Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, and attorney Eric Bland — talk about Mandy and David's trip to Charleston for yet another federal sentencing hearing of a rich South Carolina attorney. This time it was for Hilton Head attorney Peter Strauss, whose license to practice is on interim suspension... as of Monday, February 24, 2025....

In a Beaufort County courtroom just a mile from the picturesque Lowcountry waterfront where his downfall began, former prominent lawyer Alex Murdaugh received a 27-year prison sentence for a series of financial crimes that shook South Carolina. The sentencing marked a somber end to a saga that had gripped the state, leaving victims grappling with betrayal and unanswered questions. The sentencing was a culmination of the legal proceedings that unfolded in Charleston, Columbia, Walterboro, and York, involving cases of fraud victims in Allendale, Bamberg, and Orangeburg. The charges against Murdaugh ranged from embezzlement to theft, resulting in the loss of millions for individuals who had placed their trust in him during their most vulnerable moments. Judge Clifton Newman, addressing Murdaugh, remarked, "I don't know that you know yourself. Hopefully, something will emerge within your spirit, within your soul." Unlike his life sentences for murder, Murdaugh's prison term is non-appealable under the terms of his plea deal, ensuring he remains incarcerated until his mid-70s. During the sentencing hearing, victims confronted Murdaugh, expressing their pain and confusion over his actions. Jordan Jinks, a childhood friend, asked, "What kind of animal are you?" Pamela Pinckney offered forgiveness but expressed her disbelief, saying, "I never thought you would do me the way you did me." Ginger Hadwin, a former classmate, questioned how Murdaugh could steal from her nephews after her sister had helped raise his children as the family's housekeeper. Initially offering short responses, Murdaugh gradually softened and expressed gratitude for forgiveness. He later spoke to the court, addressing his victims for nearly an hour, admitting his deception and expressing regret. He pledged to make amends in the future, acknowledging their trust in him. However, Murdaugh's legal battles are far from over. He vehemently denies the murder charges related to his wife and younger son, and his financial crime sentence has no bearing on these convictions. He faces additional sentencing for nearly two dozen financial crimes in federal court and pending state charges related to an alleged suicide plot in 2021. Moreover, the division of Murdaugh's known assets remains unresolved, with over a dozen people filing claims totaling at least $100 million. Negotiations are ongoing to determine where to allocate the last $1.8 million of his remaining assets. In a rare display of remorse, Murdaugh apologized to his surviving son, Buster, for tarnishing the family name "on social media and in the media" and damaging the reputation of the century-old law firm his family had founded. He wanted to move on and make those who love him proud again. However, it appears that Murdaugh's family has distanced themselves from him, as none of them were present in Beaufort for his sentencing. Alex Murdaugh's fall from grace, once a scion of a prominent legal dynasty, is a stark reminder of the consequences of financial misconduct, leaving a trail of shattered trust and unanswered questions.

In a Beaufort County courtroom just a mile from the picturesque Lowcountry waterfront where his downfall began, former prominent lawyer Alex Murdaugh received a 27-year prison sentence for a series of financial crimes that shook South Carolina. The sentencing marked a somber end to a saga that had gripped the state, leaving victims grappling with betrayal and unanswered questions. The sentencing was a culmination of the legal proceedings that unfolded in Charleston, Columbia, Walterboro, and York, involving cases of fraud victims in Allendale, Bamberg, and Orangeburg. The charges against Murdaugh ranged from embezzlement to theft, resulting in the loss of millions for individuals who had placed their trust in him during their most vulnerable moments. Judge Clifton Newman, addressing Murdaugh, remarked, "I don't know that you know yourself. Hopefully, something will emerge within your spirit, within your soul." Unlike his life sentences for murder, Murdaugh's prison term is non-appealable under the terms of his plea deal, ensuring he remains incarcerated until his mid-70s. During the sentencing hearing, victims confronted Murdaugh, expressing their pain and confusion over his actions. Jordan Jinks, a childhood friend, asked, "What kind of animal are you?" Pamela Pinckney offered forgiveness but expressed her disbelief, saying, "I never thought you would do me the way you did me." Ginger Hadwin, a former classmate, questioned how Murdaugh could steal from her nephews after her sister had helped raise his children as the family's housekeeper. Initially offering short responses, Murdaugh gradually softened and expressed gratitude for forgiveness. He later spoke to the court, addressing his victims for nearly an hour, admitting his deception and expressing regret. He pledged to make amends in the future, acknowledging their trust in him. However, Murdaugh's legal battles are far from over. He vehemently denies the murder charges related to his wife and younger son, and his financial crime sentence has no bearing on these convictions. He faces additional sentencing for nearly two dozen financial crimes in federal court and pending state charges related to an alleged suicide plot in 2021. Moreover, the division of Murdaugh's known assets remains unresolved, with over a dozen people filing claims totaling at least $100 million. Negotiations are ongoing to determine where to allocate the last $1.8 million of his remaining assets. In a rare display of remorse, Murdaugh apologized to his surviving son, Buster, for tarnishing the family name "on social media and in the media" and damaging the reputation of the century-old law firm his family had founded. He wanted to move on and make those who love him proud again. However, it appears that Murdaugh's family has distanced themselves from him, as none of them were present in Beaufort for his sentencing.

