Beaufort’s ‘Christmas Tree’ removed from Freedom Park Beaufort city crews removed a diseased and dying cypress tree — the city’s unofficial “Christmas Tree” — from Freedom Park on Bay Street Monday and will replace it next fall with a different species.

“We removed the tree and our next steps will be to treat the soil and prep the area for replanting a new tree later in the year,” said Isiah Smalls, public works director for the City of Beaufort.

“During the interim, we’ll make Freedom Park as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

“It was unfortunate the tree had to

be removed, but based on its condition and eminent demise, we had no choice,” he said.

The Leyland Cypress tree suffered

from Sciridium Canker, one of the worst diseases for Leyland cypress, according to Michael Provencher, a certified arborist with All Care Tree Surgery of Hilton Head.

The canker disease is a fungus that forms on the branches and twigs of the tree, causing foliage above the canker to die.

Affected branches turn yellowish first and later turn brown or reddish brown.

Last winter, city crews applied green paint to the tree to make it look healthier during the winter holidays, knowing they’d be removing the tree this spring, Smalls said.

LIBPA sponsors Clerk of the Court candidate’s forum

The Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association will conduct a forum at its Tuesday, May 8, meeting for Ms. Jerri Ann Roseneau (incumbent) and Mr. Ray Garza, who are candidates in the June 12 Republican Primary for Office of Beaufort County Clerk of the Court.

It should be noted that, since there is not a Democratic candidate for the office, unless there is a petition candidate, the June primary election will in effect determine the next Clerk of the Court. As with all

LIBPA candidate forums, the order of speaking will be alphabetical, each candidate will be allowed 10 minutes to speak on any subject they choose to address with the remaining time devoted to questions and answers.

Following the question and answer period, each candidate will be provided three minutes for a final summary. The following are subjects that may be of interest to LIBPA members during the question and answer period.

• Have adequate checks and balances been implemented in the Clerk of the

Court office to avoid misuse of public funds?

• What is the biggest future challenge to the Clerk of the Court?

• What qualifications should the Clerk of the Court possess?

• What changes would you make in the office of the Clerk of the Court?

The forum will be held on Tuesday, May 8, at the Beaufort County Realtor’s Association Headquarters located in the Palmetto Business Park (behind BB&T) on Lady’s Island Drive and is open to the public.

County offers electronics recycling and document shredding event The Beaufort County Division of Solid Waste and Recycling is holding a special Electronic Goods Collection and Document Shredding event Saturday, May 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at two locations.

Residents are encouraged to bring their broken computers, televisions, and other electronic appliances for disposal. S.C. law enacted last year prohibits dumping appliances in the landfill or at County convenience centers. Secure shredding of personal

and tax documents will also be provided at no charge at the event.

Two county public works sites will accept the items: the Public Works North site at 140 Shanklin Road site near the Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort, and the Public Works South site at 9 Benton Field Road off Burnt Church Road, Bluffton.

Acceptable electronic items include computers, printers, scanners, power supplies, monitors, UPS, hard drives, servers, laptops, cables,

wires, surge protectors, switch boxes, sound equipment, tape drives, power supplies, calculators, copy machines, VCRs, DVD players, electric motors, cash registers, overhead projectors, transformers, test equipment, telephones, cell phones and other goods.

I was just leaving ...

By Jack Sparcino

Gosh, one gets all sorts of advice growing up and as an adult, and thankfully most of it is usually sound or at least well intended.

One of my favorite pieces of wisdom is the deceptively simple, “timing is everything.”

And while it is unassailably true when it comes to things like timing a major league fastball or getting a good place in line for an unbeatable sale, good timing can take a person pretty far in life. Add some old fashioned hard work, and the sky’s the limit.

I thought I knew the virtues of proper timing, but two events in my life make me wonder how well we always stick to the straight and narrow. Here are two true stories that illustrate both sides of the same coin, for worse or for better.

Starting with worst. Early in my United Technologies career, working at Sikorsky Aircraft’s main facility in Stratford, Connecticut, one winter morning, a snow storm quickly developed and threatened to make the roads treacherous. Noses to the grindstone, we were told to clear out early and go home while it was still safe. Still a young guy and immersed in something that seemed crucial at the time — plus really wanting to clean up some odds and ends — I kept working for two hours.

One big sigh and a mental pat on the back later, I headed to my car and drove off down Route 8 toward Bridgeport on my

He is retired from United Technologies Corporation and now lives with his wife, Jane and their two dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.

way to beautiful Rowayton, some 20 miles away.

Right away it didn’t look good. Snow swirled thick as shag carpet on the road, visibility deteriorated and the traffic continued to build. Maintaining control of my hefty rear wheel drive Oldsmobile was becoming a challenge. Then “out of nowhere” a car appeared in my lane, at a full stop and facing me. I skidded around it, bumped another car, and pulled off the road. Heart starting to race, I looked for the other driver. “Out of nowhere” again came a subcompact car, slamming into the side of my car.

Big crash. Stunned me. Couldn’t open my crushed door so I crawled out the passenger side and realized that the next driver to similarly lose control was likely to be driving a larger vehicle and was going to take me out like a bowler looking to pick up a spare by knocking off the 10 pin.

