The Island News celebrates five years

By Kim Harding

Exactly five years ago, my sister Elizabeth and I took a huge leap of faith. With little experience in the newspaper world, we asked you, the community and the local businesses, to take a chance and “Catch the New Wave.”

This patient town jumped on board, and what a wild ride it has been.

Launching a new business is always a challenge. Launching in mid-April 2008 turned out to be nearly impossible. Just

a few months after our first paper hit the streets, the stock market crashed and America figured out that the real estate bubble had just popped.

Although Beaufort residents and local businesses were excited to have a newspaper that focused only on Northern Beaufort news, the advertising dollars that were needed to support a weekly paper were hard to find.

Couple the “great recession” with the fact that designing ads, writing articles and delivering

papers were not things that Lady’s Isla we had done before, and you nd News can see that it has been an uphill climb. Although we had experience publishing monthly magazines, we had never worked on a weekly deadline with weekly Catch th Lady’s Islan e New Wave... d News has expenses.

Welcome arrived! to your La dy’s Island News Slowly we have built an incredible team. Thanks to their skills, their In This Iss ue willingness to work with our small budget,

news news briefS Sheriff ’s Office looking for shooting suspect

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting incident that left one man injured on St. Helena on Thursday, April 11.

Just before 10 p.m., sheriff ’s deputies responded to a home on Saxonville Road in reference to a reported gunshot victim.

Upon arrival, they made contact with a 40-year old male suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim advised that the shooting occurred outside a home on Shiney Rd. The victim had been standing outside the residence, visiting with several other individuals, when a male subject suddenly approached and began shooting at him. After firing several rounds, one of which struck the victim in the leg, the suspect was seen fleeing the area on foot.

Realizing that he had been shot, the victim got into his car and called 911 as he drove to his Saxonville Rd home.

The victim advised that he believed the shooting may have been related to an ongoing dispute he’d been having with an acquaintance over money.

The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released for non-life threatening injury. At this time, no suspect has been positively identified.

The Sheriff ’s Office encourages anyone with information to contact either Investigator Cpl. L. Resto at 843255-3510 or Crimestoppers.

PALS offers course on lifeguarding at pool

Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services (PALS) will hold an American Red Cross Lifeguarding Course at the Charles “Lind” Brown Outdoor Swimming Pool, 1710 Green Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902.

Participants must be 15 years of age by the last day of the course and take a prerequisite swim assessment before being accepted into the class. One must be able to swim 300 yards continuously using the front crawl and breaststroke. Swim 20 yards, retrieve a 10-pound object from the bottom of the pool, swim 20 yards with the object and exit the pool without using the steps within 1 minute and 40 seconds, and tread water with no hands for 2 minutes.

The prerequisite swim assessment will take place Thursday, May 2, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the Beaufort Indoor Swimming Pool, 35 Youmans Drive, Beaufort. Only the first 12 participants who pass the prerequisite swim assessment and pay will be eligible for entry into each class.

For more information, visit www. bcgov.net/PALS or call Anny Binette at 843-255-6795.

Options available for residents to properly handle yard debris With the springtime yard cleaning and live oak leaf-falling in full swing, Beaufort city leaders urge residents to follow rules for disposing of yard debris to help keep drainage systems clear.

Late last year, Beaufort earned a better flood insurance rating for its upgraded drainage and stormwater management system. However, recent heavy rains, coupled with the annual leaf fall and residents’ efforts to keep lawns clear, have put too much debris onto the streets, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.

Leaves blown into the street can cover and clog drainage grates and pipes. They also can damage the city’s street sweeper, which isn’t designed to sweep up heavy loads of leaves or other yard debris, Dadson said.

“We need everyone’s help on this,” he said. “Blowing leaves onto the street seems like a simple solution to cleaning up your yard, but it creates major problems now and in the future. The city team worked hard to upgrade our drainage system to get better flood insurance rates for residents and businesses. We need everyone’s help to maintain the drainage system.”

Within the city limits, it’s against the law to damage or obstruct any ditch, drain or watercourse, with fines of twice the damage done. It’s also

illegal to put any debris in ditches along roads or property boundaries that drain land in any direction.

“It can be a resident blowing or raking leaves onto the street a few times a year or landscapers and yard crews doing it every week,” said Isiah Smalls, Beaufort’s Director of Public Works. “We are reminding people in the city of how to properly deal with yard debris, and our crews will be checking up on violators.”

Ten bags or less of yard debris — typically grass clippings or bagged leaves — will be picked up on regular city garbage days if the bags are heavyweight yard bags and are twisted or tied closed.

When there are more than 10 bags of yard debris, or branches that need removed, pick-up is done on Thursdays and Fridays using a special truck. A resident can ensure pick-up of large quantities of bags or branches before the weekend by placing these items out before Thursday and calling Waste Pro at 645-4100 and requesting a special pick up.

Yard debris is taken to a special soil reclamation center operated by Waste Pro where the leaves, grass and branches are burned, then mixed with soil to create compost — which in turn is used by The Greenery to improve landscaping on city property.

Where’d You Get That?

Lady’s Island notes

By Jim Hicks

City Desires to Annex Inlet Road. To facilitate the construction of the new Publix on the property between the Sherwin Williams store on Sea Island Parkway and Barbara Jean’s Restaurant on Lady’s Island Drive, the City of Beaufort has agreed to request the South Carolina Department of Transportation transfer the easement for the 800 foot Inlet Road to the City of Beaufort which will then annex the property and transfer it to the Publix developer for use in their project. The owners of the property on the other side of Inlet Road have reportedly agreed to this action. If SCDOT agrees to the request to transfer the property to the city, the new zoning would be General Commercial which is the same zoning as the remainder of the Publix project..

The Lending Room Drop Off/Pick Up Changes Location. The Lending Room is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that lends gently used medical equipment to individuals regardless of income, age or insurance status.