The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
The legal maneuvering never ceases where Alex Murdaugh is concerned. This week, Murdaugh attorney Dick Harpootlian is once again raising concerns that his client won't be able to get a fair jury trial due to media attention when the Satterfield fraud and money laundering case goes to court on November 27 in Beaufort County. Harpootlian says a sampling of responses from potential jurors on pre-trial questionnaires show Murdaugh might find it impossible in "beautiful Beaufort by the sea" to find a juror who's a blank slate. Harpootlian now wants the case moved out of not only Beaufort, but of the Lowcountry entirely. A hearing on the issue is set for Friday, November 18, at 10 a.m. in Beaufort County.Meantime, we still don't know what'll happen with respect to Murdaugh's petition to the Supreme Court asking that they bar presiding Judge Clifton Newman from overseeing any more Murdaugh cases. This legal limbo hangs over the Attorney General's office responding to Murdaugh's request for a retrial in his murder case on jury tampering charges. Clerk of Court Becky Hill now claims the accusations against her are false, and the AG's Office takes the bold stance that Murdaugh despite scandalous claims doesn't actually have a credible claim to stand on.Join Anne Emerson, former S.C. Attorney General Charlie Condon and producer Drew Tripp as they analyze everything new in the world of Murdaugh.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Beaufort County residents will head to the polls this Election Day and vote for a $439 million School Bond Referendum.

This episode features excerpts of an interview with attorney Claude R. Wheatly, Jr. from Beaufort County. Wheatly was licensed to practice law in 1941 but postponed his legal career to enlist in the U.S. Army after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor later that year. Post WWII, he returned to Beaufort County where he earned recognition and praise as a general practitioner for over 70 years. In the interview, Wheatly gives advice to new attorneys and shares stories about his life and career which included an account of being held at gunpoint by a disgruntled client. The interview was conducted by attorney James T. Cheatham in 2005 for the Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism."Just because your opponents may be experienced trial lawyers and you are a beginner, don't let that frighten you," said Wheatly on the podcast. "Look into the facts of the case. Because they are experienced does not mean they are right." This interview is part of the Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism's Historic Video Series. A video of this interview can be found on the NCcourts YouTube channel.

Each Halloween season, All Things Judicial releases a special episode called "Fright Court," where the focus turns to ghostly legends associated with North Carolina's courthouses. The second oldest courthouse in the state, built in 1786, is located in Beaufort County, in the City of Washington. Allegedly, this courthouse is haunted by the ghost of a defendant named Reverend George Washington Carawan, who was tried for murder in 1853. We interviewed Terry Rollins, Youth Services Librarian at the Brown Library in Washington, to get the full story about this remarkable case. "(After the trial) people started reporting something very strange occurring in this building," said Rollins on the podcast. "Those stories have persisted decade after decade, and year after year, since 1853."The second segment of the podcast involves former Supreme Court of North Carolina Associate Justice George Brown, and his wife Laura Ellison Brown. The justice and his wife were local benefactors in the City of Washington, who after their deaths, bequeathed their estate to establish a public library. The Brown Library found a permanent place on the justice's old homesite, but some report that the Browns continue to visit the library almost 100 years after their deaths. The reports of hauntings in North Carolina's courthouses are unverified. However, witness claim that they are true. Are some of North Carolina's courthouses haunted? Listen to the podcast and you be the judge.See a video rendition of the podcast called Fright Court - Old Beaufort County Courthouse.

