By Wendy Pollitzer

Many kids and teachers head back to school next week, and we’re all anticipating a good scholastic year, maybe a winning football season and rekindled friendships from those we haven’t seen all summer.

And, we’re on the cusp of frequent morning school bus stops and the dreaded three o’clock bumper-to-bumper traffic on Lady’s Island when school lets out.

And, hopefully (well, for sure) have a little fun along the way.

While most are going back to the same school, just a different grade, there are those who are about to begin a new chapter and the most important leg of their journey in life: college.

Ashten explains, ”I received a 4-year, full tuition Army ROTC Scholarship to the Citadel. I am attending the Citadel because of the discipline, military lifestyle, school tradition, and the Honor System that the school demands of their Cadets. The campus is beautiful and the uniforms

But we love it! Parents love it, kids love it and teachers, well, let’s hope they love it! I think they do. It’s time to get back on schedule after a fun summer.

The Class Ring is an important symbol of achievement, as this is an institution that will change your life forever.

Rethink Business Model to Jumpstart the Jasper Port

By Tom Davis

Two weeks ago marked the second anniversary of a landmark event in the development of a new maritime port on the Savannah River in Jasper County. Two years ago – on July 29, 2008, to be exact – the Georgia Department of Transportation conveyed the 1,517-acre port site to a new bi-state joint venture owned equally by South Carolina and Georgia.

The plan was for the new port to start handling shipping containers when capacity at the existing public ports in Savannah and Charleston (about 12 million containers a year, combined) was exhausted, projected to occur in or around 2018. And the bistate joint venture has done a good job the past two years of laying the groundwork for a new container port.

As a result of the economic recession, however, it is now estimated that container capacity in Charleston and Savannah will not be reached until 2024, or perhaps longer, and politicians and port officials in both states have responded by putting plans for the Jasper port on the back burner.

I think that is a mistake and a waste of a tremendous South Carolina economic asset.

What is needed, instead, is a different way of thinking about the new port. If demand has ebbed for a new mega-container terminal – and it clearly has – then attention should be paid to attracting the types of shipping business not targeted by Charleston and Savannah. In this regard, I think there are three things that state legislators in South Carolina and Georgia should keep in mind next year as they consider the bi-state compact that will chart the course of the Jasper port.

First, direct it to go after short sea shipping, also known as “blue highway” business, which moves cargo along our coastal and inland waterways, and have it fitted for the roll-on/roll-off (RORO) and lift-on/lift off (LOLO) barges used by such operations.

For example, a private investor in the Augusta-Aiken area wants to reopen the Savannah River for cargo navigation; the Jasper port would be a great “ocean link” for a sister port up-river. Transporting cargo in this manner is favored by the federal governments and grant money is available for the necessary infrastructure.

Second, limit its operations to the smaller shippers that carry break-bulk and/or containers on deck, including the small independent container carriers that now

operate in the Caribbean and along the east coast South America and that use smaller-tier ports like Port Everglades and Fernandina. These smaller shippers are not favored by the public ports in Savannah and Charleston since they typically do not maintain fixed schedules, have slower vessel discharge rates and require extra services.

Third, have it cater to and accommodate refrigerated- or frozen-good shipping operations, especially those that import and export poultry, beef and other perishables. This business is a huge missed opportunity. Poultry products, for example, earn more than any other Georgia crop, with an estimated $13.5 billion economic impact annually, yet Pascagoula and Jacksonville handle the shipping because the necessary facilities are neither available nor wanted in Savannah. The Jasper port could and should capture that business.

In short, start thinking about the Jasper port as a niche site for rapid turnarounds, not as a traditional container terminal; align it with existing economic need.

Jasper County and the nearby counties need jobs now, not in 2024 or sometime beyond, and going after this other shipping business makes economic sense. Terminal operators and stevedores are eager for

the opportunity, right now, to invest their capital and do business at a Jasper port.

It makes sense for other reasons, too.

It makes political sense in that those with vested interests in the Charleston and Savannah ports will not view the Jasper port as a threat to their container business. It makes environmental sense in that the smaller ships would not need a deeper channel dredged. And the smaller footprint of these initial operations (less than 100 acres of the 1,517-acre port site would be needed) would make cooperation by the Corps of Engineers, in terms of permitting and having it release its spoil disposal easement, more likely.

