Battery Creek aviation students get plane-side, hands-on lesson at airshow
T
he futures of techsavvy Battery Creek High students took a leap forward Saturday – by traveling back 75 years in aviation history. The GEICO Skytypers invited 20 students from Battery Creek’s Project Lead the Way program to the tarmac to inspect a squadron of six vintage WWII planes performing at
the 2015 MCAS Beaufort Airshow. Project Lead the Way is a national engineering program that lets high school students earn college credit toward careers in aviation. It exposes teens to critical math, science and engineering skills in demand by local employers like the air station in Beaufort, Boeing in Charleston and Gulfstream in Savannah.
“We’re thrilled that the very same planes that trained the pilots of the Greatest Generation are helping launch the careers of a new generation of pilots, designers and aviation mechanics,” says Commanding Officer and GEICO Skytypers lead pilot Larry Arken. Tony Petrucci teaches

continued from page 1 Clyburn has led an extraordinary life. In Blessed Experiences, Clyburn tells in his own inspirational words how an African American boy from the Jim Crow–era South was able to beat the odds to achieving great success and become, as President Barack Obama describes him, “one of a handful of people who, when he speaks, the entire Congress listens.” Born in 1940 to a civic-minded beautician and a fundamentalist minister, Clyburn began his ascent to leadership at the age of twelve, when he was elected president of his National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) youth chapter. Clyburn was elected to Congress in 1992. Serving as copresident of his freshman class, he rose quickly through the ranks and was elected chair of the Congressional Black Caucus in 1999 and House Democratic Caucus vice chair in 2002. Three years later he was unanimously elected chair of the Democratic Caucus. When Democrats regained the
House majority in 2006, Clyburn was elected House Majority Whip. Now as Assistant Democratic Leader, Clyburn, a self-described independent, prides himself on working to overcome barriers and destroy myths without becoming too predictable. “I have worked across party lines to further legislative causes, and on occasion publicly differed with some of my allies in the civil rights community,” says Clyburn. “My experiences have not always been pleasant, but I have considered all of them blessings.” Of his success Clyburn says he was “blessed with nurturing parents, a supportive family, and loyal friends.” “But,” he added, “my life was not just about knocking down doors and lowering barriers. I spent some time marching in the streets and occupying the inside of South Carolina jails.” As a civil rights leader at South Carolina State College, as human affairs commissioner under John C. West and three subsequent governors, and as South Carolina’s first African American congressman since 1897, Clyburn has established a long and impressive record of public leadership and advocacy for human rights, education, historic preservation, and
economic development. Currently, Jim Clyburn is the leadership liaison to the Appropriations Committee, one of the Democratic Caucus’ primary liaisons to the White House and Chair of the recently formed House Democratic Outreach & Engagement Task Force. Warren Buffet stated, “Jim Clyburn’s book Blessed Experiences has captured not just the history of this tireless leader’s morethan-four decades in public service, but also a sense of the times. While Jim has broken many barriers as the most significant African American member of Congress, his true success comes from his approach to collaboration on the national issues, as well as his ability to understand the needs of the constituency that he represents.” Everyone agrees Blessed Experiences: Genuinely Southern, Proudly Black is a must read for anyone who wants to know what life was really like for this southern gentleman, both then and now. As attendee David Grim remarks, “The sampling of stories he shared demonstrated why Jim Clyburn has been such an effective advocate for our fellow citizens in need and for our democracy.”
CORRECTION It appears the editorial staff of The Island News was misled by an over-enthusiastic parent about the success of Beaufort’s 10U Baseball Team. It seems they did not in fact come in first place in their division. Nor even in the top 10. However, we know they tried really, really hard and each player got better as the season went along. Next year we hope to run the same headline, except this time we will double check our sources to make sure it is accurate. We apologize to the team, and their family, that holds the number #1 position. 2

