Elsa hits Port Royal hard Tornado associated with storm causes a lot of damage

By Mike McCombs As Tropical Storm Elsa made its way up the South Carolina coast late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, northern Beaufort County was hammered high winds and

heavy rains. But the Town of Port Royal got the worst of the deal, suffering major damage as a result of an EF1 tornado, confirmed by the National Weather Service (NWS).

On Thursday, Town of Port Royal Mayor Joe DeVito attributed the damage to “an unusual weather event that came through” with the storm. On Monday, DeVito said it was the first tornado to hit Port Royal

By Mike McCombs As a tornado that came out of Tropical Storm Elsa ripped through the Town of Port Royal late Wednesday and early Thursday morning, it damaged 44 homes, displaced two fami-

lies and laid waste to trees and power lines all down Paris Avenue. But the storm left a serious mark on three local businesses, particularly the Port Royal Veterinary Hospital (PRVH), which is closed indefinitely while awaiting repairs. The tornado damaged boats,

Remember the big story in May about the cyber attack on Colonial Pipeline, one of the largest pipeline operators in the U.S.? The demand for ransom shut down the pipeline for days and caused panic gas buying up and down the East Coast. Stories are more and more

HBF appeals Historic Review Board’s decision on hotel, parking garage

By Mike McCombs Historic Beaufort Foundation (HBF) filed a petition on Friday in Circuit Court appealing the June 9 decision by the City of Beaufort’s Historic Review Board (HRB) to allow construction of a four-level parking garage and a four-story hotel by 303 Associates in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District. According to state law, HBF had 30 days to appeal the decision of a local review board to circuit court and did so on the last day. Of the HRB’s decision, HBF Executive Director Cynthia Jenkins

“We feel the buildings approved are not in character or appropriate for the Beaufort National Landmark District,” Jenkins said. “The buildings’ height, mass and scale overwhelm neighboring buildings. (And we believe) errors were made in the review board process. “It’s kind of ironic that this is tourism based on (Beaufort’s) architectural character. These buildings could easily kill the goose that laid the golden egg. I do want to make certain people understand the Foundation is in support of development.” According to its website, Histor-

ic Beaufort Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit education foundation created to preserve, protect and present sites and artifacts of historical, architectural and cultural interests throughout Beaufort County. “We’ve participated in a system that has worked well for the city for well more than 50 years,” Stewart said. “It’s worked well for the citizens and the property owners and the developers, and now a third party wants to have a say.” Mike McCombs is the editor of The Island News and can be reached at TheIslandNews@gmail.com.

County auditor chalks up another lawsuit for which we’ll pay

BEAUFORT n case you missed it, the Beaufort County Auditor is being sued by Beaufort County. “The County,” we’ll assume is actually the Beaufort County Council since the elected body of 11 call the shots, they decide how the tax dollars are spent. But they talk about these things – who they’re going to sue – in closed-door sessions so we don’t know much about what the council was thinking. We do know this latest lawsuit against Jim Beckert happens to the fourth he’s racked up since being elected by the people to a second four-year term in 2018. The county Treasurer Maria Wall has filed a lawsuit against him as has the county’s former chief financial officer Elisa Howard, both charging harassment. The County Council, which is being represented in this latest suit by a Charleston-based law firm, already had one suit against him for “failure to do his job.” The County Council has

LOLITA HUCKABY

also decided to put the question of whether the Auditor and the Treasurer should continue to be elected officials or appointees of the Council, a question that will be on the ballot in November. How can this be, you might ask? Wasn’t the Auditor, elected by “we the people?” And aren’t “we the people,” Beaufort County? And aren’t “we the people” going to be paying the legal fees for this, as county taxpayers. The answer is yes. HBF enters courtroom in challenge to 303 projects BEAUFORT – It’s been relatively quiet on the downtown development front as the futures of a proposed parking garage,

four-story new hotel and a new three-story apartment complex have all moved into the courts. The Historic Beaufort Foundation last week filed an appeal of the city’s Historic Review Board’s approval of the parking garage and new hotel, projects that were already being challenged by downtown property owner Graham Trask. Trask and now HBF charge the city review board was wrong to permit the projects under existing building codes. 303 Associates and Beaufort Inn, LLC, developers of the project, are also named in the lawsuits. Holy Trinity School, Beaufort Elementary, Robert Smalls Middle move forward with expansion BEAUFORT – Holy Trinity Classic Christian School’s plans for a new campus got a blessing last week from the city’s Design Review Committee. The school, located on Burroughs Avenue, will soon celebrate its’ 10th anniver-

sary and launch a two-phase building program that will include a 19,000 square foot gymnasium-fellowship hall and, eventually, a new classroom building for K-12 grades. Located in the former Battery Creek Elementary School, Holy Trinity purchased the 1950’s school campus and has grown to the current enrollment of 315 students. With the new expansion plans, the enrollment will be capped at 450. And on the topic of school construction, Beaufort Elementary renovations are drawing closer to completion after more than a year of construction trucks outnumbering school buses at the Bay Street school. The renovation project, which includes a complete overhaul of the building’s interior and a big, old brick security fence along the Prince Street side of the campus, was one of the six major projects included in the $344 million referendum approved by the voters in 2019. The largest single school

building project in the bond referendum is the Robert Smalls International Academy, formerly known as Robert Smalls Middle School, which is slated for complete replacement beginning this summer. Battery Creek High School is also slated for a new replacement building, with both Robert Smalls and BCHS scheduled to be completed by December 2022. All projects contingent, of course, on finding construction workers.

Hey, did you know there’s gonna be a new bridge to HHI? HILTON HEAD ISLAND – Okay, so Hilton Head Island’s going to get a new bridge. Not “our” problem (as North of the Broad-ers)? Not necessarily true since we, alas, don’t live in an isolated bubble, and almost everyone, unless you just don’t go out at all, has to cross over to that island every once in a while. (If you haven’t driven on U.S. 278 coming on or off the island on a Saturday, you’re REAL-

LY in for a traffic surprise.) True, we NoBs probably don’t have much stake in the future of those bridges as the 39,907 residents who live there or the hundreds who drive onto the island every day for work. But since no man is an island, as the poet John Donne pointed out, a basic synopsis of the new bridge story, thus far, is that it’s expected to cost $290 million, the current bridge is going to be demolished and a six-lane bridge will be its’ replacement. After that, it’s up to the town council, their consultants, the citizens and our friends at the S.C. Department of Transportation.

The County cites at least one instance where Beckert has interfered in the process and believes there to be more instances. • Refusal to adopt assessor’s valuations. Beckert has begun to refuse to adopt proper valuations of the assessor and has also begun to refuse to calculate interest on underpayments and overpayments.

