The American Red Cross -- more than just blood
By STEVEN CLEMENTS
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
NOV.
1, 2010 - When you see the Red Cross symbol what comes to mind?
Blood drives!
Clements |
It's
true; blood drives are an important part of what the Red Cross does.
You may also know that the Carolina Lowcountry Chapter of the American
Red Cross aids and comforts local families in times of need. In
the event of fires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, they
are there when we need them. But the Red Cross also offers a wide
range of services that are not as widely known, such as services
to the Armed Forces, veterans, and an abundance of International
Services.
My involvement with the Red Cross started with the most unlikely
of circumstances. Charleston architect and artist Tieu Phi Tran,
a political refugee from Vietnam and one of many Boat People who
fled the aftermath of the Vietnam War, approached me about chronicling
his escape from that country in the form of a book. After several
interviews, his harrowing story unfolded. His sisters were abducted
by pirates in the Gulf of Thailand. He never saw them again. His
story wasn't unique; many of the boat people from Vietnam experienced
similar fates but suffered in silence, distrustful of government
officials.
I
understood that writing his story might bring the type of awareness
he was looking for but I wanted to do something to help bring closure.
What had become of his sisters? Despite this desire, the looming
elephant in the room was that nearly 30 years had passed since the
incident happened halfway around the world. What could we do now
that so much time had passed?
 A
little snooping on the Web turned up information about family tracing
services offered by the Red Cross for families separated from their
loved ones due to armed conflict or natural disaster. A little more
digging at the local chapter website and Tieu and I found ourselves
in an orientation class for volunteers taught by Eileen Hadbavny,
the local chapter's International Services Chairperson.
After
the class, we discussed the case with Eileen. Despite the time that
had passed, she assured us that the Red Cross would take the case.
In fact, the RC is still taking cases from World War II. The American
Red Cross Holocaust and War Victims Tracing Center is dedicated
to helping reunite families separated due to the Holocaust. (I have
had the pleasure of assisting a Holocaust family as a case worker
here in Charleston.) September 23rd marked twenty years of Red Cross
assistance to family members of Holocaust victims separated over
60 years ago.
Suddenly,
Tieu had hope. The case was accepted and messages were sent to the
Thailand and Vietnam Red Cross chapters requesting assistance with
the search. Regretfully, we received word back that they had exhausted
their efforts to discover the fate of his sisters. Yet, it is still
a comfort to Tieu that the case is permanently on file should something
turn up.
Now,
over a year later I serve as the vice chairman on the International
Services Committee. In addition to performing family tracing services
for others, we are working on a host of other services, such as
The Measles Initiative and our current campaign to Vaccinate a Village.
For those of us in the United States, it is hard to imagine that
over 450 children die each day due to complications from a disease
that is totally preventable.
The
great news is that it only costs the Red Cross $1 to vaccinate one
child. For more information, about International Services in the

