Mayoral election proves Stewart has another hat — influencer

W

BEAUFORT as last week’s municipal election results indicative of an anti-Dick Stewart vote?

Some of the 1,218 voters who cast their ballot for the winner, Phil Cromer, probably thought so.

It’s certainly likely that some of those voters were influenced by campaign tactics such as the five pages of incendiary verbiage paid for by Graham Trask in the pages of The Island News, leading up to the election. Ads with phrases like “Do you want Beaufort to be run by Dick Stewart” or “Want to Destroy Historic Downtown Beaufort?” most certainly had higher readership than the smaller ads paid for by the candidates themselves.

Dick Interestingly Stewart enough, the name the 303 Associates’ retired CEO and (still) major developer in Beaufort and Port Royal really didn’t come up in the single debate held between the two candidates or in the published interviews that were designed to educate voters. Stewart, as he has always done, was just “out there,” influencing people’s thoughts on how the area is developing and what they can expect to see.

The backstory: Phil Cromer and Mike Sutton, both former members of Beaufort City Council, offered their services to run for mayor after former Mayor Stephen Murray resigned in September following a bitter fight with the Historic Beaufort Foundation and citizens concerned about the focus of City Council, especially in terms of historic preservation.

Both men offered excellent credentials for the job, and after the

‘A perfect storm’

Beaufort, Bluffton urge Gov. McMaster to take action on shrimp dumping

By Jessica Wade The Post And Courier The city of Beaufort and the Town of Bluffton recently became the third and fourth coastal municipalities to call for the declaration of an economic disaster due to the dumping of imported shrimp into local markets.

The actions speak to a statewide concern. Fishermen warn that limited resources and an inundated market have created a “perfect storm” that without intervention could tear apart South Carolina’s shrimping industry.

On Dec. 12, Beaufort and Bluffton joined Mount Pleasant and McClellanville in urging Gov. Henry McMaster to declare an economic disaster due to the dumping of imported shrimp.

Port Royal town manager Van Willis said officials there are planning to take a similar action in January.

The declaration would allow for the U.S. Department of Commerce to determine if controls should be imposed on imported shrimp and could open financial assistance for South Carolina shrimpers.

Brandon Charochak, a spokesman for McMaster, said the governor is exploring the possibility of an emergency declaration.

“Gov. McMaster recognizes that South Carolina’s shrimping industry is a vital part of our economy, and he is currently exploring all avenues with state and federal partners to determine if such a declaration is possible,” Charochak said.

Shrimp dumping occurs when imported, farm-raised shrimp oversaturate the local market. It’s an issue

Shrimp boat “Palmetto Pride” sails past the Beaufort waterfront during the Blessing of the Fleet and Parade of Boats on the final day of the 66th annual Beaufort Water Festival, July 24, 2022. File/The Post And Courier Beaufort fisherman Craig Reaves has seen for decades, but one that he says has grown in recent years.

A shift in supply coincided with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply of foreign shrimp entering the U.S. market exceeded demand at that that time, Reaves said. The price for shrimp fell as a result, hurting local shrimpers in the process.

The Southern Shrimp Alliance estimates that U.S. imports of frozen, warmwater shrimp nearly doubled from 2013 to 2021 to an

unprecedented level of 1.8 billion pounds.

The shrimp dumping compounds other struggles within the industry, including a loss of waterfront property, increasingly expensive equipment and an aging workforce.

“All of that has made for a perfect storm,” Reaves said.

The 52-year-old fisherman described the industry’s current reality in a letter to the Beaufort City Council.

“Beaufort and the sea islands have such a rich history, the ocean and the waterways provide not only food,

but jobs,” Reaves wrote. “I would say the number one detrimental issue commercial fishermen are facing currently is import dumping.”

The fight against shrimp dumping isn’t new. Reaves recalls the issue coming to a head for the first time in the late 1990s with legal proceedings spilling into the early 2000s.

Major progress was made in 2004 when the International Trade Commission confirmed that the industry was injured by illegally dumped shrimp imports

from six countries. An investigation found that foreign producers were selling below their own cost of production, and new tariffs soon followed.

The outcome was a win, but not a solution to the problem, Reaves said.

And the fight continues.

Earlier this year, the American Shrimp Processors Association submitted a petition to the Trade Commission to investigate whether imported shrimp is sold at less than fair value in the U.S. and illegally subsidized by foreign governments.

The commission voted to investigate frozen warmwater shrimp imports from Ecuador, India, Indonesia and Vietnam to determine whether the U.S. should implement antidumping duties.

Ultimately, consumers hold a lot of the power in determining the outcome of local markets, Reaves said.

“I think the only way we change this is if it’s consumer driven. So if we educate our consumers and they stop buying the imported, it will raise the demand for local,” Reaves said.

Bryan Jones, a first-generation shrimper and vice president of the S.C. Shrimpers Association, noted during Bluffton’s Town Council meeting that the reason consumers buy imported shrimp is because it’s significantly cheaper.

For the market to even out as intended, there will be price increases, Jones said.

“We want to have some price parity and some level playing field,” Jones said.

“With the shrimp dumping in the market they’re depressing the prices. It’s putting our shrimpers out of business.”

Dolphin found in Port Royal died from unusual cause

By Delayna Earley The Island News A dead bottlenose dolphin found in Port Royal in early December appears to have died from a rare deformity.

The 6.5-foot-long subadult male dolphin was found by researchers from the University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) on Tuesday, Dec. 5 as they were photographing a pod of dolphins for one of their surveys.

The dolphin was located near the mouth of the Colleton River floating belly up.

A subadult dolphin is somewhere between 8 and 12 years old.

Alyssa Marian with USCB reported the dolphin to the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network (LMMN) out of Charleston, S.C., which came to retrieve the body.

“This was the first time that I have come across a dead dolphin since I’ve been here,” Marian said. “It was just luck that we

found him.”

Lauren Rust, state coordinator for the LMMN, along with Nicole Principe, Marine Mammal Stranding Technician, and volunteer Nora Futrell conducted a necropsy on the deceased animal and found that the dolphin had a whole fish lodged in its trachea.

Rust said that while it is not unheard of for a dolphin to choke on a fish that is too large, it is unusual to find a fish in the trachea – the pathway for air – instead of the esophagus – pathway for food.

Dolphins have an epiglottic spout or goose beak, which is a “cartilaginous structure supported by muscles and connective tissue” – like the epiglottis in humans – that helps to keep food and liquid from entering the lungs.

“Basically, it is similar to when we swallow something and it ‘goes down the wrong tube,’” said Rust.

During the necropsy, the dolphin’s goose beak was removed

It isn’t completely clear what type of fish killed the dolphin, but Rust thinks it is possibly a Southern Kingfish.

Rust said that while it is very sad anytime an animal dies, she was glad that this death was not human related, and it provided for an interesting case and educational experience.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Rust said about the condition of the dolphin.

housing to major shopping centers.

It’s a given that Beaufort and Port Royal are growing, thanks in part to the extensive advertising campaigns that promote our environmental beauty and encourage folks to visit, folks with money who then decide to buy houses here. And residents angry with the changes want someone to blame, so why not the developer of a planned three-story hotel with a rooftop bar, a four-story parking garage and a three-story apartment complex, all within the heart of the historic downtown?

To his credit, Stewart worked with USCB to provide the Boundary Street dormitories for students,

helped finance the Port Royal Sound Foundation Maritime Center, brought new life to the Beaufort Plaza, established the Freedman Arts District and is co-chairman of the Beaufort-Jasper Housing Trust trying to come up with solutions for the area’s affordable housing shortages.

Stewart, who served as an elected official himself on Beaufort County Council in 2003, seems to prefer his new role as John Q. Citizen, although his influence in area development issues, as highlighted by the Chamber of Commerce’s recent CIVITAS award, given out right before the Chamber director announced his resignation, is obvious.

That influence was demonstrated last week at the city’s Historic Review Board meeting, one day after the election, when Stewart’s Freedman Artists District was on the agenda with a request to demolish two circa-1910 freedman’s cottages that they considered too expensive to repair enough to meet city codes.

The HRB agreed to give the owners of the property 60 days to come up with a funding plan to accomplish the repairs, specifically approaching the Historic Beaufort Foundation.

