County Council elects new leaders On Wednesday, January 2, a new chairman took control of the gavel at the first Beaufort County Council meeting of 2013. Paul Sommerville was elected as County Council’s chairman and Stewart Rodman was elected as the vicechairman.

“2013 will be a challenging year but we can accomplish a lot. I’m looking forward to working with all of the council members as well as administration and listening to the public on making sure we get through it together,” said Chairman Sommerville shortly after receiving a unanimous vote from his colleagues.

“This is my seventh year on County Council and I’m just honored and privileged that my fellow council members would nominate and elect me to vice-chairman” said Rodman.

Newly elected Councilwoman Cynthia Bensch was sworn into office

by Judge Marvin H. Dukes III just before the election. She was elected in November to fill the District 7 seat covering Bluffton. Also taking the oath of office were Councilman Gerald Dawson, Brian Flewelling and William McBride. All three were re-elected to council in November.

The parents will be participating in the Grand Winter Ball on January 27. The Junior Cotillion classes are interspersed with manners, protocol, ethics and social dancing. This copyrighted program teaches more than 100 different socials skills over a three-year curriculum. Each class builds on the last and as Beaufort Junior Cotillion Director Mary Kennerty says, “There are no quick fixes to polishing up our students.” For instance, the January 6 class alone covered more than 30 social skills including greetings and introductions, proper seating, refreshment etiquette, escorting, writing thank you notes, proper use of silver, and even table manners.

The public is invited to the 1855 Oaks Plantation to enjoy local bounty.

The annual oyster roast exemplifies the best in outdoor

Lowcountry experiences — great food and beverages around open fires, the music of the Bull Grapes all against the backdrop of the marshes and creek. The site at 66 Godley Road on St.

Helena Island was the first home to Union organizers of the Port Royal Experiment which brought education and training to Beaufort County’s freed slaves which would later become the Penn School.

Reeves Outdoor Catering will serve oysters, pulled pork, barbecue chicken, red rice, salad, dessert in two separate servings at 4:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.

United Way campaign continues in 2013 As the United Way of the Lowcountry fundraising campaign moves into a new year at 77 percent of the $2.8 million goal, United Way agencies continue to serve.

“We provide respite services to enable the primary caregivers of individuals who live at home the opportunity to take time for themselves,” said Deborah Walsh of Jasper County Disabilities and Special Needs.

“Funding for this service has significantly decreased. The individuals living in our five group homes, all located within Ridgeland, are provided with 24hour per day care and supervision. Those who attend day programs are provided with training to learn and/or maintain skills to eventually achieve possible job placements,” she said.

Through United Way of the Lowcountry, a $1,000 gift provides a year of nursing oversight by the Jasper County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs for one resident, ensuring their health, safety and well-being, and drastically reducing the amount of community resources expended.

In Beaufort and Jasper counties there are homeless families, abused children, low literacy rates, high obesity rates and a whole host of other problems.

“We need everyone’s help to close out our campaign and meet our goal,” said Peter Post, chairman of the local United Way board. “The $2.8 million is a hard dollar amount that equals what agencies and United Way have identified as our needs to support the residents of Beaufort and Jasper counties.”

The United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors announced gifts and pledges have been received totaling $2,244,724 or 76.6 percent of the organization’s 2012 goal of $2.8 million.

Added to United Way of the Lowcountry’s traditional work to provide basic needs such as protection and temporary housing for abused children: Starting in October, volunteer reading tutors have been working in eight Lowcountry schools.

The goal: Ensure that students are reading at grade level when they enter fourth grade. That ties to the longterm goal to reduce dropouts by 50 percent within 10 years in all Beaufort County and Jasper high schools.

Bonnie Bennett, Jasper County campaign chair, said United Way is key to improving the lives of Lowcountry residents, one family at a time.

“The campaign goal of $2.8 million is a big number, but it makes a difference in peoples’ lives in amounts like a few hundred dollars, or an overnight stay in a shelter for abused children, or stepping in with hospice care,” she said.

Please give and help United Way of the Lowcountry meet the needs of the community, and meet the $2.8 million goal.

Tips for moving to Windows 8

By Jerod Collins

The holidays have come and gone.

Now everyone is playing with all of the gadgets and gizmos that we were blessed enough to receive. If you received a new computer, however, you may be having a bit of trouble getting used to your new machine running Windows 8. Well, I have a couple of tips that will hopefully help with this transition.

The first thing that you will notice when you start up your computer is the speed at which it loads and moves.

