SALES TAX HOLIDAY
august 2-8, 2012
WHAT’S INSIDE?
Just in time for back-to-school shopping
T
he 13th annual South Carolina Sales Tax Holiday, which was implemented in 2000, will begin Friday, August 3 at 12:01 a.m. and tax-exempt purchases can be made through Sunday, August 5 at midnight. While providing taxpayers with an exemption on the 6% statewide sales tax as well as any applicable local taxes, the taxfree weekend also benefits in-state businesses by urging taxpayers to do their back-to-school shopping in South Carolina. During this time, taxes will not be imposed on clothing, shoes, school supplies, book bags, computers, printers, bedspreads and linens, and more. Nonexempt items during the weekend include the sales of jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, furniture, or items placed on layaway. Portable devices whose function is primarily used for telephone calls, listening or downloading music, watching videos, or reading books, are not exempt

This illegal burn was producing high concentrations of toxic smoke as neighborhood children rode their bicycles nearby.
Fighting illegal burning The Burton Fire District has responded to increasing calls for dangerous illegal burning in the Gray’s Hill area. While the number of brush fires and illegal burning has remained relatively the same as in previous years, it is what is being burned that has firefighters concerned. “People are burning plastics, carpets, treated wood, engine parts, and other items that become extremely toxic when they are burning,” stated Burton Firefighter Daniel Byrne. “There have been people burning abandoned homes. Not only is that illegal, it is outright dangerous for the entire neighborhood being saturated by the smoke.” Byrne recalled a recent illegal burn in the Stuart Point Road area where
a resident had dumped debris from a demolished home, consisting of plastics and carpeting, that was then ignited. Toxic smoke billowed for miles as local children rode their bikes nearby. Beaufort County recently adopted an outdoor burning ordinance that makes it illegal to conduct burning not in compliance with the stated regulations. Residents are encouraged to learn about the ordinance and call their local fire department with any questions; Byrne cautions that lack of knowledge concerning the ordinance regulations does not excuse you from responsibility and being held liable. Byrne also cautions that burning items other than natural vegetation could be in violation of other state and federal laws.

Beaufort Memorial Named Most Wired Hospital Nation’s most wired hospitals improve patient safety and efficiency with technology Beaufort Memorial Hospital has been recognized as one of the nation’s MOST WIRED according to the results of the 2012 Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. The nation’s Most Wired hospitals are leveraging the adoption and use of health information technology (IT) to improve performance in a number of areas, expanding and adopting IT that protects patient data, and optimizes patient flow and communications, according to Health Care’s Most Wired 2012 Survey released recently. “Being named among the Most Wired Hospitals in the nation is truly an honor,” says BMH Chief Information Officer and Vice President for Information Technology Ed Ricks. “We are continually adopting new technology to improve our quality of care, patient safety and business processes.” Beaufort Memorial, which has been named to the “Most Wired” list for 10 consecutive years, was given high marks, ranking among only six South Carolina hospitals and 215 hospitals nationwide who met all four core areas required to earn the award. Over the past year the hospital has made significant advances, including: • Implementing Computerized
Beaufort Memorial, which has been named to the “Most Wired” list for 10 consecutive years, ranked among only six South Carolina hospitals that met all four core areas required to earn the award. Physician Order Entry (CPOE) throughout the hospital to allow physicians to order tests, medications, and transmit information clearly and securely. • Connecting hospital systems to physician office Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) to ensure the availability and integrity of patient data, including lab, test and imaging results. • Virtualizing desktops so physicians and staff can securely move from workstation to workstation and quickly access patient data to make informed decisions about patient care. Ricks points out that the selection criteria is focused on what hospitals are doing to comply with “Meaningful Use” requirements designed to help hospitals provide the highest level of quality and safety. “This award underscores our commitment to investing in solutions that help create efficiencies and keep our focus on delivering quality patient care,” he says. Among the key findings this year:
• Ninety-three percent of Most Wired hospitals employ intrusion detection systems to protect patient privacy and security of patient data, in comparison to seventy-seven percent of the total responders. • Seventy-four percent of Most Wired hospitals and 57 percent of all surveyed hospitals use automated patient flow systems. • Ninety percent of Most Wired hospitals and seventy three percent of all surveyed use performance improvement scorecards to help reduce inefficiencies. • One hundred percent of Most Wired hospitals check drug interactions and drug allergies when medications are ordered as a major step in reducing medication errors “As shown by these survey results, hospitals continue to demonstrate how IT not only can be used to improve patient care and safety but it is also a means to improve efficiency,” says Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the AHA. “Hospitals receiving Most Wired

recognition are truly representative of our nation’s hospitals and systems — rural and urban, small and large, teaching and non-teaching, and critical access hospitals geographically dispersed.” Health Care’s Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their IT initiatives. Respondents completed 662 surveys, representing 1,570 hospitals, or roughly 27 percent of all U.S. hospitals.
Professor to educate on importance of veteran care Nurses spend more time with patients who are facing the end of life than any other members of the health care team. Yet, studies have shown that many nurses feel inadequately prepared to provide the comprehensive care so important at the end of life. More than 54,000 American veterans — mostly from World War II and Korea — die each month, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Hospice and Palliative Care Initiative (VAHPC) is trying the improve hospice and palliative care for them. Given that the number of Vietnam-era veterans over 65 will continue to grow through 2034, so
too will the need for hospice and palliative care in the VA system. Dr. Rose KearneyNunnery, Ph.D., RN, visiting Professor and Department Chair for Nursing at the Rose KearneyUniversity of South Nunnery Carolina Beaufort, has recently attended a national ELNEC-For Veterans “Train the Trainers” course. This two day course on end-of-life care was held in Glendale, California. This program titled “End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium — For Veterans Curriculum:
Promoting Palliative Care For Veterans” is for nurses and nurse educators working in Veteran Administration (VA) facilities or other setting caring for veterans to provide education to other nurses that is specific to the care of veterans at the end of life. This project is led by Betty R. Ferrell, RN, PhD, FAAN, FPCN (COH), and is collaboratively administered by City of Hope, The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in Washington, D.C., and the Department of Veteran Affairs. The principal goal of the training program is to provide information on end-of-life/palliative care and resources
to integrate end-of-life/palliative content to VA facilities. Course content was presented in several participatory formats including lecture, open forum discussion, small group activities, and training sessions. The training program was conducted by a distinguished faculty of researchers, educators, authors, and leaders in the field of palliative care. Topic areas included roles of the nurse in end-oflife/palliative care; pain and symptom assessment and management; cultural considerations; communication; loss, grief, and bereavement; final hours of life; and achieving quality improvement.

