BJWSA customers may notice tap water discoloration Customers of the BeaufortJasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) may notice a brown or tan discoloration in their tap water for the next several weeks. The discoloration is due to the heavy rains over the last month. Because of the rainfall, waters of the flooded Savannah River reached surrounding land areas that are typically dry. Such flooding increases the amount of organic matter and “tannins” in the river, causing water discoloration. Customers may also notice a “musty” taste or odor due to the changes in the River. Despite these conditions, the water is safe to drink and use as normal.

the island news | august 8-14, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

“The Savannah River rose to the highest level we’ve seen since the early 1990s,” said Ed Saxon, BJWSA’s General Manager. “We are doing everything we can to eliminate color and musty taste or odor from our finished water, and we appreciate customer patience while we work through these issues.”

BJWSA’s staff has adjusted the treatment processes at its two water plants; however, current river conditions may cause discoloration to persist into the fall. Customers are urged to check for updates at www.bjwsa.org or on BJWSA’s Facebook page.

news Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation announces Valentine Ball 2014 chairmen

Dr. Aaron and Melissa Bliley and Weezie and Jim Gibson will co-chair the BMH Foundation’s 25th annual Valentine Ball in February 2014.

One of the couples who co-chaired the inaugural Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation Valentine Ball will take the reins once again this year on the 25th anniversary of the popular fundraiser.

Jim and Weezie Gibson spearheaded the coordination of the first Valentine Ball in 1990. It has since become the foundation’s signature fundraiser and Beaufort’s social event of the season, drawing some six hundred to eight hundred guests each year.

A retired attorney with Howell, Gibson & Hughes, Jim Gibson once served as the hospital’s lawyer. His wife was director of volunteers and served on the BMH Foundation Board of Trustees.

They will share the top post for the 2014 ball with dentist Dr. Aaron Bliley and his wife Melissa. Since moving to Beaufort in 2009, the Blileys have attended the Valentine Ball every year. Melissa has worked on the auction and dessert committees and last year co-chaired the kick-off party committee.

As part of the 2014 quarter-century celebration, the black tie affair will be moved

from the historic Lyceum on Parris Island to the new Beaufort Memorial Medical & Administrative Center (BMAC). The complex is located on Ribaut Road across from the main hospital campus and for the coming year, the second floor of the building has been purposefully left vacant for future growth.

The evening will begin with pre-ball dinner parties held in some of Beaufort’s most beautiful homes. About 9 p.m., guests will make their way to BMAC for dancing, dessert and a silent auction.

Over the years, the Valentine Ball has raised more than $3.9 million, allowing the nonprofit hospital to offer new and improved services. Proceeds from the 2014 event will help pay for the expansion of Beaufort Memorial’s Intensive Care Unit from eight to 12 beds.

Tickets to the Valentine Ball start at $150 per person and include several levels of contributions. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.valentineball.org or call (843) 522-5774.

Sheriff ’s Office warns of phone scam in Beaufort The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is alerting residents of a phone scam that has recently surfaced in our area. Yesterday the Sheriff ’s Office fielded several reports from citizens concerned over phone calls they received from subject(s) identifying themselves as Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office deputies. In these calls, the subject reportedly attempted to solicit money from the victims, threatening legal action if the victims refused to comply.

Victims have reported similar encounters: the caller informs them that they owe a fine for failure to appear for jury duty. The victim is encouraged to provide credit card information to pay the fine, or risk being arrested. The fine amounts vary, as do the names of the deputy the caller claims to be.

This type of scam has been reported in recent months in jurisdictions throughout the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigations released warnings about this type of scam dating back as early as 2005. While the details may differ as the scam runs from area to area, the end result is the same: a victim is deceived into giving valuable and potentially harmful information to an unknown source.

The callers perpetrating these types of scams can be very persistent and

intimidating. They may use legal/law enforcement jargon in combination with easily obtainable personal information about a victim to coerce them into believing they are speaking with an actual law enforcement officer. It is believed that these types of calls originate outside the local jurisdictions in which they occur, and quite possibly outside the country.

While it is common for deputies to make contact with citizens by phone for a number of reasons, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office does not solicit any financial information via phone. Satisfaction of any fines, debts, warrants, or other civil process will never require a citizen to release personal financial data by phone, e-mail or any other unsecured method of communication.

