which will enable Coroner Ed Allen to offer more family services and perform required administrative functions in a central location. “The new building allows me and my deputy coroners to provide a more private area to speak with grieving families as well as more space to efficiently keep records,” said Allen. The project, which cost $850,000, came from bond sales.

City, county use grant funding to improve parking at Basil Green Approximately 70 on-street parking spaces will be organized on three streets at Beaufort’s much-used Basil Green Park through an agreement among the city, Beaufort County and the state Department of Transportation. The parking improvements are part of Beaufort’s Civic Master Plan and have been needed for years. On a typical night of soccer or baseball, parked cars and trucks jam the narrow greenways surrounding the athletic fields, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said. “This is going to make a huge difference not only to the people who visit and use the Basil Green Park, but also to all those people who live along the roads near the park,” Dadson said. “On a busy sports night, some residents couldn’t even pull out of their driveway because of all the cars parked every which way.” In a Joint Use Agreement adopted by both city and county leaders, they agree to use S.C. Park and Recreation Development (PARD) grant funds for approximately 70 on-street parking
spots around Basil Green. This includes about 38 parallel spaces on Rodgers and Lafayette streets and 33 angled spaces on Nairne. The city and county will each contribute $21,772 to the project in a combination of grant money and local match money. Beaufort leaders have worked with the S.C. Department of Transportation in the design of the onstreet parking and use of the right of way. “The County Parks and Leisure Services team really stepped up to make this a true partnership, recognizing the importance of the Basil Green complex to county recreation and the issue we face with parking,” Dadson said. The local legislative delegation, led by S.C. Sen. Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), approved the project and its use of grant funds. Almost two years ago, Beaufort Planning Director Libby Anderson presented a plan to formalize and add parking at Basil Green to bring the number of spaces to 244. She noted in
the February 2012 meeting with the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission that parking at the complex was haphazard and created inconveniences for all involved. “Obviously this is something we’ve been working on for a long time,” she said today.“Now that we have all the necessary parties in agreement, and we have a way to pay for it, we’ll get it moving as quickly as we can.” Redevelopment Commission Chairman Jon Verity said the park is an important hub of activity in the center of Beaufort. Located downtown near the Beaufort National Cemetery, Basil Green Park is among the most-used recreational sites in Beaufort and Port Royal. “I’m glad we are going to get this done and taken care of,” Verity said. “It’s so important to the people who live here, and to the people who may someday live here, that we maintain and improve our recreational facilities. Certainly part of that is providing adequate parking.”
Parris Island to open 2014 tax filing center By Gunnery Sgt. Bill Lisbon
The Parris Island tax center is scheduled to open Jan. 31, 2014, to provide free income tax filing assistance to Beaufort-area military personnel. The center, located in building 911 on Cuba Street, is available to active duty service members, retirees, family members and activated reservists for help with both state and federal returns. The tax center will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for appointments, except Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-4 p.m. for walk-ins only. Those with special circumstances who need assistance at different times will be considered on a case-by-case basis
with priority given for drill instructors and deploying personnel. While all returns or extension requests must be filed by April 15 to avoid penalties, the center will remain open until April 30. In coordination with the Internal Revenue Service, the Parris Island legal services support team supervises the annual operation of the center, which is staffed by Marines as part of the federally sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Last year, Parris Island tax preparers prepared 1,005 federal tax returns and 935 state returns that resulted in approximately $2.6 million in refunds
— saving personnel approximately $200,000 in preparation fees, said Capt. Richard Blanchette, tax center officer in charge. The Marines assigned to the tax center have completed advanced tax preparer training and are certified, said Staff Sgt. Lawrence D. Smith, tax center chief. Users of the tax center are asked to bring their military identification, Social Security cards for each family member claimed on the return, W-2, W-2G, 1099-R and 1099-Misc forms, last year’s return and any other documents that may relate to income. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 843-228-3547.

The investigations into both incidents remain ongoing. The Sheriff ’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact either Investigator Sgt. J. Kelleher at 843-255-3418 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372).

Some of the most effective market tools that we have used over the years to explain the importance of having an investment game plan are magazine covers. We often find that magazine covers typically present the most concise summary of investor psychology available. The average investor, as is perhaps best illustrated in various studies from Dalbar and others, over-corrects to changes in the market as they shift their 401(k) based generally on the feeling in their gut. Simply put, investors who are left to their own devices will, in sum, make emotional, irrational decisions and underperform over time as a result. They will buy when it is comfortable and sell when it is uncomfortable and that makes providing for a more comfortable lifestyle down the road a much longer road indeed. Magazine covers typically help reinforce this modus operandi by providing a picture of the market’s collective conscious. For instance, the psychological effects of buying the “top” of the market is a tough one to overcome especially when media headlines are so bullish. At the end of the day, the fear of buying the top of the market ultimately comes from the lack of sell discipline. It is for this reason that we find mainstream magazine covers so useful, they simply provide a reflection of what is comfortable and palatable to investors at any given time. While we find magazine covers extremely useful, it is not because their advice is helpful, but to the contrary it reminds us of what market psychology has categorized as “certainty” and then forces us to think in a different direction, to think about what possibilities exist on the other side of that trade. Why Magazine Covers Work? Any editor worth his corner office is able to take all of the economic confluences that exist, both the lofty expectations and the latest disappointments, and distill them into one 9” X 11” glossy visage that evokes one thought from passersby: “I need to read what’s inside.” Typically, this is achieved by a strong confirmation of some generally accepted premise, or more importantly, rarely is it achieved by offering some innovative, againstthe-grain, advice. Forbes magazine is no more likely to run a cover of who they think will be Company of the Year in 2014 today than Rolling Stone was to put Brittney Spears on their

