Beaufort SC Moves Into First New City Hall in 150 years It’s a heckuva birthday present to the people: As Beaufort, South Carolina, prepares to celebrate its Tricentennial in 2011, City officials began moving last week into their first new City Hall since before the Civil War. “It’s the first City Hall we’ve built in Beaufort in 150 years, and it’s built to last 100 years. That’s a nice way to celebrate our fourth century, and this is also the first piece of civic infrastructure in our Boundary Street renovation plan,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said. The 33,000 square foot City Hall complex sits at the northern tip of Ribaut Road, across

from the Beaufort County Government Center and adjacent the City’s one-year-old police and municipal court complex. The City Hall and police/court project, approved by voters in October 2007, is opening four months late but within budget, Dadson said. The $20.6 million cost includes land, the City Hall and police/courts structures, roadway improvements, technology and all furnishings and equipment. The delay resulted when the glass storefront systems’ manufacturer wasn’t able to coordinate the intricate hardware necessary to complete the exterior glass storefront entrances in a timely continued on page 4

Last year the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Department provided a statistical look at the number and type of incidents reported as occurring on Lady’s Island for the period May 1, 2007 to April 30, 2009 and compared them to similar types of incidents occurring in northern Beaufort County. This 2 year review can be found in the July 2009 issue of the LIBPA newsletter. The review indicated that with approximately 20% of the population of northern Beaufort County Lady’s Island was the location of only 16% of the incidents. Following is a similar report for incidents occurring during the period May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010.

Editor’s Note. A special thank you is extended to Lt. Jimmy Walton who compiles the statistics which are used in this article. Lt. Walton has graciously supported the efforts of LIBPA to ensure the community is aware of number and type of incidents which occur on Lady’s Island.

As can be seen from the chart there has been a slight increase (+ 2%) in the total number of incidents on Lady’s Island but not in the areas of serious crimes. The statistics tell us that we, who live on Lady’s Island, should drive defensively and remember to lock our vehicles. Thanks to the Sheriff Tanner and all of his Deputies who perform their duties with such dedication and professionalism, Lady’s Island remains a very safe community.

A comparison with the 2007-9 report shows that in the last 12 months the total number of incidents occurring on Lady’s Island has increased by 2.8%. Breaking and entering into vehicles continues to be a problem with an increase in frequency of 11% from the previous period. The number of vehicle accidents saw a slight increase as did the number of individuals apprehended while driving under the influence. The number

For the eighth year in a row, Beaufort Memorial Hospital has been recognized as one of the nation’s MOST WIRED— SMALL AND RURAL Hospitals, according to the results of the 2010 Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. It is one of five hospitals in the state of South Carolina to achieve this distinction. Hospitals understand the importance of health information technology (IT) and the benefits of its widespread adoption, yet as a field still face significant barriers to implementation according to a newly released survey of America’s Most Wired hospitals and health systems. “Although operating margins continue to decrease, our Board and leadership are committed to making a significant investment in our Information Technology,” says BMH President & CEO Rick Toomey. “Our ultimate goal is taking care of our patients in the best way possible. The benefits improved technology can bring to patient safety are clear.” This year’s survey reveals continued progress for hospitals in patient safety initiatives:

City staffers have been packing up their items at the former City Hall location at Carteret and Port Republic streets, with movers on Thursday and Friday toting the materials to the new site about a mile away. The Carteret Street City Hall formerly served as the city’s post office. Previously, Beaufort’s City Hall had been located in the Carnegie building, in what is now Mike Rainey’s Antiques store, and in a structure at Carteret and Craven that burned in the

big city fire of 1907. Beaufort was founded in 1711 by the English, although its beginnings date back to Spanish explorers in 1514. Beaufort was named for Englishman Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort (1684-1714), one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina. Beaufort City Council met for the first time in the new facility Tuesday, Aug. 17. Highlights of the new City Hall include: •Improved efficiencies with City staff working together under one roof, rather than in multiple locations due to the size limitations of the previous administration building; the City at one point was paying more than $100,000 annually in leases to house its police and other departments •Better public access with a parking lot and on-street parking, as well as improved public visibility at the major intersection of Ribaut and Boundary

•Both City Hall and the police/municipal structure are built to withstand hurricane winds, and back-up generators allow the facility to serve as an emergency command center •City Hall features 6,100 square feet of space for future use or for lease by government-oriented tenants •Multiple conference rooms to enable various staff, department and committee meetings to be held on site •Consolidating key staff under one roof; previously, the planning and codes enforcement operated out of the Carnegie building on Carteret beside the historic Arsenal •Locating frequently-used public services near the front door for convenience, including business licenses, permitting, planning and codes enforcement.

