Rain delays opening of Hunting Island Staff reports

The State Park Service delayed the reopening of Hunting Island State Park for at least one week after storms dropped about 7 inches of rain in less than 36 hours.

The park was scheduled to reopen over Memorial Day weekend.

However, not only did the rainfall abruptly suspend the final phases of recovery, it caused flooding that would make the park unsafe for visitors.

The new reopening date is Friday, June 2.

“We are heartbroken over the turn of events …,” said Duane Parrish, director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. “We were looking forward to welcoming the thousands of families who enjoy the park every spring and

summer. But we’re going to do everything we reasonably can to get the park ready.”

Hunting Island was scheduled to reopen on Friday, May 26, after being closed for sev-

en months following Hurricane Matthew.

The park had planned to reopen both North and South beach areas, some trails and its freshwater lagoon.

When it opens on June 2, park officials still recommend following a few tips for an optimal visit: • Car pool as much as possible, since the park lost about one-third of its parking spaces; • Visit during weekdays; • Visit during non-holidays; • Visit in the early afternoon; • Avoid restricted areas.

The admission fee for Hunting Island is $5 per person; $3 per child age 6-15 years old; free for children 5 years old and younger; and $3.25 for South Carolina senior citizens age 65 and older.

Beaufort remembers those who served

Staff reports

Hundreds of people turned out for the annual Memorial Day parade in Beaufort and the somber ceremony at the National Cemetery.

In advance of the ceremony, thousands of flags were placed at the gravesites in the cemetery.

Another Memorial Day ceremony was held at the new Beaufort County Disabilities and Special Needs (DSN) at 100 Clear Water Way in Beaufort, where the old flag was retired and a new one hoisted.

“Every morning, those that we serve at DSN walk out to the flag pole to raise Old Glory and then return to lower her for the night,” according to a release from Beaufort County Disabilities and Special Needs.

“The excitement on their faces and in their voices each day is in itself, a moving patriotic moment.

"Those that tend to the flag duties anxiously await the opportunity to properly fold Old Glory to rest for the night before flying proudly, yet another day.”

Get ready for 2017 hurricane season

By Sally Mahan

More than $50 million in damages. $269 million in FEMA settlements. 1.6 million cubic yards of debris. 64,000 hanging limbs.

3,200 trees downed.

Those are just a few of the numbers related to Hurricane Matthew’s impact on Beaufort County (not including Hilton Head Island), which barreled into the Lowcountry on Oct. 8, 2016, as a Category 1 hurricane with highs of 88 mph winds.

But the most significant number related to Hurricane Matthew is zero.

That’s the number of people who were killed in the county, and that’s why it’s so important to stay vigilant and learn from the lessons that Matthew taught us, say officials.

The 2017 Hurricane season officially starts on Thursday, June 1, and extends through Nov. 30.

This season is predicted to be an active one, with 17 named storms and five to nine hurricanes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Two to four of those hurricanes could be major storms with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.

The concern is that warm ocean waters could mean an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season because El Nino conditions are expected to be scarce. El Nino is the natural warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide and tends to reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic.

In fact, a rare tropical storm developed in April in the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Arlene didn’t threaten any land, but a named storm in April is very rare. The last time a named storm formed in the Atlantic in April was Ana in 2003.

The 2016 hurricane season also started early with a January hurricane. It was the first above-normal season since 2012, with 15 named storms, seven of which were hurricanes, with four of them major.

The good news is that a new weather satellite will help forecasters see developing storms in greater detail, according to NOAA. Here are some tips from the National Weather Service to get ready for hurricane season.

Naloxone successfully administered in overdose

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office and several other local law enforcement agencies recently received training in administering Naloxone to deal with opiod overdoses.

Less than a week after receiving the training and Naloxone, a Beaufort County Sheriff ’ Office deputy encountered an unconscious adult subject inside of a vehicle.

The deputy immediately notified Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and began to assess the subject’s condition. While waiting for EMS and after observing telltale signs of an opioid overdose (pinpoint pupils, shallow breathing), the deputy administered the unconscious subject a dose of Naloxone nasal spray.

The subject did not respond after the first dose, so following his training from Project Leon the deputy administered a second dose of Naloxone.

EMS arrived a short time later and administered additional doses of Naloxone to the subject, who ultimately regained consciousness and coherency.

Although he did not recover prior to EMS treatment, it is believed the two doses of Naloxone administered by the sheriff ’s office deputy prevented the subject’s condition from deteriorating further.

The training took place in response to a local increase in opioid (heroin and Fentanyl) overdose cases in recent months.

Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office and other area law enforcement were trained to administer Naloxone (commonly referred to as Narcan) through the Law Enforcement Officers Naloxone Training Program (Project Leon).

At the completion of training, the attendees were issued kits containing two doses of Naloxone nasal spray to administer in the field in the event of a suspected opioid overdose.

DNR: Men caught giving beer to gator

Two men are being charged with harassment of an alligator after photos were posted online showing the men pouring beer into the juvenile reptile’s mouth, according to a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) report.

Officers began investigating the case after the agency received multiple emails and messages from the public on May 25.

The alleged incident took place on May 24 on a public dirt road between Hardeeville and Tillman in Jasper County.