working behind the scenes Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 provides aircraft maintenance By Lance Cpl. John Wilkes
Aircraft maintenance is a crucial part of completing the mission of military aviation. Many different types of wrench turning, welding and programming go into ensuring Marine Corps aircraft move troops, supplies and ordnance to their target. Three different levels of aircraft maintenance exist. The first and most basic level of maintenance is operational level. “Operational level maintenance includes basic aircraft maintenance, such as replacing the simple components on an F/A-18 Hornet, and can be dealt with at the squadron level,” said Staff Sgt. Barry Roberts, avionics controller with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31. “There is a lot that goes on here,” said Roberts. “From the processing of maintenance requests and the paperwork involved, to the repair of parts, there is a lot that goes on around here.” When maintenance cannot be completed at the squadron level the part in question is sent to main parts control. Marines with PC determine whether the maintenance needed is intermediate level or depot level maintenance.
Marines with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 main parts center inventory, inspect and deal with paperwork pertaining to approximately 20-30 pieces of gear per day.
Lance Cpl. Latisha Gonzalez and Lance Cpl. Thomas Galloway, Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 aviation material screening unit Marines, inventory and inspect gear before sending it to a work center to be repaired. Each work center has a specialty and deals with all parts relating to that specialty.
“All of the parts that come from squadrons get screened and checked for improper maintenance,” said Lance Cpl. Latisha Gonzalez, a Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31, aviation material screening Marine. “The part then gets sent to the proper work center where it can be repaired.”
Your PercePtion vs. Your realitY Believe it or not, there are people on track to reach their financial goals, but the only way they know they’re on track is that they took the time for figure it out. Knowing where to start remains the first major obstacle for most people when it come to financial planning. If you never start the process you have two problems: 1. You have no idea where you are: what I call your current reality 2. You have no defined goals It’s rather hard to arrive at a destination with a trip plan that lacks a beginning and an end. Of course the other issue with having no plan is the low-grade headache it creates because you do have a sense of where you are and where you want to go, but no idea if you’re on track. We all know the feeling of lying in bed wondering if we’re going to make it. Getting started is really just as simple as taking the time and getting the help to: • Clearly define your current reality, where are you today • Put some framework around where you want to go The task of assessing future financial needs can be daunting. Often we have perceptions that,
It’s important to understand that things will change. No matter how much time we spend creating a plan it can’t capture everything about our future reality. All we’re trying to do is make the best guess we can and move on. If you understand that these are guesses (very important guesses), then you can give yourself permission to not obsess over them. Make the best guess you can with the information you have, and then commit to revisit it often enough to make course corrections long before you veer too far off course. The other wonderful thing that will happen is that often we find out that even though our perception of our future financial needs was not even close to reality, we gain a sense of control that helps us focus on living our lives NOW. In many cases, we learn that we do have enough money and time to meet our goals. It might not even be a situation of needing to grit our teeth and save more, but we never know until we take the time to plan!

Intermediate level maintenance involves more complex maintenance on components while operational level maintenance mainly concerns the removal and replacement of components. “An example of I-level maintenance may be to repair an entire switchboard whereas O-level would be to repair
a switch on the switchboard,” said Roberts. There are many different work centers that each have a specialty for: radar gear, cables, airframes, avionics, hydraulics, digital displays, communication gear, ordnance, ground support equipment, and facilities. Intermediate level maintenance can be completed by MALS-31 aboard the Air Station. Any work the Marines cannot complete at the MALS then moves to the depot level, the highest level of maintenance. “I enjoy this job very much,” said Gonzalez. “We get to see the parts come and go, so we know we are making progress.”

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.

Green Herring hosts ‘Mother to Son’ exhibit The Green Herring Art Gallery is hosting a special art exhibit called “Mother to Son” on Saturday, August 4, from 4 to 8 p.m. The show will feature two St. Helena Island native artists who just happen to be mother, Victoria A. Smalls, and son, Christopher A. Smalls. Inspired by the writings and poems of Langston Hughes and especially the poem titled “Mother to Son”, Victoria wanted to create this exhibit with her son. Victoria is a selftaught artist who has been painting with pastels for 10 years. A recurrent subject used in her paintings is that of faces with varying hues that are in a tranquil, peaceful and contemplative state. “My ‘Contemplation Faces’, will always be a focal point integrated into my paintings. They are who I am, a magnificent blend of Gullah, English and Irish,” says Victoria. Other components that make and inspire Victoria in her art work are her family, her beloved Lowcountry, her home and environment. She surrounds herself at home with the beautiful creations, paintings, photos, baskets, sculptures created by
Lowcountry artists and a must have, music. It is in this setting where she is able to create. Victoria Smalls is now the History and Culture Coordinator at Penn Center on St. Helena Island. She is the proud mother of Christopher Smalls, 19, who is a junior at Winthrop University majoring in Fine Arts. As a member of the Winthrop Chorale, he enjoys singing and music when he’s not creating artwork. He is inspired by nature, music, folk art, Gullah culture and his coastal home. Christopher loves to incorporate different mediums in his art and exploring the interaction between media. He has become known for sketching with pen and ink and painting in old books — an art form known as “Altered Books.” “When looking at Christopher’s art from the earlier years up to now you can see how he has become more sophisticated in his works, said his mother. The public is invited to attend a “meet and greet” artists reception free at the Green Herring Galley, 1001 Bay Street from 4 to 8 p.m. on August 4. For more information, call 843-812-4662.

No mistake about it — it’s summer time on St. Helena Island with heat and more heat at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery’s Annual Summer Show. Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday, August 4, from 1-5 p.m. at the gallery “Where Art is Joy”. This year’s featured artist, Shirley “SA” Hunter has been a gallery “regular” for many years. Hunter, a Florida native, relocated to the Georgia Sea Islands at age 9. Her family and The Gullah People would be instrumental as a frame of reference for the type of art she would eventually paint. She classifies her work as “family life that warms the heart” and “folk art with a twist.” Shirley’s husband, who died almost five years ago, was her major fan and inspiration. During her husband ’s illness and his subsequent death, she lost her interest and inspiration for art. She did not paint for five or six years. Motivation and encouragement from her large support system eventually moved her to return to her passion. She re-emerged to create paintings that are bursting with life and color. These new paintings are happy and delightful celebrations. Mrs. Hunter is a self-taught artist who began painting in 1995 at age 50. She says she “at first wanted to paint landscapes.” Her work quickly evolved to painting her family memories and the Gullah lifestyle. “I just kept drawing people,” she said. The renowned artist Bill Hendrix once told her, “Paint what you know and you will grow,” and grow she did. Working in oil paint she has created a wonderful, colorful and animated collection. Her style draws the viewer into the lives of ordinary people as they go about the activities of daily life. The viewer is drawn in to the point of forming a personal relationship with the subject — getting caught up in the memory and story that Mrs. Hunter so artfully depicts. Gallery owner Mary Inabinett Mack says, “It was a delightful day at The Red Piano Too Art Gallery when we learned that Shirley “S.A.” Hunter was sufficiently motivated to return to

