A preview of “Iolanta” and “Bluebeard’s Castle” by The Met at the USCB Center for the Arts Wednesday, February 25, at 1 p.m. By Alan Schuster
First up on-stage for the two oneact performances will be Tchiakovsky’s “Iolanta” which becomes a unique and challenging role for the dynamic diva, Anna Netrebko. Iolanta is blind. Equally distinctive is Bela Bartok’s chilling and intriguingly-crafted “Bluebeard’s Castle” which takes place in a gloomy castle with seven locked doors and only two singing characters on stage throughout the act. Mariusz Trelinski, the artistic director
for these dramatic presentations, defines them this way: “Both are very black and white, partly because they have to do with darkness and light, and partly because these backgrounds allow their female protagonists to stand out.” Iolanta, born blind, is a beautiful princess whose protective father, King Rene, has placed her in the loving care of servants in a secluded garden. Not only blind, she has never been made aware of the meaning of sight. One day,
Rene arrives with a doctor who thinks that Iolanta can be cured, but only if she is told of her disability. Rene says no. Robert, her future husband by an arranged engagement, arrives with his friend Vaudemont. When they see Iolanta, Robert doesn’t realize that she is his betrothed and besides, he is in love with someone else. Vaudemont, however, is entranced by her beauty. OPERA continued on page 8

Living in flip flops on Fripp Island, SC By Karen Natoli
One early morning many years ago, Debbie Slayzk and her friend Julie, came up to me on the beach at Fripp Island, while I was looking for sea turtle tracks. Since I was involved in the program, and Debbie had an interest in the sea turtles, we engaged in conversation. Debbie and her daughter Sarah, have always loved the nature aspect that Fripp has to offer, and they hoped they would someday own a beach home, and also knew it would have to be on Fripp Island. Everything is timing, and the time was now right for Debbie, a single mom, to move from Charlotte, NC, and come to her pursue her dream. She accepted a position in Beaufort SC, as part of the health care program of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Now it was it time to complete the mission, for a working family, to own a beach house. Debbie rented a home on Fripp for a time, where Sarah spent her summers, while on college break. Then when the time was right for Debbie to consider purchasing a home, the next step was to call her old Fripp Island, turtle friend, and realtor, at Fripp Island Real Estate, Karen Natoli. I showed Debbie and Sarah many properties on Fripp over the weeks and
months to follow, this is a big decision, so it is a process, and one I am very familiar with. While they wanted a house on the beach, it just wasn’t in there budget. Karen Fripp Island has Natoli many facets, such as the salt marsh, which produces numerous amounts of food for all of it’s inhabitants, including Egrets, Herons, Clapper Rails, song birds, Wood Storks, Osprey, Eagles and more and of course for all of us Shrimp loving folks, we know that this is, as one of my friends once said, it is “A wondrous place” and Debbie and Sarah knew that too. Back in late winter/early spring of 2014, HGTV contacted Wayne Zerler at Fripp Island Real Estate. When we grasped the reality of what Zerler was saying, we at Fripp Island Real Estate, were psyched. When they came to film in June last year, our 4 day journey began, with getting to the task of filming the story that finds Debbie and Sarah a beach house on Fripp Island, that fits their budget. No secrets revealed here,
stay tuned for more, as you see the whole story unfold! Debbie and I will see the show for the first time, by ourselves, so that we can laugh and have fun with it. Sarah is away at school, so hopefully she will have time to watch the show in NC. We plan to have her on the phone during the show, so that we can all be together and share the experience that was probably the GREATEST experience to date, certainly of my lifetime, next to marrying my husband. On behalf of Debbie, Sarah and myself, to all the folks at HGTV, thanks for coming to Fripp, for being such a delight to work with, for keeping us fueled with food and drinks, and encouragement. I know Fripp Island Real Estate is as thrilled as is Fripp Island Resort is to have had the good fortune of HGTV coming to our special place, we call home. To everyone on Fripp Island, we thank you! To the crew we worked with, the camera people, sound folks, and organizers of our time, a BIG thank you! Lastly to our super producer, “JC”, who always made us look good, and kept us focused, I will always remember, as the next scene was ready to be recorded, his magic words, in Brooklynese, “IN 3, 2, 1 Shoot”!

