McMaster’s COVID-19 guidelines now required Free testing event coming to Lady’s Island By Mike McCombs Apparently, this time he really means it. On Saturday, July 29, Gov. Henry McMaster announced in a new Executive Order that all previously recommended guidelines for restaurants, public establishments and gathering places are now mandatory. These measures went into effect Monday, Aug. 3. “These limited restrictions are temporary, they are measured, and they are targeted towards what we know works,” McMaster said. “These measures give South Carolina the best chance to slow the spread of the virus without shutting down the state’s economy – which we cannot and will not do – as many continue to call for.” While once again stopping

Minimum force, maximum control

Unique training program works to keep Beaufort police officers and suspects safe By Mindy Lucas

n innovative partnership between the Beaufort Police Department and a local self-defense instructor is using a unique training program to keep both officers and suspects safe during potentially combative situations.

Known as Gracie Survival Tactics, or GST, the program uses Jiu Jitsu techniques in an attempt to de-escalate confrontational situations. As Cesar Clavijo who is leading the instruction explains, GST uses the minimal force necessary when trying to gain control over a situation or a suspect. It also differs from other forms of Jiu Jitsu, such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in that it is not a combat sport designed for competition and is specifically designed for law enforcement officers. “Gracie Survival Tactics is

designed to empower officers in ambush scenarios,” Clavijo said. “There is an entirely different set of skills involved.” Owner of The Stillness Gym in Beaufort, Clavijo has volunteered to teach Beaufort’s police officers the techniques over the past few weeks and is conducting the program free of charge. A former Marine who was stationed at Parris Island, Clavijo has trained other law enforcement officers on how to use the techniques.

Area residents petition state to extend Vote By Mail From staff reports Local civic groups have collected more than 2,800 signatures on a petition appealing to the South Carolina legislature and governor to save lives by allowing all registered voters to vote by mail in the November presidential election. In May, in response to the Covid-19 threat the legislature passed legislation enabling “no excuses” voting by mail for the June 9 primary only The citizens’ petition calls for the legislature to immediately reconvene and extend that voter option to the Nov. 3 election.

The petition states that if the legislature fails to act, Governor Henry McMaster should do so by executive order. “The legislature and governor acted to save lives during the primary when the pandemic was only beginning,” Beaufort resident Jeff Baker said in a release. “Now our state is a Covid hot spot, the election coincides with flu season and we face a much higher voter turnout for a presidential election. How can they refuse to extend voting by mail to save lives?” “This is not a partisan issue, but rather a safety issue,” Bluffton resident JoAnne

Gatti-Petito said. “South Carolinians are especially vulnerable to Covid because we have a large population of senior citizens and a high percentage of people without adequate access to healthcare. If legislators and the governor fail to act, many people will die from being exposed to Covid on voting lines. And it will be on their consciences.” The petition was organized by citizen groups, including Indivisible Beaufort, Lowcountry Indivisible, Sun City Indivisible and the Sheldon Township Community Support Partnership.

In advance of the arrival of Tropical Storm Isaias, McDermott said the tents at the hospital, as well as both express care locations, were taken down because “they were concerned about them being blown away.” McDermott said it was likely the tents would be up again before The Island News’ press time, though she could not be certain when.

It was started in the 1920s by the Gracies, a famous, multi-generational martial arts family based in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. “It’s not a new thing,” department spokesperson Captain George Erdel said. “I just think it’s come to the forefront in light of recent events.” Recent events include high-profile cases in which deadly force was used by police officers or, in the case

enforcement agencies across the country and their Use of Force policies have come under increased scrutiny. In July, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office announced it was banning the use of chokeholds except as a last resort when all other defensive measures have

been exhausted, as many law enforcement agencies across the country have done recently. In the City of Beaufort, Erdel says chokeholds have not been part of the Beaufort Police Department’s Use of Force policy for at least a decade or more.

In addition, a grassroots task force made up of civic leaders from the community was formed in Beaufort earlier this spring with the mission of improving the accountability and transparency of local law enforcement agencies. Meanwhile, GST, which uses passive or defensive resistance, is becoming more widely used by law enforcement agencies in an attempt to keep both officers and suspects safe, Erdel said. “What we’re trying to do is build confidence,” he said. “If you can control a person’s body as opposed to fighting their limbs without having to resort to kinetic things like knee strikes, if we can prevent getting to that point and keep everyone safe in the

process, that is what this is designed for.” It’s also something that officers in the program said is going to be a tremendous addition to their overall training. “It’s another tool in (an officer’s) toolbox,” officer Bill Wadman said after completing his second class with Clavijo. A patrolman for 11 years with the City of Beaufort, Wadman said he liked that the techniques could help officers diffuse situations easier and with minimal force. “What he’s trying to teach us is an alternative … to basically slow things down, even if it’s happening fast, so that we are able to reassess everything and get to a safe position.”