Stewart didn’t leave the meeting with what he requested but he put the issue of restoring deteriorating historic buildings squarely in the hands of the

HBF. He definitely influenced that discussion.

Headlines in two of the past four The Island News’ front page stories used the same word – “change” – to describe the election of Phillips in Port Royal and Cromer, in the city. Will there be changes under new leadership? That remains to be seen.

with The Salvation Army has been an effective way for the nonprofit organization to make money to help those in need since the late 1800s, when Salvation Army Capt.

While donations to the organization, even anonymous

ones, are not unheard of, they are the first in the Carolinas to receive a gold coin donation, according to Long.

The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle program will continue in the Lowcountry until Dec. 23, and you can find them at most local Walmart stores and Sam’s Club – it just depends on how many bell ringer volunteers they have.

How much cash should I have on hand?

Provided by Wells Fargo “How much cash should I have now?” It seems like a simple question, but the answer can be complicated — especially in times of market volatility. Apart from an emergency fund, the amount of cash or liquid assets you need depends on many factors, including the current state of the market and major life events.

“There isn’t really a general rule in terms of a number,” says Michael Taylor, CFA, Vice President – Investment Strategy Analyst at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. “We do say it shouldn’t be more than maybe 10% of your overall portfolio or maybe three to six months’ worth of living expenses.”

Taylor notes that the number could change depending on what’s going on in the economy and markets. “You should make sure your emergency fund and cash reserves can meet your current needs,” he says.

Taylor shares five events that should prompt a conversation with your financial advisor about how much cash to have on hand.

1. When the market is in flux

The state of the market can have an impact on how much cash you should have on hand, how long you decide to hold an asset as cash, or when to convert assets to cash. This can be

especially true when you foresee a large discretionary purchase such as a vacation home or a luxury vehicle.

“Plan for those purchases or defer them so you don’t have to liquidate assets at a loss during market uncertainty,” Taylor says.

2. When your job status may change

If you’re contemplating a career move such as starting a business, retiring soon, or facing a possible layoff, consider meeting with your financial advisor. “If you don’t have enough cash on hand during those transition periods, you might have to dip into an investment account or sell a stock at an inopportune time,” Taylor says. “That means you could end up losing money when you can least afford it.”

3. When your marital status is about to change

Getting married or paying for a wedding?

According to “The Knot 2021 Real Weddings Study,” on average in 2021, couples spent $34,000 total on their wedding, including ceremony, reception and engagement ring.

SC candidates could use campaign donations for childcare under proposal

By Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — In an effort to get more women and other caregivers in office, a South Carolina legislator proposes letting campaign donations pay for childcare.

If the proposal passes, South Carolina would join 30 other states that allow candidates and sitting politicians to draw from campaign funds for childcare, according to Vote Mama Foundation, a national nonprofit founded in New York and focused on eliminating barriers to mothers running for office. Candidates for federal government have been able to use campaign money on childcare since 2018.

Rep. Spencer Wetmore, a Folly Beach Democrat, started running for office in 2020 when her daughter was 4 years old. She was lucky to have family nearby to watch her daughter when she and her husband were at events or knocking on doors, she said.

“A lot of people don’t have the luxury of sending their kids to their grandparents’ house,” Wetmore told the S.C. Daily Gazette on Monday, Dec. 18.

In February, the House Ethics Committee decided that chamber’s members and candidates seeking their seats could draw from campaign funds to pay for childcare.

Wetmore’s proposal would put that decision in state law, extending the committee’s interpretation for the House to anyone occupying or running for elected office at any level of government.

The proposal, pre-filed for the

State Rep. Spencer Wetmore, D-Folly Beach, campaigns with her daughter, Lola Kate Wetmore, and husband, Burns Malone Wetmore, in 2020. Spencer Wetmore is proposing a law change that would allow candidates to use campaign funds to pay for childcare. Photo courtesy of Spencer Wetmore session that resumes next month, would cover childcare costs only for time spent campaigning or serving in office. It’s similar to existing laws, which allow candidates to use funds raised while campaigning to cover expenses like travel and meals.

Wetmore’s goal with this proposal is to make it easier for people to afford to send their kids to daycare or after-school programs while they campaign or, if elected, spend their days in the Statehouse, she said.

“The most important thing for me is to bring new voices to the table,” Wetmore said.

While the law would apply to anyone running for office, the burden of childcare more frequently falls on women, meaning this proposal could help shift that number, said Kelli Parker, spokesperson for the Columbia-based Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network.

“Electing more women is just good politics,” Parker said.

Only about 2% of South Caroli-

na’s legislators in 2022 were women with children under the age of 18, a Vote Mama Foundation study found.

Historically, the Palmetto State has ranked among the nation’s worst in terms of female representation in the Legislature. In 2023, women made up 14.7% of the 170 people in South Carolina’s Legislature, with five in the Senate and 20 in the House, according to Rutgers’ Center for American Women and Politics. Only Mississippi and West Virginia had a smaller per-

centage of women in their Statehouses.

South Carolina ranked last nationwide from 2003 to 2012, the last four of those years without a single female state senator.

People who care for a relative with a disability or other medical condition would also be allowed to use campaign funds to hire help for that person while campaigning or sitting in office as well. For example, someone caring for an elderly parent would be able to use money they raised while campaigning to make other arrangements.

“By allowing candidates to use their campaign funds to cover both childcare and dependent care expenses, South Carolina can galvanize people who may have never considered running for office before,” Vote Mama Foundation said in the news release.

Under new SC rule companies must say whether waste includes forever chemicals

By Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — Companies and wastewater treatment plants must disclose whether the waste they discharge into bodies of water contains toxic “forever chemicals” under a new South Carolina rule announced Tuesday, Dec. 12.

“The more data we collect and understand from the possible sources will result in better informed decisions,” by the Department of Health and Environmental Control, agency spokesman Ron Aiken said in a statement.

Any industrial facility or

wastewater treatment plant dumping pollutants into state waterways is required to get a permit. To get one, the company must say what’s in the waste. But per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often called PFAS or forever chemicals, were not included in that disclosure.

After environmental groups pushed back, the agency added the chemicals to the list in September. The change will allow the state to hold companies and utilities accountable for dumping large quantities of forever chemicals into state rivers,

Southern Law Center attorney Carl Brzorad said in a news release.

“Industrial polluters should not be allowed to poison rivers behind a veil of secrecy,” Brzorad said. “We’re heartened to see DHEC start to peel back the veil.”

The change comes as the federal Environmental Protection Agency considers regulations that would limit the amount of the chemicals allowed in drinking water.

The agency has yet to finalize the rule, which it proposed in March.

Most often found in fast

food wrappers and non-stick coatings on pots and pans, forever chemicals can cause cancer and other long-term health problems in people exposed to them over long periods of time. For example, a person drinking two liters of contaminated water every day for 70 years would be at risk of related health issues, state environmental officials have said.

About 20% of people’s exposure to the chemicals comes from drinking water, according to the state environmental agency. The remaining 80% comes from

day-to-day products such as cosmetics and cookware.

Wastewater facilities will also be required to disclose whether waste spread on land, often known as sludge, contains forever chemicals.

The sludge can harm farmland, and rain can wash the chemicals into nearby water sources.

The amount of forever chemicals in water sources varies across the state. Water sources near military bases tend to have higher concentrations because the bases often use firefighting foam made using the chemicals.

State testing done in 2020 and 2021 found that 47% of the state’s surface water treatment plants, which draw from lakes, streams and rivers, had higher levels of the chemicals than would be allowed under the proposed federal guidelines. Only around 8% of the groundwater treatment plants were over the limit, the state environmental agency found.

Doctor: Gov. McMaster’s outpatient heart procedure a success

By Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — Gov. Henry McMaster has returned to a normal work schedule following a successful outpatient procedure to fix his irregular heartbeat.

The 76-year-old governor was under anesthesia for less than two hours for the non-invasive, elective procedure. No emergencies arose during that time, meaning Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette did not have to take any executive action, according to the governor’s office.

McMaster was back at

home Friday afternoon at the Governor’s Mansion and returned to his normal work schedule Saturday.

McMaster’s cardiologist discovered and initially treated the irregularity in April 2022. McMaster was preparing for a minor knee surgery to fix a tear in his meniscus caused during a game of tennis with his wife when the doctor noticed his heartbeat was irregular, The Associated Press reported at the time.

