in the vaccine clinic at the Port Royal Medical Pavilion at 1680 Ribaut Road. For the two weeks prior to Thanksgiving, the Beaufort Memorial Vaccine Clinic will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays. The expanded hours are intended to make vaccination more convenient for parents with newly eligible

school-age children, as well as for any adults/adolescents who have not yet been vaccinated. The clinic will be closed the week of Thanksgiving. Appointments are required and can be made by visiting www.BeaufortMemorial.org/vaxPR, by emailing vaccine@bmhsc.org or calling 843-522-7219.

“We know many parents are eager to have their younger children vaccinated,” said BMH President and CEO Russell Baxley, MHA. “We hope these schedule changes will make it more convenient for them to do so.” For more information visit www. beaufortmemorial.org/vaccine.

BEAUFORT ast week’s mid-term election returns held few surprises. The proposed local option sales tax went down with a thud, the proposal to change the method for getting a county treasurer and auditor sank, there were few surprises in the Port Royal elections where the incumbents easily won re-election. As projected, the voter turnout was low – 14 percent county wide, and even Port Royal voters, who had the option of electing two council members, turned out only at the 21 percent level. Well, … any thoughts? The county and municipalities, whose leaders pushed to get the LOST on this ballot, paid approximately $50,000 to a Charleston consulting firm, MRB Group, to help market the referendum. Since state election law won’t let local governments use tax dollars to SUPPORT a referendum vote, the money was to be used for providing information about the referendum question. The fact that it was announced less than a week before the election that some of the wording in the referendum question wasn’t correct, probably didn’t help its chances. That, and the fact that both the local Republican Party and Democratic Party went on record opposing the additional sales tax, also didn’t help. All that aside, one of the consistent comments made for opposing the additional sales tax was that voters “didn’t trust government” to do what they said they would do with the extra money. And that’s unfortunate. These same elected officials that many say they don’t trust are the same ones that are setting policy and approving plans for new roads, new developments, all aimed at bringing more people to this part of the Lowcountry. They, along with the tourism economic development folks have done their job well, letting this lovely part of the Lowcountry capitalize on those who want to move here and share the beauty. Those new residents are going to continue to come, make no mistake about it, and the game is going to continue on how to pay to pave their way.

Storm, King Tide bring high water to Beaufort

By Mike McCombs A strong storm off the coast over the weekend combined with a King tide led to miserable conditions on Friday and Saturday and abnormally high tides and flooding of low-lying areas on Sunday. Water breached the sea wall

in Beaufort’s Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, while The Sands beach and the boat landing parking lot in Port Royal were underwater. “It wasn’t like we got 2 inches in an hour,” Port Royal Town Manager Van Willis said. “So there was no flooding because of

a stormwater issue or a drainage issue. But it really did a number out at The Sands Beach and the parking lot was flooded. “The water was way up. Normally, The Sands will get covered up, but to have that water so far up in the parking lot was unusual.”

Like Port Royal, Beaufort saw little damage, but a lot of water. “There was some flooding,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. “One of our floodgates didn’t work properly, but no one’s home was flooded or

We were at 9.7-foot tide with the storm surges on top of that. “Overall, except for some flooding that we normally get, water over the top of the wall at (Henry C.) Chambers Park, … the flooding lasted a couple of hours and then went back. But we didn’t have any serious damage.” Hunting Island State Park, which often bares the brunt of storms like this, may be fortunate to have eluded any serious flooding. “As expected, we had inundation along the Marsh Boardwalk, Russ Point boat landing and low-lying trail sections,” Hunting Island State Park Manager Brandon Goff said. “Water receded with the falling tide, thankfully. Our campground experienced flooding of the low-lying areas with minimal impact to camping pads. Erosion on the beach was surprisingly minimal. The only lingering effects on the park would be the normal clean up after a wind/rain event. “The tides were incredible and we’re thankful to have weathered this event as well as we did.” Heavy winds, cold temperatures and heavy rain to cancel any chance of outdoor activities on Friday evening and all day Saturday.

Beaufort County announces redistricting schedule From staff reports Beaufort County Administrator Eric Greenway announced the redistricting timeline, criteria, and guidance at Monday’s County Council meeting. "It is our duty as a County staff to provide fair, legal, and well-thought-out districts that will ensure one person, one vote," said Greenway. “Appropriate boundaries will provide confidence to our citizens that the County Council represents people's diverse interests and needs.” Redistricting is the process of enacting new district boundaries. District lines are redrawn every 10 years following the completion of the Unit-

ed States census. Federal law stipulates that districts must have nearly equal populations and not discriminate based on race or ethnicity. Boundaries must also be as contiguous and compact as possible and keep communities of interest in their entirety. On Oct. 27, Frank Rainwater, Executive Director, and Victor Frontroth, from the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office briefed Council Members, staff and the public on the 2020 census data overlaid on the current County Council map. Those interested can watch that meeting at https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=EskyKLhphgc.

