T
he commercial shrimp trawling season opened in South Carolina state waters within the General Trawl Zone at 8 a.m. Wednesday, June 22. The commercial trawling season opened in federal waters on June 7. The shrimp season normally opens in late May or early June after the peak spawning period of white shrimp. However, as a result of the extremely cold water temperatures this past winter, which caused a drastic decrease in the abundance of white shrimp, this year’s opening was delayed by several weeks to allow additional spawning time. The opening date of the trawl season has not been this late since 2001, which was preceded by a similar cold winter.
Sites selected for 2012 calendar photo contest Beaufort County’s public boat landings and six selected undeveloped parcels of land will serve as locations for the annual Beaufort County Calendar photo contest. Winning photos taken at these locations will be used for the County’s 2012 Land Preservation Calendar. County Administrator Gary Kubic said the theme should inspire photographers. “There is little that is more precious to our citizens than the health and beauty of our land and water. This will present an exquisite opportunity for our gifted local shutterbugs to capture the essence of what we all hold so dear. I have no

Brian Murtha. The work to be performed will consist of a new training and simulator facility and a new aircraft hangar. The new training facility and simulator will include flight simulator spaces, training classrooms, briefing and debriefing rooms, network equipment rooms, administrative offices and mechanical and electrical rooms. The new training facility and simulator will include flight simulator spaces, training classrooms, briefing and debriefing rooms, network
equipment rooms, administrative offices and mechanical and electrical rooms. “MCAS Beaufort’s existing hangars are reaching the end of useful life at 50 years old and must be replaced to meet the changing mission of the air station,” stated Murtha. “This construction project moves MCAS Beaufort one step closer to receiving the Joint Strike Fighter and ensuring that we continue to meet the training and operational requirements as America’s Expeditionary Force in Readiness.”

St. Helena library temporarily moves St. Helena Elementary Branch Library operations will be moved on a temporary basis to the Early Learning Center because of renovations to the school media center taking place through July 24. The current St. Helena Branch Library will be closed July 25-30 to accommodate the move to the Early Learning Center and again back to the school’s media center. During these two weeks of closings, the library staff will be packing and unpacking materials as well as working to set up operations for regular library service and prepare for the popular Summer Reading Program. Wlodek Zaryczny, Beaufort County Director of Libraries, is very pleased with the outcome. “Our county administrator and school district leaders support this temporary relocation of library services on St. Helena. We are also grateful to the Public Library Foundation of Beaufort County for providing support to fund temporary assistance to help our staff with the move. It’s a win-win for everyone, especially the children and families on St. Helena.” For more information on this and other library programs and activities, check us out @ www. beaufortcountylibrary.org.

Lady’s Island Park to include bathrooms and second ballfield: A special thank you is extended to Ms. Christina Roberson for taking the initiative to include bathrooms, a second multi-purpose field and fencing around these new additions in the first phase of construction which is presently underway by JOCO Construction. The majority of this construction is being funded by park impact fees which were paid by the homeowners of each new house built on Lady’s Island over the last decade. The purpose of impact fees is to reduce the financial impact of providing infrastructure for population growth. When the Springfield Road park project began there was $642,002 of park impact fees available for use in building Lady’s Island parks. Although, JOCO Construction, which is based on Lady’s Island, is working hard to insure the community gets the most benefit possible out of every dollar the available impact fees will probably not be adequate to pay for the entire project.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Plantings a reminder of shared appreciation
In this age of choosing up sides, based on elements of division and difference, I find downtown Beaufort, with its hanging baskets of flowers, to be not only beautiful but encouraging of that which we share, rather than that which might divide. The cheerful countenance of those petunias provides a joy in my soul that provides a visible reminder of what is good and beautiful in life. A reminder of what joins us together in appreciation for flowers, beautiful plantings in Waterfront Park, preservation of large shade trees, and downtown opportunities for folks to come together in celebration, rest, enjoyment of sights and sounds, great food, and outdoor activity. It’s hard to be difficult when those petunias smile down on me, wave in the breezes, and send out their message of beauty and cheer. THANKS be to those who planted them, care for them, and assure their presence each year! Jane C. Sidwell

SHORT STORY AMERICA bringing back a classic form of literature
T
By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer .D. Johnston, better known in Beaufort as Tim Johnston, has brought a unique concept to the heart of the Lowcountry, yet one that is classic and is spreading far beyond the spartina grass and rising tides of coastal South Carolina.
Johnston is the editor of “Short Story America,” an anthology of 56 contemporary short stories. The inaugural first edition will be released at a launch party on Friday, June 24 from 6-8 p.m. at Lowcountry Winery on Bay Street. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Johnston, who wrote four of the book’s stories, as well as local author Gail Westerfield, New Jersey author Guy Tirondola, and North Carolina writer Dawn Allison. All will sign copies of the popular hardback book. Beaufort’s Warren Slesinger, who next year will have two stories in Volume II, also plans to be on hand at the event.
Tim Johnston created a worldwide publishing company that is located in Beaufort’s Town Center. He sensed an international demand to bring the short story back to life. So, that’s exactly what he did. Two years ago, Johnston started www. shortstoryamerica.com, which publishes new and classic stories online. He began the search for contemporary short stories from famed and unknown authors. Each week, SSA publishes a new short story online, which then becomes printed material in the new anthology series. Last year, Short Story America received 5,000 story submissions from authors around the U.S and the world. Fifty-six were selected for Volume I. The short story is a nearly-forgotten art form, but one that yields terrific recollections of childhood, high school, college and the introduction to fine literature. The classics from Edgar Allan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Louisa May Alcott, Joseph Conrad, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf and Washington Irving, to name just a few, were inscribed into my perpetual memory throughout my education. As a student, I remember learning to appreciate the value of well-written prose. I enjoyed the intriguing short story, because, well, it was short and entertaining. I was a kid. I perceived twenty minutes as several hours. A good short story introduces characters and theme and conflict very quickly. And a talented
author can develop all three seamlessly, while captivating readers with descriptive writing and great dialogue. I read one of Johnston’s stories just last night. “Friday Afternoon” is one of those stories that captures the curious mind while evaluating good and evil. It hooked me, line and sinker, and I
loved it! Even better, I finished the tale before my friend finished an episode of “The Bachelorette.” Reading a great story start to finish in one sitting, and then finding oneself thinking about that story the next day, is a great experience, and that’s what I got from “Friday Afternoon.”

