COVERING NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY

WHAT’S INSIDE?
On the heels of a successful 2013-2014 campaign, the United Way of the Lowcountry has once again met its goal of $2.4 million to fund its programs and services. The campaign formally kicked off last April and announced a $100,000 increase over the previous year’s goal. On March 24th the campaign received donations that met and exceeded the goal, with funding currently standing at $2,404,746.00. “Following success with success is never easy, but I’m proud of the way the community pulled together to make goal again,” said Ashley Twombley, United Way Board Chairman. “We have a dedicated group of volunteers who work to raise money on behalf of the programs we fund and I’m glad to see their hard work pay off for the benefit of those in need.”
The United Way of the Lowcountry will fund 48 programs through 33 non-profit partner agencies in Beaufort and Jasper Counties in 2015. Reaching goal allows the United Way to expand to cover four new programs run by four partner agencies new to the United Way fold this cycle. The $2.4 million also helps fund the United Way’s Early Grade Reading Program, currently employing over 200 volunteer tutors in eight local schools, as well as the United Way Helpline for those in need of both direct and Tina Gentry, President & CEO, referral services. United Way of the Lowcountry
Child Abuse Prevention Association obtains funding for new trauma program The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry has awarded the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) $80,000.00 to launch its new Trauma Focused Home Visitation Program. The program aims to shift the conventional mindset of healing a child to healing and empowering a family. Through a joint venture with the CDC and the Kaiser Permanente Foundation, researchers have discovered that adverse childhood experiences, or ACES, deeply impact the physical and mental health of adults. Without a strong support system to build resiliency, these adults often lack the capacity, knowledge and skills to parent.
In an effort to stabilize families and stop the destructive cycle of abuse and neglect, CAPA is bringing the first National Exchange Club Parent Aide Program to South Carolina. The Parent Aide model is a trauma focused, family strengthening, multi-generational, best practice research proven program that provides supportive and in-home services. This is a voluntary home visitation program with family aides working with at risk families once a week for up to a year. CAPA is thrilled to bring this innovative program to the Lowcountry and dedicated to making a safe and healthy community for our children.

Senior Leadership ready to fly The Beaufort County Senior Leadership program enjoyed a fascinating day participating in their Military Ties and History Day. Everyone visited the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in the morning and then assembled at the Douglas Visitors Center where the graduating Marine families go to learn about Marine Basic training. SGT Tiffany Lemberger facilitated the briefing on Basic Training and answered many questions from the Leadership. The class moved to the Marine museum and received a briefing on the Mighty 8th Air Force museum. Moving on, the class went to the Marine Corps Air Station and received an outstanding briefing by Major Charlton Wilson, Executive Officer, VMFAT 501, on the F-35B fighter aircraft. The F-35B is different from the other F-35’s because it can do a short take-off and vertical landing. Major Wilson is an F-35B

After lunch we went to the VMFA (AW) 224, F18 Squadron receiving a briefing and visiting the F18 hangar. And last but certainly not least was visiting the FireRescue Unit for the Air Station where a
group of fire fighters demonstrated their equipment. A highlight of the day was observing an F-35B and an F-18 aircraft take off together underscoring the two fighters will be working together until the 2020’s.

Melanoma of the eye By Dr. Mark S. Siegel
Malignant “choroidal” melanomas arise from the blood-vessel layer “choroid” beneath the retina. In North America, 6 out of each million people will be diagnosed with a choroidal melanoma each year. Malignant choroidal melanomas can spread to other parts of the body. Ophthalmologists can determine if you have a choroidal melanoma by performing a complete eye examination. This includes asking questions about your medical history, examining both of your eyes, looking into the eye through a dilated pupil at the tumor, performing an ultrasound examination, and specialized photography (to examine the circulation within the choroidal melanoma). Your ophthalmologist will also request that you have a complete general medical check up and specific tests depending upon what they see inside your eye. Ophthalmologists can correctly diagnose an intraocular choroidal melanoma in over 96% of cases (without a biopsy). Though occasionally necessary, biopsies can be avoided because they require opening the eye (which risks letting choroidal melanoma cells out) and risk intraocular hemorrhage and infection. Symptoms Most patients with choroidal melanoma have no symptoms and the melanoma is found on routine eye examination. If patients have choroidal melanoma symptoms, they are usually seeing “flashes of light,” noticing “distortion” or loss of vision, and floating objects (floaters) in their vision. 1) If the choroidal melanoma is in the front of the eye (near the natural lens), it can push or tilt the natural lens causing an irregular astigmatism (blurring of vision). 2) Choroidal melanoma can leak fluid beneath the retina, making the retina detach and cause symptoms of flashing lights and floating specks. 3) If the choroidal melanoma is in the macula (center of vision), it can grow beneath the fovea making the

