COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

School board tables motion to mandate masks Body will vote after SC Supreme Court rules on similar case By Mike McCombs Once again, the Beaufort County Board of Education has chosen to wait. At a specially scheduled meeting that lasted more than six hours, the school board voted Monday night to table board member William Smith’s motion to make masks mandatory in Beaufort County Schools until after the S.C. Supreme Court has ruled on a similar case involving Columbia schools. S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson, has filed suit against the City of Columbia, directly with the S.C. Supreme Court, alleging that the city’s

mask mandate is illegal as a result of the state legislature’s budget Proviso 1.108, signed into law by Gov. Henry McMaster. “The lawsuit mentions and would also apply to all cities, towns, coun-

ties, and school boards that have passed or are seeking to pass mask mandates,” the Attorney General’s office said Thursday in a release. The board went into executive session a few minutes after 9 p.m. so that the board could get pertinent legal and medical advice. While behind closed doors, the board heard from members of Halligan Mahoney & Williams, a Columbia law firm “best known for providing comprehensive legal services to public school districts across South Carolina, as well as to charter and private schools and colleges,” according to its website.

UPDATED BCSD COVID NUMBERS For the week of Aug. 16-22, Beaufort County School District had 180 students and 20 faculty and staff members test positive. There are 1,315 students and 40 faculty and staff members quarantining. The three schools with the most positive cases are all south of the Broad River – Bluffton High School (23), Hilton Head Island High (16) and May River High School (16). – Staff reports

After emerging from executive session roughly two hours and 15 minutes later, the board once again

began to debate Smith’s motion. In short order, Ingrid Boatright, who made the original motion last Tuesday night to postpone voting on Smith’s motion until the board could get legal advice, again made a motion, this time to table Smith’s motion, for now. Boatright said though the board had received a fair amount of information on the topic, between public commentary and advice given during executive session, she was still not ready to make a decision.

COVID-19 deaths rising

A HECK OF A START

At least 7 die of COVID in Beaufort County over 3 days By Mike McCombs Monday’s COVID-19 numbers released by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (S.C.

The numbers are always delayed by two days, but in the previous three days, officials reported seven COVID-19 deaths in Beaufort County, five confirmed cases and two probable cases. There have been 12 deaths in Beaufort county in the week of Aug. 15 to Aug. 22, all middle-aged or elderly patients. There have been 20 deaths overall in Beaufort County since July 1.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Taub’s column vicious, meanspirited, uninformed

I would like to commend your staff for giving us a lot of local news, and most of the paper is a pleasure to read; however, I do not feel that way about your Op-Ed contributors. I stopped subscribing to the Island Packet because its editorial content was totally from one perspective only. I agree with the readers who wrote to you that you need new voices, especially ones that are not so entrenched in their views that they leave no room for other thoughts and ideas. Mr. Taub's column of July 29 was vicious, mean-spirited, uninformed and typical of those who "drank the Kool-aid." I would like you to consider presenting other thoughts, ideas, opinions and I challenge you to be above the lamestream media and have the courage to allow other takes on the news of the day. Thank you for your consideration.

Mayor Taub’s article ‘terrific and timely’

(Mayor Taub’s) article in (the Aug. 19) edition of The Island News, entitled “An evolutionary truth: There is safety in numbers,” is terrific and timely. This information is so badly needed to be distributed by every means possible, including newspaper, magazine, newsletter, radio, television, public announcements, billboards and more. To put it mildly, it is mind boggling and disappointing that so many Americans are vaccination illiterate and endangering the entire world. I am so worried about my school age grandchildren and my fellow Americans – and brothers and sisters the world over. Thank you for such a provocative, accurate, helpful, compassionate, and timely article. Sincerely and respectfully,

United Way gets donation from Food Lion Feeds From staff reports United Way of the Lowcountry (UWLC) has received $2,000 from the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation to help feed local neighbors in their time of need. UWLC will use the gift to purchase non-perishable food items and water to include in backpacks for people experiencing homelessness in Beaufort and Jasper counties. “We’re extremely grateful for the support of the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation,” UWLC President and CEO Dale Douthat said in a news release. “The economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have put more of our neighbors at risk of entering homelessness. This gift will help us provide a bit of comfort during trying times.”

CORRECTION:

The UWLC Homeless Backpack program provides items that are often difficult for anyone homeless to obtain on their own. Each backpack includes an assortment of basic necessities including non-perishable food, water and hygiene products. They are distributed through UWLC partner agencies as well as through direct contact with individuals in need. The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting families facing food insecurity across its 10-state footprint. Established in 2001, the foundation provides financial support for programs and organizations dedicated to feeding local neighbors in the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $15 million in grants.

PORT ROYAL ell, it’s finally happened. Port Royal has more citizens than its neighbor, the City of Beaufort. According to the 2020 census figures, the town established in 1874 has 14,220 people who say they live there; Beaufort, the county seat incorporated in 1711, has 13,607. The numbers indicate Beaufort’s population grew by 10.1 percent since 2010; Port Royal’s, by 33.2 percent. What these numbers mean is up to anyone’s interpretation. Both municipalities have been busy in the past years annexing, expanding their boundaries. For example, Beaufort still is the “largest” in size at 25 square miles compared to Port Royal at 19.55 square miles. But while Port Royal has been busy expanding to take

LOLITA HUCKABY

in apartment developments, especially long Paris Island Gateway and S.C. 170, Beaufort has been taking in largely commercial tracts which have helped promote its tax base. However one might interpret the numbers, it means neither municipality can truly claim to be a “sleepy, quiet, little town” in its promotional materials. More people expect more services; County Council prepares space for next 30 years BEAUFORT – County

Council got its first look last week at a long-range facilities plan that’s going to have some interesting future impact on government services as well as tax bills. For the past year and a half, actually longer, county officials have been saying “wait for the facilities plan” when questioned about building needs. The renovated Arthur Horne Office building on Ribaut Road which grew from one to three-stories is nearing completion but construction – just like the residential development in the county – is far from over. Creech and Associates, an architectural firm out of Charlotte and Charleston, has been surveying existing county facilities to project building needs for the next 30 years. The report they presented to the County Council is,

unfortunately, not posted on the county website so the people who paid for the study can look at it but council members – who conceded they had a bit of “sticker shock” stressed the recommendations are very much in the draft stage. A look at the draft report can be found at https:// creech-design.sharefile. com/share/view/sfe5037f312ac4377b7f7b75910d86cc9. The report takes a look at only 52 of the primarily 105 county-owned buildings. The report projects a doubling of future space needs, from 600,000 square feet to 1.2 million square feet. This will be to accommodate the county employees who will increase from the current 1,389 to 2,227, based on conversations with department heads and other county service providers.

The very rough price tag for these expansions is $300 million which the consultants suggested could be paid for by sale of existing surplus property owned by the county and future budgets. To further stimulate the discussion, the county legal department presented a partial list of those county-owned properties that could be sold, ranging from smaller than an acre up to 32 acres. Just a few of the interesting options to be considered is creation of a crosswalk over Ribaut to a potential new administrative building in the old Piggly Wiggly at the corner of Ribaut and Boundary, new district offices in the Camp St. Mary’s area of southern Beaufort County, to house another officer for the solicitor and the sheriff’s department “special

ops,” including space to warehouse their many pieces of mobile equipment. Of course the county is already at work to renovate the former federal courthouse on Bay Street to house the administrative offices of the sheriff’s department but such a move is considered “temporary” until the Sheriff gets a new consolidated Law Enforcement Center more centrally located in the county. It’s all numbers, and who knows what will be needed in the next 30 years if folks keep flocking here for the Lowcountry charm.

