County, local officials know preparation is key By Pamela Brownstein

In the event of a disaster, Beaufort County officials are committed to keeping you safe. Members of the Beaufort County Emergency Management Division have been meeting and plotting and planning for months to provide comprehensive short-term and long-term strategies designed to minimize property damage, restore the area and bring back citizens. In return, county officials are urging residents to do their part and be prepared in case a storm hits. According to Todd Ferguson, director of emergency management, just because Beaufort County hasn’t seen a hurricane in years doesn’t mean that people should become complacent. “We need to all prepare for the one storm that will get us one day,� Ferguson said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season this year with 12 to 18 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher). With natural disasters wreaking havoc in the United States and across the world recently, now is not the time to take a wait-and-see approach. County officials recommend having a home evacuation plan, the proper papers up-

to-date (which includes knowing whether you have flood insurance or not and understanding how your mortgage company handles loss) and a recovery plan in place. John McFee, the Beaufort County disaster recovery director, emphasized businesses should also have a plan because it is “vitally important� for businesses to come back after a disaster. The county’s team has all its bases covered in case Gov. Haley issues a hurricane warning. From the safe removal of all the animals from the shelter to the removal of debris, the people under William Winn at the emergency operations center know their roles and what they need to do. And they encourage the public to do the same and be ready.

NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY EVACUATION ROUTES The Beaufort area will be evacuate exclusively along U.S. 21 to U.S. 17. Approaching the U.S. 17 intersection with Gardens Corner, the left lane of U.S. 21 will have access to U.S. 17 South and will be directed to Exit 33 (Point South) where motorists will be directed to use the right lane to access I-95 North and the left lane to access I-95 South. The right lane will follow U.S. 17 North to Highway 303 toward Walterboro. Also, motorists wishing to travel towards the Hampton or Augusta area may turn right off U.S. 17 at Pocataligo onto U.S. 21 North to Yemassee an S.C. 68 West.

STRAIGHT TALK

School board considers finances, possibility of closing schools The hot topics on the board’s plate and in the community are the budget and the possible closure of schools; in reality the two are deeply connected. While I am sure that some will look at the return to the study of school closures as a response to the County Council’s decision not to grant the district a tax increase, in reality it is a topic that has never left the dialogue among many of the Board members. No matter what your personal feelings are, it is clear that public sentiment and the Council’s votes are not there to support a tax increase of any size no matter who might have to pay. As reviewed in a previous article, the Board made serious cuts back in February to programs that are clearly impacting the performance of students in a positive way. The targeted reductions of $6.8 million have actually produced about $5.4 million in savings; much of this is due to the fact that many of the higher paid literacy, math and science coaches cut from those programs have been returned to the classroom at a rate usually much higher than the cost of a new teacher. Recently, the Board voted not to grant the teachers who are eligible a step increase for years of service; this is in addition to the teachers who are at the top of the schedule and are not eligible for step increases and administrators who have had their salaries frozen at this year’s levels for next year. Support staffs have not had any increases for three years. The reductions in the “coaching” program and the increase in class size are not in place yet, so that we might gauge the impact; one has to believe that there will be some negative impact to these actions. The issue of school closures, I prefer calling them “consolidations” since we are not going to stop teaching students we are only discussing doing it in a different location, can positively impact the budget for well into the future. As we consolidate schools, we will certainly experience savings on

utilities and in those support positions that are redundant. We will make better use of those facilities that we continue to use and in some cases may even be able to sell property which of course will provide new one time money to the district or serve as a bridge until the existing weak tax code and funding formulas can be addressed and reformed. As we move forward with the study of possible consolidations or changes in attendance zones, we will be guided by the original plan presented last November and new ideas, which I am sure will bubble up through the committee of district and site administrators, SIC members and community members. It is understandable that some of the discussions and input will have an emotional nature to them, we are talking about children and where they go to school. Let me make two points from my own experience with similar actions in other schools districts; education is primarily a factor of the quality of leadership and staff at the school and committed and supportive parents, walls do not teach students, teachers do and as we move students their teachers will move with them. Second, if we don’t find permanent savings in our budget then we will be back at this every year peeling away another layer of program or adding more students to each class; it is analogous to tearing off a bandage, you can do it all at once and have a short period of pain or you can do it slowly and spread the pain over a long period of time. On June 9th we will meet again to look at the current budget and the

