Water Festival’s opening weekend a success

By Bob Sofaly After being canceled last year due to COVID concerns, the 65th annual Beaufort Water Festival finally kicked off Friday with as much fanfare as the Parris Island Marine Corps Band could muster.

And the crowds? The attendance during the “first weekend” has been above and beyond comparison even though organizers had only 109 days instead of the traditional 10 months to get ready.

“Opening ceremony Monday was kind of surreal while sitting on the stage and seeing the huge crowd out there,” Water Festival Commodore Erin “Tank” Morris said. “I

think the public was ready to come back. We are happy that we are the ones to kick it back off and bring everybody back together”.

On Saturday the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park came to life again with the much anticipated Bocce Ball single elimination tournament, a badminton tournament and the grueling boat races in the Beaufort River.

The evening capped off with the Concert in the Park, featuring opening act Scott Stevens, then Lainey Wilson and finally the headline performer, country singer Rodney Atkins.

“That was three of the best shows

I’ve ever scene here,” Morris said.

“They were so engaged, it was absolutely electric. And the crowd? Oh my gosh they were into it! My wife and I stood right here (by the stage) and More Photos could see the crowd.

See additional Water Festival That’s why we do coverage on this.”

Pages A7–8.

As large as the crowd for the Opening Ceremony was, Morris said Sunday’s Children’s Day was beyond that.

“This crowd is phenomenal. I’ve never seen anything like this. People are just ready to get out and get back to life”, he said. “It was shoul-

der-to -shoulder for as far as the eye could see from one to the other along the sea wall at the waterfront park.”

Morris said he didn’t have any exact numbers to share, but he said Saturday’s concert was “probably the biggest concert in the (Waterfront Park) we’ve had in many, many years.

Morris added the line to get into the park extend back to the Downtown Marina and wrapped back around.

He added the weather is playing a big part in this year’s early suc-

ABOUT C.J.’S COMPETITION • China’s Zhiyong Shi is the World Record Holder in the Snatch (169kg), the Clean & Jerk (198kg) and Overall Total (363kg).

• Shi is the defending Olympic Gold Medalist, winning with a total of 352kg in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.

• Shi may be the defending Olympic Gold Medalist and the World Record holder, but Tunisia’s Karem Ben Hnia comes in with the top qualifying weight, 351kg to Shi’s 350kg.

• There are 4 lifters who enter the Olympics with a qualifying weight equal or better than C.J. Cummings’ 347kg: Ben Hnia, Shi, Venezuala’s Julio Ruben Mayora Pernia (350kg) and Bulgaria’s Bozhidar Dimitrov Andreev (347kg).

THE FRAZIER FACTOR Beaufort’s only Olympic Gold Medalist is boxing great Joe Frazier, who won his gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1964 Summer Olympics, ironically, also in Tokyo.

“I really don’t think about it, but I know he was one of the top boxers,” Cummings said. “He’s the man around here. Hopefully I can make an imprint on this community like he has. That would be a major goal for me.”

The wait is finally over

Olympic dream coming true for Beaufort’s CJ Cummings

By Mike McCombs Monday, March 30, 2020 was a day that would have been more than discouraging for most 19 year olds.

C.J. Cummings was not most 19 year olds.

“He’s not the norm,” Team Beaufort coach Ray Jones said at the time. “He never has been.”

Cummings learned early that morning that the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo had been delayed a year as a

result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cummings was visibly disappointed.

Jones? Not so much.

“THIS JUST IN, CJ NOW HAS A YEAR AND FOUR

MONTHS TO MAKE HIMSELF THAT MUCH BETTER!” That was the text message Jones sent to The Island News at 9:09 that morning.

Port Royal still cleaning up after Elsa, tying up loose ends on Port property

W

PORT ROYAL ell, the i’s have been dotted, the t’s crossed and representatives of Grey Ghost Properties LLC are believed to have updated agreements with the town of Port Royal which will make it easier to sell the 315-acres of waterfront property, which have been rumored for development for decades.

The town council last week, as residents cleaned up after a tornado spawned

by Tropical Storm Elsa, endorsed a new development agreement and changes to the Planned Unit Development plan for the property overlooking Battery Creek and one of the deepest natural harbors on the East Coast.

In 2017, Grey Ghost developers including Chris Butler and Whit Suber, purchased the former S.C. Ports Authority property for $9 million. In the past year, the town has been increasing pressure on the developers to begin work on their approved development plans with a date of December 2021 established for work to begin or the agreements could be invalidated.

The new development agreement approved by the town council gives the owners, for starters, until December 2022 to improve the aesthetics of the existing

dry-stack storage facility.

Efforts to promote the sale intensified in the past several months with Safe Harbor Marina, owners of the former Port Royal Landings Marina and lease-holders of Beaufort’s Downtown Ma-

The revised agreements also allow increased residential density from 425 to 575 single-family homes, apartments, town-houses and condos.

The limit on 225,000 square feet of commercial development was removed and there was clarification of a land swap on either side of the Sands boat ramp road.

Plans for updating of the existing shrimp docks, which are owned by Grey Ghost but operated until this spring by the town, are also part of the deal, especially after the town

found out the state legislature included $900,000 in earmarks for the dock rehab.

While the development agreement changes were approved unanimously by the Town Council, the changes

to the Planned United Development (PUD) were not supported by Council members Jerry Ashmore and Darryl Owners. Their votes in opposition came after the S.C. Coastal Conservation League urged the town to require any new developers to honor the current, more restrictive current tree protection ordinances.

As almost everyone in the council room during the final vote – elected town officials to paid attorneys – agreed “we’ve waited a long time for this to happen.”

Now, let’s see if it does.

Who knows Rosenberg’s Rules of Order?

BEAUFORT – As of press time last week, issues of downtown Beaufort development seemed relatively quiet while the future of 303 Associates’ Dick Stewart’s garage and new hotel project seem to be on hold as challenges make their way through the court system.

But then, … there was last Wednesday’s Historic Review Board’s meeting.

It was the first since the five member board got four new members appointed

by City Council. And if you’re drawn to government proceedings (admittedly, many probably are NOT), you might want to check out the July 14 meeting of the HRB, which is still available for viewing on the city’s

Facebook page.

In addition to learning more about the personalities who are now making decisions on the future of the city’s historic district, you will learn about Rosenberg’s Rules Of Order.

To quote a Google search of this little-known document, “it’s a simplified set of parliamentary rules widely used in California. In many respects it parallels Roberts Rules of Order.”

For those of you who may not know about Roberts Rules (and don’t really care) they were developed in 1876 by Brig. General Henry Roberts, born in Jasper County, who was presiding over a church meeting and recognized the need for an established procedure.

Back to the HBF meeting last week. New member Mike Sutton, a building contractor who works with a number of historic home owners, moved the meeting “down the road” by making the motion to accept the staff’s recommendation to use Rosenburg’s rules instead of Roberts rules. This was right after he nominated new board member Jeremiah Smith of Alison-Ramsey Architects to be the new chairman.

The chairmanship vote was unanimous. From there it went downhill.

The meeting could be viewed as an incredible

example of parliamentary tap-dancing except protection of the city’s historic district is at stake.

Hooray for pickleball BEAUFORT – Good news for the pickleball players of Beaufort County; the County Council heard your cries and responded.

Six new courts will be located in the Shell Point county park (behind Praise Assembly) and the Bluffton Recreation Center and Southside Park where an existing tennis court will be converted to a pickleball court.

What about those crossing signs?

BEAUFORT – Anyone else notice how many of the pedestrian crosswalk signs aren’t doing the job. Signs along Bay and Carteret streets are knocked down or maybe were targeted by absent-minded motorists.

With Water Festival going on and all the tourists in town, not a good time for casual crossing.

Kids enjoy chance to ‘Chill With A Cop’

By Bob Sofaly A handful of children played with City of Beaufort police officers while being soaked down by Beaufort Fire Department on Friday at Southside Park.

