Library on St. Helena under way

By Pamela Brownstein large crowd gathered on a beautiful autumn morning on St. Helena Island for the ground breaking of a new library and to turn a new page in the history of Beaufort County. The ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 13, included school choirs and many speakers who praised the importance of the project.

During his invocation, Rep. Kenneth Hodges said that even though books were burned during the Civil War, this awful act could not quench the thirst for knowledge in the community.

BJWSA recognized for industry excellence Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA) has been honored

by The Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA) with its top utility management award, the “Platinum Award”. The award was announced on October 17 at AMWA’s annual meeting. The Platinum Award is given in recognition of public drinking water systems that exhibit high levels of performance across many industry categories. BJWSA is one of nine utilities nationally to receive this award in 2011 “We are honored to have been selected for this award,” said Ken Griffin,

BJWSA’s General Manager. “It reflects our commitment to maintaining high quality utility services while planning for the future and ensuring a financially stable organization.”

BJWSA’s selection for the award was based on several Authority-wide factors. Among these are BJWSA’s capital improvement program, the significant savings brought from debtrestructuring efforts, and the success of the military utility consolidation project.

The authority was also recognized for sound planning found in its Integrated Water Resources Management Plan, which focuses on demand management,

source water protection and an increase in the use of reclaimed effluent water.

The AMWA criteria for selecting award recipients include product quality, customer satisfaction, employee and leadership development, operational optimization, financial viability, infrastructure stability, operational resiliency, community sustainability, water resource adequacy, and stakeholder understanding and support.

Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department leads by example in Fire Prevention Month Statistically, house fires most often start with someone leaving the kitchen stove or being careless with a cigarette.

Fire-related injuries happen in homes without a working smoke alarm.

Locally, that’s been the case as well, giving Beaufort-Port Royal firefighters hands-on examples when it comes to educating residents during this month’s recognition of Fire Prevention Month.

“We address fire safety and prevention all year long, but during October we have more school visits and make an added effort to showcase the program,” said Capt. John Robinson of the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department.

Already this month, he and other firefighters have met with hundreds of school children, introducing them to a safer lifestyle through recognition and prevention of fire hazards. They’ve taught them basics of fire prevention and fire safety, including the timetested “stop, drop and roll” routine.

“We want to be sure the younger children understand the dangers of fire, but we also want them to talk to their parents about a fire escape plan and the value of smoke detectors. We encourage everyone to prepare as if they will face a house fire at some point.

Early detection, having an escape plan

fire prevention and safety tips: • Always have a working smoke detector and test it every six months • Never leave cooking unattended • Always ensure cigarettes, cigars and other smoking materials are fully extinguished • Never overload electrical circuits or extension cords • Have a family escape plan and practice it • Get out and stay out! Call the fire department from a neighbor’s home • Assume a fire can happen in your home, then work hard to prevent it. and knowing how to react are key points in saving lives and property,” Robinson said.

Fire Prevention Month has its origins with the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which burned for two days, killed hundreds of people, and left an estimated 10,000 homeless.

“Our firefighters are hosting fire station visits from school children and

their parents from all over Beaufort County,” Fire Chief Sammy Negron said. “Our firefighters are visiting classrooms, local businesses and civic clubs and groups, spreading the word about prevention.

Nationally, more than 360,000 home fires are reported every year, resulting in millions of dollars in lost property and thousands of lost lives, Negron said.

“The best way to avoid this tragedy is to be aware and be prepared,” he said.

Beaufort-Port Royal firefighters in recent weeks have battled blazes, two were caused by unattended cooking, two by improperly discarded smoking materials, one by improper burning of construction materials in an uninspected fireplace, and from a charcoal grill with hot embers left unattended and too close to the house after a backyard cookout.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) cooking equipment continues to be the leading cause of residential fires in the United States.

If you would like to visit the fire station or have a presentation at your next meeting, contact the City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department at 843-525-7055 or e-mail your request to city-fire@cityofbeaufort.org.

Law enforcement offer tips to keep businesses safe

By Pamela Brownstein

On Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Hilton Garden Inn on Boundary Street, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J Tanner and Beaufort Police Chief Matt Clancy spoke about crime and how it can affect business.

Both law enforcement officials suggested installing a high quality alarm and camera system. Tanner said, “The technology out there today is tremendous” and that businesses can find a system that fits their needs.

They also recommended testing an alarm periodically to make sure it works, having good outdoor lighting and quality locks on all doors and windows, and keeping bushes and other vegetation trimmed around windows and doors so there is no place for burglars to hide.

Tanner said Yucca bushes are good because the thorny plants can also help keep burglars away.

Clancy said that while businesses should take measures not to be easy targets to outsiders, the more common crime is employee theft. With the holiday

season coming up, shoplifting and armed robberies are on the rise. Tanner touted the importance for business owners to know their staff and be aware of any internal issues or changes in financial situations among employees. They both suggested using background checks.

Clancy also announced that the Beaufort Police will have a new Community Response Team starting Nov. 1. If a certain kind of crime pops up, the three members of the team will be able to focus on that crime without losing coverage and resources elsewhere in the department.

County, town leaders plan for future of Port Royal Residents of Port Royal and Shell Point neighborhoods have an opportunity to shape the future of their communities at public planning and design workshops scheduled this month with planners and architects.

Consultant Stefan Pelligrini of Opticos Design, Berkeley, Ca., whose firm authored the book, “Form Based Codes: A Guide for Planners, Urban Designers, Municipalities, and Developers,” will participate in the sessions.

Tony Criscitiello, Beaufort County Planning Director, said community input is essential for successful results. “Residents of Port Royal have traditionally demonstrated a commitment to their town and we hope they will continue to do so by participating in these informal sessions which will guide the future of their community. We need to know what they want to happen in the coming years.”

The county, city of Beaufort and town of Port Royal have been working together to create a multi-jurisdictional form based zoning code. A form-based code is a departure from traditional zoning practices because it promotes more compact forms of development, reduces sprawl, protects rural areas, increases sustainability and promote walkable communities. For more information visit www.bcgov.net and select the “Departments” tab on the home page, then “Public Services” and “Planning.”

The opening workshop is scheduled Monday, Oct. 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Shell Point Elementary School where the initial project will be introduced to residents. Two public open house sessions are scheduled Tuesday, Oct. 25 and Wednesday, Oct. 26 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the former site of the Coffee 4

House, 914 Paris Avenue, Port Royal.