Things got a little blurry from there but after exchanging insurance information with the driver, I headed to an auto body shop, then got a ride home. When Jane drove me up to the shop and saw the totaled car the next day, she wondered

Ignore generIc FInancIal advIce (except thIs artIcle) It is dangerous to mix investing with entertainment. The classic example is thinking that a TV or radio personality can provide general financial information and you act on it without first taking the time to figure out if it applies to your particular situation.

for information, and even providing general rules of thumb, you are the only one who can figure out how it applies to your life.

The reason is simple: planning for your financial future is personal. It has to be. A good plan will be unique to your situation, and what is right for your situation may be a disaster for your neighbor. So read as much as you want, but then make sure you spend the time to figure out how it applies to you before you make important decisions about your life savings.

That is where we can help. Lets meet so you can get a second opinion.

how I got out alive. “I wondered that, too,” I muttered. And to think how hard I had tried to finish up at work before heading home the day before. Gee, I thought, I was just leaving ... for TWO HOURS! Fast forward 25 years to the Hunting Island pier. March 19, 2012. Gorgeous weather and scenery, lots of whiting around and plenty in the pail, time to go home. Started to pack up. Yeah, I was JUST LEAVING when one of my rods — the brand new Ugly Stick, badly in need of a good breaking in — jerked. I pulled back against whatever was down there and realized I had something big on this time. Out buzzed the line as the rod bent over to the task at hand. I checked my watch, 3:15. Recalled the line strength — only 15 pounds, then calmly proceeded to adjust the drag. And off we went!

Well, the fish took me from mid pier all the way to the far end and peeled off every last inch of my line. As I stared at the knot at the base of the reel, I figured this tussle was over and just stood there waiting for the final break. But it didn’t come, so I walked back 10-15 feet from the rail, then recovered a few feet of line as I walked back to the rail. Repeated the process another

dozen or so times.

Two old salts nearby — one visiting from Tennessee, the other from upstate N.Y. — offered to help get the now visible cow nosed Jack ray up to where we Sparacino could release it. Using heavy gloves, they hand lined the ray up from the water line where it was eagerly flapping its wings to where we could unhook it before releasing it unharmed.

Which we did.

Checked my watch again ... 4:00. Whew, that was fun! The ray was four feet across if it was an inch and weighed over 20 pounds. A picture would have been nice, though there was no way to get a clear shot between my two new buddies and the rail.

But it’s in my mind.

So there you have it. I was just leaving when I hooked the most exciting fish of the young season. Makes you think about all the times in your life when but for a few seconds, a few minutes, maybe even an hour or two, things can take a pretty wild turn, for better or worse. Maybe just barely meet your future mate at a big gathering, or catch a home run ball, get hit by a car or by lightning but survive, or arrive at the hospital just in time to see your first child born.

I was just leaving. Just ... leaving. Just ...

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.

Jonah and his whale: Part III

By Danette Vernon

Once upon a time in the far-flung past, my vocation was teaching teens pre-employment skills: how to shake hands and look people in the eye (all at the same time), how to fill out a resume, etc. Three of the young men in the class tended to nip out as early as possible in order to hang out, or maybe smoke a little pot.

Five years later, I walk into a cell phone establishment, and a welcoming voice sounds across the room. It is one of the three young men. He hugs me and firmly points out that the job he has now — and his wonderful family — are all due to those few awkward classes.

Last week I had someone tell me that the time we had spent together at Therapeutic Solutions had caused them to “rewrite” their life story. They had taken a pronounced memory — which had for decades ploughed through them, year after year, with anger and hurt — and rewritten its story. What had seemed a wound was now viewed as life’s inspiration, as it was always meant to be.

Wounds, we all have one, or some.

We may feel that things didn’t work out as planned, or that our lives themselves didn’t work out; we did something, or someone did something to us, we tell ourselves. But how did the two people noted above happen to arrive at the magic of a rewritten past, or conversely grow the ability to “write in” a new future?

I can’t speak for them, but I would hazard a guess that they were finally open to the realization, remarked upon

You plan your life, and then something else happens ... The something else is the blessing, not the curse.

If only you can see it that way. by philosopher Wayne Dyer, “that the not working out, is a part of things working out.” He meant that we don’t have to wait, as Mitch Albom purports, to meet our “five people in heaven” who are lingering there to tell us the meaning of our life, because we can find it for ourselves. We have only to look back over our lives, and truly see what we see.

For me, my mother was mentally ill, and my father left early on. Wipe away only those two things from my childhood and the gain of being able to feel comfortable with people who are

struggling may no longer exist within me. In addition, my ability to find the good in those whom others have long since lost hope in, may be gone. Wipe away my childhood, and much good goes with it.

You plan your life, and then something else happens. To wit, Jonah in the Bible had promised a city a bit of “hellfire from heaven” if they didn’t change, and then something else happened, and that is how life goes; the “something else” is the blessing, not the curse. If only you can see it that way.

How safe are those dental X-rays?

By Dr. Gene Grace

This is a response to the most recent dental X-ray “study” on Fox News last week.

