Delight vegetarians with grilled eggplant

By Angela Shelf Medearis

G

athering guests around the grill is an easy way to entertain ... but what if some of your guests are vegetarians?

Providing a barbecue menu that your vegetarian guests will enjoy is simple when using eggplant as the main course.

The beauty of including vegetarian items on the grill is that their main dish can be served as a side dish for your guests who eat meat.

Eggplant is easy to grill and can be used in a variety of ways to create a satisfying dish for your vegetarian guests.

It's high in dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium and many antioxidants. Improperly prepared eggplant can be slimy or bitter, but if you prepare and cook eggplant correctly, it's delicious.

And grilling makes it even more flavorful.

I like to first prep the eggplant using a salt-extraction method to remove any bitter liquid.

This technique guarantees that the eggplant will be crispy and brown on the outside, and creamy and sweet inside.

First, cut the eggplant lengthwise into thick slices, or you also can cut it into cubes and use them to make kabobs.

Layer the pieces of eggplant in a colander and salt them generously.

Place the colander on top of a bowl to catch the liquid the eggplant will give off.

Next, place paper towels on top of the eggplant.

Then weigh everything down to extract as much liquid as possible.

You can use heavy cans wrapped in foil, or a heavy pot with a few cans inside of it. Let the eggplant drain for about an hour.

When you remove the eggplant from the colander, you'll notice that a lot of water has been released from the vegetable.

This is a good thing.

That means that if the eggplant had a bitter flavor, it has been removed.

Rinse the slices and pat them dry with paper towels.

Now your eggplant is ready

for the grill.

You can serve grilled eggplant in a variety of ways — as a main-course item in thick slices, along with grilled bell peppers or mushrooms; cut into cubes and served as part of a veggie kabob; piled on grilled slices of bread to make a panini; or tossed with hot or cold pasta.

Any way you serve grilled eggplant, it's delicious!

GRILLED EGGPLANT Most vegetarians prefer that their food be cooked separately from the place on the grill where the meat is prepared.

Clean your grill and prepare the vegetarian menu items first, or if you have a large grill, make sure that the meat and the vegetables are separate.

• 3 large eggplants • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut in half length-wise, seeds and ribs removed • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut in half length-wise, seeds and ribs removed • 1 tbspn Italian seasoning • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon onion powder • 1/3 cup olive oil 1. Clean the grill and lightly oil the grate with a food-safe paper towel. Heat the charcoal or gas grill to mediumhigh heat. You'll know the grill is ready if you can hold your hand about an inch above the grill for 3 to 4 seconds.

2. Drain the eggplant and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

Lay the eggplant and the bell peppers on a large baking sheet or tray.

Brush both sides of the egg-

plant and the peppers with olive oil, and sprinkle both sides with the Italian Seasoning, pepper, and the garlic and onion powders.

3. Lay the vegetables on the grill. Close the lid if using a gas grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Turn the slices over and cook until grill marks again appear and the vegetables are tender,

about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Makes 8 servings.

THE CHARLESTON SILVER LADY DAWN CORLEY

Are you ready for the eclipse?

_

CharlestonSilverLady@hotmail.com

This is not a comb or hair pick, it is a necessary serving utensil

Ashley Steele

T

his particular piece came from a family in Charleston. They lived on John’s Island and had the strawberry farm there before progress took it over. As you can imagine, low country strawberries, like low country tomatoes, have a flavor all their own. I can remember many Saturday mornings, leaving the patch with my great Aunt Rae and nearly eating all of the berries in my little bucket before we got back to our place.

We lived only about three miles away, yet I couldn’t wait even that long to “get into the berries.” Life seemed simpler then and something like a cake, something we have 24/7 access to now, seemed like more of a treat than it does today.

Our neighbOr was elderly and unable to pick her own berries, so we always had a bucket we picked for her. I remember stumbling up her swept dirt walkway to take them to her front door. She would answer in her house dress and apron, greeting me with a big smile. She asked me once if the berries were good and I told her I wasn’t sure. I am positive the red juice covering my face, hands and clothing answered her question!

As a thank you for bringing her the berries, she would bake the most wonderful cake and have us over the next day, Sunday. We would all drive “downtown” ( that is what we called Charleston) together, go to church, have lunch with relatives or friends and then drive back to John’s Island for dessert.

Our neighbor would have made a strawberry short cake for us.

