The school plans to send the art to her in a few weeks.
Teacher watches former student follow dream By Shana Hirsch
After more than a decade of teaching at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, I — time and time again — have the joy of sharing in student achievements. Every graduation, from my first row seat, I watch as students receive their diplomas and turn their tassels. Seeing their dreams come true is one of my
favorite parts of teaching. Until recently, I would have said that I am only afforded this “front row” opportunity yearly. Just two weeks ago — sans sinfully hot robe, funny-looking cardboard hat and painful shoes — I, once again, found myself front and center watching the dreams of Candice Glover, one of my former students, take flight. Being a part

of the studio audience in Los Angeles for Candice’s rendition of “Don’t Make Me Over” and her history-making performance of “Lovesong” was aweinspiring. The audience’s energy, their cheering, and the minutes-long standing ovation personify what it means to “live your passion.”

Disabilities and special needs consumers working for a living About half of the day program participants at Disabilities and Special Needs (DSN) are now gainfully employed as a result of a cleaning contract between Beaufort County and DSN. Ashley, one of the “consumers” in the program, now making her own money says, “You don’t allow your disability to get in the way of you working and doing a good job.” Jason, another consumer now employed said, “Working keeps you active and your mind going and you earn money which allows you to do things.” These consumers are cleaning several of the Parks and Leisure Service Buildings around Beaufort County. Other consumers have jobs at Goodwill helping fold clothes and organize items. This opportunity not only allows these
adults to earn their own money but it also teaches them responsibility and gives them a sense of accomplishment. Billy Love, Director of the DSN Day program, says, “We appreciate the support we have and continue to receive from County Council. With this contract approved by council, the consumers are doing what they want and what we want for them. I feel with more consumers working, more of the public will give a second thought to stereotypes.” “You feel good about yourself, independent and capable of doing things,” said Kim, a DSN consumer. Catherine summed up her new job perfectly, “Working makes me feel happy,” and another participant James said, “When I work I want to make sure everything is clean and done right.”

Business armed robbery being investigated
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred last week at a Seabrook business. Just after 3:30 p.m. April 18, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the Driftwood Bait Shop (2586 Trask Pkwy) in reference to a robbery occurring moments earlier. Upon
arrival, deputies met with a 54-year old male employee who advised that he’d just been robbed at gunpoint. The victim reported that an unknown black male had entered the store, asking for fishing supplies. As the victim turned around to retrieve the requested item, the suspect brandished a handgun.

The suspect was seen getting into a light gray older model sports car that was waiting outside the store, occupied by a second individual. It was noted that the vehicle’s front metal bumper was dented. The vehicle was last seen heading towards the Dale area.

Open Land Trust park starts on Lady’s Island After much anticipation, the big “demolition day” took place Wednesday, April 17, when the last of the two buildings located at the base of the Woods Memorial Bridge were torn down. The Open Land Trust is excited about finally creating an overlook park. While waiting on permits, some of the local fire departments had the opportunity to “use” the buildings for training purposes. The Open Land Trust was happy to allow them the opportunity to practice their skills in these vacant buildings. The Open Land Trust, in partnership with Beaufort County and the City of Beaufort, purchased the land to reclaim the spectacular vista along Highway 21 and restore the view of Factory Creek for citizens and visitors. Plans are being finalized for the creation of Judith
Haskell Brewer Memorial Park, located on the banks of Factory Creek at the base of the Woods Memorial Bridge on Lady’s Island.
help build an oyster habitat On Friday, April 26, 2 p.m., 50 volunteers are needed to help build an oyster reef habitat on Lady’s Island, over the Woods Bridge just past the boat landing, near the recently knocked-down buildings and soon-to-be park. The project is organized by the Department of Natural Resources and funded by a large grant from the folks at the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, that involves building oyster habitat in and around Beaufort and throughout the ACE Basin. Everything is supplied, just bring bug spray and closed toe, durable shoes. To sign up, call Denise Parsick at 843-263-8866 or Bruce at 843-476-3022.

Wells Fargo became the most recent local business to join a growing list of those who support the collective impact efforts of United Way of the Lowcountry to reduce dropout rates in Beaufort and Jasper County high schools by 50 percent in 2022. “This is a wonderful boost,” Tina Gentry, CEO of United Way of the Lowcountry said of the Wells Fargo gift. “We are gathering businesses, nonprofit partners, governments, institutions and the public around a common agenda to create a collective impact. The challenge of keeping our young people engaged through their on-time graduation from high school requires all of us to work together.” OC Welch Ford Lincoln, Bi-Lo Stores, and the Hilton Head Rotary Club have also made recent grants to fund the innovative effort. United Way provides the backbone support that enables organizations of all types to mobilize
their various areas of expertise around a common goal and achieve success. Susan Bankson, community affairs officer with Wells Fargo, believes in the strategy. “Every child deserves a quality education so we are proud to support the United Way and your commitment to the community,” she told Lowcountry CEO Gentry. “At Wells Fargo, we believe that we’re responsible for being leaders to promote the long-term economic prosperity and quality of life for everyone in our communities. If they prosper, so do we.” The first step in achieving on-time high school graduation is to ensure that students are reading on grade level by the time they enter fourth grade. Research shows that in the first few years of school, children are learning to read; after fourth grade, though, they read to learn. “Without strong reading skills, students are more likely to fall behind, disengage and drop out. Improved
reading skills help students experience success in school. The Wells Fargo grant will be used to support the Early Grade Reading initiative,” Gentry said. The Early Grade Reading initiative puts volunteer tutors in eight area elementary schools to boost the reading skills of students. During the 2012/2013 school year approximately 200 volunteer tutors are helping hundreds of kindergarten through third grade students learn to read so they can later read to learn. “It’s all part of a coordinated effort to tackle today’s problems and reduce tomorrow’s struggles, with an emphasis on improving education, health and financial stability. United Way of the Lowcountry continues to provide support for local families and individuals needing help with basic needs. We will never stop doing that good work,” Gentry said. For more information or to volunteer as a reading tutor, call United Way of the Lowcountry at 843-982-3040.

