Rail trail: A once in a lifetime opportunity By Jim Hicks, LIBPA
Northern Beaufort County is presently attempting to capitalize on an opportunity to develop a multi-purpose recreational trail that could attract tourist from throughout the United States. This opportunity came about as a result of Beaufort and Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) deciding in 2009 that the 26 mile Port Royal to Yemassee abandoned rail bed posed a “once in a lifetime” opportunity to establish a utility corridor. To the credit of BJWSA, they invested the necessary time and money to have the federal authorities place the railbed into the federal rail bank, so they could then purchase the railbed. Once the railbed was the property of BJWSA, they offered use of the surface
part of the railbed to the county in return for the county to assume responsibility for landscaping maintenance. In 2011, the county searched, with some success,for ways to fund incremental construction of a multipurpose trail and BJWSA began removal of the rails. Today, BJWSA is almost finished removing the rails to include the removal of the unsafe trestles over some of the waterways. A basic design for the trail has been agreed upon by Beaufort County and the City of Beaufort. A technical oversight committee (approval team) consisting of engineering and technical representatives from Beaufort County, City of Beaufort, Town of Port Royal, the Path Foundation and Friends of Spanish Moss Rail Trail has been formed and is in operation.
Certainly there are still unanswered questions regarding the long range development of the railbed. For example, some question has arisen as to the most appropriate name (Spanish Moss or Magnolia Line) for the trail. But one thing is certain, based on the number of problems overcome to date, each of the governmental and private entities involved in this project is capable of working together. As a result of this cooperation and support, barring unforeseen problems, northern Beaufort County will have a multipurpose trail from Allison Road to Depot Road by Christmas and, hopefully construction scheduled for a trail from Laurel Bay Road to Claredon Road. What a marvelous Christmas gift to the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Congrats and thanks to Weston Newton
I would like to express congratulations and appreciation to Weston Newton on his election to the S.C. House of Representatives. He has served Beaufort County for the past 12 years as Chairman of County Council. As a former member of County Council, I laud Weston for his leadership of the many competing issues in Beaufort County. I happened recently to watch the County Public Service TV channel and saw the documentary on “The Beaufort County Rural and Critical Lands Program.” When I served on council, we passed the legislation for this program. In the ensuing 12 years, Weston has guided the county in such a way that this program is outstanding in accomplishment. His leadership in many other areas, such as financial stewardship and accountability, has been laudatory. It takes a team of elected and appointed officials as well as excellent staff to be successful. Weston Newton has provided thoughtful leadership. We will miss him greatly on the
council level, but he now goes to the state level with a solid background in what challenges the local governments face. He will carry forth his experience and leadership to the Statehouse for which we will continue to be indebted to him and to his family for their sacrifices to the public good. Elizabeth P. Grace Beaufort
Local efforts help pass human trafficking bill
On June 18, Governor Nikki Haley signed a new law to address human trafficking, a lucrative, secretive and brutal criminal enterprise that occurs throughout the world, including the United States. Her signature culminated months of hard work to bring South Carolina out of what a national organization had termed “the dirty dozen,” states without adequate laws to address exploitative labor practices and forced prostitution. For the first time, our legislature has clearly defined the crime of human trafficking and has convened a task force to implement a comprehensive strategy for combating it. Among the many
changes to state law, the courts can now seize assets from people convicted of human trafficking and the offender can be required to pay restitution to his or her victims. An extra 15 years of prison time can be tacked on if the victim of the crime is under 18-years-old. Many of the lobbying efforts for this important piece of legislation occurred at a grassroots level. Members of the Lowcountry Coalition Against Human Trafficking and citizens across the state lobbied the legislature in-person and from afar. We would like to especially thank state Sen. Tom Davis, state Rep. Shannon Erickson and state Rep. Andy Patrick for co-sponsoring the bill and for guiding it to passage. We are also grateful to Solicitor Duffie Stone for his public support of the bill and for working tirelessly for its approval. This law empowers investigators, prosecutors and the court system to root out and address human trafficking, but it will be up to all of us to learn the signs of this horrendous crime, to report it to the proper authorities and to help the victims rebuild their lives. Janice Dyer President, Lowcountry Coalition of Human Trafficking
LOWCOUNTRY BROIL National Cemetery should look its best
One of the most beautiful and hallowed grounds anywhere is right here in the City of Beaufort, The Beaufort National Cemetery. It is well maintained by the VA. The new section and recent re-pointing of the brick are wonderful additions. But PLEASE, the beautiful entrance is still marred by at least two old fiberglass portable 20 x 20’ canopies once used over new grave sites probably 20 years ago before a handsome permanent facility was constructed a few years ago. Also visible are the heavy machinery used daily. All of these (and once a tall stack of black plastic “vaults”) are very visible, towering over the handsome brick wall. And all right up front for an unwelcome first impression greeting.

will have to have a name. I have to agree with Tommy Logan on the fact that this railroad line has a very appropriate historical name, so why the fuss? Brings to mind other namings that really did not need to take place. Most recently, it was decided that the University of South Carolina Beaufort needed naming. Well, the fact of the matter is that they adopted the Pirates back in the 70’s, and I still have some memorabilia to attest to this. And another that comes to mind was the official renaming of the Jericho boat landing several years ago to Marine Corps Landing. I love the Corps as much as anyone, but Jericho is a very historical name and applies to that whole geographic area. My personal feelings are that these were unneeded, unwanted, personal agendas. Surely we could direct our efforts to more important issues.

