Above and beyond Love pushes sea turtle volunteers of Pritchard’s and Little Capers islands to overcome obstacles

E
very year, more than 1,100 South Carolinians commit their summers to protecting and monitoring the nesting activity of sea turtles on our beaches from May to October. Of them, 16 dedicated volunteers truly go above and beyond the call of ordinary sea turtle patrol duty in Beaufort Country. They are the sea turtle volunteers of Pritchard’s and Little Capers islands. These two barrier islands on the fringe of the Atlantic are
wild, uninhabited, and only accessible by boat, during a specific tidal window. They are wilderness nesting homes for threatened loggerhead sea turtles, although the occasional endangered variety of sea turtle is also reported. Incidentally, Pritchard’s Island is one of Beaufort Country’s most nested beaches, with 108 nests last year. Its remoteness creates a number of logistical challenges for the small group of

From staff reports There’s one Beaufort tradition that keeps getting bigger and bigger, and it’s only days away. The Wardle Family YMCA will be holding the 15th annual Beaufort River Swim (BRS) on Saturday, June 12, but this year, organizers have expanded the event to include more running events. The BRS+8K/5K not only includes the traditional 3.2-mile open water competitive swim and 1-mile Fun Swim, but additional running events and three Challenges: Run/ Swim/Run, Swim/Run, and Relay held over two days, June 11-12. Denice Fanning, Event Director and YMCA Healthy Living Program Director, has been planning this expanded 2-day event since last September’s successful BRS when a 5K was added. “Last’s year’s BRS was moved because of the pandemic, but we were able to hold a very successful event in September 2020, adding the 5K as a test,” Fanning said in a release. “We found there was a lot of pent-up demand for athletic events and that demand has certainly increased, so we have added an 8K timed run, a Kids Dash fun run, as well as the 5K run.” The 8K Run and Kids Dash will take place on Friday, June 11 starting at 5:45 p.m. in Port Royal at the Community Beer Garden/Sands Beach, and the 5K run will take place on Saturday, June 12 following the Beaufort River Swim, which stages at the downtown Beaufort Marina parking lot with check-in starting at 6 a.m. “We have set up three Challenges which will test the mettle of serious athletes such as triathletes, high school and college athletes and any multi-sport athlete who is up for the

Thanks Dominion for the heads up … NOT
A
BEAUFORT fter weeks of citizens’ complaints about tree cutting, folks from Dominion Energy paid a visit to the Beaufort City Council last week … but not to talk about tree limbs or troublesome palmettos. No, the regional corporate team came to tell the elected officials and those who came to listen their latest plans for improving electrical service to our rapidly growing area. For 30 minutes, the team outlined their plans for high-voltage distribution and transmission lines to serve, not just Beaufort, but the increasing residences east of the city, out on the islands. And those plans, to the shock and horror of those present, include the replacement of 115 wooden poles with taller, galvanized steel pillars,

similar to those already marching into town from Yemassee and crossing the Whale Branch. The six-mile path for new poles starts in Burton, will cross Battery Creek and run along Fraser Drive, down the Spanish Moss Trail, down Southside Blvd., over Ribaut Road to the Beaufort River. (Anyone wanting more details about the plan can check out the video of the May 25 city council
workshop meeting on the City of Beaufort’s Facebook page.) Maybe “shock and horror” are too severe words to describe the reaction of those few citizens in the live audience that night allowed to watch their local government at work. But the word “victimized” was one word used by an upset North Street area neighbor and that emotion seems more appropriate. Those concerned about the Dominion’s tree-trimming and palmetto-removing program have largely felt that way as they were told time and again, “the trimming is required for line safety.” And the City Council and staff believe their hands are tied to do anything about it. The Dominion folks did offer one

League of Women Voters Beaufort hosting history makers at annual meeting
From staff reports Beaufort is a town steeped in history. And anyone who has lived here more than a week knows that and is also keenly aware of the significance of names and places around town and around the community. But why wait for history?

The event, Hear Our Stories – Women Making a Difference in Beaufort, is online, free and open to the public. Those the organization will hear from include: • Marie Smalls, Executive Director of the Beaufort County Board of Elections, and what path brought her to this significant leadership position in the county and statewide. • Barb Nash, a nurse and first time candidate for office this past year, and what she learned about herself and the political process and what
she might tell others who want to engage this way. • Alison Davidow, a retired federal manager who, since her retirement, has been very active in a number of organizations including her church. • Anne Pollitzer, a fifth generation Beaufortonian and former teacher, who served in the Peace Corps in the 1960’s in Nepal and how it influenced her community involvement after returning to the Low Country. The organization will also be celebrating a year in which the Beaufort League actively participated in a Presidential election, as well as elections for Senate, House, County, and City representatives.

Rowing Club still looking for a home
By Lolita Huckaby Real estate, especially waterfront real estate, is at a prime these days, and it’s not just potential homeowners who are feeling the pain. The Beaufort Rowing Club, chartered in 2010 and registered with USRowing, lost their Battery Creek “home” earlier this year when rents for the private dock, under
new ownership, went from $900 for the year to $800 per month. “Needless to say, that was beyond the club’s financial capability so, … we’re looking for a new home,” Club President Carl Linke said. Since vacating the dock, club members have pursued different options for a location that will provide them
access to the water, preferably water that is not too open to make rowing difficult. They’ve approached private homeowners associations which have community docks and local marinas but
to no avail. The 40 or so club members range between their 20s and their 80s in age, but all share a love for the water and the skill of rowing. The club also welcomes beginners who are willing to learn the skills of successful rowing. “It’s been a double hit since we had to shut down for a year because of Covid, and
now this,” Linke said. “It’s almost humorous that there’s ‘water, water everywhere’ but not a place to store your boats.” In the meantime, while some members are keeping in shape with their own boats, the club’s four four-seat shells and three eight-seaters remain stored at a member’s home, waiting for a home.

