held something special for

everyone. "I want to

drive a cement

truck," proclaimed

f i v e - y e a r - o l d

William Chiulli

from the cab of

the Southport

for kids of all ages, the day gave a

behind-the-scenes peak into the

careers of pilots, truck drivers, fire

fighters, law enforcement agents,

military services, sanitation crews,

construction workers, ani-

mal trainers, and

more. "It's a great

opportunity to

interact with the

services which

keep the commu-

nity running -

Progress Energy,

the police and fire

departments, the

Coast Guard - they all

came out to meet the kids," said

Chad Murray, visiting from Wake

Forest with his daughter Skylar.

jobs and get them excited about the

future." The event showcased over

75 exhibitors and attracted 1,400

attendees of all ages.

Summer time is the perfect time

to lighten up your taste buds and

table with crisp wine choices. Want

something light and refreshing that

will pair perfectly with all of your

summer salads and seafood dishes?

Deviate from the boring

Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios

and discover a well known secret.

Try a Pinot Gris!

Pinot Gris is a mutant clone of

Pinot Noir and has been prevalent

in the Burgundy Region of France

since the middle ages. It's a white

wine with clean, crispness that cap-

tures a summer day on the palate,

making it an interesting and cre-

ative choice

The United States' sweet spot for

Pinot Gris is found in Oregon.

However, Pinot Gris is starting to

pop up all over the place, even here

in North Carolina

Sample more than one from dif-

ferent vineyards and countries to

decide which fits your taste and

menu selection best. You can find

Pinot Gris in most wine locations.

Quality and price differs. Check

out your local wine shop or The

Grape & Ale, on Oak Island for

more detailed information. Here

are a few selections of Pinot Gis'

that can be found there.

2011 People’s Choice Awards Celebration



Dosher Memorial Hospital,

Southport, NC, has been awarded

a three-year term of accreditation

in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

(MRI) through the American

College of Radiology (ACR). The

ACR accreditation of Dosher's

MRI service completes the hospi-

tal's year-long goal to gain accredita-

tion in all of its diagnostic imaging

modalities. In addition to MRI,

Dosher has received ACR accredi-

tation of its Computed

Tomography (CT), Nuclear

Medicine, Mammography, General

Ultrasound, Vascular Ultrasound,

and Breast Ultrasound. Also,

Dosher has received accreditation

of its Cardiac Ultrasound service

from the Intersocietal Commission

for the Accreditation of

Ecocardiography Laboratories

(ICAEL).

The ACR, headquartered in

Reston, VA, awards accreditation

for facilities for the achievement of

high practice standards after a peer-

review evaluation of the practice.

Evaluations are conducted by

board-certified physicians and med-

ical physicists who are experts in

the field. they assess the qualifica-

tions of the personnel and the ade-

quacy of facility equipment. the

surveyors report their findings to

the ACR's Committee on

Accreditation, which subsequently

provides the practice with a com-

prehensive report.

"Full accreditation of all of our

imaging modalities is a great

accomplishment, making Dosher

Hospital a leader in the Brunswick

County area in achieving full

modality accreditation," said

Connie Pitman, director of diag-

nostic imaging at Dosher. "Our

process of gaining full imaging serv-

ice accreditation began about a year

ago. We got the final notice of our

MRI accreditation the first of June

this year." At some point in the

future, all facilities will more than

likely be required to have full

accreditation of their imaging serv-

ices, says Pitman. "We felt it was a

priority to demonstrate the quality

of our services to our physicians

and the patients who put their

trust in us."

According to Pitman, Dosher

Hospital is not only serious about

the quality of its imaging programs,

but also the qualifications of the

individuals who provide imaging

services at the hospital. "We hold

our imaging staff to the highest

quality standards," she said. "Our

Radiologic Technologists are regis-

tered by the American Registry of

Radiologic Technologists (AART),

which is the world's largest creden-

tialing organization that seeks to

ensure high quality patient care in

radiologic technology. Also, all of

our diagnostic medical sonogra-

phers are registered with the

American Registry for Diagnostic

Medical Sonography (ARDMS),

which is the recognized standard of

excellence in the field of

Sonography. Dosher requires all

imaging staff to achieve their

respective registries within the first

six months of employment, and

they must maintain it thereafter,"

Pitman added.

