The sign outside of Beaufort Academy reads, “WE WILL NEVER FORGET.” It’s a sentiment reflected across the country as Americans remembered the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. In memory of the more than 3,000 people who lost their lives that day, Beaufort Academy students placed 3,000 flags on the school’s campus and along Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island. For those who drive down the road, the sight of the flags is moving and another reminder of our sacrifice for freedom.

In

honor of local heroes, Lady’s Island Elementary School invited military and first responders to join students for lunch Tuesday, Sept. 10, and to say thank you for all that they do for our community and our country. Students made cards and gave them to those in uniform who attended the luncheon, which included sandwiches, snacks and drinks set up on stage in the cafeteria. Parris Island Drill Instructor Dwayne Martin-Farley, pictured at right, was very appreciative of the cards he received and he said he enjoys visiting schools and representing the Marines. School counselor Kelli Harper said this is the second year the school has held the event.

City explains reason for raising taxes Despite a 17 percent drop in the appraised value of owner-occupied homes, according to the County Tax Assessor, taxable assessed values of those properties will increase by 1 percent. Careful and cautious management of Beaufort’s budget means minor property tax increases from the city for Fiscal Year 2014.

It is anticipated that owneroccupied homes within the city will also see increases from the other taxing jurisdictions as well during this property tax season.

The typical owner-occupied home within the city limits appraised at $150,000 will see City of Beaufort property taxes total about $340 this year — or an average increase of $65 from 2013. Other increases will be experienced for the county and school district property taxes.

While the average decrease in the appraised value of an owner-occupied property was approximately $49,342 or 17.15 percent in Beaufort, the average taxable assessed value of that property within the city increased by one percent.

“Basically, council and staff took several long, hard looks at our financial status, and at where we need to be in the future and how we can get there,” City Manager Scott Dadson said. “We presented some options to improve the revenue stream but for a lot of reasons,

those didn’t work out.

“In the end, we cut back on services that some people will probably object to, such as we won’t do as much landscaping maintenance in the Waterfront Park this year. On the positive side, we balanced the budget with only very minor adjustments in the tax rate,” he said.

Since about 2009, property values have dropped in the City of Beaufort, across Beaufort County and in most places in the United States. Within the City, appraised values have dropped from $2.3 billion to $1.8 billion, a decrease of $458 million or 20.3 percent since the last reassessment for tax year 2008, said Kathy Todd, finance director for Beaufort.

“This equates to a total $8.4 million or an 11.41 percent decrease in taxable assessed value over the same period,” she said. “The City has held the tax rate steady at 60.62 mils during this time.

With shifts in taxable assessed values, the City has held costs down. The approach has been to provide quality services without increasing costs or property tax rates — in essence, doing more with less.”

When the city began to prepare for the FY 2014 budget cycle, City Council and the City Manager’s staff looked at various options to lessen the tax impact on local property owners.

“We pursued very aggressively the

local option sales tax within the county as a way of shifting the tax burden away from its residents,” Dadson said.

However, this option was rejected by the county.

In addition, Beaufort leaders presented several alternate revenue sources to make up the expected shortfall in property tax revenues from the reassessment process. At the same time, department heads scrutinized their projected needs and costs for the upcoming year — and cut the budget even further with a careful eye on service levels, Dadson said.

City Council approved a 4.32 percent Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase to the rollforward millage to cover the expected shortfall in revenues without substantially impacting the services that city residents have come to expect. This is no different than what the county and the school district did in the adoption of their millage rates for FY 2014.

“We did have to make some cuts that people may notice,” Dadson said.

“That’s the balance between raising revenues and reducing services. We are working with our partners to increase economic growth in Beaufort and hope increased investment in our city will put us in better shape.”

news briefS Beaufort street paving rescheduled again

Under a revised paving schedule from the contractor, work on several Beaufort streets will resume in October.

According to the S.C. Department of Transportation, the contractor decided to pull out of the Beaufort area until the first week in October.

When they return, the crews will begin work on Charles and North streets. Bay and Lafayette paving has been completed and the only remaining work on those streets is final dress up and permanent pavement markings, according to Christopher Smith, the Beaufort-Jasper construction manager for SCDOT. “We are sharing the information provided to us by the State Department of Transportation,” said Scott Dadson, Beaufort City Manager. “We only learned of this schedule change this morning from them. The good news is that downtown’s Bay Street was paved with a very quick turnaround, so maybe that’s the silver lining to all these schedule changes.”

Two Burton men plead guilty to molestation

A 27-year-old Burton man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for molesting a girl on multiple occasions over a four-year period.

On Monday, August 26, 2013, El Pidio Calihua-Macuixtle, of Shanklin Road, pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

In late 2012, a 12-year-old girl disclosed that she had been molested

by Calihua-Macuixtle beginning when she was eight. She underwent a forensic interview at Hope Haven. Investigators from the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office retrieved DNA evidence and the defendant confessed to the abuse.

“We were prepared to begin the trial this week when Mr. Calihua-Macuixtle decided to plead guilty and take responsibility for the terrible things he had done,” said assistant solicitor Mary Jordan Lempesis, who prosecuted the case. “With this outcome, the victim was spared from having to recount the

years of abuse in the courtroom.”

Judge Perry M. Buckner handed down the sentence. By law, CalihuaMacuixtle must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before being eligible for parole or any other early release mechanism. He has been incarcerated since his arrest on November 4, 2012.

