After five years as superintendent of the Beaufort County School District, Valerie Truesdale has announced that she plans to retire from her position. She has accepted an offer from the 140,000-student Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system to oversee its technology programs.

After announcing her retirement from Beaufort County last week, Truesdale interviewed for the North Carolina position on Monday. Her appointment was announced Tuesday night after the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board voted its approval, and she will begin work in October.

Her new job will place her closer to her family, a major reason she cited last week for her retirement. Two of her three children, and two of her grandchildren, live in the Charlotte area and will be attending public schools there.

Virtual Summer SchoolIn the case of virtual summer school, each Boys & Girls Club

in Beaufort County — Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Sheldon — offers Compass Learning thanks to

a partnership with the Beaufort County School District. “This partnership with the school district has helped even the

academic playing field for our club members, for different parts of the county and for clubs that have fewer resources,” Chris Protz, executive director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry, said.

Club members at the Boys & Girls Club of Sheldon are in a one-room building that is owned by Beaufort County. Protz said the partnership with the school district included loaning 14 computers to the Sheldon club. Without the use of these computers, Protz said, the Sheldon club would not have the resources to offer the program.

Beaufort is one of just 17 communities nationwide to earn an EPA grant that will help reduce flooding and drainage problems in the city’s historic Northwest Quadrant, Beaufort and EPA leaders announced.

The grant, valued at $50,000, will identify green infrastructure practices appropriate for the Northwest Quadrant and develop conceptual designs for priority projects to address flooding and help preserve the nearby

marsh and Beaufort River ecosystems.The Northwest Quadrant is an

historic neighborhood established following the Civil War by freed slaves looking for work and stability.

“Not only will this grant improve drainage conditions in the Northwest Quadrant, but the solutions are aligned with our ‘green’ approach and also will probably apply to other flood-prone areas of Beaufort,” City Manager Scott Dadson said last Thursday.

With the EPA assistance, the city will create appropriate tools for the Northwest Quadrant that functionally improve the stormwater conditions and aesthetically improve the community.

Traffic Enforcement Team to hold safety checkpoint on Friday, July 27

Members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Traffic Enforcement Team will be conducting a traffic safety checkpoint on Friday, July 27, from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Checkpoint will be held at the following location:

• SC 170 at US 278 (westbound lanes only)This Public Safety Checkpoint will be conducted to

enforce ALL South Carolina State Laws, with emphasis on violations related to driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations and insurance. Drivers passing through the checkpoint will be asked to produce their driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance for their vehicle.

Highlighting the strategic value and cost efficiencies of Beaufort and Port Royal’s three military installations, members of Beaufort’s Military Enhancement Committee took their message to Washington, DC, last week.

Committee members were scheduled to meet with members of South Carolina’s Congressional delegation, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), and with Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) who represents counties involved with the Marine Corps’ Townsend Bombing Range.

The Tuesday-Wednesday meetings also included a session in the Marine Corps’ Commandant’s office and with staff at the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. Both are involved in the push against sequestration.

“We have a dawn to dusk schedule, we have a lot of people to meet and a lot of details to cover, but we are excited about the mission,” said Col. John Payne, chairman of the Beaufort County Military Enhancement Committee.

“This is a fact-sharing trip,” Payne said. “With the issue of sequestration hanging over the Department of Defense and this nation, with tightening budgets and the likelihood of a BRAC that could close or re-align installations, we want to be sure as many people as possible in Washington understand the military value and the cost-effectiveness of our three installations.”

Key points to be shared in D.C. include:

• The Tri-Command at Beaufort is a national asset with military facilities

capable of expansion to increase cost-efficiency, joint-basing and training opportunities, and military value;

• Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort will be the Corps’ only F-35B training center, enjoys protected air space and local zoning prevents land encroachment, and provides unparalleled training with an inland bombing range, ocean TACTs range both within the local flying area;

• Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island has the capacity to train more than double the number of recruits and provides multiple onsite rifle and pistol ranges, field training facilities and the Crucible training, all on an island protected from encroachment by marshes, creeks and Port Royal Sound;

• Naval Hospital Beaufort provides medical and dental care to MCAS Beaufort and 17,000 annual MCRD Parris Island recruits, plus estimated 8 percent of the local population who are DoD retirees and dependents.

Those training- and cost-efficiencies, and capacities to expand, are critically important because of increased federal budget pressures, including sequestration, Payne said.

As a result of the failure of the Super Committee to reach agreement on budget reduction measures, the Congress enacted a “sequestration” process to begin Jan. 1, 2013, which will cut approximately $600 billion from the Department of Defense

over the next 10 years — on top of the agreed-to Defense Department reduction of about $500 billion.

Worse still, the sequestration cuts are across-the-board, affecting every element of the military, said Col. Jack Snider, vice-chairman of the Military Enhancement Committee and a former F/A-18 pilot and commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

Residents can visit www.beaufortmec.com to find a complete list of S.C. Congressional emails, key points and sample letters regarding the potential defense cuts. The chamber, Beaufort County Council and others are urging grassroots opposition to sequestration.

Members of the MEC also were scheduled to meet with representatives of Lockheed-Martin, maker of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and of the Aerospace Industries Association.

“Our military installations are cost-effective and don’t face encroachment or development pressures,” said Blakely Williams, president of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. “They provide unique and valuable training to our military. That’s the message we need to be sure our leaders in Washington and Columbia understand.

“Every community with a military base receives economic benefits,” she said. “We are no different there — but we are different in that we can quantify the cost-efficiencies and training efficiencies at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and at Naval Hospital-Beaufort.

“Looking at the value, the opportunities to expand and the efficiencies, it makes sense for the military to be in Beaufort,” she said.

Xzavier Bryan, 12, of Sheldon, wants to be an architect when he grows up but for now, his “x” and “y” intercepts with math slopes are causing him difficulty.

At the Sheldon Club, each student practices their assignments for 1.5 hours a day. For Xzavier, these 50 hours of class work are just another part of his summer.

“It’s nice because I won’t lose all the memory as I go into the next school year,” Bryan said. “It’s like a class, just another learning experience. I don’t see this as a chore, just another summer activity.”

Debry Thompson, unit director at the Boys & Girls Club of Sheldon, said, “A lot of the members here are being raised by their grandparents or parents who aren’t educated. This virtual learning program helps our students and our region keep pace with others.”

“We are thankful for this partnership for several reasons,” Protz

said. “The most important one is our county’s students are getting the boost they need so they can move forward academically, in their own confidence and in their lives.”

In addition to the school district loaning 14 computers to the Boys & Girls Club of Sheldon, it also loaned 20 computers to the Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort. The district also provides part-time staff members to each club location to help administer and evaluate the program.

Five computers and large desk monitors seized by the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office will help young men learn and study for the GED at AMIkids Beaufort.

“This is a wonderful gift by our partner, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office,” said former AMIkids Beaufort Chairman Mike Ingram. “Putting this technology in front of our young men is one more way that we can help get them back on the right path to a brighter future.”

AMIkids is part of a national program that helps troubled youth through a variety of programs, including alternative education. The locally-managed program recently started a welding program

for its students in partnership with TCL, enabling young men who had non-violent run-ins with the law to leave with a GED and welding certifications.

