Hunting Island Nature Center welcomes two American Alligators to new exhibit The Nature Center at Hunting Island State Park will soon be home to a new exhibit. On Saturday, January 24 at 4pm, the staff will unveil its new alligator enclosure and introduce two new reptiles to the Nature Center. This is the first time since the opening of the Nature Center that alligators have been on display. Interpretive Park Ranger, Megan Stegmeir is excited.
“Bringing baby American Alligators to the Hunting Island Nature Center was my goal when I started as the Interpretive Park Ranger. I believe having them here not only gives our guests the experience of interacting with alligators, but also gives them the opportunity to learn about alligators and why we should respect them as a keystone species in our environment,” explains Stegmeir. The juvenile alligators were

Are you and your spouse on the same page? By Whitney McDaniel
After 24 years of marriage, Joe and Jane often finish each other’s sentences. So imagine how surprised they were when some differing goals emerged during a recent retirement income planning discussion with their Financial Advisor. As their advisor led the couple through an exercise designed to help them set retirement priorities, they discovered that Joe was eying a particular pocket of savings to enable his early retirement. Jane, on the other hand, viewed that same account as a fund for their children’s college education. Such discrepancies are common, even for couples who communicate well.“When you’ve lived with someone a long time, you may assume you know what your partner is thinking,” notes Donna Peterson, Senior Vice President in Retail Retirement at Wells Fargo. “If you’re not on the same page, you could thwart each other’s objectives without knowing it,” she warns — as in the example of Joe and Jane. Taking the Long View Uncovering such differences and deciding how to handle them is a critical early step to building a retirement income plan for both
partners. During this first stage, your Financial Advisor will ask each of you key questions, such as when you want to retire, where you’d like to live, Whitney McDaniel and how you ideally would fill your days during retirement. The answers to those three questions in particular can affect major financial decisions you make as a couple throughout your marriage, so it’s best to start discussing them well ahead of retirement. For example, if you’re in the market for a new home, decisions about how much to spend and how long you’ll stay there may change when viewed through the lens of retirement. It may make sense to economize on a house you intend to occupy only until your children are through grammar school, or to invest more heavily in a lifelong residence. The size of the mortgage can also affect how much you contribute to retirement savings, as well as whether you enter retirement carrying debt. Buying a home is just one choice into which retirement can factor. “Responsibilities to family, such as
paying for education or caring for older relatives, can influence your plans too,” Peterson says. And just as circumstances may change, so too can your retirement income plan — but it’s important to start with as complete a vision as possible. Starting the Conversation Surprisingly, Peterson recommends that you and your spouse meet with your Financial Advisor to discuss your retirement goals in detail. “ The most successful retirement plan conversations are generally a little spontaneous, so allow your Financial Advisor to serve as the catalyst for the discussion as well as your guide through it.” This discussion may stretch over a few meetings, since there’s a lot of ground to cover. Your advisor will not only help you discover your ideas about retirement but also begin to educate you about issues that can affect your income plan, such as: • Health care costs • Risk tolerance • Market and economic realities • Inflation and taxes “Very few couples have considered all these elements before consulting a professional,” says Peterson. Your Financial Advisor can suggest
ways to integrate these considerations into your joint retirement income plan. You may walk out of the session with a stronger strategy, as well as a greater understanding of your spouse’s hopes and dreams — knowledge that can make your partnership even stronger. Wells Fargo Advisors is not a legal or tax advisor. However, its Financial Advisors will be glad to work with you, your accountant, your tax advisor and/or your lawyer to help you meet your financial goals.

