Outdoor grilling summer safety tips Each year across the United States, more than 8,000 home fires start with outdoor grilling, but proper attention to safety tips can keep you safe this summer and beyond, Beaufort Fire Department leaders said. “In the Lowcountry, cooking outside on grills is something we do all year long, but especially in the spring and summer. That’s also when we see more accidents and structure fires resulting from the
grills,” said Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron. Nationally, four out of five families own a grill and barbecue at least once a week in the summer, but that number likely is a lot higher in the Lowcountry, Negron said. With cookouts and summertime fun ahead, Negron and Beaufort firefighters offered these tips for safe grilling: • Propane and charcoal grills should
only be used outdoors; • Place the grill away from eaves, porch overhangs or awnings, low-hanging branches and structures; • Keep children and pets at least three feet away from a hot grill • Keep the grill clean — and safe — by scrubbing off accumulated grease or fat from the grates and drip pan;

Midnight swimmer rescued in Beaufort River A 39-year-old North Carolina man is alive today because of a concentrated multi-agency Beaufort rescue that saved him from drowning in the Beaufort River around midnight last Thursday. The victim apparently entered the Beaufort River for a midnight swim near the Pigeon Point boat landing but may have misjudged the tide and current and quickly found himself in trouble, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said Friday. The rescue required assistance from the Beaufort Fire Department, Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire Department with a Jet Ski, Beaufort County EMS, SC Department of Natural Resources, the Coast Guard helicopter out of Savannah, Beaufort Police including an officer with his personal boat, and a good Samaritan at the Downtown Marina. As investigators have pieced it together so far, the man and his family were visiting Beaufort and decided to enjoy a late night on the waterfront. Near midnight, the man decided to go swimming. When he tired and found
himself fighting the tide and current, his female companion — who didn’t have a cell phone, firefighters said — drove their car and reported the situation to a nearby Beaufort police officer. As emergency responders arrived in the area, several could hear the victim in the water. Requests were made Marine Rescue, DNR and the Coast Guard to launch their water- and air-based rescue resources, Negron said. “We weren’t sure where the victim was in the river, which was he was moving, or which side of the river would be closest to him,” Negron said. “We needed everyone’s help.” About that time, a 911 call came in from a resident at Marsh Harbor on Lady’s Island, reporting a victim in the water. Officers on the shoreline in downtown Beaufort said the victim was still alive and seemed to be moving with the current toward the Woods Memorial Bridge. When rescuers finally saw the man, he was holding onto a concrete piling on the Lady’s Island side of the swing bridge, Negron said. The Jet Ski, DNR boat and
a personal boat belonging to a man at the Downtown Marina all launched. When they reached the man, he was too tired to put on the offered personal flotation device, but was able to hold onto it. Moments later, Negron said, the man lost his grip on the piling and floated away — fortunately, still holding onto the life jacket that was attached by rope to the rescuers. As the Coast Guard helicopter arrived on scene, the man was pulled into the S.C. Department of Natural Resources’ boat. Beaufort County EMS transported the victim to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment. “This was a dangerous situation for the man in the water, and it became a major effort by several cooperating agencies to locate him in the dark, in the moving river, and to engage a rescue operation,” Negron said.“Fortunately, the man survived, but we discourage anyone from swimming in our local waters after dark because of the current and tides, underwater obstacles that can snag an unsuspecting swimmer and other good reasons.”

news briefS County Channel airs tribute to Von Harten
The video, “River Rat: A Tribute to Skeet Von Harten,” will air on The County Channel Friday, May 31 at 8 p.m. Von Harten is a former chairman of Beaufort County Council, recipient of the Governor’s Order of the Palmetto Award and a retired, decorated U.S. Marine with a long list of honors for public service. Gary Kubic, Beaufort County Administrator, said the piece is a profile of one of the County’s distinguished leaders. “When a public servant who has accomplished as much as Skeet retires from public life, it is only appropriate to document his achievements. He worked hard to improve the quality of life for the people of Beaufort County and we are proud to share part of his story.” The County Channel is a service of Beaufort County government. It is carried on all cable services within the County and at the County website: www.bcgov.net. Programming may be accessed live or ‘on demand’ by clicking The County Channel logo on the home page.

Grilling
continued from page 1 • Never leave a lit grill unattended; • Never grill inside an enclosed structure such as a garage or shed; • Be sure the grill lid is always fully opened before lighting the burners; • If a grill hasn’t been used for several months, check the hose connections and burners; • Keep a fire extinguisher handy, and know how to use it; • Review family fire safety procedures at least twice a year, including what to do if there’s a fire while grilling. If a fire breaks out in your back yard, firefighters urge you to first call 911 before trying to fight it. “We’d rather
Open Monday - Saturday 10am till 5pm come deal with the fire and be sure everyone is safe than be called when the whole house is burning and people are trapped inside. That can happen with a grill fire that gets out of control,” Negron said. According to the National Fire Protection Association, each year 7,100 home fires involve gas grills and 1,200 home fires are connected to charcoal or other solid-fueled grills.