All Dosher Imaging Modal i t ies Become Ful ly Accredited

(ARA) - Summer weather means

storm season, and summer storms can

pack a powerful punch. Atmospheric

changes can spawn severe thunder and

lightning storms, tornadoes, hurri-

canes and other extreme weather -

often without warning.

June is the official start of hurricane

season. Even if you don't live in a zone

at risk for hurricane damage, you

should prepare for severe summer

storms. Here are three steps to help

you protect your home and family from

extreme weather this summer:

Step one: Have a planAn emergency preparedness plan will

help everyone in your family know

what to do if a severe storm strikes your

home and community. Your plan

should detail the safest place in your

home to ride out a storm, and multiple

evacuation routes if staying home

would be unsafe. It should also include

a meeting place outside the home in

case family members are not all togeth-

er when a storm strikes. Everyone

should know the address and phone

number of this emergency location.

Store a copy of your emergency plan

in a safe place along with copies of

important paperwork, like insurance

documents, financial information, etc.,

so that you can easily access them if

you have to evacuate.

Step two: Create a storm kitPack a backpack, or plastic bucket

with a lid, full of nonperishable food

and bottled water, a weather radio,

flash light with extra batteries, a first

aid kit, cash and important docu-

ments. Store the kit in a safe, easily

accessible place and make sure every-

one in the family knows the impor-

tance of taking the kit along in case of

evacuation - but only retrieve it if it's

safe to do so. You can find more infor-

mation on building a storm kit at

www.greathurricaneblowout.org.

Step three: Protect your power supplyPower outages often follow on the

heels of a storm, and every year mil-

lions of homes without residential

backup power are left without power

for days -- and sometimes weeks. A per-

manent standby generator can ensure

your home has power in the event of a

significant, extended power failure.

Generators are not just for people in

remote areas, either. Anyone with

young children or older folks at home,

and even home businesses, will benefit

from the security of a generator.

A standby generator, like those from

Kohler, is permanently installed out-

side the home, much like an air condi-

tioning unit. It runs on propane or nat-

ural gas and connects to existing gas

lines. You can incorporate one into

your home whether you have an exist-

ing house or are building a new one.

When the power goes off, the genera-

tor automatically turns on, usually

within 10 seconds of a power loss. You

can use it to power critical appliances

and systems in your home, such as

lights, furnace, air conditioners, refrig-

erators, sump pumps and a home secu-

rity system.

Generators range in output from 8 to

125 kilowatts. If you only need to

power a few key appliances, an 8- to 17-

kilowatt generator should meet your

needs. If you need to keep your whole

house powered, a larger generator is

required. A generator dealer or

licensed electrical contractor familiar

with standby generators can help you

determine the right size for your needs.

You can learn more about residential

backup power and standby generators

at www.KohlerSmart-Power.com.

Southport, home of Zeetlegoo’s Pet &

People Store, is a very

dog friendly town.

Not only do many

local business owners

bring their dogs to

work with them

(think Mike the

Bulldog at Stewarts

Hardware, and

Timber here at

Zeetlegoo’s), but they

also allow people to

bring their dogs into

the store to shop. In

addition to shopping,

there are trails, parks

and restaurants that

allow dogs. The fol-

lowing list of estab-

lishments is by no means a comprehen-

sive list of all Southport businesses that

are pet friendly, but it shows how in this

small coastal town, dogs are welcomed as

part of the family.

A favorite shopping place for Timber is

Lowes Home Improve-ment. He espe-

cially enjoys the Garden Center where

the Sales Associates usually carry dog

treats. Stewart’s Hardware is also a fun

doggy destination with wide aisles and

an outdoor garden department. During

one visit to Stewart’s, Timber was fasci-

nated by a bucket of young goslings, flap-

ping their little wings and making honk-

ing noises just like his Grunting

Migrator toy.

