ceremony remembers 9/11 The city of Beaufort’s annual Sept. 11 ceremony, starting at 8:30 a.m. at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, will feature two speakers who responded to Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks, Mayor Pro Tem Donnie Beer said. David Simms, a battalion chief with the Fire Department of New York, was a lieutenant in Ladder Company 20, a mile from the World Trade Center complex on Sept. 11, 2001. The other speaker, Ted Druhot, was a Red Cross volunteer sent to New York two days after the attacks. Beaufort’s Exchange Club will present awards for firefighter and law-enforcement officer of the year at the ceremony, and the Carteret Street United Methodist Church choir will sing, Beer said.

Citizens advised to beware phone scam The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is reminding residents to beware of a phone scam that continues to circulate throughout the community. The Sheriff ’s Office has fielded numerous reports from citizens concerned over phone calls they have received from subject(s) identifying themselves as Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office deputies. In these calls, the subject reportedly attempts to solicit money from the victims, threatening legal action if the victims refuse 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 told they must pay a fine, or risk being arrested. The fine amounts vary, as do the names of the deputy the caller claims to be. The victim is usually instructed to purchase a Green Dot card from WalMart, loaded with the amount of the “fine.” The victim is then asked to either take a picture of the card and text or email it, or to call back and provide the number of the Green Dot card. 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 WILL 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.
enter the ‘it can wait’ writing contest The S.C. Press Association and participating S.C. newspapers are challenging Palmetto State high school students to write an essay, editorial or opinion column that highlights the dangers of texting while driving. The statewide winner will receive a $500 prize underwritten by AT&T. Texting while driving is an epidemic. More than 100,000 crashes a year involve drivers who are texting, often causing life-changing injuries and deaths. Texting drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident. Despite knowing the risks of texting while driving, 43% of teens admit to texting while driving. However, there is an opportunity to change this behavior. Ninety percent of teen drivers say they would stop if a friend in the car asked them and 78% said they are likely not to text and drive if friends tell them it is wrong. Write an essay, editorial or opinion column that answers the question, “Why is it important to take the it can wait pledge to never text and drive?” Your piece should highlight the dangers of texting while driving. The piece must include the following call to action, “Take the pledge to never text and drive at ItCanWait.com.” Entries should be between 300 and 500 words long and must be typed. Please email entries to theislandnews@gmail.com. The local contest period begins Monday, Sept. 8 and all entries must be sent to The Island News by Oct. 13. Local winners will be announced Oct. 23 and sent to SCPA to compete in the statewide contest. Statewide winner will be announced Nov. 7. The prize will include $500, and a luncheon for the student and his or her parents with the leadership of SCPA, AT&T and The Island News.

Dr. Harshman joins Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners David Harshman, MD, part of the team that helped Beaufort Memorial Hospital win state approval to perform life-saving emergency cardiac interventions, has joined Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners. An interventional cardiologist, board certified in cardiology, internal medicine and interventional cardiology, Harshman has been a member of Beaufort Memorial’s medical staff and has been performing diagnostic catheterizations in the hospital’s Cochrane Heart Center since 2010. He served as co-chairman of the hospital’s STEMI committee, charged with helping BMH apply for a Certificate

