MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCIV) — The Moncks Corner Flag was returned to the mayor on Friday.

The Flag was taken on a tour to Afghanistan and flown overseas by CW2 Brandon Jackson, who grew up in Moncks Corner and attended Berkeley County High School.

“It was really cool to come back and say thank you to those who support us,” said Jackson who is with the South Carolina Army National Guard out of McEntire JNGB in Columbia, S.C.

They flew the flag in style, with the Palmetto Dust Off crew in a Blackhawk UH-60L. The helicopter landed at Moncks Corner Regional Recreational complex. SPC Richard Walls, who is also from Moncks Corner was part of the crew.

“When we started this off, we just trying to fly the flag to the airport in Moncks Corner but then to see the support and all the people that came out, it’s absolutely incredible,” said Jackson.

The flag was a constant reminder that they’re serving their small town.

“It reminds you why you’re over there. When you have long days, quiet nights, lonely nights, or even bad days, you look up and see it and you remember, that’s why I’m here,” said Jackson.

“It shows that small-town America supports us. It supports us in the role we do, while we’re over there thousands of miles away. Away from everything. That flag flew with us all over the place and at times it hung on our wall, and every day you come back in and you take a glance at it and you remember why,” said Jackson.

The flag will be displayed at the town hall. Those who attended the event today were able to meet the crew and get an up-close look at the helicopter.

“We had about half of the town here today which is great. That just shows you the support,” said Moncks Corner Mayor Michael Lockliear. “It’s great to have the Blackhawk land and for the young kids to get out and tour the black hawk and sit in it. You never know it might inspire a young kid to join the military.”

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCBD) – An employee at a Waffle House in Moncks Corner, who affectionately goes by the name Momma, is making a difference in people’s lives.

Miranda Sheltra stopped by the restaurant to have dinner with her family after soccer practice last week when they met Momma and were very impressed with her service.

“My youngest son is very outgoing, he doesn’t meet a stranger,” she said. “So, they just chitchatted, and she brought out these coloring books. She was like, ‘color me a picture so I can hang it on my refrigerator with the rest of them.’ I think she buys these coloring books herself.”

Beverly Jones is better known by the name on her tag, “Momma.” She’s been with the Moncks Corner Waffle House for many years. “Everybody calls me Momma; I was raised here; everybody knows me as Momma – either call me momma or auntie,” she said.

When it comes to the coloring books, Momma said, “I usually do that for the kids so they can (do something) while the foods getting ready, so their parents can enjoy their meal, too, and they just love it”

Miranda took some photos of her kids with Momma following their dinner last week and shared them in the Berkeley County Growth & Development Facebook group.

“That was an exceptional experience that made me post that, and I thought to myself, ‘I can’t be the only one person that has experienced this, so I’m gonna share it.”

The post has gone viral with more than 2,600 likes, 300 comments, and close to 430 shares.

Many people have been commenting on their similar experiences with Momma.

“I get all my blessings from God,” she said. “I don’t have a problem with that. It’s just like I said, my parents raised me to do unto others as you want others to do unto you. I treat people like I want to be treated.”

Miranda says Momma feels like family. “She feels like family. All waitresses, or most of them, are friendly, but she took it to a different level, and I can see why her name tag says Momma.”

Momma says it was just the way she was brought up. “That’s the way I was raised, honey. That’s the way I was raised. I don’t meet a stranger,” she said.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Trident Medical Center is predicting they have avoided about 200 to 250 potential hospitalizations with monoclonal antibody infusions out of about 1,200 infusions since last November.

Donna Livernois says she got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine a few months ago. She is 65 years old, has asthma, and Type-2 diabetes. She tested positive for COVID two weeks ago.

“If anybody was going to end up in the hospital it would be somebody like me,” Livernois said.

She said she was wheezing, had a runny nose, lost her taste and smell, and had covid fog brain. The Taylors woman says after not being able to find monoclonal antibody treatment in her area, her daughter, who lives in Moncks Corner, helped her find that Trident Medical Center was offering the treatment.

She received the treatments on Sept. 30, just two days after testing positive. She says the next morning, she already noticed significant improvements.

“Got up the next morning, I was barely wheezing,” Livernois said. “It was like night and day compared to the way I got down there.”

She says she was a little surprised after testing positive because she was vaccinated.

Trident Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. Lee Biggs says because of her other risk factors, her vaccination status did not play a factor in determining whether or not she could receive the monoclonal antibody treatment.

“It really doesn’t. I mean what we’ve seen with COVID infections and the vaccine is one, you should be less susceptible, but if you do get COVID and you’ve been vaccinated, your disease course should be less severe and shorter,” Biggs said. “But, with an overlay of age or preexisting medical conditions, you’re still at risk. So the vaccine status doesn’t play into whether or not you should get monoclonal antibodies.”

He says the goal of monoclonal antibody treatment is to prevent people at risk of being admitted into the hospital from having to go.

The infusion process takes about 45 minutes, and then patients are monitored for about an hour after, and then they can go home.

“I’m still a little old and creeky, but that’s what’s expected,” Livernois said. “I’m normal and I can talk to you and I have energy and I never went back to the hospital. That was the blessing part.”

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has a full list of medical practices and primary care providers who administer monoclonal antibody treatment.

Biggs says Trident closed its monoclonal antibody clinic last week based on declining referral volumes, but patients qualifying for the treatment can refer themselves to different medical practices and primary care providers.

Moncks Corner, SC – As the fall beckons, the Rudd Plumbing, Heating & Air team has provided some timely advice to keep HVAC equipment in peak performance.

During the autumn in Summerville, SC, the company advises that your HVAC maintenance is two-fold: you need to turn off and clean up the air conditioner, and you need to turn on and maintain the furnace for its upcoming season.

While some tasks can be done, residential and business owners will probably need professional services provided by Rudd Plumbing, Heating & Air to ensure HVAC units are running well.

Their top tips include turning the exterior unit's power off and using a brush to remove any visible debris, such as leaves, near the unit. Then unscrew the cage around the unit and use a vacuum to pull debris out of the unit.

Use a damp cloth to remove dust on any internal parts that can handle this. You can do the same with the fan fins or use your garden hose on a very low setting to remove the dust.

If any fan blades are bent out of shape, you can try to bend them back into place.

A company spokesman said there are a few other things you can do to keep your air conditioner in good condition. These include changing the air conditioner filter, trimming any landscape around the unit and leaving at least three feet of clearance on every side of the outdoor unit.

It is also recommended to cover the unit with its fabric cover. If the unit is old, then a new one may have to be bought as a replacement.

Maintaining your furnace is equally important and will reduce the odds of a breakdown during the winter if it is professionally maintained before you turn it on.

Don't ignore any noise or rattling from an HVAC unit, but if it persists, schedule a proper maintenance check with Rudd Plumbing, Heating & Air.

The company is the only Lowcountry Plumbing and HVAC company that credits the service call back on every call when you move forward with a repair.
