Like any grandfa- ther who is also a fisher- man, I fervently hope my grandson Liam develops an inter- est in angling. Though I harbor the same wish for my two granddaugh- ters, my experience has demonstrated that granddaughters seem less inter- ested in fishy pursuits than grand- sons, an observation borne out by many of my friends and fellow grandfathers. One buddy in particu- lar, who happens to be the best fisher- man I have ever met (and that is say- ing something), has yearned for a grandson with whom he can share his passion and his lifetime’s accumu- lation of hard won knowledge. He is currently the grandfather of some half dozen granddaughters. He enjoys each one, but thus far, not a single girl has expressed any interest in anything remotely outdoors orient- ed. When we discuss my aspirations for young Liam, he often asks, with a wry smile, if he might borrow him as a surrogate grandson. I have no sons but am blessed to have one of my daughters become an outdoors per- son. She is an enthusiastic fisherman (or is fisherperson more correct?) in addition to being a Huntress of deer and the occasional upland bird. Liam’s dad has a strong love of fishing, particularly the offshore style. Since Liam has first been able to hold a fishing rod, his father has encour- aged the fishing bug to bite Liam by casting a small rod into the pond behind their house, in hopes of con- necting to a bass or bluegill that he could land. To this point, these efforts have been fruitless. For his part, Liam remains fascinated by the rod and reel. He continues his efforts to mas- ter casting and is making some progress. Each time he visits me, he asks to go sit in the boat with me. Once he is ensconced in the captain’s seat, he gives the wheel a few turns, then looks at me and proclaims “We go fishing now, Pa!” I think my dreams may well become reality soon. Recently, Liam had a fishing opportunity on a local creek dock with his dad and his other grandfa- ther. Using the old standby Zebco, Dad baited up the hook and dropped it into the muddy water of the creek. After a brief waiting period, the rod quivered slightly. A small pinfish had taken the bait and now struggled to regain its freedom. Dad handed the rod to Liam and he pulled the fish in. Upon seeing his first catch, he seemed to deem it unworthy of being his landmark first fish, and in a demonstration of all he had learned about casting, Liam brought his rod back overhead and cast the hapless pinfish back into the creek, presum- ably to use his prize as bait for a proper fish! Mom and Dad quickly stepped in and retrieved the pinfish for the mandatory photo op. As Dad held the fish, Liam did his best Jimmie Houston impression by plant- ing a big kiss on the fish’s lips! I am just glad he did not land a barracuda! We will be taking Liam to Disney World very soon, and I am greatly anticipating seeing him react to the wonders awaiting him in the Land of the Mouse, but not nearly so much as the sweet anticipation of watching as he casts perfect loops to a tailing red- fish on the flats at McClellanville. Maybe I should start building his fly rod now…. Volume VIII Issue XI December 2017 FREE FREE The First of Many By James W. Yates, MD 1215 Hewitt Rd.

Christmas is by farmy most favoriteholiday of the year.There is somethingabout Christmas thatputs most people inthe happiest ofmoods. It seems likeeven the grumpiestof people catch theChristmas Spirit.You might even hearthem hummingChristmas Carols …(Closet ChristmasFans). I simply loveChristmas.

I won’t get on a soapbox and talkabout how Fifth Avenue has commer-cialized Christmas. As a matter of fact,from my view there is quite a bit ofsymbolism in what Fifth Avenue hasdone. For me personally, Christmas isall about the birth of Jesus. WithoutJesus, Christmas is void of any real

meaning. Just lookat the name:CHRISTmas.Without Jesus, whatwould the holidaybe called? The truthof the matter isCHRISTmas is ALLabout Jesus.

(Side Note: InSpanish, the word“mas” means more.Combining Christwith mas could belooked at as pro-claiming “ChristMore” The holiday

observance really should be moreabout Christ. Also, you may have seenChristmas written as “Xmas”. It’sinteresting to note in the Greek lan-guage many people or things wererecognized by a single letter. In theGreek, “Christ” was often times repre-sented by the Greek letter “Chi” or

“X”. It is amazing to me when com-panies write Xmas trying to avoid anymention of the true meaning of theholiday, it seems to backfire on them.Writing “Xmas”, Christ is still repre-sented. The truth is you CAN’T takeChrist out of Christmas.)

To me Christmas is about God lov-ing the people He created so much Hewas willing to give them the GreatestGift of All, His Son. Jesus was given inhope that all mankind through Himwould receive eternal life… The Giftthat keeps on giving. What follows isthe story of how The Gift of Christwas given:

Luke Chapter Two, Verses Eightthrough Twenty…

“And there were shepherds livingout in the field nearby, keeping watchover their flocks by night. An angel ofthe Lord appeared to them, and theglory of the Lord shown around them,and they were terrified. But the angelsaid to them, “Do not be afraid. Ibring you good news of great joy thatwill be for all people. Today in thetown of David a Savior has been bornto you; He is Christ the Lord. Thiswill be a sign to you: You will find ababy wrapped in cloths and lying in amanger.”

