Donors help AMIkids Beaufort renovate Thanks to generous donations by three Beaufort-area businesses and a local donor, AMIkids Beaufort has a renovated laundry facility with commercial-grade equipment.

Pro-Slab’s Trey Ambrose; T&D Commercial Builders, with Scott Dennis and David Tilton; and Grayco’s Richard Gray, Sr., all stepped up to make the renovation possible.

Their donation of time, labor and materials helped save more than $15,000 on the project, said AMIkids Board of Trustees Chairman Jimmy Boozer.

The laundry renovation was a top priority for the residential treatment and education center’s board, said Boozer.

“This has been something we have needed for a long time, but until these people stepped up to help, it was going to stay on our wish list,” Boozer said. “Now, the young men at our campus have a clean and safe place to do their laundry.”

Beaufort Memorial now provides single-incision hysterectomies Beaufort Memorial Hospital has expanded its use of robot-assisted surgery to offer a single-incision hysterectomy procedure, the first in the region to provide this minimally invasive option.

Beaufort Memorial board-certified surgeons Dr. Pat Thompson, of Beaufort Gynecology Associates, and Drs. Greg Miller and Chris Benson of Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialists are among a small group of surgeons in the nation trained to perform this advanced procedure, and the first surgeons to offer it to women in the Lowcountry region.

Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is the second most common surgical procedure for women in the United States. An estimated one-third of all women will have a hysterectomy by age 60, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Compared to a traditional hysterectomy, a robot-assisted procedure is minimally invasive and helps women return to their normal activities more quickly. The surgery is performed in less than two hours and many patients have the option to return home the same day and nearly all go home within 24 hours. The da Vinci robot also allows for a single incision hidden within the belly button, compared to traditional laparoscopic surgeries which require three to five small, visible incisions.

“The cosmetic ramifications of a hysterectomy, whether elective or not, can weigh heavily on women,” Dr. Thompson said. “This single-incision robot-assisted procedure now

gives women a surgical option that leaves virtually no scar.”

About robot-assisted surgery at Beaufort Memorial Hospital Beaufort Memorial surgeons have been performing robot-assisted surgeries locally since 2009. Robot-assisted surgery, like other minimally-invasive or laparoscopic surgeries, utilizes cameras and instruments that are inserted through small incisions in a patient’s body. The advantage is that the surgeon utilizes the hand controls of a state-ofthe-art console to control the robotic arms during a procedure. Through the console’s viewfinder, the surgeon sees high definition, 3D images. The quality of the images and the precision of the surgical arms enable the surgeon to provide optimal care to their patients.

In addition to gynecologic surgery, Beaufort Memorial’s use of the da Vinci Robot includes urologic surgery and general surgery. For more information about physicians performing robotassisted surgery at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, call 843-522-5585.

AMIkids “It’s something we might take for granted, but these young men are up working from sunrise to past sunset, often in the heat, and they go through a lot of laundry!” Boozer added.

AMIkids Beaufort’s campus in Dale provides not only education but numerous hands-on educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification for young men convicted of non-violent offenses in South Carolina.

AMIkids also partners with eight community service projects throughout Beaufort County. Students at the facility work toward their high school equivalency diplomas and also can earn job training certificates in welding. The nationally based organization’s motto is “Separating a troubled past from a bright future.”

Additionally, a generous donor from Brays Island contributed money for the trustees to buy commercial grade washers and dryers for the renovated laundry room. The new equipment will last longer, wash and dry more clothes, and be more efficient to operate than the previous residentialgrade washers and dryers.

“We stay connected to the community,” Scott Dennis said.

“AMIkids Beaufort does an exceptional job helping young men turn around their lives, and we are happy to have

helped with this project.”

Ambrose agreed: “The Lowcountry is different than other places, around here people help people. When I found out AMIkids Beaufort needed help with concrete for the renovation, you didn’t have to ask twice. Pro-Slab was glad to help.”

AMIkids Beaufort serves young men from across the lower portion of South Carolina, including youth from Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley counties.

The S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice offers the AMIkids option to certain offenders as an alternative to prison.

Do you have plenty to smile about?

By Dr. Jennifer Wallace

Have you always wanted a brighter smile?

Well you aren’t in the minority. It’s one of the most popular concerns among patients I talk with these day. Many ask, “Dr. Wallace, how can I get my teeth whiter?”

A recent survey I read had these staggering statistics: Fifty percent of people consider the smile the first facial feature they notice and yet 80 percent are not happy with their smile.

Your smile — simple, straightforward, and most important, sincere — can attract more than admiring looks. A smiling face tells people that you’re an outgoing and intelligent person worth getting to know.

How white should your teeth become?

Well that depends on a few factors. Bleachers should aim for a color that matches the whites of their eyes. If you bleach your teeth a whiter color than the whites of your eyes, this color will cause your teeth to become your focal point (the place people’s eyes go to first and keep being drawn back to). If the color of your teeth is a brighter white than the whites of your eyes, this will not only cause your teeth to look fake, but it may make your skin look dull or washed out next to the very bright white of your teeth.

Well, there’s no reason for those closedlipped smiles in holiday, vacation or Facebook

pictures anymore, due to being self-conscious of dingy teeth, because there’s an app for that! Well, not actually an app, but there are options. Some people want an instant and dramatic change, while others prefer more gradual whitening such as the type that results from a whitening toothpaste or gel.