shortfall we are experiencing primarily due to the low tax collection rate. All of this is again understandable in this economy, but the projected rate that the County Council established at 98.6% is presently coming in at less than 90%; we expect that by the end of the year, June 30th, we will see a final collection rate of about 94%-95%, the difference equates to roughly $1 million for each percentage point we are short. You can do the math; we are looking at a shortfall of around $4 million. My personal position is that we make up the difference using our fund balance/reserves. Although this may mean putting ourselves in a position of paying higher interest rates when we borrow, we are not borrowing much at this time and any additional debt incurred is at least paid by all taxpayers through the debt service part of their tax bills and not just those with second homes or commercial property as is the case with operating funds. We have to see this through, there is no magic cure and we are still probably two years away from seeing any reform to the tax code that will bring more funding to Beaufort County. I ask you all to stay informed, listen to facts and watch actions, please do not get caught up in speculation and rumor. Where you can, bring ideas to the committee; you can do that through me at any time or with the committee members, we will have at least three from the Beaufort High School attendance zone, as will each of the other high school zones. I can be reached at billevansschoolboard@gmail.com. and I am more than open to meeting with individuals or groups that would like to discuss my position on any of these issues.

commentary/news STRAIGHT TALK

Passing a promising budget for 2012 Beaufort City Council passed the first of two readings on the Fiscal Year 2012 Budget ( July 2011 - June 2012) and there will be no tax increase and no increases in solid waste pick up or stormwater fees. Thanks in large part to the fact that the city had our eyes open two years ago and made changes necessary to survive the

economic downturn before we felt the effects, we are in good financial shape. That said, as we study the budget between first and second readings and go through the budget line by line with department heads, we will be looking for ways to plan for the following year when we anticipate additional drops in

revenue due to falling property values and pending actions by the SC House and Senate that may further tie the hands of local government by removing point of sale provisions in state law. Between now and the final reading, we will hold two informational workshops and a public hearing.

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling can also be reached by email at billyk@islc.net.

NEWS BRIEF

OFFICER of the YEAR Sheriff ’s Office recognizes Corporal John Gobel

T

he Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is pleased to recognize one of its own as the recipient of the 2011 Jesse L. Altman Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award. During the Beaufort Rotary Club award luncheon held last Wednesday, May 18th, Corporal John Gobel was honored for his life’s dedication to public service. This coveted award has been given since 1973 in honor of the late Col. Jesse Altman. He was a Beaufort Rotary Club member, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel and retired chief of the Beaufort Police Department. The club chooses a winner from those nominated by local agencies that best represent the Rotary motto: “Service above self.” Corporal Gobel began his career with the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office in 1988, after eleven years of service in the United States Marine Corps. As a Marine, Gobel served in military police billets and as logistics chief, positions that would aptly prepare him for civilian law enforcement. Over the last 20 years, Corporal Gobel has excelled in all avenues of law enforcement. Establishing himself early on as an aggressive go-getter, Corporal Gobel demonstrated an affinity for investigations. Developing highly effective and uniquely laid-back communication skills, Gobel has become wellknown for the positive results of the interviews he conducts.

Attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant, Gobel chose to retire from law enforcement in 2006. Even during his retirement, Gobel continued to serve as a Reserve Deputy and as the Master Dive Instructor for the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Dive Team. Unable to resist the draw of law enforcement, Gobel requested permission to rejoin the Sheriff ’s Office in 2009. His experience and talents were the type sought after by all law enforcement agencies, and he was quickly hired and assigned to the Sheriff ’s Office Northern Enforcement Investigations. Corporal Gobel’s efforts have resulted in one of the highest arrest rates in the county and the highest case clearance rate. This effort is emulated by his fellow officers as he often lends his assistance and expertise to his co-workers. Corporal John Gobel is considered a model deputy and investigator by the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office. His tireless commitment to resolving cases and apprehending offenders is a credit to the agency and the community he serves.

