County: ‘100 Best’ for young people On Wednesday, Oct. 12, civic, education and business leaders gathered at the Bluffton High School auditorium to watch a live simulcast of the announcement from Washington, D.C. that announced Beaufort County as one of America’s Promise Alliance’s

100 Best Communities for Young People for its initiatives to help young people.

It was Beaufort County’s first win in the national 100 Best, competing against more than 300 communities nominated for this year’s awards.

“The fact that we competed as a county

STRAIGHT TALK: EDUCATION

Watchdog group says SC school funding is way up

By Neil Mellen

Public schools are collecting more money per student than ever before, averaging over $11,700 for each child this year, though less than half of it reaches the classroom.

That’s according to a new report issued by the South Carolinians for Responsible Government Foundation.

The group’s annual “Education Funding in South Carolina” research paper provides details on public school funding and spending, complied from raw data released by local districts and state agencies.

“It’s a simple readable guide to a complicated subject,” explained Randy Page, President of the SCRG Foundation. “Parents and taxpayers need to know that public schools spend just forty four cents per dollar on instruction, and that school

spending grew by over $400 dollars per-student last year. Most don’t have the time to scour through hundreds of spreadsheets across dozens of complicated government websites to figure that out.”

The 10-page report includes districtby-district figures for funding in each of the state’s 83 traditional public school districts, as well as long-term trends detailing the size and scope of that money.

“The only thing more startling than the absolute size of taxpayer spending on public education is the complicated way in which it is structured,” observed Neil Mellen, Research Director for the Foundation and author of the 201112 edition. “With over 200 separate laws, programs, provisions, acts and regulations governing the money, South Carolina is home to one of the nation’s

most complex school funding systems.”

Mellen says that complexity is part of the reason so little of the money reaches students in the classroom.

“It takes an awful lot of bureaucracy just to keep up the books for all that money.”

The paper also reviews the impact of Act 388, a controversial move designed to “swap” local property taxes for additional state sales taxes to fund schools. Using numbers from the State Department of Education, the report shows that local funding for schools actually grew by $2.7 billion since Act 388 was passed, despite widespread claims the measure led to deep cuts.

The full report can be found online at www.SCRGFoundation.org.

Neil Mellen is the Communications Director, South Carolinians for Responsible Government Foundation.

Firefighters contain two house blazes Two house fires back to back Thursday, Oct. 6, morning kept Beaufort/Port Royal Firefighters busy, but prompt action prevented injuries and minimized damage, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said.

The first fire occurred in the 400 block of Meritta Avenue just before 7 a.m. According to firefighters, the fire started in the fireplace as the homeowner was trying to burn construction debris produced by some non-permitted remodeling work.

The second blaze came at 9:11 a.m. at the Lafayette Squares Apartments in the 2200 block of Lafayette Street. Fire crews found a kitchen fire that threatened to expand in an apartment of Building D. Firefighters rescued two dogs from the apartment under heavy smoke conditions. Paramedics from Beaufort County EMS took care of both pets and ensured they did not suffer from smoke inhalation. Both animals are healthy.

The Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross responded to

the apartment fire to assist the tenants with replacing their personal items. In responding to that blaze, Beaufort/Port Royal Firefighters were assisted by units from the Burton Fire District, Beaufort County EMS and the City of Beaufort Police Department.

Leaving one or more pots unattended on a stove increases the possibility of

a fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association, kitchen fires are the leading cause of house fires.

With colder weather coming, homeowners should ensure their fireplace is serviced and maintained between seasons.

Never use a fireplace to burn anything but natural firewood or other fuels approved for that specific type of fireplace.

economic down turn from the $85,000 to be wasted?

3. Beaufort County taxpayers issued bonds to construct facilities for USCB and TCL campuses on U.S. 278. $75 million of funding is diverted from school and county operations to retire these bonds. Now USCB wants to insult Beaufort taxpayers by considering a change in name.

4. Beaufort provides other major support. A committee recently raised funds for more than 50 scholarships

for a new arts program at the Beaufort campus.

5. There will many be many more costs for sign changes, new stationery and who knows what else. Have these been considered?

Apparently USCB’s administration and board believe a name change is more important than using available funds for education and community enrichment.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reasons USCB should not change names

Would you believe that the University of South Carolina Beaufort has recently signed an $85,000 contract for market research concerning a name change? Why? For what benefit?

Reasons to keep the name: 1. USCB was founded in downtown Beaufort which is nationally recognized for history and beauty.

2. How many qualified students could receive scholarships during this

Owen K. Hand, CFP® CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ H. Ronald Tanner, CFP® CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

Most people think that a root canal is somehow taking the root away from the tooth. The fact is there is a hollow canal from tip of root to the crown which houses the nerve and blood supply.

A root canal removes that infected nerve and blood supply.

A bad name is given to root canals when due to infection, proper anesthesia can’t be achieved. Usually, having a patient placed on antibiotics four or five days prior to root canal therapy solves that problem (and the pain)!

Wilson in town

Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, above left, met with a dozen or so of his constituents recently over breakfast at Blackstone’s Cafe. He focused mostly on job creation and unemployment and helping small business owners. He fielded questions concerning the housing market and economic development. With the upcoming state redistricting, Wilson will no longer be Beaufort’s representative.

weekend crime REPORTS THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: A juvenile was a bit overzealous at Lady’s Island Middle School this week. So much so that it landed him in the School Resource Officer’s custody. The reason? This middle school attendant was swearing up a storm and failing to obey the school staff members. Let’s hope this Juv-ey stays away from the daytime television.

IHOP OUT: A party of late-night restaurant goers stopped in the local IHOP for a round of pancakes. Either their meal was unsatisfactory (doubtful) or this group decided on the notorious “dine and dash” game. Perhaps another guess is that considering the group dashed from the restaurant at 3:50 a.m. that they simply forgot to pay their $39 bill. Either way, it’s another example that nothing good ever happens after last call.

WHAT’S HE DREAMING ABOUT?: An officer stopped to investigate a suspicious vehicle in the Burton Hill area. The car was parked in front of a closed business, and to the officer’s surprise the person inside the car had his eyes closed as well. This sleeping beauty also had an open beer in the console, along with a .45 caliber pistol hidden between the drivers seat ... No really, what was this person dreaming about?

TIMES ARE HARD: The owner of a 2003 BMW convertible returned to her vehicle slightly after midnight, only to discover the top had been slashed and her purse stolen from the passenger floorboard. It doesn’t end there. The perpetrator committed teller fraud by using a credit car from the stolen handbag. Police are still waiting to receive details from where the card was used. On the other hand, our car owner has a new bag to buy.

