he Community Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS — sponsored by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the city of Beaufort and Main Street Beaufort, USA — was held under the pavilion at Henry C. Chamber Waterfront Park on Thursday, August 21 at 3 p.m.

Local businesses, civic leaders and even Beaufort’s own chief of police were on hand to get doused with ice water to help raise awareness and money to help fight ALS, which stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Participants brought their own buckets and were filled with ice and water, courtesy of the Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department.

According to the ALS Association’s website, the Ice Bucket Challenge has raised more than $70 million nationwide.

Dream of homeownership comes true

From left: Shirley Sumrall, LowCountry Habitat of Humanity Executive Director Brenda Dooley, and Edna Curnell pose at the home dedication.

LowCountry Habitat for Humanity recently held the dedication of its 40th home for Edna Curnell and her daughter Shirley Sumrall.

Coming to the United States from the Philippines, Edna Curnell had always dreamed of owning her own home. Due to some overwhelming health and family issues, this was far from a reality. The only housing that Edna and Shirley could afford was a mobile home that they shared with a roommate and another family member.

In June of 2010, they applied for the

Habitat Homeownership Program and were overjoyed when they were accepted into the program.

After completing more than 400 hours of Sweat Equity, Edna and Shirley are ready to begin building a bright future in their new home on Lafayette Street in downtown Beaufort.

They couldn’t be happier to own a safe, decent affordable home and take pride in the work they accomplished to get to this point.

Beaufort earns highest bond rating The city of Beaufort earned its highest bond rating ever from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, reflecting the city’s strong management, budgetary flexibility and a locally-improving economy, city leaders said Wednesday.

Standard & Poor’s Rating Services raised its long-term rating and underlying rating on the city of Beaufort’s general obligation debt to “AA,” up from “AA-”, based on their local general obligation criteria released September 12, 2013. The outlook is stable, the rating firm said.

The good news for the city government comes even as the community continues to wrestle with economic diversification and redevelopment, attracting shoppers to downtown Beaufort stores, finding the right mix of local retail and destination shops, and balancing city taxes against services and improvements some residents desire.

“All in all, I think our city government has done a wonderful job of navigating the Great Recession, from a management perspective, and

the Standard & Poor’s rating reflects that achievement,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said.

“At the same time, we are still struggling to fill vacant storefronts, we struggle to attract new residents, we struggle to provide all the services and amenities people say they want.

And we must press on with efforts to diversify our economic base by attracting better jobs for those who grow up here and those who choose to move here. From that perspective, Beaufort as a community has a long ways to go, though we are making headway,” he said.

The Standard & Poor’s Rating Services report addressed the city of Beaufort government’s finances, not the community at large.

The improved rating could bring better interest rates for the city of Beaufort if general obligation bonds are issued or existing debt refinanced with the AA standing, said City Finance Director Kathy Todd. She said there aren’t any immediate plans to issue additional debt though refinancing

current debt may be a viable option if it will produce lower interest rates and save the city money in the short- and long term.

“As the economy quickly turned bad and then worse starting in 2007, (City Manager Scott) Dadson, his staff and City Council made some very strategic decisions that helped stabilize our finances and put us in our favorable position today. It wasn’t easy, and sacrifices were made, but today the City of Beaufort government is in perhaps its best financial situation in 20-plus years,” the mayor said.

The S&P upgrade reflects the rating agency’s findings of strong financial management in the city government, very strong budgetary flexibility, very strong liquidity, strong budgetary performance, and adequate debt and contingent liabilities.

“This supports our hard work to put Beaufort in a strong financial position despite the economic downturn,” Dadson said. “Kudos to Kathy Todd and our City Council for making this improved bond rating possible.”

Suffering, struggling or barely surviving? Then change states

By Martha O’Regan

Depending on your current life disposition, some of you may hear this statement as “pack your bags and move to Nebraska” if life isn’t happening as you had always hoped. Hopefully, more of you heard, “if you want something different to occur in your life, change your state of being.” How you heard this statement will speak volumes about your level of awareness and how you are thinking. So, without judgment, simply “check in” to where your mind took you when you read the headline of the article.

While listening to one of my quantum science gurus, I received a major “ahha” that I intend to share in a way that creates immense change in many lives immediately, so here goes. Your personality is your personal reality and if you wish to create change, you must create a new personality, otherwise you continue to create your same reality.

OK, so what does that mean? Our personality is the cumulative repetition of the way we think, act and feel based on our environment, circumstances and conditions in our personal reality.

When we repeat the same thoughts, we make the same choices, generate the same behaviors, have the same experiences, produce the same emotions, Martha O’Regan which in turn form the same thoughts — and around and around we go for days, weeks, months, years, and decades creating the same personal reality. So we wake up one day and decide we are ready to create change in our life, yet we don’t change our habits then we get frustrated that change isn’t occurring. We humans are so quirky, aren’t we? But, we come by it honestly because we were never taught to do it any differently ... until now.