When someone else drives your car Your babysitter uses your car to drive your kids to the swimming pool. Your brother-in-law borrows your car for the weekend. You’ve given them your permission—but what happens if there’s an accident when someone else is behind the wheel of your car? “Generally it’s not a problem if they’re driving with your consent,” says Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president of Public Affairs and consumer spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute. “If it’s an occasional use—say I borrow your car to go pick up milk—and as long as permission has been verbally granted, you’ll typically be covered.” But borrowing a car under other circumstances, such as in these examples, may not be as clear-cut. (Coverage will depend on your insurer and your particular policy.) If someone drives your vehicle to perform a job, such as making deliveries or hauling materials, and has an accident, that claim may not be covered because the car was being used for business. If your adult child doesn’t live with you anymore and you’ve lent him or her your car as a primary transportation, you may not be fully covered if your child hasn’t been named the primary

driver on your policy. Typically, even if the person driving your car has his or her own insurance, your insurance will likely pay damages first if there’s an accident. The driver’s insurance may cover some of the personal injury or medical expenses, and it may supplement your plan if the accident maxes out your coverage. “When you have someone you employ, such as a nanny or a nurse who will be a regular driver, contact your insurance agent about your coverage,” Salvatore recommends. “He or she may need to be added to your policy.” Because the policy terms and state laws can vary widely, always contact your insurance agent before loaning out your car—or any other motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle, boat, jet ski, snowmobile, ATV or RV. “Any time you have a question about your coverage, call your insurance agent first,” says Salvatore. “You always want to let the insurance company know the circumstances. Get their advice.” “Don’t be cavalier about lending your car,” adds Salvatore. “If you know someone isn’t a good driver, think twice about giving your permission. Any accident they’re in could go on your insurance record.”

Wells Fargo donates to YMCA summer program
Wells Fargo of Beaufort, a provider of banking, mortgage, investing, credit card, insurance, and consumer and commercial financial services, recently donated $2500 toward the Beaufort County YMCA’s Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program.

The Y will work with Whale Branch Elementary School to identify students who would benefit from the summer learning loss prevention pilot program. “The generosity of Wells Fargo is very much appreciated,” stated Beaufort County YMCA CEO Michael Bostwick. “ Gifts like these help make the programs possible and enrich the lives and futures of so many of our children.” For more information, please contact the YMCA at 843-522-9622 or visit www. ymcabeaufortcounty.com.

GRAND OPENING IN BEAUFORT TINGLING? NUMBNESS? LEG PAIN? FOOT PAIN? Everyday we have more success relieving (the effects of) Neuropathy.
High Plank is an energetic pose that strengthens the muscles of your arms and core. It was one of the foundation poses of a vinyasa (flow) practice. Dandasana pose is very similar to the top of a push up. Stack your shoulders directly over hands. Spread your fingers out wide with your index fingers facing the front of your mat. Place your feet hip-width apart at the back of your mat. Press down through the balls of your feet and press back through your heels. Squeeze the muscles of your legs into the bone and hug your outer shins toward one another. Keep both
legs straight and activated. Tuck your tailbone and pull the pit of your belly in and up. Draw your shoulder blades onto your back. Create a straight line from your heels to the crown of your head. Find a gaze point (Drishti) about ten inches in front of your hands. Breathe! If you are still building upper body strength, this pose can be modified by bringing your knees to your mat. The alignment stays the same; maintain a straight line from your knees to the crown of your head. To add a greater challenge in Dandasana, lift one of your straight legs off the mat and hold it there for three or four breaths. Repeat on the other side. For more great poses visit us at Dancing Dogs Yoga in Beaufort, Bluffton or Hilton Head.

NOW It’s Your Turn for Relief! NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!
Do You Suffer From THESE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY?
That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.
• • • • • • •
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.
TIngling / Numbness Pins and Needles Hot / Burning Cold / Chilled Electric Like / Shocking Tightness / Vice-Like Swelling and Pressure
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY? Neuropathy has many different causes. The most common metabolic cause that we see in our office is in patients with diabetes. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy. As if the pain, numbness, swelling, burning, tingling, sleepless nights, balance issues, along with all the other symptoms that go along with neuropathy aren’t bad enough, approximately 86,000 Americans each year undergo amputations as a result of uncontrolled neuropathy. • • • • • • •

Assessing your breast cancer risk
BMH committed to improving the odds for patients predisposed to breast cancer By Perry Burrus, MD, FACS
Angelina Jolie’s recent revelation that she carries a gene mutation predisposing her to breast cancer has served as a wakeup call for women with a family history of the dreaded disease. Jolie chose to have a preventative double mastectomy after being diagnosed with BRCA1, a gene mutation that sharply increases a woman’s chances of developing breast and ovarian cancers. But BRCA1 and the equally dangerous BRCA2 are estimated to cause just 5 percent of breast cancers and about 10 to 15 percent of ovarian cancers. Only people who are likely to have an inherited mutation based on personal or family history are offered the BRCA gene test. But even if you’re not a BRCA carrier, you could still be at high risk of developing breast cancer. An alarming number of women with a family history of breast cancer don’t know they are predisposed to the disease. Those that do may not realize there are things they can do to reduce their risk. At Beaufort Memorial Hospital, we’re developing tools and programs to help women identify their risk for breast cancer so they can be managed and treated locally. Maintaining a relationship with trained specialists who can monitor your breast health over time is key to detecting
potential cancers early and starting treatment quickly, if needed. My partners and I have spent years managing breast surgery patients after surgery. Our goal is to Perry expand that service to Burrus include women who have not been diagnosed or treated, but who have been identified as being at high risk of developing breast cancer. Clinical breast exams and regular mammograms are important, but identifying true risk requires a deeper dive into a patient’s family and medical history and overall lifestyle. Beaufort Memorial’s Keyserling Cancer Center recently launched a free online risk assessment tool that the hospital promotes widely through its website, social media networks and community events to encourage women to answer questions that will evaluate and rate their risk level. (Visit www.bmhsc.org to take the selfassessment.) The online evaluation offers opportunities for women to proactively manage or weigh their risk based on their assessed level. Woman identified as high risk through the online assessment will be encouraged to complete a more comprehensive breast

