fighting fires, earning honors

Two local fire chiefs receive statewide recognition for commitment to service At the South Carolina State Firefighter Association’s annual conference held in Myrtle Beach on June 14, two local fire chiefs received recognition for their excellent work in the community and dedication to service statewide.

Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District Chief Bruce Kline was awarded the Firefighter of the Year for 2014. He is the first two-time winner of this award, which he also won in 1999.

Chief Kline has served as president of the association and has been an executive committee member for nearly 20 years.

He is a South Carolina Firefighter Hall of Famer and has been awarded the Medal of Valor for an act of bravery. He has

spent his career training firefighters and educating the public on fire safety. He has led the charge in South Carolina teaching people the importance of residential sprinklers and continues to be committed to the state’s fire service.

Chief Kline was raised in Ogdensburg, N.Y., and came to Beaufort in 1980 by way of the United States Marine Corps.

He began his career at Beaufort City Fire Department in 1984. He became the fire chief of Fripp Island 1991, and in 2005 he became the chief of the Lady’s Island – St. Helena Fire District, where he continues to serve and lead.

His first involvement with the South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association came in 2007 when he assisted with the planning for the funerals for the Charleston 9. “Fire Chief Bruce Kline invited me in to build the command structure for these funerals,” he described.

Because of his work in Charleston, he was appointed to the Member’s Benefits Chair in 2008. He was then elected to the office of 4th Vice President in 2010.

The South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association is made up of 17,500 firefighters from all around the state. The firefighters represent 500 different fire departments.

Chief Vaignuer says, “I entered the fire service to make a difference in the community. By being in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, I have been able to make a difference in the South Carolina Fire Service.”

Is someone poking your Zen Bubble?

By Martha O’Regan

Is someone poking your Zen bubble?

If so, give yourself permission to simply declare that your “Zen Bubble” is yours and others are not allowed to poke on it, squeeze it, stomp on it or push it into a corner — it is yours to protect at all costs. Inside that “Zen Bubble” is the home to your mind, body and spirit that are designed to work together harmoniously, as long as there are no interferences from within or “out with” negative influences.

Our “Zen Bubble” is the energy field or aura that surrounds each one of us, both individually and collectively, when connected as a family, a team, a class, or as united spectators at a concert or sporting event. It tends to extend farther in front and above us and is always changing based on our personal thoughts and emotions as well as those around us. It can’t be seen by most, but it is measurable and able to be photographed with special Kirlian photography. Our physical health and well being is often a reflection of what is happening in the field around us. When we are surrounded with love and support, our field can be intertwined with the cohesive positive energy of love and we feel good. Conversely, when in the presence of discontent and upset, the field gets compressed, giving us feelings of anxiety, agitation, tension or “nervous

stomach.”

The auric field is highly sensitive to its surroundings. For example, have you ever been at a function where a stranger enters and, for no obvious reason, you are instantly drawn to that person?

They have an attractable energy field that connects to yours and pulls you in. The opposite can be true when you enter a space where an argument has just occurred or, for no apparent reason, you just get the weebie jeebies. Your field is immediately squeezed and may be repelling you from the perceived “danger” it senses. Or, maybe you are walking in the woods and instinctively put your hand up to push a way a branch that you sensed before you saw. Or, you have the music cranked up while busy on a project but able to sense that someone walked in a room even though you didn’t hear them.

A great way we like demonstrate someone’s energy field is to use a pair of

We all have the capacity to alter any given moment for ourselves and others, depending on the field of thoughts and emotions that we carry within and around our own personal Zen Bubble.

wire coat hangers like a dowsing rod — really, it works. We have the person just stand there being themselves, then think of something that is frustrating and then about something that brings about joy. The field changes instantaneously, compressing for negative patterns and expanding for positive ones. We then have that person think of a goal they are working on and find the distance of the field. Two groups are then asked to take turns standing behind that person, one group simply thinking “I support you” without even knowing the person or the goal and the other group thinking about something that frustrated them that day.

The edges of the field will exponentially expand or contract depending on positive or negative support demonstrating the effects of others fields in the presence of our own. They can either squeeze our dreams or help us fly, depending on their field in that moment.

