LT. DAN WEEKEND RETURNS!

Beaufort welcomes gary sinise, the lt. dan band, and all the wounded veterans and their families On Friday, September 16, at 8:30 p.m. in the Henry C. Chamber Waterfront Park, the Lt. Dan Band and actor Gary Sinise will take center stage in front of wounded veterans and their families who are attending the second annual Lt. Dan Weekend. Gary and the band have traveled worldwide to entertain those serving in the military.

The band is named for “Lt. Dan”, the character Gary portrayed in the 1994 film “Forrest Find out Gump,” a role about all the other for which awesome he earned events taking an Oscar place this nomination weekend. for Best PAGE 21 Supporting Actor.

As Gary began visiting troops around the world, people (even little kids) who didn’t know him as Gary Sinise the actor, would recognize him as “Lt. Dan”. Those in the military also identify strongly with the character. And so, the name for his group became an easy choice: Lt. Dan Band! The band plays everything from Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix classics to contemporary songs by Kelly Clarkson, Evanescence, Beyonce, Lonestar, the Zac Brown Band and much more.

It is the purpose of the Low Country Plein Air Society to further the tradition of plein air painting both in and outside the art community and to preserve

the landscape which is our inspiration through support of organizations whose emphasis is conservation of our natural resources.

STRAIGHT TALK: POLITICS

Wilson: Same failed approaches will lead to same failed results Congressman Joe Wilson, Republican, released the following statement after President Obama’s addressed a joint session of Congress this evening regarding the Administration’s jobs program: “The past months have brought difficult times for American families: a downgrading of the country’s credit rating, an extremely volatile stock market, sinking consumer confidence in the economy, and dismal jobs reports. With more than 1.7 million jobs lost since the Administration’s last failed stimulus in February of 2009, I find it disappointing the President has waited this long to introduce a jobs program.

“Unemployment remains at 9.1%

U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson represents South Carolina’s Second Congressional District.

Contact his local office at 521-2530.

with a net gain of zero jobs last month.

Tonight, President Obama stated he wants to use another $447 billion taxpayer funded stimulus to launch his jobs program. The Administration’s last stimulus plan added $814 billion to our national debt. More importantly, it failed to accomplish its goal. The unemployment rate ballooned past the

8% mark the Administration promised the stimulus was designed to prevent.

Employing this same failed approach will not only add to our nation’s debt but will also fail to provide a long term solution to America’s high unemployment rate.

“By passing numerous of job promoting bills designed to encourage small businesses to hire and help with job creation, House Republicans have shown their commitment to jump starting the nation’s economy this Congress. Now is the time for Senate Democrats and the President to really help families who want jobs. Let us work together to adopt real reforms that will have an immediate impact on job creation.”

Port Royal: A town on the move

By Joe Lee, Councilman, Town of Port Royal Council In late July I was invited to provide an update on the status of the Town of Port Royal. I accepted the invitation knowing full well there would not be any problem coming up with sufficient content for such a report. Our August has been a whirlwind of activity.

First, as a community, we had to fight hard to convince the school board to keep open one of the few community schools left in America. With solid support from the entire county, we were successful.

Now we are on to planning the “Century of Learning” celebration on September 24, a special afternoon recognizing Port Royal Elementary School at 100 years old — one of only two active schools in the state at 100 years. In conjunction with the school’s 100 year celebration, the town is sponsoring a homecoming dinner for all current and former Port Royal residents and the town is planning events for next year’s celebration of the 450th anniversary of Jean Ribaut’s landing at Parris Island. This established the first settlement of Protestants in the new world, years ahead of St. Augustine and Jamestown.

We recently met with Governor Haley and the Budget and Control Board in Columbia on August 9 to have them approve the sale of the port property for $17 million dollars.

Although we have been to this step

before, we feel with local developers and local planners, we will have a better opportunity to close the sale this time. Estimates put the actual closing at November. There are plenty of details to work out and council will be intimately involved if changes come to our 2006 development agreement or PUD. On August 12 we broke ground for our Cypress Wetland project. This takes a stormwater management system and turns it into an amenity for citizens, students and tourists who want to photograph birds, wildlife and local flora. This project designed to retain stormwater prior to it’s flowing into the Beaufort River at 12th street has a $600,000 dollar price tag and will be funded by using a combination of TIF funds and stormwater receipts.

We already have calls from tour companies seeking to add this to their itinerary.

The town purchased The Shed this summer for $500,000 using hospitality tax revenue. We are currently working with management companies to develop a plan going forward to utilize The Shed to the best advantage of the town, the residents and the region.

We feel this along with the wetlands project will attract visitors who will eventually lead to the re-development of our retail area along Paris Ave. We can’t wait for the development of the port to mature in order to attract businesses; we need the vitality that a dynamic retail environment brings to

the area NOW. We must remind everyone that we have a $4.7 million dollar annual budget, 10,000 residents and less than 45 employees — with these facts, our $1.1 million dollar investment in amenities is something that makes us standout among our peers.

Our day-to-day activities account for the energy that is stored up for a revitalized Paris Avenue. Our Historic Port Royal Foundation has active committees working on expanding the museum in the Union Church — we must point out the high level of cooperation we are receiving from our neighbors at the Parris Island museum. Historic Port Royal Foundation sponsors a series of lectures on local history every winter and free community suppers to bring neighbors together.

We are about to open the second span across the Beaufort River and this winter we will be paving Ribaut Road from the bridge to the bridge over Battery Creek and we will likely, in the future, see SCDOT re-route U.S. 21 through Port Royal to eliminate the difficult left turns at Ribaut Road and the bridge. Our challenge now is to get residents who live in the areas at the base of the bridges to make turns against the increased traffic at the increased speeds.

And, finally, this is an election year in Port Royal, our mayor and two council members are up for election. We use the off-year cycle to increase interest in local issues.

news weekend crime REPORT NICE TRY: An 18-year-old boy was caught drunk in public with possession of alcohol near Bay St. and Wilmington St. After writing him two citations, the police officers turned the boy loose to some of his friends who were supposed to take the boy home. Only a half hour later, the boy was spotted vomiting on the sidewalk still heavily intoxicated. This time, he was placed under arrest and it was later discovered that he had given the officers a fictitious name. Maybe the next time you try to pull one over on the police, you should find a less public place to hurl, or you’ll risk upchucking your identity too.

THE RUNS: When an officer attempted to pull over a car with no taillights, the car sped off trying to flee arrest. The man bailed on his friends in the car, making a run for it on foot. Not only did the passengers in the car identify him, but his photograph was also found. But hey, sometimes you gotta go when you gotta go.

TAXI NAP: One ticked off taxicab driver had to call a police officer when his intoxicated passenger passed out in the cab. The officer had the man sit outside on a bench while he attempted to find him a new ride. When the man came to, he became feisty and verbally abusive toward the officer and was then placed under arrest. It’s a bit sad when even a taxicab won’t give you a ride home, don’t badmouth the officer, man. He’s just trying to hook you up with a ride because no one else will. C’mon now.