The speakers pointed out the population shifts south of the Broad River, what County staff will need to address during the redistricting process and all the rules and factors that will need to be followed. "This will be one of the toughest redistricting efforts I have been a part of in the last 20 years," Director of Mapping and Applications Dan Morgan said. "The growth of population in the south, the growing Hispanic community, and the requirements mandated by law will not leave much room for many options in how we draw the district boundaries." The County will also launch

a website with information and, eventually, the maps for public comment. A redistricting video posted to YouTube will provide a virtual option for all citizens unable to attend. Timeline Through Nov. 24 – Staff will analyze key data points, receive feedback from council members, and draw district maps. Nov. 24 – Maps will be posted for public review. Public Meetings: All public meetings will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 29 – Public Hearing for Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 location to be determined.

Nov. 30 – Public Hearing for Districts 5, 6, 7, 9 location to be determined. Dec. 1 – Public Hearing for Districts 8, 10, 11 at Hilton Head Island Recreation Center. Dec. 2-6 – Staff will take public comments and see if any adjustments to the boundaries will need to be made. Dec. 5 – The final two maps will be presented to the Executive Committee to decide which map to recommend for approval. Dec. 13 – First Reading at County Council meeting. Jan. 10 – Second Reading at County Council meeting. Jan. 24 – Third and Final

Reading at County Council meeting. Once the map has passed County Council, it will be submitted to the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office to review and then enact the new district maps. Residents can find their district at https://gis.beaufortcountysc.gov/voterregistration/. Select District Locator at the bottom of the screen, type in address, the map will zoom in and highlight the property. Click on County Council Districts.

Friends of Library book sale a success despite weather

From staff reports Neither wind nor rain, … thank heavens there was no snow! The Friends of the Beaufort Library's annual book sale went on this past weekend despite less than conducive weather conditions at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The majority of the 900 boxes of books found new homes by the end of Sunday's three-day sale. The books are donated to the Friends group for resale, with proceeds going to support library programs in the Beaufort, Lobeco and St. Helena public libraries. The Friends also operate a small used book sales space throughout the year inside the Scott Street library. Next up for the Friends, the annual Books Sandwiched In program, which begins in January.

Despite the miserable cold and rainy weather caused by an offshore storm, the annual Friends of the Beaufort Library Book Sale went off without a hitch with thousands of books for sale. Here, patrons browse through some of the gently used books Saturday afternoon. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Still waiting for Port Royal waterfront development to launch BLUFFTON – While NOB folks wait for the proposed sale of the Port of Port Royal property to Safe Harbor Marinas LLC to be finalized – reportedly sometime this month – they might consider another waterfront change happening south of the Broad River, at the luxurious Palmetto Bluff.

Palmetto Bluff’s new development owners, South Street Partners, also owners of Kiawah Island, purchased the Bluffton property this spring and are petitioning the town planning commission for a change to their development agreement to allow a drystack storage facility plus an expanded marina to accommodate 186 boat slips on the New River. There are petitions out there to oppose the marina, on grounds the expansion would damage the area’s fragile water environment and the May River Watershed.

pyramid was completed and plans were being made to blow up the existing bridge structure and haul it out to sea. Asking around, the government types indicated the idea of a fishing bridge, like along our Broad River Bridge, U.S. 17 in Georgetown or I-95 on the Santee, had been debated at one time during the planning process for Harbor Island but was decided to be too much of a maintenance issue for local government. Apparently the government types are telling The Island Packet the same thing for this U.S. 278 project,

which is sucking up all the transportation dollars in this part of the Lowcountry. Probably the same DOT planners who came up with the idea of cutting all the trees from the I-95 medians to protect drivers. Wonder if it will be the same planners to decide how to widen I-95 from the Georgia line?

HEALTH & WELLNESS Options & References for a Healthier Life

Microscopic denizens are living in your home: What are dust mites?

Dust mites are microscopic insect-like creatures that live in house dust and household items such as furniture and bedding. Dust mites feed on dead skin cells, fungi, yeasts and bacteria. Most households contain some species of dust mites, and they are present in approximately 84% of homes in the U.S. Dust mites thrive in warm, moist environments, ideally those with around 70% humidity, and typically live on items that dead skin cells collect on, such as bedding, furniture that contains fabric, curtains, carpets or rugs, mattresses, pillows, cloths, toys with fabric. Several environmental factors can trigger eczema, including live dust mites, their remains, and their droppings. Now that our weather is getting cooler homes are being closed up and the heat comes on, dust mites may present a larger problem.

Do dust mites cause eczema?

Dust mites do not attach to the skin or pierce it. Their droppings may trigger eczema, but only in people prone to eczema. Eczema is the name for a group of seven skin conditions that cause patches of skin to become itchy, discolored, and swollen. Some 31 million people living in the United States have eczema. Most people can reduce symptoms of eczema linked with dust mite exposure by following an eczema treatment plan and taking steps to reduce the number of dust mites and dust mite allergens in their homes and household items. People can have an allergic reaction to numerous mite allergens. Currently, researchers have identified 24 potential allergens associated with dust mites. Many people experience a reaction to dust mites when their skin comes into contact with a dust mite allergen. And, because they are so tiny, dust mites can also be inhaled. Many people inhale

DUST MITES

dust mite allergens, which can cause an immune response and inflammation or irritation in the nose, throat, or lungs. Skin barrier damage from dust mites’ allergens can reach lower levels of cells that can spark an immune cascade, resulting in inflammation that can trigger or worsen eczema symptoms in people prone to it. If dust mite allergens damage the skin barrier, it is also less capable of preventing exposure to other allergens. Other risks of dust mites: Many people who do not have eczema, or are not prone to it, have a house dust allergy and are allergic to dust mite allergens. Symptoms of dust mite allergies tend to occur year-round and worsen while sleeping because of exposure to allergens in bedding, pillows, and mattresses.