My Fourth of July ‘obligation vacation’ By Kimberly Steinbruck
My husband and I just returned from what we call an “obligation vacation.” These are the vacations you have to take, not the ones you want to take. For us, it means dragging ourselves up to Connecticut for the semi-annual family visit. Very few people seem to understand that an obligation vacation is not a vacation at all. Co-workers ask why I put quotes around the word “vacation” in my out-of-office message. I do it because it’s not a REAL vacation. It’s not about fun and relaxation (as vacations should be). It’s just something ya gotta do a few times a year. Kind co-workers and friends say things like “Have fun!” “Get some rest, you deserve it!” Well, neither of those things will happen, but we do appreciate the well wishes. For those who say, “A vacation — I’m jealous.” I say, “Don’t be.” The sad truth of it is this: These trips kinda suck. I know, I know, that sounds harsh and you think I’m exaggerating. Really, I’m not. Let me break this particular trip down for you. Here are some of the highlights: • Fighting through huge crowds
Kimberly Steinbruck
My husband and I just returned from what we call an ‘obligation vacation.’ These are the vacations you have to take, not the ones you want to take ... I guess when you come right down to it, it’s about control. On a trip like this, you just don’t have any.
in the airport — and hating those people for looking all happy since they are going on real vacations. • Six nights in six different beds, each day waking up wondering where the heck I am. • Packing, unpacking and re-packing each day — now where did I put my clean underwear and, more importantly, my phone charger? • Up early every morning to start that day’s visits, and bitter that there is no time to sleep in. • Fielding the various schedule questions: “When will you be here?” When I get there. “But, what time?” I don’t know. I came up here to see you. Are you leaving town or something? • Spending several hours each day visiting with relatives and running out of conversation in the first 10 minutes. (Quick, think of something before Dad
hands you a stack of political articles and email jokes to read! On the upside, he doesn’t read them to us anymore.) • Having to explain all travel decisions — not sure why people care so much, but it goes something like this ... o “Why did you fly into Boston?” Because flights are direct and cheaper. “You can fly into Hartford for the same amount.” OK, whatever you say, I’m sure Travelocity was broken the many times I searched for flights. This same line of questioning continues until we finally admit the truth: “OK, fine, you got us — we wanted a date night in Boston to decompress at the end of this trip. Yes, we tried to sneak in one night of actual fun. Shame on us.” o “Why did you get a Ford Crown Vic for your rental car? It looks like a cop car.” Well, it just happens to be what they gave us, but I like it because it has a huge trunk which will accommodate
the bodies of everyone who asks me too many annoying questions. • Attempting to eat healthy, yet finding it impossible. I have protein bars in my bag, but OK, if you insist, we’ll smile and eat the Dunkin Donuts muffins you bought just for us. [Note to wellmeaning relatives — the word “bran” when it appears on a Dunkin Donuts menu does NOT mean it’s healthy, but we appreciate the effort.] • Emergency calls to my sister when all the liquor stores are closed: “Hey, it’s me. I’m at Mom and Dad’s house. This is an emergency! Do you have any red wine at your house? Really? You do? Great! No, type and brand do not matter. Any kind will do. Just hurry over with it.” I guess when you come right down to it, it’s about control. On a trip like this, you just don’t have any. You spend a lot of money and burn much-needed vacation time, but it’s not about you. It’s about them. It’s the price you pay for moving away and living in paradise. So, to those who say, “Welcome back, hope you had a great time,” I’ll just say, “Thank you, we did, but we are ever so happy to be back home where we belong and, quite frankly, even happier that we don’t have to take another obligation vacation for at least another six months.”
The girl with a very strange name from a very small town By Cherimie Crane Weatherford
During my time as a contributor for The Island News I have poked fun at many people in my life — my husband, my best friend, Momma and Daddy, my Mammaw and even some poor princess of pretention at my favorite coffee shop. I have shared their strengths and challenges with the world all the while hiding behind the mask of my keyboard. Throughout my entertaining exposés, I have given tiny glances of the oddity that is me. Now with tremendous trepidation, I turn the power of my pen, poking it directly at myself. The unavoidable birth of Backwoods Barbie has magnified many of my insecurities, emphasized my obscurities and without a doubt painted an unusual, yet honest, picture of a girl with a very strange name from a very small town. Against my better judgment and with my best merlot, I shall pull back the curtain and dance on the public stage of print. After all, how can I continue to laugh at and with those in my life while hiding the strangest of characters? It is true, I am a bit backwoods. This fact is something I spent the majority of my life trying to creatively conceal. My loving parents weren’t much of the doting type. I wasn’t told daily that I was special yet told with great conviction that I was a slightly different. Not necessarily different as in Mother Theresa or Dolly Pardon, more along the different lines of Ellie Mae Clamped. This was a major theme in my life that came to full fruition once my journey to public school began. Having lived a good 30 minutes from what most inaccurately consider civilization, once catapulted into a classroom full of non-tree climbing, non-cow chasing, and nonbarefoot best-behaved children, the label given by my loving parents became blindingly evident. I was in fact, different. Fortunately my ability to accurately imitate the behaviors of others kept me from the state juvenile facility and fairly soon I was able to successfully blend in for a maximum of the eight hour school day.
While my sister and cousins were known for their beauty, I was told by most that I had a pleasing disposition that obviously complimented my blessing of coke bottle glasses mixed with a mouth full of metal and hair that could comfortably house farm animals. I suppose I should have Cherimie paid attention to the annual gift Crane Weatherford of the book “The Ugly Duckling.” Thankfully, my parents were able to convince me that although Miss USA may not be in my future, Miss President just might. To add to the irony of constant shock of my childhood twists and turns, I managed to land a coveted spot on the cheerleading squad. Most of the town, most of the school, and surely all of my family was quite taken aback. I wasn’t known for my coordination and definitely not my charm. My fellow cheerleaders were portraits of perfection and I resembled R2D2 in a skirt. Again, my ability to imitate that which is considered normal guaranteed my survival in this glowing, gleeful group. My entire school career was a game of strategy — do what others do, never follow my instincts, and for the love of gravy keep my shoes on at least until 3:30 p.m. Basically, I learned that being me was a hazard to any goal I wished to achieve. This behavior continued on into college where the world seemed to be more complicated, demanded more unusual behavior, and at times was incredibly lonely. There weren’t very many kindred spirits readily available for afternoon fishing, playing in fresh Mississippi mud, or climbing campus trees. It was impressed upon me to learn the world of fraternity parties, the survival of sorority encounters, and the necessary art of acceptable fashion. I had so many parttime jobs that I couldn’t attempt a sorority. Knowing all the football players gained acceptance at fraternity
parties. And as luck should have it, my roommate was a fashion goddess. Once again, my ability to hesitantly conform guaranteed my survival in a pre-packaged world. Upon release of the interesting captivity known as graduation, I chose to travel the world. Having had enough of forced normalcy, I ran as fast as two tired legs could take me, as far as a passport could get me. It wasn’t that I didn’t love every second of college, I did, but my crumpled wings and flat feet needed room to roam. And roam I most certainly did. Right by myself, I saw country after country owning nothing more than a travel book, a toothbrush and a resurging independence. Contacts replaced my spectacle of spectacles, the metal finally came off and so did the suffocating pressure of being anything other than a girl with a very strange name from a very small town. Of course, there are thousands of stories within my story, some best left untold and some being told weekly. Luckily, the strange and winding road of my life is better than anything even I could possibly make up. Somehow that road landed me in Beaufort, South Carolina, at a point in my life where I am perfectly comfortable in my freckled, sun-damaged skin with an opportunity to write with a voice I spent most of my life silencing. I am still an odd creature and often run for the door in socially reserved settings. I dance any chance I get, sometimes to music and sometimes for no apparent reason whatsoever. I have been known to talk a little too much, enjoy wine a little too much, and often combining the two to create less than proud moments during less than appropriate times. I still find more in common with animals and women of the wild rather than the well-behaved masses. There are times when my ability to abide by social norms still is required and I do so dutifully knowing that it is temporary and soon I can go back to being the girl with a very strange name from a very small town.