RSVP: Two accounts of theft from vehicles this past weekend. One victim left her purse on the front seat of her car with the windows rolled down. Later the purse was found minus a Benjamin. The other victim left her car keys dangling in the trunk lock and, when she returned, her purse and contents valued at $480 were stolen. Just to keep you guys in the know, leaving car windows rolled down or keys in the trunk lock while your valuables are inside the car is as close to a formal invitation as a crook needs.

ELECTRIC THIEF: Over the weekend a television and video games valued at $1,000 were stolen at a location off Second St. Also stolen, $3,200 worth of electronics from Rogers St. and $950 worth of electronics from Hogarth St. Jiggle-a-mesa-cara, this thief is pumpin’ like a matic! If any of your friends with shiny new toys was ever a big fan of the Electric Slide, he/she might be suspect.

news brief County launches new Spanish language website

Beaufort County has launched a new, Spanish language, disaster safety and recovery website, www.desastres.info. The site includes a complete translation of the County’s English language disaster recovery site, which is located on the home page at www.bcgov.net. It also includes information on hurricane preparation, current evacuation maps and the English and Spanish language hurricane hotline number, 1-866-706-8223.

Gary Kubic, Beaufort County Administrator, said he hopes the Hispanic community will become acquainted with the material posted at the new site. “Not only will this information protect lives and property; it will help reduce the resources that must, inevitably, be allocated by the county to assist uninformed residents during and following a disaster. For example, those who fail to evacuate when required, may have to be rescued by county or municipal first responders. First of all this puts more people at risk and, secondly, it creates additional costs.”

Jets to play vital role in national defense, local economy Construction of a $33 million F-35 pilot training center and $37 million Joint Strike Fighter training hangar, along with improved flight trials of the Marine Corps’ F-35B model, are timely as China expands its military, local leaders said.

Marine Corps Air Station-Beaufort is slated to receive 88 F-35B Joint Strike Fighters, including three combat squadrons and two training squadrons. The first jets could arrive in 2014. Groundbreaking ceremonies earlier this month kicked off construction projects related to the new stealth jets’ arrival.

“This is a strategic day for this base and for our nation. I’m really proud of Beaufort …. The people of Beaufort deserve to

F-35B vertical landing.

be very proud. You earned this, you won this,” Maj. Gen. Jon Davis, Commanding General of the 2nd Marine Air Wing, said at the groundbreaking.

“The reason we are buying this airplane is to ensure that young riflemen have the

protection to do the job. This airplane is going to save lives and protect our nation,” he said. Like all Marine Corps aircraft, the F-35B is designed to provide close air support to troops on the ground.

His comments came amid reports that China continues its push into weapons technologies where the United States traditionally has led, including stealth fighters such as the F-35 and large aircraft carriers.

“The pace and scope of China’s sustained military investment have allowed China to pursue capabilities that we believe are potentially destabilizing to regional military balances, increase the risk of misunderstanding and miscalculation, and may contribute to regional tensions

and anxieties,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia Michael Schiffer said recently.

“It is critical to our nation’s security that the F-35 program continues on schedule, and that includes the construction work here at MCAS-Beaufort,” said Lt. Gen. Garry Parks, USMC (Ret.), chairman of the Beaufort County Military Enhancement Committee.

“While we certainly need the injection of construction jobs associated with the $350-plus million to prepare for the Joint Strike Fighters, what we’re really looking at is our nation’s ability to defend itself and its interests globally, now and into the future,” Parks said.

HOT TOPIC RESPONSE: What do you think about South Carolina’s new voter photo ID requirement?

The problem with getting voter ID’s is all the other paperwork required. We took our daughter through the process last year. She had a stroke several years ago and was just re-entering the independent world. It took days of driving her from one office to another to get her birth certificate, social security card, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, utility bills with fees and long lines at every stop. Someone who doesn’t have their driver’s license would have a hard

time doing this alone. The ID isn’t issued easily as the state must verify with a paper trail who you are and that you are a resident of your district.

More than 180,000 South Carolinians are registered to vote, but don’t have driver’s licenses. Many of those who don’t have driver’s licenses don’t have birth certificates either from what I understand. This situation exists among the poor in SC. Many of the poor and handicapped don’t own cars and have

never applied for a license. They would all have to get a state-issued ID and all the paperwork to support it. So you can see that those most impacted are the poor and handicapped. This doesn’t seem fair to me as they deserve a vote as well as the millionaires.

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

new club in town focuses on

moms supporting moms

By Pamela Brownstein

When Kim Palmer found out her husband would be stationed at Beaufort and the family would soon have to move from Houston, Texas, she went online to check on the local chapter of the MOMS Club. She was surprised when her search came up empty. The wife of a Marine and mother of three had a feeling that would change when she got to town.

Having been actively involved with the MOMS Club in Pensacola, Fla., and in Texas, Palmer knows the value of the club and describes it as a great way for women to come together.

The MOMS (Moms Offering Moms Support) Club is an international organization developed for stay-athome mothers. The club helps them feel good about their decision to stay home, and gives them opportunities to share activities with other at-home mothers and their children.

Palmer said meeting up with other moms is helpful. “It’s reassuring to know you’re not the only one getting no sleep, without your hair done, and deprived of comforts.”

She realized the importance of having women to rely on when she was pregnant with her third child and living in Tunisia, where her husband

was deployed. She said the isolation was hard, “I desperately needed the support of other moms.”

Local MOMS Club chapters have meetings with speakers and discussions, park play days, play groups for preschool children, baby sitting co-ops, activity groups like arts and crafts, and a monthly MOMS Night Out — something Palmer said she especially looks forward to because it is fun.

She is in the process of making a calendar of events, which will also

include swimming days, going to the movies and a cooking club. Since she is new to the area, Palmer said she will like to get input and ideas from other moms who are more familiar with Beaufort.

Eventually, she hopes to reach out to the community through service projects and raising money for nonprofits that target women in need.

At a recent meeting at the playground in Waterfront Park, other mothers gathered with their young children, chatted about life in Beaufort, traded

stories of motherhood and even divulged insider advice about the best clothes to wear while breast feeding.

Palmer said she aims to bring military and non-military moms together, and to create a nice group of women who give support and take support.

“It’s a lot of effort, but I really believe what the MOMS Club stands behind,” she said.

lowcountry social diary Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.

9/11 Commemoration in the park solemn, reflectful Photos and story by Lanier Laney The city of Beaufort and 20 area church groups worked together in partnership for a day of remembrance commemorating 9/11 at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort last Sunday. Beaufort County’s own local first responders were honored and applauded by the large, very appreciative audience in attendance. Between speeches by local dignitaries and music by local groups, “Taps” was played four times as audience members stood to honor those who died during each of the four attacks.