Also on Monday, Edi Rolando Suazo, 32, of Burton, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and was sentenced by Buckner to 10 years in prison. His case was also scheduled for trial this week.

Mr. Suazo has been incarcerated since his arrest on November 30, 2012.

LADY’S ISLAND NOTES School Buses, Safety and Sams Point Road School is back in session and approximately 4,000 students are traveling Lady’s Island roads. Many of these students will travel by school buses. Just a reminder that in South Carolina if you are traveling behind a school bus with a flashing red or amber light the law requires you stop if the bus stops. If you are traveling on a two lane road and meet a stopped school bus with its flashing red lights you must come to a full stop and remain stopped until the bus begins forward motion again. If you are on a four-lane road, such as Sams Point Road, and you meet a stopped school bus, you do not have to stop. Regardless of the fact that the law no longer requires stopping on four-lane roads, drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.

Pizza Hut Arrives on Lady’s Island Pizza Hut recently opened a store in the Food Lion shopping center which offers take out and delivered pizza. The store’s manager, Mr. Donald O’Connell indicates plans are for a similar Pizza Hut store in the Shell Point Shopping Center and another one later in the City of Beaufort. Sadly, it would seem that at some future date the Pizza Hut store on Ribaut Road will close. We extend

our appreciation to Mr. O’Connell for choosing Lady’s Island as a location for his store and wish him every success.

An Example of What Makes Lady’s Island Special As most Beaufort County residents know, growing along the sides of many of our roads is Behia grass, also known as highway grass since this grass is often used by builders of roads for the purpose of erosion control. This grass gives new meaning to the term fast growing and when combined with SCDOT limited grass cutting capability the results are often roadsides presenting an overgrown and unsightly appearance.

Recently, Lady’s Island resident Mr. Tom Hirshey, a retired Marine and civil service worker at Parris Island decided to do something about the high grass along Brickyard Point Road and Sams Point Road. He simply drove his riding lawn mower to Brickyard Point Road and started cutting the grass. As a result of the sequestration requirement that he take six days off from his job, he used the extra time to cut not only along Brickyard Point Road but also portions of Sams Point Road. When asked why he was cutting the grass, he replied that his father always told him that if something bothered him to do

something to correct it.

The unsightly grass along the road bothered him. To this civic minded individual a special thank you is extended for setting the example Jim Hicks Lady’s Island as to the power of Business one individual. The Professionals road does look really Association nice. It is neighbors like Mr. Hirshey that makes living on Lady’s Island a special experience.

Creek. In return for Falcon testing and rehabilitating the property, DHEC will not hold Falcon responsible for any preexisting pollution discovered and will allow it to be acquired as a Brownfield site. Brownfields are land which was previously used for industrial purposes or some commercial uses and may be contaminated by low concentrations of hazardous waste and has the potential to be reused once it is cleaned up. It should be noted that this procedure does not reduce the responsibility of any former owners.

No decision will be made by DHEC until a public hearing is completed.

Brownfields, What are they?

In a recent Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) announcement in the Beaufort Gazette and also included on a sign posted on the property in front of the Lady’s Island Dockside Restaurant was request for public comment on a proposed voluntary cleanup contract between DHEC and Falcon Mortgage Group LP. The property in question includes 2.44 acres which, prior to 1951, was developed as a marina and has since been improved to include a restaurant, a cement block workshop building and a parking lot. The property in question does not include any of the structures in the marsh or waters of Factory

Barbara Jean’s Restaurant Closes It is with a touch of sadness that we note Barbara Jean’s Restaurant located on Ferry Drive on Lady’s Island closed its doors on September 2 after being in business for nine years at that location.

Mr. Howard Graham, who guided the building of the restaurant in 2002 and served as the president of the company, has been part of the Lady’s Island community, along with his family, for a number of years. We wish them well in their future endeavors and thank them for their contribution to our community over the years. As a note of interest the Barbara Jean’s Restaurant in Charleston closed last May but those in Georgia and Florida will continue to be open.

“Headache is one of the most common reasons for physician visits by patients. One study tracked 953 headache patients for five years. They made nearly 4,000 visits to doctors in seeking relief from headache. Though physicians have identified and classified muscle tension headache, the medical literature is virtually absent of any treatment other than drugs or psychological therapy. These patients went to every conceivable medical specialty but only 8% of those visits were to dentists. Every dentist who has treated patients knows that the bite can cause multiple health problems termed, TMJ syndrome or dysfunction.” (Mytronics: Vol 23, Nov. 07) My daughter and partner Katherine Hefner and I have treated hundreds of patients with great success eliminating such problems as temporal (side of head) headaches, headaches at the base of the skull, neck ache, jaw pain, shoulder pain and ringing of the ears. the island news | september 12-18, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

By Dr. Michael Staley

It’s not something most men think about unless they have a problem. The prostate — a walnut-sized gland that’s part of the male reproductive system — generally lays low until about the time men hit their forties.

At that point, the prostate begins to grow, often causing problems with urination. While they are often dismissed as natural consequences of aging, such symptoms can have serious effects on quality of life.

In addition, prostate cancer Dr. Michael is the second leading cause of Staley cancer deaths in men. One man is six will get prostate cancer during his lifetime. But if it’s detected early, then it is likely a treatable disease with multiple options for treatment.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and a great time to talk with your doctor about what you can do to maintain your prostate health. Below are some questions to help get the conversation started.

