By Beekman Webb

I

am a Beaufort native, a lifetime resident and I have spent my working life restoring, repairing, updating and modifying Beaufort’s historic buildings. I have been a member and supporter of Historic Beaufort Foundation for many years and I have strong feelings about preservation and infill in our National Landmark Historic District.

I believe that the significant historic buildings themselves, and the ways that they are preserved and allowed to be modified, are of primary importance. They are almost sacred to me. If we ‘mess them up’ we have destroyed a big part of the appeal of our town.

Second in importance are the infill buildings and new construction and the ways they affect our historic fabric. We need new construction in the district. We don’t need vacant

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you

Thank you for reporting the Beaufort City Council's recent decision to remove Helen Spalding from the city's Election Commission. Since she was in open defiance of the most important requirement of her position – nonpartisanship – it was the only decision possible.

While it is acceptable for the rest of us to align with one party or another, this is the one thing that our elections officials must conscientiously avoid. The City Council acted in the public's best interest, under the law, and in a manner that contributes to voters' trust in our local elections process.

– Carol Anne Brown, Beaufort

Continue to inform residents

Thank you for staying on top of the story of Helen Pappas Spalding and her City Elections Commission appointment. I feel the Island News’ coverage of her role in organizing the “Audit the 2020 Election” rally(s) was instrumental in generating the protests that led to the City Council removing her from the committee.

Please continue your work of informing residents of issues of local importance.

– Susan Boyd, Beaufort

City Council is against transparency

Shorter and more direct: In their hard stand against transparency, Beaufort City Council labeled participation in raising funds for election audits a “political” activity and sent the clear message “you will accept the leaders selected for you without question” by removing Helen Spalding in a 5-0 vote for questioning and wanting to research anomalies observed in the 2020 election.

– Tracey Martin, Nevada

Pete Richards left a great legacy

I wanted to say how pleased I was to see that the Fort Fremont Interpretive Center was named for Pete Richards. Pete was one of the most community minded persons I have ever known.

Not only did he work endlessly on this project, but he was the leader of Fripp Island Audubon and led the effort to get a large part of Northern Beaufort County designated as an Important Bird Area.

Also, Friends of Port Royal Wetlands was formed under his guidance, as well as the annual Birthday for the Birds celebration. He and his wife were involved in many other community related activities. Our community was so fortunate to have Pete and he left a great legacy.

Terry Manning’s column divides us more

I’m really not sure where to begin in response to the spirit of (Terry Manning’s) article.

Our society has been intentionally divided over the past 10 years in every way possible by the media and those who consume it.

Since Covid, it has accelerated dramatically.

These divisions only further weaken our society and are causing animosity among our neighbors It is certainly not helpful to write opinions that only further stir the pot We all have rights to manage our health and to practice our beliefs to the best of our ability The resistance to vaccines is certainly due to incomplete information provided since the outbreak. When we have doctors and politicians on both sides of the issue it leaves us to make decisions based on our life experiences and choices.

Yes, the Old Testament deals with health, medicine and sanitizing, however God has also given us an immune system.

When medicines are forced or mandated, we have lost our freedom as a society, we are seeing that now and are rightly concerned.

Why not try to remember that we all have one creator who loves us and wants us to love one another. If we can walk this way, any other argument or position is irrelevant.

If you are interested in adopting La Mia, Lady or any of our other pets, call our adoption center at 843-645-1725 or email us at info@ palmettoanimalleague. org to set up an appointment.

Those who are believers try to live their faith the best they can, continue to fall and get up again and keep going. This is what eventually will mature them into caring and loving individuals.

When we encounter those, we may not agree with, let us look at ourselves and remember not only our own failings, but realize we do not know their situation or circumstances.

– Don Rowe, Beaufort

City Council’s action disturbing

The article in your newspaper is very disturbing.

Why would a member of the Elections Committee be removed for standing up for a process to “evaluate” an election.

I understand there has been much behind the scenes discussion, which I believe you should also bring out in your paper, if you truly want to report on both sides of this issue equally.

Thank you for your ear.

– Jack Grimsley, California

Bindon Plantation back in the news with preliminary green light for development

N

YEMASSEE ew life has been pumped into the long-awaited, much-debated Bindon Plantation in the rural hinterland of Yemassee.

With a quick show of hands, the Yemassee Town Council last week gave unanimous approval to a preliminary development plan for the 1,317 acre tract located on Trask Parkway near the Stoney Creek Cemetery Road.

The property annexed by the growing municipality in 2016 was, at one time, being eyed for development of up to 1,300 homes and 450,000 square feet of commercial development.

The new agreement, which is restricted with a 2012 conservation protection easement purchased by Beaufort County for $3.2 million, proposes 20 single-lot homes ranging from five to 17 acres and a total of five docks.

Called Stoney Creek at Bindon, the applicant for the new development is Taylor Development Group LLC out of Winston Salem, N.C. Owner of the property is Hollingsworth Fund LLC which had the plantation on the market in 2019 for $12.4 million.

The town approval came with 16 requirements for the developers involving things like water runoff, emergency vehicular access through the gated community, etc. Since the area is not served by public water or sewer services,

the proposal includes the use of wells and individual septic tanks.

The development permit is the first for the town in a very long time. But since 2018, the town has processed 280 annexations, primarily rural areas, including three major plantations owned by former President Donald Trump’s attorney Lin Wood.

The council’s approval of the preliminary permit came with oversight by the Beaufort County Open Land Trust and the S.C. Coastal Conservation League.

There is no time line attached to the approval so when development will begin is anyone’s guess.

Speaking of more new houses SEABROOK – Land clearing along Trask Parkway, aka U.S. 21, at the Stuart Point Road intersection is taking place, making way for a new residential subdivision, Teal Bluff.

A project of the Forino Company, the planned 44-lot subdivision is being marketed by Berkshire-Hathaway.

The Pennsylvania-based development firm has several other ventures in the Lowcountry, including Mossy Oaks in Ridgeland and Academy Park on Lady’s Island neighboring Beaufort Academy.

The company also purchased Coosaw Point development on Lady’s Island earlier this year.

Lest we forget the ‘affordable housing’ issue YEMASSEE – Before the Town Council last week voted to dramatically change development activity in the community, members heard from Beaufort County Administrator Eric Greenway about a plan to help folks who can’t afford housing.

The council was the first of at least eight presentations Greenway plans to give on the county’s efforts to establish an intergovernmental affordable housing trust fund.

Creation of the fund, which would come from contributions of the municipalities in the Beaufort and Jasper Counties area plus grants and loans, is a proposal from the Southern Lowcountry, SoLoCo, group whose members meet regularly to discuss mutual areas of concern.

Affordable housing for the local workforce has been a growing issue for the past decade with different local governments using different approaches to try and bring some relief.

The municipalities will be asked to initially contribute a percent of the money they receive from the federal American Rescue Plan.

The concept must be

spokesman for the developers said they would offer a percent of the units – eight in total – for “workforce housing.”

