Welcome Home Marlene and Jamie Harrelson Dukes Barbeque returns to Salem Road Location

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

For many of us in Beaufort, 2009 was a depressing year. Besides the economy being at its most pitiful level, we lost our favorite BBQ joint.

Dukes Barbeque was the biggest deal in town.

It was the place where stay-at-home moms caught up on the week with their hungry toddlers and girlfriends and businessmen shook hands over verbal contracts. It was the favorite

lunch and dinner spot among locals, where you could fit all you could eat into your belly and still go back for more, simply because it was THAT good. And then, sadly, it was gone, after 23 years in Beaufort.

Well, get your appetites back into ‘piggin’ out’ shape, Beaufort. Dukes Barbeque is back, and thankfully not bigger or better than before. It’s BARBECUE continued on page 5

news briefS Sheriff ’s Office Investigating Armed Robbery

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating Saturday night’s armed robbery outside a St. Helena retail store.

Deputies responded to Family Dollar (791 Sea Island Pkwy) just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday night in reference to a report of an armed robbery that occurred moments earlier. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with two store employees who advised that they had just been robbed at gunpoint by an unknown black male.

The employees were exiting the store upon closing for the night when they were suddenly approached by a suspect with a black stocking mask concealing part of his face. The suspect demanded the female victim hand over her bag, put a gun to her head and ordered her to the ground. The suspect then turned to the male victim, put the gun in his face and demanded his belongings as well.

Both victims were then ordered to walk into the nearby woods and lie down while the suspect fled the scene.

Neither victim sustained any injury during the incident. Once certain the suspect was gone, the victims contacted 911 to report the robbery.

The Sheriff ’s Office asks that anyone with information contact either Cpl. L. Resto at 843-255-3510 or Crimestoppers.

New York Life Agent Receives Recognition New York Life agent Ellier Gervero from the Savannah General Office was recently named a Lives Protected Champion.

This recognition is attained by agents who in the 4th quarter of 2012 assisted the most families in their communities with life insurance protection. Nearly four hundred agents out of more than 12,250 licensed New York Life agents across the country were recognized for assisting the greatest number of policyholders with exceptional life insurance coverage.

“We applaud Ellier for this achievement and dedication to helping families protect their financial futures,” said Wayne Morrison managing partner of New York Life’s Savannah General Office.

“Life insurance provides beneficiaries the chance to move forward with a degree of financial security otherwise impossible — and that’s making a real difference in communities across the country.

Last year, New York Life paid billions to beneficiaries and Ellier was part of that effort, which helped families maintain their lifestyle and keep their future plans on track.”

Ellier Gervero has been a New York Life agent since 2007 and he is associated with New York Life’s Savannah General Office in Savannah,

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

Nonprofit fights ‘different faces of abuse’

By Carson Moore This past year, South Carolina was ranked #2 in the nation in the number of homicides related to domestic violence. Catherine Stewart and the rest of the Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) board have something to say about that.

Stewart moved to Beaufort in July 2011, and discovered the CODA board through the Parrish Church of St. Helena. “A lot of the people that join the board have had a personal experience with domestic violence,” she said, “I haven’t, myself, but I saw that this was a good organization, and an excellent cause.”

The current CODA board consists of a varied group of people that includes a former school librarian, a gynecologist, an active-duty Marine, and Stewart herself, a marketing and advertising agent.

As the current Vice President of CODA’s board, Stewart works tirelessly to spread awareness among the people of Beaufort County—not only of the fact that domestic violence is incredibly frequent, but that help is readily available as well.

“Domestic abuse is our nation’s dirty little secret,” said Stewart, “People generally think it’s an icky topic, and try to keep discussions away from it. “ For instance, The Vietnam War began in 1959, and ended in 1975. During that time, there were approximately 58,000 American soldiers that lost

their lives in combat. Over that same time period, approximately 51,000 women lost their lives to domestic abuse at the hands of their partners, yet there are still tens thousands of instances of domestic abuse in the United States every year.

CODA’s Beaufort chapter services four counties in South Carolina: Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper. In 2012, each of South Carolina’s 46 counties was ranked in domestic violence victimization rates per capita. The study named Colleton County as 6th in the state, Jasper County 13th, Beaufort County 21st and Hampton 43rd.

In 2009, Beaufort County alone had nearly 2,000 victims report incidents.

“We’re best known in our own county,” said Stewart, “Because the shelter is located here, and many of our fundraisers occur here. However, we are trying very hard to expand our reach to really incorporate those counties that don’t feel the CODA presence as strongly.”

