COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

All you need is love Presidential hopeful Williamson brings her message to Beaufort ‘town hall’ appearance

By Mindy Lucas About 130 people gathered at United Church of Jesus Christ in Beaufort on Saturday, July 27, to hear bestselling author, spiritual advisor and democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson deliver her trademark message of love.

Speaking at a quick pace to a spirited crowd of residents, church members and area religious Marianne leaders, Wil- Williamson liamson managed to jam a wide range of topics – from children’s health and well-being to the economy and race relations – into the nearly 25-minute-long talk.

For many like Marcia Whitman of Beaufort, it was an opportunity to purchase Williamson’s latest book, “A Politics of Love: A Handbook for a New American Revolution,” and see the author speak again in person.

“She’s just awesome,” said Whitman who had heard the candidate speak once before.

“She’s positive and she comes from a loving place.”

Whitman, who is “in her 60s,” said she was still undecided as to who she would vote for come November of 2020 – she also likes Elizabeth Warren. Whatever the case, though, Whitman said she was tired of politics and looking for a change.

“The main thing for me is somebody who can beat Trump,” she said.

Though at times the 67-yearold Williamson has raised eyebrows or been mocked for her seemingly soft touch approach to politics, and despite polling among the bottom of the pack in an already crowded field of candidates vying for the Democratic party’s nomination, she has stuck with her message.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD Marina manager’s retirement signals end of an era for Beaufort

R

By Mindy Lucas ick Griffin’s father had been running the downtown marina for nearly a decade, when Griffin returned home to Beaufort in 1974.

A new graduate with a degree in administration management from Clemson, Griffin intended to work for his father who also owned and operated the adjoining service station, though his father wasn’t so sure his firstborn son was up to the task.

“I wasn’t that good of a student,” Griffin said recently from his corner office in the small, red-brick building in the marina parking lot.

Now, nearly 45 years later, and after a career that has seen everything from freak storms, to celebrity sailors and million dollar yachts, Griffin is hanging up his hat

as marina manager.

When the Beaufort native retires this week, it will be the end of an era – not only for Beaufort but for the Griffin family as well.

Dallas-based marina operations company Safe Harbor will take over the marina’s operations as approved by the city in May, and for the first time since 1946, there won’t be a Griffin on the property.

But the 67-year-old Griffin said he’s made his peace with that. He’s ready to retire and move on to other things.

“I guess you just know when it’s time,” he said.

Built from Scratch Outside of storm damage, little has changed about the marina since it was built in the mid ‘60s, Griffin said.

He was 12 when work to fill in the parking lot began, he remembers.

His father, John Griffin Sr. – Rick is actually John Myrick Griffin Jr. – came to Beaufort in 1946 to take over the lease of the Sinclair Service Station, a white block building that once stood atop Freedom Mall, on Bay Street.

His father eventually bought the marina business but went on to sell it back to the city in 1975, which was in the midst of creating the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The Griffins, or Griffin Enterprises, Inc., has leased it since.

“We really built the place up from scratch,” Griffin said.

After the Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center moved out in the ‘90s, the marina store and offices, once in the building where the laundry and showers are now, moved into the brick building next door, causing

little disruption.

The storm, however, was another thing.

Blowing up suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere, the ’93 Superstorm, or Storm of the Century, as it was also called, hit Beaufort along with most of the Eastern Seaboard on March 14, 1993.

With hurricane-force winds, the storm dumped snow as far south as Alabama, caused heavy flooding and storm surge around the southeast and left millions without power. More than 270 people died as a result of the storm.

Out on Fripp Island where Griffin lived at the time, he decided to try calling the marina.

“It was snowing sideways,” he said. “In March.”

After the phone rang for what seemed like too long to be a good sign, an over-

whelmed employee finally answered.

“I’m on my way,” Griffin said and hung up.

He would spend the rest of the afternoon in his own 23-foot, fully covered Mako, towing and helping to move sailboats away from the splintering docks.

The marina docks were totally destroyed but would eventually be rebuilt – this time with a “T-head” added to its end.

A View to the World From his modest, back-corner office tucked in at the back of the marina store, Griffin has had a front row seat to possibly one of the most interesting spots for people and boat-watching in Beaufort.

Beaufort Bread Company closes its doors

BBC on Bay owners Eric and Robin Staton.

FAMILY TRADITION

By Mike McCombs Beaufort Bread Company is ceasing operations immediately.

