Making art and opportunities in the ‘eco-magical’ Lowcountry by Lisa Annlouise Rentz
The creative class in Beaufort County is building momentum, and Natalie Daise’s upcoming gallery show and one-woman performances are setting the tone for the arts community for the rest of 2009. A big part of the creative energy at ARTworks, Natalie is a resident artist, a thoughtful and talented painter, and a colorful and meaningful storyteller. Her opening reception is free to the public, on Friday, July 31, and her dramatic onewoman performances are on August 7-8 at 7:30 p.m., with admission $10 per person. “The stage piece is the origin of all my
art,” she said. “I’m a storyteller, and I’ve moved to the canvas. Instead of my spirit and mouth, it’s my spirit and my brush.” So much is scheduled at ARTworks, where artists work with metal and fill the stage and cover the walls with photos, that the Arts Council of Beaufort County is arranging a Free for Fall event on August 14 from 6:30 – 9 p.m. The three main features of Free for Fall are: 1. It’s free! 2. It’s designed to help you find your new inspiration. continued on page 2
Students at four local schools start early, end later in effort to boost learning While most local schools don’t ring the classroom bells until Aug. 17, four public schools start this week because they need to catch up, school district officials said. In what they called “a bold move to change the course of academically challenged schools in Beaufort County,” the Beaufort County School Board and Superintendent Valerie Truesdale adopted an Accelerated Learning School Proposal that targets Whale Branch Elementary School, James J. Davis Elementary School, Whale Branch Middle School and St. Helena Elementary School.
James J. Davis Elementary School will become James J. Davis Early Learning Center, part of Whale Branch Elementary. St. Helena Early Learning Center will also have expanded services of Head Start, serving pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. Elementary students in grades one through five will continue to be served in the St. Helena Elementary building.
Those schools, with the most poverty of any schools in Beaufort County, have been under review by the State Department of Education for three to five years due to persistently underachieving test scores, the school district said.
“The School District developed a concentrated model of intense district and state intervention at Whale Branch Elementary and proposes to implement the plan to turn around all four schools and move the district toward improvement of student achievement,” spokeswoman Carol Bruno McMillan said last spring.
Because Whale Branch Elementary School has experienced five years of persistently unsatisfactory test scores, it is a candidate for designation by the State Board of Education as a Palmetto Priority School. The State Department of Education has agreed to support Beaufort County Schools in an effort to turn around student achievement in Whale Branch and St. Helena schools.
“The plan includes naming the Whale Branch and St. Helena schools as Accelerated Learning Schools with focused resources and energies to reverse the trend of persistently poor performance. Accelerated Learning Schools will have extended school day (15-20 minutes/day) and an extended school year (200 days) so that students can master grade level standards,” she said.

Showcase Celebration, which will be held on October 9 at 5 p.m.
3. It offers free mini-sessions of upcoming workshops, for kids and adults. Free for Fall is an enjoyable, casual, and conversational introduction to the many artistintructors and the amazing artforms they will present. For example, Tuesday afternoon Open Studio Watercolors with the learned Jennifer Kassing Bradley, 2nd Monday critique sessions with the amazing Deanna Bowdish, writers critique groups with the organized Stephanie Edwards, hand-building and wheel-throwing clay with the good humored Trevor Foster, Printmaking with the profound Melba Cooper, and acting and tai chi with the well-balanced JW Rone. Then, MarshClasses at ARTworks begin in October. These are professional-level master art classes designed to help artists explore their creativity in the eco-magical Lowcountry. Each class is taught by a master artist and takes place at ARTworks. MarshClasses are a significant step for Beaufort’s creative class, bringing together the talents of emerging, visiting, and master artists with the beautifying forces of nature: graceful egrets in the view finders of photographers working with Eric Horan; the crackles and bubblings of the marsh informing the potters working with Trevor Foster; the entrancing views of marsh grass surrounding distant palmetto-studded islands inspiring basket-makers learning from Kim Keats: and the dramatic Spanish moss and cooling breezes surrounding artists as they work with painter Linda Sheppard or lampwork bead-creator Curtis Cecil. A detailed digital brochure is online at www. beaufortcountyarts.com. “Each three-day master class is an intensive study,” said Trevor Foster, a potter for 20 years with credentials in ceramic chemistry, teaching, and artist co-op administration.
