Carew Rice exhibit opens at Verdier House A Beaufort family’s private collection of silhouettes of southern life and lands by early 20th century Lowcountry artist Carew Rice will open at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street, Saturday, February 2 and run through the end of May. Historic Beaufort Foundation is the exclusive venue for this personal

collection which has never been shown in its entirety.

Rice’s uncommon hand-crafted work captures the Lowcountry world in black and white and provides a matchless glimpse of South Carolina culture in the first half of the 20th century. Created from his youth after the turn of the 19th

century until his death in 1971, his work is sought by collectors worldwide. While he worked and traveled throughout the south with occasional trips to Europe, he lived primarily at Brick House Plantation deep in the ACE Basin near Green Pond between Charleston and Beaufort.

County to transform Coroner’s Office Beaufort County is looking for contractors to take on the job of renovating the County owned, now vacant, Disabilities and Special Needs Building located in Port Royal and transforming it into the new County Coroner’s office and morgue. This will be the first time the Beaufort County Coroner has ever had its own building and morgue which will enable Coroner Ed Allen to offer additional family services and perform required administrative functions in a central location.

“Working out of a trailer is not helpful to grieving family members and is not conducive to properly maintaining records”, said Allen.

The project will involve demolition and renovation of the 6300 square foot building. A little more than 4,200 square feet will house the administration offices and space for Victim and Juvenile

Services. The rest of the more than 2,000 square feet will house the morgue.

Landscaping of the grounds will also be a component of this renovation. The project is expected to break ground the end of April and construction should take eight months to complete.

A mandatory pre-bid meeting for contractors interested in the project is scheduled for Wednesday February 6, 2013 at 102 Industrial Village Road, Building #2 in Beaufort at 10 a.m.

Local, small, and minority businesses are strongly encouraged to attend. At that meeting, contractors will be given details on what the project entails and a tour of the site.

To request a bid package contact the Beaufort County Engineering Department at 843-255-2700 or email cskinner@bcgov.net.

The estimated cost of the project is $850,000. Those monies will come from bond sales.

Town Hall forums let public meet first district Congressional candidates Representative Shannon Erickson is pleased to announce a series of public Town Hall forums for the candidates for the First Congressional District special election, the seat recently vacated by U. S. Senator Tim Scott. The evenings are reserved for two candidates each night to attend, introduce themselves and answer questions from the public.

Each candidate will be on stage for an hour, either 6 until 7 p.m. or 7 to 8 p.m.

Dates for these forums are: • Thursday, January 31: Rep. Chip Limehouse (R) 6 p.m./Ms. Elizabeth Moffly (R) 7 p.m.

• Monday February 4: Governor Mark Sanford (R) 6 p.m./Mr. Teddy Turner (R) 7 p.m.

• Thursday, February 7: Sheriff Ray Nash (R) 6 p.m./Mr. Jeffrey King (R) 7 p.m.

• Thursday, March 7: Representative Andy Patrick (R) 6 p.m./TBA 7 p.m.

The forums will be open to all candidates regardless of party affiliation and are not debates but rather opportunities for the public to be clearly informed on the candidate’s background, experience, stance on issues and vision of representation of our area. More specific candidate attendance information will be announced as it is received and confirmed. Each TOWN HALL will be held at the Technical College of the Lowcountry Auditorium, 921 Ribaut Road, Building 12 in Beaufort. In the event of a runoff, another Town Hall will be added on Monday, March 25 for the candidates in that election.

health smile for a lifetime braces scholarship Since October 2009, the Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton chapter of the national nonprofit foundation Smile for a Lifetime has awarded 22 orthodontic scholarships to young, deserving individuals who, due to financial reasons, have no opportunity to receive braces.

Smile for a Lifetime Foundation’s mission is to create self-confidence, inspire hope, and change the lives of children up to age 18 in our communities in a dramatic way. The foundation’s guidelines dictate that a candidate will be considered if the family’s income is below the poverty level which normally qualifies the child for Medicaid and/or the free school lunch program.

The 2013 application deadlines are February 15, and October 15.

Applications are available at all eight Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health sites; the Beaufort, Bluffton, Jasper, and Hampton county health departments; or online at winningorthodonticsmiles. com under the Smile For a Lifetime Foundation tab. Applications must be postmarked on or before each deadline to be considered.

The grander scheme of things At this juncture, your resolutions for the new year may be swirling about, much like tattered bits of yesterday’s news. You start the day in the same rush as before. A quick cup of coffee is your body’s only consolation till lunch, and even then it’s the day-old donut you left in your desk drawer. Your boyfriend’s pretending he’s not getting your calls.

