Cleared for take-off MCAS Beaufort going ahead with air show despite increases in COVID-19 cases – could popular exhibition become next ‘super spreader’ event?

By Mindy Lucas Despite increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in Beaufort County and across the country, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort plans to go ahead with its biennial air show set for April, officials say.

The popular event, which fea-

tures military aircraft on display as well as aviation demonstrations by the Navy’s Blue Angels and other pilots, typically attracts 100,000 spectators or more to the free show.

Asked what factors went into the decision to go ahead with the event, or if medical specialists

were consulted in its planning, a spokesperson for MCAS Beaufort said in a Jan. 19 email that the air station was taking “a multitude of actions” such as hiring an air boss to manage the event.

While an air boss is primarily responsible for the production and execution of air show and

other aviation activities on taxiways, runways and surrounding air show demonstration areas, he or she typically does not have a background in infectious disease or prevention.

However, the air station went

HORSES ON HUNTING ISLAND

Beaufort mother of slain teen remembers her son, wants to prevent others from joining the ‘members only’ club

By Mindy Lucas When the page turned to a new year a few weeks ago, Shantay Odom realized she hadn’t been thinking of 2021.

But suddenly there it was.

Another year without her son, Marcus Graves, and another year he would never see.

It’s been 14 months since Graves’ body was found at Grays Hill Boat Landing Marcus about three Graves miles west of U.S. Highway 21 and near the Seabrook community. The 16-year-old had been shot, his body found floating in water.

No arrests have been made and the investigation into his death – flagged as suspicious – continues.

Meanwhile Odom is left to pick up the pieces and if possible, carry on as best as she knows how.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I don’t wonder anymore

I used to wonder how in the world Osama bin Laden could inspire men to hate Americans so much that they would fly a plane into a building.

I don't wonder anymore. I watched in real time over four years as citizens were fed lie upon despicable lie, as they were pumped full of vitriol and bizarre conspiracies. How they idolized a man that fattened his wallet off their naiveté. And sadly, how they turned away from friends, neighbors and even family, while bent on destroying a democracy that provided them protections even after their treasonous attempts.

May God continue to bless America!

– Beth Young, Beaufort

Keep it up

Mr. McCombs, I really appreciated your (column) in the Island News … It's surprising to me – perhaps it shouldn't be – that so many people still support Trump even after (the Jan. 6) attack on the Capitol. I expect you will get some heat from printing your article, and I admire your honesty and courage.

Keep it up!

– Aaron Miller Beaufort

‘High standards or double standards?

How about ‘no standards’

In response to "High Standards or Double Standards", I propose a third category, "No Standards." Savannah Kate accuses Mike McCombs of consuming and then spreading propaganda, resulting in what she calls a "vicious cycle of misinformation." I would suggest that Ms. Kate look squarely in the mirror after she rereads her comment.

First, let's be absolutely clear on one thing: there is a huge difference between protesting and rioting. Ms. Kate asks the question, "So long as the purpose is pushing your agenda, protesting is OK?" Yes, Ms. Kate, the right to protest is guaranteed under our Constitution, as you so aptly point out in your third paragraph, regarding the several hundred thousand citizens that were "peacefully" protesting and exercising their constitutional rights on Jan. 6.

I could argue that protesting the murder of a black man by an officer who had 16 prior complaints filed against him, an officer who held his knee on the man's throat for nine minutes, ignited a reaction (protest, if you will) by those who have suffered similar treatment

over the course of hundreds of years. And that a "handful," to use your words, turned some of these protests into riots, something I do not condone in any way.

Now let's turn our attention to example B, the looting, plundering, defecating in the halls of our Capitol, and the death of a Capitol Policeman as well as six others. Ms. Kate wants to explain this as the work of a "handful" of agitators who were condemned by both Republicans and Democrats.

I respectfully submit that it was but a "handful" of Republicans who objected, and even some of that "handful" refused to put the blame for igniting this insurrection where it belonged. The President's speech prior to this insurrection has been parsed ad nauseam, and the effect it had lies in the eye of the beholder.

However, when Ms. Kate blissfully suggests that the President advocated a "peaceful protest", I suggest that she Google his speech and read from beginning to end, assuming she can stand the rambling and the self-aggrandizement. His continued hype regarding the "stolen election" was all these well-prepared revolutionaries needed.

Forget that Mr. Trump said he would be there with them; forget that he continued his much-documented string of lies. Keep in mind that he even undercut Mike Pence in this speech, and many were heard to say, "Kill Mike Pence" as they stormed the Capitol. This massive attack was well-organized weeks in advance. This didn't just happen, spur of the moment, in the heat of an argument. It was an attempted coup, the likes of a third world country. Ms. Kate, this hardly seems like a peaceful protest, and your use of the phrase would be humorous if it weren't so pathetic.

And so it appears that the word “standard” is used rather loosely by Ms. Kate; thus I will close my response with a final entreaty: Mike, I hope you continue to author thought-provoking pieces that deal in reality, rather than some fictional interpretation of the facts.

against others.

“They were best friends,” she said.

