COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

Marines, recruits will be housed at The Citadel MIKE MCCOMBS

No way this good deed was going to be punished

he world is a strange place right now. It’s a weird time to be alive. Life during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is simply something most people never envisioned. Isolated for the most part from friends and family, social distancing, not being able to spend time around other people can be difficult. And it’s easy to feel down, especially with the depressing stories that are all around. But the good stories are there, too. And locally, there are some good things are happening. One obvious example, already I’ve written about Cathryn in The Island Miller News, is Cathryn Miller’s effort to raise money for out-of-work food and beverage workers through Facebook auctions. She’s been doing her thing for just more than five weeks now and has raised close to $25,000. A couple hundred dollars at a time, she, and the people who have joined her effort, have made some people’s lives better, even if only slightly, and let them know their neighbors care about them. But on Monday, April 20, that nearly all came crashing down on what turned out to be a bizarre day. “I was out delivering auction items and went to the post office to mail some gift cards that had been won,” Miller said. “While I was there, the postal worker told me I had a certified letter, so I signed for it, got back in my vehicle drove to the next drop off location. While I was waiting for the auction winner to come pick up their items I opened the letter. “That’s when I read it.” The letter was from the Office of the Honorable Mark Hammond, Secretary of State for the state of South Carolina. In the letter, Hammond’s general counsel Shannon Wiley informed Miller that she was operating an illegal raffle and was being fined $500. It wasn’t particularly Miller’s auctions that had run afoul of Hammond’s office, but she actually had held several raffles in lieu of auctions, selling numbers 1-45 for drawings for the auction prize with the money going directly to the out-of-work food and beverage worker who was to benefit. Whether Miller or any of the participants knew it or not, this was a no-no. To fight it meant paying

By Mike McCombs The U.S. Marine Corps announced Tuesday afternoon that beginning Monday, May 4, recruits, instead of shipping to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, will travel directly to The Citadel in Charleston and will complete their 14-day staging period on campus. The change in destination was announced on MCRD Parris Island’s Facebook page. While in staging, recruits will be screened and observed by medical staff twice daily for the duration of the two-week period, according to the release. Approximate-

ly 600 personnel and 300 recruits will be housed at The Citadel. According to the release, the movement of personnel will be restricted to campus grounds as a preventative measure to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus. Following the two-week staging period, recruits will then be transported to MCRD Parris Island to begin training. According to the Facebook post, the ability to conduct staging of recruits in hard structure berthing, as well as on-site laundry, in-

firmary, and mess facilities, led MCRD Parris Island to a temporary partnership with The Citadel. As an additional measure against COVID-19, the Marine Corps implemented the 14-day staging period for every recruit arriving to Marine Corps Recruit Depots Parris Island and San Diego. Staging is one part of MCRD Parris Island’s mitigation efforts being employed at recruit training to combat COVID-19. A source had previously told The Island News that Parris Island and San Diego would alternate taking

in classes for their staging periods instead of receiving shipments of recruits simultaneously. MCRD Parris Island received its first class of recruits since shipments were stopped March 31 on Monday, April 20 at what the release calls an Expeditionary Staging Area constructed aboard the depot. According to sources, both MCRD Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort have been constructing “tent cities” to house Marines while infected Marines were housed in permanent structures, particularly on Parris Island.

Sources have told The Island News that the number of confirmed coronavirus cases on Parris Island has reached triple digits despite the fact that numbers released by South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) don’t reflect that level of infection. Ironically, as Parris Island is shipping staff and recruits off the depot, the civilians that work on the base are returning. Marine Corps Community Services, the largest civilian contractor at MCAS

Allen moving on

By Mindy Lucas

Longtime Beaufort County Coroner set to retire

or 12 years, Beaufort County Coroner J. Edward Allen, or “Ed” to most who know him, has stood watch over the deceased – longer, if you consider the 33 years he served as the county’s Director of Emergency Medical Services during which

he also served as deputy county coroner for much of that time. From those who have perished suddenly or unexpectedly, to those who have died from violence or at the hands of someone they knew, Allen has presided over their cases, having once said that coroners served as the voice for the dead.

But ironically, as he will also tell you, the role of coroner is as much about the living as it is about the dead. “You try and approach every call first, respecting the decedent, but also having compassion for the survivors,” Allen said recently from his office in Port Royal.

It’s a role that requires a high level of commitment and mental fortitude, and, as Allen said last week, it’s a role he’s ready to step down from. “My wife, my three children and my six grandchildren have said, ‘Poppy, it’s time to come home,’” he said smiling.

