THE LEARNING CENTER FUND

may 1-7, 2014

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Program making great strides in a variety of locations

By Wendy Pollitzer

The Learning Center Fund is growing exponentially throughout the county, and its greatest reward is a collective assertion from parents, students, teachers and administrators that the program is working for a diverse population of students. In fact, The Learning Center Fund is now serving over 70 children; and, it’s just the beginning of, what could be, the greatest pendulum swing of scholastic success in Beaufort County.

All too often, children who possess an alternative to the verbal learning style get frustrated with mainstream teaching methods and abandon their will to learn.

Students become apathetic; but, it’s not their fault. They just learn differently than most. The misunderstanding begins when many people can’t figure out why an intelligent person can’t read at their expected level. The mistreating begins when students are simply encouraged to Former Executive Director of Penn Center, Walter Mack and Learning Center Coach, ‘try harder.’

Ruby Jackson and assistant, pose with students and teenage volunteers at Penn Center.

The Learning Center Fund offers students the chance to fully engage in a Club, St. Peter’s Catholic School, Penn School District to identify children in meaningful learning process, effectively Center, AMIkids, Saint John Paul II need of assistance.

Beaufort weighs city needs vs budget revenues Less money coming into the City of Beaufort coffers may mean less money being spent on things such as landscaping and maintaining parks, but the primary effort this spring will be to squeeze as much out of each dollar as possible, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson told City Council.

The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2015 is $167,557 less than the current year, which ends June 30. If adopted as presented, the FY2015 city budget would increase taxes on a Beaufort home valued at $150,000 and occupied by the owner would increase by about $32.

“We realized revenues in this budget year would not meet projections and we have held down spending where and when we could,” Dadson said.

“This shortfall is caused by lackluster collections and payments to us in almost every major revenue source, and until we see an improvement in our revenues we must hold our expenses in check.”

Dadson points to a continuing revenue problem from Beaufort County’s reassessment of real property and the county’s tax collection rate. Further, a decrease in business licenses collected at a state level on behalf of the city, as well as state changes to the business license Industry Rate classifications, has led to a substantial decrease in revenues for Beaufort’s current fiscal year that are projected to continue.

“As a city, we have made good progress and I think most of us agree that Beaufort is better than it was five years ago, despite the recession,” Dadson said. “We want to stay on the same path — but we realize that future budgets will be even harder to balance, leading to staffing and workload issues. We need to come together to

work for a long-term solution to increase revenues so we can maintain services.

“The future is now and we need to make critical decisions to retain the integrity and momentum of the goals and mission we have established for our city,” he told the council.

Key points of the FY15 Budget Proposal: Revenues: The effects of property reassessment and the decreased rate of property tax collections by Beaufort County result in the City of Beaufort anticipating a revenue shortfall from property taxes of approximately $345,000.

This reduction in revenues is estimated to continue into the foreseeable future due to the decreasing value of overall real property in the City of Beaufort. This is happening despite new growth and investment in the city since 2009 — the reassessment of property values wiped out those gains, Dadson said.

Expenditures: The total recommended expenditures for FY 15 are $167,557 less than the current year and $705,820 less in requested needs from city departments.

• There is no cost of living increase proposed in the new fiscal year.

• Dadson provided the City Council with each department’s budget request, but because of revenue shortfalls, he didn’t recommend those requests be filled.

“I support these requested departmental budget lines however, because of the uncertainty of revenues, have not recommended them to City Council in order to balance the budget.

I have recommended a net decrease of $430,950 in operational costs from what

was requested by the departments. This is a net decrease in the FY14 operational budget of $152,674.”

• The proposed budget includes funds for capital expenditures that are necessary for the continuing needs of the Public Safety and Public Services departments. Dadson recommends that the committed fund balance held in reserve from the proceeds on the sale of the old ladder truck of $281,590 be used along with securing lease-purchase financing to pay for the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Fire and Rescue Operations.

This capital transfer is $232,000 less than requested by the departments.

• Other major capital improvements continuing from FY2014 include stormwater runoff projects; design and construction of a new fire station in Mossy Oaks; and contingency funds for the Boundary Street changes being paid for by a U.S. Department of Transportation grant and local sales tax funds.

• The proposed Beaufort FY15 budget includes state and federal requirements such as higher workers’ compensation premiums, state retirement contributions, and federally-mandated health care fees.

Additional meetings are scheduled for further review of the proposed budget: • May 13: Fire, Courts and Public Works Department Budget Presentations • May 27: Public Hearing on Budget and First Reading by Council on the FY2015 Budget • June 10: Second Reading of the FY2015 Budget.

A 30-year-old Ridgeland man was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Wednesday, April 23, for shooting his brother-in-law on Lady’s Island in 2013.

At the conclusion of a three-day trial, jurors convicted Malcom Brabham of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime.

On July 15, 2013, Brabham and his brother-in-law, Chadwick Mitchell, were heading home from a bar when they got into an argument about how Brabham had been treating Mitchell’s sister.

“That injury not only could have killed him, but it changed his entire life,” said assistant solicitor Mary Jordan Lempesis, who prosecuted the case. “He is lucky to be here with us today.”

The victim, who works as a cook in Beaufort, told the court that the injury makes it difficult to use his right arm and hand. He will have a permanent disability as a result of the shooting.

Judge Roger Young handed down the sentence, of which Brabham must serve at least 85 percent before being eligible for release.

Tour guide to put up his walking shoes Jon Sharp, whose walking history tour through the city of Beaufort has earned top accolades from TripAdvisor.com and other tourism outlets, will retire May 17.

Sharp, a tall man with a mop of white hair is a familiar figure in Beaufort’s downtown area and Old Point neighborhood. He is often seen walking backwards while talking to an engaged group of visitors during the spring and fall tourist seasons.

Sharp is a former Los Angeles actor and television director who arrived in Beaufort following a mishap at sea during an around-the-world solo sailing trip in 1992.

He fell in love with the area and decided

to change his plans and make Beaufort his home. When first here, he worked as a scuba diver, roofer’s assistant and acting teacher. He also opened a little theatre, The Port Royal Playhouse, and directed

and acted in local productions here for several years.

“In 2005, I found yet another creative outlet as a tour guide. This enabled me to indulge in a life-long passion for history and give back to my adopted little hometown, which has been so very kind and generous to me right from the day I landed here, in the parking lot of Beaufort Memorial Hospital, in a Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter, February 18, 1992,” Sharp said.