Does it matter that our cancer program is affiliated with Duke?

It does to Linda Arp, who lives every moment to the fullest. When Linda received a surprising breast cancer diagnosis, she turned to the Keyserling Cancer Center for treatment. Through an affiliation with top rated Duke Medicine, Keyserling patients benefit from Duke’s treatment protocols and access to clinical trials.

That means our patients receive the very best in cancer care — without traveling far from home.

from the front

Burton firefighters in a new fight this October The Burton Fire District Firefighters have taken on a new fight during the month of October by promoting breast cancer awareness with new pink duty shirts.

It is estimated that more than 250,000 woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer, affecting one in eight woman.

While the fatality rates from breast cancer have been declining by 2% each year, sadly almost 40,000 women will lose the fight.

Screening and early detection are the keys to survival and why firefighters have chosen to increase awareness — to save lives.

“We came into the fire service to help people and make a difference,” stated Burton Firefighter Paramedic Daniel Byrne, “and if we influence one person to get screened, we’ve done our jobs.”

Firefighters state that working day in and day out with sick and dying people motivates them to do more for prevention.

“Women do not have to die from this.”

The pink T-shirts, paid for by the firefighters themselves, will be worn by all on duty Burton fire crews during the month of October. This year they have dedicated their awareness campaign to Theresa Manning, a local Beaufort school teacher who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and is a survivor. Burton Firefighter John Perry presented her with a shirt.

Burton firefighters urge all women to undertake screening when their physicians recommend, and encourage their friends and family to do the same.

“A simple test can save a life,” stated Byrne.

Survivor stories: Milbrey Gnann

By Tess Malijenovsky

When Milbrey Gnann was 33 and breastfeeding her youngest of two sons, Thomas, she thought she had mastitis, a bacterial infection in the breast common amongst breastfeeding mothers. After her husband Walt insisted she inquire, Milbrey learned she had a tumor 4 cm wide in her right breast. It was stage two breast cancer.

“Every woman needs to be aware that when you’re pregnant, or hormonal, you don’t necessarily know your breasts as well as you should,” Milbrey says.

Milbrey had an overproduction of HER-2, which acts as a fertilizer for the cancer cells. A new drug called Herceptin that blocks the HER-2 factor was being tested at the time, but could only be prescribed in the last stages of cancer. “Back in the day,” says Milbrey, “they didn’t do a lot of early intervention with the HER-2 factor because the drugs weren’t available, unless you had metastatic disease, and that would be like stage 4.”

Almost a year later, after chemotherapy, surgery and radiation, when Milbrey’s cancer became metastatic — meaning it spread to other parts of her body — Milbrey was able to start taking

the island news goes pink

All throughout our October issues, look for special breast cancer awareness events from advertisers, as well as more stories from survivors.

Herceptin, a medicine that blocks HER2 overproduction, which has kept her cancer “at bay” ever since.

This would be the beginning of Milbrey’s battle and first hand experience with the advancement of cancer treatment in the medical industry. “With cancer, if you’re not cured, it’s not the death sentence it used to be. I’ve been dealing with this for eight years. You learn to manage it, like if you have diabetes, you manage your sugar,” she says.

Two years after Milbrey was considered in remission, the cancer spread to her lungs. Between the cancer and the radiation damage, she developed pleural effusions — a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity — that calls for up to 2 liters of fluids to be drained from her lungs regularly. Then, about three years ago, Milbrey’s kidneys hemorrhaged as a complication from one of her medications. She became attuned to the world of peritoneal dialysis due

her renal (or kidney) failure.

“I never expected to have renal failure.

That’s been very humbling,” Milbrey says, illustrating her bright outlook.

Dialysis is a time consuming routine that requires hooking up to a machine for eight hours each night as she sleeps, yet it only replaces 10 percent of kidney function.

“Because I have renal failure, I qualify for Medicare,” Milbrey laughs. “It’s the first socialized medicine in America, believe it or not.” This point spotlights one of cancer’s principal battles — the cost. “[Cancer] is like the new chronic disease. The only problem,” Milbrey says, “is that it’s so expensive!” The Tykerb medication she takes in addition to the Herceptin costs $1,000 a pill. At five pills every day, that comes to $5,000 a day, excluding the tremendous cost of dialysis.

“If you can’t afford it, if our country can’t afford it, how are we going to manage this disease at reasonable dollars?” Milbrey poses. In fact, Milbrey’s greatest concern over the years has been her experience with insurance and pharmaceutical companies that seem to abandon the patients they claim to care

for. “When I had all those complications with Gemzar, no one once came to talk to me about it. I had to fill out my own FDA paperwork. No one was there when things got bad, and I felt very much alone,” she said.

Milbrey Gnann’s story showcases how every bit of outside monetary donation towards cancer research and financing truly makes a life or death difference.

Even more importantly is the loving support of “God, husband, child, family and friends,” without whom Milbrey says she wouldn’t put up with the cancer.

Her battle story is one of perseverance, that despite the odds she lives as mother and wife.

“We all may have different cancers, but it’s all the same journey. What’s been hard over these eight years is that I’ve lost a lot of chair mates [throughout chemotherapy] and sometimes I wonder when is it going to be my turn. I’ve already outlived a lot of my statistics. I should’ve been dead a long time ago, but I keep ticking.”

Cancer doesn’t define Milbrey Gnann, rather, it’s the way she fights it that defines her. Help the cause with your small October donation and by spreading awareness of breast cancer.

A year later, remembering my mom’s battle with cancer

By Pamela Brownstein

I used to love October.

The weather is ideal and fall is in the air; it’s my birthday and also my favorite holiday, Halloween.

But this year, I’ve been dreading the month. Not only because another year in my 30s makes me feel old or because being pregnant has put our annual Halloween party on hold, but because it marks a year since I lost my mother to cancer.

I’ve been trying not to think about the awful events from last year, but the more I try to do that, the more the memories hit me like a wave.

October 8th would have been her 62nd birthday, and I looked at a picture of her from last year, trying to smile and looking

out from one eye because, even two weeks after surgery, the tumor in her brain caused her to have double vision.

On October 10, I had a feeling of overwhelming sadness and realized this was the day when I last saw her alive.

When she was too weak to get out of the car, but insisted on going with us to the airport just to say good-bye and I love you. I’m so grateful for that day.

I wish I could forget the late night phone call from my dad telling me to get to Texas as soon as possible or the plane ride when I cried the whole time before going to see my mom in the hospital on life support.

