Local redistricting efforts bring few surprises

BEAUFORT he ink has hardly dried on Beaufort County’s redistricting maps, and already candidates are lining up for elections. Dataw resident Marilyn Harris was the first earlier this month to formally announce her plans to run for the County Council District 2 seat, currently held by Paul Sommerville. Sommerville, a Republican who has held the seat since 2007 has not said whether he plans to seek re-election in November. Redistricting created a potential race for District 4, where incumbent Alice Howard could face a challenge if Brian Flewelling chooses to run against her. Flewelling currently represents District 5 which because of population change, was realigned, moving him into Howard’s District 4. Howard has said she plans to run for re-election. Both are Republicans. The local redistricting effort, which made district line changes primarily south of the Broad River, includes the 11-member school board. Seven seats – including District 2 and District 4 north of the Broad – will be up for re-election on the school board as well. The state House and Senate redistricting plans have not yet been finalized but incumbent House District 124 Shannon Erickson has already drawn a Democratic opponent, Barbara Nash, who ran against her two years ago. Sen. Tom Davis, who has represented District 46 since 2009, is trying to decide where to call home since redistricting changed his district to south of the Broad. But lawsuits may be filed to challenge the Legislature’s work. North Carolina has already delayed its’ spring primaries in anticipation of court challenges. And Ken Fulp, who doesn’t have to think about re-districting since he represents all of Beaufort County, has said he’s not going to run again

Still humming along Beaufort’s Kazoobie Kazoos Museum rolls with kazoo history mystery

By Erin Bowman

ne hundred and eighty years ago, a Georgia man and a German clockmaker made history by debuting the kazoo at the 1842 Georgia State Fair. At least, that’s how the story goes. New research by the people behind the Kazoobie Kazoo Museum in Beaufort is raising questions about an often-told and beloved story by kazoo

afficionados suggesting the tale may have originated from a parody article. “At one point we were trying to portray this Alabama Vest and Thaddeus Von Clegg story and honestly, this is a mystery and we’re going to just have to embrace this mystery,” said Boaz Frankel, museum curator. Accordingly, when guides greet

By Mike McCombs “Despite cold and wet weather on Friday and Saturday, the Beaufort Oyster Festival at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park was a success. “It was cold but that was par for the course,” Beaufort Area Hospitality Association Executive Director Ashlee Houck said Monday. “It almost added this uniqueness to the event. Most of our local events are hot summer events. For an oyster roast, you almost want to be in the cold. A little bit of chill.” Despite the rain and threat of frozen precipitation on Friday night, Houck said the event drew several

The energy on Saturday was just so enjoyable.” Though the festival was successful, Houck said the Hospitality Association was still looking for ways to improve the event in the future, likely adding vendors. “We’ll definitely keep the edu-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SC doesn’t invest in public education

How do you build a life well lived, a life that gives the individual a shot at living their best, achieving their full potential? It goes without saying that life’s basics (food, clothing, shelter, love and belonging) are essential. Beyond that, the vital building block is a robust, quality, public education for every child K-12. The strongest foundation combines the ability to read and comprehend, calculate numbers, and communicate clearly through writing, with the skill of critical thinking. It is appalling that South Carolina is committed to providing only a “minimally adequate education” to our children, one that almost guarantees they are not going to succeed. Education is the key that unlocks the door to dreaming, to reaching, to hoping, to achieving. It is the path to improving the mental and physical health of our population, protecting our environment, and attracting employers to our state. Public education is an investment in our state that pays off many times over. So, why do South Carolina public school teachers have to fight for every penny for themselves and their students every single

legislative session? We should ask our Governor, Henry McMaster, and our State Representative, Shannon Erickson. They seem determined to underfund our public education system, with one major outcome being South Carolina having reached unprecedented heights with school districts reporting nearly 1,063 vacant teaching positions in Sept./Oct. 2021. Dreaming, reaching, and achieving will never be a reality for many of our children. Could it be because, as Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world?” – Barb Nash, Beaufort

Dandridge’s articles important to educating veterans

I would like to share my deep appreciation for the military articles written by Larry Dandridge. In particular, I am impressed by his coverage of the VA. As we all know, there are many veterans that have not taken advantage of all the services they are not only entitled to, but deserve from VA care. As a 24-year employee of the VA and prior Mental Health Chief in Charleston, I can think of no better system that can

provide wrap-around services for our national heroes. Dandridge’s articles are an important component of educating our veterans of all the services offered and how to access those services. They are truly unique in that he can speak from his own experiences. My hope is that these articles may lead to engagement in care with any struggling Veteran who needs our help. Thanks so much for endorsing these articles.

(In our January 2022 newsletter) we included one of Larry’s articles for our members. Larry has a great deal of information in the articles and we have used them on both our chapter website as well as in our newsletters. Our reach of our membership in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties is only around 260 members which have been commissioned officers in one of the branches of the military as well as surviving spouses – but your reach is much greater and certainly in an area of the state where you also have a strong concentration of active and retired military persons of all ranks. His articles are a great contribution to your readers, and I thank you for publishing his work. As you know, Larry is a decorated Vietnam military veteran and is heavily involved with the RHJ VA Health Care System and a Fisher House Charleston volunteer Good Will Ambassador as well as an award-winning author.

Dandridge’s articles make difference in veterans’ lives

Mike (McCombs) — as a retired military officer and a member of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) Charleston Chapter, I am confident you are making a difference in the lives of many veterans in the coverage area of (The Island News) by including the very informative articles that Larry Dandridge contributes to your newspaper.

Davis’ medical marijuana bill again set for debate

From staff reports COLUMBIA – State Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, is hoping the seventh time is the charm. For the past seven years, Davis has been trying to convince his colleagues to pass a medical marijuana

bill, which in its current rendition is considered the most conservative medical marijuana bill in the country. U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, endorsed the bill Tuesday and Senators who returned to work

last week agreed that S-150, officially called the Compassionate Care Act, would be the first piece of legislation to be debated this year and that no other bills would be considered until a vote by the full Senate takes place. That debate is expected to

begin this week. The bill passed the Senate Medical Affairs Committee last year but opposition stopped a floor debate before the session ended in May. The biggest opponent to the bill is head of the State

Law Enforcement Division and the state Sheriff’s Association who content it will lead to recreational use. The bill permits the use of cannabis through ointments, sprays, vapors but regulations against the smoking of marijuana re-

main in place. Thirty-six states already have medical marijuana bills and supporters, many of whom suffer from cancer, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues that are traditionally dealt with opioids.

Recycling Wreaths The board of the Beaufort County Historical Society gather around the new marker erected in Pigeon Point Park identifying an area near the park as the site of a World War II prisoner-of-war camp. Photo by Jeff Evans.

WWII POW camp marker unveiled at Pigeon Point Park

From staff reports About 100 people gathered at Pigeon Point Park on Thursday morning for the Beaufort County Historical Society’s unveiling of a new marker commemorating the prisoner-of-war camp that stood near that spot during World War II. The U.S. Army opened the camp in 1943 to hold Axis prisoners. Around 250 Italian soldiers were housed there in tents and assigned to work on local farms. Beaufort County Historical Society President Larry Rowland made some brief remarks at the unveiling, then spoke with The Island News about

the history of Beaufort’s commemorative markers. “At least 30 years ago, the Historical Society – which has been in existence since 1939 – decided it would undertake and be responsible for the management and placement of these plaques around the county,” he said. “It’s really picked up pace over the last 20 years,” Rowland continued, saying the S.C. Department of Archives and History has now approved 65 markers for Beaufort County. “We’re just getting started on the plaques,” he said. “The next one we’ve got coming, which has already been forged, will commemorate the

Great Fire of 1907. The City will decide where to put that one, somewhere downtown.” About the new marker in Pigeon Point Park, Rowland said, “The Italian POW camp was a small thing, but it’s representative of the effect WWII had on America. Everybody has a WWII story. But here’s the thing: they’re disappearing. We’ve got to mark them.” The Beaufort County Historical Society thanked the City of Beaufort for the marker’s installation. For more information, visit www. BeaufortCountyHistoricalSociety.com or go to Beaufort County Historical Society on Facebook.

More than 21,000 Christmas wreaths were collected for recycling Saturday morning at Beaufort National Cemetery. Here, a load is placed next to a dumpster where a front end loader will pick them up.

Tips for Daily Prayer

Thirty Minutes of Prayer? How a priest learned to pray “You need to give God thirty minutes each day.” I sat there with the other new arrivals to the seminary, ready to begin studies for the priesthood. I was surprised. Our professors were telling us that, in addition to the hour of community prayer we had together throughout the day, we each needed to set aside a half hour of quiet time with the Lord. Wasn’t an hour in the chapel enough, I thought? Until that point, my prayer life wasn’t very strong. I would offer a small prayer as I rolled out of bed, thanking God for the new day, and a similar short prayer as I was about to go to sleep. I would offer little prayers from time to time during the day, thanking God or asking for help. But I had never developed the habit of giving a significant part of each day to God.