Crews delivered the equipment Friday and students will be using the new computers this week, said James Rivers, executive director at AMIkids Beaufort, formerly known as Beaufort Marine Institute.

The five desktop computers were seized in September during a raid at HEST Sweepstakes in Bluffton. After their hard drives were wiped clean and new operating systems were installed, the sheriff ’s office delivered the computers Friday to the AMIkids facility in Dale.

By State Farm agentsSome motorists don’t respect bikers.

Some bikers don’t think the laws apply to them. But the truth is, both parties share the responsibility for reducing the risk of collision and injury on the road. These simple actions can help keep everyone safe.

Safety Steps for Drivers• If possible, slow down when driving

near cyclists and avoid honking your horn.

• Keep a safe distance between your car and a cyclist when passing. Try to increase the distance when you’re traveling at faster speeds.

• After passing a cyclist, make sure you can see him/her in your rearview mirror before you return to the right lane.

• When you’re parked on the street, check for cyclists before you open your car door.

• Yield to bikes as you would other vehicles.

• Scan bike lanes before making right turns.

• Avoid distractions (such as cell phones) that could keep you from noticing a cyclist.

Safety Steps for cyclists

• Wear a helmet.• Obey all traffic laws, signs and signals.• Ride with traffic in the farthest-right

lane.• Travel single-file when biking with

others.• Make eye contact with drivers so you

both know you’ve seen one another.• Use hand signals to notify drivers of

your intention to stop or turn.• Think visibility! Wear brightly

colored clothing and outfit your bike with the proper lights and reflectors.

• When possible, travel three feet away from parked vehicles.

• Practice extra caution around large trucks and buses, and be sure to avoid their blind spots. If you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you.

Driving and riding defensively is one of the most important steps drivers and cyclists can take to help ensure one another’s safety. Whether you’re navigating a bike or a car, always pay attention and be ready to deal with hazards.

By Will mcculloughI only buy cheap sunglasses. I mean

really cheap. We’re talking single digits. The reason I only purchase the most inexpensive shades possible is because I have a track record, which spans decades, of quickly breaking them. As a matter of fact, when I broke my last pair a few months ago, I swore I wouldn’t buy any more unless I could find a seemingly unbreakable pair for under $20.

The reason I share the above information with you is because, about three weeks ago, Deena and I were walking along the shores of the Beaufort sandbar together, and she found a pair of beat up old sunglasses buried in the surf. Broken and covered in scratches, they looked like they’d been bouncing along the bottom of the river for months. With the exception of our boat, the sandbar was completely empty and, had it not been for the friends we had with us, the sunglasses in question would have quickly found their way into our trash.

“Those are Costa Del Mar sunglasses!” our friend exclaimed. For the record, this meant nothing to me. The only time I honestly get excited about fashion is when Marvel Comics releases a new superhero T-shirt. However, the catch here was that, while I’d personally never heard of “Costa Del Whatever,” my friend had. And, not only had he

heard of these fancy high dollar shades, he knew that they came with a lifetime warranty for replacement against breakage. In a nutshell, he had detailed knowledge, based on personal interest and experience, about a topic that just might prove valuable to me.

In the world of real estate, we agents often find ourselves in a comparable situation. We’ll work with a buyer who has finally found the property of their dreams, made an offer, received a contract and then asked us the inevitable questions. What closing attorney should I use? What lender should I use? What inspectors should I use?

Unfortunately, despite the fact that we local agents work with a wide range of supporting entities and definitely have personal opinions on who is best equipped to help you, the truth of the matter is that recommending a specific lender, attorney or inspector would be a violation of our ethics standards. We simply are not permitted to recommend, or attempt to sway you, in the direction

of any secondary provider of real estate related services. In short, even though I know for a fact that the real estate lender, attorney or inspector equivalent of “Costa Del Mar” rocks, I can’t recommend them to you above the real estate equivalent of “Sunglasses-R-Us.”

What I can do, however, is give you a list of the general criteria I find important in selecting supporting entities for my own personal real estate transactions.

Within arms reach: For my personal transactions, I prefer to utilize an entity where I have a specific individual, with whom I have established a trusted personal relationship, as my point of contact. In short, I want to be able to walk into their office and speak to them face to face when I have a question or problem related to their facet of a transaction. While email may be a convenient form of communication, so is a “choke-slam.” I recommend keeping your ability and options to directly communicate open.

Experienced: I’m not just talking about overall years of experience as in the case of an entity that serves at a national level; I’m talking about someone who has served successfully in the hyper-local market as well. Do they know the Beaufort market like the back of their hand as it relates to their aspect of real estate transactions? Are they respected in the community? Do they have past local clients who would

recommend them? Don’t be afraid to ask.Reachable: This one is easy. Your

transaction is important to you. It should be equally important to those who guide you through a closing. If your initial calls or emails are not returned in a timely manner, you may want to shop around. The last few years have been tough on agents, lenders, attorneys and inspectors alike. Don’t settle for someone who does not display their appreciation for your business via timely responses.

Frankness: Despite misguided popular opinion otherwise, the customer is not always right. Sometimes they’re dead wrong and I personally want to utilize an attorney, lender or inspector who can, in a tactful manner, explain to me that my preconceptions are incorrect or unrealistic when that’s the case. A good supporting entity exists to serve your best interests in a transaction, even in the rare cases when their opinion of “your best interests” is hard to hear.

In closing, while your agent will likely give you a list of several lenders, attorneys and inspectors to choose from, it’s your responsibility to find the entity that fits your scenario the best.

And speaking of “fit,” as it turns out, Costa Del Mar sunglasses not only fit well, but coincidentally, only cost about $19 shipping and handling to be replaced/repaired by the factory!

By martha O’ReganHave you truly wrapped your

brain around the fact that we are electromagnetic beings? We are both electric (energy) and magnetic, yet we are humans, not robots or computers. Our left brain wants to know what it sees and see what it knows so we want to see ourselves as physical structures, we want to keep it simple because it’s what we know. While keeping it simple, let’s have a little fun with the electric aspect.

Think of yourself as a rechargeable battery that, provided you got a good nights’ sleep, is fully charged to begin each day. You have wires that come off of you that are either sending or receiving energy, depending on what you are plugged into.

Think about the people in your life who are “sucking the life out of you” as well as the ones who are “charging you up.” Tune into how you regularly react — is frustration often draining you dry or do

you get a boost from finding the good in most situations? What about the fuel you put into your body? Is your body using too much energy to digest large lunches or process multiple cups of coffee or are you nourishing it with healthy choices that are actually replenishing your resources?

Who are you choosing to listen to on a regular basis? Are they feeding your soul or just filling your head with nonsensical data? What about your thoughts — are they full of self-doubt, judgment or worry? Or, are they thoughts of joy and gratitude for even the little things in life?

So, what circuits are you choosing? Are any in “overload” or just plain “blown”? Do you hear yourself say, “I am so tired,” “I am totally drained” or “I just don’t have any energy”? If so, tune into what you are plugged into and decide to unplug from the non-essential circuits. Instead of allowing someone or something to pull energy from you, just visualize yourself pulling the plug and thinking, “Nope, I’m not going to plug

into that today.” Then, stay grounded (pun intended) — don’t plug it back in. Instead, take a breath and think about plugging into something that cranks up your spirit.

