LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fisher Houses are a ‘miracle’ and a ‘blessing’

Thank you for printing Larry Dandridge’s informative weekly articles about veterans' benefits.

I encourage any Island News reader who is a veteran to read, or reread, last week’s article “The Miracle of Fisher House Charleston!”

You might even want to cut it out and save it – just so you have it if you ever need to stay overnight in Charleston while receiving care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center.

Fisher Houses are homes built adjacent to military and VA medical centers where the family of a veteran can stay, free of charge, while their loved one is receiving medical care. There are 96 of these magnificent homes next to military or VA medical centers throughout the continental U.S., and overseas in Hawaii, Germany, and Great Britain.

If you live in Beaufort, our nearest Fisher House is in Charleston, and when you compare the cost of a hotel room in Charleston to staying at the 16-suite Fisher House free of charge, with free trans-

Santa’s special stocking stuffers Newborn tradition at Beaufort Memorial more than 30 years old

By Cindy Whitman Special to The Island News A baby is a gift any time of year, but come December at the Beaufort Memorial Collins Birthing Center, it’s all about the wrapping.

Each new December arrival is delivered to mom and dad in a cozy, handmade and embroidered flannel holiday stocking.

Inaugurated more than 30 years ago by the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, this now time-honored holiday tradition was a hit from Day 1, according to retired Collins Birthing Center Director Patti Valentini.

“Our volunteers came up with the idea and brought us a big box of stockings,” she recalls fondly. “There were about 100 the first year.

Before we took the babies to see mom and dad for the first time, we tucked them in like little stocking stuffers.

The parents loved it and the birthing center staff loved being a part of it!”

Jonolyn Ferreri seconds that sentiment. Her son, Jamie, now 28, was wheeled into her hospital room in a red and white flannel stocking on Dec. 7, 1995.

“My husband, John, and I didn’t know Beaufort Memorial did that, so it was a really sweet surprise,” Jonolyn remembers. “And my mother was especially touched. She told the story every year at Christmas. That’s a special memory for me now. I think about her and how much she loved telling that story.”

As the years rolled by, thousands of December babies were tucked into holiday stockings and delivered to their delighted parents and families, and then some changes within the volunteer programs prompted the stocking stuffer deliveries to be put on pause.

However, thanks to the excitement and enthusiasm of Labor and Delivery Nurse, Amy Geier the tradition was rekindled in 2016.

“I just remembered it was such a fun tradition,” Amy says. “We were all like, ‘Aw, we kind of miss those stockings.’ They were just so cute, and the babies looked so cute in them, and the looks on their parents’ faces when they saw them were priceless!”

Amy called her mom in Seattle, who likes to sew in her spare time, and asked if she would make the holiday stockings for the Beaufort Memorial babies that year.

“I sent her a picture of one, she created a pattern, and she and some of her sewing

Jane Pfarner delivers stockings to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Photo courtesy of Beaufort Memorial Hospital group friends made 50 that first year,” Amy recalled.

Amy’s mom and sewing group friends supplied the Beaufort Memorial stockings for the next two years, but the intensive labor and high costs of materials and shipping caused the Seattle sewing crew to decide it was time to pass the baton.

Enter the Sea Island Quilters Guild “We had been making holiday baby quilts for Beaufort Memorial for years,” Sea Island Quilters Guild Outreach Committee Chair Brenda Lucas said. “One day, one of our members was delivering quilts to the birthing center and was asked if making the baby stockings might be something our guild would be interested in doing. We offered to have members quilt them at first, but the hospital preferred for all the stockings to be the same. The Sea Island Quilters enlisted the help of The Material Girls quilting group — 90% of whom are also guild members — to sponsor the stocking project and together we got to work!”

That was five years ago.

The collaboration is now an annual event that begins in August with pattern cutting and culminates in Octo-

ber when the quilters assemble the 100 to 110 stockings.

“We don’t charge for our labor, only the costs of the materials,” Brenda explains.

“It’s a joyous process. We look forward to it every year.”

As part of the stocking process, the cuffs are embroidered with the message “Happy Holidays” with the help of Anita Bryde, embroidery artist and owner of Polawana Puppy.

Bryde, a retired Atlanta realtor who is also a member of The Material Girls and Sea Island Quilters Guild, took up embroidery after arriving on Lady’s Island with her husband in 2018. She fell in love with the art and soon traded traditional needle and thread for a $7,000 embroidery machine, which she put to use to start her own embroidery business.

“When they first were making the stockings, they sent them to a screen printer to have “Merry Christmas” printed on the stocking cuffs. They were cute, but we thought we could make them look a little better,” Bryde remembered. “So, I volunteered myself and my embroidery machine.”

It takes Anita’s machine about 23 minutes to embroider each stocking cuff.

Multiply that by 100-plus

GET IN. GET OUT.

stockings, and that’s quite the labor of love, even if she isn’t wielding the needle and thread herself.

Bryde thinks about the math and laughs. “I guess it is. But it’s fun, I enjoy it. And I enjoy hearing all the stories of how much the new parents love the stockings and seeing their babies in them.

When you’re an artist, you like it when people like what you do.”

Special memories When it comes to the sight of the Beaufort Memorial babies in their holiday stockings, the word “like” is an understatement.

Jaye Harris, a preoperative assessment testing nurse at Beaufort Memorial, says “love” is more like it.

Her son, Max, was born at the Collins Birthing Center on Dec. 16, 2020.

“At the time, I worked in the ER and didn’t know anything about labor and delivery. I had a Cesarean section and only saw Max for a minute before they had to finish my surgery,” she says.

“The first time I got a good look at my son was when they wheeled him into my room in his Christmas stocking. It was such an anxious time for me; it was during the pandemic, it was

When it comes to capturing these best-ever holiday moments, photographer Charlotte Berkeley is often right there. The Beaufort native specializes in newborn, family and maternity photography, but she has her own Beaufort Memorial stocking stuffer experience.

Charlotte was actually at the hospital on Dec. 20, 2019, when she went into labor with her son.

“I came in to do photos for another family, and at 10

a.m. my water broke,” Berkeley laughs. “I was like, ‘Oops!’

I had seen lots of babies in their stockings, but it was still a very special moment for me when they wheeled Berk into my room.”

Thirty years. Thirty Decembers. Thousands of babies. Enough red flannel to blanket a football field. Miles of silky embroidery thread.

Hundreds of volunteers over the years. The Beaufort Memorial Collins Birthing Center holiday stocking story is a tale filled with tradition, volunteerism, altruism and sheer joy. And each new baby born is still a gift.

WarriorWOD Foundation receives Beaufort Fund Grant to aid veterans

From staff reports The WarriorWOD Foundation, a resource for veterans dealing with the consequences of their service, announced an expansion of its programs Wednesday, Dec. 20 with an $8,000 grant from The Beaufort Fund of Coastal Community Foundation.

This funding is targeted at combating the escalating issue of invisible wounds among veterans, encompassing Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), depression, and associated challenges like substance abuse and the distressingly high rates of veteran suicide.

Research paints a concerning picture: 30% of veterans are afflicted by PTS, with a staggering 6 million living with various forms of invisible wounds. Disturbingly, about 22 veterans

The WarriorWOD Foundation supports the healing of veterans’ invisible wounds through a holistic approach that incorporates exercise, nutrition, and mentorship. By prioritizing these key elements as prescriptions for recovery from Post-Traumatic Stress and other service-related challenges, WarriorWOD seeks to enhance veterans' quality of life and empower them to thrive post-service. Submitted photo commit suicide each day, with an additional 20 losing their battles to substance abuse.

WarriorWOD's initiatives are meticulously crafted to

directly address these pressing matters, providing a crucial support system for veterans spanning from the era of the Vietnam War to more recent conflicts such as Op-

eration Enduring Freedom.

WarriorWOD's commitment to assisting veterans extends to tackling Post Traumatic Stress head-on, a condition that dramatically heightens the risk of suicide and substance abuse. This complex situation is further intensified by an increased risk of fatalities linked to substance abuse in this demographic. Through its focused efforts on PTS recovery, WarriorWOD actively works towards reducing the instances of veteran suicide and deaths related to substance abuse. This approach serves to alleviate the burden on healthcare systems and significantly contributes to improving the overall health and well-being of the veteran community.

With the veteran population in South Carolina nearing 398,000, and 27,590 in

the Southern Lowcountry region alone, the foundation's inclusive and comprehensive strategy ensures that every veteran receives the support and attention they deserve.

"Our nation's heroes, who have sacrificed so much, deserve nothing less than our unwavering support and dedication,” said Philip Palmer, Executive Director of the WarriorWOD Foundation. “This generous grant from The Beaufort Fund of Coastal Community Foundation is a game-changer, allowing us to extend our reach and intensify our efforts in helping veterans overcome the invisible wounds of their service."

Beaufort launches app as easy way to report service issues

From staff reports If you want to report a damaged street sign in the City of Beaufort, the City now have an app for that — and for reporting many other service concerns.

The City of Beaufort has introduced SeeClickFix, a tool that will allow residents to easily report various service issues to the appropriate staff in the City.

“We look forward to integrating SeeClickFix into our daily operations,” City Manager Scott Marshall said in a news release. “We think citizens will be pleased with its ease of use and its responsiveness.”

Use of the app is simple. You can download this app from the App Store on your phone. Once you have SeeClickFix downloaded and installed, search for Beaufort, S.C. Keep SeeClickFix somewhere on your phone where it is easy to find.

At the bottom of the app, there is a profile icon. Pressing that registers the user of SeeClickFix Beaufort. Users are encouraged to register (this requires email and a password that the user sets up).

As a registered user, you can track the progress of your request, and see the status of other requests.

However, you can submit issues as a guest.

Once you have registered, or decide to proceed as a guest, you simply press the plus at the bottom of the home screen, which says New Request. You can take a picture of the damaged street sign (or tap no picture – but photos are preferred if possible). Once the user indicates they want to use that photo, a map of Beaufort will come up, with

A4

that location pinpointed. When the user hits next, they may begin to fill out the request.