“A Cat In Paris” from The World Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts Monday, July 16 at 2 p.m. and Wednesday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. Synopsis: Dino is a pet cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little mute girl whose mother, Jeanne, and is a detective in the Parisian police force. But at night he sneaks out the window to work with Nico — a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion — as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 6.9; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 82/Audience: 72. Good marks. Critics: The New York Times: “... moviewatching pleasure ... satisfying as well as charming.” Previewer Comments: This animated film in French with English subtitles is a fun film for all ages. In this day of computerized animation, this hand drawn film reeks of charm and delightful fancy. The story line provides the basis for the action, but it is the artful drawing/ animation of the character’s actions that makes it a worthwhile delight. Rated: PG for mild violence and action in comedic settings, suitable for whole families and adults. “Peace,Love and Misunderstanding” from The Indie Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Wednesday, July 18 at 2 p.m. and M o n d a y, July 30 at 6:30 p.m. Synopsis: A limited re l e a s e c o m e d y about an uptight New York City lawyer who takes her two spirited teenagers to
her hippie mother’s farmhouse in the countryside for a family vacation. What was meant to be a getaway quickly turns into a summer adventure of romance, music, family secrets and self discovery. Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating site, IMDb: 5.1; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 29/Audience: 49; less than average marks. Critics: New York Post: “A crowd-pleasing comedy.” Previewer Comments: This limited release film with some very fine actors using an old story line is an adult comedy, which is certainly good for an evening’s diversion. Rated: R. “Hysteria” from the Indie Film Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts On Wednesday, July 18 at 6:30 p.m. and Monday, July 23 at 6:30 p.m. Synopsis: “Hysteria” is a romantic comedy with an accomplished cast that tells an untold tale of discovery — the surprising story of the birth of the electromechanical vibrator at the very peak of Victorian prudishness. Ratings & Reviews: Internet site IMDb 6.7, Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 57/Audiences: 61. OK marks. Critics: Detroit News “... far more wholesome than salacious.” Previewer Comments: This Indie film set in London is a harmless comedy about serious Victorian era doctors who set out to cure a common female malady for the benefit of medical science and created instead the forerunner to the world’s most popular selling sex toy. Behind the comedy, on a more serious note, it does remind all that a females’ “needs” are not as readily satisfied as the males’, even if the doctors of that age did not originally fully understand that reality and what they were “accomplishing.” Rated: R for sexual topic content, but largely harmless in its comedic visual presentation. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

WHHI-TV introduces The Beaufort News Watch your local news on Hargray Cable Channel 8
After much anticipation, WHHITV is bringing residents of Beaufort something they’ve missed for quite some time: their own newscast. The Beaufort News premiers Thursday, July 12 at 7 p.m. on Channel 8 on Hargray Cable. WHHI-TV is partnering with The Island News, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and Lowcountry Weekly to bring a newscast that will air at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily following The Hilton Head News and The Bluffton News at 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively. WHHI-TV, on the air on Hilton Head Island since 1992, recently expanded coverage to Beaufort. On March 1, Hargray moved the station from Channel 200 to Channel 8 on the tier people in the industry call, “Broadcast Row.” Overnight, Hargray customers who’d never been exposed to the station, also seen on Hilton Head on Time Warner Channel 3, were pleasantly surprised when they turned on the tube and saw local faces, local

news and local businesses. Shortly after the channel move, Hargray announced it would purchase Charter Cable, propelling WHHI-TV into even more households across the Lowcountry. At this point, WHHITV saw opportunity and quickly realized it needed to offer appropriate programming to all of the station’s viewership, including Beaufort. Jessa Jeremiah will anchor the news and deliver weekly headlines. Buck Boone, General Manager of The Island News will provide a “Hot off the Press” report. Blakely Williams, President of the Beaufort Regional
Blakely Williams
Chamber of Commerce, will produce a business report; and Mark Shaffer, Features Editor for Lowcountry Weekly, will talk about the arts and entertainment calendar around Beaufort. The Beaufort News will also host two members of the community per week who are making significant news in the Beaufort area. Wayne Morris, WHHI-TV’s General Manager, reiterated the station’s commitment to the Lowcountry, saying, “It’s been our goal since we purchased the station in 2006 to build a bridge between the station and the community; and we’ve done that through quality
Wherever you go, there YOU are By Martha O’Regan
That’s right: You can never get away from you, no matter how hard you try. And, to face more truth, you are responsible for you. There is no one else out there who knows you or can take care of you better than you. Not your spouse, doctor, parent, partner, child, sibling, no one. You are your greatest ally as well as your worst enemy. Only you can get you in trouble and only you can get you out. It is you who makes choices — both good and bad. So, you may as well just sit down and introduce yourself to you and decide it’s time to be friends and begin working together for your higher good. Simple, just not easy at first. Admittedly, it was a bit of a bummer when I became aware that I was a steward of this vessel that I inhabit each day. No more excuses, no more waiting for the miraculous alternative to exercising or cheeseburgers, no more, “if only this, that or the other thing would occur, then I will be happy” statements. I had to dig in there and “re-connect” with all of me. “Mind, meet body. Body, meet spirit. Spirit meet mind.” Now that the introductions were complete, we had to figure out our new arrangement. No longer could mind override spirit in getting my body in gear or choosing a healthy alternative to that cheeseburger. Now that we had recognized our relationship, body became more in tune to mind’s ramblings to ignore spirit. As an example, mind says, “Oh, just turn off that alarm clock and skip the workout. Who will know anyway?” Uh hum, spirit will, then mind will have to hear about it all day, eventually fatiguing the body from carrying the guilt all day. So not worth it — better to just listen to spirit and get up! Ultimately, body and mind feel better, and spirit is happy — it’s all good. However, I must say, this goes on

