Alzheimer’s Family Services hosts 6th Annual Dinner Theatre, featuring three “unreliables”… and Ron Daise. Remember all those stories you lived and  probably even shared with friends about growing up in Beaufort? Remember  the stories about when Mizu was the Pig gy Park, and going to the Greenlawn Drive-In, the Breeze Theatre or the Shack? Remember when Koth’s was the place to go for boiled peanuts or Pruitt’s Grocery Store on Rib aut Road was where you went after school to turn in your soda bottles for a refund and a handful of penny candy?

Naturalist and photographer Marvin Bouknight will speak at the Photography Club of Beaufort on June 11th.  Using his outstanding images and knowledge of our environment, Marvin will inspire photographers how to become part of nature as they try to capture the flora and fauna of the  Lowcountry through their lenses.

Student poster contest honors H2O… Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority held its annual Poster Contest this Spring, in conjunction with the American Water Works Association’s Drinking Water Week.

The Bullying Thing When I was growing up, some people were mean to me and I was mean to some people. It hurt, and sure, I went home from school crying some days, and sometimes, other people went home crying because of something I did or said. But that was just kid-life. Since when did bullying become a THING, a THING that was newsworthy, law-worthy (really, we can outlaw bullying?), and, most troublingly, leads to so many young people’s deaths? What is going on that kid-on-kid misbehavior now is a not uncommon cause of self-inflicted death? Ron, Texas
