Redfish on the line! by John C. Williams
‘The best lessons are the lessons you didn’t expect and didn’t know you were going to learn.’ Fishing Guide Billy O’Herron My son’s mission this summer was to catch a fish good enough to eat. With the help of fishing guide Billy O’Herron, a gorgeous August day and a supreme run of good luck even by O’Herron’s standards, my son met his goal by roughly 80 pounds of redfish one recent memorable day in St. Helena Sound. Jackson, my son, has been a budding fisherman for years, starting when he was about five and caught a bass in a local retention pond. From there it was surf casting and pier fishing at Emerald Isle, NC, and plenty of local fishing in neighborhood ponds, on the shores of the Coosaw River, in the Fripp surf, from a relative’s dock in the Morgan River, and from friends’ boats. This springtime, though, as he looked toward summer as only an 11-year-old can, Jackson decided the time had some to hook some “real fish,” the kind worth cleaning, cooking and eating. He’d seen enough photos of other kids holding aloft their dolphin, their trout and their flounder. He wanted his turn. In a tackle box given to him by his granddad, Jackson found a book about fishing. Though it was dated in the mid-1950s, the information still intrigued him. From there it was online research and his own meticulous notes about what types of fish preferred what types of bait and what was the best hook to use. We went to a meeting of the Beaufort Sportfishing & Diving Club to learn local techniques for hooking flounder, including shore fishing since we are among the approximate 100 people in South Carolina who don’t have a boat. He became expert at catching bait shrimp and mud minnows with his cast net. But after three months, he was doing an awful lot of fishing and precious little catching. He’d reeled in a dozen bonnet head and blacktip sharks, each about 1215 inches, and had caught a few toadfish, pufferfish and small rays – but none worth firing up the grill.
Locks of Love Eight-year-old Kidron Martin donates her hair for Locks of Love, the non-profit group that donates hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children with medical hair loss. This was Kidron's second donation and she plans to continue donating in honor of Mrs. Jennifer Strawn, a Beaufort woman fighting breast cancer, said Kidron's mom, Kimberly Martin.

News How does the 2009 real estate market compare to 2008? by Everett Ballenger
I know I, and many other readers, are anxious to see how the first half year of 2009 compares with the first half of 2008. When I first started compiling these statistics, I fully expected to see some resemblance of the now famous speech by Al Gore -“Everything that should be up is down – everything that should down is up.” Sadly, I was not disappointed. Following is a comparison, by area, of the first six months statistics for the residential housing market north of the Broad River in 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
Sales Volume Inventory Area (millions) Units Avg Price Median Price (As of July 15) Beaufort 2008 $11.1 31 $381,648 $292,061 122 2009 $ 4.8 19 $252,142 $139,000 86 Change +/-57% - 49% - 14% -52% -30% Mossy Oaks 2008 $3.5 18 $207,179 $199,000 44 2009 $3.4 17 $205,185 $171,000 45 Change +/- 3% - 5.6% - 1% -14% +0.2% Port Royal 2008 $5.3 27 $212,874 $190,000 64 2009 $4.8 27 $177,288 $177,000 62 Change +/-9.5% - 17% - 7% -3% Burton 2008 $24.6 101 $251,412 $190,000 217 2009 $17.6 73 $240,598 $197,000 251 Change +/-28.5% -27.8% - 4.4% + 3.6% +15.6% Lady’s Island 2008 $24.9 99 $265,286 $225,500 265 2009 $19.9 68 $293,145 $238,500 299 Change +/-20% -31.5% +10.5% +5.7% +13% Total Northern Beaufort County 2008 $70.5 276 $265,044 $210,000 712 2009 $50.5 204 $247.858 $198,000 742 Change +/-28% -26% -6.5% -6% +0.4% On review, the numbers do not make pleasant reading. When compared to the same period in 2008 we, in the real estate business, sold 72 fewer homes with a $20 million reduction in sales volume and the selling price of those homes that did sell dropped
about 6% from the average and median prices of homes sold the previous year. The good news is that the inventory saw less than a 1% increase and in two areas (Beaufort and Port Royal) actually saw a drop in inventory. In only two areas, Burton and Lady’s Island, did we see any price appreciation when compared with the same period last year. Burton had an increase in the median sales price and Lady’s Island attained an increase in both average and median price brackets. For many years, Lady’s Island has been the real estate powerhouse north of the Broad River. I wonder if the Lady’s Island area will be the first area to show solid signs of recovery from this lengthy correction of the real estate market. I was surprised at the City of Beaufort numbers. In the past the city has held up very well when compared with other areas. In the first six months of this year their sales are down appreciably. One reason could be that city prices tend to be in a higher price bracket, and as we all know…the higher the price, the fewer the number of potential buyers. I and many of my colleagues believed (or hoped) that the drop in real estate sales and prices would hit a plateau by the fall selling season. We may have been too optimistic. The combination of a number of factors, with unemployment at the top of the list, has hindered and hurt real estate sales. Other negative influences include expensive coastal insurance, prices too high, sub-prime issues, point of sale property tax, over supply and the list goes on and on. To be a realtor today requires accepting the fact that “it is what it is” and dealing professionally with the “new reality.” There is no crystal ball and with the volume of negative factors which keep developing it is difficult to say when we will see even a “neutral” market. Having said that, for some time I have believed, and now “experts” are saying that because of the severe cut back in single family home construction over the last two years, by the end of 2010, the nation will be short approximately 1.4 million homes, simply because of the population increase. If this turns out to be true, once the market does turn round, we could see quite strong appreciation sooner than we would have thought. One thing is for sure. There are houses on the market in prime locations in the area north of the Broad River available for purchase at prices not seen in the last decade. I am convinced that in the future people will say “If I knew then what I know now I would have bought that house.” This is that time they will refer to in the future.