As electromagnetic beings, we are designed to recharge from the earth’s electromagnetic fields. Science now tells us that due to advancements of shoes, roads, cars, floors and second story bedrooms, we are not as “plugged in” to the earth as the countless generations before

us. We aren’t receiving the earth’s energy as those who walked the planet in bare feet or slept on the ground for thousands of years. Additionally, we as a society have been made to fear the sun and dirt, taking us further away from natural resources that our body thrives on.

We are now being encouraged to “earth,” to take our shoes off and walk in the grass, dirt, sand or surf for 15-30 minutes a day to recharge our battery. Who would have thought the word earth would become a verb? Through personal experience, I will say that it works. If you hear yourself say, “I am so tired” and it’s only 2 in the afternoon, take your shoes off and head outside. Walk or stand for as long your break will allow you — try for at least 10 minutes, then resume your day. You may just be surprised. I know I was.

We’ll cover the “magnetic you” in the next article. Until then, stay charged! Live Well ... Have Fun!

By mark Siegel, mD, FAAOAs an ophthalmologist, I literally treat

thousands of patients with glaucoma. Over the years, I’ve been asked by numerous patients if smoking marijuana can treat their glaucoma. After all, medical marijuana has been promoted as a treatment for many diseases. But does it really work?

To answer that question, first you need a little background. Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve becomes damaged over time, reducing peripheral vision. It sometimes leads to blindness. One cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma is higher-than-normal pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure or “IOP”).

Currently, the only way to control glaucoma and prevent vision loss is to lower your IOP levels. Your ophthalmologist can treat glaucoma with medication, such as prescription eye drops, laser or surgery, depending on the type of glaucoma and how severe it is.

The idea that marijuana can be helpful

in treating glaucoma dates to the 1970s. Studies conducted then showed that smoking marijuana lowered the IOP of people with glaucoma. As a result of this research, additional studies were conducted examining whether marijuana or its active ingredient, a compound known as THC, could be used to keep IOP lowered. This research was supported by the National Eye Institute, a division of the federal National Institutes of Health.

The research found that when marijuana is smoked or when a form of its active ingredient is taken as a pill or by injection, it does lower IOP. However, it only lowers IOP for a short period of

time — about three or four hours.This short period of time is a major

drawback for the use of marijuana as a glaucoma treatment. Because glaucoma needs to be treated 24 hours a day, you would need to smoke marijuana six to eight times a day around the clock to receive the benefit of a consistently lowered IOP. Because of marijuana’s mood-altering effect, smoking so much of it daily would leave you too impaired to drive, operate equipment or function at the peak of your mental ability.

The effect that marijuana has on your ability to function is not the only side effect from the drug, however. Marijuana cigarettes contain hundreds of compounds that damage the lungs. Research has shown that regular and frequent use of marijuana, particularly in high doses, can cause problems with short-term memory and concentration.

As scientists learn more about glaucoma, they have also come to understand that IOP is not the only factor that damages the optic nerve.

Recent studies characterize glaucoma as a neurologic disease similar to Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. And, there is increasing evidence that reduced flow of blood to the optic nerve may also cause damage in patients with glaucoma. Unfortunately, marijuana not only lowers IOP, but it lowers blood pressure throughout the body. As a result, it has the potential to lower the blood flow to the optic nerve, effectively canceling out the benefit of a lowered IOP.

Scientists are still exploring whether the active ingredients in marijuana may yet offer a glaucoma treatment. However, such developments require much more research and are many years from becoming a reality.

So, while marijuana can temporarily lower your IOP, it’s not recommended for treating glaucoma. Prescription medication and surgical treatments have been tested and proven as effective treatments for the condition. Speak with your ophthalmologist to find the option that is best for you

Synopsis: When technophile Sarah Sparks becomes pregnant, despite her boyfriend’s pure enthusiasm, her uncertainties about motherhood trigger an impulsive road trip to the source of her anxiety: her long-estranged mother living remotely, far away and off line. A committed tech-geek, she begins to fear that she is more interested in ultrasound technology than her baby. Is this normal? Where are her more normal emotional feelings and interests? Did technology chew them up? Is she better off without them?

New York Daily News: “ ‘Small, Beautifully Moving Parts’ is a tiny, sweet gem.” Film Journal International: “Highly agreeable, funny and bright study of a pregnant woman all at sea in a world where wireless options seem to outweigh human ones in her life.”

Previewer comments: As you can see from the ratings, this film is not going to appeal to everyone, but it does have merit as it questions today’s society reliance on technology, rather than actual face to face human interaction, unencumbered by techie stuff. I say hurray for the end of the iPhone searching while having dinner out with friends! The best thing about this film is that it raises the issue that today’s techie generation has a difficult time communicating one on one, and need to start talking and feeling emotionally face to face, without the interference of overly available technology interfaces that they can hide behind. Most times it is better to relate without devices.

Rated: Not rated, but likely can be considered to be PG 13.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Dennis Tavernetti is a resident of St. Helena Island and retired to the Lowcountry having a lifelong interest in the arts. He encouraged USCB’s Center for the Arts to investigate the possibility of utilizing new technology to bring Indie, World and Documentary HD films to Beaufort, which are normally only screened in major metropolitan cities.

The featured artist from August 5 through September 15 at the Beaufort Art Association is Carol Newsome. Carol first started painting in watercolor and that is her first love, but she has branched out to oil and acrylic. Some of each medium will be seen at her show.

Carol’s inspiration to paint comes from the beautiful surroundings of the Lowcountry.

“I can step outside and see live oaks with Spanish moss hanging from the branches, Palmetto trees, Dogwoods, marshes and rivers, not to mention the short drive to Hunting Island Beach or the Waterfront Park downtown. The Southern Magnolia is one of my favorite flowers to paint.”

Since she started painting 15 years ago, she always looks at nature and objects as a painting or determines how she can create a painting out of what she sees.

Carol takes her own photos of nature and sometimes combines parts of photos to make a painting. She also pays close attention to light and shadows and this attention to detail is portrayed in her work.

Carol grew up in a small town in Eastern Kentucky. After graduating from Wayland High School, she married and started a family. After having her first child, she moved to Charleston, and then her family grew to six. She lived in Charleston for 11 years. Her husband’s job then brought the family to Beaufort and Carol has lived here since 1975.

Carol got a job at Lipsitz department store in downtown Beaufort and worked there for seven years before

getting a job at Belk as supervisor in the men’s department where she worked for 17 years. When she retired she was free to paint. She spends lots of time in her art studio. She loves teaching her grandchildren to paint and draw.

Carol has taken many workshops during the past 15 years and has had many well-known instructors including Steve Quiller, Linda Baker and Betty Carr. She has learned different techniques from each of her instructors.

Carol also gets inspirations and motivations from her family and a group of her artist friends who meet once a week and paint together.

Carol is an award-winning artist and her work can be seen around town at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, Atmosphere, Beaufort Art Association Satellite Galleries, Beaufort OB-GYN and the Lowcountry Medical Group.