She left it ‘“soaking,” before we left for church so by four o’clock it was just right to pull out from the ice box. She used a silver implement like the one you see here to slice and serve the cake.

This sTerling-handled ObjecT was made in just about every circa 1900 silver pattern and is technically called a “cake breaker.” It will easily separate and serve the layers of soft, easy to damage, layer cakes such as a strawberry shortcake. An angel food cake would not suffer the usual flattening if one of these implements was used.

Every time I see one of these pieces, my first thoughts are of John’s Island and those times so long ago. Those moments are perfectly preserved within the gleaming confines of this piece that made happy memories for so many.

ave you heard or read about the eclipse?

It’s Aug. 21 at about 2:40 p.m.

The great news is that Lexington is directly in the path of the solar eclipse viewing area.

We will have the best viewing area in the world — if it isn’t cloudy that day.

Let me remind you that you’ll need special eye wearer to view the eclipse.

The cheapest are paper glasses that almost everyone is selling.

Make sure they meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standards.

It should say it on the back of your glasses or you can check the list of manufacturers at eclipse.aas.org/resources/solarfilters.

Also check for scratches or tears in your glasses. This could mean they will not work and the glare could hurt your eyes.

The next option is card-

board or plastic glasses. These are far more sturdy than the paper ones, but still must conform the to the safety standards found above.

If you use welding shields or goggles, the AAS (American Astronomical Society) recommends thatthey be a shade 12 or higher. Do not use anything lower.

Solar viewing binoculars can be bought online so that you can get the best viewing experience possible.

They must have the approved ISO filters. Make sure that they fully cover your eyes and be careful taking them from your eyes.

Solar filters can be found for

cameras and telescopes. Just remember that they must cover the viewing area and still be ISO compliant.

No matter your viewing type you’ll want to make sure that your eyes are completely covered during the partial eclipse.

During the totality, you can uncover and view it without any protection, but only if you are in the path of totality (as most of Lexington is) and only when the totality is complete. It should be fully dark while you are viewing without any protection.

For more information be sure to visit AAS.org

The Lake Murray Fishing Report Lake Murray water levels are at 357.86 (full pool is 360.00), and temperatures are in the mid-80s.

Clarity is good.

Lake Murray bass are firmly in summer mode, and veteran tournament angler Captain Doug Lown reports that there isn't a lot of change in the overall pattern since the beginning of the month.

Early, there is a shallow bite around the banks, and after that you need to look around deeper channel points. Doug notes that if we get some rain and cloudy weather it can be a good time to look around the bank later into the day, particularly since deeper fish don't bite as well

when it is cloudy. When it is hot and sunny, you pretty much need to concentrate offshore outside of a small window first thing.

Tournament angler Andy Wicker of Pomaria has also spent time on Murray recently, and he notes that it's not taking a lot of weight to win tournaments.

In addition to finding some fish shallow early (before 8 a.m.) on topwaters like a buzzbait, frog or PopR, he has also found some schooling fish out over deeper water. Most of these fish seem to be in the 2 to 2½ pound range. They have also caught them on the bottom around brush.

On the striped bass front, Cap-

tain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that the best action has been coming on down-lined herring fished in 40-60 feet of water.

Pretty much all of the fish are out on the main lake moving towards the lower pool, and there have even been some reports of fish caught in 80 feet along the dam.

Crappie fishing has been really good recently, and Brad reports that he is catching fish around brush in 15-20 feet of water at the mouths of creeks on the upper part of the lake.

The fish have been 6-12 feet down, and they will pretty much only bite toughies that are small as you can get.

In catfish news, Captain William Attaway (803-924-0857) reports that the spawn is winding down as in most of the area lakes.

That means that most of the fish are headed deeper, although they will come into shallower water to feed at night. Thirty feet is a good depth range to target during the day, while at night 15-25 feet is a good range.

Fish will be found off long points and humps, and fishing the deeper side of channel buoys on the lake is a good bet. For numbers of fish dip baits are hard to beat, while for a little better quality try cut bait.

At night you have a good shot at

tangling with a good flathead on Murray right now if you fish live bait around brush.

Finally, if you just want to catch numbers of fish, it may be hard to beat the white perch fishery.

The best bite is up the lake because of the threadfin population, and fishing long ledges that run out to the channel are good places to look.

Twenty-25 feet is a good range to target, and they may come up to 15 feet.

Minnows, jigging spoons and even strips of fish belly meat will catch perch, with the best bite early and late.