That is one of the fantastic things about the new operating system. But when it loads, you will see a bunch of blocks on your screen that looks a lot like a windows phone. This is the new start menu screen. This is where all of your installed apps and other programs will be. This may be a bit jarring and you are probably wondering where your desktop is ... well, this is where the tips come in handy.

The “Windows Key + D” shortcut is your best friend. This is the easiest way of getting back and forth from the start menu to the desktop. While you are on the start screen with all of the apps on it, Hold the Windows Key and press D and it will take you straight to the desktop that you know and love.

Making the app boxes bigger and smaller. If you are on the start menu and you are tired of scrolling all the way over to get to your program that you need, Hold Down (Ctrl) and Scroll up or down with your mouse scroll wheel. This will zoom the icons in and out.

Where is the Shut Down Button?

I’m sorry if this is common knowledge

to some, but this is actually a common question that I am asked all the time.

In order to shut down your computer, Move your mouse down to the bottom right hand corner of the screen, this will bring up, what I call, The Sidebar.

Click on settings and you will see a power button.

Personalizing your new computer.

While you are in the settings menu in the Sidebar, you will see a lot of different options, including one for personalization. In this menu, you can change the color scheme of the computer that you really enjoy or change your background to one of the pictures you have saved.

Overall, Windows 8 has changed a lot of what we are used to in our computer. Things are moved, rearranged and even missing that we have been accustomed to since windows XP. Regardless, with a little time and a bit of help from your friendly neighborhood computer guy, you will be up to speed in no time.

If you have any questions on how to set up your new computer or if you need help working it, please give me a call. I would be happy to assist you in any way possible. I hope you all have had a Happy Holiday and I wish everyone the best of luck in the New Year! Thanks for reading!

• Family storytelling with Judy Sima Storytelling is a deeply fun tradition, and the only art form that should claim “anyone can do it.” The tools are built in: your imagination and your voice. Body language is also a good idea, wave those hands and make those faces!

Between now and the BIG Story Fest & Liars Competition in April, ARTworks is bringing plenty of storytelling — out loud, musical, visual, folksy, contemporary — to the listeners of Beaufort. On Friday, January 18, storyteller Judy Sima will perform at ARTworks. Judy is a frequent presenter at the National Storytelling Conference, the American Association of School Librarians, and her career includes many accolades, publications, and belly laughs. While in Beaufort, she will also lead workshops in storytelling for kids.

“Storytelling enhances vocabulary, and helps children write by getting them to use their imagination,” Sima explained. “It sets the story in their mind, use the five senses before working on paper. It helps them find details and edit. When children start with storytelling, they can put their in their own words and improve their education.”

Her public performance is in ARTworks’ theater, which is surrounded by gallery exhibitions, workshops, and artists working in their studios.

“I love to do family performances, get parents and kids involved. The kids get to act out the story with me, with nose masks, so bring a camera to get lots of good pictures,” Judy advised.

“There’s a lot of audience participation. I tell stories that are based on folktales and picture books. It’s important for kids and families to use their imagination together, and to talk about the stories. In storytelling, you can interact with live performers, unlike in a movie or TV show, and talk about that after the performance. It brings families together and they have a good time.”

Tickets are $17 per person, $12 for students, $7 for children (12 and under) and $12 for groups of 10 or more, at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street 29902. www.artworksinbeaufort.org, 379-2787.

New state-of-the-art Pratt Emergency Center opens Beaufort Memorial Hospital opened its new $14.5-million Pratt Emergency Center Wednesday, ready to treat everything from cuts and contusions to broken bones and back aches.

Double the size of the former ER, the 20,500-square-foot facility offers patients more privacy in comfortable treatments rooms with features carefully chosen to improve safety and care.

More than three years in the making, the expansion and renovation was funded in part by donations from the community and the employees of the hospital. A $1.5-million gift made by Beaufort philanthropist Dr. Bruce Pratt in honor of his parents provided the start-up money for the ambitious project.

Last year, the hospital renamed the ER the Dr. George N. Pratt and Sarah Meyer Pratt Emergency Center.

As many as 120,000 people — 40,000 of them patients — end up in Beaufort Memorial’s ER each year.

“We want to make the experience pleasant and efficient,” said Beaufort Memorial Hospital President and CEO Rick Toomey.

From the parking lot, visitors enter the building on a pathway constructed to look like a boardwalk.

Recognizing the stress and fear experienced by patients and their families during a medical emergency, the 45-seat reception area was designed with the healing arts in mind.

Consultants chose the paint colors, décor and furnishings to create a restorative and

Beaufort Memorial registered nurses Kimberly Merritt (left) and Karen Lazzo take part in cardiac monitoring training in preparation for the opening of the new Pratt Emergency Center. The new monitoring system is available in all 26 patient treatment rooms, and includes bedside 12-lead EKG capabilities for patients experiencing chest pain.

relaxing environment. Visitors also have the option of waiting outside in a “Lowcountry” patio with a covered seating area.

