City Council meeting erupts in discord Conflict arises after debate on HBF seat tabled
P
eople of all ages and all walks of life crammed into the Beaufort National Cemetery on Saturday for the annual Wreaths Across America event, placing 21,305 wreaths on headstones. Some cried at the graves of loved ones. Others saluted their fallen brothers-in-arms. Still others were there because, according to Medal of Honor recipient and retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. James Livingston, it was the right thing to do. “We are a special country be-
By Mindy Lucas In a dramatic and unexpected move at its most recent meeting, Beaufort’s City Council voted to table the issue of removing a local historic preservation group’s seat from the city’s review board causing one city councilman to walk out. The vote to table the issue was held at the council’s Tuesday, Dec. 10 meeting, and comes just two weeks after members voted 3 to 2, on first reading, to pass a measure which would remove Historic Beaufort Foundation’s (HBF) seat on the city’s five-member Historic District Review Board. HBF has held a designated seat on the board for nearly 50 years. Councilman Mike McFee, who introduced the motion, told those in attendance that he and other council members had heard their concerns. “We don’t disagree with

cause we are a special people”, Livingston said. “We have people willing to go to war in other countries for other people. People willing to sacrifice and give it all for someone else. We truly are a special country.” Livingston added that the late President Ronald Reagan said freedom is only one generation from being lost. “If we fail to remember this duty to others, it’s a very short path to being lost.” Livingston was formerly the Chief of Staff during the early 1980s at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island.

5 Questions with Chris Inglese – Beaufort County’s New Deputy Administrator
Beaufort County’s New Deputy Administrator, Chris Inglese. Photo by Bob Sofaly.
By Mindy Lucas Before Chris Inglese came to work for Beaufort County in 2017, he worked as an attorney in private practice in Charleston. He also served as a planner for the City of Charleston for nine years. While working as a planner, he discovered a real passion for the nuts and bolts of local government – not something you’ll hear most
people say, but for Inglese (pronounced In-GLAY-see) it was a real “aha” moment, he said. “I came to the conclusion that local government was where it’s at, because it’s a microcosm of our constitutional democracy. This is where the rubber meets the road, where the elected officials interact with their constituents in the grocery
store, in the coffee shop, at church or walking down the street,” he said. “To me is just such a meaningful place to be.” The Island News sat down with Inglese, who was recently promoted to Deputy County Administrator, to learn more about this role. The Island News: Can you give readers an idea of what the Deputy County Admin-
istrator does and perhaps take us through a typical day, if there is such a thing as a typical day? Inglese: There’s no “typical” day, except that Mondays are typically long and intense with either committee or council meetings. The remainder of the week involves meetings, phones

City completes piling repairs at Waterfront Park Since last August, divers from Cape Romain Contractors have descended from a barge anchored at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park to shore up 33 pilings under the park that were in a state of disrepair. The project, under the director of Matt St. Clair, Director of Public Projects & Facilities for the City of Beaufort, is expected to conclude this week. The divers first power-washed each 12-inch pre-stressed concrete pile. Fiberglass jackets were used to encase each piling. An epoxy, which was mixed on the barge, was pumped through a hose that the divers then used to create a seal between the jacket and the piling. The waterfront park is supported by more than 500 pilings. The last repair project was in 2018, when 14 were repaired, St. Clair said. The waterfront project cost $590,000, and was funded primarily through a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. Other current Public Works projects in the City of Beaufort: • Renovation of The Arsenal. The upper and lower roofs are being replaced on this historic building, which dates from 1798 and now houses the Beaufort History Museum. The work also includes restoring windows and renovating restrooms. Work on the roofs is expected to be completed this week. • Greenlawn Drive streetscape. The street has been widened; an underground duct bank now houses all utilities. Sidewalks, lighting, and street parking have been added. The project is expected to be completed in late winter.