A Monday morning post, presumably by owners Eric and Robin Staton, on the restaurant and bakery’s Facebook page confirmed the closure.

“We have made the difficulty (sp) decision to close down the Beaufort Bread Company and BBC on Bay as of Tuesday July 30, 2019,” the post reads. “At this time in our life we have other responsibilities that have become a different

priority for us. Which makes it complicated for us to operate these business (sp).

We have enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people in this great Beaufort community and have enjoyed the support we have received by this great community – for this we say thank you.”

As of press time, the owners had not responded to an email request for comment, and The Island News was unable to reach them by phone.

It had been business as usual as recently as Saturday.

FIRST FRIDAY

Both locations were open and the daily special was posted on the Facebook page.

“Saturday’s Are Made for BBC Brunch!” the post read above the menu listing for eggs and tacos with fire-roasted salsa.

But on Sunday, the owners notified employees via a group text message that they would be closing both locations, Lady’s Island and 705 Bay Street in downtown Beaufort, as of Monday, giving the employees instructions on how to collect their paychecks.

Beaufort Bread Company’s Lady’s Island location was launched by Rick Stone in 2013 and had become known for its fresh-baked bread, sandwiches and desserts before the business was sold to the Statons in August 2016.

A second location in downtown Beaufort, in the works since December 2016, was opened in November 2018.

“Our main goal was to bring something to Bay Street that Bay Street doesn’t have,” Robin Staton said at the time.

“We’ve done that.”

Murdaugh allowed to travel outside area, judge finds

By Mindy Lucas Paul Murdaugh, who is facing felony charges in connection to the fatal boat crash that killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach in February, will be allowed to travel outside the area, a judge has ruled.

Judge Michael Nettles ruled on Monday, July 29 that Murdaugh could travel outside of Beaufort,

Hampton, Allendale, Colleton and Jasper counties so that he could attend the University of South Carolina where he is enrolled, Robert Kittle, spokesman for the S.C. Attorney General’s Office confirmed.

Murdaugh and Beach were among six people thrown from the boat when it crashed into a piling

on Archers Creek near Parris Island on Feb. 24. Beach’s body was found one week later on March 3.

Murdaugh, 20, was originally ordered not to leave the area while awaiting trial, but his attorneys filed a motion last week to allow him to travel anywhere in the state.

Murdaugh has been charged with one count of boating under

the influence causing death and two counts of boating under the influence causing great bodily injury in connection to the boat crash. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in May. The trial, which does not have a court date yet, is waiting for a circuit judge to be appointed, Kittle said.

Publix, Beaufort Memorial Hospital collaborate on telehealth, prescriptions

Publix Pharmacy and Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) have announced a collaboration to expand health care services for residents of Beaufort County.

The agreement includes in-hospital delivery of patient prescriptions from a nearby Publix, as well as in-store telehealth centers at two Publix locations.

“Patients are looking for more convenient access to health care, whether it’s treatment for non-emergency medical conditions or easier transitions from hospital to home,” Publix Vice President of Pharmacy Dain Rusk said in a release. “This collaboration with Beaufort Memorial Hospital will provide residents of the Beaufort community with a medical care option where they shop and eliminate an extra errand for patients leaving the hospital.”

“We’re excited about this collaboration to expand access

to care in the Lowcountry and to provide a direct prescription service to patients leaving the hospital,” Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley said in a release. “Our mission is to improve the health of our community and offering walk-in care through Publix Pharmacy provides a unique way to do just that. It’s another option for patients who need care when and where it is most convenient for them.”

As part of the collaboration, patients discharged from BMH can choose to have medications that are prescribed during their stay delivered to their room prior to leaving the hospital. The Publix Pharmacy at store 1463 in Beaufort will fill the prescriptions and a Publix associate will deliver them to the hospital room. Any payments can be made upon delivery.

In addition, Publix will install telehealth centers to provide non-emergency medical

care at store 1463 in Beaufort and store 1205 in Bluffton.

Powered by the BMH Care Anywhere online virtual care service, each telehealth center will have a private room with teleconferencing and medical diagnostic equipment, including stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, high-definition cameras and other tools necessary for common diagnoses.

The telehealth sites will allow patients to speak directly with a board-certified provider via video conferencing technology. The provider can direct the patient to use the available diagnostic tools in order to make a diagnosis and write any necessary prescriptions.

Publix Pharmacy support staff will be available to assist patients, if needed. Visits will be $59 and will not require an appointment. The telehealth centers will open later this year.