The deep significance of “cosmetic” dentistry By Dr. Stephen W. Durham
The link between a person’s appearance and their well-being is settled, and that link runs both ways. When people feel well they look good. And the better a person’s appearance, the better they feel. To go even further, a person’s appearance has a lot to do with how they get along in the world. Research shows that people are hard-wired to team up with other people who look good. Through generations we’ve learned to be attracted to folks who appear healthy and capable. Your smile is your passport. Research also gives us some surprising insights about the impact of your smile. One study demonstrated that a smile improves a person’s attractiveness – to both men and women - more than makeup. In another study to determine what attracts people to each other - teeth topped the list. More than hair and clothes, more than hands and nails, more than the car they drive. So, a bright, strong smile signals good qualities in a way everybody understands.
Sometimes nature needs a hand. Over time, teeth and gums face a lot of demanding use. Eventually, for most of us, they show it. They become darker, or even discolored. They wear down and shorten the length of a person’s face, sometimes even causing or adding to wrinkles. Occasionally a tooth or two just goes missing. And over time conventional amalgam fillings can make our teeth shine in colors and places we probably didn’t intend. Fortunately dentistry has more and better tools to address these issues than ever before. Cosmetic dentistry can brighten, straighten, add or reduce volume, replace, contour and crown teeth so that just about anybody can have the smile that they would be proud to show. And show more often. The best ways ever are here and now. The restorations we use at our practice for fillings, caps and crowns blend with your teeth in a matching color, because we use porcelain and composites rather than “silver” amalgam. As a mercury-free
practice from the first, we come down on the side of extra safety for both our patients and the environment. White, bonded fillings fuse very tightly with the Dr. Stephen existing tooth, so Durham there’s less chance of future decay. And they don’t transfer heat and cold the way metal fillings do, so the results are more comfortable as well as more attractive. Recontouring teeth, to sculpt more attractive edges, improves comfort and function too. Dental implants replace teeth that are missing or better off gone. They can transform a person’s whole appearance, and now with mini-implants the process can take hours rather than weeks and months. Turn on the lights. Whitening your smile is another great way to dial up your appearance
and influence. In just about an hour ZOOMTM whitening gives dazzling results. Some patients choose an affordable, professional-strength at-home alternative for whitening, like the Opalescence© whitening system. Today patients find that it’s really practical to achieve their own best smile, and when they take that step the positive impact in their lives is even more than they expected. We work with people closely to help them choose the path that suits them best. A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Stephen Durham, DMD, MAGD, is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. He is a past recipient of the LVI Fellowship Award for Neuromuscular and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Durham practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort.

Pledge received to help 5 local Veterans with PTSD/TBI Braincore of the Lowcountry is offering a option for those suffering from PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury which is gaining attention across the globe. BrainCore Neurofeedback is a cutting edge technology which teaches one to retrain the brain to produce balanced brainwave patterns. A “matching donor” has pledged to assist with half the investment to provide for five of our local heroes to participate in the program this year. Our approach is painless, drugless, non-invasive, has no harmful side effects and creates permanent change. From 2002 to June 2014 over 364,000 people were treated for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). “Most of these people served in a war, but a traumatic event like assault, an accident or disaster can cause the disorder”, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Symptoms of PTSD cluster around four areas: reliving the events, avoiding situations that remind one of the events, negative changes in the individual and feeling keyed-up all the time. Currently there are two avenues of treatment - either several types of psychotherapy (counseling) or medications or a combination of both. Both can cause additional problems and are only partially helpful according to a recent article in the New York Times newspaper, “After PTSD, More Trauma”, Sunday, January 18, 2015. According to Dianne Kosto, BCN-T, Owner of BrainCore of the Lowcountry “We offer a third option for those suffering from PTSD and TBI. Once accepted into our program, our clients are 4
the island news | february 12-18, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
hooked-up to a computer with sensors. The computer detects proper patterns and will visually and audibly ‘reward’ the brain. The brain learns how and when to produce certain brainwaves and new neural pathways are created. These changes are permanent after a series of sessions. A typical PTSD client will need approximately 6080 sessions, TBI can require more. Many of those who suffer from these disorders are unable to produce the income to support themselves and family and are in need of our help. We can and often do donate our services but in order to be able to continue to do so must have community support as well. We are so excited to have this generous matching donor step up to give back to our Veterans! Honor Our Heroes Foundation and Peaceful Henry’s Cigar Shop have raised funds to help as well.” We are now seeking five Veterans in need to take advantage of this pledge and additional contributions for our donor to match. We plan to publish the results in a “Study” format to further provide scientific support for Neurofeedback and PTSD/TBI. Contact Dianne Kosto at BrainCore. Dianne@gmail.com to contribute and to see if you or someone you know may qualify as a candidate to receive BrainCore Neurofeedback.