Traditional physical abuse is not the only problem that CODA aims to tackle in South Carolina, however.

“There are many different faces of abuse,” Stewart explained, “It’s not just a black eye, and it’s not just a broken bone.” Abusers often use isolation, financial control, and verbal abuse to manipulate the victim, and the dangers of abuse can affect outsiders

as well. For example, Stewart recalled an incident that occurred 11 years ago in which two Beaufort police officers lost their lives when a woman called in a report of domestic violence. By the time the officers arrived on the scene, the abuser had armed himself with a firearm, and both police officers were killed. “It’s important to understand that domestic violence doesn’t only affect the people in the relationship,” Stewart explained, “Police officers and counselors—oftentimes there are, in fact, more people at risk.”

Beaufort’s branch of CODA covers an area of approximately 2,500 square miles, and has staff members manning the hotline 24 hours a day.

In the past year alone, they have answered 4,050 calls on the hotline, and provided 168 survivors and their children with shelter, for 4,833 total nights. CODA’s shelter is a spacious, six-bedroom house that can hold up to 24 residents at a time. It features six bedrooms, a children’s playroom, and an overwhelming sense of safety and security for survivors.

“Clients are at the greatest risk when they leave. When they finally make that hard decision to pack up the kids and flee, that’s when the abuser is most likely to come after them. So we try to give the survivors the greatest sense of safety that we can, and encourage building positive attitudes again.”

CODA also offers what they call

returning to town just like it was… just the way we all liked it. Same décor, same food, even most of the same staff.

Beginning Thursday, August 1st, owners Marlene and Jamie Harrelson will be welcoming diners every Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. with their coveted buffet, serving authentic, pit-cooked BBQ, fresh vegetables and homemade desserts, all prepared on site at their familiar Salem Road location across from Regions Bank off Robert Smalls Parkway. After four years in Blackville to run another Dukes

‘outpatient services’. “These are the services we offer outside the shelter,” explained Stewart, “They are free of charge, and possibly the most important part of our organization.”

These services include lawyers and counselors that work with the staff to assist survivors with court appointments.

CODA’s counselors teach women to learn the early signs of abusive behavior, and encourage them to develop healthy mentalities in regards to their situation.

Currently, CODA is trying to attract more local interest for board membership. “We really would like to get more men interested in board positions,” said Stewart, “We’re always making a pitch for interested community members to reach out to us and get involved.” The board holds ten monthly meetings throughout the year, as well as a meeting in January that is open to the public. These meetings typically feature one of CODA’s clients, stepping up to speak about her personal experiences with the group.“It’s definitely an experience that most people don’t forget,” said Stewart, “It helps people really see the different faces of abuse.”

To contact CODA, please visit their website: http://www.codalowcountry. org or call their 24-hour hotline at 843-770-1070 or 800-868-CODA. The email is coda@islc.net.

establishment, Marlene and Jamie Harrelson heard the request from many Beaufortonians to come home; and since they owned the building at 1509 Salem Road, they thought it time to bring their BBQ back across the Whale Branch.

“We missed Beaufort, so we decided to come home,” explained Marlene Harrelson. But this time around, the Harrelson’s are taking Saturdays off.

“We have grandkids now, and we want to enjoy the family,” smiles Marlene.

Fair enough. We’re just glad you’re back in business. Welcome Home Dukes Barbeque from one of your most loyal customers.

sports/school Virtual Reality School Applies for Charter Can you imagine a school where students visit the Sistine Chapel and are back home by the bell? Or a school where students learn to operate lasers on the moon or explore sea life on the bottom of the ocean floor?

Or a school where students travel back in time to meet Beethoven, Davy Crockett or Alexander the Great?

Soon such a school might exist in South Carolina if the proposed NOBLE Virtual School, based upon interactive 3D virtual world technology, is successful with its charter application.

As a charter public school, students in South Carolina would pay no tuition to attend the school and there would be no special requirement for admission. Like other virtual schools, students would study from home on their computer but there the similarity to other online educational programs ends.

Rather than “read the material and take the multiple-choice test,” students at NOBLE Virtual School will spend most of their time interacting with teachers and other students inside an interactive 3D virtual world. Students, as graphical characters called “avatars,” will have the ability to communicate with each other simultaneously and the capacity to build and manipulate 3D models of almost anything they can imagine. The virtual

world platform will provide students the opportunity to work more collaboratively with each other and to learn concepts not easily understood from a textbook or lecture.

