Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling will recognize contributors to date to the ongoing Beaufort 300 fundraiser.

For a $300 investment in Beaufort’s future, donors’ names will be featured on a permanent historical monument in the Waterfront Park. Corporate sponsorships also are available. For more information and to sign-up for Beaufort 300, visit www.cityofbeaufort.org.

Beaufort was founded in 1711 by the English, although its beginnings date back to Spanish explorers in 1514. Beaufort was named for Englishman Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort (1684-1714), one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina. It was on Jan. 17, 1711, that Beaufort’s formal charter was created.

Now, 300 years later, the party’s about to start… Southern Graces is creating a special birthday cake for children of all ages attending the Beaufort Birthday party. The cake will feature the Tricentennial logo.

And, in keeping with any good birthday party, guests are encouraged to make and bring a birthday card for Beaufort with their dreams and desires for Beaufort’s next century. Additional paper and pens will be available at the Beaufort 300 table to record birthday wishes for the next 100 years. Selected birthday cards will be featured on the Tricentennial section of the City’s website as well as on the Beaufort Tricentennial Facebook page.

Throughout the Monday party, New South Shirts, the licensed vendor for Tricentennial wear, will sell logo T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and other items under the pavilion. Items can be viewed and purchased at www.newsouthshirts.com.

“Beaufort and the military have a long and historical association,” said Erin Dean, chairwoman of the Beaufort Tricentennial Committee. “It’s only fitting that on Beaufort’s 300th birthday, we find a way to salute the city’s history and its military connection. You can’t beat the Parris Island Marine Corps Band for entertainment value!”

For more information, join Beaufort Tricentennial on Facebook or visit www.cityofbeaufort.org.

Students wishing to participate in the high school sailing program do not need to be members of the yacht club. Currently, Beaufort Academy and

Beaufort High School are the schools that have kids sailing and traveling to participate at regattas. The High School Team Sailing has been the brain child of two yacht club members, Sue Hamilton and Lisa Mazzeo. Both of these women have been instrumental in the birth and early success of the program, and coaching support has been provided

by Robert Bowden during the fall and winter season. As a result of their efforts and the support from other Lowcountry area sailing teams, the yacht club has been chosen to host the first area High School Regatta of 2011.

This type of sail boat racing is held on small courses close to shore. Typically, the racing is close, action packed and

the proximity to shore makes for great viewing from the club dock.

The Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club will be open during the event to anyone who wants to watch the racing. It’s usually pretty easy to identify those involved in the event. If you have any interest in this program please feel free to call 522-8216.

On December 4, 2010, the Nu Delta Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority introduced nine young ladies as their 2011 Calendar Dolls in a pageant held at Traditions, Parris island. The Calendar Dolls are middle

school aged girls in schools in Beaufort, Jasper Counties and Rincon, Georgia. Proceeds from the Miss Calendar Doll contest are used towards scholarships to achieving members of the graduating area high schools in Beaufort and Jasper counties; enriching activities for youth and community service projects. The calendars and program booklets were produced and made available to supporters of the sorority. Nu Delta Omega Chapter, a graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. has worked with middle school aged girls since its inception in 1980.

Beaufort County has invested more resources in planning than any other county in South Carolina. Several watershed events have occurred over the county’s 30 year commitment to planning that illustrates this strong commitment to a quality future. Each of these events produced results and sometimes unintended consequences that set the stage for new planning initiatives. As the county launches its latest initiative, a full embrace of a concept called New Urbanism through the use of a Form-Based Code (FBC), it may be helpful to step back for a moment and look at how we arrived at this point in planning for growth in Beaufort County.

Protection of the environment is a top priority

In 1969, Beaufort County rejected a major industrial plant in favor of an environmentally cleaner resort industry. Developments such as Sea Pines were proven economic success stories, and county visionaries realized a choice had to be made between the two potentially incompatible industries. A conscious decision was made to ensure the county would follow a path toward clean development and environmental protection.

What we have is worth keeping In 1983, the Town of Hilton Head

Island incorporated in order to exert greater control over its future as a resort community. � e town soon adopted a Land Management Ordinance that instituted “nature blending,” a concept developed primarily by landscape architects with the goal of creating physical development that respected environmental context and supporting ecosystems.

Growth must be guided Beginning in the 1980s, the

obvious economic success of clean resort development on Hilton Head motivated the county to follow suit by adopting standards for environmental protection, corridor development, and planned communities (known as planned unit developments, or PUDs). However, rapid growth in

the 1980s and 1990s, primarily on Hilton Head Island, created new concerns about traffi c congestion, water pollution and displacement of traditional communities. In 1997, the county responded by adopting its fi rst comprehensive plan with emphasis on environmental quality, historic preservation and protection for traditional communities.

Rules are necessary for guiding growth

Beaufort County’s 1997 comprehensive plan became the basis for a new ordinance to govern development, the Zoning and Development Standards Ordinance, which was adopted in 1999. � e new code enacted a controversial recommendation to reduce density in rural areas, a strategy that would further several objectives: reduction of infrastructure costs by preventing “leapfrog” development; prevention of environmental degradation caused by sprawling suburban development; protection of traditional forms of higher rural density as well as new conservation subdivisions; support for municipalities wanting to adopt tenets of New Urbanism by redirecting higher density growth to urbanizing areas; and a reduction in the number of zoning districts to allow for more fl exibility for uses within districts.

� e post-comprehensive plan era � e county adopted numerous

other initiatives recommended by the comprehensive plan, including the Rural and Critical Lands program and stormwater management best practices. � e former resulted in the acquisition and protection of tens of thousands

of acres of natural habitat and scenic area. � e latter led to establishment of a stormwater management utility, another pioneering initiative in the region. As the county instituted its wide-ranging planning program, the Town of Bluff ton annexed tract after tract of undeveloped land in an eff ort to exert even more control over development, with the goal of creating quality communities and minimizing adverse impacts such as excessive traffi c and water pollution. At the same time, in northern Beaufort County, the Town of Port Royal adopted a New Urban zoning overlay for its historic core, one that essentially constituted the area’s fi rst form-based code.

