Battery Creek coaching legend Day dies

By Mike McCombs “Dad always said, ‘If you’re going to do something, be the best you can,’” Ryan Day said Sunday. It’s unlikely anyone can argue Nathan Day didn’t live up to his own credo. Nathan Day, the longtime and highly successful Battery Creek High School wrestling coach, died Friday, Aug. 27, after a battle with COVID-19, leaving two communities in mourning – a third if you count the South Carolina wrestling community. He was 57, three days

shy of his 58th birthday. Ryan Day said his father became ill about three weeks ago before taking a turn for the worse just a few days ago. “The last three days were rough,” he said. Nathan Day had most recently been the head wrestling coach at Liberty High School in the Upstate since 2017. He was a Physical Education teacher and the Athletic Director at Liberty Middle School, as well. “It is with deep sadness that we inform you that we lost Coach

Nate Day this afternoon,” Liberty Middle School posted on its Facebook page. “We have lost a teacher, coach, friend, valued colleague, husband, father of two, and grandfather. Our grief and confusion at this time are little compared to what the Day family must be feeling. Our hearts and prayers go out to them.” Nathan Day is survived by his wife, Kim Day, his two adult children – daughter Morgan and son Ryan – two grandchildren and a brother and a sister.

Becoming a legend It was at Battery Creek where Nathan Day cemented his legacy as one of the state’s best wrestling coaches. He won six state championships at Battery Creek High School (1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2014, 2015) and coached Dolphins wrestlers to 30 individual state championships in his 16-year tenure at the school. “He was one of the best wrestling coaches in the state of South Caro-

School board needs to follow all of the law

he Murdaugh murders and the rampant spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant have dominated local news coverage over the past several months. Other stories that might normally garner attention have been squeezed off news pages, forced to take a back seat. The Charleston Post and Courier has answered with a concerted, investigative effort aimed primarily at governmental entities and their compliance with Sunshine Laws (aka the S.C. Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA). Our local news outlets’ coverage of government open meeting transgressions has waned over

time due to a variety of factors. Without the constant watchful eye of our news media, however, more and more government discussions are occurring behind closed doors unchecked. By law, many of these discussions should rightfully play

out for the public’s consumption. For this example, let’s talk about the issue du jour: how Beaufort County’s second largest employer — the school district — is communicating with the public regarding COVID-19. At the board’s August 17 meeting, the following motion passed 9-2: “I move to postpone voting on this motion (school district masking mandate) pending legal and public health advice.” As promised, the legal and public health advice was presented a few

Extra Mile Club receives $10,000 grant

From staff reports The Extra Mile Club of the Lowcountry (EMC) has received a $10,000 grant from the Truist Foundation to expand the organization’s Educational Equity Program. “Over 100 youth ages 6 to 12 living in Northern Beaufort County will benefit from the Truist Foundation grant,” EMC Executive Director Gaynelle J. Dantzler said in a release. “The EMC realizes educational equity starts with addressing the psychological toll of social isolation and understands social interaction is essential for child development, especially for at-risk youth.” The EMC’s Educational Equity Program is a re-imagined approach that will build on the organization’s pre-pandemic, evidence-based exercise program to meet additional social needs caused by the pandemic. “At Truist our purpose is to inspire and build better lives and

County narrowly moves forward with resilience overlay standards

BEAUFORT t’s been painful to watch the flooding and destruction Hurricane Ida has dumped on the Gulf communities down south, knowing that could happen here in the Lowcountry. Realizing there’s little we can do to stop hurricanes, two new ordinances proposed by the county’s Storm Water Task Force are designed to help minimize flooding caused by hurricanes and high tides. And as simple as that might sound – to protect property owners – passage of these ordinances, particularly one of them, demonstrates once again, things aren’t as simple as they seem. The County Council last week passed without opposition an ordinance to limit the amount of infill a builder can dump onto a low-lying lot for construction, activity that can disrupt the natural drainage patterns It’s the Coastal Resilience

LOLITA HUCKABY

Overlay, CRO, ordinance that’s causing heartburn for part of the community. The county’s real estate and development community put on a full-court press to delay passage of the CRO. Their concern is the requirement to notify potential buyers if property is in the FEMA-identified floodplain. They contend there are regulations already in place for the “buyer beware.” The ordinance received the first of three necessary votes last week before becoming the law and it was a close vote, 6-5. Council members Alice Howard, York Glover, Gerald Dawson, Paul Sommerville,

Larry McElynn voted in support of the ordinance; Members Brian Flewelling, Mark Lawson, Logan Cunningham, Stu Rodman, and Chris Hervochon opposed. Chairman Joe Passiment broke the tie. Port Royal and Beaufort city councils are waiting to see how their county elected counterparts handle the issue. Fingers crossed they don’t get distracted by any hurricanes. County takes action on some retirees’ benefits BEAUFORT – July 1 was the start of the new fiscal year for most local governments, and Beaufort County’s relatively new Administrator Eric Greenway is trying to tie up some loose ends. The County Council is moving forward on finalizing its Comprehensive Plan update, Envision Beaufort County, and last month got a look at the long-awaited

long-range facilities plan which surveyed 52 of the county’s 105 buildings for future needs. The Council also took action last week to deal with an issue that’s been “hanging fire” since 2015 when the Council voted to drop health benefits for county retirees because of the costs. Forty-five of those estimated 680 previously eligible retirees got their own lawyer and sued which resulted last year in the Council agreeing to pay them an approximate total of $700,000. This latest action agrees to pay employees who retired after May, 2016 a percentage based on their length of service and other factors. The individuals will be notified by letter and asked to accept the settlement. Pity the folks on North Street BEAUFORT – The quiet

residential community around North Street, in the center of Beaufort, not far from downtown Bay Street, seems to be catching the blunt, right now, of the area’s infrastructure growth demands. Earlier in the summer, neighbors in the area also known as the West End, appealed to City Council as Dominion Energy began moving forward with plans to replace power poles and transmission lines. The new project is designed to improve the delivery of service from the northern reaches of the county, across Whale Branch and then Battery Creek, through the city and across Beaufort River to the growing populations of Lady’s Island and beyond. Now the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority has announced a project to replace major water lines through the neighborhood, running down the middle of North Street, to improve

service to the city, Port Royal and Lady’s Island customers. The pipe line project will also close a stretch of the Spanish Moss Trail from North Street, across Battery Creek to Robert Smalls Parkway. Estimated schedule for the project is nine months, hurricanes notwithstanding.

In mid-August, DeVito settled on Labor Day Weekend for the make-up show. The town’s traditional July 4 fireworks display started an hour and a half late and was extremely abbreviated.

Firstly, the South Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases Tuesday related to mask mandates. The first case is between S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson and the City of Columbia. Wilson argued that the city’s mask requirement in schools violated the proviso in the state budget prohibiting the use of state funds to pay for or enforce a mask mandate. In the second case, the

a pandemic. The Charleston County School Board did the same a few weeks earlier. Their newspaper, The Post and Courier, had this to say: “… Worse, the board almost certainly violated another state law when it spent two hours locked behind closed doors debating policy (i.e. Proviso 1.108). Chairman Eric Mack said the board received LEGAL AND MEDICAL BRIEFINGS in the executive session – even though medical briefings are not among

the reasons state law allows boards to meet in private. …” Aside from the fact that the FOIA doesn’t permit public health discussions/advice behind closed doors, the public could have benefited from hearing the advice the board might potentially base their votes on regarding imposing universal masking within the school district. Our board of education prefaced its concerns with instituting a mask mandate with their desire to comply

with law in this matter, and justifiably so. But they quickly walked back their good intentions to uphold the law in their disregard for the FOIA, which is also law. According to board members’ and community members’ comments pre- and post-executive session, clearly more was discussed behind closed doors than legal advice, to include even a brief discussion of school uniforms. Medical advice related to school start times as well as

school uniforms have been discussed in open session in the past. There is a precedent for this. Why scuttle Covid-19 health advice and legal parameters behind closed doors now when the public desperately needs clarity on them? If board members could freely relay to the public counsel’s advice immediately following executive session, why couldn’t the public hear it directly from the attorney? We all expect and respect

our school board’s resolve to comply with law. The school board also gets high marks for hearing nearly 70 three-minute public comments at their last meeting. But the board must follow ALL laws, including the Sunshine Law.

