November 10, 2011

On Friday, November 11, Beaufort community members can show their respect to the men and women who’ve dedicated a lifetime to serving our country by attending the Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony.

Edward Ray, Beaufort Country Veterans Affairs Officer, said small tributes like attending the parade and ceremony go a long way in showing appreciation: “Our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen deserve a great deal of appreciation for preserving our

freedom and our American way of life. The gratitude of our citizens means a lot to them.”

The parade begins at 9:30 a.m. at Rogers Street near the national cemetery and will move along Boundary Street toward downtown, onto Bay Street, right onto Bladen Street and back to the cemetery.

At 11 a.m., the Veterans Ceremony will have a keynote speech at Beaufort’s

Beaufort and the boxing world lost a legend when Smokin’ Joe Frazier died

from liver cancer at age 67 on Monday, November 7.

Smokin’ Joe Frazier was born Joseph William Frazier in Beaufort, South Carolina, on January 12, 1944. He is considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all times. Frazier left Beaufort at the age of 16 and moved first to New York and then Philadelphia, escaping the poverty and segregation of the South to pursue his dream to box. He won the Gold Medal in the heavy-weight division at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He turned pro and went on to hold the heavyweight title from 1970 to 1973, defeating Muhammad Ali in the “Fight of the Century” in 1971.

After retiring, he opened Joe Frazier’s Gym in one of Philadelphia’s troubled neighborhoods to train urban youth. Governor Mark Sanford awarded Frazier the state’s highest civilian honor, the Order of the Palmetto, on September 27, 2010. Frazier would visit Beaufort several times a year and family members still live in Laurel Bay, some on the same 10 acres where he grew up.

STRAiGHT TAlK: FROm OUR mAYOR

Here is an email I received on Monday morning November 1:

“Visited your city last Tuesday and received a parking ticket for an expired meter. My fault. I don’t understand how you can promote tourism for your downtown area and not provide free public parking. This is nothing but a money grab run by a private company for the city. Talking with some of the business owners they are not happy with the situation. I’ll never visit your city again and will spread the news. John D Cespedes”

My Response on Monday afternoon, November 1:

Dear Mr. Cespedes: Thanks for your kind and thoughtful

note. I am glad you had an opportunity

to visit beautiful Beaufort and am sorry our value proposition of fine shops, excellent restaurants, our world class waterfront park, the open vistas throughout our city, the ancient moss draped oaks and history whichever way you turn, is not worth giving up a little something.

“Giving a Little Something” has nothing to do with city revenue, since parking revenues are invested — through Main Street Beaufort and our City Redevelopment Commission — directly into downtown improvements for the people who live here and those who visit and for marketing our special downtown. Fees do not go into the city operations budget.

The reason Beaufort has had paid parking since the 1930’s is because the merchants asked for it. Unfortunately, it takes parking fees and fines to prevent all day parking by some downtown merchants and their employees who, up until we started the current system, were dominating parking thereby making it nearly impossible for locals and visitors to find spaces.

The good news, for the merchants, residents and visitors, is that we can now find spaces to park in the greater downtown area.

Ironically, in this sense, it appears that what bothered you actually made parking more available to you and

others.The City’s Civic Investment Plan

calls for a parking deck, with perhaps lower or no fees. But, a $5 million plus investment out of a $14 million annual budget for a city of only 12,000 moderate to low income people, half of whom rent, is not likely in the foreseeable future when the private sector engages as a partner in this lofty ideal.

When I recently received a ticket for an expired meter and paid it knowing I too was wrong, I realized that it is not a bad thing because the reason for meters and fines creating better access to downtown stores and restaurants. We have suggested to the merchants who have complained that they provide parking tokens to their customers and we agreed to work with them on a program to do so whereby they could purchase tokens at a discounted rate. As of yet, none have stepped to the plate.

And finally, you should know — notwithstanding the few who are not in the majority — the current system with modifications was developed and recommended by the downtown merchants. And that using the outside vendor, as opposed to police officers managing parking, saves the city money, and even more importantly ensures police officers remain focused on the public’s greater safety.

Again, I am glad you came to Beaufort, sorry you got the ticket and hope that once you cool off you will reconsider. Should that happen and you give me adequate notice, I will be happy to take you to lunch downtown and personally foot your parking tab. The value is great.

Beaufort is a very special place and we do the best we can, as a small city, to make it even better. We market our city to tourists and those considering

relocating to the area because we believe we have something of great value to share. We are grateful that visitors shop, dine and often use overnight accommodations. Some just sit in the park and watch the boats passing. And we are happy to be able to provide the hospitality.

By chance, when you visited, were you able to see the fantastic Robert Smalls and Beaufort Infantry exhibits at Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Verdier House on Bay Street, attend the nationally acclaimed Gary Sinese Band’s Wounded Warrior Benefit Concert, attend the regionally renowned Shrimp Festival or visit some of the most unique art galleries in the region? Or stop by the Bay Street Outfitters, take one of its renowned guided fly fishing tours, see the Metropolitan Opera or Swan Lake at the USCB Arts Center, partake in the Historic Beaufort Annual Tour of Homes, attend the some of the many activities at ARTworks, enjoy high tea at the Beaufort Inn or simply take time to sit on a swing and enjoy the southern breezes and vistas from the bluff (no parking fees on the bluff ) or the serenity of the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park when you were here? Or did you visit some of our historic homes, churches and graveyards, some of which are centuries old. Or take a class at USCB’s Osher Life Long Learning Center or The Technical College of the Lowcountry. I hope you did not need the services of our exceptional Hospital which, through a partnership with Duke University, has the best heart and cancer care facilities and programs in the Southeast.

I certainly hope you had the time and interest to take in some of our exceptional offerings, meet some of our friendly and welcoming citizens and will, once you cool off, tell others as our community works hard to foster and promote these types of activities for those who live in and visit the best hometown in the world.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and to share your thoughts.

Responding to visitor criticism

Just after midnight on November 3, the Lady’s Island St. Helena Fire District was called to the Alston Road neighborhood of Lady’s Island for the report of a possible house fire. Information given to 9-1-1 was that the caller could see their neighbor’s home completely covered with fire.

The first fire engine arrived in a matter of minutes of the call and was told by the neighbor that she feared the two male occupants of the home were still inside. “When we arrived there was a moderate amount of fire and a large volume of smoke coming from one side

of the home” reported Jon Bekemeyer, company officer of the first in fire apparatus. Jon then relayed his findings to the additional in coming units and set about finding the homes occupants.

Firefighters made entry into the structure and fought to keep the fire contained to one side of home to minimize damage. While Jon and his crew were fighting the fire and searching for those feared inside, the occupants were thankfully not found to be in the home at the time of the fire. Firefighters were able to keep the fire damage compartmentalized to one side

of the home as the fire was extinguished within 20 minutes of their arrival.

While the fire was quickly extinguished and contained to one side of the home, the rest of the structure was rendered uninhabitable due to smoke damage. Firefighters, Paramedics from Beaufort County EMS, and Sheriff ’s Officers from the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Officer were on scene for approximately three hours extinguishing the fire and investigating its cause. The official cause is still under investigation as preliminary findings have been inconclusive.

weekend crime rePOrTs

Compiled by Tess Malijenovsky. Crime Report items are chosen from the files of the Beaufort Police Department. Please contact the police with any insider information on these cases.

