New BMH cancer center opens Thursday
Beaufort Memorial Hospital — in partnership with Alliance Oncology, a division of Alliance HealthCare Services, and the Medical University of South Carolina Health System (MUSC Health) — will officially open its new Keyserling Cancer Center on Thursday, Jan. 17, in the Beaufort Medical Plaza, bringing all of the hospital’s cancer services under one roof. Relocated from Port Royal, the new cancer center will make it more convenient for patients to navigate the complex journey from cancer diagnosis to treatment. In addition to medical and radiation oncology, the center will offer easy access to lab, imaging, infusion and breast health services.
“We’re excited about the many benefits the new center provides to the community,” said Beaufort Memorial President & CEO Russell Baxley. “Now that we’ve consolidated services in one location we can focus on adding access to sub-specialists, support services and more to our cancer program.” The new joint venture expands the collaboration BMH has had with MUSC, providing expertise in sub-specialties not available in Beaufort. Initiated in 2016, the affiliation with the National Cancer Institute-designated Hollings Cancer Center at MUSC has allowed BMH patients to participate in groundbreaking clinical trials studying promising new cancer drugs and
treatments. Thanks to its new partnership with Alliance Oncology, BMH was able to upgrade to the state-of-the-art TrueBeam radiotherapy system, one of the most powerful and precise radiation therapy delivery systems available. “We’re now offering the same advanced technology and protocols available at leading cancer centers,” said board-certified radiation oncologist Jonathan Briggs, M.D., Medical Director of Radiation Oncology Services. “It makes it so much easier for patients when they can receive their treatment close to home.” The new Beaufort Memori-

More than 200 Dataw Island residents and locals braved brisk weather Saturday morning for the “New Year, New You” Resolution Run, but one runner — and her two companions — stole the spotlight. Rachel Bowling, a 30-yearold nurse, set the world record for a female runner pushing a double stroller in a 10K with an impressive time of 42 minutes, 34 seconds — while pushing her two daughters, 3-year-old Addy and 1-yearold Autumn in an Guinness Book of World Records-approved stroller. Bowling easily broke the standing record of 44:45 and finished nearly seven minutes ahead of the second female competitor in the 10K race, which was new to the annual event this year. Barbara Krakehl, Race Director, said that adding a 10k was a big draw for local racers, especially with the added excitement of a world-record attempt. “It is really exciting to have a record set here on Dataw Island,” Krakehl said. “Adding the 10k really added a level of competition that drew more local runners. We were thrilled to support Rachel in going for the record.” A record of number of dogs also competed. The run/walk is coordinated each year by an all-volunteer group of Dataw Island members to benefit the Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity. Weaving throughout the natural landscapes of the residential community located just outside historic Beaufort, the participants were joined by many furry friends, and enjoyed scenic views of some of the island’s feathered friends as well. Now in its eighth year, the event raised both awareness

Off-duty Burton Fire Chief saves man during Disney vacation

B
attalion Chief Matthew Maichel of the Burton Fire District was in vacation mode when his life-saving instincts were called upon. Maichel was on a family vacation at Walt Disney World in Florida recently with his wife, three kids and his mother-inlaw and father-in-law. The family had arrived early to be among the first guests to enter Disney’s Animal Kingdom when Maichel had to switch off vacation mode. “We were waiting in line for the doors to open and 50 feet in front of me a lady started yelling for help,” Maichel recalled. “As I approached, there were already a couple of bystanders there. There was also a gentleman, about 60 years old, lying on the ground in full cardiac arrest.” Battalion Chief Matthew Maichel of the Burton Fire District Maichel said he and a few others initiated CPR. “We had to switch off three or until Orlando Fire and EMS showed A couple seconds later one of the four times,” Maichel said of their ex- up and transported the man to a Disney employees showed up with hausting efforts. hospital. an Automatic External DefibrillaThe man came around once. “I’m not really sure of the outcome tor.

I don’t even know the initiated CPR compressions, while and we had to start all over.” name of the doctor I worked with.” Maichel said they continued CPR Maichel did the breathing. Maichel said that although he
has performed CPR numerous times as a firefighter, he’s never done it off-duty. “I was trained and a bad situation happened to someone and I was able to help,” he said. “I guess it’s true, we are never ‘off duty.’” Maichel is the third Burton firefighter to be recognized for saving a life while off-duty. In 2016, Burton Lieutenant Ethan Webb was recognized for saving the life of a woman while off-duty by administrating CPR, and in 2017 Burton Deputy Chief Tom Webb was recognized for responding off-duty to save the lives of two kayakers who capsized near his home. The Burton Fire District has recently been designated an American Heart training facility, providing first aid and CPR training to the public and businesses. Training officers can also train citizens to be instructors themselves. If you are interested in learning first aid and CPR, becoming an instructor, or would like more information on the program, call the Burton Fire District at 843-255-8011 or email safetyed@burtonfd.org.