IF YOU BUILD IT

WIPED AWAY

By Bob Sofaly Kids forced to socially distance and stay at home are having a difficult enough time. But it’s magnified even more when they can’t get together with friends when birthdays roll around. But neighbors in Shell Point have solved that problem with birthday parades. Neighbors get together in cars, in golf carts, even on motorcycles, and parade passed the home

of the person having a birthday. There’s also a fire truck, courtesy of the Burton Fire District. Recently, Sydni Hendricks said told her mother, Mendy, the only thing she wanted for her birthday was for her stepdad, Clark Hovland, to be home. Hovland, a private contractor working in the Middle East, turned down a job just so he could give her what she wanted.

Beaufort Garden Club cancels Garden A Day event In light of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic, the Beaufort Garden Club has canceled its Garden A Day event which was to take place June 1 to July 5. “This was a very hard decision to make, but we believed it was the right thing to do in light of the uncertainties still remaining with the virus,” Pat Keown, Chair of Garden A Day 2020, said. “We just didn’t want either our volunteers or garden visitors to take any chances with their health. “We will be back next year, again the first week of June, and we look forward to seeing everyone then. Be safe.” The Beaufort Garden Club, the second-oldest garden club in South Carolina, has been holding its Garden A Day event every year since 1984. The event draws large crowds from South Carolina, surrounding states and even from as far as Canada.

New Beaufort County EMS station under way Fraser Construction has started construction on the new Beaufort County EMS Station located on Shanklin Road. According to Beaufort County EMS, the 3,715 square foot building is the first to be built specifically for Beaufort County Medical Services. With the relocation of an ambulance to the Shanklin Road site, there will be increased

coverage to the area and lowered response time. The station will house two apparatus bays for first response vehicles as well as five sleeping quarters and a kitchen for personnel. Architect Court Atkins Group took great care in the design of the EMS station. With farmhouse style shutters and handsome sconces for lighting, the sta-

tion has been designed with the Lowcountry landscape in mind. “While the Corona Virus has required us to make changes to our daily routine, we are right on schedule with this project,” Joe Fraser, President of Fraser Construction, said. The projected completion date is in late October 2020.

Community Foundation completes third round of grants Community Foundation of the Lowcountry has completed a third ground of COVID-19 grantmaking and distributed $34,250 in grants to two organizations located in Hampton and Colleton Counties. Both organizations are providing relief to local residents who are experiencing negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Community Foundation’s Community COVID-19 Response Fund was established in mid-March. In the first round of grants, 11 nonprofits received grants totaling

$198,050. The second round of grants awarded more than $90,000 to six nonprofits. All the organizations are located in the Community Foundation’s four-county service area of Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties. The community has donated more than $240,000 to the Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund, according to Kerrigan. The Community Foundation has added an additional $200,000 to the fund. A special COVID-19 grants advisory committee, comprised of

community leaders from Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties, was established to review the grant applications. The following organizations have received grants in this third round of applications: Love Abound CDC (The Joseph Storehouse) – for food pantry expenses and emergency housing relief for Hampton County residents who have increased needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CCEDC Two, Inc. (Colleton Commercial Kitchen) – for food

to expand their services to reach an underserved segment of the Colleton County population which faces increased food insecurity caused by the coronavirus. The fund is still accepting donations. If you’d like to make a tax-exempt donation to the Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund, you can do so by visiting the Community Foundation’s home page at www.cf-lowcountry.org or by going to the fund’s donation landing page at https://cflowcountry.civicore.com/covid.

PROTECTING THE DUNES

In their continuing effort to open Hunting Island State Park by the end of the month, officals this week are erecting nearly two miles of sand fencing to try and keep the newly renourished sand dunes in place. The dunes will be protected by the traditional fencing installed by Beaufort’s Patterson Construction. A spokesman for Patterson on Thursday, April 23 said that with no weather-related issues they can install 2,000 feet of fence a day. Photo by Bob Sofaly.

Beaufort or MCRD Parris Island, returned to full staff on Monday, April 27 after being at essential personnel only. In a letter to employees, South Carolina’s MCCS Director Jack Snider tried to reassure those returning to work that every precaution was being taken to protect them. “I would like to reassure you that this decision was not made without taking the safety and well-being of our employees into consideration,” Snider wrote. Ironically, while recruits that were shipped to Parris Island were tested for COVID-19 immediately upon arrival, MCCS employees are not being tested as a prerequisite for returning to work on the depot or the air station. McMaster extends state of emergency S.C. Governor Henry McMaster on Monday extended the COVID-19 state of emergency executive orders for an additional 15 days. With the extension of the executive orders, Governor McMaster's previous coronavirus (COVID-19) mandates remain in effect: non-essential businesses must remain closed and Section 16-7-10 of the South Carolina Code of Laws "illegal acts under state of emergency" will continue to be enforced.