A closing presentation is planned Thursday, Oct. 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Port Royal Elementary School, Paris Avenue. Comments from residents will be welcomed at all four sessions.

Children are invited and refreshments will be served.

The consultant and the architectural and planning team will be working with design elements at a workshop studio which is also open to the public during the day. The studio is located at 914 Paris Avenue, Port Royal. and will be open Tuesday, Oct. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For more information, call the County Planning Department at (843) 255-2148.

ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition searching for deserving families Do you know a family whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover, or a family who simply deserves a home?

If so, the producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition want to hear from you.

Ty Pennington and his crew have been all across the map and now they want to drive that famous bus to South Carolina.

“We are looking for the deserving people and inspiring families that America can really root for,” says Supervising Casting Directors Kelly Mooney and David Shumsky.

What does it take to be picked for an Extreme Makeover? “We’re looking for those special people who have amazing strength of character and never give up. Whether it’s keeping their chin up in really tough circumstances or going out of their way to help others. We want to help people whose stories have really affected their community or made a big difference in other people’s lives.” Mooney added: “There are a lot of people who are heroes to those around them because of the way they inspire others and quietly serve their communities on a daily basis.”

The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition producers are looking for families whose homes desperately need to be rebuilt. “We really want to help families whose homes present

major problems for the family, those big issues that affect the family’s quality of life on a daily basis. We want to find deserving people who just don’t have the resources, ability, or time to fix those serious issues without our help.”

This season, Extreme Makeover is also looking for families who do not own their own homes, so long as land is available through other sources, a nonprofit, city or county.

Nominations may be submitted by the family or by a member of their community. Each nomination must include the names and ages of every member of the household along with a description of the major challenges within the home, and a short description of the family story.

Anyone submitting a nomination should be sure to explain why the nominated family is deserving, heroic, and/or a great role model for their community. If possible, include recent photos of the family and home. All nominations must include a contact phone number.

Please send nominations to castingsouthcarolina@emhe.tv.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, October 24. Don’t delay!

Does it matter that we invested in the latest cancer technology?

It does to Catherine Salkowitz, who didn’t have to take time from her favorite activities to travel for breast cancer treatment. Instead she turned to the Keyserling Cancer Center, where a new, state-of-theart linear accelerator ensured the latest and best in radiation therapy. And our affiliation with Duke Medicine means that all Keyserling patients benefit from Duke’s top-rated cancer care — close to home.

from the front inner beauty 101

Think pink, think smart, think right

By Takiya Smith

With a little more than two weeks left in the month of October, but a life-long journey before us, I want to focus on the national theme of this month being Breast Cancer Awareness. “Think Pink” is the thought-provoking, coined term that has sparked a revolution amongst communities across America. Everyone of us man, woman or child can think of at least one person in our lives who has been affected by some form of cancer. Whether it be a best friend, a child, a neighbor, a spouse or even oneself, cancer has been known to have no limitations, boundaries or prejudices. In the midst of such, there is hope and comfort to be found.

When we think and speak of beauty immediately our minds conjure up images of dolled up faces, beautiful women, gorgeous hair and the likes of such things associated. Yet, there is a

Survivor continued from page 1

Hayden, Grace, Panyue, Kitty, Rebecca and Brian — Jennifer hoped she could trump her biological predisposition with a hopeful attitude: “My mom had breast cancer at 31 so I knew it was a possibility; but, at the same token, I’ve had a really positive outlook on life and I really never thought I’d get it.”

In March of 2008, just a year after her cousin passed from ovarian cancer, Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had the triple negative cancer, meaning hormonal therapy would not be an option for Jennifer whose body didn’t respond to any of the three hormone receptors traditionally tested to fight cancer.

Jennifer was nursing her youngest, Hayden, around the time and consequently skimped on a proper mammogram because of the test’s harmful radiation. Just six months later in her sleep, Jennifer rolled over tucking her hand in her armpit and felt a marblesized lump. “I knew immediately what it was,” she said.

Library

continued from page 1 Beaufort County Council Chairman Weston Newton thanked the many people who made this library happen — the county employees, the library board and staff members, Penn Center and the countless volunteers — and described how the project began in 2006 and through hard work and many forms of funding became a reality today. He said through collaboration we can celebrate the building of the $11 million library facility “because we locked arms to move ahead.”

“We stand prepared to turn over the soil to further education in northern

beauty so deeply rooted within us, that sometimes we, ourselves, tend to overlook and neglect. Inner beauty can be defined on so many levels, however, what I speak of today is our health. Regular physical health check ups, such as mammograms, pap smears, cholesterol, and blood pressure are just a few simple earlydetection and preventative measures that could ultimately save our lives.

Looking good does assist in feeling good, but let’s not forget that the key to looking good begins with feeling good.

Obtaining proper self-care, as important

as it is, often times is a last resort only when our bodies begin to give off tell-tale signs of illness. Fatigue, weight fluctuation and a plethora of symptoms red flag our bodies, yet, common to most, time and time again we brush them off with thoughtless comments and overshadow them with excuses.

This month, and for the rest of your lives, I challenge you to see the beauty within as well. Take your inner health just as seriously as you do your outer beauty and see your physician regularly.

Grab a gal pal or two and make a day of it. As women, we are always looking for an opportune girls day out so why not add our health to the list? Make October more than a month to remember by making it a tradition to begin life anew.

Shatter negative statistics and create a buzz because, literally, your life depends on it.

Jennifer described the beginning of “getting cancer” as a wash of orders from the doctors; only later did the gravity of the diagnosis hit her. Her marriage ended abruptly as she was undergoing her chemotherapy, leaving Jennifer a single mother with not only a 1-year-old baby but five other kids.

“I was just straightforward. I told the kids I had cancer,” she explained.

“They were upset because they knew my cousin passed away the year before.

They were thinking, ‘oh my gosh, cancer, you’re going to die.’ It was heartbreaking for me thinking of my kids growing up without having a mother or parent in general.” However, Jennifer had faith in her doctors, Newberry and Burris, and great support from her friends, sister and church in keeping the children busy, preparing meals and helping out with household chores.