JPII, St. Peter’s, TCL, USC Beaufort requiring masks From staff reports While the Beaufort County School District has devoted the better part of three board meetings over the past two weeks debating whether or not to enact a mask mandate, the county’s Catholic schools, as well as the county’s two colleges, have moved forward with mask requirements. The county’s four Catholic schools — John Paul II in Okatie, St. Peter’s on Lady’s Island, St. Gregory the Great in Bluffton and St. Francis

on Hilton Head Island — are now requiring students, faculty and staff to wear masks. Parents were notified in a Tuesday, Aug. 17, letter from the Charleston Diocese. William H. Ryan, Secretary for Education and Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Charleston wrote to parents: “I hope and pray your opening week has been filled with excitement and great joy even as the COVID-19

pandemic continues. As we all know, the pandemic has been somewhat unpredictable, and as we have stated from the beginning, our plans must remain fluid. After many weeks of seeing the number of positive cases in the state decrease over the summer, that number is currently rising daily. Due to that increase, we have decided to require, in addition to our plan for social distancing, that all students, faculty and staff wear masks during

the school day. Masks will not be required outdoors, as long as appropriate social distancing can be maintained. This will be effective tomorrow, August 18, 2021. We will continue to monitor reported cases and will revisit this policy as needed. As a community, we must work together to stop the spread of this virus. I wish you and your child a blessed and successful school year.” The

Technical

College

of the Lowcountry and the University of South Carolina Beaufort enacted mandatory mask policies on Wednesday, Aug. 18. On TCL campuses, masks will be required for all individuals while indoors. Vaccinated or unvaccinated, this policy includes employees, students, visitors and vendors in all indoor spaces unless working alone in a private office. Masks may also be removed temporarily for eating

or drinking. The school will evaluate the situation at regular intervals as the semester progresses to determine a safe end date for the mandate. Similarly at USC Beaufort, all students, employees and campus visitors are required to wear face masks when indoors and in the presence of others. Face masks are not required while alone inside private rooms in residence halls or inside private, enclosed offices.

Oaks Elementary School; Lynne Sunday, Media Specialist at H.E. McCracken Middle School; and Aimee Whitesell, biology teacher at Battery Creek High School. Superintendent Frank Rodriguez made surprise vis-

its to each of the finalists’ schools on Thursday to announce the five selections. “The secret to a school’s success is not surprising,” Rodriguez said in a release. “It’s having amazing teachers in our schools. Our five finalists for District Teacher of the Year are wonderful examples of the phenomenal educational professionals that we have in Beaufort County.” The District Teacher of

the Year will be announced this fall. Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that began when school-level teachers of the year were selected in May. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the Year submitted detailed applications in July. In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former

educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviewed the applications and rated them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants were named as finalists. In the next step, the five finalists will be interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. The judges will

score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching experiences and about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel will select a District Teacher of the Year to represent Beaufort County’s classroom professionals. The current Teacher of the Year is Okatie Elementary second-grade teacher Dr. Megan DeWeese.

Supreme Court was expected to rule on the Columbia case in a matter of days. “Knowing there is imminent clarification coming,” Boatright said, “… my preference is that we table this matter.” Boatright moved that the board table Smith’s motion until the S.C. Supreme Court makes its ruling. Melvin Campbell seconded the motion. Tricia Fidrych said that knowing how the court would rule would be “crucial going forward with this discussion.” Only Smith opposed postponing the vote again, saying the board was taking a chance with the lives of kids, staff and teachers, even mentioning a temporary mask mandate. He said he felt like the board was failing to take a stand, instead kicking the can down the road. Boatright said that was not the intention of her motion. “We need to know what legally we can do,” she said, “and how we’re going to do it.” The board voted 9-2 to table Smith’s motion with only Smith and Rachel Wisnefski opposing.

Disability rights groups and parents of children with disabilities filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday, Aug. 24, challenging the proviso that bans school districts from imposing mask mandates in schools.

Newberry County School District’s Board of Trustees voted in favor of a mask mandate Monday night for all students and staff, but it announced Tuesday that because the mandate was not on the meeting agenda, they would not enforce it.

The parents and disability rights groups represent students whose disability, including underlying health conditions, makes them particularly susceptible to severe illness from COVID-19, and argue that the ban on mask mandates effectively excludes these students from public schools, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act.

The board plans to meet again at 7 p.m., Monday, Aug. 30 to reconsider the mandate. In a 6-1 school board vote Monday night, the Chester County School District will require face coverings in schools, as well. – Staff reports

about the district’s uniform policy, Smith moved that once the Supreme Court rules on the Columbia case, the board would vote on his motion within 48 hours. His motion was seconded by Melvin Campbell. David Striebinger amended the motion so that the board would vote within 48 hours of the board learning of the Supreme Court ruling. Then Fidrych made a substitute motion that changed 48 hours to two business days to avert the chance of the board voting on the weekend. The board voted on this substitute motion, which passed 9-1-1. Wisnefski voted no, while Chair Christina Gwozdz abstained. The board then voted unanimously to adjourn. The meeting opened at 5:30 p.m. with more than 70 people registered to make public comments. At three

minutes per speaker, that meant the board was in for a long night, but the board decided against shortening the time limit and committed to hearing all the speakers. All in all, those opposed to masks slightly outnumbered those in favor among the public comments. Among those present, a majority were against masking, while those in favor were a clear majority among those who commented by phone. Though lengthy, the process was orderly and respectful, for the most part. Citizens on both sides shared a lot of “data,” quoting everyone from John Lewis to Ronald Reagan to Beaufort County Education Superintendent Frank Rodriguez to even Captain America. Many opposed to masks cited freedom of choice, faulty science, government overreach and child abuse.

The groups and parents are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of South Carolina, S.C. Appleseed Legal Justice Center, Disability Rights South Carolina, Wyche, P.A., and Arnold & Porter. The lawsuit argues that the enforcement of this provision places all students, teachers, staff and their families at risk, but particularly targets children with disabilities that put them at higher risk for severe illness, lingering disabilities, or even death due to COVID-19. “South Carolina’s prohibition on mask mandates requires school districts to defy their obligations under federal law and precludes them from following the official guidance from the CDC or SCDHEC. It is illegal, dangerous, and irresponsible,” ACLU of South Carolina Director of Legal Advocacy Allen Chaney said in a release. – Staff reports

And many threatened to pull their kids out of Beaufort County schools or to take legal action. “You are lying to our children and forcing them to join you in wearing tin foil hats,” Eric Lawson told the board. On the other side, those in favor of masks lamented that after following the science last year, the school district was not doing the same this year. While they universally agreed that virtual schooling had been a disaster, they said it at least was a choice that could keep their children

safe, something they feel they are without this year. One parent said that for her kids who are too young to be vaccinated, forcing them to go to school where other kids were not masking was essentially making her kids “sitting ducks in a petri dish.” Another parent told the board, “I have no option other than to send my (kids) back to school. It’s your job to protect them.”

cases on Monday and the seven-day average rose to 151, the high in Beaufort County since the pandemic began. The previous high was 147 on Sunday. There were 3,121 positive cases and 10 deaths reported statewide on Monday. The positivity rate was 16.2 percent. On Sunday, those numbers were even higher – 4,009 positive cases and 25 deaths. At Beaufort Memorial Hospital, as of Tuesday morning, there were 51 COVID positive patients being treated, a high for BMH since the pandemic began. Seven of those cases are in the ICU, and six of those seven are on ventilators. Also, two of those are pediatric cases, both children younger than a year old.

County Council to debate Envision Beaufort soon From staff reports The Beaufort County Planning Commission is ready to present Envision Beaufort County – 2040 County Comprehensive Plan to County Council after 17 months of work. “The process started in March of 2020, with the

community shaping the original draft. Over the last 17 months, we received very detailed and thoughtful inputs from the community that help us ensure the 2040 County Comprehensive plan meets the needs, goals, and vision of our citizens,” Chairman of the Planning Com-

mission Ed Pappas said in a release. In conjunction with the County Planning Department, the Planning Commission had numerous surveys to capture public thoughts and several virtual and in-person meetings to discuss the draft document.

“The County is incorporating the final edits to the Comprehensive Plan and will be ready to present it to County Council for consideration and debate this fall,” Acting Director of the Beaufort County Community Development Department Robert Merchant said.