The developer is asking for

a rezoning of the property to accommodate an increase in density, from eight units per acre to 12 units.

The town staff and planning board has recommended the town council reject the rezoning request.

development at the foot of the Woods Bridge.

The Beaufort City Council moved forward last week with a contract to Duncan O’Quinn Marine to build the crosswalk along the Woods Memorial Bridge, connecting the proposed park and downtown.

The county planning department is in charge of development of the 9.6 acre public park on the property.

They’re working their schedule around the nesting eagles which means construction is possible only between May and September.

Construction of things like the walking trail area scheduled to begin around May of next year although the county planners say things like perimeter fencing and picnic tables might be installed before that.

No word yet on Whitehall Point Holdings LLC’s plans to begin work on the commercial and residential development which will include up to 30 townhouses and single-family homes plus three mixed-use buildings.

Site work permits for the project were submitted to the city last month and are under review by the technical staff.

SC Nurse Retention Scholarship hope to keep Beaufort County nurses in Lowcountry From staff reports The nursing shortage in Beaufort County is critical and only expected to get worse in the near future. A new scholarship program aims to address this crisis.

The South Carolina Nurse Retention Scholarship (SCNRS) is a new and unique program designed to attract and retain nurses who continue to work in Beaufort County. A charitable fund has been established through the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry to provide funds to eligible candidates.

The need for nurses in Beaufort County is critical and

expected to grow. By 2030, the number of registered nurses needed in the United States is estimated to increase by 28.4 percent, from 2.8 million to 3.6 million. By that point, South Carolina is expected to have the fourth largest nursing shortage in the nation.

Currently, South Carolina has the poorest ratio of nurs-

es to the population at 7.9 per 1000, while the national average is 12.5. Both South Carolina and Beaufort County are Health Professional Shortage areas for primary care nursing.

USC Beaufort has a robust nursing program, graduating about 40 students each year.

On average, nursing students graduate with $22,000 in student loan debt. Combining this with the fact that salaries for new nurses are up to $6,000 per year higher outside of South Carolina, many qualified nurses are leaving the area.

To close this gap, the

Firefighters stop vehicle fire, save home

Burton firefighters and Beaufort County EMS were able to safely extinguish a vehicle fire within feet of a home, preventing any damage to the residence.

Just past 12:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 18, the Burton Fire District was dispatched to what at first was reported as a house fire on Bonaire Circle North. A neighbor called 911 after his wife heard popping and explosions, and reported to dispatchers that he believed his neighbor’s home was half engulfed in flames.

Burton firefighters and EMS personnel from the Shell Point fire station arrived four minutes later and reported that it was in fact a vehicle fire and not a house fire. Fire crews pushed the flames away from the home and extinguished the fire, which was confined to the engine and passenger compartments.

No injuries were reported. The fire is under investigation.

from page A1 bled a team of undergraduate assistants to study sewage, with the hopes that wastewater surveillance may one day help communities stay ahead of a fast-moving virus.

The novel coronavirus shows up in the feces of both symptomatic and asymptomatic people who have been infected, meaning evidence of its spread flows daily into wastewater treatment plants.

In the future, public health officials wouldn’t need to wait for COVID-19 patients to turn up in doctors’ offices. It can take several days for patients to get sick enough to seek treatment and days more to get test results back, so official counts of COVID-19 cases show what has happened in the past, not what’s happening now. Wastewater testing could identify an uptick much faster, researchers think, giving doctors time to

“I love all research, but this is especially interesting because we may be able to help people,” said biology major Sam Messinides, a junior, who is working on the project. “We can get a pretty good idea of what sites are being affected the most.”

During the 2020-21 school year, because USCB wasn’t able to routinely and quickly test the entire student body, leaders of the University’s Public Health Response Team asked Pettay if he could use the equipment in his lab on the Beaufort campus to test wastewater coming from the residence halls. Pettay repurposed equipment he was using to study ocean plankton and USCB’s chancellor Dr. Al Panu used federal CARES funding to purchase other supplies he needed to start analyzing sewage samples. USCB modeled its wastewater testing project on a similar study being con-

ducted at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

This summer, Pettay’s lab began testing samples collected weekly by BJWSA staff at wastewater treatment plants in Hardeeville, Cherry Point (Bluffton), Palmetto Bluff, Palm Key, Point South, St. Helena, Port Royal and Laurel Bay. “None of this would have been possible without (BJWSA),” Pettay said. “This has been a fantastic partnership.”

Pettay’s lab equipment on USCB’s Beaufort campus uses sensitive tools to identify the virus that causes COVID-19 among everything else found in raw sewage.

This methodology – called wastewater epidemiology – has been used to track the community presence of several other viruses in recent years, including polio.

The students blend the samples using a kitchen blender and then use a centrifuge to separate the components of the fluid. Finally, they obtain the viral concen-

tion of the Lowcountry has generously provided the initial funds to build the program’s infrastructure and launch the program in Beaufort County.

SCNRS’ goal is to grow and eventually expand the program statewide. They expect to offer four scholarships this year with initial funds provided by generous donations from individuals within the community, including the founders of the initiative, Dr. William Fuller and Robert Elliott, each pledging to provide full support for a candidate.

By 2022, SCNRS hopes to provide 10 more annual schol-

portation needs for the urbanized and rural areas over the next 20 years and provide a set of multimodal strategies to address these needs.

Data on the quantity of COVID-19 particles per liter of wastewater must be coupled with other information — the number of individuals served by a particular treatment plant and average volume of viral particles shed by infected individuals, for

Laboratory testing of wastewater does carry some level of risk.

Raw sewage includes many potential pathogens. And scientists aren’t yet sure if COVID-19 viral particles in wastewater are infectious — they may be just inactive molecular fingerprints of the virus.

Nonetheless, Pettay and his students are careful, using KN95 respirators, gloves, eyeshields and lab coats to protect themselves from bacteria and viruses that might be present in the wastewater.

City selects company to restore windows at historic building From staff reports The City of Beaufort has selected Shenandoah Restorations of Irmo, S.C., to restore the 29 windows in the historic Carnegie Library building in downtown Beaufort.

Several of the windows were damaged by Hurricanes Matthew and Irma. In July 2020, the City was awarded a grant of $188,500 from the South Carolina Historic Preservation Office to restore the windows.

This past June, the City issued a Request for Proposals for the restoration work.

Shenandoah’s $117,711 bid was

both the lowest and most responsive, Finance Director Kathy Todd told City Council members at their Sept. 14 Regular Meeting.

The Carnegie Library Building, which is owned by the City, opened in 1918. It was one of more than 1,600 public libraries across the United States funded by steel industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is a contributing structure in the Beaufort Historic District.

The building now houses the Beaufort/Port Royal Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Downtown Operations

Director Linda Roper said the windows’ restoration is expected to begin in October and will last roughly six months.