Beaufort resident and 9/11 widow Teri Maude gave a very moving speech. Her husband, Lt. General Timothy

J. Maude, the Army’s deputy chief of staff for personnel, was killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into his Pentagon office. Her husband, along with everyone else who died, was a hero, she said, adding, “Today is Patriot’s Day. Today is about every single individual who gave their life on Sept. 11. Today we come together to remember and fulfill that promise we made to one another to never forget.”

Awards were given to Fireman of the Year Ross Vezin and Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Investigator George Erdel.

9/11 commemoration

A day to remember deserves more than a day For those who were not able to make it to the doubleheader Day of Remembrance ceremonies on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, you missed two moving back to back events.

The first was organized by Mayor Pro Tem Donnie Beer on behalf of the city of Beaufort; the second was organized by the faith community, spearheaded

by Pastor Shannon Mullen and his colleagues from the Beaufort Ministerial Alliance.

Both were a community celebration of those who were lost during 9/11 and the heroes who worked tirelessly and at great risk trying to save those

they could.

As we focused again on the first time in the lives of many Americans — when we were

surprised and forever burdened by the loss of thousands of innocent people on our own soil — tears rolled down our

cheeks, we cheered for our own first responders and heard inspirational speeches and readings followed by prayer.

Immediately following the tragic series of events on 9/11, we were reminded how the nation pulled together selflessly working to help others bringing together our nation together with a unity of purpose. We were one and we were strong.

I am also reminded how, among our daily challenges individually and as a nation, it is easy to lose this sense of unity that gives our great nation the strength and wherewithal to lead.

No more finger pointing. No

more name calling. No more disrespect for each other. Civil discourse, honest efforts toward compromise and forward movement that benefit all should be another remembrance from that day of tragedy.

We are a great people and the Day to Remember should become a launching pad for more unity, more understanding and more collaboration in these troubled times so that we leave a safer and more productive world to those who will follow us.

What better way could we honor the victims and heroes of 9/11?

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

School district creates new communication service

By Tess Malijenovsky

The Beaufort Country School District is launching a new service this month that will deliver important information to parents and guardian via phone text messaging. This new service will enhance communication so that folks can be informed more quickly. Parents and guardians will only be sent information that is timely and relevant, promises Dr.

Alford, Chief Instructional Services Officer of the Beaufort Country School District. Students, however, may also receive instructional content such as an SAT word or math problem of the day.

In order to participate in this new free text messaging service, text any of the following words to the number 68453: subscribe, option, yes. You’ll know you were successful if you receive

the following reply message: You are registered to receive aprox 3 msgs/mo.

Txt STOP to quit, HELP for help.

You’ll want to repeat this process for any wireless numbers that you wish to include.

Just to be on the safe side, Dr. Alford also suggests that you ensure that your wireless numbers are logged in the school district’s student information

database. If you haven’t already done so, you can contact your child’s school to provide them with that information.

One last note, while the school district does not charge for this service, it does not pay for text message charges that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Please check with your wireless carrier for possible charges.

Grandparents raising grandchildren

By Tess Malijenovsky

Thanks to a pool of community efforts across the board, a unique and important support group is gaining popularity in Beaufort Country. Years after raising their own children, many adults within the community are becoming “parents” once more to their grandchildren, only now times have changed. Grandparents Raising Grandchildren is a national group for grandparents and nontraditional families that helps supports them in their role as guardians.

“We saw a need in our community with more grandparents raising their children or nontraditional families raising children. [Grandparents Raising Grandchildren] was an organization that we wanted to start to help support those families,” says Ashley Hutchison of the Beaufort County School District.

Along with the Beaufort County School District, the Beaufort County Collaborative Organization of Services

10

for Youth and Parents Anonymous of South Carolina are sponsoring this organization and expanding to new locations in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area in hopes of reaching out to more of these nontraditional families. “Our main concern is keeping [grandparents] linked to the community and letting them know what resources are out there to help them support their children,” Hutchison says.

Grandparents and nontraditional families that take in a child unexpectedly face many challenges, such as child custody or the financial burdens of school uniforms and health care. Also, many things have changed in the children rearing business since back in the day.

Grandparents may need help keeping up with the new trends of raising children.

While the group mainly gathers to share ideas and common concerns, there are also presentations from the Department of Social Services, Department of Alcohol

the island news | september 15-22, 2011 | www.yourislandnews.com

and Other Drug Abuse Services, and the school district that provide important information on resources within the community concerning education, early intervention, childcare, child support laws, respite care, adoption, Medicaid and legal assistance. Grandparents are linked directly to educational programs, food banks, thrift stores, and school social workers often ease their burdens.

The next meeting for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren will be held in the Hilton Head IB Elementary School Parent Resource Center on Sept. 19 at 5:30 p.m. Childcare will be provided.

“Definitely there are more grandparents out their in the community that we haven’t reached yet and we just want to keep going,” says Hutchinson.

For more information, contact Ashley Hutchison at the Beaufort County School District (521-2399); Paula Settles at Beaufort County COSY (521-3150), or Lorain Tascoe-Bey (726-1092).

Dental emergency procedures can help save a tooth Let’s face it — pain is one of the main reasons the majority of the population goes to the dentist. Unfortunately, only 50% of the U.S. population routinely visits a dentist. A painful tooth can be triggered by hot or cold foods and drinks.

Heavy biting or grinding may break a tooth and cause it to hurt when you chew.

Sometimes, when a filling falls out, you may have a throbbing ache.

One of the most heart breaking situations we treat here are dental emergencies-especially those involving children in an accident. The worst time to look for a NEW dentist is when you are in pain with a tooth. Having an established relationship with a family dentist that you feel comfortable with can help ease the pain in these emergency situations as well as resolve the problem quickly.

Dr. Jennifer Wallace Dr. Wallace practices at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort and can be contacted at 843-524-7645 or at www. palmettosmilesofbeaufort.com.

Handling a dental emergency can be tricky when you or a loved one is in pain, but a quick and appropriate reaction can help save a tooth in danger. The American Dental Association recommends that you become familiar with these dental emergency procedures just in case you ever have a dental emergency.

• If a tooth is knocked out, hold the tooth by the crown and rinse the root in water if it’s dirty. Do NOT scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments.

If you can, gently place the tooth back

in its socket or store it in a cup of milk and head for the dentist (with the tooth) immediately.

• If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and apply cold compresses on your face to reduce swelling. Go to the dentist immediately.

• Treat a bitten tongue or lip by cleaning gently with a cloth and applying cold compresses to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop after a short time, seek immediate treatment from your dentist or emergency room.

• If a toothache is getting you down, rinse your mouth with warm water, gently floss to remove food that may be trapped around it and see your dentist as soon as possible. Do NOT apply aspirin to the tooth or gum tissues.

• A jaw injury or possible fracture needs immediate attention at your dentist’s office or the emergency room. Apply cold compresses on the way to reduce swelling.

• If a loose or broken wire from your braces is irritating your mouth, cover the wire end with a small cotton ball, beeswax or a piece of gauze until you can get to the dentist. Seek immediate treatment if a wire gets stuck in the cheek, tongue or gum tissue, but don’t try to pull it out yourself.

