The flick of a switch … going on this mission I believe I am following the path God has chosen for me,” said Ellison Woodward of Lady’s Island.

It is hard to envision how the simple “flick of a switch” can bring joy and celebration to a community. Electricity is something that Americans take for granted. Five young men from Beaufort will work to make such a joyous occasion a reality for a Ugandan community when they travel as Solar Light for Africa Youth Mission 2009 from June 29-July 14.

The “Beaufort Boys” are Ward Burrus, Luke Hetherington, Robin Sanders, Gray Segars, and Ellison Woodward. The three high school students and two college students are all members of the Parish Church of St. Helena (Episcopal).

The group will travel under the leadership of retired Bishop Alden Hathaway who founded Solar Light for Africa.

Their mission this summer is to install solar equipment to provide power and light to a rural school in Uganda.

Gullah Festival celebrates culture, history this weekend

by John C. Williams

Drums will beat a rhythm of history and culture this weekend as the 23rd annual Gullah Festival returns to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort.

The Gullah Festival celebrates and recognizes the history, customs, cultures, language and accomplishments of the African-Americans of the Lowcountry.

A dream of festival founder Rosalie Pazant more than two decades ago, the festival started small but has developed a strong following along the East Coast. People flock to visit vendor booths, to watch entertainers connect current fashion with West African culture from centuries ago, and to attend informative panel discussions.

Brown, Lolita Pazant Harris and Reba Pazant Hunt, decided to move forward with a cultural festival.

Their goal? Create a festival with a flavor of the old ‘Decoration Day’ but with a mix of entertainment, history and culture lessons, and lots of fun.

Since the first festival in 1986, the Gullah Festival has been named on of the top 20 events in the Southeast Tickets are $10 for Friday, $20 each day for Saturday and Sunday. Children under age six are admitted free, while those ages 7-12 get in for $10. All the forums and panel discussions are free.

For more information visit www.gullahfestival.org.

The festival is always held on the weekend before Memorial Day. In the mid-1980s, Pazant and a handful of friends began talking about how, in earlier years, the Beaufort black community would celebrate ‘Decoration Day.’ She along with family friend Marlena McGhee of Hallelujah Singers fame, and Pazant’s daughters Charlotte Pazant

Update: Good Neighbor Medical Clinic

Summer Camps

by Shelia Deaul

Presch

How many times a day do you ‘Thank God!’?

I hear it often in the clinic but I never tire of it. Patients say it when they recognize the strength of the hand that brought them to us and clinic advocates say it as they recognize the creator of the path that made it possible.

At Good Neighbor Medical Clinic we are thankful for the blessings that our patients receive and grateful for the opportunity to share the joy of those blessings. I also hear quite a bit of gratitude on a daily basis. As with everything else, it is no co-incidence that Martha O’Ragan, a Neighborhood Sponsor, shared with me the power of being ever thankful and grateful for the blessings and opportunities presented to you.

This month as I reflect back on our first year, I find innumerable reasons to be thankful and grateful.

I am thankful for the overwhelming support given GNMC throughout the year and grateful for the patience, perseverance and participation of all those involved as we have continuously designed, tested and improved the structure and processes necessary to support the services that we provide.

I believe the last update of GNMC activities was early March announcing the Clinic Blessing. So, before the clinic enters its next phase of tremendous growth (final preparations and training for our target date to see patients), let me bring you up to date.

The Blessing was a glorious event- within the next month you will be able to see pictures of that event and other GNMC activities on our website @ www.goodneighbormedicalclinic. org or stop in and look through the clinic scrapbook created and maintained by Judy Dudley. The website will also offer a slide show, (produced by Jim Cato), of our development, but please bear with us as it is still under construction.

Reception Advocates have staffed our front desk Mondays and Fridays from 9am – 3pm since January. They have contributed to the improvement of telephone, scheduling & patient registration processes. AND, they did all that while registering over 150 patients, managing appointments for both services and assisting with the establishment of our patient record system RxACCESS has assisted more than 50 patients in finding their medications at no or reduced cost, with savings per patient ranging from $60 - $1000/month. The number of patient visits in this program continues to increase starting with 28 in February, 40 in March and 72 in April. Two of our patients also reported that since taking their meds

as prescribed, they feel so much better that they were able to successfully re-enter the workforce.

The Advocates in this program started working together early last year and have developed their knowledge and skills to a level matching their dedication to get the right medications, at the right time, in the needed amounts, from the most appropriate source, for every patient.