Also at the Sept. 14 meeting, the City announced that it had received a grant of $12,500 from the South Carolina Department of Archives & History, which the City will match, to hire an expert in building preservation to assess the current condition of the Carnegie Library. The vendor selected will prioritize needed repairs and estimated costs. Roper said an RFP will be issued for this work.

lots and we don’t need rundown, poorly-built structures that were ill-conceived and badly designed in the first place just because they happen to be there. We need new buildings that complement our great historic structures; that blend with them; that don’t detract from their beauty and significance.

Something all of us can agree on is that new buildings should “fit in.” But what makes a new building “fit” in Beaufort, or in any historic town? What is it that makes new construction complement its surroundings, or on the flip side, what makes it stick out like a “sore thumb?”

I feel that Beaufort’s current ordinances that limit the mass and scale of new buildings are reasonable.

Beaufort has had large, three-story buildings in the historic district for 200 years. The lost and lamented Sea Island Hotel was three stories high and extended through the entire block from Bay to Craven Streets.

It blended because the person who designed it did not try to “reinvent the wheel” in his design. He utilized paned windows that were separated from each other by sections

of wall. He utilized louver shutters, a parapet. He chose wood lap siding for his addition. He didn’t try to copy exactly the elements of the old mansion he expanded, but he drew from architectural details that say “Beaufort.”

That’s what we should do today. I am not suggesting that we should build fake historic buildings like some towns have done and contin-

ue to do, but our architects should draw from the large and varied lexicon of details that have graced our town since its beginning.

Let’s not build something that looks like anywhere USA. We have such a great vocabulary of local architectural language and components to utilize. Why aren’t we doing it more?

Regional styles in architecture, language and social habits are fast becoming homogenized and disappearing.

Where distinctive local style remains, it’s precious.

In Beaufort, we are fortunate to have our own special “Beaufort style” of architecture. It’s more than just the tabby, the colonial brick, the wood siding, it’s a combination of elements.

The original “Milner Report” of the 70s, which has proven to be a great assistant in Beaufort’s restoration, pointed out many of the specific distinguishing details. My hope is that the newly-commissioned Milner study will prove to be as influential as a how-to guide for new design and construction in our historic district.

What is the monk fast? blood sugar, which can lead to serious complications that result in long-term illness or death.

A 2021 study reviewed research published between 1990–2020 that explored the value of intermittent fasting for diabetes. Analysis indicated that the fasts reduced insulin resistance and promoted weight loss. Insulin resistance affects the ability of the cells to take up glucose from the blood, which results in high blood glucose.

The study authors concluded that the fasts are an effective, nonmedical treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Anyone with diabetes who wishes to try the monk diet should speak with a doctor first. The doctor can help them ensure that they are using diabetes medication correctly during fasting periods to avoid the complications of low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia.

Although no scientists have studied the monk fast specifically, research on similar fasting methods suggests that it may offer health benefits. These benefits include promoting weight loss, increasing longevity, and reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Evidence shows that less than 15% of individuals on certain fasting plans experience side effects, such as irritability and feeling cold.

Researchers do not know the long-term safety risks associated with fasting, but studies have identified some areas of concern.

People who follow the monk fast diet abstain from food for 36 hours each week.

During this time, the plan’s developer, WeFa.st, recommends drinking plenty of water and zero calorie beverages.

Does it work?

There are no studies that focus particularly on the monk fast, but evidence suggests that other methods of intermittent fasting may promote weight loss and offer other wellness benefits.

However, research has not examined whether the benefits are long-term. In addition, there are insufficient data on the safety of the practice, and experts do not recommend it for everyone.

A person interested in following the monk fast should talk with a doctor first.

Potential health benefits

Studies suggest that intermittent fasting, such as the monk fast, may promote weight loss, increase longevity, and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Promotes weight loss According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42.4% of peo-

ple in the United States had obesity in 2017–2018. Doctors advise people to aim for a moderate weight because obesity is a risk factor for metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which are conditions of the heart and blood vessels.

A 2020 review analyzed 27 clinical trials that took place during 2000–2019 and looked at the effect of intermittent fasting on weight loss. It found that individuals who engaged in the practice had a weight loss of 0.8–13.0% without negative effects.

Research in 2015 on rats explored the effect of intermittent fasting on body fat.

After 4 weeks, the results showed that body fat was approximately 40–52% lower in the rats that engaged in

intermittent fasting. The results provide a starting point for human clinical trials to investigate how fasting affects weight loss.

Boosts longevity The National Institute on Aging reports on a mouse study that suggested that fasting has a longevity benefit. It found that the mice that ate one meal per day, which involved the longest daily fasting period, had a longer life than other mice. Age-related damage to organs also occurred later in this group of mice. The researchers hope to conduct further studies on other animals and, at a later stage, humans.

Reduces diabetes risk Diabetes affects 34.2 million people in the U.S. The condition involves high

Lowers heart disease risk The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2019, 17.9 million people around the world died of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is also responsible for about 25% of deaths in the U.S. A 2019 review looked at studies on the effect of intermittent fasting on cardiovascular disease. The results indicated that it might reduce blood pressure, lower inflammation, and improve cholesterol levels, all of which can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Risks There is no specific research on the risks of the monk fast diet. Studies on intermittent fasting in general do show that this practice has several potential risks, though.

Research from 2015 on intermittent fasting cited studies reporting that less than

15% of people who engage in certain forms of fasting experience side effects. These include: • feeling cold • low energy • irritability • hunger However, the authors of a 2017 review noted that the long-term effects of intermittent fasting are unknown and recommend more of this type of research to determine safety and efficacy. The review examined the potential for harmful effects of intermittent fasting and found the following areas of concern: • Insulin resistance in muscles: Fasting 1–2 days per week leads to overnight fluctuations in free fatty acid levels that are larger than those from a normal overnight fast. This can lead to increased insulin resistance in skeletal muscles.

• Mood problems: Although intermittent fasting may improve mood and eating behaviors in individuals with excess body weight, it may have the opposite effect in those with a weight within the recommended range.

Some studies reported that such people experienced irritability and difficulty concentrating.

• Menstrual cycle changes: It is possible that intermittent fasting will change the frequency and length of the menstrual cycle.

• Feasting on nonfasting days: Some people who engage in intermittent fasting tend to feast on nonfasting days rather than focusing on eating nutritious, well-balanced meals. This may have a negative effect on general health, even if the person does lose weight.

Intermittent fasting is not appropriate for underweight

individuals. Doctors also do not recommend it for older adults or people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. In addition, they do not advise it for individuals with: • eating disorders • conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, that require meals at regular times • the need to eat regularly as a result of taking certain medications It is important for anyone on an intermittent fast to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Doing this is especially necessary because part of a person’s daily fluid intake comes from food, such as fruits and vegetables.

A 2018 study that reviewed research on the safety of intermittent fasting reported two cases of hospitalizations due to dehydration.

Alternative fasting methods

Types of intermittent fasting other than the monk fast that you might consider: • Time-restricted feeding • Alternate day fasting • 5:2 eating pattern • Periodic fasting

Summary

The monk fast involves abstaining from food but drinking plenty of water for 36 hours each week. The developer of this dietary approach recommends starting the fast on a Monday after the evening meal and ending it at breakfast on the Wednesday.