News A Pain in the Butt: Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome By Megan Feight

Do you ever experience sharp, radiating pain that originates Megan Feight from the low back or Gluteal area, stemming down into the back of your leg? Sciatica-like pain, also known as Piriformis Syndrome, can cause sharp pain, tingling, and numbness in the hip and Gluteal areas and down into the leg, traveling the path of the sciatic nerve. Often, the pain is only felt on one side of the body. The Piriformis muscle runs horizontally from the tailbone to the hipbone, while the sciatic nerve runs vertically from the low back down into the leg. If the Piriformis becomes contracted or agitated from overuse or injury, it can strangle the sciatic nerve beneath the muscle. Studies have recently found that in 15-30% of the population, the sciatic nerve actually runs through the Piriformis, like a Piriformis and sciatic nerve sandwich. This certain group of people may be more likely to suffer from Piriformis Syndrome. People who sit for long periods of time and runners, rowers, and cyclists can have inactive Gluteal muscles paired with contracted hip flexors (think the groin region) that facilitate development of Piriformis Syndrome. Other people who suffer from Piriformis Syndrome include:

People who stand for lengthy amounts of time Pregnant women People who sit lop-sided with their wallet in their pocket While there are many treatment options for Piriformis Syndrome and sciatica-like pain, the more conservative approaches include physical therapy, neuromuscular massage therapy, and stretching the Piriformis and Gluteal muscles along with the hamstrings in order to reduce pain and really open up the hip area and increase range of motion. During the neuromuscular therapy session, the therapist will evaluate the posture of the client, noting any abnormal inward or outward rotation of the feet and checking for leg length discrepancies; this can facilitate improper movement inside the hip joint. This will also give clues as to what other muscles are contracting and contributing to Piriformis Syndrome. Some people who have contracted and shortened low back and buttock muscles experience referral pain that mimics the pain pattern of Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome. This makes it especially important to explore all options. Â Most clients experience some pain relief, if not total, within 1 - 3 sessions. Megan Feight is a licensed massage therapist with Beaufort Massage and Structural Bodywork. She can be contacted at beaufortmassage@hotmail.com or 843-271-3509.

lived. In the second half of the 19th century, when many French producers were hit with phylloxera, British wine merchants were forced to go outside of France to find their wines. Rioja was close enough, being just over the Pyrenees Mountains from France. And, even though these British merchants Even though this is a red, I really do keep in were looking to replace their beloved wines mind that the weather is not overly friendly from Bordeaux, they chose Riojas. This is for heavy red wines. Promise! That being interesting because these Spanish wines are said, you can be sure this is not a heavy really more like Italy’s Chiantis than wines duty, winter style wine. And we have talked from Bordeaux. (Both Riojas and Chiantis about this type of wine before, this is just a are blends, as are most red Bordeaux, but new one in its category and nice and tasty. the Spanish and Italian wines both rely very It is a Spanish Rioja made from mostly heavily on one grape variety, Tempranillo Tempranillo grapes. Ring any bells? Hope for Spain and Sangiovese for Italy. Red Bordeaux, although blends too did not so, but here goes, anyhow. usually have such a high percentage of one variety.) The Rioja region of Spain is centrally located in the northern part of the country. For many many years, these wines were Another thing that makes Riojas more like the best known and most favored of all the Chiantis than the missing Bordeaux wines wines that are made in Spain. This was is the natural acidity of their grape varieties. true because, for centuries, red Riojas were This makes for wines that go with different considered to be among the best wines styles of foods and seasonings. Riojas tend made in the world - rich and full and long- to be medium to medium-full in body, with

their main grape Tempranillo giving them a dusty, leathery overcoat on top of raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors. With the added blended grapes (Graciano, Mazuela and Grancha), Riojas become more layered in their flavors and textures. American oak aging of the wines has become very popular because this wood adds vanilla and coconut notes to the wines as well. Then, unlike the wines of Bordeaux, Riojas can be aged in their producers’ cellars for three years to make the wines “reserva” and for five years to make them “gran reserva.” This week’s wine is Montebuena Rioja, with no special aging. But what a terrific everyday red wine. It is not too heavy, which is the whole point in this weather. It has great balance so that every time its in your mouth you feel how good it is. And, its flavors include lots of red cherry, vanilla, baking spices like cinnamon, close, nutmeg, a hint of the Tempranillo dirt, blueberry, and cola. But where we can all really enjoy this wine more is with the foods we eat when we’re drinking it. And, now comes