The final version of the Comprehensive Plan will be available for review Aug. 31. The revisions to the draft proposal do not change the fundamental concepts. The final document will be presented for approval to the Planning Commission Thursday, Sept. 9. If ap-

proved, the Natural Resource Committee will review it Monday, Oct. 4. The First Reading of the plan will be at the County Council meeting Oct. 11. The final vote on the plan will be Nov. 8. For more information, go to https://www.envisionbeaufortcounty.com/.

SC AAP urges parents to send children to school in masks

From staff reports The S.C. Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (SC AAP), along with State Epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell and State Education Superintendent Molly Spearman, urged parents at a press conference held Tuesday, Aug. 17, to send children to school wearing masks to reduce the spread of COVID-19. SC AAP is a network of more than 700 pediatricians of all pediatric specialties across South Carolina. “As their pediatricians, we know that children need so many things that school offers – education and learning, socialization, mental health services and counseling, activities, nutrition and protective

services,” SC APP President and physician Dr. Robert Saul said. “We saw what happened last year during the school lockdown during the height of the pandemic and we do not want to see that happen again. We want our children back in schools. However, if we want our children to stay in school, we must take measures to keep them safe and healthy.” “When it comes to your child’s health, please do not rely on social media. Ask a healthcare expert who knows you and your child — your pediatrician,” pediatrician and past President of the SC AAP Dr. Debbie Greenhouse said. The SC AAP continued to stress the following CDC and

DHEC recommendations: – Children younger than vaccination age should be in masks when inside and in proximity with others, including in schools and on buses. – In a non-household group of both vaccinated and unvaccinated children (and/or adults), everyone should be masked when in close proximity for maximum protection. – Vaccination for eligible children and adults, along with masking, greatly reduces risks of transmitting the highly contagious Delta variant. Children aged 12 and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. To schedule a vaccination appointment visit scdhec.gov/

covid19/covid-19-vaccine. Despite public perception, anyone can be infected with COVID-19. To date, more than 4 million children and adolescents have been infected with the virus in the United States. Last week alone, positive cases in more than 92,000 children were reported in the U.S. The risk of death from COVID-19 among children is low. However, the virus can cause serious disease and long-term adverse health effects. Thousands have been hospitalized and several hundred children have lost their lives. “This is not an ‘old person’s disease.’ We are seeing patients of all ages,” associate

professor and pediatrician Dr. Annie Andrews said. As a parent of two children with chronic pulmonary disease, Leslie Jackson knows the reality of wearing masks to protect her children all too well. “Medically complex families like ours know firsthand that masks are one of the best defenses for us. This is just part of our lives,” Jackson said. “But with COVID-19 it’ll take more than just masking ourselves and our children to survive this virus. We need our community to help protect us too.” Bell, the top epidemiologist in the state, has been at the forefront of the COVID response in South Carolina

since the pandemic began. That includes her work at DHEC to increase vaccination rates across the state. "I’ve said this hundreds of times since Dec. 14 when COVID-19 vaccines first became available in South Carolina: high vaccination coverage is the only way out of this pandemic," Bell said. "We strongly urge everyone, ages 12 and up, to get vaccinated. This prevents illness and death in those vaccinated and reduces spread to protect those who are too young to be vaccinated. We have to do more to bring this pandemic under control, and we have to do it now. The solutions are immediately within our grasp."

What is jasmine rice and how healthy is it?

Jasmine rice is a fragrant side dish in many Thai and Asian dishes, and people more commonly eat it in its refined, white form. However, consuming high carbohydrate foods, such as white rice, in excess has links with health conditions, including obesity and an increased risk of disease. Therefore, choosing whole grain varieties is more beneficial to health. Whole grain rice has more beneficial nutrients than white rice, as it can help someone feel more full, while their body is more able to balance their energy. However, all types of rice can contain toxic arsenic. Jasmine rice originated in Thailand. Local people refer to it as Thai Hom Mali Rice, and they have developed superior varieties since a local farmer discovered it in 1945. An aromatic amino aldehyde gene gives jasmine rice its distinctive flavor and fragrance, and it cooks to a soft, fluffy texture. People use white jasmine rice more commonly, but brown varieties are also available. Uncooked white grains have a polished, clear, and glossy appearance. Jasmine rice is suitable for Asian dishes such as Thai stir-fries, congee, and rice puddings.

Nutritional profile

The nutrition profile of jasmine rice is similar to regular white rice, with comparable amounts of calories, macronutrients, and calcium. A 150 gram (g) serving of

cooked white jasmine rice has the following nutrients:

such as anthocyanins, which protect the body from free radicals, are also higher in whole grain rice. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, although Americans meet recommendations for total grain intakes, 98% fall below what the government recommends for whole grains, while 74% exceed limits for refined grains. Health experts recommend that people include whole grains in their diet because research links them to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, and other chronic diseases.

Nutrient Amount per cooked 150g serving Energy 200 kcal Protein 4g Fat less than a gram Carbohydrate 46 g Fiber 1.05 g Calcium 19.5 mg Additionally, whole grain rice varieties contain beneficial nutrients, such as magnesium, selenium, and B vitamins. Rice is a high carbohydrate food, so the health risks and benefits of eating it are similar to those of other carbohydrates. People can include carbohydrates as part of a nutritious diet, but if they eat too much of this food type and perform little physical activity, they may increase their weight as well as their risk of chronic diseases.

Arsenic in rice

ditionally, the ADA indicates that populations that eat more refined grains, such as white rice, have a higher risk of diabetes. In contrast, brown jasmine rice contains fiber that helps slow the digestion of carbs in

the body. Additionally, according to data from the USDA Food Data Center, brown jasmine rice has slightly more protein and fiber compared to white, but it does not contain the calcium that white rice does. Additionally, antioxidants,

Rice contains arsenic, a neurotoxic substance that can cause cancer. The 2016 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report on arsenic in rice and rice products advised that the risk of cancer increases with rice consumption and that unborn babies are susceptible to adverse health effects from maternal intake. Furthermore, the report highlights that eliminating rice and rice products from the diets of infants and children under the age of 6 years could reduce their lifetime cancer risk by 6% and 23%, respectively. Additionally, the FDA advises that rinsing rice has a variable impact on reducing arsenic content but also reduces enriched B vitamins and iron. Finally, the FDA notes that

fore that, as well as regular cooling down and hydration afterwards.” Risk for heat illness, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, is highest when kids exercise in hot, humid weather. Symptoms of heat illness include nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion. If untreated, heat illness can be

deadly. Dehydration increases the risk of heat-related illness. Signs of dehydration include thirst, headache, dizziness and fatigue. When caught early, dehydration can be easily treated with fluids. But, Dr. Keating said getting ahead of the heat is best. He recommends taking

frequent breaks, removing pads to cool down and drinking plenty of fluids. “The vast majority of the time, water is going to be adequate to hydrate the athletes but if you’re doing very vigorous activity for probably greater than an hour with high intensity, then a sports drink may help out to help replenish some of those

Brown or white rice?

The health benefits of jasmine rice depend on whether it is white or whole grain. White rice is polished, and manufacturers remove the germ and bran from the grains, making it a refined grain. Conversely, whole grain rice contains these beneficial parts of the grain, which add fiber to someone’s diet and can slow down the release of blood sugar. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) advises that white rice typically has a high glycemic index and glycemic load, which can cause spikes in blood glucose. Ad-

they need to conduct more research to obtain additional information about the risk of arsenic in rice.

Summary

Jasmine rice has a distinctive aroma and flavor that makes it suitable for Thai and other Asian dishes. Most people use the white variety of jasmine rice, a refined carbohydrate with a high glycemic index. However, eating too many refined carbohydrates has associations with certain health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, but including whole grains in the diet has health benefits. Therefore, it is best when choosing rice to opt for whole grain options to reduce the risk of adverse health conditions. Additionally, rice contains arsenic, which is toxic to the body. It may be beneficial for infants and children under 6 years old to limit their rice consumption and rice products. A pregnant person can also pass on these toxic compounds to their fetus, so they should be mindful of how much rice they eat.