The fall 2009 after school session begins with none other than Marlena Smalls, founder of the Hallelujah Singers, instructing kids 8 to 14 in Choral Music. Get a spot now379-2787. Lisa Clancy is a resident artist at ARTworks and the Creative Dramatics instructor for ages 6 to 8. “Through the use of theater games and improvisation activities, we’ll enjoy pretending together. The emphasis won’t be a on a culminating performance, but rather the experience of using the actor’s toolbox-- our bodies, voices and imagination,” she said. “This improves communication skills and confidence, and above all, it’s fun to explore theater arts. This creative dramatics class is an opportunity for kids to explore theater and storytelling on the stage.” Victoria Smalls is the visual artist who will lead the session in pastels for kids 9 to 15. “I use pastels in my own work,” she explained “Pastels are pure pigment, the same used in acrylic and oil paints. We’ll mix and blend colors, and have fun. It’s a very manipulative technique, using hands and fingers. It feels effortless, and there’s not a lot of materials, simply the pastels, your hands and the paper. “It’s fun for children. The best aspect to me is the colors, the beautiful blues that you see in Lowcountry, in the water and in the sky, blending in one color to another, blending to make new hues, creating a new color you didn’t think exists,” Smalls said. The afterschool art rainbow continues with puppetry with Yostie Ashley, Fantasticekfrastic Story-writing with Lisa Rentz, Visual Arts ~ Hooked on Recycling with C.J. Norwood, Performing Arts & Circus Skills with JW Rone, and Handbuilding with Clay with Deanna Bowdish.
“My inspiration came from observations of my surroundings and studies of cultures from around the world,” he said. “In my MarshClasses, we will combine wheel throwing or hand-building techniques with Lowcountry nature, to produce art work that represents each participant’s view of their surroundings.”
Combining all these names and artforms into one 12,000 square foot community arts center creates awesome art, quality of life, and a more sophisticated creative class. Plus it’s just fun.
Arts-in-Education is emphasized in the arts council’s mission, and starting August 24, the next after school session begins. Family discounts and limited scholarships are available. Each class is one day a week, $45 per seven week session: family discounts are available, as are limited scholarships. The session culminates in a free Community

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EXAMINED YOUR FINANCES? provide in-depth financial evaluations and fee-based portfolio management for families and small business owners, providing a one-source solution to the 401(k) and employee benefit needs.
No, really looked at them in regards to where you are today, what you’re spending now, and how your financial plan will determine your future lifestyle? Let’s face it. Most of us simply don’t have the time to pay close attention to our finances. Sure, we may glance at our investment statements when they arrive and consider them at tax time, but with our busy lives, it’s hard enough to find time for things we actually want to do. That’s completely understandable. But when you consider the challenges investors face today, having a plan in place for your finances becomes even more important. Without a disciplined approach to managing and saving the money that’s coming in right now, it’s easy to spend it and not have enough left when it’s time to retire. No family can contemplate a successful financial journey, especially across more than one generation without some sort of comprehensive financial, investment and estate plan. Our financial lives are getting more and more complex. While you could probably do an excellent job of managing your finances if you had the time, inclination, or training, the fact is, most of us don’t. And so they sit, unattended, on the back burner. 2

News Lowcountry Medical Group Imaging Center earns national approval for MRI, CT and Nuclear Medicine Showcasing their commitment to quality patient care and boosting health insurance reimbursement for patients, Lowcountry Medical Group’s Imaging Center earned three accreditations from the American College of Radiology (ACR). The accreditation means Lowcountry Medical Group voluntarily participated in a rigorous review to meet nationally accepted standards. This review ensures the Imaging Center’s equipment is appropriate for the tests and the facility meets or exceeds national quality assurance and safety guidelines. The accreditation also confirms the technologists’ expertise to perform imaging procedures. Three types of services earned ACR recognition recently at Lowcountry Medical Group: MRI, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging system often used in brain, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and cancer imaging. It uses a powerful magnetic field to form an image CT, the computed tomography system that allows doctors and other experts to create a three-dimensional image of the body. Lowcountry Medical Group is one of only two facilities in Beaufort County with this certification, and the only one in northern Beaufort County The Nuclear Medicine system that includes but isn’t limited to stress tests, bone scans and thyroid imaging; all use carefully-monitored radioactive isotopes. Only one other Beaufort County nuclear medicine facility, located in Hilton Head, has this level of certification.