Graves also participated in an in-school program called “Men of Strength,” or MOST. Introduced by the local nonprofit Hopeful Horizons, MOST was designed to prevent domestic and sexual violence by teaching young men how to have healthy relationships.

Graves, who would mow lawns in the summer for extra money, would also mow lawns at Christmas to raise money for Hopeful Horizons, a children’s advocacy, domestic violence and rape crisis center.

After Graves died, Odom was determined to keep her son’s name front and center and the work he had done for the center going.

That Christmas, Odom organized a fundraiser and prayer vigil in his memory and the community turned out with donations of toys and other supplies for the center.

People dropped off all manner of things for families – from unopened toys, to baby formula to diapers and baby supplies.

That fundraiser was followed with a balloon release and smaller, more intimate event on the first anniversa-

ry of Marcus’ death in 2020, again with donations going to Hopeful Horizons and though she had wanted to do a second annual Christmas fundraiser, Odom thought it best not to hold one due to the spread of COVID. The family’s efforts have not gone unnoticed.

“We are truly touched and honored the family has donated in Marcus’ memory,” Hopeful Horizons CEO Kristin Dubrowski said. “Building something out of the tragedy, out of that loss can be very meaningful.”

Dubrowski said it was even more meaningful to know that Graves had once participated in one of their programs and worked to donate money to the center.

“To have a young man to do that, that’s just amazing,” she said.

Tragically, losing a child is a club no mother wants to find herself in, Odom said thinking of the ‘Members Only’ song.

She has met other parents who’ve had a child to die from gun violence and has tried to be there for them like those who were there for her after her son’s death.

One mother whose son was shot in his car, said she would be by Odom’s side.

“She just said, I’m going to be there for you and pray with your family,” she remembers.

And recently she was there for another mother whose 17-year-old was shot and killed in Port Royal.

“Because somebody reached out to me, I reached out to them,” she said.

Looking to the future, Odom still tries to take each day as it comes but is hoping this Christmas, once COVID is under control, she can once again hold the Christmas fundraiser in Graves’ name.

It’s important to keep his name out there, she said. So that people won’t forget what happened to him.

“Somebody has to talk for him,” she said.

It’s not an easy thing – to think about what your child’s life could have been like, the grief that never quite goes away, but changes or takes a different shape with each passing day.

“It’s not easy,” she said. “All we want to do is help these kids and help these mothers, so they won’t have to be part of this club. We don’t want people to go through what we went through.”

“And really avoiding, right now when we’re in this significant increase in cases, avoid those large groups,” DHEC’s Interim Public Health Director Dr. Brannon Traxler said at the agency’s Jan. 4 statewide media briefing.

“If we can get the numbers down to much more reasonable levels, combined with increasing vaccination rates, then I think the advice regarding large gatherings would begin to evolve and change,” she said.

Dr. Traxler went on to advise that if people did decide to go out in public or attend large gatherings, they should still wear a mask and practice physical distancing.

Masks will be required to attend the air show and for paid seating, a limited number of tickets will be sold to ensure social distancing in those areas, the MCAS also said.

In addition, all common areas will be frequently disinfected by staff, and, new this year, participants will have an option to buy a Purchase Protection Plan for $5.

Those who opt for the protection plan will be refunded any event fees, taxes or dues if they are unable to attend the show due to a “qualifying unforeseen circumstance” such as illness, injury, transportation problems and other emergencies.

The plan does include COVID-19 but certain restric-

tions apply. For example, if a ticket holder contracts the virus 30 days before the event and decides not to attend or cannot attend, he or she would need to provide written notice.

The plan does not go into effect if the ticket holder decides not to attend out of fear or concern for contracting the virus.

The air station is also working with its Naval Public Health Medical Officers to determine what additional COVID-19 mitigation measures are needed to be put into place beyond the standard CDC guidelines such as wearing a mask or social distancing, officials said.

The air station is also reserving the right to cancel the event outright if needed.

“As we draw closer, if MCAS Beaufort determines we can’t host an air show safely for attendees, staff, and performers, a decision will be made to cancel or modify the event,” the email stated.

“However, given the current safety measures in place and the event being more than 90 days away, at this point in time we do not feel this is the case.”

If the show is canceled by the Marine Corps prior to gates opening, it will refund any purchased tickets, it said.

The air show is scheduled for April 24 and 25 at MCAS Beaufort.

from page A1 “I try to take it one day at a time,” she said recently from her home in the Forest Fields community. “If I don’t, I feel like I’m going to go crazy.”

Having rarely discussed publicly the events that preceded Graves’ death, Odom, a single mother who was trying to raise two teenage boys on her own at the time, recently sat down to talk about what happened that day all those months ago.

For Odom, the grief of losing a child in the manner in which she lost hers, is ever present. And it’s something that unless you’ve gone through it yourself, you can’t know what it feels like, she said.

“I tell people it’s like that song – ‘Members Only,’” she said, reciting a few lines from the song by blues singer Bobby Bland.

“Members only, it's a private party. Don't need no money to qualify.

Don't bring your checkbook, bring your broken heart.

'Cause it's members only tonight.”

Halloween 2019 On Halloween morning of 2019, Odom woke up with “a bad feeling.”