"Invest"
isn't a dirty word
By ANDY BRACK, publisher
OCT.
29, 2010 – It’s amazing how one little word can have two
vastly different meanings.
Brack |
The
word? “Invest.”
If
you talk to just about any financial adviser and ask about a tried-and-true,
conservative strategy for planning for your retirement, it won’t
be long before you hear: “Invest early and invest often.”
But
the politician who touts the exactly same conservative strategy
– that states, like individuals, need to invest early to reap
bigger, good rewards over the longer term – is lambasted as
a liberal of the worst sort who wants to tax and spend you to death.
Where’s
the sense in that? The guy who conservatively invests his own money
for a long-term personal reward isn’t trying to do anything
different if he tries to get the state to invest now so it can have
a big payoff down the road.
South
Carolina politicians – Democrats and Republicans – need
to stop drinking the Kool-aid that the only thing they can do in
the face of withering state dollars is to cut more and more of state
government. In fact, they can restructure the state’s antiquated
tax system to make it fairer, raise some taxes and lower others
to generate a larger revenue stream. In the short term, it might
hurt your wallet a little, but if the state wisely uses the revenue
to invest in education, research, infrastructure and business development,
it will reap huge rewards in just a few years.
If
you don’t believe that, just look to the example of South Carolina’s
sister state – Queensland in Australia.
Former
Premier Peter Beattie recently has been making a series of lectures
in the Palmetto State about how Queensland was able to transform
itself in less than two decades from a relatively non-diverse economy
that suffered huge educational challenges to a vibrant “Smart
State” on the leading edge of science and business across the
world.
“The
capital of the Smart State was once a large sleepy country town
with a wonderful outdoor lifestyle but a narrow political climate
stymieing creativity and a lack of opportunities saw a mass exodus
of talent interstate and overseas,” he said last week in Charleston
at a speech at MUSC. “That is now a thing of the past.”
Sound
familiar? How did Queensland, which mirrors South Carolina’s
population at 4.4 million people, turn the corner?
Through
strategic investment. Over nine years, the state of Queensland invested
more than $3 billion in world-class research and facilities that
stressed global collaboration with the best minds around. Queensland’s
investment generated 10 medical research institutes that are benchmarked
against the world. They have global alliances that have spawned
remarkable scientific discoveries that have been commercialized
into money and jobs.
And
boy, has Queensland’s investment paid off. Today, Beattie said
the Australian state’s life sciences sector employs almost
20,000 people in high-paying jobs, more than two thirds of which
are in the private sector handling the fruit of the research that
the state invested in. Furthermore, the total income across Queensland’s
life science industry was estimated to be $5 billion in 2009 –
almost $2 billion more than in 2007.
In
other words, incomes grew almost $2 billion over two years as the
state invested $3 billion over nine years. Talk about a stellar
return. And think about how the people who got new jobs from the
$2 billion in income now are paying taxes. In turn, that fuels the
state to make smarter investments – and potentially lower tax
rates over time because of additional government revenues now being
generated.
“The
commercialization of brain power and innovation will drive the world’s
economic future,” Beattie concluded. “But it will require
the support of government, the private sector and our research universities
in long-term strategic planning and investment.”
Memo
to South Carolina politicians: Learn from the “Smart State,”
our sister state. And add the conservative word “invest”
to your vocabulary so that it isn’t a dirty word, but the foundation
of our state’s future.

Demand
increases for Goodwill's veterans services
In
just one day last week, Goodwill Industries served 1,156 people
and provided more than $40,000 in clothing vouchers to the area's
homeless.
 In
the 11 years that Goodwill and the Veterans Administration have
sponsored their Stand Down for Homelessness event, more than 17,000
homeless veterans and other local homeless people have received
more than $600,000 in clothing vouchers as well as medical, dental
and employment services, not to mention a hot meal, a sleeping bag
and new undergarments.
"While
Goodwill and the VA partner to put on the Stand Down each year,
Goodwill's commitment to our veterans does not end there,"
said Robert Smith, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries. "We
provide ongoing employment services and clothing assistance throughout
the year."
 Goodwill
previously participated in a grant-funded initiative to help homeless
veterans back into the workforce. When the grant was not renewed
in 2009, Goodwill decided that the need was too great to discontinue
the program and committed $200,000 in direct funding. Two years
ago, Goodwill partnered with Low Country Harley to host a Motorcycle
Rally that collects new undergarments that are distributed during
the two-day Stand Down event, held last Thursday and Friday.
"During
the 11-year history of the Stand Down, other partner agencies along
with Goodwill and the VA have been instrumental in providing outreach
to our veterans," Smith said. "Each year the partnerships
grow and we could not do this without the support of businesses
such as Howard Barber and Styling College, who provides haircuts,
and agencies such as the Social Security Commission, S.C. Legal
Services, Good Neighbor Center, Crisis Ministries, Tri-county Family
Ministries, Elk Lodge, Red Cross, NAMI, Veteran Advocates, S.C.
Veteran Affairs, TTC Upward Bound program, Friendship Baptist Church
who provides services, and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief,
who provides hot meals during the event."
As
troops return from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Goodwill expects
to see the need for services increase, Smith said. "The goal
is to help transition our returning Veterans back into the workforce
so we won't see them at the Stand Down."

