Legal community mourns passing of Ron Motley South Carolina suffered a tremendous loss last week with the passing of Ron Motley, an attorney who dedicated his entire career to promoting and protecting public health. Motley was a Past President of the South Carolina Association for Justice (SCAJ) and a leading figure in the profession for over four decades.

“The significance of his loss to the entire legal community cannot be overstated. Ron’s style was unique and determined, making him a strong force in the courtroom. He helped thousands of individuals during his career as both a lawyer and an activist.

Visionary and pioneer are the best words to describe Ron. His passing marks the end of an era,” said Rod Jernigan, President of SCAJ.

Senator asks public to share photos Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) asked South Carolina residents to share their pictures of the state’s beautiful landscapes and historical sites for use as his new Facebook Sen. Tim Scott Timeline Cover Photo.

The Senator’s cover photo will be changed frequently as part of a “This is Our South Carolina” theme, with each photographer being recognized in a post on the Senator’s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ SenatorTimScott).

“This is our South Carolina, and it has some of the most magnificent scenery in the world,” Scott said. “I am looking forward to using my Facebook Cover Photo as a way to showcase our landscapes and historical sites. I hope photographers young and old from throughout the state will share their images, giving Facebook users the opportunity to see just what South Carolina has to offer.”

Those interested in sharing their photos should attach their picture in an email to photo@scott.senate.gov, and also include their name and city of residence.

If possible, photos should be resized to 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. If not, some cropping and/or resizing will be performed by Senator Scott’s office before posting.

NOTE: Individuals submitting a photo are also giving their permission for the photo to be placed on the Senator’s Facebook page. There is no compensation for submissions that are used. Lewd, offensive or otherwise inappropriate photos will not be considered.

From humble beginnings in North Charleston, Motley first made his mark by boldly fighting for the folks who would frequent his father’s Amoco station: the blue-collar workers of Charleston’s shipyard and pulp-andpaper plants. Working on behalf of multiple Attorneys General, Motley pursued pioneering litigation to seek justice for shipyard workers who were unaware that cigarette smoke and asbestos were a lethal combination.

After his landmark victories against the tobacco industry, Motley steadily grew to become an internationally recognized U.S. trial lawyer -- one known as much for his zeal and creativity as his legal skill in the courtroom. Over the years, Motley not only helped establish a complex civil

litigation firm, but he has also tackled cases and invested heavily in litigation against daunting opponents, including the alleged funders of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

He was known for his fearless leadership, intolerance for defeat, and commitment to safeguarding the rights of those harmed. In the 1999 film “The Insider” he was depicted as a heroic litigator taking down arrogant corporations.

Motley was the 2013 recipient of the SCAJ Founder’s award, an award that is not given every year, and rigorous criteria must be met. His firm, Motley Rice, is one of the nation’s largest and most respected. His full biography can be found at: http://www.motleyrice. com/attorneys/view/ronald-l-motley.

Wheat: It does a body good?

Last month I had company and served up a quick meal, that included my roommates frozen biscuits. I had forgotten how good they were!

So when I replaced his, I bought some for me too. I just couldn’t resist.

Then I spent a few days outside of my own element, wherein sandwiches, “on white bread,” were the rule of the day. I was shocked at how much wheat I was ingesting, compared to vegetables--or anything really.

Many cultures in the world revere carbs in the form of bread, rice, or corn. Or for some, it’s simply all they have. But I knew better than to eat that much of a cereal grain…wheat in particular.

One, bread, my carb of the month, turns to sugar easily. Two, it’s nutrient deficient. And three, as noted in my last article, on occasion, it contains wood dust. But so does your average package of pre-shredded cheese, along with many other beloved pre-packaged foods. Check your labels for “cellulose.” (http://www. cracked.com/article_19433_the-6most-horrifying-lies-food-industryfeeding-you.html) Aside from these facts, cereal grains, due to their very nature, may inhibit the metabolism of what few nutrients there are in today’s average slice of bread. In addition, it is suspected that

One, bread, my carb of the month, turns to sugar easily. Two, its nutrient deficient. And three, as noted in my last article, on occasion, it contains wood dust.

