According to Turbeville Insurance Agency, water damage is the most common reason for a home insurance claim. So Flo Technologies has created a smart home device called Flo that proactively monitors a home’s water supply and can detect leaks as small as a drip per minute anywhere in the home. After having the system installed on your home’s main supply line and downloading the app, Flo can immediately identify whether you have a leak in your home or not. If there is a leak, Flo will alert you to the vulnerability in your pipes and you can schedule maintenance or shut off the water directly from the mobile app. Also, if you’re on vacation and away from your smart phone, and a burst pipe occurs, Flo will take action on your behalf by auto-

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT
Individuals who are married or in a committed relationship face the possibility they’ll end up managing finances alone at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, the first time many experience handling complicated financial matters alone is during a personal crisis following the death or divorce of a spouse or partner. We’ve prepared a list of thought-provoking questions pertaining to financial fitness and crisis preparedness. You can use these as a starting point to check how prepared you are to handle a personal financial crisis in your life. Begin by reviewing the questions, determine what you’ve already done, and check those items off the list. For the questions you need to address or take action on, seek the advice of professional advisors and trusted family members. Asset management • Do I have a clear picture of where my

There are as many Malbec flavors can range from black cherry versions of it as most other grapes — some in cooler climates (like Cahors, France, Pataheavier, some smoother textured, some fruit- gonia, or Washington state) to raspberry to ier. The more we try, the more we have to plum to blackberry in warmer climates (Menchoose from on our lists of wine we like. Lon- doza).

The finish of many
Malbec wines includes some smokiness. With food, these wines can be very flexible. They go well with lean meats, beef obviously, but also ostrich and buffalo. Smoother juicier style ones can pair successfully with seafood and roast poultry and duck. They go well with a variety of cheeses such as Manchego, blue, aged Gouda and cheddar, and cheese from goat milk. Also, they complement earthy flavors like mushrooms and cumin. The winery for this week’s wine is Robert Mondavi — which is why I warned not to judge a wine by its label. Well known for its higher tier wines from Napa, this winery is responsible for getting many of America’s wine drinkers started. Mondavi was an innovator. When Americans didn’t like Sauvignon Blanc, years ago, he made one blended with a tiny bit of Semillon and called it Fumé Blanc. There were acres of Zinfandel growing in California, many of them old vines, when Americans didn’t like dry red wines, so Mondavi made White Zinfandel. When we
did start liking drier wines, red and white, we couldn’t all afford Napa Cabernets. He made Woodbridge. And, later, he introduced Robert Mondavi Private Selection wines. Not only did Mondavi make great wines, he made great wines at every level so everyone could enjoy good wine. Our wine is the Robert Mondavi Private Selection Malbec, which is made from grapes grown in Mendoza, Argentina. This wine is full of intense blackberry, plum, blueberry and pomegranate flavors. It has hints of smoke, vanilla, coconut, coffee and chocolate. It is medium bodied with a smooth, juicy texture and goes with a multitude of foods. But, more than that, it’s just right for sipping at length, glass after glass. A delicious Malbec like this is a treasure, and a welcome departure from typical every day Napa wines. Remember, it’s not what the label says, but what’s in your glass. For only $7.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

What is Your Source of Joy? Our hearts are created for joy that the world cannot give or take away Only about a third of Americans say that they are happy. Each year Time Magazine conducts a study asking Americans about their happiness. For the last ten years, the results have been very consistent: only about a third of Americans respond that they are happy. Other studies have similar results. How can this be? Our nation is one of the richest in the world. We are living longer than ever before. From a worldly perspective, we have all the ingredients for happiness. And yet, how many of us are truly happy? How many of us have true joy? Our worldly blessings do not always bring joy. For example, we have more options for entertainment than ever before: hundreds of television channels, video streaming over the internet, and ways to connect by social media. But are we happier? Instead of bringing joy, don’t these things often make us feel lonely or unfulfilled? Even though we are surrounded by so many worldly blessings, why are we so often without joy? The apostle Paul had the opposite experience. During his ministry, he experienced tremendous sufferings in his efforts to share Christ: persecution, physical beatings, constant rejection, and even shipwrecks! (2 Cor 11) And yet he was a man filled with joy. He could even encourage his readers, “Rejoice always! I say it again, rejoice!” (Phil 4:4)
All of us desire a deep, authentic joy that cannot be taken away. The good news is that this desire can actually be fulfilled! God placed this yearning in our hearts so we can start to seek him out. All of the beautiful and good things which we experience in our lives are meant to point us to him, so we can experience the even deeper joy that comes from knowing him. Christians should be happy, joy-filled people! In the coming weeks, we will be sharing some of our reasons for joy as Christians. We hope that you will find these messages an encouragement and an inspiration.
What are your reasons for joy?
Paul’s experience shows us that there is a deeper source of joy which comes from God. There are many things that help us feel happiness or joy in a particular moment, such as spending time with a friend or winning a championship game. But most of the joys given by the world only last for a while, or the sources of joy can be taken away or lost.