A regional plan In 2007, the elected leaders of

northern Beaufort County determined that a need for a joint eff ort was required to cope with the challenge of ever increasing growth. � e result of that eff ort was a Northern Regional Plan and from that plan evolved a decision to embrace New Urbanism and replace existing county and municipal zoning codes with a form-based code. Over the past 25 years, New Urbanism has matured from a modest set of 13 urban design concepts into a major planning paradigm. Conceived in the early 1980s by architects working mainly in the private sector, it fi rst emerged as “traditional neighborhood design.” Subsequent refi nements and initiatives expanded New Urbanism beyond neighborhood and town planning into a theoretical model for regional development. New Urbanism is not

Form-based code: � e next step in Beaufort County planningBy Tom Wilson

Continued on page 5


There’s an old song that I can’t help but hum as today’s so-so economic news, mixed up with whispers of good things to come, spread across our media. Remember “Deja Vu”? Remember the recession of the eighties?

Well, many business people do. Stories of thousands of unemployed auto, steel, construction and other heavy industry workers up north flipping burgers, unloading trucks, driving cabs and mowing lawns were commonplace. Times were tough back then too, yet many businesses managed not only to survive, but recovered cleaner, meaner and more successful than ever.

How did they do it? Seeking better opportunity during that downturn, hard-pressed workers and business owners between Detroit and Buffalo (more affectionately referred to as the Rust Belt) bailed out into the welcomed warmth of Southern hospitality. The result? A breath of new life, energy and wealth pumped into areas exhausted from trying to resuscitate the moribund traditional industries such as tobacco and textiles.

Today’s mega-recession will also have its cleansing effects. And those businesses that make it through will actually be better prepared than before to take on the next decade.

As a so-called marketing guru, I at times have to play the role of “Pollyanna in Hell.” A cheerleader in the face of looming doom. Instead of waving pompoms, I wave new strategies. Instead of throwing the bomb, I preach pressing forward one yard at a time.

So without further adieu, here are some quick pointers for you business owners or managers, to help you get through the worst of it.

Three helpful tips to help you come out on the other end of all this with your chin up ... not belly up.

• Cut overhead. Make an appointment with your accountant and question everything from rents, advertising to pay raises. Trim fat from all sides. Cuts in your personal salary may also be in the offing. Invest any excess capital in secure short-term investments until experts say it’s OK to borrow it.

• Develop an emergency and then a long-term marketing plan to get new business. Whether you consider a public relations, advertising, or direct sales approach, new business and a greater market share is a must. Cut-backs without aggressive future planning mean that your company could begin to cannibalize itself. Living on its assets. Slowly eating itself into oblivion. After studying why some companies appeared healthier than others after the last downturn, experts agree that marketing through a down period rather than playing catch up after one, was a major factor in their success.

• Be conservative, not cheap. Be aggressive without being flamboyant.

Remember that the free market system is indeed cyclic and slow periods are necessary to weed out inefficiencies and build stronger tomorrows.

new to Beaufort County; developments designed using some of its early standards include New Point, Habersham, Port Royal Village, and Beaufort Town Center. Significantly, the county population now represents a market of sufficient size to attract more mixed-use developers if zoning and development standards facilitate such practices.

Form-based code The FBC will eliminate current zoning

districts and replace them with a smaller number of districts corresponding to a “Transect” of six basic land use patterns. Within each of those districts, a wide range of uses is typically permitted, provided they conform to appropriate design s p e c i f i c a t i o n s . Existing single-use subdivisions would presumably be exempted from FBC standards until such time as they might be ripe for redevelopment, or “retrofitting.” There are multiple advantages to developments created under FBC standards: they produce fewer automobile trips thereby reducing regional traffic congestion and infrastructure costs; they create vibrant, interesting places; and they establish comfortable environments in which to walk and bike, thereby strengthening a sense of community, reducing crime, and creating opportunities to exercise and grow old in place.

The FBC will unquestionably benefit Beaufort County in its historic urban areas. Those areas will be rezoned to reinforce their historic mixed-use development patterns. The FBC will also be a welcome enhancement to current corridor development standards, particularly if it produces incentives for designated nodes with higher density and a mixed use character. Hopefully, such advancements would create new walkable communities and one day support viable public transit.

Application of the FBC in rural areas will be much more challenging and will require a special effort to preserve rural character and protect lower income residents from displacement. Ill-considered development in areas currently designated for rural land use could adversely intrude upon the fabric of traditional communities in those areas. Theoretically, the regional plans for northern and southern Beaufort County should prevent unintended consequences by intelligently replacing current zoning with Transect zoning. However, an understanding and

appreciation of many years of thoughtful efforts to preserve rural character should guide the process as it moves forward.

In summary, FBC is a major advancement in the progression of innovative planning in Beaufort County. However, it is not a silver bullet that will resolve all planning

challenges. While New Urbanism now has considerable cache and attracts many acolytes, it also has serious limitations. Underlying New Urbanism and infusing its practice is an implicit precept of design determinism, a belief that the design of the built environment is the principal determinant of community character. In the end, however, human behavior affects the physical environment more than design elements shape the human experience, a fact that has not yet been fully endorsed by New Urbanists. Ultimately, I believe, as do many academic critics of New Urbanism, that physical design is more appropriately placed within a larger, more conceptual category, such as “landscape urbanism” or “urban ecology.” Form-based code is the latest innovation in the evolution of planning concepts to guide growth in Beaufort County and to preserve those special qualities of the Lowcountry that we all love. It won’t be the last.

In 2007, county leaders developed the

Northern Regional Plan. From that plan evolved a decision to embrace New

Urbanism and replace existing county and

municipal zoning with a form-based code.

Dr. Gene Grace is a graduate of Wofford College and Emory University School of Dentistry. He has provided state of the art dentistry in Beaufort for 38 years. He has also been very active in our community and his church. He and his wife, Beth, a former County Council member, have been married for 39 years and have two daughters, Chilton Simmons and Katherine Hefner.

Dr. Katherine Hefner is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina Dental School. She and her husband Ashley, an architect, are also involved in Beaufort. They have two sons, Vann and Ford. Katherine most recently was co-chair of St. Helena's Church Tour of Homes. Dr Grace and Dr. Hefner have been here for a long time and will continue to live and serve Beaufort. "It's important in our minds to give back to this wonderful community that has been good to us," says Dr. Grace.

Why choose our practice? We have always been on the cutting edge of dentistry. Drs. Grace and Hefner have been trained at the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the foremost cosmetic post-grad school in the world.

Both dentists have been using lasers for five years.Dr Grace eliminated silver fillings from the practice 12 years ago. Some of our cases can be viewed on our website, www.genegrace.com.

Our staff is the greatest. Terry Johnson, one of our hygienists, has been in the practice for 26 years.