Beaufort man convicted of murder in wife’s death A Beaufort man has been convicted of murder in connection with the 2017 strangulation death of his wife. Dale Eugene King, 55, was found guilty Wednesday, Dec. 11 of murdering Veronica King, who was 51 when she was killed May 15, 2017. After the General Sessions Court jury of seven women and five men delivered their verdict, Dale King was sentenced to 35 years in prison. “Veronica King’s death is both tragic and cautionary,” said Hunter Swanson, who prosecuted the case and leads the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office Special Victims Unit. “There was a history of alcohol and physical abuse in this relationship, and it turned deadly. “Dale King killed his wife with his bare hands, and Veronica died
nude and afraid, in her most vulnerable state.” Beaufort Police were first called to the motel on Boundary Street Dale where the Kings King lived and worked in March 2017, after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance from a relative. Dale King denied any dispute between he and his wife, however, authorities noticed marks on Veronica King’s face. A family member who was visiting the couple reported that the Kings had been drinking alcohol and arguing much of the day. The family member also said that, while she was in the bathroom of the Kings’ room, she heard a physical altercation between them. Officers photographed Veron-
ica King’s injuries and charged Dale King with third-degree domestic violence. He was out on bond when authorities were again called to their motel room May 15, 2017. That morning, Dale King claimed he awoke to find his wife dead on their couch. He initially denied harming his wife, but later admitted he struck her. A medical examiner at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston determined Veronica King suffered blunt-force trauma on her head, an abrasion near her tailbone and was strangled to death. Swanson called 11 witnesses during the two-day trial, including the medical examiner and Beaufort Police Department officers. Circuit Court Judge Edgar Dickson handed down the sentence.
Campsen prefiles legislation to prohibit offshore drilling State Senator Chip Campsen, a Republican who represents the coastal areas of Beaufort County, pre-filed a bill Dec. 11 that prohibits the issuance of state and local permits for infrastructure and other activities related to offshore drilling. Twenty-eight of 46 senators joined Senator Campsen as co-sponsors of his bill. Earlier this year, Campsen successfully authored and passed the only state or federal law protecting South Carolina’s coast from offshore drilling as a proviso in the 2019-2020 state budget. His
pre-filed bill would make the ban permanent. A maritime industry executive, Campsen said in a release, "Offshore drilling would inevitably result in massive industrialization of our coastline. It would damage our coast’s rich natural, historic, cultural and economic resources. I am pleased twenty-eight Senate colleagues joined me in a bipartisan effort to protect South Carolina’s coast from offshore drilling.“ Campsen introduced his anti-drilling budget proviso on April 17, 2019. It passed the Senate by a resounding vote of 40 to 4. The
House concurred, and Governor McMaster signed it into law. The bill Senator Campsen and 28 of his colleagues pre-filed for the 2020 legislative year would make the drilling ban permanent law. Campsen represents approximately one-half of South Carolina’s coast. His district includes coastal areas in Charleston, Colleton, and Beaufort Counties. In addition to serving as the chairman of the Senate Fish, Game and Forestry Committee, he serves on the Agriculture and Natural Resources, Judiciary, Legislative Oversight, Rules, and Transportation Committees.

Firefighters and EMS personnel from the Shell Point fire station arrived in minutes and assisted two injured occupants who appeared to have only minor injuries. Burton fire crews remained on scene for over an hour while the truck was turned upright and towed away, ensuring any leaking fluids were contained, and provided safety for those working to lift the truck.

A tradition grows in Port Royal By Bob Sofaly Like any good idea, the annual Port Royal Golf Cart Parade keeps getting bigger and bigger. This year there were 30 entries. Everything from simple strands of lights to the full-blown Polar Express and the heavily decorated entry from the Austin family of Port Royal with the Grinch sneaking up from behind, getting ready to steal Christmas.
Beaufort’s only Southern Scooters Toy Run brings in big Christmas haul LUXURY community Lots of flashing lights powered by a small generator kept this golf cart entry buzzing along during the annual Port Royal Golf Cart Parade on Saturday in Port Royal.