the hard part, talking about food without even a hint of any in front of me. Going back to the acidity thing, this wine is spectacular with seafood - grilled, broiled, even some smoked. Think about a paprika rub, green olives and capers in a salsa, saffron flavored rice on the side. And, my favorite is a piece of grilled salmon with fresh rosemary on it. That really brings out the earthiness of the wine for me and I just love it. Besides, seafood, grilled sausages, charred red peppers (in Spain these are pimentos) pork loin and tenderloin, even lean beef. The key to making the wine pair well with your choice is all in the seasonings and sides. Use olive oil, sea salt, a bit of crushed red pepper is OK, and everything I’ve already mentioned. Anyone hungry yet? Good, here’s the plan. You need a bottle for the prep work time and a bottle for the table. Then, you’ll be happy. Or, at least I will be because that’s what I’m off to the kitchen to start for myself. Here’s to summer red wines and all they can be. Enjoy!

Lowcountry Social Diary

Monsoon (Social) Season

By Lanier Laney

Lawdy! All this nonstop rain! My 88-year-old neighbor says she doesn’t remember in her lifetime in Beaufort when it’s rained this Lanier Laney much, and I believe her. Everyone’s been going stir crazy being kept inside due to the rain. Hopefully, this cold front that has caused all this rain is the first wave of cooler fall temperatures (I can hope, can’t I?).

Laura Baker Kudos to local Interior Designer, Laura Baker whose downtown Beaufort cottage remodel is featured in 10(!) full color pages of the new Fall issue of Renovation Style Magazine (available at Lowe’s). I’ve been in her house, and I can tell you it’s a stunner! Laura is one of those designers that ‘get’s everything right.’ The colors, the fabrics, to the serene style--it’s tasteful without being stuffy; and after Laura has lived in and decorated several large Historic Houses in Beaufort (including Dean Hall Plantation), it’s wonderful to see all her signature touches work so well in her new ‘downsized’ one bedroom cottage. (I guarantee you’ll want to move to one after seeing hers!) Laura did the redesign of her cottage all herself, but she and her

partners at M Interiors (843-379-7465), Lisa Mykleby, and Muffin Tullos are known for their very well received commercial work around town like the interior decor of Wren Restaurant and the stunning new Greyhound Flats guest rooms across from Blackstone’s Cafe. They currently are working on houses at Bray’s Island, Spring Island, Old Point and Charleston, but welcome the opportunity for new projects. (Bet your house ends up in a magazine if you use them!)

in just 3.9 seconds! -Which feels like you are in a rocket ship when you are in the thing as it silently accelerates. Dr. Jackson told me “I bought it because I think it’s a neat car with great performance. As the technology used to make it matures, the price will drop, just like computers, and then they can put the technology in more affordable models. Tesla is coming out with a sedan in 2012”. Who knew ‘green technology’ could be so much fun! Thanks for supporting this new clean technology Dr. J!

After several readers asked me to ‘find out who is driving the new yellow Lamborghini convertible around town,’ the owner and his lovely wife happened to show up at a wine tasting at Breakwater where I met them and even got to ride in the car! Turns out it’s not a Lamborghini, but is built on the look-alike frame of a Lotus. It’s a Tesla, a new type of electric vehicle, and there are only two in Beaufort (a yellow one and a blue one). The yellow one is owned by Dr. Andy Jackson of Lady’s Island, and I was amazed at how quiet the ride was. The only thing you hear is a quiet whirring of the wheels. And get this…a full charge of the battery is under $5 and it lasts for a full 220 miles! Due to the stored up ‘torque,’ there is no lag time when you step on ‘the gas’ (I mean ‘the electricity’). It shoots from 0-60

In the pantheon of California ‘Wine Country Royalty,’ Carolyn Wente has to be at least a ‘Grand Duchess’ (if not a Queen). Her family, the Wentes are the oldest wine making family in California (128 years). Their wines have been winning awards worldwide since 1939. They were the first to introduce the term Sauvignon Blanc on a wine label in America, and they still make a great one. Carolyn is the fourth generation to head the company. She and her husband, Buxton (a New Orleans native) have built a house at Bray’s Island and hope to come to the Lowcountry about 4 or 5 times a year. Over 60 people turned out last Friday to warmly welcome Carolyn, her husband and son and appreciate her fine wines.