Those who wish to sign up for one of Sharp’s final walking history tours should call 843-575-5775 for reservations.

Wells Fargo supports YMCA’s summer learning Wells Fargo recently donated $2,500 toward the Beaufort County YMCA’s Summer 2014 Learning Loss Prevention Program. This is the second time the company has supported this specific YMCA program, which is geared toward addressing gaps in academic achievement among the area’s most disadvantaged youth.

“We believe helping a child learn and love to read is the best way we can improve that

child’s chance of success in school and in life,” said William Achurch, Beaufort market president for Wells Fargo. “We are proud to partner with the YMCA.” The Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program is modeled after a literacy program designed for children in first through third grade who are currently reading below grade level. Results from last summer’s pilot program in Beaufort indicated that

students attending gained 5.5 months in reading growth from pre to post-test assessment.

“We are excited that a company like Wells Fargo understands the importance of offering programs like this,” stated Beaufort County YMCA CEO Michael Bostwick.

The Wardle Family YMCA is located at 1801 Richmond Ave., Port Royal.

allendale county bank to become palmetto state bank Allendale County Bank of Fairfax, South Carolina, was closed Friday, April 25, by the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions, which appoints the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Palmetto State Bank based in Hampton, S.C., to assume all of the deposits of Allendale County Bank.

The five branches of Allendale County Bank will reopen as branches of Palmetto State Bank during their normal business hours. Depositors of Allendale County Bank will automatically become depositors of Palmetto State Bank. Customers of Allendale County Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Palmetto State Bank that it has completed systems changes to allow other Palmetto State Bank branches to process their accounts as well.

As of December 31, 2013, Allendale County Bank had approximately $54.5 million in total assets and $51 million in total deposits. In addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Palmetto State Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

Customers with questions about transactions should call the FDIC toll free at 1-800-894-1696.

Go for the f low!

By Ifetayo White

Let’s just lay it on the line: Flow is the secret ingredient to healing what keeps us from the full experience of joy, of freedom! Remember the feeling of freedom that we had as children — moving fluidly, easily, flexibly, full of energy and vitality? This is the flow of freedom from constriction, holding, resistance, tension and pain. This is the energy of joy.

Take a moment to feel in your body where there is tightness, hardness, sensitivity, pain, numbness, spasm or immobility. Check out your shoulders, upper back, middle back, lower back, neck, head, face, chest, heart, upper arms, hands, lower belly, stomach, buttocks, hips, legs, and feet. What can you sense?

Are there spots where you can feel any of the sensations mentioned above?

What awareness do you have of feelings or thoughts or beliefs that you are holding onto or can’t let go of? What experiences of loss, of disappointment, of betrayal, of abuse, of trauma, of fear are you recalling? These are also energies of constriction, resistance, tension. No flow. Less freedom. Less joy.

We have learned so much in the past several decades about the relationship that our feelings, thoughts, and past experiences have with our bodies. We have learned that when there is a release

of energy on either the emotional, mental or physical level — stuck feelings, beliefs, rigid muscles, inflexible joints — there is a corresponding release on the other levels. More freedom, more flow, more joy is experienced throughout our beings.

OK, I would like to make something clear right here. There is a difference between someone or something making us feel good, and our creating the permanent channels of joy within ourselves by opening to more flow. A release or a letting-go has to take place for energy to flow where it had been restricted before. We begin this process by becoming aware of and feeling the constriction, pain or inflexibility in our body or emotions or thoughts.

The next step is to make a choice to

let this painful or limited experience go.

Then, we need to learn: what can I do right now to change this condition or what support do I need to accomplish this?

Creating more flow in our bodies, minds, emotions can be as simple as taking as many breaths into the restricted space as needed in order to create more energy of openness and flow there.

Sometimes slow rhythmic movement to music or wild, passionate dancing will provide an initiation of release and create more flow within. Slow rhythmic walking, yoga, qi qong, tai chi, bouncing on a rebounder or exercise ball, applying heat are other remedies for constricted flow. Spending time in nature is always healing.

Oftentimes we will need to find someone who can provide us with the support we need to release what is blocking our freedom, our flow, and our joy, to unblock the stuck places,

Remember the feeling of freedom that we had as children — moving fluidly, easily, flexibly, full of energy and vitality? This is the energy of joy. to help the knots unwind, to let the tears flow. There are many experienced and compassionate practitioners and therapists in Beaufort who can share “their way.” Hands-on therapies, energy work, movement, change and empowerment coaching and therapies, are a few of the tools available to create release and the creation of more flow in the body, mind, emotions.

Go for the flow and enJOY more freedom, more living.

Protect your eyes from the sun

By Mark Siegel

As you rub on sunscreen to protect your skin this summer, don’t forget to protect your eyes as well. Summertime means more time spent outdoors, and studies show that exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of developing cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and growths on the eye, including cancer.

May is UV (ultraviolet light) Safety Awareness Month and Sea Island Ophthalmology wants to remind everyone of the importance of protecting our eyes from the sun’s harmful rays by wearing proper protection. It also wants to remind the public of the importance of protecting eyes from indoor UV light when using tanning beds.

UV radiation, whether from natural sunlight or indoor artificial rays, can damage the eye’s surface tissues as well as the cornea and lens. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the dangers UV light can pose. By wearing UV blocking sunglasses, you can enjoy the summer safely while lowering your risk

for potentially blinding eye diseases and tumors. It is important to start wearing proper eye protection at an early age to protect the eyes from years of ultraviolet exposure.

Our eyes are at risk from the sun yearround. However, the longer the exposure to bright light as happens frequently during the summer, the greater the risk is.

Excessive exposure to UV light reflected off sand, water or pavement can damage the eyes’ front surface. In addition to cataracts and AMD, sun exposure can lead to lesions and tumors that may be cosmetically unappealing and require surgical removal. Pinguecula, tiny yellow bumps on the eye, are common from too much UV exposure. They begin on the white part of the eye and may eventually

disrupt your vision.

Damage to the eyes from UV light is not limited to the outdoors; it is also a concern with indoor tanning beds. Tanning beds can produce UV levels up to 100 times what you would get from the sun, which can cause very serious damage to the external and internal structures of the eye and eyelids. Corneal burns, cataracts, and, in rare instances, retinal damage can occur.