And, over this past month new volunteers were guided to our clinic possessing program administration skills, clinical expertise and a knack interviewing patients. Can you hear me repeating thankful and grateful?

I am thankful for the dozen or so nurses who in April, completed 40 New Patient Nursing Intake Interviews and grateful for their assistance in developing our care delivery system.

I am thankful for the many Good Neighbors who have been involved since we moved into 1402 King Street late last year and grateful for their continued dedication to meeting our patients’ needs.

I am thankful for the financial support that we receive from our Generous Neighbors who send us monetary gifts; our Neighborhood Sponsors who contribute their talents, skills and expertise, and our Neighborhood Partners who provide on-going support financially or collaborate with us to provide diagnostic and support services at reduced or no cost to patients referred from GNMC. As of March 31, we have received a total of $17,520 in donations, $2,750 in professional services provided at no or reduced cost to GNMC and a $7,000 grant awards from The Beaufort Fund of Coastal Community foundation. Additional funds were raised by volunteer support of participation in the Belk Charity Day Sale event on May 2 netting total ticket sales of greater than $500.

I am perpetually thankful and immeasurably grateful for our Partnership with The Parish Church of St Helena Episcopal. In addition to its many parishioners who are volunteers, this marks the second year that The Parish has been our major local benefactor contributing $25,000 in 2008 and continuing that commitment to our Mission pledging $20,000 for 2009.

In summary, I am thankful for and grateful to each of you. We are unique among free clinics in that we are accomplishing our mission with an almost 100% volunteer effort allowing us to concentrate the allocation of funds to patient care.

Community Preservation Committee update Courtesy LIPBA Newsletter

The Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee met on April 13, 2009 at the Lady’s Island Airport conference room. Items of business included: A request by Rick McElveen, owner and operator of the business “Sure Sign” located in the former site of Lord Evan’s paint store, to expand the area in the Village Center in which boat repair operations could be conducted. The retail sale and repair of boats is presently authorized only in the portion of the Village Center from the entrance to the Beaufort High School to Meridian Road opposite the Lady’s Island marina. The committee voted to recommend denial of the request and for present zoning to remain in effect.

Ben Gacy presented information regarding the benefits of inclusionary zoning and recommended that Lady’s Island zoning be modified to allow such zoning.

Inclusionary zoning allows benefits (increased density, reduced amount of

required open space) if a portion of the houses in a new development are priced in the “affordable” range. Since the subject of mandatory inclusionary zoning is presently being considered by County Council and the projected limitations on Lady’s Island roads and bridges no action was taken.

In addition to the members of the CP Committee, Deputy Director of Planning Delores Fraiser, LIBPA Vice President Rich Tritschler and County Councilman Paul Sommerville, who represents Lady’s Island, were in attendance.

When there are items that merit the attention of the Community Preservation Committee it meets on the second Monday of each month at 10 a.m. at the conference room of the Lady’s Island Airport. Request for items to be placed on the agenda for review by the committee should be addressed to Brian Herman, Community Preservation Planner (470-2730). All LICP meetings are open to the public.

News CAPA chosen as Pulte Homes’ 2009 Make a Difference Day recipient Beaufort SC – As the sun shined down, the constant humming of a power washer, Bobcat and hoses fill the air Wednesday morning at the CAPA Open Arms Shelter for Abused and Neglected Children in Beaufort. Over 50 people from Pulte Homes, Impact Landscape & Irrigation, and Brock Grading spent the day landscaping, painting, refurbishing flower beds, power washing, irrigating, and updating the playground. Landscaping materials, irrigation and labor were provided by Impact Landscape & Irrigation. Palm Beach Grading donated the sand and Nimmer Turf donated the sod for the project.

The response to participate in the “Make a Difference Day” was overwhelming. Allison Tucker and Jessica Little, both employees of Pulte, stated that due to the high response rate, what began as one day of service has turned in to two days of work at the Shelter.

Pulte Homes, the parent company for Del Webb’s Sun City Hilton Head, has a company policy in place which allows staff to hold two “Make a Difference Days” to benefit a local nonprofit. When the “Top Gun” committee met to select this year’s nonprofit, the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) stood out to everyone. Mike Martin, sales associate for Pulte, and Jerry Little, assistant project manager for Pulte, said they couldn’t think of a more worthy cause than children. “It is exciting to me to see the staff turnout,” said Martin.

Martin calls Impact employees heroes. “They took the time, especially during this economic turndown, to do what’s right. Pulte has a slogan – ‘Do the Right Thing’ – this is a perfect example of our employees doing the right thing.”