She doesn’t hide the fact that her son had been on probation with the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to that Halloween.

While she wants to keep private the circumstances of what landed Graves in trouble, she did say that he had spent some time at the AMIkids camp, a community residence program for non-violent juvenile offenders.

It was an experience that seemed to re-focus Graves.

He was adhering to his 9 p.m. curfew set by the Department of Juvenile Justice, and had even landed a job at Burger King.

“He was doing really good and getting back on track,” she said.

In addition, Odom had tried to get her son, a popular junior at Battery Creek High School, some extra attention.

Knowing boys didn’t always listen to their mothers, Odom had reached out to friends and family who could talk to Graves or spend time with him.

“Sometimes they are more

Shantay Odom, mother of slain teen Marcus Graves, is left with her ever-present grief and questions about the death of her son, whose body was found at Grays Hill Landing on Nov. 1, 2019. Officials are continuing to investigate the death, marked suspicious. Photo courtesy of Shantay Odom. likely to listen to someone else,” she said.

Odom had also made an appointment with Graves’ probation officer to have an ankle monitor placed on her son, an option the department had advised her to consider.

Odom had kept her son out of school for the appointment, but the probation officer never showed, despite numerous calls Odom made the day prior to the appointment and after the appointment.

Meanwhile, Graves who didn’t exhibit any sign of anything unusual that Halloween day, asked Odom if he could go to a Halloween party later that night.

Odom said no and reminded him he was on probation.

However, in the early part of the evening, Graves left the house with some friends who picked him up in a car.

Odom, who saw him leave, wasn’t immediately alarmed because Marcus had never broken his curfew and was always back before 9.

But when his curfew passed and he was not home yet, Odom became worried.

Thinking he must have gone to the party anyway, Odom called the sheriff’s office. She also tried Graves’ phone but her calls went straight to voicemail.

“And that never happens,” she said. “He would always call or text me back.”

As the night wore on, with still no word from her son on his whereabouts, Odom couldn’t sleep from worrying.

“I always stay up until I can lay eyes on my kids,” she said.

“And I don’t go to sleep until I can say, OK they’re in this house and they are safe.”

By the next morning, Odom was distraught. Friends tried to reassure her saying he was probably just asleep at one of his friend’s houses.

Odom was at her neighbor’s house across the street trying to remain calm when the police cars started arriving.

“I was thinking something happened, but maybe he was in the hospital or something,” she said.

Back at her home, with the house filling up with police officers, someone finally told her an unresponsive male had been found.

“It still wasn’t sinking in yet,” she said, her voice cracking. “I’m still thinking he’s alive but maybe just in the hospital.”

Finally, someone told her it was her son, and he hadn’t made it.

“I just started screaming, ‘Oh God, no,” she said.

The coroner’s office later

determined Graves had died from a gunshot wound and drowning.

According to the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Maj. Bob Bromage, the case is still actively being investigated.

“We continue to interview parties believed to have knowledge (of the case) …,” Bromage said.

Remembering Marcus Now, more than a year later, Odom fills her days taking care of herself and eldest son Akeem who will be 19 soon.

And she thinks of Marcus all the time.

“I miss his voice, that smile, that sense of humor that he had,” she said. “Both of my kids always made me laugh.”

One Fourth of July, Graves, something of a practical joker, set off firecrackers in Odom’s bedroom scaring his mother.

“They scared the heck out of me,” Odom said. “He’s on the floor laughing, and I said, ‘You know what, wait until I get my oxygen back.’”

The outgoing teenager had a lot of friends and he loved music, especially rap.

He and his brother sometimes “fought like brothers,” Odom said, but they also stuck up for each other or would defend each other

“MCAS Beaufort leadership takes COVID-19 seriously, and (will) meticulously implement CDC recommended guidelines and local medical experts’ recommendations to combat this virus,” read an emailed response sent by Kimberly Fleming, Deputy Director, Operations, Plans, and External Affairs.

The Sportsmen’s Classic usually draws about 40,000 participants, while the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival attracts nearly 300,000.

“I hoped and prayed that our situation might improve.

But I think that with what we witnessed this holiday season, we put the health of our city and our citizens at risk …,” said Savannah Mayor Van Johnson about the decision.

JANUARY 28–FEBRUARY 3, 2021

Johnson said he consulted with health officials and local leaders before making the decision to cancel the popular event originally scheduled for mid-March.

City officials were hoping to move forward with other smaller events like its traditional Mass at the Cathedral and greening of the fountain.

Meanwhile in South Carolina, Gov. Henry McMaster and the state’s Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) both have come under fire for their handling of the virus, most recently for delays and slow roll-out of its vaccine program.

While McMaster has not

moved to restrict large gatherings or sporting events so far this year, the governor did declare a state of emergency as part of his “stay home” order last March which restricted those then, but only after many of the region’s high profile spring events such as NASCAR races and the Masters golf tournament held in Augusta, Ga., moved to postpone or cancel events on their own.

The ban was later lifted in the summer.

Improving vaccination rates is key to making any future determinations about large gatherings or other such events, a DHEC official said recently.