Suddenly a great company of theheavenly host appeared with theangel, praising God and saying,“Glory to God in the highest and onEarth Peace and good will towardmen.”

When the angels had left them andgone into heaven, the shepherds saidto one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehemand see this thing that has happened,which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Maryand Joseph, and the baby, who waslying in the manger. When they hadseen him, they spread the word con-cerning what had been told themabout this child, and all who heard itwere amazed at what the shepherdssaid to them. But Mary treasured upall these things and pondered them inher heart. The shepherds returned glo-rifying and praising God for all thethings they had heard and seen, whichwere just as they had been told.

As you look for the “Perfect Gift”this year may we all remember thatthe Most Perfect Gift was given overtwo thousand years ago, His name isJesus … The Light of the World, TheGiver of Eternal Life. If you personallyhave yet to receive This Gift, may thisbe the year you do.Merry CHRISTmas Everybody!!!

LasVegas,Texas, andCalifornia.No matterwhere ithappensmass shoot-ings aretragic, dis-gusting anddifficult tounderstand.

But believe me it’s not a gun prob-lem. I know that the first conversa-tion after each one of these events is“we need some common sense gunlaws” but what happened has nocommon sense, so we are startingoff at the wrong place. There is

nothing common about going outand shooting up a bunch of people.There are thousands and hundredsof thousands of gun owners in thiscountry, but yet there’s only a smallfraction of gun owners that do thoseacts. Why is that? If it was a gunproblem, why isn’t it happening allthe time? And I do know that it ishappening too often. I’ll tell youwhy, it’s because it’s not about theguns, but it’s about the evil in theact. Look at places around the worldwhere guns are not available andjust recently in New York where avehicle was used. In France therewas a truck used, “it about the act”.

How do you regulate or legislateaway evil people? As a person offaith, I believe evil has a deeper

seed, but that’s another subject. Butlet’s face it America, I feel we play apart in setting the direction for someof the problem. We have allowedour schools, our courts and ourwork places to be compromised byremoving just some of the basicsthings that help promote good com-mon sense and respect for life. Wehave removed prayers from schools,the Ten Commandments from pub-lic places, and political correctnessand entitlements have gone wild.You don’t have to be a big religiousperson to realize that a good envi-ronment cultivates good activities.Thou shalt not kill or thou shalt notsteal doesn’t have to be about reli-gion but about being a decenthuman being. If you plant goodseeds (a positive message) and erad-icate the weeds (evil and evil deeds)then you can grow something worthbeing proud of (good citizens).

You can’t fix a bad person prob-lem with a new gun law, but wemust address the people problem.The people problem is that there isno respect for life or others. If yourespect something, you’re not will-ing to destroy it.

Legislation cannot regulate evilbehavior. Only a sense of willing todo what’s right can change thatbehavior, and we have no sense ofright or wrong if we have no moralvalues. I understand that you can’tlegislate morality, but teachingeveryone from a young age, canallow them to grow up with somesense of direction and respect. Thewillingness for some politicians notto address some issues because of aperson’s background deprivesdescent law abiding citizens certainfreedoms to compensate for the badones.

If we addressed the bad ones andmake sure the penalty suits theproblem, we would have less repeatoffenders. If the proper agenciescommunicated with each other and

related the proper information someof those bad guys wouldn’t slipthrough the cracks. Very often thereare already reasons why a personshould be denied the right to afirearm but someone forgot orcouldn’t pass on the informationbecause it’s not politically correct orinfringes on their rights. I believe inrights and privacy of those rightsbut if you have a shady history thatmay jeopardize the safety of thepopulation, I think that informationshould be shared with the properagencies.

Common sense gun laws, tell mewhat that means. I don’t think any-one can reasonably explain thatterm when it comes to those doingthose mass shootings. In most cases,every single thing they did was notwithin what I would call commonsense. Numbers of laws are violated,all reason and sensibility has beentossed aside, and the care and rightsof those around you doesn’t matter.Be it a gun, a knife, a vehicle or abomb all common sense is gone.And no written law will repair that.The teaching of someone the valueof life begins when they learn tovalue themselves. Because if youdon’t care about yourself, whywould you care about someone else.Face it, most of those shooters taketheir own life in the end, but what iftheir life mattered to them? Thingsmay be different.

Politics and politicians can’t fixthe problems when they are lookingin the wrong place. A better under-standing of what our creator had invision for us would be a good placeto start. No, I don’t think gunsshould be just set free like the WildWest, but just remember this, youdon’t have any mass shootings atgun shows or shooting ranges, Iwonder why.

