Beaufort paving projects to close lanes
WHAT’S INSIDE?
With an out-of-area paving project cancelled, the S.C. Department of Transportation’s contractor is able to tackle Beaufort projects sooner than originally scheduled. North Street in downtown Beaufort likely will be patched and paved this week, beginning at its eastern end at New Street. Charles Street, already the site of construction with new traffic signals
being installed, will follow, according to the flexible schedule of paving contractor Preferred Materials Inc. of Savannah. The work likely will cause temporary lane closures and traffic delays. Alternate routes are recommended when possible, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said. The work includes: • Battery Creek Road from Oak Haven
to Mossy Oaks Drive. • North Street in downtown Beaufort, from East Street to Bay Street. • Charles Street from Bay Street to Boundary Street, with work anticipated to start March 19, though possibly sooner. Dadson said, “We’ll continue installing the new streetlights and the traffic signal project on Charles Street should be done soon.”

School presents 10th annual scholarship Beaufort Academy and the Thomas H. Horton, Jr. Memorial Scholarship committee announced the 10th annual scholarship recipient, junior Tucker Langehans. Tom Horton was a beloved teacher and coach at Beaufort Academy for 23 years. In 2003, Mr. Horton passed away, leaving a legacy behind at the school. He was also a son, a brother, and an uncle. His family established the Thomas H. Horton Jr. Memorial Scholarship in 2004 to memorialize his life, and commemorate his contributions to the development of the minds and characters of students. Due to Mr. Horton’s love of travel, the scholarship is designated to give Beaufort Academy students a chance to participate in a summer study abroad program. Tucker, the 2014 recipient, will be traveling to England as a student at The Oxford Prep Experience. During the last nine years, the scholarship has allowed recipients the chance to study abroad in a variety of locations including England, Italy, Scotland, Switzerland, Spain, France, Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. With a creative spirit, a giant heart, and the sense of humor required for a life devoted to teenagers, Tom

dedicated his time and his talents to the students, parents, and teachers of Beaufort Academy. He taught his students much more than can be gleaned from books and assignments; he helped them to a greater appreciation and understanding of art and literature, an honest concern for and sensitivity to
others, a willingness to work as a team member, and an awareness of the world beyond the South Carolina Lowcountry. Understanding that travel is itself a great teacher, Tom spent many summers trekking through Italy, France, Germany, and England, sharing his passion and knowledge with B.A. students.

Shelter receives 4,000 pounds of food Tuesday, March 4, the Beaufort County Animal Shelter received 4,000 pounds of cat and dog food after winning a competition on Facebook. “We are very grateful for this amount of food, but we also know how much other shelters need food too, so we are going to share some of the winnings,” said Beaufort County Animal Shelter Director Tallulah Trice. On Wednesday, March 5, Maranatha Farm Animal Rescue arrived at the Beaufort County Animal Shelter to take some food. Then later in the day, food was taken to the Tabby House in Beaufort and the Hilton Head Humane Association for their feral cat program. The Facebook competition was sponsored by Doggiefood.com and Nature’s Variety.

County animal shelter makes a difference in 2013 In 2013, the Beaufort County Animal Shelter took in more than 4,500 animals, but with the help of staff, social media and the Tabby House, more animals were adopted and returned to owners compared to 2012. Last year, there were also 18 percent fewer animals euthanized at the shelter compared to 2012. Of the 4,537 animals that came to the shelter, 1,436 were transferred to other
shelters or pet adoption organizations, 653 were returned to their owner, up 41 percent from 2012, and 741 were adopted, up 31 percent from 2012. The Tabby House, a cat adoption center started in 2012 by the county, helped the adoption rate improve in 2013 due to the center finding new homes for 230 cats. Without the volunteer foster families and volunteers who facilitate
all operations of the Tabby House, the county shelter would not have saved 58 percent of the felines. “The Animal Shelter underwent some significant changes in 2013, but one thing that didn’t change was the staff working hard to make sure more animals were going back to their own home or finding a new home,” said Beaufort County Animal Shelter Director Tallulah Trice.
The 26-year-old Beaufort man injured in last Friday night’s shooting incident at a Detour Rd home has been arrested on multiple drug and weapon charges. Marvin Huggins was arrested March 11 upon his release from Beaufort Memorial Hospital, where he was being treated for gunshot injuries he sustained on the night of March 7. Huggins was brought to the hospital last Friday by a 30-year-old female acquaintance who advised that she had been with him when he was shot. She reported they had been at a house party at 144 Detour Rd that night, and were standing at her vehicle preparing to leave when she heard gunshots. Upon realizing that Huggins had been hit, she transported him to the emergency room for treatment. As ER staff was assisting Huggins onto a stretcher, a handgun fell out of Huggins’ pants. Also found on Huggins’ person as he was being treated were quantities of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Once released and medically cleared, Huggins was placed under arrest and

transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center where he was also served with an unrelated, outstanding warrant for Failure to Stop for Blue Lights. The investigation into the shooting incident remains active, and no suspect(s) or motive has been identified. The Sheriff ’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact either Investigator Sgt. C. Wilson at 843-255-3409 or Crimestoppers.
Suspect turns herself in on homicide charge
The woman wanted in connection with the death of a 2-year-old child has been arrested.
LaQuana Chere Chisolm, 26, turned herself in to Sheriff ’s Office investigators at 6 p.m. on March 7. She was wanted on one count of Homicide by Child Abuse for the death of her boyfriend’s daughter, 2-year-old Phylicia Anaya Garry. Garry was pronounced dead at noon last Thursday at MUSC, where she had been airlifted for a traumatic head injury sustained while in the care of Chisolm on the night of March 4. Chisolm initially reported that the child had fallen off a bed, but later admitted that she had struck the child in the head with a dumbbell. Medical care for Garry was not sought until more than three hours after she was injured, and only after a family member came home and discovered Garry unconscious and unresponsive on the couch. Chisolm was originally charged with Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child for which she was released on bond last Wednesday night. Following Garry’s death, investigators upgraded Chisolm’s charge to Homicide and sought her for re-arrest. Chisolm is being held at the Beaufort County Detention Center where she will remain pending a bond hearing.

ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH There is absolutely no motion you can make with your wrist with a manual toothbrush that is going to be better than the circular motion of a rotary toothbrush. Secondly, the small head of the rotary brush gets into tighter places than the larger head of the manual brush. Thirdly, the average person brushes for 37 seconds. The rotary brush has a timer and if one brushes the lower teeth for a minute and the uppers for a minute, I will assure you it will be much more thorough.

In attempting this series on how we make decisions, I skimmed the surface of the most nebulous and slipperiest of examples: romance. The difficulties are the same, however, in all areas of life when it comes to resolving personal dilemmas. The research presented in Parts I and II demonstrated that hard wiring, that we’re not even aware of is shading our decisions — hard wiring that’s helpful when we need to avoid getting bogged down in a maze of emotionalism, or an excess of options. It’s not so helpful when we want to step outside of ourselves and our own habitual thought patterns. Fascinating stuff, but when we reach the bottom of the intellectual barrel, it seems that while research can tell us what we ARE doing, it can’t necessarily tell us WHAT to do. That is the land of the mystics, or at the opposite end of the spectrum, those that score high on personality tests for dominance — the decision makers at the upper echelon of the world. Some people pray when it comes to decisions, depending on God in even the smallest of life’s events, such as the random loss of an item around the house. If you’re a person of little faith, you might want to consider the speakers on the acclaimed video, “What the Bleep do we Know?” who postulate that quantum physics could be the method through which prayers are answered. God and science can hold hands quite nicely in the minds of some. Others look to a quieting of the mind before even considering a critical decision. I once heard that to meditate is to learn, “to wait on nothing.” Some look to intuition, or a gut feeling. “The gut and brain make the same hormones, which are chemical messengers, and they share receptor sites for these chemicals,” according to Larry Dossey,
Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon
M.D. So why shouldn’t we allow a gut feeling to lead us along? We have all seen the war of the mind and the gut played out in a movie at one time or another--to a character’s detriment. We watch as someone walks into an isolated area with a killer, despite that person feeling an obvious sense of imminent danger. In the few seconds they have to decide, the mind may be advising against the agitation of the gut. After all, you can’t just be rude and take off running, can you? The scream of the gut, quickly becomes a literal scream. Other times, our gut is simply churning in response to how the present so reminds us of the past, a time we made a mistake, and as a result we dodge a necessary decision, or fumble it. Great leaders slide back and forth on the continuum noted at the outset. At one end of the spectrum, wherein the sage on the mountain resides, the mystic, you may be strongly advised to a serenity of the spirit before all else: “The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water,” a Cameroonian saying. Without that quiet heart, writer P.L. Travers tells us the “spark of instructive fire” to be found in a half-heard conversation, a dream, a random phrase from a song you can’t get out of your head, can’t really be heard. At the other end of the line, facts, deliberation, and experience are more the rule. No matter which end of the continuum you personally tend to persist in, the trick to making good decisions is being able to distinguish between emotionalism and facts. To use passion, not be used by it.

What fun is seeing the bottom before jumping? By Cherimie Crane Weatherford
In the harrowing heat of an unforgiving Mississippi summer, swimming holes were not only a respite from soaring temperatures but also an undeniable microcosm of the challenges in life. Traveling at impressive speeds on gravel-roughened feet, we ran through thickets, thorns and thousands of heat forsaken blades of grass in pursuit of even one dunk in the magical murky water. As kids we were blissfully ignorant of what lies beneath, caring not what swims across and weighing the consequences of parental wrath against the impending adventure of blindly jumping into the comfort of the unknown. The saga of the forbidden swimming hole continued summer after sweltering summer. We snubbed the safety of chlorine, the whimsy of water parks and no sprinkler system, no matter how impressive, could deter our focus. The swimming hole was nestled at the bottom of a well-traveled foothill in deep south Mississippi, full of bass, brim, most species of snake and, at just the right time, layered with the ever-so-sticky frog eggs. To me, it was the essence of summer, to Momma it was the prelude
to many a visit to the ER. It was an impossible task to mask a dunk in the dirty water — the tell tale mud in the ears or twigs in my matted mane made even the most creative of explanation pale in the light of the obvious. The summer battle waged on, worth every solitary stand. Cherimie As age set in and blissful ignorance Crane Weatherford turned to sudden acceptance of potential danger, the waters still drew me in, just less often and with bated hesitation. Funny how something so mindless morphs into a parody of life. The mystery of what lies beneath, the mistrust of what swims across and the inevitable effort necessary for an impending Momma interrogation increased as the urge to leap lessened. The thicket grew less disturbed, the frog eggs hatched in place, and as time went on the swimming hole seemed to sit quietly like an awkward soul at a summer social. Organized events in contained chlorine took precedence as the war of muddy water subsided. Soon enough, life took me to farther lands, more expansive pastures and all too often much murkier
waters. Drawing from the memories of blindly jumping for the simple sake of jumping, I take risk after calculated risk, sinking almost as much as I swim but swimming nonetheless. Dodging frog eggs, respecting predatory encounters and accepting the occasional twig in matted hair, I jump. Maybe it is a soulful attempt at recapturing the magic of that first summer splash or maybe I swallowed too many frog eggs. Regardless, the familiar urge lives uncontested. Business ownership is much like my days in muddy waters, less soothing on many occasions but the decadent draw and the desire to navigate the unknown keeps my time-matured interest and life-toughened feet at the ready. More intrinsic the appeal and more complicated the consequence, I do the unpopular. My little business is set to expand. Greater risk, admittedly murkier waters and no doubt higher temperatures lay ahead. Plenty of safer waters abound than building a retail business in the dead heat of the wonder of the World Wide Web. Perhaps caution would serve me well, perhaps maintaining only one career would suffice. It is possible I could happily soak in the safer waters, but what fun is seeing the bottom prior to jumping?
So, here’s the deal... By Takiya Smith
At the beginning of the year, I sat down to re-evaluate my life. I wanted to prioritize what was necessary and categorize what could wait. I took the entire first week of the year off to rest, plan out my next steps in business, refocus my prayer life and spend some time with my kids. During this time, what was planned to only be a week turned into about two months as I allowed God to order my steps and show me exactly what was a priority. During the first week, because of time off, I was free to pick up both of my kids from their schools so they didn’t have to ride the bus home or be shuffled off to after-care while I worked late nights. With no time constraints to get back to work, it was a leisure to hang out at the waterfront for ice cream or head over to Pigeon Point Park to run around, play and be silly. Even after getting home, the ease of sitting down to go over my son’s homework was stress-free without the interruption of my cell phone beeping, chiming and ringing with the sounds of appointment requests or inquiries. At the top of my “priority list” was to hire a personal assistant, and as soon as that was done, phones and schedules were now
non-existent in my world. As my week off neared to a swift end, it was during this time that I truly began to realize just how much I desired and longed to be “at home.” I enjoyed getting up to cook and sit down to a hot breakfast with my kids. I looked forward to our morning chats on the drive to school. I loved coming home to a quiet house to sit in silence as I let the peace of God flood my house and heart in prayer and bible study. It felt great to start dinner and have it prepped and ready at a decent hour rather than our “every man for himself ” free-for-all of the cabinets and fridge that happened more often than not on regular busy nights. More importantly, it melted my heart to see my 10 year old’s face light up everyday that I was free to pick him up from school. To top it off, my 16 year old and I became closer than close with our daily routine of hitting happy hour at Sonic for cherry and cranberry limeades, and peanut M&M’s from the dollar store. A discovery had been made, direction had been given and a change was on the horizon. This entrepreneur was about to embark on a new path to success and it was simply, yet fulfillingly, called motherhood. Somewhere, in the midst of
Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques.com
beauty and business, I had not forgotten it nor neglected it but had unintentionally miscategorized it. Next to God, it was my Number 1 priority and He was beautifully reminding me of that. No home or house is perfect but each family possesses a unique aspect of individuality that should be inspected, examined, explored and accessed. As I began to listen to my heart guiding my desires, I heard the call and need of my children wanting their mother. My son was struggling in math and my daughter was coping with having to “grow up” too soon while attempting to take on responsibilities that were mine that she somehow felt were hers — tasks such as assisting her younger brother with homework, cooking dinner and even offering to help me pay bills with her own hard earned money. None the less, while I raise strong, independent and responsible children, this is not exactly what I had in mind nor intended to happen for them.
So, here’s the deal: Three months in and this “mompreneur” has prioritized a life of family first, business second and all else one day at a time. Many of you may have noticed my decreased hours at work, a shift in structure of the business and a column here and there. However, my dear friends, I am going nowhere. Balance was of the utmost importance and I have found that I can do it all with relevant respect to each of my assigned tasks and talents. I am still taking and picking up my kiddos daily at school, my son has brought his grades up two levels, every Monday is still happy hour at Sonic with my daughter, and after homework every evening is still a family dinner time together. In the midst of it all, the businesses are still prospering, the release of my second book is on the way, and coming in April I have a splendid, new and exciting surprise just for you all. I told you, beauty is my business — but I’m a mom first!

