MCCS HAPPENINGS
Officers’ Club Spotlight
Chris Alexandre - Food and Beverage Manager of the Officers’ Club Happenings: What’s your favorite food to cook with and why? Chris: All of them because I love to eat! H: Where did your passion for food come from? C: When I was 15 years old, I worked at a restaurant in Connecticut and I loved the atmosphere and the whole experience. Working with food in a restaurant is an artistic expression and is like a being a part of a second family. H: What’s the most important thing any-
one has ever taught you about the restaurant business? C: Our guests are the reason for our being. They are not an interruption. Their needs supersede our needs no matter what happened to us earlier that day, and we’re here to serve them. H: Tell us a little about your background.
C: I have 31 years experience in the restaurant business, and I started out at 15 years old. I went to Johnson and Wales in Providence, Rhode Island for culinary arts and restaurant management. Then I went to work as executive chef at a resort in Copper Mountain, Colorado. I later became the area supervisor for Copelands of New Orleans for the east Texas restaurants. I moved to Beaufort in 2000 and basically worked as a jack of all trades. I later became the general manager and chef at Luther’s, and in April 2010 I began as the Food and Beverage Manager at the Officers’ Club. Contact Chris and the Officers’ Club at 843-228-7600

Keep Your Summer from Being “Wasted”
Considerations for keeping alcohol consumption under control As the summer months allow, we all look forward to spending some quality time with family and friends. Summertime provides us with a much needed vacation and many of us take advantage of some time away from work and other responsibilities. While most of us benefit from some “unplugged time”, there are those among us who are at risk of over indulging and causing serious consequences for themselves and others. For the masses, alcohol is a benign social substance that when used responsibly is of no consequence. For those who are uniquely vulnerable for a variety of reasons, alcohol can become a dangerous intoxicant which can lead to serious medical, social and behavioral outcomes. The risk factors that can lead one to abuse alcohol are biological, mental and social. A family history of alcohol related problems is a risk factor that is often seen as a biological marker that can place an individual in a more vulnerable position with alcohol. It is well established science that a family history can place an individual in a higher risk category for developing alcohol related problems. Another manifestation of this biological marker is the phenomenon of tolerance. Tolerance is the body’s unique response to alcohol. This unique response is seen when a person can drink larger and larger quantities of alcohol, yet is less sensitive to the impairment that the mind is experiencing. The individual is tricked by tolerance; while 2-3 standard drinks produce an effect, it now takes 4-6 standard drinks to produce the same effect. Other risk factors that can accompany the biological risk factors can be seen in perception and attitude of the drinker. If one believes “everyone is drinking heavy”, the tendency to follow that perception is heightened. The reality is that the social mores of a heavy drinking group do not necessarily represent the larger masses. The belief systems associated with alcohol and socializing can dictate how a person may choose to use alcohol. During these summer months it’s important to employ safe low risk guidelines when using alcohol. Some of those include, but are not limited to: (1) Never drink on an empty stomach. (2) Never drink while taking medication. (3) Never drink and drive. (4) Never drink when sleep deprived. (5) Always use the DD Program. (6) Avoid binge drinking. Let’s all enjoy a safe summer!