• If you have a dental emergency while you are traveling, check the yellow pages under “dentist” for the number of the state or local dental society; the society will be able to refer you to a nearby dentist. Or, visit the local emergency room and ask for a dentist referral. If you are abroad, contact the U.S. Embassy or hotel personnel for a dentist referral.

How I survived yoga boot camp

By Sherri Little

Once upon a time there was a young(ish) woman who was looking for some positive change in her life. She was a fairly happy person, with a loving husband, two wonderful young adult children, great friends and a satisfying job. But still, she felt like something was missing. She felt at a crossroads of sorts and found herself struggling, looking for a way to grow and find her “purpose” in life. She needed something new, something to spark the creativity and energy that she knew still existed somewhere deep within.

Encouraged by a girlfriend, she took a six-week yoga course, learning basic poses. She liked the class and felt great afterward. But she was sometimes lazy and only made four of the six sessions.

So she signed up for the next series. She made three of those classes.

Meanwhile, she continued to struggle.

Her days were mostly happy, especially at Happy Hour, or at the beach, or traveling to any destination with sand and palm trees. Life WAS good, just missing something.

One day, above mentioned girlfriend encouraged her to start going to yoga again. It had been six months since her last class and she had gained about 12 pounds over the year. She was feeling bloated and unattractive.

So she began going to yoga classes fairly regularly and found she really enjoyed it. Still, she felt kind of “blah” and knew she needed to make some serious lifestyle changes. She wanted to be fit in body, sound in mind and lifted in spirit. At precisely that time, she saw a flyer with a big headline reading: Revolutionary Yoga Boot Camp. It will transform you! (Cue the soundtrack from “Jaws” or “Psycho” — either would be appropriate.)

And so she enrolled for the eight day program.

Excited to begin her new journey, the student rolled out her yoga mat and Yogitoes and prepared to perspire a little. The room was heated, which the naïve student thought was pretty hip and cool. As she shook and wobbled into her 15th Vinyasa, concentrating equally on breathing and not vomiting, she wasn’t as convinced that she needed transforming. What she needed was to get out of that heated Hell and find a place where she could open an ice cold Corona—and whimper.

Having survived the first two days of boot camp, the student embarked on a “fruit feast,” touted by her perky and wise yoga instructor as an elixir to rid the body of toxins and to bring the mind into focus and awareness. Three days, six bananas, a mango, four avocados, three zucchini, four bell peppers, two cucumbers, five tomatoes, eight nectarines, a watermelon, a cantaloupe, numerous assorted berries and 14 figs later, her muscles were weary and her mind was mush. Still resolute, she trudged up the studio stairs, one aching leg followed by the other, rolled out her mat and sank into Child’s pose, silently cursing the first Downward Facing Dog that was coming.

Maybe it was an onset of a fruit coma.

Maybe it was sheer exhaustion. But something was wrong. Bad wrong. The perky and wise instructor was nowhere to be found. Instead, a menacing, malevolent figure clad in spandex stood before the class.

“Utkatasana!” demanded the instructor. Beads of sweat already trickling from her forehead, she took a Chair pose. “Lower!! Give me 10 more inches!!” yelled the spandex demon. She lowered her quivering rear four more inches.“Now hold it there. Squeeeeeeze.

Rock back on your heels. Can ya feel it?

Huh, can ya??” the instructor taunted.

“OK, rise.”

Relief, she thought, her quads twitching randomly.

“UTKATASANA!!”

Oh, God, noooooooo, she silently pleaded. With her knees bent, quads shaking uncontrollably, arms wilting in the air, sweat spilling into her eyes, she sat back for another Chair pose. “Just breathe through it. Inhale. Exhale,” she thought. “Find your happy place.”

“YOU! GRASSHOPPER!! What do you think you’re doing?”

Another breath in, another breath out…keep going, she coaxed herself, not realizing the instructor had been bellowing at her.

“I said DROP LOWER!” the instructor screamed, inches from her grimacing, sweaty face.

“I can’t,” she mewled, suppressing both a sob and a fart.

“What do you mean you can’t? Where did you leave your ‘YES,’ Grasshopper?” the instructor mocked. “Be here. Be in the NOW. AND YOU BETTER BE IN A STINKING CHAIR POSE

WHILE YOU’RE HERE AND NOW, understand??”

She lowered her butt one.more. inch. Deep breath in…and then she toppled to her perspiration-soaked mat, completely spent. Her quads were spasming uncontrollably, her breath coming in gasps, her hair matted to her forehead in a gnarled mess. The sadistic instructor lurched toward her and she began pleading, “Please, no more utkatasanas. I beg of you, Master, for the love of Ganesh, no more Chair poses.”

The merciless instructor began poking her and shaking her. “Young(ish) woman, young(ish) woman, wake up, wake up. You’re having a nightmare.”

The young(ish) woman rubbed open her eyes and there in front of her stood the perky and wise instructor, smiling.

“We were in Savasana and you were having a nightmare.”

“You mean I don’t have to do another Chair pose? Not even a Warrior Two?” she asked timidly.

“Not tonight,” the kind instructor answered. “That’s behind us. Maybe tomorrow, but that’s in front of us. Just be present. Be here. Right here, right now.”

For three more days, the young(ish) women stayed present on her mat, flowing through her Sun Salutations in cadence with her breath, reaching and turning into Prayer Twists as if she were wringing out a sponge, and even holding Eagle pose as her arms trembled and her ankles tottered.

She experienced many physical and mental breakthroughs that week and when graduation day arrived, the young(ish) woman felt accomplished and invincible. She had strength, focus and inspiration. With the spandex demon a distant memory, she turned to her perky and wise instructor and thanked her for inspiring a transformation.

“Just remember,” the wise instructor said with a mystical smile, “if you seek the truth, be willing to come apart, step out of your comfort zone, commit to growth, shift your vision, drop what you know, relax with what is, remove the rocks, don’t rush the process, be true to yourself, be still and know, and understand that the whole is the goal, your journey will continue, Grasshopper.”

CHILDREN’S EYE HEALTH & SAFETY MONTH It’s that time of the year that children start to participate more in sports, recreation, crafts or home projects, it’s important for them to know eye safety practices and use protective glasses as appropriate. Each year thousands of children sustain eye damage or even blindness from accidents at home, at play in the car or even at the dinner table (forks can be detrimental to the eye).

More than 90 percent of all eye injuries can be prevented through use of suitable protective eyewear.

Sports deserve particular attention, because eye injuries occur fairly often in children and young adult athletes: between the ages of five and 14, most sports-related injuries in the U.S. occur while playing baseball.

Preventing Injuries • Children should wear sports eye protectors made with polycarbonate lenses for baseball, basketball, football, racquet sports, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, paintball, and hunting.

• All chemicals and sprays must be kept out of reach of small children.