NEWS & EDUCATION

Schools revise grading criteria for 4th quarter The statewide closure has prompted school districts across the state to adjust their criteria for fourth-quarter grading of students. Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez consulted extensively with district teachers and principals in developing revised grading criteria to assess student performance for the fourth quarter. A brief summary of those grade-specific criteria follows.

PreK-Kindergarten PreK-Kindergarten students will receive progress reports at the end of the school year that summarize what they are doing well and where they need to improve. These progress reports will take into account work the students did prior to the statewide school shutdown as well as work they did at home after the shutdown. Work done after schools

were closed will be graded for student engagement only, although teachers will be able to use their end-of-the-year progress reports to help students better understand the material.

Grades 1-5 Grades for at-home learning for grades 1-5 will measure student engagement based on completion of assignments (online or work packets), participation in online classes or phone calls with teachers. Students will receive numeric engagement grades in three categories: Meets Expectations (100), Approaches Expectations (85) and Does Not Meet Expectations (70). Many students who perform well under normal circumstances may find it difficult to learn without in-person access to their teachers. Learning at home during the shutdown has been an ad-

ditional struggle for students whose families aren’t capable of supporting their academic work. Teachers will take such extenuating circumstances into consideration with their grading. While parents should do their best to help students complete their assignments, in some cases it may not be possible to complete all work. Students will receive credit if they attempt to do the work, and teachers will assign grades based on their assessments of students’ engagement. Teachers may ask students to revise and improve their at-home assignments. Middle and High School Students The South Carolina Department of Education has directed that rather than receiving separate grades for the third and fourth quarters, students in grades 6-12 will receive a single second semester grade combining

work completed before the school shutdown with student engagement at home while schools were closed. At-home learning grades will measure student engagement based on completion of assignments (online or work packets), participation in online classes or phone calls with teachers. Middle and high school students will receive numeric engagement grades in four categories: Meets Expectations (100), Approaches Expectations (85), Does Not Meet Expectations (70) and Work Not Submitted (50). Many students who perform well under normal circumstances find it difficult to learn without in-person access to their teachers. Learning at home during the shutdown has been an additional struggle for students whose families aren’t capable of supporting their academic work. Teachers will take such extenuating circumstances

into consideration with their grading. While parents should do their best to help students complete their assignments, in some cases it may not be possible to complete all work. Students will receive credit if they attempt to do the work, and teachers will assign grades based on their assessments of students’ engagement. Teachers may ask students to revise and improve their at-home assignments.

needed in Congress today,” Landing said in a release. “They understand, as I hope our Lowcountry neighbors do, that in order to break up the Washington swamp and achieve real results for the district and country – we must elect the person with the life experiences, education, and business experience best qualified to do so.”

issued Thursday, April 23 due to low pressure. Late Friday afternoon, BJWSA announced that the latest water sample analyses indicated the water was free from bacteria and safe for human consumption, and the boil advisory was lifted. BJWSA suggested customers flush their system – running bathtub and sink faucets for 10 minutes or until the water was clear – and apologized for any inconvenience this incident may have caused.

Seniors The South Carolina Department of Education has directed that high school seniors will need to have all work completed by May 15, and teachers will ensure that senior curricula have been completed by that deadline. The school district is considering possible ways to celebrate graduation if schools remain closed and social distancing requirements remain in place.

Beaufort County man arrested on child pornography charges

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Shawn Anthony Lambe, 54, of Beaufort on three charges connected to the sexual exploitation of a minor. Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office made the arrest. Investigators with the Attorney General's Office, also a member of the state's ICAC Task Force, assisted with the investigation. Investigators received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) which led them to Lambe. Investigators state Lambe possessed

multiple files of child pornography. Lambe was arrested on April 20. He is charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, third degree, a felony offense punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment on each count. This case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office.

Hopeful Horizons support line remains open during pandemic

Hopeful Horizons is working to spread the message that its services are still available for victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization’s hotline or crisis line will now be called a Support Line, conveying the message that services are available for any abuse victim at any time. “We hear survivors say they didn’t call because they thought someone else’s crisis was more important,” Kristin Dubrowski, Chief Executive Officer, said. “Now, more than ever, we want those who need our help to know that we are here for them 24/7. We don’t want anyone to wonder if their situation is serious enough to call a crisis hotline. All calls are important to us and we want to help you.” The support line, 800868-2632, continues to operate 24/7 during the pandemic. This free and confidential line is for support, obtaining more information and connecting with resources. Anyone who wishes to start receiving Hopeful Horizons’ services – and anyone who is not sure what to do – is welcome to call. Services for child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault can be accessed through the support line. Hopeful Horizons is a children's advocacy, domestic violence and rape crisis center that works to create safer communities by changing the culture of violence and offering a path to healing. The organization serves Beaufort, Allendale, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties. For more information on the mission and vision of Hopeful Horizons, visit www.hopefulhorizons. org.