Public hearing on City’s proposed 2022 budget set for June 8
From staff reports City Manager Bill Prokop’s recommended operating budget of $23,769,178 for Fiscal Year 2022, which was presented to City Council at its May 18 Work Session, includes a reduction in property taxes and reflects the City’s expectation that tourism will rebound in the coming year. “The Covid-19 pandem-
ic will have a long-lasting impact on our community, the county, the state and the world,” Prokop said during his presentation. “However, this summer, with vaccines readily available, hospitalizations down, and our most vulnerable fully vaccinated, we are optimistic that we will see a strong rebound of our local economy.” A public hearing and first
reading of the budget ordinance are scheduled for the June 8 Regular Meeting. The second and final reading of the budget ordinance is scheduled for the June 22 Regular Meeting. The fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2022. Public comments during these sessions can be made in person or through the Zoom link posted at the top
of each agenda. The proposed budget can be viewed at https://bit. ly/3wPCPMO. The $23.7 million comes in at 3.24% over the FY 2021 budget, and includes a 1.1 millage reduction, which means that homeowners will pay less in property tax. The City’s Parks and Tourism Fund and State Accommodations Fund are expected to
increase as accommodations and hospitality taxes begin to grow with more tourists and visitors. The budget reflects no new debt. At the presentation, Finance Director Kathy Todd said that the City was expecting to receive approximately $5 million from the American Rescue Plan, which was passed earlier this year by
Congress and includes funds for states, counties and cities impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The City is still awaiting final guidance from the federal government about how those funds can be used. Of that amount, approximately $80,000 is configured into the FY 2022 budget to offset financial losses related to the pandemic.
Phone directory publisher earns lifetime achievement award
From staff reports Even by Brent Cooper’s standards, this was a once-ina-lifetime haul of awards. The Lowcountry Phone Directory captured eight prizes in the Association of Directory Publishers (ADP) annual awards for Yellow Pages publishers, and the company’s owner was also recognized for his lifetime achievements. Cooper was bestowed the Wil Lewis Award, given on occasion by the ADP board of directors to recognize exceptional contributions to the industry. “It’s hard to describe just how honored I am to be recognized by peers I respect so much,” Cooper said in a release. “This is really a tribute to my parents, who taught me so much about the publishing industry; my hard-working staff; and, of course, the Yellow Pages customers we serve.”
Cooper, who has spent most of his life in Beaufort, has owned the Lady’s Island-based phone directory since 1994. The Lowcountry Phone Directory also was named the Directory of the Year among phone books with a distribution higher than 50,001. It marked the third consecutive year in which the directory took this top prize. CPC also won the Publisher of the Year Award. In all, the Lowcountry Phone Directory has won 23 ADP awards in just the past three years. ADP was founded in 1898 and includes members from the U.S., Canada and several other nations. Its Directory Excellence Awards, presented May 13 at the association’s national conference in Memphis, Tenn., are a judgeand peer-voted recognition of outstanding Yellow Pages

The 2021 directory — the company’s 27th — was mailed this March to customers in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. In addition to residential and business listings, it includes profiles of prominent area residents, images captured
by local photographers, a newcomers guide, and hurricane tracking and evacuation maps. Cooper prints his Yellow Pages on magazine-quality stock and uses call tracking to help advertisers measure the return on their investment. He also delivers most
of its press run — about 77,000 copies — through the U.S. Mail. These innovations explain Cooper’s success, but they aren’t exactly “secrets,” Richard Peterson of Florida-based Direct Data Corporation noted in nominating Cooper for the Wil Lewis Award. He wrote that Cooper believes “our companies and its directory products are stronger and more vibrant when ideas are shared that benefit all members. He has a strong desire to inform and share with his fellow publishers the methods that have worked well for him.” “I’ve known Brent for many years and this man has his ear to the ground and understands what’s truly happening in our industry,” ADP President and CEO Cindi Aldrich said in announcing the award. In addition to Cooper’s
lifetime achievement award and directory of the year honors, the Lowcountry Phone Directory won the following awards in this year’s ADP competition: – First place, Excellence in Marketing Industry Innovation; • First place, Excellence in Marketing Sales Support Collateral; • First place, Excellence in Marketing Direct Mail, Contest, Magazine, Newspaper, Outdoor or Event; • First place, Excellence in Directory Ad Effectiveness and Design; • Second place, Excellence in Cover Design and Art Print; • Second place, Excellence in Cover Design and Product Branding; • Third place, Excellence in Marketing Advertisers Website.

In 2001, Jonathan was also chosen by his fire academy classmates to receive the Order of the Maltese Cross award, which is given to the student who best exhibits the honor of the fire service. Burton Engineer/Paramedic Danielle VanDam was nominated by district firefighters as Firefighter of the Year for 2020. DanDanielle ielle, a former VanDam MMA fighter, recently graduated from the lengthy and rigorous National Registry paramedic course, and eagerly offers her knowledge and skills by providing extra medical training to the firefighters on her shift. In addition to her rou-
tine duties, she teaches community CPR, performs extra duty as the district’s assistant Infection Control Officer requiring many off-duty hours, and has helped streamline the district’s advanced emergency medical program. Her peers noted that in addition to exceeding in her professional duties, Mrs. VanDam is also a mother of two who is pursuing her masters degree in health sciences, and trainer in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, powerlifting, and bodybuilding. “Nominations and selections for these awards can be difficult,” Chief Rountree said. “But I believe Lieutenant Calcorzi and Engineer VanDam best represent the character and commitment of all of our personnel and why we are successful in providing the efficient and professional services that our citizens deserve, especially in meeting the challenge of providing emergency services during the pandemic. I’m proud of them both.”