Early research suggests that intermittent fasting methods may offer various health benefits. However, doctors advise certain individuals to refrain from practicing them. A person should check with a doctor before following the monk fast or other methods of intermittent fasting.

UPDATE FOR THE COMPOSTING CROWD

We previously talked about the benefits and set up of composting.

Here’s how to determine if items can be composted:

Composting is a cost-effective, viable way to reduce trash and produce a beneficial product for gardening and landscaping. This autumn, all those leaves you rake up will make excellent composting material.

Compost is an eco-friendly way to grow a healthy and flourishing garden bed or landscape. Full of nutrients and rich organic materials, compost is often called "black gold" by gardeners for the many benefits it provides.

One of the main advantages

to compost, apart from the way it boosts plant growth and health, is that it is relatively low cost to produce.

Food scraps and other non-toxic materials that are left to break down naturally create compost. Backyard composting speeds up the natural process of decomposition. In optimal conditions, organic matter can decompose more quickly. According to the Clemson University Cooperative Extension, microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a compost pile.

However, insects also can do their part to create compost. Such insects are referred to as "physical com-

posters" because they break down materials by chewing,

grinding and digesting them into smaller pieces. Bacteria

Rinsing vegetables to rid them of loose grit or lingering dirt helps reduce germs.

But when it comes to meat

and poultry, that's another story.

"Some people think they are supposed to wash their meats and chicken before cooking. I recommend not washing them because that puts you at risk for spreading the bacteria around your kitchen and around yourself," Hill says.

Homeowners can create their own compost piles with just a few items. Some of the staples of composting include foods that normally would be discarded.

Vegetable peels, fruit rinds, eggshells, coffee grounds, and the like can be put into a compost pile. Meats and poultry should not be placed in a compost pile because of the threat of harmful pathogens and bacteria.

Other items that are not food-related also can be added to compost piles. It may be challenging to determine which ones are applicable.

Don’t fall for health fraud scams

By Rosario Méndez

Bogus product! Danger!

Health fraud alert!

You’ll never see these warnings on health products, but that’s what you ought to be thinking when you see claims like “miracle cure,” “revolutionary scientific breakthrough,” or “alternative to drugs or surgery.”

Health fraud scams have been around for hundreds of years. The snake oil salesmen of old have morphed into the deceptive, high-tech marketers of today. They prey on people’s desires for easy solutions to difficult health problems—from losing weight to curing serious diseases like cancer.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a health product is fraudulent if it is deceptively promoted as being effective against a disease or health condition but has not been scientifically proven safe and effective for that purpose.

Scammers promote their products through newspapers, magazines, TV infomercials and cyberspace.

You can find health fraud scams in retail stores and on countless websites, in popup ads and spam, and on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Not Worth the Risk. Health fraud scams can do more than waste your money. They can cause serious injury or even death, says Gary Coody, R.Ph., FDA’s national health fraud coordinator. “Using unproven

Even though doctors and dentists may get similar medical training, they can have their own opinions and thoughts about how to practice medicine. They can have different ideas about how to diagnose and treat conditions or diseases. Some doctors/ dentists take a more conservative, or traditional, approach to treating their patients. Other doctors are more aggressive and use the newest tests and therapies. It seems like we learn about new advances in medicine almost every day.

Many doctors specialize in one area of medicine, such as cardiology or obstetrics or psychiatry. Not every doctor can be skilled in using all the latest technology. Getting a

treatments can delay getting a potentially life-saving diagnosis and medication that actually works. Also, fraudulent products sometimes contain hidden drug ingredients that can be harmful when unknowingly taken by consumers.”

Coody says fraudulent products often make claims related to: • weight loss • sexual performance • memory loss • serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and Alzheimer’s.

A Pervasive Problem.

Fraudulent products not only won’t work—they could cause serious injury. In the past few years, FDA laboratories have found more than 100 weightloss products, illegally marketed as dietary supplements, that contained sibutramine, the active ingredient in the prescription weight-loss drug Meridia. In 2010, Meridia was withdrawn from the U.S. market after studies showed that it was associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Fraudulent products marketed as drugs or dietary supplements are not the only health scams on the market.

FDA found a fraudulent and expensive light therapy device with cure-all claims to treat fungal meningitis, Alzheimer’s, skin cancer, concussions and many other unrelated diseases. Generally, making health claims about a medical device without FDA clearance or approval of the

6 tip-offs to rip-offs:

device is illegal.

“Health fraud is a pervasive problem,” says Coody, “especially when scammers sell online. It’s difficult to track down the responsible parties.

When we do find them and tell them their products are illegal, some will shut down their website. Unfortunately, however, these same products may reappear later on a different website, and sometimes may reappear with a different name.”

Tip-Offs

Here are some tip-offs to help you identify rip-offs.

One product does it all.

Be suspicious of products that claim to cure a wide range of diseases. A New York firm claimed its products marketed as dietary supplements could treat or cure senile dementia, brain atrophy, atherosclerosis, kidney dysfunction, gangrene, depression, osteoarthritis, dysuria, and lung, cervical and prostate cancer. In October 2012, at FDA’s request, U.S. marshals seized these products.

Personal testimonials.

Success stories, such as, “It cured my diabetes” or “My tumors are gone,” are easy to make up and are not a substitute for scientific evidence.

Quick fixes. Few diseases or conditions can be treated quickly, even with legitimate products. Beware of language such as, “Lose 30 pounds in 30 days” or “eliminates skin cancer

in days.”

“All natural.” Some plants found in nature (such as poisonous mushrooms) can kill when consumed. Moreover, FDA has found numerous products promoted as “all natural” but that contain hidden and dangerously high doses of prescription drug ingredients or even untested active artificial ingredients.

“Miracle cure.” Alarms should go off when you see this claim or others like it such as, “new discovery,” “scientific breakthrough” or “secret ingredient.” If a real cure for a serious disease were discovered, it would be widely reported through the media and prescribed by health professionals— not buried in print ads, TV infomercials or on Internet sites.

Conspiracy theories.

Claims like “The pharmaceutical industry and the government are working together to hide information about a miracle cure” are always untrue and unfounded. These statements are used to distract consumers from the obvious, common-sense questions about the so-called miracle cure.

Even with these tips, fraudulent health products are not always easy to spot.

If you're tempted to buy an unproven product or one with questionable claims, check with your doctor or other health care professional first.

But if you know how to spot online shopping scams, you can avoid losing your money — and more. Read some tips from the Federal Trade Commission and avoid online deals that don’t deliver.

Some online deals charge but don’t deliver

Lots of people like to shop online. It's easy and sometimes faster than finding what you want at the local mall.

With just a few clicks, your order is processed, and your purchase could be on your doorstep the next day. That is, unless you clicked on an ad that was really a scam.