It aims to connect those who need medical equipment with unwanted items that would otherwise collect dust in an attic or be discarded. Operating in Beaufort since 1961, the organization accepts and loans medical equipment in good condition such as walkers, canes, crutches, shower chairs, bedside commodes and wheelchairs. Other types of medical equipment will be considered. To arrange to donate or borrow items, please contact the Lending Room at (843) 524-2554. The new pick-up/drop-off location is at Helena House Assisted Living at 1624 Paris Ave., Port Royal, SC 29935 directly across the street from the Port Royal Post Office. Arrangements to drop off large items must be made in advance.

WED~Wedding.Event.Design Opens New Point Office. Wedding.Event.

Design (WED) has recently opened an office in the New Point complex on Lady’s Island. WED’s main office is located in Charleston and so the extension of the Beaufort office allows WED to service clients throughout the Lowcountry.

Founded in 1998 by Mrs. Katie V. Huebel, Wedding.Event.Design has been designing weddings and events not only in Charleston and Beaufort markets, but also in Charlotte, Savannah, New York City and Saint John Virgin Island. In 2012 WED opened an office in New York City after realizing a need for both a support system for WED clients from the north as well as an opportunity to bring Southern Hospitality to events in New York City. WED will enthusiastically travel anywhere a client chooses as their destination. We welcome WED to Lady’s Island, wish them every success and thank Mrs. Huebel for selecting our island as the location for a branch of her business.

Beaufort Bread Company Under Construction. The site of the former Substation II/Carolina Deli in the Lady’s Island Shopping Center is undergoing intense renovation to prepare for the anticipated May opening of the Beaufort Bread Company. This new artisan bakery and café will offer artisan style breads and pastries, house-made fresh pastas, handcrafted sausages, as well as a full selection of breakfast and lunch items featuring local ingredients. And, at last, we have a spot on the Island to stop for a fresh brewed coffee or Espresso on the way to work. Owners and managers of the Beaufort Bread Company, Rick Stone and his wife, Deborah, have lived on Lady’s Island for 8 years and are very excited to start a business to benefit the island. You can check out the bakery and follow its progress on their new website www.beaufortbread.com.

The Grooming Cottage Relocates. The pet grooming business The Grooming Cottage has relocated from the Lady’s Island Shopping Center (behind the Huddle House Restaurant on Sea Island Parkway) to Oakwood Plaza II on Sams Point Road in the unit beside the ComCast office.

The Doggie Lama Expands. The Doggie Lama (252-2060) a Lady’s Island business which provides day care, professional training and overnight boarding for dogs is expanding from its location on Meadowbrook Drive to an additional site on Robin Drive in the former location for the Trophy Case. Ms. Linda Coyner, CPDT, CPG owner, operator and nationally certified professional trainer of the Doggie Lama reports that an indoor training site is needed for puppy preschool training, advanced training sessions and during periods of inclement weather.

If the new facility on Robin Drive proves successful it will become a permanent addition to The Doggie Lama Welcome to Carolina Sun Tanning Salon. Ms. Samantha Shirley, owner and manager, of Carolina Sun Tanning Salon (843.476.7890) located at 12 Fairfield Road in the commercial complex across from New Point is in her first year of business at the present site. She previously operated a similar facility in the Lady’s Island Shopping Center and closed it to allow her to return to school and additional professional training for the last three year. Her new business offers single tanning sessions or unlimited monthly packages plus a 10% military discount.

New Business at New Point. The Kitchen at New Point, located in the former Berry Island Restaurant site, in the New Point commercial complex has recently opened and has been well received by the community. This new catering business prepares home cooked family style meals available for delivery or pick up. A menu is sent out via email on Thursdays for the following week. Customers place orders for meals by Monday morning and they will have your meal prepared and delivered (within reasonable distances) between 1 and 5 p.m. on the day requested to either your home or business. Catering for special occasions is also available.

We thank Ms. Leigh Ann Pingree, owner and manager of the Kitchen at New Point for choosing Lady’s Island as the location of her new business. Please email her at beaufortkitchen@gmail.com if you would like to be included on her weekly menu distribution.

By Chief Bruce Kline

How is the Fire District organized?

The Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District was created by state law in 1972 as a special purpose district (Act No. 1727). The district is governed by a Board of Fire Control (Commission) composed of five members appointed by the governor.

How is the Fire District funded?

The fire district is funded by taxes levied upon all taxable property in the district. The budget is prepared by the fire chief, presented to the commission for approval and then to the County Council for final approval.

How many employees does the district have?

The district has a total of 65 employees, 60 shift personnel, four administrative/command personnel and one administrative person. The shift personnel work a 24 hour shift each third day and are led by a battalion chief and two lieutenants. The minimum manning per shift is 16 personnel; with five stations this minimum manning provides three firefighters per station and a supervisor/battalion chief.

How many requests for service

In 2012, the Lady’s Island- St. Helena Fire District had 2,345 total calls for service. does the Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District respond to on an average year?

In the year of 2011, the district had 2,310 total calls for service; in 2012 we had 2,345 total calls for service.

What is the size of the area for which the fire district is responsible?

The response district is more than 144 square miles.

Who responds to fires in those Lady’s Island homes and businesses that have been annexed into the city?

The district has an automatic-aid contract with the City of Beaufort. We respond to all calls for service in the annexed areas, the City of Beaufort pays the district on an annual basis for those services.

Why do the fire trucks respond to medical emergencies?

Travel distance and time to the medical emergency have much to

do with it. We have five fire stations strategically located in the fire district for quick response, as compared to EMS which operates out of two of our stations. Our firefighters are medically trained and are capable of life saving action should they arrive first. Our firefighters respond with EMS and this is called the first responder program.

What is the average response time?

The average response time for 2012 was 5 minutes, 36 seconds.

What is the relationship of the fire district and the County Emergency Medical Service (EMS)?

Our relationship is excellent; we enjoy a close and cooperative rapport.

For example, the EMS units on Lady’s Island and St. Helena Island are housed in fire district stations. This includes accommodations for EMS crews.

How is the fire district preparing for future growth?

With the completion of the planned new headquarters and station on Lady’s Island Drive, Lady’s Island- St. Helena Fire District should be well positioned to handle growth well into the future, as long as zoning density remains basically the same.

Beaufort Memorial nurse receives DAISY award Beaufort Memorial nurse Geneva Baxley was just looking for a way to help a young Parris Island recruit pass the time while being treated at the hospital.