The “Chill With A Cop” event, according the Deputy Chief of Police Darrell Gruel, is to help children and their parents see the police as and ally they can trust.

“We are trying to connect with the community and give them the opportunity to react with officers in a positive way,” he said.

Gruel said a different event will be held each Friday in different geographic locations between now until school starts to give every

child the opportunity to interact in a positive way.

“We want to have one each Friday and then have something like a Movie In The Park event just before school starts,” he said.

Kids got to play in water sprinklers, play giant Jenga and badminton and get their faces painted by Officer Jenn Patrone, a “real cop” who got lots of help and suggestions from other children.

One unidentified child, about age 5 or 6, said, “this isn’t anything like TV” as he tried to dry the water from his face.

Judging from remarks made by other police officers there, that’s the whole idea.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, in the Shell robbery, which occurred at 1:18 p.m.

Maynor entered the store and demanded money from the clerk at gunpoint but fled before getting any cash. Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted

Beaufort Police in searching the area for the subject but were unable to locate him.

In the meantime, at 2:35 p.m. Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to Family Dollar at 791 Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena, for a report of an armed robbery. There, the subject, later identified as Maynor, had allegedly taken cash from a register while holding a clerk at gunpoint.

It was learned in the investigation that the subject in both robberies was one and

the same and that he was driving a stolen vehicle out of Colleton County.

At 3:35 p.m., a Sheriff’s Office deputy located the vehicle in question parked at America’s Best Inn in Beaufort.

Beaufort Police apprehended Maynor and charged him with Armed Robbery, Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Violent Crime, Possession of a Firearm by a Felon and Possession of a Stolen Vehicle.

Maynor was also charged as a fugitive from justice on an

outstanding warrant for an armed robbery in North Carolina.

A Sheriff’s Office investigator obtained warrants early Wednesday and charged Maynor with Armed Robbery and Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Violent Crime for the Family Dollar robbery.

Maynor is being held at the Beaufort County Detention Center on $185,000 bond.

Beaufort Police also arrested three accomplices in the Shell Food Mart robbery

Tuesday: • E’Nisha Robinson, 26, of St. Helena, was charged with Conspiracy. She is also being held on a pre-existing bench warrant in Family Court.

• Alisha Hunt, 41, of Lumberton, N.C., was charged as a Fugitive from Justice.

The Charles Lind Brown Center, which is in the Northwest Quadrant in the City of Beaufort, is operated by Beaufort County Parks & Rec-

reation Department. It has a pool, an indoor and outdoor basketball court, a small playground, various classrooms and meeting rooms, a kitchen, offices, and restrooms.

The task force has made a presentation to City of Beaufort officials and is partnering with Beaufort County on how best to revitalize the center’s relevance as a community as-

set. As a first step, members have put together a survey seeking input from residents about the kinds of services, activities, and events they would like to see at the center.

The survey will be distributed through Beaufort County and City of Beaufort channels, including social media. Task force members also plan to go door-to-door in neighborhoods

close to the center to get as many responses as possible.

Former Beaufort County coroner Ed Allen is the chairman of the task force. Beaufort City Councilman Mitch Mitchell is helping to facilitate the group and its outreach to local governments.

The survey will close on Aug. 18.

from page A1 “It’s going to make him more mature,” Jones said later that day. “He’s going to be better with that, with another year of training. For them to pump the brakes and put it on hold for a year is a good thing.”

At the time, that was almost impossible to believe. Cummings, was the four-time defending Junior World Champion and the defending Pan American Champion in the 73-kilogram weight class. He was the No. 1 weightlifter in the United States and ranked fifth in the world.

But Jones couldn’t have been more right.

“If it had gone on in 2020 where we had the Olympics and all that stuff, C.J. would have been really really good, but he wouldn’t have been nearly as good as he is now.

C.J. just started to do more,” Jones said last week. “The little things that you would do as a professional – and he is a professional athlete, even though he just turned 21 years old. You can get just so far with that talent, but if you want to do the very best, it’s about sleeping better and eating better and doing all the mobility work. Just coming in a lifting for that hour and half, two hours a day, that’s not what it’s about. … He’s doing all the little things. That makes his opportunity better when it comes time to make lifts.”

Photo by Bob Sofaly. weight class, which includes Cummings, will begin it’s competition at 7:50 p.m. Tokyo time on Wednesday, July 28. That’s 6:50 a.m. here in Beaufort because of the 13hour time difference.

When he takes to the platform next week, Cummings will have his work cut out for him. It won’t matter that he’s the two-time defending PanAm Games champion or that he owns 23 American and three world records.

Four lifters in the 73kg weight class come in with qualifying totals equal or bet-

ter than Cummings’ 347kg.

And then there’s China’s Zhiyong Shi, the prohibitive favorite. He’s the defending Olympic Gold Medalist and holds the World Record in the Snatch, Clean & Jerk and Overall total.

But neither Cummings nor Jones are concerned with how tough the road is. They are both focused simply on Cummings doing his best.

“I am going to treat it like everything else, but obviously its the Olympics and it is going to be different,” Cummings said. “It’s going to be a

lot more attention and probably a lot more distractions and there are other top-level athletes. But I’m going to treat it like it’s any other competition, honestly.”

“I have no worries about Tokyo,” Jones said emphasizing that Cummings is as healthy as he’s ever been, and his National Championship lifts earlier this month, at basically 90 percent of his ability, have him right on schedule to be at his best July 28.

Jones showed Cummings, along with Team Beaufort teammate and Lebanese

three months.”

But Crystal Cummings kept asking. And if she hadn’t, C.J. Cummings would likely never have taken up weightlifting, much less be competing in the 2020 Summer Olympics next week in Tokyo.

“My dad, he wasn’t too fond of it,” Crystal Cummings said.

“He wasn’t too familiar with Olympic style weightlifting.

But I kept asking, and one day, he saw me crying and he said, ‘If that’s what you want to do, go ahead.’”

“Crystal was in one of my original after school programs I did. I went to Lady’s Island Elementary when she was 10 years old. And she signed up there,” Jones said. “I had something really light, like some PVC pipes and 5-pound bars or something like that, and they would work with those. And once that program ended, the ones that would want to, you would invite them to come to the gym. And I had my gym at that time.

And they would come and try to train. And that was their introduction to weightlifting.”

Jones said only three from that first group stuck it out.

One was Crystal Cummings.

Already a good athlete, Crystal Cummings excelled at basketball and softball.

Weightlifting became another sport she excelled at.

“Just like C.J., I was good at it,” Crystal Cummings said.

“Crystal, you could just tell … I’m not joking when I say it, as talented as Omar (Cummings) is, and as talented as C.J. is, I don’t know that Crystal wasn’t the most talented of them all. Because it was just easy for her, too,” Jones said.

“She wasn’t doing all the little things, she would just come in and train – 11, 12, 13, 14 years old. But by the time she was 14, she was ready to make a Junior World team. Just a lot of ability if she had chosen to stick with it.”

Instead, Crystal Cummings stopped lifting weights competitively in 9th grade when she made the varsity girls basketball and softball teams at Beaufort High School.

“Coach Jones didn’t have the time he has now,” Crystal Cummings said. “If

Crystal Cummings was the first member of her family to lift weights for Coach Ray Jones. Brothers C.J. and Omar Cummings would follow in her footsteps a decade later. Photo courtesy of Crystal Cummings. you didn’t make it in the morning, that was it. I chose basketball and softball.

“If I knew back then what I know now, I would have chosen weightlifting,” Crystal Cumming said. “I was so fortunate I met Ray Jones.”

Fast forward Crystal Cummings is 11 years older than Omar Cummings and almost 13 years older than C.J. Cummings.

When she began lifting weights with Coach Jones, neither were born yet. And neither have many concrete memories of her lifting.