patient far-sighted. The choroidal melanoma can also grow into and destroy the fovea causing distortion, loss of vision or changes in color perception. It is important to note that most patients with choroidal melanoma have no symptoms at all. Their tumors are found when they visit their eye doctor for a “routine” eye examination. So everyone should have at least an annual eye examination (includingdilated ophthalmoscopy). Other, more unusual presentations of anterior choroidal (iris) melanoma are discoloration of the iris, a brown spot on the outside of the eye, an irregularly shaped pupil and glaucoma. Treatment Small Choroidal Melanoma: Patients with a small choroidal melanoma can be treated after their first visit, but since growth helps to prove that the tumor is a cancer, your doctor may suggest “observation” or watching for a small amount of choroidal melanoma growth prior to treatment. Your ophthalmologist should discuss the relative risks and potential benefits of “observation for growth” as compared to “immediate treatment” for choroidal melanoma. Once growth is documented, your ophthalmologist will recommend definitive treatment. Medium-sized Choroidal Melanoma: Around the world, most patients with a medium-sized choroidal melanoma are treated with either radiation therapy or removal of the eye. Though there are several forms of eye and vision-sparing radiation therapy, ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy is the most common and widely used. Since the results of the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS)
the island news | april 2-8, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
suggest that plaque radiation therapy and enucleation of the eye are equally effective for the prevention of metastatic choroidal melanoma, few patients with medium-sized choroidal melanoma are treated by removal of the eye. Because both enucleation and plaque radiation therapy for choroidal melanoma are likely to harm your vision (in that eye), you should discuss the risks and benefits of these and other treatment options in consultation with your ophthalmologist. Large-sized Choroidal Melanoma: A patient with a very large choroidal melanoma may be treated by removal of the eye (enucleation). This is because the amount of radiation required to destroy a choroidal melanoma that fills most of the eye may be too much for the eye to tolerate. However, most patients with largesized choroidal melanoma can also be treated with eye-sparing radiation therapy. After radiation for large choroidal melanoma, these eyes are at greater risk to have poor vision, to become uncomfortable and may have to be secondarily removed. It is important to note that as
compared to like-sized malignant melanoma of the skin, patients are much more likely to survive a choroidal melanoma. This is because it is much more difficult for a choroidal melanoma to spread from (get out of ) the eye to other parts of the body. However, large (choroidal melanoma) tumor size decreases the chance that vision-sparing treatments will be successful. In general, the larger the choroidal melanoma the worse the prognosis for both vision and metastasis. Patients often ask why they have a choroidal melanoma. Choroidal melanoma is more common among patients with blue vs. brown eyes, those with outdoor occupations and in Australia where there is an ozone hole. Therefore, it seems reasonable to assume (though unproven) that choroidal melanoma is related to sunlight (ultraviolet exposure). Because sunlight exposure has been linked to several eye cancers and diseases of the eye, I suggest that you think of Sunglasses as Sun Block for your Eyes and start wearing your UV blocking sunglasses. They make great gifts too!

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
Former marine supports military 24/7 Kenneth Szarek is the Field Service Representative for Boeing and he’s in charge of the training and support of Marine Corps customers relative to the operation and maintenance of the F/A18 Hornet aircraft at the Marine Corps Air Base Beaufort. A former Marine himself, Kenneth says he’s humbled and honored to support the USMC mission through his work. “What they do every day is amazing and necessary,” he says. “I’ll do whatever it takes to support them.” Kenneth’s USMC active duty aviation maintenance background, his MBA from Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri, and a lifelong appreciation of
the engineering behind military aircraft led him to his current occupation. He’s also worked as an Adjunct Professor at both Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and USC Beaufort. Father to 20-year old Errin, a Beaufort High School graduate now attending Coastal Carolina University, and 13-month old Elijah, Kenneth says nothing makes him prouder than being a dad. He enjoys pick-up volleyball and basketball games and has visited five of the seven continents. He’s a writer, an inventor and owns “a 1958 Oldsmobile, a Russian motorcycle and other really cool stuff in my office.”
Ken Szarek with his wife, Fran and daughters, Erinn and Eli.
A true example of the old adage, “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”, Ken says, “I have been with Boeing for 20 years. I was
with Marine aviation for even longer. I absolutely love going to work every day. For that, I am truly grateful.” So are we, Ken. So are we.