As a mother of a half dozen, Jennifer’s taken as many preventative measures as possible by having a double mastectomy

and her ovaries removed. The two tumors were removed from her left lymph node, and by December of 2010 she was cleared of cancer. Psychologically, these surgeries are difficult for woman, but Jennifer gained sight of what was most important to her.

“When you’re faced with cancer diagnosis, every moment is precious and you realize what really matters. It burnt away the materialism and the superficial.

I feel like God peeled everything away, all the junk, all the stuff that’s not important, and it just makes you so focused on him and on your family. It made my faith stronger,” Jennifer said.

Now Jennifer is staying healthy for her kids with good nutrition, muscular strengthening and cardiovascular exercise. She enjoys swimming on the Beaufort Masters Swim Team and doing yoga with the kids at Dancing Dogs yoga studio.

Jennifer is also looking for volunteers who can commit four hours to United Hospice. Volunteers do art therapy, pet therapy, music therapy and massage therapy. Also, party planners and volunteers to stand vigil while the patient is actively dying are needed. Contact Jennifer Redmond Strawn at 843-522-0476 or jrstrawn@uhs-pruitt.com to help out.

Beaufort County,” he said.

Vernita Dore, the South Carolina director of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development, described the USDA’s role in providing grants with the help of President Obama’s U.S. Recovery Act. She also said the library project is an investment in children that will help bring education equity to St. Helena.

Beaufort County School Board Chairman Fred Washington saw the library as an opportunity for the community to have access to resources to continue to learn and grow with knowledge. He said now “high school students can access what they need to be better citizens.”

County Councilman William McBride, who has been at the heart of the library

effort for a long time, said, “This is the most important community project on St. Helena in many years.”

McBride said no location is more appropriate for a library than at Penn Center, where it can complement the good work already being done at the historic and educational site.

“When I look at the young people in the audience today, I am enheartened by the contribution we are making to their future with this library ... I am proud of this day,” said McBride.

Perhaps Theresa Dunn, chairperson of the Beaufort County Library System Board of Trustees, best captured the significance of the entire event when she said “we are now able to write a new story in the life of our library system.”

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

Stephen Murray

Beaufort’s National Award-Winning Entrepreneur proves Beaufort is Good for Businesses (and not just for one, but two businesses)

R

elocating his business back to Beaufort from Tampa, Fla., in 2009 was both a great business and personal decision for Stephen Murray. He was able to rejoin his family here (his great grandparents came to Beaufort in 1917 to work at the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot) and he was able to spend time with his beloved grandmother during the final year of her life after she was diagnosed with lung cancer and needed around-the-clock care. “My amazing family all stepped up and with the help of family friends we were able to be with her until she passed in March of 2010. Because of the nature of my job, I was able to leave the office several afternoons a week to spend with her. These were precious moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life.”

Murray grew up on Pigeon Point.

“We rode bikes all over town, played in the marsh, learned how to sail, spent too much time at the beach, went crabbing and fishing. It really was an idyllic childhood.” And he and his wife of seven years, Melissa Murray, (a Hilton Head native and the literacy coach at St. Helena’s Elementary School) were able to buy and save a cottage from the wrecking ball on Pigeon Point directly across the street from the house his grandparents had built in 1950.

Stephen is proof you don’t need college to be successful in business. After attending Beaufort High School, he first managed The Shed Center for the Arts and also was production manager of a dance company.

Rick Hubbard, a Hilton Head musician, had started the Kazoobie Kazoo website in 1997 and it was generating a few orders a week when Murray, who had become Rick’s road production manager and was tired of touring, offered to take over the www.

Kazoos.com retail website for him and handle all the daily operations of the business.

Now, 11 and a half years later, (and several manufacturing expansions) Murray is president of a company which last year sold and shipped almost 1 million kazoos worldwide.

“Most of my business experience has been on the job training” says Stephen.

He clearly learned his lessons well, having received the Excellence in Free Enterprise Award from the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2010 and this year receiving a coveted national award when he was named one of the Top 75 Blue Ribbon Small Business’s of the Year by the U.S. 8

lack of economic development is very disappointing. A vibrant business community contributes to the tax base, supports non-profits, and attracts talented individuals that creates tangible value for our community. I think a lot of people think of Beaufort as being unfriendly to business. Some of which is real and some is perceived. I’ve opened two businesses and completely renovated an old house in the past two years in the City of Beaufort. Were there challenges? Sure. But overall it was a relatively painless experience. I think we could do better to streamline some of our processes, and develop a plan to recruit the kind of businesses that will coexist with our environmental and historical preservation efforts. The recent conversations are a step in the right direction and I hope they lead to not only a plan, but action”.

His advice to people who want to start a business in Beaufort “I would recommend starting a business in Beaufort to anyone. Startup costs have never been lower. From real estate to equipment to marketing opportunities, there are some great deals to be had. We also have some great resources in town like the Small Business Development Center at USCB and the Small Business Hub at TCL for new entrepreneurs. There is a tremendous amount of opportunity out there, regardless of the economy.

Owning your own business can be a roller coaster ride, extreme highs and extreme lows, all coming at you fast. But an old guy once told me, ‘things are never as bad, and never as good as they seem.’

This is has gotten me through some dark moments, and helps keep things in perspective during great ones”.

Is Beaufort a good place to start an Internet business?

“Beaufort is a great place to have an internet business. We have relatively reliable internet service, and can ship anywhere in the country within five days.

The kazoo business has a great advantage because we started the website in 1997 and we are a very tight niche. Type ‘Kazoos’ into Google and we rule the top 10 results.

Starting out today will require a lot of time, effort, and money to garner this type of results depending on the industry that you are in, but like a brick and mortar business, it takes time to develop a customer base. One of the exciting things about an Internet-based business, for me, is the global reach. We have customers on every continent but Antarctica.”

Fall Tour of Homes ‘nightmares’

By Lanier Laney

Since this is both the month of “nightmarish” Halloween and The Annual Fall Tour of Homes, it reminded me of one of the best stories I have heard from past tours.

Seems that many, many years ago, one of the biggest historic homes on the Point was on the tour. Well, the story goes that one of the earliest visiting families on the tour had a kid who apparently left a big poop in the commode of the first bathroom you walked past in the hall, and did not flush it and left the lid up and the door to the bathroom open.