These houses of worship invite you to attend this week.

Complete transparency: See online where your gas tax money goes

Bulls, boots and big belt buckles

By Jerry Bellune JerryBellune@yahoo.com

Many taxpayers are skeptical about what state officials do with their money.

How billions of tax dollars are collected and spent is often a mystery.

One state official – Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom – will change that.

When the 2 cents a gallon state gas tax increase began July 1, money from it and vehicle sales tax and registration fees began to flow into the new Infrastructure Maintenance Trust Fund.

From there, it can be used for road “repairs, maintenance and improvements.”

That at least is what many hoped would happen, Eck-

strom said, or be used to pay down bond debt.

Eckstrom plans to make that transparent by putting the IMTF account online.

Eckstrom aims to have the account posted online in the next month, his spokesman Eric Ward said.

This will allow taxpayers to track the fund’s sources of revenue and the detailed expenditures made.

Eckstrom’s office will need new accounting procedures, Ward said.

It “will involve tracking revenue sources and uses for the IMTF in more specific detail than would be available using the state’s existing accounting.”

Ward promised to let taxpayers know how to use the system when it is set up.

Operation Love Hurts nets 15 on prostitution, drug charges

Rodeo wows ’em in South Congaree

By Allen Wallace midlandsanchor.com

The arena was full of buckin' broncs and lots of smiles.

This weekend’s South Congaree Championship Rodeo marked year two for the event.

If the crowd was any indication, it will be returning for years to come.

The Horse Arena in the Lexington County town of around 2,400 people was packed with about 2,000 rodeo fans for the second and final night of the event Saturday. Many arrived hours before the rodeo began.

“There’s nothing like a rodeo. The kids love it, we love

it,” said Frank Edwards, who came with a large group of family and friends.

Like the Blythewood DOKO Rodeo last month, the rodeo was sanctioned by the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA).

Top finishers earn points in the standings for places in the world championship in Oklahoma City in January.

The competitors included past world champions and newcomers.

Both men and women participated in bareback riding, bulldogging and calf roping.

The events were spread over two nights, with the top performers taking home the traditional prize belt

buckles, cash and points in the standings.

Kids enjoyed pony rides and other games.

A mechanical bull let amateur cowboys and cowgirls show off their skills.

“It’s not too often we get a big event like this in South Congaree,” said Jenny Owens. “It’s great to get to show off the horse arena for people who might not know we’re out here.”

Even the weather cooperated, with cooler than usual temperatures for a South Carolina summer night.

More information on the IPRA standings and the chase to qualify for Oklahoma City is available at the

IPRA website.

Complete results from the South Congaree rodeo are posted there.

Springdale Police have charged 15 people with drug trafficking and prostitution.

The arrests occurred during a weekend operation targeting illegal activities, Chief Kevin Cornett said last Sunday.

During the Springdale police operation several people were arrested on prostitution related, narcotics related and gun charges.

“There are people be-

ing forced to participate in prostitution when they truly don’t want to,” he said.

“We want to find those people who are being victimized and we want to help them get out of that situation for good.”

Some arrested tried to pay for prostitution using illegal narcotics.

Charges include distribution and possession of methamphetamine, marijuana, schedule 2 narcotics, crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia and giving false information to police.

#LeighStrong

Softball teams rally around River Bluff pitcher battling cancer

By THOMAS GRANT JR. chroniclesports@yahoo.com

Leigh Sharpe is in the battle of her life.

The soon to be 16-year-old was a starting pitcher and second baseman for River Bluff High School and the South Carolina Jets’ 16U traveling team.

A diagnosis last April of Stage 4 pancreatic cancer essentially ended her budding career.

Sharpe is dealing with the painful side effects from chemotherapy treatments at Palmetto Health’s Children’s Clinic done in three week increments and its steep financial costs.

“I think the hardest thing for her was when she lost her hair,” said Sharpe’s mother Rebecca.

“For a teenage girl, that’s tough. It’s changed everything for her because so much of her life has been wrapped up in softball. She can’t play because they had to put a port under her skin.

“Even if she were to feel well enough, that port can’t get hit, so she can’t play. She’s kind of resigned herself to the fact she can’t play softball.”

Through the good days and the bad, Sharpe has remained “Strong” and resilient.

Once widespread, most of the cancer has been killed and contained to a large mass in Strong’s abdomen and a small portion of one of her lungs.