And if you catch one more of your employees on Facebook during work hours, you’ll scream!

I hear yah. But what if your whole life was different — or even just tomorrow?

What would a perfect day look like?

Chris Guillebeau is the power behind the website Art of Non-Conformity.

Therein you will find a manifesto that is titled to amuse, “A Brief Guide to World Domination.” The manifesto provides in part, a short summary of an exercise by marketing expert Paul Myers called “The Ideal World.” While Albert Einstein felt there was only one absolute question in the world, Paul numbered two: #1: What do you really want to get out of life?

Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon

Offering a unique approach to your active health care needs using a variety of healing modalities, nutritional and wellness coaching to empower you to a new state of health and well-being. 73 Sams Point Road, 524-2554.

#2: What can you offer the world that no one else can?

Chris summarizes the exercise: Think through your idealized, perfect day in great detail, beginning from what time you get up and what you have for breakfast all the way through what you do for each hour of the day and who you talk to. Then you begin to make plans to adjust your life to get closer to the perfect day you’ve designed for yourself.

We have all heard “follow your bliss,” but question Number 1 works backwards from conventional wisdom. It looks at the moment when the credits roll.

Author Don Miller, in his book, “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, How I Learned to Live a Better Story,” was forced to follow along with the exercise

above when a studio decided to make a movie about his early life. Don confesses at the outset, up until that point that the screenwriters pulled up in his driveway, he had been using his royalties, without much exception, to watch “Oprah” at 5.

He hadn’t realized how low he had set the bar until the screenwriters began excitedly to rewrite his life story for themselves, while he fell silent on the sidelines. It was demoralizing to realize his life story wasn’t worth watching from the outside in — unless he changed it.

Don did an inner inventory and asked himself questions much like the ones above. In the end he found himself motivated enough to work towards the goal of taking the sacred and 26-milelong climb to Machu Picchu.

What about your life? Is it worth watching on the big screen? Would you sit through the whole thing ... again? In the time you have left, what would you like your life to be about and what do you have to offer those you meet in this life of not-so-chance encounters?

You might wonder as you contemplate your reply: “Who am I to start a selfmade revolution wherein I truly take my place in the grander scheme of things? I can barely chew gum and watch TV at the same time. And those are my favorite activities!”

More to come in Part II.

A Low Country Parlor Jazz Valentine’s Event The Low Country Parlor Jazz Series was inspired by remembering the historical Harlem Renaissance Period of the 1930’s and 40’s, when artists would gather on Brownstone parlor floors to share their art — be it Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Poetry, etc.

Healing Artists Veronica R. Lynch and Joyce O. Chavers, the owners of CreateWhole™ Wellness Service, have chosen to carry on the tradition here in the Lowcountry. They provide a venue for like-minded artists to fellowship, create and share their artistry.

On Saturday, February 16, CreateWhole™ Wellness Services, presents singer/songwriter Jan

Carew

continued from page 1 Most of his work is dedicated to Lowcountry scenes and it places him squarely in the era of the simultaneous Charleston Renaissance, a dynamic period, 1920-1945, of modern Southern artistic and literary history.

Rice’s bold style of silhouette cutting was previously unseen within his medium. Through his refined technique and almost limitless range of subjects, Rice claimed his place as “America’s greatest silhouettist,”

Spencer in concert for a Valentine’s Celebration. Jan will perform songs from her new CD “Home Again” and other fan favorites.

Low Country Parlor Jazz Events feature great music, great food and great people in a unique gathering. A pre-concert reception offers refreshments and impromptu performances by talented audience members. For the Valentine’s Celebration, musicians, poets, singers and all performers are invited to share their artistry during the pre-concert reception. Come, join us for a unique

and magical evening of music, memories, food and fun.

The event will take place at 5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 16, at 974 Sam’s Point Road, Beaufort, SC, 29907. A $25 donation, payable at the door, includes light refreshments. Seating is limited so RSVP today at verojoy@createwhole.com.

according to the poet Carl Sandburg, one of his subjects.

In addition to featuring Rice’s work and a display of his scissors and family memorabilia, the exhibit will include a program and cutting demonstration

by Clay Rice, Carew’s grandson, who inherited the artistry of his grandfather.

The date of the event featuring Clay Rice will be announced later. He performs songs and storytelling in addition to his cutting demonstrations.

In his 1961 book, “A Selection of Songs & Scissor-Cut Silhouettes: Low Country Artistry by Carew Rice,” Rice wrote about his realization that a small

pair of scissors purchased for 25 cents led him to “cut out a billygoat and a jaybird.” He immediately knew he “had found the thing I had been seeking to find: a way to clearly and definitely, and most of all, quickly, express my ideas in art.”