Common symptoms of a dust mite allergy include:

• nasal congestion, sneezing, sinus inflammation, and a postnasal drip • itchy skin • cough • unexplained exhaustion • trouble sleeping because of wheezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing The allergens in dust mites can also trigger other allergic conditions, such as: • allergic asthma • allergic rhinitis with only nose symptoms • allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with nose and eye symptoms • sinusitis • increased sensitivity to other allergens and irritants such as pollution, dry air, smoke, and pollen

Treatment

People with eczema can manage exposure to triggers such as dust mites, but they must still seek medical treatment for eczema and use other methods to help prevent it from worsening. There are many medical treatment options for eczema. Consult with your health practitioner, or a licensed

Dermatologist for information about over-the-counter or prescription relief medications.

Preventing dust mite allergies

•

While there is no way to completely get rid of dust mites, there are several strategies for reducing exposure to them. Tips for reducing dust mites include: • dusting household surfaces as often as possible with a wet mop or damp dusting cloth • vacuuming carpets and rugs several times each week • cleaning furniture, toys, and other household items weekly, paying particular attention to vacuuming the seams where dust mites tend to accumulate • washing bed linens at least twice each week and pillows and duvets every 4–6 weeks in water that is 140°F, and drying items using a tumbling, hot setting in a dryer • using an air purifier that contains a high-efficien-

on open shelves such as books inside a cupboard, and keeping toys in a closet or toy box putting non-washable toys in a plastic bag in the freezer for at least 24 hours, then brushing off potential dust mites reducing excess items in the home brushing pets frequently, ideally outdoors wearing rubber gloves and a face mask while cleaning if considering new or additional pets, looking into breeds or species that shed less fur and dander using acaricides short term, which are chemicals that can kill house dust mites cleaning vacuum filters frequently and using a low-dust exhaust vacuum cleaner using cotton bed linens

When to contact a doctor

People should talk with a doctor, or a doctor that specializes in skin care called a dermatologist, if they experience unexplained skin symp-

toms, such as: • itchiness • rash • inflammation • discoloration • oozing or weeping • crusting • redness • roughness • scaling People with skin conditions such as eczema should also speak with a doctor if their symptoms worsen or do not ease with treatment.

careTALK© Updated guidelines lower diabetes screening age to 35

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 34-million people have diabetes. The United States Preventive Services Task Force

recently updated recommendations to screen for diabetes and lowered the age to begin screening to 35 for those who have obesity or are overweight. “Screening early makes

sense. Diabetes is on the rise. Obesity is on the rise. We’re seeing diabetes is a much greater incidence in our youth, so it’s extremely important to diagnose early so we can improve these health

outcomes and prevent people from having the complications from diabetes,” said Mary Vouyiouklis Kellis, MD, of Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Vouyiouklis Kellis said diabetes starts to increase in incidence around age 35 and that’s part of the reason screening age was lowered to 35 from 40. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to blindness, may af-

fect kidney function, damage nerves and can cause erectile dysfunction. So, it’s best to diagnose and treat it sooner, than later. “Sometimes, if you catch it early, it’s very important because you can prevent these complications from getting worse or getting to a point where they’re irreversible,” she explained. “So, if it’s too late, we can do the best we can

to improve blood sugar but sometimes some of the damage, for example to nerves, can be irreversible. Diagnosing earlier will help us prevent that from happening.” Diabetes screening is done with a blood test. If you think you may be due for diabetes screening, talk to your medical provider.

Tackling stubborn skin discoloration associated with melasma

It’s been dubbed the “mask of pregnancy,” but melasma’s patchy brown, tan or blue-gray skin discoloration doesn’t just occur in expectant mothers. Fortunately, a variety of treatments can minimize this often-embarrassing condition, according to Jennifer Wong, PA-C, of Advanced Dermatology P.C. About 90% of people with melasma are women between the ages of 20 and 50, and this skin spotting—typically appearing on the nose, cheeks or jawline—is more common during the hormone-fueled months of pregnancy, says Wong, a physician assistant with comprehensive experience in medical and cosmetic dermatology for all ages. But sun exposure and genetics are also leading contributors to melasma, which the American Academy of Dermatology estimates affects about 6 million women in the United States. “Diagnosing melasma isn’t difficult, with a health care provider often able to pinpoint its presence just by looking at your skin,” Wong explains. “… The vast majority of melasma patches are harmless, though dismaying to live with.”