Life is all about the “M” word By Brittney Hiller
If for one second, you read that title and thought “Money” – have I got the article for you! The simple fact is – life is not about money; it is about making “Memories.” So, I ask dear wise soul, what have you done lately to create them? This New Year has allowed for a simple shift in my home life. Usually I would attend, teach, or practice yoga on my own and my adorable husband would do his own thing – in regards to exercise. However, a spark lit recently, and some how we are now on this journey together making it our mission to swim everyday. I realized on my way home after a swim that we are not just being active and becoming more mindful of health, we are creating memories and becoming each other’s incredible support system! Sure, it is easy to tell someone – “hey, you should exercise and get healthy,” but when you are personally laying in bed in the morning with nothing else to do and expect them to get up and go along with out you, what kind of a support system is that? I say this because that is exactly what I did last year. Instead of suggesting we do something we could benefit from, enjoy, and be together at – I ‘suggested’ he hit the gym while I was away teaching yoga

at night. It was a system that did not work and certainly didn’t contribute to making memories. Instead, it caused hardship and disappointment due to most in part – my unrealistic expectations. When the spark happened, something clicked that was beyond my control and I am currently in LOVE with it. My husband became interested in my new way of eating (I was participating in a sugar detox graciously hosted by the fabulous, Carol Morrissey) – the food was divine and easy to make and he enjoyed them all! He became interested in swimming again – a long loved activity that hadn’t been enjoyed in ages. I love swimming, personally as I am able to get my cardio in without the dreadful act of running (in my humble opinion it is not my best fit for working out, but

he rocks at it and often leaves me behind). With this new idea we hit the local gym and began swimming together. We are able to practice at our own pace and still meet back together in the end after one or two laps, as opposed to the “see you at home,” way of working out whenever anything else was involved. We are making memories one swim meeting at a time and the joy of doing something together makes it that much more realistic and successful! The simplest actions in life can create the greatest memories! Choose your favorite “M” word and remember - “Memories” are forever – “Money” comes and goes. Make your imprint in someone’s memory, today! Brittney Hiller is known as one of the happiest Yogini’s — she has practiced yoga for over a decade and can be found at every yoga studio in Beaufort. Find out more information on her at www. brittneyhilleryoga.com.

Art integration at Lady’s Island Elementary benefits students By Marvelle L. Ulmer
Lady’s Island Elementary School’s (L.I.E.S.) motto “Soaring to excellence in academics and the arts” serves as the compass which guides the present direction of the school. As a result of our steadfast commitment to the arts and employing data driven decision making the school has received numerous accolades. Local author Claudia Cornett featured the school in Creating Meaning Through Literature and the Arts: Arts Integration for Classroom teachers. Another recognition dear to our heart is the Verner Award, which is South Carolina’s highest award designed to recognize outstanding achievement and contributions to the arts in South Carolina. The district received this award last spring for its support of the arts. Four students will perform with the South Carolina Elementary Honors Choir in early February, and two dozen students will strive to be recognized as artistically gifted and talented by auditioning in an art category. The school is an Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) School and was the recipient of a Distinguished Arts Program grant. Lady’s Island Elementary’s past was in the arts and its clear given the success of the school that its future is bright in the arts. Lady’s Island Elementary is a school passionate about the arts and the benefits it provides students. In addition to using the intelligences, our students develop public speaking skills and social skills. They also learn to work with others. These skills, dubbed soft skills, prepare them to be successful in school and to be productive citizens. The success of our students is attributed to the devotion of our teachers, support of our parents, and the hard work of our students. Parents love the welcoming, warm atmosphere that combines with personalized attention for their child. Students enjoy being involved in the extra curricular activities and participating