Joseph Andrew Floyd Jr., 20, and Zachary Lloyd Brown, 21, both of Ridgeland, admitted to officers that they picked up the alligator after they saw it crossing the road. They said they then poured beer into the animal’s mouth and took photos to A2

JUNE 1 - 7, 2017

post on social media, the report states.

According to Floyd Jr., they then released the alligator and watched it swim away in a nearby pond.

“Wildlife conservation is a big part of what SCDNR officers do each day,” SCDNR 1st Sgt. Earl Pope said. “This case is a good example of why we strive to educate people about wildlife in hopes that they will respect it.”

SCDNR is filing the misdemeanor charge of harassing wildlife through the state’s alligator management legislation. This charge carries a maximum fine of $300.

"Alligators are protected under state law and even federal law where they are still listed as threatened solely due to their similarity of appearance to other endangered crocodilians worldwide,” said SCDNR Alligator Program Coordinator Jay Butfiloski.

Anyone witnessing harassment of wildlife should report the incident to 800-922-5431.

Sheriff ’s offices seeks help in cold case

This likeness was developed to help identify a woman found murdered in Yemasee.

On May 24, 1995, the body of a partially clad woman was discovered in a drainage ditch off of Cotton Hall Road in Yemassee.

The findings of forensic autopsy revealed the victim was strangled to death in a different location within 24 hours of the discovery of her body on Cotton Hall Road.

Sexual activity close to the time of her death was also established. The cause of death tends to lean toward a personal motive and it is believed the suspect was either a boyfriend or a husband.

The woman was clad only in panties with no jewelry or other personal effects, making it difficult to determine her identity.

Investigators saturated the media and local area for clues to her identity, but were unsuccessful. Fingerprints of the victim yielded no match statewide and nationally.

Based on her appearance, it was believed she was of Hispanic decent and may have been visiting the United States.

Federal authorities and international media outlets have been involved to assist in identifying the victim. Bio-geographical DNA methods were utilized to determine her ancestry to better focus efforts in her identification. It was reported she had similar DNA sequences to those in persons from the Caribbean and South America.

This information, her ethnic appearance and the “Leonisa” brand panties only manufactured at the time in Columbia, South America, were helpful, but still has not estab-

lished her identity.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402, 843-816-8013 or robertb@bcgov.net. To remain anonymous and collect a possible reward, call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC (274-6372).

3 people hurt in May 26 crash

Two people suffered serious injuries and a man suffered critical injuries in a car crash on May 26.

Just before 1 a.m., the Burton Fire District was dispatched to the intersection of Trask Parkway and Laurel Bay Road. They arrived on scene to a two-vehicle accident between two SUVs that were heavily damaged, with one vehicle having possibly rolled over.

Three occupants from both vehicles were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital; two suffered potentially serious injuries and one man, who was not wearing a seatbelt, suffered critical injuries.

The intersection was blocked for over an hour while emergency crews assisted the injured occupants and removed roadway hazards.

In a separate incident, Burton firefighters assisted three men on May 19 after their vehicle rolled over multiple times on Trask Parkway by Detour Road. One of the men suffered potentially serious injuries after being ejected over 50 feet from the vehicle.

Tree falls on home; couple escapes injury

The Burton Fire District was dispatched to a call May 24 involving a tree crashing through a residential home on Bon Air Circle South in Shell Point.

Just before 2:30 p.m., firefighters from the Shell Point fire station responded to a report of people crushed and trapped at a residence on Bon Air Circle South in Shell Point after a tree came crashing through their home.

Firefighters arrived on scene to a severely damaged single-wide mobile home after a tree crashed through the roof and porch in the front of their home.

The two elderly residents were able to escape on their own and were refusing medical attention. One resident stated he was on the couch minutes before that tree came crashing through their home, destroying the couch.

Burton firefighters assisted the homeowners in removing personal belongings, medications and important documents, as well as placing tarps over the home to protect the interior from the weather. Firefighters were forced to retreat when the home became more unstable and roofing began to fail.

Burton firefighters shut off power to the home and secured the residence as best they could. The American Red Cross was notified to assist the couple.

The Burton Fire District also responded to other storm-related calls including downed wires and trees, and also assisted the Port Royal Fire Department.

HEALTH HEALTH BRIEFS Beaufort Memorial has new MRI technology

Beaufort Memorial MRI technician Mario Rodriguez performs an MRI using the Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). BMH is the first hospital in the Lowcountry to apply DTI to look at the path of white matter in the brain, which can show brain abnormalities.

Beaufort Memorial has a new reason to celebrate Stroke Awareness Month this May. The nonprofit hospital recently invested in

cutting-edge MRI technology that can help doctors assess the amount of damage a stroke has caused to a patient’s brain and determine the most effective treatment to reverse it.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) will allow neurologists to evaluate the location, orientation and magnitude of damage that occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptures.

“Our primary goal in treating stroke is to minimize disability,” said Beaufort Memorial board-certified neurologist Dr. Paul Mazzeo. “DTI will help us do that.”

BMH upgraded its MRI scanner with the DTI technology to participate in a clinical trial examining the effects of a new antiplatelet drug in people with weakness due to stroke.

“As part of this research, we need the ability to measure stroke damage in a more refined way,” said Mazzeo, principal investigator for the study. “That is where DTI comes in.”

