s we say goodbye to 2014 and hello to a new year, many of us resolve to make our lives better. Whether we choose to be physically healthier, mentally stronger or more spiritually guided, we make promises to ourselves to strengthen our selfproclaimed weaknesses. January is usually a very positive month for our egos. Then, for various reasons, our well intended
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.”

Fires continue to plague Gray’s Hill Burton firefighters extinguished another fire late this morning in what Burton fire officials are describing as a string of destruction and close calls in the Gray’s Hill community. Burton fire crews responded to the report of a house fire just after 10 a.m. this morning on Sunburst Lane in the Gray’s Hill area. Firefighters arrived and found a camper being used as a residence fully involved in flames and threatening nearby homes. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire before other structures were damaged; however the camper, the home for an elderly man, was a total loss. No injuries were reported. The resident stated he was sleeping and woke to find his bed on fire and was able to escape just in time. There were no smoke detectors in the camper. The fire is still under investigation. This is the fourth fire in just over
Beaufort Co. is Work Ready Beaufort County is now a Work Ready Community. That’s according to the SC Department of Employment and Workforce. During a ceremony at the State House, a total of eighteen counties were recognized for achieving certification through the South Carolina Work Ready Communities initiative. In order to become a Work Ready Community, each county must reach or exceed goals in the following: National Career Readiness Certificates which is a skill-based certificate assisting individuals in obtaining employment, graduation rates of 73.1% on a three-year county average, soft-skills that provides insight into personal characteristics directly related to on-the-job success and business support of local companies officially supporting the county’s initiative. “Reaching this level of certification shows that here in Beaufort County, we are taking the appropriate steps towards economic growth and more importantly we are educating our youth who will soon be the future of this county,” said Beaufort County Chairman Paul Sommerville.

Burton firefighters respond to the fourth fire in Gray’s Hill in less than a month that have destroyed three homes and left one person critically injured.
a month that has left three homes destroyed and one resident critically injured after leaping from a window to escape the flames. Firefighters fear the next fire may have a more tragic ending. “The one thing in common is all these fires could have been prevented,” stated Burton Fire Lieutenant Tradd Mills who is based out of the Gray’s Hill fire station.
“We are asking for the public’s help to help get this under control. We are asking community groups, churches, even individual families to invite firefighters to meet with them to make sure they are safe and have what they need.” Organizations wishing to invite Burton firefighters to their event please call 521-5550.

Good news, bad news…What do you choose? By Susan Stone
There is a Universal Law which states: what you put your attention on expands. Universal laws are not taught in school like the laws of physics, but we are bound to them anyway. It doesn’t matter if you believe in gravity; you are bound to its effects all the same. Exposing ourselves to a daily dose of bad news is having a detrimental effect on Susan our society and on Stone our health. When we watch news stories that disturb us, whether it is a story of local violence or world climate disasters, or money markets dipping, it changes the bio-chemistry of our brains. ‘Bad news’ corrodes the human spirit and eventually makes us ill. News agencies and the media at large believe that ‘bad news’ sells. So they neglect to inform the public about ALL the news…the good part. They are strangely silent about what we are doing right. Oh, they may take the last 30 seconds of a broadcast to feature a nice little lost kitten found story, so they can boast about the crumb of good they’ve given their audience. But we must admit the scale is heavily weighted on the side of disaster and trauma. And

This morning I Googled “good news” and found 46 pages of websites. The first one I came to is called the Good News Network (GNN). The stories were many and the videos, heartwarming. The most interesting one I will share with you now. Out of curiosity, a man with a camera crew gave a homeless man $100 to see how he would spend it. Secretly they followed him to the liquor store. This did not surprise them; in fact, they expected him to go there. But much to their surprise, he came out of the store with huge bulging bags. Without being noticed they followed him to a park where he gave out food to other homeless people. At this point the man with the camera crew approached the
What reality is expanding before you? There are over 7 billion realities to choose from. Will you put your attention on what we are doing wrong? Or will you choose to put your attention on what we are doing right? homeless man again and asked if he knew these people. He did not and explained that people become homeless for a variety of reasons. For himself he explained that he had given up his job to take care of his sick father. A few months after his father died, his mother also passed. The medical bills were catastrophic, he had used the last of his money to bury his parents and their family home was lost. He had been homeless for about four months at this point. His compassion for his fellow homeless touched the crew so much that they gave him another $100. Other headlines in the news over the holidays; Boston Teacher donates $150,000 prize to her school. Parents buy crossing guard a new car. High School teens donate $1200 to Toys for Tots. Buddy Harrison, owner of Old School Boxing, delivers hot meals, water and money to the homeless in Washington DC. Six year old

Will you put your attention on what we are doing wrong? Or will you choose to put your attention on what we are doing right? Whichever you choose will expand before your eyes.

Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.
Your Invitation to the Ball It’s the most anticipated invitation of the year—the annual Valentine Ball, the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s major fundraiser. In order to get those invitations out in a timely manner for the February 7 black tie gala, 26 dedicated volunteers took the day off from Christmas shopping and holiday planning in order to hand address over a thousand envelopes at the home of co-chair, Ryan Christian. Tickets to the Valentine Ball start at $150 per person and may be purchased online by visiting www.valentineball.org or by calling (843) 522-5774. In order to be included on the guest list for one of the 50 private dinner parties that serve as the warm-up for the main event, be sure to RSVP by January 15.
The fundraiser will begin with the dinner parties, followed at 9 p.m. by the gala to be held at the Beaufort Memorial Medical & Administrative Center (BMAC) on Ribaut Road across from the main hospital campus. At the ball, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy decadent desserts and coffee, dance to live music and participate in a silent auction. Proceeds from the 2015 event will help pay for the expansion of the Intensive Care Unit from eight to twelve beds. Other improvements will include state-of-theart cardiac and invasive monitors, lift equipment, special ICU beds and thoughtfully designed family consultation and waiting rooms.

Let Christmas trees benefit fish and wildlife Instead of letting your Christmas tree take up space in a landfill this year, state natural resources officials suggest giving it a second life by putting it to good use for fish or wildlife. In rural areas, discarded Christmas trees can be put to good use as erosion control or as brush piles to provide resting and escape cover for small animals. In addition to benefiting small game such as quail and rabbits, brush piles constructed of Christmas trees can help birds such as sparrows, towhees and wrens. “We’re getting to the time of year when the leaves have dropped and the landscape is more open. However, cover is still a vital part of a healthy wildlife habitat,” said Tammy Wactor, wildlife biologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) based in Clemson. “Although the
needles of old Christmas trees will brown and fall off in two or three months, if you get enough trees piled up they will make pretty good cover.” Brush piles are usually mound or teepee shaped, Wactor said, with the largest material forming the base and layers of small limbs and branches added as filler. The base should consist of sturdy trunks or limbs to allow adequate escape entrances at ground level. Fisheries biologists with the DNR Freshwater Fisheries Section use discarded Christmas trees to maintain many fish attractor sites, which are clearly marked by buoys, at all major reservoirs in South Carolina. Once on the lake bottom, Christmas trees and other suitable materials provide a surface where aquatic insects live and grow. These insects in turn attract small fish that
are fed upon by larger fish. Please do not toss discarded trees on state fish attraction areas. Some DNR regions collect the trees from municipalities, so that they may “pick and choose” the best trees for their needs, rather than have the public deliver them to a DNR facility. Deliver the tree to designated areas, and state natural resources personnel will replenish sites as needed. Another alternative is grinding up your tree to use as mulch. Some cities and counties offer tree grinding at no charge after the holidays. Those who choose to take their mulch home can use it for flowerbeds, gardens or around trees and shrubs. To learn about a tree grinding program in your county, contact your local Clemson Extension office-locations and phone numbers are at: http://www.clemson.edu/ extension/county/index.html.
Perhaps the best kind of recycling is to buy a live tree and replant it, and then the tree can provide evergreen cover for wildlife year-round. Consumers should keep in mind, however, that many kinds of popular Christmas trees will not survive the hot and humid South Carolina summers. Among the species that will likely live and prosper here are: Virginia pine, Scotch pine, sand pine, spruce pine, Eastern red cedar, white cedar, Leyland cypress and white pine, which does best in the mountains and upper Piedmont. Two varieties of Arizona smooth cypress developed in South Carolina, Clemson Greenspire and Carolina Sapphire, will also grow well in our climate. Tree species that may not survive here, except in our foothills and mountains, include hemlock, Colorado blue spruce, Douglas fir, Fraser fir and balsam fir.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
By Lanier Laney The editors of National Geographic Traveler magazine have lauded Penn Center and Beaufort’s Gullah culture with a spotlight on the Rhett House Inn as one of the ‘ Top 20 Best Trips’ in the world to make in 2015. The Rhett House Inn’s Gullah chef Beverly Mayo’s breakfast is detailed in the article online. Chef Beverly says writers of the magazine found her through rave reviews on TripAdvisor. “I was shocked and thrilled. It’s an honor to be in there because that’s a nationwide magazine, and a lot of people read that magazine,” Mayo said. Mayo is well known for her Southern breakfast and famous grits, for which preparation begins the night before. “ To us, food is love…you put your love, heart, and soul in it, and that’s what makes the difference; the ingredients follow,” says Chef Beverly who grew up in the local Gullah tradition cooking with her mother and grandmother in Sheldon. She remembers her grandmother making sweet grass baskets by the stove while also turning bread or churning butter. “At Christmas, we would all cook and give each other presents of beautifully presented food and Christmas cookies,”she adds. About working at the Rhett House,
The Rhett House Inn’s Chef Beverly Mayo with her famous sweet potato pancakes.
Chef Beverly says, “ The Rhett House has a wonderful spirit, and our guests are our first priority. That’s why I love it so.”
She’s had guests from all over the world tell her ‘they’ve never tasted grits like hers before.’ Her secret? She uses chicken stock instead of plain
water with cream and butter and adds Gullah seasoning at the very end. The recipe is online at www.rhetthouseinn. com. For Christmas this year she made cinnamon pancakes in addition to her renowned sweet potato recipe. The complimentary breakfast comes with a nightly stay at the Inn. The historic Rhett House Inn, built in 1820 is celebrating its 150th anniversary as an Inn in 2015 and has been a AAA Four Diamond Inn for the past 19 years. Rhett House Inn owners Marianne and Steve Harrison are justly proud of Chef Beverly and the Inn being singled out by a national magazine online. “I am so glad that National Geographic Traveler recognized the wonderful African-American Gullah history and its rich ongoing culture we have in this area; it’s what makes it so special and unique to live and visit here. I also thank them for their kind words about The Rhett House Inn and Chef Beverly’s breakfast. Our staff works very hard to give all our guests the best Southern Hospitality experience possible,” says Marianne. For more information, please call The Rhett House Inn at 5249030 or visit 1009 Craven St. in the historic district.