Lowcountry chorale looking for director

The Lowcountry Chorale is a non-profit, mixed-voice chorus that has provided a singular, popular brand of music to the greater Beaufort community for the past 15 years. Its twice-a-year concerts held at St. John’s Lutheran Church have drawn increasingly enthusiastic audiences.

The chorale’s long-time music director recently announced that he will soon leave the area. The chorale is urgently seeking an interim director as it heads into rehearsals for its upcoming fall/holiday performances. Experience in leading a choral group is preferred. For more information or expressions of interest in the position, please contact 812-8644.

Auditions being held for ‘Honky Tonk Angels’

USCB Center for the Arts and the Beaufort Theatre Company are seeking three female actors for the cast of “Honky Tonk Angels” (Dreamgirls? Dixie Chicks? or a little bit Nunsense?)

This rollicking country/pop musical comedy follows the hilarious escapades of a female singing group in Honky Tonk Heaven. Songs include “9-5,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Stand by Your Man,” “Harper Valley PTA” and “I Will Always Love You.”

The audition will be held on Tuesday, July 31 at 6 p.m., at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts.

Roles available are: Angela, a Texas housewife in her mid thirties. She has a great sense of humor and a fiercely independent streak. She identifies with Roseanne, “an earth-mother comedienne.” Darlene is a young woman from the deep South in her late twenties, early thirties. She is pretty, sweet and simple, a young woman who grew up in a coal-mining town in West Virginia and the Mississippi Delta. Sue Ellen, a Los Angeles career woman in her mid to late thirties. She is “citified” country girl, smart, very attractive, sexy and frustrated. She dances, roller skates, and twirls a baton if possible. The performance is scheduled for October 20 – 28.

Those auditioning should arrive promptly to fill out forms and provide a non-refundable photograph. The rest of the audition will consist of performing two prepared songs (bring your own back-up CD or sheet music in the key you wish to sing) and readings from the script. For more information, call the USCB CFA office 843-521-4145.

Film festival supports muslim women’s voices

As part of the upcoming “One County Reads One Country” project, the Beaufort County Library will host a short film festival titled “Women’s Voices From the Muslim World” at the USCB Center for the Arts on Sunday, August 12 at 2 p.m. Immediately following will be a panel discussion led by university scholars.

The films are part of an ambitious filmmaking project undertaken by the nonprofit organization, Women’s Voices Now (www.womensvoicesnow.org), to record the personal stories about women living in Muslim countries — their lives, hopes, struggles, and solutions. The organization is led by a team of professionals experienced in the fields of film, human rights, law, corporate management and the Near East.

This event is made possible through the receipt of a federal Library Services and Technology Act grant administered through the South Carolina State Library.

Program is free. For a full listing of One County Reads One Country events, go to www.beaufortcountylibrary.org/ocroc and click on directory of events.

Photography club of Beaufort has meeting

The Photography Club of Beaufort will have Bluffton photographer Marge Agin as its guest speaker for its August meeting. Marge’s program is “Out Of The Box In Photoshop.” She will show how to enhance average or even exceptional photos using Photoshop techniques. Marge will begin with a slide show that compares before and after images using the computer and Photoshop and talk about the equipment she uses and her workflow patterns.

Marge Agin’s work is an art form that encompasses the use of digital camera equipment and computer capabilities. Her finished work combines talent, imagination and unique techniques that she will share with the audience.

Her professional career began in Southern California where she worked as an event photographer, photographic illustrator and portrait photographer, specializing in outdoor photography.

Today, Marge works exclusively in fine arts photography and her travels have taken her around the world. Presently residing in Palmetto Bluff, her images revolve around the scenery of the Lowcountry.

Marge is the author of the new book “Bluffton, Changing Tides” which will be offered for sale prior and after the meeting. This book is both historical and eccentric, “full of character and characters”, admits Marge. In it she captures the essence of life along the May River and the magic of what makes Bluffton a special place to live and visit. She also has published a book on Palmetto Bluff.

The meeting is August 13 at 7 p.m. in ARTworks in the Jean Ribaut Square on Boundary Street in Beaufort. The pubic is invited to attend. For more information, visit www.photoclubbeaufort.com.

Water Festival Parade Party 2012By Lanier Laney

Good spirits were all around as three generations of friends and their families, plus many former esteemed commodores, joined Erin Dean, Jim Grimsley, and ned Tupper for their fun annual Water Festival Parade Party at their office on the corner of Bay and Carteret streets last weekend. It’s neat how an event like Water Festival has turned into the “yearly reunion time” for so many local families. There was much oohing and aahing at all the new babies, and a great time was had by all! Here are some photos for you. Recognize anybody?

Sunday Blessing of the Fleet

Saturday’s Grand Parade

The Commodore, on board with the Pirettes, prepares to drop the remembrance bouquet into the Beaufort River.

The remembrance bouquet drifts past Beaufort’s new dragonboat, Braveheart, the lead boat in the Blessing of the Fleet parade.

The closing ceremony of the Beaufort Water Festival included the traditional Blessing of the Fleet parade and a Non-Profit Expo. Photos by Bernie Moscovitz and Clare Taylor.

The DragonBoat Beaufort Tent Team on hearing their boat won the Judge’s Award for Best Boat in the Water Festival’s Blessing of the Fleet. From left: Erica Dickerson, Monica Codman-Nicholls, Clare Taylor, Mayor Billy Keyserling, Bonnie Breitenbecher and Lee Burkett.

After leading the parade of vessels for the Blessing of the Fleet at last Sunday’s Water Festival finale, DragonBoat Beaufort’s Braveheart got some good news. Mayor Billy Keyserling came over to the Expo booth to announce that DBB was the winner of the Judge’s Choice Award and that the group would be receiving a donation of $100 from Water Festival. What a great accomplishment.

DragonBoat Beaufort would like to thank: Everyone on the team, including the paddlers; John, who steered the boat beautifully through her paces; coaches Greg and Kyle; the Tent Team; Ro and Ray for the last minute scramble to get your tent; to Bonnie B. who engages strangers as if they were lifelong friends; to Erica for preparing taste treats with her wonderful Dragon Breath Chow Chow; to Lee and Jesse for being there the whole day and helping us sell our wares; to Monica for her constant help and recruitment efforts; and to Richard Darby, Bernie Moscovitz and Clare Taylor for capturing it all on camera.

57th water festival

By Pamela BrownsteinOn a steamy summer evening, the

Lunch Bunch waited with other happy and hungry Beaufortonians on a line that wrapped around Bay Street for a chance to sample the always awesome Frogmore Stew served last Thursday at Water Festival’s Lowcountry Supper.

Members of the Rotary Club and other volunteers had prepared approximately 1,400 pounds of local shrimp, 1,100 pounds of sausage, 3,500 ears of corn on the cob and 350 gallons of iced tea. There was also plenty of cole slaw, rolls with butter and refreshing slices of watermelon. We all agreed that the food was excellent, maybe even better than last year.

It’s also a family friendly event, so it was great time to introduce 6-month-old Wolfe to his first taste of Water Festival. Crowds gathered and ate in Waterfront Park and enjoyed live music from the Broke Locals and Too Much Sylvia. We were also treated to a performance by The Whistlers — past commodores donning fun costumes and dancing on stage.