By Bob Sofaly More than 300 motorcycles and a few classic hot rods made their way Sunday to the Salvation Army headquarters during the 39th annual Southern Scooters Toy Run. The bikers – some belonging to clubs and others just individual riders – collected thousands of dollars and hundreds of new, unwrapped toys. The toys will be distributed to those children who need it most this Christmas.
The Grinch never misses an opportunity to steal Christmas.

City installs new audio/video equipment, to post audio minutes of public meetings
By Mindy Lucas The City of Beaufort has installed new audio/ video equipment in its council chambers, planning conference room and municipal court.
The new equipment includes cameras, microphones and recording equipment, which will allow city staff to post audio minutes of its public meetings on its web-
site, according to a news release issued by the city. The city began to plan for the new equipment over the summer, when its 9-year-old system in its municipal court

The range of issues is extraordinary even within the same day – everything from a personnel issue in the morning, to a meeting with planners reviewing the next big project, or discussing economic development proposals, to responding to a dead possum in a magistrate judge’s office and other facilities issues. The range of issues is what keeps every day dynamic and exciting. TIN: Can you explain how the county’s administrator and deputy administrator work with members of Beaufort County Council? Inglese: The deputy administrator’s primary role is focused on operations. Therefore, I work closely with the assistant administrators

City Council work sessions and regular sessions can also be viewed live on Facebook or after meetings. The city plans to add the meetings to its YouTube page as well.
The panel will consist of three members from HBF along with council members McFee and Cromer, and Beaufort’s City Manager Bill Prokop. The group is to issue a report within 60-days that would serve as a “talking piece” for a public work session, the mayor said. Though it was made somewhat moot by the decision to table, Jenkins urged the council to approve HBF’s nominee for a seat on the review board. The board is supposed to have five members and has not had five members in the past five months, she said. “That is much too long and not in the best interest, short or long-term, for the city,” she said. At the conclusion of the meeting, the mayor said he felt he should apologize to the public for Murray’s departure.
“It disappoints me greatly to see a member walk out of a meeting when the public has come to a meeting,” Keyserling said. “We can all have our differences or we can live with our differences, but I find that kind of behavior not very becoming of council. And in 11 years it’s the first time anything like that has happened.” Other Business In other business, council also moved to strike language from the Beaufort Development Code which would prevent building widths from exceeding 160 feet along street frontage or any portion of a building from exceeding 160 feet in any direction. The ordinance passed 3 to 1, with Councilman Cromer voting against. City Council is on holiday break and will not meet again until Jan. 14.
is that I have a chosen a vocation where I can gain the gratification of serving this community, day in and day out. Instilling a sense of appreciation and love for public service into the culture of Beaufort County government would be the greatest goal I can work toward while in this position. Specific goals to achieve this include implementing a wellness program, providing customer service training, and continue to identify and pursue improving upon operational procedures such as work order systems, agenda review and internal communications. TIN: The county’s administrator, Ashley Jacobs, recently told a member of the media, “It’s a new day in Beaufort County,” regarding transparency and paying for requested documents using the Freedom of Information Act, documents which can get expensive. With that and county council’s formation of the Communications and Transparency Committee earlier this year, is it a new
day in Beaufort County? What goals or other specific steps has your department taken toward striving for greater transparency or building trust with the public? Inglese: It absolutely is a new day in Beaufort and we are lucky to have Ms. Jacobs leadership and vision. I view the media as a partner in this thing we call “government.” I am happy to share with the media the things I can because there is so much good news and hard work happening it would be good to communicate all of those many good things to the community more often. TIN: A bonus question. When you are not handling the day-to-day business of county administration, what do you enjoy doing when you’re not at work? Inglese: Spending time with family, especially my amazing wife. Anything outdoors in nature, hiking in the woods, going to the beach or mountains, kayaking. I enjoy practicing yoga and traveling whenever I can, especially to Italy.