AP, IB, Dual Credit, and Quarter Classes (Block Schedules) Students taking Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Dual Credit courses will be graded using traditional methods because these courses carry potential college credit. Students should talk with their teachers for specifics on grading and course expectations during the shutdown. Schools on block schedules have several classes that started right at the closure. Teachers of these courses introduced new content and will grade students as they normally would so there are enough assignments to justify a grade. Economics and Government is typically a senior-level class. Because seniors now must complete all work by May 15, that course’s curriculum has been adjusted so students can complete the content.

SC receives annual tobacco settlement payment

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced Wednesday, April 22 that the state secured $75,250,164.97 in its share of the annual tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) payment. In 1998, the Attorney General’s Office joined 45 other States, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories in settling claims with the then-four major U.S. cigarette manufacturers. The MSA is the largest financial recovery in legal history. \Since the MSA was signed in November 1998, about 50 other tobacco companies have signed onto the MSA and are also bound by its terms. The settlement imposes major restrictions on the industry’s advertising and marketing, and it provides states with annual payments in perpetuity to help reimburse the states for healthcare costs and harm caused by tobacco use. South Carolina’s payment primarily goes to the S.C. Department of Health and Human Services for the Medicaid program. The Attorney General is tasked with enforcing the tobacco statutes that were enacted pursuant to the MSA and works with the attorneys general across the country to actively and successfully enforce the provisions of the MSA. Since 1998, South Carolina has received a total of $1,664,216,330.05 in its share of tobacco MSA payments.

HEALTH

Beaufort Memorial will resume some elective surgeries Beaufort Memorial is preparing to resume some elective outpatient surgeries in its Surgery Center while deploying strict environmental, screening and testing protocols to protect patients and staff. The Beaufort Memorial Surgery Center is located on the hospital campus in a stand-alone facility. The move comes weeks after the hospital discontinued elective procedures fol-

lowing Governor McMaster’s request that hospitals cancel cases to preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) for an anticipated surge in COVID-19 cases. Earlier this week state officials announced that the “peak” had passed as the numbers of cases began to level out in mid-April and hospitals’ capacities statewide began to increase. “We’re going to move slow-

ly and judiciously to schedule cases in our outpatient surgery center,” said BMH President and CEO Russell Baxley. “We have put into place several processes to ensure staff and patient safety and, while the measures may seem overly conservative, we believe they are in the best interests of everyone involved.” Those measures include temperature pre-screening

for every staff member before entering the building; COVID-19 testing of every patient three days prior to surgery; self-isolation for three days before surgery; completed patient temperature logs due on the day of surgery; and prohibiting visitors from entering the building. Patients will receive detailed instructions for self-isolating and completing the temperature log. They

also will be given an appointment for their COVID-19 test. Anyone who experiences a temperature greater than 99.5 degrees or symptoms of respiratory illness during self-isolation will be instructed to call their provider and visit one of two Express Care clinics for evaluation to determine if their surgery will proceed or be rescheduled for a later date. Any patient who tests pos-

itive for COVID-19 will be treated and provided instructions for self-isolation for 14 days. “Our number one priority is the safety of our patients and staff,” Baxley said. “We believe that a slow and steady approach to this process is the best course, and it is one we will continue as we evaluate resuming services and surgeries in the hospital on a go forward basis.”

orderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a tricky beast. According to the DSM-5 – the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the U.S. – there are nine symptoms that contribute to this disorder. At this time, only four of the specified symptoms are required to receive an official BPD diagnosis. Countless symptom variations are possible. Each person with BPD may present in their own unique way. The exact symptoms an individual experiences may morph throughout the recovery process. This is why BPD is such a hard condition to recognize and diagnose. Often those with BPD are mislabeled bipolar, PTSD, or another per-

Allen, 71, plans to officially retire at the end of this year. In the meantime, Allen’s contributions – from creating the county’s first emergency medical services department to expanding the coroner’s office – won’t soon be forgotten in Beaufort County. Serving the community Born and raised in Beaufort, Allen attended Robert Smalls High School before leaving home in 1967 to attend Xavier University of Louisiana, in New Orleans. He was a pharmacy major before transferring to the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science, in Cincinnati, Ohio. After he returned home in 1972, he worked as a pharmacy technician and became director of transportation for Beaufort-Jasper Comprehensive Health Service’s ambulance service. He went on to become certified as an emergency medical technician, an EMT instructor and as a paramedic. In 1972, Beaufort Technical College, as the Technical College of the Lowcountry was known then, launched a basic emergency medical technician pilot program. After completing the program, Allen became certi-

