t’s crazy how time flies and things progress. I remember so vividly working on the first issue of Beaufort Lifestyle and how excited I was to see our inaugural issue. I will also never forget the night of our launch party out at Habersham, and the faces in the crowd as we unveiled that first cover. What a night....and what a beginning.

Now, as we present our nine year anniversary issue, so much has changed, yet, there are still some things that are the same.

The look of Beaufort Lifestyle is a bit different than in our beginning. We have changed the design and added some new features along the way. We have changed from a bi-monthly Julie Hales, PUBLISHER publication to a monthly. We have grown in the community and have become huge supporters of several worthy non-profits. We have developed some pretty amazing business relationships in the community, and we have gained many trusted friends along this journey.

And, then there is that one major thing that will never change. Beaufort Lifestyle is your community magazine...only featuring people, places and events in Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands. We will always remain true to Beaufort.

In my eyes, I would say we’re on the right track. We are proud of what we do.

But, we also know that, as with anything, there is always room for improvement... more ways to make Beaufort Lifestyle even better than it is.

And, as we dive into our tenth year, you will begin to see just how we plan to make those improvements and strides throughout the year...and the exciting results you will see for our advertisers, our readers and our community.

So, put on your seat belt, it’s gonna be a wild ride. And, next year, as we celebrate our 10 years in style...Beaufort style....there will be more exciting things to share. Join us on this journey!

Jonathan Haupt First Executive Director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center

story by Carol Lauvry photos by Paul Nurnberg

J

onathan Haupt was named the first Executive Director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center on October 22, 2016, during the first annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival. Jane Upshaw, Chair of the Center’s board of directors announced his appointment that evening saying, “In our discussions of what the Center needed, we wanted someone with experience in literary arts leadership—a person who was creative and innovative with programming, marketing and communication. We needed a builder who dreamed big but could translate those dreams into reality.

We hoped to find someone who knew Pat personally and understood the magnitude of the opportunity of the Center. It was a daunting task, but I am very happy to share with you this evening that we found just the right person with all of those qualities and so much more in Jonathan Haupt.”

Jonathan gave thanks to the Conroy Center’s board of directors and the Conroy family for entrusting him with that responsibility saying, “The Center is striving to fill in that enormous Conroyshaped hole in all of our lives and hearts.

To play my part in that effort, in honor of my friend and my mentor, is more that an opportunity—it’s a calling…Pat Conroy’s lowcountry heart was big enough to include all of us. As a teacher, a mentor

and an advocate, he wanted everyone to find her or his true potential. It’s in that spirit that the Center will take up our mission to continue Pat’s legacy of generosity with readers and writers alike, in and beyond our home here in Beaufort.”

I met Jonathan a year earlier on October 31, 2015 at Pat Conroy’s 70th birthday party hosted by Beaufort History Museum in the courtyard of the historic Arsenal. That event was truly a celebration of Beaufort’s beloved Prince of Tides, with 350 of Pat’s family, friends, and fans gathering from near and far to honor him and his lifetime of work. The birthday celebration was one of the highlights of the multi-day Pat Conroy at 70 Festival (a literary event also encompassing a book festival, writers conference, and film festival). It was an impressive literary festival created and co-chaired

by Jonathan, then the Director of the University of South Carolina Press.

Those attending the festival in October 2015 to celebrate Pat Conroy’s life could not know that four months later they would be mourning him. Just days after Conroy’s death on March 4, 2016, his literary agent and long-time friend Marly Rusoff proposed the idea for a Pat Conroy Literary Center as a legacy to Pat. Plans to create the Literary Center began to unfold immediately with the blessing of Pat’s widow Cassandra King. Jonathan

remade the original festival he had created to celebrate Pat’s life at 70, as the Pat Conroy Literary Festival—now the Conroy Center’s signature annual event. At the close of that inaugural Literary Festival in October 2016, Jonathan was named the first Executive Director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center.

A Literary Career Born in Kentucky, Jonathan grew up in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois on Lake Michigan. When he was 17 his family moved to Martin, Tennessee, home of the University of Tennessee at Martin, where he earned undergrad degrees in English and history. During college, he also served as the assistant director at the campus museum. Jonathan attended graduate school at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale where he earned his masters degree in English. In 1999, after grad school, he took a marketing position with Southern Illinois University Press.

There he met Lisa Bayer, a mentor and friend with whom he’s had a friendly competition over the years—which one of them would achieve the position of director of a university press first?

Jonathan joined the University of South Carolina Press in 2004 in a marketing capacity and over time rose to the positions of assistant director for sales and marketing and interim director, before

www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October 2018 11

being named Director of the USC Press in 2011. He laughed as he recalled that his first day as Director of the USC Press was also Lisa Bayer’s first day as Director of the University of Georgia Press—so their competition ended in a tie!

Jonathan says that he and his wife Lorene welcomed the opportunity to move to Beaufort in 2016 when he was named Director of the Conroy Center.

“We visited Beaufort for years with USC Press events before we moved here, and it has always felt like home to us.” Under Jonathan’s leadership as Director, USC Press was honored with a South Carolina Governors Award in the Humanities, given in recognition of the Press’ commitment to education through humanities publishing. In 2013, he established the Press’ acclaimed Story River Books fiction imprint, edited by the late Pat Conroy and named by Garden & Gun magazine as one of the top 10 things to love about the South. He has also presented at book festivals, writers conferences, and library conferences on topics of small press and university press publishing, literary arts partnerships, and the writing and teaching life of Pat Conroy.

Pat Conroy—Friend and Mentor Jonathan met Pat Conroy when he started at USC Press in marketing. “I’d call Pat to ask for endorsements for books we were publishing,” he says. “When I became Director of USC Press and Pat realized that I wanted to get serious about publishing fiction, poetry, and children’s and young adult books, and about sharing the stories of the South with readers in a way which could empower them and expand their viewpoints, Pat volunteered to become editor at large for Story River Books. He became our tribal elder.”

“Pat Conroy was a friend and mentor to me and so many writers,” says Jonathan.

“Pat wrote about the teachers in his life, like his high school teacher Gene Norris, who recognized Pat’s untapped potential as a writer. Pat did the same for me—he had a way of bringing out a sense of ambition, purpose and responsibility in me that I didn’t know I had,” he explains.

“Pat knew that he could use his fame as a way to champion other writers and causes that mattered to him. He used it as a teaching tool and I want to continue that in my role as Director of the Conroy Center,” Jonathan states.

Leading the Pat Conroy Literary Center Jonathan explains that the greatest challenge for the Pat Conroy Literary

12 October 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

Center is sustaining the Center’s work— doing it well and supporting its programs through fundraising and grants. “We’re here to continue in the same generous spirit as Pat. Pat Conroy was always a teacher and mentor. Writing became a form of teaching for him, and love and teaching were interconnected; so for Pat, writing was a form of love.”

When asked about the Center’s accomplishments that he is most proud of, Jonathan answered, “That’s a difficult question because we’ve done so much so quickly—there’s not one thing in particular. I’m proud of the way that the Conroy Center’s board, docents and volunteers all work together to create a diverse calendar of events, programs and classes that make such a positive impact on the lives of writers and readers. We’ve created a tapestry of interconnected events that are all part of one still-unfolding story.”

On September 18, the book Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy was published, featuring “an illuminating collection of essays honoring the literary legacy of Pat Conroy” by 67 contributing writers. Among those writers are Rick Bragg and Kathleen Parker, both Pulitzer Prize winners (who will be featured at this November’s third annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival). The new book was edited by Jonathan and novelist Nicole

Seitz, and published by Lisa Bayer, Jonathan’s first publishing mentor.

Royalties from the book sales support the educational mission of the Conroy Center.

After two years at the Center’s location on Charles Street in an historic home, Jonathan says he’s excited that the Conroy Center is moving to a space three times larger at 905 Port Republic Street, the former site of the BB&T Bank. The new space will accommodate larger groups, touring exhibits, and more educational programs. The Center’s new location will open on October 5, coinciding with Shrimp Festival weekend and the second annual Lowcountry Book Club Convention on October 6.

The Conroy Center will present the third annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival, in partnership with the USCB Center for the Arts, this November 1–4. The festival’s theme will be Celebrating the Foundations of Faith, Family & Friendship. “We see those topics as the foundation of Pat’s life and writing,” Jonathan explains. “We are fortunate that 24 of the 67 contributing writers for Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy will participate in this year’s festival, many teaching workshops or giving lectures. All 24 will also take part in a dinner on Friday, November 2. If you attend the dinner, you’re guaranteed to hear some good stories about Pat Conroy!”

Howard Family Dental Now Offering New Services

F

amily. Friendly. Dental. These are the priorities that Howard Family Dental focuses on to ensure that the entire family gets the best dental experience possible. Relationships with patients are valued and Howard Family Dental goes the extra mile to make sure each one feels like they are a part of the family.

The team of doctors and hygienists at the Beaufort office want to be sure each visit is exceptional for the patient. Each patient's appointment and treatment plan are personalized to help each one achieve their oral health goals and ensure they develop and maintain healthy oral health.

Total body health starts in your mouth.

Oral care is connected to everything from brain function to immunity. What is going on in your mouth can directly reflect what is happening elsewhere in your body. Conditions such as gum disease can be precursors to serious issues such as cognitive decline and even diabetes.

The dentists at Howard Family Dental are dedicated to each patient and his or her oral health and overall wellbeing.

New to the practice is Dr. Ian Barnard.