Beaufort launches Facebook page to share city information Hoping to reach a wider audience that may not be currently connecting with the City of Beaufort, city leaders are launching a City Hall Facebook page. Called City Beaufort SC, the official Beaufort City Hall Facebook page includes regular updates about upcoming meetings and events, topical news and requests for help, such as volunteers serving on various boards and commissions. “We did a small survey a few months ago and we found that, of the people responding, most were over 50 and got their news from a printed newspaper,” said Bill Prokop, director of human resources for the city.
“We need to find ways to connect effectively with younger residents, the people who can’t make it to City Council meetings because they’re working, or at home helping their kids with homework, or taking their kids to the soccer or baseball fields. Using social media is one way to connect with them,” he said. The City of Beaufort fire and police departments have been using Facebook for more than a year to share information. Police Chief Matt Clancy said Facebook followers have helped solve numerous crimes by recognizing suspects from surveillance images shared on Facebook. “For us, it’s an incredible way to share information very quickly and
to reach out to ask people to help,” Clancy said. “I’m sure the City Hall Facebook page will be just as effective.” In coming months, the city will also join the crowds on Twitter and Instagram. The City Beaufort SC Facebook page includes regular updates about upcoming meetings, ways to learn more about specific issues, and links to stories and news releases about Beaufort. “We want our Facebook page to be an interactive community, where we share information from City Hall and people can learn and ask questions,” Prokop said. “We have a lot happening
in the City that we need people to be aware of, including the Boundary Street Corridor project, economic redevelopment issues, budget concerns and parking. “Using social media is just one more tool in our communications toolbox,” he said. “The city’s website (www.cityofbeaufort.org) is still our primary online presence where we share documents, agendas, minutes and all sorts of detailed reports. We are working to make the website more interactive, too, so that people can search for specific information or even create their own financial reports.”

They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere! And yet they remain behind the scenes Second Helpings benefiting Beaufort
By Noel Tillman
The exclaimer in the title above sounds like a humorous radio gig a decade ago where the Super Hero, Chicken Man, seemed to be everywhere doing one good deed or another. That is what a lot of folks in the greater Beaufort area say about an organization called Second Helpings. They are everywhere! The question to ask now is “How much good are they doing in our community?” How about this fact: over 1 million pounds of food are delivered to 38 plus locations in and around Beaufort each year. The two trucks are on the road 7 days a week, zig zaging across northern Beaufort County, rescuing food from local supermarkets and other food suppliers and delivering to food pantries, churches, community centers, and shelters. The trucks average about 3500-4000 pounds of food each trip. The food is healthy,
fresh, and most importantly, needed by the 20,000 customers who visit the drop-off sites for subsistence assistance. These neighbors of ours are mostly the working poor or adults and children that are in some kind of protective care. When seasonal migrant workers arrive in the area every spring to help with the produce harvest, they come with not much more than the basics in clothing. The Franciscan Center director, Sister Canice, says when they first arrive they are in need of “survival food support” and the center located on St Helena ensures it is given, but it would not be possible without the 80 volunteers that work the Second Helpings trucks and help at the local agencies. Second Helpings is headquartered in the HHI/ Bluffton area where similar programs and work is being done. Maureen Korzik, the Executive Director of the program, cites
Kick off of Beaufort County Senior Leadership
affiliation with the national program that is endorsed by another national effort called Feeding America. You can visit You Tube- Feeding America to view short 3-4 minute videos and see what their program goals are for the nation. How does an organization like Second Helpings stay afloat, pay for the truck operation, a small office staff, and the myriad of responsibilities good 501C nonprofit organizations must employ to remain effective? Supermarket chains like Publix, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Food Lion, Bi Lo, Kroger and Harris Teeter, keep the surplus food coming. Major donors like the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, United Way, and the Beaufort Fund, churches and individual donations are generous in their support. Annual fund raisers and countless efforts to include hotdog sales, canned goods collections, and more are
also valuable. The back bone of the organization really is the volunteers. Men and women who are helping with the food distribution program, while others donate their time and talent helping with fund raising events, administrative tasks, advisory board duties, marketing efforts, and more. Many of the volunteers have been serving 10,11,12,13 years. Some “retire” a second time and so the need for more help is constant. The local Volunteer Coordinator, Cesar Garcia, can be contacted at 843-4414601. So the next time you see the Second Helpings truck on the road, at some of the stops like Help of Beaufort, Our Ladies Pantry, The Franciscan Center, CAPA, local churches, and at local events like the recent Jaycees Oyster Roast, think, Oh yes, They are EVERYWHERE, and that could not happen without the continuous support of volunteers.