BMH patients can arrange to have medications delivered to their room from Publix prior to leaving the hospital.

Do your homework to decide if laser cataract surgery is for you

L

aser cataract surgery — also called Refractive Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (ReLACS) — is an advanced type of cataract surgery that uses femtosecond laser technology to bring a new level of precision and accuracy to specific steps in cataract surgery that traditionally have been performed with hand-held surgical tools.

These steps include: the corneal incision, the anterior capsulotomy and the lens and cataract fragmentation.

The added precision, accuracy and reproducibility of each of these steps, when performed with a laser, potentially can reduce certain risks and improve visual outcomes of cataract surgery.

The corneal incision The first step in cataract surgery is making an incision in the cornea.

In conventional cataract surgery, the surgeon uses a hand-held instrument with a metal or diamond blade to create an incision in the peripheral clear cornea. This incision allows the surgeon to gain access to the interior of the eye to break up and remove the cataract, which is a clouding of the eye's natural lens that is located right behind the pupil.

Next, an intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted and implanted, to replace the cloudy natural lens. The corneal incision is made in a special way so it will self-seal when surgery is complete, without any need for stitches.

DR. MARK SIEGEL

In laser cataract surgery, the surgeon creates a precise surgical plan for the corneal incision with a sophisticated 3-D image of the eye called an OCT (optical coherence tomography).

The goal is to create an incision with a specific location, depth and length in all planes, and with the OCT image and a femtosecond laser, it can be performed precisely and reproducibly .

This is important not only for accuracy but also for increasing the likelihood that the incision will be self-sealing at the end of the procedure, which reduces the risk of infection.

The capsulotomy The eye's natural lens is surrounded by a very thin, clear capsule. In cataract surgery, the front portion of the capsule is removed in a step called an anterior capsulotomy. This enable the surgeon to gain direct access to the cloudy lens (cataract).

It's very important that the remainder of the lens capsule that remains intact in the eye is not damaged during cataract surgery, because it must hold the artificial lens implant in place for the rest of the patient's life.

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT

for August 1-7 provided by

In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon creates an opening in the capsule with a small needle and then uses that same needle or a forceps to tear the capsule in a circular fashion.

In laser cataract surgery, the anterior capsulotomy is performed with a femtosecond laser like the type used in LASIK vision correction surgery. Studies have shown that capsulotomies performed with a laser have greater accuracy and reproducibility.

Studies also have shown that laser capsulotomies enable better centering of the intraocular lens, and IOL positioning is a significant factor in determining final visual outcomes.

Lens and cataract fragmentation After the capsulotomy, the surgeon now has access to the cataract to remove it.

In traditional cataract surgery, the ultrasonic device that breaks up the cataract is inserted into the incision.

During this phacoemulsification procedure, the ultrasound energy can lead to heat buildup in the incision, which sometimes can burn the incision and negatively affect the visual outcome by actually inducing astigmatism.

The laser, on the other hand, softens the cataract as it breaks it up. By breaking up the cataract into smaller, softer pieces, less ultrasonic heat energy is needed to remove the cataract, so there

should be less chance of burning and distorting the incision. Studies show nearly 50 percent less ultrasonic energy is required when the laser is used.

Laser cataract surgery may also reduce the risk of capsule breakage that can cause vision problems after surgery.

The lens capsule is as thin as cellophane wrap and it's important that the portion that is left inside the eye after cataract surgery is undamaged, so it can hold the IOL in the proper position for clear, undistorted vision.

The reduced phacoemulsification energy required in laser cataract surgery may also make the procedure safer to the inner eye, which reduces the chance of certain complications, such as a detached retina or persistent corneal swelling.

Astigmatism correction at the time of cataract surgery To reduce the need for prescription eyeglasses or reading glasses after cataract surgery, it is important that little or no astigmatism is present after implantation of any type of IOL, especially presbyopia-correcting multifocal IOLs and multifocal-toric IOLs. Astigmatism usually is caused by the cornea being more curved in one meridian than others. (In other words, it's shaped somewhat like an American football rather than a baseball). Astigmatism affects distance, inter-

mediate and near vision.

To reduce astigmatism, small incisions can be placed in the periphery of the more curved meridian; as the incisions heal, this meridian flattens slightly to give the cornea a rounder, more symmetrical shape.

This procedure is called limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) or astigmatic keratotomy (AK).

During refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery, the OCT image can be used to plan laser LRI or AK incisions in a very precise location, length and depth. This increases the accuracy of the astigmatism-reducing procedure and the probability of good vision without glasses after cataract surgery.

Cataract surgeons who use lasers say that their advantages are especially evident when it comes to high-tech, premium implants such as presbyopia-correcting multifocal IOLs and Toric IOL’s for astigmatism. Advantages include better lens placement and therefore more accurate visual outcomes.

However, the benefits still hold true for single vision monofocal IOL’s as well.

Cost of laser cataract surgery Laser cataract surgery costs more than conventional cataract surgery, and the extra costs associated with laser cataract surgery are not covered by Medicare or health insurance.

Fees for laser cataract surgery can vary. Be sure to

ask about details of the cost of laser-assisted cataract surgery during your pre-surgical exam and cataract surgery consultation with your surgeon.

Weighing the benefits It's important to put laser cataract surgery technology into proper perspective.

Traditional cataract surgery is very effective and successful. Most people who do not want to pay the extra cost of laser cataract surgery can feel very confident that conventional cataract surgery is likely to produce very good results, especially since I have been performing traditional microincisional cataract surgery for nearly 20 years.

But if you want the best possible technology, laser cataract surgery is appealing.

A more accurate corneal incision, capsulotomy and astigmatic correction may help you achieve your goal of less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery. Having used the femtosecond laser in cataract surgery for the last four years, the laser has certainly exceeded my expectations.

To decide if laser cataract surgery is the best choice for you, ask your cataract surgeon for more information about this exciting technology during your preoperative exam and consultation..

More than just a doctor

Dr. Earnest Collins left a legacy to both the hospital and the community

When Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) unveiled its newly renovated Collins Birthing Center last month, it gave the community another opportunity to recognize the contributions of the late Dr. Earnest Collins, the area’s first OB-GYN. But the birthing center’s namesake did far more than deliver babies in Beaufort.

He created a family legacy of service now in its third generation.

“My father was among a small group of physicians who started from the ground up,” BMH Medical Director of Laboratories Dr. Brad Collins, who joined the hospital in 1996, three years after his father retired, said. “We’re trying to build on that and improve the hospital every day.”

The family has a long history of supporting Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s annual Valentine Ball, a black tie fundraiser that has generated more than $5 million to improve services at the nonprofit hospital.

Dr. Earnest Collins and his wife Sue attended the inaugu-

However Beaufort’s marina is unique, he says, since it’s one of the few stops where visitors can hop out of their boat and be in the middle of a thriving downtown complete with historic sights, places to eat and things to do.

In the fall, traffic heads south along the waterway toward Florida as boaters head for warmer locales. In the spring, it reverses as boaters head back northeast.

from page A1 criticism, she has drawn fire from mental health professionals and others for remarks made about the widespread use of antidepressants, which she said were over-prescribed, and most recently, for calling vaccination mandates “draconian” and “Orwellian.”

On the use of antidepressants, she later told the New York Times she regretted us-

ral Valentine Ball in 1990 and went on to serve as volunteer hosts of the private, pre-ball dinner parties that have made the event such a success.

Brad Collins and his wife Cindy carried on the tradition, hosting their first dinner party not long after moving back to Beaufort in 1996. In 2002, they served as co-chairs of the fundraiser, a mammoth endeavor requiring the help of hundreds of community volunteers.

Following her parents’ lead, Allison Coppage and her husband Ben volunteered for their first pre-ball dinner party in 2013. This year, they stepped up to serve as co-chairs of the event while Brad and Cindy Collins hosted their 19th preball dinner party.

“The Valentine Ball has always and forever been a tradition in my family,” Coppage said. “We take great pride in the hospital and want to support it any way we can. It’s really an anchor of our community.”

Like her father and grandfather before her, Coppage also works for the hospital.

A former in-house counsel for Beaufort County, she has served as Beaufort Memorial’s associate vice president of compliance and privacy for two years.

“When the opportunity presented itself to work for Beaufort Memorial, I jumped at the chance,” she said. “I saw how the hospital is growing to meet the needs of the community and I wanted to be a part of it.”

Her father, who had left the Lowcountry after his residency to work for Greenville Health System, felt the same draw. His contributions to the hospital have gone far beyond his role as a board-certified pathologist.

During his 23 years at BMH, Brad Collins has served as chief of medical staff, chaired several hospital committees, and started the multidisciplinary Tumor Conference and Blood Management Program. He also served on the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees for 10 years.

blood and services from the American Red Cross, Collins took it upon himself to find a community-based blood supplier capable of meeting Beaufort Memorial’s needs.