The condition, known as atrial fibrillation or AFib, happens when the heart’s upper chambers beat out of

sync with the lower chambers. This can cause blood clots, as well as increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other complications, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Amy Rawl Epps, the governor’s cardiologist, described the procedure as “very successful and uncomplicated.”

“He is recovering well,” Epps said in a statement.

Congress passed a massive military package

What’s in it for SC?

By Abaraham Kenmore SCDailyGazette.com Military service members are set to receive their largest pay increase since 2002 in the $884 billion annual defense package on its way to President Joe Biden.

For the more than 33,000 active-duty military members in South Carolina and hundreds of thousands of others across the world, the 5.2% pay increase is just part of the benefit changes aimed at making life more affordable. The pay raise also applies to civilians working for the Department of Defense.

Quality of life for troops Changes in the bill include allowing the Secretary of Defense to pay bonuses to enlisted service members under the rank of E-6 (sergeant and below in the Army), depending on economic conditions.

It also lets the military calculate gross income without including a service member’s basic housing allowance when determining financial assistance. And it allows junior enlisted members to receive a basic housing allowance based on the same criteria as other ranks.

SC pursues contract with Starlink to provide high-speed internet to remote areas

By Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette COLUMBIA — Rural areas in South Carolina could get high-speed internet from outer space through Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The state’s Broadband Office is pursuing a $3 million contract with the spaceflight company’s internet division Starlink, according to a notice on the state’s procurement website.

The company provides high-speed internet worldwide through devices that communicate with more than 5,000 satellites orbiting the Earth. The small sat-

ellites travel in what’s called low Earth orbit, though it’s still far out there — about 342 miles up.

As of March, more than 190,000 homes in South Carolina still lacked access to high-speed internet. Projects funded since are projected to bring that down to less than 134,000 by the end of December, according to the state Broadband Office.

The state has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, mostly from federal aid packages, into expanding internet access in rural counties and pockets state-

wide without broadband.

Lawmakers in both parties call the effort vital for providing education, health care and job opportunities statewide. The COVID pandemic, which temporary closed classrooms and required people to work remotely, highlighted the need.

The proposed contract would reserve up to 1,000 Starlink satellite dishes for South Carolina, at the cost of about $3,000 per home.

The agreement would move the state to the front of the line to get this internet service, though the exact

timeline is unclear. A representative of the broadband office declined to comment until the contract is in place.

While Starlink’s internet is not as fast as fiber-optic, it is much faster than other satellite internet services, and it’s easier to install in remote areas than fiber-optic cables, broadband office Director Jim Stritzinger told a committee in April 2022.

That means Starlink would be easier to install on properties like large farms, where either the location or property itself makes it difficult to install fiber, Stritzinger told the committee. The

small, rectangular devices can sit either on roofs or in yards, where they rotate to track the orbit of Starlink’s satellites.

This wouldn’t be the agency’s first venture with Starlink’s services. In 2022, the Broadband Office partnered with the Department of Education to buy and install 20 Starlink transceivers as part of a pilot project to bring high-speed internet to the homes of students in seven rural school districts.

The pilot cost about $60,000, which covered a yearlong subscription to the service and installation

costs. That was paid from federal COVID-19 aid.

The state Legislature set aside $400 million of federal COVID-19 recovery funds in May 2022 to expand broadband across the state. On top of that, the federal government chipped in more than $551 million as part of the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program.

SC council taking feedback on ways to expand access to healthy food in poor communities

By Abraham Kenmore SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — Expanding a farmers market program for seniors and finding more nonprofits to host summer meals for children are among recommendations for increasing South Carolinians’ access to affordable, nutritious food.

The South Carolina Food Security Council approved 15 recommendations Tuesday, Dec. 19 to

release for public comment for a report due to the Legislature at the end of January.

Others involved increasing eligibility for food benefit programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, what used to be known as food stamps. More modest suggestions included creating a comprehensive map of grocery stores and socalled food deserts in South Caro-

lina where affordable, healthy food is limited.

As of November, about 588,000 South Carolinians in more than 281,000 households received SNAP food benefits, according to the state Department of Social Services.

The temporary eight-member council — made up of representatives of various education, foodand health-related state agencies

— was created by the Legislature as part of the budget package approved last summer. The group was tasked with examining existing programs addressing food insecurity, identifying gaps and suggesting ways to bridge them.

A budget clause directs the group to provide the Legislature a list of recommendations by January 31, after which the group will dissolve.

Go to scdhec.gov/fsc for more information. The public comment period will close Jan. 2. The council expects to hold two more meetings in January before sending its report to the Legislature.

Taste, or gustation, is one of our most robust senses. Although there is a small decline in taste in people over 60, most older people will not notice it because normal aging does not greatly affect our sense of taste. Problems with taste occur less frequently than problems with smell.

Problems with taste

How Our Sense of Taste Works

Our sense of taste, along with our sense of smell, is part of our chemical sensing system. Normal taste occurs when tiny molecules released by chewing or the digestion of food stimulate special sensory cells in the mouth and throat. These taste cells, or gustatory cells, send messages through three specialized taste nerves to the brain, where specific tastes are identified. Damage to these nerves following head injury can lead to taste loss.

The taste cells are clustered within the taste buds of the tongue and roof of the mouth, and along the lining of the throat. Many of the small bumps that can be seen on the tip of the tongue contain taste buds. At birth, we have about 10,000 taste buds scattered on the back, sides, and tip of the tongue.

After age 50, we may start to lose taste buds.

Five Taste Sensations

Umami is the taste we get from glutamate, a building block of protein found in chicken broth, meat stock, and some cheeses. Umami is also the taste associated with MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is often added to foods as a flavor enhancer.

The five taste qualities combine with other oral sensations, such as texture, spiciness, temperature, and aroma to produce what is commonly referred to as flavor. It is flavor that lets us know whether we are eating an apple or a pear.

Flavors and the Sense of Smell

Many people are surprised to We can experience five basic learn that we recognize flavors taste sensations: sweet, sour, bit- largely through our sense of smell. ter, salty, and umami, or savory. Try holding your nose while eat-

Psychologists have suggested that color impression can account for 60 percent of the acceptance or rejection of a product or service.

Color is the first thing noticed and the last thing forgotten. Similarly, the colors you choose to wear, or with which you decorate your home, can affect your mood.

So, choosing the right palette can be important.

But choosing color for a home is often one of the more intimidating steps for beginners. Largely it’s not important to follow trends— they will come and go.

Rather, choose colors that reflect your likes and personality and blend these colors together into a scheme that works.

When selecting colors, remember that each has a specific psychological value. A color can make a person feel everything from rage to tranquility. Therefore, using a high-energy color in a place that is meant for relaxation could have a negative effect.

ing chocolate. You will be able to distinguish between its sweetness and bitterness, but you can't identify the chocolate flavor. That's because the distinguishing characteristic of chocolate is largely identified by our sense of smell as aromas are released during chewing. Food flavor is affected by a head cold or nasal congestion because the aroma of food does not reach the sensory cells that detect odors.

Smell and Taste Closely Linked

Smell and taste are closely linked senses. Many people mistakenly believe they have a problem with taste when they are really experiencing a problem with smell. It is common for people

While different shades of color hues may evoke different feelings in people and could be representative of different cultures around the world (white is used for weddings in Western societies but for funerals among traditional Chinese), in general these basic colors typically represent the following: • Blue: Warm blues, such as periwinkle and turquoise have a calming effect when used as the room’s main colors. This makes them perfect for bathrooms and bedrooms. Very dark blues can cause feelings of sadness, while very light blues may come off as sterile or institutional.

Darker blues are also seen as the “authority” color. People may associate them with business or law enforcement. Blue is the No. 1 choice of corporate America.

• Purple: Light purples, such as lavender, can be restful like blues, but run

less risk of seeming cold or sterile. Darker purples appear opulent and can provide depth as a secondary color. They are also mysterious and lend themselves well to creative spaces.

• Red: Reds have been shown to raise blood pressure and heart rate.

They stir up excitement and energy in a room.

When Taste is Impaired

Problems with taste can have a big impact on an older person's life.