cover when she was a Mouseketeer. Instead, bullish covers often occur much closer to the landing than the takeoff of an investment flight. Charles Tumlin A few years ago a group of professors at the University of Richmond, unbeknownst to us, actually tried to put some numbers to this observation. They looked at headlines from Business Week, Fortune, and Forbes for a 20 year period. Of the 2,080 cover stories they found, 549 were actually included in the study as they dealt with a particular public company for which the aftermath of the stock could be measured. Of those 549 stories, the vast majority (350) were slanted to the positive side, while 99 were considered “neutral” and 100 were “negative.” Keep in mind the time period was 19832002, which naturally lent itself to both bullish covers and bullish outcomes. At any rate, according to their research paper, “Are Cover Stories Effective Contrarian Indicators?,” Tom Arnold, CFA; John H. Earl, Jr., CFA; and David S. North found the following: “Statistical testing implied that positive stories generally indicate the end of superior performance and negative news generally indicates the end of poor performance.” The study was very interesting and it makes a great piece of research to forward any friend or neighbor who suggests one of “those ideas” that is based in nothing more than popular conjecture and that more importantly isn’t supported by your investment game plan. The results of the University of Richmond show that bullish covers are born of spectacular outperformance, but followed by much tamer returns. Meanwhile, bearish covers actually tend to be followed by the opposite of what investors would expect — stark outperformance! ‘ This article was written by Dorsey Wright and Associates and provided by Charles Tumlin, Vice President – Investments, Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, Beaufort, South Carolina, 843-524-1114.

Valentine Ball: A tradition continues It was envisioned as Beaufort’s social affair of the season. The inaugural Valentine Ball was going to be an elegant black tie soiree unlike any other charity function in the community. “We were trying to think of a big event that would be different from other Beaufort fundraisers,” said Weezie Gibson, who was serving on the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation board of trustees when the concept for the gala was conceived 25 years ago. “People were just winding down from months spent helping victims of Hurricane Hugo. The ball would be a great way to lift their spirits.” To spark even more interest, organizers came up with the idea of having private dinner parties all over town where small groups of friends could meet up before going to the main event. The plan worked like a charm. “So many people bought tickets, we didn’t have enough dinner parties to accommodate everyone,” said Gibson, who co-chaired the 1990 Valentine Ball with her husband Jim. “We had to find a party for 30 people.” With little time left to recruit volunteer hosts, the Gibsons decided to host a party themselves at the Beaufort Yacht & Sailing Club. “It was a men’s club, so it was a very casual setting,” Gibson recalled. “To spruce things up, we brought in linens and all our good china and silver.

used camellias to decorate the tables and candles to create ambiance.” Yacht club chef Larry Taylor prepared a delicious dinner of prime rib and roasted potatoes. Around 9 p.m., the group joined the other guests at the Officers’ Club on Parris Island for the gala. “It turned out to be a huge success,” Gibson said. “We had hoped to raise $10,000 for the hospital, but ended up generating $30,000. That was a lot of money back then.” On the 25th year of the Valentine Ball, Gibson and her husband have stepped up to once again co-chair what has become one of Beaufort’s most anticipated parties. They will share the top post with dentist Dr. Aaron Bliley and his wife, Melissa. The Feb. 8 black tie gala will be held at the new Beaufort Memorial Medical & Administrative Center on Ribaut Road across from the hospital.
Approximately 600 people are expected to attend the 2014 ball. Everyone who buys a ticket by Friday, Jan. 17 will receive an invitation to one of the 50 privately hosted dinner parties taking place throughout Beaufort. “The dinner parties are the key to the ball’s success,” Gibson said. “It’s fun going to a home where you’ve never been, meeting new people and enjoying a nice meal.” After the intimate dinners, guests will make their way to the ball venue for dancing, dessert and a silent auction. Among the many unique items up for bid is a dinner for eight at the South Carolina Yacht Club’s wine cellar. Guests will be transported to the Hilton Head Island club by boat for a five-course meal that will include perfectly paired wines with each course. Proceeds from this year’s ball will be used to expand the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit from eight to 12 beds. To date, the fundraiser has generated nearly $4 million for upgrades to Beaufort Memorial’s facilities, technology and services. Tickets to the Valentine Ball start at $150 per person and include several levels of tickets and sponsorships. Reservations should be made by Jan. 17 in order to attend one of the dinner parties.

Wake up, wake up, wake up, I say ... By Martha O’Regan
Apparently, as a small child, this was how I nudged people in my family to get them to stir, but my mouth couldn’t form the “w” well so it sounded more like “ake up.” Don’t you just love those family stories about experiences that you can’t even recall and haven’t a clue whether they are true or not? Either way, they have landed in the legacy file that we carry with us throughout life only to pull out from time to time, sometimes when we least expect it, like right now as I write about awakening. So, are you awake? If not, what will it take to nudge you? And, if yes, then how awake are you? I believe each one of us goes through many stages of wakefulness in our life experience, often dancing back and forth through those phases based on our perspective of what is happening at that particular time. There are times we feel like we just woke up from a long, hard slumber and it takes a while to get our bearings on where