Burton Firefighters recognize accomplishments in 2018 The Burton Fire District held its annual awards banquet on Saturday, Jan. 12, at the Traditions restaurant on Parris Island. The top honor went to Assistant Fire Chief Brian Wagner, who was named Officer of the Year. Chief Wagner is the district’s Medical Training Officer overseeing the district’s Basic and Advanced Life Support programs. Chief Wagner was noted for upgrading the district’s medical program for both firefighters and the public. Specifically, with more than 65 percent of the emergency calls involving a medical emergency, Chief Wagner initiated the district’s new Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program, increasing the skills of district EMTs and enabling them to deliver more advanced medical treatment to citizens. Chief Wagner also upgraded the district’s hazardous materials capability, and he oversees the hazardous materials response team for north of the Broad River. His peers universally applaud him for taking the Burton Fire District “to the next level.” Firefighter of the Year went to Firefighter/EMT Charles Wilson. Wilson has only been with the Burton Fire District a year and a half, but his peers have stated that in such a short time, he has made a major impact

Center from page A1
al Keyserling Cancer Center is located next to the hospital in the three-story Beaufort Medical Plaza at 989 Ribaut Road. The first floor of the center includes radiation oncology, chemotherapy/infusion services, imaging and the Breast Health Center, in addition to the office of Dr. Briggs. The outpatient laboratory is on the second floor, and the office of board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Mark Newberry is on the third floor. Board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Majd Chahin, chief investigator for the clinical trials program, will continue to see patients in his office at 1680 Ribaut Road in Port Royal.
Like its predecessor, the bright, spacious on-campus center makes inspired use of the healing arts in its design and furnishings. The large, transporting Lowcountry images of photographer Will Gresham are featured throughout. Named in honor of physician Herbert Keyserling, who served on the Beaufort Memorial Hospital medical staff for more than 50 years, the Keyserling Cancer Center opened in 2006 offering a team approach to cancer care. Accredited as a Community Cancer Program, it received Accreditation with Commendation — the highest level of endorsement — from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer in 2016 for providing patients with high-quality, coordinated care from the time they are diagnosed to the end
of treatment. The new Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center takes the team approach to a new level with both core and ancillary cancer services now in one building, enhancing the multidisciplinary model that has shown to improve outcomes. In the coming year, Beaufort Memorial’s general surgeons will relocate their offices to the building, allowing them to more seamlessly coordinate care with the rest of the cancer team. In addition, the hospital plans to open a second cancer center in its soon-to-be-constructed Bluffton Medical Campus near Okatie Crossing. The facility is expected to open in 2020.

and money for Habitat. The fundraising resulting from the event has been instrumental in the completion of a full Dataw-sponsored Habitat house and ground was broke for a second Dataw house this past fall. Krakehl, herself a Dataw member, has run the event for eight years, driven by her compassion and appreciation for the important work that Habitat for Humanity does in Beaufort County. “Home ownership is directly tied to a strong community, and with housing costs in Beaufort Country the highest in the state, the lack of affordable housing opportunities creates a need that Habitat does a great job of fulfilling,” she said.
Families who are selected to receive a Habitat for Humanity house are required to participate in the build and will carry an affordable mortgage upon completion. As part of the “sweat equity” in contributing to their home, “family partner” volunteers helped at the race again this year. “The support really is amazing,” Krakehl said. “From the support from Habitat, the volunteers, the sponsors, Grounded Running, all the health care providers at the Health Fair, even the Dataw security team who coordinated traffic around runners, I am very grateful to all those who help make this event a success.” The fun kicked off on Friday afternoon at the Dataw Community Center with various clubs & organizations gathering for a Health Fair, which offered lots of opportunities