• Refusal to comply with dispute resolution process. Beckert is supposed to notify the offices of the county treasurer and county assessor of applications for tax refunds. Beckert has stopped doing so. The County believes Beckert is adjudicating them himself. • Failure to comply with the Bailey Bill. Under the bill, the County may grant a special property tax assessment to real property that is “rehabilitated historic property” or low and moderate income rental property. Once the special assessment is granted, the owner can apply to the auditor for the special assessment. Beckert is allegedly refusing to apply the special assessments granted by the County. He has no discretion to do this. • Defamatory statements and interfering with matters outside his statutory duties. Beckert allegedly continues to make defamatory, disparaging

and disrespectful statements about Beaufort County and its officials and employees. He has sent defamatory letters to external auditors, orchestrated the filing of a baseless grievance and interfered with the operation of other County officials and offices. The County is asking for a writ of mandamus, compelling Beckert to perform his duties, as well as a declaratory judgment and an injunction requiring him to do his job. Beckert, elected to a fouryear term in 2018, is also facing two separate harassment suits from Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls and former Beaufort County Financial Officer Alicia Holland. Last year, the county moved Beckert’s office from the Beaufort County Administration Building to an office in the Beaufort Industrial Village.

Beaufort County Walk for Water set for Oct. 9 County-wide event aims to raise $75,000 for clean, safe water

July 9, 2021 Mr. Mark Elam Chairman South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control 2600 Bull Street Columbia, SC 29201 Dear Chairman Elam, Earlier this week, President Biden announced plans for the federal government to “send people door to door….to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus." Biden Administration officials have publicly described their plans as "targeted community door-to-door outreach." Thanks to the tremendous ongoing efforts of the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) - working collaboratively with state and local healthcare organizations - South Carolinians have been provided access to all available information about the vaccine as well as access to the vaccine itself. A South Carolinian’s decision to get vaccinated is a personal one for them to make and not the government’s. Enticing, coercing, intimidating, mandating, or pressuring anyone to take the vaccine is a bad policy which will deteriorate the public’s trust and confidence in the State’s vaccination efforts. The prospect of government vaccination teams showing up unannounced or unrequested at the door of “targeted” homeowners or on their property will further deteriorate the public’s trust and could lead to potentially disastrous public safety consequences. For those reasons, I ask the DHEC board to promptly issue direction to agency leadership and to state and local healthcare organizations prohibiting the use of the Biden Administration’s “targeted” “door to door” tactics in the State’s ongoing vaccination efforts. Yours very truly, Henry McMaster

From staff reports Governor Henry McMaster on Friday called on the S.C.

The governor continued: “The prospect of government vaccination teams showing up unannounced or unrequested at the door of ‘targeted’ homeowners or on their property will further deteriorate the public’s trust and could lead to potentially disastrous public safety consequences.”

From staff reports Registration is now open for the fifth annual Beaufort County Walk for Water on Saturday, Oct. 9. Beaufort County Walk for Water promotes awareness of the global water crisis while raising money to provide sustainable, safe water around the world. All money raised benefits Water Mission, a nonprofit Christian engineering organization based in Charleston that builds safe water solutions in developing countries and disaster areas. The walk will take place in dozens of locations across Beaufort County. Participants can find a convenient host location on the Walk for Water website at walkforwater.com/beaufortco and join that team, or create their own teams with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. All preregistered participants get a free T-shirt, and those registered by Sept. 1 are guaranteed their preferred size. Participants will be encouraged to carry a bucket of water on part of the 3-mile walk to symbolize the burden millions of women and children in developing countries carry daily to collect water that’s often contaminated. That unsafe water has dire consequences: a person dies from water-related illness every 37 seconds somewhere in the world, according to Water Mission.

“As little as $25 can provide one person safe water for life,” Beaufort County Walk for Water committee chair Jim Pickard said in a release. “$500 can create latrine sanitation for a community, and just over $1,000 can build solar panels for a power source.” Last year’s walk attracted nearly 400 registered walkers and raised more than $58,000, despite the pandemic and the necessity of shifting from a large group event to small neighborhood walks. Based on that success, orga-

nizers have set aggressive goals of 750 participants and $75,000 raised through registration fees, sponsorships and donations. “We’re hoping a record number of people will help us ‘pick up the bucket’ this year,” Pickard added. For more information, to register or donate, visit the website at walkforwater. com/beaufortco or call 843769-7395.

some time. “It’s going to take us a while to get it all picked up,” he said. According to Mayor Stephen Murray, the City of Beaufort was spared any serious damage. There were several road closures due to downed trees, but crews were able to remove them rather quickly. “We got pretty lucky,” Murray said. “That tornado was pretty gnarly.” Mike McCombs is the editor of The Island News and can be reached at TheIslandNews@gmail.com.

Penn Center welcomes authors to discuss Hilton Head Island book From staff reports Penn Center, in conjunction with Penn Circle, Inc., is hosting a book singing with the three authors of Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956. Thomas C. Barnwell, Jr., Carolyn Grant, and Emory Shaw Campbell, authors of this book that celebrates their Gullah heritage and culture, will be at the York W. Bailey Museum on Thursday, July 22. The recemtopn begins at 6:30 p.m., followed at 7 p.m. by a chance to meet the authors and then the book signing at 7:30 p.m. The event is free to the public. The Gullah culture, though borne of isolation and slavery, thrived on the U.S. East Coast sea islands from pre-Civil War times until today, and nowhere more prominently than on Hilton Head Island. On this barrier island, descendants of the first generations of Gullah people continue to preserve Gullah language, customs, arts, and cuisine. and in this book, they chronicle the amazing history of their secluded community from the Civil War through the 1950s, when real estate development connected Hilton

When reached by phone Monday, both businesses had recordings stating they expected to re-open in the coming days after repairs and both have re-opened. Butler Marine was back in operation on Saturday despite more than $250,000 of damage, according to Chris Butler, who said his business lost about 75 percent of its staging dock. And he said he’s going to have to wait 16 to 24 weeks to have his 40-foot-by-24-foot garage door repaired. “I’ve been in the car or boat business since 1993,” Butler

Head Island to the mainland with a bridge. The history of these Gullah islanders, little celebrated until now, is an amazing American story. Hilton Head Island was one of the first areas liberated by Union troops after Fort Sumter. With plantation owners absent, the society of formerly enslaved Gullah people embarked on the activities of freedom: enlisting in fighting for the Union army; creating the first black-governed community in the South, complete with a police force; and, when formal emancipation arrived, running for office, campaigning, and voting. This book illustrates in vivid detail the story of that vibrant post-Civil War era and the tangled perils of Reconstruction that followed, along with all of the progress and setbacks of African Americans in the South over 150 years via the lives of Gullah Hilton Head Islanders. Authors rely on the historical records and amazing first-person accounts they have gathered from their relatives and other community members to tell this riveting story. About the authors – Thomas Curtis Barnwell,