AlcOHOlicS ANONYmOUS: Last Saturday, an irate female customer at Smokers Express threw a can of beer at a clerk, damaging the credit card machine. The woman left the scene but a warrant was obtained for her arrest on account of vandalism of property. Now, if she had just stuck to what she came there for (uh, smoking?) there wouldn’t have been said problem. Go to a meeting, girl, it will change your life.

DEFRAUDiNG AN iNN KEEPER: Relax, incident reports tend to sound a lot more dramatic than they truly are. See what happened was a broke female ate a meal at Applebee’s for $11.32, probably the Asiago peppercorn steak with herb potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Well, see, she ate that meal knowing she couldn’t pay for it and then tried the not-so-old-fashion dine-and-dash maneuver in which one leaves a restaurant without paying. However, an employee stopped her and held her until officers arrived. Oh snap, that’s embarrassing. She should probably try the $5.99 all-you-can-eat lunch combo.

URBAN PUNcH: Yes, there exists an Urban Dictionary, and according to the Urban Dictionary, the word “punch” can be used in several dozen urban turn phrases. For example: punch buggy, punch bunny, punch break, punch a giraffe, punch a cranky, punch a grump, punch a kitten, punch the munchkin, et al. (Review the terms at your discretion.) Which, however, could be used to describe the situation last Saturday night at Panini’s in which a male was punched in the side of the head, leaving him knocked out and in the arms of the EMS? How about this description for “punch face”: “1. A reference to the type of face adorning someone who you want/need to punch in the face, with or without justification; 2. A face that immediately makes the person seem like a complete tool and makes you want to punch it.”

YOU’RE NOT iN KANSAS ANYmORE: It’s sad the day has come that Beaufort is no longer a safe place to leave your cars unlocked, un-fearing that someone won’t steal your belongings inside. Two cars were robbed in the same location last Sunday on Church Street. A purse and a GPS were stolen from one unlocked vehicle, and tools and miscellaneous items were taken from another car that was locked, granted, but the widow was down. Those of you following the Weekend Crime Reports understand, but for you others: roll your windows up and lock your cars because everyone’s crap is getting stolen in town from the vehicles. BONNiE & clYDE: Not quite the love story, but a couple did manage to collectively receive four charges last Saturday: one count of Public Drunkenness, one count of Malicious Injury to Real Property, one count of Criminal Domestic Violence and one count of Disorderly Conduct. At only 10:30 p.m. at Applebee’s (yes, the same Applebee’s) an intoxicated Clyde jumped onto another person’s car and dented the ride. When the intoxicated Bonnie tried to get him to stop, Clyde threw her to the pavement. Once he was arrested — for the first three above-mentioned charges — Bonnie began “causing a scene” and was incidentally arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Ah, true love.

ARTworks’ after school program spans visual, performing, and literary arts. When students, 6 to 16 years old, entered the studio-classrooms in the fall session, they created paintings on bark paper, baskets with reeds, gargoyles out of clay, short stories with inspiration from maps of Beaufort County, mandalas with compasses, and delved into nature art and the black box theater.

When the classes ended, the students were asked what they had learned. Yancey Morena, said that he learned about “cutting the clay a certain way to make a box. People should make art so they can express themselves through a brush and their hands.” He mentioned that the clay class fueled his interest in

origami.Like all the students, the basket

making crowd filled out the survey about what they most proud of, and what they had a hard time with, and the answer to both questions was often “my basket,” which means that these kids tackled the process and produced a piece of art about which they can feel accomplished.

Brenden Glover also took the creative writing class (his third at ARTworks) and said that “I could write a story about it, to tell people how to make baskets, and put instructions in.”

Felicity Swanson seemed to comprehend her early artistic career in very practical terms: “I’m not really an artist, but I can say that I am really

good at drawing pictures.”November and December classes for

Seven Lowcountry artists, with great international flair, fill the Charles Street Gallery in Beaufort with scenes of salt marshes, kayakers, horse paddocks, green rolling hills, Jordanian architecture, and French cabbage gardens. Join them for a reception and celebration of new work on Friday, November 18, at 5 p.m.

Joan Templer fills the first floor gallery of the renovated home in historic downtown Beaufort. Her work is always grand, and can focus to bring a particular tonality to the viewer, or her canvas can open up into a wild neo-primoridial scene from Africa.

Her book, Joan’s Eye, d o c u m e n t s her career, and is also available.

The Charles Street Gallery d e d i c a t e s their second floor to the work of Lynn Brown, Sharon DeAlexandris, Carol Henry, Jim Rothnie, Sara Timmons, and Nancy Sturgis. The work of these six artists celebrates the wide world of colors, imagery and scenes that drip,

slide and smudge from their brushes and esoteric artist tools— they know how to trumpet vibrant tones, share with holiday joy, and spread around beauty, as delicious as chestnuts on an open fire.

Meet the artists and enjoy the reception on Friday, November 18 at 914 Charles Street in Beaufort. The Charles Street Gallery is an established source for Lowcountry and international art, presented within a carefully renovated house surrounded by a lush garden in the middle of Beaufort’s historic district. 843-521-9054, thecharlesstreetgallery.com.

When Jim experienced significant knee pain, he turned to the orthopedic program at Beaufort Memorial. Our surgeons are among the first to use a new generation in computer navigation to “custom fit” knee replacement. �e result is a better fit and a faster recovery time — both good reasons our orthopedic program is rated one of the best in the region.

No one likes to think about death and dying, but it’s something everyone has to face eventually. There’s an incredible resource in our community that provides comfort, dignity and respect to all those coping with a serious or life-limiting illness. It’s called Hospice.

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to reach out to our community to raise awareness about the compassionate care that Hospice Care of South Carolina provides.

One of the most important messages to help people understand is that hospice care helps patients and families

focus on living.The Hospice Care of South Carolina

team provides expert medical care to keep patients comfortable and able to enjoy time with loved ones. Our local team answers questions, offers advice on what to expect, and helps families with the duties of being a caregiver. The team also provides emotional and spiritual support for the entire family.

The hospice benefit is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and by most insurance plans and HMOs. Hospice care is provided in the home, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and long term care centers.

Hospice care is available to people of

all ages, with any illness. Hospice Care of South Carolina professionals and trained volunteers will ask you what’s important and listen to what you say. They make your wishes a priority because every moment matters.

If you or a loved one is facing a serious or life-limiting illness, the time to find out more about hospice is right now. You will find a press release attached to this e-mail. Hopefully, you will find space in your paper for this wonderful community announcement.

Hospice Care of South Carolina, 843-605-3155, www.hospicecare.net.

National hospice care month

Throughout any given year, families experience the loss of someone they loved very much and who died. Perhaps their loved one died in a traffic accident, committed suicide, died in a fire, drowned, or possibly died in a war. In many instances, the loved one may have died of natural causes.

In each instance, loved ones were left behind to deal with their grief and sorrow, struggling to continue in life. Hospice Care of America will hold our annual Community Remembrance Gathering for all of those who have lost a loved one and who want to join with others to remember someone who was very special to them. The event is an open house style gathering with light refreshments and interactive healing stations from 4 until 6 p.m. at Church of the Palms located at 1425

Okatie Highway (S.C. 170) in Okatie, South Carolina. Hospice Care of America cares for families and patients confronting a life limiting illness.

“Those of us in hospice care realize the need for grief support and how important it is for people to work through their grief,” stated Sara Nolette, administrator for Hospice Care of America. “Our annual Community Remembrance Gatherings in the past have been very meaningful for those who have attended,” Nolette said.