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

Dr. Burris and his staff traditionally gather around a patient when he or she gets his/her braces and sings to the tune of a banjo.

hen Dr. Skeet Burris was in his 40’s, he assumed he would retire at 55. He worked hard, made sound financial decisions and reached the age of vocation retreat when he realized he was nowhere near the age of giving up the daily operation of his practice, Winning Orthodontic Smiles. He continues more aggressively and enthusiastically today than ever before. Dr. Burris earned his Doctor of Dental surgery degree and graduated as valedictorian from University of Tennessee, Memphis. While in Dental School, Dr. Burris joined the United States Navy and after graduating, he spent two and a half years as a dental officer at Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot; he returned to the University of Tennessee Memphis and completed his residency in orthodontics and served as a Navy Reserve dental officer at the Navy Recruiting Center in Memphis. Continued on Page 7

I like everything about working here. It’s a team effort. Dr. Burris is committed to making these kids (and adults) happy. They grin from ear to ear when the braces come off. Dr. Burris gives 110% to every patient. And if the doctor doesn’t give, the staff won’t. Theresa Davis (with the practice for 23 years)

Continued from Page 6 He missed the Lowcountry terribly. While at Parris Island, Dr. Burris and his wife, Gail came to love the woods, water, wildlife and recreation of coastal South Carolina, ironically four words widely recognized across the country on the American Tree Farm System’s green and white diamond shaped signs that tell the story of sustainable forestry, which is also another passion of Dr. Burris. It seems Dr. Burris has come full circle in his journey to live and work in the Lowcountry. Determined to come back here against the advisement of dental consultants, Dr. Burris fought the odds and began a referral practice in Beaufort County with only four dentists North of the Broad and one in Hilton Head. That was in 1972. Today there are 24 dentists, three oral surgeons, two endodontists, and one Pediatrics Dentist, just in Beaufort. And since Dr. Burris relies on referrals, he makes it priority to understand the goals of each patient and their dentist. And area dentists know their patients will be well taken care of and be given quality results with Dr. Burris. “I believe I am part of a dental team community. I am blessed to have been able to grow with Beaufort,� explains Dr. Burris. Dr. Burris’ staff of 13 has a combined longevity of 106 years with his practice. There are three women who have worked at Winning Orthodontic Smiles for over 20 years. “What separates us from the other Orthodontic practices is our stability and caring and compassionate staff. All of our assistants are certified in Orthodontics and Radiology. The way we treat folks matters. When you’re in our environment, we want you to feel comfortable.� And that sentiment is echoed by Jan Goude, the Scheduling Coordinator with the practice for 24 years (in fact, she’s retired twice and come back). She says, “When you walk in, you’re a visitor. When you leave, you’re part of our family.� There is a definite sense of communal enthusiasm in the office. Each and every employee I met thoroughly enjoyed their profession. They get caught up in the excitement of developing winning smiles and radiate their positive energy to their patients. Gould explains, “We are building a person’s self esteem. There is nothing more rewarding than that.� I can attest. When my braces came off at 18, I walked into the high school cafeteria and people took notice when I smiled. It was something I’d never felt before. Once embarrassed by crooked teeth and a noticeable overbite, I was now comfortable with my appearance. And thousands of Dr. Burris’ patients are equally as grateful. Dr. Burris can take mismatched bones in the face and crooked eruption of teeth and turn them into works of art. The mouth is truly his canvas.