This was only discovered, much to the house hostesses’ horror, several hours later after nearly 400 people had filed past it (stifling gasps and snickers one would presume).

The next time the hostess had her house on the tour again, she decided to foil attempts by any would be ‘poopsters’ by floating a perfect camilla blossom in each toilet in the house. This was not only a success, but forever after she was known as “The Camellia Lady of Old Point.”

Words of advice for all you folks on the tour this year!

The good news is they are getting The Real Hot Sauce Band from Charleston. Hot Sauce is known for keeping the crowd on the dance floor and keeping you moving to songs from the 80s, 90s and current (Katy Perry, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Al Green, Joss Stone and many others).

USCB students create environmental sculptures University of South Carolina Beaufort students in the ThreeDimensional Design course created environmental artworks at the Historic Beaufort campus in the style of Andy Goldsworthy, a contemporary British environmental sculptor. After learning about Goldsworthy and his process of creating art, students began designing their own creative aspirations in which they would only have two hours to implement with environmental materials found on campus or at home.

According to class professor, Joan Podd, “When we teach art there is always a connection between the making of art, a critical analysis of art, viewing the historical context and content of the art, and the evaluation of the work of art they have created.

An underlying objective I had for this lesson was to get students into nature and have them pick up leaves, pine cones and palm branches and take a real careful look at them. What do they look like, feel like and smell like and how do they fit into my sculpture?”

In this assignment, the creative process was as integral as the product.

Some of the students’ designs looked good on paper, but when they tried to interpret the drawings in an outdoor setting, they realized their ideas didn’t fit the environment.

Conducting an ongoing critical analyses of their works in progress while adapting their ideas to the environment, students were required to solve a wide variety of visual problems during a limited timeframe.

RIVERVIEW STUDENTS RAISE $25K IN READ-A-THON

By Tess Malijenovsky

Students at Riverview Charter School collectively raised an astounding $26,309.85 by reading in their school’s Read-a-thon fundraiser. A portion of the money raised will be donated to the non-profit organization Room to Read, and the remainder will buy books for Riverview’s classrooms as well as additional guided reading titles for the School’s Literacy Room. “It’s an easy way to make money to help out the school as well as other organizations. And the kids did it all!” said Andrea Dixon, Riverview’s learning specialist.

Over the month of September, students from kindergarten to seventh grade made reading goals for inside and outside the classrooms. The students logged the number of minutes they read each day, and found pledges that would honor every minute read. According to the Fund Development Chair, Jody Hayward, who came up with the idea for the fundraiser, “It’s not just parents writing a check. [The kids] are talking to their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and neighbors and friends. So it’s a lot of little kids coming together to make a huge contribution to the school.”

Last year, Riverview had the goal of raising $5,000 and was blown away when they raised a total of $18,000. This year, the kids surpassed their goal again of $25,000 by reading 321,406 minutes.

“The best part,” said Dixon, “was that we had so much more participation. Last year we only had 54 percent, but this year 72 percent of the kids participated.”

To prompt the kids to read, the Director Allison Thomas dressed up as storybook characters. Riverview bookmarks were given to each kid that participated and a drawstring knapsack was rewarded for those that met their reading goal. Also, more than 30 community members, parents and grandparents participated in the Read-a-thon as “Mystery Readers” by coming into the classrooms and reading with students.

The Read-a-thon not only helps students and parents kick off the school year with good reading habits but also brings awareness to children on the importance of literacy around the world. Room to Read, which will receive $2,500 from Riverview, partners with communities throughout the developing world to provide books, education and new classrooms for children. In addition, Riverview collected 18 large moving boxes of books during their Used Book Drive to donate to Better World Books.

“And that’s a big part of what Riverview strives to do — to not only teach the kids about what’s going on in their immediate world, but also what’s going on in the world around them and how they can contribute and make a difference,” said Hayward.

Battery Creek High School’s JROTC drill squad at the state-wide competition last Saturday, Oct. 15.

Robert Smalls and Whale Branch middle schools were awarded more than $1 million in grant funds to help students from low-income families make college more than just a dream.

Beginning in seventh grade, the 230 students from both schools will be apart of the GEAR UP! Program, which will follow the students into high school and then through their freshman year of college.

The U.S. Department of Education and S.C. GEAR UP! will provide each middle school $82,000 per year for six years, which will fund one-onone “graduation” coaching. Coaches will work with the students by discussing career goals, classwork and parental support, via tutoring, summer programs, college visits and preparation for college entrance exams like the SAT. “Students benefit from adult encouragement and mentoring as they stretch toward college,” said Beaufort County Superintendent Valerie Truesdale. “Life happens, and students can get off track academically. This coach could be in the home asking, ‘What’s going on?’ and ‘What can we do?’ ” Qualifying for this grant meant that at least three-fourths of the students

at Robert Smalls and Whale Branch middle schools were at or below the poverty line, and more than 30 percent scored below basic in English and math in standardized testing. Also, at least half of the students qualified for free or reduced-price lunches.

The organization has worked with 17 schools since 2005. About 83 percent of the students involved in the program graduated last spring compared to the 51 percent of students from those 17 schools that usually go to college, according to Sjanna Coriarty, the S.C. GEAR UP! research and evaluation manager at the Commission on Higher Education.

“It really works,” said Coriarty.“I think when you’re dealing with students in a poverty area, a lot of times they don’t have the belief that they really can go to college. This is someone there to instill in them that belief and expectation. To say, ‘Yes you can and here’s how.’ ” Robert Smalls Principal Denise Smith said many of her seventh-graders would be the first in their families to graduate from college, and she was enthusiastic about the opportunity.

“When you have a formalized program and someone who is monitoring the data, it helps it to become a reality,” Smith said.

Island News introduces general manager The Island News is excited to introduce our new general manager, William “Buck” Boone, to the Beaufort community.

Buck comes to us from Greenville, S.C., and has many years of newspaper experience under his belt.

He began working in the advertising department of the News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., in 1972 and in his 25 year newspaper career has worked for the New York Times company, Multimedia, and Gannett in executive management positions. For the last 12 years, Buck was president and publisher of real estate magazines in the Upstate.

“I met ‘the sisters,’ Kim and Elizabeth Harding, eight years ago,” Buck said.

