Voter’s Guide: Primaries set for June 9
PEACEFUL PROTEST
By Mindy Lucas Despite discussions to postpone June’s statewide primaries and possible runoff elections due to the coronavirus outbreak, elections will proceed as scheduled. That means primaries will take place on Tuesday, June 9 and any runoff elections will be held on Tuesday, June ID required 23. You will need Those con- a photo ID cerned about in order to vote. See list COVID-19 or of accepted need to vote photo IDs on absentee, take page, A7. note: Governor Henry McMaster recently signed into law legislation that allows all qualified South Carolina voters to vote absentee in any election held in June. (The provision expires on July 1 and does not apply to any elections after that date.) Voters need only to choose Reason 18 – State of Emergency on the absentee application and have up until 5 p.m. the day before the election to vote by absentee ballot at the county’s election offices. For those interested in voting in Tuesday’s primary, here’s what you need to know:
At least 20 and as many as 75 people gathered throughout the day on Sunday at Ribaut Road and Boundary Street across from Beaufort City Hall and Beaufort Police Department to protest police brutality and injustice. The event was slated to begin about noon and go on all day, but some people began gathering as early as 9 a.m. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

“Black lives matter.” “Stop the violence.” “Please, I can’t breathe.” “With Liberty and Justice for all.” “Solidarity.” “What if it was your brother?” “What if it was your son?” “Justice for Trey Pringle.” “We need justice.” “What if it was your own family?”

f you’ve driven past the intersection of Ribaut Road and Boundary Street the past few days, you’ve likely seen one or more of these signs. Like much of the rest of the country over the past few days, some folks in Beaufort stood up to say enough is enough. On Monday, May 25, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis. While he was handcuffed and

face down on the ground, white police officer Derek Chauvin, kneeled on him, pressing his knee into his neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd pleaded that he hurt and could not breathe, even asking for his mother. Three other police officers essentially stood and watched. Eventually, Floyd stopped pleading, dying on the street. By Tuesday, video of the incident, difficult to watch, was viral, and the four officers were fired. And the protests began. In
Who’s on the Ballot Since there is no opposition for the Democratic nominations in Beaufort County, there will be no Democratic Party primary in this election, so only those running in Republican primaries on June 9 are listed below. (Candidates will then go on to face their Democratic challenger, if any, in November.) Those candidates include:
Minneapolis. And Louisville. And New York. And Los Angeles. And Nashville. And Atlanta. And everywhere, it seemed. By Friday night, America was on fire. At this point, Chauvin was arrested and charged with 3rd-degree murder. In the long run, experience tells me, that may be meaningless.
Here in Beaufort While chaos was ruling elsewhere, as close as Savannah and Charleston, JaCorey Wright and Timothy Garvin, with help from others, of course, set the wheels in motion in their backyard. What started Saturday with a handful of folks on the side of the street, by Sunday afternoon had progressed into 75 people on the

NEWS
Average shrimp season forecast for 2020 From the S.C. DNR In a year that’s been anything but average for humans, biologists are forecasting a typical season for South Carolina’s favorite crustacean. Commercial shrimp trawling opened in all legal South Carolina waters at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 27. Georgia officials have not yet set an opening date for trawling season in their state waters. Shrimping season in South Carolina typically starts in spring with the opening of a small subset of waters, called provisional areas, that allow shrimpers to take advantage of the harvest offshore while still protecting the majority of shrimp that have yet to spawn. This year, following a mild winter, South Carolina’s provisional trawling areas opened unusually early, on
April 15. “What started out looking like an accelerated year for spawning activity was likely slowed a bit by the unusually cool water temperatures in April,” said Mel Bell, director of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ (SCDNR) Office of Fisheries Management. The full opening on May 27 falls in line with an average year. “Based on field sampling completed by SCDNR biologists earlier in the year, as well as reported landings of shrimp from federal waters and our provisional areas beginning in mid-April, our white shrimp abundance this year should be about average or slightly better in comparison to previous similar years,” Bell said.

Some Beaufort County buildings already re-opened
Beaufort County remains on schedule to resume regular services and reopen its buildings to the public on Monday, June 15. In the meantime, some buildings have reopened on a limited basis. The County still strongly encourages residents to conduct County business online, through email, or over the phone when possible. The Administration building, at 100 Ribaut Road in Beaufort, has tables set up in the hallways with drop boxes. Members of the public who require in-person assistance are encouraged to call ahead and make an appointment with the department they wish to visit. Beaufort County Council and committee meetings will continue to be held virtually for the time-being.