Surface stains and internal discoloration can be caused with age of course, but as a dental professional we take into consideration habits such as tobacco use, drinking coffee, tea, colas or red wine, and eating pigmented foods such as cherries and blueberries. The accumulation of plaque and tartar deposits, prior trauma or even exposures with the antibiotic tetracycline during childhood tooth development, can also affect the overall color of a tooth to appear gray or brown.

There are many reasons for whitening your teeth, including: • The boost to your confidence and selfesteem that comes from a great smile • A younger appearance • A special event such as a wedding, job interview or class reunion • To make a positive first impression on others • To simply reverse years of everyday staining and yellowing.

Whitening is safe as long as people

follow the directions and use a product that carries a seal of approval from the American Dental Association. While whitening can occasionally change tooth color nine or more shades, the majority of people who whiten their teeth see a change of between two and seven shades. Each procedure has its advantages and disadvantages. Laser whitening and other in-office bleaching procedures, for example, may produce the most dramatic results, but obviously cost more. Final results depend on your natural tooth color, any prior dental work you have, how stubborn any stains are and the treatment you choose. Keep in mind that a change of just two or three shades can make a noticeable difference in most smiles.

Whitening products work mainly in one of two ways. The first is a “non-bleaching” approach to abrasively help remove surface stains. Drug store whitening toothpastes have polishing agents that provide additional stain removal that regular mild abrasion toothpastes do not. A professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist also uses abrasion and polishing to remove most external staining caused by food/tobacco and is always recommended before starting any whitening procedures. The second approach to whiter teeth would be those bleaching

procedures offered by your dentist to actually change your natural tooth color, usually anywhere from five to seven shades brighter.

In-office whitening procedures like Zoom rely on hydrogen peroxide in concentrations of 25% that is applied by a dental professional in a careful, controlled ‘all at once’ application.

At-home tray whitening bleaches contain an active ingredient called carbamide peroxide.

Both hydrogen and carbamide peroxide professional bleaching techniques help to remove both deep and surface stains.

However, after several months or a year of eating and drinking normally (coffee, tea, soft drinks, wines, berries, and red sauces), your teeth can become slightly discolored again and develop new stains. It’s a good idea to plan a maintenance whitening regimen with your dentist to protect your new smile.

Everyone responds differently to different whitening procedures. Some people respond well to whitening toothpastes, while people with gray teeth or other serious discoloration may require porcelain veneers or bonding to achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted.

Only your dentist or hygienist can determine what’s right for you.

Dr. Wallace practices at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort and can be contacted at 843-5247645 or www.palmettosmilesofbeaufort.com.

musings from the therapist’s chair

Metaphors are powerful containers of meaning. Let’s say you are talking to someone about yourself and they say, “It is like you have been swimming on the surface of your life and now you are going deeper to see what treasures you can discover.” This simple metaphor gives definition to your process and builds courage to swim even deeper. Benton Lutz is a psychotherapist in private practice in Beaufort.

If I knew then what I know now ...

By Martha O’Regan

Do you ever wish you could have a “do over” of experiences in your past? As it turns out, you can — it is called imagination. The brain records everything in present time and doesn’t know the difference between what we perceive and what is imagined — they both create neural pathways that affect our health, behaviors, relationships and even our surroundings.

We can go back to any experience recorded from our past, even decades ago, that at the time we judged as “bad” or “wrong” and imagine or re-create it with a perspective of “good” or a lesson learned and it will actually create a new network in the brain, completely altering our physiology in that milli-blip of time.

Awakenings

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

We don’t change the facts, only the energy in which it is stored. Remember when we used to transfer files on our computer and the little file would dance across the screen?

Well, think about moving the story from one file to the next: from the fear file to the gratitude file just by choosing to. The trick is keeping it in the positive file. Every

the island news | july 24-30, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

time we pull it out and express it from the victim perspective, we dump it right back in affecting our life all over again.

At the risk of being repetitive, remember Martha O’Regan that everything in all of creation is energy including every thought, feeling, word and deed. Simply put, positive energy is expansive and alive with frequency while negative energy is contractive and sluggish in frequency. Every experience is neutral until you decide which charge to attach to it — positive or negative — and that perception immediately translates into your physical body as either one of survival (contractive) or ease (expansive). As an example, 20 people can witness the same car accident: Five of them put the event in their fear file as it could’ve been them; five will walk away in gratitude that it wasn’t them; five will walk away worried about the victims; and five will just be ticked off that they are late for work. Same experience, different perspectives, with each one being correct for each person.

Every experience we have ever had — including everything we have ever seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled — gets filed in our mental hard drive (aka the brain) based on the perspective that we deemed appropriate in the moment, even the ones that belonged to the “big people” who were in our lives during our early years. These files set up a neural pathway or network that is instantly retrieved for future use, whether it be for learning, becoming proficient in

a hobby or sport, determining the best course of action in a project, or just basic survival. These pathways also have an energy attached that will emit into our physical body or surroundings. Those experiences that we perceived as negative, with either great intensity or long duration, can set up a message into the body that over time can become a symptom, habit or behavior that we wish we didn’t have. So, an experience that created immense fear for a short time can get us just as stuck in the mental hard drive as long-term worry. Both can set up a mental loop that can lead to such things as tight muscles, high blood pressure, selfsabotage or procrastination.