Q. Is it necessary to get an annual PSA test?

A. Yes. Although the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force decided last year not to recommend regular prostate-specific antigen screenings, most urologists still feel it’s important for patients ages 55 to 69. At the least, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of the test and see if it’s right for you.

free prostate cancer screenings at bmh In recognition of September’s Prostate Cancer Awarness Month, Beaufort Memorial Hospital will be offering free prostate cancer screenings for men 50 or older.

Screenings will be held Thursday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center, 1680 Ribaut Road in Port Royal.

Appointments are required. Call 522-5585 for information and to register.

The screening will involve two separate tests: a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test and a digital rectal examination by one of Beaufort Memorial’s board-certified urologists. Neither of these tests on its own is an indicator of prostate cancer, so the combination is recommended to provide the most accurate diagnosis. Drs. Michael Staley and John Adams of Coastal Carolina Urology Group will be conducting the exams.

Q. What does a PSA test entail?

A. The PSA screening is a simple, inexpensive blood test that measures the blood level of PSA, a protein that is produced by the prostate gland. If the levels are too high, it signals that further investigation is in order.

Q. Is it true that prostate cancer is frequently slow-growing?

A. Yes, often it is. But once it spreads beyond the

prostate to distant lymph nodes, bones or other organs, the five-year survival rate plummets to 29 percent.

Q. Is surgery a better alternative than “watchful waiting” for treating prostate cancer?

A. Closely monitoring a patient’s condition can be appropriate in some cases. But prostate surgery, also known as a prostatectomy, has been shown to offer the best long-term results. Depending on the type of cancer and your overall health and preferences, your doctor may recommend other options, including radiation or cryotherapy.

Q. What are the advantages of a robot-assisted prostatectomy?

A. Because the minimally invasive procedure can be performed through several small incisions in the abdomen, there is significantly post-operative pain and quicker recovery. There’s also significantly less blood loss. Patients are discharged from the hospital just one day after surgery and will need a catheter for one week. In comparison, open surgery involves a two- to three-day hospital stay and two to three weeks with a catheter.

Board-certified urologist Dr. Michael Staley is a member of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s medical staff. A graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, he is the only physician currently performing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery in Beaufort County. Staley sees patients at both Coastal Carolina Urology Group in Beaufort and at Beaufort Memorial Bluffton Medical Services in Westbury Park. To reach Dr. Staley, call (843) 524-7607.

Participants still needed for focus groups on improving care During the three months Flossie Chaplin took care of her dying sister, only once did she witness the suffering that comes at the end of life.

“My sister was a strong person, both emotionally and spiritually,” Chaplin said. “But when her body started breaking down, she asked, ‘Why do I have to go through all this pain?’ It was difficult watching her anguish.”

Chaplin was one of several family members who cared for 62-year-old Norma Johnson in her final days. A diabetic, Johnson had numerous health issues and had been deteriorating since 2000. First a toe had to be amputated, then one leg, then the other. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and later bladder cancer.

“She went through so much, but she never complained,” said the 66-year-old Chaplin. “She didn’t act like she was in pain.”

A resident of St. Helena Island, Johnson didn’t have access to palliative care, a new type of medical specialty that focuses on relieving the suffering

and improving the quality of life for people with serious illnesses.

Although it has been shown to reduce patients’ symptoms, alleviate pain and reduce hospital costs, palliative care is not available in many geographic areas of the country, especially in rural sections of the southern United States.

As part of a palliative care study being conducted by the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina, Beaufort Memorial Hospital is hosting a series of focus groups to help identify the kind of care that would be most helpful to two different ethnic groups — African-Americans and Caucasians.

Using the real-life experiences of local residents like Chaplin who have tended to terminally ill patients, researchers will design a palliative care program based on the diverse cultural end-oflife care preferences of patients from the two populations.

Previous studies have shown ethnicity and culture strongly influence patients’ preferences for end-of-life care. African-Americans, for

example, want aggressive treatment at the end of life, regardless of prognosis. They also choose to include family members and religious leaders in their decision-making process.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital is currently seeking participants for the African-American focus group. To meet the study criteria, you must have cared for a family member or other loved one 60 or older who died within the last year. The caregiving must have taken place in the Lowcountry.

The African-American focus group sessions will be held from 5:30 to 7:45 p.m. Sept. 19 and 6 to 7:45 p.m. Sept. 26 at USCB, Beaufort College Building, 801 Carteret Street. Sandwiches, snacks and beverages will be served. Participants also will receive a $20 Walmart gift card and a $15 gas card for each session they attend.

To participate in the focus groups or for more information, contact Cindy Coburn-Smith at Beaufort Memorial at 843-522-5835 or ccoburns@bmhsc.org.

St. Helena resident Norma Johnson was cared for by several members of her family during the final days of her life.

Her sister Flossie Chaplin is among several local people participating in a new study by University of South Carolina and MUSC that will focus on the needs and experiences of local end-of-life caregivers.

top five ways to breathe easier at home this fall While we can’t do much about the air outside, Bob Cunningham, owner of the Merry Maids office serving Beaufort, has provided a list of five simple housekeeping tips that can make it a little easier to breathe at home.

1. Many cleaning products contain chemicals that can trigger of mimic allergic reactions. Whenever possible, choose the non-toxic or all-natural product and even then make sure you are working in a well-ventilated space 4

and that you are not mixing products with bleach or ammonia.