Online ads that offer deals on luxury items at low prices can be part of a scheme to take your money and give you nothing in return. Scammers falsely use well-known name brands in their ads for clothing, shoes, online games, and other expensive items to entice you.

How to get a second opinion

second opinion from a different doctor might give you a fresh perspective and new information. It could provide you with new options for treating your condition. Then you can make more informed choices. If you get similar opinions from two doctors, you can also talk with a third doctor.

Tips: What To Do

• Ask your doctor for a recommendation. Ask for the name of another doctor or specialist, so you can get a second opinion. Don't worry about hurting your doctor's feelings. Most doctors welcome a second opinion, especially when surgery or long-term treat-

ment is involved.

• Ask someone you trust for a recommendation. If you don't feel comfortable asking your doctor for a referral, then call another doctor you trust. You can also call university teaching hospitals and medical societies in your area for the names of doctors.

Some of this information is also available on the Internet.

• Check with your health insurance provider. Call your insurance company before you get a second opinion. Ask if they will pay for this office visit.

Many health insurance providers do. Ask if there are any special procedures

you or your primary care doctor needs to follow.

• Ask to have medical records sent to the second doctor. Ask your primary care doctor to send your medical records to the new doctor. You need to give written permission to your current doctor to send any records or test results to a new doctor. You can also ask for a copy of your own medical records for your files. Your new doctor can then examine these records before your office

visit.

• Learn as much as you can. Ask your doctor for information you can read. Go to a local library.

Search the Internet. Find a teaching hospital or university that has medical libraries open to the public.

The information you find can be hard to understand, or just confusing. Make a list of your questions, and bring it with you when you see your new doctor.

• Do not rely on the Internet or a telephone

keep these tip-offs to rip-offs in mind: • Anyone can set up an online shop. So before you place an order online, confirm that the shop has a physical address and a phone number where you can reach someone if you have problems with your order.

• Scammers often offer luxury brands at ridiculously low prices to trick you.

• Clicking on pop-up ads can download viruses, spyware, malware, and other unwanted software to your computer. It’s best to avoid them.

• If the seller requires payment through a wire transfer or by you giving them numbers off a gift card or prepaid card, that’s a scam. Legitimate sellers won’t restrict payment to those methods.

More tips: Always check BBB.org and google reviews for the name of the Store as well. In addition, make sure when buying anything it always says https:// at top when buying anything on line. And type the address in search bar instead! Don’t click links to get to any site. Example: type in search bar Amazon. com, etc.

Consider using PayPal to pay for online purchases. Your credit card and bank information is not given to a third party. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/ some-online-deals-charge-dont-deliver

conversation. When you get a second opinion, you need to be seen by a doctor. That doctor will perform a physical examination and perhaps other tests. The doctor will also thoroughly review your medical records, ask you questions, and address your concerns.

Dineen didn’t have to go to the air often, attempting just four passes, but two of them wound up in the end zone. The junior quarterback also threw a 6-yard scoring pass to Walker Day. Alex Williams also found the end zone, rushing for 40 yards and a score on just three carries.

BA’s defense was just as impressive, shutting out the

Chargers until the waning moments of the game and coming up with a pair of interceptions. Cody Dalrymple took a pick 50 yards for a score and added five tackles, and Jackson Davis also had a pick. Porter had a teamhigh six tackles, while Colten Collins and Ben Lubkin added five each.

Eagles undone by turnovers in loss to Landsharks

LowcoSports.com After an impressive 4-0 start, Friday’s trip to The Citadel to face Oceanside Collegiate seemed like the biggest hurdle between Beaufort High and a perfect regular season. The Landsharks tripped up the Eagles, using six turnovers — including two they returned for touchdowns in the fourth quarter to seal a 31-17 win and hand Beaufort its first loss.

The Eagles came out flat on the road, and the defense that has dominated all season couldn’t get off the field early. Oceanside’s Rhett Pow-

ell converted on fourth-and-1 to extend an early drive, then punched it in himself for a 7-0 lead. The Landsharks doubled the margin when Colby Shirey tossed a TD pass to Cole Stickler, and Spencer McKinley’s 47-yard field goal put Beaufort in an early 17-0 hole.

But Beaufort came roaring back, scoring 17 straight points to pull even. Tyler Haley hit Zyrin Odom for an 18yard TD, and Amariee Morris capped off a long drive with an 8-yard TD run before Joe Caprarola pounded a 35yard field goal to pull the Eagles even.

That’s when the turnovers that have plagued the Eagles the past two weeks came home to roost.

Rico Harrell picked off Haley at the Beaufort 20 and walked into the end zone to put the Landsharks back on top, and — after a lengthy delay when the lights went out at Johnson-Hagood Stadium — another Haley heave ended up in OCA’s arms, and eventually in the end zone to seal it.

Beaufort (4-1) has next week off before opening region play at home against Hilton Head Island High on Oct. 1.

Ryle Owens never gave up on the dream, now it’s coming true

R

yle Owens was doubted at every step of his basketball journey.

He didn’t have a single offer after his high school career.

In fact, he rode the bench up until his senior season.

But that didn’t stop this determined young man from reaching his childhood dream: becoming a professional basketball player.

There was little reason to believe Owens would have a chance at making it big after his time at Beaufort High. Primarily a spot-up shooter off the bench, he saw very little time at the varsity level and failed to attract the attention of college scouts.

His minutes started to ramp up as his senior year tipped off, but adversity quickly struck again. Owens began to experience serious knee pain, denying the Eagle from fulfilling his full potential on the court. The future of his basketball career was suddenly shrouded in doubt.

There’s no guarantee that even the most talented athletes recover from knee surgery, and Owens needed work done on both knees, sidelining the unproven player for more than a year.

He was bed-ridden for months, wondering if he would ever get the opportunity to chase his dreams

again. But he refused to give up on the goals he had set as a young child.

A former coach gave him a contact at USC Salkehatchie, and Owens put everything he had into what could very well be his last shot. After redshirting a year due to the surgery, the former Beaufort Eagle stepped back onto the court and poured his heart into every practice and every possession.

The climb back into action was like scaling the steepest mountain on the planet. Not only did he have to recover and find his own game again, but he also had to elevate it further against a new level of competition.

He rode the bench again initially, waiting for that opportunity to show his teammates, coaches, and scouts what he could do. During his lengthy, 18-month recovery, one refrain kept echoing through his head.

“Wait until I get healthy.

Wait until I get healthy.”

Ryle was right.

After showing off in his tiny seven-game stint at USC Salkehatchie, Owens went back to the Lowco and enlisted the help of now-Beaufort Academy coach Nick Field.

Field was blown away by Owens’ athleticism, shooting ability, and most of all his work ethic.

With Field’s help combined with an inspirational drive to push his game forward day in and day out, Owens landed a spot at Young Harris College in Georgia.

It was a small Division II school with limited notoriety, but Owens knew that he would seize the opportunity.

Head coach Jeremy Currier took a chance on the kid from Beaufort, and a determined Owens became a star for the Mountain Lions.