In the interest of preventing any further spread of COVID-19, the County is operating according to public health guidelines put forth by DHEC and the CDC. All County employees have been provided with hand sanitizer and are required to wear face-coverings in the workplace. Anyone visiting a County building is also required to wear a face-covering while in the building. All buildings that have opened on a limited basis will close to the public at 4:30 p.m. each day for disinfecting.
Business license renewals, H-tax, A-tax due June 20
Business license renewals for 2020 for the City of Beaufort are due by June 20. Hospitality and accommodations taxes for February, March and April are also due by that date. In March, to help local businesses affect-
study white shrimp frequently in late spring. One of the things they’re looking for is evidence that a majority of female white shrimp have already spawned at least once. Opening the season too soon
– and allowing trawlers to catch females that have not had an opportunity to spawn – could reduce the size of the fall white shrimp crop, which are the offspring of the spring white shrimp. South Carolina's commercial shrimp calendar has historically had three peak periods. In the spring, shrimpers typically 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. The summer months are typically defined by a peak in brown shrimp, which are similar to white shrimp in size and taste. In the fall and into winter, shrimpers bring in a second crop of white shrimp; the offspring of the spring roe shrimp.
ed by the COVID-19 pandemic, City Council voted to waive penalties and interest on late filings for 2020 business license renewals, normally due on April 15. They also agreed to waive penalties and interest on late filings of hospitality and accommodations taxes. Business owners are encouraged to renew licenses via the self-service portal that can be accessed at https://beaufort.munisselfservice.com/citizens/default.aspx. Business owners can also renew business licenses by mailing renewal forms and payment to 1911 Boundary St., Beaufort, S.C. 29902. If any assistance is needed to calculate license fees, please call 843-525-7025 or email buslicense@cityofbeaufort.org. Business owners are encouraged to file accommodations and hospitality tax via the self-service portal referenced above or by mailing in forms and payment. If any assistance is needed, please call 843-525-7025.
Because white shrimp are a short-lived species that are vulnerable to cold water temperatures and unusually wet or dry summers, their numbers can fluctuate dramatically from year to year. However, they’re also prolific spawners – which means that the populations can quickly rebound even after a poor year or season. Despite the operational restrictions, market disruptions and uncertainties experienced by the U.S. commercial fishing industry this year due to the ongoing health crisis, Americans have demonstrated a clear demand for fresh local shrimp, and the apparent condition of the shrimp population in South Carolina's coastal waters holds great promise for a productive fishery to help feed that demand.
Hospitality and accommodations taxes are normally paid on the 20th of the month following the reporting month.
Rotary Club of Beaufort helps area food banks
The Rotary Club of Beaufort, the oldest of Beaufort’s four Rotary clubs, recently ran a food drive for the local food pantries in Beaufort and the surrounding area. It ran for a week in early May. Rotarians and other Beaufort residents donated $4,300 and approximately 20 bags of groceries. The food and the monetary donation was then passed to Beaufort’s Salvation Army, HELP of Beaufort, Sisters of St. Francis and the Penn Center Food Bank. Beaufort Rotarians thank all who contributed.

Melanoma — early detection Interesting Body Facts and treatment are critical
A
lthough it accounts for less than 5% of all skin cancer cases, melanoma is responsible for the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. This form of cancer starts in the melanocytes, cells deep in the epidermis, or in moles on the surface of the skin that produce pigment. Early detection and treatment are critical to prevent this cancer from spreading throughout the body. Melanoma has several distinguishing characteristics that experts call the ABCDEs. A mole or growth is considered suspicious if • It’s Asymmetrical, meaning that each half of the growth looks different from the other; • It’s Borders are irregular, ragged, or blurry; • It’s Color is unusual; • It’s Diameter exceeds 6 millimeters, about that of a pencil eraser; • It’s Evolved, enlarged, or changed in any way. If you have a mole (or
moles) with any of these characteristics, see your doctor for a thorough skin exam. Rates of melanoma have been rising for at least three decades. Your risk of developing melanoma is higher if you have • red or blond hair • green or blue eyes • fair skin • a history of being in the sun a lot, especially as a child • a mother, father, sister, or brother with melanoma. Features of freckles or moles that raise your risk of melanoma include • a new mole appearing after age 30 • a new mole at any age if it is in an area rarely exposed to the sun • change in an existing mole • one or more atypical moles—moles that look like a fried egg, or moles that are darker than others, or have an irregular border or shape • having 20 or more moles, each larger than 2
millimeters across • having five or more moles, each larger than 5 millimeters across
(about the width of a pencil eraser) • freckles caused by being in the sun.
The brain uses over a quarter of the oxygen used by the human body. Your heart beats around 100,000 times a day, 36,500,000 times a year and over a billion times if you live beyond 30. Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body. They are created inside the bone marrow of your bones. The color of humans skin is determined by the level of pigment melanin that the body produces. Those with small amounts of melanin have light skin while those with large amounts have dark skin. Adult lungs have a surface area of around 70 square meters (76.5 yards)!. Humans have a stage of sleep that features rapid eye movement (REM). REM sleep makes up around 25% of total sleep time and is often when you have your most vivid dreams. Most adults have 32 teeth. The smallest bone found in the human body is located in the middle ear. The staples (or stirrup) bone is only 2.8 millimeters long (about 1/10 of an inch). Your nose and ears contin-
ue growing throughout your entire life. Infants blink only once or twice a minute while adults average around 10. As well as having unique fingerprints, humans also have unique tongue prints. The left side of your body is controlled by the right side of your brain, while the right side of your body is controlled by the left side of your brain. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, they won’t help in fighting off a virus. It takes the body around 12 hours to completely digest after eating. Your sense of smell is around 10000 times more sensitive than your sense of taste. Muscle makes up around half of the total human body weight. Muscle tissue is also around 15% denser than fat tissue. It takes 17 muscles in the face for us to smile and 43 muscles to frown. If muscle strength is regarded as the ability to use force on something then the jaw muscle (masseter) is the strongest in the body.
The Benefits of Yoga are Helpful for All Ages
If you’re tired of inactivity during this “stay at home” situation and want to ease into an exercise option that is good for all ages, then consider yoga. Many people turn to yoga because they recognize the value of strength training but are uncomfortable or nervous about lifting weights. The various poses performed in yoga can increase muscle strength and tone, providing similar benefits to weightlifting without forcing women to spend time among men in the weight room. Yoga does more than improve strength and muscle tone. The following are a few additional benefits of yoga, some of which may surprise even the most devoted of practitioners. • Improved flexibility: Some people are intimidated by yoga because they feel their bodies simply aren’t flexible enough to perform many of the poses typical of the average yoga class. While beginners may find the poses difficult, they are designed to safely stretch muscles. Over time, like many physical activities, yoga poses become easier to perform as practitioners’ bodies become more accustomed to them. • Increased range of motion: Yoga can improve lubri-
cation in the joints, increasing one’s range of motion as a result. That makes it easier for some people to live with joint pain, which may even subside among practitioners who fully commit to yoga. • Improved posture: The stronger, more flexible body core that yoga often creates also contributes to better posture. • Reduced stress levels: Certain styles of yoga employ deep breathing techniques that force the mind to focus on breathing, and that focus has a calming effect, reducing stress as a result. Other yoga styles may employ meditative practices that aim to clear the mind of distractions that contribute to stress. • Heart health: People with a personal or family history of heart disease may be surprised to learn that yoga has been shown to have a positive effect on those dealing with heart disease. Yoga slows the rate at which the heart beats, which helps alleviate high blood pressure and helps those people with heart disease and lowers their risk of stroke. Yoga also has been linked to lower cholesterol and a healthier immune system. Though yoga might not have been popular when to-
day’s men and women over 50 were in their 20s and 30s, that does not mean such men and women cannot take advantage of the numerous physical and mental benefits yoga has to offer. While some men and women over 50 may feel their time to take up yoga has passed, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, yoga can pay numerous dividends for the over 50 crowd. • Yoga can help alleviate hypertension (high blood pressure). Studies have shown that yoga can reduce the top number, which is referred to as the systolic blood pressure. In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, researchers found that men and women who practiced yoga for six hours a week for 11 weeks reduced their systolic blood pressure by 33 points. The study’s authors feel that the slow, controlled breathing that’s essential to practicing yoga decreases nervous system activity, helping the body manage its blood pressure levels. • Yoga helps practitioners maintain healthy weights. While yoga may not help men and women shed weight as effectively as more vigorous activities, it can help them maintain healthy weights.
Many men and women over 50 find vigorous or strenuous physical activity too demanding and might not be able to perform such activities with the frequency necessary to prevent weight gain. But while yoga is physically demanding, those who practice yoga often find it takes a smaller toll on their bodies than more traditional strength training. Another way yoga can help to maintain a healthy weight is through its relation to stress. Yoga can help to relieve stress, and lower stress levels reduce the likelihood that men and women will overeat, which is a common response to elevated stress levels. • Yoga promotes strong bones. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which tissue loss leads to brittle and fragile bones. Aging is a significant risk factor for osteoporosis, and women are at even greater risk than men. The nature of yoga makes it an ideal activity to promote healthy bones. Because it is a weight-bearing exercise, yoga forces practitioners to hold the weight of their bodies up against gravity. This resistance to gravity puts mild stress on the bones, which respond by laying down new bone growth. But unlike other weight-bearing activities, such as jogging or
walking, yoga does not damage cartilage or put stress on the joints. While yoga is beneficial in many ways, it’s important that men and women not mistake yoga for medical treatment. Though yoga may be part of an individual’s treatment plan, it’s still necessary that men and women with medical conditions rely on their health care providers for treatment. For example, doctors may recommend yoga to individuals dealing with elevated stress levels, but doctors also may want their patients to take certain medications in order to lower those stress levels. Yoga on its own may be effective, but men and women should still seek professional medical treatment when dealing with health problems. It’s also important that men and women beginning a yoga regimen not take it lightly. Though the atmosphere in a typical yoga studio tends to be serene, yoga is a physically demanding discipline, and those unprepared to deal with such demands often find themselves suffering from injuries. Beginners should heed the following warnings when beginning a yoga regimen: • Work with a professional. No matter how long your neighbor insists he or she has