Sponsored by Derek Gilbert Law Firm, Regions Bank and the SC Humanities Council, the exhibit will be open for viewing at the Verdier House, Mondays-Saturdays, Feb. 2 – May 31. Admission is free for HBF members and children and $10 per non-member. Call Isabella Reeves at 843-379-3331 for information.

Tricentennial monuments unveiled

By Mayor Billy Keyserling

To those who came to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park for the unveiling of the Tricentennial Monuments on Sunday, January 20, I want to say thank you.

To those who were not able to make it, we are sorry that you missed a beautiful afternoon in Beaufort, a short history lesson, students reading the monuments with an overview by local historian Dr. Larry Rowland.

Because it is not possible to replicate the experience in a letter, I will not try but want to encourage you to visit the park and read them yourselves.

If you are not able to get to Waterfront Park and would like to see what is written, let me know and I can send you the words.

And a final thanks to the 300

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling can be reached by email at billyk@islc.net.

individuals, families, organizations and businesses each of whom contributed $300 to pay for the monuments to remember our rich history. Their names are inscribed on separate monuments so, if you see a name you know, please thank that person for helping to make this successful.

Thank you Beaufort for another celebration of our past which is a critical building block for our prosperous future.

Educational choice already working

By Randy Page

There’s no question that people like having options.

It’s simple, but true. In everything from smart phones to shoes, people take for granted the ability to choose products that fit their needs and personality. That same desire for choices applies to larger, more vital goods and services.

In fact, South Carolina’s popular state scholarships for higher education were created with this very truth in mind. You don’t have to look far to find someone who used the popular HOPE, LIFE or Palmetto Fellows Scholarships to attend college or university. Other state scholarships help students at technical colleges. In all, nearly $300 million in scholarships were awarded to students last year attending a very wide range of postsecondary schools all across South Carolina.

For many students, these scholarships create an opportunity to pursue higher education that otherwise wouldn’t exist. HOPE, LIFE and Palmetto Fellows scholarships can be applied to tuition costs at a variety of public and private schools.

It’s not hard to see why the state would offer these popular scholarships.

Well-equipped college graduates are good for the state’s economy. They will become tomorrow’s business leaders, teachers and innovators.

SC Charter School Law Jumps in Ranks South Carolina’s charter school law jumped from 25th to 12th among the 43 states that have approved charter school laws, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools’ (NAPCS) annual ranking of state charter school laws.

“It is exciting to see South Carolina’s charter movement recognized nationally, but not as exciting as implementing the new changes with our public charter schools across the state,” said Mary Carmichael, executive director, Public Charter School Alliance of South Carolina.

The effectiveness and popularity of HOPE, LIFE and Palmetto Fellows Scholarships should make us all wonder why South Carolina isn’t creating the same opportunities for students in grades K-12?

It isn’t an issue of age. The popular “First Steps” program has distributed tuition scholarships to low income, pre-kindergarten students since 1992.

It also isn’t an issue of money. After all, South Carolina public schools spend almost $12,000 per student. So what does keep us from implementing a proven, popular idea in K-12 education, when we use it to great effect before and afterwards?

Politics A handful of special interest groups representing administrators, school boards and teachers have joined forces to fight changes in South Carolina’s almost $9 billion a year K-12 industry.

These “education” groups have spent millions lobbying against school choice, even when that meant opposing scholarships for low-income and special needs students. Their standard tactic has been to characterize school choice as the enemy of good public schools. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Those of us who take the time to look into school choice programs in other states know that public schools actually make real strides forward when exposed to the competition of school choice.

Florida has been a particularly welldocumented example of school choice boosting public school performance.

Let’s not put politics ahead of what is proven to work for students. School choice is working right now for prekindergarten and college students in South Carolina. We all like the results of these programs, and you would be hard-pressed to find a legislator who wouldn’t support them. Students in K-12 grades shouldn’t be excluded from the same benefits.

Randy Page is President of South Carolinians for Responsible Government (SCRG) and a Board Member of the Palmetto Family Council (PFC).

LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Building, storefront on Carteret Street an eyesore to visitors and residents alike

I have lived in Beaufort for 12 years and cannot believe the von Harten building on Carteret Street has been allowed to stand in such a horrible state this long. All the other businesses do their best to dress up their storefronts, but this building is allowed to stand with peeling paint and nasty paper covering the windows. How can the city allow this to be a welcoming sight to visitors and residents alike? It is an eyesore that should be addressed.

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.