The human brain consists of gray matter (neurons/wiring) and white matter (myelin/insulation). MRI-DTI lets physicians see the white matter tracts of the brain much more clearly than standard MRI. Like most hospitals, BMH uses a technique called Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) to detect an acute stroke. It is now the first hospital in the Lowcountry to apply DTI to look at the path of white matter in the brain, which can show brain abnormalities.

In addition to strokes, DTI can be used to evaluate a number of other conditions. In epilepsy, it can help physicians determine if a patient would benefit from curative surgery.

It can reveal active disease in a patient with multiple sclerosis, even if a standard MRI is normal. It also can distinguish normal tissue from brain tumors.

For more information on Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s imaging services, visit www.bmhsc.org or call 843-522-5015.

BMH names VP of Quality Services Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has named Shawna Doran vice president of quality services, responsible for planning and leading all quality, patient safety, risk and patient experience initiatives.

For the last year, Doran has served as the hospital’s corporate director of quality. Under her leadership, BMH has been awarded multiple national honors for quality and safety from organizations, such as The Joint Commission and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Prior to becoming a registered nurse, Doran was a litigation paralegal for 15 years

specializing in hospital law, professional liability and compliance. A graduate of Walden University with a master’s in Nursing, Doran joined Beaufort Memorial in 2004 as a registered nurse in the hospital’s Shawna Doran Progressive Care Unit and then to the Surgical Services Department.

Three years later, she changed career paths to risk management and patient safety.

She was named quality coordinator of the

Surgical Services Department and went on to play an integral role in the development of Beaufort Memorial’s Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) program, allowing the hospital to perform emergency cardiac interventions on patients suffering deadly heart attacks. In its first year, the program earned top honors for cardiac care by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association.

In 2015, Doran was named director of quality and regulatory affairs, and within a year was promoted to corporate director

of quality.

This spring, Doran was honored with a South Carolina Palmetto Gold Award for making huge strides to enhance patient care.

Her evidence-based quality improvement initiatives helped the hospital achieve an “A” rating from The Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Grades and the only four-star score among area hospitals in Hospital Compare, a federal website offering information on the quality of care at more than 4,000 Medicaid-certified hospitals across the country.

Keep an eye on eye health in sports at all times.

Protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses should be worn for sports such as basketball, racquet sports, Dr. Mark Siegel soccer and field hockey. Choose eye protectors that have been tested to meet the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards or that pass the CSA racquet sports standard.

If you already have reduced vision in one eye, consider the risks of injuring the stronger eye before participating in contact or racquet sports, which pose a higher risk of eye injury.

Check with your ophthalmologist to see if appropriate eye protection is available and whether or not participating in contact or racquet sports is advised.

Other risky activities While sports account for a particularly high number of eye injuries, they are by no means the only hobby that poses a risk to

your sight. According to physicians surveyed for the 2008 Eye Injury Snapshot conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma, more than 40 percent of patients treated for eye injuries sustained at home were involved in home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking. Use common sense and err on the side of caution, whatever the activity.

• Consider the risk of flying debris or other objects during activities and wear appropriate eye protection.

• Remember that eyeglasses aren’t sufficient protection.

• Be careful during activities or games involving projectiles and other sharp objects that could create injury if in contact with the eye.

For example, the U.S. Eye Injury Registry indicates that fishing is the No. 1 cause of sports-related eye injuries.

• If you wear contacts or eyeglasses, pack a back-up form of vision correction during bike trips or other activities where you could

lose or shatter a lens.

If an eye injury occurs, see an ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room immediately, even if the eye injury appears minor. Delaying medical attention can result in permanent vision

loss or blindness.

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT

Tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries occur each year. The good news is that 90 percent of serious eye injuries are preventable through use of appropriate protective eyewear.

The risk of eye injury can vary depending on the activity. Make sure the level of eye protection you or others in your family use is appropriate for the type of activity. Regular eyeglasses do not offer proper eye protection.

High-risk sports For all age groups, sports-related eye injuries occur most frequently in baseball, basketball and racquet sports.

Boxing and full-contact martial arts pose an extremely high risk of serious and even blinding eye injuries. There is no satisfactory eye protection for boxing, although thumbless gloves may reduce the number of boxing eye injuries.

In baseball, ice hockey and men’s lacrosse, a helmet with a polycarbonate (an especially strong, shatterproof, lightweight plastic) face mask or wire shield should be worn

The summer months are defined by a peak in brown shrimp, which are similar to white shrimp in size and taste. In the fall and into winter, shrimpers once again bring white shrimp to the docks – this time the offspring of the spring roe shrimp.

America’s favorite seafood is back in season at South Carolina docks and markets.

Commercial shrimp trawling reopened in all legal South Carolina waters on May 24, and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) biologists are optimistic about the coming season.

“So far we’ve seen indications that it should be a good year,” said Mel Bell, director of SCDNR’s Office of Fisheries Management. “Of course, after establishing the opening date, based on the condition of the resource, we have no control over how things will go. The success of the season will be up to the hard work of the fishermen and the environmental conditions they encounter throughout the year.”

The present season comes on the heels of an unusual year. The 2016 shrimp season was preceded by a record fall flooding event, book-ended by two abnormally warm winters, and included multiple tropical systems, including Hurricane Matthew.

SCDNR models predicted high shrimp numbers in the spring, but ultimately the 2016 commercial harvest and value were on par with the 10-year averages – commercial trawlers harvested just shy of 2 million pounds (measured heads-off ) with a $7.8 million dockside value.