Let’s try to solve the problemsand not penalize the people. Thankyou, God bless.

Coming to the low countrychanged this Kentucky Lakebass fisherman’s perspectivemore than I thought possible.After marrying my beautifulwife Dr. Michelle Welch-Smithwe made a trip to Georgetownto fish. We immediately fell inlove with the low country andare now at least part time resi-dents of Georgetown County.We have met some amazingpeople down here but nonemore so than Chuck RichardsonJr my friend and fishing partnerin the IFA and Southern Redfishcup. He gets the credit for allthe amazing photos too! Chuckand I were pre-fishing for thisfalls IFA at Georgetown whenthis happened...While casting a

Berkeley Gulp crab below a popping cork I had a normal slow pull downlike a slot sized red. After reeling in the little bit of slack and setting thehook I thought for a second I was hung. Then I thought I had a shark!!!This guy fortunately took off across the bay and we chased him letting the20 lb Power Pro Braid and Penn reel wear him down. We were able to boatand release him unharmed after a battle!!!

The mission of Winyah RiversFoundation is to protect, preserve,monitor, and revitalize the health ofthe lands and waters of the greaterWinyah Bay watershed. This yearwe have had major success in meet-ing our mission through the dedi-cation of our staff volunteers.

We protected and preservedlands and waters in our watershedby taking an active role in advocacythis year. On local, state, and feder-al levels, we stood up and spokefor the rivers. Protection andpreservation of our natural spacesis important not only for recreation,hunting, and fishing but for protec-tion of our water resources. Naturallandscapes provide valuable

ecosystem services such as mainte-nance of good water quality andflood prevention. We advocate toprotect natural lands and waters inorder to protect the rights of ourcommunities to clean water.

Through proper land management,preservation, and sustainable landuse we can better protect our waterresources for our families and ourfuture.

With the help of volunteers andstudents, we monitored the watersthroughout the Waccamaw Riverwatershed. For over ten years, vol-unteers have been monitoringwater quality along the riverthrough Coastal CarolinaUniversity’s Waccamaw WatershedAcademy. Nine teams of volunteershave sampled at 18 sites from LakeWaccamaw all the way down-stream to Winyah Bay a total of 22times this year. Additionally, stu-dents from six schools throughoutthe watershed have been monitor-ing water quality on their campus-es through the RIVERKEEPER®Challenge. A pilot program, BeWELL, has been initiated in twoHorry County schools to monitorwater, emissions, and litter.Throughout our watershed, volun-teers and students are helping us tomonitor to health of our waters. Wecould not do our job without theirhelp.

Our rivers have been revitalizedthis year through the efforts of ourvolunteers. Since January, volun-teers have worked to clean the river

during both our Cleanup Our LocalWaterways initiative in the springand fall and throughout the yearwhile paddling. Our volunteersand adopters through the Adopt-a-Landing Program have held over140 cleanups this year. 1,650 volun-teers have donated a total of 6,600hours to cleaning up over 200 rivermiles throughout the watershed.Their efforts have been recordbreaking for our organization. Thisyear more than 34 tons of trashhave been removed from the waterwe use for drinking water, recre-ation, and our livelihoods.

This year we can say with greatpride that we have met our mis-sion. But we could not have done itwithout the community memberswho generously support WinyahRivers Foundation. We invite youto help us meet our goal again in2018. Become a member, volunteer,or donate to help us protect, pre-serve, monitor, and revitalize thehealth of the lands and waters ofthe greater Winyah Bay watershed.Visit our website atwinyahrivers.org to learn how youcan help.

Be sure to join us on SundayJanuary 14th, 2018 from 4-8pm forour River Celebration at theWarehouse in Conway, SC.

Merry Christmas From Our

Staff and Writers!

The holidays are filled with temp-tations and opportunities to over-indulge, and if you’re managingyour health and weight, the seasoncan feel anything but merry.

Depriving yourself of yourfavorite holiday treats isn’t onlyunpleasant, it’s also unnecessary.Many experts recommend thatinstead, you focus on building ahealthier lifestyle through a well-balanced, long-term eating plan. Forexample, Atkins offers a balancedapproach with foods containingfiber-rich and nutrient-dense carbo-

hydrates, as well as good fats andproteins, while focusing on reducedlevels of refined carbohydrates andadded sugars. When preparing yourholiday menu, look for recipes thatcontain adequate protein, healthyfats and high-fiber carbohydrates,and you’ll be able to enjoy the fla-vors of the season without guilt.

Learn more about the benefits of abalanced, low-carb approach to eat-ing at Atkins.com.

His love forthe outdoorsand bird hunt-ing is truly afamily affair.