2. A good vacuum cleaner costs less and lasts longer than most smartphones and, when used daily, is an excellent investment in your family’s health. In fact, using a vacuum that has a HEPA filter daily can trap 99% of allergens that are in the air.

3. Even in the cleanest homes, ceiling and standing fans are often overlooked, which is unfortunate because build-up not

the island news | september 12-18, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

only causes fans to work less efficiently, it can eventually lead to long-term breathing problems for everyone in the house. All fans should be cleaned at least once a month during the times when they are being used most.

4. Even if you are just doing light housework, wear house clothes and change, launder them in hot water to kill dust mites and shower immediately afterwards. You don’t want to have any breathing-inhibitors lingering on your

body or your street clothes.

5. In an average home without pets, air filters should be changed every 90 days. Add one pet, every 60 days. With multiple pets, if you suffer from allergies, have a smoker in the house or live in a humid or high-pollution area: every 30 days.

For other tips on allergy-proofing your home, visit Merry Maids of Beaufort at merrymaids.com or call Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843-522-2777.

Think about what you think about when you think about it

By Martha O’Regan

What is that supposed to mean?

Let’s begin with simple science and philosophy, like ‘input equals output’, ‘what goes around comes around’, ‘for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction, Yin/Yang, cause and effect, etc. These phrases basically mean the same thing — balance. The absence of balance creates stress and frustration, pain and disease, economic crisis and even war. So, what does balance mean and how do we maintain it daily in our health, relationships, and environment?

Our body’s attempt to balance is automatic, not the part that thinks, but rather the part that reacts, based on the survival or healing needs of the system. For example, when you are cold, you shiver to warm up or when you are hot, you perspire to cool off. This is all provided we don’t create interferences that ultimately get in the way of this natural balancing process. Interferences occur for a multitude of reasons — poor lifestyle choices, stored memory and stinking thinking.

Nature is dynamic and in a constant state of change, continuously seeking to achieve balance. Plants and animals don’t think, judge or reason, but rather respond to its environment to maintain proper balance for its survival. We see this yearly as the seasons change. Trees

automatically grow new leaves in the spring and drop them in the fall, squirrels don’t have to be reminded to store nuts for the winter, and the blue crabs even know when to shed their shells in time for the Soft Shell Crab Festival.

Human beings are also dynamic and in a constant state of change, continuously seeking to achieve balance.

Unlike nature, humans do think, judge and reason which regularly interferes with the natural rhythms that are designed to assist with balance. Every function in our body occurs due to a message from our nervous system, which registers either survival or rest and digest. It’s been said that if we could just be dumb as a tree, we’d be happier and healthier. Trees don’t get stuck in worry about their next drink of water, or judgment that they are better or prettier than another tree, or fear that they may get struck by lightning or infested by

They just respond to their natural environment and in many cases, live for hundreds of years.

What if we could get out of our head and just respond to our surroundings responsibly rather than interfere by reacting inappropriately?

It’s possible, but requires conscious choice and self awareness. By thinking about what you think about while you are thinking about it you can become aware of your thoughts. If you catch yourself thinking the same thought or creating the imaginary dialogue (you know, the one that will likely never occur), just think shift, cancel, delete or anything that will pick up the needle and begin to sing a new song. Change the radio station by shifting to something more pleasant to think about, seeing the lesson of the situation you are chewing

on, or simply thinking “I am joy” (or fill in the blank with whatever you want to be in the moment — peace, confidence, clarity, etc).

Not only does science confirm it, but I believe most of us can feel how our thoughts and reactions affect our physical experience. With this knowledge, we can begin to tune into the conversations and constant chatter in our head, then begin to shift our awareness for our own health and well being. Try it — you’ll be glad you did.

But will it hurt?

Today’s dentistry offers the comfort to move ahead

By Dr. Stephen Durham

We make those preferences as much a part of what we know about a patient as his or her dental history.

And we review the patient preferences every morning for the Dr. Stephen folks we’re going to Durham see that day. Caring for hesitance is as important as any other part of a dental procedure.

Sometimes people don’t address dental problems because they foresee discomfort, even pain. We call this hesitance, and we work carefully to set it aside, because when people avoid the dentist their teeth don’t get better.

Often real pain results from hesitating, because dental health is linked to a person’s whole physical well-being.

The solutions keep advancing Injections to prevent pain during dental procedures were a huge step forward in their time, and they still play an important role. Yet even the injection itself was scary for some patients. Dentists began using topical anesthetics to numb the area before the injection, and that improved the experience for many patients.

Still others remained hesitant. Previous experiences, including childhood mishaps, often create a landscape of apprehension for the patient that is quite real, even though the apparent reasons have been overcome.

The qualified use of gas to bring a state of relaxation can be varied according to the patient’s needs, and this has opened the door to recovery for many people.

Still others prefer sedation.

Today patients have at their service

Whether you just need a little reassurance, or prefer to sleep through the whole visit, dental care can be a comfortable experience.

various forms of sedation dentistry.

They range from a state of relaxation, to a “twilight” sensation, to full sedation.

One advantage of sedation dentistry is that courses of treatment that might have taken weeks or months to complete can now be done in one or two visits, with this kind of comfort support.