Think about an experience that you wish had never happened and tune into how it feels in the body. Notice how fast you were able to retrieve that stored memory?

Think about the gazillion stored memories that we judged as negative in our lifetime that are controlling our physiology 24/7.

Eewwwhhh — not interested in that.

So, knowing what we know now about the brain, we can go back to an experience and, without changing the facts, see the lesson or look at it again through the lens of forgiveness, gratitude, love, peace or joy, creating a brand new neural pathway in the brain, allowing for more appropriate physiology. Aahh, that feels better already.

Moles, voles and other stuff that bugs you

By Susan Stone

I was sitting on my porch this morning, when I noticed the stones in my dry bed creek moving. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but no, it was a mole trying to navigate under the rocks.

You don’t have to travel far to see how active the moles are this season. In fact most of you won’t have to leave your front yard.

Moles are really harmless and even beneficial, for the most part. They aerate your soil, which helps plants grow.

Contrary to rumor, they do not eat the roots of your plants — that would be the voles. They are in constant search for food, as they eat approximately 4060 percent of their body weight in grubs and earthworms each day.

But if you would like to chase moles

out of the lawn, there are a few things you can do before you start setting traps.

They have a very keen sense of smell and do not like the odor of onion or garlic, so you can crush onions or garlic cloves and plant it in their trail. I have heard that Juicy Fruit® gum is rather bothersome to them as well.

The remedy is the same for voles.

Thank goodness they are not as common as moles are here in the Lowcountry.

Voles can be very destructive, especially with potted plants.

Also, July is the month we typically see molds and funguses getting a foothold.

The first line of defense is air circulation.

If your shrubs are up against the house, trim them back. Give your home and your landscape room to breathe.

Here are some tried and true remedies to deal with fungus and molds:

Susan Stone

• Powdery mildew, rust and other funguses: Our beloved Crepe Myrtles and roses are very susceptible to powdery mildew.

Early detection and treatment are vital.

Milk & buttermilk can be an effective remedy if caught early. Simply use full to half strength (can be mixed with water) and spray every 7-10 days. Compost Tea has the same effect.

• Garlic is not only a good fungicide, but an excellent insecticide as well. You should know that like many insecticides, it is not selective. It will kill even the non-harmful or beneficial insects. To make a batch, I use about 10 cloves to a gallon of water. The garlic must be crushed and then steeped in the water (set in the sun), or use a blender to mix, then strain.

Making Compost Tea is very easy and doubles as a liquid fertilizer. Just like any other tea, steep in water (out in the sun is perfect), strain and use. You can add Blood Meal, Bone Meal and or Manure to the mix, set aside for a

week to dissolve, then pour a little over your plants each week. This is a perfect fertilizer for lawns too.

• One fungus that spreads quickly in warm, wet weather is Anthracnose. It is a serious disease that affects Dogwoods.

Symptoms of Dogwood Anthracnose include deformed flowers, and small circular spots on the leaves. I recommend taking a sample to your county extension office for information on how to properly diagnose the problem.

Anytime you prune back plants that have been affected by disease, cut well below the affected area. Sterilize your tools with alcohol or diluted bleach between cuts to prevent spreading the problem.

Keeping your plants healthy is your best defense against infestations and diseases. Remember to destroy or remove all trimmings, twigs and leaves.

The spores are still active and will move with the wind.

The in’s and out’s of moving insurance

By State Farm™ staff writer

When preparing for a move, you may be hiring movers, packing, and transferring your homeowners or renters insurance to your new address.

But what about getting moving insurance?

If you’re like most people, you may not realize that your homeowners or renters insurance won’t cover loss or damage to your possessions while in transit. Since moving puts your stuff at risk for all kinds of unforeseeable mishaps, having moving insurance can give you peace of mind should anything go awry.

Moving Insurance Basics Here’s what you need to know to make sure you’re protected for your next move.

• Does my homeowners policy cover a move? Although it’s not standard, some homeowners policies will cover your property during a move. Review your policy or talk with your agent to see if your property is insured while in transit or storage.

• Where do I get moving insurance?

Moving companies offer various insurance options, two of which are mandated by federal law.

1. Released value coverage (or basic carrier liability). As the most basic coverage required by federal law, this liability coverage is free and based on weight, paying up to 60 cents per pound for an item. But if your $500 one-pound tablet gets damaged during a move, well, it hardly comes close to paying the full replacement value.

2. Full value protection (or full replacement value protection). Also required by federal law, this coverage has to be purchased, but experts recommend it, because it pays for either the current market replacement value of an item, replacement with a similar item, or the item’s repair. If you opt for full value protection, make sure to get details of your moving company’s specific plan to see how it determines

replacement value, especially for items of extraordinary value, and to learn what actions might limit your mover’s liability.

3. Separate liability insurance. Some movers might offer this optional insurance for purchase. Governed by state law, separate liability insurance pays for the insurance amount purchased minus the basic carrier liability amount that the mover pays (up to 60 cents per pound). If you go this route, make sure you get a copy of your policy and understand the amount of insurance you purchased and the cost for this coverage.

