ARTworks in Beaufort was contacted by the Arts Education Counselor of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) earlier this year to inform staff that ARTworks, the community arts center that is home to the Arts Council of Beaufort County, had been handselected for a non-competitive “Arts Education in American Communities” grant. Now, the NEA has approved ARTworks’ plan for the “Bridging Cultures & Generations through Music” initiative by supporting it with a $10,000 from the NEA, to be matched by funds from the community. The intended outcome is to expose communities to exemplary artists, and provide knowledge and skills in the arts to Americans of all ages. “We’ve observed that there are racial, cultural and generational audience diversity issues,” commented JW Rone, executive director at ARTworks, “which could be addressed through creative music-based projects. Our bridging initiative is our way of addressing both youth education and audience diversity, of race and age, by enlisting two prominent African-American musicians to perform and teach in Beaufort County in 2012.” Classical violinist Chelsey Green is based in Washington, D.C., and a 2010-2012 Strathmore Artist-inResidence. Her band is The Green Project. The classical musician brings a new appreciation of the violin as it relates to the music of today’s youth, including R&B, pop, soul, funk, Latin, alternative, hip hop, go-go, and Gospel. ARTworks is also in negotiations with blues artist Guy Davis. The goals for the project are: to introduce students and the community

to the musicians and their art forms; to inspire young musicians in our community regardless of race and socioeconomic status; and to encourage audience diversity and assist in bridging cultural and generational divides. While in Beaufort, the Bridging musicians will teach master classes for teachers and perform in the schools, and perform one major public performance each. Ultimately, ARTworks hopes to identify students who are inspired by these genre-exploring experiences and help them continue through the longstanding tradition of jam nights with other musicians in the community. ARTworks is an established arts education leader, and is a Kennedy Center Partner in Education with the Beaufort County School District, hosting Youth Art Month in March every year, and adopting Lady’s Island Elementary School. “We’ve earned a national reputation for quality
arts programming,” stated Rone, “as evidenced by the NEA hand-picking ARTworks for this non-competitive grant focusing on arts awareness and education.” Through its community arts center and partner organizations, ARTworks in 2011 alone has provided the community with: • 23 weeks of afterschool arts programming reaching more than 175 children. • Eight concerts through the Street Music on Paris Avenue series in Port Royal, reaching more than 1,900 people. • Over 45 concert and theater performances in its black box theater. • Workshops for adults, including writing, basketry, and claywork, to 176 people. • Four arts-integration workshops for 65 teachers in Beaufort County.

The Studio Art degree program provides students with a focus in visual arts and in the history of art, within the context of the liberal arts. The program prepares graduates both for professional careers and graduate programs in fine arts. The combination of an intensive liberal arts background with studio arts proficiency skills and practical experience helps students investigate and integrate their knowledge and perspectives in today’s technologically changing world and gives them the background needed for a career in the arts.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
A time for change at The Island News At The Island News, we are dedicated to bringing our readers a variety of the most important and relevant local news and events. In the past year, the paper has made changes that we hope will improve our coverage and focus on life in northern Beaufort County. We are proud to introduce new staff members Pamela Brownstein, Tess Malijenovsky and Nancy Gregory. Pamela has a degree in journalism from Penn State and has worked for many years at local newspapers and magazines. As editor and graphic designer, she is in charge of the content and the overall look of the paper. Although new to the area, Tess brings with her a fresh perspective as well as
a background in writing, editing and photojournalism. She will be the general assignment reporter covering city government, crime and Pamela educational issues. Brownstein And longtime Beaufortonian Nancy Gregory is the woman the businesses go to for all their advertising needs. We also commend all our longtime columnists and contributors for their tireless efforts covering the community, and we welcome the new faces and voices that will soon grace our pages. Of course, where would we be without
the continued support of our devoted readers and all the caring members of the community who send us their photos and stories and Tess share their ideas Malijenovsky and suggestions with us. We rely on your feedback and submissions, so please, keep them coming. We have expanded the actual size of our paper to 32 pages, and have established a new office right downtown, making it easier for you to stop by, chat and find out what we’re all about: bringing our community together.
DMV offers transportation to citizens seeking photo ID cards Governor Nikki Haley and the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced today that DMV will offer citizens transportation to a DMV office to get an identification card. “If you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed, if you have to show a picture ID to get on an airplane, you should show a picture ID when you vote,” said Governor Nikki Haley. “I want to thank Director Shwedo for partnering with us in this effort.” On September 28, DMV will host a “State Identification Card Day” for citizens who are 18 years of age or older and do not have a valid state driver’s license or identification card. DMV will provide free transportation to and from a DMV office so that eligible citizens may apply for a state identification card. To participate, citizens may call 1-855-STATE ID (1-855-782-8343) toll-free to request transportation. DMV will accept requests through September 22. During the initial telephone call, DMV representatives will ask citizens for their name, address, contact information and preferred DMV office. Citizens will not receive an appointment at that time. The DMV representative will explain the requirements to obtain an identification card and attempt to determine if the citizen has the required documents. DMV will call the citizen by September 26 to confirm the request for transportation. After confirming the citizen’s information,
DMV will provide an appointment for transportation. Appointments will be scheduled for a two-hour window of time (i.e. 8-10:00 a.m.) when Valerie the DMV Driver Truesdale License Examiner will arrive to pick up the citizen. To obtain an identification card, citizens must have a birth certificate, Social Security card and proof of residency. If they have had a name change since birth, they must also have legal documentation (i.e. marriage license, divorce decree or adoption records) to support the name change. DMV encourages those who want to participate to call ahead of time to ensure they have all the appropriate documents. “The most important thing citizens need to remember is that we cannot issue any type of credential without the proper documents to back it up. That’s the hurdle most people face when trying to get an identification card,” said DMV Executive Director Kevin Shwedo. “For many people, the real problem is getting a birth certificate.” To apply for a birth certificate, citizens born in South Carolina should start by contacting the Division of Vital Records at the Department of Health and Environmental Control. Citizens not born in South Carolina should contact their birth state for
assistance. On the day of the event, DMV Driver License Examiners will transport most of the citizens to and from a DMV office. Because the agency’s Examiner force will be transporting citizens, DMV will not offer road tests in any offices on that day and could potentially curtail other activities based on service demands. All DMV License Examiners will wear gray uniform shirts with the DMV emblem on the left side and carry a DMV identification badge so that they may be easily recognized. They will check all of the citizen’s identification documents before transporting them to the DMV office. If the citizen does not have the proper paperwork, he or she cannot obtain an identification card that day. Participating citizens must be physically able to walk either on their own power, with a walker or with a cane. DMV employees are not prepared to deal with special needs. To ensure maximum driving time and to maintain schedules, DMV will not transport additional family members or unscheduled persons. “We’re very proud to offer this service to all the citizens of South Carolina and we thank Gov. Haley for giving us the opportunity,” said Executive Director Shwedo. “If we’re able to help even a few citizens get their identification cards, it will be the right thing to do for the citizens of the great state of South Carolina.”