He joined Dr. Isaac Hankla in practice at Howard Family Dental Beaufort in February of this year. Dr. Barnard is a graduate of Purdue University with a bachelor's degree in animal science and a double minor in international studies and biological studies. He then graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry.

He also completed an intensive 12 month Hospital General Practice Residency program aimed at treating medically compromised patients, in addition to becoming certified in IV sedation. This certification has allowed the Beaufort location of Howard Family Dentistry to expand its services and they now offer IV sedation to their patients.

So just exactly what is IV sedation? It is very common for patients to feel anxious about going to the dentist, especially if the visit involves a surgical dental procedure.

For those patients, in particular, IV (intravenous) sedation is a safe procedure

option to help patients relax and have a more comfortable experience. After the initial consultation, an IV sedation appointment begins with the placement of an IV into the vein of the patient's arm or hand. Medications quickly flow through the IV, which help the patient become comfortable and calm during the dental procedure. While patients usually are awake and conscious during IV sedation, many doze off or even sleep through the procedure. This is why sedation dentistry earned the nickname of "sleep dentistry."

"IV sedation is a new, convenient service that I am now offering at Howard Family Dental in Beaufort to better serve the needs of our patients, especially those with dental anxiety," says Dr. Barnard.

Dr. Barnard has lived in South Carolina for over the past 2 years, and recently moved to the Beaufort area with his wife, Angela, in February of this year. He states, "We live in downtown Beaufort, which has always been our dream. I love to travel, spend time outdoors, go for walks around downtown Beaufort and on Hunting Island Beach. I love to spend time with friends and family, and learn new things."

Howard Family Dental sees patients of all ages and offers general dentistry including crowns, bridges, fillings, root canals, oral surgery and more. They also offer cosmetic dentistry such as veneers and teeth whitening. While the majority of patients are seeking routine care, it is worth noting that Howard Family Dental also sees patients that need emergency treatment due to pain.

One of the services offered that is gaining popularity at Howard Family Dental is dental implants. Dental implants are a treatment option used to replace missing or failing teeth and are considered to be a more comfortable, natural and convenient alternative to dentures and bridges. Now perceived to be the new standard of care for tooth replacement, implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who suffer NEW from dental disease and/or missing teeth.

Dental implants look and feel like natural

teeth, especially when it comes to dayto-day functions such as eating, smiling and speaking. They start the procedure process with an initial consultation to ensure the patient is a candidate for dental implants. During the procedure, a titanium implant (which resembles a small post) is surgically and securely placed into the jawbone beneath the patient's gum and acts as an artificial tooth root. A connector, known as an abutment, is then placed on top of the implant to hold and support the crown or denture. While IV sedation is not required for placing dental implants, it is recommended. Due to the extensiveness and time involved in placing dental implants, IV sedation is an excellent way to minimize pain and anxiety.

Howard Family Dental Beaufort believes everyone deserves to have a healthy, confident smile and their goal is to educate every patient that walks through their door to help them reach their optimal oral health. The office is conveniently located on Robert Smalls Parkway in the Beaufort Plaza Shopping Center just 10 miles from Parris Island. Call their office PATorIvisit E Ntheir T Swebsite P E CtoI schedule A L an appointment Monday through Friday from 7am until 4pm.

CARL AND CECILE DORR An adventure-filled life story by Emily Burgess

T

he stories flow freely, one into another, as Carl and Cecile Dorr reminisce about their life together. Cecile takes the lead in sharing detail upon detail and Carl interjects to fill in any gaps she didn’t cover. Their eyes dance and glow as they relive each experience. After 58 years of marriage, anyone would have stories in abundance, but for Carl and Cecile, the stories stem from a shared life stacked

with adventure.

In his early life, Carl joined the Army Air Corps during World War II and attended pilot training in the eastern United States. He served with the B29 crew with the 19th bombardment group at Pyote, Texas, nicknamed the Rattlesnake Bomber base. His crew was scheduled to go, but did not ever see combat or make it to the Pacific as the war was over. While he enjoyed his time as a pilot, and to this day

enjoys airplanes, his true passion was cars.

Carl and Cecile met at the Miami Springs Villas Club, the former home of the Glenn Curtis Family of aviation fame, after Carl moved from Buffalo where he claimed it was “quite cold.” Cecile had recently purchased a Renault 4CV which she recalls as “a cute little bug of a car.” Carl encouraged her to buy a more sophisticated car, the electron blue Alfa Romeo Gulietta Coupe.

“It was fast and beautiful,” said Cecile.

“Still my favorite car, but Porsche is a close second.”

Carl’s love of cars developed from his career. He opened several dealerships in Miami selling a variety of cars of English, French, German and Italian makes.

In 1951, Carl purchased a Volkswagen (VW) from the manufacturing factory in Germany. His VW was one of the first to be shipped to America and he went on to have a long-term relationship with VW through his dealerships being one of the first to sell the cars in the United States. In 1956, the Volkswagen Company in Wolfsburg Germany brought Carl, along with a few others involved in the early days of VW, to Wolfsburg to honor them for their significant contribution to the promotion of Volkswagen around the world. Carl was recognized for his work with Brundage Motors and for his agency, Volkswagen International Motors, Inc. in Miami, Florida.

In September 1953, Carl visited the Porsche manufacturing factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany to buy an ivory Porsche 356. Carl recalls walking into the plant with a radio he brought along and requested that the engineers install the radio along with a rearview mirror on his Porsche.

“These German guys looked at me like I was crazy. They said, ‘you are buying the fastest car in the world. No one is going to pass you. There is no need for a rearview mirror.’ I told them, ‘yes, but I am taking it back to America, where there are speed limits,’” said Carl.

Carl wrote about his experience buying the Porsche and at the end of his account, full of details about the factory, the workers, and the cars, he wrote, “As we subsequently racked up some 6,000 miles over mountains and assorted roads without any difficulty or complaints, we came to the conclusion that it might be a

small factory, but they probably know what they are doing.”

Among the many mementos and black and white photos they lovingly have as keepsakes, is the original receipt for Carl’s Porsche 356, totaling just over $2,300 and signed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche himself.

“We do need to clear up the American pronunciation of Porsche,” Cecile said. It is two syllables. Porsch-uh! PCA clubs have had shirts made to make it known. It is Dr. Porsche’s name right?”

Carl and Cecile have remained invested in Porsche throughout the years through involvement in local PCA (Porsche Club of America) clubs like the low country club.

In 2011, the Porsche Parade, an annual event held in different areas of the US each summer, was held in Savannah. Cecile worked with the lowcountry chapter of the PCA as a volunteer in many areas, but had the most fun on the Gimmick Rally, in which drivers follow clues and distances to navigate the course. The planned course brought them to Beaufort and the Penn Center on Saint Helena. Carl and Cecile also had the opportunity to attend the Porsche 70th anniversary event held this past June at the Bluffton dealership.

His love of cars did not stop at purchasing the Porsche or in managing his

www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October 2018 17

dealerships. Carl entered into the world of sports car racing. He raced in many events including Bahamas Speed Week that was originally called Nassau Trophy Road Races, the Cuban Grand Prix, at the Sebring Raceway in Sebring, Florida, and many other sports car events.

His first race was in 1954 in his Porsche 356, at the first Bahamas Speed Week.

He continued to race there every year and even attended the reunion for Speed Week in the early 90’s.

“We were at a race in Cuba the day it fell,” Cecile said. “It was quite scary. We were on the tarmac forever trying to leave.”

Cecile and Carl remember so many details about that time from staying in the same Hilton Hotel as Castro to the award that Castro was supposed to present to Carl and other racers, but never did.

Instead, Che Guevara did the honors.

Carl brought Heinz Werner-Bade, a friend from Porsche, over to the United

18 October 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

States in 1956 to work in his car agencies.

Werner-Bade later became a notable and honored Porsche race mechanic for legendary racers Stirling Moss and Bruce Jennings.

“It was fun times for racing in the 1950’s. Arrive with a car and race. Today, racing is such preparation and takes lots of money,” said Cecile, who was right by Carl’s side during many of his racing days.

Carl raced for twelve years before deciding to quit. Cecile recalls that at the time, there had been quite a few accidents and racing back then did not have the same safety equipment and measures that are in place now. Several friends were killed in racing accidents and they decided it was the right time to step away as they were about to have their first child.

Carl retired and sold his car agencies in Miami and he and Cecile moved from Miami to Beaufort in 1967. Cecile said that they had never been to Beaufort before, but upon visiting the lowcountry, they were shown the hospital at Fort Fremont, which had been privately owned and was for sale. Another group was interested in the purchase and Carl and Cecile had one week to decide if they wanted to buy it.

“We had been looking for a summer place and Carl just happened to drive off the route to see Beaufort. At the Sea Island Motel, the waiter mentioned that he might like to see a ‘kooky’ house that was for sale.

We were young and what an adventure with two babies and no family support. We became beachcombers and restorers and enjoyed every minute,” Cecile said.

Fort Fremont was built in the late 1800’s, in response to the SpanishAmerican War and defended the coaling station and dry dock at Port Royal Naval Station on nearby Parris Island. The hospital, which now serves as Carl and Cecile’s residence, was built around 1906, as a replacement for the original frame hospital. In 1930, the fort was decommissioned and the hospital has been privately owned ever since. On May 26, 1989, it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Although the hospital has served as a private residence, great care was taken to preserve the original architecture and character, telling of the time it was built.