Treatment options

It may be encouraging to know that melasma can sometimes fade on its own,

whatever you do, don’t think you can scrub them off at home. This can actually worsen melasma by irritating the skin and leading to more pigment production.”

Prevention is key

given time and patience. But waiting it out might be a good approach, Wong notes, when the condition’s trigger has been identified and will soon end, such as pregnancy, oral contraceptive use or excessive time in the sun. If you wish to take a more aggressive treatment path, there are both at-home and in-office options available, Wong says. Melasma treatments can include: • Hydroquinone: This

medication, which is available in cream, lotion, gel or liquid forms, lightens the skin. Overthe-counter versions can be found, but your doctor can prescribe stronger concentrations if needed. • Corticosteroids and tretinoin: When added to hydroquinone, these medications can enhance skin-lightening effects. Some products are called a “triple cream” because

they include all three ingredients. • Other topical medications: Skin-lighteners such as azelaic acid or kojic acid work by encouraging cell turnover to rid the skin of unsightly marks and promoting healthy new skin cell development. • In-office procedures: Topical medications are usually the first line of treatment, but if they don’t

do the trick, your doctor can try in-office procedures such as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or dermabrasion. These treatments slough off the top layers of the skin, where melasma occurs. No matter what treatment you try, results likely won’t be instantaneous, Wong cautions. “It simply takes time for stubborn pigmented cells to turn over,” she says. “And

Unfortunately, melasma isn’t necessarily gone forever once skin patches lighten. Wong says the condition can easily return, requiring both vigilance and persistence to keep at bay. Prevention, then, is the watchword for melasma management. Wong recommends these prevention approaches: • Sunscreen use: Yes, everyone should use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when out in the sunshine. But this habit is even more important for those with melasma, for whom a main risk factor is sun exposure. • Hats: “A wide-brim hat can do wonders to keep the worst of the sun’s rays off your face,” Wong says. • Gentle skin care: Don’t use facial cleansers that sting, burn or irritate, since they can make melasma worse. By Jennifer M. Wong, PA-C Physician Assistant with Advanced Dermatology PC. Ms. Wong has comprehensive experience in medical and cosmetic dermatology for all ages.

Beaufort blasts South Florence in battle of top-10 teams

Beaufort’s Eamon Smalls (99) tackles a South Florence ball carrier hard enough to cause a fumble and allowing teammate Jamar Knight to move in for the recovery. The Beaufort defense toughed out the dismal weather conditions and held South Florence scoreless during the second and third quarters Friday, Nov. 11, helping the Eagles to win their first-round playoff game, 30-14.

LowcoSports.com The region crown got away, but the Beaufort High football team’s ultimate goal is still on the table, and the Eagles took their first step toward a state title run with an impressive 30-14 home win over South Florence on Friday in a matchup of top 10 teams. Tyler Haley and Zyrin Odom hooked up for a pair of first-half touchdown passes, Joe Caprarola booted three fields, and Beaufort’s dominant defense slowed down a dynamic Bruins attack to propel the Eagles into a second-round trip to North Augusta. Beaufort came up with a big play early when Colton Phares raced 52 yards for a touchdown on a fake punt to cap the Eagles’ first series. South Florence answered quickly, as Malik Terry broke a 42-yard run to set himself up for a 1-yard scoring plunge to tie it. Haley and Odom took over from there, as the duo connected for a 46-yard bomb and added a 15-yard scoring strike to break it open. Caprarola connected from 28 yards

Battery Creek season ends at Crestwood BatteryCreekAthletics.com The most unconventional football season in Battery Creek's history ended Friday night as the Dolphins lost to host Crestwood High School, 47-10, in the first round of the Class 3A Playoffs. Jeremiah Dilbert had a stellar performance to end his

career as he racked up 206 rushing yards on 24 carries and scored the Dolphins’ lone touchdown. The offense was held quiet after Dilbert's first quarter score, only racking up 15 offensive yards the remainder of the game. Jaden Daniels led the Dolphins defense, posting

a team-high eight tackles. Anthony Phelan recorded five tackles, four which were for a loss. Leroy Tyus added five and Kendall McMillon picked off the Crestwood quarterback for an interception. With the loss, Battery Creek ends the season 2-5.

LowcoSports.com In its first season playing 11-man football, Beaufort Academy earned a spot in the SCISA 2A playoffs. In Year 2, the Eagles are charting new territory, and they’re not done yet. Jaxen Porter had a monster game on the ground and racked up nine tackles, and Braydon Dineen, Devonte Green, and Cody Dalrymple had big nights on both sides of the ball to help the Eagles hold on at home for a 33-25 win over Florence Christian on Friday, sending BA into the state semifinals. Porter led a powerful ground game with 143 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries and piled up nine tackles in one of numerous

iron man efforts by the Eagles. Dineen was a steady 6-for-11 passing for 65 yards, rushed for 42 yards and a score on five carries, and added eight tackles and an interception on defense. Green added 61 yards on nine carries and made six tackles and recovered a fumble for a touchdown on the other side of the ball, and Dalrymple rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown on six carries and made six tackles. BA bolted out to a quick 19-0 lead, as Green scored on the ground and pounced on a bad punt snap for the first two scores, and Porter punched it in from 3 yards out for an early three-score margin. Florence Christian

answered with 19 straight points of its own to pull even early in the third quarter. Dalrymple’s touchdown run and a Porter two-point conversion put BA back on top 27-19, and when FCS answered, the Eagles stopped the two-point try to preserve the lead. Dineen took over from there, scampering in from 11 yards then sealing it with a pick inside the BA 20 in the final minute. BA (6-3) will travel to undefeated Williamsburg Academy for a semifinal matchup Friday with the winner facing Hilton Head Christian or Pee Dee Academy in the SCISA 2A title game Nov. 20 at Charleston Southern University.