“Because we believe in providing this community with the highest quality healthcare and technology, this accreditation is both appreciated and expected,” said Mark Kolbush, Chief Executive Officer at Lowcountry Medical Group’s central facility, the Arthur S. Jenkins Medical Plaza at 300 Midtown Drive in Port Royal. Lowcountry Medical Group is a multi-specialty physicians’ group with offices in Port Royal and Hardeeville. If a machine isn’t accredited by the American College of Radiology, some insurance companies may not be as likely to reimburse diagnostic services, said Debbie Bridwell, Director of Imaging Services for Lowcountry Medical Group. “Our imaging services are available to all physicians and their patients, and this accreditation demonstrates our high level of expertise as well as our high level of technology,” she said. “Our imaging staff has more than 100 years of combined experience, and customer service is our priority.” The American College of Radiology headquartered in Reston, Va., awards accreditation to facilities for achievement of high practice standards after a peerreview evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the imaging staff and the adequacy of their equipment. The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists and nuclear medicine and medical physicists.

Sheriff Tanner named SC ‘Sheriff of the Year’ Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner is the South Carolina Sheriff ’s Association’s 2009 Sheriff of the Year. Candidates are nominated by a fellow South Carolina sheriff, with the winner being selected by the Association from all submitted entries. This year, Sheriff Tanner was nominated by long-time associate and fellow Sheriff Gregory Jenkins of Jasper County. Since taking office in January 1999, Tanner’s administration has been highly regarded throughout the state as one of constant change and improvement. His nomination cites the numerous programs and proactive initiatives he has undertaken with the goal of ensuring the safety and enhancing the quality of life for all citizens of Beaufort County.
need of assistance, according to Tanner’s spokeswoman, Cpl. Robin McIntosh. The Sheriff ’s creation of the SMART and Fresh Start programs have helped refocus numerous at-risk youths, and both programs have enjoyed growing success with both juveniles and parents alike, she said. The Citizen’s Police Academy, started by the Sheriff in 2003, has become a tremendously popular course, with hundreds of Beaufort County’s citizens attending. Graduates of the program learn not only about the operations of the Sheriff ’s Office, but also ways they can participate in making the community a safer place.
Tanner was honored as “Sheriff of the Year” at the S.C. Sheriff ’s Association conference July 15 in Myrtle Beach.
Tanner’s dedication to technology has lead to the incorporation of digital imaging into everything from crime scene photography to in-car patrol video. The camera systems used in the Sheriff ’s Office patrol vehicles are some of the most advanced in the nation, allowing for automatic download of data at various hot-spots.
Under Tanner’s direction, the local Sheriff ’s Office established a Regional Drug Analysis Lab to help ease a backlog of pending drug cases. The development of a Homeland Security Level One certified SWAT Team, K-9 Tracking Team, Search and Rescue Dive Team, and the newly formed Bomb Squad allows for the highest level of specialized response to critical incidents both within the County and to surrounding agencies in
Tanner also has been active in many civic organizations; serving on the boards of the American Heart Association, the Boys & Girls Club of the Low Country, and the Palmetto Price Enforcement Committee on Beautification and Litter.
Too much of a good thing? Sea Island Rotary Club sets Courtesy LIBPA Newsletter
There is nothing wrong with a municipality expanding its size or population, but too much growth can spoil an area and can be very expensive to the individual taxpayer. As the citizens of Beaufort County are in the process of spending $152 million of their money in an attempt to build new bridges and widen roads sufficient to cope with growth, the City of Hardeeville in Jasper County is approving new development on a massive scale. In 2000 the City of Hardeeville consisted of less than 2000 residents and had 4.3 square miles of property within its city limits. Through annexation the size of the city has grown to over 51 square miles and the City council has approved the construction of over 60,000 new homes. As a result of this new development the City Hardeeville is projected to grow to a population of 126,000 in 2026.
new officers and directors
The Sea Island Rotary Club of Beaufort held its Installation of Officers and Directors for 2009-2010 recently at Dataw Island Club. The installation was performed by Alice Howard, Assistant Governor of Rotary District 7770. Sea Island Rotary will sponsor two charity events during the next Rotary Year. A Shrimp Race to be held on October 3 in conjunction with the Beaufort Shrimp Festival and a Biathlon on March 6, 2010 at Hunting Island. The proceeds of these events go to local children’s charities and an international cause. The Club meets Tuesdays at noon at St. Peter’s Catholic Church Fellowship Hall.