we are and how we got here. Often, our surroundings don’t feel familiar and we have a difficult time focusing. Maybe we feel a little stiff and sluggish as we begin moving our body in an attempt to get clarity of the moment. As we proceed, we feel like we are still in a dream or, at times, a nightmare and spend the rest of the day wishing we could go back to sleep where we don’t have to think or be what we don’t authentically feel is real. This state of wakefulness can last a day for some or weeks, months, years or decades for others.
The next stage usually begins when something really big happens in our life, like an illness, a tragedy, a job loss, divorce or financial failure, but awakening usually doesn’t happen right away. At first, as we seek help from family, friends, counselors, sermons or books, we will begin getting information on how to deal with our particular problem and through that begin to see a glimmer of hope and trust that life doesn’t have to be so hard and that healing can occur. Then, we begin feeling our own nudges within to learn more, prompting a desire to take action, resulting in an awakening to our personal power to create change in our lives. Maybe we begin by fueling our body with better nutrition or moving our body in ways we never knew we could move or begin hanging around with more joyful people. Whatever the catalyst, there comes a time where we begin to look at that really big thing that happened as a gift that prompted the next phase of our growth and evolution as a
human being and we feel alive again. Once truly awake, we notice that we move through our day with a little more ease and focus, we find we are more grateful for the simple things in life, enjoy learning new things or taking on new activities. We generally feel better than we thought we could just a short time ago. Then, as life will happen, we often find ourselves getting distracted and falling away from those things that helped us to feel better or we just feel “stuck” and have a hard time remembering how good we felt just a short time ago and suddenly we are back in our slumber again as the cycle repeats. But the good news is that it usually won’t take another huge life event to create the wake-up call, but rather the ability to sense and follow the nudges more clearly and quickly to get back on track with what we know helps us to feel better. Life is so much more fun when we are awake, so wake up, wake up, wake up, I say! Live Well ... Have Fun!
Tips by Takiya: Eyebrow enhancement specialist Have you ever truly paid attention to your eyebrows? I mean really taken a long, examining look at these two small, yet important, details of your face. Eyebrows, especially for women, however, as equally influencing for men, can be one of the single most attention grabbing features of your face. Our eyebrows grow in various shapes and colors, as well as different lengths and thickness. Some sparse, some full, some shapely, and some rebellious and unruly. Yet, no matter your category, the great news is that there is an easy quick-fix to obtaining gorgeous, natural looking brows of your own. The primary key to shaping perfect brows is to know them. As a trained brow specialist, I have consulted with a countless number of clients on how to consider your facial shape and its attributes. Is your face round and full, heart shape or angular? Likewise, do your brows have a natural, high arch, a slight curve to them or in some cases, absolutely no arch at all? Knowing and following the natural shape and growth pattern of your brows is the foundation to achieving a great brow every time. In order to achieve a brow shape that compliments your facial structure the use

of a plain Kohl eyeliner pencil and a well-lit bathroom vanity will suffice. Standing in the mirror, take a good look at the present shape of your brows and using your eyeliner pencil, mark a small spot to reflect where they begin, arch and end. Now, holding the eyeliner pencil at a 45 degree angle, line it up with the outer corner of your eye so that it meets the eyebrow. This area, known as the tail, marks where you eyebrow should end. Be sure to mark a spot on this area to see the difference in your original placement. Next, holding the pencil at a 90 degree angle, place it directly in front of your eye near the outer corner of your iris. This marks the appropriate position of the arch, which varies individually. Lastly, still holding the pencil at a 90 degree angle, move it to the inner corner of your eye and place it against the skin to line up with the beginning of the brow, known as the bulb. Taking a step back, observe the previous markings compared to the latter. If your

brows are pretty much within the confines of each other, you have already won half the battle to achieving superb brows. If your markings are too far apart, consider following these cues to achieve a look that works best for you. Now, let’s take a closer look at design and definition. No matter who you are, at some point and time, you have observed, wondered or even desired the look of full, thick and precisely arched eyebrows. Following the proper shape is the next key element to keeping brows neatly groomed and well maintained. Waxing and tweezing are traditional brow grooming services that can be done both at home or in a spa or salon. My choice pick and ultimate suggestion is the fast spreading method of Eyebrow Threading, which is a true art form that involves the simple use of an organic piece of cotton beauty thread. The thread is manipulated to target sections or individual segments of hair that are ultimately pulled directly out of the follicle with minimal to no pain, irritation, redness or swelling. Threading does not pull the skin, thus causes no incorporation of “sagging” and offers a clean, precise and highly defined eyebrow like no other.
Once the brow has been properly designed and shaped, the next step, if needed, consists of fillers, such as brow powders, pencils or tinting. Though pencils tend to lean on the harsher side, resulting in unnatural looking brows, a softer look can be achieved with the correct color match, a soft hand during application and light, swift strokes in the direction of the natural brow. As a suggestion, my recommendation is soft hue brow powders that have the consistency of eye shadow. Brow powders blend so well and fill in sparse brows as well as make non-noticeable blonde or fair hair pop with color. Tinting, simply meaning to dye or color the brows is a semi-permanent approach to brow definition which could last three to six weeks. Be sure to keep a good polisher, such as clear mascara or a brow gel, to complete your brow kit. Brow gels help to set and hold your brows for a fresh, all-day look.

