Pair suspected of meth at Pigeon Point The two subjects at the center of the drug investigation Monday, Sept. 23, at the Pigeon Point boat landing have been charged with what investigators have determined to be a functioning mobile meth lab. Ronald Joseph Rowe, 38, and Kathryn Elizabeth Stephens, 26, both of Augusta, Ga., have each been charged with one count of Manufacturing Methamphetamine and one count of Trafficking Methamphetamine. An officer with the Beaufort Police Department noticed the pair sitting in a white 1992 Geo Metro, which was surrounded by trash in the boat

landing parking lot early this morning. Upon approach, the officer observed materials commonly used in making meth in plain view inside the car. Rowe and Stephens were detained and eventually placed under arrest for

littering while the investigation into their activities proceeded. Members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office drug investigations section responded to secure any potentially hazardous products of a clandestine drug operation. A search warrant was obtained for the vehicle, and a subsequent field analysis of collected substances tested positive for the presence of methamphetamines. Following the removal of all hazardous materials, the boat landing was reopened to all vehicular and boat traffic. The investigation remains ongoing.

The body of the boater who went missing in the Wimbee Creek on the morning of September 11, has been recovered. Carl Mulligan, 54, was last seen boating with a friend on the Wimbee Creek just before Whale Branch that Wednesday. Witnesses reported seeing the boat take a sudden, hard turn ejecting Mulligan from the boat. Multiple agencies have been actively searching the waterways since Mulligan was reported missing. A body matching the Mulligan’s description was recovered just after 12 p.m. Sept. 19, nearly four miles from where he was last seen. Members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, assisted by Beaufort County Mosquito Control aircraft spotted the body, which had washed ashore in the area where the Combahee River meets the St. Helena Sound. The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office has sent the body to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

Armed robbery under investigation

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred outside a home on Delaney Circle on Sept. 17. Deputies met with a 46-year-old male at 9:30 p.m. in reference to a reported armed robbery occurring approximately 30 minutes earlier. The victim advised that he had dropped off a friend at 62 Delaney Circle in Seabrook and was sitting in his vehicle in the driveway of the residence when he was suddenly approached by two

black males. The suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun, demanded the victim empty his pockets. After handing over his wallet, the victim was ordered to lie on the ground outside his vehicle while the suspects fled on foot towards a nearby wooded area. The victim was uninjured during the incident and drove to family member’s home on Young Circle where he notified law enforcement. The Sheriff ’s Office asks anyone with information to contact either Investigator SSgt. J. Fraser at 843-2553416 or the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 843-524-2777.

Shooting, kidnapping being investigated

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the kidnapping and attempted murder of a 42-year old man on St. Helena Island the evening of Monday, Sept. 23. At approximately 5:30 p.m. that night, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the area of Deacon Heyward Road in reference to a reported gunshot victim. Deputies located the victim in the area 12 Deacon Heyward Road, suffering from several gunshot wounds to the feet. The victim advised that he had been at a residence on Harrington Street in Beaufort when a black male, known to him as “Poppy” and a black female showed up and asked the victim to go to St. Helena with them. The victim agreed and got into a white Toyota Camry with the suspects. While driving on Seaside Road on St. Helena, the suspects began assaulting the victim, eventually binding him with duct tape and putting him in the trunk of the car. They then drove to a house on Seaside Road where the suspects took the victim out of the trunk, pistol whipped him and shot him multiple

times in the feet. The suspects then fled the area, leaving the injured victim to wander the area looking for help. A resident at 22 Deacon Heyward Road called 911 when the victim approached the house seeking help. The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital where he remains in undisclosed condition. The victim advised investigators that the attack may have been in retaliation for an altercation that had previously occurred in Atlanta between “Poppy” and the victim’s son. Investigators have since identified “Poppy” as 22-year-old Melesse Orlando Turner of Doraville, Ga. Turner is wanted and should be considered armed and dangerous. Turner may be traveling in a white 1992 Toyota Camry LE bearing Georgia license plate PNG2165. Anyone with information is asked to contact either Investigator SSgt J. Fraser at 843-255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

CSID to provide additional year of credit monitoring Budget and Control Board Director Marcia Adams announced Tuesday, Sept. 24, that after a competitive bid process, CSIdentity Corporation (CSID) has been awarded a contract to provide an additional year of free credit protection for eligible individuals. Individuals whose information was potentially compromised in the Department of Revenue (DOR) security breach will be able to enroll in the credit protection and identity monitoring services provided by CSID on October 24. DOR and CSID will provide more details in the upcoming weeks.

In addition to comprehensive credit bureau monitoring, CSID offers specialized identity monitoring of events such as surveillance of internet and other media for use of personal identifying information. Black market identity monitoring provides internet surveillance to alert individuals if their identity has been stolen, allowing time to remediate before a fraudulent event can occur. If needed, CSID’s Identity Theft Restoration Services will restore the individual’s identity to a precompromised state and is available to all eligible individuals even if they have not

enrolled with CSID. DOR Director Bill Blume stated, “As an agency, the Department of Revenue has taken precautions to ensure the data entrusted to us is processed in a safe and secure environment. We encourage all eligible individuals to continue to protect their personal identifying information by enrolling with CSID. In a world where technology is ever-evolving, CSID offers more than credit protection services by providing the added protection of identity theft monitoring and credit restoration to best protect the citizens of South Carolina.”

Credit and identity theft protection will be available for those eligible including minor dependents, adult dependents, and those with no credit history. Protection for eligible businesses will also be available through CSID. Credit protection services provided by CSID will end on October 31, 2014, unless the state chooses to extend the CSID contract. Individuals who enrolled with Experian are still covered for one year from the date of their enrollment, and can enroll in CSID’s credit protection service while still enrolled with Experian.

