After a ceremonial start to the search for Stuarts Town in June, the real archeological work in the weeklong effort to locate the 17th-century Scottish settlement got underway in earnest Monday, Aug. 8. The team is led by Chester De Pratter, Ph.D., from the University of South Carolina and Charles Cobb, Ph.D., from the University of Florida. "This is the initial search for the remains of a colony that lasted only two years,” Depratter said. “We will be digging a couple of hundred small holes totaling 400 to 600 square feet in an area of about 40 acres. We hope to show that The Point was oc cupied in the 1680s, and if we are ex tremely lucky we will find remains of a burned Stuarts Town house in one of our small shovel tests. No matter what, we will document the multiple periods of occupation in The Point over the past three centuries.” Stuarts Town got its start in No vember 1684 when 51 Scottish set tlers seeking an opportunity to prac tice religion freely landed on Port Digging into the Beauforthistoryearlyof

ON THIS DATE Is County Council tone deaf? In our last general election, County Council placed a referen dum on the ballot for a 1% Sales Tax increase. It was resoundingly defeated by more than 70% of the voters. Did they not get the message?Currently, (Council) is propos ing to, once again, increase our sales tax by 1%, but not for capital and infrastructure projects. This time, they are abrogating their responsibilities to control and regulate growth, using current zoning codes, regulations and environmental restrictions. They have allowed unfettered building of cramped developments and be come amazed when traffic conges tion and public anger increases. So, rather than do the job that we elected them to perform, they will increase our sales tax, amid rising inflation, looming recession, increased job loss, and rabid price increases, meanwhile decreasing tax revenue, by buying up and removing properties from the tax rolls. All in the name of slowing out-of-control growth they are responsible for! Yes, this Council is tone death, especially after they voted themselves a pay raise last year, while you lost your income due to lockdowns and business closures during the pandemic. What can we do? Act now, write your member, show up at the Monday, Aug. 8 meeting and get your voice heard. Tell them, "Do your job! No new taxes!"

The Beaufort County Tax (of fice) needs people working there that know what they are doing. We moved from Bluffton to Beau fort 28 months ago. They never changed the address for the boat we have. They did for the motor. We only send out payments for what ever we receive in the mail or online. We paid the boat motor tax that we received in the mail. When we were prepping the boat for the summer we saw that the boat tag was out of date. Going online, we saw that the boat address was not updated.Icalled the County tax people; they looked it up and said it was the SCDNR's fault. I called the SCDNR, talked to them, they had the correct address. After talking to the County three times and the SCDNR three times, I went online and paid the tax of $60 plus a $10 late fee. I called the SCDNR, talked to them and had to mail in a $30 late fee. I mailed out the $30 fee with copies of the paid bill with the county June 16. As of today the SCDNR has not received the check. Either the SCDNR lost it or the U.S. Postal Service lost it, as I mailed it at the Post Office. Now I have to print out the latest email from the SCD NR and mail another check and pay money to the bank to have a stop payment on the other check! Our late fee's and stop payment fee are more than our tax.

By Tony Kukulich A suspect wanted in con nection with a May 2022 shooting on St. Helena Island turned himself into the Beau fort County Sheriff’s Office, Sunday, Aug. 7. Upon his arrest, Dakari Ayise, a 25- year-old Beau fort resident, was charged with attempted murder and possession of a fire during the commission of a violent crime. He was incarcerated at the Beaufort County De tention Center and awaiting a bond hearing. According to county records, Ayise re mains in confinement. Darius Ayise, the 21-yearold brother of Dakari Ayise, was killed when the brothers exchanged gunfire with an other man who has not been identified. Investigators said the shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the men. The Island News previously reported that three people –the two Ayise brothers and an unnamed woman – were trav eling in a vehicle near the 400 block of Seaside Road at ap proximately 5:30 p.m. on May 27. Gunfire was exchanged between the occupants of the vehicle and a man standing outside of a residence on Sea side Road. Both brothers were injured by gunfire. The two shooting victims were driven to a nearby gas station where they were met by deputies and Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services paramedics. Both men were transported by am bulance to Beaufort Memori al Hospital, where Dakari Ay ise was treated and released. Darius Ayise was transferred to Medical University of South Carolina for treatment of a more serious injury. He died June 2 as a result of his gunshot wound. A Sheriff’s Office investiga tion recovered two handguns from inside the vehicle in which the trio was traveling. Investigators obtained an ar rest warrant for Dakari Ayise, who could not be located after his release from the hospital. The Sheriff’s Office advised that he was considered armed andThedangerous.identity of the man who fired the shots that killed Darius Ayise and injured Da kari Ayise has not been re leased. It is unknown at this time if he faces charges in the incident. Tony Kukulich is a recent transplant to the Lowcountry.

While anyone can con tract MPX, most cases in the U.S. and in the state have occurred within social and sexual networks of men who have sex with men, ac cording to Bell. MPX can be spread during sexual con tact, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. The use of a condom is unlikely to provide protection against the transmission of the virus from an infected person to an uninfected person. Avoiding intimate contact with an infected person is the best way to prevent the spread of MPX. Additionally, DHEC advises that anyone who may have come into contact with a person in fected with MPX wear a face mask. Frequent hand wash ing, particularly after contact with an infected person or a person suspected to be in fected, is also recommended. “Before engaging in sexual activity or intimate contact, people should ask their part ner if they’ve been feeling well, or if they’ve developed a new rash,” Bell advised.