With the slowdown in the economy the actual growth may or may not occur but the approval for the development will stay on the books. The Strom Thurmond Institute completed a study of growth in Jasper County and concluded that if the average home in Hardeeville has a value of $180,000 or less it will cost more to provide services than the amount of revenue generated. On the other hand, if the average home is valued at $240,000 or more the City will generate a profit. Remember, counties or towns normally do not build or pay for roads or bridges so these cost figures aren’t included in such studies. A good example of why growth sometimes sounds good to a municipality is the approval by the City of Hardeeville for construction of 1.7 million square feet of retail space (equivalent to nine Wal-Mart Super Centers) on the 300 acre Okatie Crossing, located across from Sun City. The project was originally projected to cost $400 million to develop, be completed by 2011 and provide 2,000 permanent jobs paying above average wages. The City of Hardeeville hopes to receive over $2 million each year in business license fees alone plus receiving 10 acres of property to use as a park or similar facility. State law allows a municipality to annex property and approve growth. State law does not address who must pay for the supporting infrastructure. The size and population explosions of Hardeeville and Bluffton are good examples of why we, in northern Beaufort County, are lucky to have elected county and municipal leaders who have, for the last three years, worked together to develop a Northern Regional Plan. This plan is designed to guide the future growth in our area while taking a close look at all of the costs. These same elected officials continue to work together in a united and cooperative effort to insure the area north of the Broad River remains a special place to live, work and raise children.

A way to help Lady’s Island Middle School Courtesy LIBPA Newsletter
It is a well known fact that this is a tight budget year for the Beaufort County School District and Lady’s Island Middle School’s budget is no different. Principal Terry Bennett is looking at every possible source of funding and support to be able to provide that little bit of extra support for the children attending Lady’s Island Middle School. One of the programs he has decided to support is the Campbell’s Labels For Education™ Program which awards free educational merchandise to schools for proof of purchase (labels) of their designated products. Some of the merchandise the school can receive for participating in the program includes computers, audio/visual equipment, physical education equipment, reference books, musical instruments or even a mini-van. Bennett, in addition to his role as school principal, will serve as the coordinator for Lady’s Island Middle’s Labels for Education program. This year’s goal is to collect 10,000 points. To accomplish this will require the Lady’s Island community, in addition to the parents of children attending LIMS, to support the program. It’s easy to pitch in. Simply save product proofs of purchase from any of the following eligible Campbell products and send them to Lady’s Island Middle School. Campbell’s® soups Campbell’s® Select Harvest™ soups Campbell’s Supper Bakes® meal kits SpaghettiOs® Pasta (Original and Meatball) Campbell’s® beans, gravies, and canned pasta Prego® pasta sauces Swanson® broths and canned poultry V8® vegetable juices V8 Splash® juice drinks V8® soups Campbell’s® tomato juice Pepperidge Farm® breads, cookies, crackers, and frozen products Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers Campbell’s Foodservice products For over 30 years, Campbell’s Labels for Education program has awarded over $100 million in merchandise to schools nationwide.