“Kim owned real estate magazines in the Upstate and that is how we got to be William friends. I was truly “Buck” Boone blessed when she called early in September asking me to come to Beaufort. After meeting with her and seeing what she and her sister Elizabeth have created, I could not wait to get involved and become a part of what has become the best newspaper in the market.”

Buck said, “If there is anything The Island News can do to help our readers, or their community service projects, please let us try to help make it known. We also perform very well for our advertisers because our readers respond to their ads in the News. If you respond to an ad in our newspaper, please let the business know where you saw it. Businesses have many ad options to choose from, and only our readers can prove to them that we are a great top media choice. We are counting on you to let them know!”

Buck has been married to his wife, Victoria, for 26 years and they have three sons: William, David and Skyler.

financial

Don’t follow the herd There’s a theory on Wall Street that goes something like this: If you follow the crowd and buy the hot investment of the day, chances are you’ll be scooping up shares when most others are about to sell. This natural “herd instinct” of buying when everyone is euphoric may mean you’ve entered the game too late and are buying at the wrong time.

Investors often jump in at the wrong time because they’re worried about what others are doing instead of focusing on good old-fashioned fundamentals such as a company’s earning potential and its management.

History continually shows us that when individuals choose investments without a prudent basis for doing so, they often wind up losing money that can take many years to recover. We saw this from 1998-2000, when investors drove the NASDAQ composite over 5,000 — only to see it fall to less than 2,000 over the following year.

History has also shown that when individuals avoid investments because the popular thinking is to steer clear of them, opportunities are often overlooked. We saw this in early 1982, when interest rates were high and companies had a difficult time impressing analysts with their earning potential. That period proved to be the beginning of a bull market that lasted more than 15 years.

This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Rob Bridgers, Financial Advisor in Beaufort at 843524-1114.

Good Advice In response to market downturns, some investors shift a greater percentage of their assets to liquid investments.

Time and again, this strategy has also proven to be a mistake.

Keep in mind that, over its history, the stock market has experienced nearly twice as many bullish periods as bearish periods. And while past performance is no guarantee of future investment results, the stock market has bounced back from every major market downturn to date.

When times get tough for stocks, we generally recommend that you maintain your confidence in their longterm growth potential and use these simple strategies: • Reduce your cost by averaging down. If one of your stocks declines in value, but the underlying business still appears sound, consider buying more shares. You will reduce your overall cost basis; you do, of course, increase your losses should the stock value continue

to fall. A periodic investment plan such as dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets.

• Stay diversified. Keep your assets spread among investments which have historically performed differently under the same market conditions.

Profits from appreciated investments can help offset losses from any losing investments.

• Stay focused on your long-term goal. Don’t try to avoid the downturn by jumping out of the market. No one can accurately predict when it will rebound.

Remembering why you invested in the first place will help you stay calm during times of market uncertainty.

Stocks offer long-term growth potential, but may fluctuate more and provide less current income than other investments. An investment in the stock market should be made with an understanding of the risks associated with common stocks, including market fluctuations.

A trip for a lifetime

By Jack Sparacino

Well, here’s some good news. I’ve ordered my very own PTTM (personal time travel machine) from Holy Mackerel Enterprises, Inc. They said it would be here within 2,000 light nanoseconds which I’m hoping is soon.

I got so excited that I put together my first itinerary and started on a flight plan. News this good is just meant to be shared.

First stop after a Lowcountry launch is going to be Oyster Bay, NY, 1905.

Specifically, Teddy Roosevelt’s Sagamore Hill home on Long Island. I like this start to the trip because I have always admired old TR and don’t want to go TOO far back on my first trip. A visit to his summer White House in the midst of his presidency seems ideal. I’m thinking October so we can avoid the oppressive summer heat (no air conditioning back then). We’ll have a grand lunch together and then go bluefishing (I’ll offer to clean and cook the fish later on). Over lunch we’ll go over current affairs, then and now, and why not try to get his advice on how to proceed with the pressing issues of today? I’m not sure whether to bring a modern tape recorder (will it work in 1905?) or just paper and pencil.

Maybe, not to get too fanciful, he’ll agree

Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in refereed journals in psychology and medicine. He is retired and now lives with his wife, Jane and their three dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.

to come back with me for a week or so if I can find out how to do that properly in the owner’s manual.

Next stop on my trip will be Yankee Stadium, 1927. The Yankees had that extraordinary team that year. Ruth at his peak, a young Lou Gehrig, great pitching. I’m looking into an appropriate outfit to wear to the park (I think they wore suits and hats then) which will also work when I visit my grandparents. My dad was born that year in New York and this might be an interesting twist on the usual family reunion, yes? Then it’s on to dinner in Manhattan, Italian of course, a place with “timeless” decor.

Back in the machine for a jump to 1935 so I can visit my parents’ grade schools in New York City. The Depression is raging on, everyone is struggling, and teachers are no doubt bearing their share of society’s burden. I’m anxious to watch them with the children, the siblings of the greatest generation. How did they keep the kids focused on the three R’s?

How did Mom and Dad act in class?

What were their classmates like? Does

anyone want to meet “Future Man?” Now we’re on to 1939 and way over to Hollywood, California, on the movie set where they’re making “The Wizard of Oz,” my all time favorite film. Maybe we can sneak me a quick visit with the Munchkins and the Flying Monkeys. Hey, everybody, I LOVE your costumes! And how about lunch with the cast and crew? “Is everyone having a great time? Do you know you’re making a film for the ages? Why yes, Mr. Morgan, I’d love a hot dog if you don’t need them all for the Professor Marvel scene; Judy, sweetie, could you please pass the potato salad? How nice to see you all in color, and that goes especially for you, Miss Hamilton (your wonderful witchiness) ... my, what an amazing shade of green you are!”

Next we jump forward to England, 1995, for a visit with the great theoretical physicist and proponent of fascinating theories of the universe and time, Stephen Hawking. This might be tricky since I’ve read that Mr. Hawking does not believe in the concept of travelling back in time. The logic is

that doing so would violate the basic rule that cause comes before effect and that such travel might allow people to prevent themselves-- for example if a person travelled back in time and killed their former self. But it would be fun to press on with some questions for him, since at this point I would have traveled FORWARD in time to see him. “How do you like my machine? Would you like to take it out for a spin? Where do you want to go first? Do you have any design improvements you want to recommend?