The state has secured 1,500 doses of an MPX vac cine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administra tion, and vaccination efforts began late last month. The vaccine utilizes a two-dose regimen. To date, outreach has focused on the commu nities most impacted by the virus. DHEC expects to re ceive an additional 5,200 doses in the next phase of the vaccine roll-out. Ap pointments for vaccinations are being accepted at 14 clin ics across the state for those who are “Thereeligible.isavery limited na tional supply of the generic vaccine, so we are prioritiz ing high-risk groups in each public health region and of fering the vaccine for as long as supplies last,” Bell said.

Though the risk to the general pop ulation remains low, we encourage the public to in form themselves about MPX through reliable sources in cluding the DHEC website, which is scdhec.gov/MPX.”

Monkeypox cases confirmed in Lowcountry
The South Carolina De partment of Health and Envi ronmental Control (DHEC) has announced that cases of monkeypox (MPX) have been identified and con firmed around the state and in the Lowcountry region. “DHEC has been planning and conducting response ac tivities for the current MPX outbreak since late spring of 2022,” State Epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said on Aug. 3. “To date we have reported 23 confirmed cases of MPX in South Carolina. This is in cluding 10 in the Midlands, seven in the Lowcountry and six cases in the Upstate.” The number of confirmed MPX cases in the state as of Aug. 8 has increased to 39 according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC describes mon keypox as a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. It is part of the same family of viruses as variola virus, which causes smallpox. Monkeypox symp toms are similar to smallpox symptoms, but milder. The disease is rarely fatal. There have been more than 8,900 confirmed MPX cases nationwide. Califor nia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Texas account for the majority of U.S. cases. Speaking during a press conference, Bell provided information regarding the state’s response to the out break of the virus. The press conference came just a day before the Biden adminis tration declared a public health emergency due to monkeypox.“Ending the monkeypox outbreak is a critical priority for the Biden-Harris admin istration,” U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a press release on Thursday, Aug. 4. “We are taking our response to the next level by declaring a public health emergency. With today’s declaration we can further strengthen and accelerate our response.”
MPX symptoms begin with a fever and a flu-like illness followed by the devel opment of a flat, red rash on the face. The rash progress es to puss-filled skin lesions. Scabs develop on the lesions in seven to 14 days. The disease is spread through prolonged face-toface or skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact, with an infected person ex periencing active lesions. Less typically, the disease can be spread by contact with contaminated items like clothing or linens. “It is close, intimate con tact that is driving the out break currently,” Bell ex plained. “Contact with things in the environment such as door knobs or handrails are not a risk at this time. It is unlikely that someone can get MPX through routine community activities like going to grocery stores or restaurants, or something like being in an elevator with someone. The risk to the general public is low, and the risk of widespread disease is low because the virus is not easily spread.”

Green from page A1 Royal Island. The plans for the settlement included 220 lots, though just a fraction of those were likely claimed during the town’s short exis tence. Spanish forces traveled up the coast and burned Stu arts Town in 1686, an act of retaliation for an attack con ducted by Yamassee Indians on a Spanish settlement. It was believed that the Scots provided the Yamassee with weapons for their attack. The Scottish settlers, none of whom were killed in the Spanish attack, fled Stu arts Town for the safety of Charleston. The action by the Spanish sealed the fate of Stu arts Town. It was never reset tled and its location has never been definitively established. DePratter, Cobb and their team of five professional ar chaeologists, three Ph.D. stu dents – one from the Universi ty of Michigan and two from University of Florida – and one USC undergraduate hope to change that. “We have permission to dig in 35 house lots, four city parks and the Green owned by the Beaufort County Open Land Trust,” Depratter ex plained. “We will dig as many small shovel tests as we can this week depending on the frequency of thunderstorms. The first day did not produce any clear evidence of Stuarts Town, though artifacts still need to be washed and ana lyzed in order to know pre cisely what we found.” Evidence will likely come in the form of charred remains of the structures burned by the Spanish or fragments of bro ken pottery that was unique to the Stuarts Town era. The first holes dug back in June were in the yard of Beau fort Mayor Stephen Murray in and nearby Morral Park. An array of objects spanning 300 years of the sites’ occupation were found including ceramic fragments, glass, a button and pieces of a clay pipe. The start of the official dig was also marked by a presen tation on the history of Stu arts Town and by Larry Row land, Ph.D., of the University of South Carolina – Beaufort. Rowland also addressed the history of the search for Stu arts Town, which was origi nally believed to have been in the area of Spanish Point. According to Rowland, De Pratter questioned that con clusion.“Chester Depratter has been looking for Stuarts Town for at least 30 years that I know of,” Rowland said. “He’s come up with the idea that this area, downtown Beaufort, was the easiest place to settle. It was an easy landing.” This area had an added advantage. There was a re liable source of fresh water nearby, which was a resource not always easy to find in the brackish marshes and creeks that dominate the sea islands.“This is a very plausible theory of Chester’s,” Row land added. “He’s out there testing it as we speak. He has this idea that the settlement was east of Carteret Street. That would be the easiest place for them to go.” Cobb, DePratter and their team are expected to contin ue their dig through Friday, Aug. 12.