Providing patients a spectrum of comfort Today’s dentists have an array of options available to them to overcome patient apprehension. For instance, our practice

Progress without pain Many patients have memories to overcome in becoming comfortable with their dental care, and we get particular satisfaction from helping them with this.

From mild anxiety to real fear, we respect how our patients feel, and we support them in every way available, to empower them in their journey. That begins with making patients comfortable and it extends through earning and deserving their trust for life.

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

Deadline approaching for Tdap immunizations Beaufort County parents, facing a Sept.

20 deadline to make certain that their seventh-grade children have mandatory “Tdap” immunizations, got some welcome assistance from state health officials.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control announced a special free walk-in clinic this Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Okatie Elementary School.

DHEC staff will be on hand with enough Tdap boosters to immunize 300 seventhgraders. The boosters protect children against whooping cough, tetanus and diphtheria.

Beginning Friday, Sept. 20, seventhgraders who haven’t provided proof of Tdap immunizations will not be allowed to attend school. Schools began informing parents last school year about the new state vaccination requirements. But as of today, about 350 seventh-graders across the district had not provided updated certificates of immunization showing that they had received Tdap boosters. Thirtyday extensions granted last month will expire on Sept. 20.

“This is a state requirement, and there’s no wiggle room left,” said Chief Student Services Officer Gregory

McCord. “Parents need to make sure that their seventh-graders have the Tdap vaccinations that are required by the state — and DHEC’s much-appreciated free clinic this Saturday is a way to get that done at no cost to parents.”

DHEC’s Dana Millet said Saturday’s walk-in clinic will not require appointments, which should provide easier access for parents.

“This free Tdap vaccine is the best way to prevent whooping cough, and we’re working with the schools to make this vaccination as convenient as possible for parents,” said Millet, health director

for DHEC’s Lowcountry Region. “A student’s health is directly related to his or her ability to learn. That’s why school nurses work with our frontline staff every day to help our children stay healthy — so they can stay in the classroom and learn.”

Most infants get the Tdap vaccination, but its protection fades as children age, according to DHEC officials. According to a 2011 national immunization survey, only 59.4 percent of teens ages 13 to 17 have had the booster shot in South Carolina, compared to 78.2 percent nationally.

The BA cheerleaders volunteered as face painters at the Military Appreciation Day, hosted by The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, on Saturday, Sept. 7.

Miscellaneous • $100,000 grant is aimed at expanding, intensifying district’s Child Find initiative The Learning Center of Beaufort, in conjunction with the Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina, has awarded the school district a two-year $100,000 grant to expand its efforts to identify young

the island news | september 12-18, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

children who might benefit from early childhood programs, early intervention programs and targeted community resources.

The district’s existing Child Find initiative is aimed at ensuring that children in Beaufort County enter school “ready to learn.” Among other things, Child Find conducts screening tests to identify young children ages 2½ through 6 who are at risk for physical, mental, developmental and social support issues. Child Find also connects children and their parents with community agencies, health care providers and early childhood programs that can provide targeted assistance.

“The goal of Child Find is to identify young children who need extra help, then to assist the parents of those children by connecting them with that help,” said District Superintendent Jeffrey Moss. “This grant will intensify our efforts to make sure that when children come to school for the first time, they have the basic skills and knowledge they need to get off to a strong start.”

school district The first of five town hall meetings for parents and community members to meet with Superintendent Jeffrey Moss will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12 in Hilton Head Island High School’s auditorium.

“These meetings will be an opportunity for parents and community members to get to know me a little better, and also for me to listen and learn,” said Moss, who took over as superintendent two months ago. “I’m hoping to get a lot of useful feedback about what parents and community members in all areas of the county perceive to be our most important challenges.”

The town hall meetings north of the Broad will be held: • Whale Branch Early College High School: Oct. 8, 6-7 p.m.

• Beaufort High School: Oct. 22, 6-7 p.m.

• Battery Creek High School: Oct. 30, 6-7 p.m.

school bridges preparatory school

A welcome from new interim head of school Hi, I’m Bernie Schein.

It is my distinct pleasure to offer my temporary services as Interim Head of School at Bridges Preparatory School in Beaufort. For those who don’t know me, I’m from Beaufort, I earned a Master’s degree in Education at Harvard University and I worked for 33 years at The Paideia School in Atlanta. I’ve also served as a teacher and principal in Mississippi and South Carolina.

My deep knowledge of The Padeia methodology, coupled with three decades of hands-on experience with it, will help us move forward at Bridges Prep while the Search Committee seeks a permanent Head of School.

After my first day on the job here at Bridges, it is easy to see the many facets that make this a special learning

community. Students, faculty and parents welcomed me with open arms and big smiles. That’s what I love about working in education — every day we shape the future.

I will spend my evening hours familiarizing myself with the Bridges Preparatory School official charter and other documents essential to this state-sponsored charter school’s formation. My daytime hours, though, are committed to helping students, staff and our families succeed.

Here at Bridges Prep, we follow the Paideia principles: • All children can learn and therefore they all deserve the same quality of schooling, not just the same quantity; • That the quality of schooling to which they are entitled is what the

wisest parents would wish for their own children, the best education for the best being the best education for all.

Our charter states that “Bridges Preparatory School will strive to place all students on a level playing field not only through the Paideia instruction/ methodologies but also by engaging students, families and the community to have a more active role in the education of its future citizens.” To that end, I encourage parents, local businesses and our community to come visit us at Bridges Preparatory. We have lots of ways you can get involved and we welcome volunteers.