BMH vaccinates more than 1,000 on short notice

From staff reports Mass vaccination events on Thursday and Sunday accounted for more than 1,300 of the 2,000 initial doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that Beaufort Memorial Hospital delivered last week.

The two events at Beaufort High School were organized with fewer than 48 hours’ notice after the hospital received 1,000 vaccine doses from MUSC Health, and an additional 300 doses from the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).

The refrigerated doses had to be distributed within days of receipt to avoid expiration.

“I could not be more proud of our staff and our community partners for working so quickly and tirelessly to get vaccinations in arms,” Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley said in a release. “While we can’t predict the future in terms of our vaccine supply, we can guarantee that we will not waste a single dose.”

People who attended the two mass vaccination events will receive their second doses on Thursday, Feb. 11.

Individual income tax season for 2020 opens Feb. 12

From staff reports The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) will begin accepting Individual Income Tax returns for tax year 2020 on Feb. 12, 2021, consistent with the date announced by the IRS. According to the IRS, the Feb. 12 start date "allows the IRS time to do additional programming and testing of IRS systems following the Dec. 27 tax law changes."

The SCDOR adopts the IRS date since South Carolina Income Tax returns use information from federal returns.

To save time, increase security, and save tax dollars, the SCDOR and South Carolina State Treasurer's Office are encouraging taxpayers to file electronically and choose direct deposit. About eight of every 10 taxpayers choose direct deposit now. Last year, 92 percent of taxpayers filed online.

"We are pleased that so many South Carolinians have embraced online filing and direct deposit. It's the safest, most accurate way to file," SCDOR Director Hartley Powell said in a release. "We want taxpayers to receive their refunds quickly, and

choosing direct deposit is the fastest and safest way."

"We appreciate our collaboration with the SCDOR to inform South Carolinians about the benefits of switching to direct deposits for their income tax refunds," State Treasurer Curtis Loftis said in a release. "Our focus through Operation Check Reduction has been to get funds due to taxpayers, state employees, and state vendors in the most secure and cost-effective manner possible while also reducing opportunities for fraud."

Biden temporarily bans new offshore oil drilling

From staff reports President Joe Biden took quick action on his commitment to ban all new oil drilling on public lands and waters on his first day in office.

According to the Washington Post, within hours of taking office, Scott de la Vega, President Biden’s acting Interior Secretary, issued an order preventing staff from produc-

ing any new fossil fuel leases or permits without sign-off from a top political appointee.

This effectively freezes new oil, gas and coal development on federal lands and waters for the next 60 days. Though the ban is for only a couple months, the battle over drilling off the coast of South Carolina is on hiatus for now.

The Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) are not expected to be including oil drilling in the Atlantic in their next 5-year plan for offshore energy.

Opponents of drilling off the South Carolina coast are hopeful President Biden and the Congress will make the ban permanent.

What pregnant and breastfeeding women should know about COVID-19 vaccine

Pregnant women are at an increased risk for serious illness from COVID-19. "Compared to nonpregnant women who have the same health and age, a COVID-infected woman is about 1.3 to 1.4 times more likely to end up in the hospital when she's pregnant," says Dr. Regan Theiler, a Mayo Clinic obstetrician.

Should pregnant and breastfeeding women be vaccinated for COVID-19? While there are limited data about current COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant and breastfeeding patients, there are many questions.

In this Q&A, Dr. Theiler answers questions about COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and women who plan on becoming pregnant: Should pregnant women be vaccinated for COVID-19?

Since the emergency use authorization was granted, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine have been firm in recommending that pregnant women have access to COVID-19 vaccines. That is, if women so choose, they should be able to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Can a fetus get COVID-19 if the mother is vaccinated for COVID-19?

Through vaccination for COVID-19, the baby should not be exposed to the virus. It is known that the COVID-19 vaccines are the genetic code for a single protein. It doesn't replicate in a person. It doesn't cause an infection with COVID-19.

There's no virus floating around in a woman. Any vaccine that has a live virus that's replicating is not used in pregnant women because of any theoretical risk. It is thought that there is no risk that this would cause an infection in a pregnant woman and cause an infection that goes to the baby.

Are COVID-19 vaccines safe for pregnant women?

Because this is an emergency use authorization, and because any medication or vaccine during its first iteration of trials is never tested in pregnant women, there is no direct evidence of safety in pregnancy. What is known is that there is a lack of theoretical evidence of harm.

There is no conceivable reason why COVID-19 vaccines should be harmful to pregnant women. None of

miscarriages or decreased fertility.

Again, this is a sophisticated scientific-sounding campaign that was purposefully put out on the internet to prevent women especially from getting this vaccine. It's not based in truth, and it's doing significant harm.

the components of the vaccines — the nanoparticles — are known to be harmful in pregnancy. The best evidence for pregnant women suggests that being vaccinated for COVID-19 is a lot safer than getting COVID-19.

Are COVID-19 vaccines safe for women who are breastfeeding?

There is no indication that COVID-19 vaccines are harmful or damaging to women who are breastfeeding or their infants.

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.

Do COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility?

There's no evidence of COVID-19 vaccines causing infertility.