Lafayette Soiree 2015—in a word WOW!! “It was more spectacular than the party at 12 Oaks in the movie Gone with the Wind!” raved Jay Weidner about last Saturday’s Lafayette Soiree at the home of Scott Sonoc and Marsha Williams. The fantastic CEO band from Atlanta kept everyone on the dance floor from their first song to their last. Even without hoop skirts, the Soiree was able to honor Beaufort’s naval history and raise substantial funds for the Historic Beaufort Foundation which will be used to stabilize the Verdier House and protect other endangered properties in Beaufort County. The evening was highlighted by an incredible fireworks display in honor of the 190th anniversary of General Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to Beaufort, which was also enjoyed by hundreds of people in the nearby Waterfront Park. Many thanks to Scott and Marsha and the hardworking Committee of the Soiree who made it all happen so beautifully and flawlessly! Photos by Captured Moments Photography

THE PHILANTHROPY CORNER
Building school programs for children who learn differently Nationally-recognized Hilton Head Island nonprofit Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC) is coming to Beaufort. NOC works to eliminate poverty’s root causes by addressing education, health and workforce development directly inside the communities they serve. The Beaufort County School District has been in discussion with NOC over the past two years to bring their flagship program, a one-on-one afterschool tutoring and summer program, into two high-need communities North of the Broad: Parkview Terrace and Marsh Point. “What our model presents is a new partnership in dealing with the challenges we face in educating our children,” explained Dr. Narendra Sharma, Chair of the NOC Board of Directors. “The schools can’t do it alone. Larger organizations like the Beaufort County School District and Neighborhood Outreach Connection will have to work together to address the problems of the 21st Century.” Proven effective in NOC’s four other locations; this engaging, cost-effective educational program brings technology and teachers directly to students, adding the equivalent of an additional 28 days of school to the year. Teachers work closely with local schools to get struggling students involved in the program. NOC wants to open its program center for Parkview Terrace and Marsh Point in May, just in time to kick off 10
summer programming. So far, NOC has the support of elected officials,such as Mayor Keyserling and State Senator Tom Davis, the Beaufort County Board of Education and the local business community, among others. The Beaufort County School District, Parkview Terrace and Marsh Point are donating space to run programming and offices. On Monday, NOC and BCSD were also awarded a $163,000 South Carolina Community Block Grant as start-up funding for the new program.
the island news | april 2-8, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
A generous anonymous donor has offered a matching gift of $50,000 to support the new program, which needs $100,000 annually to work with 100 children. The anonymous donor hopes to inspire Beaufort locals to support their neighbors North of the Broad by jumpstarting NOC’s new program center. NOC has currently raised $12,500 toward their matching goal $50,000 fundraising goal. – visit www.noc-sc.org to donate today.