“He was from out of town, so he had no visitors,” the 28-year-old registered nurse said. “I could see he was restless and anxious lying there all day in his hospital bed. He needed a distraction.”

Nothing Harry Potter couldn’t cure.

Baxley came up with the idea of creating a DVD library for the medical, surgical and oncology patients on the fifth floor where she works. With the help of her department director and other nurses on the ward, she put together a collection of more than 30 movies patients can watch on a portable DVD player.

“It was a small thing,” Baxley said. “It’s really not a big deal compared to what most nurses do for their patients.”

But the compassionate gesture earned her the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go above and beyond the call of duty. Last week, hospital administrators surprised her with the award during the middle of her shift.

“It’s an example of the kind of care she offers her patients,” said Fifth Floor Assistant Director Nancy Fu, who nominated Baxley for the award. “She’s

Beaufort Memorial Hospital nurse Geneva Baxley was presented with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses last week in a surprise ceremony at the hospital. The national tribute is reserved for Registered Nurses who go above and beyond the call of duty. Baxley’s father, Mal Hyman, left, her husband ER physician Luke Baxley and her mother-in-law Kathy Baxley were on hand to share the event with her.

not just there dispensing medicine and changing dressings. She looks at the whole person and does what she can to make a difficult experience as easy as possible.”

Unaware she had been nominated, Baxley was caught off guard when she was called in last Wednesday morning to speak to her supervisor.

“She had a very serious look on her face,” Baxley recounted. “I thought I was in trouble.”

The nurse was escorted into the family consultation room where she found BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey, two dozen of her co-workers, her husband and her father and motherin-law who had driven to Beaufort from Hartsville to attend the presentation.

Baxley was given an engraved vase full of daisies and a trophy titled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a hand-carved sculpture created by artists of the Shona Tribe in

Zimbabwe.

The DAISY Award was created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before he died. It has since been adopted by healthcare facilities all over the U.S. Anyone can nominate a BMH nurse for the prestigious award.

Applications are available throughout the hospital.

“We have an outstanding team of nurses, so we get a lot of nominations,” said BMH Human Resources Manager Chris Watson. “Geneva really stood out because she went beyond her duties as a nurse to help her patients.”

The Beaufort resident donated 15 DVDs from her own personal collection to the fledgling library. They included “Little Miss Sunshine,” “The Perfect Storm,” episodes of “Seinfeld” and “Harry Potter.”

An email she sent out to her coworkers requesting DVD donations brought in another 15 or so movies.

Equally enthusiastic about the idea, her department director, Dot Rucker, purchased a portable DVD player that can be set up on the over-the-bed hospital room tables.

“It can be very stressful waiting for tests or test results,” Baxley said. “I thought a movie would be a nice diversion.”

Left brain, be quiet ... repeat

By Martha O’Regan

At the request of several folks who have found this particular topic helpful, I am re-running this article. If you have any interest in the brain or supporting someone with stroke recovery, I highly recommend the book “Stroke of Insight”

by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor or watching her 18 minute TED video on YouTube. Through her own experience with a stroke, she shares insights into our ability to use both sides of our brain independently and that through the use of the “right” mind, we have amazing capabilities to heal and to find nirvana by choice. This insight gives us great power to choose to live our lives very differently.

To simplify, our left brain is our ”thinking” brain and our right brain is our “feeling” brain. The left brain judges, reasons and analyzes. Our right brain is our creative brain, where we visualize, express emotions or receive intuitions. The left brain is the chatter brain, the one that sometimes simply won’t be quiet, thinks it knows best but more often, the one that gets in the way and keeps us stuck in

Live Well ... Have Fun A trick I have learned is when the chatter brain is on a roll and I tune into how I feel, I can simply think “left brain, be quiet” and tune into a feeling of peace, joy, compassion from the right brain.

Offering a unique approach to your active health care needs using a variety of healing modalities, nutritional and wellness coaching for a new state of health and well-being.

negative patterns or behaviors.

As an example, you’re probably familiar with the left brain when you’re thinking about a person that you need to have a difficult conversation with and you go into the internal point/counter point dialogue. “I’ll say this, she’ll say that, then I’ll say that, then she’ll say this’,” and on and on and on ... repeat. This can go on for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years. Have you ever noticed these dialogues seldom go the way you thought they would, and because it is often calculated with an energy of defense or “I am rightness,” they often spiral so far away from their intended track, that now

matters are worse? Or, is this just me?

It has been said that we have 25,000 thoughts per day and that the majority are negative, such as worry, fear, judgment or anger. Unless we are paying attention, we don’t even realize it, yet these thoughts are controlling our physiology constantly, whether we are paying attention or not.

A trick I have learned is when the chatter brain is on a roll and I tune into how I feel, I can simply think,“left brain, be quiet” and tune into a feeling of peace, joy, compassion from the right brain. It is amazing to feel the discernible shift within the brain and body. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat it every few seconds or minutes until the negative loop pattern is broken, but with practice, it becomes easier.

Try it at night when you are awakened at 2 a.m. for what seems like no apparent

reason. When you catch your chatterbox left brain start to think about yesterday, tomorrow or next year, or chewing about all of the things you forgot to do or the things that yet to be done in the future, or getting frustrated looking at the clock knowing you have to get up in a couple of hours, simply think “left brain, be quiet,” focus on breathing deeply through the nose into the abdomen and feel what happens.

Allow your right brain to feel the bliss of the moment, repeat as necessary until you drift back to sleep. With practice, you create a new pattern in the brain making it much easier to fall and stay asleep.

Remember that you have great power in how you use your mind, so choose your 25, 000 thoughts to empower your personal health, happiness and success.

Live Well ... Have Fun!

Why is da Vinci single incision gallbladder surgery better?

Jenny Brown can tell you. When facing a highly invasive option, she looked to Beaufort Memorial for a better answer. She found a surgeon trained in next-generation da Vinci Si robotic technology who could remove the gallbladder through a one-inch incision in her belly button, as opposed to four traditional incisions. With virtually no scar and a quick recovery, Jenny is back on her feet–and in step with her best friend.