If you have any questions about Bridges Preparatory School, or my work to help us move forward, please contact me at 843-982-7737.

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

My dog eats grass!

By Tracie Korol

My late dog, Dave, used to crop grass like a cow. He’d eat it with gusto, often the second thing he did once out in the yard in the morning. He ate grass so enthusiastically a friend referred to him as “The Ruminant.” His habit didn’t bother me too much, since it didn’t have any ill effects on him, whatsoever. But I’d groan when he’d hork up a wad on the carpet, not just once, but twice. Always twice.

Grass munching is actually normal dog behavior. Dogs excel as scavengers.

They’ll eat anything they find lying around, including dead animals, poo and random pieces of god-knows-what.

Their love of grass may have started early in the evolutionary process of canines, as they would entirely consume their prey, including the stomachs of plant-eating animals. When they couldn’t catch enough prey to survive, the wild dog was forced to seek out alternative methods of survival such as greens, berries and fruits. Wolf biologist David Mech notes that grass appears in 14% to 43% of all wolf scat found in North America and Eurasia. Plant material in fox and coyote scat, including grass, is so common as to be unremarkable. Our Best Friends may have simply developed a taste for grass and plants to go along with their love

of bones and meat. While they may no longer eat an entire animal carcass, their love of leafy green substances remains.

Another theory is that grass-eating dogs seek fiber, vitamins and minerals. If your dog isn’t getting enough of what he needs from his kibble, he may eat grass as a way to get what his body needs to survive. Dogs that are fed “diet” kibbles — you know, the ones with powdered cellulose, pea filler and a load of chemicals — are often the most ardent munchers as grass is the only fresh thing available to them.

Yet another popular theory is that dogs use grass as a sort of natural emetic: that, since a nauseous dog lacks the phalangeal structure necessary for the ‘finger down the throat’ move, he’ll resort to what he can find as an alternative. It’s true that grass does sometimes make dogs vomit. Tickly stems can irritate the stomach lining, and there have been a

few occasions when I’ve seen dogs throw up a chunk of something indigestible along with a wad of grass.

Grass eating is nothing to worry about — it’s a life-long habit with many dogs, and if yours decides that it’s no longer in his best interests, he’ll simply stop eating it. Keep an eye on him around recently treated lawns, or anywhere where nasties like pesticides, herbicides and snail bait could be around as garden chemicals are highly toxic. Ideally, you’d be keeping an eye on him anyway if he’s around those substances, but grass-eaters are at higher risk than most since they’re more likely to ingest treated greenery.

If your dog’s grass eating is really bothering you, there are a couple of things you can try doing to reduce his desire to supplement his diet with

backyard eatables. The easiest thing to do is introduce green vegetables into his diet. Green beans, parsley and broccoli are good for a start and dogs tend to like their taste. Supervise him whenever he’s around grass. Distract him from grazing in tainted grass with a voice command or a more-fun activity.

This is not a particularly user-friendly option, especially for off-lead walks.

Realistically, though, there’s not much you can do about your dog’s grass-eating habit aside from denying him access to grass entirely, which wouldn’t be fair to your dog. Plus it makes your daily dogwalk more of an exercise in frustration than a relaxing stroll.

The consensus from experts seems to be that grass eating, although somewhat of an enigmatic pastime to us humans, is just ‘one of those things’ as far as your dog is concerned. It won’t do him any harm, and you can be sure that if he’s eating it, he’s enjoying it — why worry about such a simple pleasure?

Watching your dog ripping up and chewing generous mouthfuls of turf with an expression of half-lidded bliss on his face can provide you with some unexpected entertainment, too.

HBF lecture series: SC civilians in Sherman’s path Personal experiences of the final blow of defeat to the citizens of South Carolina in 1865 will be discussed by archivist Karen Stokes of the South Carolina Historical Society at the Verdier House Dinner & A Lecture series, Monday, September 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street.

An army of over 60,000 Union troops led by Gen. William T. Sherman swept through South Carolina as the Civil War was in its final months and the motivation of the attack was to punish the state where the seeds of secession grew to full blossom. Hundreds of affected residents recorded their harrowing experiences in letters, diaries, memoirs and newspaper accounts, much of which is corroborated by the testimony of

Sherman’s officers and soldiers.

Stokes brings these stories together in “South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path: Stories of Courage Amid Civil War Destruction” and will share them in her lecture. Many of the accounts offer a graphic depiction of the destruction that changed South Carolina forever.

Stokes, who has worked with the manuscript collection at the Historical Society for over 15 years, has published numerous articles on South Carolina history. She will provide copies of her book for sale and will sign them at the event.

Lectures are scheduled for October 26,“When South Carolina was an Armed Camp: The Reconstruction

Essays of Belton O’Neal Townsend,” by historian Stephen Hoffius, and for November 18, “State of the Heart: SC Writers on the Places They Love,” by editor/writer Aida Rodgers.

“Dinner and a Lecture” is open to HBF members and non-members; the lecture series features a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 5:30 – 6 p.m. The program is 6 to 7 p.m. followed by audience questions. Admission to the lecture is $15/$25 per member/member couple respectively, and $20/$30 per non-member/non-member couple respectively. Seating is limited; call 379-3331 to make reservations. A three-course dinner at Saltus River Grill is offered at $19 per person for attendees at the lecture. Call Saltus at 379-3474 to make reservations.