No good news on home construction trends Courtesy LIBPA Newsletter
In 1999 the residential construction business on Lady’s Island reached a peak with 223 permits being issued by Beaufort County for construction of single family homes on the island. Lady’s Island saw an average of 189 new homes each year between the building peak in 1999 and 2005 when the housing market started to decline. The average selling price for a home on Lady’s Island at the building peak in 1999 was $167,000. Prices continued to rise until 2006 when the average selling price reached a peak of $319,000. 2007 was the year in which both the demand for new homes and the average selling price declined. In an attempt to stay aware of the local housing market, Lady’s Island Business & Professional Association (LIBPA) monitors the number of Lady’s Island building permits issued every six months. The following chart presents a look at the 2009 building permit numbers at midpoint of this year as compared to the last five years plus the total number of permits for each year. Lady’s Island Building Permits Year Mid Year End of Year 2004 147 204 2005 111 204 2006 93 159 2007 30 71 2008 22 52 2009 16 34 (projected) These numbers paint a grim picture for the housing construction business. The real estate market is directly connected to the demand for new housing. As an example, the June 2009 inventory of homes for sell on Lady’s Island would require over two years to deplete using the sales rate for the last six months. Certainly this is an over simplification of the problem but it does provide an indication of the severity of the challenge facing the housing construction business.