NEWS & BUSINESS McDorman named interim police chief From staff reports In the wake of the death of City of Beaufort Police Chief Matthew Clancy, Deputy Police Chief Dale McDorman has been named the interim chief of the Police Department. “We are fortunate that Chief Clancy developed a strong Command Staff led by Deputy Chief McDorman,” City Manager Bill Prokop said in a release. “With Dale the passing of McDorman the chief, Deputy Chief McDorman will assume the role of interim chief and will report to me.” Chief Clancy passed away of complications from cancer on July 29. He was named chief in 2009. Prokop added, “We are very proud of our entire Police Department and we know that Chief Clancy had great respect and pride in everyone of our officers and our entire Command Staff. We will be establishing a process in the near future for the appointment of a chief. In the meantime, Interim Chief McDorman will be in command of the department.” McDorman joined the Beaufort Police Department in April 1995. He was promoted to sergeant/operations supervisor in October 1999, and to lieutenant/operations in April 2005. In 2010, McDorman was promoted to deputy chief.

So far, 2020 has been the year of the ‘Long Walk’

y daughter bought me a Fitbit a few years ago. It is one of those watches that will track how many steps you take in one day. Lately, I have found myself, occasionally, exceeding my normal day total. It has to do with the “Long Walk.” I will bet that many of you too have made the “Long Walk.” Here is what happens. You get ready to enter the grocery store. You have parked the car far away from the entrance in order to park next to one of those “Return Cart here” spots. You have your grocery list, your wallet (purse), and your glasses; everything you need to go grocery shopping. You walk across the parking lot

feeling good about yourself because you are adding a few extra steps on your Fitbit. Then, 10 feet from the front door you notice something. People are all wearing masks. “NO!!!” You forgot your mask. It is usually on the passenger seat or in the center console. Back you go to the car.

It is at this point that you are somewhat embarrassed as you trek back to your car knowing that there are smug faces hiding behind those masks as if saying “Ha ha! I remembered my mask.” The frustrating part of the “Long Walk” is that I am so careful to carry a mask. I normally have one of those homemade masks in a plastic bag in my purse, but I drop them in the laundry and usually get a fresh one out. I also keep a collection of new disposable ones in the console of my car. I have seen people with the masks hanging from their car rear view mirrors. I am not comfortable doing that, but if it works for them. So be it.

front of me. She got out of the car, loaded her coins in the meter, and started up the street. She paused and turned around. Sure, enough she had forgotten her mask. When I got out of my car, I thanked her. She had spared me another “Long Walk.” Finally, I have decided there is some good news in forgetting my mask. After all, I am adding a lot more steps on my Fitbit. Lee Scott, award winning humor writer takes her “Walter Mitty” like persona and spins tales around everyday life.

Often forgotten, microbiologists answering the call

t is Saturday, July 25, and I’m in Port Royal. This morning I’m without a newspaper — neither the Gazette nor the Wall Street Journal is delivered on Saturdays — but there is something to be said for not facing the latest coronavirus numbers; or the corresponding despair that comes with those numbers. When I was16 my family decided to spend the Christmas holidays in Mexico City. As we passed through customs at Nuevo Laredo my father turned to me (by then I was the family’s navigator) and said, “From this point forward I don’t want you to drink anything but beer.” For a moment I was stunned, but then he added, “The water is full of bacteria, mostly Shigella and Salmonella. So, for God’s sake, drink the beer.” In short order I became familiar with Carta Blanca and later its progeny — Dos Equis and Tecate.

SCOTT GRABER

My father, an Army immunologist, was aware of the microscopic world that was then an abstraction for most Americans — an abstraction that Streptomycin, Penicillin and Aureomycin could contain. But these days that abstraction is made manifest by Covid-19. Now obscure and un-noticed microbiologists have been summoned from their labs and rushed into television studios. They appear, largely devoid of make-up or sleep, and are given 45 seconds to explain the origins of the virus, its mutation, its transmission. And now we want to know these things.

We want to know where Covid-19 came from. How it attaches to healthy cells. How it makes more of itself. But really, truly, what we want to know when it will leave, like past Flu pandemics — think H1N1 and SARs. There is a theory, endorsed by some virologists, that viruses start off angry (killing their host) but change. They evolve into benign hangers-on who decide on detente — peaceful co-existence. They decide that its better to have a living host, or hosts, rather moving from person to person and leaving them dead. And this kind of “settling-in”, or “calming down” happened more than a century ago when a coronavirus — known as OC43 — evolved into the what we call the “common cold.” I must confess that I like this theory — peaceful co-existence — because it represents something better than the current mutual