So, without moving to a new state in the Union, we have to create union with a new state of being; one that will create change in our patterns, habits and reactions.

A state of being is when mind and body are working together to align

Awakenings

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

with a specific destiny. Let’s look at some basic concepts. Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body. Our thoughts produce an immediate chemical reaction in the brain which then stimulates a feeling in the body which then creates a similar thought producing the same feeling, creating the thought, then the feeling and over time creates memorized behaviors, emotional reactions, habits and our personal state of being. So, if we are to create any change in our life, we have to create new thoughts in order to create new feelings, etc. But how?

The first step is to shift the paradigm of “cause and effect” into “cause an effect.”

We have been raised in a culture that

when good things happen, then we can be happy. What if we could just be happy and begin to observe what happens in our lives? Quantum law tells us that our environment is an extension of our mind and that if we want our environment to change, we have to change our minds or our thoughts. This is contrary to the old way of thinking that we are a victim to what is happening to us externally. Feels quite different, don’t you think?

The brain doesn’t know the difference between what is real or what is imagined, so if you are ready to create change, begin by imagining a new state of being.

If time, money and circumstances were not a factor, what would you love to be, do or have in your life? Allow yourself to dream big, visualizing with full color and features, until you can feel it in your body and repeat as often as you can. Creating new thoughts and patterns will create new feelings, producing new thoughts, stimulating new feelings, and so on and so on, until new patterns, attitudes, and behaviors emerge. Now, we have a new state of being. Give it a try.

Health Tip Of The Week

The seven minute workout

By Ian Hart

Many people have this idea about working out: You have to spend hours at the gym and work out five to seven days a week. This is true if you want to be a bodybuilder, a professional athlete or compete in certain events, but the reality is that you can get a lean, toned and attractive body in less than 90 minutes a week. Yes, you heard that right, only 90 minutes a week.

Many people find it hard to believe but

when we introduce them to people who have achieved dramatic results only doing 70-90 minutes of training a week and have lost 60 to 70 pounds and between Ian Hart 10% and 15% of body fat, their skepticism quickly turns to belief, motivation and excitement about the future of their own health and

bodies.

The key is knowledge — knowing what exercises to do and how much of them to do. Ostensibly, if you just did a 7-10 minute workout each day, seven days a week, that is approximately 5070 minutes of training a week, and I am sure you will see great results.

Here is a quick routine to do at home: • Run a set of stairs (30 seconds) • Squats (30 seconds) • Push ups (30 seconds)

• Walking lunges (30 seconds) • Jumping Jacks (30 seconds) • Jog In Place (30 seconds) Do three sets for a total of 9 minutes of working. You can do this pretty much anywhere, anytime and it takes less than 1 percent of your day. No excuses!

musings from the therapist’s chair Meaning is not in things, but between them. Take marriage for example, the meaning or truth of the marriage does not reside in one or the other of the partners but in the middle between them. It is like a sculpture they are working on together: Neither person can fully see what the other sees on the other side, but they work from their own perspectives to make it as beautiful as possible.

Teach your teen to be a smart passenger When teens start driving, the chances are their friends are learning to drive too — so at some point your teen is likely to be a passenger in a car being driven by someone without much experience.

Sadly, more than half of teens who die in car crashes are not behind the wheel, and a teen’s chances of getting in a fatal wreck rise sharply if they ride with a teen driver.

According to recent research of teen views on driving, parents play a crucial role in teen driving safety. Teens who say their parents set rules and pay attention to their activities in a helpful, supportive way are half as likely to be in a crash. This same research shows that most teens don’t consider themselves to be inexperienced drivers and don’t view passengers as potentially hazardous.

These misperceptions can be deadly.

Seat Belt Use • Teens have the lowest seat belt use rates of any age group, leading to deadly consequences.

• Only 65 percent of teens consistently wear their seat belts as both a driver and passenger.

• Six out of 10 drivers ages 16 to 20 who were killed in crashes were unrestrained.

• Almost two out of three teens killed as occupants of motor vehicles are unrestrained.

Distracted driving is a major cause of crashes, and passenger distractions are particularly dangerous for new drivers.

Teen passengers can lower this risk by limiting distractions, respecting the driver, and always wearing a seat belt.

Here are six quick tips for teaching your teens to be safety-minded passengers: • Talk about how to be a safe passenger. Distracted driving is a major cause of crashes, and passenger distractions are particularly dangerous for new drivers. Discuss helpful passenger behaviors, such as reading directions when asked and respecting the driver by not talking loudly, chatting on a cell phone, playing loud music, or acting wild.