But so does your average package of pre-shredded cheese, along with many other beloved pre-packaged foods. Check your labels for “cellulose.” cereal grains may cause autoimmune reactions in more people than current statistics suggest (1 in 133).

Dr. Mercola, renowned advocate for a healthy life-style, tells us that, “Plants produce chemicals to defend against predators, such as insects and birds. These secondary metabolites

may protect the plants but they can have negative effects on human metabolism.” He explains, “Lectins, which are proteins that are widespread in the plant kingdom, are recognized as major anti-nutrients of food.

Cereal grain lectins are wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). It can interfere with digestive/absorptive activities and can shift the balance in bacterial flora shown to cause problems with normal gut metabolism. The potential to disrupt human health is high.”

It has been suggested that WGA, wheat germ agglutinin, can be found in even higher concentrations in whole wheat or sprouted wheat, the “go to bread” of the health conscious.

So, what to do?

One, breast feed your children. Dr. Mercola quotes a study (Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism 45:4:2001, 135-142) wherein the authors, “performed a case control study of 250 children and found the risk of developing celiac disease {gluten intolerance}decreased significantly by nearly 2/3 for children breast-fed for more than 2 months. The age at first gluten introduction had no significant influence on the incidence of celiac disease. The authors concluded that a significant protective effect on the development of celiac disease is offered by breast-feeding.”

Prostate health seminar offered In recognition of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Beaufort Memorial Hospital will present “The Man Plan: Taking Control of Your Health,” a discussion on men’s health issues, at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Sun City’s Magnolia Hall. ollowing a reception at 4:30 p.m., BMH board-certified urologist Dr. Michael Staley will discuss the latest advancements in men’s health care and offer advice on PSA screenings, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and low testosterone.

“These are issues that affect most men as they age,” said Staley, who joined Beaufort Memorial’s medical staff and Coastal Carolina Urology Group this summer after spending 13 years in private practice in Asheville.“There’s no reason to suffer with the symptoms when there are available remedies. You just have to talk to your doctor.”

Staley also will be discussing the latest technology in the treatment of

4

prostate cancer, including robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery. A graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Staley is currently the only physician performing the state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure in Beaufort County, using the hospital’s advanced daVinci Si Surgical System.

For patients who are candidates for surgery, robotically-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is the most advanced treatment option. Operating through several tiny holes in the abdomen, surgeons can remove the cancerous prostate while attempting to preserve the vital nerves and arteries that control bladder and sexual function.

The men’s health program – part of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s “Life Lived Better” seminar series – is free and open to the public. Spouses and partners are encouraged to attend, but registration is required. Call (888) 522-5585.

Too late, you weren’t breast fed, and neither were your children? For general purposes: 1. when making sweets or quick breads, you may substitute non-cereal grains such as Amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat flour (not useable for leavened bread products). These three grain-like seeds are gluten free and unrelated to cereal grains.

Despite its name, buckwheat is not a wheat-relative. Nut flours or bean flour are also wheat substitutes.

2. If you could never see yourself giving up “gravy” or other sauces, you may substitute potato starch, arrowroot powder, or tapioca as a thickening agent in place of regular flour.

If, however, you have digestive issues or suffer from allergies, a classic autoimmune reaction, Dr. Mercola suggests looking, “at your family members and your family history for clues about dietary problems. Adjust the ratio of cereal grains to meat, vegetables, and fruits and see if the adjustment has physiological and psychological effects.”

In conclusion, he advises, “above all, eat a varied diet and not too much of one thing. And, finally, exercise regularly and with vigor.”

Amen.

Participants sought for focus groups to improve end-of-life care End-of-life care: there’s only one chance to get it right, for patient and for caregiver.mBut “right” means different things to different cultures, and a new study aims to define and address the differences.

As part of the study, researchers at the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina will first identify the kind of care that’s most helpful to and appreciated by two populations—African-Americans and Caucasians—and then work to make it available to seriously ill patients in rural communities with limited medical access.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital has been selected to participate in the palliative care study, which is the first of its kind.