Success relatively quickly at this more modest level would beget success at higher levels in the future; the initial operations would not prevent the Jasper port from handling the larger container traffic when that finally became necessary. Most importantly, it would be a move beyond the concept of a new port on the Savannah River in Jasper County to a working commercial enterprise that actually creates jobs and wealth.

Tom Davis is the State Senator for Beaufort County.

News BMH Adds Cardiologists to Medical Staff to Meet Community Need Beaufort Memorial Hospital welcomes the addition of three new cardiologists to its medical staff in August. Drs. David Harshman and Thom Schultz have formed Beaufort Cardiology, located in Suite 300 of the Beaufort Medical Plaza, next to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. They will begin seeing patients in August. They are employed by Roper St. Francis Health Care System in Charleston. Stuart Smalheiser, MD has joined and is employed by Lowcountry Medical Group and will also begin seeing patients in August. He plans to do his interventional cardiology procedures at MUSC Hospital, while Drs. Harshman and Schultz will do theirs at Roper/St. Francis hospitals.

Dr. Erasme Coly, a cardiologist, has been on Beaufort Memorial’s medical staff since 2001. He completed his cardiology fellowship at the University Hospitals of Cleveland – Case Western Reserve in 1996. His practice is Coastal Cardiovascular Clinic. He has been doing his interventional procedures at St. Joseph/Candler in Savannah.

“Because we don’t yet have the ability to offer interventional cardiology services at Beaufort Memorial, it makes sense for our cardiologists to have clinical relationships to do their interventional work at tertiary hospitals,” says BMH President & CEO Rick Toomey. “The State Health Plan requires a hospital to document having done a certain number of non-interventional cardiac

procedures before you can apply to offer interventional procedures. By having these cardiologists living and working in Beaufort, our patients can get most of what they need close to home, and we can build our numbers to justify the need for interventional cardiology procedures at Beaufort Memorial. In the meantime, any interventional work can be done at hospitals in Savannah or Charleston.”

Dr. David Harshman has moved to his second home on Fripp Island from Missouri. He has been in private practice since 1984 with Cardiology Specialists in St. Louis, and with Bi-State Cardiology Specialists in Maryville, Illinois. During that time, he has also served as Director of Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories in hospitals in Missouri and Illinois.

A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, Dr. Harshman completed his residency in Internal Medicine at St. Louis University Hospitals, where he also completed a Fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases. He is Board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases and added qualifications in Interventional Cardiology.

Dr. Thomas Schultz arrived in Beaufort in late July, following completion of his Post-Doctorate training in Interventional Cardiology at the University of Connecticut at Hartford

Hospital. He received his training in Internal Medicine and General Cardiology at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois.

Dr. Schultz received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Ohio University College of Osteopathic Dr. David Harshman Medicine in Athens, Ohio. He received his undergraduate degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Board Eligible in Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine.

Dr.Stuart Smalheiser received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. He received his undergraduate degree in 1998 from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He completed an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Florida Dr. Thom Schultz in Jacksonville, following completion of a General Cardiology Fellowship there in 2009.

Dr. Smalheiser also completed a Fellowship in Nuclear Cardiology Research at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, after completing his internship and residency in Internal Medicine there. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Nuclear Cardiology, Level 3.

Our field of expertise is general dentistry. We do refer some procedures to specialists as we feel the patient should be in the hands of someone who does that procedure day in and day out. For example, you deserve more than a few weekend courses when it comes to having implants placed.

Our staff will work with your insurance to obtain your maximum benefits, many times resubmitting claims if we feel you've been treated unfairly.

When asked what interested him in becoming an SRO, he explained that he had prior experience with a cadet program in Ohio that assisted with search and rescue operations.

During that time he enjoyed training and working with the young men and women on that team. When he was going through the field-training program with the Beaufort Police department he observed how the SROs worked in the schools and felt that he could make a positive contribution in that area.

impress him about Officer Hatchett, but most of all is his attitude. Speaking of Hatchett, he says, “He is the kind of person who gladly goes above and beyond what he is asked to do.”

