COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

Resort planned for Bay Point denied by Beaufort County zoning board

By Mindy Lucas After more than a year of trying to make their case for a high-end, ecotourism resort on a barrier island in Beaufort County, developers from Bay Point Island were shut out by the county’s Zoning Board of Appeals at a public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 24. The luxury resort, estimated to run $100 million, was to feature 50 cottages among other buildings that developers said would blend in with the tree line and have little impact on the surrounding environment.

But planning board members at Thursday night’s meeting weren’t convinced. “This is a great idea, but I just don’t think it’s compatible with the surrounding area,” said board chairman Kevin Mack just before a vote was held to deny the project. “I think it’s going to do more harm to the environment. It might be great for some things, but I’m just looking at the habitat on such an island, prestigious area,” he said. About 80 mask-wearing individ-

uals filled the gymnasium at Burton Wells Recreation Center in Beaufort for the in-person meeting, spacing themselves apart in chairs set up in rows across the gym floor. Zoning Board meetings on the project had been postponed earlier in the summer after officials cited the need for something other than a virtual meeting on the development. While some were there for other

By Mindy Lucas Improving communications with the public and dealing with the pandemic were top of mind for candidates vying for school board seats at a recent candidates forum hosted by the League of Women Voters. Four seats are in play this November: District 1, District 6, District 9 and District 11. Earl Campbell currently represents District 1, which covers northern Beaufort County. Jevona Armstrong is also running for District 1. District 6, which covers Sun City and part of Okatie, is currently represented by John Dowling, but Dowling

Cunningham, Mace trade jabs in Beaufort debate By Lolita Huckaby Republican 1st District Congressional candidate Nancy Mace made it clear Monday night during her first televised debate with incumbent Congressman Joe Cunningham that she grew up in the Lowcountry. The fact was one of many jabs exchanged during the one hour debate as Mace highlighted her relationship with the Lowcountry compared to

Cunningham, who grew up in Kentucky and came to South Carolina to attend the College of Charleston. But they’re both here now, and the two came out figuratively swinging in their efforts to convert voters for the upcoming Nov. 3 election. The prepared questions ranged

Parris Island rumors a wake-up call for citizens of Beaufort

hat roar you may hear is the collective buzz coming from the Lowcountry’s elected leaders reacting to the news late last week that the United States Marine Corps would consider closing its two training bases – including Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island – and open a new base where the training of male and female recruits would be consolidated. Closing Parris Island would put an end to more than 100 years of Lowcountry and American history

and subtract a big chunk of change from Beaufort’s economy that won’t be replaced. “It ain’t gonna happen!” tweeted

South Carolina’s senior U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham. “If you’re looking to save money — let’s start with cutting those people who think closing Parris Island is a good idea. Anyone in the Navy or Marine Corps thinking about closing Parris Island has limited growth potential.” Graham wasn’t the only one to speak up. The Palmetto State’s other senator, Tim Scott, as well as Graham’s opposition in the upcoming election, Democrat Jaime Harrison released statements opposing the

closing of Parris Island. “The heart of the United States Marine Corps beats on Parris Island, and Beaufort County has proudly welcomed recruits from all over the country for generations,” Scott said in a statement. “I am confident that as they review plans for consolidated training, the Marine Corps will determine that Parris Island makes the most sense both financially and logistically to train Marines for decades to come. Parris Island will not close.” Congressman Joe Cunningham

of South Carolina’s 1st District and his Republican opponent Nancy Mace also responded. In fact, Mace is going the distance. Just after 4 a.m. Tuesday, the state representative announced a noon press conference at Parris Island to discuss the rumors, and then Tuesday evening, Mace announced another press conference for noon Wednesday in Mt. Pleasant. Beaufort’s state representatives

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Truth only one of the things you won’t hear

I am so tired of lies. Since the face of our Republic is important to all of us, and the Pledge of Allegiance is part of that face, I would like to correct the statement in Carter Swenson's letter in the Sept. 24 edition of The Island News. No, the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democratic Convention did not leave out "Under God" – watch it for yourself on YouTube to see the very moving and participatory way in which it was recited by many of your fellow citizens of all ages, colors and beliefs. It is surprising to me that more of the incumbent's supporters simply don't seem to care to check his lies for themselves when they are so easily disproven, considering his by-now well-documented lying about most things for no reason other than sowing political division. To Tim Lauridsen's point about policing (same issue): It's true that Joe Biden has a long political record that includes some decisions that he has said he regrets, and from which he has evolved, as has most of the country. But contrary to the incumbent, Biden’s record of public service includes helping to stabilize and reverse the Great Recession, and crafting our nation's first attempt at providing health coverage and national standards for millions more people than ever before. Despite repeated Republican sabotage of this new program, the Affotdable Care Act (ACA) has brought the security of health coverage to millions of American citizens, regardless of employment status or previous condition – especially important now, with high unemployment and a new “previous condition” – COVID. The incumbent has very few notable mentions, much less successes, as he continues to align us with third-world nations and isolate us from former allies. After four years (it seems much longer) of living in the incumbent's creation of chaos, lies, mob cronyism and hatred in my country, of seeing our environmental protections degraded, our justice system perverted, and more than 200,000 fellow citizens dead because the incumbent is unfit to serve as President, I will happily vote for a change. Joe Biden and his terrific Democratic team

S.C. college leaders: Stay course on coronavirus

College and universities, which are usually the settings for large, exuberant crowds and many face-to-face gatherings, are having to do the best they can while also following best practices of wearing face coverings and social distancing in order to slow and stop the spread of COVID-19, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. South Carolina’s colleges and universities have each done considerable work to reduce class sizes and manage foot traffic in and around our academic buildings, residence halls, dining facilities, stadiums and arenas. We have established face covering requirements, hand-washing and sanitizing stations, deep-cleaning protocols and routines for wiping down desks and common spaces. We have communicated regularly with our university communities, including parents and families, to ensure understanding of these “new normal” behaviors. But this is only part of the solution. Our students are not on campus 24/7. As they navigate the towns and cities in which they reside, the close partnerships that universities and colleges have with the governor’s office, mayors’ offices and city and county councils have been critical for maintaining consistent public health protocols off campus. As presidents representing every corner of this state, we know this is a big lift for everyone in South Carolina. We know that the many different coronavirus-related ordinances and governor’s orders require uncommon sacrifices of convenience and money. However, if these ordinances and orders are lifted prematurely and the virus sees a resurgence in the state, the potential shortterm gains of some could mean catastrophic

long-term losses to others, both in lives lost and businesses closed. We are grateful to Gov. Henry McMaster and all our elected officials at the state and local levels for adopting ordinances and passing statewide legislation over the summer to keep South Carolina on the right path. And we call on these elected officials to hold fast to these measures. Efforts to require face coverings, regulate high-risk commercial activity and limit large gatherings where social distancing is not practical are working and are helping reduce the spread and transmission of this virus. Our greatest fear is that if these safeguards are removed too soon, we may end up back where we were in the spring — shutting down our campuses and, by extension, jeopardizing the economic health of our cities and towns. This is something no one wants. As of this writing, South Carolina is seeing an overall decrease in the number of actual positive cases (seven-day average) and in the percentage of positives in those tested — a trend we all want to see continue. We’ve come this far; let’s not jeopardize our progress by relaxing protocols too soon. We all look forward to the day when we can hear each other more clearly without the muffled sounds of face coverings and gather in large groups without worrying about how many feet separate us. Let’s stay patient and look to the day when we can truly enjoy the roar of the crowd — the sound of our collective victory. – Al M.

Marine Corps brass consider closing Parris Island? Say it ain’t so!

PORT ROYAL alk about closing one of our military bases is like talking about pending hurricanes: Not to be taken lightly. We ARE a military community whether it seems like it or not. Our three bases – Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Beaufort Naval Hospital and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort – represent the county’s largest employers. According to the Chamber of Commerce, Parris Island alone employs 6,000 plus and has an annual economic impact of $739 million. But an article surfaced last week in which the Commandant of the Marine Corps repeated the Congressional

LOLITA HUCKABY

directive for an integrated training facility – as in males and females training and living together. And the reporters, equally weary of writing about political campaigns and Supreme Court justices, went into full court press. The thing is, the Corps brass has been saying for a decade they want integrated training, like the Army and Navy. And questioned, again,

whether it wouldn’t be more efficient to close Parris Island and San Diego, the west coast Marine training depot, and centralize training. Certainly the future of Parris Island is on someone’s long-distance planning list because of its low-lying terrain in a time of rising sea levels. The timing of this particular debate is also interesting. Roughly a month before a hotly contested national election, political observers have to wonder which candidate would benefit from the threat, who would fight hardest for the base. Responses from all of the players have been a pledge to fight for the base. And

that’s certainly a given. Anyone who cares about the future of this area will lobby to keep the depot in business. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said it best. He’s “skeptical of any rumors, innuendos and suggestions that are coming out of D.C.” right now. Then he, like the rest of us, will see where things stand.