For example, if land is zoned for 500 homes, there are ways to negotiate to bring that down to 300 homes without us ac tually owning county proper ty but we’re bringing down the rooftops in Beaufort County. We can build more roads. We can build more schools. But we’re always going to be chasing the tail over and over and over until we can bring down the num ber of rooftops in Beaufort County.”Thereferendum passed by a wide 9–1 margin on its third reading before the council. District 4 Coun cilmember Alice Howard was the lone holdout who opposed its approval. While Howard referenced her longtime support of land preser vation initiatives, she took issue with several provisions of the “I’vereferendum.seenvarious methods on how to (preserve land),” Howard said. “I don’t regard this as a good method, nec essarily, to buy development rights from things that have already been approved by the municipalities. For 20 years, the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Lands pro gram has existed since 2002 and they’ve only spent $141 million. Now we’re propos ing to spend $100 million in twoHowardyears.” acknowledged that the money raised does not need to be spent in the two-year window that the tax exists. She noted concerns about future County Coun cils purchasing land outside the county and potentially exercising condemnation rights to acquire land. “I don’t think this is the right referendum at the right time for Beaufort County resi dents,” Howard added. State Senator Tom Davis countered that the Green Space Sales Tax was written in a manner that allows it to work in concert with the Rural and Critical Lands program. “You can integrate them into the selection process,” Davis said. “You can integrate them as you go about evalu ating land. In fact, This law was drafted with that in mind. I was familiar with the Rural and Critical Lands program and how successful it’s been down here. When I drafted this legislation, it was to give the county enough latitude so that it could adopt what pro cesses it thought was best. I had in my mind, quite frankly, the Rural and Critical Lands program.”Details regarding how the $100 million raised by the ref erendum will be spent need to be determined before the November election. Several points are clear. Any expendi ture will need to be approved by the County Council. A sev en-member advisory board will be established, but its role will be limited to ensur ing that the council is using the funds in a manner that is consistent with the terms of theAccordinglegislation.to Davis, the county is obligated to publish a fully developed process for managing the funds raised via the tax prior to the No vember election. “Your action here tonight is the first step in a process, and then you’re going to have to go ahead and articulate what that process is going to be,” Davis said. “And that will be provided to the public before theAnnvote.”Ubelis, Chair of the Beaufort County Tea Party, was one of several who spoke in opposition to the referen dum arguing that raising tax es during a recession is ill ad vised, and that sufficient tools in the form of zoning and en vironmental legislation exist to slow growth. “Use those tools,” Ubelis said. “We voted you in to curb growth. A lot of you ran on a promise of curbing growth, and I don’t see that happen ing. I see more growth now than when I moved here 20 yearsContraryago.” to Ubelis’ posi tion, White presented the re sults of a survey that found widespread support for the referendum in the county. The poll, completed by the Coast al Conservation League, the Trust for Public Land and the Conservation Voters of South Carolina, queried 300 poten tial voters in Beaufort County. Results indicated that 64% of voters were in favor of the 1% sales tax with a two-year term. The survey also found that 65% of respondents felt the county was growing too fast. “Beaufort has long been a leader of conservation in this state,” White said. “Over whelmingly, Beaufort County voters support land preserva tion.”

10. Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep may affect how much pain a person can tolerate. Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep a night, accord ing to the Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention (CDC). Proper comfort and back alignment are essential for sleep quality and avoiding back pain in the morning. Ex tra pillows can help align the spine in the proper position while sleeping. Head pillows should support the curve of the neck comfortably. When sleeping on the side, a pillow between the knees can keep the spine aligned.
Getting enough sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, playing a crucial role in pro tecting both physical and men tal health. Not getting enough sleep can lead to sleepiness during the day along with nap ping—the habit of taking short sleeps ranging from a few min utes to a few Accordinghours.tothe National Sleep Foundation, a short nap of 20-30 minutes can help im prove mood, alertness and per formance. However, napping for longer than 10-20 minutes can lead to sleep inertia—a feeling of disorientation that comes from waking after a deep sleep—as well as poten tially having a negative effect on the length and quality of nighttime sleep. Besides poor sleep habits, many of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes are linked to lifestyle, including physical inactivity, excess weight and poor diet.
1. Exercise to get muscles moving. Movement is beneficial for lower back pain. A person can incorporate regular exer cise into their daily routine to keep muscles strong. Some exercises may help minimize the risk of lower back pain due to strengthening the tor so muscles. It can be chal lenging to get up and move when back pain strikes. How ever, a short walk, aerobics, yoga, water aerobics, swim ming, or another low-impact activity can help alleviate back pain. Exercise may loos en tense muscles and release endorphins, the brain’s natu ral pain relievers. A person can consider starting a daily exercise pro gram that includes strength training and stretching to help keep muscles flexible and strong. Regular exercise may prevent future back pain episodes that are due to tight muscles.
12. Manage or reduce stress. Moderate to high levels of stress may link to lower back pain. When to see a doctor. People can often treat back pain with home remedies and some patience. However, a person should speak with a healthcare professional about chronic or severe back pain. A healthcare professional may recommend physical therapy, medication, or other treat ments. People with existing health conditions or who take regular medications should speak with a medical profes sional before trying herbal medications or supplements.