Jr. was born on Hilton Head Island on June 2, 1935 to Hannah White, a schoolteacher, and Thomas Barnwell, a farmer. Barnwell grew up on Hilton Head Island when the only transportation on and off the island was by boat. He graduated from St. Helena High School on St. Helena Island in 1954 and enrolled in Clafin College in Orangeburg. After a year at Clafin, Barnwell joined the U.S. Air Force. In 1959, he received an honorable discharge and enrolled at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. In 1960, he began working as a longshoreman, Local 1414 in Savannah. Barnwell traveled extensively to continue his education. He studied sociology at Fisk University in Nashville in 1961; community development at the University of West Indies in 1963; group dynamics at the University of Ontario in Bethel, Maine in 1964 and community development and community education at the University of Puerto Rico. Barnwell began his work in community service at Penn Community Service, Inc. While at the Penn Center, he worked in community organization, program plan-

ning, federal program orientation and implementation. His community service work continued as he held positions as Assistant Director for Beaufort-Jasper Hampton Economic Opportunity Commission, Executive Director of Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. and the Regional Director of National Consumer Cooperative Bank, Charleston South Carolina branch. Barnwell is a former board member of the Bluffton Oyster Cooperative and the Hilton Head Fishing Cooperative. He testified before the United States Committee on Hunger and Malnutrition and Human Needs in 1969 and participated in President John F. Kennedy’s To Fulfill These Rights Committee. – Carolyn Grant is a former staff writer for the Island Packet and the Greenville News.

said, “and it’s the worst loss I’ve ever taken … just the deductible.” Butler said he’s not sure exactly what his deductibles are since the damage came from a wind event during a named storm, but he’s expecting $100,000. “That’s a big whack,” Butler said. In a Facebook message Tuesday, Madison’s announced they were back open for regular business hours. “Thank you everyone for the constant support,” the post read. “We are back open regular hours (11 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday) as of today! Stay safe everyone and we will see you when your stomach starts yelling!” No such luck for PRVH. If fact, any re-opening is likely a long way off. “We had three trees impact our buildings. On to our front corner and pergola, part of a live oak came down causing

minimal damage,” said Dr. Marikay Campbell, who purchased the practice in 2009 before a large expansion two years ago. “But in the back, a couple of other trees came through our roof, broke a couple rafters, came through the attic floor and came down into the surgery suite. “The back corner took a major amount of structural damage and allowed a great amount of water inside. There was water standing in the majority of the new part of building built just a couple of years ago.” Campbell said a crane was supposed to come Tuesday morning to remove trees from the roof. The damage is still being evaluated. “Right now, we’re considered a red flag, not fit for occupancy because of the dangers from the structure,” she said. “We’ve gotten the water out through the work of the regular cleaning company.

ServPro came by on Friday to cleaning up debris. We’ve had dryers, blowers, de-humidifiers running, … all trying to pull as much additional water out as possible.” Right now, the hospital, which handled 11,000 office visits from July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021, is not operating at all, though Campbell said they are allowing people to pick up prescriptions if they’ve already been ordered. “We can’t see any patients, we can’t let anyone in the building, we’re closed for an undetermined time,” she said. Campbell and PRVH are asking for the public’s help to get back on their feet. Since PRVH is east of I-95, it is considered coastal and in the case of a wind event, has a 5 percent deductible. “It’s not 5 percent of the damage, it’s 5 percent of the total coverage,” Campbell said. “(They’re) estimating that will be about $90,000 we

Port Royal Skate Park gets a makeover

By Bob Sofaly A small army of about 35 volunteers from all walks of life converged on the Port Royal Skate Park on Friday and Saturday to do one thing – renovate the park to make it safe for skateboarders and BMX cyclists. Many of the ramp surfaces were worn and sagging in the middle and all the metal rails were worn and rusted. The popular park had not been renovated or repaired since 2017 and was in dire need of serious work, according to Rev. Conrad Meier, Pastor of Praise Assembly of God. Meier said many people

In 2013, the Secretary of the Interior and the National Park Service approved the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Management Plan in an effort to support the recognition of important contributions made by Gullah Geechee people, their history, traditions and origins. Guiding the Corridor through its re-authorization process this year is an important first responsibility for the new executive director.

Skate Lite and Transformer Rails, companies dedicated to the popular sport, sold their surface and infrastructure materials for half price. Sagging plywood and wooden frames were cut out and replaced, as were as all the metal rails. “You know when you hear people say ‘someone needs to do something’ about a particular problem,” Meier said while cutting away a heavily rusted hand rail, “well, I am that somebody.”

er really helped me to get more involved in the Gullah Geechee Corridor’s management plan, which is a guidebook really. It speaks to our purpose and structure as it pertains to the public law that established the corridor,” Smalls said. “As far as education, economic development, documentation and presentation, the plan guides us through challenges we face in our communities and through our approaches.” “I am absolutely ecstatic that we are able to place someone as capable as Ms. Smalls at the helm of our organization,” Hoskins-Brown said in a release. “She is eminently qualified, uniquely prepared, and profoundly representative of the community.” It’s safe to say that Smalls wasn’t necessarily expecting this opportunity to arise. After leaving Penn Center, she applied for the job with the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park Beaufort. After a long vetting process, Smalls got the job.

Volunteers work together to remove a section of the old plywood decking at the Port Royal Skate Park on Friday afternoon. About 35 volunteers helped to repair the popular park. “We are ALL that somebody,” he said proudly while “I just knew this was where I was going to retire,” Smalls said. “I love talking about the history of this place. But seven months in, I’m being asked if I would even consider being the executive director of the Gullah Geechee Corridor. My heart told me to say yes.” A member and descendant of the Gullah Geechee community, Smalls began her professional work in Beaufort County in 2012 at the Historic Penn Center, one of the country’s first schools for formerly enslaved people on St. Helena Island, serving five years as the Director of History, Art, and Culture and Director of the York W. Bailey Museum. In 2019, Smalls returned to serve in various roles, serving as the cultural, historical, and creative diplomat for Penn Center, and provided leadership and strategic direction for the department, articulating positive impacts of the Penn Center’s 159- year history to the public. Smalls’ other roles have

Smalls, who has also worked as an early childhood educator in Beaufort County Schools, is also a studio artist and arts educator and spent time working with artists at the famous Red Piano Too art gallery on St. Helena Island.

Are sunglasses necessary for children?

Children spend a lot of time outside enjoying going to the pool, taking part in sports or just outdoor playtime. Likely, they are outside with sunscreen to protect their skin. But a question that sparks a lot of interest from parent centers around eye protection and sunglasses. Mayo Clinic Health System providers say children receive more annual sun exposure than adults. This increased exposure to sunlight increases risk of eye damage from ultraviolet (UV) light — an invisible electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. Unlike adult eyes, children's eyes are still maturing and cannot filter out the harmful UV rays as effectively. "Children's eyelids and skin around the eye are delicate and more vulnerable than adult skin," says Nitika Arora, M.B.B.S., Mayo Clinic Health System glaucoma specialist in ophthalmology. "Damage from UV rays builds up over time. Long-term eye problems not specific to children could include cataracts and age-related macular degeneration that can blur vision, dull colors and lead to the development of a pterygium, which is

a noncancerous growth of tissue on the surface of the eye." There also are some shortterm physical side effects from too much UV light, including photokeratitis, also known as "snow blindness." This occurs when UV rays reflect off sand, water, ice, and snow, or if you stare at the sun. Photokeratitis is like having a sunburned eye. Fortunately, sunglasses will protect the skin around the eye and the eye itself. Consider having your children wear sunglasses every day. UV rays can still damage eyes on cloudy days.