about the book
“Friday Afternoon” has gotten a lot of online response and praise from readers and reviewers, and has been called a masterpiece by many in the field. In fact, award-winning producer Mark L. Hunt has optioned Johnston’s story to either be used as a feature film or part of a nonepisodic series, similar to the eclectic and popular Twilight Zone. Many readers have compared Johnston’s work to Rod Serling’s stories, and his well-received story “The Errand,” which is also in this book, has been compared to the work of the late Raymond Carver. That is why Hunt, the producer whose classic music documentary “Tom Dowd and the Language of Music” earned a Grammy nomination, is now working with Johnston on three different projects, all written by Johnston. The two are co-adapting “Friday Afternoon” via Skype to Tim communicate ideas Johnston and co-write the screenplay using Final Draft software. What is so ironic about the use of modern technology for the promotion of “Short Story America” is the fact that technology created the decline of the short story. F. Scott Fitzgerald made a ton of money penning classic short stories. He was one of the best and most famed authors of his time. But television, internet, smart phones and video games have trumped the popularity of the timeless masterpieces of short fiction. So Johnston brainstormed and realized, “Let’s bring the short story to the reader’s fingertips.” On the website, www. shortstoryamerica.com, visitors enjoy stories from contemporary and classic libraries. In addition, each week readers are treated to yet another short story, handpicked by Johnston and co-editor Sarah Turocy from hundreds across the country and the world. The first volume of short stories is presented in hardback with patriotic capitalism supporting its release, meaning, it is made in the USA. Johnston believes that American companies should not make products overseas that can be made in America by Americans who need their jobs. “Many companies talk the talk about patriotism and loyalty to fellow citizens, but then ship jobs overseas by making products outside of the U.S. that could be

“Witness the renaissance within the pages of ‘Short Story America.’ New life to literature! These stories are food for the famished souls of today’s readers.” — Thomas Fortenberry, author, editor and former judge of “The Georgia Author of the Year Awards” and “The Robert Penn Warren Prize for Fiction”
short story? Most of us have read and enjoyed short stories which have mattered to us in some lasting way. We remember famous stories like Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” o.Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” Ambrose Bierce’s “An occurrence at owl Creek Bridge” or Flannery o’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find.” We might recall equally great stories like F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams,” Jack Finney’s “Contents of the Dead Man’s Pockets,” Conrad Aiken’s “Impulse,” Daphne du Maurier’s “The Birds,” Ernest Hemingway’s “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” or Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral.” Yet, despite the fact that most willing readers deeply enjoy and remember short stories when they find the good ones, it is finding the good ones that has become so difficult in today’s hectic and dispersed culture. The short story is the great original American literary art form. Unfortunately, the natural electronic progression of radio, television, computers, video games, cell phones, texting, countless “apps” and brutally-busy personal and professional schedules have combined over the decades to drive the short story away from the mainstream and to the outer margins, indeed the nether regions of modern life. I founded Short Story America to bring the writers and readers of short stories together, to make it easier for readers to find today’s best and emerging authors of short fiction, without the hulking obstacle of traditional publishers which have minimized the short story’s availability to readers who seek quality reading experiences. Great short stories are being written today, and this anthology
Short Story America is available online with a secure PayPal payment of $34.95, which includes shipping and handling, at www.shortstoryamerica. com. Books will also be available for purchase at the Beaufort Bookstore, McIntosh Books, Lowcountry Winery, Berry Island Cafe and several of Beaufort’s finest art galleries.

made here. We had the chance to have our books printed in China for less money, and we said an emphatic ‘no.’ We are Short Story America, and our short stories will be printed in this country for as long as we might be lucky enough to exist. That’s more important than making a few extra dollars, or even a lot of extra dollars.” Even the book’s design and manufacturing was handled locally, by Hilton Head’s Lydia Inglett. Additionally, audio versions of the short stories are being developed by Jeff Evans and Mark Shaffer, right here in Beaufort. Members of the website will have the opportunity to purchase MP3’s of the short stories for $1.49. Another great way to experience short stories, much like we do music. Johnston is also using a local vendor to ship the books (which are signed by Johnston as first editions), and local web designer, Steve Thompson of PC Web Services, maintains www. shortstoryamerica.com. Another local investment that Johnston and co-editor Sarah Turocy will bring to the area is the inaugural Short Story America Story Festival, coming to Beaufort June 21-24, 2012. The festival will attract acclaimed authors and fans, educators and students. Beaufort will be the destination of this festival series, putting our beloved Lowcountry on the literary map with these celebrations of great short literature. Johnston is fulfilling many pre-orders of the book. He is also in the process of

