oday, even the most inspiring words have a hard time reaching teenagers, who are plugged into an incessant bombardment of peer pressure, media hype and negative influences. One Beaufort group uses hip-hop and spoken word to break through all of the noise and nudge youth onto a path toward achieving their goals. Living Out Ur Dreams (LOUD) has a lot to say if the community is willing to listen.

Points of Peace “Not Just Giving Peace A Chance, But Bringing It Back In Style”: the artwork of stained glass artist, Ragtime, Marine Corps Vietnam veteran will be on display September-October 2011 at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center. Opening reception is Friday, September 2, 6 to 8 p.m.

This gallery show and sale is one man’s quest to share a vision of life without war. Ragtime, a stained glass artist living near Berkeley Spring, W.Va., began his Points of Peace in the fall of 2006. As a combat marine who fought in Vietnam, this work is his contribution to the effort to create a more caring world free from war. Each piece is a unique creation intended to remind everyone of the spirit of peace and is part of a numbered and cataloged series limited to 1,000.

“I am placing my love and understanding on a positive course so that all who come in contact with these peace signs will experience a feeling of love, hope and family, and together we will journey towards a more peaceful earth. Imagine, a world free from hate and the senseless need to control other human beings.” The medallions combine the universal symbol with glowing kaleidoscopic colors, and, variously, images of fighter

Chamber of Commerce restructures A restructured Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce will boost its ability to serve area businesses while also leading tourism and visitor marketing, chamber and tourism officials said.

In an overwhelming vote Thursday, August 25, the Chamber Board of Directors approved the reorganization and creation of the Tourism, Travel and Convention Division, formerly known as the Visitor & Convention Bureau.

Effective immediately, this division tackles tourism promotions, assists the hospitality industry in northern Beaufort County and operates the Visitors Center on Craven Street in downtown Beaufort.

“We are excited at the opportunities this brings and the efficiencies it will produce,” said Blakely Williams, president and CEO of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Despite a decision in March to split the tourism branch from the main chamber, the Visitor & Convention Bureau never operated on its own.

The Tourism, Travel and Convention

Division currently employs a division executive, two marketing administrators and a small team to staff the Visitor Center, which is located in the historic Beaufort Arsenal.

“One of the first things we’ll be doing is taking nominations for the Tourism, Travel and Convention Division Advisory Committee,” Rembold said.

The nine-member committee replaces the former Visitor & Convention Bureau Board and will continue to advise and audit the tourism mission priorities, he said. The majority of the seats will be representatives from the local resort and lodging industry.

“Our mission is to provide exceptional service to our business members and to create new economic strength through improved tourism marketing,” he said. “One area we are addressing is the overall marketing strategy, the execution and the results, so we can better leverage these precious public funds. We take this responsibility very seriously.”

Since 1984 the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce has been the

“Designated Marketing Organization” for northern Beaufort County. As such, it receives funding for tourism marketing and promotions from Beaufort County, the City of Beaufort, Town of Port Royal and the state. Those dollars are earmarked specifically for attracting visitors to the area.

“Over the years, we’ve seen a huge change in how we can most effectively attract tourists, visitors and future residents to our beautiful corner of the Lowcountry,” Williams said. “Our plan moving forward is to do an even better job, using multiple strategies to target our markets and better track our work.”

Under the new reorganization and bylaws adopted by the chamber, Bob Moquin, the first Division Executive of the Tourism, Travel, and Convention Division, is responsible for the creation of the marketing plans for northern Beaufort County as well as the budget creation and implementation. He serves alongside Williams as a non-voting ex-officio member of the Chamber’s Finance and Audit Committee.

Federal funds awarded for portion of rail trail The U.S. government has awarded a grant of $1,043,520 to help fund a 2 to 4 mile portion of Beaufort County’s Rail Trail project in a densely populated area between Laurel Bay Road and Ribaut Road.