cancer risk assessment. If you will like a more in depth assessment, answer “yes” when asked if you would like to be contacted and a breast care coordinator will call you and set up an appointment or you may call 843-522-5029 and ask to speak to a breast care coordinator. Those who are identified as having an increased level of risk should discuss the results with a primary care physician or schedule an appointment with a breast care coordinator for further evaluation. High-risk patients should be monitored more closely than the general population to try to catch cancer at an early stage when it’s much easier to treat. That could involve more frequent mammograms and clinical breast exams, as well as MRIs. Beaufort Memorial now offers same-day mammogram results at its Women’s Imaging Center and Bluffton Medical Services. For women with a normal screening, that means they can leave the office with peace of mind. Should an abnormality be detected, arrangements can be made immediately for further testing. Increased surveillance and hormone therapy may also be recommended for women at increased risk. Drugs like Tamoxifen and Evista have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in high-risk patients. Other recommendations to reduce your
risk are: • Stop smoking. • Limit your consumption of alcohol. There is no safe amount of alcohol. Even one glass of wine a day can increase your risk slightly, and the risk climbs with each additional drink. • Exercise. The more, the better. Studies have found that women who do an average of three hours of strenuous exercise a week reduce their risk of breast cancer by 20 percent. But even a small amount of physical activity may be helpful. • Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet. • Control your weight. A multi-disciplinary team of medical professionals, physicians and nurses from the hospital, the Women’s Imaging Center and Keyserling Cancer Center is developing plans for the comprehensive high-risk program. In the meantime, women who are identified as high risk can rest assured that Beaufort Memorial already has the resources and experts in place to develop a care plan that meets their specific needs. Dr. Perry Burrus is a board-certified and fellowship-trained general surgeon with Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists. Dr. Burrus sees patients both in Beaufort and Beaufort Memorial’s Bluffton Medical Services. He can be reached at (843) 5248171.

Learning to dance with bears By Martha O’Regan
If a great big bear were to walk up right now, without thought, your body would exhibit a survival response as adrenaline surges, muscles tighten, blood pressure increases, digestion and metabolism decrease and other well-orchestrated reactions occur so you can bolt. Once safe, you are then designed to respond with a “Whew, did you see that?” and your body moves into a rest and digest state where your blood pressure comes back to normal, digestion and metabolism resume, and your muscles soften as you release a heavy sigh of relief. However, as so often happens, another bear shows up. Obviously, we don’t have real bears walking into our homes or offices, but we do have other “bears” in our lives. They can be boss bears, family bears, nutrition bears, economy bears, media bears — anything that puts our body into a survival response of fear, anger, worry, guilt or upset. Our brain records each bear based on our perception rather than circumstance, sending the appropriate response of either survival or repair into the body. If we perceive a situation or bear as bad, or something to fear or worry about, the brain registers it as a threat to its survival and we immediately go into “fight or flight.” If we perceive that same situation with gratitude or as a learning experience, the brain doesn’t feel the need to defend itself

and can maintain its normal course of rest and repair. In our perfect design, our body is preprogrammed to run like a well-oiled machine moving between fight or flight and rest and digest throughout each day based on present moment needs. Yet, throughout life, before we learned to manage the bears — also called stress — we unknowingly created interferences in that programming, causing our body to get stuck responding to stored memory bears, creating a fight or flight response 24/7/365, with little to no time in rest and digest mode. Muscles can get “stuck” in a tightened state causing symptoms such as back or shoulder pain, headaches, TMJ syndrome or in its extreme state, fibromyalgia. For others, blood pressure is stuck in an increased state, getting labeled as high blood pressure. Digestion can get stuck in a decreased
state resulting in reflux, slow metabolism, weight issues, etc. Then there is adrenal fatigue which is the result of the adrenals getting “stuck” secreting adrenaline 24/7 from such emotions as chronic fear, worry, or anger creating exhaustion too severe to ever dream of running from a real bear. The simplest tool for re-setting the nervous system is to breathe. I can hear it now, “If I didn’t breath, I’d be dead. Duh!” True, but I’m talking about consciously breathing, deep into the belly, allowing all the lobes of the lungs to truly expand, then consciously using the diaphragm to exhale all the air out and repeat. Watch any baby breathing — their little bellies expand and contract without any effort because it is how we are designed. Somewhere along the line, when we start fighting bears, we begin taking short little breaths or in extreme cases, holding the breath. Over time, this creates a pattern of fight or flight
that feels normal as we move through life tense and gasping for air, until one day we find ourselves exhausted or in a full blown anxiety attack and have to go back to learning how to breathe. So, whenever you catch yourself holding your breath or breathing shallow, take a few moments to breathe deeply into the belly (permission to be chubby) then exhale with a nice heavy sigh. Conscious use of the breath can also help to break up those old stuck patterns that may be contributing to pain and fatigue. If nothing else, your cells will appreciate the oxygen. Note that when you begin breathing deeply, you may find yourself yawning more — this is your body seeking more of that yummy oxygen. Bears will continue to come and go, so you may as well learn to breathe and dance with them rather than fight or run from them! Live Well ... Have Fun!