• Insist on seat belts. Most adolescent passengers who die in wrecks aren’t wearing seat belts. Explain that by buckling up, they’ll help protect their friends’ lives, as well as their own. In a crash, an unrestrained body can hurt others in the car.

• Don’t let your child ride with a driver who has less than a year of experience. Most teen crashes are the result of “rookie” mistakes. Even the most mature teen needs time to gain driving experience through adultsupervised driving.

• Pay attention. To help them make good safety decisions, keep the lines of communication open. Know where they are going and why, and discuss how they will get there and when they will be home. Provide alternatives, like rides, to allow them to avoid unsafe driving situations.

• Create a code word. Help teens get out of unsafe situations by having them call or text you with a previously agreedupon code word that signals trouble.

When you hear or see the word, pick them up right away.

• Lead by example. Always wear a seat belt. Don’t talk on a cell phone or text while driving. Don’t speed. Follow the rules of the road.

Adaptive golf event held at Legends Parris Island A group of local physical therapists and PGA golf professionals braved almost 100 degree temperatures last weekend to participate in the Adaptive Golf Association training at the Legends Golf Course on Parris Island.

After two days of training, the group spent Saturday morning working with a group of civilians, veterans and active duty military with physical disabilities, teaching them how to play golf.

“This event is designed to encourage, educate and entertain,” said Beaufort Memorial physical therapist Steve Giammona, one of the organizers of the event. “Golf is fun to play, as well as an excellent therapeutic exercise.”

Future clinics are planned, with the next one scheduled for Saturday, Sept.

20 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Legends course. Participation is free and anyone with a disability or challenge — including stroke, spinal injury, TBI or amputation — is encouraged to participate. The clinics are sponsored

Volunteers needed for Beaufort High stadium cleanup Beaufort High’s fall sports teams, coaches, school staff and community volunteers will join Saturday morning to clean up and beautify Eagle Stadium — and more help is needed.

Organized by the Big Green Booster Club and its affiliated “Friends of the Program” led by Mike Ingram, the annual cleanup will start at 8 a.m. and end no later than noon. More people, more hands and more volunteers will mean less time is required, Ingram said.

“This is a great way for everyone to show their support for Beaufort High School and its student athletes,” Ingram said. “We have all sorts of chores and tasks to suit everyone’s ability, from

Ingram said.

“We appreciate the Booster Club organizing this and making it happen,” Beaufort High Athletics Director Jerry Linn said. “The school district helps with the big things, but having all these people come together for a stadium cleanup is part of what makes the Beaufort High family so tight. As (football) Coach (Mark) Clifford says, ‘one team, one family, one community.’”

The first home varsity football game will be held Friday, Sept. 12 against Whale Branch Early College High School.

For Saturday’s stadium cleanup, volunteers should bring, if possible, any

picking up trash to trimming bushes to repainting the goal posts.”

Anyone interested in helping should arrive at the stadium Saturday morning, the earlier the better, Ingram said.

Wade Deaton of Sea Island Tree and Ronnie Reiselt of Southern Tree Services are providing mulch to beautify the landscaped areas around the field and stadium. Volunteers should bring rakes to help spread the mulch.

Edward Marchetti, owner of Buds & Blooms Landscaping in Beaufort, and Joe McDermott, who owns Greengoods Nursery in Ridgeland, donated shrubs to plant around the stadium — and for that, volunteers should bring shovels,

of the following: • Rakes to scatter mulch areas • Blowers • Pruning shears • Ladders for hanging banners • Wheel barrows • Pitch forks • Trash Bags • Bow saws to cut “suckers” from oak trees • Shovels to dig holes for new bushes • Ties for banners and ladders • Pickup trucks for removing trash and debris to the dump.

Plan to arrive as close to 8 a.m. as possible. Volunteers should bring their own bottled water.

An open letter about teaching

By Esther L. Truesdale

When assessing a teacher’s success, do not limit it to one domain. Teaching and learning must occur in both the Cognitive and Affective Domains.

The Cognitive Domain can be easily tested. Questions can be asked of students that evaluate recall, comprehension, analysis, and application of facts or concepts. Data can be collected and grades can be issued.

The Affective Domain can enhance, inhibit, or even prevent student learning. It includes student motivation, perceptions, attitudes, fears, superstitions, stereotypes and values such as kindness, sharing and personal responsibility. Teaching and learning successes in this domain cannot be easily evaluated.

In my early years of teaching, I became frustrated thinking I was spending too much time teaching in the Affective Domain, guiding students to respect the space, feelings, and needs of others. However, I became less stressed when I realized the Affective Domain is as important as the Cognitive. In some years, my students tested lower in the Cognitive Domain than in other years. However, because I knew I had helped children improve in the Affective Domain, I did not allow myself to feel

When critics try to evaluate teachers and students solely by testing in the Cognitive Domain, they overlook the complexity of the educational process. beaten down. I simply worked with what I had been given.