“Those attending light a candle in remembrance of their loved one. This year we will be adding additional remembrance activities, and have designed the event to be interactive throughout.”

Participants are encouraged to bring a special remembrance ornament or a symbolic personal item to hang on our Hospice Care of America Christmas tree in remembrance of their loved one. Upon request, all items will be available

for pickup post holidays. Those attending in the past have found the gathering to be helpful.

“There is no formula for dealing with grief and loss,” said a Beaufort resident who attended last year. “You never get over the loss. I would encourage people to attend, at least one time. I think the gathering is of particular value to those who have had a recent loss.”

This event is open and free to the community. It offers and provides a creative planned time for those who have lost a loved one to participate in a symbolic activity, and connect with others in a safe and comfortable environment conductive to remembrance activities. Light refreshments will be served.

To register or for more information about the Community Remembrance Gathering, please call Jeannelle Benek at 843-785-5901. Hospice Care of America serves Allendale, Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.

Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCPwww.blb-boutiques.com

By Takiya SmithOver the past couple of months,

and rightfully so, pretty much all of my beauty articles have focused on women. Talk of eyelash extensions, eyebrow threading, makeup, hair, skin, nails, and all things girlie have no doubt sprinkled the articles. All for the sake of beauty, fashion and women, however, it has come to my attention that a good bit of readers following my articles are male. Surprised, and equally humbled and appreciative as I was to grasp this newfound knowledge, I now embark on a new mission. Just as Jesus and His disciples spread the word of God, I now vow to spread the beauty gospel amongst all that will hear and receive, both male and female.

Do the words “male” and “beauty” have any business being combined in the same sentence and spoken out of our mouths? Emphatically, I say, yes, absolutely! Spa

tendencies, we will call them, are not just for females. Many flourishing spas and salons cater to pampering our men with services such as facials, manicures, pedicures and waxing. Present day society seems to be so wrapped up in the matter of fact ideals that men who visit the spa or salon for such services must someway, somehow, lack a true manhood. So, the name “metrosexual” has been given to the brave souls who are not moved by whispers behind the salon chairs and just flat out know that rigid, dirt covered fingernails and hard calloused feet are no way to catch a date at all.

The term “metro” when referred to a

male, is insistent of one that is, in fact, very much secure in whom he is. The metro male has no qualms or hang ups with walking into a spa, sans his better half, slapping down his charge card and booking a traditionally female dominate spa service. Affectionately dubbed for it’s common prevalence in urban, city men, the metro male clearly recognizes that his self-preservation is priority and makes no hesitations about it.

As the industry would have it, I myself make no judgements and welcome many a male client into my facility, in which they are treated fairly, as well as pampered. Services ranging from facials to threading of the brows, beards and mustache area keep these mighty “metro” males coming back for more.

Are you a metro male or do you feel that the spa is for women only? Visit my beauty blog and post a comment at www.blb-boutiques.com.

The metro male: A manly must

Whenever we become sick or fall ill to the latest string of a flu or virus, it is only natural for us to turn to our helpful medications and medical treatments for assistance. Whether you are suffering from a painful ankle sprain or a simple headache, these medications can give serious relief and help you speed up the healing process.

In fact, these medications and treatments are so helpful when we are sick that we don’t even notice the most dangerous, and most overlooked aspect of them — the side effects.

While most medications boast relatively non-threatening side effects such as headaches, pains, or nausea, more serious treatments often come with more serious consequences for patients. For example, a new study conducted by researchers from Oregon Health and Science University have found that certain breast cancer medications and treatments may trigger various vision problems in patients.

Throughout the study, researchers

looked into the visual and ocular effects of several different medications that were prescribed for three different phases of early-stage breast cancer. These phases included adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy, adjuvant endocrine therapy and symptomatic relief.

After following numerous patients who were prescribed with these treatments, and monitoring the overall health of their eyes and vision, it was shown that these various medications prescribed actually had a significant effect on vision and ocular health in several different ways.

The most common side effect of these treatments came from cytotoxic chemotherapy, a common treatment

routine for many people who undergo breast cancer treatments. The side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy was found to cause epiphora and ocular surface irritation in patients.

Epiphora is a vision condition which constitutes insufficient tear film drainage from the eyes, resulting in an overflow of tears that will fall down onto the face rather than through the nasolacrimal system. This vision problem (also known as watering eyes or tearing) can sometimes create difficulty seeing when driving and reading.

The other side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy, ocular surface irritation, is the decline of the quantity and/or quality of the tears that our eyes produce, and the increased evaporation of our eyes’ tears. Ocular surface disease often results in symptoms of dry eyes, discomfort, visual disturbances and potential damage to the ocular surface of the cornea.

Another therapy commonly used in breast cancer treatment is the selective estrogen receptor modulator, tamoxifen.

This longtime therapy that is used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer has been shown to increase the risk of posterior subcapsular cataracts.

This particular type of cataract affects the back of the eye’s lens, starting as a small, opaque area that forms right in the path of light on its way to the retina. This can often interfere with your day-to-day sight, creating blurred vision, glare or halos and interrupting your vision in bright light.

Fortunately, most of these vision problems can be properly diagnosed and treated by your eye care professional. Preservative-free artificial tears and thicker ocular ointments such as Refresh PM can help with dry eye symptoms during and after chemotherapy. Cataracts can be surgically removed. If you have any questions about these eye symptoms or think you may have one of the vision problems described above, be sure to schedule a consultation with your ophthalmologist. Soon enough, you can be on the path to clearer vision in no time.

The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Tourism Division is pleased to announce John Basile as the new Account Executive. He will be responsible for leading the Division’s sales efforts to strategically grow not only the organization, but also area businesses within the community that benefit from tourism marketing efforts — all with the vision of positioning Beaufort as a premier leisure, event and group meeting destination.

Blakely Williams, President of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, stated John will play a crucial role in the organization of continuing to build and strengthen relationships with area businesses to portray the value the Chamber has within the community. “We’re adding even more advertising programs to our list of offerings to better serve our partners. John is joining our team at the right time to kick these off and to begin work on our next Visitors Guide. We couldn’t be more excited to

have him on board,” she said.“I look forward to meeting all of our

partners in the community and working with them to help grow their business,” John said.

John can be contacted at [email protected] or at 843.525.8533. Questions regarding tourism-related advertising opportunities offered by the chamber, including web site, eNews, interactive kiosk, Visitor Center display, leads programs, and more, may be directed to him.

partners in love and lifeKit and Louis Bruce

profileAn in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

Beaufort has been described as being a very small town filled with fascinating people who found their way here by very circuitous routes. And Kit and

Louis Bruce are the epitome of that observation.Kit founded and runs the very successful Port

Royal Farmers Market and Louis is a renowned painter of Lowcountry scenes. Together they also founded the Palmetto Brewery in Charleston. Here’s their story:

Pat Conroy’s latest novel “South of Broad” describes exactly the kind of world Kit grew up in her family’s 18th century home at 60 Meeting Street in Charleston. The graveyards and the Battery were her playground.

Louis’ Southern roots are more midstate (Beech Island, near Augusta) where his great, great, grandfather James Henry Hammond was governor of South Carolina and coined the famous term “Cotton is King” and turned the Citadel into a military academy. Louis, however, was raised outside of the South in Santa Barbara, Ca., and on Long Island because of his father’s work.

A chance meeting between Kit and Louis at the famed “Garden and Gun Club” Disco in 1979 through a mutual friend resulted in a marriage that just reached 30 happy years.