Patty Huckabee, Coosa Elementary Teacher of the Year by John C. Williams
For almost a quarter-century Patty Huckabee has taught in local schools, and for 15 years she worked with the Beaufort County Migrant Program during the summer months. And still, even as she prepares to start a new year at Coosa Elementary, she beams when a child exclaims, “I get it!” “The best thing about my job is hearing the children say ‘I get it!’ I love the excitement of the students when you show them a new project. I also really enjoy learning new ideas, planning and implementing the new ideas for the students,” she said. Huckabee, an Ohio transplant, teaches XX at Coosa. Her colleagues selected her as Coosa’s Teacher of the Year for the 2009-2010 school year, putting her in the running for the Beaufort County School District Teacher of the Year award which includes use of a BMW sedan free for one year, courtesy Hilton Head BMW. The school district’s Teacher of the Year then competes against others across the state for the title of South Carolina’s top teacher. “My greatest accomplishment this past school year,” Huckabee said, “was to complete National Boards time while teaching, tutoring after school, working a part-time job, and being a single parent. “My biggest challenge for this year is to ensure collaboration of all teachers at my grade level and hopefully at all grade levels. “My goal is to become more organized, to start a method for recycling for the teachers and students to use, and to work closer together as a school. Time for sharing is hard in such a large school,” she said. Coosa is expected to again have more than 600
students in its pre-kindergarten through fourth grade setting when classes resume Aug. 17. The school no longer offers fifth grade – an attempt to reduce crowding by moving that grade level to Lady’s Island Intermediate School – but projections are for Coosa to still be over capacity by 100 or more children. Huckabee grew up in central Ohio, attending Barrington Elementary and Jones Junior High in Columbus. She graduated from Buckeye High in Delaware, Ohio, north of Columbus, then went to Bluffton College, now Bluffton University, in Bluffton, Ohio, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary and early childhood education. Five years ago she received her Masters degree from Lesley University. She counts many highlights in her teaching career, but chief among them was the joy to have her son attend the same school where she was teaching. “How wonderful it has been to have my own child with me at the same school when he was younger. It was great to be able to support his education at all times especially as a single parent,” she said. Another special moment was “watching one of my students thrive by helping others peer- edit their writing, and telling me that one day that she would be a teacher. “I go back to my classroom every evening and put my chairs down to make sure everything is ready for my students,” she recalled. “One evening I was running late and I went into my room and found my chairs were already down. The custodian knew I came back every night and he knew I worked one evening a week (at a part-time job), so he took the time to put them down for me. That meant so much to me. Thank you, Mr. Allen.” For Patty Huckabee, there’s no end to the workday. She’s always looking for new ways to engage her students, to keep them interested and to help them see a successful future.

Lowcountry Social Diary Globetrotters return to Beaufort by Lanier Laney
Just back from South Africa is Mayor Billy Keyserling who visited Cape Town and went on a photo safari. He told me that Cape Town is a gorgeous city surrounded by mountains that go down to the sea. His most moving moment came when he visited the Holocaust Memorial there which also commemorates the horrors of apartheid or institutionalized racial segregation that held sway in that country until Nelson Mandela was elected president in 1994. During his photo safari at the Pindha game reserve Billy saw cheetahs, lions and leopards, along with elephants, hippos, rhinos to name just a few. Pictured here are some of the photos he took. continued on page 11

Local News Happenings Street Music on Paris Avenue picks up the beat this month in Port Royal One of the several high-volume events in the tiny town of Port Royal, the Street Music series is a block-party with the amps turned way up – and it’s free. Here’s the upcoming schedule: August 15th: Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers Street Music on Paris Avenue ~ FREE performance in the heart of Old Town Port Royal: 6 p.m. Saturday, August 15th, Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers. Dwayne Dopsie Rubin grew up in Louisiana and is the son of the “King of Zydeco” Alton Rubin Sr. (aka Rockin’ Dopsie.) At the age of four, he played the washboard and, soon after, the accordion to follow in his father’s footsteps. After traveling the zydeco circuit with his family, including appearances on The Dolly Parton Show and Super Bowl 24, Dwayne started his own band and has continued in the family tradition of entertaining with appearance on CBS This Morning, The Travel Channel, Discovery, 20/20, Good Morning America and The Fox Television Network, a feature in Rolling Stones Magazine, and the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Produced by the Arts Council of Beaufort County, 843-379-2787, and presented by the Town of Port Royal, this is the fifth series, fueled by popular demand. Bring your chairs if you think you’ll sit, otherwise just bring your dancing shoes...
The Phantom Sheiks
August 29th: true indie with The Modern Society Formed three years ago over shared musical passions, The Modern Society came together like a big bang of the right place and the right time. After recording five demos and sharing them online to a good response, the band booked their first show with no expectations only to have 400 kids show up. By their third show The Modern Society was nominated for several Atlanta Music Guide awards and shortly thereafter entered the studio to record their debut, The Beat Goes On. September 5: old-time string music with The Phantom Sheiks Street Music on Paris Avenue ~ FREE performance in the heart of Old Town Port Royal: 6pm Saturday, September 5th, old-time string music with The Phantom Sheiks. In the fall of 2007 the Phantom Sheiks were officially born. Davis Inman and Kirk McAlpin have shared a tune or two over the last 15 years, but it was not until they went to the hills of North Carolina that they began to synthesize their love of classic radio tunes with their wide-ranging skills on the stringed instruments that they heard on early recordings from the Deep South. Although temporarily separated by a state, they will set your foot to tappin’ if you are lucky enough to catch them at a party or festival. Armed with guitar, fiddle, mandolin and dobro, these Georgia boys will spin you an original yarn while delighting you with the twang of the great old-time string bands.