Up with upcycling: the many uses of doors By The Habitat for Humanity ReStore
We have been upcycling together with items found at the Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity ReStore for months now. Today, we will be upcycling doors. At every turn, there is a chance to repurpose and reuse either a new door or a weathered one. Both doors with and without windows work great for upcycling projects. We can use them free standing, in a corner, or hanging on the wall. They look great in gardens used as fences, or potting sheds. Salvaged doors are great to fill up huge wall spaces. They can be displayed vertically or horizontally. You can paint them colorfully; add hooks, pegs and shelves. There is no limit to your creativity. So come in to the ReStore, select your door, and let’s get started! Turn the door of your choice into a hall tree. Add a mirror in the center and put coat hooks beside the mirror. Turn the door sideways, and it becomes a

The airshow plane-side lesson is part of a commitment by the GEICO Skytypers to help students imagine careers in all aspects of aviation. Many of the mechanics who maintain the rare SNJ squadron and keep the planes in top airshow condition are graduates of similar programs in the Northeast. Thirty-five-year-old Frank Atria is the

Doors make great backgrounds for shelves. Add a crown molding on top and customize the shelf space by placing brackets where needed, or do it the opposite way by leaning the door against a wall and putting the shelf space behind the door.

chief line officer for the Long Island-based GEICO Skytypers. “Physics didn’t make sense to me until I enrolled in an aviation program like Tony Petrucci the one at Battery Creek,” says Atria. “What’s different about this type of training is that you end up using every single thing you learned in school, from math to fabric work to metal forming.” Jim Record, GEICO Skytyper pilot and professor at the Dowling School of Aviation says it’s important for students to realize careers in aviation extend beyond becoming pilots. “Airshows like the one in Beaufort
into a headboard is becoming very popular. Horizontally they can be used to screw hooks, lamps, etc, into them. Vertically they make interesting headboards with the hardware (hinges, doorknobs) still attached. Paned doors are a unique way to go with this as well. You will find as you work with doors that they can become all kinds of upcycled pieces: coffee tables, beverage servers, message centers, room dividers. The sky is the limit! So head on out to the ReStore and pick out a door or two and enjoy your new project! The ReStore is a great place to pick up such items and all proceeds go to a good cause. The LowCountry Habitat for Humanity ReStore is located at 616 Parris Island Gateway in Beaufort and is open Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Donations welcome.

can’t go on without the very best ground crews maintaining the planes, ” Record says. “And when you add in careers in air traffic control and aircraft management, the sky really is the limit. Battery Creek High School Senior Mark Hatrick (18) quoted after he sat in the cockpit of a plane older than his grandparents, “I never thought just looking at the outside of these planes that they’d have as much technology in the cockpit as they do: GPS, pressurized sensors and everything. My main goal is to design the next generation of planes.” Hatrick and 17-year-old fellow senior Ian Klauck got some advice from GEICO Skytyper solo pilot Tom Daly. He’s also the Dean of Aviation at Dowling School of Aviation on Long Island.
“These kids start college with a mission, knowing what they want to do. So they have a much higher retention rate and end up with successful careers,” Daly says. “I’m putting aviation students into jobs before they even graduate – the sky really is the limit if they’re well prepared.” Petrucci, who was invited to ride in one of the Blue Angel’s plane during yesterday’s practice, remarked, “What motivates me is when a student comes in because they like planes and want to be pilots. Then these innovative high schools give them the chance to see how many different fields there are in aviation. The air station and this airshow are a microcosm of that – everything from mechanics to first responders to air traffic controllers.”
Historic marker dedicated at Wesley United Methodist Church Wesley United Methodist Church, located in Beaufort’s historic district, reached another milestone in its long existence. Members, friends and supporters of the Church gathered for the dedication of the marker which recognized the Church as an historic landmark and celebrated with a reception afterwards. District Superintendent Reverend Thomas Pearson, joined UMC’s pastor, Reverend James Ross in conducting the responsive Dedication Ceremony. The short, but profound ceremony, included the presentation of the marker by the Old Commons Neighborhood Association to the Church and the acceptance by the Church. The marker, erected on the corner of West and Prince Streets, now stands as
a testimonial to the Church being the first Methodist Church in Beaufort. Chartered as the Methodist Episcopal Church, the mission began in 1833, with the appointment of ten pastors, of which Reverend George W. Moore was to be the leader. The missionary venture was to serve and work with the people on six of the Sea Islands: Port Royal, Lady’s Island, Saint Helena Island, Parris Island, Dataw Island and Coosaw Island. The Church is believed to have been built in the 1840s. The original outer structure has been maintained to this date. Bishop William Capers dedicated the Church on March 18, 1849. According to a Beaufort City Survey, the porch, with the steeple and the choir
loft, were added sometime between 1849 and 1899. Under the leadership of Reverend D.D. Cox, 1847-1850, the membership was 379 African Americans and 27 whites. During the Civil War, the Church was confiscated by the Union Army and utilized as a school to teach newly freed people. After the Civil War, the Church was turned over to its African American members and has since served a predominately African American membership. Church and community members are grateful for this visual means of documenting and preserving the significance of the Church in Beaufort’s history. The Beaufort County Historical Society, the Historic Beaufort Foundation and other local historians shared their