By the time C.J. Cummings was 10 and older brother Omar Cummings was 12, they were both star football players for Beaufort County PALS and Jones was the strength and conditioning coach at Beaufort Middle School.

Crystal Cummings was visiting Jones one day when he told her he had a conditioning program that featured Olympic weightlifting. She wanted her brothers to get involved.

Savasha Cummings, the boys’ mother, was OK with the idea. But once again Clarence Cummings said “no.”

This time, Crystal Cummings handled it differently.

The boys loved hanging out with their much older sister.

She had a driver’s license and a car, which provided a measure of freedom for Omar and C.J. Cummings.

One day, Crystal Cummings was in town running an errand with the boys in tow.

On a whim, she stopped by Beaufort Middle School and

introduced them to Jones.

“He showed them the movements with a hard plastic pole, the same way he did me, and they did that and loved it,” Crystal Cummings said. “Once he did that, it was me taking them behind my parents’ back, almost.”

Eventually, Clarence Cummings found out, but the boys were allowed to continue with Coach Jones.

Crystal Cummings said it took a while, but eventually, Clarence Cummings was on board with the boys’ weightlifting.

“To be honest I don’t think initially he understoood how good Omar and, particularly, C.J. could have been or how fast things were moving for them,” Crystal Cummings said. “But Coach Ray saw the potential.”

Omar breaks out In his first competitive meet, C.J. Cummings lost to William Coin of Savannah.

“He cried about it,” Crystal Cummings said. “He didn’t like losing, so he did something about it after that.

And so began C.J. Cummings rise to the top of the American weightlifting mountain.

By the spring of 2015, 14-year-old C.J. Cummings was expected to do well and possibly win his first international medal in the 69-kilogram weight class at the IWF Youth World Championships in Lima, Peru. His 16-year-old brother Omar Cummings made the team in the 77kg weight class and made the trip

to Peru, as well.

The trip to Peru didn’t follow the script.

C.J. Cummings struggled mightily, making just one of six attempted lifts, and failed to place.

The next day, a day he dedicated to his younger brother, Omar Cummings stepped out of his younger brother’s shadow. He set American Youth records for the Clean & Jerk and Overall total, claiming bronze medals for both.

“I feel a lot of love from my coach, my team, my family, my hometown and my country," Omar Cummings told the Beaufort Gazette after the competition. "It's just a lot of love going on right now and excitement.

"I'm just thankful for the support, and most of all, Coach Ray (Jones). Because without him, none of this would be possible."

“Of the Cummings family, he was the first one – before C.J. – to win an international medal,” Jones said of Omar Cummings. “He won a bronze medal at a Youth Worlds. And he wasn’t expected to. If he had maybe cracked the top 10 at the Youth Worlds, it would have been good for him. But that son of a gun ended up getting a bronze medal.”

Just a couple months later in June, Omar Cummings swept golds in the Snatch, Clean & Jerk and Overall in the 77kg weight class in the Age 16-17 bracket at the USA Weightlifting National Youth Championships in Bloomington, Minn. In July, he was named the nation’s top

Olympian Mahassen Hala Fattouh, the scene from Hoosiers where Gene Hackman’s character has the players measure the height of the rim and the distance from the free throw line to the basket in the huge gym where the state championship would be played.

“I’m keeping it in perspective, but I know it’s the Olympics,” Jones said. “There’s still a bar and there’s still a platform. You’ve become one of the best in the world. Now’s your chance to go and prove it.”

That this is actually – finally – the Olympics is slowly settling in for Cummings, and that feeling will likely only intensify with the journey to Hawaii and then Japan.

“I’m taking it day by day,” he said. “It’s getting closer.

It’s starting to hit me.”

If there are nerves, Cumming said his family is likely feeling them more than him.

“Everybody is probably more nervous than me when I’m competing,” he said. “But everyone is pretty good.”

Nervous or not, win or lose, Cummings is showing the ability to take his first Olympic appearance in stride.

“The experience or the opportunity, whether it goes well or not, I’m going to try to make the most of it and the best of it and hopefully, it does go well,” Cumming said.

“If not, hopefully it’s a learning experience and a great opportunity to meet other great athletes.”

weightlifter in the Age 16-17 bracket.

More outwardly emotional than his younger brother, it was hard to gauge just how good Omar Cummings was because he simply didn’t lift enough.

When C.J. Cummings began lifting weights competitively, he immediately gave up football. Omar Cummings, however, was a football star.

As a Beaufort High School junior that same year, Omar Cummings rushed for 404 yards and eight touchdowns in a single game against Berkeley. The following fall, as a senior, he had 1,270 yards rushing for the season and scored 16 touchdowns, numbers good enough to earn a selection to the North-South All-Star Game in Myrtle Beach.

“The thing with Omar, you never really knew how good Omar could be with weightlifting because from the time he started with me, he was always playing football every year,” Jones said. “The brutal way it breaks your body down when you play football, I only had him half a year when he had just recovered from football and I could see what he could do with weightlifting.”

In February 2017, Omar Cummings signed a National Letter of Intent to play football for S.C. State University in Orangeburg. After redshirting in 2017, he was a reserve running back in 2018 and 2019.

“He was No. 3 in the world when he quit lifting,” Crystal Cummings said. “In the world.”

It just keeps getting better C.J. Cummings recovered from that awful performance in the 2015 IWF Youth World Championships in Peru. In fact, that was likely his lowest point as a weightlifter.

Since then, he has won two IWF Youth World Championships, four IWF Junior World Championships, two Pan-Am Championships, and has set 23 American and three World records. He just won his first U.S. National Championship as a senior weightlifter and he’s on his way to his first Olympics.

C.J. Cummings is only 21 and he’s the top American male weightlifter.

And to think, without is sister’s persistence “I guess you could say she was the reason I found this sport,” C.J. Cummings said of his sister Crystal. “If it wasn’t for her, I would never have been introduced to the sport. And if it wasn’t for her support and bringing me to the gym when I first started, I probably would have probably quit.

“It was a long time ago, but she was there, she supported me and she introduced me to this. So all of this was because of her.”

And Crystal Cummings is still supporting her youngest brother. She is his biggest cheerleader on social media and is always the first to share videos or photos of his exploits.

And like “Coach Ray,” she thinks it was ultimately a good thing that the 2020 Summer Olympics were delayed a year.

“C.J. is more mentally there now. It was a good thing,” Crystal Cummings said. “I don’t think he was a focused as he is now. He understands, now. He’s more disciplined about his weight, his work habits and about not putting pressure on himself.”

Crystal Cummings hopes her brother is able to enjoy the experience of competing in the Olympics, not matter how he fares in the competition.

“Just do what you’re supposed to do,” Crystal Cummings said. “Just do what Coach Ray says, and it’ll all fall into place.”

Omar Cummings eventually chose football over weightlifting.

Lady’s Island man arrested, charged with sexual exploitation of a minor

From staff reports Beaufort County Sheriff's Office investigators on Thursday, July 15, arrested 42-year-old Phillip Martin Jr. of Lady’s Island and charged him with two counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor 2nd Degree and two counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor 3rd Degree.

Investigators had received

a lead from the S.C. Attorney General's Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Martin initiative of child sexual abuse imagery being uploaded to the Internet from computers and/ or electronic devices by an

unknown subject in Beaufort County.

According to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, further investigation substantiated the lead and revealed that the child sexual abuse imagery had been uploaded

by Martin of 42 Brindlewood Drive.

Based on this information, Sheriff's Office investigators

obtained a warrant from a Beaufort County magistrate to search the Brindlewood Drive residence to locate and seize the computers and/or electronic devices used to upload the child sexual abuse imagery.

Investigators also obtained warrants from the magistrate for the arrest of Martin. At the time the

search warrant was served, Martin Jr. was at home and taken into custody for the four warrants without incident.

Martin Jr. was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center and booked on the charges. As of Tuesday, he remains incarcerated.