I decided to give it a try. Even though I’m not a morning person, I went into the chapel half an hour before the morning prayer service began. I sat there quietly, saying hello to Jesus and talking to him about my experiences so far in the seminary. After a while, though, I started getting antsy. Surely the thirty minutes were almost up? It felt like I had been praying forever! But glancing at a clock, I saw that only five minutes had passed! I kept showing up. Our professors had told us that prayer would probably be tough at first, but it would get easier as we practiced. After a few weeks, ten or fifteen minutes would pass by before I started feeling antsy. Eventually, the entire half hour would start to pass by without me even realizing it. I discovered I was really starting to look forward to this daily prayer time, and when I missed it for some reason, I felt off all day long. Now I can’t imagine a life without daily prayer. I have been trying to grow and deepen my daily prayer life ever since. I receive great peace from spending time with the Lord. If I wasn’t being faithful to my daily prayer time, there’s no way I could have strength for my ministry as a priest. I still need a lot of growth, and I still struggle with distractions, but I am so grateful for this daily time with Jesus. “I wish I had started praying years ago!” I hear things like this all the time as pastor of St. Peter’s. As people begin a daily habit of prayer, they start to see the fruit in their lives and they wish they hadn’t waited so long! Even if you start with 10-15 minutes of quiet time, I hope that you are giving God an opportunity to fill your heart in daily prayer!

Good luck to county officials seeking new solutions to old issues BEAUFORT – To start with, Beaufort does have “homeless shelters.” Beaufort County Council members made headlines last week when the subject came up as they were asked to consider an ordinance to allow law enforcement officials to arrest individuals temporarily living on county property. The ordinance comes as a recommendation from county staff frustrated in their efforts to assist an individual who had been “camping” on a picnic table right outside the County Council chambers since Thanksgiving. It’s an effort by the officials to deal with those who “fall through the cracks” in terms of public services available to individuals facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems. Apparently, attorneys have told the officials the ordinance would make it easier to connect the troubled individuals with existing services.

That’s the objective. And it’s certainly a worthy objective, one that the community services agencies – private and government – have been trying to tackle in this community for years. Beaufort City Council two years ago resorted to an ordinance giving police the authority to turn homeless individuals away from the downtown Waterfront Park, regardless of mental health. But while Beaufort doesn’t have government-supported facilities like the Savannah-Chatham Authority for the Homeless or One80Place in Charleston, there are individual efforts to help those without shelter. There’s the Circle of Home Ministries facility on Boundary Street, which opened its doors in 2016 to homeless veterans. There’s the Low Country Hope House which offers housing for 16 men and women dealing with addiction issues. There’s Family Promise, which works with families with children, to provide housing and advertises they’ve helped more than 900 people since opening in 2008. HELP of Beaufort and churches throughout the area have been known to help

From November 24 through December 13, the County held three public meetings and a redistricting website compete with informational videos, key documents, and an interactive map. The public could also submit comments through the website. “The feedback was tremendous and helped the County staff to focus on neighborhoods street by street and make sure we get this right,” Beaufort County Director of Mapping and Applications Dan Morgan said in a release. “We feel we were able to preserve the one person, one vote yet improve the grouping of communities of interests with the help of the public.” For more information, go to https://www.beaufortcountysc.gov/topics/redistricting/index.html

To see if your district changed go to https://www. beaufortcountysc.gov/topics/redistricting/index.html. Beaufort County's Board of Voter Registration and Elections will take necessary actions to inform voters of the changes and precinct locations. The Redistricting process started with the release of the census date after South Carolina reviewed it. This occurred on October 27 at USC Beaufort as the state presented the data during an open meeting. On Monday, Nov. 8, the County Council approved the timeline understating that the normal 9-month process was now four months to

This year's Valentine Ball, rescheduled for March 5, will be held outside and under a tent in Kate Gleason Park, located along the banks of the Beaufort River on the hospital’s main campus. Submitted photo.

From staff reports Beaufort Memorial officials are rescheduling and relocating the annual Valentine Ball fundraiser, originally set for February 5, due to high levels of COVID-19 in the community and ongoing health concerns. “Given the current surge in cases and the high transmission rate of this variant we believe it is prudent to postpone the event until such time when both CDC and DHEC models predict the prevalence will be much lower,” BMH President and CEO Russell Baxley said in a release. The ball will be held outside and under a tent on Saturday, March 5, in Kate Gleason Park, located on the banks of the Beaufort River on the hospital’s main campus. Attendance will be limited to 250 guests. As an additional safety measure, guests

homeless with an overnight stay, or two, in local motels. Admittedly it’s a patchwork network which could be improved. But a lot of people have spent a lot of time trying to come up with solutions. If Council members are committed to coming up with a plan to help homeless with mental health issues, here’s to ’em. They’ve had a full-time position in the county budget for the past year for a homelessness program coordinator but they’ve been unable to successfully fill the position. They’ll realize it’s going to take dollars maybe even ... dare we say … a tax increase? It’s called putting your money where your mouth is. Concerns for those less fortunate are strong during the December holiday season when the marketing world wants us all to be happy, well-fed and well-housed, … jolly. Maybe these concerns will carry through into the new year and Beaufort County will, indeed, be a better place for all, not just those who can afford million-dollar homes. Maybe the man sleeping on the picnic table outside the County Council chambers will be a “wake-up” call, as one councilman noted. We’ll see around May or June, when it’s budget time.

Camelia photos by Lolita Huckaby. Hooray for the camellias while they’re still here LADY’S ISLAND – A sure sign of winter, for those who take the time to slow down and “smell the flowers,” is the burst of color seen on local greenery – camellias, or the Queen of Southern winter flowers. Spring may have its azaleas, but this time of the year, when things are a little bleak and on the cold side, the flowering heritage camellias that can still be spotted around town and in older gardens are a blessing. In years past, the attraction of camellia growing was so strong, annual camellia shows were a much-anticipated event, drawing flower lovers from throughout the state and region to “ooh” and “ahh”

over the beautiful blooms. Those shows have largely gone by the wayside, but the camellias still can be found. Their presence in public parks is especially welcome and a tribute to enthusiasts like Stan Waskiewicz, Jim Neighbors and Lewis Wright, now gone, but their beautiful plants can be seen. It’s ironic, therefore, that one of the newest residential developments in the area, on Miller Drive East, Lady’s Island, bears the name of the lovely collection of bushes that once covered the landscape. Camellia Banks, future site of 50 new homes, still has a few scraggly bushes along the property lines as the earth movers do their job. Neighbors, who objected loudly two years ago when the Beaufort

City Council annexed the property, had voiced concern about not just all the construction but the loss of another wooded tract that once had been a single-family home with its major camellia collection. Some of the bushes were relocated and hopefully will make it another season when the blooms may return. What’s that old advertising criticism – why do they name streets and neighborhoods for the things they’ve taken away?

Race4Love has its origins in the Tate/Coursen Memorial Walk/Run that was organized by Marie Tate in 2012. The event honored Lance Cpl. Dana Tate and Cpl. Dyke

“A.J.” Coursen, two Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department deputies who were killed when responding to a domestic violence call in 2002. Marie Tate, Lance Cpl. Dana Tate’s widow, is still actively involved in Race4Love and will greet runners and walkers at the Tate Turnaround

ADA recognizes Beaufort Memorial’s Diabetes Education Program

From staff reports The Beaufort Memorial Diabetes Self-Management Program has once again been awarded recognition from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for offering high-quality services to its patients. The program was first awarded the prestigious American Diabetes Association Education Rec-

ognition Certificate in 2000, with renewal every four years. The ADA Education Recognition effort is a voluntary process which assures that approved education programs have met the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs. Programs that achieve Recognition status

have a staff of knowledgeable health professionals who can provide state-ofthe-art information about diabetes management for participants. “The process gives professionals a national standard by which to measure the quality of the services they provide for diabetes education, while helping consum-

ers identify these programs in the community,” Beaufort Memorial Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator Jenny Craft said in a release. “Most importantly, it helps patients learn to manage their condition and live longer, healthier lives.” The Beaufort Memorial Diabetes Self-Management Program, which is available

in both Beaufort and Okatie, offers patients the education and tools necessary for controlling blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. “Self-management education is an essential component of diabetes treatment,” Craft said. “With the support of the health care team the patient can then assume a

major part of the responsibility for his/her diabetes management, thus preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and some of the acute and chronic complications of the disease.” For more information about the Beaufort Memorial Diabetes Self-Management Program, contact Craft at 843-522-5965.

Beaufort County Library branches now offering COVID-19 rapid test kits

From staff reports Through a partnership with the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Beaufort County Library branches are now one of many local distribution sites that offer free OnGo COVID-19 rapid test kits to Lowcountry residents. Residents can pick up a kit at any branch library or Bookmobile during normal operating hours. Each box includes two tests. The individual requesting a test kit must be present to receive the kit (no one can pick up kits for someone else). Additionally, DHEC requires the individual to list their date of birth.

now available at DHEC Public Health Departments, including the Beaufort County Public Health Department at 601 Wilmington Street (855472-3432). Residents can used DHEC’s testing locator (https://scdhec.gov/covid19/ covid-19-testing-locations) to determine if their local health department has rapid tests available. At-home test results are not required to be reported to DHEC but can help an individual take appropriate action to monitor their health and prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others. At-home rapid tests are in limited supply, and residents

Residents are advised to call their local branch before visiting to check on current inventory, as supplies are limited. • Beaufort Branch: 843-255-6456 • Bluffton Branch: 843-255-6497 • Hilton Head Branch: 843-255-6526 • Lobeco Branch: 843-255-6479 • St. Helena Branch: 843-255-6540 Also, at-home tests are

Individuals must be physically present to receive a test kit. A person may not pick up test kits for other people. A person with symptoms must not come into a PHD for a test kit. Anyone not feeling well should notify the staff performing screening at the door that they have symptoms and staff will bring a test kit to them. Residents are asked to practice patience when attempting to acquire a rapid

test and make alternative plans to get tested in case they cannot obtain one. There are testing locations across the state for residents to visit if they are experiencing symptoms or are otherwise recommended to be tested. Fifty percent of the rapid at-home tests DHEC receives will be distributed to the community. The rest will be provided to first responder agencies, state government agencies, school districts, long-term care facilities, and county and state correctional facilities. It is imperative that staff in these entities who are symptomatic or close contacts can quickly be made

aware of their COVID-19 status so they can act accordingly and protect the health of those they serve from potential spread of illness. DHEC strongly encourages vaccinations for ages 5 and up, booster shots for those 12 and older, and the use of masks to protect ourselves and each other from virus spread. Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 and to protect those around you.