knowledge, resources and time to ensure that the marker was obtained.

Helping HELP of Beaufort On Tuesday, May 5th, thousands of philanthropists across the Lowcountry will be making monetary gifts to support their favorite organizations during the Lowcountry Giving Day, an event sponsored by Coastal Community Foundation which so far has raised more than $3 million to provide momentum for participating nonprofits. Among the many deserving organizations located in or near Beaufort County is HELP of Beaufort. 100 volunteers strong, HELP has worked for 35 years through its Emergency Services and Mobile Meals programs. Emergency Services alleviates poverty by providing prescriptions, food, clothing and some

Meals provides meals 5 days a week to those in need by paying for 75% of the meals for those who can’t afford to and delivering 100% of the meals. In 2014, 17,350 meals were delivered. To provide accountability and data for grants, HELP uses Charity Tracker to monitor how often individuals and families receive assistance. Between their collaborative partnerships with human services agencies across the Lowcountry and the dedicated generosity of HELP’s many volunteers and donors, HELP truly cultivates a community wherein neighbors assist one another. HELP’s upcoming “Double Your Donation Night” on April 21st from 6 p.m. to closing at Fat Patties in Beaufort will support its Lowcountry Giving
Day campaign. HELP will accept check gifts that night, and proceeds from Fat Patties sales will go towards HELP as well.

$25 million senior living community coming to Port Royal in 2016 Big Rock Partners and joint venture partner Millennium Real Estate Group, announced plans to begin construction of a $25 million upscale senior living rental development in Port Royal in early 2016. “As the economic upswing brings an influx of retirees and tourists to the Lowcountry and resort islands, we’re moving ahead with the Port Royal/ Beaufort area’s first new senior living rental community in over 15 years,” Dean K. Morrissey, Managing Member for Corporate Development said. “Big Rock’s deep expertise in all aspects of senior housing development makes them the ideal partner to create this latest anchor in Port Royal’s redevelopment.” The joint venture partners have assembled a best-in-class team to design, market and operate the Port Royal senior living community, with completion
projected by early 2017. Winston Salembased CJMW Architecture is designing the community to include 126 rental residences – 60 independent living and 45 assisted living apartments, plus a 21unit memory care section. America’s third largest senior living management company, Life Care Services™, an LCS® company, will operate and market the community. On-site amenities will be geared to comfort and an active lifestyle. They will include a fitness center and a range of dining options, including a bistrostyle café. Outside, the focus will be on a gracious, walkable design, with garden areas and pathways among the Live Oaks. The site’s walk-to-everything convenience will be a key to keeping residents engaged in Port Royal’s lively community scene, from street festivals to bird sanctuaries.
April 26 is fast approaching and that means the second Lady’s Island Reiki Clinic of 2015. This lovely holistic offering is a form of energy work that hales from Japan and is translated as SpiritGuided Life-Force Energy. I am honored and excited to be part of the Reiki Community sharing this offering. I first heard about the clinics during my Reiki infancy back in 2009. Those blessed clinics molded the intuitive healer that I am today. We cannot heal until first healing ourselves. Those clinics formed the bonds of friendship and basis for healing that I am the beneficiary of today. The Reiki clinics gave many their first taste of energy healing and quite possibly the first transpersonal experiences of their lives. Then the clinics faded away a few years ago as we ceded to the natural ebb and flow of life. Now, thanks to the insight of Reiki Master Ashana Jones, the Reiki community is bringing back this lovely offering of healing and fellowship. Reiki’s roots found fertile ground in Japan in the late 19th century. Reiki’s intelligent energy is now rooted in the sandy soil of Beaufort and growing along with the live oaks that bless our vistas at every turn. Reiki’s benefits can include deep relaxation, accelerating the body’s natural healing ability, increasing mental focus, emotional releases, and even spiritual revelations. Reiki is the path to whole self-care that attracts many due to its relative simplicity to employ into
everyday life once attuned. In its simplicity lies its beauty to empower individuals to cope with the curve balls, fast Chris Suddeth balls, and flop shots of life. It can be a life changer that produces results even after just one short session with a practitioner. Reiki is unique in the energy work world in that, it can be shared (as is the intention of the Lady’s Island Quarterly Reiki Clinic), but it can also be passed on by a Reiki Master to a recipient. Once this intelligent energy is “passed on” or attuned into the recipient, it’s theirs to do as little or as much with as they see fit. Come experience this soothing energy in the locally available tool chest of holistic living. This Lady’s Island Reiki Clinic will be held at 9B Rue Du Bois April 26 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Additional dates are July 26, and Oct. 25. Contact Ashana Jones 843-263-3148 or Chris (Sutty) Suddeth 843-263-2397 for more information. Donations are accepted and appreciated but not expected. When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5 year old, Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing®, Intuitive Healing, as well as teaching all three levels of Reiki attunement classes. You can contact him at 843-263-2397 or chrissuddethccr@gmail.com.