Chief Clancy agreed and mentioned the impressive work ethic that Hatchett exhibits.

“He is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met,” Chief Clancy said.

Clancy related an incident where Officer Hatchett was washing his patrol car at the station and just kept on washing every car that he could get the hose to reach.

“He didn’t do it for accolades or attention. It is just the type of person he is,” explained Clancy.

Officer Hatchett worked on many programs to make the schools better and safer. He set a great example for the students and enjoyed interacting with and getting to know them.

He feels that seeing cooperation between the students, parents, and school staff was the most rewarding part of being an SRO.

English is Officer Hatchett’s second language, and his Spanish language skills have been an After serving on patrol for several years, the asset to the department as well. Now that he opportunity to go to a school presented itself; is back on uniformed patrol, he is using the and he dedicated himself to the job. knowledge he gained to train other officers and will make himself available if the other SROs Lt.

St. Peter’s Catholic School Monday, August 16 Macaroni and Cheese Salad

School News Changes abound at St. Peter School By: Christopher A. Trott, Principal Most summers at a school are filled with quiet halls, but not at St. Peter Catholic School. From the moment the children stepped foot out the door to begin their summer break, the maintenance, school and parish staffs have collectively begun revamping the building. The process started with the parish social hall, which the school uses daily for its lunch program and cafeteria. The room will be as much a spirit room as anything else since it received a fresh coat of paint that reflects the school colors—red and gold. A core group of volunteers will soon be coming in to paint the school crest, the school mascot (Cardinals), and the keys of St. Peter on the walls.

Student work will also be hung proudly in the redecorated room.

Through the work of our ParentTeacher Organization and our annual Oyster Roast fundraiser, the school has also taken a leap into the technology of today. Five new Promethean Boards are currently being installed in the school.

This technology puts the internet and all of its resources at the fingertips of our teachers and our students. A new computer lab, outfitted with twenty desktop computers, is in the process of being developed in the school media center. With this new lab, St. Peter Catholic School will now offer as a part of its regular program computer classes for the grades. Students will continue to enhance their learning of technology through this class.

St. Peter Catholic School is also incorporating into its scheduling next year Drama classes and a Writing Workshop. The Drama class will be

offered to students in grades fourth through eighth grade. Under the direction of Mrs. Wendy Lacombe, who over the years has helped to direct many of the school musicals and programs, students will learn the intricacies of drama productions and literature, the fundamentals of acting skills and drama’s role in culture. One of the goals of the program will be to take the school’s drama programs to a new level and the possibility of having more programs throughout the year.

The Writing Workshop is a mini-class offered once a week to students in grades three through eight. This tagged-team course taught by Mrs. Claire Coffman and me will focus directly on the writing process. The main goals are for students to be able to organize their thoughts appropriately through diagrams and brainstorming, maintain sentence and paragraph structure and flow, work specifically on a type of writing genre (i.e. how to papers, persuasive essays, business letters, etc.) from start to finish and reinforce the grammar that is being instructed in the regular Language Arts classes. These two courses, plus our opportunity to switch from Algebra II to Geometry for advanced math students, are once again helping St. Peter Catholic School to raise the bar higher in Catholic education.

After careful consideration at the end of the school year, St. Peter Catholic School will also extend the school day by an additional fifteen minutes. The school day will be from 8 am to 3 pm with doors opening at 7:45 am and dismissal ending at 3:15 pm. By adding time to the schedule, it provides extra learning opportunities in the classroom and an opportunity at the end of the school day to come together and pray. It also allows for the school to completely work into the schedule the new courses St. Peter is offering.

With these changes being made this summer, an energized attitude has swept across the campus. Many thanks go to the work and passion of our pastor, Rev. Fr. Timothy D. Tebalt, along with multitude of staffers and volunteers who have taken on this mission of change at St. Peter Catholic School.

With so much taking place, our school is looking forward to opening its doors for the 19th time this coming school year.

Well enough’s enough. Two weeks now I’ve been in love with red wines, and maybe, for sure is more like it, I’ll get back to them.

But this heat and humidity don’t make it easy. This week, it just has to be white, cold, dry, cold, crisp, cold, clean, cold, new, but definitely cold. And luckily I have a nice one to take care of me.