County Council again mulling sales tax referendum From staff reports A special sales tax referendum may go back to the voters in November after the issue was widely rejected by county voters last year. The Council agreed Monday night to create a citizens task force to consider the issue, including whether to have a referendum since the addition 1 percent sales tax was vetoed by 73 percent of the county voters last November. Several council members suggested delaying the vote until 2023 or 2024 but the majority wanted to move forward with a task force because of road improvement needs. The 16-member committee will be made up of an appointee from each of the 11 county council districts and one from each of the five municipalities. County officials want the nominees by February 11 with a goal of late April for the task force to begin its work.

Kazoo

from page A1 tours Friday to celebrate National Kazoo Day, they’ll be telling an updated who-dunit history of the kazoo, but Kazoobie Marketing Director Sarah Barnwell said that only adds to the fun. “I go ahead and tell both sides,” she said. “We think this might be a fable and there are these older examples of vibration instruments. We kind of just let the people decide.” During the pandemic, Kazoobie Kazoos owner Stephen Murray and Frankel, the originator of the Kazoo Museum, undertook a renovation and modernization of the 12-yearold museum. Kazoobie is the only plastic kazoo manufacturer in the United States. “At one point we were like this our chance, we’re going to tell the definitive story of the kazoo, we’re going to find out. And really the more research I did, the more questions I realized,” Frankel said. The story unraveled quickly. Frankel worked with historical societies and combed census records and old newspapers only to come up empty-handed. No one had a record of Vest or von Clegg. “So, it just started falling apart on a lot of levels,” he

So where did these things come from?” As he dug into the history, Frankel kept seeing the story of von Clegg and Vest but no source. He turned to Barbara Stewart’s “The Complete How to Kazoo” and found a footnote citing now-defunct British music magazine “Melody Maker and Rhythm.” He found a copy on Ebay and had it shipped overseas only to discover the article was part of a five-piece series. Three more Ebay purchases and a search of the British library system turned up the

rest. “So finally, when I had the whole piece together, it was clear that the names were totally absurd, they were getting crazier and crazier, and every name I googled or did a newspaper search on came back nothing,” he said. “It became clear this was a parody article. It was just a joke.” Frankel didn’t give up on the story, however, and attempted unsuccessfully to track down the writer or anyone associated with the magazine and researched the names and facts in the articles.

In the late 1800s, the kazoo’s history and paper trail becomes more clear. The instruments were wooden and were usually more rectangular instead of the now-familiar submarine shape. Warren Herbert Frost filed a patent for a humming instrument he proposed to call a “kazoo” in 1883, followed by George Smith’s patent in 1902 and in 1915, a factory in Eden, NY, began manufacturing metal kazoos. “The summer of 1884 was the summer of the kazoo across America. It was this point where it was the

fad item, it was the fidget spinner, it was the Tickle Me Elmo,” Frankel said, based on his research. But examples of merliton – the class of vibrating instruments kazoos belong to – have been found around the world for centuries. Some of the oldest examples are from Africa, where they were fashioned from bones, gourds and other material and used spider egg sacks and animal intestines for the vibrating membrane. Eunuch flutes, also known as onion flutes, were widespread in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. So the Kazoo Museum has adapted to create a more interactive exhibit that challengers guests to consider all

the options and make their own conclusions, Barnwell said. While she would like to satisfy her own curiosity by knowing the truth about Vest and von Clegg, she still enjoys telling the story regardless of its origins. “Either way, I think the kazoos bring happiness and that’s the most important thing,” she said. “For me, it’s about watching (people) go on the tour and make a kazoo and watching the shield we all keep up melt away and bring back our childhood.” Erin Bowman is a former newspaper reporter living in Beaufort. After working at the Citizen’s Voice in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., she covered Beaufort for nearly four years at the Beaufort Gazette.

The difference between isopropyl alcohol vs. rubbing alcohol

Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. Sometimes, it contains additional ingredients. By contrast, isopropyl alcohol is pure alcohol with no other ingredients. Because rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol, the two liquids have similar properties, but they are not the same. For example, both have antibacterial properties and are disinfectants. However, because it is undiluted, isopropyl alcohol is too hazardous to use as a disinfectant for the skin or home. Companies use isopropyl alcohol in industrial settings to manufacture products, while rubbing alcohol is for at-home use. Here is a discussion about the similarities and differences between isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol. It will explain how to use rubbing alcohol as a disinfectant and the potential side effects.

Are isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol the same thing?

No – isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol are not the same thing. Isopropyl alcohol is pure alcohol and is a colorless liquid with a musty, sharp odor. There are no other ingredients in a bottle of isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is also not the same substance as ethyl alcohol, which is the

relieve aches and pains.

Similarities and differences

type of alcohol in beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages. By contrast, rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol among other ingredients, such as water. Most rubbing alcohol brands contain 70% isopropyl alcohol.

What else can rubbing alcohol contain?

The other main component of rubbing alcohol is water. Depending on the product, there may be other ingredients. Some rubbing alcohols that companies manufacture for aching muscles contain essential oils such as wintergreen. Wintergreen essential oil contains a compound known as methyl salicylate, which dilates tiny blood vessels in the skin. This can help

The main difference between isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol is the concentration. The concentration of isopropyl alcohol is 100%, while the concentration of rubbing alcohol is less because of the addition of water. Otherwise, the two liquids have similar properties. They are antibacterial and antiseptic. They are also both flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Both products involve risks with use, but because isopropyl alcohol is more concentrated than rubbing alcohol, it is more hazardous.

Uses

Despite their similarities, isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol have different uses. Isopropyl alcohol Manufacturers use isopropyl alcohol to make: • cosmetics • personal care products • perfumes • antifreeze • pharmaceuticals • dyes • lacquers • window cleaners Rubbing alcohol People typically use rubbing alcohol at home as an antiseptic to clean cuts and scrapes, lowering the risk of infection. It may be part of an

at-home first aid kit or medicine cabinet. If a rubbing alcohol contains wintergreen or methyl salicylate, individuals may use it to help relieve muscle aches that are the result of exertion. An additional use involves disinfecting small objects in the home.

Is one better than the other?

Isopropyl alcohol is undiluted, so has stronger antibacterial properties. However, this also makes it more hazardous, and it is not appropriate for home use. People should not apply isopropyl alcohol to the skin for any reason, as it can pass into the bloodstream and cause poisoning. Rubbing alcohol is better for use in first aid and to sterilize small objects or surfaces.

How to use rubbing alcohol

• Disinfecting items in the home A person may use rubbing alcohol in the home to disinfect thermometers and frequently touched items, such as computer keyboards and phones. First, ensure the room is well-ventilated. Next, dip cotton wool in rubbing alcohol and apply it to the surface or object. • Disinfecting cuts and scrapes People can use rubbing

alcohol that contains 70% isopropyl alcohol to disinfect minor cuts and scrapes. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the room has good ventilation. 2. Gently clean the skin around the cut with some water. 3. Add a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton pad and apply to the area. Allow it to dry. 4. Cover with a sterile bandage, if necessary. 5. Repeat this 1–3 times per day. Do not apply rubbing alcohol to a large area of the body or near the eyes, and do not use it for more than 1 week without consulting a doctor. • Relieving muscle aches due to exertion For muscle aches, a person may try using rubbing alcohol that contains 50% isopropyl alcohol with added wintergreen. Apply some of the rubbing alcohol to clean gauze or a cotton swab, then rub onto the area. Alternatively, apply some of the liquid directly to the skin and rub with the hands. Again, it is important to make sure the room has good ventilation. Do not get rubbing alcohol into the eyes or on other mucous membranes.

Risks and side effects

Using rubbing alcohol on the skin or in the home has some risks, such as: • Skin irritation • Fire

• Eye damage • Poisoning Both isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol are toxic. This is true whether a person inhales the fumes or if they drink the liquid. Neither substance is a substitute for alcohol in drinks, and even one sip can have the devastating effects. Wintergreen and methyl salicylate are also toxic when ingested. Always keep medicines and alcohol out of the reach of children in a locked cabinet. Rubbing alcohol is a diluted form of isopropyl alcohol. Sometimes, it also contains other ingredients, such as wintergreen essential oil. While the concentration of isopropyl alcohol is 100%, the concentration of many brands of rubbing alcohol is 70%. The difference in strength makes rubbing alcohol safe to use in the home to disinfect objects and scrapes on the skin. However, it is only safe if a person follows directions for use and heeds precautions, such as using it in a well-ventilated area and avoiding contact with the eyes.