By comparison, shrimpers netted a little over 2 million pounds of shrimp worth more than $8.5 million in 2015.

Shrimp season normally opens in full in mid- to late-May, sometimes after the opening of eight smaller provisional areas in the state’s outer waters. This year those provisional areas opened on April 20, allowing shrimpers to begin harvesting while still protecting most of the spawning population closer to shore.

The opening date for shrimp season changes from year to year based on the conditions of the shrimp themselves.

“It all depends on what the shrimp are doing – numbers, growth and development,” Bell said.

SCDNR biologists head out aboard both commercial and agency vessels to study and sample the crustaceans, and one of the things they’re looking for is evidence that a majority of female white shrimp have already spawned.

Opening the season too soon – and allowing trawlers to catch females that are still carrying eggs – could reduce the size of the fall white shrimp crop, which are the offspring of the spring white shrimp.

“The results of our recent surveys are encouraging for another good spring roe crop,” said wildlife biologist Jeff Brunson. “In April we caught over two times as many shrimp on our sampling trips as the 10-year average, and the size of the shrimp was fairly typical for this time of year.”

South Carolina’s commercial shrimp calendar has three peak periods. In the spring, shrimpers capitalize on the influx of roe white shrimp, large, early-season shrimp that generally fetch higher prices and generate the most value for fishing effort.

BUSINESS

Are you prepared for retirement?

Yes, I know it’s June, temperatures are in the 90s, warm sunrays, cool breaking waves and the last thing on your mind is your retirement.

Have you ever noticed how the only time you see ads on the TV are either in December or January when financial institutions are after you to put your money into an IRA or other type retirement plan?

We have to admit we all tend to put off to tomorrow what we should do today, and unfortunately our retirement is no exception.

However, before you know it the years will have passed and if you are like most people, you are not going to like the results.

According to the U.S. Census Department, which looked at wealth by age group, there is a benchmark that Americans can use to judge for themselves where they stand.

Looking at the chart, simply find your age and see the net worth and then see how you stack up.

The general approach is to take your net worth and figure out the amount you can withdraw over your estimated life expectancy and see if you can really live on that amount each year with no income, except maybe Social Security. And naturally, Social Security is at best a maybe these days.

For example, let us assume a net worth of $100,000, and using the general rule of thumb of taking 4 percent each year and assuming you do get Social Security, it works out in the neighborhood of about $20,000 per year.

Considering the cost of living in today's dollars, plus the fact that the average American lives to be 78, most of us would find that number hard to live on.

Obviously you can improve your numbers if you invest.

It is estimated that more than half of American households own a mutual fund, an $11.6 trillion dollar industry.

But are American’s putting all their eggs into one Michael Osteen basket along with all their hopes and dreams?

Take an S&P 500 EFT fund (SPY) is selling at about $212 per share and for 10 years returns 4.4 percent average per year.

Let’s do some math and use 4.5 percent to align with the compound factor table rather than 4.4 percent.

Taking our $1,000 at 4.5 percent for 10 years = $1,000 x 1.553 = $1,553.

Next, we figure the inflation part, $1,000 at 3 percent for 10 years = $1,000 x 1.344= $1,344.

Then take the $1,553 - $1,344 = $209.

We see that in real dollars you only have a net gain of $209 above inflation.

Now it is much easier to see how inflation erodes the 4.4 percent initial figure. That $209 is really a 1.5 percent return, not 4.5 percent after 10 years.

And we did not take into consideration the expense ratio of the EFT fund, which would lower it.

Just to be clear, putting your money into an ETF or index fund is much better than stuffing your mattress. But, you need to understand that relaying solely on them is really missing out on the opportunity to build real wealth.

As you can plainly see from the example above, to build wealth you need another tool in your investment toolbox.

That is why individuals, as well as large mu-

tual fund companies like Vanguard Inc. invest in individual stocks.

That’s right: Vanguard, the largest provider of mutual funds and the second largest provider of ETFs in the world, invests in individual stocks in companies, not mutual funds.

Vanguard has invested in 1,800 companies where it owns a minimum of 5 percent of the company’s individual shares of stock.

Naturally, they have invested in others owning a percent higher than 5 percent.

Investing in individual stocks is their hedge against inflation.

How many millionaires do you know that have become wealthy by investing in mutual funds?

The fact of the matter is to build wealth your returns need to be higher to fight against the erosion of inflation. If you want to live on more than say $20,000 a year in

retirement, or make more than 1.5 percent, in our opinion you should consider putting a portion into individual stocks to have a hedge against inflation.

Lowcountry Phone Directory wins awards

The 2017 edition of the phone book — the company’s 23rd — won three ADP Gold Book Awards at the association’s meeting in Fort Worth, Texas: • Richard Peterson accepted a first-place award for Excellence in Cover Design and Art in the directory division.

• Ashley Cooper received a second-place award for Excellence in Television Advertising in the marketing division.

• Cooper accepted the third-place award for Excellence in Print Directories in the 50,001 to 100,000 circulation category.

Cooper also was one of two new members elected to a three-year ADP board term.

The 2017 directory was mailed in March to customers in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. It features community profiles, images by local photographers and a newcomers guide.

The photo featured on the award-winning cover was shot by Eric Horan and shows the Gay Fish Company docks on St. Helena Island.