sending copies to Publisher’s Weekly, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today and The LA Times as well as syndicates, like Thomas Fortenberry (who has already praised Short Story America) for literary reviews. Writer’s Digest has already rated www.ShortStoryAmerica. com as one of the Fifty Best Online Literary Magazines in the world. T.D. (Tim) Johnston wants to bring short stories back into the hearts and souls of Americans. We, as Americans, are innately fascinated with pop culture, so that’s how he is delivering his passion for fine literature — through the use of modern technology. “Short Story America” is exciting for Beaufort. Reviews and praise from worldrenowned critics and submissions from talented authors are funneling through cyberspace to Suite 204 in Beaufort Town Center as we speak. We are in the midst of a rebirth of an art form, and it’s happening in our own backyard. Thank you, Tim Johnston, for revitalizing the short story. If you cannot attend the launch and book signing, and want to order the book directly from Short Story America, signed by Tim Johnston, go to www. shortstoryamerica.com, or contact Short Story America at 843-524-7800. You can also get the book at Beaufort Bookstore, McIntosh Books, Berry Island Café, Lowcountry Winery, The Gallery on Bay Street, and other locations.
The mission of “Short Story America” is to bring the short story back into the mainstream of American culture, to bring the short story author back to prominence in literature and to enhance American students’ awareness and education in the art and value of the short story.

Annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2010 Harbor Island 0750013 We are pleased to present to you this year’s annual Consumer Confidence Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of water and services we deliver to you everyday. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) provides our water, with its source being the Savannah River; the raw water is treated at the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant. The river water travels 18 miles via open canal to the water plant located in the Chelsea area. The Chelsea Water Treatment Plant provides up to 24 million gallons per day (mgd) to residences and businesses in northern Beaufort County. This plant can also be used to supplement water supplies in southern Beaufort County as necessary. BJWSA’s annual report is available for your review at www.bjwsa.org. This report details our water quality and what it means. In addition to BJWSA testing, Harbor Island Utilities routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally occurring or man made. These substances can be microbes, inorganic
or organic chemicals, and radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled water, should be reasonably expected to contain at least small amount of some constituents. The presence of constituents does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a potential health risk. More information about constituents and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 Some people may be more vulnerable to constituents in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. Guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological constituents are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). We routinely monitor for various constituents in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. Lead and Copper monitoring was done in September 2009. Harbor Island Utilities, Inc., did not exceed
the action level for lead or copper at the 90th Percentile. Therefore, we remain on an ultrareduced triennial monitoring schedule. Our next sampling will take place between June 1, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Tritium levels in the Savannah River have been declining for more than two decades. For the year 2010, the average level of tritium in the Savannah River raw water was 273 pCi/L. Tritium is a regulated constituent and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a maximum contamination level for its occurrence in the water as 20,000 pCi/L. BJWSA levels are less than 2% of the EPA’s drinking water standard. BJWSA will continue its extensive monitoring program for tritium and report to HIU any occurrence in our water. South Carolina’s Source Water Assessment Program, mandated by 1996 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, is aimed at protecting public drinking water supplies at the source – the rivers, lakes and streams all across South Carolina. As part of this program, a source water assessment of the Savannah River Basin has been completed. This assessment is part of a program to identify what and where pollution prevention efforts are necessary to ensure the future safety of our community’s drinking water and to implement those protective measures. SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has complied the assessments from all water utilities in the
state into a Source Water Protection Program. DHEC’s assessment included consideration of eight categories of potential contaminants: volatile organic compounds, petroleum products, metals, nitrates, pesticides/herbicides, pathogens, radionuclides and undetermined. The assessment identified and mapped sources that could potentially release these contaminants, such as gas stations, dry cleaners, agricultural areas, automobile repair shops, landfills, septic systems, and manufacturers, businesses and facilities where potential contaminants are used or stored. DHEC compiled an initial inventory of potential contaminants at 22 sources within the Savannah River basin. Zero sources had a high susceptibility ranking; 17 had a moderate susceptibility ranking and 5 had a low susceptibility ranking. The information in the Source Water Assessment Report will be the foundation of a local effort to improve protection of our drinking water sources. A copy of the Source Water Assessment Report is available for your review at www.scdhec.net/ water. BJWSA was monitored for the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation 2 (UCMR2) in 2010. No detections were noted. If you would like to receive a list of the contaminants monitored please contact Matthew Bradey in BJWSA Communications Dept. at (843) 987-9213. Please direct specific questions regarding HIU’s report to Ms. Christie Coleman, Chief Operator, (843) 982-0405; no report will be mailed unless requested.

*If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially in pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Harbor Island Utilities, Inc. provides high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for extended periods, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize your exposure are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at https://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. **Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with “Wilson’s Disease should consult their personal doctor.

Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water. BJWSA monitors it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. In 2008, BJWSA reported that TT=100% of samples <0.30 NTU. The correct treatment technique reporting should read TT = 95% of samples< 0.30 NTU, and BJWSA has corrected it in this year’s report.