I happened to be watching the news when two of Fox’s analyst physicians were discussing a new study of how dental X-rays could attribute to an increased risk of a benign brain tumor, menangioma. Medical studies, in order to be valid, must be conducted under the strictest controls.

There were a number of things which even the Fox physicians thought were amiss. For one, of the 2,800 people interviewed, much was depended upon their memories of what X-rays and how many were taken from years before.

What made no sense is that a pair of bitewing (two) X-rays showed a greater risk than a panorex or full mouth series (13 or more). That alone should send up red flags. To put the whole study in perspective, the results would mean an increase of lifetime risk of menangioma from 15 out of 10,000 people to 22 out of 10,000 people.

Let me comment about X-rays.

Radiation is measured in millirems. To fly from the East to the West Coast,

one would receive 4 millirems of background radiation. It’s all around us.

A dental digital (1/10 of older dental X-rays with film) X-ray emits .05 millirems. Thus, one transcontinental air flight is the equivalent of 80 digital X-rays.

Here are some comparative exposures: A mammography breast examination would be in the high dose group with 1,000 millirems. An abdomen, pelvis, skull or hip X-ray would be in the medium dose group.

Most dental X-rays, such as dental full mouth series with digital or dental bitewing with digital, would be considered in the low dose group with less than 1 millirem.

When you weigh these facts against the consequences of tooth decay (i.e. root canals), periodontal problems, even oral cancer that can go undetected without dental X-rays, it’s obvious that having low dose dental (particularly digital) X-rays are safe and effective.

Cycling Classic returns to Beaufort a viewers’ guide to tuesday’s crit race

By Marie McAden

Break out the cowbells! The Beaufort Memorial Cycling Classic returns to the Lowcountry May 1, bringing the best criterium cyclists in the world to town for another hair-raising battle through the streets of the Historic District.

The race — one of seven competitions in the USA Crits Speed Week series — will feature 118 men and 70 women vying for a slice of a $15,000 purse.

Riding at average speeds of 25 to 30 mph, the cyclists will race around a .6mile course that starts on Bay Street and loops around Scott, Raven and Newcastle streets.

It’s free to watch the race, one of the few professional sporting events offered to the public at no charge.

Criterium, or crit, racing doesn’t get the hype of long-distance cycling events like the Tour de France, but it’s much more exciting for onlookers to follow.

Rather than see the cyclists speed by once, spectators can watch them pass dozens of time. In ® the Cycling Classic, the women will make 50 laps, the men 75.

“It’s a blast,” said event organizer Don “DG” Veitch. “Because the course is short and compact, you can walk the whole route and watch the riders blaze down the straightaways and maneuver into the tight turns.”

Announcers will provide play-byplay commentary on all the action and analyze the strategies the cyclists use to get ahead of the pack. Competing as teams, the riders plan moves to get their strongest member in the best position for the final sprint across the finish line.

“In racing, it’s all about aerodynamics,” Veitch explained. “You can’t stay in front for a very long time.”

During the course of the race, team members may be assigned to sit-in and conserve their strength. Drafting, or riding behind another cyclist in their

slipstream, can save up to 30 percent of a rider’s energy.

To keep the race at a high speed, cyclists compete for prime (pronounced “preem”) laps, in which the fastest rider on a particular lap wins a prize. The primes serve to ensure racers do not ride slow to save themselves for the final laps.

It also sorts out the different types of racers in the group: those who compete solely to win prime laps, those who will race for the overall win and the “helper” riders assigned to aid a teammate in pursuit of the win.

Whatever the rider’s mission, the criterium will test his or her ability to handle a bike in tight and often dangerous situations. With fellow riders in close proximity on all sides, cornering is vital, as is jockeying for strategic positioning in the group throughout the race. Cyclists must be at the peak of physical fitness to be able to go on the

attack as well as chase when other riders attack.

A team’s strategy may include blocking or disrupting the race by soft pedaling in an organized chase. It can work to tire the field of riders more quickly. Once the group realizes they have slowed, they will have to work harder to regain the front group.

Another popular tactic is the breakaway, where one or more riders splits from the main pack. Watch for teammates in the chase to see if they are just blocking or working to catch up.

The most strategic part of the race occurs in the closing laps, often after a breakaway. The seemingly unorganized pack of 100 riders will swarm into an organized group of teams with each team looking to get their best sprinter to the finish line first by clearing the way and providing a draft for the rider.

The team that can get four or five riders to the front to keep the speed high and protect their designated sprinter will ultimately win the race.

“People line the course, ringing cowbells, cheering and whistling as the riders go by,” DeVito said. “It really helps to keep the cyclists’ energy level up.

51 4/04NISSAN LEAF TO LEAD THE PACK

The 190 athletes competing in the 6th annunal Beaufort Memorial Cycling Classic don’t have to worry about breathing in gas fumes from this year’s pace car. That’s because it’s 100 percent electric.

A Nissan LEAF, which will lead the way for 125 laps through downtown Beaufort, produces no emissions or engine noise like standard gaspowered cars. In fact, it doesn’t even have a tailpipe.