creating her ‘Art that is Joy.’ ” A large number of “gallery regulars” will join Mrs. Hunter at the Annual Summer Show. Many of the artists are well known to the :Lowcountry art collector. They include Allen Fireall, James Denmark, Charles Desaussure, Diane Britton-Dunham, Cassandra Gillens, Irene Tison, Helen Stewart, Della Wells, Johnnie Griner, Jeffery Day, James Connor, W.J Wilkie, Victoria Smalls, Reggie Frazier, Mary Hanby, Johnnie Simmons, and Julia Neil. Demetric Denmark, Sonnell Thompson, Cassandra White, Dan Ciecelski, Toni Chireco, Tanya Craig, Bobbi Watson, Jo Watson, and quilter/musician/ p a i n t e r / storyteller Mrs. Dorothy Montgomery. Authors, always an integral part of the show, will be available to discuss and sign their books. Some of the invited authors are Pierre McGowan, H.H. “Bubba” Von Harten, Earl S. Cooler, Doctor Emory Campbell, Pat Branning, Bonnie Stanard, and Ninti and Kijani Bynum and others. Former gallery partner, Elayne Scott has returned to work at the gallery. She says, “The Summer Show provides an opportunity for the many artists exhibiting in the gallery to come together, meet, and exchange ideas.” “Many of the participating artists first exhibited their work in The Red Piano Too art Gallery and went on to be nationally and internationally recognized,” Mary Mack added. At age 75, Mack keeps the gallery open because art has been her passion for more than 50 years and because the gallery provides an opportunity for new artists to exhibit their work. The gallery is a showcase for established as well as new artists. The Red Piano Too Art Gallery began 20 years ago and has become a Lowcountry institution. The “Summer Show” serves as a public exhibit and as an appreciation day for the artists. For more information, call The Red Piano Too Art Gallery at 843-8382241 or e-mail redpianotoo@islc.net. The gallery is located at 870 Sea island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC.

A French cooking class + Asheville, N.C. — What could be a better pairing?
Under Construction
You might have seen her on “Good Morning America” or heard her on NPR. Susan Hermann Loomis is the author of nine award-winning books, including the best-selling “French Farmhouse Cookbook.” She was born in America, but lives and has a very famous cooking school in Normandy, France, (so her classes are easily understandable for Americans). She’s coming to Asheville, N.C., Sept. 1113 for a three-day cooking class that will also explore the wonderful artisan food producers of Asheville. The price for the three-day class — which includes three hands-on classes, three meals, and a field trip with samples — is $1,200. The cost for an evening class is $295. To sign up and for questions, contact cookingclasses@ onruetatin.com. To read more about Susan, visit www.onruetatin.com.

843-322-0018 Beaufort happily welcomes Elizabeth Locke & John Staelin By Lanier Laney
After many years as a dark and vacant building, the historic home on The Point called “the Castle” was recently bought by two fun and accomplished Virginians, news that has thrilled many Beaufortonians. Says Elizabeth Locke, “John and I are terrifically excited about spending time in Beaufort. My heart quite literally skipped a beat when I first saw the Castle. It was just love at first sight. And I feel the same way about Beaufort — how can you not want to live in a town where the trees have right of way over the asphalt? The people we have met
have been very welcoming and we look forward to the time we will be spending at the Castle.” A Virginia native, Elizabeth is quite a renowned designer. After getting a degree in Italian Literature from Duke and the University of Florence, she started an accessories business in Italy and later worked as a contributing editor for Town and Country Magazine for six years. She started her own design business in Virginia in 1988 to much acclaim and now all the ladies know Elizabeth’s work. Welcome to Beaufort, Elizabeth Locke and John Staelin!

Supper Society reigns supreme By Pamela Brownstein
Main Street Beaufort, USA and Historic Beaufort Foundation (HBF) presented a fabulous meal and venue at the second installation of the Supper Society last Thursday. I was unable to attend the first event, but after seeing all the amazing pictures, I made sure to get my tickets in advance for the second supper. After dropping off our baby at a friend’s house, my husband and I set off, not really knowing what to expect, but happy to be spending time as a couple. We made a stop at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island since the dinner is BYOB (Palmetto Ale for him, pinot grigio for me) and continued onto St. Helena Island. We turned down one road, then onto a long, dirt driveway that ended at Oaks Plantation, 66 Godley Road. I had ever heard of the place, let alone visited, so its beauty at first sight was captivating. Built in 1855, the restored house has gorgeous views of the marsh and surrounding waterways. The venue is available for events, and would be a perfect setting for a wedding. It was also a super setting for our supper. The guests mingled and yummy appetizers were passed around the pool. The July weather seemed oppressive at first, but with a nice breeze, good company and chilled wine, I hardly noticed the heat. Then once the food was served, I was totally captivated by the delicious dishes. Chefs Stephanie Capers of Sweetgrass Restaurant and Sherri Whitmire of Gullah-N-Geechie Mahn Tours were culinary wizards, using local ingredients to prepare an incredible tomato salad, whiskey glazed smoked pork chops and an awesome Carolina Gold rice pudding made with peaches for dessert. Before we ate, LaNelle Fabian of Main Street Beaufort explained to the 50 or so diners seated at the long tables under a tent in the backyard that the money raised will go toward grants that will help fix historic homes. “You’re here for a good cause, so enjoy your supper,” she said.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Hargray donates new backpacks to students Representatives from Hargray Communications were on hand last Saturday to distribute new backpacks and gift cards to some very deserving students at the Beaufort County School District’s “Back-to-School Expo” at Whale Branch Early College High School. Approximately 200 students will start the new school year with a brand new backpack, as well as a $50 gift
card from Walmart to spend on school supplies and uniforms. In addition, several other students received new iPads and Kindle Fires, also donated by Hargray. “This is our third year taking part as a lead sponsor of this great event,” said Eddie Andrews, Director of Marketing for Hargray. “And having the opportunity to show our support to students and families from throughout the community has made this a truly
rewarding experience for us each year.” Additional backpacks will be donated to students as part of Hargray’s Back-to-School Upgrade promotion, in which customers signing up or upgrading to 10Mbps Hargray High Speed Internet have the option of keeping the new backpack or donating it. The promotion runs through August 31. More information can be found at www.hargray.com.