Annual Father’s Day guilt In conjunction with pending nuptials, pending contracts, and pending sanity, I have annual Father’s Day guilt. It is a bit different than that dainty teaspoon of guilt mom is highly skilled at mixing into morning coffee. It is more of a self-inflicted blanket of guilt that I find myself snuggled under every single Father’s Day. Actually, it consistently occurs the several days after the often under-celebrated holiday. My preparations for Mother’s Day are nothing short of strategically planned, intricately placed notions of gratitude. It could be argued that this orchestra of pleasantries is an all-out attack to ward off the insurmountable evils of a mother forgotten. Of course, that is not my motivation (disclaimer, disclaimer!).
Just as he always forgave the misspelled “Dad of The Ear” coffee mug, the homemade mud pie Father’s day breakfast, and the coveted collect call to wish him well, Daddy still manages to overlook my Father’s Day missives. My intentions are honorable, just not overly prompt. Truth is, there isn’t really a card that can come close, a grill that measures up, a call that lasts long enough, or a mug that can capture the essence of my immeasurable love for the man who fixed my teeth with braces, repaired my bike chain 897 times a day, told me it was OK to play in the dirt and spent my teenage years standing his ground so that my feet would remain firmly on mine. Words are easy for me, both spoken and written. They flow with unbridled enthusiasm and often-unsuccessful
restraint; yet, when it comes to the man who has held my hand and my heart for my entire life, no one article, no one chapter, and no one call will ever be enough. He has been my biggest supporter, my best friend, even my worst enemy, but always my Father. Sorry I am a little late with my Cherimie Father’s Day article. I do know that Crane perched quietly on the porch of a small house in backwoods Mississippi, the strongest hands I’ve ever known are holding this newspaper for the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen to read a simple attempt at saying I love you, no matter what day it is. Thank you, Daddy.
LITTLE BITS OF ROYAL CHATTER By Peggy Chandler
The Royal Readers, Royal Pines Book Club, met at The Tooting Egret to discuss “Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter” by Tom Franklin. The book was enjoyed by all, as was the food and ambiance at The Tooting Egret. Last month’s meeting was held at the beach which is now an annual book club tradition. The book discussed, “A History of Love,” by Diane Ackerman was less well received. Book club members felt that although the story was interesting and had won the Saroyan Award, the story was disjointed and hard to follow. The book club has openings

Dental dangers of tongue piercing Tongue piercing is becoming increasingly trendy among the youth and many are opting for it, without actually caring to know more about the adverse effects on your dental health. Tongues are typically pierced by running a needle through the front third of the tongue, from top to bottom. The first 3 days, you will notice common after-piercing symptoms like pain, swelling, infection and an increase in the flow of saliva as the mouth adjusts to a foreign body. After that, some say the worst is over but studies say otherwise. Uncommon but life-threatening complications can occur like Ludwig’s angina. It is a bacterial infection of the floor of the mouth that causes swelling of the tissues and occurs rapidly and may block the airway or prevent swallowing of saliva. The more common dangers include: 1. Damage to teeth. Teeth that come into contact with mouth jewelry can chip or crack. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, 47% of people wearing barbell tongue jewelry for 4 or more years had at least one chipped tooth. This can happen while talking, eating or even sleeping. Tongue piercings can eventually destroy your front teeth from the tongue bar continuously hitting or rubbing up against them. The bars will eventually wear away the enamel on your teeth, creating additional problems including
Dr. Jennifer Wallace Dr. Wallace practices at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort and can be contacted at 843-524-7645 or at www. palmettosmilesofbeaufort. com. extreme sensitivity associated with your teeth. 2. Gum disease. People with oral piercings — especially long-stem tongue jewelry (barbells) — have a greater risk of gum disease than those without oral piercings. The jewelry can come into contact with gum tissue causing injury as well as a recession of the gum tissue, which can lead to loose teeth and tooth loss. 3. Difficulties in daily oral functions. Tongue piercing can result in difficulty chewing swallowing food and speaking clearly. This is because the jewelry stimulates an excessive production of saliva. Temporary or permanent drooling is another consequence of increased saliva production. Taste can also be altered. 4. Bad Breath. Tongue piercings or studs can cause bad breath. Pieces of food can stick to the stud or the stud itself that may cause bacteria growth and, therefore, bad breath. Tongue studs also impede the use of tongue cleaners

or scrapers. 5. Allergic reaction to metal. A hypersensitivity reaction — called allergic contact dermatitis — to the metal in the jewelry can occur in susceptible people. 6. Jewelry aspiration. Jewelry that becomes loose in the mouth can become a choking hazard and, if swallowed, can result in injury to the digestive track or lungs. So if that didn’t convince you to stop your child from getting a tongue piercing, how about this case? Researchers at the University at Buffalo did a case study on a 26-year-old female patient who complained about a large space that had developed between her two front teeth. The patient had her tongue pierced when she was 19 and at that time she had no space between her two front teeth. From the time, this patient had played with the stud, pushing it into her two front teeth and then, as a space began, she would habitually play with the stud and push it into this new space. To repair this space this patient now needs fixed braces to push the front teeth back together. If you are considering piercing your tongue, think again! That little stud in your tongue can cause you problems with your teeth and mouth as well as your body’s overall health.

Beaufort Water Search and Rescue busy in June The Beaufort Water Search and Rescue team has been busy so far this year with calls from Beaufort area boaters. Two recent incidents required special attention from the volunteer team. On Sunday, June 12, Beaufort Water Search and Rescue received a call from a Beaufort County 911 operator stating, “a boater was drifting, out of gas, and had no idea where he was.” The boater had a cell phone, but limited signal. He left Pigeon Point boat landing, following a friend in their boat out to Morgan Island in St. Helena sound. They departed the island, and he stayed a little longer. He went out the little creek coming from the north side of Morgan Island into the Coosaw River and did not know which way to go. He then ran out of gas. He drifted several hours before calling 911, as he was hoping to see another boat. BWSAR launched two boats immediately, one captained by Henry

