City of Beaufort starts process to spur economic development at park, marina To gauge private developers’ interest in redeveloping Beaufort’s Downtown Marina parking lot and surrounding areas, to boost economic activity and improve access to the water, the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission will seek letters of interest from local, regional and national development groups over the next 60 days.

The Redevelopment Commission will evaluate responses with the intent of selecting one or more developers to further discuss a potential project, Commission Chairman Jon Verity said.

“Everything we do will follow the normal processes for development review, historic review board oversight, permitting, everything. Any proposed redevelopment project will naturally be guided by the Civic Master Plan and market conditions,” he said.

“We anticipate a great deal of public interest and public involvement in this process and it’s going to take eight or 10 months, maybe longer,” Verity said.

news briefs Suspects arrested on gun, drug charges

On January 11, members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigations Section arrested two St. Helena men on various drug and weapons charges.

In December of 2012 members of the Drug Investigations Section initiated a drug investigation in reference to Melvin Holmes and his brother Ahmad Holmes selling illegal drugs in the St. Helena area of Beaufort County. Investigators also learned the illegal drugs were being stored at the Holmes’ residence located at 944 Seaside Road on St. Helena.

During this investigation, controlled purchases of illegal drugs were made from both Melvin and Ahmad, which resulted in a search warrant. The search warrant was executed and a small quantity of marijuana was found on Ahmad Holmes, and larger quantities of crack cocaine and powder cocaine, and a handgun were found on Melvin Holmes.

Melvin and Ahmad Holmes were placed under arrest.

County offering course to be certified lifeguard

Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services will hold an American Red Cross Lifeguarding Course at the Battery Creek Indoor Swimming Pool during the month of February. Participants must be at least 15 and take a pre-requisite swim assessment set for Friday, January 25, from 3 to 6 p.m., at the Battery Creek Swimming Pool located at 1 Blue Dolphin Drive in Burton. Due to space limitations, only the first 12 participants that pass the assessment will be eligible for the class. The course will take place daily from February 1-4.

The registration fee is $160 which includes all class materials.

The idea, he said, is to attract new development that will create synergy with the surrounding uses and add to the positive momentum, including recent private investments downtown.

The Redevelopment Commission is focusing its attention on the potential upgrade of the City-owned marina parking lot. The City is seeking private sector development investment for the project. Developers will be asked to present their ideas on how to redevelop the property, which could involve the sale of land or a lease arrangement, Verity said.

Recent public comments during the amendment of the Beaufort Civic Master Plan indicate solid public support for progress in the west end of downtown, said Alan Dechovitz, project chairman for the Redevelopment Commission.

Merchants are optimistic that a project on the marina site can bring new visitors who not only shop, but

also purchase, in downtown shops and restaurants. As discussions move forward about redeveloping the marina parking lot, Dechovitz and Verity said they anticipate continued discussions about expanding and improving parking options throughout downtown.

“The city and the Redevelopment Commission are very mindful that redevelopment of such a prominent site must be of a scale and character with the existing downtown, have a high probability of long-term financial success, and address both the public’s interests and concerns,” Verity said.

“Our interest is enhancing downtown, enhancing the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, and making the most of what we have.,” he said.

Ideas already pitched favorably to the Beaufort City Council include a privately-funded water sports center for kayaking and rowing, relocated marina buildings, and a new daydock to attract more boaters to visit downtown.

Beaufort arborist Hill works with DOT on tree trimming Beaufort’s tree expert will work closely with state Department of Transportation crews this month as DOT prepares to trim back trees along roadsides in Beaufort and Port Royal.

“The idea,” said Eliza Hill, arborist for the city of Beaufort, “is to identify significant trees that may be affected so that we can improve traffic safety and protect the health of the urban forest.

Our trees, especially our oaks, are an essential part of our Lowcountry look, history and ecology.”

Her work to review the DOT route and trees to be trimmed began Tuesday.

The DOT trimming crews could begin their work next week, starting in Port Royal. The limb-cutting isn’t related to pruning over utility lines.