Baby Boomers and a lost language By Lee Scott
As a member of the Baby Boomers, I am part of the first generation brought up in front of a television set. Consequently, my vocabulary and other forms of communications include dialogue from old sitcoms. I am not particularly proud of this habit, and most of the time, I am not even aware that I am doing it. But the dialogue just slips out…like my response to ‘What time is it?’ ‘It’s Howdy Doody time!’ That show has been off the air for over fifty years. A friend of mine from England looked at me with a blank stare when I inadvertently mention ‘VitaVita Vegemen’ when she was preparing a Blended drink for us. “Now what ancient show are you quoting?” she asks. I love Lucy, I respond. I must admit that it is nice to be around other people who understand 8

the old references. My husband and I went to a cocktail party recently and were introduced to a fellow named Will. Soon after we started to chat, one of his golfing buddies came up from behind, ‘Wilbur!’ he said in the best Mister Ed (the talking horse) voice ever. Those of us around had to laugh, although poor Will did not look pleased. Unfortunately, I have also been known to break out into theme songs
the island news | january 1-7, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
from obscure television shows. Where does this come from? Somewhere deep in my mind hide the lyrics to shows like The Patti Duke Show and The Brady Bunch. And if I mention My Three Sons, don’t your crossed legs want to twitch. How many of us haven’t hummed the Twilight Zone theme song when the lights go out during a thunder storm. I do feel sorry for those people coming to this country and having
to learn English. They appear lost in conversations when people reference ‘A really big Shoe!!’ (The Ed Sullivan Show) You can’t teach fifty years of sitcom dialogue in one semester. And as younger generations get introduced to new shows that I don’t watch, I find myself not following a conversation because I don’t recognize the reference. I am then more sympathetic to my English friend. Of course, there are television shows like Batman and Star Trek, which were made into movies, so saying ‘Quick to the Batmobile’ or ‘Beam me up Scottie’ crosses multiple generations. But ultimately it does mean that much of our Baby Boomer sitcom lingo will disappear. So for now, I will continue to whistle the tune to the Andy Griffith Show and smile when someone else joins me.