Good month for those concerned about future BEAUFORT – It’s just an observation, but those concerned about the environment and how Beaufort County grows had a pretty good record – finally – in September. The Whitehall subdivision

on Lady’s Island, a much-debated project even though the county was able to buy half of the property for a public park, was rejected by the Port Royal-Beaufort Municipal Planning commission primarily because of the traffic impact. Bay Point Island was “saved” from development by an international hospitality firm when the county Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously rejected those plans. And a much smaller project – but equally important to the neighbors – was a 4-acre sand mining application in a residential part of Daufuskie Island. As has been seen repeatedly on Lady’s Island and St. Helena,

sand mining is a valuable resource for developers who need sand to fill in low-lying areas … to build more. Now let’s see what appeals get filed and where the courts will take us. P.S. Of course all the little landscaping trees in the Beaufort Plaza, including the lovely confederate rose in front of the Burton Post Office, were bulldozed to make way for a new landscaping plan suitable of a new Publix. But that’s progress … Lolita Huckaby Watson is a community volunteer and a former reporter/editorial assistant/columnist with The Beaufort Gazette, The Savannah Morning News, Bluffton Today and Beaufort Today.

retreat held in February that included Mayor Billy Keyserling,

City Council members, City Manager Bill Prokop and department heads and managers. Four “Key Focus Areas” were outlined at that time – Economic Development & Innovation; A Safe & Vibrant City; Growth & Natural Resources; and Organizational Excellence. Subsequently, depart-

ments fleshed out initiatives tied to the objectives and aligned with the budget. “The plan spells out each objective and what we’re going to achieve and how we’re going to achieve them, and that will be helpful to Council moving forward. We also use it to tie our budget together to the

goals and objectives of each department,” Prokop said. Mayor Keyserling noted that this is the third Strategic Plan the City has had. “The Strategic Plan is very helpful to keep us on track,” he said. Mayor Pro Tem Mike McFee said having a Strategic

Plan was helpful as council dealt with revenue issues this year related to Covid-19. “It was easier to identify the ramifications and ripple effects of shifts in certain line items, because the Strategic Plan touches on that. Kudos to the staff for continuing the process,” he said.

Two from Lady’s Island – St. Helena graduate from Fire Academy From staff reports Jeremy Garber and James Masters of the Lady’s Island – St. Helena Fire District were among the graduates of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation’s South Carolina Fire Academy’s most recent eight-week firefighter candidate school in Columbia. Garber was the class’ Chief Robert Frick Award winner for being the recruit with the highest grade point average. The class graduated Friday, Sept. 25. Bluffton Township Fire District Chief John Thompson was the keynote speaker. The firefighters underwent a 320-hour training program of classroom and hands-on firefighting skills development. “This challenging eightweek program requires commitment, passion, and dedication,” Fire Academy Superintendent Dennis Ray said in a release. “These recruits have successfully worked together as a team,

performed extensive handson training with live fires, and passed intensive practical skills evaluations and written tests to meet the National Fire Protection Association standards.” The comprehensive training, offered quarterly at the Fire Academy, includes emergency responder first aid training, hazardous materials operations training, auto extrication, flammable liquids and gas firefighting, rescue training, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Firefighter I and Firefighter II levels. Additionally, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes were made to class structure and facilities to promote social distancing and recommended precautions. “With the successful completion and graduation of these new firefighters, who will now be dedicating their lives to serving their communities and the state, our South Carolina fire service is enhanced,” Ray said. “I am

proud of their accomplishments and I also commend the dedicated Fire Academy instructors who brought the recruits through these weeks of instruction leading to graduation.” The Fire Academy provides emergency services training to the municipal fire service – both paid and volunteer – airport crash rescue departments, industrial fire brigades and emergency teams and service organizations including EMS, law enforcement and military from around the state and the world. The Fire Academy is accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress and National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (Pro Board) for multiple NFPA firefighter levels. The Fire Academy and the State Fire Marshal’s Office make up the Division of Fire and Life Safety, which is a division of the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

Beaufort Police Department earns state re-accreditation From staff reports The City of Beaufort Police Department has received its Certificate of Re-Accreditation from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Accreditation (SCLEA) program. This certificate is presented to agencies that have demonstrated dedication to excellence and professionalism in law enforcement through voluntary compliance with specific standards designed to enhance the professional delivery of law enforcement services. These agencies are recognized through the SCLEA as leaders in South Carolina law enforcement. During the last week of July and the first week of August, assessors from the

SCLEA conducted an audit of the Police Department’s policies and procedures and examined records to ensure the department is following best practices in law enforcement. The Beaufort Police Department received its initial state accreditation in August 2017. The department is reviewed for re-accreditation every three years. “I would like to thank the men and women of our agency for providing top-level professional service to our community,” Interim Police Chief Dale McDorman said. “To say how proud I am of our officers and our agency for this accomplishment would be an understatement.” State accreditation ensures

that the department’s policies and procedures meet current professional standards and law enforcement best practices. These are standards that the department must follow to remain an accredited agency. There are 289 standards that an agency must comply with to obtain and maintain accreditation. Some of the topics covered by South Carolina Law Enforcement Accreditation standards include patrol procedures, mutual aid assistance, recruitment and selection of officers, training and career development, biased based profiling, mental illness, use of force, pursuits and numerous other standards.

Officers and staff of the Beaufort Police Department pose with their re-accreditation certificate. Pictured are, back row from left, Capt. George Erdel, Lt. Richard Poole; front row from left, Interim Chief Dale McDorman, accreditation coordinator Lindsey Edwards, office manager Carolyn Branson (and Missy), and Lt. Jason Day. Submitted photo.

PAIGE POINT REDEDICATION

The cemetery, overgrown and vandalized, is the burial site of freed slaves from Paige Point Plantation and had become the resting place of local residents throughout the years. The use of ground penetrating radar located 120 graves, of which only two still had standing head stones. ••• Above right: The headstone of Henrietta B. Scriven is one of two still standing in the Paige Point Cemetery in Sheldon.

Built on the Apostles Leadership in the Early Church

The Founding Fathers knew our nation would need leaders. When our nation began, the Founding Fathers recognized that we would need elected leaders. The need for leadership would not only be for the first generation of Americans, but for the entire existence of our country. The presidency, for example, was designed to be an office that outlived George Washington. The nation would always be led by a president, a successor to Washington.

Jesus knew humanity even better than the Founding Fathers. He knew that his family of faith, the Church, would always need leaders. He called and trained the apostles to be the first leaders of the Church, but their office would continue past their lifetime. The authority he gave them was not only meant for the first generation of Christians, but to be passed down through the generations, so that his family of faith would always be led by successors of the apostles. The ministry of the apostles was meant to continue. At the start of Acts, Peter reminds the apostles that they need to choose a replacement for Judas, “to take over this apostolic ministry.” Guided by God, they chose Matthias, who “was added to the eleven apostles.” (Acts 1:12-26) This event shows that the apostles understood their ministry to be an ongoing office, greater than any one of them as individuals. Matthias was the successor to Judas in his office of apostle.

Timothy received his authority from Paul. After mentoring Timothy for many years, Paul made Timothy a bishop. Paul encouraged Timothy, reminding the young bishop of the gift he received from God “through the laying on of my hands.” (2 Tim 1:6) Paul also tells Timothy to “not be hasty in the laying on of hands,” meaning that he must be careful in choosing additional leaders. (1 Tim 5:22) Here one sees three generations of leaders: Paul, Timothy, and those to whom Timothy will pass on authority. In Acts, Jesus provides leaders for his Church family. People were not starting their own churches, leading a congregation on their own authority. Divine authority was given by Jesus to the apostles, who themselves passed on this authority to carefully chosen leaders. In this way, the ministry of the apostles would continue in each generation. Jesus would always be with his people, guiding them and teaching them as a united family of faith.