Department of Transportation standards call for 18-foot clearances over roadways. Trees identified as “significant” may have limbs below

Low-hanging oak limbs on James Street in Beaufort.

18-feet but not below 14-feet. Any limb 14-feet or closer to the road must be removed, Hill said. For example, traditional partial canopies such as over parts of Ribaut Road in Beaufort will be protected as much as possible.

In an effort to protect the valued trees in Beaufort and Port Royal, Hill said she and Beaufort Public Works staff may preemptively prune some trees prior to the DOT’s work.

United Way helps families afford legal assistance

F

ree and discounted legal services help Lowcountry families cope with custody issues, children with special needs and property matters — and United Way of the Lowcountry is a key partner with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers.

The United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors announced gifts and pledges have been received totaling $2,228,152 or 80 percent of the organization’s 2012 goal of $2.8 million.

As the campaign enters its final weeks, United Way leaders urge anyone with a pledge card on their desk or their “To Do” basket to please return it as soon as possible. For more information or to make a donation, call 982-3040 or visit www.uwlowcountry.org.

Through United Way of the Lowcountry, a $25 gift provides one-half hour of legal services through Lowcountry Legal Volunteers.

Garrett Wreden, Beaufort campaign chair, said United Way’s work stretches across demographics and across two counties to build a better community.

arts & entertainment

‘All Dressed Up’ art exhibit There are an infinite variety of reasons why women love dresses and wear them for so many occasions. Some styles are daring, some avant-garde, some whimsical and some just downright practical. And they all run the gamut between beautiful and plain — but that assessment is highly subjective and totally dependent on the eye of the beholder.

Artists Eliot Joanna Angell and KarenSam Norgard will ask attendees to bring their collective “eye of the beholder” to the exhibit “All Dressed Up” at USCB Center for the Arts through February 12. This two-person exhibit showcases works by the artists who often explore a similar form: The dress.

Norgard uses the dress format to imply or disclose feelings that live on either side of this fabric divider — this thin layer separating the private and the public. She works in natural materials with her unique perishable dresses as well as beading, printmaking and photography. She produces her own line of elaborately beaded jewelry featured in galleries and jewelry stores, and is

a dedicated member of the Savannah College of Art and Design faculty.

Angell works in sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and paint with works ranging from representational images to collages of real and abstract elements where birds and flying dresses tell dreamlike stories. She

teaches Printmaking at ArmstrongAtlantic State University, and Ceramics, Drawing, and Design at USCB. The exhibit is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be a “Meet the Artist” reception on Sunday, January 27 from 2- 3:30 p.m.

books sandwiched in series: ‘the painted veil’ Kathy Kilgore will be presenting Somerset Maugham’s book, “The Painted Veil” on Monday, Jan. 28 at noon at the USCB Center for the Arts as part of the 2013 Books Sandwiched In series. The book was chosen for the author’s connection with the Lowcountry and the “wonderful surprise” that it contains in its captivating story and characters.

Kathy is the owner of Divine Shoes in Beaufort. Having been born in Annandale, Va., Kathy moved to Beaufort in 1971 when her father was stationed at Parris Island as chief of staff. Kathy graduated from Beaufort Academy and went on to receive her B.S. in Business from the University of South Carolina. Kathy and her husband Glen moved back to Beaufort in 1991, and in 1992 founded EX LIBRIS book club, which remains to date with 25 members. Kathy is active in St. Peter’s Catholic Church, is the former chair of the Beaufort Academy Board of Trustees, and former vice-chair of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation. She and her family enjoy boating, swimming, reading, entertaining, spending time together and fashion.

The 21-day challenge Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com

By Takiya Smith

We have all heard that it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. Whether that myth is fact or fiction, what could it possibly hurt to try? For starters, creating or breaking a pattern certainly takes commitment and will vary on an individual basis, considering your goals.

Personally speaking, this past month, I embarked on 21 days of gorgeous.