Richland 2 School District and an Orangeburg public school parent sued S.C. Senate President Harvey Peeler, S.C. House Speaker Jay Lucas and S.C. Education Superintendent Molly Spearman over the constitutionality of the proviso. “Rest assured, we are not medical professionals, we are not politicians,” S.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Donald Beatty said. “And any decision that we may make will be based purely on the rule of law.” The state’s highest court could rule on either one or both of these cases at any time. Last week, disability rights groups and parents of children with disabilities, with the help of the ACLU, filed a

federal lawsuit challenging the proviso that bans school districts from imposing mask mandates in schools. The groups represent students whose disability, including underlying health conditions, makes them particularly susceptible to severe illness from COVID-19, and argue that the ban on mask mandates effectively excludes these students from public schools, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act. The lawsuit argues that the enforcement of this provision places all students, teachers, staff and their families at risk, but particularly targets children with disabilities that put them at higher risk for severe illness, lingering dis-

abilities, or even death due to COVID-19. “South Carolina’s prohibition on mask mandates requires school districts to defy their obligations under federal law and precludes them from following the official guidance from the CDC or SCDHEC. It is illegal, dangerous, and irresponsible,” ACLU of South Carolina Director of Legal Advocacy Allen Chaney said in a release. And then Monday, following through on a statement by President Joe Biden last week, the Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation into five states, including South Carolina, over the statewide restrictions of mask mandates. Also, last week, the S.C. Department of Education re-in-

stated mask requirements about all state-owned school buses.

according to a hospital spokesperson, there are no pediatric cases at BMH. The 44 COVID patients is down from of 52 on Sunday, the second pandemic high set by BMH in the last week. Statewide, on Tuesday, the S.C. DHEC reported 4,343 new cases and 37 new deaths. There is a two-day lag on those numbers. Friday’s total was 6,697, the third-highest total reported in the state since the pandemic began. There were 7,680 cases on Jan. 6 and 7,450 on Jan. 8. There were 145 new cases in Beaufort County reported on Tuesday.

Local & state numbers As of Tuesday morning, there were 44 COVID-19 patients at Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH). All but three were not vaccinated. Nine of those patients were in the ICU, six on ventilators. All of those patients were unvaccinated. “Every day I treat patients struggling to breathe with COVID pneumonia. My patients are getting younger and younger. The vaccine is proven to prevent this,” Emergency Room Medical Director Dr. Stephen Larson said on the hospital’s Facebook page. As of Tuesday afternoon,

Van Dam promoted to Burton Medical Training Officer

From staff reports Burton Fire District has promoted Engineer/Paramedic Danielle Van Dam to Lieutenant. She will assume the duties as the District’s medical training officer where she will be responsible for the medical training and certifications for 50 operational personnel.

Legend from page A1

lina,” former Beaufort High School wrestling coach Bill Damude said. “He had an uncanny knack for getting kids out to wrestle. And then getting them to perform at their peak. He got a lot out of his kids.” Day started coaching at Battery Creek during the 1987-1988 academic year after two seasons as an assistant coach at Summerville High School. He won his first state championship in his fourth season (1991) before winning titles the first three years (1994-1996) after the S.C. High School League changed to the duals format for the state championship. Then in 1998, Nathan Day did something unexpected. He walked away. This is where Nathan Day helped cement his legacy as a father. “Dad was sitting in the gym one day, and Morgan and I were running around on the mats of something,” Ryan Day said. “Coach Trap (assistant coach Camillo Trapuzzano) said, ‘Don’t miss the opportunity to watch your kids grow up.’ “He told me, ‘That’s the best advice I ever got.’” Nathan Day stayed involved at Battery Creek. But he wasn’t the wrestling coach. Instead he spent that time focused on his family – his wife Kim, Ryan and daughter Morgan.

Van Dam’s promotion came as a result of the retirement of Assistant Chief Brian Wagner. “Our citizens depend on us to provide the best medical services available to us,” Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree said in a release. “We all strongly feel that Lieutenant Van Dam is the right person

to take us into what appears to be a very c hal l e ng i ng future, and no doubt she is up to that Danielle challenge.” Van Dam In 2020, the Burton Fire District, who provides

both basic and advanced emergency medical services, responded to 1,713 medical emergencies and 112 motor vehicle collisions involving injuries. Since Van Dam’s hiring at the District in 2018, she has had a dynamic career which also matches her personal achievements.

Van Dam, a former MMA fighter, is a wife and mother of two young children. In 2020, she completed a 16-month Paramedic program while also promoting up to the rank of Engineer, becoming a CPR instructor, and assuming duties as an Infection Control Officer for the fire district, where she

helped lead and protect Burton firefighters during the pandemic. In 2020, she was selected by her peers as Burton’s Firefighter of the Year, is pursuing her Master’s Degree in Health Sciences, and is a trainer in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, powerlifting, and bodybuilding.

“I think most people know him as a coach,” Ryan Day said. “And he was, and a good one. But he always put us first – Mom, Morgan and I. He always did the best he could by his wrestlers and he did the same for us, even though he took time away from the things he loved.”

kind of guy Nate was. “He was a great coach but a much better friend.” While Ryan Day never wrestled for his father at Battery Creek – he went to Thomas Heyward Academy – he said his father was “a coach to me in a lot of other ways.” “Every weekend, if it was football season, he and I were out on a field doing drills,” Ryan Day said, “even if he was just retrieving balls.” The same went for every sport and for Morgan, as well. Basketball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, it didn’t matter, Nathan Day did what he could to help his kids excel.

Overall, Day’s six championships put Battery Creek fifth in S.C. history, tied with three other schools, and are fourth most in state history by one coach. His 475 coaching wins (475-122-2) place Day eighth all-time among S.C.-only head coaches.

worked to reach. “I was over at the house, hit 385 and said, ‘OK, let’s try 400 on the old bench,’” Ryan Day said. “And he was there spotting me when I did it. I almost didn’t make it, but I did. It was a really cool moment for me and for him, too.” Battery Creek faculty and staff were informed of Nathan Day’s death Friday afternoon. Friday evening, a statement was posted on the school’s Facebook page:

tling Hall of Fame, he coached countless individual and state champion teams, including 6 Dual Team State titles. “Nate will be missed but he will be missed for all the best reasons. Not because he didn’t have a good life, or he wasn’t successful or loved, but because our lives will be diminished without him in them. Keeping his beloved wife Kim, family, friends, and athletes in our prayers.” Nathan Day’s visitation and funeral service were held Tuesday afternoon at Dillard Funeral Home, then Hillside Memorial Park in Pickens. In lieu of flowers, the family asked for donations to the Coach Nathan Day Memorial Scholarship Fund (https://bit. ly/3kEfUPT). On the gofundme.com page, Ryan Day wrote, “Coach Nathan Day has always valued integrity, work ethic, and respect. These donations will fund an annual scholarship to be awarded to one senior South Carolina wrestler each year who exhibits these traits.” He said Nathan Day’s friends in the wrestling community around the state had committed to helping select the winning wrestler each year. Though there was clearly hope for more, the stated goal of the fundraiser was $1,000. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, donations had reached $19,535.