Because taste affects the amount and type of food we eat, when there are problems with taste, a person may change his or her eating habits. Some people may eat too much and gain weight, while others may eat too little and lose weight. A loss of appetite, especially in older adults, can lead to loss of weight,

Taste Problems Are Often Temporary

When an older person has a problem with taste, it is often temporary and minor. True taste disorders are uncommon. When a problem with taste exists, it is usually caused by medications, disease, some cancer treatments, or injury.

Many older people believe that there is nothing they can do about their weakened sense of taste. If you think you have a problem with your sense of taste, see your doctor.

Depending on the cause of your problem, your doctor may be able to suggest ways to regain your sense of taste or to cope with the loss of taste.

who lose their sense of smell to say that food has lost its taste. This is incorrect; the food has lost its aroma, but taste remains. In older people, there is a normal decline in the sense of smell and the taste of food shifts toward blandness. This is why people often believe they have a taste problem.

poor nutrition, weakened immunity, and even death.

Taste helps us detect spoiled food or liquids and it also helps some people detect ingredients they are allergic to. A problem with taste can weaken or remove an early warning system that most of us take for granted.

A distorted sense of taste can be a serious risk factor for illnesses that require sticking to a specific diet. Loss of taste can cause us to eat too much sugar or salt to make our food taste better. This can be a problem for people with such illnesses as diabetes or high blood pressure. In severe cases, loss of taste can lead to depression.

Hugs and cuddles have long-term effects

Love and affection can have many positive effects, both mental and physical, that have been linked to the hormone oxytocin. And, it certainly can’t hurt to follow the advice the research suggests.

How often do you hug? Do you like to sit close and hold each other’s hands? Research shows it’s good for your health. Between loving partners, between parents and children, or even between close friends, physical affection can help the brain, the heart and other body systems you might never have imagined.

For centuries, artists have examined love through poetry, painting, music, and countless other arts. There is definitely a chemistry and biology of love.

At the center of how our bodies respond to love and affection is a hormone called oxytocin. Most of our oxytocin is made in the area of the brain called the hypothalamus. Some is released into our bloodstream, but much of its effect is thought to reside in the brain.

Oxytocin makes us feel good when we’re close to family and other loved ones, including pets.

It does this by acting through what scientists call the dopamine reward system. Dopamine is a brain chemical that plays a crucial part in how we perceive pleasure.

Many drugs of abuse act through this system. Problems with the system can lead to serious depression and other mental illness.

Oxytocin does more than make

Hormone: A molecule sent through the bloodstream to signal another part of the body to grow or react a certain way.

us feel good. It lowers the levels of stress hormones in the body, reducing blood pressure, improving mood, increasing tolerance for pain, and perhaps even speeding how fast wounds heal. It also seems to play an important role in our relationships. It’s been linked, for example, to how much we trust others.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studied oxytocin in married couples and those permanently living together. Researchers in-

vited couples into the laboratory and asked them to spend at least ten minutes holding hands and talking together about a happy memory, usually about how they met and fell in love.

What they were trying to do in a lab situation was to recreate some of the experiences in real life where they felt close.

The couples then had their blood drawn and filled out a questionnaire about the quality of their relationship. When the researchers compared their responses

to the levels of oxytocin in their blood, they found that people who have a more positive relationship with their partner have higher levels of oxytocin.

One thing Researchers can say with certainty is that physical contact affects oxytocin levels. People who get lots of hugs and other warm contact at home tend to have the highest levels of oxytocin in the laboratory. It is believed that frequent warm contact may somehow prime the oxytocin system and make it quicker to turn

Eye color around the world

Pigment determines eye color, and a number of genes influence pigment.

Brown is the most common eye color worldwide by a large majority.

What is eye color? The iris is the name of the colored part of the eye. The iris surrounds the pupil, which is the small black hole in the middle of the eye that helps control how much light enters it.

What determines eye color? Scientists used to think that eye color linked to just one gene and that brown eyes were dominant over blue eyes.

They now know that what determines eye color is more complex. As many as 16 genes influence eye color by determining the amount of melanin inside the specialized cells of the iris. Most of these genes play a role in the production, transportation, or storage of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for eye color.

Melanin is a brown pigment that determines the color not only of someone’s eyes but also of their hair and skin. Eyes that are not brown do not have different color pigments. Instead,

on whenever there’s warm contact, even in a laboratory.

The same holds true for mothers and infants: they both produce higher levels of oxytocin when they have lots of warm contact with each other. Women who hold their babies more at home have higher responses when they hold their baby in the lab.

Much of what we know about oxytocin has come from research in animals. Other mother mammals, for instance, can stimulate oxytocin in their young by licking and grooming them. This loving care has long-term effects.

Most of us are genetically programmed to form social bonds.

But the ability to form close bonds is shaped by early experiences. In the end, a complex interaction of genes and experience makes some people form social bonds more easily than others.

We may not yet fully understand how love and affection develop between people—or how love affects our health—but research is giving us some guidance.

Give those you love all the affection you can. It can’t hurt, and it may bring a bounty of health benefits.

they absorb less light because they have less melanin. As a result, they scatter more light, reflecting it along the spectrum of light color.

An iris with the least melanin will appear blue. Those with a little more melanin will appear green or hazel, for example.

Eye color around the world. Globally, brown is the most common eye color.

Scientists believe that it was the only eye color up until about 10,000 years ago.

The second most common color is blue, but peo-

People with red or violet eyes have little or no melanin in their irises.

Some people have eyes that are different colors than each other (Heterochromia).

We are different—but we all have eyes, differences in color notwithstanding. Use them to see and promote goodness.

EDUCATION

Beaufort’s Rodriguez named 2023 Superintendent to Watch by NSPRA

From staff reports Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez has been selected as a 2023 Superintendent to Watch by the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA).

Rodriguez joins just 24 other superintendents nationwide who were selected for the honor in recognition of their innovative and effective use of technology to engage and inform the school community, and to expand two-way communication and outreach efforts.

“It’s an honor to receive this recognition,” Rodriguez said in a news release. “The power of effective communication and engagement

cannot be understated.

It has been, and will continue to be, a top-priority for the disFrank trict, and it’s Rodriguez one of my favorite parts of serving the citizens of Beaufort County.”

As BCSD's "Proud Superintendent," Rodriguez's innovative approach includes bilingual robocalls to families and employees and strategic district social media outreach, reaching more than 1.2 million people on Facebook alone this year. In addition to the successful 2019 $344 million referendum, the 2023 $439 million

referendum received overwhelming support from Beaufort County citizens, reflecting Rodriguez's ability to educate and inform the public.

Beyond digital outreach, Rodriguez actively connects with the community (with more than 75 speaking engagements this year), grants numerous media interviews, and champions robust communication efforts. His commitment extends to classroom involvement, where he showcases effective instructional practices, emphasizing support for educators through participation in Teacher Forum and Teacher Advisory meetings.

Furthermore, his dedica-

tion to fostering leadership is evident in initiatives like the Aspiring Principal Institute, promoting growth and excellence among future school leaders.

Under Rodriguez's leadership, the district launched BCSD Connected, an online engagement platform allowing stakeholders to contribute input on various projects.

In 2022, a comprehensive digital strategy unfolded with the introduction of new district and school websites, reinforcing the goal of providing timely and accurate communications for BCSD families and the community.

Looking ahead, a forthcoming rebrand strategy, shaped by community in-

put, aims to position BCSD prominently in South Carolina's public education landscape, reflecting the district's defining spirit and resonating with future generations. Dr. Rodriguez stands not only as a superintendent overseeing the district but as a genuine role model and accessible leader, meeting regularly with student advisory groups to address concerns and innovative ideas.

“This year’s honorees understand the critical role that effective, two-way communication plays in building trust with students, families, employees and community members,” said NSPRA Executive Director Barbara M. Hunter, APR. “Each of

these leaders have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to championing innovative communication strategies to advance their district’s success.”

NSPRA had a record number of nominations this year — more than 70 — and many exceptional candidates, making the selection process very competitive.

Since the 2015-16 school year, NSPRA has recognized 152 school district leaders as Superintendents to Watch.

Honorees must have fewer than five years of experience as a superintendent and demonstrate dynamic, fast-paced leadership with strong communication at its core.