We all have the capacity to alter any

given moment for ourselves and others depending on the field of thoughts and emotions that we carry within and around our own personal Zen Bubble. Use it to check in and feel what you feel. Do you feel open or tight around the heart/chest area?

Are you able to speak with ease or do you suddenly get a “frog” in your throat? These are our built-in indicators of whether we are surviving or thriving in that moment.

So, next time someone is poking your Zen Bubble, simply breathe deeply and expand your bubble with a positive thought or by thinking the word “love.”

You don’t have to send the person love, you are simply expanding your field in an effort to have the other person move on or help shift their energy. Give it a try.

Pedestrian safety tips

By State Farm™ Walking not only gets you from point A to point B, but it’s also a great way to get some exercise. Unfortunately, it also makes you the most vulnerable user of the road.

In 2010, more than 4,200 pedestrians were killed in traffic deaths while another 70,000 were injured. So whatever your destination, it’s good you take some simple steps to keep you and your family safe.

When You’re Walking Use sidewalks. When available, they are the safest place to walk. If no sidewalk is provided, it is usually safer to walk facing road traffic, but use extreme caution. Stay off freeways and other restricted zones.

Be visible. Light colors and clothes with reflective materials make you stand out. If you’re in a very dark area, you might want to carry a flashlight to help see where you’re going and make yourself more visible.

Stay alert. There are a lot of distracted drivers on the road, so be aware at all times.

Don’t allow your vision to be blocked by clothing or hats or yourself to get distracted using your cell phone. Making eye contact with drivers when crossing a busy street is a good way for them to recognize you.

Avoid alcohol and drugs. They can greatly impair your ability to walk safely and make good decisions. Of all the pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in 2010, 33% were legally intoxicated.

Cross streets at a corner. While it may be tempting to cross mid-block, this is where most injuries occur. Using traffic signals and crosswalks is much safer, especially in high-traffic areas.

Look both ways. Look left, then right, then left again before crossing. Keep your eyes open as you cross and be aware that drivers might not see you even though you can see them.

Be especially careful at intersections.

This is where many drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way while turning onto another street. Watch and follow the pedestrian signal, not the traffic signal.

Watch out for parked vehicles. Parking lots can be especially dangerous as most drivers have a limited view when backing out.

Use caution around driveways and alley entrances. Drivers are often not expecting anyone to be walking there and extra attention is required.

When You’re Driving Be aware of children. They are often impulsive and can dart out in the street at any time. Follow the speed limit and be especially cautious around residential neighborhoods and school zones.

Yield to pedestrians. When making a turn and waiting for an opening in traffic, be aware that pedestrians may have moved into your path. They always have the rightof-way.

Be cautious around driveways and alleys. When entering and exiting, these can be very difficult places to spot pedestrians. Keep a close lookout, and if you can’t see clearly, slow down.

Reduce distractions.

Spotting pedestrians requires your full attention.

Using a cell phone, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, reading a map, or changing the radio station only makes it more difficult and dangerous.

Approach crosswalks carefully. If a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross, stop well back so drivers in other lanes also have time to yield. Do not pass another vehicle that has stopped for pedestrians.

Remember, awareness is always key no matter how you get around. A little common sense and good judgment can help everyone safely share the road.

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

FOR JESSICA ROCKWELL-LONG AND HAMPTON LONG,THERE’S

no shortage of caring J

By Lanier Laney

essica Rockwell’s parents knew she wanted to be a vet from 3 years of age, when they watched her trying to save hermit crabs at the beach. Jessica recently found plans that she drew on construction paper when she was 10: She was going to buy all of Lemon Island and turn it into a huge veterinary hospital and sanctuary for unwanted animals.

Today, years later, Jessica’s husband, Hampton Long, is secretary of the board of trustees that is building the Maritime Center on Lemon Island, dedicated to preserving the area’s delicate marine ecosystem and educating children about the fish and crustaceans that live among the salt marshes.

Although their backgrounds are different, Jessica and Hampton’s combined desire to do their part to help has come full circle.

A passion for animals and a love of medicine made becoming a small animal veterinarian an easy choice for Jessica, who has been a popular vet at Sea Island Animal Hospital for the past 10 years, after graduating magna cum laude from the University of Georgia Veterinary School.