PATIENT INFORMATION

This product is only available through an eye care physician. DESCRIPTION: A cataract is a condition in which the natural human lens gradually becomes “cloudy.” This results in blurred vision. Intraocular lenses, or IOLs, are designed to replace a cataract and allow clear vision. The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is designed to allow for distance (watching children playing in the backyard), near (reading) and intermediate (computer work) vision and a high chance for freedom from glasses. You will get the full benefit of the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL when it is implanted in both eyes. In fact, a U.S. clinical study showed that nearly 94% of patients that had the AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL implanted in both eyes were so satisfied with their vision they would have the procedure again. Ask your eye care physician to discuss all risks and benefits of cataract surgery and the AcrySof® ReSTOR® lens with you before your surgery.

When I first moved to Beaufort as an intern at Fripp Island 13 years ago, I asked where to get a good sandwich in town. The overwhelming response? Alvin Ord’s!!! “Well, what do I get there,” I asked the locals. “THE SALVATION,” they insisted! Ever since that summer of ‘97, I’ve been going back to the infamous sandwich shop at 1415 Ribaut Road in Port Royal nearly three times per month, ordering the Salvation every time! Now depending on my hunger, I’ll order a small, medium or large. And yes, I have been known to take down an entire large order in one sitting! But, normally, if you order a medium, you’ll be sure to take home half the sandwich to finish at dinner.

Alvin Ord’s is an institution in Beaufort, and hopefully will remain one for years to come. In fact, since I’ve been writing this Lunch Bunch column, many people have approached me and asked why we haven’t gone to Alvin Ord’s yet. The truth is… everyone in the Lunch Bunch eats at Alvin Ord’s so frequently, we’ve been faced with the dilemma from week to week that one of us (or a few of us) had already eaten there. But, we thought it was finally time to write about the beloved eatery, established in 1983.

daughter), Ashten (Christina’s Citadelbound daughter), Cohen and Skylar (Heather’s precious son and daughter) and Perry and Anna Katherine (Kim’s sweet girls). We all devoured our sandwiches. We ordered the Roast Beef and Turkey, the Sliced Turkey, the BLT, the Tuna Salad, the Grilled Cheese, the Meatball and, of course a couple of the Salvation sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are available on Fresh Baked French or Whole Wheat Bread. You may choose ingredients to add or delete from the made-to-order sandwiches. Additionally, if you’re a Sweet Tea fan, Alvin Ord’s has some of the best Sweet Tea south of the Mason Dixon Line. I usually refrain from ordering the syrupy beverage, but I just can’t help myself at Alvin Ord’s. So, just in case you forgot about Alvin Ord’s (but I don’t think you have), the Lunch bunch recommends another visit. Remember to call ahead if you’re in a hurry. The number is 524-8222. Program it in your phone. Call-ins get first priority. Alvin Ord’s is always packed at lunch, because it’s just so darned good! Thanks Alvin Ord’s for a delicious and memorable Back-to-School meal. The kiddos and the mamas loved it!

We know you’ve all been there. And if you haven’t, drop your plans for lunch today and head to Port Royal. Like I said, it’s an institution in Beaufort. My Charleston buddies liken Alvin Ord’s to Schlotzky’s Deli. But, in my opinion, it doesn’t even compare. Alvin Ord’s sandwiches are so much fresher. And the experience is way more enjoyable. Everyone, sans me (frown face as I write this) had their kids with them at Lunch Bunch this week. Granny had mine, because I was getting ready for my brother’s wedding in Charleston. On the eve week of Back-to-School, it was especially nice to have all the kids with us. Where, oh where did this summer go? We were accompanied by Hanna (April’s precious The Island News

Profile Beaufort Dixie Junior Boy All-Stars a Team of Destiny By Manager Jim Pike

Beaufort Dixie Junior Boys 13-year-old All-Stars won the district tournament in Beaufort, beating Hilton Head twice and Mount Pleasant once. This gave them the opportunity to play in the state tournament in Sumter, SC.

This was truly a team of destiny. The players showed great heart and determination. The biggest compliment we got was when the Surfside parents were heard saying, “Beaufort really thinks they can beat us.” It should be noted that per the luck of the draw, Surfside had a bye in the tournament giving them much more pitching depth than what they would have had without the bye.

