P
A
S
National
Recovery
month
is
when
National
observance
held
every
September
to
promote
and
support
new,
evidence-based
treatment
and
Recovery
practices.
The
nation's
strong
and
proud
recovery,
community
and
dedication
of
service
providers
and
communities
to
make
recovery
in
all
its
forms
possible.
S
The
Substance,
Abuse
and
Mental
Health
Services
Administration
aims
to
increase
public
awareness
surrounding
mental
health
and
addiction
and
coverage
for
the
years
since
recovery
month,
launched
samsa
has
timed
announcements
of
initiatives
and
grant
funding
during
recovery
mode,
while
collaborate
collaborating
with
private
and
public
entities
to
celebrate
individuals
during
their
long-term
recoveries.
This.
S
Whereas
substance
use
disorders,
including
opioid,

and
co-occurring

S
The
message
that
prevention
and
treatment
are
effective
and
people
can
and
do
recover
every
day,
whereas
the
impact
of
substance
use
is
apparent
locally.
With
an
estimated
twenty
thousand
people
pounding
affected
by
a
substance
used
before
through
National
Recovery,
most
people
become
more
aware
and
able
to
recognize
the
signs
of
substance
use
disorders
as
people
in
need
of
treatment
and
Recovery
Services
are
encouraged
to
seek
help
for
about
institutional
societal,
family
or
self-stigma
withdrawal
can
be
barriers
to
recovery
for
as
a
National
Recovery
month.
L
I
would
like
to
thank
you
first
of
all,
counselors
for
your
support
in
this
and
for
standing
with
us
as
we
celebrate.
September
is
National
Recovery
month.
All
of
us
know
people,
friends,
family
neighbors
and
our
communities,
who
have
been
impacted,
biceps
institutes
in
some
way,
and
sometimes
even
Lifest.
The
people
who
work
with
us
alongside
us.
L
A
A
T
Hey
I'm
Grant
McClure
I'm,
with
the
coastal
conservation
league
in
Beaufort
and
our
office
is
at
1212
King
Street
I
was
going
to
speak
to
item
15,
which
is
the
the
public
hearing,
I'd
be
happy
to
go
at
that
time
or
or
now
now
that
I'm
up
here,
okay,
great
well,
the
the
item
is
concerning
about
a
12
acre
property
in
the
town
of
Port
Royal.
It
features
one
of
the
actually
the
largest
Live
Oak
in
in
Beaufort
County.
T
Historically,
significant
property
and
I
spoke
about
this
at
the
committee,
but
I
really
wanted
to
give
it
a
nod
to
the
landowners
who
are
not
only
willing
to
sell
this
property
recognizing
its
cultural
importance.
The
importance
of
the
natural
resources
on
the
site,
but
they're
willing
to
sell
it
at
a
discounted
rate,
they're,
actually
contributing
funds
towards
the
long-term
stewardship
of
the
property,
which
I
think
is
really
admirable
and
I'm
not
sure
if
the
landowners
are
here,
the
current
land
editors,
but
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
those
time.
U
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
Hope.
Can
you
hear
me?
My
name
is
Hope
Cunningham
and
I
live
at
159,
Gautier
Place
in
Port
Royal.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
on
behalf
of
the
friends
of
Cherry
Hill
Oak,
the
natural
beauty
and
historical
charm
of
the
low
country
are
our
greatest
assets.
They
are
the
reason,
so
many
of
us
choose
to
make
Beaufort
County
home.
U
Preserving
this
cultural
Endowment
for
future
Generations
is
our
responsibility.
The
open
land
at
Cherry
Hill
provides
much-needed
habitat
for
wildlife
and
protection
for
trees
that
clean
our
air
cool,
our
environment,
hold
our
soil
and
filter
our
water.
It
also
provides
an
important
opportunity
for
visitors
to
connect
with
learn
about
and
appreciate
the
environment
and
its
historical
significance.
U
Respect
for
these
Community
assets
is
essential
for
responsible
stewardship
of
our
resources.
It
has
been
my
great
privilege
to
participate,
as
the
residents
of
Beaufort
County
demonstrate,
enthusiastic
civic
participation
in
defense
of
our
natural
and
historical
resources
over
the
past
year.
So
many
have
worked
together
to
protect
this
350
year
old,
Live
Oak
and
the
32
landmark
and
specimen
trees
that
surround
it.
I
wish
to
express
my
gratitude
for
the
exemplary
collaboration
between
Maryland
properties,
the
open
land
trust,
the
coastal.

filled
up
this
room
a
number
of
times
for
many
committee

that

Thank

caring
enough
to
take
the
time
out
of
your
day
to
stand
by

and
show
your
support
and

I

Voice,
Was
Heard
loudly
by
every
committee
and
every
Council
that
you
attended
and
to
tenant,
Houston