From an administrative office turned guest bedroom, nurses station turned Cecile’s office and eight-bed ward turned sitting room, the original finishes remain, like the rounded out corners in the ward, so that it could be cleaned and sanitized properly to the exquisitely tiled ceiling.

Over the years, Cecile has worked closely with Friends of Fort Fremont, a

charitable organization that raises funds and awareness for the continuance and improvement of the Preserve that is owned

by Beaufort County.

Following his career in cars, Carl was asked to do sales research for a company that was a supplier of books to colleges and universities. He also continued to do other work for sales and computer implementation for a company in St. Louis, Missouri.

“His favorite work was done as a volunteer for the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, England restoring World War II aircraft,” Cecile said. “His engineering skills were finally useful.”

Carl and Cecile lived in England from 1997 to 2005, where Cecile happily worked as an Information Specialist, or librarian, for the Air Force at Lakenheath, United Kingdom. They spent their days visiting every air and car museum or show across Europe.

“Carl’s knees never hurt until we were visiting an art museum. Then he would literally fall asleep on a bench. Can you imagine? Monet’s garden and he fell asleep,” Cecile said. She and Carl both laugh at the memory.

The stories go on and on from staying at Fort Fremont during Hurricane Matthew where their basement was flooded and Carl injured his leg resulting in being air-lifted to MUSC to Cecile’s work with her garden club to bring a tree walk to the Beaufort area. No moment or experience small by any means.

Two lives packed full of incredible experiences and brimming with joy from their two daughters and seven grandchildren. Their days may be a little slower now, but for Carl and Cecile, there is still plenty of adventure to be had.

MARILYN HARRIS Oh The Places You Will Go...

story by Nate Livesay photos by Susan DeLoach

M

arilyn Harris is a vibrant African-American women who has lived an extraordinary life.

Looking at her you might imagine she is a former teacher and a grandmother, but you would be missing so much of her story. Her story is incredible, She worked her way from the back of the commissary to the front of the Pentagon serving her country and her community at every stop. Over the course of her career she earned 3 master’s degrees, top secret security clearances from the Department of Defense, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency and traveled all over the world as an investigator commissioned by congress.

She is and has been many things - mother, grandmother, teacher, counselor, writer, administrator, investigator and now “retiree” - but at the root of all those things has been the heart of someone who wants to serve others.

Growing up in a small southern town in the era of segregated schools and Jim Crow, the importance of education was instilled in Harris’s life. She trained to be a teacher, receiving a bachelors degree and lifetime teaching certificate from the University of Missouri, and this background in education has been central to everything else she has done. She spoke of how happy she was that her parents saw her earn a college degree and of how proud she is that all three of her children have earned undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. She was advised that getting jobs in education with the United States Government would be much easier if she had got her foot in the door by getting any government job. So Harris, currently working as a teacher, went and got one of the lowest grade positions in the commissary - since she didn’t want to be seen by her students or their families or coworkers of her husband, she volunteered to work in the back which her manager gladly gave her since everyone else always wanted to work in the front. She worked a couple of months before her husband received orders and her foot in the door was gone or so she thought. However, her prior government job made her eligible for an internship in the education department and so when they arrived at their next stop she became an intern working in education for the United States Department of Defense.

She entered this internship as the Vietnam War was ending and the decision had been made to professionalize the United States Army. One of Harris’s first jobs was to work with soldiers who

didn’t have a high school diploma to help them pass the test that would allow them to remain in the army without one. She was given 6 weeks to teach and tutor them before they took the Armed Forces Classification Test that determined whether they could stay in the Army or whether they would be discharged and sent home. This experience deeply impacted her as you could see the emotion on her face as she described the young men she worked with.”I had six weeks to train people who were unable to write their name and some of them I wonder about and think about to this day” She described one soldier, a son of sharecroppers from Mississippi who desperately wanted to stay in the Army because it was his way out of poverty - he confided in Harris that the first pair of shoes that had ever been just his were his

Army boots, but because he had no formal education he was unable to read or write.

She successfully petitioned for another six weeks to work with him, but even 12 weeks wasn’t enough to overcome his prior lack of education. She described how he spent his tearful last day learning to sign his name so that he could endorse the check they were giving him before they put him on the bus back home.

This led to her next job as an Education Services officer setting up education centers for the U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, Germany and for a battalion of the 101st Airborne serving as part of a multi-national force on the Sinai Peninsula between Israel and Egypt. She was responsible for working with various educational institutions to sign contracts and to set up schedules that would allow soldiers to earn a high school or college

www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October 2018 20

diploma during their assignment. Her work in setting up these education centers has helped countless soldiers acquire degrees that help them advance their careers and succeed in life beyond the military.

Her work with the contracting office paved the way for her to make the transition from education to contracting and acquisitions and she spent ten years as a working in this area for the U.S. Army European Command in Germany.

From 1996-1999, Harris worked for the Army Material Command based in the Pentagon, working in acquisitions and procurement. At the Pentagon, she helped write policy but also reviewed multimillion dollar contracts for things like missile defense systems. Her work at this post resulted in multiple promotions and earned her several Generals recommendations to attend the prestigious United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This was an incredible opportunity for a civilian and Harris made the most of it. During her time at the war college she attended night classes at Shippensburg State University and on a day in early June of 2000, she graduated with two master’s degrees, one in Public Administration from Shippensburg State and another in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College.

Following her time at the War College she continued working in Washington, D.C. and was often shuttled to meetings at the Pentagon and in fact was scheduled to attend a meeting in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Harris’s experiences and skillset allowed her to work her way up to the most important job of her career, that of Senior Procurement Official, Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting, with the Army’s only Intelligence Command, INSCOM. This was in the years after 9/11 and required that she have top secret security clearances. In this role, she was read into numerous top secret programs and was responsible for making sure the Army had everything it needed and occasionally for reigning in an overzealous General who wanted one of everything.

In 2005, she accepted a job as an investigator for the United State House of Representatives Appropriations committee. This role required Harris to receive intense training and another round of security clearances, this time from the FBI and the CIA. She was part of a team of investigators that were tasked with providing oversight on how government funds were being spent and investigating

22 October 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

claims of fraud, waste or abuse. This meant lots of travel, sometimes by plane - sometimes in a Blackhawk helicopter.

She spent time in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Senegal investigating a U.S. based contractor who had received millions of dollars in contracts for training soldiers and refurbishing equipment.

She was also dispatched to U.S. Army outposts in Korea and Japan after reports of substandard living conditions for soldiers. This extensive investigation led to improved living conditions for many soldiers in these bases.

In 2010, she was persuaded by a friend to spend her last four years before retirement as the Director of Policy for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. In this role, she overhauled the procurement department and what had been a shorthanded and underperforming department was doing high quality work before her retirement in 2014. Reflecting on her years of government service Harris said “I was able to impact the lives of veterans who needed veterans benefits from home loans to college to medical care and finally burial services. I have

supported soldiers throughout the span of their careers and their lives. I have no words to describe how much that means to me. Mostly, I’m most proud of my government service because of all I learned from so many amazing people and in so many amazing roles.”

Harris retired in 2014 and bought a home on Dataw Island and moved to Beaufort in June of 2015. Since she arrived in Beaufort, she has done anything but sit around and smell the roses though.

Throughout her life she has been active in service and in the community and her time here in Beaufort has been no different.

She renovated her Dataw Island residence and, continuing in the spirit of service she exhibited in her career as a teacher and decades of service as a civil servant, she gives seminars on women’s empowerment and is on the board of directors at the United Way of the Low Country and Second Helpings - a non-profit that provides food to the hungry in Beaufort County. She also serves on the board of Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) a non-profit that works with the Small Business Administration to support small business.

World traveler, independent publisher, printing broker and marketer turned franchisee...

Daria Carver Paterson added Discovery Map® of Beaufort to her existing publishing portfolio.

aving lived at her family’s home in Saint Thomas, producing traveler magazine ads, maps and TV spots for the tourism industry since the 70's for the U.S. Virgin Islands and for Saint Barth, Daria has always focused on what a visitor needs... it’s in her blood.

“People don’t travel to stay in a hotel.... they need to know what to do and where to go, and most of all – they want to plan their stay.” As a 16 year Beaufort resident, Daria Carver Paterson, has helped locals and tourists discover Beaufort with her original Beaufort Visitor Map Guide and Smart Shopper Map. But in 2016 she purchased a Discovery Map® franchise, realizing this was the absolutely best way to put her talents and hometown quite literally on the map!

Daria first learned of Discovery Map® via the owners of Discovery Maps® of Canada, the Caribbean, Charleston and Maine. “After doing my own research, I could see why it would be a smart business move for me. There’s really nothing like the Discovery Map® in our market,” said Daria. Adding, “From a work perspective, owning a Discovery Map® franchise made sense, as I was already in touch with many of my clients due to my other publications.

So, having a Discovery Map® in my tool chest provided an additional resource to court advertisers.”

“Beaufort is a city that shows up on pretty much every top 10 list for best places to live in South Carolina,” said Paterson, who in addition to her Discovery Map® of Beaufort, has recently returned from a successful sales cycle for the 201819 Key West Discovery Map®.

She added, “Beaufort has also become a popular tourist destination for visitors both on their way to and from Charleston, Hilton Head and Savannah. People love our map because, up until three years ago, there really hadn’t been a map guide for

visitors or locals that clearly shows the many fun things you can do in Beaufort and the lowcountry and how to find them from their location. My map is offered in 14 South Carolina welcome centers, including Parris Island, as well as nearby airports, every hotel and nearly 250 other locations and growing every day.”