Not to mention, this was a citation that could remain on Miller’s record, affecting her ability to get certain jobs. It’s fair to say Miller was devastated. “Once I read the letter, I was shattered and very very upset and I just didn’t think I had the energy to fight it,” Miller said. “I’m tired.” At 11:30 a.m., she shared the letter with her followers, turned her phone off and

There can be this belief of friendships, romance, and belonging that don’t really exist. A person with BPD may not understand their behaviors are alienating and offensive. That person may truly feel their interactions with others are positive and appropriate. Often, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. One subset of this particular symptom is the inability to recognize social cues. What may be completely obvious to some can fly entirely under the radar for an individual with BPD. Someone may feel intimidated to directly address these negative behaviors. This is especially true if disproportionate anger is a co-occurring symptom. More often than not, the behaviors of an individual

with BPD can be distressing to those around them. Someone may choose to remove themselves from the situation entirely in an effort to avoid a possible ugly confrontation. This is the perpetual cycle someone with BPD endures. I personally struggle with causing disharmonious environments. I am almost never aware that I am doing it. Those around me would rather not confront my behavior based on my inconsistent reactions. I can be receptive to constructive feedback or I can become volatile. As my level of unawareness perpetuates, so do my negative behaviors. Sometimes I am not included in certain activities. Sometimes I am asked to stop participating in certain activities. Sometimes people walk out

of my life entirely. I am left completely clueless as to why these things happened. I feel blindsided because of my inability to recognize the countless signs telling me my behaviors are not acceptable. I honestly believed that what I was doing was fine. The majority of the time I think what I am doing is pretty positive. Even with the best intentions, my actions may not be well received. This profound ignorance is a well versed downfall of those with BPD. If a person with BPD sees, hears, and smells something, then how can it be untrue? Third-party perspective. People, for the most part, are social creatures. I would like to believe people with BPD don’t take great joy in their alienating behaviors.

I would like to believe with a higher level of self-awareness great strides in recovery are possible. Unfortunately, some things may never change. Therapy, medication, coping skills, support systems, and the inherent desire to do better can’t offset disjointed neuropathways. A lamp with faulty wiring just won’t light up the way it’s intended or expected to. An individual with BPD needs to reach a level of acceptance to recognize their own limitations.

ner in 2008, the coroner’s office responded to 896 deaths. By contrast, the office responded to 1,447 deaths, just last year. Based on the numbers through the end of March, Allen said he expects that number to exceed 2019’s numbers. Expanding services and adding staff and resources to accommodate the county’s growth can be largely

he said. Obtaining space for a morgue was one of Allen’s goals which he accomplished when moving to the new facility. Finding ground for a pauper’s cemetery is another though that effort is still in the works. To date, the county has 58 unclaimed bodies. Asked what the hardest part of the job is, Allen will

Building a department For years the coroner’s office was housed in a cramped former FEMA trailer in Burton. There was no morgue – bodies were stored at Beaufort Memorial Hospital or Hilton Head Hospital – and hardly any office space for the office’s growing staff or records. That all changed in 2014, after the coroner’s office

moved into the former Department of Disabilities and Special Needs building on Old Shell Road in Port Royal. The 6,300-square-foot completely renovated building now houses a morgue, office space for its four-person staff and team of transporters and various other county offices such as the victims assistance. As Allen will tell you, the role of the coroner is to determine the cause of any death not obviously due to natural causes. But what many may not realize is the coroner’s office is also responsible for performing independent investigations into traumatic deaths, deaths that occur outside of hospitals and deaths that occur “suddenly or unexpectedly.” The coroner’s office also routinely sends off toxicology reports to an independent lab it works with. Reports can take as much as eight weeks to get back, but thanks to the popularity of forensics or criminal investigation TV shows, people often think Allen and his staff should have everything wrapped up in thirty minutes or less. “In reality it doesn’t work like that,” he said. The biggest challenge the department has faced in recent years has been a growing Beaufort County, which also has a larger population of older residents. When Allen became coro-

attributed to Allen, Chief Deputy Coroner David Ott said. “This place has changed big time since he’s been the coroner,” said Ott, who has worked with Allen for 12 years. Coroners from across South Carolina have come to see how the office is set up. “We have one of the most prized coroner’s offices in the state,” he said. A former Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office investigator, Ott will be running for Allen’s vacated seat this fall, with Allen’s endorsement. Of Allen, Ott says his boss has been “a very good leader and teacher to the entire staff.” “It’s been a wonderful time to serve by his side,”

tell you without hesitation it is dealing with the bodies of children. For that the soft spoken Allen had no words. And sometimes the deceased is someone he or his staff knows. “Beaufort County is still small in nature,” he said. “So many of the people we call upon we know either personally or we know someone in the family.” One memory that stands out above all others is the call he received after Hurricane Matthew in 2016. A number of bodies had floated up out of caskets or grave sites from a nearby cemetery on a swollen Chowan Creek. Allen rode out by air boat with Beaufort Water Search and Rescue to help identify the bodies and, in some cases,

