School promotes Couch to 5K program Only one month into the New Year, and 25 Beaufortonians are fulfilling their first New Year’s resolution. Whether to get in shape, build healthier habits, or simply run further than they have in years, these individuals joined Beaufort’s first Couch to 5K program in early December and will participate in the Chilly Bean 5K on Saturday, February 1, at Coosaw Point on Lady’s Island. Motivated each by personal goals and led by one of eight volunteer coaches, the group started building their endurance in December, in addition to learning about healthy eating habits. Made up of individuals, couples, a mother and daughter duo, and even an entire family,

many participated in their first group training run on January 7. Beaufort’s first Couch to 5K program was put into action by Shannon Roberts, a local runner and the Chilly Bean 5K

organizer. “I have been amazed and so proud to see the transformation of selfproclaimed non-runners into full-blown runners,” said Roberts. “Our participants are already asking their coaches to go farther and faster on each run. Some of them have even looked toward their second race, a 10K in April. They are inspiring each other, their friends and families.” The Couch to 5K runners have a goal of taking part in the Chilly Bean 5K, a family-friendly event that will benefit the Parents’ Association at Beaufort Academy. The 5K begins at 10:30 a.m., and is open to all runners and walkers.

USCB presents ‘The Hen Party’ and ‘The Beaufortettes: Tap Dancing Divas’ Women just love to laugh! And they love to laugh most with each other about common trials and tribulations. “The Hen Party” at USCB Center for the Arts on Thursday, Jan. 30 will keep you laughing with an evening of hilarious introspection that ponders the question, “Do these feathers make my butt look big?” Karen Mills, one of the original “Southern Fried Chicks,” teams up with

Mia Jackson and Sheri Taylor to find the funny in the everyday life of women, wives, mothers, daughters and friends. Low-rise jeans, teenage children, memory loss and new-fangled technology are just a few of the topics these funny ladies will explore, all delivered with liberal doses of goodnatured humor, love and laughter.

community news news brief Shooting death now under investigation

On Saturday, January 18, 2014 at approximately 9:55 p.m., Beaufort Memorial Hospital Emergency Room personnel contacted Beaufort County Emergency Dispatch and reported a gunshot victim had been dropped off by an unknown male subject. The victim, identified as Tyrice Washington, 27, of Seabrook was

The circumstances surrounding the shooting, where it

actually occurred and Delaney Jr’s role, are currently under investigation. He was charged with unlawful carrying of a handgun and unlawful possession of a handgun with an obliterated serial number, along with speeding. Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to contact Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Fraser (843-2553416), Corporal Jason Malphrus (843-255-3426) or CrimeStoppers (1-888-CRIMESC/1-888-274-6372).

THE INDIE FILM CORNER In A World: Lake Bell (“Children’s Hospital”) stars in “In a World,” a hilarious romantic comedy about a struggling vocal coach who strikes it big in the cutthroat world of movie-trailer voiceovers, only to find herself in direct competition with the industry’s reigning king — her father. Written and directed by Bell, who won the Sundance 2013 Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for the script, “In a World” also stars Fred Melamed (“A Serious Man”), Rob Corddry, Demetri Martin, Michaela Watkins (“Enlightened”), Ken Marino (“Burning Love”), Nick Offerman (“Parks and Recreation”), Alexandra Holden (The Hot Chick) and Tig Notaro (“The Sarah Silverman Program”). The film will be at USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, on Monday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5.

The Invisible War: The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Beaufort County (NAMI) is partnering with Hope Haven of the Lowcountry and USCB to present the Academy Award® nominated film “The Invisible War” on Tuesday, January 28, at 6 p.m., at USCB’s Center for the Arts. Focusing on the powerful stories of several young veterans, “The Invisible War” is a moving examination of the staggering personal and societal costs of sexual assaults in the US military. Combining interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress with the devastating testimony of veterans, the film catalogues the conditions that have protected perpetrators and allowed this epidemic to continue. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. After the screening there will be a panel-led discussion. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Contact Laura Conway at 843-681-2200, ext. 2#, or email nami@hargray.com to reserve your seat.