It is critical that you wear the properly designed goggles for use in tanning booths.

Follow these tips to protect your eyes from the sun: Don’t focus on color or darkness of sunglass lenses: Select sunglasses that block UV rays. The ability to block UV light is not dependent on the price tag or how dark the sunglass lenses are.

Check for 100 percent UV protection: Make sure your sunglasses block 100 percent of UV-A rays and UV-B rays.

Choose wrap-around styles: Ideally, your sunglasses should wrap all the way around to your temples, so the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side.

Wear a hat: In addition to your sunglasses, wear a broad-brimmed hat to protect your eyes.

Don’t rely on contact lenses: Even if you wear contact lenses with UV protection, remember your sunglasses.

Don’t be fooled by clouds: The sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Sun damage to eyes can occur anytime during the year.

Protect your eyes during peak sun times: Sunglasses should be worn whenever outside, and it’s especially important to wear sunglasses in the early afternoon and at higher altitudes.

Never look directly at the sun: Looking directly at the sun at any time, including during an eclipse, can lead to solar retinopathy, damage to the eye’s retina from solar radiation.

Don’t forget the kids: Everyone is at risk, including children. Protect their eyes with hats and sunglasses. In addition, try to keep children out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun’s UV rays are the strongest.

Dr. Claude Tolbert Jr. joins new OB/GYN practice He may be the newest member of Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists, but Dr. Claude Tolbert Jr. is no stranger to the Beaufort community. The board-certified OBGYN has been delivering babies in the Lowcountry for nearly 14 years.

The outgoing chief of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health, Tolbert is the fourth physician to join the new BMH practice located in Suite 210 of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road.

Dr. Berniece Redmond, a North Carolina physician with 17 years of experience, began seeing patients Feb. 1.

Drs. Christopher Benson and Gregory Miller, longtime partners in a Rock Hill practice, came on board April 1.

All four OB-GYNs are board-certified and will be delivering babies exclusively at the Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. The physicians also will begin seeing patients at Beaufort Memorial Bluffton Medical Services in Westbury Park later this spring.

Among Tolbert’s professional interests are general obstetrics, diabetes in pregnancy, infertility management and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries.

A native of Greenwood, S.C., he graduated summa cum laude from

Virginia’s Hampton University and went on to earn his medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn. He moved to Beaufort in the summer of 2000 after completing his medical training at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, where he was named Gynecology Resident of the Year.

Tolbert worked for four years at the Beaufort Jasper clinic before opening his own practice with his wife, OB-GYN Dr. Ardra-Davis Tolbert. In 2009, he returned to Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health to become head of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The couple has two children, 14-yearold Collin Elizabeth and 10-year-old Braxton Myles..

“I try not to be on call the same nights as my wife,” Tolbert said. “My mother lives with us, so that’s a help, too.”

Even with careful planning and an extra adult in the house, keeping up with their busy work schedules and the children’s extracurricular activities is no easy feat. Collin Elizabeth models in Charleston and Braxton Myles plays basketball.

“The weekdays are consumed by homework, modeling auditions and ball games,” Tolbert said. “On the weekends, we try to relax and do something

together.”

One of their favorite activities is cycling on Cat Island where they have lived for seven years.

“It’s a beautiful community for biking,” Tolbert said. “We love riding through the golf course after hours.”

The family also enjoys making day trips to Savannah, Jacksonville, Charleston and Hilton Head Island, as well as traveling out of state. They

have been to New York City more than once to visit the American Museum of Natural History and to see Broadway plays, including the musical, “The Lion King.”

Other vacations have taken them to Paris, France; Germany; Vancouver Island, British Columbia; and Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts.

Closer to home, Tolbert and his family love spending time at the beach. They’re also avid movie buffs.

“We try to find movies that are entertaining, but educational as well,” Tolbert said. “We want to expose our children to as much art, history and culture as we can.”

That’s not to say he can’t be convinced on occasion to go to an action flick or computer-animated film with his son.

The two recently watched “The Lego Movie.”

“I stayed up for that one,” Tolbert said of the 2014 release. “If I don’t like the movie, I take the opportunity to sleep.”

Expectant mothers and other women who are interested in becoming patients of the practice can schedule 15-minute one-on-one “meet and greet” appointments with any of the physicians at the new Beaufort Memorial practice.

There is no charge for the introductory appointments. Call 843-522-7820 for information or to schedule a meeting.

The Point Neighborhood holds Picnic on the Green

By Lanier Laney

The Point Neighborhood Association held its annual Picnic on the Green last Saturday, April 26. Residents of this beautiful historic neighborhood gathered on a lovely spring afternoon to enjoy a variety of delicious potluck dishes, and to have the opportunity to meet new neighbors. Thanks to Mike and Pat Whitehead, along with Conway Ivy and Merritt Chase, for organizing this wonderful event. Here are some pics for you:

Bumper to bumper traffic on Carteret Street can cause chaos downtown Is bumper to bumper traffic on Carteret Street ruining the quaint Beaufort experience? A lot of people have strong opinions about this issue. The non-stop traffic after 3 p.m. each afternoon on Carteret Street all the way from Bay Street to Bellamy Curve — whether the Richard V. Woods swing bridge is open or closed — is one of the most vexing examples. Can’t someone direct Lady’s Island commuter traffic to the new bridge? The continuous stream of cars cruising down Carteret makes it hard for pedestrians to cross. The traffic also forms a barrier between the historic Point neighborhood and the rest of downtown Beaufort, almost cutting it off from the city.