Grant, volunteers help repair home in Old Commons A Beaufort home damaged by a falling tree was repaired Saturday with the help of local Lowe’s Heroes volunteers, the City of Beaufort and a $5,000 Keep America Beautiful grant. The Old Commons neighborhood home on West Street is an historic property. Earlier this year, a large tree limb fell on the porch side of the house. The owner has a physical challenge and wasn’t able to make the repairs himself, said Beaufort Planning Director Libby Anderson. “When we look at making historic Beaufort even more beautiful, sometimes

it helps to look at the small pieces to the puzzle, such as this improvement project,” she said. “It’s not an expensive project, and certainly having volunteers helps make it work, but taking care of this property will bring new life to the entire street.” The $5,000 grant was used to remove portions of the damaged and non-historic porch, to stabilize and then paint the main body of the house, to remove the dead tree to prevent more damage, and to beautify the property. The front yard’s chain link fence will be replaced with a living fence, a concrete ramp will be removed and replaced with

proper steps to access the property, and landscaping will be added to enhance not only the property, but the entire streetscape. “The homeowner and his neighbors were willing to pitch in despite the extenuating circumstances of his physical situation, plus we’ve been working on other improvements in the Old Common neighborhood,” Anderson said. Participating in the project are some 30 volunteers from the Lowe’s Heroes program, the Marine Corps Air Station and Historic Beaufort Foundation.

The Lowe’s Heroes volunteer program encourages company employees to team together, adopt a volunteer project with a local non-profit organization such as the City of Beaufort or a public school, and make a difference in their community. “We’d like to thank our local partners including Historic Beaufort Foundation, Sutton Construction Company, Bartlett Tree Experts, J. Weidner Landscape Gardening, and Beaufort Bread Company who are making this project a reality, and the Lowe’s Heroes at our local store,” City Manager Scott Dadson said.

www.genegrace.com “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.

Let it f low, let it f low, let it f low By Martha O’Regan

I have had requests to re-run this article because “it just makes so much sense.” Yet, because it isn’t reinforced, it’s so easy to forget. It’s that time of year again for summer colds with sore throats, sinus or chest congestion, sneezing, and coughing. They come on seemingly out of nowhere, usually without fever and not really bad enough to stay home but enough to bring discomfort and a wonder or frustration about what we are “coming down with.” In our culture, we call it a cold but more often than not it is merely a seasonal cleanse, a natural cleansing process in response to change of seasons — moving from the expansive season of summer to a contractive season of fall. When we truly grasp that everything in all of creation is energy that follows predictable seasonal cycles, we can then begin to support certain changes in our body rather than immediately suppressing them, like we’ve been programmed to do. These expected rhythms come naturally through the foods we eat, the thoughts we think, and the activities we enjoy. As summer turns to fall, with cool mornings and warm afternoons, our bodies are following suit. We begin dressing in layers and enjoying foods that warm us up. The

As soon as we begin to notice our body going through a seasonal cleanse, we can recognize that the symptoms we are feeling are a perfect response to the nature around us. It is actually good (albeit not always pleasant) and a natural occurrence based on basic laws of nature. Learning to begin with being grateful that our body is getting rid of the gunk and supporting the process by drinking plenty of water and herbal teas, allows us to take control of our own health and well being by getting adequate rest, utilizing essential oils, and flushing our sinuses with a neti pot or a simple saline spray. It is most important to prevent the gunk from getting stuck, and becoming an ‘itis,” another word for inflammation. When the “gunk gets stuck” in the sinuses and causes the tissues to become inflamed, it becomes sinusitis. Likewise, “goop getting stuck” in the bronchioles in the lungs becomes bronchitis. Support the body by using contrast therapy (hot/cold) on your sinuses or your chest using ice packs and hot baths or

leaves begin to shrivel up and drop, and animals, following their innate wisdom, finish their preparations for winter. We experience the variation of temperatures in our environments as we move from warm homes or offices to cold cars or spend hours at a football game without enough layers. Because our body follows nature, these variations ultimately force the trillion cells in our body to go from an expanded state into a contractive or state. This squeezing process results in a detoxifying or cleansing process, which is often felt through our mucous membranes as a runny nose, sore throat and watery eyes. Our individual lifestyles and the amount of toxins our body is attempting to rid itself may make some of us feel worse than others as our body cleanses.

showers. One good trick for sinuses is to stand at the kitchen sink with two bowls: one with ice cubes and one with a warm compress, preferably with a few drops of eucalyptus, thyme or lavender essential oils. Alternate holding the warm compress on your face over your sinus areas (above and below the eyebrow just at the bridge of the nose and along the bottom of the cheek bone), breathing deeply (until compress cools) then rubbing the same areas with the ice cubes. Keep the cubes moving, staying in each of the six locations for several seconds. Repeating at least three times finishing up with the ice will bring relief as you help keep the “gunk” moving — let it flow, let it flow, let it flow! Remember that your body is always communicating with you, so as you enjoy the change of seasons, become aware of how your body responds to it. When you take the time to listen and support its natural processes, you can learn to live in your body with much more ease and vitality. Live Well ... Have Fun!

Protecting your child’s vision: The importance of regular eye screenings By Kenneth Farr, M.D.

It is estimated that nearly 25% of school age children have some type of vision problem — yet only about one third of all children have had an eye examination or vision screening prior to entering school. When it comes to ensuring healthy vision for a child, professional vision examinations are critical in diagnosing and treating any eye and/or vision problems. Regular eye exams and routine screenings are important and can help detect some of the most common eye problems in children, which include: • Amblyopia, or “Lazy Eye”: This condition affects two to three out of every 100 children, and occurs when nerve signals between the brain and one eye do not work properly. If left untreated during childhood, it can lead to permanent vision loss or impairment in the affected eye. • Strabismus”: A misalignment of the eyes, this is commonly known as “cross-eyed” — where both eyes do not always aim at the same object. This can be corrected by patching; in addition,

surgery or specially designed glasses can also help. • Nearsightedness (poor distance vision), Fa r s i g h t e d n e s s (poor near-vision) Dr. Kenneth and Astigmatism Farr (an abnormal curve on the front surface of the eye): These are refractive errors that occur when the eye is incorrectly shaped, resulting in blurry vision and usually treated with glasses. The most important step to ensure your child’s eye health is to schedule regular professional eye exams. In addition to being screened by his/her pediatrician, I recommend a complete eye examination prior to starting school. Dr. Kenneth Farr is the Medical Director of Palmetto Eye Specialists, with offices in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort and Ridgeland.