Her family is originally from Minnesota, and moved to Beaufort in 1975 to the Cuthbert House, before it was a bed and breakfast. Her mother, Judy Rockwell, was a captain in the Navy and now is program manager for SC Department of Health and Environmental Control. Her father David Rockwell, was a teacher for 40 years and the technology coordinator for Beaufort County School District.

Hampton Long grew up in New York City and Greenwich, Conn. His parents, Catey and T. Michael Long, both had Southern roots. They longed to return to the South when they started contemplating retirement, and bought a house on Spring Island in 1998. The family quickly became enchanted with the beauty and history of Beaufort.

Hampton is a Harvard graduate, has a law degree from Vanderbilt and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Finance and Accounting from Wharton School of Business. After a stint in Frankfurt, Germany, as a financial analyst, he developed his skills in the field of venture capital while working in Philadelphia, where he found it to be very rewarding assisting innovative earlystage companies along the development curve.

But he disliked the winters there, so he was elated

Dr. Jessica Rockwell-Long and Hampton Long.

in 2010 when his father — a general partner at Brown Brothers Harriman & Company — and he were presented with the opportunity to start their own healthcare and energy-focused venture capital firm, Caswell Investments, LLC, in “Beautiful Beaufort.” As senior vice president, Hampton oversees all the research, financial analysis and due diligence for Caswell’s perspective investment and advisory opportunities.

Says Hampton, “Professionally, to sit at the right hand of one of the very best and well-respected investment practitioners in the industry was a compellingly unique opportunity. The fact that my co-founder would be my best friend and father made it a true blessing. The experience has been everything I hoped and so much more.” He adds, “I particularly enjoy that as venture capitalist investors and advisors — from where we sit — the future is a very exciting place with significant steps forward coming in both medical technology and energy.”

Jessica recalls how she met her husband: “Alison Guilloud and Melanie McCaffree did us the biggest favor of our lives four years ago by deciding that they should set us up. The McCaffrees are dear friends of the Longs and invited Hampton over for dinner. Alison asked me to come along. He called me a few days later, and the rest is history. I married the most amazing man! We are so blessed to have found each other. He is the kindest, wittiest man with a fierce loyalty for anyone or anything

he loves. I can’t wait to get home to him. We just genuinely enjoy each other!”

Hampton adds, “In addition to being beautiful inside and out, Jessica is easily among the smartest people I have ever met in my life and truly my confidant and best advocate. We have experienced many of the same up’s and down’s in life and are blessed to be able to draw great strength from each other’s perspectives. Ultimately, to be able to call Jessica my wife will always be my greatest accomplishment.”

They both are fans of Beaufort. Jessica says, “We love being close to family and friends. Growing up here, I never thought I would return to Beaufort.

That’s what most native Beaufortonians say when they leave, and yet, here we all reside!”

Says Hampton, “I love Beaufortonians’ warm and welcoming nature, their care and responsible stewardship of the area’s rich history and natural beauty and their strong sense of service to their neighbors — both through faith-based and secular charitable organizations. Having lived in many places, it is truly a wonderful combination that is rarely replicated anywhere else.”

In their giving back to Beaufort, Hampton has been involved in several charitable organizations besides board secretary of the Port Royal Sound Foundation since 2012. He’s been a council member at St. John’s Lutheran Church since 2013 and recently became a board member of the Open Land Trust. Jessica has been a member of the Junior Service League of Beaufort since 2005 and is currently co-chair of the Sustainer’s Project.

She chaired a committee for Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Valentine’s Ball this past year, and provides ongoing support of the Hilton Head Humane Association and Beaufort County Animal Shelter.

The couple avidly supports the nonprofit Port Royal Sound Foundation and looks forward to the new Maritime Education Center being constructed at the old Lemon Island Marina site on S.C. 170 that is due to open later this year. Among many other initiatives, the center’s programs will provide a place for area students to learn about the sound’s rich ecosystem and all the fish, crustaceans and wildlife that make their special home there.

Beaufort Football Camp kicks off 12th year The 12th annual Beaufort Youth Football Camp was held last week at Beaufort High School. It is the football team’s major fundraiser, but the main objective is to build a rapport, have an impact on the youth, and to give alumni an opportunity to give back to the community. Here are a few notes about the week: • Twelve kids were nominated for scholarships to the camp from

principals and teachers at St. Helena, Lady’s Island and Coosa elementary schools, and the two middle schools, based on good behavior and grades.