Defense leads Whale Branch in first-round test LowcoSports.com With a meager crowd on hand on a blustery Friday night in Seabrook, Jerry Hatcher’s barking voice cut through the night as the veteran coach tried to coax his Whale Branch Warriors through a trying matchup with visiting East Clarendon to open the SCHSL Class 1A playoffs. But Hatcher’s frustration turned to smiles after the Warriors scored three touchdowns in the final four minutes to escape with a hard-fought 19-0 win. Survive and advance. The Wolverines had no intention of letting the Warriors waltz into the second round, and their defense did a terrific job of limiting the damage done by Whale Branch’s powerful run game and forcing the Warriors to the air on a night when passing was treacherous. East Clarendon picked off Kai’Shawn Jenkins twice, and while Joseph Hicks and Darrell Cummings found chunks of yardage, Whale Branch couldn’t keep East Clarendon’s defenders out of the backfield for much of the night. The Warriors’ defense was just as stingy, though, twice

After one of many key defensive stops from the Warriors forced a punt and gave Whale Branch a short field, Hicks took over, powering through

a high tackle and sprinting up the left sideline for a 35-yard touchdown to finally open the scoring with 3:57 left in the game. The Wolverines stalled on their next drive, and D’Ante Parker pounced on a fumble, and Hicks powered in from the 14 two plays later to give the Warriors some breathing room. East Clarendon made one

JPII can’t keep pace with Pee Dee in playoff exit

LowcoSports.com Pee Dee Academy blitzed to a big early lead Friday, and John Paul II’s injury-depleted offense couldn’t recover in a 48-16 road loss in the first round of the SCISA 2A playoffs. The Golden Warriors couldn’t slow down a power-

ful attack led by Coleby Sinclair, who rushed for three touchdowns, and Landyn Tyler, who added a pair of rushing scores and a touchdown catch. JPII was without quarterback Christian Tilton, who suffered a hand injury a week earlier at Beaufort Academy. The Golden Eagles came

out firing on offense, as Tyler broke a long touchdown run to open the scoring before Sinclair added a pair of touchdown runs. Then Tyler found himself on the receiving end of a Hudson Spivey touchdown pass to make it 28-0. The big deficit took the

Golden Warriors out of their game plan, but backup quarterback Caleb Snyder got JPII on the board with a 12yard touchdown pass to Tony Hill to cut it to 28-8 at halftime. Pee Dee kept pouring it on after the break, though, as Sinclair busted another long touchdown run, and Tyler

added his third touchdown of the night to put it out of reach. Jackson Ogden added a late touchdown run for the Golden Warriors and finished with 47 yards on five carries. Snyder was 10-for-21 for 79 yards and a touchdown and made 10 tackles with a sack and a tackle for loss on

defense. Mark Knight rushed three times for 77 yards and added a reception in his JPII finale, and Michael Carbone had a team-high 13 tackles. JPII finishes the season with a 3-6 record. Pee Dee (91) will travel to Hilton Head Christian Academy for a semifinal matchup Friday.

175 Years of Faith

Saint Peter’s Celebrates its Anniversary A former shipbuilder builds Beaufort’s first Catholic church. Michael O’Connor immigrated from Ireland in the early 1800s. Originally a shipbuilder, he gradually became one of Beaufort’s most successful businessmen. At this time, there was much prejudice both against the Irish and against Catholics, but Michael and his family lived in peace and friendship with their neighbors, helping many to consider both their nationality and their faith in a new light. At this time, there were very few Catholics in the Lowcountry. The Diocese of Charleston was formed in 1820, ministering to the Catholics of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. At first, there were only two churches, one in Charleston and one in Augusta, Georgia. Since there were only six priests to serve the entire region, from time to time a priest would journey from Charleston to minister to the Catholics here in the Lowcountry. Since there was not yet a church, the Mass was celebrated in the homes of the faithful.