Today, we're talking with the President of North Carolina Farm Bureau, Shawn Harding. Farm Bureau is the state's largest farming organization is often referred to as the voice of North Carolina agriculture. In this interview, we'll explore the diverse ways this vital association supports North Carolina farmers and growers. I might also say that there are Farm Bureaus in all 50 states, and from what I understand, North, it's a special pleasure to have Shawn with us. Interview Summary I was mentioning before we went live that our center has had a nice relationship with Farm Bureau over a number of years. And one thing that was especially, meaningful to us is with your predecessor, Larry Wooten, and several of his colleagues took us on a tour of farms in Eastern North Carolina. And that was very eye opening and a very moving experience for us to get to talk to farmers and understand a little better. So, I appreciated the work of Farm Bureau before, but especially, after that. So, let's begin. You became President of the North Carolina Farm Bureau nearly two years ago. And anyone in the agriculture world knows a Farm Bureau but others may know less. Would you mind telling us what Farm Bureau does? Yes, certainly. As you mentioned earlier on, we often refer ourselves as the voice of agriculture because that's what we do. We spread the message of farmers and agriculture. And, you know, what's interesting is our organization started 1936 by farmers who felt like they needed a voice. And in 1936 there were a lot of people on the farm. Now, very few people on the farm, very few people that really understand agriculture. So, we feel like our mission to be that voice for agriculture is more relevant now today than ever before. And we try to stay core to that mission and just spreading the word of our farmers and agriculture and what they do. I thought I heard that North Carolina Farm Bureau was the second largest in the country. I don't know if that was correct then or still is, but what explains why North Carolina has such a robust Farm Bureau presence? Well, in 1936 a group of farmers got together and started this organization and really their mission was just to help farmers but also help rural people to any kind of issues they had. And in 1953, believe it or not way back then they were having trouble getting insurance. And so, we started an insurance company. In order to buy insurance from North Carolina Farm Bureau you had to be a member. And so, you joined and you were able to participate in our insurance company. And it was very successful very helpful for our rural families back then. And thankfully, we've been very successful over the years proud of our insurance company. And that's one of the reasons that we have such a large membership in North Carolina. We just crossed 600,000 members for the first time in our state, which does make us the second largest Farm Bureau in the nation. And so, certainly we have many members who have no connection to agriculture but just enjoy and appreciate our insurance company. So, we're proud of that but anyone can join North Carolina Farm Bureau. $25 membership. And if you want to support farmers and support our mission certainly anyone can join. Tennessee Farm Bureau is the largest Farm Bureau, our neighbors to the west. And so, we're looking at how long before we could be number one, but we'll see how that goes. Well, good luck. And 600,000 is pretty impressive, I must say. So, I'd like to talk about one particular part of the work that you and your colleagues are doing, your Young Farmer program. And I recall hearing from Bert Pitt in Edgecombe County saying that the average age of farmers in North Carolina is around 67. And farming is so critical to the future. I'd like to hear about the kinds of support and recognition that your Young Farmer program offers to newer generations of farmers. Thank you for asking about that program. It's really near and dear to our hearts. I'm a product of the Young Farmer program. Actually, Larry Wooten was a product of the Young Farmer program. And so, we use it as a leadership development program in our organization, but it's more than just leadership development. Farming can be a very isolated occupation and sometimes you can feel like you're just out there on your own and don't have any support. So, one of the great things, I think, our Young Farmer program does, it brings young people together. As you said, there's not a lot of them in agriculture. And so, it brings them together and they really get to support each other to see, hey, we've got some of the same issues. We're dealing with some of the same things. And so, it's a real support system for our young people in agriculture. And as you mentioned, I mean, that's vital with the age of farmers now, but I'm excited, I'm excited about the future. I see young people getting involved in agriculture that are first-generation farmers. So, I think, I often say when I was coming along, it maybe wasn't cool to be in agriculture, but now it's a very cool and hip thing to be involved in agriculture. And that's exciting to me to see young people coming in that haven't had a history in it. It's nice to hear that optimistic note in your voice. And boy, that would be great if young people really do come in with a kind of enthusiasm that you're seeing in them. So, that's great. You mentioned your own experience in farming. Could you tell us a little bit more about that? What kind of a farm did you grow up on and what kind of farming did you do yourself? Sure, absolutely. I grew up in Eastern North Carolina, in Beaufort County. A little town called Chocowinity and my