All these wines we’ve talked about and it occurs to me we’ve never even thought of Chenin Blanc. I guess, to be accurate, it’s been up to me and I haven’t even remembered this white grape variety. The thing about Chenin Blancs is that there is a huge variety of styles to be tried, in a really wide range of prices. Part of my problem is the ones that I’ve usually really liked have been more expensive and hard to find here.

And with so many other wines handy, that I do like, I guess I figure why pay more and work so hard to spend my money. Chenin Blanc is a grape variety that has probably reached its greatest heights in the Loire Valley in France. Here, it makes a range of wines from very dry through multiple stages to very sweet and sparkling as well. Most of you have probably tried a Vouvray at some point, a town in the Loire that grows only Chenin Blanc. In all fairness, the grape in this soil and climate tastes different from anywhere else in the world; cooler areas like the Loire produce wines with delicate, floral characteristics and hints of melon.

Outside of the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc is grown many other places. Most of us who have tried Chenins have come across some from California. And most of us have not been thrilled with them because so many California producers have used this grape to make sweeter and or fruitier style wines. In all fairness, these are well made wines, but there is the big “but.” They have been great wines for people who like Rieslings and White Zinfandels, because of their style,

On the other side of the world, though, there is a country who for years has made really good Chenin Blancs. In the mid-1960’s, it was discovered that South Africa had been growing Chenin for years. We just never knew it, for good reason. In South Africa, they had called theirs Steen, sometimes spelled Stein. Here, like in France, they make dry and sweet wines from this grape, and include it in a lot of their sparkling wines as well.

In South Africa, there is the Riebeek Valley.

Chenin Blanc is their unofficial drink. For them, it is the perfect every day wine that offers uncomplicated quality that satifies both novices and connoisseurs.

The wines’ fruit flavors are balanced by crisp acidity. Royal Vineyards, in the Riebeek Valley, makes The Royal Chenin Blanc.

Unwooded (Remember the word“unoaked?”

Unwooded means the same thing!) Chenin Blanc comes from forty-eight year old vines.

We can’t even imagine forty-eight year old Chenin vines in U.S. And, when you taste this wine, it is soooooo different that any other Chenin. It is dry, and clean, and crisp, but the flavors include some apple, some pear, some quince, some peach, but also some spiciness. The spiciness is not quite cinnamon or baking spices, but if you think of coriander it’s close. All in all, the first sip of this wine is exactly what we all need this time of year. New, but friendly, different but comfortable. One sip, and you’ve got your end of the day taken care of. And, guess how much? More friendly and comfortable - $ 8.99. Yippee, come and get us you hot, humid weather, you. Enjoy!

Profile Dr. Aaron Sarathy, DMD Joins Port Royal Oral & Facial Surgery after Serving 12 Years in the US Navy

By Wendy Pollitzer

Dr. Aaron Sarathy, has recently joined Port Royal Oral & Facial Surgery with Dr. Simons Hane Jr., DMD, and he’s excited and resolute to continue his service to the Lowcountry in private practice after 12 years in the US Navy.

Dr. Sarathy is as easy going as you could imagine. He admits, “It’s a requirement to live in the Lowcountry.” After chatting with him at his office at 14-B Marshellen Drive, I quickly realized how down to earth he is. He’s quick witted, yet humble and laidback, but serious about his practice and the care his patients receive.

Dr. Sarathy completed a General Practice Residency at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, VA. He served overseas in Naples, Italy as a general practitioner for two years. He completed his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency in 2006 at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD.

2006. “I was chief resident and we were on call for head and neck trauma that evening.

I was involved in his initial treatment which required removing shrapnel and repairing severe lacerations to his face.” recalls Sarathy.

“He suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that was managed by our team at Navy and Army.”

“Our staff is the best! They are 100% dedicated to the practice and more importantly, to our patients,” says Sarathy.

Dr. Sarathy grew up in Charleston. Salt water runs through his blood. He couldn’t imagine working or raising a family anywhere else but the Lowcountry. He, his wife, Dr. Jennifer Wallace and his kids, Brayden (8) and Taylor (4) enjoy fishing, diving and just getting out on the river for a day of cruising along with the family dog, Ellie.