A big footprint Ryan Day said the effects of his father stepping away from coaching was huge when you realize the impact he had on hundreds of kids over his career. “We’d all be at home, and he’d just get up and leave the house,” Ryan Day said. “And then he’d come home after having gone to the store and buying tons of clothes. And he would ask my mom to pick out the best clothes for the kids on the team that just didn’t have any clothes.” Ryan Day recalls his father driving around on Christmas Eve, delivering presents to kids that weren’t going to have any. And he remembers the countless times his father made someone cry, including his mother, with a perfectly timed and thoughtful gift. “He knew what made people tick,” Ryan Day said. “He was good at it with wrestling. He was good at it with us, too.” “He had a big heart. All the wrestling coaches have Nate stories,” Damude said. They had a custodian at Battery Creek that would ride a bike to work, and something happened to his bike. Nathan spearheaded the drive to get him a new one. That was the

The return When Ryan Day reached the high school level, Nathan Day got back in the game. He spent two years as an assistant coach at Robert Smalls International Academy (2010-2012) before returning to Battery Creek as head coach. When Day returned to the Dolphins, it didn’t take him long to pick up where he left off, beating Liberty in 2014 and 2015 for two more state championships. In 2017 though, Day finally left Battery Creek after 30 years to be closer to family in the Upstate. He became the head coach at Liberty, where he took the Flames to the state championship final in 2018 before losing to Bamberg-Ehrhardt. Day had four more individual state champions at Liberty, bringing his total as a head coach to 34.

Simple ways to protect hearing

As people age, certain ailments or conditions are considered part of the territory. For example, athletes understand the need to start pulling back as they age, altering their training in an effort to ease the toll exercise can take on their bodies. Also, many seniors make sure to drink enough milk as they age to keep their bones strong. Another ailment or condition adults often expect as they age is a gradual loss of hearing. While hearing loss is widely considered a product of old age, young people— adults and children included—actually can take steps to protect their hearing long before they're considering retirement. And it's important young people do just that. According to the House Ear Institute (HEI), roughly 32.5 million people in the United States alone have a hearing loss, approximately 30 percent of which is a direct result of exposure to excessive noises. Thought it might seem early for young people to start protecting their hearing, it's never too early to do just that. The following means to protecting hearing can help bury the misconception that hearing loss is a fact of life when reaching older adulthood. • Take "quiet" breaks. Much like professionals who work at computers all day must take periodic breaks to give their eyes a break, it's ideal for everyone to take periodic "quiet" breaks to give ears

as effective as anything when it comes to protecting your ears. Foam, silicone or pre-molded earplugs are all effective at protecting the ears when in an extreme sound environment. Ear protection products should have a noise-reduction rating (NRR) of at least 9 dB. This should not be a problem, as most products have a minimum NRR of 22 dB. What’s more, technology has helped improve hearing protection products a great deal.

a rest as well. It's also important to note that ears can be safely exposed to 85 decibels (dB) for up to 8 hours per day. However, the maximum time of safe exposure to 100 dB is just 15 minutes. Though it might not seem much higher, the effects are enormous. When purchasing headphones or other audio products, be sure to research the maximum decibel level. • Don't purchase front row seats. Concertgoers no doubt love getting as close as possible to their favorite bands. However, doing so can prove very harmful to hearing, even

if it's only done every so often. When near on-stage monitors or amplifiers, position yourself a safe distance away from amplifiers and other speakers. Musicians can even take steps to protect their hearing by practicing below performance levels whenever possible.

speeds with the windows rolled down are all hazardous sound environments. A good rule of thumb is to avoid locales where you routinely need to raise your voice to be heard. If you must raise your voice, chances are you're hurting your ears the longer you are there.

• Stop going places where raised voices are the norm. Hazardous sound environments are all around us and should be avoided whenever possible. Loud music concerts, construction zones where loud power tools are used regularly and even vehicles traveling at high

• Protect your ears regularly. Ear protection might not be the coolest thing a person can do in terms of looks, but it's

• Don't be patient if you suspect hearing loss. Sudden changes in hearing or suspected hearing loss should immediately report their suspicions or concerns to an otolaryngologist (ENT). Even if it ends up being a passing problem, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Five signs of hearing loss

Approximately 30% of adults between the ages of 65 and 74 are affected by hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). However, since hearing loss is painless and slow to occur, many don’t realize they need

a hearing aid. In fact, only one out of five people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one. May is Better Hearing and Speech Month and is a great time to remind readers of the signs they should be on the lookout for when it comes to hearing loss and whether a hearing aid could be beneficial. Hearing Loss Signs: • Lack of hearing starts to interfere in in your normal way of life • Having trouble understanding people on the phone • Have a hard time following a conversation when two people are speaking at the same time • You misunderstand others when they are talking to you • Family and friends complain that you keep the TV and radio too loud

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms the NIDCD recommends making an appointment with an audiologist. It’s important to remember only a licensed professional can diagnose hearing loss. For more information on protecting your ears, visit the House Ear Institute Web site at www.hei.org

How to safely dispose of medication

It is essential to dispose of any unwanted medication safely to prevent other people or animals from taking them by mistake. Discarded drugs can harm people and the environment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has guidelines about how to properly dispose of medications, including pills, syringes, and inhalers. The best way to dispose of most medications is to bring them to an official drug take-back facility. These are businesses or locations registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to collect old medicines. People can find their nearest facility through the DEA’s website. People can flush certain dangerous drugs down the toilet to limit the risk of someone else using them or a pet consuming them. The FDA has a comprehensive list of these drugs. Below, find a go-to guide for disposing of different types of medications in the United States.

Why is proper disposal important?

Some drugs can be very dangerous, or even fatal, for people who are not meant to take them. Children and pets may be especially at risk of coming into contact with improperly stored or disposed of drugs. A person should dispose of any medication after its expiration date has passed. It is also important to dispose of medication that is: • unwanted • unused • damaged or contaminated in any way • unidentified It is essential to dispose of unwanted or expired medication immediately. This can help prevent people from taking it accidentally or misusing potentially dangerous

ing through the body and entering the waterways through human waste.

Putting medications in the trash

drugs. It is also worth keeping in mind that people and animals outside the home may be at risk if they find improperly disposed of medication in the trash.

• over-the-counter medicines • dietary supplements It is a good idea to remove all personal details, such as name and address labels, before dropping drugs off.