The hospital is now seeking area residents to share their experiences as end-of-life caregivers in two-session focus groups to be held in September.

Focus group participants must be African-American or Caucasian and have cared for a family member or other loved one 60 or older who died within the last year. The caregiving must have taken place in the Lowcountry.

Participants will receive a $20 Walmart gift card and a $15 gas card for each focus group session they attend.

Palliative care focuses on preventing and relieving the suffering of patients in all disease stages, including those

the island news | august 29 - september 4, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

undergoing treatment for curable diseases, those living with chronic diseases and those nearing the end of their life.

Although it has been shown to reduce patients’ symptoms, alleviate pain and reduce hospital costs, palliative care is not available in many geographic areas of the country, especially in rural sections of the southern United States.

“We’re excited to be on the forefront of a new study that has the potential to improve care not only for residents of our own rural communities, but also for patients all over the country facing life-threatening illnesses,” said Beaufort Memorial Cancer Program Director Connie Duke. “We will be serving as the test case for implementation of the program.”

Focus groups will be held at USCB, Beaufort College Building, 801 Carteret Street.

Group A will meet Tuesday, Sept.

17, 5:30-7:45 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept.

24, 6-7:45 p.m. Group B will meet Thursday, Sept. 19, 5:30-7:45 p.m., and Thursday, Sept. 26, 6-7:45 p.m.

Sandwiches, snacks and beverages will be served.

To participate in the focus groups or for more information, contact Cindy Coburn-Smith, 843-522-5835 or ccoburns@bmhsc.org, Beaufort Memorial Hospital Community Health Improvement. Contact deadline is Sept. 15.

College tips

By State Farm

Sending your son or daughter to college is an experience that comes with exhilaration, stress and a measure of anxiety.

Relieve some of that worry by giving your young adults pointers for keeping themselves and their belongings safe while they’re away from home.

Tips for Students • Tour the campus during the day to familiarize yourself with the facilities and the locations of emergency phones.

• Tell a friend or roommate where you’re going before venturing out.

• Avoid leaving your electronics, school bag or other belongings unattended.

• Report suspicious people or vehicles to campus security.

• Avoid walking alone on campus, especially at night. If you don’t have someone with you, call security and request an escort.

• Travel along well-lit paths around campus rather than taking shortcuts through side streets and alleyways.

• Be alert to your surroundings.

Remove your headphones and pocket your phone.

• Keep your keys out when walking to your vehicle, dorm or apartment.

• Purchase pepper spray and a whistle to attach to your keychain or store in your bag.

• Lock all doors and windows when you’re sleeping or away from your room.

6

the island news | august 29 - september 4, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

• Never invite strangers into your apartment or residence hall.

• Take an inventory of the items you bring to school. Valuables should be left at home.

• Document the serial numbers on your electronics. Knowing these numbers could make the items easier to locate if stolen.

• Follow your residence hall’s policy for cooking, extension cords and candles.

If candles are permitted, keep a close eye while they burn and never leave a candle burning when you are not in the room.

• Only drink if you’re of legal age, and do so responsibly. Pour your own beverages, keep track of your glass and arrange for a designated driver or taxi to take you home.

Tips for Parents Before the school year starts, talk to your State Farm® agent about your student’s insurance needs.

• A personal articles policy can provide additional coverage for electronics, musical instruments, sports equipment and more.

• Renters insurance can help protect against property loss and liability in offcampus housing.

If your student will be taking a vehicle to school, make sure he or she is adequately insured. Remind your student that insurance rates may be impacted negatively as a result of traffic violations—and positively with potential discounts for good grades.

George Stewart ‘At Ease’

War Hero Moves to Port Royal To Be Close to Parris Island

In his book he writes, “ I am a small part of the ‘Greatest Generation.’ and it’s been an amazing experience.” My generation has seen so many changes. We have been around for the good times to the world’s greatest depression, lived through gas or kerosene lamps to electric lighting, slow moving horses and buggies to luxury automobiles, speed trains, and airplanes. We’ve been here from walking almost everywhere to getting radio and television and then landing on the moon. I could go on. My hope is that our next generation will do as well and maybe even better.”