take custody of those that could not be immediately identified. “We had caskets that floated from St. Helena Island to Hilton Head,” he said. “So it wasn’t just in one portion of the county.” The first casket he came to contained someone he had known, Allen said. All together they would recover 26 bodies during that time. To get through tough times like the flooding incident, they frequently check in on each other or will sometimes call each other after someone has responded to a call. “We’re like a family here,” he said. And it also doesn’t hurt that his wife, Andrea, is a retired mental health professional. Family is something that’s particularly important to him, said longtime colleague, Janet Horton, who described Allen as “a great boss.” An administrative deputy coroner, Horton said Allen asks about hers every day. “He’s definitely a community person,” she added. “He cares about people.” It’s a job that comes with a high degree of commitment, but for the soon-to-be retired Allen it’s something he says has been rewarding. “I can honestly say I’ve never had a day that I did not want to come to work. …,” he said. “This is something you have to be dedicated to.”

disappeared from the world for a couple hours. And that’s when the magic happened. Miller’s Facebook group, now more than 3,200 strong was angry, motivated and determined. Group member Lisa Fisher contacted attorney Luke Paulick, who offered to help Miller for free. Frank Lesesne, who owns the Anchorage Inn, reached out to State Representative Shannon Erickson, who in turn reached out to Miller. And numerous members of the group, determined to encourage and help Miller fight the fine and citation, began to send her money via the same online cash apps they had been using to help unemployed servers and

bartenders. Many others attempted to contact Miller, asking what they could do to help and if she knew what she was going to do. “All this happened in the couple hours I had my phone turned off,” said Miller, who returned to the group, now considering fighting the citation. Meanwhile, group member Donnie Polk passed the news along to TV stations. But more importantly, he told his friend Victor Webster about Miller’s plight. Webster joined the Facebook group at about 4 p.m. Owner of Charleston’s Sweetgrass Vodka, Webster initially told Miller to fight the citation and fine and that he’d help. But then he said

not to do anything, yet. He might be able to take care of this. Webster had a wild-card. He knew S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson. And he put in a call. And at 6:19 p.m., after a really rough seven hours for Miller, Webster posted this: “Great news!! Alan Wilson (SC Attorney General) just called me. He talked to Mark Hammond (SC Secretary of State) and Mark is going to waive the fee. Cathryn, send me your phone number. Hammond wants to contact you. Alan told me to tell you that he thanks you so much for helping our citizens in need!!!” Miller was shocked. “I just want to say that my friend Victor Webster is

a true hero for helping out Cathryn Miller in her time of need,” Polk posted. Shannon Wiley, from Hammond’s office, reached out to Miller, clarifying that as long as the money went straight to the person in need with no middle man, Miller’s Facebook group wouldn’t have to even register as a charity. She sent her an email the next morning, confirming as much. “Obviously, I learned a very valuable lesson on some South Carolina laws,” Miller said, “but the biggest takeaway from that day would have to be the community support and how people I have never even met rallied around to help and basically performed a miracle. Little did I know when I started this

group that I would be the one ending up needing help. “That was something I have never experienced before. … I never asked for help. In the couple of hours I turned my phone off, they all got together and the outcome was just incredible.” The experience has only increased Miller’s love for her adopted town. “My husband and I had always planned to retire back in Australia,” she said, “but the more we spend time in this community, the more we are not going anywhere.” Mike McCombs is the editor-in-chief of The Island News.

sonality disorder. It’s entirely possible these could be co-occurring conditions. The root of the problem is the depth of misunderstanding about BPD within the community of professionals attempting to treat it. Each symptom presents a unique set of challenges. Based on my first-hand experiences, I believe the symptom of distorted reality and unstable self-image has the potential to cause the most harm. fied as an instructor for the same program and taught at the technical college for several years. After funeral homes left the ambulance service in 1974, Allen was hired to serve as director of the county’s first emergency medical services (EMS) department, becoming the first black EMS director in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Allen was charged with setting up the department and hiring all of its personnel. Even though EMS is a separate department from the coroner’s office, Allen became a deputy coroner in 1980, providing then coroner Curt Copeland with additional support. “At that time, the coroner’s office was really a one-person operation,” he said, remembering when the office purchased its first van to transport bodies. “This was the first time the county had a functioning coroner’s office,” he said.

I can honestly say I’ve never had a day that I did not want to come to work.”