It helps to have support from her softball peers.

“Gator Strong/Leigh Strong” jerseys sold in the River Bluff community have helped raise funds. The school’s soccer program held a tournament that resulted in $2,100 split among

three families, including the Sharpes.

The Batesburg-Leesville softball team recently mailed a poster to Leigh to show their support as well as schools from Sumter County in the form of videos.

On Aug. 12, Carrie Lyons, head of the local softball chapter Rebecca Sharpe of the U.S. Specialty Sports Association will hold a two-day tournament. An estimated 20 teams, including the Lexington County Lady Blowfish, have signed up so

It’s a Dog’s Life Cowhand On vacation one year I went to a resort in Wyoming.

As part of the usual activities, a neighboring ranch invited guests from our resort to participate in a cattle drive.

After watching 20 makebelieve cowpokes whooping and hollering, I rode up to the ranch owner and asked her how many cowboys it normally takes to drive a herd of that size.

“One,” she replied.

“One?!” I said, incredulously.

“And a dog,” she added.

Great gossip A man sitting at the window one evening casually calls to his wife, “There’s that woman that the guy next door neighbor is in love with!”

His wife in the kitchen dropped the plate she was drying, ran into the living room, knocked over a vase, and looked out the window.

“Where? Where?” she demanded.

“Right over there on the corner. The lady in the blue dress.”

“You idiot! That’s his wife!”

“Yes, I know,” the husband grinned.

Ghost car A guy was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the middle of a storm.

The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly, he saw a car coming toward him and stop.

Without thinking about it, the guy got into the back seat, closed the door and then realized there was nobody behind the wheel!

The car started slowly; the guy looked at the road and saw a curve coming his way.

Scared, he started to pray begging for his life.

He hadn’t come out of shock, when just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared

through the window and moved the wheel.

The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared every time right before a curve.

Gathering his strength, the guy finally jumped out of the car and ran to the nearest town.

Wet and in shock, he went to a restaurant and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through.

A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy was serious.

About half an hour later, two guys walked in the same restaurant.

They looked around for a table when one said to the other, “Look, John, that’s the guy who got in the car when we were pushing it.”

Anniversary card In a stationery store, I quickly picked out a card for my wife for our anniversary.

The clerk was surprised by how little time it took me, and she began relating

a story about another customer who spent a half-hour searching for the right anniversary greeting.

Noticing the man lingering over one card after another, the clerk went to see if she could help.

“Is there a problem?” she asked.

“Yes, there is,” he replied ruefully. “I can’t find one my wife will believe.”

Bananas As part of the admission procedure in the hospital where I work, I ask the patients if they are allergic to anything.

If they are, I print it on an allergy band placed on the patient’s wrists.

Once, when I asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she said she couldn’t eat bananas.

Imagine my surprise when several hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses’ station demanding, “Who’s responsible for labeling my mother ‘bananas’?”

The direct object Christopher’s class was having an English lesson, and the teacher called on Christopher to recite a sentence with a direct object.

Christopher stood and thought, then said, “Teacher, everybody thinks you are beautiful.”

“Why thank you, Christopher,” the teacher said, blushing. “But what is the direct object?”

“A good report card next month,” he replied.

Reviving the romance A farmer and his wife had just woken up one morning to the crowing of their rooster.

While still in bed, the farmer’s wife said, “Pa, you know our neighbor, Mr. Brown?”

“Yes, Ma, I reckon I do,” replied the sleepy farmer.

“Well, every morning, before he leaves the house for work, he gives his wife a big ol’ kiss. Why don’t you ever do that?”

By Scoop Bellune The farmer sighed and said, “Well, I reckon I could, but I just don’t know her very well.”

Completely automated A man put his fifty cents in a vending machine and watched helplessly while the cup failed to appear and a nozzle sent coffee down the drain while another poured cream after it.

“Now that’s automation!” he exclaimed. “It even drinks for you!”

Lexington crematorium offers pet owners much-needed solace

Meet Burnside, the unluckiest man in American history and was cleaned out by gamblers on an Ohio River riverboat along the way.

He arrived after the fighting was over, and was stuck pulling guard duty in Mexico City.

Switching to the cavalry, he spent the next few years chasing Indians around the southwest, and was rewarded with an arrow shot into his neck for his efforts.

In 1853, he took off the uniform, went home to Rhode Island, met a nice woman and proposed.