continued from page 1 Later when he asks her to give him a red rose as a keepsake and Iolanta hands him a white one twice, he realizes that she is blind. René overhears Vaudémont talking to her and is furious with him for revealing the secret to her. With no will of her own, Iolanta doesn’t even know if she wants to have sight. When the doctor tells Rene that only by awakening her desire to see can a change be possible, Rene finally agrees. The treatment works and Iolanta gains sight and Rene consents to her marriage to Vaudemont. But sight doesn’t bring Iolanta her expected deliverance. Now she can’t believe that the people she loves look the way they do. But her love for Vaudémont and the wedding ceremony subdue her fears. 8
in special initiatives like Read across America. Our students are engaged in readers’ and writers’ workshops, the traditional curriculum and technology like students in other Beaufort County School District schools. What makes our school unique? It’s the arts. Students experience exceptional theatre, dance, art, and music instruction from our Academic Arts teachers as well as using these art forms to make connections and cement learning in their academic subjects. The leadership team here truly wants to take advantage of the research that indicates that students who learn through active engagement with artsinfused lessons learn at an accelerated rate and retain what they’ve learned. Therefore, teachers plan lessons that include these elements so that our students will have every opportunity for success. The school also provides many opportunities for those who show extra talent in the arts to further
develop their skills. We have Show Choir, strings, and drumming for those who simply love music and those with exceptional musical abilities. These students participated in Beaufort’s Night on the Town, had an outstanding Christmas performance, and performed songs and clowning skits for the community. There is our Today’s Artistically Creative Talented (TACT) program for those who have a special aptitude in the visual arts. These students’ artwork is displayed throughout the community. For those that love to be dramatic, there are stories alive and many opportunities to participate in productions. Upcoming 5th grade productions will include Peter Pan and Cinderella. Perhaps you could come out and enjoy these productions this spring. LEAP is for gifted dancers. They participated in the school’s Patriotic Assembly and holiday program. They were one of the few elementary schools to take part in the local dance festival.
Lady’s Island Elementary is a school with a special arts focus; however, we also offer interesting sports activities. There is the running club where runners can earn rewards for different mileage clubs from the Marathon Club all the way up to and beyond the 100 mile club. There is also a world class sport stacking team here at Lady’s Island. Several of our members have been named as part of Team USA. Most of the state records are held by former members of the Lady’s Island Stacking teams. In addition to the state records several of our team members hold national and world records. Most importantly our goal is to prepare our students academically. Teachers are receiving additional professional development weekly to incorporate best practices into their lessons. Technology is integrated into classrooms throughout the school day. Our media specialist encourages children to read through the Read Across America program and the twelve days of reading holiday program in which incentives are provided to students who participate. Students also enjoy the many technology projects created by the media technology team. Lady’s Island Elementary is a school that offers an exceptional learning experience. The instructional leaders love working with students, and they make learning fun. Students at Lady’s Island Elementary School excel in a rich academic environment where they are motivated to learn via arts infusion. We welcome our community to visit our school to explore “Beaufort’s Best Kept Secret” up close and personal or join us for one of our spring performances. Marvelle L. Ulmer is the Principal at Lady’s Island Elementary School. Each year LIBPA invites each of the schools (public and private) on Lady’s Island to contribute an article about their school. This article was provided in response to that invitation.
Duke Bluebeard and his new wife Judith has come to live with him in his castle. She’s aware of terrifying rumors about him and even fears that she may never be able to leave, yet she decides to go forward. They enter the castle and Judith confesses her love for Bluebeard, believing that it will help lighten up his gloomy existence. She repeats her profession of love, insisting that the locked doors to seven rooms in a huge, dark hall must be opened. The first one is a torture chamber, the second an armory. These rooms terrify her. The next doors conceal a treasury and a garden. Then Bluebeard shows her a window to his empire, with ruins and blood everywhere: on lands, weapons, flowers, jewels. But she doesn’t want to yield to Bluebeard who says, “Love me” and “Ask no questions.” Instead, she pleads for him to open up to her, and reveal his inner self and fears. She firmly demands that the remaining
two doors be opened. The sixth door, which conceals a sea of tears, is where Judith reaches the limit of knowledge, leaving only the final door. Behind it is a space beyond life where Bluebeard has concealed his three previous wives. Bluebeard explains that he found the first at sunrise, the second at noon, and the third at sunset. Judith, his fourth, was found at midnight, and will now become queen over them. She passes through the door and joins them, becoming a part of Bluebeard’s space forever as the door closes. Reviews of earlier performances by the N.Y. Times and Wall Street Journal include these comments. “Tchiakovsky’s music for Iolanta is wistful, tremulous and full of yearning... Ms. Netrebko communicates through her bittersweet singing, yet with flashes of vocal intensity” (NYT). “Ms. Netrebko embraced the title role with inchoate longings with full-throated fervor...
Tenor Piotr Beczala sang Vaudemont with pure exuberant sweetness.” (WSJ). About “Bluebeard”, the NYT writes that soprano Nadja Michael “brings a strong, bright voice and visceral intensity to Judith. The bass, Mikhail Petrenko...has a grainy, villainous sound that mostly captures Bluebeard’s twisted malevolence. As for the WSJ’s take: “The warmth and richness of Najda Michael’s soprano and her sensuous movements seem to beat fruitlessly against the hardedged cruelty of the castle rooms, each more devastating than the last. The orchestra, under Valerie Gergiev, is like a fierce animal.” Please note 12:30 starting time. Both operas are staged in 1940s settings. All seats are general admission. Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10. Or order online at www. uscbcenterfor thearts.com. Box office opens at 11:30 a.m.: 843-521-4145.

