Southport, NC (May 27, 2011) "I
loved the plane ride. The lighthous-
es looked so tiny from up there!"
exclaimed eight-year-old David
Dew at the 3rd Annual CIS Big Toy
Day at the Cape Fear Regional
Jetport on Saturday, May 21. David
and one hundred sixty-four other
kids were give free airplane rides
courtesy of the Brunswick County
Airport Commission and the EAA
Chapters 939 and 297.
Whether a child preferred planes,
cars, trucks, or animals, the event
held something special for
everyone. "I want to
drive a cement
truck," proclaimed
f i v e - y e a r - o l d
William Chiulli
from the cab of
the Southport
Concrete cement
mixer. Designed to
provide a fun-filled
educational experience
for kids of all ages, the day gave a
behind-the-scenes peak into the
careers of pilots, truck drivers, fire
fighters, law enforcement agents,
military services, sanitation crews,
construction workers, ani-
mal trainers, and
more. "It's a great
opportunity to
interact with the
services which
keep the commu-
nity running -
Progress Energy,
the police and fire
departments, the
Coast Guard - they all
came out to meet the kids," said
Chad Murray, visiting from Wake
Forest with his daughter Skylar.
Organized by Communities In
Schools of Brunswick County, Inc.
(CIS), Big Toy Day 1s a family-ori-
ented event first and a fundraiser
second. "We're all about keeping
kids in school and helping them
prepare for life," said Board
Member David Kesterson. "It's
wonderful to see the community
come out to talk to kids about their
jobs and get them excited about the
future." The event showcased over
75 exhibitors and attracted 1,400
attendees of all ages.

Summer time is the perfect time
to lighten up your taste buds and
table with crisp wine choices. Want
something light and refreshing that
will pair perfectly with all of your
summer salads and seafood dishes?
Deviate from the boring
Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios
and discover a well known secret.
Try a Pinot Gris!
Pinot Gris is a mutant clone of
Pinot Noir and has been prevalent
in the Burgundy Region of France
since the middle ages. It's a white
wine with clean, crispness that cap-
tures a summer day on the palate,
making it an interesting and cre-
ative choice
The United States' sweet spot for
Pinot Gris is found in Oregon.
However, Pinot Gris is starting to
pop up all over the place, even here
in North Carolina
Sample more than one from dif-
ferent vineyards and countries to
decide which fits your taste and
menu selection best. You can find
Pinot Gris in most wine locations.
Quality and price differs. Check
out your local wine shop or The
Grape & Ale, on Oak Island for
more detailed information. Here
are a few selections of Pinot Gis'
that can be found there.

2011 People’s Choice Awards Celebration

Dosher Memorial Hospital,
Southport, NC, has been awarded
a three-year term of accreditation
in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) through the American
College of Radiology (ACR). The
ACR accreditation of Dosher's
MRI service completes the hospi-
tal's year-long goal to gain accredita-
tion in all of its diagnostic imaging
modalities. In addition to MRI,
Dosher has received ACR accredi-
tation of its Computed
Tomography (CT), Nuclear
Medicine, Mammography, General
Ultrasound, Vascular Ultrasound,
and Breast Ultrasound. Also,
Dosher has received accreditation
of its Cardiac Ultrasound service
from the Intersocietal Commission
for the Accreditation of
Ecocardiography Laboratories
(ICAEL).
The ACR, headquartered in
Reston, VA, awards accreditation
for facilities for the achievement of
high practice standards after a peer-
review evaluation of the practice.
Evaluations are conducted by
board-certified physicians and med-
ical physicists who are experts in
the field. they assess the qualifica-
tions of the personnel and the ade-
quacy of facility equipment. the
surveyors report their findings to
the ACR's Committee on
Accreditation, which subsequently
provides the practice with a com-
prehensive report.
"Full accreditation of all of our
imaging modalities is a great
accomplishment, making Dosher
Hospital a leader in the Brunswick
County area in achieving full
modality accreditation," said
Connie Pitman, director of diag-
nostic imaging at Dosher. "Our
process of gaining full imaging serv-
ice accreditation began about a year
ago. We got the final notice of our
MRI accreditation the first of June
this year." At some point in the
future, all facilities will more than
likely be required to have full
accreditation of their imaging serv-
ices, says Pitman. "We felt it was a
priority to demonstrate the quality
of our services to our physicians
and the patients who put their
trust in us."
According to Pitman, Dosher
Hospital is not only serious about
the quality of its imaging programs,
but also the qualifications of the
individuals who provide imaging
services at the hospital. "We hold
our imaging staff to the highest
quality standards," she said. "Our
Radiologic Technologists are regis-
tered by the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists (AART),
which is the world's largest creden-
tialing organization that seeks to
ensure high quality patient care in
radiologic technology. Also, all of
our diagnostic medical sonogra-
phers are registered with the
American Registry for Diagnostic
Medical Sonography (ARDMS),
which is the recognized standard of
excellence in the field of
Sonography. Dosher requires all
imaging staff to achieve their
respective registries within the first
six months of employment, and
they must maintain it thereafter,"
Pitman added.
All Dosher Imaging Modal i t ies Become Ful ly Accredited