Beaufort County Senior Leadership
The Beaufort County Senior Leadership (BCSL) kicked off the 2015 program with a Reception and Orientation at the Islands of Beaufort clubhouse on January 6th. The first “official” session was the following day, January 7th, at USCB with 33 eager participants ready to gain knowledge of the history of the area north of the Broad River with special emphasis on the pre-Civil War cotton economy and the first effort to incorporate freed slaves into the American society. The Oaks plantation
on St. Helena Island was generously opened to the participants to broaden their understanding of plantation life. The Oaks, a premier waterfront event venue on Chowan Creek was built in 1855. The Oaks was the founding location of the Penn Normal School. The plantation, Tombee, is now privately owned by, Mr. Sydney Snelgrove, who graciously offered the grounds open to the class for further understanding of the cotton culture and island life as explained by Dr. Rosengarten.

Winners are selected at the local, state, and national levels and then ultimately a grand winner at the international
level. The theme of this year’s poster is Peace, Love and Understanding. Seeing children express hopefulness for peace through their artwork helps raise everyone’s spirit in today’s world shell-shocked by the atrocities of terrorists. Makayla Hollins won this year’s contest and was presented a check at a ceremony at Golden Corral on December 15.

New pediatrician joins local medical staff To better serve its youngest patients, Beaufort Memorial has added another pediatrician to its medical staff. Dr. Anca Dumitriu is the newest member of Beaufort Pediatrics, a seven-physician practice located at 964 Ribaut Road, across the street from the hospital’s main campus. A native of Romania, Dumitriu moved to Beaufort this summer after completing a pediatric hematology/ oncology fellowship in June at the Medical University of South Carolina. During her three years at MUSC she was honored with Physician of the Month and Pediatric Subspecialty Fellow of the Year
awards. Dumitriu earned her medical degree in Bucharest and went on to complete her pediatric residency at Geisinger Medical Center’s Dr. Anca Dumitriu Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville, Pa. Her postdoctoral experience includes a year-long fellowship in neurosurgery at Geisinger and a six-month fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic’s Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center.
BMH issues guidelines and restricts visitation Beaufort Memorial is experiencing a high volume of patients with serious respiratory and flu-related health issues, which has resulted in longer than normal wait times and a larger than usual number of patients to the hospital. As a result, the hospital has issued guidelines to assist the community in identifying the right course of action in the case of illness. In addition, the hospital is restricting visitation for the immediate future. “Adults who are experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as runny nose, sore throat and fever, will be encouraged not to visit patients in the hospital,” said Kevin Kremer, Beaufort Memorial Emergency Department Director. “We
are now restricting visitors under 18, as well as asking the community to limit hospital visits to one visit per patient. We hope that these precautions will prevent further spread of the flu and other viruses, and better enable us to care for those patients who most need to be in the hospital at this time.” However, all patients (including children) experiencing signs of the following should seek immediate care from the emergency department: • Difficulty breathing • Chest or abdomen pain • Dizziness • Confusion • Severe vomiting • Fever with a rash (children)