They won their first 3 games beating Harleyville, North Augusta and Dentsville. They then lost to Surfside and came back strong to beat the host team, Sumter in the semi-final game. Beaufort then had to beat Surfside twice in the finals to be able to advance to the World Series. The team had a shaky start in the field allowing 3 unearned runs in the first inning. That is all the previous World Series winners needed, as Surfside continued to pitch well and play stellar defense, only allowing Beaufort one run in the contest. The final score was 6-1. There were several notable standouts for Beaufort, which included Carson Gregory hitting 7 triples with a 0.612 batting average and scoring 19 runs. Mattison Pike batted 0.571 with 16 RBI’s. Louis Brown batted 0.500. Keaton Butler scored 13 runs. Bradley and Louis Brown both did tremendous jobs on the mound and behind the plate. Bradley Brown did the lion’s share of the pitching, along with Mattison Pike and Louis Brown. Keaton Butler played a tremendous shortstop, and also was the winning pitcher against Dentsville. Joe Johnson held down the first base spot with steady defense throughout the tournament. Alex Tokar held down the hot corner with a sure glove and arm. Carson Gregory, who made several running catches, handled center field. Shuler Black and Andrew Jezewski played the corner outfield spots with great hustle and solid defensive performances. Connor Lundgaard was the DH and had many big hits for the team. Coming off the bench for base running and playing several different positions was John Heys. A utility player such as John is very important to the teams’ success. Jordan Bates came off the bench playing in the outfield and also doing some relief pitching. He had a huge hit against Hilton Head in the district tournament to allow the team to advance to state. Grady Colburn also came off the bench, able to play any position on the field and play it well. It should be noted that Surfside has gone on and did win the World Series again. So the only team that Beaufort lost to was the eventual World Series winners. The Team had to overcome a lot. It was the first time a lot of the boys had played together; half of them were from the BeaufortBurton District, and the other half were from the Lady’s Island-St. Helena District. They came together quickly and became fast and close friends after playing against each

Carson Gregory couldn’t even throw, and Josh Fickes did not play on the team due to shoulder problems. We hope to have these arms back for the World Series next year, which will be at Burton Wells. We hope Surfside can win State, as we would love to meet them again in the World Series. Because, yes, we do think we can beat them.

other for the past 4 years.

Our practices were extremely hot, if not pouring with rain. The boys never waivered from their objective, which was to win state. Another thing the team had to overcome was finding a place to stay. They had to stay in Columbia, since there was also a tennis tournament going on in Sumer; so, there were no motel rooms available close by. Unfortunately while in Columbia, one of the team parent’s car was stolen, and one of the coach’s car was broken into. The thief stole money, credit cards and the team medical bag that had $300 worth of medical supplies in it. Also, during the first game of the tournament, I moved to get away from a foul ball and fell from the top step of the dugout to the bottom, severely spraining his left wrist and ankle. But, like I tells my players, “tape it up and go on!” So that is what I did. I wasn’t able to throw batting practice and hit infield practice anymore; so, I gave permission for my son, Weber to take over those duties.

WE BUY GOLD!

Coaches Gregory and Tokar took on added pressures by running the daily practices to get the boys ready to play. We also played around some injuries, as Carson Gregory could not throw per doctor’s orders. Therefore, the corner outfielders would sprint towards him if he were making a play on the ball in order to throw it in for him. This worked better than expected, as both Andrew and Shuler made sure they were there to help their teammate out.

Diet Soda, Regular Soda and Energy Power Drinkers Beware! By Dr. Jennifer Wallace

The average American today drinks over 600 servings of soft drinks a year. Soft drink or Sodas are a sweetened, acidic, often caffeinated and carbonated drink. Diet sodas actually have more acid in them than regular soda, which leads to enamel erosion. “Sports drinks” are no safer when it comes to tooth erosion. It’s not just the sugar that’s bad for teeth, the acids included in many popular drinks are said to “eat” away enamel and make teeth more prone to decay. The pH of regular and diet sodas range from 2.47-3.35. The PH in our mouth is normally about 6.2 to 7.0 slightly more acidic than water. At a PH of 5.2 to 5.5 or below the acid begins to dissolve the hard enamel of our teeth. Phosphoric and citric acids contribute to the acidity of soda. Below is a look at how some drinks compare to water as well as to battery acid. Acid Sugar Product Low=BAD per 12 oz Pure Water 7.00 (neutral) 0.0 Barq’s 4.61 10.7 tsp. Diet Coke 3.39 0.0 Mountain Dew 3.22 11.0 tsp. Gatorade 2.95 3.3 tsp Coke Classic 2.63 9.3 tsp. Pepsi 2.49 9.8 tsp.