SPORTS & VOICES

Remainder of spring high school sports season canceled By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com The decision that went from unthinkable to inevitable over the course of the past month became official last week — there will be no more high school sports in South Carolina this school year. The S.C. High School League (SCHSL) Executive Committee voted unanimously to cancel the remainder of the spring sports season on April 22, shortly after Gov. Henry McMaster and S.C. Department of Education Superintendent Molly Spearman announced schools will remain closed through the end of the school year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The S.C. Independent Schools Association (SCISA) followed with an announcement that it will also cancel the remainder of the season. “In line with what we’ve done in

the past, no school in session means no sports,” SCHSL Commissioner Jerome Singleton said prior to the Executive Committee’s vote on ending the spring season. “We held out hope as long as we possibly could,” SCHSL Executive Committee President Ozzie Ahl said. “It’s definitely not a decision this committee wanted to deal with. Our hearts go out to the students and coaches.” Looking ahead to the fall season, the committee then voted unanimously to allow the SCHSL to open the season on or after June 1, when social distancing restrictions are relaxed, and to rescind the “dead week” around July 4 to allow fall teams to make up for lost practice time this spring. During a separate press conference, McMaster and Spearman indicated they will create a task force aimed at reopening schools in August.

Déjà vu – The hippies are back again

y friend Cindy called the other day and asked “Lee, do you have any berets or scrunchies?” She knows I have a good supply of both, but I am used to seeing clips in her hair. When I questioned her about it, she said, “Oh, it’s not for me. It’s for my husband.” Ah, yes! Hair has been growing for all of us since the salons have closed. No one is getting a haircut nowadays, except when a spouse allows their better half to clip it. But we do know what a disaster that could turn out

to be. Looking around now, the men’s hairdos are reminiscent of the 1960s. The other problem with beauty salons being closed has to do with hair dyes.

There is a joke on the internet that reads “88 percent of the blondes on the Earth have disappeared over the past month.” But it is not just the blonde issue. For some women, it has been a real shock since they have not seen their true hair color for years. Suddenly, white and gray are very prevalent hair colors. Now I realize hair salons are closed and losing money every day, but I do not think they will have a problem getting appointments when they open. There is an overwhelming demand for haircuts.

But they may find a shortage of the professional hair coloring supplies. My daughter, who has a professional “hair enhancement” (as she calls it) once a month suddenly looks like a member of a Gothic band. Her kids think she looks hip, but Andrew her hairdresser has warned her NOT to use any drug store bottled hair dye for the fear of making it worse. And speaking of “Hip,” my own spouse needs a Scrunchi of his own. His hair has always grown quickly, and John on Bay Street always

does a good job. Fortunately, the last time he went in, John gave him a nice short cut, so it has taken longer to grow out. Now the Hubby said he is considering a ponytail so he can embarrass his kids. Of course, it is not just the hair on the top of men’s heads. It seems like a good deal of them have just stopped shaving completely. For those men who can work at home and do not have to go to their office, the incentive to shave in the morning is gone. The popular GQ look of two months ago is

now a Grizzly Adams look. As for me, I am not having a problem. My hair is growing out and when everyone else was looking for hand sanitizers, I was in the hair product aisle of my drug store. Now I am part of the 12 percent of blondes that are still on the Earth. Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

VOICES

War or revolution? Who can say?

e have become inured to the metaphor of waging “war” on some evil. Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” The Tea Party’s “Culture Wars.” And now, sadly, the “War on novel coronavirus.” Alas, all these so-called “wars” were lost. This metaphor is now just a trite empty burger. I prefer to think of the “war on COVID-19” as a revolution. Let us examine the common elements of most revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries. Seems to me they all share the same characteristics with the deadliest and most existential challenge we have faced in a century. 1. Revolution is a zero-sum game; there is a winner and a loser, usually one winner and many losers. 2. Revolutions are almost always violent, with great loss of human

DAVID TAUB

life and treasure. 3. Revolutionaries are almost never prepared to carry-out one, and almost always underestimate the costs in lives lost and economies destroyed. 4. Revolutions almost always lead to drastic changes in governments and unforeseen changes in cultures, in the societies of both winners and losers. There is a story about Henry Kissinger who carried the torch of President Nixon’s desire to open up an engagement with China, by meeting with Mao Zedong. True or not, it is a won-

derful story and goes like this: Kissinger was nervous about how to open his dialogue with Mao. He decided on something non-political, so he asked Mao what he thought of the French Revolution. Mao paused for a moment, and then replied, “Too early to tell.” And so, it will be with the COVID-19 Revolution. But you can be sure that it will share many characteristics of other “revolutions.” Because it already does. Upon reflection, I think we are witnessing a worldwide revolution, one that will promulgate changes in every nation, state, culture, and ethnicity. These changes will be dramatic in ways we cannot begin to understand, predict or envision. Just as in virtually every other revolution, the Principal of Unintended Consequences will rule the day. So, you might say, “So what?” War or revolution.