When they first married, Kit opened a windsurfing shop with a friend in Mt. Pleasant while Louis started working for her father in his paving and grading business. They had a friend who was a chemical engineer at Milliken who would come with his wife down to Charleston for windsurfing with them which included trips to Maui, Florida, and Hood River, Oregon. It was there in Hood River at Full Sail Brewery, a micro brewery and brew pub — a new concept at the time — that they hatched the idea of starting a brewery in Charleston, to be called The Palmetto

Brewery. Says Louis, “I have a degree in biology, worked for a wine importer and knew something about marketing and distribution. My partner was a top notch chemical engineer that worked for Milliken building industrial processes. Kit knew our distributor, Pearlstine, personally. I knew Charleston was the right place at the right time.”

Kit and Louis did every job that needed to be done in the beginning. Says Kit, “I designed the Palmetto Brewery logo on the kitchen table, cut and paste, literally, no computer.” By this time, Louis had bought out the paving business from Kit’s father and he sold this to provide the start-up money for the brewery and brew pub.

They did tastings, rented the space for all sorts of occasions and while Louis promoted the beer, Kit worked the bottling line making boxes and six packs before it was automated. Their chemical engineering partner and fellow windsurfer built the infrastructure of the plant which today, with their combined efforts, has become one of the most successful regional beers in the U.S.

Success allowed Kit and Louis to indulge their love of travel and it was on a trip to Florence, Italy, that Louis was inspired by its beautiful light. He tried to buy a painting in a local gallery and after much run around from the store manager, the artist decided not to sell the painting. (It was his favorite). Louis decided at that moment he would come home and paint the scene himself. That was 500 paintings ago. Says Louis, “I enjoy the freedom, the challenge and the creativity. I’m obsessed, passionate.”

The amazing part is that up until that moment, he had never thought about painting or had any training in it. What started as a hobby — taking painting lessons while running the brewery — turned into a life-altering passion. He became

a silent partner in the brewery business he had founded in order to pursue his love of painting.

It was on a chance visit to friends in Beaufort that Kit says they fell in love with the area and saw an uninhabited “shotgun shack” in Port Royal, that was in disrepair and decided to buy and renovate it, “much to the Realtor’s surprise,” says Kit.

Kit’s current occupation is as a grant writer for Friends of Caroline Hospice and founder and manager of the Port Royal farmers market.

Louis has an amazing second story space in the Saltus Building at 802 Bay St., with its original 18th century spiral staircase, that serves as his working studio and gallery for his iconic Lowcountry marsh landscapes that he paints on location around Beaufort. He describes his occupation now as “founder and co-owner of Palmetto Brewing Co, landscape painter and farmers market flunky.” (He’s the one putting up the tents at 6 a.m.) Adds Kit, “Louis is my boy. We do it all together. Whatever it takes.”

Kit’s farmers market has been going for seven years now and has gone from five farmers serving 50 people to 35 vendors serving up to 1,000 customers on Saturday mornings at the Ribaut Road location. Kit started it to find and support local farmers and make good locally grown whole food, including organic, available to her friends and neighbors. She now sends out a weekly e-blast to thousands of loyal customers.

However Kit and Louis Bruce found their way to Beaufort, it’s certainly become to Beaufort’s benefit that they did.

To get Kit’s weekly farmer’s market updates or to become involved as a seller, please go to portroyalfarmersmarket.com.

school newsA focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

By Tess malijenovskyBarb Ferrier, a mother of an army

captain, was inspired to start a unique program called Pillows for Patriots two years ago before her son left for a third tour of duty in the Middle East. “I knew he’d be calling me and saying, ‘Mom, can you send me a pillow and a set of sheets’,” Ferrier recalls.

Soldiers sent into combat are only issued plastic, blow-up pillows, and there usually aren’t stores or comfort items available for purchase abroad. Therein Ferrier noticed the need for pillows for soldiers in combat and asked her friends to help her make 150 pillows to send over.

John and Patrick Harris of the local family-owned business Harris Pillow Supply Co. donated the first 150 quality, durable pillows, and soon after the nonprofit program Pillows for Patriots was born.

There are no administrative costs to the program, which means that 100 percent of all donations are used to either buy pillows or ship them. The program has shipped more than 40,000 pillows to soldiers in combat zones already in its first two years.

“Without the continuous support of Harris Pillow Supply, this program would not be possible,” says Ferrier. “As part of their donation and their very generous

support, they make the pillows at their manufacturing cost at $2.50 each.”

Ferrier is currently trying to raise $2,550 to send 850 men and women that belong to a Charleston-based, South Carolina guard unit, which would require no shipment cost. She receives pillow shipment requests over the Internet from all over the country and ships 25 pillows at a time to combat troops already in Afghanistan and Iraq, or to units recently deployed.

A simple comfort such as a decent pillow can easily be taken for granted, but it boosts soldier morale and provides a solid break from adrenaline. In a testimonial to the program, Semper Fidelis, Sgt. Maj.

Kevin Williamson of the Second Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, said:

“Most of my Marines out here are living under in fairly austere environments and any small comfort item is always welcomed. As important as sleep is, the more comfortable I can make them, the better rested and attentive they will be while on patrol or guard duty.”

To help this program continue, donations can be made in the form of checks addressed to Pillows for Patriots, 1 Hermitage Pointe Beaufort, SC 29902. Visit www.pillowsforpatriots.org) to download a donation form or pillow shipment request form, or check out the Facebook page.

TAP schools improve, teachers eligible for bonusBy Tess malijenovsky

Once again Beaufort County Schools are leading the nation in excellence, this time with the TAP teacher advancement program. Last week Dennis Dotterer, state coordinator for TAP, told Board members that fifteen of South Carolina’s 58 TAP schools are located in Beaufort—the most of any district in the state—and teachers at eight of those 15 were eligible for performance pay bonuses ranging from $580 to $4,800. The two highest-achieving TAP schools

in the state last year were Beaufort Elementary School and Whale Branch Middle School.

TAP is one of the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching’s (NIET) initiatives to provide teachers with opportunities for career advancement, ongoing professional development, a fair evaluation system and performance-based compensation. Its key goal is to develop, reward and retain effective teachers who serve minority and disadvantaged students.

“Teachers at TAP schools can earn higher salaries and advance professionally without leaving the classroom,” Dotterer said. The pay bonuses are based on classroom observations, individual student achievement and school-wide achievement. Another quality of the program is that it measures individual students against their previous test scores. Dotterer said that Whale Branch Middle and Beaufort Elementary, in particular, posted “growth scores that are rarely seen.”

Beaufort and Lady’s Island middle schools introduced TAP in 2002, followed by Whale Branch elementary and middle schools in 2006. Since then, the program has expanded to include Robert Smalls Middle, Beaufort Elementary, Broad River Elementary, Shell Point Elementary, Battery Creek High, Shanklin Elementary, St. Helena Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary, Port Royal Elementary and Mossy Oaks Elementary.

Pillows for Patriots

The Technical College of the Lowcountry was recently awarded two grants from the U.S. Department of Education to enhance the College’s capacity to serve low and middle-income African- American students. Both grants, which were awarded through the Predominantly Black Institutions Program, are expected to total $3.65 million over the next five years.

“These grants perfectly support the College’s increased emphasis on student success,” TCL President Dr. Tom Leitzel said. “The opportunity to broaden and intensify our impact on student achievement will greatly enhance our

ability to help students reach their goals.”Vice President for Student Affairs Dr.

Matteel Jones added, “TCL students will be positively impacted by this project and will have extra support in achieving the success that they deserve.”