Relationship between food, disease stronger than you may think

The phrase "you are what you eat" is commonly used in conversations about health and the connection between food and the body. Eating an unhealthy diet can have serious consequences and can increase someone's risk of dying from heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, discusses the relationship between food and disease. Things like smoking and genetics put us at risk for developing different diseases,

but neither are the biggest risk factor. "Nutrition is now the No. 1 cause of early death, and early disease in our country and the world," says Dr. Kopecky. Dr. Kopecky says having genes for disease will increase your risk by 30% to 40%, but having a bad lifestyle for disease will increase your risk by 300% to 400%. "About 57% of the calories we consume every day in this country are ultraprocessed foods," says Dr. Kopecky. While ultraprocessed foods tend to be convenient

and cost-effective, they are inflammatory and can cause a host of health issues over time. "It bothers our tissues. It bothers our heart. It bothers our arteries, our brains, our pancreas, our liver and our lungs. And that leads to disease," says Dr. Kopecky. "It could be in the brain with Alzheimer's, the heart with coronary artery disease, or cancers elsewhere." The good news is it's never too late to change your eating habits, and no change is too small.

Everywhere That People Care The trusted Care magazine is now back in print as a regular contributor to The Island News, with Karen Mozzo as editor. Together we’ll deliver information, references, and options for a healthier life.

"It's been shown if you take one bite of say a processed meat or ultraprocessed food, replace that with some unprocessed food or a healthier choice — you know vegetables and black beans — after a year or two, that will actually lower your risk of heart attack and stroke." Of the four levels of food processing, the most processed are termed ultraprocessed foods. These foods have many added ingredients, such as sugar; salt; fat; and artificial colors, preservatives or stabilizers. The ingredient list sometimes has words that sound like chemicals. Examples are obvious foods like soft drinks, hot dogs, cold cuts, fast food, packaged snacks and

cookies, but can also include canned baked beans, low-fat fruit yogurt, packaged bread, ready-made pasta sauces and breakfast cereals.

A healthy thyroid can be key to a healthy heart

Make a list of the ABCs of heart health, from arrhythmia to Zumba classes, and you might not think to include a T – for thyroid. But the small gland that produces crucial hormones can have a big effect on the cardiovascular system. "Both an overactive thyroid and an underactive thyroid can have bad cardiac consequences," said Dr. Anne Cappola, an endocrinologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia. "It is important to recognize and treat both." The changes caused by an abnormal thyroid can be subtle, said Dr. Robert Carey, an endocrinologist and dean emeritus of the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville. "Thyroid disorders creep up on you," he said. "They occur so gradually they're quite often not detected until you come to a physician. But the risks of ignoring them are largely cardiovascular." The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, releases hormones that regulate metabolism and affect every organ, including the heart. When the body produces too much thyroid hormone, the result is hyperthyroidism, which can cause an irregular heartbeat that can lead to

www.heart.org (magicmine/iStock, Getty Images) blood clots, stroke and heart failure, as well as osteoporosis and other problems. Treatments include medication, radioactive iodine to shrink the thyroid and, less commonly, surgery to remove it. Hypothyroidism, when the body doesn't produce enough hormone, is much more prevalent. That can lead to a slower heart rate, constricted blood vessels, increased blood pressure, retention of fluid and an increase in cholesterol levels.

It's treated with a medication that replaces that body's natural thyroid hormones and can manage the condition for a lifetime. According to the American Thyroid Association, about 1 in 8 people in the U.S. will develop a thyroid condition sometime in their lives, and an estimated 20 million have one now. Women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems, and more than half of people with the condition may not know it.

So what should we be doing about it? Thyroid abnormalities are usually discovered through blood tests. Because heart disease and thyroid problems are linked, Cappola said, people with heart-related problems ranging from irregular heartbeats to high cholesterol to heart failure routinely undergo

ness or irritability; muscle weakness; and heat intolerance. While not everyone feeling sluggish or nervous has a thyroid problem, especially during a pandemic that has generated stress and social isolation, the overall message is the same. "For the public, pay attention to small changes," Carey said. "And for clinicians and primary care physicians, don't be hesitant to screen for thyroid problems." Cappola also called attention to people who don't see doctors at all. "The people who never go or brush off their symptoms or don't have access to health care are the ones who could be getting into trouble," she said. "You need to have a properly functioning thyroid."

thyroid checks. "You need to see if the thyroid is a contributor," she said. "The beauty of that is you treat the thyroid problem, and it often helps the cardiac problem." But Cappola said thyroid tests are generally not part of routine health screenings, in which people without symptoms are tested, as is the case with screening mammograms and colonoscopies. "The challenges have been who needs to get checked (for thyroid problems), do we recommend screening people who are asymptomatic and is there any benefit to that," she said. "We're not at the point that we're saying people with no symptoms need to be screened for it." That's why paying attention to symptoms is so important, Cappola and Carey said. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue; weight gain; cold intolerance; joint and muscle pain; constipation; and dry, brittle hair. For hyperthyroidism, symptoms include weight loss despite an increased appetite; rapid or irregular heartbeat; nervous-

Met to broadcast Verdi’s Rigoletto on Saturday at Center For the Arts

By Becky Sprecher The Metropolitan Opera will broadcast its new production of Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi on Saturday, Jan. 29th at the USC Beaufort’s Center for the Arts at 801 Carteret. Curtain is at 1 p.m. Regarded as one of the masters of the art form, Verdi composed an astounding 26 operas, half of which are still in performed in houses all over the world today. Not only was he a great dramatist he was also a highly respected interpreter of Italy’s cultural and political development. “It is indisputable,” wrote George Martin in his book, The Opera Companion, “that no musician in the last 400 years writing in any form — operatic, symphonic or other — has communicated so directly to so many persons for so many years.” And for Verdi, opera was for everybody, not just an “interesting but irrelevant aberration of the rich and idle,” said Martin. The story is based on Victor Hugo’s widely-banned Le Roi S’amuse, “a blatant depiction of depraved authority”

and “biting criticism of the ruling class,” according to the Met’s notes. Verdi’s adaption of the opera premiered in 1851 at Teatro la Fenice in Venice, but as with most masterworks, its themes are still relevant today. At a party in the Ducal Palace in Act I, the Duke is unabashedly trying to seduce the ladies while the guests gossip that his hunchbacked court jester, Rigoletto, has a mistress. The elderly Count Monterone angrily confronts the Duke about seducing his daughter. Rigoletto ridicules him with merciless cruelty, prompting the Count to curse him. Monterone is promptly arrested. Rigoletto hurries home where we meet his daughter Gilda, the light of Rigoletto’s life. He is determined not only to shield her from the corrupt life at the palace but protect her from Monterone’s curse as well. Unfortunately the Duke already has his claws in the girl, impersonating a poor student who sat near her in church. After Rigoletto leaves, he sneaks in to see her. A group of courtiers, thinking the rumor

about Rigoletto having a mistress is true, decide to abduct her and expose the affair. In Act II, the Duke pretends to be upset about Gilda’s abduction, but is delighted when his courtiers inform him of the mistake. He swiftly disappears to make the conquest. When Rigoletto enters the palace looking for Gilda, the courtiers are astounded to learn that she is his daughter and not his mistress. She appears and runs in shame to her father. As Count Monterone passes by on the way to his execution, Rigoletto swears that they both will be avenged for the Duke’s misdeeds. In the manner of abused women, Gilda begs Rigoletto to forgive the Duke. Act III brings disaster, with the Duke parading around singing about the fickleness of women as he attempts to seduce a young lady named Maddalena. From their location outside, Rigoletto and Gilda watch what is going on through a window. Rigoletto dresses Gilda as a boy to get her out of town to safety then hires a killer, Sparafucile, to murder the Duke. Through a ghastly series of misadven-

Hackler makes Fall 2021 Dean’s List at Belmont

Nicolas Hackler of Beaufort (29907) qualified for the Fall 2021 Dean's List at Belmont University. Eligibility is based on a minimum course load of 12 hours and a quality grade point average of 3.5 with no grade below a C. Located two miles from downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Belmont University consists of nearly 8,800 students who come from every state and 33 countries. With more than 115 areas of undergraduate study, 41 master's programs and five doctoral degrees, Belmont can expand an individual's horizon.

tures, Gilda is the one who winds up being killed and dies in Rigoletto’s arms. Here's what to look for in this production:

The Set Tony Award-winning director Bartlett Sher has moved the action to the 1920s Weimar period in Germany, evoking a pre-fascist era of unbridled cruelty and extravagance that has strong parallels to Italy in the day of the Duke of Mantua. Sher was interested in “how a corrupt leadership infects a culture, infects how wealth and privilege dominate and squish people below it,” according to an interview with the New York Times. While to some it may seem like a stretch to have the Ducal Palace of Mantua in Germany, there are few specific references. “It’s more of a context than a concept,” says Sher. Settings will change rapidly, rotating to seamlessly shift between scenes. The Singers Indulge me for a minute here. The Hawaii-born and raised baritone, Quinn

12 cadets, students named to The Citadel’s Fall 2021 Dean's List

The Dean's List at The Citadel is a recognition given to cadets and students who are registered for 12 or more semester hours and whose grade point average is 3.20 or higher, with no grade of I (Incomplete) and no grade below C for work in a semester. The more than 1,300 cadets and students recognized for their academic achievements during the fall 2021 semester include these cadets and students from Beaufort: Brendan Bowersox, Kyle Davis, Ryan Henrickson, John Hewlett, Ethan McKenzie, Matthew Polk, Reed Reichel, Christopher Rohrer, Elliott Ruoff, Cody Spencer, Thomas Conrad and Jonathan Lehman. Cadets who are named to the

Kelsey, is singing Rigoletto. When my husband and I lived in Honolulu, we heard Quinn sing several times as a young college student. A big guy with a big voice, it was clear that he was going to mature into a great singer. While he’s been around at the Met for quite some time, this is his big moment, and we send him lots of Aloha and Ho’omaika’i. Singing the role of Rigoletto’s daughter, Gilda, is soprano Rosa Feola. She and Kelsey are great friends and have sung these roles together quite a few times in the past, so expect synergy between the two.