Data showing student improvements in the Affective Domain is scant.

Teachers spend much of a school day guiding students in making good decisions. These include: • Respecting the space of others, standing or sitting quietly; facing the front; • How to care for a cough or sneeze properly, and how to use good table manners and appropriate language; • Where to put personal belongings and how to respect what belongs to others; • Why we must tell the truth and respect various opinions, when appropriate; • How to use, share, and care for classroom (community) items; • What to do if there is a fire, tornado or building lock-down; • How to accept a new student and help him learn class routines.

Additionally, a teacher spends time communicating with parents and guardians. This may include a note home, a daily smiley (or sad) face in a journal, a phone call, face to face meetings, a weekly letter stating upcoming events, goals, spelling lists, math skills, naming the “person of the week,” and a six-weeks progress report, followed six weeks or less by a “report card.”

Teachers frequently attend before and after school teacher meetings, grade level meetings, impromptu meetings with others who interface with students, IEP (Individual Education Plan) meetings and PTO. Teachers prepare required lesson plans that include detailed objectives and how goals will be met.

Often, lesson plans must include how a teacher will adjust for the special needs of a delayed or advanced learner, or one for whom English is a second language.

The Affective Domain requires a great deal of time but is not easily assessed for a data sheet. How can you measure

the influence a teacher has in helping a student become an honorable citizen?

If teachers’ successes are compared and contrasted, where is the data to determine whether students in one classroom brought more “out of school baggage” with them than students in another class? Where is the data to determine the impact of tardiness and absenteeism? There are many variables.

Each class is different. Each year brings a new set of challenges.

Parents, school board members, administrators, taxpayers, journalists, TV commentators, and legislators, please be attentive. When critics try to evaluate teachers and students solely by testing in the Cognitive Domain, they overlook the complexity of the educational process.

Responsible community behavior is expected of civilized persons. Results from testing in the Cognitive Domain are important. But remember the impact of the Affective Domain. When determining success, consider the entire range of a teacher’s assignment.

Esther Truesdale is a retired educator and writer. She taught for more than 35 year at pre-school, elementary, and post-secondary levels, including a Ford Foundation Program. She volunteers in a local Beaufort County school.

A Northern’s perspective on the Lowcountry

By Lee Scott

“Welcome to Beaufort!”

I have heard that phrase so many times since moving here. It is often said with a warm, friendly Southern inflection that I enjoy hearing.

“Thank you!” I say enthusiastically because I love hearing it.

Then it is usually followed by the phrase, “Why did you move here?” I’m sure it is one of those questions easily asked, but sometimes hard to answer.

The response that I usually give is,“We like the area. We love the waterways, the food and the greenery.”

But the truth is that Beaufort reminds me and my husband of Annapolis, Maryland, our hometown, but the Annapolis of 25 years ago before people discovered the city and before Baltimore and Washington, DC, started to spill their population into our small town.

Now what?

highlighting daily life observations

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

The historic buildings, the old churches and cemeteries and the art are all very familiar to me.

We moved here because it is beautiful, the weather is wonderful, the people are friendly and the community has the small town flavor that we love, an atmosphere that we find comfortable.

After only a few months here, I am slowly getting familiar with the town. I have learned that I don’t leave the house without a hat, my suntan lotion, my

Skin So Soft or some other bug spray.

I have learned to use one of those silly window shades for my front window if I am going to be leaving my car out in a parking lot for long. (No, I don’t have the ones with the eyes, but feel free to let me know where I can get one!) I seek shaded spots in the parking lots. I have learned to keep my windows open a few inches to let the heat out of the car while I am in the grocery store.

I have learned that no matter how much my cocker spaniels whine about going with me for a ride, I cannot take them in the car when the temperature is 90 degrees.

I have learned not to fake a Southern accent because it just sounds horrible.

Speak normal and the Southern accent will slowly slip into your life. I know this because I am originally from Rhode Island and I know how accents can change. You can pick up the local accent fast enough, don’t’ push it.

I have learned that I have to carry a sweater with me because of the transition from the heat to the air conditioning.

There is so much I have learned and so many things that I want explore.

The first few months have been wonderful. The people have made all the difference. And from this Northerner’s perspective, I feel welcomed to Beaufort.

Connecting body, mind and soul

By Takiya Smith

In my opinion, most things don’t compare to the sense of achievement one feels when the body is in complete health, the mind is at total peace and the soul, a matter of the heart, is cleansed by absolute freedom.