As the Church grew, more leaders were needed. As Christianity spread to new lands, the apostles would train new leaders to continue their ministry in each area. Through the laying on of hands, the apostles would pass on their authority to these leaders, whom they called bishops, meaning “overseers.” The bishops would often, in turn, pass on this authority to a new generation of leaders through the laying on of hands. The laying on of hands is a Scriptural gesture for the conveying of authority. Moses, for example, laid his hands upon Joshua as he made Joshua his successor. (Numbers 27:23)

Debate from page A1

from offshore drilling to affordable housing to medical care to voting records. Cunningham took aim at Mace’s voting record in the S.C. House, where he pointed out she missed 30 percent of the votes earlier in the year. Mace, a single mother of two, said she was suffering from COVID and her children were sick during that period. Then she accused her opponent of attacking working, single moms who put their children’s medical care before work. “You should be ashamed of yourself; you should be disqualified from these debates,” she scolded Cunningham, who is married with one young son.

Board

from page A1 announced last year he would not run again. Angela Middleton is running for District 6. Board chair Christina Gwozdz currently represents District 9, which covers the southern part of Bluffton and Daufuskie Island. She is being challenged by Jennifer Morrow, also running for District 9. District 11 covers part of Hilton Head Island and is currently represented by JoAnn Orischak. Orischak announced earlier this year she would not seek re-election. Ingrid Boatright is running for District 11. League member and South Carolina’s former Superintendent of Education Barbara Nielsen moderated the virtual forum on Sept. 17. Candidates were given five minutes to introduce themselves. The following is some of what they said: Earl Campbell Campbell has served District 1 for more than 25 years. He is a native of Beaufort County, a veteran, a husband, father and grandfather. He is also a member of the S.C. School Boards Association, the National School Boards Association and Council of Urban Boards of Education. His early and strong support for the 2019 school bond referendum was an example of fighting for educational opportunities for all students in the district, he said. “During these troubling times of Covid-19 and economic unrest, we need experience, battle-tested, dedicated leadership at the helm,” he said. Jevona Armstrong A native of Brooklyn, New York, Armstrong relocated to Sheldon about 20 years ago. She has three children in the Beaufort County school system, is a military wife and a teacher, having taught preschool and served as a substitute teacher. Her greatest accomplishment, she said, is being a founding member of Bridges Preparatory Charter School. She also runs a summer site for the county’s free-lunch program and founded an Amateur Athletic Union youth basketball team for Whale Branch – the Beaufort Hurricanes. “I’m running for school board because we need a fresh and new, informed view and perspective on things,” she said.

Mace repeatedly came back at Cunningham for voting with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on 90 percent of the votes. But the incumbent noted during his first week in Congress he voted against Pelosi for Speaker. “My opponent seems to be so hell-bent to run against Nancy Pelosi, I suggest she buy herself a plane ticket, fly to California and run against Nancy Pelosi,” he said. “But we’re here and she’s running against me.” Cunningham repeatedly pointed to his recognition as the fourth most bi-partisan member of Congress and his endorsement by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He continued his campaign theme of the importance of “reaching across the aisles” to reach legislative solutions. Mace accused Cunning-

Angela Middleton Originally from Charleston, Middleton has lived in Beaufort County since 2012. A former educator, Middleton has been a principal, assistant principal and a teacher. She taught at Bluffton Middle School and recently graduated from law school. Ensuring that all children in the district are able to succeed is important to her, she said. “That is my deepest passion to make sure that children can achieve their goals and accomplish all of their dreams,” she said. Christina Gwozdz Gwozdz has lived in the Bluffton School District she serves for 26 years and also serves as the school board’s current chairman. Her three sons attended Bluffton public schools. She is a founding partner of Outpatient Surgery Center of Hilton Head and currently owns and manages her own medical practice, Palmetto Ear, Nose and Throat, PA. The school board has accomplished a lot during her tenure as member and chair, she said. “But we still have more work to do to ensure a quality education for all Beaufort County students,” she said. Jennifer Morrow A Gullah native, Morrow has lived in Bluffton for 35 years. She is a mother, wife and military spouse and works as a deployment readiness coordinator for the United States Marine Corps. Her three priorities are student education, enhancing the educational system and opportunities provided to students and increasing teacher recruitment. “I’m not running for myself, I’m running for every student in the Beaufort County School District North of the Broad and South of the Broad,” she said. Ingrid Boatright Boatright has lived in Beaufort County for 12 years where she has raised three children and volunteered in different capacities – from starting after-school programs to coach-

ing youth basketball. She also serves on the board of the Boys and Girls Club of Hilton Head Island. Education is facing incredibly challenging times right now due to the pandemic, she said. “In addition, the school board is emerging from a difficult period of acrimony and public mistrust,” she said. Among her key ideas motivating her to run for school board is to integrate the board within the community more and shift the focus of education away from standardized testing and more toward the ‘whole-child’ concept.

room but sees a disconnect now with those two groups. “If we don’t educate our teachers, our administrators, our support staff about culturally where these kids are coming from, how can they best help these students and the school?” she asked. Boatright agreed with the candidates’ previous comments adding that institutional racism is about inconsistency and occurs when rules are applied inconsistently. She suggested the board do more listening in order to craft policies that address the issue. “And not just to staff and not just to teachers, we need to find students and student groups … and talk to them about what their experiences are so we’re aware of what’s going on,” she said. Boatright also noted that the school district should look at how standardized testing affects certain groups. Some districts around the country are moving away from standardized testing and toward other methods of assessment or measuring achievement, she said. Campbell emphasized the need to have high expectations of students “no matter where you come from.” He suggested that teachers and staff, especially those who are new or from out of state, become educated about the area’s Gullah history perhaps by visiting the Penn Center on St. Helena Island. He also suggested a broader review of our country’s history books when it comes to African American history and contributions. “There are a lot of contributions and things that African-Americans have achieved in this country and even in this county that a lot of us don’t know about,” he said. In addition, he noted the need for more black male teachers in the classroom. “Which is very hard to do but it’s something we as a board need to work on,” he said. Armstrong agreed with the previous comments made by candidates adding that when she moved to South Carolina, the Gullah culture was new to her. She called for introducing culturally diverse curriculums into the classroom and diversity training and workshops for staff. “And we need to look at our behavioral policies and discipline policies,” she said. “Our African American children are being punished harder than their white peers, and I’ve seen it first hand.” The district needs to en-

The Questions Candidates were asked a number of questions and given an opportunity to make closing statements as well. Here is just a sampling of those questions: Understanding that bias does not affect just one race or ethnic group, what policy recommendations would you make or suggest to ensure that institutional racism does not contribute to the achievement gap, or inequities in student discipline or inequities in cultural education for teachers and administrators? Middleton said it’s important to recognize that racism does exist, and that everyone should be educated about it – especially institutional racism and its history. A policy should be put into place for this to occur, she said. “Educating people, teachers, supervisors, principals, district office people about the history of racism will assist with abolishing institutional racism which will also close that achievement gap,” she said. Gwozdz agreed with Middleton about the importance of cultural understanding. “We need to understand each other to accept each other and to showcase our diversity and use it as a strength,” she said. In terms of policy, the Beaufort County school district just updated its progressive discipline plan in the student code of conduct, she said. “It’s important to know that it was revised to be certain that there are not inequities in terms of how students are disciplined,” she said. Morrow said because she was a product of Beaufort County schools, the subject hits home for her. She attributed her success partly to the willingness of teachers to connect with parents and families outside the class-

Recruit Depot open. As a parting shot, Cunningham noted that Mace’s business experiences include being co-owner of the FITSNEWS.com, which he called a “political gossip and bikini” website. The debate was sponsored by the Charleston Post and Courier, SCETV and S.C. sure discipline policies are being applied consistently across all groups, she said. What recommendations do you have for improving the board’s relationship with the community and among its own members? Boatright said she thought it had gotten better but the board needs to continue building on that progress and restoring trust. An acronym she likes to use is P.A.C.T., which stands for professional, accountable, communicative and transparent. “I think what is frustrating parents with the school board is just what’s the communication,” she said, adding that good communication is now more important than ever as the country continues to face a pandemic. Morrow said respect is missing from the school board and the board needs to work together more as a team. She said the lack of respect or even disgust from one board member to another could be seen and heard when watching board proceedings. “Me as a parent, I’m sitting watching all this,” Morrow said. “When I say respect, how do we build that respect and trust, not only with our parents and students, but with our community members.” When it came to decisions being made to return to school, parents were frustrated with the lack of communication, she said. The district had just announced, the night before the forum, it would be returning to in-person education using a two-day a week hybrid model, beginning Oct. 5. “Once that information went public, the school board and the school district should have been able to immediately tell parents, ‘This is our way ahead, this is our path. Let us alleviate some of your concerns,’” she said. Gwozdz said she believes the new board, seated almost two years ago, and its new leadership have regained public trust as evident by the overwhelming support for the $344 million school bond referendum, which passed with almost 70 percent of the vote in 2019. She said in order to continue growing the community’s trust, the board needs to partner with the community on other initiatives like it did with the bond referendum. Gwozdz also agreed with Boatright and Morrow on the need for professionalism and respect on the board and stressed professional devel-