But it’s the treatment rooms that are the big standout. All 26 rooms in the new ER are private. The former quarters featured only seven private rooms. Each room has large doors that can be retracted to provide wide access to move patients in and out comfortably. Dimming LED lighting was used to create a soothing environment, especially important to patients with migraines and head injuries.

Even the linen closets were designed to minimize disturbances to the patients.

Outside access was provided so staff can load them without having to enter the rooms.

The size of the workstations for nurses and physicians also was increased to accommodate up to 14 clinicians. These work areas are now centrally located with open views of all patient rooms for visual monitoring and quick access.

The new emergency center also features two triage rooms, two trauma rooms, a nine-seat waiting area for patients awaiting discharge and another five individual waiting areas for patients requiring extra monitoring, infusions or additional space and privacy.

The much-needed expansion has boosted

the ER’s capacity from 24 to 45 patients at a time, helping meet the growing demand for emergency medical services in the region.

“Not only do we have a beautiful new space for them to come to, “ said Emergency Department Assistant Director Ashley Hildreth, RN, “but more importantly, we’ve worked on the process that we use to get patients from the front door to a physician and back out efficiently with prescriptions, medications, and treatment that they need in a faster time frame.”

Other new features include two enclosed decontamination areas for patients exposed to toxins, three outdoor decontamination showers for non-toxic exposures and two isolation rooms for patients with communicable diseases like tuberculosis, chicken pox or measles.

In the future, automated check-in kiosks will be installed that will allow patients to register by simply swiping their driver license or ID. Major upgrades also were made to the hospital’s infrastructure, including increasing the capacity of the cooling system, vital to the operation of the sophisticated medical equipment and technology being used in today’s ER. Three new 800-kilowat generators with 96 hours of fuel ensure the hospital can continue to operate in the event of a power outage.

Makeup must-haves

By Takiya Smith

Last week I was invited to a customer appreciation party by a fellow beauty industry associate. During the event, all the ladies were asked to team up in groups of four and five to play a game.

The game consisted of a list of items that were randomly called and each team obtained points according to the number of matching items in their purse. I had entered the party sans a purse but I was quickly redeemed by two of the world’s best makeup “musthaves” teammates.

Out of roughly 30 women, 20 items, six teams and a whole lot of handbags, I sat amazed as I watched my teammates, Sharon and Angie, single-handedly tag team the list of must-haves. Toothpicks, hair brushes, headbands, breath mints, dental floss, quarters dated before 1970, and even tazer stun guns were among

the items required that seemed to be an apparent everyday handbag necessity of today’s modern woman.

When the game ended, our team took first place, topping the charts with more than half of the required items being on hand between my teammates’ purses. All in fun, but I left that party wondering if I was the only girl in town who had not yet acquired a cute, hot pink stun gun in my bag of makeup must-haves.

Maybe I trot the road less traveled because it isn’t as noisy

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

In the confines and comfort of a small town it is near impossible to avoid the fast as a fire, accurate as an approximation and bigger-as-it-goes contagiously spread news of anything out of the ordinary. I just so happen to specialize in all things unordinary, making many of my ventures, projects and often times my shoes the topic of bar banter or whispers of “What is she thinking?”

Flowing as freely as Nyquil during flu season, I am bombarded by the details of which even I am unaware.

Basically, it is fabulous. The sensational speculation is quite good for business. Certainly flattering and an abundance of applause should be given for the creative conjuring of future plans. It’s possibly best that I refrain from sharing the somewhat-less-glamorous truth and the overwhelmingly less exciting day to day grind that is involved in opening a new business.

When the fluff is removed, the shine toned down a bit, all that remains is that I am working my overly exhausted rumpus off on something that all can easily admit is a risk. Any new business is a risk. Unless a poor, unaware soul has been living comfortably underneath a well-worn rock, it is common knowledge that the economy isn’t a welcome wagon for women with an idea. It certainly

SugarBelle is for the women who aren’t afraid to take charge, take chances and who refuse to take orders. A place where women can laugh sincerely, share honestly and find shoes that won’t send them straight to surgery. doesn’t encourage taking risks or building wealth.

Cherimie Crane But I digress. Maybe I enjoy Weatherford slamming full speed into a brick wall. It could be that I trot the road less travelled because it isn’t as noisy and/or crowded.

Some people self-medicate, some prepare for the end of the world via dehydrated ice cream, and I take business risks. It takes all kinds, y’all.