“It’s eco-friendly,” said Whit Gilman, general manager of Hilton Head Nissan, the dealership sponsoring the pace car. “It doesn’t use gas like hybrids, so there’s no exhaust. It’s the perfect car to use for a bicycle race.”

The pace car will stay in front of the pack throughout the race as a safety precaution to ensure the roads are clear for the cyclists. While the average speed of the competitors is 25 to 30 mph, the sprinters in the group can accelerate to 40 mph.

That’s no problem for this compact.

The LEAF can do 80 mph with its 110 hp synchronous electric motor. And it has a 100mile range on a full charge.

Do I need insurance for rental cars?

When renting a car, you will be asked if you want to purchase insurance coverage.

The rental agent will normally offer you different levels of insurance coverage, including a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) or Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), which covers the rental vehicle in the event of accidental damage and theft. Many drivers become confused at this point, wondering if they need this insurance.

Here are some guidelines to help you decide: You have a personal auto policy What to look for: Read your policies carefully or call your insurance agent to ask for details of coverage. Many auto policies cover rentals with the same type and amount of coverage on your personal vehicle. Also ask about coverage for any

administrative fees you may be responsible for, such as loss of use (rental income not earned on a car while it is in the repair shop).

When to consider additional coverage: If your policy does not cover rentals, has a high deductible, or does not include collision coverage or sufficient comprehensive coverage, you may wish to purchase additional coverage from the rental company. Also, insurance is invaluable in foreign countries where you may be responsible for paying for the damage in full before you leave the country.

Your credit card offers rental car insurance What to look for: Carefully read the documentation that came with your specific credit card and understand the

extent of the coverage it provides.

When to consider additional coverage: Depending on the level of coverage your credit card provides, you might consider adding coverage from the renting agency.

You are traveling on business What to look for: Your employer may provide corporate insurance for rented vehicles.

When to consider additional coverage: Be sure to know the applicable corporate policies and procedures before you rent a car for business.

You do not own a car What to look for: If you do not own a car and therefore do not carry auto insurance, you will need to purchase insurance from the rental agency.

When to consider additional coverage:

Take your time at the rental counter to consider the coverage packages being offered. You may not need the most expensive plan being offered.

You are renting a car in a foreign country What to look for: Check your auto insurance policy for possible exclusions or limitations on renting a car abroad. Also check for coverage that may be offered by your credit card company or auto club.

When to consider additional coverage: If you are not sufficiently covered, you may wish to purchase third-party travel insurance to cover your foreign rental, or the Loss Damage Waiver from the agency. You will still be liable for any costs resulting from vehicle damage that are not covered by the waiver.

Here come the grooms!

By Lanier Laney

Twenty-five Beaufortonians traveled to New York City to join 45 others from NYC and LA for my nuptials with Terry Sweeney this past weekend. We were blessed with a glorious warm and sunny spring day after weeks of grey rain in Manhattan. The wedding and reception happened at the beautiful New York apartment and roof garden of Marianne and Steve Harrison. Judge Ned Tupper, who performed the ceremony, wrote some very touching vows that several people requested afterwards. Mike Rainey was Best Man and Laura Trask, Maid of Honor.

Twelve of our gal pals back in Beaufort pitched in and got us a honeymoon suite at the swanky Surrey Hotel. My heartfelt thanks to everyone in Beaufort for all your tremendous kindness to us! It was a miracle and we felt everyone’s love! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! XO

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

jonathan hannah

website designer extraordinaire

By Lanier Laney

I

’ve worked with computer people in California and New York and they all made me feel like a dummy, and they cost a fortune. I was super pleasantly surprised when I got to Beaufort and Jonathan Hannah did some work for me. He was clear, never made me feel stupid and was very affordable. He’s a web designer who has recently done wonderful sites for local businesses like Lime Lite Salon and Greenbug.

Here’s what he does in his own words: “I’m a graphic artist who specializes in building websites and marketing them.

So I’m kind of a one stop shop. I create custom websites for each of my clients.

I don’t use templates so each creation is unique to my client. I then create all the art, logos (if needed), videos, animations etc. for the site. Then I build the site, but I’m different from a lot of other programmers because I’m very concerned with your site’s SEO (search engine optimization).

So H1 tags, keyword density, meta descriptions, spider files etc... also get included in the build. Because I’m a one stop shop, I even end up doing everything including business cards, brochures and marketing plans for my clients as well. I also have excess to some of the best copy writers in the business if my clients need there expertise as well.”

Jonathan’s route to his current occupation was circuitous. Says

Jonathan, “I started drawing at a very early age and was planning to go to Rhode Island School of Design, But to make a long story short, I entered college studying theology. By the first year I became so frustrated with not creating, I switched my major to music and ended up with a degree in music composition and theory. I started creating a lot of music with and on the computer. The next thing I knew I had Photoshop, Illustrator, Studio Max and I was doing art again and never looked back.”

When working with clients, Jonathan’s philosophy is simple: “For me it’s all about the relationship. The more I learn about you, the better I can help you with your needs and goals.”