Ali’s Attic grows as it helps clothe growing kids “This has been the love of my life; I’ve poured my heart and soul into this place ... It’s been very heartwarming to feel like you’ve given back.”
By Anne Christnovich
A child’s growth spurt can sometimes shrink parents’ wallets. But thrifty local parents know they can count on Ali Quillen to soften that blow. Customers browsing outside Ali’s Attic paused outside the door and gasped when they saw a high chair priced at $50. “It looks like it’s brand new,” an expecting mother said. Her fellow shopper checked the price tag several times as she agreed. Quillen smiled as she watched the conversation from behind the counter and said it was a perfect example of what her store is about. “Who wants to go to Walmart and pay $20 bucks for an outfit for them to play in the mud in?” The store sells clothes for newborns to pre-teens, as well as school uniforms, games, toys and changing tables, strollers and other baby equipment. Quillen has stacks of onesies for infants at 50 cents each, and an entire outfit for a toddler can be bought for less than $8. There also is a wide variety of brands, Quillen said, from Walmart to Strasburg. The store opened 14 years ago when she was pregnant with her daughter and running a salon. The inspiration to open Ali’s Attic literally appeared in her garage. “Everyone I knew kept bringing me stuff,” she said, referring to bags of hand-me-down baby clothes. “Eventually I decided I had enough to open a store.” Quillen started with a 300-square-foot space near
Ali’s Attic owner Ali Quillen Gilligan’s Seafood restaurant. Then store’s size quadrupled to Ali Quillen 16,000-square-feet when it moved to the building on the corner of Pigeon Point Road and Boundary Street four years ago. Ali’s Attic will be in an even bigger space starting Sunday. Her new location is on 1304 Boundary Street and has about 18,000-square-feet, Quillen said. Quillen has already been renting the new building for about seven months. She’s spent the time remodeling and painting the space — formerly occupied by The Studio — to give it the quaint feeling of a seaside cottage, she said. In addition to more space, Quillen is changing a few other things about the store. While about 90 percent of her incoming items are currently sold through consignment, she plans to instead just buy items from customers outright. The change, she said, is being made to put cash in the hands of customers more quickly and to eliminate the complicated consignment process from her business. Parents can sell outgrown clothes and immediately have some money to get the next size up. CarolinaAir UtilityAd
“I think truthfully it will just be better for both,” she said. The store will also eventually be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Regular hours are currently 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Customers, Quillen said, have been pushing her to open on Sundays because it’s the best time for one parent to get away while the other watches the kids. Ali’s Attic is the third business Quillen has had. She owned a photo shop on Hilton Head until 1992 and a salon in Beaufort until 2000. But Ali’s Attic, Quillen said, has been the business most dear to her heart. “This has been the love of my life,” she said. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into this place.” The reason, she said, is being able to help mothers who don’t have much money and seeing the children of her customers grow up. Customers, Quillen said, come from as far away as Hilton Head Island, Edisto or Hampton County. “It’s a great feeling to supply kids with clothes ... In this business we see the babies as they grow up and some come in at 13, 14, 15 years old,” Quillen said. “It’s been very heartwarming to feel like you’ve given back. 4/11/13

Local student graduates from School for Deaf and Blind “Deaf people can do anything in life” is the motto Kardeem Allen. The Beaufort resident will soon graduate from the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind where he played football, gained a competitive spirit, and learned to be part of a team. He’ll take those important skills with him as he attains a welding certification next year through the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind’s Career Preparation Program and Spartanburg Community College. After that, he plans to attend
the Rochester Institute of Technology, Gallaudet University, or a local community college. While attending the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind, Kardeem competed in varsity football, basketball, and track. He received an art award for creativity, a horse riding award, and a principal’s good behavior award. He enjoyed socializing in the school’s Bock Activity Center, playing pool with friends, working out in the weight room, and going swimming in the school’s

Local sets sail for Semester at Sea Ocean Classroom High School Semester students embarked on an educational voyage earlier this year in St. Thomas. For four months they will sail more than 5,000 nautical miles, visit a dozen countries and 45 ports of call, participating in field studies and service projects, while also maintaining a rigorous academic course load. As members of the crew, students quickly learn that success depends on teamwork, and that teamwork depends on mutual trust and respect. Dantzler Lewin from St. Helena Island was among those high school students taking part in the semester at sea. As soon as the ship sets sail, she becomes an island run by the crew aboard. Students are full participants in the operation of the ship, standing watch with the professional ship’s officers and crew and learning the timehonored skills of seamanship. Their individual lifestyles are tested by the strict resource conservation, long hours, and demanding physical and mental work required to sail a traditional schooner thousands of miles. Through diligence and quickly developed time-management skills, students balance their schedules to meet their watch rotations and academic responsibilities for the following courses: Marine Science, Maritime History, Applied Mathematics:

Navigation and Seamanship, and Maritime Literature. This course of study is designed to take advantage of the sea and the immediacy of the student’s experience. Students not only earn academic credit on paper, they live and experience an unforgettable education: they snorkel coral reefs; hike through rainforests; dissect freshly caught fish; express themselves through field journals, drawings, personal entries, music and poetry; learn applied mathematics through course
plotting and celestial navigation; and immerse themselves in the culture of the unique ports of call: cooking roti with Caribbean locals, dancing in the streets for Carnival, and building the foundation of a school for stateless orphans in the Dominican Republic. Students develop a global perspective, transforming from tourists to travelers who see foreign ports as places to gain knowledge and understanding. The 2013 Semester students will complete their voyage June 1 in Portland, Maine.

“The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” at ARTworks May 30-June 2: Four shows only, back by popular demand, all 37 Plays in 97 Minutes! “The Complete Works...” is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s plays, starring Heather Denardo, Matthew Donnelly & Michael Kane, produced by Palmetto Theater Xperiment and directed by J.W. Rone, written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess Winfield. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” was born when three comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes, by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.

RESTLESS HEART special presentation will be Saturday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. at USCB Center for the Arts “Restless Heart” uses a historic backdrop to tell the true story of Augustine of Hippo — one of the Catholic Church’s most beloved and well-known Saints. Its message is as timely today as it was only a few generations after Jesus walked on Earth. It is the story of one who pursues fame and fortune without a moral compass — and the changes that occur when events lead him to see the light. It also chronicles the collapse of the Roman world and how Augustine laid the intellectual foundations of what became Europe. Filmed in Europe, this new epic film is the first full-length feature movie about St. Augusti.