(ARA) - Summer weather means
storm season, and summer storms can
pack a powerful punch. Atmospheric
changes can spawn severe thunder and
lightning storms, tornadoes, hurri-
canes and other extreme weather -
often without warning.
June is the official start of hurricane
season. Even if you don't live in a zone
at risk for hurricane damage, you
should prepare for severe summer
storms. Here are three steps to help
you protect your home and family from
extreme weather this summer:
Step one: Have a planAn emergency preparedness plan will
help everyone in your family know
what to do if a severe storm strikes your
home and community. Your plan
should detail the safest place in your
home to ride out a storm, and multiple
evacuation routes if staying home
would be unsafe. It should also include
a meeting place outside the home in
case family members are not all togeth-
er when a storm strikes. Everyone
should know the address and phone
number of this emergency location.
Store a copy of your emergency plan
in a safe place along with copies of
important paperwork, like insurance
documents, financial information, etc.,
so that you can easily access them if
you have to evacuate.
Step two: Create a storm kitPack a backpack, or plastic bucket
with a lid, full of nonperishable food
and bottled water, a weather radio,
flash light with extra batteries, a first
aid kit, cash and important docu-
ments. Store the kit in a safe, easily
accessible place and make sure every-
one in the family knows the impor-
tance of taking the kit along in case of
evacuation - but only retrieve it if it's
safe to do so. You can find more infor-
mation on building a storm kit at
www.greathurricaneblowout.org.
Step three: Protect your power supplyPower outages often follow on the
heels of a storm, and every year mil-
lions of homes without residential
backup power are left without power
for days -- and sometimes weeks. A per-
manent standby generator can ensure
your home has power in the event of a
significant, extended power failure.
Generators are not just for people in
remote areas, either. Anyone with
young children or older folks at home,
and even home businesses, will benefit
from the security of a generator.
A standby generator, like those from
Kohler, is permanently installed out-
side the home, much like an air condi-
tioning unit. It runs on propane or nat-
ural gas and connects to existing gas
lines. You can incorporate one into
your home whether you have an exist-
ing house or are building a new one.
When the power goes off, the genera-
tor automatically turns on, usually
within 10 seconds of a power loss. You
can use it to power critical appliances
and systems in your home, such as
lights, furnace, air conditioners, refrig-
erators, sump pumps and a home secu-
rity system.
Generators range in output from 8 to
125 kilowatts. If you only need to
power a few key appliances, an 8- to 17-
kilowatt generator should meet your
needs. If you need to keep your whole
house powered, a larger generator is
required. A generator dealer or
licensed electrical contractor familiar
with standby generators can help you
determine the right size for your needs.
You can learn more about residential
backup power and standby generators
at www.KohlerSmart-Power.com.