of Need from the state to treat patients suffering an ST elevation myocardial infarction or STEMI—the most dangerous type of heart attack. He is one Dr. David Harshman of three cardiologists now performing e m e r g e n c y interventions at the hospital. “We’re delighted to have Dr. Harshman on our Physician Partners team,” said BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey. “He has been a valued member of our medical staff and played a key role
in helping us attain approval to perform emergency interventions. The STEMI program has proven to be a tremendous benefit to the community by providing timely treatment to critical patients.” Harshman’s practice, renamed Beaufort Memorial Cardiology, will remain at its current location in suite 300 of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road. Prior to joining Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners on Sept. 1, Harshman was employed by Roper St. Francis Health Care System. A native of Illinois, Harshman was in private practice in Missouri and Illinois for over 30 years. He served as director of cardiac catheterization
Resistance is not futile
As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I used to buy into the evil Borg’s maxim of “Resistance is futile.” Not only did I buy into it, but it never occurred to me that there could be any other way of navigating life. Who hasn’t heard and abided by, “Walk it off. Suck it up. Don’t let them see you cry.” Or perhaps, “You don’t want to go there, it’s yucky. You wouldn’t like me if I’m angry, so I’m gonna bottle it up until I blow like a grenade.” Who knows what collateral damage I’ll create, but wouldn’t it be noble if I took one for the team? If this doesn’t sound familiar, or you don’t see which way the wind is blowing, my point is that from an early age we’re taught to avoid pain. When we become adults we tuck the yuck away behind humor, flashy spending — whether we have the money or not — over-exercising, over-eating, over-anything, under-anything, being a D-bag, being a doormat... While avoiding pain is good for a child with a hot stove, we as adults can do better. Women, in general, have an advantage
Chris Suddeth
over men in being mature enough to get upset over what’s bothering them, but men haven’t cornered the market in denial. I say to both sexes: Resistance is NOT futile, it’s the direction we need to run
toward. Maybe you don’t want to or can’t run toward whatever’s causing you pain spiritually, emotionally or physically, but to heal, you must. As we’ve already established, it’s human nature to avoid what’s icky and not so pretty. But if you’ll trust that this pain, whatever it may be, is your body’s way of telling you the direction you need to go, you’ll live a more stress-free existence. Your body is the only thing that never lies to you and if you’ll trust that, you’ll eventually move from just surviving to thriving. Sure, it’s easier to turn to Western medicine for a cure. (BTW, cure implies that things never change, and change

is the only constant we have on this Earth. I insist on using the word “heal” as opposed to “cure.”) While I always encourage my clients to consult with a doctor for what ails them, there’s more to the human condition than spitting out symptoms to a doctor as he zips off a script to Walgreen’s, gives you a slap on the back for good luck, and swooshes out the door to his 20 other patients before you know what’s hit you. Does the above run-on sentence ring that bell? Empower yourself by seeking out the holistic healthcare in Beaufort’s growing community.

yucky or simply what can be improved. Recall that our bodies never lie to us, but our egos do it all the time. You can’t cover up a knee issue that’s not letting you move forward, a throat problem that’s not letting you speak your truth, or a lower back ache from having you very foundation rocked. It is only when we become aware of the resistance that we can even do anything about it. A Reiki Master, Shaman, Theta Healer, B.E.S.T. Coach, among other CAM (complimentary alternative medicine) practitioners, is equipped to raise awareness and then send you down the road to self-empowerment and healing. So, resistance is not futile, it’s a gift. When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5 year old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting others’ healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing, as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes. You can contact him at 843-263-2397 or chrissuddethccr@ gmail.com.
musings from the therapist’s chair Help something grow by starting with yourself. We often think that the other person needs to change or grow, or somehow be different, when, in fact, if we change and grow, the people around us will change or leave if we grow ourselves into what we want to be.

donation celebration
ONE OF LARGEST DONATIONS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY GIVEN TO HOLY TRINITY CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL A little over six months after the Rev. Chad Lawrence announced to parishioners at the Parish Church of St. Helena’s that an anonymous benefactor had promised to match $750,000 in a six-month, all-ornothing challenge for Holy Trinity Classical Christian School, he once again stood before the parishioners on Sept. 7 to announce that the goal had not only been met, but exceeded. Lawrence announced that a total of $ 1,673,000 would be deposited to establish the “Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Scholarship Fund” at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School for families who could not otherwise meet the financial requirements of the school. In making the announcement last Sunday, Rev. Chad Lawrence, who also serves as the school’s headmaster, said, “It is truly amazing how the community has come together for the future of our children, our nation, and our faith. Checkbooks have been opened and piggy banks emptied to provide families in our community who otherwise might not be financially able the opportunity for their children to receive a life-changing classical Christian education.” Lawrence also announced that the anonymous benefactor was the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund that issued the “Raise Up A Child” challenge. Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan, the fund’s namesake, were missionaries who went to Africa in 1946 to dedicate their lives to the fulfillment of The Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19 (ESV). Over the next 40 years, they lived this command going to Nigeria, Senegal, the Ivory Coast and Swaziland to spread the Gospel. In 1993, to honor their service by providing financial assistance for projects that also furthered the Great Commission, the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund was created. It has purchased, translated and distributed Bibles to eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, hymnals for churches in Swaziland, translated the “Jesus” film for Southern African languages, funded a chemistry lab