Most graduates then go on to work in many of those same clinical sites right here in the Lowcountry, nursing instructor Ashley Turbeville said in a release.

“Our graduates are entering the workforce to fill much-needed critical nursing positions,” she said.

“While we will see many of them working in traditional hospital settings, we will also see our graduates exploring employment opportunities in various outpatient roles.”

Regardless of where they go to work, TCL nurses are dedicated and “passionate about improving access to healthcare,” Turbeville said.

USC approves designs for new medical school

By Jessica Holdman SCDaiyGazette.com COLUMBIA — University of South Carolina leadership signed off Tuesday, Dec. 19 on architectural designs for its new $300 million School of Medicine building.

USC has billed the medical school as having “a transformational impact on health science research and health care delivery in the state of South Carolina.”

The health care campus marks the largest high-dollar project undertaken at any South Carolina public college. The university previously set aside money to cover one-third of the cost, it received about onethird of the necessary funding from the state legislature, and it will take on bond debt to finance the final third.

Construction will begin in 2025 and is expected to be fully completed in 2027.

The 308,000 square-foot building will house classrooms, medical simulation spaces, a health sciences library, labs and

a cafe. USC will also have space for its proposed Brain Health Center, focused on research surrounding dementia and developmental disorders.

Future plans include up to four additional buildings on the 16-acre site within Columbia’s BullStreet District, a massive redevelopment project of the former site of the S.C. Department of Mental Health.

The move comes as the USC School of Medicine’s lease with the Department of Veteran Affairs for its current Garners Ferry Road site ends in 2030. The Garners Ferry building, which dates to the 1930s, needs $75 million in improvements, university officials have previously estimated.

The VA hospital also needs the space for its own expanding operations.

TCL receives Silver Award for Veteran Friendly Institution School is first technical college in state to receive designation

From staff reports The Technical College of the Lowcountry has been recognized by the S.C. Department of Veterans Affairs (SCDVA) with a silver-grade recognition as part of its Military Academic Recognition Program.

SCDVA representatives presented the award at a special event held Dec. 6 at TCL’s Military & Veterans Resource Center on the college’s historic Beaufort Mather Campus.

TCL is the first technical college in the state to receive an SCDVA military academic award designation, officials said at Wednesday’s presentation, signaling that the community college is a “South Carolina Veteran Friendly Higher Education Institution.” The college joins the ranks of other higher education institutions such as Clemson and USC to have received an SCDVA designation.

“We are very proud of our military students,” TCL President Dr. Richard Gough said upon accepting the award for the college.

“Veterans, their families and dependents, are a significant part of our college, our culture and part of our heart, so it’s really important to us that we have these programs in place and that they know they are supported.”

SCDVA’s program highlights South Carolina Technical Colleges, colleges and universities that support service members, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and their family members. To

TCL’s chapter currently has 15 active members.

TCL’s Director for Military and Veteran Programs Christina Schatzle said the new designation and recognition was extremely validating and signals to students that TCL is here to support them.

“It’s validating to see the work we are doing to support our veterans and military-affiliated students has not gone unnoticed,” she said.

In addition to winning SCDVA’s silver award, the college has already implemented or is working toward meeting the SCDVA’s criteria for gold status, Schatzle said.

TCL is renovating and expanding its Military and Veterans Resource Center on the first floor of MacLean Hall, which will meet the

department’s standard of having a centralized location to house veteran services.

In addition, staff members also completed “Green Zone” training, or specialized training that enables staff to better assist military or military-affiliated students and is looking at offering career readiness and other opportunities such as intern-

ships or apprenticeships for veterans or military-affiliated students.

“These are just a few of the things that we either have already done or are in the process of doing,” said Schatzle. “Our goal is to reach gold next year.”

SC school districts want power to raise home-building fees

By Jessica Holdman SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA – Fort Mill’s school district has added 7,000 students over the past decade and projects another 5,800 more kids in the decade ahead.

In the Lowcountry, Dorchester County’s largest district has added 2,200 students since 2013. With 27 new housing developments on the map across its attendance area, more increases are coming.

Such rapid growth in the number of students — who require more classrooms, more teachers and more services — explains why the South Carolina School Board Association (SCSBA) is asking for a law change to allow local boards to levy their own fees on new homes built within their boundaries, rather than seeking county-level permission. It’s a measure unlikely to gain traction in the Statehouse as it’s almost guaranteed to see push back from the state’s homebuilders, who argue it makes new homes more expensive.

But advocates want to try.

“Certainly, it’s an uphill climb,” Debbie Elmore of the South Carolina School Board Association told the S.C. Daily Gazette. “But it’s something we at least want to ask for.”

Legislation passed in 2016 allowed districts to go to county councils, asking them to collect fees on their behalf.

The proposed change would be more direct, Elmore said.

Regardless of what a new school or expansion may cost, when districts have to go through a county council, the council can choose to set the fee at a lower level than requested.

That’s what happened recently with Fort Mill’s neigh-

Fort Mill school Superintendent Chuck Epps makes remarks at the groundbreaking of a new elementary school to be built using fees from new homes built. Photo courtesy of Fort Mill School District boring district, Clover (York Two).

In 2020, a district study called for fees as high as $15,000 on new houses, $7,400 on apartments and $9,800 on mobile homes.

York County Council approved roughly a quarter of the request: $4,000 on new houses, $2,000 on apartments and $2,600 on mobile homes.

Homebuilders in the state have a history of opposing these types of fees for schools, having filed lawsuits in Fort Mill (York Four) and Summerville (Dorchester Two), where residential growth has spread west out of Charleston.

School districts struggling to find space for more students find fees appealing because funds come in as governments issue new building permits. Districts save up as growth takes place rather than raising money after companies build new neighborhoods. Elmore also said

it’s new residents paying the fees rather than all taxpayers chipping in to pay back construction funded through borrowing.

“Folks in these districts are telling us it’s something they’d like to have,” Elmore said. “We’re just hearing more about this need.”

Affordability impacts Still, industry representatives argue new homes don’t necessarily mean new people moving to an area.

The fees can capture longtime residents who choose to move and build a new house, said Mark Nix, director of the state homebuilders association.

And to open up impact fees now would make it harder for people to afford a new home amid inflation and the high interest rates enacted to combat it, Nix said.

With the average price of a “starter home” now sitting at $300,000, these fees are tacked on to that cost and

raise the interest paid by homebuyers over time.

“I’m not sure how they would do that,” Nix said of the school board association’s effort. “I’ve never seen a bill for it. It’d be hard pressed for something like that to pass anyway.”

Meanwhile, Fort Mill has had to freeze enrollment at several schools, sending students to buildings with more space.

The district, one of four in York County, has swelled to about 18,400 students this school year, ranking 11th largest statewide among traditional districts. That’s up from 11,700 students a decade ago, and 8,600 students in 2008, according to state Department of Education data.

The suburban Charlotte district, long one of the state’s best-performing, has had a so-called impact fee in place since the ’90s. It was allowed to keep it even after such fees were outlawed for

school expansion for a time.

For more than a decade, the district received $2,500 from each new home permit, said Joe Burke, spokesman for the district.

To deal with its continued growth, the district is rezoning to move students to less crowded schools until it can raise the money for a new high school.

Legal challenges After lawmakers brought the practice back in 2016, Fort Mill schools returned to county council asking for drastically larger fees — $18,000 for homes and $12,000 for apartment units.

Homebuilders sued, questioning the constitutionality in 2018, when the district requested the increased fee.

The state Supreme Court upheld Fort Mill’s fee but the legal process drug on for three years.

In the interim, the district collected but did not spend the money. To get by, it issued bonds to build, with plans to use the collected fees to cover them if the court found in their favor. This practice, which is not allowed under state law, sparked a lawsuit and settlement agreement with the county.

Fort Mill was in need of new elementary and middle schools anyway, Burke said.

So the district redirected funding. It broke ground on the elementary school last month, completely funded by the fees collected.

In 2009, Summerville was able to collect fees under a special exception to state law. But homebuilders sued, tying up the funds for more than a decade. A 2020 settlement required the district to end the practice and return part of the collections.

The district has grown to be the state’s seventh-largest, with 26,500 this school year, up from about 24,400 in 2013. Though larger than Fort Mill, its growth rate hasn’t been as fast.