The print run for her 2019 Discovery Map® of Beaufort’s edition will be 200,000 copies. There are over 150 Discovery Map® destinations worldwide, with 11 new territories coming on board this year, so she’s also got her eye on other locations for future maps.

Beaufort’s Discovery Map® is the most successful lowcountry area map to date and also offers proprietary geo-location services for people downloading the ‘To Scale’ Map on any device and across all platforms. Now when they want to visit a business on the map they will be able to see directions and distance from their location.

But, Daria isn’t just all about maps.

She is a world-traveler– enjoys learning French and other languages. Having spent a lot of time in Morocco living among the Berber tribes and searching out the ancient jewelry of the Sahara Desert, Daria has always had a passion for North Africa. She lives with her husband Tom, a retired Landscape Architect, who helps out keeping tabs on sales and by making sure their map racks stay full and clutter–free.

Get your business on the Map! Businesses interested in advertising in the 2019 Discovery Map® of Beaufort can contact Daria at 843-441-1922 or dariap@discoverymap.com.... to make an appointment. Sales are in full swing now and space is limited. For more info visit https://discoverymap.com/beaufort-sc to see how the fun digital map works!

Why won't you STAY. . . just a little bit longer?

E

Story by Kat Walsh

at Sleep Play Beaufort is making a comeback. With new owners, a new brand, a new focus, and even a new name, Eat Stay Play Beaufort aims to be a trustworthy resource that presents the people and places of Beaufort in a positive light.

The business’ name change may be subtle, but the change to the business itself - and the impact it will have on our community will be substantial. ESPB’s new owners, Ginger and Will Wareham, explain.

So, what is Eat Stay Play Beaufort? What does it mean?

The new name - changing “Sleep” to “Stay”- better reflects what we all want to do here…STAY a little bit longer. Eat Stay Play Beaufort will focus on ensuring that tourism benefits all residents as it continues to drive business to Beaufort’s hospitality industry and provide a world-class destination for visitors.

We are excited to reinvigorate the ESPB brand and have endless ideas on how to better serve our community. Of course, there is a great deal of work to do on our end in an attempt to repair and nurture existing relationships established by the previous owner, who is no longer involved with EatSleepPlayBeaufort or Relish Media Group in any capacity.

What inspired you both to take this on?

We almost couldn’t help ourselves. You can travel the world and meet thousands of interesting people, but there’s something special about the Lowcountry and the people who call it home.

We understand that living here is a gift. Being a positive, upbeat member of this community - that’s how we demonstrate our daily appreciation for that gift.

When you are given a gift, there’s a responsibility to pass it on and share it with others. Whether it’s celebrating at a local event or simply enjoying one of our magical sunsets on the marsh, there is so much happiness and joy to be shared around here ... it’s contagious!

How will Eat Stay Play be different than before?

Our objective is to be an inspirational steward for Beaufort, SC, and surrounding Sea Islands. With enthusiastic support from local businesses, family and friends, we will strive to create something for everyone.

By definition, a brand steward is responsible for managing brand alignment within an organization. But it’s so much more than that. It’s about clearly and consistently advocating for the brand: fighting for it, defending it, upholding its core values, and living its essence.

So how can we cultivate and encourage our community to be brand stewards?

We believe that by working together, we achieve so much more

24 October 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

than working alone, so the new ESPB will definitely be an open and collaborative effort. We want you to be a part of this online community. We want your suggestions, feedback, insight and knowledge to grow this project. We want to be able to illustrate the connection between the locals and visitors that we have grown to love and get to experience every day. The southern hospitality, the friendly and welcoming faces, the experiences you can only get here, in the Lowcountry.

We want to depict real people and tell their real stories that make this area so unique. We want to engage our visitors and locals to live and enjoy this brand authentically every day. So get outside with your GoPros and cameras and drones and capture the experiences that can only be found here in the Lowcountry so that we can share it with the world!

What is the plan?

Over the next few weeks, we will be contacting each of ESPB’s existing and former advertisers. In an effort to repair relationships, we will attempt to better understand each agreement made prior to our ownership and identify the most appropriate path forward. While we are not responsible for the debts of the previous owner, we will make every effort to work with each of you to arrive at a mutually satisfactory arrangement.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition period.

We are so grateful for all the kindness we have received since announcing our aquistion. We believe in this project and the positive impact it can have on our community. Our culture is all about transparency and support…we care deeply about our PickleJuice™ and Relish Media Group clients, our community, our team and one another.

The Beaufort Sound Hearing and Balance Center Improving Day-To-Day Lives

T

story by Chris Kincade

he Beaufort Sound Hearing and Balance center is a locally owned audiology clinic located in Beaufort, SC, under the care of Dr. Larry Bridge.

Dr. Bridge received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from East Carolina University and his Doctorate of Audiology from Louisiana Tech University in 2009. He and his wife, Megan, have raised their three daughters here in Beaufort over the past six years.

In January of this year, he finally reached a major personal and professional goal of opening his own private practice.

When asked what he loves most about living in and serving the people of Beaufort County and surrounding areas, and Dr. Bridge explained, “Beaufort is a special slice of paradise. I love the ‘laid back’ lifestyle and feel of the town. It suits me perfectly. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful individuals since moving here, and I love chatting with and hearing stories from patients, as well as being able to serve them so that I can bring clarity and the ability to hear the world back into their lives.”

Dr. Bridge has a mission to improve the day-to-day lives of his patients by providing quality, individualized care and treatment for hearing loss, dizziness and tinnitus. His vision is not only to improve his patients’ hearing and balance, but to also help them reconnect with family and friends. Dr. Bridge stated, “From a hearing healthcare standpoint, I think it is important for patients to know that when they come into the office, they are seeing a Doctor of Audiology. I completed eight years of schooling and am trained to diagnose, treat and monitor disorders of the hearing and balance system.”

“Furthermore, I have practiced audiology for over ten years in every audiological setting. There are a lot of individuals and marketing campaigns out there designed to get

photos by Susan DeLoach

individuals in the door with free screenings or cheap products, but I urge everyone to research the individual that they are seeing before their appointment. Do not let the “white coats” or big ads fool you.

Make sure you are seeing an audiologist so that you receive the best care possible,” he adds.

“I think what separates our office from the rest is how at ease our patients feel when they walk into the office or sit down in front of me. You have that sense of calmness when you walk through our doors and a lot of that credit goes to my office manager, Logan Green. She has worked in healthcare for over 10 years and is by far the best at what she does. Her demeanor transfers a sense of comfort and warmness to patients who really feel at ease when they come to the office,” explains Dr. Bridge.

The Beaufort Sound sees patients from

newborns to adults for various audiological evaluations and are in the process of setting up videonystagmography (VNG) equipment to help find and treat the cause of vertigo and imbalance problems.

“I want each and every one out there who may deal with hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo to know that there is help. Do not ever think that ‘nothing can be done to improve my problem’ or ‘this is as good as it gets.’ There is always something that can be done to improve your quality of life and we are always here to help,” said Dr. Bridge passionately.

The Beaufort Sound's office is located at 206 Sea Island Parkway, Suite 31, in Beaufort, SC. Learn more about The Beaufort Sound and their services by going online to www.TheBeaufortSound.com, or by calling their office at 843-522-0655 to schedule your appointment today.

LARRY HOLMAN, PRESIDENT / CEO Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce story by Cindy Reid

he Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce (BCBCC) offers education, products and services for disadvantaged business enterprises and socioeconomically

disadvantaged communities.

The U.S. Black Chambers, Inc named the BCBCC the 2018 Chamber of the Year and it’s easy to see why our local Black Chamber was so honored. Among their many community development

undertakings, the BCBCC has embarked on a highly anticipated new venture- the BCBCC Multiplex.

Beaufort Lifestyle caught up with BCBCC President and CEO Larry Holman to learn about the new Multiplex and other

current and future projects.

What’s new with the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce (BCBCC)?

What’s new is of course our new building, the BCBCC Multiplex, an Education, Business and Entertainment Support Center, which is located at 711 Bladen Street, Beaufort. We had the grand opening and ribbon cutting on August 24, 2018, and our target date for opening the building for business is October first.

The Multiplex is a completely renovated 15,000 square foot building consisting of three floors, which the BCBCC will use for many community and business purposes.

Let me tell ‘give you the tour’!

The First floor will consist of an art gallery on one side and a restaurant on the other. Our art gallery will feature artists of this area and also travelling exhibits of special interest to the community. The restaurant will feature soul food and will host jazz music on the weekends. We are planning on having the restaurant open at the end of October, beginning of November. We have a firm commitment from a local restaurateur, so stay tuned for more details!

The second floor has a commercial kitchen which will be used for a variety of purposes. It can be used as a caterer’s kitchen for events taking place in the

building, and we plan on using it for culinary classes. The second floor also has conference and training rooms, with a capacity of 150 people. The BCBCC offices will also be on the second floor.

We definitely need the space as we have outgrown our current building, where we’ve been since 2006. and we will utilize six offices.

The third floor will be used to incubate small business startups, and will also provide office space on a rental basis. It is ideal for those that are just starting and for those that are ready for their first office.

Also cubicles for those that need working space but don’t need a full office, for the social media types and for people that don’t necessarily want to work from their home. It can also be used by people who aren’t necessarily residents, but need office space while they are in town. These spaces can be rented by the hour, by the day and by the month.