So much hard work and preparation goes into making and serving this meal, we appreciate the efforts of all those involved for a yummy success.

By Terry SweeneyWell, Water Fest is over and out and

so this week Beaufort slept peacefully by night and quietly tip-toed about its business by day. The tsunami of beer and wine and vodka and bourbon that washed over our little island left surprisingly little damage in its wake. At least no one I know was detained by local authorities and asked to model an unflattering orange jumpsuit that —

let’s face it — clashes horribly with eyes that are bloodshot red.

The visiting boats that filled our river have magically melted away into the mist and floated off to other liquid celebrations in other

coastal towns; leaving folks with a handful of trinkets and souvenir T-shirts but more importantly with a boatload of memories. Unless, of course, they can’t remember a thing!

Like the introspective week that follows New Years Eve, we locals usually take stock of ourselves and often brim over with resolutions about next year’s Water Festival. Here are a few that I overheard while walking around town in the sober light of day following last

week’s festival.1. “Next year I’m keeping my top on!”

(This woman had white hair and granny glasses — I’m not kidding!)

2. “I’m not giving him a ride home from Water Fest ever again! I don’t mind hosing throw-up off a boat, but in my glove compartment? Really?! I mean now if I get pulled over, how am I supposed to hand a cop a registration and insurance card that both reek of beer?!”

3. “Next year, I’m leaving town before Water Festival even starts. At least that’s what Judge Tupper told me I’m doing.”

4. ”How did my wife end up with a sunburn there of all places?! No sandbar with the girls for her next year! “

5. ”Next year, I’m not gonna mix my booze. Just alcohol, no food. It’s eaten’ that makes you sick!”

6. “I’m not ‘Magic Mike’ dancing on the sandbar next year! I came to with only two lousy dollars stuffed down my shorts. I must suck!”

7. “I lost my house keys, my phone, my sandals and a cooler full of beer. Next year I’m just gonna have to keep an eye on my cooler. That’s all there is to it!”

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

Midwestern born Matthew Pieper moved to San Francisco when he was 6 years old when his dad got

a job working for the Grateful Dead. (And yes, Matthew was lucky enough to attend more than 250 Dead concerts for free while growing up).

In San Francisco, from an early age he also got to experience a world of different cuisines, from Indian to Chinese to Italian and more. Amazingly, his first job in the hospitality industry came his way when he was just 10 years old.

Says Matthew, “I used to help the valets open the passenger doors at a restaurant in San Francisco named Basta Pasta. I had this little white sports coat I used to wear. I would open the ladies’ doors for them and, delighted, they would tip me. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. My mom would freak out when I would come home at 10 years old with a $100 bucks in my pocket for helping out for three hours.”

After high school and jobs here and there, in the spring of 2002, Matthew decided to visit his sister Jennifer who had moved to the little town of Beaufort, South Carolina.

“I instantly fell in love with this charming coastal town and knew I was going to stick around here for quite some time,” he said.

He got his first job downtown at Ollie’s restaurant. After that, he got a job as Bar Manager at The Beaufort Inn.

Says Matthew, “The Beaufort Inn is where I found my passion for the hospitality business and a love for fine food and wine. Not only did The Beaufort Inn spark something inside of me, but it is where I met my best friend and now wife, Anya Chase (who was the Front Desk Manager)”.

Matthew and Anya found they both shared a great love of food, wine and people.

In 2005, they decided to take a trip across America in an R.V. to explore the different food cultures and people and get hospitality jobs along the way. Their travels took them through 37 states and 12 national parks.

Working in Napa Valley, California, and Boulder, Colorado, were two particularly formative experiences for them.

Matthew said, “In Napa I worked at Auberge du Soleil then for Philippe Jeanty working at two of his restaurants — PJ’s Steakhouse and Bistro Jeanty. Anya worked at Dean & Deluca in the Cheese and Charcuterie Department. I also worked part time at Hurley’s Restaurant for Bob Hurley. In Boulder, Colorado, I worked at Q’s Restaurant in the Historic Boulderado Hotel, and Anya was the front desk manager of the St. Julien Hotel.”

They learned a lot on their journey about the different regions of our country and how the differing local food and wine can be a particular reflection of that area.

In 2009 they decided to move back to Beaufort to be closer to Anya’s parents, Gerry and Suzan Chase, whom Matthew describes as “the most amazing in-laws a

man could ever have.”Anya began working as the manager of

the Rhett House Inn and Matthew became a popular waiter at the new Breakwater Restaurant. After that he became manager of the restaurant at the Tooting Egret Bistro.

He will now be the new bar manager for the soon to open Old Bull Tavern at 205 West Street, in the old Breakwater space between Emily’s and Plums. Chef John Marshall from Charleston is the owner of the new gastropub.

Says Matthew, “I am really excited about this new adventure. I love being behind the bar and the energy that encompasses it. It is a controlled chaos that the faint of heart need not apply. Multitasking while still holding a conversation are some of the challenges. But watching smiling faces enjoying great food, wine and cocktails make it totally worth while. The relationships you form with patrons and getting to know so many different people make it one of the most amazing jobs. Beaufort is definitely in for a treat.”

Matthew and Anya live on Battery Creek and enjoy cooking at home with friends and family, kayaking the scenic waterways around Beaufort and just hanging out on the dock enjoying the majestic sunsets that Beaufort has to offer.

Says Matthew about his chosen career, “What I love about the hospitality industry is creating those magical moments. Whether it is a special occasion or just a night on the town, it is about connecting with your patrons and making each and every person feel special and their leaving feeling that way. It is about creating memories that people can share for a lifetime.”

You can visit Matthew at the bar of The Old Bull Tavern when it opens in mid-August, Tuesday through Saturday.

By Jack SparacinoWell, there’s nothing like a summer

break to get your perspective back and reach a few more conclusions about the vital issues in life. Here are a few that dawned on me recently.

1. Sure, it gets cold down here sometimes but obviously it’s more likely to be quite warm or at least comfortable. When I see older people walking around wearing a nice looking coat when it’s 80 degrees, I can only conclude they’re not just trying to be fashionable. Maybe for every year past 60 the air feels a half a degree or so cooler than it really is.

2. We may be overlooking the inherent beauty of harp music as the music and advertising people keep us focused on rock and roll. Harpo Marx (1888-1964) was well known for his expert, even concert level performances. In Marx Brothers movies, of course, they were a signature part of his act. Even in an otherwise fairly forgettable film they made late in their careers in 1946, “Night in Casablanca,” Harpo played a lovely solo toward the end of the film that still endears him to us some 65 years later.

3. Apparently almost anything can be used as a weapon. This is made

abundantly clear in Lee Child’s amazing Jack Reacher mystery series as Reacher manages to pound the bad guys to a pulp using everything from his fists to pool cues. In one book, he manages to overcome 6 to 1 odds in a bar by hurling bar stools at the evil doers.

4. Bagels may be just about the most perfect anytime food. They’re just plain good to great 24 hours a day. With eggs in the morning, made into a sandwich for lunch or dinner, maybe a late night snack. Seems like you can put almost anything on them and they practically smile back at you.