HAT DANCE ICEBREAKER

The Junior Cotillion started its season with the Icebreaker Dance. Fourth through eighth grade students from ten different area schools were in attendance at The Old Arsenal. The students did the Mexican Hat Dance as an icebreaker. Junior Cotillion will meet next on September 22 at 2 p.m.

thank you Beaufort Lion’s Club yard sale was roaring success

Despite the renovation of Downtown Beaufort’s streets, the community clawed its way through the congestion of road pavers, street machines, etc. to support our yard sale, Saturday, September 7, 2013.

We were ready to sell promptly at 8 a.m. and the early birds were there to open the can of goodies first hand.

We had a great time selling items donated to the yard sale and also mingling with the community and sharing with them the Lion’s Club services and what the club is all about.

The Beaufort Lion’s club would like to thank the contributors of all donations for the yard sale and the volunteers that were there and behind the scenes that help make this yard sale a successful one. Thank you.

celebrating service Beaufort Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., reflects on year of achievements

As the local chapter of the Beaufort Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. prepares for another calendar year of service to the community, many take this opportunity to reflect on the various projects and events participated this past year.

More than 40 members of the chapter attended the sorority’s Centennial Celebration held in Washington, DC, July 13-17. The sorority founded on the concepts of public service, scholarship, and sisterhood has a rich history of service in the Beaufort County area. As a part of the Centennial Celebration, many of the chapter members have taken part in the yearlong calendar of events including: Founders Day Weekend in Washington, DC; the re-enactment of the historic Women’s Suffrage March in Columbia, SC and in Washington, DC; and the passage of the Centennial Torch, to name a few.

On, June 29, the chapter closed out the calendar year with their first annual Family and Friends Day. The Family and Friends Day was an end of the year event, to celebrate with others, the 100 years of service that Delta Sigma Theta Sorority has achieved.

The chapter members participated in several national events including the St. Jude Give Thanks Walk, the March of Dimes March for Babies and the America Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Notably, the chapter was recognized at the Centennial Celebration for their efforts in conjunction with both the St. Jude and March of Dimes projects.

Several other local events were held to include the International Day of Service featuring a health

walk at Battery Creek High School.

Another highlight of the year was their annual Crimson and Cream scholarship fundraiser held in February. Funds raised are contributed back into the community in various ways — most notably through scholarships and their mentoring program. This year’s scholarship recipients were Akilah Jefferson, Beaufort High School, Kallie Brown, Battery Creek High School, and Shakailla DeLoach, Ridgeland-Hardeeville High School.

The in-house scholarships recipients were Tiara Cooper and Caisey Dickson, both of Beaufort High School.

The mentoring aspect of the sorority takes place in the form of the Delta Academy and Delta GEMS programs. These programs place special emphasis on preparing middle to high school age young ladies as the future leaders of the 21st century.

Debra G. Jackson was honored for the second time as the chapter’s Delta of the Year for her contributions to the chapter’s goals and activities.

The opening of a new restaurant is always exciting, but even more so when it comes from the owners of Southern Graces Catering, Chris and Bethany Hewitt. Their latest venture, Burlap, located in the former Fried Green Tomatoes building on Boundary Street, showcases an amazing array of delicious breakfast and lunch dishes that put a twist on the traditional for a memorable dining experience.

The Lunch Bunch loaded up on appetizers because they all sounded so good.

From the breakfast menu, which is served salad with romaine, country ham, deviled Shortcake cobbler in a jar and a piece of all day, Daniel devoured the Lowcountry egg, smoked turkey, tomato, cucumber, coconut cake, and both were excellent.

The atmosphere at Burlap is cheery with Boil omelet with shrimp, smoked sausage, toasted pecans and housemade warm bacon dressing.

I enjoyed my Build-A-Trio a pastel color palette and rustic touches, cheddar cheese and topped with zesty corn relish. Elizabeth couldn’t resist the Burlap salads with Green Goddess chicken salad, such as mason jar hanging lights.

The Three Musketeers

By Celia Strong

Introducing three new wines to taste and choose from this week. With three choices, each of us is bound to like at least one of them. Yay! Also, because I know we did do white wines three weeks in a row, this threesome gives those of us who favor red wines a chance to catch up. Yay, again! Of course, if you’re one of us who like white wines and red wines, you’ve been happy all along. A big, third yay!

So, we go to California this week.

To begin with, let’s look at the name, label name, of our wines. Rusina. Even though the history of this label is pretty young, its name has an ancient history.

Going back to ancient Rome. From multiple, previous lessons, we have learned that many of the wines we drink now can actually trace their roots back to this ancient civilization. And this is also the case with the name “Rusina.”

Ancient Roman religion, to help its civilization cope with all the harshness and insecurity and unknown of their lives, covered almost every aspect of life.

This included the growing, harvesting and storing of their crops. In some cases, specific crops even had their own specific deities. The major agricultural deities were Ceres and Saturn. Between 272 BC and 264 BC, four temples were built and dedicated to four separate agricultural gods (Consus, Tellus, Pales and Vortumnus). Historians claim that the mere existence of these four temples, all built within an eight year period, shows a high degree of concern for the crops’ success. “Rusina” was the Goddess of the Fields. (Our English words “rural” and “rustic” are both derivatives of the Latin “rus” and “ruris.”) Personally, I like this story, and, definitely, I prefer to drink a wine named “Rusina” than Vortumnus. Sober or tipsy, Rusina just sounds better. Hmmph. Oops, a digression.