continued from page 1 Opening the Hen Party show will be Beaufort’s own “The Beaufortettes — Tap Dancing Divas” shaking their tail feathers. These “ladies of a certain age” can keep up with spring chickens half their age, with great legs to match. They are first place winners of a number of dance competitions and hold the title of National Adult Dance Champions. Their director, Aleisia Ashlaw of Beaufort Academy of Dance, keeps them in shape with two “tapercize” dance classes every week which, according to Dance Captain Janet Gregory, keeps them young in mind, body and spirit. “She keeps us on our toes and our kicks high,” said Gregory. “Years ago none of us thought we would be up on a stage in tights at our ages, but now we love the fact that we are Medicare’s version of the Rockettes!” The 11-member dance team ranges in age from 65 to 80 and have several bionic parts among them. All but three are retired from careers that include a microbiologist, a biochemist, two college professors, a computer programmer, a commercial scuba diver, a school teacher and a buyer for Ralph Lauren. Two others are dedicated travelers and the last is a local businesswoman who must juggle her demanding professional schedule with classes and performances. The Beaufortettes have been dancing

together since 2006, and this September they really will be “living their dream” when they perform aboard a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship to the Bahamas. Hen Party chicks keep the laughter coming Standup comedian Karen Mills has been playing in theaters and clubs across the country for more than 20 years. She had a rough patch while battling cancer last year but never lost her sense of humor. In fact, her illness has provided her with some new material to inspire people to see the love and laughter in their common challenges. The national touring comedian appears regularly on Sirius XM Laugh USA and recorded a one-hour special for Blue Collar Radio. Mia Jackson has appeared on Oxygen Network’s “Girls Behaving Badly” and TLC’s “Wild Weddings.” She was a finalist in the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival in Atlanta and taped a spot for “NickMoms’ Night Out.” Sheri Taylor comes from a background in theater, radio, voice work and improv, and worked with comedians James Gregory and Jimmy Walker. Currently she is on the morning radio show “Love in the Morning.” So gather up your girlfriends for a great evening of laughs suitable for the whole family on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for adults are $22; seniors, $20; students are $15, and can be purchased online at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling the box office at 843-5214145.

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

With successful careers that led them from Maine to California, Dennis and Elizabeth Jenkins are now proud to call Beaufort home

‘we have never looked back’ By Lanier Laney

Dennis and Elizabeth Jenkins grew up in the same small Wisconsin town where their parents were friends. They used to walk home together from catechism class and fell in love in eighth grade. They were married at 19 and have been very happily married now for 45 years. They both attended the University of Wisconsin where Dennis got a pharmacist degree. Elizabeth realized she had a passion for cooking and pursued that dream by attending the Vermont School of Culinary Arts, the Le Cordon Bleu School in London and eventually the prestigious Culinary Arts of America’s graduate school in St. Helena, California. She also studied under famed Chef Jacque Pepin. Her first job as a chef was for the Palm Cafe in Bar Harbor, Maine, that became a favorite fine dining spot for the wealthy set that summered there in the 1980s. Says Dennis, “Elizabeth is the most amazing person I have every known. She has always been an adventuress, looking for anything new and exciting. She talked me into leaving our little, secure hometown to head to Bar Harbor, Maine, with a 4 and 5 year old and not knowing anybody there with only a promise of my first pharmacy job. She was eager, with an attitude like ‘damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead, what do we have to lose?’ Me? I got a rash that didn’t clear up for a week after we got there!” Along with her job as a chef, Elizabeth decided to also open a catering business in Bar Harbor called Compliments Catering. Word of her great cooking spread and quickly her clients became the rich and famous summering in the area. Her clientele list read like the social register of America: The David Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, the Bass Family, the secretary of defense, Casper Weinberger, Martha Stewart, Diana Wister (who owns Godiva Chocolates) and Campbell Soup heir Tristam Colket, to name just a few. Says Elizabeth, “Yes, I catered for Casper and Jane Weinberger for years, in fact, did the 80th birthday party celebration for Casper which included George Bush, George Schultz and others. Jane Weinberger asked me one day to make puff pastry for a luncheon she was doing for a special guest. I said I was happy to make homemade puff pastry but who was it for? ‘Julia Child is coming to my home for lunch, but I want her to think I made it. Are you OK with that?’ said Jane with a smile. Fortunately, Julia LOVED the Coulibac of Salmon! So I was definitely OK with that!” Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth was named the first female

