Jennifer Morillo leaves LIMS to become principal at Beaufort Elementary by John C. Williams
With three weeks left before schools re-open, the Beaufort County School Board named Jennifer Morillo as the new principal at Beaufort Elementary School. In an interview with The Island News last December, Morillo said she hoped to be principal of a school within three years – she beat her own goal by 30 months. Morillo, an assistant principal at Lady’s Island Middle who was named the state’s top middle school assistant principal in 2008, takes over from Dr. Terry Hitch. Superintendent Valerie Truesdale made Hitch the school district’s new director of academic assistance.
Jennifer Morillo
In that role, Hitch will work closely with the district’s early childhood centers and kindergarten through second grade teams to promote early academic success for children, according to district officials.
Morillo came to the Beaufort County School District in 2001. She has worked as a mathematics teacher at H. E. McCracken Middle School from 2001 – 2004 and as assistant principal at Lady’s Island Middle School from 2004 until now. In a profile published in The Island News last December, Morillo already was voicing her desires to lead a school. “I realized in my first teaching job that I didn’t want to spend 28 years in the classroom,” she said in a recent interview. “I wanted to teach for five to eight years, and I taught for seven. I think I have a good eye for looking at data to find out where students are succeeding and where they need more focus, and I work well helping teachers find new ways to connect to students. “My desire is to meet the academic needs of the students,” she said in that story. “Gone are the days where we randomly put kids in classes – now we place them based on their needs, based on the data we have from any number of assessments” such as the MAP testing (Measures of continued on page 13
Elaborate – and huge -‘loggerhead’ family golf cart float wins Fripp contest by John C. Williams
Each Independence Day, Fripp Island holds a contest for the best decorated golf cart in its parade. Sometimes families string together some red, white and blue bunting and they’re done in five minutes. Other families take a different approach … Consider this story from Joe and Johnsie Brown of Lake Norman, near Charlotte, NC. “We have been coming to Fripp for the last four years. Our daughter, Carrie Canfield and grandchildren, Caite age 12 and Ted age 9, live live in Doha, Qatar where her husband is in the petrochemical business,” Johnsie Brown said. “Concept work began late spring shortly after the (Fripp) resort announced this year’s theme ‘Music through the Ages.’ The grandchildren used videoconferencing via computer to develop their idea of building a float replicating a loggerhead turtle. They decided that their entry would be called ‘the Loggerhead Limbo.’ “The top of the golf cart was removed about two weeks before the parade and actual construction started at that time,” Mrs. Brown said. “The first step was to erect a metal frame shaped like a turtle shell, then attach chicken wire reinforced with sheets of Styrofoam. The head and fins were done using the same method. Once these steps were accomplished, the children used glue and old newspapers to paper mache’ the actual body of the turtle. continued on page 11

News Pillows for Patriots: ‘They’ll sleep better so we’ll sleep better!’ by John C. Williams
Local parents of a Marine and Army soldier are raising money to send custom-made and compact pillows to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve worked out a deal with a Beaufort-based pillow maker, Harris Pillow Co., to produce, pack and ship the small pillows.
Is your family growing and your home shrinking?
The pillows are 12 inches by 16 inches, can be folded or rolled for easy and compact packing, and are washable with a soft polyester stuffing. “We are accepting donations in support of our cause which is to provide a better night’s sleep for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sometimes all they have is what they can carry in their backpacks, which gives them little or no space for comfort items,” said Barb Farrior. She and her husband Dave Farrior, along with Jenny and Ken Bush, are organizing the “Pillows for Patriots” campaign. The Farrior’s son, Justin, soon will be deploying with his Army unit. The Bush’s son, Jonathan, already is in Afghanistan with his Marine Corps unit. The project isn’t a registered charity, but Farrior said 100 percent of the donations are used to actually make and mail the pillows directly to our servicemen and women. Shannon Erickson, a friend of the Farriors and a South Carolina state representative, supports the project. “Sometimes the best ideas come from someone hearing of a simple need and finding a way to fill it. I know that our young men and women serving overseas in harm’s way deserve their own pillow and (I) love the motto, ‘They’ll sleep better, so we’ll sleep better!,’ Erickson said. “These pillows are packable, cozy and washable,” she said. “John and Patrick Harris have volunteered to make compact and lightweight pillows that we can send to each of our loved ones and their comrades who are deployed overseas. “I started this effort … to support our troops overseas. In this short period of time we have collected enough money to send 150 pillows to Justin for his company which is going to Iraq shortly, and we are sending 100 pillows to Jonathan Bush who is with the

Marines on the front lines in Afghanistan,” Farrior said. “John and Patrick Harris of Harris Pillow Supply are making the pillows and shrink wrapping them for us. All of the donations are used to either buy a pillow, the cost is less then $1.50, and pay the US Postal Service to ship the pillows to APO addresses. Volunteers will be stuffing the shrink wrapped pillows in boxes for shipment. “If you have family members that are deployed overseas, please let us know their addresses and according to the donations we receive, we would be glad to send pillows to them,” she said.