The Music The beauty of the music in Rigoletto makes this tragedy all the more compelling and powerful. Look for the Duke of Mantua (Piotr Beczala) to sing one of the most popular arias of all time in Act III, La dona èt mobile. (You’ve heard it even though you may not know it.) And it will be really interesting to see how they present the famous quartet also in Act III, Bella figlia

Non-cadet students on the dean's list are presented a certificate; veteran and active duty students are also awarded challenge coins. The Citadel offers a classic military college education for young men and women focused on leadership excellence and academic distinction. The approximately 2,400 members of the S.C. Corps of Cadets are not required to serve in the military, but about one-third of each class earn commissions to become officers in every branch of U.S. military service.

Eagles come out on top in pair of region slugfests

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com The Beaufort Academy and John Paul II boys basketball teams traded haymakers for three quarters Tuesday, but the Eagles’ edge in the paint and on the boards helped them remain standing at the end of a slugfest and escape with a 68-63 road win in a key SCISA Region 4 matchup. Sully Gay poured in 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting and dished out four assists, and freshman big man Amarion Wilson added 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting and six rebounds as the Eagles flexed their muscle inside to outlast the Golden Warriors. Gay got hot early, scoring 14 points in the first quarter as BA ran out to a 12-point lead after one period, but JPII settled in and got some stops on defense, using long rebounds and takeaways to produce layups at the other end with a swift transition offense. JPII’s Mark Knight and Jackson Ogden flourished in the second quarter, and Austin Floyd splashed a 3-pointer and knocked down another bucket as the Golden Warriors pulled even at 31 at halftime. It was still tied after a backand-forth third quarter and was knotted at 52 when Zeke Gonzalez hit a three from the left wing to put BA ahead for good. Gonzalez scored again on the next possession to extend the lead to five, and Gay scored two buckets on one trip after the Eagles tracked

down his missed and-1 attempt to bump the lead to nine with five minutes left. Knight hit a triple at the other end to give the Golden Warriors hope, but they didn’t get closer than six the rest of the way. “Credit to BA, they were the more physical team,” JPII coach Mac Tamminen said. “They wore us down and capitalized on their inside game.” Gay and Wilson did most of the damage on the scoreboard, but Gonzalez gave the Eagles a spark all night with six points, seven assists, and five deflections. “Scrappy Gonzales does such a great job at the point guard position,” BA coach Nick Field said. “He makes the game easier for the other four guys and puts them in positions to score.” Knight led JPII with 20 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while Finn Mahoney added 13 points and nine boards, and Jackson Ogden had 12 points and four assists. The Eagles kept it rolling Thursday, as BA and Thomas Heyward battled tooth and nail in a SCISA Region 4 boys basketball clash, but the Eagles had a bit more bite down the stretch. The atmosphere was electric at BA as the Eagles and Rebels battled it out until the final whistle before BA (215, 4-0) escaped with a 53-49 home win to keep pace in the region standings. Braydon Dineen scored 14 points to lead a balanced ef-

fort from BA on a night when points were at a premium, while Amarion Wilson added 10. Sully Gay had nine, and Zeke Gonzales contributed eight, including a a huge 3-pointer late. “We turned it over way too much and did not capitalize inside early enough,” BA coach Nick Field said. “We settled in at halftime and found a grove. Our guards did a better job at taking care of the ball and our bigs did a better job at finishing.” The energy inside the gym was in full force when the Eagles took an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter, but the Rebels were right behind them. Both teams played physically all night, leading to 39 combined fouls that put both benches in a bind down the stretch. Brandon Howard scored 15 points, Tony O’Banner added 12, and Preston Hamilton had nine to keep the Rebels in it until the finish. “Hats off to Thomas Heyward,” Field said. “We knew they love to play physical bully ball. We prepared our guys to be more physical and to be the big dogs on the playground tonight. I’m very proud of how physically and mentally tough the guys were. We knew going into region play that every night would be difficult and would present its own challenges. I’m proud of the way our guys answered a little adversity.” For daily local sports coverage, visit LowcoSports.com.

By Bob Sofaly Beaufort Academy’s Mikeala Washington is inching closer to scoring her 1,000th point. In Thursday night’s home game with Thomas Heyward Academy, Washington scored 32 points to get to within eight points of the mark. “I knew I was getting close, realMikeala ly close, and Washington started to get a little nervous,” Washington said after the Lady Eagles’ 61-16 rout. But the score was so lopsided, officials went to a “running clock” by midway through the third quarter, and the 17-yearold junior ran out of time. “I scored 32 points. That’s my second highest score to date,” she said. “But I was getting pretty nervous. I know what a big deal this is and I’ve worked pretty hard to get here. All my hard work is paying off and is allowing me to accomplish something.” BA Coach Andrew Ienuso echoed Washington’s sentiment. “She’s works harder than anyone in the gym,” he said after the game. “She’s just eight points away. All her hard work on the court is finally paying off. She’s worked so hard to get here. And she’s only a junior.” Ienuso said the Lady Eagles’ next game will be at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, at home against Holy Trinity (10-2).

Beaufort Academy girls pick up region wins vs. JPII, THA

LowcoSports.com Beaufort Academy girls basketball stepped up big at the defensive end Tuesday, forcing 30 turnovers and shutting down the flow of John Paul II’s offense in a 63-47 road win. Mike’Ala Washington scored 17 points, Tahleea Heyward added 16, Mary Hanna Hiers contributed 14, and Kamirah Freeman scored nine in a balanced effort at the offensive end for BA, but the Eagles were even stronger on defense. “It was a great team effort tonight,” BA coach Andrew Ienuso said. “Really proud of how we played on the defen-

sive side of the ball. We forced a lot of turnovers and got out in transition, which led to a balanced scoring attack. Tremendous effort tonight in a key region game.” The Eagles led 30-21 at halftime and eased away after the break despite JPII dominating the boards. Three Golden Warriors pulled down double-digit rebounds, as Maddie Heathcott collected 16 points and 12 rebounds, Savannah Trott added 14 points and 10 boards, and Brady Mahoney had 12 boards to go with five steals. Washington had another big night Thursday to set her-

self up for an impending milestone, and BA ran its winning streak to four games with a convincing 64-16 home win over Thomas Heyward. Washington poured in a game-high 32 points, including four 3-pointers, to lead the way for the Eagles and put her at 992 career points, meaning she is likely to hit the 1,000-point plateau next Friday at home against Holy Trinity. Tahleea Heyward and Kamirah Freeman each added 12 points for the Eagles, while Brooke Smith scored five points to lead the Rebels.

Eagles hang on in region battle with Sharks

Every game has been a battle, but Beaufort High boys basketball is still standing tall atop Region 7-4A. Michael Dennison and Zyrin Odom posted double-doubles, and the Eagles took care of business at the foul line to hold off May River for a 74-66 home win Tuesday to stay perfect in region play. Michael Dennison racked up 26 points and 10 rebounds, Odom collected 21 points and 13 boards to go with three steals, and James Dennison contributed 14 points, eight rebounds, and six assists for the Eagles, who got off to a quick start and kept the scrappy Sharks at arm’s length the rest of the way despite 20 points from James Layman. James Dennison scored six of his 14 points in the fourth, hitting both ends of a key 1-and-1 before adding a couple of late buckets to help

Beaufort hang on. Jake Alvarez also had six points for the Eagles as he works his way back from injury.

Golden Warriors work OT for two region wins

Thomas Heyward’s Brandon Howard had a huge second half to help the Rebels erase a double-digit deficit and force overtime, but John Paul II’s Jackson Ogden was too much in the extra period, scoring eight of his gamehigh 25 points to lead the Golden Warriors to a 68-62 home win in a key SCISA Region 4 matchup. The Golden Warriors held a two-point lead with threetenths of a second left in regulation, but Howard perfectly executed a lob on an inbounds pass under the Rebels’ basket, and Tony O’Banner tipped it in to force another five minutes. Ogden took over in the extra period, and Mark Knight hit 4 of 5 from the line down the stretch to help the

Golden Warriors close it out. Ogden finished with 25 points, including a trio of 3-pointers, to go with eight rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Knight added 20 points, four boards, and five steals, and James Keefer drilled three triples en route to 13 points for JPII. Howard scored 17 of his 23 in the second half and overtime to fuel the comeback, and O’Banner added 11 points for the Rebels. It was the second straight region victory for JPII, which also picked up big road win Thursday at Bethesda Academy with a hard-fought 52-50 triumph in double overtime. Ogden went coast-to-coast and knocked down two free throws with 1.5 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, and Knight capped a 24-point night with a go-ahead 3-pointer with 25 seconds left in the second extra period to lift the Golden Warriors to a key region win.

Cayce Graves led the way with 14 points and four steals, while Brady Mahoney added 10 points, nine boards, and five steals in a terrific effort.