“No longer is education bounded by limitations of time, space and resources,” explains Steve Mashburn, the future principal of the school. “If one can think it, one can do it in the NOBLE Virtual World – from reenactments of historical events to simulated science experiments to roleplaying famous novels.”

Mashburn continues, “Instead of just studying math, students become engineers who use math to construct a suspended bridge. Instead of just studying science, they become hydrologists who use science to uncover the source of water pollution in a river. Instead of just studying art, they become graphic designers who use art to create effective advertising on outdoor billboards. Instructionally, the sky is the limit and we are very excited about bringing this type of educational innovation to the children of South Carolina.”

If approved by the South Carolina Public Charter School District in August, the school will open in the fall of 2014.

Interested parents are asked to place their child on a waiting list found on the school’s website at http://noblevirtual.org.

Late Fees Waived for PALS Fall Sports Registration Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services (PALS) is now waiving all late fees for those who still want to sign up for youth fall sports this year. The registration deadline for all fall sports is now Monday August 5, 2013.

“We want to give children every opportunity to participate in youth sports. Our registration numbers for fall sports led us to believe we need to do more to make that happen, so we are extending the registration deadline through August 5th for all sports while

waiving late fees. We will also refund any late fees already paid”, said PALS Director Scott Marshall.

The sports being offered this fall are: flag football ages 4-7, tackle football ages 7-14, cheerleading ages 6-14, and soccer ages 4-17. Registration will be accepted at Buckwalter Recreation Center, 905 Buckwalter Parkway, Bluffton, SC 29910, at the Burton Wells Recreation Center, 1 Middleton Recreation Drive, Beaufort, SC 29906 or online at www.bcgov.net/PALS.

When Great Trees Fall

A tribute in memory of Charles Desaussure at Red Piano Too Gallery A great tree recently fell in the world of Lowcountry art. Artist, Charles Desaussure, died in the Charleston Veterans Hospital on July 16, 2013.

Charles had been an artist at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery for twenty years.

This year the gallery is dedicating the twentieth annual August Summer Show on August 3, 2013 to the memory of Charles Desaussure.

Charles attended every year. He always took up residence on the front porch of the gallery setting up his paints, easels, and supplies. Charles loved people, especially young people, he encouraged them to paint as they gathered around to watch him work. He often supplied them materials so they could draw too.

He encouraged them by saying, ”Go where the spirit leads you.”

Becky Kiester, gallery staff, recalls how Charles loved Charmaine Inabinett’s Pistachio Cake, which she sells on the porch during shows. It is a gallery memory that Charmaine had to make Charles his own cake. That

way he could have some whenever he wanted and didn’t have to constantly send a child to get him another piece of cake. While reflecting on Charles and his life we remembered his vintage navy blue Mercedes. He loved that car! As he would chill at the gallery he would often take time to give the car a wipe so it looked just as good going to Charleston as it did coming to St. Helena.

Charles, an Air Force veteran, had an easy and open manner. People immediately liked him and wanted to get to know him better. He enjoyed “just chillin’ and meetin’ the folk” as he relaxed on the swing at the gallery.

Born in Yemassee, South Carolina, his family moved to President Street in Charleston, where he grew up. Early on Charles was interested in art, the world around him was rich in Gullah culture. The urban influence was emerging in his work with paintings of Juke Joints, musicians, street vendors, sweetgrass gathering, and sweetgrass

basket sewers chatting happily in the Charleston market.

Almost every painting Charles created in the beginning had the old Cooper River Bridge in the background.

Once he told us that he played under the bridge as a boy, marbles, basketball, bike riding, skateboarding, and chasing the little girls with fiddler crabs. In addition to work on canvas and paper, Charles was a skilled sign painter and muralist. His signs and murals are on many buildings throughout the Lowcountry and Washington DC. He painted the signs on the Red Piano Too building. “Ravenel Seafood” on US 17 in Ravenel, South Carolina boasts a mural by Charles. Charles was working on a sign for a business on King Street in Charleston when he became ill, went to the hospital and died.

Charles was very proud of the logo he designed for the US Naval Clinic in Charleston. He received special recognition at the dedication. More recently he was chosen to create the art

for the 2013 Charleston Moja Festival held in Charleston.

Charles’ art is in collections all over the world. South Carolina artist, Jonathan Green owns work by Charles.

Rolling Stone guitarist, Keith Richards owns, WEST 59th STREET, a painting of a musician which captures the essence of the urban jazz scene.