arts & entertainment ARTIST OF THE MONTH AT THIBAULT GALLERY ON BAY STREET
RL Brethauer’s take on local treasures From the wetlands of the coastal south, comes the inspiration and creations of RL Brethauer exhibit called “Mother Nature designed, Artist refined”. An award winning artist, RL is recognized for his work in various artistic genres and works only with naturally aged wood, recycled metals, and vintage materials. Our vast shorelines and beaches provide a treasure trove of elements for him to use. The process of preparing these select pieces of wood collected from the coastal beaches, inland water ways, marshlands, and lakes, is a time intensive process which involves washing, scraping,
RL Brethauer
and sealing the wood, all of which enhances the natural beauty of his creations. The sails in the photograph shown here are of
vintage metal from buildings in Savannah and the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as copper reclaimed from the Scheper – Keyserling Building, which was built in 1887 in downtown Beaufort. RL’s Viking and Pirate Ships Collection combines various elements of nature, including vintage copper and brass which provides a warm patina that comes only with age. No chemicals are used to create the magnificence of these patinas. His collections also include the Ladies of the Sea, Celestial, and Ghost Ships, all with stories that make these series unique. RL’s
nature enhanced pieces of art will warm the soul, beautify the home, and provide a quality heirloom worthy of being passed to future generations. RL resides and has a studio in Savannah. RLs’ creations resonate with elegant simplicity but reflect Picasso’s Cubism and Remington’s realism. No piece is ever duplicated, as Mother Nature is selective in providing the materials; so RL refines what he uses to create these wonderful works of art so that they truly speak to you. Thibault Gallery is located on 815 Bay Street in Historic Downtown Beaufort.
Amiri Geuka Farris To exhibit at ARTworks This month’s featured artist in the ARTworks gallery is Amiri Gueka Farris, and the gallery feels lucky to have him. “All of a sudden, Amiri is everywhere! He’s the man of the hour”, says Laura Maxey, Managing Director of the Arts Council of Beaufort’s ARTworks space. She is referring to a spate of recent press involving the artist: exhibits at the Penn Center and the Gullah Museum of Hilton Head in January, the “Amiri’s Celebration of Food, Art, Music & Dance” in February to benefit Project Connect and help fund art supplies for local teachers, featured as one of the 19 most “Intriguing People” by Hilton Head Magazine, and the launch of the new Daufuskie Island Rum Company for which he designed eye catching labels. But this is no overnight success story. Amiri has been steadily at work in the Lowcountry and garnering praise and awards nationally since his years at SCAD, where he earned both a BA in Illustration and Graphic Design and an MFA in Painting. His work has been featured in more
than 50 solo exhibits and juried museum exhibitions across the U.S., including at US Capitol in Washington, D.C. In 2008, he was named Artist of the Year at the Penn Center and in 2014 he was one of 3 artists featured in a show curated by Jonathan Green for the City of Amiri Gueka Farris Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs. Oh, and he’s a professor at USCB and SCAD and former professor at Georgia Southern University and Savannah State University. Although most associated with producing modern
work which references Gullah culture, Amiri’s work encompasses other themes such as famous musicians, self-portraits, birds, and more. The work has also gotten looser and less literal over time, to the point where drips of paint and large areas of negative space have become part of the compositions. The pieces appear equally about capturing the subjects in a visual form as capturing them in an emotional form that the artist can convey to others. In one painting, the brightly colored and dripping paint emanating from the mouth of a trumpet seems to capture the tones and energy of the music the subject is playing. This should come as no surprise, though, to those who are aware that Amiri is also a musician who has recorded several CDs of his original music. “There’s such a beauty that comes from music, it just feels natural to paint what I hear and how music comes at you. “Whether expressed in music or art, Amiri Geuka Farris’ talent reaches out across time and genres, to thoroughly captive audiences.
PIXELS TO PIGMENT USCB Center for the Arts Eric Smith well known local photographer and owner of Captured Moments Photography and artist Dusty Conner from Beaufort have together created some truly memorable new art. USCB Center for the Arts will present an exhibit of these works plus each artist’s individual painting and photography beginning April 3rd and running through May 31st.“Pixels to Pigment: a provocative perspective from the camera to canvas” will open your mind to new possibilities under the category of art. In several collaborative pieces, Eric photographed local subjects, then Dusty painted right on top of the portraits to create a unique piece of art. The exhibit will also feature each artist’s individual works. Eric specializes in high impact landscape photography and unique

The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts will presents Jaimee Paul in “At Last”, a powerful jazz tribute to the great female singers of our time, on Friday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. Imagine a 1940’s jazz club with the voices of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Rosemary Clooney, and others. Jaimee Paul and her Jazz combo, led by husband Leif Shires, on trumpet, deliver just that. “At Last”, a tribute to that wonderful era and those fabulous female vocalists, will certainly take you back to the glory days of yesteryear. “Paul is blessed with a glorious voice (indeed there is significant evidence of [Aretha] Franklin’s raw majesty), one that deserves to travel under its own powerful steam...” Christopher Loudon “Jazz Times. Paul’s “Hymns of Prayer” was nominated for a 2013 Dove Award. Her “At Last” album ended 2012 as the #1 female vocalist in the Jazz Downloads category. Raised in Southern Illinois, steeped in the church choir, Paul was influenced by Gospel and Blues, cultivating a special place in her heart for Jazz. She left her home town for Nashville Tennessee to study music business at highly acclaimed Belmont University.
Jaimee Paul and husband, Leif Shires
After graduation Jaimee quickly found work at various record labels handling marketing and radio promotion; simultaneously she began working part time as a studio session singer. Not long after, studio work began to take over her schedule and she became a full time musician. Jaimee’s talent was rapidly recognized, and soon after she began touring as background vocalist with country superstar Wynonna.