Here is the coaching staff and exfootball players who lead the camp: • Coach Bryan Merrick: Camp Director; Alex Simmons: Savannah State; Mike Rentz: The Citadel; AJ Smalls: Limestone College; Zach Marshall: USC; Eric Blakely:

National Guard and Limestone College; Ben Vaigneur: Presbyterian College.

The daily schedule included football skills relays, fundamental skills work on the practice field, Punt, Pass and Kick competition and League Games in the stadium.

They also learned the importance of teamwork, positive attitude, respect, sportsmanship and responsibility.

Because of the lack of wind and an incoming tide, a power boat was used to tow these sailors to the starting point of their race in the Port Royal Sound on Saturday. By race time the wind had kicked up enough for the sailors to race. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

The 2014 Lowcountry Regatta was sailed on June 21-22 at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club on Lady’s Island. Ninety boat participated in 13 different classes of dinghies on three race courses. An estimated 200 visitors came to Beaufort from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, either as sailing crews or family support. They all enjoyed the hospitality and facilities of the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club including the great Lowcountry Boil on Saturday night. Winds were good at 6-12 knots and all three courses were able to have five to seven races. A plus for the weekend was that the storms stayed away until the event was over.

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

Bridges Prep makes Bob Cook permanent Head of School With skills both as an educational leader and for leading Bridges Preparatory School into the future, Bob Cook this week became the downtown Beaufort state charter school’s permanent Head of School.

Cook earned a Master’s degree in secondary education from The Citadel and a Bachelor’s degree in biology from the College of Education at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

“Bob demonstrated to us in his six months as Interim Head of School that he is a strong educator, a stabilizing leader and a visionary who understands what it will take to lead Bridges Prep to the next

step as we grow into our middle school and high school curriculum,” said John Payne, chairman of the Bridges Preparatory Board of Directors.

Bob Cook B r i d g e s Preparatory School, chartered by the state in mid-2012, opened at near capacity to some 360 K-6 students last August.

The Bridges Board of Directors recently entered a contract to buy the Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort facility

at 1100 Boundary Street as the school’s permanent home.

Bridges has more than 140 students on its waiting list for enrollment for the upcoming school year, when it adds a seventh grade.

Cook leads Kay Keeler, Bridges’ Assistant Head of School, and the school’s exceptional faculty and staff.

“We have a great leadership team. Bob Cook is an experienced middle and high school principal and Kay Keeler is an experienced elementary school principal.

It’s especially important as Bridges Prep begins adding middle and high school grades, starting with seventh grade when

classes resume in August,” Payne said.

Preparations already are under way for the next school year, Cook said.

“We celebrated the end of our first exciting year and the tremendous strides we made,” Cook said. “Now we turn our attention to preparing for our bigger and better second year, including adding seventh grade and beginning our plans for renovating our facility.”

As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in South Carolina and students are enrolled from Beaufort, Port Royal, Burton, St. Helena Island, Okatie, Bluffton, and Jasper and Hampton counties.

The intersection of What the Heck and Why Not

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

There is a certain purity in the dark throes of exhaustion, a time in which there is no desire for pleasantries, pretension fades into perspective and instinct prevails. A gentle nudge from the edge of reason and a slight thump from the hand of humanity is all that threads the final cloth of the quilt of life. Day turns to night and night turns to day with no discrimination or differentiation. We are able to compartmentalize, categorize and rationalize events by intensity of action.

That which requires little energy becomes sanctuary from that which requires thought. The intersection of What the Heck and Why Not is poetically named parenthood.

Having now traveled along the parenthood path for the entirety of eight full months, I am an obvious expert in everything I don’t know, should have known, should have done and certainly shouldn’t have said.

It is a badge of courage I wear proudly, when I don’t forget it in her diaper bag. The adorable books coated in fairy tales and free advice that lined her nursery shelves are now her basic chew toys and weapons to wield upon my once spoiled dog. The closet of once pristinely precious clothes are now characterized by

the degree of stain, since baby food takes no prisoners. The crib that I wistfully watched for three months is now seen by its tiny occupant as a mortal enemy of which to avoid at all costs. Those sweet lace-trimmed headbands and bows are but a tool of distraction while attempting to put Cherimie a diaper on a little lady who prefers Crane Weatherford au natural over a covered derriere.