RDM Golf Tournament to raise funds for brain cancer research By Kelly Collins
The RDM Golf Tournament is in memory of my dad who passed away in April 2013 from a Glioblastoma Brain Tumor. All proceeds from the tournament go to help fund brain cancer research. Glioblastomas are the most aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer. The median survival rate for a glioblastoma patient who is treated with chemotherapy and radiation is 14.6 months. With only 30 % of patients surviving two years and less than 10% will survive five years. Treatment is very difficult because these type of tumors contain so many types of cells and reproduce so quickly. There is no known cause for these tumors. My dad was an avid golfer and spent most of his time golfing, boating and spending time with his grandchildren, This tournament was his idea, as a way that our family can help other families who are affected by this terrible disease. Last year was our Inaugural year and we raised almost $20,000.00. The tournament will once again take place at Sanctuary Golf Course on Cat Island in Beaufort. The event is Saturday, March 28th. If is a Four Man Scramble Tournament and Tee Time is at 12 noon. $100.00 per golfer which includes golf,
Fourth grader Jack McDougall was Beaufort Academy’s lone participant in the Golden Isles Chess Tournament on Saturday, January 31st... and he won the Elementary Division! Congratulations Jack!

Age 18 all or 21 –your Age of majority (differs by state). Money set aside for you in UTMA/UGMA accounts for minors is now legally yours. Age 25 and 30 – Auto insurance premiums typically decrease, assuming you have a good driving record. Age 26-Dependent status ends. Even if you are a full time student, you cannot be carried as a dependent on your parents’ tax return. Age 50 – A welcome letter from the American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) usually arrives. You may be eligible for senior discounts in restaurants, at department stores, and on travel services. Age 55 – You may be able to access funds from a 401(k) plan if you leave your employer and the plan includes an early retirement provision. This may also be a good time to consider IRA rollovers. Age 59 1/2 – You are past the 10 percent penalty tax on withdrawals from traditional IRAs, annuities, and qualified retirement plans. You may want to leave this money untouched to continue its tax-deferred growth. Age 62 – Earliest age to receive Social Security retirement benefits, but amounts are reduced. Also, you may lose some of your benefits if you continue working and earn income over a certain amount. Age 65 – Traditionally the normal retirement age for full Social Security benefits, however, an increase to age 67 for full benefits is being phased in. Good news: You may work as much as you want without losing any benefits once you reach your full retirement age (age 65 for persons born before 1938; gradually increases to age 67 for those born in 1960 or after). Age 70 – Deferring receipt of Social Security retirement benefits until this age generates the maximum annual benefits. Weigh this option against the opportunity to invest the money if you begin receiving benefits at an early age.

Age 90 – The default distribution option on an annuity contract may automatically activate at this age, so contact the company ahead of time to select a distribution option to best fit your needs. Age 100 – Most cash value life insurance policies endow, meaning benefits are paid as if you had died. If you don’t need the money for long-term care expenses, perhaps it’s time to set up college accounts for great-grandchildren.