for a Baptist High School in Nyeri, Kenya, provided church planting tents in Kenya, built a maternity clinic in Malawi, aided persecuted believers in Iran, and supported Young Life of Beaufort. “Saying thank you to the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund is hardly enough,” Lawrence said. “As the Runyans’ mission experiences often proved, ‘What God orders, He pays for.’ Again, He has done so with us, and more.” Alan Runyan, the son of Farrell and Elizabeth and trustee of the fund, said this is not really the end of the fund but a new beginning. “The Endowment Fund is taking its greatest and final step onto the most important mission field of the 21st century: training up young minds in the way they should go. For these young minds, trained in the way they should go, will be tomorrow’s missionaries to a lost world in whatever they do, wherever they go,” Runyan said. “It brings a wealth of emotions for me, it causes me to think about the lives of my mother and father and what they stood for, all the effort and the risks they took and it truly is a moment of both humility and challenge. Humility because of what has been done in such a short time and the challenge to the school to educate children with the kind of love for humanity that my mother and father would cherish.”
the island news | september 11-17, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com
According to Lawrence, the classical Christian education not only provides a quality education but also equips youth with a strong Biblical foundation so they become ambassadors for the Kingdom of God, fully prepared to defend and advance the apostolic Christian faith. Holy Trinity school provides a centuries-old, tried-and-true approach to education. “We endeavor to expose students to the good, the beautiful, and the true in all areas of human learning that we might cultivate well-rounded wise, virtuous, and eloquent leaders who are prepared to go wherever God calls them,” Lawrence stated. “A primary objective of classical, Christian education is to teach students how to learn,” Lawrence said. “Learning the truth is important, but learning how to seek the truth is even more critical.” Such classical education was used to educate most of America’s founding fathers, as well as the world’s philosophers, scientists and leaders between the 10th and 19th centuries. While there has been a resurgence in classical Christian education, Lawrence said that Holy Trinity’s growth has been quite dramatic since it opened in 2012. “We grew from 100 students the first year (PreK through fifth), to 150 students the second year
(when the school added sixth grade), to 190 students this year (when the school added a seventh grade) and we are at capacity,” he said. Lawrence said that many of the schools they visited started with only seven or eight students but that the Beaufort community has responded in such an incredible way to this educational approach that the initial growth that Holy Trinity has realized is almost unheard of in the classical, Christian educational community. He said that others who want to start a classical Christian school are now visiting the Holy Trinity campus for more insight. “However, the most encouraging part,” Lawrence said, “is how the students are responding.” He said that the 2013-2014 ITBS testing scored Holy Trinity’s kindergarten in the 99 percentile nationwide, and across all grades, the school scored in the 95 percentile. “It has indeed been a tremendous two years,” Lawrence said, “and with the generosity of the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund, the parishioners at St. Helena’s, Beaufort and its surrounding community, we eagerly look forward to the opportunity to serve the community of Beaufort as we help ‘Raise Up A Child’ for years to come.”

It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone.

BA suffers one-point loss to Faith Christian
F
irst-year Beaufort Academy football head coach Scott Richards witnessed his team miss out on multiple chances to get the win last Friday, Sept. 5. Playing in a rainstorm, visiting Faith Christian managed to narrowly edge the Eagles 4443 in an SCISAA 8-man game. With the close loss, Beaufort Academy dropped to 0-2. The team, however, showed some improvement following its seasonopening loss to W.W. King. A fourth-and-long pass by Beaufort Academy missed its mark late in the game to end an Eagles drive that could have proven to be the game-winning possession. Host Beaufort Academy also failed to convert on two-point conversions in the early-season matchup. The Eagles jumped out in front early, outscoring Faith Christian 15-0. Faith Christian battled back to outscore Beaufort Academy 24-14 in the second quarter but the Eagles still clung to a 2924 lead at halftime. Taking the lead after intermission, Faith Christian outscored BA 14-0 in the third quarter. The Eagles will visit Henry Academy on Friday, Sept. 12, with kickoff for the game set for 7:30 p.m.