Since I am always on the go, there have been plenty of days where it was quick, simple and easy to pull my hair into a ponytail, pull on some jeans, swipe on some lip gloss and go. Needless to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with jeans, a ponytail or lip gloss, but this past month I made a decision to be fabulous everyday and everywhere I went. Instead of jeans, I wore skirts and dresses. Instead of flats, I wore heels and boots. Instead of a ponytail, I curled and styled my hair; and instead of lip gloss, I wore lipstick.

The choice was for myself and the benefits were certainly for me. No matter what I was doing, where I was going, who I was with, or what it was for, I looked good. The outcome was me feeling great.

The irony of all this is not only did my looking good boost my exuberance, but it drew others to me as well. I received tons of compliments and was always greeted by smiles or friendly words. My habitforming attitude to invest into my looks daily offered me a dose of self-confidence

that was a remedy for well-being that was contagious.

So, whether it be a habit to start or a habit to break, take your very own 21 day challenge. For more info or questions and comments, visit my blog at www.blbboutiques.com.

‘It’ really is quite simple

By Martha O’Regan

It seems that the more “civilized” we become, the more we complicate the basic foundation of all human existence. I have been writing for the last year and a half about “it” and how “it” applies to our health, relationships and overall life experience.

I have referenced “it” as neurological, psychological, emotional and mental; I’ve used “it” to simplify quantum physics, law of attraction, and the autonomic nervous system and how “it” applies to our everyday lives. The more I learn, the more simple and basic “it” becomes in my day to day and I can’t help but want to share ways to manage “it” with others. What is “it”?

The “it” is energy. Every single thing that we can touch or see is energy. Every thought, word and deed we put into the universe is energy. We learned about protons, neutrons and electrons in eighth grade science, passed the multiple guess tests and moved on, unimpressed. Yet “it” is the basic foundation of everything in all of creation, and until recent years and the study of neuroscience,“it” was treated much differently. “It” was weird, “woo woo” or, my all time favorite, “new age.”

As a Bio Energy practitioner, I frequently hear things like, “I don’t know how it works or why it works, I just

know it works” or “It seems you hardly did anything and I feel better.” What I am doing is re-aligning the energies of mind, body and spirit, so the power that created the body can heal the body — it is that simple because we are created that simply. Power, light, sound, vibration, and frequency all mean the same thing: Energy. Once you connect with even the idea of energy and how it works within and around us, the more in touch and in awe you become with the Power of all of Creation. There is only one power, which I call God. That power is both the foundation and catalyst to every action in the entire universe. That same power is the power that divided a single cell into 2, into 4, into 16 to grow your spine, brain, heart and kidneys to become you. It is

the same energy that runs your body and your life with or without your efforts.

By design, the power around us is constantly trying to connect with the power within us, but too often “we” get in the way.

The “we” is the ego, our conscious mind, the thing that thinks it’s in charge, giving us its opinion on everything. We limit or slow down that power through judgments, grudges and upsets — thinking that “we” know what is “right” or “wrong.” Once we surrender to the idea that “we” are not in charge and begin allowing that power to flow into us, to be used in service to others or connected with the planet, we begin to heal and find the gratitude and joy that has been missing in our lives. That is the power in charge.

To simplify it even more, science tells us that the bio energetic frequency of the human heart is the same frequency of the invisible energy swirling all around us which is the same frequency as love.

Energy=God=Love=God=Energy.

Can’t you just visualize Einstein and Jesus hanging out sharing theories and parables, only to kick back and agree that “Yep, it’s all love and love is all that is.”

It’s just that simple, albeit not always easy ... until it is. Let’s make it easy in 2013. Live Well ... Have Fun!

Efforts of CODA, CAPA deserve recognition

By Pamela Brownstein

Last week, I attended the annual meetings of two local nonprofits that work tirelessly to make our community a better, safer place to live.

Citizens Opposed to Domestic Violence (CODA) met at TCL and included a brave survivor of domestic abuse sharing her story and how her counselor at CODA helped her by listening and encouraging her to rebuild her life.

At City Hall, the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) recognized the selfless hours of their many volunteers and praised the success of their new thrift store.

CODA and CAPA both operate shelters in Beaufort as a refuge for victims of abuse, and rely on the time and efforts of their staff, board members and volunteers to keep these places running and open 24 hours.