regularly within me, but as long as I know spirit has my highest good in mind, I try to listen to it rather than my mind. What about you? Do you know all of you? Give it a try, have some fun with it. Give each entity a name and establish a working dialogue amongst them — I have found that all three prefer kindness and ease more than annoyance and sarcasm. As I nurtured this relationship within myself, I also became aware that this is my life, no one else’s. Not in a selfish “it’s all about me” energy, but an “oh my gosh, this is my life, what am I going to do with it?” energy. What are my hopes, dreams and desires and how am I going to achieve them and who will be a part of it, and, and, and? Being a steward of my vessel and getting to know all of me was no longer a bummer but rather a gift. I decided that taking time for me, doing what I love to do, being with who I love to be with and doing it authentically with kindness and ease was far better than where I was before my “ah ha” moment. There is still the daily debate amongst the three of us — body, mind and spirit — but now it’s with delightful banter. I invite you to get to know all of you and enjoy the rest of your ride here on planet earth since it’s where you are and you have to take you wherever you go anyway. In Joy ... Enjoy! Live Well ... Have Fun!

Nationwide labor birth doula training workshop to be held in Beaufort
The Organization of Labor Assistants for Birth Options & Resources, toLabor, is pleased to announce an upcoming Beaufort Birth Doula Training Workshop. Birth doulas, also known as labor assistants, are people who support women and their family through labor and birth. As more people become aware of the benefits of doulas and the Cesarean rate continues to sky rocket, the demand for professionals trained in labor support has gone up and doula profession is rapidly growing. Research has shown that hiring a birth doula is one of the best precautions against medically unnecessary cesareans sections and other interventions in childbirth, and can even shorten labor. ToLabor is a national educational organization providing information on evidence-based practices and safe options and choices for childbirth. The training workshop will be held in Beaufort and will take place November 30 to December 2. Registration is now open. The workshop will be taught by Therese Hak-Kuhn, Executive Director of toLabor from Richmond, Va. The training is relevant not only to people who want a career as a doula, but also for other professionals such as nurses, childbirth educators, massage therapists and other bodyworkers, and anyone with an interest in birth. It is relevant for women who want to be informed about choices in childbirth regardless of background or experience. All inquiries can be directed to the workshop sponsor, Ifetayo White of CHOICES Birthing and Wellness Support, at 843-271-1923 or neesamoon@gmail.com or tolabor@gmail.com, or www.tolabor.com. the island news | july 12-18, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

57th water festival
Beaufort prepares for annual events
S
ince the first festival was held in July 1956, Beaufort has been perfecting ways to have fun and stay cool during the hot summer days and nights. This year’s Water Festival stays true to tradition with family friendly programs, lots of live music, competitive sporting tournaments, as well as a slew of water and air events. Commodore John Gentry said he is in awe of the more than 400 volunteers who work hard to put the festival together, and he’s also impressed by all the sponsors who stepped it up to ensure 2012 is another awesome year for everyone who comes to enjoy and experience all the Water Festival has to offer.

Brown twins exemplify festival’s dedicated volunteer base By Tess Malijenovsky
“We drank the Kool-aid and we liked it,” says Elizabeth Brown. This is Water Festival lingo for being roped into the Water Festival volunteer staff and liking it. She and her twin brother, Van, are going on nine years of volunteering and have accumulated some Water Festival expertise. When Elizabeth and Van were just 16 years old, their father asked if they would like to volunteer for the festival while they were still in school. “We were ‘voluntold’ to show up,” as Van recalls. “He [Van’s father] says, ‘Oh, by the way, tomorrow at 5 o’clock you better get up and shower so that you can be on stage at 6:30 a.m.’ That was the end of that discussion, and as they say, the rest is history.” Having some background in theater, the pair began volunteering for production, setting up the concert stages and handling the spotlights. This year, however, they’ve both become directors. Van is a director of production and Elizabeth is a director of sports events. While everyone on the Water Festival staff is a volunteer, the job has its perks.