Up to 80% of adults will experience low er back pain at least once in theirThelives.back muscles and spine support much of the body’s weight. A person uses the muscles for everyday movements, including sitting, standing, and walking. Peo ple can also experience pain in other areas, including the neck and middle and upper back.Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibupro fen or acetaminophen, may help relieve pain. Once a healthcare professional has ruled out serious conditions, a person may find home rem edies to help manage their symptoms. Home treatments may in clude the following.
Long naps and daytime sleepiness could increase risk of diabetes Excessive daytime sleepi ness and long naps can signal many things, from working late to sleep disturbance. Accord ing to a new study, however, daytime sleepiness and taking long naps may both also be as sociated with an increased risk of type 2 Previousdiabetes.studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of taking short naps, but the new analysis suggests long naps could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
7. Try Arnica. Arnica is a homeopath ic remedy that people can apply directly to the skin to treat muscle pain, swelling, bruising, and minor injuries. While there is little scientific research to prove that Arnica is effective, it has a low risk of side effects, and some people may find it helpful.
6. Try massage. Massage may offer shortterm benefits for lower back pain. Soft tissue massage can involve kneading, friction, gliding, vibration, or percus sion techniques. A person may use massage in conjunc tion with other treatments. There are few risks or ad verse effects when using massage—however, a person should not receive massage if they have: a skin infec tion or severe inflammation, a burn, any non-healed frac tures, an active cancer tumor site, deep vein thrombosis.
2. Improve posture. Poor posture can result in nonspecific lower back pain. The following types of ex ercise might improve both posture and lower back pain: yoga, pilates, tai chi, core stability exercises. These exercises—aerobic exercise, walking/running, swim ming, may improve the co ordination and activation of torso muscles. These exercis es help reduce pain, decrease tension and muscle spasms, and improve torso stiffness. Some people may also find cycling helpful for lower back pain. It is also important to con sider your posture when sitting, standing, or walk ing. A person should try to lift the head and pull the shoulders back, rather than slumping forward and tight ening abdominal muscles. Avoid repetitive postures: lifting heavy items or sitting for long periods may result in back pain. Stand correctly: distributing weight on both sides of the body rather than leaning on one leg or side. Being aware of posture and trying to correct it may seem difficult at first, but it can help reduce the possibility of fu ture injuries.
8. Switch shoes. Wearing unstable shoes, high heels, or ill-fitting shoes may result in lower back pain. A 2015 study found a link be tween wearing high heels for long periods and having back pain. Wearing very flat shoes also strains the feet and back.
11. Make diet changes. A 2020 study found that people with chronic spinal pain were more likely to fol low a diet low in whole grains, dairy, and fruit. Added sugars could also increase the risk of spinal pain. Anti-inflamma tory foods may help reduce pain.

3. Use heat and cold. A person can use hot and cold packs to reduce swelling and soothe the pain. Use ice packs directly after an injury, such as a strain. A heat pad can soothe an achy back, in creasing blood flow, which en ables healing. If a heat pad is unavailable, a person can use a hot water bottle or heat a cloth bag of uncooked rice in the microwave. 4. Stretch. Stretches may help relieve back pain. A person should hold each stretch for 30 sec onds or as long as it feels comfortable.
Home remedies for fast back pain relief
According to the Occu pational Safety and Health Administration in the United States, a proper workstation may help reduce back pain and other injuries. A person should ensure their comput er screen is at eye level and that their chair is at the cor rect height. If a person does any lifting for their job, they should squat and use their legs—not their back—for sup port. It is best to ask for help or use trolleys when moving very heavy objects.
5. Apply a pain-relief cream. A variety of pain-relief creams that can provide some relief from back pain are available in pharmacies and online.
If your children are starting sports practices for fall, it’s im portant to know heat illness can sideline young athletes. “Students who are play ing football, soccer, softball, baseball, lacrosse, track, ten nis, almost any outdoor sport played in hot weather, may experience cramping. Even during practice they’re get ting tight cramps, those kids are probably behind on their electrolytes,” said Richard So, MD, pediatrician with Cleve land Clinic Children’s. Dr. So said heat illness is usually the result of overex ertion in hot, humid weather and can cause fatigue, mus cle cramping or heat stroke— which can be deadly. He recommends drink ing plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. In fact, he ad vises athletes drink water the night before to ensure they’re well hydrated when they hit the field. Once play is underway, in addition to water, he suggests saltier drinks and snacks to replace lost electrolytes and prevent cramping. It’s also a good idea for kids to take fre quent breaks. If an athlete appears to be suffering from heat ex haustion, which may include headache, irritability, vom iting, dizziness, or fainting, it’s important to lower their body temperature as soon as possible. “You put ice over their large arteries and blood vessels. You put ice in their groins, ice in the armpits and hose them down,” he said. “Number one thing is cool them down, get them in the shade and then get them as hydrated as quickly as you can. Obviously oral hydra tion would be the best.” Dr. So said an athlete who is vomiting in the heat should be observed, cooled down, rehydrated, and not return to activity that day. If they have slurred speech, are confused, agitated, or having hallucina tions, they should get medical help right away.