This man, Charles Desaussure, was very dear to us as a friend and as a great talent in the world of the self-taught Southern artist. He will be missed greatly. He will be missed by his family, his friends, his collectors. His extended family at the Red Piano Too will never forget him.

The Red Piano Too August Summer Show will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The tribute is free and open to the public.

The gallery has created a display of works by Charles. Please join us as we celebrate our friend and fellow artist.

South Carolina teen publishes first novel Joseph Murphy Landing, Jr. is an inspiration to writers of all ages. Only a junior at Wando High School, Landing has published his first novel, “Tamechactee-Arrow Soul” and will be signing books Saturday, August 3rd from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at McIntosh Book Shoppe, located at 919 Bay Street.

Landing began his writing career at the age of thirteen, announcing to his parents that he was starting his first novel. From a very young age he loved books; his parents and older sister read to him, and when he was barely in kindergarten, he was reading on his own.

When Joseph learned to talk, it became apparent that he loved words and often used vocabulary that sounded precocious coming from a young child. His family soon realized that Joseph had a flair for the dramatic and a vivid imagination.

When asked why he decided to write his first novel, Landing humbly explains, “I was a big reader throughout elementary and middle school, and I remember thinking, ‘If those authors can write stories like these, why can’t

I?’ Originally I started writing the novel merely out of curiosity to see if I could do it. Now that I think back on it, Joseph Murphy I realize that I Landing, Jr. was writing for a purpose. I knew that the written word would last for a long time, so I started writing ‘TamechacteeArrow Soul.’”

And Landing is very appreciative of his parents for allowing him to pursue his dream.

“I’m very thankful towards both of my parents for all of their support; but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that without my mother, this book would have never gotten off the ground. Mom also has been with me at book signings and has provided tons of emotional support. I can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she has put in for me and this novel.

My Dad also helped in setting up my

What happens when you pack hundreds of hungry Beaufortonians into Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and provide homecooked Lowcountry Boil for all? You get one heck of a deliciously fun night, one that families and foodies look forward to during the seventh night of Water Festival.

Festivalgoers were ready for the gates to open at 6 p.m., and the lines started at the entrance by the Downtown Marina and wrapped all the way to Plums along Bay Street.

Once through the gates, the buffet began and volunteers from the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry and the Water Festival served up the essential components that make up Lowcountry Boil: sausage, corn on the cob, coleslaw, and of course local steamed shrimp.

Organizers had to scramble to find a way to cook the 1,000 pounds of shrimp because there was a problem in the kitchen at their traditional location of Naval Hospital Beaufort. But with the help of volunteers and the community, they found a way at the last minute, and to the unsuspecting diners, the shrimp was as savory and plentiful as it is every year.

The Pirettes served rolls

and also assisted families who had their hands full with kids and plates of food. A first-year Pirette came to the rescue of me and my husband and our stroller-riding toddler as she carried our cups of sweet tea all the way to our seats: It was a big help!

The Lunch Bunch thought that the amount of sausage we received was more than last year, and we welcomed the upgrade.

The half corn cobs were perfectly cooked, and while the shrimp was just as good as ever, the consistency of the cocktail sauce was a little weird. But the giant slices of juicy watermelon seem to symbolize summer and Rotary volunteers cheerily serve up cooked local shrimp, sausage, corn cobs, rolls, and watermelon. make for the ideal way to top off the meal.

Congrats to Stacey Canaday and her crew for once again pulling off this giant undertaking of feeding the masses.

Of course, a huge meal in Waterfront Park would not be complete without the accompaniment of live music.

This year, the crowd was rocking to the upbeat tunes of the opening local band The Blue Dots, followed by the always entertaining Whistlers, an annual Water Festival tradition. Later in the night, the Eagles tribute band On the Border from Charlotte,

wine

There’s Nothing Like A Breath of Fresh Air

By Celia Strong

So, I hate to tell you this, but we’re not going to get to talk about just wine this week. For sure there’ll be some wine, a favorite of mind; but I have to tell you about an experience I had in the last couple of weeks, with wine, but with something more involved too. And, it’s the something more that is really important. In all honesty, I never thought this week’s topic would ever come up. Ever. And, I did subject myself (and others, so you don’t have to believe just me) to a bit of research before bringing to you. But, if you’re willing to do the research (which involves drinking), I promise you will come out on the good end of things.

To start the story. I opened a bottle of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon one night. (Yes, the name will follow shortly).

Not a new wine for me, or some of you.