Today, BMH has a more reliable and less expensive supply of high-quality blood products thanks to One Blood

and Beaufort donors.

Despite his own significant contributions, Collins can’t help but admire his father’s unwavering dedication to the hospital and the community it serves.

“When our family thinks back on the personal sacrifice my dad made when he came in 1971, we can’t imagine how he did it,” Brad Collins said. “For four years he was on call 24/7.”

At that time, the father of three was the only OB-GYN between Charleston and Savannah.

“We had gone through a very demanding 10½ years of medical school and residency, so we were used to the long hours,” his widow, Sue said.

“We were just so happy to be in Beaufort.”

It wasn’t until 1975 that he was able to recruit two partners, easing his workload.

With the practice well established, he became more involved with the hospital. As chairman of Beaufort Memorial’s credentialing committee, he spearheaded the drive to add board-certification requirements to the hospital

bylaws.

He helped organize and charter the Beaufort County Medical Society and served as its president for several years.

He also was a consultant to the county health department, Beaufort-Jasper Comprehensive Health Services and Beaufort Naval Hospital.

In 1994, Beaufort Memorial named its birthing center in his honor. As part of the recent $6 million renovation project, the all-new waiting area now features a tribute wall dedicated to his legacy.

“We don’t need a pat on the back,” Sue Collins said. “It’s why we came here – to make a better community.”

A mong the thousands of babies who have been delivered in the Beaufort Memorial birthing center are two of Earnest Collins’ great-grandchildren.

“It was humbling to pass my grandfather’s picture as I went into the labor room,” said Coppage, who gave birth to her son Harris in 2014 and daughter Bette in 2016. “I feel so privileged to have had my kids in a place dedicated to him.”

“We’ve seen everything from derelicts bumming their way up the waterway to multi-million dollar yachts in here,” Griffin said.

In fact, the marina has harbored visitors from all over the world from boat captains or crews moving someone else’s boat to owners moving their own boat, to people who have sold their homes and are living off their boat.

Griffin has even met Jimmy Buffett, who used to frequent the area on his fishing boat, as well as legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite.

“He had a nice sailboat,” Griffin remembers.

While the marina currently has 55 tenants, or boats staying on a long-term basis, on a busy day in the fall or spring, that number can swell to 100 from additional waterway

traffic just passing through.

“Many people don’t realize just how much money comes in off that dock and is left here in Beaufort,” he said.

A Good Life Now that retirement is imminent, Griffin and his wife, Mandy, plan to spend more time at their second home in Clemson. To say orange runs through his veins would be an understatement.

He’s served on several boards for the university, is president and chairman of Clemson’s IPTAY executive committee, and currently serves on the university’s foundation board.

He’s also served or belonged to a half-dozen local organizations such as Main Street Beaufort, USA and the Greater Beaufort Chamber of Commerce. In addition,

he belongs to another half dozen state or international organizations such as the S.C. Marine Association and the International Marina Institute.

Not bad for someone once considered an average student.

His wife, Mandy Griffin, who manages the marina store, will also retire this week.

A University of South Carolina graduate with a degree in business – something Griffin likes to point out since she went to “that other school” – has been setting the pace in the front of the store for 22 years. The store, he said, brings in a third of the marina’s revenue and sells tickets for area attractions.

Leaving the business behind will be hard, she said, but she’s looking forward to

having more time for football season at Clemson this fall.

“I thought I’d be consoling him,” she said. “As it turns out, I’m the big baby.”

In addition to all the employees, she’ll miss being on the “front lines” at the marina.

“I feel like we’re a virtual visitors center here,” she said.

For Griffin, he believes he’s had more anxiety over retiring than turning over the keys to a new owner, mainly because he thinks the new owner will do a good job.

“I think the marina is in good hands,” he said.

The largest owner and operator of marinas in the world, according to its website, Safe Harbor has three marinas in Charleston and plans to buy Port Royal Landing at Skull Creek are “in the works” said Jeff Rose, Safe Harbor’s

Vice President of Business Development, when reached by phone recently.

Outside of future improvements and repairs, the company has no plans to make immediate changes to the marina before getting to know the community and the marina, Rose said. It also plans to keep all current employees on hand.

Still, it will be a big change for Griffin who’s been planning and saving for this day since “the first IRA,” he said.

He still has his health and has things he’d like to do, he added.