Chest pain, heart palpi tations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, nausea: Are you having a heart attack or a panicDoctorsattack?and psychologists agree you shouldn't take a chance on it not being a heart attack.That's because the symp toms of a heart attack and panic attack are so similar that it sometimes can be hard to tell the difference said Dr. Glenn N. Levine, chief of cardiology at the Mi chael E. DeBakey VA Medi cal Center in Houston. "If in doubt, one would want to err on the side of caution and be quickly evaluated in an ER to make sure this was not a heart attack."Heart attacks can be sud den and intense, but most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort that gradually worsens over a few minutes. These episodes might come and go several times before the actual heart attack occurs. A heart attack happens when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off, usually by blockage of coronary arteries. Calling 911 and getting immediate treat ment is critical. But if a medical workup shows your heart health is good, then you might have had a panic attack—especially if intense fear, the hallmark symptom, accompanied the physicalAnxietysymptoms.became much more common after the pan demic started in March 2020. And the rate remains elevated at 28.9%, based on data from early June 2022. Thea Gallagher, an anxiety expert and clinical psycholo gist at NYU Langone Health, often sees people who have been through a battery of tests, sometimes multiple times. Despite getting a clean bill of health, they are con vinced something is physical ly wrong with them. They're not incorrect, she said. "It's not all in your head. It's the fight or flight response. The alarm system is going off. But with a panic attack, it's burnt toast–not the house on fire," Gallagher said. Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that can cause repeated panic attacks. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 3% of U.S. adults— es pecially women—experience panic disorder in a given year. Almost 5% of U.S. adults expe rience panic disorder at some time in their lives. Panic attacks come on quickly and generally reach peak intensity in about 10 minutes. They can be trig gered by a traumatic event or major life stress, but they also can occur for no apparent rea son."They mess with your head," Gallagher said. "Your brain can't make sense of what's happening."Aperson's reaction to a pan ic attack often compounds the problem, she said. "They start avoiding situations that could bring on a panic attack. Panic disorder is "very mis understood but very treat able," Gallagher said. Expo sure therapy is "actually a very empowering treatment, to see people gain control over it." And while a panic attack might make you feel like you're having a heart attack, an actual heart attack is a medical emergency. Chest pain is the most common symptom, but women are somewhat more likely to have other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea and back or jaw pain. A 2016 scientific statement from the American Heart Association said women are undertreated for heart "Despiteattacks.decades of effort to raise awareness, it is not appreciated by patients and doctors that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women," LevineExpertssaid.say women and men should discuss their risk of heart attack with a health care professional, who can help identify and treat risk factors such as smoking, di abetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. But, Levine warns, even people without risk factors can have heart disease. So, when in doubt, he said, get symptoms checked out.
10 nutrition myths debunked
Options & References for a Healthier Life Everywhere That People Care The trusted Care magazine is now back in print as a regular con tributor to The Island News, with Karen Mozzo as editor. Together we’ll deliver information, references, and options for a healthier life.
4. Full-fat products equal weight gain. The fat-free and low-fat diet trend is a thing of the past— the 80s and 90s to be exact. Yet, some people are still scared of fat. This shouldn't be the case, as fat has bene ficial functions, like protect ing our organs, maintaining cell membranes, promoting growth and development, and absorbing essential vi tamins. Be aware that fats aren't created equal, though. Choose heart-healthy unsat urated fats, such as olive and canola oil, nuts, nut butters, and avocados over those that are high in saturated and transfats, such as fatty meats and high-fat dairy products.
9. The best way to decrease your sodium intake is to stop using the salt shaker. The 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends having no more than 2,300 milligrams of so dium per day. The average American consumes 3,400 milligrams of sodium per day. The problem isn't as easy as taking the salt shak er off the table. Much of the excess sodium that Ameri cans consume from their diet comes from the salts added to processed, ready-to-eat foods and restaurant meals. Limit the processed foods and enjoy freshly made, home-cooked meals. 10. Low-fat or fat-free products are healthier choices. Many products labeled low-fat or fat-free contain added sugar or sodium to make up for the loss of flavor when removing or reducing fat. In addition, fat helps with satiety—making you feel full er longer. Choosing a fat-free product to reduce calories can backfire, as you may find yourself snacking soon after.
5. Avoid carbs if you want to lose weight. The low-carb diet is a fad diet that has continued to make an appearance over the years. It gives carbo hydrates—fruit and whole grains included—a bad repu tation. People who followed this diet have had success with weight loss, but anytime someone eliminates high ly processed carbohydrates foods, such as chips, cookies, white bread and potatoes smothered in butter and gra vy, they would be expected to have the same results. Any diet or eating program that eliminates an entire food group gets a red flag, as one is likely to miss out on vital nutrients.
3. Use unrefined sugars, such as honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar in place of white table sugar. Sugar is sugar. Although unrefined sugar options may contain a small number of vi tamins and minerals, the ad vantage is minimal. They are still considered added sugar and contribute to the recom mended daily limit on added sugar in the diet.

8. Certain foods, such as grapefruit, cayenne pepper or vinegar, can burn fat. Unfortunately, no foods burn fat, make you lose weight more quickly or in crease your metabolism enough to affect weight loss. Diets that focus on single foods, like those mentioned above, are restrictive and lack nutrients the body needs. They're also unsustainable, and any weight loss that may occur is a result of calorie re striction and will likely come back once you discontinue.
6. A detox diet will clean toxins out of the body. There's little evidence that dietary cleanses do any of the things they promise. The fact is you don't need to pur chase a product to cleanse your body. Your liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract do a good job of detoxing it ev ery day. If you're looking to rejuvenate your body, focus on eating more whole foods, drinking water and removing highly processed foods from your diet.

2. Everyone should follow a gluten-free diet. Unless you have celiac dis ease or gluten intolerance, you don't need to avoid glu ten. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Whole-wheat products have great nutritional bene fits, including essential B vi tamins and fiber. Be mindful when manufacturers remove gluten, as additional sugar, salt or refined starches often are added to make up the dif ference in flavor and texture. If you follow a gluten-free diet for medical reasons, check the ingredient list and Nutrition Facts label to make sure you choose a healthy op tion.
By Allyn Wergin, R.D.N., Clinical Nutrition Services, Mayo Clinic Health System, New Prague and Le Suer, https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/Minnesota;discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-10-nutrition-myths-debunked/
How to tell the difference between a heart attack and panic attack
The best advice if you want to eat healthy is to al ways look at the Nutrition Facts label when choosing among fat-free, low-fat and regular. Pay attention to sugar and sodium content. Choose whole foods versus processed, and make sure you are drinking enough water. If you feel you need a more specific menu, ask your health care professional for a referral to a dietitian or nutri tionist.
7. You shouldn't eat anything after 7 p.m. While late-night snacking can lead to weight gain or prevent weight loss, it's not because of the time on the clock. Instead, it's about why you're eating. It is common to reach for food for reasons other than physical hunger in the evening, whether it be a habit, boredom, or craving. Be mindful about what you eat more so than when.