Here are some 2012 statistics I found interesting from both groups:

behavior. Then I came full circle and ended feeling hopeful knowing that Pamela Brownstein is a 5-foot-tall Scorpio the whole purpose for these groups who loves Beaufort and hopes you will join her adventures in life, love and motherhood. is to break the cycle of abuse through education and support.

Contact her at theislandnews@gmail.com.

CODA and CAPA, along with • CODA received more than 4,000 Hope Haven of the Lowcountry, make up the Abuse Prevention Coalition, calls to their emergency hotline; • Only 6% of CODA’s annual budget which receives funding from United Way of the Lowcountry. Shauw Chin goes to administration and salaries; • CAPA’s Closet thrift store saw a Capps, director of Hope Haven and the guest speaker at CAPA’s meeting, sales increase of 18% from 2011-12; • There were 51 children who lived said that by working together, “We in CAPA’s shelter; the average daily ensure that healing can happen.”

For this reason alone, the efforts of attendance was 11 children. these dedicated groups deserve the After both meetings, I experienced a range of emotions. I had just seen community’s full recognition.

To get involved or to find out and heard from so many people doing more about these organizations, visit good and helping the most vulnerable members of society; it was inspiring. www.codalowcountry.org and www.

But the fact that families and children capabeaufort.org.

LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Development near Emancipation Oak is a disgrace to the historical significance of the site

A friend of mine and I attended the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation at Tabernacle Baptist Church, and went, along with many others, to the site on the grounds of Naval Hospital Beaufort in Port Royal. There were people attending who had come from several other parts of the country because they were so interested and respectful of the occasion, as well, of course, as many from the Beaufort area. I think everyone was a bit shocked to see that the area right around the tree had been encroached upon by the construction of a ranch house that is part of the military housing in the area. The back screened porch of this house was within about 10 feet of the tree, not to mention the owner’s satellite TV dish, which was also interfering with the view. It was really quite difficult to focus on the profound history of the site under these conditions, and, all in all, I would have to say ... a disgrace. The only good news is that because of the impossibility of the general public even getting on the grounds to see this, not too many people are aware of this amazing lack of respectful treatment of this supremely hallowed site.

Did you get a boot on your car parking downtown or is the traffic light on your street ridiculously slow? Or would you like to thank a stranger for a random act of kindness? Here’s your chance to sound off. Send your comments to LowcountryBroil@gmail.com and you could see them in the paper. Don’t worry: They’re all anonymous.

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

‘in the flow’

with yoga teacher carol morrissey

By Lanier Laney

C

arol Morrissey was born in the Garden State but has been thriving as a nonnative Southern transplant since she happily moved to Beaufort in 1987. She’s a Registered Nurse, has a masters degree in Holistic Nutrition (MHN) and is a registered yoga teacher at the E-RYT500 level.

Says Carol, “I’ve been teaching yoga full time for 11 years and started whole food-based nutritional counseling, raw food workshops and seasonal group cleanses a few years ago after completing my Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition.” (By the way, Carol’s raw food spring cleanse is what many of Beaufort’s loveliest ladies swear by to get their figures back in shape after the excesses of the holidays.)

Carol met her husband, Dean, right after he moved to Beaufort in 1989. They dated for five years before marrying in 1994. She and Dean have two daughters that they are justifiably proud of: Morgan, 15, who is a freshman at Beaufort High, and Hannah, almost 14, in eighth grade at Beaufort Middle.

Both play tennis for Beaufort High and Morgan recently received the MVP award for the Junior Varsity Tennis team.

Carol teaches classes and workshops at the Yoga Chandra Center for the Healing Arts in the Lady’s Island Marina building and says she is also fortunate to be part of the team of professionals put together by Carolina Sportscare for the Dataw Island community.

Carol has been mourning the loss of her good friend, and beloved Yoga Chandra Center founder, Kim Cech.