That first night I only had a couple of smaller size glasses, so half the bottle was left. On the sixth night after it was opened, I was able to get back to it and pour myself the third glass from that same bottle.

OMG! OMG!! OMG!!!

After those six nights, and after the extra air got into the bottle with the pouring of the first two glasses, the wine became so much better. I immediately sent an email to the winery about how good the wine was and what a shame it is that we drink wines as soon as we buy them. And, then, as we are all prone to do as we drink, I started pondering how can we get wines to be this great everyday? Buy them and save them for several years under strict conditions?

Sure, that’s one way. But who wants to plan their Friday night bottle weeks, months or years before? Can’t do that! Plan on Monday what we’re going to feel like on Friday night and open the bottle ahead of time so it can develop in its bottle. Sure, a second option, but I can’t do that. And I suspect neither can you. And, who wants to even try?

So, I’m sipping my great wine thinking, and “flash,” I have an answer. What if you could do to the wine, on your time, on your schedule, what it did to itself, on its own, in the open bottle? For sure this makes sense and, still for sure, there must be some way to do it. And you know? There is. OMG! OMG!! OMG!!!

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

Let’s back up for a quick moment and understand why wine can be helped to taste better by letting some air get at it.

This can be called letting the wine “breathe” or “aerating” the wine. And, the mixing of the wine with air can be done several ways.

The main purpose of the process, however it’s done, is to oxidize the wine. Oxidizing wine can take place in a sealed bottle as it ages. Despite the seal, and I guess we’re talking about cork seals, some air does seep into the bottle. That air mingles with the wine and bonds with molecules of the wine to change textures mostly and some of the flavors. As the wine sits in its unopened bottle, we say it is aging and maturing. Hence, the new textures and flavors are those of a more mature wine.

And, as we look at these new aspects, we get to decide how we best like a particular wine to taste and feel in our mouths. (In the case of bottles with screwtop closures, this seepage of air into the bottle is basically impossible. That means, if we like a wine a bit more mature, we have to be able to help it age). The main characteristics of an aged wine, or an aerated one, are smoother textures and more open flavors. In the case of red wines, it is mostly the tannins (the harsh, astringent texture on the back of your teeth) that bond with the oxygen and become smoother feeling. Then, that smoother feeling let’s your mouth better perceive the flavors. Some flavors even that were totally not noticeable in the unaerated wine. Some white wines also benefit from breathing. Their acids bond with air molecules and the wines become smoother textured also. And more flavorful.

The are several techniques to mix air with our wine. One is to decant (pour the wine from its bottle into a second container), where the wine bonds with molecules of air as it poured into a decanter. This particular method also lets you leave any sediment in the wine behind in the bottle. (Sediment

the island news | august 1-7, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

My wine is Terra Valentine Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, at $22.99. A good test also because Cabernet has so many tannins. This wine has been a personal favorite for a long time, so the first taste without aerating is fine. does settle out of wines, mostly reds, mostly heavier styles, as they sit and age in their bottles). I guess the drawbacks to decanting are you have to do the whole bottle, it involves more dishwashing after you finish and takes a bit of time. A second way to aerate, or breathe, a wine is in your glass. A much easier method, but also much less air gets incorporated into your wine. On the positive side for this method, each drinker can do as much aerating as they like. On the negative side, because you get less air this way, you can end up getting less wine than your fellow drinkers because you’re spending more time swirling your glass. I’m guessing no one wants less wine. Especially if you’re making it taste better on purpose.

The latest way to aerate wine is with one of the wine toys that have become available for the last several years. These are actually called “aerators.” So clever. They are used as

a wine is poured. And, depending on style, can put used in the neck of the bottle or over each individual glass. Over each glass, allows each person do, or not do, their own.

Already a positive. There are several brands and prices of this kind of aerator. Some more moderate in the amount of air they mix with the wine. Some with more gurgle noise as you pour. (Don’t mistake the noise for an upset tummy. It’s similar.) And, some you have to hold onto the whole time you’re pouring…some that just rest on each glass as you pour.

This individual, one glass at a time, seems to get the job done with the least effort, the quickest; and, each drinker can use it as they please. You can even taste a sip of the wine without air immediately after a second sip with air and fill your glass as you like it.

So, let’s see if I can get a new bottle to taste as good as if it had been “breathing” for six days. My wine is Terra Valentine Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, at $22.99. A good test also because Cabernet has so many tannins. This wine has been a personal favorite for a long time, so the first taste without aerating is fine. But, yes, the tannins are noticeable, and the flavors are a bit tight. I do taste dark fruits, though, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, and coffee grounds, a hint of herbal/medicinal something. There are layers of flavors and textures, a good sign. My fellow tasters agreed - tannins, good flavors but tight.