“Bill Kirchen rules. It’s just that simple. His no-nonsense diesel guitar attack, powered by great booming, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease, is undoubtedly the real thing, scattering scorching guitar runs in all directions, it’s all immediate, in your face and more than a little dangerous.” — Austin American-Statesman. Bill Kirchen has become widely known for the trademark big-rig guitar riffs that powered the Commander Cody hit “Hot Rod Lincoln” into the Top 10 in 1972. Since 1993, he has recorded seven critically acclaimed albums of his own that have made him one of the musical elder statesmen of today’s Americana music. He received a Grammy nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance 2001, and is considered a Titan of the Telecaster guitar by Guitar Player magazine. His new album is Hammer of the Honky-Tonk Gods from Proper Records.

Beaufort Youth Orchestra Quartet earns local arts grant The Beaufort Youth Orchestra Quartet received an arts grant from the Arts Council of Beaufort County recently that will help buy an audio system for the string quartet that plays in various outdoor venues in Beaufort. Organizers said this is a great opportunity for the chamber group to play in more outdoor venues where previously the sound quality presented challenges. “We will announce our first performance with the new equipment as soon as it is scheduled. The quartet is diligently working on some new pieces to perform,’ BYO parent liaison Ron Maddox said. The youth quartets are part of the Beaufort Youth Orchestra that includes brass, woodwinds, percussion and strings. The orchestra is comprised of 40+ young artists from a dozen schools including public, private and home schools. Several students come as far away as Savannah each week for 2 ½ hour rehearsals. In November 2008 the quartets were formed to play smaller venues around town, and quickly became a popular performance at Beauforts’ many outdoor events and festivals, Maddox said. Originally, the small ensembles played in the Performing Arts Center lobby prior to
the Beaufort Orchestra concerts. However, the young musicians ranging in ages from 12 to 17 quickly received requests from several other venues including art fund raising, Grand Openings, and festival events. The quartet has performed for groups at Dataw, Habersham, Outback Steakhouse and the Waterfront Park. The master teacher for the quartet is Fred Devyatkin, the Beaufort Orchestra maestro. Maestro Devyatkin has served as the conductor for the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra (BSO) since 1992. In the spring of 1999 Devyatkin, with the support of the Orchestra Board, founded the Beaufort Youth Orchestra. Ami Rabinowitz is the Quartet chamber group coach. Ami is a private strings teacher and professional violist with the Beaufort Orchestra and she can be reached at 575-2785. Ami is a former BYO member where she started many years ago and now volunteers her time giving back what she received as a BYO musician. Auditions are August 27, 5:30 p.m. at the Beaufort High School Band room for any students that are interested in playing in the orchestra. For information on auditions or the youth quartets, please contact Ron Maddox, BYO Parent liaison, 8423 263-2190 or email Maddox.ron@gmail.com. The Island News

To get a fun preview of all the upcoming classes at ARTworks, attend the free ARTsplash Free-for-Fall to sample mini-sessions on August 14, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Instructors will demonstrate and answer all those questions like “how did you make that?!” and “what does that mean anyway?” Lisa Clancey is a resident artist at ARTworks and one of the instructors who will help answer such questions. “Through the use of theater games and improvisation activities, we’ll enjoy pretending together. The emphasis won’t be a on a culminating performance, but rather the experience of using the actor’s toolbox-- our bodies, voices and imagination,” she said. “This improves communication skills and confidence, and above all, it’s fun to explore theater arts. This creative dramatics class is an opportunity for kids to explore theater and storytelling on the stage.” Victoria Smalls is the visual artist who will lead the AFTERschool session in pastels.”I use pastels in my own work,” she explained “Pastels are pure pigment, the same used in acrylic and oil paints. We’ll mix and blend colors, and have fun. It’s a very manipulative technique, using hands and fingers. It feels effortless, and there’s not a lot of materials, simply the pastels, your hands and the paper. It’s fun for children. “The best aspect to me is the colors, the beautiful blues that you see in Lowcountry, in the water and in the sky, blending in one color to another, blending to make new hues, creating a new color you didn’t think exists,” Smalls said.