Beaufort High’s only score came with 5:40 remaining in the third quarter when Andrew Jezewski returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown. Running back Jeffrey Tookes led Beaufort High, rushing 27 times for 150 yards.
Beaufort High managed to outrush Bluffton 159155 in the loss. Bluffton, however, picked up 100 yards though the air and committed three fewer penalties. Beaufort High hosts Whale Branch on Friday, Sept. 12, with kick off slated for 7:30 p.m..

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘frank’ The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Frank” on Monday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. Acclaimed Irish director Lenny Abrahamson follows up his award-winning films “Adam & Paul,” “Garage,” and “What Richard Did” with an offbeat comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), who finds himself out of his depth when he joins an avantgarde pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank
(Michael Fassbender), a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Written by Jon Ronson (“The Men Who Stare At Goats”) and Peter Straughan (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” “The Men Who Stare At Goats”), “Frank” is based on the memoir by Jon Ronson. It is a fictional story loosely inspired by Frank Sidebottom, the persona of cult
musician and comedy legend Chris Sievey, as well as other outsider musicians like Daniel Johnston and Captain Beefheart. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902. Contact the box office at 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.
‘sea island september’
As
sure as there will be palmetto fronds blowing in the wind and live oaks dangling Spanish moss, there will be artists who seek to capture the beauty of the Lowcountry’s scenery. However, the group of Sea Island artists who are exhibiting at ARTworks this month draw more of their inspiration from the people of the Lowcountry and their stories than the landscape. Each painting is a snapshot of everyday life: women heading to church in their Sunday best, men hauling in nets full of shrimp, or portraits of women pausing in their work to stare out of the canvas, with looks every bit as mysterious and compelling as the Mona Lisa. Yet other paintings are done without faces at all, as if to allow the viewer to insert themselves and their own friends and family into the scene. The artists’ whose pieces are included in the exhibit are: Sandra Renee Smith, Diane Britton Dunham, Susan Molada Madison, Mary Inabinett Mack, Sonja Griffin Evans, Hank Herring, Elayne Scott, Claudette Humphrey, James “SAINT” St. Clair, Al Davis, and Marie Lewis. With so many different creative voices included, it is particularly interesting to wander from piece to piece, paying attention to how each artist tells a story in their work. Some, like Hank Herring draw on African symbols to impart spiritualism, while others like Sonja Griffin Evans use the positioning of figures to denote social relationships. Still others, such as Diane Britton Dunham and Claudette Humphey clothe their subjects in vivid primary colors which seem to convey strength and vitality. Although the artists included in the show are based here in the Lowcountry and many are self-taught, they have achieved national and even international acclaim for both their artwork and as ambassadors of the Gullah culture. When asked to describe how Gullah culture influences her work, Mary I. Mack says, “When I think of the Gullah culture, I think of things like the food, music, art, sweetgrass baskets and (hand-woven casting) nets…” All of those things are represented in the works on display, and so much more. The show “Sea Island September” runs from September 12 - 28, with an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. The ARTworks gallery is located at 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort Town Center.

• Pavement & Sand Exhibit at BAA: Ordinary images of everyday life cause Beaufort Art Association’s featured artist Patricia Walsh to grab her brush, oils and canvas and start painting. Simple reflections on wet sand, backlit sunlight highlighting a person crossing the street, children playing at the beach, all fill Patricia with delight. Her desire to tell these imagined stories in visual form led her to Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in the early 1970s. Following completion of a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in painting, she remained involved in creative pursuits working as a designer and commercial artist until she began a career in law enforcement. In 2012, Patricia moved from New England to South Carolina and currently resides on St. Helena Island. The exhibit of Patricia Walsh’s art begins Monday, Sept. 15 and continues through October 25. There will be an opening reception at the BAA gallery on Bay Street Friday, Sept. 19.