employment services for veterans, or call 843-566-0072.
Auction raises record-breaking
sum for Operation Home
Operation Home's 2010 Drum-It-Up Auction, held Oct. 24, broke records
and raised more than $126,000.
Business
owners and individuals donated more than 60 auction items for a
capacity crowd of bidders at Mount Pleasant's Red Drum Restaurant.
"We are more than thrilled with the success of this year's
auction," said Anna Hamilton, executive director of Operation
Home. "We couldn't do our work without the support of the community,
and it is clear that the greater Lowcountry community cares passionately
about helping us provide a safe, accessible home for every person.
We can't wait to get to work helping more families, and $126,000
will allow us to help more families than we've ever been able to
before."
Founded in 1997, Operation Home will use the money to support its
critical home repair program, which is on track to serve 50 families
this year. A total of 230 families are on the waiting list to be
served.
Past county
school board chairmen endorse referendum
New at a press conference |
Past
chairmen of the Charleston County School Board last week announced
full support of the School Improvement Referendum that will appear
on county voters' ballots Tuesday.
Past
chairs included in the endorsement include Brian Moody, Robert New,
Liz Alston, Nancy Cook, Gregg Meyers, and Toya Hampton Green.
If
passed, the referendum will provide funding to alleviate overcrowding,
improve classrooms and upgrade technology in 13 district schools.
In addition, four downtown Charleston schools categorized as seismically
hazardous will be rebuilt from funding. In total, the School Improvement
Referendum will provide $450 million for the 17 area schools.

ACE
Basin refuge offers habitat for endangered species
Established in 1990, the Ernest F. Hollings ACE
Basin National Wildlife Refuge is part of the federal system
of refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge
represents the federal role in the larger ACE Basin Project
with two units, one on the Combahee River and the other on the Edisto
River.
An osprey, one of the endangered species found in the refuge. |
The
headquarters for the NWR is located at the Grove, a rice plantation
begun in 1825 on the Edisto River. The plantation house dates from
1828 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places
in 1978. The Nature Conservancy purchased the Grove in 1991 and
sold it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service the following year.
With
a total of nearly twelve thousand acres, the ACE Basin NWR is managed
for wildlife with careful attention given to habitat preservation.
The estuary is home to a wide variety of birds, fish, and game,
including such endangered and threatened species as wood storks,
osprey, bald eagles, and shortnose sturgeon. Limited public fishing
and hunting for deer and waterfowl are permitted. With the completion
of additional purchases, the future size of the refuge may reach
eighteen thousand acres.
The
refuge contains canals and dikes from the days when the land was
home to large rice plantations. Through control of water levels,
the former rice fields are used to encourage habitats for waterfowl
and other bird species. Additionally, the NWR uses controlled burning
as a tool for creating and maintaining habitat for turkey, quail,
and songbirds.

Five for
your skin
Germain |
Although it's
not consistently chilly yet, we can feel the winter coming on in
the Lowcountry. With the change in the seasons comes the need to
change up your skin care routine.
We asked Dr.
Marguerite Germain of Germain Dermatology to give us five ways to
winterize our skin.
- Wash
in cool water. Hot water can deplete the oils from your skin.
- Don't
use a washcloth.
They are too harsh to use on your delicate skin.
- Use a
soap-free cleanser.
Try a glycolic acid-based cleanser that can help turn the skin
over without drying it out.
- Moisturize
within 3 minutes
after showering or bathing to lock in moisture.
- Be sure
to use sunscreens
that contain physical blocks such as titanium dioxide or zinc
oxide. Sunscreens should be used all year long.
Dr. Marguerite
Germain is a board-certified dermatologist with a practice in Mount
Pleasant. For more information, visit www.germaindermatology.com.