er to continue any discussion once the vote to table had passed and asked the prevailing side to reconsider. When it became clear that no one was moving toward that end, Murray said, “It’s a sad day for transparency in the City of Beaufort” and abruptly left the meeting. As Murray was leaving, HBF’s former executive director Maxine Lutz stood and
said, “It’s a sad day in this community that you are quieting these people who came here tonight to speak.” Following the vote, Mayor Billy Keyserling alluded to comments made by community members who took him to task over his position to remove the seat, a position which he outlined in a Nov. 20 column in The Island News. “In light of the conversa-
tions, the discussions, the emails, the telephone calls, the ugly names, the nice names, and the community broad conversation, it’s been clear to me that I’m on the different side of this issue from many of my friends, many of my allies, and an organization that I have supported since I came back to Beaufort 30 or so years ago,” he said. Keyserling went on to say that he and McFee had met with HBF’s Executive Director Cynthia Jenkins and Board of Trustees Chairman John Troutman the previous week to discuss “the bigger picture.” He then announced the appointment of a panel to take up the issue of the seat, along with other topics such as training and improved standards that would simplify the process for applicants going before the review board.
and department heads to respond to their needs. The administrator’s primary role is to implement the goals and policies adopted by county council and to engage in public relations. The deputy and the administrator have to work closely together to ensure the “operations” part of the equation has the capacity and resources in place to achieve the goals and policies adopted by county council. We have to balance the wishes of our elected officials and their constituents with the realities of the resources we have in place and available to us. TIN: What are the biggest challenges facing Beaufort County right now, as it relates to your role and the county administrator’s office? Inglese: The biggest challenges is our failing facilities. We are in the process of doing a facilities master plan to help plan for the facilities needed for our operations. That process will likely take another year and there will be many years following to plan for and pay for the implementation of the facilities
master plan. The next biggest challenge is making sure our employees have the resources they need to be successful. I see my role as an advocate for staff, but at the same time, as we improve compensation, benefits and training resources, the expectations on performance will increase. I am not shy to challenge staff in an effort to get their best performance, but I can only do that if they know I have their back and will advocate in their best interest. To that end, we have successfully implemented a sick leave policy and added three holidays to employee benefits. We’ll be bringing council a paid parental leave policy in January. We have begun planning a program called “Employee Empowerment through Information Technology” to ensure employees are proficient in the technologies they are working with every day. And next year, I hope to implement a much-talkedabout wellness program to promote healthy habits for a healthy lifestyle.
And finally, I would like to approach council during the budget process to invest in customer service training to elevate the quality level of service we provide both to our citizens and each other within the county organization. TIN: What are your goals as deputy administrator and how has your background or your education and experience prepared you for these? Inglese: A couple of my top goals include promoting and creating a healthy, supportive and cooperative working environment. It is my desire that we have a culture of public service that recognizes the gratification of selfless service to the community. Ancient philosophers, sages and spiritual leaders as well as contemporary philosophers such as David Brooks in his 2018 publication “Second Mountain” recognize that the secret to living a joyful life is when we get out of our own ego and are willing to give selflessly to others. It is a proven method for true happiness and has been known for millennia. What I love about public service,

a lot of the comments that you’re saying. We understand a lot where you’re coming from,” he said, before making the motion. However, Councilman Stephen Murray, who voted against the removal of the seat at the last meeting, took issue with the tabling, saying the move was improper since many in the public had turned out for the meeting expecting to be heard. Despite Murray’s objections, the motion to table passed 3 to 2, with Murray and Councilman Phil Cromer voting against it. Murray continued to raise concerns throughout the meeting saying it was improp-