news briefS County offers webcast on rainwater harvesting
Beaufort County has scheduled a free, public webcast on rainwater harvesting as a stormwater management practice. The two-hour episode is scheduled for 12 p.m., Wednesday, September 14 in the conference room of 102 Industrial Boulevard, Beaufort. The building is in the same county office complex as Clemson Extension Service. Daniel Ahern, Beaufort County Stormwater Utility Manager, said rainfall harvesting can help the county meet stormwater requirements while conserving water. “Rainwater harvesting is a multi-tasking Best Management Practice (BMP). It reduces potable water demand, collects and reuses stormwater, can reduce energy use and be an important component of green buildings.” The webcast is produced by the Center on Watershed Protection and will provide the information necessary for using rainwater harvesting as a stormwater BMP. It will also address different storage and reuse configurations and some quantitative methods to account for stormwater benefits. Several case studies will be presented. For more information, see “upcoming events” at http://www.cwp.org.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
lowcountry habitat for humanity restore
helping build dreams By Lanier Laney
LowCountry Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a retail outlet where quality used and surplus building materials, furniture, appliances, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and cabinets are donated by individuals, businesses, contractors, and other organizations who wish to show their support for Habitat. Products are then sold at below retail prices starting every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 10 a.m. Proceeds from ReStore help fund the LowCountry Habitat for Humanity mission of eliminating poverty housing within our community. By donating materials to the ReStore, you not only help assist in the building of a Habitat home but you also reduce the amount of materials sent to the local landfill. The Beaufort ReStore opened in 2004 with a bang on July 4th weekend at “the Shed” in Port Royal and later moved to its own location on the Parris Island Gateway in Burton. Since then it has become known as “the store that builds houses.” Money from the ReStore has helped to build 16 homes to date in our area and has improved the lives of 67 people. Jenny Drake has been the manager since the store’s opening in 2004. Her background in retail helped to prepare her for this position. However, the ever-changing scenery (donations) at the store can be a real juggling act. One of the things that ReStore shoppers love (besides their low prices) is that you never know what you’ll find at the ReStore. Because they do pickups and receive donations on a regular basis, their inventory changes constantly. Today there might be an antique table and chairs, a vintage claw footed tub (for your retro remodel) sitting on the ReStore floor and tomorrow it may be replaced by a stack of tile, wicker porch furniture and a washer-dryer set. ReStore shoppers know that on a fairly regular basis they can find a stock of doors, windows, cabinets, flooring, lighting and plumbing fixtures, appliances, and furniture, but when you see those one-of-a-kind prizes, snap them up quickly — or someone else will. The always friendly ReStore team includes Scott Hall, assistant manager; Barry Schellhase, truck operator/donations collection; and Damon Dunham, truck operator/ donations collection. They also have an eclectic group of wonderful, loyal volunteers. Their united commitment, along with all the generous hearted people who donate items and those who shop there, are doing a stellar job in eliminating poverty housing in our community. The support of the Beaufort community in Habitat’s mission makes it possible for families like April Redd’s to become homeowners. “Being accepted into the program has answered a much-needed prayer,” she said. “There’s nothing like having a place to call your own. I have been praying for a home where I could raise my children without the cares of distribution of drugs and a sense of imprisonment” she said. It is miracles like these that Jenny says she has been extremely fortunate to be a part of for the past seven years. LowCountry Habitat for Humanity is currently fundraising to “raise the
6
roof ” on a Veteran Build, a Woman Build, and a Faith House so that they can move three more deserving families into their own home. ReStore is looking to recruit volunteers to help set up an e-waste program (e-waste includes old computers, printers, parts or screens that need to be recycled or disposed of in a safe way). As you can see, The LowCountry Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a win-win charity. The ReStore Team would like to thank local retailers, contractors, demolition crews and individuals who generously donate new and gently used materials that may otherwise end up in landfills. See you at the ReStore where you can shop, donate or volunteer. How you can donate You can make your tax deductible donations to the ReStore by calling 525-0055 to schedule a pickup and they will send out a truck and movers to your location. Where to Buy The ReStore is located at 612 Parris Island Gateway (Rt 280) in Burton, (a couple of miles south of the 170 intersection) and they are open Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m. -5 p.m. (Hint: Get there at 10 a.m. sharp on Thursdays to see that week’s full selection of donated items). They are also on Facebook, with weekly information on events and updated pictures. Go towww. facebook.com/LowCountryHabitatReStore. You can also receive their e-newsletters — call their office today (522-3500) or send an email to info@lowcountryhabitat.org.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Tests show Coliform Bacteria in Harbor Island Utilities Water Harbor Island Utilities, Inc. recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contamination. We took 2 samples for coliform bacteria during July 2011. Both of those samples showed the presence of coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than (1 sample per month/5 percent of our samples) may do so.
What should I do?
• You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. • People with severely compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly may be at an increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4761.
What does this mean?
This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been informed immediately. Total Coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing. If we had, we would have notified you immediately.
What happened? What is being done? We sampled the drinking water the following day in six (6) locations. The two sites that tested positive were sampled again as were homes upstream and downstream from each of those locations. All of these samples were coliform negative. We collected our routine samples again in August and showed that no bacteria were present. We will be collecting five (5) samples in September to ensure that the positive coliform readings are not indicative of a system-wide problem. Please remember that we purchase our water directly from the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority; we store the water in a closed tank, and then pump it through our distribution system to you. For more information, please contact our office at 843-982-0405 or mail to Harbor Island Utilities, Inc. PO Box 1028 Beaufort, SC 29901-1028. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may have not received this notice directly. This can be done by posting this notice in a public place or by distributing copies by hand or mail.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Riverview Read-a-thon kicks off Riverview Charter School launched its second annual Read-a-thon and dedicated the month of September to reading. Students will track their daily reading — at home and at school — with a school-wide goal to read 450,000 minutes during the month of September. In order to make the Read-a-thon a huge success, we need your help. Riverview students are each seeking sponsors to support them in their reading. Sponsors can pledge money per minute read, or simply make a onetime donation in support of a particular
student. All funds raised through the Read-a-thon are being used to purchase books for Riverview’s classrooms as well as additional guided reading titles for the school’s Reading Room. Riverview is seeking“Mystery Readers” to read to students in their classrooms. Students love to have grandparents, parents, siblings, neighbors, authors, and community leaders visit the classrooms to share their favorite books (or a portion thereof ). If you are willing to read to a classroom, please call or email Marsha Williams (843.379.0123 ext.1,
or mwilliams@riverviewcharterschool. org) so we can schedule a time for your visit. Please, be sure to bring a copy of your favorite book to share. Additionally, a portion of the Reada-thon proceeds will be donated to Room to Read (www.RoomToRead. org), a non-profit organization that partners with communities throughout the developing world to provide books, education and new classrooms for children. Did you know that almost 800 million people in the world cannot read or write? During the Read-a-thon,
Riverview students will spend time discussing this issue and get a better understanding of the importance of literacy throughout the world. During the week of September 19, Riverview will be hosting a Used Book Drive, with all of the books being donated to Better World Books (www. betterworldbooks.com) in support of Room to Read. Additional information about the book drive will be sent out later this month, so please be on the lookout as to when and where to donate your family’s used books.