The project is designed to convert a 13.6 mile easement owned by Beaufort County into a public bicycle and pedestrian trail. The easement runs along the former Yemassee to Port Royal Rail Road right-of-way. The grant requires a 20% match and the county is working with the city of Beaufort, the Town of Port Royal, and other groups to develop the trail and identify funding sources.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation will administer the grant, which came from the Transportation, Community, and System Preservation Program of the Federal Highway Administration. SCDOT will work with the county to incorporate the project into the Statewide Transportation Infrastructure Program, which is the state’s six-year transportation improvement, priority-planning list for all projects receiving federal funding.

Details about the Beaufort Rail Trail can be found at railtrailbeaufort. wordpress.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supporting a more bike friendly Beaufort

I was very excited to read about plans for Beaufort to improve road-sharing for cyclists and motorists. I have just returned from a month’s trip up North.

While there, I biked several days in different states. There were bike lanes on roads and also Rails to Trails routes. Last year I spent a month in California and Washington state. I did a lot of biking on that trip as well. In all of these locations there were many cyclists enjoying the trails and bike lanes. People of all ages, young and old, families, and individuals were out in large numbers.

There were also runners and walkers on these trails. I kept thinking that I wished Beaufort would become more bike friendly. This is a great way to promote family time together. It gets people away from the computer and all of the time spent playing games and other things on it. In addition, tourists will have one more reason to visit our beautiful city. Thank you all of the people helping to make Beaufort a great place to live and visit.

Need to improve education in Beaufort County

I would like to express that I agree strongly with Mr. Damgen regarding the ridiculous antics of Board of Education in Beaufort County. I am a Pat Conroy follower and also an advocate for my children and their education. Its is absolutely sick how this county deprives children of growth and knowledge and at the same time it is OK to hoard taxpayer money for a setup for failure. This county needs to face whatever their fears are and use the money to get South Carolina off the low education list. We need quality! I would like to support Mr. Damgen and I am quite ready to take it to our governor.

news briefS Recycling shows greater success than first realized

Newly analyzed data shows Beaufort County’s recent Electronics Recycling and Shredding Event saved more money than originally thought. Officials say the special event held August 6 by the County’s Solid Waste and Recycling Division collected 26.1 tons of electronics, which amounts to a direct savings of $1,992 in disposal and hauling costs. Beaufort County also saved $774 by eliminating the need for disposal and hauling costs of the 10.5 tons of paper collected, shredded and recycled at the event. The event diverted a total of 36.6 tons of material from the landfill. The county has scheduled another electronics recycling and shredding event November 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the county’s two public work sites located at 9 Benton Field Road, Bluffton and at 140 Shanklin Road, Beaufort.

County offices, courthouse closed Labor Day

All Beaufort County administrative offices, solid waste convenience centers, the courthouse and recreational facilities will be closed for the Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 5. The county will resume its normal operating hours the following day, Tuesday, September 6.

sign up your kids for quick start tennis Quick Start Tennis, also known as “10 and Under Tennis,” is a competitive play format that features modified equipment and courts, allowing kids to rally and play the game of tennis earlier than the expected advanced lesson training. With shorter and narrower courts, lower nets and lower compression balls, kids build the confidence and ability to cover the entire court.

LOUD

continued from page 1 Founded by Jamie Fleming and Mackenzie McGrew, LOUD is an arts and education based nonprofit that operates as a conduit for student and community success through projectbased instruction. LOUD uses slam style poetry, music composition and music engineering and production to empower its participants to overcome negative peer pressure, and encourages them to develop healthy values and positive attitudes and habits, ultimately leading to better decision-making skills.

Jamie and Mackenzie met at Rutgers University in New Jersey, and then moved to Beaufort, Jamie’s hometown.

Here the two realized the need for high school students to express themselves when they opened a semi-professional recording studio and saw the teens coming by, hanging out, learning and watching creativity happen. “Some kids had real social issues plaguing them, but once they came into the studio, they didn’t want to leave,” said Jamie, 30, LOUD’s creative director.

When the program started in 2009, they were housed at the Boys & Girls Club Teen Center.

LOUD runs on a year round schedule that offers afterschool programming to teens ages 13-19 in Beaufort County.