is the “admissions coordinator at NHC Bluffton Skilled Nursing Facility” and she helps by serving the leftovers to the family on a regular basis. Andrea Smith is a 9-5 working professional and is another very satisfied customer of Gourmet on Wheels. She says, “If I had to cook for myself, it would be chicken and spinach every night. With Tony, I order a variety of different items and am constantly trying new and different foods. Today I had Rutabaga. Seriously. Totally new for me as a vegetable.” Andrea has serious food allergies and cannot tolerate high levels of sodium in her meals. “I don’t have to worry with Tony’s foods. They are always low in sodium and I simply am able to enjoy the food which I cannot do if I am eating in a restaurant.” So,when he’s not cooking,Tony caddies (and maybe plays a little golf himself ) at many of the fine clubs in our area. But food is always first on this mind. Mother’s Day is

or 5 meals at a time and use them all week long pretty much alleviating the necessity of both shopping and cooking for themselves. Mrs. Lee Stevenson, 89, says,“Gourmet on Wheels is one of the best things I have ever found. I need a walker now and I really don’t like to cook so I order all my favorite things from Tony. Plus, my appetite isn’t what it used to be so sometimes there is enough left over for lunch the next day, and sometimes I just eat the whole thing.” She continues, “The food is nutritious and well balanced. You always get vegetables and fruit along with your entrée.” Gourmet on Wheels is very much a family project. Tony’s mom, Delores, is “100% Italian” as he describes her and many of the dishes they offer are from the old school. Delores comes down from Charleston on Monday to cook and then delivers here in Beaufort as well as on her way home to Charleston on Tuesday. His three children, Tradd (17), Cameron (14) and Lucie (12) all help with the company as well whether it is after school washing dishes or delivering to Hilton Head during the summer. In addition, Tony’s nephew Trey “is a Charleston schooled chef who now works at Saltus as a sous chef and cooks with us on Mondays”. And not to be left out, his wife, Anna