Maryland
properties.
M
The
sellers
of
the
properties
who
cared
enough
to
apply
for
this
purchase,
negotiate,
affably
and
then
donate
financial
support
back
to
the
program.
This
parcel
in
this
tree
have
been
here
for
almost
350
years.
14
years
ago.
The
tree
was
documented
as
Beaufort
County's,
oldest
and
largest
tree
ten
years
ago.
The
tree
was
dedicated
as
the
South
Carolina
Heritage
tree
of
the
year,
and
all
that
time
no
real
progress
had
been
made
with
any
of
the
preservation
efforts
for
the
site,
one
short
year
ago
to
the
day.
M
Hope
Cunningham,
along
with
some
of
you
other
people
here
today,
sat
in
the
town
of
Port
Royals
meeting
and
and
to
protest
the
zoning
variants
for
a
two
and
a
half
story.
Townhouse
the
variance
was
denied,
and
then
you
heard
about
the
tree
in.
T
M
F
School
district
report-
yes,
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
the
things
that
were
interesting
to
me,
not
that
it's
all
not
interesting,
but
Ace,
the
academy
for
career
Excellence,
it's
a
joint
venture
with
Jasper
County.
Evidently,
there's
some
concern
being
right
raised
by
Jasper
County.
They
pay
a
third
of
the
cost,
but
they
only
have
18
of
the
students
and
they
need
12
million
dollars
in
capital
of
which
each
County
would
be
responsible,
50
percent.
So
at
this
point
there's
an
issue
in
the
superintendents
have
been
deemed
to
go
figure
it
out.
F
So
good
luck
to
them.
The
second
thing
all
of
you
will
find
interesting.
They
were
talking
about
the
superintendent's
contract
and
in
order
for
him
to
get
a
four
out
of
four
on
the
financial
part
of
the
contract,
you
know
it's
a
scoring
mechanism.
He
they
they
got
this
from
Michigan.
So
let
me
put
that
first,
he
would
have
to
have
the
expenditures
come
at
or
below
two
percent
of
the
adopted
budget
to
get
a
four
out
of
four,
so
I
Gotta
Give,
Dr,
Rodriguez
perks.
He
stood
up
and
he
said
so.
F
F
They
have
like
10
referendum
meetings
all
over
the
county,
that
you
can
go
and
hear
about
why
they're
asking
for
494
million
dollars
on
the
November
ballot
and
they're
doing
all
of
these
and
I
would
encourage
everybody
to
go
to
at
least
one
of
them
and
it's
on
the
calendar
when
they

If
a
lot
of
people
don't
look
at
the
consent,
consent
agenda,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
items
coming
out
of
it
from
public
facilities
and
Safety
Committee
I
won't
go
through
the
whole
list
with
you,
but
just
know
that
the
reason
on
that
is,
they
were
passed
unanimously
in
the
committee
with
the
purchase
of
a
lot
of
new
equipment
for
the
county
all
across
the
county,
as
well
as
upgrades
and
updating
things
on
the
airport
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
of
that
today
to
go
ahead
and
take
a
look
at
that
with
the
detailed
descriptions
of
the
purchase
amounts
and
the
equipment
that
we
purchased.

Pretty
quick

the

A
Mr,

Mr

duly
motioned

is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none?
This
will
be
approved
without
objection
and
I
see
no

Item
21
is
approval
of
a
resolution
by
the
Beaufort
County
Council
authorizing
the
Buford
Executive
Airport
facility
use
rate
changes,
arw
facility
rate
changes.
They
have
such
a
motion.
Mr.
H
S
This
was
explained
to
us
earlier
on
a
rate
change
that
had
been
set
in
21
and
we
were
told
that
it
was
minimal
and
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
for
everyone,
the
tie
down
rates
for
tenants
there
on
a
monthly
basis
was
raised
from
150
to
200
dollars,
but
the
reality
of
that
is
that
that's
six
dollars
and
67
cents
a
day
for
them
to
tie
down
their
aircraft.
S
If
it's
a
small
aircraft,
it
went
from
a
hundred
dollars
to
150
a
month
and
that's
three
dollars
a
day
to
tie
down
a
small
aircraft
for
those
people
who
have
a
hangar
they've
increased
the
rent
from
348
a
month
to
362
dollars
which,
for
the
aircraft
owners,
is
about
fourteen
dollars
a
month.
So
I
think
that
the
information
we
received
about
those
increases
of
being
minimal
was
accurate
and
I
should
also
add
that
the
airport
board
unanimously
approved
these
changes
that
are
going
into
effect.
With
this.
A
A
A
C
Be
said
that
in
a
democracy
we
tend
to
get
the
government
we
deserve
and
if
we're
lucky
a
little
bit
better.
Therefore,
we
can't
blame
what
happens
to
us
on
them,
because
we
are
them
I'm
here,
because
I
care
about
democracy
call
me
hokey
only
old-fashioned,
because
that's
what
I
am
Spokane
old-fashioned,
I
believe
in
democracy.