They target at-risk youth dealing with issues such as poverty, abuse, gangs, low self-esteem and no positive identity.

Last year 90% of the students participating in LOUD raised their high school GPA the equivalent of a full letter grade. LOUD students also received violence prevention training using the Mentors in Violence Prevention curriculum, administered by staff from Hope Haven of the Lowcountry, and created public service announcements regarding South Carolina’s lack of protocol for domestic violence in teen and same sex relationships. The series of video public service announcements called “I Count Too” can be viewed online at www.livingouturdreams.org.

“Being at the teen center, we saw immediate success, it was definitely a hit with our students — not just because we offered a recording studio which always lures the kids — but we have really solid programming that gears itself toward the holistic development of youth, academic achievement and violence prevention,” Jamie said.

LOUD students are learning how to record original music, compose and perform song lyrics, write and perform spoken word slam style poetry, analyze current popular music and current

events, create and maintain a functional recording studio, become better oral presenters, and think outside of the box.

Mackenzie and Jamie said they have been impressed with their students’ talent and courage. “They always come up with these ridiculous poems, and then the power to get up on stage and deliver it the way they do, it’s phenomenal,” Mackenzie described with admiration.

One student in particular was shy at the beginning, but really opened up, and has been with the program for two years. Jamie said, “Her mother called and personally wanted to thank us for the program, and said had it not been for LOUD, her daughter would not have found the strength and the power to really express herself and to stand up for herself.”

For the rest of the year, the LOUD Slam Poetry Team is working with slam poet Noel Scales, who was featured in HBO’s “Brave New Voices” documentary. The five students are training and will apply to compete on the HBO “Brave New Voices Competition,” July 2012.

Living Out Ur Dreams has also just expanded into Jasper County and is set up at the Boys & Girls Club in Ridgeland. Jamie, who works often at Ridgeland High School, said he saw a need for the program because there are not a lot of things for youth to do in that area. LOUD students from Beaufort will be trained to facilitate the Mentors in Violence Prevention curriculum for the Ridgeland site.

“In Beaufort, we were originally at the Boy & Girls Club Teen Center, but that closed, leaving us without a space to occupy,” Mackenzie, 29, said.

Their Capital Campaign 2011-2012 is focused on raising enough money to secure a permanent facility to host the LOUD program. The facility will offer instruction in spoken word slam style poetry, music production and professional music recording for teens.

As part of their fundraising efforts, LOUD is conducting “I Got 5 On It,” an Internet campaign that allows donors to give a minimum of $5 to support the

cause. Their goal is to raise $100,000 through online donations. To find out more or to support the campaign, visit www.livingouturdreams.org.

Mackenzie said, “Our hope is by 2012, we will have earned enough money to have a permanent space for the LOUD students here in Beaufort to come and work out of and continue the flow of students as the kids graduate and the new ones come in.”

Cataract surgery recovery: Part II You might be surprised at how good you feel and how easily you will be able to resume normal activities even the day after cataract surgery.

However, you should observe a few precautions during the first week or so, to make sure you avoid developing an infection or sustaining an injury to your eye while it heals.

Your eye doctor typically will prescribe antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection and anti-inflammatory eye drops to help reduce any internal inflammation. You’ll need to apply the eye drops several times daily for the first week during your cataract surgery recovery followed by less frequent administration for about one month.

Depending on the amount of postoperative inflammation you have, you may need the drops longer than a month, especially if you have diabetic eye disease or inflammatory disease of the eye. Make sure you use these eye drops exactly as prescribed.

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com Oral pain relievers such as acetaminophen may be prescribed, if needed. Typically, however, you should feel only slight discomfort after cataract surgery.

To help make sure your cataract surgery recovery is uneventful, also observe these tips: 1. Don’t drive on the first day.

2. Be careful walking around after surgery, and don’t bump into doors or other objects.

3. To reduce risk of infection, avoid swimming or using a hot tub during the first two weeks. Women should not wear eyeliner or mascara for one week.