We feel it's important to cover after-hour dental emergencies for our patients. Many a weekend, we're at the office with dental emergencies (i.e. athletic injuries to children).

Our field of expertise is general dentistry. We do refer some procedures to specialists as we feel the patient should be in the hands of someone who does that procedure day in and day out. For example, you deserve more than a few weekend courses when it comes to having implants placed.

Our staff will work with your insurance to obtain your maximum benefits, many times resubmitting claims if we feel you've been treated unfairly. We have a finance plan where payments can be made with no interest for as long as a year. Dentistry doesn't have to be out of your budget.

Three tips to aggressively improve business in 2011


Each year, Oprah Winfrey hosts a show sharing her “Favorite � ings.” I thought that would be a great idea for a column and have asked friends and neighbors of Royal Pines to send me their favorite things. When I say Oprah shares, I mean she gives one of each “thing” to her audience members. Not so in this case ... sorry!

“Our favorite things would be celebrating the Christmas and New Year season decorating our home, the joy of shopping for a needy family, the loving and true friendship of our friends, and the joy of our grandchildren Grace, Matthew and Owen that it brings. Oh, we love dancing and the loving

companionship of each other.” Nancy and Dick Steeves

“My favorite things in Royal Pines are book club, subbing in Bunco, enjoying luncheons and parties with friends (hosting some, too!), Books Sandwiched In, and especially the general friendly climate of neighbors out here in Royal Pines.” Kathy Adams

“Get a Kindle. I did and love it. I can now read in bed at night without turning the pages, and without having to hold the book up so I get pains in my arms. I can download books for a better price than having them shipped from Amazon.com and can read them much faster since I can adjust the print to be as large as my eyes need! One drawback, if my husband reads in bed, too, I have to

wear earplugs so I don’t get disturbed by the crunching/swishing sounds of the magazine pages when he not so gently turns them.” Marisa Sherard

“I can vouch for Oprah’s favorite moisturizer Hope in a Jar. I’ve been using it for a long time and swear by it. My favorite thing about Beaufort is its natural beauty and the well maintained landscaping downtown and in the public spaces. It is a pleasure showing it to out of town company. Since moving here from Buff alo (which was the butt of many jokes, undeserved) pride of place is a favorite thing for me.” Marianne Hamilton

“� at’s an easy one for me because my favorite things aren’t ‘things.’ It is the kindness and the warmth of friends that I have made in Royal Pines.” Maura Baglione

“It has occurred to me that my greatest joy is when I hear any one of my BB’s giggling.” Maryanne Bender

“Neighborhood fun when Royal Pines families get together. Most recently, a favorite thing is the joy on neighbors’ faces during Christmas caroling around the neighborhood. A second favorite thing is Royal Pines in bloom in the spring; we look forward to its arrival!” Royal Pines HOA

My favorite thing to do is entertain family and friends. First up this year, our longtime New York friends, Gary and Diane are celebrating their 40th anniversary on January 17th we plan to have dinner at Saltus and enjoy the festivities at the 300th Beaufort Anniversary at the Waterfront Park.

If you have a suggestion, please contact me at [email protected].

� e grounds of Marshlands, a historic view on Beaufort’s waterfront, will be the site of the 11th annual oyster roast sponsored by Historic Beaufort Foundation January 21st, 5:30 to 10 p.m. Open to HBF members and the general public, the event will feature a traditional oyster roast, chicken gumbo, beverages and dessert catered by Reeves Outdoor Catering and music by the bluegrass band of Beek Webb and the Sea Island Ramblers.

� e annual oyster roast serves to foster fellowship in the preservation community while gaining new members and funds for the Foundation’s preservation and museum activities. In addition to preserving and protecting historic and cultural sites and advocating for the National Historic Landmark District, HBF operates the 1804 Verdier House, the only historic house museum in Beaufort.

Marshlands, circa 1814, is listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places and was built by Dr. James Robert Verdier. It has been in the

W.B. Harvey family since the early 20th century.

Tickets are $50 per person, and reservations must be made for 5:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. servings. However, the grounds and the bonfi res will be open to guests throughout the evening. � e bar opens at 5 p.m. Tickets will not be sold at the door and must be purchased by January 15. Tickets may be ordered and charged to a credit card by calling the offi ce at 379-3331 or online at www.historicbeaufort.org. � e offi ce is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Historic Beaufort Foundation to host annual oyster roast

Historic Beaufort Foundation will focus its 2011 lecture series on topics directly related to Beaufort’s history beginning January 24 with “African Americans in the Civil War” by Joseph McGill, Jr., a program offi cer with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Civil War reenactor. To be held at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street, the program is 6 – 7 p.m. and will be preceded by a reception at 5:30 p.m.

Beaufort was the site of the fi rst slave regiment mustered into the service of the United States during the Civil War, the First South Carolina Volunteers, by Gen. Rufus Saxton, commander of Union forces in Beaufort. Just a year after the Union occupation, Saxton called on abolitionist � omas Wentworth Higginson, to command the troops. � e neighborhood which developed behind the National Cemetery on Boundary Street after the war was named Higginsonville in his honor.

McGill’s program, sponsored in part by � e Humanities Council SC, is an overview of the service of the 180,000 African Americans who served in the Union army and Navy. Prior to Saxton’s action, some free blacks were mustered in New Orleans and blacks

were being recruited in Kansas. On January 19, 1863, Higginson wrote, “Today, for the fi rst time, I marched the whole regiment through Beaufort and back, the fi rst appearance of such a novelty on any stage.”

McGill, a graduate of South Carolina State College, previously worked on St. Helena Island at the Penn Center. He is the founder of “I” 54th Massachusetts Reenactment Regiment based in Charleston and is frequently seen on television and in programs related to African Americans in the Civil War.

Open to HBF members and non-members, the monthly lecture series features a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 5:30 – 6 p.m. Programs are 6 – 7 p.m. followed by audience questions and are held the third Monday of each month.

A three-course dinner at Saltus River Grill is off ered at $19 per person for attendees at the lecture. Admission to the lecture is $15/$25 per member/member couple respectively, and $20/$30 per non-member/non-member couple respectively. Seating is limited; call 379-3331 to make reservations. Call Saltus River Grill directly to make dining reservations.