“I’ve enjoyed the ride. I have,” he said. “Overall, it’s been a good life. I tell people I’m not getting rich, but I’m not look for another job either.

I’m just moving on to something else.”

ing Twitter to discuss the topic, and in June, apologized for comments made about vaccinations saying that she misspoke and understood that “many vaccines are important and save lives.”

Still, many voters have embraced her style.

At the Beaufort event, her opening remarks of love in the face of hatred were met with loud applause and shouts of “Amen.”

“There’s only one thing that casts out darkness and that’s light,” she told the audience.

“There’s only one thing that casts out fear and that’s love.”

On the idea that communities have to ask for grants or additional funding for public school education or the needs of the impoverished, Williamson said, “This is America.

We all get to feast here.”

She went on to criticize “subsidies to fossil fuel companies” and the Trump tax cuts.

“While we are passing a $2 trillion tax cut where 83 cents of every dollar is going for the very, very richest of individ-

uals and corporations, while we are living at a time when so much money, so much wealth is transferred, I don’t know, where I grew up, we call that theft,” she said.

Williamson also answered questions about the environment, climate change, healthcare and the border crisis which she called government-sanctioned child abuse and a drama created by the president to dissuade people from applying for political asylum or sew seeds of division.

“Do we need better process-

es at the border? Of course we do,” she said. “We need more judges, we need more technology, we need more agents, we need more of everything that we know that we need, but what is happening there is literally a trumped up drama.”

After the event, Tanya Colucci, 41, of Bluffton, said she was impressed with what she heard. Williamson’s views on educational opportunities and the need for additional education on civics and U.S. history in schools, particularly resonated with her.

“I definitely feel her energy and passion,” she said. “I was very impressed with her getting down to the truth, and how she let people know what the problems and causes behind the issues are.”

Glenda Roberts, who attended the town hall with Colucci, said for her, children’s health and the environment were key to selecting a candidate.

“She’s going to try with love,” she said about Williamson’s message in particular.

“It’s the total opposite of how it is now.”

Earnest and Sue Collins (circa 1980). The couple moved here in 1971 and for several years Dr. Collins was the only OB/ GYN in the county. "For four years he was on call 24/7," said son Brad.

Wrestling With God God’s Family Expands

God’s family grows through Abraham’s mischievous grandson.

Jacob was the son of Isaac, the baby miraculously conceived by Abraham and Sarah in their old age. Jacob was a clever schemer in his youth, even tricking his father so that he received the inheritance instead of his older brother, Esau. After this, he left his father and mother and went off to make his own fortune, growing in his relationship with God along the way.

Jacob is greatly blessed by God. In an age when children were recognized as the greatest gift a family could receive, Jacob was blessed with a daughter and twelve sons. In chapters 28 and 35 of Genesis, God solemnly renews the promises he made to Jacob’s grandfather, Abraham. Jacob and his descendants would receive the promised land of Canaan, becoming a nation and eventually a kingdom. Through Jacob’s descendants, all the nations would be blessed.

God changes Jacob’s name to Israel.

In Genesis 32, Jacob finds himself in a physical struggle against a strange man. He holds his own in the ensuing wrestling match, and afterwards the stranger reveals himself to be an angel sent by God. Speaking through the angel, God changes Jacob’s name to Israel, which means, “He who struggles with God.” Throughout the rest of Scripture, both names are often used interchangeably; but it is due to this new name that his descendants are known as the Israelites.

God allows his goodness to shine through Joseph in Egypt.

When Joseph arrives in Egypt, he is sold to one of the court officials.

He shows himself very capable, and by God’s providence, Joseph is eventually made the second-in-command under the Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt. Under Joseph’s leadership, the Egyptians are the only people prepared when a great famine strikes the Middle East.

God reunites the twelve sons of Israel in Egypt.

In a beautiful scene of forgiveness, Joseph forgives his brothers and reunites with them. He invites them to come with their families and settle in Egypt, where there is plenty of food. There they and their descendants will stay for the next four hundred years.

Over those centuries, the families of these twelve sons of Israel will grow numerous and become the twelve tribes of Israel, setting the stage for the next chapter in the story of God’s divine rescue mission.

There is discord among Israel’s twelve sons.