Anyone receiving a call of this nature is encouraged refrain from completing any transaction and to contact the Sheriff ’s Office immediately. If you have concerns that you may have an outstanding legal issue requiring some type of payment, you may verify this by contacting the appropriate offices of the Beaufort County Courthouse. For more information about this scam, as well as protecting yourself from other forms of fraud, visit the FBI’s website: http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety.

USCB Promotes Heberling To Head Softball Coach A national search for the next University of South Carolina Beaufort softball coach wound up leading back to campus, as assistant Laura Heberling was named the head coach of the Sand Sharks, the school announced Tuesday. “ This position drew significant interest, as we knew it would, and we were in conversations with several high-caliber coaches with outstanding experience, including some at the NCAA Division I level,” USCB Director of Athletics Quin Monahan said. “At the end of the process, it was clear that Laura was the best candidate to lead Sand Shark softball.”

Heberling served as an assistant during the first two years of the program’s existence and was instrumental in the team’s success, including key roles as the team’s pitching coach and lead recruiter.

Under Heberling’s tutelage, USCB’s pitching staff compiled a 2.28 ERA last season, with sophomore Kristy Cook (22-2, 1.86 ERA) earning honorable mention NAIA All-American accolades.

After finishing with a 37-11 record in its inaugural season in 2012, USCB went 43-6 and won the Sun Conference regular-season and tournament titles

in 2013 before falling one win short of qualifying for the NAIA National Championship tournament.

“It’s safe to say our softball program would not be where it is without Laura’s contributions over the past two seasons,” Monahan said. “We’re excited for her to have the opportunity to take over the program and continue to lead Sand Shark softball to national prominence.”

As a player, Heberling was a standout pitcher and infielder at Young Harris College and UNC Pembroke. After her playing career, she served as an assistant coach at UNC Pembroke, William Woods University and Iowa Wesleyan College before joining USCB in February 2011.

“I’m just so excited to have this opportunity and so thankful that Mr. Monahan and the rest of the administration at USCB have faith in me to lead the Sand Shark softball program to even greater heights,” Heberling said. “We have an amazing nucleus of players returning and some exciting freshmen coming in, so I can’t wait to get on the field this fall and start working toward our ultimate goal of a national championship.”

Judge approves settlement On July 10, 2013, Beaufort County Judge Carmen Mullen approved the settlement of claims by the widow and children of Carlos Alberto Olivera, the man that was shot and killed by tow truck driver Preston Oates.

On the evening of December 24, 2010, Carlos Olivera, his wife and four children drove their minivan to the home of his brother, Nelson Olivera, to deliver family Christmas presents. Nelson Olivera lived in the Edgefield Subdivision in Bluffton.

Carlos’ vehicle had been parked on the curb in front of Nelson’s house for approximately 20 minutes when it was booted by Preston Oates, operating a tow truck owned by ProTow, LLC. An argument ensued, in which Carlos Olivera was shot multiple times by Preston Oates in the presence of his wife and children.

Carlos Olivera died at the scene.

Claims were made on behalf of the surviving familt by William B.

Harvey, III of the Harvey & Battey Law Firm against Preston Oates, Pro-Tow, LLC, Edgefield Home Owners Association, Inc., and IMC Resort Services, Inc. (providing property management services to Edgefield), alleging negligence in the enactment of subdivision regulations which prohibited any parking on the street, or on the grass of individual lots, the hiring of Preston Oates, and the overly aggressive enforcement of those regulations such as that which occurred in this incident.

Settlement of these claims has been consummated and approved by the Court, for the total amount of $1,750,000. This settles all claims of the Estate of Carlos Olivera arising from this incident. Speaking on behalf of the Estate, attorney Bill Harvey stated: “It is best for Dhayam Olivera and her children to get this matter resolved so they can move on with their lives. This was a horribly tragic incident, and a senseless death.”

The facts about cataracts

By Mark S. Siegel, MD, FAAO

What is a cataract?

We are born with a crystalline lens inside the eye located behind the pupil that helps the eye focus light onto the back of the eye. A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens in the eye. When the natural lens is clouded, this can lead to decreased vision.