Of note, the map will also show an icon for the Town of Bluffton, which also has this app for its residents. That does not affect how it operates for Beaufort residents.

You can also submit issues from the City’s website – www. cityofbeaufort.org. A button on the website home page goes to the SeeClickFix page.

Currently, SeeClickFix has several categories, and issues under each category. These categories include: • Streets & Stormwater Division • Traffic Division • Parks • Solid Waste & Recycling • Code Enforcement Users choose the category and issue closest to their concern. If they can’t find an exact match to fit the service need, they should select “Other.”

The user should answer the questions that are prompted, and add any details that are pertinent, then hit submit. The user will then get a reply acknowledging that the issue has been received and a ticket started.

On the back end of this app, the service request will be routed to the most appropriate office in the City for the need identified.

Once the work is completed, the user will be automatically notified using the information provided in the service request.

Send any feedback on the app to Communications Manager Kathleen Williams at kwilliams@cityofbeaufort.org.

Cook Out coming soon in Boundary Street Burger King location NC fast food chain originally planned store at Golden Corral site

By Mike McCombs The Island News Almost three years after initially purchasing property in Beaufort, there’s no doubt Cook-Out is on the way.

As first reported by Explore Beaufort, and confirmed by the signs erected in front of the buildling, the North Carolina-based fast food chain will open a restaurant at 2434 Boundary Street in the former Burger King building. To date, Cook Out has not responded to emails from The Island News.

Before the windows were covered, the building, constructed in 1983, was being drastically remodeled on the inside.

According to Cook Out’s page on the employment site Indeed, the restaurant began hiring earlier this fall, advertising for a general manager and a manager in training. Then, about three weeks ago, openings were posted for an assistant general manager, a p.m. general manager and an hourly manager.

Then, about a week ago, an opening was posted for a quality system regulation (QSR) manager.

About Cook Out Morris Reaves opened the first Cook Out location in 1989 in Greensboro, N.C. Morris Reaves owns the company, while his son, Jeremy Reaves, serves as the CEO. While the first 50 locations were all in North Carolina, there are now more than 300 locations operating in 10 states. The closest locations to Beaufort are Walterboro and Hilton Head Island (101 Central Avenue).

Cook Out’s menu features hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, barbecue sandwiches, chicken nuggets and quesadillas. Instead of combos, their menu features the Cook Out Tray featuring massive and numerous combinations of entrees, sides and a drink for a low price.

The restaurant is also known for the freshly made milkshakes, of which they sell at least three dozen varieties year-round, as well as seasonal flavors.

And of course, the North Carolina chain sells the North Carolina drink Cheerwine, a cherry-flavored soda found only in the Tar Heel State and it’s closest neighbors.

A false start, a new site The first indication Cook Out was considering a Beaufort location came in early 2001.

As reported by The Island News in October 2021, two parcels totaling 1.881 acres at 122 Robert Smalls Parkway – the site of the now-closed Golden Corral steakhouse – were sold Jan. 8, 2021

by Beaufort Asset Management, LLC to Cook Out-Beaufort, Inc., “A South Carolina Corporation” for $1.34 million.

The address for Cook Out-Beaufort, Inc., is the same as Cook Out’s corporate offices – 15 Laura Lane Suite 300, Thomasville, N.C. 27360.

On a loan document related to the sale, Cook Out Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeremy Reaves signed the document as President of Cook Out-Beaufort, Inc. When reached by phone at the time, a Cook Out official said that

Plunge

any questions regarding the company’s acquisition of land would have to be directed to Reaves.

Reaves never responded to an email from The Island News.

At the Monday, Nov. 22, 2021 City of Beaufort’s Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA) meeting, Zach Gardner of Summery Engineering requested “two variances related to parking requirements for a proposed 3,083 square foot Cook Out fast food restaurant located at 122 Robert Smalls Parkway …” (Parcel ID #R122 029 000 103I 0000, to-

taling 1.85 acres).

The board agreed with Gardner’s request on five of six points.

But for whatever reason, Cook Out officials were never satisfied with the situation at the old Golden Corral site, and there was no concrete development for almost two years.

Apparently, Cook Out moved on.

Cook Out-Beaufort acquired the Burger King property on Aug. 31, 2023 from Beaufort Plaza, Inc., owners of the site since 1980, for

$1,800,000. The property, including the building, was valued at $983,000.

Meanwhile, the former Golden Corral site at 122 Robert Smalls Parkway is for sale.

The Burger King closed it’s doors permanently earlier in the fall, and the Cook Out signs went up about two weeks ago.

14th Annual

WANT TO GO? Who: Friends of Hunting Island

from page A1

“The Pelican Plunge is always a great event and a time for reflection for our team on what the organization has done and is going to do,” Miller said.

For the Plunge, FOHI has secured four food trucks.

There will be music, hot chocolate and cookies, and prizes for the event’s traditional costume parade, led by none other than Hunting Island’s famous Pelican, who has been busy prepping the beach for just the right atmosphere, via social media.

For a new twist, Hunting Island State Park will host two hikes on New Years Day — a sunrise hike at 7 a.m. and another at 10 a.m.

Those interested in hiking before plunging into the ocean should meet at the Nature Center.

Plungers should gather at the Lighthouse area on North Beach at noon. The Plunge actually goes off at 1 p.m.

Tickets for the Pelican Plunge are $10 per adult and $5 per child, with all donations going to Friends of Hunting Island, which supports the Hunting Island State Park in facilitating funding for key projects such as the recently renovated Nature Center at South Beach. Those brave enough can register for the Plunge at www.friendsofhuntingisland.com/pelican.

According to Miller, 2023 was a truly satisfying year to be a part of FOHI. The FOHI Sea Turtle Conservation Program set a Hunting Island record with 195 nests laid and more than 14,000 hatchlings sent out to sea. Lead

by Director Beth Glass, the program had more than 200 volunteers “hit the beach to facilitate this highly coordinated project every day, in all weather environments.”

The North Carolina-based fast food chain Cook Out will soon open a restaurant at 2434 Boundary Street in the former Burger King building. Mike McCombs/The Island News

Under the critical eye of Construction Director Randal Brown and his volunteers, the project came in on time and under budget. “We have been excited to watch the children marvel at the 8-foot reptile wall and share in the educational exhibits that the SCPRT Interpretive Rangers use to share their wealth of knowledge with the community and visitors to Hunting Island,” Miller said.

In 2024, the Plunge will help fund the restoration of the 1875 First Order Fresnel Lens, housed in the Lighthouse, “which is in dire need of a new home where it can rest and show off all of its glory to the community,” Miller said.

The shining lens stands 10 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter and is made up of 290 glass prisms set in a bronze frame. It weighs just over a ton and has been with S.C. Parks and Recreation

since 1961.

“First Order Fresnel lenses are extremely rare,” Miller said. “There are only 39 in the country, and Beaufort is the beneficiary of one of them,” Miller said.

FOHI has worked with the City of Beaufort to secure funding, grants, and to assist with the proposed work.

“We will have the privilege of working with Pender Brothers in Port Royal to create a new frame for the precious glass prisms in what will be an exact replica of the original piece,” Miller said. “Our goal is to house the new lens in a new exhibit space on the lighthouse compound.”

Money raised from the Plunge, in addition to membership fees from 2024, will help fund this work.

Tragedy averted in Burton house fire From staff reports Early Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 20, the Burton Fire District, MCAS Fire and Rescue, and Beaufort County EMS responded to a reported house fire in the Grays Hill area of Burton, in Beaufort County, in what fire officials are stating was seconds from tragedy.

Just before 1 p.m., a family member driving by saw smoke coming from his mother’s home and called 911. The son quickly entered the home, which was filling with smoke, helped evacuate his elderly mother, and was able to knock some of the fire

down using baking soda.

Emergency crews arrived on scene with smoke still coming from the home. Burton firefighters entered the home and completed the extinguishment, but not before the fire had spread into the walls, cabinets, and ceiling.

The fire was caused by unattended cooking on the stove.

While damages to the stove and cabinet area was extensive, the rest of the single wide mobile home sustained only minor smoke damage. The resident was displaced and is staying with family. No injuries were reported.

Burton fire officials state this fire was seconds from becoming a tragedy. While the smoke alarms had activated, had the son not arrived to help evacuate his mother, officials say serious injuries or worse were very likely.

While the fire was knocked down by the son’s quick thinking and using nearby baking soda, fire officials stress the importance of having a home ABC fire extinguisher, less than five years old, mounted in the kitchen area for quick access and use.

Cooking fires remain the number one cause of fire for the Burton Fire District.

Family displaced in house fire; dog rescued

From staff reports Emergency responders answered a report of a home on fire in the Sunset neighborhood off Broad River Boulevard just after 7:30 a.m., Friday, Dec. 22. First arriving units were met by the homeowners who reported that all humans were out of the home but they could not find their family dog.

Firefighters made their way in and found signs of fire in the back half of the home and in the attic above. Responding quickly, they were able to simultaneously extinguish the fire saving the majority of the home, and find the family pet safely reuniting the pup with his humans outside.

All told, units from Burton Fire, Beaufort County EMS, Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, the City of Beaufort Police Department, and the Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross worked for about two hours to extinguish and investigate the fire, as well as coordinate services for the family who was unfortunately displaced by the event.

While the specific cause of the fire is still under investigation, firefighters would like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that “Tis the season

from page A1 and unequivocally opposes plans to develop the residential portions of the project as build to rent,” Phillips wrote in the six-page letter addressed to Peter Clark, chief development officer for Safe Harbor Marinas.

Shortly after he was sworn in as mayor on Dec. 13, Phillips moved the Town Council in executive session to discuss matters relating to development of the port. At the conclusion of the closeddoor session, Council announced that a letter outlining their concerns had been authorized, but the contents of the letter were not made public until several days later.