Lowcountry Social Diary goes to Hollywood! By Lanier Laney
Last Friday night, while standing at the bar at Breakwater, The Island News’ Happy Wino Columnist Terry Sweeney got “a call from Hollywood” asking him to guest star in the hit ABC Family sit-com “Baby Daddy” the following week. So Terry and myself were on a plane heading to Los Angeles the next morning at 5 a.m. (Won’t do a flight that early again. Whew!) For those of you who don’t know, Terry is an alumnus of “Saturday Night Live” (he was famous in the 80’s for his imitation of Nancy Reagan) and has guest starred on numerous sit-coms such as “Seinfeld” and “Family Matters” before moving to Beaufort. L.A. is beautiful and sunny this time of year (not as beautiful as Beaufort though!) and we arrived in time to experience the hustle and bustle of limos headed to the Golden Globes, taking place just a few blocks away from where we are staying. Local news here reported that because of the crowds, commodes were stopped up at the Golden Globes and a pipe had broken and sewage was flowing down the red carpet. Apparently, actresses had to hike up their designers gowns to wade through it! They didn’t show you THAT part on TV! Stay tuned for more from Hollywood next week.
Terry on the Studio Lot in Hollywood this week in front of the Sound Stages where they film “Baby Daddy,” “The Exes’” and “The Kirstie Alley Show.”
Happy Hour just got happier at Breakwater Right after Terry got the “You’re going to Hollywood!” call while at Breakwater, owner Donna Lang told me that they are adding several big new Happy Hour Specials starting this week in honor of longtime bartender Terry Guinn’s return from a stint in New York City. House liquor drinks are just $4 from 5 to 7 p.m.! Bubbles and house wine will be at those same low $4 a glass prices! Also, shrimp pot pie and lamb chops are back on the menu. And for Happy Hour they are now offering a special tapas pasta and delish flatbread pizza that will change weekly based on local ingredients in season and chef ’s inspiration. BTW ... I’ve heard the pickled fried Brussel sprouts have been a huge hit. Yum! Here are some pics from Breakwater this past weekend for you. Terry Guinn is pictured below between Pat Dudley and Kimberly Smith. Amber and Jared are also great bartenders there too!

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
leigh ann pingree, owner of ‘the kitchen’
cooks with love By Lanier Laney
When Virginia native Leigh Ann Pingree was growing up, she had no idea that being the oldest of nine children would be the perfect training for her present occupation as founder and chef of The Kitchen, a take-out dinner place for families. Says Leigh Ann, “My father, Col. Andrew Bauer, was in the Marine Corps and away from home a lot. Our mother, Claire Bauer, was a stay-at-home mom and raised nine children mostly on her own. We grew up with family dinners every night and I learned to cook with my mother — and also learned to cook for large groups because of our large family gatherings.” At The Kitchen, which is located in Newpoint off Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island where Berry Island once operated, Leigh Ann and her younger sister Michelle Clark provide familystyle dinners for take out. They email a different menu each week with different entree options such as chicken parmesan, lasagna, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, shrimp and grits, chicken piccata, herb encrusted pork loin with roasted onions and coconut rice. Each entree comes in two sizes — small, which typically feeds two to three people, and large, which typically feeds four to five people. They also usually offer a soup and a salad. The meals are available for pickup on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 2 and 5 p.m. They also do special orders and catering. Leigh Ann moved with her large family to Beaufort in 1982 as a young teenager and met her future husband, Richard Pingree, five years later. “Richard and I have known each other for 25 years — we were friends for 10 years before we began dating,” Leigh Ann said. “We have been married for 13 years and have three wonderful children —

Ansleigh, 11, Ledare, 9, and Sumner, 6 — all whom attend Beaufort Academy.” Her husband, Richard, is a wellrespected developer and contractor and owner of Coastal Home Construction. Leigh Ann said she loves working with her sister Michelle Clark, who is number seven out of the nine siblings. “I asked her to join me in this new venture because we are very close and do everything together, I truly value her contribution — she is a huge asset and I could not do it without her!” Michelle is married to Pete Clark, who works for The Farm Bureau Insurance Agency. They have three children — Andrew, 28, Brittany, 25, and Erin, 23 — who make their parents proud. When Leigh Ann first moved to Beaufort as a teen after living in cities New Orleans and San Diego, it took some getting used to small town life. “When we first moved here, I couldn’t
the island news | january 16-22, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com
wait to move to a big city. After high school, I left Beaufort and moved to Columbia to attend USC. Then I couldn’t wait to get back to Beaufort. I guess I didn’t last long in the big city,” said Leigh Ann with a laugh. She loves the beauty of the area and the great people here, and thinks it’s a perfect place to raise children. In fact, raising children led to her opening The Kitchen. Leigh Ann explains, “When I was thinking about going back to work, now that my three children are in school full time, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do — what did I enjoy doing? I love cooking and thought I could provide busy families a home-cooked dinner option instead of the typical restaurant take-out.” She adds, “I knew going back to work would leave me with the dilemma that many other busy parents face: How to
somehow fit preparing dinner into a busy (crazy) schedule. So I thought I could try to give them a healthy, good tasting option and an alternative to fast food or take-out.” She opened The Kitchen in April 2013, and it’s been a hit since day one. As far as outside interests, Leigh Ann says she grew up on a tennis court and loves the sport — the whole family plays. But these days, with the success of The Kitchen, which has gotten rave reviews from busy moms and dads, she has had less time for the game. It doesn’t bother her though because she is doing what she loves. Says Leigh Ann, “I love to cook and I love to feed people and, ultimately, I think that love is carried out through my food.” As for the future of her business, Leigh Ann said, “Right now we just try to offer great ‘comfort dinners’ for take out, but eventually may offer lunch items as well. We might offer either more dinner items or more variety in sizes, maybe individual sizes, it just depends on what people want.” She adds, “We also like to do healthy juices. We offer a basic juice of kale, spinach, carrots, cucumbers, celery, ginger, green apple and lemon — sometimes beets if we have them — and I would love to see more people stop in for that. It’s so good for you!”
what’s cookin’ at the kitchen The Kitchen is located at Newpoint Corners on Lady’s Island. You can purchase items Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 2 and 5 p.m. Next month they will start to open on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 843-252-8063 or email beaufortkitchen@gmail.com.