Redfish
continued from page 1 Then, in mid-July, fishing a rising river tide from his aunt and uncle’s dock, he caught a decent sized whiting – maybe 14 inches. It was eatin’ time. His cousin, a former chef in several Charleston restaurants, showed Jackson how to cut, scale and score the skin to cook the fish directly on the grill with some secret seasonings. That was outstanding eating and he, like a cartoon cat, left only the bare skeleton on his plate. Catch another dozen like that and you’d have a meal, someone said. Enter Billy O’Herron, a well-known fishing guide who runs the waters from Lady’s Island to Fripp and every inlet in between. A year ago he was featured on Babe Winkelman’s TV show when he took the host out cobia fishing. When I mentioned my boy’s goal of catching a decent fish, and tied it to Jackson’s 12th birthday this month, now it was O’Herron’s turn to be hooked. He offered a short half-day trip to St. Helena Sound to see about bringing in some redfish, flounder, trout or tarpon – or failing that, maybe catch a really big shark, he said. So that was our birthday present to Jackson – a new fishing rod and reel and a boat trip to find (and maybe catch) a big fish good enough to eat. O’Herron’s 22-foot Triton boat with its 225 horsepower moved us out of the stifling heat in a hurry. In 20 minutes, he found a spot on a small hummock in the middle of St. Helena Sound. Jackson, a bit timid at first using unfamiliar rods and reels, wasn’t casting as well as he knew he could. As he worked his line, I asked Billy a series of questions about rigs and bait and reel drag and how many people could he take out at once and as we talked, my son kept casting until he found his groove. Me? I was happy being in the sun, out of the office, with my boy and without my computer. The first 45 minutes were all about fishing and not catching – the same lesson Jackson had had drilled into his psyche all summer. Then, O’Herron said we should float over to this little cut where a stream ran into the river, past some tall green grass. He said redfish love to hunker down in that grass and wait for the baitfish to scurry past as they seek the falling tide waters – the grass also helps hide them from predators such as dolphins and big sharks. He picked up a rod and cast the minnow in the middle of that four-foot wide outflowing creek and in a moment, BAM! he had a bite. He quickly handed the rod to Jackson to start the fight. He told Jackson how to hold the rod down and then pull up while reeling in; not to let the fish get under the boat or wrapped around the prop; and to be ready for one of those zing-zing-zzzziiiinnnnggggg runs of line when the redfish makes a dash. Jackson was loving it. After months of boring bottom fishing from a pier, after months of casting into the surf and bringing back bare hooks, here he had something big pulling line from his spool. The first fight took a couple of minutes – which, by the time this article comes out, may well be stretched into a good 30-minute battle royale complete with cold compresses – but when O’Herron netted that fish, it was a huge redfish the likes of which neither Jackson nor I had ever caught! I snapped as many pictures as I could, hoping to catch that bright twinkling in his eye and the smile that wouldn’t stop. The fish was 29.5 inches long and weighed almost 10 pounds – roughly 9 ¾ pounds more than any other fish we’d caught this summer. But, according to state rules, it was too
big to keep so our guide showed us how to revive the fish over the gunwale and release it gently to the river. There were high fives and there were hugs – it was that kind of father-son, Daddy-boy event. And then was more baiting to be done. Jackson’s next cast hit the water and then BAM! another redfish hit his line, screaming it off like a buzz of bees. He boated that fish too, a nine pounder. Next cast, same pinpoint accuracy where O’Herron pointed, BAM! another redfish, this one about eight pounds. With each catch, O’Herron would point out a different feature of the fish, from the dorsal fins to the crusher plates deep in the redfish’s throat. All these fish were revived and returned with smiles aboard the boat and, we’d have to guess, smiles for the fish too. Not so for five later catches, all of them within the limit and destined for O’Herron’s fillet knife and our grill. “This is awesome!” Jackson said. “This is the best birthday present ever – can we get a boat?” The day’s tally: 13 redfish, one speckled sea trout and one flounder. It was an exceptional day even by our guide’s standards. “This kind of day is the result of a lot of trial and error, of spending a lot of time on the water to learn what works and where it works, and then a lot of just plain luck,” O’Herron said. “It was just a great day for fishing.” The good news is that, as shrimp grow larger in local waters, so too will the fish that feed on them. Redfish are resident fish to Lowcountry waters, growing up to 15 pounds before they move offshore. As the water temperatures moderate in coming months, the fishing should get even better, O’Herron said. He came to Beaufort eight years ago from Charlotte and took a job as an outdoor guide at Oldfield in Okatie. He learned he had a knack for finding fish and for helping people learn about the outdoors, so after a bit he struck out on his own as a fishing guide. “Most of my clients want to get a fish on the hook,” he said. “They aren’t too particular about what kind of fish, though I do have some who will ask to go out for redfish … That’s part of the secret, to help the client have fun and put something on the end of the line.” O’Herron offers half-day, three-quarter day and full day charters. He provides all the fishing tackle, fishing licenses, bait, a iced cooler with water and any beverages you may choose to bring. Your responsibility? Bring a hat, sunscreen, a good attitude and a willingness to listen and learn. For more information, visit his website at www.beaufortfishing.com. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch some fish. If you’re even luckier, you’ll have one of those days that you – and your son or daughter – will remember forever.