As with many artists, she engaged in a variety of art forms before finding her voice. But over the last 20 years, quilting has become her passion. Fleuranges-Valdes is known for her bright colored fabric and uses them to bring joy and movement to her work. “I think quilting allows me to express a part of me that has been tucked away for so many years. One of the things I learned early on was that I could define what a ‘quilt' was to me. I didn't have to follow a pattern, I didn't have to get permission to use the colors I liked, I didn't even have to quilt about something I knew or did,” Fleuranges-ValdesFleuranges-Valdes’said. tex tile art has been displayed throughout the United States at quilt shows, art galleries and included in many publica tions. She has won numerous awards for her work and has been a featured artist at quilt conventions, as well as to quilt guilds and fiber groups.

(My friends who fish tell me that our warm, coastal water is full of basking sharks.) We also read that Charles ton, Savannah, New Orleans and San Antonio have again made Travel and Leisure Magazine’s list of “Best American Cities.” I suppose I’m happy to know that I live between two of America’s best cities — Charleston and Savan nah — but when I was in the United Kingdom nobody seemed to know where these two cities were located or had any interest in visiting either place. In fact, when I encouraged them to visit the United States, people (I talked to) said they were not coming because of “guns.” When I was younger (in the 50s) I lived in San Antonio; went to college in Charleston in the 60s; and by the 1970s was living 45 minutes north of Savannah. When I was growing up, San Antonio, Charleston and Savannah were on nobody’s “Best List” and were never described as being charm ing or walkable or having “knock-out” food. When asked most people would say it was the smell (of sulphur) that they remembered about Savannah and Charleston rather than the aroma asso ciated with sautéed shrimp. San Antonio had its socalled river, but in my youth it was more of a landscaped drainage ditch with the occasional

My parents believed in travel but, in those olden days, we wanted spectacle and scale — the Empire State Building, the Grand Canyon, the World’s Fair in Queens. In those days our vacations involved a large hotel, an impossibly expensive hamburger in the hotel restaurant topped off with an effort to “summit” the Statue of Liberty. Some of you know that Susan and I have been traveling — mostly by rail — in the UK and in Italy. What we were seeking was 13th-century architecture; “bangers and mash” washed down with artisanal, smallbatch beer; an engaging bartender who could talk Wolverhampton football.

But the hotels, restaurants and mobile, peddle-powered bars appear to be going full tilt in Charleston, New Orle ans and Savannah.

Beyoncé, Lizzo: When ‘Black girl magic’ grows up Words like “super star” and “icon” get tossed around all too easily nowadays. It’s like younger people have heard us use the terms and want to assign the statuses to their cultural signifiers before they have been earned. I’m not saying the newer artists have to produce anoth er “Thriller,” Michael Jack son’s towering 1983 musical moment. From his moonwalk performance during the “Mo town 25” television special to the horror film music video produced for the title track, we all kind of knew that was a once-in-a-lifetime album. But can these new guys at least produce another “Bad?” Seriously, who else but Jack son could have a “disappoint ing” followup that sells 45 million copies? It’ll be interesting to see where the latest album from the current queen of soul, Beyoncé, ends up. I’m not sure “Renaissance” is her best album, but driven by the disco-drenched first single, “Break My Soul,” it is definite ly the album of the summer of The2022.whole album drips with influences from disco, Chicago house, and New Orleans bounce to 70s soul. Nile Rodgers’ signature rhythm guitar licks pop up on “Cuff It,” Grace Jones grabs co-lead vocals on “Move” and Big Freedia’s voice helps drive “Break My Soul.” Other contributors include Raphael Saadiq, Sheila E., Nigerian songstress Tems and Pharrell. It’s like Queen Bey threw a party and invited everybody to help her make a mixtape. Not even death is not an ob stacle when you can sample, and Donna Summer shows up on album standout “Sum mer Renaissance” (I see what you did there, Bey), which leans heavily on Giorgio Moroder and Summer’s 1975 classic, “Love to Love You.” We are directed at the be ginning of “Alien Superstar” to not leave the dance floor and from that track through the suite of songs compris ing “Cuff It,” “Energy” and “Break My Soul,” there’s no reason anyone would dare consider it. “Church Girl” fools you into thinking it’s time to get a drink to cool off, until that bass drops. Then it’s time to get back out there and dance in ways you can ask forgiveness for come Sunday morning. In the end, it’s this mixtape quality that undermines “Re naissance” for me. Too many tracks have samples and flourishes that remind me of other, better, songs. When Beyoncé’s voice is placed front and center (“Plastic Off The Sofa” and "Virgo’s Groove”) she shows she can sing as well as anyone in the business, but too much time is spent letting the music take the lead. She’s too talented for so much of this album to sound like it was designed to be chopped up for TikTok and Instagram videos. One the flipside is Lizzo’s latest album, “Special.” The woman Apple Music calls a “plus-size powerhouse” released her fourth album a few weeks earlier, and while it’s not getting the buzz of Beyoncé’s album, it has al ready generated a top single, “It’s About Damn Time,” with more likely to come. Lizzo borrows from 70s and 80s rhythm and blues on the first single, but her voice is the main attraction throughout the album. This personal approach carries over to the lyrics. “I keep on writin' these songs/‘Cause he keep on doin' me wrong/And my girls keep singin' along, uh/I guess that I'm not alone.” Whereas Beyoncé comes across like the leader of a movement, listening to Lizzo feels like hearing from a friend who spills on her life’s ups and downs without losing her perspective, posi tive attitude or wicked sense of Therehumor.are a couple tracks I can pass over — she riffs on the Beastie Boys’ “Girls” to little effect — but there’s nothing out there as appeal ing as the title track: “In case nobody told you today/ You’re special … I will always love you the same/You’re special.” I’ve caught myself humming that more than a few times lately. Both albums are too casu al with profanity. The first line of each contains one of George Carlin's famous seven words you can't say on television. Young people should listen to the sani tized hothitssummer,mightBeyoncé’sversions.“Renaissance”bethealbumofthebutLizzo’s“Special”likeacoolbreezeonasummerday.