Budgets, iPads, elections and school-related issues By Bill Evans
The budget has been submitted and approved by the Beaufort County Council for the 2012-13 school year. My intent here is to present some insights or background into the two primary issues that came up during the budget discussions. The millage increase met some understood resistance but, let’s shine a light on the background to the request. Although most saw the purchase of iPads as the primary reason for the increase, history for this really goes back to the last reassessment in 2009. When any governmental entity goes through a reassessment, one of the key concepts is maintaining revenue neutrality, that is, not realizing a windfall or a loss as a result of the action. In 2009, the school district, to my knowledge, was the only tax-supported organization that actually lost money; the district was rolled backed to 90.26 mills when it should have only been rolled backed to 93.26 to maintain a revenue neutral position (prior to reassessment the millage for operations was 102.6 mills). Although this had the result of forcing the board and administration to make some cuts that were probably necessary, it also meant that we lost about $3.5-$4 million dollars a year in revenue. Keep in mind that just like other governmental bodies, the school district has to absorb growth in services and mandated increases in health insurance, salaries as required by the state and other annual costs such as utilities or fuel for buses. These costs typically run between $3.5 and $6 million per year. When revenue stays the same, the district has to act just like you do with your personal accounts; we make decisions that ensure that
School

The board also appointed a fourperson search committee and asked the group to deliver a timeline to select a new superintendent. Laura Bush and Bill Evans will be co-chairs, and they 14
we are not spending more than we are taking in (although we have had to use some of our reserves for just this reason over the last several years). This year with the mandated increases from the state and continually rising costs in other areas, the district finally hit a wall in regards to cutting further the services it offers. Remember, during the last several years of lost revenue, the district has eliminated almost 200 jobs (more than 35 at the district office) and trimmed many successful or promising programs such as the reading, math and science coaches as well as the additional days at our three most challenged schools. Additionally, we closed one school and sought to consolidate others. Although the iPads were out there as the visible reason for the millage increase, in reality, it is my opinion that the district needed to try and “claw back” some of the lost millage from 2009. The point was made during the council’s discussion that this millage increase would be permanent. Keep in mind that the same rationale can be applied to the 2009 rollback which looked to be permanent as well. With a new reassessment coming up in 2013, it would seem reasonable to have the 2009 reassessment adjusted for revenue neutrality before a new millage rate is established.
Debate over iPads In regards to the iPads themselves, there is room for debate. All of us see that continuing to grow technology skills and accessibility to technology is important to the growth of our students. Those who argued against the purchase of iPads at this time made some good points. They asked if the savings and capabilities are really there yet, or if there was enough availability of eBooks to replace textbooks as a means of realizing some savings. We know that this is coming. We know that we will begin some initial savings by using less paper and requiring students to submit their work electronically. But what drove my decisionmaking was costs and available funds. We will not achieve all the potential savings this first year, but more and more, books and other expensive items will become available digitally. We had one time funds from federal sources to pay for about twothirds of the iPads now. In a year or two, the costs might be lower but the entire bill would have to be paid with general fund dollars, those raised by millage charged only to a small group within our community, or by creating more debt under capital borrowing. I understand the frustration that nonresident homeowners and commercial property owners feel about the present system for supporting the operations of the school district; I too own rental property and see the increases. However, that is a problem that needs to be resolved in Columbia. Chairman Weston Newton of the County Council has argued this point for years; his election to the Statehouse, along with
the continuing efforts by Sen. Davis, Rep. Erickson and the other members of our delegation, are the only way to fix this problem permanently. School board elections Speaking of elections, that brings me to the substantial topic of the upcoming board elections this November. Many have spoken through letters to the editor, opinion pieces and blogs about the need to make wholesale changes to the board; that is an issue that the voters will have to decide. I am encouraged by the large number of contested elections for school board that will take place through the summer and into the fall. My only charge to you, the voters, is to get to know the candidates, and I mean really get to know them. Require them to meet publicly in unbiased debates or question and answer sessions; require them to put their positions on budget, salaries, instructional programs, school choice, leadership, discipline, attendance zones, etc., in writing and out there to be reviewed, analyzed and subject to more discussion. Don’t support someone because you think you know what they may want to do. Make them tell you and then hold them to it if they are elected. After nearly two years, I can tell you it is more demanding than many think. Many of the issues are very complicated and on occasion you find yourself having to choose between two good solutions or possibly two not so good solutions. You have to think about the entire district — all 20,000 students and all 31 schools. What works well in one place may be a disaster in a different part of the county. You cannot be successful or represent the voters as a single agenda candidate.
will be joined by Earl Campbell and George Wilson. “We can’t afford to lose the positive momentum we have now in terms of improved student achievement,” said Board Chair Fred S. Washington, Jr. “We have to keep moving forward, particularly in terms of attacking the complex problem of reducing academic achievement gaps among groups of students.” Washington also tasked the search committee with outlining a process to select a new superintendent and ensuring that community input plays a
significant role. Board members praised the choice of Rosswurm as acting superintendent, saying that her knowledge of the district’s staff and academic programs, together with her knowledge of the community, would make her an excellent fit for the role and guarantee stability during the search. “I really do believe in this district, and I believe in our 20,000 students and our dedicated team of educators,” Rosswurm said. “I’ve got to say that I’m honored to have the Board’s confidence and faith that I can be an effective leader while the
Board’s search for a new superintendent is carried out.” Rosswurm’s 40 years as an educator include experience as an elementary and middle school teacher, as principal at H.E. McCracken Middle School and four years as senior advisor to the State Superintendent of Education. She also served as executive director and principal of two charter schools in Atlanta and one in Savannah. For the past five years, she has been Beaufort County’s administrative and human resource services chief.

The homecoming of Holly and Mike Jahn
I
By Lanier Laney ’ve heard the story over and over in Beaufort of people who grew up here then returned after many, many years away. There’s something about this place, the people, the beauty, the water, that places a spell on all who visit or have lived here.
Holly Healy Jahn moved to Beaufort in her teens when her military parents, Norman and June Healy, retired here. Although she had lived many places, she felt instantly “at home” in Beaufort. She became best friends in middle school and high school with Rosemary and Kevin Cuppia, along with the Dempsey family, the Kilgores, the Sanders, “and so many sweet people,” says Holly. She and Rosemary were bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. While in college in Columbia, Holly got a job at a bar and restaurant called Wits End in Five Points. One day, Mike, a liquor salesman, newly assigned to South Carolina, dropped by to show Holly his product line. “It’s not necessary to come by,” said Holly (who had a boyfriend at the time). “I just call in the order when I need it.” But persistent Mike insisted on dropping by in person again and again over the months until the day he found out Holly had broken off her relationship with the cheating boyfriend and he finally got a shot to ask her out on a date. They moved in together four days later and have been married now for almost 27 blissful years! Who says whirlwind romances don’t work?!
They left South Carolina soon after meeting for Mike’s new job in Florida, then off to the West Coast, finally settling in Paradise Valley, Arizona, for 20 years where Mike is now executive vice president for Southern Wine and Spirits, covering both Arizona and New Mexico. Supportive wife Holly raised three beautiful children. Twins Claire and Grace Jahn are 22, fresh out of college, and now working for dad in Arizona. Their son Walter, 26, started out working for dad and now is a manager for Kendall Jackson Winery. So with children now raised, Holly felt her longings for a return to Beaufort could finally be fulfilled. After renting a house for a month, two years ago, they bought a house with a dock on Baynard Street on The Point. I asked Holly what was the main thing that drew her back. “Charm, charm, charm, and the absence of people using the horn on their car!” says the vivacious Holly with a laugh. “Plus, I dearly missed all my friends I grew up with.” Fortunately Mike, a Miami native, fell in love with Beaufort’s charms too but “is confused by the fact that everyone waves
to him, even though they don’t know him,” says Holly with a smile. Now Holly and Mike “commute” between Arizona and Beaufort, with Holly spending at least 10 days of every month here. Says Holly, “We also like to spend the holidays here and bring the children, holidays seem so much more uncommercial here. There is real faith and the folks seem to see and appreciate the true meaning of the holiday. Having been on the West Coast for 25 years, the superficiality of it all tends to get very old. We both love the history in Beaufort. You just don’t see that as much on the west coast. And you cannot get a good glass of sweet tea anywhere!” Adds Mike, “We both love the sense of community, kindness of the people, and the fact that Southern hospitality really does exist.” Their plans for the future? “To escape to Beaufort as often as possible,” says Holly. “And throw more than our share of dinner parties with great friends and terrific wine!” adds Mike. So join me in welcoming two great new additions to the Beaufort “social scene,” and be sure and wave at Mike, even if you don’t know him.
Holly Jahn is proof that once Beaufort gets a hold of you ... you must return! 18