“In the short term, the town needs an accurate assessment of the timeline for the marina development, as it impacts the surrounding properties,” Port Royal Town Manager Van Willis told The Post and Courier.

The property’s development plan exists between the town and Safe Harbor and requires residential development, which Safe Harbor does not do. To close that gap, they engaged a Charleston-based firm, The Beach Company.

A rendering completed by Allison Ramsey Architects of residential development proposed for the Safe Harbor project in Port Royal.

The Beach Company/Provided A representative of The Beach Company presented its plan for the project’s residential component during an Aug. 9, 2023 Town Council meeting. It called for a build-to-rent neighborhood with 205 townhomes and 34 singlefamily homes.

“That took the council by surprise. It took the people by surprise. I haven't met a single person in Port Royal that thinks the plan is a good idea,” Phillips said.

“We’ve got to get this right.”

J.R. Darby of The Beach Company said at the time that the economics of the development necessitated the build-to-rent plan, adding that the infrastructure costs were high and the market was small. Driving some of that cost, he said, was the presence of contaminated soil on the site.

According to the company, the state would only allow rental properties to be built on that soil, a position that the town has since challenged.

Phillips in his letter asked a number of questions trying to establish whether Safe Harbor had looked for other development options.

“We’re asking, ‘Why are you so wed to them in this plan?’ There are other developers out there. There are other plans out there,” he said.

Town Manager Van Willis said that concerns with Safe Harbor’s approach to date haven’t been limited to the members of the council.

“Our residents are clearly

concerned about the build to rent concept for the bluff, so we want to understand if all potential avenues for development of this unique property were explored,” Willis said.

Other issues outlined in the letter include securing Safe Harbor’s cooperation for town projects planned in conjunction with the marina development. The projects include building a commercial dock, building a seafood processing plant and completing construc-

tion of the Spanish Moss Trail through the property.

Funding exists, Phillips said, for these projects, but progress has been hampered by inaction on Safe Harbor's part.

For each of the issues raised, Phillips provided a date by which an answer from Safe Harbor is expected.

“There's a lot of moving pieces to the development and every single one of them is important,” Phillips said.

“So far, they’ve talked about the marina and this build-torent neighborhood.”

Reached for comment by email, Clark said that Safe Harbor and its partners are eager to continue development in Port Royal but require support from the town to advance the project.

Phillips set Jan. 12, 2024 as a due date for several of the central issues detailed in his letter. Despite those concerns, his goal is a successful, cooperative relationship with Safe Harbor.

“This port will define Port Royal going forward,” Phillips said. “It’s massively important. We want it to be as good as it can be. That’s our position.”

5 Beaufort residents appointed to Forward Party County Committee

From staff reports Five county residents have been appointed members of the Beaufort County Forward Party Committee, and will lead the party’s organizing and electoral activities in Beaufort County.

Named to the Beaufort County Committee were David Atwell of Hilton Head Island, Robert Hooper of Bluffton, William Griffith of Ladys Island, Najmah Thomas of from St. Helena Island, and Charles Newton, also of St. Helena Island. Newton will serve as interim chairperson.

“The Forward Party has emerged

as a direct result of the polarization in the U.S. political system, at all levels,” Newton in a Dec. 20 media release. “More voters today describe themselves as ‘Independent” than ever before – 49% of the electorate according to a Gallup poll in April – a number equal to the total of those who say they are Republicans or Democrats.

“These centrist, independent voters, tired of politics as usu-

al and lack of choice at election time, are looking for a home.

The Forward Party is it,” Newton said, “and we are building a new party around voter concerns rather than top-down party dictates.”

The Forward Party is organizing in all 46 S.C. counties, and to date, has active committees in 14 counties representing 80% of the SC population – Greenville, Spartanburg, Lexington, York, Lan-

caster, Aiken, Edgefield, Richland, Florence, Horry, Georgetown, Berkeley, Charleston and Beaufort.

The Forward Party, first organized nationally in 2021, gained ballot access in S.C. in October.

The Party is not running a presidential candidate in 2024, but will instead focus on local contests and statewide electoral issues.

The Party seeks fundamental reform to restore trust in states’ electoral processes, including adoption of ranked-choice voting, open primaries and independent redistricting beyond the control of elected legislatures.

The Forward Party is nationally co-chaired by Andrew Yang, an American businessman, attorney, lobbyist, and politician who was a candidate in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary, and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, formerly a Republican and the first female head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING ROUNDUP

Battery Creek’s Elmer Linares is ranked No. 2 in the state in 3A at 126 pounds. LowcoSports.com

Rankings reveal balanced Region 8-3A

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com If the latest rankings released last week

by SCMAT.com are any indication, the battle for the Region 8-3A wrestling title is shaping up to be a good one.

Battery Creek came in at No. 14 in the updated Class 3A rankings, followed closely by Beaufort High at No. 15, with region rivals Hanahan and Philip Simmons right behind in 16th and 17th.

Battery Creek’s Elmer Linares (126) and Gunnar DeGroat (190) are both ranked second on the updated list, as is Beaufort’s Brandon Bolles (144).

DeGroat won the 152-pound title last season and has not lost in more than a calendar year, but he is ranked second to another returning champion in Gilbert’s Colton Travis, who has dropped down after winning at 195 a year ago.

Linares, the Class 3A runner-up at 120 pounds a year ago, is ranked behind Clin-

ton’s Blake Greenwood, who was the runner-up at 132 last season. Bolles checked in at No. 2 at 144 pounds, just behind Gilbert’s Jonathan Brentlinger, a three-time state qualifier and one-time placer.

Battery Creek’s Andrew Legree is third at 157, while Beaufort’s Antonio McKnight is fifth at 138, Calvin Garcia is seventh at 150, and Jaden Priester is eighth at 285.

Bucs duo cracks rankings

Despite a strong start to the season, Bridges Prep did not crack to the top 20 in the Class 2A/1A rankings, but the Bucs had two individuals make the list. Jeremiah Chavez checked in at No. 4 in the 285-pound class, while Kevin Summers is ranked fifth at 165.

Whale Branch did not have any wrestlers ranked in their weight classes, nor did the Warriors crack the top 20 in the statewide girls rankings despite capturing the team title at the Lowcountry Championship earlier this month.

State agency tries to fill gaps as access to mental health care declines in rural SC SC’s mental health agency looking to increase offerings to fill gaps left by an shortage of mental health professionals

By Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA — The number of psychiatrists in South Carolina’s rural counties has plummeted over the past decade, exacerbating a lack of access to mental health services.

Between 2009 and 2019, the number of psychiatrists in rural areas declined by one third, the state’s annual report on health issues found, using the most recent data available. Of the state’s 46 counties, 14 had no licensed psychiatrist or psychologist in private practice, and another nine had only one. In some areas, residents have to cross multiple counties to reach a psychiatrist’s office, according to the report released last week.

State programs have been working to fill in the gaps.

With public clinics, both stationary and mobile, across the state, the Department of Mental Health is seeking $3.6 million next year for programs that increase access to mental health care, officials said.

Around 20% of adults in the country have been diagnosed with a mental illness, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While no data definitively shows how many people in South Carolina have a mental illness, the suicide rate increased 18% between 2009 and 2018, according to the state health department’s most recently available data.

While psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as therapists and counselors, are similar, only psychiatrists can prescribe medication.

Some people are able to cope with mental health issues without medication.

But for others, medication, therapy or both can be lifesaving, said Brian Wingard, spokesperson for nonprofit S.C. Thrive, which focuses on promoting healthy living by connecting people with resources.

“Breathing exercises only get you so far,” Wingard said.

Healthcare Workforce, which compiled the data. In 2009, the state had 24 psychiatrists in its rural counties; in 2019, the latest data available, that number was down to 16.

While the number of psychiatrists dropped in rural counties, the number in urban counties — Richland, Greenville and Charleston — went up 28%. As a whole, the state had 25% more psychiatrists in 2019 than it did in 2009. That increase just didn’t translate to rural areas.

Even so, the Palmetto State has a shortage of psychiatrists, Gaul said.

That leaves people, particularly those in rural areas, with few options for routine mental health care. Nearly 350,000 people, or about 7% of the state’s population, have no access to a private psychiatrist or psychologist without leaving their home county.

Those people can travel to another, more urban county, but that’s not always feasible. Some people don’t have access to transportation.

Others might work full-time, preventing them from getting to offices that are often open only on weekdays. And some can’t afford the trip, especially not regularly, Wingard said.

“It’s just a massive challenge for folks to get the access to the mental health first aid they need in these areas,” Wingard said. “They’re sort of on an island.”

The shortage goes beyond South Carolina. In 2018, nearly half of all counties in the country lacked a psychiatrist, a University of Michigan study found. The problem does not have a quick fix, considering how long it takes to train a psychiatrist, Gaul said.

Psychiatrists typically spend about 12 years in school before entering the field, possibly more if they want to pursue a specialty area, Gaul said. That includes getting a graduate degree and completing a residency program.

“It’s not easy just to turn on the spigot and produce a lot more psychiaPsychiatrist shortage trists and psychologists,” The drop in psychiatrists Gaul said. “There’s a lot of in the state’s rural areas is lead-up time.” significant, but the number was not large in the first Telehealth place, said Katie Gaul, diTelehealth has been a big rector of the S.C.

Department of Health and Environmental Control eas, said Deborah Blalock, deputy director of the mental health department’s community services.

After the COVID-19 pandemic forced many offices to shutter, health professionals in all specialties started shifting to online appointments.

That means people based in places like Charleston, for example, can treat people across the state.

“I think telehealth is really the great equalizer in terms of where people live,” Blalock said.

But telehealth isn’t a fix-all.

Areas without psychiatrists are often the same ones with little to no high-speed internet, making it hard, if not impossible, to access online appointments.

Recent investments in the state’s broadband network have helped. The state has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, most from federal aid packages, into expanding internet access, much of it with the express purpose of promoting telehealth.