Anyone who has spent more than 15 seconds with me knows I wouldn’t do well punching a time clock. It isn’t part of my charm to take orders — and fluorescent lighting isn’t in my color wheel. I could never be an office girl. Opening a new business seems like the logical solution to a slightly optimistic, devilbe-damned Southern woman.

SugarBelle is the name, success is the goal and if a little fun occurs between the hard work and mayhem that is taking chances, I can handle it. Should failure knock at my door, I will avoid it like an unwelcomed

neighbor. However, if it finds its way inside, I will at least know that I took an idea, a vision and a goal as far as it can be taken instead of just talking about it over cocktails and casseroles. Life is an action verb for me, stagnancy or complacency never looked good with my boots. By some stroke of divine intervention, I succeeded in real estate in a time when success and real estate are at total opposite ends of the spectrum. I do know what hard work is and know just as well the importance of determination.

There are women similar to me in my view of the world, of life in general and of not wanting to wear the same darn thing as everyone else. SugarBelle is for the women who aren’t afraid to take charge, take chances and refuse to take orders. A place where women can laugh sincerely, share honestly and find shoes that won’t send them straight to surgery. Yes, I am opening a new business and I am just crazy enough to believe it is a good idea.

See y’all at SugarBelle.

The Baby Diaries: Celebrating the first year of life

By Pamela Brownstein

This time last year, my husband and I were counting contractions and eagerly anticipating the arrival of our first baby. Then out came Sanford Wolfe Brownstein, and our lives have never been the same. To say that he brings joy to everyday would be an understatement.

He fills our days with love and laughter; he is such a sweet, adorable baby who is turning into a little boy right before our eyes. It’s been an incredible year of growing — not just for him, but for us too as we stumble through and slowly figure out our roles as parents and caring for a tiny human.

During the holidays, we traveled to cold, snowy Ohio to visit my husband’s family. One night after Wolfe had gone to bed and the adults sat talking around the fire, my mother-in-law asked what grade we would give the past year.

The question made me pause, and as I pondered my response, I replayed memorable scenes in my head: I saw the way Wolfe’s face lights up when you get him out of his crib in the morning.

Or the way he likes to burrow under blankets and play hide-and-seek. And I heard his cute little voice (he’s very chatty) over the baby monitor chanting “Dadadadada” or “Mamamama.” I saw

Pam’s P.O.V.

the beautiful beaches of Rio during our trip to Brazil, and I saw the way Daniel tenderly tucks Wolfe into bed every night and kisses him on the forehead.

I was able to overlook the constant fatigue or the stress of trying to work while feeding a baby at the same time or the late nights when Daniel had graduate classes after his own 9 to 5 job.

These tough times paled in comparison

to the good, so I gave 2012 the grade of solid A. Overall, it has been an amazing journey, one I wouldn’t trade for anything because I think it has made me appreciate so many things I didn’t know before.

In fact, we enjoyed our venture into parenthood so much, we decided to see what happens the second time around.

That’s right. Baby Brownstein 2.0 is expected to arrive in August. So here’s to another year of the excitement and exhaustion that accompanies bringing a new life into the world.

And Wolfe gets the best gift of all: The chance to be a big brother.

letter to the editor

Thank you and best wishes from former school board chairman As we close out the year and usher in a new one, I would like to thank everyone who supported my November unsuccessful bid for re-election to the Beaufort County Board of Education. Whether you assisted with the petition process to get on the ballot; provided financial assistance, campaign sign distribution/collection, advice, words of encouragement or vote, I sincerely appreciate it. A special thank you to my wife, Barbara, and family for being so tolerant and understanding during my years of public service.

I also want to express my appreciation to those of you throughout Beaufort

County who have become more aware of and involved in our public schools.

Those improvements made in our schools recently are due in part to your engagement. I encourage you to remain involved/aware AND get others to join you. Ask about and become a part of the mandated School Improvement Council (SIC) in your area school(s). Businesses, retirees, military, non-parents as well as parents of our students need to be a part of SICs. For the past six years, you have given me the opportunity to serve as a public education policymaker for all of our

children. While not always successful in achieving my expectations for the board or myself, I hope that I have helped promote and demonstrate the proposition that there is strength in the diversity within our county AND that working together for the common good results in better outcomes for our students and our community as a whole. Let me thank those competent teachers, building leaders and staff throughout the district who make positive contributions to our success daily.

My congratulations and support is extended to the recently elected board — seven new individuals and four returning.