“It’s an honor for us to be here today,” said Joe Floyd, who, along with Matt Hilyer, owns Impact Landscape & Irrigation and Jason Sloan serves as general manager. “We are glad to be here today to help out. It means a lot to help the children in our community and give them a place to come home to and be proud of.”

The generosity didn’t stop there. Pulte purchased outdoor toys and games for the Shelter and Impact purchased and installed new basketball goals. Jon Cherry, division president for Pulte Homes in the South Carolina Coastal Division joined his team in the afternoon.

May 25 - May 29

As we carry out our plans for ending this school year on a successful note, we begin to plan for an even more successful year next year.

Elementary Schools

If you attended a parent orientation last week, you learned about some of the changes that will take place next year. One such change will be the implementation of Habits of Mind.

May 25 Holiday May 26 Oven Fried Chicken w/ Mac &Cheese Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwich P B & J Sandwich Vegetables & Fruit

Beyond the classroom, we have great responsibility for instilling these dispositions in our children at home. We must teach them to value intelligent, creative, and rational action. To do so, however, we must provide the conditions that will nurture these habits.

Employing Habits of Mind requires drawing forth certain patterns of intellectual behavior that produce powerful results. They are a composite of many skills, attitudes and proclivities. The 16 Habits of Mind include: Persisting Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision Managing impulsivity Gathering data through all senses Listening with understanding and empathy Creating, imagining, innovating Thinking flexibly Responding with wonderment and awe Thinking about thinking (metacognition) Taking responsible risks

Striving for accuracy Finding humor Questioning and posing problems Thinking interdependently Applying past knowledge to new situations Remaining open to continuous learning

We must believe that ALL children can continue to grow in their ability to behave more intelligently. We must have faith that all humans can become increasingly more gifted than they are presently capable of demonstrating. Finally, we must set an example by becoming models of these habits of success ourselves.

To learn more about Habits of Mind, please visit http://www. habits-of-mind.net/.

Lady’s Island Elementary Principal: Terry Dingle

Lady’s Island Elementary is a unique school with extraordinary teachers, parents, faculty, and most of all great students. With an Arts Infused curriculum, students have the opportunity to excel in areas such as dance, drama, art, speed stacking, and choir.

Beaufort Middle Lady’s Island Middle Beaufort High May 25 Holiday May 26 Oven Fried Chicken w/ Mac & Cheese Chicken Sandwich Salad of the Day Beef Nacho Cheeseburger Turkey Bacon Wrap Vegetable & Fruit May 27 Beef Stroganoff Chicken Tenders Pizza Ham & Cheese Sub Salad of the Day Vegetable & Fruit May 28 Open Face Turkey Sandwich Chicken Nuggets Beef Nacho Cheeseburger Combo Sub Salad of the Day Vegetable & Fruit Strawberty Shortcake May 29 Manager Choice Pizza Chicken Sandwich Chicken Wrap Beef Nacho Salad of the Day Vegetable & Fruit

Once a child gets the taste of success and pride from their educational experience, they yearn to have more.

When this spills over into the disciplines of math, language arts, science, and social studies educators are presented with a unique opportunity to facilitate learning when previously, the door may have been shut. This opportunity is realized at Lady’s Island Elementary School where these artistic impressions are tied directly to South Carolina State Standards.

As we move toward the end of another school year, I’d like to thank the staff, students, parents, and community members for another very successful year of instruction at Lady’s Island Elementary. The first round of the new state PASS test was given early in March. The remainder of the test will be given May 12-27. Our teachers and students have been working very hard in the classrooms and expect nothing less than a high level of achievement in all areas of testing.

Beaufort Middle Principal: Carole Ingram

With the end of the year looming, we begin to think about the changes that are on the horizon. Next school year Lady’s Island Elementary will remain a school of choice and will continue to offer an Arts Infused curriculum. It will not have a fifth grade as that level will be offered at the Lady’s Island Intermediate School. In view of this move some faculty members will transition into different positions in the district.

The good news is that as a result of the movement of the fifth grade we may be capable of accepting additional students desiring to attend under the school of choice option. Please know that as these changes occur we, at Lady’s Elementary School, will continue implementing a high level of instruction with a strong arts foundation.

Please be prepared to celebrate the successes of our students, teachers, and other faculty members as the year draws to an end. We will in fact, have a 4/5 graduation for the first time, as a result of the LIMS/LIIS transition. This ceremony will be held on June 5 at 6 p.m. at the Beaufort High auditorium.

Please come out to celebrate with us on this monumental occasion.