Please join us this Sunday as we celebrate our anniversary! We will celebrate a special Mass this Sunday, November 14, at 11am at our main campus, followed by a small reception at noon. The reception will feature a talk by historian Dr. Larry Rowland, who will share what Beaufort was like in the time of Michael O’Connor and the founding of Saint Peter’s. At about 1pm we will begin walking in a Eucharistic procession to the historic church, with a brief stop for prayer around 2pm at the Waterfront Park. All are welcome to join us for any of these events! 11am Anniversary Mass at Saint Peter’s (Lady’s Island) Noon Reception and Historical Talk by Dr. Larry Rowland 1pm

Michael decided to build a beautiful church at his own expense. Drawing upon his skills as a builder and the financial blessings he received from God, Michael built a small Catholic church on Carteret Street. It is built in the Early Classical Revival style, with a simple beauty and abundant natural light. He presented the church as a gift to the diocese, deeded for the nominal price of three dollars, which today equates to roughly one hundred dollars. The church was dedicated by the bishop on November 14, 1846 as Saint Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. The parish has grown much over these last 175 years. The new church, with seating for a hundred, must have seemed enormous to the handful of Catholic families in Beaufort in 1846. As Beaufort grew, the parish gradually outgrew this original church. In 1987 Saint Peter’s moved to its current campus on Lady’s Island, which now features a Catholic school and a church that seats 800. The original church is still used for small events such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals, as well as Mass each Wednesday at noon.

Our beautiful historic church was built in the Early Classical Revival Style by Michael O’Connor in 1846.

Rodgers deserves a double-check to his chin

omebody call Time magazine and tell them they can save themselves the trouble. We have found the only person who can legitimately be loved as Man of the Year. His name is Aaron Rodgers and he quarterbacks the Green Bay Packers professional football team — when he isn’t being an amateur virologist, anyway. See, less than a week after I wrote my last column about teammates and the importance of paying attention to the people who are lining up beside you, Rodgers tested positive for the coronavirus and was placed under the NFL’s COVID protocols. The Packers announced he would miss last Sunday’s game and would remain ineligible to play again until this Sunday at the earliest. This triggered reporters who covered the league, because that was the process for players who were unvaccinated. But hadn’t Rodgers said he was protected? That depends. Yes, he had been asked in August about his status and answered that he was “immu-

TERRY MANNING

nized” against the virus, but what he called “immunized” amounted to having taken alternative treatments to avoid the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Supposedly each contains an ingredient he is allergic to, and he didn’t trust the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because of possible side effects, including diminished fertility, according to some reports. He asked the NFL to recognize his alternative treatments as meeting the standard for being considered vaccinated. The league refused. But Rodgers — with the Packers’ compliance, it must be said — skirted major portions of the league’s guidelines for unvaccinated players, including tough mandates for wearing masks, social distancing and testing.

He regularly appeared on sidelines and in press conferences with nothing covering his face. So what did Rodgers do when it became clear that the jig was up and it was time to face the music and answer for his deceptions? He played victim. See, he wasn’t the bad guy for lying and doing what served his own interests over the interests of the other 50-plus players on his team and the hundreds around the league who followed the COVID measures negotiated by the league and players association. No, the bad guys are the “woke mob” he said was trying to hold him accountable. “I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now,” he said in a radio interview on The Pat McAfee Show. “Before my final nail gets put in my cancel-culture casket, I think I’d like to set the record straight on some of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now.” Rodgers said he hadn’t lied in August when he said he was immunized, and that

he isn’t any kind of “sort of anti-vax, flat-earther.” “I am a critical thinker, … I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something. Health is not a one-size-fitsall for everybody,” Rodgers said. And that’s where, for me, he became the poster boy for how selfish and condescending the reaction to the pandemic has been for far too many people in this country. Why are people who took

the vaccines not critical thinkers? Do people who wear masks to protect themselves and to avoid spreading the virus to others not believe in body autonomy? How are people who have helped get us to the point where society could reopen and we can even attempt a return to normalcy the “crazed” ones? You lied, Aaron Rodgers! You lied, and you got others to go along with your lies. You placed your teammates at risk, and you risked the health and livelihoods of every player, coach and staff member for every team in the league. Not to mention

their friends and families. Rodgers and the team could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, for his deceptions. And now other teams are ticked off at the Packers and the league not making him follow the rules everyone else has struggled with. How dare he climb atop the pyre of victimhood, and then blame others for putting him there? How dare he insult the fans and teammates who took the vaccines that helped make this season even possible? All because he thinks he knows more than anyone else. He and crackpot podcaster friend Joe Rogan, who gave Rodgers an ivermectin-based regimen for recovering from his illness. Thanks to his absence, the Packers lost last week to a very beatable Kansas City Chiefs team, but Rodgers is a loser in ways that don’t show up on the scoreboard.

‘All things truly wicked start from innocence’

t is Saturday, and Susan and I are sitting in our home on 9th Street in Port Royal. This afternoon we’ve opened a bottle of Apothic Red and are sharing it with our friends, Ben Peeples and his wife, Joanne. For the past half hour we’ve been talking body armor — Ben takes transcontinental motorcycle rides and is keen on protecting his head, knees and hips if and when he falls. This would not be the first time he has worn armor. The first time was when he flew combat missions above Vietnam. Ben and I were “knobs” at The Citadel in 1963. After graduation he went to Vietnam, was shot down twice, and came home with a Purple Heart and several grains of Chinese ordinance in his knee. The Vietnam War defined our generation. You either fought like Ben; or demonstrated; or fell somewhere in