Second glass, same size and shape glass to be fair, with the wine poured through an aerator. Immediately, we notice the wine is smoother feeling. Actually, if I thought I could get away with it, I’d say it even smelled smoother. Much smoother in our mouths and way more flavors and stronger, more noticeable flavors.

We all thought it was a better bottle. It was definitely much closer to the six day “breathed” bottle, without having to plan six days ahead. Thank goodness, drinking can still be spontaneous. More good news?

Our aerator was only $5.99. Yes, a cheap toy. But cheap enough to try playing with and seeing what it does for any wine. Red or white. $10, $20, $30, however much.

Whenever. And more good news? I think when you play, you get to drink. A breath of fresh air. OMG! Enjoy.

Kids and Dogs: a Common Sense Approach

By Tracie Korol

“My child is good with dogs.” That’s a statement I have heard more than once.

It is often paired with “my dog will let my child do anything to her.” Do anything to her. Anything? Yikes! There is a huge gap between how humans and dogs perceive any situation. There is an even larger gap between what dogs perceive and what tiny children perceive as “anything”, the result often being ruined dogs and injured children. Training a dog is not a guarantee of indefinite good behavior as long as children are allowed to carry out what is tantamount to dog abuse, though parents may not realize it when it is happening.

No child under school age should be left alone with a dog, any dog, your dog.

Even having big brother in the room is not sufficient supervision. The person in charge needs to be able to control both the actions of the child and the dog. If there is any doubt in the steadiness of either one, you’ll need an individual handler for both parties.

Granted, this destroys one of America’s favorite images of kids and dogs, the dog as the perfect babysitter. But it’s just not safe to put the dog in that position.

The mental capacity for empathyawareness of hurting another creature doesn’t happen until a child is 5 to 7 years old. Most children do not understand that certain actions can hurt a dog. I have seen small children switch from dragging their stuffed monkey around by the arm to attempting to drag the family pet by the ear with the same enthusiasm. Should a dog become convinced that tiny people could inflict pain or fear, damage has been done

to that dog’s trust in children forevermore.

If the dog believes you will stand by and let this happen, or leave him at the mercy of the child without you being there, eventually the dog will have no choice but self-defense.

By the time the dog shows a reaction, the damage may have already been done. This is true of dogs raised from puppy hood with improperly supervised children. Parents do not realize what has happened in the dog’s mind by being so pleased that the puppy “would let the children do anything to her”.

By the time a dog’s defense drives mature, and the dog is capable of doing something about the kids, the dog’s beliefs about kids are set.

My beagle (The Bea) is a case in point.

Her formative months were spent as the not-very-well-cared-for puppy of the owner of a day care center. To her last day, seventeen years later, Bea would cringe and slink away as fast as she could when a small child approached her. (I do too, but that’s another article.)Kids and dogs both benefit when properly managed.

Research indicates that children growing up with well-cared-for dogs have mental and emotional advantages that extend throughout life. On the other hand, an

abused dog in the household is a warning sign that there may also be child or spousal abuse occurring. The First Strike program, sponsored by HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) speaks specifically to this issue.

Managing a household with pre-school children and training a dog (especially a puppy) is complex. Families often wait until the children are of school age before adopting a family dog. Another option is to adopt, raise and train a dog to positively perceive children before having the first child. Another choice is adopt an adult dog that has proven to be great with kids. A trainer can help you make that determination.

A parent watching a child and dog interact is at a disadvantage when the parent may not know which behaviors from

the child are perceived as threats to the dog.

You should never allow a child to: 1. Pull the dogs’ ears or tail 2. Poke at eyes with fingers or anything else 3. Swing objects at the dog 4. Grab any part of the dog 5. Tug or otherwise compete with the dog for toys, food or other items 6. Suddenly get into a dog’s face 7. Disturb a dog that is sleeping or eating 8. Pet someone else’s dog before receiving permission from the owner 9. Pet or provoke a dog through a fence or one that is tethered 10. Approach the nest of a nursing mother with puppies 11. Run (or squeal) in the sight of a strange dog 12. Ride a dog like a horse, lie down on a dog, or otherwise put significant weight on the dog It’s important not to blame kids for being kids or dogs for being dogs. We can, however, teach dogs and kids to enjoy each other’s company more by building an understanding of each other’s behavior.