Two summer theater camps offered This summer, parents can keep kids physically active and mentally engaged by signing them up for the USCB Center for the Arts and Beaufort Children’s Theatre summer theatre camps now open for registration. Aspiring actors ages 7-11 are invited to participate in a two-week theatre camp from June 17 to 28 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The theme of the 2013 camp is “Oh the places you will go...” a Dr. Seuss inspired camp. Campers will engage in all aspects of musical theater while gaining self-confidence and the ability to express themselves as they learn basic acting skills, vocal instruction and choreography. The highlight of the camp will be the children’s creation of their own Broadway style revue. Camp fee is $250.
New this summer is a camp for ages 12- 15 called Theatrix, taking place from July 29 to August 9 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Campers will be working toward a public performance of “The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet” by Petret Loedel on Friday, August 9 at 7 p.m. A whimsical reinvention of Shakespeare’s tragic love story, complete with rhymed couplets, creative wordplay and fantastical machines — similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he ever had his way with the script. Camp fee $275, discount for early registration by June 15 is $250. To register, call the USCB Center for the Arts box office 843-521-4145. Campers must register in advance.

street music on paris avenue
Street Music on Paris Avenue is a free concert series that is a gift from the Town of Port Royal, produced by ARTworks, the arts council of Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands. At 6:30 p.m., Saturday, June 1, direct from Roanoke, Virginia, Another Roadside Attraction’s signature sound is equal parts gypsy jazz, vaudeville, circus funhouse, and riverboat steam, “rattled around in a boxcar for a couple thousand miles, served with sangria and sausages.” Garden & Gun magazine praises them: “Another Roadside Attraction brings a cabaret presence to the stage along with a fully acoustic potluck of instruments, including a fiddle, a banjo, a kazoo, a musical saw, a box o’ wrenches, a ukulele, and a made-from-scratch drum kit sporting an American Tourister suitcase in lieu of a kick drum. The sextet’s music is as distinctive and colorful as its look — beautiful, bizarre, sometimes eerie, and always fun.” Bring your chairs and dancing shoes. The rain location is The Shed in Old Village Port Royal. For more, contact ARTworks at 843-2792787, www.ArtWorksInBeaufort.org.

Common sense and the form based code By Jim Hicks, Former Lady’s Island Planning Commission Representative
The long awaited Beaufort County form based code has arrived and is available for public review and comment on the county web site. The title of the document is “Community Development Code”. It is designed to serve as the guide for introduction of a form based type of zoning for the unincorporated portion of Beaufort County. The City of Beaufort and the Town of Port Royal are in the process of implementing their own version of a “form based” code and for the most part the three codes appear to be in agreement. The new county “Community Development Code” is lengthy, complex and not an easy read. It has been reviewed by representatives of the local technical
community (engineers, architects, transportations planners, land use lawyers) who will have to work with the document as a part of their professional life. It is presently being reviewed by a committee of county council members and planning commission members. The County Planning Department is working with the Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee to insure there are no surprises when the ordinance is approved by county council. For the general public the entire document is available at the Beaufort County web site and does allow individual comments to be made on line. One of the objectives of the form based code is to promote sustainable walkable communities. The term “walkable” community has many definitions but is generally understood to be a community in which a resident can easily and safely walk to obtain most of the goods and
services needed. In municipalities this concept is logical and easily understood. In the unincorporated portion of the Beaufort County, with its wide range of land uses, there can be no one size fits all type of approach. Understanding this, Mr. Anthony Criscietello, Beaufort County Planning Director and his team of planners made a decision, early in the process, that transition to the new zoning code for the unincorporated portion of the county should include identifying: • Areas where high density is appropriate and walkable communities possible and utilize form based zoning in those areas. • Areas where high density development would be inappropriate and allow the present conventional zoning to remain in effect. • Community preservation areas, such as Lady’s Island, where portions for the property could benefit from a form based
type of zoning and the remainder should remain with its present of zoning. The effect of this decision on Lady’s Island is that only the commercial portion of the island (Village Center) and some of the adjacent residential areas along Sea Island Parkway will transition to the new code upon its adoption. Since this commercial corridor is a blended (county and City of Beaufort) governed area of the island it is only logical that a similar zoning be in effect to avoid zoning shopping. As to the rest of the island, Lady’s Island is being allowed the privilege of setting the pace for any further transitioning to the new type of zoning. A special “thank you” is extended to the Beaufort County Planning Department for adopting this common sense approach of limiting the use of “form based” zoning to those areas where the benefit is clearly defined.

letter to the editor Parking, signage an issue in Christensen Park in Pigeon Point I am writing on behalf of the Pigeon Point residents whose property faces the Christensen Park. To the best of my knowledge, the land for the Christensen Park was given by the Christensen family as an open space with the caveat that if it were ever developed it would revert to the Christensen family. In the last month the city has put eight “No Parking beyond This Sign” signs in Niels Christensen Park. Parks are not parking lots and the new signs de facto turn Christensen Park into one: a place where parking is legal! We residents whose property faces Christensen Park feel that this city action violates the spirit of the Christensen family’s grant. With one exception, we residents feel that there is no parking problem in the park. The public recognizes it as a designated park and do not generally leave their cars there any more than they would park in a cemetery or church yard.
There are currently 35 large old trees, two new trees and three new shrubs that have been planted by the Beaufort Council of Garden Clubs and the city. There is an attractive park bench that has been added, dedicated by the Christensen family. Over time, the park has become increasingly visually cluttered by signs. The erection of eight “No Parking Beyond this Point” signs is the latest such event. There are currently: three power/telephone poles, two “Stop”signs, four city street signs, three county road signs, one speed limit sign, one abandoned concrete road sign, three info (Pet Waste, Park ID, Garden Clubs) signs and eight “No Parking.” That’s almost as many signs as old growth trees! Some of the signs are required; most are not. I also noted on coming home a few minutes ago that there are three cars correctly parked in the park which is a very rare occurrence. People are actually reading the signs and saying: “Oh it’s not a park as I have always thought it was. It’s actually a permissible parking area. I can legally park there. Whoopee!” I predict that the edges of the park
will rapidly turn into rutted, polluted area because of this legal parking. For a short period during the baiting season, baiters do illegally park in Christensen Park. Normally, they leave their trucks and trailers “Nose in” to the park which means that they occupy the width of their trailers along the park frontage and thus the park can accommodate large numbers. What the new signs will do is allow them to park lengthwise along the edge of the park thus greatly lessening its capacity and once again, as in the past when “No Parking” signs were put up, will force the baiters to park their trucks and trailers on the verges of our properties where they plow up our lawns and shrubs. Without the signs the baiters simply “nose in” to the park and after the short season everything goes back to normal. The noted exception agreed generally with the majority position but pointed out that occasionally some have used the park as residential long-term overflow parking. This is a valid criticism that we residents will address and correct ourselves. Norman G.G. Kerr
LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Parking at U.S. Naval Hospital Beaufort should be more accommodating to veterans
Local former military veterans, who have registered with the Veterans Association, have the privilege of attending the VA outpatient clinic located at the Beaufort Naval Hospital. Many people greatly appreciate this. Even though some vets carry VA issued I.D. cards, similar to active duty and retired military, they are still required to leave our vehicles and present our credentials at the gate house building for passage. Our veterans date back to WW II. I have seen these and other handicapped vets struggle with walkers and canes to get their vehicle pass, sometimes in very inclement weather. This is OK, but then Joe Blow from Idaho — who may have never even worn a Cub Scout uniform — gets to cruise in the gates of Parris Island or the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, his automobile loaded with people, and he only has to show his driver’s license, proof of insurance and registration and never leave his car. Something is not quite right here.
Did you get a boot on your car parking downtown or is the traffic light on your street ridiculously slow? Or would you like to thank a stranger for a random act of kindness? Here’s your chance to sound off. Send your comments to LowcountryBroil@gmail.com and you could see them in the paper.