ADP was founded in 1898 and includes members from the U.S., Canada and other nations. Its Gold Book Awards are a juryand peer-voted recognition of outstanding Yellow Pages production and marketing.

FROM THE FRONT

Hurricane from page A1

Don’t forget coverage for your car or boat.

Remember, standard homeowner's insurance doesn’t cover flooding. Whether you’re a homeowner or renter, you’ll need a separate policy for it, and it’s available through your company, agent or the National Flood Insurance Program at www.floodsmart.gov.

Flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.

Prepare your home If you plan to ride out the storm in your home, make sure it is in good repair and up to local hurricane building code specifications.

Many of these retrofits do not cost much or take as long to do as you may think.

Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand the winds.

Have an evacuation plan When officials say it’s time to go, pay attention. If you choose to stay during a hurricane, you will not have access to emergency services. In other words, you’re on your own.

If you plan to evacuate, know your hurricane evacuation route by visiting www. sctraffic.org/evacroutes.html.

Next you’ll need to figure out where you’d go and how you’d get there if told to evacuate.

Identify someone, perhaps a friend or relative who doesn’t live in a hurricane zone, and work it out with them to use their home as your evacuation destination. Be sure to account for your pets, as most local shelters do not permit them. Put the plan in writing for you and those you care about.

Shelters will also be available and locations will be announced by local authorities at the time of evacuation.

Put together a hurricane kit As we learned from Matthew, preparation is key.

You’re going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy and unpleasant aftermath,

according to the National Weather Service.

Have enough non-perishable food, water and medicine to last each person in your family a minimum of one week You’ll also need extra cash, a battery-powered radio and flashlights and a portable, crank or solar powered USB charger.

If you decide to stay in your home after a disaster, you should have a three-day supply of food and water (plan for a gallon of water per person per day and food that won’t spoil.

Also, keep a manual can opener and emergency tools such as a fire extinguisher, battery-powered radio and flashlights and plenty of batteries.

Also, be sure to have the following items: • Cash (banks and ATMs may not be available for extended periods) • A full tank of gas.

• Food and water (don’t forget water and food for pets, too) • First aid kit • Prescription drugs • Toiletries • Any special items for babies and the elderly • Personal papers such as copies of birth certificates and other important documents • Insurance papers Getting information In the wake of Hurricane Matthew and in the interest of providing a consistent message, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, in coordination with other governmental and public utility entities serving Beaufort County, has made improvements to public information.

In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, the county primarily communicates with the public via e-mail and text through its NIXLE alert and advisory system, which links to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

County officials are asking residents to visit www.bcso.net and subscribe to the NIXLE alert and advisory system to receive up-to-date information from the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

In addition, there will be an alert link at www.bcso.net, where those who have not subscribed to NIXLE can also access information.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY

Stop smell the flowers

Garden-A-Day week begins at The Point. This garden and its historic house are located on the Beaufort River. Photo provided.

Staff reports

Every day is something special during the Beaufort Garden Club’s 23rd annual Garden-A-Day. This event, which takes place from Monday, June 5, to Friday, June 9, features strolls through lovely gardens throughout the community.

Garden-A-Day week begins at The Point. This garden and its historic house are located on the Beaufort River with a view of the swing bridge.

The garden gives a sense of serenity with its stately oak trees.

Various garden venues are bounded by boxwoods of all sizes. Some feature giant Farfugiums with their polished leaves, potted lemon and kumquat trees. In other areas Podocarpus is accented by varieties of azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, annuals and much more.

The entry immediately captures the quiet of the river with the sound of trickling water from the elegant fountain.

Tuesday's garden in Spanish Point has a twofold purpose.

The first is to delight the young at heart with a G-scale garden railroad that meanders through a landscape of shade-loving mosses, ground covers and flowers. Hobby train lovers will find this feature a delight.

The second is to provide a wildlife habitat for birds. This part of the garden is under a canopy of pine and oak trees with an understory of azaleas and hydrangeas.

Bird feeders hang from branches and birdbaths are tucked along the edges of the woods planted with green and white Hosta intermixed with pink Caladiums.

Gardening has always been a passion for Wednesday's gardener in Bluff Farms on Lady's Island.

When she moved there the yard was all wooded and the decision was to keep it that way: not a blade of grass.

Another goal was to have something blooming at all times and to use only native plants.

To replace the lack of grass, the focus was to infuse the garden with as much green as possible. So, 149 bushes and trees were planted over 11 years along with many other perennials. The challenge was to work around a drain field and many micro climates a mere 8 feet apart. The result is a soft wood-

land landscape looking out on Factory Creek.

In the process of downsizing and looking for a smaller house, Thursday's Port Royal gardener fell in love with the yard. While out of control, it had great bones.

When her mom passed away as the landscaping began, she created a memorial to her mom and a sanctuary for all who visit. The sound of chimes invites you in and paths lead to benches where anyone can sit and feel welcome. Original art hangs on the fence and pots of flowers are everywhere. The yard is infused with the colors of purple and red.

Friday's garden is a reflection of places visited and loved, and places never visited but admired. The garden is planted in "drifts of one" because that's what the budget will allow.

It's a combination of plants shared by generous gardening friends as well as many unique plants started from seed, cuttings or division.