Once upon a time, there was a nice young man from New Jersey who ran nursing homes and assisted living facilities for a living. His love of cooking came from his family. Both his parents and grandparents owned restaurants. So, he tried his hand at that and owned a restaurant in Louisville, KY for a while. He moved to Beaufort in 2006 to run Bay View Manor here in town. One day, he had a thought. Was there a way to combine his love of food and restaurants with something that would suit the needs of the elderly? And thus was born Gourmet on Wheels. Tony Mazar, founder of this wonderful idea, now rents a kitchen usually at a club that is closed on Mondays, solicits help from family and friends, and creates low calorie, low salt, and low sugar gourmet meals for mostly seniors that are delivered on Tuesdays and are ready to heat and eat. The meals are microwavable and freezable and usually are the right size for two people. Tony found that his audience in the assisted living facilities had many counterparts who were still living in their houses but things like cooking nutritious meals was becoming more and more difficult. Yet nutrition is just as important for seniors as it is for young children. Many of his customers will buy 4

social scene
Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.
O
ur very own Marine Corps Air Station hosted nearly 100,000 of its closest friends and neighbors at the Beaufort Air Show this past weekend. The show is designed to showcase naval aviation at its best with a demonstration by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels along with all types of other aircraft. Plus additional presentations by the world famous GEICO Skytypers who are a flight squadron of six vintage World War II airplanes and is the only existing
World War II civilian squadron flying today. The six vintage SNJ-2’s demonstrate low level precision flying and deliver aerial messages, known as Skytyping. Not to be outdone, civilians Patty Wagstaff, Mike Goulian, and Rob Holland performed acrobatic stunt flying that simply made your stomach drop and you began to mumble a constant, “wow, wow, wow...” Couldn’t have said it better.

Relative strength and philosophy At first, you might not think that relative strength and philosophy are related in any way. But they are, because every strategy is based on some philosophy of the market. Different philosophies lead to different strategies. We like relative strength because it is simple and straightforward. Of course, there are other strategies, includingsomethatarequitecomplementary to relative strength. A nice encapsulation of philosophy leading to strategy appeared on The Bloodhound System blog. A couple of excerpts from the article are instructive. The first is a quote from Forbes columnist Rick Ferri in a Morningstar interview: Strategy comes from philosophy. If you don’t have a philosophy, you can develop a strategy, but it’s only going to blow apart the next time it doesn’t work for a month or two. And you are going to go onto another strategy, and that’s the worst thing you can do. This is very true. Over my career, we’ve seen many investors careen from strategy to strategy, never sticking long enough with any of them to pursue success. The author of the blog piece, Bill Moore, we think really cuts to the core of why a deeply held philosophy is so important to help achieve success. Having some kind of belief system is necessary to have conviction. With conviction comes discipline---and we believe discipline is the key to everything. ...what’s really important is that you have a philosophy that makes sense to you and that you believe in and that you then create a strategy which you would execute with discipline. As much as pundits might dogmatically espouse one investing philosophy or another making
12
it seem like it’s their way or the highway there are thousands of investment philosophies and in turn strategies. The reason multiple philosophies can work out well is that inherent in having Arthur Levin a philosophy, or belief system, is that you have conviction in it. We believe that kind of discipline, not so much the philosophy itself, is the key to an investment plan.

school news
A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Get out those purple t-shirts! On April 24th, faculty, staff, and students in all our schools will be asked to wear purple shirts/tops to honor our military children/families. In the public high schools, students can wear solid purple, purple flowered tops, purple striped tops, or purple designed shirts/ tops, but must wear uniform bottoms.
And Battery Creek is going to paint their whole school purple. Why? Because it is Purple Up Day in honor of our Military Kids! With more than 39,000 students involved in some way with our Military, it is appropriate to honor those who have shouldered added responsibilities and
duties because someone in their family is involved with keeping us all safe. Ok, so why purple? Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military. Purple is the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue.. The Operation Military Kids
organization initiated wearing purple on a designated day in April five years ago to show support for military children. We’ll be wearing purple on April 24th and we hope you will support our military kids even if you don’t have a loved one currently in the service. They all deserve our support and respect.
BHS STUDENTS RECEIVE SCHOLARS RECOGNITION The Beaufort County School District honored eight Beaufort High School seniors for outstanding academic achievement at their annual Senior Scholars Banquet. Seniors who receive this recognition have maintained a 3.5 grade-point average, are in the top 10 percent of their classes and have earned at least an 85 average in each quarter of all of their high school courses. “ This year’s Senior Scholars are definitely an impressive group,” said Board of Education Chairman Bill Evans. “Not only have they worked hard and been very successful in their academic work, but they’ve also been active leaders in their schools and powerful role models for
younger students. To say that their future is bright would be an understatement.” This year’s banquet speaker was Lt. Joni Lattice Tillman, a pharmacist in the U.S. Navy whose duties have included being deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2010 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. She is currently Pharmacy Department Head at the Naval Hospital Beaufort, the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island Branch Health Clinic and the Marine Corps Air Station Branch Health Clinic. Scholar banquet honorees are Keaton Butler; Allison Crandall; Andrew Jezewski; Rebecca Mandell; Frances Myrick; Vincent Phaneuf; John Pike; and Alexandra Zapp.