Sweet, soothing lullabies have given way to creative ad libs that will never earn me Mom of the Year. This new job requires an all new skill set that changes the moment any mastery occurs.

Having always been somewhat of a quick study, parenthood baffles me into an oblivion. Ingrained in my very being is the belief that nothing is impossible, yet opening a tiny container of sweet potato puree while holding the future kickboxing queen of the world is, for all practical purposes, impossible.

Finding common ground with any adversary has been relatively easy for me. However, finding common ground with a tea cup version of myself over the necessity of sleep has proven to be a battle I shall wage

with little hope of victory and no hope of surrender.

Proudly, I implemented every Googled remedy of proper parenting only to end the day violating every recommended procedure given. Clearly, parenting is subjective.

Silence was once my solace, now it is my cue to rush to see what calamity has ensued. My life once had a clear rhythm, a simplicity of being and moments of rest. The only rhythm that remains now is the cadence of my feet back and forth to the changing station. It is a glorious whirlwind of pride and fear doused in the storms of self-doubt. It is a true test of character, a trial of triumph and a tale of a Mom in the making. There shall be epic battles, moments of valor and twists and turns that will pale even the greatest of novels — and that is just during the fastening of the car seat.

I have met my match, my most worthy of opponents, my greatest challenge of all and she has familiar eyes, a formidable determination and a flair for the dramatic.

She has turned my world upside down, my days inside out and my home into a domicile of bibs and blankies.

I will never be the person I was before, and for that I am immensely thankful, eternally exhausted and fully accepting of the complexity of sweet potato puree.

‘Murder in Margaritaland’ will be a killer good time A heartbroken lifeguard and a steroid-shooting surf pro. A couple of sexy gold diggers willing to fight for the bijillionaire they both, um, love.

Big screen superstar Loni Luhan, who’s supposed to be in rehab, but just can’t pass up the party.

wine

Think outside the wooden box with a Spanish Rioja

By Celia Strong

I suppose we have to accept certain facts in life. One of those facts, as it applies to us today, is that presentation is everything. When it comes to wine, attractive labels and interesting bottle sizes and colors make for visually tempting options on the shelf. This week’s wine from the Rioja region in Spain takes presentation to the next level, and comes in its own wooden box.

Spain is the most widely planted wine producing country in the world. But, only the third largest wine producing country. Only? And, why? Because the climate in Spain is warm and dry and to produce their best wines they need to limit their vines’ yields. In consumption, Spain is ninth in the world.

There are many native grapes in the country. Archeologists believe vines were grown in Spain as early as between 4,000 and 3,000 BC — a long time before the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians and the Romans. Still, though, the Romans, when they ruled the Iberian Peninsula, developed Spanish grape growing and winemaking to a great extent. Spanish wines were shipped to many parts of the empire, including Gaul, Normandy, and Britain.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, invading barbaric tribes did little to continue or better the wine industry in Spain. Interestingly, the Moors who followed, despite being Muslim with their Islamic dietary laws that forbade the use of alcohol, were ambiguous in their position toward wine production in Spain. When colonies in the New World opened new opportunities to Europeans, Spanish wines were exported further than ever.

Looking at the climate of Spain, and its geography, a vast plateau known as the Meseta Central covers much of central Spain. Several principal rivers flow from there through the heart of many wine regions, including Rioja. The more inland, closer to the Meseta Central, the climate gets much warmer. Many wine regions get less than 12 inches of rain a year. And summer temperatures can regularly go over 100 degrees. One answer to cool off the vines, and make better wines, has been to plant them at higher elevations.

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

The Ramon Bilbao wine for this week is from the Rioja region of Spain, and is made from 100 percent Tempranillo grapes.

Wines from Rioja, the red ones, are sold in four categories.

“Rioja” is the youngest wine, with less than a year of barrel aging. The wine is a cherry red color with intense aromas of ripe, red berries, bay leaf and minerals, even some cocoa.