The office spaces all have windows and it is a very professional setting, complete with a lobby, space for a receptionist and a conference room. Every space is outfitted with Wi-Fi. Tell us about the journey to completion.

Creating multi use environments has always been our goal. The idea to have a building came about in 2014 and so we

purchased the building at the county tax sale, as it was about to be foreclosed on.

However there was a lien on the building that needed to be dealt with and we were able to pay that off in two years with a loan from the USDA. Two years ago the building was almost completely renovated and in November 2016 there was a fire that destroyed the upper floors. The blaze was ruled accidental after a team of federal investigators worked with local fire officials to determine the cause. The good news was that we had insurance, which covered the loss, and while the insurance was being processed we cleaned up the site so we could start rebuilding right away. We started the rebuild last September.

What is unique about the space?

LH: There are two balconies, which can be used for all sorts of events. For instance you could have a wedding that flowed out to them, or a corporate event that flowed from the second to the third floor. You could set up tables, booths to showcase business; all of it can be used for just about anything. You can bring your own chef and have food prepared in our commercial kitchen to be served at your event. The way it flows is really neat!

The Multiplex will truly fill a need, in fact we already a commitment for six of our offices. Once we get going the building

www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | October 2018 29

will pay for itself and be an asset for the community. In addition the BCBCC will be hosting webinars with other chambers around the country, monthly and quarterly, to showcase what we’ve done and share ideas with other chambers on a national level.

Who can use the space?

LH: The buildings rental spaces, such as the office spaces, event spaces, conference and training rooms etc, are available to anyone, regardless if they are a BCBCC member or not. What we going to is a membership price and a non-membership price. (Membership is offered on an annual basis.) Regarding our prices, we will be competitive with the other venues in the area.

What is your favorite area in the building?

LH: I love the second floor but the restaurant really is a favorite space for me.

Sitting in that room and looking out the windows, it’s relaxing. The windows are beautiful; it is such a nice environment and ambiance. And that’s with just tables and chairs! Wait till we put in the restaurant tables and dress it up. There has been a lot of talk and support for the restaurant, and looking at the neighborhood, it fits right in.

We also bought the two properties behind the building to be used for parking space and we will offer valet parking.

How will the Multiplex benefit young people?

LH: We will offer a variety of programs

to keep neighborhood kids really active and off the streets. One of the large rooms, 200 square feet, will be used for filming, mixing and coding classes. We will be using our commercial kitchen for classes on culinary arts and we will also be offering piano lessons.

What would you like our readers to know about the BCBCC? LH: I really want people to know that we are a CDFI, which is Community Development Financial Institution and we are looking into affordable housing and will be applying for funding with the goal of getting it stated within the next two years. This is not just talk, gentrification is happening but it needs to take place slowly and not push everyone out.

We also have a state contract for home improvements for seniors, which means we are able to provide concrete help for senior homeowners, such as a new roof, air conditioning, ramps for access, and other basic necessities.

People may also be surprised to know that we have been making micro loans, up to $100,000, since 2012 via the USDA, SBA, and CDFI. We have made a total of 1.3 million in micro loans. We help our community and we are involved with our community.

How many people work at the BCBCC? LH: We have four staff members and other ancillary staff such as marketing person and an admissions coordinator.

We have approximately 135 members, individuals and businesses. We have support from the community in many ways and I want to mention the Bank of Ozark, who got us equipment, such as professional desks for the new building

and donated $ 25,000.

How long have you been involved with the BCBCC? LH: I have been involved with the BCBCC since its inception in 1999, first as Treasurer, and then I was elected President and CEO in 2001. I had taken early retirement from J.C.Penney and I’ve been President and CEO since then.

I learned a lot at J.C.Penney, I was Store Manager at Cross Creek location from 1996 to 2001. I love what we do here, there is nothing like giving back.

When we arrived in Beaufort I felt like I was coming home even though I had never been here before. We, my wife Wilma and our four children, had spent our lives in the Winston-Salem and Durham, North Carolina area. We love Beaufort, and every year for the past three years we have gathered our children and with my sister’s family we rent houses at Fripp Island for a week and have a blast!

Your favorite place in Beaufort?

My porch overlooking the marsh with a cold beverage in hand! I just recently started drumming the last two months, so I go out there and beat my drums. The neighbors haven’t complained –yet! My other passion is visiting other countries.

Recently Wilma and I went to Cuba. It was our second trip there, and we love the people, the neighborhoods and the classic cars. I don’t know where we are going next, I’m sure we are going somewhere- my wife will tell me!

Corriveau Insurance Agency Customer Service is Their Foundation

A

ndy Corriveau, licensed State Farm Insurance Agent and owner of Corriveau Insurance Agency didn’t really go looking for insurance. Instead insurance came looking for him while he was attending Jacksonville University by way of his father.

“My father was an old Navy Chief, and one day I came home from school and my dad said, ‘this lady from State Farm called and wanted to know if you wanted a job working part-time after school. I told her you would be at her office tomorrow at 2 PM sharp,’” Andy recalls. Andy worked his way up through various positions in the State Farm organization and was eventually moved to Beaufort in 1972.

Andy loves what he does and realizes he is lucky to have a job that he truly enjoys.

“I have clients who have been insured with me for more than 35 years, and I enjoy meeting new clients,” says Andy.

Corriveau Insurance Agency’s mission is to deliver personal professional insurance and financial services to their customers.

“It’s important for me and my team to understand what our clients need, and then to find the best solution for their needs, at the best price. We provide a service, and customer service is the foundation of our work,” states Andy.

The Corriveau Insurance Agency will help their customers manage risks and secure their future by providing valued long-term products and services resulting in a respected relationship. Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Property Insurance, Business Insurance, Life Insurance, Health Insurance, Banking services and Annuities are among the extensive list of services offered through Corriveau Insurance Agency.

“I have been withInc State Farm for more Corriveau Ins Agcy than 50 years. I bring a lot of experience AndytoCorriveau, Agent the table, from both the insurance 2048 Pearl and Street perspective from living a life. Unlike others in the industry, Beaufort, SC 29902 I am not going anywhere and will be here when you need

When asked why people should turn to Corriveau Agency as their trusted partner for insurance needs, Andy explained, “for most folks, their home is one of their biggest assets.

I represent the largest Auto and Homeowner insurer in the country and bring to our clients a company with an ‘A’ rating for financial ability and stability.”

local clients. And even though we have our local office, if you need to get help, our team is available 24/7/365,” continued Andy.

Andy is proud to serve Beaufort County and has done so not only through Corriveau Insurance Agency, but has also held positions on many local boards, school improvement councils, and advisory committees in the area. “Although I am not quite as active as I used to be, I did enjoy my tenure as the Chair of the Beaufort County Construction and Appeal Board and the Port Royal Design Review Board,” adds Andy.

1113 Craven Street Moss hung oaks and grand southern homes rich in history line the streets of the Historic Landmark District in Beaufort, SC.

oss hung oaks and grand southern homes rich in history line the streets of the Historic Landmark District in Beaufort, SC. One of the finest and most notable homes is the Maxcy Milton House also referred to as Secession Home. The home was originally built by Maxcy Milton, circa 1810, as a school for boys. In the 1840’s Edmund Rhett, brother of U.S. Senator Robert Barnwell Rhett purchased the home. The first meeting in favor of secession from the Union took place in the Maxcy Milton Home.

Enjoy being steps from Historic Downtown Beaufort’s most well-known shops and restaurants and relax while watching lavishing sunset views along the Beaufort River. The home and grounds currently has 4 bedrooms/ 2.5 bathrooms.

Zoning also allows for this iconic home to be a 10 room bed and breakfast.

Upon entering the grand foyer of the palatial home, you will see the aweinspiring 10.5’ ceilings, Heart Pine floors and beautiful mahogany staircase. The main floor’s spacious living and dining rooms are separated by large pocket doors on the east and west side of the grand foyer. The living room tells a rich storied past of how the Order of Secession was first drafted by Robert Barnwell Rhett (US Senator), brother of Edmund Rhett.

room open onto the piazza. The home has 10 fireplaces, 6 of which are Italian marble and 4 pine, with beautiful millwork. Cozy up with a book in the reading room with views of the beautiful lush grounds.

In the original design, Maxcy built the kitchen in a back room on the ground floor. It was then moved to a separate house as was custom in the 1800’s. The “kitchen house” as it is called, is directly behind the home and now serves as a guest house. Today the gourmet kitchen and breakfast room are now located off of the dining room and back foyer. The gourmet kitchen has a Subzero refrigerator as well as a Viking dishwasher, oven and stove. The kitchen’s custom cabinets were designed with functionality in mind and to fit with the 1800’s greek architectural design of the home. The stunning heart pine island with mahogany trim was also designed to complement architectural designs of the 1800’s.

The stately mahogany staircase leads to the second floor. The upstairs foyer serves as a central point to 4 spacious bedrooms with the ability to add more rooms. Each Will Thurman Broker Associate 864-337-4089 Will@BayStreetRealtyGroup.com

bedroom is accompanied by a fireplace and closet that is conducive to modern times.

Natural light gleams into the bedrooms from the original windows.

The upstairs foyer leads out to the

grand 2nd floor piazza, also called the “party proper,” that was used to entertain privately while still enjoying views of the Beaufort River. “Piazza Blue” can be seen on the ceilings of the piazza. Once used to ward off “evil spirits,” the color likely resulted from a desire to use a light, reflective hue to visually open the enclosed space, coupled with the availability of blue dye made from the indigo plant., an 18th century prized commodity.