Annual Relay for Life raises money to fight cancer The community was out in full force last weekend supporting and participating in Relay for Life of Beaufort, the American Cancer Society’s nationwide event that raises money to fight cancer and to find a cure. This year’s event was held at Beaufort High School track and football field from noon to midnight on Saturday, April 26. Co-chairs Christy Cerny and Beth Woodring were enthusiastic about the teams and volunteers who had worked so hard to make this year’s Relay for Life a success. The 12-hour event was filled with activities including local dance performances, music by DJ Wes, a Mr. Relay competition, and the always powerful luminary ceremony. During the ceremony, which happens after nightfall, luminary bags — that have been purchased and decorated in honor of those who have been affected by cancer — lining the track are lit with candles and the soft glow serves as a solemn reminder to those walking the track of the impact cancer has on the lives of so many loved ones. This year’s Relay also saw the first Kidswalk — an idea created by bright and talented students from Beaufort High School to ensure all ages are included in the event. The teenagers created 90 minutes of fun-filled laps — with a superhero theme and a T-shirt designed by Beaufort High student Maria Carrera that says “Put the KA-POW to Cancer!” — so that every child at Relay would have a better understanding of what Relay is, why it’s so important and the awesome impact this event can have on a community. For more information about Relay For Life, visit www.relayforlife.org or call 800-227-2345. Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

FRIENDS OF CAROLINE HOSPICE HIRES NEW DIRECTOR OF CLINICAL OPERATIONS

By Lanier Laney Lindsay Roberg, BSN, RN, was recently hired as the new director of clinical operations for Friends of Caroline Hospice, a local nonprofit that provides quality care and support for those living with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

Lindsay oversees the daily operations of the clinical staff at Friends of Caroline Hospice and is a part of the clinical team. Her job consists of hiring, scheduling, education and coordinating care to ensure the best patient and family holistic care possible.

“My job is full of puzzles and everyday is different!” she said. “I love it because it allows problem solving that positively impacts people’s lives. I always say I love the difference that Friends of Caroline Hospice can make in an hour. It’s amazing.”

Lindsay, who was born in Carbondale, Illinois, in southern Illinois, said she was raised all over the U.S. as a military brat.

“My family moved every three years so I’ve lived in all types of places including Fargo, North Dakota, and Yuma, Arizona. I’ve spent the majority of my life in Beaufort though — I guess I can officially call myself a local? I’ve been here 19 years.”

She “discovered” Beaufort because her father was stationed here twice. After he retired from the Marine Corps after 20 years, the family settled here.

Lindsay met her husband, Jim Spratling, at the Habersham Farmers Market. He was running a French bistro

“We are able to help people at a time in life that is very important for the human experience.”

Friends of Caroline Hospice’s Director of Clinical Operations Lindsay Roberg about the role of nurses in the field of hospice care

Lindsay Roberg is the director of clinical operations for Friends of Caroline Hospice.

there and Lindsay and her mom were selling goat milk soap at the market.

They have been very happily married for four years.

Jim, formerly a chef at Saltus, has been working at the Callawassee Island Club as the executive chef for the past two years.

Lindsay is very proud of the children of her blended family: her daughter, Madisen, 8, attends Riverview Charter School, while her stepson Jaxon, 14, attends Beaufort Middle School, and Miles, 10, attends Bridges Preparatory School.

Her favorite thing about Beaufort is being outdoors — whether it’s boating, fishing, kayaking or scuba diving. “There is always someway to enjoy the beauty of where we live,” she said.

When it comes to her job, Lindsay said she has always known she wanted to work in the medical field. “My road has been a long tangled one that I believe

led me to this career for my purpose,” she says. “After working for South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for 10 years as a biologist, I bit the bullet and went back to school for nursing. I couldn’t be happier about my choice. It was difficult, but so worth it.”

Lindsay describes the critical role that nurses play when it comes to hospice care: “Nurses have the ability to connect with mankind on a very personal level, one that is both the beginning and end of life. The impact that a nurse can have on this journey is one that was intriguing to me. Hospice care is a field of nursing that is misunderstood and continues to carry stigmas. It is important for nurses to advocate for hospice care in end-oflife. The support that a patient and their support system can experience can change the dynamics of end-of-life care.

Once I had the experience of hospice, I knew it was the field for me. We are able to help people at a time in life that is very important for the human experience.”

She said she hopes to change people’s misconceptions about hospice care.

“Generally when people think of hospice care, they immediately think of the bad.

There are a lot of good, happy moments in hospice. It is very rewarding.”

Her dedication toward her chosen

career and her work ethic she learned from her family. Lindsay says, “My parents always taught me that our most important work is to have a purpose.

Whether it is something you are drawn to or a purpose you create, put 110 percent into whatever you are doing.

My dad always said ‘you may not be able to change the world, but you can change your corner.’ That is my mission.

I want to educate this community about hospice care and the importance of taking care of one another.”

Friends of Caroline Hospice started out as a group of individuals who saw a need for hospice care in Beaufort and wanted to make a difference in the community, and 33 years later the organization continues to full fill that mission. Says Lindsay, “People helping people — that’s what it’s all about.”

YMCA to host annual Beaufort River Swim The Wardle Family YMCA’s 8th Annual Beaufort River Swim will be held Saturday, May 31, beginning at 8 a.m.

The event is a three-mile open water swim beginning at the Port Royal Landing Marina and finishing at the boat ramp at the corner of the Downtown Marina, adjacent to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.

The cost to participate is $40 and all proceeds directly benefit the Y’s LearnTo-Swim programs. Inquiries may be sent to aquaticsymca@hotmail.com.

Online registration is available at active. com or www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com or www.beaufortriverswim.com.

The River Swim is a Lowcountry tradition, with participants of all ages and levels: tri-athletes, recreational lap swimmers and competitive age group swimmers.

YMCA Senior Program Director Rick Simonds hopes to continually increase the success of this event.

“The popularity of The River Swim grows each year and plays an integral role

CATCH OF THE WEEK

in helping people in our community learn to swim. It is vital for children and adults alike to have this life-saving skill. We love having Olympians like Carlton Bruner and master swimmers like Pete Palmer participate in this event each year.”

In 2013, the Y was able to generate over $5,400 in scholarship funds through the successful River Swim event, impacting the lives of over 120 children who were able to partake in last summer’s Learn-toSwim summer program. In 2013, more than 1,400 swim lessons were taught.

Church continues organ concert series Dr. Stephen Hamilton of New York will present the fourth in a series of Friday organ concerts at noon on Friday, May 2 at the Parish Church of St. Helena, 505 Church St. in downtown Beaufort.

Stephen Hamilton, virtuoso concert organist, has long been prominent on the American organ scene. The New York Times wrote of Hamilton’s performance of the Bach Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor: “Hamilton, as organist at the Church of the Holy Trinity (Episcopal) obviously knew the instrument’s sonorous capabilities and brought them powerfully to bear in a rousing account.”

The Charleston Daily Mail reviewed: “This performance had to be one of the supreme moments of music- making in this year’s or any other year’s Orgelfest offerings.”