Are people with IBD at higher risk of COVID-19?

One study in the Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis notes that the evidence suggests that people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), do not have an increased risk of COVID-19. However, there are some factors for people with IBD to consider. For example, some treatments for IBD may suppress the immune system, putting a person at greater risk of infections such as SARSCoV-2. This includes drugs such as: • immunomodulators, including methotrexate, azathioprine, and 6-mercaptopurine • Janus kinase inhibitors, such as tofacitinib • long-term steroids, such as hydrocortisone, prednisone, and methylprednisolone • anti-tumor necrosis factor biologics, including infliximab, adalimumab, and golimumab • other biologic drugs, such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab

These drugs may suppress the immune system to help control IBD symptoms. However, this same function may also put people at greater risk of COVID-19 or its complications. Anyone taking these types of drugs should not stop taking them without consulting a doctor first. Stopping medication abruptly may cause symptom flare-ups. A study in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology notes that people whose conditions are stable should continue taking their medications. Anyone who is uncertain about their treatment or who is experiencing a symptom flare-up should contact their doctor. Anyone who had previously scheduled surgeries or endoscopies should consider postponing these during the COVID-19 pandemic. They should discuss all options with a doctor in each case. Other people who may be at higher risk of COVID-19 include: • pregnant women

• people over the age of 65 • people with active-stage IBD who are at risk of malnutrition • those with other underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease A person with IBD who also fits into one or more of these categories may be at greater risk of infection.

sea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In people with IBD who already experience digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, this may mean a worsening of symptoms. Severe complications from

the disease may include difficulty breathing that requires medical intervention. Also, in cases where the infection worsens diarrhea, the person may also be at increased risk of malnutrition.

Anyone who experiences symptoms such as shortness of breath, a constant pressure in the chest, or a bluish tint to the skin of their face or lips needs emergency medical care.

Complications

Anyone with IBD who starts experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 — such as a fever, a dry cough, or shortness of breath — should call their doctor to discuss their treatment options. Some people may experience a worsening of IBD symptoms if they have COVID-19. Although the most common symptoms of COVID-19 occur in the airways, a study in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology notes that around 4–6% of people with COVID-19 experience digestive symptoms such as nau-

Why eat berries? Let us count the ways By Mayo Clinic Staff Even the pickiest eaters seldom need to be coerced into eating a bowl of strawberries or raspberries. After all, berries are nature's candy. Fortunately, berries are as healthy as they are delicious. Whether you're adding a handful of blueberries to your breakfast cereal or tossing a few strawberries into your smoothie, adding berries to your diet is a win-win. Berries are small fruits with even smaller seeds and can be eaten whole without peeling or pitting. Some common berries include blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. But there are many other types of berries, like acai berries, boysenberries, cloudberries, cranberries, currants, elderberries, gooseberries and wolfberries — also known as goji berries.

Why are berries so good for you?

As a rule, all berries are nutritious. Consider these powerful health benefits: • Berries help improve your cholesterol levels and lower your blood sugar levels. You can thank all the fiber for that.

Just 1 cup of raspberries or blackberries contains around 8 grams (grams) of fiber. One cup of blueberries or strawberries has around 3 grams of fiber. (In comparison, a packet of instant oatmeal contains 4 grams of fiber.) And despite their sweet taste, berries generally have a low glycemic load. This means that they digest fairly slowly due to their fiber content, which keeps the bump in blood sugar—and your insulin response—modest after eating them. • Berries pack a vitamin and mineral punch. Berries provide an array of vitamins, including vitamin A, the B vitamins, and vitamins C and K. And minerals? Look no further for healthy amounts of potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron. • Berries have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects — and more. Berries are high in phytonutrients, plant chemicals that have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. Some of the best berry phytonutrients are antho-

cyanins—which are the pigments that give berries their color. Berry antioxidants and phytonutrients also help fight infection and boost the immune system, improve blood vessel function, cholesterol levels and blood pressure, and protect nerve cells and the brain. • Berries may reduce your risk of heart attack. Research suggests that a few weekly servings of anthocyanin-rich berries, like strawberries and blueberries, may significantly reduce your risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease. They may also delay cognitive decline associated with aging and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

COLLAGEN AND BIOTIN SUPPLEMENTS

By Lisa Mejia, R.D.N., Nutrition Service, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida Collagen and biotin supplements appear to be getting more attention in the media for promoting healthy aging, along with joint and bone health. However, it is important to understand what collagen and biotin are and what research is available to support these claims. Collagen is concentrated in bones, ligaments, tendons, skin, blood vessels and internal organs. It helps provide elasticity and strength. As you age, you begin to lose the collagen within your body, and it becomes harder for you to make more. At least 30% of your body's protein content is made from collagen. Collagen is made from four amino acids, which are the building

blocks for protein: proline, glycline, lysine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids are grouped together in a form known as a triple helix, and that is what makes up collagen. For this triple helix to be formed, you need to have enough vitamin C, zinc, copper and manganese in your diet. Within the human body, 29 types of collagens have been identified, with three types making up the vast majority. These are the types you'll usually find in a collagen supplement: • Type I This type is found in bones, ligaments, tendons and skin for elasticity and strength. The supplement source comes from bovine and fish. • Type II This type is cartilage.

The supplement source comes from chicken cartilage and joint. • Type III This type is found alongside type I in skin, blood vessels and internal organs. The supplement source comes from bovine. If you are planning to take a collagen supplement, either in liquid or powder form, it is important to mention that the triple helix that makes up collagen is unable to be absorbed in its whole form. It will first be broken down into individual amino acids within the gastrointestinal tract before reaching the bloodstream. The body will then reassemble and form new proteins where it sees necessary and for a use it feels is needed. These new proteins may not contain the same ami-

no acids that were initially ingested in the collagen supplement, and it is unknown if these restructured proteins will target the area a supplement manufacturer is advertising. Therefore, it is undetermined at this time if the body will use a collagen supplement that is purported to help skin, hair, nail and joint support to actually make collagen that would do so. In addition, limited large and long-term randomized control trials support the use and recommendation for collagen supplements for the general public. From a general health perspective, it is important to ensure adequate protein within your diet. As you age, your protein needs increase slightly to maintain lean body mass. Consuming foods that contain the primary amino acids that make up collagen may help support skin, hair, nail and joint health as you age. These foods are good sources of glycine, proline, lysine and hydroxyproline: • Bone broth.

• Unflavored gelatin. • Dairy, especially parmesan cheese. • Legumes. • Non-genetically modified soy, such as tofu. • Spirulina. • Animal sources, such as red meat, poultry, pork, fish and eggs. To support the formation of collagen, it is also important to ensure adequate intake of foods that contain vitamin C, zinc, copper and manganese. These nutrients can be found by eating a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables, including green leafy and root vegetables, along with nuts and seeds — especially hemp, pumpkin and cashews. Finally, being mindful of what can damage collagen production is important. Such factors include excess sugar intake, smoking, sun exposure or ultraviolet light, and environmental pollutants. Biotin is a form of the vitamin B7 that helps enzymes break down fats, carbohydrates and protein.

While it has been marketed for healthier hair, skin and nails, there is no evidence that taking additional biotin will achieve these claims. Taking biotin in supplement form may only benefit those with an underlying medical condition that interferes with biotin or those with alcoholism who can be deficient. For the general population, adequate biotin intake of 30 micrograms per day can be achieved from diet alone without the need for supplementation. Biotin can be found in salmon, avocado, sweet potato, pork, and nuts and seeds. High doses of biotin — 10–300 milligrams per day — can provide false high or low blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, vitamin D and troponin. Therefore, it is important to let your health care provider know if you are taking a biotin supplement — or any supplement.