wine
A dinner with Kith and Kin By Celia Strong
Well, once more we are looking a holiday dinner in the face. It has to amaze you, as much as it does me, that these holidays come every year, all year. They stay the same. What is wrong with us that we can’t stop them from sneaking up on us? It can’t be all that hard. We have calendars. And electronic devices. Multiple electronic devices. They send us reminders. Written and loud bell bonging sounding ones. And still, here we are. Really? Easter is this weekend? Are you sure? Geez! I need to get ready. Next year, I will be ready early. Promise! Really? So, let’s not waste time, and get into our lesson for this week right away. Starting with another look at our Easter dinner. This is the last family dinner, each year, sitting down at the nice dining room table, until the big holiday dinners come in November and December. For these big holiday dinners, where we all have family and friends, there are many glasses of wine poured. These same groups over the summer tend to be more cookouts and casual. More beer and white liquor drinks, with ice. More outside events than the good dining room table events. But, Easter dinner is still special. Last week we looked at wine for a ham dinner. This week, we’re going to look at a wine for a lamb dinner. Which brings up a small little discussion on lamb. (Please note sometimes I find topics I want to learn about and you’re just stuck coming along for the ride. But we do keep drinking, so all is not wasted.) Lamb can pretty much be a local meat. Most American lamb comes from larger animals, usually grass fed for most of it’s life. Giving lamb some grain feed, just before slaughter, leads to more mellow flavors and good marbling. American lamb is tender and dark colored. New Zealand lamb is cheaper and more gamey or mutton-flavored. It is also slightly tougher. Also, New Zealand lamb are smaller than American, and they are generally slaughtered younger to get milder flavored and more tender meat. Other sources for lamb, not that we can find them all, include Australia, Iceland and France. Going back to our wine discussion, we
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
now know that our source for lamb may influence our wine choice. Because it is easier for most of us to find, we’re going to serve American lamb. And an American wine. A Cabernet. From Napa. Because we know, now, that our lamb is going to be tender, milder flavored and marbled, we are going to pick an appropriate Cab. (Really, I already did pick it last summer when I first tasted this wine. I’ve just been waiting for this meal to come again.) A Cab is a Cab, but we all know they’re not all the same. Ours is from Round Pond Estate, located in Rutherford. Round Pond Estate is owned by the MacDonnell family for almost a quarter of a century. Currently, the second generation runs the vineyard. Their first Cabernet wine was produced in 1992. Because Round Pond is a smaller winery, every step of their wine production is hands-on. They walk every vineyard, every day. Control from soil to bottle is part of their way of getting the quality they insist upon. Their style? A combination of Old World traditions and New World innovations. The Rutherford area is known for opulent Cabernet wines. The grapes get ripe and yield robust flavors. All of Round Pond’s grapes are either organically or sustainably grown. For wine production, sustainable means everything they do is quality conscious, socially responsible and environmentally sound. Natural processes are used to promote soil health, to control erosion. For ground cover, native crops are used. And composting is done. Everything to promote positive plant-soil interactions. And, sustainable also includes all the workers; they are considered part of the process. They are treated with dignity and respect because their handling of the soil and vines and grapes cannot be ignored. All the grapes are hand harvested. And hand sorted and hand destemmed. Fermenting is done in small batches. This
“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”
helps enhance specific characteristics in each batch. Round Pond does make several “tiers” of Cabernet. (That means levels and prices.) Ours is the 2012 “Kith and Kin” Cabernet. “Kith and Kin” is Old English for “friends and family.” Sounds to me that right there, that one phrase, makes this the perfect wine choice for Easter dinner! And, remember the “Salmon Safe” winery practices from our Oregon wine last week. Round Pond Estate is a member of “Fish Friendly Farming.” Same exact idea, just not salmon. The Round Pond “Kith and Kin” Cabernet is a blend of grapes from their Rutherford home vineyards and nearby appellations. After harvest, the grapes go through a short and cool temperature maceration. This ensures the wine has well balanced tannins, focused fruit flavors and is approachable. The Kith And Kin is aged in used French oak barrels and neutral French barrels. The wine ages for fifteen months in these barrels before bottling. This adds flavor nuances and enhances the fruit-forward flavors - bright strawberry, raspberry
and cranberry, black cherry, too. And, toasted oak and vanilla flavors from the barrels. Our 2012 Kith and Kin is a blend of seventy-six percent Cabernet Sauvignon, twenty percent Petit Verdot, two percent Petite Sirah and two percent Merlot. The 2012 vintage? All season long the weather was good. Mild days let the grapes ripen easily. No excessive heat going into harvest time (officially, it started September 5) meant the picking was not rushed. Yields were better than normal, a true bonus with the grapes as good as they were. At pressing, the acidity was bright, the flavors explosive and sugar levels were low to moderate. Brian Brown, the head winemaker at Round Pond, expected the quality of the 2012 wines to be above par. Now that we have tasted his wine, we can agree. Easily. So, buy your lamb, gather your kith and kin, and have a great holiday dinner. For me? Maybe no lamb. Just this wine. Kith and kin at our house are three cats. Who may get to lick my finger if I stick it in my glass of wine? They may. Or may not. Depends on how many jelly beans they give me. For $26.99. Enjoy.