grandfather was farming and my father actually, came into farming in the seventies. And so, we grew up on a farm, typical Eastern North Carolina farm that was a tobacco and grain operation. That's kind of what most everybody did a little bit of. And we were small farmers and just enjoy that life. Went to NC State after high school and studied agriculture. And unfortunately, I lost my father the last year of college. And so, you were talking about the age of farmers and certainly, it's difficult to get started in agriculture as a young person, but I had that opportunity right out of college. And so, started farming early, again, going back to tobacco and grain and doing those kind of things. And working with my brother on the farm. We had a partnership, things were going well. And then we came into the nineties and challenges in the tobacco industry. We had the tobacco buyout that came along in 2004. About that time, my wife had started a little side operation with strawberries and I just I looked at it as an opportunity to change what we were doing on the farm. I saw how many people loved coming to the farm to pick strawberries and learn about what we did in agriculture. And I just thought, I think this is the future. So we stopped growing tobacco. We became a strawberry farm. And then of course, added to the strawberries with blueberries, blackberries, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and just went direct to the consumer. And thankfully, we were very blessed to be successful in that. The opportunity to be Farm Bureau President obviously, came along and and I thought it was a great opportunity for me but also for my children. I have two boys and back on the farm now that are running the farm. Again, giving them an opportunity to start at a younger age in agriculture, and also giving me an opportunity to do something that I love. And that's lead this organization and talk about farming. So, that's a little bit of my story and how I got to where I am and just love agriculture and love what I'm doing. At the time we're recording this, we're about to enter the full swing of the strawberry season. So, I was really excited to hear you talk about strawberries. More than that, it's interesting to hear about the transition of your farm and the historical things that shape that. So, let's get back to Farm Bureau. And I know that Farm Bureau does a lot to bring agriculture concerns to policy makers, both at the state level in North Carolina and the national level. And that helps farmers prepare to make the case for North Carolina agriculture. Could you talk about the advocacy programming that you do? It's really one of the top line things that we're involved in. I mentioned that we're the voice of agriculture and that can mean a lot of different things. As I said, we want to share with the public about what farmers do. And part of that public is our legislators who many have been separated from the farm for several generations and don't really understand modern agriculture. So, quite a task there. And so, we stay involved in that. I'm very proud of our advocacy efforts. The other part I would say on that is certainly we have a lobbying team here at Farm Bureau but what we do, what is special about Farm Bureau is we use the term grassroots operation you mentioned we're in every county in North Carolina. And we encourage our volunteer farmers to advocate for what they do. What we found is when you walk in an office as a lobbyist and then they expect you to be at a certain place, but when you take an actual farmer to a legislator, to a Congressman, to a Senator, they appreciate that. And so, we really challenge our young farmers, our women, all our farmers, all our volunteers, to be involved in advocacy for what they do. And that's what I'm proud of as an organization. Our policies come from our people. So, I sit in this role as President, but I don't set the policy for the Farm Bureau. Our people set the policy. And so, we have a policy development process that we go through every year and they really tell us what's important to them. So, I think it's a really fascinating process that was drawn up many years ago and it works really well. I can see how farmers would be such important advocacy voices. When we were doing the tour of farms that I mentioned before, we found the farmers to be talented, passionate but also very humble people. So, you can see how they would have a special role in this. It was interesting to hear you talk about that. I'd like to ask you also about regenerative agriculture. We've done a number of podcasts with farmers and others from around the country involved in regenerative agriculture. And they've talked about techniques such as diverse, no-till, rob crow techniques, mob grazing for livestock and other things to improve the environment and produce food at the same time even though to improve the nutrient profile in food and to help be more resilient in the face of changing weather conditions. So, how do you think North Carolina itself is poised to deal with regenerative agriculture and those advances? I'm, of course, very biased. I believe we have some of the best farmers, in the country, in the world, at North Carolina that are resilient, adaptive and always looking for the right thing to do. And so, when talk about climate change and how agriculture can be a part of that then I think we're at the forefront of it. Many people think about this issue and we all have opinions and things we feel like we ought to do and need to do. And that's great, but I don't think people really think about nobody deals with the climate more than farmers. We deal