Hicks leads Whale Branch to improbable win

Senior RB scores 4 of his 6 TDs in 4th-quarter comeback over Calhoun County By Mike McCombs SEABROOK – With Whale Branch trailing Calhoun County, 44-26, at the start of the fourth quarter at home Friday night, senior running back Joseph Hicks, the Warriors’ best offensive player, should have expected to figure heavily in the final 12 minutes if his team was to have a chance. He only touched the ball four times. It was enough. Hicks scored touchdowns on his only four touches of the fourth quarter – four of his six touchdowns – to lead Class 1A No. 4 Whale Branch (1-0) to an improbable 5450 come-from-behind victory over the Calhoun County Saints (0-1). Hicks scored on runs of 50, 25 and 8 yards before his 66-yard kickoff return with 1:26 remaining finally gave the Warriors the lead. Then they held on for their lives. “We knew they couldn’t stop the counter … we ran three consecutive counters in the second half and we scored three touchdowns,” Whale Branch head coach Jerry Hatcher said. “But they’d get the ball right back and they’d go bam, bam, bam.” And they did. On their final drive, the Saints used two pass interference penalties and a 24-yard completion from Russell Brunson Jr. to Jamavie Glover to work their way to the Whale Branch 12 with 33 seconds remaining. “We can’t play football like that,” Hatcher said. Justen Brunson’s 7-yard run put them in a third-and-3 situation at the Warriors 5 with just 17 seconds left. Taking a big chance, Calhoun County kept the ball on the ground. But Russell Brunson was

Photo by Bob Sofaly. stopped after gaining just a yard. However, a late start to the clock helped the Saints line up in time for one last play. But then Russell Brunson made a mental error. Failing to realize it was fourth down, he grounded the ball to stop the clock instead of running a play, turning the ball over on downs to the Warriors with 6 seconds left. “It shows we can push through, we can finish,” Hicks said. “We’re all brothers. We were telling each other on the field, keep your head up, be ready for the next play.” Hicks, a preseason First-Team All-Lowco selection, got his senior year started with authority. He carried the ball just 10 times but piled up 178 yards and four touchdowns. He added two kickoff returns – 76 and 66 yards – for scores, as well.

“I’m blessed,” Hicks said. “If it wasn’t for God, it wouldn’t happen.” “Hicks is a stud,” Hatcher said. “I can’t get anybody to come look at him. But it’s because he doesn’t have that ‘breakaway speed.’ Well, speed must be relative. You didn’t see anyone catch him tonight, did you?” Sophomore Mason Griffin (two carries, 44 yards) added a 31-yard touchdown run for a Warriors offense that, outside of Hicks, was lackluster. The team amassed 268 yards on the ground on 30 carries, and starting quarterback Kai’Shawn Jenkins completed just one pass, though he showed a good arm, for 15 yards. “The pass protection is not what it should be,” Hatcher said. “And

we’ve got two (quarterbacks) that can get the ball there. We’ve just got to get it protected better. Jenkins also lost two fumbles, including one on one of the strangest plays in recent memory. On first down from the Whale Branch 35, Jenkins tried to field a low snap and simply couldn’t pick it up. The pocket collapsed, and everyone swarmed to the ball. By the time Calhoun County’s Devin Bull actually wrapped it up in the end zone, the ball had been touched and nearly recovered by at least dozen players. On special teams, Warriors sophomore wide receiver Keith Chisholm opened the game with an 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the first of Whale Branch’s three kickoff return scores.

The Whale Branch defense essentially shut down the Saints running game, holding them to an unspectacular 131 yards on 37 carries. But until his mental error at the end, senior quarterback Russell Brunson Jr. was a thorn in their side, completing 11 of 23 passes for 293 yards and big touchdowns of 53 and 32 yards. Seven of his 11 completions went for more than 20 yards. “It’s the first game of the year,” Hatcher said. “You always want something bad to show (the kids) as a coach. And we got it. We’ll show them this and tell them the world is coming to an end. We’ll fire ’em up.” Mike McCombs is the editor of The Island News and can be reached at TheIslandNews@gmail.com.

Beaufort dominant in border battle vs. Richmond Hill BA breezes LowcoSports.com Beaufort High got the job done on the ground and put together a dominant defensive effort to open the season with a 28-8 home win over Richmond Hill on Friday. Amariee Morris rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns, Tyler Haley added a rushing touchdown, and Zack Talbert’s strip and

54-yard fumble return for a score capped off an outstanding performance from the two-time defending Region 7-4A champion Eagles. The Wildcats weren’t at full strength for the border battle, as several key players did not suit up due to COVID-19 protocols, including quarterback Ty Goldrick. The short-handed offense

had little success against a strong defensive front for Beaufort led by Eamon Smalls and Alvin Wilson, who controlled the line of scrimmage. Haley capped off the game’s first scoring drive with a 1-yard plunge for the only scoring of the first quarter, but Morris got rolling in the second. The speedy

senior bounced around the left side and went 21 yards to the end zone to make it 14-0, and he added a 2-yard touchdown run to make it 21-6 in the third quarter. Beaufort’s defense pitched a shutout — the Wildcats’ only scoring came on a kickoff return touchdown and a safety after pinning the Eagles at the 1 — and Talbert

provided the punctuation for an impressive outing, stripping the ball and going 54 yards for a score to thwart a promising drive that could have gotten the Wildcats back in it and sealing the win. Beaufort (1-0) takes on another Georgia foe Friday, traveling to Effingham County.

Daley dazzles as Dolphins dominate Golden Warriors By Wes Kerr Hilton Head Prep coach Dave Adams was faced with the formidable task of replacing Tommy Stauffer and Carson King entering the home opener against John Paul II. Two touchdowns and 237 yards later, he found his answer. Junior running back Loncelle Daley delivered a breakout performance on the ground and on the defensive line Friday, propelling the Dolphins to an impressive 3816 season-opening home victory over John Paul II. “Our game plan was to keep it on the ground, move the chains, and run the clock, and we did that,” Adams said. “Loncelle broke out, Tristan Bonomo managed the game, and it was a good, boring, runthe-clock victory.” A spectacular punt return ignited the Dolphins offense in the opening quarter, as Gunner Askeland sped 45 yards to the JPII 6 before senior transfer Jake Rodney-Brown introduced himself to his home fans with a 2-yard touchdown run. Then senior kicker Trevor Weldon struck from downtown, nail-

ing a 48-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-0. The Golden Warriors found their groove on the ensuing drive, going 80 yards in nine plays as quarterback Christian Tilton came up clutch on fourth-and-1 to sneak into the end zone before trimming the lead to 10-8 on a two-point try. But Hilton Head Prep quickly snatched the momentum back thanks to a 29-yard burst by the new Dolphin signal-caller Bonomo and a 1-yard TD plunge from Daley. Then the Dolphins defense stepped up, as AJ Barger picked off Tilton to set up a second Weldon field goal. John Paul II quickly ran out of time to muster a last-minute drive and found themselves with a 21-8 halftime deficit. Hilton Head Prep’s offense went right back to work to begin the third period, as the Dolphins run game continually dominated a young JPII defensive line. Rodney-Brown plowed through a tackle to finish off the initial drive of the half with a 20-yard carry and his second score of the afternoon. Tilton executed a brilliant

Photo by Justin Jarrertt. desperation pitch to Jackson Ogden in an attempt to cut into the 28-8 lead, but a hungry Dolphins defense forced a fumble to wipe away the scoring threat. The fourth quarter began with a sloppy start, as both offenses spilled the football and turned it over on consecutive

plays. Then Loncelle Daley happened. The junior turned on the jets, evaded a horde of defenders on the left sideline, and dealt a sensational stiffarm on his way to the end zone for a majestic 67-yard touchdown. “In the first half, he broke one up the middle, and all

Loncelle had to do was make one move and he scores,” Adams said. “At halftime, I told him to use his skills. I don’t know if he thought about that when he made that stiff-arm, but he did something I’ve never seen him do before.” It was lightning in a bottle from a junior who just learned

the position, and it gave the Dolphins a commanding 35-8 lead. Weldon’s incredible day wasn’t done, as the senior struck again with a third field goal from 35 yards out. Ogden found the end zone in the dying minutes for JPII, but it was much too late as Bonomo ran down the rest of the clock to seal a dominant home opener victory. Tilton was solid for the Golden Warriors in his inaugural start under center, racking up 101 yards and a score while passing for 61 yards. Tony Hill impressed as a versatile playmaker, totaling 46 rushing yards in limited action and hauling in a 26-yard pass. Ogden picked up right where he left off a season ago, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown on the ground alongside a 25-yard catch. Michael Carbone was outstanding at linebacker with 13 tackles and three for loss, while Peter Hughes put together a monstrous 14-tackle performance at defensive end. Hilton Head Prep (1-0) hosts Colleton Prep on Friday, while John Paul II (0-1) opens region play at Orangeburg Prep.