compassionate beaufort communities
United Way of the Lowcountry exemplifies compassion Many of us think of United Way of the Lowcountry as a community investment nonprofit that helps fund programs for partner agencies such as CAPA, CODA, Hope Haven, and many others. However, they also act as an impact agency for people in need and their helpline is a resource. At times, the helpline is able to coordinate help for someone in need through services offered by partner agencies. At other times, direct assistance is provided. On a typical week, between 25-35 calls come in to the helpline, while 10-
15 people walk into the United Way office for help. The stories shared here exemplify some of the work United Way of the Lowcountry does. Truly destitute people come into the United Way in desperate circumstances. One homeless man came in because his wife made $4 over the public assistance level and he couldn’t provide for their children, so he wanted to know if there was a “drop-off ” location he could take his children to so they could be fed. He felt he had to sacrifice the parental bond to give his children a better life.
In another instance, a rape victim had no safe place to stay and the CODA (domestic abuse) shelter was full, so United Way (which had been contacted by Hope Haven, the rape crisis center) arranged for her to stay in a low-cost motel for a night and gave her funds for bus transportation to stay with friends and relatives away from the area. These acts of compassion were possible because citizens in this area help fund the United Way and its member agencies. Without the resources supplied by United Way, where would
that man have taken his children or what would that young lady have done? Compassion made the difference and it appears in many different forms. Contact CompassionateStory@gmail. com if you hear of, see, or are involved in such acts of caring and sharing. We all need to share in the conversation about what makes Beaufort a compassionate city and publicizing such stories is one way to do it. Visit Facebook, Compassionate Beaufort Communities if you want to learn more about this and other programs that are being initiated.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
The Fordham behind Fordham Market By Lanier Laney
I interviewed Angus Duncan Fordham and here are his answers, in his own words.
M
y name is Angus Duncan Fordham. To most I am called Duncan, as my Dad was also Angus. Now that I have been blessed with the senior reaches of adulthood, I am equally known by Angus. Angus and Duncan reflect my Scottish heritage. My mother was a McLeod so I am very pleased with my bloodline and having three tartans to fashion someday in the next millennium. The Fordham linage heralds from England and I am equally proud of another European heritage. My mother was a McLeod-Chandler, the Chandler clan being from Boston. The Chandlers were maritime sailmakers from way back and outfitted many of the sea going vessels of the time. In a factory in New York City and later Savannah, Ga., canvas products were fabricated not only for the maritime trade but also for the military during the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. (One great-grandfather was making tents for the Union Army and the sheiks in Saudi Arabia while my other great-grandfather wore the uniform of the Confederate militia.) The first canvas bases in major league baseball were fabricated in this factory. My McLeod grandparents lived on the farm in Seabrook where granddad was Angus Fordham and his wife Sally with their two grandchildren, Ada, 5, and Mariah, 7. a second generation farmer. He was a vegetable farmer and grew many varieties to “the city” and live on Bay Street where .22 rifle before 10 years of age and a 9 shot and shipped his fresh crops up and down she could watch the occasional horse .22 cal. handgun probably before 15 years, and my own automobile at 16. the entire Eastern seaboard. He was carriages pass by. The Beaufort river was our playground I graduated from The Citadel in 1962. followed by three more generations of family farmers. Today, many of the old where we spent our time bogging, sailing My major accomplishments there were, barns and buildings still stand in disrepair, and swimming from the dock in front of one, survival and graduate with my class; and two, a member of the undefeated but they are a reminder of the glory days the house across Bay Street. I attended all 12 years of grammar and Citadel rifle team NRA Intercollegiate, SC of Lowcountry truck farming. My mother was born in the wonderful home that my high school in this town. I always had a job and Southern Conference championships. Soon after graduation, I had my first cousin still lives in and he and his family at the hardware store. One summer, my main duty was to sit in the front window real job, a platoon leader in the U.S. Army. completely renovated a few years back. My father, Angus Fordham, Sr., was on Bay Street and operate the big display I am proud to have served two years in born in Alamo, Ga., and settled in of Lionel trains. There were fun occasions West Germany with the U.S. Army’s Fifth Beaufort in the 1920’s. Angus was the first when I would work on the Seabrook farm Corps and in the Army’s Ready Reserve in his family to attend college after a friend with some of my cousins. (The farm pay for a total of six years. In the mid-1960s, I joined my family in lured him to Clemson A&M to play was also much better!) A good memory was at lunch time when all of us “hands” the hardware business. In 1969 we opened football and baseball. As jobs were scarce at the time during The Great Depression, assembled in the country store across the a second location when my brother in law, he first worked in North Carolina. railroad tracks and dined straight from the Paul Trask Sr., built the Beaufort Plaza Wanting to return to Beaufort, he ran for wood box on salted smoke herring along Shopping Center.