4. Don’t expose your eye to irritants such as grime, dust and wind during the first few weeks after surgery.

5. Don’t rub your eye, which is a good idea even when you aren’t recovering from surgery.

Generally speaking, you should be able to perform these activities within a few hours of your surgery: • Computer work • Light TV watching • Showering or bathing For the best recovery possible, follow your doctor’s detailed instructions about how to protect your eye following the procedure. Usually these instructions, many of which are covered here, will be given to you as a handout that you can take home with you.

If you need cataract surgery in both eyes, your surgeon usually will wait at least two weeks for your first eye to recover before performing a procedure on the second eye.

Cataract Surgery Recovery and Typical Outcomes To better understand how well your recovery will progress, you first should know that cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States.

Also, technologies and intraocular lenses used for cataract surgery have improved significantly in the last decade or so.

Past studies show that: • Almost 96 percent of eyes that had no other problems such as other eye diseases prior to a cataract procedure achieved at least 20/40 uncorrected distance visual acuity, which legally is good enough to drive without eyeglasses or contact lenses.

• In all eyes, including those with pre-existing eye conditions other than cataracts, almost 90 percent of all patients had good outcomes.

• Fewer than 2 percent of eyes had sight-threatening cataract surgery complications.

Bringing sexy back

By Takiya Smith

Exactly who is this “sexy” and where did she go? Did “sexy” ever really exist and if so, how come she’s lost now? Did “sexy” run away or did I unknowingly chase her off? Can someone, anyone, please help me figure out how to bring sexy back?

Most of us, at some point and time, have heard or even used this cliche phrase to describe our less than appealing state of self-image. A few extra pounds of post-baby weight gain or maybe even

a triumphant, yet haggard battle with an illness, such as cancer, can trigger a plethora of emotions. These emotions can weigh heavily on our mental and physical view of whom and how we used to be. Vibrant, young, slim, curvaceous and sexually attractive are some terms that come to mind when you gather up one’s definition of what sexy truly is.

Yet today, I challenge you to go beyond the precepts of pop culture and explore, possibly even create your own sexy to bring back.

“Sexy” is more so a characteristic than it is a look. An air of confidence associated with one’s femininity that exudes class, sophistication and a Takiya little bit of a social Smith tease, if you dare.

Sexy, by my terms, has nothing to do with the act itself, but encompasses an individual’s style, taste and ability to

turn heads, drop jaws and silence a room without the use or exposure of the body.

It’s a language all in itself and I implore you to speak it loud, proud and bold.

Sure, clothing, accessories, beauty and body are key elements to improving upon bringing sexy back, yet if you take a deeper look within — beyond the skewed self-images and the endless covers of magazines — you may just find that sexy always existed and she never left your side. Could it be, in fact, that you actually left her?

The benefits of technology

By Pamela Brownstein

When it comes to technology, I am usually resistant to change. I don’t have a smart phone and I’m not on Twitter. For a long time, I didn’t have a microwave or cable and Internet. My car doesn’t have a GPS or automatic windows or locks. I don’t play video games and I still watch VHS tapes and listen to records. If it was up to me, I’d probably still be writing on a typewriter.

But I am slowly coming around to the benefits of technological advances.

I am discovering the awesome ways of my husband’s iPad, and I’m also in love with this little box that my fatherin-law installed called Roku that lets us watch almost any movie through Netflix.

I am also learning how much medical science and technology has shaped the experience of having a baby. There are so many tests and machines that have improved the quality of life, but sometimes the choices can be overwhelming.

It was especially hard between the 15-20 weeks of pregnancy when we had to decide whether or not to have a multiple marker screening: a blood test that detects the level of different substances in your blood, and together the levels of these substances show the baby’s risk (or lack of ) certain birth defects like Down syndrome.

We debated over the test. On one hand, it’s comforting to know everything is OK with the baby, but on the other hand, what if there is something wrong, what would we do then? Also, the screening could be a false positive that comes back abnormal but there’s actually nothing wrong.