Bridges Prep Teacher of the Year Diana Price surprised with flowers and balloons Tuesday with (l-r) Board of Director member Tom Angelo, Board Chair Dee Matthew, Diana Price, and Chris Wilson.
Diana Price, an experienced science teacher in her first year at Bridges Prep, brings determination and compassion to the classroom – and now she brings the title of Bridges Prep Teacher of the Year. Members of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors, Interim Head of School Chris Wilson and Interim Assistant Head of School Dr. Sherri Herbst surprised Price in the Upper School lunchroom last week with the award. “Diana Price finds ways to connect with each student, and she works hard to make sure each student learns something in her classroom, even if science isn’t their strong suit,” Board Chair Dee Matthews said. “It’s a special gift and we are so pleased to have her at Bridges.” As Bridges Prep’s Teacher of the Year, Price’s next step will be to submit paperwork for the S.C. Charter School District statewide Teacher of the Year. Her teaching peers at Bridges Prep voted her as the school’s Teacher of the Year. “From her first week in the Upper School at Bridges, we could all tell we had something special in her,” Wilson said. “We expect more great things from her and from all her students because of the magic in her classroom.” Price earned her bachelor’s degree in sec-
ondary education and a Master’s of Science in biological sciences at Clemson University. “I recognize that all of my students are at different levels in their learning,” Price said. “Some are great speakers, others are talented at designing things, and some are clever with numbers. I have a duty to all students as they enter my classroom to recognize their potential, embrace their strengths, and work on developing their weaknesses. “It is my end goal,” she said, “that all of my students I have the honor to teach leave my classroom knowing three significant things: They are capable, they are loved, and they should never stop learning.” A deep desire to be close to the ocean motivated her and her husband to move to Beaufort, she said. At Beaufort High, she taught Anatomy & Physiology Honors, Anatomy & Physiology College Preparatory, and Principles of Biomedical Sciences. Price joined Bridges Prep in 2017. At Bridges, she teaches Earth Science, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and STEM. She is bringing the National Honor Society to Bridges and jumped into the role of treasurer for the Bridges Parent Teacher Organization.

VOICES
A winter’s walk on the beach It is that time of year again. The quiet time between Christmas and Easter. The Christmas decorations are safely put away except for those few you missed. It is not time yet to think about unpacking all those ceramic Easter bunnies and Easter baskets. There are no visitors stopping by on their way north or south and the kids are in school. Now is the time for the long-awaited winter’s walk on the beach. To me, there is nothing more relaxing than our beach, especially when the only people you see out there are locals. The last walk I took out at Hunting Island State Park was early in December. It was right after the Full Cold Moon or Super moon as it was called. Brandy, my canine companion, and I went out one morning and left behind the Thanksgiving leftovers, the unopened containers of Christmas decorations along
Now what?