Israel was especially fond of his second youngest son, Joseph, born to him in his old age. Seeing their father’s preference for Joseph, the other brothers are filled with jealousy. One day when they are far away from home pasturing the flocks, they decide to kill their younger brother. At the last moment, they see an opportunity to sell him into slavery instead, and their brother is taken by traders to be sold in Egypt. (Genesis 37)

Layman to replace Carr as Creek softball coach

When the Battery Creek softball team defends its Class 3A state championship next season, it will do so with a new coach at the helm.

Former Dolphins coach Chris Carr was announced Monday as the new coach at Calvary Day School in Savan-

nah, and Battery Creek has already named Carr’s successor, hiring accomplished coach Bob Layman to head the program.

Carr spent two seasons at Battery Creek and took the Dolphins to the Class 3A Lower State championship

game in 2018 before capturing the state title in 2019. He was named the state Coach of the Year this season and has a career record of 186-109-1 over 12 seasons as a head coach.

“I got a really great teaching offer (from Calvary) and I couldn’t let it pass me by,”

Carr said. “It was such a hard decision, as I really wanted to keep coaching at Creek. I love that school and team.”

Layman has been a staple on the local travel softball scene for years and enjoyed a successful run as the head coach at Thomas Heyward Acade-

my from 2010-18, leading the Rebels to the SCISA state championship series six times in nine seasons, including a state championship in 2011.

He stepped down following the 2018 season but continued to coach the S.C. Badkatz travel team, which included several

Beaufort County Junior Boys advance

Photos by Justin Jarrett.

The Beaufort County AllStars came short in their state title bid at the Dixie Junior Boys (13U) State Tournament, losing twice to Sumter in the championship round Thursday at Bluffton’s Oscar Frazier Park.

Sumter used a strong pitcher performance from Clark Kinney — who also added a three-run homer — to win the first game 9-5, forcing a winner-take-all rematch. Beaufort County left nine men on base and

made three errors as Sumter claimed the second game 11-1 in six innings.

Braydon Dineen was 2-for3 with an RBI and Kyler McKeever had an RBI double and scored a run in the opener. McKeever was tagged with the loss on the mound.

McKeever had three of Beaufort County’s six hits in the finale, while Logan Brutcher, Owen Harwell, and Carter Zareva each added a hit. Brutcher took the loss on the mound.

Beaufort County advanced to the championship game with two wins Wednesday, rallying for an 8-6 victory over St. George in a game that was suspended by thunderstorms Tuesday night before rolling to a 12-2 win over North Augusta later in the day.

The local team trailed 4-1 when storms rolled in during the fourth inning Tuesday but scored three runs in the fourth and three in the fifth when play resumed Wednesday morning to remain un-

defeated. Kevin Brown was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Brutcher and Hudson Mullen each had two hits, two runs, and an RBI to lead Beaufort County at the plate. Brutcher earned the win, allowing one runs and three hits over three solid innings in relief.

Beaufort County again rallied from an early deficit in the nightcap, trailing 2-0 before outscoring North Augusta 12-0 over the next three innings, including a nine-run fourth to break it open.

Mullen was 2-for-4 with two doubles and four RBIs, Jadyn Andrews added two hits, and Brutcher and Dineen each drove in two runs. Zareva was the winning pitcher, allowing one run and four hits over 3 2/3 innings with three strikeouts.

Both Beaufort County and Sumter advance to the Dixie Junior Boys World Series from Aug. 3-7 in Aiken and will square off again in the opening round of the double-elimination tournament.

VOICES

The sporting world is no longer just a man’s world

I

t’s Sunday morning and I’m watching a rising sun send shafts of low-angled sunlight into my backyard.

I’ve also got my Wall Street Journal — Weekend Edition — and a cup of Espresso Roast (“rich and caramelly” courtesy of Starbucks).

Today’s Journal is focused on Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. Most of that news is disquieting, distinctly unhappy.

But we find relief with a story on Cori “Coco’ Gauff — the 15-year-old who upset Venus Williams. There is also the phenomenal news from Paris where the U.S. women’s soccer team has dominated the World Cup. I am old enough to remember when men’s baseball, boxing and football dominated the sports pages.

In the 50s and 60s there were a few women athletes like Evonne Goolagong, Dawn Fraser and Margaret Court.

SCOTT GRABER

And of course, I had read about Babe Zaharias and Althea Gibson.

But when I was a kid, the sports pages belonged to men.

When I was 15, I found myself struggling — more of a downward death spiral — with algebra. I also had a runaway case of acne; and was not large or fast enough to play football.

I was, to be more specific, lacking in self esteem.