VA Headstones & Markers Update Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki announced 29 JUN that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is offering bronze medallions to attach to existing, privately purchased headstones or markers, signifying a deceased’s status as a Veteran. “For Veterans not buried in a national or state Veterans cemetery, or those without a government grave marker, VA is pleased to offer this option that highlights their service and sacrifices for our country,” said Secretary Shinseki. The new item can be furnished instead of a traditional government headstone or marker for Veterans whose death occurred on or after 1 NOV 90, and whose grave in a private cemetery is marked with a privately purchased headstone or marker. Under federal law, eligible Veterans buried in a private cemetery are entitled to either a government-furnished grave marker or the new medallion, but not both. Veterans buried in a national or state Veterans cemetery will receive a government headstone or marker of the standard design authorized at that cemetery. More information about VA-furnished headstones, markers and medallions can be found at http://www.cem. va.gov/cem/hm/hmtype.asp.
GI BILL Update On the 66th anniversary of signing the GI Bill into law, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced it has issued more than $3.6 billion in the bill’s newest manifestation, the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Benefit payments under the bill, implemented last year, have gone to more than 285,000 people and their educational institutions.
Health Care Reform Update Contrary to reports circulating on the Internet and a few newspapers, there is not a 3.8% “sales tax” or “transfer tax” on the sale of a home included in the recently signed health care reform bill. The analysis underlying these reports is incorrect and fails to take into account the interplay of the bill’s provisions with already existing real estate tax laws that remain unchanged. What was included in the health bill is a provision that imposes a new 3.8% Medicare tax for some high income households that have “net investment income.” Any revenue collected
AUGUST 2010
by the tax is dedicated to the Medicare hospital insurance program. This new tax will only apply to households with Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of more than $200,000 for individuals or more than $250,000 for married couples.

cuts went into effect doctors will stop taking new Medicare patients and, eventually, new Tricare patients. On 18 JUN before adjourning for the weekend, the Senate passed a six-month “doc fix” bill H.R.3962 by voice vote after extracting it from a larger tax and benefits package H.R.4213 that has been stalled for months. The House passed the Senate’s stand-alone “Doc Fix” Medicare bill (H.R.3962) 417-1 on 24 JUN. It was sent to the President for signature to make it law which Obama did the same day.
VAMC Charleston SC
Tricare User Fee Update On 15 JUN, Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA), Ron Paul (R-TX), and Walter Jones (RNC) as well as Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) released a copy of their letter to the National Commission of Fiscal Responsibility and Reform endorsing the recommendations of the Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force proposes a series of measures that could possibly save $960 billion between 2011 and 2020 by reducing personnel costs by more than $100 billion during that period by cutting 200,000 military personnel, yielding a peacetime active duty end strength of approximately 1.3 million, recalculating military compensation to curtail pay raises, and imposing substantial increases in military health care fees (i.e. Tricare).
Medicare Reimbursement Rates 2010 Update On 17 JUN the Senate fell four votes short of passing legislation that was needed to stop the 21% cut in Medicare payments to doctors that officially went into effect on 1 JUN. That provision was part of H.R.4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, commonly known as the Extender bill. Because of the complicated Senate rules they needed 60 votes to cut off debate on the bill and proceed with a vote. Senate leaders tried all week to change the bill in order to attract enough votes but no Republicans supported it. Doctors groups have been saying for months that if these

The Joint Commission, the accrediting body for all hospitals in the United States, was so impressed with the quality of clinical programs at the Charleston, SC, VA Medical Center during its recent survey that it sent surveyors’ comments praising the facility as “outstanding” to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. The Charleston VA far surpassed the national average for direct impact findings during the Joint Commission survey.
Tricare Nursing Home Coverage Update A new Tricare requirement is that skilled nursing facilities will have to preauthorize care provided to Medicare-eligible Tricare beneficiaries once Medicare benefits are exhausted and Tricare becomes the primary health coverage. Preauthorization is only required for skilled nursing facility care when medically-necessary skilled nursing services extend beyond Medicare’s 100day limit and Tricare becomes the primary payer for a beneficiary. Since medical documentation must be submitted, the preauthorization is requested by the skilled nursing facility and should not be a burden to beneficiaries or their families. In fact, since a Tricare coverage determination will be provided prior to extended lengths of care being incurred, dual-eligible beneficiaries of Medicare and Tricare will have the benefit of better planning for their extended health care needs.

“Lowcountry Summer” by Dorothea Benton Frank.