During the search of Martin’s residence, investigators

What is behavioral finance … and why should you care?

Investors may like to think they’re completely rational in their decision-making, but that’s highly unlikely. We don’t stop being human beings when it comes to investing, so psychology and emotions are apt to play roles—sometimes large ones—in the choices we make.

Perhaps more significantly, the price/earnings (P/E) ratio—a measure commonly used to determine how expensive stocks are (the higher the ratio, the more expensive stocks are considered to be)—was 175. By comparison, it was only approximately 24 at the end of 2020.

That suggests many investors were caught up in the furor over the New Economy and ignored the fundamentals. When investors realized it would be a long time before many of these companies became profitable, the bubble burst and stock prices plummeted.

The lesson for investors is the importance of being diver-

sified and investing primarily based on fundamentals—not on emotion and the fear of missing out on the next “big thing.” Of course, diversification strategies do not guarantee investment returns or eliminate the risk of loss.

Evolve Furniture Studio opens in Beaufort

David J. Lunin specializes in 18th-century antique restoration, reproductions, furniture design

From staff reports A designer and builder of 18th Century reproduction furniture, as well as surreal adaptations of traditional furniture, David J. Lunin recently opened Evolve Furniture Studio in Beaufort.

His previous furniture studio, which opened in 2000, was located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

“Whatever I create, it is done with the same level of care and craftsmanship employed by Colonial furniture makers,” Lunin said in a release. “All my pieces are built with traditional joinery like hand-cut dovetails, and mortise and tenon joints. I also prefer the use of traditional finishing material, such as shellac and varnish.”

Lunin will hold an open house from 5 to 8 p.m., Friday,

Aug. 6th at Evolve Furniture Studio. His unique space is located at 1010 Middleton Street off Depot Road near the Spanish Moss Trail. Follow the gravel road between two metal buildings and through the gate. Parking is next to the loading dock.

With a career that has evolved over three decades, Lunin’s expertise also includes restoring antiques — a process which includes precision woodworking, color matching, and a deep knowledge of colonial American design.

Lunin is best known for his eye for detail and a unique talent for woodturning, a craft that uses a wood lathe with hand-held tools to cut a shape that is symmetrical around the axis of rotation. In the 18th century, furniture makers specialized as joiners, carvers, gilders, turners or finishers. Today, high-end furniture makers do it all — and Lunin is setting the standard for the highest quality craftsmanship.

Visitors to the studio will see Lunin’s workspace, a showroom filled with original

Good nutrition starts early

Kids’ early eating experiences can affect how they eat as they get older. That’s why it’s so important to introduce them to healthy foods from the very beginning.

What Foods Should I Introduce to My Child First?

• • •

When your child is about six months old, you can start introducing him or her to foods and drinks other than breast milk and infant formula. For most children, you don’t need to introduce foods in a specific order.

By the time your child is seven or eight months old, he or she can eat a variety of foods from different food groups. Your child needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to grow healthy and strong.

Try making a rainbow of different colored foods on your child’s plate. Here are a few examples: • Fruits: bananas, straw-

•

berries, pears, oranges, melons, or avocados Vegetables: cooked spinach, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, or beets Whole grains: whole grain breads, crackers, or pastas Meats: soft, small pieces of beef, lamb, chicken, fish, or turkey Dairy: yogurts or cheeses (pasteurized only)

added sweeteners before they are 12 months old.

Be Their Role Model

Drinks Matter, Too!

When your child is between six and 12 months old, you can offer: • Water (four to six ounces per day) • Breast milk (if you are still breastfeeding) or infant formula Do not give cow's milk, almond milk, or other types of milk to toddlers until their first birthday. Babies may have an allergic reaction to nut milks, so always talk to a doctor before adding almond milk to the diet.

Foods to Avoid There are certain foods and drinks you should avoid giving your child.

If your child is under 12 months, avoid foods and

drinks such as: • Honey. It could cause a serious type of food poisoning called botulism in children under 12 months.

• Unpasteurized drinks or foods. These items may put your child at risk for E. coli, a harmful bacteria that can cause severe diarrhea. Common unpasteurized foods include raw milk, juice, yogurt, or

cheeses.

• Fortified cow’s milk. It may put your young child under 12 months old at risk for intestinal bleeding.

• Nut-based milk • Fruit juice and other sugary drinks. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children not drink 100% juice or juice drinks with

Once your child is 12 months old or older, they’ll be eating more of the foods that you eat. Eating a healthy diet sets a good example for your children.

It’s important for children and adults alike to limit foods that are high in sodium and added sugars.

Eating a healthy diet can help children get the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. For adults, a healthy diet can help protect against a number of serious and costly chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and obesity.

A healthy diet is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat or fat-free dairy. The USDA’s ChooseMyPlate can help you choose the healthy foods and drinks that work for your family.

nects to the vagina. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play

a role in causing most cervical cancer. When exposed to HPV, the body's immune system typically prevents the

virus from doing harm. In a small percentage of people, however, the virus survives for years, contributing to the

process that causes some cervical cells to become cancer cells. You can reduce your risk of developing cervical

cancer by having screening tests and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection.

What is the difference between brand-name and generic drugs?

Generic drugs contain the same active ingredient as their brand-name counterparts. However, they usually cost much less than the brand-name version.

Before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a generic drug, the medication must meet rigorous approval standards.

The FDA stipulates that the generic drug must be “pharmaceutically equivalent” to its brand-name version.

This ensures that generic drugs have the same purity, strength, stability, and quality as brand-name drugs.

However, not all brandname drugs are available in a low-cost generic form.

Fast facts

• Manufacturers formulate generic drugs to work the same way and provide the same benefits as their branded counterparts.

• Once a brand-name drug’s patent has expired, a drug company can file an “abbreviated new drug application” (ANDA).

This allows them to produce a generic version of the same drug.

• The generic drug must meet strict standards before the FDA will approve it.

• Researchers have found that many branded drugs have regular annual or biannual price increases.

• According to the FDA, generic drugs may cost 8085% less than their brandname equivalents.

• Anyone can search the ‘Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations’ (also called the Orange Book) for FDA-approved drugs and patent information.

Price

Typically, generic drugs cost less than their brandname equivalents. There are several reasons for this: Research costs. Generic drugs benefit from a reduction in upfront research costs.

Competition. When more than one company produces a generic version of the same drug, there is more competition. Lower prices generally go hand-in-hand with more competition.

Appearance. Brand-name and generic drugs must contain the same active ingredi-

ent. However, characteristics of the drug not affecting the safety or efficacy may be different. This includes their appearance. United States trademark laws do not allow generic drugs to look exactly the same as the equivalent brand-name drugs. However, the extent of these differences is regulated.

Approval standards

The FDA requires generic drugs to meet a number of standards before approval.

These include: • The generic drug is “pharmaceutically equivalent” to the brand drug.

• The manufacturer can produce the generic drug both correctly and consistently.

• The generic drug has the same “active ingredient” as the brand drug.

• The correct amount of the active ingredient gets to the target area in the body.

• The ”inactive ingredients” in the generic drug are safe.

• The generic drug’s bottle, box, or other container is suitable.

• The generic drug’s label is the same as the brand drug’s label.

• The generic drug does not deteriorate over time.

• The legal exclusivities or patents have expired.

The drug company must submit an ANDA, which is an Abbreviated New Drug Application. It states that the generic drug meets each standard.

Availability

People taking a particular drug may want to know if there is a cheaper generic option. There are several ways to find out if there is a generic version of a brand-name drug: • Ask the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.

• Search for the drug using the FDA’s Drugs@FDA system. Search the brandname drug first.

• Search for the drug using the online version of the Orange Book. Search the brand-name drug first.

• Check the FDA’s list of first-time generic drug approvals. This is where people can find “first generics” — the first time the drug gets FDA approval.

Which is better: Brand or generic?