Keep these tips in mind with selecting sunglasses for your children:

(short- length) rays. Look for large wraparound-style sunglasses that cover a lot of skin. If your children need to wear corrective lenses, you may want to consider photochromic lenses, also called transition lenses, to eliminate the need for sunglasses. Photochromic lenses automatically change from clear lenses to darkened lenses in the presence of sunlight.

1. Look for UV protection. Sunglasses should conform to the American National Standards Institute's guideline ANSI Z80.3, which specifies UV protection and impact protection. Angela Schneider, optician at Mayo Clinic Health System advises to choose sunglasses that block 99%–100% of both UVA (long-length) and UVB

These lenses block 100% of the sun's UV rays. 2. Make sure the sunglasses are durable. Schneider says active children need sunglasses made of impact-resistant polycarbonate with scratch-proof lenses. She says frames should be bendable but unbreakable so make sure the fit is snug. 3. Consider activities. Some sunglasses come with amber or green lens-

es and can increase contrast, which may be useful for sports. 4. Let kids choose. Kids are more likely to wear sunglasses if they've been allowed to pick them out. Let them choose among a few pairs of sunglasses. 5. Be the keeper of the sunglasses. To prevent the sunglasses from being lost, broken, or forgotten, parents may want to consider keeping their

children's sunglasses in a safe place when they are not being worn. 6. Listen to your children or observe them. If your children resist wearing glasses or sunglasses, observing their behavior, or talking to them further might give you a clue to the barriers, such as poor fit or discomfort while wearing them. 7. Set a good example. Your eye health is important. Set a good example for your children by wearing your sunglasses consistently and make wearing them part of your children's routine. As an added protection, have your children wear widebrimmed hats and sunscreen to further reduce their UV exposure. Sunglasses block UV rays that come through the lenses. UV rays also can reflect off surrounding surfaces and damage skin around the eyes, ears, forehead, and cheeks. An appropriate hat and sunscreen can block the sun from above and from the sides.

Seeing a double chin in the mirror may be a sign of weight gain or obesity, but that is not always the case. There are many exercises that target the fat under the chin and neck. There are also other treatments that can be used to support these activities.

Causes

A double chin is caused by an extra layer of fat that develops beneath the chin. A few different factors combine in the body to create a double chin. Understanding these factors may help with understanding ways to get rid of the double chin itself. • Age. The skin can start to lose its elasticity as the body ages, which can lead to the appearance of extra or saggy skin that may contribute to a double chin. • Diet and weight. While weight gain is not always the cause of a double chin, it can contribute to it. A diet high in calories, processed foods, and unhealthful fats may influence weight gain and a double chin as well. • Genetics. Genes may play a role in people developing a double chin. Anyone

How to get rid of a double chin?

with a family history of skin with little elasticity or double chins might be more likely to develop one themselves. • Posture. Poor posture can weaken the muscles of the neck and chin. This may contribute to a double chin over time, as the surrounding skin loses its elasticity when the muscles are not used.

There are many simple exercises for a double chin.

While there is little scientific research on the effect of these exercises, they target the muscles of the neck and face. Working these muscles could help burn fat in these areas and may be a crucial part of getting rid of a double chin. Around the world (warm up) As with any exercise routine, it is important to warm up the muscles to avoid injury. To warm up the neck, gently rotate the head forward and down and then back and up using a clockwise, circular motion. After a few rotations, reverse the direction. The same circular motion is used to stretch the jaw. Gently extend the jaw left, then

forward, then right, and then back, holding each position for a second or two. Now the muscles are warmed and ready for exercise.

and chin should feel flexed but comfortable. Hold this position for 5 to 20 seconds and then relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times per set.

Whistle at the ceiling This exercise is great for strengthening the muscles and giving the neck a break during time spent at the desk. Sit with a straight back and relaxed shoulders. Tilt the head back to look at the ceiling. From this position, close the lips into the position used while whistling. The lips should be relaxed but held tight enough to feel a contraction on both sides of the neck. Hold this position for 10 to 20 seconds depending on the comfort level of the individual. Ten repetitions of this exercise are usually enough for one sitting.

The ball squeeze Keeping an exercise tool on hand is an excellent way to help some people remember to do their exercises. For neck exercises, it may help to keep a ball somewhere near the desk, bed, or in a place where a person will do the exercises. The size of the ball can range from 5 to 10 inches based on personal comfort and should be easy to squeeze. The ball squeeze is done best from a seated position with a straight back and relaxed shoulders. Place the ball under the chin. Use the chin to push down against the ball in a steady, firm motion. This can be repeated 10 to 30 times during each sitting.

Kiss the sky This exercise is similar to the previous one, with a few differences. Stand straight and tall with the arms and shoulders loose and relaxed. Tilt the head back to look at the ceiling. Pucker the lips and try to kiss the sky, extending them as far away from the face as possible. When done correctly, the muscles throughout the neck

The pouting stretch Another effective way to target the muscles in the chin and neck is to do a pouting stretch. Standing or seated, stick the bottom lip out as far as possible to form a pouting face. Hold the position for 3 seconds. With the lip still in full pout, use the muscles of the neck to tilt the chin towards the chest without moving the upper back. Hold this position for 3 seconds. Relax the muscles and

start again. Repeat 10 to 20 times or until the neck feels the workout. Gum chewing Chewing gum may not seem like much, but it may be useful for people looking to get rid of a double chin in multiple ways. A study posted to the journal Appetite found that individuals who chew gum after a meal may feel more satisfied with what they have eaten. This makes them less likely to reach for additional snacks. Chewing gum can help people who are losing weight to reduce the number of calories in their diet. Chewing gum is a minor workout for the muscles of the face, especially the jaw. Regular gum chewing may contribute to an overall loss of fat in the chin though it probably will not do much by itself. The lion’s yawn The point of this exercise is to open the mouth wide while sticking the tongue out as far as possible, much like a yawning lion. It can be a great exercise to strengthen many muscles in the chin, neck, and face. Sit or stand with a relaxed posture. Open the mouth as wide as possible while extending the tongue out as far as it will go. When done correctly, the muscles of the neck, chin, and jaw should tighten. Push the tongue out for 10