Beaufort High Eagles avoid upset with fourth-quarter flurry

By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com Beaufort High’s boys had their backs against the wall as they faced a devastating defeat Saturday, but the Eagles showed their mettle and pulled out a thrilling road victory. James Dennison put up 14 points and 15 rebounds, and the Eagles overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to survive a 42-40 battle at Bluffton and stay perfect in Region 7-4A play. “Those guys never gave up,” head coach Jeremy Huff said. “They’ve got more heart than anyone I’ve seen in a long time. We learned that if we all stick together, good things are going to happen.” It couldn’t have started out much better for Beaufort High, as “The Firm” of James Dennison, Michael Dennison, and Zyrin Odom controlled the play in the paint to take an early 8-2 lead. A desperate Bobcat team turned to its main man for a spark, and Jaylin Linder went to work, scoring seven quick points including a dazzling spin-o-rama layup to cut the deficit to one. Beaufort High’s frontcourt continued to win the battle on the glass, but the Eagles missed some point-blank layups and struggled from outside to keep their rivals in striking distance. Then the Bobcats made their move. With the visitors up by five, center DJ Aiken got the home crowd back into it, posting up for a textbook finish at the rim before Linder powered in another layup just before the buzzer to seize the momentum and go into the locker room within just a point at 18-17. Bluffton jumped on top just moments into the second half, as senior sharpshooter Nic Yanez drilled a triple to give his team its first lead since the opening minutes. The goahead shot set up a dominant 17-6 third quarter surge for the underdogs, as Bluffton’s athletic defenders denied easy looks for Beaufort’s bigs while cutting off passing lanes to set up a revitalized Bobcat

“That just showed how much heart our whole team has,” Huff said. “They weren’t going to let Bluffton get that rebound, it was all about us getting it.” The Firm came through with another stellar effort on the road, as James Dennison led the way with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Odom put up 12 points and 13 boards, while Michael Dennison also secured a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Linder was sensational for the Bobcats in a tough defeat, leading all scorers with 24 points. Beaufort High (9-4, 6-0) earns a well-deserved night off Tuesday before hosting James Island in a bout of the region’s final two unbeaten teams.

The Eagles couldn’t contain a high-energy Linder, who sliced through Beaufort’s menacing frontcourt to cash in at the foul line and convert a pair of tough layups to raise the lead to eight. With just seconds to play in the period, the Bobcat star struck again, banking in a jumper at the buzzer to erupt the home crowd and put the Eagles on the ropes with a 10-point deficit. The hole was deepening with just eight minutes to play, but Huff and the Firm were ready for the challenge. The Eagles turned up the defensive pressure down the stretch, cutting into the lead with some hardearned buckets in the paint from Odom and the Dennison brothers to make it a six-point game with just over five minutes to play.

Linder answered back with a three-ball to give the Bobcats some more cushion at 39-31, but Beaufort’s bigs continued to clean up on the glass as Odom rattled off six quick Eagle points to help cut it to just three. “We were in a little bit of foul trouble, but we said, let’s put some pressure on them to make some mistakes, and we stepped up,” Huff said. “The guys in foul trouble didn’t foul, and we just played good, hard defense those last few minutes.” The nervousness on the Bluffton sideline continued to grow with every passing second, and a hungry Beaufort squad just kept rolling. Odom passed the baton to James Dennison down the stretch, and the elder Dennison delivered a putback to cut it to one

before finishing a transition layup from Odom to go back on top. The Bobcats got break after break with missed free throws and a lane violation down the stretch, but a scrappy Beaufort squad cleaned up every bad shot and loose ball as the clock continued to tick down. After five straight misfires from the line, Michael Dennison ended the drought to go up 42-40, but a clank on the back end led to a wild Beaufort floater, and Linder corralled the board and sprinted upcourt. The junior brought it into the paint with a head of steam looking for the tie, but the shot was defended perfectly before a last-gasp effort by Yanez couldn’t beat the buzzer. It wasn’t the prettiest, but the Eagles went back to Lady’s Island with a wild win.

Bluffton girls basketball survived a defensive scrap to stay perfect in region play Saturday, holding off visiting Beaufort High, 28-20, to remain unbeaten in region play since 2019. The Bobcats found a big early spark from forward Ja’laina Mosley, opening up the scoring with a three-pointer before converting a layup to grab an 8-4 lead. But a scrappy Beaufort High squad fought back, as electric guard Quinn Wilson rattled in all six of her team’s points in the first quarter to cut it to a pair. Beaufort’s defense held a potent Bluffton attack in check, packing the paint and double-teaming standout forward Madi Washington as the Bobcat guards struggled to hit from deep. Bluffton finally got back on track with a Tacoya Heyward layup before a technical foul swung the momentum back to the home side, but a resilient Eagles squad finished off the half on the right footing to make it just a 13-10 contest at halftime. The Bobcats got back to their game after the intermission, as sophomore Katie Rodney sent a beautiful bounce

Bluffton’s defense stepped it up even further in the third quarter, creating havoc in the backcourt and forcing miscues to limit the Eagles to just four points in the frame and build a 23-14 advantage. Bluffton’s offense couldn’t find its rhythm down the stretch, but the Eagles failed to capitalize on some late looks as the Bobcats held on for an eight-point win. It was a day where scoring was hard to come by, but Washington battled through a tough first half to pace Bluffton with a team-high nine points. Heyward and Mosley tallied a key six points each, and Rodney added four. Wilson impressed in a strong Beaufort High effort, pacing her squad with eight points. Beaufort High (2-11, 0-5) is back in action Friday in a home matchup with James Island. For daily local sports coverage, visit LowcoSports.com.

Sharks, Seahawks take care of business in region quad

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com Region frontrunners May River and Hilton Head High took care of business against rivals Beaufort High and Bluffton, and the Eagles knocked off the Bobcats in the finale of a four-team Region 7-4A dual meet Wednesday at HHIHS. The first-place Sharks re-

mained perfect in region duals with a 64-15 win over Beaufort and a 77-4 rout of crosstown rival Bluffton, while the Seahawks solidified their grip on second place with a 63-15 win over the Bobcats and a 57-23 triumph over the Eagles. Beaufort capped the night with a 48-21 victory over the Bobcats to position the Eagles for a third-place finish in

the region. Beaufort’s Adam Burvenich and Colton Phares were 3-0, and Burvenich recorded three pins, while John Legree and Ian Newell each won twice. Beaufort is 1-2 in region matches and was slated to travel to Colleton County on Wednesday before hosting the Region 7-4A individual qualifier Saturday.

Lowco stars, coach named to SCFCA Palmetto Champions Team

By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com The postseason accolades continued to roll in for a pair of Lowco football stars and a head coach Tuesday, as Whale Branch lineman Xavier Chaplin and Beaufort High defensive end Alvin Wilson and head coach Bryce Lybrand were named to the prestigious 2021 South Carolina Football Coaches Association Palmetto Champions Team. A total of 25 players and 10 coaches were selected to the all-star team, including an Upper State and Lower State back, lineman, and head coach alongside one specialist representative for each SCHSL classification. Wilson was the anchor of

6-foot-3, 240-pound senior was nearly unblockable in 2021, racking up 80 tackles and a Lowco-high 28 tackles for loss. Wilson was a go-to

playmaker when the Eagles needed a spark, notching 8.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries to go along with 19 quarterback pressures. He was a force in stuffing the run to put his opponents behind the sticks while wreaking havoc with his pass-rushing skills. Wilson’s play was paramount for the success of Beaufort High head coach Bryce Lybrand, who led the Eagles to their first SCHSL title game appearance since 2007. The third-year head coach started the season 4-0, taking down a trio of strong Georgia teams including eventual GHSA 4A state champion Benedictine. Lybrand’s brilliant coaching was on display on a phenomenal postseason

run, vanquishing Lower State power Myrtle Beach and a potent West Florence squad before falling to former mentor Devonte Holloman and South Pointe in the SCHSL 4A state championship game. Lybrand had been connected to the open coaching position at A.C. Flora, where the athletics director, Ed Moore, was an assistant football coach when Lybrand played at Greenwood High School, but LowcoSports. com confirmed last week that Lybrand had withdrawn from consideration. A standout lineman on both sides of the ball, Chaplin delivered a monster year for the Whale Branch Warriors to finish out his high school career. The two-way

star helped pave the way for a dominant ground attack led by senior teammate Joseph Hicks, as the Warriors ran for a whopping 2,064 yards and 31 touchdowns while averaging 206.4 yards per game. Chaplin was also a menace on the defensive line to lead a stout Warrior unit, finishing the season with 52 tackles including 11 behind the line of scrimmage. A terrific athlete with a high motor and elite physical strength, Chaplin has been highly recruited by top-tier Division I schools and is currently committed to Virginia Tech. Due to continued COVID-19 concerns, the annual banquet to honor the team was canceled for the second consecutive season.