• What if I do the move myself?

Most likely, your homeowners or auto insurance policy won’t cover your possessions if you transport it in your personal vehicle or in a rental vehicle.

If that’s the case, then you assume the risk if you use your own vehicle for the move. Truck rental companies, on the other hand, offer insurance that not only protects the rental vehicle, but also the driver, passengers, and your cargo, depending on the type of coverage you choose.

• What do I need to file a claim? To file a claim of loss or damage, you may need to prove that the lost or damaged item was actually moved by the movers and not damaged beforehand.

A comprehensive moving inventory list — which should include items of extraordinary value like jewelry, silverware, and digital devices — can help support your claim, so make sure it is complete before the movers transport your property. It’s also wise to take before and after pictures and file your claim promptly to facilitate reimbursement.

Any way you look at it, moving insurance can provide some protection and peace of mind during an extremely stressful time. To learn more about protecting your next move, visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s The Household Goods Program.

Expecting a

Changes in obstetrical care may affect your delivery

B A BY ?

I

f you are currently expecting a baby – or planning to have a baby in the near future – it’s important that you are aware of several changes in obstetrical care in Beaufort County and how they might affect your delivery.

We realize these changes may have caused confusion in the community, so we want you as expectant parents to understand your options for care in order to ensure that your birthing experience goes smoothly.

We hope this information is helpful to you and your families. On behalf of our entire staff we look forward to being a part of one of the most important moments in your family’s life.

FA Q S

about OB care in the Beaufort area

What changes have occurred that might affect my delivery?

Some of the recent changes include: • Several local OB-GYNs moved their hospital privileges to – and are delivering babies at – Coastal Carolina Hospital in Jasper County; • Beaufort Memorial opened its own Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists practice; and, • Naval Hospital relocated its OB-GYNs to North Carolina.

Is Beaufort Memorial still offering birthing services?

YES! The Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial remains committed to providing quality obstetrical care and birthing services, continuing its 70-year tradition of delivering babies right here in the Beaufort community. However, it’s important that patients understand that only physicians who are on the Beaufort Memorial medical staff are able to deliver in our Birthing Center. These include physicians who are associated with Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists or with Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services.

How can I find out where my baby will be delivered?

We recommend that you first clarify with your current OB-GYN provider where he or she has hospital privileges and, as a result, will be delivering your baby.

If I want to deliver my baby in Beaufort, what are my options for care? Earlier this year the hospital opened its own OB-GYN practice in order to

ensure that birthing services will always be available in Beaufort County. Our four board-certified OB-GYNs are delivering babies exclusively at the BMH Birthing Center. All four doctors are accepting new patients.

Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services is another option for obstetrical care and delivery at Beaufort Memorial.

Our Obstetricians, Pediatricians and staff are ready to provide you and your baby excellent care.

To learn which physicians are members of our medical staff, visit our website at beaufortmemorial.org or call our physician referral line at 522-5585. If you would like to visit the BMH Birthing Center, free tours are held on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Check in at the Birthing Center lobby to begin your tour.

What if I have a health emergency while I’m pregnant?

If your OB-GYN does not have privileges at Beaufort Memorial but you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to come to Beaufort Memorial for care, a member of our medical staff will handle your emergency and, if necessary, deliver your baby. Please be assured that we will take care of you regardless of who is the attending OB-GYN, and will reach out to your own OB-GYN to coordinate the best care possible for you and your baby.

school news

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

Annual Back-to-School Expo events scheduled The Beaufort County School District is teaming up with government agencies and private-sector business partners to hold a pair of “Back-to-School Expos” designed to give students and their families a day of fun, food, door prizes and valuable information about the upcoming school year.

The annual expos are scheduled at Bluffton High School on Saturday, July 26, and at Whale Branch Early College High School on Saturday, August 9.

Both events will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and free transportation will be provided from several centralized locations.

“Getting ready for a new school

year requires some planning,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss,“and these events are terrific ways for families to gather a lot of practical and helpful information. “It’s also gratifying to see how much assistance we get from business partners, civic groups and faith-based groups.”

Participating business partners include Hargray, Walgreen’s, Wal Mart, Sodexo and Durham School Services.

Students and their families are encouraged to attend the events, which will feature: • Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.

• Door prizes that will include bicycles,

theme baskets as well as gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses.

• Free school supplies for students, courtesy of Wal-Mart, Walgreen’s and the district’s “Pack the Bus” campaign.

• Free health screenings for adults and children will be provided, including free HIV testing, by Beaufort-JasperHampton Comprehensive Health Services and Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

• Sodexo Food Services will be taking early school lunch applications.

In addition, there will be a special keynote presentation designed to energize and inspire students and families as they begin the new school year. This session will be conducted by Leading to Change,

a Charlotte professional development and training company with corporate clients across the Southeast.

For families needing transportation to the August 9 expo at Whale Branch Early College High, school buses will make pickups at St. Helena Elementary School (8:10 a.m.) and Lady’s Island Middle School (8:30 a.m.). Another bus will make pickups at Beaufort Elementary School (8:15 a.m.) and Robert Smalls Middle (8:30 a.m.).