If he wasn’t sure if small town life was ideal, he has no doubt now and absolutely loves it! “Beaufort has a rural charm, but is just urbanite enough; I love the water and everything about it, and Beaufort has plenty of it!” laughs Sarathy.

Dr. Sarathy completed his undergraduate education at USC, finishing with a B.A. in Philosophy. He then went on to MUSC and graduated from the Dental School in 1998.

While attending MUSC, he received a US Navy scholarship. Following graduation, he entered active duty in the US Navy and served till the summer of 2010.

The Island News

Since 2006, Dr. Sarathy has been treating Navy personnel, US Marines and recruits at both the Naval Hospital and Parris Island. Two and one half years ago, he began talking to Dr. Hane about joining his practice when Dr. Sarathy’s tour of duty was over. And just recently, that’s exactly what he did.

Dr. Hane’s motto at Port Royal Oral & Facial Surgery has always been, “Treat people the right way, how you or your family would like to be treated, and everything will work itself out.” Drs. Sarathy and Hane live by that motto. And it’s evident throughout the office, from the modern facilities to the extra-bubbly and friendly staff.

“My goal here, as an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon is to provide our community with the best oral and facial surgical care possible. Our practice constantly strives to make sure Beaufortonians don’t have to drive to Charleston or Hilton Head for quality care,” explains Sarathy. “And I love the fact that I run into patients everywhere I go; Beaufort still has that small town feel, and I love that!”

But admittedly, he was a little nervous about moving to Beaufort, a much smaller community than our neighbor to the North, the Holy City. “We originally had plans to move home to Charleston. The US Navy, however, had other plans for me.

You have to admit Beaufort, SC was going to be a dramatic change from Washington DC, where I did my surgical residency! I remember driving into Beaufort and seeing the sunset over the water, and knew this could work. Besides, Best Buy had just opened! One year later, Jennifer and I couldn’t live anywhere else! We’ve been here 5 years now and have never looked back.”

who made repeated visits to Navy and Walter Reed to lift spirits of wounded troops. “I could’ve taken him, I think,” jokes Sarathy.

Tina Ashmore (Office Manager), Carla Anderson (Insurance and Financial Assistant), Dawn Walz (Surgical Assistant) and Leslie McNaughton (Surgical Assistant) are instrumental in providing the best surgical care possible. By the end of the interview; and by the time I left, I felt like they were all close buddies. You can tell Dr. Sarathy and Dr. Hane keep it fun in the office without sacrificing quality care.

“My residency was the most taxing and rewarding professional experience of my life.

From a training standpoint, I was fortunate to gain exposure to some of the cutting edge techniques in head and neck trauma surgery.” While at the National Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Dr. Sarathy underwent additional training at Washington Hospital Center, University of Maryland Medical Center Shock Trauma Unit, and University of Miami/ Jackson Memorial Medical Center. In addition, Dr. Sarathy received extensive training in corrective jaw surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and surgical pathology.

He has definitely had some unique experiences. “I was on call the night Robert Woodruff returned to Bethesda Naval Hospital, just a few days after his incident.”

Bob Woodruff is the ABC television journalist who was critically wounded in a roadside bomb attack in Taji, Iraq in January,

By February of 2007, Woodruff resumed his contributions to ABC World News with Charles Gibson with the first in a series of follow up reports focusing on the problems that wounded American soldiers are encountering in their treatment and recovery, particularly at Walter Reed Army Medical Center Center.

The most important thing for Sarathy in treating our sailors, marines, soldiers, and airmen is the fact that, “…after all the surgery is done, what you’re left with are the patients and their families; and, you get to see first-hand the sacrifices our troops and their families make on a daily basis to defend our country. These guys are the true heroes. It made serving in the US Navy as an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon an honor and a real source of pride.”