Changes unlikely While the School Boards Association says expanding districts’ funding options is a priority for the upcoming legislative session, lawmakers who represent these growing districts say they don’t see an appetite among their colleagues to change the law.

“Managing growth requires a coordinated effort,” said Sen. Wes Climer, R-Rock Hill. “I just don’t see how this idea enhances coordination between local government bodies.”

Sen. Michael Johnson, whose district includes Fort Mill, said he would not want the current model to change.

“I think county councils have the obligation to balance the interests of the county as a whole and look at things much more globally,” he said. “It allows a second set of eyes.”

Though it’s unlikely legislators will grant school districts autonomy, a separate bill filed ahead of the coming session could speed up the fee process. Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, wants to remove expensive engineering and legal consulting requirements and eliminate spending timelines on fees.

Davis said the changes will make the law “more workable” for municipalities.

Who cares about

public notices?

You have the right to know what’s happening in your community.

Public notices – information local governments are obligated to provide citizens – are required to be published in local newspapers to provide a public record that’s accessible to everyone.

Public notices keep you informed about your government.

But, in some states legislators are trying to keep public notices from appearing in local newspapers. This severely impacts government transparency and, in turn, limits the public’s right to hold them accountable for their actions.

Let your state legislators know that you value being able to access notices in your newspaper and that they are worth the investment.

HBF staff has served on City zoning, comprehensive plan, master plan and preservation guideline updates, affordable housing, cultural district, technical review, and Reconstruction initiatives.

There are remaining challenges; meshing the Beaufort Preservation Manual (Milner) with the current city code; educating newcomers and old-timers to the importance of the historic district, encouraging them to play a role in its protection from inappropriate influences and development and a relaxed interpretation of zoning laws; and finally, ultimately motivating our citizenry to stand on the shoulders of scores who protected this town and be leaders in the movement.

As a 501 (c)3 membership-based preservation and education organization, our preservation efforts are achieved through the generous support of our members and donors.

Through preservation programs, HBF’s efforts have significantly increased the City’s tax base and made Beaufort one of the most livable small towns in America. You don’t have to be a preservationist to appreciate this beautiful community we cherish, but if you share our goals of continued protection of the district, join us in this worthwhile endeavor.

Be thankful if your holiday is one of pure joy

L

ast week I said that this month I was going to write just about those ideas that are positive because, after all, it is the holiday season. So if the season is my reason, excuse the turn of the phrase, I am determined to stick with it.

I think it becomes very easy, especially this time of the year, to be stressed and entangled in what we perceive as problems. My granddaughter frequently uses the phrase “a first-world problem.” Of course, this is accompanied by a rolling of the eyes and no small amount of sarcasm.

But she is right. Often what we determine are problems in our everyday lives are simply annoyances in comparison to what is happening around the world.

Earlier in the month I was doing some baking, and in the middle of my prepara-

In calling the office of my it at my every day disposal is

audiologist, I was told she was not in, but that I could bring the device in for testing. Great news … almost.

The result was that the hearing aid had to be sent away for repair, and I could probably get a set of loaners when I could be scheduled next week, the operative word being “when.”

You see, I have plans to travel over the holiday, so scheduling is important.

Note: I just typed the word “crucial” before changing it to important. You see how easy it is to be caught up in the drama? First-world problem!

This past Sunday, I had planned a “drop-in” party for several people, making it a casual affair of short duration because I know this time of the year calendars are full to the brim. By Saturday, the weather forecast looked pretty grim, but I decided to soldier on, hop-

ing the forecasters might be wrong, or the pending storm might be swept out to sea, or that it might be much milder for our small town, tucked away.

By Sunday, noon, those far-fetched, delusional wishes were washed away, every pun intended. I felt I could not expect people to come out in weather like this, and when I contacted them, they were in agreement. All plans on hold. Much food to the freezer. Another first-world problem.

I make light of the issues I have put forth, and with good reason. I, as well as every other type-A personality, need to stop, take a deep breath, and assess where we are, and how lucky we are.

War rages on two fronts, and people are being killed during this season of hope.

There are those for whom Christmas will be just another day – no gifts, no table

set with special dinnerware, and bountifully adorned with way too much food.

There are those who will be mourning the loss of a loved one, no beautiful colors of red and green and gold, but only shades of gray.

So I ask all of you to be very thankful if your holiday is one of pure joy. As for me, I am going to forget about a defunct hearing aid and a delayed party. Instead, I plan to focus on holding my great grandson who is now six months old and has a 1,000watt smile that lights up the room. I will whisper a prayer of gratitude for having my family around me and I will wish for peace on this earth, goodwill toward ALL men.

I wish you hope, strength, kindness

R

ain has a way of quieting the orchestra of obligations in a world so hurried with the momentary contentment that comes from the suffocating persona we project, attempting to belong in a society where belonging is surrender.

As each drop rolls off the needle of an aged pine and fills the air with the scent of nature, I can't help but think of my Mamaw Mary. I ran through the field to her home, soaking my boots with each purposeful step. Racing the wind, dodging limbs, and hoping my momma didn't see me slide out the backdoor while my sisters stayed dry, behaving like good girls should.

I still feel the backsplash soaking my jeans, spattered with rye and mud. There was always a decisive rhythm in the path to Mamaw, often performing a duet with the speed of my heart and the short and quick steps made by memory as the rain blinded my little eyes.

CHERIMIE WEATHERFORD

Mississippi is confident in her ability to shine while showcasing southern winds whirling through tall pines, leaving ripples in open fields in a majestic show of power.

Simple downpours that amused the masses paled compared to the dancing pines, howling winds, and the instinctual movement of horses, cows, and birds that know. The deep south knows the rain more deeply than most.

Not capable of sitting still or hiding from any storm, Mamaw always found a way to busy her hands and mind. In anticipation of that signature screen door squeak,

her voice cut through the wind with a phrase I often feel in my bones. "Cherimie!" she would say before asking me if Daddy knew I was out in such weather. She never awaited my answer, as it never mattered, so she tossed a towel around my tiny, soaked frame with hands decorated with wisdom, bruised with experience, and darkened by time in the sun. Her hands were far more familiar with tools than baking pans; her scent was more sawdust than sweet.

As the rain hammered her tin roof, she would invite me to whatever project she created to avoid the punishment of an idle mind. Understanding my place with others my age felt forced and stifling; she let me be me. She knew my hands mirrored hers in smaller form.

The rainy days have taught me more than the smoldering heat of the southern summer or the breathtaking sting of winter beneath the pines. It was just me,

my Mamaw, and a Mississippi storm. The comfort of not filling time with unnecessary words and the joy of sharpening the tool of my two hands is my preferred selfcare, even today. I learned more about myself, unconditional love, and the gentle way nature nudges us to spend our time more wisely.

For hours, I helped proud Mary conquer things for which no one gave credit. Her piercing blue eyes intensified upon completing a project that should have been beyond her reach. She taught me to be silently proud and comfortably capable and taught me how to decipher noise from sound.

Never waiting for an audience, she shined so brightly in self-reliance. She was satisfied in solitude and felt no need for pretense.

Today, I sit listening to the rain, allowing myself to drift back home during a time when I miss the crackling wood stove, squeaking screen door, and the encouraging silence I enjoyed

with my Proud Mary the most.

The world moves more slowly with more intention when the rain and wind complete their dance.

Storms are a blessing, a caress, and a deep exhale. The times we spend making the most of the twisting winds, blanketing rain, and bending pines allow us to dance more confidently in the sun when clouds part.

As we reflect on a year coming to a close, storms past, and lives changed by unforgiving strikes of lightning, we also remember the strength of feeling the rain, facing the winds, and harnessing the power of change. The storms make us who we are, give us experience in understanding, and teach us to rise, not run. I wish you all a 2024 full of hope, strength, kindness, and the ability to withstand the storm.

How the Boston Tea Party’s changed American history

O

n the evening of Dec. 16, 1773, a crowd of armed men, some allegedly wearing costumes meant to disguise them as Native American warriors, boarded three ships docked at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston. In the vessels’ holds were 340 chests containing 92,000 pounds of tea, the most popular drink in America.

With support from the patriot group known as the Sons of Liberty, the intruders methodically searched the ships and dumped their tea into Boston Harbor.