practiced yoga, it’s still best that you learn the discipline from a certified instructor. Your neighbor might know all of the poses, but an instructor with credentials can help men and women with preexisting medical conditions avoid poses that can exacerbate such conditions. Novices might not know that certain poses can increase injury risk for sufferers of osteoporosis, spinal problems and high or low blood pressure. When trying yoga for the first time, always work with a professional, making sure to discuss any preexisting medical conditions before your initial session. • Take things slowly. • Warm up before each session. • Dress appropriately. Flexibility is essential when practicing yoga, so make sure your clothing is not restrictive. • Stop if you feel any physical problems. Physical problems during yoga may be a byproduct of dehydration, so be sure to begin your session fully hydrated and remain so throughout your workout. www.nccih.nih.gov/health/ yoga-what-you-need-to-know www.mayoclinic.org/indepth/yoga/art-20044733 www.disabled-world.com/ Fitness - Nutrition/Exercising/Yoga

How Can You Keep Teenage Children Healthy During this Upcoming Summer?
A
s the official start of summer break approaches, the family and child life specialists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have developed a new resource geared specifically for teenagers to better understand the virus and how to stay healthy this summer. The new teen resource provides accurate, scientific and illustrative explanations in age-appropriate language about the virus, how it spreads, symptoms, protective measures for both physical and mental health/ self-care. The new teen resource
What hardships do our feet undergo throughout a lifetime?