Postcards from the edges (of the country) By Jack Sparacino
I’ve enjoyed writing this column, from the silly or tongue in cheek to more serious pieces. The feedback I’ve received so far has been supportive and informative. Much of it was from people who approached me on the street or in stores. Or wrote to me from both coasts. Here are some examples, starting with the subject of the column and ending, in some cases, with my comment on the comment in italics. Random thoughts: pineapple wine. After I wondered why practically all wine is made from grapes, this note came in from the Pacific Northwest: “By the way, you can get pineapple wine in Hawaii. I had it years ago and was expecting it to be sweet but it was rather dry. I’m sure you can make wine out of any fruit that has sugar in it.” Thanks, Mr. R., good to know! Sounds like another good excuse to visit Hawaii. Biographies. “Jack, I have only a minute. That piece was SUPERIOR. No ifs, ands, or buts. Where do you get the time — away from fishing — to do all this reading?” Thanks so much, Jim. Actually, I don’t read very fast at all, unfortunately, I’m just persistent. Same with fishing, I’m more persistent (or lucky) than good. Random thoughts: grits. “Jack, nice article but you must not have had grits done right. We love ‘em and you should try again.” OK, Mrs. D., it’s on my list. Promise. What time should we come over? Time travel. “I LOVE this piece ... wild and wacky! It would be a great assignment for a history class. It would really give the teacher some insight into what the kids learned.” All of them. “Your sense of humor is like my husband’s, keep it up.” “You think like
Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in psychological and medical journals. 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.
me.” “How do you do it? Where does all that come from?” Well, imagine an old barn that’s stacked floor to ceiling with boxes of miscellaneous stuff. That’s something like my brain. I just grab a box, so to speak, take a look inside to jog my memory, and then start typing. Google really helps, too, when I only half remember something. “Just wanted to tell you how much I thoroughly enjoy reading these!! I can hear your voice in my head as if you’re reading them to me — what a trip! You have no idea how much I look forward to them.” Clamsgiving. “The steamed clams over linguine were fantastic by the way. Tried a recipe that added chorizo, clam juice, pepper flakes, and cream to the white wine and lemon juice. Just a bit of a kick, though, and with all the garlic ... well, let’s just say you want to be in the company of good friends.” I didn’t think you could ever put too much garlic in a dish! On the 10 best things since sliced bread: “Honorable mentions? HD TV, IPODs, the freezer, Gortex, flown in fresh vegetables and fruit.” “Jack, Great article. Never thought about the items you outlined. Just one thing I can do without: CELL PHONES. You take your life in your hands when you go out in the car.” “Hey, Jack, you forgot to mention all the great pharmaceuticals that are now making people’s lives better by lowering cholesterol, improving their mental health, etc. You should do an entire column on this.”
Thanks, Mr. B., I can see it now: “Pills ‘R Us”! On my New Year’s resolutions: “I think I’ll just resolve to gain weight, at least that way I know I wouldn’t give up on it by January 16. I could probably make that one last all year.” Gee, Mrs. R., Let’s introduce you to Mr. B. He may be able to recommend a weight loss (or gain) medication and one for keeping your sense of humor! On “Have a Rice Day”: “This is great! Lots of interesting facts! You reminded me of a stop that M. and I made on our trip to Louisiana in early December. We saw America’s oldest operating rice mill! You may be interested to read the history on their website, http:// www.conradricemill.com. It was really neat, and the rice was delicious!” On “Shoot to Kill”: “Good job keeping the lessons from your cancer experience simple and to the point. Hopefully it will motivate at least one additional man out there to get tested if he needs to and to catch the disease early so it can be cured.” Thanks, Mr. M., that’s really the only reason I wrote it. Let’s keep our eyes open. On the 10 greatest pop songs: “My all time favorite is “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. Good article and it got me thinking. Thanks.” “A very good top 10. I probably would have put a Beatles song in there because they were the most influential rock band of all time, in my opinion, but still a very respectable list.” “Some great songs. Just curious, was the Eagles’ “Take It Easy” considered?” Leaving out the Beatles was a calculated
risk—they were incredible. That Eagles song was a real contender. Next time we won’t fly by it so quickly. On the 10 Jack worst things since Sparacino broccoli: “#3. Mosquitoes: I’ve often questioned their assignment on the planet. Once we cure cancer, they’re next up. Call it spending on infrastructure. Less is more. Sell it. #2. Yellow linoleum floor: Just picturing it gives me the creeps. Looks so dirty you can feel it crawling. I can see half of it in my mind’s eye, but I know there is trash on the other half. I must have received more than a shot on one. Probably sat on one with a fifth of cheap vodka.” “FUN article. I enjoyed reading it.” “Agree with many of your 10 worst but have to disagree on sake. I bet you have only had the warm kind served at Japanese restaurants. Good sake will cost you at least $25 for a bottle and should be served at temps around 60 degrees. It has a very nice flavor with lots of aroma. I just had a sake tasting at my house. We did six at various price ranges and they all tasted quite different. There’s a store here that only sells premium sake, nothing else.” “We must have similar palates — I also hate sea urchin, radishes and sake! However, I am OK with fried clams. In fact, a great place for them is Bob’s Clam Shack in Kittery, Maine (the first exit off of 95 once you get to Maine). If you ever find yourself in Maine, their lobstah rolls and fried haddock are also great!” OK, Laura, that does it — we’re on our way. Maybe I should bring along some fishing gear? (Right, and also remember to breathe.) Thanks to all for your comments. I’ve really enjoyed hearing from you.
LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Cooler-stealing thief angers marathon coach
I am coaching a marathon training team for Team in Training, which is part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My runners are training to run marathons AND fundraising to find cures for Leukemia, Lymphoma and other blood cancers. Our training takes us all over Beaufort, Lady’s Island and Port Royal. So far our training has been great and we’re enjoying the beautiful scenery we have all around us, but this past weekend (on July 28), we had a cooler full of Gatorade stolen
from us. The cooler was in the parking lot of the Dermatology Associates of the Lowcountry on Lady’s Island Drive and unfortunately this is not the first time a cooler has been stolen from us. Not only are you stealing from my runners, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and from me, but your theft of this cooler caused a dangerous situation for my team. The cooler that was stolen was at mile 8 of a 12 mile run and our last hydration stop was at mile 4. That’s 8 miles without a drink in this heat! Thanks, thief, I hope you enjoyed the Gatorade! If anyone sees a blue screw top Coleman cooler marked “Team in
Training,” it belongs to my team and it’s been stolen. Congratulate that person for being a true model citizen. There is nothing I hate more than a thief! If this economy has affected you so bad that you need to steal a cooler from a nonprofit, come see me and I’ll give you the $9.97 so you buy your own cooler at Walmart. I’ll even fill it with Gatorade!
Taxpayer questions actions of City Council
Well, thank you City Council for sticking it to your taxpayers once again, this time in the form of additional
stormwater runoff FEES. My biggest objection being the fact that you call it a fee, but I still have to pay it. The way I look at it is if you make me pay something that I didn’t elect, then it’s a TAX. Secondly, I don’t feel like the stormwater project is as successful as we might be led to believe. I like being able to turn on a spigot and get water so it eludes me as to why it is the object of our stormwater projects to get that stormwater to the nearest ditch and then to the river. Let that water sink in the ground the way God intended.
WHAT GETS YOU HEATED UP? Did you get a boot on your car parking downtown or is the traffic light on your street ridiculously slow? Or would you like to thank a stranger for a random act of kindness? Here’s your chance to sound off about what you love and hate. Send your comments to LowcountryBroil@gmail.com and you could see them in our new column called Lowcountry Broil. Don’t worry: They’re all anonymous. the island news | august 2-8, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