During this era, I met a beautiful elected, but now indeed had a job. As an into the big glass jars and were treated to a Johnny Cake. young lady, a dairy farmer’s daughter Army reservist, he was called for WWII My first loves were the river and hunting from Anderson, SC. Sally was teaching and left for the Pacific Theater and ended in the plentiful fields and woods. I was third grade in Beaufort and I am still his Army career in 1945. He returned to Beaufort and in 1946 gifted my first 13 ft. bateau powered by a 7 blessed with her presence after 45 years opened Fordhams hardware store ½ hp Scott-Atwater on my 10th birthday. of marriage.

multitude of civic activities. Notably to me, I am a past president and a Rotarian for 49 years, and also was delighted to be a past commodore of the Beaufort Water festival. In 2003 a local realtor brought me an unsolicited sales contract to sell the hardware store property at 701 Bay Street. I was pleased with the offer and the thought of exiting the business world and at least semi-retire was extra pleasing. With mixed emotions, I closed the doors of the family business after 57 years only to find out later that there was not going to be a sale after all and I had a 16,000-squarefoot empty building. At the suggestion of a business friend and with assistance from a business consultant, I reopened the building in 2004 in the name of Fordham Market. My business plan was to lease space to medium to upscale retail business, local artists and artisans. We have been in operation for 10 years now and our slogan says it all, “A World of Shopping Under one Historic Roof.” We now operate with a fine coterie of tenants and staff. Downtown Beaufort is a great place to do business. It has a dynamic pulse of retail business, restaurants, art and professional people. There have been some slow times over the years but nothing like what some writer penned recently, that Downtown Beaufort was once “almost a ghost town with boarded-up store fronts.” This is not accurate. I know because I have been here. One reason we have weathered the likes of recessions is our pristine location. Downtown is completely surrounded on one side by magnificent antebellum homes and on the other side by the Intracoastal Waterway. I have retreated to my second story office and hope that our community leaders will continue to make the right decisions for this pearl of a town. I will end with this thought: Until the day that this town finally bites the bullet and removes the parking meters downtown, we will never reach our final destination and goal as a totally unique experience in shopping, dining and visiting in a beautiful historic waterfront town. Parking does need to be monitored and that can be done here because it is simple and done all over the world. And, as for a proposed building (or plural) near the downtown marina, I know council will consider, “why build just because there is a place to build?” This area is part of the “pristine” I just mentioned. In fairness, I look forward to seeing the plans being proposed. The good reputation of these planners precede them and they could be convincing. As I near my fourth quarter and my joints need more assistance, I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I am now ready to pass my keys on to the next generation — or maybe to someone who will have some fresh new ideas for this Queen of the Sea Islands!

Regulation wouldn’t hold the early-season high school baseball game. Starting pitcher Carson Gregory and reliever Mattison Pike both excelled from the mound as Beaufort High edged Stratford 5-4 in eight innings. Gregory worked six innings and struck out five Stratford batters before Pike pitched out of a relief role. Pike took over on the mound and helped to lift Beaufort High to the hard-fought win. At the plate, Stephan Baggett paced Beaufort High with a two-hit performance. Baggett was 2-for-
3 with a home run and two runs scored. Gregory helped his cause at the plate, belting a home run for the Eagles.

According to Ms. Bryant: “We all know that schools need all the funding help they can get, and grants are a great way to provide students with learning opportunities they may otherwise not have. This program will give my students another engaging, fun strategy for practicing math fact fluency.” BPS Assistant Academic Administrator Kay Keeler said she was most pleased with the grant and the technology because “it allows students to practice skills at home, expand concepts and apply them more confidently in the classroom. Plus, the software gives us tracking information and performance data that Ms. Bryant can use to drive instruction and that children can use to monitor their own progress.” LADY’S ISLAND MIDDLE • The Lady’s Island Middle School fifth grade team is sponsoring a yard sale on April 26.

