TODAY'S FOCUS
Patriotic duty: Cheer on rugby's Team USA on July 4
By ROB JONES
Owner, Cambria Sports; member, Charleston Outlaws
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

JUNE 25, 2009 -- I live and breathe rugby. I grew up a rugby fan (Go Wales!), have played socially for years and even semi-professionally for nearly six years in the United Kingdom, Wales and Australia. I've served as a youth rugby coach in my native country, Wales, and these days, now that Charleston is my home, I am a proud member of the local men's rugby club, the Charleston Outlaws. A few months ago, I recently fulfilled a lifelong dream in opening Cambria Sports here in Charleston, a sporting goods store specializing in rugby and soccer gear for men and women of all ages.


Jones

On July 4, the eyes of rugby fans worldwide will be on Charleston, where the USA National team, the USA Eagles, will take on Rugby Canada for a spot in the International Rugby Board (IRB) 2011 Rugby World Cup. Considering that the date of this major international sporting event falls on Independence Day, I feel it is my patriotic duty to share a few words with you about this incredible sport that has played such an important role in my life.

Rugby is played on every continent in the world and is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States; in fact, USA Rugby reports that membership in the sport is up 159 percent over the last 10 years. Our city is part of the trend, with men's and women's collegiate teams at The Citadel and College of Charleston, the Charleston Outlaws men's club, Charleston Hurricanes women's club, and plans in the works to form a number of youth rugby clubs by the end of this summer.

For those new to rugby, there are a few things you should know. Rugby is kind of like American football (and, in fact, American football was derived from rugby). But rugby is American football without the pads and helmets, without the timeouts and delays in play, and with 15 players on each side on the field at any one time and a total of 22 in the squad. Rugby games last 80 minutes and there are no timeouts, just constant running and constant action. The rugby ball can only advance if a player kicks it or is carrying it. The ball can be thrown laterally or backward to another player; it can't be thrown down the field, only run or kicked.

And as a newbie, you'll have to navigate a whole new sports terminology. But if you can remember that the pitch is the field, a scrum is the term for restarting the game after a break in play from an incident like a knock on, which is when a player drops or loses the ball, and a ruck is what happens when at least three players all vie for a ball that gets released when a player is tackled - well, if you can remember even those four terms, nobody will ever know you're new to the sport.

IRB World Cup Qualifier

What: In a major rugby match with worldwide interest, the USA Eagles will take on Rugby Canada here in Charleston, with a spot in the 2011 Rugby World Cup at stake.

When:
4 p.m. July 4.

Where:
Blackbaud Stadium, Daniel Island.

Cost:
Tickets are $15-$40.

Tickets/more info:
Online or 971-4635.

To me, rugby is one of the most social games around, and one of the most thoughtful and athletic. We don't wear helmets, we don't wear padding, but we're taught to tackle and take a tackle safely, and we know how to offload the ball before a hit. It's a mental game. Every position on the field gets to play the ball, kick the ball, tackle and score, so everyone is actively involved. I've spent years tackling some of my oldest and best friends, but at the end of the game we all shake hands, have a drink and sing songs into the night. That's the attraction of rugby - it's not all hard hits and mud, it's also people coming together with mutual respect and admiration for one another because we all love the same game.

The July 4 USA Eagles vs. Rugby Canada IRB World Cup qualifying game will be played at 4 p.m. at the Charleston Battery soccer stadium on Daniel Island. Tickets are available online at http://www.charlestonrugby.com or by calling the Charleston Battery at 971-4635. The U.S. national team has qualified for the last five out of six World Cups, so chances are great that you'll see them walk off the pitch with another victory under their belt.

I hope you'll join me at the match, where I plan to continue my patriotic duties in cheering as loudly as possible for the USA Eagles. And after the game, I hope you'll also join me in raising a glass with not only other fellow Eagles fans, but also fans of Rugby Canada, as we sing songs into the night and reflect on the hard hits, the mud and the great plays that were made on the pitch.

Rob Jones is a lifelong rugby fan who now splits his loyalties between the Welsh Rugby Union and the USA Eagles. He owns the rugby and soccer outfitter Cambria Sports, located at 1890 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in Charleston. Readers of this article are invited to drop by his store for a rugby tutorial and for a 10 percent discount off Team USA gear to wear to the July 4 IRB World Cup qualifying game.

Media need to back off on Sanford

By ANDY BRACK, publisher

JUNE 24, 2009 - - It was painful to hear Gov. Mark Sanford's apology to the world over his adultery in Argentina.


Brack

He has embarrassed himself and killed any chance of being President.

He's humiliated his family, friends, party and colleagues.