Fitting the team’s high-tempo offense brilliantly, he became a reliable shooter and an explosive ball-handler with the hops and quickness to thrive all around the court. In his senior season at Young Harris, Owens drained 74 three-pointers and became a valuable leader to his team. As his college career came to a close, he was itching to take his blossoming game even further.

With the help of Field, Owens came in contact with

Beaufort High grad Ryle Owens (3) made a name for himself playing for tiny Young Harris College in north Georgia. Submitted photo. agents across the globe in hopes of earning that elusive first pro deal. But the COVID-19 pandemic put seemingly all basketball leagues on pause in 2020, halting Owens’ hopes for the foreseeable future. Most people in his shoes would call it quits and look to begin a new chapter.

Not Ryle Owens.

He committed himself to any opportunity he could snag to work out, improve his skills, and raise his stock when others were sitting on the sidelines. He worked out with an NBA trainer in

Virginia, learning valuable insight from a resource at the top of the sport’s hierarchy.

Then, he came back home again to coach and mentor a group of young and talented players, just like he was a few years earlier.

The experience was invaluable. Not only did he make an impact on so many in his own community, he used the time to pick up on what he needed to fix in his own game.

When leagues and showcases returned across the country and the globe, Owens was ready to put what he had learned into action. Thanks

to Field, H2bball founder Rob Benson, and up-and-coming trainer Casser Middleton, the path was paved for Owens to reach what he had been eyeing since the first time he stepped foot in a gym.

He traveled to showcases across the country, proving to the basketball world what he knew all along. And then, 18 months after his college career came to a close, TSU Tbilisi in the former Soviet republic of Georgia came calling. The dream was now a reality.

A kid from the little town of Port Royal, S.C., who was confined to the bench in high school, is now on his way to play pro basketball in Europe. He had no business making it this far in his hoops career.

But with every piece of adversity thrown his way, he used his unending determination, the amazing mentors in his corner, and his faith to defy the odds.

The professional career of Ryle Owens is about to lift off, and we can’t wait to see him rep the Lowco.

BCSD selects officer to lead Student Services

From staff reports Veteran administrator Juliet White, PhD, has been selected to lead the Beaufort County School District’s Student Services division that encompasses special education, alternative programming, guidance counseling, adult education, nursing, athletics, and additional student services/initiatives.

White, who has served as the district’s Director of Special Education since 2019, brings Juliet 28 years of White, PhD e d u ca t i o nal experience to the role of Student Services Officer. She started her ca-

reer as a speech-language pathologist and clinical instructor and has served districts across the state of S.C. as director of special services, executive director of special education programs, and assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.

White is enthusiastic about her new role and strongly believes all students can achieve

at their highest levels with the appropriate supports.

“This division will provide a variety of services to support staff, students, and families to eliminate obstacles, facilitate instruction, and enable students to succeed within their learning environment.”

White holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in speech pathology and audiology, as

well as an education specialist degree in educational leadership, all from South Carolina State University. She also earned a doctorate in speech pathology and audiology from the University of South Carolina, where her dissertation research examined early predictors of academic achievement in low income students.

“I am excited to reinvigorate

the Student Services Division,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “Given Dr. White’s passion for this work and her vast experience, I know she will lead her division well to provide the supports needed to help move academic achievement forward so our students can reach their full potential and succeed, both in the classroom and in life.”

3 area students honored as 2022 National Merit semifinalists

From staff reports Three area high school students have been announced as semifinalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program and will advance to the next level of competition.

Among the roughly 200 South Carolina students selected as national semifinalists were Timothy Brown and Holland Perryman of Beaufort High School and Mary Chumney of Holy Trinity Classical Christian School.

These students entered the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program competition by taking the 2020 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. They are part of the

nationwide pool of semifinalists that includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state, placing them in the top one percent of all U.S. high school seniors.

As semifinalists in the 67th annual National Merit Scholarship Program, they will compete with 16,000 national finalists for 7,500 college scholarships worth nearly $30 million.

“I am confident they will represent Beaufort County well in the next phases of this national competition,” Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said of Brown and Perryman in a release.

“Mary Chumney contin-

ues to excel and her Holy Trinity family is proud of her hard work and dedication to rigorous academics,” Holy Trinity Guidance Counselor Tara Gaillard said. “This award is yet another outward sign of the inward growth she has experienced over her many years at Holy Trinity.

Soli Deo Gloria!"

In order to become a finalist, each semifinalist and their high school must now submit a detailed application that provides information about the student’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards. In addition,

each semifinalist must be endorsed and recommended by an official from their high school, write an essay, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier score on the qualifying test.

About 95 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and approximately half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) is a nonprofit established in 1955, and its scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and more than 400 businesses and higher education institutions.

County grants Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund additional $100,000

From staff reports Beaufort County has allocated an additional $100,000 to the Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund of Coastal Community Foundation.

The Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund will support nonprofits in Beaufort County that are currently providing educational support services such as virtual learning, socially distanced learning, and supplemental academic enrichment, or those that would like to begin offering these components.

"With the ongoing fluidity of the pandemic, it's hard to know what the learning environment will look like week to week," Director of the Southern Lowcountry for Coastal Community Foundation Veronica Hemmingway

said in a release. "Our goal is to continue supporting organizations that are providing all types of academic support to Beaufort County students, and we are grateful that Beaufort County is committed to providing the resources to make that happen."

“It’s always a privilege, as a public servant, to be able to work alongside the County Council to quickly solve problems that meet the needs of the community,” Beaufort County Administrator Eric Greenway said.

“This additional funding of the Distant Learning Grant program allows the positive impact on the quality of life of many Beaufort County citizens to continue as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Launched in January with

$100,000 in seed money from Beaufort County, the Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund awarded five grants in June to nonprofit organizations supporting students in Beaufort County.

The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry was awarded $25,000 to support its eLearning Support Program, which provided students the time and space to complete their virtual coursework while their parents continued to work throughout the pandemic.

“Our trained staff made sure each student attended their scheduled live video instruction, tutoring, small group, and independent learning opportunities as assigned by their teacher,” Branch Executive Director for the Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry

Kaylin Garst said. “Without the financial assistance of the Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund of CCF, our Y would not have been able to offer this program that provided 940 hours of learning assistance to 180 children for 25 weeks.”

With another round of funding now available, the Beaufort County Distance Learning Fund is accepting applications from 501(c)3 nonprofits and recognized houses of worship in Beaufort County serving Beaufort County students. Coastal Community Foundation began accepting applications on an ongoing basis beginning Tuesday. The funds will continue to be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and organizations are encouraged to apply as early as possible to secure funding.

t is Sunday and I’m in Danbury, Conn. Yesterday, my wife and I drove to Danbury to celebrate Dean Moss’ 75th birthday and last night did our celebrating at the home of his son, Will Moss, who works with my son, Zach, at NBC in Stamford.