executive chef at The Pot and Kettle Club in Bar Harbor, a famous 100-year-old summer men’s club consisting of wealthy and powerful political members in Washington. The Jenkins spent May to October in Maine, but to escape the seasonal cold began spending winters in Sonoma, California. Elizabeth said, “We drove from Bar Harbor, Maine, to Sonoma, California, for 10 years, as we wintered in California and couldn’t fly our dog. That’s over 3,000 miles each way for 10 years for a grand total of over 60,000 miles. I loved every minute of each trip. Dennis rides well; best friends make the best husbands.” Many Beaufortonians may recognize Dennis as the friendly pharmacist face from Bi-Lo, Publix and Walgreens. Currently, Dennis is a part time pharmacist with Beaufort Jasper Comprehensive Health Services. He also continues to run First Exposure, a company that provides photographic services via a network of nationwide photographers to the vacation tour industry in the U.S. and Europe. Tauck Tours — which offers specialty tours, including buses, cruises and rail journeys to all seven continents — has been his client, among others, for 30 years. They are justifiably proud of their son David and beautiful daughter Andrea. David Jenkins, 43, spent 20 years as a major in the U.S. Coast Guard assisting the DEA in exotic locales such as Columbia and Bahrain. He is now a reservist, the father of 8-year-old twins, (Will and Hannah), and a sales executive for Hewlett Packard. His wife Sally has worked in the tech industry for over two decades and was most recently the EVP of Global Marketing at Symmantec. David and his family live in Los Gatos, California. Their daughter Andrea is also a veteran of the tech industry, having worked as a graphic/web designer

at companies such as Wired Magazine, CNET and Microsoft, and currently is a senior interface designer for Major League Baseball. Elizabeth says, “Many may know Andrea locally as she lived in Beaufort for seven years at Habersham, and designed logos for many local businesses such as Fat Patties, City Java, Joli, and Shoofly Kitchen. She is now happily living in Los Angeles and designing for the LA Dodgers. She and her dog, Indie, love being back on the West Coast where they are rubbing elbows with various celebrities and their dogs. (They most recently met Michael C. Hall of “Dexter” and his pup Salamander!)” Says Dennis, “We have lived in some gorgeous places, but nothing has captured our hearts like Beaufort. We were living in Sonoma and decided to take a trip to Beaufort after seeing some press in Coastal Living Magazine. We were here less than a week and decided to purchase in Coosaw Point. We have never looked back.” Elizabeth adds,“My career has included wine consulting, teaching, business development and work as a private chef. I conceptualized and opened Small City Cooking School and Market in Port Royal in 2006 and loved teaching and sharing my knowledge. These days I love to do small parties, 30 and under, but will do weddings and parties up to 125. I am trained in classic French cuisine, but can really rock Italian. Most private chef gigs are for a period of a month or so but I can do one night and can fit into most budgets.” She would also love to do small group cooking classes in people’s homes.“The only stumbling block to being a great cook is the fear that you may fail. But if you love good food, you will succeed,” she said. Her catering and private chef clients here have included Caroline and John Trask, Dick Stewart, as well as residents of Spring and Brays islands. Says Dennis about his beloved wife: “I am happily married to a remarkable woman. She is strong, intelligent, detailed, ambitious, humble, extremely talented, has vision and filled with love for the people who are dear to her heart! I got lucky picking her, since there were only eight girls in my high school class! I’d follow her anywhere. After all, she got me to Beaufort!” For more about Elizabeth’s catering and private chef services or cooking classes, email her at elizachef@gmail. com or call 843-597-3216.

HBF hosts beautiful oyster roast By Lanier Laney

Terry Sweeney and with the cast of “Baby Daddy” on set in Hollywood.

Guests to Historic Beaufort Foundation’s oyster roast fundraiser were greeted with beautiful weather and a spectacular sunset over the water followed by a big orange moon rise at the picturesque Fripp Plantation, generously donated for the occasion by owners Joe and Lin Mix. HBF’s Isabelle Reeves did a superb job pulling the whole thing together with great music by Bull Grapes and delicious food by Reeves Catering. A big thanks to the major sponsors — Gilbert Law Firm and Land Rover Hilton Head — who helped make it possible with their generous donations. More than 200 people attended this year’s annual event last Friday, Jan. 17. Here are some photos for you from Captured Moments Photography:

This past week I’ve been on the Hollywood studio set of “Baby Daddy” — the ABC Family sitcom where Island News Wine Columnist Terry Sweeney has been guest starring. The talented cast of the show have all been super friendly and great fun to work with, Terry said. The new season of “Baby Daddy” just premiered. Terry’s episode will air in June as it is the next to the last episode of the season. While on the lot, we saw Valerie Bertinelli (on crutches from a broken foot) and the legendary Betty White who was so very nice and said she was a fan of Terry’s from his SNL days. Remember her from the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “Golden Girls”? Valerie and Betty both star in “Hot in Cleveland” on TVLand which tapes next door to the “Baby Daddy” studio. Friends in Beaufort have asked me what I have found new about LA since the last time I was here a few years ago. Here are my observations: • Vegan restaurants everywhere and vegan items on every menu. It’s the new trend in food here for its healthy heart and humane reasons. • Southern food is also everywhere, with even the highest end restaurants offering fried chicken on the menu, as well as red velvet cake. • Hoppin’ John, a Lowcountry dish, was on the specials list of the first restaurant we ate at, which we found surprising. • “Cold press juices” are major here. They have whole storefronts dedicated entirely to “Supergreen” juices to-go that cost anywhere from $7 to $10 a bottle. There was not just one, not just two, but three storefronts selling only “cold pressed juices” which still have the pulp) in the shopping district a few blocks from where we were staying. • Finally, every supermarket charges shoppers 10 cents a bag for every bag you use to bag your groceries, if you were so foolish not to bring your own bags from home. Hope Publix and Bi-Lo don’t hear about that trend!

When people avoid the dentist their teeth don’t get better. Putting dental care off is such a hindrance to health that we work as carefully to make you comfortable as we do in fixing dental problems. At the office of Dr. Stephen Durham, we start with your first visit, creating a Personalized Service Profile that spells out how you prefer to experience your treatment. We review that PSP each morning as we prepare for your visit. Whether you want just a little reassurance, or prefer to sleep through the whole visit, we are equipped and qualified to provide that, and everything in-between. From the smell of fresh-baked cookies in our office, to warm towels, blankets, eye covers and personalized iPod music – to the specialorder surface anesthetics we use to take the pain out of injections – to “twilight” sensation and even full sedation – we proceed in whatever way you find the greatest comfort. Your comfort preferences become as much a part of what we know about you as your dental history. It’s that important.

After the holidays: Back to the real world By Danette Vernon

what is important to the child, so that they know how to reward the child with what has meaning — and what to take away. You should only take things away from a child after a plan is in place and the child understands the consequences. 3. In addition, you the parent, will need to teach your child how to calm themselves down. That can be as easy as asking your child. They may have some ideas, or you can help them develop a list of options. 4. Finally, many experts develop charts for the child to look at as a reminder when it comes to“what to do next.” Or the chart may provide information, such as what “clean” really means when completing a chore. At home you might set a timer to help your child wait, or promise that you will spend time with them at a particular point in the day, and keep that promise. Jed Baker, Ph.D., in his book “No More Meltdowns” suggests a red light, green light card system for when you can or can’t talk with mom; an area filled with things to do while waiting; or keeping pencil and paper handy for your child to write down their question so that anxiety about forgetting what they want to say while they “wait” doesn’t trigger a meltdown. The most important thing is that parents want change for themselves and their family, so take action!

You survived the holidays. Time off from school is over (until Easter). Families can go back to the general squalling bedlam of homework, bath time, and bedtime. Experts believe that children need and actually enjoy structure, but how do you implement structure when all you or your children really know is controlled chaos? Sometimes you can humor or distract your child, and avoid a problem, or even a tantrum. For chronic problems, however, such as getting ready to leave the house, or fighting with a sibling, you need more. You need a plan. That’s what the experts do. 1. Specialists look closely at what happens just before a problem starts, and through a process of elimination they identify the “culprit.” Was your child tired, hungry, feeling left out, or simply confused or embarrassed? If at all possible, discuss the situation with the child after the child has regained composure. They are a valuable source of information. This juncture is also a good time to give your child insight into the“whys” and“wherefores” of other people’s behavior. Children who have behavioral troubles frequently can’t grasp other people’s feelings, or misinterpret the feelings of others. 2. Next, as a part of the process, authorities in human behavior find out