History is written on the plaster walls along the basement with names and drawings that were scrawled by soldiers and well known politicians dating back to the 1860’s. Two spacious rooms with fireplaces are located in the basement of the home.

Minutes from the hustle and bustle of town, a solid concrete wall surrounds the grounds and allows you to escape to your own private oasis. The generously sized grounds are landscaped with lush greenery. One can enjoy an evening fire on the patio or a morning cup of coffee in the courtyard, along the east side of the home.

TIDAL WAVE AUTO SPA

T

idal Wave Auto Spa, created

by Scott and Hope Blackstock, started in the Atlanta area in 1999 with a 5-bay self-service wand wash station and later evolved into the first express car wash that revolutionized the car wash industry.

Tidal Wave’s signature model was located in metro Atlanta, and its success with the public attracted visits from industry insiders from across the country. Tidal Wave’s founders had traveled across the southeast researching ways to improve the industry.

Following their initial “wave” of success, Tidal Wave Auto Spa expanded throughout Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Alabama. Fast, efficient and friendly service and sparkling clean cars make their loyal customers their best ambassadors. “Our fans are passionate about Tidal Wave!”

Tidal Wave Auto Spa Team Joshua Gainey found his way to Tidal Wave Auto Spa while living in Florence, SC. “I was a customer long before ever working for the company. I loved the car wash so I bought the monthly membership,” laughed Joshua. After falling in love with the Beaufort area, Joshua and the Tidal Wave team decided it was the perfect time to open a new location on Lady’s Island.

Joshua is continuously impressed with the Tidal Wave company structure. “Our structure from top to bottom has a family run company feel to it,” remarks Joshua.

“It’s not a corporation where you never meet the CEO. In fact,” he continued, “our CEO is one of our biggest assets in the company. He will give you his cell phone and the shirt off of his back if you need it.”

There are so many great reasons to wash your car with Tidal Wave Auto Spa. They are green! They have built-in technology that recaptures the water and recycles it to minimize waste. While washing your car at home uses on average 93 gallons of water, Tidal Wave Auto Spa uses just 32 gallons per car.

They are clean, and they aren’t just talking about the cars! They take pride in their communities and are focused on

maintaining attractive, clean locations.

Their people are yet another reason Tidal Wave Auto Spa stands out among the rest.

Their team members are friendly, caring, responsible, and highly competent.

Team members undergo background and drug screen checks before being employed

by Tidal Wave Auto Spa. Possibly the best reason to visit and support your local Tidal Wave Auto Spa is their on-going commitment to their local communities. They offer fundraising opportunities for schools, churches, civic groups, sports teams and more.

In fact, their “giving back” extends well beyond Beaufort County lines as well. Tidal Wave Auto Spa’s founders work closely with organizations that serve children and adults with developmental disabilities, as they themselves have a child with special needs. Through Charity Day and additional

giving, Tidal Wave has donated over one million dollars to special needs programs from 2000 to 2017.

When you bring your car to Tidal Wave Auto Spa on Lady’s Island, you not only leave with the comfort of having a spotless car, you also drive off knowing you have helped the planet, as well as those on it. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Joshua wanted to say to the people of Beaufort County, “thank you for your support! Our customers are some of the friendliest that I have ever dealt with in my life.”

Stop by to meet Joshua and his team at 9 Sam’s Point Road, Lady’s Island. You can learn more about Tidal Wave, their Unlimited Wash Club membership, and their community involvement by visiting them online at www.TidalWaveAutoSpa. com or by calling 706-938-0991.

Kalady Audiology is Your Key to Healthy Hearing

A

t Kalady Audiology , their mission is to assist people in getting back to their lives through better hearing. They understand a hearing loss may prevent you from living your best life and are here to help with a knowledgeable and compassionate staff that listens to you to provide you with the best hearing health care possible.

Ironically, Dr. Kalady struggled with one aspect of her passion throughout the years.

“I have always loved what I do, but not always where I was doing it,” explained Dr. Kalady. She had worked for 24 years in an Ear, Nose and Throat physician’s office. “I always felt rushed, not being able to devote the time needed to establish a relationship with my patients.” So, in 2016, Dr. Kalady, along with her husband, Mark, and 3

daughters, Molly, Madelyn, and Maeve, moved from the Philadelphia suburbs to the Beaufort area. She was driven to make her dream of owning her own practice, where she could provide her own vision of care, become a reality. Kalady Audiology opened its doors to the people of Beaufort County and surrounding areas. “I now have the time to build relationships with my patients, and because of this, provide personalized care,” shared Dr. Kalady.

Kalady Audiology offers a comprehensive list of services and hearing solutions, including Hearing evaluation, Hearing aid evaluation and recommendation, Hearing aid fitting, Hearing aid troubleshooting and repair, Hearing protection, and Cerumen Management.

When asked what makes Kalady Audiology so unique, Dr. Kalady explains,“We are the only practice in the area that is Audigy Certified, an exclusive endorsement awarded to the nation’s top independent hearing care providers. A strong patient/provider relationship based on honesty, integrity, and values is what you will receive along with knowledge and

experience.”

Dr. Kalady was sure to compliment and offer thanks to her team at Kalady Audiology. She added, “Kalady Audiology is a team effort, and a big part of that team is Lena Ball, our office manager. Whether you need a tubing change, batteries, coffee or a big ‘hello,’ Lena is there to make sure you feel welcome.”

Kalady Audiology is located at 968 Ribaut Road, Suite 2. You can learn more about their team and services by going online to www.KaladyAudiology.com or by calling 843-271-6864. Let the team at Kalady Audiology get you back to living your best life today!

1635 On The Avenue... An Unbelievable Dining Experience

I

f you are searching for that uniquely special dining experience in the Beaufort area, be sure to explore Paris Avenue in Port Royal. There you will discover a hidden treasure of 1635 On The Avenue. This two-story grey building located at the gateway to Port Royal will offer up some of the most amazing food the Lowcountry has to offer. If you are looking for a casual night out with friends or romantic dinner for two, 1635 On The Avenue is the perfect place.

1635 on the Avenue, owned by Lorett Hayes, first opened their doors nearly four years ago. Lorett is no stranger in the restaurant business. Her resume includes four successful ventures in the upstate, including owning and operating a bed and breakfast which included, Café Leisure, a 65-seat dining room prior to “retiring” to Beaufort. It wasn’t long after moving to Beaufort that Lorett realized her passion for food and sharing that passion with others was greater than a life of leisure.

Lorett explains, “I became a chef by accident.” She continued about her path saying, “I was blessed, and in my thirties, I realized I had something that people

wanted, a love for cooking.” Lorett could not be more accurate as locals pour into 1635 On The Avenue day after day to experience that passion for cooking that leaves everyone craving more after each visit.

“Our menu reflects a love for spice with some creole dishes, but we also offer comfort foods like buttermilk friend chicken and Italian style meatloaf. We believe we serve the best Escargot and Mussels in the area. Our shrimp and grits are a big hit for those who have tried them,” says Lorett.

Plan to begin your experience at 1635 On The Avenue with one of Lorett’s incredible starters, from the Escargot served with crusty bread to Steamed Mussels. While enjoying your starters, your senses are captivated with the continuous aromas of her delicious entrees such as the Crab cakes or the Black and Bleu Pasta. Even Lorett’s Catfish with a creolo gravy on smoked gouda grits provides a unique and unforgettable experience for one’s pallet. Lorett then plates each creation to absolute perfection tying the entire experience together, remarking, “I believe we eat with our eyes

first.”

Lorett still takes the time to leave her kitchen to meet and greet her guests. If there is anything she loves more than cooking, it is connecting with people who share in her passion. “I actually love the restaurant business and not just the bottom line,” she comments. What matters most to her is that “people feel like they actually had an experience and it was a pleasure,” adds Lorett.

“We thank our loyal customers who have helped us become a success as we are approaching our fourth year here in Port Royal,” says Lorett with a humble and thankful tone. Their customer base stretches from Fripp island, Dataw Island, Callawassie, Spring Island to the locals of Beaufort and Port Royal.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience today! 1635 On The Avenue is located at 1635 Paris Avenue, Port Royal, South Carolina. Their number is (843)379-0607. Dinner is available Wednesdays through Saturdays from 5pm – until. They take their last seating for dinner at 8pm each evening.

FRIENDS of Caroline HOSPICE Festival Of Trees story by Chris Kincade photos by Paul Nurnberg

I

f you are looking for a great way to kick off the Christmas Season this year with a heavy helping of Holiday Spirit, we have the perfect event for you! The 31st Annual Festival of Trees event, to benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice, will be a held this year starting Sunday, December 2, 2018 with events running through Saturday, December 8, 2018. The Festival of Trees is their largest fundraiser each year and has become a heart-warming tradition in Beaufort County.

The Festival of Trees showcases beautifully decorated trees that are judged by local celebrities for their originality and creativity. Judging of the trees is based on the categories titled Whimsical, Traditional and Student.

Each year Friends of Caroline Hospice selects co-chairs for the Festival of Trees, and they are excited to announce that the co-chairs for this year’s events are Mr. Peter and Mrs. Karen Wyman and Dr. Simons and Mrs. Amy Hane.

66 October 2018 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

“I am so pleased to represent Friends of Caroline Hospice as the co-chair of this year’s Festival of Trees with my dear friend Amy Hane,” wrote Karen.