Carol said, “Kim was my first yoga mentor and I think Kim’s loss will be felt for some time. I know that I am still in the grieving process. I was fortunate to be with her many hours during her illness. Near the end of her illness, I asked people who had been Kim’s friends/students to send me notes, memories they had of Kim for me to read to her.

It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. I got to read all these tender love stories of Kim, to Kim, from folks near and far, current students and those from her past. I wanted her to know how much she was loved by so many. Her legacy is vast and lasting.”

Carol with her daughters Morgan and Hannah.

Carol’s journey to become a yoga teacher was unexpected. Says Carol, “I have always been a fitness enthusiast but never dreamed that yoga would become such a passion. I was spinning instructor/ cardio junkie/gym rat (not that there is anything wrong with that!) with terrible back pain and the world’s tightest hamstrings. I knew I needed to ‘stretch’ more and signed up for a fitness-based yoga workshop in Hilton Head. I went ... I stunk; I mean I was terrible at ‘yoga’ and hence the gauntlet was thrown. I was so accustomed to being such a good athlete that it got under my skin to be so inept with yoga.

“I began to practice more and started taking classes with Kim Cech. Kim was so gracious and skilled. She never made me feel inadequate even though I could only bend enough to touch my knees! I began to see yoga as more

the island news | january 24-30, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

than just exercise and view it as an expression of art and mindfulness.

I developed a deep appreciation for the philosophy and science that comprises a complete yoga practice and the science/anatomy geek in me reveled in the anatomy and therapeutic applications of yoga.

Soon I had the tools and skill to completely alleviate my back pain.

I was hooked and have not stopped continuing my studies or practicing since.”

Carol has studied yoga continuously over the years, acquiring more than 1,200 classroom hours of hands-on training in yoga studies with a large emphasis on the therapeutic modalities of yoga.

“One of the aspects of my teaching that I most enjoy and am proud of is the range of my teaching,” she said. “I’m known for offering some of the most creative, challenging asana classes around

and yet also have a great skill set and expertise with therapeutics and myofascial release using a variety of techniques. I’ll be offering many workshops throughout the year, some appealing to the yoga junkie, others designed for self-care and gentle healing modalities. I’m honored to be working with a very well-trained and diverse group of teachers at Yoga Chandra and you can look forward to many classes and workshops that combine our talents. We have already begun the planning for Ocean Motion to be held May 31 to June 1. As with last year, the event coincides with World Oceans month. There will be an array of activities, workshops and yoga for all ages. Last year’s event was quite successful and we can’t wait to celebrate and educate about our local seas.”

About the future of the Yoga Chandra Center, Carol has this to say: “All of the teachers at Yoga Chandra are committed to continuing offering what they love in the little studio over the sea.

Yoga Chandra has more classes than ever before with several new classes being added to the schedule and a wide array of classes and workshops offered from Yin Yoga with live acoustic music, myofascial release with foam rollers, Nia, asana workshops, introductory yoga series, and an archetype of the goddess series. There is also a cross training class on Saturday mornings called Walkasana — 45 minutes of power walking with interval training followed by 45 minutes of vinyasa yoga. I must say that Kim was thrilled with the studio and all of the offerings. She attracted and welcomed a stellar group of teachers. None of us has the exact same training so we provide great variety and a broad skill set.” For a full schedule go to www.yogachandracenter.com.

What’s Carol’s philosophy towards life and work? “Small acts matter.” Says Carol, “I believe that we are amazing creations, almost beyond comprehension, singular and precious and that we cast a flow of energy that moves well beyond our vision. I believe that meditation, movement and nature are balms for the soul. Service to others is an act of love and it’s why we are here.”

Awesome things to do with your iPhone

By Jerod Collins

Technology has come a very long way, hasn’t it? Do you remember a time when the only thing you could do with a phone was make a call? Well, it is safe to say that those days are long gone.

Smartphones, like the iPhone and Android, can do all kinds of cool things right out of the box like connect with your email, Facebook and contacts, allow you to surf the Web and it can even make phone calls! But I bet you are wondering, “What else can I use it for to make my life easier?” Here is a list of awesome things I bet you didn’t know you could do with your iPhone.