BerkleyWhite hascreated a truehuntingretreat, mas-terfully dis-guised as a

detached garage! About 20 feet fromthe main house that he and his wife,Kim built 3 years ago, this amazingspace functions not only like a quainthunting “cabin” with a full bar, roast-ing grill, and sleeping facilities, but asa place where the Whites can take theirpassion for hunting to a level that istruly impressive.

A builder with big ideas, Berkleydreamed of a place where he couldtake care of their beloved dogs, and toperfect the sport of hunting that he andhis family love so dearly. Raising twosons who love hunting, Will 17 andWade 13, Kim designed the floor planfor their main house and the “huntingretreat” with care and precision. “I did-n’t realize we were building his and hershomes when this all started,” Kim affec-tionately kids. That is not a far-offdescription of this amazing space.

A well-designed kennel for theirfour very special hunting dogs, Hunny,Lady, Bob, and Shot, was a key consid-eration in the planning. “For us, ourdogs led the way to our design; theyare so much a part of life and it isimportant for us to have them verywell taken care of.” Berkley explained.The kennel provides both indoor and

outdoor areas with plenty of space torun, and is flanked with a nice dogshower since the dogs live in the houseand they love to run and get dirty.Curling up next to the fireplace on coolwinter nights after a long day in thefield is where you are likely to findthem.

You might call Berkley a wingman.His passion for hunting is clearly withbirds, even though he and his sons alsolike to hunt deer. The hunting retreatfeatures an inviting “trophy room” andincludes a gun safe, office space, cozysitting room, and welcoming bar andgrill. Having a gun safe is high onBerkley’s list of priorities when itcomes to hunting and gun safety is abig thing at his house. His gorgeousmounts capture successful huntsincluding Mule Deer from Montana,Hungarian Partridge from Montana,Teal Duck from Arkansas, Pintail fromGeorgetown Ruffed Grouse fromWisconsin, Wood Duck from theWaccamaw River, and of course a cou-ple of great turkeys from SouthCarolina. The retreat perfectly depictshis love for hunting, and his inspira-tion for the design elements comesfrom his Southern roots and also some

of his very exciting travels to farawayplaces such as Argentina and Scotland.

The warm rustic touches areachieved with beautiful reclaimedwarehouse flooring for the ceilings,classic shiplap walls, and of course, afireplace! The classic sophisticated lookis purposefully taken down a notchwith the retreat’s charming tree trunkbar stools and nicely weathered leatherchairs, making it a cozy and comfort-able place to enjoy and entertain.Preserving memories is an importantaspect of designing hunting retreats,and these walls are filled with anamazing collection that chroniclesgreat hunts and amazing travels andincludes Berkley’s duck stamp collec-tion as well.

As if this perfectly wonderful spaceis not enough, there is also a secondlevel with a workout room and a fullbedroom and bath. What a perfect ideafor those mornings where the 3 amalarm goes off so you can get to yourduck hunt and not disturb others whowould rather sleep in.

One of Berkley’s favorite elements isthe asado grill. I learned that this wordmeans “roast” in Spanish. It is anamazing grill that roasts food on an

open flame. Berkley got his inspiration for this grillfrom one of his favorite trips to Argentina, where heshot quail, fly-fished, and bow hunted for Red stag.In Argentina, asado is a traditional way of prepar-ing food and a favorite event. An asado usuallyconsists of beef and sausages, which are cooked ona grill, or an open fire. We pretty much call it barbe-

cuing here in the South, but this is not your ordi-nary barbecue by any means! This grill is built intothe brick wall and fired up by logs below.

Another amazing memory Berkley shared withme was their trip to Scotland where he and Kim,along with several other couples, experienced high-volume wing shooting, which he described as some

of the most challenging shooting he has ever done.With driven shooting, you are technically not hunt-ing since the birds are driven toward you by beat-ers walking through the hills pushing the birds tofly at the shooters. Berkley described this shoot asextremely fast, with the Red Grouse flying in at 60miles an hour aided with tailwinds from the steephilltops. This is truly a hunt that goes back tobygone days, and you might just feel like you are apart of Downton Abbey! While they were there, theyenjoyed all that the beautiful countryside had tooffer and especially loved their stay at NaworthCastle dating back to the 1500’s!

I have had the pleasure of shooting clays withBerkley, and I can attest to the fact that he is a veryskilled shooter. But you would never know that, ashe is also a very humble person. His skills in shoot-ing are much like his skills with home building—hestrives for perfection! If you are looking to build ahouse, or just a hunting room, and need help,Berkley White is definitely a builder with big ideas!His knowledge of hunting along with his experi-ence as a builder makes the perfect combination foranyone looking to create a space perfect for theirhunting needs.

Oh, by the way . . . there is also actually a two-car garage behind those garage doors as well!

Berkley and his mother, Susan White, own and oper-ate Classic Homes, and their reputation is one of crafts-manship and quality, which are unmistakable when tour-ing this incredible property.