Robertson and the other captained by Scott Jennings. They started the search in the Beaufort River near MCAS and expanded the search outward from Beaufort. Once they entered the Coosaw River, BWSAR launched three other boats, captained by Nick Russel, Casey O’Connell and John Sutcliff and joined by crew members Troy Davenport and Danny Williams. Five boats searched the Beaufort River, Whale Branch River, McCalleys Creek, Morgan River, Parrotts Creek, Bull River,
St. Helena Sound, Otter Island, the Intracoastal Waterway up to Ashapoo River and the Combahee River, where he was found. BWSAR put gasoline in his boat and instructed him to follow one of the squad boats back the Pigeon Point boat landing. The search incurred 52 man hours. On Saturday, June 18 Beaufort Water Search and Rescue received a call from a Beaufort County 911 operator stating, “a shrimp boat was taking on water, and the engine had died with 5 people on board.” BWSAR launched one 24’ boat captained by John Sutcliff with crew member, Chris Haley. The shrimp boat was located near Port Royal Sound. Upon arriving at the scene, they found two boats tied together.
The owner of the shrimp boat called a family member to bring a pump who barely made it to the 55’ shrimp boat before their engine died. BWSAR immediately took them in tow to get them out of shallow water. A commercial tow boat came to the scene and took the small boat in tow, and the BWSAR boat continued the tow of the shrimp boat to Port Royal. BWSAR launched another boat to assist, Captained by Richard Jennings Jr. with crewmembers, Joe Morlino and Cliff Johnson. BWSAR boats towed the 55’ shrimp boat “Bounty” to the Port Royal seafood dock, where BWSAR squad members, Danny Williams and Gail Wrede assisted with the lines. If you have trouble on the water this summer, the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue Squad can help. Simply call 911, and the dispatcher will connect boaters with members of the squad. And it’s always better to be safe than stranded.

oyster restoration
M
ore than 75 volunteers came out to Hunting Island last week to assist with the Oyster Reef Restoration project. South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, South Carolina State Parks and the Friends of Hunting Island coordinated the successful event that rehabilitates oysters reefs by using recycled oyster shells. A human chain was formed that transported bagged oyster shells from the Nature Center to the pluff mud bank. Once the reef is established, new oysters will attach to old oyster shells, creating habitat and food for the salt marsh ecosystem. 18

More than 100 species of dragonflies prowl our state, many of them right here in the Lowcountry. Common names like comet darner, cobra clubtail and dragonhunter to name a few, hint at the myths surrounding these common wetland creatures. Legend has it that dragonflies, sometimes called devil’s darning needles, have the ability to sew up injured serpents with their bodies. These “snake doctors” were also rumored to have the ability to warn snakes of impending danger. Other legends suggested that these primitive insects followed and protected children from the dangers of the woods. In reality, dragonflies belong to an order of insects called Odonata, Latin for “toothy ones”. They differ from the closely related damselflies in that they hold their wings flat and parallel to the ground (damselflies fold the wings vertically). Like other insects, Tony Mills is the dragonflies have six legs and education director for the LowCountry a body divided into three Institute on Spring body parts (head, thorax and Island. abdomen). They use their two pairs of wings to fly at incredible speeds often chasing down and capturing speedy flies and other insects in mid air. Often referred to as “mosquito hawks”, these beneficial insects, feed on a variety of “pesky” bugs. If you spend time watching dragonflies in the wild you’ll see a variety of fascinating behaviors associated with catching food, seeking mates and securing territories. Elaborate mating rituals take place in the spring and summer for most species. The fertilized eggs are deposited on aquatic plants in a wetland where they hatch into larvae called nymphs or naiads. These larvae are voracious predators feeding on a variety of insects, frogs salamanders and even small fish. The mouthparts extend over half the length of the body. These alien-like parts are fired at prey to catch it and hold it in a feeding position. The larvae grow rapidly and reach larval maturity in a few months or years depending on species. To ready themselves for metamorphosis, they climb out of the water on a stick, limb or leaf. The outer covering splits and an adult dragonfly crawls out from the casing. Dragonflies are especially vulnerable to predation at this stage and many are eaten by fish, birds and even other dragonflies who cannibalize their own siblings. It may take the insect hours to ready its body for flight and for the wings to fill with blood and cure. Initially these newly formed adults may be pale, but later develop the bright blue, green and red hues of their particular sex and species. After drying the adult dragonfly starts its short life in the air. The males spend much of their lives patrolling territories, mating and catching food. Adults rarely live more than a month. After a few weeks of living life to the fullest, their bodies are eaten by a variety of fish, birds and other insects.

Can the da Vinci robot really shorten recovery time? Just ask Kathleen Linn, who simply did not want the weeks of “downtime” she expected while recovering from major surgery. Kathleen was thrilled to learn the physicians at Beaufort Memorial use a state-of-the art da Vinci robot surgical system for gynecologic procedures, which enables the surgeon to perform the most precise, minimally invasive procedure available today. That means less pain, less scarring, and days — rather than weeks — of recovery. - Kathleen Linn Lady’s Island, SC