5. Is somebody getting to the bottom of all those bogus warning lights in cars? You know, like the “check engine” light which seems to often signify nothing. And what about my car’s persistent warning that I’ve lost a headlight when there’s not a thing wrong with them? Maybe there should just be a little “F.A.” (False Alarm) light that goes on to let you know for sure that there’s nothing

going on.6. Speaking of cars, lots of people love

the smell of a new car, maybe mostly because they like the idea of having a new car and anything associated with it just takes on the positive aura. This may account for my having developed a liking for the smell of new sneakers right out of the box. Or a new bike. Maybe it’s a transportation thing.

7. I’m almost ready to start believing in voodoo. How else to explain why so many of us walk confidently to a room for something but by the time we get there we can’t remember what it was. Then as soon as you leave to go back to where you came from, that escaped thought comes right back at you. Out of nowhere, it seems, since there’s seldom someone right there giving you hints. Or how about when you start to blow your lawn or driveway and right away the wind changes direction and blows everything right back at you? What’s that all about?

8. A bow tie is one of those garments that is so geeky looking it’s almost cool, at least on men. On women, they can look great, even without a sequined top hat.

9. Calling something “Mickey Mouse” to signify that it’s trivial or worthless does a great disservice to all the great things Walt’s little mouse has accomplished over the past 75 years and his happy personality. I say we turn “Mickey Mouse” into a compliment at our earliest convenience.

10. Among a dog’s many talents is the apparent ability to tell when people are sick. A growing body of credible research seems to demonstrate that dogs can sniff out various cancers and even Type 1 diabetes. Their amazing sense of smell and the ability to detect odors in the low parts-per-billion range once again point to dogs’ incredible ability to enrich people’s lives.

OK, that’s my list, time to go back outside. Could look for a good used harp or a bagel. Do I need a coat? Maybe just a fright wig and a horn.

80 degrees and you’re wearing a coat?

Week after week my eyes stare at a blank canvas with certain defeat. I organize closets, polish silverware, scrub door knobs and practice perfecting my less-than-stellar plank pose with the humble hopes of catching the fleeting thought or idea that will engage, inspire and perhaps entertain.

This week I have been given the gift of life meaning that I have lived some of the most human, most ordinarily outstanding, most awkwardly awful, and miraculously mundane moments one can experience, leaving me with a wealth of words worthy of writing. I attended Beaufort Water Festival.

The challenge presented in this gift of ordinary proportions is the simple quandary of what to write and what to preserve for future ration. Certainly there will be weeks where monotony prevails, leaving me lost with blank screen scrutiny and simply nothing to note. Quite possibly the past week was a luxury of lunacy that should be respected and reserved. Then again, Water Festival does come around each year, bringing with it a windstorm of wonder and endless material primed for printed banter.

Impossible to choose just one occurrence, one topic, or one moment to share, I shall briefly list the three most colorful — carefully changing the names to protect the not so innocent, the incredibly inappropriate, and the

beautifully Beaufort moments that only those with the salt-stained address can understand.

1. my most Unusual Day as Queen: Spending the majority of my life envying the fabulously female type all the while playing in the mud and trading tiaras for tool boxes, being named Queen of anything was quite shocking. It seems as though the title brings with it no obligation, no explanation and to my genuine mounting despair, no free fried chicken. However, with my rivaled royalty I did gain substantial awkward encounters and a free lifetime supply of jokes. No doubt there is honor being bowed down to in the frozen foods section of Publix. Having strangers

salute you while searching for toilet paper is obviously a thing of beauty. I am River Queen and I shall embrace it; however, I may need to find a new venue for shopping.

2. There Is no comfortable Sandbar Greeting: Working in real estate and specifically the construction and development arena, my days are spent mostly in the company of men. Most of the time, I am for all practical purposes, one of the guys. They know me as the clumsy but capable girl in boots and our relationship, although odd, works for the most part in peaceful unison. Then, I see them on the sandbar. There is just no appropriate greeting for coworkers wearing bikinis or even worse, a Speedo. The handshake seems a bit formal and the jovial hug is just too much darn information. Professionalism has no power against the slippery sun-screened, wind-blown Bud light beholder. Bikinis do not come with pockets, nor do they come with co-worker cover ups in case of emergency. It just doesn’t matter who you are, once you are standing half dressed with your coworker, life changes.

3. The “It Wasn’t me, But I need You to come Get me Real Quick” call from

a friend while being escorted by the dedicated men and women of DnR. Just when you think it is safe to bid the dramatic day farewell, melt comfortably into your bed with hopes of peaceful slumber, the familiar ringtone pierces the silence like a machete. Ignoring the urgent call isn’t a possibility. It is a duty, an obligation, an unspoken agreement among friends — if you are conscious and you receive the Come Get Me Call, it is time to act. The captured party awaits your arrival and your arrival proves to be a welcomed sign to both captive and capturer. This topic alone can fill pages on end.

As much as I would enjoy elaborating on each event, there simply isn’t enough room. Possibly there will be a book one day that will give credit to the momentous moments, the awfully awkward and the incredibly odd days that are abundant and readily available to all in our small tenacious town. Until then, the Queen shall take her sunscreen streaked skin, her gallon of necessary water and her memories of yet another Beaufort South Carolina Water Festival to bed. Sweet dreams and silent cell phones, even if for just one night.

Back-to-School Expos hope to attract familiesThe Beaufort County School District

is teaming up with Hargray and other corporate sponsors to hold a pair of “Back-to-School Expos” designed to give students and their families a day of fun, food, door prizes and valuable information about the upcoming school year.

The annual expos are scheduled for the next two Saturdays — at Whale Branch Early College High School on July 28 and at Bluffton High School on August 4. Both events will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and free transportation will be provided from several centralized locations.

Students and their families are encouraged to attend the events, which will feature:

• Forums for teens that focus on this year’s anti-bullying theme: “Respect and Responsibility — Building a Safe and Caring Community.”

• Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.

• Door prizes that will include iPads and Kindle Fires donated by Hargray.

• Free school supplies for students, courtesy of Walmart.

• Free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings provided by Doctor’s Express.

• Ronald McDonald Mobile Care will provide information on dental hygiene.

• Performances by WTOC-TV celebrity “Magic Marc.”

• Special sessions designed to energize and inspire students and families as they begin the new school year. These sessions will be conducted by Leading to Change, a Charlotte professional development and training company with corporate clients across the Southeast.

“Students and their families will find a wealth of useful information at this year’s expos,” said Superintendent Valerie Truesdale. “Our corporate, civic and faith-based partners have contributed their time and resources, and they have really worked with the district to help make sure that the events are a big success.”

“This is Hargray’s third year partnering with the Beaufort County School District

on the Back-to-School Expo,” said Eddie Andrews, Director of Marketing for Hargray. “Having the opportunity to show our support to students and families from throughout the community makes this a truly rewarding experience for us each year.”

For families needing transportation to the July 28 expo at Whale Branch Early College High School, school buses will make pickups at St. Helena Elementary School (8 a.m.), Lady’s Island Intermediate and Middle School (8:20 a.m.) and Beaufort Elementary School (8:40 a.m.).

For more information on the two expos, contact Lakinsha Petty (322-5451) at the Beaufort County School District.