wine
Happy New Year. Happy New Wine. By Celia Strong
Yep. A new year is here which means we get to discover lots of new wines. Who could be so lucky? But, think of it this way. We’ve worked at learning new wines for years now. And we’ve earned the chance to continue with more. Lots more. For sure, we can always have others join us. The more the merrier, but stopping now would be awful. All that we’ve learned and shared would be wasted, and wasted is not what we want. (And, please, do not assume “wasted” has to mean seriously into a bottle!) Wasted would be not using and enjoying what we’ve already learned and made part of us…and not moving forward with more. So, waste not. We move on and travel on. To our first new wine for the new year. Bordeaux is calling to us this week. This is the largest grape growing area in France, with almost three hundred thousand acres. An average vintage is about seven hundred million bottles… more than fifty-eight million cases. Some are very inexpensive, and some are the most expensive in the world. Eightynine percent of all these wines are red. That’s like six bottles of red for every one bottle of white, which leaves us in the minority with our white wine for this week; but, we can get more on that in a moment. The history of wine in Bordeaux started with the Romans, probably in the mid-first century, AD., when they began growing grapes and making wine for local consumption. In the twelfth century, the popularity of Bordeaux wines in England increased dramatically. That was when the English king, Henry Plantagenet married Eleanor of Aquitaine. Aquitaine was located in a corner of Bordeaux, so the union made England a perfect market for these wines. At that time, the wines of Graves were considered to be the best Bordeaux made. The Hundred Years War disrupted trade between the two countries, but at the end of that, in 1453, the French retained control of the province and of its winemaking. In the seventeenth century, Dutch traders drained the swampy area that was Médoc, so that they could plant vines there. Malbec was the most

planted variety in the Médoc, until the nineteenth century when Cabernet Sauvignon replaced it. In 1855, the chateaux of Bordeaux were classified, meaning rated in five levels. (When you study Bordeaux wines more than we’re going to today, you learn the good and the bad points of this classification. Either way, it is still an important feature in their wine industry). Over the past several months, we have many times talked about the five Bordeaux red varieties that are allowed, legally. For white wines, they also use, and blend, several varieties. Sémillon is their main white grape. It is used for dry wines as well as their famous Sauternes. In smaller proportions, they also use Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. For perspective, fifty-four percent of Bordeaux white grapes are Sémillon, thirty-six percent are Sauvignon Blanc, seven percent are Muscadelle and three percent are the remaining allowed varieties - Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche. Dry white wines are made throughout the region. Usually, these wines are “Bordeaux Blanc,” appellation wines; and, usually they come from sub-regions that make just red wines. There are a few sub-appellations that are allowed for white wines…Graves, and Entre-Deux-Mers for dry whites and the famous Sauternes for dessert wines. Our wine, for this week, comes from Château Teyssier, located in the Saint Émilion appellation, on what is known as the Right Bank. Because this is only an appellation for red wines, ours is a Bordeaux appellation. In the eighteenth century, this property was mainly a farm. In 1869, it was acquired by Jules Roy, a historian, who built the chateau and planted the vineyards. In 1994, when Jonathan and Lyn Maltus bought Teyssier, it was a neglected five acre estate. They invested in a modernized winery and cellar, and even built a second

winery. Jonathan Maltus is considered by many to be a “cult winemaker.” Besides several locations in Bordeaux, he has worked on projects in the Barossa Valley in Australia and a venture in Napa Valley known as World’s End. Chateau Teyssier is known for a good quality red wine, made from eighty-five percent Merlot and fifteen percent Cabernet Franc. They make ten to twelve thousand cases of this red. They make their white wine from about three-acre plot and a four and a half acre plot of grapes…only about one thousand cases each year. Pezat is this white wine…our white wine. It is made from ninety-five percent Sauvignon Blanc and five percent Muscadelle. In this part if France, Sauvignon Blanc ripens slowly, due to the maritime climate. This lets the grapes develop a good balance between acidity and sugar levels. Their wines here are known for their green freshness, crispness, zestiness and food friendly
textures. Muscadelle is a new variety for us. And not related to Muscat, Moscato, Muscadine or Muscadet. Actually, it is a cousin to Viognier, which means aromatics - floral and perfume - and fruitiness and a silky smoothness. When barrel aged, Muscadelle can be rich with caramel and butterscotch flavors. These grapes are grown in a hilly part of the property. They are picked at night and allowed little skin contact when they are gently crushed. This allows the underlying fruitiness of both varieties to be as strong as possible. The wines are made and allowed to sit for a short time on their lees - for more complexities and flavors…and brightness. So, now just imagine how dry and crisp Sauvignon Blanc tastes with an itty bit of floral perfume and fruitiness and silkiness and caramel. At the Château, they say this is a wine to keep in your refrigerator. That way it’s always ready for you to drink some. Our Pezat is pale yellow with intense aromas…citrus, white peaches, white flowers, coupled with lengthy flavors and a lingering finish. Imagine it with freshwater fish, boiled shrimp, Asian seafood recipes, sushi, lobster or crab raviolis, mild cheeses or savory soufflés. Or how’s this? Ready for you when you get home. Perfect. A new refreshing, zesty white wine to start our new year with. For $15.99. Enjoy.
Capital strength is one of the factors they look at to determine the strength and safety of a bank. How much capital a bank has in relation to its assets is a mark of stability among banks. We always maintain a high capital to assets ratio. It’s one of the reasons we’re always rated as a strong bank.