You don’t think I’m nuts, do you?”

I’ll have to check my watch at this point and try to figure out if I’m on schedule for the last leg of my journey and getting back to the Lowcountry. The clams have been plentiful and we could use a pail of them. This trip will surely be a wild ride, I’ll learn a lifetime worth of wonderful lessons, meet some fabulous people (and pretend monkeys) and take lots of great pictures. I wonder how the odometer on the PTTM, or whatever they call it, will record our distance. I suppose I should expect that there may still be some bugs in this contraption but that’s OK, I probably have a few of my own at this point.

So that’s the plan. Now I need a rest.

Make that a time out.

Do you doula?

By Ifetayo White

Perhaps this is a strange question, if you know what a doula is. But in my recent informal survey in Beaufort County, I found out that most people have never heard this word nor have any idea what they would with a doula.

Doula is an ancient Greek word meaning “a woman of service.” In today’s world, a doula is a woman (usually) who is trained to provide various forms of non-medical and non-midwifery physical and emotional support during pregnancy, during childbirth and/or during the postpartum period.

As doctors, nurses, and midwives are primarily responsible for the clinical health and well-being of the mother and baby, a trained doula can provide both physical and emotional support

Ifetayo White is a Certified Doula (toLabor/ALACE), Reiki Master Teacher and practitioner, Master Bodyworker and teacher of a number of body-centered and wellness support tools, in addition to being a well-life coach. She is the Founder of CHOICES Birthing and Wellness Support (www.choicesbirthing.com) and The Lowcountry School of Reiki and Energy Healing Wisdom. Contact her at 843-271-1923, ifetayosun@yahoo.com.

for both women and their partners.

By consistently gathering information during pregnancy, labor and even birthing, she is able to offer a highly individualized support plan. The doula provides continuous support during labor and birth at a hospital, birthing center or home birth until a short time after the baby has arrived. She offers support in the form of touch and encouragement, and coaching on comfort measures such as breathing, relaxation, movement, focus.

The doula helps ensure that these non-

medical needs are met while enhancing communication and understanding between the woman or couple and the primary care staff. It has been my experience that many doctors, midwives and nurses appreciate the extra attention given to the laboring moms and the greater satisfaction expressed by women who were assisted by a doula.

A postpartum doula typically begins providing care in the home after the birth, which might include cooking for the mother, breastfeeding support, newborn care assistance, errands, light

housekeeping, etc. In some cases, doula care can last several months or even to a year postpartum — especially in cases when mothers are suffering from postpartum depression, children with special needs require longer care, or there are multiple infants. The postpartum doula can also support, reinforce and enhance the experiences of second, third or even fourth time parents.

So the answer to the question, “Do you doula?” should be YES!!! Use her to give you and your family in-depth and compassionate support during any phase of your childbirth experience.

A favorite quote in the birthing community is from Dr. John Kennell who conceived of the notion of doulas in the 1960’s. He said, “If a doula were a drug, it would be malpractice not to use it.”

Ophthalmologist uses cutting edge cataract technology Dr. Richard Akers, of Atlantic Ophthalmology, is the first ophthalmologist in Beaufort to perform surgery using an exciting new technology that helps reduce low-light and nighttime glare for cataract patients.

These breakthrough acrylic lenses, by Bausch & Lomb, are called Akreos IOL. Not only do they help reduce glare and produce excellent post-operative vision, patients also heal faster because only a small incision is needed to insert the lenses.

Additionally, Akers was the first 18

ophthalmologist in Beaufort to implant the Acrysof ReSTORZ IOL. This technology from Alcon can correct visual problems caused by cataracts Dr. Richard and presbyopia, a Akers condition in which the lens of the eye loses its ability to focus, making it difficult to see objects up close. This

surgery also often eliminates the need for post-operative glasses.

Akers is at the forefront of lens selection and is committed to staying ahead of the curve surgically so that his patients have access to lenses that best suit their lifestyles.

Atlantic Ophthalmology provides medical and surgical treatment of eye disease, using the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment while respecting the safety and care of its patients. In addition to routine eye

examinations and prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses, Atlantic Ophthalmology provides top-quality services to treat a range of eye problems, including cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and corneal disease.

Smalls’ descendants bring living history to the Verdier House A living connection to Beaufort history will be established at Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Dinner & a Lecture on Monday, October 24 at the Verdier House, when family members of Lowcountry hero Robert Smalls explain their role as his descendants in keeping his memory alive and share Smalls’ impact on their lives.

This personal account, to be presented by Small’s greatgranddaughter, Helen Boulware Moore, and great-great grandson Michael Boulware Moore, will enhance visitors’ experience of the current traveling exhibit at the Verdier House, “The Life & Times of Congressman Robert Smalls.” Under the auspices of the South Carolina State Museum, the exhibit will be here in Smalls’ hometown until December 20. It has appeared in museums along the East Coast since it debuted in 2008 at the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture in Charleston.

The story of Smalls, born a slave in Beaufort, represents the experience of the first generation of African Americans who emerged from enslavement to live full and productive

lives. His life also exemplifies how African Americans helped to shape the country’s history for the short, but very important, period after the Civil War called Reconstruction.

Smalls’ heroic exploits on behalf of Union forces in 1862 provided his entrée into the U.S. military and politics.

By the time he died in 1915, Smalls had served five terms in the United States Congress and was the dominant political leader in Beaufort County for 45 years. Smalls ended his career as Collector of Customs on Bay Street in Beaufort. In 2009, he was named to the South Carolina Hall of Fame.

Open to HBF members and nonmembers, the monthly lecture series features a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 5:30- 6 p.m. Programs are 6 – 7 p.m. followed by audience questions.

A three-course dinner at Saltus River Grill is offered at $19 per person for attendees at the lecture. Admission to the lecture is $15/$25 per member/member couple respectively, and $20/$30 per non-member/nonmember couple respectively. Seating is limited; call 379-3331 to make reservations.

Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens

By Tess Malijenovsky

Beaufort, our historic jewel, is three centuries rich with remarkable architecture. Located in the heart of the Carolina Lowcountry, our repository of 18th, 19th and 20th century gems make up Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District—the largest in South Carolina. This weekend the Historic Beaufort Foundation invites visitors for an exclusive tour of private homes, churches, gardens and plantations rarely open to the public during its annual Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens.