Celebrate Harriet Tubman’s River Raid anniversary On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman, acting as an advisor to Colonel James Montgomery, led a raid up the Combahee River freeing over 750 slaves. One-hundred-and-fifty years later, on June 2, 2013, a service will be held in Beaufort, South Carolina to commemorate Harriet Tubman’s Combahee River Raid. Harriet Tubman arrived in Beaufort, South Carolina in the spring of 1862
and served as a nurse, spy, scout, and seamstress. Tubman, with the assistance of a number of hand-picked Negro scouts familiar with the interior, gleaned considerable knowledge as to the location of supplies and the disposition of the slaves in the region. On the evening of June 1, three steamdriven gunboats with three hundred men from the Second South Carolina and the Third Rhode Island Battery
left Port Royal under the cover of darkness. Under Tubman’s leadership, Montgomery and his small force made their way to the plantations where Tubman and her scouts had identified Confederate warehouses and stockpiles of rice and cotton. On the morning of June 2, the troops set fire to several plantations, destroying homes, barns, rice mills, and steam engines, and confiscated thousands of dollars worth of rice, corn, cotton, horses, and other animals. Over 750 slaves fled to the Union boats. After returning to Beaufort, the newly freed Combahee slaves were temporarily lodged in a church where they were addressed by Montgomery and Tubman. An article published in the Boston Commonwealth in 1863 describes the raid as follows:“Col. Montgomery and his gallant band of 300 black soldiers, under the guidance of a black woman dashed into the enemy’s country, struck a bold and effective blow, destroying millions
of dollars worth of commissary stores, cotton and lordly dwellings, and striking terror to the heart of rebeldom, brought off near 800 slaves and thousands of dollars worth of property, without losing a man or receiving a scratch! It was a glorious consummation.” The Commemoration service will be held on Sunday, June 2, 2013 at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Beaufort. Historians believe that the Tabernacle Church is where the slaves were lodged and addressed by Tubman following the raid. The service will begin at 5 p.m. with Dr. Kate Clifford Larson, author of ”Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero,” as the guest speaker. The Harriet Tubman’s Combahee River Raid Commemoration service is a part of the Tabernacle Baptist Church’s 150th Anniversary Celebration. Tabernacle Baptist Church is located at 911 Craven Street in Beaufort.

Garden a Day 2013
he doyenne of garden clubs in Beaufort, The Beaufort Garden Club, will celebrate National Garden Week with their 19th Annual Garden a Day event. This weeklong event, beginning Monday June 3 through Friday, June 7, has become an anticipated tradition. National Garden Week has been celebrated for the past 18th years by The Beaufort Garden Club by organizing this rare opportunity for the public to visit the gardens of five Beaufort area homeowners. These gardens, rarely if ever offered for public view, are some of the loveliest examples of southern landscaping. Whether the gardens have been personally planted and tended by the homeowner or commissioned to a professional, they reflect the vision of the homeowner. As you stroll through these gardens, feel free to take photographs and talk to the homeowners. There are no plant labels; these are private gardens, but if you have questions about the plants, look for someone in a green apron. They are Master Gardener volunteers who work closely every year with The Beaufort Garden Club to make Garden a Day an enjoyable and enlightening experience. The tour is a gift from the Beaufort
if you go: 2013 garden a day schedule • Monday, June 3: 1908 Lenora Drive (near Parris Island Bridge) • Tuesday June 4: 5 Flora Circle Lady’s Island, Lady’s Island • Wednesday June 5: 94 Dolphin Point Drive and 84 Dolphin Point Drive, Cat Island • Thursday June 6: 305 East Street, Beaufort • Friday June 7: 511 Prince Street, Beaufort (Robert Smalls House) Garden Club to the people of Beaufort. There is no charge for this event. Gardens will be open from 9 each morning until