Elizabeth and Van Brown are seen in Waterfront Park before Water Festival.
They get free T-shirts, hats and access to the events. Van has been able to meet a lot of the famous performers who have played over the years, including Josh Turner. The animated duo can tell all about the turnouts at the varying sports tournaments as well as the bands that are a must-see this year. “The Concert in the Park is the show that everyone talks about. Within the festival we all have the nights that we
the island news | july 12-18, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com
love. My personal favorite is Motown Monday,” said Van. According to him, the Motown group Deas-Guyz “blew it up last year.” “My favorite night is Thursday, the Lowcountry Supper,” says Elizabeth. The Marine Corps and Rotary Club and other volunteers help prepare the shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes — also known as Beaufort’s famous Frogmore Stew — for hundreds of hungry festivalgoers.
While the supper is being served, the band The Broke Locals will perform live, followed by a mysterious band The Whistlers at 7:15 p.m. “The Whistlers, no, we’re not telling you about The Whistlers. Here’s my advice: Show up. You have to see them,” said Elizabeth. The two have been around since the River Dance was the Street Dance on Bay Street, and they can tip any tourist about the “Redneck Yacht Club” (a.k.a. The Sandbar). “Originally,” Van informs, “[Water Festival] was just a celebration of the Beaufort area. We celebrated out on the old pier and it was just a couple of concerts on a built stage to bless the fleet, commemorating the shrimp trawlers and wishing them safety on the waters. But now, for the community and for lack of better words, this is the biggest party of the summer. Come out, show your support and have a really good time.” Like so many others, Van and Elizabeth’s love for Water Festival is irrefutable, and that is to say so is their love for their hometown of Beaufort, South Carolina.
57th water festival
fashion splash make a
for water fest
T
By Laura Trask
here are many wonderful and celebrated annual events across the globe, but when the air of the Lowcountry gets thick with humidity and the thermometer reaches its breaking point, we here in Beaufort start to prepare ourselves for Water Festival. And like every great event there is considerable planning involved, but most importantly to our fashionably parched readers is what are we going to wear!? I have compiled a list of the five hottest trends this year, and let’s face it, in Beaufort we know something about hot!
1. The surfer girl look
After the hit book/movie “Soul Surfer,” who would not be inspired to traipse around in a bikini bottom and surf shirt? The look is cool, young and requires confidence because these young women literally LIVE in their bikini bottoms. But there is a smart girl component here: The surf shirt keeps you safe from all those unwanted UV rays and future wrinkles and allows for freedom to move about without fear of revealing parts of yourself you might prefer to keep hidden.
2. The summer bangle
When looking for a way to glam up your hot, hot, hot summer bathing suit /beachwear look, why not add a great, eye-catching bangle to your list of summer staples? This season’s bangles are as 80’s as it gets — lots of hello-lemon yellow and other bright colors that have not only popped up on accessories as of late, but were on every pair of jeans this past spring.
3. Romantic Ruffles
You may be wondering how ruffles and sleek, cool summer staples might go together. Well, ruffles are ruling the runway and the bathing suits are not missing out on the fun! Ruffles are shown on one pieces, two pieces and every shape in between. The ruffled one-shoulder tops was where I thought it looked the chicest, kinda made me wonder where that waiter in the white jacket was hiding with the tray of champagne flutes — think Capri!
4. Color Alert
We have discussed the retro neon color invasion, well, at the other end of that spectrum is my favorite color trend for summer — cool, shimmering metallics. They work perfectly with a splash of an animal print, whites and chocolate browns. This is an easy way to make a sophisticated fashion statement without having to put too much thought into putting an outfit together, because everything looks good when paired with metallics, especially a fabulous tan!
5. The Tunic a.k.a. The Cover up
The Number 1 fashion trend for a successful Water Festival is having something to cover it all up! This ancient design (originally created as undergarments for the toga) has stood the test of time and has evolved into a lightweight, versatile wardrobe staple which can take you from the beach to dinner! So fellow Water Festival attendees, make sure that when that last bite of fried chicken has passed your sunburned lips you have your best summer friend/trend ready to cover it all up! Above left: This animal print tunic covers up while still turning heads. Above right: This look pairs the one-shoulder trend and metallics.
Look hot, even in the heat of summer By Takiya Smith
With temperatures soaring and the humidity climbing, the last thing we girls need to be concerned with is our looks. Here are a few tips, recommendations and tricks of the trade to help keep your summer look cooler than ever and keep you looking hot in the heat. For no-sweat eyes that won’t streak or run try the new liner design, long wear calligraphy gel eyeliner from Lancome. The liner, which comes with a double ended brush to precisely line and softly smudge, has a consistency which locks and sets to hold all day long. To add to your maximum, no fuss coverage, coat lashes with a few swipes of express mega plush gel mousse mascara by Maybelline which comes in both washable and waterproof coverage, perfect for working out or swimming. Mega Plush also offers a gel-mousse that has less hard waxes, offering a supple and brittle-free touch to lashes. For active girls on the go, such as swimmers and runners, with little to no time for makeup, semipermanent eyelash extensions offer lash length enhancement and a mascara look, free off any makeup or chemicals. This option is also great for women with allergenic reactions to eye makeup. To keep brows full and fresh, skip traditional pencils and opt for brow powders instead. Pencils,

generally consisting of wax, can tend to melt and run due to humidity and perspiration, however, brow powders not only set in place but are great as they look more natural and will absorb humidity rather than streak and run. Mineral powders, such as Bare Essenctuals, can be worn alone or over a liquid foundation to keep skin looking and feeling cool and fresh, as well as leave skin with a matte, dry look rather than a glossy shine. To enhance the longevity and set mineral foundation powders, try a spritz of toner or hydrating spray such as Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Moisture Mist, which can be used daily. For swimmers, keep hair hydrated and chemical free by soaking with tap or bottled water prior to swimming in chlorine filled pools. The previously applied water will enter the cuticle of the hair, causing it to swell, leaving no room for chlorinated water to enter. This, in addition to proper conditioning, will keep hair looking and feeling great.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
COMMODORE JOHN GENTRY LEADS THE TEAM By Lanier Laney
John met his beloved wife, Jan, in the Army in Alabama 35 years ago. They were both serving: he as a Military Policeman, she as a chaplain’s assistant. Surprisingly, Jan’s parents had met while both in the Army, and John’s parents had also met while both in the Marine Corp. Currently their daughter Major Megan Gentry is in the Air Force in Alexandria, Va., and son John Kyle Gentry just finished two tours in Iraq. He will be returning home for this year’s Water Festival to join his family, including sister Erin Vaux who is an assistant solicitor for the 14th Judicial Circuit. I guess you could say the Gentry family has been very involved with three things: the military, the Beaufort school system, and the Water Festival. This year, John Gentry was selected to be commodore of the festival and Jan is First Lady. John moved to Beaufort for
the first time when he was age 11 with his Marine Dad and Mom from Atlanta. He loved playing football for Beaufort High School so much that it became his dream to come back and coach the same team he had been on. After serving in the Army, John went to college in Alabama to get a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Masters degree in Physical Education. Then he returned to Beaufort in 1981 where he became the football coach and a teacher at Beaufort High School. Now, after 31 “very rewarding years,” he retired from that post in July. Jan was also involved in the Beaufort County School District, working as a secretary at Mossy Oaks Elementary for 26 years. During that time they both became involved with the Water Festival. John first was a volunteer and helper and then served as Director of Sports, followed by Water and
Jan and John Gentry.
Air Coordinator, which he felt lucky to do twice. The water and air components of the festival now include the Coast Guard Cutter tours, the ski show, the shrimp boat tours, sailing regatta, parade of boats, Blessing of the Fleet, and the goose bump-inducing Marine F-18 squadron flyover which is the crowning moment at the
end of the Water Festival on Sunday, July 22, at 3 p.m. So after 19 years of being involved with the Water Festival, John became commodore this year. He said, “The majority of my life has been spent on a team of one sort or another, or coaching one. The most enjoyable teams have been the ones made up of volunteers
I’ve worked with each year at the Water Festival. It’s a team that’s not about winning and losing, but about taking care of everybody and being unselfish about all the time and effort they put into it. It’s truly been an honor to be a part of.” John’s whole family joins in on that sentiment, having all been very involved with the Water Festival team over the years. Megan and Erin were both Pirettes and son Kyle was a director. And Jan deserves a great amount of credit, says John, “being by my side helping along every step of the way.” The Beaufort Water Festival marks a time when many families come back together and share in some of the happiest moments of their childhood and celebrate the past and talk about their hopes for the future. This 57th year is no exception, and all the hard work put in by John and the volunteers on his great “team” will reveal another memorable and exciting festival.