I am proud of the commitment shown by the entire staff of LIES and especially the hard work of our students.

NEWS Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture brings “Treasures” to St. Helena Island on May 31 The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture will cohost the “Treasures” program to help Beaufort area residents identify and preserve items of historical and cultural significance tucked away in the attics, closets and basements of their homes. Presented in collaboration with the Penn Center on St. Helena Island, the events will feature presentations, hands-on activities and preservation tips.

This public event will take place Sunday, May 31, from noon to 5:30 p.m. at the Penn Center, 16 Penn Center Circle West, St. Helena Island. It is free and all residents of Beaufort and surrounding communities are welcome to attend. St. Helena Island is a fitting venue, once a thriving plantation community steeped in history where one of the first freedmen’s school, the Penn School, opened in 1862.

Participants can reserve in advance to bring up to three personal items for a 20-minute, one-on-one professional consultation with experts on how to care for them. The specialists will serve as reviewers, not appraisers, and will not determine items’ monetary values. Objects such as books, paper and textiles no larger than a shopping bag (furniture, carpets and paintings are excluded) can be reviewed. Those wishing to have items reviewed must make reservations online at treasures@si.edu or by telephone at (202) 633-9599. Reservations are not required for those not wishing a one-on-one consultation. Additional information is available at nmaahc.si.edu.

This will be the fifth in a series from the museum’s signature program “Save Our African American Treasures: A National Collections Initiative of Discovery and Preservation.” More than 150 people brought family objects to the first “Treasures” event held in Chicago in January 2008. In the crowd was Patricia Heaston of Chicago, who brought a white Pullman porter cap and a gold-colored pin bearing the image of an African American woman. She learned that the white Pullman porter cap was rare (most caps were black or blue), and its color meant that its owner had tended to prominent travelers (perhaps even Presidents) on a private train car. Nearly 100 people attended the “Treasures” event in July 2008 in Los Angeles.

“We are very excited to bring ‘Treasures’ to St. Helena Island,” said Lonnie G. Bunch III, founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. “We must encourage private citizens to become aware of what they have, to protect it and to preserve it so the story of the African American in this country can be told. Private citizens hold the 19th- and 20th-century objects—family photographs, military uniforms, farm tools, and wedding dresses—that can help tell this story for future generations. If we do not act now to preserve these items, the tangible evidence of a critical component of American history will be lost.”

Future events will be held in Atlanta and New York. “Treasures” has been made possible by a grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. Its $1 million grant to the

museum also supports the pre-design and construction of the museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., scheduled to open in 2015.

“Bank of America is committed to the preservation of our national heritage,” said Chris Latham, Charleston president of the Bank of America. “We are proud to bring the ‘Save Our African American Treasures’ workshop into our communities and encourage everyone to become aware of the important role they can play in preserving mementos and treasures for other generations to enjoy.”

The “Treasures” program includes the following sessions: Preservation Presentations: Three informal basic preservation sessions will take place during the day. In the session on photographs and paper, participants will learn about light, heat and humidity and how it affects their family collections. They will discover simple things they can do to be good stewards of their family paper and photography collections. In another presentation, Smithsonian staff will share stories about how conservators use science, art history and skilled hands to preserve artwork at the Smithsonian Institution. One final presentation will focus on preparing for disasters.

Hands-on Preservation: Participants are invited to learn how to properly store letters, pack garments and prepare photographs for preservation storage and presentation.

Your Story/Our Story—Recording Oral Histories: Participants may record a brief personal memory, a family story or a memory of a historical event. Family members are encouraged to interview each other.

All attendees will receive a complimentary Smithsonian tote bag filled with a copy of the 30-page guidebook, “African American Treasures: A Preservation Guide”, white cotton gloves, archival tissue papers, and archival documents sleeves to keep personal treasures safe.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture was established in 2003 by an Act of Congress, making it the 19th Smithsonian Institution museum.

It is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, art, history and culture. The Smithsonian Board of Regents, the governing body of the Institution, voted in January 2006 to build the museum on a five-acre site on the National Mall. The Constitution Avenue site is adjacent to the Washington Monument and across the street from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. For more information about the museum, please visit nmaahc. si.edu or call Smithsonian information at (202) 633-1000, (202) 633-5285 (TTY).

Foreclosures, bankruptcies continue to climb locally Courtesy LIBPA Newsletter

A check of the number of Beaufort County homes involved in either bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings at the end of April would indicate we have not reached a bottom at this point.