Spanish wine laws were enacted in 1932, and revised in 1970. The top level is DO with two regions at a higher, better quality level known as DOCa — Rioja and Priorat. Rioja was declared first, in 1991, and Priorat in 2003. Rioja, we have learned before, is known mostly for its red wines based on the Tempranillo grape, but they also produce white and rosé wines. This region is about 75 square miles in size with about 123,000 acres planted, about 60 percent of the whole. Tempranillo is the main variety planted, followed by Viura (white),

“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”

Ramon Bilbao Rioja from Spain

Garnacha (red), Graciano (red), and Mazuelo (red).

The first written mention of Rioja wine comes from 1063, but there is evidence of grapes growing there from 873. Wines from Rioja, the red ones, are sold in four categories. “Rioja” is the youngest wine, with less than a year of barrel aging. A “Crianza” is aged for at least two years, at least one in barrels. “Rioja Reserva” is aged for at least three years, at least one in barrels. And “Rioja Gran Reserva” is aged at least two years in oak and at least three years in its bottle. For sure, each of these progressively older wines get progressively more expensive. More complex. More intense.

Tempranillo is a black grape. Its name comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” meaning “early.” It does ripen about two weeks earlier than most other red varieties grown in Spain.

Tempranillo has been grown on the Iberian Peninsula since the Phoenicians came. Because of the great red wines of Rioja, it is known as Spain’s “noble” grape.

It grows especially well in chalky soil and usually shows plum and strawberry flavors. Across most of Spain, their are clones and mutations of Tempranillo growing in many areas.

All of which gets us to our producer for this week’s wine — Ramón Bilbao.

Wineries in Spain are usually called “bodegas,” with about 150 in Rioja. This bodega was founded in 1924 by Ramón Bilbao Murga. He was an experienced

grape grower and a pioneer in the art of aging his wines. The winery was handed down, from generation to generation, until 1966 when Ramón Bilbao Pozo, the last descendent, died. In 1972, a corporation was formed to continue the work of their founder by making aged wines. Then, in 1999, new owners renovated the bodega and its facilities.

By 2006, they were making top quality wines.

Most of the buildings at Bodega Ramón Bilbao have been there since 1972. They house stainless steel vats with temperature controls and a wide upper entrance to keep stirring and other manual work with the juice in the vats easier. Barrel rooms are grouped together with climate controls and the bottling room is in an underground cavern.

Ramón Bilbao owns about 185 acres of top quality Rioja vineyard land. Their theory of winemaking includes using the best grapes from the best estates and vineyards, barrels made from the best European and American oak, and the best traditions of Rioja and their founder.

Our Ramón Bilbao wine is their Rioja.

Made from 100 percent Tempranillo.

For this wine, each parcel of grapes is picked separately. And each parcel is fermented separately. With temperature controls, punching down the caps of skins that form on the top of the vats, and individual timing, each parcel of grapes is made into the best wine it can be. Then, the parcels are blended before aging in oak barrels.

The wine is a cherry red color with intense aromas of ripe, red berries, bay leaf and minerals, even some cocoa, if you sniff hard enough. It tastes fresh in your mouth with red currants and strawberries coming first, followed by baking spices (barrel flavors) and vanilla. All with a long, lingering finish.

Yum! Besides Spanish foods such as a nice paella, this wine pairs well with seafood, poultry, charcuterie and cheese plates, olives, pasta with olive oil, and, my favorite, Machego cheese.

For only $12.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island, and that includes the wooden box. Enjoy.

Everyone has their favorite restaurants in Beaufort, and Fat Patties is one of mine.

I love it because the food is always excellent, the service is friendly and prompt, the restaurant has a good energy in that it’s lively — with big screen TVs and music — without being too loud, but just loud enough that it can drown out the sounds of crying children (which, as a mom to two little ones, I’ve found this is quite a bonus because you won’t be disrupting other diners). That being said, it’s also family friendly, but with a sizeable bar and a nice outside seating area, it caters to all crowds.

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

The most horrible day of the year, for dogs

By Tracie Korol

For many dogs, the first “Wheee!” of a rocket they hear sends them under the bed, quivering from nose to tail. A few dogs, the hunters and police dogs, have nerves of steel and don’t mind fireworks, but most turn into panting, trembling wrecks at the first loud bang. A dog’s hearing is 10 times more sensitive than a human’s, so logically fireworks cause pain. The anxiety and stress are bonus miseries.