Beaufort Memorial nurse recognized for care It didn’t matter that Dennis Haynes couldn’t walk his daughter down the aisle. Or that instead of a tuxedo, he wore a hospital gown. The dying patient was able to give away his daughter at her wedding thanks to a nurse who arranged a ceremony in Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit last month. Their wedding planner was Ana Eastman, one of the nurses who had been caring for Haynes during his hospitalization. In a matter of hours, she turned his room into a wedding chapel complete with flowers, decorations, cake, photographer, a pastor to officiate and even a wedding singer. “It was absolutely incredible,” said Haynes’ wife, Linda. “I can’t tell you what it meant to us.” For her compassionate gesture, Eastman was presented Tuesday with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go above and beyond the call of duty. Linda Haynes first approached Eastman about having a wedding ceremony at the hospital when her husband’s health began to fail. It was clear he wasn’t going to make it to the wedding they had planned for their daughter in October. “Holly really wanted him to be at her wedding,” Haynes said. “Ana told me

she would take care of it. I thought she was going to get a minister to perform a little ceremony. I never imagined she was going to plan a whole wedding.” Eastman ordered a cake from the hospital’s dietary department, bought decorations, contacted Beaufort Memorial’s chaplain and arranged to have Paul Nurnberg, a local photographer, take pictures.

When Dennis Haynes deteriorated more quickly than expected, the ceremony had to be moved up two days. Eastman came in on her day off and rearranged everything. She cleared out the room and put white sheets on the tables, strung silver wedding bells from the ceiling and scattered paper rose pedals on the floor. Although she had bought wedding plates and napkins, the cake ordered from the dietary department wasn’t ready. Unfazed, she arranged for another ward nurse to run out and buy one at a nearby bakery. At the appointed time, the bride walked into the room to the wedding march playing on an iPad. She stood at the foot of the bed with her fiancé, Brian. Her mother was at her father’s bedside holding his hand. A dozen ICU nurses and staff watched from the doorway. “It was the most beautiful, touching ceremony I’ve ever seen,” recounted

VITAPAKS

Christy Bayne, a hospice nurse recruited to sing at the ceremony. “Everyone was crying.” After the bride and groom exchanged vows, Bayne sang Jason Mraz’s “I Won’t Give Up.” She performed it a cappella, reading the lyrics from her cell phone. Dennis Haynes applauded from his hospital bed. “He was completely aware of everything that was going on,” Linda Haynes said.“At the end of the ceremony, he took off his oxygen mask and shook Brian’s hand. He smiled and told him, ‘Congratulations! She’s your problem now!’” Haynes passed away four days later. Eastman received numerous nominations for the DAISY Award, created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before he died. On Tuesday, hospital administrators and staff surprised the ICU nurse with the award — a hand-carved sculpture called “A Healer’s Touch” — and an engraved vase full of daisies. She received it on her last day of work, as her husband, a Marine, is being transferred to Virginia Beach. “I told her that we will fill her spot, but we’ll never be able to replace her,” said Diane Razo, director of Beaufort Memorial’s Critical Care Unit. “That’s the kind of person she is.”

health & beauty By Takiya Smith

The beauty of it all

Last week on Dataw Island, this week in the grocery store, yesterday at the gas pump and today over the phone, I was asked, “Where have you been?” “Are you still writing?” “I miss reading your columns.” To my surprise, both male and female, young and younger, all have expressed a sincere interest and noted knowledge of the absence of the ever-soopinionated columns by one Takiya L. Smith. In reflecting on this and the beauty of it all, it hit me and hit home, jolting me from my three months too long hiatus. “Where exactly have I been?” was the question I asked of myself, seeming to have allowed undisclosed space and irreplaceable time to filter the likes of silent and distant bonds. Bonds of unspoken commonalities to lie dormant and bonds of innate friendships to halt.

Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques.com

“I’ve been busy” was my reply but busy didn’t and doesn’t seem answer enough when the fact of the matter is that I have made a uncommitted commitment to commit to the uncommitted. School for me ended and began again with Spanish and public speaking classes. The business grew and expanded from one location to three, one employee to four. The book, published and released, has led me to speak for CODA and Beaufort County Schools. The children have engaged in soccer and football and in between it all, I have managed to fathom a social life of sorts. Yet, here again, within,

lies the beauty of it all. My social life has become YOU! From lunch dates to dinners, phone calls to emails, drops in’s at the spa and cards via mail, Facebook, Twitter and text messaging, the ministry of beauty, the passion of raising self-esteem and the awareness of one another has only become more profound and destiny bound. A difference is being made and being made has become the difference. That, my dear friends, has been the beauty of it all. Beauty Q&A is now the fresh, new and informative column for you, by you, through me! Grab a pen, tap some keys and let me know what’s in your heart, on your mind and out your mouth. For questions, comments and information, email me at beautiquelb@yahoo.com or www.Facebook.com/TakiyaLSmith and look for replies via The Island News!

Six things to do after hitting a deer

Grooming l Daycare l Boarding 4. Stay away from the animal. A frightened, wounded deer could use its powerful legs and sharp hooves to harm you. 5. Contact your State Farm® agent. The sooner you report damage or injuries, the sooner your agent can file and process your claim. You can also report a claim online at statefarm.com® by calling 1-800-STATE-FARM or through the Pocket Agent® smartphone app. 6. Don’t assume your vehicle is safe to drive. Double-check that your car is drivable after colliding with a deer. Look for leaking fluid, loose parts, tire damage, broken lights, a hood that won’t latch and other safety hazards. If your vehicle seems unsafe in any way, call for a tow. Before a collision occurs, make sure you’re protected with the right type of insurance: Damages from auto-deer accidents typically are covered under comprehensive insurance, not collision. Contact your State Farm® agent to learn more.