Over the last 30 days northern Beaufort County has seen an increase of 10 additional homes (69 to 79) involved in bankruptcy proceedings and three additional homes (92 to 95) involved in foreclosure proceedings.

South of the Broad River in Beaufort County the number of homes involved in bankruptcy increased by only two homes but the number involved in foreclosures saw the addition of 65 homes (254 to 329).

Sports News More than 100 swimmers are expected to splash through a three-mile open water swim from Port Royal Landing Marina to the Downtown Beaufort Marina that offers unique challenges.

The race starts at 10 a.m. and registration will begin at 8:30 on May 30 at the Downtown Marina. Fortunately for swimmers, the race is with the incoming tide. Top swimmers should finish the race in about 50 minutes, according to Carlton Bruner, one of the race organizers and himself a former Olympic swimmer.

“This is a chance for swimmers to compete in a distance event that is outside the normal confines of a pool,” Bruner said. “We are not only competing against the other swimmers and the overall time, but we are competing against Mother Nature.

“You have to deal with all the elements out in the water which could include currents, waves, wind, rain, and most of all, navigation. It’s one thing to swim up and down a pool following a black line, it’s completely different having to figure out the best, fastest way from point A to point B where you have no idea where point B is at times,” he said.

Best viewing spots include the bluff below Beaufort Memorial Hospital, the hospital docks, or at the finish line.

The race isn’t targeted for novice swimmers. It is open to swimmers age 13 and older; participants should be able to swim for at least 30 minutes without stopping. Full safety and rescue services will be in the river during the race.

To register now for $30, go to www.active.com or www.beaufortriverswim. com, or register on race day for $40.

Open Land Trust New Member Reception

By Lanier Laney

The Open Land Trust greeted a new generation of members with ‘Cocktails on the Bluff ’ at Edward Duke’s home. President Ann Bluntzer spoke passionately about how much the Open Land Trust has accomplished over the last 38 years. “There are over 40 open ‘vistas’ or ‘viewsheds’ that the Trust has saved around Beaufort County thanks to all the members and donors’ hard work over the years. There’s a lot to still be accomplished and we welcome a new generation of members to help and pitch in.”

Many newcomers don’t know this, but the beautiful view of Beaufort bay that one sees when riding down Bay Street in front of Beaufort Elementary is the result of the founding members of the Open Land Trust’s hard work. They painstakingly and diligently bought up four houses and their lots and tore down the houses to give us the gorgeous vista that we all enjoy today.

Patty Kennedy, Kim & Stephen Durham, Marjorie Gray, Ann Bluntzer

This charity is very important to Beaufort because its work benefits everyone who lives here. We are blessed with some of the most stupendous natural beauty in America and it’s our duty to preserve it for future generations. Said Ann, “I invite anyone who would like to help save what we all love about Beaufort to please join us.” If you would like to join, get on their email list, or volunteer for upcoming fundraising events, please call the Trust at 521-2175 or visit their website at www.openlandtrust.com.

Profile

McDonald’s owners find ways to give back

by John C. Williams

For Michael Eggers, it truly was love at first sight.

After two decades working for the McDonald’s corporation in the big-city excitement of Atlanta, he and his wife Laura were ready in 2004 to go out on their own as owner/operators of a McDonald’s restaurant.

“After looking at several different locations, I drove to Beaufort to see Lady’s Island. Picture this: I leave the hustle and bustle of Atlanta at 3 a.m. to come to Lady’s Island to determine if this was the right opportunity.

“At around 7:30 a.m., I drive over the Port Royal (McTeer) Bridge as the sun is shining on the Beaufort River, I see the Port Royal Landing Marina with all of the sailboats and I call Laura to tell her that no matter what this restaurant is like, we are definitely moving here.”

Today they own the McDonald’s at Lady’s Island, Port Royal and the one inside Wal-mart.

And while Ronald McDonald is the iconic leader of the McDonald nation, it’s the Ronald McDonald House Charities program that captured the Eggers hearts. Across the country, Ronald McDonald Houses offer accommodations for families of children being treated in hospitals for critical illnesses. For a daily cost of just $5 to $25, families can stay together, in private rooms, so they can remain a family while a child is being cared for at a nearby hospital. They get homecooked meals and playrooms for children.

Next year, the 300th Ronald McDonald House is scheduled to open.

“I have been involved with the Ronald McDonald House Charities since beginning my career with McDonald’s,” Michael said. “When I moved to Beaufort, I became very involved with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire located in Savannah near Memorial Hospital. I served on the Board of Directors for two years and was Board President for one year.

