50 men + 50 boys + 50 holiday gifts = lessons learned
Caleb Brown, Founder of Committed to Excellence.
Fifty Beaufort County high school males are expected to be met by fifty men of the northern Beaufort community at Walmart for a day of holiday shopping – for gifts worth $50 – and mentorship. Included in the group of men will be local pastors, business owners and political figures. The “50, 50, 50” event is led by Caleb Brown, founder of Committed to Excellence, a program that provides mentorship and guidance for at-risk young men, empowering them to recognize and strive for their
full potential. “Many people have asked why my focus is on high school males for this event. We see our youth getting involved in the streets and committing crimes. We’re losing more and more of our youth to death or prison each year,” Brown said. “Too many people say that it is too late for high school boys. I feel that it is never too late.” Brown began recruiting men and MENTORS continued on page 4

Sherman. This year’s performance included Krishwana Cuthbert as Mary and Brandon Johnson as Joseph. The angels were played by Kiani Major and Jasmine Simmons. The Three Kings were played by York Glover, Richard Lewis and Ben Johnson, Jr. Tending their flocks were shepherds Lames Cuthbert, Josephus Jenkins and Maurice Malachi.

Financial planning: rebalance or redesign? When your portfolio needs an overhaul Sometimes a portfolio, no matter how cleverly designed when it was new, simply fails to meet expectations. The markets and sectors may have changed substantially, or perhaps an investor’s goals have shifted. No matter the cause, such a portfolio is ripe for redesign. That’s a bit more drastic than merely rebalancing, which, essentially, means restoring your original asset allocation among investment categories. Redesigning, on the other hand, means taking your existing portfolio apart and reconstructing it. In view of how the market and the world have changed, some portfolios may need re-
designing rather than merely rebalancing. When you look at your portfolio, consider how it got to where it is. It’s common enough for portfolios to gather Arthur Levin dust for years, so yours may not have changed substantially in a very long time – it may date from a time when your television needed tubes and your car phone weighed as much as a brick. It never pays to be too quick to redesign, however. Give the idea some thought and you may resolve that only
a partial redesign is needed to add to or replace old investment categories with up-to-date choices that better suit today’s market and your current needs.

CORRECTIONS: We must apologize for three errors we recently perpetrated. First, in the issue of December 10th, we incorrectly printed Andree Lloyd’s title as Executive Director of Friends of Caroline Hospice. Her correct title is Community Outreach Director and Lindsay Roberg is the Executive Director of this fine organization. Our second error was not noticing that we had not changed the name of one of the people in our Who’s News section last week. That lovely young lady who has joined Beaufort Memorial Hospital is really Pauline Phillips, not Mac Sanders. We are so sorry if this caused anyone confusion. The third error is reprinted correctly below.

The trains stop in Beaufort during the holidays By Bob Sofaly
The Beaufort Railroaders held their 23rd annual Christmas Trains display all this week at the Beaufort Branch Library on Scott Street. Many different gauge model trains were on display
with some very intricate landscaping done to scale including villages with train stations, water towers, switching facilities and even an active rock quarry with scale earth moving equipment to complete the illusion. Four-year-old Henry Wreden is all smiles as he watches the “G”-gauge train owned by Jim Nicholson go by. Nicholson’s display included people, two trains, pickup trucks and an intricate series of building forming a village.
Neville Patterson repairs the under carriage of one of his “O”-gauge cars. Patterson said the maintenance level of the smaller gauges is very high.

One young man was so excited to get some Lego’s that he had never had before that he gave Betty Davis a big hug as a thank-you.

young men. The high school boys have been selected by school administrators. “20 percent of teenagers experience depression before adulthood. That number rises during the holiday,” Brown said. “My hope is to show our high school boys that there is hope and that they have not been forgotten.”