For additional information on the two expos, contact Lakinsha Swinton at 843322-5451 or lakinsha.swinton@beaufort. k12.sc.us at the Beaufort County School District.

TCL offering three new high-tech industrial programs The Technical College of the Lowcountry will now offer programs in solar photovoltaic technology, solar thermal technology and avionics to prepare students for high-tech careers that are in demand now and in the future.

“Because these programs focus on current and emerging technologies, graduates will gain the skills and training they need to be competitive in the job market of today and tomorrow,” said Dr. Ken Flick, Dean of Industrial and Business Technologies.

The Solar Photovoltaic Technician Certificate program requires 19 credit hours and will train students to install, maintain and repair solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These systems are the solar panels and associated parts used to produce electrical energy to power buildings. Courses will include wiring techniques, concepts of solar energy and solar PV design, sizing and safety. After completing the program, students will have substantial knowledge of solar technologies and installations.

The Solar Thermal Technician Certificate program also requires 19 credit hours. It will teach students to design, install, maintain, and repair solar thermal systems, which provide sun-powered energy for hot water in homes and buildings.

The new solar programs will be a good option to help current electricians and plumbers advance in their careers but also will include background courses for beginners.

“The courses will build on the electrical and plumbing knowledge of existing tradespeople and teach them how to design and install solar systems,” instructor Rick Eckstrom said. “For those new to the electrical trade, background courses in tools and safety,

TCL industrial technology instructors Rick Eckstrom (left) and Tim Newsome (right) work together on a 3,000 watt inverter and solar panel that will be used in TCL’s new solar technology programs.

electrical system design, codes, and practical hands-on skills will be needed. For those new to the plumbing trade, background courses in tools and safety, plumbing system design, codes, and practical hands-on skills will be needed.”

Job opportunities in solar technologies are on the rise across the country. According to the National Solar Jobs Census, solar employment is expected to grow by nearly 16 percent over the next year, representing the addition of approximately 22,240 new solar workers nationally. About 45 percent of all solar establishments expect to add solar employees during this period.

Jobs are available locally, too.

“Our service area should see an increase in installer jobs as costs are falling rapidly,” Eckstrom said. “With experience in installation, the certificate holder should be able to progress to system design.”

The Electronics Technology-Avionics Pathway Associate Degree program will also begin this fall.

Avionics is the study of electronic systems used on

aircraft, artificial satellites and spacecraft. Though TCL has already offered a few courses in avionics through a partnership with Battery Creek High School, this will be the first time avionics classes are offered onsite at TCL. Students will be required to take 64 credit hours in electrical and avionics courses such as avionics general regulation, technical troubleshooting, aircraft electricity, and aircraft and weather radar systems.

TCL has already purchased a radar training system and other equipment through funds provided by its participation in the S.C. ACCELERATE Program, which supports the expansion of advanced manufacturing and industrial technologies.

Avionics instructor Jason Moore says technology is changing, which is making current avionics professionals come back to college. “Now that technology is changing, students, including military men and women, want to come back to school and advance in the communications field,” Moore said.

The avionics program will also prepare students to receive a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license, which will put them a step ahead in landing entry-level positions at aviation companies such as Boeing, Gulfstream, Parker and XRDI. Jobs are available in the Lowcountry, including Beaufort County, Charleston, Savannah and surrounding areas.

Registration for the fall semester ends August 15, and classes start August 21. Prospective students can apply online for free at http://www.tcl.edu/apply.

TCL has campuses in Beaufort, Bluffton and Hampton. For more information about these programs, please contact the Industrial Technologies Division at 843-525-8241.

at whale branch middle school

Student counseling program earns national recognition Whale Branch Middle School has received national honors for its student counseling program.

The school is one of four South Carolina schools — and one of only 72 nationwide — to receive a Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation during recent ceremonies at the American School Counselor Association’s annual conference in Orlando.

The RAMP designation, awarded to schools that align with the criteria set in 12

the ASCA National Model, recognizes schools that are committed to delivering “a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program and an exemplary educational environment.”

“This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, ASCA’s assistant director and RAMP coordinator. “This designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to continue

the island news | july 24-30, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

to strive for success.”

In applying for the award, Whale Branch Middle School put together an advisory council consisting of two teachers, two parents, two community members and Jim Bergin, a professor and counselor education expert at Georgia Southern University.

“We looked at the needs of our students and compared them against national school counseling standards,” said Principal Matt Hunt. “Then counselor

Rebecca Burkhart developed and coordinated a comprehensive counseling program around the needs we identified in our students. While it’s great to be recognized with this award, what we were really focused on is improving the services we provide to our kids.”

RAMP applications are reviewed by a panel of school counseling professionals who assess school counseling programs in 12 different areas of program expertise.

keeping it clean Bob and Melina Cunningham of Merry Maids Housecleaning Service

By Lanier Laney Growing up with four brothers and sisters in a blue collar neighborhood in Philadelphia, Bob Cunningham recalls money was always tight in his family.

“I was fortunate, with my older brother, to get a newspaper route when I was 10,” says Bob. “That planted the seed to be a business owner. The paper route required you to not only deliver the newspapers everyday but collect the money each week from the customers.

This was like owning my own business and I loved it.”