Dean grew up in Pomfret, Conn., and at 40 was hired as the General Manager at the Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority. Dean and Alice Moss quickly blended into Beaufort’s small social biome, Alice eventually running the foundation that supports Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

Their children, Will and Lily, became good friends with my son, Zach, and we often took hikes in the Blue Ridge especially around Mt. Pisgah and into the Shining Rock Wilderness.

Will, Lily and Zach were all in Danbury yesterday and,

with the assistance of Will’s home-brewed beer, we talked about their coming of age in Beaufort. One of those stories centered on a canoe trip that we all took down the Ichetucknee and Santa Fe rivers — a trip that began at a crystal clear up-welling called Ichetucknee Springs. The trip also included the (Charles) Friedman boys as well as the (David) Porter boys.

The Santa Fe/Suwannee is a long system that begins in the middle of Florida’s panhandle, then works its way South through stands of Cypress, Black Tupelo and Gum trees to the Gulf of

Mexico. It is surrounded, for much of its length, by swamp and in those long gone days was largely without human habitation. After about six hours of current-assisted paddling we came upon a fish camp.

Now I’m old, and my memory unreliable, but the fish camp I’m talking about bore no resemblance to the Fish Camp Restaurant in Port Royal. None at all. This fish camp, emphasis on camp, featured a dark, low-ceiling bar built atop swaying creosote pilings beginning to give way to the inexorable, russet-colored current. It was, however, known for fried catfish, cold beer, and for bunk beds for patrons too impaired to make their way out of the swamp. As we paddled up to its dock the kids fell silent, each sensing something bad had transformed their fathers — that tonight was going to be their own version of “De-

liverance” or, perhaps,“Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

Our large party was tired, hungry but the smell of hot grease got us into the bar and the grown-ups into their first Pabst Blue Ribbon. Soon we were talking, laughing, re-living the capsizing, the collisions and the loss of styrofoam coolers as we pin-balled our way down river. The kids, at their own table and strangely subdued, ordered fried mozzarella sticks which they garnished with sugar from the complimentary packets provided by the restaurant.

Later, when we were shown the beds in the bunkhouse, the kids again went silent; presumably thinking their (normally) reasonable fathers had crossed-over some invisible line separating sanity from madness. And I will admit the bedding was alive with some kind of biomass — probably harmless.

Later that night the kids met together, discussed the bedding and bathrooms, then voted to send Lily to us who said, “We must leave this place!”

“We must find shelter elsewhere,” were the words I remember to this day. The problem was there was no elsewhere. Eventually Lily went back to her room, but the kids were not happy.

Yesterday, Lily Moss revealed that as a result of this experience in Florida she decided to dedicate her life to providing impeccably clean sheets, and bathrooms, in hotels around the world. Lily is now Director for Guest Experience for Kimpton Hotels.

Kimpton has 8,000 employees and 68 hotels worldwide.

What is distinctive about Kimpton, is the fact that each hotel is different. They are themed but they are also immaculate. And Lily Moss has “opened” a good many of

these hotels. Currently she is working in Honduras.

Last night, as we sat in the Connecticut twilight she said, “It was the horror that I saw at that Florida fish camp that led me to Kimpton.

That night I decided nobody else would see that kind of depravity.”

As I finished-up Will’s handcrafted beer, I marveled how a small, unfortunate decision on my part resonated through the years. Lily Moss now travels the world, opening hotels and delivering a unique experience, largely due to my thoughtlessness.

It goes to show you that one never knows when a hurried, un-researched, unfortunate hotel reservation will have monumental, long-term consequences.

OK, it’s all really about the economy

here is an age-old, home-spun platitude that is nonetheless true, as most home-spun wisdom tends to be: “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”

I have tried to change mostly unchangeable attitudes of determined folks, but I have been using hightest vinegar. Mea culpa.

Marinated in linguistic “honey,” I wish to encourage unvaccinated folks to give vaccinations serious reconsideration, for an important reason you may not have thought of previously.

Most every U.S. economist, left- or right-leaning, conservative or liberal, or any orientation in between, agree that the low-level-of-vaccination-based COVID-19 situation is a constant and dynamic encumbrance on the recovery of — wait for it — “THE ECONOMY!” Virtually every country’s economy has suffered deep distresses; none have revitalized their financial drivers of national stability and growth to pre-pandemic

levels of 2019. Put another way, eight billion consumers can’t all be wrong.

So, forget the arguments directed to those determined not to get vaccinated, a minority of about 25 percent. Instead, let’s encourage them to cogitate on the non-medical reality that unvaccinated folks mostly hurt themselves by damaging the economy. A stuttering economy hurts everyone.

Consider this: stores of all types are closing again; most malls remain deserted (a great place to do a zero-to-60 test of that new super-Corvette); untold numbers of restaurants remain closed, many of them never to reopen. Millions of jobs are available but CEO’s cannot find sufficient workforce to operate

at full capacity, because many workers have died from COVID-19 and/or have chosen other better paying jobs. Yet millions remain unemployed and without a dependable livelihood.

Remember those bargain stocks you bought that were guaranteed to “go through the roof,” but bombed instead? Remember that new car you were ready to buy to replace your 10-year old klunker, but you couldn’t manage the exorbitant payments because selling prices are off the charts and certain key parts aren’t available, thus delaying production?

Guess why that happened?

There is insufficient room here to even begin reciting all the economic damage entwined in the base of COVID-19’s wreckage to limb, life and livelihood.

In the arena of national commerce, recent polls show that more than half of all Americans favor vaccine requirements at work. Failure to do so will continue dragging economic recovery.

Here is one big hurt on

the economy to consider.

The Kaiser Family Foundation calculated treating each unvaccinated, COVID-19 infected/hospitalized sick person, costs about $20,000 for each patient, or about $3.5 billion in just the past three months, with 287,000 preventable Covid-19 hospitalizations from June to August. The economic-based destruction of the means of financial support for millions of Americans will continue until we bring COVID-19 under control.

There is only one way to do that, boys and girls, and you already know what that is.

Most cinemas and plays have not reopened. Rambunctious unvaccinated teenagers who can’t go to movies are driving their parents nutzoid by staying home. Opening all movie-houses quickly will save parents’ sanity. The best way to parental nirvana is to maximize vaccinations by reassuring unvaccinated folks to become part of a large and safe majority is a good thing.

Without a robust increase

in vaccination rates soon, we will not achieve “herd immunity,” which means that the economy will remain sluggish at best, and will continue struggling to recover. Decaying economies nearly always lead to undesirable societal changes. We’re already seeing the negative consequences of this correlation.

The economy-based social changes in America today are partly reflected in sharp divisions because of our battered economy, not the least of which is the division of vaccinated versus unvaccinated “tribes.” It is said that, “a rising tide raises all ships.” This is a physical truth, unless there is a leaking hole in the ship’s hull. A strong economy tends to benefit all Americans, unless there is an error in the calculation.

Ignore the truths that unvaccinated folks are 11 times more likely than their vaccinated neighbors to get sick and die; that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and exceptionally effective; that unvaccinated folks are quite

prone to infecting others, most often family members; and so on.