Beaufort Elementary earns national recognition Beaufort Elementary School was one of four American schools surprised last Saturday with national awards for its efforts on behalf of an initiative aimed at improving teacher effectiveness and student achievement. The TAP Ambassador Award, which carries a $5,000 prize, was accepted by Principal Gary McCulloch before an audience of more than 1,200 educators and policy leaders at the 14th National TAP Conference in Los Angeles. The award honors a TAP school that has gone beyond its campus to represent the principles of the TAP system and to assist others in the state, region and nation. TAP (The System for Teacher and Student Advancement) is a comprehensive initiative that offers teachers career advancement, professional development, educator evaluation and performancebased compensation. Managed and
supported by the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching, TAP works to improve teacher effectiveness and student achievement in high-need urban, rural and suburban schools and districts across the country. “I thank Gary McCulloch and the entire Beaufort Elementary School faculty for allowing TAP schools to see them in action,” said Dr. Gary Stark, president and chief executive officer of NIET. “Their collaborative spirit and diligence to achieve exemplary growth every year serve as a model for schools in South Carolina and across the country.” NIET said that since adopting TAP in the 2010-11 school year, Beaufort Elementary — a Title I Pre-K through fifth grade school serving more than 600 students — has focused on improving learning for all students by tailoring weekly professional development to specific needs;
creating leadership roles to mentor others through TAP mentor and master teacher positions; implementing TAP’s teacher support and evaluation with rigor; and instituting a competitive compensation system to reward educators for increased skill and student performance. As a result, Beaufort Elementary has received the highest possible value-added score of 5 every year it has been in TAP. That score represents significant student achievement growth compared to similar schools in the state. Test scores show high percentages of student proficiency in English/Language Arts (83 percent), Math (74 percent), Science (72 percent), Social Studies (81 percent), and Writing (75 percent). In 2013, the state rated the school’s growth as “Excellent.” NIET said that Beaufort Elementary staff members share their progress with others who can benefit, welcoming
representatives from other schools to tour the Beaufort campus and watch their strategies at work. Staff members are also featured at TAP national conferences, and their classroom lessons are accessible online for teachers and leaders nationwide. “It’s wonderful to see the teachers and leadership at Beaufort Elementary recognized nationally for the work they’re doing,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “The team spirit and collaboration they demonstrate is aimed at enhancing the learning of Beaufort Elementary’s students, and that is certainly happening.” Beaufort Elementary is the second district school to be honored with a TAP Ambassador Award in the last two years Battery Creek High was one of six TAP Ambassador Award recipients in 2013. In addition, Whale Branch Middle School earned the 2012 TAP Founder’s Award, which included a $50,000 cash prize.
Hobbit Hill shares the love on Valentine’s Day Hobbit Hill Daycare in Shell Point celebrated Valentine’s Day by having the children dress up in their cute fancy clothes. In each classroom, the children brought in Valentines to share them with the other boys and girls. There were many festive decorations, and in the afternoon, the teachers played music while the kids had a big dance party.
Schools team up to win state robotics championship Two Beaufort County high schools teamed up with a Charleston County school last Saturday to win the inaugural 2014 VEX Robotics Championship in Columbia. Whale Branch Early College High, Bluffton High and Palmetto Scholars Academy in North Charleston joined forces to take the state robotics competition’s top prize. The teams worked for months to design, build, program and direct by remote control the robots that competed in the weekend’s highly competitive games. The robots were required to fit inside an 18-inch cube to start the matches, but most grew far outside that envelope once the matches got under way. After a series of two-minute matches throughout Saturday morning, Whale Branch’s “Robo Warriors” were ranked 10th. In the afternoon’s main competition, teams were chosen based on their success in the morning events to compete in a single-elimination tournament to determine a championship team. Whale Branch formed an alliance with 21st-ranked Bluffton and the 11th-ranked “Fembots” from Palmetto Scholars Academy in North Charleston, then the three teams fought their way to the championship. Whale Branch robotics coach Tammy Vaught said her team’s seventh-ranked alliance with Bluffton and Palmetto
Scholars Academy was viewed as a long shot by the VEX crowd because the No. 1 alliance they faced for the championship had dominated their semi-final matchup and scored five times as many points as their opponents. But the alliance featuring the two Beaufort County teams won the best two-of-three championship round. “The kids had a plan, and they executed it perfectly,” Vaught said. “It took all three teams working together to win this state championship.” The goal of robotics competitions is for students to learn engineering, math, marketing, research and leadership skills that will help prepare them for high-tech jobs and future education. “To have two of our district’s high schools win this championship — and to see them win by joining forces with each other and a third school — is more than merely satisfying,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “It demonstrates that our students understand how to work effectively as a team, and those skills will help them in the careers they pursue after they leave school.” The students on the Whale Branch “Robo Warriors” team were: Geordy DelCid; Da’Shawn Smith; Rakeem Pippins; Johnnie Fields; Jerevonte Middleton; Auntarious Butler; Jakob Lambert and Aurora Lopez.
cougar robotics team
The Cougar Robotics Team from Lady’s Island Middle School competed last Saturday in the Palmetto State VEX Championships in Chapin. They struggled with the robot and technical issues all day but the team kept working and improving the robot. They finished the qualification rounds with a 4-4 record and were picked to compete in the Championship Tournament. Their alliance finished 7th overall. There were only six middle school teams that qualified versus 22 high school teams.

drives a Paris tour bus, has just proposed to his true love, the German stewardess, Greta (Nora Tschirner), when the young French beauty, Cécile (Louise Monot) pulls up beside his bus on her bicycle — and, in short order, Paolo, following some very bad advice from his friend, Derek (Paddy Considine), finds himself with a German fiancée, a French “wife”, two Australian children who call him “Papa” and his life upside-down.
“You can’t help but fall in love with ‘Girl on a Bicycle’, the most surprising romantic comedy of the year,” said Amy R.