How women can look their best in photographs One of the biggest reasons women hate to see pictures of ourselves is because what we see in the picture is not what we see in the mirror, or what we imagine ourselves to look like. We have a forgiving filter our minds use when we look in the mirror, or else we would never leave the bathroom. In photographs, we always seems to notice our imperfections more, like the little lines around our eyes, or those few stray hairs. When we look at pictures of loved ones, we only see the good. “Ooh, isn’t Baby Mary’s drool so cute!” When we look at pictures of ourselves, we only see the bad. I have never heard a woman say, “Ooh, my extra roll of flub is so attractive in this photo!” There are things we can do to improve the chances of liking our photograph.
Susan Stott-Smith owns Captured Moments Photography, 1402 King St Beaufort SC 29902 843-379-0223 capmom.com.
Ladies, be aware of these no-no’s: 1. Don’t think that “natural” is better. ALL women should wear makeup in photographs. Especially in a studio setting, there will be more lighting than usual, so you want to enhance your features so they stand out! At minimum, wear lip color and use mascara to enhance your eyes. Everyone says, “I don’t wear makeup in real life.” Well, a picture is not real life. It lasts forever. 2. Don’t wear horizontal stripes. Solid
colors are always better for photos, and darker colors are more slimming. Stripes just emphasize your widest parts. If you are teeny tiny, wear anything you darn well please. But if you are worried about looking a little bigger, then go with darker clothing. Which leads me to the next point: 3. Unless you have stick arms, don’t go sleeveless. Always wear sleeves, at least midway to the elbow. Also, don’t press your arms to your body, but hold them away a bit so that the fleshy part of your arm doesn’t spread out. The goal of any photograph is for the viewer’s eye to go straight to the face. If there is a beefy arm competing with the face, guess where the eye goes first? 4. Never stand straight-on to the camera. Always try to turn your shoulders
about 45 degrees. There is a saying in photography: if it bends, bend it. If at all possible, lean forward slightly at the waist and raise your chin to reduce the chance of a double chin. Not saying you have one! But this trick works. My sisters and I have been doing this for years, after we fight about who has to be in front. In our portrait studio, we cater to women’s needs. After all these tips produce a great raw image, then we go in and retouch the heck out of women. Kids and men, so so, but women want the works, so we use Photoshop magic (Botox in a Box). We reduce wrinkles, smooth skin, whiten teeth, remove stray hairs, etc, etc. Anyone can take a picture of you the way you really look. Who wants that? We want a picture to reflect the way we think we look: perfect!
The gift of organized financial and legal affairs Most of us know someone who has struggled to sort out the financial, legal, and personal records of someone who became sick or died. Without financial and legal facts, heirs can spend a significant amount of time and money tracking down financial accounts, legal papers, and relevant individuals. Nonetheless, many people have not made plans. Of course, no one likes to think about what will happen if they become incapacitated or die, but illness and infirmity are unpredictable and may strike anyone, anytime. By pulling together and documenting important financial and personal information, we can provide loved ones the essential information they will need to handle the practical and administrative issues surrounding loss, be it from disaster, incapacity, or death. It is one of the most thoughtful and appreciated gifts anyone, regardless of age or complexity of estate, can give their family. Making things easier for your family is not difficult, but it may be time-consuming. Break the task into manageable sections and take it one step at a time. Start by thinking about broad categories of important personal, financial, and legal information. Most of us carry this information around in our heads and never discuss it with our family members in a comprehensive way. One of the best and most appreciated gifts we can leave
Organizing your estate is a gift of love that extends far beyond the time you can personally care for your family. It will bring you and your family peace of mind. our family is our essential information and where to find important documents so that they don’t have to sort through and figure it out on their own. Organize and present this information in a clear, easily accessible structure. Bookstores, estate planning attorneys, professional organizers, and funeral homes offer many products to help guide you through the process. The format isn’t important; the content is. I recommend you gather and record the following information (for your own use, as well as that of your heirs): • Advisors: List the contact information for your insurance agent(s), tax preparer, attorney, executor and any other key financial people in your life. • Debts: List credit card numbers and issuers’ contact information; detailed information on outstanding home, auto or personal loans (loan numbers, terms, balances and contact information for lenders). • Insurances (property, health, life, LTCI): Include policy numbers, amounts,

and beneficiaries; location of the policies; and contact information. Include pre-paid funeral plans, if any. • Legal papers: Record the location of your will and trust; power of attorney; tax returns; Social Security cards; birth, marriage certificates, divorce papers, military papers, passports, deeds and mortgages, leases and car titles, business or donor agreements and rights held. • Savings and investments: List every financial institution where you have money, including account numbers and contact information.

Local financial advisor featured in ‘Investor’s Business Daily’ Hall Sumner, portfolio manager at Wells Fargo Advisors in Beaufort, was recently published in Investor’s Business Daily. His opinion was featured in an article titled, “Asset Managers’ Midyear Market Outlook by Trang Ho. Investor’s Business Daily asked, “With practically half of 2011 in the rearview mirror, what’s in store for the market and where should you invest your money?” This is what Hal said: “Have we been here before? Think back to last June, fears of inflation, sovereign-
debt defaults and slowing global growth resulted in a correction in global markets. The correction proved to be short-lived and the markets recovered by early fall. Data suggest that the domestic economy has clearly slowed. The question is if this is just a soft patch or the beginning of something worse. Our forecast for GDP annual growth is 3%, fueled by modest consumer spending and business investment, and we recognize that the risk is to a lower number, especially if oil prices bounce up again.
I manage ETF portfolios utilizing relative strength. Despite the pullback in equities and commodities, my work suggests that the two strongest asset classes are still U.S. equities and commodities. International equities, particularly emerging markets, are a close third. While it certainly feels a lot like last summer, the indicators I follow are telling a much different story. We are slowly recovering from the worst recession in generations, and the U.S. is
following the lead of stronger growth in Asia. Consequently, the economic and market outlook depends more on foreign developments than it has in previous cycles. Moderating commodity prices should take some pressure off emerging market central banks that have been raising rates to cool their economies and head off inflation. Unless the data get much worse from here, I am looking to take advantage of the summer doldrums and position my clients for a better second half of the year.”