• Carry your documents with you: Sometimes, you need to take your work with you, or you want to have your pictures be sent automatically to your computer when you take them. With Dropbox for iPhone, you can have your documents and pictures be synced between your computer and phone at all times. You will never be without an important document again.

• Take high definition pictures: Sure the camera on your phone is OK, but if you want to take eye-popping photos like a pro, look into getting a HDR camera app for your iPhone. Most of them are free and take photos that rival even the HD cameras the pros use. It isn’t perfect, but for a phone, it is pretty fantastic!

• Scan documents on the go: If you are a small business owner, or a person who keeps track of receipts, Genius Scan turns your iPhone into a high quality scanner. Using your phone camera, you take a picture of the document you want to scan and it turns the image into a high quality PDF that you can then email or save to your computer via Dropbox. I use it to file invoices for my business and it helps

make my life a bit easier.

• Balance your checkbook digitally: If you use your debit card more than you would like to admit, sometimes it may be hard to remember to balance your accounts on the go. With a Checkbook app, you can keep balanced on the go.

You can also go a step further with Bill Tracker and Debt Beater app for all the help you need keeping your finances in order on the go.

• Find Recipes and help exercise: Food Network app, need I say more?

Well, there are many apps for recipes and food preparation — search the app store for food and be amazed! Also, if you are a fitness nut, or just trying to lose weight from the holidays, there are many workout apps and fitness trackers that you can use to help get the body you have always wanted. My recommendation for a fitness app is Fitness Buddy.

Technology really is a wonderful thing. It helps us to be more productive and get things done faster. Today, your phone is not just a device for voice calls.

Your phone is a multi-tool, capable of many different uses that you can use to your advantage. Whether you want to find where you need to go (Google Maps, yes, it doubles as a GPS), get work on documents on the go (documents-to-go) or just call a loved one, use your phone to your advantage.

Make it work for you!

TCL health sciences accepting applications The Technical College of the Lowcountry is now accepting applications for fall entry into its health sciences programs that include massage therapy, nursing, physical therapist assistant, radiologic technology and surgical technology. Apply by April 1.

Health Sciences students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive additional hands-on practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties.

“Entry into TCL’s health sciences programs is highly competitive, so it’s best to start the application process early,” Health Sciences Dean Marge Sapp said.

The job outlook is exceptional for all of TCL’s health

career programs.

Health care will generate 3.2 million new jobs between 2008 and 2018, more than any other industry, largely in response to rapid growth in the elderly population.

Employment in the health care industry is projected to increase 22 percent through 2018, compared with 11 percent for all industries combined, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Federal and state financial aid options are available through the TCL financial aid office. Additionally, most South Carolina residents automatically qualify for S.C. Lottery Tuition Assistance.

Call 843-525-8267 for more information, or visit www. tcl.edu/health to learn more.

As a self-described coffee connoisseur, I am a frequent customer familiar with the variety of drink options offered at City Java & News on Carteret Street in downtown Beaufort. But, I am almost embarrassed to admit, before last week I had never been there for lunch.

That all changed when Lunch Bunch gathered in the back conference room for an awesome meal. Our servers Woody and Louisa were helpful and attentive — and they both make a mean latte.

wine

Not your regular bottle, not your regular wine

By Celia Strong

This week’s new wine will require another trip to France, but this time to a region we almost never visit.

And for a grape variety that doesn’t usually come from there: Chardonnay. Surprisingly, a very, very popular grape, but not one we talk about too often. I suppose that’s partly because we each like our own style of Chardonnay. And, with all the styles and price ranges there are in Chardonnay wines, it makes for a really long discussion. Not a bad thing, necessarily, but we don’t want too much talking before we get to the wine.

Chardonnay is green-skinned grape variety that makes white wine. Every country that makes wine has Chardonnays — it’s almost like making a good Chardonnay is the entry fee into that world. As a grape, and despite the multitude of flavors it can show, Chardonnay more than most other varieties can reflect the soil and climate where it is grown (terroir) and its wine maker’s style (oak treatments, secondary fermentations, etc.). This is a very malleable grape. It is almost the widely grown grape in the world, second only to Airen (a Spanish white variety). From cooler climates — such as Chablis, France, and Oregon — these wines are lean and crisp and high in acidity. From warmer climates, they can be honey and tropical fruitflavored.