Later on, Bob worked his way through college and got a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing and management from Drexel University in Philadelphia, then joined a national electronics company as a salesman.

Bob says, “When I got transferred to California in 1983, my best friend at the time, Lon Hudson, was transferred to the same office. He was raised in Texas and had a similar upbringing — middle child of five, paper routes, etc. We would have brainstorming lunches right there in the Silicon Valley, thinking of all kinds of businesses to start. One day he put a Nations Business magazine in front of me with a small article about an Omaha, Nebraska, based franchise called Merry Maids. At the time, Merry Maids was pioneering the professional housecleaning franchise model. We both looked at each other and said why not? Lon and his brother cleaned houses while attending North Texas State, and I had worked at a car wash so we thought that was good cleaning experience. There were no professional companies cleaning houses at that time, so we just thought there was tremendous opportunity for a professional company to service this market.”

He left the electronics business in August 1985 to start his first Merry Maids business in Mountain View, California.

“I always wanted to own and operate a business and this fit the budget I had at the time to start one,” says Bob. “Since then, we have added offices in Gilroy and San Jose in California; Beaufort and Charleston in South Carolina. Most of my day is spent interacting with my incredible management staff and the outstanding housecleaners that work for us.”

More than 10 years later, in 1996, Bob met his beautiful wife, Melina, in San Francisco, where they were both living at the time. They fell in love and got married three years later.

Melina, who is of Philippine heritage, was born in San Francisco and grew up there and in Vancouver, British Columbia, where her father was in real estate. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from San Diego State University.

“Bob and I have a joke that if you couldn’t make it in other more difficult majors, you ended up a marketing 16

major,” Melina says. “I guess we both weren’t the most academically gifted, but we both worked really hard after college and made up for it by having the help of some amazing mentors.”

Today, Melina does the bookkeeping for Merry Maids.

How they found Beaufort Says Bob, “Melina and I came to visit two families who had just moved to Beaufort from the Silicon Valley. We immediately fell in love with the place. On the plane ride back to California, Melina looked at me and said, ‘I want to move to Beaufort. This is the place I want to raise our kids’. So a year later we moved.”

Adds Melina, “All of our kids now go to Riverview Charter School which we love!”

Wes is 13, Gracie is 11, and the twins — Laila and Lana — are 7.

Says Bob, “Melina and I are both city folks — so we were concerned about how we would adjust to a small town. But we immediately fell in love with the lifestyle and especially the people. In the first year in Beaufort we had more good friends than in the 10 years we spent in California.

You can’t beat the sense of community — people are always getting together to have fun and helping each other out.”

Adds Melina, “Yes the people here make Beaufort a wonderful place to live.

Life is full of amazing opportunities and challenges and it’s good to know we are part of a community of people who have our backs and we have theirs.”

About Merry Maids Bob says,“My goal in starting our Merry Maid businesses is to hire great people and take care of them. The twin brothers from Minnesota who started Merry Maids told me that this is a people business and if you take care of your employees and customers, they will take care of you. This philosophy has not changed since 1985.

My parents always impressed us with

I have always worked to ingrain this in all of the Merry Maids companies.”

He adds, “We have been so blessed by the support of our business from the Beaufort community. We started in June of 2008 at the start of one of the worst recessions in U.S. history. But we were able to grow at such a rate that in 2009 we were awarded the Dallen Peterson Award of Excellence, which is given each year in honor of the founder to the top-performing franchise of that year.

The military has been a big supporter of our business in both customers and employees. Over half of our cleaning staff are military wives.”

Melina says, “I would like to thank our staff. Even though I’m not involved in the day to day operations, I thank God every single day for our employees. They are all special in their own way and they make Merry Maids a great company. Employees have come and gone but all have contributed to helping Bob and I become better owners. That is our intention, anyway, to always learn and grow and become better because of our opportunities and most of all our challenges.”

She adds, “Bob jokes all the time that Merry Maids saves lots of marriages. I joke that men should know that the best foreplay is chores. But if you don’t want to do chores, you should hire Merry Maids for your wife and you’ll be glad

you did.”

True to their word, Merry Maids and its employees have given back to the community. Says Melina, “The Beaufort community is blessed with so many great local charities that we have worked with. We have been able to support these with our employees volunteering and/ or gift certificates to support fundraising programs.” Some of the worthy causes and nonprofits they have supported include the Coastal Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Military Appreciation Day, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Riverview Charter School Beaufort Twilight Run, Beaufort Water Festival, Cleaning for a Reason, Historic Beaufort Foundation, TCL, Family Promise, Beaufort County Disabilities and Special Needs Department, CAPA, LowCountry Food Bank, Toys for Tots, Wyldelife and Young Life.

As for the future Bob says, “We plan to continue living and operating all of our businesses from Beaufort. We are very blessed to have a partner in California who runs our operations there.”

Bob gets out there three or four times a year, and is fortunate to have a younger brother and his wife who live not far from one of the offices.

Melina says, “I am a super geeky health nerd. I give away health books, and sometimes people run the other way when they see I’m coming. If you get me started, I will talk your ear off, so beware! In the future, I want to help people be healthier and happier. I’m not sure what this looks like yet, but for now I’m happy that Merry Maids helps people save time and have less stress in their lives. I think reducing stress is way more important than eating perfectly or exercising all the time, so I’m happy Merry Maids is helping people that way.”

wine

Bring on the summer bubbly

By Celia Strong

I think bubbles are good all the time.