And it’s necessary for patients to seek consultation sooner than later. If

children are still pre-pubescent, they have time to allow orthopedic braces

to correct the problem. After puberty, oral surgery is required, which becomes more costly. Responsible parents should ask their dentists which orthodontist is best suited to treat the child’s condition. In most cases, it is Dr. Burris at Winning Orthodontic Smiles. And gone are the days of payment in full. Dr. Burris’ practice has a multitude of payment plans suited for all types of families. Minimal down payments are necessary, and the result is life changing. Dr. Burris is more than an orthodontist. Fortunately, his practice has given him the financial opportunity to practice and teach forest conservation. He is a steward of our Lowcountry and was given the Environmental Awareness Award in 2003 from Governor Mark Sanford. He is also a S.C. Forestry Commissioner. His love of the land, humble approach to life and dedication to his profession has given Dr. Burris reason to persevere. His passion is contagious, whether it is about timber, religion or braces. When he speaks, you’ll listen and more importantly, learn. He and his wife, Gail and their five sons have built a reputation of giving back. The family’s generosity over the years has been recognized statewide and nationally. But perhaps, there are no other people more thankful than Dr. Burrris’ patients. His infamous “Wall of Smiles� indicates the ultimate sign of appreciation — genuine smiles radiating through the picture frame, each thanking Dr. Burris and his staff. Dr. Burris isn’t quitting any time soon. “My goal is to produce quality orthodontic care to patients. When I am no longer blessed with the abilty to judge a dental scenario, I will retire.� For now, he will still produce winning smiles and continue to practice as part of Beaufort’s dental community team.

Spring Fling at The Red Piano Too F riends, relatives and art patrons came out to the Red Piano Too Art Gallery’s Spring Fling Exhibit on Saturday, May 28, which featured many authors and artist Mel Green. Mel Green (1934-2007), a Korean War Veteran and native of Beaufort County, graduated from Shanklin High School and the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1959; he spent the next seven years working as a commercial artist. Mel Green has been praised for his ability to combine expressionism, primitivism and cubism. He said about his work, “My paintings are an expression of my love, ideas, true feelings and philosophy of life. If you can see and understand the waves in the ocean or a beautiful dance in motion, then you will get the idea of what I am trying to express in my paintings. It’s very abstract, but it’s also very recognizable.� The exhibit will run now through June 30, and is free and open to the public. Among the participants for Spring Fling were well known Culinary Griot, correspondent on NPR’s Cultural Desk, and author of “Vibration Cooking: or, The Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl,� Vertamae Grosvenor; local bee farmer turned storyteller and author of “Tales of the Great Swamp: Shrouded in Mystery,� Earl Cooler, Sr.; John Warley, author of “Bethesda’s Child� and contributor to “This I Believe: On Fatherhood;� and Alvin J. Green, poet and author of “The Struggle For Peace Of A Gullah Mind� and brother to the late artist Mel Green. The St. Helena Brach of the Beaufort County Library was also on hand to inform the community of services offered by the library and to show plans of the new library that will be located on the grounds of The Historic Penn Center. The Spring Fling is an annual event celebrated around Memorial Day Weekend.

USCB offers workshop in digital photography for art teachers For the first time, the University of South Carolina Beaufort is offering graduate level digital photography classes for art teachers from June 13-17.

Pulitzer nominated, award-winning photographer with more than 30 years experience as a photographer and an art educator.

Coastal insurance will cost homeowners more As hurricane season is just about to get underway, the SC Wind and Hail Underwriting Association (The Wind Pool) is raising the cost of wind and hail insurance by an average of 10% for those property owners who can’t get coverage through private insurance companies. The Wind Pool is the State run insurer of last resort for properties that are located along the coast. The premium increase has been approved by the SC Department of Insurance and will take effect for policies renewing as of September 1. Properties located in Zone 1 primarily on the barrier islands will see a larger increase than those

located in Zone 2 (Lady’s Island is rated as zone 2). The last premium increase came in 2009 and was just 1.6%. “We had actually asked for more, 18.9 percent,� said Smitty Harrison, executive director of the S.C. Wind and Hail Underwriting Association. Harrison said the wind pool needs more money because the cost of reinsurance has increased. Reinsurance is insurance that the wind pool buys, worth about $1.3 billion, so that it would have enough money to cover claims in a catastrophe. “When the major disaster occurs, we’ll

have the money to pay for that,� Harrison said. What can consumers do about this? t -PPL BSPVOE UP TFF JG BOPUIFS insurance company will include the wind coverage within the base homeowner policy.