While elected as individuals, please never lose sight of the fact that you are a member of a team. Don’t fall into the trap of parochialism. Each of you possesses assets that could assist in the academic and personal improvement of all our students, but you must establish a common path to apply your talents. In closing, I challenge you, as elected public education leaders, to demonstrate to our students, the school administration and community in general how to maximize problem solving and minimize problem creation.

Thankfully and appreciatively, Fred S. Washington, Jr.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

for school board chairman bill evans,

children come first

By Lanier Laney

After a 24-year-long career with Beaufort County schools, Bill Evans, current chairman of the Beaufort County Board of Education, probably knows more about our county schools, its teachers and students than anyone.

Bill says with confidence, “We have both great students and teachers and there is nowhere we cannot go in being a dynamic district providing students with a tremendous education.”

Bill came to his chosen field early. During a summer stint working as a substitute teacher while in college, he found he really enjoyed teaching and has subsequently found it to be an extremely rewarding career. He said, “Students are always interesting, their energy is so contagious and the work that so many of our teachers are doing is really inspiring.”

In Beaufort County he also credits the parents adding, “The support that our schools get from parents and the community is really outstanding.”

After college, Bill, who grew up outside of Philadelphia, attained two master degrees — one from Penn State in Education and another from the University of Southern California in Education Administration.

He began his career as an elementary teacher in California, then moved on to middle school, where he became an assistant principal then later a high school principal. After 10 years in California, he decided to take the position of principal at Hilton Head High School to be closer to his East Coast family.

Bill even met his wife Melissa at a parent/ teacher meeting at Beaufort High. Says Bill, “I met my wife Melissa actually through her daughter who was a student at Beaufort High School when I was principal. We had both lost our first spouses to cancer at

Bill Evans is a lifelong educator who was recently chosen as chairman of the Beaufort County Board of Education.

“(Beaufort) is such a friendly community with a deep sense of pride in its history and natural beauty. I am very impressed with the volunteerism that takes place here.”

Melissa works as a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Platinum Partners, and is originally from Spartanburg, SC Bill has three children: Kate, age 40, Rob, 38, and Kristien, 35, and two stepchildren, David, 29, and Jenna, 27.

Bill, who lives with Melissa on Lady’s

the island news | january 10-16, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

Island, has the warmest of feelings about Beaufort and its citizens. Bill says,“It is such a friendly community with a deep sense of pride in its history and natural beauty. I am very impressed with the volunteerism that takes place here and the great mix of people who have lived here all their lives and those that have come more recently.”

After moving here, Bill got involved with local charities, working for United Way and supporting Beaufort Memorial Hospital. “The new emergency room is a great addition to our community,” Bill said.

He’s a past president of the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry and is proud of the work the Rotary Club does for Beaufort.

Something that you may not know about Bill? “I rowed crew in high school and traveled to Henley, England, where we won an international title,” he admits. “I also got to play in the NCAA golf tournament while in college. I really enjoy musical theater and think the movie version of Les Miserables is fantastic.”

About his role as chair of the Beaufort County School Board in charge of coordinating the work of the district to benefit the development of children, Bill has this to say: “I had the good fortune to live on Hilton Head and in Bluffton before moving to Beaufort, so I believe that after 24 years working in county schools here, I have a very good sense of the different communities and their expectations. I am very proud of the work that the district has done over the last several years with improving student achievement; we still have lots to do to get to where we should and can be.”

As far as the future of the school district is concerned, Bill says, “The children come first. As long as we keep that as our mantra, we will do the right things.”

lunch bunch For 30 years, serving up some of the biggest and best sandwiches in Beaufort

By Pamela Brownstein

When I look back at all the wonderful years I have lived in Beaufort, I am proud to say that Alvin Ord’s has played an integral role in some of my fondest memories since the beginning. Ten years ago, I started my first job at a newspaper on the night shift.

The first week I was there, I walked into the breakroom and saw a cute guy eating an amazing looking sandwich. I had to ask him where he got that sandwich, and our first conversation was all about the little restaurant on Ribaut Road. We did end up dating, and though that guy is long gone, I do have him to thank for my love affair with Alvin Ord’s.

I happily introduced the delicious food to my family and it became part of our ritual whenever they would visit from out of town: We would all order sandwiches from Alvin Ord’s and eat them picnic style either on the boardwalk in Port Royal or in Waterfront Park, or even on my front porch. Of course I introduced it to my husband when we first started dating and he fell in love with it too. We would both order medium roast beefs on French bread with a bag of chips and a Cherry Coke, pretty much my favorite meal.

And that’s exactly what I ordered when the Lunch Bunch was lucky enough to eat

at Alvin Ord’s last week. We joined the busy lunch crowd and even secured one of two coveted booths inside the intimate, nofrills sandwich shop that has been owned

by Tom and Marie Lewis since 1983.