with the storms, we deal with cold, the heat, everything that comes along with it. So, we're on the front lines of this and certainly, we're ready to look at practices that will help the climate change issue. And I think, farmers are always ready to do that, that with a caveat also, always of saying we have to stay in business. We have to have practices that will keep us on the farm so that we can do the positive things we need to do. But we certainly feel like there's a lot of great research going on right now to say, here's some things that we can do to help reverse this climate change issue and agriculture can play a big role in that. And so, I think our farmers stand ready to be on the front lines of that issue. That sounds really impressive because you're talking about the influence of climate on the agriculture world and then in turn the influence of agriculture on climate and that relationship arrow going in both directions is such an important part of the overall picture that we're facing in the future. So, it's nice to know that North Carolina farmers, in particular, are focusing on that. And speaking of that, the farm bill is such an important piece of legislation nationally, and obviously, for North Carolina farmers as well. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what North Carolina needs from this important piece of legislation. Well, certainly when you think about the farm bill that's coming up, we will be engaged in that heavily. Have staff members here that are already working on it now to try to say, you know, what's our priority. I think if we want to talk about priorities in the farm bill and for the last couple of farm bills, I think this has sort of been the direction our country has gone is crop insurance. We've just said, agriculture's such a volatile business to be in with climate again as we talked about and storms that the safety net that needs to be there for our farmers with crop insurance is a really important piece for us. And so, we'll continue to talk about that as we head into this farm bill negotiation, the next bill, because that really is what helps keep our farmers on the farm when these devastating weather events happen. And we certainly feel like that's important for our country. We've all seen what's happened the last few years with just turmoil around the world. And so, we say food policy is good security policy, and so, we need to have a good food security policy. And that starts with keeping our farmers on the farm and being successful. And that obviously, crop insurance is the biggest part of that farm bill that we'll be looking at. I'm happy you mentioned the vulnerability that farmers face because I think most people who don't dive deeply into agriculture don't realize the number of vulnerabilities that farmers have. There are the weather vulnerabilities we talked about today. There are unexpected market fluctuations. There are complicated relationships with the companies that buy their products. All kinds of things go on in that world that make it a very precarious position that farmers are in. And it's amazing that they're able to tolerate that and still prevail generation after generation. So, it says a lot about the kind of mindset and personalities of farmers doesn't it? We often talk about it's a love, it is a passion. You mentioned seeing that with some of our farmers and it has to be. I mean, just this year, we've seen prices for inputs rise by three times. And certainly, prices of commodities have risen. And some people are saying, well, that equals out. But what I'm trying to tell the general public is we just tripled the risk that we're putting in the ground. With the seed this spring. We just tripled the risk, the seed, the cost of fertilizer. And we don't know what we'll get out of it. So, that's what agriculture is. You mentioned that it's a lot of volatility, but we do it, we love it. I think most farmers feel like it's their responsibility to help feed the world. And so, we want to continue to do that. So, we appreciate the partnerships and people understanding what we do, but there's a lot of risk in it. Absolutely. I was impressed on the farm tour we were doing with some of the things that you just mentioned. One, was how passionate the farmers were about their work and how much they felt they were performing a very important service for the world, but also how many generations of a family there tended to be on farms and how the farmers felt that they wanted to turn the farm over to children in better shape than they had inherited it themselves. It was very interesting way of thinking. So, that passion I must really impress you all the time, too. Absolutely, and as I mentioned my story, I'm sort of living it. I go home now every other weekend, see my boys and the pride they have in growing our things and selling it to local consumers. And there is a pride that goes along with that just to see that, to see your, leaving the next generation in a better place. And that's what our farms and farmers are trying to do to just leave it better than we found it. And that goes with our families. But it also goes with our land. You know, the water the air, the soil, that's how we make our living. So, we're trying to leave it better than we found it.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey continue their interview Don Keenan of The Keenan Law Firm (https://www.keenanlawfirm.com/). Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review New! Watch GTP on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKdeO4IodggpSLyhWVdcWKw Episode Details: Known as a tireless advocate for children and a fierce trial lawyer, Don Keenan of The Keenan Law Firm discusses how he used an innovative causation strategy to successfully represent the family of an infant who sustained a permanent brain injury as a result of her pediatricians' negligence. Sally Bartholomew was born healthy, but three weeks later, she was diagnosed with bronchitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, and an upper respiratory infection. On January 16, 1995, Sally appeared to be turning gray and her Hilton Head Island, South Carolina pediatrician instructed Sally's mother, Carol, to drive the baby to a hospital in Savannah, Georgia. In route, Sally stopped breathing, and Carol administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until EMTs could arrive. Sally's brain was without oxygen for an extended period of time, and she suffered a traumatic brain injury that continues to limit her quality of life and capabilities to this day. Acclaimed trial lawyer Don Keenan explains how he immediately connected with the Beaufort County, South Carolina jury by beginning his opening statement with the story of Carol's traumatic drive to the hospital and simplified his presentation from a PowerPoint to pen-and-paper exhibits to better appeal to an older jury. This is the first recorded case where causation was the initial focus, meaning that Don demonstrated what caused Sally's brain injury before proving the doctor's liability in failing to prepare for the worst possible outcome. After a three-week trial, the Beaufort County, South Carolina jury returned a verdict of $13.75 million in favor of the plaintiff, resulting in the highest medical malpractice verdict in the state at the time. Click Here to Read/Download Trial Documents Guest Bios: Don Keenan: During his forty years specializing in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, Mr. Keenan has secured over 381 verdicts and settlements over $1,000,000, including 15 over $10,000,000 and one over $100,000,000. Mr. Keenan has dedicated his practice to child injury and wrongful death cases arising from medical negligence, products liability, and premise liability, with the goal of making our society safer for children. He has handled cases in 47 states and on three continents. Mr. Keenan strongly believes that our duty does not end when we secure justice for the child and family. Equally important is learning from the prevention lessons of the case and formulating a public awareness campaign to help prevent future injuries and deaths and when necessary, push for legislation and regulations. He calls this unique approach to law the One-Third Solution: one-third litigating the case, one-third public awareness on the prevention and one-third pushing for regulations and legislation. Examples of his One-Third Solution are the Playground Safety Project being featured on the Today Show for the past three years, The Toy Safety Campaign profiled in USA Today and Good Morning America. The Imagine Magazine Summer 2005 issue featured Don Keenan and his One-ThirdSolution as did Mercedes Momentum Magazine in winter of 2004. In 1992, he became the youngest National President of the American Board of Trial Advocates and during his tenure, led a delegation of lawyers to Czechoslovakia and later was invited to Russia to produce the first civil trial in the history of those two emerging democracies. In 1997, he became National President of the Inner Circle of Advocates, the most exclusive group of trial lawyers in the country. In 1999, he was given the prestigious Chief Justice Award for Civility and Professionalism, the highest award possible for a lawyer in Georgia.

With its luxury resorts and golf courses, Hilton Head, South Carolina, is a popular vacation hotspot. But the island is also home to the Gullah Geechee; descendants of formerly enslaved West Africans who have owned land on the island since their ancestors were freed. However, every year Gullah Geechee families are in danger of losing their land to investors at Beaufort County's tax auction. If a family falls behind on its property taxes, the land goes up for auction; and that can happen for as little as a few-hundred dollars in back-taxes. On this episode of Into America, Trymaine Lee speaks with Marine Corp veteran Joseph Walters Jr, who has come close to losing his land two years in a row. And Trymaine talks with members of the Gullah Geechee community who are trying to stop this cycle: Marshview Community Organic Farms owner Sará Reynolds Green, and Pan African Family Empowerment & Land Preservation Network founder Theresa White. Green and White are both part of a network of Gullah advocates raising awareness (and funds) to help people hold onto their land, and the culture that comes with it.

"P" is for Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge. Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge is in Beaufort County, between Skull Creek and Mackay Creek. The Refuge was established in 1975 and opened in 1985. It is comprised of four islands: Corn, Little Harry, Big Harry, and Pinckney. The largest island, Pinckney, is the only one open to the public. From 1736 to 1936 the refuge was owned by the family and descendants of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and was a cotton plantation. From 1937 until 1975, the island was managed as a game preserve. Nearly two-thirds of the refuge consists of salt marsh and tidal creeks. During spring and summer, the freshwater ponds host large concentrations of nesting ibis, herons, and egrets. Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge provides hiking and biking trails excellent for wildlife observation and photography.