The three Ps of hurricane safety By State Farm® Agent Hurricane season is here. Many people have survived hurricanes without any harm, and with modern technology it almost seems that the path of a hurricane can be mapped out perfectly. But don’t be so sure. All the technology in the world cannot predict what Mother Nature will do. It’s important to pay attention not to just the black line forecasters use for the storm track but also the area on either side of it. The average error during the last 24 hours is about 85 miles, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. A moment to plan hurricane safety can give you peace of mind and keep your family and home safe. To be hurricane-safe, follow the three Ps: PLAN It’s always important for a family to

have a plan for emergencies, whether it be a fire, earthquake or hurricane. Every family member must know what to do to stay safe. When a hurricane threatens, decide if your family will move to a safer place inland, go to a designated shelter or ride out the storm in your home. Make sure you stay in touch with local authorities to know the severity of the hurricane. You should also plan an escape route in case your family needs to evacuate. PREPARE Your home should have a survival kit prepared for any emergency. It should include non-perishable food items, a first aid kit, a battery-operated radio, a flashlight, fresh batteries and drinking water. Also include other items you might need such as medication, prescription glasses or your insurance information. To ensure your home is prepared,

cover up windows and doors using hurricane shutters. If you don’t have shutters, cover your windows and doors with 3/4-inch plywood. Make sure your garage door is closed and anchored. Remember that serious hurricane damage can occur when wind and debris get into your house through a broken door or window. PROTECT If you decide to ride out the hurricane, protect yourself. If you don’t need to evacuate the area, stay indoors away from windows or glass doors. Put as many walls between you and the storm as possible. If you don’t have a basement, go to a closet or a bathroom. If you need to leave the area, make sure you go directly to the shelter. Take your survival kit and lock all doors and windows before you go. Let your relatives or friends know where you plan to be.

BA Upper School Academic award winners.

Beaufort Academy doles out awards Beaufort Academy held its annual Sports Awards banquet Thursday May 26. Awards winners included: Athletic Achievement Award Created in 1978 by Head Basketball Coach Rick Sagar and Soccer Coach Paul Griffin, the Athletic Achievement Award is presented each year to the young man or woman who demonstrates superior ability, excellence and enthusiasm in several varsity sports — a champion athlete. This recipient is chosen by the consensus of the coaching staff. With award-winning football and soccer on his resume, the winner of the 2010-11 Athletic Achievement Award is Nathan Akers. Dubart Cup The Dubart Cup was created in 1971 by head basketball coach Ken Myers and head soccer coach Lee Bollman. It is named after their respective undergraduate alma maters, Duke University and Hobart College. This award is presented each year to the young man or woman who excels in both the academic classrooms and in multi-sport competitions. The recipient epitomizes Beaufort Academy’s concept of the scholar-athlete and is selected by a consensus of the head coaches. This year winner demonstrates success in the classroom and in several athletic arenas — in addition to playing both basketball and soccer, this young man was selected as an All-State Swimmer. The 2010-11 Dubart Cup winner is Michael Bible.

Calling all children to Veggie Fun World The whistle blows, the participants cheer and shouts of exhortation fill the air as all of the participants in the Parish Church of St. Helena’s summertime Veggie Fun World CFHJO UP 3VO ɊFZ BSF OPU SVOOJOH aimlessly. No, they are running with purpose–they want to win the prize of the higher call in Christ Jesus. The race is not to the swiftest but for all who want to exercise their creative juices, memorize Scripture, build fun team relationships, and get messy in outside activities. Water and sand are definitely part of the fun, as is making giant kid-size bubbles and throwing water balloons at Bob and Larry. It’s OK–they are waterproof. Veggie Fun World has three sessions scheduled during the summer. All children will design their own unique T-shirt with each session’s theme. Session one coincides with the older children’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) program in cooperation with Praise Assembly in Shell Point. The dates for VBS and Veggie Fun World I are June 20-24, everyday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The fee for Veggie Fun World I is $130 per child, ages 18 months to 6 years, with online registration and payment available at www.sthelenas1712.org. The theme for the first session is Run and will emphasize the race we are in as Christians. Remember that spaces are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Our regular trained nursery staff will be present to lead and encourage the children as they look to win the overcomer’s prize. Veggie Fun World II will be July 18-29 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The fee for this longer session is $145 and can be reserved and paid online also. The theme for this session is Praise, and we