The spokesmen made it clear they’re not fans of UNDERGROUND WIRING but noted it’s already been done as part of the Boundary Street redevelopment project, where it cost approximately $3 million for one mile of work. The fund was also used for the Greenlawn redevelopment project which was an extension of the Boundary Street plan. A third project, along Allison Road, is already “in the

Turtle
from page A1 volunteers. For one, you need a boat and a captain. Some of the volunteers will kayak across Skull Inlet from Fripp Island. Barring dangerous weather and sea conditions, two to four people will go out every day for six months, rotating among their 16 core members. Two: All tools required to protect, mark, and relocate nests must be boated to, stored on, and lugged down the islands. All bags of trash collected must go along for the ride back. Three: You’re on nature’s schedule when working at the whim of the tides. The timing of sunlight hours in combination with the tide must be impeccable, or else risk getting your boat stranded on the beach. Sometimes this happens anyway. Also, Little Capers, the furthest island of the two from civilization, has two inlets dividing its beach that are impassable outside of low tide. For all three reasons above, it’s difficult to arrive at dawn like most sea turtle teams along the eastern seaboard and the Gulf Coast. This means that the team rarely encounters the night-nesting mothers whose nests they toil to protect. And the sweltering mid-summer heat and humidity of the South plus scorching sand temperatures above 100 degrees? You got it. That doesn’t stop this group either. “I think it requires a little bit of masochism,” said Tami Conner, one of the Pritchard’s Island sea turtle volunteers. “You have to be OK with suffering a little to fulfill your commitment to what you believe is doing right by the environment and by the turtles.”

Abby Morris has been spearheading Pritchard Island's sea turtle conservation efforts since 2011. She doesn't plan on quitting. Photos by Tess Malijenovsky. Conner joined her turtle teammates, volunteer Sue Dressler and ringleaders Abby and Robert Morris, at the Station Creek boat launch for their pontoon pilgrimage. With smiles on their faces, Abby and Robert Morris made their ritual commute at high tide through the Lowcountry’s snaking estuaries to Pritchard’s Island, as they have for the last 10 years. Yelling across the droning engine and whipping wind, I asked the Morris’ why they do what they do. “Well, because we love it,” Abby Morris said, looking back at her husband Robert and laughing together. “There was a need,” Robert Morris said, “and Abby thought we could do it.” “I knew we could do it,” she
followed up. Abby Morris began organizing Pritchard’s sea turtle conservation and DNA sampling efforts in 2011, and later Little Capers Island’s, too. Or, as her husband Robert Morris puts it, “She filled the void when the university left.” Pritchard’s Island was donated to the University of South Carolina Beaufort in 1982 by an Atlanta businessman named Philip Rhodes. Rhodes had one condition, that the island’s pristine ecosystem be conserved and used only for research purposes. Today, many only recognize the island by the photos of its dilapidated research center half swallowed by the sea.

saving grace from development — now rests in the hands of Abby Morris and her dedicated team of citizen scientists. It helps that Abby Morris’ counterpart, Robert Morris, is a U.S. Coast Guard certified boat captain. Robert Morris grew up in Beaufort and spent many formative days at his family’s fish camp on Pritchard’s Island, the only active camp remaining. Robert Morris can even recall a time when the same eggs he now protects were occasionally used for baking — completely legal to do back in the day. The “conservationist in training,” as he’s sometimes jokingly called, is now quite the pro at finding, sometimes difficult to locate, egg chambers. It was one day strolling the beach that Abby Morris discovered a carnage of sea turtle eggs leftover from racoons, the island’s biggest predator, and decided to re-start Pritchard Island’s sea turtle conservation efforts. She persuaded SCDNR to give her a permit to be a part of the state’s loggerhead DNA sampling effort. For Abby, some data was better than none. Thanks to this data, scientists and volunteers alike are able to track individu-
al mothers who return or visit new beaches in their natal nesting region, such as “Mama Pritchard,” the island’s most reliable nesting mother. They can also track emerging patterns and trends across states, like that the number of sea turtle nests along Beaufort County’s beaches are increasing. This trend of increasing nests coincides with the introduction of federal regulation in the 90s requiring the use of turtle exclusion devices on commercial fishing nets, and the fact that it takes sea turtles 20 to 30 years to mature reproductively. “Turtles that were hatched 30 years ago are now coming back to our beach in greater numbers in large part due to the fact that shrimpers now have a cleaner catch because they’re using turtle excluder devices,” said Jan Grimsley, who helps spearhead nearby Harbor Island’s sea turtle conservation team. “It is due to the efforts of volunteers who protect these nests and to pioneers, like Sally Murphy, who lobbied for the use of turtle excluder devices.” But this isn’t the only trend Abby Morris noticed. “Because of higher tides and bigger storms and all that, we’re losing nests to weather. When we first start-
ed out here, we didn’t do any relocation.” She points to a sand bank bordered by an elevated maritime forest as far as the eye can see. Even to the non-turtler, it’s clearly the end of the road for any sea turtle. “Any of them that nest through here,” she said, “we’ll have to relocate them, and that makes for a real challenge. The high tides and King tides go all the way to the bank.” These graceful sea swimmers only come on land for one reason: to nest three to six times in one season, often without food, every two to three years. Their vision is blurry, and their organs compress out of the water. It’s a long haul to crawl high enough on the beach where nests will be safe from sweeping high tides or saltwater intrusion, which rots the eggs. “You get some turtles and it’s like they bump one thing, and they back up and bump another one. They start digging a hole and then they hit roots. I mean sometimes it’s like, ‘Oh my god, I’m exhausted just looking at what it would be like to drag yourself through all this,’” Abby Morris said. Relocating nests from these areas is a meticulous, time-consuming task for volunteers who have to do it in a timely and precise fashion. Sometimes when there’s eight nests and a tide to catch. Sometimes when it feels like it’s 100 degrees. “When I think of the sacrifices and the hard work of being a mother sea turtle, it makes our sacrifices to hep them feel worth it,” Tami Conner said. “It comes out of that love.” Tess Malijenovsky is a journalist, columnist and photographer based in Beaufort, S.C.