opment. “But our power and our authority is only as a single board,” she said. “We don’t have any power as a single individual.” Middleton also said the board had gotten better “in the last few years,” but could still benefit from clear communications – especially with the latest decision to return to in-person education in October. “We also need to be very professional. That has gotten better … and the transparency – that builds trust,” she said. “When people know what the board is doing at all times, then they will invest and they will trust the board.” Armstrong agreed with the need for respectful communication among board members but with the public and parents as well. “Right now, we really don’t have much communication,” she said, referring to the previous night’s announcement to return to school Oct. 5. “That’s it. We didn’t get anything else,” Armstrong said. “These are the things parents and guardians and everybody worries about. There needs to be more details in place and the board needs to show us a little bit more respect.” Campbell said in order to build trust it was important for the board and board members to do exactly what they said they were going to do and have more respect for each other. “People are sitting there watching us and even students,” he said. When he first joined the board, a wise man told him to use the criticism of others for strength, he said. “He said, listen to what they say to you. Don’t get into an argument, let them know that you are concerned about their concerns,” he said. “And I think that way you will have better trust with the community.” Mindy Lucas is the Beaufort reporter for The Island News and is a staff writer for Lowcountry Weekly.

$166K in ATAX grants The loss of a loved one is go to tourism groups devastating enough From staff reports At its Sept. 22 meeting, Beaufort City Council voted to accept the FY 2021 ATAX grant recommendations from the Tourism Development Advisory Committee (TDAC). The grants are generated by the State Accommodations Tax (ATAX) revenue, and state law governs the distribution and use of the monies. A certain amount of these revenues is allocated for the grant process to non-profit groups focused on the promotion, marketing, and advertising of tourism. TDAC meets once a year to review, discuss and score applicant presentations for

and senators – Shannon Smith Erickson and Tom Davis among them – were vocal as well. As were the mayors of Beaufort and Port Royal, Billy Keyserling and Joe Devito, respectfully. They were both caught off guard by the news. Most were cautious, and all were steadfast in their defenses of Parris Island. None of their responses should be surprising. It’s the politically prudent thing to do, even if Parris Island did need to be closed. (Close your emails, I’m not saying it DOES.) For now, let’s just assume everyone is on the same page and everyone’s interest in keeping Parris Island open is genuine. In the recent past, the main concern about Beaufort’s military bases – MCAS Beaufort, Naval Hospital Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island – was that they were increasingly susceptible to hurricanes and increased flooding because of climate change and rising

from page A1 projects on the agenda, such as a proposed sand mine on Daufuskie Island – also denied, many more were there to voice their objections to the resort project. “We oppose this project last year, we oppose this project now and we oppose this project in the future,” said Marquetta Goodwine, also known as Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation. In a dramatic show of opposition, Goodwine held up a box containing 30,000 signatures from residents against the development. Goodwine, along with most, if not all, of the area’s conservation organizations have been against the project since last year when plans for the development were first revealed. Conservation leaders cited severe erosion, rising sea levels, increased hurricanes and storms in an area with an already fragile ecosystem as reasons for denying such a development.

these grants. This year, $166,724 was budgeted for grants. TDAC committee members noted that a total of $257,250 was requested by nine organizations. The Greater Beaufort-Port Royal Convention & Visitors Bureau requested $140,000 for destination marketing, and TDAC recommended that they receive the full amount, as the Beaufort-Port Royal Designated Marketing Organization (DMO). “The hotel market is down 29% and $7 million this year because of Covid-19,” TDAC Chairman Vimal Desai said. He commended the CVB for “demonstrated results in marketing strategy.”

sea levels. But this time around, Parris Island is being threatened by an elephant in the room. As cited in Military.com’s original story, there is a congressional mandate to have both USMC training bases “able to support gender-integrated training in the coming years.” Right now, it’s simple. They’re not. "Nothing, the way we're organized right now, lends itself to integrated recruit training," U.S. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger told Military.com. "If that's our start point – and it is – we have to get to a place on both coasts, or a third location or whatever we end up with, that ... there are male and female recruits around." (Just an aside here … so would Gen. Berger be one of the men Sen. Graham was insulting? I don’t need an answer.) But there IS good news. Even if Parris Island isn’t up to the task of “integrated recruit training,” neither is any place else the Marines currently operate. And given how the wheels of government turn, a That opposition picked up steam in recent months after it was discovered that an organization known as The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) has a history of troubling allegations. An article in the July 15 edition of The Island News detailed those findings, namely that TIES is no longer a nonprofit organization as it purports to be on its website, and has a history of questionable practices when it comes to disclosing financial information. Beaufort State House Rep. Shannon Erickson who co-authored a letter with Sen. Chip Campsen was also on hand for the public hearing and read from her letter specifically addressed the “troubling” issue of TIES’ involvement with the project. “This is troubling on several fronts not the least of which is even if the third party entity does exist, it is unelected and therefore unaccountable to citizens in Beaufort County,” she said at the meeting. Still, developers tried side-stepping the elephant in the room and continued to make their case as private

As a compromise, developers offered to place 1,200 acres, including 15 buildable lots already permitted by the county, into a conservation easement. That would leave 25 lots for future development plus the resort. Ultimately, however, the project was denied in a unanimous vote. Board members found it inconsistent with the county’s plan to protect rural resources, incompatible with land in the local vicinity, not designed to minimize the impacts on wildlife, not designed to minimize the impacts on local services, such as emergency or fire protection, and did not meet the definition of ecotourism.

he Global Lyme Alliance (“GLA”) has acquired an expertise in antibodies and immunity as a result of our significant efforts over many years to find an accurate diagnostic test for Lyme disease and a cure. We have studied antibodies to (i) determine immunity, (ii) understand their role in fighting disease and (iii) improve upon today’s unreliable, yet widely used antibody Lyme tests. This has led to GLA’s immense knowledge regarding antibody behavior, immunity and testing. So, America, welcome to our neighborhood! Frequently, one hears, “I’m happy I tested positive for coronavirus antibodies because now I’m

immune.” This is a common assumption that having antibodies against the novel coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) means protection against COVID-19, and therefore social distancing and similar safeguards can be relaxed. After all, don’t antibodies neutralize the virus and prevent another infection? For many viruses and bacteria this scenario is true. For the virus that causes COVID-19, this may be the case, or the antibodies may act more like they do in Lyme disease. Those who contract Lyme disease do not develop immunity and therefore can repeatedly contract the disease. There is a myriad of reasons why a person who tests positive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 should still practice guidelines to ensure their own safety

and that of others. First, antibodies do not stay in your bloodstream indefinitely. Upon infection, some antibodies may only last weeks or a few months. Second, not all antibodies can kill the virus or bacteria. Our immune systems are like a military defense system that is on duty 24/7 against microbial attack. Within weeks of a new intruder being detected, specially designed antibodies are unleashed in the body to hunt down the intruding virus and neutralize it. However, they are not always successful. Third, once the infection is contained, the antibodies are no longer needed and often disappear. If this occurs, don’t despair, because memory cells often develop in the bone marrow that can rapidly produce and re-release antibodies if the virus attacks again. The memory cells are much like anti-virus software that can identify a known virus and intercept it, thereby creating immunity to that invader. These important memory cells are not always produced, however. For example, a GLA funded study showed that in Lyme

disease, the bacteria can shut off the ability to develop memory cells, which then leaves the victim open to repeated infections with no protection. Medical researchers do not know if this is also the case with the novel coronavirus. If it is, then we are certainly not immune to reinfection. In fact, instances of re-exposure and reinfection have recently been reported. Lyme disease antibody testing has been notoriously inaccurate and unreliable. These tests often fail to pick up Lyme antibodies in the blood and falsely provide a Lyme negative result. GLA has been backing studies to find a better antibody test. For COVID-19, antibody tests were developed quickly and fast tracked by the FDA. While the companies providing the tests have self-reported impressive sensitivity (does the test find the antibody) and specificity (the test finding antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 or ones that attach to other invaders too), most have not yet been independently verified. Additionally, tests for anti-

bodies that neutralize the virus have not been made commercially available. So, the issues are as follows: the antibodies likely don’t stay in your body for long, you may or may not have memory cells to stop a reinfection, the antibodies you do have may or may not be neutralizing, and the antibody tests are useful, but their reliability is not yet confirmed. Lyme disease patients are all too familiar with these unknowns. Until these questions are answered by scientists, please continue to wear masks, social distance and use caution even if you are not symptomatic and your COVID-19 antibody test is positive. We feel it is important for the public to be aware that there are still critical unknowns as to whether a positive antibody test means a person is immune and safe from spreading the virus. Good science unfortunately takes time and validation. This is extremely frustrating, but it is a reality. Finding these answers is not easy. For 40 years, the biomedical re-

search community has only made incremental progress in answering such questions for Lyme disease. However, Lyme disease research is woefully underfunded by federal and state authorities when compared to the tremendous public health impact of tick-borne diseases in the United States. GLA is confident that with the billions being spent on COVID-19 research, the answers will come faster and the discoveries made will provide new pathways to cures and tests for this and other devastating diseases that threaten our way of life.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Options & References for a Healthier Life