with the unaddressed Christmas cards. We watched that morning as the sun rose up over the horizon. There were no clouds and the sunlight on the water sparkled. The tide was very high, and the waves were spectacular. I did not want to leave it was so beautiful. There were only a few people at the park with me and Brandy that morning. The beach was very quiet because the Thanksgiv-
ing visitors had gone home, and the Christmas company had not arrived. She was the one that got tired before me.“Come on, Mom” she seemed to say as she tugged on her leash. “We have things to do and treats to eat.” Driving out of the park, I realized how much work had been completed since Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Irma. Although there is still a lot of work to be done,
the accomplishments so far have been astonishing. Regardless, it is the beach that beckoned me that day and even more now. This is the time of year when we get some warm beautiful days. There are very few visitors and the tourist season has not started. The only people out there are those of us who want to sit on the sand, maybe get our feet wet, and just admire the scenery. I met a woman from Columbia recently and she said, “You are so lucky to live here in Beaufort. Everyday there is something else beautiful to admire — the flowers, the marshes, and the moss hanging from the live oaks.” “Oh, you are so right,” I replied. “But you should really come back and visit in the summer when you can enjoy our beach too.” We do not have to give away all our secrets, now do we?
Mysterious Lady's Island herb shop cited By Bill Rauch
First it was the traffic, then it was the brazen midday break-in, that raised suspicions in the quiet waterfront Lady’s Island neighborhood. Daytime hold-ups just don’t happen there. And generally there are more dog-walkers on the street than cars. A moment’s online sleuthing led a concerned neighbor to conclude that “a leader in the Southeast kratom industry” was operating down the street. Why would the neighbor think that? Because that’s exactly what it says on Beaufort Kratom’s webpage. “What’s this kratom?” they then asked. And, “Is it OK for them to be selling the stuff in a residential neighborhood?” Measured in kilos, and packed in clear plastic vacuum-sealed bags with barely professional markings, the ground-into-powder dried leaves of the exotic plant resemble the contraband that law enforcement agencies are fond of having photographed surrounded by stolen firearms and stacks of cash after big drug busts. But kratom’s not contraband — at least not in South Carolina. Its defenders say in mild doses — much like a cup of strong coffee — the herb aids relaxation, it aids in focusing attention, and is a mild stimulant. Detractors say the drug is addictive with users experiencing side effects when they try to quit such as insomnia, nausea, vomiting, runny eyes, anxiousness, depression and more. The neighbor wondered then, quite reasonably, why the company’s website announces in big red letters at the top that Beaufort Kratom won’t ship to Alabama, Vermont, Tennessee, Arkansas, Rhode Island and Wisconsin? Because the sale of kratom is illegal in those states. Moreover, last week U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb released a statement officially labeling kratom an opioid because upon analysis in the federal government’s laboratories, two of the five most prevalent compounds in kratom were shown to latch on to the human body’s opioid receptors in just the same way opioids do. Without saying so specifically, the clear implication of Commissioner Gottlieb’s statement was that the gov-
ernment’s research indicated that kratom is addictive. The 44 recent deaths linked to use of the drug were also noted in the commissioner’s stern warning. Next will come the federal government’s determination whether to follow the lead of the handful of states that have outlawed kratom and add the drug to the Bill Rauch FDA’s list of Schedule One drugs that would make its sale illegal under any circumstances. That coming fight will be a closely fought one because kratom is not derived from opium poppy pods, as are the other opiates. Kratom comes from the coffee family and is known to grow best in Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Thailand, all places that are known for growing gourmet coffee. Plus, its defenders say, with some addicts kratom in stronger doses is said to be more effective as a treatment for opioid addiction than the FDA-approved methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. That’s important, if it can be shown conclusively. But there’s been relatively little research done on the subject, and no more will be done if the government puts kratom on its Schedule One list. The outcome of that big Washington fight, while vitally important to the local company’s long term business prospects, is not Beaufort Kratom’s most pressing challenge. That challenge comes next week when the company’s representatives will appear in Beaufort County Magistrate’s Court for a Code Enforcement citation hearing. That’s because when the company first applied for its business license, according to Acting Beaufort County Administrator Josh Gruber, it represented that its business activity would be “drug counsellor.” But when the county’s business license inspectors paid the business a visit last week they found the business activities being pursued there allegedly included retail sales — sales of kratom in its powder, pill and liquid forms. Home businesses are expected to be low impact to surrounding neighborhoods. Employees parking at all hours of the day and night to prepare and deliver orders for shipping, and customers driving in-and-out to pick up pouches of their powder or pills can increase that impact beyond what is expected.