From staff reports The South Carolina Department of Education has designated the Beaufort County School District a Military Purple Star School District in recognition of its dedicated programming and resources in support of military families. A ceremony was held Thursday, May 27 at the District Office. “South Carolina is proud to be known as a military-friendly state, serving over 16,000 military-connected students and their families,” State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said in a release. “We commend the Beaufort County School District for going above and beyond by putting in place a support system for its military parents and students, and congratulate them on being designated as a Purple Star school district.” Military Purple Star School District must: • Assign a designated liaison to be a single point of contact for military families and military-connect-
ed students who is trained to support issues that face military families, including relocation, deployment, loss and academic training; • Create a website specifically for military families to provide current information about schools and the district; • Adhere to the Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission (MIC3) to ensure that students receive transfer credit from previous schools so they will not have to retake classes; • Ensure that transfer students can participate in sports, clubs, and other school enrichment programs; and • Provide specialized training for school counselors, staff, and administrators. Tremekia Priester, Ed.D, from the South Carolina Department of Education’s Office of Student Intervention Services, presented the Purple Star designation to Superintendent Frank Rodri-
guez. Additional ceremony participants included military family representation, various district, government, and military officials, as well as all JROTC units and the Battery Creek High School band. Beaufort County School District currently serves approximately 1,500 children from active-duty military families stationed at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, and Naval Hospital Beaufort. “It is our goal to support military children by removing barriers that could inhibit their success academically, socially, or emotionally,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said. “I am grateful to our military families who have entrusted Beaufort County schools with their children's education, and I extend a heartfelt welcome to those who are new to our area. These individuals are serving our country, and we value the opportunity to serve their families.”

Skin conditions that more prominently affect people with dark skin
People of color may be more prone to certain conditions that affect the skin. These conditions can include postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, pseudofolliculitis, and melasma, among others.
This article discusses skin conditions that are more common in people with dark skin. It also explores some of the less common conditions, alongside their symptoms.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) refers to the temporary pigmentation of the skin that develops as a result of previous inflammation or injury. The condition presents as darkened patches of skin located at the site of the initial injury. The color of the skin patches can range from light brown to black. Although it can affect anyone, it more commonly affects people with dark skin. PIH occurs as an increased reactivity of melanocytes within the skin. This leads to an overproduction of the pigment called melanin. A number of conditions can trigger the increased activity of melanocytes that leads to PIH. These conditions include: acne; atopic
dermatitis, or eczema; psoriasis; reactions to certain medications; infections; allergic reactions; burns; physical injuries; pseudofolliculitis. Although the condition can resolve without treatment, it may take months or years. According to one 2020 article (https://www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/ NBK539693/), healthcare professionals commonly prescribe hydroquinone to treat PIH.
Pseudofolliculitis
Some people may refer to this as razor bumps. Although it can affect anyone, it appears to be more prevalent among males of African ancestry and people with curly hair. When a person shaves, the ends of their hairs become sharp, and the hairs can curve back into the skin, leading to inflammation. Pseudofolliculitis can appear similar to a painful rash or acne. It can also lead to PIH. The American Osteopathic College of Dermatology notes that once the hairs reach a certain length, they will not grow in toward the skin. A person should avoid shaving for 3–4 weeks and apply mild prescription cortisone cream. When they are able to resume shaving, it may be beneficial for them to shave every other day and use an electric razor to do so. They should then use a lubricating shaving gel. It is also important to shave in the
direction of the follicle and avoid stretching the skin, if possible. A healthcare professional may recommend topical or oral antibiotics to help reduce inflammation.
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin condition that presents as brown-gray patches of skin on and around the cheeks, lips, chin, nose, and forehead. It can also appear on the forearms or neck, though this is less common. Melasma develops when skin cells become overactive and produce too much pigment in certain areas of the body. This can result from a change in hormones, such as during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills. It can also occur due to prolonged exposure to the sun. People with dark skin are more likely to develop melasma. This is because people with skin of color have more active melanocytes, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). This condition more commonly affects females and typically appears between the ages of 20 and 40 years. The AAD notes that only 10% of those who develop melasma are male. Melasma can appear similar to several other skin conditions. For this reason, a healthcare professional may perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Melasma is treatable, but it is not currently curable. First-line treatment is typi-

cally a topical hydroquinone cream or gel. Although these are available as over-thecounter medications, most people may need to use prescription-strength hydroquinone. The AAD notes that the symptoms of melasma tend to fade on their own. However, some people can have melasma for decades or their entire life. Even if the melasma does fade, a person may need to continue treating their skin. The condition can reappear if a person has prolonged exposure to sunlight. An important element of melasma treatment is to avoid direct sun exposure. Some research suggests that this step is key in improving symptoms and preventing future recurrences. If a person notices further darkening of the patches or develops skin irritation or allergies to their prescribed treatment, they should contact their doctor.
Acne keloidalis nuchae
Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a long-term inflammatory condition that leads to inflamed plaques and papules on the head or neck. Symptoms of AKN include: small, firm papules on the lower end of the scalp or neck; occasional pustules, or bumps containing pus, on the scalp or neck; mild burning or itching around the affected site; small lesions or bumps on the crown of the head. This condition develops when the hairs on the back of the head or near the neck begin to grow into the skin, causing inflammation and scar tissue. AKN affects about 0.45% to 9% of people around the world, most of
whom have dark skin and curly hair. Experts have two theories about the cause of AKN: injury to the skin or an irregular immune reaction. AKN requires long-term treatment and management to reduce the symptoms.
Dermatosis papulosa nigra
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a benign skin growth that appears as skin colored or hyperpigmented papules on the neck and face. These papules can also occur on the neck, back, and upper chest, though this is less common. The growths are smooth, raised, and approximately 1–5 millimeters wide. They most commonly affect people of African or Asian descent and typically appear during adolescence. As a person ages, the papules may increase in number and size. Treatment is not medically necessary. However, a person can seek to have them removed for cosmetic reasons if they choose to. It is important to note that the affected area of skin may change color following treatment.
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin pigmentation condition that appears as white or lighter patches on the skin. These patches may appear as individual or combined patches on one or more parts of the body. Although vitiligo can affect anyone, it may be more noticeable in those with dark skin. The exact cause of vitiligo remains unknown. Some research notes that it may be a type of autoimmune condition, wherein the body’s own immune cells destroy the me-
lanocytes. Since melanocytes are responsible for skin pigmentation, their destruction leads to white patches or decolorization of the skin. The symptoms of vitiligo tend to be surface level, leading to discoloration of various parts of the body. Some people also experience itching or pain at the affected sites. Some other symptoms include discoloration of eyebrows, eyelashes, scalp, and beard; whitening of the eyes and mouth; discoloration of the genitals. There does not appear to be a cure for vitiligo. However, if a person wants to, they can use cosmetics, makeup, and skin dyes to reduce the appearance of the condition. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that a person can apply a potent corticosteroid cream to the skin. About 45% of people regain some skin color with this method. However, results can take 4–6 months to appear.
Summary
Some skin conditions are more prevalent among people with dark skin. Although some of these skin conditions do not cause physical discomfort, others may lead to itching, pain, or burning sensations. A person should consult with their health professional. A Dermatologist can treat or manage most of these skin conditions with oral or topical medications. However, some cases may require additional intervention, such as laser treatment or surgery. Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/skin-conditionsin-black-skin