Historic Beaufort Foundation is a nonprofit organization that preserves, protects and restores buildings and sites of historic or architectural significance in Beaufort County. The Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens is the primary fundraiser for the organization. All proceeds from the event will further the preservation efforts.

The first anticipated event of the festival weekend is the luncheon and lecture with one of the world’s leading antiques expert, Judith Miller. Miller is co-founder of Antiques Price Guide and author of more than 100 books. Her expertise has brought her to the Smithsonian museum in DC and on BBC’s The Antiques Roadshow, Martha Stewart and CNN. Be sure to greet Judith Miller on Friday, Oct. 21, 12 p.m. at the Dataw Island Clubhouse.

Later on that day, visitors can take a self-paced walking tour of seven private houses that represent the array of architectural styles from the last two hundred years, including the circa 1805 Verdier House, which is Historic Beaufort Foundation’s house museum.

On Saturday, Oct. 22, the Ramble Around Beaufort tour brings visitors from city houses to country retreats and plantations. The exquisite gardens and grounds of Dean Hall Plantation are exclusively open for this day. In the late afternoon, visit the Lowcountry icon, the Tabby Ruins

on Spring Island. Tabby Ruins are situated within a nature preserve in a private residential community with views of the Chechessee and Broad Rivers. Here visitors will find the final resting place of African Americans who fought in the Civil War. Wine and cheese will be served with a performance by the B.J. Scott Choir of Huspah Baptist Church.

Last but not least, Sunday, Oct. 23 five local chefs will prepare regional specialties in five private homes — an event with a limited number of tickets.

Isabella Reeves, the Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens Coordinator, gives her warm regards to everyone who’s helped make this fall festival possible: “We’re very appreciative to the property owners for opening their properties for benefit of historic preservation and the many volunteers that work on this event. We can’t do this without them.”

This weekend, all Beaufortonians can take part in preserving our historic charm and get an exclusive glimpse of some of the town’s best kept architectural secrets. Tickets may be ordered a la carte or in a package either by phone (843-379-3331) or online at www.historicbeaufort.org.

From Beaufort Beach to Ribaut Road, how Beaufort’s changed

By Michael Petorock

The first thing is the old Beaufort Beach. Some called it Burkmire Beach, but we always knew it as Beaufort Beach. I suppose before the bridges were built to Hunting and Harbor Islands, there was no way for us to reach those beaches. No problem though. We had the Beaufort Beach. It was at the very end of Meridian Road, where Burkmire Subdivision is now. There was a winding dirt road going through the woods.

Once you reached the end there were several covered open huts, with picnic tables in each one. We swam right in

Beaufort Then & Now This moment in Beaufort’s history is an excerpt from the book “Beaufort ... Then and Now,” an anthology of memories compiled by Holly Kearns Lambert.

the edges of the Beaufort River. It was a beautiful beach area, though, no waves or surf. But it was all we knew at that time. There were not many swimming

pools so we went into the river.

Another item that I think of is when Ribaut Road was only two lanes all the way from Beaufort to Parris Island. It seemed as if it took a long time to take that trip. If cars needed to turn left, then we waited behind, and not too patiently.

The last thing that I mention is one that really describes how times have changed, not just dealing with growth or progress, but how people’s mind-sets have changed. I have a friend whose father owned a new car dealership on Boundary Street. At that time, there was a drive-in theater where the Beaufort

low country school of performing arts goes to columbia

Town Center is located, where K-Mart is now. The car dealership was next door to the drive-in. My friend was on a date, and was at the drive-in. She and her date got into an argument, and she got out of his car and walked next door to her father’s car dealership. She opened the door to a car and drove herself home.

During those times, the keys to all the new cars were left in the ignition and left unlocked. There was never a problem with theft at that time. The keys were with the car at all times.

I don’t think that would be such a wise move now.

A spotlight on fabulous local restaurants, expert wine advice and a dining guide

Superb, sophisticated and so satisfying:

SOUTHERN GRACES

By Pamela Brownstein

Southern Graces holds a special place in my heart. Not only because the food is always amazing, but because they catered my wedding and I’ll always remember our guests — especially the ones from up North — raving about the delicious Southern dishes.

That was in 2009 when Bethany and Chris Hewitt just started Southern Graces at The Beaufort Inn at 809 Port Republic St. In the two years since then, the business has grown and expanded and become beloved among locals and tourists — and many married couples.

Last week, the Lunch Bunch had the pleasure of sampling the new fall lunch menu, as well as the dinner menu.

A mix-up in schedules meant April and I were there early waiting for the rest of the bunch. Our gracious hostess, Tasha, indulged the two of us and brought us our favorite starters: Fried green tomatoes served with a sweet corn sauce and the Beaufort Bay Shrimp Wraps, fresh local shrimp stuffed with sausage and lump crab meat wrapped in a spring roll and served with sweet garlic aioli. Both are super must-haves.

Once the others arrived, we all gobbled the fresh popovers with homemade maple butter, and even asked for more.

We also loved the pecan-crusted baked

Shrimp and sweet potato grits.

Harvest Panini with sweet potato fries.

Brie appetizer with green apple chowchow and toasted baguettes.

For entrees, Heather and Buck both chose yummy sandwiches off the lunch menu. Heather chose the Harvest Panini: French bread pressed with smoked Gouda, caramelized apples, roast turkey and cranberry aioli, and a side of sweet potato fries. Buck opted for the orange marmalade chicken salad made with grapes, pecans and orange marmalade and served on a croissant.

Elizabeth ordered the crispy scored flounder off the dinner menu with sides of whipped buttermilk potatoes and sauteed spinach. The whole fish, topped with an apricot shallot sauce, was cooked to perfection and very tasty.

After much debate, I settled on the crab cake served atop the signature salad featuring smoked Gouda cheese, toasted

pecans, dried cranberries, mandarin oranges with citrus vinaigrette. The Creole mustard remoulade gave the crab cake a subtle kick, and the portion was huge, so there was that much more to enjoy.

April went outside her comfort zone and tried the shrimp and sweet potato grits. Although they weren’t exactly what she expected, Elizabeth and I thought the Dessert sampler platter: Chocolate creme brulee, celebration cake and white shrimp were outstanding.