Some of you may think,“Well, it’s been a year. She should just get over it.” I know

Pam’s P.O.V.

those are typical thoughts for someone who has never experienced true loss. I too thought that things would be easier after a year, but I can’t escape the memories of my mom that surround me and I find myself missing her more. I know her spirit lives on in laughter and in the fall air, but some days I would give anything just to talk to her again.

However, I am comforted by the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My mom found out she had breast cancer in 2004 and after everything — chemo, radiation, mastectomy,

reconstructive surgery — she was healthy and the cancer had been in remission for more than six years. She had her “Save the Ta-Ta’s” magnet on her car, she got involved in Relay for Life, and she wore pink with pride. She was a survivor, but she couldn’t fight the same breast cancer cells that hid in her brain and eventually grew rapidly and took over.

I applaud the amazing efforts of so many local people and organizations that are making a difference supporting breast cancer awareness. October will probably always be difficult for me, but I feel better knowing that my mom didn’t die in vain and I hope her story is a reminder to everyone the importance of keeping up the fight and working towards finding a cure.

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

Judge Ned Tupper

serving justice in beaufort for close to 25 years

By Lanier Laney

Approaching his 25th year on the bench as one of the most popular and colorful judges in Beaufort’s history, Judge Ned Tupper has even been recognized by The New York Times as being “known for dispensing justice in cases of minor offenses with a puckish, lighthearted humor.”

This quintessential “Southern lawyer” was actually born and raised up north in Montclair, N.J., and in affluent Southhampton, Long Island. Ralf Edwin (“Ned”) Tupper came south in 1966 at age 18 to attend Newberry College and later got his law degree from the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

After law school, he went back to New York with a goal to pass the bar and practice in New York.

Says Tupper, “I took the bar at the old Commodore Hotel grand ballroom full of people, none of whom I knew. The proctor stood in front of the room, and said ‘pretty much about a third of you are gonna flunk the bar’, said ‘if you need to use the rest room a proctor will follow you in to make sure you don’t cheat’.

The second day I had breakfast next door at Grand Central Train Station and it cost $9 (my budget was $20 per day for food).”

The following Monday, when he took the South Carolina bar in the Supreme Court building, it was quite a different story. This time he knew everyone in the room and breakfast at Cogburns was only $1.35. The proctor looked like his favorite aunt. She told them that there were cokes in the back for everyone, urged everyone to relax and do their best and, as the churchbells in the church next door tolled 9 a.m., she said to them, “I just want you to know, I am praying that all of you pass.” Tupper said, “It was at that point that I said to myself, even if I pass the N.Y. bar, I am heading back to South Carolina the day after I get sworn in.”

He was sworn in in May 1975 and soon after accepted a job as Dean of Admissions at USC Law School (he had already been working in the admissions office for two years during law school there). About a year or so into that job, he took a position as an Attorney Advisor, “a fancy term for ‘law clerk’ ,” said Tupper, to a U.S. Tax Court Judge for two years and then was offered a job at his best friend from law school father’s firm, the Dowling law firm in 1978, and he has been practicing here in Beaufort ever since.

In 1983, Tupper joined two friends, Parker Barnes and Buster Davis, in a law firm. Over the years, and the changes they brought, it’s now called Tupper, Grimsley and Dean and is where he still practices general law.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams and the other folks who wrote the Constitution.”

He also signs search warrants and is pretty much on call 24/7.

Judge Ned Tupper at the courthouse.

How He Became a Judge Said Tupper, “I really never thought about being a judge. Really, I just wanted to play centerfield for the New York Yankees, but when that did not pan out, I was approached initially by then Beaufort City Councilman David Taub and Mayor Henry Chambers who asked if I had any interest in being the city judge. I was, and still am, honored to serve. I was appointed in 1987.”

As Beaufort’s caseload has grown with the city, he now shares this duty with Judge Mary Sharp.

A few years ago, Judge Tupper was also appointed as a County Magistrate by Governor Sanford on the recommendation of state Sen. Tom Davis.

Qualities on Being a Judge “I would like to think a fair judge is one who listens to both sides of a story.

I am always cognizant that a person’s only experience with the court system may be in the city or magistrate court, therefore I do my best to make certain that everyone treat each other with respect, that I give both the state and the defendant an opportunity to fully explain their side of the case and then I rule. I know full well that each time I rule one side is not happy with my ruling, but I hope that they are at least satisfied that they were treated fairly and with respect.”

Then he added with a smile, “I sometimes have to tell the people who are unhappy with my rulings to please

wait until they are outside the court building to cuss me. That warning usually, but not always, works. When it doesn’t and they disrespect the system, they generally become a guest of the detention center for 30 days”.

Types of Cases His Court Rules On Generally he sees and rules on misdemeanors with a maximum sentence of 30 days. His cases range from parking tickets to DUIs, criminal domestic violence, prostitution, cruelty to children and cruelty to animals (which, by the way, has a heavier fine on the books than cruelty to children).

Hearing cases is only part of his job.

He is responsible for setting bond 365 days a year on people who are in jail. That involves being at the jail first thing in the morning, about 8 a.m. and reviewing each file and determining whether the inmate should post a cash bond or be released on their own recognizance, meaning not having to post a cash bond.

Those who are either a danger to the community or a flight risk must post a cash bond.

Judge Tupper said, “Judges catch a lot of heat for releasing people on their own recognizance, especially from the anonymous bloggers who, in general, obviously know much more than the judges about the law and the cases.”

His response has always been: “if you don’t like the fact that the Constitution requires us to release folks charged (not convicted), don’t blame me, blame

What advice does he have for anyone that has to go to court and come up in front of a judge?

“Don’t be nervous or scared, and look and act respectful. I remember when I got my first speeding ticket when I was about 17, my mother told me to make certain I wore a tie to court. I did, the judge lectured and fined me. However, today I smile to myself every time a young person comes in with a tie. In general, they seem to do very well in my court,” he said.

Legendary ‘Judge Tupper’ Stories If you talk to almost anyone who has been around Beaufort these past 25 or more years, they will invariably have their own favorite “Judge Tupper” story, as visiting his courtroom (as a guest, not a defendant) can be as entertaining as a T.V. show.

One favorite is this story: Many years ago, about four days before Christmas, a young African-American lady was brought in on shoplifting charges.

Judge Tupper noted that she had no prior record and asked her why she had shoplifted. She said she had lost her job because the company had moved out of town and she and her children barely had enough money to eat and she had felt so bad the children would have no Christmas, that she had tried to shoplift some toys for them and was very sorry.