T

Known for his signature facial hair, Ambrose Burnside still wasn’t lucky enough to claim even that namesake. The words were switched around at some point, and the style became known as “sideburns.”

Now, here’s the thing about Ambrose Burnside: he naturally, and without effort, presented the aura of a guy who had it all together. When people met him for the first time, they came away thinking, “Wow!” It’s not that he tried to deceive or pull the wool over anybody’s eyes; quiet, personally decent and almost soft spoken, he gave off a successful vibe that left people in awe.

But an officer who served under him said, “You had to be around him for a while to realize he just wasn’t that smart.”

He proved that with the blood of his soldiers in September, 1862 at the Battle of Antietam, when he ordered repeated attacks across a beautiful stone bridge.

Some 450 Georgians on the hilltop opposite it held off 14,000 Union troops for hours during charge after charge, killing a lot of good men.

Only later did someone discover you could easily wade across the creek a short way downstream, avoiding the Rebel stronghold.

Then, on the heels of that disaster, President Lincoln made Burnside commander of the entire Army of the Potomac!

I can’t find the exact quote, but historian Bruce Catton wrote something very close to, “It was to Burnside’s eternal credit that he told Lincoln he wasn’t up to the job, and to Lincoln’s eternal discredit that he didn’t listen to him.”

Because less than 90 days after the bloodbath at Burnside’s Bridge in Maryland, he hurled the entire Union army uphill at entrenched Confederates waiting for them in the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The result: 12,653 men were mowed down in a few hours.

Burnside was then bounced from one second-tier wartime command to another for the remainder of the war.

He was in Washington when Lee surrendered, and decided to celebrate the end of the conflict by going to see a play. Yup, you guessed it: he was sitting directly below Lincoln’s box in Ford’s Theatre when John Wilkes Booth crept up from behind.

In fact, the president was looking down at the time, and Burnside was among the last faces Lincoln ever saw.

Here’s what really boggles the mind: after this unbroken string of failure, Burnside returned to Rhode Island with his popularity intact.

He was elected Governor, helped found the National Rifle Association (NRA), served as national commander of the GAR (a Union veterans organization, like the VFW or American Legion), and capped it off by winning election to the Senate.

He died of a heart attack in 1881 at age 57.

Even in death, Burnside was unlucky one last time. All his life, he was famous for the fantastic, distinctive hair worn on both sides of his face, extending down to his shaven chin.

At the time, people called the style “burnsides.” But poor Burnside was denied his claim to fame.

Somehow, his name was inverted: you and I know them as “sideburns.”

“If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” In Ambrose Burnside’s case, truer words were never sung.

A Christian success secret Substituting for Chuck McCurry, who is on a mission trip this week, is Chronicle Editor Emeritus Jerry Bellune. This little story illustrates points Christian business people practice.

C

hristian business owners and entrerpreneurs may relate to this story.

Not everyone is cut out for business ownership. If this is your calling, the rewards are greater than anything in your paycheck.

There are few thrills in life like your first big sale or taking care of a customer’s or colleague's problem.

If you don’t see what you’re working at as a calling or a ministry, go find it somewhere else.

It’s difficult to be happy at your work if all it means is a paycheck.

Craig Wagoner, a former pastor who now runs the Wellmore retirement community here, told me he sees this as his new ministry. He gets up every morning seeing opportunities – not just problems.

That’s the kind of perspective on your work that pays big dividends.

Pete Oliver asked me at the Lexington Chamber of Commerce Lexpo how old I really am?

"I’m actually 19 in my mind,” I said, “but I’m older than you graciously think I am.”

"What’s your secret?” he asked. “You act like you really are 19.”

"It’s no secret,” I replied. “Successful people have been doing it for centuries.”

Pete is a smart, successful business man.

He coaches other business owners and helps start-up entrepreneurs.

Despite that, he looked puzzled. “Then what’s their secret?” he asked.

"Successful people do what they love,” was my reply. “They feel it is their life’s purpose. If you don’t feel that this is what you should be doing, you should be doing something else.”

District 5 girls summer camp gives students a first look into potential careers

By Derek Phillips District 5 Public Information Specialist

CHAPIN – About 45 rising eighth and ninth grade girls in District Five got a glance into what a future job may be like at the Center for Advanced Technical Studies’ second annual “District Five GEMS camp.”