The distinctly striped tiger sharkis one of the largest predators incoastal South Carolina waters – andnow you can follow the movementsof one through her pregnancy.

This week, South CarolinaDepartment of Natural Resources(SCDNR) biologists working in St.Helena Sound caught and satellitetagged “Harry-Etta,” a female tigershark clocking in at 12”2’ long and820 pounds. By providing real-timedata as she cruises Southeasternwaters, Harry-Etta could helpresearchers answer important ques-tions about how long sharks of thislittle-studied species live, how oftenthey reproduce, and where and whenthey migrate.

Two years ago, the same SCDNRteam affixed a satellite to Harry-Etta’spredecessor – another female tigershark, dubbed “Harry-Ette,” whosesatellite tag was also sponsored by

the Harry Hampton Wildlife Fund. InSouth Carolina, adult tiger sharkstypically range between 10 to 13 feetin length, with females reaching larg-er sizes than males.

For several years, SCDNR biolo-gists have worked to better under-stand these large predators throughcollaborative work with the shark-tagging nonprofit OCEARCH, chartercaptain Chip Michalove, and Collegeof Charleston researchers. The workhas shed light on the importance ofSouth Carolina’s southern sounds(particularly St. Helena and PortRoyal Sounds) as foraging and poten-tially nursing grounds for tigersharks.

“This is actually the third timewe’ve encountered Harry-Etta,” saidSCDNR biologist Bryan Frazier, wholeads the agency’s shark-taggingefforts. “She was tagged with a con-ventional tag in 2013 by charter cap-tain Chip Michalove and again bySCDNR in 2015 in Port Royal Sound.This time, we were able to apply aSPOT tag, allowing us to follow hermovements over the next year.”

SPOT (Smart Position orTemperature) tags are small devices

secured to a shark’s dorsal fin thattrack movement by sending signalsto a satellite, or “pings,” each timethey’re above water for more than 90seconds. Like humans, each shark isunique in their habits of movement –so some animals ping frequently,while others surface only rarely.

There was something else notewor-thy about Harry-Etta this timearound, Frazier said: “We also con-firmed she was pregnant by ultra-sound, so we can gain insight intowhat habitats she uses during gesta-tion.”

Harry-Etta is the fifteenth tigershark Frazier’s team has fitted with asatellite transmitter in South Carolina– but the first one known to be preg-nant. In recent years, fresh matingwounds found on other tagged tigersharks have led the team to believethat South Carolina’s southernsounds and nearshore waters couldbe important locations for tiger sharkreproduction.

About Harry-Etta’s name: TheHampton Wildlife Fund was estab-lished in 1981 and named for SouthCarolina conservationist Harry R.E.Hampton. Dedicated to the conserva-tion and protection of the state’s nat-ural resources, the Fund has nowsponsored two satellite tags for track-ing tiger sharks, both of which havebeen named in Harry Hampton’shonor.

“I’m happy our board, led byChair Deidre Menefee, unanimouslyvoted to fund a second tag,” saidHampton Wildlife Fund executivedirector Jim Goller. “We’re proud tosupport SCDNR in their efforts tostudy these magnificent creaturesthat frequent South Carolina waters. Ifish St. Helena Sound where Harry-Etta was tagged, making this tigervery special to me. We are all superexcited and can’t wait to follow heron the OCEARCH website.” Learnmore about the Fund online.

In the “Firearms” & “Firearm Training” business, we getasked a lot of questions. We try to answer the questions tothe best of our ability, no matter how many times during theday we have been asked the same question. So… we wouldlike to share our knowledge and experience with everyone,in hopes that they help a new gun buyer or new shooter inwhat can be a very confusing endeavor to transition from anewbie to an experienced gun owner. We encourage you toseek out experienced advice, do research and then make aneducated decision.

All you must do is turn on the news to see why this issuch a common question:Question:

Can I carry a firearm into church?Answer:So, to properly answer this question, we must separate thequestion into 2 basic questions:

#1. Can I carry/possess my every day carry (EDC)firearm in my church, or other established religious sanctu-ary property, with a Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP)?

#2. Can I carry/possess my every day carry (EDC)firearm in my church, or other established religious sanctu-ary property without a CWP?

#1 is the easiest and shortest to answer. In short; no! Here’s a quick explanation foryou, according to SC State Law: Section 23-31-215 (M) (9), Does NOT authorize a per-mit holder to carry a concealable weapon into a (9) church or other established reli-gious sanctuary unless express permission is given by the appropriate church official orgoverning body.

That all leads us to #2…Even with a CWP, you still can’t just carry into a church.A church does not have to post a sign restricting its members or guests from carrying

into the facilities/buildings/sanctuaries. It also allows for whomever oversees the church,the Governing Body, to provide express permission to a person(s) with a Valid ConcealedWeapons Permit, to carry concealed in the church.