The Sons of Beaufort Lacrosse team

Anarchy was just not enough The Sons of Beaufort Lacrosse team played perhaps their most intense game in club history Saturday, but came up just short of advancing in the South Division of the American Lacrosse Association. The roller coaster score came to rest with the Savannah Christian Raiders advancing over the Sons of Beaufort 12-10 despite a long hard fought match.

Down three in the first quarter, the Sons rallied to a 5-4 lead at the half over cross border rivals the Savannah Christian Raiders. It was late in the third when the Sons stretched out to a 9-5 lead and had a glimpse of their first ever championship. The Raiders were not about to lay down their sticks and go quietly back to Savannah though, as the clock wound down to two minutes left and the Raiders tied the score at ten. It was then that the real battle began for both teams.

The next two minutes of play rivaled that of college lacrosse as players on both sides of the field took a combined 18 shots on goals and traversed the field in endless assault. In the end however, it was Savannah Christian that snuck two shots into the goal to win the game and advance to the next level of the championship bracket. “In just four years of existence, the Sons of Beaufort have made it to the championship level of high school lacrosse. That is something all the boys should be extremely proud of!� stated John Marsh father of one of the players.

Despite falling short the boys are already talking about next season and their continued quest for the coveted South Division ALA Championship.

Local students win top photography awards Bluffton High’s Marc Slape’s took home top honors with his photograph “Flamboyant Stripes” in the annual Dale Westcott Memorial Nature contest held recently.

Each year the Photography Club of Beaufort awards prizes to the best nature photographs submitted by area high schools. This year more than 75 black & white and color photographs were submitted, by their teachers, then judged by club members at their March meeting. Awards were presented at the Monday, April 8 club meeting by Mrs Barbara Westcott in memory of her late husband who was an educator and avid nature photographer. Mrs. Westcott also announced that in 2014, Dale’s son Donald

Westcott would be creating an additional nature award.

The specific subject will be announced later this year with the input of the high school teachers.

Ribbons and checks were also awarded to the following students: • Battery Creek students took both second and third Place: “Untitled” by Chelsea Lynn and “Pick Me, Pick Me!” by Jayde Little, pictured at right.

• Two Honorable Mentions were awarded to “Happiest Place On Earth” by Grace Stewart of Beaufort Academy (and Island News columnist!) and “Winter Scene” by Tina Hanna of Bluffton High School.

USCB senior named 2013 Newman Civic Fellow Davina Najiah Frazier, a senior at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, has been named a 2013 Newman Civic Fellow

by Campus Compact, the nation’s only higher education association dedicated solely to campus-based civic engagement.

She is one of 181 college students from 36 states to be named 2013 Newman Civic Fellows.

“Davina Najiah Frazier is an exemplary student leader who makes a difference on our campus and in our community,” USCB Chancellor Jane T. Upshaw wrote to the Newman Civic Fellows Award Nomination Committee. “Ms. Frazier will receive dual Bachelor of Science

degrees in both Human Services and Business Administration at our spring commencement this May. She has an impressive record of academic success, civic engagement and leadership.”

Human Service majors at USCB are required to complete three internships, each of which carries a minimum of 120 hours of service at approved sites.

Ms. Frazier exceeded the 360-hour requirement by performing 450 hours of service.

“In addition,” the chancellor noted, “Davina is also providing another 150 hours of service in her Business degree’s optional internship this current semester.

Soft Shell Crab Wine Dinner Tuesday, April 23, 7 p.m. at the Beaufort Location

$45 per plus tax & gratuity

She will graduate with an impressive total of 600 hours of documented internship service.”

While working with the Jasper County Boys & Girls Club, Ms. Frazier served on South Carolina Campus Compact’s Healthy Families project where she helped children improve their wellbeing by forsaking junk food and soda in favor of more nutritious foods. She also developed and implemented a program called Fit Fridays that encompasses sports activities, dance classes and other exercise opportunities.

For her third Human Services internship, Ms. Frazier became a certified IRS tax

preparer and staffed USCB’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).

After receiving 40 hours of training as a tax preparer, she assisted working families and individuals in completing their federal and state income tax forms at no cost.

That’s not the sum total of her volunteer efforts. As the chancellor pointed out, “For the past seven years, Davina has volunteered between five and 10 hours per week during the school year at Beaufort Elementary School where her mother, Melanie Frazier, teaches a class of severe and profound special needs children.

Conservatively, we estimate that this totals more than 1,000 volunteer hours.”

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

newinspiration inoldbuilding jewelry maker finds

By Anne Christnovich

In

a sunny corner room where breakfast was once prepared for the Lipsitz family, a local jewelry maker is now cooking up her latest creations.

Juli Mills who sells her handmade jewelry wholesale, and more than a dozen other artists, recently moved into the newly remodeled second floor of 203 West Street, formerly the Lipsitz Department store.

Mills, who has a bachelor’s degree in fine arts degree in metal-smithing and jewelry design from Georgia State University, has been expanding her jewelry business since she moved to the area in 1997. She started turning her passion into her career by selling individual necklaces, earrings and bracelets at “jewelry parties” in the homes of friends and family.

Ten years ago, she made a business agreement with Nan Sutton, the owner of the Lulu Burgess shop on Bay Street, to sell seasonal collections.

The agreement with Sutton was her first success in marketing wholesale jewelry. She now has similar agreements with Tango on Fripp Island and Mango, a store in Atlanta. Her jewelry is sold in 75 shops in 21 U.S. states, as well as in Puerto Rico and Canada.

Mills’ studio in the Lipsitz building is modestly furnished — two worktables sit on the battered dark wood floors and the walls are whitewashed and mostly unadorned. A few clear plastic storage bins show neatly packaged pink, gold, turquoise and white gems and stones.

The space may appear unassuming but after working from home to fill wholesale orders since 2003, the Lipsitz room will be a place for her to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

“Now I feel like I can get some more creativity in,” she said.

A handful of Mills’ unique pieces are already featured in a glass case in a common area of the building. Paintings and products from other artists are also for sale.