What the hell? Killing is killing; dying is dying. If I am correct in this assessment, how we deal first and foremost with stopping the continuing spread of this dreadful killer-virus, with its concomitant loss of life and destruction of economies, will be substantially different from the chaos characterizing our present approach. Consequently, I expect our government, culture, values, and mores will undergo transformations we cannot begin to fathom. COVID-19’s revolution has dramatically demonstrated how tragically our nation-wide health care system is unprepared to protect most of its citizens, or even provide basic health care for the most vulnerable of our society, pandemic or no. Because there is a dearth of testing kits/materials and sufficient trained medical staff to conduct them, even if they were available (which they are not), we cannot

test the massive numbers required to assess and understand what is actually happening in this Revolution. At present we are testing about 45 per 100,000 of population; the experts say we need at least 150 tests per 100,000 population — three times the current rate. At present, no one can receive a test unless they exhibit physical symptoms associated with COVID-19. The failure of our national government to react appropriately to this revolution has already led to exhortations from the White House that it should exercise absolute powers that violate the most basic circumscriptions of our precious Constitution. It’s not the first attempt at emperorship; it won’t be the last. Among the most potent and consequential words in American history are those set forth in the second sentence of our Declaration of Independence: “…

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our government owes us a guarantee to those rights. A bad government that fails its citizens in its most basic responsibility, which is to protect life and limb, is grist for the mill of revolution. Alexis de Tocqueville observed: “The social order destroyed by a revolution is almost always better than that which immediately preceded it, and experience shows that the most dangerous moment for a bad government is generally that in which it sets about reform.” David M. Taub was Mayor of Beaufort from 1990 through 1999, and served as a Beaufort County Magistrate Judge from 2010 to 2015. He may be contacted at david.m.taub42@gmail. com.

A lot of life has happened on our deck

any years ago — perhaps 1980 — Roy Gray knocked on the door one morning saying, “You need a deck.” “Yes,” I sleepily replied, “One day my wife and I intend to add-on some kind of wooden extension off the dining room.” “That day is today,” he said. And before the sun set on that Saturday, Roy and I had poured footings and were well on our way to a 20-by27-foot platform, canopied by a grove of huge magnolia trees. It is Saturday, 40 years later, and I’m sitting on that deck in Port Royal. It is wooden, light colored 2x4s revealing recent repairs. There are also four Adiron-

SCOTT GRABER

dack chairs and two planters with intensely green holly ferns. All of which have been silent witness to thousands of conversations. Some of these conversations were painful, many were celebratory, almost all of them alcohol assisted. But painfully or painlessly, this deck took us from our enclosed, climate-controlled, white-painted rooms and projected our small family into the humid, febrile, par-

asite-rich Lowcountry out of doors. This morning that deck is empty, conversation-free, a Southeasterly breeze providing the only soundtrack. As I sit with my Eight O’clock (French Roast) coffee, my memory takes me back to fundraisers (Governor Hodges); birthdays (vocals provided by the incomparable Jan Spencer); and dance parties that came with trophies for cutest couple, best hair and best breath. When my wife and I got to town in the 1970s, there was an older generation still living — mostly on the Point. They had seen the Depression and World War II and had come back and founded banks, law firms and businesses. And these

older folks mixed easily with a younger cohort made up of Marine Corps pilots, young doctors and newly minted lawyers. Willie Scheper would tell stories about his bank; Leroy Keyserling would talk about financing the first shrimp boats to operate out of Beaufort. The young pilots, not to be outdone, would talk about flying through flack just above Hanoi. This was a time before reliable television in Beaufort — we got a weak signal from Savannah. It was a time when there were just a couple of restaurants, bars or places to congregate. It was a time when long, night-time conversations were considered first-rate entertainment.

But what sticks in my mind about this particular deck were the small, oneon-one conversations with excited friends who had just won office; or devastated friends who had just lost a father; or a son tentatively handing me his report card. I also remember late nights when my wife and I were just home from parties and reluctant to go to bed. We would sit in the darkness and recount the conversations, evaluate the Beef Wellington, mimic the voices of those who would be having a very rough morning after a long night of vodka and cranberry juice. Our deck, now empty, is also testimony to the fact that we are a gregarious people who need constant

contact with other people. We are a species that loves storytelling. mimicry, pantomime and give and take with an edge to it. Yes, we love to listen — at least for a while. But we love to perform when its our turn. I miss this congregating, this storytelling, this face-toface connection that I have always taken for granted. I also miss the fact that I can’t hug anyone anymore. Although I was an Army brat I grew up “southern” — I grew up hugging my cousins, grandparents and my kinfolk. (As far as they were concerned a handshake was an insult.) Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal. Email Scott at cscottgraber@gmail.com.