Nursing students repaint Recovery Center University of South Carolina Beaufort Nursing students and faculty spent their Saturday morning repainting the inside of The Recovery Center, an outpatient day treatment facility in Beaufort. According to Joy Lauerer, USCB nursing instructor, “Whenever we had evaluations based on our nursing students’ experience assisting in the Recovery Center, one comment in particular became common place- the décor needed updating. It was clear this was a project we could undertake as a cohort that would benefit everyone. ”
As a result, the nursing program solicited paint and material donations from Lowes and Home Depot, as well as a flooring donation from Gilman Floors in Bluffton. Properly equipped with what they needed, nursing students and faculty painted the once pink interior, to that of a coastal blue. Nursing student Kathryn Byrd commented, “The center is now much brighter and pleasant.” USCB nursing students are looking forward to various community service projects throughout the 2011-2012 academic year.

USCB Students removed more than 20 broken doors from the premise, unpacked several U-Haul trucks of donated household items, and loaded up goods that were recently purchased. According to student Raechel Blakeney, “Saturday was a great experience because it gave me the opportunity to help people and meet some of the incoming freshmen. I can’t wait for the next Service Saturday.” USCB students plan on working with various organizations, every other Saturday, for the remainder of the school year.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort Women’s Soccer team came together in support of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at USCB, which is devoted to providing quality, not-for-credit, educational opportunities and experiences to the citizens of the Lowcountry. The Lady Sand Sharks shared their community service spirit by re-painting OLLI’s storefront location in the Pineland Station shopping center which provides exposure to USCB’s numerous OLLI and community outreach activities to people who are shopping or dining in the mall. This was a win-win for both the players and OLLI. According to team forward, Chelsie Mummert, “This was a great team building experience and it gave us a chance to reinforce our team goal of being active community members, on and off of the field. OLLI Director, Andrea Sisino, added, “ What a fine group of women student athletes. The money OLLI donated for this project will go towards their pink team jerseys that are being designed to recognize breast cancer and ultimately raise money for a local breast cancer cause.”