Elizabeth ordered a small original Salvation — cheddar, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses toasted into a fresh whole wheat bun, then stuffed with ham, salami and spiced luncheon meat and dressed with lettuce, tomato, onions and mustard. Peggy got her usual, the French Dip, made with sliced roast beef and three cheeses and served with au jus. Buck tried the large Ham Salvation, and was surprised by the size. (He’s a novice.) A large can easily feed two adults.

I once thought that Alvin Ord’s was only in Beaufort, but my parents, who live in Texas, were driving through a little town and they spotted another one. We discovered that Alvin Ord’s is in fact a small chain with little stores scattered across Texas and the Southeast. Legend has it that the owners were once affiliated with the owners of Schlotsky’s Deli, but the two had a falling out and went their separate ways. It works out well for Beaufort, where we’d just as soon keep the fresh baked bread and tantalizing meat-and-cheese combinations as our secret.

Alvin Ord’s is located at 1415 Ribaut Road, Port Royal, and is open MondayFriday, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 843-524-8222.

wine

Kits, cats, sacks and wives

By Celia Strong

Sometimes one thing just makes you think of something else. Not even really connected but somehow, in your head, there is some shining connection that makes complete sense. Fortunately, with wine in the equation, some of those connections are more fun and more clear than they might be otherwise. This week’s wine has connected me to the old brain teaser about the person walking to Saint Ives: “As I was walking to Saint Ives, I met a man with seven wives.

Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats, each cat had seven kits.

Kits, cats, sacks and wives — how many were walking to Saint Ives?”

The answer is “one,” and we have one wine to look at this week. A red blend from California.

First, I suppose, we have to look at the world of blends in California wines. We very loosely use the term “Meritage” to categorize American blends. Officially, the name “Meritage” applies only to blends made from the Bordeaux grape varieties. The Meritage Association was founded in 1988 by a group of Napa Valley vintners. They were frustrated with the wine label laws established by the BATF for American wines, in particular the law saying they had to have 75 percent of a grape in a wine to name the wine for that variety.

As blending became more popular with these vintners, and as the wines they made with less than 75 percent of one variety were so good and so well received, an acceptable option became necessary. This led the newly formed association to run a contest to create a proprietary name for the category of blended wines. “Meritage” — a combination of “merit” and “heritage” — won, and the winner got two bottles per year of the Meritages made for 10 years by each member of the association.

Despite how few members there were in the original association in 1988, by 1999 there were 22 members and, by 2009, there were more than 250.

Membership in the Meritage Alliance, as it is now called, requires that the members make their blended wines according to certain guidelines. These

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Seven Daughters Red Blend is made with seven grape varieties. Hence the old brain teaser about the kits, cats, sacks and wives that’s been bouncing around in my head. wines can include only the Bordeaux varieties, red or white, can not be more than ninety percent of any one grape, can not exceed more than twenty-five thousand cases per vintage (exclusivity keeps them higher priced), and, not official, but it is strongly recommended that the Meritage of a winery is their best wine, period.

Having said all of that, though, we all know there are lots of blended wines that are not expensive, more universally available than a mere 25,000 cases would be, and use all kinds of different grapes, traditional Bordeaux or not. And thank goodness! Some of these blended wines are favorites for many of us. Personally, I like blended wines because of the added flavors and textures in these wines.

Compare a one-or-two-grape wine to a hot dog steamed and in a bun. Then, think of a blend as a hot dog grilled with chili, cheese, onions, mustard — the works. Both good, but which one made you hungrier? Our mouths are made to appreciate more than one flavor and texture. I like to help my mouth stay happy, and drinking wine blends does the job. Also, I find with less expensive wines, blends can taste more expensive than they actually are. That keeps the budget happy too.

So, this week’s wine is Seven Daughters Red Blend. Not an official Meritage, but a blend of seven grape

varieties. (Hence, the kits, cats, sacks and wives that’s been bouncing around in my head.). Interestingly, one of the seven grapes is one we almost never see.

The seven, in order of most to least are Syrah, Merlot, Grenache, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. And, what is Alicante Bouschet? This is one of the rare grape varieties that actually has colored juice. Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, all the varieties we think of, normally have white juice and their wines’ colors come from contact with the grape skins. There are other grapes with colored pulp, “teinturier,” most of them not “vitis vinifera” that we’re used to drinking. Alicante Bouschet was created in 1866, by Henri Bouschet. It is a cross between Petit Bouschet, created by Henri’s father, and Grenache. The new variety had deep color, high yields and easy maintenance when growing. Unlike other grapes, this variety has a two-color leaf on its vine, green with patches of purple. In France and the rest of Europe, it was popular because of its hardiness after the Phylloxera infestation of their vineyards in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the United States, Alicante Bouschet was popular during Prohibition. In the Central Valley, in California, growers found that its color was so deep and the pulp so juicy that wine could be made even from the fourth pressing of these grapes. Mmmm, good.