Why do my breasts hurt? Understanding Causes of Breast Pain

Most women suffer some form of breast pain at some point in their lives. It may be mild or severe, constant or intermittent. It may be in the form of soreness, sharp burning pangs, or tightness. “Breast pain, or mastalgia, is usually straightforward to diagnose and treat,” says plastic surgeon and breast specialist Dr. Constance M. Chen. “While it is seldom a sign of something serious, pain that doesn't go away after one or two menstrual cycles or that persists in women after menopause should be evaluated by a doctor.” Most breast pain is cyclical – linked to hormonal fluctuation associated with the reproductive cycle. Women describe cyclical breast pain as the breasts feeling heavy, tender, swollen, and achy. It is caused by increases in estrogen and progesterone that

Use these tips to remain active and independent for as long as possible. 1. Eat and drink healthy. Make healthy choices—like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and water. 2. Move more, sit less throughout the day. Being active can help you prevent, delay, and manage chronic diseases; improve balance and stamina; reduce risk of falls; and improve brain health. TIP—Aim for moderate physical activity, like walking, at least 150 minutes a week (22-30 minutes a day) and muscle strengthening activity, like carrying groceries, at least 2 days a week. 3. Don’t use tobacco. If you use tobacco, take the first

occur before the menstrual period and cause the breasts to swell. Cyclical breast pain generally affects both breasts, intensifies in the week or two leading up to the menstrual period, then recedes. It most often affects women during their childbearing years and as they are approaching menopause. Breast tenderness can be eased with overthe-counter pain relievers and by reducing salt, fats, and caffeine in the diet. Birth control pills – or switching to a different formulation – can also help. Dr. Chen notes: “The breasts may remain tender during the first trimester of pregnancy in response to increased hormone levels and that continuing breast soreness often accompanies a missed menstrual period as an early sign of pregnancy.” Fibrocystic breast disease,

occur at any time. It is characterized by inflammation of the breast tissue that causes swelling, redness, pain, and warmth and sometimes fever and chills. During lactation, mastitis is usually caused by a blocked milk duct or by bacteria entering the breast through an opening in the skin or a cracked nipple. It is generally treated with antibiotics. Injury to the breast can be from a previous surgery, from an accident, or from sports. There may be a sharp pain at the time of the trauma followed by tenderness for days or weeks. A doctor should be seen if pain doesn't subside or if there is redness and warmth, which could indicate the presence of infection, if there is severe swelling, or if there is a bruise that doesn't go away. Support issues are most

often experienced by women with large, heavy breasts but poor support can cause the ligaments to stretch and cause pain in breasts of any size, particularly after exercise. Pain may also affect the neck, back, and shoulders. A properly fitted, supportive bra should be worn at all times and a sports bra when exercising. Medications can cause breast pain as a side effect. Hormonal therapies used in infertility treatment, birth control pills, and hormonal replacement after menopause can cause breast tenderness. Some psychiatric medications and those used for coronary disease can also have this effect. “Many women worry that breast pain might be a sign of breast cancer,” says Dr. Chen. ”While this is unusual, it's not impossible. Inflam-

matory breast cancer, which accounts for 1%-5% of breast cancers does cause pain as well as redness, swelling, and thickened or dimpled skin. The important thing for women to know is that while most breast pain isn't dangerous, any condition that doesn't resolve over the course of the menstrual cycle or a week or two should be evaluated by a doctor. In the vast majority of cases, treatment will be rapid and effective.” Constance M. Chen, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with special expertise in the use of innovative natural techniques to optimize medical and cosmetic outcomes for women undergoing breast reconstruction. She is Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Weill Cornell Medical College and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Tulane University School of Medicine. www.constancechenmd.com

SIX TIPS FOR HEALTHY AGING

The lumps are fluid-filled cysts and can be clearly differentiated from more dangerous lumps composed of a solid mass of cells that may signify a benign or malignant tumor. Cysts may resolve on their own but any lump in the breast must be evaluated by a doctor via mammogram, ultrasound, or aspiration – drawing fluid from the cyst. Non-cyclical breast pain -- unrelated to reproductive hormones – most often occurs in one breast and in a localized area though the pain may spread throughout the breast. There are several causes: Mastitis is most common in breast-feeding women (lactation mastitis) but can

Cu m m i ngs will continue to train with Coach Ray Jones in Hawaii in a “bubble” with his C.J. teammates, Cummings including two heavy sessions, before heading to Tokyo on July 22. “The delay and the delay and the delay with C.J., it’s like enough already,” Jones said. “It’s finally going to happen for him. I’m happy for that.” The 21-year-old weightlifter is scheduled to compete in the men’s 73-kilogram weight class beginning at 7:50 p.m. on Wednesday, July 28. That means to watch him compete in Beaufort, you’ll have to get up early because of the 13-

JUST HOW THEY PLANNED IT

Whale Branch star Chaplin commits to Hokies

Chaplin committed last week to continue his career at Virginia Tech next year on a full athletic scholarship. The offers were relatively slow to come for Chaplin, but

he had interest from numerous NCAA Division I “Power 5” schools, including the University of Georgia, Whale Branch coach Jerry Hatcher said. The Hokies were the first big-time program to make an offer, though, and they made landing Chaplin their top priority to solidify their offensive line. The 370-pound rising senior ran a 5.2-second 40-yard

dash when he worked out at Virginia Tech, and the Hokies wanted to make sure he didn’t get away. Chaplin was a first-team All-Lowco pick on the defensive line in 2020, but he was one of the Warriors’ anchors in the trenches on both sides of the ball, helping pave the way for a powerful ground game and shutting down opposing teams’ rushing game.

Eight ways to help our Veterans and their families in the Lowcountry

s a volunteer Patient Adviser at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center (RHJVAMC), the Fisher House Charleston Ambassador of Good Will, the VP for Veteran Affairs for the Coastal SC Association of the US Army Chapter, and a disabled veteran, I am frequently asked, “How can I help Veterans and their families in the LowCountry of SC?” I recommend the following: 1. Volunteer at or Donate (Tax Free) to the RHJVAMC, one of its Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC), or Fisher House Charleston. Contact the RHJVAMC Voluntary Services, located at 109 Bee St., Charleston SC 29401. Voluntary Servies phone is 843-789-7230 and the email is VHACHAVAVS@va.gov. Read all about volunteering at and donating $$$$$ and things to the RHJVAMC at https://www.charleston. va.gov/giving/index.asp. The RHJVAMC owns and operates seven CBOCs, inlcuding the Clinics in Beaufort, Goose Creek, Trident 2/ Ladson, North Charleston, and Myrtle Beach SC and the Savannah and Hinesville GA Clinics. 2. Volunteer to bring food and cook for guests at FISHER HOUSE CHARLESTON. Begin with the Fisher House Charleston web site at https://www.charleston. va.gov/services/Fisher_House.asp.

Help a Veteran and their family find out what the Veteran’s VA benefits are and who can help them to file a claim with the VA and the State of SC.