• Parents and others who provide care and supervision for children need to practice safe use of common items that can cause serious eye injury, such as paper clips, pencils, scissors, bungee cords, wire coat hangers and rubber bands.

• Teach your children by example by safeguarding your own sight with ANSI-approved protective eyewear during potentially dangerous yard work and household repairs or projects.

• Only purchase age-appropriate toys.

• Avoid projectile toys such as darts, bows and arrows, and missile-firing toys.

• Look for toys marked with “ASTM”, which means the product meets the national safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials.

• Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs. Pad or cushion sharp corners. Put locks on all cabinets and drawers that kids can reach.

• Do not allow your children to play with non-powder rifles, pellet guns or BB guns. They are extremely dangerous and have been reclassified as firearms and removed from toy departments.

• Do not allow children anywhere near fireworks, especially bottle rockets. These fireworks pose a serious risk of eye injury and have been banned in several states.

An ophthalmologist, primary care doctor, school nurse or children’s health service should examine the eye as soon as possible, even if the injury seems minor at first, as a serious injury is not always immediately obvious. Delaying medical attention can cause the damaged areas to worsen and could result in permanent vision loss or blindness.

Last week we took a look at the importance of eyebrows and how they frame and shape our faces. Our brows enhance our natural features and can even offer a spectrum of looks from bold and flashy to demure and chic. Finding the perfect shape and angle of your natural brow can be a simple task when equipped with accurate knowledge.

In order to achieve a brow shape that compliments your facial structure the use of a plain Khol eyeliner pencil Takiya and a well-lit Smith bathroom vanity will suffice. Standing in the mirror, take a good look at the present shape of your brows and using your eyeliner pencil, mark a small spot to reflect where they begin, arch and end.

Now, holding the eyeliner pencil at a forty-five degree angle, line it up with the outer corner of your eye so that it meets the eyebrow. This area, known as the tail, marks where you eyebrow should end. Be sure to mark a spot on this area to see the difference in your original placement.

Next, holding the pencil at a ninety degree angle, place it directly in front of your eye near the outer corner of your iris. This marks the appropriate position of the arch, which varies individually. Lastly, still holding the pencil at a ninety degree angle, move it to the inner corner of your eye and place it against the skin to line up with the beginning of the brow, known as the bulb Taking a step back, observe the previous markings compared to the latter. If your brows are pretty much within the confines of each other, you have already won half the battle to achieving superb brows.

Membership has advantages at Lady’s Island Country Club Lady’s Island Country Club opened as the Royal Pines Country Club in 1972 and has been offering top-notch service and amenities ever since. Everyone is welcome to enjoy all that Lady’s Island Country Club has to offer. You don’t have to be a member.

But membership has a lot going for it. There are two membership options.

One is a social membership with which you can get discounts on food and proshop merchandise, access to the pool and invitations to members-only events.

A full membership gives you all that plus a great deal on all the golf you can play and access to the national handicap system.

But really, the members-only events alone are worth the price of admission.

Each spring, the North-South golf tournament offers two days of fun, which claims tongue in cheek that “there is nothing civil about this war”. They jest. It’s a great weekend of camaraderie.

There is a holiday party and several club championships open only to members, too.

Full membership also is the ticket into the golf leagues. The men tee it up on Thursdays and finish their round with a buffet lunch. Women play an 18-hole format on Tuesdays and a 9-hole format on Wednesdays.

Come check out Lady’s Island: the tennis courts were recently spruced up, and the pool is salt water.

It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and make new friends.

But member or not, Lady’s Island is a warm, inviting place to have lunch, Thursday dinner or the monthly Friday night prime rib. Happy hour starts each day at 4 p.m. (except Mondays when the restaurant is closed.)

Come check out Lady’s Island, especially if you haven’t stopped by in a while. For example, the tennis courts were recently spruced up, the pool now features salt water which doesn’t dry out your skin like chlorine and the menu borders on gourmet, thanks to Chef Will.

At the club’s core, though, is golf. The greens are smooth, fast and sloped, offering a challenge to all golfers. With five tee sets, you can dial in the course length that fits your game.

Lady’s Island Country Club has been around a while, but is still fresh as ever.

Check us out on Facebook, Twitter or on the website at www.ladysislandcc.com.

Importance of Dental Cleanings If you think about it, one of the quickest ways to the bloodstream and ultimately the body is through the gums, particularly bleeding gums.

It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone.

Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

When the markets turn as volatile and confusing as they have over the past year, even the most patient investors may come to question the wisdom of the investment plan that they’ve been following. At Hand and Tanner Financial Group, we’ve seen a lot of difficult markets come and go. And we can certainly empathize with folks who find the current environment troublesome and disturbing. We’d like to help, if we can, and to that end, here’s what we offer: A cup of coffee, and a second opinion.

By appointment, you’re welcome to come in and visit with us. If we think your investments are well suited to your goals-in spite of current market turmoil-we will gladly tell you so, and send you on your way. If, on the other hand, we think some of your investments no longer make sense, we’ll explain why, in plain English. And, if you like, we’ll recommend some alternatives.

Either way, the coffee is on us.

Child prodigies do us all a big favor

By Jack Sparacino

I was channel surfing recently and, like someone wandering through a huge flea market on a clear Saturday morning, I encountered a gem among all the other whatnots and clutter. A singer. Her name is Jackie Evancho.

She has been competing on the popular and entertaining TV show, “America’s Got Talent.” She has a marvelous stage presence and a lovely, HUGE operatic voice. Close your eyes and you are at a fine show anywhere in the world. She has a CD out, “Dream With Me.” Oh, yes, one other thing. She is 10.

This young lady got me thinking about child prodigies, a subject we barely touched in my school years.

What are they, exactly? How do they get that way and come to our attention?

How do they do in later life?

I’m still digging into this, but I have learned a few things recently. First, they are found all over the world and have been around since, probably, the dawn of man. A child prodigy is a person who, very early in their life, excels far beyond normal levels for their age in areas requiring profound ability. Their skills often involve math and music but cover a wide swath including art and even philosophy. They are as rare as a baked potato sitting next to you in math class or a vegetarian tiger.

Scientists have studied brain activity

in prodigies and learned that their long term working memory, specific to a particular area of expertise, may be superior to other people’s over long periods of time (hours). Studies have also pointed to interesting differences between prodigies and the rest of us in how the cerebellum helps to make their thought processes more efficient.

Hopefully, there are prodigies studying their fellow prodigies and they will learn ways for all of us to process information, think and perform better.

Of course child prodigies usually benefit from a supportive environment, much as the rest of us do better when we are strongly encouraged to succeed and rewarded when we do. Interestingly, some prodigies, like harpsichordist and composer George Frideric Handel, appear to have achieved historic success with little support from their families. I call this the “hell or high water” effect, children with so much talent and motivation that practically nothing can stop them.