On my go-to website for all things baby, thebump.com, the comprehensive week-by-week list of things to do includes: Schedule nuchal translucency screening. Schedule amniocentesis and CVS tests. What are these? Do I need to get them done? (For the

Pam’s P.O.V. Pamela Brownstein is a 5-foot-tall pregnant lady who loves Beaufort and hopes you will join her adventures in life, love and all the little things in between. Contact Pamela at theislandnews@gmail.com.

record, these are more comprehensive screenings that test for genetic diseases or birth defects.)

For many women, having these options can help detect birth defects early, and for others, having the results helps relieve months of worrying.

Fortunately, I am not in a high-risk situation, so my husband and I decided not to have the screening or other genetic tests done. We figured we are going to love our baby no matter what, so it was better off not to know.

But there was one thing we really wanted to know: the gender. The ultrasound machine is an amazing piece of technology, and one that I fully embrace. At five weeks and at eight weeks, the ultrasound allowed us to see the baby’s growth and confirm early on that everything was well in the womb.

Halfway through the pregnancy, last week, we went to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for a high-tech ultrasound that measures the baby’s progress and also reveals the sex. I could have stayed in that room for hours, just watching the little one inside me move around.

It’s incredible. The technician said it was like trying to take a picture of a bouncing ball, the baby was moving and wiggling so much. She took images of the heart, the head, other internal organs, the hands and feet … and then she showed us the part between the legs — no denying, Baby Brownstein is a boy! Joy, pride, excitement flooded over me at the thrilling news.

With any luck, he’ll grow up to be tech-savvy and won’t be exasperated every time he has to help his mom with all sorts of newfangled, high-tech contraptions.

Some expressions are best left unsaid

By Jack Sparacino

I’m no nitpicker. At least when it comes to speaking English, the only language I can handle, and that’s after studying French for a long time. That said, here are a dozen expressions we might reconsider and maybe even throw overboard (you be the judge).

1. “Allegedly.” We have a friend who uses this word all the time. It’s to cover herself in case someone later discovers that what she said wasn’t completely true. Allegedly.

2. “I was in the neighborhood.” OK, that’s great, but if you didn’t get to our house on the day you promised to come to do a repair, and you didn’t call to reschedule, your being “in the neighborhood” was nice but didn’t help us much.

3. “To be honest ...” Some people say this all the time as an introduction to a sentence. But do they want to suggest that ordinarily, or if they don’t say it, they are not honest? Generally, I assume that anyone I’m speaking with is being honest. But if they keep TELLING me they are being honest, I start to wonder about it.

4. “At the end of the day ...” I got tired of this one years ago, well before I left the corporate world. Now I’m no meteorologist, but it seems that at the end of the day we have NIGHT. If

Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in refereed journals in psychology and medicine. He is retired and now lives with his wife, Jane and their three dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.

people absolutely must emphasize their conclusion, “the bottom line is...” or “net net” still work fine.

5. “So I’m like ... so she goes ... so then I go ... and she’s like ...” Jeepers. How about we just go back to “I said, she said,” and forget about “going” anywhere or what we are really “like.”

6. “Let’s have lunch.” Let’s drop this one, too, much as I like having lunch.

How about we just make a specific offer, such as “How about we have lunch at Joe’s Place next Wednesday or Thursday?” Or dinner. Not breakfast, though, unless it’s a job interview or right before a fishing trip.

7. “Are you serious?” Egad. When we ask someone this question, are we serious? Do we expect them to say no?

How about a simple “wow” or “really!” or an old fashioned “yikes!”

8. “When I was your age ...” Stop right there. When you were their age, the color TV was a newfangled invention.

Or the personal computer. Or the cell phone that only allowed you to make calls. Or landline phones that only came in black.

9. “Make yourself at home.” OK, but imagine if someone had the nerve to

take this invitation literally. Do you really want them doing an inventory on the contents of your refrigerator or pantry and making sandwiches? How about poking through the medicine chest? Taking your boat out? Writing checks? Phoning your boss?

10. “Let’s stick to the facts.” OK, sounds good, but whose facts? And who verified them? Does a Google search count? What about you heard it from your Uncle Harry, the international authority on weed whacking?

(Allegedly.) Who’s in charge of all this fact checking?