The event kicks off with Kids Snow Day on Sunday, December 2nd, and is an event for families. This event is $3 for children ages 5 and up, and free for children ages 4 and under. Real snow is brought in for the

younger ones, or those still young at heart, to play in the snow, make snow angels, or have a snowball fight. They will have face painting available and a photo opportunity with Anna and Elsa from Frozen!

There is also a rumor that Santa may be able to take a moment out of his busy schedule to visit Beaufort in support of one of his favorite charities, Friends of Caroline

Hospice.

Thursday, December 6th, Friends of Caroline Hospice will host their annual Festival of Trees Gala at Tabby Place amidst the trees with music, wine, beer and lots of food from some of Beaufort’s best local restaurants.

The Festival of Trees closes out the week-long event with their 2nd Annual Gingerbread 5K on December 8th at 9am. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes for the run/walk through the streets of Port Royal and will be joined by Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves and reindeer for the event!

The Festival of Trees would not be possible without the support of the community. “What people may not realize is that Friends of Caroline Hospice counts on the funds raised through the Festival of Trees to support the services offered through Friends of Caroline Hospice throughout the year,” explains Karen Wyman.

It is important to know how far your dollar can reach when you support Friends of Caroline Hospice through this event.

Sponsorship of the Business Trees ($350), sponsored by a Business or Organization, covers the cost of one patient’s oxygen and a hospital bed for thirty (30) days, as well as, Bereavement Support for their family.

Sponsorship of the Family Tree ($150), sponsored by a family or individual, covers the cost of one patient’s pain medication for 30 days and Bereavement Support for the family. The Family Tree is a new option for 2018, is a smaller tree 4’-5’ for families to decorate and participate in the event, and is a beautiful way to honor a loved one. This package is limited and will be

available at a first-come-first-serve basis.

One ticket to their annual Festival of Trees Gala covers the cost of one patient’s pain medication for 30 days.

In addition, Friends of Caroline Hospice is offering another way to help by selling a new item at the events this year. “We will be selling commemorative ornaments for families to purchase in honor of or in memory of their loved ones,” explains Karen. Their hopes are that this will be an opportunity for everyone to feel as though they too can make an impact.

Friends of Caroline Hospice has many volunteer opportunities for the Festival of Trees events as well. “It really does take a village,” explains Karen. “Whether it is a High School group looking for community service hours or a church group looking to help in their community, we absolutely welcome the help! Volunteer opportunities include assisting with setup, assisting with raffle ticket sales, or working the desk at the beginning of the event to help guests check-in,” adds Karen.

Friends of Caroline Hospice would also like to take this opportunity to extend their sincere appreciation for this year’s Premier Sponsor, Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

“We are honored to have the support of Beaufort Memorial Hospital,” says Karen.

To become an event sponsor, to sponsor a tree, or to purchase Gala tickets, visit them online at www.

friendsofcarolinehospice.org

Friends of Caroline Hospice provides quality of life care that offers hope and encouragement to those nearing the end of life’s journey, as well as, support for their family, friends and community. They were the first non-profit hospice organization

founded in Beaufort County and have been proudly serving the community for 38 years. Lindsay Roberg, Executive Director states, “We continue to be a non-profit organization serving the same mission, which is anyone, regardless of their ability to pay, receive the same exceptional services that we all deserve at end of life.

It is really important to us that people not have to worry about the financial burdens that come with taking care of somebody at the end of life. All of the patient’s medical care is provided by us including medical staff, medications, equipment and supplies.”

Karen, co-chair of the Festival of Trees, also added that the care through Friends of Caroline Hospice extends well beyond Beaufort County by also offering care to their neighboring counties of Colleton County, Hampton County, and Jasper County.

Providing hospice care for loved ones is only one service through Friends of Caroline Hospice. They also offer bereavement and caregiver support services to all individuals in the community regardless of their ability to pay. Friends of Caroline Hospice also partners with the Beaufort County School District and offers support groups for children who have experienced loss.

Roberg explains, “it can be any loss -- a pet, parent or grandparent. We work closely with the guidance counselors in the schools to ensure that children know what they are experiencing is normal and that they are not alone.”

Please join us December 2nd through December 8th to kick off the Christmas Season with an event that is not only guaranteed to put a smile on your face but also a smile in your heart knowing you are helping to offer hands of support to those who need it most through the Friends of Caroline Hospice.

The Power Of A Lens

W

hat an incredible challenge to describe a man whose work says so much without a single word. John Wollwerth found a love for photography through a hobby of his father, who was an amateur photographer that loved his old Exacta camera from East Germany. When his father passed, John inherited that old Exacta and began exploring the world through his very first lens. Seeing his work, he was encouraged by friends and family to pursue this talent and turn it into a fulltime profession.

“In 2005,” John explains, “I came to a crossroads. I either needed to start over in business doing my previous job, or I could start my own business doing photography.” Faced with two options, both resulting in starting over in life, he decided to follow his true passion for photography. John then shared some wisdom he himself had found along his journey saying, “life is too short to do things you hate just because it's secure.

If you have a passion for something, and you're good at it, find a way to make that what you do. Put a plan together and start setting goals.”

John is an award-winning photographer, and his work has appeared in numerous publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, Inside Weddings, Garden and Gun, South Carolina Homes and Gardens, and many more.

He has traveled the world to fifteen different countries on four continents, from Ethiopia to underwater sessions in the Caribbean Sea and back again to his home in Beaufort. His work not only captures a scene, or the people in it, but also brings each one of us along on his explorations into the four corners of the world. We are invited into different countries, different walks of life, celebratory moments, moments of anguish and those of joy, all connecting us as a human race and all through the power of a lens. John doesn’t simply focus on beautiful opportunities, but rather has a keen eye for capturing humanity at its core.

John also has a passion for missionary

work in Africa where his photography and videography tell a story that often stirs emotion and brings people into action.

“There's the satisfaction of capturing something compelling or something beautiful or heart wrenching. But there's also the satisfaction of knowing that I'm able to make a difference with the work I do,” explains John.

In addition to his global photography, John is available for family portrait sessions and is a well-known wedding photographer. Whether you are tying the knot right here at home in the Lowcountry or plan to have a destination wedding, John is ready to capture those precious moments and lock them in a breathtaking time capsule of print form.

It is an incredible talent to not only capture the moments themselves, but also the emotions, joy and love connected to

those moments all through a photograph, yet John masters it all and seemingly effortlessly.

John loves serving Beaufort county saying the area, “has the right combination of almost everything. The people are very warm here and I truly like working with them.” He continues, “there's no shortage of scenery and fantastic places to shoot a family portrait or a wedding.”

John also works with Beaufort Lifestyle.

“John is an amazing photographer! He has been with me since the beginning of Beaufort Lifestyle, nine years ago!

His work is impeccable. I am blessed to have him on my team,” raves Beaufort Lifestyle’s owner, Julie Hales.

Visit www.WollwerthImagery.com to see more of his captivating work. You may also call John at 843-252-3056 to schedule your session today.

Saxon ends 30-year career on ambitious note

B

eaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority’s General Manager Ed Saxon, PE retires in February of 2019 with thirty years of service to the Authority and to the community. His final year with BJWSA is marked with numerous milestones – a testament to his dedication to their mission to Inspire Trust and enhance Public Health.

BJWSA achieved more than one million safe work hours without an injury resulting in a lost workday. This remarkable record is a result of every employee’s commitment to safety and compliance with BJWSA’s robust safety program, and employees are laser focused on achieving the 2,000,000 safe hours mark.

A five-year strategic plan, Crystal Clear 2022, prioritized the galvanized/ cast iron replacement program which resulted in BJWSA’s commitment of $4M/year for the next two years to fund full replacement of these troublesome lines. Other initiatives of the plan include enhanced call center metrics, new metering and bill-paying initiatives along with increased investment in the workforce coupled with enhanced predictive maintenance and asset management strategies.

The $30M Hardeeville Water Reclamation Facility (HWRF) expansion project came online in July. To demonstrate our commitment to sustainability, BJWSA designed and constructed this project to achieve the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) Envision rating system’s Bronze award, the first of its kind in South Carolina. This innovative facility provides additional capacity to support new businesses and industries moving to the area and produces a highly treated, reclaimed water quality effluent.

Additionally, a project is underway to divert wastewater from a growing Lady’s Island to the Port Royal Water Reclamation Facility (PRWRF.) BJWSA’s wastewater facility on St Helena currently receives these flows and as a result, is nearing capacity. This $6M diversion project, which will come online in the next six months, costs $3M less than expanding the St Helena plant to meet the future needs of Lady’s Island. PRWRF has sufficient capacity and is a state of the art facility designed for advanced treatment.

To protect our drinking water source, BJWSA became a founding member of the Savannah River Clean Water Fund (SRCWF.) We are working with four utilities in SC and GA to create one of the largest bi-state utility collaboration projects of its kind with a goal of establishing conservation easements on large parcels adjacent to the river in the lower Savannah Basin.

By leveraging a SRCWF contribution of $534,125 with the National Fish &

Wildlife Foundation, the SC Conservation Bank and The Nature Conservancy, we are close to executing our first conservation easement on a 13,681-acre parcel that has a value of $10,984,000.

Saxon leaves the Authority poised for growth and prepared for the future of the water and wastewater industry.