On a fun note, Dr. Sarathy has also had the pleasure of shaking the hands of George W. Bush and famous wrestler, Hulk Hogan,

Port Royal Oral & Facial Surgery specializes in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery to include dental-alveolar surgery (surgical removal of impacted/non-impacted teeth and pre-prosthetic surgery), dental implants, soft-tissue augmentation and bone grafting of the jaws for reconstruction, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), surgery of the jaws for OSA, facial cosmetic surgery (Botox, fillers, eye and brow surgery, etc.) facial trauma (lacerations, jaw fractures, etc.), management of pathology (cysts and tumors in the jaws, and biopsies/treatment of oral lesions).

“I love the uniqueness of our specialty and what we can do for people with it, from routine oral surgical procedures to lifechanging jaw surgery and facial cosmetic procedures.” says Sarathy.

Thanks to the entire staff at Port Royal Oral & Facial Surgery for a pleasant and accommodating visit. Your practice is a class act! And, congratulations Dr. Sarathy for serving our country honorably and beginning this next chapter in your life.

News Consigning 101

Pressing the Pause Button With temperatures at a seriously blazing 100º this afternoon, we are happily sitting inside our air conditioned home enjoying a movie and eating popcorn. Well, my children are watching the “box” as I am watching them. Their hands so small wrapped around the bowls and their teeth the size of Chicklets gum engulfing every bite, and I suddenly think ‘Where does the time go?’

People say ‘time flies,’ and while I would never disagree, today it is hitting me… hard….like a ton of bricks. The little wonder that was not much bigger than a bag of sugar in my arms is now an athlete, a friend, and asking for his own cell phone.

Just yesterday, I was helping him learn to write his name, and today he is working on a MAC. Days move slowly, but years have travelled at a pace too fast. On Facebook (yes, admittedly, I do read it), a young girl who is leaving for college in a few weeks typed her status: ‘wish I had a pause button.’ It made me catch my breath- ME TOO! I love today so much I want to savor it, bottle it up, and cherish it.

With that being said, I have to really work at stopping to smell the roses- I get caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day- Is the laundry done? Are the lunches made? Did I make the calls for the local fundraiser? There is so much to do and

with so little time.

Here we go again with that four letter word…..time. We need more of it- time to give our children the attention they deserve, listen to stories about their days, read one more book at bedtime, and scratch their backs to help them fall asleep. What the mother (and my dear friend) would not give to have a little more of this precious time with her daughter who is about to embark on a new phase of life away from home, in a new college town, and sadly, apart from her mother.

I, too, am facing the reality of my child starting school. Although our school is just a few miles away as opposed to a few hours, it is separation. A door is opening for both our children- hers is college while mine is day school. We are trying to each embrace it, relish in, and be proud of our creations.

Honestly, I just wish I had a channel master to life, and I could press the pause button.

Please let me dive into an endless pool of time that will let me soak up my children.

Please let me appreciate them and laugh at their silliness. Please let me put that unnecessary band-aid on what is really not a boo-boo. Please let me love them and enjoy them, and please give me just a little bit more time.

by Melissa Kinard of De Ja Vu Upscale Resale

I watched a new series on TV the other day and was hit with the reality of what happens when a person can’t part with anything.

Their possessions begin to pile up, spilling out of closets and taking over their lives.

Apparently they are unfamiliar with their friendly local consignment shop! If you fear that you too may someday be featured on “Oprah” “Dr. Phil” or “Hoarders” here is a crash course on how to avoid it.

1. Start with your bedroom. Is the closet crammed with things you never wear?

Items “NWT” or “new with tags” bring a premium in resale. I If you haven’t worn it in a year or just know you will never wear it again due to a change in weight or style preference, put it in the resale pile. Missing buttons, broken zippers, and stains are a big “no no” however. Repair it, donate it, trash it.

2. Consider your shoe wardrobe. Most women own more than one pair of shoes than they ever can or will wear. Those red pumps you wore once on New Years Eve? Let someone else wear them once or twice. New and very gently worn shoes are another great seller.

3. Do you carry the same purse day after day? Yes? Well then, those other 15 in your closet are begging to be recycled. Check all pockets and zippers to make sure you don’t take them out with anything valuable left inside. (like that Ben Franklin you were hiding for a rainy day!)

4. Now make your kids give you all the clothes under their bed and stuffed into the bottom of the closet. Wash them and bring in what you know they have now outgrown.