The Lending Room makes a difference Making a difference in our community is what The Lending Room is all about. As an all-volunteer organization dedicated to accepting and distributing gently used medical equipment, the mission is simple. Anyone in need of rehabilitative equipment for long or short-term needs can call and receive it regardless of income or insurance. The Lending Room has long roots in Beaufort, first established in 1961 as a way to obtain equipment easily since there was only one drug store, Luther’s, in town and insurance delays were often prohibitive of immediate rehab equipment needs. As it celebrates a new nonprofit status, The Lending Room has many to thank for support. First and foremost, Natalie Haskell for her vision in 1961 and Becky Trask for her loving devotion for 40 years. Although the organization is all volunteer,
there have been countless behind the scenes individuals along the way who have played a vital part of it becoming a nonprofit and the growth that has taken place in the past years. William Harvey and Eugene Parrs of Harvey and Battey Law Firm were instrumental in helping to secure the nonprofit status. Without them, The Lending Room would be unable to apply for funding to continue the mission of reaching out to the community. Dick Stewart’s support in providing storage space for The Lending Room is crucial for the volume of equipment received. The Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina and Beaufort County Human Services Alliance offered financial support so operational expenses can be met and The Lending Room can continue to build awareness in the community by

Discover and embrace your purpose in 2014 By Martha Cooper-Hudson
All of us are faced with impossible situations from time to time throughout our lives. But the incredible thing is that within the word “impossible” two other words can be found: “possible” and “I’m possible.” The Bible states that “All things are possible for them that Believe.” So during the holiday season I took some well-deserved time off to mediate and seek guidance for what direction He wanted me to go in for 2014 in order for me to walk in my passion and purpose on this earth. The dreams, the pictures, and the words He spoke to me would seem impossible through the natural eyes, but when you start to trust Him with all thy heart and lean not on your own understanding and in all ways acknowledge Him, he will direct your path. A wise man once said, “People with purpose are powerhouses with possibilities.” We are each unique beings in every way. We all possess distinctive fingerprints, irises, and voice patterns, and we have an original combination of personality traits, feelings and thoughts. We all see life through the lens of our own unique experiences, beliefs and perspectives. When we embrace our individuality, our gifts and talents become energized. Our authentic self has permission to shine through. When we conform in order to fit in, be accepted, and avoid rejection, we shut down and give our power away. As we learn to practice selfacceptance and honor our differences, we feel safe to be our true self. We all wish to be seen for who we actually are. In order for this to happen, we must first take the time to know, honor, accept and celebrate what makes us different from others. When someone
10
recognizes and acknowledges our true essence, we feel seen and known on a deeper level. If you don’t embrace your uniqueness, you can Martha spend your entire life CooperHudson striving to conform and comparing yourselves to others. By celebrating what makes you different rather than wasting time trying to be like others, you will discover your unique and special gifts. This discovery will lead you to Living Your Truth. Therefore, I ask each of you to take the time to discover the masterpiece within you and embrace the differences so that you may live life on purpose as you inspire someone else.

establishing a website, printing fees and other PR related costs. Steve Curless, president of HELP of Beaufort has partnered with The Lending Room by allowing our volunteers to “set up shop” during HELP hours since The Lending Room does not have a store front. People in need of equipment can stop in to pick it up at the HELP location at 1910 Baggett Street. Likewise, Rose Ewing from Helena House in Port Royal allows individuals to stop in and pick up or drop off equipment at the facility with prior notice. It’s humbling to realize how many individuals and organizations have been so generous of their time, talents and financial commitment to help encourage the continued growth of such a valuable service. The Lending Room has many dedicated volunteers willing to give of their time to
“man a shift,” fix equipment or do pick up and deliveries of larger items, but there is still a need for more. Area churches help to publicize our mission and continued need for volunteers as well as other agencies and civic organizations. We wish thank the many individuals who have donated equipment as well. Without their generosity we would be unable to meet the needs of others. Even Beaufort County convenience center employees keep their eyes out for people disposing of equipment and rescue it for The Lending Room. It is the goal of The Lending Room that the more others hear of these services for those in need of medical equipment, the more donations will be received and the more people can be assisted. For more information or for equipment inquiries, call 843-524-2554 or e-mail at lendingroom@yahoo.com.
letter to the editor Questioning County Council increasing fund reserves
Washington’s big spenders are joined by Beaufort County Council and the county administrator. Not satisfied with the monumental property tax increases voted in 2013, they are hunting new ways to tax and spend. County Administrator Gary Kubic requested council to identify new spending so to ask voters for a sales tax increase to follow the five-year one just completed for roads. That project was overspent by $52 million early last year and is far from finished. A December 9 Freedom of Information request for an update on the road spending is slow coming. By comparison, the school district has up-todate construction spending reported on its website. County Council is considering increasing general fund reserves from 25 percent of expenditures to nearly 42 percent for disasters. However, Kubic states it could be dipped into for providing incentives to bring business here. Disaster? Sounds like a slush fund. Stu Rodman, chairman of the County Council Finance Committee, stated the school district needed only a 10 percent reserve. Councilman Jerry Stewart claims the county has more risk in a disaster because of roads. The state and towns are responsible for most of the roads. The schools have nearly 40 buildings plus entrance roads and other facilities — arguably more exposure than county. The financial expert used by the county and school district has often stated that reserves should be at least 15 percent to maintain the current excellent bond ratings. So why 42 percent? Additional funds would come from taxes or spending reductions — like library hours. The current 25 percent sounds reasonable.

