NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WJBF) – This week, students all over the country are celebrating Read Across America Week.

The National Education Association started Read Across America in 1998 to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s impact on reading across the world.

Students celebrate reading this week as a tribute to Dr. Seuss during the anniversary of his birthday, which is March 2.

Daily activities are planned like guest readers and dressing up as your favorite book character. Many schools also celebrate with a character parade.

The goal of these events is to get children and teens reading, which helps them with language skills and to excel in in other subjects in school.

Allyson Long is the principal at Belvedere Elementary. She said students are still playing catch up from learning loss because of the pandemic.

“We definitely saw a dip the first year with the school report cards that came out last year. But we are very excited that our map score from this year show that we are jumping back,” she said. “Are we all the way back to where we were before school closure? No. But we have definitely at least cut that gap in half.”

Education is a partnership between schools and parents. Long said there is one big thing parents can do at home to help their kids catch up.

“One of the biggest things is truly reading at home. Reading one book a night equals 365 books a year. And that gives those students a huge advantage. And for a lot of our students, we want them to see the purpose behind learning how to read, which is why you do read aloud, so they can see, oh it tells a story and I want to hear more. And oh, now I have the ability to read that myself,” Long explained.

A couple of fun fact about Dr. Seuss–“Green Eggs and Ham” was written when a friend bet him he couldn’t write a book using just 50 words.

And his first book “And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street” was rejected 27 times before it was finally published.

Hi friends! My name is Katelyn, and I am on the Hoofstock Care Team here at Zoo Atlanta. If you have visited us before, you probably know the Zoo’s two male reticulated giraffes as Etana and Isooba. Surprise! Their names are actually Calvin (Etana) and Lennard (Isooba). Etana and Isooba were names given to them when they arrived at Zoo Atlanta, and they were used by the public teams. However, “Calvin” and “Lennard” were still the names used by their animal care professionals behind the scenes. Why am I telling you this now, you might ask? Zoo-wide, we are phasing out of using their Atlanta-given names and are using their birth names everywhere to eliminate any confusion. So next time you visit us, you might hear Education or Giraffe Care Team members calling them by different names. Don’t you fret! They’re the same giraffes we have all come to know and love.

Now that you’ve officially met, here are some fun facts and quirks about our boys. Calvin and Lennard are two half-brothers who were born in 2011 at the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, S.C. They then joined the Zoo Atlanta family in 2013. Personality-wise, Calvin and Lennard can have different moods, just as we can. They are both quite spunky. Our boys are also very curious and fairly interactive with their care team. Keepers and guests have both witnessed them very intently watching random objects or listening for noises in the distance. They can be especially nosey when we are hanging food or browse for them.

Speaking of hanging food, what’s the purpose of that? Wow! What a great question! Giraffe are known as “browsers.” This means they eat mainly vegetation at approximately six feet and higher. Because of this, the care team hangs most of their food to encourage that natural feeding behavior. In their diet is a mixture of grain, beet pulp, and an arrangement of produce. We also bundle browse, which is basically branches and twigs. Because Georgia has different vegetation than the African savanna, we have an amazing Horticulture Team that collects local tree species deemed safe for the giraffes to eat. They especially love elm, mulberry, and honeysuckle.

Well, that’s all for now, folks! Thanks for learning more about our tall friends. If you would like to learn more about Calvin and Lennard, or any of the Zoo’s hoofstock friends, make sure to stop by Twiga Terrace on your next visit to Zoo Atlanta. The Giraffe Care Team and Education Team are always happy to answer any questions you have or tell you more fun facts about them. We hope to see you soon!

JACKSON — Mulberry Drugs, a new locally-owned independent pharmacy, opened its doors on the square in Jackson on Monday, Nov. 7. Just four days later, the pharmacy had already welcomed 200 transfer customers from other pharmacies.

The new retail pharmacy is owned and operated by Becky Black, Keith Jones and Stacey (Hamlin) Patterson. Jones serves as the pharmacist and Black and Patterson are pharmacy technicians. The three partners brainstormed several potential names for their pharmacy before settling on Mulberry Drugs.

“We didn’t want to go with City Pharmacy or Jackson Drugs,” Patterson said. “We settled on Mulberry Drugs because of the street we are located on.”

Butts County residents should have no problem embracing the location as a pharmacy as it is the former location of City Pharmacy. Jeff Patterson and Danny Patterson sold the pharmacy to CVS in Jackson in 2017. They continued to operate as a long term care pharmacy from the location to meet the prescription needs of personal care homes.