There's been a sophisticated anti-vaccine campaign that originated online. The New York Times had a great article about it, going through the levels of disinformation and where it came from.

It sounds scientific, and it goes something like this.

There's a protein in the placenta that has similarities to viruses. And if you have antibodies to viruses that are induced by this vaccine, it will cause you to have a miscarriage and the pregnancy did not implant in your uterus.

This is completely made up.

It sounds smart. It's based in molecular biology. It's written by a scientist. But it's fundamentally not true.

If that were true, then women who had COVID-19 — millions of women now — would be more likely to have miscarriages and not get pregnant.

That's because they would have those same antibodies because it's the identical gene producing the identical kinds of antibodies in the virus infection and in the COVID-19 vaccines.

OK, so you have the same antibodies; yet, in women who have had COVID-19, there have been other viral infections with even more homology to this protein. No signals are being seen for increased

Are there recommendations for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are planning a pregnancy, to avoid getting infected with COVID-19?

Everyone should continue social distancing. Everyone should continue masking.

All of those safety measures apply to pregnant women, lactating women and women who are contemplating a pregnancy.

There are no formal recommendations yet. Knowing how good these COVID-19 vaccines are at preventing infection and how dangerous the infection is in pregnancy, the recommendation is that women stay on their contraception, go through the COVID-19 vaccination series, and then contemplate conception. COVID-19 vaccines are known to be effective.

The Mayo Clinic follows the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, as well as independent data.

Students struggling during pandemic can qualify for special assistance From staff reports Beaufort County School District K-12 students whose academic work has suffered during the coronavirus pandemic may be eligible for free special assistance.

“The coronavirus pandemic has forced instructional changes that have been challenging for many students and their families,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release.

“This new initiative is designed to identify and support those students creatively and effectively.”

Schools have already begun identifying possible student participants for ENGAGE South Carolina, a partnership that includes the district, the S.C. Department of Education, and the Grad Alliance.

Lakinsha Swinton, the district’s Director of Student Services, said students who qualify for the program and choose to participate will get an academic coach to work with them to answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to get them on track for a strong finish to the 2020-21 school year. Trained

teachers and social workers will identify students’ needs and support them, Swinton said.

To qualify, a student must be: • At risk of failing one or more classes.

• Chronically absent.

• Designated as homeless under the federal McKinney-Vento criteria.

• Living in foster care.

Families can also request the free assistance, Swinton said.

Parents of students identified as possible participants will be contacted by the Grad Alliance to gauge their interest and assess their children’s eligibility. The Grad Alliance is a nationwide program that works directly with local districts to identify, recruit and re-engage students who cannot or will not attend school, regardless of the reason.

School district launching initiative to provide counseling to employees From staff reports The Beaufort County School District is launching #YouMatterBCSD, a new initiative that will offer discounted counseling services to employees and their families.

Through the district’s partnership with Bluffton-based Hope Performance Systems, #YouMatterBCSD counseling programs can be accessed by employees and family members at any time at regional sites throughout Beaufort County.

“Whether we’re talking about teachers or administrators or school staff or bus drivers, our employees’ jobs can be stressful even in the best of times,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “The pressures of working during a pandemic have placed additional

stressors on our employees and their families.”

Beginning this week, district employees can begin attending a series of free in-person or virtual peer group sessions to introduce the new program and explain its features. #YouMatterBCSD will offer mental health supports that include peer groups, group counseling as well as individual sessions with licensed counselors from Hope Performance Systems.

Individual Counseling can include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, marriage counseling, adolescent and child family counseling, life coaching, nutritional and wellness counseling and play therapy.

Group sessions can include grief groups, eating disorders, substance abuse,

trauma stress, anger management and parenting skills.

A counselor will be housed at the District Office to provide on-site counseling services, interventions and support. Staff can choose to receive counseling at the Hope Performance Systems clinic sites or at the District satellite office.

While the District is providing peer group counseling sessions to staff at no cost, staff members seeking additional services have the option to utilize their health insurance provider or the discounted cash rate, created just for Beaufort County School District employees. Additional integrative health care options include: chiropractic care, physical therapy, dietetic counseling, acupuncture, individual per-

sonal training and virtual gym memberships.

Alice Walton, the school district’s Chief Administrative Services and Human Resources Officer, said #YouMatterBCSD will be the first in a series of new initia-

tives designed to improve the physical and emotional health of district employees.

“Our goal is to make the Beaufort County School District the best place to work in South Carolina,” said Walton, who said few if any districts

in South Carolina are offering a similar program for their employees. “Healthy, happy and productive district employees will help us support healthy, happy and productive students and their families.”

Trio of BA stars accept offers to play college hoops

By Eric Ellison LowcoSports.com After enduring the most unusual recruiting cycle in memory, a trio of Beaufort Academy boys basketball stars committed last week to play at the next level.

Malachi Rodriguez and Braxton Tolbert will remain teammates at Dabney S. Lancaster Community College next season, while Ben VanHise committed to play at NCAA Division III Methodist University.

