While South Carolina’s private schools have begun football practice and still intend to play their first games later this month, the state’s public schools pushed back their start date again last week.
The S.C. High School League’s Executive Committee approved the league’s updated Return to Play proposal, which postpones the first

Beaufort’s McKenzie Daniel reached the Girls 18 Red singles final before falling to a familiar opponent at the Peanut Patch Junior Open in Florence over the weekend.
The larger age groups for the annual youth tennis event were practice dates for football and competitive cheer — the two fall sports deemed the highest-risk for spreading the novel coronavirus — until Sept. 8. The first football games could begin Sept. 25 — two weeks later than the previous proposal — and competitive cheer would hold its first competition Oct. 13.
Girls golf, swimming, and girls tennis are slated to begin practice Aug. 17 with their first contests allowed Aug. 31, while cross country and volsplit into two draws, selected at random and labeled as Red and White to limit the draw sizes.
Daniel was the No. 1 seed in the Girls 18 Red draw, and she backed it up by breezing into the final. After a first-round bye, Daniel won two straight matches in straight sets to earn leyball would begin practicing Aug. 24 and start competing Sept. 7.
Because of the condensed season, the plan also calls for a reduction in the number of teams qualifying for the postseason, cutting that number in half for football, volleyball, and tennis.
In addition to laying out guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and S.C. DHEC to prevent the spread of the virus, the document also urges the ima spot in the final alongside Hilton Head Island’s Emily Ruckno.
Ruckno made an impressive run through the bracket, as the unseeded Hilton Head High standout knocked off the top three seeds en route to the title. She outlasted No. 3 seed portance of student-athletes, coaches, and staff to follow recommended guidelines including social distancing and wearing face coverings, as well as limiting the sharing of equipment and sanitize it between uses when possible.
The 23-page document also offers a list of sport-specific “modifications and considerations” that might be necessary for a sport to take place, ranging from the suspension of pre-game and post-game handshakes to mandating Gigi Hinson in three sets, then notched a straight set victory over Kate Coppage to reach the semifinals. Ruckno survived another three-set marathon to take down McKenzie Davis of Florence in the semis, then beat top-seeded Daniel 6-2, 6-3 in the final. four balls be used for each tennis match, with two each marked “H” for home or “V” for visitor so players will not touch the same balls.
The proposal also leaves open the possibility of pushing the fall sports season to the spring.
“Winter and spring calendars may be modified to accommodate moving a fall sport into the athletic calendar in the event the sport is unable to hold their season in the fall due to COVID-19 con
Three of the four finishers in the division were representatives of the Lowcountry, as Bluffton’s Natalie Bassett lost to Daniel in the semifinals and placed fourth.
Another Hilton Head Islander claimed runner-up honors, as Sophia Tauscher reached ditions,” the proposal says.
Area private schools began fall sports practice Monday, with football teams limited to helmets only this week before progressing to helmets and shoulder pads next week and full pads Aug. 17. The S.C. Independent School Association is allowing cross country, swimming, tennis, golf, and volleyball to begin competition Aug. 17, with football games starting Aug. 28, following a separate set of

A work crew with Thomas Turner Construction Co. continues to work on the football field Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 5, at Beaufort High School’s Eagles Stadium. Bill Morris, assistant superintendent, said 6 inches of gravel will be put down as a base. Then a mixture of sand and rubber pellets will be put down just before the artificial sports turf. Morris said artificial turf usually runs 20 degrees warmer that the ambient temperature. The rubber pellets absorb the water and help cool it down. Morris said the turf is glued on. There is no stitching. The edges butt up together to form a seamless finish. The hash marks, yardage lines and school logo will be cut into the turf and glued in as well. Morris said they should be finished with the turf in late August. Photo by Bob Sofaly.