Return of the Reiki Clinic By Chris Suddeth
Reiki clinic is returning quarterly in 2015 to Lady’s Island. This lovely holistic offering is a form of energy work that hales from Japan and is translated as Spirit-Guided Life-Force Energy. I am honored and excited to be part of the Reiki Community sharing this offering. I first heard about the clinics during my Reiki infancy way back in 2009. Those blessed clinics molded the intuitive healer that I am today. We cannot heal until first healing ourselves. Those clinics formed the bonds of friendship and basis for healing that I am the beneficiary of today. The Reiki clinics gave many their first taste of energy healing and quite possibly the first transpersonal experiences of their lives. Then they faded away a few years ago as we ceded to the natural ebb and flow of life. Now, thanks to the insight of Reiki Master Ashana Jones, the Reiki community is bringing back this lovely offering of healing and fellowship. Reiki’s roots found fertile ground in Japan in the late 19th century. Reiki’s intelligent energy is now rooted in the sandy soil of Beaufort and growing along with the live oaks that bless our neck of the woods. Reiki, along with other forms of holistic healing, promises to make Beaufort the Lowcountry Asheville, NC in the near future. This was evidenced by the strong turn-out for Therafest this past October. Reiki’s benefits include, but are not limited to, deep relaxation, accelerating the body’s natural healing ability, increasing 8
mental focus, emotional releases, and even spiritual revelations. Granted, most won’t feel the pull to go on to put their hot healing Chris Suddeth hands on people other than loved ones, but Reiki is so much more. Reiki is the path to whole self-care that attracts many due to its relative simplicity to employ into everyday life once attuned. In its simplicity lies its beauty to empower individuals to cope with the curve balls, fast balls, and flop shots of life. It’s a life changer that produces results even after just one short session with a practitioner. Reiki’s energy is unique in the energy work world in that, not only can it be shared as is the intention of the Lady’s Island Quarterly Reiki Clinic, but it can also be passed on by a properly trained Reiki Master you feel drawn to. Once this intelligent energy is “passed on” or attuned into the recipient, it’s theirs to do as little or as much with as they see fit.

Mirror, mirror By Takiya Smith
At some point in time many of us have heard or even chanted this duel worded phrase from the ever so popular childhood Disney movie “Sleeping Beauty”. As a child and to be honest, not so long ago, I can recall, most recently, watching the Evil Queen, bellow out her demands upon the mirror to know “who is the fairest of them all?” Now, as we most know, the story goes on to share and have the “Mirror” reveal that Snow White was the fairest and most beautiful of all....but let’s leave the whimsical forest, sit tight in the castle and take a minute to see things from the Evil Queens perspective. I mean, what was her deal anyway? Did she really need to be told that she was beautiful every single day by a normally inanimate but now talking object? Or was she just an ego-boosting seeker at heart knowing that she was already beautiful yet needing others to say it? Here is how I equate and relate modern day, real world to fairy tale make believe: In this day and age, everything about being beautiful, like the Evil Queen, is seeking to build you up or break you down with comparisons to less being more, more being less, enough being too much and too much not being enough. Well, with all the hidden innuendos how in the world would one recognize to know what true beauty is? The poor Queen seemed to need some sort of pat on the back or a confidence boosting compliment just to understand who she even was! Yet, the undiscovered and underlying theme to my rant this week is simply that she did not. She was Queen over all the

land, she was the ruler of her castle and heir to her very own throne. No matter how she had acquired her position and regardless of the length and duration of her reign, it was hers! Sadly, she failed to own that. Instead, she chose to spend out her days obsessing over the words of a mirror that foretold of another’s beauty instead of looking deeper into what was already hers. The heart can be a mirror which speaks directly to and about us, for the the Bible says “for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” - Proverbs 23:7 KJV. What’s in your heart about yourself to today? Or are you like the Queen,so busy about and concerned with the thoughts, actions and words of others...so much so that you can’t see who you truly, truly are? Well, no wonder so many of us are still waiting on our happily ever after. We are seeking and searching in all the wrong places. Know now that it begins and ends with you. Takiya La’Shaune Smith is a the founding owner of both Beautique Lash & Brow and The Brow Company Beauty Bar & Makeup Studio.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
School calendars approved for next two school years The Beaufort County Board of Education has approved calendars for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years. For the 2015-16 school year, teachers will report to schools on August 10, 2015, with the first day for students on August 17. The last day for students will be May 27, 2016. High school students will change from an A/B schedule to a hybrid 4x4 schedule that will permit the first
semester to end before winter break. With the hybrid 4x4 schedule, students take four 90-minute semester-long classes and finish classes in a single semester as opposed to having them last the entire year. For some select classes, such as Advanced Placement, the hybrid schedule can accommodate three 58-minute year-long classes. Benefits of the approved calendar include ending the school year shortly after state accountability testing;
allowing for early graduation at the end of first semester; increasing the number of instructional days in November and during the spring semester; and allowing time during the summer for state-mandated reading intervention camps. The approved 2015-16 calendar also includes various staff development days. State-mandated days for possible weather make-up are Jan. 3, Feb. 15, and May 31. Holidays with