Five Ways to Help Protect Your Family from Fraud PROVIDED BY WELLS FARGO ADVISORS
From listening to music to ordering groceries, almost all aspects of our daily lives are connected to the Internet in some way. Nearly a third of Americans say they’re “almost constantly” online, with 81% using the Internet at least once a day.1 But our always-connected nature can come with risks: The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center2 averages more than 900 complaints a day; the center recorded $2.71 billion in victim losses in 2019.3 Here are some ways you can help protect your family online. 1. Learn to spot imposter scams. Have you ever received a call, text, or email purporting to be from your credit card provider regarding suspicious activity detected on your account? It could be a scammer trying to convince you to
share sensitive information that would enable them to access your accounts. Increasingly, these criminals may be able to spoof caller ID or an email address so it appears they are legitimate. When in doubt, do not respond. Instead, alert your provider about the suspicious communication. Learn more about how to spot common scams at www.wellsfargo. com/scams. 2. Manage and monitor your credit. If your data has been compromised through a security breach, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file with the three major credit bureaus. Visit https://www. consumer.ftc.gov/features/ feature-0014-identity-theft for more information on identity theft prevention tips and resources you can share with your family.
Make a habit of reviewing credit reports for you and your child at least once a year. Look for unauthorized accounts that may have been opened in your names. More than 1 million children were victims of identity fraud in 2017, according to one study from banking industry research firm Javelin Strategy & Research.4 3. Limit what you share on social media. Thieves scour social media profiles for clues to security questions, passwords, and other information that could help them impersonate potential victims online. First, set your profiles to private—and encourage your family members to do the same. Also, restrict your social media contacts to people you know personally. Finally, watch what information you disclose. Revealing too much
personal information in your social profiles can put you at greater risk of identity theft, especially if your bank or other companies use that information to verify your identity. 4. Protect your home network. Create a strong password for your wireless network in your home. Consider using a unique phrase with a mix of letters and numbers. Avoid using any part of your email address or information shared on social media, like the name of your pet, favorite movie, or anything else someone could easily guess. When you are configuring your router, the Department of Homeland Security recommends choosing the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) setting, which is the strongest encryption option.5
5. Stay up to date. Cybercriminals change their tactics frequently, so families should stay on top of the latest threats. Be sure to work with Wells Fargo Advisors and other financial providers to understand ways to protect yourself as you conduct financial business online. https://www.pewresearch.org/ fact-tank/2019/07/25/americans-going-online-almost-constantly/ 2 https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx 3 https://pdf.ic3.gov/2018_IC3Report.pdf 4 https://www.javelinstrategy.com/ coverage-area/2018-child-identity-fraud-study 5 https://www.ready.gov/cybersecurity 1

Knitted Knockers a hit with breast cancer survivors
Jo Panayotoff and Chris Marino with a selection of knitted knockers. To create a Knitted Knocker, Panayotoff had to learn how to knit in the round with double pointed needles, an advanced knitting technique that uses four needles with points at each end. “The first couple of knockers I knit-
ted were wonky, but I got the hang of it,” the retired Lady’s Island resident said. "I knitted a pink one for my daughter and sent it to her to try out.” Made with 100 percent cotton yarn approved by Knitted Knockers and proven to be washable, breathable and durable, the wonderfully soft, contoured tata was a big hit. Having proven their worth, Panayotoff set off to find local recipients for her Knitted Knockers. Her first stop was Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Breast Health Center. “I was sold the moment I saw them,” said Beaufort Memorial Breast Care Coordinator Chris Marino. “They’re light and soft and look surprisingly natural.” The knockers come in sizes from A to double D and are stuffed with high-quality fiber fill that can be adjusted through a small drawstring
opening on the back. Marbles or small stones bought at craft stores can be inserted into the prosthesis to get the weight in balance with a women’s natural breast. Knitted Knockers also come in an acrylic blend that can be used for swimming. Recognizing she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demand for the free prostheses, Panayotoff recruited Judy Algar, owner of Coastal Knitting in Beaufort, to help with the project. “I sent a shout out to my clients and got an immediate response from eight accomplished knitters,” Algar said. “Beaufort Memorial needed C cups and they jumped right in.” Knitters pay for the yarn themselves. A $5.75 to $10 roll of yarn generates eight average-sized knockers. It takes about four hours to create one knitted prosthesis. Since October, the volunteer knitters have completed