According to the British East India Company, whose proprietors owned the destroyed cargo, losses totaled more than a million dollars in today’s currency.

The “destruction of the tea” – as the Boston Tea Party was originally called – was the pivotal event in the coming of the American Revolution. Before Dec. 16, a peaceful resolution to American objections to Parliament’s repeated attempts to tax the Colonies without their consent seemed possible. Afterward, both British and American Colonial positions hardened. Within a year, Britain and America were at war.

Parliament’s attempts The answer was the corrupt to tax the Colonies since bargain that Lord North, the the Stamp Act of 1765 had

Parliament had no choice.

“Whatever may be the Parliamentary anger consequence,” he told the When news of the deHouse of Commons on

April 22, 1774, “we must risk something: if we do not, all is over.”

Almost exactly a year later, the government’s coercive measures, which North hoped would settle the dispute on Britain’s terms, tipped 13 of George III’s Colonies into open rebellion. Whatever Americans thought of the events on Dec. 16, the punishment imposed on Massachusetts terrified them even more, raising fears that a similar fate awaited Colonists elsewhere.

If coercion was Britain’s only choice, then the Colonists began to see that perhaps they, too, had just one choice: armed resistance, followed on July 4, 1776, by a declaration of independence.

‘You have to have some knowledge of self, right?’

t’s Saturday, early, but I’ve got my coffee. I’ve also got a fire and a copy of the New Yorker Magazine. The December 4 issue brings us a profile of Jensen Huang, the CEO of a tech company that makes Artificial Intelligence.

Jensen Huang was born in Taiwan in 1963, relentlessly bullied and called a “Chink,” but now runs a company that is the sixth most valuable company on earth — a company with more value than Walmart and Exxon-Mobil combined.

Some of you know that I have a contempt for technology. Mostly I dislike cellphones and what they have done to relationships and romance. But a big part of my loathing is the realization that I don’t have a mental, simplified notion of how computers work.

In other words I can visualize small explosions pushing pistons in a gasoline-powered engine, and the physiological connection between one’s heart and one’s lungs, but I can’t imagine how my MacBook Air does what it does.

In the New Yorker piece, “The

T

he nation is watching as the devastating impacts of Arizona’s universal voucher program unfold. The most expansive and least accountable in the country, Arizona’s ESA voucher program is an unmitigated economic disaster with very real human impacts.

Last year, Arizona lawmakers and Gov. Doug Ducey rammed through universal ESA vouchers pushed by out-of-state interests. The Republicans running the legislature sold universal vouchers under the ruse that it would help low-income students, insisting the additional cost to the state would be negligible.

However, one year into this failed experiment, the truth is clear: universal ESA vouchers are welfare for the wealthy that will devastate the state’s budget and lead to school closures, teacher layoffs, and eventually cuts to services like firefighters, health care, roads and more.

Republican former Rep. Joel John, one of the deciding votes on universal vouchers, said he’s “regretted it ever since… It was such bad policy, I was embarrassed I supported it.”

Other states are learning from our mistakes and are outright rejecting voucher schemes. Take Texas, for example, where Republicans and Democrats worked together to buck Gov. Abbott’s repeated attempts to pass ESA vouchers, rejecting voucher schemes not once, not twice, but

Wait a minute. Write a poem? “‘If you allow yourself to believe that an artificial neuron is like biological neuron, then it’s like you’re training brains,’ Sutskever told me. ‘They should do everything that we do.’”

SCOTT GRABER Witt (the author) was initially skeptical of Sutskever’s claim — “I Chosen Chip,” Stephen Witt hadn't learned to identify cats by writes his article with many illuslooking at ten million reference trative comparisons between the images, and I hadn’t leaned to write internal functioning of Artificial by scanning the complete works of Intelligence and the trillions of humanity.” neurons that make up our brains.

lem with the notion of teaching grammar to a computer; or giving the computer a billion bits of data — but doesn’t poetry require something more?

Doesn’t poetry, or the writing of a novel, require real emotion?

I have tried writing a novel and I know that one must dive deeply into one’s own soul when seeking honor, love, humor, anger and betrayal. If one wants a reader to fall in love the writer must know how it feels to be consumed with love.

Some years ago I was trying to write a “falling in love scene” in one of my novels. It involved two teenagers who are slowly, incremental falling in love during a summer vacation. Unexpectedly they find themselves offshore, stranded on a sandbar with a sudden summer storm forming on the horizon.

In order to write that passage I needed think about young, tanned, thin-armed girls; and remember the intoxication of giving and receiving love from that lissome, straw-hat-wearing girl. I had to pull-up and dust off

memories from that long lost summer. I know there are existing novels with beach scenes like this — From Here to Eternity— but I don’t know how you write about falling in love without having lived in that moment yourself.

But my wife, Susan, argues that Artificial Intelligence can manufacture the words and phrases that trigger the emotion. “Artificial Intelligence doesn’t have to know the feeling itself.”

But I hold fast that poetry writers have to be self-aware. And the author of the piece, Witt, also wonders if a stainless steel box, however complicated, can become self-aware.

“I wondered if someday soon an A.I. might become self-aware. In order for you to be a creature, you have to be conscious. You have to have some knowledge of self, right?”

Jensen Huang replied, “I don’t know where that could happen.”

Arizona’s universal school vouchers a cautionary BETH LEWIS

SHARON KIRSCH

FIVE times this year.

In explaining his opposition, Texas Republican Rep. John Raney said, “I believe in my heart that using taxpayer dollars to fund an entitlement program is not conservative, and it’s bad public policy. Expanding government-defined choice programs for a few without accountability… undermines our constitutional and moral duty to educate the children of Texas.”

In Illinois, the legislature eliminated its voucher program altogether, ending a program that — like Arizona’s — enabled discrimination on the basis of religion, disability status, LGBTQ+ status and more. Georgia and Idaho have successfully fought back as well, refusing to institute voucher programs because of their sky-high costs and nonexistent accountability.

Our new report, “The Impacts of Universal ESA Vouchers: Arizona’s Cautionary Tale,”highlights for the nation the devastating impacts of the universal voucher program — and people are taking note.

From The Wall Street Journal to Politico to The Hechinger Report, the country is watching the

shameful example Arizona is setting.

• Vouchers hurt Arizona’s economy: After universal expansion, ESA vouchers are on track to cost Arizona taxpayers over $900 million this school year — nearly 1,400% higher than initially projected.

The legislature could have used this funding for teacher and staff salary increases, building safety, 21st-century learning, and so much more. Instead, Arizona school districts are already looking at cuts and school closures.

• Welfare for the wealthy: Universal ESA vouchers are primarily claimed by families whose children were already in private school and could already afford this option; now, these vouchers represent an entirely new cost to the state.

• Arizona’s vouchers have no accountability: Unlike other states, Arizona’s universal vouchers have little to no transparency to taxpayers, zero academic accountability, and zero safety standards. There

Save Our Schools Arizona filled the lawn outside the Arizona House of Representatives denouncing a Republican plan to expand Empowerment Scholarship Account vouchers to all Arizona students on June 22, 2022. Jerod MacDonald-Evoy/Arizona Mirror are no requirements to teach state standards, conduct background checks on teachers or tutors, or ensure site safety — meaning children will inevitably get hurt.

• Vouchers hurt rural and low-income students: ESA vouchers are primarily claimed by more affluent families in wealthier zip codes and are concentrated in large, suburban areas. This robs funds from low-income and rural communities, leaving them behind.

• With vouchers, students lose protections: ESA vouchers require parents to sign away federal rights, including protections

for special education students, and are leading to many instances of state-funded discrimination against LGBTQ students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

Universal ESA vouchers threaten to accomplish in Arizona exactly what they were designed to do: dismantle public education. Arizona would be wise to follow the nation in learning from our mistakes — before it’s too late.

Seth from the gym

Combat Fitness Center attendant from Beaufort becomes a Marine

By Cpl. Jacqueline Kliewer United States Marine Corps

MCRD PARRIS ISLAND ntering the receiving building, the Island’s newest recruit, Seth Vilayvahn, knew everyone was watching.

But, for him, it was to a new level.

While receiving his initial issue of Marine Corps clothing, he sees a familiar face he knows well.