Since 1977, firefighter line-of-duty-deaths have been dropping. You know that already, right? And structure fires as a whole are decreasing as well, which you also know. Here's something you may not realize: more civilians are dying in fires. It's true. Since the 1980s, the rate of fire deaths is up six percent. This statistic is readily available—the source will be in the shownotes—but it's not been publicized much. How did we get into this situation? And what will it take to fix it? Today's guest has some ideas. Daniel Byrne's been a guest before on Code 3. He's a Community Support Officer for the Burton Fire District in Beaufort County, South Carolina. He's a third-generation firefighter, and a retired Assistant Chief of Training from the Georgia Air National Guard 165th Fire Department. Support this podcast

We are wrapping our fifth calendar year as a business and in pursuit of our mission to liberate business owners from the chaos of working IN their business so they can build a business on purpose and leverage their business AS their mission in life. Why We Are Doing This Work E.F. Schumacher says there are three purposes to work: To provide a necessary and useful good or service To enable every one of us to use and thereby perfect our gifts like good stewards To liberate ourselves from our inborn egocentricity (i.e. we work so we can be humbled and therefore humble) To us, our work is a display of our faith. Faith is the conviction of something that does not exist, and work is the creation of that thing that we see only in our minds that would be useful to others. When we coach, plan, prepare, market, support, encourage, and research we are doing so to create something useful to others and to ourselves. As to our mission, we have an enemy that hastles our dear business owners. Chaos. Chaos has set the ground work for many of our beloved, heroic business owners (those we work with and those we do not) to be distracted from their purposed work. It is our work to help liberate them from the stubborn and filthy grips of chaos and instead guide them into the diligent world of healthy and fruitful work so they themselves can fulfill each of Schumacher's three purposes of their own work. When they enter this world of what Schumacker calls “Good Work” then we have the joy of knowing our work was useful. 2019: The year of “Aha” Looking back I am compelled to see 2019 as the year we arrived at the peak of a very small mountain. Of course this mountain seemed unscalable in March of 2015 but now is a source of incredible joy when we think about the business owners who have been able to climb their own mountains with our encouragement, coaching and support. Between the one-on-one coaching, our new LIVE/LOCAL group coaching, the BOP Roadmap, and Architect's Coaching program, we have had the honor and responsibility of directly impacting a powerful numbers of owners and key leaders in just this year. To our best estimate, at least… 443 Families! ...this does not include subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers. 2020: A little nervous...a LOT EXCITED! I've got loads of clarity both for our Business On Purpose business and for our heroic business owners and their key leaders in 2020. I'll be honest, I'm a little nervous about two things. Greed and Complacency. In 2019 a critical mass of our business owners really figured out how to recognize real cash profit thanks to the a) multi-bank account structure, the b) level two dashboard, c) financial barn, and d) a lot of discipline. It worked! The profit accounts started filling up and will continue to do so in 2020. If we're not careful it can lead to a mindset of coasting, or even worse...greed. To push beyond that, our word for 2020 is REINVEST, and I am A LOT EXCITED about that. We are going to be relentless with our heroic business owners to REINVEST in vision, mission, values, systems, and process. REINVEST in identifying purpose. REINVEST in team meetings. REINVEST in processes and process roadmaps. REINVEST in knowing our team through roles, org charts, and personality profiles. REINVEST in knowing your numbers through our accounts, dashboards, financial barns, budget, etc. REINVEST in owners connecting with other owners and key leaders connecting with each other. REINVEST in our 12 week plan LIVE event. REINVEST in our common goal and responsibility of building a business on purpose. I'll use Business On Purpose as an example. Our major internal business focus is broken down into three tracks… REINVEST in our existing heroic owners and their teams the BOP process! Not allowing them to coast, but constantly fanning the flame of the gift they have each been given. Expand the Business On Purpose Roadmap online member community among business owners who are generating annual revenues of $750k or less. This will require a real commitment to thoughtful, helpful, and generous “marketing”. Hire our first full time Business On Purpose Coach locally (Beaufort County and surrounding areas) showing our radical commitment to liberating our local business owners from chaos. In March of 2020 we will celebrate five years of liberating business owners from chaos. Over the next five years, we WILL see overwhelming waves of liberation among existing and new businesses and their owners that will lead to a bona fide movement of purpose, generosity, and progress in marriages, families, and communities. This WILL happen and we want you to be a part. You can begin to REINVEST in your own business by joining us for our next powerful, free webinar “Stop Hiring The Wrong People”, where I will build a hiring process from scratch right in front of your eyes!

Hello Gardeners, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Making It Grow spent a lovely day in Beaufort recently learning about and filming portions of the Spanish Moss Trail. The Magnolia Rail Line began in the late 1800's carrying freight for twenty miles to the Port of Port Royal. Both the port and railroad were decommissioned in the early 2000's, the train right of way now belongs to Beaufort County and has become the Spanish Moss Trail. Almost halfway complete, the former rail bed is a twelve-foot-wide concrete path which skirts in backyards, across marshlands, and near shops and restaurants. People fish from specially constructed trestles, throw cast nets in the marsh, ride bikes, push children, skate, and walk dogs in a safe, vehicle-free atmosphere enhanced by markers for historic sites, restrooms, and beautiful landscaping at trailheads, with trees, wild flowers, and birds galore.
When South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster ordered the evacuation of Beaufort County Monday ahead of Hurricane Dorian, the County Animal Shelter and the Hilton Head Humane Society were put in a pinch.