Tupper had to find her guilty and sentenced her to jail. Four days later, on Christmas Eve, he commuted her sentence and let her out and took her to the store where she had shoplifted.

He then proceeded to buy all the toys she had tried to steal plus more, then went and bought a tree and all the decorations. When the children awoke the next morning, not only was their mother home, the house was decorated and filled with toys. He told the woman that he never wanted to see her in his courtroom again.

Five years later, Tupper was shopping at the Tanger Mall, when a very welldressed professional woman tapped him on the shoulder. She said, “Judge Tupper, you probably don’t remember me, but you bought my children Christmas five years ago. I’ve never been back in your courtroom again and now I’m the manager of this store,” she said with a smile.

During the past 24 years on the bench, Judge Tupper has presided over an estimated 240,000 cases, and continues to be a fair and friendly judge to the city of Beaufort.

The Gullah Kinfolk are the most exciting musical sensation ever to come from the South Carolina Sea Islands.

Virtually all related, the closeness of this dynamic group is apparent from the first song. Audiences nationwide have been mesmerized by their unique style, memorable performances and uplifting renditions of their historical repertoire.

Habersham welcomes Pearls Before Noon The Habersham Marketplace welcomes Ann Munger and Pearls Before Noon to its village of restaurants, retail shops and services. Pearls Before Noon is an antique store boasting one-of-a-kind finds, including vintage items gathered nationwide. A grand opening celebration, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, was held Friday, October

7, at 5:30 p.m. during the Marketplace’s “First Fridays” event.

Munger travels from South Carolina to the Northern Midwest regularly and finds some of her most prized, unique or interesting items at estate sales, auctions and flea markets. She plans to launch an online version of the store in the near future.

“I have thought about opening an antique

shop for years,” Munger said. “I’ve collected antiques my entire life and love the treasure hunt of finding unique items.”

The demand for vintage is on the rise.

Sparked by the popularity of shows like “Mad Men,” Baby Boomers, like Munger, are rediscovering their childhood in vintage and mid-century modern items and collectibles.

Munger is a new resident of

Habersham, first learning of the area through multiple visits to Fripp Island.

Pearls Before Noon is the fourth new business to open in The Habersham Marketplace in under six months.

The Habersham Marketplace is at 13 Market St. in the Habersham Community, located off of Joe Frazier Road in Beaufort. For more information visit www.habershammarketplace.com.

Ameris Bank announces ‘Helping Fight Hunger’ initiative In recognition of Hunger Awareness Month, Ameris Bank announces its second Annual “Helping Fight Hunger” initiative during the month of October.

“Ameris Bank: Helping Fight Hunger” is a companywide service project uniting all banking locations, support departments, community boards, and members of our community to one common cause: to collect 50,000 nonperishable food items from October 1 – 31. At the end of October, Ameris Bancorp will match the number of items collected. With the support of this match, it is our goal to donate more than 100,000 nonperishable food items to local food banks across our fourstate footprint. A food bank in every

Each Ameris Bank location is a dropoff site for the donation of nonperishable food items.

In Beaufort, donate items at 2348 Boundary St. town with an Ameris Bank location will receive the donation of goods collected at the local Ameris Bank office. In Beaufort and Hilton Head, donated items will be delivered to Our Lady’s Pantry in Beaufort and Deep Well Project on Hilton Head Island.

Market President Bob McKinney stated, “It’s hard to imagine that in

our own neighborhoods, there are families who don’t know where they will get their next meal. If we all give a little, we can make a difference for those who need it most. We encourage members of our community to stop by a local Ameris Bank location during the month of October and place a donation of nonperishable items in the collection box located in the bank’s lobby.”

Each Ameris Bank location is a dropoff site for the donation of nonperishable food items. Additionally, Helping Fight Hunger collection boxes are also located at local businesses who have agreed to partner in the cause. Ameris Bank encourages employees, customers, and

members of the community to donate by dropping off nonperishable food items in the Collection Box located inside every Ameris Bank location and at partnering businesses. In Beaufort, items can be donated at 2348 Boundary St., Beaufort.

According to feedingamerica.org, more than 49 million Americans are currently food insecure, meaning they are hungry or at risk of hunger. South Carolina is ranked 15th in the nation with over 13.1 percent of the population living at risk of hunger.

Modern Jewelers raises funds for wounded heroes Modern Jewelers of Beaufort is proud to introduce From Soldier To Soldier, an awareness and fundraising campaign in support of wounded veterans and their families. The campaign is based on the sales of a designer version of the survival and friendship bracelets worn by many U.S. and allied soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For every bracelet sold by Modern Jewelers, $25 is generated for Homes For Our Troops and other organizations supporting returning wounded veterans and their families. The campaign is part

of a national effort to raise significant funds for veterans’ aid organizations and bring attention to the special needs of returning heroes.

“We are very pleased to partner with Modern Jewelers in support of this unifying cause,” stated Niels Christiansen, CEO of LovelinksAmerica, the Massachusetts company behind the national campaign. “From Soldier To Soldier is neither pro nor anti war. It is pro our young men and women who put their lives on the line for our country and made horrific sacrifices. It is about the

survival, friendship and commitment, symbolized by these bracelets.”

The bracelets in the field are braided by the soldiers with parachute cord.

They are known as survival bracelets because they can be unraveled and the paracord can be used for many purposes in a pinch. They are also exchanged among the soldiers as friendship bracelets. Often a uniform button is sewn on and used as the clasp. The button clasp symbolizes the uniform.

The clasped bracelet symbolizes the bond among the soldiers that can never

Stroller Strides opens new location It seems that moms can’t get enough of Stroller Strides, the women’s fitness franchise for moms and mothers-tobe, as the company expands with an additional class location in Habersham.

Aaron Schranz, owner of Stroller Strides Beaufort contributes the expansion to the success of the program. The Grand Opening of the Habersham location will be held on Thursday, October 20, at 9:30 a.m. Registration begins at 9 a.m. in the Habersham Marketplace.

“My decision to open a new Stroller Strides franchise is a testament to the uniqueness of the program, as well as its effectiveness. Our customers enjoy the multiple benefits of both fitness and family,” said Schranz, who opened the Stroller Strides franchise in July.

“I look forward to offering even more moms and mothers-to-be fitness opportunities.” Stroller Strides Beaufort currently offers classes at Pigeon Point Park on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 9:30 a.m.

The first 20 moms to arrive at the grand opening of Stroller Strides’ second location will receive a free sport bottle.