Drinking carbonated diet soft drinks regularly allows acids to cause damage to the teeth. These acids can soften the tooth and promote formation of plaque, which erodes the enamel. Enamel breakdown leads to cavities. If erosion spreads beneath the enamel into the dentin, pain and sensitivity may result which may lead in needing a root canal. The Academy of General Dentistry states “Diet sodas are part of the problem”. Women especially like to drink them throughout the day and between meals because they have no calories, yet the higher frequency and volume is putting their teeth at risk.” Because saliva helps neutralize acids and wash your teeth clean, the worst time to drink soda pop, ironically, is when you are very thirsty or dehydrated due to low levels of saliva. The larger the volume of intake the more impact sodas have on your teeth. If you are going to drink soda alone or between meals, chew sugarless gum afterward to increase your saliva flow. But better yet, quench your thirst with water. New Study Indicates That Popular Sports Beverages Cause More Irreversible Damage to Teeth Than Soda. While sports and energy drinks help athletes re-hydrate after a long workout, if consumed on a regular basis they can damage teeth, potentially resulting in severe tooth decay according to a study reported in the January/February issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry. The non-cola and sports beverages damage was three to 11 times greater than cola-based drinks, with

energy drinks and bottled lemonades causing the most harm to dental enamel. Have you heard of the Soft Drink and Cancer Link? The consumption of fizzy drinks isn’t just bad for your teeth; research suggests a link between the rise in the consumption of carbonated drinks and the rise in esophageal cancer. People who are obese are more prone to this reflux and they have an increased risk of cancer. Carbonated drinks cause burping and some reflux. These drinks are also acidic and will bathe the lining of the esophagus as they are swallowed. We have a few recommendations to reduce the affects of sugar and acid on your teeth. Soda should be consumed at meals to limit your teeth’s exposure to sugar and acid. Limit regular soda to 1 can per day. Neither regular nor diet soda should replace nutrient dense foods or beverages. Drink soda through straws to reduce the direct contact to the teeth. Select soda cans over re-sealable bottles. This limits the consumption of the beverage to one sitting rather than sipping bottles and re-sealing them over a longer period of time. Rinsing first will help to neutralize the acids. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming soda. Brushing in a high acid environment will erode tooth enamel. Jennifer Wallace, DMD practices on Lady’s Island at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort.

Grief as a Child By Janie Lackman

When I was eleven years old, my Great Grandma Jannie died, and I was devastated. We lived in the Northeast, and she was in the Deep South; so, we didn’t spend that much time together, but she made an imprint on my heart nonetheless. Thinking back on her now, I really only have a handful of memories – the smell of her perfume, the taste of her biscuits, the smile that lit up the room and the overwhelming joy the radiated from her. I was her namesake and her death left a distinct mark on me. Janie Lackman

I imagine that everyone remembers their first experience with death, be it a family member or a beloved pet. This first experience hopefully helps us to understand and develop coping strategies for other losses that we will face throughout our lives. In a way, it molds our ideas about death and dying and lays a foundation for later experiences. When I lost my Grandma Jannie, I was surrounded by family and friends that tried to help me deal with the loss. I was even seen by the school guidance counselor and shown videos to help me understand the process and make sense out of the new feelings I was experiencing. Even with all this help, I was still lost after Grandma Jannie died. It was a difficult time in my childhood. Not all children are as lucky as I was when they experience their first loss. Often times, the family is so overwhelmed by the loss themselves that the grief of the child is not properly addressed. The family may be consumed by the difficulties, or the child may not want to upset the parent by talking about the feelings they are experiencing. Either

way, it makes the grief process of the child more difficult to handle. Children need as much support as adults in the grieving process. However, all too often, the child is left to deal with these new confusing emotions on their own without any idea of how to express them.

As with all of FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice’s programs, there is NO FEE to participate in the Grief Journey for Kids Program, and it is available to anyone in the community in need. If you know of a child in need, please contact the FRIENDS office to see how we can help at 843-525-6257.