35 YEARS OF QUALITY DENTISTRY Dr. Gene Grace is a graduate of Wofford College and Emory University School of Dentistry. He has provided state of the art dentistry in Beaufort for 35 years. He has also been very active in our community and his church. He and his wife, Beth, a former County Council member, have been married for 37 years and have two daughters, Chilton Simmons and Katherine Hefner. Dr. Katherine Hefner is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina Dental School. She and her husband Ashley, an architect, are also involved in Beaufort. They have one son, Vann. Katherine most recently was co-chair of St. Helena's Church Tour of Homes. Dr Grace and Dr. Hefner have been here for a long time and will continue to live and serve Beaufort. "It's important in our minds to give back to this wonderful community that has been good to us," says Dr. Grace.
Why choose our practice? We have always been on the cutting edge of dentistry. Drs. Grace and Hefner have been trained at the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the foremost cosmetic post-grad school in the world.
Both dentists have been using lasers for five years. Dr Grace eliminated silver fillings from the practice 12 years ago. Some of our cases can be viewed on our website, www.genegrace.com. Our staff is the greatest. Terry Johnson, one of our hygienists, has been in the practice for 24 years. We feel it's important to cover after-hour dental emergencies for our patients.

Just how safe is Lady’s Island? Courtesy LIBPA Newsletter
As part of his discussion with the members of Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association at the recent June meeting, Beaufort County Sheriff P. J. Tanner shared the number and type of incidents his officers reported occurring in the area north of the Broad River for the last two years. The simplified version of the results of this data is that Lady’s Island, with approximately 20% of the population of unincorporated northern Beaufort County, was the location of only 16% of the incidents requiring the attention of a Sheriff ’s Deputy over the last two years. Following is a comparison of the statistics for some of the key types of offenses occurring in the area north of the Broad River in Beaufort County and the number and percentage of those which occurred on Lady’s Island for the period May 1, 2007 to April 30, 2009.

The numbers speak for themselves – Lady’s Island is an exceptionally safe place to live, work and raise a family. With two specific areas (vehicle accidents and vehicle breaking and entering) highlighted as occurring with a higher frequency than might be expected, perhaps we should all heed the recommendations to drive defensively and lock your car when you leave it.
Local News Happenings Beaufort Academy of Dance honored at national dance competition The Beaufort Academy of Dance brought home several awards from a national dance competition held at the Tremaine Dance Convention Center in Orlando July 7- 11. The academy, founded by Artistic Director Aleisia Ashlaw, took 25 of its top dancers to compete in a variety of categories. “When you see your students on stage, competing with other dancers from as far away as Costa Rica and Canada, and holding their own, even winning in certain categories, well, it causes a sense of pride that I find hard to describe, “said Ashlaw. “I’ve watched so many of my students grow from toddlers in my school and I am honored to be able to expose their talents.” The Beaufort Academy of Dance received awards and/or recognition in the following categories: Senior Tap Group, “Footloose”, 1st Place Junior Jazz Duo, “Music in Me”, 3rd Place Junior Hip Hop Group, “Sneaker night”, 2nd Place Junior Lyrical Group, “Hero”, 2nd Place Teen Jazz Duo, “Money”, 3rd Place Senior Lyrical Group, “You Were There”, 3rd Place Junior Jazz Group, “Sign, Sealed, Delivered”, 4th Place Teen Jazz Production, “Love Shack”, 4th Place Senior Jazz Group, “Paint it Black”, 4th Place Dancers nationwide must place in the top three slots at regional competitions held in over 30 cities nationwide to be invited to compete at Tremaine.