Years in the making, being a tour guide is her ‘dream job,’ Carolyn Clark says by John C. Williams Call it kismet, providence or just wellintentioned coincidence, but sometimes things happen for a reason. Carolyn Clark was 70 when she and her husband came to Beaufort from Atlanta for a house-hunting visit. They had both grown up around live oaks – she in the Charleston area and he in Pensacola – and yearned to return. “On one of our house-shopping trips here from Atlanta, I noticed a sign for walking tours, something I’d talked about leading for a long time,” Clark said. “My husband urged me to go on in, at least investigate the possibilities of a job. The shop was empty so far as I could see, but a voice came from a far corner, ‘How can I help you?’ “’I’m hoping I can help you,’ was my reply. Evelene Stevenson and I talked for a few minutes and she said, ‘I’ve been sitting here waiting for you. As soon as you get moved, let me know and we’ll get started.’ I’ve been walking and talking with the Spirit of Old Beaufort ever since.” Now you can find her in her homesewn colonial dress or antebellum frock, sharing the tales that make this corner of the South just a little more special. It just took her awhile to get here. She was born in Spartanburg but grew up in North Charleston and then Orangeburg. She attended Winthrop and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Radio, Television and Motion Pictures. It was at Chapel Hill that she met her husband to be. “We’ve been steady-dating for over 50 years now, have two children - a graphic designer and an orthopedic surgeon and three adorable grandchildren,” she said. After college, she worked as a radio writer and on-air personality – “Miss Virginia Lee at WLEE” in Richmond, Virginia, and at WSB in Atlanta. She then moved into copywriting for department stores, catalogs and direct mail. Later, she and Buddy opened a fine jewelry store in the Atlanta area. “He had the know-how,” she said, “and I became the custom designer.”
So what brings a jewelry designer, writer and radio personality to become a costumed history guide in a tucked away corner like Beaufort? “I’ve always liked history, but it’s the people whose stories we tell that intrigue me,” Clark said, “and meeting the various folks who come walking along with us. And the people on the Point who actually stop what they’re doing to invite us off the street into their homes on occasion. Can you imagine that happening anywhere else but this wonderful little town? Plus there’s always something new to learn. I’m using bits of info from the archaeological digs in Allendale as part of my commentary now. “My favorite story on tour, I think, is about how the Hamiltons got their house back after the war. It’s a story that starts with death and grief and hatred and turns on the goodness of a few people to forgiveness and coming together and starting over. No matter how often I tell it, I still have to check a choked voice and sometimes a tear. “Why is this my dream job? Because you can make visitors see Robert Smalls walking the deck of the Plante,r or James Fripp weeping for his lost home, or Guernache turning handsprings for Eliza Johnson. “What makes Beaufort so special to me is its openness, friendliness, somebody who’s always saying ‘hi’ to you wherever you go,” she said. Also, “the incredible beauty of this place. And that you don’t need to iron clothes -- nobody else does.” The big news at the Spirit of Old Beaufort is that they have a new tour, going to St. Helena Island in an air conditioned van to share stories about Penn Center, Coffin Point Plantation, and the praise house, Clark said. The Clarks are members of Carteret Street United Methodist Church. The couple has a dog, “really still a puppy but he’s at least 50-pounds now. The dog pound in Orangeburg said he was border collie-spaniel mix, but that’s marketing. He’s half lab, half horse, and so much fun,” she said. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening and sewing.

News ARTjamz at ARTworks ~ because everyone is creative by Lisa Annelouise Rentz
“Getting together in social arts-making sessions like these ARTjamz can create an energy that you can’t get elsewhere,” said Peggy Carvell, a jeweler and resident artist at ARTworks. “When you’re communing with others who like to create on a tangible level, about objects and creations put forth from your imagination, then that process inspires a lot of conversation and output, and it’s fun!”
The ARTworks T-shirt design competition will be held during the first four ARTjamz (August 28, September 25, October 23 and November 27.) The $5 admission fee includes a design template and elbow room to draw. The design that best represents 12,000 square feet of dedication to the arts in the Lowcountry to the rest of the world will be printed on T-shirts and the winning artist will receive public acclaim.
ARTjamz at ARTworks are, just as Peggy said, for creative camaraderie, starting August 28th at 6:30pm, and continuing on the fourth Friday of each month. Because ARTjamz are grown naturally, each hand-picked jam will have natural variations (themes, angles, featured artists). On August 28, everyone who shows up ($5 at the door) can hang out, peek over the shoulders of working artists, see what’s on the other side of the easel, and choose from an array of ready-to-go art experiences and experiments (each conveniently $5 off ).
These art experiences range from musicians jamming on-stage free to enjoy, goodies by artisan baker Irby Rentz, proof that Everyone is Creative, Doodles that are more Artistic than You Realized, photography cuter than dragon fly close-ups, Getting Wired Island Time, needle felting demonstrations, Memory Tree readings & interviews, a gift certificate for pottery classes, and the ARTworks T-shirt design competition.