“It has been a true joy to live and work in our wonderful slice of paradise and an honor to serve the citizens of Beaufort and Jasper counties for 30 years,” he says. “It’s amazing to reflect on the growth that BJWSA has experienced, growing from a small water agency in 1989 that had 30 employees, annual revenues of ~$3M and ~$20M in assets to the fifth largest utility in South Carolina with 200 employees, ~$58M in revenues and assets totaling more than $670M. Thanks to a great group of dedicated BJWSA employees who are committed to BJWSA becoming a leading Utility of the Future.”

Painting The Lowcountry With Style

A

ki Kato, was born in Yokohama, Japan, and found a talent and passion early in life for drawing and painting. Aki studied art in both Japan and the United States, studying both Eastern and Western artwork, earning a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the University of Central Florida. “My style is very realistic, but at the same time can be very whimsical,” explains Aki. While attending high school in Japan, Aki had watched a movie based on Pat Conroy’s novel, The Water is Wide, that was filmed in the Beaufort area and said he was “mesmerized by the beautiful scenery.”

While teaching a furniture painting class, years later, at a local technical college, Pat Conroy’s sister happened to be one of his students. The Conroy family now owns

some of his artwork. “Their family has helped me tremendously,” remarks Aki. “Sometimes I feel that things happen for a reason,” Aki explains as he reflects on the serendipity of it all from falling in love with the scenery in that movie years ago, to now knowing Pat Conroy’s family and living in Beaufort County.

Some of Aki’s breath-taking creations around Beaufort County include the South Carolina State Seal exhibited in the Beaufort County Court House and the Lowcountry marsh mural for Tidal Wave Auto Spa on Lady’s Island. He is currently working on a second mural for Tidal Wave, as well as a project for Port Royal Veterinary Hospital. They will be opening later this year where and he is painting six doors for their examination rooms.

Aki hinted that there may be an exciting announcement about a new commissioned project in the near future, but we will have to wait to hear more soon!

SOUTHERN TREE SERVICES

S

story by Chris Kincade

onya Reiselt, long-time resident of Beaufort County for over 38 years, and her husband, Ronnie Reiselt, native of Beaufort County, are the owners of Southern Tree Services of Beaufort, Inc that has been servicing the Lowcountry for over 28 years. Their story together, however, began well before starting a successful business together. Sonya and Ronnie met one another when they were only 14 years old, later married in their early 20’s, and are now celebrating 24 years of marriage.

Sonya shared with me a bit about how Southern Tree Services got its start 28 years ago. The story began with a simple favor for Ronnie’s mother, Shirley Reiselt.

Ronnie was working for his father in the heavy equipment industry when his mother, a landscape design architect working on Dataw Island, needed some help removing a few trees on the property.

So, as any good southern son would do, Ronnie jumped into action to help his mother. A good friend, hearing of his new side project, then suggested that he go into the tree service industry as a profession and encouraged him to obtain certification in tree care. He did just that, becoming an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist. Naturally, with Sonya and Ronnie both having strong entrepreneurial spirits, the next step was for them to start their own business, and thus, Southern Tree Services was born. They have been proudly serving the Lowcountry ever since and are passionate about their work. Sonya says that they consider it an honor to be trusted with the stewardship of thousands of the most beautiful and prestigious landscapes in Beaufort County.

Southern Tree Services and their team have built a reputation throughout the years for excellence by providing their customers with quality service and complete satisfaction. Something Ronnie and Sonya both credit to their Southern Tree Services team. “We have an incredible team of personnel from our general foreman, our tree service crews and crew leaders, to our dedicated office manager and assistant office manager,“ explained Sonya with great pride.

They have several Certified Arborists on staff, including Ronnie and Sonya, along

with their general foreman, Thomas Hunt. In addition to being part of the International Society of Arboriculture, they are also proud members of the Tree Care Industry Association, Society of Commercial Arboriculture, Lady’s Island Business & Professionals Association, Greater Beaufort Chamber of Commerce,

and The National Federation of Independent Business.

Sonya shared what she and Ronnie feel separates Southern Tree Services from the rest, saying, “we are not simply a tree removal service. We go well beyond to take the time to educate our clients and provide all possible options, such

as pruning, fertilization and preserving the trees as alternatives to tree removal.”

Southern Tree Services has a wide variety of services that can be custom tailored to fit your specific needs. Services include lightning protection, pruning of trees and shrubs, insect and disease analysis, tree transplanting, root fertilization, bracing/ cabling, and tree/stump removal.

“We take pride in helping to keep this area, that we love so dearly, beautiful,” says Sonya. “We feel fortunate every day to have the opportunity to nurture and protect something that came to be long before we were around, and to know we have helped to ensure they stand strong long after we are gone.”

It has been proven time and time again that trees increase property value. Mature trees on a property and attractive landscaping are extremely helpful in attracting buyers. Southern Tree Services works closely with many development companies in the area, both commercial and residential, to assist with tree preservation, planning, and care.

Various projects range from the Wal-Mart construction project on Lady’s Island, the old and new Publix on Lady’s Island, and many more. They also work closely with local contractors on housing development projects to assist in assessment and design of new lots in an effort to preserve specimen trees.

One thing some readers may not know that Sonya shared with me is that Beaufort is one of the 3,400 communities that have earned the title of being an official Tree City USA Destination. Tree City USA is a nationwide movement that provides the framework necessary for communities to manage and expand their public trees. Tree City USA is greening communities across the country, and the program is a great opportunity to celebrate the importance of an urban tree canopy and improve care of these vital city trees. (Arborday. org) Sonya mentioned the importance of such a distinction, pointing out that this is simply another reason Beaufort County is such a popular vacation destination. “I always say that we live in an area that is so beautiful that others travel from all over to vacation here,” says Sonya. Our local and majestic trees play such a vital role in that attraction to the area.

Ronnie and Sonya truly believe in

sharing their gifts and talents as well.

“God has really blessed us, and we never take that for granted,” says Sonya. They are active members of Meadowbrook Baptist Church on Lady’s Island and are passionate about giving back to their local community. They strongly believe in helping their neighbors and support several local charitable organizations.

They participate in many fundraising events in Beaufort County each year, including CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association) events, the Dragon Boat Races in Beaufort for cancer patients, and the Festival of Trees through Friends of Caroline. The Festival of Trees is one that is especially near and dear to their hearts, as they have watched firsthand the effects of cancer and have lost loved ones to the disease. Southern Tree Services was the headline sponsor for the Festival of Trees in 2016, and Sonya has chaired the event off and on over the past 10 years.

Salumi and Formaggi Authentic Italian Cuisine

story by Emily Burgess

N

estled on Market Street in idyllic Habersham, just a few steps away from the picturesque post office, sits Salumi and Formaggi, an authentic Italian restaurant. Authentic is an understatement, as the co-founders, Stefano Camassa and Salvatore Eros Maio, hail from Brindisi, Puglia on the southeast coast of Italy and seek to bring the traditions of their home and family to the lowcountry through food.

The idea for Salumi and Formaggi took shape in Camassa and Maio’s minds in May of 2017. Just a short six months later, their vision came to fruition when the restaurant opened December 1, 2017.

The partners originally came to Miami from Italy, where they lived for six years, running a catering business called Two Italian Boys. After driving through the Beaufort area, they saw a great need for a good Italian restaurant with exceptional

service.

Both Camassa and Maio, who also serves as the executive chef, place a great emphasis on family. This theme is woven into every aspect of their restaurant and is demonstrated through the menus with printed black and white photos of their own families back in Italy. Candid shots of their mothers and fathers eating and drinking, enjoying the community they have.

The recipes used are straight from home and have been passed down through the generations. They even had a four-day stretch when their own mothers came to visit and took over the role of chef in Salumi and Formaggi, serving eager patrons in a packed out restaurant each and every night. “Whatever you see on the menu, the recipe has come from my grandmother and my mother. And I give it to our customers,� Maio said.

Camassa and Maio seek to bring exceptional service in addition to exceptional food. They believe that quality service is of equal importance to quality food and strive to make each customer’s experience the best. Their website boasts that their focus is on providing traditionally flavored Italian cuisine with a European style of service, meaning multiple courses and a relaxing atmosphere for patrons to eat and enjoy the fellowship around their table.

“From when they walk into the door, we want them to have a 100 percent excellent experience of the restaurant. We want them to be greeted and welcomed and have great food,” said Camassa.

With an emphasis on excellent service, they certainly haven’t neglected the importance of the food. They seek to take customers on a journey through each dish they encounter making every visit to Salumi and Formaggi an experience unlike any other.

Ingredients are the freshest they can find. Meats are sourced locally through

farms and the highest quality seafood is purchased through Sea Eagle Market right here in Beaufort. For other ingredients such as cheeses, they go right to the source and get it all imported from Italy to ensure the authenticity of their dishes.

The menu is concise offering an array of Italian dishes. To keep things fresh, Maio changes the menu multiple times a year to ensure that seasonal ingredients are being used.

“We change the menu three or four times every year to give to people a different experience. For the winter, for the spring and for the summer,” said Maio.

Camassa and Maio shared that a

majority of their patrons are local to Beaufort and surrounding areas. Word of mouth has spread favorably for the restaurant and customers are driving from as far as Charleston to partake in the Italian experience that is offered.

“Ninety percent of our customers live here. Many drive from Savannah, Bluffton, Callawassie Island, Oldfield, even Hilton Head. They hear about it from friends.

They are starving for good food. They come here once and spread the word. We were open for barely two months and we had people coming from Charleston that heard about us,” said Camassa.

The moderately priced menu ranges from $8 starters up to $25 dishes like the vitello piccata, which is veal, capers and artichokes in a wine reduction.

There is something for everyone with