Seven prom night tips for teen drivers It’s no coincidence that May is National Youth Traffic Safety Month. The month of May not only ushers in the “100 Deadliest Days for Teen Drivers,” but it’s also when many schools celebrate prom. While helping your teen pick out the perfect corsage, make time to discuss safe driving. Here are seven tips to help your teen travel safely on prom night. Prep. Before it’s time to go, be sure your teen’s phone is charged and he’s had one last look in the mirror. You don’t want him taking his focus off the road to straighten his tie. Eliminate distractions. If teens are riding with friends, remind them to put their phones away and turn the music down. There will be plenty of time to talk and have fun later. Restrict passengers. Put a limit on the number of couples riding to the dance with your child. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the risk of fatal accidents increases with each passenger who piles into a teen’s vehicle. Hire a chauffeur. If a group insists on traveling together, talk to other parents about hiring a limo. That way no one gets behind the wheel. If it’s not in the budget, offer to drive them yourselves. Discuss drinking and driving. Talk to your teen about the dangers and

repercussions of drinking and driving. And if you tell your child to contact you in situations involving alcohol, be sure to keep your phone close in case you get a call for help. Avoid drowsy driving. The fatal crash rate per mile driven is significantly higher at night for teens, according to the IIHS. Since many proms last until early morning, offer to pick teens up so they don’t have to drive tired. Brush up on basics. You can’t always be in the car, but you can keep safety topof-mind by enforcing habits like wearing a seat belt and following the speed limit. Find these tips and more at the State Farm Teen Driver Safety website Encourage your teen to make positive choices while driving. Programs such as Celebrate My Drive® powered by State Farm® provide incentives and support for teens as they’re learning to drive.

The twin shadows of depression and insomnia stalled even the possibility of his intellectual stardom. I have another friend who planned to retire and paint children’s furniture, but now that she has reached the correct age, one of her hands shakes uncontrollably. I have a third friend, who for a lifetime, was in possession of a memory that far exceeded the majority. At 82 she is startled to find herself “normal.” She forgets things, what she came for, what she was about to do.
What does my cast of friends have in common? Canadian neurosurgeon, Andres Lozano, points out that were it a few thousand years ago, what they might have in common is having a local shaman drill a hole in their heads to release the demons therein. That’s how manifestations of brain malfunction were handled a few thousand years ago. Since then, modern medicine has had limited success when it comes to break downs in the brain. Especially, if you consider the list of side-effects that go along with the pills, that may, or may not,

“cure what ails ya.” Today, however, I am feeling a renewed and profound sense of optimism for those struck with depression, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s. Dr. Lozano, whose lists of recommendations would complete this article, has pioneered a method of localized deep brain stimulation for people who suffer from mood, movement, or memory disorders. Dr. Lozano reports that the many of the malfunctions of the brain are the responsibility of “rogue neurons misfiring,” or neurons going inactive altogether. To correct such malfunctions, he starts much as the Meso Americans did by cutting a hole in the skull of his patient. He follows this crude, yet standard start, with the insertion of an electrode at a key juncture that will either suppress or activate circuitry within the brain through the use of a remote much like the one you use for your TV (The implanted electrode is additionally connected to a pacemaker). The remote is used to control the amount of electricity that is appropriate, explains Dr. Lozano, much as you might turn up or down the volume on your radio once you find the right station. With Parkinson’s patients the electrode is working to suppress activity in the part of the brain that controls movement. Two patients have had this procedure. The results appear to be immediate and remarkable. This deep brain stimulation is also being

researched as an aid to those who suffer from depression. To wit, when a person is overcome by depression, the area in the brain that controls sadness is in over-drive, and the areas that control motivation, drive, and decision-making, are in low-gear. To correct this malfunction, Dr. Lozano, places an electrode so that it suppresses the locale (area 25) in the brain that controls sadness, which over time, reactivates the parts of the brain that control motivation, drive, and decision-making. Fifty people with early stage Alzheimer’s will soon be tested for re-activation of those areas that control memory and cognition, by this very same method. Isn’t science grand, when it works?

Age 18 all or 21 –your Age of majority (differs by state). Money set aside for you in UTMA/UGMA accounts for minors is now legally yours. Age 25 and 30 – Auto insurance premiums typically decrease, assuming you have a good driving record. Age 26-Dependent status ends. Even if you are a full time student, you cannot be carried as a dependent on your parents’ tax return. Age 50 – A welcome letter from the American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) usually arrives. You may be eligible for senior discounts in restaurants, at department stores, and on travel services. Age 55 – You may be able to access funds from a 401(k) plan if you leave your employer and the plan includes an early retirement provision. This may also be a good time to consider IRA rollovers. Age 59 1/2 – You are past the 10 percent penalty tax on withdrawals from traditional IRAs, annuities, and qualified retirement plans. You may want to leave this money untouched to continue its tax-deferred growth. Age 62 – Earliest age to receive Social Security retirement benefits, but amounts are reduced. Also, you may lose some of your benefits if you continue working and earn income over a certain amount. Age 65 – Traditionally the normal retirement age for full Social Security benefits, however, an increase to age 67 for full benefits is being phased in. Good news: You may work as much as you want without losing any benefits once you reach your full retirement age (age 65 for persons born before 1938; gradually increases to age 67 for those born in 1960 or after). Age 70 – Deferring receipt of Social Security retirement benefits until this age generates the maximum annual benefits. Weigh this option against the opportunity to invest the money if you begin receiving benefits at an early age. Age 70 1/2 – Required Minimum Distributions from traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans must begin. Age 90 – The default distribution option on an annuity contract may automatically activate at this age, so contact the company ahead of time to select a distribution option to best fit your needs. Age 100 – Most cash value life insurance policies endow, meaning benefits are paid as if you had died. If you don’t need the money for long-term care expenses, perhaps it’s time to set up college accounts for great-grandchildren.