A special day at Crystal Lake Park By Rick Kurz, Vice President of Friends of Crystal Lake and Kristen Marshall Mattson, Environmental Educator, The Lowcountry Institute Recently, a group of 15 volunteers from the Master Gardener and LowCountry Master Naturalist Associations spent most of a day at the Crystal Lake Park for the purpose of taking an “inventory” of all the types of plants, birds, reptiles, fish and other creatures that live within the park’s boundaries. The trip was organized and led by Tony Mills and Kristen Marshall Mattson of The Low Country Institute which is headquartered on Spring Island. The intent of the county and the Friends of Crystal Lake group responsible for developing the park is to continuously monitor everything that lives in or exists at the 26 acre park so as to be able to educate future visitors to the Park about what they are seeing when they are walking its trails. Information gained from surveys like this will also help insure that future development of the property, into a passive park with a boardwalk and trails around the 7 acre lake, can be focused in such a way so as to not be disruptive of the natural habitat. This year’s survey expanded the species list which was started during a preliminary survey last summer. Over 120 different species of birds, plants, trees, reptiles and other creatures were observed and identified. Specifically, 33 species of birds were seen, 67 types of

trees/plants were observed along with 15 different reptiles, fish, and other “creatures.” These findings represent a significant increase over the numbers recorded in last year’s survey and the belief is that as more surveys are conducted in the future that additional species will be identified. Some of the more interesting species identified included the following: black racer snake, southeastern crown snake, sheepshead minnow, mullet, alligator, grass shrimp,
mosquito fish, ground skink, five-lined skink, red-jointed fiddler crab, wood stork (a federally endangered species), Cooper’s hawk, red-tailed hawk, osprey, least bittern, great crested flycatcher, eastern kingbird, great blue heron, tricolored heron, downy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, chimney swift, painted bunting, barn swallow, Eastern bluebird, and cedar waxwing. An extensive number of trees and other plants were identified and included
species such as sweet gum, live oak, loblolly pine, red cedar, hickory, water oak, yaupon holly, Southern magnolia, red bay, laurel oak, black willow, sassafras, flowering dogwood, bald cypress, black gum tupelo, coral honeysuckle, coral bean, fox grape, bracken fern, cinnamon fern, hawthorn, and Carolina jessamine. Over the course of the past year, numerous volunteer efforts have been focused on eradicating the invasive Chinese tallow tree, sometimes known as the “popcorn” tree here in the Lowcounty, and these efforts have been successful but much more work remains to be done because the tree is still present in the park area. This tree crowds out desirable native trees and limits a healthy vegetative understory growth. While these trees are still present today it is hoped that a successful eradication program will remove them completely. Water testing of the lake is in progress but early indications are that it is brackish because both salt water tidal flow and fresh rain water runoff enter the lake. Many of the plants and wildlife that were identified thrive in low salinity brackish water. A special note of appreciation is extended to all who participated in this survey effort and to the many volunteers supporting the on-going work to make Crystal Lake Park a reality.

My next new favorite wine By Celia Strong
Yep. Here we go again. Another new wine. Another new favorite. For me, at least. And a chance to learn a bit while we drink a bit. Life is good! So, off we go to Spain. It’s been a while, but summer warm and humid weather is tailor made for some of the wines we can find from Spain. After all, their weather in parts of their country is not that different from our weather here. And their types of foods, while maybe not exactly the same, tend toward lighter and easier to cook just like ours are this time of year. The fun part is we get to enjoy their wines, just with our foods. Yay! Because it’s been a while since we did a Spanish wine, I thought we could review some of what we probably covered last time we did do a Spanish wine. Of course, now, we all know more. But, every time we repeat some tidbit of knowledge, we might make it ours permanently. That is a positive learning curve, right? So, as review, let’s start with some information about Spanish wines in general. Spain is the third largest producer of wines in the world, after France and Italy. Interestingly, though, Spain, with just under 3 million acres planted with grapevines, has more acres of vines than any other country. The “technical” reason that they have more acres and produce less is due to low yields (a lot of old vines in Spain are still active, just making fewer grapes per vine), wide spacing between the vines in the vineyards, and dry and infertile soil in many vineyards. Spain is number nine in the world for wine consumption. The history of grape growing in Spain is at least as ancient as anywhere else. They had an abundance of native varieties on the peninsula, and there is evidence of grapes being cultivated back to between 4,000 and 3,000 years BC. The Phoenicians, around 1,100 BC, then the Carthaginians and then the Romans all had a hand in developing wine in Spain. This extra long history is partly because of Spain’s location on the Mediterranean; warmer weather and easy access to travel and nutrition from the sea all helped this whole area sustain early civilizations. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the Moors

conquered Spain. They were Muslims, and even tough several caliphs and emirs owned vineyards and drank wine, the sale of wine was outlawed. But, by 1364, after the Spanish regained control of their country, Spanish wines were being shipped to the rest of Europe. At times, over the years, exporting of wine helped the Spanish economy keep going. One of the best known of all Spanish wines is Rioja. (Sherry, a fortified wine from Spain, is another but we need This week’s wine comes to skip it today.) Rioja is a DOC wine from the bodega called region, made up of three different subregions — Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Dinastia Vivanco. The Rioja Alavesa. Many wines that are grapes are all estate labelled “Rioja” are blends of grapes from all three sub-regions. Wines from Rioja grown in Spain, with date back to 873 AD. This area is located Rafael Vivanco in northern Spain, where it benefits from a cooler, continental climate. overseeing them every Mountains in the area help protect the step of the way. vines from fierce winds and isolate them from storms. Most of the region is on a plateau, about 1,500 feet above sea level. from the barrel aging of the wines. The Yes, a bit cooler grows better grapes. It is influence of Bordeaux winemakers in believed the area was named for the Oja the 18th century had a lasting effect on River that flows through it. The soil here Rioja wines. Today, the typical bodega is clay based with chalk and iron. Rioja (the name for Spanish wineries) has wines can be red, white or rosé. About between 10,000 and 40,000 barrels. The amount of aging a wine gets is shown on 85 percent of them are red. Grape varieties for Rioja, red Rioja its label. There are legal levels of Rioja. And, because that’s where we’re drinking this week, are Tempranillo blended with these are for red Riojas. A wine labeled Garnacha (Spanish for Grenache), just “Rioja” is the youngest, spending less Graciano and Mazuelo (the Rioja than a year in barrels before it is bottled. name for Carignan). In recent years, A “Rioja Crianza” is aged a minimum some wineries have experimented with of two years, at least one in oak. “Rioja Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, too.