ARTjamz are hosted by ARTworks, the home of the Arts Council of Beaufort County in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street, in Beaufort. Contact 379-2787 and beaufortcountyarts.com for more info.
Graphics Nine art show opens Sept. 4 at Charles Street Gallery The “Graphics Nine” show opening Sept. 4 at the Charles Street Gallery features the work of – you guess it -- nine local artists. A reception to meet the artists will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sept. 4 at the gallery located at 914 Charles Street in the Beaufort Historic District. Joan Templer was the instructor for this energetic group of artists who explored many different graphic techniques that utilize the etching press to print images. Among the applications and techniques studied were Mono Prints, Collagraphs, Etchings, Graphite Transfers, Embossing, Air Brushing, and the application of Gold Leaf.
Intaglio prints are created by scratching the images into a plate with a sharp stylus and then applying oil paint or printers’ inks to the plate before printing. For this class, the plates used were Plexiglas. Hetty Nijman’s art titled “General Store at Historic Seabrook” is an example of the Intaglio prints. Hetty says that printmaking opens whole new dimensions for an artist. Each new print has its own mood and can create somewhat unexpected results. Part of the excitement is the anticipation of the resulting art. It is often a process of trial and error.
Prints are often augmented with additional treatments after the first run through the press. Carol Kamm says “it is exciting to artistically merge elements that delight and excite your eyes, your mind and your heart. Bringing found objects Artists whose work is on display are Phyllis Crimmel, Pam Hagan, Carol Kamm, into the more traditional structure of painting and printmaking continues to Juliana Kim, Ellen Long, Hetty Nijman, Betty Powell, Barbara Snow, and Joan expand my horizons.” Templer. The show will continue through September 18, with the gallery open Monday Joan encouraged the Beaufort Art Association to purchase an Etching Press nine through Friday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 3 years ago and is always eager to introduce new artists to the many ways it may be p.m. used to produce very striking art. Collagraphs are produced by creating a printing plate with collaged materials. The three dimensional plate may then be run through the press to produce an “embossed” image on watercolor paper. The resulting image may be airbrushed or enhanced in other ways. Ellen Long’s “Copper Koi” used air brushing and metallic paints to replicate the look of a tarnished copper plaque. Barbara Snow’s “Circle the Moon II” is an example of a Collagraph with Gold Leaf details. Barb says that “the pieces in this show have all evolved through my love of experimentation. Not knowing quite what something is going to look like until it is printed is part of this exciting process.” Collagraph plates may also have an application of oil paints or printing inks applied before printing for a very different finished print. Phyllis Crimmel felt that creating the Collagraph plates with pieces of textured materials was the most exciting process. She said that “one of the best things was using the same plate again with different effects.”

Lowcountry Social Diary Beaufort International Film Festival to honor Pat Conroy by Lanier Laney
Fripp Island resident Pat Conroy was named this week as the 2010 Jean Ribaut Award Winner for ‘Outstanding and Inspiring Original Material for Film’ which will be presented to him at the Beaufort International Film Festival’s awards ceremony on February 20. It is the film festival’s highest award. Four of Conroy’s novels to date have been made into films: Conrack (based on The Water is Wide), Lords of Discipline, Prince of Tides, and The Great Santini, all of which have been set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina although Conrack was shot mostly in Brunwick and St. Simons, Georgia And if you think about it, a movie company spends an average of $15 million each time a movie is filmed in the state, so that means he has single-handedly brought in over $45 million into the state to enrich all the working people and businesses. Kudos to Pat for that! And also congrats to Pat on his current New York Times #1 bestseller, ‘South of Broad’.
Unlike previous years, where the Film Festival was a part of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, this will be the first year it has been spun off into its own nonprofit 501c(3) entity. “This means our sponsors will be more important to us than ever, from individuals to corporate” said Tucker. “We will also be giving our corporate sponsors much higher visibility this year than ever before. This Festival is important for Beaufort as it brings the area to the attention of young filmmakers as a future location for their movies and it also attracts tourists who spend their dollars here at all the inns, hotels, restaurants, and stores.” Final deadline for film submissions is Nov. 15. Categories include shorts, student films, animation, features, and screenplays. For more information about submissions, advance tickets, or sponsorship opportunities, go to www. beaufortfilmfestival.com.
2010 will be the Beaufort International Film Festival’s Pat Conroy fourth year. Last year the Festival was a huge success, receiving over 122 submissions from 22 countries and had over 2,000 people attend its sold out screenings on Lady’s Island and special events. Ron Tucker, president of the Film Festival, says that he has already received over 100 entrees so far from as nearby as Savannah, to as far away as the Republic of Georgia in the former Soviet Union. “I’m excited about the high quality of film submissions we have received so far this year, I think 2010 will prove to be our very best year ever,” he said.