ABOUT TEETH Dr. Kat says...we see the benefit of fluoride everyday in the reduction of decay in children, but on the other hand, fluorosis (white spots in the enamel) is becoming much more prevalent in children. The federal government is studying a proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in our drinking water, which should help reduce the amount of fluorosis we are seeing. In the meantime, make sure your child is using the “smear” technique of putting toothpaste on the brush. Smearing a small dab on the brush should be less than the “pea-size” amount previously recommended. Also, you should be monitoring the 2-7 year olds (the most important ages for enamel development of permanent teeth), in making sure they are spitting the toothpaste out rather than ingesting it. A child less than 2 should be using water only or fluoride-free training toothpaste. 6

Water: The best beauty fix ever By Takiya Smith
After about five days of some muchneeded R&R, I am certainly energized and geared up to start my day — as well as my week — fresh and revived. My newfound motivation and swift but duly noted realization comes from my experience over the past week. For starters, my rest and relaxation was not planned but was rather imposed upon me due to a lack of proper hydration mingled with a tad bit of exhaustion. Not a normal part of my daily routine, I must admit, drinking water has always been a bit of a struggle for me. It’s not that I don’t absolutely love its tasteless, colorless and odorless appeal, but that I am so on the go and busy, that I tend to just forget to drink it. So, with that said, and the fact that water has become this girl’s new best friend, let’s take a look at it’s powerful, important and healthy benefits. Our body, skin and hair are composed mostly of water and it serves as the foundational source of life to each of these individually. Drinking water not only quenches our thirst,
Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com.
but replenishes and balances our body’s need to hydrate. Our bodies are composed of well over 70 percent of water alone, and when those levels begin to drop or are ignored, everything from dry hair, brittle nails and dull, lack luster skin, to say the least, are the end results. In the upcoming weeks, as part of a series, I will focus on benefits of some simple enough intake of H2O, regarding hair, nails, skin, diet and exercise. For starters, here’s a quick tip on obtaining shiny, healthier hair: After showering or especially after a shampoo and conditioning, rinse the hair with a cool burst of water. The cool water will seal and smooth the hairs cuticles and will cause the hair to be flatter and shinier.

celebrity spotting: actor gabriel byrne If you thought you saw Irish-born actor Gabriel Byrne walking around Beaufort last week, you were right! Known for his role in the Academy Award winning movie “The Usual Suspects,” Byrne plays therapist Dr. Paul Weston in the HBO series “In Treatment” for which he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He has been listed by People as one of the “Sexiest Men Alive”. Entertainment Weekly has also dubbed Byrne as one of the hottest celebrities over the age of 50. Byrne spent the week staying at The Rhett House Inn which he said he “loved.” He also said that he thought Beaufort was “stupendously beautiful” and “that people are incredibly friendly and warm here.” He went kayaking in the ACE Basin with Kim and David of Beaufort Kayak Tours and loved his dinners at Breakwater and Saltus. He hopes to return to Beaufort very soon.

Margie’s cousin very graciously offered new Buick to us on our wedding day. That morning my best man and I dr his new car downtown to pick up the wedding ring at the jewelers. When reached the jewelers, I asked#my best man to circle the block while I went He stayed away for a long time and finally came walk up the sidewalk. He me he wrecked the car and it had to be towed.

DR. C. ALLEN HENRY
vet doggone passionate for care of furry friends By Anne Christnovich Patients of Dr. C. Allen Henry often lick his fingers to let him know he’s done a good job. And Henry, of Broad Marsh Animal Hospital, wouldn’t have it any other way. His main practice, located at 2511 Boundary Street, is a warm yellow building surrounded by marsh and a brick patio decorated with flowers, an arbor, wind chimes and a handful of dogs up for adoption. The cheery color of the building seems to match the doctor’s disposition. Henry has been a Lowcountry veterinarian for 31 years and has cared for rodents, reptiles, canines, felines, equines and bovines. Henry chose his profession from a combination of growing up on a dairy farm on St. Helena Island and an early childhood experience with the medical world. When Henry was 8 years old, he was severely burned and spent weeks at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, where doctors performed dozens of surgeries. Faint patterns from skin grafts are still visible on his neck. The compassion the doctors showed him inspired Henry to follow in their footsteps. “From that point forward I think I knew I wanted to be in medicine,” he said of the experience. For a while, he couldn’t decide whether he wanted to be a human or animal doctor but ultimately, his ties to dairy farming and the special bond between animals and humans won him over. “On a dairy farm, you’ve already had a lot of exposure to different things, so you go to veterinary school basically to get the book knowledge,” he said. Henry went to the University of Georgia and immediately jumped into his work by inheriting a practice from a vet who retired. “I graduated on a Saturday and I took three emergencies on Sunday,” he said. “Basically I took the practice over the day after I graduated.” Since then, he’s also raised five children, aged 23 to 33 and currently has three rescued dogs, two rescued cats, four horses and 15 Holstein and Jersey cows. Two years ago, he started staffing his clinic 24/7 for emergencies and overnight care, and created his own form of animal insurance last year.