Many of the local churches have or are creating Armed Security Teams. Basically,Members of the congregation whom are active Concealed Carriers and have a validConcealed Weapon Permit, willing to accept this roll. These Members typically will trainand discuss security matters on a regular basis. Most Firearms Instructors will tell you thatthe Skills needed to be technically and tactically proficient take time and practice… GoodPractice, and usually a lot of time.

With all that said, we encourage you to talk with your Pastor, Preacher, Deacons, orwhomever makes the big decisions, and consider putting together a “security team”. Nowalso know that there are State laws regulating “Security Companies” and the use of actual“Security”, due to licensing regulations. Meaning you can’t just throw on a jacket thatsays “Security” and walk around armed, so do your homework.

There are several Firearms training companies out there that will come out and evaluateyour current Security or assist you in creating a security team. Personally, I don’t believea church should give a thumb up to just anyone who has a CWP. Not everyone with aCWP is ready to respond to a mass violence scenario that we have seen in the news lately.These teams should be training as a group regularly, walking through scenarios and thencritiquing each other’s weaknesses and building on their strengths.

This is a scary time we live in to think that you need to have armed security at church,however it seems like it is getting more and more necessary. Be proactive! Talk to yourChurch. It’s better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it!

As always, be safe! Get out and TRAIN!!!If you have a question that you’d like answered in the next article of “Ask the

Experts”, please contact Larry at [email protected] Williams is a graduate of Conway High School and an 8 year United States

Marine Corps Combat Veteran. Larry is a former Police Officer of 12 years, serving as aState Certified Firearms Instructor & SWAT Team Member.

ASK THE EXPERT

Can I carry a firearm into church?By Larry Williams

Wintertime is agood timeof the yearto move,transplantor establishnew plants,includingtrees. Thesoil in ourarea doesnot freezeduring the

cold temperatures of winter so planting plantsduring this time will allow the root system togrow becoming established before the heatand stress of summer arrives.

Development along the coastal regions ofthe Carolinas has been on an up-swing over

the last decade and probably will continue forthe near future. When property is developed,a loss of existing trees is almost a certainty,especially on large tracts of lands beingdeveloped with large structures. Althoughmany will take umbrage with the act of ‘clearcutting’, in some situation this may be bene-ficial assuming there are no large specimenor protected trees on the site.

On large tracts of land, the day to dayoperations of land development can, and usu-ally does cause stress on existing trees. Thechange of soil hydrology along with theincrease of soil compaction and the bringingin of ‘soil fill’ around trees will, and in mostcases, does cause the loss of these trees inseveral years. Tree plans can be developed bycertified arborists on sites where the develop-er is willing to work with tree protectionstandards to save trees but these plans need tobe strictly adhered to. Needless to say, inareas of rapid growth, tree preservation anddevelopment will always butt heads.However, tree preservation should alwaystake precedence when possible. The reasonsfor tree loss can be many and can come inmany forms. No matter how tree loss hasoccurred, reestablishment of trees is criticalfor the urban environment.

The first step to reestablishing trees in thelandscape is to survey the area and analyze

the soil conditions. Soil conditions areextremely important in tree culture. You willneed to match the trees you want to plantwith the existing soil conditions. Is the plant-ing site wet or dry? Is the soil sandy or doesit have a good amount of clay? How welldoes the site drain? Soil testing will give thechemical component makeup of the soil but itis also very important to analyze the physicalcondition of the soil. You may need to plantyour trees on raised mounds in poorlydrained, wet soils where the addition of acompost material may improve the nutrientand water holding capacity of a sandy soil.

Once you are confident that your soil willsupport tree growth, the next step will be todecide what type of tree you want. Deciduoustrees will lose their leaves in the fall and willbe bare during the winter. This may give yousome fall color and will allow sunlightthrough the canopy in the winter to aid in saywarming of a deck. Evergreen trees will holdon to their leaves during the winter and couldprovide some late season shade if wanted.Some trees will provide early spring or sum-mer flowers. However, some trees are messydropping leaves and fruit. This can be a prob-lem in certain areas especially in heavily usedsites. This will be an important decision andthorough research of specific tree species willneed to be done.

Most important in tree species selectionwill be overall size of the mature tree. Youwill want to plant a species of tree that cangrow to its full, mature size without intrudingon anything around it. Be careful when plant-ing large trees close to any structure. Be verycareful around any overhead power lines asyou do not want trees to grown into them. Inshort, match the tree to the site.

Once your research is done and you aresure of your tree choice and location, it istime to plant. Trees will usually come aseither balled or in container. Larger tress willusually be balled while smaller trees willcome in containers. Keep in mind that small-er trees may be easier to get established thanlarger balled trees. If the tree is balled, makesure it was dug properly and the root system

hardened off before it was dug. This involvespruning the roots back several months beforedigging to allow the tree to adjust to thereduced root system naturally.