Highlights of Hamilton’s career include the premiere performance of Kenton Coe’s Concerto for Organ, Strings and Percussion with the Festival

the island news | may 1-7, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

of Comminges Orchestra, JeanPierre Marty conducting, in France; and a performance of the Enrico Bossi Organ Concerto with the Stephen Hamilton Detroit Symphony, David Zinman conducting. He frequently appears with regional orchestras playing concertos of Handel, Albinoni, Hindemith, Piston, Copland, Rheinberger, and Poulenc; and recently appeared with the Austin (Texas) Symphony orchestra, Peter Bay conducting, performing the Barber Toccata Festival.

Dr. Hamilton will perform on the church’s historic Taylor & Boody organ as the fourth guest organist in this year’s series.

Concerts are free and open to the public. The remaining concert in the 2014 series will be presented May 9

by Kevin Edens of Furman University.

The Featured Young Organist for this year, Edens is a student of Dr. Charles Tompkins, who performed April 4.

The Taylor & Boody organ at St. Helena’s is modern (installed in the church in 1985), yet reminiscent of the organ-building practices used during the “golden age” of organ building and organ music, reached in Europe between 1600 and 1750. The twomanual organ has 19 stops and more than 1,150 pipes housed in a beautifully crafted oak case.

The annual concert series is funded by private donations from parishioners and music lovers all over the Lowcountry.

To become a Friend of Music at St. Helena’s, send your tax-deductible gift to: Music at St. Helena’s The Parish Church of St. Helena, P.O. Box 1043, Beaufort, SC 29901.

A medley of music styles at ARTworks this weekend ARTworks kicks of a weekend full of music on Friday night with a concert by singer/songwriter Rebecca Folsom. A relative of Davis and Kathy Folsom of Beaufort, Rebecca tours all over the U.S. but is sure to make at least an annual stop in Beaufort, where she frequently performs to sold out crowds.

Ms. Folsom has been described as a performer who is capable of taking audiences on a musical journey“from subtle ballads to knock-you-to-your-knees blues”.

(KUNC Radio) A singer, songwriter, poet and painter, Rebecca’s work focuses on the themes of human heartbreak, redemption, freedom and hope. Possessing a nearly 4 octave range, in some songs her voice evokes “a cross between Joni Mitchell’s lush soul searching folk jazz and the Cranberries mystic pop” (Daily Camera).

In other songs, her vocal power and raw emotion draw comparisons to Janis Joplin.

Rebecca’s music has been in the top 40

Musician Rebecca Folsom

on Roots/Americana and College radio programming. She has performed at such diverse venues as BBC Radio and TV studios in Northern Ireland, Opryland in

Nashville, and the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival.

Although her music career has clearly taken her far, Rebecca says that her Beaufort shows are some of her favorite because “having family here and seeing some of the same faces every year makes [performing] a more personal experience.”

Rebecca Folsom performs at ARTworks on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m.

As the comedians of Monty Python would say, “and now for something completely different…” In fact, about the only thing missing from Another Roadside Attraction’s zany shows are a comedy troupe. Performing as a husband and wife duo during their stop in Beaufort (they also perform as a multi-piece ensemble), Jordan Rivers and Lucy di los Rios play just about everything except the kitchen sink — but don’t be surprised if parts of that sink get put to musical use. Never at a loss for creativity and inspiration,

the performers utilize an assortment of acoustic instruments for their shows, including the guitarron (mariachi bass guitar), ukuleles, kazoos, a musical saw, and many quirky homemade instruments.

Another Roadside Attraction’s raucous sound and showmanship will draw audiences into a fantasy world which is best described as Tim Burton meets a Coney Island Side Show, meets a traveling carnival, with a dash of cabaret thrown in.

The total effect is beautiful, bizarre and sometimes eerie, but always full of cheeky humor. Another Roadside Attraction perform a matinee show on Sunday, May 4 at 3 p.m.

Tickets for both shows are $17, with military and group discounts available.

The shows will take place at the ARTworks space in Beaufort Town Center and tickets may be purchased online at www. beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling the ARTworks box office at 843-379-2787.

Send your photos of women who served in Vietnam A production of “A Piece of My Heart,” a play based on the real experiences of women who served in Vietnam, will show at USCB May 15-25.

For a slide show before the play starts, the director,Gail Westerfield, is searching for photos of women who served during the Vietnam war: incountry, Stateside, and elsewhere overseas, in any capacity: military, USO, Red Cross, etc. They can be from anywhere in the world, and they can be photos of the actual submitter, or sent by a child, sibling, friend, or spouse. Please email before May 12 to e.gail.w@gmail.com. All photos must be scanned at least 300 dpi to enlarge well for the screen. Those who prefer not to scan them themselves can take them to the USCB box office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or mail them with a self-addressed envelope to USCB CFA, 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC 29902, and they will be returned promptly and in excellent condition.

Plans are underway for the 3rd annual CBC National Bank High On The Hog BBQ Festival to benefit LowCountry Habitat for Humanity. The festival is the organization’s signature fundraising event and helps to generate muchneeded funds for their housing program.

This year, LowCountry Habitat for Humanity plans to build three houses in northern Beaufort County.

Habitat Board member and BBQ Committee Chair, Bob Albon, heads up the effort and is excited about this year’s event. “We had been told ‘Beaufort is not a BBQ town,’” stated Albon. “But, from the first year, we learned otherwise.

And, we continue to grow each year — more food, bigger entertainment and lots of fun.”

The festival will be held the first weekend in June at the old Whitehall Plantation on Lady’s Island.

Friday, June 6, from 6 to 10 p.m., will be “Everything Lowcountry” where teams cook their favorite dishes in the Lowcountry theme. Local high schools will be competing in a school challenge, serving samples of butts in a fundraiser for their Booster Clubs. The local band Deas Guys will take the stage at 7:30 p.m.; 94.5 The Surf will broadcast live that night. Wristbands are $20, active military, $18.

There will also be a VIP tent Friday

night, sponsored by The Island News.

Tickets are $50 per person and include seating under the tent, unlimited samples while they last, two drink tickets per person and a Lowcountry dessert. Tables of ten available for $450.