We use feet for walking, running, climbing, driving, standing, and even for balance. Unlike
joins a suite of age-appropriate tools for parents and children of all ages from teens, pre-teens and younger children available in multiple languages (currently in English, Spanish, French and Arabic). The suite of tools was designed by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s child and family experts for utilization by parents and caregivers to help children better understand the current COVID-19 pandemic. (together.stjude.org) has an entire set of resources for parents, including information developed by the St. Jude experts on “how to talk to your children about coronavirus and COVID-19”
to tips and frequently asked questions children may ask about the virus. • General Resources: for general information on the coronavirus and children, St. Jude has developed a general resource page about the pandemic for parents, children and families to consult, which includes how to talk to children, music therapy and educational resources. • Teen Resources: for teenage children, St. Jude has developed illustrative explainers – “the story on the coronavirus” about the virus, how it spreads, its
symptoms, how to protect ourselves, and what a pandemic is? • Young Children: for younger children, St. Jude has developed a suite to tools intended to help educate children about the pandemic itself and the impact it is having on our daily lives. The Learn About the Coronavirus Coloring Book developed for children ages 5-9 (currently being translated into nine additional languages), as well as the Learn About the Coronavirus Activity Book geared more toward “tweens” ages 10-13 more or less.
Considering Summer Camps?
As the school year comes to a close and the summer months approach, social distancing guidelines will force kids to miss out on their yearly rite of passage - summer camp. What once was a time to meet new friends and learn new skills (and for parents to finally catch a break!) is now a time of uncertainty leaving parents to decide which camps and activities provide a safe and engaging environment for their children. It’s OK to be cautious - If you believe your child’s camp may be opening too early, trust your gut! • Make sure your child’s summer camp has clear communication - This is key to reopening. • Ask the right questions - Includes asking if your child needs to bring his/her own protective gear, how many children will be attending, what measures will be done to ensure social distancing, your rights to cancel/get refunded if you’re uncomfortable, etc. • Ask if your child’s camp offers virtual options - Feel uncomfortable sending your child to camp? Find out if your child’s camp offers virtual activities to help him/her feel like they’re a part of the experience without physically being there. Almost ALL (about 99.7%) of the dance studios Clint works with for example, now offer virtual dance classes, whether live-streamed or pre-recorded. Chances are, your child’s camp will offer something similar.
BEST FEET FORWARD . . .
a tire change on a car, we are unable to change the feet on our bodies. When they become worn and torn, it is imperative to take notice of any ongoing foot pain, discomfort, or abnormality. What are common signs of feet who need care? Foot fungus, blisters, plantar warts, corns, bunions, ingrown toe nails, cracked
skin, even minor cuts are all possible problems that can arise when foot health is overlooked and not monitored on a consistent basis. If there are any unknown causes of bleeding, skin discoloration, or numbness along with loss of feeling this should be communicated with your health professionals as there could be more serious undiagnosed
conditions such as diabetes. These issues can vary in severity levels depending on when they are addressed, however, attack any foot related concerns at the earliest warning signs. Seek consultation from general health professionals first, and then if needed, generalists can recommend foot care specialists such as podiatrists, chiroprac-
tors, endocrinologists, or even masseurs/masseuses. Simple solutions for sustaining healthy feet are daily preventative routines. Recommendations are as follows: • Inspect your feet daily • Keep feet washed and clean thoroughly between toes and underside • Dry feet after shower as
fungus and other bacteria thrive in moist conditions • Trim overgrown nails and confirm no signs of ingrown toenails. • Wear proper footwear socks and shoes. In relation to the environment, foot size, proper walking mechanics, and even athletic related activities.
Six Upfront Tips for Handing a Weather Emergency It’s the start of a new hurricane season. Natural disasters are not simply newsmakers from other parts of the world. The Lowcountry faces its share of wicked weather — from hurricanes to tornadoes to flash floods. Homeowner readiness can make the difference between an inconvenience or a major disruption when wicked weather blows through. This means having an emergency plan in place. Many homeowners operate under the "it won't happen to me" philosophy regarding weather-related inconveniences. However, Mother Nature can strike at any time and leave damage in her wake. Plus, it doesn't take an epic weather event to wreak havoc. You see this information every year, but do you take heed? As a reminder and to pro-
vide some peace of mind in a weather emergency, consider these tips: 1. Gather the troops: Have the family sit down and go over a readiness plan. This way, should an emergency occur, all members of the household will know where to go and what to do to be safe. 2. Stockpile supplies: Store non-perishable items that can be consumed relatively easily. Canned fruits, soups, bottled water, granola bars and the like are good items to keep on hand for a rainy day. Remember to have a manual can opener at the ready. Also, purchase a few coolers to which you can transfer perishable foods should the power go out.
3. Alternative power: Keep plenty of battery-powered electronics around. This includes a radio, flashlights and toys for the kids. Book lights or LED lights generally are safer than candles for providing illumination in the event of a power outage. Glow sticks can make great night lights for children. Once activated, glow sticks can last up to 12 hours. 4. Enjoy fresh water: Thousands of homes across the country are supplied by well water. When the power goes out, the water pumps responsible for delivering water to the house often fail. That results in no water from the faucets, appliances and even the toilet. Consider

investing in a modern hand pump, such as one from Bison Pumps, to keep water at hand and accessible at any time. When the power fails, just attach a garden hose between the pump and your outdoor faucet, and you can pump water back into your domestic system to flush toilets and run tap water. Visit www. bisonpumps.com or call 800-339-2601 to learn more. 5. Keep cooking: You can use the backyard grill to heat foods and even boil water for coffee or sterilization. 6. Pack a "Go" bag: Sometimes weather is just too strong to stay put. Your area officials may issue a mandatory evacuation notice. Keep a bag handy that is prepped with a change of clothes, medications, insurance papers, first-aid kit, money and other essentials