wine

A wine with attitude By Celia Strong

A wine with an attitude. Imagine that. An attitude will get you through a bad day. An attitude will help you do things you don’t like to do. An attitude will make you who you are. An attitude is one thing, and a glass with an attitude is something else, which we are about to learn. With good attitudes we can discover the history and winemaking techniques before we taste our new wine for this week. The wine is from France, the Loire Valley. The Loire is a river that runs from south of Paris westward to the Atlantic Ocean. There are 87 appellations in this valley — AC, VDQS and “vins de pays.” The majority of Loire wines are white, made mostly from Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet, aka Melon de Bourgogne. (The few red wines here are made mostly from Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Pinot Noir.) As a group, Loire Valley wines tend to have varietal fruitiness and fresh, crisp flavors, especially when drunk young. The history of wine in the Loire is interesting and varied, depending on where along the 350 mile long river you pick to study. We are going to look at the most eastern end of the river, specifically the town of Sancerre. Sancerre was a medieval hilltop town, commune and canton, located in the area of Gaul that was settled by the Celtic tribe (Gaule Celtique) the Bituriges (or “kings of the world” as they liked to call

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

themselves), and then the Romans. There is some evidence of a Roman temple dedicated to Julius Cæsar. It is possible that the town Sancerre’s name is a derivative of “SaintCere,” an anglicized version of its ancient name meaning “sacred to Cæsar.” Sancerre is also a former possession of the Comtes (Counts) of Champagne. The town had six towers built around it, all meant to help protect it. The Romans were probably the first to develop vineyards in Sancerre, in the first century AD. Besides being on a navigable river, the chalk-based soil fit the profile that Romans knew would grow good grapes. Also, being a hilltop town, the slopes around Sancerre made for perfect drainage for the vines. For a while, this end of the valley was linked to the Duchy of Burgundy. This is probably how Pinot Noir, Gamay and Muscadet (Melon de Bourgogne) made their way into Loire vineyards. For a long time, the wines from the Loire were more popular in the Netherlands than in France or England. The Dutch

This wine is 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc with a brilliant straw gold color and a clean, fresh and youthful taste. used the river as their main entry way into trade with Europe. (The British used the Bordeaux rivers and grew fonder of those wines.) Later, after World War II, Loire wines gained a reputation in Paris bistros. For a while, Loire wines were popular choices for many who couldn’t — or didn’t want to — pay the higher prices for Burgundy and Bordeaux wines. The white wines from Sancerre and its surrounding areas are made with Sauvignon Blanc. This variety traces its origins to this part of the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. Its name comes from the French words “sauvage,” for its wild origins, and “blanc,” for “white.” Generally, its wines are crisp, dry, refreshing, and it is grown in most wine producing countries around the world. In the continental climate of the Loire Valley, these grapes ripen slowly and are allowed time to develop a balance between their acidity and their sugar levels. This balance helps the development of more intense aromas in the wines. The chalk and Kimmeridgean soils of Sancerre produce rich and complex wines. (More chalk in the soil produces more finesse and perfume in the wines, while more gravel produces spicy, floral and mineral nuances.) Sauvignon Blanc grows better in cooler climates — too warm and the grapes get over-ripe and the resulting wines have dull flavors and flat acidity. (Winespeak for OK, maybe, but not so great.) It’s interesting to note that global warming is even interfering here. Some growers are finding that they have to harvest their Sauvignon Blanc grapes earlier than they used to in order to maintain their acidity. So, our winery for this week is the house

of Pascal Jolivet. Founded in 1987, this is one of the most dynamic producers in the Loire Valley today. It is based in Sancerre and owns more than 70 acres of vineyards in Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé across the Loire from Sancerre and some surrounding areas. (So, actually Pouilly-sur-Loire is the town across from Sancerre. Their wines are called Pouilly Fumé.) In addition, the Jolivet domaine has long-term contracts with prime growers. Pascal Jolivet is a believer in natural winemaking. He uses environmentally friendly techniques in the vineyards and in his winery. This includes biodynamic vinification — a longer, slower process that makes wines with finesse, elegance and purity with clean aromas and flavors. Jolivet does use technology to control his fermentation, not to interfere, though. Too much technology can result in heavy wines that don’t go well with food. (The wines of Sancerre are known to be great foodpairing wines!) Jolivet makes several different Sancerre wines, sourced from different, specific vineyards; some with more, less or no barrel aging. Jolivet is known to say, “I have a strong philosophy that our wine is a beverage meant to compliment food.” But, of more importance to us this week, is his Sauvignon Blanc wine made from a nearby vineyard. This wine is 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc, grown in a single, estate vineyard in the Chevery appellation. The wine is called “Attitude.” The 2012 Attitude is a brilliant straw gold color with a clear rim. Clean and fresh and youthful, it is classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. It has delicate hints of lime, grapefruit, green apple and kiwi. A soft entry on your palate and a supple texture make it pleasant with food and by itself. What food? Shellfish, raw, steamed, or broiled; white fish; chicken breasts; and veal. And my favorite? Goat cheese. In particular, Chevre. Up and down the Loire Valley, almost each town has its own version of goat cheese. Chevre is the goat cheese from Sancerre. Try this wine with some Chevre and you too can have an attitude, even if you don’t usually like goat cheeses. Like we said, an attitude can help you do things you don’t like to do. A glass of Attitude can too! A glass of Attitude might help you like some new things. It sure can’t hurt. And that is a good attitude. For $16.99. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