Coffee is back! Now what?
By Lee Scott
Good news, coffee is back in good graces with the “experts”. According to the Harvard Heart Letter, March 2015, Coffee is actually good for you. It is not just the caffeine which gives us the that great morning jolt, but coffee is also filled with other components called polyphenols which are beneficial to our hearts. These antioxidants are making all the headlines now. This new report is contrary to what we were told in the past. Evidently the medical research done in the 1970s and 1980s did not account for poor choices like a sedentary lifestyle and/or cigarette smoking, so coffee got thrown into the “bad for you” category. It has taken forty years for coffee to be redeemed. Personally, I have ignored what the experts said about coffee. No one

was ever going to discourage me from drinking my cup of coffee. I am a devoted coffee drinker. Several cups early in the morning and then one cup mid-morning; occasionally one cup after dinner. My love of coffee came from my New England roots. It started at an early age. I grew up on all forms of coffee. We drank coffee syrup in our milk instead of chocolate syrup. We ate coffee ice cream
The Island News received the following letter in response to the March 26th Rauch Report on the rise in crime in the city of Beaufort. We applaud Mr. Clement for being willing to share his story publically. Should you support Mr. Clement or have other comments, please respond directly to Bill Rauch at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
cones and enjoyed coffee frosting on our birthday cakes. During the summer we would drink our iced coffee. The idea of someone telling me to limit my coffee was unacceptable. I am personally comforted knowing that employees working at night, like doctors, nurses and police officers have coffee to keep them awake. You probably noticed that the vending machines in hospitals and at the rest stops along
Mr. Rauch, I was delighted to read your report on the increased level of crime in Beaufort. This is something that my wife and I have been trying to shed light on ever since a drug deal went bad in January of 2014, 30 feet from our infant son’s window where multiple shots were fired. Over the last year we’ve heard gunshots on too many occasions to recall and we’re within a block of multiple shootings with injuries and the most recent murder earlier this year. Yet the current Mayor and city council repeatedly tell us that Beaufort is a safe place. We’ve even had a neighbor of ours that works for the city, tell us if we didn’t like the crime we should move. The Mayor shares our emails that we send to him with others without our knowledge. We moved to Beaufort in 2010 to start family, start new careers (my wife is a nurse and I started my ad agency) and to renovate a downtown home. But, with the crime that is taking place around our
major highways all have coffee available too. It is amazing though the number of foods and drinks that we have been warned about through the years. Butter and eggs have only recently been put back into the “good for you” food category. And of course there were the big ones, red dye #2 and cyclamates never made it back into the food chain; although saccharin was eventually saved. If you do an internet search on “bad foods for you to eat” the list contains ketchup, popcorn, potato chips and sodas. Coffee is not the only product that has gone on this crazy roller coaster. The list of foods to avoid “according to the experts” is huge. So next year if the word comes out that coffee is bad once again, I’m sorry, I will still be sitting at City Java or Common Ground enjoying my cappuccino.
home and the way that the current Mayor and city council responds to our pleas we don’t feel safe or welcome here anymore. Our plan has gone from calling Beaufort home for years to come (my wife’s family were all born and raised in Beaufort) to moving as soon as we can. We have another son being born in June and we hope to be out within a year after his birth. Oh, I do have to mention that we were awakened again last night to gunshots near our home, 4 of them and the sounds of a car speeding away. I wish I could say that this is a surprise, but we’re growing accustomed to the sounds of gunshots in downtown Beaufort and we don’t want our sons to grow up with what surrounds us now. Thank you for bringing this issue to light when the current status quo is to pretend it doesn’t exist. Sincerely, Derek Clement Address Withheld