Still, more than 190,000 homes still lacked access to high-speed internet as of March. 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.

Plus, psychiatrists may have to monitor changes in a person’s body when they start a new medication or

change doses, which often requires hands-on work, like bloodwork and monitoring blood pressure, Gaul said.

“It also doesn’t help for people that really want to do an in-person visit but are limited to telehealth because there’s nobody around that they can go see, or it takes months and months to be able to get in to see someone,” Gaul said.

never used the department’s services before.

“It always surprises me because I’m like, ‘Well, we have clinics in all of these counties,’ yet people still aren’t making their way to the clinics,” Blalock said.

Both would cover every county in the state in an effort to ensure people have access to the resources they need, Blalock said.

“I think the philosophy of (the Department of Mental Health) is, we can provide the best services in the universe, but if people can’t access them, they’re worthless,” Blalock said. “So, our big focus is on access.”

Incentives encouraging mental health professionals to practice in rural areas, similar to those the state offered primary health doctors last year, could help address some of the disparity, Wingard said. But any programs can make a difference, he said.

“There are so many different obstacles and challenges and barriers in the way, so really any way that we can make some progress on it helps,” Wingard said.

SC among 5 Southern states topping nation’s population growth

Texas, Florida, NC, Georgia, SC added almost 1.2 million people among them this year

By Tim Henderson Stateline Southern states continued to get the lion’s share of new residents this year as Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina added almost 1.2 million people among them. The South was the only region that drew net new residents from other states.

Meanwhile, the national population grew by 1.6 million people from births and immigrants, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Tuesday, Dec. 19.

South Carolina had the largest percentage increase between mid-2022 and mid-2023, a 1.7% increase of about 91,000 residents, most of it from people moving in from other states. The Summerville area, inland from Charleston, has

been a magnet for movers, drawing hundreds of new residents each month, according to a Stateline analysis of change-of-address data from the U.S. Postal Service.

South Carolina also rose into the top five in terms of the number of new residents, as Arizona tumbled from that spot to No. 7, with growth of about 66,000 people.

Despite booming populations in coastal areas, rural parts of South Carolina are still expected to decline 15% to 30% over the next decade, the state predicts. Newcomers have helped offset an aging population that has seen more deaths than births, said Daniel Tompkins, a statistician at the state Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office.

In Texas, the one-year increase of about 473,000 includes hundreds of thousands of people moving in from other states and countries as well as new births. The state is drawing a large number of movers to fast-growing suburbs, where newcomers tend to be younger than Texans in general and more likely to have a college degree, said State

DECEMBER 28, 2023–JANUARY 3, 2024

Demographer Lloyd Potter.

“Like so many others, work brought us here,” said Jason Hall, who recently moved to Georgetown, Texas, an Austin exurb north of Round Rock.

“There is much more opportunity here than where we were before, Las Vegas, and you don’t have the crazy housing prices of California,” said Hall, a surgical assistant whose wife works for an online retailer. He added that suburban Georgetown reminds him of the South Texas area where he lived after leaving the Army 20 years ago.

“Georgetown still has that Texas feel that Austin kind of lost,” Hall said.

Georgetown has had some of the largest numbers of people moving in, according to the postal data for the period covered by the census estimates — the year ending July 1.

The destination list is dominated by Texas and Florida locales: In Texas, Georgetown as well as Katy and Conroe near Houston, and Aubrey and Prosper north of Dallas; in Florida, Port St. Lucie and Palm

Bay on the East Coast and Wesley Chapel, north of Tampa.

Florida’s population boom, about 365,000 between mid-2022 and mid-2023, has been made up mostly of people 50 and older moving to the state looking toward downsizing and retirement, while Texas has drawn more working-age people.

In other states, Henderson, Nevada, and Queen Creek, Arizona, have drawn many new movers.

Growth in popular Texas suburbs has been so fast that roads and other infrastructure have been strained, said Potter, the state demographer.

“They’re building big apartment buildings and single-family houses, really just as fast as they can,” Potter said. “With all the new people you need instant housing, but there’s going to be three cars in each of those driveways. It can take years for the infrastructure to catch up.”

The newcomers are more likely to have college degrees than those already living in Texas, Potter said.

The Lone Star State, like Florida, grew 1.6%.

In Florida, however, state officials

have said growth will slow over the next decade as baby boomers age out of the 50-70 age range that feeds most moves to the state.

The state’s fastest-growing counties as of April, when the state makes its own population estimates, are in north and central Florida, where retirement communities are concentrated, said Richard Doty, a research demographer for the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida.

Population dropped in eight states, down from 19 last year: New York, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Hawaii and West Virginia.

SC ranks worst in the nation in nursing home inspectors State has 190 nursing homes, just 1 functional state inspection team

By Jessica Holdman and Skylar Laird SCDailyGazette.com COLUMBIA – After a nurse at an Anderson nursing home noticed pain medication missing from the staff’s medical cart in February 2022, the nurse reported the missing narcotics. The state’s public health agency was called to investigate, but due to staffing shortages, it took state inspectors four months to respond, according to state records.

Meanwhile, at least three more complaints, including one instance where a patient was injured, stacked up against the Upstate home, Condor Health.

Statewide, there are about 190 nursing homes. The state agency tasked with regulating them has just one active inspection team that travels the state to check on them, though it’s close to activating a second. By federal law, each team of five must include a registered nurse, and that division of the state Department of Health and Environmental Control has just one nurse with the necessary credentials.

Even if it were fully staffed at one inspector for every 11 homes — the state-funded ratio a federal report relied on — it would still have the lowest ratio in the nation.

As a result, routine inspections required under federal law, as well as complaints requiring investigation, have piled up, according to the report published earlier this year by Democrats on the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging.

To fill holes, the state has increasingly relied on private contractors, a costly and potentially risky stopgap that opens up seniors and others in need of care to abuse and neglect, according to the report.

“It is a concern. But where are we going to get the people from?” state Sen. Katrina Shealy told the SC Daily Gazette.

The Lexington Republican has a history of standing up for vulnerable populations.

Still, even with help from contractors, backlogs remain. Federal law requires routine inspections for nursing homes every 16 months. As of Sept. 30, 2023, one-third of the Palmetto State’s 191 nursing homes went uninspected within the required time period, department spokesman said.

Backlog of complaints When inspectors arrived at Condor Health in June 2022 to investigate the missing drugs, they also found evidence backing up three other complaints: • A resident needed five staples in his head after falling in the facility’s dining room.

• Staff found a resident with dementia wandering the parking lot barefoot.

• A nurse found a resident — and possibly a nurse — drinking a beer even though alcohol is prohibited on the premises.

Altogether, state inspectors visited the Anderson nursing home 14 times between November 2020 and May 2023 for various

Screen shot of the front cover of a report released by the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging at the direction of Chairman Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania. complaints, though inspectors determined some were unfounded. It’s unclear whether all the complaints were filed immediately following the alleged incident, but in several cases, no one from the state investigated until months after the event.

Twice while inspectors were responding to complaints at Condor Health, they also conducted federally mandated certification reviews they had fallen behind on, state reports show.

A representative from the nursing home has not responded to a request from SC Daily Gazette for comment.

Under federal law, nursing homes must meet certain standards to continue receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding. States are responsible for inspecting facilities to make sure they qualify.

These routine reviews ensure residents are healthy, safe and not neglected. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, federal regulators have further tasked states with making sure nursing homes are keeping residents safe from infectious diseases.

Advocates say on-time inspections would likely prevent many of the issues that lead to complaints. Instead, states are playing catch-up after an incident happens. These lags open up residents to greater risk, the congressional report says.

At the same time, federal regulators have upped inspection requirements for nursing homes while federal funding to help pay for inspectors has remained stagnant for nearly four decades.

Shortage of inspectors A lack of inspectors is a problem across the country. In all, 27 states said they were behind on inspections due to staffing shortages, according to the congressional report.

But South Carolina had the largest staffing gap by far.

The state’s budgeted ratio of one state-employed inspector for every 11.8 nursing homes was roughly double the rate of several states with a similar number of facilities.

Compare that to a ratio of one inspector per 5.9 homes in Mississippi, 5.7 in Nebraska and 3.1 in Connecticut. In the southeast,

Alabama was at 4.5 nursing homes per inspector, Georgia was at 6.5 and North Carolina had 4.4.

“We were absolutely shocked to see how low we are (in the ranking), considering the fact that we are very much an age-friendly state that is very attractive to a retiree market,” said Charmaine Fuller Cooper, state director for the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).

The state has taken steps to improve since the congressional report was published in May. As of last week, South Carolina had 17 inspectors on staff, up from 11, but still just one functional team. The public health agency is in the process of getting a second nurse trained with the required inspection certification. Four other state-funded inspection positions are vacant.

A state law passed in May will divide the state’s massive Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) in two, with separate agencies for public health and environmental regulations. As the agency prepares to split, the health side will be seeking legislators’ permission to increase the number of nursing home inspectors to 30, a department spokesman said.

“South Carolina is in no way unique in facing the staffing and other challenges that our entire country face when it comes to inspections. These issues exist everywhere,” according to a statement from the agency.

“Like other states, we do the best with what we have and bring every resource to bear possible. Our inspectors are the front lines of patient care in these nursing facilities, and they approach that responsibility with the reverence, dedication and commitment our loved ones deserve.”

Lucrative contracts To get by, South Carolina and a growing number of other states have used private contracts to fill the gaps. But the report raised issues with these contract companies as well.

For one, they do not guarantee a set number of inspections. As more states use them, they too become overwhelmed. In its correspondence with national lawmakers, South Carolina noted one of the largest drawbacks to using contractors is having to wait for their availability.

That means states are getting less bang for their buck. The report claims private contracts cost states more money than doing the surveys themselves. And complaints can rack up while states wait for contract inspectors to become available.