BEAUFORT TEACHERS’ GROUP RECOGNIZED
NATIONALLY
On behalf of the National Education Association (NEA), The South Carolina Education Association (The SCEA) is pleased to recognize its affiliate, The Beaufort County Education Association (The BCEA), for unparalleled achievement in post-recession membership growth. According to NEA data released earlier this month, The SCEA is projected to grow its membership substantially this year, in large part due to exceptional growth in the Beaufort area. “Front and center to South Carolina’s resurgence has been Beaufort County Education Association,” NEA Senior Director for Organizing Jim Testerman said in a January 5 NEA memo. “Beaufort has nearly doubled in membership over the past few years – and is poised once again to show significant growth.” “ This achievement is especially significant considering understandable losses experienced during and since the economic recession,” said Bernadette R. Hampton, President of The SCEA. “Our staff and members in the Lowcountry have truly stepped up to promote their professional association and bring new members into the fold so they may better advocate on behalf of students and the dedicated professionals who educate them.”

Dr. Kat says...we see the benefit of fluoride everyday in the reduction of decay in children, but on the other hand, fluorosis (white spots in the enamel) is becoming much more prevalent in children. The federal government is studying a proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in our drinking water, which should help reduce the amount of fluorosis we are seeing. In the meantime, make sure your child is using the “smear” technique of putting toothpaste on the brush. Smearing a small dab on the brush should be less than the “pea-size” amount previously recommended. Also, you should be monitoring the 2-7 year olds (the most important ages for enamel development of permanent teeth), in making sure they are spitting the toothpaste out rather than ingesting it. A child less than 2 should be using water only or fluoride-free training toothpaste. the island news | january 15-21, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

THE INDIE FILM CORNER: ‘CITIZEN FOUR’ The USCB Center for the Arts presents the Indie Film “Citizen Four” on Monday, January 19 at 7 p.m. Directed by Laura Poitras, “Citizen Four” stars Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, and Jacob Appelbaum. In January 2013, filmmaker Laura Poitras was in the process of constructing a film about abuses of national security in post-9/11 America when she started receiving encrypted e-mails from someone identifying himself as “citizen four,” who was ready to blow the whistle
on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. In June 2013, she and reporter Glenn Greenwald flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with the man who turned out to be Edward Snowden. She brought her camera with her. The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely
sui generis in the history of cinema: a 100% reallife thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes. Poitras is a great and brave filmmaker, but she is also a masterful storyteller: she compresses the many days of questioning, waiting, confirming, watching the world’s reaction and agonizing over the next move, into both
a great character study of Snowden and a narrative that will leave you on the edge of your seat as it inexorably moves toward its conclusion. CITIZENFOUR is a major work on multiple levels, and a deeply unsettling experience. Tickets are adults $7, senior $6, students $7. USCB 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 www. uscbcenterforthearts.com.