EDITOR’S NOTE

These columns are not meant to replace carefully reading the Federal Veterans’ benefits information at www.va.gov and other locations or the State of SC Veterans benefit information at https://scdva.sc.gov . Anyone seeking advice on veterans’ benefits are advised to seek the advice and assistance of a Veterans Assistance Officer or another certified Veterans Advisor.

Veterans and their families can receive free help with preparing claims from a VA accredited representative or an employee at a local VA Office. Many accredited representatives work for Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), and may provide help free of charge. There is a State of SC Veterans Service Office in every SC county. See a list of SC County Veterans Service Offices at https://scdva.sc.gov/county-veterans-affairs-offices. The Beaufort County Vets Service Office is located at 100 Clear Water Way, Beaufort, SC 29906, phone number (843) 255-6880. Call ahead to make an appointment. 7. Become a volunteer or assisting organization with the Tri-County (Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley Counties) Veterans Support Network (TCVSN). Go to TCVSN.org and Facebook page Facebook. com/TCVSN . The TCVSN is a non-profit, 501. (c) (3) Corporation and serves as a

clearing house and focuses on proactively identifying and seeking out veterans and their families who are in a crisis. The network assesses the veterans and their family’s needs and ensures they are quickly connected to the relevant services from over 100 Veteran Service Agencies in the LowCountry. Call Tim Taylor at 843-4103616 or email him at tim@ tcvsn.org. You can download TCVSN local resource and national resource directories at the web site. You can donate to TCVSN at tcvsn.org/ donate. Charity Navigator rates this charity at four stars and 94 out of 100. 8. Lead the effort to establish a Quad-County Veterans Support Network for Beaufort, Colleton, Jasper, and Hampton SC Counties. Call Tim Taylor the Director of the Charleston, Dorchester, and Berkeley County (Tri-County) Veterans Support Network (TCVSN) 843-410-3616 or email Tim Taylor at tim@tcvsn.org to get a run-down on how he

and many others started and operate the highly successful TCVSN. One last word of caution. There are thousands of scams trying to defraud people into donating, in the name of our military members, veterans, and their families. Before donating to anyone, other than the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center, where 100% of donations are used to support veterans, go to one or more of the Charity Rating Organizations like Charity Navigator at https://www.charitynavigator.org, Charity Watch https://www.charitywatch. org, and Consumer Reports www.consumerreports. org/charities/best-charities-for-your-donations/ and make certain the charity you are considering is reputable and has a high rating.

The Lord’s Supper The Eucharist in the New Testament

The apostles worshipped by celebrating the Lord’s Supper. In the Acts of the Apostles, this worship is referred to as “the breaking of the bread.” Instead of worshipping on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, the early Christians broke bread on the first day of the week, Sunday. (Acts 20:7) Sunday is the day that Jesus rose from the dead, and the Christians understood their worship as a sacred participation in the Lord’s death and resurrection. Paul gives us greater insight into this early worship. In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul teaches at length about the Lord’s Supper. He reminds them, “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?” (1 Cor 10:16) Paul is emphasizing that when the bread and wine have been blessed in the Lord’s Supper, they are no longer ordinary food and drink, but a sharing in the body and blood of Jesus himself.

The Lord’s Supper is the source of Christian unity. Paul continues, “Since there is one bread, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” (1 Cor 10:17) He is saying here that their unity as a community comes from the Lord’s Supper; the Lord’s Supper is not a sign of their unity, but its source. Since the blessed bread is truly Jesus himself, when the Corinthians receive this gift, they are each united supernaturally with Jesus. By being each united with Jesus in this way, the Corinthians are also united supernaturally with one another as members of his body. Jesus gave us this gift at the Last Supper. Paul reminds the Corinthians that these teachings are not his own. These mysteries come from Jesus himself, who on the night before he died, said of the bread, “This is my body,” and of the cup, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.” (1 Cor 11:23-25). One must be properly prepared to receive Communion. Because he understands Communion in this supernatural manner, Paul warns that one must be spiritually prepared to receive this gift: “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.” (1 Cor 11:28-29) Paul recognizes the body and blood of Jesus in Communion. If the early Christians regarded the bread and wine as only symbols of Jesus or reminders of what he did for us, receiving them in an unworthy manner would not be a sin against his body and blood. Paul’s warning only makes sense if he understands Holy Communion not as ordinary food, but as Jesus truly giving his body and blood in a miraculous way: a belief held by Christians in every generation since apostolic times.

Knowing as important as forgetting

t is Monday and I’m on the Statehouse grounds in Columbia. It is dark, late, and my wife and I are walking the manicured grounds looking at Ben Tillman, Wade Hampton and Strom Thurmond — each illuminated man set off against the modest, beautifully proportioned capital dome which is also illuminated. Tillman, known as Pitchfork Ben, stands defiant as does Strom Thurmond. And, if one looks carefully at Senator Thurmond’s pedestal, one can see that “four children” has been changed to “five” so as to include his African-American daughter, Bessie Mae Thurmond. Wade Hampton, Robert E. Lee’s legendary calvary officer, forever rides his horse and will forever have a great view of the capital’s newest monument — the monument detailing South Carolina’s African American Experience. The African-American en-

hen Andrew Smith said, “People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can’t conquer,” he was laying out the blueprint for the modern conservative movement, especially the Trumpist Republican Party. There is plenty of information available that could provide understanding and clarity, but then where would they get fuel for the lies they tell? I was in church a few years ago when the assistant worship leader stepped to the microphone and began rallying the audience to the appeal of living in God’s grace versus the punitive aspects of traditional, “rulesbased” Christianity. He was making a good case when, suddenly, he got political. “American media is the greatest terrorist organization on this planet. Their singular purpose is to instill fear into the American public.”

eing raised in the parts of Mississippi that rarely grace pages of southern novels and are seen only in the dimmest light on a movie screen, I developed an absolute comfort in amateurish portrayals. After all, it is far easier to claim erosion than to explain the intricate displacement of layers. Our notoriety as southern women is equal parts earned mixed with an artistic covering of century-worn edges. We are all hardened in our own right, just salted differently depending on proximity to the river or the marsh. It is highly doubtful that history will lend chapters to the post-pandemic deepening of a southern woman's roots; if so, it will be sug-

that right at the moment there is a case in front of our Supreme Court that questions the constitutionality of the South Carolina Heritage Act. The Heritage Act, signed into law on May 18, 2000, states that no monuments or memorials erected on public property will be relocated, removed, disturbed or altered. Any proposed change to such memorials or monuments shall require a two-thirds vote of both the South Carolina Senate and the House. The current lawsuit alleges that the Heritage Act violates two separate constitutional prohibitions. The first is the placing limits on the General Assembly’s ability to amend or repeal an earlier law. The second constitutional prohibition is disregarding home rule and local governments (who may want to take a particular statue down). It is true that John C. Calhoun was taken down by The City of Charleston in

try is actually a curving metal tableau beginning with the first boatload of slaves to arrive in Charleston, then there is Emancipation, then Jim Crow and, then Evacuation to the North. Finally we get a sculpture of Beaufort’s own Joe Frazier. In the center of this curving metal timeline there is a polished granite map showing that most of the slaves came from Senegal, Ghana and Congo. There is also a ship — the stylized metal skeleton of a ship — showing how the Africans were packaged into the hold. There is no commentary on this prone passenger placement. None is really needed. It is interesting (to me)