Jonathan also has some interesting hobbies. “I’ve studied various martial

arts for over 30 years and I hold a fourth degree black belt in Seido Karate. Over the past 12 years I studied Tibetan Thangka Painting and I have just started producing large modern prints of some of my work; one can be seen on my website. For a hobby, I still produce music, which is more like meditative sound-scapes than it is music.”

What does Jonathan like about Beaufort? “The people, the water, the town and the lifestyle. I grew up in a 300 year old farmhouse in Connecticut and I’ve lived in Chicago and New York City.

Here I get the best of both worlds with much nicer people.”

‘80th Reunion’ a comedy will be at ARTworks

“80th Reunion: A comedy by Jim Herring — A Staged Reading” will be in the black box theater at ARTworks. “80th Reunion” is a parody of retirement living and the medical profession. The playwright, Jim Herring, is a retired resident of Beaufort, and describes the play as “goofy and risque. It brings together all storts of things that wouldn’t usually be put together— the definition of humor is the juxtaposition of things that don’t belong together. There are scenes in a medical university, a love story because you need to break up humor a little bit, a bit of foolishness about activity buses.” And much more. The Summerville Players, from right up the road in Summerville, are coming to Beaufort to perform this piece.

One night only! Sunday, May 6 at 3 p.m. All seats are $12. For more information, contact http://www.ArtWorksInBeaufort.org, 379-2787, and in person at 2127 Boundary Street, in Beaufort Town Center.

Japanese cuisine at its finest at

FUJI TEPPANYAKI

By Pamela Brownstein

Lunch Bunch was loving the selections at Fuji Teppanyaki restaurant on Lady’s Island.

Elizabeth and I both ordered the gyoza appetizers, the steamed Japanese-style dumplings are my favorites.

Elizabeth also had a bowl of tasty, and healthy, edamame (although she added extra salt!)

April also went with healthy options with a classic California roll and also CCCC — cucumber, crab and cream cheese roll. She liked it so much, April said, “Sushi is the bomb.” Kim went light also with the tuna tataki with spicy tuna sauce, which is so delicious.

Nikki tried the lunch special shrimp bowl made with shrimp sauteed with soy sauce and lemon and served with Fuji’s own shrimp sauce and dressed with onions and zucchini. There are also chicken bowls, beef bowls and vegetable bowls featured on the special lunch menu.

Buck and I both had combination meals with steak and scallops. You can choose any combination of

shrimp, chicken, steak or scallops. It comes with rice — either white, brown or fried — and a side of awesome veggies, as well as a cup of miso soup.

My husband and I order take out from Fuji all the time because the food is always spectacular. I always get the steak and scallops and the steak is cooked perfectly

and the seafood is fresh and tender, and their dipping sauces are heavenly.

Fuji is open for lunch and dinner and is located at 97 Sea Island Parkway, Hamilton Village, Suite 202, Lady’s Island. For take out and more information, call 843-524-2662 or online at www.fujibeaufort.com.

Off we go to Italy again this week. But this time for a red wine. This wine has been around for a while.

We’ve had it on the shelves for at least five years. Of course what’s on the shelf now is the newest vintage, but, except for this vintage, it’s been there for a while.

The problem is, if you want to see it as a problem, that with all the new wines that are coming in all the time, it gets very easy to forget about the old standards. Our job this week is to revisit one of those standards.

It comes from northwestern Italy, the region of Piedmont. Or, if you’re speaking Italian, Piedmonte.

There are a wide range of wines that come from Piedmont. A couple of weeks ago we talked about one town there, Asti, and the Moscato wines from there.

Other white grapes include Cortese that makes Gavi wines and Arneis. For red varieties, Nebbiolo (of Barolo and Bararesco fame) and Dolcetto are the two best known. A third red variety, Barbera, is what we’re going to look at and drink this week.

Like most of Italy, the Romans cultivated the vineyards of Piedmont. Because of this region’s closeness to France, its wines have been influenced by that country, in particular the French region of Burgundy. Even today that influence is evident in the non-blending style of most Piedmont wines. The first literary mention of Piedmont wines comes from the 14th century from an Italian agricultural writer. He noted among other details how the vines in Piedmont were trellised closer to the ground rather than being allowed to grow up into the trees. In the 17th century, the Duke of Savoy earned broad renown for his pale red wine, Chiaretto, made entirely from Nebbiolo.

During the unification of the Italian papal provinces, Piedmontese winemakers and land owners played pivotal roles. The first Prime Minister of the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, Camillo Benso, introduced many French viticultural techniques to the region.

One of the sparks that ignited the Italian revolt against Austria was the Austrian government’s double tariff on Piedmont wines sent into Austrian controlled parts of Italy - Lombardy, Emilia and the Veneto. This had a crippling effect on the Piedmontese wine industry because it basically cut their wines off from their main markets. In 1846, King Charles Albert of Sardinia spoke to the Piedmontese winegrowers’ association.

He assailed the Austrian oppression and, by 1848, Piedmont was at war with Austria. This war helped to further move the Italian peninsula toward unification

and $Charles Emmanuel was the $997 1.75lt 897 unified country’s first$16.99 ruler. In the 1850’s, a famous Italian patriot, the 1 3 2 S e a Giuseppe I s l a n d P a r Garibaldi, k w a y . 5 2 2 -introduced 3700 Bordeaux grape mixture into Piedmont to help fight oidium, a vineyard mold that was infecting Piedmont vines.