Are We Vaccinating Our Dogs Too Much? BowWOW!
By Tracie Korol
The short answer is yes. Is this one of those crazy ant-vaxxer pieces? No, but it is a cautionary tale. Yes, vaccinate your dog. Just don’t do it year after year after year after year. It’s time to do your research and be a true advocate for your Best Friend. When it comes to vaccinating our dogs, most of us rely on our vets, trusting that their advice is up-to-date and not biased by economic or political concerns. Sadly, unless vets stay current on veterinary journal reading both allopathic and complementary… and assimilate any new information… and decide to forgo significant vaccination income, their advice may lag many years behind what experts in both areas currently advocate. Vaccination is a serious medical procedure with the potential for adversely affecting health, both in the short and long term. Our pets today are suffering from an unprecedented epidemic of chronic hard-core degenerative disease much caused by the very pet vaccines that are supposed to preserve health. Our pets are routinely presenting with a variety of symptoms and diagnoses that were not seen in animals even a short 10 years ago. Perhaps you have might have a dog in your house with allergies that won’t go away, scary sounding diseases like thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, polyarthritis, glomerulonephritis. Or your pet suffers inflammatory bowel disease or bizarre behavioral issues, perhaps a newly developed seizure disorder or even injection site tumors, to name just a few that have been linked to over-vaccination. Vaccinosis is the umbrella term for reactions to vaccines, to the altered virus contained in the vaccine, and

also to the chemicals, adjuvants, and other components of tissue culture cell lines -- as well as possible genetic changes -- that can be induced by vaccines. Because many people don’t make the connection between the administration of a shot and subsequent symptoms, and because the veterinary industry at large often does not acknowledge such a connection, adverse vaccine reactions often go unreported. So, what’s a pet owner to do? 1. Always consider locale, lifestyle, risk and vaccine effectiveness. If your tiny companion rarely leaves your lap, let alone the yard and is never around degenerate street dogs, you can probably pass on the vaccines designed to protect against diseases found in woods, wetlands and crowds. 2. Say no! to combination shots. Combo shots (with names like DHLPPC) hammer your dog’s immune system with multiple vaccines at once. Given for false economy and convenience rather than health or safety, combination shots assault the immune system and can create major health problems. Also, they invariably contain unnecessary vaccines. What would your body do if it had to contend with this immunological assault every year?

3. Don’t allow your vet, kennel owner or groomer to intimidate you into giving unnecessary shots. A simple “no, thank you” should be enough to stop any guilt-slinger, shamer or bully. Suggest titer testing for parvovirus or distemper and if told no, simply go elsewhere. There are vets around who will help you come up with a realistic and safe health plan. 4. Test immunity; don’t automatically revaccinate. Titer tests are blood tests measuring antibodies to disease. Pet vaccination expert Dr. Ron Schultz (google him) believes that titer tests yielding strong titers for parvovirus and distemper means not vaccinating against these diseases for years, and maybe for life. In fact, recent studies show that immunity increases, not decreases, years later. 5. Never vaccinate sick dogs, old dogs or tiny puppies. All vaccine labels state that they’re to
be used in healthy animals. Unfortunately, the labels do not define “healthy” and most clients aren’t privy to this admonition. As a result, sick pets, itchy pets, diabetic pets, immunecompromised pets, pets undergoing chemo and surgery, and even elderly housebound pets are routinely boostered. Any shots given to an unhealthy animal—like a starving, diseased rescue, for instance-- may well not provide immunity anyway and will likely cause an adverse reaction, or even death. (Rescuers, get them well first, then vaccinate.) Vaccinating pups that still have maternal immunity is unnecessary and ineffective. 6. Make copies of all files and store them in a safe place. Clinics and rescue operations lose records, go out of business, leave town, etc. Without your dog’s records, you may have to re-vaccinate unnecessarily because of lost or missing records. Ready to be your dog’s advocate? Best case, find a vet concerned about over-vaccinating to advise you. Educate yourself and go to the vet armed with information. Most important: actually advocate for your dog; don’t just intend to advocate. What do I do? For my pets, I get a severely edited puppy series, spaced individually and then titer at 7 years. To date, no boosters whatsoever and no disease, either, in over 40 years.