“I am now more focused on the Ronald McDonald House Charities Care Mobile which operates only in Beaufort County. I am the Chair of the Care Mobile committee that is responsible for marketing and fundraising for this program.

“It doesn’t take too many visits to the Ronald McDonald House or to the Care Mobile to understand why anyone would get involved in this worthwhile charity,” Eggers said. “The Care Mobile is a dental unit that serves all of the elementary schools in Beaufort County. We screen, clean and educate children on the importance of good dental health. We are currently serving over 2,000 children per year. Our target group is elementary children that are on a reduced or free meal program in the schools.”

at the Good Neighbor Medical Clinic that recently opened in downtown Beaufort.

Eggers has been associated with McDonald’s Corporation for more than 22 years – 17 as a corporate employee and five as an owner/operator. He started as a manager trainee in Atlanta and capped his corporate career – so far – as Field Service Manager where he was responsible for 125 restaurants in and around Atlanta.

“While I am fortunate to not have a personal story involving the charity,” Michael said, “I have seen the faces of those parents who have a critically ill child when they return to the House after a long day at the hospital and are greeted by smiling volunteers. They are provided with meals and have a place to stay that is within walking distance to where their child is being treated.

Laura, meanwhile, had built a 21-year career in hospitality management, including positions with Marriott International, Inc. including Director of Finance, General Manager and Regional Director.

“The smiling faces of the children who come out of the Care Mobile, some after their very first dental experience, makes you know that the effort that we put forth is well worth it.”

Together they made the switch to small-town living and haven’t looked back.

To get involved in either the Ronald McDonald House in Savannah or with the Care Mobile, contact Nikole Layton, the Executive Director, at 912-356-5520 or visit www.rmhccoastalempire.org or email eggers directly at michael.eggers@partners.mcd. com.

Nowadays, when it’s time to relax, Michael enjoys visiting other Lowcountry restaurants or playing golf. Laura enjoys reading, running and practicing Pilates.

She’s taken a shine to the Lowcountry, volunteering at Coosa Elementary where their daughter attends school, graduating this month from Leadership Beaufort, and joining the Board of Directors for the Friends of the Library. She’s also volunteering

HEALTH Your Dental Health

Take a bite out of headaches

by Dr. Stephen W Durham, DMD Who doesn’t hate a headache? Most of us experience them occasionally, pop a few pills and go on about our business. For others, headaches can be an ongoing, severely debilitating condition that affects many aspects of our lives.

remain tense for long periods of time. The contracted and tense muscles suffer from poor circulation due to lack of rest. The poor circulation causes reduced oxygen and waste product buildup, such as lactic acid. The end result is pain!

Dr. Stephen Durham offers a wide variety of dental services and has received postgraduate training at the Las Vegas Institute for Cosmetic and Neuromuscular Dentistry. For more information call 379-5400 or visit www.durhamdental. net.

Because so many people suffer from terrible headaches, they are one of the leading reasons people visit physicians every year. According to one source, headache disorders costs more than 31 billion in the U.S. annually, including 9% labor lost productivity.

New technology allows properly trained neuromuscular dentists to evaluate the state of the affected muscles and bite. Based on the evaluation results and other information obtained from a thorough dental exam, the possible cause of headaches or pain could be found to be a problem with the bite. Corrective treatment normally starts with a custom made orthotic to position the teeth, and muscles to a correct relationship. The orthotic can be a very conservative option for getting the bite into that proper rest position. It can also be the starting point for changing the teeth to the resting position permanently by orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry.

Ladies do we have a stud for you!!

Headaches are only one of the many signs and symptoms of an improper bite. Others areas to look for are a limited jaw/mouth opening and movement, ringing in ears, loose, sensitive, or worn teeth, jaw clenching, and teeth grinding.

1 ct. total weight Diamond studs for $999.00

There are many causes of headaches or neck pain. Most people with severe headaches will see physicians and will be able to rule out whether eye strain or tumors, etc are the culprit. But most would never suspect that problems anywhere in the head and neck area could actually be the result of an improper bite.

What we as dentists call occlusion is what most people refer to as ‘the bite’ - the way teeth come together. The bite muscles in the temporal area and side of the head are a very important part of chewing, closing and posturing the jaw. When the bite is in an improper position or unbalanced, it can lead to abnormal tension in the muscles of occlusion. This tension can lead to any number of problems, including, clenching, grinding, tooth wear, pain or headaches.

If the bite is not placed in its proper position, the muscles

If you suspect that you have a bite that is not correctly positioned, it may be in your best interest to have a professional evaluation by a neuromuscular dentist in your area. Just remember, to take a bite out of headaches, the muscles must be happy!