The GEMS (Girls in Energy, Media and Space) were a select group of students who were recommended by their middle schools because of their interest in these three career fields. The camp was made possible through a $15,000 grant from Verizon.

“This is a critical time for these girls and their career exploration,” GEMS camp director Becky Cart-

er said. “This is an important time where we hope they will narrow their career focus.”

The camp, which ran from June 12-15, offered different sessions in energy, media and space. A few of them included building stomp rockets, creating short films and learning how a hovercraft works.

Dutch Fork Middle School rising eighth grader Rylee MacIssac hopes to pursue a career in acting one day and says having the opportunity to create a mini-movie was her favorite part of the camp.

“I am so glad that I had this chance to attend the GEMS camp because it really opened my eyes to what I would like to be when I grow up,” MacIssac said. “Instead of watching

how things work, it was really neat to be able to create projects on our own to see whether or not it is really something I am interested in.”

Campers also had the chance to hear from professional females in the

industries of energy, media and space each day. Carter says more than anything, this part of the camp was most important to the students because it proves there are opportunities for females in certain male-driven fields.

“For them to hear from these professionals and to see that nothing comes easy, but it is possible, is a great way to show them that they can have a future in these industries,” Carter said.

3rd-generation physician follows family tradition

B

rice Reynolds, son of Dwight Reynolds and his wife Debbie Brady, has followed his father and grandfather into the medical profession. Here is the story his mother shared with Chronicle Editor Emeritus Jerry Bellune.

Q. What compelled Brice’s grandfather, Dr. Wayne Brady, to want to become an orthopedic surgeon?

A. From the time he was a boy, he wanted to be a doctor. He had an uncle who practiced medicine in Hickory, N.C., and a hospital was named for him.

After his third year at the Medical University of South Carolina — then known as the Medical College — it was shut down because of World War II. He worked at the old Columbia hospital for a year and essentially manned the emergency room.

Back then, there was a white emergency room and a colored emergency room and he traveled by bicycle between the two.

He performed procedures that would never be allowed today and actually did surgery for a broken femur. He said he cut cleanly through skin, fascia and muscle and that the OR staff was impressed.

Can you imagine doing that for a year and then going back for your last year of med school?

Those ER experiences probably steered him toward orthopedic surgery.

As his daughter, I worked in his

orthopedic practice during the summers after my freshman and sophomore years of college.

My father thought I might like to be a doctor but worried that I would get married, have children and leave the profession. This was in the early 70s, before many women tried to “have it all.”

Speech-language pathology had medical aspects and combined teaching with healing.

The patient population could be diverse in age and type of disorder which made the variety of service very appealing.

Q. What was Dwight’s inspiration to enter medicine, particularly caring for abused and neglected children?

A. Dwight also wanted to be a doctor from the time he was a boy.

On career day in second grade, he announced that he wanted to be a doctor.

He vividly remembers his teacher telling him that he wasn’t smart enough.

After a major in English at Clemson, joining the Marines as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam war, and a career as a special education teacher, his old desire would not be denied.

He became a member of the charter class of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, graduated in 1981 as the oldest member of his class, and determined then that pediatrics was his specialty.

Becoming active in the care

and treatment of abused children came much later. As he says, “I wanted to be a voice for those who had no voice.”

His years of assessing and testifying on behalf of abused children he worked with at the Dickerson Center were very important to him.

Q. It may seem obvious to some why Brice chose to follow them, but that’s not always the case. What drove him to endure the rigor and demands of medical training?

A. Thanks to his pediatrician father, Brice was always respectful of medicine. It took his little brother to make Brice consider medicine as a career for himself.

On one of their first Boy Scout camp outs together, Brice’s little brother Caleb had a diabetic seizure when his blood sugar went too low.

Adult chaperones were unsure of what to do and beginning to panic, and only Brice knew to give Caleb sugary drinks to bring up his dangerously low sugar.

His brother then went immediately to the doctor and recovered safely.

After that harrowing experience, Brice realized that he could never accept a situation where he was cut off from help and didn’t know what to do in a medical emergency.

He realized the grave responsibility and life-saving opportunity of a career in medicine, and he never looked back.

Dr. Dwight Reynolds with his son, Dr. Brice Reynolds, just graduated from medical school at MUSC. They are with Brice’s grandfather, Dr. Wayne Brady, a retired orthopedic surgeon, who graduated from the same medical school 70 years ago. Dwight graduated roughly 35 years ago but from the USC School of Medicine.