Extra days pay off with more learning, data show By Jim Foster
Test scores from low-achieving students who attended additional school days indicate that the extra classroom instruction is yielding stronger academic achievement, according to data presented at tonight’s meeting of the Beaufort County Board of Education. The district’s Extended Learning Time initiative provides 20 instructional days more than the regular 180-day school calendar. The program focuses on students who have not yet met gradelevel standards or course requirements. Enrichment programs in academics and the arts are also provided. District officials told board members tonight that when test scores of academically at-risk elementary and middle school students enrolled in the ELT program were compared with average scores districtwide, achievement
“These results show that additional resources help when applied creatively and with a concentrated focus.” Beaufort County School District Superintendent Valerie Truesdale gaps in reading were reduced in every grade but kindergarten last school year. In math, gaps were reduced in six grades between kindergarten and grade eight. “These results show that additional resources help when applied creatively and with a concentrated focus,” said Superintendent Valerie Truesdale. Originally targeted at students in grades three through eight, ELT was expanded to include students in grades K-2 who needed extra help in reading and math and students in grades 9 and 10 who failed to meet state standards on the state’s high school exit exam and on high school end-of-course tests in English and Algebra 1. At the high school level, district
officials reported tonight that students enrolled in ELT saw significantly better passing rates on end-of-course exams in 2010-11 than in 2009-10, when the program was expanded to include highschoolers. First-time passing rates on high school exit exams were slightly lower. ELT students attend five additional days of classes before the regular school year begins to “jump-start” the year, a week at the end of the first and third quarters to catch up on classwork, and an extra week in June to make up work. Teachers focus on building reading and math skills, study habits and character. In a related initiative, three schools have 200-day calendars for all students
due to high concentrations of students not yet meeting state standards. These “Accelerated Learning Schools” are Whale Branch and St. Helena elementary schools and Whale Branch Middle School. Extended learning programs have been funded with federal stimulus dollars that are nearly spent, officials said, meaning that they will not continue next year unless additional grant funds are obtained. Truesdale said the district would investigate other options — including grants — to continue funding the initiatives. “Our focus now is on making this fourth year as productive as possible,” she said. “At the same time, we’ll be looking at different ways of funding extended learning opportunities for students who need extra support.”
TCL health sciences programs achieve perfect pass rates Perfection. There aren’t too many things in this world that can lay claim to it. But at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, several health sciences programs — radiologic technology, nursing, massage therapy and physical therapist assistant – have achieved a 100 percent pass rate on their licensing exams. “We are so proud of our students who have worked so hard to achieve their goals,” vice president for academic affairs Dr. Gina Mounfield said. “Plus, this is the ultimate recognition of our faculty’s dedication to delivering an exceptional educational experience.” Health sciences division dean Marge Sapp added, “TCL’s health sciences programs, all of which are nationally accredited, are vigorous and demanding but produce extremely qualified and successful graduates. This is exactly why they are so highly sought after by health care employers here and across the country.” The TCL radiologic technology associate degree program recently announced that all 2011 graduates passed the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification examination, making it the seventh consecutive year the program has seen a 100 percent pass rate by students on their first attempt. “We combine both classroom and clinical education to offer the best experience for our students,” said radiologic technology program director John Eichinger. The program’s clinical coordinator Glenn Levicki added, “TCL’s radtech program is also supported by an active, hands-on advisory committee,” he said. “They, as well as the student commitment, are credited with much of the program’s success.” TCL’s associate degree in nursing (ADN) program is also producing perfect pass rates. Of the 25 ADN May
TCL Radiologic Technology class of 2011 graduates gather in TCL’s on-campus lab. Their class achieved a perfect pass rate on their certification exam, making them the seventh consecutive class to hold this honor.
2011 graduates, 19 took the National Council for Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) and passed the examination on their first attempt yielding a pass rate of 100 percent. This is well above the national average of 90 percent and is the third semester in a row that the program has achieved a perfect pass rate. “Our students excel in the learning environment TCL offers,” TCL nursing director Sharon Beasley said. “Students are able to take advantage of the hightech simulation labs right on our campus to one-on-one classroom time to real-world practice at clinical sites throughout the Lowcountry.” Mounfield echoed the importance of the multiple clinical sites and health care partners located across Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. “We owe a big thank you to all the clinical sites in our four-county service area which help to make our health sciences programs so successful,” Mounfield said.
tcl foundation scholarships The Technical College of the Lowcountry Foundation Inc. recently awarded $30,000 in scholarships to assist 44 TCL students with tuition and books for the fall 2011 semester. The TCL Foundation scholarship program is made possible by the donations of individuals and organizations in our community. For more information about the Foundation and scholarship assistance, please call 843.525.8294, email foundation@tcl.edu, or visit www. tcl.edu/foundation. For a complete list of scholarships, go to www. yourislandnews.com. In addition, the massage therapy certificate program, which is the only massage therapy program in South Carolina to be accredited by the Commission on Massage Therapy
Accreditation, has also announced a perfect pass rate for this year’s class. “We are extremely excited about this accomplishment,” said TCL massage therapy director Denise Van Nostran. “This exemplifies our level of dedication to offering excellence in massage therapy education.” May 2011 graduates of the physical therapist assistant (PTA) associate degree program, one of TCL’s newest health sciences programs, have also achieved a perfect pass rate on their licensing exam, the National Physical Therapy Examination. PTA program director Cindy Buchanan is thrilled with this year’s results. “I am so proud of our students and all of our health sciences programs. This achievement means so much to the students, faculty and the college,” she said. TCL also offers a surgical technology diploma program, which announced that its class of 2011 had an 80 percent pass rate on the national certification exam.

The Beaufort Academy football team played well during their first home game of the season on Friday, September 2, despite a final score of WW King 48 and BA, 34. This was also the first game on the newly renovated Merritt Field, a project that took numerous donations and nearly the entire summer. Beaufort Academy had 290 yards of offense by halftime and only trailed 28-22, but the visitors pulled away in the third quarter of the SCISAA 8-man contest. Quarterback Gibson Achurch had a huge night, going 13 for 14 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns. Jack Griffith had seven receptions for 161 yards and a TD. He also had two TDs rushing. Billy Dailey and Ray Aiello added TDs for Beaufort Academy (0-3), which also got a two-point conversion
from Tucker Trask. Griffith led the defense with 12 tackles, and Dailey added 10. Adam Chahin had six stops and a fumble recovery for the Eagles, who host Jefferson Davis on Friday.