Geographically, Piedmont is in the foothills of the Alps. Because of hills in most of the region, only about thirty percent of the land is suitable for vineyards.

Although the vineyards in Piedmont are at about the same latitude as those of Bordeaux, there are several climate differences. The valleys in Piedmont tend to have a lot of fog. (The Piedmont word for fog is “nebbia” which gave their red grape variety its name.)

The vineyards are generally planted between 450 feet and 1150 feet elevation. The weather is colder than Bordeaux with less rainfall as well. The warmer, southfacing slopes are used mainly for Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes while the cooler slopes are used for Dolcetto and Moscato.

The Piedmont region makes more DOCG (the very top level of Italian wines) by volume than any other of the twenty Italian wine regions. Eighty-four percent of the production of Piedmontese wines are categorized as DOCG. Interestingly, there are no IGT wines in the region. (This is a lower level.) Barbera is the most widely planted red variety in the region, but Nebbiolo and Dolcetto are not far behind. Moscato is the most widely planted white grape.

So, let’s look at this Barbera. Not only is it the most widely planted red in Piedmont, it is the third most planted red variety in the whole country. It has a good yield level, meaning it has a good number of grapes coming off each vine, and its wines are known for their deep color, low tannins and high levels of acidity.

The amount of acidity in Barbera is rare for a warm weather red grape. There are some hundred year old Barbera vines in Piedmont vineyards that make robust wines with intense fruit flavors and enhanced tannin levels so that the wines can be aged well for a decade 750 ML

or more. Three cities have their names attached to the DOCs for Barbera wines — Barbera d’Asti, Barbera del Monferrato and Barbera d’Alba. Monferrato, located in central Piedmont, is where Barbera is though to have originated. (Please note, that Barbera d’Asti is a DOCG wine.). The wines from Asti are the best known of the Barbera wines. They tend to be the lightest in style with intense aromas and flavors of red cherries and raspberries. These wines also show the grape’s natural acidity and can be drunk slightly chilled to keep it refreshing. With more ripe grapes, the flavors move to black fruits — blackberries and black cherries. Many producers use toasted oak barrels for some aging of the wines. This helps to increase the complexities and aging potential of the wines and adds vanilla notes as well. In addition, wine makers have found that better wines come from slightly decreasing the vines’ yields. (The Burgundy region of France has for a long time controlled their yields to augment flavors.) The Barberas from Alba are fuller in body, richer flavored, and can have a distinct earthy quality that makes them very food friendly. And, those from Monferrato, while often considered some of the best, are less available here.

A nice tidbit of Barbera history occurred in 1985.

The Piedmont region was scandalized when Barbera producers were accused of illegally, duh?, of adding methanol to their wines. Over thirty people died and many more lost their sight from drinking these wines.

All the bad press and publicity caused the Barbera to drop to third place in Italian red grapes grown, behind Sangiovese as number one and Montepulciano as number two. I hope our current vintages of Barbera wines are newer than the effected vintage!

Our wine this week is Ca’ del Sarto Barbera d’Alba.

Personally, I have always liked Alba Barberas best.

“Ca’” in Italian is the abbreviation for “castello” or “castle” so it’s like saying “chateau” whatever with French wines. And, lucky us, this wine is made exclusively for restaurants and wine shops. Only 1,200 cases come into the United States each year. This wine, made from 100% Barbera, is full of very rich berry flavors with soft tannins. It is aged in oak barrels for ten months which helps to refine its flavors and textures. It’s a perfect match for grilled dinners - seafood, poultry and meats. But it goes well with pasta and pizza too. Once you try it, for just $10.99, you’ll be a new Barbera fan!

Even though it’s not really a new wine. Just new for us now. Enjoy!

Earth Day: It’s a Coosa tradition

By Tess Malijenovsky

Last Friday, April 20, fourth grade students at Coosa Elementary left their roots by planting yellow Lantana and blue Agapanthus donated by Team Depot, The Home Depot’s community service team.

Creating an Earth Day tradition at Coosa Elementary, school counselor Nicole Bossak collaborated with The Home Depot for a second year. Team Depot volunteers, William and Wandra, came to Coosa around 8 a.m. with a bounty of donated flowering perennial plants. The team pre-dug holes for the students around the Crape Myrtle that last year’s fourth graders planted before they graduated.

Students were excited to come outdoors early that morning and

learn about planting with William and Wandra. They formed groups of

four, each student with a different role, putting into the soil a flower that they

will see each year that they come back to visit Coosa.

Through The Home Depot Foundation and its ongoing partnerships with nonprofit organizations, Team Depot donates countless hours, tools and supplies each year to community service projects. For their last project, Team Depot paired with Habitat for Humanity to build a wheelchair ramp for a paraplegic citizen.

ARTS &

Hailed as a contemporary novel in the style of Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” Joe Lansdale’s new novel, “Edge of Dark Water,” offers a twisting tale not to be missed.