Truesdalecontinued from page 1

“I am immensely proud of our schools’ progress in Beaufort County,” she said. “We have excellent teachers, staff and school and district leaders with the skills and commitment needed to ensure that every learner reads on grade level, meets

state standards and is well prepared for college, career or the military.”

She also said that recently approved changes in South Carolina’s state’s retirement system would make it financially advantageous for her to retire.

The Beaufort County Board of Education has not yet met to discuss plans to replace Truesdale.

Truesdale marks her 30th year as an educator, including serving as a high

school teacher, an assistant principal, a high school principal, a senior executive at the South Carolina Department of Education, a district chief instructional officer and as district superintendent in Oconee and Beaufort counties. She was named South Carolina’s Superintendent of the Year in 2009 and the American Association of School Administrators’ first Women in School Leadership award recipient in 2010. Earlier this

summer, she received the William B. Harley Lifetime Achievement Award from the South Carolina Association of School Administrators.

Dr. Truesdale was selected as Beaufort County’s district superintendent in 2007, and although student poverty rates increased and budgets have been reduced during the past five years, student achievement has improved on numerous state and federal measures.

Help Defend America!If Congress goes through with “sequestration,” America’s military will be gutted - including Beaufort County’s three military installations that provide 8,700 jobs and $1.2 billion annually for our economy!

Write South Carolina’s members of Congress NOW and tell them to solve the federal budget issues without these sequestration poison pill.

Key points to include in your letter, email or phone call:

• Sequestration would force $600 billion in across-the-board cuts to the military

• The House Armed Services Committee predicts that sequestration would lead to the smallest U.S. ground forces since 1940, the fewest ships since 1915 and the smallest tactical fighter force ever

• Experts predict that 1 million private sector jobs would be lost in sequestration, plus 350,000 active duty military and Defense Department civilian jobs

• Sequestration was designed as the worst-case scenario to force the Super Committee to make though choices - but here we are in the worst case...

We understand the call for austerity, but not at the expense of our national defense. Contact South Carolina’s Congressional delegation and voice your support for America’s military and strike against sequestration.

Key points, sample letters and Congressional contacts are available at www.BeaufortMEC.com or call 843-525-8500.

University of South Carolina Beaufort women’s soccer coach Ed Heberling has added former Garnder Webb University standout and Armstrong Atlantic State assistant coach Hilary George to his coaching staff for the upcoming season.

George comes to the Sand Sharks after six seasons as an assistant at Armstrong Atlantic. The Pirates went 91-25-13 during her tenure and reached the NCAA Division II Final Four in 2011. During her playing career, George was a first-team All-America selection by the National Christian College Athletic Association as a goalkeeper at Gardner-Webb, where she still ranks second in school history in shutouts in a season (7.5) and career (14.5).

“I am excited to have a coach with Hilary’s experience, knowledge and background join our program,” Heberling said. “Hilary will play a vital role in training our goalkeepers and solidifying our defense this season.”

Heberling is also excited about impact George will have on the Sand Sharks’ strength, conditioning and fitness programs. She is a certified strength and c o n d i t i o n i n g s p e c i a l i s t

through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has experience as a personal trainer.

“It’s not often that you find a coach of her caliber, and I’m excited for coach George to help build USCB soccer into the same caliber of program that our athletics department has come to expect,” Heberling said.

The Sand Sharks begin their second season of competition in the NAIA and Sun Conference with a scrimmage at Coker College on Aug. 18 and return home to begin the season against Brenau (Ga.) at 5 p.m. on Aug. 24.

By Flannery WoodwardWhen I think of the summers of my

childhood, they tend to run together into one long, hot, humid Beaufort day. They are like something out of a novel that less fortunate souls who did not grow up in Beaufort could only dream of, and that they might mistake as pure fiction.

Something about the summer of 1999 brings it forward in my memory, but not because of any specific instance, rather a general feeling of independence and maturing that I could not associate with any other summer. It was the summer before my eighth grade year, and I knew that I was going back to rule Lady’s Island Middle School. But before it could come to a close, I planned to milk every single ounce of sunlight out of every last afternoon and steal a few hours each evening, too.

Each day began in a similar fashion. Rather than sleeping in, our mom had us up and going at about 8 or 9 a.m. She is a firm believer that sleeping in is a waste of a vacation. My sister, Westly, was still too young to come enjoy most of the activities that my brother, Ellison, and I had on the agenda for the day, but I would rush upstairs and scarf down a bowl of cereal with the two of them. Then Ellison and I would call the neighbors across the street, Sarah and

Becca. We alternated days during the week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we swam for several hours off of their dock, which had a small sandbar right across the way. Tuesdays and Thursdays we took kayaks and canoes out from our dock and explored new streams or creeks through the marshes. We packed lunches so that we could stay gone all morning through the early part of the afternoon, then, exhausted and sunburned from a day out on the salt marsh, we would pull ourselves back home and shower. Usually, Mom would have to come rub aloe on one of us while fussing that we

needed to reapply sunscreen more often out there.

After a quick snack, the girls would come back over to our house to play a board game on the screen porch. Some days we would go toss the cast net and pull in a few shrimp. I could usually talk Mom into letting me test my culinary skills on them, while the rest of the bunch picked out a movie for us to watch with dinner. Even my test recipes tasted great after a day in the sun!

During the weekends, Dad let me take the boat out by myself for the first time that summer. He wouldn’t let me go too far or for too long, but with a few friends and a cooler of sodas, carrots, watermelon, and cold fried chicken or Publix subs onboard, we could drive around near the Yacht Club dock. Some girls would tan across the bow of the boat, while others laughed and took pictures. If we wanted to tube, Dad would have to come out and drive while we spotted our friends back there bouncing through the waves. Sometimes we could talk a parent into dropping us off at the Downtown Marina to get a smoothie from Common Ground or an ice cream from Plums. Those weekends we also tried to meet up at Fuji’s or The Upper Crust for dinner before walking across the street to the Lady’s Island Cinema to catch the new summer blockbusters.

But since this was also a summer of

maturing and new responsibility, some nights I had to decline the invite so that I could make some babysitting money. Of course, my parents got first dibs on me as a babysitter, but there were a few other families that I helped out, too. Some of my favorite families let me bring my sister with me so that she could play with the kids. I also tried to earn a few extra dollars around the house doing odd jobs for my parents. I knew that I would have to have my own money for the movie and dinner.

By the time the summer had come to a close, my skin was bronze, my dark brown hair had blonde streaks, and my muscles were lean and toned from a summer spent on the water. I never needed to go anywhere else during the summer, never needed a wild vacation to an exotic destination. I had that in my own backyard. In fact, as a college student I often invited friends back to my hometown to enjoy the Beaufort River, Water Festival, Fripp Island excursions and many of the other pleasures of the Lowcountry. I can also say that those friends were NEVER disappointed by their trip, no matter how long or how short.

Beaufort gave me many wonderful and treasured memories, but those of the summers spent with friends and family are the most beautiful.

Pictured from left is Charlene Shufelt (Regent), Nancy Crowther

Well, this week’s wine has one of the very best wine stories ever. And, thank goodness, the story should help us remember the name. It will. It will.