clinics and training groups for different races throughout the year. “We’re trying to get the community more involved as a group,” Rob said. He wants to get people back into running, and he hopes the store will be a sort of headquarters for future group runs. “The location near Main Street was exactly what I was looking for. It just all came together,” said Rob. Originally from Long Island, N.Y., father and son are avid runners. And although they may be fast on their feet, they both said they enjoy the slower pace of life in Beaufort County.

Whether you’re an experienced runner trying to improve your time or a novice who wants to start walking to get in shape, the Palmetto Running Company has you covered. The new store that opened in July at 207 West Street features everything you need to put your best foot forward, from shoes to socks to shorts, all specialized to promote a comfortable, healthier run. Owner Rob Fyfe, who opened the first store in Bluffton in 2009, uses the latest technology to provide a customized process that fits customers based on their individual profiles. “What differentiates us is that we take the time with the client to put them in the right shoe,” said Rob. His son, Christian, who works at the Beaufort store, said that when it comes to running, comfort is number one, especially when it comes to finding the most appropriate shoe. Christian said it’s important that everyone feels welcome, no matter their ability, and that the store offers training programs for those interested in not just running, but walking and jogging as well. Rob looks forward to serving the Beaufort running community by starting organized group runs and providing

Familiar sounds, smells and sites By Thomas Pratt
The most memorable part of growing up in the Lowcountry is the sounds and smells. For example: The smell of pluff mud rounding Bellamy Curve at low tide on a really hot summer day; of being so hot that you couldn’t wait for the tide to come in so you would crawl out to the water on your stomach, avoiding the oyster shells; crabbing with a crab line and a chicken neck; water skiing for hours and never see another boat on Lucy Point Creek; driving all over Beaufort County in a Model A, thinking that no one knew who was driving; hunting with Clyde Priester all over Beaufort County, getting really hungry and drinking a hot 7-Up and eating vienna sausages and saltines that had been under the seat of his Jeep so long that carbon dating would need to be used to determine their age; watching Mac Bellamy, Johnny Jones and innumerable others observing the task I was performing with as
Beaufort Then & Now
This moment in Beaufort’s history is an excerpt from the book “Beaufort ... Then and Now,” an anthology of memories compiled by Holly Kearns Lambert. Copies of this book may be purchased at Beaufort Book Store. For information or to contribute your memory, contact Holly at lowcountrymemories@hotmail.com or beaufortmemories@gmail.com.
many sets of instruction as there were supervisors; learning that there was beer other than Pabst Blue Ribbon; spending endless hours with Melvin Lane hunting in the morning, skiing in the afternoon and driving over to Hilton Head at night; duck hunting at Combahee Plantation with my father; and learning how to play pool and foosball at Harvey’s Backdoor (the other stuff I learned with Clyde and the Silo crowd). The memories have never left and neither has the thought of coming back.
Many Royal Pines residents are parents as well as grandparents and when the opportunity comes along to shine a light on one of those grandchildren, I am always happy to do so. Alex Bernier is the grandson of Carol and John Clark, Wade Hampton. Alex is part of the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine. Upon his arrival, Alex was able to meet with his Medical Education Discussion (MED) group a small group with whom he will be meeting to discuss each activity throughout the Forum. Together, they participated in icebreakers and discussions to get to know each other a bit better. The participants will visit a medical school to gain some real insight into what it takes to be a medical student. The participants will learn what is expected of college students preparing Peggy for medical school and how students Chandler balance their workload and daily life as a med student. Throughout their stay, updates about the Forum are sent via e mail to parents so that the parents can follow along as Alex experiences life in the operating room by viewing a surgical broadcast of a total knee replacement. He will be able to communicate with surgeons and medical personnel in a real hospital operating room via live video conference. This interactivity allows the medical staff to communicate with the students and field questions while the procedure is being performed. A local surgeon will also be at the viewing site to offer a more detailed explanation of the surgery directly to the students. This surgical broadcast, produced exclusively for NYLF/MED, will provide Alex with a firsthand look at what it is truly like to perform surgery! Our best wishes go to Alex and his family. If you are looking for a fun night with good food and great music, stop in on Friday nights at Moondoggies in Port Royal where our Royal Pines resident Gary Stoeffler plays weekly. Our family recently hosted a McDonough Family Reunion at our house. We enjoyed the company of family members (brother) Kevin McDonough along with his wife Kathy and daughter Katie who traveled from Kentucky; (niece) Kelly McDonough Wells with husband Matthew and children Spencer, Maggie and Evan from Oklahoma; (nephew) David McKimmey with his family Melissa and Savannah from Kentucky; our son Rob with grandson Aaron from Virginia; and our daughter, Tracy, with grandson Jared from Greer. Some family members were unable to attend this year but maybe next year, since we had such a wonderful time enjoying Water Festival, Dockside and plenty of golf, beach, boat, and pool time, we may make this an annual event!