According to the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD), all FDA-approved generic drugs must meet the same quality, purity, strength, and stability requirements as their brandname counterparts.

During a comparison study of U.S. health insurance claims, researchers found that branded and generic drugs had comparable medical results for chronic physical conditions. The conditions they looked at included hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression. However, another analysis found that generic drugs may not have the same clinical impact for cardiovascular conditions.

When determining the better option between brandname and generic drugs, a person’s healthcare professional may consider the specific health condition and current research when prescribing medication.

In a 2015 report, the American College of Physicians (ACP) called for doctors to prescribe generic over brandname drugs where possible.

Summary

Brand-name and generic drugs contain the same active ingredients in the same amounts. In most cases, they provide the same therapeutic benefits. Although more research is necessary to determine if branded drugs are better for certain conditions, the American College of Physicians says that doctors should prescribe the generic where it is available.

Because they do not have to undergo the same human and animal studies as brand-name drugs, FDA-approved generic drugs are significantly less expensive. This price difference influences some people’s decision to choose generic drugs over brand-name drugs.

However, it is advisable to discuss both brand and generic drug options with a healthcare professional. This allows a person to make the right decision for their health and personal circumstances.

Dinner theatre to help Low Country Hope House fight addiction

From staff reports The nonprofit group Low Country Hope House, which operates recovery homes for alcoholics and addicts, will present a dinner theatre fundraiser at 6 p.m., Saturday, July 31 in the Fellowship hall at Carteret Street United Methodist Church in Beaufort.

An Italian dinner will be followed by the popular play Love Letters, written by the late A.R. Gurney, one of America’s finest playwrights. It will be performed by the hus-

band-and-wife acting team of Jon Sharp and Suzanne Larson. Sharp, who worked as a television director and actor for many years in Hollywood, will direct the performance.

Organizer James Fordham said the event will raise money to help pay for the recovery homes and services for people in desperate need of help.

“Recovery is an issue close to my heart,” Fordham said in a news release. “Our organization operates homes for men and women based

on the effective 12-step program begun by Alcoholics Anonymous. We receive no compensation for this, but the spiritual rewards are rich. It is with deep love and commitment that we pursue healing for those who suffer from the painful disease of alcoholism and drug addiction.”

The Low Country Hope House began operations a few years ago by raising money with weekly yard sales and through donations from the public. It now operates two

2021 a tough one for lovers of old-school hip-hop

B

lack people sometimes discuss entertainers who matter to us in terms of whether they matter to people outside the community: “Is this person famous or Black famous?”

Some Black performers never achieve mainstream success – or even recognition – but they still enjoy what appear to be fulfilling careers playing in front of the people who loved and supported them first.

This came to mind as I have watched hip-hop artists from my younger days transition from this life to the next.

First was John Fletcher, better known as Ecstasy, the bolero-wearing half of the rap duo Whodini. The group’s biggest hit was 1984’s “Friends,” followed closely by “Freaks Come Out at Night.” Lesser known but much loved were tracks like

Morales continued to make hits as a writer and producer (Mary J. Blige’s “Real Love” and Father MC’s “Treat Them Like They Want To be Treated”) long after the Fat Boys’ biggest hit, “Wipeout,” a duet with the Beach Boys.

He died of congestive heart failure at 52.

The most famous of them all died shortly after.

Earl Simmons, aka DMX. Dark Man X was a hip-hop titan, originally showing on the radar with a feature performance on LL Cool J’s “4,3,2,1.” That set the stage for his own debut album, 1998’s “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot,” the first of five albums in a row to debut at the top of the Billboard Top 200. He was the first artist to do that.

While disgruntled workers everywhere claim his “Party Up (Up In Here)” as an anthem — “Y’all gon' make lose my mind, up in here, up in

TERRY MANNING

“Five Minutes of Funk” and the introspective “One Love.”

He was 56.

Then came Mark Anthony Morales, the Fat Boys’ Prince Markie Dee. Along with Darren Robinson (The Human Beatbox) and Damon Wimbley (Kool Rock Ski), Morales was part of the genre’s earliest superstar group. The Fat Boys’ sense of humor about their girth and the undeniable appeal of songs like “Stick Em” and the jazzy cautionary tale “Jail House Rap,” made them a name in Black households well before they crossed over.

here” – a smaller population will bob heads to his “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” and “Get at Me Dog.” The narrator to his “Slippin’” recounts personal struggles while trying to make positive life changes.

The song becomes more poignant in light of DMX’s high-profile battle with drug addiction and death at age 50 from a cocaine-induced heart attack.

Gregory Jacobs died just days later. The Brooklyn native found fame and fortune on the West Coast as Shock G leader of the jazz-funk hip-hop act Digital Underground. The video for their biggest hit, “The Humpty Dance,” was an MTV smash, featuring Jacob’s other alter-ego, the hedonistic MC Humpty Hump.

Looking back, it seems almost quaint there was a controversy over Humpty’s brag that he “once got busy

in a Burger King bathroom.”

Jacobs died at 57 of an accidental drug overdose.

And just last week, we lost the Clown Prince of HipHop, the Diabolical, the one and only Biz Markie. The man born Marcel Hall will be remembered by most for his hit, “Just a Friend.”

The story rap of a love interest downplaying the constant presence of another man was inescapable in 1989.

The song’s video seemed like it was on MTV every hour with the Biz, in powdered wig and Mozart attire, crooning, “Oh baby yoouu, you got what I neeeed, but you say he’s just a friend, but you say he’s just a friend.”

He refuted the “onehit wonder” label, telling Entertainment Weekly: “I know what I did in hip-hop.”

And we know, too, pointing to his classic tracks “Make the Music with Your Mouth,”

“Vapors,” “Nobody Beats the Biz,” and feature appearances for a variety of artists.

It’s been a devastating series of losses of people who brought us so much musical pleasure, and we’re not even past July.

Public Enemy’s Chuck D weighed in on Twitter: “On (the) road eating the wrong food will eventually kill you, lack of sleep & activity will kill you. … It is tough. But it’s the trade. I never did drugs or drink, but it’s hard enough.”

These performers transcended “Black famous” to win broader acclaim, but they were ours first and will be ours forever. Their music will live on, and as Chuck D wrote, may they rest in beats.

Terry E. Manning lives and works in Savannah, Ga. He is a Clemson graduate and worked for 20 years as a journalist. He can be reached at teemanning@gmail.com.

Watercolor artist Whyte signing on July 30

From staff reports Internationally renowned American figurative artist Mary Whyte will sign copies of her new book We the People: Portraits of Veterans in America from 4 to 6 p.m., Friday, July 29, at Nevermore Books in Beaufort.

We the People features 50 watercolor portraits of military veterans: one from each state, and from all branches of the military and all walks of life. We the People was the subject of a CBS “Sunday Morning” piece, and the traveling exhibition of largescale paintings is currently on display at the Huntsville Museum of Art in Alabama.

Medal of Honor recipient, Major General James E. Livingston, USMC (ret.), said, "Mary Whyte's We the People is a moving and important tribute to our nation's greatest patriots — the men and women who served our country with courage, selflessness, and honor."

We the people — these words embody the ethos of what it means to be an American citizen. As individuals we are a tapestry of colors and creeds; united we are a nation committed to preserving our hard-earned freedom.

In We the People, Whyte captures this ethos as well as the dedication, responsi-

bility, and courage it takes to fulfill that promise.

We the People is not only a tour across and through these vast United States, it is a tour through the heart and soul, the duty and the commitment of the people who protect not only our Constitution and our country but our very lives. We can only be deeply grateful, inspired, and humbled by all of them.

Whyte’s works are in private, corporate, university and public collections nationwide, and have been featured in numerous media outlets including CBS “Sunday Morning,” SCETV’s “Palmetto Scene,” and NPR. She

is the recipient of numerous awards including the Portrait Society of America's Gold Medal, the Carolinas Freedom Foundation’s Freedom Award, the National DAR Medal of Honor, the NSDAR Women in the Arts Award, and the South Carolina Governor's Award for the Arts (South Carolina’s highest honor in the arts).