22nd annual Southern Coast Heart Ball Set for Feb. 2
The American Heart Association (AHA) will host the 22nd Annual Southern Coast Heart Ball on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 6 p.m. at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa. The annual black-tie gala, chaired by Catherine Donaldson of Celia Dunn Sotheby’s International Realty, will celebrate life-saving advances made in the Lowcountry over the last 22 years. Donaldson is chairing in honor of her hus-
band, who served in the U.S. Army Reserves and died of a heart attack in 2016. “This year’s theme is very special to the Southern Coast community. It represents our heroes in the community, from our veterans and survivors to our caretakers and first responders, and that is the American Heart Association’s mission, to end heart disease and stroke,” Donaldson said. The Southern Coast Heart
Ball will bring together more than 400 guests from the corporate, philanthropic and medical communities to celebrate 2018’s accomplishments while raising funds to further the AHA’s mission. Guests will enjoy an evening of dining, dancing and live entertainment as well as live and silent auctions. The event will celebrate the heart association’s mission, supporters and volun-
teers while honoring lives saved or improved because of the work of the AHA and the generosity of the Lowcountry and Savannah communities. In addition, guests will hear the story of Lilly Cochran, who was born with several congenital heart defects. The event also will honor her father, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, who had heart disease. Thanks to the generosi-
ty of local institutions and businesses such as Legacy Sponsor Audi Hilton Head and Signature Sponsor Hilton Head Regional Healthcare, the Heart Ball is able to fund cardiovascular research, professional and public education, school site programs and advocacy efforts throughout the year. Despite advancements in the fight against heart disease and stroke, heart dis-
ease remains the number one cause of death among U.S. citizens. In South Carolina, strokes are the fifth-leading cause of death. Nationally, nearly 2,200 people die each day from cardiovascular disease, an average of one death every 39 seconds.

dwindling populations are left to keep the congregations active. Fitzpatrick has generously donated the publishing rights and proceeds from the sale of the book to Preservation South Carolina for the purposes of creating an Endangered Sacred Spaces Fund that will be utilized to provide grants to help slow deterioration and to offer resources to develop a future for the buildings, whatever that may be. “History is embedded in the timbers of these churches,” said Mike Bedenbaugh, Executive Director of Preservation South Carolina.

Your Estate Planning Checklist: 10 Documents to Get Started
If you’ve been dragging your feet when it comes to estate planning, you aren’t alone. According to a 2017 survey by Caring.com, nearly six out of 10 American adults lack even basic estate-planning documents. Even if you’ve put some documents together, are you sure you have what you need? “Anyone who has assets needs to get organized and engage in estate planning for the benefit of those they leave behind,” says John F. Padberg, Planning & Life Events Specialist at Wells Fargo Advisors. “While each person has unique circumstances to plan for, there are some key documents that can form the foundation for most estate plans.” The 10 documents outlined here can serve as that base set. Six of the 10 are best kept as signed hard copies; the remaining four can be stored digitally, if you wish. Signed documents to safeguard as hard copies: • Will. This important set of instructions directs assets that you own individually
(with no beneficiary designation), can designate a guardian for minors, and appoints an executor to administer your estate after you pass. You may opt to send copies to certain interested individuals, but keep the signed original in a secure place, like a safe deposit box, that’s known to people who will need access to it, such as an executor or close family members. • Power of attorney (POA) for financial matters. This POA names someone you trust as the person to help manage your financial affairs. It could be structured to become effective at the time you sign it or could be triggered to take effect upon becoming incapacitated. • Durable power of attorney for health care. This POA appoints an agent to make medical decisions for you if you can’t make them yourself. • Health Insurance Portability and Account-