I consider it an honor when the Lord arranges di vine appointments for me to minister as His messenger. I enjoy talking with people about God and the Christian life, and sometimes He will open a door for me to listen to someone’s problems and I ask for His wisdom and guidance when I respond. I’m always reminded of the passage in Proverbs 11:14 that says, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsel ors there is safety.” In my years of being a minister and chaplain, the most common challenge that people have is trusting God. I agree it is not easy to manifest faith, in fact, it might be one of the most difficult things within the Christian life. We love the idea of a quick fix, but most of the time God is just as concerned with teaching and developing us as He is with giving us a miracle. Why? Because He is trying to reveal to us that His love for us and our love for Him is more important than anything else we are seeking. We never need to be stressed or wonder if God is strong enough or wise enough to figure out how to help us. He has all authority and power, He is the Alpha and Omega, He knows everything, can do anything, and when we need a miracle, He is the only one who can make it happen. What we really need to be concerned about is making sure we are in position to receive from Him. What do I mean? We do not hand a child a chainsaw and the reason is obvious. They are not old enough or strong enough to handle something that could injure them. It’s not that they can never use one, but they need to wait until the time is right. Likewise, if we devote our lives to Him and wait for His timing, this will allow our spiritual maturity to advance us into His perfect will. If we are not in position to receive or we give up and throw in the towel, our doubt cancels what He was preparing to do. This is why we must hold on like a bulldog to His promis es and allow patience to have her perfect work. We can assure people that God will always do what He promised as His word cannot fail, yet they will still ask, “So how much longer must I wait for Him to help me?” Have you ever considered that maybe He is waiting on you? I can say this with confidence because it’s hap pening with me. He’s waiting for us to pray and mountain-movingbuildfaith, and not just trust Him with our words but with our hearts. He’s waiting for us to surrender our will to Him, to build determination and perseverance, and to stand strong on His truth as we de clare that “I can do all things through Christ who strength ens me!” He desires to train His soldiers for battle, but how many want to enlist and follow His orders?

God loves you. This deserves repeating. … God loves you! Sometimes people feel that no one cares but this is not true. Jesus proved how much He loved you when He gave His life for you. How much more can He do than to die and come back from the dead so that you can enjoy a relationship with Him and have eternal life? This is not only good news, it’s the best news the world has ever known. I recently spoke to a small group of amazing people that are seeking God for direction. Sometimes life does not turn out as we had intended, and within the disappointments, many find themselves standing at a crossroad where they will ei ther choose to examine their conscience and allow God to help them make a new start, or they will continue trying to live according to their ownIt’sideas.truewe all have a free will to make decisions, but in every circumstance and situation, God’s way is the best way. Since He can see the future, He knows how everything is going to turnHeout.also knows what you are going through today, and we know that He has a wonderful plan for your life. How do we know this? God promises in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Discover Jesus 70
Jesus responded to the needs of the human heart. He taught the crowds as no one had ever taught before. He called his listeners to turn away from sin and seek God. He revealed that God loves us as a heavenly Father, and he demonstrated this merciful love in his attitude toward sinners and the marginalized. He forgave the sins of those who repented. With merely a word or gesture, he worked countless miracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, and even raising the dead! By his words and actions, he claimed to be God. Jesus did not walk around shouting, “I am God!” Such an approach would have led to immediate rejection from his Jewish listeners. Instead, Jesus gradually revealed his identity in his actions, and through riddles and parables, so that those who were able could slowly begin to have faith. He revealed his identity most clearly in his suffering on the cross and through his resurrection from the dead. In this series, we will discover what makes Jesus unique. We will explore the Gospels and try to look at Jesus through the eyes of his Jewish contemporaries. We will see why Jesus touched the hearts of so many people, why great crowds flocked to him. In so doing, we will begin to see why Jesus is still so important to us today.
Jesus of Nazareth Discover Jesus

Message 1 of 8
From a worldly perspective, Jesus was of no importance. He grew up in a small village, a lowly person in an unimportant corner of the Roman Empire. He had no earthly wealth, no military power. He was arrested and condemned to an agonizing and shameful death. In his moment of need, he was abandoned by his friends. In almost every way, Jesus had nothing that the world would associate with success or greatness. Yet, Jesus changed the course of human history. Two thousand years after his birth, a third of the world’s population follow Jesus as Christians. His followers laid the foundation for western civilization. It is thanks to Jesus and his followers that we have universities, hospitals, and many other institutions we take for granted, as well as principles like the dignity of the human person. We even divide history by the years before and after his birth. What makes Jesus of Nazareth so important? In popular culture, we often imagine Jesus as simply a loving teacher who went around telling everyone to be nice and to love each other But as one reads the Gospels, the four biographies of his life, one discovers a very mysterious and complex individual. At every turn, he speaks and acts in ways that are completely unexpected and fascinating.