The schedule includes:
Tuesdays beginning August 25 • Performing Arts ~ Choral Music Marlena Smalls, Instructor ~ Ages 8 14 Students get a special opportunity to learning choral singing and songs from world-renowned performer, Marlena Smalls, founder of the Hallelujah Singers. • Performing Arts ~ Puppetry Yostie Ashley, Instructor ~ Ages 6 - 8 Explore puppet-making and puppetry.

Could gum disease be killing you? by Stephen W. Durham, DMD, FAGD
Monday night is Family Pasta Night! Featuring select Plums’ Pasta Dishes, $10
Some of the most frustrated patients we treat are ones who are losing their teeth. Today people realize there is no equal substitution for their own healthy real teeth. Most people even detest the idea of wearing removable partials or dentures. Some people however, have resigned themselves to getting dentures because of the dental problems they have experienced with their natural teeth. Because of these problems, they feel anything is better than their natural teeth, including dentures. This thought is far from the truth. What they do not realize is losing their teeth will adversely affect their health in many ways. However, edentulism (the loss of all teeth) can shorten one’s lifespan by an average of 10 years. It also substantially reduces quality of life, self image, and normal daily function. Many years ago, dentures were the easiest way to change one’s smile… the original cosmetic dentistry. I doubt anyone in today’s high-tech world would now believe edentulism is still the best option for their health and well being. The most common reason for edentulism is periodontal disease (gum disease). This is a slowly progressive disease that in most cases causes no pain. Its damage is done over a long period of time. Periodontal disease affects up to 80% of our adult population. Most people are unaware of the problem, which is why damage can be extensive before symptoms force one to seek help. The disease is mainly caused by plaque and tartar, but can be exaggerated by crowded or spaced teeth, tobacco use, poor diet, systemic conditions, ill fitting dental work and an imbalanced bite.

Many medical conditions can be made worse by gum disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Also noted is the increased risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, pneumonia, osteoporosis, stroke, and premature or low birth weight babies. Warning signs of periodontal disease include: Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing Increased space between teeth Sensitivity Bad breath or taste Change in the fit of a partial Loose teeth Red or swollen gums Even though prevention is always best, the good news is that periodontal disease can be controlled or arrested. In its earlier stages, it can even be reversed. Newer techniques can make the treatment of moderate to severe cases of periodontal disease a lot easier and less painful than solutions of the past. One newer procedure, called LANAP, uses an FDA-approved laser to treat the disease. The laser requires no cutting, causes little down time, and is virtually pain free. Look for these above listed warning signs, and if you notice any of them please see your dentist. Remember, prevention is best! Be on top of your dental health by being checked regularly at least every six months. Floss and brush twice a day with toothpaste that carries the ADA seal of acceptance. Eat a healthy diet and avoid tobacco use. Good dental health is a result of good self-care. Dr. Stephen Durham offers a variety of dental services including sedation dentistry, PerioLase for scalpel-free gum surgery, smile makeovers in as little as two visits and naturallooking implants for missing teeth.