The downtown section of Southport is

also very pet friendly. Several massive live

oak trees provide shade along parts of

Moore Street and North Howe Street,

and of course Franklin Square Park has

some of the finest specimens of live oaks

around. The Franklin Square Park is

host to plays and musical events, a large

Arts and Crafts Festival during the 4th

of July Festival as well as other events

throughout the year. Timber has attend-

ed a few events in Franklin Square Park

and was thankful for the extensive shade

the trees provide.

A quick hop, skip and jump across the

street is Spike’s Dairy Bar, where you can

cool off and satisfy your sweet tooth with

ice cream and frozen desserts, and get a

fresh bowl of water for your canine com-

panion. As you wander through the

downtown shopping

district, there are

numerous wooden

benches in case you

and your pooch

need to take a time

out from shopping.

Last September, the

state’s rule on the

presence of animals

at food service estab-

lishments was

revised to allow dogs

in outdoor areas of

restaurants as long

as they are physically

restrained, do not

pass through any

indoor areas of the

food service establishment, and do not

come into contact with the food, or food

preparers. An establishment’s owner can

decide whether or not to allow cats and

dogs in their outdoor areas. Here in

Southport, a few restaurants have decid-

ed to allow you to bring your pooch.

Slainte’ Irish Pub has a large outdoor

seating area. Fishy Fishy Café has a mag-

nificent view overlooking Southport’s

yacht basin. Their

outdoor rustic patio

bar boasts live music

on the weekends in

case your pup has a

love of music. Taylor

Cuisine Cafe &

Catering has their

outdoor pet friendly

seating area on North

Howe Street in the

heart of Southport.

And if you want to

get out with your dog

and get some exer-

cise, there is the

Southport City Pier

and Riverwalk Trail.

The Trail begins near

the handicapped-

accessible City Pier

and heads west along

Bay Street and

rounds the small bay

of the yacht basin

before winding back

to a boardwalk on a small peninsula.

Wooden signs mark the Trail which fol-

lows the Cape Fear River’s edge.

Riverwalk Trail is located adjacent to

the Southport Waterfront Park, where

pet friendly amenities include a water

fountain, a large grassy area and poop

bag containers. Humans can enjoy the

park benches, two covered picnic tables,

and swinging benches. It is a great place

to sit and bird watch since the Park is fea-

tured on the North Carolina Birding

Trail. In the Spring, flocks of white ibis

can be seen flying overhead as they

return to their breeding grounds on

Battery Island, located in the mouth of

the Cape Fear River. Battery Island is the

site of North Carolina’s largest gathering

of breeding wading birds. Herons,

egrets, and ibises flock to the island by

the thousands each spring.

Regardless of where you take your dog

in Southport, all dogs should be people

and dog friendly, and on a leash. Be cer-

tain to have the dog’s ID tags and rabies

tags on the collar at all times. In addi-

tion, bring some bags for clean-up

because accidents happen. -- Rae S.

Many citizens are utilizing

golf carts in neighborhoods for

short distance

travels. Both gas

powered and

electric golf carts

are being used

for this local

traffic as a more

cost effective

and energy effi-

cient mode of

transportation. In

order for these golf carts to be

operated on any public street,

road or highway, they must be

registered with the Brunswick

County Sheriff's Office.

An application must be com-

pleted and the golf cart will be

inspected by the Sheriff 's

Office. The Crime Prevention

Unit has been

visiting local

communities to

inspect and reg-

ister them on

site. This

process seems to

be convenient

for the local citi-

zens.

If you live in a neighborhood

where there are abundant golf

carts that have yet to be regis-

tered within the county, please

contact Sgt. Bert Reaves at 910-

253-2745 to schedule a

Registration Date in your com-

munity.

Those of us living in coastal com-

munities are certainly not strangers

to the significance associated with

the date of June first. The official

start to the hurri-

cane season

brings with it a

flurry of public

service announce-

ments, television

meteorolog i s t s

running special

hurricane seg-

ments during

their newscasts,

and the phrase "be prepared" comes

up more often that you might even

expect it to at a Boy Scout jam-

boree.

If you are like most beach veter-

ans, you think way back when

about that storm that blew a few

things over and caused some very

inconvenient flooding about 10

years ago, and go about your daily

activities without much more of a

thought. After all, when a REAL

storm starts heading toward us,

there will be time to prepare and

react, right?