The Goodyear Blimp is nothing short of iconic, but we wouldn’t say it could be classified as a bird. Still, that didn’t stop Redondo Beach—a coastal city situated near the Goodyear Blimp’s home airport in Carson, California—from passing a resolution in 1983 to make the blimp its official bird. NEWS Possible Bigfoot Dogman Incident? Something clawed NC teacher to death in woods 6 months ago. Nobody knows what it was https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article233567257.html https://www.cbs17.com/news/77-year-old-nc-teacher-dies-following-animal-attack/ It’s been six months since Brenda Hamilton was attacked while walking her dogs in Beaufort County, and deputies have yet to figure out what exactly is to blame for her killing. Deputies have speculated it could have been a coyote, wolves or even wild dogs, but DNA evidence has concluded only that the attacker was canine in nature DNA testing facilitated by an N.C. Wildlife biologist has eliminated any wild animals indigenous to the area. Update & Correction from Sheriff's office Beaufort County NC. This office previously received information from the NC Wildlife Resources, that the preliminary DNA testing found domestic K9 DNA on the victim’s clothing. Investigators learned this morning that information was incorrect, K9 DNA was found on Mrs. Hamilton’s clothing, however the testing does not differentiate between wild K9s such as wolf or coyote indigenous to the area and domestic K9s that may live in the area. At present Sheriff’s Investigators are collecting DNA from domestic K9s in the area for further testing. Investigators are continuing to investigate to determine which, if any domestic K9s in the area may have attacked Hamilton.

Dylan Davis is lead author on a paper titled, "Automated mound detection using lidar and object-based image analysis in Beaufort County, South Carolina." The article details his teams efforts to create algoritms and workflows for a computer system to identify mounds and earthworks. The results were stunning! They covered an amazing amount of space in a short period of time and ground truthed just a few of the results which resulted in the discovery of some previously undiscovered mounds. This is just the beginning for a system like this.

Cold Feet: Adventures in Matrimony by Wedding Officiant Sonita M. Leak January 29, 2018 Greenville, SC Cold feet. You would think that if any part of a couple had cold feet, they would express it in a major way before the ceremony, right? Well... in my experience as a Wedding Officiant here in South Carolina, I've come across a couple or two that experienced a few setbacks AFTER their ceremony with me. This is how one went down. So, a few years ago, I received an email from one half of a Beaufort County, South Carolina couple. Email correspondence went on back and forth with this male for quite some time. The story? He and his fiance were going to drive to Greenville on a specific date to get married, in short ceremony at the location of my choosing. So, when the time came for the couple to come to Greenville, I was met with odd questions regarding ceremony attendance, pricing and some other things. No biggie. I didn't think anything of it. On the day of the ceremony, the couple met me in Downtown Greenville, at Falls Park at the Reedy River. I'd even made the couple a keepsake, because they said they wanted one with the ceremony. Not a problem. Couple married, license paperwork signed, marriage license waiting in my hands to be mailed to the Beaufort County's Probate Court. So what happens? On Sunday night before the next day Monday's mail drop off of the couples' license, I receive a call from the Groom, yes, the same one I'd been communicating with for not just a few weeks, but for a FEW MONTHS. He says, “Don't turn the marriage license in!” Blank Stare. My reply, “You mean to tell me you don't want me to turn in the marriage license?” "That's correct, ma'am." May I ask why? Well, see, well, me and my girl wanted to invite more people to the ceremony and well, some of the family members got upset that we got married and they weren't there. “Oh, okay.” Even MORE confusion. So, a few days later, the Bride calls, “You turned our marriage license in, right?” MASS CONFUSION NOW. Wait, you mean to tell me that you guys wanted me to GO AHEAD and turn your paperwork in?” I eventually came to find out that the couple were involved in a disagreement between one another, it had absolutely NOTHING to do with family members not being able to attend. For those notaries public who decide to marry couples along with your commission duties, ensure that with each and every couple you join together in matrimony, TURN IN THE MARRIAGE LICENSE NO MATTER WHAT! After ceremony and filling of the paperwork, you are required to turn in the paperwork within 15 days thereafter. *The message at the end applies to State of South Carolina Notaries Public who marry couples. If you are hearing this and are in another state, your notarial and marriage rules may be different. This was today's Adventure in Matrimony.
When Charles II of England granted the colony of Carolina to a group of Lords Proprietors in 1663, the province included all the land between English Virginia and Spanish Florida. On paper, at least, the southern border of Carolina included the northern part of Florida, all the way down to what is now Jacksonville. Conversely, Spain considered the northern boundary of Florida to extend as far north as Saint Helena Sound, in modern Beaufort County, South Carolina.