If you’re thinking of taking your dog to watch the fireworks with you — think again! You and your dog will have much more enjoyable evenings if you leave. the. dog. at. home. Aside from the danger associated with your dog being in the wrong place at the wrong time (dogs and fire simply don’t mix), the mass hysteria, alcohol-increased speech volume, loud noises and repeated flashes of light are likely to have a traumatic effect on your Best Friend. He is not going to have a fun time trapped in a hot car, either (and remember, that’s against the law, anyway).

Leave him at home.

Best to leave him indoors where he is likely to do the least amount of harm to himself or your home, preferably a crate

if he’s already used to being in a crate. A crate draped with a sound-absorbing comforter would be especially considerate.

The evening of the Fourth of July is not the time to introduce crate training, however.

Imagine yourself being jammed in a stuffy confined box for the first time, AND THEN the aliens begin attacking the house. Not fun.

Flashing lights can scare your dog just as much as the loud noises. Close the curtains and blinds inside your home and turn ON all the lights in the room. This will make the bright lights from fireworks less noticeable to your dog. There’s also some small degree of soundproofing afforded by closed drapes, lowering the high-pitched sounds a tiny bit.

the island news | june 26 -july 2, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

New research posits that standard allopathic medicines prescribed for noise phobia can actually worsen fears because while they may immobilize the dog, they do not relieve anxiety. They can “scramble” a dog’s perception. The dog can be fully aware of the frightening stimulus (e.g. fireworks sounds) but be physically unable to move. Sounds cruel to me. Additionally, his senses may be heightened or confused by medication, upping his fear level and ultimately worsening his phobia. Studies show that sound sensitivity can broaden so poor pet can develop anxiety reactions to thunder, airplanes, truck engines or even the sound of a metal pan hitting the floor.

However, there are several natural remedies that will safely and

effectively offset noise phobias and hands-on techniques to reduce stress.

A ThunderShirt is a great purchase for your anxious pet, useful in all anxietyproducing situations — storms, hunting season, grabby toddlers and loud-mouthed relatives.

Theoretically, a rousing game of fetch or a very long walk earlier in the day may tire your dog so he may be less likely to overexert himself later if/when he becomes stressed from the sound of fireworks. I’ve found, though, that fear trumps fatigue most of the time. You can give it a try; it might work.

And most importantly, in this county with its high numbers of euthanizations, be sure your dog has over-adequate identification before the Fourth rolls around. Shelters nationwide always have an increase in lost dogs on the Fourth — dogs have been known to dig under fences, climb over fences, break through glass windows and doors, to bolt free. If he manages to escape his confinement, the worst thing would be, well, you know what the worst thing would be.

If you look at this holiday as your dog does, then you’ll do the right thing.

Sanford wins 1st Congressional seat Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was chosen by voters to fill the U.S. House of Representatives, District 1, seat in the special general election held Tuesday, May 7.

Unofficial results, with all five counties reporting, show the Republican Sanford at 54 percent

over his opponent Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch.

In Beaufort County, Sanford collected about 53 percent, with Colbert Busch at nearly 47 percent.

With all 80 precincts reporting, voter turnout was deemed high by election officials at 33 percent.

Sanford beat out 15 other

candidates in the primary to represent the Republican Party in his first return to politics since he resigned as governor in 2009. He previously served as the First Congressional District representative from 1995-2001.

Sanford grew up in Beaufort and his family still lives in the area.

mother's mammogram 3-D breast tomosynthesis, a powerful new FDA approved diagnostic tool for the early detection of breast cancer, is now available in our area ONLY at the Beaufort Memorial Women’s Imaging Center.

The new 3-D mammograms improve breast cancer detection and reduce the number of those unnerving false positives.

SHOULD YOU OPT FOR A 3-D MAMMOGRAM?

Tomosynthesis does not replace the traditional mammogram. But it is recommended for certain women, including those who: • Have dense breast tissue, because it can mask cancers or lead to false positives • Are considered high risk • Have been recommended for a diagnostic study • Are having a baseline mammogram

Schedule your annual mammogram today!

To make an appointment for a mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center or Bluffton Medical Services, call 843-522-5015. _______________________________________ Same day results available at both facilities. _______________________________________