Local audiologist, Monica Wiser, featured in national journal From staff reports Beaufort Audiology & Hearing Care’s Monica Wiser, M.A. CCC-A, was featured in the cover story of this month’s issue of The Hearing Journal, a national trade journal focused on hearing health care. The article, Business Sustainment Strategies Amid the Pandemic, explores how independent hearing practices across the nation have responded and adapted to the challenges of the pandemic. The article opens with a flattering depiction of Beau-

fort, “In the Sea Islands of South Carolina, the town of Beaufort — with its Southern charm and Monica Wiser, M.A. a r c h i t e c t u r e CCC-A — has been honored with a plethora of best place to live awards from various publications. And nestled in the Lady’s Island section of the town with a population of just more than 12,000 is Beaufort Audiology and Hearing Care,

owned and operated by Monica Wiser, MA, CCC-A.” While others cited in the article addressed marketing strategies, Wiser focused on a patient-centered approach. Her enhanced sensitivity toward her patients largely stems from her growing up with hearing loss and being treated differently because of it. “Because hearing loss is an invisible disorder, people make assumptions when they encounter someone with hearing loss,” she said. “They

are deemed less intelligent, less informed, less capable, and even antisocial.” Addressing the impact of the pandemic on patients, especially those in assisted facilities, Wiser said, “In addition to the higher risk of complications, they are more isolated. A woman who came to our office a couple of weeks ago could not get her hearing aids in because her nails were too long. I ended up giving her a manicure because she was not allowed to go to a salon. It made me wonder how

many other scenarios are limiting their ability to carry out basic tasks and I offered to give an in-service to the staff on hearing aid maintenance.” The article concludes with Wiser’s optimistic outlook “Two unexpected, but positive, things have come from this pandemic,” she said. “First, due to the effects of masks on speech, people with normal hearing are becoming more aware of the challenges of living with even a slight hearing impediment. As a result, some are becoming more

sensitive to people with hearing loss. “The second is that patients are much more appreciative of in-office care. Video consults, remote programming, manufacturer hotlines, and even curbside services are not sufficient. People need to be treated in person to get the full benefit of their hearing aids and our services.” To learn more about Beaufort Audiology & Hearing Care, visit www.beauforthearing.com or www.facebook. com/Beaufortaudiology.

Augusta University to Open Imaging, Pediatric Multispecialty Clinics

To better serve patients, Augusta University is opening a new care center on Wheeler Road. The new building at 3722 Wheeler Road — less than a mile from I-20 — will house two clinics: AU Health Imaging and Children’s Hospital of Georgia Pediatric Multispecialty. “We put (AU Health Imaging) here to make it more

convenient for people in the larger metropolitan area and surrounding communities, including Columbia County,” said Dr. Annette Johnson, chair of the department of radiology and imaging. “So we positioned the new center just off of I-20, right on the Richmond-Columbia County line.” The independent diagnostic testing facility will offer expanded imaging services

with a radiologist on site. It includes two MRIs, a CT scanner, two ultrasound machines, a 3D mammogram machine, X-ray and DEXA, which measures bone density. The pediatric multispecialty clinic will offer a variety of subspecialties in one convenient location. Services include pediatric neurology, pediatric nephrology, pediatric hematology, pediatric cardi-

ology, pediatric pulmonology, pediatric endocrinology, and pediatric GI. “It will have the same Children’s Hospital of Georgia-level care, just in a different location that is aiming to better serve patients and make it more efficient for them,” said Dr. Valera Hudson, chair of the department of pediatrics at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.

The imaging clinic will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the pediatric clinic will be open 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. 706-721-5437. info@augusta.edu. Augusta University is Georgia’s innovation center for education and health care, training the next generation of innovators, leaders and healthcare providers in classrooms and clinics on four campuses in Augusta and locations

across the state. More than 9,000 students choose Augusta for educational opportunities at the center of Georgia’s new cybersecurity hub, and experiential learning that blends arts and application, humanities and the health sciences. Augusta is home to Georgia's only public academic health center, where groundbreaking research is creating a healthier, more prosperous Georgia and world-class clinicians are bringing the medicine of tomorrow to patient care today. augusta. edu augustahealth.org

Lesser-known symptoms of breast cancer Public perception that breast cancer only identified by lumps detected through self-examination or routine mammography may prevent thousands of women from receiving an early diagnosis and the care they need. Although lumps are the most common symptom associated with the disease, women should recognize that breast cancer can produce additional symptoms. Susan G. Komen for the Cure, one of the premier organizations for breast cancer research, advocacy and treatment, advises that the warning signs for breast cancer are not the same for all women (or men). Various changes in the breast and body can occur, including the following conditions. • Breast-size changes: Many left and right breasts are not completely symmetrical, and women familiar with their bodies know that one breast is often slightly larger than the other. However, breast-size changes that occur out of the blue may be indicative of a medical problem.

be felt in the breasts. Breast cancer can spread to the lymph nodes around the breasts, and lumps may be felt under the arms. • Unexplained pain: The Mayo Clinic advises that less than 10 percent of people diagnosed with breast cancer report pain as a symptom. But unexplained pain in an area of the breast should not be

• Skin rash or redness: Women who are breastfeeding can experience a rash on the breasts from an infection of breast tissue. But those who are not breastfeeding should be evaluated by a doctor if redness, irritation or rash appears. • Nipple changes: Nipple discharge that starts suddenly and is not associated with breastfeeding can be indica-

tive of cancer. Other changes to the nipples, such as pulling in of the nipple (inversion) or itchy, scaling skin on the nipple, should be brought to the attention of a doctor. • Changes to the skin: Dimpling of the skin, peeling, flaking, or scaling skin can be a cause for concern as well. • Lumps elsewhere: Cancerous tumors may not only

But remember that hormonal breast changes occur during the menstrual cycle, so it’s best to be familiar with how breasts look and feel both during and after menstruation.

LOWCOUNTRY OUTDOORS Opening the Door to Nature

FAIR WEATHER FISHING

October means tailing redfish

ctober is an excellent time for fly fishing some of the spring tides. If you are new to the Lowcountry you may have heard the term “a spring tide” and assumed it occurs seasonally. Actually, spring tides occur every month for several days around each full moon and new moon. That’s when the high tides are higher and the lows are lower. Except for some of the extreme cases, these tides often create special fly fishing opportunities: sight casting for tailing redfish. But that’s more like the end of the story. Let’s back up and see just where, when and why in the world redfish occasionally want to stick their little tails plumb up out of the water and sometimes even vigorously wave them back and forth, noisily sloshing water all around as though beckoning any nearby predator. And this is only done by certain reds, and they only do it at certain times. And it doesn’t happen just anywhere, but only in certain types of marsh. If you think that’s a rather oddball thing for a fish to do, I did too the first time I saw it some forty years ago. “Doggone,” I thought. “Better look into this.” With just a casual glance all the marsh looks pretty much the same. I mean, there’s a lot of grass, a lot of mud at low tide, lots of water at high tide and miles of channels among the hummocks and islands. Many of these waterways are deep enough for a shallow draft boat at low tide, so let’s take a virtual fishing trip during one six-hour tide change, from low water to high, and find out a little more about what’s going on. It’s first light and we’ve quietly brought our boat to a

stop in a small channel along the edge of a low tide flat, a broad expanse of bare mud appearing essentially flat but actually rising ever so subtly in the direction away from the water and toward the land. The tree line is about a half mile distant. As the light comes on we see there’s a lot more to it. Across the flat we see mounds of oyster beds forming a barrier-like line. Directly behind the oysters we see rather tall, thick-bladed marsh grass. This grass grows in the soft mud. In many, maybe even most areas this tall, thick grass and soft mud extend from the oyster beds all the way back to land. But not here. Here is different. Here is special. Here is redfish Nirvana because beyond this tall grass we see a very large area of shorter, finer grass all the way to the line of oaks at high ground. This grass grows in firmer, sandier soil and that is where tons of fiddler crabs live. And this short grass area only floods on spring tides. We’re looking at a “Goldilocks” high tide flat. Here, when the high tide is not too much and not too little, but when it’s just right, more or less knee deep, redfish will do just about anything, including pirouettes on their noses to eat a bunch of fiddler crabs. As the tide comes in over this short grass flat the reds will come with it. So will we. The tide starts in. As it covers the low tide mud flat we