In 2019, Whyte founded the Patriot Art Foundation as a means to honor and inspire veterans through the arts. Whyte is the author of seven books including Down Bohicket Road and Working South. For more information, visit MaryWhyte.com.

Beaufort High’s O’Brien selected for Boys Nation

By Mike McCombs In what has become a rite of summer, a handful of rising high school seniors in Beaufort County were chosen by the American Legion to attend Boys State, held this year from June 13 to 19 at Anderson University.

Among 550 young men statewide, this year’s local selections include Jake Alvarez (Beaufort High), Brock Durham (Holy Trinity), Ivan Huerta (Battery Creek), Quade Matthews (Battery Creek), Emmett O’Brien (Beaufort High), Anuj Patel (Beaufort High), Brian Rogers (Beaufort Academy), Graham Ruff (Beaufort High) and Aidan Tibbitt (John Paul II).

This year, however, Beaufort High School’s Emmett O’Brien was selected to move on to Boys Nation, held in Washington D.C. from Friday, July 23 to Saturday, July 31.

“I enjoyed it a lot. It was a great experience,” O’Brien said of Boys State. “It really can’t be explained, only experienced. It was an incredible experience.”

The American Legion’s calls its Boys State program a “Laboratory of Government.”

During the week each young man has the chance to run for and be elected to mock offices ranging from city level (e.g. city council, mayor) to state constitutional offices (e.g. lieutenant governor and governor).

While at Boys State, citizens will be divided into “cities” and “counties” and divided into two political parties. They then campaign and/or elect city, county, and state officers.

“By doing so, citizens will

“They will have an opportunity to prepare speeches, compose party platforms, debate current issues, and vote for elected offices.”

O’Brien was elected to the state senate in Anderson.

During their week in Anderson, the boys were visited

by Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina Education Superintendent Molly Spearman and Governor Henry McMaster,

just to name a few.

At the end of Boys State, two representatives from each of the 49 Boys States are chosen to represent their state at Boys Nation in Washington, where the young leaders receive an education on the structure and function of federal government.

“I didn’t even know that was an option until the last day, they called me in an interviewed me,” O’Brien said. “I got a call from a counselor to let me know I’d gotten nominated. The interview lasted 10

to 15 minutes. I knew by that night I’d been selected.” “(Boys State) really exceeded our expectations, though we didn’t really have a lot of expectations,” Liz O’Brien, Emmett’s mother, said. “He’s obviously never done it before, so it exceeded all of them. But it was so organized, so thorough.

Our impression was that it was a really impressive program.”

Where Boys State was very general, Boys Nation, in turn, focuses on the U.S. Senate and crafting, debating and passing legislation.

Boys State Group.

“At the event, each delegate acts as a senator from his Boys State. The young lawmakers caucus at the beginning of the session, then organize into committees and conduct hearings on bills submitted by program delegates,” according to the Boys Nation website. “Senators learn the proper method of handling bills, according to U.S. Senate rules. Participation in the political process is emphasized throughout the week, including organization of party conventions and nominating and electing a president

and vice president.”

The “senators” also hear lectures, attend forums and take visits to federal agencies, national shrines, institutions, memorials and historical sites. On Capitol Hill, Boys Nation senators also meet with elected officials from their home states.

“Boys state was an amazing experience,” O’Brien said, “and I’m looking forward to boys nation.”

and student body,” founding Headmaster Rev. Chad E. Lawrence wrote in a letter to Holy Trinity parents earlier this month. “We have prayed that the Lord would provide the person of His choosing for this important position, and in His graciousness He has provided. So, we are pleased to formally announce that the Rev. Joseph A. Lawrence has answered this call. “‘Prof.,’ as he is affectionately called around here, and his wife, Joette, and their three children, Samantha, Sophia, and Andrew are no

strangers to the Holy Trinity community. But, as a gifted teacher, strong proponent of classical Christian education, and dedicated under-shepherd to the Good Shepherd, we are most confident and hopeful for the future of our school as Dean Lawrence develops this brand-new position.”

Lawrence graduated summa cum laude from Franciscan University of Steubenville with a major in English Literature and a minor in Philosophy, and graduated from Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa., with a

Masters of Divinity.

"Holy Trinity has been a place where charity and fidelity, truth and beauty, valor and virtue are not dusty words from a forgotten past but living realities lighting the way to a meaningful future,” Lawrence said in a release. “I am delighted to serve as the Dean of the Upper School in such a place."

Holy Trinity Classical Christian School was founded in 2012 and is an independent, non-parochial school which serves more than 400 students in the Beaufort community.

Host Eagles edge Seahawks for FCA 7-on-7 title

By Wes Kerr The 2021 high school football season in the Lowcountry is off and running.

Eight area public and private schools got a taste of live competition Thursday in a 7-on-7 tournament at Beaufort High School presented by the South Coastal Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The host Eagles continued their local dominance on the gridiron, downing Hilton Head Island 12-6 in the championship game to finish the day 6-0 and claim preseason county bragging rights.

Bluffton, May River, Whale Branch, Wade Hampton, and defending SCISA 1A and 2A state champions Thomas Heyward and Hilton Head Christian Academy also participated. The event included a lunchtime message from FCA leaders and an inspirational story from former Clemson quarterback Rush Lowther about his football journey and Christian faith.

“I think the most important thing is that you’re talking about having a relationship with Jesus Christ,” Beaufort High head coach Bryce Lybrand said. “Football is great, but the most important part is that, and hopefully somebody left today knowing something they didn’t know.”

The tournament began with three games of pool play before the teams were seeded into an eight-team bracket. After both survived close battles in the quarterfinals, Beaufort High outdueled an impressive and young Bluffton side in a 38-30 shootout, while Hilton Head’s stellar defense led by Notre Dame commit Jaylen Sneed propelled the Seahawks to the title game in a 6-0 shutout of May River.

“We all played together as a team, and I just made my reads and watched the quarterback’s eyes,” Sneed said. “I’m trying to coach up the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, and make sure they know what to

The Beaufort Eagles and Wade Hampton Red Devils squared off during the South Coastal Fellowship of Christian Athletes 7-on-7 tournament Thursday at Beaufort High School. Area high school football teams played a scrimmage-type game for 20 minutes in a single elimination format. The Eagles went 6-0 and defeated Hilton Head Island High School 12-6 for the championship.

A state championship is the dream, but I want to get into the playoffs and be able to call this team my family.”

Beaufort continued its sensational play on offense to begin the championship, as Tyler Haley tossed a dazzling corner fade before a spectacular arm-extension grab doubled the lead to 12-0. Hilton Head High made it a ballgame late on a quick hook in the middle of the end zone, but a dazzling juke on the ensuing Beaufort High possession ran out the clock and put the exclamation mark on an outstanding Eagle performance.

“All of these kids that played today played really, really well,” Lybrand said. “We go against each other every day, so it’s good to see the different ways people adjust to what you do offensively and defensively. That’s good for us as coaches, and it’s good practice for us as well.”

Haley, the Eagles’ senior

quarterback, showcased his terrific passing abilities, lighting up the scoreboard against a group of strong area defenses.

A wide receiver with the potential for a monster season, Kacy Fields dominated his matchups all day alongside emerging wideouts Mcleod Reichel and Michael Dennison.

Daryl Depass delivered a lockdown defensive effort at corner, and junior safety Colton Phares put together a phenomenal outing, snatching a pair of interceptions on the day to go along with seven tackles.

For the victorious Eagles and the rest of the eight-team field, it was an opportunity for an early tune-up against familiar rivals before the real thing kicks off in August.

“We were able to see some good football teams and get reps,” Lybrand said. “When that happens, you have a chance to improve, and that was what today was about. I feel like we’re a better football team today than we were when we came out here.”