However, the catch and trickiest part to reaching optimal alignment of body, mind and soul is intricately, but with all simplicity, found within.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

District selects lead counselor for Beaufort County schools A veteran school counselor and retired U.S. Marine has been selected as the lead counselor for Beaufort County’s schools and alternative education programs.

Geri Henderson has served for the past four years as the lead counselor at Whale Branch Early College High School, where she worked with Principal Priscilla Drake to introduce an early college program. Students can graduate from the program with South Carolina high school diplomas and also with associate’s degrees from the Technical College of the Lowcountry.

“Geri Henderson has a strong counseling background and a strong record of successful work,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “She combines a nononsense approach with a genuine affection for students, and I’m confident that she will do a terrific job in her new position.”

In her new district-wide role, Henderson will: • Work with school administrators, counselors, teachers, students and parents in developing individual growth plans for students.

• Assist high schools in creating a systematic process to increase college scholarships and help parents with the meeting the financial challenges of attending two- and four-year colleges.

• Develop more real-world business internships and

New school district lead Counselor Geri Henderson speaks to counselors from each school in the district before the start of the 2014-15 school year.

job-shadowing opportunities for students.

• Lead district counselors in partnering with colleges to increase dual-enrollment opportunities for students.

• Work with schools to determine the best instructional approaches for each student.

• Coordinate effective training for counselors across the district.

During her 20-year career in the Marine Corps, Henderson served as a drill instructor and marksmanship instructor before transitioning into positions focusing on counseling. She was stationed in locations ranging

from Parris Island to California to Japan and earned two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals, three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and other citations for exemplary performance. In 1990, she was honored as Parris Island’s Counselor of the Year.

After leaving the Marine Corps, she served for eight years as school-to-career counselor at the BeaufortJasper Academy of Career Excellence.

While serving as the lead counselor at Whale Branch Early College High School, Henderson was selected as the 2012 State Educator of the Year by the South Carolina School Resource Officer’s Organization.

“She’s much more than a counselor, almost like a mom to our kids,” Whale Branch Principal Drake said when Henderson’s statewide recognition was announced in 2012. “She makes sure that students – and their parents, too – know what it’s going to take to graduate from high school and make plans to succeed after high school.”

Henderson has a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in education from Cambridge College in Augusta, Ga. She holds certifications as a school guidance counselor, family preservation counselor and military career and education counselor.

Early grade reading program successful again According to results released in July, students in six Beaufort County schools and two Jasper County schools participating in the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading Program saw increases in the reading portion of their MAP test scores.

A full 98% of Beaufort County students and 95% of Jasper County students participating in the tutoring program raised their test scores by the end of the year, with 80% of those increasing their scores by double digits.

“The scores are indicative of the success of this program in its second full year,” said Tina Gentry, United Way of the Lowcountry President and CEO. “We’re obviously thrilled with the hard work of our volunteers and the students themselves.”

A total of 309 students in St. Helena Elementary,

Joseph Shanklin Elementary, Hilton Head Early Childhood Center, Hilton Head School for the Creative Arts, Red Cedar Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, Hardeeville Elementary, and Ridgeland Elementary participated in the Early Grade Reading Program during the course of the 2013-2014 school year. Both Beaufort and Jasper County schools use MAP testing as way to assess core reading knowledge in elementary students.

The Early Grade Reading program was started in 2012 by United Way of the Lowcountry as an education initiative that aligned with a United Way Worldwide emphasis on becoming a community impact organization. The specific goals of the program are to reduce by 50% the number of students dropping out of high school in Beaufort County (currently

at 3.8%) and Jasper County (5.6%), increase to 80% the number of students reading on grade level upon entering 4th grade in both counties, and enlist 600 volunteer tutors, mentors and readers for the program.

The United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading Program employs curriculum approved by the South Carolina Department of Education and used approximately 200 volunteer tutors last year as well as over 20 AmeriCorps members who serve as part of an organizational grant. To increase capacity to serve, the need for more tutors for the 2014-2015 school year is ongoing.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Bethany Marcinkowski, Director of Education Impact in the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Bluffton office at 843-837-2000 or visit www.uwlowcountry.org

ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH There is absolutely no motion you can make with your wrist with a manual toothbrush that is going to be better than the circular motion of a rotary toothbrush.

Secondly, the small head of the rotary brush gets into tighter places than the larger head of the manual brush.

Thirdly, the average person brushes for 37 seconds. The rotary brush has a timer and if one brushes the lower teeth for a minute and the uppers for a minute, I will assure you it will be much more thorough.

Artist incorporates Beaufort history in her work Pat Schad is a book artist whose work spans the old and the new.

Pat makes origami books — handmade folded gems of brightly colored paper with covers made from original papers of her own design.