will emphasize music, marching, and praise Scriptures. It, too, will have fun games, crafts, and outside activities. Veggie Fun World III will be August 15-26 and will provide a happy transition into our regular fall school schedule. The days for activities will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Shout is the theme, and there is a hint of football in the air with kick, toss, and team competitions. Shouting is definitely encouraged as well and running, splashing, and creating outdoor murals of all the team members’ outlines painted with favorite team colors. Are you a gold and black, blue and white, or maybe teal and orange team? Let your team spirit shine through as we shout and cheer for each other. Veggie Fun World seeks to encourage growth in body, mind, and spirit as we build fellowship in the body of Christ. We will provide professional nursery staff, crafts, games, music, and storytelling as we promote Biblical family WBMVFT XIJMF IBWJOH B XIPMF MPU PG GVO We do hope to hear from your family this summer. Please consider joining us for one or more sessions.

CREEPED OUT BY GIANT WATER BUGS By Tony Mills

Chalk it up as a serious case of the “heebie jeebies,� I am still not sure what got into me that day. The setting was the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic, a huge fishing-hunting festival in Columbia, South Carolina. Our education program had assembled a group of non-game wetland animals for the audience of sports enthusiasts to view. As usual, I was manning my booth, telling stories, and expounding about the 3-inch-long predaceous insect I was holding in my hand. I was referring to it metaphorically as a miniature great white shark of the wetland ecosystem. I went into great detail describing its piercing, sucking mouthparts and its ability to inject digestive juices into its hapless prey turning the insides into liquid for ingestion. A large group of families began to assemble around our booth during this overly-dramatic diatribe. As I pointed out the animal’s fine swimming limbs, it reached out and unexpectedly grabbed my finger with one of its appendages and pricked my finger in the process. As you guys know by now, much of my life has been spent handling wild animals. However, on that particular day, my gut reaction was to fling the animal away from me, unfortunately in the direction of the group on the other side of the table. The bug landed on an unsuspecting lady’s shoulder causing her to convulse violently and then flick the insect onto the person next to her. A chain reaction occurred and thus developed into a small riot around my booth. The animal was eventually batted to the floor where it remained upside down thrusting frantically upward in an effort to right itself. Fortunately, a teenage girl calmly reached down and expertly picked up the bug and handed it to me. She informed me that she was an amateur entomologist and loved bugs. I guess it is a good thing that giant water bugs don’t get any bigger than they do. They are voracious predators often feeding on fish, crayfish, salamanders and frogs twice their size. You may have heard them referred to as “toe biters� because of their painful bite or “electric light bugs� because of their tendency to fly to tennis court lights or baseball fields at night. They have the abilities of walking, flying or swimming, but are mostly aquatic, living in our wetlands in the Lowcountry. We have a variety of aquatic insects on Spring Island ranging from the microscopic to the biggest bugs and beetles. The giant water bug (Lethocerus americanus) belongs to an order called Hemipterans (true bugs) which includes a variety of “stink bugs�, “assassin bugs�, “leaf-footed bugs�, “water scorpions� and others. The bite of Lethocerus to humans, although very painful, is not overly dangerous and usually does not require medical attention. As usual, I have personal experience involving giant water CVH CJUFT 4VSF PVS HJBOU XBUFS CVH JT pretty impressive, but tropical waterbugs may reach 5 inches or more in length. In Southeast Asia, they are commonly deep fried and eaten as a delicacy.