This year, South Carolina’s public health agency signed three, two-year contracts worth about $6 million with outside contractors. Teams of contractors completed about 7% of the state’s inspections between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, or about 100 random inspections and complaint investigations, a spokesman said.

And because only three main companies provide these specialized, high-demand services — Ascellon, CertiSurv and Healthcare Management Solutions — states have little power to negotiate how much they pay.

The cost of a survey is much less when performed by state employees, an agency spokesman said.

The starting pay for registered nurses employed by the agency ranges from $77,000 to $80,000 annually. Based on that pay scale and number of reviews conducted, the state can spend as little as $325 per inspection.

Also, because of the steep competition for specially certified nurses, these private contractors are luring workers away from the state, further compounding the problem.

There is already a great need for nurses nationwide. South Carolina has one of the most significant projected nursing shortages, resulting in the need for 10,400 more nurses to meet demand through 2030, according to a study by the University of South Carolina.

What’s next?

The congressional report isn’t the only document giving South Carolina low marks for nursing homes.

AARP also ranked South Carolina among the nation’s worst for long-term care support.

Its report, released in September, takes into account the number of nursing homes in a state, as well as their affordability, quality, support for caregivers outside of facilities and how often people in facilities interact with those outside.

Fuller Cooper, the AARP’s state director, called on the Legislature to take a closer look at ways to encourage more inspectors to apply, along with addressing issues plaguing the nursing homes themselves, such as staffing shortages.

“We need to make sure that there’s a sense of urgency from our elected officials,” Fuller Cooper said.

Sen. Tom Davis, who sits on the Senate Medical Affairs committee, believes restructuring of the state agency overseeing nursing homes will help.

Once lawmakers have a better idea of the agencies’ needs, they can start allocating money accordingly, the Beaufort Republican said. A consulting company is in the process of analyzing what the state will need to do as it splits its environmental and health agency in two.

“This report will just be something else that we have to look at and consider when we’re deciding how to appropriate a finite amount of dollars,” Davis said.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Options & References for a Healthier Life

Where to begin: Advice on maintaining resolutions

Bad habits that keep you from optimal health such as smoking, drinking or overeating don't have to follow you into the New Year.

You must prepare yourself psychologically, however, if you don't want them hanging around for another 12 months.

Experts agree that no matter how stubborn a habit you've developed, there are ways to break negative patterns and keep healthy resolutions throughout the New Year. The trick is to keep everything in perspective.

You need to focus on realistic goals with measurable results. A positive way to do this is to break things down into small steps that you can manage.

For example, instead of trying to lose 50 pounds, focus on losing five pounds at a time. And instead of trying to lose five pounds a week, focus on losing a pound a week. Create bite-sized jobs for yourself that you'll be able to accomplish. If your goal is too big, you'll feel defeated before you even get started.

When deciding on your New Year's resolutions, it is easy to get swept up in hopeful yearning. As the clock ticks away the final minutes of the old year, the excitement of it all can be intoxicating. You believe you'll be able to tackle your goals effortlessly.

But after the rush of New Year's celebration fades and reality sets in, your ambitions can once again seem insurmountable.

The key to achieving even your most lofty goals is to get started

immediately.

Action precedes motivation, not the other way around. People often think that they should wait until they are motivated to start doing something good for themselves. They'll say, 'I'll start that diet or fitness program when I'm really well rested and have a lot of energy'. But it doesn't work that way."

Once you initiate an action—the smallest of actions—you pick up momentum and you'll realize 'hey, this isn't so bad' and it will be a lot easier to keep moving forward, and to stay motivated.

Additional tips to help you reach your goals: • Avoid perfectionist thinking. While we certainly always want to better ourselves, it is healthier to think in positive terms than it is to focus on how much we fall short of our aspirations. In other words, students should view the grade of an A- as better than a B, rather than not as good as an A. • View setbacks as lessons for growth. Mistakes can be and usually are opportunities for learning. If you fall short of your goals, ask yourself what kept you from achieving them and then try to make corrections. People who like to sail understand this navigational concept. You almost never go directly from point A to point B. You set a course and periodically take readings of your position then adjust as you go

along.

• Don't make absolute resolutions. Keep them realistic.

For example, instead of saying you won't yell at your kids anymore, resolve to yell at them less often.

• Don't keep your resolutions to yourself. Tell someone you trust about your resolutions, that it helps to share your goals with friends, who can gently nudge you in the right direction when you veer off course.

• Give them some meaning.

People sometimes make goals

that aren't necessarily meaningful to them. Your goal should be something you really desire to change or achieve, not something that society says is good for you to do or your family members would like to see you do. If you don't have strong, internal motivation within yourself, you won't be successful.

• Take baby steps. Set realistic goals that are attainable and then take small steps that are likely to be met with success toward those goals. Don't try to lose 10 pounds in a week

or quit smoking cold turkey with no preparation. Instead, try joining a weight loss program and try to lose a pound a week, or join a smoking cessation group.

And while you’re at it, fine-tune your spirituality. It is important to add a spiritual dimension to your goals. For example, if one of your goals is to get fit, you may also resolve to get outdoors more often instead of going to the gym.

Time outside will help you get in balance with nature and will honor both the physical and spiritual sides of yourself.

Is diet soda bad for you? Know the health risks You may be looking for a way to keep extra calories and sugar intake under control. You stock up on diet sodas, believing they are a better alternative to sugared sodas. But… there may be serious health risks of drinking too much diet soda. It may increase the risk of heart conditions, metabolic issues, brain conditions, and liver problems.

Numerous studies have found a link between drinking too much diet soda and having serious health conditions, including diabetes, fatty liver, dementia, heart disease, and stroke.

Diet soda is soda that mimics the taste of traditional soda but provides less or no sugar.

Diet soda uses artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin or aspartame, to achieve the same sweet taste. Soda manufacturers often claim that diet soda is more healthful than regular soda and that it is an ideal choice for people trying to lose weight. Consequently, many people see diet soda as a better choice.

A growing body of evidence suggests that diet soda consumption correlates with an increased risk of a wide range of medical conditions, notably: • heart conditions, such as heart attack and high blood pressure • metabolic issues, including diabetes and obesity • brain conditions, such as dementia and stroke • liver problems, which

include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease Many studies of people who drink soda have been extensive and spanned many years. However, few studies have fully controlled for other risk factors that might lead to chronic health issues, such as being overweight or having a sedentary lifestyle.

Therefore, they may not account for the fact that people who drink soda might have more health issues independent of their beverage choices. For example, a person might be drinking diet soda because they have a high body mass index (BMI) and are trying to lose weight. Or, people who regularly drink soda may be more likely to eat certain types of food, which may pose health risks.

Researchers do not know exactly why diet sodas may increase the risk of disease.

Some believe that diet sodas might damage blood vessels or cause chronic inflammation.

Diet sodas may also undermine health by changing other habits. A 2012 study suggests that diet soda may change how the brain responds to sweet flavors by affecting dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in pleasure, motivation, and reward. Frequently drinking diet soda might cause a person to crave more sweets, including both sweet snacks and more soda.

What the research says: Many studies have linked diet soda consumption to worse health outcomes. The researchers behind a 2017 study gathered data that indicated a link between diet soda and the risk of stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. The study involved 2,888 people over the age of 45 years. The results showed that drinking one diet soda per day almost tripled a person’s risk of stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Early research suggested that there might be a link between artificial sweeteners

and cancer. However, subsequent research has either found no link or called into question data that initially linked artificial sweeteners to cancer. So, while there are plenty of reasons to avoid diet soda, cancer risk may not be among them.

Are there any health benefits of diet soda?

Drinking diet soda does not provide any direct health benefits. However, it may offer some people a way to reduce their consumption of sugary beverages.

People who wean themselves off sweetened sodas by drinking diet sodas can significantly reduce their sugar intake. They can then begin to transition to more healthful drinks, such as sparkling water.

Some analysts, especially those with ties to the soda industry, insist that there is no compelling evidence directly linking soda to poor health. Others insist that diet soda remains a health-

ful alternative to traditional soda, despite the evidence to the contrary.

The authors of a 2016 analysis noted that 26 studies found no link between soda consumption and worse health outcomes. However, those studies had received funding from companies in the soda industry. This fact, the authors of the study argue, suggests that the soda industry is “manipulating contemporary scientific processes to create controversy and advance their business interests at the expense of the public’s health.”

How to cut down: To cut down on diet soda, a person needs to understand why they drink soda and then find a viable alternative.

For some people, soda offers a quick caffeine jolt.

Switching to coffee or tea may be a good alternative as both of these drinks provide several health benefits. The best choice is unsweetened coffee or tea. Milk can offer some sweetness without the extra sugar.

People who like bubbly carbonated drinks can find the same fizzy quality in seltzer water, or carbonated water. Unflavored, unsweetened seltzer waters do not contain artificial sweeteners and are typically calorie free.

If the appeal of soda is in its sweetness, a person can try indulging in natural foods instead. Sweet whole fruits, such as peaches, mangoes, apples, and berries, offer a quick dose of natural sugar without many of the health risks of soda.

Enjoying diet soda in moderation is less harmful than drinking it daily. People who cannot or do not wish to quit drinking diet soda can still reduce their risk of health issues by drinking less of it.

In summary, research has linked a wide range of health risks to drinking diet soda. Despite it being a low or zero calorie beverage, it may still increase the risk of conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

Diet soda offers no health benefits other than functioning as a tool that people can use to wean themselves off regular soda.

While the precise relationship between diet soda and medical conditions is uncertain and requires more research, it is clear that people should not see diet soda as a healthful alternative to sugary drinks.

The basics of boosting metabolism

Men and women looking to shed a few pounds and keep those pounds off often look for ways to boost their metabolisms. Some may not know just what metabolism means, and though it is a complicated combination of processes, metabolism is perhaps best explained as the sum of those processes, each of which is instituted to convert food into energy. So, it's no surprise that so many people, especially men and women whose metabolisms have begun to slow down, want to boost their metabolism and turn that food into energy more quickly.