Her other specialty is altered books. An altered book is an artistic transformation of well-used and weathered old books into something of a piece of art. Pat’s altered books often contain drawers, pockets, pop-ups, hardware and other surprises. It’s no surprise that Pat’s interest in transforming old artifacts led her to her latest project.

Pat’s studio is part of Atelier on Bay, studios and gallery in the renovated upstairs of Beaufort’s historic Lipsitz Department building. During the renovation of the building, old linoleum was ripped from the floors, uncovering local newspapers dating to the 1940’s.

Knowing that she could incorporate these artifacts into her work, Pat recovered as much of the linoleum and newspapers as she could. Today, if you visit Studio 8, you can see the results.

Pat calls her latest works “Lipsitz historic journals.” Each journal is covered with patterned papers that are

holds the blank journal pages on place.

But not all pages are blank: Tucked randomly between pages you will find some of those old newspaper pages (copies, of course!) Each book is unique and a part of Beaufort’s colorful history.

Atelier on Bay is a unique studio and gallery space that offers a variety of original art for purchase, as well as the opportunity to visit with 14 different artists as they create in their studios.

Atelier is located in the heart of historic downtown Beaufort, 203 West Street, just off Bay Street and upstairs of the old Lipsitz Department store.

a lowcountry community handbell ensemble

P

almetto Bronze, an auditioned community handbell ensemble, will hold a free concert on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 4 p.m. at The Baptist Church of Beaufort, 600 Charles Street, Beaufort.

With ringers from various walks of life from all over the Lowcountry, they all share the love of handbells and communicating that love to others through a wide variety of challenging music. They work together to bring the art of handbell ringing into the public eye as a respected musical medium through concerts and education.

Palmetto Bronze rehearses weekly at Summerville Baptist Church and uses the church’s 7 octaves of Schulmerich/Malmark bells, 5 octaves of Malmark Choirchimes, their own 3 octaves of Trusonic bells, 2 octaves of Malmark bells and newly purchased lower 6th and 7th octaves of Malmark Choirchimes.

Palmetto Bronze plays concerts all over the Lowcountry during the year, including the 2014 South Carolina Music Educators Association Convention in North Charleston, Piccolo Spoleto and the North Charleston Arts Festival. During the 2013 holiday season, they played at Brookgreen Gardens, Savannah Harbor Festival of Lights and Summerville Baptist Church.

The organization also sponsors and participates in educational opportunities such as workshops in the Lowcountry and Georgia. The 2015 Lowcountry Handbell Workshop is scheduled to take place at

Hibben UMC in Mt. Pleasant on Jan. 24 with John Behnke as the clinician. In July, they were presented at a showcase concert at the Handbell Musicians of America’s National Convention in Atlanta.

They will kick off the holiday season on December 5 with a free concert at Christ St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Hollywood, SC at 7 p.m. They will be featured at Brookgreen Gardens’ “Nights of a Thousand Candles” December 18-20. Keep up with Palmetto Bronze by checking out the Facebook page and the website www.palmettobronze.com.

Palmetto Bronze is under the direction of Marcia J. Brantley who holds a BM degree from Furman University and has taught handbells for 30 years.

Before she retired from public school music, she taught handbell core arts classes for 10 years at Rollings Middle School of the Arts in Summerville.

She is currently the music assistant/pianist/ handbell coordinator at Summerville Baptist.

The September concert will include: Mozart’s “Overture from the Marriage of Figaro”, “America the Beautiful”, “Scarborough Fair”, “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, Leroy Andersen’s “Typewriter”, and several original handbell compositions. In addition, they will play a medley of songs from Walt Disney’s “Frozen” — Let it Go; Do You Want to Build a Snowman?; In Summer; Love is an Open Door; and For the First Time in Forever, arranged by the group’s own Michael Lopez and Marcia Brantley.

Straight from Italy: Touring and tasting Fattorie Melini

By Celia Strong

It’s my second week in Italy, sorry you’re all not here too. There’s so much to do and see and eat and drink. Today we’re going to have a structured and organized drink, or drinks, all courtesy of our tour and tasting and lunch with Fattorie Melini.

We will learn about the old history and grape varieties from the region we are visiting, Tuscany, and also some first-hand information about the Melini winery — its history, founders and wines.

Some of the oldest winemaking regions in the world are in Italy.

Greeks and Etruscans had vineyards here way before the Romans. There is archeological evidence that the Romans had vineyards planted by the 2nd century BC, and they spread all over the country.

Italy is now the world’s largest producer and the fifth in per capita consumption. (I have a slight suspicion that their consumption number may be lower after some of us get out of their country.) There are 20 wine regions, each with a wide range of grape varieties.

Many of these grow in more than one region, and many are indigenous to Italy.