Southport, home of Zeetlegoo’s Pet &
People Store, is a very
dog friendly town.
Not only do many
local business owners
bring their dogs to
work with them
(think Mike the
Bulldog at Stewarts
Hardware, and
Timber here at
Zeetlegoo’s), but they
also allow people to
bring their dogs into
the store to shop. In
addition to shopping,
there are trails, parks
and restaurants that
allow dogs. The fol-
lowing list of estab-
lishments is by no means a comprehen-
sive list of all Southport businesses that
are pet friendly, but it shows how in this
small coastal town, dogs are welcomed as
part of the family.
A favorite shopping place for Timber is
Lowes Home Improve-ment. He espe-
cially enjoys the Garden Center where
the Sales Associates usually carry dog
treats. Stewart’s Hardware is also a fun
doggy destination with wide aisles and
an outdoor garden department. During
one visit to Stewart’s, Timber was fasci-
nated by a bucket of young goslings, flap-
ping their little wings and making honk-
ing noises just like his Grunting
Migrator toy.
The downtown section of Southport is
also very pet friendly. Several massive live
oak trees provide shade along parts of
Moore Street and North Howe Street,
and of course Franklin Square Park has
some of the finest specimens of live oaks
around. The Franklin Square Park is
host to plays and musical events, a large
Arts and Crafts Festival during the 4th
of July Festival as well as other events
throughout the year. Timber has attend-
ed a few events in Franklin Square Park
and was thankful for the extensive shade
the trees provide.
A quick hop, skip and jump across the
street is Spike’s Dairy Bar, where you can
cool off and satisfy your sweet tooth with
ice cream and frozen desserts, and get a
fresh bowl of water for your canine com-
panion. As you wander through the
downtown shopping
district, there are
numerous wooden
benches in case you
and your pooch
need to take a time
out from shopping.
Last September, the
state’s rule on the
presence of animals
at food service estab-
lishments was
revised to allow dogs
in outdoor areas of
restaurants as long
as they are physically
restrained, do not
pass through any
indoor areas of the
food service establishment, and do not
come into contact with the food, or food
preparers. An establishment’s owner can
decide whether or not to allow cats and
dogs in their outdoor areas. Here in
Southport, a few restaurants have decid-
ed to allow you to bring your pooch.
Slainte’ Irish Pub has a large outdoor
seating area. Fishy Fishy Café has a mag-
nificent view overlooking Southport’s
yacht basin. Their
outdoor rustic patio
bar boasts live music
on the weekends in
case your pup has a
love of music. Taylor
Cuisine Cafe &
Catering has their
outdoor pet friendly
seating area on North
Howe Street in the
heart of Southport.
And if you want to
get out with your dog
and get some exer-
cise, there is the
Southport City Pier
and Riverwalk Trail.
The Trail begins near
the handicapped-
accessible City Pier
and heads west along
Bay Street and
rounds the small bay
of the yacht basin
before winding back
to a boardwalk on a small peninsula.
Wooden signs mark the Trail which fol-
lows the Cape Fear River’s edge.
Riverwalk Trail is located adjacent to
the Southport Waterfront Park, where
pet friendly amenities include a water
fountain, a large grassy area and poop
bag containers. Humans can enjoy the
park benches, two covered picnic tables,
and swinging benches. It is a great place
to sit and bird watch since the Park is fea-
tured on the North Carolina Birding
Trail. In the Spring, flocks of white ibis
can be seen flying overhead as they
return to their breeding grounds on
Battery Island, located in the mouth of
the Cape Fear River. Battery Island is the
site of North Carolina’s largest gathering
of breeding wading birds. Herons,
egrets, and ibises flock to the island by
the thousands each spring.
Regardless of where you take your dog
in Southport, all dogs should be people
and dog friendly, and on a leash. Be cer-
tain to have the dog’s ID tags and rabies
tags on the collar at all times. In addi-
tion, bring some bags for clean-up
because accidents happen. -- Rae S.

Many citizens are utilizing
golf carts in neighborhoods for
short distance
travels. Both gas
powered and
electric golf carts
are being used
for this local
traffic as a more
cost effective
and energy effi-
cient mode of
transportation. In
order for these golf carts to be
operated on any public street,
road or highway, they must be
registered with the Brunswick
County Sheriff's Office.
An application must be com-
pleted and the golf cart will be
inspected by the Sheriff 's
Office. The Crime Prevention
Unit has been
visiting local
communities to
inspect and reg-
ister them on
site. This
process seems to
be convenient
for the local citi-
zens.
If you live in a neighborhood
where there are abundant golf
carts that have yet to be regis-
tered within the county, please
contact Sgt. Bert Reaves at 910-
253-2745 to schedule a
Registration Date in your com-
munity.