Key lime pies are usually made with the small Key limes, but these are often hard to find. Using regular limes still produces great results. INGREDIENTS Crust • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 crackers)* • 1/4 cup sugar • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted Filling • 6 extra-large egg yolks, room temperature • 1/4 cup sugar • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk • 2 tablespoons grated lime zest • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4-5 limes)

DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and bottom are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool completely. For the filling, beat the egg yolks and

sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick. With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze. For the decoration, beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe onto the pie and decorate with the lime wedges. Freeze for several hours or overnight. This pie lasts for months in the freezer! *Short on time? Go ahead and buy a premade crust, we won’t tell! This recipe was adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style.

57th water festival
Annual Happy Wino Water Fest survival kit By Terry Sweeney
Greetings fellow Happy Winos! As a way of saying thank you for your loyalty and devotion to my column, I thought I would give y’all my annual “Happy Wino Water Festival Survival Kit.” To that end, I am providing you once again with my hangover cures and my easy to remember “Wine Bottle Warning Guide” that could save your life, or at least enable you to remember all the fun you had at this year’s Water Festival. So when people say to you, “I can’t believe you did that in front of everybody at the Sandbar!”, you don’t have to look at them blankly and ask, terrified, “I-I was at the Sandbar?!” Every year I swear that never again will I be on that Sandbar three sails to the wind! But then the party gets started and I think, “Oh just one more can’t hurt.” And boy, am I wrong! Before I know it, the wrath of grapes is upon me! I am personally ready to put on sneakers, shorts and a tank top, plaster a number on my chest and start a nationwide “Run for the Hangover Cure” — well, that is as soon as I can take this ice pack off my head and my hands stop shaking. Maybe instead I should start up a “Tiptoe Quietly For the Cure Wearing Very Dark Sunglasses.” A friend of mine who is also a Happy Wino sometimes calls me the morning after we have been out Water Festival partying and all she will say is “Cheeseburger, fries, LT’s, one hour.”
Click. That’s all she has to say and I am there, because no greasy burger nor oil-dripping freshly French fried potato has ever tasted better than the one you eat Terry when you’ve got the Sweeney big H. “Why is that?” you ask. I don’t know. Apparently, Science thinks the study of how greasy junk food affects the boozesoaked brain is beneath them. Another pricey Mars Probe, that’s what we really need. The last one so improved our quality of life. Thanks, Science. (Of course if they find out Martians don’t get hangovers no matter how many Martiantinis they drink, well then it’s money well spent and I will personally apologize to Science). But in the meantime: HELP! By the way, before I forget, it is imperative that you wash down that grease fest with a carbonated cola in the biggest cup you can find, filled to the brim with ice. But, let’s face it. This trip to Dr. Greaseburger may be my (and several friends’) way of surviving the hellacious wrath of the grape, but everyone has their own. Of course, the worst one I ever heard came from a dour cousin of mine whom, when asked about her favorite hangover preventative, responded “Don’t drink!” It was then I remembered my mother always
referred to her as “your crazy cousin.” However, on the other end of the scale, I have a Happy Wino buddy who swears the only way he can get over his hangover is to have a beer for breakfast as soon as he wakes up. Sounds all right, except then he continues to snack on beers all morning and ends up having beer for lunch. “Hair of the dog,” he’ll drunkenly inform me if I run into him.“Of course” I say, then quietly mumble under my breath, “I think that dog had puppies.” Nevertheless, he is right about one thing: Beer with hops (a natural sedative) as its main ingredient is the favorite daytime, “day after” drink of many vintners. When I was in Napa, the sight of a beer mug in the hand of any well-known winemaker was a sure sign he’d stomped down too many grapes the night before. So maybe a cold beer with lunch might just be what the doctor ordered. Speaking of doctors, one of my Happy Wino friend’s wife is one. What does his medical mate recommend for a hangover? “Oh she usually hooks us up to waterdrip IVs the next morning ‘till we’re rehydrated.”“Oh that’s a good one,” I chuckle, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” Tee Hee. One look at his somber, puzzled expression tells me, “Oh my Lord, he’s serious.” I make a mental note not to ask my undertaker friend what he and his wife do the day after (“We sleep in the empty coffins in the walk in freezer!”)
Still, I do understand where these hung and hurtin’ folks are coming from. Who among us has not prayed for relief from the “Morning After Monster” and pleabargained with the Grape Gods to spare us further agony. “Never again!” we cry. “One glass with dinner from now on,” we swear. Yeah right. Sooner or later, of course, forgetting all of our heartfelt promises and melodramatic repentance, we’re back whooping it up with the best of ‘em. I’ve even gone so far as to make false claims that the reason I got so sick last time was due to a “tainted cork” or my other old standby: “That last bottle must have turned. I oughta sue!” Still, of all the cures I’ve heard, my favorite was that of a friend who described opening a can of Diet Pepsi at 6 p.m. on the night he’s going out, dropping two aspirin in it and letting it sit on his bedside table so he can chug it down before he goes to sleep. “Does that really work?” I asked, impressed. “I don’t know,” he shrugged. “I always pass out and forget to drink it.” Here is my Wine Bottle Warning Guide: Cut it out and tape it to your fridge: One is fun. Two, I can do. Three, look out for me! Four, I’m on the floor. Five, thank God I’m alive! Six, I’m pickin’ up tricks. Seven, I’m probably in Heaven.

By Will McCullough
As someone who supports his family solely via the selling of property in the Beaufort area, I’ve had to step out of my comfort zone this time in order to focus on a local piece of real estate that, while exceptionally beautiful and offering a location that puts most others to shame, is not available for purchase. This oneof-a-kind deepwater parcel offers a sandy beach and breathtaking 360 degree views of the waterways surrounding downtown Beaufort, Lady’s Island, Port Royal and Parris Island. Under normal circumstances, one would expect only a few to be able to afford unrestricted access to such an incredible property. But, here in the Lowcountry, we can all come and go as we please. Well, as long as you have a boat. Or, maybe better yet, a friend with a boat. Oh, it also needs to be around low tide. By now, most local readers already knew the parcel of real estate I was referring to, but, for those of you visiting the area for the Water Festival, please allow me to introduce you to the Beaufort Sandbar. The Beaufort Sandbar is an island that appears just offshore from the Waterfront Park in the Beaufort River when the tide is low. Many visitors to the area are surprised to learn that the local deviations between our high and low tides can vary as much as 9 feet. This significant drop in water level can
The Beaufort Sandbar has always induced a pleasant and surreal feeling of being surrounded by “all things Beaufort.” reveal sandbars, or little islands, that make excellent locations for waterfront fun, socializing and relaxation. While there are many popular sandbar “hang outs” in the area, each with their own merits, the Beaufort (or “downtown”) Sandbar is unquestionably the most popular and iconic. Finding it is quite easy if you are in the downtown area. Simply walk out to where the swings front the river at the Waterfront Park and look out a few hundred yards in the rough direction of 2 o’clock. If it’s within a few hours of either “side” of low tide, you’ll see a collection of boats encircling a sandy little island in the middle of the river. Yep, that’s it. One of my personal favorite aspects of the Beaufort Sandbar is, as I alluded