Ask about Total Loss Debt Cancellation.*

It happens. Even if you’re vigilant about avoiding animal collisions, the risk of hitting a deer with your vehicle heightens in the late fall and early winter. State Farm estimates that 1.23 million auto-deer collisions occurred in the U.S. between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. These accidents were costly for drivers, typically causing around $3,300 in damage. So if an auto-deer collision occurs, here’s what to do: 1. Move your vehicle to a safe place. If possible, pull over to the side of the road, and turn on your hazard lights. If you must leave your vehicle, stay off the road and out of the way of any oncoming vehicles. Deer are most active at dusk and dawn — times when you or your vehicle may be less visible to other motorists. 2. Call the police. Alert authorities if the deer is blocking traffic and creating a threat for other drivers. If the collision results in injury or property damage, you may need to fill out an official report. This report also can prove useful when filing your insurance claim. 3. Document the incident. Take photographs of the roadway, your surroundings, damage to your vehicle, and any injuries you or your passengers sustained. (Take plenty of photos: This may help make your claim easier to process.) If witnesses stop, take down their account of what occurred, and ask for their contact information.

Quilt show opens at Penn Center A renowned nationally recognized artist whose medium is quilts had an opening reception of his beautiful works at Penn Center this past weekend. Dr. Edward Bostick was born and raised in Beaufort and went to Robert Smalls. He now resides in New York City, where he moved in 1960 after finishing school here and where he still lives, but he also has family in Lobeco whom he visits when he can. He works for the City University of New York and began quilt making 20 years ago as a way of honoring his Gullah roots and his grandmother and other Southern African American women who made the traditional type of quilts called “string quilts” — made from strips of fabric. Bostick also pioneered a new form of quilt making with his African American Pictorial Quilts that feature famous African American portraits in quilted form. Dr. Bostick — who has achieved great national acclaim for his works which are presented at shows all around the country — told a group of college students from Savannah who attended the opening: “Don’t let your hearts go to waste by letting your talents go to waste. Be the damn best you can be!” Nationally known master quilt artist, Mr. His quilts will be on display at the galleries at Penn Center on St. Helena Island until October 31. Edward M. Bostick.

Artist Sam Doyle honored at ARTworks gallery One of the largest solo shows of world renowned St. Helena Island painter Sam Doyle opened this past Sunday at ARTworks gallery. “We are proud to have the opportunity to showcase the work of such an important American folk artist, made possible by the generous sponsorship of community members and our partnership with Penn Center,” said ARTworks Creative Director JW Rone. Kudos to Claudette Humphrey who conceived of and organized the wonderful show along with the help of her fellow committee members Lisa Rentz, Mary Mack and Penn Center Curator Victoria Smalls. Emory Campbell, Pierre McGowan and Etta Mann spoke at an opening event where all the delicious food was prepared by Claudette. Their often humorous recollections of their experiences with Sam Doyle on St. Helena Island almost all seemed to end on the refrain: “Why didn’t I buy one of his artworks when they were so inexpensive?” Several collectors who were wise enough to do so were in attendance and generously lent works for this exhibit. The show runs through Saturday, Oct. 5, Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. Here are some pics from the opening event:

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

the write stuff

a chat with tim johnston, author and editor of short story america By William Laney Born and raised the son of a private school headmaster, it was logical that Tim Johnston would follow his father’s footsteps and become an educator after his graduation with an English Major from Davidson College and a Masters in Literature and Creative Writing from Antioch University. It was in college that he fell in love with his favorite form of literature — the short story. After more than a decade spent teaching in Pittsburgh, Miami and Atlanta, Tim fell in love with his future wife, Stacey, while teaching World Literature at Atlanta’s Pace Academy. Stacey was fresh out of Emory Medical School and had decided to teach science there for a couple of years before taking her residency. Their marriage resulted in two wonderful twin daughters Brooke and Taylor, age 10, who are now at Coosa Elementary, and a son Nicholas, just 5 months. Dr. Stacey Johnston has enjoyed her job as director of the hospitality program at Beaufort Memorial Hospital for the past four years. Tim was head of school at Beaufort Academy from 2004-2009 and oversaw a major growth period at the school both enrollment and building wise. Says Tim, “It was rewarding to oversee so much healthy growth, and to see more students applying to colleges all over the U.S.”

The Johnston Family, from left, Brooke, baby Nick, Tim, Stacey and Taylor.

Tim left Beaufort Academy to lay groundwork for his longheld dream of founding a short story publishing house. The result: Short Story America is heading towards its fourth anniversary of successful event and publishing growth. Occurring this weekend is the annual festival and conference here in Beaufort (please see the article on page 19 for details). Besides writing short fiction himself, Tim is the editor of the “Short Story America” series, now international with authors from around the U.S. and the world. To date, he has published three large volumes of short stories, totaling 138 stories since inception in early 2010. Says Tim, “We’re also publishing a terrific book of short stories by the great author Richard Hawley, who will be here for the Short Story America Festival this weekend.”

How does Tim accomplish all this and still manage to raise a young family? His wife Stacey says, “Patience and laughter are the core of how he is with our children, from getting them ready for school each morning and taking them to all of their activities to teaching them how to be the best they can be, all the while continuing to move forward with Short Story America.” She adds, “I am amazed that each year he attracts so many great authors and their stories to Short Story America, and that he can pull off a fabulous story festival right here in Beaufort without a whole lot of financial resources, and that he is solely doing this to expand the base of short-story lovers. There so many people in the literary world who only discovered Beaufort because of the festival.” Regarding their choice to

move to Beaufort, Tim admits, “Neither of us had ever lived in a small town (Stacey is from Cincinnati, Ohio, while I was raised in Durham, N.C., and Pittsburgh, Pa.), but we decided that we would move here and try out this kind of living. We’re glad we did. There is a quality of living here that fills up the soul. We’re very happy here.” As for the future, Tim’s first collection of short stories that he has authored is coming out early next year. It’s titled “Between the Dead and the Sleeping” and there will be a launch party in Beaufort in January. His short story “Friday Afternoon” has been optioned for development. Says Tim, “When I became an English teacher at the high school level, I knew that the key to turning students into lifelong readers was to show them how great and important that stories are, that stories have something to do with them and society. Stories that can be read and absorbed in one sitting provide a tremendous opportunity for educators to reach every kid. Great short stories entertain. They matter to the soul of the reader, and offer so many interesting writing and discussion opportunities. That’s why I began writing stories in addition to teaching them in school.” His stories may be short but let’s hope we’ll be hearing from this exceptional talent for a long, long time.