Ear-ache, my eye!

by Francis Rushton, M.D.

My child has an ear ache. Should I go to the ER? Ear Infections are one of the most common problems a pediatrician sees. Symptoms of ear infections can include: Pain in the ear. This is sometimes difficult to discern in smaller children who may only seem irritable and cry Loss of appetite: Children with ear infections frequently don’t eat well Persistent nasal discharge, cough and cold symptoms: Frequently the only symptoms of ear infections are nasal discharge and irritability that persists.

Difficulty hearing: Ear infections fill the middle ear cavity with puss, decreasing children’s ability to hear.

Fever: Fever is frequently but not always present.

The first line of treatment for an ear infection is pain control. Motrin and Tylenol are both very effective in improving comfort in a child with an ear infection. Sometimes drops that numb the ear are used.

In younger children less than four, we almost always use an antibiotic when an ear infection is diagnosed, but although ear infections usually clear faster with antibiotic, they also usually resolve on their own. For that reason, in older children who are not in severe pain, today we frequently treat ear infections with pain medicine alone.

Other conditions that mimic ear infections are swimmer’s ear or Otitis Externa, sore throats and colds. Ear infections can be painful but are generally not considered an emergency and do not need to be treated in the Emergency Room.

Dr. Rushton serves on the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Pediatrics and is a long-time pediatrician serving northern Beaufort County. He and his family live on Lady’s Island.

Jim Law Memorial Golf Tournament this weekend

Port Royal Sound Cobia Tournament

Golfers from across the Lowcountry are expected to compete in the second annual Jim Law Memorial Golf Tournament, scheduled for May 23-24 at Sanctuary Golf Club on Cat Island.

The Beaufort-Port Royal CVB will be hosting the 1st Annual Port Royal Sound Cobia Fishing Tournament May 29-30.

“The course is in excellent condition and we’re very proud to be hosting this tournament which helps fund scholarships for local students” said Joe Matheny, head professional at Sanctuary, adding, “The ‘better-ball’ format allows golfers of all abilities a chance to score well and win prizes.”

The tournament is a weekend-long event that will attract hundreds of anglers from the coastal southeast.

The Port Royal Sound is nationally known as one of the best locations for Cobia fishing and a world class Cobia tournament is a natural fit for the area.

The event honors Father Jim Law, who was the Pastor of the Parish Church of St. Helena for many years. Law was active in youth programs at St Helena and an avid golfer. He died in 2008. The tournament bearing his name was begun as a way to help deserving students who might otherwise not be able to afford college.

The tournament will provide anglers an incredible fishing experience, evening activities, and an excellent purse. Cash prizes of over $5,000 will be awarded in our inaugural year for only a $150 entry fee with first place prize of $2,009.

The tournament activities include; a cookout the evening of May 22, tournament rounds on May 23-24, followed by an awards party at the British Open Pub at Sanctuary Golf Club. Entry fees are $70 per player for Sanctuary members and $120 per player for non-members.

Openings are still available. Call 524-0300 before May 20 to reserve your spot.

The weekend kicks off Friday May 29 at 6:30 p.m. at a Captain’s Dinner at the Quality Inn at Town Center.

May gardening tips

by Betsi Hilton

Hanging Gardens: Start planting hanging baskets and window boxes now.

Look for the water soluble granules to add to soil where drying conditions are most common. When planning these containers remember to plant like specimens (shade lovers together, sun basking varieties together). Consider containers with succulent varieties utilizing strawberry planters with those little pockets. Welldrained soil with gravel is essential when planting succulents.

...formerly South Carolina National Golf Club

May Golf Specials:

Bulbs: Plant caladiums and divide iris if necessary. Consider planting iris around your fish pond if you have one, and accent with a specimen rock. The contrast of sword like fronds, craggy rock and smooth water is quite striking.

Beaufort County Rate $44.95 Twilight Rate after 2:00pm $39.95 Two for Tuesdays Beaufort County Residents - 2 can play for $61.95 Thursdays - 9 Hole Scramble PLUS Dinner $30.00

Vegetable Gardens: Plant sweet potatoes, tomatoes and peppers. Mulch beds lightly to discourage weeds and help keep soil moist.

To keep cutworms from fragile young tomatoes, put collars around each plant partially buried about 2 inches. Cutworms tend to be in the upper two inches of soil.

Continue planting those vegetables you enjoy most. Companion planting with marigolds and society garlic will help offset pests.