some 35 knockers. The artificial breast forms are especially popular with women who have just undergone a mastectomy and need to wait for the surgical site to heal before wearing a standard prosthesis. “Every time I’ve shown it to a patient, her face lights up,” Marino said. “I had a woman who used one right away, even before her bandages came off.” Although the industrious knitters have kept Marino supplied in knockers of every size and color, Panayotoff created an order form for any special requests. “Women love them because they feel real,” Panayotoff said. “They have a little squish to them.” For more information on Knitted Knockers, email handyhooters.jp@ gmail.com.

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT
Like so many avid knitters, Jo Panayotoff has put her needle skills to work for a variety of charitable endeavors, from blankets for Radiance Women’s Center in Beaufort to baby gowns for preemies. Looking for a new and different project, she came across the website for Knitted Knockers, a nonprofit group that creates knit prosthetics for breast cancer patients. Panayotoff knew all too well the need for an alternative to the standard silicone breast forms, having listened to her daughter, a breast cancer survivor, gripe about her cumbersome artificial boob. “I remember my daughter complaining that her prosthetic was heavy and hot,” Panayotoff recalled. “She found it so uncomfortable she started stuffing her bra with a rolledup sock.”

Who Is Jesus?
An Unexpected Path Exploring the Identity of Jesus
Lucy makes a claim so wild, her siblings don’t believe her. In the first Narnia book, young Lucy tells her older siblings that while she was hiding in an old wardrobe, she had been transported to a strange new world. Her older brother and sister scold her for telling such an outrageous lie. When she sticks to her story, a wise professor reminds the brother and sister that there are only three possibilities: either Lucy is crazy, or she is telling lies, or she is telling the truth. Since they know Lucy to be mentally sound and a truthful person, it is logical to consider that she might be telling the truth, however incredible it might seem. Jesus made an astounding claim, too: that he is divine. In our last message series, we explored the words and actions of Jesus in the Gospels. His Jewish listeners often recognized that he was claiming equality with God, like the times he claimed authority to forgive sins. He was not put to death for merely teaching people to love one another. If we are to take Jesus seriously, we must also take seriously his claim to be God.
Is Jesus a liar? Another possibility is that Jesus knows that he is not God; he is purposefully deceiving the crowds and his disciples. But as one reads the Gospels, one finds someone whose actions and words are full of integrity. He speaks truth even when it leads to his rejection, torture, and crucifixion. Jesus does not appear to be a liar. Who, then, is Jesus? This is the crucial question that we will explore in this series. If the Jesus of history claimed to be God and was neither a lunatic nor a liar, then only one option remains: he is truly who he claims to be.
The Gospels give us an accurate image of the historical Jesus. In upcoming messages, we will explore how the Gospels are historical documents, similar to other ancient biographies. As men of faith, the authors seek to give readers a true account of the words and actions of Jesus of Nazareth. The Gospels are based on the direct testimony of those who knew Jesus personally, and they are written soon after the original events, while eyewitnesses were still living. Is Jesus a lunatic? As in the example with Lucy, there are only three options available to us once we establish the historical truth about Jesus. It is possible that Jesus thinks that he is God, but he is not. In other words, he is crazy. But as one reads the Gospels, one finds a man who is very clearheaded and emotionally balanced, the sanest person in any room. Jesus does not appear to be crazy.

The Whale Branch boys knew they had an advantage inside Friday at Beaufort High, and they made sure to exploit it. Shawn Chisolm poured in 26 points, and Nick Pringle added 17 and electrified the crowd with some highlight-reel dunks as the Warriors rolled to a 72-49 road win. Jaylin Parrales added eight points, and Devonte Barnard had seven for Whale Branch. The game was tied at 13 after one quarter, but the Warriors outscored the Eagles 22-4 in the second quarter to take control and maintained the cushion throughout the second half. Ollie Holmes and Zyrin Odom
each scored 12 points for the Eagles, who couldn’t overcome the second-quarter scoring drought.
Warriors earn big road win over rival Eagles
The Whale Branch girls continued their strong start to the season with a hard-fought 40-35 road win at Beaufort High on Friday.