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

When dogs are caught in the middle: Part Two By Tracie Korol

Like our children, our pets are important family members, certainly not property. Yet this is exactly how the court system views them when it comes to divorce. If a dog is financially valuable, this numeric worth is usually taken into consideration, but sadly, the animal’s emotion well being often is not. For instance, a judge may equate the value of your Best Friend with the value of the stove and consider it a fair trade. She gets the stove, he gets but doesn’t necessarily like the dog, it’s final — and the dog’s best interest is ignored. This is why soon-to-be ex-spouses must place the entire scope of their pets’ welfare among their top priorities when negotiating the terms of their divorce. Dogs typically bond to one person in a family. Certainly, you love your dog, but would she be happier with you, or your spouse? You must also ask yourself if you can realistically provide your pet with the level of care she needs in the wake of this transition. If you will be working longer hours, for example, this may not be the case. Additionally, many apartments and condominiums place restrictions on pet ownership. Although it should never be the sole consideration, money is also important. Dogs need healthy

food, engaging toys, daily exercise, regular grooming and routine veterinary care. Especially if you own more than one pet, the costs of these items and services can be substantial. Bear in mind that pet custody does not have to be all or nothing. You can certainly share custody of your beloved pet — or even schedule regular visitation. This kind of arrangement can make the change easier for all involved. If kids are going to split their time between two households, for instance, having their pets by their sides can make this new plan considerably more bearable for them. But if you choose this way to handle custody, keep an eye on the dog. For example, Dog traveled well between households with the children. All was well until a few years later, Ex-husband moved in with his sweetheart and ExWife moved to the other side of town.

Dog found it all to be very confusing and began to go AWOL, appearing at the wife’s new back door. Somehow he found his way and it happened more than once. This was Dog’s way of communicating that he wanted to be with both of his pack members. In the end, Dog stayed more with the wife and went for regularly scheduled walks with the other part of his pack, including both ex-spouses. If multiple animals are owned, it may be in their best interest to keep them together during and after the divorce. This will minimize the number of changes the animals will be forced to experience. However, when a divorce is in high play, how the animals may feel is often lost to custody power play. For instance, I was asked to testify as

authority in the judgment of “who got the boys”. The “boys” were a pair of miniature poodle brothers, doted on by the couple for 12 years. When it came time to split up the assets, Husband insisted on keeping ONE of the dogs. Wife insisted he take both, or she take both because the dogs had never been separated since birth and it would be emotionally crushing to separate them. Because the wife strengthened her fight by providing supporting testimony of an animal expert (me), she was awarded custody of both dogs. But what a lot of needless drama! However, if Big Dog and Little Dog have never gotten along in the past, and squabbling, turfing and snarling is part of the daily routine, it may be a blessing to all to separate them come divorce time. As difficult as it may be, divorce can be a healthy change, but owners must work to make this happen. Witnessing constant arguing isn’t any better for animals than it is for children. Putting your pets’ needs above your own feelings is imperative. Spare them a nasty custody battle, and you have already shown how very much you love them.

Last September, Dancing Dogs Yoga hosted Yoga Aid for Africa Yoga Project in Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The event raised more than $14,000 that day for Africa Yoga Project. Next week, two of the teachers who were helped during that fundraiser are coming to teach yoga in our studios. Walter Mugwe and Catherine Njeri are both certified baptiste yoga teachers. There will be a fundraiser in Beaufort on Thursday, October 3 from 6 to 9 p.m. and Friday, October 4 in Bluffton, 6 to 9 p.m. Walter and Catherine will also be available for private lessons. The goal will be to raise substantial funds to respond to the September 21 attack in Kenya. The Africa Yoga Project will offer psychosocial services for those affected through their free yoga outreach classes. The group will also share an embodied experience of the mission of empowering change and hope through yoga.

Second Short Story America Festival hits town This week, the Second Annual Short Story America Festival and Conference will bring readers, authors and teachers of short stories together again in this new literary tradition in the Lowcountry.

An evening with President Theodore Roosevelt A benefit presentation for the South Carolina Olympia Committee Project to bring the USS Olympia to Port Royal will be held Thursday, October 10, 6:30 p.m. in Beaufort High School Auditorium. Teddy Roosevelt played a major role as Assistant Secretary of the Navy — he was effectively running the Navy when war broke out with Spain in 1898 and promptly resigned to form and lead the Rough Riders volunteer cavalry. A war hero in Cuba, he was elected New York’s governor, then

vice president, becoming president upon William McKinley’s assassination — all by the age of 42. Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most energetic presidents to ever live in the White House and his legacy has had a profound and lasting impact on America’s domestic and international policies. The presentation is by Joe Wiegand, regarded as the nation’s premiere reprisor of Theodore Roosevelt; his fifty-state tour celebrating TR’s sesquicentennial birthday included a performance at the

White House. The USS Olympia — as a modern, steel-hulled, coal-fired battle cruiser with advanced armament — exemplified America’s state-of-the-art, blue-water Navy. The vessel meshed with TR’s vision of America’s role in the world; he employed it effectively to advance his policy of “Big Stick” diplomacy. Port Royal was vital to the ship’s operations, and to its sailors and Marines. “The South Carolina Olympia

Committee’s mission is to bring the USS Olympia, one of America’s most historic ships, to Port Royal, one of America’s most historic towns,” says Pete Richards with the SCOC. Port Royal and Mare Island, CA, are headquarters for the two remaining groups seeking the Olympia. “It has been a long journey,” notes Richards, “But we are hopeful we will be successful in bringing the Olympia to Port Royal and ensuring a bright future for this storied national treasure.”