school news St. Peter’s Catholic School celebrated Pi Day (mathematical theorem) for an entire week. Students enjoyed making Pi chains, measured all sorts of round objects, taught K-3 to 4th grades about Pi and read them Pi stories, dressed as a famous scientist and mathematician, and recited Pi. In the Pi Recitation Contest, our big winner was 7th grader, Brigid, who set a new St. Peter’s record by reciting 102 digits of Pi! In the Lower School, 5th grader, Hannah recited 82 digits and took the honors. But everyone agrees, best of all, we ate delicious pies! An Epic celebration for an Epic Pi Week!

wine
And, what is Blue now? By Celia Strong
Well, truth be told, sometimes the most fun in doing our weekly lesson is thinking of a title for it. Some wine names, or wine regions, or tidbits about a certain wine are just too good to pass up. Many weeks, a whole multitude of fun titles comes to mind. Then, we hold a “ Title Meeting” in the wine cellar and talk about it. And fun meetings these are. With just the couple of us deciding, we can go all over the place on names and say all kinds of things. All the while knowing nothing we say will ever get printed. Or be heard outside our little circle. But, we do have fun. Obviously, I bring this all up because this week’s title had such a meeting. We think we’re pretty funny. And, thank goodness, the wine is good too. Phew! (It is not called “being funny” when the wine is not good. Then, it’s just time wasted.) Our lesson this week takes us to Portugal. In the past, a couple of years or more past, we have done a Portuguese wine. But, we have new wines from way back whenever that was. And, just because we may have done one in the past, doesn’t mean we can’t do a new one. Or shouldn’t do a new one. That’d be like saying we did a Napa Cabernet one time, so we can’t do another one? I know that’s wrong, so we repeat this week. But with another new wine. Yay! So, in Portugal there is a very old province, called Mihno. Mihno is, or more correctly was, located in the northern part of the country. The northwestern corner of Portugal, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Today, it is the Vihno Verde region which includes the old Mihno area and some surrounding areas also. Mihno was dissolved in 1976. There are records of wine and grape growing in this area that date back to the Romans. In 870 AD, a winery was donated to the Alpendurada convent in Mihno. Over the years following that, many vineyards were planted by religious orders and donated to churches and convents. Seems there were tax breaks that encouraged this. (Interesting
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
idea since we just survived our annual tax day.) From the twelfth century, there are records of their wine being shipped to England, Germany and Flanders (now parts of Belgium and Holland). The first recorded export to England was by John Croft in 1788. When “maize,” corn actually, started to come into Spain and Portugal from the Americas, in the sixteenth century, its growth became more important the grapes. And the vineyards in Vihno Verde were banished to the outside boundaries of their fields. Many of the vines were forced into higher trellises so that they grew way up over people’s heads. Interestingly, their roots still were allowed to use the cornstalks’ soil. If they’d only known what we know now. As of 1908, Vihno Verde was declared as a wine region. And it got DO status in 1984. Today, there are almost ninety thousand acres of vines planted in this region. They grow about fifteen percent of the country’s wine grapes. Which makes it the largest producing region in Portugal. In 1981, there were over seventy thousand Vihno Verde producers. Apparently, they all made a small amount of wine. Today, that number is down to about half as many. The climate in the Vihno Verde region is cool and wet. Even though the original reason for trellising the vines upward into trees and even onto ladders was to let other crops grow in the same fields, being elevated way up above the ground helps keep the grapes drier now. And less prone to rot and mildew. On the negative, too high and the grapes couldn’t always ripen well. And harvesting could be deadly if a picker fell off a trellis or ladder. The list of recommended