School News TCL instructors obtain St. Helena Elementary to LEED certification for hold ‘Back to School’ meet ‘green’ expertise and greet Tuesday Three industrial technology instructors at the Technical College of the Lowcountry recently obtained the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Accredited Professional (AP) certification. Civil Engineering Technology Instructor Richard Eckstrom, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Instructor Hadi Hamid and Building Construction Technology Instructor Tim Newsome achieved their LEED AP credential through the U.S. Green Building Council testing program. A LEED AP has the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in the LEED design process, to support and encourage integrated LEED design and to streamline the LEED application and certification process. The exam was launched in 2001 to recognize, through accreditation, individuals’ understanding of green building practices and principles and familiarity with LEED requirements, resources and processes. This fall, TCL will launch a series of new and modified industrial technology programs that will incorporate green LEED techniques. The new green construction courses are being offered in building construction, civil engineering, computer aided design (CAD) and alternative energy construction. Many of these certificate programs can be completed in just one semester. For more information on the green building curriculum and LEED certification, call 843.525.8241 or visit www.tcl.edu/green.
Kay Keeler, St. Helena Elementary’s new principal, and school staff will welcome students, staff members, community members and volunteers back on Tuesday, August 4. The annual gathering provides an opportunity for the school and community to come together to celebrate the new school year. The venue includes a cookout and fun for kids from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Because St. Helena Elementary and its early learning center are “accelerated schools” in need of major academic improvements, their students must attend class 200 days – 20 more than the state requires. For that reason, St. Helena’s classes will begin at 8:15 on the morning of August 6. Most of Beaufort County’s public schools won’t open to students until Aug. 17. This year at St. Helena Elementary, grades two through five will be exploring through STEM units which will emphasize science, technology, engineering, and math, Keeler said. Teachers have written the units based on South Carolina academic standards. This curriculum will focus on hands-on experiences. Grade one has moved into the main school building to allow space for additional pre-kindergarten classes in the Early Learning Center – the structure with the bright yellow pencils serving as columns at the front. The scheduled open house is contingent on the construction being finished on campus. Should there be changes to the open house date, parents will be notified through the media, phone, and/or mail.
Beaufort Middle gets new entry Construction crews continue to work on a new entry to Beaufort Middle School. Even with classes set to resume in three weeks, work continues at many local schools. The race to finish is on!

Profile Fitness trainers tap Port Royal’s ‘Tower of Power’ for unique exercise by John C. Williams
The spiraling wooden observation tower at Port Royal’s Sands beach area provides a pirate’s perch for viewing the waterways – and it’s also become a Saturday morning torture tower of sorts for two YMCA trainers. Jenny Kopke and Denice Davis teach a Saturday morning “Power Class” that starts at the Wardle Family YMCA on Richmond Avenue. Class members quickly run down to the Sands beach area, where the real fun begins. “Jenny and I have customized our Saturday Morning Power class with ‘challenge’ in mind,” Davis said. “Part of that challenge is taking away the creature comforts of a gym, at the same time giving our participants a new and invigorating workout. We aim to stimulate the body in ways that are back to basics with the element of nature.” In the run from the Y to the beach, each class member carries an exercise band and some kind of weight. “We have stop points along the way where we add a fitness routine. When we get to the tower the workout really gets heated. We use every aspect of the tower as our gym. The best part about it is the scenic views as well as the water breeze that takes the mind off the hard work at hand.
dealing with the issues of older exercisers. They have worked with the Y for more than two years. Kopke also teaches at Lowcountry Health and Fitness on Lady’s Island and Davis teaches at Callawassie Island.
“Once we are done we head back with our final run and get to the Y and finish off with mat work and stretching. Our participants not only leave feeling invigorated but a high sense of accomplishment that any of there fitness goals can be attained,” Davis said.
For Kopke, working out was part of her Michigan childhood. She played softball and basketball in high school.
The “Tower of Power” workout can include lunges up the steps, shoulder presses at one landing, perhaps dumbbell curls on another section, or back exercises wherever the trainers see fit.
“I really started getting into working out after my son was born and I loved the results I was seeing and I was hooked. I would give tips to other people in the gym and being a trainer just seemed like the next logical step,” she said. “I also decided to start teaching the group exercise classes as well.”
“The class started out as a step aerobics class mixed with weight training,” Kopke said. “In order to spice it up I talked to my husband, who is a Marine, and he helped to shape it towards a ‘boot camp’ style class with outdoor events, team building exercises, and a bit of a competitive flair to keep it interesting. “I added my aerobics instruction and weights to get a complete class that appealed to a wide audience. With each week the number of attendees grew. We never do the same class twice. Every Saturday is different which keeps it interesting and fun for everyone.” Davis started attending the class shortly after the birth of her third child, Kopke said. Soon after, Davis started leading some of the teams and together they bega teaching the class after Kopke’s husband deployed.
Both women are in their 30s and they each have three young children. Both are certified fitness trainers with specialties in aqua fitness and multi-client training; additionally, Kopke is certified in nutrition and Davis in senior fitness,
The year-old class at the Sands and its Tower of Power is a popular approach to fitness, even in the summer heat. “It is a challenging experience. You are motivated to do more than you thought possible,” said class member Sam Bates. “It is excitedly different, a heartthumping core experience and never the same twice.” Kopke and Davis said it takes work to make the workouts both challenging and different. “We insist on doing something different every week,” Kopke said. “My husband and I would sit down every Friday night and brainstorm a new routine, rehearse it, and tailor it to both those attending the class as well as the time slot. “With any group class you have a wide range of fitness levels. Designing a class that all parties can enjoy and still feel challenged is the key,” she said.