He's let down people across the state. And he's given South Carolina another black eye - just the kind of thing the state doesn't need now.

But for all of the oddness, sadness and grief with Sanford's recent disappearance, reappearance and today's news conference before dozens of cameras and reporters, you've got to give the governor points for one thing: He directly dealt with it. Yes, he broke Commandments. The live political reality show wasn't fun to watch or hear. And he rambled a bit. But he faced the music and thundering political and personal consequences that are sure to come from the whole mess.

Now the media need to back off. There's nothing good to be gained from a continuing national and state media crucifixion on the moral failings of Mark Sanford, a man who happens to be a governor.


Sanford

Right now, Mark Sanford, the man, needs to heal. His family and friends need to heal. And the state needs to heal. South Carolinians need to pick their collective jaw from the floor and deal with the stunning personal news about the governor. It's not right for the whole sad episode to be picked apart like crabs on a chicken neck.

As best as we can tell, Sanford didn't do anything wrong legally in terms of performing his duties as governor. Sure, there are leadership and judgment calls that will be questioned. They should be. And they will in next year's legislative session as state lawmakers grapple with how to delegate emergency powers when a governor is AWOL.

For now, the Sanford affair has moved from political to personal. It's time to give the governor and his family some space.

Some might see this as a call for leniency and find it particularly perplexing for a longtime critic of the governor. Over the years, we've criticized his leadership, his policy proposals and his view of government, all of which we will continue to take issue when necessary.

But the South in which I was raised taught me to not kick a man when he is down. And boy, if there were ever a time that Mark Sanford was down, it's now. And he doesn't need to be kicked any more.

Pluff Mud Connect to offer Thrive! Prizes to local nonprofits

Pluff Mud Connect [Focus, 5/14/09], a new web-based matching service that connects nonprofits and local businesses, is offering five prizes of $1,000 each to area nonprofits who can answer one question: "If your organization received an extra $1,000 that could only be used for a one-time project ... what would you do?"

The Thrive! Prizes were inspired by Pluff Mud Connect's mission to help nonprofits grow their capacity and sustainability. The awards will focus on one-time projects that strengthen a nonprofit's staff, volunteer base, fundraising, marketing or other infrastructure needs. To be eligible, an applicant must be registered as a 501 (c) 3; must be physically located in Charleston, Beaufort, Berkeley, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Jasper or Hampton county; and must be registered with Pluff Mud Connect, which is free to all area nonprofits.

Answers to the question may be submitted at Pluff Mud's Web site between July 1 and July 31. Winners will be announced in August. The Pluff Mud team will choose semi-finalists, and members of the web-based community will then be invited to pick the five winners. "Involving our local nonprofit and business members in selecting the winners is a natural choice for us," said Laura Deaton, Pluff Mud's founder. "Since the funding is designed to help nonprofits build capacity by using enrolled local service providers, consultants and businesses, it gets everyone invested in creating a win-win from the start."

The Thrive! Prize fund is fueled through a portion of the enrollment fees paid by the consultants, service providers and businesses that join Pluff Mud Connect. Launched just over a month ago on May 15, Pluff Mud Connect already has more than 100 members, and the collective buying power of its registered nonprofits totaled more than $96 million as of mid-June. Businesses enrolled provide services across more than 75 sub-categories, including infrastructure and technology, Web design and other marketing services, printing and direct mail, fundraising, human resources, legal services, accounting services and more.

Pluff Mud Connect is an underwriter of CharlestonCurrents.com.

Whole Foods' 5 Percent Day to benefit Fields to Families

Whole Foods Market in Mount Pleasant will be donating 5 percent of its sales on June 30 (8 a.m. to 9 p.m.) to Fields to Families [Focus, 6/4/09] , a local organization with the mission of getting nutritious food to those who are hungry. The effort is part of the store's 5 Percent Day campaign, through which the corporation donates at least 5 percent of its annual net profits to nonprofit organizations through donation days such as this one, as well as other efforts.

"Whole Foods Market is very generous to the community, and we know the company and its staff are dedicated to good nutrition for all people, especially the needy," said Jacki Baer, director of Fields to Families. The organization will have an information booth set up at the store so shoppers can learn more about the organization.

New online system provides better monitoring of turtle nests

A new online database that's a cooperative effort between South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia will provide for better monitoring of sea turtle nests along the coast, experts say. The new Sea Turtle Nest Monitoring System has been described as a revolution in sea turtle conservation and management because it will coordinate nesting data in real-time for four species of sea turtles along 710 miles of coastline - some 4,800 nests monitored by thousands of volunteers each year.