And, because I tend to drink them all the time, I expect everyone else to enjoy them too. And, hopefully, with today’s lesson, one or two of you may join me in doing bubbles on a regular basis.

Our bubbles this week come from California. As we know, this makes them officially sparkling wine, not Champagne. Champagne is a sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wines are Champagne. The soil where the grapes grow, and the grape varieties used and the process that makes the bubbles are the determining factors. Since we already know we are doing a California, let’s just study bubbles from there — the grapes, the styles, the history and legacy. And, of course, our winery for this week’s bottle.

For some fun trivia: Do you know who is the father of American Sparkling Wine? When I hear anyone say anything about American sparkling wine, I jump to the conclusion they must mean California, maybe Washington or Oregon. But, no. The first sparkling wine made in this country was in 1842 in Ohio. And, like in the Champagne region of France, it was by accident.

Nicholas Longworth moved from New Jersey to Cincinnati in 1803, the same year that Ohio became a state. Longworth was 21 years old and started studying law. Within a couple of years of starting his own law firm, he was the wealthiest man in the state. Longworth, though, was not a big drinker and was appalled at the amount of whiskey that his fellow Ohioans drank. Believing it might be healthier, and without really being interested in drinking any himself, he turned to grape growing and winemaking. He planted his first vineyard in 1813 and played with “vitis vinifera” varieties from France as well as native grapes. Finally, in 1825, he found a grape that was able to grow successfully in Ohio — Catawba, a hybrid that was a cross between a Labrusca grape on a “vinifera” vine root.

Three years later, he got his first musky tasting wine. In an effort to remove the muskiness, Longworth removed the skins before fermentation and ended up with a pinkish wine similar to a White Zinfandel. During the 1830’s, Longworth

18

planted more vineyards. And, finally, in 1842, he had his accident. Some bottles of his Catawba wine had second fermentations happen in them. And the wine was bubbly. By 1859, Ohio was the biggest wine producer in the country and Longworth was the king of the industry.

He produced more than 100,000 bottles a year and distributed his wines across the country and even in Europe.

The history of sparkling wine in California can be traced to Sonoma Valley, in 1892. The Korbel brothers used the “méthode chamoenoise” to make sparkling wines from Riesling, Muscatel, Traminer and Chasselas. With time, the quality got better and the traditional grapes — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier — became available. And foreign investments, most importantly from Champagne houses, came. Moët et Chandon built Domaine Chandon in southern Napa Valley. Taittinger built Domaine Carneros in Carneros.

Louis Roederer built Roederer Estate in Anderson Valley. And, we stop right there.

Because our winery this week is Roederer Estate.

First, though, we have to realize that there are differences, besides the soil and climate, between Champagnes and California sparkling wines. A normal Champagne cuvée (non-vintage house blend) is rarely made with less than 30 different wines. Often they are made from 50 to 60, and sometimes more, vintages.

Usually, California sparkling wines come from four to six different vintages. In Champagne, non-vintage wines have to age on their lies for at least 15 months.

Legally, they have to. California has no such minimum requirements and six to eight months is normal. In Champagne, vintage-dated wines are not made every year; the grapes from one year are not usually good enough to stand on their own without blending in other vintages’

the island news | july 24-30, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

grapes. The climate in California is much nicer to grapes and almost every year they can make vintage bubbles. It is partly the requirements in the Champagne region that raises their prices.

The Anderson Valley is one of the AVAs in Mendocino County. It is one of the very coolest grape growing areas in California. Since the 1980’s, this area has been associated with high quality wines, including great sparkling wines.

This valley is located about 100 miles north of San Francisco. Its climate is tempered by cool marine air, with the average annual temperature being about 53 degrees. (Sounds wonderful compared to our current temperature and humidity!) The first European

settlers came to the Anderson Valley in 1850, right at the same time Mr. Longhorn was making his sparkling Catawba wine back in Ohio. The first vineyards were planted here in the early 1960’s, but it wasn’t until the 1980’s that the wine boom came this far north.

Louis Roederer looked for years for a location for its American sparkling wine, and chose the Anderson Valley because its climate is so similar to Champagne’s.

Roederer Estate was founded in 1982.

Louis Roederer then-president JeanClaude Rouzaud bought 580 acres in Anderson Valley. He was the fifth generation of his family who owned Louis Roederer. He thought the cool climate and well-drained soil there were perfect for their style of sparkling wine. At the estate, they grow only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. And Rouzaud invented a new trellising style for the vines that had a moveable wire, this let them optimize the balance between acids and sugars. They also keep a supply of reserve wines so that each cuvée has some blended into it. The blending in of these reserve wines makes Roederer Estate Brut a unique sparkling wine, one with body, finesse and deep flavors.

Generally, this wine is made from 60 percent Chardonnay and 40 percent Pinot Noir, all grown on their land by them. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at 65 degrees and malolactic is rarely done, both to keep the acidity in the wine higher so it can age well. The Roederer Estate Brut is aged for at least two years on its lies.