Though metabolism is a collection of complicated processes, boosting metabolism can be rather easy. The following are a handful of ways to do so, which can help men and women reach their fitness goals.

• Eat the right foods and eat more often. Many adults have been turned on to the concept of grazing, an approach to diet where you eat small portions of food every two to three hours instead of the more traditional three square meals per day.

But grazing is only effective when men and women eat the right foods. Each small meal should still have nutritional value just as if it were a large meal. When eating smaller

meals, include healthy sources of protein and fiber. Vegetables tend to be especially beneficial because they are high in fiber, a nondigestible carbohydrate that is hard for the body to break down. As the body works hard to break down fiber, it's burning energy and boosting its metabolism along the way. Fish is another potentially beneficial food for those looking to boost their metabolisms, as studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils increase the levels of fat-burning enzymes in the body while decreasing the body's level of fat-storage enzymes.

• Eating more often benefits the body because doing so stimulates metabolism, reassuring the body that food will be coming on a regular basis.

When meals are skipped or there are long intervals between meals, the body reacts as if it might run out of food and begins to store fat.

• Add some lean muscle. Lean muscle can boost metabolism, so a workout dominated by cardiovascular exercise won't have as positive an impact on metabolism as one that includes a combination of weight training and aerobic exercise.

When muscles are worked hard, the body needs to work hard to recover and rebuild those muscles, burning more calories and boosting metabolism as a result.

• Don't believe everything you read or hear. Suggestions abound as to ways to significantly improve metabolism.

Unfortunately, many of these suggestions boost metabolism but not enough to help people lose weight, which is the ultimate goal of many people looking to boost their metabolisms. For example, green tea has its proponents who feel it can have a significant impact on metabolism thanks to EGCG, a compound found in the tea that has been proven to elevate metabolism. However, the impact of EGCG on boosting metabolism is negligible, and therefore won't make much of an impact on a person's weight. The same can be said about capsaicin, an active component found in chili peppers that some feel boosts metabolism enough to promote weight loss. Though capsaicin can boost metabolism slightly, studies have shown that influence is not significant enough to affect a person's weight.

• Don't get too comfortable.

Strength training to build lean muscle is one of the ways men and women can boost their metabolisms.

Modern technology may be a reason why waist sizes are getting bigger. Heating and cooling systems may be must-have items, but when the body is too comfortable, it burns less energy to stay warm in the winter or comfortably cool in the summer. A study from the National Institute of Health Clinical Center found that people who slept in a room kept at 66 F burned 7 percent more calories than those who slept in a room at 75 F. Sleeping in a cooler room may just be the easiest way for men and women to boost their metabolisms.

Boosting metabolism and shedding extra pounds is a goal for many men and women. But while metabolism is a complex set of processes, the various ways to effectively boost that metabolism can be quite simple.

Taking multivitamins

Walk into any drug store or health food store and you'll see shelves of multivitamins promising to keep you healthy and strong.

Should you take one and if so, how do you decide which is the best one for you?

In general, if you eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, along with whole grains and low-fat dairy products, you may not need to take a supplement.

If you decide to take a multivitamin, look for one that meets the following criteria: • 100 percent or more of the Daily Value (DV) for most vitamins and minerals.

• More isn't necessarily better—avoid products that have 10,000 or more International Units (IU) of vitamin A and/or 1,000 or more IU of vitamin E—both of these vitamins are fat-soluble meaning

your body can store them and too much in your body can be dangerous.

• If you are a pre-menopausal woman, look for a multivitamin that has 18 milligrams of iron; men and post-menopausal women need 8-10 milligrams per day.

• If you take a medication to thin your blood or if you have ever been advised to watch your vitamin K intake, check with your doctor to see how much is safe to take in a multivitamin.

• If a multivitamin does not contain 100 percent of the DV of calcium, don't worry about

it. Try to eat foods rich in calcium (dairy products and leafy green vegetables) or take a separate calcium supplement.

Remember, it's always best to get vitamins and minerals from food. Use a multivitamin as a supplement, not as a replacement.

and families in reading.

The focus of the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading program is elementary schoolaged children in Grades 1 through 3. The two organizations seek tutors who can volunteer as little as two hours a week during the school year. The third partner is the Beaufort County School District (BCSD) as the tutoring is done in selected county schools.

United Way of the Lowcountry President and CEO Dale Douthat, together with United Way’s Vice President of Education Impact Betha-

ny Marcinkowski, presented Rotarians an informational briefing that showed that children must learn their reading skills before entering the 4th Grade, if they are to master this skill.

The $5,000 grant presented by Rotary Club of Beaufort President Barry Wilson, represents a joint grant from the club and Rotary International’s District 7770.

Polaris Tech welcomes community to new K-5 elementary wing From staff reports With two kindergarten students and two seniors helping cut the red ribbon, Polaris Tech Charter School leaders Thursday night, Dec. 21, celebrated the fast-growing school’s expansion to serve elementary grades.

“In five years, the time it takes for a child to be born and enter kindergarten, Polaris Tech has grown from serving about 300 middle and high school students to almost 550 learners from kindergarten through 12th Grade,” said retired Air Force Gen. Lloyd “Fig” Newton, chair of the school’s board of directors and one of its founders.

“What started as a dream to offer options to Lowcountry families is fast becoming a rising, soaring school success story,” he said.

“Polaris Tech uses a project-based learning model that we find hooks the students into being more interested in their daily schoolwork,” Executive Di-

rector and co-founder Kim Statler said.

“We found great success with that model for our middle and high school students, but we also were dealing with their challenges in the core subjects of reading and math,” she said. “We are moving to solve that shortcoming by offering Polaris

Tech to all the grades, starting at kindergarten.”

Polaris Tech is a state-approved charter school serving K-12 students from Jasper County and the Lowcountry. It is a free school (no tuition), that focuses on preparing young people for successful work and college.

Chris Neeley, superintendent of the South Carolina Public Charter School District, joined Polaris Tech with John Payne, chairman of the state charter board, at the ribbon cutting.

The Polaris Tech academic emphasis is on six career areas, starting with: Aerospace, Health Sciences and Business Management.

Polaris Tech continues to accept student applications for the upcoming school year for students in grades K-12 and families can apply online at www.polaristech.org.

The school is located on Grays Highway across from the Ridgeland-Claude Dean Airport. Young people from Jasper, Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort counties attend.

Clemson 2nd SC university to rename equity and inclusion office

By Jessica Holdman SCDailyGazette.com CLEMSON – Clemson University renamed its equity and inclusion office following leadership changes, making it the second major college in South Carolina to drop language that has become politically charged in the past year.

As of last week, the new name of Clemson’s department is the Division of Community Engagement, Belonging and Access.

The rebranding reflects an expansion of the office and its responsibilities, said Felicia Benton-Johnson, vice president for diversity and inclusive excellence, who stepped in to head the division in March.

“It’s becoming broader,” Benton-Johnson said.

Benton-Johnson is laying plans to grow existing programs and add to the division’s responsibilities. For that reason, she said the terms “inclusion and equity” were too “narrowly focused.”

“That doesn’t encompass everything that we’re doing,” she said.

Changes to the Upstate college’s equity and inclusion division come four months after the University of South Carolina struck “diversity, equity and inclusion” from its own cabinet-level office. It also changed the title of its leader, Julian Williams, to vice president of access, civil rights and community engagement.

Unlike her USC counterpart, Benton-Johnson retained the phrasing in her title.

When USC made the change, spokesman Jeff Stensland told The Post and Courier, it was to “better align existing areas.”

All of this has taken place against a backdrop of national and state-level political attacks on the phrase. Florida governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has boasted about banning “diversity, equity and inclusion,” or DEI, language at the state’s public universities.

In South Carolina’s Legislature, the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus launched a failed attempt during the House budget debate in March to pull state funding for salaries or programs that support DEI, resulting in a lengthy GOP-versus-GOP floor fight. Ultimately, Republicans not in the Freedom Caucus swatted down the proposals, calling them sloppy and the timing inappropriate, as they struck money from the colleges but didn’t necessarily touch the programs.

Rep. R.J. May, a Freedom Caucus co-founder, said he doesn’t care what universities call their DEI programs.

If the objectives remain the same, his caucus will continue to oppose them, said the Lexington Republican.

“DEI seeks to divide us based on the color of our skin and that’s wrong,” May said.

pressures across the country and possible impacts on institutions.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last summer striking down the consideration of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action, the impacts have rippled beyond academia, prompting lawsuits against private corporations.

But politics are not the only reason for the shift.

“I would say that it has a bearing but that it’s not the full bearing,” Benton-Johnson said.

Nationally, DEI work is becoming more “all encompassing,” Benton-Johnson said, and groups are making name swaps to reflect that.

At Clemson, Benton-Johnson said her team will work alongside other departments on degree accreditation and research grants.

To gain accreditation for new degree programs, colleges are required to show how they’ll broaden participation and be inclusive as part of the approval process with the accrediting agencies, she said.

Clemson also has the goal of doubling its research load. The National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Education also have made inclusion a part of federal grant applications, Benton-Johnson said.

“In order for us to get these re‘All encompassing’ search dollars, we have to have a Benton-Johnson, who has ‘broadening participation’ area,” worked in the DEI field for 25 she said. years, acknowledged the political Before, a lot of faculty were left

DECEMBER 28, 2023–JANUARY 3, 2024

to do this work on their own. Benton-Johnson said her office will help make the process more institutionalized and less ad hoc.

Finally, the newly named Division of Community Engagement, Belonging and Access will continue to aid community programs, such as hosting science and math camps for middle and high school students and taking Clemson’s mobile health care unit into rural communities that need it.

“Clemson has so much going on and so many times people think, when we’re talking about inclusive excellence work, it just centers around diversity,” Benton-Johnson said. “But it goes beyond that.”

‘Work we have to do’ Still, political pushback is likely to continue.