So is George happy that he moved back to Port Royal to River Oaks Assisted Living?

Correcting common misconceptions about Montessori Education Misconception: “Montessori is just for preschool children.”

Truth: Although most Montessori schools in the United States are preschools, Montessori programs are designed for levels from birth through high school.

Misconception: “Montessori is just for special learners—the gifted or the learning-challenged.

Truth: While the Montessori Method is highly effective with both learningchallenged and gifted learners, it is designed to ensure success for all children.

Misconception: “Montessori schools are religious” Truth: Though some Montessori schools have a religious component to their program, the majority are independent of any religious affiliation.

Misconception: “Children are unsupervised and can do whatever they want” Truth: The Montessori Method gives children the power of “free choice of purposeful activity.” That means the children learn how to use materials through lessons in an environment prepared by a Montessori-certified teacher. The teacher may intervene and redirect the child either to more appropriate materials or to a more appropriate use of the material only if the child is being destructive or is using materials in an inappropriate manner.

Misconception: “Montessori is a cult” Truth: Montessori is part of mainstream education. Loyola University and New York University are two of the growing numbers of universities offering graduate-level programs in Montessori education. Montessori’s popularity in public schools increases annually.

Misconception: “Montessori is against fantasy; therefore, Montessori stifles creativity” Truth: Instead of being against fantasy and creativity, Dr. Montessori found that children prefer activities providing practical experiences that fulfill their inner needs. The “freedom with guidance” approach to learning encourages creativity in problem-solving though fantasy play initiated by the child.

This approach is considered healthy and purposeful. Additionally, art and music activities are integral parts of the Montessori classroom.

Misconception: “Montessori pushes children too far, too fast” Truth: The Montessori philosophy allows each child to develop at his/ her own individual pace. Montessori teachers never push children toward anything. Children often excel far beyond traditional expectations for their age levels simply because young children are capable of far more than what we generally expect.

Misconception: “Montessori is outdated” Truth: Current scientific research and evaluations confirm Montessori’s insights.

Misconception: “There is no play in Montessori” Truth: The children at the 3-to-6year-old level do not really distinguish between work and play. Their work in the Montessori classroom is their play.

Misconception: “Montessori discourages children from working together” Truth: Children in Montessori classrooms have a choice to work alone or in groups as long as they are not disruptive to other students.

Lavon explains his outlook on music and his name: “It’s pronounced LOVE-ON. We love the music and the people it touches. Share the joy and love of the people and the music.”

Saturday, September 28: A Trio of Blues Masters Walter, Eleanor and Andy all apprenticed with known tradition bearers, trading their time for the old guys’ wisdom. All have taught that

material for over a generation. What they do together has all the power they can muster from the old guys added to their own strengths as players and singers. That’s considerable.

Walter hung with Etta Baker and accompanied Son Thomas over a period of 25 years, while Eleanor is famous for her ‘House Party’ film featuring most of the major Piedmont style players at that time. Andy was lead boy for a series of blind players for more than 30 years, until they all passed.

They are the tightest of loose ensembles, at times backing one another commandingly, and at others leaving well enough alone.If it sounds as if they’ve been playing together for years, it’s because they have.

Enjoy the distinctive sound in the hands of these three. Andy Cohen is a blues guitar player and ethnomusicologist from Memphis.

Walter Liniger is known as the Blues Professor and is based in Columbia. He plays guitar and harmonica.

Eleanor Ellis is a native of Louisiana, and was nominated for a 2012 Wammie award for Blues/ Traditional R & B Female Vocalist.

She has performed at clubs, festivals and concerts in the United States, Canada and Europe, including with gospel street singer Flora Molton and bluesman Archie Edwards, and sometimes accompanied Delta Blues great Eugene Powell. She is a founding member of the DC Blues Society and the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation.