Four teenagers star in this gothic mystery of murder, money, and adventure. May Lynn’s dream of becoming a Hollywood celebrity is dramatically cut short when her dead teenage body is dredged up from the snake infested waters of the Sabine River. In the shadow of her death, May Lynn’s friends Sue Ellen, Terry, and Jinx decide to take action. In an effort to make at least part of May Lynn’s dream come true, the band of strong willed youngsters hatch a plan to steal a raft and head downriver to catch a bus to Hollywood where they hoped to spread May Lynn’s ashes. Only problem is, they need a raft and funding for their river adventure. A clue leads them to a load of stolen cash enabling them to set off on an adventure of a lifetime.

Beaufort Branch Library manager Fran Hays says “pick this one for a dark and engaging journey not easily forgotten”.

arts THE INDIE FILM CORNER: ‘BRAKE’ “Brake” from The Indie Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts, Monday, April 30, at 7 p.m.

Synopsis: Secret Service Agent Jeremy Reins is about to have a very bad day. He wakes up trapped in the dark, cramped trunk of a moving car with no recollection of how or why he’s there. The only light comes from the blood-red digital numbers ticking away above his head that signify one thing ... he’s running out of time. As the captors reveal themselves and their motives, Jeremy realizes he is a pawn in their potentially catastrophic plot. He will

not be set free until he gives up information about the president. No drinking in Columbian bars with “ladies of the night” for this agent.

Ratings and Reviews: This Indie film is so new that the two leading film web sites do not yet have a consensus. IMDb ratings are 5.9 and Rotten Tomatoes critics’ ratings are struggling to make it from green to red, but a positive audience of 57. Satisfactory marks.

Previewer Comments: The star of this Indie loves the quirkiness that only Indies can mount. Jeremy is played by Stephen Dorff who lives for challenging

and transforming roles that only come in Indie films. So far he has acted in over 68 Indies! He was likely drawn like a moth to a light for this one because it is the closest thing to a one man film you will ever get in the cinema. He has the “stage” alone for 90% of the film.

More than anything else, this film is worthwhile to experience due to his tour de force. The plot may be questionable, the endings implausible, but it’s his acting that counts.

Rated: Not rated, but likely to be R for fear, threats and a little actual violence. This is a scary action film and

is more likely to be enjoyed by those movie fans who love this genre. It is full of fear, heart racing adrenaline pumping stuff, guaranteed to exhaust you, but safer than jumping out of an airplane.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office @ 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance.

Dennis Tavernetti is a resident of St. Helena Island and retired to the low country having a lifelong interest in the arts. He encouraged USCB’s Center for the Arts to investigate the possibility of utilizing new technology to bring Indie, World and Documentary HD films to Beaufort.

Who is Joe Gazdak and the Len Miret Memorial Scholarship Fund?

Winning not one, but two, Island News 2012 Favorite Awards, the Len Miret Memorial Scholarship Fund (LMMSF) is still relatively unknown in Beaufort. Executive Director Joe Gazdak won the award for Favorite Charity Worker and LMMSF won for Favorite Non-Profit Organization.

LMMSF’s mission is to provide college scholarships to deserving graduating high school students. The student must demonstrate financial need, community service, athletic accomplishment and be accepted to an accredited college.

As Joe explained to The Island News’ General Manager Buck Boone when the awards were presented, “The Len Miret Memorial Scholarship commemorates the life of a man who was committed to his family and friends and dedicated to the development of young athletes. Not only did Len play soccer, he coached the game for many years. He believed that participation improved physical skills, mental acuity and responsible social interaction.” Len died of colon cancer at the age of 38, leaving a young widow and three children.

General Manager Buck Boone presents Joe Gazdak with his Favorite awards from The Island News.

Over the past few years LMMSF has awarded scholarships to students in South Carolina, Florida and New York.

“We hope to provide a scholarship to a student at Battery Creek High and Beaufort High this year,” Joe stated.

“It’s not too difficult to find deserving students. Finding money is a little more difficult. If anyone would like to assist in fund raising or make a donation, they can contact me through our website, www.LMMSF.org.”

HBF presents Great Gatsby Lafayette Soiree

By Tess Malijenovsky

The glamour, the Jazz, the redefined American woman, the taboo speakeasies — who doesn’t want a flash of the Roaring Twenties? Then again, who says you can’t repeat the past? This Saturday, April 28, at 6 p.m., Historic Beaufort Foundation presents “The Great Gatsby Lafayette Soiree.”

The fundraiser soiree is promised to a “beautiful, elegant event,” according to Executive Director Julie Good. A large backdrop will set the scene at the residence of Dr. Bobby Bell — the historic “Tidewater” house on the Beaufort River, 302 Federal Street. Good says there will also be a speakeasy and a Roadster turned into a photo booth to set the 1920s mood.

The event calls for cocktail attire, 1920’s glamour optional.

Aside from enjoying a night of dance, culinary specialties, cocktails and a live auction, The Great Gatsby Lafayette Soiree will have live music by Déjà vu.

All proceeds generate funds for historic preservation efforts in Beaufort County.