SCOTT GRABER

between. This war is going to be part of our generational narrative whether we like it or not. Vietnam was fought with the same helmets; the same 81 mm mortars; and the same 155 mm howitzers used in 1945. Yes, there were Huey gunships, but the war had been set in motion by the French and their determination to hang onto their Asian colony after World War II. In 1967, Ben and I graduated from The Citadel and were expected to do our service in the same way our fathers had done their duty in 1942. By 1967, several graduates had been killed

in action and there was the belief that the Chinese and Russian governments were involved. The presence of Soviet ships in Hanoi Harbor and the ubiquitous AK-47 seemed to be adequate proof. But neither Russia or China wanted to take us on in an open and obvious way that might morph into nuclear war. So there was an understanding that we and they would use conventional, World War II explosives. We were not going to risk Moscow, Minneapolis or Shanghai in this struggle. The Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians were not that important. At The Citadel, there was the notion that World War II veterans like John Kennedy, Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara knew more about geopolitical matters than the average cadet majoring in, say, political science. It was also assumed that Maxwell

Taylor, Creighton Abrams and William Westmoreland knew more about tactics and troop strength than your average history major. There was the belief that these oldsters were telling us the truth. Ernest Hemingway wrote, “All things truly wicked start from innocence.” In the case of Vietnam, we started off believing that Communism was a bad way to govern and keeping that pathogen contained was a good thing. We thought that keeping Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam free of foreign troops — Chinese communist troops in particular — was a noble purpose. In 1963 we didn’t covet anybody’s oil, or want rubber plantations like the Japanese wanted in 1941. All we wanted were free elections, representative government, and a market-driven economy that allowed one to accumulate wealth.

I must admit that I didn’t go to Vietnam. Rather I went to law school in Washington, D.C., and while in Washington was witness to the demonstrations against the war. Madison Hall at George Washington served as a kind of youth hostel for the students who were bused in from Boston. I talked to these young people camped outside my door. These kids were not giving Lyndon Johnson or McGeorge Bundy the benefit of the doubt. Vietnam was immoral — period, end of sentence, full stop. Now that unhappy reel is being re-run in Afghanistan. Once again we see an army evaporate; civil order collapse; and a chaotic, C-17 enabled evacuation. The drama comes complete with self-righteous commentary — in the manner of a Greek chorus — “We told you so.” Never mind 10 years of (reasonably) representative

government. Never mind the dignity and respect given to Afghanistan’s women. It was, we are assured a complete waste of lives. All of which begs the questions, “Will our leaders ever again have the guts to go into a place like Afghanistan to make life better? Will we, one ponders, ever try to stop a Rwanda-style genocide? Or will it take airborne terrorists driving passenger airplanes into the World Trade Center before we commit troops?” Right now, we are, clearly, out of the business of exporting free and fair elections; or projecting free speech and the notion of gender equality in faraway places with strange sounding names.

CANCEL CULTURE: AN INSIDIOUS INFECTION

hat is “Culture” anyway, and why all the rage to “cancel” it? When anthropologists see the word “culture” in print, outside of a textbook, they become uncomfortable. They acknowledge that most folks don’t really understand the nature and dynamics of a society’s “culture,” set within an anthropological cross-cultural context. Let’s clarify any confusion with some definitions. A culture is a hodgepodge of ideas, ethos, values, shared beliefs of groups, tribes, cities, societies, empires. Culture is a constellation of interwoven beliefs that defines a society. Ethos that define us are beliefs inculcated in a majority of the citizenry; otherwise, said “ethos” (values) are merely “ideas” that a small “tribe” or “group” have faith in and which they want you, the majority, to believe in also. American “culture” shares beliefs in democratic procedures created by our founders in the 18th century. These ethos/values of fundamental democratic ideas and values are shared by the majority of our kins-

DAVID TAUB

men/women: they include a respect and reverence for truth, rejection of bullets instead of ballots, abhorrence of politically motivated violence, a commitment to social, racial and political equality, and veneration for the rule of law. These values are both part of “the American Dream” and the American “Culture.” However, today a vicious war (“argument” is too kind) exists between what American culture is and why determined tribes of LiarLand want to “cancel” it. “Cancel Culture” is a form of Trollism, except in this case the perpetrators’ goal is to convince you that their view is correct and yours is wrong and malicious. In his recent provocative and profound book, The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth, Jona-

than Rauch provides deep insights into the armies of Truth in their battle against the armies of Untruth. Many of the ideas about, and an understanding of Trolls, Trollism and Cancelers have been implanted in my brain from reading and reflecting upon the deep messages in this incredible book. I believe the insights articulated therein are so profound and significant, that I choose to share my education, an understanding worth having regardless of cost. Mr. Rauch defines two conflicting and totally incompatible phenomena: “Criticism expresses arguments or evidence with the goal of influencing opinion through rational persuasion. It belongs to the realm of truth-seeking. Canceling exists within the realm of propaganda warfare … (it) seeks to organize and manipulate a social or media environment to demoralize, deplatform, isolate, or intimidate an adversary … its interest is not in discovering knowledge but in shaping the information battlefield.” The diagnostic indicators

of the Constitution of Knowledge (CoK) and Cancel Culture (CC) are easy to spot: CoK relies on many different views; CC blocks all but their own. CoK challenges ideas; CC punishes people. CoK depends on rational arguments; CC praises demagoguery. CoK creates credibility by seeking Truth over time; CC destroys it overnight through character assassination, thereby destroying careers and livelihoods of all who stand up to their falsehoods. CoK depends on independent observers and rational judgment; CC relies on mob action, bullying and violence. CoK places Truth and accuracy before politics; CC places political power above all else. The Persian polymath, Omar Khayyam, lived a millennium ago, and wrote a profound book called the Rubiayat. Among his most insightful observations, my favorite: “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