Investing and Planning During Volatile Markets
By Fred Gaskin
I
n our March column we discussed how to begin framing your retirement income expectations. We emphasized the need to remain flexible to changing market conditions, and adjusting your portfolios based on the market environment and changing personal views. The markets have just concluded one of the most remarkable quarters for volatility, price movements, and uncertainty in memory. As a result, most investors professionals and individuals alike - are trying to understand what, if anything, they should be doing with their portfolios. Hint, it’s not that complicated! For many investors, a period of ongoing market volatility brings the ritual of tweaking their financial plans, confirming their portfolios reflect their goals and objectives, and most importantly, evaluating their tolerance for risk. Engaged investors are
probably already adjusting their portfolios and income expectations for the short and intermediate term in our current environment. For other investors, behaviors and responses are going to vary. While every investor is different, periods of volatility may/can be a wake-up call to make sure your portfolio is adequately diversified based on your goals and risk tolerance. Investors who are focused on long-term goals shouldn’t let short-term movement dominate their decisions, while investors who are nearing or in retirement may need to add defensive assets, such as cash or U.S. Treasury securities, for stability. It’s important to stay true to your financial plan and make decisions based on your goals and timetable, regardless of market volatility. Navigating through rocky markets can be tough, but following practiced and proven investing principles might help you stay the
course. Here are a few to consider: 1. Diversify your portfolio Portfolios that are highly concentrated in just a few securities can be very risky. Having money spread across different asset classes (or types of investments such as stocks, bonds and cash equivalents) is important because each can respond to the market differently. It’s not always the case, but when one is up, the others can be down. Deciding on the right mix can help cushion the blow during volatile markets. Here are a few quick questions to ask yourself: • Does your portfolio’s success depend too heavily on the performance of any single investment? • Are your holdings especially concentrated on a single industry, sector or country?
• Are you less diversified than you think because different funds in your portfolio hold many of the same securities? 2. Determine your risk profile Investing involves taking risks, and you have to be honest about how much risk you’re willing to take with your money. Determining your risk tolerance informs how you should diversify your investment portfolio between stocks, bonds and cash equivalents. Higher potential rewards generally come from higher risks. Start with some simple questions: • Do you need your portfolio to generate income now or in the near future? • Can you tolerate fluctuations in the value of your investments, financially and emotionally?
3. Take the long view In times of dramatic market volatility, each fluctuation may seem disastrous. However, emotional reactions to short-term market conditions can put you at risk for further financial loss. Markets typically go up and down, and even bear markets historically have been relatively short. According to the Schwab Center for Financial Research, the longest bear market was a little less than three years (915 days), and it was followed by a nearly fiveyear bull run. Timing the market’s ups and downs is nearly impossible – instead, focus on staying diversified, know your risk tolerance and stick to your plan during tough times. For long-term investors, which are most of us, the strategy should be time in the market rather than timing the market. Remember to use periods

Kwajalean Pringle’s younger son, Nick, stood out Sunday in the crowd in front of the old Sgt. White’s Diner building. A basketball star at Whale Branch, Nick Pringle is on his way to Wofford to play basketball and get his education at the small Spartanburg college. Like his mother, Nick Pringle said he was tired of black men dying over and over. But he was optimistic. “We’re coming together as a community. Look at all these faces,” Nick Pringle said. “We’re just trying to bring everybody together. I’m not promising it will help. But we’re doing something positive.”

It’s not just black folks. Everybody is out here.” There were people – black, white and brown – standing -and sitting too – and waving and holding signs and pumping fists and yelling support. There was a stockpile of bottled water and snacks and posterboard and markers, all donated. And the honking horns. Man, the honking horns. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling was there Sunday afternoon and had been most of the day. City Councilman Stephen Murray brought his whole family. While the attitude among the crowd was almost jovial, have no doubt it was serious. “We’re tired. We’re tired of this,” Wright said. “We’re out here, though, trying to be heard and bring about some change.” When asked if he felt the results had been good, Garvin referred to the violence and looting going on in some other places. “I think it’s been positive. I mean, you don’t see nothing broken, do you?” Garvin asked. “You don’t see nothing burning. Ain’t nothing on fire. It’s been positive. I can’t say it stays that way. But we’re not looking for it to go the other way, either.” It’s an old story, really No matter the exact reason why or one’s opinion on the subject, it should be clear by now that police killing black men – and women – is a

They weren’t there for crowd control, though. Instead, in a “we’re all in this together” moment, they grilled for the protesters. It might have been easier to doubt Garvin’s words on Sunday, but after Monday’s turnout, it seems like the crowd might be in it for the long haul. “We going to be out here. Tomorrow, the next day. Next weekend. As long as it takes to get some sort of change. Oh, we’re going to be out here,” Garvin said. “They’re going to get tired of seeing us.

BC’s Hancock earns SCDNR scholarship
Senior surprised with scholarship, gift donations in vehicle parade at school
By Mindy Lucas A Battery Creek High School senior was surprised with a scholarship, gifts and school supplies in a vehicle parade thrown by officers with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources on Monday, June 1. Tyler Hancock, 18, received a $500 scholarship as part of the department’s “Take One Make One” hunting education program’s essay contest.
An aspiring game warden, Hancock was also “adopted” by officers with the department’s Beaufort Jasper and Colleton County units as part of a Lowcountry program started for graduates called “Adopt a Senior.” In a vehicle parade held at the school on Monday, the officers presented items purchased from Hancock’s wish list including a laptop, backpack, books for college, a mini
fridge, clothes and gift cards. In addition to the scholarship and gifts, Hancock was also presented with a lifetime combination hunting and fishing license, valued at $500 and funded through the Harry Hampton Wildlife Fund. Hancock plans to attend Horry Georgetown Technical College in the fall where he will major in Forestry and Wildlife Management. He served as president of the
school’s Future Farmer’s of America program and as a major in its ROTC program. Battery Creek High School Principal Chad Cox said Hancock was a passionate student who was involved in a lot of activities. “Tyler is a great kid,” Cox said. “He has overcome a lot of obstacles and this is something he’ll remember for the rest of his life. All of us here are super proud of him.”