A Met Opera ‘Operetta’: Franz Lehar’s
“The Merry Widow” Saturday, Jan 17, 12:55 p.m. By Alan Schuster
Here are a few good reasons to buy a ticket – perhaps a pair - for Saturday’s performance of “The Merry Widow.” First, it is generally considered to be the finest operetta ever composed. Second, the title role will be sung by Renee Fleming, who is generally considered to be the finest lyric soprano in today’s world of opera. And third, it will be sung and spoken in English - and without any German subtitles! Often called ‘The Queen of Operettas’, Lehar’s romantic comedy had its premiere in Vienna in 1905, enjoying rapid international success. In 1934, it became a popular movie starring Jeanette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier, and in 1975, it was debuted as a ballet in Australia. Peter Davis, author of “The American Opera Singer,” writes that “No composer wrote lilting melodies more frequently than Lehar. The music is so familiar that audiences tend to take the score for granted, seduced by those ever-fresh tunes.” Each of the three acts features a memorable gem. In the first, Danilo, frustrated by his embassy job, looks forward to the day’s end: “Then I go to Maxim’s where I am very much at home.” It’s only shortcoming is that it is too short. Hanna’s bewitching folk ballad in act two - “Villias, the spirit maids who haunt our woods” - is a golden moment for any soprano, and thus perfectly suited for Ms. Fleming. And finally, a beautiful duet for Hanna and Danilo, “Love unspoken, faith unbroken,” leading to Lehar’s most memorable tune of all-time, the “Merry Widow waltz.” The singers: Co-starring with Renee Fleming as Hanna will be Nathan Gunn as Danilo and Kelli O’Hara as Valencienne. Andrew Davis will conduct. All seats are general admission. Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10. Or order online at www.uscbcenterfor thearts.com. Box office opens at noon: 843-521-4145.

Photo courtesy of Nate Hildreth resolutions slowly wane, and we become that creature of habit again…that person who was in the mirror in December. My objective for the cover of this issue was to ask Beaufortonians what their resolutions were for 2015. After inquiring many locals in the area, the overwhelming response was either, “I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore,” or “I don’t want to say publicly, because I know I
won’t succeed,” or some version of those two answers. I guess I didn’t want to begin the new year with pessimism. Most of you know I’m an overt and sometimes disillusioned optimist. So, I thought I’d give you a little humor and tell you my Top 15 resolutions of 2015. You’re about to understand my NEW YEAR continued on page 7
The Lowcountry says goodbye to an esteemed statesman Former South Carolina Gov. James B. Edwards, who also served as energy secretary under President Ronald Reagan, died Friday at the age of 87. Edwards, elected in 1974, was the first Republican governor of the state since Reconstruction, The Associated Press reports. Representative Mark Sanford released the following statement on the passing of Governor Jim Edwards: “South Carolina lost a great leader, a
visionary Republican, and an even more remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. Governor Edwards has always been extraordinary not only for all that he has accomplished but the way in which he did so. He had an ever-warm spirit that was infectious for the way that he showed concern and care for so many of us in the Lowcountry and across the state, and in that regard, he will be particularly Former South Carolina Governor missed. My prayers and thoughts go to James B. Edwards Ann and the family.”