to earlier, its utter lack of exclusivity. Beaufortonians of all ages, backgrounds, income and occupation arrive on its temporary shore via paddle boards, kayaks and boats of all size and shape. This eclectic mix of folks enjoy a relaxed sense of freedom seldom found on public beaches, with both dogs and kids running freely while grills are fired up, horseshoes are tossed and footballs are caught. I’ve lived in the Beaufort area since I moved here in 1993 to serve as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island and I’ve always considered the Sandbar to be one of my favorite places. For me, it has always induced a pleasant and surreal feeling of being surrounded by “all things Beaufort” while seeming a world away. Best of all, this year, the Beaufort Sandbar has finally been given its Water Festival recognition, being immortalized by local artist William Rhett III as the festival’s 2012 official logo appearing in print, online and across the back of scores of T-shirts. It’s a beautiful piece and, if you’re lucky, you might be able to pick up a print at his gallery located at 901 Bay St. In closing, if you are visiting and considering a potential move to the area, feel free to swing by a local real estate office and pick up some information on what’s available. Just know in advance that one of the nicest examples of local real estate is not available for sale. But you’re welcome to visit it at any time.

lunch bunch
Best bagel place in Beaufort just keeps getting better
PALM & MOON
By Pamela Brownstein
It’s no secret that I adore bagels. Even though I’ve lived in Beaufort for nine years, I grew up in New Jersey where good bagels are just a part of life. I took them for granted until I moved to the South and realized it’s hard to find places that make them the way I remember. But Palm & Moon Bagel Company, located downtown in the corner store between Divine Shoes and the UPS Store on Scott Street, makes their bagels right and keeps me coming back for more. I think the bagels are better because they are made from scratch and baked on the premises; you can taste the freshness. This week, The Lunch Bunch enjoyed the inviting atmosphere, the friendly staff and, of course, the awesome food at Palm & Moon. Elizabeth ordered the Santa Fe speciality sandwich made with cracked peppermill turkey, jalepeño cream cheese, tomato and lettuce on an everything bagel. Nikki tried the chicken salad on wheat, while Buck had a panini filled with grilled chicken, Havarti cheese and sun dried tomatoes.

I always like to customize my sandwich from the Built to Order menu. I chose turkey and Havarti cheese with tomato and avocado on a toasted sesame bagel. All of our sandwiches came with a side of their famous bagel chips. Palm & Moon is a great place for
breakfast or lunch. In addition to the variety of sandwiches, they also serve soups, salads, smoothies, coffee drinks and homemade baked goods. They also have daily specials, and many of their sauces and soups are fresh and prepared that day.

My favorite is the Frank: Your choice of bacon, sausage or Taylor ham (or, as we call it in New Jersey, pork roll) with egg and American cheese melted on a toasted bagel. I save it for special occasions, but I do recommend it as a super food if you had a little too much fun the night before. Owners Chris and Rainey Stoute recently opened a store in Bluffton. Chris said between his job as a firefighter and working at the new location, he and his wife stay extremely busy, but they are excited about expanding and they love their customers. Palm & Moon is a proud supporter of Water Festival, and is even the main sponsor for Tropical Tuesday night. Palm & Moon Bagel Company is located at 221 Scott Street, Beaufort, and is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. To place an order, call 843-379-9300. They have breakfast and lunch catering options for groups of six or more. If you happen to be in Bluffton, check out the new store at 103 Buckwalter Place Blvd, Suite 109.

Another monthly tasting, another good time, and another good wine for each of us. My group of wine tasting friends got together to sample a series of new, to them at least, white wines for summer. Interestingly, the line up did not have any Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs or Pinot Grigios. Not that there’s anything wrong with these three varieties, and not that they don’t taste good in the summer, but it’s always seemed to me that hot summer weather is made for trying new grapes as well as new wines. So we did. Five new whites, and each one of them was somebody’s favorite. Even though we’ve talked about several of these wines before, some of them we haven’t so they’ll be new to even us. We have to remember, too, that even though we may have tried some of them before, as soon as they are in a line up with four other wines they all of a sudden taste different. This in itself is one of the great things about these monthly tastings — we all gain new perspectives from each other’s comments, and hopefully a new appreciation for the wines we taste. It’s amazing how if a wine you thought was just OK is really liked by others, you automatically re-evaluate your opinion. Don’t have to change it necessarily, but you do reconsider. Another sip of this and another sip of that all among friends is a well spent hour! But, on to our wines. I’ll tell you about them in the order we tasted them and share some of our reactions to each. We started with a French wine, Marc Roman Terret. This wine is from the Lanquedoc-Rousillon area, not expensive ($6.99) and not pretentious. It’s clean and crisp, fresh and juicy, smooth with rounded fruit flavors and floral aromas. The mild acidity is well balanced with the fruit flavors. This is our second summer with this wine and it flies off the shelf this time of year. Our tasters today liked the easiness of this wine — nothing out of the ordinary in its flavors and textures, just good, basic, affordable white wine that never never let’s you down. Next, we tasted Condessa Eylo Verdejo ($10.99) from Spain. This wine we’ve also talked about before, but it was new to this group. And, like I mentioned