SPORTS
Owens continues to exceed expectations, aims for NBA By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com Opportunities in life don’t come around very often. When Beaufort High alumnus Ryle Owens was given a chance to try to keep his hoops dreams going, he made the most of it. Now, he’s eying the NBA Draft. Most people assume that the league’s prospects were all born to be superstars of their high school teams. That was not the case with Owens. As a Beaufort High Eagle, he never had that golden spotlight. Instead, he was a role player and a shooting specialist. His coach would draw up specific plays in order for him to take the shot, but there was no evidence that he would become enough of a complete player to take his career forward. Instead, he often sat on the bench taking notes from his teammates and coaches. But the motivation and basketball knowledge he picked up during this time was immense. “High school ball taught me to wait my turn, stay humble, and put in work,” Owens said. “Over the course of my four years I didn’t play much until my senior year, so I was motivated and continued to work
hard to be the best player possible on the court.” Ryle Owens was always known as a good outside shooter, but he took the rest of his game to the next level after working with coach Nick Field and landing at Young Harris College. Not a single college gave Owens an offer coming out of high school. But that wasn’t enough to destroy his hoop dreams. One of his former coaches gave him a contact at USC Salkehatchie. It was the only basketball door left. He spent two years at the junior college, where he again was not a staple of the starting lineup. Even as a sophomore he started just seven games. But in the time he was given, he averaged nearly eight points and gave some notice that he wasn’t wanting this basketball ride to end. Even the best could not get to their level alone. That’s where Beaufort Academy athletic director Nick Field came in. The two first met when Owens was doing summer workouts at Beaufort High with a couple other alumni. Field, then an assistant basketball
coach at BHS, was beyond impressed with Owens’ work ethic, which grew his basketball talent. “So we’re doing this workout and right away I noticed that he’s got incredible ball-handling,” Field recalls. “It’s been a lot of fun, because when you get to work with Ryle, it takes you back to when you were a fan as a kid. He can do things that are really fun to watch. He can jump out of the gym, he’s got a great shot, and he’s very quick. He’s working hard and doing everything he can in these drills that I’m putting on. Right away I noticed that Ryle’s the type of kid that if he gets an opportunity, he’s going to make the most of it. Everything that’s been presented before him he’s ran away with.” But it was Owens who committed even more to learning from Field through his many brutal workouts on the court. “I never knew you had to work so hard before I started working with Coach Field,” Owens said. “These were some of the most difficult workouts that I had ever done. It definitely made me grow as a player and a person, but seeing the workouts that he puts you
through and seeing how next level it was really translated to the court.” After it again looked like his basketball dreams were finished after junior college, Owens was given an opportunity at Young Harris College in the Georgia mountains. He was offered a spot by coach Jeremy Currier, who spent eleven seasons at Pfeiffer University before joining the Mountain Lions. He preaches a fastpaced style of play emphasizing 3-pointers on offense and active hands leading to steals on defense. Owens’ shooting prowess proved to be an ideal fit for Currier’s offense. In his senior season, he sank 74 threes. “Earlier, I was only known as a shooter, so being able to carry that over and add in other parts of my game definitely helped a lot,” Owens said. “At Young Harris we had to make 300 threes some days before we could practice with the rest of the team. On top of that, I’m shooting on my own time. So carrying that 3-point shot has opened up so much more to my game.” In the meantime, Owens worked on other parts of his

Through his work ethic and the belief of his two coaches, Owens has climbed the ranks all the way from a high school role player to an NBA prospect in 2020. And now, some people are starting to know his name. “I’m not sure how it happened, but things have just been blowing up for me,” Owens said. “At first while playing at Young Harris I was getting contacted by overseas agents. I’ve always been open to playing overseas, but sometimes people just settle for that option. I wanted to push myself further. Coach Field has been working on my behalf and these NBA agents have taken a chance on me, and when I was presented with the opportunity, it was a clear-cut decision.” Now, with college basketball
behind him, Owens is eyeing a dream that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago — a real chance to compete on the biggest stage of them all. He signed with agents Aaron G. Adams and Steven Kraser earlier this month and plans to enter the NBA Draft set for June 25. “The NBA was a childhood dream for me, and I never gave up on it,” Owens said. “God has been working things out for me. Coach Field and Coach Currier have been such key people in my life, and they’ve not given up on me.” Those two were the sparks that cultivated a talented, motivated, and determined man. No matter how much the odds are against him, this kid will get it done. If he’s given even the smallest chance for a spot in the league, watch out. Ryle Owens isn’t done working yet.
SCDNR sets new limits for spadefish, tripletail From staff reports Limits to help protect two popular South Carolina fish species were recently added to South Carolina’s fish and game laws. Legislators passed catch and minimum size limits for both Atlantic spadefish and Atlantic tripletail, two coastal fish that previously lacked some protections. Under the new laws, anglers may keep 10 spadefish per person per day (or 30 per boat) and may only keep fish at least 14 inches in total length. The creel limit for spadefish was previously 20 fish per person per day, with
Atlantic tripletail now have a minimum size limit of 18 inches in South Carolina, matching neighboring states. Photo by Captain Jake Parker, Hilton Head.
no minimum size limit. Anglers may keep three tripletail per person per day (or nine per boat), provided those fish are at least 18 inches in total length. No previous limits existed for tripletail in South Carolina waters. Atlantic spadefish are beautiful, black-barred fish that often school in large groups around reefs. Some anglers take a specialized interest in fishing for spadefish, which are surprisingly strong fighters when hooked. Because of their schooling behavior and preference for artificial reefs, biologists and anglers have expressed con-
cerns that they may easily be overfished from an area. At 14 inches, the new minimum size limit, spadefish tend to be 3-4 years old and part of the mature spawning population. Atlantic tripletail are somewhat uncommon saltwater fish that resemble large bream and are known for an unusual habit of floating on their side near the water’s surface. Their mottled coloring provides excellent camouflage as they swim around jetties, reefs, pilings and other structures in search of small fish and crabs. Interest in the tripletail fishery has grown significant-
ly over the last decade, and South Carolina was the last state within the Atlantic tripletail’s range to enact limits on its harvest. Tripletail grow quickly – at 18 inches, a female tripletail is typically just over a year old. Originally introduced in the S.C. Senate by Senator Chip Campsen in 2019, the tripletail and spadefish bills received unanimous approval in the Senate and were passed overwhelmingly by the House of Representatives earlier this year. The new limits took effect upon Acts 118 and 119 being signed by Governor Henry McMaster on March 24.