What causes a cataract?

Most commonly, this clouding occurs due to the normal aging process, usually after the age of 60. Other causes of cataracts include ocular diseases, medical problems (such as Diabetes Mellitus), trauma to the eye, the use of certain medications such as steroids and excessive UV radiation exposure.

How do I know if I have a cataract?

People with cataracts usually complain of blurred vision and sometimes experience difficulty reading or driving.

Sometimes it may seem that you are looking through a cloudy window. Another common symptom of cataracts is increased glare. People with cataracts may notice significant glare around lights or oncoming headlights when they are driving which can make it harder to drive at night. Some people also notice that colors do not appear as vibrant or bright as they used to. If you have any of the above risk factors and are experiencing difficulty with your vision, you may have a cataract. Your eye physician can diagnose cataracts by performing a complete eye exam.

Light passes through the normal lens properly to a focused point on the back of the eye. However, in the cloudy lens affected by cataract, light is bent in all different ways and prevents the light from focusing on the back of the eye. This causes blurred vision.

How are cataracts treated?

There are no medications or drops that can help treat a cataract. Once cataracts affect your vision to the point

Dr. Mark Siegel,

MD, FAAO Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology.com.

525-1500. where your activities of daily life are affected, they can be removed in order to improve vision. Many people believe that cataracts can be removed with laser surgery. This is not true, as they can only be removed by microscopic eye surgery in the operating room by your eye physician and surgeon. Lasers are beginning to be used to perform portions of cataract surgery such as the incisions to enter the eye, the opening of the lens (capsulotomy) and dividing the lens into fragments. The laser is not covered by any insurance and is still performed in an OR. However, a phacoemulsification (ultrasound) probe is still required to remove the cataract fragments, which is covered by insurance.

What can I do to prevent the formation of cataracts?

Cataracts occur due to the natural aging process, but there are some steps you can take that may be helpful in delaying a cataract. First, if you are a smoker, quitting smoking may help delay the progression of a cataract.

Also, protecting yourself from excessive exposure to UV light, by wearing sunglasses and a hat, may also help delay cataracts.

How is cataract surgery performed?

If the cataract is found to be affecting your activities of daily living, the cataract can be removed by your eye physician and surgeon in the operating room. First, the eye that is undergoing surgery will be numbed, typically

with topical anesthesia. You will usually be made to feel sleepy during the surgery, but will still be able to hear the surgeon and staff interacting with you. You will not need to worry about keeping your eye open during the procedure because the surgeon will do that for you. Then, a small incision is made into the front window of the eye (cornea) and the cloudy lens is removed through this incision using ultrasound power and suction. After the cloudy lens is removed, a clear acrylic or silicone lens is inserted in its place in order to properly focus light onto the back of the eye again. Cataract surgery is one of the most successful surgeries performed in the United States.

It is uncomplicated and successful in 95% of patients who undergo the surgery.

Are there different types of lens implants?

Yes, there are many different types and powers of lens implants. Your eye physician will determine the proper lens power to be implanted by taking measurements in the office before surgery.

The standard lens implants are typically “monofocal” lenses, or lenses that focus the vision to a certain distance.

In order to have clear near vision, reading glasses are still needed. There are other types of lens implants, such as “multifocal” or “accommodative” lenses, or lenses with more than one focus point. These lenses allow you to focus both near and far. Ask your eye physician for more information about multifocal lens implants.

What happens after surgery?

Immediately after surgery you will typically be monitored for about 30 minutes to an hour. You should have someone with you to drive you home. It is best that you rest for the remainder of the day after surgery.

Your eye surgeon will have more specific instructions of what you should do after surgery. For more information, consult with your eye surgeon.

If the Sky Falls We Shall Catch Larks

I once read that every page of every book has a cloud in it. It’s true. Each tree that has been made into a book was watered by the clouds. Few of us know where clouds come from, or what they need to form beyond the simplest of explanations, yet many of us feel as Emily Dickinson when she penned this line: “I have never spoken with God nor visited heaven, yet certain am I of the spot, as if the chart were given.”

We all know that to look up is to touch the grandeur of God’s finger trailing the sky. Yet most of us miss not only His hand-writing on the wall, but also His penmanship across the sky, especially at night.