End-of-life planning and hospice
here are at least six things that we all can agree on about end-oflife planning: • First, none of us want to die in pain or discomfort. • Second, none of us want to die alone. • Third, none of us want to die in a sterile institution like a hospital or skilled nursing facility (that serves tasteless food) with tubes in every hole and vein in our body. • Fourth, none of us want to exhaust our loved ones (caregivers) physically, mentally, and financially trying to take care of us. • Fifth, none of us want to leave our family confused on what we want done during the last stage of our life and after we die. • Sixth, none of us want our family history and contributions to life lost when we die. • Seventh, none of us want to give up our primary care or specialty care doctors, who we know and trust. • Eighth, none of us want to worry about what will happen to our pets when we are gone. • Ninth, none of us want to have to pay for home health or major house keeper services if we can avoid it. • Tenth, none of us want to worry about the physical, mental, emotional,
LARRY DANDRIDGE
or spiritual care of our selves or our loved ones ----- who can suffer greatly trying to take care of us. • Eleventh, none of us want to not have the option for hospice inpatient care in a specially designed for patient and family facility. Hospice prevents these just mentioned eleven worries. Hospice provides pain control; volunteers and a multi-disciplined team of caregivers to ensure we do not die alone; and assurance that we can die at home. Hospice also provides care and respite care so that loved ones can continue their jobs, schooling, and other life activities and allows us to continue under the care of our trusted physician, who works in collaboration with the hospice medical director, nurses, and other medical team members. Hospice is paid for by either Medicare, Medicaid,
private insurance, other Government Programs like the VA, donations, and the hospice, so the need for any out-of-pocket spending on end-of-life health and major housekeeping care is all but eliminated. Hospice will, if you want, help you record either by taped interview or through a written history record, a summary of your life story. Hospice helps you find a new and loving family to adopt your pets. As a past hospice volunteer, founder, administrator, and CEO of a highly successful and beloved hospice in Missouri, I often give speeches to clubs, hospices, doctors, and other organizations about hospice.

The title of all the speeches I give on hospice is always the same, the Hospice program is great but some hospices are better suited than others to meet your needs. These three articles will try to answer questions about end-of-life planning, how to select the best hospice for you and your family, and the wonderful services that hospice can provide. What is hospice care? According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), considered the model for quality compassionate care for people facing a life-limiting illness, hospice provides expert medical care, pain management, emotional, and
... hospice provides expert medical care, pain management, emotional, and spiritual support, which is expressly tailored to patient’s needs and wishes.” Island News has asked me to write a series of three articles on hospice and what citizens should know about hospice. This is the first of those three articles. It is important to note in the beginning of this article that I am no longer an employee, contractor, or owner of any hospice and have not been for nine years.
careTALK© Summer is quickly approaching which means more time spent outdoors—sports, camp, exercise and more! The risk of heat illness increases dramatically in summer. Heat illness is a spectrum of disorders due to environmental exposure to heat. It includes minor conditions such as heat cramps, heat syncope or fainting from the heat, and heat exhaustion as well as the more severe condition known as heat stroke.
EDITOR’S NOTE
levels. Even the fittest and healthiest people need to watch out for signs of heat illness. • Sun exposure contributes to heat illness. More than just heat and humidity, the radiant effect of sun and heat absorbed into surfaces like blacktop and artificial turf can contribute to heat illness. TIPS TO STAY SAFE • Don't exercise during the heat of the day (10:00am 3:00pm). Early mornings or evenings are best. • Wear loose, light fitting, moisture wicking fabric to
spiritual support, which is expressly tailored to patient’s needs and wishes. Support is provided not only to the patient but also to the patient’s family and it focuses on caring, not curing. In most cases, care is provided in the patient’s home but it may also be provided in a freestanding hospice facility, hospitals, nursing homes and other long term care facilities. Read more about hospice at https://www.nhpco.org/wp-content/uploads/ NHPCO-Facts-Figures-2020edition.pdf . Hospice services are available to patients of any age, gender, religion, race, color, creed, sexual preference, and political affiliation who has a terminal illness, which will, in the opinion of the patient’s doctor, the hospice medical director, and the hospice Registered Nurse, result in the patient dying within six months, if the disease takes its normal course. How does hospice work? Hospice care is holistic care,
meaning the care is provided by a multi-disciplined team of end-of-life medical, spiritual, volunteer, and social services experts. The team consists of the patient’s own doctor, the hospice medical director or associate medical director, registered nurse, certified nursing assistant, chaplain, volunteer, and specialists like physical therapist, speech therapist, or occupational therapist. The care-team meets once a week or more often if needed to tailor the care to the patient’s and the family’s needs and wishes. Hospice care is palliative care, which is an Iinterdisciplinary medical approach aimed at optimizing quality of life and mitigating suffering.