assured destruction theory that governs our relations with Russia and China. Could it be that these little bits of RNA encased in protein actually know something about diplomacy? But, of course, they know nothing of diplomacy. Most scientists, beginning with Wendell Stanley in 1935, decided viruses were simply a box of complex biochemicals — but certainly not a life form. Although they lack the characteristics that put an organism in the “It’s alive” category, they can replicate themselves. They also know how to get past our mucosal antibodies, enter a cell, shed its coat, and then highjack the cell’s own replication machinery. In recent years this remarkable ability to has led some virologists to upgrade these creatures into a “gray area” somewhere between chemistry and life. But as our young, sleep-deprived, just-out-

of-the-lab microbiologists explain this fascinating sequence we grow confused, and bored. “Alright, already! So when is the damned thing going to leave?” we shout at the television screen. “When can I get rid of this stupid mask and get back to indoor, all-you-can-eat dining? Indoor dining, college football and hugging one’s dinner party guests as they leave probably hinge on a reliable, antibody-making vaccine. And the arrival of a working vaccine seems probable rather than possible. It seems that its just a question of which of the 110 candidates will cross the finish-line first. For most of mankind’s history, we’ve simply watched as millions died-off from Smallpox, Bubonic Plague and Cholera. We watched as carts rolled through the streets of London and Paris picking up bodies. For most of our history we’ve been

helpless. But thanks to the unknown, unsung men and women who have focused their intellect on this problem; who have concentrated their energy on defeating this creature, we seem to be months away from a vaccine that will deliver us from this relentlessly-replicating evil. I have a coffee table book titled, “Icons of the 20th Century, 200 Men and Women Who Have Made a Difference.” I’m happy to report it has beautifully rendered photographs of Grace Kelly, Thomas Edison and Shirley Temple. I’m sad to say there is no Max Theiler, Albert Sabin or any other immunologist. Perhaps a bacteriologist or virologist will make the second edition.

The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, or Paul and Art, or maybe Bob

braham Lincoln is alleged to have said the following about the interface between citizens of the Republic and the politicians who governed them (although probably not the first to make this judicious observation): “You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can fool some of the people all of the time. But, you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Personally, I prefer Robert Zimmerman’s (aka Bob Dylan’s) take on that point of view:

“Half of the people can be part right all of the time; And some of the people can be all right part of the time; But, all of the people can’t be all right all of the time.” I think Abraham Lincoln said that. I’ll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours. I said that.” (Talking World War III Blues, 1965)

DAVID TAUB

The terrible reign of Emperor DJT proves the truth and wisdom of Abe’s and Bob’s insights. Sadly and inexplicably, POTUS has managed to fool some of the people all of the time. POTUS has been, and will likely remain, first, last and always a showman; a circus barker; a sober Elmer Gantry; a skillful con artist in the guise of P. T. Barnum. Trump plays at the cinematic role of a POTUS, approaching his presidential duties from the vantage point of entertainment and ratings. It is most certainly not based on any conventional view of politics and fundamental beliefs, for he cares only about his own self-interests. He is a flawed person who plays the part of a hero in his

own altered Wizard of Odd universe. But, his Nielsen ratings are tanking now, and the show’s metaphorical advertisers are jumping ship. He cries out claiming to be the pitiful victim of untold (and false) conspiracies aimed at his downfall. DJT’s greatest character flaw is his fatal, in-bred refusal to take responsibility and admit error. In mid-March, when courageous proactive leadership would have prevented most of the nearly 150,000 deaths that have occurred since, POTUS proclaimed in the White House Rose Garden, “I don’t take responsibility at all,” thus making clear his leaderless approach, not only to the deadly pandemic, but also to other crises that occurred during his presidency. His modus vivendi is to double- and triple-down and to never, ever admit he’s wrong, blaming anyone and everyone else for failures that are demonstrably his. America is branded with the ignominious label as being the world’s No. 1 hot-

spot for COVID-19, with more than four and a half million infections total and daily deaths hovering around 1,500. Experts estimate as many as 250,000 deaths will occur before judgment day, a scant 3 months away. If professional baseball teams open to totally empty stadiums, but immediately players and coaches tested positive for coronavirus causing them to cancel games, what on this earth makes any normal human to believe opening up schools, encased in their small arenas full of folks of all ages, can do so safely? Sheer stone-cold insanity in the first degree. Guilty, your honor. Just when you thought it could not get worse, we have 1,500 of our kinsmen dying each day. And at his last Tuesday TV show of propaganda from the WH, he whines that Americans like Dr. Fauci more than himself, and cries “but nobody likes ME.” You have just got to be kidding. He says it must be his personality. Really? POTUS