Louis Pasteur: Hero or villain
n the mid-19th century, French physician Louis Pasteur was instrumental in proving the germ theory of diseases. He developed immunizations against virulent deadly diseases, first in domestic animals, e.g. anthrax in sheep, and later, vaccination against one of the world’s most deadly diseases, smallpox. Over the past two centuries, thanks to laborious efforts of legions of scientists, researchers and physicians, the science of immunology was created, where from virtually all childhood diseases have been almost eradicated. Before Pasteur, we lived in a cruel world without immunization, except by accident — infection followed by survival for some lucky few. The Black Death/Plague, history’s most fatal pandemic, resulted in 75-200 MILLION deaths, peaking in Europe (1347-1351), where perhaps one-third of the entire population perished. Likewise, in the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine and without a
DAVID TAUB
coordinated “master plan” of effective responses, millions may yet perish before widespread “herd immunity” is established. In the 1940s and 1950s poliomyelitis, so-called “infantile paralysis,” killed or crippled many thousands of Americans, both children and young adults, including the not-so-young Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through the diligent persistence of many unsung heroes, an effective vaccine was developed, first by Dr. Jonas Salk; somewhat later, Dr. Albert Sabin developed a more effective oral vaccine. I can remember being in middle school (in Texas we called it Junior High) in the mid-1950s. We lined up outside our classrooms, while
medical personnel put a cube of sugar with a purple dot of the Sabin vaccine on it into our mouths. With massive nationwide immunizations, virtually overnight the scourge of polio was eliminated in North America. A half-century later, the world is free of polio thanks to colossal immunizations, except for three countries — Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Why? Because religious fanatics (the Taliban) murder medical heroes trying to give life-saving vaccinations. It takes years and billions of dollars to develop any drug or vaccine in the U.S. before they can be released to the public. These pharmaceuticals must be proven, first and foremost, to be completely safe (Phase One testing), and next, effective (Phases Two and Three testing). That is why U.S. government-approved vaccines are SAFE and they work. Be that as it may, among a small segment of conspiracy believers (a tribe often called
anti-vaxxers) we are seeing a strange phenomenon of rejecting life-saving vaccinations. Tribal adults eschew vaccinating their children, believing, against all scientific evidence to the contrary, that vaccinations are harmful. These conspiracy addicts believe vaccination is a worldwide treachery produced by rapacious big Pharma and corrupt doctors. It is unclear if this strange obsession is a new variant of DUMB-20 virus; more research must be conducted — perhaps NIH will fund me? Indeed, some say the anti-vaxxer tribe of selfstyled “patriots” is already a menace. They should ask the Pakistan or Afghanistan Taliban about that. Before 2012, thousands of east Indians were infected with polio. Today, many can be seen crawling on the streets of India begging for alms. They too can speak to the benefits of vaccinations. This is our national reality
today: A POTUS who is MIA; a battle between the White House and the CDC, where the former calls the latter “the Enemy;” Instead of hand-washing, we get finger pointing: “you are at fault;” “no, you’re to blame;” “no, everyone is, except me” (we know who the “royal me” is). There is no organized unified plan of action to combat COVID-19; unemployment is staggeringly high and climbing; fools armed with battlefield weapons invade state capitals screaming for Liberty. A major political party appears to have been infected by DUMB-20, resulting in a modern-day reincarnation of the 19th Century “Know Nothing Party,” characterized by a rotting swamp of prejudice and irrationality, following like blind sheep led to slaughter behind a pathological narcissist, conspiracy-monger currently infecting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. By the time you read this, more than 100,000 of our
kinsmen will have perished, with more deaths every day. Reflect on that ignominious statistic for a moment: Imagine two professional football stadiums chock-full of fans enjoying their NFL game — at half-time all are gone BAM, GONE – in the blink of an eye! Why? Because our cup overflows with copious amounts of failed leadership. We are at war, but not with COVID-19. Rather, we are engaged in an un-civil war with ourselves, a country greatly and unnecessarily divided. Now, not wearing a mask, proven to protect against infection, has become the banner characterizing a phony culture war. Come Nov. 3, we will learn if sanity will prevail, or if an ugly parallel universe will capture our minds and souls for another four years. What universe then shall we inhabit? The outcome is up to you. David M. Taub was Mayor of Beaufort from 1990 through 1999, and served as a Beaufort County Magistrate Judge from 2010 to 2015.