The first award is a formula-grant that focuses on improving student success in TCL’s developmental education courses. This five-year grant will enable TCL to establish an on-site and online writing lab and expand its existing math lab. In addition, TCL will design and implement developmental reading, math, and English courses with rolling entry at multiple levels. TCL expects to receive $250,000 per year for five years.

The second grant was awarded through a competitive grant program and will fund the continuation of project PILAU, which is named for a popular Lowcountry rice dish and is an acronym for Promoting Integrity, Leadership, Academics and cultural Understanding. Under this grant, TCL expects to receive $600,000 per year for the next four years.

PILAU is designed to improve the educational outcomes of African-American males enrolled at TCL by creating a learning community that supports academic success, retention, persistence, and completion outcomes. The new grant will also fund a

learning program to immerse PILAU participants in the fundamental concepts of an entrepreneurial mind-set.

PILAU offers intensive academic interventions to ensure student success in securing an associate’s degree through full-time enrollment at TCL. Participants develop leadership skills, successfully complete courses, enhance self-esteem and pride, and gain a better cultural understanding of Gullah and area communities. PILAU began in 2008 when TCL received a two-year PBI grant totaling $1.1 million.

For more information, please contact Grants Administrator Pat Irwin at [email protected] or 843.525.8317.

Reynolds was a student at Beaufort Academy during his short, but full-of-adventure life. The Reynolds family rewards this scholarship in celebration and remembrance of Reynolds. Re-cipients must possess many of the qualities that people loved about Reynolds, for example strong lead-

ership and athletic ability and the respect and friendship of class-mates, in addition to maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 during the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Awarded to a 10th grader, the scholarship offers $1,500 toward the student’s college education.

Annual Needs Assessment Survey postedThis week, the Annual Needs Assessment survey for each school and for the district will be posted on the district website and on each school’s web-site. There are versions in both Spanish and English. Parents are encouraged to respond to the school and district survey as this information will help in the development of the School Renewal Plan update due later in the year.

Local veteran service organizations and ladies auxiliaries will be there, with various local businesses, school groups, civic organizations, fire departments, state and local elected officials, the Water Festival Pirettes and the Patriot Guard Riders.

A reception will follow the ceremony at the AMVETS Post #70 (1831 Ribaut Road, Port Royal). Come rally on and make the parade and ceremony your duty this Veterans Day.

During Military Family Month, the Wardle Family YMCA is saluting those who serve our country and their families. The Wardle Family YMCA is a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community, and that strengthening begins with ensuring all people are welcome and can find connectedness — as in the case of families that are separated while serving our great nation.

In addition to celebrating contributions and sacrifices local military personnel and their families make to Beaufort County, the Wardle Family YMCA offers $0 membership joining fees for active military and up to two hours of childcare while you work out in the facility with family memberships.

“Military families face numerous challenges when a loved one is deployed, and the Wardle Family YMCA offers a supportive environment to make the situation more manageable,” said Michael Bostwick CEO, Wardle Family YMCA. “During Military Families Month this November, we encourage everyone in Beaufort County to see how they can get

involved and show support for people who are defending our freedoms.”

The Y is committed to helping families learn, grow and thrive by providing programs and services that help families build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance and become more engaged with their communities.

First established by Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) and recognized by First Lady Nancy Reagan in 1993, ASYMCA’s Military Family Month recognizes and pays tribute to military personnel and their families for their dedication and service. On October 30, 2009, President Barack Obama continued this important initiative by proclaiming November 2009 as Military Family Month, and calling on “all Americans to honor military families through private actions and public service for the tremendous contributions they make in the support of our service members and our nation.”

By Jack SparacinoOne of the first things we liked about

our new home in the Lowcountry was its dock which sits on a tidal creek. Right away, we noticed hundreds of mud minnows swimming in the shallow water. My first thought was “hmm, minnows around our dock.” My second thought was, “hey, BAIT!” And lo and behold, I’ve been catching fish down here ever since using those minnows. Trout, redfish, flounder, croaker, bluefish, ladyfish, sharks, rays, even the occasional whiting. Plenty for Jane and I and our friends, many of whom would otherwise not have much access to fish for dinner that were caught the same day.

Now as effective a bait as live minnows are, I’ve always preferred using artificials — and these work extremely well in Lowcountry waters. They have other advantages, too — you don’t have to chase around for bait or be concerned about keeping it alive or fresh in the freezer, and lots of times you feel the fish’s strike harder and more directly. But that’s a subject for another day.

Back to live minnows. They really have only one serious competitor for live bait when in-shore fishing here, and that’s shrimp. Just about everything that swims will eat shrimp and they are excellent bait. This includes the best

game fish you can catch readily in very shallow water — sea trout, redfish and

flounder — but also lots of fish you may not want to bother with. We’re talking bait stealers such as pinfish and small grunts. So be prepared when fishing with shrimp to take along dozens of them and be ready to lose lots of them. They are relatively fragile and just won’t stay on the hook very long if almost anything with an appetite is swimming nearby.

So minnows have some advantages as bait in local waters. Here are my top “de-baiting” points.

1. They are extremely plentiful, easy and nearly cost free to trap. They will eat almost any protein (I like using fish skins best) or even stale bread.

2. You don’t necessarily need any other

tackle except for a rod, reel, line and hook. A small split shot (bullet) sinker is useful if the tide is running more than one knot or so, but when the current is slack or close to it you can often forego the sinker and simply live line your bait. If you like, you can use a float; the best ones rattle.

3. Minnows are hardy. They keep well in a bait holder (available at tackle supply or hardware stores for around $10) and stay active on the hook better than shrimp. It’s not a big deal to catch a second nice fish on the same minnow you started with as they often come back in one piece.

4. They really work like crazy. I caught my first seatrout over 20 inches (and my second, third, and fourth) on minnows. Also large (too big to keep) redfish and beautiful flounder.

So next time you want to take a kid

or a novice friend fishing and agree that nothing succeeds like success, bring along a pail of live minnows in addition to whatever else you had in mind. There’s no “debaiting” it, minnows are a great bait here.

In closing, I’d like to share a favorite and very simple recipe for preparing flounder. We used this recently on a nice one I caught locally and it was delicious.

1. Gut the flounder, cut off the fins; leave on the head and tail unless the pan is too small to accommodate the whole fish (or you prefer not to look at them).

2. Heat butter with a little olive oil in a large skillet; add spices such as Old Bay to taste.

3. When the skillet is hot, place the fish in with eyes up.

4. Cover pan and cook several minutes, depending on fish size.

5. Turn flounder over with spatula and continue cooking a few minutes until skin is golden brown, adding a little white wine you would normally drink (optional).

6. Place fish on plate and use fork to pull back the skin. Pour butter/oil mixture from pan over the fish.

7. Serve with lemon wedge and your favorite sides: cole slaw, salad, small red potatoes, etc., and favorite beverage.

To bait or not to bait: The great debateJack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in refereed journals in psychology and medicine. He is retired and now lives with his wife, Jane and their three dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.

Who doesn’t just love a dinner party with friends? Part of what makes the

holiday season so much fun is the dinner parties and get togethers that we attend and throw.

Wow your guests with eye-catching centerpieces and elegant place settings this season. For a sophisticated and glitzy but balanced look that won’t be too over the top, make sure to stick with nature’s natural elements. For example, fresh fruits, slender branches and berries combined with fall florals can look fabulous and will garner a lot of ohhhs and ahhhs from your guests.