Those of us living in coastal com-
munities are certainly not strangers
to the significance associated with
the date of June first. The official
start to the hurri-
cane season
brings with it a
flurry of public
service announce-
ments, television
meteorolog i s t s
running special
hurricane seg-
ments during
their newscasts,
and the phrase "be prepared" comes
up more often that you might even
expect it to at a Boy Scout jam-
boree.
If you are like most beach veter-
ans, you think way back when
about that storm that blew a few
things over and caused some very
inconvenient flooding about 10
years ago, and go about your daily
activities without much more of a
thought. After all, when a REAL
storm starts heading toward us,
there will be time to prepare and
react, right?
That may be true for hurricanes,
but Brunswick County is also sus-
ceptible to wildfires, tornadoes, and
let's not forget the hazardous mate-
rials that are transported via ship
and truck or the nuclear power
plant in Southport. How prepared
would you be to evacuate your
home if given fifteen minutes
notice to do so? Do you know what
to take with you and where you
would go? Do you have a plan?
Here are a few basic things to con-
sider and plan for with your emer-
gency preparedness checklist:
s Medications - If you require
medications, be sure to have an
ample sup-
ply on hand
and take
them with
you if you
need to
evacuate.
s Vital
Records -
Keep your
vital records together in one place
and in a safe container so they may
be gathered up quickly.
s Disaster Supplies - Have a dis-
aster supply kit of basic essentials
which you can use whether you
evacuate or not.
s Pets - Be sure to have pet sup-
plies on hand. If evacuating with
your pet, take food, medication,
and be sure to transport them in a
pet carrier.
s Communications - Designate
an out of town contact for family
members to reach out to in the
event they are separated.
So this year, let hurricane season
serve as a reminder to all of us of
the realities of the world in which
we live, where things can change at
a moment's notice. We must truly
be prepared to keep ourselves and
our families safe. To learn more,
you can visit www.brunswickes.com
or www.ready.gov.

says, "The Brunswick County
A i r p o r t
Commis s ion
has always
wanted to uti-
lize the facility
for functions
like this."
Franklin, a for-
mer CIS board
member, was
instrumental in
ensuring safety
precautions were taken and traffic
to Oak Island flowed freely. He
added, "The Commission believes
this is a great way to support CIS
and hopes to grow the
event in years to come."
The event would not
have been possible with-
out the support of CIS
Board members, staff,
volunteers and their
families. Sponsors

On Saturday, May 21st, eight
Brunswick County 4-H TiLT
(Teens in Leadership Training) par-
ticipated in a photography and
presentation workshop. 4-H teens
that participated, included John
and Dillon Bernheisel, Kenan
Bridges, Will Gauldin, Janzen
Jones, Sammi Lawrence and John
Macon and Savanna Michaux.
TiLT (Teens in Leadership
Training) trains 4-H teens, to plan,
lead and execute the Summer Fun
Camps, with the assistance of 4-H
staff and a handful of volunteers,
through fun and informative work-
shops held during the school year.
The photography workshop was
led by Frank and Stacie Walter of
Time 2 Remember Portrait
Studios, Bolivia, NC. The teens
learned to operate the 4-H cameras,
in order to capture special
moments during the 4-H Passport
to Adventure, Summer Fun camps,
this year. They hand made a spe-
cial piece of equipment to use for
lighting with still shots and also
learned how to adjust ISO's for
indoor and outdoor photography
as well as learned how to take
action shots. They did all this by
the 4-H motto, "Learn By Doing!"
Frank and Stacie did an awesome
job leading our teens!
The presentation workshop was
led by 4-H alumni Dorothy Conley,
a rising senior at UNCW, who has
used her college training and years
of 4-H experience to train many in
the art of public speaking. She
gave an informative, thought pro-
voking workshop. The teens
learned correct presentation for-
matting, how to dress to impress,
dos and don'ts and much, much
more. She was also on hand to
review several of the 4-H teen's pre-
sentations and give them informa-
tive feed-back.
Our next two workshops will be
held in June. The teens will be Red
Cross First Aid and CPR certified
and learn team work, by participat-
ing in a high and low ropes course
at Coastal Horizon's in
Wilmington. Our 4-H Summer
Fun Programs are due to start,
Monday, June 13th. For more
information on our TiLT program,