Since we are living in Tuscany for the time being — and to save too much boredom from repeating too much from previous articles — we are going to look at the main red variety that Tuscany is known for: Sangiovese. This is the red grape that is responsible for all Chianti wines and other superb red wines as well.

(Fattorie Melini is a Chianti winery.)

The name Sangiovese means the “blood of Jove,” Jove being a Roman deity who was king of all the Gods and ruled over the sky/heavens and thunder and lighting. He was also known as Jupiter and was the main Roman deity until Christianity became the primary religion.

There are at least 14 clones of Sangiovese. Brunello is one, and others have been loosely categorized as “grosso” and “piccolo” — big and little — which refers to grape size, not the weight and body of any wine. Some of the clones make better wines when they are blended with other varieties, Chiantis being a perfect example.

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Fattorie Melini is a top level Chianti producer established in 1705 in Gaggiano di Poggibonsi, Italy.

Sangiovese is high in acidity and lighter in body. It also has fewer color compounds in its skins. Modern winemakers use low yielding vines, temperature controlled fermentations, extended maceration times, oak barrel aging, malolactic fermentation in barrels and blending in of other varieties to make better wines. When it comes to oak, Sangiovese is a sponge, able to absorb everything from the oak.

Young Sangiovese wines have fresh, fruity flavors of strawberry and a little spiciness. Sangiovese wines are very receptive to barrel aging, picking up oak and vanilla and even tarry flavors, depending on what type of oak, the age of the barrels and how long the wine sits.

Traditional Sangiovese shows herbal and bitter cherry notes. In Tuscany, and with Chiantis particularly, legal “recipes” for wines have been adjusted. With the addition of small amounts of Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), Chiantis and Tuscan red wines have achieved new heights. And great success in world markets.

Since 1996, Chianti and Chianti Classico have been, legally, 75 to 100 percent Sangiovese, up to 10 percent Canaiolo (a local red variety), and up to 20 percent of any other approved varieties — Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah.

In 2006, the use of white varieties like Trebbiano and Malvasia were prohibited in Chianti Classico. Legally, Chianti Classico must have a minimum of 12 percent alcohol and be aged for

at least seven months in oak. Chianti Classico Riserva must have a minimum of 12.5 percent alcohol and be aged at the winery for at least 24 months. The vineyard yields are legally lower for Chianti Classico by about 30 percent than plain Chianti. (There are other sub-zones in Chianti, besides Classico, but we see almost exclusively Classicos.)

Moving on to our winery, Fattorie Melini is a top level Chianti producer established in 1705. It is located in Gaggiano di Poggibonsi (sort of half way between Siena and Florence) and is carved out of a 1,000 foot high slope.

The Melini family were wealthy Florentines from the Val de Sieve. Their coat of arms included three stars for the Guelfic alliance (an alliance with Popes) and three pomegranates — symbols for sincerity, magnanimity and accord.

Their very first wine was Vermiglio, an ancient red Tuscan wine, that they sold in Italy and other parts of Europe in barrels. Of course, the barrels caused problems because the wines were not well preserved in them and they were heavy and wieldy to ship. After consulting with some of the leading experts in enology, the Melinis became more and more the leaders in innovative winemaking, storing and shipping — the whole thing.

In 1830, they also learned to heat their wines to 122 degrees Fahrenheitt — way ahead of their time on this one! (Louis Pasteur “discovered” pasteurization in 1866.)

In 1860, Melini started using the flask shaped, glass bottles, invented by Paolo Carrai, to ship their wines. I’m sure we have all had a straw-covered flask of Chianti at some point in our lives. The city of Florence gave the Melini family a gold medal in 1877, “for having established the most extensive and secure trade of Tuscan wines to foreign markets.”

And, over the years Melini continued

“What goes around comes around”

to maintain their position as a leader in Tuscan wines.

In 1900, the last Melini died and the winery passed through various owners and wine companies. They are now owned by Gruppo Italiano Vino, which moved them to their present location in the middle of Chianti Classico vineyards. They currently own about 1,200 acres of Chianti land.

And, still leading the way for others, they made, in 1969 for the first time, Melini La Selvanella Chianti Classico Riserva. At the winery today in Italy, surrounded by Sangiovese vines, way up on a hill, we got to taste the 2010 vintage of the great wine. It is made from 100 percent Sangiovese (Sangiovese Grosso). It is all estate grown grapes, fermented, followed by a malolactic fermentation and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 and more months.

Obviously, as soon as you taste this wine you know it’s not just another Chianti. “La Selvanella” is one plot of land. That means this is a vineyard designated Chianti Classico — the first ever in all of Tuscany; a very revolutionary idea when Melini made the first one in 1969. Really, this is one of the very first vineyard designated wines in all of Italy. A Grand Cru, if you like. The Riserva comes from the aging, at the winery, before we get it, but what else would we expect from such great beginnings? Also, La Selvanella is not made every year. Only the good vintages.