Regrettably, these truths haven’t encouraged unvaccinated folks to get “the jab.”

Please do think about the devastating impacts of all this on the economy.

Perhaps the time has come for our unvaccinated kinsmen/women to reflect on the duties required of each of us, as good citizens in our society, to give serious reconsideration to the “goodness” of the act of vaccination. Saving your own life and that of loved ones, and even strangers, is the highest level of “goodness” in America’s exalted values.

Good for your body and soul. And good for THE ECONOMY! Go for it! It will not hurt you.

Hearing problems the most prevalent service-connected disability among veterans

I

n last week’s Island News, we learned that it is VA Policy that all veterans enrolled in VA health care are eligible for medical services that include diagnostic audiology. Additionally, we learned that many veterans are also eligible to receive hearing aids from the VA. The first article also answered five questions about VA hearing care. This column will answer 14 more questions about the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System (RHJVAHCS) audiology care.

1. What special board certifications, state certifications, etc. does the Ralph H. Johnson VA Audiology clinic and employees have?

Answer: All audiologists on staff have clinical doctorate degrees, are State Licensed professionals, and are either certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) or the American Academy of Audiology (AAA).

2. Does the VA offer different styles of hearing aids?

Answer: The RHJVAHCS offers all of the known styles including, Behind-the-Ear, Mini-Behind-the-Ear, In-the-Ear, In-the-Canal, and Completely-in-the-Canal. It also offers specialized medical devices like cochlear implants and bone conduction devices to

the RHJVAHCS Hearing Clinic work together with the Mental Health and other departments to help the veteran with reducing anxiety and depression?

patients with unique needs.

3. What kinds of hearing aids are offered at the RHJVAHCS? Answer: All hearing aids are digitally programmable.

4. Is it true that hearing problems, including tinnitus, which is a ringing, buzzing, or other type of noise that originates in the head — are by far the most prevalent service-connected disability among American Veterans?

Answer: Tinnitus and Hearing Impairment are the No. 1 and No. 2 service-connected disabilities.

5. Tinnitus is common in Veterans, is it still true that there are no objective tests to diagnose the problem?

Answer: That is correct.

6. Does the RHJVAHCS prescribe service dogs for some hearing loss patients? ly.

Answer: No, not current-

7. Veterans with tinnitus frequently have anxiety, depression, or both. Does

Answer: All Audio Department employees undergo annual training in regards to Mental Health issues like anxiety and depression. In regards to patients with tinnitus; the clinics use Progressive Tinnitus Management – part of which may involve referrals to Mental Health; as needed.

8. How does a veteran get emergency hearing care after normal business hours, weekends, nights, and holidays?

Answer: The audiology department currently does not provide emergent care outside of normal business hours. Veterans may contact the RHJVAHCS by phone or secure messaging of their emergent needs. The Ralph Johnson VA has an excellent record in responding to patients who need help on a more urgent basis.

9. How does a veteran determine eligibility for hearing care and hearing aids?

Answer: Veterans may contact Health Administration Services or the Eligibility Department (843-789-7008) to find out what services they are eligible for. Each of the seven Ralph H. Johnson VA

CBOCs (Beaufort, Goose Creek, Myrtle Beach, and N. Charleston, S.C. and the Hinesville and Savannah, Ga. Clinics) can also determine if a veteran is eligible for VA health care services.

10. What is the average wait time for an appointment with the Hearing Clinic?

Answer: Charleston – 2 weeks, Myrtle Beach – 7 weeks, and Savannah – 2 weeks.

11. How often does the RHJVAHCS Hearing Clinic cancel an appointment?

Answer: Audiology clinic appointments may be cancelled, as needed; usually due to service provider illness or emergency preparedness (i.e., hurricanes).

12. Does the RHJVAHCS Hearing Clinic do regularly scheduled follow-up appointments or are all follow-ups scheduled by the Veteran – and how often?

Answer: Follow up care is determined based on patient’s needs and are usually scheduled upon check-out after an appointment.

13. Is it true that if a veteran with a hearing aid provided from a non-VA source sees a VA Hearing Doctor, the audiologist determines the effectiveness of the device in meeting the veteran’s rehabilitative needs and, if the device is sufficient for the veteran’s needs, no device will be prescribed, but the audiologist may register the hearing aids through the VA’s Remote Ordering Entry System (ROES) for free battery and repair services?

Answer: This is correct; if the Veteran is in Priority Group 5 or higher.

New hearing aids may be issued to that veteran in the future; as clinically indicated. Read about VA priority groups at https:// www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/priority-groups/.

14. How does a Veteran order new batteries for his VA provided hearing aid?

Answer: A veteran may be eligible to order hearing aid batteries and accessories from the VA, if the veteran is enrolled in VA health care, and the veteran is registered as a patient at

a VA medical center, and the veteran’s audiologist has prescribed hearing aids or other hearing assistance devices. A veteran can order batteries and accessories either by calling 303273-6200, or online through DS Logon, My HealtheVet, or ID.me, or by mail using VA Form 2346a. You can find the form and address to mail the request to online at https://www.va.gov/ vaforms/va/pdf/VA2346a. pdf. Read about ordering batteries and accessories at the VA website https:// www.va.gov/health-care/ order-hearing-aid-batteries-and-accessories/.

There’s Got to Be More Than This!

We desire more than the world can give.

Tom Brady gave a famous interview in 2005.

After winning his third Superbowl, the famous quarterback shared something surprising about his life. On 60 Minutes, he wondered aloud, “Why do I have three Superbowl rings, and still think there’s something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, ‘Hey man, you’ve reached your dream, your goal.’ Me, I think, there’s got to be more than this.”

Isn’t Tom’s experience like our own?

Like Tom, we can have everything that we imagine would make us happy, and yet we can feel, “Is this all there is?” There is a restlessness, a yearning, which still remains unsatisfied.

Whatever worldly goals we accomplish, whatever possessions we acquire, there is still something missing. As one author has pointed out, we can never get enough of what we don’t really need.

Reasons for Joy Message 2 of 8

There is joy in finding the desire of our hearts.

Imagine how frustrating it would be if, desperate for a drink of water, every faucet we tried would only dribble a few drops of water into our glass. And imagine how overjoyed we would be to discover a waterfall, cold and pure, in which our glass could be filled to overflowing! This is the joy we experience as Christians as we stop trying to find fulfillment in the world alone, and instead begin to encounter God in a personal way.

Our hearts are restless until they rest in God. We were created by God out of love, and our hearts were created to receive his infinite love. This is why even the love of a spouse cannot completely fill our hearts, because it is still a finite love.

But as we begin to encounter God, we encounter the one our hearts were longing for all along. As one early Christian famously observed, our hearts are restless until they rest in God. Why not try a different way?

Within yourself, do you recognize some of the same questions asked by Tom Brady? Many times, we drown out our uneasiness with constant noise and distraction. In quiet reflection, though, we can recognize the pattern of trying one broken faucet after another. Why not give God a chance to show that he is the one you have been searching for?