Mills said she finds design inspiration for her collections from the shape and size of different gems and stones she finds at conventions, which she goes to twice a year. She also has connections with turquoise sellers in New Mexico. Mills also works with forged metals because of how the surfaces transform.

With her next line set to come out in July and the work of getting settled in the Lipsitz building,

Mills is hesitant to extol any other major plans for the future. However, she did say she hopes to introduce collections for weddings and other special occasions.

Her most popular design is a necklace strung with hundreds of tiny “seed beads” with a single oval or circular gem pendant. It comes in a host of colors and Sutton used a brown and tan version to show why her customers like Mills’ work so much.

“She’s my best selling jewelry line,” Sutton said. “I think people like her work because of its simplicity.”

Lulu Burgess hold’s a J. Mills collection show twice a year, where her recent line is displayed and customers can shop while sipping refreshments.

The next show at Lulu’s is set for 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 at the store on 917 Bay Street.

Sutton said she’s seen customers buy Mills’ work as a present for an 8-year-old, as the finishing touch to an outfit for an 80-year-old and every age in between.

It’s exactly the reaction Mills is going for with

her work.

“I like simplicity with a twist,” she said. She said she hopes her jewelry can be worn through trends and kept for years.

Other than the joy of inventing new collections, Mills finds amusement in learning about where her work will travel to and what wearers might accomplish.

“I was talking to (a customer) and she was saying how she always has to wear boring clothes at work,” Mills said. “I asked what she does and she just said,‘Oh I’m an attorney at the Pentagon.’”

The woman ended up buying a necklace and was one of Mills’ first customers at the Lipsitz gallery.

Mills also sent a pair of forged metal earrings to singer Alison Krauss after she and some friends met her backstage at a concert. Krauss complemented a friend on a similar pair.

“Now if only she would send me a picture of her wearing them,” Mills said, laughing. “I could call them ‘The Alisons.’ ” To see Mills’ jewelry, go to jmillsstudio.com or AtelierOnBay.com.

When it comes to Civic Master Plan, the city needs to build trust

By Pamela Brownstein

After attending last week’s workshop for the Beaufort Civic Master Plan, I walked away with two conclusions. The first is that there are many residents who care about where they live and are vigilant about the planning process and want to make sure the city of Beaufort is aware of their concerns in regards to the longterm plans for their neighborhoods. The second conclusion I reached was that the officials leading the workshop seemed put off by the public input and were not taking seriously the concerns of the crowd.

I have been interested and involved in the development of the Beaufort Master Plan since the beginning, having attended meetings and charettes for my neighborhood, known by the city as Sector 2, which encompasses the area West of Ribaut Road, including the Hermitage and Depot areas as well as TCL and Beaufort Memorial Hospital. It is a large area, with many different small neighborhoods, but overall it is residential with single family homes, where people enjoy quiet streets, but at the same time, their proximity to downtown.

With this description in mind, and the desire to preserve the character of our neighborhood, it is no wonder that the development and projects seen in the city’s Master Plan have raised concerns with many residents. The three main projects slated for Sector 2 would involve businesses, dense housing developments, and much more traffic.

Of the 50 or so people at the public meeting at City Hall, many of them had copies of the Master Plan printed out from the city’s website — close to 300 pages. These Sector 2 residents were organized, having met with their neighbors in advance to look at the plans and craft questions and concerns to address at the meeting. Their efforts are admirable and show the commitment to making sure that their voices are heard. And as anyone at the meeting could hear, these are voices filled with skepticism and mistrust over the contents of the Master Plan. Those who live around the Depot area are wary of the plans for outdoor pavilions, shops and possibly restaurants around the new Spanish Moss Rail Trail.

One man, who owns a large tract of waterfront property in the Hermitage area, asked outright why the plan shows a development with more than 70 homes on his land. He said no one from the city ever approached him about the use of the land, and he said he has no intention of selling or developing it. The chairman of the city Redevelopment Commission who was leading the meeting, Jon Verity, responded by saying these plans are just ideas about possible uses for the land, to show people what could be. But why would the city even bother coming up with plans for someone’s private property? Did out-of-town planners see a large open waterfront tract on the map and decide that it would be a good place for more development?

This seems to be the case for the project

proposed for my neighborhood. This working class area is characterized by small, older homes, where children play and people walk dogs and neighbors are friendly and helpful. Our parks and playgrounds are tiny, our streets flood when it rains, and caution to anyone should try to push a newborn baby in a stroller on our sidewalks because they are bumpy, uneven, and in many places, nonexistent. The speed limit on our streets is 30 mph. Along several side streets, there is a large wooded area with trails that flanks the water. I have no idea who proposed to build a multi-story retirement building and community on this land, but I guarantee it was not someone who lives in our neighborhood, because it could not be more out of place.

When I asked Mr. Verity about the retirement project, specifically the access roads that would have to built to accommodate the increased traffic, he said curtly that there are no buyers for this land yet (which did not answer my question at all). When someone else asked where this is located, he simply said: “There is nothing there right now.” Yeah, nothing except a nice patch of woods that buffers the water and adds to the tranquility and rustic feel of our neighborhood.

Another question raised by a resident was why the Master Plan called for the removal of the grassy, tree-filled median that runs the length of Hermitage Road in order to make room for parking spaces along the side of the road. Mr. Verity said he wasn’t aware this was in the plan.

Verity’s indifference and the attitude of Craig Lewis, the planner/consultant for the Office of Civic Investment, seemed out of sync with the public’s questions and concerns. Lewis appeared detached and almost amused, especially when someone referenced a specific page number from the Master Plan draft. His tone was patronizing as he assured residents that all their issues would be corrected online and passed on to City Council members (speaking of our elected officials, none were present at the workshop, except for Donnie Beer who left early.) Lewis seemed condescending toward the crowd, and in return, the residents did not seem consoled by his reassurances that their requests would be properly handled.

I hope that the city can see that the residents of Sector 2 are not on board with their plans for our neighborhood, and will do the right thing and remove these out-ofscale, unsustainable projects from the final draft of the master plan. Maybe instead of spending time pondering grandiose visions of inappropriate future development we can instead focus on basic improvements and projects we can all agree on like sidewalks, drainage, the removal of dilapidated structures, responsible in-fill development and parks. Forgive me, but with two years of public meetings, I thought the point of this whole exercise was to ask what we want.