Habitat Executive Director Brenda Dooley is grateful to the Beaufort community for their support in this endeavor. “We’re so grateful for the support of CBC National Bank, CenturyLink, Sea Eagle Market, and all our sponsors, as well as this community that comes out to enjoy this great event that helps us build houses and hope,” she said.

Saturday, June 7, is the barbecue competition. Butts and ribs are cooked starting Friday night, and the South Carolina BBQ Association certified judges will start Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Gates open to the public 12 until 4 p.m. Broke Locals will entertain.

Wristband price is $15, active military

$14, kids under 12 free. Two-day ticket price is $30, active military $27.

According to Bob Albon, “We have purchased more than 3,000 pounds of butts and over 350 pounds of rubs for this year’s event. We expect 30 of the top competitive barbecue teams in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia to compete. At our original High on the Hog event, we only had 14 teams and sold out within an hour of opening doors. The message here is there will be plenty of food for samples.”

The Hog Wild Zone for the kids will be staffed by the Beaufort County YMCA and will include face painting, clowns, balloons, watermelon eating contest, multiple bounce houses, all free.

Pre-orders for fully cooked butts (8-10 pounds, pre-cooked weight) are available for $32 through June 3. The butts are cooked by five time 2013 winner Palmetto Smokehouse, ranked #2 in the state overall for 2013. You can also order pre-cooked BBQ chicken prepared by barbecue aficionado Island Meat Markets’ Julian Johnson for $20.

The orders can be picked up at the festival.

Lunch and Learn summer gardening series returns

Learning

That great summer gardening series, Lunch and Learn, begins Saturday, May 10 in the gazebo at the Port Royal Farmers Market in Naval Heritage Park, and continues each Saturday until September 13. This award-winning series of classes, workshops and lectures is free to the public and no registration is required.

The 2014 series will ably be kicked off by noted local landscape designer, J. Weidner, who will show how to have a beautiful garden every season of the year.

Master Gardeners and other professionals share their skills and knowledge to help the Lowcountry gardener meet the challenges of this hot and humid climate. Door prizes are abundant, and chances are good that you’ll go home with a unique plant grown right here in Beaufort County.

Stop at the farmers market for a delicious lunch, and bring it and a folding chair to the gazeebo at noon, and share a little Lunching and Learning with people who love gardening as much as you do.

The Master Gardeners will also hold a Plant Clinic at the gazebo during the hour before Lunch and Learn. They will answer questions, and identify plants, pests and diseases. The Plant Clinic and Lunch and Learn are brought to you by the volunteers of the Lowcountry Master Gardener Association.

The Learning Center Fund, Inc. is a specific fund established through the Coastal Community Foundation. The fund was established by its board in order to distribute grants to Beaufort County nonprofit organizations working directly with area students.

The ultimate goal of TLC is to make resources available to children who learn differently so that they can embrace education with enthusiasm and confidence both in and beyond the classroom.

To understand students who learn differently is to understand educational research and the practice of knowing the whole child as a learner.

Research and understanding dictates the need to individualize student learning, wherein educators recognize and build upon a student’s strengths while simultaneously providing remediation and support for areas of weakness. Based on this knowledge and best practice, The Learning Center recognizes that basically all children can be identified as learning differently-that is what makes each student an individual.

The CCF granted funding to each program mentioned above, which were approved by The Learning Center Fund Board, consisting of Malcolm Goodridge, Founder, Charles Kresch, past President of the Beaufort County Board of Education and David House, Board member of Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Each program qualifies based on specific programming offered at each school. For example, Bridges Preparatory School employs a full time Learning Coach, who develops specific qualifying criteria and procedures for their schoolbased intervention and advancement team.

Joe Benning, Principal at St. Peter’s Catholic School agrees, “We’ve already helped 20 kids here at the school. Our teachers, Mrs. Kessel and Mrs. Pesavento, have done a great job.”

These teachers are seeing improvements as well. And the bottom line — test scores.

“The students have made great gains in their reading ability. I can see positive results from 100 percent of the participating students in each of three standardized tests that have been administered this year,” explains Mrs. Kessel.

Ruby Jackson, The Learning Center Coach at Penn Center, echoes these remarks, “We did a survey of students and asked if they are doing better at school. 100% of them said yes. I can see differences, not only academically, but in their attitudes as well. The extra attention is helping their self-esteem, which is necessary for future success.”

Walter Mack, former Executive Director of Penn Center, adds, “It’s a blessing The Learning Center is available in this rural area. These kids had nowhere else to go before.

Now they have a place to get the attention they need to succeed.”

In support of marina parking lot redevelopment

By Jon Verity

It is reasonable that citizens ask the city to explain why it is focused on redevelopment of the marina parking lot. Beaufort City Council directed the Redevelopment Commission to pursue the project in 2011 when they approved Sector 1 of the Civic Master Plan.

There have been many public meetings, documents and press releases about the project since then.

Focusing on downtown, the city spends about $600,000 more per year providing services than it collects in revenue. Public safety services alone cost more than $900,000 per year.

The Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park is particularly expensive. It is built above the water on a concrete structure.

Every cave-in you see in the park costs about $15,000 to repair. This year, the city will spend about $48,000 per acre on the 13-acre park in operating and

debt service costs. A few years ago, the city spent $8 million in repairs and upgrades to the waterfront.

This financial situation would be manageable if we had stronger demographics and a healthier business climate. Parris Island graduations and bus tour visitors basically keep the lights on for the majority of businesses.

Downtown businesses have had to focus on the winter season tourists to survive.

Most downtown businesses do all right from October to May, struggle through the summer, and hope they end the year with a small profit.

Rents downtown range from about $5-14 per square foot, which is barely adequate for many building owners to maintain their properties.

Beaufort’s residents can’t do much to help: • Beaufort’s population dropped 4.5 percent from 2000 to 2010 and is still

not back to the 2000 level of 12,956.

• Our per capita income dropped 38 percent between 2007 and now, and unemployment has risen to about 8 percent.

• As much as 20 percent of the properties downtown west of Charles Street to Bladen Street are now either abandoned or vacant, providing minimal tax revenue and no customers for merchants.

The solution we are pursuing at the marina is to bring more people into the core of the city as residents and multiday tourists. We need to manage this transition without harming those who have invested in downtown or damaging the way of life that makes Beaufort special.

The Redevelopment Commission believes that in The Furman Company, Chaffin and Light and their planners, Design Workshop, we have found

partners who can accomplish these goals while honoring Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark designation, architectural heritage and special sense of place.