What was once Carolina Wings in Port Royal has now been transformed into The Carolina Tavern.

the indie film corner: ‘the great beauty’ The film “The Great Beauty,” directed by Paolo Sorrentino will be shown at USCB Center For the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, on Monday, January 20 at 7 p.m. This Italian film with English subtitles is about journalist Jep Gambardella (played by Toni Servillo) who has been a fixture in Rome’s literary and social
circles since the legendary success of his one and only novel. Armed with a roguish charm, he has seduced his way through the city’s lavish night life for decades, but when his 65th birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his
contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties and cafes to find Rome in all its glory: A timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Frampton Plantation has Civil War reenactment Confederate and Federal forces will clash once again when the Battle of Pocotaligo Civil War Reenactment returns to Frampton Plantation on January 25-26. Taking place on the actual 1862 battle site in Point South, this second annual living history event is hosted by the Sons of Confederate Veterans Colonel Charles Jones Colcock Camp #2100, the South Carolina Palmetto Battalion and the Lowcountry & Resort Islands Tourism Commission. In addition to the afternoon battles, visitors are welcome to explore a Civil War encampment complete with Sutler Row and period demonstrations, as well as tour a lifesize replica of the CSS H.L. Hunley, the first submarine in history to successfully sink an enemy warship. On October 21, 1862, a Union Force of 4,200 men under the command of General John M. Brannan sailed up the Broad River from Hilton Head Island and Beaufort and then marched on the village of Pocotaligo. Warned by Confederate pickets of this attempt to destroy the Charleston to Savannah Railroad and hinder a major supply line, Colonel W.S. Walker of Georgia
telegraphed General Beauregard in Charleston. “I am holding & intend to hold my position at Old Pocotaligo,” read his urgent telegram. “Hurry up the reinforcements for Gods sake.” Thanks in large part to a series of earthwork trenches General Robert E. Lee had ordered dug throughout the Lowcountry, a Confederate force of fewer than 450 men, including eight Confederate artillery pieces, two cavalry companies, three companies of the 11th South Carolina Volunteers and the First South Carolina Sharpshooters, managed to stall the Federal advance. Gates open at 9 a.m. with battle reenactments at 2 p.m. Daily tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children; and free for ages 8 and under. Admission into the Frampton Plantation House/Visitor Center & Gift Shop and the Hunley Traveling Exhibit are free.

Ron Hines, 65, died Monday, December 30, 2013 at his residence in Beaufort, SC. An informal service will be held Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014, at 1 p.m. at The Sands Beach in Port Royal, S.C. Born January 5, 1948, Ron loved Elvis, car racing, photography and talking with people in the community. He worked as the delivery person for The Island News for six years. He is survived by his daughter Lesley Whitman of Dudley, N.C.; granddaughter Lindsay Whitman of Dudley, N.C.; two sisters, Gwen Bronson of Lexington, NC, and Marie Howard of Rose Hill, N.C.; and two brothers: Mike Howard of Rose Hill, N.C., and Terry Hines of Auburndale, Fla.
William Swinehart I
William Keith Swinehart I was born on October 19, 1916, on a farm in Norwich, Kansas. His father, Eugene, and his mother, Leatha, started a dairy business in Wichita, Kansas. Unfortunately, in 1926, the business failed and the family suddenly had nothing. Moves were made to Pittsburg, Kansas, and ElDorado, Kansas, where Keith became a Boy Scout. To earn money for his scout uniform, Keith got his first job selling magazines. From that time on, realizing that he could earn his own money, he turned his dad’s bankruptcy into a lifelong gift. His sense of entrepreneurship came out.
Keith’s life was greatly influenced by the Great Depression. He had to earn his way through school through his own devices. He sold sandwiches from his Sigma Chi fraternity room. He worked for the KU News Bureau as a news assistant. After graduating from Kansas University, when jobs weren’t readily available he worked as a mail boy for Cook’s Paint in Kansas City for $50 per month. In 1939 he found a good job with Capper Publications in Topeka, Kansas through his KU school connections. He married his wife of 62 years, Maxine, in June of 1940. He entered WWII as a pilot in 1941. He made 102 crossings of the Atlantic: Miami to Natal, Brazil; across to Africa; over “The Hump” to Karachi, India and back to Miami. He considered himself a “glorified truck driver,” but with lots of time to learn and think about life after war. He came home from the war in October 1945. After the war he resumed his work in Topeka with Cappers and talked them into an airplane for his client travels. While doing that, his entrepreneurial itch prompted him to continually ask his contacts about how and where he could start his own business. Through a friend in Kansas City he located a small LP Gas business in McPherson, Kansas. The little company, Western States Gas, proved not to be the company of his dreams. He envisioned his two truck drivers as salesmen for the company, but they just wanted to be “truck drivers.”

www.genegrace.com Headaches Due to Bite?
“Headache is one of the most common reasons for physician visits by patients. One study tracked 953 headache patients for five years. They made nearly 4,000 visits to doctors in seeking relief from headache. Though physicians have identified and classified muscle tension headache, the medical literature is virtually absent of any treatment other than drugs or psychological therapy. These patients went to every conceivable medical specialty but only 8% of those visits were to dentists. Every dentist who has treated patients knows that the bite can cause multiple health problems termed, TMJ syndrome or dysfunction.” (Mytronics: Vol 23, Nov. 07) My daughter and partner Katherine Hefner and I have treated hundreds of patients with great success eliminating such problems as temporal (side of head) headaches, headaches at the base of the skull, neck ache, jaw pain, shoulder pain and ringing of the ears. 16