Unwanted or expired medication

Flushing medication

Follow any disposal instructions provided for prescription or over-the-counter medicines. If there are no specific instructions on the packaging, check whether one of the following options might work:

Using a drug take-back location

The best way to dispose of most types of unused medication is to take it to a DEA-registered drug collection location. There, trained handlers dispose of it safely. People can find their nearest drop-off location through an internet search or via the DEA’s website. Drop-off locations dispose of: • prescription medicines

A person needs to dispose of some drugs immediately, as they can cause harm to others. If no take-back facility is available and the medication is on the FDA’s flush list, flush these drugs down the toilet right away. The FDA recommends immediately flushing away diazepam rectal gel and methylphenidate transdermal system patches, as well as medications with the following words in their names: • benzhydrocodone • buprenorphine • fentanyl • hydrocodone • hydromorphone • meperidine • methadone • morphine • oxycodone • oxymorphone • sodium oxybate

• tapentadol Fentanyl patches, in particular, can harm anyone who has not received a prescription for them. Fentanyl patches provide powerful pain relief medication through the skin. A significant amount of the drug remains in a patch after use, so it could harm anyone who picks it up by accident. The patches come with instructions about how to flush used and surplus ones safely. The FDA believes that the potential risks of these medications, which can be fatal if improperly used, outweigh the potential impact of flushing them away on the environment. In a 2017 study, researchers looked at the effects of medications on the FDA’s flush list entering water supplies. The results showed all drugs on the list posed an insignificant risk for both the environment and human health when flushed. According to the FDA, a more considerable amount of drug waste enters water supplies due to medicines pass-

It is safe to dispose of most drugs in the trash if: • There are no drug takeback facilities locally. • The medication comes with no instructions about safe disposal • The medication is not on the flush list. When throwing away medication: • Take it out of its packaging. • Mix it with a substance that will deter children and animals, such as dirt, cat litter, or coffee grounds. • Take care not to crush any tablets or capsules. • Place the medicine in a sealed plastic bag or another sealed container and throw it away. • Recycle the empty bottle or other packaging, taking care to obscure or remove any personal information first.

Needles and syringes

Properly disposing of needles and syringes helps prevent others from getting cuts or punctures. People can dispose of needles and syringes at home by: • placing used ones into a sharps disposal container right away • keeping the container well out of the reach of children and animals • not overfilling a container • if traveling, carrying a travel-sized container • if traveling by plane, checking the Transportation Security Administration’s website for up-todate policies Once a sharps disposal container is three-quarters full, it is ready to be emptied. A person may be able to get rid of sharps containers: • by dropping them off at

collection sites, such as hospitals, doctors offices, and pharmacies • by dropping them off at waste collection points • using a mail-back program for FDA-approved containers Sometimes, a trained collector can come to a person’s house to take away the containers. Check with local trash removal services and healthcare facilities to find out what services are available and whether fees apply.

Inhaler products

Inhalers can be dangerous if they become punctured, are set on fire, or are thrown in an incinerator. Contact the local trash or recycling center to find out how best to dispose of inhalers and any aerosol products.

Summary

It is essential to dispose of unwanted medicines correctly. Children and pets may be especially at risk of consuming these drugs. Medications can be hazardous, and even fatal, if people misuse them or take them by accident. The best way to dispose of medication is to take it to a registered drop-off collection point or have a trained waste handler collect it from the house. If this is not possible, and the medication is on the FDA’s flush list, immediately dispose of it in the sink or toilet. For other medications, the next best option is to dispose of drugs in the trash, following the steps listed above. Keep used needles and syringes in sharps disposal containers, and take any that are three-quarters full to a collection site. If there is no site nearby, a mail-back program may be an option.

SCDNR, Riverbanks Zoo give gopher frogs a ‘Head Start’

By S.C. Department of Natural Resources The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) and Riverbanks Zoo are collaborating on a “Head Start” program to raise and release the state-endangered gopher frog on lands in the South Carolina Lowcountry, and that partnership resulted in the recent release of hundreds of frogs on public land in the Palmetto State. “Gopher frogs are excellent indicators of ecological health in the longleaf pine ecosystem,” SCDNR herpetologist Andrew Grosse said in a release. “They have a very complex life history and highly specialized habitat requirements. All of the pieces must be in place and functioning at a high level to support these fragile populations.” The collaboration between SCDNR and Riverbanks Zoo is part of a multi-state project for restoring wetlands and boosting gopher frog populations in South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama

and Georgia. “We are very excited to once again team up with our partners at SCDNR for our latest venture: head-starting the state-endangered gopher frog,” said Sean Foley, Riverbanks Zoo curator of herpetology. “We’ve been hoping to get to this point for years. To actually see it come to fruition is truly rewarding.” Sharp population declines earned the frogs a state-en-

Grosse said the partnership between SCDNR and Riverbanks Zoo is a natural one: the zoo is good at raising animals in captivity, and SCDNR is good at finding them. “It’s a matter of how we can best use our strengths for species conservation.” he said The “Head Start” part of the project results when a portion of a gopher frog egg mass is collected from a

dangered-species listing in South Carolina. Additionally, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will assess the range-wide status of gopher frogs in in the coming years to determine whether they should be listed under the federal Endangered Species Act. The multi-state project is a diligent effort to reverse population declines before the frogs need federal protection.

SCDNR to hold boat inspections on Labor Day weekend From staff reports Officers with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Law Enforcement Division will be holding a courtesy boat inspection from 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Sept. 4 at Battery Creek Landing in Beaufort. SCDNR officers will perform a quick, but thorough, inspection of boats to make sure they have the required

safety equipment and proper boat and motor registration for the watercraft before its owners launch. These inspections are completely voluntary and are not required before launching. Boaters who take advantage of the inspection and are found to not be in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections.

Instead, boaters will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat. SCDNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water. Information about the state's public boat ramps and landings, including maps and directions, can be found at https://bit.ly/2WBfBgB.

breeding wetland and transported back to Riverbanks Zoo. Once at the zoo, they are cared for by zoo staff for several months, until they “transform” into frogs. Those frogs are then released to the wild to grow and, hopefully, reproduce. Since the survival rate of eggs and tadpoles is extremely low, keeping them in captivity until they bypass this vulnerable life stage,

gives them an extra “head start” towards survival. Grosse said that populations of gopher frogs in South Carolina have declined to a point that just doing habitat restoration is not enough. “We needed to take action to give these populations a better chance at survival,” Grosse said, “and that means getting more frogs out onto the landscape.” The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has two “Head-Start” facilities that have raised and released several hundred frogs over the last few years to help boost two additional gopher frog populations in South Carolina. While the habitat restoration part of the project is the key to ensuring that gopher frogs can persist into the future in South Carolina, the hope is that all of these collaborators working together will now give this species the support it needs to become a permanent fixture in the South Carolina Lowcountry for years to come.

Lubkin comes up big as BA hangs on for wild win

By Eric Ellison Beaufort Academy earned a huge opening win on the road at St John’s Christian on Friday, outlasting the Cavaliers in a wild 42-33 shootout in Moncks Corner. The Eagles’ rushing attack lived up to the hype, as BA ran the ball 35 times for 219 yards with Devonte Green leading the charge with 143 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Braydon Dineen had a good day throwing the ball, con-

necting with Jaxen Porter on two passes for 45 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles’ defense made some big plays that helped propel BA to the win, including a career day from Ben Lubkin, who intercepted three passes and took two to the house for touchdowns. Dineen helped himself with an interception, as well, setting his offense up in the red zone to score, and Jackson Davis added a 45-yard scoop-and-score touchdown.

Davis also led the team with eight tackles, while Colton Collins and Dineen added six tackles each. After giving up a touchdown on the first drive of the game, BA rattled off 27 straight points that included two Green scores and two defensive scores. The Eagles were up 27-6 with 3:27 to go in the first half before giving up another score right before the end of the period to make it 27-13 at the break. The score

stayed that way until a 22-yard touchdown pass from Dineen to Porter put the Eagles up 3413 with around two minutes remaining in the third quarter. One thing the Eagles struggled with was breakdowns in coverage. BA gave up an 18-0 run that pulled the Cavs within 34-31 with about six minutes left in the game. A fumbled kickoff plagued the Eagles’ next series with terrible field position, and a botched thirddown snap went through the

back of the end zone for a safety to bring the Cavs within 34-33. All the momentum seemed to be in the home team’s corner, and it began to feel eerily similar to last year’s season-opening matchup, as the Eagles could not seem to catch a break in the final minutes and had let a huge lead slip away. After an Eagles turnover at around the 2:30 mark in the game, the overall sense for BA was not positive. St John’s

was in prime position to move down the field and score a game winner. Lubkin had other plans. His third pick of the game and his second pick-6 of the night put the Eagles up 40-33 before a 2-point conversion put the game out of reach. Beaufort Academy (1-0) makes the trek to Savannah on Friday night to take on another SCISA 1A school in Bethesda Academy. BA upset the Blazers last year 36-28 at Merritt Field.