earlier, in this list of other$ wines, it $ 97 1.75lt 8 kind of different. 997three $16.99 does taste This wine includes percent Sauvignon include 1 3 2 S e a I s l Blanc a n d P aand r k w ahas y . flavors 5 2 2 - 3 7 0that 0 yellow apples, lemons, oranges and a hint of herbal flavors, in particular lavender. And get this: This was the only wine with a cork today. What progress we’re making with new closures. Tasted by itself, or in another line like the first time I tried it, this wine can seem a lot drier than it did today. One couple loved this wine for its bright acidity that didn’t overpower the wine’s flavors. Most of us really liked this wine for sipping and agreed it was a great food wine as well. Wine number three was new for all of us. Sort of. I haven’t talked to you about it here before, but we have talked about Albarinos. This is a Spanish grape that makes clean, crisp, bright wines. As good as the others that we carry are, the Eidosela Albarino ($11.99) is it for me. The real reason we haven’t talked about it here is because it would have been really redundant. Most of us have managed to drink it without publicity. This wine sells itself! My group today had one couple like it best, although everyone liked it. A lot. Again, this is a good drinking for the sake of drinking wine and a good food wine. Think of fried shrimp. Happy, happy. Our fourth wine came from California. It’s made by a winery named Siduri which is known for their wonderful Pinot Noirs. With wonderful prices too. One of our tasters today had been to Siduri and was shocked to see a white wine from them. And liked it too! Novy Four Mile Creek White ($10.99), by Siduri, is a blend of Viognier, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Blanc de Pinot Noir. Definitely an interesting assortment of grapes, but combined 750 ML
together they don’t taste anything like what we expected. Most of us thought it would be fruitier and even maybe sweeter, but not at all. That’s why you can’t be afraid to try. One person who knew they wouldn’t like it chose it as their favorite. So there! This wine is new for everyone because we just got it in for the first time. I tasted it a couple of months ago, a sample bottle at a warehouse, and it’s still as good now as it was then. It’s interesting that a bit of Pinot Noir adds just enough weight to this wine to make it really food friendly. This was my personal favorite today because it’s the newest. And, last, but not least, we tried Grooner Gruner Veltliner ($10.99). Gruner Veltliner is an Austrian grape that is sort of a chameleon. Depending on the elevation it grows at, it can resemble both a Pinot Blanc and a really mild Gewurztraminer. Either way it is a great match or all kinds of Asian flavors. It is dry and crisp with tart green apple flavors mixed up with tropical fruit flavors (star fruit) and a teeny weeny bit of spicyness. I have to tell you, one couple returned and returned and returned to this bottle. I think they like Thai food and found a great new wine to go with it. So, there they are. Four not so common white grape varieties and one blend. It was really exciting seeing everyone’s reactions to them all. Most of the group was familiar with the not so common grapes because they do travel, many to Europe, so they know Verdejo and Albarino and Gruner Veltliner. But, since they are from different countries and regions, tasting them all at the same time was a treat. I should mention that when we started all the wines were very cold — right out of the ice bucket. As we re-tasted and discussed them they did lose a bit of their cold. Not good, not bad. Just interesting. The fact that they were all liked really, really cold shows you how good they are for hot weather drinking. And look how lucky we were to have this atrociously hot and humid weather. Just so you know, our tasting list is set in January of each year. Of course we expected hot weather for this month, but high 90 degrees for this group of wines was a bonus. (And that’s the only positive thing I have to say about the weather!) So, enjoy the heat and some new wines!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol
Healing herbs for hounds and humans: A look at neem As summer settles in and festival season is in high swing the biting insects seem to become more fierce and relentless. In lieu of industrial, aerosol neurotoxins, I reach for my bottle of neem, instead. Neem is all-natural, nontoxic ammunition that stops molesting mosquitoes and ticks in their tracks. It’s the single most important thing you can keep on hand all summer, for your dog’s well-being and your own. Neem, botanical name Azadirachta indica, is a slow-growing evergreen tree in the mahogany family that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for 5,000 years. Neem is native to southern India and northern Myanmar and is cultivated worldwide. The Sanskrit word for neem is nimba, meaning good health. Ancient Sanskrit writings mention neem as veterinary treatment to be administered in feed or applied as liniments, oils, powders or liquids, using all parts of the plant. Neem was given for fever, inflammation, pain, mucus, worms, and mites or ticks. After the semimythical battle of Mahabharata, wounded elephants and other animals were treated with neem poultices. Western medicine and technology ignored neem until 1928, when two Indian scientists published a report of neem used as a pesticide during a locust infestation.
BowWOW!
Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www. wholedog.biz.
That same year, colonial administrators introduced the neem tree to Nigeria from Ghana, where neem was planted beginning in 1917. Neem was planted in Sudan for wood, firewood, shade and oil for lamps in 1916. By the 1960s, neem plantations were thriving in Africa and neem pesticides were studied for Western agriculture. Indian farmers have made infusions of ground neem seeds for use as pesticides for 2,500 years. In 1992, W.R. Grace, a chemical corporation based in Florida, was granted a U.S. patent for Neemix, a neembased pesticide stabilized by a proprietary process. W.R. Grace’s product differed from the traditional product only in that the patented process produced a twoyear stabilized shelf life. The patent was challenged on the argument that corporate patenting of a traditionally used natural
product is biopiracy. However, dozens of patents have been granted for stabilized neem products. So, it’s legit. You can find neem, in it’s pure form — which is what you want for you and your dog — in those upscale grocery emporiums. (It’s also sold at garden stores, but that neem is formulated and blended with other products specifically for the garden.) Through the summer months, I’ll be keeping a bottle of neem oil on the kitchen windowsill to arm my dog friends and myself against the mosquito menace. Neem is a biopesticide; applied topically, it doesn’t just repel mosquitoes (and fleas, too): it kills them -- naturally. It has absolutely no harmful side effects. To protect my dog friends, I dab spots of neem on top of their heads, behind their ears, on their shoulders and flanks, and on their tails. During mosquito season, I do
this every two to three days. I also suggest to their owners one capsule each of neem “supercritical extract” supplement, mixed with their food twice weekly, to arm them from the inside out. I also take the capsules, and dab spots of neem on my scalp, on each wrist, behind my knees, and on my knee pits (a popular mosquito target). Now, if you are in the company of folks who prefer their dogs to smell like hyacinths or “spring rain” or any other synthetic, artificial smell, then neem’s aroma may be a bit of a challenge. To me, it smells like mild roasted garlic, not at all offensive in light of its efficacy at bug management. It’s aroma can be mitigated with other, lighter, equally insect-repelling essential oils — rose geranium, peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, palmarosa. You can mix up your own personal blend. A good double-whammy mixer, Opopanax myrrh, the myrrh of ancient Egypt (and available online) has been shown to repel adults of the African brown ear, deer tick, black-footed, lone star and the good old American dog tick. If you have a green thumb, know that neem is also prized by horticulturists for its efficacy at keeping pests away from prized plantings, so there’s no need to use poison in the garden, either!