Eye health in sports Tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries occur each year. The good news is that 90 percent of serious eye injuries are preventable through use of appropriate protective eye wear. The risk of eye injury can vary depending on the activity. Make sure the level of eye protection you or others in your family use is appropriate for the type of activity. Regular eyeglasses do not offer proper eye protection. High-Risk Sports For all age groups, sports-related eye injuries occur most frequently in baseball, basketball and racquet sports. In baseball, ice hockey and men’s lacrosse, a helmet with a polycarbonate (an especially strong, shatterproof, lightweight plastic) face mask or wire shield should be worn at all times. Protective eye wear with polycarbonate lenses should be worn for sports such as basketball, racquet sports, soccer and field hockey. Choose eye protectors that have been tested to meet the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. If you already have reduced vision in one eye, consider the risks of injuring the stronger eye before participating in contact or racquet sports, which pose a higher risk of eye injury. Check with your ophthalmologist to see if appropriate eye protection is available and whether or not participating in contact or racquet sports is advised. Other Risky Leisure Activities While sports account for a particularly high number of eye injuries, they are by no means the only hobby that poses a risk

According to physicians surveyed for the 2008 Eye Injury Snapshot conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma, more than 40 percent of patients treated for eye injuries sustained at home were involved in home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking.

Students make history with stroke of a brush Beaufort is known by many. A little town full of historic treasure and seaside beauty. Whereas tourists stop by for a dose of hospitality and unmatched scenery, we simply call this home. And such has been the case for 300 years. So to honor our coastal town Historic Beaufort Foundation celebrated in style with a birthday bash and fundraiser that would make Robert Smalls himself proud. But it took many to put together this annual soiree. Some gave of their time; some gave monetarily while others with their amazing talent. And it was the talent that really got people talking. Historic Beaufort Foundation wanted to commemorate Beaufort and its many charms by having painted directional arrows hung about the event. So HBF enlisted the help of Ginger Anderson, Art Director at Beaufort High School, and some of her star art students. To say that this group of students and Ms. Anderson captured the essence of Beaufort is an understatement. Given the task of choosing a landmark or historic location to paint, each created a true work of art. A story was told — a history revealed. With each careful brush stroke the

Having chosen the National Cemetery, a historic home, the Downtown Marina, Gullah Heritage, the Arsenal and a shrimp boat, onlookers instantly felt immersed in the richness of Beaufort.

A spotlight on fabulous local restaurants; entertaining musings from the Happy Winos

BLACKSTONE’S

beckons  with  outstanding  food  for  breakfast,  lunch  and  dessert By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer The Lunch Bunch dined on Scott Street in downtown Beaufort last week at the infamous Blackstone’s, named from owner Roger Alley’s middle name. One of my favorites, Blackstone’s is the staple breakfast restaurant in town, but also known for its hearty lunches. You’re sure to see familiar faces at Blackstone’s, whether it be patrons or staff. Jessica Hughes, Tariel Williams and Larry “Fritzâ€? Hynson are staff members you’re likely to see when you visit. They’ve been working at Blackstone’s for a combined 31 years. And, if you dine on the weekends, you’re certain to be greeted by owner Roger Alley, who has owned the restaurant since 1991. Blackstone’s is celebrating its 20th anniversary, making it the oldest single owner/operated restaurant in the Historic District. Congratulations Roger and staff for two decades of great GPPE BOE GBTU SFMJBCMF TFSWJDF This day was no different than most. We all were seated at the front corner table, reserved especially for the Lunch Bunch. And we were well treated by Jessica, our friendly and professional server. Pamela took the breakfast route, not surprisingly. Did you read her column last week? About breakfast? She ordered

the blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon and was flavorfully pleased. I opted for the brunch entrĂŠe and got Blackstone’s signature dish, the Shrimp ‘n’ Grits, which can be found on both the breakfast and lunch menus. Covered in cheeses and filled with tasty shrimp, it was definitely the favorite of the table. Barry, April and Elizabeth fancied the lunch menu. April ordered the BLT with

a side of fries while Elizabeth chose the shrimp salad plate with a side of pasta salad. Barry asked for Blackstone’s other great seller and Thursday’s special, the Shrimp Burger. Although Barry and I had to leave early, April, Elizabeth and Pamela stayed and split two amazing desserts: the famous sticky buns and the key lime pie. April, the Key Lime Queen, declared the