Ardra Davis-Tolbert, Meredith Mitchell and Lynn Norton of Coastal Obstetrics and Gynecology and the practice of Jo Ann Csakany, Randy Royal and Glenn Werner—broke the news to BMH administrators last week that they were merging the two groups to decrease their oncall commitments.

All six of the doctors, along with midwives Donna Andrews and Elizabeth Durant, will work directly for Tenet, which owns the Hardeeville hospital and Hilton Head Regional Healthcare.

“We didn’t become aware that the

we were off to The Sands in Port Royal.

We would toss a few shells in the water and then charge down the first stretch of boardwalk. But the further we moved from the lights that denoted human time, to the infinity of starlight, we lingered.

Ripples of moonlight or a sudden splash caught and held our attention. At the apex of the concrete conduit stands a five story tower. Giggles and the reading of the leavings of the more bold of the graffiti artists slowed us as we ran the spiral stairs of the tower---till we reached the top. There

two groups were in negotiations with Tenet until after the contracts were signed,” Toomey said of the physicians. “We would have loved to have had the opportunity to make a counter proposal or to have sat down with them before they signed their contract with Tenet, so we could have kept them in their home community and at Beaufort Memorial.”

Although the doctors’ contract with Tenet goes into effect October 1, the OB/GYNs will continue delivering babies at Beaufort Memorial through February or March 2014, and will maintain their Beaufort practices.

Meantime, hospital administrators have begun a search for qualified OB/GYNs and already have received multiple inquiries. They plan to have the new physicians on board by the beginning of next year.

The hospital’s medical staff also currently includes three boardcertified OB/GYNs—Drs. Cathy Bagley, Allahna Coggins and Claude Tolbert of Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services. An additional five OB/ GYNs from Naval Hospital Beaufort deliver babies at BMH. Gynecologists Drs. John Fontana and Patricia Thompson are still affiliated with and perform surgeries at the Beaufort Memorial, but do not deliver babies.

we spread out, and gazed and guessed at the clouds.

Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society as well as the co-founder of The Idler magazine is touted in his bio as a“long time advocate of the joy of time ill spent.” Gavin notes that while the English language generally leans towards clouds as a metaphor for gloom and doom, he is more a believer in the words of Greek playwright Aristophanes, “clouds are the patron goddesses of idle fellows.”

Gavin feels, that as “adults we are reluctant to allow ourselves the indulgence of allowing our imagination to drift along with the clouds.” I have to agree. We often take a moment, even if it’s a glance out of a car window, to catch a glimpse of a sunrise or sunset, but the open sky and

time necessary to watch as clouds pass by, shaping and reshaping into our heart’s desire, is rarely realized.

With over half a century of life logged in, I have only a few distinct memories of time spent watching clouds go by. The business of life gets in the way of this simple extravagance.

Barbara Holland in her book, Endangered Pleasures, In Defense of Naps, Bacon, Martinis, Profanity, and Other Indulgences, tells us that, “Gloom we shall always have with us, a rank and sturdy weed, but joy requires tending.”

So tend to your joy, and do a little cloud watching this week…while you may. “Life is suspended between two eternities—the time to use it is today,” Randall Guywehr.

yoga pose of the week Eagle Pose Garudasana

By Megan Howe Photo by Mark Vanderpool Eagle is a standing pose that improves your sense of balance and concentration.

In addition to strengthening your ankles and calves, this pose also stretches your thighs, hips, shoulders, and upper back.

If you live with asthma, low backache, or sciatica discomfort, practicing Garudasana (Eagle Pose) can provide therapeutic relief to your disease or condition.

Begin standing, in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), with your feet together at the top of your yoga mat. Bend both of your knees and ground down the four corners of your left foot. Carefully lift your right foot up, cross your right leg over your left, and hug every muscle in your legs toward the center of your body.

When you first begin to practice this pose, bend your knees deeply and connect both feet to the ground. As you progress in your practice of this pose, I encourage you to lift one foot off the earth and balance.