BA grinds out tough road win LowcoSports.com Beaufort Academy volleyball picked up a huge road win at Cathedral Academy on Monday, beating the Generals in four sets. The Eagles were able to grind out a 25-22 win in the first set before faltering in a 25-12 loss to even the match at 1-1. BA bounced back for a hard-fought 25-23 win in the third set before closing it out with a 25-16 win in the fourth. Margaret Hiers and Claire Tumlin led the way for the Eagles, as Hiers finished with three aces, four assists, six kills, and 12 digs while Tumlin added three aces, five kills, 13 assists, and 12 digs. Grace Simmons was a force at the net with seven kills and seven blocks, and Mary Hanna Hiers put on a defensive show with 17 digs. BA (2-0) is back in action Thursday, hosting Holy Trinity.

JPII grinds out tough region win over HHCA From staff reports John Paul II’s girls tennis team pulled off an impressive region victory against Hilton Head Christian Academy on Thursday, winning 5-4 after battling for more than four hours. The bottom of the lineup came up big for the Golden Warriors, as Samantha Reilly won the day’s only three-set thriller at No. 4, while No. 5 Breanna Frank and No. 6 Alexa Eaddy sailed through in straight sets. JPII’s Bela Crespo also delivered a victory at No. 2, while HHCA got wins from No. 1 Caitlin Jackson and No. 3 Elizabeth Drozd. The Eagles took the first two doubles matches, though, hinging everything on the No. 3 doubles court, where Frank and Eaddy held on for an 8-5 win to seal the match. JPII (1-1, 1-0) travels to Hilton Head Prep for a region match Monday. HHCA (0-1) is back in action Sept. 7 against Heritage Academy.

Thomas Heyward leaves no doubt vs. Battery Creek

LowcoSports.com Thomas Heyward Academy took a big bite when the three-time defending SCISA 1A champions scheduled both Class 3A Battery Creek and Class 4A Bluffton for a pair of rare matchups between area public and private school programs. The Rebels chewed up the first of their public-school opponents, dominating every phase of the game Friday in a 44-3 romp at Battery Creek. James “Turbo” Townsend took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown to set the tone, and freshman quarterback Dietrich Shuford rushed for a touchdown and threw two TD passes to Cutter Williams to lead a surgical performance by THA’s offense.

After Townsend took the opening kick to the house, Shuford hit Williams over the middle for the first of two TD hookups. Eighth-grade phenom Tony O’Banner’s 30-yard touchdown run made it 22-0 early in the second quarter, and Shuford scored from 5 yards out to push it to 30-0. The Dolphins showed signs of life on offense when Will White launched a deep ball up the right sideline to Talon Lee, who took it inside the 10. Battery Creek made it to the 3, but the Rebels pushed them back on consecutive plays, leading to a field goal from Ivan Huerta to get the Dolphins on the board before halftime. The Rebels slammed the door in the third quarter, as Shuford hit a streaking Williams up the left

sideline for a long touchdown and Townsend took a jet sweep to the end zone to cap the scoring. Battery Creek’s offense was never able to get in a rhythm in its first game action after the Dolphins had their preseason scrimmages wiped out by two separate COVID-19 quarantines. But THA’s defense had a lot to do with that. Cameron VanGeison delivered a crushing hit early in the game, and Brandon Howard flew around the field as the leader of a relentless Rebel defense. The Rebels (1-0) will slide back to the SCISA ranks next week, hosting Dorchester Academy, before traveling to Bluffton for another chance to prove a point Sept. 10.

Beaufort High pancakes another Peach State opponent By Wes Kerr Coming into the 2021 season, it was clear that Beaufort High’s offense was on a high level. On Friday night, the defense showed it could dominate, too. Eamon Smalls and compa-

ny put together a remarkable performance on the road at Effingham County (Ga.), holding the Rebels to just three points on the night in a 24-3 victory. The Eagles got a jolt from the kicking unit to open the

scoring, as Joe Caparola drilled an impressive 47-yard field goal to put the visitors on the board. After a slow offensive start, Tyler Haley found his mojo in the second half, finding Zyrin Odom for an explosive 65-yard touchdown

pass to grab a 10-3 lead. It was all Eagles from then on, as Haley hooked up with the electric Kacy Fields for a 35-yard TD on a screen before Caleb Ulmer punched in a 4-yard run to cap off the night. Beaufort’s defense was

outstanding, holding the opposing offense out of the end zone for the second straight week. Beaufort (2-0) battles its third straight Georgia opponent in a home matchup with Benedictine on Friday.

Former Whale Branch star Dee Delaney lands roster spot with Bucs

By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com The pride of Gardens Corner is officially a member of the defending Super Bowl champions. After a spectacular 2021 preseason, former Whale Branch, The Citadel, and University of Miami standout defensive back Dee Delaney earned his spot Tuesday on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 53-man roster. In a heated battle for the final cornerback spot on the

A10

SEPTEMBER 2–8, 2021

team, Delaney proved his case all night long Saturday in the final tune-up game in Houston, picking off two passes including an interception late in the fourth quarter to preserve the win. The 26-year-old veteran earned the trust of Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians from the start of the preseason, and emerged as a reliable corner with the experience, motor, and drive that the Bucs were looking for. After impressing the

coaching staff in the August 14 opener, Delaney earned the highest snap count (79%) of any defensive player a week later. He made the most of the opportunity, ranking up five tackles against Tennessee before his brilliant performance on Saturday sealed his spot on the team. It will be his first appearance on an NFL roster since the 2019 season. An undrafted free agent after his college career finished at Miami, Delaney signed with the Jaguars

in 2018 and made his regular season debut in London in a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. He then bounced around with three other teams over the next two years, joining the Dolphins, Jets, and Washington before taking a break from football in 2020. But now, Delaney is back in the league eyeing a real shot at a Super Bowl ring. A star under Jerry Hatcher at Whale Branch, Delaney thrived on both sides of the ball, scoring 14 touchdowns

as a wide receiver in his senior season while picking off three passes en route to region player of the year honors. The four-sport Warrior phenom began his college career at The Citadel, snagging a Southern Conference-leading six interceptions during his 2016 All-American junior campaign. He then transferred to the University of Miami for his senior year, helping ignite a ferocious Hurricane defense for the eventual ACC Coastal Divi-

sion champions. Delaney joins fellow Lowco superstar Poona Ford on the sport’s biggest stage this fall. Ford just signed a lucrative two-year, $12 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks at defensive tackle. Delaney’s spot on the Buccaneer roster looks to be set in stone, but it’s worth noting that Tampa Bay will need to make additional roster moves in order to reactivate four players currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Christian anti-vaxxers take biggest gamble of all

few years back, more than a few, actually, I was talking with my friend Rebecca about rampant stubbornness. “I don’t get it,” I said. “I remember when people appreciated when you corrected them! Who wants to walk around sounding like a fool? And what kind of friend would let you go around being wrong?” Rebecca sighed. “Terry, my friend,” she said. “These are the days of the double-down. If you try to tell someone they are wrong, even if you have proof they are wrong, they just dig in deeper. … Some people will fight you to their last breath before they admit they are wrong.” That made little sense to me then, but look at where we are now. I could target supporters of the most recent former president. I won’t, though. Not directly. Every American has a right to choose and vote for the candidate

who comes closest to sharing their values. But the overlap between his supporters and the people who are fighting mask mandates, resisting getting COVID vaccines, and opposing others’ compliance is hard to ignore. More problematic for me as a believer is the overlap with people who call themselves Christians. I find little solidarity with these people who refuse to “render unto Caesar” when it comes to fighting the virus. What happened to loving thy neighbor as thyself? “God gave us lungs to breathe!” “He gave us freedom to use those lungs!” “We have God-given