The free 60 minute workout begins at 9:30 a.m. Following the workout, moms will enjoy a free playgroup, refreshments, and lots of raffle prizes. Several local area merchants will also have booths in the Habersham Marketplace with their own special products and offers. These

merchants include hair bows by Piper’s Posies, photos by Joy Photography, and jewelry by Stella and Dot independent stylist.

Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes power walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Taught by nationally certified instructors, it’s a great workout for any level of exerciser. In 60 minutes, you will get a total body workout improving your cardiovascular endurance, your strength and your flexibility. The classes are equally beneficial for babies as instructors will weave songs through the workout and incorporate activities

to make it fun. In addition to the classes, Stroller Strides offers free weekly playgroups and once a month mom’s night out, giving women an opportunity to socialize and further relationships.

“It’s always exciting when we open a new location as it provides an opportunity to offer the program to even more moms — and even dads — in the Beaufort area. Aaron has done a wonderful job growing the business and showing residents how great the Stroller Strides program is,” said Lisa Druxman, founder of Stroller Strides in San Diego, Ca.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

Legislators to tour AMIkids Beaufort With success stories ranging from a graduate who’s been accepted at The Citadel to a record number of GEDs to community involvement, AMIkids Beaufort will be bending state lawmakers’ ears at a luncheon Oct. 19.

The annual Legislative Luncheon provide an opportunity to showcase what goes on at the residential education center that serves as an alternative to jail for non-violent offenders. The event will be held at AMIkids Beaufort’s facility in Dale and provides a starting point for any questions the Lowcountry legislators and educational leaders may have, said Mike Ingram, chairman of the

AMIkids Beaufort Board of Directors.

Upon graduation from AMIkids, the goal is to have every student either reenroll in school, gain employment or begin higher education course-work.

“We provide an exceptional service for exceptional young men,” Ingram said.

AMIkids Beaufort is a residential, non-prison culture facility that provides not only education but numerous experiential educational components, treatment and behavior modification.

AMIkids also partners with eight community service projects throughout Beaufort County.

The program previously was known as Beaufort Marine Institute.

“We are proven to be successful in turning young men’s lives around, from one where society might be paying $30,000 a year to keep them in prison to where they are contributing, taxpaying members of society,” Ingram said. “That’s what we’re all about.”

The Legislative Luncheon will feature a brief tour of the property and its programs, including presentations made by students, followed by an informal lunch. Along with local legislators, Ingram and AMIkids Beaufort invited Beaufort County education leaders including School Board Chairman Fred Washington Jr. and Superintendent Valerie Truesdale.

County

school district submitted Beaufort County’s application on behalf of “Together for Beaufort County,” a group of human service alliance professionals formed in 2006 to better coordinate services for children and families.

America’s Promise noted that Beaufort County supports its youth with a variety of after-school programs and health initiatives, such as the YMCA of Beaufort County, the Boys & Girls Club of the Lowcountry and the Beaufort County School District, which provide supervised environments with tutors before and after school. Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services make health and wellness a priority by providing free recreational programs for young people after school and during the summer.

Beaufort also provides leadership

development opportunities for youth through its annual Beaufort County Youth Leadership Conference, led by the Technical College of the Lowcountry and held in partnership with several agencies and community organizations. To ensure students grow up healthy, Beaufort has coordinated a health model made up of 16 local organizations that aims to reduce childhood obesity, increase access to health services, advance health education programs and provide more opportunities for youth to participate in physical activity.

Beaufort County will not only be officially recognized as one of the nation’s 100 Best Communities for Young People, but it will also receive a $2,500 grant and access to America’s Promise Alliance’s community development resources.

continued from page 1 “This recognition is a tribute to the hard work of our schools, our social service agencies, our local governments, our diverse array of youth organizations, our volunteer student mentors and many other groups, all working toward a common goal.”

To compete for this honorable title, communities filled out a rigorous application detailing how their existing programs and initiatives help deliver the “Five Promises” as dictating by America’s Promise Alliance: caring adults, safe places, healthy start, effective education and opportunities to help others.

Federal reps hear parents On Monday, Oct. 17, a public meeting will be held to voice concerns from local parents and citizens.

Expect representatives of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to be in attendance.

The Office of Civic Rights (ORC) must approve local board decisions that involve school closings or student reassignments that might affect the demographic makeup of school populations as part of a 40-year-old voluntary desegregation agreement between the school district and the federal government. For example, the ORC needs to approve the board’s August 5 decision to close Shell Point Elementary School before those actions can take place.

Monday’s meeting will be held at the Beaufort-Jasper Academy for Career Excellence located at 80 Lowcountry Drive, near Ridgeland just off Highway 170, 6 p.m. School Board Chairman Fred Washington Jr. will introduce two OCR representatives who will give an overview of the district’s voluntary desegregation agreement, describe OCR’s duties and responsibilities relating to that agreement and the school board’s recent decisions. The two OCR representatives will then listen to any comments from parents or citizens about recent board decisions, although it is said that they will not answer specific questions about those decisions.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital staff wear purple boas at last year’s Girls’ Night Out.

Hospital hosts Girls’ Night Out

By Marie McAden

In celebration of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Beaufort Memorial Hospital is treating women to a Girls’ Night Out. The evening of fun will include music, games, wine and hors d’oeuvres, along with helpful information on breast care, nutrition and bone and joint health.

The free event takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. It is one of the signature programs created

by Spirit of Women, a national network of American hospitals and health care providers committed to women’s health education and community outreach.

“This is not your typical health fair,” said Courtney McDermott, who helps coordinate the Spirit of Women program for BMH. “We call it ‘healthU-tainment’ because the event combines all of the things you love about a girls’ night out — great food, wine, friendship, music — with advice on how to improve your well-being.”

In keeping with this year’s theme, “Your Best Health Is in the Bag,” party organizers have developed a series of games that are both entertaining and educational.

At the “What’s in Your Bag” station, women will have a chance to see how much weight they are carrying around in their handbags — and how it can create back, neck and shoulder pain.

“We’ll ask each participant to set their purse on a scale,” McDermott explained.

“If the handbag tips in over the recommended limit, our occupational therapists may suggest using a different kind of purse and exercises that can help strengthen their neck, shoulder and back muscles.”

The “Ta-Ta Toss” will focus on breast care. Women will answer a series of true or false questions by throwing a small pink bean bag into a cornhole board.

Prizes will be awarded.

Physicians will be on hand to discuss any breast health issues that should arise from the game, including breast cancer

risks, treatment and surgery. Breast care experts also will be demonstrating how to perform a proper breast selfexamination using breast models.

In addition, staff will be available to schedule mammograms at the new Women’s Imaging Center in Beaufort.