Valentine Ball kick-off party

By Lanier Laney

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

larry and wilma holman

community leaders

By Lanier Laney

L

arry Holman, a native of Durham, N.C., met his future wife, Wilma Prince, after graduating from high school at a community government program where they both worked.

Says Larry, “We became best friends there and are still best friends.”

Says Wilma, “Larry and I have always been interested in improving the community in which we live. We’ve always wanted to give back in any positive way we can.”

Both Larry and Wilma have impressive business experience. After graduating from North Carolina Central University in Durham with a degree in Finance Management, Larry began a 26-year career with JC Penney in North Carolina as a merchandise manager, general manager and personnel manager. In Beaufort, he was manager of the JC Penney at Cross Creek Mall. Wilma worked and retired from IBM after 30 years, then worked in the school system for another 10. She is now owner of H&H ComproTax Beaufort, a tax preparation company.

They have been very happily married for 42 years and have three wonderful children, Karmisha Holman Graham, 39, of Clemmons, N.C.; Kelly Holman Atkinson, 34, of Raleigh, N.C.; and Kevin Holman, 30, of Raleigh who attended Battery Creek High, then the Governor’s School of the Arts in Greenville, graduating from USC in 2006. Karmisha and Kelly each have two children.

How did these two North Carolinians end up in Beaufort? Says Wilma, “For several years we would vacation on Hilton Head Island so we were familiar with the area and loved it.

When Larry had the opportunity to come to Beaufort to manage the JC Penney store, we were very happy. We fell in love with the people, the coast, the beaches, the history.

Then in 1999 we decided we would retire and live in Beaufort.” Larry adds,“Here in Beaufort, we felt like we were coming home even though we had not lived outside of North Carolina.

Beaufort was the place for us.”

Thanks to his background in finance and his hobby of investing, Larry had a goal to retire at 55 years of age and was able to do that by age 54 with the help of JC Penney.

Larry had always been community oriented and wanted to make a positive contribution.

Says Larry, “When I retired, I was asked to become the president of the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce by the state representative at that time because they needed someone who did not need a salary.”

Since 2001, Larry has been president in charge of keeping the chamber financially sound, which includes applying for ATAX money and funds from the Department of

Parks, Recreation and Tourism. This money finances a Gullah Geechee Heritage guide and ads to bring tourists to support local businesses. During the past few years, they have partnered with South Carolina Housing to administer SC Mortgage Help program to keep people out of foreclosure. Larry has been instrumental in purchasing property at 711 Bladen Street to build an incubator, office space, and a museum showcasing local artists.

The Black Chamber has been designated a Micro Lender through the Rural Micro Entrepreneur Assistance Program. Since November, the Black Chamber has made three loans that have already created five jobs.

Larry has also worked with the community to help organize the Community of Hope Coalition, which is a group that reaches out to youth. Through the Black Chamber, Larry has also helped form a homeowner’s association with members of the Northwest Quadrant so that they would have representation at the Beaufort City Council and with city contracts.

For these efforts, in 2006 he was awarded the combined Distinguished Achievement in Business/Humanitarian Award by Beaufort County’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Steering Committee. Says Larry, “Leading the Black Chamber and having a presence in the Northwest Quadrant, Beaufort and surrounding counties have given us a chance to work closely with the community and make an impact.”

The mission of the Black Chamber of Commerce is to work with all businesses

Although they are called the Black Chamber of Commerce, Larry points out: “We did not expect the community, as a whole, would think we are for black or African-American people only. We are inclusive.”

In asking them what they feel is needed most by the community they serve, both Wilma and Larry said: “There is a huge need for financial literacy in Beaufort and surrounding areas.

These needs include banking, mortgages, insurance, taxes, property tax, and escrow accounts.” To that end, the Black Chamber has developed a financial literacy program that includes developing a business and marketing plan in partnership with SCORE. As for the future for this couple? Larry says and Wilma agrees: “To keep on doing what we are doing as long as we can.”

If Beaufort is lucky, that will be for a very very long time!

Beaufort Elementary’s Montessori program accepts applications Applications are being accepted for expanded Montessori classes at Beaufort Elementary School, which plans to add an upper elementary class to its program for 2013-14 due to high interest from parents.

“Our Montessori classes are meeting students’ needs and stretching them toward their potential in a truly unique learning environment,” said Principal Jennifer Morillo. “Because there was more interest from parents than we could accommodate this year and a number of students were wait-listed, we’re expanding our program to include an upper elementary class of fourth- and fifth-graders.