FAITH THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

Resisting the temptation to be discouraged R ecently, I had an opportunity to chat with a wonderful lady as she shared with me her health issues and other concerns. Suddenly she stopped and wanted to know if she could ask me a serious question. I said of course, and she proceeded to relay that she felt silly asking me about salvation, especially with her being a church member since she was a child. She wanted to know how she can know that she is going to heaven? I do not believe this is anything to be embarrassed about, in fact, it’s rather common as I examine my own heart and soul often. I could sense the heaviness of doubt was stealing her spiritual joy, and this stress can escalate into fear and anxiety. I spent some time reminding her about the spiritual fundamentals of faith and salvation. I suggested that she be honest with God and tell Him how she feels. After I left, I continued to think about how easy it is for any of us to drift away from the peaceful harbor of hope and spiritual confidence and how important it is to keep a positive perspective and remain focused on God’s perfect truth that can never fail. The opposite of peace is

being anxious, and we often experience fear and worry when we are uncertain about what is going to happen. This negative energy has the intention to consume us and control our mind and will continue to haunt us until we choose to battle against it. Spiritual warfare is a reality, and it’s the believer’s responsibility to call on the Lord for help as we defend against being overwhelmed by the darkness of panic, pity, and depression. Living in divine peace is not something that happens naturally, and like optimism, is a learned behavior. People or circumstances cannot dictate our thoughts unless we allow it. Everyone is held accountable for their choices with how they respond and react to every situation. We realize we need to trust God and that He calls us to stand strong in times of adversity, but this state of mind will require persistent prayer and

self-discipline. Faith believes that nothing surprises God which includes Him understanding the trials and pain we are suffering. Being convinced that Christ will intervene and provide for us along with accepting that His authority and power is greater than any problem that might threaten us will bring comfort and assurance. Constantly reminding ourselves that God is listening, and that He is aware of everything that is

going on in our lives is the path to trusting and resting in His perfect peace and security. Psalm 29:11 declares, “The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.” There is no greater confidence or joy than to be filled with God’s presence. Spiritual peace is far beyond our physical emotions as His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. His love

and compassion is stronger than what is tormenting us and chases away our worries and distress as He floods our hearts with courage and fortitude. Be encouraged today, Jesus is victorious and His promises are guaranteed to quiet our soul and replace our restlessness with safety, confidence, and calm. Proverbs 3:24 reminds us, “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”

One of the many names for Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and soon He will return and establish His kingdom of purity and joy for all eternity. We celebrate this truth and look forward to experiencing the freedom from conflict and chaos, but we do not need to wait until then to embrace this lifestyle of trust and hope. If we choose to abide in God’s presence no matter how intense the storms are raging, we are safe under the shadow of His protection. The world is growing darker, but the increase in confusion cannot diminish God's truth on which we stand. It’s only when we drift away from His promises and lean on our understanding that we become troubled and perplexed. Give him your worries in exchange for His tranquility. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.

My old man really loved Smallpox

t is Wednesday, and I’m at the Cafe du Monde, just off Jackson Square, and have my cafe’ au lait ($5.43) and three beignets ($3.40). I have music — a trombone, trumpet and French horn — and a view of Andrew Jackson, who forever rides his horse celebrating his victory over the British. New Orleans is in the process of re-evaluating its statues and Robert E Lee and the former Chief Justice of its Supreme Court have been removed from view. In the case of the Judge, he ruled against Homer Plessy (who was one-eighth Black) and legitimized the “Separate But Equal” doctrine. But so far this re-evaluation has not extended to Andrew Jackson and his slave-owning history. This morning my thoughts are focused on a forthcoming drive up the Natchez Trace through Mississippi and into Tennessee. The planning for this trip has been minimal, mostly an internet search looking for hotels and places

where we can eat. This is not the kind of planning my family did when I was a child. That planning involved a serious study of Good Gulf Maps; finding military bases along the route where we could stay in the Transient Officer’s Quarters; and hoping our ancient Buick had another 2,000 miles left in its transmission. In those days it was my job was to navigate — telling my father when and where to turn. This was not easy in the 1950s when there were no interstate highways and, importantly, when one had to work their way through cities like Cincinnati, Mobile and Indianapolis without any sat-

ellite-connected assistance. My father always had a 500- or 600-mile goal including $5 a night transient bedroom at Ft. Leonard Wood or Luke Air Force Base. This goal meant a pre-dawn departure and usually an ETA sometime after eight o’clock at night. These night-time drives were magical times for me because I was usually in the front seat, my mother and siblings sleeping in the back. I would, in most cases, have my father entirely to myself. These trips often involved my father’s transfer from one military hospital to another; or an Easter vacation at Big Bend National Park; or our annual July cross country drive to South Carolina (or Ohio) where my grandparents lived. It was on these long trips, with me trying to navigate downtown St. Louis in the darkness with a flashlight and a map, that he would tell me whatever was bouncing around his fertile brain. For

Your father could really tell a story. He could make Anthrax and even Tuberculosis fascinating.” years that interest centered on Tuberculosis, Typhus and Bubonic Plague. But my father was also fascinated with history and he told me about the outbreak of Typhus in 1529 causing Luther and Zwingli to break off their discussion about of the nature of the Eucharist. He told me about France’s retreat from Naples in 1526 after this same disease thinned out it’s ranks. And about Walter Reed, Yellow Fever and the digging of the Panama Canal. But his real interest was Smallpox. Smallpox was brought to the New World by explorers from Spain, Britain and France. When native Americans were exposed, Smallpox was a remarkably

efficient killer effectively hollowing-out the interior of the United States for settlement. By 1721, however, British surgeons figured out that injecting pus (into a shallow wound) from a smallpox pustule was a way to ward off death. And yes, a few folks died, but many only developed mild symptoms. The French did not like these odds, but the British and the Spaniards embraced the primitive, apparently effective vaccination. In 1798 Spain would send its doctors, with instructions, to the New World to show local doctors and missionaries how to administer Edward Jenner’s newer technique. My father would often deliver his story in the form

of a man who was otherwise undistinguished and then, for reasons that had to more to do with chance than skill, found himself working in a cluttered, unheated laboratory somewhere in Berlin or Paris. In the course of his work — and sometimes her work — he would do something trivial, sometimes accidental, then see unexpected results. In that moment he or she would make a connection between the accident and what was happening in a petri dish. In 1998 I was at my father’s funeral when several of his former medical students came up to me saying, “Your father could really tell a story. He could make Anthrax and even Tuberculosis fascinating. But your old man really loved Smallpox. He was a natural born teacher.” Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

McConnell’s words betrayed lingering prejudice

he slight was uttered in such a matter-of-fact way it almost didn't register with me. I had to watch the clip a second time: “If you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.” This was Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell attempting to rationalize why Black voters should not worry about Democrats’ inability — so far — to pass major voting rights legislation. Never mind that the last election took place before the Republican Party set up barriers across the country aimed at limiting voting access, especially in communities where voters of color live and vote. McConnell walked back his comments a couple days later, saying he was offended by a “blatant mischaracterization” of his words. He had in-

TERRY MANNING

advertently left out the word “all” in front of “Americans,” he said at a news conference. Besides, “I have had African American speech writers, schedulers, office managers over the years.” Just because you hire Black people doesn’t mean you respect them as equals, Sen. McConnell. This notion, however, that some people are “real” Americans and some are not is not new and is not limited to Mitch McConnell. From its beginnings, this country

has regarded Black people as less than, whether we were treated as property or literally “three-fifths” a human being. The 14th Amendment superseded that definition legally, but changing laws is not the same as changing hearts and minds. The truth is, even though being born here is enough to qualify us, Black Americans historically have done more than enough to earn the right to be called “American.” We survived the lower-deck horrors of the Middle Passage. We taught our oppressors how to grow crops that earned them immense wealth and fueled economies that made America a world power. We gave this country distinctive music forms like blues, jazz and hip-hop. We created new cuisines. We enlisted to fight in wars to guarantee freedoms for oth-

ers that were denied us the second we stepped foot back onto American soil. We built factories where we were denied employment and homes in neighborhoods where we were not allowed to live. We watched our best and brightest, our greatest minds, our most urgent voices, be cut down before their time. We marched. We voted. We assimilated, embracing wholly what it means to be American while hanging on to traditions that tied us to our African-ness. We strove under the promise of an American Dream often denied to us in hopes that one day that dream might pull us out of the 400year nightmare that has been our collective experience. We have survived systemic racism and sanctioned violence designed to keep us from prospering, from owning,

from building wealth we can pass down to our children. We watch as members of other nationalities come to these shores and are embraced wholeheartedly. Even when their pigmentation is darker than ours, when their names are more exotic, these immigrants are allowed to come and go freely, to live and to thrive. So what else do Black people have to do to earn our place? What else do we have to do to be considered “American?” To have our rights recognized without needing constant reaffirmation? To stop being challenged for exercising the most basic freedoms of life and the pursuit of happiness? Is the answer as simple as, stop being Black? I’m happy to tell you it’s not going to happen, and America should be happy that is the case.

See, most of us still believe in this nation’s founding principles. Along with faith in whatever deity we choose to worship, this belief is part of what gives us the hope that we need to get by from day to day, to keep sending our children out into a world that seems to envy everything about them, but not them. It’s one reason we are over-represented in the military and the service jobs we all found so “essential” when the pandemic struck. It’s why we still go to the polling place, and not the gun store, to find mechanisms to make our voices heard. Terry E. Manning lives and works in Savannah, Ga.

A conversation with Mr. Garcia, and a lesson learned

grew up in the 1950’s in a small city in eastern New Mexico. Those were, comparatively speaking, much simpler times. General Eisenhower was president, the war had been won, and the country was prospering. Anyone who wanted a job had one, so life was good. I didn’t realize it at the time but that little town was a microcosm of American immigration. The town didn’t exist until 1909. The Santa Fe railroad found an abundant supply of good fresh water that could be had by drilling shallow wells. They decided this was the perfect place for a terminus on their main line that ran between Chicago and California. The rolling plains had few permanent residents before because there was no surface water for more than a hundred miles. The Santa Fe Railroad built a large switching yard, a round house to service the steam engines, a repair facility for the railroad cars, and large stock yards to handle the shipment of the thousands of cattle that were raised in the area. Not far behind the stockyard came the meat packers who established slaughterhouses next to the stockyards, and with all of this came lots of good paying jobs, with the jobs came people and a small

town began to grow. Wells were drilled and windmills began to sprout up across the plains on what had been miles and miles of Buffalo Grass became farms and ranches. Second generation freedmen came from the south seeking a new start, and began to fill some of the jobs in the repair facilities and on the trains. Newly arrived immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Germany and Eastern Europe came west on the trains took jobs and opened business. Mexicans came from the south bringing knowledge of cattle and ranching. Hispanic families that had been in New Mexico for hundreds of years came from other parts of state to find new opportunity. Cattlemen from Texas, farmers from the east and the midwest came to get free or inexpensive land under the Homestead Act of 1876. That is what brought my parents’ families to the area. By the time I came along,