Golf is more than a four-letter word By Cherimie Crane
Climbing Mt. Fuji wasn’t really that hard; sky diving in Wyoming wasn’t really all that scary; bungee jumping in Tennessee was more stupid than exhilarating; Zorbing down a mountain in New Zealand was slightly akin to the morning after a night out with my best friend; and eating food that I couldn’t pronounce in Peru, well that was just darn right asking for trouble. My youth (yes I said youth, you can define it your way, I will define it mine) is full of memories, adventures, and moments of great anxiety mixed with highlights of humiliation. My inability to back down from a dare, a challenge or anything in the genre of idiocy has certainly led me down the road that is less traveled for a reason. Facing something I know nothing about, have no business being involved in, or really no natural skill and/or ability to participate is somewhat unpleasant. The phrases “I can’t” or “No, I shouldn’t” don’t roll off my tongue quite as fast as “Heck, yeah” or “Let me try.” If I had the inner strength to admit ignorance, defeat, fear, and those other odd emotions, I do believe I would have less visits to the emergency room and possibly less need for serious therapy. Some consider me adventurous; those who know me consider me lucky to still have all my limbs. Bull riding (both mechanical and breathing), hanggliding, and scuba diving do not cause the slightest twinge of doubt in my cando determination. However, golf scares the @%#^ out of me. (I mean that in the most non obnoxious and mannerly way, Momma.)
I have doubted the inner strength this game requires and unleashed my outer sailor. Golf was NOT the only fourletter word going through my head. Sorry, Momma. Cherimie Crane
My fiancé was born for golf. He has the gentle way, the respectful attitude, the focus, the talent, and the right shoes. I have the attention span of a hungry hummingbird, the focus of a ferret, and just don’t see the point in closed toe anything. And of course, my golf voice is more suited for a football stadium and a mega phone. Opposites attract, they say. I think it is more that opposites fascinate and confuse, but no one asked me. Because my fiancé is the gentleman and kind person that he truly is, the members of Fripp Island so generously organized a tournament in honor of our wedding. The amount of time, effort, and sweet thoughtfulness that went into every detail was both humbling and overwhelming. Couples who have been married for more than 40, even 50 years shared their time and experiences. It was a day I will never forget, for a few reasons. One of those reasons was my new found respect for the game. Golf is basically 18 holes of life lessons. I say this with confidence as I learned all 18 of them in one day. That little ball can be quite the slippery little sucker. Its natural desire is to do exactly that which you do not want it to do. The grace, poise and stamina you see on televised golf tournaments is hogwash. I am
certain they edit out the good stuff. The first lesson I learned was flip flops may hinder one’s ability to both accelerate a golf cart and maintain the appropriate golf stance. Noted. As I watched in amazement at both men and women who actually hit the ball and knew where it went, I realized that maybe I have found my foe. This may actually take a little time to perfect, more than 18 holes no doubt. Asking the question “How hard can it be?” is silverplatter-serving your soul to the Devil of the Driver (the driver is the big club that is supposed to persuade the ball to go far preferably in the right direction). Realizing my limitations, something both rare and uncomfortable for me, I decided maybe my talents were more in the putting arena. Life lesson number two: putting isn’t easy. Being faced with something I couldn’t easily master, or easily muster, caused great discomfort and wrinkles in between my eyes. Neither is desired. Apparently this golf requires a stillness, a concentration and understanding that I can’t sashay my way around. It is quite the phenomenon. Three feet from this hole in the ground and that darn ball mocked me in ways that burned deep into my soul. Now in any other instant in life, I could get anything I wanted to go three feet, this was not the case. I have
doubted the inner strength this game requires and unleashed my outer sailor. Golf was NOT the only four letter word going through my head. Sorry, Momma. The more appropriately dressed golfers were graceful, patient, quiet, and respectful of this game that taunted me. They obviously know much that I do not. My fiancé is in his element. He patiently persuades that hard headed ball to go great distances, avoid hazards, and gently directs it to its quiet little home in the hole. No matter how frustrated, he pushes forward with respect and dignity even when going against the wind. Like a cannonball to the head, I realized how he is able to calm me when gale force winds are no match for my mood. He knows my natural desire is to do exactly that which he does not want me to do. He understands there is more than one approach necessary when handling a woman of the difficulty type. His ability to persuade me away from hazards is simply uncanny. Even willing to walk through the rough to find me, when I don’t agree with his desired direction, he won’t give up. He will always get me home, one way or the other. Thank you Fripp Island golfers for showing me that golf is far more than a four-letter word, far more than chasing a slippery little white ball, far more than a hobby one can swoop in and master, far more than a game. You have taught me that in life some things require more than will and determination. You taught me that keeping my eye on the ball and knowing my goal doesn’t always mean it will go as planned. It is a day I will never forget, and for the rest of my life when someone yells fore, I know to duck!
A few ‘choice’ remarks By Jack Sparacino
Most of us like having choices in life. Where to live, who to hang around with, what to do for a living, where and what to eat, what to wear, who to marry, etc. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that when people’s (and animals’) choices become too restricted, the result is often stress or at least boredom. Imagine having to eat in the same dreary dining hall or restaurant every single day and they always serve the same few items. Or traveling across the country and finding only one motel chain to chose from. Or having no options about your work. Anywhere, anytime. Or being in prison! Not a pleasant thought. But I think we’ve gone overboard in the other direction in this country, at least when it comes to consumer choices. We seem to be half a life preserver short of drowning in choices and THAT can be stressful, too. Not to mention terribly time consuming if one bothers to actually wade through and evaluate all those possibilities. Remember when there were only a half dozen or so brands of breakfast cereal? Wheaties, Shredded Wheat, Cheerios, you know the list. Fairly simple packaging,
Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in refereed journals in psychology and medicine. He is retired and now lives with his wife, Jane and their three dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.
single portion size or regular, take your pick. Today, we confront an entire isle of different cereals. Healthy, sort of healthy, not all that healthy; fruits, no fruits, nuts, no nuts; flakes or buds or clusters, name or store brands — yowee! Or how about shampoos? Again, back in the day, we had just a handful or so of choices — Breck, Prell, Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo, a few others. Dry, normal, or oily hair, large or small bottle and you were finished thinking about it. OK, now try visiting your local drug or big box store. By the time you’ve even glanced at half the selections, you’re lucky if you still have hair and remember why you came into the store in the first place. And on it goes. Soaps, cell phone plans, insurance policies, internet providers, cars and the 6.2 zillion potential options they come with, clothing types and colors and styles. We have to get out a calculator, or find the right issue of Consumer Reports, or call all our friends (OK, maybe use Facebook for the non-
old fogie crowd) to at least avoid making an outright mistake. But we’d also like to select the item with the best value or appeal or functionality or whatever it is we’re really looking for. So, I’m just asking — do we REALLY need 26 brands of toothpaste as noted on Wikipedia? Are 3.2 bazillion (alright, maybe only 1.5 bazillion) types of shampoos and hair care products really necessary? And what about 5,000 types of door handles (this was from an actual TV ad I saw recently)? FIVE THOUSAND!!! Well, marketers tell us that consumers fall into many different groups or market segments, and that all those choices are just meeting the different customer preferences and demands out there. But maybe it’s time for some pushback. Maybe we need fewer choices overall but more really GOOD choices. I know, free markets tend to straighten all that out as poor choices tend to be (eventually) bypassed and fall by the wayside.
In the meantime, I’ve got a friendly challenge for someone under the age of 25 or so. Can we have an app that simply does the following things for us in real time: 1. Picks out only items meeting high quality standards (your standards and criteria, whatever they are). 2. Tells you which items offer lowest total cost (purchase price plus cost of ownership such as maintenance and disposal). 3. Lets you know where the item (and its subcomponents or “gazintas” as we used to call them) was made and where it’s serviced. 4. Lets you know if you can afford it and if not, what to do in the meantime. 5. Takes your order and has it shipped to you. 6. Gets your customer feedback and enters it immediately into a master, very user friendly database. 7. Shines your shoes, irons your shirts and tells you how wonderful you are. Well, maybe we can skip that last one, but is there a Harry (or Harriet) Potter out there who can work some magic for us? And please don’t give me too many choices to pick from!