T
he Technical College of the Lowcountry honored 33 associate degrees in nursing graduates at its December 17 pinning ceremony. “We are so proud of these graduates for their perseverance and commitment to nursing excellence,” nursing program director Stephanie Lawson said. “The TCL nursing program in particular is rigorous but produces extremely qualified and successful graduates, giving them the confidence they need to walk proudly into the nursing field.” In the last five years, more than 200 students have completed TCL’s associate degree in nursing program. TCL’s twoyear ADN program prepares graduates to practice as registered nurses. Students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive intense additional handson practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties.

Beaufort County to accept Christmas trees for recycling Beaufort County residents are reminded to bring their old Christmas trees to any County Convenience Center during normal Center hours. Trees should be placed in the yard waste bins. County yard waste is converted to boiler fuel for energy generation, so ornaments, lights, and other decorations should be removed from the trees prior to recycling them. Residents should not take trees 4
to the old locations in Lady’s Island or Bluffton, as doing so will be considered illegal dumping. In reviewing the Grinding of the Greens program, the County discovered very little of the fresh mulch was picked up by residents and the bulk had to be removed by Public Works crews after events. According to Jim Minor, Beaufort County Solid Waste and Recycling
the island news | december 24-30, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
Director, using these trees for energy generation is a much greener approach and will dramatically reduce not only the overall carbon footprint of this event, but also program costs. The following local municipality will continue to provide Grinding of the Greens locations and make mulch available to the public: Town of Port Royal at the Naval
Heritage Park on Ribaut Road (with grinding by Southern Tree Service). Residents should contact their municipalities for dates of operation. The City of Beaufort and Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head Island will offer curbside collection of trees. For more information on locations and hours of Convenience Centers, please visit www.bcgov.net/ recycle or call 843-255-2736.

College athletes stress the importance of academics at LIMS
On December 16th, four college athletes who had just arrived home for their Christmas break spent a few hours talking with students at Lady’s Island Middle School about their experiences as football players for their respective colleges. The message shared by these young
men is that academics come before sports and that without good grades, you will not be able to get into college, no matter how good of an athlete you are. The advice they gave on being successful in your sport is to be coachable, to be dedicated and to always be willing to do more than is asked of you. LIMS
is thankful to these young men for taking the time to inspire future student athletes.

Beaufort High hosts two nail-biters Friday night If you enjoy down-to-the-wire basketball, The Eagles Nest of Beaufort High School on Lady’s Island was the place to be Friday night. Both Beaufort teams won against their non-conference games against crosstown rival Battery Creek High School, but only by two points in each game.
Helping to push Beaufort High to the boys’ 52-50 win, Kendrick Dopson drained a pair of free throws with 14 seconds remaining. Matt Garay paced Beaufort High with a game-high — 21 points. Garay led a pair of Beaufort High scorers in double figures. Accompanying Garay in double figures, Dajour Cleveland chipped in 10 points for
the Eagles. Kameron Jenkins narrowly missed a double-double for Beaufort High, finishing with nine points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