11. My wife frequently refers to “that thing,” often without even pointing to it.

And I’m supposed to know what it means.

12. “Knock yourself out.” Whew, no kidding? With all this talk lately about the dangers of kids or pro athletes getting concussions from contact sports, I’m not so sure we should be recommending anything of the kind. How about, “Give it your all, Tom” or “try your best, Sally.”

Nah, too dull. Go ahead and “knock yourself out.”

Great. Now make yourself at home.

Just leave the medicine chest and the checkbook — and “that thing” — alone.

Attract informed, interesting customers.

Habersham welcomes The Green Room The Habersham Marketplace recently welcomed Jamie Leigh Wildridge and The Green Room to its village of restaurants, retail shops and services. The Green Room will be home to receptions, birthdays, bridal showers, anniversaries and special events, including afternoon tea.

A grand opening celebration, complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, will be held Friday, September 2, at 5:30 p.m. during the Marketplace’s

First Fridays event. Attendees will be able to take a tour of the space and sample some of The Green Room’s activities and offerings, complete with live music and a drawing to win an entertainment package worth over $500.

The Green Room, named for an area where entertainers gather before performing, aims to bring ambiance, music and food harmoniously together for all of its events. Weather permitting, The Green Room will utilize its Zen

Garden, located just outside the shop front, as part of its event space.

“Combining my expertise of event planning and entertainment in conjunction with my experience in catering is a dream come true” says Wildridge. “The Green Room will also work to compliment The Habersham Marketplace’s lush landscaping and ecofriendly reputation.”

Wildridge, a four-year Beaufort area resident, is also owner of Drysdale

Entertainment — a company that provides musical talent throughout the Southeast. She has spent the last 15 years coordinating events and providing entertainment for weddings, concerts and special events. Wildridge has also served as a Catering Director for a resort in Colorado.

The Habersham Marketplace is located at 13 Market St., located off of Joe Frazier Road in Beaufort. For more information visit www.habershammarketplace.com

Local Merry Maids owners acquire cleaning franchise in California Merry Maids owners Bob and Melina Cunningham announced today that they acquired the Merry Maids franchise in Gilroy, Ca. Combined with their Beaufort and Mountain View, Ca., offices, they now manage a staff of more than 50 people serving more than 800 homes in their three locations.

Cunningham started his first Merry Maids franchise 27 years ago in Mountain View, Ca. In 2007, he and his wife moved to Beaufort, where he purchased his second franchise license.

Cunningham added that he first came across the opportunity while paging

through a Nation’s Business Magazine back in 1983 during the initial technology boom in Silicon Valley.

“It was an exciting time back then, and Bob a friend and I were Cunningham looking for the right business opportunity to invest in,” said Cunningham. “As computer manufacturers and software developers kept husbands and wives busy at work day and night, we asked

the obvious question, ‘who’s cleaning their homes?’”

The Cunningham’s have been interested in the Gilroy franchise for the last 4 years. Their business partners in California, Mike and Jane Santos live in Morgan Hill, Ca., which is part of the Gilroy market. “Jane has been managing the Mountain View office since 2002 so it was a good business move for us to be able to acquire a Merry Maids office in her back yard,” said Cunningham.

“Merry Maids offers the best of both worlds — local presence with a national backing,” added Cunningham. With

more than 30 years in business, the Merry Maids brand has some to signify excellence in housecleaning, and we definitely aim to raise the bar in Gilroy.”

This latest news comes as no surprise to fellow franchisees, as Cunningham was honored just two years ago with the Dallen Peterson Founder’s Award at the company’s international conference in St. Louis. This award is the highest distinction a Merry Maids franchisee can earn. It recognizes the franchise owner who proves to best exemplify the highest quality in business operations, including customer and employee satisfaction.

local udc chapter awards scholarship

Andrea, Brianne and Brian Canaday with Barbara Wood.