Following similar requests by Republican-dominated Legislatures in other states, South Carolina lawmakers required in February that colleges report their DEI spending to the Commission on Higher Education.

Clemson spends $2.5 million on employees and programming. The university employs 21 DEI staff members and historically has run seven commissions representing various races, genders, sexual orientations and disabilities within its equity and inclusion division.

USC spends $2.1 million on salaries for staff and training across its entire university system, with majority of that centered at its Columbia campus.

“We’re wasting millions of state dollars on programs that divide rather than bring us together,” May said.

Politicians opposed to this programming argue hiring and admissions decisions should be merit-based. They’ve said training on unconscious bias and anti-racism are being forced on university staff and students, influencing grading, hiring and evaluation practices.

“At the very heart of it, it is modern-day, reverse racism.” May said.

Benton-Johnson said DEI work is focused on making all people feel as if they belong and are valued.

May said House leadership has promised a vote on a Freedom Caucus-sponsored bill that stops colleges from mandating participation in DEI training. If a vote is not held, May said the caucus will again push to strike DEI spending from the budget.

Even if attempts to pull state funding are successful, Benton-Johnson said equity and inclusion efforts are likely to remain, with faculty taking it on at an individual level within their programs and research.

“No matter what, the work is going to continue, because the people who are doing the work are passionate,” she said. “As a society, this is work we have to do.”

Mayor Phillips wants answers on port

I

t is Saturday, and I’m in Port Royal. This morning I have my coffee and news that Mayor Kevin Phillips has sent a letter to Safe Harbor — the Port’s owner/ developer — citing “concerns.”

In August we learned there is a problem with arsenic in the old rail bed that cuts through the center of the proposed Neighborhood Bluff subdivision. The Beach Company — the Charleston-based builder — now believes it (or Safe Harbor) should retain ownership of the tract, and rent houses, so it can better handle remediation.

Many years ago, when I was still unformed and largely uninformed, I worked at the Medical University of South Carolina. And in those faded days I worked for Dr. Jack Finklea (who would later run the EPAs primary laboratory in Raleigh) recruiting people who could be tested for trace amounts of lead and arsenic.

In those days, there was lead in old paint and that lead would sometimes flake from interior walls and eventually wind up in the tissue of children — espe-

cially children in Charleston’s Black community. The arsenic we sought (to measure) originated in the pesticides that cotton farmers applied in their fields east of Orangeburg.

My task was to convince farmers and their families to collect their urine — in mason jars — over a week’s time. Then I would drive up to Calhoun County every Saturday morning collecting those still-warm-to-the-touch jars hauling them back to the Medical College for analysis.

In the 1970s the application of pesticides was as important as the application of phosphorous.

All of which brings me to an article, published in the New Yorker last February, titled “Phosphorous

Saved Our Way of Life — And Now Threatens to End It” by Elizabeth Kolbert.

Ms. Kolbert says that phosphorous (along with nitrogen) is absolute essential for growing everything we eat. Most of our domestic phosphorous is mined in Florida, and that supply may be gone in 30 years. When that happens we will have to rely upon Morocco and compete with the rest of the world’s farmers for this finite element.

All of this was interesting to me because once — in the late 1800s — a huge amount of Phosphate rock was shipped out of Port Royal. The rock that we “mined” in Beaufort County came from nodules located on the bottom of the shallow tidal waterways surrounding St. Helena, Morgan and Coosaw islands.

“Manual laborers, with little more than a rope tied around the mid-section dove from the sides of boats to extract the precious nodules from the river beds.” That rock was then washed, processed and then barged over to docks in Port Royal.

Although there is cadmium in phosphate, there is no indication that this heavy metal accumulated in the Port Royal dirt. But there was a railroad connecting Port Royal to Augusta and that railroad track probably used railroad ties that may have been saturated with chromated copper arsenate; and It is possible that some of the arsenate leached into the ground.

Pitchfork Ben Tillman, the fire-breathing Governor who single-handedly disenfranchised the Black population in South Carolina, believed that the Lowcountry phosphate companies were not paying an adequate tax. He upped the state tax from $1 a ton to $2 a ton, then sued the industry, and with an assist from a huge, welltimed hurricane (in 1893) sent the nascent phosphate-mining industry to Florida.

By the time that my wife and I arrived in Port Royal (1980), the port was used for the shipment of kaolin — a naturally occurring clay that was used in the making of polished paper. The kaolin came in railroad cars that often coated the townspeople with a

dust. But there was nothing toxic about this dust although housewives complained it colored their sheets as they hung on the line.

Mayor Phillips doesn’t believe that 239 rentals — adjacent an existing, small-house neighborhood — is a good idea, and Council has just mailed a letter (to Safe Harbor) saying so.

“Council has significant concerns about a ‘build to rent’ project and adamantly opposes such proposal for the Bluff Neighborhood and Ribaut Village.”

Mayor Phillips then asks, “Why is the Beach Company still involved in the project; (b) does Safe Harbor have any contractual duties or obligations to sell a portion of the Property to The Beach Company; (c) has Safe Harbor had conversations with any other developers regarding the Bluff Neighborhood or Ribaut Village ...”

The Mayor wants answers by January 12, 2024.

Justice through the Jury Form

outh Carolina juries may assign financial responsibility to compensate the injured only to those listed on the Jury Form. But what if all at-fault parties aren't on it?

The answer is: The legislature has said it doesn't matter. The jury must account for 100% of fault, but only to those listed, no matter their degree of fault. We disagree, and it’s costing all of you.

We call on the legislature to close these doors of injustice, then re-open them to transparency, accountability, and responsibility so the jury can properly perform their constitutionally mandated duty.

Here's how the injury lawsuit game is played. The first move in lawyers' vehicle accident playbook is to find out how much insurance might be on the table and who's got it. They cal-

unpredictable. The market is roiling with companies leaving or limiting coverage and pricing-in this uncertainty across all lines, consumer and commercial.

With every movement, each link in a product or service's supply chain adds this insidious additional compounding cost.

This predicament was ruled into law by a progressive-minded 1991 State Supreme Court and lingers due to flawed 2005 “compromise” legislation.

In 2017 a different set of justices split over the bill’s intent and technicalities, but seemed to imply the status quo isn't necessarily good, fair public policy.

This time they deferred to the legislature to clarify and close the defective process.

Senate Bill 533, the "S.C. Justice Act" would answer that challenge by bringing

accountability to the public record so juries can dispatch justice without prejudice via a complete Jury Form listing all at-fault parties. Its sponsors include the Senate's president, its majority leader, every committee chairman but one, and a brave no-nonsense, non-lawyer Democrat. A majority sponsors.

However, entrenched interests threaten to filibuster. They would stifle the state's legislative agenda to block this critical reform.

Our modern, complex, interconnected economy needs attorneys. But the current system is wickedly unfair and perversely incentivizes the monetization of mistakes.

Inaction has provoked a crisis for some and a slow but intensifying burn for others simply due to the nature of their operations.

Certainly, a vicious con-

frontational cycle for all.

No conservative can call this responsible. No liberal can call this justice.

Our Senate must resolve to cure this specific injustice immediately upon convening in January by adopting fair-share doctrines like our sister states.

This will help preserve South Carolinians' names on the doors of businesses and vehicles, and level not only our courtrooms, but the competitive playing field. Then, they owe a study of the whole "system."

We have a new slogan: "Nothing Without Trucking." And there is nothing our legislature can do in 2024 that will have a more positive impact on public trust and social inflation than to “Fix the Jury Form.”

Christmas brings out the Scrooge in politicians, but the best in most South Carolinians

I

t’s Christmastime, and some politicians are honoring this holy season by doing their best impersonation of the unrepentant Scrooge.

A few scenes from South Carolina’s Dickensian nightmare: • More than 63,000 South Carolina children have been dropped from the Medicaid rolls in recent months.

• Nutritional benefits for low-income South Carolina families were slashed by 26% this year.

• In the past year, members of South Carolina’s congressional delegation — the people we trust to have our backs — have voted against heating assistance, caps on the price of insulin and the expanded child tax credit, among other family benefits.

• Meanwhile, South Carolina remains one of only 10 states in the nation that refuse to expand Medicaid, which could provide health care coverage for an additional 350,000 low-income South Carolinians.

Christmas 2023 finds many Americans at the best of times and many others at the worst of times, to paraphrase Dickens.

The top 1% of American earners now own more wealth than the entire middle class. On the other end of the economic scale, homelessness hit a record high after a dramatic increase of 12% this year, including 7% among veterans.

What to make of all of this?

One thing is certain: South Carolinians, like most Americans, are not so ungenerous as the people who often represent us.

You can find the true spirit of South Carolinians in the Salvation Army bell-ringers at your local Walmart, the folks raising

money for Toys for Tots, the people restocking the shelves in your local food banks, and in your local United Way campaigns.

Christmas brings out the best in South Carolinians. Maybe we can eventually bring our politicians around, too.

December is the season of outsized generosity. Almost one-third of annual charitable donations take place during this month alone. Yes, some of that has to do with tax breaks, but I believe for most people it’s all about the Christmas spirit.

As Dickens put it in A Christmas Carol: “I have always thought of Christmastime as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women open their shut-up hearts freely, and think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”

Americans love A Christmas Carol. Theater groups across the nation perform the stage adapta-

tion of Dickens’ classic as ballet troupes dance “The Nutcracker” and choral ensembles offer Handel’s “Messiah.” In America, these three works have become a mandatory part of many holiday celebrations.

They speak to the sacredness (“Messiah”), the joy and magic (“Nutcracker”), and the kindness and generosity (“Carol”) of Christmas.

I caught a fine production of “Carol” recently at Clemson’s Little Theatre. The entire run was sold out.

No surprise there. Dickens’ story of the callous miser who is redeemed through the intervention of three spirits, written by an Englishman in 1843, reminds Americans of the better angels of our nature, helping us to focus our minds and hearts on the things that really matter: friendship, family, and caring for those who struggle.