Cupid hits the bullseye with new ICU
he 26th Annual Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Annual Valentine Ball was a smashing success! Over 600 people attended this year’s black tie fundraising event which was chaired by Dr. Andy and Laura Beall and Dr. D.J. and Ryan Christian (Ryan). The “Winter Garden” theme had the second floor of the LifeFit building sparkling, and the 17 South band kept the dance floor full to the end! Since its inception in 1990, the Valentine Ball has
raised nearly $4.5 million for the not-for-profit hospital. Proceeds from this year’s event will help finance the renovation and much-needed expansion of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the second floor of the hospital. The new unit will be able to accommodate 50% more patients, equipped with state-of-the-art cardiac monitors, lift equipment, and special ICU beds. It will also include thoughtfully designed family consultation and waiting rooms.

I experienced excruciating headaches, ear congestion, ringing in the ears, a tight jaw, and neck issues for years. After becoming a patient at Durham Dental and talking extensively with Dr. Stephen
Durham and his amazing staff I made one of the best decisions of my life to proceed with TMJ treatment. I was honestly skeptical that it would help in so many areas of my life. I did not understand how everything was related to my bite. Well,

Community Foundation. “We saw partnerships and collaboration across the philanthropic landscape, from donors to nonprofits to volunteers. The web of interactions defies simple categories as arts organizations partnered with food banks, hospitals with early childhood literacy programs, and so on. It was truly an ecosystem’s worth of positive partnerships.” Those partnerships were apparent during the reception program, as Coastal Community Foundation staff members Richard Hendry, Ali Titus and Gloria Duryea highlighted unexpected connections between grantees. For example, Clemson University Extension Services in Colleton County runs a program on healthy eating for families
that is operated in conjunction with Lowcountry Food Bank. Lowcountry Food Bank also partners with YMCA of Beaufort County, helping to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to children participating in the YMCA’s afterschool programs. One of the YMCA’s many afterschool program sites is hosted by Agape Family Life Center of Jasper County. Agape also partners with Antioch Educational Center to offer a computer class program. Coastal Community Foundation is proud to support the important services provided by these and countless other organizations through The Beaufort Fund. Since its founding in 1998, The Beaufort Fund has awarded nearly $7 million in grants to local organizations across Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper Counties. Grants are recommended by a diverse committee of community leaders drawn from across the four counties.

Installation of fire sprinklers in CAPA shelter on Saturday Beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, February 14th, Beaufort-Port Royal firefighters and fire engineers will install a fire protection sprinkler system at the CAPA shelter for abused children in Port Royal. Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron reached out to the Savannah River Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers to partner on the sprinkler installation. The engineer association sets aside funding for community projects such as the CAPA House. Ralph Foster, former president of the Savannah Chapter, will bring 12 volunteers to assist with the sprinkler installation, alongside 12 Beaufort-Port Royal firefighters, Negron said.
“Installing this fire protection sprinkler system is our way to help protect these children and their families, and to help protect our community,” Negron said. “ This is an important project for CAPA, but it’s an important project for us as members of this community.” The entire project is being completed at no cost to the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) through volunteers, grants obtained by CAPA and support of the Savannah River Chapter of Fire Protection Engineers, the Town of Port Royal, the BeaufortPort Royal Fire Department and the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority.