“This means that parents whose first- through third14

graders are in Montessori now will be able to complete their elementary grades using that instructional option. Our program currently consists of two lower elementary classes of first through third graders, and we’re excited to offer upper elementary as well.”

The Montessori Method, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2007, was created by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori. It is a hands-on “discovery approach” to learning where classes are multi-aged and students work at their own pace, often independently.

Montessori teachers are specially trained facilitators who guide students to explore their world and think creatively.

Beaufort is one of 24 South Carolina districts that

the island news | january 31 - february 6, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

offer a public school Montessori option and is one of 18 out of the 24 that offer an upper elementary program.

Interested parents and students can learn more about Montessori during a special informational meeting at Beaufort Elementary School on Feb. 21 at 6 p.m.

Any Beaufort County student can apply online on the district’s website. Completed applications must be submitted by March 8.

the power of 1ne

The Courage and Contributions of Fannie Lou Hamer The success of the 1960s civil rights movements means many things to Americans — equality, freedom of movement, freedom of speech, and the freedom to get up on stage and shout the message again to the world: “All my life I’ve been sick and tired. Now I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” So announced Fannie Lou Hamer, the American voting rights activist and civil rights leader who took her belief in the right to vote directly to the faces of those who denied her.

In thanks and solidarity, actor Donna Lee Williams is bringing her portrayal of Hamer to ARTworks, for two nights only, February 8-9. “The Power of 1ne” is a not-tobe-missed, one woman show about Hamer and 11 people who influenced her, good and bad. The Charleston City Paper called Donna Lee Williams’ performance “wellacted and educational.”

This is a powerful subject. Here’s what the actress had to say: Q: Why and how did you choose Fannie Lou Hamer to portray on stage?

A: While in graduate school at Mason School of the Arts of Rutgers University, I first heard an excerpt of Mrs. Hamer’s speech before the Credentials Committee of the 1964 Democratic National Convention. I was inspired by her passionate plea and angered that I’d never heard of her courage and her contributions to our history and our struggle for decency and humanity. I decided that her story deserved to be told and set out to do just that.

Q: Why is it important to artistically interpret and theatrically portray Civil Rights Leaders?

A: The struggle for Civil Rights is still a very important one. We dare not forget those who fought tirelessly for the freedoms we now enjoy and we dare not rest on their

laurels without picking up the baton and furthering their work. Theatre affords us a unique opportunity to inspire future generations by breathing life into the men and women who fought for our Civil Rights. The stage has for centuries been a vehicle to entertain and enlighten audiences to the issues affecting our communities. It is the perfect platform to continue to spread the important message of Civil Rights.

Q: How do you alone handle so many characters on one stage?

A: Each character is the catalyst for the next character Mrs. Hamer experiences in her life journey. My goal is to give audiences a glimpse of the events which had the greatest impact on her life. On stage, I try to imagine each character as Mrs. Hamer might have seen him/ her at different times in her life. I feel charged with the responsibility to simply breathe life into these characters.

Therefore, I’m not thinking of the “next character,” I’m concentrating on the impact this new life force is having on me; on Fannie Lou Hamer.

Q: How did you start acting? What artists inspire you?

A: I started acting around 6 years of age in my

bathroom mirror. I’ve always been intrigued by this rare and incredible gift, the gift to act. I wanted to know everything there was to know about it. I performed in the typical middle and high school productions and joined the performing arts company at Bennett College. While my parents groomed me to become a physician and I excelled in the sciences, I have a BS in Biology, acting was my true love. After graduating from Bennett College, I did post graduate work in acting at North Carolina A&T State University and then went on to earn my Masters of Fine Arts in Acting from Rutgers University.

Many great artists inspire me. Early on I was inspired by Cicely Tyson as she was one of the few African American actresses given an opportunity to create authentic characters depicting the African American experience.

However, I must say that I simply love to see artists, all artists, excel at their craft. Some of my favorite artists are Denzel Washington, Angela Basett, Morgan Freeman, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Viola Davis and Don Cheadle.

Q: Where do you get your courage?

A: My courage comes from the Lord. He is the source of my strength. Daily I am reminded that I am still alive because there is a purpose for a my life; a destiny to fulfill.

My great-grandmother reared me and she was a living example of strength, grace and service to others. She taught me that true courage is seen in one’s willingness to lift others up and lend a helping hand, even to the least of these. I would, by the grace of God, find such courage to continue her legacy and inspire others to do the same.

This performance is February 8 & 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the black box theater at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort. For more information, visit www.artworksinbeaufort.org, 843-379-2787.

Mary Green Chorale performs two benefit concerts for NAMI

this is a way for her and the performers to “give back” to the community.