“Now we are offering Mobile Banking from your cellphone.”
white varieties for the region are Alvarihno (Albariño), Arinto, Avesso, Azal, Batoca, Loureiro and Trajadura. There is another, longer list of permitted white varieties, none of which we really need to know. At least right now. For red varieties, there is also a recommended list and a permitted list. Again, sorry, but not now. Moving forward, Vihno Verde is not only the name of our region this week, but also the name of our wine. Vihno Verde can come in white and red and rosé. Most of what we see here is the white. This is absolutely a perfect wine for hot weather. Partly because it is light and dry. Partly because it is never very costly. And partly, my favorite, because it has some effervescence in it. All meant to taste best when served very very, very cold. The flavors of any one Vihno Verde depend on exactly which of the grapes from our list are used to make it. And most of them are blends. The two main varieties are Alvarihno which tends to have low yields and can reach alcohol levels of twelve and a half percent. Its’ wines tend to have more minerality. Most of the Alvarihno grapes are grown in the northern part of the region, close to the Spanish border. Where Albariño is so popular. The Loureiro grape has higher yields on its vines, and makes more aromatic and fruity wines. The name “Vihno Verde” literally means “green wine.” But, the “green” refers to its youthfulness when drunk, not its color. (Yeh, yeh, I know. A lot of really young white wines can have slight green nuances in their color.) The effervescence, or the fizziness, of Vihno Verde can occur two ways. In better, slightly more expensive bottles, the fermentation can continue for a little bit after the wine is bottled. The carbon dioxide is trapped in the wine, and in the bottle. In less expensive Vihno Verdes, the wine can get a small shot of carbon dioxide into it before the cork goes into its bottle. We have to realize we are talking only a few dollars difference in the price of these two bottles. Ten dollars to
four dollars? Or close. All this helps explain why we get to try another Vihno Verde. They are not all the same, so we get to keep learning and tasting. Speaking of tasting, time for our wine this week. Blue Vihno Verde. Which circles us back to our “ Title Meeting.” Not knowing why it is called “Blue,” we came up with a multitude of ideas. Not all worth repeating here, things like “blue Christmas,” “blue suede shoes,” “brown eyes blue,” blah blue blah. It did get slightly out of hand - meeting adjourned. Our Blue Vihno Verde is from the Melgaço town in the region. This is a town where especially good Alvarihno grows. Like we said, dry, clean, crisp, pear, apple, lemon notes, herbs and more. All dipped in fizziness. And food pairings? White fish of all sorts, shellfish, boiled, steamed and broiled shrimp, broiled vegetables, pickled shrimp, pickled vegetables, tuna and potato salad, mild cheese and fruit plates, Vietnamese lettuce wraps - chicken or fish, anything with lemongrass. Yum. Lots of yum. So, no need to be blue. We have Blue. For $8.99 green. Enjoy.

Tenacity By Lee Scott
Doing something you enjoy, even when you are not the best is a challenge. We look around and there always seems to be someone else doing it better. I looked at the picture of A’ja Wilson from the University of South Carolina after the Women’s Basketball team lost to Notre Dame and I applaud her tenacity. She was doing something she loves to do. Unfortunately, that day, the other team was better. People lose at sports all the time, but they still go out and try again. The Super Bowl is won by one team. Most people do not remember the name of the team that lost the Super Bowl, but what an accomplishment for just making it there. Actors and Actresses say all the time “It was an honor to be nominated for an Oscar.” Then they go out and try it again. This week I had the opportunity to sing at a funeral. I love to sing and used to join the men at my Rotary Club for our weekly meetings singing songs like, “Take me out to the Ballgame” and
Now what?