Rodriguez and Tolbert will be taking their talents to Clifton Forge, Virginia, to play in the junior college ranks for the RoadRunners. Rodriguez received a full scholarship first, and when Tolbert received his offer recently, the duo decided to stick together at a school where they see similarities to BA. “What stuck out about Dab-Lan was first the scenery,” Tolbert said. “It is in Virginia which is a beautiful place and it’s isolated … I’ve loved the small setting [at BA] and Dab-Lan has a lot in common. What also stuck out was how welcoming they were. I can feel it. This place is going to be home.”

Rodriguez did not see himself at this point as a freshman, but the 6-foot-7 center has worked hard on his game and developed into a domi-

JPII avenges earlier loss for 2nd straight win

By Taylor Michael LowcoSports.com After being defeated by 13 points less than two weeks ago, the John Paul II girls were out for revenge against visiting Cathedral Academy on Thursday, and the Golden Warriors got it, claiming a 4846 victory over the Generals.

Freshman Cayce Graves secured the victory at the line to close out the win for JPII, which has won two straight following a four-game losing streak.

The Golden Warriors were lighting it up in the first half, racing out to a 13-2 lead after one quarter and maintaining a 25-15 advantage at halftime.

Despite tired legs, JPII maintained the 10-point lead in the third quarter, but foul trouble began to take its toll in the fourth quarter. The Generals took advantage and turned up the pressure to make it difficult for the Warriors.

Exemplifying her leadership during the game, senior captain Bella Termini held her team together at point guard and contributed all over the court with three points, four assists, and six rebounds. Senior captain Taylor Michael also had another huge night with 20 points, eight boards, and three steals, and Maddie Heathcott secured her second double-double this season with 12 points and 10 boards.

With the postponement of their next game against Hilton Head Prep, the Golden Warriors are off until Jan. 30, when they face Hilton Head Christian Academy.

“Playing at the college level was something that I didn’t think was possible until I met Coach [Nick] Field 5 years ago,” Rodriguez said.

Just a few short years ago, Rodriguez was at Beaufort Middle School and not playing organized basketball. He played for Field in the AAU circuit as an eighth grader and made Field’s JV team at Beaufort High the next year, and Field saw something in the young player.

“The first thing you notice is his overall length,” said Field, now the AD at BA. “He towered over his classmates.”

And he had the work ethic

success at the next level. I am happy I had an opportunity to develop him as a player.”

VanHise also made the move from Beaufort High ahead of his senior season, and he quickly emerged as a leader for his new team. Smith was pleasantly surprised when VanHise burst onto the scene at BA over the summer.

“We did not know we were getting such a well-rounded guy. Ben has good offensive skills, which we have been able to utilize inside and outside the perimeter,” Smith said. “He is able to motivate and direct our team both on and off the court.

I believe Ben will be a great asset to his team at Methodist

University, and he has been a pleasure to coach.”

VanHise had 11 other offers, but he said what drove his final decision was the family atmosphere and the feeling of being at home.

“My visit to Methodist introduced me to a beautiful campus of about 2,500 students,” said VanHise, who moved to Beaufort from Michigan in the fall of 2019. “The facilities were beautiful, and I loved all the people I met there from the coaches to the players. I felt comfortable and felt like Methodist was the place to be.”

VanHise attributes many of the opportunities he had to play at the next level to his work

The Bobcats continued their dominance at the defensive end, holding the Eagles to one point in the first quarter and three in the third as they build a 21-14 halftime lead and extended it to 39-17 after three quarters before coasting to the finish.

Freshman Katiey Rodney led a balanced effort for the Bobcats with 14 points, going 4-for-6 from 3-point range, while Tacoya Heyward added an efficient 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Jalynn Ferguson and Kayleigh Washington each added eight points for Bluffton.

Residents organize Beaufort Pickleball Club

From staff reports The Beaufort Pickleball Club (BPC) has announced its formation as a volunteer-run, public-benefit, non-profit corporation registered with the State of South Carolina on Dec. 29, 2020.

According to club by-laws, their mission is to encourage, organize and facilitate the development and growth of Pickleball to enhance the health and welfare of the general public North of the Broad River in Beaufort County, South Carolina.

“Due to the growth and popularity of Pickleball in Beaufort, Port Royal and our

“He always did his best and tried to do everything we asked of him,” Field said.

“That’s really all you can ask for as a coach.”

BA coach Bobby Smith was at Beaufort High as an assistant coach from 2016-18 and saw something in the big man that has continued to develop during his time at BA. “When I began coaching Malachi, I saw a young player who worked hard and listened to coaching,” Smith recalls.

“Mal was not going to see immediate success; however, he had a huge potential. He worked extremely hard, and now he is beginning to have

with Smith and Field, who also helped all three players navigate the recruiting process.

“Over the summer my recruitment took off just as Coach Field and Coach Smith said it would, as long as I put in the work, and that is what we did,” VanHise said. “We came in and got better every day and it is showing now in the season and will show next year at the collegiate level.”

The BA senior class combined to score 21 college offers, which is the most to come from a class at the school. The team has a closer bond than past teams, according to Tolbert, who has been at BA for six years.

“This year has by far been my best year playing with (BA]. The family that I call my brothers I will keep for the rest of my life,” Tolbert said. “Playing alongside the best senior class will always be a great memory of mine.”