Museum to host Bernie Schein book signing The stars will soon shine brightly at Beaufort’s historic Arsenal. That’s because the Beaufort History Museum (BHM) is planning a book signing reception in the Arsenal courtyard for celebrated local writer Bernie Schein, showcasing the launch of his new book. “Famous All Over Town.” Fellow author and great friend, Pat Conroy, and his wife, Cassandra King, and other friends and family will be on hand to welcome guests and toast the success of the new book. The party is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, from 6 to 8 p.m. Complimentary wine, beer and a selection of cheeses and fruit will be served. This is an invitation only event and space is limited. To request an invitation, call 843-277-1443 or email beaufortschistorymuseum@gmail.com.
Author Bernie Schein with his new book, “Famous All Over Town.”
“We are delighted to join with Bernie’s friends to host the book signing,” said BHM board member and past president Katherine Lang. “It is really a hometown party and the first event we have held at the Arsenal since the museum moved back a few months ago. Bernie’s new book is about growing up in Beaufort and just seems tailor-made for us.
We will have copies of the book, signed by Bernie, available for sale.” “Famous All Over Town” is receiving g l o w i n g re v ie ws . Here is what Conroy wrote: “Like its author, this ambitious novel is by turns hysterically funny, wildly neurotic, uniquely sensitive, and heartbreakingly honest. Bernie has staked his claim on the literary landscape of the South with his unforgettable small town of equally unforgettable Jews, whites, blacks, marines, politicians, prostitutes, cops,
killers, sell-outs, aristocrats, journalists, and rebels. He shies away from neither the best nor worse in us and, with compassion and authority, tells a story that is at once his own and that of everyone you will ever meet, each made famous all over town.” The Beaufort History Museum, which was founded in 1939 and has recently moved back to the Arsenal, has evolved to focus specifically on the rich history of the Beaufort District. It strives to manage and display artifacts and documents held by the city of Beaufort, telling the compelling stories of this area from the early 16th century until modern times. The Arsenal is located 713 Craven Street. The Beaufort History Museum maintains a website at www.beauforthistorymuseum.com.

gardens & voices
By Susan Stone
Love your garden!
This month I am writing to you from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. I am enjoying a much-needed rest at the end of the mountain summer. Although it’s warm now, the leaves and acorns are already beginning to show signs of autumn. The vegetable garden outside the kitchen window has been harvested, composted and covered with fresh straw in preparation for winter. We are so fortunate in the Lowcountry to be gardening year round! As we select our seeds and prepare for winter crops, I would like to recommend an old book I just took out of the archives recently. It’s called “Behaving As If The God In All Life Mattered,” by Machaelle Small Wright. It is the journey of a novice gardener and her humorous adventures in trial and error. Although you may not consider yourself a novice, there is always more to learn about how we can more effectively work with nature. I have personally adopted many of her suggestions to great effect. Her stories about garden invaders are most entertaining and her solutions really work! Sometimes we view our gardens as another place of work. The garden depends