The origins of Chardonnay go back to Europe and the Middle East. For a long time, a connection between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc was generally accepted. This was partly because all three of these varieties had similar leaf and bunch shapes and because they all were found close to each other in the regions where they grew. At points, some viticulturists thought Chardonnay could be traced back to an ancient indigenous vine from Cyprus. But, DNA testing helped sort out all the different theories. The Romans brought a variety known as Gouais Blanc with them into what is now France from Croatia. It was planted in close proximity to Pinot grapes in what became the Burgundy region. The vines cross pollinated and Chardonnay was one of the results. To this day, the Chardonnay wines of Burgundy are considered to be some of the best, and, for sure, they are some of the most expensive.

Our Chardonnay wine comes not from Burgundy, but from the other side of France. From the Loire Valley, actually, where it is quite rare. The Loire River runs from the Atlantic Ocean, eastward across France, and ends close to where Burgundy starts. There are 87 AC appellations along the length of the Loire.

Their white wines are made from Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Muscadet (originally called Melon de Bourgogne). This last grape grows around the mouth of the river, at the edge of the Atlantic.

In this same area, though, there is also a small bit of Chardonnay grown. It does not, however, make AC

The Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay grapes by the Couillaud family. Domaine de Bernier is the name of the estate where the Chardonnay grows in France’s Loire Valley.

This wine is crisp, elegant, steely and citrusy, and is available for only $12.99. level wine.

And, that leads us to our next bit of learning. We have to remember that the wines of France are controlled by their national wine laws. These laws were instituted after World War I, when copies of some wines were being made and sold, and no one knew what they were getting. The wine industry itself was responsible for their laws. Originally, there were four levels of wine; AC wines were the highest level with the toughest controls (which grapes could be used in which regions, how much wine could be made from an acre of vines, pruning in some cases, bottle shapes and colors in some cases, and more). The other levels were VDQS, then Vin de Pays, and, at the bottom, Vin de Table. In 2010, a new category, Vin de France, replaced the Vin de Table level. And, the IGP (Indication Geographique Protegee) category combined and replaced both the VDQS and the Vin de Pays. After all the years some of us have spent learning and remembering the first set of categories, these news ones are a bit of a pain. The only reason I even bother with them is because when a new wine comes along that has a new, and unknown to me, designation I have to look it up. Again. And, that is the case with this week’s Chardonnay.

IGP wines have the origin, where the grapes come from, designated on their labels. Since so much of French wines is about where they come from, there is some comfort in this. I think. So, our wine is a Chardonnay, from the Muscadet area of the Loire

“Multiply the money that’s available in our local economy”

Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay is 100% Chardonnay and made in the Loire Valley of France.

Valley, with a Val de Loire IGP designation.

In the Muscadet area, the Couillaud family makes great Muscadet wines at the Chateau de Ragotiere.

Domaine de Bernier is the name for the estate where their Chardonnay grows just outside Muscadet. The soil here is a heavy clay with a bit of chalk — actually, great soil for Chardonnay grapes to grow in. This is an estate grown and bottled wine, made from 20-year-old vines. Eight percent of the wine is aged in French oak barrels; the other 92 percent is aged as it lies in glass tanks. You may recognize the “sur lie” aging that is done with the best Muscadets too.

The Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay is 100 percent Chard and this is one of the few Chardonnay wines made in the entire Loire Valley. Because of the growing conditions here, soil and climate, many wine writers compare this wine to a Chablis from northern Burgundy. This wine is crisp, elegant, steely, citrusy, and has a minerality similar to Chardonnay grown in Chablis.

Since it’s not from Chablis, and because it’s not an AC level wine, we don’t have to pay as much for it. So, it might be worth learning the new legal levels of French wines after all. Try this one for $12.99 and maybe you’ll agree. I hope. Enjoy!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

We’re so fat!