If you haven’t already heard, Pat will be signing his new book this Saturday downtown at the Bay Street Trading Company from 1 to 4 p.m. Bay Street Trading Company is one of the oldest independent bookstores in the Southeast and is “the only store in which Conroy has signed every book he’s ever written” said owner Lisa Estes, a longtime friend and supporter.
Speaking of movies, Historic Beaufort Foundation in kicking off a long weekend of activities celebrating the release of Conroy’s new book by screening The Great Santini this Thursday night at dusk in the Waterfront Park. Based on an earlier Conroy novel, the movie features actor Michael O’Keefe in an Academy Award nominated role. Admission is free. (Bring a chair).
In support of HBF’s fundraiser for a new roof for the Verdier House, O’Keefe will appear on Saturday and sign your copies of the Santini book and the DVD. The Verdier House will be open for tours, refreshments and the book signing, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m., at the same time Conroy is signing copies of South of Broad at Bay Street Trading Co. across Bay Street. Saturday’s tour of the Verdier House with refreshments and O’Keefe book signing is a $20 donation per person. Well it sounds like a big upcoming weekend for Conroy lovers in Beaufort!

NEWS Mizu offers outstanding food and convenient location A relative newcomer to the local dining scene, Mizu is a Japanese seafood and steakhouse located on Ribaut Road in a former Chinese restaurant. Mizu provides an exciting new option for good food. The restaurant is a wonderful choice for socializing. It offers eight hibachi tables in the large dining area, plus tables and booths within view of the sushi section. There are two private rooms for romantic, family or business meals, too. Owner Selly Roshto previously owned area restaurants including China Buffet and China Express – but Mizu is a different approach. This is an upbeat, nicely decorated restaurant that’s perfect for a group dinner or for a romantic night out – and with exceptional food for lunch and dinner. The menu for both lunch and dinner includes full sushi service, hibachi meals and teriyaki glazes on chicken, shrimp, salmon, beef, vegetables and tofu. The sushi is always fresh and is among the best in town. The setting is entirely family friendly, and usually you’ll find at least one of the hibachi tables serving a couple of families out for a night of good eating. Mizu is located at 1370 Ribaut Road, near the McTeer Bridge, convenient to residents of Beaufort, Port Royal and Lady’s Island, and just a few minutes more for people on St. Helena or Dataw islands. Mizu is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. To get a sneak peak at the great food and fun at Mizu, see our video at www.yourislandnews.com.

‘Santini’ star to mark 30th anniversary celebration here this weekend Historic Beaufort Foundation kicks off a weekend of activities celebrating the release of Pat Conroy’s new book by offering a 30th anniversary screening of The Great Santini Thursday night at dusk in the Waterfront Park. Based on one of Conroy’s early novels, the movie featured actor Michael O’Keefe in an Academy Award-nominated role as well as stars Robert Duvall and Blythe Danner. Release of the movie sparked interest in Beaufort for other big-budget Hollywood films, including The Big Chill, Forrest Gump, The Prince of Tides and Something to Talk About during the 1980s and early 1990s. All took advantage of the scenic historic homes, live oaks and curving Bay Street locations.

O’Keefe will be a guest in a celebration of John Mark Verdier’s 250th birthday Saturday at the Verdier House. He will sign personal copies of the book and the DVD. The Verdier House will be open for tours, refreshments and the book signing, 1– 4 p.m., at the same time Conroy is signing copies of South of Broad, at Bay Street Trading Co. across Bay Street. No books will be available for sale at the Verdier House.