If you try to tell someone they are wrong, even if you have proof they are wrong, they just dig in deeper…” It’s interesting what those good folks, in the days before “Christian” was even a term, were willing to do to protect their society from an airborne ailment that could be transmitted by coughs, sneezes and nasal fluids. Not now, though. Now many Christians parse every statement from Anthony Fauci or the Centers for Disease Control to find reasons to settle deeper into their own obstinacy. “He said this in March, but now he’s saying something different.” “They told us masks didn’t work, but now they are trying to make us wear them.” “I put my faith in God, not in man.” Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said just last week

that this faith is why many in his state and around the South are “less scared” of the coronavirus. It’s why they are more willing to ignore advice to mask up or get the vaccines. “When you believe in eternal life — when you believe that living on this earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don’t have to be so scared of things,” he told a small gathering of Republicans. He admitted God does advise us to take “necessary precautions.” How some reconcile this with taking animal medications is beyond my comprehension, but this is the solid rock upon which they stand. Until they get sick, that is. The emergency room is

where they are transformed, where they suddenly embrace the science they mocked and rejected. There, faced with the prospect of intubation, they cry out to be given a vaccine or anything else that will save them. Sometimes I think the beleaguered and vilified healthcare professionals who have given their all to save the rest of us would be well within their rights to turn away these unvaccinated. Thank goodness they don’t. If I double down on anything, it’ll be the hope that more Christians will see the light on vaccines before it’s too late. Before they stand at the pearly gates and risk hearing the fearful words, “I never knew you. Depart from me.”

lright, it was supposed to be “moderate,” my guidebook also promising a trail hiked by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Herman Melville. Importantly, a trail with an 800-foot elevation gain. But as I studied the large, plastic-shielded map at the trailhead a middle-aged, baseball cap-wearing man approached and said, “Where are you from?” “South Carolina,” I replied. “Where in South Carolina?” “Beaufort,” I replied not wanting to take my chances with “Port Royal.” “My first cousin is Jenny Sanford,” he said.

rights!” By God, by God, by God. God also gave us direction to protect ourselves from disease and to separate the sick from the healthy. In Leviticus 13 (not much ahead of those other verses many of you like to quote), it clearly states: “Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.” In this Biblical context, the “defiling disease” is leprosy, and Moses goes to great lengths to talk about what to look for, how to respond and what to do for those who are infected. The instructions are compassionate but firm. The tribe had to be preserved, even at the cost of the comforts and “rights” of the afflicted individuals.

flaws and frailties of the state where I was born. “Tell me about the trail. I’m 76 and my wife is 75. Can we make the ascent?” “Yes,” he said. “I think you can do the blue trail, the easier trail, rather than the steeper, harder red trail.” “Tell me more about the red,” I replied. Life is sometimes radically altered by small, seemingly trivial decisions, Tom (the on-site attendant) had questioned my masculinity, and so I decided on the direct, almost vertical route to “Devil’s Pulpit”. And so my wife and I began our attempt on Monu-

ment Mountain just outside Stockbridge, Mass. It got steep almost as soon as we departed the parking lot — so steep that I broke into a sweat that soaked the “Mobjack Music Festival” T-shirt that I had carefully selected for this hike earlier that morning. As we climbed I looked for the “highlights” promised in my Appalachian Mountain Club Guide ($12.95). “Soon a waterfall and cave will appear on the left. The falls are small and are most impressive during the spring runoff or in winter when they are transformed into a still life of ice.” “On the top of this white mountain the two (Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville) spoke about a great white whale. To a large degree it was Hawthorne’s influence and continued support that helped turn Moby Dick from a great sea story into a masterpiece of

mankind’s lonely journey in the borderland between good and evil.” But as the 800-foot-elevation-gaining hike maintained its vertical profile, I must admit I lost interest in the small waterfalls and in mankind’s lonely journey between good and evil. Mostly, it became five minutes of boulder-to-boulder climbing followed by 10 minutes of gasping, dizziness and occasional nausea. Fortunately I did not vomit, or turn back, although I definitely thought those outcomes were possible. Eventually Susan and I reached “Devil’s Pulpit after a “short scramble to the summit.” We spent an hour or so atop the mountain celebrating our small victory with a Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand, 2020) paired with a dozen Triple Ginger Snaps acquired at Trader Joe’s in Westport, Conn.

As we sat on the ancient quartzite outcropping sacred to the Mohican Nation, we could see Stockbridge, Lenox and Mt. Greylock in the distance. As we sat, sipped and contemplated the Taconic Range in New York state, we did not know that someone (still unknown) was smashing our driver-side window and taking Susan’s purse containing our credit cards, social security numbers, vaccination certificate, driver’s license and coupon for a free draft beer at Bright Ideas Brewpub in North Adams. As I poured a second round of wine we did not known about our forthcoming interview with the Great Barrington police officers, the calls to Visa or the fact that we would instantly go from tired euphoria to tired outrage when we saw the shattered window. And, yes, I know that most of our injury was humiliation; and that we were

victims of the random crime that afflicts most places in America — although I kept repeating to the officer, “But this is Massachusetts!” But what I resented most was the fact that this incident would dominate our memories of August in the Berkshires. This incident would crowd out the other hikes, short drives into Vermont, and our wonderful, wine-infused conversations in small New England pubs. But sometimes this is the way life works and the trick, I think, is not to feel guilty about what happened. Yes, Susan could have carried her purse; and I could have parked the car closer to the attendant, but she didn’t and I didn’t. Now it’s time to move on and get the window fixed.

Mother Nature is really not happy with us

or the longest time, power brokers on both sides of that infamous “isle” maintained that “climate change” was a hoax, and even if not, they claimed humans were not responsible. They were partly correct. It is Mother Nature that has caused climate change; Mother Nature IS climate. But us humans kicked Mother Nature in the behind. Now, we are paying a heavy and ominous price for our foolishness. You betcha, Buffalo Bob. July 2021, was the hottest month, worldwide, ever recorded, including record-breaking “hotspots” in southern California. The Summer of 2021 has brought upon the world raging, uncontrollable wild fires on every continent but Antarctica. Many areas of the world are becoming unlivable. Millions of new immigrants have already fled their homes, cities and livelihoods because of this cataclysmic devastation. Life on Spaceship Earth requires two things: food and water. We are quickly running out of water, which means we may soon run out of food. Continental USA is not immune from water scarcity; quite the opposite. The mighty Colorado River is