South Carolina art collection: THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOICE

Lowcountry residents and visitors will have the opportunity to view works by African-American artists who are among the state’s best-known and widely celebrated practitioners beginning January 20, 2011 in Beaufort. The African-American Voice exhibition runs through February 28 at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts Gallery, 801 Carteret Street. An opening reception is planned for Thursday, January 20 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. Ken May, executive director of the South Carolina Arts Commission will be the honored guest at the reception.

Coordinated by Harriett Green, visual arts director at the South Carolina Arts Commission, the exhibition includes 26 pieces of artwork in all media from the State Art Collection. The pieces are by 19 African-American artists who range from self-taught, outsider artists like Sam Doyle, Leroy Marshall and Dan Robert Miller, to academically trained artists with established careers such as Leo Twiggs, Arthur Rose and Tarleton Blackwell.

“A number of these artists are

legendary as arts educators as well. Their influences and contributions extend beyond image and object making,” said Green, who sees the show as an opportunity for area residents to learn more about the contribution of African-American artists in South Carolina.

A preview of The African-American Voice artwork is available online. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit USCB website for information about other activities planned in conjunction with the exhibition.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort is a senior institution of the University of South Carolina system serving the southeast coast of Georgia and South Carolina. The university’s two campuses, located on the waterfront in historic Beaufort and at the gateway to Hilton Head Island in Bluffton, serve a diverse student body of 1,700. USCB offers students an exceptional place to learn and live in an environment focused on growth, preservation and opportunity. For more information about the University of South Carolina Beaufort and its arts programs, please visit www.uscb.edu or call the Office of Advancement at 843-208-824

Preservation Tree Care merges with F. A. Bartlett Tree Expert. Michael Murphy, President of Preservation Tree Care recently announced the merger of his company with the F. A. Bartlett Tree Expert company. Bartlett Tree Expert has locations throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. Murphy indicates that one of key reasons for the decision to join Bartlett Tree Expert is the ever increasing challenge of obtaining and incorporating the latest techniques and research into a small private residential tree service business. In that regard, a professional attraction of Bartlett Tree Experts is the fact that they operate one of the largest tree laboratories in the United States in Charlotte, North Carolina and this merger gives him and his team access to their research. Michael wants to insure his customers that although there will be some administrative changes the services will continue to be provided by the same folks (he, Colin, Derreck and Kersty). We wish Mr. Murphy, who is a long time member of LIBPA and a recognized expert regarding residential tree services, every success with the merger.

Wild turkeys on Lady’s Island. Recently three wild turkeys were observed in the Country Club Bluff community strolling by the lake. That they, along with deer and other wildlife, continue to survive on the island, is a reminder to us all of the importance of protecting the undeveloped portion of the island through the use of conservation easements and the successful rural and critical lands program.

Lady’s Island vehicle decals are a hit with the community. To provide a way for those of us who live on Lady’s Island to show our pride in the community LIBPA purchased 1000 vehicle decals with the letters LI and a palm tree on them. They proved to be very popular and were distributed to the members of the community in a very short time. A special thanks to Grayco Hardware, Bill’s Liquor Store and Berry Island

Restaurant for allowing the decals to be placed near their checkout counters.

A second look at Lowcountry Urgent Care. The folks at Lowcountry Urgent Care (next to Hometown Realty) indicate an ever increasing number of patients are taking advantage of their ability to provide immediate and same day medical care either with or without an appointment. As a matter of information they would like to share the fact that their practice is designed to provide high quality medical care provided by highly trained providers supervised by Dr. Rhodes for conditions such as colds, flu, lacerations, sprains, urinary track infections, dehydration, minor injuries (on-site x-ray system), digestive issues, as well as other medical conditions. In addition, workers comp injuries are treated and Lowcountry Urgent Care also offers lab services. Following examination by the medical providers at Lowcountry Urgent Care, all results can be forwarded to your primary care physician at your request. If the test indicates the need for a specialist they will assist you in scheduling one. Providing you, your family, or out of town visitors the best immediate medical care possible is goal of Lowcountry Urgent Care. In the case of those without a primary care physician or one not immediately available, Lowcountry Urgent Care offers the perfect solution. For detailed information, please visit www.lowcountryurgentcare.com.

Welcome Factory Creek Fish Company. Mr. Tommy Wilburn, owner of Emily’s Restaurant and Tapas Bar and the recently opened Factory Creek Fish Company, chose to have what is known as a “soft” opening for his restaurant near the Lady’s Island Marina. Without advertisement or a “grand opening” he simply put a new sign up and opened the doors of the recently renovated facility. We welcome Mr. Wilburn to Lady’s Island and appreciate his choosing Lady’s Island for the location of his new restaurant.

At a recent meeting of the Thomas Heyward, Jr. Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Good Citizens Awards were given to

two local students who exemplify the character traits of fine American citizenship. Students Ellison Smith of Beaufort High School and Callie Rhodin of Beaufort Academy were chosen by faculty members of their respective schools. Welcomed at the ceremony was Barbara Connolly, grandmother of Miss Rhodin who received this same DAR award in her youth. Pictured above are (from left) Mrs. Connolly, Ms. Rhodin, Mr. Smith, and Susan Conapinski, chapter chairman of the Good Citizen Awards Committee. The ladies of the DAR are always enthusiastic in their recognition of students who are serious about holding themselves to high standards and thereby setting a positive example for their fellow students.


Len and Linda Newblom used to live in a golf community before they retired to Beaufort. After vacationing on Hilton Head for several years, they fell in love with Beaufort on day trips from the resort island. They found Newpoint subdivision on Lady’s Island and settled there in 2006.

They, like many Beaufort and Lady’s Island residents, thought membership to the Dataw Island Club was for residents of Dataw only. It’s not. The Newbloms have since joined and have subsequently made many friends as a result of the many activities on Dataw.

Several amenities attracted the couple to the Sea Island community club. Nestled on 870 acres, Dataw boasts golf, tennis, swimming, croquet, fitness and dining facilities. It also has a community center, a clubhouse and

ballroom and a marina.Len said, “One of the greatest benefits

of joining Dataw for us has been the development of so many friendships in such a short amount of time.”

Residents of the Islands of Beaufort held their annual charity auction to raise money for local charities in anticipation of the holiday season. More than $700 was dedicated to purchasing food and Christmas presents for a local family serviced by Hope Haven Advocacy. Additionally, cash donations in excess of $500 were made to each of the following organizations: Harvest Hope Food Bank, C.A.P.A. and Carolina Hospice.