I

I am reminded why I love this town

t is Saturday morning, and I’m on my slightly-worsefor-the-wear deck. This morning I have my coffee (Peet’s Major Dickason’s Blend), a Food Lion-brand Chocolate Chip Cookie (“dare to dunk differently”) and a view of my side yard.

That yard presents a tableau that looks like the Somme Battlefield complete with an uprooted tree and two other trees severed at the 20-foot level. The yard is still covered with debris and my mood resides beneath that debris fluctuating between acceptance, resignation and hope.

I am sitting, coffee in hand, awaiting the arrival of my friends—friends who will come with chain saws, wheel barrows and degenerating spinal vertebras. As I wait my mind jumps from deductibles, to the cost of plywood (for a busted-out window) to the notion that Port Royal will pick up whatever debris

SCOTT GRABER

we can drag to 9th Street. All of this drama began Wednesday night when my wife, Susan, screamed “Get on the floor!” into my sleep-addled face.

“Get on the floor” was confusing but, given the tenor of her voice, I did what I was told while we listened to a series of explosions as the tops of nearby oak and magnolia trees were removed by a tornado.

My 9th Street neighbors were also reacting to “Tornado Warning” blasting unexpectedly from their cell phones. They were ducking into closets or, in one

instance, getting into a bath tub. We would later learn that this particular tornado formed somewhere on Parris Island, came across the Sound, making random stops in the Town of Port Royal.

We were one of those stops.

At some point my wife and I realized there was another sound — the sound of breaking glass in our downstairs library. We arrived to find rain horizontally streaming through a broken window and, about the same moment, a layer of broken glass shards coating our old, Persian carpet. In the midst of these two discoveries Susan decided that we should cover the busted-out window with a 30 gallon-sized garbage bag.

Somehow in the darkness she had found the bag but now there was the question of attaching the bag to the window frame. The choices were duct tape or multi-col-

ored push pins. There was discussion, some disagreement in the midst of the rain and glass, but eventually we settled on push pins.

Early the next morning I toured our battlefield, comparing this damage to that of Matthew and Irma. I also compared tornadoes with hurricanes and decided that there was one good thing about a “tornado event” — it doesn’t last very long.

Maybe fifteen minutes tops.

With a tornado there is never the innocuous announcement — almost a footnote — that a depression has formed-up off West Africa. There is never the inevitable turn to the Weather Channel where we see the Accu-Weather tracks usually bringing the now-named Hurricane to the Southeast Coast. There is never the arrival of Jim Cantore; or any other wind-beaten, slick-

er-wearing forecaster screaming that this storm is “The size of Rhode Island.”

After my tour of the yard, I had a court-ordered mediation — and so I reluctantly left the devastation for the carpeted comfort and 78 degree temperature of a conference room. While I was there, a man pulled up to our house and told my wife, “I want to clean your yard.”

“Thank you for your concern, your offer, but we will get to this mess as soon as my husband comes home,” she said.

“You don’t understand,” he said. “I really want to do this and I’m going to insist.”

And so while I argued issues of negligence, and notice and duty to customers, this man — a decorated Iraqi War veteran I did not know — began chain-sawing his way through the six-foot high mountain of tree limbs that then rested on our deck. He

worked alone for five hours.

Then he stopped, cleaned and oiled his chainsaw, and drove away.

I have since learned this man’s name, and will not repeat it in this piece, but I will say it is these spontaneous, freely-given acts of kindness that give me hope in these difficult times.

In a few minutes David Murray, Dean Moss, Wendy Zara, Ken Bodine, Lewis Bruce, Kit Bruce, Kristin Monroe, Joe Morrall, Don Altman and Donna Altman will also arrive with their chainsaws, wheel barrows, Spondylothesis and age-related arthrosis. They will work with me for hours, in 96-degree heat, reminding me (again) why I love this small town.

The false and dangerous dichotomy of the “culture wars”

S

ocial and cultural anthropologists understand how the culture of a society is changed.

A dominant civilization or society most effectively changes a culture when it invades and conquers a subordinate one by force of arms. The losers are forced to change into something entirely different from what they were, if they survive.

Colonialism by dominant European states accomplished this. For example, Spain’s domination of the Caribbean islands’ native peoples, including eliminating most of the old leaders. Some would call this this type of rapid cultural change “genocide.”

More slowly, the peoples of one culture come in contact with other foreign cultures; sometimes friendly, sometimes not. When the influence of one has a profound effect on the other, one adopts the other’s ethos (core values).

When France placed Maximillian I on the throne

I

DAVID TAUB

of Mexico in 1864, the elite members of Mexican society adopted everything French: architecture and furniture, clothing, celebrations, mannerisms, values, etc.

The adoption of the culture of another, or some major elements thereof, tends to be gradual.

Differing forces within the same culture that clash with each other over cultural values takes even longer.

We are witnessing this phenomenon today, and it is incorrectly called “culture wars.” The members of one force, referred to politically as the “far right,” are waging a so-called “war” against the values of what is referred to politically as the “far left.”

Neither of these labels cor-

rectly define the socio-cultural dynamics at play today in America.

A major facet in this “war of American values” is a carefully orchestrated movement against honestly teaching America’s racist history. It is a fast and furious attempt designed to steamroll truth in our educational systems.

Having an open mind to change in all its forms was a lesson I, and virtually all of my friends in Houston, learned in my Texas public school experience. That included one year’s requirement of the core subject of “Civics.”

Texas legislators, just one of many states, now want to control what teachers teach, and severely punish them if they tread too far afield. This is culture change at it base, and it surely was not the culture that I was inculcated with during my youth.

I worked at a grocery store throughout my high school years in the late 1950s. Every grocery store

in Houston had “white” and “colored” signs on water fountains and toilets.

Unfortunately, when those signs were removed in the mid 1960s, this “act” was not enough to end the effects of centuries of the subordination of "coloreds” in America.

Too many other “signs" existed to remind them of “white power” that remained." Even though much progress has been made in our culture’s attempt to eliminate racism, it remains a dark stain on our values today.

The uninformed and ignorant critics of so-called “Critical Race Theory” (aka CRT) really do not know what it means; they conflate CRT with any vestige of American racism, which clearly it is not. That is the same as calling folks “Nazis” when they are not; or “socialists” when they are not; or “traitors” when they are not. Those folks on both sides of the extremes, are oblivious to what those

labels actually mean. Using them as insulting name-calling labels trivializes the real meaning of these terms.

Misunderstanding what CRT is and the vicious arguments subsequently engendered is driven by political forces, at all levels of government. At its core, the CRT controversy is not about honestly examining America’s history of race and its evil twin, racism.

Rather it is about “white” Americans’ racial anxiety and its “woke” to the growing reality that in just a few years’ time, the white majority will be lost, as reflected in our rapidly changing demographics.

The dominance of white folks, as a primary element of our culture will remain, even when they no longer are the numerically dominant “tribe. This scares the living bejesus out of them.

“What, white Americans are becoming a minority?

OMG! Those black and brown folks want too much; they hate America. They are

not real patriots” In the varied experiences of my life, I have found that when some people descend to name-calling and character assassination — the lowest form of “debate” — they have lost the argument.

“You are a low-life traitor and a foolish jerk. Your ideas are worthless and therefore valueless. I win, you lose!

Period.”

At this point, any real debate is halted by that solid brick wall of witlessness.

What has become all too clear is that elected legislators in way too many states seem hell bent on taking away our freedom to make decisions for ourselves, our families and our communities. Now THAT is the real definition of freedom, with a capital (F).

Water Festival is the finale of summer skill

n the soupiness of late July, the air – heavily scented with coconut, diesel fuel, lingering hints of fried chicken, and undertones of regret – carries anticipation with purpose.

Something to be experienced rather than explained awaits a socially starved island town.