5. Now take it all in to a great consignment shop and let the friendly staff help you make some extra dough!

Doesn’t that feel better now? You have decluttered, helped the environment by keeping stuff out of the landfill, made a little money, and given your clothes a second chance to be worn by a thrifty customer.

Now that your closet is bare, you even have an excuse to go shopping!

The Price of Beauty Courtesy of Salon 10

One-stop shopping has always been my personal style; the convenience of buying all the necessities (and not-so-necessary) items on my list in one store is a luxury that I appreciate and utilize. I think it is safe to say that I am not alone when it comes to being at the mercy of convenience and sometimes disregarding the real price we pay.

One specific example is grabbing a professional salon product off the shelf of your favorite grocery/drug store, allowing yet another item to be crossed off your daily to-do list. As simple as that sounds, it takes a toll on the pocketbook and the products are not even guaranteed to be the “real McCoy.” People trying to budget or save pennies should be aware that professional salon products in a convenient, chain store are almost always 10-30% more expensive than being purchased at a salon. Also, salons

guarantee the quality of their products and have experienced professionals who offer “prescriptive” advice for product usage.

The selling of professional beauty products at unauthorized retailers (typically supermarkets and drugstores) is called diversion. These are some risks you may run by purchasing a diverted product: * Overpaying * Contaminated or compromised * Counterfeit * Expired or not latest formula * No guarantees from manufacturer If there are any hair suggestions we can offer or topics you would like us to address, please do not hesitate to email us at salon10market@hargray.com.

News The Truth About Cataracts Are Your Teeth as White As They Could Be?

By Dr. Mark Siegel

Did you know that 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts, one of the most curable causes of vision loss?

Dr. Siegel

To recognize Cataract Awareness Month in August, Eye M.D.s want to debunk the myths about cataracts and remind people they don’t have to live with vision loss from cataracts.

A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s normally clear lens, blocking the passage of light needed for vision. They form slowly and cause no pain. Some stay small and hardly affect vision, but if the cataract does grow and begin to affect your vision, it can usually be removed with surgery.

“Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide; however, in most cases, vision loss from cataracts is reversible,” said Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, an ophthalmologist in Beaufort. “New techniques developed over the past decade have made cataract surgery one of the safest and most successful procedures available in terms of restoring quality of life to patients.” Each year there are more than 1.6 million of these delicate eye surgeries performed in the United States.

“There are no drugs or exercises that will make a cataract disappear, and contrary to popular belief, cataracts are not removed using lasers. Lasers are used in follow-up procedures, if needed. Cataract surgery is most often done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia,” says Dr. Siegel.“The cloudy natural lens can be replaced with an artificial lens to give the eye proper focusing power. In most cases, the improvement in the patient’s vision is profound.”

So how do you know if you have a cataract?

Dr. Siegel explains: “Some people notice a gradual painless blurring of vision, double vision in one eye or fading or yellowing of colors. When older patients mention sensitivity to glare and/or bright light or trouble driving at night, this may be caused by cataracts. Or, if a patient needs frequent changes to his or her glasses or contact lens prescriptions, I’ll evaluate him or her for a cataract.”

Dr. Siegel wants to dispel the notion that a cataract has to be “ripe” before it’s removed.

“That’s just not true. The best time to have a cataract removed is when it starts to interfere with the things you like to do.”

“Cataract surgery, although quite safe, is still surgery. If cataracts don’t affect your quality of life, you may feel that surgery is not needed. The only person who can really decide when it’s time to have them removed is you, under the care of your doctor.”

A Q&A with Dr. Stephen Durham Question:I saw an amazing whitening system on the reality show Extreme Makeover. Is that available at Durham Dental?

Answer: Yes, there are many options out there now for whitening your teeth. Dr. Stephen Durham offers ZOOM!™ and ZOOM! Advanced Power™, the techniques and products featured on Extreme Makeover.

Question: How long does the procedure last?

Answer: This process takes about an hour, and you’ll leave the office with that beaming white smile you’ve always wanted!

Question: I’ve had Bell Palsey and TMJ. I am worried about trying to keep my mouth open for an hour.

Answer: Actually, the procedure is simple. You’ll begin with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, only exposing your teeth. A small set of retractors are used to hold your mouth open comfortably, and you can relax, watch TV or listen to music through the entire procedure.