Dr. Allen Henry with one of his feline patients.
At 60 years old, Henry is a tall, broad-shouldered doctor with silver hair and a mustache. He’s big enough to make the image of him holding a 2 lb. Chihuahua comical, but the picture of him hefting a foal from a horse is completely believable. He hasn’t worked with large animals for about 12 years due to injuries from a car accident; now he sticks to small animals. He takes calls all hours of the day for patients in need. During the Tuesday morning interview, Henry sipped a soda for caffeine, as he’d been up most of the night tending to three emergencies. “People sometimes ask how I can work six or seven days a week,” he said, ”but compared to dairy farming, this is not that bad.” In his three decades of practice, Henry has seen 31,000 families, many of whom have multiple pets, caring for some patients from puppyhood to their final days. He also cares for animals without families and sometimes acts as the liaison for adoptions. About a year and a half ago, Henry helped house and place 30 potbelly pigs confiscated by animal control — each one found a home. He also typically has a handful of dogs and cats at his hospital available for adoption. Recently, Henry operated on a Labrador-border collie mix that was shot in the shoulder with a shotgun. Despite the BBs still peppered in his skin, he now happily greets anyone who visits Dr. Henry’s clinic and the doctor hopes to find a forever home for him soon. As one might expect, a vet who takes calls at all hours every day of the year has a deep well of
interesting stories. Once, a woman brought her dog in because it had eaten a non-edible item and couldn’t digest it. While removing that object, Henry found a bracelet, too. The woman, shocked, said she’d lost it five years before. Another time, Henry was called out to St. Helena Island to help a cow that was having trouble giving birth. Henry arrived to find the beast laying out in a salt marsh and, after inspection, found that the calf ’s head and legs were turned the wrong way. The farmer said to Henry, “Doc, we’ve got a problem.” Thinking it was a rather obvious statement to make, Henry said, “I know.” “No, Doc,” the man said, “the tide is coming in.” “We got that calf out, but it was born in about two inches of water,” he said, laughing. Henry said any kind of medicine comes with the burden of dealing with difficult decisions or death, and those moments sometimes weigh him down. “The hardest thing is to know you and your hospital can make that animal whole again, but can’t do it because of money,” he said. “Whenever you’re in medicine, life is life and death is death ... But at least in vet medicine you have the ability to alleviate suffering.” Henry said the sweeter aspects of the job include people’s kindness. Some have donated money to help an owner pay for a procedure and many people have adopted injured animals brought to his hospital. When he graduated veterinary school all those years ago, his father — who at age 87, still farms on St. Helena — told him, “Son, if you attend your cases and do a good job, you’ll be fine,” Henry said. “I’ve never forgotten those words.” “The greatest joy is seeing 20 or 30 patients in a day and almost all of them walk out for the better,” he said. “It’s a good profession and it’s nice to still wake up each morning and like what you get to go to work and do.” Henry recently opened a second clinic at 391 Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena Island.

Discovering Beaufort and finding Newman By Frank Robinson
I met a couple from New Brunswick, Canada, approximately one month ago. They have spoken to me everyday except the days that I do not work. My boss met them and gave them a horse catalogue, as they indicated that they have a horse back home named Willum. Willum is a black Friesian with a long elegant neck and flowing mane. I felt a little envious, but recovered, as I discovered Frank and Janet seemed to like me and were often around. My boss, Peter White, is a good man who gives me at least one day a week off and sometimes two. He personally looks after my feet and keeps me in new shoes, which is very important for my job. He also makes homemade fly spray that won’t affect my health and really helps keep the flies away. I have several co-workers or as they say “partners.” They treat me well and I have nothing but good to say about Mary Ann, Larry, Kristin and my other partners. They give me treats and talk to me encouragingly when my load is heavy and the air is humid. I often see Frank and Janet looking at me when I go to work and when I return after a days work. They are staying at Magnolia Court at Brenda Hood’s place, just next door. I hear them say that it is really nice and that Brenda is a wonderful southern hostess. Speaking about southern,
my company’s name is Southurn Rose — note the small difference in spelling and my picture on the card. Our company was named for Rose, Peter’s wife. Our job is to give guided tours of the history of Beaufort which involves explaining the background of the large homes and churches on the tour. Mary Ann, Larry, Kristin, et al are masters at this. They love their job and have “happy hour” (without cocktails) every evening when we arrive back. They then prepare me for my drive home with my boss Peter. They chat about the day and always compliment me on a job well done. I love this time of day as they give me the remainder of the treats and lots of kind words. I’m sorry I did not mention my name. It is Newman. I am a 9 year old beautiful, gelded Belgian from Ohio who loves the South. My Canadian friend told me how fortunate I am to be employed by Peter. He told me that when he was growing up on a farm he had three horses — Harry, Prince and Tim — who had to work very hard six days a week. He said that he and his brother Austin rode Harry and Prince bareback on Sundays. They did not have days off to graze lazily in the pasture. After hearing this story, I love my boss Peter even more! Canadians Frank and Janet Robinson sent this story after spending a month in Beaufort.
From Beaufort to Boston: Our hearts are with you By Pamela Brownstein
It’s been more than a week since the bombings at the Boston Marathon, and the subsequent shutdown of a major American city and the dramatic chase and capture of the suspect. I, like the rest of the nation, was left watching the events unfold on TV and in the days following, listening to experts and citizens trying to comprehend how this tragedy happened, and, more importantly, why this happened. What motivates an otherwise seemingly well-adjusted college student to assemble a pressure cooker bomb and detonate it in a crowded area with the intent to kill and cause harm to innocent people? I’m afraid I offer no revelations or revealing insights, just a complete lack of understanding of what it’s like to be so angry and callous and detached that injuring and hurting others seems like a solution or viable option. I keep going back to the picture of the 8-year-old boy who was killed and the nightmare that has engulfed his family as the mother and the sister fight for their lives, that will never be the same. It’s so sad and my heart goes out to all

of them, and to all the families reeling from this incident. Also on the news last week was the explosion in the small town of West, Texas, that left more than a dozen dead, more than 200 injured, and many more without homes. That too was awful to watch, and the damage to the town almost unfathomable. I emailed my dad, who lives in Texas, and tried to express my state of mind by asking him, “What’s happening in the world?” My dad is not a person who babbles or minces words, and he always offers realistic, straightforward advice. He replied: “Recent events like Boston and West just go to show that you are never really safe so enjoy what you can. Love, Dad.” During unpredictable times and in the face of craziness, I found this to be soothing and hope it is a reminder to make the best of what you have now.