Music by the early Romantics is featured in the first half of the Mary Green concert: Schubert’s Shepherd on the Rock with Laura and Rusty Floyd, and the Brahms’ charming Liebeslieder (Lovesong) Waltzes with the chorale and piano duo. Second half opens with a “just for fun” group of songs by Cole Porter and barbershop classics for men and women’s ensemble.

A 20th century a cappella Spherical Madrigals follows and the program concludes with Marina Lomazov and Joseph Rackers, playing Stravinsky’s Petroushka.

Net proceeds from the concert will benefit NAMI: $35 for general admission, $5 for student balcony seating, and $75 “Angel” tickets for front row seats and the post-concert reception. Tickets are available from NAMI at 843-681-2200 or NAMI@ hargray.com.

The Mary Green Chorale performs “We Sing Of Love,” a concert of the music of Schubert, Brahms, Porter, Finney and Stravinsky to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) under the direction of Mary Woodmansee Green, on Friday, February 15, 7:30 p.m. at The Baptist Church of Beaufort and Saturday, February 16 at All Saints Episcopal Church in Hilton Head Island. The concert will feature The Lomazov/Rackers Piano Duo, soprano Laura Sutton Floyd and clarinet and guitarist Russell Floyd.

The 32-member chamber chorus is a subsidiary of The Mary Green Singers, which Maestra Green founded in 1986.

The group has performed throughout the Philadelphia area as well as on tours throughout Europe and the Middle East. The Mary Green Chorale is made up of select experienced singers from the Lowcountry. Hilton Head audiences are familiar with Ms. Green’s work as music director and conductor of the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra from 1998-2011. While Ms. Green and her husband are wintering in their home on Hilton Head Island,

Judging BBQ: A science and an art, always for good causes Judging barbecue is not simply pulling a chair up to a table and sampling different cuts of the pig: It is both a science and art that requires a lot of testing, tasting and training. South Carolina Barbecue Association’s (SCBA) co-founder Lake High says that when he and Walter Rolandi initiated the SCBA in 2004, one of their top priorities was to make South Carolina the capital of the barbecue world.

“Barbecue was invented right here in South Carolina, in fact, in Port Royal. And we’re the only state that has all four basic barbecue sauces: vinegar and pepper, mustard, light tomato and heavy tomato.” One of SCBA’s strategies is to use the association not only to promote barbecue, but also to train groups of judges to help regulate the core of judging and set higher standards for the cookers. “Our system of judging puts all the cookers competing on the same playing field,” says Lake.

Lady’s Island residents Quentin and Barbara Tedder have been trained by the SCBA and have judged at more than 25 barbecue events over the last three years, but this year they are “marshaling” for Bands, Brews & BBQ, benefiting Friends of Caroline Hospice.

“We’ve judged this event and cooked at this event in the past, but this year we were honored to be named Marshals. SCBA Marshals help coordinate the cooks and monitor the SCBA judging,” says Quentin.

The fourth annual Bands, Brews & BBQ is a two day event hosted by the town of Port Royal and will be held on February 22-23. Friday night will feature chicken wings, music and brews. Saturday afternoon will be the first sanctioned event of the year for the South Carolina Barbecue Association as cookers compete for the best BBQ and ribs and begin collecting points to become the 2013 South Carolina Barbecue

4th Annual Bands, Brews & BBQ • Friday, February 22, 6-9 p.m.: The Wing Throw Down: Each cooker will prepare wings in the style they choose for public sampling and judging. The party will feature live music until 10 p.m.

• Saturday, February 23, 12-4 pm: BBQ Competition Day: Festivalgoers sample barbecue and ribs from cooking teams from across the southeast, competing in a sanctioned SCBA cook-off.

• Tickets: Tickets may be purchased for $20 each day (or $35 for both days) on-line at friendsofcarolinehospice.com. Tickets will also be available at Carolina Wings & Ribs, 1714 Ribaut Road; Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, 701 Craven Street; Lowcountry Produce Market & Café, 302 Carteret Street; Q on Bay, 822 Bay Street and 94.5 The Coast in Habersham.

Call (843) 525-6257 for more information. To compete, visit the SCBA or Friends of Caroline website for a registration form or contact Maura@ friendsofcarolinehospice.com.

JB McCarty was the grand champion winnner at last year’s Bands, Brews & BBQ.

Champion. “And the cookers compete seriously for the coveted prizes that are awarded by the best trained barbecue judges in the nation,” states Lake High.