First and last at the upcoming Magistrate’s Court hearing, as in so many halls of government these days, the underlying issue will be traffic. Not drug trafficking. Vehicular traffic on a quiet Lady’s Island street. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
If you love something, can you ever really let it go? By Pamela Brownstein Three years ago, when my husband accepted a new job in Charleston, I was not jumping for joy. The idea of leaving Beaufort, which had been my home for more than 10 years, seemed impossible. How could I move from a place that I loved so much? This beautiful little Southern city where I bought my first house, fell in love, got married and had two kids holds such a special place in my heart, it felt like everything I cared about was being ripped into little pieces and thrown
into the wind. I didn't want to leave my friends, and I especially didn't want to leave my position as editor of The Island News because I loved my job and the people I met and what the paper meant to the community. But, I knew I had to start a new chapter in a new town with my little kids and I had to say good-bye to my dream job that let me work from home and write columns and design pages and pursue my passion for community journalism. I was introduced to so many
amazing stories about people who care so much about Beaufort, and it was hard to give up such a rewarding position. Fortunately, Mount Pleasant, where I currently reside, is still part of the Lowcountry and not far from Beaufort. We still come to visit and I still keep in touch with so many great friends from Beaufort, thanks to social media, and try to keep up on current events. The most recent editor of The Island News, Sally Mahan, is a good friend of mine. She is a talented editor and journalist who decided
to move closer to her family in the Midwest. I was sad to see her leave, on a personal and professional level. It is in her absense that I find myself returning to this role that I loved so much, even if only temporarily. With the new year, and new things ahead for the paper, I feel fortunate to be a part of the community again and to reconnect with the people and events that make Beaufort such a wonderful place to live. I look forward to hearing from you: contact theislandnews@gmailcom.
OPEN LETTER TO LOCAL DEVELOPER OF WHITEHALL POINT Dear Mr. Samuel Levin,
There are those who say that public hearings, such as those held by the Beaufort Metropolitan Planning Commission, are just for show, but the Whitehall Point experience shows that is not always the case. The purpose of this open letter is to provide feedback to you and your colleagues, based upon the Revised Development Plan for Whitehall Point, recently submitted with your signature, and to say thank you. During the course of previous Whitehall Point plan reviews, we (citizens and groups concerned about the development of Whitehall Point) asked that the monolithic apartment buildings not be placed on the property. You have responded by removing the B4
FEBRUARY 15 - 21, 2018
apartments, and distributing a smaller contingent of residents in cottage-type homes at Whitehall Point. It was requested that there be a dramatic reduction of concrete and asphalt on the 19 acres, that there be more open land. You have responded with several open areas, and you have specified pervious materials for parking, streets, and walkways throughout the community, which will dramatically improve drainage from the property, and will lessen the amount of polluted storm runoff that will enter Beaufort River and Factory Creek. And, you have specified a meandering pervious walkway, also previously suggested, along the Beaufort River boundary of the property.
We residents of Beaufort city and county recognize the genius of having assisted living and independent living facilities in such close proximity, as they are mutually-dependent to some extent, and much needed in our community. So thank you for all you have done to make Whitehall Point a more environmentally-friendly, walkable community, and also your plans to return a commercial restaurant to Whitehall, which has been sorely missed and much needed today on Lady’s Island. Finally, after studying data concerning the increasing trend in vehicle accidents involving injuries in zip code 29907 for the past several years, I can only request that any efforts on your part to further reduce the
number of residential vehicles accessing Sea Island Parkway going downtown daily from Whitehall Point will do much to alleviate grid lock at the bridge, as well as future accidents and the inevitable need for expedient evacuation of the Sea Islands when named storm incidents occur. Fereol de Gastyne, Beaufort The Metropolitan Planning Commission will meet to consider the latest application for development of the Whitehall property on Monday, Feb. 19, at 5:30 p.m. at Beaufort City Hall. A first proposal was denied 6-0 in November, and a new plan was filed by lead developer Sam Levin on Feb. 1. This meeting is open to the public.