letterS to the editor Family thanks community for help after accident
To our friends, acquaintances and extended family in Beaufort: Kristy and I want to extend a very heart felt thanks to every one whom helped us through the trying time of our son Seth’s awful accident. Every one in our immediate family were just overcome with gratitude for the caring and support offered from all over the country; this is the internet at it’s best, and special thanks to the Noll family for getting that ball rolling. We are so proud to be part of this community. Seth is at his home now recovering from his injuries and has started his physical therapy. It seems he may not have permanent damage from the accident and we are hopeful for his FULL recovery. There are a couple thoughts we’d like to leave with every one. We believe Seth may have been killed or permanently brain damaged had he not been wearing his bicycle helmet when he was run over. He also did not have access to a proper bike path to commute to his work place. PLEASE, every one: Wear a bike helmet when out riding your bikes and PLEASE support your community’s efforts, wherever you live, to have access to well planned and properly maintained bike paths. Our deepest thanks to everyone’s support. With our love and appreciations. Tim, Kristy, Alison, Seth, Ariel, Mark and Logan Wood, Beaufort
An Earth Day message: Don’t recycle politicians
Generally, I’m an supporter of recycling. All of my newspapers, bottles, cans, and even the pizza boxes go into my curb-side bin. I take bulky items, yard waste, and used oil to the County Center. However, genuine trash should not be recycled and, at the top of that list, I put Mark Sanford. Worst yet, few would claim that Mark was an outstanding member of the House and almost nobody, even Republicans, claims that he was a good governor. Tim Scott said Sanford ‘s behavior pattern revealed a “pattern of poor decision -making and questionable leadership.” Jim DeMint said, “Sanford dropped the Flag.” Current Governor Nikki Haley said Sanford fell “far short of public trust.” SC Republican National Committeeman McCall said Sanford has lost “integrity and credibility.” The passage of time has not erased these judgments; recently Ann Colter said Sanford “never accomplished anything of substance” and “he had a chance and he blew it.”I’ve heard that some Republicans plan to “hold their noses” and vote for Mark Sanford. If they believe that Sanford is indeed smelly trash, then please don’t recycle him — just tell him to take a hike! Fred Seitz, Beaufort

on screen: the met live at uscb ‘giulio cesare’ By Alan Schuster
A preview of Handel’s “Giulio Cesare” by The Met Opera: Live at the USCB Center for the Arts on Saturday, April 27, 12:00 noon. If the Met’s recent production of a stylized “Rigoletto” wandering the dark streets of Las Vegas can win over critics and fans, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that even a 300-year-old baroque opera like Handel’s “Giulio Cesare” can be just as provocative. In this case, Caesar and Cleopatra are time-warped from the declining days of the Roman Empire to the imperialism of late 19th century Britain in what director David McVicar calls a “historical romp.” George Frideric Handel was born in Germany, but interestingly spent most of his creative career living in England and writing Italian operas for his benefactor, London’s Royal Academy of Music. As such, he wrote primarily for the “important” people, not just for those who were often titled, but also for the singers they paid to see and hear. Having never seen this opera performed, and being familiar with only a few of its exceptionally fine moments, I’ve combined some highlights from three recent reviews by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press. Headlines: “Rendered Unto Caesar, Perfectly,” “Hailing Caesar With Seduction,” “Handel in Bollywood
Comes to the Met.” Overall Impressions: “A new Met offering, and a great one ... Like a Christmas pudding, McVicar’s take on Giulio Cesare is so stuffed full of treats and surprises that even if some are not to your taste, you’re likely to enjoy what you find in the next slice ... McVicar cheerfully admits to playing fast and loose with any notions of historical accuracy or consistency. Instead he takes elements of ancient Rome and Egypt and mixes them with British colonialism, the flapper era of the 1920s and dance moves straight out of Indian movie musicals ... a potent mix of wit and pathos ... it’s an audacious blend of serious, comic, romantic and adventurous elements ... a masterpiece The Met is treating with just the right mix of respect and irreverence ... This funny yet poignant staging of Handel’s opera was full of musical and theatrical bliss ... It’s a long opera, four and a half hours, including two intermissions, but the audience rose to their feet to give an exuberant ovation to the excellent cast.” The Performers: Countertenor David Daniels (born in Spartanburg, SC): “Remarkable, singing with his fullbodied sound, emphatic delivery and technical command ... has demonstrated that he is the master of this repertoire ... every phrase hit the mark beautifully, and he made Cesare amusingly pompous as well as heroic ... has tremendous
presence and sings much of his music with eloquence. But at this stage of his career, his middle register s o u n d s overpowered, and rapid coloratura puts a strain on his breath control.” Soprano Natalie Dessay “was astonishing, singing with lyricism, sparkle and some outrageous vocal ornaments, ranging from conniving flirtiness to abject despair ... she is mostly in good voice, tossing off coloratura passagework, and singing with melting richness in the sad ones. Overall, she gives a valiant and endearing performance ... She was at her best in her more melancholy arias, like the haunting “Piangero, la sorte mia,” though even there it was apparent that her top notes no longer come easily.” (An aside: Other Cleopatras have fared much worse on Broadway. In the mid-thirties, New York Post critic John Mason Brown wrote: “Tallulah Bankhead barged down the Nile last night as Cleopatra — and sank.”) Countertenor Christophe Dumaux “steals every scene he is in as the calculating Tolomeo. His voice is bright, clear, precise and as agile physically as he is vocally. In one taunting aria,
he executes a full body flip as easily as tossing off a trill ... Mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon brought a plush, warm voice to Cornelia, and another mezzo, Alice Coote is wonderful as Sextus.” Conductor and Orchestra: “Harry Becket knows better than anyone how to make a modern orchestra understand baroque music ... he draws a lithe, lyrical and stylish performance of this great score ... Every moment was full of life and the orchestra felt like a cushion supporting the singers.” Here’s some good news. The Met’s 2013-14 HD transmissions beginning in October will consist of 10 live performances. Among them will be two Puccini masterpieces, Tosca and La Boheme; Tchaikovsky’s superb Eugene Onegin; and three of the finest comedy operas ever composed — Verdi’s Falstaff, Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte and Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella). In addition, the Center for the Arts is planning to renew its summer Encore series with four gems from previous Met HD presentations. Tentatively being considered are Verdi’s La Traviata and Il Trovatore, Rossini’s Barber of Seville and Bizet’s Carmen. Stay tuned. Tickets: Adults $20; OLLI members $16; Students under 18, $10. All seats are assigned and the box office opens at USCB Center for the Arts one hour prior to the 12:00 noon curtain time, or call 521-4145.