Just browsing: Eyebrow tips to live by By Takiya Smith
Have you ever truly paid attention to your eyebrows? I mean really taken a long, examining look at these two small, yet important, details of your face. Eyebrows, especially for women, however, as equally influencing for men, can be the most attention-grabbing features of your face. Our eyebrows grow in various shapes and colors, as well as different lengths and thickness. Some sparse, some full, some shapely, and some rebellious and unruly. Yet, no matter your category, the great
news is that there is an easy quick-fix to obtaining gorgeous, natural and celebworthy brows. The primary key to fashioning perfect brows, basically, is Takiya to know them. As a Smith trained lash and brow specialist, I have consulted with countless numbers of clients, having to tell them all to “slowly put the magazine down
Local dentists give back for Dental Access Days Several local dentists traveled to Florence to take part in the South Carolina Dental Association’s third annual Dental Access Days (D.A.D.), held last Friday and Saturday at the Florence Civic Center. Dental cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions were offered free of charge on a first-come first-served basis, and people from all over South Carolina were lining up as early as 7 p.m. Thursday night to be sure they got to see a dentist during the event. Dr. Jeffrey Weaver, co-owner of McKnight & Weaver Dentistry in Port Royal, discussed his hope that the event will be repeated. “It is great
to see so many of our local dental professionals taking time to give back to the community. The need for this type of event is great in the state of South Carolina. Many adults lack dental insurance and are unable to pay for even basic dental needs. I am sure that the overwhelmingly positive response this event received will ensure that it is continued in the future.” During the two-day event, more than 2,000 patients were treated by more than 200 dental professionals and 300 community volunteers. For more information on upcoming D.A.D. events, contact the South Carolina Dental Association.
and cautiously back away from it.” As experienced as I am, your brows are not going to look exactly like Angelina Jolie’s because they are hers and not yours. Just as I explain, regarding Angelina, consider your face and its attributes. Is your face round and full, heart shape or angular? Likewise, do your brows have a natural, high arch, a slight curve to them or, in some cases, absolutely no arch at all? Knowing and following the natural shape and growth pattern of your brows is an absolute foundational must, ladies

BMH Emergency Department Expansion Causes Access Road Closure for 14 months Effective now, the access road that runs behind Beaufort Memorial Hospital, used primarily for service and delivery vehicles, will be closed to all but authorized traffic for the duration of the hospital’s 14-month emergency room expansion project. A gated security guard station will be staffed Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed all other hours. Emergency access after-hours can be obtained by calling 522-5200 for the hospital operator, who will contact a security guard to open the gate. Parking is expected to become more challenging during the construction period and the hospital will be running shuttles during high-traffic operating hours to assist patients and visitors. In addition, the existing ER entrance will be restricted to ambulance traffic. Patients and visitors will need to use the main or south hospital (Birthing Center/ Surgery Center) entrances to access the ER and its waiting area. The $14.5-million renovation will more than double the size of the Level 3 ER, and will help the hospital meet the community’s increasing demand for emergency medical services. Beaufort Memorial’s emergency department visits currently total nearly 40,000 a year. To learn more about the ER expansion, visit www.bmhsc.org.

Fall: Time to turn up the volume I laura’s
t is easy to see why Vogue’s September Issue is the most important fashion magazine of the year. Loaded down with fall fashion, this edition (all 758 pages) weighs in at a whopping 4 lbs., 6 oz., just carrying it around can get you in shape! But besides Vogue, I loved sifting through the fall issues of Elle, W and Bazaar. My husband got so nervous he hid all my credit cards. This was a fairly Herculean effort considering that fall is the most important fashion season of the year and all the magazines are as thick as phone books. The first look that caught my attentions was one I will call the “Romantics” These beautifully tailored pieces offer a mix of delicate fabrics, such as chiffon and lace, which work together to achieve the ultra feminine look. However, this look can get a bit artsy-fartsy when the designer go overboard with some of their creations. I don’t know about you, but I personally find macrame not to be the most flattering of materials, not even on a hanging plant. But lace, when combined with other sheer fabrics, can be both innocent and alluring. The best example of getting the romantic look right would be Vogue’s spread of cover girl Kate Moss’ recent fairytale wedding. At the other end of the spectrum is “high wattage” color blocks. This trend

If you are one of those women who geometric prints overwhelm you because of your fair complexion or delicate features, then the best way to carry off a print might be in a skirt or pair of slacks or an accessory.

Does it matter that our orthopedic program is top-rated? It does to Jim Harbison, a retired Marine who’s not one to take life sitting down. When Jim experienced significant knee pain, he turned to the orthopedic program at Beaufort Memorial. Our surgeons are among the first to use a new generation in computer navigation to “custom fit” knee replacement. The result is a better fit and a faster recovery time — both good reasons our orthopedic program is rated one of the best in the region. - Jim Harbison Beaufort, SC

Lowcountry Chiropractic opens Renters insurance: Why you need it Lowcountry Chiropractic, owned by Dr. Jason Haralambous, has recently made its new home in The Habersham Marketplace and offers chiropractic and allergy treatment services to Habersham residents and the Beaufort community at large. A grand opening ceremony was held Friday, September 2, during the marketplace’s First Fridays event. Attendees received a complimentary posture/spinal evaluation and other prizes. Haralambous is a graduate of Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, and comes to The Habersham Marketplace and Beaufort after nearly 10 years in Bluffton. Haralambous specializes in chiropractic biophysics, a form of structural rehabilitation that focuses on the whole patient.
“I’d say it’s the highest level of chiropractic care,” Dr. Haralambous says. “It’s more complete. I don’t just focus on your bone alignment, but also work to correct joints, ligaments and muscle tone — the whole person.” Haralambous was one of the first 38 doctors nationwide certified in Advanced Allergy Therapeutics and has brought relief to numerous seasonal, yearly and food allergy sufferers. For more information call (843) 644-4500 or visit www.aaeworldwide.com. The Habersham Marketplace is at 13 Market St. in the Habersham Community, off of Joe Frazier Road in Beaufort.