Lessening the Guilt (I am back if y’all will have me) By Cherimie Crane Weatherford As a woman, I have treasure trove of should haves, could haves, didn’t attends and forgot to achieves of which to feel enormous amounts of guilt. Should a day arrive without its very own new set of guilt stricken occurrences, I simply open the trove and choose. Much like a women without her phone, it is a rarity that any breathing female greets the world, and certainly not the general public, without some form of guilt fashionably formed around already weighted shoulders. Besides the unused hairbrush, the unopened container of must have makeup and the outfit I knew would never fit, I find myself staring at my old lettered friend with insurmountable hesitation. Collecting almost as much dust as those darn unread books, sits my once well visited laptop without the typical, topical tattering of my fingers channeling my thoughts, actions and inquiries of a life less told. Cue the guilt.

Perfectly acceptable justification for having one too many cupcakes, leaving any social event a little too early and crying over basically anything, pregnancy is a shopping mall Cherimie of readily available Crane Weatherford and oh-so-affordable excuses. Somewhat exhilarating, a tad bit habit forming and all in all counterproductive to day to day living, the pregnancy plight offers more than just swollen feet. In between potty breaks, buffet binges, body building (not necessarily the gym kind) and staring at tiny clothes as if they just landed from Mars, I have many a time passed my old lettered friend vowing to visit. Anyone who has read anything I have ever written understands my inability to write about the most serious of common life events. Pontification of seemingly mundane

moments is much more comfortable for me than facing the literary mirror of raw private life. Absolutely not due to the shortage of mind boggling and keyboard tempting events that have occurred both through encounter and through thought as the past few months provided a novel of material. The simple fact that my burgeoning belly has morphed me into more of a public science project than a happy-to-blend-in woman has supplied me with enough odd human interaction to overload Wikipedia indefinitely. My newfound knowledge and respect for public restrooms could forever change programming of GPS. As for the allconsuming awkward conversations, there is no columnist alive who could compete, this I swear. My absence is credited only to the cement of caution and maybe a little can be levied to my newfound narcolepsy that finds me anytime I sit for more than 2.4 minutes. Pregnancy hasn’t paralyzed my fingertips and certainly not my need

to express my opinions on everything from gas station gab to women blessed with bad attitudes and worse shoes. Encroaching swiftly on nine months of human incubating, I waddled over to my once-tattered friend and realized quickly how easily old habits return. Possibly the most comfortable I have been in months happened simply by beginning to write with no particular subject in mind. My little one will be making her debut soon and I shall find an entirely new trove of excuses for not doing, being, saying and fulfilling day to day duties. I assume that is a fair trade for exchanging sleep for diapers; however, thanks to the encouragement from those that have read my silliness over the years, my treasure trove of guilt will weigh slightly less. Maybe I will leave my mane tangled, my garden unplanted and my make-up unmade, but I will continue to share my tainted view of the simplest of oddities that make life worth discussing. I am back y’all.

women of greatness

I am a champion! By Martha Cooper-Hudson

I am a woman who defied the odds, did not give up on my dreams when everyone told me I was crazy. I am a mother of three who became a billionaire with her idea. I was a little girl who loved to dream and dreamed often. I am Sara Blakley the founder of Spanx, Inc. I am a young woman who was born in Mississippi, raised by her grandmother and father, later abused by family members, graduated from Tennessee State University, had the most successful talk show for 25 years, became a selfmade billionaire, opened a school to educate girls in South Africa, and OWNS everything with my name on it. I am Oprah Winfrey. I am a young lady who was raised on a rural island with my parents and siblings, who graduated from high school, who was rejected from American Idol twice but never gave up on my dream of becoming a singer. My album hits stores in October. I am Candice Glover, American Idol winner. These three Women of Greatness who decided to become champions had three things in common: confidence, competitiveness, and composure to reach that level of a champion or a winner. If they can do it then so can you. Whether you believe you can do it

Martha CooperHudson

So ask yourself when the moment comes for you to elevate to the next level or to climb your next step: will you have the confidence, competitiveness and the composure to get to that champion level? I challenge you to find the champion inside of you this week.

or not, you are right. In order to become a champion or a winner you must be committed, driven, dedicated, and disciplined to do it over and over again. Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” Mental strength is a huge factor in succeeding in any area. Having the mentality that no obstacle is too big, no challenge is insurmountable, no pain is too painful to push until something happens is the mind-set that we all must have to be victorious in every area of our life. The vision I have of a champion is one who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking. Having the faith in the things hoped for but the evidence of things not seen in the natural, while eliminating any doubt or disbelief in your dream, and your ability to become

a champion or a winner is priceless. In my life I have had the privilege to be in the company of some true champions and women who win no matter what. Sometimes as women, because of certain circumstances that have taken place in our lives, we think that we cannot win or move forward. Because of my divorce, the medical diagnosis I received, or the abuse I suffered at the hands of loved ones or at times people we did not know, we have given them the power to have control over our future because we are paralyzed in that situation. When you stop looking back at what was and start looking forward to what will be, then the champion will appear. The only way your past can ever continue to affect your future is if you continue to moonwalk backwards, or you continue to pay attention to the bug that hit your windshield.

When you start to believe in yourself even when no one else believed in you, start speaking the right words, saying what you want and going after what you want, you will become that champion. A champion is someone who gets up when others do not. A champion is afraid of losing when everyone else is afraid of winning. But a true champion will fight through anything and truly understands that failure is not an option. So ask yourself when your moment comes for you to elevate to the next level or to climb your next step, will you have the confidence, competitiveness and the composure to get to that champion level? I challenge each of you to find the champion in you this week: Aspire to inspire other Women of Greatness before you expire. Join other Women of Greatness who became champions at Beaufort’s first Classy & Sassy Tasty Tuesday Women Night out with a Purpose, October 15, 2013 at the Holiday Inn & Suites from 5:30 to 9 p.m. To purchase tickets, please go to http://tastytuesdayefbevent.eventbrite.com. Ladies let me hear from you! If you or someone you know has a story on how you defied the odds by becoming a Woman of Greatness, or a Woman who Wins, email me at womenofgreatness@gmail.com.