This sparkling wine is crisp and elegant with complex pear, spice and hazelnut flavors. It has real depth and intensity in its flavors and textures.

Roederer Estate Brut goes well with cheeses and charcuterie, salads, cream sauces, seafood, sushi and Asian foods and flavors, roast chicken and turkey, birthdays, anniversaries, Sunday afternoons — all day, every day, with everything.

It may not be a sparkling, awardwinning Catawba from Ohio, but it is a great sparkling wine, and wins awards in its category. It usually sells for $25 to $30 dollars. For us, though? Only $20.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Enjoy!

THE UPPER CRUST

At this bustling pizzeria on Lady’s Island, hungry patrons stream in and out. The Upper Crust attracts families and groups with big tables and booths and an extensive menu that serves stellar pizza, pasta, salad and sandwiches.

Canine cabin fever

By Tracie Korol

It’s another day of smothery heat.

The humidity is neck and neck with the temperature and the AC runs constantly.

We’re all getting a bit crabby; even a walk to the mailbox requires resolve before, and icy beverages afterward. Your dog bursts out of the house expecting his usual run but stops dead in his tracks, turns to glare at you with the dog equivalent of WTF?.

We already know the important summertime safety tips: Do not leave your dog in the car alone, even with the AC running. Save the big runs for early morning or late evening. Keep our flatfaced and heavy-coated friends indoors as they have little hope of self-cooling. Here are a few ideas for hot-weather, boredomrelieving dog fun when it’s Too. Darn. Hot. Bobbing for Hot Dogs: Scoring food always ranks high among favorite canine activities. With a cheap kiddie pool and a few hot dogs you can engage your dog’s brain in the lowest-key way possible.

Fill the pool in a shady spot in the yard or the garage, pull up a chair and toss hot dog pennies into the pool for Best Friend to fish out. You could turn this game into a teaching moment with cues or command review, but it’s just too hot to think about that. Just have fun.

Remember to cut dinner rations by an equal amount of wet hot dog. And,

please, hose the slimy hot dog goo out of the pool when the game is over or you’ll have to buy a new pool.

Nose Games: We have a mere five million olfactory receptors in our noses, while our dogs have upwards of 125 million. That’s why our dogs sometimes seem distracted when we think there’s nothing of interest around; they’re reading the air. Having a big smeller is also great for indoor low-energy doggy brain games.

An easy one to teach is find it! (Your dog needs to know how to stay for this game.)

Ask your BF to stay. Show her a small, high value treat — a fingernail-size piece of cheese or freeze-dried liver is perfect.

Tell her, find it! and drop the treat on the ground near her. Hopefully, she’ll find it in a split second. (praise, praise, praise!)

Always starting from a Stay, do several reps, tossing the treats farther away, and have her return to you and the Stay. The challenge: Put the treat down just out of

sight — around the corner of the couch, for instance, or behind a table leg. Remember to show her the treat in advance, so she knows what scent she’s hunting for and cue to find it!.

When BF’s attention begins to wander, up the ante. Park her in a Stay and hide the treat in the next room. Or put the treat in the same room but hide it under a throw pillow or a shoebox. Up the ante again: put out three empty shoe boxes with a treat under just one of them. Take the game outside when it cools off. Hide the treat above ground level — on a chair, or windowsill. BF will keep going as long as you have snacks and as long as you praise.

The Sniffy Walk: All dogs need regular, off-leash aerobic exercise to burn off pent-up energy. But when it’s too hot to move, it’s time for the pokey,

sniffy walk. Sniffy walks, an important counterpart to aerobic exercise, meet doggy behavioral needs at any age. My granddog, now an elder gent, excels at the sniffy walk, going into a trance at a rock, a can or something else seemingly uninteresting to us. His thoughtful upward gaze, the one that makes you think that dogs do understand the complexities of the world, is the pay-off.

Pure satisfaction! Half an hour of nosing around, with pauses for inspection at every bush and fire hydrant, can leave your dog refreshed and content. I think it’s comparable to how we feel after we’ve had our coffee, read the paper, and checked our email. When it’s too hot to play fetch or wrestle with other dogs, slow, sniffy walks become even more important as boredom killer.

This week I have three giant dogs with me. Normally, we’d spend hours every day on long rambling off-road walks to burn off big dog energy. But this week we’re all flattened by the heat. Today, I placed a big sheet over the carpet and everyone worked on large, frozen bones, indoors, in the AC and in front of a fan.

Then, nap. We’ll go for a short run later.

Maybe.

ABLE Foundation looking for volunteers

ABLE Foundation, the Disabilities Foundation for Beaufort County, is seeking volunteers to serve on its board of directors and to assist with special projects. The nonprofit ABLE Foundation supports services and programs assisting individuals with special needs. ABLE’s efforts in the recent past and this year have been to fund a summer camp, called Camp Treasure Chest, for children with special needs. Children with needs such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome, genetic disorders and autism may require additional and special services and trained staff and accommodations, not usually available at regular summer camps. In the absence of the Camp Treasure Chest, these special needs children would likely not have a summer camp experience. Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated and the camp is almost solely supported thru fund raising and grants. ABLE has supported an expansion of the camp this year, so that more children will be served. One camp will be located in Bluffton in addition to Beaufort. Contact ABLE at 843-255-6300.