All rates are subject to local sales and admissions tax

Herbs: Look for “French Tarragon” for best flavor, or substitute Mexican mint marigold for variety. Scatter rocks and accent pieces among the herb plants for visual effect and interest. When among your herbs, take time to pinch leaves and enjoy the mingling aromas. Oyster shells scattered between herb plants make a nice visual addition. Clean shells by soaking in water with bleach for a few days and allow several days to dry in the sun. If the shells are unusually interesting I seal them with crystal clear gloss enamel spray.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

A world of hurt, relieved

Adopt Me

by Tracie Korol

A very good vet once told me that a guideline she used when treating an animal in pain was to imagine the level of pain she would experience if she had the same condition. She elaborated that having her appendix removed gave her valuable insight into how her dog must have felt after her spay.

Analgesics are medicines that are meant to relieve pain. There are three major categories of conventional medicines for pain control: local anesthetics, opioids and non-opioids. This last category includes a large class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but also covers common but not fully understood drugs like aspirin and acetaminophen, which defy categorization.

Local anesthetics abolish pain rather than diminish it. An example is lidocaine or the local anesthetic your dentist would inject into your gums before high-drama dental work. In the porcupine-riddled back woods of Vermont this was extremely useful after a dog had a lesson in curiosity.

The action of enkephalins and endorphins on pain receptors is the body’s built-in painsuppressing system. It’s these two hormones at work that makes the body feel good after jogging, sex, or an acupuncture treatment. Opiates bind to these hormone receptors in the pain pathway and effectively prevent the transmission of pain signals to the brain, essentially deadening the pain. Examples of opioids for dogs are Fentanyl, Tramadol and Torbugesic.

NSAIDs work by blocking the action of paincausing prostaglandins, some by blocking what we have come to know as COX-1,2 and 3 inhibitors (the four-dollar root word is cyclooxygenase). Examples of NSAIDs for dogs include Etogesic, Rimadyl, Metacam and Deramaxx and they can relieve pain by reducing inflammation. The NSAIDs are the mainstay of pain relief for dogs.

While all of these can be very effective, most of the time, there also are occasions when the analgesic will have the opposite effect, actually causing more pain. In addition, each drug has its own list of adverse side effects. Be sure to discuss with your vet the potential risk/benefit ratio whenever you are choosing an analgesic for your dog.

Fortunately, there are many alternative ways to approach pain control. These are less dangerous and frequently more effective. Keep in mind, though, that they may not have the immediate depth of activity of conventional medicines, but 20

they are safer to use, will not be addictive and will have a broader spectrum of activity—meaning they might relieve several kinds of pain and may help eliminate some of the emotional aspects that accompany pain.

One of my favorite natural pain medications, especially for bruises, sprains or trauma is the homeopathic remedy, Arnica. Hypericum and Calendula are terrific for mitigating pain from wounds (say, from porcupine quills) and Bryonia is effective for chronic for joint and muscle pain.

Herbal remedies have a long and safe history of use for alleviating pain. Stephania and Clematis Combination is a Chinese herbal formula that is effective in reducing the pain associated with weak back legs, stiffness, hip dysplasia and lumbosacral pain. Willow bark contains the substance that is the active ingredient in aspirin without the complication of stomach erosion. Herbal oats act as a nervine or calmative.

Skullcap is used for anxiety and to relieve pain from nerve injury.

“Dee Dee” is a spayed/ female lab mix approximately 10 months old and has a mircro-chip.

Dee Dee knows all her basic commands, gets along well with other dogs and children, and is very well behaved in her kennel.

Unfortunately, that has not been enough to find her forever home, because Dee Dee has been here for over 60 days. She’s a very sweet & loving dog and we are hopeful that she will find her permanent family, because she deserves it (like all wonderful dogs)!

Supplements such as glucosamine, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, B vitamins, inositol, and lipoic acid have also been proven beneficial for treating pain.

These supplements meet the NSAIDs halfway, thereby reducing the amount of conventional medicine needed.

Don’t forget that there is almost always a mental or emotional component to pain, too, so calming herbs can be extremely helpful. Agrimony works well for the dog that appears distressed due to pain and lavender, with its calming aroma, clears and calms the mind nervous from pain.

Finally, and most important, many of the natural remedies enhance healing, whereas conventional pain relievers typically retard the healing process.

However, it is still important to use whatever pain reliever works. Always talk to your vet about how to keep your best friend comfortable. Talk to a complementary practitioner about alternative methods of pain relief and healing. Never give your dog a human-grade medicine before clearing it with your veterinarian.