has bequeathed us an empty basket bereft of hope. God help us. What is most difficult for me to understand is how so many Americans have chosen to live in DJT’s alternate universe of lies and deception. So much craziness in our country simply confounds belief: a POTUS who addresses the COVID-19 deadly pandemic with ignorance and indifference; he inflames racial animus and unrest; creates violent confrontations against our citizenry with his “praetorian guard,” all while his cowardly party of Know Nothings stands mute, deaf and blind. It is true that many a hardcore political conservative has “woke” to this ugly reality. To their credit, they have loudly and openly berated the corrupt and incompetent failure of POTUS’s leadership. Sadly, this does not include a single Know Nothing senator in Congress, even though most of them know “it is all a lie.” I have given this conundrum much thought, trying, unsuccessfully, to understand

how this social and political nightmare came to be. Perhaps the answer is that there is no answer; or perhaps this puzzle is simply not solvable? Numerous mysteries in the world have no meaningful explanation, scientific or otherwise. Perhaps this is one of them? For me, the brilliance of Simon and Garfunkel offers the most satisfying explanation of how DJT dishonored our democracy, kidnapped the soul of the GOP and turned it into a party of sniveling Know Nothings. “I have squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises. All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest … Lies, lies, lies.” (1970, Simon and Garfunkel).

EDUCATION & SPORTS

Board approves delaying 2020-21 start date to Sept. 8 From staff reports The Beaufort County Board of Education on Friday, July 28 approved a revised 202021 school calendar that delays the first day of school from Aug. 17 until Sept. 8. Gov. Henry McMaster endorsed a Sept. 8 opening day during a recent news conference in Columbia, and increasing numbers of South

Carolina school districts are delaying their start dates. Superintendent Frank Rodriguez recommended a Sept. 8 start to Board members at their last meeting on July 14, and the Board directed the superintendent to develop the revised calendar that it approved tonight. “With the virus at such dangerous levels, delaying

the first day of school until after Labor Day makes a lot of sense,” Rodriguez said in a release. “We’ll continue to monitor health-related data and do everything we can to keep our students and employees safe, and all of their families safe.” The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control’s weekly metrics measuring COVID-19 infec-

tion rates have rated Beaufort County “High” in all three rating categories for five consecutive weeks. Since the pandemic began, more than 3,000 infections and 36 deaths – 26 in July this month alone – have been attributed to COVID-19 in Beaufort County. Under the revised 2020-21 calendar, the district’s first day

From staff reports Beaufort County and Born To Read, Inc. are partnering to bring the Dolly Parton Imagination Library book gifting program to preschool children in Beaufort County South Carolina. My First Books SC – Beaufort County and Born To Read, Inc. acknowledge the efforts of Beaufort County Senior Leadership Alumni and The Beaufort Fund for their diligence to bring this program to the area. Eligible recipients will begin to receive books eight to 10 weeks after the registration form has been received and continue until the child turns 5 years old or moves out of Beaufort County South Carolina. As many as one-third of South Carolina children enter kindergarten without the literacy skills they need to succeed. Inspired by her own father’s inability to read and write, Dolly Parton’s dream was to foster a love of reading

among preschool children and their families by gifting them with a specially selected book each month. This means a free, age-appropriate book will be mailed each month to children enrolled in the program from birth to age 5 living in Beaufort County. Residents of Beaufort County South Carolina may submit an official registration form at https://bit.ly/DollyPartonBeaufortSC. Businesses, organizations, or individuals who would like to donate funds to support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Beaufort County can make donations online at https://myfirstbookssc.org/ donate-2/ or mail them to My First Books SC, Palmetto Project, 4500 Fort Jackson Boulevard, Suite 150, Columbia, SC 29209 Parties interested in discussing a corporate or foundation sponsorship should contact Nell Killoy at 803779-4875 or 803-917-1168. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth until age 5, no matter their family’s income. After launching in 1995, the

program grew quickly. First books were only distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tennessee where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway. By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed one million books. It would prove to be the first of many millions of books sent to children around the world. To learn more about Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library visit ImaginationLibrary. com. Born To Read Inc. is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization promoting early literacy in the Lowcountry. For more information about Born To Read, Inc. visit http://borntoread.org/ My First Books South Carolina is a pre-reading, school readiness program for children from birth to age five, developed to ensure all children in South Carolina enter kindergarten with basic literacy skills essential to successfully advancing to first grade and beyond.

SPORTS BRIEF Riptide reviving 10U travel team

Local baseball players looking for a travel team will have an option closer to home this season. Coaches Jeremiah Young and Brackin Lambert are reviving the Beaufort Riptide program with plans to field a

12U team this fall and eventually add more age groups. Young and Lambert say they are committed to providing a quality, affordable opportunity for players to develop their skills in a competitive environment. The team will hold tryouts from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday,

Aug. 7, and from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, at the Beaufort Academy baseball field. In order to be eligible, players cannot turn 13 before May 31, 2021. For more information, follow Beaufort Riptide on Facebook or @bftriptide on Twitter and Instagram.