Can cancer care have an extra measure of excellence?
Just days after moving to Hilton Head Island, Laura Braun received devastating news: she had breast cancer. Laura weighed a dizzying array of options, then confidently chose the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center. She was impressed by her experienced team of specialists, their close coordination with her Beaufort Memorial breast surgeon, and the center’s Duke affiliation. Because of that affiliation, she didn’t have to go far for the latest and best care.

lunch bunch Taking sushi to the next level with creativity and superb ingredients at
By Pamela Brownstein
SUSHI SAKANA
I absolutely adore sushi. Since my first California roll at a little Japanese restaurant in New Jersey, I have been hooked. I love to try new combinations, and the rolls at Sushi Sakana are not only innovative and beautifully presented, but they taste so wonderful. Owner Monica is vivacious and friendly and goes out of her way to make sure her customers are satisfied. She served the Lunch Bunch so many amazing dishes, I was in sushi heaven. We started with a Kani salad, which is layers of cucumbers, seaweed salad, crab masago and avocados. It was so light, and each bite was different and delightful, it’s a great summer dish. Then Monica brought out her signature item: The Birthday Roll that comes wrapped in foil with a slight flame underneath. The foil opens to reveal a warm roll with crab, cream cheese and topped with spicy mayo sauce — your taste buds will be celebrating. We sampled a spicy fried salmon roll with avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce, that Nikki really enjoyed, even though she doesn’t like salmon! Next there was the Stacey roll with
Kani Salad.
Flames surround the Birthday Roll.
The beautiful Birthday Roll is revealed.
The new Ted roll includes a whole soft shell crab and five kinds of caviar.

shrimp tempura, crab, red snapper and avocado; as well as the baked Beverly roll. Then we were treated to the elaborate Richard roll: cream cheese, crab and avocado on the inside, topped with salmon, mozzarella cheese, sweet cheese, eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce, then baked. Talk
about tasty! My favorite was the Ted roll that is made with a whole soft shell crab. The restaurant is celebrating three years this month, so in honor of the anniversary, they are having a half-price sushi special from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. from August 6-11.

wine
A dessert wine perfect for all desserts in e
Bill’s
Q LI
U
O
&
R
Finally, finally, finally. As many times as any one of us has needed a wine for a dessert course, now is the first time in years that we have one for all desserts. I know that’s a big claim to make but it’s true. And imagine this — it isn’t expensive, it’s in a really pretty bottle, and some of us may even like it for other than dessert. Sounds pretty close to perfect to me. So, lucky us, here we go to learn about our newly discovered wine. It’s Italian this week. (I know, again. But let’s face it, wines that work in Italy work pretty well here too. Hot weather, lots of seafood, enthusiastic wine drinkers. Makes sense to me.) So, we’re back to Emilia-Romagna. You might remember the Lambrusco red wine from several months ago? Same region, same winery actually, but new grape variety, different style and color. And this time our wine is from a small part of the region, Modena. Modena is the name of a city and of a province. The city is located on the south side of the Po Valley. Centuries ago, when it was just a town, it was the seat of an archbishop. Now, it is best known as “the capital of engines,” automobile to be precise, because the factories of Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati were at some point all in this city. Today, all their headquarters except Lamborghini are in Modena, and Lamborghini’s is still close by. Ferrari at one point made a “360 Modena” model and one of their special colors was “Modena yellow.” In addition, Modena’s claims to fame include the University of Modena, which was founded in 1175, one of the first in Italy, and today has strong economic, medicine and law programs. The Baroque Ducal Palace, which was started in 1634, is now a military academy, museum and library For us foodies, Modena is the home of Balsamic vinegar. (Don’t forget, too, the region is Emilia-Romagna, source for Romano cheese.) And let’s not miss all the salamis, hams and meats from a very diversified Modena cuisine. One well known salami, Cotechino, dates back to about 1511 when part of Modena was under siege and its residents learned to use and preserve less than best cuts of meat. Tortellini, a little square pasta, stuffed with meat or cheese, and folded over on itself also comes from Modena. Famous people from Modena include Mary of Modena, the