Once on the internet or Facebook, Twitter, and their ilk, your words live on forever. Social media is the mother’s milk of the LiarLand dominion. No do-overs; no erasures; no invisible ink. Like a deadly virus, their deceptions reproduce themselves endlessly through the magic of the digital technology they have mastered – 24/7/365. The concept that "violence begets violence" (or "hate begets hate") means that expressing violent behavior promotes other violent behavior, in return. This ancient concept is best known from the New Testament (Gospel of Matthew 26:52), wherein a disciple (identified as Peter in the later Gospel of John) draws his sword to defend against Jesus being arrested. But, Jesus tells the brave disciple to “sheath his weapon.” I suggest a variation on this insightful Biblical aphorism: that the lies of violence beget more violent

lies, and more violent lies in return beget violence itself, which in turn begets more violence, thus inciting an endless cycle of viciousness. We are witnessing this truism today as it infects our social order and threatens our democracy. The Toadies of Trollism and the Captains of Cancel Culture are the sharp spearheads of LiarLand’s tribes. The nihilism of Trollism/ Cancelers seeks only to derange the very nature of Truth itself, so that it becomes indistinguishable from Falsity. The only vaccine to combat the deadly infections of LiarLand is to stand tall and speak the Truth. The responsibility of our patriotic citizenship lies with our brave brothers and sisters who will do so. A call to arms: Don’t default to the perdition of LiarLand, The costs are too great. “Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers.” – Will Rogers. David M. Taub was Mayor of Beaufort from 1990 through 1999 and served as a Beaufort County Magistrate from 2010 to 2015. You can reach him at david.m.taub42@gmail.com.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARINES!

U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Zachary Ybarra, adjutant, Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 (VMFAT-501), Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31), hands the oldest Marine, Master Sgt. Jeremy Olderding, a piece of the birthday cake Friday, Nov. 5, during the VMFAT-501’s cakecutting ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina. The cake-cutting is a long-standing tradition where Marines worldwide celebrate the birth of the United States Marine Corps. Photos by Lance Cpl. Julia Cochrane, USMC.

eterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served our country as a Marine, soldier, sailor, Coastguardsman, or airman. Also, a limited number of World War II Merchant Mariners are officially recognized as veterans and receive Veteran Benefits. On this special day, Americans stand united in respect for veterans. As a veteran, I always appreciate it when someone thanks me for serving my country and my fellow military men and women. I also try to remind folks that the best way they can thank me is to be an honest, kind, compassionate, polite, law-abiding, and understanding citizen – a citizen who volunteers and gives back to our great nation and fellow citizens. This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country's service. It was originally called Armistice Day and it fell on November 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. In 1954 the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all United States veterans of all wars. Veterans Day is one of 11 federal holidays recognized nationwide by the United States government. All non-essential federal govern-

ment offices are closed on Veterans Day, and all federal employees are paid even if they receive the day off. Many private-sector employees will also receive paid time off or special holiday pay on Veterans Day. Beaufort County has invited the entire community to participate in the Nov. 11 Veterans Day parade in the City of Beaufort. Attending is a good way to say thank you to our veterans. The parade starts at 10 a.m., with the lineup of floats, bands, and civic groups, and all who want to march beginning at 8:30 a.m. The parade route starts in front of Beaufort National Cemetery, will head down Boundary Street, curve onto Bay Street, and end at the intersection of Boundary and Bladen Streets. Every community group, children’s group, civic organization and community member is encouraged to show their community spirit and our veterans how much they are appreciated. The deadline to submit parade applications was Sunday, Oct. 31.

In case of inclement weather, the parade will be canceled. For more information, contact the Beaufort County Veterans Affairs Office at 843255-6880. Many retail businesses, restaurants, zoos, recreation sites, vacation destinations, transportation businesses, and other businesses offer discounts to veterans on Veterans Day. And some businesses offer year-round discounts to veterans. The easiest way for active-duty military members, reservists, and members of the National Guard, and military retirees to access veterans’ discounts is to use their military ID card. For veterans who receive VA health benefits, the VA benefits photo ID card is proof of veteran status. If a veteran does not have a VA benefits card, the VA can provide you with a Veterans ID Card. Rolled-out in 2017, the VA’s Veterans ID Card program allows all honorably discharged veterans to apply for online and receive by mail a card meant to function as proof of service. Also, some states include veteran status on their state ID cards and driver’s licenses. The S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) offers a "Veteran" designation on beginner's permits, driver's licenses, and identification cards, if you served