In 2019, the Patterson brothers sold the long term care pharmacy to Black, Jones and Stacey Patterson. Black continued to work at Jackson LTC in the former City Pharmacy location.

“Sadly, Jackson LTC lost a lot of customers to COVID,” Patterson said. “We are building up patients again now.”

The partners made the decision to move forward with opening a retail pharmacy as well in May of 2021.

“It took a year to get going on the retail side because we had to build a wall at the back of the store, get a business license, state pharmacy license, insurance and inspections,” Jones said.

Customers with tricare insurance have been especially receptive to the new pharmacy.

“Tricare is insurance provided for veterans, active military and those with VA coverage,” he said. “If you live here, you don’t want to drive to the VA in Atlanta to get your prescriptions. Now they don’t have to.”

And, homebound patients will be happy to hear that the pharmacy offers delivery inside the Jackson city limits.

Patterson says she knows the new business will experience some “hiccups” like all new businesses, but they plan to focus on their customers’ needs. She is busy adding items to the store’s inventory.

“Our goal is to get people what they need when they need it,” Jones said. “And we will be offering flu shots as soon as we get state approval.”

The three partners have worked closely with one another for years as they worked together at City Pharmacy.

Black, a graduate of Newton County High School, began working at City Pharmacy in 2009.

Jones, a 2009 graduate of Jackson High School, worked at City Pharmacy as a delivery driver while he was in college. He graduated from Mercer University College of Pharmacy in 2017 and began working as a pharmacist at CVS and Jackson LTC. He left CVS in 2019.

Patterson graduated from Jackson High School in 2005. She worked at CVS as an assistant manager for three years before joining City Pharmacy in 2009. She began as a cashier, later managed the gift section and then moved into pharmacy work. She earned an associates degree in science and pharmacy technology in 2015 from Southern Crescent Technical College. She stayed on in 2017 at Jackson LTC but also worked at CVS for two years after City Pharmacy was sold. (She is married to Alex Patterson, the son of Danny and Penny Patterson.)

Local pharmacists Betsy Collier Crowder and Katherine Carmichael are also members of the Mulberry Drugs staff.

“Our pharmacy feels more hometown with us being on the square,” Patteson said. “We handed out candy on the square and we are planning to hand out candy canes at the Christmas parade.”

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — Over 600 acres of historical and ecological significance is now protected along the Cooper River in Berkeley County. It's now called the Lewisfield Preserve.

The conservation partners behind the effort include The Open Space Institute, Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust, and Lowcountry Land Trust.

Over 600 acres along Berkeley County's Cooper River now protected as Lewisfield Preserve (WCIV)

"Over the past three decades, conservation groups and landowners have permanently secured more than 50,000 acres in Berkeley County, including the sites of some of America’s earliest European and African American settlements. The newly established Lewisfield Preserve represents a vital addition to the protected landscape along the Cooper River – near the northern edge of the Charleston metropolitan area," the Lowcountry Land Trust said in a press release.

The Lewisfield Preserve encompasses inland, non-tidal rice fields, which are a feature of Colonial agriculture that is "virtually unknown" today, according to the land trust. Inland fields were only used for a few decades and most had been abandoned and reverted to bottomland forests of red and white oak, hickory, black gum, tupelo, and bald cypress trees.

The land trust said the creation of South Carolina's rice industry by enslaved Africans has been compared to the building of the pyramids in regards to the labor and expertise involved.

The land has even more historical significance as the site of an important skirmish in the Revolutionary War- the Battle of Lewisfield in 1781.

A group of men were making their way across the preserve for breakfast when they surprised a group of 78 British soldiers loading two ships at the wharf. They captured the British soldiers and burned the ships with very little violence, according to the land trust.

In addition to being historical, the Lewisfield Preserve is one of the region's highest priority conservation targets biologically with forests and diverse wetlands.

“OSI is honored to have protected this world-class wildlife habitat while preserving a direct link to our Colonial-era history. We salute Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust, Lowcountry Land Trust (LLT), and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) for their partnership and tireless efforts to protect South Carolina’s natural, historical and cultural heritage," said Nate Berry, Open Space Institute Senior Vice President.

Over the last 30 years, these partners have permanently protects dozens of properties along the Cooper River, including Medway Plantation, a 7,000-acre property featuring the oldest masonry house in the state; Mulberry Plantation, with one of the finest examples of Jacobean architecture in the New World; and 3,000-acre Mepkin Abbey, formerly the home of Henry and Clair Booth Luce and now a beloved Cistercian monastery.