Now that 1 3 2 Swe’re e a I sall l a ngood d P a rand k w ahungry, y . 5 2 2 - and 3 7 0 0well versed on Modena, let’s look, quickly, at our grape. Malvasia. This variety is thought to have ancient origins, And, if you remember, just last week it was the second grape in our Est! Est!! Est!!! wine. It came from around the Mediterranean and spread to most of Italy, usually as a blending grape. It is mostly a white variety, although there are small bits of a red version still. It makes still wines, sweet and dry and fortified wines. Its biggest claims to fame include Vin Santo, an Italian dessert wine enjoyed for biscotti dipping, and Malmsey Madeira. (Madeira is one of the Mediterranean islands the grape came from originally.) Usually, the grape grows best in dry climates on slopes that encourage good soil drainage. The vines can produce very high yields so judicious pruning is important for better grapes and wines. The white Malvasia grapes, which is what we’re doing this week, have deep color and good aromatics. So, on to our winery. Cavicchioli. The Cavicchioli family has been growing grapes in the San Prospero province of Modena for over a century. In 1928, Umberto Cavicchioli started bottling wines under his own name. Today, his two grandsons, brothers Sandro and Claudio, still work in the family business — Sandro works in the commercial operations and Claudia is the winemaker. The family is one of the largest landowners in the Modena DO with almost 200 acres. By owning this much land, the Cavicchiolis can concentrate on and control the way the grapes they use are grown — 750 ML
specific pruning systems, low yields, degree of ripeness at harvest — all planned to make high quality wines. They are best known for their wonderful Lambruscos, sweet, dry, sparkling, frizzante, red and white. (You may remember our past visit to Cavicchioli Lambrusco, a semi-sweet frizzante red wine that went so well will spicy foods?) The Modena region is the center of Lambrusco production, but we’re moving on a step for this week’s wine. Otherwise, why all the news about Malvasia grapes, right? Cavicchili 1928 Sparkling White is made from 100% Malvasia grapes grown on the Emilian hills. The “1928” part of the name commemorates the first year that the family name was used on its wine labels. This wine is light straw colored with a consistent creamy froth (the foam at the top of the glass when the wine is poured) and small bubbles. It is aromatic and perfumy, like Malvasia wines should be with apricot and peach flavors. And, yes, it is a sweeter style sparkling wine. But, let’s not get all worked up about the sweet thing. As I started out, this wine is finally the answer for anyone who needs a good, not expensive, dessert style wine. The rule is, when matching a dessert course with a wine, that the wine has to always be sweeter than the dessert. But, there is also the added problem of a specific dessert with a specific wine. It’s just as complicated as any other course, and, yet, we’ve usually had to settle for some third, fourth or fifth choice. Or go without. No fun when you’re planning a good dinner. Cavicchioli 1928 Sparkling White is our answer. It’s sweet enough for any dessert but not so sweet that we can’t enjoy a second glass at the end of the evening. The bubbles keep it refreshing beyond words. Even with just some fresh fruit, this wine can be perfect. And fun! And the bottle is beautiful. So, even if you’re not having that dinner party tonight, keep this wine’s name handy. It will be the perfect answer for all of us one day, and, finally, finally, finally, we have our perfect, perfect, perfect dessert wine. And it’s just $9.99. Sounds perfect to me! Enjoy.
The values of wine vinegar By Terry Sweeney
You know I love to cook with wine, and sometime I even put some in the food. And when I do, one of my favorite forms it takes is wine vinegar. All the way back to the Neolithic period, cave folks were messing around with fermenting grapes, no doubt anxious to get their prehistoric buzz on before having to face down giant ferocious Raptors and man-eating S a b e r - To o t h e d Terry Tigers. Who can Sweeney blame them? When those poor guys went “clubbing” it wasn’t the fun all-night barhopping we civilized Happy Winos know today, it was the real deal. We owe those early primitive winemakers a huge debt of gratitude for all the wine we take for granted today, and, not least of all, for vinegar. No doubt the first wine vinegar was the result of some poor Fred Vinstone, who, while storing his jug of wine, had neglected
to put the clay stopper in right and allowed too much oxygen in, which turned the wine sour. As usual, Fred probably spit that stuff out and blamed it on his drunk friend, Barney. But eventually he found ways to use the “bad wine.” He put it to work as a cure-all, a food preservative, and later a flavor enhancer. Like wine, the use of vinegar as a medicine began soon after it was discovered. Its healing capabilities were praised in early records of the Babylonians and that great Greek Doc of his day — Hippocrates. Nobody really knows exactly which ancient wino tossed the first vinegar on his greens, but I’d bet money he or she was French since the word vinegar is derived from the French words “sour wine.” Hey, if the French could invent fries, croissants and passionate kissing, inventing salad dressing seems like it would be a snap. Today we enjoy a vast array of red and white wine vinegars. But I found some to be far superior to others, at least to my Happy Wino palate. Here are three:
1. Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar $5.99 It’s the least expensive wine vinegar I’ve found and it’s readily available in most supermarkets. You can actually taste the grape blend of domestic red wine and imported aged Spanish vinegar. There’s even a slight hint of port hovering in the background. Not only can you use this vinegar with extra virgin olive oil for a salad, but you can also use it to de-glaze a pan for a yummy sauce to go over chicken or pork. 2. Lucini Italian Pinot Grigio White Wine Vinegar $10.99 This white wine vinegar makes for an outstanding salad dressing especially if you combine it with poached pears. Those dedicated Lucini peeps over in Italy crush the grapes immediately after harvest and let them naturally ferment. Then they are barrel-aged in fire-toasted Italian oak barrels to “balance and soften and add complexity,” say the Lucinis. And they are so right! It’s crisp and lively yet smooth and dry. I recommend adding actual Pinot Grigio to the
dressing, but just a 1/4 cup at most — save the rest for you! 3. Kimberly Artisanal Barrel-Aged Wine Vinegars from Lodi California The champagne of vinegars. As a matter of fact, they even make a champagne vinegar. What makes their vinegars so unique? The good folks at Kimberly use Old-World production methods known as the Orleans process, named after the French town of Orleans, know as the “City of Vinegars.” It is a highly distinct process that has certain stringent conditions that must be met to produce this superior vinegar. I suggest their three bottle vinegar collection — the organic Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Champagne which is $39. You can contact them at info@kimberlywinevinegars.com or call 209-334-9112. I recommend experimenting with different flavored wine vinegars. Vinegar is no longer the sour-faced sibling living in sweet wine’s shadow. Forget that saying of “attracting more flies with honey.” Who the heck wants to attract flies anyway? Here’s a new saying: “If life gives you vinegar, make vinaigrette!”

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol 10 HEALING HERBS FOR HOUNDS AND HUMANS
#5: Burdock, more than the burrs A massage therapist friend of mine has a houseful of Irish wolfhounds. She decorates her office with photos of her canine family. While on her table one day I noticed photo of one of her dogs, a fullbody profile, covered in socks head to tail. Socks? The story: after a run in the fields, Seamus came inside and flumped down on the pile of dirty laundry. Later, when he sauntered into the living room, covered in socks, my friend realized that underneath the socks, he was also completely covered in burrs. Combing out burrs is usually a dog lover’s introduction to burdock. (Burdock was the inspiration for Velcro fasteners!) But beyond being a grooming aggravation, as an herbal remedy, burdock (known also as gobo root or Arctium lappa) has been used for centuries to treat a host of ailments. It is in the daisy family of biennial thistles. This means it blooms and flowers every two years. It grows by ditches and watersides and by the highways almost everywhere. Medicinally, burdock root is thought of as a ‘liver herb’ used as a tonic for its
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.
immune-strengthening capabilities. It has been used for centuries as a diuretic and to clear the blood of toxins by stimulating perspiration. When applied topically, it is used to relieve certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis, acne and eczema. Burdock is also being used to lower blood sugar, to treat digestive troubles, minor skin infections, colds, sore throat, flu, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis and to stimulate bile production. Historically, burdock has also been used to treat cancer. In 2006, researchers at the Institute Natural Medicine at Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University in Japan noted that arctigenin, found in burdock, inhibited cancer cell viability.
Both, the fresh, grated root or the mashed fresh leaves can be applied as a poultice to wounds, bruises and badly healing sores. Simultaneously, a tea or decoction of the root can be used internally to facilitate inner cleansing and support liver and kidneys. Burdock root and nettle root extract are said to be helpful to prevent loss of hair. As a staple in Japanese and macrobiotic diets, burdock is eaten as vegetable — it tastes somewhat like a parsnip, can be prepared as any tuber, and dogs usually enjoy the slightly sweet flavor. If I don’t feel like harvesting my own, I can occasionally find fresh burdock at upscale heath/grocery stores and frozen, at Asian markets. It’s low in calories and
rich in trace minerals including potassium, phosphorous, chromium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, silicon, zinc, thiamine and sodium. It’s a very healthy food. Burdock also contains inulin, the latest health food craze. Currently, inulin is promoted primarily as a pre-biotic and as a fiber supplement. Prebiotics are defined as: non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon, and thus improve host — you, your dog — health. Burdock help to “coordinate” the metabolism so that everything is working “in sync”. The result is a generalized improvement in the body’s metabolic functions, which in turn increases the efficiency by which nutrients are absorbed and energy is used. This increased efficiency allows us, and our Best Friends, to more fully experience the vibrancy of well-being. A caution: If you are allergic to plants in the daisy family, like ragweed and chrysanthemums, you may also have an allergy to burdock.