Eagles’ playoff run ends in Lower State finals By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com All season long, the Beaufort High Eagles have shined in the face of adversity on their way to the Lower State final. But on Friday night in Summerville, the hole was just a little too deep. Ignited by a seven-run first inning, James Island put together a brilliant performance at the plate in a 14-3 run-rule victory over the Eagles to capture Game 3 and clinch a berth in the SCHSL 4A state championship series. With their backs against the wall two days earlier, Beaufort staved off elimination for the fourth time in a week with a 5-4 walk-off win at home Wednesday, sending the series to a decisive third game. James Davenport dug deep in another strong outing on the mound, and William Winburn’s third hit of the night plated the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to keep the Eagles’ wild postseason ride alive. But Beaufort ran out of steam in the finale. The Trojans got the offense rolling right away, as leadoff hitter Julius Reynolds crushed a 3-1 pitch over the left-field fence to jump out to a 1-0 lead. But James Island was just getting started. After a pair of walks by Hogan
Garner and Keillor Osbon, senior Chase Worrill blasted a shot to left that Beaufort’s Rush Riley nearly robbed, but the ball popped out of his glove and over the fence for a massive threerun homer to make it a 4-0 ballgame. Russell Patterson ripped a ground ball into left to score another, and Reynolds came back around with a ringing double to plate two more and cap off the seven-run frame. The Eagles knew they needed a quick response to claw their way back in the game, and Riley got the comeback bid started in the bottom of the first with a oneout single. Rhogue Wallace lined a 1-0 pitch into right field and advanced Riley to third before the senior crossed home on an error to put Beaufort High on the board. But James Island’s Owen French bounced back quickly on the mound, striking out Oliver Holmes to limit the damage to a single run. After a scoreless second inning in which Beaufort two runners left in scoring position, James Island added on in the top of the third with a Garner bases-loaded walk to restore the seven-run margin. As the game entered the bottom of the fifth, Beaufort High was desperately searching for a spark from the big bats. Wallace

But that hope was quickly extinguished, as James Island rattled off six runs in the top half of the sixth before Osbon closed it out on the mound to send his Trojans to the state championship series.
Wallace was sensational in his final game as an Eagle, going 2-for-3 with a home run and a pair of RBIs. Josh Denton, James Davenport, and Riley added a hit each. It was a tough way to end a spectacular year, but the Eagles (17-11) put together an inspirational run in a very challenging region. “These boys have been to-

Congaree, First Tee team up to let young golfers hone their skills
LowcoSports.com With the PGA Tour set to make its first stop in Ridgeland in June, golf fans around the world will soon learn much more about the Congaree Foundation’s mission to positively impact the lives of young people through the game of golf — but about 30 local children experienced that mission firsthand on Saturday. The Congaree Foundation, which will play host to the PGA Tour’s Palmetto Championship at Congaree from June 10-13, teamed up with First Tee of the Lowcountry over Memorial Day weekend to welcome young aspiring golfers to the newly-renovated Sergeant Jasper Golf Club for a clinic, one of the first

The First Tee aims to introduce youth to the game of golf and instill nine core values that go hand in hand with
the game — honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment — which dovetails nicely with the Congaree Foundation’s own mission. “People ask me what is the First Tee, is it a golf program?,” First Tee of the Lowcountry board member Joe Datillo said. “Not really. It’s not a golf program, it’s a youth development organization and what we’re focused on is teaching kids life lessons through golf.” The day kicked off at Ridgeland-Hardeeville High School, where professional from Congaree Golf Club provided instruction to the handful of young golfers, who then had the opportuni-
ty to tee it up and hone their course management skills on “The Sarge.” The course revitalization recently got a boost from PGA Tour star and Palmetto State native Lucas Glover, whose “Recharge The Sarge” campaign during the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing raised $7,300 — a total that was matched by Heritage champion Stewart Cink. Footage from the event will air during television coverage of the Palmetto Championship, which replaces the RBC Canadian Open on this season’s PGA Tour schedule and will provide further support for future programs like Saturday’s. “It’s been a long ride at Sergeant Jasper Golf Club,”
said Tom Craft, head pro at Congaree Golf Club and Sergeant Jasper Golf Club. “We’ve been working on this project for about three years now, and to finally see it all come to fruition today and have 60 to 70 people at the golf course that was just about closed two years has been really rewarding. It’s been a great sight to see.” And who knows, perhaps a future PGA Tour star will emerge from the small group who teed it up at The Sarge on Saturday and they can say it all started here. “They can be a little shy, but if you get them going they’ll swing it hard,” Craft said with a smile. “You’ve got to keep them reined in just a little bit.”
Koepka, Kisner latest commitments to play at Congaree
LowcoSports.com The field for the PGA Tour’s first stop in Ridgeland later this month has added a couple more big names with four-time major champion Brooks Koepka and Palmetto State native Kevin Kisner committing to play the Palmetto Championship at Congaree. Koepka and Kisner join an already strong top tier of players committed to the
A10
JUNE 3–9, 2021
event, which is set for June 10-13 at Congaree Golf Club, joining world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, 10th-ranked Tyrrell Hatton, and household names that include Englishmen Tommy Fleetwood and Ian Poulter, among others. Players have until 5 p.m. Friday to commit to the tournament. A full field list will be announced once the commitment deadline has passed.
Koepka, a four-time major champion, will make his first start since the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, where he finished runner-up to champion Phil Mickelson. The 31-year-old is an eighttime PGA TOUR winner, including his most recent title at the 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open. In 12 starts during the 2020-21 season, Koepka has four additional top-10 finishes to go
along with his victory and currently sits at No. 14 in the FedExCup standings. Adding to the list of players in the field with ties to South Carolina, Kisner will compete in his home state for the third time this season. Currently No. 48 in the Official World Golf Ranking, the Aiken native owns three PGA Tour titles and is in search of his first victory since the 2019 WGC-Dell
Technologies Match Play. In 17 starts this season, Kisner’s best finish is a runner-up at The RSM Classic in November, where he fell to Robert Streb in a playoff.