Lowcountry Social Diary The new Patois by Lanier Laney
I had a delightful dinner at Patois in Habersham the other night. Patois, which is French for ‘slang,’ is the newest restaurant in Lantz Price’s growing group of successful restaurants. Lance owns Saltus and Plums and seems to have the Midas touch when it comes to opening restaurants. He’s got plans on the drawing board for a new fish restaurant at the old Lemon Island marina location. Chef Jim Spratling is doing a great job keeping the food authentically French country at Patois. It’s a tiny dining room, which makes it feel more like a private dinner party than a restaurant, so I would definitely call ahead for reservations if you plan to go. The weekday night I was there it was filled. Dining were Herb and Marjorie Grey with Dr. Vincent Rhodes and his wife Bet, Angus Trask and Tom Keaveny with Heather Winch and Andrea Jenkins, Virginia and Ben Apple, Dr. Eric Billig and Katrina Billig, Mike Rainey and Rhett Hall to name just a few. Patois is located at 21A-1 Market Street in downtown Habersham. For reservations call 379-2207.
Beaufort finally has a great D.J.! I am happy to report that Wes Theobald of Rockit Entertainment is master of the dance floor tunes at Pannini’s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (and sometimes at Kathleen’s). You can usually figure out where he is by the crowds that flock to his brand of high energy hip hop dance music. I guarantee that it’s almost impossible to stay still when Wes is pumping out the beats.
Bateaux restaurant in Port Royal closes By now you’ve probably heard that Bateaux Restaurant in Port Royal has closed, a victim of these trying financial times. Owner Scott Myers has taken an engineering job in Boston and moved his family there, I have heard. Rumor has it that the original founder of Bateaux, Richard Wilson, is planning on opening an English pub in Habersham.

News Fripp golf cart project Continued from page 1
“The final step was to paint the turtle, whose name was ‘Conroy’ to look just like a loggerhead. Caite did all the painting of the 12 by 18 foot turtle. Grandson Ted built and decorated the limbo pole,” Mrs. Brown said. “To add extra emphasis to the parade theme, a boom box was placed inside the golf cart during the parade to broadcast Chubby Checker’s song ‘The Limbo’ and the grandchildren, decked out in grass skirts, carried the limbo pole and limboed along the parade route. All their fun and work paid off resulting in their entry being named ‘Best in Show.’ “The whole family had a great time helping erect the massive turtle and it’s certainly a memory the grandchildren will never forget.” The Island News gladly contributed recycled newspapers to help make this project a reality!

News Women’s Healthcare by Randy Royal, MD
Robotic surgery makes its way to the Lowcountry by Randy Royal, M.D. Over the past several years gynecologists have begun performing surgeries using less invasive techniques. What started out as smaller incisions has grown into a quest to provide the greatest benefit to the patient with the least amount of recovery, blood loss and pain. To that end, the daVinci Robotic System has recently been purchased by Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Contrary to what you have seen in science fiction movies, our robot doesn’t think or act alone, but rather as an extension of our hands, an additional tool if you will. Traditionally speaking, hysterectomies have been performed through an incision much like that of cesarean sections, approximately eight inches across the bottom of the belly. This incision can require four to six weeks to fully recover and return to normal activities. Unfortunately, this is the method for 80-85% of hysterectomies performed in the United States. The remaining 15-20% of surgeries have been performed either vaginally or in a lapraroscopic manner. This is performed through a series of three to five small dime-sized incisions. This preferred method has recovery time measured in days, not weeks, and thus patients can get back to normal activity level sooner. These methods are not for everyone. Surgeons must have additional training with these techniques and comfort level with these procedures usually occurs after physicians have performed many of them. In addition, some more difficult cases have been avoided due to the lack of dexterity and flexibility with traditional laprascopy.