Back on course, our first wine is the Rusina Cabernet Sauvignon. The gray colored label. The grapes for this wine come, one hundred percent, from Paso Robles, California. Cabernet from Paso Robles has its own distinct style, flavors and textures. The climate here is quite

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

The philosophy at Rusina is to grow each variety where it can show its flavors and textures well, and then to make each wine so that we, the drinkers, get exactly that in our glasses. Because these wines are not from Napa or Sonoma and come from more southern parts of California, the prices on our three Rusina wines are more affordable.

These are great wines at everyday prices. a bit warmer, hotter is probably much more accurate, than Napa or Sonoma.

Daytime temperatures during the summer can get as high as one hundred degrees for multiple days, while, at night, they have been known to drop up to fifty degrees lower. These ups and downs let the grapes ripen more slowly than they would in 24 hour days of really warm temperatures. The soil here has limited nutrients and is calcereous with a high pH. Not Napa, but easily as good for growing Cabernet grapes. Some of the winemakers in Paso Robles believe if Robert Mondavi had built his winery in their area, instead of Napa, Paso would now be the home to California’s best and most expensive Cabernet Sauvignons.

The wines from Paso Robles grapes have full fruit flavors and big, though smooth textured, tannins. The Rusina

“We think long term. Always have. Always will.”

grapes are hand picked, destemmed,

and fermented, temperature controlled, in stainless steel. Rusina Cabernet Sauvignon is full of ripe berry flavors, strawberry jam, black currant, Chinese Five Spice powder and hints of leather.

It is aged in both French (vanilla) and American (clove) oak barrels. One yay!

Rusina Zinfadel, with the green colored label, is made from Lodi fruit.

Lodi is an area in the Central Valley of California, a warm and lush appellation.

Also, more southern than Napa and Sonoma, with a warmer climate.

Zinfandel vines in Lodi are some of the very oldest in California. Wines from these grapes are usually juicy and approachable. (See a pattern in the smoother, juicier texture of wines from this part of California?) Our Rusina Zin is a full bodied wine, with raspberry jam, toasted oak and hints of black pepper in it. These grapes are also destemmed, and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The different lots of grapes are fermented separately from each other, and barrel aged separately also. Twenty percent American oak barrels are used and give the finished, blended wine cola and clove flavors.

Eighty percent French barrels enhance the tannins, the finesse of the wine and nice, round vanilla notes. Two yays!

And, finally, we come to our Rusina Symposia. The red colored label.

“Symposia” is the plural of “symposium.”

We usually use the word “symposium” to

mean a meeting or conference to discuss or study a certain topic. If we back up a bit, the word “symposia” comes from the Ancient Greek and meant a drinking party, followed by the evening meal. It would have had only men attending, and included songs, and games and entertainers. (Women, I believe, were included as the entertainers.) After the Greeks, the Ancient Romans adopted the same word for themselves. (My thinking is they adopted the whole drinking party idea and just used the same basic name for it.) But, another digression. So, our Symposia wine is a blend of Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, Lodi Zinfandel, Lodi Petit Sirah and a splash of Monterey Syrah.

Each variety is picked, destemmed and fermented by itself. Yes, in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. By making each variety into its own wine, there is more control over how the blended wine turns out in the end.

The separate wines are also aged in oak, averages being thirty percent in American and seventy percent in French.

This wine’s flavors include rich berries (blackberry, raspberry, strawberry), toasty oak, with its clove and vanilla, and pink peppercorns. Its textures are round and lush feeling in our mouths.

Three yays!

And, there is our modern day Rusina.

Not a goddess of the fields, but a wine from specific fields (vineyards). The philosophy at Rusina is to grow each variety where it can show its flavors and textures well, and then to make each wine so that we, the drinkers, get exactly that in our glasses. And, now, we are in a position to understand and enjoy these wines for what they are. Because they have not come from Napa or Sonoma, we gain one more advantage with them, as well. Coming from more southern parts of California, the prices on our three Rusina wines does not have to pay for vineyards in Napa and Sonoma.

And we win again. These are great wines at everyday prices. Each is $11.99. So, try them all. With each, think of other wines in this price range. Compare.

Savor. Choose a favorite. If you can. Or if you need. But, enjoy.

We don’t take long term risks chasing after short term gains. We think long term. Always have always will. Some may say we’re conservative. They’re right, we are conservative. It’s your money that’s deposited with us. We have to be. That’s one of the reasons we are consistently rated as a strong bank.

Exchange Club speaker discusses human rights

There are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in human history.

Men, women, and children right here in South Carolina are being exploited for manual and sexual labor against their will. Victims are subjected to forced labor, sexual exploitation and involuntary servitude. Jobs can range from yard work to prostitution. Human trafficking is a crime against individuals that violates the most basic human rights of its victims and deprives them of personal freedoms. Kelly Hall with the SC Attorney General’s Office will be the speaker at the next Exchange Club meeting on Thursday, September 12. Exchange, America’s Service Club, is a group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live through programs of service in Americanism, Community Service, Youth Activities, and the Prevention of Child Abuse. The Beaufort Club meets twice a month at the Golden Corral. For more information, call 525-0102.