pie the best in Beaufort. The generous portions are well prepared fresh foods delivered at a reasonable price. And the dÊcor is tasteful and spirited. Filled with posters of films made in Beaufort, banners of Prep Schools and letters of recognition from local, regional and national politicians, Blackstone’s gives the sense of community. When you dine there, you become part of the family. Staff will remember you by name and likely to know what your favorite dish is as well. It’s the quiet spot off the beaten path that has become a second home for me since moving downtown. And, it’s the spot I’ll recommend time and again to friends visiting from out of town. Once you go, you’ll remember it forever. And, when tourists come back, they definitely go back to Blackstone’s — just like the MPDBMT EP Thank you Roger for hosting the Lunch Bunch.

Not after several glasses of Louis Latour 2006 Vire Clesse. More like the gentle buzz of one thousand honey bees. What’s that I see in my yard? Did some trashy passerby toss his empty crushed Budweiser can into my azaleas? Another glass of my delicious Louis Latour and suddenly I see it more as a chic aluminum “objectde-garden-art� by renowned German sculptor Anhauser Busch.

But are you really mad at them? Nah. Deep down you know you love them and you feel safe enough to let off a little steam, saying to them what you couldn’t say to your boss, your mother in law, that pain-in-the-butt client, or any number of petty tyrants who walk all over your world all day long.

Obesity, the silent pet killer There are no solid statistics documenting the incidence of obesity in American dogs and cats. The most commonly used figure is that 40% of the cared for pets in the US are significantly overweight. In round figures, no pun intended, this means between two and two-and-a-half million pets are not merely chubby, plush or pleasingly plump. They’re obese. In a medical sense, they are critically ill, with an illness that frequently creates other serious clinical problems and shortens lifespan much like the human counterpart. Obesity is defined as an increase of over 20% above the optimum body weight. My beagle’s optimum weight was 28 pounds. She looked trim, had a nice tuck-up, could run for hours and had good self-esteem at that weight. At one point, early in our 17 years together, she gained five extra pounds and became one seriously adipose beagle. It doesn’t take much; five pounds to us may be a weekend of self-indulgence. But, when you only weigh 20 pounds, five extra pounds can profoundly change your life. Reasons for pet obesity include having a more confined and sedentary lifestyle, availability of highly palatable, filler-dense pet foods and treats, and our desire to please our pets by over-feeding. Bea’s momentary diversion into Fatland was completely my fault. Why should be concerned about obesity? The most serious aspect of it is its effect on heart and blood vessels. Fat doesn’t just rest on the outside like a thick spongy blanket. Globs of fat fill the body cavity, too. Fat deposits can crowd the heart of an obese pet, so its pumping capacity is limited. Additionally, the beleaguered heart is called upon for heroic

Lung capacity is lessened when crowded by fat, too. When a dog can’t pull a full lungful of air because of the fat crowding the chest cavity, the lungs cannot transfer the required amount of oxygen to the blood. When the blood is poor in oxygen, more blood is needed ... adding another demand on the heart’s pumping capacity. The extraordinary stresses on this large muscle pump usually lead to its early deterioration, failure, and eventual demise of the pet.

The slow, waddling, painful gait of a grossly obese pet is a pitiful and preventable sight. Do you have one of these at your house? Obesity is also conducive to fatty tumors and sebaceous (greasy) dermatitis. Plus, it’s not surprising that obese dogs are prone to developing diabetes mellitus. A recent study, tracking the health of 2.5 million pets, reports that in the last five years, obesity has climbed 32 percent in dogs and 16 percent in cats. While obesity is not the cause of diabetes — a lifetime of too much poor quality food is — the two are often linked. Having had a fat dog for a few months, I found the most immediate negative effect was that my beagle had turned into

— not too much — kept her figure, her energy and her goofy beagle outlook. The picture of an obese pet can be looked at as a vicious circle: Best Friend eats too much and accumulates fat. This slows him down and reduces his activity. Because he burns less energy, he grows even fatter, and so on. The end result: a sloppy, fat pet whose only interest is what’s in the bowl.