USCB to host career fair
The USCB Career and Graduate School Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 5 on the Bluffton Campus. Registration will close Jan. 19. “Employers will have the opportunity to compare their needs with the skillsets of our students and alumni,” says Leta Salazar, director of career services at USCB. “For their part, students will find a wide range of internships and part-time and full-time
ability Act (HIPAA) release authorization. As a stand-alone document or as part of other documents, such as a durable POA for health care, this privacy-related document allows you to explicitly declare who should have access to your important medical information. • Living will. Also called an advance directive, these instructions dictate your wishes about prolonging your life in cases like a terminal illness or if you’re in a permanent incapacitated state. • Revocable living trust. Like a will, this document also directs how your assets will pass to your beneficiaries, but it may be funded during your lifetime and can provide for incapacity planning, as well. A revocable trust can provide some benefits that you wouldn’t typically get with a will, with more privacy and without the costs and hassle of probate court.
job opportunities at the fair.” Career Services is part of a network of support services provided by the university’s Department of Student Development. Career-service professionals are available to assist USCB students in resolving a wide variety of career-related issues and assisting employers by conducting career fairs twice a year and providing individualized campus recruiting and internship development. Employers may register for a booth at the Career and Graduate School Fair by contacting Leta Salazar at 843208-8263 or writing careerservices@uscb.edu.
Documents that you can keep in a digital format: • Current net worth statement. This lists all of your assets and liabilities and what they’re worth. You could even include how various assets are titled. A net worth statement can be a big help in the process of getting organized, reveal the true scope of your estate, and provide your advisors with a very useful tool as they work to put together a customized plan for you. It can also save your successors significant work in figuring out all that you have. Keep this document updated so that it reflects current information about all of your accounts, real estate, liabilities, and other items. • List of professional advisors. Includes contact information for important advisors, such as your financial advisor, attorney, CPA, insurance agents, and doctors. • Medical condition record. This is an informal
way to let your trusted agent know about your health status when there’s a need. • A guide to these documents (both physical and digital). Those you’ll leave behind will appreciate a simple catalog of all the estate-planning documents you've prepared and their locations so they can find them without hassle. “This list is a good place to start, especially for those who haven’t prepared any estate-planning documents at all,” Padberg says. “But remember that each plan is different, and there certainly could be a need for other items, especially as the level of planning gets more sophisticated.” With the assistance of your financial advisor and estate-planning attorney, you can get a basic estate plan put in place, and, as appropriate, discuss other strategies for preserving wealth. A financial advisor can talk you through options that can save you time and money when you sit down with an attorney.
One final important tip: Set a time on your calendar for a regular review to keep all these documents up to date. Trust services available through banking and trust affiliates in addition to non-affiliated companies of Wells Fargo Advisors.

Beaufort-Jasper Realtors report for December
fourth interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in 2018 spooked the stock market to close out the year. The Fed has indicated that the number of rate increases in 2019 will be halved, which may be of little comfort to an already compressed consumer. New Listings were up 12.7 percent to 160. Pending Sales increased 10.9 percent to 143, the seventh consecutive month of year-over-year gains. Inventory grew 23.3 percent to 1,095 units. Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 5.2 percent to $252,500. Days on Market increased 59.7
percent to 99 days. Months Supply of Inventory was up 14.0 percent to 5.7 months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand. Unemployment rates remained remarkably low again in 2018, and wages continued to improve for many U.S. households. It is generally good for all parties involved in real estate transactions when wages grow, but the percentage of increase, on average, has not kept pace with home price increases. This created an affordability crux in the second half of 2018. Housing affordability will remain an important storyline in 2019.
Home prices were consistently up again in most markets in 2018 but at reduced levels compared to recent years, according to the Beaufort-Jasper County Realtors’ December market report. High demand for few homes for sale fueled price increases, but evidence is mounting that inventory will finally improve in 2019. This may apply some downward pressure on prices for beleaguered home buyers. A

Lowcountry squad stuns Coastal Empire stars in Blitz Border Bowl
By Justin Jarrett The big names and the big-time college offers were all on one side of the 2nd annual Blitz Border Bowl, leading most folks to believe the Coastal Empire stars would once again handle their Lowcountry counterparts with ease. The boys from the Palmetto State took that personally. And a crew of players who are scratching and clawing to get college coaches — any college coaches — to check them out withstood an early barrage, then owned the fourth quarter en route to a stunning 35-34 win Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Coastal Empire stars showed early why most everyone expected them to have the upper hand. New Hampstead’s Deyandre Ruffin tossed a 78yard strike to West Virginia commit Winston Wright (Memorial Day) on a trick play on the team’s first offensive series,
and the Georgia squad marched down the field again on its second series, culminating in Wright’s 10-yard touchdown reception from Windsor Forest’s Eric Phoenix. The Lowcountry’s strength figured to be its ground game, with Wade Hampton’s Pernell Maxwell running behind a big, strong offensive line, but South Carolina had to go to the air to find a weakness in the Coastal Empire’s defense. Battery Creek’s Jordan Gwyn connected with Colleton County’s Shykem Chisolm for a 33-yard pass to loosen up the defense, then hit Thomas Heyward’s Trey Pusha over the middle for a 21-yard touchdown to give the Lowcountry life. The offensive success seemed to give the Lowcountry defense a newfound confidence, and Wade Hampton defensive lineman Sheldrick Gibbs’ interception set up Pusha’s second TD grab — a
beautiful, toe-tapping 10-yard fade from Whale Branch’s C.J. Brown to tie it at 14 before halftime. It seemed as though the Lowcountry’s valiant effort might fall short when the Coastal Empire came out of the locker room swinging and regained the lead on Memorial Day star Delvecchio Powell’s 60-yard catch-andrun from Phoenix, followed by his high school teammate Julian Roberts scooping up a fumble and racing 54 yards to make it 27-14. Gwyn pulled his team off the canvas again, though, and threw a strike downfield for game MVP Pusha, who ran under it and ran away for a 66-yard score. Phoenix and Wright torched the secondary again for a 74-yard touchdown to put the Lowcountry back in a 13-point hole going to the fourth quarter, but the South
Dolphins begin region play Battery Creek’s basketball teams split their Region 8-3A games against visiting Lake Marion on Tuesday, Jan. 8. The BCHS boys managed to hang on to a slim lead and come away with a 50-42 win, improving their record to 2-11 overall. DeNarol Brown had 10 points and five assists to lead the Dolphins, while Myles Middleton collected nine points and 10 rebounds, and Obi Wilson had nine points and four blocks. The Dolphin girls lost 51-48 to the Gators after tying the
game at 38 with 6:19 left in the fourth quarter. The girls’ overall record dropped to 4-9. Starr Reed had 12 points and seven rebounds to lead the Dolphins, while Myra Smith scored eight points, and Dazanni Hinton added six points and eight rebounds. Both Dolphins teams lost their region matchups at Ridgeland-Hardeeville on Friday. The boys lost 84-32, while the girls fell 33-30.