His friend from the McPherson Country Club, Les Beard, asked Keith to invest in a small plastics extrusion business, Consolidated Plastics. They brought the business to McPherson in 1958. They funded construction of the manufacturing facility with Industrial Revenue Bonds, and were the first company in Kansas to use IRBs. By then, Keith and Les were 80 percent stockholders of the company. The name of the company was changed to Plains Plastics. They added PVC plastic pipe to their product line for rural water pipe and real growth started to happen. CertainTeed Products bought Plains Plastics in 1965 and Keith became a Vice President of the Plastic Pipe division of Certain Teed. PVC siding was replacing aluminum siding and having both PVC pipe and PVC plastic siding proved to be a huge boon to the company growth and development. The new plastic pipe company grew to six locations across the U.S. and became a leader in the PVC extrusion industry. Keith left Certain Teed in December of 1976 to start a venture to make a new, flexible plastic pipe called polybutylene that could withstand exposure to hot water. The target market for the new product would be the U.S. residential plumbing as a replacement for copper plumbing distribution tubing. A new building was constructed overlooking the Certain Teed manufacturing plant, once again using the now-familiar IRBs. The company grew rapidly and was featured by Inc. Magazine as one of the Fastest Growing Small Companies in the United States. His son, Keith II, his daughter, Dinah, and many great local people became part of his business. By now, Keith and Maxine had moved their residence on Hilton Head Island, S.C., overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Success and growth by the company continued to occur without his McPherson presence. The Vanguard company had many ups and downs, new product lines, and raw material changes over the 29 years of business in the U.S. and international markets. Despite the many changes, interruptions and development problems, the business was thriving. In the 1990s Keith had a successful major heart bypass. Maxine, his wife of 61 years, died of complications from a stroke in 2002. Although his wife was gone and his mobility was slowing, Keith remained happy and active. He lived alone in his beach home and still drove himself around Hilton Head. Vanguard Piping Systems (as the company was now called) was highly successful in its efforts to market flexible plastic piping products across all of the United States and Canada and feed the booming residential construction market. Finally, in October 2005
Vanguard was purchased by Viega, GMB, a 130-year-old maker of plumbing products from Attendorf, Germany, and a 450,000 square foot facility was built in McPherson’s Industrial Park alongside Interstate I-135 for $40 million. Keith didn’t really want to sell Vanguard at the time. He wanted to see the company continue to grow although, ironically, in 1965 he couldn’t wait to sell Plains Plastics to the bigger Certain Teed so he could see his company grow. It didn’t take him very long to realize that he could enjoy the transition to another life of retirement at his Hilton Head home and enjoy his family and friends. Keith continued to live alone at his home on the beach. He and a long time friend, Margaret, liked to go out on the island every Wednesday and Friday night for dinner and cocktails, and have brunch on Sunday. They even took a trip together to Europe, and wheeled through the international airports in their wheelchairs. Keith enjoyed life to the fullest, even remarking to his son during a visit in November 2013, that he had never been happier. Unfortunately, things must end if things are to keep growing. December 18, 2013, on his accustomed Wednesday night outing with Margaret, Keith’s life abruptly, but quietly, ended while walking in front of the Art Center of Coastal Carolina to see a play. Keith saw a lot of growth in his 97 years, and, through his entrepreneurial endeavors and business acumen, made a lot of growth happen. He never really knew pain. He always looked on the optimistic side. He never feared failure, and never allowed it to happen. He let those people around him grow, and encouraged that. He was a mentor to many. Keith led a charmed life, and lived it well. He is loved by all those who knew him. Keith is survived by his children, W. Keith Swinehart II and Dinah S. Brock; two grandchildren, Andrea and Summer Swinehart; and his special friend, Margaret Gough. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 21 at 11 a.m. at The Island Funeral Home and Crematory, 4 Cardinal Road, Hilton Head Island. Burial followed at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Beaufort. Donations may be made to The Deep Well Project, P.O. Box 5543, Hilton Head Island, SC, 29938.