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
The people who encourage you to do what you love to do without discouraging you from doing it because you are not the best. That is a real coach! “When Irish Eyes are smiling.” The truth is that I do not sing that well. I suppose there are some songs where I can carry a tune, but my real value to a choir is my enthusiasm and love of the music. Standing there with fifteen other members of our church who took the time of the day to join me as we belted out “Amazing Grace” was spine chilling. No, we were not the Mormon
Choir, but we were good. It seems that we are consumed sometimes with the winners, but the truth is that most of us are not the gold medalist. The parents that go out and coach their children’s soccer games love what they are doing. The

team may lose all the time or their child might not be the best player, but they are out there, week after week volunteering. It is those coaches that the children remember too. The people who encourage you to do what you love to do without discouraging you from doing it because you are not the best. That is a real coach! My Great Aunt Mary said on her dying bed, “I did it while I could”. She had a long life filled with travel, friends and accomplishments. She did not win any awards but she was always up to a challenge and lived her life doing things that she enjoyed, without the accolades. She gave me a card once that said, “Never stop growing and trying.” So it turns out that I am not the greatest singer. But I believe that as long as we are out there trying and enjoying what we do then we are winners. I do not think we have heard the last of A’ja Wilson.

Summer beach reading
for pet lovers
By Dr. Parker T. Barker
Personally, I love to read. Especially at the beach during the summer. There’s the sun and sand and blankets and umbrellas and balls to chase and food to steal, and some great mystery stories to get mom to read to me. I love the Chet and Bernie Mystery Series myself. These are written by Spencer Quinn. Chet is the wise and ohso- smart canine narrator of the series and Bernie is your typical Hollywood typecast not-doing-sowell, slightly alcoholic private eye. They are quick to take a new case (as they both need to eat) and in Dog on It, the first novel in the Chet and Bernie series, they agree to look into the disappearance of a teenage girl who has gotten mixed up with some very unsavory characters. Was she kidnapped or did she run away? It is up to Chet’s keen nose and Bernie’s ex-military experience to figure it out. As a total non-sequitur, Spencer Quinn is also known as Peter Abrahams, a mystery author for both adults and children. He writes both the Echo Falls Mystery Series and The Outlaws of Sherwood Street mysteries for grades 5-8. Abrahams (Quinn) has been nominated and won the Agatha Award for Best Children/ Young Adult mysteries as well as the been nominated and won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Young Adult mysteries. Now Prof. Percy on the other hand likes the Lilian Jackson Braun novels

Dr. Parker T. Barker
Prof. Percy Pussycat
whose titles all start with, “The Cat Who…” You can fill in the blank. There are tons of books in this series and each one is a terrific read. Coco and YumYum (their nicknames) are two Siamese who live with a former big city reporter who happens to have inherited a huge amount of money. The two cats are able to “sense” things before they happen and somehow together they manage to solve all kinds of crimes. They are excellent at making a point by throwing a true catfit that somehow manages to avoid cat-astrophic endings. Pick up either at the Library and enjoy a fun afternoon reading wherever you like to curl up. Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center. He lives on Lady’s Island with his sister, Peanut and their great Mom. Prof. Percy Pussycat is a trained animal behaviourist and received his degree from the Canine and Cat Institute in London. He lives in Shell Point with his brother, Harley and devoted human family.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER & PUMPKIN DOGGIE TREATS Yield: About 2 dozen small treats | Cook Time: 30-40 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oats (or if your dog is on a grain free diet, add an extra 1/4 cup grain free flour), 3 cups whole wheat flour, brown rice flour, or gluten free flour (we recommend Deya’s Gluten Free Flour), 3 tbsp. of all natural peanut butter, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon* (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In small bowl, stir together the flour, oats, and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin and peanut butter until combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry. Pour onto a floured surface and roll dough out to 1/2 thick. Cut out using cookie cutter. The dough will be a little sticky, a dusting of flour for your hands and the rolling pin will help! Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Place on cooling racks and let cool thoroughly. They will harden as they cool. Notes: *Cinnamon is fine to use in recipes for dogs, however do not use a pumpkin spice blend or anything that could contain nutmeg. It is toxic to dogs and even in small amounts can make them sick. Try them and let us know what you think at theislandnews@gmail.com