Layla Warren poured in 24 points, and Sequoia Smalls added eight for Beaufort, but the Eagles missed too many free throws down the stretch to close the gap.

The ‘Gray Room’ has seen its share of serious conversation
I
t’s Sunday morning and I’m in our “Gray Room.” We call it that because the walls are painted gray and it comes with 8-foot-tall bookshelves — also painted gray. The room has a working fireplace and, today, a small fire. The wall behind the hearth has several portraits; and my wife found a black and red oriental rug that covers most of the hardwood floor. The resulting effect, especially when there is a fire, is intimacy. During our tenancy, the “Gray Room” has hosted dinner parties, birthdays, wedding receptions and aspiring politicians seeking campaign contributions. But this morning, my mind goes back 136 years to John and Pamelia Mardenborough — the African-American couple who built this room and this house in 1883.
SCOTT GRABER
I want to believe that they sat in this very room, in front of the same hearth where I am writing this column, talking about the issues then in play in Port Royal. But while these two people sat and talked in this room, times were troubled and turbulent for African Americans living in Beaufort County. In 1876, a former confederate general, Wade Hampton, had been elected Governor of South Carolina defeating Daniel Chamberlain and the Republican/Reconstruction government that had ruled the state since the end of the
Civil War. This was, in a real sense, the return of white rule in South Carolina. Wade Hampton was a moderate — the old general favored equal access to education and opportunity for both races — and he had won with the help of 17,000 black votes. I don’t know how John Mardenborough voted in 1876, or in 1878 when Wade Hampton was re-elected, but I’m willing to bet that he voted for Hampton and against the Republican Party that was then the Party of Abraham Lincoln — the Great Emancipator. I’m not certain about Mardenborough’s votes — a vote for Hampton seems counterintuitive — but I do have the Congressional Record which quotes John Mardenborough as saying, “The reason for colored men joining (Wade Hampton’s)
Democratic Party is that taxes are low, and less than they were during the Republican Administration in this State; another reason is that they get good treatment in Beaufort County in particular, and the juries are composed equally of white and colored men ...” The notion that African Americans got “good treatment in Beaufort County” is shocking to me — and surely John Mardenborough had no way of knowing what was coming in the person of Ben Tillman — but then Mardenborough’s sworn testimony takes exception to Robert Smalls and his strong-arm campaign tactics. “Smalls in his speech spoke of the existence of colored Democrats in Port Royal; could not see how one who had been a slave could vote for a Democrat; spoke of the barbarity of slavery; spoke of
slaves being badly whipped; told them about workhouses and stocks; tried to picture to the young men the horrors of slavery ...” Mardenborough is critical of Robert Smalls’ efforts to influence young black men, but is even more critical of his effort to influence unmarried black women, quoting Smalls as saying, “‘If the man courting you votes for a Democrat do not marry him; get rid of him right off; he is not fit to be a husband.’ He told them if he (Smalls) was not elected they would lose many of their rights; told the women all depended upon them; and to see that the men voted for him.” Mardenborough goes on to claim that Smalls was indicted for taking a bribe and was considered by his colleagues to be unfit to be in Congress. It’s clear that Robert Smalls and John Mardenborough
I am guilty, I miss my plastic bags

t has been a little longer than a year now since Beaufort County officially banned plastic bags. The ban covered “single-use” plastic bags commonly seen in groceries stores, takeout food, and clothing. The purpose behind the law was to help our local environment and wildlife. I was surprised when I read about it. “How can I live without my plastic bags?” I asked myself. After all, I use them for so many things. I would load my shoes in the bags when I was packing my suitcase. They were perfect to keep