Bob Burtman, of the Spectator in Chapel Hill, N.C., wrote, “More than copying one artist or another, Ellis distills the elements of the originals and transmits them, intact, in her

own expressive way … beautifully sung and thoroughly believable.”

The Baby Diaries: It’s worth it all When my husband and I first started dating, we came home one day and discovered a bouquet of flowers on our front porch that had been delivered to the wrong address. The note attached simply read: “ITS WORTH IT ALL. XOXOXOXO.” At the time we thought it was funny. Today, seven years later, we still have the note, and it has become an inside joke between us. (When times are stressful or hard, we like to say, “Remember, babe, it’s worth it all!”)

This phrase seems particularly appropriate for us right now as we welcome home a baby girl, Selah Mary, and become accustomed to life with a newborn and a 19-month-old toddler, Wolfe.

I find it amazing that even though Wolfe and Selah are so close in age, not even two years apart, I had already forgotten about the specific needs of a newborn — especially being on-call at all hours of the night. This was hard with one baby, but we’ve found it even more challenging with two. Fortunately, Wolfe has always been an excellent sleeper. Once we put him to bed in his crib, he usually sleeps through the night, and has since he was about four months. But he still has his moments, as we realized this past week when I was up tending to Selah, and my husband Daniel had to go pacify a distraught Wolfe. At one point, as the clock read some ungodly hour, we both ended up in the dining room, each with a crying child in our arms. If we weren’t so tired, we would have been laughing, but instead it was a snarky exchange that went something like, “Is this what we signed up for?”

Selah also makes Wolfe look like a giant — I swear that kid gained five pounds during the two days I was in the hospital, I felt like he could barely pick him up.

The difference is especially apparent in the size of their diapers, hers look teeny tiny.

A lot of people have asked me how Wolfe is adjusting to having a new baby sister. I guess you never know how the

older child will respond, just like you’re not sure how your dog will respond when you bring the first baby home.

Luckily for us, our black lab, Lefty, has been good with our growing family (although I’m sure she feels somewhat neglected since so much of our energy now is focused on babies). And also Wolfe is very sweet and excited about his sister. His favorite new word is “bay-BE” and he’s constantly monitoring her location. He touches her gently — most of the time — and has learned how to help mom and dad with the baby’s bottles. His behavior has actually been better than we anticipated, and I’m sure some of that will eventually change, but it also shows how mature he’s becoming, and he’s not our Little Boo anymore.

One of the things I have learned is that time moves fast and some memories are ultimately fleeting. It feels like our transition from carefree newlyweds to responsible parents occurred before we even knew it, so it is important to cherish the time we get to spend with our little humans.

When my baby girl tilts her tiny head my direction and opens her eyes wide when she hears my voice, the voice she’s listened to these past nine months, I am filled with a love that is so complete. I want to kiss her sweet face all the time (well, except when she’s crying, then she turns into an angry raisin face).

I realize now why parents are able to love their kids unconditionally and forgive so many transgressions as they get older: They remember all the times when they rocked their babies or gazed at their innocent sleeping faces or caressed their wrinkled little hands and marveled that they created something so perfect.

the island news | august 29 - september 4, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

Wolfe, Dad and Selah dancing. It’s moments like these that make it worth it all.

So when both babies are up crying at 3 in the morning, I have to remind myself that the exhaustion is just temporary; I know ultimately that taking care of my kids, having us all together and healthy and the well-being of my family is worth it all.

The future of Marine Corps Aviation, the F-35B

T

he Military Enhancement Committee (MEC) of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce had an incredible opportunity recently to meet with members of Congress, representatives of Lockheed Martin and a unique opportunity to meet and talk with Lt. Gen. Robert E. Schmidle, Jr., USMC, Deputy Commandant for Aviation.

The committee was able to discuss several topic areas and at the request of the committee, Gen. Schmidle approved an F-35B fly-in for a public viewing. On August 20th, (2) F-35B, Lightning II’s, split the runway at MCAS Beaufort and gave both military and community leaders a first hand look at the future of Marine Corps aviation.

Community and military leaders were treated to an up close look at the aircraft.