We’re off to Italy, the west coast, midway between the top and the bottom, or to be more graphic, the front of the knee of the Italian boot. Here is where we find the region known as Latium or Lazio. Both of these names refer to the origins of Italian everything from this region. Latium is from the word “Latin,” and it is in this region that the city of Rome is located. Originally, Latium was just a small triangle of fertile, volcanic soil where a tribe of Latins lived. The original Latium was located on the bank, east and south, of the Tiber River. As the city of Rome expanded, mostly through conquests of its neighbors, Latium became larger until it was almost twice as big. The ancient language of Latium become Latin which in turn evolved into Italian.

Our wine is a white and is, legally, a blend of three grapes. The main one, which must be at least 65% of the blend, is Trebbiano. We have looked at this variety before. It is the second most widely planted grape in the world. In Italy, Trebbiano accounts for at least part of about one third of all their white wines. The history of Trebbiano goes back to Roman times, and, even then, its high acidity made it a desirable part of their wines.

The second grape in our wine is Malvasia. This is a white variety that originated probably in Greece and thrives around the Mediterranean. There are several versions of this grape, not quite clones really, and that makes its history a bit difficult. Some say the name Malvasia is derived from Monemvasia, a Venetian fortress on the coast of Laconia, known in Italian as Malvasia. The Italians did so much trading in and out of this port that wine shops in Venice were called “malvasie.” A competing story says the name came from the district of Malevizi, near the city of Heraklion (Hercules’ hometown?). In any case, most of the versions of this grape are related to

Malvasia Bianca. Throughout Italy, Malvaisa is blended with Trebbiano to add flavor and texture to the wines. For our wine, this week, Malvasia is 20% of the blend.

The third variety in our wine is allowed to be no more than 20% of the blend. This is a grape that you may never hear mentioned again — Roscetto. It is an ancient variety that really is very rare. Roscetto is a low yield grape, not very many in a bunch and not many bunches on a vine, and so unknown except in the Latium region, that it’s hard to find information on it. Reportedly, it has high sugar and high acid levels.

But, enough of the grapes. On to our wine and its story! Officially, our wine’s name is Est! Est!! Est!!! Di montefiascone. The shortened version is just Est! Est!! Est!!! (Easy to say but a real pain to type!) Montefiascone is a sub-region centered around the commune of the same name in the province of Viterbo in Latium. There are about 1,000 acres of vines that are used to make this wine. Italian DOC wine status was given to this wine in 1966, and it is this DOC law that dictates the blend. (Not all DOC Est! Est!! Est!! wines include Roscetto in their blend, but ours does.) The finished wine must have a minimum alcohol level of 11%.

The story, finally, behind the name of Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone has been around for centuries. Unfortunately, it has been changed and adjusted and modified many times, and I suppose at this point we have to assume it’s not all true. The basic story goes that

a Catholic bishop was traveling to Rome. Some versions say it was a German bishop going to see the Pope, some say it was a Flemish bishop going for the coronation of Henry V as Holy Roman Emperor. But, as he travelled, the bishop sent a servant on the road ahead of him to check out the wines at roadside inns he was going to pass. If the wine was good enough, the servant was told to write “Est” (Latin for “It is.”) on the inn’s wall, door or fence. That way the Bishop, who liked his wine, would know where he could have a pleasant dinner each night. Legend has it that the servant thought the wine in Montefiascone was so good that he wrote Est! Est!! Est!! on the door of the inn there. One version of the story even has the bishop not traveling any further than Montefiascone, never completing his trip because he liked the local wine so much and spent the rest of his life in that town.

As much fun as the name of this wine is, it has always been hard to find. A thousand acres is not that much land to make all that much wine. But, lucky us, one is available for us this summer. It’s made by Falesco, a winery founded in 1979 by two brothers, Riccardo and Renzo Cotarella. Their goal was to focus on and promote the uniqueness and tradition of native varieties and their versatility with international varieties. Located near Orvieto in the region off Umbria, they’re just across the border from Latium. They do, though, maintain a cellar in Latium for the production of their Est! Est!! Est!!!

This wine is straw colored with fresh acidity and good structure. Its nose has hints of flowers and fruits, all light and subtle and delicate. It is a great summer wine for easy sipping and light meals. My personal suspicion is that the bishop must have been traveling in hot weather, or at least his servant was hot on the day he got to Montefiascone. And that is my donation to the Est! Est!! Est!!! story. This wine is truly lovely in warm weather! Really, it is! And what fun to sip some and think up your own pieces and parts to the legend. Enjoy.

#4: Lets hear it for HawthornWhen Sherman came to live with

me, he was already a very old shambling wreck of an Old Yeller dog. Just to look at him was to know he wasn’t going to finish out the year. I set about to make his last days more comfortable. Of the many items added to Sherman’s food bowl every day — coconut oil, cinnamon, turmeric, Omega 3s, and milk thistle — there’s one I couldn’t leave out: hawthorn.

Hawthorn (Crataegus species), is a tonic herb that has been used for centuries to improve cardiac function and output. Hawthorn does not initiate any immediate changes in heart function, but does so very gently over time, without adding stress or interfering with other body functions. Hawthorn helps support the heart and cardiovascular system in ways that no food or drug can.

Hundreds of scientific studies have validated hawthorn’s usefulness as a heart tonic well known for dilating both coronary vessels and vessels of the brain and helping to increase circulation and the transport of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. It does this in a

very clever fashion: while it acts to dilate major vessels, it also increases blood flow from the heart to compensate for any reduction of arterial blood volume. In other words, it helps the body push more blood around by increasing cardiac output and decreasing blood flow resistance in the arteries, i.e., more blood flow at less pressure. This has been shown in studies performed with dogs, especially when used in small doses over an extended period.

Hawthorn also serves as a blood pressure regulator. Although the mechanisms of this activity baffle herbalists and scientists alike, the herb tends to gently elevate low blood pressure, and decrease high blood

pressure. A neat trick, especially when we consider the fact that hawthorn does this while increasing cardiac output. By helping with dilation of coronary arteries and strengthening heartbeat, hawthorn improves blood circulation without adversely effecting blood pressure.

Another well-documented benefit of hawthorn is its ability to steady and strengthen a weak or erratic heartbeat — such as that of elderly or energetically challenged dogs. In human applications hawthorn has been used as an alternative to anti-arrhythmia drugs like digitalis, and to improve the effects of that and other cardiac drugs. For my dog friends I recommend hawthorn in virtually any case where damage to the heart

muscle has resulted from heartworm infestation, bacterial or viral infections, or protracted chemotherapy.

You may lucky enough to have a hawthorn tree near your home and luckier, too, to have a dog that likes red fruit, so you can pick the ripe berries and feed them as “tonic treats.” If you’re not sure what your red berry tree is, be sure to check it out with a gardener friend or the Clemson extension.

When the berries become fully ripe and bright red, they can be picked, dried on a clean sheet of paper, and ground with a mortar or pestle (be forewarned that they kill small coffee grinders!) into a coarse powder. The powder can then be added to your Best Friend’s diet at a rate of one teaspoon per pound of food fed each day. You can also make a tea with about one teaspoon of dried berries and a cup of hot water and pour it over his food.

When combined with a good natural diet and other tonic herbs, hawthorn will act exactly as an herbal heart tonic should — to fill the special cardiac needs in the golden years of an animal’s life.