Says Quentin, “The training to be a SCBA certified judge is rigorous and precise. The emphasis is on consistency and fairness. You must first attend a seminar and then judge at four events, sampling meat, and learning how to score but your first scores don’t count. Then you are awarded an SCBA Certified Judge ranking. We became Senior Judges and Marshals last year and our goal this year is to become Master Judges, the highest judging status in the SCBA.” Being a SCBA certified judge is not a paid position, but it is a gratifying one. “We’ve been to so many SC towns we’ve never visited before. Each town’s festival benefits a great cause, specific to each community,” says Barbara. “We’re so excited to be the SCBA Marshals in our hometown at Bands, Brews & BBQ which benefits Friends of Caroline Hospice.”

Quentin agrees, adding “We’re looking forward to seeing a big crowd in Port Royal Friday night at the

Wing Throw-down and then Saturday afternoon at the barbecue event. This is an opportunity for the public to sample ‘Que from some of the best cooks in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. Plus there is live music and entertainment for the kids.”

Bands Brews & BBQ is a major fundraiser for Friends of Caroline Hospice, a nonprofit organization that offers end-of-life services. The organization does not ask for money from its patients or rely on insurance or government programs. Its main form of fundraising is through donations and community events, including Bands, Brews & BBQ.

lunch bunch Like a fiesta in your mouth, experience the authentic Mexican food at

RANCHO GRANDE

By Pamela Brownstein

On a brisk January afternoon, there’s nothing like warming up your senses with the sight, smell and taste of great Mexican food. Which is why the Lunch Bunch found itself cozied in among the many other locals for lunch at Rancho Grande on Lady’s Island.

As soon as we sat down, I couldn’t stop eating the chips and salsa, and especially the cheese dip, it is so good.

Kim had the fish tacos made with grilled fish and topped with red cabbage, pico de gallo and chipolte creamy sauce.

She finished them all and said they were quite tasty.

the home chef ... on orange-glazed salmon

Carteret Street, Beaufort ▪ 5 pm Jeremy Denk Piano

Edward Arron Host and Cello

By Harlene Deane This salmon recipe is without a doubt one of my new favorites.

Fresh fish is definitely the way to go with this one, but if you’re unsure of availability or quality, frozen works just fine. orange-glazed salmon Ingredients Serves: 4 • 3 tbsp. Cajun seasoning* • 1 tsp. brown sugar • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt • 4 boneless, skinless salmon fillets (about 6 oz. each) • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil • 1/4 cup orange marmalade • 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice • Lime wedges *Emeril’s seasoning

Directions Combine Cajun seasoning, sugar and salt in a small bowl. Rub over all surfaces of fillets. Saute fillets in oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn and saute an additional 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook! Blend marmalade and lime juice; swirl in skillet until melted. Carefully turn fish to glaze on all sides. Serve with lime wedges.

Not only is this recipe fast, but also low in calories. Only 315 calories per fillet ... bon appetit!

Testimonial

We are retirees with modest computer knowledge. Our home computer failed suddenly and a friend recommended Jared Collins of Digital Remedi. Jared responded promptly, coming to our home to evaluate our computer which was non-repairable.

He made a fair proposal for replacement, explaining the features of the new upgraded computer. He transferred the contents of our old hard drive and installed the new computer. Most importantly, he was patient with our many questions both at the time of installation and subsequently when we needed additional explanation. And he was always readily available. I highly recommend Jared and Digital Remedi for computer services. ~ David Nelson

Just got my laptop back from Digital Remedi! Thanks so much for the great and quick service! ~ Matthew Snow

My laptop is running faster then ever now that Digital Remedi looked it over. I recommend this guy to everyone with computer or any technology needs! Thank you again! ~ David Duffy Y’all should totally hit up Digital Remedi. He knows what he’s doing :) ~ Carla Bland I recommend hitting this good fella up. He knows...so much. ~ Michael Pitt

Over Hill, Over Dale

By Celia Strong

“Over hill, over dale” is part of an old Army marching song called The Caisson Song. But, somehow, it’s the perfect drinking song for us this week.

There have always been drinking songs, especially in European countries. I’ve never been sure why, though. It seems we can manage to drink quite happily without singing. And quite enough, too. But this is the perfect tune to complement our wine of the week.

For the first time, we’re going to South Africa, a country whose wine industry dates back to 1659. The Dutch East India Company, a huge trading company that also did a lot of exploring in the guise of finding new trade routes and new items to make profits trading on, set up a supply station in what is now Cape Town. A Dutch surgeon, Jan van Riebeeck, was the first manager of the station. He planted the first vineyards and made wine to help the sailors coming through the station ward off scurvy. His first harvest and crush were in 1659. A vineyard near Cape Town, Constantia, was once considered one of the greatest wines in the world.