Return to Tall Pines in the long-awaited sequel to Frank’s beloved bestseller “Plantation.”
A Bookworm’s Recommendation By Samantha Bowersox August’s Pick: “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” introduces Mikael Blomqvist, a journalist, as he is being indicted for libel. He is sentenced to a brief stay in prison. After getting out, Blomqvist meets Henrik Vanger, the former CEO of Vanger Co., who wants Blomqvist to investigate the disappearance of his great-niece nearly forty years before. Blomqvist soon encounters the titular character, Lisbeth Salander, a computer-hacking prodigy in her mid-twenties, as she is investigating him. They become partners to solve the mystery of Harriet Vanger’s disappearance. If you find this book interesting, you should try these authors: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child and Danielle Trussoni

“Days of Grace” by Catherine Hall. Nora is just twelve when the war breaks out and she joins the train-loads of evacuees leaving London’s East End for the safety of rural Kent. Her surrogate family, the Rivers, are unlike anyone she has ever met and she soon comes to love her new life with them, in particular with their daughter Grace. What happens next is a secret that will gnaw away at Nora for the rest of her life – a secret that she can only begin to tell when she is certain that she is approaching the end. “Medium Raw” by Anthony Bourdain. The star of the hit TV series “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” takes us on a tour of the current state of world food, and the wild and weird chefs and personalities that inhabit it. The past 10 years of eating and drinking and traveling have provided plenty of fodder for Bourdain’s new book since “Kitchen Confidential” came out. “Pray for Silence” by Linda Castillo. In the quiet town of Painters Mill an Amish family is found slaughtered on their farm. Kate Burkholder and her small police force have few clues, no motive and no suspect. Formerly Amish herself Kate is no stranger to secrets, but she can’t get her mind around the senseless brutality of the crime. When Kate finds a diary kept by one of the teenaged daughters, Kate learns that the girl kept some very dark secrets and may have been living a lurid life. “Every Man in this Village is a Liar: an Education in War” by Megan T. Stack. A shattering account of war and disillusionment from a young woman reporter on the front lines of the war on terror. A few weeks after 9/11, a national correspondent was thrust into Afghanistan and Pakistan, dodging gunmen and prodding warlords for information. From there, she traveled to war-ravaged Iraq and Lebanon and other countries scarred by violence, including Israel, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, witnessing the changes that swept the Muslim world and laboring to tell its stories.

“In the Name of Honor” by Richard North Patterson. This novel explores the concept of honor—and how men and women can sometimes embody and sometimes blacken this lofty concept—in this riveting legal thriller. Set between two families, close for four decades, from service in Vietnam to a new generation of warriors facing combat in Iraq. Before the case is over, the defense learns that families, like war, can break the sturdiest of souls. “Twilight at the World of Tomorrow: Genius, Madness, and Murder at the 1939 World’s Fair on the Brink of War” by James Mauro. Former Cosmopolitan executive editor Mauro tries to underscore the irony of the 1939– 1940 New York World’s Fair, with its theme of world unity, opening on the brink of world war. Mauro has multiple narratives, moving between the evolution of the fair; war brewing in Europe; and Germany occupying territory (Hitler refused the invitation to have a pavilion at the fair). As, one by one, European nations closed their pavilions, due to the war; the fair’s theme rang increasingly hollow. “Crashers” by Dana Haynes. By 20 year journalist and first time novelist Haynes, Crashers is a widescreen, high-concept action thriller centered on a team of airplane crash investigators. The “Go-Team” usually has months to determine the cause of a crash, but this time is different: they have only three days before terror strikes again. “Reset: Iran Turkey, and America’s Future” by Stephen Kinzer. Reset is from the author of “Overthrow” and “All the Shah’s Men”. Kinzer offers an original and surprising critique and vision for rebuilding America’s strategic partnerships in the Middle East. He uses vivid storytelling about larger-than-life figures around the world to support his argument that Turkey and Iran are logical partners for the United States in the 21st century. “Frankenstein: Lost Souls” by Dean Koontz. Koontz puts a singular twist on this classic tale of ambition and science gone wrong and forges a saga uniquely suited to our time – a story of revenge, redemption, and a new invitation to the apocalypse. The war against humanity has begun – using stem cells, “organic” silicon circuitry, and nanotechnology a new race of super humans will be created into the perfect meddling of flesh and machine.