Question: My teeth are very sensitive, especially from the off-the-supermarketshelf home whitening procedures I’ve done in the past. I’m worried about doing so much in such a short amount of time.

Answer: Teeth sensitivity during your treatment may occur with some patients.

The Zoom!™ light generates minimal heat, which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate.

Question: How long will the whitening last?

Answer: If you follow some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before.

To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily, and occasional touch-ups with Zoom!™ Weekender or Nite White gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest.

Question 6: I’m worried it will make my teeth more porous and faster to stain back up. Can that happen?

Answer: Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom!™ is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

Friends Don’t Let Friends Have Litters

By Tracie Korol

The tagline for my all-things-dog consultancy, wholeDog, is “behavior. health. common sense.” With those three concepts in play, I believe it is impossible to have a bad dog, a sick dog or a dog that creates problems for his community.

This three-part series will tackle the topic of neutering your pet from these categories.

Behavior. A male dog that remains intact experiences a huge increase in testosterone in adolescence. At several months of age, the male’s testosterone level can be several times that of an adult male! This gives a real jump-start to hormone-related behaviors, including urine marking, aggression toward other male dogs, territorial aggression, and escape-oriented behavior in order to roam.

How many of us have been at a party when the conversation amongst the male guests leans toward who has the biggest boat, the biggest engine in his truck, or who (and this is from my Vermont years) has a portable saw mill. This is the human male equivalent of male dog marking, or as I like to call it, though I don’t always phrase it so politely, “whizzing on table legs”. It’s undesirable in your dog and tedious at a dinner party.

I will not accept an intact male as a home boarding guest as he will, guaranteed, pee on the corner of my couch. While I can make light of the “Elvis is in the building” concept, it’s icky.

Intact male dogs tend to have more difficulty concentrating on tasks and show erratic behavior in the vicinity of a female dog in heat. Intact males may not be able to eat or sleep when a female dog in heat is in the same neighborhood. Jumping fences to go after the girl down the street is common, even in dogs that have never roamed before.

Your 1 or 2-year-old intact male dog may be acting like a neutered male in terms of being easy to live with, but chances are that if you leave even an easy-going fellow intact to the age of 3 years, you’ll see undesirable behaviors. The age of 3 is prime time for an intact male dog to be involved with a terrible tragedy, such as those dogs that have killed children. Obviously, not all intact male dogs are aggressive child-killers. But the risk is increased, and parents need to know this, as does everyone who has a large-breed male dog. If you don’t have an important reason for breeding the dog, and the right facilities to keep the dog from harming anyone, why live with this increased risk?

The Island News

If you want to take your dog out and about, whether for family outings, runs at the beach, or pursuit of dog sports such as agility, the dog will function better if neutered. Dogs are much more the victims of their own instincts than humans, less able to override impulses.

Female dogs, like males, have an increased risk of aggression if left intact. Estrus can cause moodiness, and hormone changes in pregnancy can make some females downright aggressive. Her attitude can change overnight. That’s why there is an entire human industry based on PMS. With estrus, intact female dogs may show erratic behavior, signs of pain that may be similar to cramping in humans, and a greatly increased propensity to get out of the house or fenced yard. Some dogs stay clean, while others may leave stains around the house. (Again, icky.) You won’t be able to leave her outdoors unsupervised for even a second because the scent of her urine and she will urinate quite frequently, attracts males from a mile or so away. That’s when skanky unknown male dogs begin to lounge around in your driveway.

Spaying the dog prior to ever getting pregnant can spare her temperament from sometimes-dramatic deterioration. Two or more female dogs in the same home will in many cases not be able to get along, especially if one or more of them are intact.

If you wait until the fighting has already begun, fighting may become a habit that will not be changed with the relief of the hormone pressures when you spay. Spaying dogs before they are fully mature increases the chance of them living together in peace.

Most dogs have careers as companions to humans. Through this labor of love, they enrich and even extend our lives. Spay/ neuter makes it easier for us to responsibly care for dogs, and increases the enjoyable activities our dogs and we can do together.

Next week: health benefits of spay/neuter.