Seven years ago, FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice decided to address this lost area of grief in our community by developing The FRIENDS of Caroline HOSPICE Child Bereavement Team and the Grief Journey for Kids Program. The specially trained volunteers on this team assist children in acknowledging their grief, expressing their feeling and developing coping strategies. The program encourages and facilitates interaction and expression through art, music, journaling and sharing with peers in the group. Today FRIENDS’ Child Bereavement Team serves every school in Northern Beaufort County. In the 2009/2010 school year, over one hundred and sixty children participated in the program. Student evaluations of the program reported that 98% would recommend it to peers and were able to deal with grief in a more positive way, felt less anger and felt more desire to talk after having been through the program. Student comments included: “It’s easier to get stuff out.” “Now I am able to go up and give my mom a big hug when she cries.” “I’ve begun to accept my feelings.” “Talking helps.”

Little bits of… Royal Chatter by Peggy Chandler

The Royal Pines Garden Club is on vacation for the summer months, but there are certainly other social groups and clubs who continue to meet. The Royal Readers met last week to discuss “Disgrace” by J.M. Coetzee. The hostess last month was Maura Baglione, who was wellprepared with an enjoyable lunch for the members; questions were printed and she was ready to conduct the meeting. Nine members of the book club were present for the discussion. The story begins in Cape Town, South Africa with the firing of a literature professor for sexual misconduct with a student. The professor moves to rural South Africa to live with his daughter in post apartheid time period. There, he finds his daughter living amongst poverty, crime, and violence. After he and his daughter are victims of a violent attack, Professor Lurie must re-think his life plan going forward. Opinions amongst the members were varied, some would not recommend the book and others thought it was breathtaking. If nothing else, it was a spirited discussion. The selection for August is “Half Broke Horses “by Jeanette Walls.

The Lands End Woodland, Inc. of St. Helena Island, SC will celebrate the 6th Annual Lands End Woodland River Festival on Labor Day weekend, September 3-4, 2010. The festival is a community celebration of the Gullah ancestry and traditions of the people of St. Helena Island through music, storytelling, performances, crafts, and food. The Lands End Woodland today represents one of the best examples of land conservation by a group of African American families in the South. The River Festival has become a multicultural celebration and a favorite event for families and visitors from surrounding communities looking to enjoy cultural festivities over the long holiday weekend. On Friday, September 3rd, beginning at 5:00 p.m., a good ole’ fashion fish fry will include music on the riverbanks. On Saturday, September 4th, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., visitors will be entertained by gospel choirs, dancers, musicians, and storytellers. There will also be health and safety exhibits, crafts, and food vendors selling a variety of hand-made goods and serving a “taste of Gullah.” In 1920, founders of the organization, forty-seven descendants of African slaves purchased 328 acres of the former Baker Plantation on St. Helena Island to preserve it for the recreational enjoyment of the community. Today, the Lands

End Woodland, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization maintained by a small band of descendants or heirs of the original land owners. It is the oldest registered landowners association owned by African Americans in South Carolina. In 2002 in the Capitol Column, Congressman James Clyburn said, “I applaud the efforts of the Lands End Woodland Club, who knew the dangers of partitioning and took the necessary action to insure the deed was clear. They went to great lengths to protect their 328 acres. This is happening to slave descendants throughout the South. As the land is lost, so too is the Gullah culture that once dominated these islands.” The Lands End Woodland, Inc. has been good stewards of land conservation for 90 years, a remarkable achievement. The Woodland is working on becoming a tourism destination for visitors to enjoy hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, scouting, and private beach parties. THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Parking will be available for cars ($3), vans ($10) and buses ($15) on the grounds. The Woodland beachfront property is located on Lands End Road, six miles south of Penn Center on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive on St. Helena Island.

Team Beaufort Boasts Three National Titles 2010 has been a busy and fantastic year for Beaufort’s weight lifting team, Team Beaufort, who’ve won three national titles. In March, Team Beaufort, comprised of high school students from Beaufort High School, lifted in the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. The team finished as runners-up in the Werksan High School Challenge. Lifting in this event were Seth Andrews, D e l v i n Broussard, Jonaithan Morgan, Cody Martinez, Lee Carey, Michael Mattis, James Washington, Stefan Moser and Alex Silon. In June, Team Beaufort was on the road (or air) again and competed in the School Age Nationals. This event was held in San Francisco, California. Team Beaufort won the overall National Championship. Lifters had to meet a national total in the combination of two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk. Both lifts are Olympic-style lifts. The School Age meet hosts the best athletes in the country. Male and female lifters from all across the country made their way to San Francisco, California. Athletes that competed were Abby Silon, Tucker Deloach, Dylan Williams, Malcolm Simmons, Andrew Jezewski, Jesse Sanborn, Lee Carey, Howard Graham, Alex Silon and Stefan Moser. These athletes, who range from 9 to 17 years of age, won this National Championship. Just recently in July, Team Beaufort hit the road again and lifted in the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Junior Olympics in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The 11 and under boys won the National Championship in their age bracket. They were Casey Simmons, CJ Cummins, Omar Cummins, Joe Fosnight,