This season, look for metallics to add a touch of modern to your tablescape. Coppers and bronze are a lovely addition to any traditional table to give it pop. Keep in mind textured elements like seed-beaded placemats, bamboo napkin rings, lace inspired table covers with jewel toned table runners, colorful glazed pots and vintage glassware and plates. Complete the look with an amazing fresh bloom terrarium.

Here are a few ideas to get started:1. Use pinecones. Dress up a simple

table setting by gathering pinecones from your yard and lightly spraying them with glitter. Then, use your glue-gun and glue pearls onto the pinecone giving it a studded look. (Instead of glitter spray, you could also whitewash

the pinecone.) Attach each guest’s name tag to the finished pinecone with wool and set on top of a folded linen napkin, then set on plates.

2. Use rustic elements. Incorporate wool, knits, fabrics, fresh greenery from your yard and woodsy textures.

3. Cast a glow with candles. Flickering candles and votives look amazing when surrounding any centerpiece, especially when the lights dim for your dinner party. Make sure to stagger the heights of the pillars and don’t be afraid to use different sizes, widths and colors.

4) Mini pumpkins and gourds with fresh fruits and veggies bring an organic feel and look stunning on a table.

This week, we are going to learn how to fashion a beautiful centerpiece with branches, twigs fresh greenery and flowers. You will need a shallow waterproof tray, (Look for something that is unique and has character), two bricks of oasis, your waterproof oasis tape, some fall colored pillar candles, plenty of branches, pinecones and berries from your yard (try eucalyptus, cedar and pepperberry) and last, but not least, your favorite fall inspired flowers. I used black magic roses and chartreuse spider mums. We want the centerpiece to be low and long rather than high, making it conversation-friendly for your guests who are sitting at the table. I like the spider mums for

their fluffy, airy look. If you do not want to use the spider mums, hydrangea or viburnum will give you a similar look.

Fill the tray with water and place the pillar in the middle. Take your pre-soaked oasis blocks and tape on either side of the pillar. Tape with the waterproof tape so that the blocks are secure. Using your longest branches first, start inserting from the bottom and go up finishing with the smaller branches. Make sure to integrate all the different types of branches you have collected to give the centerpiece texture and depth. Start adding your greenery and insert in similar fashion as you did the branches and twigs. Now, add your roses and mums distributing them in an even fashion. Finish the look by draping the berries over the sides of the arrangement. Surround the centerpiece with mini votive candles in matching fall colors. Step back and enjoy!

has passed as I prepare for the collection of items for Festival of Trees Gift and Gourmet for Royal Pines. This year, I am again Royal Pines’ volunteer liaison for Festival of Trees. For those who are not familiar with Festival of Trees, it is an annual event designed to raise money for Friends of Caroline Hospice — a nonprofit United Way agency that provides home care for patients with a life threatening illness. Friends of Caroline Hospice provides help through care but with an assortment of programs not only designed for the patient but for their families as well.

The Festival of Trees runs from December 5-10 at the Charles “Lind” Brown Neighborhood Activity Center formerly known as The Greene Street Gym. The Gift and Gourmet Shop sells donated items at the event. There are a variety of ways you can choose to get involved including working a two to three hour shift at the Gift and

Gourmet shop, baking goods (holiday wrapped), making handmade items valued less than $50, donating items such children’s books and jams or jellies or a tax deductible monetary donation. Please contact me at [email protected] or 322-0472 if you decide to contribute. In the past, the Royal Pines community has generously donated in various ways and I hope we can continue with that generosity again this year.

If you would like to participate in this Royal Pines Community endeavor, please drop off your donated items to me on Saturday, Dec. 3 between noon and 5 p.m. at 4 John Calhoun Street or you may deliver them directly to the Greene Street Gym on Sunday, Dec. 4 between noon-5 p.m. and let them know you are a resident of Royal Pines. Thank you in advance for your contributions.

Beaufort Relay for Life kicked off its fundraiser with dance tunes, karaoke singing by Samee Cannon, a hearty buffet provided by Gilligan’s restaurant, deserts baked by the Beaufort Belles, team games, and a multitude of door and raffle prizes Sunday, November 6, at the Marine Corps Air Station. Relay for Life has great fun for the sake of a serious mission: raising money for the American Cancer Society to find a cure for cancer.

Northern Beaufort County’s Relay for Life won the 2010-2011 state award for the greatest increase in money raised — $101,939 — up 71 percent from the year before, which couldn’t have been achieved without the support of its community. The kick-off party signified the debut of fundraising for the next Relay for Life event to come Friday, April 27, at Beaufort Middle School.

For those unfamiliar with Relay for Life, it’s an overnight relay-style event in which team members take turns walking around a track over night to symbolize how cancer never sleeps. The family-friendly community event is one special night to remember those lost to cancer, support those facing cancer and raise money for the American Cancer Society so that one day cancer can be eliminated.

“What people need to understand is

that this research is for our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren. The cancer’s here, but we want to find a cure,” says Linda Arp, chairperson of Northern Beaufort County Relay for Life and the founder of the local woman support group, Beaufort Belles.

The race traditionally begins with the Survivor Lap, in which cancer survivors are invited to circle the track in recognition and celebration of the strides made in curing cancer. At night there is a luminaria ceremony to remember

loved ones lost with a touching display of decorated candlelit sandbags. Throughout the night members can partake in any of the numerous activities, crafts and games going on at the different team tents. Finally, the relay ends in the morning with a Fight Back personal commitment, whether it’s seeking regular screening tests, quitting smoking or signing up for a Relay team for the following year.

The “teams” are families, business groups or organizations with as many or

few members that want to sign up. Each team sets a personal fundraising goal and can raise money anyway it chooses. There are hundreds of creative ways to help raise money for the cause including contests, business competitions, buying luminary bags for $10, becoming a sponsor on the event T-shirts or signs by making a donation, glamour shots, bowling and fishing tournaments, auctions, bake offs, you name it!

Dana Aiken helped Gilligan’s restaurant raised $3,000 last year by having volunteers wait tables for a night and donate their tips. In fact, this year, Gilligan’s restaurant (2601 Boundary Street) is challenging all other restaurants in Beaufort to join the cause and see who can raise the most money.

Aiken isn’t the only one making a challenge in Beaufort County; Mary Gwen Boyett, a community representative of the American Cancer Society, is also challenging Bluffton and Hilton Head to try and beat Beaufort’s 71 percent increase record. Beaufort is en route already with more than $300 raised in its first day.

Any business, organization or family can make a team or a donation to an already existing team by visiting www.relayforlife.org/beaufortsc or by contacting Linda Arp, 843- 252-7549 or [email protected].

The ABLE Foundation, also known as the Disabilities Foundation for Beaufort County, released its third annual ornament for sale in an effort to help raise money this holiday season for disabled and special needs children of Beaufort County.

The 2011 ornament features a Sea Turtle, which is third in a commemorative series of ornaments featuring favorite Lowcountry scenes. The ornament, which can also be used as a medallion, was commissioned from Steve Weissman at Studio 1 Awards of Hilton Head Island.

A B L E hopes to fund Camp T r e a s u r e Chest, a summer camp for children with special

needs such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome, genetic disorders and autism. This requires additional and special services and trained staff and accommodations, not usually available at regular summer camps. In the absence of the Camp Treasure Chest,

these special needs children would likely not have a summer camp experience. Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated and the camp is almost solely supported through fund raising and grants.