For dessert, we all had the chocolate chocolate chip banana pudding. creme brulee, celebration cake and white chocolate chip banana pudding. I could fudge and coffee and topped with vanilla probably eat that trio after every meal, ice cream was too good to pass up and each item is so scrumptious. Don’t forget Elizabeth and I gladly finished it.

Southern Graces serves lunch, to try the new dessert options on the fall menu, especially the caramel apple afternoon tea and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. cheesecake and coconut cake.

Every once in a while you get a chance to get something special at a special price.

These days, what with the economy doing whatever it’s doing, it seems we are getting more and more wines at new lower prices all the time, which makes us all happy, or I hope it does. This week, we have another one of these new deals.

Manifesto is the label on the wine.

With cooler weather upon us, today’s wine is not white but red. Cabernet Sauvignon to be precise.

Manifesto is the dream “winery” of several young people in the wine business. Please note, that by young, I merely mean younger than I am. And, from what I know of them, they are all younger guys. But, good for them.

They’ve all been in the wine business for several decades, each, at a variety of levels and positions — some at wineries, some at wholesalers. They all really know what makes a “good” wine and what makes a “sell-able” wine, and those two are not necessarily the same thing.

However, a good sellable wine is the best of all and that’s what their goal is. The great part is that they are having fun doing what they love to do. Just so you know, the entire idea for these several friends joining together to make wine

(Then they go surfing, again, sound like fun, doesn’t it. and drink Manifesto!)

So, what about Manifest? It’s not Our Manifesto wine of choice this week is the 2007 cabernet sauvignon.

(The 2007 vintage was pretty awesome for most of California.) The grapes for this wine came from two different 1224 Ribaut Road • Beaufort, SC ranches, “kind of a yin and yang.” For Three Generations of fermentation, a wild yeast was used which enhances a wide range of aromas Quality Service and flavors in the finished wine. The fermented wine was barrel aged in 140 barrels, six of them were new oak. ( Just, ESTANCIA PINOT GRIGIO 750 ML

Black & White labelScotch on it came

CHARDONNAY 750 ML

www.keithsplumbing.net

FYI, that makes 3,500 cases.) How precise is that — six new oak barrels for just a kiss of that flavor? Pretty handson, isn’t it? But, the finished 2007 cab is bold, has heady aromas of blackberry, bramble and wild strawberry. The flavors echo these aromas and move on to currants, cigar box tobacco and a touch on minerality that’s like pencil lead, or what used to be pencil lead. All of which means we get layers and layers of flavors and textures. And that’s good.

For food, we have to assume surfers eat too. So, yes, think red meat with this wine, grilling steaks with friends while you sip some, and after dinner popping some chocolate with it. Or, if it’s too early for dinner, just enjoying this wine with friends and family. Remember faceto-face social.

And, finally, what about this deal that I mentioned? Glad you asked. The original cost of this wine, to share with family and friends, is $18. 99. But, as we all know, everyone may not get as much as they really want at that price. So, now, it’s $9.99 a bottle. Which pretty much means we can all have our own bottle.

And, I know that’s plenty. For one night.

And, at that price, we can all go back to Manifesto cabernet sauvignon again, and again, and again. Think of all those friends, steaks, chocolate kisses and good times. Enjoy!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol, or find a furry friend to adopt

The last goodbye: Part 2 Planning ahead for the inevitable involves knowing what you wish to do with your pet’s body once he has passed.

For some, once the animal is gone, the body is just a physical reminder and the final resting place is less of a concern. For others, burial or cremation is a way to honor and remember a beloved Best Friend.

The least costly option is to take a pet’s body home and bury him — local ordinances and other considerations taken into account. The grave needs to be deep enough to deter marauding animals from disturbing the body and keep the grave from being unearthed in heavy rains. As we were living in a place my lab Tucker never called home, he was buried next to his friend Moses at the edge of a meadow where they, as friends, would sniff deer trails for hours on end. My cat, Oblio, was laid to rest in the side yard; we planted a pussy willow to serve as her marker.

Unfortunately, one of the significant downsides to this is today’s mobile society. Many of us don’t live forever in the same place so leaving a behind a beloved companion might not work for some individuals.

It still bothers me. Tucker and Mercy are in Vermont, Sherman is with his dad and Oblio is in Ohio. I have Dave and Bea’s remains with me by virtue of cremation.

Another good reason for planning ahead is to have the opportunity to research the company providing the cremation service and feel comfortable that your dog’s body — and you — will be treated with care and compassion. Most veterinary clinics offer cremation services wherein a representative from

Grief is a natural and normal response to a significant loss, and while painful, it is also a healing process. Some of us will have a harder time than others. a crematory picks up the pets body from the clinic, then returns the ashes to the clinic or directly to the owner. We are lucky to have a pet crematory in the area — Good Shepherd Pet Service in Ridgeland — that gave me the option of personally seeing Bea to her final destination.

When Bea died, a caring friend drove us both to Ridgeland for the final goodbye.

Bea had a private cremation but Good Shepherd also offers a “community cremation” in which the remains of several pets are cremated together.

Good Shepherd explained that each animal is tagged with a metal tag so that even in a community cremation, if you desire, the remains you receive will be those of your animal.

Some people like to scatter their pets’ ashes (or cremains) someplace special — where they liked to play, at the beach or where they liked to rest in the sun — or simply bring them home. My father made a beautiful box for Dave’s remains. I had asked him to make a box for Bea as well but when I picked up Bea at Good Shepherd, they had already placed her in the perfect

container. You see, Bea was a sort of flamboyant beagle, dramatic and a little quirky.

Good Shepherd sent her home in a red brocade chest with a large button tassel. Perfect.

This little consideration was a small hallmark of the extraordinary kindness and compassion shown to me by this company.

Our relationships with our pets are as unique as our relationships with the various people in our lives. Grief is a natural and normal response to a significant loss, and while painful, it is also a healing process. Some of us will have a harder time than others.

Some friends will understand while others won’t. Seek out those whom you respect and who have dealt with the loss of a pet. Distance yourself, temporarily, from those who do not understand that your pet was a family member and who tell you to “get over it.”

As a society we grieve poorly.

We expect people to move on very quickly. When you lose a pet, allow yourself time to deal with it. Don’t let societal pressure make you think, “it’s just a pet”. It’s not. It’s your Best Friend.