Among the other games planned for the evening is the“Wheel of Bone & Joint Health,” a roulette wheel with various categories of health-related questions.

Participants who answer questions correctly will receive a prize. Everyone who plays will have the chance to win one of several grand prizes, including a Kate Spade handbag, custom-designed jewelry and gift cards.

Balance screenings also will be conducted throughout the evening in the bone and joint station.

Membership to Beaufort Memorial’s Spirit of Women is free and includes invitations to events like Girls’ Night Out and Day of Dance. Visit www. bmhsc.org/spiritofwomen or call (843) 522-5171 to register.

Yes, makeup matters After a hectic weekend of moving both home and business, I awoke to an aching body and stared dreadfully at the haggard, puffy-eyed and disheveled haired girl looking back at me from the mirror. This amazing, yet incredibly horrible sight of my sleepless nights was enough to remind me that I was ever so grateful for make up.

As I prepared for war, I dug through my personal arsenal of beauty products and began my attack on the battle at beauty hill. It was a fight-for-your-life struggle as I broke out the heavy artillery: collagen eye gel pads to awaken sleepy, tired eyes; exfoliating facial scrub to slough away dry, dead skin; and a tightening cream to hydrate, replenish and karate chop fine lines. Going in for the kill, I went for the jugular and attacked the very heartbeat of my nemesis with a hit of foundation, some smoldering eyeshadow, a few swipes of mascara and some soft, barrel curls in my hair, as a reminder to never show her ugly

face again. Headed out the door, I took one final glance at the beauty in the mirror and thought to myself, yes, makeup matters.

Now, to those of you who wake up simply stunning, more power to you. To the rest of the world, this article is just for you. I must first and foremost offer that makeup is in no way, shape or form, a cover up, but an enhancement. Yes, make up can work wonders in covering blemishes, scarring and less than perfect skin, however, covered or not, it’s the skin your in. I once had a friend, after years of knowing her, and wondering why she did not wear make up, finally reveal to me that she was taught and grew up thinking

that only ugly women needed and wore makeup. I embarked on informing her of how makeup is supposed to accentuate not over accelerate the process of ones beauty.

Have you ever noticed anyone, maybe a friend or just some random woman in the grocery store and thought to yourself, wow, she would be really pretty if only she did this, or wore her hair like that? It’s not that this woman is entirely unattractive in her state of natural beauty, but you can see how a coat of mascara could make her eyes pop or a hint of bronzer could make her skin shine. Inner beauty, I’m all for, but if I have learned nothing from my many wars at beauty hill, I can honestly say that the emerging, made up beauty that I’ve come to know so well, is the one that I consistently want to introduce.

When you look good, you feel good and when you feel good you are able to put your best efforts forward to do good.

Halloween Hazard: The hidden dangers of decorative contact lenses Halloween is a popular time for people to use decorative contact lenses or the latest fad, circle lenses, to enhance their costumes.

However, given how easy it is to obtain theses products, it’s becoming increasingly popular for people to purchase these novelty lenses all year-round.

However, few know the risks associated with these lenses. Most people believe that decorative lenses do not require the same level of care or consideration as a standard contact lens because they can be purchased over-the-counter or on the Internet- this is far from the truth.

There is no such thing as a “one size fits all” contact lens. Lenses that are not properly fitted may scratch the eye or cause blood vessels to grow into the cornea. The lenses can cause corneal ulcers (infections) that can result in permanent corneal scarring, loss of vision, or even blindness. This is after intensive treatment with antibiotics for several weeks, reducing a patient’s ability to drive or even work Permanent eye damage can result from buying contacts without a prescription.

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Board certified, American Board of Opthalmology, www. seaislandopthalmology.com Many of the lenses found online or in beauty salons, novelty shops or in pop-up Halloween stores are not FDA-approved and are being sold illegally. Websites often advertise decorative contacts as if they were cosmetics, fashion accessories or toys. With whimsical, playful packaging and names like Dolly Eyes, their targets are often teens and young adults. But the increasingly popular circle lenses, which are especially liked by teenage girls, are not FDA-approved.

Purchasing contact lenses without an eye examination and a prescription from an eye-care professional such as an optician, optometrist or by an ophthalmologist can cause serious eye disorders and infections, which may lead

to blindness. Even if you have perfect vision, you need to get an eye exam and a prescription from an eye-care professional in order to wear any kind of contact lens.

All contact lens are medical devices that require a prescription and proper fitting by an eye-care professional. To protect the eyes, an eye-care professional measures each eye in order to properly fit contacts for the patient. Additionally, the eye-care professional instructs the patient on appropriate contact lens care. Lenses that are not cleaned and disinfected increase the risk of eye infection as well as sleeping in contact lenses which increases the risk of corneal ulcers fifteen fold.

Not all patients are good candidates for contacts (prescription or decorative lenses). Patients who have frequent eye infections, severe allergies, dry eye that is resistant to treatment, a very dusty work environment or an inability to handle and care for the lenses may not be suitable candidates for contacts. An eye-care professional can help you make a decision that is right for you and your eyes.

Friday nights as a varsity cheerleader

By Jessica Settlemire

Being a freshman in high school isn’t the easiest time in a teenager’s life, and definitely not easy for a girl. The biggest thing on a Friday night in Beaufort during the fall was high school football with packed stands, body-painted boys and girls going google-eyed for them, but not me.

I was nervous about messing up the first cheer as a varsity cheerleader. It was already a big deal to be a freshman on a varsity team; it would have been a bigger deal to mess up. As we took off our warm-ups, picked up our run-

through and pom poms, the nerves kicked in. Running on the field was OK; you really can’t mess that up. But after the run-through, time for cheer

number one! I froze! Not! I knew all the cheers and quarter after quarter it became easier and more comfortable.

By the end of the fourth quarter I had finally seen what Friday nights in high school were all about and had found my place in school.

Though my mom wouldn’t let me go out afterwards, it was all good.

She always said, “Nothing good ever happens after midnight”, very true by the way. I became addicted to cheering on the sidelines of Friday night football games and those are my most memorable times in Beaufort.

Floral tips on seasonal designs The holiday season is upon us once again. Wow, how quickly this year has come and gone. It’s time for parties, festive luncheons, get togethers with friends, family and co-workers which means enhancing these gatherings with beautiful, seasonal flowers. Instead of bringing the same old run of the mill hostess gift of a bottle of wine, why not try your hand at a thoughtful, well put together, creative centerpiece that you have handmade with love. Tis the season for rich palettes of burgundies, purples and oranges; deep hues and sparkling jewel tones. It’s the best time of the year to create with botanicals and florals!