Now it seems we are on the receiving end of what outsiders want. But, I’m just a resident of Beaufort, what do I know?

“Koch” from The independent film series in HD at USCB Center For the Arts Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m.

Synopsis: Former Mayor Ed Koch is the quintessential New Yorker. Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 88-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989 — a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime.

First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world’s most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.

Ratings & Reviews: Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 87% approval rating.

“A canny balancing act, making Koch’s arrogance so plain that you quickly move past it and concede that he accomplished remarkable things.” –

USCB 16th Annual Juried Student Exhibition: Some of the most outstanding artwork created by students at the University of South Carolina Beaufort will be on display at the 16th Annual Juried Student Exhibition April 29 through May 24 at the USCB Center for the Arts Gallery, 801 Carteret St. Among those selected to display their artwork are: USCB students Emily Yaden, John Roberts, Kelsey Borden and Frances McNair. Deanna Bowdish, owner of “The Gallery” in Beaufort, will serve as the juror for the annual student exhibition. The opening reception for the exhibition will take place Monday, April 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Awards will be presented at 6:15 p.m. Gallery hours for the exhibition are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine “Though the film, more than two years in the making, was never intended as such, it plays like the kind of eulogy Koch would have approved — neither fawning nor eviscerating but always compelling,” Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times.

“An uncommonly juicy subject for a documentary,” said Lou Lumenick, New York Post Rated: Not Rated.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Paganini leads off Festival Series Performance

P

aganini’s String Quartet in E Major will open an evening of three brilliant compositions for string quartet, on Sunday, April 28. Janacek’s Kreutzer Sonata and Beethoven’s Opus 59, No. 3 “Razumovsky” Quartet complete the program. Artistic Director Edward Arron has assembled some of the world’s finest musicians to perform these masterpieces for the USCB Festival Series’ final offering for the 2012-13 season.

Two-time Grammy nominated violinist Jesse Mills will return to the Beaufort stage where he has delighted audiences with several memorable performances.

The Series is fortunate that Beaufort holds special charms for this very talented and busy musician and composer.

Since his concerto debut in 2004 with Chicago’s Ravinia Festival Orchestra, he has performed throughout the U.S. and Canada, including concerts at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, the 92nd Street Y, the Metropolitan Museum, the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Boston’s Gardener Museum, and the Marlboro Music Festival.

He has also appeared at prestigious venues in Europe, such as the Barbican Centre of London, La Cité de la Musique in Paris, Amsterdam’s Royal Carré Theatre, Teatro Arcimboldi in Milan, and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels.

Highly regarded as a champion of contemporary music and as an improvisational artist, Mills earned a Grammy nomination for his work on a CD of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, released by NAXOS in 2005. He can also be heard on the Koch, Centaur, Tzadik, Max Jazz and Verve labels for compositions of Webern, Schoenberg, Zorn, Wuorinen, and others.

As a member of the FLUX Quartet from 2001-2003, Mills performed music composed during the last 50 years (including the famous six-hour-long String Quartet No. 2 by Morton Feldman). In addition to frequent world premieres.

Mills is co-founder of the Horszowski Trio and Duo Prism, a violin-piano duo with Rieko Aizawa, which earned 1st Prize at the Zinetti International Competition in Italy in 2006. With Ms. Aizawa, Mills became co-artistic director of the Alpenglow Chamber Music Festival in Colorado in 2010.

Violinist Aaron Boyd, soloist, chamber

Aaron Boyd

Che-Yen Chen

musician, recording artist and teacher, began studying the violin at the age of 7. Boyd has concertized throughout the United States, Europe, Russia and Asia.

He has participated in the Marlboro, La Jolla, Bridgehampton, Prussia Cove and Tanglewood music festivals and has collaborated with members of the Juilliard, Guarneri, Orion and Emerson Quartets, as well as the Beaux Arts Trio.

Boyd has been a prizewinner in numerous competitions including the Ecoles D’art Americaines de Fontainebleau, the Klein Violin Competition, the Tuesday Music Society and the Pittsburgh Concert Society and was awarded a Proclamation by the City of Pittsburgh for his musical accomplishments.

Like Mills, Boyd is deeply committed to the music of our time and has been involved in numerous commissions and premieres in concert and on record, including first recordings of the music of Milton Babbitt, George Edwards, and Morton Feldman. Mr. Boyd is also first violinist and founder of the Zukofsky Quartet (Quartet-in-Residence, Bargemusic); the only ensemble to have played all of Milton Babbitt’s notoriously difficult string quartets. A musician of wide stylistic interests, Mr. Boyd has played and recorded in collaboration with Jazz legend Dick Hyman, Chanteuse Badomi DeCesare, and appeared in concert on the mandolin with flutist Paula Robison. As a recording artist, Mr. Boyd can be heard on the Naxos, Tzadik, North/South

and Innova labels. Mr. Boyd has been broadcast in concert by NPR, WQXR, and WQED, and was recently profiled by Arizona Public Television. He plays on the “ex Alard” Matteo Goffriller violin made in Venice in 1700.

Principal violist of the San Diego Symphony and Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra, Che-Yen Chen, will round out the guest artists for the evening. This incredibly talented musician is the recipient of the First-Prize and the Amadeus Prize winner of the 10th London International String Quartet Competition, the FirstPrize in the 2003 William Primrose International Viola Competition and the “President Prize” of the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition. Strad Magazine calls him a musician whose “tonal distinction and essential musicality produced an auspicious impression” and the San Diego Union Tribune noted that “the most impressive aspect of his playing was his ability to find not just the subtle emotion, but the humanity hidden in the music.”

Chen has appeared as guest principal violist with Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra. A former member of Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Two and participant of the Marlboro Music Festival, he is a member of Camera Lucida, Concertante Chamber Players and The Myriad Trio, which just released its debut album,

“The Eye of Night”. Currently teaching at both the USC Thornton School of Music and California State University, Fullerton, Chen has previously served on the faculties of Indiana University South Bend, UC San Diego, San Diego State University and McGill University. As a laureate, Chen was invited to serve on the jury of the 2011 Primrose International Viola Competition.