Sounds like vintage Champagne, doesn’t it? While tasting the 2010 La Selvanella, the question came up about how long it would age. From the winemaker’s mouth: “10 to 15 years.” A pleasant surprise, for sure.

In South Carolina, the 2007 is the current vintage of La Selvanella. It has less tannic, smoother, more developed flavors (truffle, earth, leather, red fruits and berries). This one was aged 30 months in French oak barrels. And the ‘07 vintage in Tuscany? One of the best ever. And tasted beside the 2010, it was hard work. I guess one of us has to do it. The lunch of beef filet with Chianti Classico cream sauce was perfect too.

For $27.99 you can sip this great wine.

A Grand Cru Chianti with a mere 93 to 95 point rating. Enjoy.

‘Quality is the most important ingredient in a sandwich’ at

GROUCHO’S DELI

By Pamela Brownstein

The Lunch Bunch was excited to once again dine at Groucho’s Deli on Lady’s Island. After eating here right after it opened in March, we wanted to make sure the sandwiches and salads that make the franchise so popular throughout the state were as good as we remembered. (And the verdict? They were just as good, maybe even better!)

Nikki chose the Apollo Dipper — a fat sub roll stuffed with hot ham, turkey and Swiss cheese melted together — and she said it was out of this world.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

Horsefeathers!

By Tracie Korol

Last summer an email appeared unexpectedly in my inbox. I thought it was a hoax. No such luck. Topic: Forbes magazine published an interview with Royal Canin’s president, Keith Levy. Levy was introducing the new “anallergenic” formula kibble made with ground up chicken feathers. No, really.

The title of the article was Dog Food Made From Feathers: A Win-Win for Royal Canin.

According to Mr. Levy, This “anallergenic” line was 10 years in the making, using feather meal (FM in industry parlance) as the main source of protein. It is designed for intensely allergic dogs for which even novel protein diets (buffalo, kangaroo, rabbit) don’t seem to work. There are 47 ingredients in this product. Here are the top 10: Corn starch, hydrolyzed poultry by-products aggregate [feather meal], coconut oil, soybean oil, natural flavors, potassium phosphate, powdered cellulose, calcium carbonate, sodium silico aluminate, chicory ...

The lead item in any list of pet food ingredients is, according to AAFCO regs. The Association of American Feed Control Officials is the organization that calls the shots for pet food and NOT a governmental

entity — 70% of what’s in the bag. So, most of this product is cornstarch. The next ingredient on the list is hydrolyzed poultry by-products aggregate, which is a technical name for feather meal.

According to Levy, feather meal is “not only nutritious but can also be made very palatable to dogs.” The feathers are broken down to an amino acid level, and palatizers are added for taste so it doesn’t taste of ... feathers?

Levy says one of the benefits to using feather meal is that it supports the company’s efforts in sustainability.

“Ultimately we’ll have an issue with finding protein for the human food chain. By using alternative sources of protein, we’re using something that would otherwise end up in a landfill,” says Levy. “It’s the best of both worlds: You’re not competing with the human food chain, reducing waste and providing an incredibly nutritious protein.”

Now, I’m all for recycling and all for seeking sustainable food sources, however, I cringe at the thought of my dog friends eating things that should be made into pillows or, even better, thrown out.

The question, beyond the gross-out factor, comes down to protein quality.

What would you rather feed your pet — 4 ounces of real chicken meat or 4 ounces of ground chicken feathers and corn starch? All three ingredients contain protein, but they are definitely not equal. Ounce for ounce, the real chicken provides more protein, and the protein is highly digestible and usable.

Pets can eat smaller quantities to receive the optimal level of protein when it is a digestible protein. In contrast, the ground feathers contain protein, but

in a non-digestible form, as in they’re FEATHERS. Real meat offers highly digestible protein — protein that can be easily broken down by your pet’s body.

Your pet cannot digest and cannot live on the protein contained in feathers.

It simply passes through the digestive system unused.

Levy continues, “We’re looking for lots of different sources of protein for our foods: hydrolyzed soy; we are currently researching worm meal as a potential protein source for some of our foods in China,” he told the interviewer. “Few brands are more expensive than us,” Levy bragged in the interview.

And once again, we are faced with the really naive belief that just because a dog food is at the top of the price range, it is not necessarily because the quality of the food is, too. Then, there is the added concern about sourcing in China.

And the kicker? You can only purchase the food from specialty retailers with a veterinary prescription. Add another layer of authenticity. Currently, on Chewy.com, a 19.8 pound bag of RC Anallergenic Formula runs $86.99.