Quoth the raven ‘Nevermore’ The label on this week’s wine features part of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem By Celia Strong
Edgar Allan Poe comes with our wine this week, there was no avoiding it. Sometimes, you see a bottle and you just know you have to try it and you just know you’ll like it. All you have is the label and the name, but, sometimes, something grabs you and there will never be a single objective idea about it. Not the best wine you ever tasted? Doesn’t matter. Not your favorite grape variety? Doesn’t matter. Not your favorite price range? Doesn’t matter. You’re going to like that wine. Period. And no one is totally immune to this phenomenon. So, let’s learn more about the origins and background of this wine. Maybe, even lacking any objectivity, it will be phenomenal. How lucky can we get? Evermore? We are in Washington state, the Columbia Valley specifically. The first grapes were planted here in 1825, near Fort Vancouver. But, apparently, there is no hard evidence that any wine was ever made from these vines. The wine industry in Washington started, for real, in the Walla Walla Valley when Italian immigrants planted Cinsault grapes in the 1860s and 1870s. In the 1950s and 1960s, what have become the state’s biggest wineries — Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia Winery — were established. In the decades between then and now, every 10 years or so, a new varietal found success in the state — Riesling and Chardonnays in the 1970s, Merlot in the 1980s, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in the 1990s. Washington was one of the very first states to start Prohibition. It went “dry” in 1917. (Really?) Most of the state’s wineries and grape growers went out of business. Luckily, not nevermore. It wasn’t until the second half of the 20th century that the industry really came back, though. There are now more than 740 wineries in Washington, most of them in the eastern part, with total production second only to California. There are currently 12 legally established AVAs in the state.
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
The winery highlighted is The Owen Roe Winery in Walla Walla, Washington. The Lenore Syrah wine, from the winery’s value label Corvidae, is made with fruit from the Columbia Valley AVA. We should probably look at the Columbia Valley AVA. It was declared in 1984 and covers more than one-third of the state. (Really, it even crosses over into Oregon!) Mainly, though, because our wine this week is made here. There are several other AVAs located within this larger one. Many of the vineyards here are situated on semi-arid plateaus at altitudes of 1,000 to 2,000 feet above sea level. The climate is continental, but there are a range of microclimates also. There are an average of more than 300 cloudless days each year and an average of over 15 inches of rain each year. Moving on, our grape variety for this week is Syrah. We must remember that this grape is also known, in some parts of the wine world, as Shiraz. Wines made from this grape are basically labeled as “Syrah” when the are more French and European style, and “Shiraz” when they are the New World, more Australian style. The history of Syrah has been debated for a long time. But, DNA tests prove it is the offspring of Dureza (Dad)
“Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service.”
The Lenore Syrah is from the Owen Roe Winery in Walla Walla, Washington state.
and Mondeuse blanche (Mom). Neither Dad nor Mom ever did as much as their much better known son. (Please note, I can only guess that a red grape is a son.) Nor did they manage to travel far from home or survive and succeed like Syrah. In 2004, due in part to the explosion of Australian red wines (at a huge variety of price levels and quality levels), Syrah was the fourth most planted variety in the world. Personally, I used to like the stories about Syrah originating in Syracuse, Italy, or in a town in Iran (formerly Persia) named Shiraz. But, nevermore. No factual data to support those fairy tales. Syrah grapes usually make dry red wines. In fact, these wines generally fall into four categories: • First, varietal wines, like Hermitage from the northern Rhône Valley in France, or Australian Shiraz. • Second, Syrah can be blended with a small amount of Viognier, like in Côte Rotie in the northern Rhône. • Third, it is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, like in Australia, and then it is labeled Shiraz-Cab. • And, fourth, Syrah can be used as one of several varieties in a blend such as with Grenache and Mourvedre, and others, to make Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines in the southern Rhône and also
in Australia. (Ever here of a “GSM” wine from down under? It stands for Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre varieties of grape.) Syrah wines are often full-bodied with powerful flavors. Depending on the soil and climate they are grown in, and specific wine making techniques, aromas in these wines can range from violets to dark berries, chocolate, espresso and black pepper. There is not one or two aromas, or flavors for that matter, that show up in all Syrah wines, but many get blackberry and black pepper. Underneath the primary aromas and flavors, there are earthy and savory notes that include leather, truffles and, sometimes, smoked bacon or other meats. It is one of my all-time favorite varieties because of these layers and unique aromas and flavors. Evermore! Finally, the winery we are highlighting this week is The Owen Roe Winery in Walla Walla, Washington, and their value label Corvidae. The Lenore Syrah is from this value label, made with fruit from the Columbia Valley AVA. On this wine’s label, part of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “The Raven” is quoted: “For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, nameless here forevermore.” The Lenore Syrah is made from 95 percent Syrah and 5 percent Grenache. This wine is spicy with tremendous black fruit flavors in a deep purple pool of color. The texture is rich and smooth, and moderately full. It is good when you first pour it and good when you sip your way through the bottle. This is a wine made for everyday enjoying and pairs well with hearty food such as burgers, ribs and stews. Where does the name “Corvidae” come from? It is the name of the family of birds that includes crows and ravens. It seems that not only do crows and ravens have a long history in mythology and poems, but a lot of crows tend to circle over the Owen Roe Winery. Hmmm ... Quoth the raven, nevermore? No. One look at this bottle and, of course, we have to like the wine. Evermore. For $14.99. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Let’s talk dirty
By Tracie Korol
In 2010, the problem of dog excrement was one of America’s biggest gripes, according to a survey by Consumer Reports. Despite posted signs, HOA regulations and looks of disapproval from passersby, some dog owners just don’t clean up after their pets. Really, people, this is a key part of the “I want a dog” deal. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, pet waste has been identified as a major cause of “non-point source pollution” (NPS). In just one example cited by the EPA,“for watersheds of up to 20 square miles draining to small coastal bays, two to three days of droppings from a population of about 100 dogs ... contribute enough bacteria and nutrients to temporarily close a bay to swimming and shellfishing.” Given that we ARE that watershed, this is a fact to consider. According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA), there are 74.8 million dogs in the U.S. As the dog count rises, more dog owners are looking for a simple solution to an unavoidable problem: the average dog leaves approximately 23 piles of poop a week. This amount of waste can seriously damage our ecosystem if not disposed of in a mindful fashion. Canine waste also contains lots of nasty bacteria with almost unpronounceable names: fecal streptococcus and fecal coliforms are just two examples. In sufficiently high

For example, E. coli bacteria often causes gastrointestinal infections, as well as infections to the ear, eye, and throat. Another bacteria, campylobacter, can cause diarrhea in humans. Still another form of poop-loving bacteria, salmonella, can cause infections that trigger fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea. What can you do? From the nobrainer category, what you do is carry a bag, pick up the deposit and dispose of it properly like a considerate human being. The quickest, easiest way to get rid of a dog’s poop is to put it in a plastic bag and either drop the bag in a trash can or

flush the bag’s contents down a toilet. You do not have to purchase fancy designer bags that attach to your leash. Simply re-use and recycle the hundreds of bags that come into your household every month: the newspaper bags, the free produce bags from the grocery store, the plastic bag from the frozen vegetables, the liner bag from the cereal
box, the empty Dorito bag, magazine wrappers, or anything else you can get your hand into, turn and fold over. Keep a box of all these various sacks near wherever you keep your leash. After you have a large enough bag, it’s easy to gather up the poop. For the uninitiated, here’s how: 1. Pull the plastic bag over one hand like a glove. If you’re cleaning up while walking your dog, loop the leash around your wrist and pull the bag over the leashed hand. 2. Pick up the poop with your bagged hand. 3. With your other hand, grasp the open end of the bag and pull the bag inside out. The poop will now be inside the bag, all tidy and hygienic. 4. Knot the bag and drop it into the nearest trash can. Alternatively, take the bag inside and flush the contents down the toilet. Throw the plastic bag in the trash. Of course, if there’s no trash can nearby, you’ll need to carry the bagged poop until you find a suitable receptacle. But take heart. Soon, not even the thought of having to tote a turd around town will gross you out. It’ll just be another fact of life.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail.