And, this grape’s thick skin made it possible to ship it from the West Coast to the East Coast. In 1928, 225 train cars of this grape were sold at auction in New York’s Pennsylvania Station to one buyer and used to make more than two million gallons of wine. There are pockets of this grape still grown, small but still there, around the world.

Seven Daughters Red is a wine created to match the American lifestyle. Free spirited and fun loving. Unlike Europe, where most of their wines developed with their foods as pairs. This region’s wines with the same region’s foods.

(And, it works for them, really, really well.) And look how many of us enjoy traveling to explore these pairings.

In California, though, a group of wine makers got together in the early 2000’s to talk about pairings, food-wise, with their wines. One free spirit claimed he thought wine paired best with laughter.

(Yikes! Did that discussion take a sharp turn?) But, now, here we are with one of their results. A great new wine. A red blend that is balanced, complex and layered, dry, fruity, medium-bodied, spicy with berry and vanilla and lavender flavors. Each variety giving its own little voice to the whole wine.

And, this is just a $14 wine? But, no!

Try $6.97. A new deal for all of us. Kits, cats, sacks and wives, how many are going to Saint Ives? Don’t care. I have Seven Daughters Red. Enjoy.

The Last Shavasana of Kim Nichols Cech

By Josefina Blanc

In music, time is measured in sound and silence, sound in notes and silence in rests. One of the most overlooked note values is silence.

But what would music be without it? And what would life be without rest?

I just found out of Kim’s passing. The world is most surreal today.

Every move I make seems so far away from my understanding. The sight of my phone, the sight of my dressing for work, and brushing my teeth, are unintelligible. There is no resentment to it. It is just far removed. The consciousness that is watching me do the things I do in this world is quite different from the person going to work this morning. That observing consciousness is still this morning. It is warm and silent, hurt, and so very lonely.

Then I turn around and I see, so clearly, that there are thousands of us, in a sort of floating stage, in full communion this morning, completely aware of how far we have removed ourselves from our bodies and from this beautiful earth our feet walk on. I smile at them, it is everybody, it is a sister, a son, a brother, a legion of practicing disciples, a friend, an enemy, an acquaintance, a mentor, a teacher, a grocer, a neighbor, an ex, a beloved relative, a dolphin, a dance partner, a school mate, a stranger, we are all there, confused by what just happened so beyond articulation, that we just are, here. Here we are one now.

Here we don’t need to travel, here we don’t need to speak or cry or understand anything. Here is where she has gone before us.

Kim, your tiny dancer’s life was musical in every way. You were a true artist and a profoundly talented one. You were completely original, true to yourself, true to nature and to your nature, to the good and the dark. We will be celebrating so many aspects of your life: your generosity, your righteousness, your compassion, your beauty, your creativity, your loving heart ... but today I will celebrate your talent, because it, to me, was your essence. You took your natural talents and bloomed well beyond the expected. It is quite evident to anyone who ever laid eyes on your moving body, that you had the gift of eloquence.

Your expression was made of a heavy weight somewhere between your heart and your feet’s roots, and of the lightness of your senses and the flow of your soul. There is nothing I can say that could describe you accurately enough, or your gifts to me, the gratitude I feel for you, and the sadness that is knowing we won’t gather around the fire in flesh and blood this time.

Ours was a brief friendship, but one of my most precious and infinite ones. Nothing compares to your presence. Nothing could compare to your courage, to your insisting on not doing business as usual, or your being completely unreasonable, yet make so much sense. You lead me through

a yogi’s awareness into insights at which I could have never arrived alone. Everything about you breathed effortlessness, you were able to do so much without doing, and with those actions you wrote a wordless treatise on the difference between control and command. Thank GOD there is Dragana to be your mirror sister and your legacy, for me and for many. Thank YOU for all the inspired and gifted teachers you leave us with. And above all, thank you for showing me how to raise an only child, a precious boy, so he can become an authentic, creative, kind and free human being as well. That is your greatest talent and accomplishment, and that is saying quite a bit, considering the heftiness of your other ones.