Today, the vineyards are centered around Cape Town, with major wine production centers in Paarl, Stellenbosch and Worcester. There are 60 appellations in the South African Wine of Origin (WO) system — they are legal designations that were enacted in 1973, with a hierarchy of regions, districts and wards. WO wines must be made with 100 percent of the grape named on a wine label; single vineyard wines must come from a defined area that is smaller than five hectares (a hectare is just less than two and a half acres); an “estate wine” can use grapes from adjoining farms, as long as they are farmed together and the wine is made on site; and a “ward” is an area with a distinctive soil type and/or climate. The WO system is more concerned with label accuracy and does not regulate which grape varieties can grow where, how may vines are allowed per hectare, trellising or volume of crop yields.

Most of this country’s wine regions are located on the coast where the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean influence

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

It’s hard to lose weight (No, it’s not!)

Simply put, if your dog is overweight it is eating more calories than it needs. Set all excuses aside — excessive weight in an otherwise healthy pet is a direct result of consuming unnecessary amounts of food.

So, how do you help your Best Friend drop a few pounds? It’s really simple: after recording an accurate pre-diet weight, reduce your dog’s daily ration by one-third. That total should include all treats, snacks, or additions. Re-weigh in two weeks. If after two weeks you find that your dog has lost even a little weight, you’re on the right track — keep up this schedule! If no weight loss is evident, again reduce his/her food intake by onethird and re-weigh in two weeks.

Given that you are already feeding your dog a balanced, healthy diet, feeding less is not going to change anything other than his weight. Healthy dogs do not necessarily need to eat every day, contrary to how the pet food industry has painted the picture for us of the “eager eater.”

Most overweight or obese dogs have slow metabolisms. They simply don’t burn off those calories very fast and, in fact, don’t generally have “eager eater” appetites.

Because of this slow metabolism, though, they don’t require very much so “just a little

BowWOW!

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

extra” will make a big difference over a period of time.

Resist the temptation to put your buddy on a special, and usually more expensive “diet” kibble for your convenience. These diets have very restricted fat levels to reduce the calories but by necessity have increased the carbohydrate percentages.

This increased carbohydrate stimulates additional insulin secretion, which tells the body to store unused calories as fat. As such, there are some dogs that actually gain weight on “reduced calorie” weight loss diets. As my mom, the dietician, points out, it’s usually fat people who are drinking the diet sodas.

She’s right.

Just to give you an idea of what is actually in a “lite” kibble, here are the top ingredients in the most prescribed

diet dog food: ground whole grain corn, soybean mill run, chicken byproduct meal, powdered cellulose, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, chicken liver flavor, soybean oil, lactic acid ... and so on into the endless list of things we can’t pronounce, anyway. (Soybean mill run is composed of soybean hulls and such bean meats that stick to the hulls; chicken by-product meal is dried oogly bits once the good stuff is removed; transparent definition of powdered cellulose would be “sawdust.”) Short of the convenience and implied good-doing of offering your fat pet this stuff, know that there is absolutely nothing in this that will nourish him or help him lose weight. Avoid it.

And finally, there’s now a weight-loss drug for dogs. Really. In 2007, Pfizer

presented a new drug called Slentrol, a liquid to be mixed into a dog’s food. It suppresses the animal’s appetite and interferes with the body’s ability to absorb fat. (Think Alli, the human diet drug with the interesting side effect of anal leakage.) Pfizer claims if given regularly, it can cause that animal to lose 18 percent of its weight — nearly one-fifth — in six months when used in conjunction with a diet and exercise plan. Side effects are vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. One wonders if the drug actually works or if the animal is losing weight because it doesn’t want to eat because it feels crummy all the time.

Why put your Best Friend through that?

Bottom line is that we humans are always looking for the easy way, the quick fix, the pill to make it all better right now. Your dog is fat because you made him fat. Sorry, that’s the truth.

Your job as his Best Friend is to fulfill your portion of the pet/owner contract — he’ll give you his all, but in return you have to do the best you can for his health, his happiness and his well-being.

Good food, not too much and a run in the woods will lead to a longer, leaner and more enjoyable life for both of you.

How far do you have to go for advanced heart care?

When Kent Easty’s “flu” was a heart attack in disguise, he was glad to be near South Carolina’s first Duke-affiliated heart center. Here, his cardiologist used an innovative radial approach to cardiac catheterization which starts from the wrist instead of the leg. Kent later learned the easier-on-the-body diagnostic procedure is so advanced, it’s not available in many large cities.

Now Kent knows the first place to look for the latest care is here in local waters.