DAVID TAUB

indispensable to the social, economic and environmental life-blood of the American West. It runs for almost 1,500 miles, from the Rocky Mountains, snaking its way through several western states, and ending in Mexico. All along its torturous route, the Colorado supplies life-giving water to 40 million people, irrigates millions of acres of agricultural fields using 70 percent of its flow, and produces low-carbon hydroelectricity. Exacerbated by prolonged drought beginning in 2020, and extreme temperatures, climate change has reduced water levels in Lake Mead, the largest fresh water reservoir in the United States, to its lowest points since the Hoover Dam was built in the 1930s. For the first time in its history, Federal agencies in charge are shutting off flows from these “lakes of life” because there is not enough water to maintain the usual flow down the Colorado river’s arteries of subsistence. An initial reduction of 20

percent is planned (what is called Tier 1), although many experts believe this extraordinary move is just an omen of greater troubles ahead. Solving this mega-problem will require unprecedented cooperation between the Federal government, multiple state governments and all the share-holders. The tragic reality challenging the west is that detested rules, such as limiting some non-essential crops, is now unavoidable Most of the world’s populations doesn’t have sufficient potable water, and most children of the world go hungry. As a vengeful Mother Nature continues causing wholesale destruction and havoc, really unhappy folks will continue to depart the hellholes where they struggle to eke out a living. These hungry and very angry folks will start to pay unwelcome visits to places where they hope to make a new life. They may not be received with open arms by the folks already barely living in those places. Rather they will be unwelcomed by persons holding other kinds of “arms.” Catch my drift? The Middle East does not have sufficient water to meet the needs of its citizens. One of many reasons the Muslim states comprising the “Middle East” are failed states, is

that many are engaged in some type of warfare. Once thriving states of Lebanon, Libya, and Syria, are no more. What a shame; the Levant, an ancient landscape comprised of these states was the birthplace of the so-called “Neolithic Revolution,” the domestication of plants and animals. This was the beginning of humans’ transition from hunter/gatherers to sedentary farmers. And that, boys and girls, was the beginning of the overpopulation of Spaceship Earth, on which exponential increases in human overpopulation continue today at warp speed; eight billion souls and counting.

“Wake up, little Susie, wake up Wake up, little Susie, wake up We've both been sound asleep

Wake up little Susie and weep The movie's over, it's four o'clock And we're in trouble deep Wake up, little Susie”

We should have listened to the Everly Brothers back then. Today, there is no doubt that we are seriously “in trouble deep!” One of my political mantras is: “When all is said and done, a whole lot more gets said than done!” That is where we are today in trying to create an effective US “action plan, let alone a world-wide one, to appease Mother Nature. Lots of talk; little done or even planned. Failure to appease her anger carries existential risks. Attending to this menace will take unprecedented cooperation from every country in the world. That has never happened in human histo-

ry; can we expect a “first” miracle?” Human-induced climate change is real and remains the greatest threat to life on Spaceship Earth. Many experts believe that the “point of no return” has already been reached for regaining normalcy for certain climate systems. Like “little Susie,” we better wake up soon and do something miraculous to mitigate Mother Nature’s unhappiness with humankind. Her message is clear and unambiguous.

ne in five Americans will have a diagnosable mental illness within a given year, according to Mental Health America. One in five of your neighbors, loved ones, and community. You cannot tell by looking at us who we are. Stigma can keep us from openly sharing this part of ourselves. My name is Laura Kaponer and I am one in five. In 2015, I relocated here from New York after falling into a horrible mental illness episode. I found comfort starting fresh among people who didn't know this part of

me. I wanted to leave this part of me behind in N.Y. Quietly, I began attending NAMI Lowcountry Connections meetings. I was hoping to find solidarity in people like me and at the same time convince myself that I wasn’t really like “those people.” I bought into the stigma of

all the horrible things people with mental illnesses are. I was ashamed. All this denial and silence crippled my recovery. My behavior was reinforcing there was something inherently wrong with me and my peers. I would laugh at the jokes about mental illness coworkers made. It was important to blend in and separate myself from those with mental illnesses. In 2018, everything changed. After abruptly resigning from a toxic job, I attended my third annual NAMI S.C. Conference. Although I had always appreciated these events,

this time was different. Brave people shared stories of loved ones, as professionals, and as the one in five. I realized I needed to add my voice as well. The only way I was going to do this was with full transparency. I wanted to share my triumphs as well as my perceived failures. I knew there would be risks: employers may not hire me, relationships might end, and there may be judgments from my community. Yet, I had to do it. I had to show my peers we don’t need to hide in the shadows. There was nothing to be ashamed of.

It started slowly by opening up on social media. The positive response was overwhelming. This motivated me to contact every local publication expressing the importance of mental health advocacy and education. As expected, almost all of them ignored me. However, two publications enthusiastically supported me. They felt what I had to say was worth hearing. I was encouraged to branch out beyond my own recovery experiences to share those of others. It was my honor to write about substance use disorder, bipolar, eating disorders, service animals,

and dissociative identity disorder as well as other topics. NAMI has this principle of support: “We find strength in sharing experiences.” I always interpreted that as the strength we find in the commonality with our peers. Now I believe the scope is much larger than that. It gives the one in five a voice. I am Laura Kaponer and I am proud to be one in five. Laura Kaponer is a mental health advocate and blogger, as well as a volunteer with the local chapter of NAMI. You can find her on social media by searching #Laurakaponeris1in5.

Educator’s Workshop Program available to recruiters, educators

arine Corps Recruiting Command reinstated the Educator’s Workshop Program earlier this summer after more than a year of suspended visits due to COVID-19. The workshops were paused to ensure the safety of the recruits and educators. The return of the program will provide recruiters the opportunity to invite their local educators to attend a workshop to gain valuable insight into the Corps. The workshops have been a key ally for recruiters for many years as the program aims to demystify the Marine Corps to a diverse group of educators from around the country. “The workshops play an important role in the recruiting process because they go a long way in helping educate those influencers most directly connected to the student,” said Greg Gilliam, MCRC community engagement director and workshop program manager. “As each year passes, there are more and more people who have not served in the military and these workshops will at a minimum provide insight into the process of becoming a Marine.” The purpose is to establish an effective recruiting-support program that promotes increased educator and influencer awareness of the Marine Corps' enlisted and officer entry-level training process while positively affecting mission attainment through improved influencer advocacy and access to key influencers, according to MCRC Order 1156.1, Educator’s Workshop Program. Annually, 27 workshops are conducted throughout the recruiting command. Marine Corps Recruit Depots Parris Island and San Diego each host 12 workshops primarily focused on high school educators, civic leaders, and local influencers. MCRC Headquarters conducts three additional workshops aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., focusing on collegiate educators, coaches, band directors, and other key influencers. “Recruiting Stations are funded annually to execute an educator workshop hosted by their recruiting region or one of three workshops aboard Quantico,” said Gilliam. “Every year we connect with more than 1,500 educators. It’s very rewarding to see educators begin to better understand the Marine Corps, how the transformation takes place and the value it provides to their students.” "To let the students know or staff members know it is not [always] all about fighting battles, that we are molding young Marines to be better people as we put them back into society," said Master Sgt. Daniel Ayala, assistant recruiting instructor for Recruiting Station Albany, N.Y. Educators Workshops provide first-hand

knowledge on how the Marine Corps trains, educates and transforms young men and women into Marines. This program emphasizes the Marine Corps’ training practices, military job skills, service opportunities, military lifestyle, and available educational benefits Marines can receive upon completion of recruit training. "I learned that not only can you have a good career in the military, but if you come to the Marines, your exit is designed to ensure you are successful with the training you receive here," said Cheryl Brinson, principal of Suwannee River Ridge High School, a Florida private school. She attended a workshop at MCRD Parris Island in early August 2021. Brinson added how she was surprised at the information available to those serving in the Marines so she decided to put a presentation about her experience during her three-day workshop for students and their parents who are deciding on colleges and career options. While the schedules vary slightly for each workshop location, the periods of instruction and information are similar. Attendees can expect to arrive early in the morning the first day and experience the taste of recruit life from the initial long, quiet bus ride to aligning their feet on the revered yellow footprints leading to their initial meeting with the drill instructors. What follows is a crash course in receiving, Marine Corps history, weapons live-fire, educational programs, physical fitness, nu-

trition, job skills, and ultimately graduation from recruit training. In the end, educators were exposed to all four phases of recruit training, received the opportunity to speak with commanding officers and drill instructors, visit a Marine Corps air station, shoot an M16A4 service rifle, and have lunch with recruits. “Being able to see these young people and listen to what they are doing. You can help but be impressed,” said Cale Langston, school board member for District three, Wakulla County School Board in Crawfordville, Fla. “If there is one thing we have learned in our time here is you can come in a make a career out of the Marines, but if you choose to serve and leave you can learn a skill, take that to the civilian world and not only compete but excel.” Those attending workshops at Quantico see similar events, however, these are geared toward the development and molding of a Marine Officer. During those visits, participants will visit Officer Candidates School, The Basic, and the air facility. College educators and coaches see where officers are trained to lead Marines through the nine-month process. These workshops are intended for coaches, educators, music educators, administrators, and influencers. Recruiters' should coordinate with their recruiting station executive officer and marketing and communication noncommissioned officer to learn about the specific times and instructions for their command workshops.