Reach both of your arms straight forward, then cross your right arm underneath your, bend your elbows and

bring each hand to your opposite shoulder (it will look like you are giving yourself a hug). If you’re shoulders are willing, after crossing one arm under the other, bend your elbows until your fingertips face the ceiling and hook your hands together.

Draw your shoulder blades towards your spine and press them into your body. Hug in towards the centerline of your body to create balance in your pose.

For more empowering poses, visit us at Dancing Dogs Yoga, located in Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head Island.

Coaches gather for first district-wide convocation More than 200 Beaufort County School District coaches from middle and high schools gathered for training and inspiration Monday, August 5th at the district’s first Fall Coaches Convocation.

Workshops and guest speakers addressed topics ranging from effective coaching and legal issues to sportsmanship and integrating students with disabilities into school athletic programs. The event was held at Beaufort High School.

Chief Student Services Officer Gregory McCord said early reviews of

the event from coaches were positive, and he has already set aside a date next summer for a second districtwide convocation.

“As a school district, we believe it’s important that we’re all on the same page when it comes to our expectations for student athletes and coaches,” McCord said. “This annual event will provide an excellent forum for that. It also was terrific to see coaches who are rivals in their sports during the year come together for a day of fellowship.”

Book published about vanishing Gullah/Geechee Heritage High Tide Publishing, Okatie, SC, announces the publication of “Gone With The Tide - The Vanishing Gullahs and Geechees” by Pearce W. Hammond

Many Americans are unaware that along the South Carolina and Georgia coast lies a culture more strongly rooted in African ways than any other in America. In quiet self-sufficiency the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia lived off the water and the land on isolated barrier sea islands with their own unique language, lifestyle and culture. It was a life in a simpler time with pristine saltwater for fishing, crabbing and gathering oysters and clams; virgin maritime forests; sand roads and wild game.

In many ways the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia are part of the modern world but in other ways they are trying to hold steadfastly to the way of life of their African ancestors and passing on their culture and traditions from one generation to another. However, today they face a crisis as the demand for their land and

marsh encroaches upon home and farm and threatens their way of life. And, if their culture dies, a significant part of the culture of the low country of South Carolina and Georgia will be lost along with African Americans’ purest link to their past.

This book contains an abundance of historical information about the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia and will inspire others to keep their story alive for future generations. It also contains extensive examples of their unique language, superstitions, folklore, and customs and traditions. There is also a section on low country cooking with recipes and a section on Gullah cooking related terms. The book is illustrated with original Gullah and Geechee art by the author. For additional information about this book, please log on to: https://www.createspace. com/4374624.

Kaleidoscope at Beaufort Art Association Michael B. Pearson will be the Beaufort Art Association’s featured artist for the month of August with her exhibit “Kaleidoscope.” A reception will be held at the BAA gallery, located at 913 Bay Street, on Friday, August 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The word “Kaleidoscope” is derived from the Greek kalos meaning“beautiful or beauty”, eidos meaning “that which is seen: form, shape” and sjopeo meaning “to look to, to examine.” Hence Michael has titled her show Kaleidoscope, meaning the “observation of beautiful forms.”

Although Michael paints a wide variety of subject matter from portrait to large acrylic wall murals, she is most widely known for her transparent watercolor representational botanicals.

Kaleidoscope will showcase these with some added surprises.

Michael holds a degree in Fashion Illustration and has a background in commercial art and advertising. She

the island news | august 8-14, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

fell in love with watercolor 35 years ago while stationed in Hawaii with Army career husband Bob. This began a “love affair” without end.

Michael calls her favorite medium the most fun for an artist. She says “After more than three decades it still does wonderfully exciting and spontaneous things for me.” She has studied with many of the best National watercolorist and developed an extensive knowledge in Color Theory. She shares this knowledge in workshops throughout the Southeast. She has had over 40 solo exhibitions, owned her own gallery for 8 years, and has served as juror for both watercolor and mixed media shows.

Michael also is a great believer in what she calls “giving back.” She is the past President of the Hawaii Watercolor Society, the Georgia Watercolor Society, and Beaufort Art Association as well as Regional Director for South Carolina Watermedia Society for 5 years.

lunch bunch Get the skinny on the culinary creativity at

FAT PATTIES

By Pamela Brownstein Fat Patties excels at elevating basic food to the next level with an emphasis on quality ingredients, handmade dishes and a touch of whimsy that makes dining here always an excellent experience.