“Residents of our community are pleased to support our local charities, and many of our neighbors also volunteer throughout the year to lend a helping hand to our local benevolent organizations.” states Karen Smedley, chairwoman of the event.

For more information, please contact Joan Byrnes on 843-379-3215.

news

Each new year brings new challenges and 2011 will be no different. For Lady’s Island and the rest of our county, state and nation the toughest challenge will be adapting to the “new” reality of a struggling economy. Following are some of the other items that will merit community attention in 2011.

Form-based code. In the coming year we will hear, with ever increasing frequency, terms such as new urbanism, walkable communities and form based code. Lady’s Island’s present zoning is specifically written for the island and has seen a decade of efforts to improve it. Form based code or zoning may offer a better way to do business for portions of the island. For example, a close look at the possible benefits of using a form based type of code in the Village Center (commercial area along Sea Island Parkway) will provide an opportunity to improve the blending of the city of Beaufort and Lady’s Island zoning in that area. Such a review will also present us an opportunity to revisit the zoning and regulations for the commercial portion of Lady’s Island to insure we are really promoting economic development. Portions of the residential area around the commercial area are in need of redevelopment and may support the use of some version of form based zoning. As to the rest of the island, which is primarily zoned rural and community preservation, the verdict is still out as to the benefits of this new type of zoning. For these areas this may be a case of “if

it is not broken, don’t fix it”. It is always good to pause and consider how to do things better and consideration of a new type of zoning will certainly allow us an opportunity to do that.

F-35B Aircraft. The decision has been made and the new F-35B aircraft is scheduled to come to the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort in the form of two training squadrons and three operational squadrons. Over the next three years the air station will undergo facility renovations to be ready for the 2014 arrival of the new aircraft and establishment of two training squadrons. Until then all training for the new aircraft will be accomplished at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Then in the 2016-2018 period three operational squadrons will receive the new aircraft. Certainly this schedule could change but is based on the original schedule. As to the effect on Lady’s Island starting in 2014 with the activation of the training command there will be an increase in the number of flights per day and an increase in the amount of noise the aircraft generates. In view of the fact that the northern part of the island is located within the present flight pattern of the Air Station residential development of any type has been intentionally limited. To determine how much of the

northern part of the island should be in an air installation compatible use zone (AICUZ) will have to wait until there is additional data available regarding the new aircraft. Until that time LIBPA will continue to work with the Air Station to find solutions to the challenges posed by arrival the new aircraft.

Transfer of Development Rights. In 2006, Beaufort County, the Town of Port Royal and the city of Beaufort agreed to designate a large quantity of land adjacent to Marine Corps Air Station as being within an Air Compatibility Installation Use Zone (AICUZ) and would take steps to limit development within this area. Since residential development within this area is not only discouraged but to some degree denied it was agreed that property owners within the AICUZ should be financially reimbursed for their development rights. One way to accomplish this is for the tax payer to simply buy each and every development right. This would require a great deal of money. Another approach that has been studied over the last few years is called a transfer of development rights. This concept allows a developer that has a piece of property in a area designated for development to increase the authorized density by purchasing development rights from a property owner in the AICUZ. Such a program will probably be initiated for property on Port Royal Island in 2011. If this test program is successful, it would appear logical to

consider some of the property owners on the northern end of Lady’s Island as being eligible to sell their development rights.

Solution to an overcrowded high school and an underutilized middle school. School Superintendent Dr. Valarie Truesdale and her staff, with the support of the school board; have implemented a wide range of innovative solutions in their efforts to guide our schools toward real long term improvement. The improvement accomplished to date is evident from the consistently improving test scores. How to best cope with a decreasing budget and excess classroom capacity in the northern Beaufort County public schools is just the latest challenge. There is no question that Beaufort High School is overcrowded or that Lady’s Island Middle School has excess capacity. However, any solution to these specific problems must be part of an overall northern Beaufort County solution and not viewed in isolation. That we have great schools (public and private) on Lady’s Island is a fact in which we can take a great deal of pride. Together, let’s work to keep them that way.

Each of the subjects addressed in this article is complicated and without easy answers but will require attention in the coming year. LIBPA, with your support, will strive to ensure our community is represented in the many discussions and meetings which will occur as they are addressed.

2011 challenges for Lady’s IslandBy Jim Hicks, Lady’s Island Planning Commission Representative

What’s happening at the Wardle Family YMCA?The New Year’s Eve Rockin’

Lock-in was a huge success for the Wardle Family YMCA. More than 50 children ages 6-13 enjoyed fun and games throughout the night and even rang in 2011 watching the televisions on the treadmills in the fitness room.

This event was made possible through generous donations from our community sponsors. A delicious assortment of food was graciously donated by Papa John’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Inn, Coca-Cola, Carolina Wings, Palm & Moon Bagel Co., Lady’s Island McDonald’s and Golden Corral.

“We expect next year to be an even bigger success!” says Kaylin Caron, Childcare Director at Wardle Family YMCA. “The children loved the games, swimming and food. I want to personally express my gratitude to all donors!”

The Wardle Family YMCA recently gave their outdoor pool to the dogs! The sound of barking was not uncommon this morning from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. as more than 20 dogs of all breeds ran and romped outside. Beside from the occasional dog escaping into the Y lobby area, the event was yet again another success.

The event costs only $5 per canine and all proceeds benefit the “Learn to Swim” program at the Y. This has been an ongoing event occurring the first Saturday of each month since October. “As soon as we close the outdoor pool for the summer, we open it up for the dogs!” says Mike Bostwick, CEO of Wardle Family YMCA. It’s truly a win-win situation. Our ‘Learn to Swim’ program receives support and area dogs have a fun, safe place to play!”

Canines of all breeds and sizes are welcome to attend the Puppy Plunge on the first Saturday of each month. As long as the weather cooperates, we plan on continuing until the pool opens again this spring!

Dogs must be well behaved, current on all required vaccines and leashed until inside the pool area. Owners must be present at all times.

For more, call 843-522-9622.

Kids watch the televisions at the YMCA to ring in the new year.

it’s fun to stay at the ymca• Volunteers are always needed to help as swim instructors, coaches, committee participates, campaign helpers, and in the nursery. No matter what your special talents, interests, and schedule, you can help change someone’s life. Share our commitment for the well being of our youth and the community, become a YMCA volunteer! • If you would like a tour of the facility or for more information, stop by seven days a week at 1801 Richmond Avenue, Port Royal or call 843-522-9622 to speak with one of our friendly staff.