The Lunch Bunch dines at the always delightful
suzara’s kitchen By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer
The Lunch Bunch dined at SuZara’s Kitchen, located at 1211 Newcastle Street behind Talbot’s. The experience was nostalgic for me. Susan Zara, owner of the restaurant, is an old neighbor of mine and also the feature of the first Community Profile I wrote when I started with The Island News almost 18 months ago. Then, she had just opened SuZara’s at 1103 Boundary Street. Well, she quickly outgrew that location. Her popularity with the locals has surged, and her new spot (and larger space) allows for more adventurous cooking and in house dining. In addition to her prized baked goods, Zara is now offering a delicious lunch menu. She’s also partnered with Patsy Collins, who owns Be My Guest, utilizing the space for the restaurant and retail. Zara is a natural in the kitchen. “I love what I do. I love to see the response on people’s faces. And it’s very easy for me,” says the 37-year, self-taught chef. And the people of Beaufort obviously love what she does too. Her enthusiasm for cooking and ultraorganized sense of business has propelled her into an elite class of restaurant owners in Beaufort. It’s a small group, and she’s now a humble member. I was so excited to try the lunch menu. Zara makes everything from scratch using the purest of ingredients, so I knew it was going to be good. And, indeed, it was. Kim ordered the vegetable strata, which was the special for the day. Zara carefully takes day-old croissants to make the layered dish. Kim thoroughly enjoyed it, and we all took note of its delicious presentation. Three members of the Lunch Bunch asked for wraps. April and Barry ordered the turkey club, and Pamela got the smoked salmon wrap with capers and dill cream cheese. Pamela also got the Red Roasted Pepper Corn Bisque. It was heavenly and easily doubled as a cold soup and as a dip for crackers or chips. Elizabeth and I opted for the salad selections. She ordered the curried chicken salad, and I asked for the 24

Mediterranean salad. Each entrée was delightful, and Elizabeth’s won as the table’s favorite dish. It is a musthave. We could not got to SuZara’s without ordering dessert! Zara’s famous coconut cake was the only item on everyone’s mind, so we all got it! Just so you know, it is Conan O’Brien’s favorite all-time dessert. He specifically asked for it when Zara served it up North. Well, watch out Conan, because it’s the Lunch Bunch’s favorite dessert as well! I wonder who Susan Zara will brag about more? I agree ... The Lunch Bunch! Zara’s other desserts are mouth watering as well. My girls (Abbie and Julia) came with the Lunch Bunch and ordered lemon bars and truffles for dessert. I tried a little of both, and they were phenomenal. The ambiance of SuZara’s is peaceful. It’s the perfect setting for a ladies’ lunch or any small gathering. Miles

Confessions of a former wine virgin The other day while consulting on a new restaurant’s wine list, I heard myself asking, “Are their reds bold enough? Do they need a Super Tuscan to knock it out of the park?” This from someone who, several decades ago, thought a straw-covered bottle of cheap Chianti was the height of bohemian Italian chic and romance (especially when paired with a redcheckered tablecloth!). If the candle holder in the center of the table was also a straw-covered Chianti bottle, well then I was truly living “La Dolce Vita” and felt only pity for my fellow beerbellied Americans who would never know such sophistication. This jarring memory prompted me to take a closer look at my early wine drinking years and at a youthful wine industry that sort of had its share of adolescent acne and embarrassing moments way back when. I began thinking about “my first time”; the moment when the first sip of wine made love to my young, inexperienced palate. It was a wine all the way from Portugal which, at the time, seemed excitingly foreign and exotic compared to my parents’ Long Island non-descript suburban tract home with aluminum siding in which I felt I was “serving time” for some unknown crime. Understandably, I was instantly smitten with the “baroque historic mansion” on its label (an actual drawing of Mateus Palace in Villa Real, Portugal). And the taste!
Terry Sweeney
I began thinking about ‘my first time;’ the moment when the first sip of wine made love to my young, inexperienced palate. It was a wine all the way from Portugal, which, at the time, seemed excitingly foreign and exotic compared to my parents’ Long Island non-descript suburban tract home with aluminum siding.
Medium-sweet, fizzy, and pink, it swept me off my feet. All $4 of it. Perhaps I shouldn’t have drunk so much of it, at my first tasting, but if I hadn’t I would have never known about “the morning after” when all virgins (wine and otherwise) feel a rush of guilt and, at the same time, the thrill of having completed a necessary rite of passage. Mateus, Mateus, Mateus! I thought it went great with everything (early wine pairing). From a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to a chocolate-covered moon pie, Mateus was my ticket to the adult world; a world that until then I had only had my nose pressed up against the glass and looked upon longingly from the outside. I absolutely loved Mateus and would recommend it, Robert Parkeresque, to my fellow teens. Some would protest that Lancer’s Rose was better. Those were people I knew would never be in my inner circle (savages!!!). Yet somehow, somewhere, my
fascination with Mateus faded away and I got that sad feeling you get when you’ve outgrown a toy you once loved. My wine childhood was officially over. Still I sometimes wondered about Mateus. Where was it now? The good news is, it’s alive and well. There are Mateus lovers all over the world. Some hunt down the old bottles before they changed the formula to a drier, fizzier style that more suits today’s wine market. Others enjoy the brave new world of a modern Mateus that has expanded its product line from Rose to a new variety — a Mateus rose tempranillo in a new bottle with silver foil aimed at the 20-something woman’s market. Nevertheless, the original Mateus still has its fans and friends in the most unexpected places. The wine bottles are
used in Hungarian Folk Dancing and the girls balance the bottles on their heads as they dance (sounds like they drink a lot of ‘em first!). Reportedly when Queen Elizabeth II dines alone, that is her preferred wine. ( I knew the moment I tasted it — Mateus was the wine of Queens!) Ask your friends about their “first time.” I did. For one it was floating down the Green River in North Carolina in an inner tube with high school friends happily drinking Boone’s Farm Apple Wine and lovin’ every minute of it. Boone’s Farm now has a fan club with its own website, where folks still sing its praises. Sort of. One girl wrote, “love Boone’s Farm cuz it gets you drunk and then you can make bad decisions and wake up with a headache.” (Been there, girlfriend!) Old wine flames like Blue Nun, Reunite, and Cold Duck came to mind for some nostalgic Happy Winos I chatted with. Each accompanied by a charming and/or funny tale of innocence lost but wisdom gained. And as for me, even though Mateus will not be on my fancy restaurant wine list, it will always have a special place in my Happy Wino heart. Cheers!