The Lunch Bunch started with three amazing appetizers. The Pork Stuffed Jalapenos made with half a roasted jalapeno pepper filled with pulled pork and topped with smoked Gouda sauce were scrumptious; the Bacon and Cheddar Tater Tots served with a side of chipotle mayo and an amazing apple salad were awesome; and we had to get our favorite, the flash fried Deviled Shrimp with chili lime pepper jelly and served with cool ranch dipping sauce.

Choosing an entrée can present a challenge: Do you go with one of their elaborate house burgers or do you build your own? Should you try a brat or a different patty such as turkey or black bean? Elizabeth ordered the Verde with guacamole, jalapeno and goat cheese but this time on a turkey burger, which she declared delicious. Buck tried something new for him with the Over Easy on a half bacon patty. This big burger is piled high with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, carmelized onions and a fried egg. I had to stick with my go-to favorite because I had been craving it: The Frenchie.

With a generous slab of Brie, carmelized onions, rosemary mustard and apple slaw on a half-bacon, half beef burger, it is impossible to pass up.

Clockwise from above: The Frenchie; Pork Stuffed Jalapenos; Burnt Marshmellow milkshake; Bacon and Cheddar Tater Tots.

Our Lunch Bunch guests were overwhelmingly pleased with their choices.

Mrs. Harding enjoyed her Baby Blue on a half bacon burger with blue cheese, carmelized onions and garlic mayo. Mr. Harding felt adventurous and tried the special burger called “That Must Be Bacon Jam Because Bacon Jelly Don’t Shake Like That.” This beef burger was topped with a combination of peanut butter, jalapenos, mayo, bacon jam and apples, and was definitely one-of-a-kind. All the burgers were served with a side of Fat Patties’ tasty hand cut rosemary and sea salt fries.

For dessert, we had to sample some of the more than 15 flavors of homemade ice cream.

With unique choices such as Fruit Loops, Bailey’s Caramel or Honey Peanut Butter, it was hard to decide but we tried two new flavors: Mango Strawberry Cheesecake — with yummy chunks of cheesecake crust — and Chocolate Covered Banana Split made with bananas, cherries, and pieces of dark chocolate. Both were recent creations by head chef Pedro, who said he loves inventing new ice cream flavors and burger ideas, and the atmosphere at Fat Patties fosters his culinary creativity. We also ordered a milkshake made with Burnt Marshmellow ice cream, which Elizabeth especially liked because it tasted like it just came off the campfire.

A good restaurant wouldn’t be complete without a great bar that features a super selection of craft beers, many from breweries in Charleston and Atlanta. So while Fat Patties is certainly a family friendly joint, it is also a place where adults can gather and enjoy beverages that they might not be able to find elsewhere.

Fat Patties is located at 831 Parris Island Gateway, a half mile from Parris Island, and is open daily at 11 a.m. Call 843-379-1500 or visit www.fat-patties.com or find them on Facebook where you can get daily updates on specials and events such as happy hour or trivia night.

wine

And what is on your plate?

By Celia Strong

Well, welcome again to another meandering look at another new wine. I think we have all, finally, realized that a new wine every week can keep us moving forward. A new wine can make us feel like we’re keeping ourselves younger because we keep learning; it can help make us more interesting - partly because we have something new to talk about and partly because we’re drinking. And, a new wine can be fun and rewarding for each of us personally. If we didn’t like wines we wouldn’t be who we are today anyhow. So, here’s hoping we all like our new wine for this week.

If you’ve looked at the picture of this week’s wine label, you can see it has a pretty interesting name. “Blue plate.” So, let’s digress for a second and look at this name. “Blue plate” is a restaurant (or more correctly, a diner) nickname for a special, lower priced meal, very common during the 1920’s through the 1950’s. Traditionally, this special included a meat and three vegetables. Sometimes, the dishes that these specials were served on were actually divided into sections for the different items.

The origins of the phrase “blue plate” is not really clear, but some of the guesses are really fun. One is that during the Depression, one manufacturer made plates (platters or trays was more like it) with divided sections for different foods, kind of like some frozen dinner trays are now. These divided plates only came in the color blue. Another possibility is that there were inexpensive divided plates made with a “blue willow” pattern, copies of Spode and Wedgewood.