the dirty soles from getting on my clean clothes. I used them for my dog when I took her walking. Nothing like some plastic bags hanging out of your coat pocket to conveniently pick up dog waste.
But I read about the negative impact and embraced the ban. However, recently, while out of town, I was at a grocery store and the checker asked “Ma’am, plastic or paper?”. I stopped in my tracks, looked around carefully, and whispered, “Plastic and double bag the groceries, please.” Oh, the shame, the guilt! How could I do it? But all I could think of at that moment was refilling my old stash at home. I was reminded on how low I was on plastic bags
when I began to unpack my Christmas decorations. The stuffed Teddy Bear dressed like Santa Claus was wrapped in a Publix plastic bag. The wooden Nutcracker sat in a Food Lion plastic bag. Box after box had items packed in plastic bags. Those were the days when I had loads of extra plastic bags. I must admit it has been interesting to see how we as a community have adapted to our new life without plastic bags. The grocery clerks stopped asking “plastic or paper?”. Now they ask, “Do you have your own bags?”
Many stores like Grayco Hardware and Bill’s Liquors even have signs that ask, “Did you remember to bring your own bag?” And the grocery stores sell their own reusable grocery bags which clients can bring back week after week. The community has embraced our “no plastic bag” so well, that when buying a single item at a store, we even tend to say, “Thanks, no bag.” So, my behavior may seem like I am against the plastic bag ban, but I am really not. I support getting rid of those single use plastic bags.
were rivals; and surely that unhappy enmity was one of the topics discussed in front of this fire. When Ben Tillman became governor and Mardenborough (probably) lost his right to vote, or when he lost his right to sit on a jury, there must have been bitter conversations whether to stay in Port Royal — perhaps they even reconsidered their earlier plans of emigrating to Liberia. My wife and I have had our own discussions in front of this fire — discussions about our son’s future; our finances, the development of the Port of Port Royal. But somehow I don’t think that our talks were as difficult, or as existential as those of John and Pamelia Mardenbororough in 1883. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal. Email Scott at cscottgraber@gmail.com.
But the truth is, I use those plastic bags repeatedly and so they are not “single-use” to me. In the meantime, I will make sure the plastic bags I do bring back into Beaufort County get used repeatedly and not just pitched into the landfill. My guilt will be assuaged.

School district forms watchdog committee
SCHOOL BRIEF
Independent group will monitor, report on how $344 million in school bond money is handled
Superintendent Frank Rodriguez has announced the formation of a citizen-led committee that will monitor all building projects, schedules, budgets and expenditures from the $344 million school bond referendum approved by Beaufort County voters last month. “Our community gave the school district an overwhelming demonstration of support, and now we have to keep taxpayers’ confidence by completing the projects they approved on time and on budget,” Rodriguez said in a release. “The new Citizen-Led Oversight Committee will serve as an independent watchdog by monitoring projects and spending and then reporting directly to the public and the Board of Education.” Rodriguez said CLOC members will bring a wide variety of professional experiences to their tasks. Members include CPAs, urban
planners, civil engineers and project managers. “The committee’s independence will be an important asset,” the superintendent said. “Taxpayers need to be able to trust them as watchful and effective monitors.” The CLOC’s first meeting will be in January, and it will meet thereafter on a schedule it develops. It will make public quarterly reports that will be presented to the Board of Education and posted on a dedicated section of the school district’s website.

BCSD earns 19th consecutive audit with no financial findings
For the 19th consecutive year, the Beaufort County School District has earned an exemplary financial review from outside auditors. The Greenville-based auditing firm of Elliott Davis told the Board of Education on Dec. 10 that it had found no weaknesses or deficiencies in the school district’s internal financial controls during the 2018-19 fiscal year and no findings of noncompliance with state or federal laws. South Carolina state law requires all school districts to have their finances reviewed and analyzed each year by independent outside auditors. From May through October, a team of Elliott Davis auditors reviewed the school district’s FY 2018-19 finances. Tonight, Elliott Davis presented the results of its audit to the Board of Education.