Anchoring the Quartet will be the versatile host and resident cellist Edward Arron. Besides his busy schedule as artistic director for the Metropolitan Museum chamber music series as well as a series that regularly performs in Beaufort, Columbia and Old Lyme, Connecticut, Arron is in great demand as a musician. He has performed numerous times at Carnegie’s Weill and Zankel Halls, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully and Avery Fisher Halls, New York’s Town Hall, and is a frequent performer at Bargemusic. Past summer festival appearances include Ravinia, Salzburg, Mostly Mozart, BRAVO! Colorado, Tanglewood, Bridgehampton, Spoleto USA, Santa Fe, Seattle Chamber Music and Isaac Stern’s Jerusalem Chamber Music Encounters.

The concert is at 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 28 at the USCB center for the arts on Carteret Street. For tickets, call Staci Breton at 843-208-8246, Monday – Friday 8:30 – 4:30. Tickets are also available at the door and start at $40. Complete program information is available at www.uscb.edu/ festivalseries

Lecture: Carolinians who fled American Revolution The intriguing story of colonial South Carolinians who did not support the American Revolution and the description of their exile will be told by architectural historian Colin Brooker at the Verdier House Dinner & A Lecture series, Monday, April 29 at 5:30 p.m. at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street.

“A Southern Diaspora: Loyalists Abroad” is the topic of the lecture by Brooker who has spent the past few years

researching the homes and plantations of the loyalists who re-settled in the Bahamas after fleeing South Carolina.

Many historic South Carolina names are among those who fled; Brooker will relate what became of them.

Brooker, a long-time researcher on behalf of Historic Beaufort Foundation, has been the primary architectural historian working in Beaufort for more than 30 years. It is his research upon

which much of the understanding of local building style and history is based.

He is a co-author of “Beaufort County Above-Ground Historic Resources Survey.” Few historic structures in Beaufort County have not undergone his analysis.

“Dinner and a Lecture” is open to HBF members and non-members; the lecture series features a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 5:30 – 6 p.m. The program is 6

– 7 p.m. followed by audience questions.

Admission to the lecture is $15/$25 per member/member couple respectively, and $20/$30 per non-member/nonmember couple respectively. Seating is limited; call 379-3331 to make reservations. A three-course dinner at Saltus River Grill is offered at $19 per person for attendees at the lecture. Call Saltus River Grill at 379-3474 directly to make dining reservations.

lunch bunch

Perfecting the art of upscale lunch with quality ingredients at

By Pamela Brownstein

WREN BISTRO

The Lunch Bunch was fortunate to dine at one of the Beaufort’s most happening eateries, Wren Bistro and Bar, conveniently located across the street from The Island News’ office.

What sets Wren apart from other restaurants is the attention to detail.

From fresh bread to local seafood to homemade dressings and aiolis, the quality of each dish is enhanced by these special ingredients.

wine

All Tuscan wines are not Chiantis

By Celia Strong

Since we learned last week that all Chiantis are not created equal, this week we get to learn that all wines from Tuscany, the region for Chianti, are not Chiantis. In fact, some are other reds and some are whites; some are more expensive, some less expensive; some we’ll like and some, oops, maybe not. We just have to remember that no matter how each new wine turns out, we have at least enjoyed them together. We’ll try two wines this week, one a Tuscan red, one a white made by a Tuscan producer but not, strictly speaking, a Tuscan wine.

But, we’re tough and we’re flexible and we can do two new wines! And, back to Italy we go.

First, let’s review a bit. It never hurts to have things repeated (especially if you heard them the first time with some alcohol involved). I find if you just nod your head, people never know what you know and what you might be hearing for the first time. They don’t need to know, either, hence the nodding. (Nodding like you know also covers your boredom and sleepiness if you’ve heard something before. Sorry if you’re doing that now.) We know that Sangiovese is the predominant variety in Chiantis. From last week, we know that some wines made from this grape can be aged with success, meaning good results. Many wines based on Sangiovese, though, do not age well. This is not a bad thing, for us, because we don’t all have the time or the inclination to sit around waiting for our wines to mature. And, further, we really do like some of our wines younger, more vibrant and with more pronounced fruit flavors. Many of the wines from Tuscany, other than Chianti, made with Sangiovese are IGT level wines. They are typical of their geographic origins.

And, many of them are made by well known, good quality Chianti producers.

With these wines, a producer can make everyday wines, use some grapes for blending with his Sangiovese that might not be allowed in his Chiantis, or use percentages of blending grapes not allowed, play with ideas for new wines, have fun, and lots more. All of which I mention because that is the case with our winey for this week.

Antinori, or more officially Marchesi

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Antinori, is a Tuscan winery that can trace its history back to 1385. In 1180, Rinuccio di Antinoro is recorded as making wine at the Castello de Combiate near Calenzano, a town in Tuscany. His castello (castle) was destroyed in 1202, and the family moved to Florence. There, they were involved in banking and silk weaving. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Winemakers in Florence. The official incorporation, as Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori, was recorded in 1898. Because of their early success, the family could afford to buy the Palazzo Antinori in 1506.

The head of the family at that time, Alessandro Antinori, was one of the richest men in Florence, a short term situation because, like many Florentines, he was bankrupted by the effects of King Charles V of Spain. Apparently, Charles’ great triumphs in the new Americas, brought such huge amounts of gold that no matter how rich someone was in Italy, they just couldn’t keep up with all the gold. Of course, Charles did also invade parts of Italy in his dreams of expansion and wealth. Fortunately, the Antinori family prospered in the peace that followed. In 1861, Niccolò Antinori was given the title Marchesi, in part for his efforts toward the unification of Italy.