Think twice before adopting the Easter Bunny By Dr. Parker T. Barker and Prof. Percy Pussycat
Hi everybody. It’s Easter Time and Professor Percy and I know that a lot of families think it would be a great idea to get a bunny or two for the family. They are really cute especially if they have that iconic little white tail. And they are funny when they hop around. And they are really soft. Don’t do it! Bunnies do make wonderful pets. That goes without saying but getting one just because it fits in with the holiday isn’t a good idea. Seriously, would you get a reindeer for the kids just because it was Christmas? We thought not. But bunnies should be included in Easter festivities so we suggest rather than getting a living, breathing bunny, go for the chocolate bunnies. They come in many sizes, shapes and colors and you won’t have to take care of them for 10 +/- years which is the average lifespan of a real bunny. Chocolate bunnies, bunny cakes and cookies, pictures of bunnies on your eggs, fake bunny ears, paper bunny feet leading you to your hidden basket. There are lots of ways to incorporate bunnies into the Easter celebration without bringing a live one home. But Ol’ Percy and I know that you will probably ignore our good advice so if you are dead set on getting a bunny, think about adopting rather than just buying one from a pet store. Find

a rabbit rescue in your town and give a bunny that is I tough straits, a chance at their furever home. They should be part of the family just the same way your cats and dogs are. Here are some tips on keeping your new bunny healthy and happy for the 10 years you have him… 1. The first thing you have to do is decide where your rabbit will live. Rabbits can live in cages, exercise pens (like puppy pens), or allowed to freerange in your home (as long as your home is bunny-proofed). Provide your bunny with a safe area as his or her “home base”. A home base is a place for just your rabbit where it can relax and go to when it wants some alone time. A home base can be a cage, or if your rabbit lives in an exercise pen, a cardboard box with two entrances cut into it. Never bother your rabbit while it is in its home base, and don’t take it out of its home base – let it come out on its own. Provide a cover for their home base, as bunnies feel safe hiding under things.

The more time the rabbit spends in the home you make for it, the bigger it should be. Larger rabbits obviously need bigger homes. A rabbit home should allow the rabbit to run around and jump. The rule of thumb is that a bunny’s cage is big enough for him/her to hop across 4 times, and tall enough to stand on its hind legs. 2. Provide your bunny with a correct diet. Your rabbit should receive unlimited timothy hay, a variety of fresh vegetables, and plenty of water. Hay is a large part of your rabbit’s diet and should be available at all times. Alfalfa is only recommended for rabbits younger than seven months; timothy or grass hays are better. Fresh vegetables should be provided regularly with their food... Vegetables you can feed your rabbit include the green part of carrots, romaine lettuce (not iceberg), broccoli, asparagus, and flat-leaf (Italian) parsley. Water should be clean and plentiful and changed each day. 3. Allow your rabbit to get plenty of exercise. Allowing them to roam free in a rabbit-proofed room during the day works very well if you have litter
box trained your rabbit. Make toys available for chewing, exploring, and other appropriate toys to keep the rabbit occupied. 4. Take your rabbit to the vet. Do some research first as not all vets are experienced at treating rabbits. And get your rabbit fixed. In addition, both sexes will mark their territory with urine if not fixed. Yuck! Knowing how to care for your bunny properly is the best gift you can give them. Do the research so you are well informed. Happy Bunnies Everybody! Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center. He lives on Lady’s Island with his sister, Peanut and their great Mom.