In turn, recruiters should take information to educators while visiting schools; providing them the opportunity to apply. Once the applicant is accepted they will attend the workshop and return to their areas better equipped to inform students about opportunities to serve as a Marine. Many attendees take the tools learned and apply them to their sports teams and their lesson plans. “There are moments where I doubt that what I'm doing is right – that what I am doing may be costing us victories on the scoreboard, but the USMC leadership seminar reminded me there are bigger, more important victories than on the scoreboard,” said Jim Dietz, head volleyball coach for Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Ill., and 2018 attendee of the Coaches Workshop in Quantico. “We've also done classroom sessions to discuss leadership and accountability… to specifically discuss USMC leadership principles and how they can be applied to our team.” "As much as we are trying to teach them about the Marine Corps, they are teaching us a lot about what their students are looking for and what we can do better to support the students and future Marines," said Captain Sara Walker, RS New Jersey executive officer. Selection criteria for attendees are outlined in MCRC order 1156.1. Scheduled workshops dates and locations will be available on mcrc.marines.usmc.mil/workshops when the dates are available.

Military & Civilian Leadership – A guide for military, civil service, political, and industry leaders

ommitment to the team and a participatory form of leading that draws on every military member’s and employee’s knowledge and skills, at every level is leadership. Encouraging and quickly rewarding suggestions and complaints is leadership. Having an “open door” and “open mind” policy is leadership. Empowering troops, civil service employees, civilian employees, and support contractors with the training, tools, publications, responsibility, authority, and accountability to get the tough jobs done is leadership. Making troops and employees multi-process, multi-weapon, and multi-functional experts is good leadership. Practicing servant leadership is good leadership. Servant leaders set aside their egos and seek to place the needs of others first to accomplish the mission and improve the safety, security, happiness, readiness, competitiveness, opportunities, and growth of the organization and employees. Leaders know that “the bitterness of low quality remains long after the sweetness of low price.” Leaders allow talented military men and women and civilian employees long leashes for experimenting. Leaders find ways to satisfy the essential need of troops and civilians to be both part of a team and be recognized as individuals. Good leadership is guiding. Leadership is legendary. Leadership is foresight.

LARRY DANDRIDGE

Leadership is absorbent, abstinent, and, unfortunately, at times it is abominable. Leadership is balanced, basic, and too frequently backward and barbaric. Leadership has saved lives, killed, and stopped and started wars. Leadership has walked softly and carried a big stick, but it has also been loud and nonviolent. Saying what you do in clear and concise Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Plans, Process Maps, and Orders is leadership – and doing what you say (following the SOP) is leadership. Breaking down communication barriers between staffs, line units, support organizations, political parties, allies, and sister units is leadership. Leadership is acquiring knowledge and skill in the procurement, maintenance, transportation, distribution, and uninterrupted flow of supplies, facilities and personnel. Leadership is knowing who, what, when, where, how, and why. Leadership is listening to the voice of your customers. Leadership is coaching everyone to understand their job is a part of a process. Leadership knows, that people can observe a process, even those who are strangers

to the process, with fresh eyes and see things like waste, hazards, places to improve, that closely involved workers may not see. Leadership (especially for logisticians) is getting a black belt certification in Lean Six Sigma (L6S) techniques and other world class methods like: • DMAIC (The L6S problem solving methodology known as Defining-Measuring-Analyzing-Improving-Controlling); • Brain Storming and Affinity or Similarity diagramming (Team problem identification and solving by organizing a large number of ideas into their natural relationships); • Five-why (Asking deep probing questioning to find root causes and develop counter measures to mistake proof processes); • Process mapping (Identifying the flow and detailed steps of work processes); • Cause and Effect (fishbone) and Pareto diagramming (Identifying causes and effects of problems and categorizing those causes into manageable and logical groups and priorities); • Lean (Removing all waste of time and activity); • Process mapping (Detailed flow charting, particularly useful in the service industries, where work processes involve unseen steps); • Kaizen (Rapid improvement process);

• Reducing the eight types of waste (Waiting, overproduction, rework, motion, transportation, processing, inventory, and intellect); • Balancing and leveling workload (Same level of work over time and same amount of work for each employee); • Distance to customers and suppliers is evil; • A place for everything and everything in its place (standardization); • Five-Ss of layout design (Sorting out what is not needed, storing what is needed, shining/cleaning the area, standardizing the layout, and sustaining the effort); • SIPOC Mapping (Defining the boundaries of your process by identifying suppliers-inputs-process-outputs-customers); • Bench marking (Comparing your organization to other internal and external front-runner organizations and adopting those organizations good ideas); and • Striving for perfection by continuously improving every process and performance. Leadership is knowing that you can seldom wait

until you have all of the answers. Leadership is repeatedly doing simple things that demonstrate sincerity. Leadership is listening to the voice of your internal customers (troops and employees) and external customers (the folks who buy or benefit from your products and services). Honesty, enthusiasm, loyalty, courage, and wisdom is leadership. Taking care of your Marines, soldiers, sailors, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, employees, and their dependents is leadership. Being a good boss, comrade and friend, father or mother, son or daughter, sister or brother, and husband or wife is leadership. Being a trustworthy ally and predictable trade partner is leadership. Knowing that the profession of arms is much more than just a job is leadership. Leadership is being an unquestionable friend and protector of the environment. Leadership is basing decisions on facts. Leadership is promoting and rewarding continuous improvement and value. Leadership is being a champion of safety, fire prevention, and quality. Leadership is staying focused on internal customers, external customers, the

enemy, and competitors. Especially for logisticians, performing preventive maintenance, knowing what cellular techniques involve, being skilled in set-up reduction, and understanding rocksin-the river problem solving and inventory management is leadership. Ensuring that resupply is at worst “in-time,” and is at best “just in time” is leadership. Leadership is preventing harassment and a hostile work environment. Leadership is enthusiasm, optimism, helping, training, encouraging, understanding, motivating, disciplining, crying, laughing, standing firm, giving way, counseling, correcting, giving a second chance, and trying again and again. Leaders are tall, short, thin, heavy, male, female, black, brown, white, yellow, old, young, gay, transgender, and naturalized and un-naturalized. Leaders are from the city and from the farm. Leadership is working hard to close the gap between a soldier’s and civilian employee’s potential and their performance. Larry Dandridge is a retired Lt. Col. In the U.S. Army. He is a Vietnam War era wounded warrior, a combat and 100 percent disabled veteran, a former Infantryman, former Warrant Officer and pilot.