Ornaments are available at several locations in the greater Beaufort area. These include:

• Red Piano Too, Sea Island Parkway at Martin Luther King Drive, St. Helena Island

• Smiles by Wyles Dentistry, Lady’s Island Parkway, Lady’s Island

• Budget Print, Carteret Street

• Greenfish Gallery, Bay Street• Harbor Island Beach and Raquet

Club, Harbor Island• New Image Salon, Parris Ave.• Chamber of Commerce Visitor’s

Center, Beaufort Arsenal, Craven Street• Beaufort County DSN, 1804 Old

The Beaufort Women’s Center has purchased a new building 21A, next to the current location at 25 B Marshellen Dr in the Belleview Business Park. We are now in 21A. The center had wanted a larger building for some time as its grown in services, volunteers and staff. They held a capital campaign and in a matter of three weeks, they were blessed to raise $25,000 which paid a portion of the down payment, and closed on Sept. 28. We actually own the whole building

(21A & B) but Fountain of Life Ministry will continue to rent 21B for a year. At that time, the center plans to expand and occupy both sides. The capital campaign continues to help with the shortage on the down payment and fulfill the goal to pay off the mortgage and eliminate the debt altogether. Additionally, the center will be looking for volunteer painters, framers, electricians and finishers to help with remodeling.

The annual Walk for Life will be held

at the new location Saturday, November 19. Registration begins at 8:30 and the walk will begin promptly at 9 am. It’s very easy to get involved — a route that is only 2 miles. Walkers and sponsors are still needed for this event. It’s so easy — they can walk, run, rollerblade, stroll a baby, ride in a wheel chair, skip or hop.

The Beaufort Women’s Center is a faith-based, pregnancy help medical clinic that offers a comprehensive, practical and life-affirming response to

women or teens facing an unplanned pregnancy. All funds raised will be used to support the Beaufort Women’s Center so they can continue offering free and confidential services.

The walk is a an opportunity to increase awareness in the community and to raise funds to support our ongoing ministry to women from all walks of life.

For more information, call 525-0300 and ask for Jo or Donna.

With cooler weather comes the start of FWDG’s 21st Annual Coat Drive — and a goal of collecting 4,500 jackets, coats and sweaters to distribute to the needy in Beaufort County.

Over the past two decades, FWDG founders Larry and Robyn Mark have shared more than 37,000 gently-used coats with Beaufort County families in need. FWDG has once again chosen HELP of Beaufort, Bluffton Self Help and the Deep Well Project on Hilton Head to distribute the donations to families in need.

Jackets, coats and sweaters can be dropped off at local collection sites through Dec. 31.

“In these tough economic times, there are more and more local families who need help, and that includes help keeping warm through the winter,” said Larry Mark, president of Furniture Warehouse Design Gallery, also known as FWDG.

“Recycling jackets, coats and sweaters is good for our environment, but more importantly, it’s good for our community. The economy has put thousands of families in a position where a used coat or jacket can make a big difference in being comfortable this winter,” he said.

Donations can be dropped off now through Dec. 31 at the following local locations:

• FWDG, Perimeter Walk, 745 Robert Smalls Parkway, (S.C. 170), Beaufort

• Beaufort County BB&T branch offices:

other organizations often hold Coat Drive blitzes from one day to several weeks within their organization. They can designate a central coat collection point at their business or organization.

The Coat Drive was started 21 years ago by the Marks, longtime Lowcountry residents and business owners. Located at 745 Robert Smalls Parkway in Beaufort, one mile east of the Broad River Bridge, FWDG at Perimeter Walk is the only one-stop-shop for home furniture and fixtures in Beaufort.

Beaufort’s number one recreational facility was always the Beaufort River. Fishing, crabbing, swimming and boating filled our day’s activities. My fondest memory is winning my first sailboat race in the Lightning Class in the Beaufort River when I was 11 years old. I was proud to show off my first trophy. My love of sailing has continued through my adulthood.

The Habersham Marketplace will host LowCountry Habitat for Humanity’s “Jazz on the Lawn” featuring local blues and jazz band Blue Mudd on Sunday, November 13, beginning at 4 p.m. Tickets are available for $20 by calling the Habitat for Humanity office at (843) 522-3500 or at the Habersham Marketplace beginning at 3 p.m. the afternoon of the event. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit Women Build 2011.

“We’re thrilled to offer our marketplace as a venue for this important event,” said Habersham Marketplace Merchant’s Council President Leslie Pickel. “We want to help give back to our community any way we can and are honored to host.”

Women Build is a project created by

Habitat for Humanity International, and involves the funding and construction of a house by local women. This year’s Women Build is Lowcountry Habitat’s second of these initiatives — the first Women Build was in 2007 and resulted in a house on Prince Street in downtown Beaufort.

The organization generally begins building when they’ve raised $25,000, which is approximately half of an entire house sponsorship. “Jazz on the Lawn” is one of several efforts designed to meet the halfway point.

The Habersham Marketplace is located at 13 Market St. in the Habersham Community, located off of Joe Frazier Road in Beaufort. For more information, event schedule and band listings, visit www.habershammarketplace.com.

Habersham to host ‘Jazz on the Lawn’

By Pamela BrownsteinIndulging in delicious Thai food for

lunch sounds like my idea of a super afternoon, and that’s exactly what the Lunch Bunch did last week at the new Amata Thai Fusion. Located next to Kmart in Beaufort Town Center, the restaurant serves a great selection of Thai dishes that come in big portions and reasonable prices. Owner and manager Rak Tocharoen brings years of restaurant experience and is excited about his new venture.

We tried several mouthwatering appetizers. The Fresh Fusion roll and the Amata Spring roll were both savory, but the crab won tons with sweet and sour sauce were the yummy favorite. The special peanut sauce on the Amata chicken satay was also awesome.

Kim ordered the Pad Kra Prow — stir fry with garlic, onion, string beans, Thai chili, bell peppers, basil leaves — and added shrimp.

Elizabeth had the Pad Kee Mao — stir fried rice noodles with garlic, chili,

onions, cabbage, broccoli, bell pepper, green beans and basil leaves with chicken. She said it is her favorite Thai entree that she always orders.

Buck tried the Med Mamuang Himmapan medium spicy that is stir fry with cashew nut, onions, celery and bell peppers made with special chili paste.

April went with the traditional Pad Thai — thin rice noodles with tamarine sauce with bean sprouts, green onion and ground peanut. We knew it was good if April liked it because sometimes her tastes are particular.

I had my favorite: Massaman curry,

which is mild yellow curry with potato, carrots and onions over rice. It was so indescribably good. Although everyone enjoyed their meals, we all agreed that the Massaman is a must-have.

We were all crazy over the desserts. The black sticky rice pudding was really good, and was Elizabeth’s favorite. Then we tried the fried green tea ice cream and it was outstanding, and Kim ate most of it. Last we had fried bananas with coconut ice cream and it was out of this world. I can still taste the warm, sweet fried bananas, it is definitely a must-have.

Amata Thai Fusion is open Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 to 9 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4 to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 4 to 10 p.m.; closed Sundays. For more information or to order take out, call 843-379-9197 or email [email protected].

Yep, sometimes I do amaze myself. What now? Well, I have fallen in love with a German wine. Definitely not my norm, but, at least, I can pat myself on the back for not being too rigid. So many of us jump to the conclusion that German wines are sweet. Many of them are, but, in fact, German wines run from very sweet to very dry. Not only is this sweet perception a strike “against” them in our minds, they also tend to have lower levels of alcohol. And who wants that?