Here are a few tips to get you started. You will need a funky seasonal waterproof container (try Grayco’s, their

selection is amazing), one oasis block, waterproof oasis tape, (these items can be found at your local flower shop) a sharp knife to cut the oasis and some good kitchen grade scissors to cut the stems with. Next, you should go to your favorite local florist — maybe Carolina Floral Design or Bitty’s — and purchase some flowers that strike your fancy. Look for high quality, diversity and texture.

Go foraging in your yard for unusual greenery such as magnolia leaves, ferns, plumosa and interesting seed pods and berries. Now you are ready to create.

From something sophisticated and classic to something more garden like and bohemian, the sky is the limit when it comes to using your imagination on flower placement and design.

For more tips on how to create a beautiful flower arrangement for a distinctive, unique customized arrangement from the Flower Girl herself, or for help with all of your holiday decor and parties, call Alison Klinakis at 843-575-2527, or come to one of The Flower Girls floral design parties in the Green Room in Habersham. Also, be on the lookout for The Flower Girl at Grayco showing everyone how to create decorative arrangements in this season’s hottest pots and planters for this holiday season.

For more information on an exquisite space for your next event, call Jaime at The Green Room at 843-815-7464.

And remember, as long as you are having fun and feel confident, everything else will fall into place. Happy designing!

golf at night is illuminating at lady’s island country club Lady’s Island Country Club is turning the tables on one of the basic laws of golf--playing it in daylight.

Break the rules and come play in the Glow Ball Tournament on Friday, Oct. 28. Teams of four will grope around in the dark chasing an illuminated ball for nine holes. Subtle hints at direction will come in the form of a few glow sticks at the tee box, a couple along the fairway and one attached to the flag. In between, it’s just your team, a glowing ball and your wits.

“We don’t light up the course, just the ball, so it’s up to you to find your way around,” said Denton Moore, head golf professional at Lady’s Island Country Club. “It’s best ball so you don’t have to be a great golfer and families On the are welcome. course at It’s so much fun and there’s night, it’s just nothing quite your team, a like playing golf glowing ball in the dark.”

Each team and your wits. will receive a set number of glow balls. You lose all of them and, well, game over. Tip: They don’t float. There might be prizes for teams who return the set intact, or at least a hardy pat on the back.

Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and hilarity ensues at 7:30 p.m. Happy hour prices last all evening.

It’s $30 per person and includes dinner.

Call the pro shop at 843-524-3635 to sign up.

Lunch Bunch eats an excellent meal at

THE TOOTING EGRET

By Pamela Brownstein

On a glorious autumn afternoon, the Lunch Bunch gathered for a feast at The Tooting Egret, in the old Firehouse building next to the library at 706 Craven St. We joined the other patrons who opted to sit outside and take advantage of last week’s perfect weather.

We were treated to the fine manners and skills of our server Matthew Peeper, who started our table off with a choice of an alvarino white wine or a Syrah red.

He also brought out a bowl of the pureed sweet corn bisque and a bowl of the green gazpacho for the table to sample. The bisque was warm and hearty while the gazpacho was sweet and simple, and both were delicious.

(April and I ended up finishing off the bisque together.)

We all tried different main dishes and I can’t say there was a clear winner because everyone loved their meals.

Kim chose the grilled lamb chops served over a bed of couscous. Listed on the menu under “special temptations,” Kim said her shanks were amazing.

Left: Grilled lamb chops over couscous. Right: Tea smoked duck with mango and basil vin over greens. Far right: Double fudge dessert with raspberry ice cream.

Nancy went healthy with the grilled romaine salad and Hooks bleu cheese dressing and a tomato stuffed with foccacia and bacon.

Elizabeth tried another yummy salad: the tea-smoked duck with mango and basil vin over mixed local greens. The presentation alone was beautiful, and she was very well pleased with her choice.

SPECIALS

Buck devoured his hearty steak sandwich with boursin cheese and carmelized onions on foccacia bread served with a side of au jus.

I caved to my preggie cravings for meat and cheese and ordered the Southern Hot Brown sandwich. The giant serving came in a shallow bowl with French toast on the bottom and filled with chopped roasted pork loin, pickled green tomatoes, and topped with white cheddar morney sauce. Whoa, it was the ultimate comfort dish and I loved every bite. It also came with a side of potato salad with bacon and cayenne toasted pecans. April and I shared that too.

April’s classic pasta carbonara was popular with everyone. The hot, buttered noodles, whipped egg and cream, bacon and Parmesan dish was outstanding.

When she couldn’t finish it all, Elizabeth gladly took over.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Matt delighted us with two desserts that were like the soups — each one appealed to opposite sides of the taste spectrum. The slice of fig pie made with a light crust, sweet figs, mascarpone and candied rosemary was unique and tasty and Elizabeth’s favorite. The slice of double fudge pie with homemade raspberry ice cream was a chocolate lover’s dream, which is why it was my favorite. April and I also polished off that plate together.

If you’re looking to impress friends from out of town or to splurge on a sophisticated, unforgettable lunch with a small group or someone special, The Tooting Egret is the place to go. Their fall menu will be featured until the end of October.

So, this week we’re going to go to Oregon to see some really good wines.

Interestingly, while Oregon really has built their wine reputation on two specific grapes, we’re going to “discover” others.

The wine industry in Oregon dates back to the 1840’s, but it’s just since the 1960”s that’s it’s really become part of what we all think of as the American wine business.

Today, with slightly over 300 wineries, a large tourism business has developed around wine tasting.

Wine has been produced in Oregon since 1847, when the first vines were planted in the Oregon Territory.

Throughout the nineteenth century, there was experimentation with different varietals and in 1904, an Oregon winemaker won a prize at the St. Louis World’s Fair. During Prohibition, wine making stopped, like everywhere else in the U.S. After being “dormant” for years, the Oregon wine industry started to rebuild in the 1960’s. At that point several California winemakers came north across the border and started planting Pinot Noir grapes in the Willamette Valley.

More out-of-state winemakers came in the 1970’s and the Oregon industry started to get organized. Due to some lucky foresight, the land-use laws of Oregon did not allow the rural hillsides to be used for housing tracts so lots of suitable land was available for vineyards.

In 1979, Eyrie Vineyards entered a 1975 Pinot Noir in the Wine Olympics.

From this point on, Oregon Pinot Noirs have continued to receive international recognition. During the 1980’s and the 1990’s, the number of Oregon wineries

between Oregon and Burgundy, France.