B

C
C
None
of
the
language
in
the
bond
referendums
continents
any
other
form
of
use
of
that
money
than
that.
That
document
lives
above
your
head.
Thank
you
right
now.
It's
going
to
mock
you.
If
you
don't
change
it
and
I
would
suggest
you
follow
the
letters
of
recommendation
from
the
county
attorney's
office.
Thank
you
very
much.
W
Again,
my
name
is
Roy
Brown
and
I
stand
to
well.
Thank
you.
So
much
stand
to
support
Pine,
Island
development.
W
I'm
recently,
the
postmaster
at
St
Helena
for
about
10,
oh
I,
started
in
1982
as
postmaster
for
the
first
time
and
I
came
back
to
Beaufort
in
2010
as
postmaster
and
I
see.
The
the
development
of
this
project
is
one
of
the
best
thing
that
ever
happened
to
sit
Helen
Island.
This
is
a
this
is
an
uplift
for
Saint
Helen
Island.
This
is
I
listened
to
the
to
the
deep.
This
I
am
so
disappointed
with
the
recent
well-organized
series
of
protests-
harassment,
that's
not
necessary.
This
is
a.
W
This
is
a
a
win-win
for
Saint
Helena.
We
hear
about
the
ability
of
the
African-Americans
not
being
able
to
go
fishing.
If
this
happens,
if
you
build
a
golf
course
and
this
and
that
that's
not
true,
what
is
true
is
a
pine
developer.
Lvo
trepino
is
basically
willing
to
bend
over
backwards
to
bring
us
into
economical
stage
where
we
need
to
be
creating
scholarships,
creating
free
community
meeting
Center,
establishing
employees,
employment
and
training
for
our
young
youth,
our
kids
leave
because
they
don't
have
any
place
to
to
work.
W
We
we
are
going
to
keep
fighting
we're
going
to
keep
trying
to
educate
people
to
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
to
get
our
children
the
opportunity
to
live
a
good
decent
life
in
Saint
Helena
and
for
them
to
go
to
school
and
come
back
and
be
productive
citizens
on
Saint
Helena
that
be
our
goal
in
Centralia
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your

What's
happened
with
the
recently
discharged
administrator
in
the
investigations
that
have
come
about
I
wanted
to
share
kind
of
what
what
I
experienced
there
too,
unfortunately,
and
from
2018
until
kind
of
late
19
I,
was
part
of
a
divorce
custody,
action
that
went
really
really
badly
and
because
my
ex
touted
connections
with
a
county
attorney
I
was
told
that
I
would
lose
everything
and
I
did
even
what
was
in
my
closet,
my
children,
everything
so
that
happened.
I
was
warned
and
then
yet
I,
skeptical
or
naive,
but
it
did
happen
fast
forward.
AA
A
few
months
until
early
2020
and
my
health
burned
down
my
ex
and
I
still
owned
it
together.
He
was
already
remarried,
but
my
11
year
old
ran
out
of
that
house.
Fire
and
I'm.
Sorry
that
this
that
I'm
not
talking
about
happy
things
but
he's
okay,
physically,
but
I
wanted
to
tell
you
all
that
I
didn't
even
get
a
police
report.
I
didn't
get
an
investigation
policy
number
236a
from
Beaufort
County
or
from
Bluffton
fire
department
10601.
They
were
both
ignored.
AA
I've
funded
my
own
private
investigation,
barely
and
including
the
International
Association
of
arson
investigators,
and
it
looks
pretty
intentional.
Would
you
believe,
44
months
after
the
fact,
I
still
don't
have
an
investigation?
I
got
the
insurance,
the
insurance
Communications.
My
name
was
on
those
payments.
I
didn't
see
a
penny
of
it
again.
I
shouldn't
be
here,
I
mean
the
policies
should
work,
as
you
all
are
investigating
the
corruption
and
the
back
room
deals.
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
you
to
keep
it
going.
AA
R
Hi
I'm
John
sharpner
with
the

and
I
just
stand
up
here
by
the
communications
Committee
of
the
foskey
council,
just
to
say,
hi
and
say
we
appreciate
the
effort
that
Eric
Clawson
brought
to
us
to
explain
the
new
construction
on
our
roads
and
it
was
very
helpful
because
there's
a
lot
of
misinterpretations
of
what
was
going
on.
So
it
settled
a
lot
of
misconceptions.
R
Also.
We
had
some
changes
on
the
defusky
island
Council.
We
had
two
people
resign.
So
now
we
have
new
leadership
and
I
am
the
new
chairman
of
the
council.
So
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
continuously.
We
appreciate
all
the
efforts
if
you're
have
shown
us.
Thank
you.
Congratulations!

Okay,
so
Joe

I
understand
both

Larry.
My
comment
to
you
both
of
you
is
please
distance
yourself
from
conflicts
because
I
you
need
to
do
that.
Let's
talk
about
all
the
Baton
passing
of
employees
from
one
city
to
the
other
when
they
are
caught
with
illegal
acts

So
here's
what
we
know
lawyer
Josh
Gruber,
rejected
in
Beaufort
and
hired
in
Hilton

He
was
found
guilty
of
three
ethics
violations
and
illegal
use
of
tax
funds,
he's
still
employed
and
he
was
not
fired.
Like
Greenway
Mark,
Orlando,
Bluffton
manager
committed
illegal
Acts
and
misuse
of
employees
and
tax
funds
and
hired
by
town
of