Many child prodigies leave us practically speechless, to the extent that we can even comprehend what they are doing. As a very young child, Shirley Temple sang, acted, danced, and helped keep up America’s spirits during the Great Depression. Korea’s Kim UngYong received a Ph.D. at age 15 and is reported to have the highest IQ in the world. Australian Aelita Andre shocked

September Specials

the art world with her abstract paintings at the age of ... 2! Gregory Smith, who could read at two, was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize at 12. These are relatively recent examples of incredible genius and accomplishment. But again, children have been astounding us for a long time. Austrian Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed and performed what we now label “classical music” at concert levels when he was barely 6. He composed his first opera at 12.

Ah, opera, and back to young Jackie Evancho and her remarkable singing. In a world of bad economies, natural disasters, cruelty, ugliness and suffering, there is still lots to be cheerful and optimistic about.

The sun still breaks over the horizon in the morning. Flowers are still pretty, puppies and kittens still warm our hearts. Our friends and family still provide comfort and make us laugh. Human kindness has not gone out of style. Bravery and devotion to doing the right thing are still with us and within us. But there is something especially magical about seeing a child who is more than a “star,” greater than an amazing show or two. I think those children give us renewed confidence that we do live in a special world, with special people and special experiences.

It’s almost enough to make you forget, even for a few moments, all the disasters and despair in the news every day.

Almost.

beaufort then

& now: history with holly

Abbie Holmes Christensen, 1864 From Anne Christensen Pollitzer

The story of my family in Beaufort began in 1864 when my great grandmother, Abbie Holmes, arrived by steamship from New York City with her parents Reuben and Rebeccah Holmes and her little sister, Georgina. Abbie was 12 years old and her sister was 4. The Civil War was still raging. The steamship was safe on its journey because the southern coast was blockaded by the American navy and all of Beaufort was held by the Union forces. They would not be fired on.

The family landed at Hilton Head Island where all newcomers had to check in and be processed. In fact, there was a hotel on the island for visitors and onlookers. After they were okayed, the family went in a smaller boat into the town of Beaufort, where soldiers were in the streets and lounging on the stairs of the big houses.

Abbie Christensen wrote her impressions and her deepest thoughts and feelings in her diaries, which she kept for the next 60 years. These diaries are now part of a collection in Columbia along with other papers, letters, and documents available for students who want to study this period in history.

She described how large numbers

About Holly Lambert 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 Sea Island Hotel

of freed slaves came in following the Northern armies, especially those of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman.

They were called “Contrabands” until they were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. He sent several hundred to the commanding general in Beaufort, General Saxton, just before Christmas of that year with a note saying that this was his Christmas present.

So how did they survive, arriving in winter, barefoot with only the one set of clothes on their backs; men, women, and children? Many black families who had been in Beaufort for some time, took them in, allowed them to sleep on the floor of their homes, gave them meals as much as they could until they found some work and shelter of their own.

One section of the town became

a village of freed slaves and it was located beside and behind the National Cemetery that was being built at the time. The location is now referred to as being “behind the bricks.”

One way these people earned money was to prepare meals for the soldiers and officers in the town. Abbie Christensen described the waiters who balanced trays of food on their heads and delivered these to army locations, often in the big houses that had been abandoned by their northern owners on “the Day of the Big Gun Shoot.” On that day, the Union navy took over Beaufort.

Abbie’s parents came to Beaufort to teach school to freed slaves and, when she was 16 years old, Abbie did the same, using the money she earned to pay for her education at Mount Holyoke

college in Boston. Reuben Holmes had also helped to farm an abandoned plantation on Coosa Island so that the valuable cotton crop could be harvested and money for the war brought in.

Reuben Holmes later set up a grist mill on Carteret Street to grind corn into grits; he bought a large wooden house on Bay St. near the ferry boat dock to Lady’s Island and opened a boarding house. He then built a lumber mill on East St. The logs for the mill were cut on St. Helena Island and tied in large rafts. They were then floated to the mill on the tide, anchoring them when the tide turned, then floating again when it went the right way. There was a little shed on top of the logs for the workers’ shelter because it took several days to get to Beaufort.

Ten years later, Abbie Holmes met Capt. Niels Christensen, a Union officer who had been sent to Beaufort to manage the National Cemetery on Boundary Street.

Niels planted trees and flowers and it became a popular picnic area where he met Abbie and they were attracted to each other. They were married in 1875 and had six children who grew up in Beaufort.

lt. dan weekend

S

eptember 14 to 18 marks the second annual Lt. Dan Weekend, a four-day event that honors severely wounded veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. From Beaufort to Ridgeland, Hilton Head to Fripp Island, Bluffton, Lady’s Island, and Parris Island, neighbors and merchants have banded together earning money for this worthy cause. In March 2011, the Independence Fund, sponsor of the Lt. Dan Weekend, needed $75,000 to make the 2nd annual Lt. Dan Weekend possible.

As of September 1, more than $180,000 has been collected in cash and other inkind donations thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers, the generosity of residents and merchants, and corporate donors.

Fundraising aside, the Lt. Dan Weekend is a much needed retreat for wounded veterans and their loved ones.

On Wednesday, Sept. 14, the veterans, their families and caregivers arrived at Palm Key in Ridgeland, where they were welcomed with open arms by owners and volunteers who will make their stay a memorable one. That evening, local favorite Shannon Tanner performed a concert.

During the next four days, they will enjoy true Southern hospitality including lodging, meals, live entertainment, and a variety of recuperative programs.

Today, Thursday, September 15, the veterans will travel to Beaufort for the Conflict Zone Photographic Exhibition.

The Conflict Zone is a groundbreaking look at war through the lenses of the world’s leading combat photographers with proceeds to help injured troops and journalists.

After the exhibit at City Hall, veterans will travel to Waterfront Park for the screening of “Lt. Dan Band: For the Common Good”, hosted by the producer and director, Jonathan Flora. The 8 p.m. airing of this film is free and open to the general public.

On Friday, Sept. 16, a concert that will rock the Lowcountry takes place at 8:30 p.m. at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. A movie comes to life when Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band take the stage in front of 150 wounded veterans and their loved ones. The concert is open to the general public for a modest ticket fee, and all proceeds benefit our wounded veterans. Gates will open at 5 p.m. Ticket holders are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets for seating, but no coolers, strollers, or pets.

Earlier that day, the 2nd Annual Lieutenant Dan Golf Classic will take place on the Parris Island “Legends” course.

On Saturday, Sept. 17, a Lt. Dan 5K Run will kick off at 8:45 a.m. Also on Saturday, a Lt. Dan Bike Ride will take place at the Marine Corps Air Station from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the self-contained 11-mile loop within MCAS. Also on Saturday, Sept. 17, locals, wounded veterans and families and Beaufort visitors will line the streets in the historic district for Beaufort’s 300th anniversary parade. Actor Gary Sinise will serve as grand marshal and will share his ride through downtown Beaufort with two Medal of Honor recipients, Jay Vargas and Drew Dix.