Fall-ing in love all over again By Pamela Brownstein

I’m pretty sure I announce my love of fall every year at this time, so this year is no different. Or is it? The things I love about this season haven’t changed: cool mornings, college football, pumpkin-flavored everything. But between my husband, Daniel, and I, our roles and responsibilities have changed and we

enter autumn as the parent of two young kids, both working and Daniel completing graduate classes toward his MBA. Basically, we’re totally busy and crazy. This time of year is also our anniversary and it’s a reminder of the day we tied the knot in Beaufort four years ago. So much has changed for us since then, it’s comforting to look back and remember the fun of

the island news | september 26 - october 2, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

having all our family and friends together as we said our vows. It was the best decision I ever made to marry Daniel and I can’t imagine my life without him. I’m so grateful for his love and patience, and watching him as an amazing dad only makes me love him more. I feel fortunate to celebrate with my favorite person during my favorite time of the year.

Tucked into the corner storefront of an unassuming strip mall, Big Joe’s Bar-B-Q continues to serve up classic meats and sides to hungry locals. Chef and owner Yuni stays true to Southern staples she knows her clients crave, but also branches out and gets creative with the introduction of new items to the menu. Last week, as the Lunch Bunch sampled a variety of these new dishes, the restaurant stayed busy with full tables as well as a steady stream of customers picking up and ordering meals for take out.

wine

From the four lands united By Celia Strong

Time to take another trip. As we do every week, we get our tickets, pack our bags and wander through a bunch of information to end up at a new wine. There are probably some things in life that are better, but a new wine every week has got go be close to the top of the list. Even if every week it’s not a new favorite, as long as we keep doing it, our list of favorites keeps growing. Seems like a good idea to keep doing just what we’re doing. That being said, pack for a long trip this week. We are going waaaaaay south, to the other side of the equator. Down there, they are six months ahead of our schedule in the northern hemisphere. Grape harvest is in the spring. After their long hot winter, when they have their summer weather. Wait, I have that confused. They have summer weather over the fall and winter months. No, no. Wait. I had it right. Oh, shoot. Let’s just move on. Phew! So, now we are looking at Argentina. Their wine industry is the fifth largest in the world. (And they are the eighth largest wine drinking country.) Until the early 1990’s, Argentina produced more wine than any country outside of Europe. Unfortunately, most of it, like over 90 percent of it, was considered to be such poor quality that it was not worth exporting. That’s because most producers were more slanted toward making massive amounts of wine, regardless of its quality. At the end of the 20th century, as wine consumption exploded around the world, they started to see quality wines as a good thing. And, in 2002, when the Argentine peso was devalued, operating costs decreased significantly and tourism in the country increased. Currently, Argentina is the largest wine exporter in South America. Grape growing was introduced to Argentina by the Spanish as they colonized the Americas. The first vineyard established in 1556, by Father Juan Cedrón, with vine cuttings from Chile. It’s probable that these vines were ancestors of the País grapes of Chile and the Mission grapes of California.

There were some hurdles that had to be overcome, though, in order for the wines from Argentina to become what they are today. Irrigation systems had to be developed. Despite all the melting snow in the Andes Mountains, if it wasn’t guided to where it was needed, no crops could be successful. Also, most of the good grape growing areas are inland. That meant transportation, affordable transportation, had to be developed too. The completion of an Argentine railway in 1885 was a huge help. And, in the nineteenth century, the arrival of European immigrants, people familiar with grape growing and winemaking as well as wine drinking, brought wine knowledge and expertise to the new industry. In 2003, there were more than 360,000 acres of vineyards in Argentina. There are wine regions, now, in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba and La Pampa. But the majority of them are located inland, in the foothills of the Andes. (A long trip even by train.) Mendoza is the largest region and produces more than two-thirds of the yearly production. Other regions in the foothills include San Juan, La Rioja, Catamarca, Jujuy and Salta, where some of the highest vineyards in the world are. To the south, there are some vineyards in Patagonia, the Río Negro and Neuquén provinces. Presumably, we all know that Malbec is the grape variety that Argentina is most known for. But there are others. Ours this week is Chardonnay. Chardonnay, like other European varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Bonarda, Sauvignon Blanc) was introduced into the vineyards here because of popular demand for these wines. Chardonnay is currently the most widely planted white grape in Argentina. Generally, in the soils and climates of

this country, Chardonnay can ripen fully and it is used to make a wide range of wines — sparkling, full-bodied barrel fermented wines and lighter, drier, more elegant unoaked wines. The University of California, Davis, developed a special clone of Chardonnay, known as the “Mendoza clone,” for Argentina. This clone thrives at higher altitudes, and has been planted in Argentine vineyards at four thousand feet above sea level. Just so we know, according to Argentine wine laws, a grape name on a wine label requires that the wine is at least 80 percent that variety. Our Chardonnay comes from Ernesto Catena, the eldest son of Nicholás Catena who owns and runs Catena Zapata. Ernesto is a fourth generation winemaker and, like many who have been lucky enough to grow up in winemaking families, has traveled and studied — many places and many things. (A Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Economy, a Masters degree in Design from Milan, a History degree from London, you get the idea.) In his spare time, he reads, paints, collects art, rides horses, plays polo and is an archer. Truthfully, any of us would need a good bottle of wine after one of his days. Ernesto founded his winery, Ernesta Catena Vineyards, in 2002. And he makes wines under several different labels. Catena Padrillos, a Malbec and a Torrontes, is named for his love of horses. “Padrillos” means “stallions.” These wines

“You notice it the minute you walk in our lobby. You hear folks being called by their first name.”