Michael Coyne, founder of SeaTurtle.Org, says data can now be reported by each beach in real time through the online nest monitoring system. The system, developed by SeaTurtle.Org in collaboration with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Department of Natural Resources and North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, is an effort to standardize sea turtle nest data collection and provide resource managers with real-time feedback from their sea turtle nesting beaches.

"The new database management system is exciting because it allows us to monitor sea turtle nesting in real time and make more timely management decisions," said DuBose Griffin, SCDNR sea turtle coordinator. Andrea Grabman of Edisto Beach State Park also had praise for the system. "The new online system is a wonderful tool that allows all of the nest protection project leaders to see what is happening on other beaches in the state. It is very user-friendly and informative," she said.

In addition to gathering nesting data, the system also generates summary statistics, reports, graphs and maps on demand. Such immediate feedback is beneficial to both individual project data managers as well as state coordinators.

Last year marked the 28th anniversary of sea turtle conservation in South Carolina, a milestone for the state. Coordinated by the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division of DNR, volunteers, researchers and biologists from various agencies monitor turtle nesting activities on state beaches. Between 1980 and 2007, nest protection efforts along the coast of South Carolina have helped 4,682,102 loggerhead hatchlings have the best chance of survival.

HISTORY SPOTLIGHT
Battle of Sullivan's Island: June 28, 1776

Editor's note: Check out today's calendar for details on this weekend's activities at Fort Moultrie to commemorate the battle.

The Battle of Sullivan's Island was the first major patriot victory in the Revolutionary War. In February 1776, after British plans to capture Charleston were revealed, South Carolina patriots began construction of a fort on Sullivan's Island close to the main shipping channel at the mouth of Charleston harbor. Colonel William Moultrie was given command of the island's forces and ordered to supervise the fort's construction.

The unnamed fort was to be a square with five-hundred-foot-long walls and a bastion at each corner. It was built of thousands of palmetto trees cut to make two parallel log walls sixteen feet apart and more than ten feet high. The space between the walls was filled with sand. By late June only the two walls and bastions facing the channel were complete; thirty-one cannons were in place, and fewer than four hundred soldiers garrisoned the incomplete fort. At the other end of Sullivan's Island, three hundred soldiers were positioned at Breach Inlet to block the British from crossing from Long Island (Isle of Palms) and attacking the fort from the rear.

A British fleet, which arrived on June 1, included nine men-of-war mounting almost three hundred cannons. On June 8 a British surrender demand was rejected, and the next day British infantrymen landed on Long Island. On June 28 the British ships advanced to attack the Sullivan's Island fort. By 11:30 a.m. six warships were in position and opened fire. The fort's guns soon responded. Not long after the bombardment began, three more British warships attempted to move into position between Sullivan's Island and the mainland, fire into the fort's unprotected rear, and block patriot troops from reinforcing the fort. But the movement failed when all three ran aground on the sandbanks in the harbor's mouth. Two later freed themselves, while the third remained hard aground.

The bombardment continued into the evening, but the fort withstood the pounding from the British heavy guns. Its palmetto-log and sand walls absorbed the solid shot and shells, resulting in little structural damage. At the same time, patriot rounds tore into the wooden warships. During the afternoon when the British on Long Island attempted to cross Breach Inlet, patriots on Sullivan's Island were able to turn them back.

At 9:00 p.m. the British ceased their attack and pulled out of the fort's range. Several warships had been damaged, and more than two hundred sailors were casualties. Inside the fort fewer than forty patriots had suffered the same fate. The next day the British set the grounded ship on fire, which exploded when the flames reached the powder magazine. The British soon withdrew, leaving Charleston free from attack until 1780. Shortly after the battle, the fort was named Fort Moultrie in honor of its commander. Fort Moultrie is administered as part of Fort Sumter National Monument, a unit of the National Park Service.

THE LIST
The mosquito list

Happy National Mosquito Awareness Week! In the Lowcountry, Charleston County Mosquito Control Division employees are doing their part to teach residents more about mosquitoes, and they want to spread the word that they're willing to come out to individual homes and businesses that request mosquito control services.


Odom

All it takes is a phone call to Mosquito Control at 202-7880. Meanwhile, Donna Odom, Charleston County Mosquito Control superintendent, recommends these 10 ways that all of us can help reduce mosquitoes in our yards:

1) Every three days, flush birdbaths, potted plant saucers and other containers that hold water.

2) Keep yard clean and cut.

3) Remove from your yard any items that hold water and are not needed outside.

4) Keep lawn and gardening equipment indoors.

5) Fix leaky faucets.

6) Keep gutters clean.

7) Fill in tree holes with sand or concrete.

8) Change pet water dishes regularly.

9) Chlorinate pools and clean the pool and filters.

10) Add fish to ponds (they'll feed on the bugs).