GOLF CLASSIC TEES OFF

FREE SCREENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILM AT WATERFRONT PARK On Thursday, September 15, at 8 p.m. at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, Jonathan Flora — producer, director, and recipient of the inaugural Santini Patriot Spirit Award — will host a free screening of his award-winning documentary, “Lt. Dan Band: For the Common Good.”

American Airlines and Armed Forces Insurance are sponsoring this event on behalf of our severely wounded veterans, their families, and caregivers who are attending the second annual Lt. Dan Weekend.

Also teaming up for the troops are the Beaufort Film Society, Jack Carter’s Lemonade Stand, and the Jonathan Independence Fund. The Waterfront Park will be open Flora to the public and sponsors encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the free screening and to buy a glass of Jack’s lemonade to benefit the troops. Before the movie, the Groove Tones will entertain those gathering at the waterfront park.

5k runs through downtown On Saturday, September 17, the Lt. Dan 5K Run will begin at the corner of Bay and Bladen Streets. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and the race starts promptly at 8:45 a.m., just minutes before the start of the parade celebrating the city’s 300th anniversary. The run takes place along the parade route, around the National Cemetery, and ends in a spot where participants can enjoy the final display of floats depicting Beaufort’s history since its inception in 1711. Registration fee is $30 per person.

Sign up online at www.LDW2.com and click on 5K. Last minute registration will be accepted at Bay & Bladen Streets. The event organizer anticipates 800 runners to line up on Bay Street and take off just ahead of the parade. For more information contact Randy Wentworth at (843) 252-4224. Here is a link to the 5K Route. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/46833876

On Friday, September 16, at 10 a.m., golfers tee off at the second Annual Lt. Dan Golf Classic on the Parris Island “Legends” course with the background of a double graduation taking place barely a three wood away on the Parris Island parade deck.

Dick Clarke, Lt. Dan Weekend coordinator, reported that $10,000 worth of prizes are available to participants, most are free rounds of golf on courses throughout the Lowcountry, including some very prestigious, members-only links. Advance entry fee is $70 per player and registration can be accomplished online at www.LDW2.com Registration on September begins at 9 a.m. and will cost $80 per player. Registration fees include cart fee, greens fee, and a box lunch courtesy of Beaufort area Subway shops. Golfers may sign up individually, or as a two, three, or four person team.

Play is limited to the first 120 entries, so sign up today. What better way to honor our severely injured veterans and the most recently forged Marines who will be joining the ranks of some of the most honorable warriors of any age?

For more information, visit www.

LDW2.com and click on the GOLF tab or contact Robert de Treville at (843) 379-8877 or (843) 473-5165.

All proceeds will be donated to The Independence Fund, a 501(c)3, all volunteer nonprofit with a mission to provide the tools, therapies and guidance to those veterans severely injured in the War on Terror that they otherwise are not receiving.

Exhibit features unsurrendered Civil War flag

the silo effect A poem by Peggy Perry

The “unsurrendered flag” carried

by Beaufort’s Civil War militia will be the showpiece of a new exhibit opening at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street, September 16th, in observation of Beaufort’s tricentennial and the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. The exhibit, “The Beaufort Artillery: Guardians of the Lowcountry Since 1776,” was developed by Historic Beaufort Foundation and curated by Ron Roth.

Artifacts and memorabilia owned by HBF, the former Beaufort Museum and the Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum will illustrate the history of the unit which was called to fight in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and World Wars I and II. It was eventually absorbed into the S.C. National Guard and is the antecedent of the Beaufort unit.

The BVA flag which hasn’t been seen in Beaufort for 115 years was badly damaged and deteriorated when it was given to the Relic Room in Columbia in 1896 by the unit’s second Civil War captain, Dr. Henry Middleton Stuart. It has been in storage since then.

The flag, designed and sewn by the women of Beaufort, was presented to the local militia on George Washington’s birthday in 1858. War clouds were gathering and the women used the occasion to present the BVA with its “colors” for use in anticipated battles with the North.

Sacred to the troops, “colors” were carried as rallying points and inspiration to follow into battle. Seriously damaged

To spook her boon companion, She poked her head Into the old silo And howled, Knowing that the hollow, Echoing shaft Would evoke a ghostly tone, Not knowing That doves were roosting In the dome, And, when rudely roused, Would gust With a startling flurry, As if flushed from the bush By chance in a silo, With motion close- quartered, And sound redoubled By resonant walls, She and the doves Shared a moment of terror.

Tim Rice

dinner & a lecture

The “unsurrendered” flag courtesy of the SC Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum.

during the Battle of Port Royal Sound, the flag was mended by BVA soldiers who carried it through the rest of the war.

At the surrender of BVA troops in 1865, one of the soldiers wrapped himself with it instead of giving it to Union forces, thereby claiming it was unsurrendered.

Restoration of the flag was sponsored

by HBF and Gen. Richard H. Anderson Camp #47 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Many of its members trace ancestral ties to the BVA. The Gen. Stephen Elliott Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and private individuals also contributed to the restoration.

Among numerous other items to be displayed are a presentation sword that honored Dr. Stuart’s successful reorganization of the unit in 1878 and a portrait of Gen. Stephen Elliott that also left Beaufort to be housed at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA, until it was returned by Beaufort Museum volunteers in 1971.

A special lecture and gallery tour of a new permanent exhibit at the Verdier House, “The Beaufort Volunteer Artillery: Guardians of the Lowcountry Since 1776” will be presented

by Ron Roth, curator of the exhibit, Monday, September 26, as part of Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Dinner & A Lecture series.

A spotlight on fabulous local restaurants; entertaining musings from the Happy Winos

Kooky Mooky’s: Great food to eat in the park

By Pamela Brownstein The Lunch Bunch spent a sunny, spectacular September afternoon in Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park chowing down on super food from Kooky Mooky’s.

Located in the cute little white building just off of Bay Street and across from Saltus, Kooky Mooky’s practically sits in the park. Owners Dave and Kelly Marcy have been running the operation and serving up tasty favorites like hot dogs and sandwiches to hungry families and visitors for the past two years.

The menu is written on blackboards and the tiny shop has a cozy, eclectic feel.

There’s not much room inside, so it is a perfect opportunity to eat at the nearby picnic tables in the park, especially this time of year.

Kim, Elizabeth, April and I welcomed our new reporter Tess to her first Lunch

The Carolina Dog. Owners Dave and Kelly Marcy.

Bacon cheeseburger.

Bunch outing. She ordered one of the many varieties of hot dogs, the Carolina Dog, and she said the coleslaw on top was awesome.

April and Elizabeth both felt like turkey, so April chose the turkey wrap and Elizabeth got the turkey on foccacia bread with basil mayonnaise.

I tried the Best Steak Wrap Ever

Made — a bold claim, no doubt — and it was excellent, living up to its name. I also had an amazing orange creamsicle milkshake: I don’t know how they did it, but it tasted just like the delicious ice cream bar that brought me back to the summer days of my childhood.