This gardener describes herself as a "plunker": one who wanders around her garden with plant and trowel in hand looking for the right spot. Gardeners abhor a bare spot like nature abhors a vacuum.

Located in Walling Grove on Lady's Island, it's a gardener's treasure trove and an inspiration.

Garden-A-Day When: Gardens are open from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

What: A tour of Lowcountry gardens sponsored by the Beaufort Garden Club. Certified Master Gardener members of the Low Country Master Gardener Association will be on hand to help identify plants and answer questions.

Active-duty and retired military patrons will receive an additional 10 percent discount to thank them for their service.

Locally made craft items including jewelry, hand-knits and the famous “church mice” from Beaufort’s Parish Church of St. Helena will be available as well.

“We’ll have special events throughout our anniversary week – pop-ups and ‘sudden

sales’ like half off all pocketbooks,” said store manager Gordon Mabie. “You just never know what will happen next.”

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to ? on Saturday; and closed on Sunday. Free parking is available in a lot west of the building.

A quiet haven in the bustle of the store, 2or3’s prayer room is always available when the Treasure House is open.

2or3 opened on June 1, 2016, after mov-

ing from a Port Royal location where it was known as Mission Treasure House.

“Business was picking up and we desperately needed more space,” said Mabie.

The new store is at 203 Carteret St., and the name 2or3 comes from Matthew’s Gospel where Jesus says, “Whenever 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, there I am among them.”

2or3 Treasure House is at 203 Carteret St. in Beaufort. Call 843-525-0058.

As the two men raised their rifles visualizing “brother against brother,” a discernible gasp could be heard from the crowd. Without making a sound, the two men then lowered the muskets and just walked away.

Street Music in Port Royal

Beaufort author wins book award Beaufort-based author T.D. (Tim) Johnston has been named the winner of the 2017 International Book Award for Short Fiction, for his short-story collection “Friday Afternoon and Other Stories.”

Johnston's book, which contains a dozen short stories, has drawn rave reviews since its publication last year. The title story is currently in film production in California.

"I'm thrilled to receive this honor, not only for my work but for the Lowcountry, which has such a rich literary tradition," Johnston said.

“Friday Afternoon and Other Stories” is available locally at Macintosh Books, NeverMore Books, Beaufort Bookstore, Magnolia Cafe, Barnes and Noble, and Mango's (Fripp Island), as well as at Amazon.

Readers can also visit the author's website at www.tdjohnston.com.

The series Street Music on Paris Avenue in Port Royal got underway May 13. The outdoor concert series is an annual highlight in the community. The concert, however, had to moved to the Port Royal Skate Park off Ribaut Road because of inclement weather.

The Etta Mann Non-Traditional Women’s Scholarship is given each May in memory of longtime Beaufort educator Etta Mann to a woman who exemplifies the ideals of AAUW, empowering women who face challenges and overcome them to complete their college degree. This year’s recipient is Sharonica Gavin,who has been working for several years to complete her Health Services degree from USCB, and the Beaufort Chapter of AAUW applauds her effort and tenacity. From left are Dr. Rebecca Cooper, president of AAUW; Dr. Celeste Nawalsky, president-elect; Gavin; and Sarah Jorgensen, scholarship committee.

Whale Branch seniors earn two-year degrees

Six Whale Branch Early College High School seniors picked up their high school diplomas on May 26 having already earned two years of college course credits.

The students took advantage of a partnership with the Technical College of the Lowcountry that allows Whale Branch students to take college courses – and earn twoyear associate’s degrees – while still in high school and at no cost to themselves or their parents. The TCL degree represents a twoyear head-start as the students work toward earning a bachelor’s degree or entering the workforce.

The six Whale Branch seniors actually earned “double” TCL associate’s degrees in both Arts and Science.

They are Thomas Felver, Destiny Hall, Briona Millidge, Liliana Molina, Thomas Vicuna and Judah Wood.

Twelve other Whale Branch seniors graduated with college certificates for completing significant college-level coursework at TCL. They are: Ebony Beasley, Tariq Clark, Kendra Crawford, George Delaney, Jordan Johnson, Kaya Maat, Elisabeth McMillan, Micaela Minter-Ford, Dayvon Polite, Tyleasha Robinson, Evelyn Serrano-Mundo and Shawna Wright.

Public works plants trees with students

The end of spring break provided a surprise for some Beaufort County students.

Beaufort County’s Public Works Department, Solid Waste and Recycling Section, received a grant through Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, and partnered with Beaufort County School District staff to identify three schools to receive a fruit tree garden.

Each garden was planted with a mixture of 11 different varieties of apple and pear trees.

Trees were planted at James J. Davis Early Childhood Center, St. Helena Elementary and Whale Branch Elementary to provide fresh snacks and to help promote healthy food choices. The tree gardens will also add to the students’ environmental studies.

Thirty trees were purchased by Keep Beaufort County Beautiful with funds provided by a Keep America Beautiful/UPS Foundation tree grant.

The tree vendor, Ty Ty Nursery, was so impressed with the project that it donated an additional 30 trees, allowing for a total of 60 trees to be planted – 20 at each school.

Trees were shipped at “fruit-bearing” size in an effort to bring quick results for the students. The gardens are expected to yield fruit this fall.