The past year brought a confining season disrupting the annual exhale. With bated breath, we prepare to move into the freedom of sun, sand, and southern shenanigans.

Cautiously, we peer out of burrows, males waiving their dominant claw while females scatter about at the beckoning of social norms that lower along with the tide. In-

Hold tight to your clothes, beer, and dignity, as best you can, knowing one is sure to fall. Dodge photos

with ninja-like precision to avoid becoming Water Fest famous.

A communal equalizer, the sandbar discriminates not on class, rank, or file.

Stripped down and unplugged from the divisiveness of everyday titles, we bare all, in some situations figuratively, others quite literally.

The distinction between White Collar and Blue Collar gives way to more necessary comparisons. Can you or can't you back a boat trailer?

Can you or can't you frolic from stern to bow? Can you or can't you survive a swift tide with a beer in hand?

without a DNR escort to the palace of poor choices?

There is no room for weakness; it is survival of the fittest in more ways than one. The Olympics of sandbar days, Water Festival is the finale of summer skill, the measure of mayhem management, and the most excellent show of conspicuous, often costly, temporal behavior.

The ability to wander among the herd and emerge unscathed, unvanquished, and reputation intact, is not an easy feat. Many will try, many will fail, and yet many are forgiven. The allowance of indiscretion extended slightly to protect the previously innocent, even if only once.

The sun will eventually set and damage will be assessed. Like bodies scattered after a battle, some have fallen, victimized by circumstance, while others have lived to fight another day.

The ill-prepared will fold like Koozies, while the more experienced reign victorious.

Photo evidence will tell stories, and stories will become legends. Harrowing moments of wardrobe malfunction, beer misplacement, and the terrifying expired sunscreen will linger in office chatter for months. Men will boast of avoiding near collisions on boats, while women boast of avoiding men. All will boast evading a snapshot in orange.

Knowing well the dan-

gers, we forge on unmasked, unbridled, and unaware of unidentified floating objects.

We join our friends, family, and perfect strangers to bathe in the waters, bake in the sun, and once again bond with one another after a year, distanced from all we know.

May the tide be ever in your favor, photo evidence minimal, and incarceration circumvented. It is one hell of a ride! Happy Water Festival, Beaufort!

Veterans should know their VA Social Worker!

E

very Veteran should know their VA Social Worker. If a Veteran or Veteran’s immediate family or caregiver has questions about VA benefits or how to solve problems, the VA social worker will be able to help or can refer you to the right person.

Eligible Veterans in the LowCountry of SC and Savanna and Hinesville GA area not only need to sign up for VA Medical Care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System (previously RHJVA Medical Center), one of its seven Community Based Out Patient Clinics (CBOCs & Annex), or online at https:// www.va.gov/health-care/apply/application/introduction but they also need-to-know who their VA social worker is and how to get in touch with their social worker.

The Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System (RHJVAHCS) and its seven CBOCs and Annex serve over 80,00 Veterans in 21 LowCountry SC and GA counties, encompassing more than 15,000 square miles. This five-star, flagship, tertiary-care, and teaching medical center is rated in the top 10% of all public and private hospitals in the USA for quality of care, customer satisfaction, and many other metrics.

One of the many reasons the RHJVAHCS out performs other private and government medical centers is the wonderful team of 170 Social Workers working at the VA medical center and

its out-patient clinics. This team of Masters and PHD level educated VA Social Service professionals have also been instrumental in the RHJVAHCS achieving a Press Ganey inpatient experience rating in the top 3%, on the hospital metric, compared to over 340 other Press Ganey clients in the southeast region. See https:// www.pressganey.com to learn more about Press Ganey customer reviews and surveys.

To get a referral to the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System’s Fisher House Charleston, the social worker or other provider submits

a consult. A social worker at the other local hospitals (Beaufort Memorial, MUSC, Roper, Saint Francis, etc.) can contact the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System Administrative Officer of the Day (AOD) after business hours, weekends, and holidays to check eligibility.

During week day business hours, the local (non-VA) hospital social worker contacts the outpatient social worker, to request a consult to be put in for the caregiver.

There are 120 social workers supporting Mental Health and 50 social workers supporting every other program area of the RHJVAHCS system. While providing counseling, therapy, supportive services, and case management to veterans, Social Workers also serve as a vital team member in a system that relies heavily on the interdisciplinary (team) approach to health care and Veteran support.

VA social workers offer a variety of services, including resource navigation, crisis intervention, advocacy, benefit assistance, behavioral health therapies for depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, substance use dependence, and homelessness (just to name a few). Social workers also ensure continuity of care through the admission, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up processes, and they provide assessment, crisis intervention, high-risk management, advocacy, and education throughout the continuum of care.

The VA is expanding its scope to not only treat medical and mental health concerns, but it is also increasing its efforts to tackle housing, legal issues, caregiver support, and community planning. The VA Social Worker is the central point of contact for continuity of care within the VA system.

To get a referral to the RHJVAHCS’s Fisher House Charleston, the social worker or other provider submits a consult.

Every Veteran in the LowCountry of SC and GA

should read about VA Social Work at the VA Health Administration website at https://www.socialwork. va.gov/about.asp. Veterans can and should find out who their assigned Social Worker is by asking their Primary Care Physician or Nurse or by calling the RHJVAHCS Social Work phone number 943-789-7635, which is in the RHJVAHCS online phone directory at https://www. charleston.va.gov/contact/ phone_directory.asp.

You can also get help finding out who your VA Social Worker and your Primary Care Physician are by calling the RHJVA Health Care System main number at 843-5775011 and speak to an operator.

Medicine of Immortality The Witness of Ignatius of Antioch

Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of John the Apostle.

Born around the year 50, Ignatius learned the faith directly from the apostle John! Ignatius became the bishop of Antioch in modern-day Turkey. In the year 108, he was arrested for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. Soldiers took him in chains to Rome to be put to death. Along the way, he wrote seven short letters to the local Christian communities. These letters can still be read today, offering an amazing glimpse into the faith of the early Christians.

The Eucharist is the source of Christian unity.

In his letter to the church at Philadelphia, he writes, “Make it a point, then, to participate in one Eucharist. For the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ is one, and one is the cup that yields unity in his blood.” Here, Ignatius echoes the teaching of Paul. (1 Cor 10:17) The Eucharist does not celebrate the unity of Christians, but actually brings that unity about, for the believers each become truly one with Jesus as they receive him in Holy Communion, and thus one with each other.

In his letters, we find the first uses of the word “Eucharist.”

From the verb meaning “to give thanks” in Greek, Ignatius uses Eucharist to describe the celebration of the Lord’s Supper and the blessed bread and wine one receives in the Supper. He writes as if it is already a common expression among the Christians of his day, rather than a new word he is introducing for the first time.

Strengthened by the Eucharist, Ignatius gave his life for Jesus.

When he arrived in Rome, he was put to death by being fed to wild animals for public entertainment. He declared, “It is better for me to die on behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.” After a lifetime of uniting himself to Jesus in the Eucharist, Ignatius was ready to imitate his Lord and Savior, courageously sacrificing his life out of love for Jesus.

The Eucharist is central to Christian life.

In his writings, the Eucharist is at the heart of Christian worship and spiritual life. Christians are united by their common celebration of the Eucharist, led by their bishop, presbyters (priests), and deacons.

The Eucharist is not a symbol, but truly Jesus giving himself as the Bread of Life. In his letter to the Ephesians, he beautifully describes the Eucharist as “the medicine of immortality, and the antidote we take in order not to die but to live forever in Christ Jesus.”

The Eucharist is truly the flesh and blood of Jesus.

Cautioning the church at Smyrna against the errors of a heretical group, Ignatius writes, “They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again.” Ignatius takes for granted that authentic Christians participate in the Lord’s Supper and that the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Jesus. The Eucharist is a union with the Lord’s glorified body: his body which has been crucified, raised from the dead, and is now in heaven.