Another survey! By Lee Scott
How many times have you gone into the grocery store, or your bank or your local department store and the clerk says “Please complete the survey which you will find at the end of your receipt. You may win a prize.” Then she adds, “Please say good things about me, because we are rated on how many people send in positive reviews.” Now the pressure is on because you really like the clerk and she is always very pleasant and efficient. So you go home and decide before you throw that receipt away, “Why not? I can plug in my “enter code here” on their website.” What harm? First you have to agree to “our terms” and by the way, “have you read our Privacy Policy?” It is a hyperlink so realistically most people who have gotten this far do not bother
Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
to read it. Basically what it is saying is that they are probably not going to sell any of the information you provide except to their affiliates one of which happens to be a large Tele-marketing Firm. After agreeing to all the rules, you proceed to the questions which need to be answered before you are “Entered into the sweepstakes”. Here are some of the questions on the latest survey.
How old are you? How much is your family income? What are your shopping habits? I feel all of this information going into some large data base that already knows most of my buying habits. Yes, I use those 20% off coupons from Bed, Bath and Beyond that already have a code on them. Yes, I run over to Talbots for their 60% off sales and to Belk’s for their Senior Days. (Over 55) I know that I am getting tracked anyway, but
I am not comfortable answering all these personal questions on a survey to win some small prize. All I want to do is provide my name and phone number to qualify for the sweepstakes and hopefully win a prize. And of course, I want to say good things about the clerk. There is another real problem I discovered after filling out one of these surveys. The SPAM filter on my AOL account goes on hyper-drive for three days or so. Incredible amount of e-mails and they all want to sell me something based on my buying habits. So the next time you get the “You could win” receipt or notices. Go ahead and do what you normally do, just throw it away. I understand. Because the truth be told, the less people that enter the sweepstakes, helps to increase my odds for winning.
Sunsets and street signs By Lilianne Walker
I left for college with a pre-meditated mindset that these sunsets and street signs had nothing to do with the person I have become. But every time I come home from school, I am reminded of just another reason why that is as far from true as a statement could be. Of course, I am capable of recognizing these things on my own. However, it wasn’t until I brought a friend home from Winthrop that I began to make the connections. My friend, Mikayla, and I have had quite the chaotic start to our spring semester and we unanimously decided that a brief sabbatical was what we needed. We tossed our most comfortable clothes (and probably dirty because college kids do not place laundry among their priorities) in the back of
my Honda Civic and it almost seemed like my car knew the way back to the Lowcountry. The smell of saltwater was as comforting as a hug from my Lilianne Walker mom. It was so gratifying for me to be able to cruise through town, all the way explaining to her the memories that coincided with each square inch of land. I feel as though after spending time seeing the things I’ve seen for the majority of my life, she understands more clearly why I am the way I am. My laid back agenda. Why I love people the way I do. In conversation en route back to school,
I attempted to pick her brain on the topic. There wasn’t much prying to be done on my end seeing that she willingly exposed her thoughts about my hometown. “In coming to Beaufort” she explained, “I got to see, in just a couple days, the way in which you were raised, why your values are shaped the way they are. I got to meet really great friends and members of your family and I can see a little bit of each of them in you. The history, the architecture, the water, the sunsets: everything is a symbol of Beaufort’s easy-going lifestyle. In a hectic college scene, I now see how your easy-going lifestyle helps to bring us all back down to reality and back to what’s most important in life.” Her words resonated with me and filled me with an undeniable
amount of pride. I have yet to find the word to describe the feeling I feel when I am sure of being valued by those surrounding me. The words that she spoke to me quickly became one of my favorite compliments to date. The chances of me writing an “I’m proud to be a Beaufortonian” anthem are rather slim. However, my answer to the “do you miss home?” question is much different now than it was three months ago. Lilianne Walker wasn’t born in Beaufort, but moving here so early in her life makes her enough of a Beaufortonian. She knows this is a great place to be from, but her aspirations are taking her all over the world, not just the Lowcountry. She’s an up and coming writer attending Winthrop University.

wine
The return of the hundred dollar case
By Celia Strong
Gone are the days of many things. At many prices. For instance, we’ll never see two thousand dollar Volkswagen Beetles again. Except in junk yards, maybe. Sold for parts. Gone are the days when it took ten French Francs to make one United States dollar. And the bargain traveling and shopping we got away with at that exchange rate. And gone are the days when we could find so many wines for less than they cost now. But! From out of nowhere. When you least expect it. It comes again. The hundred dollar case of wine. Yippee! As we already know, or should already know, Shiraz is a red grape variety that is worth its weight in gold to the Australian wine industry. There is much more to Shiraz, and Shiraz wines, than just Australia. But, it is not called Shiraz everywhere, so we can be forgiven for not realizing how much of it is grown around the world. (I’m sure you’re saying to yourself, “It’s Syrah!”) Shiraz and Syrah are identical to each other. Genetically. But the styles of wines that they make can be worlds apart. Shiraz, as it is called in Australia and most New World wine producing countries, is known for big, rich, bold, juicy textured, high alcohol wines. The first taste tells you everything. A style that has its place in our ongoing study wines and in our drinking repertoires. Syrah, as the grape is called in France, and most of Europe, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand as well as some cooler growing areas like Washington State, produces wines that are more subtle, although still powerful, with layers of complexities. (Yes, I know. Some New World sources, too.) A let-me-have-