An inspirational evening with ‘The Last American Man’ Eustace Conway, is a man born of 18th Century Enlightenment principles who travels around the country to teach a philosophy of respect for nature, self-reliance and triumph over status quo. Conway, described a modern day Thoreau, is the subject of the book, “The Last American Man,” which was written about Eustace Conway’s horseback trip from the mountains of N.C. to San Diego, Ca., by Elizabeth Gilbert. Gilbert, who penned “Eat, Pray, Love,” wrote “The Last American Man,” and it served as her inspiration for the former and best-selling book. On Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m., Eustace Conway will speak at USCB’s Center for the Arts about his life’s journey, environmental ethics and living by harmony and balance with nature. Conway’s powerful message is relevant to people of all ages and serves as an inspiration for a better society. The event is hosted by John Trask III and presented by Lowcountry Real
Estate, Medical Weight Loss of the Lowcountry, Grayco, Higher Ground, Bay Street Outfitters and Beaufort Kayak Tours. John Trask III met Eustace as a camper at Camp Sequoyah in 1973, and they have remained friends ever since. “It’s difficult to sum up what he is all about. Eustace is more than a naturalist and more than a rugged individualist. Eustace is a man born of the same 18th Century Enlightenment principles embraced by Thomas Jefferson and John Locke. His philosophy may sound altruistic, but it’s possible,” says Trask. The event is free to the public. Donations will be accepted, and proceeds will benefit Turtle Island Preserve, a nature preserve in Boone, N.C. For more information about Turtle Island Preserve, visit www. turtleislandpreserve.com, and to visit a series of articles about Eustace Conway in GQ Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, visit www.wendypollitzer.com.

In quiltmaking, Modern hearts Traditional The Beaufort Modern Quilt Guild invites the public to a reception on Saturday, May 4, from 6-8 p.m. at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center. This party celebrates all quilts: from the work of the Sea Island Quilters of Beaufort, who are having their show May 3 & 4 at the nearby Green Street Gym, to the Guild’s own show, on view at ARTworks through May. For their first exhibition at ARTworks, the Beaufort Modern Quilt Guild invited guild members from Greenville and Charleston too. Paige Alexander, a Greenville quilter, said, “It’s just great that this show is bringing us together from across the state. I started out as a traditional quilter, but with everything out on the internet, I was drawn to the modern. The info on blogs is vast and instant.” Her modern quilt for the Beaufort show is “a little scrappy improv piece called Confetti, with batiks and hand-dyed fabrics. It’s my first modern quilt really.” Brenda Wall is part of the Greenville Modern Quilt Guild too and has been quilting since the 1970s. She said, “The modern themes and styles that you see in blogland have spoken to me, made me stop and pay attention more, I like the no rules part of it, I don’t like to quilt with a pattern, I prefer to do my own thing, and that’s my passion, than ‘have to do

it a certain way.’ That’s what appeals to me, the colors, the open spaces, I like to spend some time quilting in those spaces.” Rhonda Jordan owns Tabby Fabric & Studio in downtown Beaufort, where the guild meets. Her interest in quilts started as a teen: “My mom loved the Smoky Mountains so every couple of years we would go to Asheville or Gatlinburg for a family vacation. One summer, I had somehow managed to save a considerable amount of money for a high school student with a babysitting job. I took it with me so I
could buy the coolest “souvenir” ever. I knew we would be going to shops that had unique handmade jewelry and had dreams of buying a one of a kind bracelet or something like that. Nothing really struck my eye until I saw a wall of handmade quilts! I fell in love with one that had slate blue (of course, it was 1990) eight-point stars on a white background. It was pillowcase bound with hand quilting. I think I spent around $225 for that quilt, all of my own money. It was a fortune for a high school kid. I don’t know why I had to buy that quilt. I put
it in the closet when I got home because I was afraid it would get messed up. The quilt now lives in the linen closet of my adulthood home. It gets taken out almost nightly when my children are cold or when my youngest son wants to sleep on the floor in his big brother’s room. It has been washed and worn but is still holding it’s own.” Kelly Biscopink is in the show at ARTworks too. She’s the co-author of “Modern Designs for Classic Quilts,” and a popular quilt blogger based in Charleston: “I every time I sit down to sew, I feel very connected to everyone who came before me. I learned to quilt from my mother and she learned from her mother. There’s such a long history of quilting. The community of quilters is important to me. It’s thriving and connected to the past, which is wonderful.” Abbey Reed, whose modern 60x60 inch quilt is also at ARTworks, sees quilting as an artistic outlet. “Modern quilts are often random, but I like symmetry, the math part of it all,” she said. “I’m not an artist, I can’t paint or draw, but I love the feel of fabric. I have found my way into the artworld with quilting.” Stop by to meet and see them at 2127 Boundary Street, 29902, www. ArtWorksInBeaufort.org, 843-379-2787.