wine
The other half of your better half
By Celia Strong
The other half is also a better half, but let’s just keep some confusion around us for a moment. The Better Half is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that we found about six months ago. And, some of us have been enjoying it quite a bit without any confusion at all. But, now there’s another wine from the same winery, hence the other half. That makes it the second Better Half, right? Is it possible to have two better halves? Sure, two halves make a whole. So, now you know. Phew! Enough confusion, let’s talk wine. As a review, the history of New Zealand wines started in the midnineteenth century with James Busby. That was 1836. The oldest, still existing, winery in the country was established by the Roman Catholic Church in 1851. It wasn’t until the late1960’s and early 1970’s, though, that their wine industry really got going. It was three things happening that made a huge change possible. Fair trade laws changed when England joined the EEC in 1973; their restrictions on New Zealand exports had to be lifted. This in turn meant New Zealand meat and dairy products became less popular in favor of export products with higher profits. And, with better travel advantages available, the younger generation of New Zealanders began to travel to Europe, learned about wine and brought that style of dining back to their home country. Hopefully, it’s not too boring to remember all this. Anyhow, as we know, New Zealand made a name for themselves, in the world of wine, with their Sauvignon Blancs. With Pinot Noir, things were not quite as fast or as easy for them. In the beginning, like the late 1970’s, growing red varieties was discouraged because it was thought that New Zealand had a slightly low number of annual sunshine hours. Also, some of their first Pinot plantings weren’t even Pinot Noir. (They were actually Gamay vines, which are the variety that makes Beaujolais wines.) The St Helena 1984 Pinot Noir from the Canterbury region was an exception.
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
It was good Pinot. And, for a while, it was thought Canterbury was where they should grow Pinot Noir. Soon, Martinborough, at the southern end of the North Island, produced some interesting and complex Pinot Noir wines. That was at the end of the 1980’s and into the 1990’s. About this same time, Central Otago, located about eight hours driving time south of Marlborough, got into the Pinot business also. Central Otago has a long history, for New Zealand, of growing quality stone fruits, especially cherries. (Interesting, considering that is one of the main flavors of Pinot.) This area is located further south than all the other wine regions in this country and had a history of growing grapes. (Keep in mind, further south in the Southern Hemisphere means cooler, not warmer climates.) Central Otago is also surrounded by mountain ranges which means more temperature variation between seasons and between night and day. We need to remember how up and down temperatures develop more layers of complexities in wine grapes as they grow and ripen. In recent years, Central Otago Pinot Noirs have won numerous awards and great reviews. From around the world. And, a bit more about Pinot Noir in general. This is a much more difficult variety to grown. It is not tolerant of hard or windy or hot and dry or harsh vineyard conditions. It is sensitive to soil types, pruning and yeast strains. Its thin skin makes it very susceptible to rot and fungal diseases. Even its leaves can get viruses and funguses. Yet, it is very reflective of its “terroir,” showing a wide range of flavors and textures depending on where it is grown. All of this has given Pinot Noir a reputation as being a difficult grape. In New Zealand, it was some
“Stop by and test drive a vehicle loan.”
Our Better Half Pinot Noir is youthful and fruit-driven. Full of strawberry and plum aromas with underlying notes of earthy mushrooms. It is vibrant with strawberry, plum and other berry flavors and a hint of white pepper. of these issues that made them think Pinot Noirs were not meant for them. Luckily, as better clones came into New Zealand they made better wines. And better fermenting made much better wines. So much so that New Zealand Pinot Noirs are one of their most sought out red wines. Typically, New Zealand Pinot Noirs are fruitforward wines. And, they mature early in their bottles. Alcohol levels are higher than their cousins in Burgundy, France with a naturally low acidity. Many producers leave their grapes on the vines longer. These wines have plummy flavors and heavier textures. They are full-bodied wines compared to most other Pinot Noirs. From the Martinborough region of New Zealand, Pinots are savory and earthy and very complex. Central Otago Pinots are “fruit bombs” with big, soft textures and rich flavors. Marlborough Pinot Noirs are fragrant and roundfeeling in your mouth. The Better Half is our winery for this week. It is owned by a husband, George Elworthy, and his wife, Jules Taylor. She is a winemaker for her own brand, and when they established The Better Half, the name seemed perfect.
George, too, is a winemaker, so you can just imagine dinner table discussions at their house. Really? Forget the discussions. Think of the wines. Mmmmmm. For the 2014 vintage, the growing season began with lots of sun and rain. Shoot and fruit pruning were essential to concentrate flavors and textures. A cooler than normal summer, with plenty of sunshine hours, gave a crop with full flavors. The grapes were hand picked and sent right to the winery. Selected yeasts were used for the fermentation. Our Better Half Pinot Noir is youthful and fruit-driven. Full of strawberry and plum aromas with underlying notes of earthy mushrooms. It is vibrant with strawberry, plum and other berry flavors and a hint of white pepper. From the winery, foods recommended with this wine include grilled lamb, salads with meats, goat cheeses, spicy foods, duck and duck pancakes, salmon - poached, cold, and grilled, game birds, mushroom tarts, Asian dishes, pâté. Quite a lengthy list. And such fun. And, that is our better half. No, I mean the other half. The second half. Oh, you know what I mean. For $15.99. Enjoy.
If you have good credit, we can get you the right loan. And one of our area car dealers can put you in the right vehicle. Whether you’re looking for a new car, a second car, a pick up or an RV, before you take a test drive, stop by and test drive a vehicle loan. We’ve helped a lot of hometown people get from here to there.