From staff reports Beaufort Academy has brought back two familiar faces to lead the boys and girls basketball programs. Bobby Smith will return as the boys coach, replacing Nick Field, while Chip Din kins is back as the girls coach, replacing Andrew Ienuso. Bobby Smith coached the BA boys in 2019 and 2020, leading them to two playoff appearances.Smithhas more than 47 years of coaching experience, sending countless students to the collegiate level, while amassing more than 525 wins.“I have a strong passion for developing and mentor ing students,” Smith said in a post on the school’s web site. “I am excited to be back coaching at Beaufort Acad emy, not only to win games, but to give my players some of the necessary tools to suc ceed in Beaufortlife.”Academy Athlet ic Director, William Howell said, “I am very excited to bring Bobby and his wife Kar in back to the BA family. His resume speaks for itself. His leadership and experience makes him a tremendous as set for our student-athletes and boys basketball program. I know he is going to equip our boys with the tools to succeed both on and off the court.”Dinkins comes back to the sidelines as a head coach af ter a five-year year absence. He started his career at BA in 1998, as the junior varsi ty head coach. An alumnus of BA, Dinkins then spent 15 years as the varsity boys coach, accumulating more than 150 wins and sending 10 teams to the SCISA state playoffs, including a SCISA 2A state championship in 2006.Atwo-time Beaufort Ga zette Coach of the Year (2006, 2016), Dinkins will be in his first year as a var sity girls head coach, though he assisted Lillian Keeler in 2020-2021, helping lead the BA varsity girls to a SCISA 2A Final Four appearance. Dinkins has coached many of the players on the current girls roster at both the Mid dle School and JV level. “I am very happy to have Chip back at BA,” Howell said. “He is someone who knows what it takes to suc ceed and our girls will benefit from his knowledge and lead ership. His wife Bradi also graduated from BA and cur rently teaches here so this is a family who truly knows and appreciates all that BA has to offer. This is a perfect fit for our girls program.”

EXTRA EFFORT
As the first day of the school year approached, so approached the opening kickoff of the high school football season. And the area’s squads took to the fields recently and started working in preparation of the season’s first games later this month and early next month. For the area’s teams, the season may hold the potential for improvement, the promise of success, a return to the playoffs or even the chance for a championship. For the individual players, the upcoming season could represent the next step in their athletic career. Or it could be their last season before they move on to adulthood.

A War on Two Fronts: African Americans Fight for Victory at Home and Abroad Through Saturday, Aug. 13, Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage, 10782 S. Jacob Smart Blvd., Ridgeland. A traveling exhibit adapted from an original exhibition and book developed by the Athenaeum Press at the Horry County Museum. The exhibition and book explore how African Americans in the 92nd and 93rd Army infantry divisions fought for racial equality during wartime, and then went on to be active participants in the Civil Rights Movement. It traces the little-known stories of soldiers on the front lines, and how segregation affected their training, service and recognition. The exhibition draws from the work of Maggi Morehouse, Burroughs Distinguished Professor of Southern History and Culture at Coastal Carolina University and a daughter of a commanding officer in the 92nd infantry division. To learn more about “A War on Two Fronts” and other Athenaeum Press projects, visit www.ccu. press or www.warontwofronts.com.

Providing onsite mental health consultation for patients presenting with mental health needs to the emergency department 365 days per year from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., the PAC team delivers highly skilled mental health assessments and compas sionate care for veterans with urgent, emergent, and crisis conditions.”“ThePAC Team works with the veterans and their families to develop and im plement a plan of care which could be anything from ar ranging acute hospitalization to discharging to the veter an’s home with mental health follow-up. Their primary fo cus is always the safety of the veteran, and as such, the PAC Team ensures that veterans are screened and assessed for suicide risk, drug addiction, the need for criminal justice assistance, and risk of home lessness, and collaborates with the veteran and his or her family in developing safe ty Dandridgeplans.” told the PAC Team that they are unsung champions of excellent men tal health care and they are examples for other health professionals to follow.

And (2) Did the VA ever docu ment that this condition caused secondary disabil ities?Finally, Section IV of the DD Form 2860 will ask the veteran which conditions are secondary conditions to the veteran’s primary dis abilities. That final question will require the veteran to enter the disability code, description, % awarded by the VA, and the date of the VAAaward.veteran’s application for CRSC should include all the keywords (like Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Dis tinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with V, etc., and Direct Result of Conflict, Line of Duty, Service-Con nected, etc.) and ALL of the evidence the applicant can muster.

This appendix is one complete page in length (more than 1050 words) and too long to include in one newspa per article.

The related codes and explanations in Appendix A spell out for the applicant what evidence and documents are needed to get a CRSC application approved.Forexample, Appendix A spells out that activities, like physical training activ ities (such as calisthenics and jogging or formation running and supervised sports activities), are NOT included in the “Under Conditions Simulating War” category of eligibility for CRSC. The Veteran’s CRSC approval or disap proval greatly depends on the veteran following the instructions in Appendix A and providing all of the requested evidence, documents, proof of service, proof of service in an armed conflict, dates of diagnosis, dates of service, presump tive conditions, line of duty, military service-connected, and more. How can a veteran request the documents he or she needs to go with his or her CRSC application?