The planting hole should be dug no deeperthat the depth of the root ball. Avoid disturb-ing the soil below this as the tree may sink asthe soil settles. The planting hole should be 3to 5 times wider that the root ball or contain-er. This will allow the roots to spread outunimpeded. Roots need oxygen to grow andthe majority of these roots are in the top footof the soil. It is important that these roots arenot buried too deep or covered with excessivesoil. A small soil ring can be constructed outto the drip line of the tree to aid in holdingwater and the area can be lightly mulched.Do not put any mulch right up next to thetrunk. Leave about 6 to 8 inches of mulchfree soil in this area to avoid trunk diseases.

In the absence of rainfall, the newly plant-ed tree will need supplemental watering. Aslow hose or tree gator can be used to do this.On very sandy soils with excessive drainage,you may need to water several times a weekduring dry weather. In soils that do not havevery good drainage, once a week or biweeklymay be all that is needed. A watering sched-ule for newly planted trees is sight dependentso you will need to determine by feel howoften your tree will need watering.

Tree planting and establishment can be arewarding endeavor as long as you followrecommended guidelines. Those areas thathave been developed without regard to treepreservation can become an urban forest onceagain over time. Properly selected treeswhich are planted properly may be healthierand more in tune with the site than those leftto endure the wrath of construction activities.Next month we will discuss native as well asintroduced tree species that thrive well in theclimate along coastal Carolina.

Great Choice For New Construction!

Twas the night before duck season, and allthrough the house. The calls were blowin’…Not quiet as amouse.

The camo stockings were hung from therafters with careWaders, pants, coats and boots—-don’t youmove, don’t you dare!

The boys were jumping, on all of the beds As visions of mallards danced in theirheads

And hubby in his mossy oak, and I in mycap Please clean up this mess, please clean upthis crap!

When out on the lawn, arose such a clatterI looked out the window to see what wasthe matter

Two black labs with a bounce and a barkAnd I thought to myself, they’ll wake mewhen its dark!

When what do my wandering eyes shouldappearBut a boat full of decoys with more andmore gear

On Pintails, on Cans, on Green Heads andWoodieHe’ll be gone for weeks…For the love ofducks….How could he?

But his eyes how they twinkled, his dim-ples how merryHis cheeks would be wind-burned, his noselike a cherry.

His lips will be chapped, drawn up like abowAnd his one wish…well, that would be forSNOW!

He spoke not a word, and went straight tohis workSo I took a deep breath, not being a jerk

Walked down the hall, away from the clut-terNot a bad word, I so wanted to mutter

And I grabbed a large glass, and filled itwith cheer And whispered to me…I hope it’s a greatduckin’ year!

There are many healthconditions that could beconsidered a “familyaffair”, meaning that theentire family might beaffected. An illness suchas cancer, which mayrequire intensive treat-ments, is one such exam-ple. A temporary condi-tion such a broken leg might require thefamily to do more to assist the injured per-son. Other physical disabilities that requiredthe use of a wheelchair could necessitatemoving to a new house that allows for aramp. However, other conditions such asminor vision impairment that can be correct-ed with eyeglasses might not be a big con-cern for the entire family.

What about hearing loss? After all, it isthe person who cannot hear well who hasthe problem, right? Not really, and this issuedeserves more attention than it receives.Hearing loss affects the entire family. Thereare many challenges for those with hearingloss, and for those who are living with them.In many cases when we are in our homes weare more relaxed and might have some com-munication habits that are not ideal. We maytalk to our family members who are inanother room, while the TV is on and thedog is barking. The dishwasher may be run-ning or there may be other noisy back-ground noises. People with normal hearingcan have challenges in these instances.People with hearing loss have it worse.

Hearing loss can create frustration for all.If the television is too loud, one family mem-ber may have to choose to tolerate it, orleave the room. If sleep schedules clash, oneperson may have disrupted sleep due to thevolume of a TV or radio. If people withhearing loss do not enjoy social gatheringsbecause it is too hard to communicate, theymay decide to stay home. Their family thenhas another choice to make: go alone or stayhome.

There are certainly tips, technologies andsolutions that can make life easier for thosewith hearing loss and their families. One ofthe best tips to help communications with ahearing impaired family member is to gettheir attention first. Yes, it’s simple, but it

will do quite a bit to make lifeeasier. We all get absorbed inwhat we are doing at anygiven moment and gettingtheir attention first at leastensures the person is aware ofa conversation. Other tips:

• Try not to change topicswithout giving warning. If youstart talking about the plans

for the upcoming weekend and then sud-denly launch into an unrelated topic, yourfamily member may have difficulties follow-ing the conversation.