June of 2020. However, Calhoun’s statue was privately owned and he was perched on private land leased to the City of Charleston. Calhoun was lifted off his column on the parade ground in front of The Old Citadel. All of these successfully removed relics go into hiding at a local museum; or at the end of some dusty hallway at South Carolina’s Confederate Relic Room. But going into obscurity probably extends the life of these statues in that they get located in a secure, climate controlled building. But there is no question that their disappearance helps people forget. Some might argue that forgetting Ben Ryan Tillman is a good thing. But I believe that knowing Pitchfork Ben — and knowing what he did to South Carolina’s Black population — is as important as knowing Robert Smalls and what he did for South Carolina’s African-American population.

In the 1880s, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, a self-described farmer from Edgefield County, emerged as a political force who traded in anger and resentment. At first that resentment was aimed at the Charleston aristocracy that then ruled South Carolina. Soon, however, that resentment was redirected to South Carolina’s Black population. Tillman’s mounting popularity was concentrated on a state-wide convention that would rewrite South Carolina’s Constitution. And in 1895 he got his convention. That convention removed Charleston’s influence; stripped-away voting rights from almost every African American man; mandated separate schools for Black and white children and segregated everything from trolley cars to Charleston’s Battery. Tillman, with a little help from his brother, removed or reversed every single advantage that came out of Reconstruction.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Truth? TERRY MANNING

“Duuude,” I groaned to myself. I let the comments pass, because I knew he didn’t know me well enough to know I was a journalist. But I took note, though, on several occasions after that the pastor urged members of his congregation to "turn off the TV, turn off the news" and find the truth in the Bible and in their own personal experiences. I couldn’t argue with that sentiment, but I did wonder, how were these people so sure the media had bad intentions if they never read or watched? What were they basing their opinions on? How could they make such

confident assertions about something they knew nothing about? It might have helped me then to know how commonplace that would become in later years. See, I don’t dislike conservatives because they are conservative. I get that their natural instincts are to preserve the status quo. The status quo works for them, so why change? But the ways they try to preserve, the things they do and, more dangerously, the things they say, are too often based on ignorance. Sometimes, prideful ignorance. And that drives me nuts. Right now, the western United States are on fire as they sit under another “heat dome,” an atmospheric pocket of extreme high temperatures. Pacific coast cities like Portland (112 degrees) and Seattle (104) are cooking under temperatures they have never seen. The New York Times reported more than 200 heat-related deaths

in Oregon and Washington State in the month of June. While “heat domes” are natural occurrences, the rising temperatures are being exacerbated by global warming. Temperature increases that were predicted to happen later this century are happening now. But, according to Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, climate change Is “bull___t.” Government attempts to curb its progress by transitioning from fossil fuels and adopting new technology and new regulations are “self-inflicted wounds,” he told a group of fellow Republicans. Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, in an effort to undermine the premise behind critical race theory, told Fox News, “We know most of our forefathers, all of our main Founding Fathers were against slavery, recognized the evils of it.” She is partially correct.

They recognized its evils, and some even wrote against it. But they also enslaved people. It’s one thing to decry the inhumanity of holding another human being in bondage, but that cotton wasn’t going to pick itself. I mean, somebody had to plant and harvest and cook and clean and build and maintain and get beaten within an inch of their lives for trying to escape or learn to read, right? At the recent CPAC conference, some of the loudest cheers were for speakers who bragged about not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I have heard excuses ranging from fears about the vaccines rewriting DNA (they don’t), not knowing what's in them (we do know) to their containing tissue from aborted fetuses (they don’t). I actually found one article that addressed all three of those concerns, and the person I shared the article with wouldn’t budge.

is everything. The great discontent of 2020 magnified the reactionary habits of southern women. Containment of natural resources always comes at a cost. Even canning vegetables is a high-risk activity. Anything less than adequate pressure-processing is a monstrous gamble. The pandemic tossed us into a boiling water bath if by no other injurious attempt than to simply hold us captive. It was a rude interruption of life and civility. If we admit to any ineptness, it is that we cannot handle impolite disruption. It's well known an attempt to force a southern woman's hand is to recall the tide or reverse the river; the outcome is similar at best.

Our submissive traits have long been gone with the wind. Momentarily we may oblige but only until we get bored. If historians found favor in brutal honesty, facts would show southern women have undoubtedly been the catalyst of war. Amid the recent battle, signature coping mechanisms rose to the occasion, allowing some to delve deeply into religious comforts while others delved into spirits slightly less celestial. We are not above admitting our sins are as personal as our penance and our approach reflective of both. What the Bible can't calm, bourbon softens. We blessed hearts over toilet paper, cleaned the paint right off our baseboards,

The latest reasons for not getting the vaccine are downright conspiratorial: The government wants to control us. Vaccines will make recipients more vulnerable to the next round of outbreaks. Planned door-todoor outreach to promote the vaccine will instead be used to … confiscate guns and Bibles? Why settle for simply being wrong when you can throw anti-government paranoia into the mix? In newspapers, we used to talk about feeding readers spinach or cake. Cake was the good news they liked; spinach was the boring news they needed.

Our insanity was the very glue that held our society together. Without the insanity of southern women, there would be no southern men. We maintain credit for their fondness and skill of solitary sports. It is not by chance that men rediscovered the great outdoors.

Even then it would be delayed and fought by Strom Thurmond who stands about 50 yards from Tillman. So, what to we do if the Supreme Court says the two-thirds requirement is unconstitutional? I say we leave Ben in place; but change the words on his plinth to say:

never attended grade school with any African-Americans. You can bet the farm that in Houston in the 1940s and 1950s, such “colored” folks were not called that. Lots of Hispanics (you can be equally sure they weren’t called that or Latinos, either) and a few Asians did attend Houston’s public schools with us “white folks.” But there were NO black students; the only Blacks inside the school were kitchen staff and janitors. The New Testament (John 8:32) tell us that Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Truth is a rare species in today’s vicious and divided public discourse, most especially when it comes to the two Big Uglies: genocide of Amerindians (the original Americans) and slavery, with its equally bad and ugly twin Racism. Today, a rancorous movement among a large segment of white folks who are attempting not just to