“So we beat on, boats against the

current, borne back ceaselessly into the past,” concludes “The Great Gatsby,” the novel, touching on the significance of the past to dreams of the future. Help Historic Beaufort Foundation continue to preserve Beaufort’s history.

Tickets are $100 per person; $75 for those under 35-years-old. To reserve a sport or for details, call 843-379-3331.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

What about titer tests?

H

ow can we vaccinate our dogs enough, but not too much?

The best tool for this is called a vaccine or antibody titer test.

It measures the levels of a specific antibody in a dog’s blood. Sounds great! A test I can run every year to see if my dog’s immunity has gotten low and needs boosting! It seems like the perfect solution to worries about overvaccination.

However appealing that idea might be, titer tests can’t be used in this way. That’s because your dog’s immune system is not a gas tank, vaccines are not gas pumps, and titer tests are not gas gauges.

A “titer” is a measurement of how much antibody to a certain virus (or other antigen) is circulating in the blood at that moment. Titers are usually expressed in a ratio, which is how many times they could dilute the blood before they couldn’t find antibodies anymore. If the lab was able to dilute it two times, and then didn’t find any more antibodies, that would be expressed as a titer of 1:2.

If they could dilute it a thousand times before they couldn’t find any antibodies, which would be a titer of 1:1000.

It would be wonderful to say that

BowWOW!

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www. wholedog.biz.

An antibody titer test measures the levels of a specific antibody in a dog’s blood. once this ratio dips below a certain level, it’s time to give another vaccination to “boost” immunity. But that reflects an incorrect understanding of the immune response. Vaccines don’t inject immunity into a dog. Instead, they stimulate the immune system to form two kinds of cells, antibodies that fight the current infection, and memory cells that remain behind after the infection has been eradicated, to pump out more antibodies if the same virus is encountered in the future.

Memory cells persist for 20 years or more, and are not increased when the animal is re-vaccinated or re-exposed to the disease. The detection of antibodies in the bloodstream, which is what a titer test does, tells us that process took place and that memory cells are present, but the absence of antibodies does not mean there are no memory cells or that the dog is not immune.

Veterinary immunologist Ian Tizard writes, “You can have a negative titer and if the pet is exposed, memory cells can respond within hours to regenerate enough antibodies for protective immunity.” (Tizard, Ian R., Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction, 6th Ed, Saunders 2000.)

You cannot make an immune dog more immune to a virus with additional

vaccination as the previous immunity will wipe out the virus in the vaccine.

With yearly boosters there will be no increase in immunity and consequently, no benefit to the dog. So, if you can’t top off your dog’s immunity to viruses with booster shots, and you can’t tell for sure from the titer test if his or her immunity is waning, what could a titer test possibly be good for?

It is another tool in your Healthy Dog tool kit. Most veterinarians, unless prompted by a client, will assume you’re there for “the usual” and will vaccinate every year without considering the general health of the animal or its lifestyle. (If your teacup pet never leaves the patio, its chances of contracting a major disease are slim. That’s lifestyle.)

It is up to you to educate yourself and advocate for your dog, know what vaccines and tests might benefit him.

A titer can help you gather more information.

Note: Several companies launched inoffice, core-titer test kits in early 2011 that are being used in various clinics in Savannah and Charleston.

To date, by sample, these tests are not available locally.

Social at 5:30 p.m., lecture at 6:30 p.m. Open to the public. The ecosystems of the world are linked by birds, and nowhere is that more apparent than the Atlantic Coast, where some shorebirds nest and rear their young, while huge flocks of other species pause to refuel on their long treks to their breeding grounds in the Arctic. Stephen Brown, Ph. D., Director of Shorebird Science at the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences, will discuss the research and conservation work conducted at Manomet, focusing on this imperiled group of birds that depend on coastal habitats like those of South Carolina to survive.

Fripp Audubon holds migration field trip

Join fellow birders Friday, April 27 for a uniquely enjoyable day filled with fascinating Lowcountry nature experiences. Expert Ken Scott will lead this Fripp Audubon-sponsored field trip to Donnelley Wildlife Management Area, where participants can expect to see migrating birds flying through species that have arrived to nest. Meet at the Lady’s Island McDonald’s at 8:30 a.m. Bring lunch, bottled water, insect repellent, camera and binoculars.

The trip is limited to Fripp Audubon Club members. Please RSVP to Pete Richards, 843-441-2153 or pete. richards@comcast.net and visit http:// www.islc.net/audubon.

Presentation reveals Red Knots migration

Fripp Audubon presents Dr. Al Seegars, Coordinator of the ACE Basin National Estuarian Research Stewardship.

He’ll describe a hard-to-believe-buttrue wildlife drama played out on our Beaufort barrier islands. Red Knots migrate from Southwest Argentina to nesting areas in the Arctic — and back — 18,000 miles roundtrip. Lacking an aerial refueling capability, Red Knots time their landfall on our coast just in time to feed on fresh-laid horseshoe crab eggs. Islands like Fripp are key spawning sites for horseshoe crabs. These living fossils occupy a vital niche in our coastal ecology AND play a lifesaving role in human biomedicine. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this awesome tale on Thursday, April 26, at 7 p.m. at Fripp Island Community Centre.