5 high tech tools to improve performance this football season By Jason Carnes Fall means football season is finally here! The team is practicing diligently, and family and friends are ready to cheer them on. Putting in the extra work conditions a player for a winning season. Here are five high tech gadgets that can help athletes improve their performance:

Smart Fan Training outside in the southern heat can be unbearable. A smart neck fan detects temperatures and provides an all-around breeze accordingly. These devices are lightweight and comfortable. The

c-shape prevents the fan from slipping off during activity.

Wearable monitor Many wearable devices on the market monitor activity, heart rate, oxygen, steps, and other insightful data. Smart socks, watches, vests, armbands are all designed to be worn comfortably while collecting crucial data to help athletes improve their performance. Smart weights A whole set of dumbbells takes up a lot of space at home. If you want the ability to train at home, but have limited space, adjustable weights

are a more condensed solution. Adjustable dumbbells offer a spectrum of weights while only taking up the space of one.

Smart jump rope Endurance is key to making a strong player. Jumping rope is said to be one of the most effective and efficient ways to practice cardio. A smart jump rope syncs to an app on your smartphone to track your workout data. Analytics help you understand your exercise habits and track your progress. Smart foam roller Recovery is a critical part of

training. Using a foam roller on muscles helps them recover after an intense workout. A smart foam roller takes recovery to the next level by adding vibration to help relieve soreness and loosen muscles. It also can increase flexibility and circulation widening a player's range of motion. Connected devices that utilize wi-fi require a strong internet connection to perform properly. Make sure you are getting the speed you need by calling your local internet service provider. Jason Carnes is the General Manager of Hargray.

This morning I continue to contemplate my map

I

t is Thursday, and I’m in North Adams, Mass. It is early, temperate (60 degrees) and I’m looking out at the North Branch of the Hoosic River as it flows down from Vermont. The North Branch is, at this point, contained and canalized in a 40-foot-wide concrete trough. This was responsive to a series of floods that carried multiple houses downstream. It was an expensive project in the 1950s, and there are some who now want to remove the slabs. This morning I have a map of Berkshire County and I’m looking at hiking trails; waterfalls; overlooks that require pulling-on my Vibram-soled, L.L. Bean boots. I am, at 76, wary of some terrain knowing that there are ascents beyond my lung capacity and muscle strength. But I love looking at the map and figuring-out the change of elevation.

L

SCOTT GRABER

Two years ago I ran into a couple of women who were thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. They invited me to join them for 10 miles or so — mostly a descent from Mt. Greylock. I was fine for about 6 miles but developed a blister that grew to the size of a red-seeded table grape. That blister, later photographed, was sent out on the Internet to close friends underscoring my grit and capacity for pain when motivated by younger, female hikers. The women I was with came with a GIS device that

gave them our exact location, elevation, profile of the trail ahead, ground speed and the number of Trump supporters in the neighboring county. I happened to have a map with contour lines and would say, “That’s the summit of Mt Prospect on our left. It’s 2690 ft. high.” After looking at their device they would say, “No, that’s Mt. Williams, the summit sacred to the Naumkeag Tribe, Northern Division, who own 5 casinos in 3 different states.” Alright, I know that there are now, probably, Rolex-sized devices that not only give you surrounding geography, but will give you your heart rate, blood sugar, an EKG reading and a CT scan of your meniscus. I suspect there is probably an app that will connect you with the Cleveland Clinic and warn you — with a small, non-lethal electric shock — that your meniscus is about

to tear and will summon a helicopter to get you off the mountain. Further, the app will say that the cost of the helicopter evacuation is $43,000 but your coverage is only $30,000. OK Boomers, you get the point. Early on one should have been warned by the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources that this hike was beyond the ability of a 76-year-old male, and that there should have been a warning sign saying, “Hike this trail at your own risk, gramps!” All of which reminds me of the incredibly steep Pyramid at Chichen Itza in Mexico and the fact that there was no sign telling cargo shorts-wearing, black sock accessorized oldsters not to climb the Pyramid “without first consulting their medical provider.” There was, how-

ever, an ambulance and an EMS crew at the base of the Pyramid. As I gazed upon the ambulance and crew it occurred to me that the Mexican concept of liability was different from that of the United States. The ambulance was, in essence, a signal that one should consider one’s knees before attempting to summit the top. Further, that one assumed the risk of injury if one walked past the EMS crew, the defibrillator and neck brace displayed for all to see. Of course most Mexicans know that their ancestors once conducted human sacrifice rituals atop this, and other, pyramids. They would march captives and virgins to the top, split-open their sternums, take a bite out of the heart, kidney or liver depending on dietary restrictions, then throw down the remaining body parts to the frantic,

fevered, now-hungry crowd gathered below. With this kind of DNA floating around, it is no wonder that most Mexicans expect little compassion from their government. It is no wonder their notion of governmental liability is more circumscribed and circumspect than our own. And so this morning, I continue to contemplate my map, looking at trails that come with a view, with blueberry barrens, with a small waterfall where my wife and I can bathe after a couple of miles of trekking. But my focus is on the meandering brown lines and how close they are together. I thank the U.S. Geological Survey for that instruction.

Sometimes the normalcy of nothing is best

ast week I was approached by a reader. Experience has taught me to brace for impact. I do my best to avoid controversial issues not for lack of opinion but for lack of places to hide as small island towns are not known for an abundance of anonymity, lest I prefer a blanket of marsh grass. Having written my opinion before and subsequently been accosted in the frozen foods section of Publix, staying on neutral ground is my specialty, in print, not necessarily in real life.

CHERIMIE CRANE WEATHERFORD

There is usually a warning signal, an impressive pronunciation of my name, a newspaper tucked underneath an arm, or a look of disapproving consternation. The walking speed alerted me to prepare to take a

phone call from no one or feign a sudden injury. Considering I am close to running out of sudden injuries, my phone was inconveniently out of reach, and running through a wall is not on my list of favorite things to do, I stood still in anticipation of taking my medicine. He began with ominous pleasantries and, in good fashion, got right to the point. Incurable boredom or long stints in unimaginatively painted waiting rooms led him to read not one but seemingly many of my articles. A few were

entertaining, he admitted, but left him intellectually unsatisfied. Generously endorsing me as having decent potential, he questioned my subject matter. My mundane musings of the endless enlightenment that is imperfectly everyday life offered nothing more than a source of grave disappointment. Occasionally enjoying conversations with strangers over my lackluster skill or failure to utilize my platform for more contentious, emotionally evocative issues, I did have growing

grass to watch. Nevertheless, his passionate decree did have my attention. Is it the current atmosphere of our society that encourages a need for argument or my lack of arousing pontification that causes the need for complaint? His opinion made me think, and not just about a method of escape. Every day we are immersed in an avalanche of adversity, the opportunity to disagree is plentiful, and the mind has no shortage of dread. It is by choice I avoid the crowded arena of controversy.

My writing about the lighter side of life delves into the peculiarities that kindly remind us that we possibly have more in common than what drives us apart.