Will of a Woman: Rebecca Folsom in concert
When Rebecca Folsom sinks her teeth into a song, an emotional intensity emerges that is both deeply stirring and joyously transcendent. Her performances cover the human landscape from humorous, sexy, life challenging and inspirational to heart opening and spiritual. With an equal dose of angel and little devil, she is capable of offering the most tender of ballads then effortlessly engaging a wide-open Rock & Roll cathartic release. She appears to be channeling something a lot larger and wilder than her small frame might first suggest. Folsom believes music is all about sharing the human connection, feeling our joys and sorrows, and always offering a bit of hope. She shines when performing in a spare acoustic setting and then explodes with the blazing intensity of her band: audiences are in for an uplifting, joyous, and truly moving musical ride. She as been writing and performing

The Parish Church of St. Helena invites the community to hear the Rt. Rev Dr. Grant and Dr. Wendy LeMarquand tell the incredible stories of their work in the Horn of Africa. The church will be hosting a coffee and dessert evening on Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m. in the Parish Hall, 507 Newcastle Street, Beaufort. The Rt. Rev Dr. Grant LeMarquand and Dr. Wendy LeMarquand are missionaries of SAMS (Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders). Bishop Grant is area bishop for the Horn of Africa within the Episcopal/ Anglican Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa. They went to Africa 25 years ago as missionaries of the Anglican Church of Canada. He taught dozens of today’s African bishops when they were seminarians and priests. He also supervised the sabbatical studies of Bishop Mouneer Anis, primate of the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East and diocesan bishop of Egypt, who appointed him as his
The LeMarquands
assistant, or “area bishop,” for the Horn of Africa, an area which is comprised of Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Eritrea. The LeMarquands settled in Gambella, the most settled town of this region, near the Sudanese border. He oversees churches and encourages missionary work, while training the new leaders who emerge. The LeMarquands also assist with efforts to provide medical care, clean water, reforestation and micro-enterprise to build a sustainable local economy.

AMIkids Beaufort holds croquet fundraiser With needs ranging from new laundry facilities to a welding room, next month’s AMIkids Beaufort croquet tournament fundraiser brings great need — but also great fun. “This event offers a perfect day for croquet and picnic lunches, and we raise money for a great cause – helping young men earn a second chance,” said John Huntley, chairman of AMIkids Beaufort. “This is our 22nd Annual Croquet Tournament and each year it seems to get better. “We have wonderful hosts at Brays Island and it’s a beautiful setting,” Huntley said. “We appreciate the croquet teams that sign up to play, we appreciate the people who donate to AMIkids Beaufort, and we appreciate everyone who contributes to make this annual event a success.” The residential facility in Dale provides not only education but numerous handson educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification. AMIkids also partners with eight community service projects throughout Beaufort County. Only male teens convicted of non-violent offenses can participate. Students work toward their high school equivalency diplomas. The May 11 golf croquet tournament will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Brays Island off US 17 in Sheldon, about 15 miles west of Beaufort. A “Captain’s Party” for all participants will be held May 10 at the historic Marshlands home
of Brantley Harvey Jr. in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District. Teams of four to eight people are encouraged to enter, and period costumes are one of the hallmarks of the annual tournament. The teams bring a picnic lunch to enjoy, and there is lots of space to set up a team tent with a prize being offered for the best looking tent/ picnic display. “We have a lot of fun with the croquet and it ranges from serious players to people just out for a fun day for a good cause,” said Dr. Mike Harris, coorganizer with Mike Ingram of the AMIkids Beaufort croquet tournament. “This event is more of a picnic than a tournament. A proficiency at croquet is definitely not a requirement for an enjoyable afternoon.” During the croquet day, a silent auction helps raise money for the program, formerly known as Beaufort Marine Institute. Items range from golf outings to catered dinners aboard yachts and in historic mansions, from custom jewelry to vacation getaways. Specialty auction items so far include a champagne evening cruise aboard the sailing vessel Spindrift with dinner for two at Sweetgrass Restaurant on Dataw Island, and a Bosom Buddy Bag Garden Basket — a handmade summer basket made of natural Ata grass, which normally sells for $200. “We are proud that AMIkids Beaufort is a leader in helping these young men
find a fresh start toward a better life,” Huntley said. “Our staff puts in long hours and the young men put in their best effort — and as a result we see great accomplishments.”
For more information, to offer silent auction items or to sign up a croquet team, call Dr. Mike Harris at 843-5241762 or Mike Ingram at 843-846-3149.

Experience the full flavor of Mexico at the new restaurant By Pamela Brownstein

I’m sure we’ve all noticed the changes to the outside of the former Port Royal Pasta Company building on Ribaut Road, and Lunch Bunch was excited to see what changes were in store inside the new Agave Mexican Grill. In addition to chips and yummy salsa, we started with appetizers called sopes. These bowls of corn-based dough are topped with refried beans, lettuce, salsa, queso fresco, a slice of avocado, and a choice of chicken, chorizo, steak and carnitas. We tried one of each and they were really good. Elizabeth ordered a beautiful plate of Arroz con Mariscos — grilled shrimp and scallops topped with nacho cheese and a Clockwise from above: Arroz con mariscos; Sopes appetizers; Cancun Salad; Molcajete; special ranchero sauce, served with rice, and churros with ice cream dessert. lettuce, sour cream and guacamole.

wine
Italy in California? By Celia Strong
This week, we take one more look at Sangiovese, but this time from California. As we’ve learned from many of our wines, in Europe, different grapes and different wines come from different countries and regions. And, for the most part, these grapes for these wines from these regions in these countries are not interchangeable. Legally. We know that their wines laws were developed to protect their wine industries and their customers, and that their laws were based on centuries of traditions and tried and true practices for each and every wine. Chardonnay is not grown in Bordeaux; Tempranillo is a Spanish variety, etc. There are some crossovers, yes, but for the most part there is not a lot of flexibility. And, those who crossed over may have suffered for their transgressions. Look at the loss of status on the original “Super Tuscans” — they were not allowed DOC or DOCG ratings in the beginning, even if their grapes came from that level source. (They were smart, though, and charged prices that they were worth.) By contrast, in California, where we don’t have all those centuries of traditions, winemakers have been able to spread their wings a lot more. Each one of them may have become a winemaker with a feeling for one particular variety, may have bought their first vineyard with that variety’s growing needs in mind, but they were never told not to grow anything. Imagine the windows that they could look through. Not only were they building a new industry in a new country, but they could do it how they wanted. So, here we are with wide open windows and winemakers going through them as fast as they can. Pretty much the epitome of the United States. No wonder we’re so proud of “our” wines. So, back to Sangiovese now. An Italian variety in California. We’ve covered its history in Italy and its prominence in Tuscan wines. But, it was brought to California in the late nineteenth century by Italian immigrants. (You may remember about phylloxera invading most of the vineyards of Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century, forcing many field workers to emigrate to the United States, South America and