are meant to “show the wild spirit” of Argentina’s two true grape varieties. His other label is “Tahuan” and “Siesta en El Tahuan.” (This is pronounced “tahwan.”) This name comes from the Incas. The Incas conquered most of the Indian tribes of the Andes with commerce and religion, not war. They built roads that inter-connected all the different tribes and allowed their cultures to blend together. While traveling on one of these roads, Ernesto dreamed of honoring this history, the culture of the Tahuantinsuyu. An Indian phrase that means “The Four Lands United.” Tahuan wines are all 100 percent of the variety named on their labels. The Siesta wines, a Cabernet and a Malbec, are their “reserve” level and come from some of the one hundred seventyeight of vineyards that Ernesto owns in Mendoza. The “Tahuan” label brings us a Malbec, a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Bonarda, and yes, our Chardonnay. These Chardonnay grapes are grown at just over 3,600 feet and, for this vintage, were harvested the first week in March. There’s that six months off our calendar confusion thing again. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures, between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Half of the wine is aged in oak barrels for eight months, half French and half American oak. In our glass, this wine is a light straw shade of yellow. The aromas start with a hint of lemon, then become fruit salad — lemons, oranges, peaches — all with a hint of mint. The flavors are full of stone fruits — peaches, nectarines — and baking spices ( cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla - all from the barrels). The best part of the Chardonnay, though, is the textures. Like his other wines, Ernesto’s Chardonnay has a softer style, crisp but not biting, smooth on your tongue, flowing in your mouth. A wine made to be rolled around. In your mouth, I mean, not you rolled around in the wine. A wine made to enjoy on its own as well as with food. So sip it, savor it. Remember it whenever your mood or menu calls for a Chardonnay. It never, never isn’t just right. Enjoy!

You notice it the minute you walk in our lobby. You hear folks being called by their first name. It’s a relaxed, but at the same time professional atmosphere. Professional financial service with a hometown personal touch.

Joel S. Newman, Jr.

Joel Sylvester Newman, Jr., of Huntsville, Ala., passed away peacefully on September 8, 2013 at his home.

Joel was born in Duxbury, MA on December 28, 1923. He is the son of the late Joel S. Newman, Sr. and the late Mildred Wadsworth. Joel withdrew from college and volunteered for service in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1944. He was trained as a bombardier-navigator. Joel deployed with the 5th Army Air force’s “Air Apaches” and completed numerous bombing and strafing missions in the Philippines and surrounding South Pacific islands. Joel described the plane he was assigned to as, “the best aircraft of the era,” a Mitchell B-25 Bomber. Joel returned from the service in 1945 and restarted college where he left off. He graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in chemical engineering. It was there he met and married Eleanor Brown, his wife of over fifty years, until her death in 2009. Joel had a long career in the aerospace industry. He was an engineer for the Hercules Corporation, Aero-Jet General Corporation and finally the Missile and Space Division of the Lockheed Martin Corporation. Joel worked from the very start of the Polaris ICBM program all through the Poseidon ICBM program and retired during the Trident ICBM program. In the initial years of the Polaris program, Joel was assigned to Cape Canaveral where the U.S. was developing the technology to shoot ballistic missiles from submarines. Joel was later stationed in Charleston at the Naval Weapons Station assigned to the Polaris Missile Facility Atlantic Division and retired with over 30 years of service. Although he worked building ballistic missiles during the cold war, Joel was proud of the fact that none of the hundreds of missiles he and his coworkers built were ever fired in anger. Joel enjoyed his bowling league and kept a 200 or better average for many years. He was a self-taught gun smith, built many black powder rifles, and taught his sons how to load and shoot his rifles, spending many Saturdays with his boys shooting at the rifle range. Joel was an excellent chess player, a member of MENSA, loved the opera and classical music. Joel, a Boston native loved his Red Sox. In 2004 he joked that he could finally die after waiting 81 years for the Red Sox to finally win a World Series in his lifetime. Joel is survived by his sons, Joel Wadsworth Newman of Lemark, TX and Jared Sullivan Newman (Cindy) of

honor loved ones OBITUARIES will be printed free of charge. Please email the information to Beaufortobits@gmail.com and include the name of the deceased, age, residence at time of death, date of death, name of funeral home and where to send flowers or donations. Limit to 50 words or less. Please note: Do not send attachments. DEATH NOTICES are paid items and are billed at 50 cents per word. Photos may be included for an additional $20.

Beaufort, SC, and four grandchildren: Dustin M. Mitchell of Jacksonville, FL; Jared Sullivan Newman, Jr. of Gijon, Spain; Mary Regan Newman of Arlington, Va.; and Taylor Wadsworth Newman of New Orleans, LA. Because Joel never met a dog he did not like and was a self-described “sucker” for every dog in the neighborhood, the family asks that a small memorial may be made to the Palmetto Animal League (palmettoanimalleague.org) or any other no kill shelter.

the island news | september 26 - october 2, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

New York University. Fred had a successful 42-year career, primarily covering all aspects of the copper telephone cable manufacturing business, both domestically and internationally, initially with Anaconda, then with Essex and United Technologies. Fred achieved the title President of the Telecommunications Products Division. Fred had a lifelong hobby of collecting model trains. He shared this hobby with his son, making a layout under the Christmas tree each year. In the mid 70’s, Fred obtained his private pilot’s license. He and Dorothy spent many hours flying to airports in Illinois and visiting family on the east coast, continuing to fly after moving to South Carolina. After retirement in 1993, Fred found a second “career” in boating, gaining knowledge and experience in the Beaufort, SC area in part with his wife Dorothy on their boat, Sea Dancer. He became an instructor and mentor helping teach the Beaufort Sail and Power Squadron boating classes. Fred was chair of a local team working in the Coop Charting Program for NOAA and pushed to correct local charts, earning the LeVange Cup for excellence in charting more than once. Fred was a seamanship instructor and was a recognized expert and source of guidance for navigating the waterways. He served as Commodore of the Dataw Island Yacht Club in 1999. In addition to his wife Dorothy Nowatzky Zinser of Dataw Island, SC, Fred is survived by one son, Frederick M. Zinser, III (and wife Becky) of Denton, MD; one daughter, Carol Zinser of Denton, MD (and special friend Russell Williams); one brother, Richard Zinser (and wife Lee); four grandchildren: Colleen Berkey, Claire Watts (husband James), Brian Zinser (wife Amanda), and Abbey Wroten; one great-grandchild, Aidan Bouldin, one niece Allison Powers (husband Paul), and nephew Robert Zinser (wife Emily).

TINGLING? NUMBNESS? LEG PAIN? FOOT PAIN? NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!

That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.