Penn Center presents Harlem on My Mind exhibit A groundbreaking visual arts exhibition opens at the York W. Bailey Museum at Penn Center on March 21, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. Harlem on My Mind: 1900-1968, presented by the I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium at SC State University, has only been seen twice in the 45 years since its creation in 1969, first at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and then in 2007, at the Stanback Museum. Long before Harlem became one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the real estate market of Manhattan, it was a metaphor for African American culture at its richest. Harlem on My Mind is the classic record of Harlem life during some of the most exciting and turbulent years of its history, a beautiful and poignant reminder of a powerful moment in American history. The exhibition, created in 14
1968 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, records the struggle to establish an urban black culture in 20th century industrialized America. Documenting life in Harlem from 1900 to 1968, it surveys the changing character of Harlem during each decade, the continuing relevance of South-North problems, the major historical events, and the leading figures associated with Harlem, particularly in literature, theater, politics,
music, art and commerce. By moving through the exhibition galleries, it is possible to witness history unfold and to sense what people might have thought and felt at those times: from white to black Harlem at the beginning of the century, the jazz age of the twenties, depression and hard times in the thirties, World War II at home and abroad, frustration in the fifties and militancy and identity in the sixties. The exhibition opening at Penn Center contains selections from the collection donated to the Stanback Museum by the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, where it was housed following the closing of the exhibition at the Met. The exhibition features work by some of Harlem’s most treasured photographers, among them James Van Der Zee and Aaron Siskind and
the island news | march 13-19, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com
includes photographic murals of Harlem’s literary lights, its politicians, its musicians and everyday people who gave life to this legendary community. Harlem on My Mind will be on exhibit at the York W. Bailey Museum from March 21 until May 3, 2014. The photographic exhibit is suitable for all audiences, is historically and educationally significant and provides an enriching glimpse of a proud community and its people whose likeness has been captured in-perpetuity. This is the first exhibition presented through collaboration between Penn Center’s York W. Bailey Museum and South Carolina State’s I. P. Stanback Museum & Planetarium. The exhibit shares its opening reception on Friday, March 21 with a ceremony at the Arnett House on Penn’s historic grounds beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the grand opening of
Penn Center’s Welcome Center starting at 6 p.m. Arnett House, built in 1937 by St. Helena islanders and Penn School students, was used as housing for student teachers from South Carolina State College working in schools within the county. The Welcome Center grand opening will take place immediately after the Arnett House ceremony. The Welcome Center is conveniently located in The SHED at Penn Center next to the museum. The center offers the largest selection of books on Gullah Geechee culture and Penn Center’s history, artwork by area artisans — sweetgrass baskets, original paintings, Gullah wood-burnings, pottery — and Penn Center souvenirs. The public is invited to attend all the events on Friday, March 21. For more information, call 843-838-2432 or email info@ penncenter.com.

A preview of Jules Massenet’s opera ‘Werther’ By Alan Schuster
When the Opera Comique in Paris lived up to its name by declining to accept Jules Massenet’s “Werther” as being too melancholy for its joiede-vivre patrons, the gloomtolerant Viennese jumped at the opportunity and premiered it in 1892. Ten years later, after “Werther” had become the rage throughout most of Europe, the Comique finally laughed it off and added it to their repertoire. In the next 50 years it was performed there more than 1,300 times! Sir Denis Forman, a refreshingly irreverent opera author, considers “Werther” to be one of the simplest stories in all of opera. He short-forms it this way: “It’s the one where a young poet falls in love with a girl who is about to marry someone else. He says that unless she leaves her fiance he will kill himself. She doesn’t. He does.” Principal cast: Werther, a young poet; Charlotte, daughter of the Bailiff; Sophie, her younger sister; Bailiff, their father; and Albert, engaged to Charlotte. Act I: The widowed Bailiff teaches his younger children a Christmas carol in July. Charlotte dresses for a ball. Since her intended, Albert, is away, she is escorted by the gloomy Werther
who arrives and watches as Charlotte prepares her young siblings’ supper. He greets Charlotte and they leave for the ball. Albert returns unexpectedly after a long trip. Disappointed that she went to the ball with Werther, she is reassured and consoled by Sophie. He leaves after promising to return in the morning. Werther and Charlotte return very late, and he is now enamoured of her. His declaration of love is interrupted when Albert returns. To Werther’s despair, Charlotte recalls how she promised her dying mother she would marry Albert. Act II: It is three months later, and Charlotte and Albert are now married. They walk happily to church, followed by the disconsolate Werther. Later, when Charlotte exits the church, he speaks to her of their first meeting. Charlotte begs him not to visit her again until Christmas Day. Werther contemplates suicide as he encounters Sophie, but the tearful girl does not understand his distressing behavior. Albert now realizes that Werther loves Charlotte. Act III: Charlotte is at home alone on Christmas Eve. She spends time reading Werther’s letters to herself, wondering how the young poet is and how
dies, Charlotte faints. Outside children are heard singing a Christmas carol. This synopsis courtesy of Opera News.
Jonas Kaufmann plays the title role in Massenet’s “Werther.”
she had the strength to send him away. Suddenly Werther appears, and while he reads her poetry, he realizes that she returns his love. They embrace for a moment, but she quickly bids him farewell. He leaves, again with thoughts of suicide. Albert returns to find his wife distraught. Werther has sent a message to Albert requesting to borrow his pistols, explaining he is going on an extended trip. A servant is sent to deliver the pistols. Charlotte has a terrible premonition and hurries to find Werther. For the brief final act at Werther’s apartment, Charlotte has arrived too late. Werther is dying. She consoles him by declaring her love. He asks for forgiveness. After he
Musical highlights Act I: Werther: “O Nature, pleine de grace” (O nature, full of grace), expressing delight at the country atmosphere with a beautiful aria. Werther, Charlotte duet: “Il faut nous separer” (Our ways divide us). Werther declares his love for her in a fine example of Massenet’s many qualities as a gifted composer. Act II: Werther: “J’aurais sur ma portrine” (I might have held her...) as he now knows that she is married to Albert. It’s fast and tuneful, but ends with his final cry of despair. Act III: Charlotte: The letter scene. “Qui m’auriat dit” (Who could have told me...) finds her reading Werther’s earlier letters, bringing her to the verge of hysteria. This moving scene is almost as powerfully rich as Tatiana’s Letter Scene in “Eugene Onegin.” Charlotte: “Ciel! Werther!” she cries out upon his entry, leading to what is perhaps the best scene in the opera, as they express their mutual love. Werther: “Pourquoi me revellier? (Wake me not...), he asks himself after reading a poem to her about tragic love. Over
time, this has become one of Massenet’s most popular arias. The brief final act — continued without an intermission — brings the lovers together before he dies. Here are a few extractions from a February review of “Werther” by the Wall Street Journal’s Heidi Waleson, one of opera’s more distinguished critics. She calls Jonas Kaufmann’s third act aria “such a real cry of psychic pain that thunderous applause afterward felt like an intrusion on a private moment.” Sophie Koch as Charlotte is complimented for “her focused, laser-like mezzo, with its fast vibrato and dramatic amplitude.” Together, the Met showcases “riveting performances by a pair of stunning leads.” And finally, a somewhat lighter take from The Washington Post’s Anne Midgette: “Werther is about one of those annoying people who persists in nursing an unrealistic crush on an unattainable woman to the point of obsession. Do I know Werther? I used to date Werther!” “Werther” will be shown live at USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, on Saturday, March 15 at 12:55 p.m. Tickets for adults are $22; OLLI members $18; students $15. All seats assigned. Box office opens at noon, or call 521-4145.