The school district provided site preparation. The Beaufort County’s Public Works staff and a volunteer team from Horticulture Management Services enhanced the soils and planted all the trees. Watering will be provided by the students along with school district staff.

Amateur Tate Hoisington of Hilton Head Island won the 66th Annual South Carolina Open, a Carolinas PGA Section event held at Dataw Island and presented by Yamaha Golf Cars.

Peter Skirpstas, of Jacksonville, N.C., came in second overall and won the first place professional division prize.

After days of rain delays, tournament officials decided to conclude the tournament at the completion of 36 holes.

Another afternoon rain delay left two groups awaiting the weather to break long enough to allow them to complete their rounds, with the possibility of a playoff buzzing throughout the Clubhouse, with three leaders in the Clubhouse tied at 2 under: Ray Franz, of Mount Pleasant, (pro); Johnson Holliday, of Aynor (amateur); and Matt O’Quinn, of Beaufort, who is a member of the Dataw Island Club.

Around 4:30, the groups were given B4

the green light to complete their rounds with amateur Tate Hoisington finishing at 140 for first. Skirpstas, competing in the same group, finished at 142, while the trio of Franz, Holliday, and O’Quinn finished in third.

In an interview with Yamaha’s JT Carney following the round, Hoisington said that the Dataw Island superintendents and golf maintenance team did a great job of maintaining the course, even with several inches of rain falling each day.

“It was fantastic,” Hoisington said.

“The greens were perfect. And, the course surprisingly wasn’t that wet. It was phenomenal. All things considered, it was great!”

The event was sponsored by Yamaha, 2 UNDR, Premier Golf Services, and True Temper and was played on Dataw’s Cotton Dike course, a Tom Fazio design.

VOICES

Beaufort is truly the little town that could There is an old poem about a Little Blue Engine that was asked to pull a train up a small mountain.

The poem, written in the 1930s, was meant to capture the meaning of optimism and hard work. The little train had toys and wholesome food for little boys and girls but it had broken down. When the town asked the big engines to help, they refused because they were too important to help the little train.

But the Little Blue Engine decided to help, despite her small size. She said to herself, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”

As I was reading The Island News recently about all the things going on in Beaufort, I thought of that little engine.

There are so many events and programs being held in Beaufort which one would not expect for a small town.

The city proper only has around 13,000 residents (as of the 2015 count) and yet it puts on large events all the time.

Think of the International Film Festival which brings in participants from all over

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

But the town is like the little engine. It thinks it can. No, it is not Savannah, or Charleston. It is just a little community; yet I could fill up every night of the week with events, programs and festivals to attend. the world. Then there are all those festivals downtown at the Waterfront Park.

I feel like Bubba talking to Forest Gump.

There’s The Shrimp Festival and Taste of

Beaufort, Music, Arts and Seafood Festival; The Beaufort Water Festival; The Light up the Night Boat Parade Festival.

Sweet Lord! How does such a small town

get the energy and volunteers to accomplish all these things?

Don’t the people that run these events have other jobs? Don’t they have families? I mean even the number of volunteers in the community is limited.

But the town is like the little engine. It thinks it can. No, it is not Savannah, or Charleston. It is just a little community; yet I could fill up every night of the week with events, programs and festivals to attend.

How does such a small community put on so much? I think the answer lies in the old poem. It is all about optimism and hard work. The people that championed the Waterfront Park and the volunteers with the historical society are credited with the present success of the town.

But it is the rest of the citizens that spurred these leaders along. To me, they are the main reason why the town was recognized by Southern Living as “The Best Small Town in the South” for 2017.

And just like the Little Blue Engine said, “I thought could. I thought I could. I thought I could.”

Is Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association out of date?

By Mark Weeks

Over its 35 years of existence the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association has evolved in the manner and methods by which it serves the Lady’s Island community.

The organization has come a long way from the days when Pat Harvey Palmer, a founding member of LIBPA, led the drive to raise money to purchase street signs followed by leading a “self-help” program to install them on Lady’s Island roads.

Over the years the organization has, from time to time, had to almost reinvent itself to be able to cope with the latest challenges. This year may be another one of those times as the city of Beaufort expands its boundaries and influence on Lady’s Island, national-level companies establish an

increased presence on the island and population growth returns with enthusiasm.

If the answer is that as a result of these changing factors LIBPA can better represent the island with a bit of reorganization, the next question is what changes should be considered and what should remain the same?

Before we begin considering potential changes to LIBPA, perhaps we should identify some things that have stood the test of time and should be continued as general “rules of the road” in the way LIBPA does business. Following are a few of such general policies: • LIBPA is not political in the sense that it does not endorse or oppose any individual political candidate. It is political in the sense that it will publicly take positions on

LETTER TO EDITOR Kudos to longtime teacher on retirement

Allow me to crow a little bit with pride and admiration.

My wife, Kristy Wood, known to hundreds of Beaufortonians (both children and adults) as “Miss Kristy,” will be retiring from the Honeytree Preschool on June 1 after her presence there for a little over 40 years.

I'm proud of the love she has shared, as well as the ethics she has instilled, with the many children she has taught over the years. I admire her for both her patience and stamina over those years, not only with her charges, but with what she has also taught and shared with me over our 44 years together.

I'm not sure how many people appreciate the amount of effort a good pre-kindergarten teacher must exert to help build the strong foundations of ethical citizenship and self esteem within the (proven) critical age of 4- and 5-year-old children.