Enter the daVinci. The daVinci surgical system provides the surgeon with instruments eight millimeter in diameter that have greater flexibility and “wrist-like” motion than our own hands. With this technology we are able to perform nearly 100% of hysterectomies through small 8mm incisions. In addition, recovery time, pain post- operatively, and blood loss are all greatly minimized. My patient Suzanne W. of Beaufort, who was the first Beaufort Memorial first robotic hysterectomy patient to have her hysterectomy via the da Vinci system, had this to say about it: “I have been struggling with heavy periods for years. I had been reluctant to have a hysterectomy, based on my mother and other friends’ stories of the pain and recovery. I can honestly say I was sore, but was never in pain. I used Motrin after the surgery and was back to work as a medical office nurse in a week’s time. The recovery was nothing like I was dreading.” Together with my partners, Dr. Glenn Werner and Dr. Joann Csakany, hysterectomy will soon become an outpatient procedure. In the very near future, I think we will be able to perform a hysterectomy and have the patient home the same day, just as with a gallbladder or a tubal ligation. I really feel that this technology is the next step in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery. The company that manufactures the daVinci, Intuitive Surgical, is actively working on smaller arms and thus even smaller incision technology. They are also working on combining the technology of several instruments to minimize the number of incisions. As technology continues to forge forward, women should encourage their doctors to do the same. I would encourage all women who may require surgery in the future to ask their doctor if the surgery can be performed in a minimally invasive manner. If he or she says no, you may want to consider a second opinion as most people are candidates for this type of surgery. Dr. Randy Royal is in practice with Glenn Werner and Joann Csakany at Werner, Royal and Csakany, 524-5455. They practice comprehensive women’s care including Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pelvic Surgery. Dr. Royal specializes in minimally invasive approaches to pelvic surgery.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
Is your dog a manipulator? by Tracie Korol
People tolerate behavior in their dogs that they would never tolerate in fellow human beings. You would never allow your nephew to punch visitors in the crotch to say hello, or slobber on your girlfriend because he’s happy to see her. Dog owners make excuses like, “oh, he’s just being friendly” when the dog leaps up and rakes his nails across the neighbor’s bare legs, or “she must have done something to upset him” after the dog rips a hole the mail carrier’s sleeve. My favorite excuse for bad dog manners is “she must have been abused.” When an owner has been unsuccessful in creating clear rules and expectations for his dog and then said dog couples that with her instinctual mantra, “what’s in it for me,” the end result is some form of chaos. For instance, Miss B, a large exuberant herding cross, does not come when she is called. There’s nothing in it for her. However, she has learned that if she plays chicken in the front yard long enough, her exasperated owner will open the car door, cheer her in and then take her for a ride. There’s something in it for her…now. Miss B loves car rides. Because Miss B is a clever girl, she added door crashing to the activity. Now she gets her car ride on demand. What a manipulator! Miss M bites at her owner because it elicits a huge response, guaranteed. Biting usually does. Miss M doesn’t get enough attention in her busy household so she has learned exactly what behavior is going to get her the biggest reward. Dogs don’t differentiate positive from negative; attention is attention. In both instances, the manipulator is in charge. In both instances, there is a lack of leadership. A dog’s mental health depends on leadership. People will often mislabel this as dominance, but that is a simplification borne of watching too many dog-training TV shows. When living in social groups, canids will establish dominance hierarchies that dictate access to resources such as food, resting places, favored possessions, territory and mates. The social relationship is naturally extended to the human members of their household. These dominance behaviors often occur without aggression and instead come to be about control of the outcome. In domestic canid groupings, overt aggression is rare and deference is common. Owners often inadvertently reinforce a dominant outcome for the dog by deferring to the dog’s demands. 16
Lady’s Island News
This sets the dog up as the one in charge, and each interaction that ends with deference to the dog reinforces that behavior. Each time Miss B hops into the car and happily rides shotgun around the block, her bad manners of not coming when called are reinforced. The high point of Miss M’s day is the reward of watching her owner shrieking, waving her arms around and then chasing her under the bed. It even sounds like it would be great dog fun. Other behavior occurs because it can. In other words, the owners do not prevent the dog from engaging in a certain behavior and that in itself can be reinforcing. For instance, kitchen counter-cruisers (usually the tall guys) will occasionally score a huge reward that only encourages them to keep cruising. How many times have you heard the story of the rump roast taken out to thaw that was sucked down in seconds by the family Lab? It happened at my house. Once. The solution to curbing a manipulator’s creativity and enthusiasm is a three-step process. First, your dog gets a new mantra— “nothing in life is free.” The goal is for the dog to “earn” everything he desires by deferring to the owner. Deference is accomplished when the dog follows the command to do whatever -- sit, down, come, get the ball. The catch is that he has to do what you ask when you ask it, not before and not 20 minutes later. Then he learns that you have opposable thumbs and are in control of his environment. Any attention he receives is at your grace. You give him attention on your initiative; you only give attention and reward his fine behavior when he is calm and quiet. And finally, he learns that you are center of his universe. You call the shots. He learns to focus on you and wait for instruction. BowWOW! is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog.