Lt. Gen. Schmidle reported the first F-35Bs for VMFAT-501 would arrive in Beaufort by the summer of 2014. When asked about the possibility of the Marine Corps building an Auxiliary Landing Field, Gen. Schmidle responded he would like to see it happen, but there was no long term plan in place. He also applauded and strongly supported the community’s joint effort with DoD to protect the Air Station from encroachment.

On the subject of a possible BRAC, Gen. Schmidle stated the Marine Corps was making a long term commitment to MCAS Beaufort in bringing the F-35B to “Fightertown”. With both training squadrons

A Message from the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce

being located in Beaufort, “Fightertown” will be the initial training home for all future Marine F-35 pilots. Beaufort is truly poised to be the Center of Excellence for the Marine Corps F-35B program which will solidify our role in the national defense mission, and will be a positive impact not only to our local economy but also to any potential future BRAC. The often asked question of the “need” for the F-35B in Beaufort was answered in the affirmative by senior Marine Corps officials during their strategic planning and formulation of a basing plan. As a result of the December 2010 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Beaufort was selected to be the home of two F-35B training squadrons and three F-35B operational squadrons.

Likewise, questions of noise, health, and safety are often cited as detractors to the plane. These topics were also addressed in the EIS prior to the decision to bring the F-35B to Beaufort. A comprehensive “Noise Test” on the F-35 was done at the Edwards AFB lakebed acoustic test range and the noise levels were found comparable to or less than current Navy aircraft. The F-35B has already been operational at Eglin, AFB and

at MCAS Yuma.

The detractors of devalued property, health concerns and degradation of quality of life are simply not supported by objective data or the communities that are within three miles of the bases that are currently home to the F-35B. To imply that the Marines don’t have a “stake” in these basic human concerns is simply irresponsible. Marines, Sailors, DoD employees, civilian contractors, etc. all live, work, raise families, buy real property, and pay taxes in Beaufort County. We all have a stake in our community, our national defense and a strong local economy. The cornerstone of the success of our bases is the forging of an impenetrable bond between our bases and our community for the greater good of all. Special interests should not usurp national security and defense readiness.

The future of Marine Corps Aviation, the

F-35B, is coming to Beaufort. The decision has long been made and our continued goal should be to strengthen the unique bond between our community and our local bases to ensure the continued growth and viability of our bases and our economy.

The economic impact of our bases on our local economy is approximately $1.5 billion a year. The loss of any one base in this area would be a devastating blow to our national security mission and our local economy. The volunteer members of the MEC all live, work, vote, own property, pay taxes and have raised or are raising families in the Beaufort County area. They volunteer countless hours to ensure the existence and growth of our local bases through collaboration with the State of South Carolina, other local communities with military bases in South Carolina, and our local Congressional Delegation.

Lola. L-O-L-A. Lola.

By Celia Strong

And here we go again. A new good wine with a fun name. That just begs for us to start singing. And a great new bottle. Totally reusable for all kinds of things. How much fun is this going to be? Singing, drinking, recycling.

We have to wonder what we’ve done to deserve all this. But, then, does it really matter? Don’t think so. So, we will move on.

An interesting name for our winery this week. Lady Lola. The wine is from Italy, and more on that in a moment, but the name “Lola” seems to have a Spanish derivation. Seems it is the shortened form of the name “Dolores.”

In Spanish, “Dolores” means “sorrows” and comes from the title of the Virgin Mary - “Virgen Maria de los Dolores” or “Our Lady of Sorrows.” “Lola” can also be a short form of the German name “Aloisai,” and it is also common in Africa. The name “Temilola” means “wealth is mine” and the name “Damilola” means “prosper me.” A way happier meaning for the short form, “Lola.”

Even though, historically, the name started with the Virgin Mary, time has played with its meanings. Now, there are several sensual meanings associated with “Lola.” In some baby name books, there are references to “Lola” being the Devil’s best home wrecker. (A reference to the song “What Lola Wants, Lola Gets” in the musical “Damn Yankees.”). And, too, there is “Lolita,” the diminutive form of the name. For many of us, because of where we were and what we were doing in 1970, The Kinks’ song “Lola,” about a young man and a transvestite named Lola, gives us plenty of background with this name. “Walked like a woman and talked like a man.”