I think Miss Kristy has gone above and beyond those efforts and requirements. I see the results often, when we are out in public and youngsters, as both past and present students, run up to her requiring a hug and some conversation.

Kristy was part of the early core Honeytree staff, housed way back when in the Pigeon Point neighborhood, which included Miss Sue Ann, the two Miss Bettys, Miss Kathy, Miss Audrey and Miss Connie. Kris was also an early graduate of the (then) young Leadership Beaufort program. She helped Sue Ann establish the first Hobbit Hill over in Shell Point, not to mention the countless hours of continuing education and CPR classes, DHEC regulation compliances and the work required for hundreds of arts and crafts projects.

I'm so proud of her proven good works and citizenship both inside and outside the classroom and I've been privileged to ride on her coattails in a social regard.

Although I will miss the many “Kids Say the Darn-est Things” stories, I look forward to our retired life together which may prove Kristy's biggest challenge yet: patience with me, Mr. Kristy.

subjects, such as roads and schools, which affect the Lady’s Island community.

• LIBPA will strive to maintain good communication and relations with the elected officials and public servants who must make key decisions regarding Lady’s Island.

• LIBPA will play nice with others. If anything was learned from the “annexation wars” it was that communication, cooperation and courtesy produces much better results than anger, animosity and lawsuits. In that same respect it is much easier to work with professional friends even when you don’t always agree.

• LIBPA is not a fundraiser and will attempt to keep its membership dues at a level that allows it to fund programs which significantly benefit the community.

• LIBPA fully understands and appreciates that building and maintaining a great community is a team effort involving political, environmental, financial, business and educational interest.

• LIBPA will be actively involved in the support of both the private and public schools on the island.

In keeping with our search to find ways to better serve the community, LIBPA board member Paul Butare is working with Kelly Chelten of Lowcountry Spotlight to find ways to better use social media and especially our Facebook page.

All suggestions or recommendations from our members as to how we can improve are most welcome and encouraged.

Mark Weeks is the president of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association.

The world of Pinot Noirs is probably one of the most complex and confusing in the wine world.

As we've discussed in the past, this a particularly difficult grape to grow and to make into wine. It is more susceptible in the vineyards to soil and climate subtleties and to vine diseases.

For years, the icon for good Pinot Noir wines has been the Burgundy region of Eastern France. There is also a huge range of styles of Pinot Noir.

But other styles have shown themselves over recent years in California. Oregon, Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. That’s bad news for wine drinkers because as more is learned about Pinot Noirs, their prices have risen.

Sometimes, the higher prices mean something, sometimes not. Our lesson today has a "not" wine to learn.

Louis Latour is one of the very best producers of French red Burgundies and some of the best and most expensive Pinot Noir wines in the world.

Like other producers, the Latour company has expanded its resources to vineyards outside the official Burgundy boundaries. According to French wine laws, these vineyards may not be as good soil and climate sites, but that doesn't mean they cannot make good wines from the grapes grown there. Really good wines.

One has to trust the expertise of a company like Latour to know good soils and climates, and how to make good wines from them. It's not like they'd put their centuries old reputation in jeopardy to make an "ungood" wine!

For background, Maison Louis Latour has over 200 years of history in the Burgundy region. The family has been growing grapes since the 17th century. The house was founded in 1797. Today, they own 125 acres of vineyards, a massive holding in the region.

In 1997, Maison Latour was admitted to the Hénokiens, an exclusive club for family owned businesses with at least a 200-year history and still owned and operated by the family and still with the founder's name.

In 1979, the Latour company decided to make a Chardonnay wine from vineyards outside the official Burgundy region. The Ardeche area was chosen for its clay and limestone soil.

For Pinot Noir, outside of Burgundy, they chose the Var region. This region was formed in 1790, at the time of the French Revolution.

Latour's goal was to make a top quality but still affordable Pinot Noir wine: DoCelia Strong maine de Valmoissine.

This domaine is located on the site of an ancient monastery. The area is the truffle hunting capital of Provence. The vineyards are 1,640 feet above sea level with lots of sunshine during the summer months, but still cool nights and limited spring frosts.

All of which lands us at our wine for this week: Latour Domaine de Valmoissine Pinot Noir.

This wine is 100 percent Pinot Noir. The average age of the vines is 15 years. The vineyards have a southern exposure, with clay and limestone soil. But the vines are pruned to control their yields, which means more flavors in fewer grapes.

Many of the grapes are hand harvested, which allows for more control of the maturity and ripeness of each and every grape, factors that show themselves in better quality wines.

The grapes are fermented in open vats, and the wine is aged 10 to 12 months in stainless steel.

The Valmoissine Pinot is elegant with remarkable finesse. It is fruity with cherry and berry flavors with hints of truffle and expresso.

Absolutely true to its variety. It has a soft, silky texture in your mouth, and soft tannins that make it a food wine and a sipping wine.

Some critics have said this is the best Vin de Pays Pinot Noir wine that anyone produces.

And, even better, that some Burgundian Pinot Noirs would be lucky to taste this good. Pretty high bar to hit!

So, our lesson is not only a new wine, but a new perspective. As good as the highest level wines are, most of us can be really happy with better than they have to be "lesser" levels.

Truly, there are Pinots and then there are Pinots.

For $11.99! Enjoy.