O’Keefe might even attend the movie screening. Screening of the movie will begin at dusk, or approximately 8 p.m., near the Pavilion. HBF volunteers will sell popcorn and soft drinks with proceeds supporting a state matching grant for replacement of the Verdier House roof. Proceeds from Saturday’s birthday party at the Verdier House will also go to the matching grant.

O’Keefe later co-starred in Caddyshack, Ironweed and The Pledge. Nominated for a Golden Globe and the star of the Tony award-winning Broadway play Side Man, O’Keefe has also appeared in numerous television specials and series including The West Wing and Law & Order. A recognized poet and lyricist, he wrote many of his ex-wife Bonnie Raitt’s songs including “Longing in Their Hearts,” which won Raitt a Grammy. His upcoming feature film is American Violet. Entrance to the movie in the park Thursday is free. Bring a chair and bug spray. Saturday’s tour of the Verdier House with refreshments and book signing is $20 donation per person. A $50 donation includes the tour, refreshments, book signing and the coffee table book, Beaufort, a regular $50 value.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
What is Dog Food?
The Yuck Factor, Part Two Into the vats of mystery meat meal, rendered bits of what’s left over and grain fillers, dog food manufacturers also stir in additives and chemicals to improve taste, stability and appearance. Additives include emulsifiers to prevent water and fat from separating, antioxidants to prevent the fat from becoming rancid and artificial colors to make the chow more visually appealing to humans and hopefully, more palatable to their dogs.
Some manufacturers have responded to consumer concern and are now using “natural” preservatives such as Vitamin C, (ascorbate), Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols), and oils of rosemary, clove, or other spices to preserve fats in their products. The shelf life on these products is shorter, only about six months. Again, read the label to check the foods’ viability especially if you’re using a better brand of kibble.
A wide variety of additives are permitted in pet food, not counting vitamins and minerals. Additives can be specifically approved, or they can fall into the category of “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS). These additives can include anti-caking agents, color additives, antimicrobial agents, curing and drying agents, petroleum derivatives, preservatives, texturizers and thickeners, to list just a few.
Unfortunately, even with all these products added to prevent this and that, there still remain a slew of potential dangers. We humans have recently been alerted to the threat of E. coli bacteria on our factory-farmed produce. This bacterium also lurks in more that 50% of meat meals used in dog foods.
Dogs generally will not eat tainted food unless starving. Consequently, all pet foods must be preserved so they stay fresh and appealing. Some preservatives are added to ingredients or raw materials by the suppliers, and others by the manufacturers. Key among the preservatives added by manufacturers specifically to ensure that dry foods have a 12-month shelf life are synthetic preservatives such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate, propylene glycol (also used as a less-toxic version of automotive antifreeze), and ethoxyquin. Read the ingredient list on the back of your dog food bag; these are usually listed near the bottom. For these antioxidants, there is little information documenting their toxicity, safety, interactions, or chronic use in pet foods that may be eaten every day for the life of the animal. Propylene glycol was banned in cat food because it causes anemia in cats, but it is still allowed in dog food. Potentially cancer-causing agents such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin are permitted at relatively low levels. Years ago, I was told by an animal nutritionist that BHA and BHT are also used to preserve carpet. I began reading ingredient labels religiously after that nugget of information was dropped in my path.
One of my personal concerns now having moved to a more humid climate is the growth of mycotoxins (toxins from mold or fungi) on dry dog foods. Modern farming practices, adverse weather conditions, and improper drying and storage of crops can contribute to mold growth on an industrial level. At home, these toxins can form in our kibble containers if we do not close the lids tightly. Pet food ingredients that are most likely to be contaminated with mycotoxins are grains-- wheat and corn, and fish meal. While it is more cost effective to buy the big bag of chow, I advocate for smaller bags simply because anything can grow a layer of green fuzz here in the summer months. Always check the last third of the chow in the bin. If it smells at all funny or your dog balks at eating it, it has probably gone furry. Dump it and scrub out your container with bleach. Yet to come: recalls, nutrition-related diseases and the secrets of the pet food industry as if the truth wasn’t scary enough. BowWOW! is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog.