Ultimately, the city may choose a more park-like setting than has been suggested in the Civic Master Plan, but the real issue here is how to get the city of Beaufort on a more sustainable economic path. We need more people living in the downtown area and more multi-day visitors to accomplish that goal. We would welcome more discussion about how to achieve that objective.

There is a lot of energy about this topic — let’s work to channel that energy into a positive outcome for us all, for both the short-term and long-term future of Beaufort.

Jon Verity is the chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission.

African peacemaker coming to Beaufort to tell his story

By Mike Seymour

As a young boy growing up in Africa, Prosper Ndabishuriye had the good fortune of coming to the attention of missionaries in Burundi who saw to his seminary education.

Prosper took his training and become the Burundian National Director for Campus Crusade for Christ, with a mission to bring the gospel to students on high school and college campuses worldwide.

His peacemaking ministry began during the height of the terrible ethnic wars between Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups that broke out in 199394 in Burundi, Rwanda and Eastern Congo. He mobilized multi-ethnic teams of high school and collegeage students to work together and go into villages where homes had been destroyed and people had fled in fear for their lives. Many had run away to Tanzania and were living in

displacement camps. There were an inordinate number of widows and orphans who, eventually, would become make-shift families out of necessity.

His army of young men and women became Youth in Reconstruction of the World in Destruction. The focus is helping the ethnic groups to reconcile and make peace through rebuilding homes together. There is encouragement to bring widows and orphans together, the running of an orphanage for boys and girls in a northern province of Burundi, and support for micro-finance projects

MARYLAND FRIED CHICKEN

By Pamela Brownstein

For the past 45 years, Maryland Fried Chicken has been attracting customers along Ribaut Road with its giant, retro chicken sign, and also the amazing smell of fried cookin’ that can even be detected by passing motorists.

This family owned restaurant was bustling on a Friday afternoon when the Lunch Bunch dropped by for some Southern comfort food. The friendly, efficient employees behind the counter were busy with to-go orders, dine in customers, and the drive-in window.

Nikki had a plate full of fried okra, mac n’ cheese bites, hush puppies and fried oysters. I usually prefer my oysters roasted, but these fried oysters are so yummy and warm with a salty crunch.

The mac n’ cheese bites are basically fried balls of homemade mac n’ cheese.

While maybe not the most healthy item, these bites are worth the calorie splurge.

Irene tried the fried shrimp with mac n’ cheese bites, and she said the shrimp were really good. Kim’s plate was simple with one big piece of fried chicken and a lot of fried okra around it.

Nikki’s son Dalton also joined our little group. He ordered the Pork Chop dinner with a side of baked beans, and he ate the whole thing.

Clockwise from above: A plate filled with fried oysters, fried okra, hush puppies, and mac n’ cheese bites; The pork chop dinner with baked beans; Crispy and juicy pieces of fried chicken with tri-taters and a roll.

I had to have The Island News Special, newly created as a thank you to readers and customers for once again voting Maryland Fried Chicken as Favorite Fried Chicken in The Island News 2014 Favorites awards. The special includes two pieces of chicken, one side, one roll and one small drink — a meal that can satisfy any local hungry for quality

community journalism. I chose tritaters — which are awesome hashbrown patties in the shape of triangles — as my side, along with sweet tea as my drink.

The menu is loaded with more meat and seafood options, and there are different specials for each day of the week. As their motto suggests, “The difference is delicious.”

Maryland Fried Chicken is located at 111 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, near the intersection of Ribaut Road and Boundary Street. It is open seven days a week: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call 843-524-8766 for take-out orders or to ask about specials.

More, more, more of Mas Sorrer Montsant

By Celia Strong

It’s always nice when you can understand the name of a wine. And, luckily, most of us drink enough New World wines with names that make sense. But, Old World wines from Europe are named for where they come from, how ripe the grapes are at harvest, what the grapes are, sometimes, and all kinds of other stuff. Sometimes we get the names and sometimes we don’t, or can’t. I think that’s the case with this week’s wine. And even if we don’t know what the name means, it’s still easy to say, and it’s a great wine that’s easy to drink. So all is not lost as we journey to Spain for our wine this week.

Spain has almost 3 million acres of vineyards. That makes it the third largest in the wine world, behind France and then Italy. This country has an abundance of native grape varieties, about 400 or so.

But, 80 percent of their wines are made from just 20 varieties. The main ones are Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell, for red wines, and Albariño, Palomino, Airen and Macabeo for white wines.

With all these native grapes, it’s no surprise that grape growing and winemaking has a very long history in Spain. Archeologists think that grapes might have been grown there as long ago as 4,000 BC. During the days of the Roman Empire, Spanish wines were traded and exported throughout the Empire. Actually, more Spanish wine than Roman wine made its way into Gaul, now France. The quality of it all, though, was not consistent.

After the Roman Empire fell, Spain and its wines went through assorted invasions, including the Moors who were Muslim, colonizing parts of the New World, starting with their sponsorship of Columbus, the defeat of the great Spanish Armada by England’s Queen Elizabeth I, economic lows, brought on by too much spending by their rulers, the phylloxera infestation of their vineyards, just like the rest of Europe, in the second half of the 19th century and the worldwide wine boom at the end of the 20th century.

Spain passed its first wine laws — the “Denominación de Origen” (DO) — in 1932. One of the wine growing regions was Catalonia. This is a fairly important region in Spain because “Cava,” their

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

The main style of Montsant wines is powerful red with velvety textures, just like our wine of the week, the 2010 Mas Sorrer Montsant, made in the Catalonia region of Spain. The proprietors of the winery are Sara Perez and Rene Barbier, Jr., husband and wife. sparkling wine, was invented there in the early 1870s, and “Priorat,” one of their two Mas Sorrer Montsant is made in Spain. elevated DOQ wines, comes from there.

Also, Catalonia was the leader at the turn of the 20th century because it was the for the mountains in its area (it actually first to adopt stainless steel fermentation means “holy mountain”) and it has a little tanks. And, Catalonia produces a large over 5,000 acres of vineyards, with more quantity of corks. This region is located coming all the time. The Montsant DO in the very northeastern corner of Spain actually surrounds the better DOQ of and Barcelona is its capitol city. Most Priorat. So we should guess the wines importantly, to us anyhow, our wine comes might be good?