October 22, 1892 is the date of the first known use of the term “blue plate” on a menu. In the late 1920’s, the phrase became much more commonly used. An advertisement in “The New York Times,” May 27, 1926, listed “Blue Plate Specials,” and more records of the phrase followed.

In Hollywood, in 1940, every time Spencer Tracy went into the commissary for lunch at Metro Studios, all the executives would look up from their blue plate specials. Or so claimed a Hollywood gossip columnist.

(It is truly amazing how many records of how many tidbits of history are recorded.)

Just so we don’t think all was rosy with blue plate specials, there were absolutely no

substitutions. You got what you got. A glass of wine, or beer, was never included with a blue plate special. Maybe, as a bit of revolt against no substitutions, we like to keep looking for new wines?

And on to our wine for this week. It’s a Chenin Blanc from California. We don’t do much with this variety. Partly because over time there have been more than a few slightly sweeter-style ones made in California. Washington state does make many, really good, drier-style Chenin wines, but our preconceived ideas of this grape from the few California versions is a hurdle.

In France, the wines from Vouvray, a town in the Loire Valley, are fairly well known and liked, but not everyone realizes that they are made from Chenin Blanc. South Africa also makes some wonderful wines from Chenin Blanc, though they are often called “Steen.”

More confusion.

But, let’s look at Chenin Blanc. This is a high acidity white grape. Which means it can be used to make dry, semi-dry, dessert and sparkling wines. The vine is naturally vigorous so it can easily grow a lot of grapes that end up as bland, neutral wines.

Controlling the growth of the vines, how many grapes per vine, can result in well balanced, rich and complex wines. Chenin Blanc originated in the Anjou area of the Loire Valley sometime in the ninth century.

It spread from there, through the valley, to the Rhône Valley, to South Africa and on. Including to the United States. DNA research suggests that Chenin Blanc may be a parent of Sauvignon Blanc. (And we know Sauvignon Blanc is a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yikes.) In addition to controlling the vine’s growth of this variety, climate is important too. Chenin Blanc tends to bud early and ripen late.

That means that more warm climates are better for it. The climate, and actually the weather of each vintage, plays a large part in determining what is the best style Chenin

In California, Chenin Blanc has gone from having more acreage of vines than France during the 1980’s, to a mere thirteen thousand acres in 2006. When there was so much of it, and it was popular to grow as many grapes as possible, Chenin was viewed as a workhorse variety and used for blending in bulk jug wines. Its natural acidity and varying degrees of sweetness made it a perfect partner to Chardonnay and Colombard. Then, close to the beginning of the twenty-first century, there was a move toward better Chenin Blanc vines, grapes and wines. Producers in the Sacramento Valley were part of this trend.

In the Clarksburg AVA. And, we are now one step close to our wine!

The Clarksburg AVA was established in 1984, part of three counties in the Sacramento Valley, Sacramento, Solano and Yolo. It is just under sixty-five thousand acres with dense clay and loam soils and foggy weather with cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay. One of the best known wineries located in the Clarksburg AVA is Bogle, but ninety of the grapes grown in the AVA are transported out of the area for crushing and fermenting. Very few wines actually come with thenClarksburg AVA on them. But, our “blue plate” 2011 Chenin Blanc does!

This wine, our wine, comes from the Wilson Vineyard where the grapes are sustainably farmed. They were harvested in the early morning of September 7, 2011.

Then they were delivered to the winery and pressed into the tank by mid-morning, so that the grapes were never exposed to the hot afternoon sun. The fruit aromas of the wine were maintained by this cool treatment. After pressing, the grapes were allowed to cold-settle for three days, and then racked into a stainless steel tank for a long, very cold fermentation to totally dry.

There was no malo-lactic fermentation, so the wine’s natural acidity is still crisp.

This acid balances and supports the rich fruitiness of the wine. And no oak. The final wine is ninety-three percent Chenin Blanc and seven percent Sauvignon Blanc.

(Kids always find their way home to Mom or Dad, don’t they?) In our glass, we get intense tropical aromas of passion fruit and plantain.