DAVID TAUB

sweep these major epics of American History “under the rug,” but to lock them tightly in Davy Jones’ locker, or perhaps Pandora’s box, never to be reopened. I have often asserted that “If you yell the Truth loud enough and long enough, some folks will believe you.” Truth is essential to crafting good decisions, and as it relates to political honesty (isn’t that an oxymoron?), it is essential to engendering social trust, which is fundamental to a society’s well-being. I continue believing that “truthfulness” is critical for resolving divisions that characterize our society today. Critics of what is called “Critical Race Theory” (aka CRT) now are asking state legislators to pass laws

banning the teaching of unpleasant truths about our historical past. Perhaps such legislators have not read the Constitution, in particular, the First Amendment; perhaps they don’t care? Every society has done some naughty things: Spain and its despicable Inquisition and the annihilation of native peoples of the southern New World; Germany’s Nazi government and its indescribable Holocaust; Turkey’s long-denied genocide of Armenians; China’s current wholesale imprisonment of its Uyghur Muslims of Xinjiang. This litany of bad things continues. It is important to note that Germany mandates teaching its bad/ugly/vicious history of the Third Reich in every school. If we are exceptional, and The Good we have done certainly suggests this is so, it is because we have been willing to accept the truth of The Bad; for example, the foolish and destructive wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan; some aspects of The Ugly too. We should

and, perhaps, even a desire to do better in the future. How can any normal rational human being write such nonsensical garbage into a LAW, let alone actually believe it? These mysteries of stupidity always amaze me! The roads we now travel all seem to lead inexorably to censorship, propaganda, puffery, expurgation, and continuing toxic infections of the racism virus that yet poisons us today. Alas, we have not invented an efficacious vaccine against it. The fantastic invention of DNA-based new incredible vaccines notwithstanding, I am pessimistic that we shall conquer this Big Ugly anytime soon. President Madison’s brilliance gave us our splendid Constitution and its first 10 amendments, rightly called the “Bill of Rights.” Regrettably, he left out one very important right — the right of free thinking. America’s educational systems have always been the linchpin of America’s exceptionalism. If our educational systems are now prevented from telling

our true story – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly – we will never come to know the Truth and the Big Uglies will remain entrenched in our culture, and sadly perhaps even come to define it. Let us pray our nation rededicates itself to the majestic promises set forth in the opening stanza of our grand Constitution: “WE THE PEOPLE, of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity …” As the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses commanded (or at least as Yul Brenner opined), “So let it be written, so let it be done.” Amen! “Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers.” – Will Rogers.

Can Port Royal and Beaufort learn chutzpah?

he more things change the more they stay the same. Longtime readers of this column may remember a study that was referenced here in 2015 that concluded that, according to Beaufort County and Beaufort County School District figures, 60plus percent of all the money raised in the seven bond and penny sales tax referenda that were passed by Beaufort County’s voters from 19952015 went to improvements in the Bluffton area. It is no longer any surprise to taxpayers in the northern part of the county that we have been paying year-afteryear for the 1991 Beaufort County Council’s naïveté when they unanimously green-lighted Sun City’s PUD without giving any consideration to the inevitable explosion of costs for the necessary public improvements (schools and roads for starters) outside Sun City’s gates. While we have shelled out millions, Del Webb and its now parent company, PulteGroup, Inc., the developers of Sun City Hilton Head, have pocketed millions more. PulteGroup’s stock (PHM on the NYSE) has nearly doubled again on revenues of $2.7B just in the past 12 months. So, what’s new? Last week a list fell into my hands, one for requested earmarks that has been sent by Beaufort County to Washington for U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s consideration. The list tells a tale that is all too familiar to those who have been watching events for the past decade or so. It suggests that the

BILL RAUCH

northern part of the county and The City of Beaufort in particular are about to come up short again. And it is not because the city’s population is too small to matter. Beaufort does matter. It is because Beaufort won’t swing for the fences, and the Beaufort County municipalities south of the Broad River will and do. There are 37 items on the county’s current wish list that total $465,727,192. Of these Beaufort is asking for $14 million, or about three percent of the total. There’s nothing wrong with what’s being requested, $5 million for the Cyber Security Training Center, $6 million for a stormwater study, and $3 million for a study of how to address sea level rise in the city, except that it is not enough. Meanwhile — excepting items for The Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority, The Beaufort Memorial Hospital, The Technical College of the Lowcountry, and The University of South Carolina at Beaufort that the Senator’s office will not consider to be asks from the respective municipalities, but that will instead be considered asks from the institutions themselves — Bluffton has $65 million on its list and Hilton Head Island has $186.2 million on its list. There’s a simple political principle at work here. It goes

something like this: political considerations all being equal, the more you ask for the more you get. Let’s say each municipality gets 10 percent of its ask. Beaufort would get $1.4 million, Bluffton would get $6.5 million and Hilton Head Island would get $18.6 million. Those numbers imply that there are four times the number of residents in Bluffton than there are in Beaufort, or even more incredibly that the population of Hilton Head Island exceeds 200,000. But it is not that. It is that (calling on my old New York vocabulary) the municipalities South of the Broad have the chutzpah to ask. By the way, according to the list, The Town of Port Royal is asking for $10 mil-

In his wisdom maybe Senator Graham and his competent and experienced staff will end up funding the items, irrespective of their sponsors, for which there is the most need, and the earmarks he puts into place will be determined fairly with a cool and apolitical eye to what’s best for the county, state and nation. Or maybe they won’t. That ship — which is being fitted out now — will sail in September. But here’s why this is important going forward. The President has negotiated

in principle and indicated he will sign, and the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a version of a $1.2 trillion “Infrastructure Bill,” the details of which are currently being negotiated on a bi-partisan basis in the U.S. Senate. Whether or not you agree that such a measure is a wise thing for the country’s and for your grandchildren’s financial future, if it passes it is a sure thing that we will all pay our share of the bill’s price tag now and for many years to come. Moreover, if a Federal trillion dollar Infrastructure Bill does get signed into law, as at this writing it seems likely one will be, there is also no doubt there will be a lot of new money (our money) for capital

projects sloshing around in Washington and in Columbia, the most those capitol cities will very likely see for a generation. Get ready, because then it will be up to Beaufort’s and Port Royal’s leadership to think a lot bigger than they have been, to get organized and prepared to make their cases, or else to risk having their people get left behind once again to give more than they got. Today is not too soon for them to begin to face the challenge. Bill Rauch was the Mayor of Beaufort from 1999 to 2008 and has twice won awards from the S.C.

welcome this dialogue in our public places as evidence of the evolution of our national ethos of liberty and freedom. Therein lies the strength of our republic. Our commonly shared vision of America as a nation of free, vital, honest and open debate is tarnished when some state governments now resort to mandating, by law, closing our open minds. Knowing the Truth of our history may not make us “free,” but it most certainly will make us stronger. These dimwitted legislators who are passing laws to ban teaching “The Ugly” of racism and its root causes, says this is necessary because they don’t want any student to “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or psychological distress” because of their race or gender. What kind of gibberish foolishness is this? NO history of ANY country that teaches its history, no matter how sanitized, would NOT prevent someone from feeling these emotions. Such sentiments are evidence of serious thinking