JANUARY 27–FEBRUARY 2, 2022

the town and the country had survived some hard times, World War I, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl days, and was on the way to winning World War II. The town had grown into a small city with a population of 25,000 people, most of whom didn’t care much where you came from, but who you were now. I don’t remember any hyphenated national names, I just thought we were all just plain Americans, but there were still a few lessons to be learned on that subject. Mr. Garcia was a neighbor who lived three houses down on the same block as our family. He was out in his yard when I walked by one day. I said hello and stopped to talk. The subject of the approaching annual rodeo came up, and I ask if he and some of the other Mexican men were going to ride in the rodeo parade. He and a group of men, dressed as Vaqueros on beautiful horses with fancy Spanish halters and saddles usually rode in the parade every year. He got a kind of funny look on his face, and asked me where my family was from. I thought that was a strange reply, but I told him that as far as I knew my parents families were from Texas. He said “no, I mean where they came to America from?” I had to admit that I

had never thought about it, and that I didn’t really know. He asked if I considered myself an American. I answered yes. He explained that his family had come from Spain, to Mexico and then on to New Mexico over three hundred years ago, and did I think that qualified him as being an American. I, of course, answered yes, absolutely. Then why, he asked, did I refer to him as a Mexican? He pointed out that most of our families came from some other country, and there is nothing wrong with being proud or your heritage, but that we were now all Americans, and that is what is really important, and that he preferred being referred to simply as an American. I later learned from his son, that he served in the Marine Corps in the South Pacific in World War II, and had been involved in the invasion of Iwo Jima and several other island campaigns, and was a true American hero. Mr. Garcia was a proud and wise man who taught me a lesson that day. I remember a drawing that was in most of the American history books at the time. It was drawing of a big pot, with people from all over the world shown going into the pot. The caption was “America, the melting

pot of the world.” That the Latin phrase on the Great Seal of the United States reads, “E Pluribus Unum” means “from many, one.” The chapter went on to explain that the greatest strength of America comes from the fact that we were a nation made up of people from many nations, and each culture brought something special to the whole. I haven’t seen an American history book in a lot of years, but I hope that chapter is still there, and that student’s today see, and learn that lesson, because it is probably more important today than ever before. Americans, whether they have been here for generations or just arrived, need to understand that we have much to be proud of, and that America is a very special place. From the beginning of our history to the present day millions of people from all over the world have endured great hardship to come here, some of their own free will, some not, but it is that willingness to give up everything and work hard for the chance at a better and freer life that has made us what we are today. The mix of culture, knowledge, and custom truly gives meaning to “E Pluribus Unum.” There is much in today’s news about the problems of immigration and what

should be done to stop unlimited free immigration across our open borders, and that concern is justified. We need to know who is coming to America and why. Most are coming seeking a new and better life, but some are coming to do us harm, and we don’t know the difference. We should have a way to separate the two. The answer is for Congress to pass sensible, workable immigration laws that allow for honest, hard-working people who want to come here to be able to do so legally without years of red tape bureaucratic delays. We need immigrants just a much today as ever. They bring strength to who we are, and what we will become, but only Congress can make that happen. Why don’t they? The next time you get a chance, you might want to ask your Congressman or your Senator that question.

Learning by shared experience

Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island hosts 1st Educators Workshop of 2022 By Sgt. Danielle Prentice 6th Marine Corps District PARRIS ISLAND — Members of the education system and media outlets from Louisiana and Florida attended an Educators Workshop from Jan. 11 through Jan. 14 aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island. The workshop provided the attendees with an in-depth experience of what life is like for a Marine Corps recruit. “The Educators Workshop has been tremendously helpful by giving us a first-hand view to assist our students with questions,” said Gary Blood, the Principal at Port Barre High School in Port Barre, Louisiana, with 20 years of experience in the education system. “It gives us a first-hand opportunity instead of seeing something on TV.” The Recruit Training Regiment provided drill instructors to escort the workshop in the same manner as recruits in training. Drill instructors also provided the same receiving speech recruits go through when they arrive at MCRD Parris Island. “I loved the experience. My favorite (part) was the yellow footprints,” said Blood. “Arriving up there on the bus, with it being dark and having to get off, and having the DIs (Drill Instructors) hollering at you, and having to get on the yellow footprints. Just being able to see what the brand new recruits see when they first arrive here and the thought process that could be going through their minds.”

Photos by Sgt. Danielle Prentice, USMC. According to Blood, many of the educators who attended this workshop have since changed their view of the Marine Corps and armed services. The workshop allowed educators to address their questions and concerns regarding the enlistment process and future opportunities available to their students, which removed any preconceived notions they may have had before participating in the workshop. “I think it is beneficial for teachers to attend the workshop for a couple of reasons,” said Staff Sgt. Devin Kennett, a Senior Drill Instructor at MCRD Parris Island,

and Educators Workshop escort. “One, it gives them first-hand knowledge of the recruit training process. It is a condensed version where they get the basis of what we do with the recruits from processing all the way through to the training they go through. So, they’re able to take that back to their students and actually give them resources or tips and tricks that can help prepare them. Two, it gets the word out about the Marine Corps and about what we have to offer. There are a lot of kids out there that see the Marine Corps as just a warfighting organization, which we are, but there are a lot of

other opportunities out there that the Marine Corps can facilitate for them.” Educators Workshops provide attendees with the ability to confidently speak about what training is like and what opportunities the Marine Corps has to offer by putting them in simulations of some situations the young men and women endure when they arrive at the recruit depot, and allowing them to ask questions throughout the condensed version of the transformation process. During the tour of the Crucible, recruits’ capstone field training exercise, attendees attempted obstacles at the

Leadership Reaction Course. This experience showed them how the recruits’ ability to critically think as a team is tested in various scenarios over one portion of the 54hour training event. They were also provided several classroom-style periods of instruction where they were taught about the family readiness, tuition assistance, and many other programs and opportunities the Marine Corps provides to Marines and their families. “I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, and it has completely changed my perspective of the military,” said Emily Pettaway, the Dean of

Education at St. Louis Catholic School in Lake Charles, La. “Before this workshop, I would have been reluctant to encourage my son to join a branch of the military. However, after this amazing experience and learning about all of the opportunities, I would be so proud of him if he chooses to do so. This is an experience I will never forget.” For more information about becoming an influencer for the Marine Corps or the Marine Corps Educators Workshop, visit https:// rmi.marines.com/influencer or https://www.mcrc.marines.mil/Outreach/Workshop-Home/.

Who at the VA do I call if my Veteran expires, what does a National Cemetery burial include?

fter reading last week’s article in The Island News entitled Three VA Administrations and VA Memorial Benefits, a deceased veteran’s surviving spouse called me and asked me, “Who do I call at the VA to notify the VA that my husband has passed away?” Initial Phone Notification I told her that she needed to call the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) Benefits number, 1-800-827-1000 or 1-877-899-4400. When a veteran dies, an immediate surviving family member (spouse, daughter, son, or other closest surviving member) needs to call the VBA Benefits number and make a formal notification of death. Before calling the VBA Benefits number the survivor should have their veteran’s full name, branch of service, and social security account number ready to give to the VBA Benefits representative. When the family member calls, the VBA representative will answer any questions he or she has and will: • Check to see if your veteran has any VA life insurance. • Check and see if your veteran has any kind of pension. • Send you a survivor’s and burial packet. The survivor’s and burial packet will have in it: • A survivor’s pension application. • Burial reimbursement information and a reimbursement application. • A transportation reimbursement application. • Application for burial headstone or marker.

LARRY DANDRIDGE

Mail or FAX Death Certificate and Social Security Number After the phone call, the surviving spouse will need to mail or fax the VBA a copy of the death certificate and deceased veteran’s social security number. Mail to: • VBA, Pension Intake Center, PO Box 5365, Janesville, WI 53547 or • FAX to VBA, Pension Intake Center at 844655-1604. “What does burial in a VA national cemetery include?” Another surviving family member of a deceased veteran asked recently, “What does burial in a VA national cemetery include? I told him he can find the answers to that question at https://bit. ly/3G3whhv. I went on to tell him when a veteran, service member, or family member qualifies for burial in a VA national cemetery, they receive certain burial benefits at no cost to their family. VA burial benefits include: • A gravesite in any of the VA’s national cemeteries with available space. A surviving family member can find a cemetery at the following VA website: https:// www.cem.va.gov/cems/ listcem.asp. • Opening and closing of the grave.

• A burial liner provided by the government. • A headstone or marker provided by the government – https://bit. ly/3fUpFYw. • Perpetual care of the gravesite.

VA Memorial Items and Military Funeral Honors I went on to explain to the survivor that at the time of need, the person planning the burial can also request other VA memorial items as well as military funeral honors provided by the Department of Defense. These items and honors have other eligibility requirements. Read about VA provided memorial items at https:// bit.ly/3qYiSmU. Read about military funeral honors at https://bit.ly/33IT6u6. National Cemeteries According to the VA website at https://bit.ly/3fRIsn6, the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) National Cemetery Administration maintains 155 national cemeteries in 42 states and Puerto Rico, as well as 34 soldier's lots and monument sites. There is not a VA national cemetery in every state. State, Territory, and Tribal Veterans Cemeteries Many states have established state veterans’ cemeteries. Eligibility is similar to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national cemeteries, but may include residency requirements. Even though they may have been established or improved with Government funds through the VA's Veterans Cemetery Grants Program, state veterans cemeteries are run solely by