As the water gets deeper the schools often break out into smaller groups and prowl around the oyster beds and along the tall grass edge. We may see flashes of sunlight reflected off their sides as they twist and turn. As we pole through the tall grass we notice that the bird life which began with the big wading birds on the mud flat is changing to the redwing black birds and the more secretive green herons and clapper rails and, in my experience, the much less common little black rails. We’re just going with the flow. We’re caravanning with the reds to their fiddler’s picnic. We expect to find juvenile reds on the short grass high tide flats, about twenty to thirty inches and up to maybe ten pounds. The yearlings are more secure in schools around the cover of

deeper structure and most of the adults have gone to the spawning grounds and typically stayed offshore. Reasonable expectations are about three to five pound fish. About four hours into the flood there’s enough water for the reds to start hunting. There’s enough for us to do the same. We quietly pole the boat into position and just watch for a while. It’s about two hours until high water. We’ll have a three to four hour window, about two hours either side of high. We’re looking for singles. As they come up onto the shallow, high tide flat they usually spread out. Comparing this scene to when we started, about six acres of water is turning into about six hundred acres in about six hours. The sun is bright. The wind is light. A fine day even if the reds don’t cooperate. But they will. Optimism springs eternal in the souls of

fly fishers. Redfish have a severe overbite with thick, tough lips. They have three powerful constrictor muscles in their throats with bone-like ribbing. They half swallow their prey and then crush it. They can crush any crab they can get their mouths around, even a stone crab, but they consider the little fiddler crabs a special delicacy. When a fiddler senses one of these crab eating machines has come into its domain, the music stops. The crab starts digging to China. The red will plant its mouth over the burrow and start twisting, turning and digging, trying to suck the crab out of the sand, head down and tail up, vigorously waving that broad tail for better traction: a tailing redfish. Sometimes you hear it before you see it, like someone just turned on a washing machine.

We quietly pole the boat within range and cast a crab-like pattern a little beyond the fish, and then let it sink and strip it back in short, fiddler crab crawly motions close enough for the red to see it in all the commotion and cloudy water he’s stirred up. It doesn’t always work. If we see a few, manage to cast to half of them and catch and release one or two we’ve done well. Good luck. And I hope you’ll send me a picture of your next tailing redfish.

From staff reports The Friends of Port Royal Cypress Wetlands, in conjunction with the Town of Port Royal, are pleased to announce the production of the Rookery Roots Video Series – Discover and Learn the Treasures of the Cypress Wetlands With Host Dr. Chris Marsh. This sequence of short videos begins with four episodes filmed on location at the Rookery in Port Royal. Chris Marsh, the Executive Director of the LowCountry Institute Spring Island Trust since 1998 completed his B.S. in Zoology from N.C. State

University and completed a PhD in Zoology from Oregon State. He went on to be a biology professor at Coastal Carolina University where he taught ornithology, ecology and animal behavior until he moved to Port Royal. He coordinates the management and education programs for both the Spring Island Trust and LowCountry Institute. Marsh was one of the originators in creating the Cypress Wetlands. The first episode of Rookery Roots is “Welcome to the Rookery!” where Marsh will introduce us to the Cy-

press Wetlands and explain its history in becoming an attraction for many and their appreciation of wildlife. Future videos will include “Life in the Wetlands” and others will follow. Filmed beautifully on location at the Wetlands by SK Designs owner Shawn Hill, this is a can’t miss series for all to enjoy while learning about the wetlands and the Low Country wildlife that inhabits there. Watch through the Port Royal website or the Friends of Port Royal Cypress Wetland Facebook Page for future schedules.

Online platforms to assist students with college searches, applications From staff reports Beaufort County School District students can now use a pair of online platforms to virtually visit hundreds of colleges, complete their college applications and send their high school transcripts electronically. The district’s high school counselors have been trained on both new systems and will be conducting workshops for students and parents. “These terrific online platforms will let students explore their options and find colleges that best fit their

academic interests and personal preferences,” Beaufort County School District Director of School Counseling Geri Henderson said. “Students can search for information about colleges, sign up for college rep visits at their schools, keep track of data needed for college applications, research career paths, send information to colleges and communicate with college representatives.” The first online platform – SCOIR (pronounced “score”) can bring hundreds of colleges to life for students us-

Beaufort County school counselors will schedule college representatives’ visits to their high schools and post that information in SCOIR so students can stay informed and will plan for upcoming guest

speakers and college campus tours. SCOIR also streamlines the process of requesting, processing, sending and tracking the electronic delivery of all application-related documents. SCOIR also provides useful financial calculators so students and parents can de-

termine the likely cost of attendance at different colleges and consider their affordability when deciding where to apply. Using SCOIR, students can inform their high school counselors which colleges they’re interested in and where they have applied. “Everything is available on one site, which will greatly simplify the process and reduce confusion and stress for students and their parents,” Henderson said. The second online platform, Parchment, will allow district high school students

to request and send their official high school academic transcripts electronically. Henderson said students can expect faster turnaround times for transcript ordering, enhanced tracking, the capability to order from any smartphone and the option to pay with a credit card. The Parchment platform will replace the Naviance system after that six-year contract expired in August. The South Carolina Department of Education has partnered with Parchment, and the program is free to districts throughout the state.

USCB’s new Sigma chapter seeks nurse leaders

The University of South Carolina’s School of Nursing welcomes applicants to its new Alpha Alpha Omicron chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society of Nursing. USC Beaufort will hold a virtual chartering and induction

ceremony at 4 p.m. on Nov. 20. Current Sigma members who joined elsewhere may add this chapter to their membership or may transfer membership. The university also seeks community Sigma Nurse Leaders to join. Nurse Leaders are nurses who: • hold a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent in any field; • demonstrate achievement

in Beaufort. Campbell was part of an EECC student team who worked together to help support the ongoing work of Dragonfly's India partner, Applied Environmental Research Foundation (AERF), a registered non-governmental organization based in Pune, India, working towards biodiversity conservation at the grass root level through stakeholder engagement. The team wrote an origi-

The story helps create a connection for children to inquire more about their own backyard and for teachers to be able to use it to support their curricula; it also helps connect younger generations to AERF's conservation work. AERF works through five programs in two biodiversity hot spots within India. Applied research welded with

active local participation forms the core strategy in all of the Foundation's programs. The Foundation aims to address the biological diversity loss of a region by building sustainable development models that would also benefit the areas' local populace. AERF operates through a strong network of organizations. More information about AERF can be found at http://www.aerfindia.org.

EDUCATION & SPORTS THA rallies late to escape BA with tough win

Warriors roll to shutout win over Islanders

LowcoSports.com If the first meeting on the gridiron between Thomas Heyward Academy and Beaufort Academy was any indication, a new rivalry is brewing. Thomas Heyward’s JR Patterson scored his second rushing touchdown of the night with just more than a minute left, and Bruzza Pusha added the two-point conversion to allow the visiting Rebels to escape with a hardfought 16-14 victory over the upstart Eagles on Friday. The Rebels struck first on Patterson’s first touchdown of the night and a two-point conversion, but BA’s Ja’Sean Lawson answered with a TD run, and Braydon Dineen hooked up with Kevin Rogers to tie it at 8, which is where it stood at halftime. Carlos Jones gave the Eagles a 14-8 lead in the third quarter, and BA’s stingy defense was able to hold the lead until the final minutes, when the Rebels shifted Pusha to a wildcat role and put together the winning drive. THA (4-1) travels to John Paul II next Friday, while BA (3-2) returns to region play at Hilton Head Prep.