Beaufort Academy (5-5, 0-0) has been off since a 54-33 win over Lowcountry Leadership on December 21, due to Christmas break and a positive COVID-19 test within the school. Field says there are no cases on either the boys or girls teams but is operating out of an “abundance of caution.”

O

The truth will set America free

ne of America’s greatest philosophers and an early conservationist, Henry David Thoreau wisely observed: “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

There are way too many dissolutely ambitious men in our Congress seeking fame (and fortune) today; they should heed Mr. Thoreau’s most prophetic principle of truth, which underpins the proper governance of a civilized democratic society.

During the Congressional vote to confirm each state’s vote in the Electoral College, on what is now an infamous date – January 6, 2021 – the Republican Senator from Utah, Mitt Romney, passionately preached that the best way to unite our deeply divided country was for government leaders to “TELL THE TRUTH!” Ignoring that sage advice, 147 GOP House members and eight different senators (seven objecting to Pennsylvania and six to Arizona) voted to deny some Electoral College votes that verified Joseph R. Biden as our newly elected President.

Against voluminous

evidence and absent any to the contrary, these Republican Congressional toadies elected to believe the blatant lies of ex-POTUS that somehow, some way, magically the Democrats had pulled off a nation-wide theft of the election; Donald John Trump erroneously calculated that he “won reelection by a landslide,” when in TRUTH he had lost by over six million votes.

Even after the treasonous invasion of our foremost symbol of democracy, 147 GOP House members and eight Republican senators, all who lacked courage and integrity, chose to believe ex-POTUS’s mendacious conspiracy. Over one-half of all GOP Representatives were cowardly naysayers.

The power of Lies versus the power of Truth.

Fortunately, large ma-

jorities in both Houses of Congress voted to ensure the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as President and Vice-President, respectively. The dutiful stand of all Congressional Democrats and a few courageous Republicans certified the correct and righteous outcome of the election of Nov. 3, 2020.

In this case, TRUTH was POWER. Every one of those cowardly members of Congress should be held accountable for contributing to “The Insurrection” that exploded in the Congress, disrupted Congressional voting and threatened lives. By the Grace of God, no Congresspersons were murdered or hurt though a few contracted COVID-19 because some Republicans fore swore wearing a mask.

In a most perceptive essay in the Atlantic, one brave GOP Senator, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, offered this choice for the fractured Republican Party to consider: “It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the Republican Party some time ago and has been nourished by treachery, poor political

Watching the inauguration was like a 1,000-pound weight had been lifted off my back. Its normalcy was invigorating.” judgment, and cowardice.

When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them.”

Every member of Congress takes a sacred oath, pledging to protect and defend the Republic against all enemies foreign and domestic. To honor that warranty requires courage, truthfulness, honesty, integrity and humility.

Those cowardly 147 members of Congress and eight senators who were “inattentive to their DUTY,” should take guidance from President Andrew Jackson. He himself was a controversial President, but he understood what was required to defend against our enemies, foreign

and domestic. He is said to have berated his troops for abandoning their lines at the Battle of New Orleans on Jan. 8, 1815 thusly: “The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.”

Count as cowards 147 House members and eight senators, who deserted their duty in the hour of our greatest challenge since the founding of our union, not much different from those whom General Jackson scolded. We should not only scold them, but also hold them accountable to the letter of the law and for their dereliction of duty and for violating the oath to which they swore allegiance.

During almost every day of the last four years, we have witnessed Lies to Power, and we are a poorer people for it. Now is the time for

a revolutionary beginning when Truth to Power is Power. Power for all people for whom this nation was dedicated.

The religious scriptures tell us that we should KNOW the truth, and by such truth shall we be freed. The newly elected leaders of our government owe us nothing less than the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth!

Watching the inauguration was like a 1,000-pound weight had been lifted off my back. Its normalcy was invigorating.

Hearing President Biden pledge to tell the truth sounded innovative compared to the outgoing mendacious ex-POTUS. Superman, America’s greatest mythical hero, told us he was dedicated to “TRUTH, Justice and the American Way.” So too the current administration. God Bless America.

In spite of everything, we want to remember

t is Friday, and I’m on my still damp deck. It’s early — reveille has just sounded over on Parris Island — and I’m thinking that 2020 was, for the most part, awful. But something good happened on Dec. 30, 2020.

Just before noon on Dec. 30, Beaufort County took ownership of a building and 12 acres of land just off Highway 21. This building, about a mile west of the MCAS Beaufort runway, is not particularly remarkable.

Passing motorists are, by and large, unaware that anything important happened here.

But in February 1779, Major James Gardiner was approaching the property (there was no building) with the 16th Regiment of Foot and two battalions from the 60th Regiment of Foot. He was intent on establishing a base on Port Royal Island for potential operations against Charleston.

On Feb. 3, 1779, General

SCOTT GRABER

William Moultrie and his Continental Regulars advanced westerly, from Beaufort, to stop Major Gardiner.

Among his troops were a number of African Americans as well as a militia unit recruited from Charleston’s Jewish population. Also present were Thomas Heyward and Edward Rutledge — signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Moultrie and Gardiner met on this wet, boggy, unremarkable real estate and at first they exchanged cannon fire. It is notable that Thomas Heyward handled two 6-pound field cannons and one of his rounds took out a British gun.