On July 12, Beaufort’s Stephen Elliott Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy met at the Beaufort County Library. Chapter President Gladys Cousar opened the meeting by introducing Mrs. Grace Cordial, the library’s Historical Resources Coordinator, who explained the functions of the Beaufort District Collection, its research room and the library’s role in preserving local history for the fourcounty area, with a focus on Beaufort County. Mrs. Cordial provided the meeting attendees a behind-the-scenes tour of the Beaufort District Collection and research room. At the conclusion of the tour, President Cousar thanked Mrs. Cordial and announced that a donation to the chapter’s scholarship fund would be made in her name.

Later, Second Vice President and Scholarship Chair Barbara Wood introduced this year’s Chapter Education Scholarship recipient, Battery Creek High School graduate Miss Brianne Canaday, who read her winning essay.

Sharing the event were her parents Brian and Andrea Canaday. Miss Canaday started her freshman year at Newberry College in August.

FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT MORGAN PORTER FAMILY Morgan Olivia Porter celebrated her 3rd birthday August 24. What made this a different sort of birthday is that Morgan is in Children’s Hospital at MUSC in Charleston awaiting a donor heart. She contracted a virus that attacked her own heart and is now surviving on a temporary pumping device. Morgan is the daughter of Maj. Robby and Sarah Porter of 58 National Blvd. on Lady’s Island.

Robby and Sarah have rented a place to stay in Charleston and have many added expenses. A spaghetti dinner will be held Monday, Sept. 12 from 6-9 p.m. at the Cat Island Grill and Pub. The cost will be $10 per person. Proceeds will go to the Porter’s to help defray expenses. Please call 524-4653 for more information.

Maj. Porter had just returned from his fourth deployment out of the Marine Corp. Air Station two weeks before Morgan’s becoming ill. Morgan was a very active kid who they took to the pediatrician with what was thought to be stomach virus. Thank goodness their pediatrician, Dr. Coleman at Beaufort Pediatrics, picked up the subtle signs that something might be wrong and sent them up to MUSC. Her

condition quickly degraded, and she was immediately admitted to the Pediatric ICU averting cardiac arrest. She was diagnosed with severe cardiomyopathy.

A virus she got months ago literally attacked her heart, even though she appeared to be fine. Her body and heart just compensated until it couldn’t anymore. Medicine did not work, and she was placed on an ECMO machine (heart and lung bypass) for a week to give her heart a chance to recover on it’s own.

That did not work, and the only option now is a heart transplant. Since ECMO is not long-term, she had surgery for a Berlin Heart-which performs all her heart function until a donor becomes available.

Maj. Porter is with squadron VMFA251 at the USMC Air Station in Beaufort.

voted “best dentist” in the island news every year

WHAT IS YOUR RISK TOLERANCE? The most important thing to know about investing is that it involves risk. In fact, all investments carry some degree of risk. Even if you hide your money in a shoebox under the bed, there is still a risk that it might be stolen or that its value will decrease over time due to inflation. The best thing to do then is learn how to potentially minimize the risk, and make good judgments based on your individual risk tolerance. Here are some tips to help you identify your risk tolerance so you can make smart investment decisions.

First, identify your investment goals. Do your goals include retirement, college funding, or a major purchase, such as a home? Then determine your time frame for each particular goal.

Generally, the longer the time frame, the more risk the investment portfolio can absorb, because there is potentially more time to recover from the ups and downs of market cycles. That means that your age and the length of time until your retirement might be a factor when you determine what types of investments to include in your portfolio.

Time, however, is not the only indicator of your own personal risk tolerance. There are other important factors such as: your ability to tolerate stress, how much you worry about your finances, how much savings you need to have in the bank to feel comfortable, and how your financial decisions affect your family.

Experts advise people to have at least six months worth of income on hand to tolerate cash flow emergencies like job loss or illness. When determining your risk tolerance for investing, the most important thing to consider is what is needed to keep your financial home safe. After that, your individual time frame can influence the decision of whether or not you can afford the investments with a little more risk.

It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone.

Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

Can the da Vinci robot really shorten recovery time?