“You’re crazy! Why are you here right now?” exclaimed Cpl. Rayssa DeOliveira, a Supply Clerk with Depot Clothing, Headquarters and Service Battalion, MCRD Parris Island.

Born in Beaufort, S.C. on February 24, 2003, to parents Mari and Nathan Vilayvahn, Seth grew up familiar with the United States Marine Corps and its lifestyle. His father, Nathan Vilayvahn, served for eight years in the United States Marine Corps and United States Army. Following his retirement in August of 2002, Nathan and his wife, Mari settled down in Beaufort where they went on to raise their daughter and two sons, Nathanelle, Nicolo, and Seth.

Growing up in a rich military home and town, Seth had an interest in serving from an early age.

Raised with strong foundations of dignity, discipline, and honor by his mother and father, he understood the weight and selflessness of what it means to serve.

“We always taught him to do his best in whatever he does. ...

We all knew he could do whatever he set his mind to,” said Nathan Vilayvahn.

Upon high school graduation from the South Carolina Connections Academy, Seth still had the

Recruit Seth Vilayvahn from November Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, receives his Eagle, Globe, and Anchor Dec. 9, 2023 aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The EGA Ceremony signifies the Seth Vilayvahn, while working at the Combat Fitness Center, poses for a photo Apr. 8, 2023 on Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. Raised in completion of recruit training and the first moment recruits are called U.S. Beaufort, Vilayvahn worked at the gym for three years before joining the U.S. Marines. Vilayvahn is a native from Beaufort, S.C. Jacqueline Kliewer/ USMC Marine Corps. Sgt. Joseph Solvato/USMC same interest in enlisting, but felt he wasn’t ready to take the step to serve just yet. During this time, he found work at the Combat Fitness Center located at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island.

“It started as my friends went to college, so I worked the weekends there part-time,” explained Seth.

Used as the primary gym for permanent personnel who work on the depot and throughout the Tri-Command area, the Combat Fitness Center serves as a resource available for all Marines, sailors, and civilians who choose.

Working at the fitness center from late 2020 to mid-2023, Seth found his part-time job to become full-time. Spending more and more time there, he began to find close friends and colleagues in the various Marines and sailors working all over the area who would come to the gym regularly.

Over time, he became a friendly face across the depot, nicknamed “Seth from the Gym.” During his time at the center, he found his closest friends in various active duty servicemen and women, sharing common interests and conversations. Eventually, he found himself spending a great amount of time with his new friends both in and out of the gym.

“Whether it just be about new things we got in the gym and just working out, it would eventually branch into different conversations,” Seth described, “(I) ended up getting to know all these people and becoming friends with them.”

As their relationships grew clos-

er, they began to greatly inspire him to serve in the Marine Corps and Seth knew now was the right time for him to enlist. On Sept.

25, 2023, “Seth from the Gym” stepped onto the yellow footprints, entering recruit training with November Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion.

Knowing he was a familiar face on the depot, Vilayvahn went into recruit training with hopes of not being recognized as “Seth from the Gym.” As his hopes quickly diminished, he became almost immediately distinguishable throughout the entire set of recruits he was paired with.

“It’s kind of hard to lay low when you’re an anomaly,” laughed Vilayvahn.

Throughout recruit training, Vilayvahn had various experiences with countless drill instructors, permanent personnel, and civilians recognizing him. The familiar face of “Seth from the Gym,” was unexpected to see as a Marine Corps recruit, after working at the Combat Fitness Center for so long.

“Everybody knew me, but I didn’t know everybody,” Vilayvahn explained.“I was just like, ‘Who are these people?’”

Similarly, Vilayvahn recalls the familiarity he had with the majority of the range coaches who trained him during Tables 1 and 2. Knowing the majority of the younger Marines who work in Weapons and Field Training Battalion, MCRD Parris Island, Vilayvahn remembers knowing

close to the entire group of coaches that trained his platoon while on the range during Firing Week, the week recruits formally qualify with the M4A16 Service Rifle.

“When we got to the range and started shooting, I ended up knowing my entire block,” Vilayvahn explained. “One of the guys, I used to cut his hair as well. We would talk all the time at the gym.”

Throughout recruit training, Vilayvahn felt the expectations given to him were higher than the other recruits. Similar to a responsibility to perform and represent his family and friends, he pushed himself to aim higher, run faster, and perform better.

Performing above his peers, Vilayvahn earned a first-class level score on both the Physical Fitness Test and Combat Fitness Test, as well as an Expert-Level Qualification score on the Service Rifle, outperforming many other recruits.

Over time, he learned and understood the professionalism required throughout training by his instructors. Regardless of the relationship he had with those he knew, he always valued the fair treatment he received. When his instructors, coaches, and leaders were tough on him throughout classes, training, or objectives, he knew it was for something larger than himself.

“I wouldn’t say I took anything personally. I had an understanding. I knew everything was just training and everything was just business,” said Vilayvahn.

As he progressed through training Vilayvahn learned about his strengths, specifically his ability to thrive in chaos. Assigned as the Guide of his platoon early on during Forming, the first week of recruit training, Vilayvahn quickly developed the habit of looking out for those under him and ensuring he maintained composure amid adversity. As training progressed, he became a reliable asset to his peers and someone who followed through consistently.

“Amidst the chaos, there was just me, in the middle, calm,” Vilayvahn described, “Especially during the Crucible. (...) They froze, looked at me, and they just automatically knew that I had a plan in my head.”

Finding his greatest motivation and grounding through his loved ones, Vilayvahn is excited to be able to share similar experiences and greater commonalities with his close friends and family.

“My friends are Marines, and we were close already. But I think we're just a little bit closer now. Like brothers,” expressed Vilayvahn.

Following his completion of the Crucible on Dec. 9, 2023, Vilayvahn was selected as the Company Honor Graduate of November Company for his excellent performance and attitude throughout training. Graduating, December 20, 2023, Pfc. Vilayvahn will be reporting to the School of Infantry, East, on Camp Geiger, N.C., following 10 days of leave, to become a 0331, Machine Gunner.

The miracle of Fisher House Charleston

iracle on Wentworth Street. The story of Fisher House Charleston is the story of miracles. It was a miracle that Trux and Durbin Emerson were found to lead the effort to raise the $4.5 million to buy the land to build the Fisher House Charleston.

It was a miracle that a core of influential supporters like USMC Major General (Retired and Medal of Honor Recipient) Jim Livingston, the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center (RHJVAMC) Past CEO/Director Carolyn Adams, and the RHJVA Medical Center (Past) Customer Service Manager Joy Fealy-Kalar volunteered to help lead the effort to bring a Fisher House to Charleston.

Finding the last piece of available property near the VA Medical Center to purchase was a miracle.

Raising $4.5 million to buy 150 Wentworth Street and donating it to the VA was a miracle. And it was a miracle that Fisher House Charleston opened for business in January of 2018.

What is Fisher House Charleston?

The RHJVAMC Fisher House is a beautiful, three-story, and free home away from home for the eligible families of veterans (and some military members) receiving care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and Health Care System (RHJVAHCS).

It is the first Fisher House built on private land, which was purchased by the 501c3, The Friends of Fisher House Charleston, Inc., and donated to the VA.

ment-appropriated funds.

It was the Friends of Fisher House Charleston who raised $4.5 million to buy the land on which Fisher House Charleston was built.

The Fisher House Program The Fisher House Program is a unique private-public partnership between the Fisher House Foundation, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense that supports America’s military members and veterans. The Fisher House Foundation builds, furnishes, and donates these comfort homes.

Fisher Houses are located on or near major military and VA medical centers.

The local community raises a portion of the construction costs, and the Fisher House Foundation contributes the rest.

Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher first recognized the need to provide “homes

away from home” for families of hospitalized military men and women in 1990.

Learn more at Fisher Foundation and the 96 current Fisher Houses at https:// fisherhouse.org.

The Lowcountry needs another Fisher House In 2023 the RHJHCS Fisher House maintained the third-highest occupancy in the VA system out of 45 other VA medical centers.

The RHJVA Fisher House was also included in the top two VAs for total veterans’ families accommodated and served 1,246 veterans’ families.

The need for Fisher House rooms has outgrown availability. Our “Miracle on Wentworth Street” has been full for the past three months, with the Friends of Fisher House having to find hotel accommodations for many families of veterans in the RHJVA Medical Center.