teach your children well Starting your children off with the right view of finances is so important these days — especially when debt seems to be a common way of life for so many. We can, however, change the way our own children look at money. Here are some important lessons to teach your children about their money: 1. Money Does Not Grow On Trees. Children do not understand, at least not at first, that there is not an unlimited supply of money at the bank, or on the credit card. Explain to them the process that they can only buy what you have money to pay for. 2. Saying “No” To Some Unnecessary Things. One of the most valuable lessons a child can learn is to willingly choose to say “No” to some purchases - even if they want it. Do not give them money every time they want it - this teaches them that there is a bottomless supply - when there isn’t. 3. It Is Important To Save. Besides saving for something that they really want, which is a good reason in itself, teach them to save for unexpected things. For instance, if they receive a regular allowance, or, are working after school and earning some money on their own, teach them to put aside a regular percentage — say 10-15%.
4. Establish A Budget. Once your child is receiving a regular amount of money, you will want to show them how to plan for a wise use of that money. Help them to know how to set money aside for basically three different things: money to spend now, money for special purchases that require savings, and long-term savings. 6. Teach Them About Credit Cards. Credit cards and checking accounts are similar in that they provide ease of purchase, but without the necessity of carrying cash. Your children only see you handing over the plastic, or another piece of paper. But they never see that cash is involved — it is behind the scenes to them. Show them how that you must pay monthly for both and that you should never buy more than what you can afford - except for some larger purchases - because the bills for it will come! 7. Give Regularly To Good Causes. Probably one of the greatest joys that a child can have in the use of their own money is the joy that comes from willingly giving their money to causes greater than themselves. By learning to give some of their money often to causes such as their church, or a charity, they learn that their money can be a blessing to others.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol, or find a furry friend to adopt
Integrative therapy for you and your dog The most recent issue of The Atlantic Monthly features an article called “The Triumph of New-Age Medicine” by David H. Freedman. The gist of this informative article is how mainstream medicine (Harvard, Yale, Duke and the Mayo Clinic) is adopting alternative healing practices into their integrative medical-research clinics. For many years any alternative practice was touted as quackery, slammed as a waste of money, dangerous or scary because it was not approved by the FDA. Lately, however, the word in those hallowed halls is that it works. Part of that acceptance is because mainstream medicine is failing. Says Elizabeth Blackburn, biologist at the University of California at San Francisco, ”Modern medicine was formed around successes in fighting infectious disease ... we could find out what the agent was and attack it medically.” Now, because of these advances, we live longer and the chronic diseases are what do us in — cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Blackburn continues, “We need to prevent and slow the onset of these diseases and we know ways of doing that.” What are the ways? Healthy diet, more exercise and measures to reduce stress. While mainstream, medicine focuses on the quick fix, alternative therapies focus on lifestyles, feelings and attitudes emphasizing stress reduction, healthier eating, exercise and encouraging a belief in selfhealing. OK, what does this have to do with dogs? All animals are born with a tremendous capacity to heal. In fact, most (up to 80%) dogs that experience a temporary illness will overcome the illness without costly

(R.M.Clemmons, DVM, University of Florida) While traditional medicine is extremely valuable in diagnosing and treating acute disease, it’s the alternative approaches that address the treatment of chronic immune disease and cancer via longterm changes in “life-style”. Yes, your dog has a life style. Life style for dog means what he eats — does he eat cheap, bagged food from the grocery or does he eat a variety of fresh meats, fruits, grain and vegetables. What kind of exercise does he get — does he run freely on grass or swim in the ocean or does he plod around the block on concrete. Does he sit alone all day, get his bowl of kibble when you return from work and then sit alone all evening while you go out to play? Or, does ride shotgun when you do your errands and go visiting with friends? Does he have something to do, something to think about — does your dog run agility, is he
a therapy dog or does he carry the mail back from the mailbox? The alternative approach to well being supports and encourages a brighter, dogcentric approach to health. It includes hands-on therapies of massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. It includes energetic therapies such as Reiki, a hand on healing therapy for mind, body and spirit. It includes gentle therapeutic adjustments with herbs, essential oils, vitamins and supplements. The ideal solution is to combine the best of both allopathic and alternative medicine to offer your dog the best chances of returning to health. If your Best Friend breaks his leg, he needs to be taken to an emergency facility to have it diagnosed and “set”. Once done, then the patient needs to heal, by whatever means supports that best. Sometimes that’s more than just a pill. Sometimes it’s looking at healing in a whole new way.

• Puppeteer Hobey Ford will be at ARTworks for one show June 29 at 6 p.m., as part of the Beaufort County Public Library’s “World Tales.” Hobey’s intricate shadow puppetry work and creation of the original rod puppets, the “Foamies,” have earned him a place on stages across the world. Hobey’s performances incorporate a variety of puppetry styles including Bunraku, rod, marionettes, “Foamies”, and shadow puppetry. Hobey adapts folk tales from various cultures for many of his performances, always adding a special “Golden Rod” twist. He uses his own voice to create characters and sound effects, tell stories, and sing.