Truth or consequences also a game of life, sometimes death

R

eal “Truth” is based on empirical evidence, not on “Faith.” Here are some life-saving Truths to go with your morning coffee: COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and they save lives. Wearing masks saves lives. Physical distancing saves lives. COVID-19 is NOT going to disappear — like the flu, it’s probably here to stay. Not getting vaccinated leads inexorably down the broken trail of sickness for oneself and several other unvaccinated friends or relatives, and death. Those who refuse COVID-19 vaccinations whine that it compromises their “freedom.” What freedom would that be? The freedom to die and cause the death of others? The renowned British philosopher, John Stuart Mill, nailed it when he said of liberty (a synonym for freedom) “… The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other

DAVID TAUB

people.” Our forefathers who agreed and acted accordingly were right smart dudes. Unvaccinated folks are much more than a “nuisance;” they threaten everyone. Truth or consequences. Another real Truth: mandating COVID vaccinations is NOT depriving anyone of their freedoms. Delta-Covid is infecting more Americans now than ever before, the overwhelming majority of whom are unvaccinated. Want proof? Consider any of the thousands of infected persons, overloading hospital ICUs, who refused to get immunized but who are now dying a painful death from Covid.

Ask them what they think now about having protected their “freedom” by refusing a life-saving injection. You might find they have a rather different attitude. The cost of lessons unlearned come at a very high price, and are often very painful; too often, lethal. Truth or consequences. Here’s a government mandate that is in your best interest, but it’s very costly if you don’t comply. You must have insurance to get a driver’s license, or to obtain a loan to buy a car. If you drop your car insurance in the name of “freedom,” the insurance company immediately notifies local law enforcement, which immediately terminates your driver’s license and also notifies the relevant credit bureaus. Driving along minding your own business, you mindlessly run a red light in front of a policeperson. Bingo. You not only get a running red-light ticket, but also you are hauled off to the pokey for driving without in-

surance or a driver’s license. Your car is impounded, costing a small fortune to get it back. Then, you pay a traffic-violation fine, have an arrest record (or pay an attorney thousands of dollars to have it expunged); have to take a driver’s course and then retake the driver’s written test again; all of this to secure your driver’s license again. Oh, and you MUST obtain new and more expensive auto insurance, too. Mandated vaccinations: I have a slight scar on my shoulder from my obligatory small-pox vaccination from when I was 6 years old, which was required for me to attend school. Many of you have that same “tattoo.” When I attended the University of Parris Island, I stood in line and Navy corpsmen gleefully punctured my arms with umpteen vaccinations. My drill instructor did not seek my opinion and he darned sure did not permit me to “just say no.”

Our government requires all manner of mandates, allegedly denying us our freedoms, but thankfully these have saved countless lives. You might be surprised at how long that mandated list is, and how invisible to your consciousness these requirements have become. We participate automatically — outta sight, outta mind. Folks who recall Edmund Burke, the famous late 18th century member of British Parliament, typically call to mind his most brilliant aphorism, “… it is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph,” or some version thereof often quoted. Perhaps just as insightful are Burke’s thoughts on freedom: “The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.” Current polls show twothirds of Americans oppose State governors’ prohibiting wearing a mask, such as Florida; 77 percent oppose them withholding money from schools where students/fac-

ulty wear life-saving masks. Those misguided governors say they are defending our liberty, at the same time they want us to live without mandates proven to save our lives and punish those who do. Such dribble is not only deranged tripe, but also illegitimate. Recently, a Maine GOP state legislator compared Democrat governors’ immunization mandates to Nazi super-villain Dr. Josef Mengele’s medical experiments on Jews. Give me a break. This is raw insanity and an outrage. The senseless and criminally irresponsible reasons given for not getting Covid-19 vaccinations are clearly delusional, and deadly so. Truth or consequences.

We need to live up to their legacy

ver the past few days, I have had an opportunity to chat with several fellow veterans, service members, military family members, and Gold Star families. It is beyond the obvious in saying that the past few days have been extraordinarily difficult for those with a personal connection to our mission in Afghanistan. My wife Tiffany and I are no different. Earlier this week, a CNN reporter broadcast from a base in Andar, Afghanistan. This was a base that my soldiers and I built, it’s the base where I was wounded in 2006. Seeing it on the screen brought back a lot of memories – good and bad. When we first secured Andar we were using an open space adjacent to the district center compound where I lived with the local Governor to land helicopters. Unbeknownst to us – that open space was a cemetery. One day, an elder approaches me and says you’re landing helicopters in our cemetery, and this is deeply disrespectful. We talked for hours and right as the villagers and the elders were satisfied that we intended no harm and that we had agreed on a new place to land helicopters I heard the distinct sound of a far-off Chinook helicopter. Despite my best efforts to wave them off, two giant Chinooks landed right in front of us in the cemetery, sandblasting the entire group of gathered elders in the process and effectively undoing all the goodwill I had just spent hours building. Of the

JOSEPH REAGAN

847 days I spent serving in Afghanistan, every single one was like that day. A few steps forward, a few steps back. In my conversations with fellow veterans, their memories are about the same. The question that keeps coming up: Was this worth it? Unfortunately, most are having a hard time answering that question. There’s a term for that, Moral Injury. Moral Injury is the mind’s response to actions or memories that are in violation of a person’s values and beliefs – some might say it’s an injury to your soul. For 20 years, the full weight of the War on Terror fell on the shoulders of less than 1 percent of us: 2.7 million Americans voluntarily answered the call to serve, 0.7 percent of the U.S. population to be precise. Of those, 7,057 never came home, and another 30,177 came home only to take their own lives. Since 9/11/01, my generation of veterans has been fortunate to have a grateful nation behind us – I attribute this to our Vietnam and Korean War veterans who after 9/11 were adamant that my generation received a proper welcome home and proper access to care, something many of them never received. Believe me when I say, all of

us appreciate that gratitude – but over the past few days the resounding impression I get from talking to my fellow Veterans is that “thank you for your service” has lost its meaning. Many Veterans have begun to see this as a hollow or superficial gesture, people say it because that’s what you’re supposed to say. Like most Veterans, on my right wrist I wear a silver bracelet, I have a collection of them, but they all look the same. Most people assume it’s a medical alert bracelet, but if you look closely each bracelet is inscribed with the name of a friend or colleague I’ve lost, either to our enemies abroad, or the demons within. I wear the bracelet so that I can read their name, when I shake hands, when I render a salute, when I play with my kids, while I type these words, their names are always with me. Almost every veteran I know does this. We do this because it inspires us, they inspire us. They sacrificed their tomorrow so that we could have our today – and that is not something to be taken lightly. We have an obligation to live up to their legacy, we have an obligation to make those sacrifices matter, and what we’re seeing today should only strengthen our resolve to do so. As we reflect as a nation on the current situation in Afghanistan and on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I think it is more important than ever to remind ourselves of the unity that existed immediately following the 9/11 attacks. On 9/12 there was no doubt

in anyone’s mind that we would prevail, there was no doubt that we were stronger together. Now, 20 years later, we should focus our efforts on those elements that unify us, those elements of our history that make us stronger, those elements that define American exceptionalism.

After Pearl Harbor our entire nation mobilized in support of the war efforts. Everyone made sacrifices in support of our common goal. When the war was over, we quickly made up for lost time. The greatest generation not only secured victory in World War II but they returned

As we reflect as a nation on the current situation in Afghanistan and on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I think it is more important than ever to remind ourselves of the unity that existed immediately following the 9/11 attacks. On 9/12 there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that we would prevail, there was no doubt that we were stronger together.” Pearl Harbor, Sept. 11, whatever the crisis, American’s have always stood up and found a way to overcome any obstacle. Despite the fear, the heartbreak, the anger we’re all experiencing we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our fallen to be good stewards of our democracy, we must live up to their legacy and be good stewards of our communities. As we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, all of us must find a way to serve, we must ensure that the sacrifices made by the 0.7 percent were not in vain.

home to oversee the largest period of economic growth this country has ever seen, and some of the greatest technological advances the world has ever seen. For the greatest generation there was no obstacle that couldn’t be overcome – and today we have the opportunity to harness that same spirit. To the brave men and women who volunteered and to your families, and to the families of the fallen. The sacrifices you made – and your families made – were not in vain. What we are

witnessing today is not our failure, this is not our burden to bear. Having had the privilege of serving alongside so many amazing Americans (and allied service members as well), quite frankly I’m tremendously proud of what you were able to accomplish, and I hope you are too. The fact is you carried more than your fair share – and you are stronger because of it. It’s OK to not be OK right now. Take some time to reconnect with old friends, remind ourselves about that time we were handed a mission, given no resources to execute the mission, and somehow figured out how to make it work. Let's take that problem-solving mindset into our next mission. There's a lot of work to be done – your country and your communities need strong leaders like you to tackle tough problems and solving tough problems is what we do best. Adlai Stevenson II said, “Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.” I can think of no better way to demonstrate our gratitude for the sacrifices of our Service Members, Veterans, and their families than by reaffirming our commitment to service, to each other, to our communities, and to our nation. Joseph Reagan is the Director of Military and Veterans Outreach for Wreaths Across America. He served 8 years on active duty as an officer in the U.S. Army, including two tours to Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division.