The textures are full, even voluptuous, with peach, apricot and cantaloupe flavors.

And the finish is lemon minerality. My favorite part. “Wine Enthusiast,” in November, 2012, ranked this 2011 “blue plate” Chenin Blanc number twenty-eight in its top one hundred Best Buys list. And Best Buys means not expensive. So, for $10.99, we can all love this wine. As an aperitif and with all kinds of seafood, salads, cheeses, sushi, luncheons, back porches, hot afternoons and evenings. It really brings a new meaning to “Blue Plate Special.” And you don’t have to have it in a divided plate.

Or a blue glass. But it is special. So, here’s to learning to like Chenin Blanc. Enjoy.

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

But what does it taste like?

By Tracie Korol

“My child is good with dogs.” At a recent function two beverages were offered for refreshment: one was sweet tea (no, thanks) and the other, a “lite” beverage in a color not normally seen in nature, an orange so intense it almost glowed in the dark. I’ll guess the flavor was “orange”. These days I avoid foods created by scientists but there was a time when I appreciated Kool-Aid, Jello and Strawberry Quik. Even then I knew that none of them tasted anything like what they were labeled but I didn’t care because I was only 8 years old.

Artificial flavors are used in foods that have been so processed they have no naturally occurring flavors left.

Scientists create imitations of these natural flavors in a lab using hundreds of synthetic chemicals, and those are added back into the food. It is a much cheaper way for manufacturers to give a product the taste of what they are trying to sell you, without giving you the actual food that you might assume is in the product. As you might expect, this happens to pet food, too.

To meet nutritional requirements, pet food manufacturers blend animal fats and meals with soy, wheat and corn and then add synthetic supplements.

This yields a cheap, filling pellet that no one wants to eat. Cats and dogs are not filler eaters by choice so to find ways to entice them to eat enough for it to be nutritionally sufficient is a challenge.

Man-made flavors are added to increase palatability. Flavors like Cadavernine

and Putrescence tend to grab a dog’s attention. I’m not making that up.

Manufacturers are not required to disclose exactly what chemicals are in these artificial flavors, as these are considered “trade secrets”, as long as the ingredient is “generally regarded as safe”.

So, even though there might be 100 different chemical ingredients, all they have to list is “artificial flavors”. Many chemicals used in artificial flavors are derived from petroleum, and many of the chemicals used are volatile. They have been shown to have an adverse effect on RNA, the thyroid, and enzymes.

Another problem with artificial flavors is that because the specific ingredients are not required to be listed, a dog with a food intolerance could unknowingly consume something that could cause a bad reaction.

In an effort to solve the itch problem, vets and owners will explore novelty protein sources (like rabbit and ostrich) or look to the external pollens and funguses endemic to this area.

causation and opt for brown pellets only, but how many even consider the “natural” beef flavor?

The other problem that arises is that certain dogs will become “picky eaters” that will not eat anything but the canned mystery glop with the cute doggie photo on the label. The mere process of production of these canned foods is simply meat by-products broken down by use of water. The amino acids (building blocks of protein) that remain in the meat hydrolysate (liquid meat) are magnified in taste by added phosphate salts and synthetic “natural” flavors. This magnified taste of protein—though chemically achieved—is what keeps pets addicted to a cheap pet food that no one wants to eat. Why eat real meat when you can

eat uber meat?

AFB International (the global science and technology leader in pet food palatability) states that for a dog the sense of smell is what pet food manufacturers are selling to. “The takeaway lesson is that if the palatant smells appealing, the dog will dive in with instant and obvious zeal, and the owner will assume the food is a hit.

When in reality it might have only smelled like a hit.” In other words, the dog food need only smell like meat to the dog. When the meat aroma is completely, chemically artificial, you have a problem.

The billion dollar industry that creates flavors and smells for human and pet foods is a cutting-edge science designed to convince us—and our pets—to eat what’s in front of us, whatever it may be. “Natural” flavorings are symbolic of the massive decline in food quality, public and animal health. Processed foods, and that includes processed pet foods, have become confused with natural foods and, consequently, more and more of us are disconnected from what is really real. Strawberry Quik sure isn’t strawberry.