on us to stay on top of invasive weeds and during times of drought, absolutely depends on us for water. But what we receive back from our gardens, above and beyond the harvest, can keep up us out of the doctor’s office and off the psychiatrist’s couch — literally! With all the hustle and bustle of our very busy lives, the garden affords us a break from “reality.” It allows us to connect with the Earth and be fed energetically by her. Through the soles of our feet (I like to garden barefoot), we can recharge and ground the energy that makes us reach for an aspirin or a sleeping pill. It soothes the spirit and keeps us from strangling those who get on our last nerve. This season, try a little experiment. Set aside a portion of the garden to “ignore.”
Water and fertilize as you normally would. Treat this portion of the garden just as you always have. But in the other section of garden, try something new. Say a prayer over your seeds, thanking them for the nutritious food they will become. Or to the winter flowers, ask that they be blessed with abundant beauty. And each day after, when you do your garden chores, sing a song or talk to the plants participating in your experiment and thank them every time you visit the garden. And too, remember to ignore all the plants in the other section. The results will astound you. When you love your garden, it responds. You may feel silly at first, but if you are anywhere close to my age (55) you won’t care who is watching. One of the
recipe of the month The no-see-um’s love fall as much as the rest of us. As soon as the temperatures get below 80 degrees, they come out hungry. So my recipe for the month is for the best (more effective than deet) bug spray you can make. You’ll smell like Christmas! • 1 oz. Cinnamon Leaf Oil, about $5 online • 8-10 oz. Witch Hazel, about $1.50 That’s it! Put it in a spray bottle and shake! Adjust the recipe for strength. Test for sensitivity to the cinnamon, don’t use it straight. Too much of a good thing is still too much!
great benefits of being over 50 is the freedom to be your authentic self. At some point we become unconcerned with the opinions of others and just do what feels right. If you decide to try this experiment, I would love to hear about your results. I promise to keep you anonymous, so the neighbors won’t talk. You may send Susan your questions and garden wisdom to theriverangel.ss@gmail. com.
Summer, don’t leave! By Lee Scott
I was driving along Sea Island Parkway yesterday and there was a line of cars in front of me all driving about 50 miles an hour, when suddenly they all started to brake and eventually came to a full stop. What is going on? An accident, an alligator crossing the road? No, it was a large yellow metal monster with a folding stop sign and flashing lights. ”No,” my brain screamed, “Not a school bus! It can’t be. Summer just started.” But there it was emptying out little school children from its large cavity. Children with backpacks and lunchboxes. Where did summer go? What happened to all the RVs driving down Sea Island Parkway, dragging little smart cars on their way to beach destinations? Where are the trucks with

the beach? How does this happen? Every year the summer just flies by and I am once again surprised that it is over. The reason is because I love summer so much. I love the big floppy summer hats, the beach chairs and the beach umbrellas. I love the smell of sun tan lotion and that aloe cream you put on after a sunburn. I love hearing children laugh at the beach
when the waves smack into them. I love holding a child’s hand as we look for shells on a deserted beach. For many of us, part of summertime magic is the memories from years past. Time spent with parents without being told to do homework or go to bed early. Time spent catching fireflies in peanut butter jars with holes punched in the lid. Time when you were allowed to get dirty playing in mud puddles after a summer rain. As we enter the new school year, the hustle and bustle begins. But the magic of summer is still with me. Memories of time spent with my parents and children, and now my grandchildren. Yes, the yellow monster is back on the road but, take heart, only nine more months until summer.

Someone Call me a Cab! By Celia Strong
This week we are going to travel a long way to learn about vineyards that are known for their Cabernets. No, we are not going to Napa Valley — believe it or not, there are other sources in the world for great Cabernet wines. Instead, we are visiting South America and the vineyards of Chile. Wine production in Chile dates back to the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors brought “vitis vinifera” vines into the country. In the mid-19th century, grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, were introduced. Skipping forward to the 1980’s, though, we get to more modern winemaking. Stainless steel fermentation tanks came to Chile and oak barrels for aging their wines also. Between 1995 and 2005, the number of wineries in Chile went from 12 to over 70. Currently, Chile is the ninth largest wine-producing country in the world, and the fifth largest exporter. In December 1994, their wine regions became official. Today, we are going to learn about one of these: The Colchagua Valley. Colchagua is like a Grand Cru appellation for Cabernets. (Other Chilean wine laws were established at the same time as their regions. There are no restrictions on grapes. Any variety can be grown anywhere. A wine has to be at least 75 percent the named variety, though, if it’s going to be drunk in Chile. Exported wines have to be at least 85 percent. If a particular wine region is named on the label, 85 percent of the grapes have to come from that region. The term “reserve” does not have any legal meaning, but it can be important to the wines of one winery.) Like European appellation systems, in Chile, wine areas are defined in larger to smaller areas, with the smaller ones producing specific style wines, all supposedly better. Colchagua is a zone located within the Rapel Valley subregion, which is located within the main Central Valley region. The Colchagua Valley is about 92 miles south of Santiago and follows the Tinquiririca River along the foothills of the Andes Mountains westward to the Pacific Ocean. The river provides a steady source of irrigation water in an otherwise
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
The Primus Cabernet Sauvignon is 95 percent Cab, with 5 percent Syrah. It is made by Primus, a branch of the Chilean Veramonte Winery in Marchigue, a sub-region of the Colchagua Valley. This wine is elegant with plum and cassis flavors, rich red berries, some chocolate, some baking spices, some coffee — layers of flavors. dry area. The Colchagua Valley is about 70 miles wide, at its widest point, and about 2,200 square miles overall. The climate is a warm Mediterranean one. The soils are clay and sand and decomposed granite. Quality grapes are grown on the hillsides, where warm days are tempered by cool night breezes. We have seen many times before how these up and down temperatures make for more and better flavors in the grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah are the main varieties grown here — reds! Many experts think this valley is comparable to Napa Valley. And we all know about Napa Cabs, don’t we? Cabernet Sauvignon is a fairly new grape, at least compared to how old some other “vinifera” varieties are. It was “made” by a chance crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, in southwestern France, in the 17th century. Cabernet grapes can grow more easily in more soil