VOICES Editor’s Note: The opinions of our columnists in the Voices section are not necessarily the opinions of The Island News.
There’s no debate — Black love matters W hen a friend posted on Facebook that young Black men might need to be "reminded" of the value of Black women as potential life partners, my thoughts were more complex than the simple “I agree” I posted in response. I promised her I would elaborate but I wanted to find out first why she made the post. She replied that a friend’s announcement of his son’s engagement triggered a sense of dread that yet another young Black man was marrying outside his race. “When I got to the pictures of the couple, I was genuinely surprised, and the fiancée was a Black woman,” she said. “I recognized that it shocked me. … Almost every other post of a young guy in a couple situation was with a white woman.” Her reaction is well founded. Saying Black women face an uphill climb when
EDITOR’S NOTE

it comes to dating and marriage is an understatement. Just look at the numbers: The U.S. Census counts about 88 Black men for every 100 Black women. White women enjoy a more favorable ratio of 100 to 97 with white men. Blackdemographics.com reports only a third of all Black men are married, compared to 49 percent of the entire adult male population. Black men actually were more likely to be married than white men until the early 1960s. At that point the percentage of Black men who reported as “Never married” more than doubled.
High incarceration rates for Black men make it harder for Black women to find suitable partners of their own race. Governing.com did a study showing the only places where Black men substantially outnumbered Black women were areas that had prisons. Subtract from the Black male dating pool the portion who are LGBTQ – generally, 10 percent of the entire population is considered to fall under that category – and the sum of these factors leads one to think the common lament that all the “good” Black men are married, in jail or gay might not be so outrageous. Don’t forget to factor in lower rates of college attendance and fewer degrees earned, a higher likelihood
of working low-paying jobs, higher mortality rates, and the concentration of eligible Black men in larger urban areas. This is the diminished pool from which Black women have to choose. Never mind they are improving their own education and marketability: Black women in higher numbers and outnumber Black men in earning bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. With all that, 15 percent of Black men still will choose to marry a woman of another race. This has profound implications for the Black community in terms of social influence, wealth accumulation and generativity. It is no less devastating at the personal level. My friend said she worries “we will continue to have – generationally – women who do not have the opportunity to date and marry because Black men have walked away from them (a significant
minority) and other racial groups generally will not see them as suitable partners.” I asked whether she shared her concerns with her son. She said she had, ranking the awkwardness level of the conversation right behind the talk about birth control. Author Ta-Nehisi Coates considers a lot of this discussion as so much needless hand wringing. “For people who are really working at commitment, a relationship quickly ceases to be a political statement,” he writes in The Atlantic. “No committed person goes to bed with Black spouse or a white spouse. … They go to bed with an individual who (hopefully) has very specific idea(s) about their life that go beyond whether the revolution will be televised, or not.” I agree with him in my head, but it hurts my heart to think Black women are
out here giving the world so much of its culture and leading the push to save America from itself, only to have to struggle to save themselves from lives of childlessness or single parenthood and having to finance their lives on single incomes in a world built for two. Coates is right that love isn’t political, except sometimes, it is. There are reasons laws against miscegenation were written and enforced for so long. Even if we can choose more freely now who to love, that freedom has come at a cost that Black women are paying. Black women have been “ride or die” for Black men, and they deserve better than to be left on the side of the road. Terry E. Manning lives and works in Savannah, Ga.

Port Royal’s former way of life preserved in photos
I
t is Saturday, early, and I’m sitting in our small, gray-painted library. This morning, I’ve got my coffee and an English muffin that features butter catching “flavor craters.” I’ve also got a newspaper that says the Town of Port Royal is getting out of the seafood business. The Town Council’s 5-0 decision to suspend shrimp processing marks the end of a long connection with shrimp, crabs and the oysters that still inhabit local waters. It is a history that began with L.P Maggioni in 1870; and then Charlie Vecchio in 1924; and Sterling Harris in the 1930s. Council’s decision will not impact many local people. Almost everyone in Port Royal make their living at a hospital, or a Dollar Store, or at some other carpeted, air-conditioned space not connected to the Atlantic Ocean. When they wake, they pay no attention to the

sky, the water temperature or the price of diesel fuel. Their focus is getting their Subaru to Savannah, or to Bluffton where their office and their future are now located. My wife and I moved to Port Royal in 1980 when the population demographic was shrimpers, crabbers and retired gunnery sergeants. There were a few people who commuted to Savannah, bur most found work on wobbly, loose-planked docks that were crowded with shrimp boats and smaller bateaux stacked high with crab pots. But I don’t romanticize this work.
There was a photographer — Lewis Hine — who came through town in 1911. Born in New York state, graduated from NYU, Hine traveled through the South and the Northeast with a camera. He went into factories, canneries and textile mills posing as a Bible salesman. Once inside a mill he would find the children, often a young as 6 years old, and line them up in front of huge weaving machine. He would take their picture, get their names and ages, and would later publish those photographs in magazines, pamphlets or show them on lecture tours. When Hine got to the Maggioni Canning Company he found Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and 10-year-old Sophie. He took other photographs of other young shuckers that day, but the photo of Josie, Bertha and Sophie was the most
compelling and the one that is enlarged to poster size at most of Hine’s retrospective exhibits. The Maggioni Canning Company was located in the same general vicinity as the Fish Camp Restaurant — about 200 yards from where I’m now writing this piece — and came with a large building that housed many of the shuckers. The birth, life and demise of the shrimping industry has been beautifully memorialized by Woody Collins in “Where Have All The Shrimp Boats Gone.” Woody says shrimping began when Charlie Vecchio brought nine boats to Port Royal in 1924. His book includes a photo showing 150 women, standing at long white-painted, troughlike tables, heading shrimp in a large wooden shed that was located where the concrete terminal sits today. In the 1930s the Blue
Channel Corporation came to Beaufort in the person of Sterling Harris. Harris relocated from Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay to the crab-rich waters of Beaufort County, and with Walter Zachowski’s patent for preserving and pasteurizing crab meat, established a plant in Port Royal. The Port Royal crab picking factory employed hundreds to workers, mostly African American women, who removed 8 to 14 percent of the crab that can be eaten. This metal building — recently torn down — was also located on Battery Creek just north of the Fish Camp Restaurant. Blue Channel brought jobs and money into Port Royal’s economy when both were desperately needed. Port Royal had more than a century of oyster-shucking, crab-picking and shrimp-heading before those jobs went elsewhere. According to Collins there are a few
— perhaps 12 — shrimp boats left in Beaufort County. Some of which have huge freezers that can keep the catch onboard until the market is favorable. And there are folks who still pull crab pots in our gray-green waters; but now the entire crab is sent up I-95 to the Fulton Fish Market in New York City. The oyster-shuckers are also gone; most of these hard, water-related jobs now belong to people living in Japan or Korea. Port Royal’s relationship with the Atlantic is being re-imagined as I write these words, but thanks to Lewis Hine, Walker Evans and Woody Collins there are photographs of this place when its people looked to the sea for sustenance.