It wasn’t until the 1980’s, though, that Sangiovese became important in California, with the success of the Super Tuscans in Italy. In 1991, there were only two hundred acres from Mendocino, Ca. Right: of this variety planted in California. By Left: Miner Family Winery’s Gibson Ranch Sangiovese Ferrari-Carano Siena. 2003, there were over three thousand. The early wines made from this grape is the result. More intense fruit flavors is from its barrel aging sneak in, too. The were not overly successful. Imperfect the end result; instead of the dry, earthy, tannins are moderate, and the lingering locations and poor clones were the main often lighter bodied red wines of Italy, finish is extraordinary. A perfect pairing problems. The Antinori family, that we get fruitier, fuller, more approachable for light meat dishes with tomato based we drank last week, owns Atlas Peak wines.

Ferrari-Carano Siena is our second sunlight of California may have been a Most of its wines, here, are medium wine. This one is a blend, hence the factor, too, in these wines not being like bodied, with classic prune and cherry non-varietal name. But, we can’t ignore those from Italy. Sangiovese can’t be characteristics and pleasant acidity. the Italian name — Siena is a town grown where Cabernet does well, can’t Most American producers use more oak in Tuscany. You may remember Don made like Cabernet and sure shouldn’t aging which helps to smooth out the Carano’s story about being raised by his try to taste like Cabernet.

The blend for the current notes, good structure and a more supple versions of Sangiovese Cal-Itals would vintage is 74 percent Sangiovese with 14 texture. Also, let’s not forget the help be nice.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Be prepared BowWOW!
By Tracie Korol
None of us, realistically, believe our dogs are going to outlive us. We’d like them to age gracefully alongside us and diminish shortly before or shortly after we do. But it doesn’t work that way. Tragedy will arrive in all our lives, some time or other, that’s for certain. On the heels of more unexpected tragedies in the U.S., this might be a good time to prepare and remember our Best Friends when we do. The Humane Society of the United States estimates there are 112 million pet dogs and cats, as well as millions of birds in this country. Some of these pets will outlive their owners and perhaps these pet owners have made informal plans with friends, neighbors or family members. But sometimes those who informally agree to take on the dog, just in case, are unable or unwilling to follow through when the time comes. In order to avoid such circumstances, pet owners need to leave instructions for the care of pets and a short list of guardians of various ages who have been contacted in advance. If possible, people should also leave some funds to cover expenses, especially if the pet in question has health concerns. This might seem reminiscent of aging eccentric heiresses who leave millions to their cats to supply filet mignon in perpetuity. Not quite. But it pays to be prepared. You might designate a trusted friend, family member, or kennel owner who knows your dog, has proper facilities
Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.
(meaning space to keep an animal, a fenced yard, or an actual kennel) and who is willing to keep your dogs together (if you have more than one), should an emergency arise. I am listed as caregiver in five wills in two states: it is a tremendous honor to be asked to care for a beloved pet. This person should have a list of emergency phone numbers, including those of your vet and of nearby family and friends who have access to your home and are well acquainted with your dogs. In your personal business records, include signed and dated instructions designating your wishes for the placement of your dogs in case of your incapacitation, or worse. List the name of each dog and the name, address and phone number of the person who has agreed in writing to adopt or foster that dog for the remainder of its life. Check in with your designated caregiver every year to see if the offer is still good. Update this document at least once and year, and provide a copy to your designated caregiver. Provide the caregiver with written

authorization to obtain medical treatment for your dogs, should it become necessary. Also provide copies of medical history, a list of any health problems that require regular attention, and written feeding instructions (“Barney doesn’t like peas.”). In addition, provide your veterinarian with written authorization to administer treatment in an emergency, and place copies of that document in your Pet File. Include names and numbers of all persons you have authorized to seek treatment for your dogs. Both the vet and caregiver should have written instructions as to how to proceed should the untimely happen to the dog — autopsy, cremation, burial. With the copy and paste feature of most word processing programs, it takes only a few minutes to draft a simple,
cover-all document. Some pet owners make provisions for honorary trusts for their animals that dictate a portion of the principal or income be dedicated to the benefit of the animal. The trust ends when there are no living animals receiving care. The amount of money left for a pet’s care should be reasonable rather than large, so other beneficiaries will not challenge the provision. In an emotionally charged situation (your incapacitation or demise) a relatives’ solution may be to dump the dog at a shelter. Know that most no-kill shelters have waiting lists. It can take up to three months for a place to open through adoption. If you happen to have one of the “dangerous” breeds — pit bulls, German shepherds, rottweilers — planning for his future takes special consideration. Chances are that if your “dangerous” breed is delivered to our not-no-kill shelter, he might not be alive by the weekend. Let me stress the importance of planning if you have a dog with a “special need.” Plan ahead and put your plan in writing. Semper Paratus — always prepared.

Can the latest in cancer care be found right here in the Lowcountry?
When he learned he had prostate cancer, former Marine Bruce Reynolds was shaken. Having cancer was unsettling, but not knowing which treatment to choose made it worse. Then he went to the Duke-affiliated Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center. The team there had answers and crafted a plan that was right for Bruce: targeted radiation rather than drastic surgery. Even better? Everything he needed was a few miles from home.