There are two big myths about renters insurance. One is that it’s too expensive and the other is that it’s not needed. Not having renters insurance is a pretty big gamble, considering that without it you face the cost of replacing your personal belongings after an event such as fire or theft. What’s more, you could face the prospect of defending yourself in a lawsuit because of some accident for which you might be held legally responsible, whether it happened where you live or elsewhere. In many cases, for less than a couple hundred dollars a year you can protect your valuables, like your furniture and clothes, from loss by fire, theft, wind and water damage or other covered hazards. But many renters still don’t believe they need such insurance. A survey conducted by Cambridge Reports, Inc. for the Insurance Information Institute found that fewer than three out of every 10 renters purchase renters insurance. Many renters mistakenly believe their landlord’s insurance will cover their own belongings. In fact, it would be extremely rare for a landlord’s policy to extend to tenants’ property. To determine how much insurance coverage you’ll need, take a complete inventory of your personal items. An insurance agent can help with this by estimating the total value of your property. You’ll also need to decide whether to opt for depreciated or limited replacement cost coverage. Depreciated coverage is the cost to repair or replace your belongings minus depreciation. Let’s say you bought a quality sofa with an expected useful life of 10 years. If it’s now five years old and would cost about 1,000 to replace, you could expect to receive about $500 (less deductible) if your sofa was destroyed by fire. You would pay slightly more for limited replacement cost coverage, but you could expect to receive $1,000 for your sofa minus your deductible. You should also keep in mind that insurance coverage for some types of personal property is limited in terms of dollars. Renters insurance also gives you personal legal liability coverage and medical payments to others who are accidentally injured while in your home, apartment or elsewhere if the injuries are caused by your actions. And, if you are forced to live elsewhere because of damage to your residence due to a covered loss, renters insurance covers additional living expenses. Remember, you may not own the building in which you live, but you still need to have insurance to protect your property in the case of fire, theft or other hazards. Talk with your insurance agent for more information.

On a rainy Saturday morning recently, 20 people piled into two vans and set off to explore the historic sites that are part of Naval Hospital Beaufort in Port Royal. Despite the drizzle, the group listened with interest as the informed guides described the significance of three areas: Old Fort Plantation, the Emancipation Oak and Fort Frederick. The Naval Hospital was formerly the John Joiner Smith Plantation, but what remain are the live oaks that once lined the drive up to the plantation house. During the Civil War, the First South Carolina Volunteers, the first federally authorized black unit to fight for the Union, camped at this site, known as Camp Saxton. On January 1, 1863, General Rufus Saxton assembled a large populace on this site for one of the earliest readings of the Emancipation Proclamation under an oak tree. Fort Frederick was built by the English in 1735 along the Beaufort River to protect Beaufort from the Native Americans in the area, and the Spaniards in Florida.
The tabby walls of Fort Frederick date back to 1735.
The free public tours take place the third Saturday of every month at 10 a.m. , so call 843-228-5306 today to reserve a spot for September 17.

‘Shrimp, Collards & Grits’ wine dinner a success
S
altus River Grill recently hosted Pat Branning, author of “Shrimp, Collards & Grits: Recipes, Stories and Art from the Creeks and Gardens of the Lowcountry,” for a special four-course wine dinner on Tuesday, August 30, at 6 p.m. Saltus Executive Chef Brian Waters presented selections from the cookbook while special guest Chef Darin Sehnert of Savannah’s 700 Kitchen Cooking School offered a live demo and a take-away recipe from the book. Branning signed and sold copies of the cookbook and guests were able to meet, greet and participate in a question and answer session with the author. Branning is an author and area food columnist and her new book coincides with the Beaufort Tricentennial year. In addition to almost 200 Lowcountry recipes, the full color coffee table cookbook features 150 fine art paintings by such noted Southern artists as Ray Ellis, Nancy Ricker Rhett, John Carroll Doyle and Joe Bowler, among others. Branning was a featured author at the 2011 Charleston Food and Wine Festival.

A spotlight on fabulous local restaurants; entertaining musings from the Happy Winos
Lunch Bunch goes Greek at
athenian gardens By Pamela Brownstein
As the only place in town to get great Greek food, Athenian Gardens has been creating authentic dishes from the Old World for eight years. Owners Stephen Balabanis and his mother, Maria, serve a busy crowd for lunch and dinner. The restaurant, located on Ribaut Road across from Beaufort Memorial Hospital, was recently renovated with new wood floors, light fixtures and an updated stereo system. The colorful posters and maps of Greece that cover the walls can easily transport you to the shores of the tiny European country where Democracy began. We said that if we could visit, we would tour the beautiful Greek Isles. April, Kim, Elizabeth and I represented a Lunch Bunch of four. With a variety of sandwiches and salads and specials, it can be hard to decide what to order. We all shared the hummus appetizer that came with redroasted pepper hummus, pita bread, cucumber and tomatoes. It’s a healthy, yet flavorful way to start a meal. April tried the Philly steak n’ cheese with peppers and onions and a side of fries. She got the small size, but the sandwich was plenty big and delicious. Elizabeth had an adventurous appetite so she chose the falafel platter with roasted potatoes and a Greek salad. The balls of falafel are made with chic peas,

split pea and spices and are served with hummus. Even with all the choices on the menu, Kim and I ordered the same thing: the gyro platter. I did consider trying something new, but I always get the gyro because it is my favorite. We both got the platter with Greek salad and roasted potatoes. I
had never tried the potatoes, and they were fantastic. We agreed they are a must-have. We also both love Tzatziki sauce; Kim even ordered extra with her meal. For dessert, the choice is simple: baklava. Homemade by Maria with layers of flaky philo pastry leaves layered with

walnuts and honey, this baklava is the best. I like to think it was the favored dessert among the Greek gods. April, who was skeptical of it at first, couldn’t get enough and even declared that baklava might be better than her beloved key lime pie. It’s just one of many reasons to dine at Athenian Gardens.

Merlot: Don’t hate the grape! Unlike cabernet, which sometimes needs years and years in a dark cellar to tame its harsh tannins, merlot always seemed like it was born to party (something else merlot and I had in common!).
By Terry Sweeney
If ever I were to write an apology to a grape; it would have to be Merlot. In the 90’s, I happily drank gallons of the stuff. It was always my “goto” red wine; my plummy, velvety smoothdrinkin’ best friend who always complemented my food at dinner parties and got along with even the pickiest of palates. Unlike cabernet, which sometimes needs years and years in a dark cellar to tame its harsh tannins, merlot always seemed like it was born to party (something else merlot and I had in common!). I took merlot everywhere and was proud to be seen with it on my arm in public. Then in 2004, tragedy struck disguised as comedy. An offbeat little independent movie called “Sideways” hit the big screen and its main character, an unsuccessful writer named Miles (who is also a very opinionated wine curmudgeon) gave merlot the diss-ofdeath. His shallow horny friend, Jack, suggests that he let their dates choose the wine, and a furious Miles throws a now famous hissy fit and declares “... if anyone orders merlot, I’m leaving!” That “little movie” may have grossed $71 million dollars here in the U.S. and