In 1900, Piero (a new one) Antinori bought several vineyards in the Chianti Classico area. This purchase included 47 acres at Tignanello. In 1924, his son Niccolò scandalized most of the Tuscan wine industry by mixing some Bordeaux grape varieties into his Chianti. (Remember, there were accepted formulas for Chianti, just no laws yet.) Over the following years, he continued to play with different blends, types of barrels, temperature control for fermentation and bottle aging of some of his wines. Niccolò retired in 1966, and his son Piero took over and continued

“Now we are offering Mobile Banking from your cellphone.”

This week’s wines — the red Toscana and the white Orvieto — come under the Tuscan winery Antinori’s Santa Cristina label. This winery can trace its history back to 1385.

his father’s innovations. He worked with early harvesting of white grapes, different types of barriques (specific barrel sizes), stainless steel fermenting and malolactic fermentation in his red wines. As logical and common as these practices are now, they were almost more than Tuscan traditions could stand.

In 1971, all the new came together for the Antinori winery with the release of their first wine called “Tignanello.”

Named for its vineyard, that contained Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines along with the Sangiovese, this wine was not legally a Chianti Classico. Even though it was grown and made on legal soil. Not really the first Super Tuscan (that honor goes to Sassicaia and another winery), Tignanello had a massive impact on the region’s wine industry. It was such a great wine - it sold for more money than the best Chiantis, and still does, eventually forced law changes that had been based on century old wine traditions, and showed the world that Chianti wasn’t all that came from Tuscany.

At this point, and then we’ll get to this week’s wines, I have to tell you the story of where the Antinori name came from. It can be traced back to the 11th Century BC, and the city of Troy.

Prince Antenor, a Trojan, was spared in the attack of the city by the Greeks

because he opened the gates to let their horse, the big Trojan Horse, in. After the battle, Prince Antenor fled, duh, and travelled up the Adriatic coast to become the founder of the city of Florence.

Possibly, the House of Antinori derived their name from his. A nice story, and adds years to the family’s history.

Now, our wines. Both of them, red and white, come under Antinori’s Santa Cristina label. The very first vintage of Santa Cristina was made in 1946.

The current red wine is called, simply, Toscana. An IGT level wine, it is named for its place of origin. It is a blend, changing from year to year, of Sangiovese, mainly, with some Cabernet Sauvignon, some Merlot, maybe even some Syrah.

This wine is always a combination of its heritage with hints of cherry and soil flavors, from the Sangiovese growing in Tuscan soil, intermixed with rich fruit flavors (black cherry, blackberry, currant) and mild tannins. For our white wine, Santa Cristina has an Orvieto. This wine comes from Umbria, right next door to Tuscany. It is DOC level wine, made mostly from Trebbiano. Light, crisp, always pleasant, perfect for warm weather. Both of these wines, at $10.99, can be ours for many meals and glasses to come. And they don’t have to be saved for Italian dinners either. They are way better than that. Enjoy!

What is that honking noise?!

Coolidge, a 4-year-old good-natured, all around good guy Wheaten terrier, spent the morning in the back yard doing general dog stuff — rooting around in the leaves, examining the bushes where the deer might have peed, sniffing the breeze, rolling in the sunspot. Just as you get comfortably arranged on the couch for an afternoon with a movie, Coolidge steps into the room, extends his head forward and while standing completely still begins to honk loudly and rhythmically. His chest expands as he tries harder to inhale.

He’s sucking for air so vigorously you’re sure he’s going to keel over. The episode continues for another 30 seconds, then it’s over and Coolidge heads to the kitchen to see if there’s anything left on the floor from lunch.

By this time the kids are in the room demanding to know what’s wrong with Coolidge, you are following him with a paper towel in one hand, just in case, while scrambling for the phone to call the vet. What on earth was that?

Most likely it’s a reverse sneeze or to use the grown-up term, a pharyngeal gag reflex episode. Reverse sneezing is a disconcerting event in which a dog makes unpleasant respiratory noises that sound like he is dying — or will die shortly. It is similar to the noise made by a dog with a collapsing trachea, but reverse sneezing is a far simpler condition that usually doesn’t require any treatment.

It is called reverse sneezing because is sounds a bit like a dog inhaling sneezes.

While there is no exact cause for reverse sneezing, it is suspected to be an irritation of the soft palate and throat, resulting in a spasm. reverse sneezing it is suspected to be an irritation of the soft palate and throat, resulting in a spasm. During the spasm the dog’s neck will extend and the chest will expand as the dog tries harder to inhale. The problem is that his trachea has narrowed and it’s hard for him to get the normal volume of air.

Anything that irritates the throat can cause this spasm and subsequent sneeze.

Coolidge might have snuffed up some pollen, a few mites or dust when he was dogging the back yard. Excitement, eating or drinking, exercise intolerance, perfumes, viruses, household chemicals, allergies or plain old post-nasal drip can also cause it. Brachycephalic dogs (flat faced breeds such as Pugs or Boxers) with elongated soft palates occasionally suck the palate into the throat while inhaling, causing the reverse sneeze.

Small dogs are more prone to it, possibly

because they have smaller throats.

Reverse sneezing rarely requires treatment. When the sneezing stops, the spasm is over. But if you need to DO something, you can massage the dog’s throat, cover the dog’s nostrils (which makes a dog swallow clearing out the irritant), or you can try blowing into his nose. If you’re a stalwart pet owner and the episode doesn’t end quickly, you can try depressing the back of the dog’s tongue which will open up the mouth and aid in air moving through the nasal

passages.

If reverse sneezing becomes a chronic problem rather than an occasional occurrence, your vet may need to get involved, checking for mites in the airway or investigating allergies. He might need to look up the nasal passages (rhinoscopy), and may even need to take a biopsy to determine the cause of the problem. Usually, however, no cause can be identified and you’ve just spent a bucket of money.

Some dogs have these episodes their entire lives; some dogs develop the condition as the age. Certainly notify your vet if the severity or frequency of the episodes changes or if your dog develops a nasal discharge or a cough.

But for most ordinary dogs like Coolidge, the spasm is a temporary event that goes away on its own, leaving no after-effects save that his family is a little shaken. Because reverse sneezing is not a severe problem, do not worry about leaving your dog home alone.

If it occurs when you’re not there, the episode will most likely end on its own and your dog will have one more chapter in his secret life.