Passage of time the ultimate cure for anxiety
It is Saturday and we are, once again, watching a hurricane dance up the Atlantic coastline. This is a tango we’ve done before; but Isaias doesn’t create quite the same anxiety as storms in the past.
Isaias does make one wonder about an evacuation complicated by masks, antiseptic wipes and keeping one’s distance in a crowded gymnasium.
When I was younger I didn’t worry about much — I lived day to day assuming that most of my problems were temporary and would be successfully resolved.
I remember sitting in West African airports waiting for planes that had not arrived, and sometimes never arrived, and not being too concerned. Eventually, I surmised as I sat on my backpack reading a paperback copy of “Heart of Darkness,” a plane would come and deliver me from Abidjan or Dakar or Brazzaville.
If Air Afrique was indifferent to schedules, who was I to insist on a predictable,
SCOTT GRABER
published timetable?
But that would changed with the acquisition of a house, a mortgage and a child. Banks, utility companies and creditors insisted on a schedule and were not indifferent if one was late with a payment.
As I began to take on more years, more seniority, I also became more attuned to misfortune, tragedy and the seemingly random visitation of melanoma and congestive heart failure.
And so, grudgingly, I started to worry — sometimes waking at 4:30 in the morning absolutely sure I failed to file a document that needed to stamped by the Clerk of Court.
Knowing that sleep was impossible, I would get into my entirely unreliable Volvo 240 and drive though the darkened streets of our small town to my Carteret Street office. Then I would run in the door, up the steps and discover — in most cases — that I had filed the worrisome document, met the arbitrary deadline.
All of which brings me to Claire Weeks.
In her practice, Dr. Weeks regularly dealt with anxiety — fear at 4 in the morning — and developed a simple protocol. At the moment I’m reading a book about the Australian physician and how she “cracked the anxiety code”.
In her book, “Self Help For Your Nerves”, she explained that with anxiety there are actually two “fears,” the first of which is the survival response — the dumb alarm of fight or flight.
But Weeks said this first fear was followed by a second fear, which she identified as a feeling that could be described as “What if (add in catastrophic thought)?”
“Oh my goodness here it is! I can’t stand it. I might make a fool of myself in front of all these people! Let me out of here!”
“The first fear,” she said, “was normal in its intensity; we understand it and accept it because when the danger passes the fear will also pass.” But it’s the 2nd fear — or “fear of fear” — that then triggers a cycle of panic making the heart race and the stomach churn.
When Weeks published her book in 1962 the psychiatric community did not like it’s simplicity. She had the temerity to say that
One of the recent issues is requiring Convenience Center stickers for county residents. Many communities around the country have this program and it helps lessen the burden on our landfills because then the out of state visitors are not filling up our bins with their trash.
I understand the concept of using the stickers, but there is another side to it. I have lived in a county up north where we had our own stickers, and there were back roads lined with old refrigerators, mattresses, and other items.
If someone did not have anxiety “could be cured” by facing the fear, accepting it, and then letting oneself float past the fearful images. Most psychiatrists deplored any sort of self help; any airport bookstore bought-therapy; especially any therapy that bypassed hours of analysis on a leather couch.
But her book sold like hotcakes. And Claire Weeks became a bestselling author in Australia, in the UK and, of course, in the United States. And since the publication of the book in 1962, neurobiologists have given scientific heft to of her simple maxims of facing the fear, accepting a sticker, they would just drive somewhere and dump it. Every few months, the county trucks would have to drive around and pick up the trash. What difference then did the stickers make? The junk was still going into the same landfill.
With so many renters coming to our area with out of state license plates, and no stickers, I worry that they will find back roads to dump their trash. With our rivers, creeks, and tides, I worry about that trash making it to the water. You guessed it, I started to write.
But then there are times it and then floating past it.
I must admit that I’ve tried her “cure” and it has helped me. In the past I tried to talk myself through the anxiety saying, “This thing that I’m fearing is not going to happen, its not real …”
But fear itself is not rational; it doesn’t respond to a persuasive, rational lectures — its going to stick around regardless of your “self talk.” But the “floating past the fear” is the imagery that has helped me.
I’m a swimmer and take to the waters, both chlorinated and brackish, several times a week. So the notion of moving water is one that works for me.
But it’s the passage of time, of course, that’s the ultimate cure. We know that what has us terrified at four in the morning, will (with a couple of cups of coffee) be gone by eight.