another-glass sytle, so I don’t miss any nuances. Both styles of wine are known for their blueberry, black cherry and black currant flavors, along with hints of chocolate or cocoa powder, pepper spiciness and cassis. A big, bold, heavy Shiraz can be great with a grilled steak, while a more subtle Syrah can be perfect with roast port, poultry and seafood. It’s so easy to see the style differences in terms of food. Moving forward, we should review Shiraz as it lives and breathes in Australia. James Busby is known as “the father of Australian viticulture.” In 1831, returned to Australia from a trip through the vineyards of France and Spain. Syrah rootstocks were one of the treasures he brought back with him. The first were planted in the Sydney Botanical Gardens, then in the Hunter region and, in 1839, in South Australia. By the 1860’s, Shiraz was an important variety in Australia. South Australia, which is the large region that covers the southeastern corner (duh!) of the country, produces more than half of all the wine made in Australia. (The country exports two hundred million gallons of wine a year.) Across this region there is a range of climates. The inland areas are very hot, while the coastal areas are cooler. Vines can grow on the valley floors (like Barossa) as well as up to
two thousand above sea level (like Riverland). And soil types vary from limestone-marl to sandy, clay loam. Since the 1960’s, Australia’s wine laws have developed to distinguish geographic areas of origin for their wines. At least eighty-five percent of the grapes in a bottle have to come from the region designated on its label. The wine also has to be made from eighty-five percent of the grape named on a label. It seems, too, that there is now a symbol on Australian wine labels that tells the buyer how many standard size drinks are in a bottle. I haven’t seen it, yet, on bottles shipped to the United States, but the information I’ve seen says a seven hundred fifty milliliter bottle has eight and a third drinks in it. Really? That’s not even close to possible at my house. Or at anyone else’s house that I know. Maybe they use really small glasses down under? So, now, we are at our wine for this week. S x S Shiraz. The name is actually “Side by Side,” but the S x S is a cute way of writing it. This is (mostly) an Australian style Shiraz. As it should be. It is full of rich dark fruit flavors and chocolate. There are plums, black currants, and blueberries all sliding across your tongue, along with a hint of white pepper and baking spices. It is juicy feeling in your mouth, which keeps you sipping. (Another reason I just can’t see eight and a third glasses in a bottle.) And, it has a long finish with mild tannins. Once you taste this Shiraz, you’ll see it is mostly Australian in style. But not quite completely. It’s only thirteen and a half percent alcohol, a bit high but not overpowering. And, it does show a
It is full of rich dark fruit flavors and chocolate. There are plums, black currants, and blueberries all sliding across your tongue, along with a hint of white pepper and baking spices. range of subtleties as you sip through each glass. Complexities! The thing is, this wine is on deal for $9.97 a bottle. But, and here’s the return to prices long gone - a whole case is $100. Even. (Yes, plus tax.) But that means, if you buy ten bottles you get two free. So not only has the hundred dollar case come back. So have freebies. While they last. Enjoy.

Tracie Korol, author of BowWOW! leaving Beaufort By Deb Duer
The Island News is saying good-bye to Tracie Korol, the author of the wonderful BowWOW! articles on pets. She has been writing for The Island News for as long as the paper has been around, since 2008. We would like to give our sincere thanks to Tracie for her contribution to the Beaufort Community and wish her the best as she
moves on to Portland, OR. I asked her if she had any parting thoughts for our readers and this is what she said; “I guess my final message might be--be an advocate for the creature that loves you the most. A real advocate. Don’t accept anything that concerns your animal at face value. Look it up (that’s why we have the google machine), talk to people, get a
second opinion, do some research, read the labels. Think about things. No one is going to love you more than your dog does. No one. No one is going to accept you just the way you are-- warts, farts, bad singing, bad hair, buck naked under fluorescent light, and all. For that level of acceptance, we owe our Best Friends the effort.”
The Island News would like to invite a new writer to take over the Pets section in the paper. If anyone is interested please submit a proposal to theislandnews@ gmail.com.
Look for Tracie Korol’s last Pets feature in next week’s issue.