types; they have thicker skins than most other varieties, so they bud and ripen later, about two or three weeks behind Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Growing climates are important. As an example, in cooler climates, its vines will put more energy into making foliage. And, vineyard management in cooler regions makes pruning important. When making Cabernet wines, all sorts of options are available. Blending is the first. This is one grape that plays well with others. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and some Malbec, Petit Verdot or Carmenere come together to make what is a typical Bordeaux blend. Beyond that, Syrah/Shiraz, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and other grapes also go well with Cabernet. Blending before, during or after fermentation are choices for winemakers. Maceration time (juice sitting with its skins) makes a difference. Longer sitting time makes wines with more tannins and flavors, but the wines must age longer to develop properly. Temperature of the fermentation, too, makes a difference. Warmer fermentations, like 86 degrees Fahrenheit, make more complex flavors and deeper colored wines. Cooler fermentation enhances fruit flavors. And, then there’s the oak. Cabernet has a great affinity for oak. The vanilla and spice flavors of the wood work well with
the black currant and tobacco flavors of the wines. But, we need to see about Cabernet in Colchgua. The late-ripening Cab does well in the warm vineyards and dry climate in this valley. The grapes ripen more fully, and they make wines with rich fruit flavors. A perceived sweetness is noticeable in Colchagua wines because the grapes get so ripe. The acidity levels of the wines are lower and the tannins are softer, making the wines more approachable sooner. All of which gets us to our winery — Primus, a branch of the Chilean Veramonte Winery. The Primus vineyards are located in Marchigue, a Colchagua sub-region. They are 28 miles due east of the Pacific Ocean with a warm climate that is moderated by two mountain ranges that run north to south. The clay and loam soil is well drained and has rocky materials that make for great Cabernet growing conditions. Primus has 190 acres of vineyards. Using the latest viticultural technology from California, their rootstocks are matched to each site and grape clone. In winemaking, Primus is very detail oriented, like all great wines. Yields are kept low, two to three tons per acre. This ensures concentration and intensity in the grapes’ flavors and textures. All their grapes are hand harvested and double sorted before crushing. Only the most pristine grapes end up being used for their wines. The wines are aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, about one quarter of them new each year. The Primus Cabernet is 95 percent Cab, with 5 percent Syrah. This wine is elegant. It has plum and cassis (black currant) flavors, with rich red berries, some chocolate, some baking spices, some coffee; layers of flavors. With smooth, mild tannins, it is ready to drink. (Primus also makes a blend, called The Blend, that is Cabernet with Carmenere, Syrah and Merlot.) And, lucky us, we can have the Primus Cabernet Sauvignon in two sizes. The 750 milliliter bottle, for $18.99 and the liter and a half bottle, for $34.99. With all the dinners and parties ahead, it’s time to call a cab. Oops, I mean a Cabernet. Enjoy.