Duke Symphony Orchestra returns to Beaufort Longtime Beaufort Memorial Hospital volunteers to chair the hospital fundraiser Drum roll, please... The Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation recently announced that Steve and Vicki Mix have agreed to serve as honorary chairs for the Foundation’s annual Duke Symphony Orchestra Concert on Saturday, March 22, 2014. Steve and Vicki have been longtime supporters of both Beaufort Memorial Hospital and Duke University and have been involved in the concert throughout its 11 year run. “We always enjoy the concert as well as hosting some of the students at our home that weekend,” says Vicki. “My husband, my daughter, son-in-law and my sisterin-law are all graduates of Duke so it’s easy — and special — for us to bond with the students. We are proud of the Duke students for volunteering their talents to our cancer program and our hospital, so it’s really a win-win.” Proceeds from the concert support BMH’s Healing Arts Program at the Keyserling Cancer Center and in the main hospital. As a special treat this year, the USCB chorus will join them on two of the pieces. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students,” said Vic Varner, USCB music instructor and choral director. “How often

do you get to have a 60-piece orchestra backing you up?” Steve and Vicki are no strangers to Beaufort Memorial. In addition to helping make the Duke Symphony Orchestra Concert a success, they have co-chaired the Valentine Ball and been loyal supporters of the BMH Foundation. Vicki has served on the board of the foundation, following in Steve’s mother’s footsteps. Today, Steve works in the hospital’s outpatient rehab program. An avid lepidopterist (butterfly
collector), Steve even donated his breathtaking display of South American butterflies to BMH’s Healing Arts Program. “We knew the perfect place in the hospital for the butterfly display,” said BMHF Executive Director Alice Moss. “The piece hangs in our Women’s Imaging Center for patients and guests to enjoy while they wait; it is unique, beautiful and soothing.” Steve and Vicki are hoping the community will turn out to support this year’s concert at USCB’s Center for the Arts. Conductor Harry Davidson returns with over 60 Duke students to perform works of well-known and emerging classical composers. “The conductor really engages the audience,” says Vicki. “It adds a lot when he gives you background on the composer and the history of a piece before it is performed. We know this will be a special evening.” General admission tickets are $35. Patron tickets start at $75 and include premium seating and an invitation to the post-concert conductor’s reception. To purchase tickets, visit www. bmhfoundationsc.org or call 843-5225774.

March of Dimes seeking family teams for March For Babies event The March of Dimes invites families from Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties to join March for Babies as a Family Team. Beaufort March for Babies will take place on Saturday, April 12 at 9 a.m. at Naval Heritage Park in Port Royal. March for Babies Family Teams are family members and friends who have had a personal experience with a baby born prematurely. “Family teams are the heart and soul of the March for Babies, and they demonstrate first hand why it is so important to raise awareness and funds
to support vital research that will help prevent premature birth” said Jimmy Boozer, 2014 Beaufort March for Babies Chairman. “We hope many new families will join us this year, and together we will take steps for healthier babies in our community and across the state.” One in every seven babies born in Beaufort County is premature. Premature birth touches nearly 9,000 babies in South Carolina each year. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research
HBF holds annual meeting Making redevelopment work in the historic district through collaboration will be the topic of Historic Beaufort Foundation’s 45th Annual Meeting March 19, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret St. Many more people these days want to live within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and other amenities. This is good news for older downtowns, but can be a headache in historic town centers where new development raises fears of greater height, more traffic, and incompatibility. “Fitting In: Accommodating Growth in Places of Exceptional Historic Character” will be discussed by Mary Means, who has been helping historic communities deal with life in their downtowns for most of her career, as the creator of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Main Street program and heading Mary Means
& Associates, a firm known for “building bridges between plans and people.” Extensive redevelopment plans afoot in the National Historic District, most notably the Downtown Marina Parking Lot and a parking garage are creating questions and concerns. Means will discuss those projects but upfront believes economic development can be accomplished within the context of preservation and that preservation contributes to the economic vitality of communities. The public is invited to participate in HBF’s annual recognition of top preservation projects and preservationists. The program will be followed by a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception. Tickets are $15 and reservations should be made in advance by calling the HBF office at 843379-3331.
to find the causes and preventions of premature birth and providing comfort and information to families with a baby in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Families are encouraged to register their team online by visiting marchforbabies.org or by calling 843571-1776. March for Babies is the March of Dimes’ premier fundraising event benefiting all babies — those born healthy, as well as those who need help to survive and thrive. Funds raised by this March for Babies event also support
research and grants awarded to programs that improve infant and maternal health in South Carolina. This year’s local sponsors are Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Beaufort Pediatrics, Coastal Carolina Hospital and Hargray Communications. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