Early start date
by Ethard Van Stee
The Victorian novelist Mary Anne Evans is better known as George Eliot. Early in her career she took fellow women novelists to task and, at the age of 37, had her 1859 essay Silly Novels by Lady Novelists published in the Westminster Review. The essay is one of a collection in a delightful anthology Victorian Prose, edited by Rosemary Mundhenk and LuAnn Fletcher (Columbia University Press, 1999). Mrs. Gaskell, the feminist Harriet Martineau, Charlotte Bronte, and Frances Trollope (mother of Anthony), among others, were her friends or contemporaries. Eliot does not identify the silly novelists to whom she refers, but it is probably safe to assume that the aforementioned were not among them. So, what does was she mean by a “silly novel?” Her essay runs to six pages of eight-point type. In it, she goes on and on about the vacuity of silly novels, the endless repetition of stereotyped clichés; heroines who are always high born and the most intelligent, the wisest, the most beautiful, and usually the wealthiest of women. They do not suffer men gladly, although they have lovers and may well marry among the weaker
ones. “They mistake vagueness for depth, bombast for elegance, and affectation for originality; she struts on one page, rolls her eyes on another, grimaces in a third, and is hysterical in a fourth.” Eliot ends her critique by observing that “In all labour there is profit; but ladies’ silly novels, we imagine, are less the result of labor than of busy idleness. [Furthermore], in novel writing, there are no external criteria to prevent a writer from mistaking foolish facility for mastery.” Ouch. Reading Eliot’s essay while involuntarily superimposing my own efforts on her template, raises the fear I may be following in the footsteps of her maligned Victorian colleagues as I engage in “busy idleness.” However, what Eliot misses, in this essay at least, is the entertainment value of novels that do not rise to her standards. I have always believed that it is better to read fiction of modest quality than not to read at all, and that the activity is certainly to be preferred to boring holes in your brain in front of a TV set.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
Holism can’t be done halfway by Tracie Korol
I am currently reading Anticancer, A New Way of Life by David ServanSchreiber, MD, PhD. It is an interesting account of his 15-year journey from disease (brain tumor) to relapse, to scientific exploration and finally, to health. He advocates a radical change in the way we understand and confront cancer in the areas of nutrition, exercise, stress management and environmental toxins. I read for a while yesterday afternoon and upon looking up realized my windows were so grubby at dog nose level they might present a microbe hazard. As I reached for my traditional window-cleaning spray, the blue stuff, I stopped. This is exactly what the author was talking about. Mr. B, a husky-Lab cross, licks his paws incessantly. His feet are always damp from his attentions and the skin between his toes is pink and scabby. Steroids, antibiotics and antihistamines have not cured his itch. His owner improved his diet to rule out a food allergy, added home-cooked food to his better-grade kibble, mixed in digestive enzymes and a vitamin supplement. But his problem wasn’t improving. His owner lit up a cigarette, sat down at Mr. B’s side and asked, “Is this whole natural pet care thing just a waste of time?” This question is not unique. Many pet owners will abandon their pursuit of animal wellness and return to old ways of feeding bargain-basement foods and spending huge amounts of money on symptomatic treatment of their dogs’ ailments. Is it because natural remedies don’t work and natural-recipe foods are a waste of money? No. In this case of Mr. B’s holistically inclined owner, failure to achieve desirable results does not rest with the food and supplements but with the general mindset. Mr. B’s problem stems from what his owner has not considered. Mr. B is well nourished and the supplements are improving his immune function. But he’s not going to get any better until his owner looks at the Big Picture. Mr. B’s paws may be covered in sores because he is allergic to the organophosphates, pesticides and fertilizers his owner sprays on the yard. He may be sensitive to second-hand cigarette smoke; there is no reason to believe that it is any less harmful to dogs than humans. Mr. B may be sensitive to the spot-on pesticide the manufacturers
claim is only toxic to sucking insects. Mr. B may simply be anxious and irritable and chewing his feet because his owner is addicted to really loud hip-hop. A holistic lifestyle, or one heading in that direction, is not simply a matter of using products that have the word “natural” on the label. I am reminded of the power of advertising each time an owner tells me that his dog is eating holistically because the grocery store kibble he buys has pictures of vegetables on the bag. That some of the kibble is green or orange does not mean there are real vegetables in the mix. It means that some of the kibble bits are dyed with cancercausing chemicals. But, even the best-of-the-best kibble cannot guarantee any greater level of health unless it is used as part of an entire holistic agenda. Dr. Servan-Schreiber states in his book that thinking holistically also means addressing parts of our lives we really would rather ignore. To carry it further, we should be also looking at how those uncomfortable parts of our lives may contribute to the misery in our dog’s lives. Loud music, angry arguments, exhaust leaks in the car, noisy vehicles, new carpets and vinyl floors, fresh paint, wood smoke, fireworks or even a box of chocolate left on the coffee table may contribute to our dog’s risk of illness. Moving toward adopting a completely holistic lifestyle can be difficult, but manageable if done one small step at a time. Because I am cheap, I’m not going to throw out my bottle of blue window cleaner, but I am not going to buy another one, for the sake of my health and the health of my animals. Understanding the Big Picture is what true love and true healing are all about, isn’t it? Want more information about creating a healthier lifestyle for you and your dogs?