Ty Pennington and his Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew ambushed � e Dickinson Family and fi nally announced the location of this week’s Beaufort County build: 45 Mystic Circle in Beaufort. � e news ends days of pins and needles excitement on the part of thousands of local volunteers who are champing at the bit to get started helping local construction fi rm H2 Builders make a home dream come true.

Marine Staff Sergeant Bill Dickinson and his wife, India, face a terrible dilemma far too common for military families: How to keep a happy, healthy family stateside while one parent is serving overseas?

� e Dickinsons are not only a joyous, playful, fun family — but above all, they are selfl ess and generous. Bill has served the U.S. honorably for 17 years (and continues to do so) and the family volunteers and gives back to the community. Sadly, this great family has been forced to live in deplorable conditions. Because of Bill’s deployments and fi nancial diffi culty, the family home has become almost uninhabitable. Despite Bill’s best eff orts to make repairs on his own, the list of problems is long: shoddy electrical, inadequate foundation, fi re hazards and a dining room fl oor destroyed by a fl ood. � e most pressing issue is that there’s mold in every wall, which is literally making the family sick, particularly 1-year-old

baby Sophia.Bill deployed for Afghanistan on

November 5, leaving India, like many military spouses, to deal with the terrible house and the toll it’s taking on her kids by herself. � ey want to move but do not have the resources to do so. � is weighs heavily on India of course but also on Bill whose work requires intense focus on the dangerous job at hand. Being a loving husband and father, he is distracted by worry for his family, nearly 7000 miles away.

H2 Builders owner Todd Hawk

was on hand for the show’s traditional “family ambush” which took place at the Marine Corp Air Station. Hawk said this project is especially close to his heart because his grandfather was a Marine. “As a husband, a father and an American, I am awed at the personal sacrifi ce that literally tens of thousands of military husbands and fathers —and wives — are willing to make, every single day, in order to keep my family, our communities, and our country a safe and free place to live. We are here this week to give our thanks to all the men and women who have given so much for us and for our country, by giving back to this deserving military family.”

Hawk added that the Beaufort County community has been amazing with their support and encouragement on this project. “Vendors, subcontractors, suppliers, and local volunteers, it’s been incredible,” he said. “But we still have real needs, and I’m hoping we’ll get an eleventh hour infusion of support. It’s not too late,” he said. “If you’re interested in helping, the web site (extrememakeoverbeaufortcounty.com) is updated daily.”

WATCH THEM BUILD AND HELP FEED BEAUFORT

COUNTY� e build site offi cially opens to

spectators on � ursday, January 13, and will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Monday, January 17. Spectator parking is available in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in the Royal Oaks Shopping Center, located at the corner of Mossy Oaks Road and Ribaut Road (Highway 21) in Beaufort. Driving directions can be found on the web site. In keeping with the excitement and enthusiasm of this event, � e Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort County will hold a Food Drive in the Spectator Parking Lot on the days the build site is open to the public, and are requesting donations of canned and non-perishable items to help feed needy families in Beaufort County.

Hawk stressed how important the support and encouragement of spectators will be throughout the build, and said he hopes to see the same incredible crowd that he saw at the recent Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Beaufort County pep rally. “It doesn’t matter if you are working or watching,” Hawk said. “� is week we are all weapons for mass construction!”

Beaufort family will soon be shouting: Move that bus!

Well, it’s a New Year and we have several new faces in town you should know

about. You won’t be able to miss the lovely red-haired Susan Murphy and her distinguished 6-foot-3, bald and white bearded husband, Ullrich Klamm around town as they have rented a house downtown for the next several months.

� ey are both fascinating and I hope you get a chance to meet them. � ey have homes in France and the New York City area, but love Beaufort just as much as we all do and have been renting homes on the nearby islands for the past few

years. Ullrich is a German native, now an international businessman, and Susan teaches and coaches communication skills, specializing in presentation skills for both individuals and corporations who fl y her around the country to coach their staff s. She has worked with most of the Fortune 500 companies, such as Citibank, Verizon, and American Express.

I asked her if she would ever use her skills to train folks here in Beaufort, and she said, “Yes, of course! I would love to.”

Susan says she uses humor and zest to get results from just about anybody. According to Susan, “Presentation and sales are not personality dependent. Even a shy soul can shine within the parameters of his or her personality. I fi nd two hours at a time works best for an individual. A group can start with a half day. Participants learn to look and sound as smart and talented as they are. � ey learn to showcase their talents or their services/products based on the other person’s interest, without bragging or getting ‘salesy.’ Nothing builds confi dence like having a group of concrete skills at one’s fi ngertips. Anyone can learn them and anyone can profi t from them, no matter the breadth or lack of experience. � e skills also apply in any circumstance, from giving a formal speech to just mingling at a party or presenting ideas to a friend or spouse, or even a diffi cult person.”

Sounds like she could get us all ready for our next crucial job interview or sales pitch! For individual or business staff coaching appointments, you can reach Susan on her cell at 201-370-7396.

Also new in town, Josh Martin is here for the next two years as the new project manager to implement the work plan of the city’s redevelopment

commission and help in guiding the City Master Plan. In other words, he’s a key person implementing what Beaufort will look like in the future.

We are lucky to have someone as experienced as Josh doing the job! He is coming to Beaufort from the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League where he was program director of Land Use and Communities. Before that he had been appointed by Charleston Mayor Joe Riley as Charleston’s fi rst Director of Planning, Preservation, and Economic Innovation.

Josh got his masters of city and regional planning at Clemson and worked as Bluff ton’s town planner for many years.

� e Kentucky native was also student body president at Woff ord where he was a Woff ord Scholar.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the city of Beaufort over the coming years to build a more sustainable and resilient Beaufort in every regard,” he said.

Welcome to Beaufort, Josh!

As three new faces come to town, one familiar face leaves.

Beaufort native Lacy Culbersonleaves tomorrow for exciting new

opportunities in L.A. I asked her what she would be doing out there.

“I will be living in Jane and Craig Gerings guest house, working with their kids on weekends and for Jane as an assistant during the week. Also

hope to land a job at Chateaux Marmont working awards events. We will be in Los Angeles for the spring, Malibu for July and Quag (the Hamptons) for August. We will also be taking trips to Aspen, Co., in March and the Alisal ranch in Santa Barbara, Ca., in April.” (Sounds like a very glamorous year for Lacy! Especially since Craig is George Clooney’s agent.)

