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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.
Upcoming
Gibbes exhibit will feature self-taught artists
A
new exhibit that opens at the Gibbes Museum of Art in July will
celebrate the ongoing contributions of self-taught black artists

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.

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).