One of Dickens’ great themes centers on the family of humanity, an idea that holds great appeal for a democratic country whose founding motto was “E pluribus

unum” (“Out of the many, one”).

Yes, Americans seem fiercely divided these days, but the American spirit (“One nation, under God, indivisible”) seeks to bring us together. Perhaps the most striking moment in “Carol” is when the allegorical children called “Ignorance” and “Want” take the stage. These two things, Dickens warns us, spell doom for any society: poverty and the willful ignorance of the suffering of others.

We love Dickens’ “Carol” because it reminds us of what we know so well: that we shall be judged by how we treat the least among us.

Just a good ol’ boy, never meaning no harm

omebody might want to check actor John Schneider for chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Even though the disease CTE is typically associated with professional football players who endure head injuries throughout their careers, I have to wonder if the former “Dukes of Hazzard” television star might’ve taken one too many bumps when he and his castmates were jumping creeks in the General Lee. Last week this guy had the nerve to post on social media platform X (formally known as Twitter): “Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung [sic]. Your son too. Your response is..?

Sincerely, John Schneider.”

(Insert Waylon Jennings voiceover: There's trouble and then there’s trouble, and the trouble with some trouble is at first it don’t look like trouble.)

President Biden didn’t respond, but guess who did: The Secret Service. And who couldn’t have seen that coming? You can’t threaten

B

So let’s look at what Schneider said.

He said believes the president is guilty of treason (a crime punishable by death) and should be hung alongside his son, Hunter Biden, in a public manner. He TERRY MANNING then alludes to threats by other celebrities (perhaps comedian Kathy Griffin’s the president! There is a infamous photo of herself law saying that, and any rea- with a mask of then-Presisonable person would think dent Donald Trump covered that calling for a public in fake blood?) as if that hanging of the president might give him cover. would fall under the umAt the very least he should brella of making a threat. have thought about what Schneider said he made happened to Griffin’s career no such threat, telling Dead- after her 2017 stunt. Trump line, “It’s my position, which himself tweeted, “Kathy I am entitled to have, that Griffin should be ashamed some of our nations [sic.] of herself. My children, esleaders in Washington have pecially my 11-year-old son lost their way, and corrupBarron, are having a hard tion runs rampant, both time with this. Sick!” on our nation’s borders (Insert Waylon Jennings and abroad. … I absolutely voiceover: That little lady did not call for an act of needs a good spanking.) violence or threaten a U.S. She posted an apology president as many other video saying, “I am a comic. celebrities have done in the I crossed the line. I moved past. I suggest you re-read the line, then I crossed it. I my actual post and pay atwent way too far.” But it was tention to the words before too little, too late. believing this nonsense.”

CBS News reported in

Words matter. Schneider deleted his post, but not before it went viral. Not before getting the attention of the Secret Service and who knows what other federal agencies. He’ll cry about how he’s being unfairly singled out, but he will be treated the same way you or I would be treated if we threatened the president.”

2019 that Griffin had a comedy tour canceled, lost endorsement deals, was put on the federal no-fly list, and was fired from a job co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage with longtime friend Anderson Cooper.

She received death threats and was investigated by the Secret Service and the Department of Justice.

She told CBS News, “To be honest, he broke me.”

People like Schneider who play the “what about” game never follow through on what they view as exonerating comparisons. They compare their offense to others’, but don’t think they deserve comparable repercussions.

What did he say? “It’s

my position, which I am entitled to have.” He’s right.

Know who else said that?

Kathy Griffin: “[I] didn’t violate the First Amendment, didn't break the law.”

Still, she paid a price.

A lot of people think they can vent on social media without fear of consequences due to freedom of speech.

How many times does it have to be said, that is not the case? Words matter.

Schneider deleted his post, but not before it went viral. Not before getting the attention of the Secret Service and who knows what other federal agencies.

He’ll cry about how he’s being unfairly singled out, but he will be treated the

same way you or I would be treated if we threatened the president.

Schneider likely won’t be hit as hard as Griffin, though. He’s got a nation of Trump supporters who will wrongly defend him. They will make sure he doesn’t get canceled for making what sounded like a threat worth scrutinizing.

Of him — and them — all I have to say is: (Insert Waylon Jennings voiceover: Those boys sure do have a pitiful grasp on reality.)

eing a military veteran and homeless for the holidays in Beaufort is dispiriting.

Maybe it’s tucking in the kids in the backseat of your car parked for the night in the Walmart parking lot. Or sleeping alone under a bridge. Or overstaying your welcome at a Buddy’s place.

We say these things should never happen to those who have served our country, but all too often that dream is ephemeral.

For “Snipe” it meant staying with his wife and son in his house for which he had missed numerous mortgage payments … without heat, electricity or water.

“When I say we had no food, I mean with no electricity for the refrigerator you can’t keep food,” he explained to me last week.

For “MP” it meant being jobless and feeling helpless and dangerously depressed while bunking in with his wife and child at his mother-in-law’s place where increasingly he felt that he was a burden.

The stories of MP and Snipe are real stories. Because each of

BILL RAUCH

these veterans of U.S. military service spoke to me on the basis that I would not use their names, I have for the purposes of this column assigned to them these noms de guerre.

MP served a five year tour in the U.S. Army as a military policeman. In the months prior to his discharge he was assigned to an active zone where live fire was commonplace. As it does with many, the regular, dangerous and jarring events there caused for him later recurring anxiety and depression.

Yet he was proud, too proud at first to seek help. Finally, with the desperate helplessness dominating his mind, MP reached out

to his former platoon sergeant, whom he trusted. The sergeant urged him to register with the Veteran’s Administration (VA).

“I didn’t want to,” MP told me last week. “There were so many others, I thought, that deserved the care more than I did. I didn’t want to get in front of them in the line.”

But it turned out to be a good thing MP did that day for himself and his family. His VA Coordinator put him in touch with S.C. Works, the South Carolina state agency that coordinates the efforts of several state social service agencies to help match employers with prospective employees.

MP went over to S.C. Works’ offices on Castle Rock Road in Port Royal where he met with the Military Coordinator there, Michael Haskins. Haskins took on his case and it wasn’t long before MP had himself a good job as a manager at a local fast food restaurant. The distraction of the constant calls on MP’s attention that the job provides, and knowing his family

is taken care of has, MP told me last week “mitigated his depression.” And the regular paycheck has made it possible for him to move his family into their own place where they can be together as a family this holiday season.

Snipe served six active duty years with the U.S. Coast Guard as a Damage Controlman 2nd Class followed by four years in the Coast Guard Reserve. The son of Marines and a Beaufort High graduate, there is no missing Snipe’s independent and self-reliant streak.

After his discharge, Snipe went out on his own, maintaining and repairing refrigerators at the seafood packaging houses and then at the fast food joints that proliferate on all of Beaufort’s major thoroughfares. He’s was good, and it went well. Snipe got a mortgage, bought a house, moved his wife and child in, and began his pursuit of the American Dream. Then came COVID. “Every one of my customers closed down. Everyone was scared of the virus,” Snipe

explained last week. “They say you should have about two years’ savings saved up. I paid my mortgage for about two years, and then I was out. The lights went off, and they cut off the water. At a certain stage you say to yourself, ‘You know what Snipe, you need help.’ That’s when I went to S.C. Works.”

This holiday season Snipe’s got a good job as a maintenance man.

The heat, the lights, the water and the refrigerator are all back on at his place, and he’s tussling with the bank over how to get his property out of foreclosure.

“That S.C. Works is the best government entity I have ever seen,” Snipe said to me last week.

“Mike and the entire crew tucked away there on Castle Rock Road will put you to work. If you want to pay your bills, if you want to work, they’ll get you work.”

Not Common Food or Drink The Witness of Justin Martyr What if the early Christians left us a time capsule?

It is always fun when time capsules are discovered and opened up.

Hidden or buried generations ago, they allow us to see how the people of that time lived and what they treasured. We are blessed to have a written time capsule from the early Christians, thanks to Justin Martyr, a famous Christian teacher in the second century who gave his life for Jesus and whose writings can still be read today.

Justin defended the Christian faith to the Roman Emperor.

In order to end the empire’s persecution of Christians, Justin wrote an open letter to the emperor himself around the year 150, explaining and defending Christianity in great detail. His account offers us a fascinating snapshot of Christian beliefs and practices in his day, barely a century after Jesus. Unlike the letters of Ignatius of Antioch, written to fellow Christians a few decades earlier, Justin’s work is a systematic explanation for the benefit of non-Christians.

Justin describes the Christian worship and practices of his day.

He writes that they gather together every Sunday, for “Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead on the same day.” There are readings from “the memoirs of the Apostles and the Prophets.” The leader verbally instructs those present, “exhorting the imitation of these good things.” Then bread and wine are brought forward, and the leader prays over them at considerable length, using the words of Jesus at the Last Supper. The bread and wine are then given to the people to receive. Afterward, deacons take a portion of this bread to those who are too sick to come to the worship.

Justin explains, “This food is called among us the Eucharist.”

Not everyone is allowed to receive the Eucharist, he explains, but only those who share their beliefs, have been baptized, and are living a holy life. “For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of his word… is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.” The Christians of Justin’s day believed that the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Jesus, not a symbol.

Justin is one of many “Early Church Fathers.”

The Early Church Fathers are Christian leaders from the first few centuries. As one reads their writings, one recognizes worship, practices, and beliefs that are still associated with the Catholic Church today. In particular, it is striking how much the Eucharist is central to their Sunday worship, and how these early Christians truly believed that Jesus is miraculously present in the Eucharist. Today, in Catholic churches throughout the world, Jesus continues to be present in our midst and offer himself to us as the Bread of Life.

One can read Justin’s letter by searching online for “The First Apology of Justin Martyr.” (“Apology” here means “explanation.”)

He describes Sunday worship in the final three paragraphs.