Tucker Deloach, and Dylan Williams. The 18 and 19 year old boys also won the National Championship in their respective age bracket. They were Michael Mattis, Alex Silon, Stefan Moser and James Washington. James Washington was also named the best lifter of the AAU. Other lifters that won in their age and weight bracket were Abby Silon, Lee Carey, Howard Graham, Jesse Sanborn, Andrew Jezewski and Malcolm Simmons. Highlighting this team in 2010 with individual honors was Alex Silon. He was selected to represent the US at the 17 and under Pan American Games in Chiclayo, Peru. Another lifter, James Washington, was selected as the best high school lifter in the country. Also in 2010, James won the USA Weightlifting Junior World Nationals 20 and under National Championship. He was also a qualifier for the Junior World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. He won the Bronze Medal at the US Weightlifting National Championship open division. Team Beaufort could not have made this fabulous representation without the exceptional dedication from the lifters, parents and the COACH. Coach Ray Jones has taken care of these lifters ranging from age 9 to 18 and coached them in the aspects of lifting with the proper techniques and exceptional sportsmanship. Coach Ray Jones deserves more than just a pat on the back or a hand shake. He’s led these athletes to the national spotlight and made competitors and winners out of these young boys and girl from Beaufort. In October, Team Beaufort will host their 2nd Weight Lifting event. This event hopes to draw some of the best athletes on the east coast for competition. If you have any questions or would like to support Team Beaufort please feel free to contact Ray Jones at 843-812-6671.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

Friends Don’t Let Friends Have Litters: Part Two By Tracie Korol

Health. According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), 6 to 8 million dogs (and cats) enter shelters each year, and at least half of them are euthanized. The HSUS calculates that a fertile dog can produce two litters of 6-10 pups in a year. If you are up to the math, that means that the female and her offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 unwanted dogs over a span of six years. If you take a casual drive around Beaufort County, you might assume that most of them live here. While I would like to see every pet neutered or spayed and would like to create a case that it is THE only right thing to do, I would be remiss if I did not share the entire picture of spay/neuter effects on a dog’s health. It is a controversial topic with veterinarians and dog professionals. On the Let’s Get Neutered! front, any ailment associated with an active reproductive tract will be eliminated. That means that pyometra (infection of the uterus) and testicular cancer does not occur, as the parts affected are just not there. Protastatic cancer is greatly reduced, as is mammary cancer. In fact, intact female dogs have seven times the risk of developing mammary tumors than do females spayed early in life. However, on the other side, in both males and females, early spay/neuter procedures may increase the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer). This is a cancer found in medium/large and large breeds. A 2002 study at the University of Purdue of 683 Rottweilers-a breed known to be at high risk for osteosarcoma-concluded that the risk for bone cancer was significantly influenced by the dogs’ ages at sterilization. For an atrisk breed, postponing spay/neuter until the second year was suggested. In females there is a 4-20% increase in what is colloquially termed “spay incontinence” or more colloquially, the dog that dribbles. Studies show that this occurs in dogs spayed early, from 6-14 weeks, in what is termed pediatric neutering. Fortunately, this is a condition easily controlled by medication

The Island News

and homeopathy. So, is this an argument NOT to spay or neuter your pet? For those of us who have spent time in animal shelters and who have witnessed the misery of abandoned dogs, let alone the euthanization procedure, there is absolutely no reason not to neuter your pet. However, if you are concerned about the risks of potential medical complications, you may wish to wait until your dog is at least 6 months old or, for females, wait until she has gone through her first estrus, for surgery. As for the surgery itself, the medical benefits of having your dog spayed or neutered far outweigh the slight risk involved with undergoing anesthesia. Modern veterinary procedures employ equipment that monitors heart and respiratory rates during surgery, ensuring the patient is doing just fine. If you are concerned you can always consult your vet, but remember, this is a routine operation. Normally, your vet will tell you to withhold food and water from your dog for 12 hours before the operation. Most dogs go home the same day, but sometimes your vet may prefer to keep a pet in slightly longer if they are still very sleepy. After the operation, dogs should be confined to the house for a few days, kept quiet and prevented from jumping, or biting at their sutures. Your vet will discuss postoperative care, including when the sutures will be removed. Next week: sense