Says Lacy, “I will be missing the Trask kids; the Gray kids; the McAlhaney kids; Vivi Nellens little boy, Trip; and Sara and Chris Chaffi ns’ kids!”

(I’m sure they will miss you too Lacy.)Have a great time and say hello to all

the stars for us!

In fact, it’s what Jim does for a living. As owner of Tucker Building Corporation, Jim specializes in commercial building, multi-family and custom residential projects.

In June, 2010, the Tucker’s house at 100 Dolphin Point Drive on Cat Island was featured in Coastal Living Magazine. And now, it is receiving national accolades as one of the country’s best renovation projects as described on www.msn.com.

Coastal Living writer Elizabeth Roehrig, photographer, Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn and stylist, Stephanie Davis complied facts, photos and creative ideas to assist in showcasing the former 80’s cookie cutter home as a chic, beach-style cottage with lots of added space and character.

National attention in magazines such as Coastal Living only helps Beaufort and the South Carolina Lowcountry recruit new residents to the place we all love to live, work and raise families. It’s also a place where many enjoy retirement.

Beaufort benefits from new homebuyers. Fresh faces bring new businesses, innovative ideas, and a significant boost to the local economy.

As we continue to impress readers in popular culture, we can only hope that Beaufort’s financial recovery will gain momentum from the esteemed publications’ profiles sooner than later.

Highlighting Beaufort’s attributes and beauty in articles like the one in Coastal Living markets our taste for seaside simplicity. And that’s exactly what this renovation project illustrates.

A Lowcountry clapboard cottage on the outside with a classic blue and white palette on the inside, the Tucker home also boasts a subtle French influence, thanks to interior designer, Wanda Mills.

Architect Paul Cole helped the Tuckers reconfigure attic space by adding a dormer, which became a bedroom and playroom for their two boys, Patrick and Jack. An addition was adjoined to the side of the house, which made room for a formal dining room and mudroom-two things Jill really wanted. They also relocated the kitchen and enclosed a screen porch, which became a breakfast nook.

The entire renovation project took four months to covert a 25-year-old home into a contemporary and stylish, yet kid-friendly home. The open layout yields lots of space for friends and family to enjoy expansive views of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Thank you Jim and Jill for opening your home to loyal readers of Coastal Living and enticing potential buyers to our special Lowcountry haven. Congratulations on your success with the project, and good luck to you and all of our fine area builders in securing future renovations and new construction in the area.

The Lunch Bunch had the pleasure of dining at the Factory Creek Fish Company, or as many locals are starting to call it, “The Creek.” We’ve been waiting for it, and it’s here Beaufort…a restaurant on the water worth traveling to by boat!

If you like Emily’s Restaurant on Port Republic Street, you’ll certainly enjoy the food at The Creek! The same owners, Tommy and Mary Winburn, manage and operate the restaurant at the former and Grouper’s and Ollie’s location on Factory Creek.

As Angela, our server, asked our order, Pamela and I couldn’t help notice the beautiful view. She asked about the ducks in the water. I quickly said they were Hooded Mergansers, because I noticed the distinct white patch on their crest. However, after a little research, I determined that Hooded Mergansers prefer fresh water. But, darn if they don’t look like them. What do you think Beaufort?

Obviously, when you go to The Creek, you’ll appreciate more than the good food and service. You’ll get to watch water birds and birds of prey, dolphins, maybe a mink and so much more. The scenery is absolutely incredible!

Angela was awesome! She recommended the Sweet Pepper Shrimp as an appetizer. The Lunch Bunch unanimously agreed that the Lowcountry starter is a definite MUST-HAVE! The large shrimp were amazing with the original tangy sauce melting in our mouths.

When Angela also recommended the Grouper sandwich as a favorite, I got excited. I was eying the Grouper Wrap, so I opted for the lighter carb version. I ordered the Grouper blackened, and it was cooked to perfection.

Pamela and Barry also chose seafood selections. Barry chose the Crab Cake Sandwich, and of course, finished every bite. Pamela ordered a few items from the appetizer menu. She got the infamous She-Crab Soup, and thoroughly enjoyed each bite of this Lowcountry classic. I tasted it and agreed, it is also a MUST-HAVE! She also ordered the crab cake appetizer with roasted sweet pepper aioli and the golden brown fried scallops. Pamela was delectably pleased.

Kim and Elizabeth opted for non-seafood dishes. Kim got the seasoned and pan seared fried green tomato sandwich with a cup of the roasted corn, ham and crab stew on the side. What a southern meal, and oh so tasty!

Elizabeth was indecisive again. But, Angela highly recommended the fried egg French toast sandwich when Lizzy inquired about it. When she ordered extra syrup, the dish was “simply amazing,” says Elizabeth.

There is a Caribbean vibe at Factory Creek Fish House. Reggae music plays in the background, and the relaxed atmosphere yields to a stress-free experience. What a place to go during the lunch hour, huh? Take an hour off of life, and go to The Creek!

But wait, the new Factory Creek restaurant is not only open for lunch, it’s certainly open for dinner as well! I have to quote Kim in a text that she sent me over the Holidays regarding her meal at The Creek. “Wendy, it’s the best food in Beaufort!”

Now that’s a compliment! Her family went there, and the table shared shrimp and Charleston-style grits, steak au poivre, baked chicken over Lowcountry red rice and shrimp and crab stuffed flounder. Can you say yum!

Finally a great place to eat on the water! I thought I was looking forward to warm weather before The Creek opened. Now, I’m on pins and needles. No need to travel to Shem Creek or Edisto anymore. We’ve got the good stuff right here on Lady’s Island!

Thanks Tommy and Mary for inviting us to The Creek. We will be back for more.

� is is one of the most asked questions in the whole store. In fact, it has been for a while and the number of times it gets asked is still growing. � e good news is that there are lots of Moscato wines, some of them very very good. � e bad news is that they are a sweeter style wine so many of us just don’t go near them because we don’t like sweeter wines. But, you know what? We all have friends who might like them, dinner parties where they could be perfect, and, hopefully, enough interest in learning more about more wines so that we might try one, one time maybe.

Moscato is a grape variety. And that is the Italian version of the name. � e other version of the name is Muscat, which maybe we have seen on some other bottles and we just never knew what it was. Muscat grapes range in color from white to near black and they are grown in every wine producing country in the world. � e large number of varieties of Muscat suggests, to grape historians, that this is possibly the world’s oldest domesticated variety and, stretching even further, maybe most other “vitis vinifera” families are descended from the Muscat variety. Know what that would mean? We’ve all been drinking relatives of Muscat all along. OMG! Going way

back, there has been some research that shows that pots from King Midas’ tomb contained an alcoholic beverage made from Muscat grapes.