Although we all enjoyed our meals, I coveted Kim’s bacon cheeseburger and

think it was a must-have. It looked so fresh and juicy; it didn’t make it any easier that she kept raving about how good it was and then ate the whole thing.

The next time you are downtown and in a hurry for lunch, satisfy your cravings here. They also serve 12 flavors of Blue Bunny ice cream, if you feel like treating yourself. And don’t forget to ask Dave how the place got its funky name — it’s a great story.

happy winos

The long and wining road

By Terry Sweeney

Day, when many a remorseful amateur swears off the hard stuff. New Year’s Day I’m still guzzling champagne and whooping it up over a baked Virginia ham Terry with black eyed peas Sweeney (for luck) and collard greens (for money).

Instead, my day of reckoning always comes the last day of August, when suddenly I can barely get my shorts closed thanks to many, many baguettes of fresh baked French bread smeared with melted Brie and washed down with gallons and gallons of French, Californian, Argentine, Chilean, Italian, and Spanish fermented grape juice. Suddenly, when trying on a pair of my favorite fall khakis, I look like I’m on an episode of “Punk’d” and they have substituted an 8-year-old’s pants for mine. Unfortunately, July and August always prove too hot and humid for the kind of outdoor activities I usually like, except one — having a nice cold glass (or three) of French Rose or a crisp citrusy Sauvignon Blanc on my front porch.

Before I know it, other Happy Winos in the neighborhood start showing up with a bottle of their own or a delightful slice of some new cheese they want me to try, and suddenly Brazilian Samba music

Well, fellow Happy Winos, summer here in the Lowcountry is almost over and if you’re like me, you’re waxing nostalgic about fun times drinking wine and swapping hot gossip on friends’ porches, or throwin’ em back at rowdy raucous dock parties … or even better, raiding ice cold booze-filled coolers aboard your buds’ boats with the salt air and open sky, a wonderful reminder of why you ever chose this crazy town to begin with.

However, thinking back as your summer high-life passes before your eyes, you may also see hundreds of bottles of wine, beer, gin, and vodka come rolling by. My blue recycling bins (yes I have two and that’s nearly enough) often look like a boozy blue choo-choo train just back from Tipsyland. I overheard my trashman say to his fellow worker “Damn, these dudes must party for a living; I don’t drink this much in a year.” Of course, I was tempted to yell out my window that, as a matter of fact, I do sort of party for a living but as a very respectable wine columnist; and those dozens of bottles were all drunk in the line of duty! (Not exactly a straight line, but hell, no one was watching.)

Nevertheless, he did have a point.

There comes a time for every Happy Wino to ask the question: When is too much, uh, too much?

This day, for me, is not New Year’s

know I will) I can still get my damn pants back on the next morning! You could say I’m “wining down” before the fall social season starts “winding up.” Let’s face it, October is when the Lowcountry Party Train leaves the station and makes many stops at countless oyster roasts followed by a barrage of holiday parties until it finally screeches to a halt January 2 and most of Beaufort makes a mad dash for rehab. We certainly don’t want to miss a moment of this glorious trip to “Winoblivion,” so let’s start our training now for the happiest and healthiest Happy Wino Holidays ever. Surely you can join me in drinking to that!

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

The history of dog food When early wolf-derivatives first joined us around the fire way back in the Way Back, they were eating the same foods we were, and vice versa. But as we moved indoors and our methods of consumption became more evolved, so did that of our dogs.

During the Middle Ages both man and dog ate via “trencher feeding”. As only the very rich had table service and cutlery, common man would eat his meals from a trencher.

A trencher was a long flat loaf of bread. When finished with a meal, he would toss the trencher and any remaining bones to the dogs. Not a bad deal.

Dogs generally ate whatever food was available in their environment. For farm dogs, this could include raw meat scraps from the butcherings, raw milk, eggs and food found scavenging.

City dogs probably depended on scraps from the owners’ table, vermin, and offal and cheap cuts of raw meat from the butcher.

Only those dogs owned by the very rich or royalty had meals specially prepared for them, with great attention to the quality and addition of seasonings to the diet.

The first processed dog food was the brainchild of an Ohio electrician named James Spratt.

In 1860, while in London selling his lightning rods, Mr. Spratt noticed a pack of stray dogs swarming the London docks eating the discarded, moldy hard tack thrown off the ships by sailors. Spratt went home and concocted a biscuit of wheat, beetroot, vegetables and beef blood. The name of this new product was called Spratt’s Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes.

(Fibrine?) His biscuits came in a tin decorated with pictures of terriers, and sported the legend “My Faithful Friend’s Own Biscuit Box”, the first pet food marketing effort.

In 1907, F.H. Bennett introduced “Milk Bone” dog

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

biscuits as a “complete food”.

Mr. Spratt’s Patent Fibrine Dog Cakes and Milk Bone biscuits remained the big guns in the dog food game until the 1920’s. As automobile power soon replaced horsepower, sad for the horses, Ken-L-Ration introduced canned horsemeat as dog food.

World War I cramped KenL-Ration’s canned horsemeat business, not because horses were needed on the battlefield, but because of the shortage of tin for the cans.

Dry food was introduced in 1946. In the post-war boom, mill operators and grain dealers found a good source for their by-products in the dog food industry. Slaughterhouses found they were able to sell non-human grade, diseased meats, unusable parts, and meat by-products to pet food manufacturers. This created a market for products that previously been garbage.

Since many of these meat sources were non-human grade, the practice became common to mix these with the grains and cook them together for many hours or days to kill bacteria and disease.

The final mix was then formed into pellets that were easily bagged for convenience of feeding.

In 1957 Purina perfected the extrusion method of manufacture. The extrusion process combined and cooked the ingredients together in a liquid form, and then mechanically pushed it through an extruder that expanded the piece of dog food with air, and then baked them again. These dog food pieces were much larger and lighter than the

pellets, giving an appearance of “more for your money.” Most of us have little memory of dog food before Purina Dog “Chow”.

An active campaign was developed in 1964 through the “Pet Food Institute,” the self-serving organization representing pet food manufacturers, to inform the public of the dangers of table food scraps, and the importance of feeding processed dog food. This was accomplished through press releases to 1,000 newspapers, articles in 16 magazines, including Redbook and Good Housekeeping and airing this information on 91 radio stations.

Continuing marketing strategies included using celebrities in television commercials, making dog foods that produced their own ‘gravy’, making dog kibble into various shapes, and using dyes in the dog food so it would look ‘natural’ and pleasing to a dog owner’s eyes. Pet food ads were appearing regularly in the media and designs were developed more to attract the owner’s idea of a tasty and visually attractive meal than for the dogs’ health.

Pet food sales moved from the feed stores to the grocery stores, with bright labels and appealing pictures. The marketing strategies were paying off, and soon pet food sales were surpassing the amount of money spent on baby food. Interestingly, at the same time, on the human food front, colorful and sugary cereals for children were also making inroads.

Next time: From then ‘til now.