Some parents have even named their daughters Lola. Hmmmmm. Sorrows or prosperity? Let’s see.

Our Lady Lola comes from northeastern Italy. The Venezie area.

This area contains four of Italy’s 20 wine regions — Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezie Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Veneto. If you

24

drink any Italian Pinot Grigios at all, you probably recognize one these regions from you bottle’s label.) For wines, the diversity of cultures in this part of Italy means their wines are noticeably different and unique from each other. The phrase “tre Venezie” or “ Triveneto,” (literally, the three Venices) that appears on some labels refers to to the three sub-regions of just Veneto. And how complicated is that?

Historically, they were all part of the Venetian Empire. The Verona region, which includes the beautiful Lake Garda, is home to the white wine Soave and the red wines Bardolino and Valpolicella. And let’s not forget Amarone, really just Amarone della Valpolicella, a big, heavy red.

The Trentino-Alto Adige region is mainly German speaking and, when you study this area or travel there, it is easily apparent that Italy was unified into one country from twenty smaller, distinct countries/empires/ fiefdoms. Most of the wines from Alto Adige are exported to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. But, the rest of the world, including the United States, gets lots of varietally labeled wines from here. Particularly Pinot Grigios, followed by Chardonnays, Pinot Biancos, Sauvignon Blancs and Gewurztraminers. The Friuli-Venezie Giulia sub-region was originally known for its red wines. In the last twenty years, though, they have become the source for many Italian white wines. Again, Pinot Grigios lead the pack, followed by Pinot Biancos, Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs.

Slovenia is the eastern border of this area, and the districts of Collio and Collio Orientali make some of Friuli’s very best wines.

Wines from the Venezie are labelled “della Venezie.” An IGT level, this is one of Italy’s best known wine appellations. Most of the wines from here are crisp, light bodied Pinot Grigios. In fact, seven out of every ten bottles from here is Pinot Grigio.

(It would be interesting to know how many of every seven come to this country.) And the name “Pinot Grigio” means more than just the grape variety. It is also come to mean the style of wine made here. Light, crisp, not too serious. This style of wine is so successful that other varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay (all increasing in popularity with Italian growers) have not found as strong a foothold (vine-hold?) here as in other regions throughout the rest of Italy. Even the Garganega grape, that makes the wonderful Soave wines in the Veneto area, is only two percent of the total grape plantings. Sorrows and prosperity. L.O.L.A. Lola.

So, now we come to our wine. Lady Lola Pinot Grigio. First off, we can’t miss noticing its bottle and stopper.

The bottle is shaped more like a decanter than a regular wine bottle.

And it has a wooden stopper instead of a cork.

So, of course, all kinds of ideas for how to use the bottle, after we’ve drunk the wine, come to mind. Flavored

the island news | august 29 - september 4, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

oils, bath salts, homemade liqueurs, all kinds of second uses. Personally, I think if you start now you could have enough bottles for gifting at Christmas time. Beyond the great bottle, though, we do come to this Pinot Grigio wine.

Our winemaker is Michela. She was born in Tuscany, where her father and grandfather were both grape growers.

With this background, and her passion for traveling, Michela ended up making wine in the della Venezie area. Prosperity?

The Pinot Grigio grapes for Lady Lola are grown in vineyards located in the hills of the Venezie, where the climate gives them warm days and cool nights. That gives the wines from these grapes enhanced, complex aromatics and zesty, crisp acidity.

When harvested, the grapes are pressed gently to maintain the fruitiness for the wine. The juice is fermented cold, also to enhance the wine’s fruit flavors, and then the wine is stored, with its yeast, in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Remember the phrase “sur lie” aging? It adds flavor complexity to wines. More prosperity?

The Lady Lola is one hundred percent Pinot Grigio. This wine pairs well with pasta dishes, especially those with seafood, tomatoes and tomato sauce, fresh salads, white meat dishes. Also, it goes well with warm afternoons and old songs. L. O. L. A. (Singing again?)