Around the world, Muscat may be less well known, to us, but not any less used. Orange Muscat and Black Muscat are used to make dessert wines at many California wineries. In Spain and Portugal, where the name is Moscatel, sweet and fortifi ed wines are easy enough to fi nd. Sometimes, in the Spanish region Jerez, Moscatel wines are even made with the solera system that is used t make their Sherries. � ere are many dessert wines from many regions of France made from Muscat — Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise from the Cotes du Rhone that we have had over the years. Also in France, the Alsace region produces dry and sweet

versions of Muscat wines. In Peru and Chile, Muscat wine is used as the base for Pisco, their brandy-like drink, and,in Greece too, it is the base for Metaxa, their brandy-like drink.

Coming back to Beaufort, a Muscat wine has been around us and in our glasses for many years — the well known Asti Spumante from Italy. Asti is a town in the northwestern Piedmont region of Italy where they grow Moscato grapes. And those grapes make Asti, the town giving its name to the wine as is common in Europe. In addition, the same town makes another wine, legally called Moscato d’Asti, also made from Moscato grapes but not as bubbly as real spumante is. � ere is a spritz (light bubbliness) in Moscato d’Astis, lower alcohol, and some residual sugar so the wine is light, aromatic, fruity and spritzy. � e practice of putting a strawberry in Champagne comes from this wine. In the world of grape varieties, wine and their perfect food pairings, Moscato with strawberries is it! (� ink Spring

and fresh, big, sweet red Beaufort strawberries. � ere is the perfect fi nish to any dinner!)

� e chemistry of Muscat grapes is part of what is making its wines so popular. � ese wines have distinct fl avors of fl owers, ripe melons, tropical fruits. But, beyond the fl avors, these grapes are high in antioxidant fl avonoids. Usually found in red grapes, these health benefi ts are as high in Muscat as they are some of the red varieties. Very interesting. A huge number of customers has discovered this wine in the past year or so, now it’s time for the rest of us to try it and see if we’re missing something. � e ones we have the most of are the Moscato d’Astis. And, like other wines, there are a lot of them at a range of prices. For sure, duh, you get what you pay for, but they only run from $12 to maybe $25. Drink them very cold, in a fl ute if you like, and remember them as soon as the strawberries come back. So, you be the one next time to ask “Where are your Moscatos? “ Enjoy!

Where are your Moscatos?Moscato is a grape variety. And that is the Italian version of the name. The other version of the name is Muscat. Muscat grapes range in color from white to near black and they are grown around the world.

Pet lovers usually say they’ll do anything for their pets. But when the price of veterinary care starts bumping into thousands of dollars for a single procedure, “anything” begins to look a little diff erent.

� at’s where pet insurers say they can help. For monthly premiums of $30 to more than $90, they promise to pay a portion of your pet’s bills for medical and surgical care. What you pay depends on where you live, your pet’s breed and age, the deductible and the coverage.

Although pet insurance has been around for a couple of decades, what has changed, perhaps because pet insurance has been around for a couple of decades, is the state of veterinary science as well as the economics of running a veterinary practice. Vets now off er treatments for our pets that were unheard of a few years ago at prices that make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Isotope therapy and kidney transplants are now available for our animals. Once-fatal conditions are now treatable at costs ranging from $1000 to more than $10,000 per procedure. Vets now have access to increasingly sophisticated and costly diagnostic tools, such as MRIs, allowing them to detect problems that would have previously gone unnoticed and untreated but also result in boosting the cost of exams to unaff ordable levels for the Regular Joe pet owner.

Maybe pet insurance can help off set the cost. Maybe not. Consider this:

Coverage limitations: All pet insurers exclude pre-existing conditions just like human health care policies. Pre-existing conditions for pets can include hereditary conditions (the dreaded hip dysplasia), allergies, fractured teeth, eye disorders, diabetes, and urinary tract malfunctions. An insurer might also exclude a pet’s condition from coverage upon policy renewal.

Cost sharing: On top of the monthly premium there’s a deductible, co-pay or both with most insurers. � ere might be a

maximum limit for individual illnesses, or on the yearly, or lifetime reimbursement.

Claim quirks: With some plans you foot the bill up front and wait for reimbursement. With most plans, the older your animal, the more you’ll pay in premiums. Some insurers do not cover pets older than nine. � ere’s also the aggravation factor of doing battle with a customer service representative when what you thought was covered, what you read was covered in your policy is suddenly not covered for no apparent reason.

Costly or unnecessary add-ons: Some carriers let you add “wellness” (whatever that means) coverage to accident and illness policies, but it’s generally not worth the cost.

While it’s impossible to predict your dog’s odds of contracting a costly illness or accident, you can take a number of steps to keep him healthy and minimize vet visits:

Shop with your eyes open: Do the research when it comes time to get a puppy. Don’t pick a breed that is congenitally prone to a known disorder you’ll have to treat for the next 16 years. Some breeds are mighty cute but come with the problems built in and waiting to happen.

Spay or neuter: Neutered

animals are less likely to roam or scrap. Spaying reduces the risk of mammary cancer and, oh, repeated pregnancies and lots of puppies.

Feed a clean and healthy diet: So many ailments are a result of or exacerbated by poor nutrition—obesity, arthritis, diabetes, skin allergies, cancers, auto-immune disorders and chronic ear goo to name a few. Minimize chemical intrusions—vacc inat ions , topical pesticides household cleaners and dog perfume, my personal “pet” peeve.

Get the annual check-up: Head off a possible medical problem before it grows into something unmanageable. But don’t be afraid to say “no, thank you” if you feel a test or procedure is beyond your budget.

Pet insurance may a good plan if you have unlimited disposable funds. But here’s another idea—call three pet insurance companies and ask for quotes based on your dog’s particulars. Average the cost of all three. � en contribute monthly that amount to an interest bearing savings account ear-marked only for your pet’s medical needs. With common sense and good dog maintenance in 16 years you’ll be able to roll that amount into your child’s college fund.

Although pet insurance has been around for a couple of decades, what has changed is the state of veterinary science as well as the economics of running a veterinary practice. Vets offer treatments that were unheard of a few years ago.