That may be true for hurricanes,

but Brunswick County is also sus-

ceptible to wildfires, tornadoes, and

let's not forget the hazardous mate-

rials that are transported via ship

and truck or the nuclear power

plant in Southport. How prepared

would you be to evacuate your

home if given fifteen minutes

notice to do so? Do you know what

to take with you and where you

would go? Do you have a plan?

Here are a few basic things to con-

sider and plan for with your emer-

gency preparedness checklist:

s Medications - If you require

medications, be sure to have an

ample sup-

ply on hand

and take

them with

you if you

need to

evacuate.

s Vital

Records -

Keep your

vital records together in one place

and in a safe container so they may

be gathered up quickly.

s Disaster Supplies - Have a dis-

aster supply kit of basic essentials

which you can use whether you

evacuate or not.

s Pets - Be sure to have pet sup-

plies on hand. If evacuating with

your pet, take food, medication,

and be sure to transport them in a

pet carrier.

s Communications - Designate

an out of town contact for family

members to reach out to in the

event they are separated.

So this year, let hurricane season

serve as a reminder to all of us of

the realities of the world in which

we live, where things can change at

a moment's notice. We must truly

be prepared to keep ourselves and

our families safe. To learn more,

you can visit www.brunswickes.com

or www.ready.gov.

County Emergency Services Director

Be Prepared Not JustFor a Hurricane



says, "The Brunswick County

A i r p o r t

Commis s ion

has always

wanted to uti-

lize the facility

for functions

like this."

Franklin, a for-

mer CIS board

member, was

instrumental in

ensuring safety

precautions were taken and traffic

to Oak Island flowed freely. He

added, "The Commission believes

this is a great way to support CIS

and hopes to grow the

event in years to come."

The event would not

have been possible with-

out the support of CIS

Board members, staff,

volunteers and their

families. Sponsors

included Cumulus

Broadcasting, ATMC

Wireless, BEMC, Gregory Poole

E q u i p m e n t

Co., Kidsville

News, The

B r u n s w i c k

Students from

the CIS Teen Court program par-

ticipated as face painters, game

coordinators, and clean-up crew.

The Southport-Oak Island Kiwanis

and the St. James Fire

Police made sure park-

ing was safe and accessi-

ble. To learn more about

On Saturday, May 21st, eight

Brunswick County 4-H TiLT

(Teens in Leadership Training) par-

ticipated in a photography and

presentation workshop. 4-H teens

that participated, included John

and Dillon Bernheisel, Kenan

Bridges, Will Gauldin, Janzen

Jones, Sammi Lawrence and John

Macon and Savanna Michaux.

TiLT (Teens in Leadership

Training) trains 4-H teens, to plan,

lead and execute the Summer Fun

Camps, with the assistance of 4-H

staff and a handful of volunteers,

through fun and informative work-

shops held during the school year.

The photography workshop was

led by Frank and Stacie Walter of

Time 2 Remember Portrait

Studios, Bolivia, NC. The teens

learned to operate the 4-H cameras,

in order to capture special

moments during the 4-H Passport

to Adventure, Summer Fun camps,

this year. They hand made a spe-

cial piece of equipment to use for

lighting with still shots and also

learned how to adjust ISO's for

indoor and outdoor photography

as well as learned how to take

action shots. They did all this by

the 4-H motto, "Learn By Doing!"

Frank and Stacie did an awesome

job leading our teens!

The presentation workshop was

led by 4-H alumni Dorothy Conley,

a rising senior at UNCW, who has

used her college training and years

of 4-H experience to train many in

the art of public speaking. She

gave an informative, thought pro-

voking workshop. The teens

learned correct presentation for-

matting, how to dress to impress,

dos and don'ts and much, much

more. She was also on hand to

review several of the 4-H teen's pre-

sentations and give them informa-

tive feed-back.

Our next two workshops will be

held in June. The teens will be Red

Cross First Aid and CPR certified

and learn team work, by participat-

ing in a high and low ropes course

at Coastal Horizon's in

Wilmington. Our 4-H Summer

Fun Programs are due to start,

Monday, June 13th. For more