• Slow down a bit. Encourage those pre-cious grandchildren and others to do thesame. Encourage good communicationhabits for all. Pauses in the conversationhelp too!

• Mute the TV and turn down the radiovolume. When an important conversation istaking place, be sure you have eliminateddisruptive background noises.

• Learn about your loved one’s hearingloss. It can seem as if they aren’t listening orhave “selective hearing”. This may be thecase, but it’s more likely their hearing lossaffects some pitches more than others. Thatmeans they can hear some voices andsounds better than others.

• If it is vital information you are relay-ing, double-check that you were understood!

• Being a “human hearing aid” can alsobe a challenge. If your loved one has diffi-culty using the telephone, or cannot hearemergency warning signals, consider themany options to help. The Hearing LossAssociation of America is a great resource:hearingloss.org

Communication is a two-way street. It isthe responsibility of the person who is talk-ing to do what they can to make it easier. Itis also the responsibility of the person withhearing loss to use technology to make lifeeasier for all. That includes acknowledging ahearing problem, and taking the steps toobtain help. If both parties do their part, lifecan be easier!

Please give us a call at 843-272-1486 for afree hearing evaluation!

We look forward to hearing from you soon!Jennifer Reed & Kayla Bracey,

Hearing By Design.

An injury, and the resulting pain, are themost common reasons that people seek chiro-practic care, according to Dr.George I. Traitsesof Scarborough/Markham, local OntarioChiropractic Association (OCA) representa-tive.

“As the treatment progresses, the pain grad-ually diminishes. However, it is important tounderstand that chiropractic care does not treatthe pain, it treats the problem,” says Dr.Traitses.

Pain is a symptom that something is wrongbut it is often the final symptom, only presentin the very late stages of a health problem. Forexample, a cavity may be present for yearsbefore a toothache develops. Or, a heart attackmay be the first symptom that a cardiovascularproblem exists.

Says Dr. Traitses, “The spinal situation ismuch the same: nerve impulses may beblocked by dysfunctional vertebrae (bones) inthe spine — called subluxation by chiroprac-tors — without causing pain. That’s possiblebecause some 85 percent of nerve fibers donot transmit pain signals. So, although the

messages normally transmitted throughout thebody by nerve impulses are being interrupted,there are no apparent symptoms.”

The nervous system acts as the body’s mas-ter controller, much like a computer or tele-phone system. Our brains are constantlyreceiving information from and transmittingmessages to all the tissues and organs in thebody, although we are not aware of theprocess. Through this feedback loop, the nerv-ous system’s job is to ensure that the entirebody is functioning optimally.

“Chiropractic treatment corrects the sublux-ations and allows the nervous system to per-form at its best, therefore allowing the body tobe as healthy as possible,” says Dr. Traitses.

Chiropractors are licensed as doctors,authorized to diagnose and treat conditionsconcerning the spine, muscle and nervous sys-tems. Chiropractors work to promote optimalhealth and wellness through positive lifestylechanges.

Chiropractic Treats The Problem, Not Just The Pain

with Dr Daniel A Falk

Outdoor TruthsBy Gary Miller

I had been in the stand only 15 minuteswhen the doe appeared. When it crossed thepath I came in on, she immediately smelled anunfamiliar odor and followed it with her eyesto my tree stand. Now, she was at full alert,trying to bring into focus the blob that was inthe tree. She moved to my left trying to windme but was unable to satisfy her curiosity untilI had come to full draw. I landed what Ithought was a good shot. It was a little highbut I was sure it did the job. Instead of a pass-through shot, the arrow stayed planted in herside. I knew this would present a few prob-lems, but I was still confident. After nearly

three hours, I left without finding the deer or even one spot of blood. Mydisappointment still haunts me; not the disappointment that comes froma missed opportunity, but the kind that comes because shot deer aremeant to be found and are meant to supply food for the table. Otherwiseit’s a needless death. For nearly three hours I hunted for that one lost andwounded doe. I was not concerned with spooking a buck by ramblingaround or in getting back into the stand to find another one. I was intenton finding the one that had strayed and was now lost. It was moreimportant to me, for her sake, to leave the others in order to find her. Myheart was literally broken when I left unsuccessful.

As I thought about this story that had played out, I was reminded ofthe story in the Bible about the lost sheep. That story tells about a shep-herd who had 100 sheep. One of the little lambs became lost and insteadof staying with the 99 that were together, he went after the one that hadgone astray. This was the illustration Jesus used to describe God’s desireand love for each of us. The Bible says He sent Jesus to seek and to savethose who are lost.

You may think that God wants nothing to do with you because youhave wandered away. You may think He has no desire to find one whenHe has 99 others. But that’s not God’s way. His way is the way of thedeer hunter who searches diligently for the one who is wounded, hurt,and lost. His way is the way of persistence. And His heart is brokenwhen the lost are not found.