Happy Holidays!
The kids are coming home for the holidays! By Celia Strong We all know how nice it is to have family and friends close for the holidays. Hopefully, we all remember what it feels like to be one of the ones going home too. And, to be one of the ones waiting at home for someone to come. For many of us, I hope, nice wines came along with all these great memories. Today, we’ve got two new ones. Wines. A red and a white for us to enjoy. And remember. Our wines come to us from the Burgundy region of France. As a bit of review, this is a region in eastern France known for great red wines made from Pinot Noir and great white wines made from Chardonnay. Some of these are the most expensive in the world. The Celts probably grew vines and made wines in the area before the Romans conquered Gaul in 51 BC. After the fall of the Roman Empire, monasteries played a major role in continuing wine making in the region. In the centuries that followed, there were ups and downs for the industry. From 1985 to 1995, growers and producers worked diligently to “clean up” their growing and winemaking. Their wines became deeper and more complex and, today, they are reaping the benefits of that work. Benefits in their quality reputations and in their prices. Needless to say, we could go on for hours about Burgundy, but the clocks are ticking. In more ways than one. This is Christmas week! So, on to our winery for this week. Domaine Lejeune. This is a family owned operation, with ancestors going back to 1783, based in the town of Pommard. Named for Maxime Lejeune, who died in 1864 and whose estate was over 50 acres. A sizable holding in Burgundy. Today, Julien de Pommerol,
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
a former oenology professor at Beaune’s Lycée Viticole, oversees the property and the winemaking. The cellar at Lejeune has many large, traditional oak fermenting vats. One of these is circled with 17 hoops made from white birch. This is the traditional type of vat in Burgundy and the oldest one still in existence. And still being used! At Domaine Lejeune, they use a combination of older, traditional winemaking techniques and modern technology. Their goal is to make wines, especially Pommard since that’s where they are based and own the most vineyards, with traditional flavor profiles and the potential for aging and developing as well. Their method of vinification is worth noting. Clusters and bunches of grapes are sorted. Overripe berries are removed but the stems stay. Each vat is filled, less than half full, with whole clusters and bunches. These are trodden by foot (Yep! Think of the old pictures of men in shorts stomping around, in their bare feet, on bunches of grapes) until there is enough juice to start the alcoholic fermentation. Using natural yeast spores. Then, the vats are filled up with more bunches of grapes, and the weight of these presses down and releases more juice. This alcoholic fermentation takes five to seven days. Technically this is a carbonic maceration. The “wine” that
is started here is protected from oxidizing and fermentation continues in these vats. More foot pressure, hand pressure and special poles are used to make sure all the grapes are crushed and their juices released. After 21 to 26 days, three to four weeks, wine is run off, out of the vats into barrels. After time in barrels, Lejeune does not fine or filter their wines before bottling them. This leaves all the structure, body, aromas and flavors possible in the wines. Which we now get to taste. The Lejeune Bourgogne Blanc, Chardonnay, is smooth and balanced. It has moderate fullness with pleasant fruit flavors. Pale yellow in your glass, with aromas that pop up at your nose. It has a creaminess in its nose, along with apple, pear and green herb notes. And a hint of lemon zest. The creaminess follows into
the palate, balancing a crisp acidity. A clean style Chardonnay, made to serve as both an apéritif and with foods like fresh seafood, salads and more. For $16.99. And, the Lejeune Bourgogne Rouge is Pinot Noir. This wine is a traditional styled red Burgundy, not heavy, not pumped up with other varieties, and clean, almost crisp flavors. It is cherry red in your glass with aromas of cherries, strawberries and cranberries. Hints of black pepper, coffee and truffle hide in the back. Its flavors are mild but not weak. Also traditional. This is a great wine for seafood too! But it will also go with cheeses (I just had a sip with a taste of Époisses - a cheese from the Burgundy region.) For $16.99. But where are the kids? Well, “Lejeune” means the “the young one.” The “kids” are here. Happy Holiday! Enjoy.

USCB Center for the Arts hosts “One Word Essay – Images that Speak” from Photography Club of Beaufort in January Can one word really tell the story? Can one photo accurately depict the essence of one word? The Photography Club of Beaufort hopes that’s the case. Throughout 2015, members of the Club were asked to select one word and spend the year photographing events, places, landscapes, still life’s or portraits that represent that one word in a single photograph. Photographers chose words like daring, precision, tender, time,

serenity…to more unique words like spooning, magoo, discombobulated and even the 1960’s song papa-oommow-mow. It certainly will be interesting to see how well these photos illustrate the chosen word. Local artist Nancy Rhett will judge these photos, putting a large emphasis on creativity as well as technical quality and composition. Over 60 photos will be exhibited at USCB’s Center for the Arts.
The Photography Club also brought this idea into the schools. Beaufort Elementary partnered with the Club and members spent time with the students, taking iPad photographs during the fall semester. These photos, also illustrating one word, will be exhibited along with member entries at USCB. Opening reception is on Friday, January 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit will run through February 5.