When I turn again from these thoughts, later today, I see us all again, still a bit ethereal, removed, still half-following her. Like Kim would have pointed out, there are no differences or boundaries between the body, the mind, the soul and the universe. She would say that resisting a muscle’s relaxation would only create more tension, and often lead to injury. If she were to speak to us in our pain, I know she would say something like: “The heart is a muscle, and when it stretches beyond its comfort place, pain will speak. Do not resist this opening, as to not injure your heart. Just listen to it, and breath into it.”

There is no pretending that some of our hearts won’t rip. But maybe we can reduce our collective

suffering by taking this event into our physical and spiritual practice, to open the heart, slowly, fearlessly, until Kim’s life AND death both can fit in it. This practice will require great courage, and great patience, but very little effort, because being gentle is what we seek when healing a sacred heart. Borges, I believe, once said that loving somebody was basically realizing how completely unique they are. Well, then, I will say no more, I guess that is my love for you in a quote, Kim. Words are mostly inadequate anyway, so let’s nurture and enjoy the silence.

In passing, we are certain that her biggest concern would be for her son AJ’s welfare. Please consider donating any sum of money on his behalf, on her website http://yogachandracenter. com or at SCB&T under Om Fund for Kim (843-521-5660; 189 Sea Island Parkway, Beaufort, SC 29907).

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

A message from your dog The last few decades have seen tremendous interest in the science of dogs. There is now an impressive body of scientific knowledge that can tell us a great deal about our canine companions. But how much of it is really important to the average dog owner? After all, is it important to know how many scent receptors our particular breed has? To know they can scent something on the other side of town is enough for most of us.

But if you asked your dog, there are a few things he would want you to know.

Just a few small but important things that could change the way you think about and interact with your Best Friend. If dogs could talk with us, what would they want us to know? I think they might say something like this ...

I Want To Work With You: When you brought me home, we both signed the contract. I can’t eat, drink, poop or go outside without you. You’re good enough to share your house with me and you’re my main source of social time and companionship. Because of what I get out of this relationship, there’s something I want you to know — I want to work with you!

Before you scream at me for missing a command, take a sec to think about what might be wrong with me that would cause me to goof up. We don’t speak your language, remember. We’re a whole different species. And you’ll forgive me for saying so but you guys aren’t exactly consistent with your messages.

Sometimes you ask me to sit and give me a cookie and other times you make me sit because you are upset with me.

Please do your best to show me what

If dogs could talk with us, what would they want us to know? I think they might say something like: “I want to work with you,” “I don’t hold grudges” and “I need a life, too.” you want without getting weird. It works better that way.

I Don’t Hold Grudges: Get it — we dogs don’t sit and stew over things like you humans do. We’ve got a lot going on in our worlds and it comes at us pretty fast, sometimes. We don’t really have the time or the brain power to remember and worry over what you did last week to upset us. We move on. Oh, sure, we remember the big things. We know the scary place with the big dog that barks so we can avoid it. We know that you get pissy if we use the rug in the bedroom for “business.” We even recognize that tone of voice or that body posture you get when you are upset with us. But if I didn’t get to go for that car ride with you yesterday, well that’s just over and done with as far as I’m concerned.

We know that you humans tend to hang on to that stuff. And I’m really sorry that I rooted around in the garbage (again) but I’ve moved on. So it’s confusing to me if you still act all mad at me a whole week

later. I didn’t do anything wrong today, see?

Maybe if we could get past that particular incident and focus on what’s happening now it would be easier on both of us.

I Need A Life Too: You humans are pretty terrific. With your thumbs, and all, I mean it. The balls and squeakies and the bones are fabulous. We love going for walks with you and checking the dog email at the fire hydrant down the street.

It’s fantastic when we get to play together.

You’ve invented so many fun games to play.

But, you know, sometimes we need to do

stuff on our own.

Maybe it’s a smell on the breeze, maybe it’s a new dog at the park, maybe sometimes we just get tired and sometimes we just need a break. Just because I want to go and have a sniff for a little bit doesn’t mean I don’t want to hang out with you ever again. Sometimes a dog just needs to do a bit of doggy stuff like dig up a varmint or get a little dirty. Can we just get a minute without you getting all nuts about it?

And while we’re on the subject, I’d like to go out for a run once and a while, OK? I love strolling around the block with you but I’d really like to work up a sweat. It’s good for my heart, you know. I like playing with other dogs, too. I had brothers and sisters when I was little, remember? So I wouldn’t mind a little “dog time” every once in a while.

Maybe if we keep these three things in mind, we can enjoy our Best Friends more. If we treated them like they were eager and willing, maybe we could be better teachers. If we accepted that they forgive us and move on, maybe we could be more forgiving of their mistakes, too.

And maybe if we gave them a little time to just be dogs, they would be happier companions.