Just ask Kathleen Linn, who simply did not want the weeks of “downtime” she expected while recovering from major surgery. Kathleen was thrilled to learn the physicians at Beaufort Memorial use a state-of-the art da Vinci robot surgical system for gynecologic procedures, which enables the surgeon to perform the most precise, minimally invasive procedure available today. That means less pain, less scarring, and days — rather than weeks — of recovery.

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

Let’s go for a ride!

For most dogs, the words “go for a ride?” elicit the thrill of the hunt, the excitement of adventure, special time with Best Friend and possibly a snack all rolled into one. How we orchestrate that ride is what will keep it a joy-filled activity or turn it into a tragedy that will haunt for years. The good car ride gets you and your dog where you want to go, safely. Whether through legislation or education, vehicle safety is ultimately up to you. It is your job to protect your Best Friend. Our dogs can’t protect themselves.

Using a crate is a terrific option for car safety. Not only does it protect your dog from injury in the event of a crash it keeps him secure and contained just in case you do crash. The high-impact plastic airline crates are the best.

They won’t collapse on impact unlike wire crates plus they will protect from flying debris and broken glass. Buckle the crate into be back seat/cargo area of your vehicle to prevent it from flipping or shooting forward.

A handy trick is to cushion the bottom of the crate with an old yoga mat, doubled or tripled up.

Not only does the mat grip the floor of the crate, it gives your pet Four on The Floor confidence.

Another great option is to secure your dog in the back seat with a dog seat belt. Available at pet stores or online, these set belts are designed as harnesses

BowWOW!

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

with padded chest protectors.

These are secured onto the car’s seat belt and most will allow your dog to sit, lie down, or even stand, but otherwise keep your dog in place.

Small dogs appreciate booster seats so they can see out the window or otherwise “help” you drive. (You know how they are.) Find one that attaches to the car seat, strapping to the headrest and is equipped with a tether to attach to the seat belt harness. A dog friend of mine, a distinguished rough coat Jack travels in full comfort and safety in a matching plush booster seat and faux Sherpa-lined harness.

He also has goggles in case he wants to scent the wind. Too cute and very safe.

Pet barriers are made of steel and either bolt into the car’s framework or wedge in position with tension springs.

They are intended to keep your dog contained behind the front seats. While these make keep Reynaldo from wandering around the car or crashing through the windshield in case of

a crash, a barrier doesn’t prevent other disasters. Reynaldo may still become a projectile upon impact or may be a danger to you and emergency personnel attempting to help you and your family. Seat belts are a better option.

And what about the dog that loves to hang his head out a partially opened window?

Don’t do it. Dogs have been known to flatten themselves like cockroaches to squeeze out a window opened only a couple of inches when what’s outside is more interesting than what’s inside.

If your dog is riding En Crate, then a window lowered an inch or so, will give your dog the opportunity to scent the oncoming breeze. But better, if you feel you’re depriving your dog of one of life’s pleasures; indulge him in another of his favorite pastimes once you reach your destination. A tongue-dragging game of fetch or a long run in the waves will be a safer reward for a car adventure. Plus, he’ll be a safer, healthier dog for it.

BOOK GIVES HUMOUROUS LOOK AT DOGS’ LIVES Local author Pearce W. Hammond announces the publication of “Listen To Me,” a book that gives a humorous glimpse into the lives of dogs from their point of view and answers many of the questions that have been ‘dogging’ people for years, such as: Can dogs write poetry? What do dogs think about during the day? Do dogs have wisdom? What are their concerns and what do they want most from people?

Can people learn from dogs about their own health? How do dogs feel about cats, fireplugs, garbage cans, toilets, and many other things! This book is a must-read for every dog owner and dog lover who wants to experience the therapeutic effects of laughing. The amusing stories and anecdotes that dogs give you about themselves in this book will leave you laughing long after you have finished reading it. For more about the book, visit www.pearcehammond.com.

PET OF THE WEEK Peanut is a 3 year old Collie mix that was found stray. He gets along great with other dogs. Citizens who visit the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and Control to turn in an animal or look for a lost pet may do so anytime between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Those who wish to adopt an animal must do so between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The shelter is closed on Sunday.