By Gabriel Jenkins The Whale Branch Warriors rolled out their new turf field in style with a 33-0 shutout of the visiting St. John’s Islanders in their Region 6-1A debut Friday. Quarterback Jaylen Reeves racked up 210 yards on 13 carries and scored four touchdowns, and Jadon Grant added a touchdown run for the Warriors, who led 27-0 at halftime after waiting out a first-half lightning delay. The Warriors defense had an excellent night, causing havoc in the backfield and creating three fumbles and two interceptions. Reeves came up with one of the picks, as he and the Warriors had a very productive night on both sides of the ball. Mason Griffin also had a pick, and Ray Pryor, Jaylen Roberts, and Joseph Hicks all recovered fumbles. On the other side, the Islanders struggled to get anything going on offense. The Warrior defense had an answer for everything St. John’s threw at them and limited the Islanders’ big plays. The Warriors ran the ball

SC Codes launches free React Applications online programming course From staff reports SC Codes, a statewide program aimed at providing free access to code education, has launched a new online programming course titled “React Applications.” It’s one of many free courses available on the SC Codes platform aimed at helping upskill the workforce and fill the void of unfilled technology jobs in

South Carolina. According to CompTIA, employment in the tech industry in S.C. expanded by more than 5,000 jobs in 2019 and the tech sector represents 6 percent of our state’s economy. Additionally there were more than 34,000 tech job postings during 2019 bringing the current tech employment numbers in S.C. to just

more than 130,000. The React Applications course was created as the platform’s first intermediate-level course, meant to teach students the basics of the React framework through hands-on experience with projects. With guidance from our mentors, students will also begin building their portfolio during the React

Applications course, which will ultimately provide them the opportunity to showcase their skills to employers. “React is an extremely popular JavaScript framework, and one that is being used by more and more tech companies throughout the state and nation” said program director Kaity Miller. “We are confident that this course will pre-

The Battery Creek volleyball team put together a dominant effort against visiting North Charleston on Tuesday at the Palace, sweeping the Cougars 3-0 (25-6, 25-5, 25-7) in Region 8-3A play.

Battery Creek then rattled off two separate runs of seven consecutive points, which helped end the first set 25-6. In the second stanza, McCullough notched seven consecutive aces during a 12-0 run to help BCHS take a commanding lead. Fittingly, the stanza ended with another ace, ending in favor of the Dolphins, 25-5. The final frame saw Battery Creek jump out to another large lead, at one point being up by 15.

Dolphins rout Raptors in Ashe’s head coaching debut By Brackin Lambert Terrance Ashe couldn’t stop smiling after the clock showed zeroes following Battery Creek’s 45-7 victory over Academic Magnet on Friday night at Dolphin Stadium. It was Battery Creek’s first seasoning-opening win since 2014. “It’s great,” Ashe said. “You know, I’m just really happy for our players.” The Dolphins got started early in the first quarter, as Jeremiah Dillbert ripped off a 35-yard TD run, giving the Dolphins a 7-0 lead. Jaevon Allen followed with a powerful TD run from 15 yards out, and then leapt high to intercept a pass on the ensuing possession and weaved through traffic to take it to the house from 60 yards out,

giving Creek a 21-0 lead. BCHS kept it going in the second quarter, as Jacove Anderson hit Justin Smalls on a swing pass and Smalls took it 25 yards to the pylon for the TD. A fake punt from 62 yards out turned into a touchdown for the Raptors, but the Dolphins quickly regained their four-score lead with Anderson’s 3-yard TD run, making the score 35-7. Battery Creek wasn’t done yet, as Anderson threw a beautiful 59-yard touchdown pass to Alex Frazier as the first-half clock expired. Following a lighting delay, the two teams returned to the field to complete the game. Ivan Huerta wrapped up the scoring with a 45-yard field goal. “We strongly believe

Battery Creek’s Jacove Anderson, right, carries the ball during the first half of the season-opening game. you’ve got to establish the run game and you have to

be able to stop the opposing teams’ run game,” Ashe said.

“So just to see those guys run is cool.” The run game couldn’t have been as successful without the offensive line. “You know the offensive line did a really good job of opening up those holes,” Ashe said, “so definitely want to talk about those guys.” The Dolphins will have a tough task ahead of them next Friday when they travel to Hanahan. “We’ve got to clean up a few of the mistakes on both sides of the ball,” Ashe said. “Art Craig is going to have his kids well-coached and we’ll have to clean up some of the mistakes we had tonight, but ultimately if they go out there and play hard next week it should be a good game.”

John Paul II couldn’t land the knockout blow Thursday night against visiting Pinewood Prep, allowing a 20-point first-half lead to slip away in a 37-33 defeat. Jeremiah Young rushed for 163 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown, and went 11-for-18 for 217 yards with three TDs and two interceptions, but the Panthers were able to keep the Golden Warriors off the scoreboard in the second half to rally for the win. JPII got its passing game off the ground early, as Young hooked up for long touchdown passes to Mark Knight and Malone Kinard-Huisinger, as well as a 26-yard TD pass to Jackson Ogden en route to a 33-13 lead late in the second quarter. The Panthers turned the tide with a score before the half and clawed within 33-27 in the third quarter. The Golden Warriors were unable to put together a sustained drive to put it away, and Pinewood rallied in the final quarter. Knight had four catches for 95 yards and a score, and Kinard-Huisinger added five grabs for 81 yards and a TD. Austin McIntosh collected seven tackles (three for loss) with two sacks and three fumble recoveries to lead the defense, and he added a rushing touchdown in the second quarter. Hayden Jennings had a team-high 11 tackles (two for loss), Michael Carbone added nine tackles and forced a fumble, and Peter Hughes had seven tackles (one for loss). JPII (1-3) hosts Thomas Heyward at 7 p.m. next Friday.

met a woman named Gwen outside of the Keyserling Cancer Center. As we were standing there waiting, we introduced ourselves to one another. We started to talk about the people coming out and the miracles going on inside. As we spoke, she told me about the cancer she had more than 32 years ago. The cancer treatments back then were so different. She was told after the surgery and radiation treatments that she probably would never be able to have children, but low and behold she had a daughter. The baby girl weighed only 2 pounds and

was delivered at six and a half months, but she survived. Gwen called her the miracle baby. But she also said it was not the doctors but God and her prayers that gave her that baby girl. We then talked about how important a belief in God

is when going through bad times, but also being thankful during those good times. The more Gwen and I talked, the more different our backgrounds had been. She was born and raised in Beaufort County. She had her grandmother in the car, and they were waiting for her aunt to come out. I, however, am one of the Northern retirees who fell in love with the area and have no family nearby. Gwen lives in an area where her family are all around her. Where people help each other out and drive family members to cancer treatments. I told her I lived on one of those sea islands

with people who have worked all their lives and come to Beaufort to retire. But I told her, they do not stop working. Then I asked her if she was familiar with the Christmas and Easter baskets that the Keyserling Center gets each year. She said she knew of them. I told her the people on my island put those together. I told her about the people picking up the trash along Sea Island Parkway. She said, “You mean the ones that fill those orange bags.” “Yes,” I said. “They live on my island.” The residents volunteer for Second Helpings, Habitat

for Humanity, and too many other non-profits to list here. The more I talked, the more I think she understood that the people that come here from all over the country have the same strong community sense, just like she has in her neighborhood. In the end, my ride came, and I said goodbye to Gwen and waived to Grandma. Despite our differences, we were able to connect on so many levels. We had discussed our faith, our daughters, our jobs, cancer, and our love of our community. There was no discussion of race, or religious denomination, or the animosity in the

world. Just two women enjoying each other’s company. Then I smiled knowing that right now there is an African American Police Officer working in Charleston and helping to keep her community safe. She would not be here, if it were not for places like Keyserling Center and a mother named Gwen who had a strong belief in God.

I’ve had to re-evaluate everything I believed to be true

t is Saturday, early, and I’m in Port Royal. This morning I’ve got the Wall Street Journal and its “Review” insert. “Review” is something I normally read on Tuesday. But in these pandemic-delayed times I’m getting “Review” a full week after publication. But it doesn’t matter. I’m happy to have today’s book reviews which include “Caste, the Origins of Our Discontent” and “The Saddest Words: William Faulkner’s Civil War.” Let’s start with William Faulkner and the question, “Should we consider the novelist in the current period of racial reckoning … or should we study solely the fiction he created, fiction in which characters both black and white illuminate race rela-

SCOTT GRABER

tions in this country, fiction that portrays these relations with more nuance than almost any comparable work from the first half of the 20th century?” While Faulkner wrote with nuance and “genuinely detested racial inequality,” he believed in “gradualism” — that if desegregation happened too quickly it would bring social chaos. And it’s Faulkner’s gradualism that is clearly on the block in Isabelle Wilkerson’s book, “Caste, the Origins of Our Discontent.”