And, and still label the wine as Rioja have “Rioja Gran Reserva” is aged at least two been given to a few estates.

They made every year, and, because of the wait are heavier and more structured. More to recoup their expenses for these wines, New World style. A characteristic of any bodega has to charge more for them. most Rioja red wines is vanilla nuances In some ways they are like Champagnes
“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”
— not a vintage every year and more costly when they are. A quick look at the main grape variety, Tempranillo, in Riojas is worth the time. Since this variety is grown mostly in Spain, we don’t get a lot of chances to get to know it. It is a native to northern Spain. It is low in acidity and sugar content. That means the grapes it is blended with need to fill out these holes. Its wines are ruby colored, with aromas and flavors that include berries, plum, tobacco, vanilla, leather and herbs. Between the complexities derived from blending and the levels of aging, Rioja wines can be interesting for the wine scholars among us, delicious for the tasters and new favorites for the liberated, non-Cab, Merlot, Pinot Noir die hard drinkers. Or any combination of all that! Our Rioja comes from the bodega called Dinastía Vivanco. It is located in the Rioja Alta sub-region. The grapes are all estate grown, with Rafael Vivanco overseeing them every step of the way. The family vineyards include several sections of old vines, whose grapes are used in their best wines. They use a unique bottle shape, based on one dating back to the eighth century that they found in the bodega museum. Using this old bottle is one way the Vivanco family pays tribute to the history and heritage of Rioja. Of course, their style of wine does the same. Our wine is their Crianza. This wine is fermented at controlled cool temperatures, in French oak barrels. And, get this, it is 100 percent Tempranillo. Think maybe some of those old vines with more intense flavors are involved? A perfect chance to taste this variety, without other grapes hiding any of it, and see how good it can be. This wine was aged for 16 months in year old French and American oak barrels, and at least six months in its bottles before being released for sale. All at $17.99. For those of us who follow such things, this wine got 90 points from the Wine Spectator and, in their list of top one wines for 2011, it was number 59. For those of us who trust our mouths to tell us, they’re right. For me, I have a new favorite. Yay again, for another week. Enjoy..

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Hot feet: Protect your dog’s paw pads By Tracie Korol
Next time you take a trip to a big box store in the middle of the day, park on the far end of the parking lot. Slip off your flip-flops and walk to the store. Chances are you won’t get too far before you slip your sandals right back on, or skippy-tap over to a grassy area. Because asphalt is black it absorbs rather than reflects the heat from the sun. In fact, a study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine noted that 35 seconds of exposure, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to hot asphalt pavement could result in second-degree burns to the exposed area. That shouldn’t be surprising, given that on sunny summer days, the temperature of pavement can easily reach 300 degrees. For a dog forced to barefoot it over such a surface, the result can be painfully burned paw pads. Or, take off your shoes and hop up into the bed of your pick-up in the middle of the day. Chances are you won’t spend too much time up there, either. We prudently do not allow our toddlers to play on the slide at midday for fear of searing their little fannies, but we load our dogs into the bed of a pickup to go for a ride. Can you even imagine how painful it is to stand on what is essentially a hot frying pan? Notice, next time you attend one of the local festivals, how uncomfortable the attending dogs are as they wait patiently beside their humans. These dogs, while you may think are having a great time on an outing, are standing barefoot on hot pavement, sometimes

If you suspect your dog has a pad burn it is important to keep the area cool and clean. for long periods of time. While a dog’s paws are the toughest part of his skin, they still need protection from heat, just like yours do. A day at the beach is not much fun for your dog, either, especially if he is not inclined to get wet. Hot sand can scald paws. Even heading down the metal boat ramp for a family day at sea can fry Fido’s feet in minutes. Unlike obvious wounds such as lacerations, foot infections (fungal, bacterial or foreign bodies — like stickers and thorns), burned pads may not be readily apparent to the eye. That’s why pup parents need to be on the lookout for blisters or redness on the pads. Also, suspect a burn if you notice missing parts of the pads or they seem dark in color. Your dog may try to compensate for

the pain of a paw pad burn by limping, refusing to walk, or licking and chewing at his bottoms of his feet. If you suspect your dog has a pad burn it is important to keep the area cool and clean. As soon as you notice the problem (limping along on the road, lifting paws in rotation, excessive licking), flush with cool water or a cool compress if available. Sacrifice your cup of beer at the festival, if necessary. Get your dog to a grassy
area or, if possible, carry him. At first chance, examine your dog for signs of deeper burns, blisters and possibility of infection. Washing the feet with a gentle cleanser and keeping them clean is important. Bandaging can be difficult to do and to maintain (monitor and change often), but licking must be kept to a minimum, easier said than done. Some dogs will tolerate a sock for a few minutes but most dogs I know would rather chew off the sock and eat it. Lick deterrents (bitter sprays) may help reduce the damage caused by licking but many of my dog friends view any spray as a condiment. Best advice is to be mindful of hot surfaces — asphalt and metal (i.e. boat dock, car or truck surfaces). Put yourself in his place just for a few minutes; how would your bare feet feel? Walk your dog on the cool, shady side of the street or in the grass. Schedule exercise for early or late in the day or after a good rain. And while it may look silly and your human friends may razz you, lay down a wet towel for your Best Friend to stand on when grassy areas are not available. The best best friend your Best Friend can have is one who will be compassionate.

Does it matter that our cancer program is affiliated with Duke?
It does to Linda Arp, who lives every moment to the fullest. When Linda received a surprising breast cancer diagnosis, she turned to the Keyserling Cancer Center for treatment. Through an affiliation with top rated Duke Medicine, Keyserling patients benefit from Duke’s treatment protocols and access to clinical trials. That means our patients receive the very best in cancer care – without traveling far from home.