By Tracie Korol

As we see our dogs everyday, the signs of obesity can be subtle. We’re not easily able to notice gradual changes in our housemates’ weight, especially if there’s a lot of hair involved. Plus, there is no uniformly accepted medical way to measure whether a dog is or isn’t obese. Most veterinarians and owners assess a dog’s weight on a “look and feel” basis. Dogs are considered to be at their ideal weight if their ribs are easy to feel as individual solid structures without pushing. I’ve seen owners jam a finger into a fat dog’s side and protest,“I can feel his ribs!” It’s more on the order of “can you strum your dog’s ribs?” Another sign is if their chest, abdomen and hips form a well-defined, waist-like “hourglass” shape when viewed from above.

Other signs of obesity include: • A “waddling” gait — rolling from side to side like a ship at sea • Lethargy — a dog that does not move nor want to move • Exercise intolerance — when a walk to the mailbox leaves your pet sucking for air (dyspnea) • Noisy breathing (sterdor and/or stridor) or sounding like Sebastian Cabot.

Even a moderate amount of excess body fat can reduce a dog’s lifespan and increase its chances of early death. While this association may not be completely direct, obesity does increase a dog’s chances of developing other conditions that can shorten its life, such as infectious disease, cancer, arthritis, skin disorders, high blood pressure (hypertension), respiratory disease, reproductive irregularities, diabetes mellitus and heart (cardiac), neurological and musculoskeletal (orthopedic) diseases.

Causes of Obesity in Dogs To put is simply as I can, obesity, for all living things, is caused by eating too much (excess energy intake) and not moving enough (deficient energy

output). Extra energy from a dog’s diet is stored as fat. Factors that can contribute to a dog eating too many calories include being fed energy-dense, highfat, and highly palatable commercial diet, processed snacks and other treats between meals, or simply being fed too much of a well-balanced diet. Other factors can include age, breed, sex, heredity, hormonal abnormalities, and lifestyle. A strong human-dog bond often contributes to overfeeding and excess compensation snacking. Humans are apt to suffer from guilt and dogs are masters at manipulating that guilt with those big brown eyes.

Couple that with the fact that most pet owners will merely stroll their dogs around the block once or twice a day and you have a health crisis waiting

at the door. Every dog, large or small, must have an opportunity to perform some real exercise every day. That means a brisk, get-your-heart-going, couple-mile a day walk. Big sporting breeds need more. For instance, a healthy lab can easily run 6 or 7 miles without breaking a sweat. That’s what they are designed to do as hunting dogs. Even small dogs — terriers and beagles, for instance — were bred to perform an energy-expending task — running down varmints. What happens to these dogs when they are fed too much and then retire to the sofa? The same thing that happens to you.

Older animals will become less active as they age and can become predisposed to putting on weight living increasingly confined and sedentary lifestyles. Statistically, dogs that live with overweight owners are also more likely to become overweight. Finally, dogs with certain hormonal or metabolic disorders, such as hypothyroidism, can be prone to obesity because their body’s normal rate of metabolism is decreased, which in turn decreases their energy needs.

Beaufort Lion Club Exchange Club presents holds pancake breakfast school Freedom Shrine The Beaufort Lions Club invites you to a Pancake Breakfast on February 9 at Sea Island Presbyterian Church at 81 Lady’s Island Drive from 8-11 a.m. Tickets are $6 for adults and $3 for children and can be purchased at the door or by calling Bob Griffith at 838-0098. Funds raised from this event will be used to purchase the latest eye screening device called Plusoptix which costs nearly $6,000.

This non-invasive device is amazingly accurate, quickly snaps a photograph of the eye and gives immediate test results which can be stored or printed. The beauty of this equipment is that it can test the eyesight of infants as young as 6 months and provides information about a variety of eye conditions such as lazy eye as well as full refraction information.

Since September the Beaufort Lions Club has tested the eyesight of over 2,000 school children; upgrading to this device will make our sight team even more efficient, accurate and able to service more Beaufort children.