Complementing the self-esteem deficit was a remarkable capacity for self pity. I was heading for serious trouble when I stumbled upon an AAU-sponsored

swim team at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas.

The team was made up of Army “dependents” and, unlike most other sports in those days, our coach encouraged women to join and compete.

Although we did not wear goggles, we did wear an early prototype of the now ubiquitous “Speedo” that consisted of one (thin) layer of clinging nylon. It took me less than 10 minutes to discover that these swim suits gave one a pretty good idea of the underlying anatomy and, at first, I thought these ‘tank suits’ had to be illegal.

Our swim meets were held all over Texas but usually at other military posts — most of the pools were never designed for competition.

In fact, once off the homemade, wobbling starting blocks, one realized that the 100-yard swim was actually 125 yards; or sometimes 90 yards.

But in those days, regulation size and records didn’t make much difference to us.

We were happy to ride four hours to Ft Hood; to sleep in an aging barrack building; to eat watery eggs in the mess hall.

Early on, I began to make observations.

Even at 15 the boys were taller, had bigger feet and bigger hands than the girls.

That meant that the male “levers of propulsion” were larger and more powerful than those of female swimmers.

But I also observed that the girls — and I use this noun purposely — had better technique. They were more flexible in the knees and hips and pulled themselves through the water with more efficiency. They also had more endurance.

When we went to meets, the boys did well in the 50-, 100- and 200-yard distances; the girls were good at 800

and 1,500 yards. The girls were never faster than the fastest boys (at the longer distances), but they would often beat the slower male swimmers — including me.

But none of theses comparisons mattered much — we were teenagers for God’s sake — but it was exciting to see the athleticism and toughness from a gender that (in those days) wasn’t supposed to be athletic, or tough, or competitive.

It was also exciting to watch a slight, thinly muscled girl cut through the water with a smooth stroke and a metronome-steady kick keeping her body streamlined and her toes extended.

And, of course, it was sexy.

In the 1970s I was not surprised when Chris Evert’s double-handed finesse caught the attention of the public. Then came Billy Jean and Martina and suddenly women’s tennis found itself at center court and at pop-

ular parity with the men’s game.

Nor is it surprising to me that women’s soccer filled a stadium in Paris and pulled in 19 million viewers in the United States. Nor am I surprised when I read that this team wants equal pay.

Several weeks ago, my wife walked in while I was watching a women’s beach volleyball match on television.

“Wow! They’re wearing bikinis! Is that allowed?” she asked. “No wonder you love beach volleyball.”

“You’re wrong,” I replied.

“I love the flexibility, the coordination. Surely you remember that I’ve been watching women’s volleyball since Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings won the gold in Beijing?”

“Yeah,” she replied. “I remember.”

These aren’t your mom and dad’s school lockers

M

y husband and I recently went to one of those craft stores so he could get a picture framed.

While he was busy, I decided to wander around the store.

I came upon two young teenage girls discussing the decorating items they needed.

I assumed it was for their bedrooms, until the mother of one of the girls said, “Meg, I am not paying for any of that stuff!”

Her daughter responded, “But Mom, it’s for my school locker.”

I looked at the mother and asked, “Her locker?”

Evidently there is now an industry built around decorating one’s school locker.

I looked down the aisle and

Evidently there is now an industry built around decorating one’s school locker.”

Now what?

spotted a large selection of magnetic wallpaper. There were themes for sports, music, and academics. Then of course, one must change out the wallpaper for the various holiday seasons.

And that was not all. There were magnetic mirrors, wood-

en locker shelves, all kinds of decorative magnets with flowers, animals, and symbols.

You could even find locker curtains and cute little magnetic chandeliers. (REALLY!) As I stood there gawking, I started to recall my own high school locker. I believe it had one metal shelf and two hooks. That was it.

When I got into my locker it was to exchange books and

“I did have to buy a lock though,” I told the mother.

Then she told me about her own school locker. She was younger and by the time she went to school, kids were using magnetic plastic letters inside

their lockers and they had started to carry bookbags. She said it was a challenge shoving the bag, a coat, and gym uniform into the skinny lockers.

She also recalled how easy it was to change out “I love Todd” to “I love Bill” when there was a breakup using her magnetic letters. I told her that in my day, girls would write on the wall in the girl’s locker room. It might be “I love Mikey – 4 Ever” only to have to scratch out Mikey’s name down the road.

Then came the piece de resistance. As we stood there laughing, her daughter Meg walked up with a white fluffy carpet for the bottom of the