single-handedly turned the Santa Ynez Valley into a wine tour Mecca; but, oh what it did to my drinkin’ buddy, merlot. Ouch. Overnight merlot became, well, dorky. Suddenly I felt like I was in Red Wine High School. I didn’t wanna lose my ‘red cred’ with the cool kids. So like many others, I quickly and quietly dropped merlot from my wine list and refused to return its calls. (“Merlot? Sorry, wrong number!”) It seems I wasn’t alone. According to vintners’ statistics, sales of merlot plummeted dramatically after the movie’s debut. But many wine experts feel that merlot had it coming. Apparently, a tsunami of cheap merlot had flooded the market for years before the movie ever came out. Now that I think back, I do remember picking up a cheezy wine bottle with a busty Marilyn Monroe in a come-hither pose on its

label calling itself ‘Marilyn Merlot’. That easily could have been the bottle that turned the tide against it. The good news is that merlot has made a tremendous comeback. Thanks to wineries like Duckhorn, Rutherford Hill, Gundlach-Bundschu, Markham, Shafer, B.R. Cohn and others who continue to produce quality merlots, there is a beautiful ruby red light at the end of the tunnel. As I promised, I fully intend to make it up to
California merlot starting with this note of apology on behalf of all of us trend-crazed wine-istas:. Dear Merlot, Can you ever forgive me? Ah, but of course you knew I’d come crawling back, didn’t you? You’re so wise. How ‘bout I buy you a nice thick steak? You pick the wine!! Missing you, The Happy Wino P.S. I don’t mean to nudge, but may I suggest a $400 bottle of Chateau Petrus? (97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.) OK, so it’s French, not California merlot, but It’s Nicole Kidman’s house wine and really hot with the stars right now!! (Uh oh, I think that may have come off a tad trend-crazed) Oh well. I’m off to bash some buttery-oaked California chardonnay!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol, or find a furry friend to adopt
If it looks like dog fighting... When I saw the words “bait dog” in the headline I debated whether I should, or even could read the article. But I did. The bad news is that another innocent dog was intentionally disfigured and then thrown to a pack of fighting dogs as a training aid. The good news is that he escaped, was found by a kind dog lover and is now being medically treated and rehabilitated by some extremely good people of the local rescue organizations. They’ve named the dog Malachi. For those readers who live with their heads underground, dog fighting is an insidious organized blood-sport crime that takes place right in our own backyards. Dogs, usually pit bulls, literally bite and rip the flesh off one another while on-lookers cheer and place bets on which dog will win the match. Guns, money, liquor and children are involved, too. Generally, the loser of the match dies from his injuries or is killed because of these injuries, usually shot. The animals that survive never see a vet regardless of the gravity of its injuries. From an animal welfare standpoint, dog fighting is one of the most serious forms of animal abuse not just for the acts of violence that the dogs endure during the fight but because these dogs suffer their entire lives. Fighting dogs are trained with the use of “bait dogs”. Often pets (dogs and cats) are stolen from backyards or otherwise obtained from “free to a good home” ads to be used as live bait in training exercises to improve a fighting dogs’ endurance, strength, or skill. The muzzles of bait dogs are duct-taped

closed to prevent them from fighting back. In Malachi’s case, his teeth were removed rendering him defenseless. These dogs are short-chained in a confined area or, my particular personal horror, suspended by the neck from a tree, dangling until they are torn apart. Yep, they’re alive when this happens. Dogfighting is a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. However, South Carolina maintains its position at the top of the bottom by continuing to be one of the hot beds of dog fighting nationwide. Last week’s article states that Beaufort County animal control officers have not seen evidence of organized dog fights since 2007 though damaged pit bulls routinely show up at the shelter. Difficult to believe. Granted, rule of law is based only on hard evidence. Though I have seen evidence of dog fighting equipment in yards in Dale and Lobeco and reported my suspicions to authorities all the way up to the states Attorney General, it appears that little can be done unless agents walk directly into an active dog fighting match. Apparently, that’s difficult to accomplish. Look around as you drive the back roads around here. You’ll see signs of dog fighting, too — treadmills, catmills (jennys), springpoles (jumppoles),
flirtpoles, chains/weights, and electrical cords dangling from trees used to secure bait animals. Ever wonder why that one house has a pile of dog crates in the yard? Perhaps they are used as transport to dog fighting matches. Evidence of dog fighting is all over the place and it is not a big secret in Beaufort County. Dogs like Malachi are being hurt and killed every day. We all have to become involved if we want this barbaric practice to stop. Animal lovers in this community need to start making some noise, not just right now on behalf of Malachi, but every single week. Set up an email group including the police, the sheriff, your representative, the mayor, the local papers and anyone else you think might be interested and when you come across dog fighting evidence, send a note. Make it easy. Make some noise. It will take just a fraction of your day to help. Note: Malachi was a mess as you might imagine. The veterinary and rehabilitation expenses are enormous. There is a fundraiser 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24 at Montana’s Grizzly Bar in Bluffton. Or, contributions can be sent to Holly Zusack at Three Black Dogs, 33 Ulmer Road, Bluffton, 29910. Mark the envelope “For Malachi.”
PETS OF THE WEEK Carlin is a beautiful handicapped cat looking for a home. He came to the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center broken and in very poor shape. One of his front legs needed to be amputated but he has done so well with his recovery we are not sure it is necessary. He is now a mature senior cat — at least 7 years in age, his wounds are healed, his spirit is restored and he can get around the adoption center no problem. Carlin is a total lap cat and would love a lap for hours of petting and companionship. To meet Carlin, come by the Adoption Center Monday through Saturday 12 to 7 p.m.. For more information call 843-645-1725 or email us at info@palmettoanimalleague.org. Sandy and Danny are two best friends who would love a forever home together. They are completely bonded to each other. Danny is the blonde golden/lab mix (right). He is neutered and weighs 47 lbs. Sandy, the red golden/shepherd mix (left), is spayed and she weighs 37 lbs. Both are up to date on the their shots and heart worm free. Please consider adopting both. If interested please call Kim at Chain Free Beaufort at 843-812-6574. 28