‘Enduring wall’ requirement for a successful democratic republic
T
he Enduring Wall. No, I am not talking about steel and concrete running along the southern border of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. That masquerades, more or less, as a wall, but it’s hardly enduring. Rather, I am referring to a concept, a principle, a harbinger of a democratic republic called E Pluribus Unum — out of many, one. It is the governmental principle of what has become known as the Separation of Church (i.e., all religions) and State (i.e., the government, Federal, State, Local and communal). For most of the past half century, America’s educational system has failed to educate our students about the history of the founding of our grand experiment with democracy and a “republic” form of government. When I was in high school, (sometime in the Pleistocene era), our core curriculum included the study of U.S. History, Civics and Government. Alas, no longer.
DAVID TAUB
Nonetheless, most folks today would agree that our “Founding Fathers” were men of religion. This is true. Most of the early immigrants into the British colonies of north America were fleeing tyrannical religious demands of European countries, encapsulated by the dictum, “Believe in or adhere to OUR religion, or suffer the consequences.” When options are few, decisions are easy, I often opine. Thus, early denizens came to the eastern shores of what would become the US of A, not because they did not have religious beliefs, but rather to ensure to themselves the right to practice whatever religion they wished — a freedom denied
them in Europe but which “The Colonies” offered them. The bedrock of our unique American culture and civilization is freedom of religion — that is, free to practice any religion (or none) that the early colonists believed in, without fear of punishment (except maybe from that religion’s “god”). It has been so since the 17th century up to the present. This important history is poorly understood by many well-meaning folks. But for this principle of freedom of religion to prevail into the future, it is critically important that our citizenry know and understand how this irreplaceable sovereignty came to be and what it actually means. Certain critical truths undergird our Founding Fathers’ belief in “God-given” human rights, of which religious freedom was central to the first of the 10 amendments to the Constitution, and rightly referred to as the Bill of Rights. “…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…”

Jefferson would famously write in the Declaration of Independence. Most of the colonies’ population, and certainly the Founding Fathers, were Protestants, of one sect or another. The Founding Fathers fervently believed that the cornerstone of the unalienable rights memorialized in the Constitution they were creating was the right to practice any religion one wished, without fear of retribution. Many of the early immigrants from Europe were fleeing serious punishments, sometimes involving death, if they did not practice only the State religion. The immigrants brought with them a strong commitment to “religious freedom.” This meant not making one religion (Protestant Christianity) the authorized creed of the Union, but rather that it was everyone’s God-given right to practice ANY religion, or none at all. The Founding Father were men of religious beliefs, but they felt strongly that they did
not wish to create a government of a particular religion. Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers believed that the First Amendment to the Constitution (1791) created a separation between the church from the state, even though these words were not written therein. Jefferson’s support for the separation evolved out of his dislike of the Federalist clergy of New England. Later, nativist Protestants supported the principle of separation in order to restrict Catholic participation in public affairs. These Protestants were later joined by liberal theologians and secularists, who hoped that such separation would limit Christianity and other distinct religions from dabbling in the affairs of governing. Eventually, a broad spectrum of Americans endorsed separation as necessary to achieve governmental balance. They feared ecclesiastical authority, particularly that of the Catholic Church, governed by an “infallible” Pope, who set down church
dogma from his faraway palace in the Papal State. The U.S. Supreme Court cemented the separation principle and the very words “separation of Church and State” into the law of the land by way of several critical decisions. America’s long dedication to religious freedom, memorialized in the First Amendment of the Constitution, and confirmed in judicial judgment, has constructed an “Enduring Wall” that segregates the practice of all religions (or none at all) from government. Most Americans would agree that this is the best balance between a secular government and a religious life, both requirements for a successful democratic republic that we cherish today. “Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers.” – Will Rogers.

Joined by God The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony Imagine Jesus as a guest at your wedding! At the start of his ministry, Jesus was invited to a wedding with his mother and disciples. It was there in the village of Cana that Jesus worked his first public miracle. At the wedding feast, the wine ran out, which would have been a great embarrassment for the couple and their families. Jesus discreetly told the servants to fill large jugs to the brim with water. After he prayed over the containers, the water became wine of the most excellent quality. (John 2:1-12) Jesus shows how important marriage is in God’s plan. God created us out of love, and he created us for love. Each of us will only be happy to the extent that we are making a sincere and total gift of ourselves in love. When God created Adam and Eve, our first parents, he joined them in a sacred union, calling them to lovingly care for one another and to bring forth new life. God intended for their faithful, unconditional love to be a visible sign in the world of his own love for us, freely given and without reserve. For Christians, marriage is a call to become saints together. Just as Jesus took ordinary water and made it into wine, he intended to take the seemingly “ordinary” married life and transform it into a supernatural calling. He expects husband and wife not only to care for one another in this life, but also to help each another become holy and reach heaven one day. They raise their children to be faithfilled disciples of Jesus. The home becomes like a miniature church, a community of love in which ordinary acts of caring and sacrifice become opportunities to give glory to God.
This gift is the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. For his followers, Jesus made marriage into a sacrament, a visible sign through which Jesus gives spiritual gifts. This means that, when two baptized Christians are married, he offers them special graces each day of their marriage. He gives them strength to be faithful to their vows, to love and forgive each other, to bear one another’s burdens, to be holy parents, and help each other become saints. Christian couples invite Jesus to their wedding, too! When Catholics celebrate weddings, we usually celebrate them in a religious ceremony in church, with a priest leading the bride and groom through an exchange of vows. As they promise faithful, indissoluble, and fruitful love through their vows, God joins the two as one flesh. They exchange rings, symbolizing their new spiritual union, broken only by death. The spouses begin a new journey of faith, walking together with Jesus towards heaven.
Jesus knew that such a high calling would need special graces. Like Adam and Eve, all of us have been damaged by sin. We each struggle with selfishness and imperfection in many areas of our lives. It is not easy for Christian spouses to love selflessly as Jesus loves, and it is not easy to raise Christian children to be filled with love for the Lord. Knowing the difficulty of marital life, Jesus gave us a special gift to help Christian spouses to live out their calling.