The Force Awakens in all of us this season Now what?
By Lee Scott
It is finally here! The movie premier of the year: “The Force Awakens” - the seventh of the Star Wars movies. I realize that there are many people who do not care, but for those of us who love Science Fiction and action adventure movies, this movie hits a home run. I was one of those people back in 1977 that went to see the first Star Wars movie and not just because of my six year old son either. I was just as excited. We sat in the center of the 5th row in order to get the full impact and when the crawl started on the screen I had to lean down and read it to him. He could read, but not that fast. Fortunately, there was a hum in the audience as other parents were reading it also. By the last sentence, excited movie goers were
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
openly reading the lines, “Pursued by the Emperors sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy”. The theatre then went silent. What a way to start! Needless to say as a female, I was thrilled back then to see a movie that
featured a fearless woman willing to stand up to the evil Darth Vader. But the movie hit home to people for other reasons too. Those of us that had watched the television reruns of the Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers film serials were familiar with the crawl style at the beginning. And the main theme in the movie, Good versus Evil, is one of
the most common themes in literature; where the light reflects the good and the dark reflects the evil. Then there is the more subtle reason why it appealed to so many. The ability of the characters that represented different species and genders to come together and fight the dark side. As we begin a new year, it is refreshing to see a movie released that brings people from many cultures, races and generations together. Our differences are irrelevant when we stand in line at the theatre with fans dressed as Wookies and Storm Troopers. Hopefully in this New Year, and outside of the movie theatre, we see many nationalities come together and fight evil. Happy New Year and May the Force Be with You!
For now, my answer is love, hope and joy. By Cherimie Crane Weatherford
Hurriedly we say our seasonal pleasantries, sashaying from task to time-trimming task only half heartily observing the moment as anything other than obligatory obedience to a tradition notably less magical than years past. Stockings neatly hung, trees gently sparkle and socially expected calendars burst at the seams as we celebrate the art of celebration. Where is Christmas? Mixed in the muddle of Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas is an occasional admittance, a nod of notoriety at the absence of that certain something. Perhaps it is the weather, we lay blame on Mother Nature’s warm wishes or possibly our work is the culprit for draining our desire to deck the halls. It just doesn’t feel like Christmas. Where is Christmas? Decorated homes, storefronts covered in red and green along with colorful cards declare the magic of the season. We rush from gift to gift claiming victory when our list is finally complete. Exhausted we continue to build impossible expectations of things unable to give feelings that can’t be wrapped. We search for joy, 12

we listen for love and we wait impatiently. Where is Christmas? As a child, solace was easily found in the velvet blanket of rye grass underneath a limitless sky. The strength of Mammaw’s hugs would send an energy that no amount of caffeine can conjure. Uninterrupted time with Mommy and Daddy surpassed any designer doll or desired device. The encouraged belief that dreams come true, love lasts and hope conquers all was the gift that needed no bow. It was there I first found Christmas. Christmas is a reminder of a time of wonder, a
the island news | december 24-30, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
time when the entire world really is bright. It is the soft whisper that everything is going to be alright. It is a return to peace, a revisit to values and a treaty with turmoil even if only for one day. Christmas is tranquil, rhythmic like a lullaby, as it illuminates the darkness with twinkles of kindness and hope. Christmas is found in a new Mother’s rest or a sick child’s comfort. It is seen in the generosity of those who give without expectation. Christmas is a husband holding the hand of his wife, a friend carrying the burden of another and a stranger lifting a silent prayer. It is within the quiet corners of celebration that Christmas shines most brightly. Amidst the chaos of obligation, it is the moments of love, minutes of memories and the mere seconds where the whole world stops to take a deep breath. Christmas can’t be bought and it can’t be sold. It can only be given, shared and experienced in the quiet corners of the hearts of friends, family and those willing to believe that goodness, faith and joy aren’t an event, but a necessity. Merry Christmas Beautiful Beaufort from my family to yours, we hope you find Christmas.