Raise a flag, or your glass, to this Tuscan wine The Banfi BelnerO label features a knight in armor planting his flag in a vineyard in Tuscany. Plant some of this wine in your glass, it’s New World style with Old World history.
By Celia Strong
So, I found myself recently sitting in a nice restaurant, tasting some wine (wines plural, to be precise). Really, though, just tasting, not drinking. And I was trying hard, in the dim lighting, to see the bottles clearly, especially one of them because I kind of really liked that one and I wanted to make sure I remembered which one is which. After sitting, sipping, squinting to see the bottles, the one I liked seemed to have what looks sort like a weird label. So, I sat, sipped, tasted and squinted some more. Finally, one last squint at the label, I got my nerve up to ask, “Is that a picture of a guy, astronaut kind of guy, holding a flag that he’s planting somewhere?” Looks like an astronaut planting a flag on the moon, claiming it for all of us? Our moon?” But, no, I was completely wrong. Thanks a lot dim lights! But, wrong or not about the label, this is our wine for the week from Italy, Tuscany actually. Tuscany is a region located on the western coast of Italy. If you think of Italy as a boot, because that’s what it is sort shaped like, Tuscany is on the front of the leg, just above the knee. After Piedmont and the Veneto, two more northern regions, Tuscany is the country’s third biggest wine producing region. And, behind Sicily and Apulia, more southern regions, it is the third most heavily planted region. Tuscany is the source for some of Italy’s best known wines: the red wines Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, all based on Sangiovese grapes; Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a white; and Vin Santo, a dessert wine. There are 33 DOC wines made in Tuscany, and nine of the country’s top level DOCG wines. In addition, since the 1970’s, there are “Super Tuscans,” wines of very high quality that do not follow the laws of specific DOCs and DOCGs. Although we have recently discussed the basic history of wine in Tuscany, let’s repeat a few bits and pieces. Repetition is one way to help us all learn more, but information also makes each wine we taste more interesting.
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
Wine in the Tuscan region dates back to the 8th century BC with the Etruscans, a lot further back than many other regions. Being located just to the north of Rome played a huge part in the development of wine in Tuscany. The wine trade of Tuscany was based, back in time, in Florence where a wine guild was established in 1282. This guild regulated how Florentine merchants could sell wines, which wines, and more. Remember the law prohibiting the sale of wine within 100 yards of a church? And no sales to children? Some things have not changed much since the 13th century. And some have. The first recorded mention of Chianti described it as a white wine. Really. In 1685, a Tuscan author wrote a poem, 980 lines long, about the wines of Tuscany. (I have to guess he was doing some serious tasting, as well.) Just after the Napoleonic Wars, at the beginning of the 19th century, Bettino Ricasoli, a statesman, inherited his family’s estate in Broglio, right in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone. Ricasoli worked to improve the estate and the quality of their wines. He traveled in France and Germany, brought back several new grape varieties and new vineyard and winemaking practices. With all his work, though, he found that the three varieties, already at home in Tuscany, did better there — Sangiovese, Cannaiolo and Malvasia. And, you guessed it, Sangiovese is our main grape for this week. Sangiovese is the main variety of Tuscany for many reasons. It is the most widely planted grape in Italy and grows easily and has high yields. The hot, dry climate of Tuscany with its limestone soil, good for drainage, on south facing slopes makes an excellent home for this grape. Sangiovese is thin-skinned, ripens late and produces rich, alcoholic wines that last well. Its wines are fruity and naturally acidic, with aromas that

are not aggressive (cherries, almonds, soil), and pairs well with Italian foods. The majority of Tuscany’s vineyards are located at elevations of 500 to 1,600 feet, and get a lot of direct sun. Even though Sangiovese is Tuscany’s most planted grape, different clones exist, 14 clones actually. Many towns claim their own clone — a result of the grape adapting to specific soils and micro-climates. Also, Sangiovese is very “oak friendly.” Traditional style Sangiovese wines show herbal and bitter cherry notes. Modern style wines from this grape show more fruit flavors, including plums and mulberries, vanilla notes from the oak barrels, and spice flavors. In the case of non-traditional Tuscan wines, including the “Super Tuscans,” the addition of small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah adds smoothness and body to the finished wine. All of which brings us to our winery for this week’s wine: Banfi. Castello Banfi is a family owned estate and winery located in the Brunello area of Tuscany. Banfi operates on the philosophy of blending tradition with innovation. Their estate’s single vineyards are made up of over three dozen different sub-soils. On top of which, they do ongoing research on different clones. Four times the Castello Banfi estate vineyard in Montalcino has been named “Winery of the Year.” Their operations now include many Tuscan
DOCs and DOCGs, other Italian wines, as well as some wines from Chile and Spain. All of which gets us to BelnerO, not a typo. This red wine is spelled “BelnerO.” (Big“B” and big“O.”) This is a proprietary blend, yes a Super Tuscan, sort of. The exact blend varies a bit from year to year, but always mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These are all estate grown grapes, from the stony, calcareous soil of Montalcino’s southern hills. The grapes are fermented in Banfi’s patented temperature controlled French oak barrels. Then, the wine is aged for 14 months more. It is not filtered. (That means we get a bigger textured wine.) The wine is a deep, intense purply red color. It has vanilla, tobacco and coffee aromas with cherry jam and prune fruit scents. The wine is smooth and soft in your mouth, with good tannins and a long, lingering finish. Even though this wine comes from a great Chianti producer, it is a completely different style of Sangiovese, which is the whole point of blending, studying clones and everything else this company works to do. So, we have a new, smooth and wonderfully flavorful wine that pairs well with beef, game, heavy seafood dishes, aged cheeses and friends. And don’t forget the dim lights. You may not be able to see that the label is a knight in armor, planting his flag in a vineyard in Tuscany, but that’s OK. Plant some Banfi BelnerO in your glass, it’s New World style with Old World history. This wine will make your evening. For $24.99. Enjoy!

GROUCHO’S DELI

Beaufort is now fortunate enough to boast its own Groucho’s Deli. The original restaurant was started by Harold “Groucho” Miller in Columbia in 1941, and has been beloved by USC students and graduates for generations.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Integrative therapy for you and your dog By Tracie Korol
The gist of Triumph of New-Age Medicine, an article by David H. Freedman, addresses how mainstream medicine (Harvard, Yale, Duke and the Mayo Clinic) has adopted alternative healing practices into their integrative medicalresearch 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 self-healing.

— 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 supports and encourages a brighter, dog-centric avenue to health. It includes handson therapies of massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. It includes energetic therapies such as Reiki, a hands-on healing therapy for mind, body and spirit. It includes gentle therapeutic adjustments with herbs, essential oils, vitamins and supplements. And oh, by the way, there is a real holistic, AHVMA certified vet in Aiken, just up the road. 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 the best way possible. Sometimes that’s more than just a pill. Sometimes it’s looking at healing in a whole new way.