Wilkerson does not directly address “justice delayed is justice denied;” rather she dumps race-based injustice into a new category called “caste” — which she calls “a fixed and embedded ranking of human value that sets the supremacy of one group against the presumed inferiority of other groups on the basis on ancestry.” This “fixed and embedded ranking of human value” definition distinguishes caste from plain-vanilla discrimination based on physical fear or the loss of power. “Fixed and embedded” is a throwback to Nazi ideology, genetic inferiority and is a darker, more permanent kind of evilness. Faulkner confronted slavery and discrimination by writing about it throughout his novels.

“Throughout the 1930s and into the 1940s, his novels and stories grapple more and more with the legacy of slavery and the reality of Jim Crow. Slavery is typically portrayed in Faulkner’s fiction as Greek tragedy, an agonized drama in which rape, incest and illegitimate offspring end up deforming and destroying a family.” Here we have a man, a Southern icon, writing about the pernicious consequences of the slave trade and the people descendant of the slavers. Here we have written-down reflection, and soul-searing candor, coming out of Mississippi in the 1930s. Of course, William Faulkner was flawed — as most of us are flawed — saying that if Federal troops were (again) sent into the South to enforce integration, “I’d fight for Mississippi against the United States even if it meant going out into the streets and shooting Negroes.” So maybe William Faulkner fits into Wilkerson’s definition of caste — “a fixed and embedded ranking of human value” from which

neither Faulkner nor any other white person can ever escape. But Michael Gorra, the author of “Saddest Words,” thinks otherwise. “In order to create convincing fiction, it was necessary for him to imaginatively become each of his characters, to enact what Henry James once called the novelist’s imperative of ‘trying to see the other side as well as his own, to feel what his adversary feels, and to present his view of the case.’ ” Gorra believes that when writing, Faulkner “was able to suspend his prejudices and even to dramatize and to feel those prejudices as they impinged on others … he inhabited those beliefs by inhabiting another person. Then he saw them clearly, and in that act he became better than he was.” For the last 50 years I have written newspaper columns and (largely) unread novels. But If one writes one also reads. Chronic reading has become an addictive adjunct to my existence. In the course of that disorder — that patho-

logical desire to read every serious novel, every biography and pamphlet straying into my line of vision — I’ve had to re-evaluate everything I believed to be true. Much of that re-evaluation has had to do with slavery and the role that my own ancestors played in that practice. Re-thinking took me, with my wife Susan, across the South cataloging heirs property and to the loss of black farmland. It has taken me to Ile de Goree in Senegal, the Birmingham Civil Rights Museum, the Legacy Museum in Montgomery and, most recently, to the “lynching memorial” in that same city. All of which left me mumbling, “What the Hell were they thinking?” Alas, this long, painful journey has not diminished my love for my southern mother, for my Florence County grandparents, or for the small, flawed geography of my birth — South Carolina.

Beaufort delegation delivers in statehouse, on shores of Port Royal Sound

By S.C. Senator Chip Campsen and S.C. Representative Shannon Erickson

he Beaufort County Legislative Delegation showcased its extraordinary ability to get things done during the two-week abbreviated session of the General Assembly that ended Thursday, Sept. 24. In the waning days of the 2020 legislative session, the Beaufort Delegation played major roles in shepherding legislation through the General Assembly that: 1. Postpones for one-year the Dec. 31, 2020, deadline for local governments to complete comprehensive land use plans. We worked with Beaufort County Councilman Paul Somerville on this policy since COVID-19 has impeded the public input vital to the planning process. The change enables Beaufort County and other local governments across South Carolina to produce comprehensive plans that will enhance our quality of life. The amendment was attached to a Senate bill co-sponsored by Senator Campsen that authorizes the use of local hospitality tax revenue for flood mitigation – another important policy prescription in the flood-

prone Lowcountry. 2. Extends the period property owners have to redeem properties sold at tax sales, from one year to two. This helps property owners struggling financially during the pandemic to keep their property. It is especially important for heirs property owners. We worked with Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls to get the policy right. 3. Establishes a state Resiliency Office and Resiliency Fund to manage, finance and mitigate nuisance flooding, storm surge and sea level rise. 4. Authorizes voters to vote via the regular absentee voting process during the general election due to the COVID-19 state of emergency – just like we did for the primary. This level of success at the tail-end of the legislative session is virtually unheard of. It is attributable to the experience, seniority and comity among delegation members, and our close working relationships with Beaufort County officials and Governor Henry McMaster. We worked as a team – and delivered for Beaufort County. We extend our sincere appreciation to our colleagues, Senators Tom Davis and Marjorie Bright-Matthews; and Representatives Weston

Newton, Michael Rivers, Bill Herbkersman, Shedron Williams, and last but not least our Chairman Jeff Bradley. Beaufort’s final victory came from beyond the House and Senate Chambers in Columbia. It occurred on the shores of Port Royal Sound. We have worked for months with Councilman Paul Somerville and others in opposition to the development of Bay Point. Thursday – on the last day of the Legislative Session – the Beaufort County Zoning Board of Appeals rejected the developers Special Use Permit application. This effectively stopped the development. In rejecting the application, the Board cited our Aug. 19 letter (https://bit. ly/36dMh2O) as establishing reasonable cause to reject the development plan. One of the last remaining undeveloped Lowcountry barrier islands will remain in its pristine state. It was a good couple of weeks for Beaufort County. We consider ourselves blessed to have been part of it. Senator Chip Campsen (R-District 43) represents Beaufort, Colleton and Charleston counties in the South Carolina Senate. Representative Shannon Erickson (R-District 124) represents Beaufort County in the South Carolina House of Representatives.

SCETV to premiere ‘Gullah Roots’ documentary Thursday Film follows members of the Gullah Geechee community as they experience a homecoming in Sierra Leone

Carolina and Georgia Gullah Geechee community as they experience a homecoming in Sierra Leone – Thursday, Oct. 1. The trip to Sierra Leone took place last winter and included Gullah Geechee scholars, performers and cultural ambassadors, such as Anita Singleton Prather, also known as Aunt Pearlie Sue of the Gullah Kinfolk, and Ron and Natalie Daise, as well as Victoria Smalls, a commissioner of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor.

From staff reports South Carolina ETV (SCETV) will be premiering a new hour-long documentary film entitled Gullah Roots – it follows leaders of the South

While touring the country, members of the group noted powerful connections between Sierra Leone and the Gullah Geechee people. For example, in one village, Nakia Wigfall, director of the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Preservation Society, sewed a sweetgrass basket with a local basket maker. Part of SCETV’s Carolina Stories series and achieved with support from South Carolina Humanities, Gullah Roots dives deep into South Carolina’s ties with West Af-

rica, educating viewers about Gullah heritage, including spiritual, musical and artistic traditions. A sequel to SCETV’s 1990 documentary Family Across the Sea, this project was produced by Betsy Newman and Xavier Blake, and directed, written and edited by Newman. The film aims to raise awareness about the Gullah Geechee community and its ties to West Africa. It also examines the challenges many in that community face today and the prog-

ress they have made since the first homecoming to Sierra Leone 30 years ago. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to document this significant journey. We hope the film will help to educate our viewers about the Gullah Geechee people and their ties to West Africa and the contributions of African Americans to our country’s history and culture.” Newman said. In addition to its premiere on Oct. 1, Gullah Roots will also be airing at 2 p.m. Sun-

day, Oct. 4 on ETV World and at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5 on the South Carolina Channel. To celebrate the debut of this project, SCETV and the ETV Endowment of South Carolina will be hosting a film screening event at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6 at the Highway 21 Drive-In in Beaufort. The event is open to the public. Additional information and a registration link can be found on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite. com/e/gullah-roots-screening-tickets-121413969451.

Our Story Growing up outside of Las Vegas, Brian Fackrell was often up to no good. This prompted his mother to jokingly refer to him as that Rotten Little Bastard. Many years later, when Brian and his wife and kids moved to the verdant Lowcountry of South Carolina from the Nevada desert, they not only found a new home, but a new lifestyle. This big city worldliness meets relaxed southern charm is reflected in the quality of each handcrafted bottle of spirits from Rotten Little Bastard Distillery. Local products are used to create our spirits, while sustainable packaging shows our family’s commitment to the future. At our Distillery, you will be treated like an old friend and that comfortable Lowcountry relaxed feeling will follow you home in every bottle. Beaufort residents since 2003; RLB is family owned and operated. Our Craft Distillery uses local ingredients, made in the USA bottle, and we partner with Whippoorwill Farms in Ridgeland they take our spent mash and feed it to pigs and chickens. You can take a tour of the Distillery and we offer Tasting Tours for $10, which includes a free shot glass. Afterwards, you can buy a bottle of our Vodka, Moonshine And Bourbon. People can taste our spirits and get a behind the scenes look at how its made.