Testing often loathed but sometimes essential
I
t is Sunday morning and I’ve just finished my brother-in-law’s memoir. John Littlewood is married to my wife’s sister, Kathy. They live in Umbria. John is an artist owning a small gallery in Umbertide (near Perugia). We visit this couple every two or three years. John grew up in post World War II Britain in very modest circumstances. His father was a caretaker for a Wolverhampton bank. His mother was the custodian for that same bank and also made and served tea for the bankers. John had trouble concentrating; feared math; and failed what was then called the 11-plus examination. In 1945 the United Kingdom had two parallel educational systems — schools funded by taxpayers and private, fee-funded schools. The former were coeducational day schools; the latter were single-sex boarding schools
SCOTT GRABER
known, strangely, as “Public Schools.” The choice between these two was largely based on parental wealth. Between the ages of 5 and 11 there was a single educational stream in the taxpayer funded schools. And when one turned 11 there was a national exam called the “11plus test.” If one passed, one went to what were called “grammar schools” and then on to college. If one failed one went into the “Secondary Modern” stream where it was extremely difficult to get into a college. The 11-plus exam became a white collar/blue collar divide
that determined whether you would earn your living with your hands, or with your head. The results were based entirely on the results of an IQ test, not requiring the regurgitation of acquired knowledge and with little if any relationship to the curriculum. Students at the private, fee-funded schools were not required to take the 11-plus exam. They had their own “Common Entrance Exam” that determined if they were going to the “Public School” of their parent’s choice. John failed the 11-plus exam and his formal education came to an end three years later. His father, a veteran who had fought at Gallipoli and the Somme, urged John to take up carpentry. John’s mother, Phyllis, disagreed. I tell this story because the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) in the US, does the same winnowing-out once done by the 11-plus in Britain.
(The 11-plus was abandoned in 2008.) It is true that the SAT is usually taken at 18, and for the disappointed, there are community colleges, but a bad outcome on the SAT/ACT often ends hope of a degree-backed career. That may be changing. The SAT is being dropped by many colleges — 51 at last count. The reason given is that the test is not a reliable “predictor of success” in college. One also knows that kids can be expensively tutored, take it several times, and often improve their scores by more than 100 points. But if the SAT goes away that leaves a student’s GPA — his or her “grades” — as the primary “predictor of success.” And this puts high schools, high school teachers in particular, in the role of deciding who will go to Harvard and who will not. “Dropping a standard test
requirement necessarily means that admissions committees must rely more heavily on high school grades. But if grades become the metric by which applicants are judged, high schools will have an incentive to hand out A’s like Halloween candy. Grade inflation of this sort could destroy high school GPA’s usefulness as an indicator of student aptitude,” says Forbes magazine. The Forbes writer goes on to say that “even if admissions committees believe grades are the best measure, SAT scores can still be useful as a check against grade inflation.” Phyllis Littlewood had watched John draw, knew he was gifted, and helped him get a job in a commercial art studio in Wolverhampton where he swept the floors, washed the windows and caught rats. And while he was trapping rats he was given the oppor-
tunity to lay out advertising and compose pages of copy. This inauspicious beginning led to design work for Goodyear Tire; then to night classes at Wolverhampton College of Art; and work at a small ad agency in London. After that he was off to Batton, Barton, Durstine and Osborne in London, then to Milan (where he ran BBDO-Milan) and finally to the bright lights of New York City, where he his worked on the Dupont, Pepsi-Cola and Pan Am accounts. Eventually John would become President of NWAyer (West Coast) handling the Toshiba and Yamaha accounts. Testing is often loathed, or feared, but is sometimes essential. But we do love it when someone overcomes a bad day when one was 11. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal. Email Scott at cscottgraber@gmail.com.
The best Ego Wall I ever saw
Y
ears ago, when I was working in corporate America, everyone on my floor had an office with their own “Ego Wall”. This was the wall covered with pictures, plaques, and diplomas displaying all the employee’s accomplishments. The wall was meant to impress clients and other associates. We had our college degrees framed in cherry to match the cherry furniture. There were plaques and awards from local community organizations and of course, pictures with local dignitaries.
LEE SCOTT
Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
Some people had pictures with the local mayor or even the governor. There would also be plaques for the company’s prestigious “President’s club” which we all aspired. I was thinking of those ego
walls when I was shown into the office of a local professional who my husband and I were considering using. We had been led into his office and told he would be in shortly. The assistant was getting us some coffee while we waited. As I sat there looking at his ego wall, it looked totally different from any I had seen before. I stood up to study it. The first thing I noticed was a cute picture dated 1966. It was obviously the office’s occupant and he looked to be about a year old and sporting a Beatle’s haircut. He was a cute pudgy

thing with a big smile. Then there were charcoal drawings of a couple who looked like his parents, along with assorted photos with his siblings and then an engagement picture of him and his wife. Behind various objects there were Bob Dylan and Beatle album covers and Star Wars figures in their original packaging. He also had symbols of his faith and playbills of musicals from his church. Sitting next to a soccer team picture there were two mugs – one said, “Greatest Grandpa” and the other said “Amazing Dad.”
The last two photographs next to each other were the most moving. There was a picture of him with his wife standing with a young boy. It was labeled “Adoption Day in the Philippines – 2004.” Next to that was a photo of the same child, now a young man in a U.S. Air Force uniform. What a profound difference they had made in that boy’s life. I was mesmerized by his “ego wall” and the things he treasured. When he came into his office and apologized for the delay, we replied “No problem.”
Then he sat at his desk and said, “Well, now, let me tell you a little bit about myself, the firm and how I can help you.” “Don’t bother.” I said. I looked at his ego wall and said, “Your whole life story is right there. That is good enough for us.” We hired him. 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 lives on St. Helena Island and enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