VINTAGE VOYAGES
By Pamela Brownstein
The instructions to be at the Beaufort downtown marina at 6:30 a.m. sharp seemed daunting. But it was totally worth it to see the sun rise over the river and spend a relaxing morning on a boat meandering through local waterways. The Lunch Bunch — or maybe The Breakfast Bunch in this case — met up with Captain Tim Deckard and his wife Mare, owners of Vintage Voyages, who welcomed them aboard The Annalee. This beautifully restored, 1930 classic wooden yacht has a state-of-the-art, custom designed hybrid engine, with whisper quiet electric drive, that is non-polluting and friendly to the environment. Mare made delicious homemade muffins and a special coffee cake that was her grandmother’s recipe.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Are you prepared? By Tracie Korol
None of us, realistically, believe our dogs are going to outlive us. We’d like them to age gracefully alongside us and diminish shortly before or shortly after we do. But sometimes it doesn’t work that way, unfortunately. Tragedy will arrive in all our lives, some time or other, that’s for certain. The best we can do is try to prepare and remember our Best Friend when we do. The Humane Society of the US estimates there are 112 million pet dogs and cats, as well as millions of birds in this country. Some of these pets will outlive their owners and perhaps these pet owners have made informal plans with friends, neighbors or family members. But sometimes those who informally agree to take on the dog, just in case, are unable or unwilling to follow through when the time comes. In order to avoid such circumstances, pet owners need to leave instructions for the care of pets and a short list of guardians of various ages who have been contacted in advance. If possible, people should also leave some funds to cover expenses, especially if the pet in question has health concerns. This might seem reminiscent of aging eccentric heiresses who leave millions to their cats to supply filet mignon in perpetuity. Not quite. But it pays to be prepared. You might designate a trusted friend, family member, neighbor, or kennel owner who knows your dog, has proper facilities

(meaning space to keep an animal, a fenced yard, or an actual kennel) and who is willing to keep your dogs together (if you have more than one), should an emergency arise. I am listed as default caregiver in five wills in two states: it is a tremendous honor to be asked to care for a beloved pet. This person should have a list of emergency phone numbers, including those of your vet and of nearby family and friends who have access to your home and are well acquainted with your dogs. Carry a wallet “alert card” that lists the names and phone numbers of your emergency pet caregivers. Tuck one in the glove box, too. In your personal business records, include signed and dated instructions designating your wishes for the placement of your dogs in case of your incapacitation, or worse. List the name of each dog and the name, address and phone number of the person who has agreed in writing to adopt or foster that dog for the remainder of its life. Check in with your designated caregiver every year to see if the offer is still good. Update this document at least

once and year, and provide a copy to your designated caregiver. Provide the caregiver with written authorization to obtain medical treatment for your dogs, should it become necessary. On occasion you’ll run into a vet who has esoteric HIPAA-like rules concerning the animals of other people. Also provide copies of medical history, a list of any health problems that require regular attention, and written feeding instructions (“Barney doesn’t like peas.”). In addition, provide your veterinarian with written authorization to administer treatment in an emergency, and place copies of that document in your Pet File. Include names and numbers of all persons you have authorized to seek treatment for your dogs. Both the vet and caregiver should have written instructions as to how to
proceed should the untimely happen to the dog — autopsy, cremation, burial. With the copy and paste feature of most word processing programs, it takes only a few minutes to draft a simple, cover-all document. Some pet owners make provisions for honorary trusts for their animals that dictate a portion of the principal or income be dedicated to the benefit of the animal. The trust ends when there are no living animals receiving care. The amount of money left for a pet’s care should be reasonable rather than large, so other beneficiaries will not challenge the provision. In an emotionally charged situation (your incapacitation or demise) a relative’s’ solution may be to dump the dog at a shelter. Know that most no-kill shelters have waiting lists. It can take up to three months for a place to open through adoption. If you happen to have one of the “dangerous” breeds — pit bulls, German shepherds, rottweilers — planning for his future takes special consideration. Let me stress the importance of planning if you have a dog with a “special need.” Plan ahead and put your plan in writing. Semper Paratus — always prepared.