The Catalan soil is lime, over a granite from this region. and slate subsoil. Most of the vineyards As early as the 14th century, a Franciscan writer described Catalan wines are at about 1,200 feet above sea level. as “strong, dense, highly alcoholic which, The climate is Mediterranean with although high quality, sometimes needed some continental influences. The white to be diluted with water.” Yikes! But, varieties allowed here are Chardonnay, they moved forward, inventing Cava, as Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo, Moscatel, we mentioned earlier, embracing modern Pansal and Paralleda. The reds allowed are techniques and bringing in and using more Cabernet Sauvignon, Cariñena, Garnacha, international grapes such as Cabernet, Garnacha Peluda, Merlot, Monastrell, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay. A 1979 Picapoll nero, Syrah and Tempranillo. win at a Gault Millau Wine Olympics put Between all of these grape varieties, we’re lucky to know some at least.

Catalan wines firmly on the wine map.

The main style of Montsant wines is In addition to the Cava and Priorat powerful red with velvety textures, just DO’s, there are nine others in Catalan. like our wine of the week, the 2010 Mas Montsant, ours, was declared in 2001 and the first wines labeled Montsant Sorrer Montsant. The proprietors are were sold in 2002. Montsant was named Sara Perez and Rene Barbier, Jr., husband

and wife. Both of them had parents who made Priorat wines. Sara is the winemaker for Mas Sorrer and speaks at wine conferences and symposiums on what it’s like to be a woman winemaker.

In Spain, according to Sara, more women are involved at wineries in the winemaking than some other European countries.

Both Sara and Rene believe the potential for Montsant wines is huge.

The climate and the rich variety of soils are exceptional. Besides this couple, other young winemakers work in this area, for the same reasons.

The grapes for Mas Sorrer are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, in that order. They come from several sites in the DO, all steep slopes. The soil is schist, clay, sand and calcareous.

Twelve thousand bottles are made each year. This wine is a bigger style red, especially when compared to most of the other Spanish red wines we have tasted. Its aromas are strong red and black fruits (blackberries, black cherries, dark plums) with hints of herbs, tobacco and mocha — a truly exciting first sniff.

The flavors follow these aromas — big, rich, intense, and very smooth. Oh, boy! Even after all that we’ve just learned about Montsant wines, this one is just so exciting to taste. Mmmmm.

Another sip. There’s the nice little touch of earthiness at the end. Yum. Between the aromas and the flavors and the texture and the weight — this is one special treat. For $14.99, it’s special, special, special! (You think I maybe really like this one?)

But, when it comes to the name of this week’s featured wine — “Mas Sorrer” — it remains a mystery. No matter where I look or who I ask, there is no meaning or translation for this name. I know “mas” means “more” in Spanish, but “sorrer” isn’t a Spanish word, or proper name, that I could find. It is a little hard to understand: Why name your wine something that doesn’t mean anything?

But, maybe it has a special, personal meaning for Sara and Rene. Maybe it’s the name of their favorite band or bar at home in Catalonia. I’d like to think so.

Because now I can love this wine even “mas.”

Enjoy.

Capital strength is one of the factors they look at to determine the strength and safety of a bank. How much capital a bank has in relation to its assets is a mark of stability among banks. We always maintain a high capital to assets ratio. It’s one of the reasons we’re always rated as a strong bank.

Dog gone AWOL: Part II

What can you do to prevent your dog from leaving?

BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

When last we checked in, your stomach had just taken a lurch upon discovering Fracas was not in the yard.

Boredom and loneliness had finally taken its toll and Fracas took off for parts unknown. How on earth did he get out?

Dog owners are notorious for falling victim to the “let’s get a puppy!” urge before adequate preparation has even been considered. Fracas, as a tiny puppy, wouldn’t wander too far off his back stoop. But, a short six months later, he already developed a habit of making the neighborhood rounds. Once Mr. Jones down the road called up to threaten to shoot Fracas if he rooted in his garbage one more time, you decided, one Saturday morning, it was time to throw up some sort of metal fence post and wire kind of structure thinking that would hold Fracas until you could dig a few post holes.

Unfortunately, by the time you had settled back onto the couch after all that work, Fracas was already testing the perimeter. In the far corner he found a three-inch gap, shoved his nose under to the “freedom” side, clawed a bit in the soft dirt and whammo! he was out. You eventually dragged him back and filled

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

the hole. But the damage was done.

Fracas was then on his way to a lifetime career as a master escape artist.

Whether your dogs escape efforts focus on paw power or feats of aerial derring-do depends on genetics and learning. Dogs who are genetically programmed to dig, such as terriers, will be more likely to become burrowers and tunnel under a fence if a handy soft spot is discovered. If a loose board is the first weak spot found, your terrier will turn into a beaver and chew himself out.

Herding dogs such as Border Collies and sporting breeds such as Labradors have a natural ability to bound as gracefully as gazelles. Jumping fences will become a specialty. Bolters have learned to watch for moments of human inattention, and then charge out the tiniest crack in the gate or door.

the escape artist in her glory days. When she first came to share my home I was convinced she could fly, as she would appear at the front door only moments after I had sent her out to the dog yard.

My kennel fences were tall; the bottoms buried two feet in solid clay yet she would routinely appear outside the fence.

Careful, clandestine observation proved her to be an accomplished climber.

As you will hear from me again and again, it is always easier to prevent a behavior problem from happening than it is to fix it after the fact. There’s no excuse for letting a puppy become an escape artist when preventive measures

are so simple. Don’t let the puppy learn that roaming is rewarding and stop all fledgling escape attempts by using some common sense.

Before you get you puppy, make sure your new fence is flush to the ground, pinned every 6-8 inches or even buried a few inches deep. Check, from a dog’s eye view, for weak spots and gaps. Go overboard on the height. Make sure there are no woodpiles, dog houses, deck railings, lawn furniture close enough to provide a launching pad.

Teach you pup to “wait!” at the door until invited through. Install dog proof latches on all gates. A padlock will prevent an accidental release from an outsider and will thwart the development of latch-opening skills. Minimize your dog’s desire to roam by neutering at an early age and provide him with ample exercise and companionship at home.

And finally, consider keeping your dog indoors when you’re not home. It is, by far, the easiest, safest, most common sense solution.