In those days, these cannons were made of bronze and had a range of 1,500 yards. The accuracy of these weapons was largely based on the triangulation skills of the young men who operated the guns.

Then the Brits lined up and advanced with fixed bayonets. Normally this was a signal for the American militia to run. But in this case they stayed and, in fact, advanced on the British.

Moultrie would later write that the action was “reversed from the usual way of fighting between the British and Americans, they taking the bushes and we taking the open ground.”

The battle continued for another 45 minutes when both sides began to run out of ammunition. General Moultrie had begun his withdrawal when Major Gardiner broke off the battle and left the field to the Americans. Upon his return to Savannah, Major Gardin-

er was criticized by British General August Prevost for his failure.

And so, this local shootout went down as a “win” for the Continentals when we really needed a “W.” (In many cases our Revolutionary War ancestors retreated when they came face to face with Regular Army soldiers of British or Scottish persuasion. So this face-toface victory gave our ragged forefathers a significant lift for flagging spirits throughout the Colonies.)

Some residents may wonder why Beaufort County bought this property when battlefield attendance is down. Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, Chickamauga and Vicksburg saw 3.1 million visitors in 2018, down from 10.2 million visitors in 1970.

Gettysburg saw just 950,000 visitors in 2018, this being 14 percent of what they had in 1970.

But, of course, we are talking about Civil War bat-

tlefields and that particular conflict is now approaching My Lai / Wounded Knee status in some people’s minds.

Actually some Civil War venues are seeing an increase in attendance — Stones River near Murfeesboro, Tenn. — by emphasizing running or hiking through a well-maintained pastoral landscape. Other Civil War museums are putting emphasis on slavery, deprivation on the home front and generally getting away from cannon, carnage and turning movements.

It is anticipated that our battlefield will be connected to the Spanish Moss Trail thus providing a not-so-arduous destination for downtown, cycle-riding visitors. There also might be emphasis on the Jewish Unit that fought; or the fact that an African American was part of this fight.

County Council kept this pending purchase under wraps for several years,

fearing that metal-detecting collectors would over-run the site. The Navy, who also helped with the purchase monies, was concerned that crowds might jeopardize their AICUZ landing zone worries. But all these problems were resolved on Dec. 30, 2020.

Notwithstanding the fact that Thomas Heyward ably manned the 6-pounders — and was wounded in this battle — he did own slaves.

And Jim Capers, the African American in the fray, never got his pension despite his appeals.

The record at Gray’s Hill reflects valor, tactical skill and luck. It is also evidence that we are not a perfect people. But, regardless, we still seek perfection. And yes, in spite of everything, we want to remember.

Full of Grace Mary

What is so special about Mary?

God chose Mary to play an extremely important role in the salvation of the world. Speaking through the angel Gabriel, God called Mary “full of grace” and asked her to be the mother of Jesus. Mary freely said yes to God’s request, and Jesus was conceived in her womb through the Holy Spirit. As one saint said, “No Mary, no Jesus.”

Doesn’t Jesus want us to care about him alone?

Imagine a young man starting to consider marriage. Wouldn’t he want his girlfriend to meet his parents and develop affection for them?

Surely he would not say, “Sweetheart, I don’t want you to pay any attention to my parents or get to know my friends. I only want you to care about me.” When someone loves us, we are happy that they also develop love for those whom we care about. In the same way, Jesus is happy for us to care for his mother and others he loves.

Do Catholics worship Mary?

No, Catholic Christians only worship God. Mary is a human being created by God, like all of us. We do not worship her, but we honor her as the mother of Jesus and the greatest of all the saints. She is the best example in Scripture of humility and obedience to God’s will.

What are Scriptural examples of giving honor to others?

Honoring someone means that we have respect and admiration for that person. Our highest respect and admiration goes to God, of course. But God also commands us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), church leaders (1 Tim 5:17), the emperor (1 Peter 2:17), and others in political authority (1 Tim 2:2). God foretold through Mary herself, “From this day, all generations will call me blessed.” (Luke 1:48) From the earliest centuries up to the present day, Christians have fulfilled this prophecy in our honor of Mary.

Why do Catholics ask Mary to pray for them?

Catholics pray directly to Jesus every day. He is our closest friend, and we come to him with our worries and needs. But as discussed in a previous message, we can also ask those in heaven to pray for us. The saints are not dead, but even more alive than we are, and closer to God. Scripture indicates that they are still aware of what is happening on earth and that they pray to God on our behalf. So we find it very natural to ask the saints to pray for us, and particularly Mary as the Lord’s mother.

How can Mary help in our walk with Jesus?

Just as affection for one’s mother-in-law does not weaken one’s relationship with one’s spouse, but strengthens it, so too an appropriate affection for Mary helps us to love Jesus even better.

Mary always points us to her son, just as she did during the wedding at Cana: “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:5) One is not obliged as a Catholic to honor Mary, but countless Christians have discovered that Mary’s example and intercession have led them to experience an even deeper love of Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