German wines are primarily produced in the west of the country, along the Rhine River and its tributaries. The oldest wine-producing estates date back to the Roman era. The total vineyard area in Germany, though, is only about one tenth of the vineyard area in Spain, France or Italy. The total wine production is about 1.2 billion bottles per year, making Germany the eighth largest wine-producing country in the world.

The wines from Germany are primarily made from Riesling. This grape at its best makes aromatic, fruity and elegant wines. The white grape variety originated in the Rhine region. In addition to its aromatic quality, Riesling displays a flowery almost perfumy bouquet as well as high acidity. In terms of importance to the world wine business, it is usually included in the top three white varieties, after Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling as a variety is highly “terroir-expressive.” (That means its wines reflect the soil where the grapes are grown.) For German Riesling wines, a characteristic balance between fruit and mineral

flavors is the style. The grape is rarely blended with other varieties, almost never exposed to commercial yeast for its fermentation and (usually) never given any oak aging. The sugar levels of the grapes at harvest are very important because that is what determines the dryness in the finished wine. The wine makers are very aware of the balance of acidity — partly the green tasting malic acid (granny smith apples) and the more citrus tasting (lemon) tartaric acid. In cooler growing years, the harvest may be delayed until November to reach the desired balance between these two. (None of this comes easy, you know.)

For our wine this week, we go to the Mosel River area. This river flows through the heart of Europe. Temperatures here aren’t too cold but conditions at the northern 50 degree latitude make the Mosel the most northern area for top quality grape vine growing. Viticulture has been present on the Mosel since the ancient Romans brought cultivated vines about two millennia ago. The unique geology and climate of the area plus the cool continental climate from Atlantic Ocean influences coming over the mountains make great grapes the norm. Our wine comes from a town called Leiwen in this area. With about

1,112 acres of vines, Leiwen is one of the largest wine villages in the Mosel region. The Weis family has owned the land for our wine for centuries. The grandfather of the current owner, Nik, founded the winery in 1947. In the early years, he built cellars and winery buildings on the hill of Leiwen’s outskirts. He named his estate for the patron saint of German winemakers, St. Urban Hof (“Hof ” means “estate” in German.) In the 1960’s, his son, Hermann, took over running the operations. During this time, the nursery grew to become one of Germany’s largest. Hermann also was interested in expansion and, in 1989, he bought some of the Mosel and Saar’s (another tributary of the Rhine River) top sites in several nearby villages.

In 1997, his son, Nik, came into the family business. He is the one responsible for the lovely wine we’re going to have this week. (At the bottom of the front label, the phrase “Nik Weis Selection” says so.)

For our wine, Nik has sourced the

best quality grapes from neighboring vineyards. Just like he is a blend of his family’s traditions and modern life, this wine is a combination of traditional roots and 21 century tastes. Starting with the bottle, it is neither green nor brown, the two traditional German wine bottle colors. It is tall and thin, but no cork — it too has a screw top, like so many more bottles every day. And the wine? Urban Riesling — a nice simple name to remember. It shows brilliant fruit and Mosel-slate mineral flavors, lively acidity and ripe floral aromas. If anything, this Riesling leans more to the dry side, with lemon zest notes and a crispness in your mouth that keeps you sipping and sipping. The extra long finish is like a lingering reminder of what your mouth just tasted.

At $10.99, we can all enjoy this wine often. And, let’s not forget, Riesling and Thanksgiving dinner always work well together. Try it then, try it now, try it often. Then we’ll all be able to pat ourselves on the back! Enjoy!

Urban Riesling is a product of St. Urban Hof winery, owned by the Weis family. The current owner, Nik Weis, has sourced the best quality grapes from neighboring vineyards. The wine is a combina-tion of traditional roots and 21 century tastes.

When the markets turn as volatile and confusing as they have over the past year, even the most patient investors may come to question the wisdom of the in-vestment plan that they’ve been following. At Hand and Tanner Financial Group, we’ve seen a lot of difficult markets come and go. And we can certainly empathize with folks who find the current environment troublesome and disturbing. We’d like to help, if we can, and to that end, here’s what we offer:

A cup of coffee, and a second opinion.

By appointment, you’re welcome to come in and visit with us. If we think your investments are well suited to your goals-in spite of cur-rent market turmoil-we will gladly tell you so, and send you on your way. If, on the oth-er hand, we think some of your investments no longer make sense, we’ll explain why, in plain English. And, if you like, we’ll recom-mend some alternatives.

Either way, the coffee is on us.

While they have limited ability to communicate verbally, real canine language is richly visual, articulate with subtle body movements and very intuitive when it comes to understanding their humans. Dogs try to talk to us, but if we don’t know the subtleties of their language we miss most of what they are trying so say. This may cause confusion and misunderstanding and may be one of the reasons for behavior problems.

People tend to get into trouble when we approach other species as we would humans, face-to-face, making full eye contact; we often hug, putting our faces together, often kissing the cheek in greeting. To a dog this is a threatening gesture and it is deemed inappropriate and rude. Dogs tend to greet obliquely; the dog that puts its chin or paws over another dog’s shoulders in greeting is probably making a statement about his rank which may elicit an aggressive response. This is why dogs tend to bite kids (or adults) who hug them. A hug triggers a “Threat! Fight or flight” response. If the dog can’t run (because he’s being hugged), he may bite. Dogs can, of course, be trained to accept a hug graciously, but unless you’re sure of your hug-ee, it’s best to forego such intimate behavior.

Humans make direct eye contact when greeting. Those who do not are often thought of as shifty, dishonest or disrespectful. In Dogville, direct eye contact can be perceived as a threat or assertion of dominance. In a healthy greeting one dog will look away, an act of submission, or they will glare eye to eye and a dogfight may follow. This is one reason why children are often on the receiving end of dog bites. Kids tend to stare at dogs and the more peculiar the dog behaves, the more the child stares. This happens to adults, too. Best to look at a spot on the horizon over their shoulder for the first few seconds.

People will also square up and face each other in conversation. If the conversation doesn’t go well, one or the other will begin to get louder to emphasize his point. In older dog training methods we were taught to stand in front of our dogs, arms at our sides, and yell, “come!” in a commanding tone. We called louder and more stridently if our dogs did not

respond. Dogs view full-frontal communication, especially when yelling is involved, as a threat. (So do people, for that matter.) Now we understand that the “come!” is much more successful when we take a warm and welcoming stance and call his name in a joyful tone of voice.

Humans like to bend over a dog to pat them on the top of the head or cuddle them. With all good intentions, we are unwittingly presenting a posture of intimidation. After decades of working with dogs, I am still guilty of this one especially if the dog is uber-cute or interesting to me. Dogs don’t like “hovering”. Remember how it felt when your fifth grade teacher hung over your shoulder in math class? Dogs will back away in fear or submission, step back and bark maniacally or worse, become aggressive and snap.

Often clients will tell me that they’ve “done the Alpha roll” on their dog and that the dog behaves better for it. In Dogville, dogs view the Alpha roll as a violent, terrifying attack. If he seems to behave “better” afterwards, it’s more likely that he’s simply scared to death you might do it again. Relationship-building is more successful if fear and intimidation are not part of the package. Most dog language is very subtle and nuanced. The “belly-up” position is usually offered voluntarily and not because the other is an outright bully.

We need to watch and learn from our dogs. With practice we will find ourselves more able to communicate in a more enriched and sophisticated vocabulary. Plus, it’s fun to learn a new language.