What is dog food? By Tracie Korol
Of late we’ve had a few local horses die from tainted feed. Now, I’m the first one to admit I know nothing about horses and what should or should not go into them, but the news that the feed was at fault is no surprise. The production of industrialized food and feed is a messy proposition with lots of opportunity for something to go wrong. Here’s how it works with dog food: It would be nice if our dogs actually received the foods manufacturers lead us to believe are in each bag of chow. Plump whole chickens, choice cuts of beef, fresh grains, crunchy, fresh vegetables; all the wholesome nutrition your dog will ever need! This is what the U.S. pet food industry, at a profit of $58.51 billion in 2014, wants us to believe we are buying when we purchase their products. It is logical that the pet food industry is an extension of the human food and agriculture industries. Pet foods are a convenient way for slaughterhouse leftovers and offal (oogly bits), grains considered “unfit for human consumption” and similar wastes to be turned into cash. Dogs, as omnivores, do well on a primarily meat-based diet. The protein (meat) used in pet food comes from a variety of sources. When cattle, swine, chickens, lambs, or other animals are slaughtered, lean muscle tissue is trimmed away for human consumption, along with the novelty organs that people like to eat, such as tongues and tripe. About 50% of every food animal does not get used in human foods, however.

The Yuck Factor, Part One Whatever remains of the carcass — heads, feet, bones, blood, intestines, lungs, spleens, livers, ligaments, fat trimmings, unborn babies, and other parts not generally consumed by humans — is used in pet food, animal feed, fertilizer, industrial lubricants, soap, rubber, and other products. These “other parts” are known as “by-products.” By-products are used in feed for poultry and livestock as well as in pet food. Better brands of pet food, the “superpremium,” “natural,” and “organic” varieties, do not use by-products. On the label, you’ll see one or more named meats among the first few ingredients, such as “turkey” or “lamb.” These meats are still mainly leftover scraps; in the case of poultry, bones are allowed, so “chicken” consists mainly of backs and frames—the spine and ribs, minus the expensive breast meat. The small amount of meat left on the bones is the “chicken” in the pet food. Meat meals, poultry meals, by-product meals, and meat-and-bone meal are common ingredients in dry pet foods. The

the island news | january 15-21, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
term “meal” means that these materials are not used fresh, but have been rendered. Rendering is “to process as for industrial use: to render livestock carcasses and to extract oil from fat, blubber, etc., by melting.” (Webster’s Dictionary) Rendering separates fat, removes water, and kills bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other organisms. However, the high temperatures (270°F/130°C) also alters or destroys natural enzymes and proteins found in the raw ingredients. To complete the story, the amount of grain and vegetable products included in pet foods has grown over time, often, in some cases, completely replacing the meat proteins. Early on this practice led to severe nutritional deficiencies and many animals
had to die before science caught up to this practice. Now, gluten meals, the highpowered protein extracts (and, the iffy stuff from China), are used to boost meat protein percentages. Corn gluten is most common because it’s really cheap. Wheat gluten is used to create the “shapes” we think dogs like to eat. It’s also used as the thickener in dog food “gravy”. Think glue. As you might expect, foods containing high levels of vegetable proteins are among the poorer quality foods. To make pet food nutritious, pet food manufacturers must “fortify” it with vitamins and minerals. Why? Because the ingredients they are using are not wholesome, their quality may be extremely variable, and the harsh manufacturing practices destroy many of the nutrients the food had to begin with. Proteins are especially vulnerable to heat, and become damaged, or “denatured,” when cooked. Because dry foods ingredients are cooked twice — first during rendering and again in the extruding process — problems are much more common than with canned or homemade foods. Altered proteins may contribute to food intolerances, food allergies, and inflammatory bowel disease. Next in this series: additives, chemicals and preservatives. Yum.