Military & Civilian Leadership – A guide for military, civil service, political, and industry leaders

G

iving a superior sound and tactful professional advice, even when you know he or she does not want to hear it is leadership. After you have given your best advice, following all legal, moral, and ethical orders, even when you do not agree with them is leadership. Leading when you can; following when you should; and getting the hell out of the way, when you have nothing to offer is leadership. Learning the language, culture, and customs of a host or partner country (and customer country and your employees) is leadership. A general or admiral who knows the friendly and enemy situation, knows the immediate action (unjam and clear) for his or her rifle, and knows his or her enlisted aides’ first names and family situations is leadership. A private or seaman (or civilian employee) who knows that he or she is in the chain of command and may have to take over when senior in rank is leadership. Knowing that a water truck in the desert is worth more combat power that an extra armored cavalry regiment is leadership. Leadership is not being right all the time, and it is certainly not being wrong most of the time. Leadership is not reluctant to get dirty, hot, cold, or physically tired with his troops (and employees).

LARRY DANDRIDGE

Leadership is not forgetting that the past is our heritage, the present is our challenge, and the future is our responsibility. Leadership knows that combat or tariffs without conscience is not leadership. Leadership is saying no to drugs, not smoking, and not drinking alcohol in excess. Staying in top physical condition is leadership. Displaying knowledge, managing resources efficiently, and planning beyond the immediate requirements of assigned duties is leadership. Creating an organization of mutual respect is leadership. Building an organization and environment where it is not necessary to tell military men and women or employees what to do is leadership. Leadership fixes problems – not blame. Leadership is delegating authority, commanding confidence and respect, and accepting full responsibility for your actions. Leadership is ingenuity, sociability, tact, and tenacity. Leadership is cross training. Leadership is adaptability, appearance, cooperation, and

decisiveness. Good leadership is guiding. Leadership is legendary. Leadership is foresight. Leadership is absorbent, abstinent, and, unfortunately, at times it is abominable. Leadership is baccalaureate, balanced, basic, and too frequently backward and barbaric. Leadership has saved lives, killed, stopped wars, and started wars. Leadership has walked softly and carried a big stick, but it has also been loud and nonviolent. Good leaders know why concentration of combat power is important. A true leader knows about defensein-depth and the advantages our forces have at night, and how to use them. A wise leader knows that young military men and women spend most of their time worrying about and planning tactics, while older more experienced troops and employees spend the majority of their time worrying about and planning logistics. Leadership can be good or bad, centralized or decentralized, warm or cold, offensive or defensive, macro or micro, or expensive or free. Leadership can be Catholic or Protestant, Jewish or Muslim, Hindu or Mormon, or Atheist or Agnostic. Good leaders prevent over mobility of junior leaders and troops, by keeping them in their jobs long enough to learn their jobs and their

common and collective tasks, and to work as team members. Establishing and promoting individual skill certification, team certification, and vendor certification programs and leadership. Leadership provides their troops (and employees/ contractors) with plenty of clean water and hot food. Leadership keeps their troops as comfortable and safe as possible. Leadership keeps their troops clean, supplied, informed, and vaccinated against disease. Leadership keeps military and civilian employees from becoming depressed, harassed, and suicidal. Good military and civilian leaders hope and pray for the best but plan for the worst. Leaders know about the need to wage “total war” to win. Good military and civilian leaders know the special advantage the defender has in cities, mountains, tunnels, and jungles. Good leaders know to not keep Marine and Soldier weapons locked up and away from them, but rather train troops to live

with a clean, safe, and serviceable weapon that they are an expert in. Leadership is embodied in Martin Luther King Jr., Army Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, President Abraham Lincoln, Marine Sgt. John Basilone, Pope John Paul II, Marine aviator Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, Jesus, Moses the Prophet, Roy P. Benavidez, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Navy Seal Michael Mansoor, Mohammed the Prophet, and many other well-known figures. Leaders also know that hundreds of thousands of the unknowns like Bubba Segrest, Dan Hickman, and Sam DeLoach are excellent leaders. Leadership is not lying to, bullying, or attacking anyone who does not agree with you. Leadership does not abusively and unresponsively use social media to attack, threaten, or insult others. Using a lie or half-truth over and over again is not leadership. Good leaders know the United States must always

have a foreign policy that is constant in purpose and flexible in means. They also know to continue to support its allies, like Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, NATO, South Korea, and Israel, but America must end these huge blunders like sending huge armies to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, especially when Special Forces, Special Operations, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and State Department efforts are more likely to provide long run favorable results. Good leaders also know that every hate filled group in the Middle East is seeking to focus their venom on us and the rest of the Western World, but as Rudyard Kipling warned (paraphrasing) – “A tombstone awaits westerners with the epitaph carved on it that says, ‘A fool lies here who tries to hustle the East (and South West Asia)!’” To be continued next week.

Mask for me! #maskup4kids

W

e are the pediatricians of South Carolina, and we believe the best way to protect young children from COVID-19 is to mask and vaccinate everyone who is eligible. This recommendation is based on practical and proven ways to reduce the spread of a dangerous virus. In a time when misinformation is more contagious than COVID, here are some facts from the people you trust to care for your children: • Children below vaccination age should be in masks when inside and in close proximity with others, including in schools and on buses.

• In a non-household group of both vaccinated and unvaccinated children (and/or adults), everyone should be masked when in close proximity. • We recommend COVID-19 vaccinations for children age 12 and older and also for parents, grandparents, teachers, and everyone who interacts with young children.

• Despite public perception, anyone can be infected with COVID, including newborns, children, teens and young adults. It is not just an “old person’s” disease. Vaccination for eligible children and adults and masking greatly reduce risks of transmitting the highly contagious Delta variant. • The risk of death from COVID among children is low; however, it can cause serious disease and long-term adverse health effects.

• We believe safe, in-person learning is best for children. Scientific studies demonstrate that masking does not cause negative effects on mental health or learning. • Universal masking for children in schools provides maximum protection from infection. This is especially important now when children under 12 cannot be vaccinated, the large majority of older children have not been vaccinated, and infection rates are increasing rapidly.

• Our position on masks and vaccines is also supported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Masks and vaccines help protect your children. When it comes to your child’s health, don’t rely on Facebook, TikTok or YouTube for advice. Ask a healthcare expert who knows you and your child — your pediatrician. A public service message from the

Starts September 12 & 15 If you are looking for more in your life, if you are searching, if you would like to grow closer to Jesus or learn more about the Catholic faith… ENCOUNTER is for you!

We will have weekly gatherings beginning September 12 and 15. Participants can attend either on Sunday afternoons (noon to 2) or on Wednesday evenings (6:30 to 8:30).

Encounter is a six-part series offered by Saint Peter’s Catholic Church to all in our community, introducing the beauty of Jesus, faith, and his Church family.

Each gathering starts with a meal and time of fellowship, followed by a presentation on that week’s topic, and concluding with a short time of Scripture and prayer.

All are welcome! There is no cost, and free childcare is available. The gatherings will be held in our social hall in a casual atmosphere.

You are free to just show up, or if you would like more information, contact Leslie at 843-522-6512 or parishlife@stpetersbeaufort.org.