What about pet insurance? By Tracie Korol

Pet lovers usually say they’ll do anything for their pets. But when the price of veterinary care starts bumping into thousands of dollars for a single procedure, “anything” begins to look a little different. That’s where pet insurers say they can help. For monthly premiums of $30 to more than $90, they promise to pay a portion of your pet’s bills for medical and surgical care. What you pay depends on where you live, your pet’s breed and age, the deductible and the coverage. Although pet insurance has been around for a couple of decades, what has changed, perhaps because pet insurance has been around for a couple of decades, is the state of veterinary science as well as the economics of running a veterinary practice. Vets now offer treatments for our pets that were unheard of a few years ago at prices that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Isotope therapy, kidney transplants and facial reconstruction are now available for our animals. Once-fatal conditions are now treatable at costs ranging from $1000 to more than $10,000 per procedure. Vets now have access to increasingly sophisticated and costly diagnostic tools, such as MRIs, allowing them to detect problems that would have previously gone unnoticed and untreated but also result in boosting the cost of exams to unaffordable levels for the Regular Joe pet owner. Even the “affordable” clinics are no longer affordable. Maybe pet insurance can help offset the

cost. Maybe not. Consider this: Coverage limitations: All pet insurers exclude pre-existing conditions just like human health care policies. Pre-existing conditions for pets can include hereditary conditions (the dreaded hip dysplasia), allergies, fractured teeth, eye disorders, diabetes, and urinary tract malfunctions. An insurer might also exclude a pet’s condition from coverage upon policy renewal. Cost sharing: On top of the monthly premium there’s a deductible, co-pay or both with most insurers. There might be a maximum limit for individual illnesses, or on the yearly, or lifetime reimbursement. Claim quirks: With some plans you foot the bill up front and wait for reimbursement. With most plans, the older your animal, the more you’ll pay in premiums. Some insurers do not cover pets older than nine. There’s also the aggravation factor of doing battle with a customer service representative when what you thought was covered, what you read was covered in your policy is suddenly not covered for no apparent reason. Costly or unnecessary add-ons: Some carriers let you add “wellness” (whatever that means) coverage to accident and

illness policies, but it’s generally not worth the cost. While it’s impossible to predict your dog’s odds of contracting a costly illness or accident, you can take a number of steps to keep him healthy and minimize vet visits: Shop with your eyes open: Do the research when it comes time to get a puppy. Don’t pick a breed that is congenitally prone to a known disorder you’ll have to treat for the next 16 years. Some breeds are mighty cute but come with the problems built in and waiting to happen. Spay or neuter: Neutered animals are less likely to roam or scrap. Spaying reduces the risk of mammary cancer and, oh, repeated pregnancies and lots of puppies.

Feed a clean and healthy diet: So many ailments are a result of or exacerbated by poor nutrition — obesity, arthritis, diabetes, skin allergies, cancers, autoimmune disorders and chronic ear goo to name a few. Eliminate or drastically cut back on chemical intrusions — vaccinations, topical pesticides, household cleaners and dog perfume, my personal “pet” peeve. Get the annual checkup: Head off a possible medical problem before it grows into something unmanageable. But don’t be afraid to say “no, thank you” if you feel a test or procedure is beyond your budget or beyond the borders of common sense. Just because they can doesn’t mean you have to accept it. Pet insurance may a good plan if you have unlimited disposable funds. But here’s another idea — call three pet insurance companies and ask for quotes based on your dog’s particulars. Average the cost of all three. Then contribute monthly that amount to an interest bearing savings account ear-marked only for your pet’s medical needs. With common sense and good dog maintenance, in 16 years you’ll be able to roll that amount into your child’s college fund.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources. The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