This is really because of the similarities in their soils, climates, etc that make their wines what they are. Well, there’s also a touch of Alsatian soil and climate types in Oregon and that’s where this Riesling comes in. As expensive as Rieslings from Alsace, France, have become, and as good as they always are, this is our chance to enjoy this great variety. The Firesteed Riesling is a combination of fruit, spice and earth characteristics. The grapes ripen slowly in Oregon’s cooler climate which let’s the wines become very complex and layered. They have aromas of mandarin orange, honeysuckle, lemon zest and melon. In your glass, the wine starts out dry and crisp and light, but gains weight and texture and a minerally quality. A perfect sipper for anytime, but a great Thanksgving find as well. And, all for $11? True. So don’t miss this one!

For a red wine, we’re going to Firesteed’s Cayella. This wine is the “invention” of Howard Fossbach. It’s name is a mix of several words from local Indian languages, and it is a blend of grapes grown in the Walla Walla and Columbia Valleys. Select batches of cabernet, merlot and Syrah are blended and aged in a combination of old and new barrels.

The wine is medium bodied, smooth and enticing. It’s flavors include red and black berries, spice, chocolate, plums and so much more. This is one of those wines that leaves your mouth salivating for more. And, at $11 a bottle, it seems to me we can oblige. Firesteed may have been a “virtual winery” but it’s wines sure are the real thing! Enjoy!

The last goodbye: Part I For many, the death of our dog will be the first time will have experienced the loss of a loved one, human or otherwise.

Even for those who have lost a relative, spouse or close friend, facing the death of a beloved Best Friend can be a whole new experience, unleashing waves of emotion that may sweep us of our feet. I had not yet lost a loved one when my 17 year old cat, Oblio, (the pet who had been with me through all the significant moments of womanhood) edged closer to death as a result of congestive heart failure A neighbor naturally assumed my mother had died when she stopped to comfort me as I wept my way through Krogers. No, I wailed, it’s my cat.

If you have a senior or terminally ill dog, it’s a good idea to plan ahead for his passing to ensure a quality death for him, as free from pain and suffering as possible.

Although no amount of preparation can make the pain go away, planning ahead for the loss of a pet can allow us to make better decisions when we find ourselves on an emotional roller coaster. Consider the following well in advance of saying goodbye to a Best Friend: Do you wish for your dog to die an unassisted death at home? Can you provide the constant support and care he needs to be sure he does not suffer? Once you have received

Although no amount of preparation can make the pain go away, planning ahead for the loss of a pet can allow us to make better decisions when we find ourselves on an emotional roller coaster. veterinary support to keep your pet pain-free until the end, dying at home involves setting up a quiet and comfortable place for the dog, and removing collars, braces, wraps from his body in advance. Respect your pet’s need to die in peace.

If your goal is for an unassisted death at home, what is your back-up plan if your dog is in distress? Know which vets are available at a moment’s notice, any time of day. It probably won’t be your vet. There are only a couple in the area that offer emergency house call services.

If you anticipate euthanasia will be necessary, where do you wish for it to happen? At home? At another special place?

Explore options in advance. For some, an in-home euthanasia allows pet owners to more freely express emotions, pay

tribute to the animal and feel more relaxed about spending time as they wish, before and after their pet passes.

Do you prefer that the euthanasia happen at your dog’s veterinary office? Are you comfortable with your vet and his/her staff? Do you understand the procedure?

How does your dog feel about the vet and the clinic? If the clinic is a place of stress for your dog or if he is large, old and relatively immobile, you might want to think about an in-home euthanasia. Sherman, a large yeller dog I lived with for a while, was euthanized peacefully in my office because he was immobile and too large for me to transport him comfortably. If you prefer to take your dog to the vet clinic, consider whether you will need someone there for support —

either to stay with you or to drive you safely to and from the office.

Do you want to be present for the euthanasia, whether at home or at the clinic? If so, understand that your dog may make vocalizations, involuntary movements, and lose bladder or bowel control. None of these are unusual nor indicative that your dog is suffering. I have found it healing for me and I recommend to clients that they, at least, see a pet’s body before burial or cremation. It is a first step in processing the loss and helps us understand that our dog is, indeed, gone.

Do you understand the euthanasia process your clinic will use? Do not hesitate to consult with your vet to learn about it. Create an opportunity to ask questions

about the payment, aftercare arrangements and any other questions that come to mind.

Find out if the clinic has a special room for euthanasia and if you are allowed to spend time with your Best Friend before and after the procedure. Ask if the vet performs euthanasia at the end of the day when the office might be quieter.

My vet in Vermont provided what she called a “transition room”. It had soft lighting, comfortable chairs, and a small water element providing a soft gurgling background noise. The transition room had a different energy — in a good way.

After staff helped an animal transition, they lit a candle and encouraged the pet’s owner to spend as much time as needed.

Part Two: Burial, cremation and coping with the loss.

Beaufort Dog celebrates the life of its canine founder The story of “the Beaufort Dog” is a heart-warming human interest tale of a regular family adopting a not so regular dog that changed their life. Beaufort Dog remembers the story this week as it says goodbye to its canine founder and mascot.

The Blackstons adopted Abbey, a three-month old golden retriever, 12 years ago. She quickly taught the family that if they did not train her, she would train them. The mother, Kelley, was a school teacher at Lady’s Island Middle and the father, Jason, was a coach at Beaufort Academy.

Knowing little about teaching and training, they sought out the help of Best Behaviors Dog Training.

After becoming addicted to the training field and learning a lot 28

about canine behavior, Kelley and Abbey became assistant teachers and then started their own classes. The duo trained out of their home on Lady’s Island for years while Kelley and Jason still taught full time. Slowly, Kelley expanded services in dog behaviors and cut back on school teaching.

Abbey became the mascot to several local businesses and performed agility and obedience at conventions and schools.

She taught a summer course at Whale Branch Elementary on pet care and visited Lady’s Island Elementary Career Days. She took part in all of the parades and was on local TV shows more than once representing our pet community.

After several years, the

Blackstons saw the need to expand their love of pets and knowledge of training to a full service facility now on Boundary Street, later they opened up another boutique for pets in Habersham. Abbey continued to meet new customers, both two and four-legged, at the door.

She served to calm owners and pets, provide an example of what can be done, and teach canine behaviors that only dogs can teach other dogs.

Abbey passed away this week at the age of 12. She worked right up until the end, participating in Beaufort’s Tricentennial Parade.

As Beaufort Dog continues to pass on the love for all of their community pets, they will not forget Abbey, and celebrate what she has meant to all of us.