For $10.99. (Now you’re singing?)

And, there is our new wine for this week. Don’t let the different bottle dissuade you from trying it. We can be so jaded in our thinking. Must be not so good a wine because the bottle is so pretty. Maybe, you get both a good wine and a pretty bottle.

Prosperity? One question still to look at. Why the name? Lady Lola?

Guess what? I have no idea. Which means we can each come up with our own version of where it came from.

So, here’s my game. The first one of you to give me a good reason, that I can make my own, gets a free bottle?

Of Lady Lola Pinot Grigio. Another pretty bottle for one of you. And a good wine. Enjoy!

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

Wandering the allergy maze: Part One

By Tracie Korol

The more I think I know about dog allergies, the more I read and learn, the more experts I consult, the more confused I get. Nothing I try therapeutically works with all my clients: some get better with minimal effort; other finally respond to the third or fourth protocol; and some become an on-going project using allopathic and holistic methods in tandem.

While the dog scratches on, it feels like the three of us—the dog, the dog’s human and I—are stuck in a maze, stumbling about until someone finds the pathway out. While there are general rules that can lead us out of most mazes, each allergic dog has its own unique set of concerns and the pathway is likely to be different for each pet.

With dogs, allergies manifest as a variety of symptoms. The most common occur as skin irritations— itching, scratching, digging, and gnawing, often to the point of creating large raw wounds over large parts of the body. Chronic ear infections are another symptom. Occasionally, dogs will have respiratory symptoms like couching, sneezing or nasal or ocular discharge. Food allergies may produce, in addition to skin crummies, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Holistically speaking, I believe these allergic symptoms can ultimately result in chronic dis-eases

such as arthritis, asthma, urinary tract infections and inflammatory bowel disease.

Allergies are the result of an immune system that has, for one reason or another, turned against itself.

Sometimes the result is instantaneous, as when a dog receives a food that contains something to which the dog is allergic and he immediately breaks out with rashy, itchy skin. Baldrick, a mostly white, beagle-y sort of dog, suffered chronic red, hot, itchy skin.

One summer, while Baldrick was with me in kennel for an extended time, I tried (with permission, of course) to do something about Baldrick’s misery, changing his food to that which had no additives and specifically, no corn. By the time Baldrick’s folks returned, his skin was pink, instead of red and his itching had subsided. Hurray! When I checked back later his mom reported that at a family picnic, a relative had given Baldrick an ear of corn to worry.

Within an hour, she said, he was

scratching maniacally, skin hot and red. But this was an easy way out of the maze.

Conventional medicine’s protocol is to confront a disease with bio-chemical methods (think war metaphors) and stop the symptoms so the patient looks well on the surface. The most common therapy is to use either a corticosteroid or an antihistamine frequently backed up with an antibiotic. Recently, another weapon has been added to the arsenal.

Originally designed to eliminate organ rejection during transplantation, it simply shuts down a body’s immune system. It will also shut down a dogbody reaction to an allergy. However, the side effects of all these drugs are hard core (ask for and then read the patients’ advisory that comes with

every drug). They work for the time the dog is taking the medicine. Once off the meds, the symptoms return. It can become a never-ending circle of medication and sickness.

The alternative and complementary approach to treatment recognizes the deeper constitutional state and restores order and balance to the whole animal.

Holistic practitioners work from a principle of Do No Harm, first of all.

A dogs’ condition must not be made worse in the long run simply to alleviate symptoms. Drugs that can cause more discomfort are not part of the deal.

The goal is to identify and eliminate the causes and obstacles to cure. First, and most obvious, is to rule out skin parasites, or “guests” as I like to call them. Next, we look at an animal’s environment; what also inhabits an itchy dog’s world? Is he assaulted daily by pollens, plastics, cleaners, pesticides, herbicides and cigarette smoke? And then, we use the curative power of nature. By eliminating causes and supporting organ and immune function with good diet, detoxification and supplements, the body will heal itself. Really.