NATIONAL CHAMP
Carolina boys weren’t done yet. Maxwell capped a methodical drive with a rumbling 19yard touchdown run, and the Lowcountry defense delivered with two straight stops — including Whale Branch safety Kyshon Hipp’s second interception of the game — to give the offense one last chance. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty kept the drive going, and Maxwell’s 21-yard run set up Bluffton’s John Swinton for a 7-yard touchdown, setting off a wild celebration in the end zone and on the Lowcountry sideline. Jonathan Orr’s extra point gave the Lowcountry the lead, but the defense had to make one last stand. The Coastal Empire picked up a couple of big chunks to set up Richmond Hill’s Anthony Salazar for a 51-yard field goal try, but it came up well short,

VOICES
Even The Greats Need A Hand (And A Nan)
By Scott Graber Four years ago I found myself sitting next to Nan Talese at a dinner party hosted by Pat and Cassandra Conroy at their Beaufort home. Nan was then Pat’s editor at Doubleday and she was then, and is now, considered to be the very best editor in the United States. Nan’s clients include Ian McEwan, Margaret Atwood, Jennifer Egan and a host of other best-sell- Scott ing authors. I Graber don’t often sit next to Park Avenue editors and I was intimidated, unable to speak to the person who had received the first Maxwell Perkins Award in 2005.
I have a large inventory of anecdotes that I dust-off and deliver with some confidence. Those stories have served me well for most of my adult life. But here was a person who had worked on “Atonement,” “Schindler’s List” and “A Handmaid’s Tale.” I worried that my reliable portfolio of bourbon-centered, barbecue-scented mischief would not measure up. In utter desperation I asked her when — after getting hold of the “Prince of Tides” manuscript — did she decide this was a great novel? Nan stared at me without saying anything for 30 seconds then said, “I got through the first 200 pages and still didn’t have a clue what his
novel was about. In a lastditch effort to understand what was going on I put postit notes on my bedroom wall. “Sticky notes that had forward-pointing arrows meant that these passages moved the story forward,” she continued. “Arrows pointing backward indicated that these chapters were flashbacks. Double backward-pointing arrows denoted that this was a double flashback.” After a sip from her glass of Pinot Noir she looked at me and said, “There were very few forward-pointing arrows.” Pat was not frugal or penurious when it came to the use of adjectives, adverbs or description. He was often accused of “overwriting.” According to Bernie Schein,

Pat was not frugal or penurious when it came to the use of adjectives, adverbs or description. He was often accused of “overwriting.”
“The Prince of Tides” should have been three books. “But Nan found the story, created connections. She was just dazzling. Magnificent,” he said. Nan’s work also involved getting Pat to produce, to write, especially when Pat was slow in getting “Beach Music” off the ground. In those days Pat was living on Fripp Island and was spending a lot of time walking the beach and wondering if he had a future as a writer. Nan decided she would lure Pat to New York, lock him in a hotel room, and compel him to write if he wanted to eat. Nan told Pat that if he produced a certain number of pages, she would have a young, beautiful, Doubleday writer or B-list celebrity take him to dinner each night. The problem was that her favorite restaurant — Elaine’s — was Pat’s least favorite. He didn’t like the celebrities, or their palpable sense of privilege and their obvious desperation for a table where they would be seen. He preferred Chinese take-out brought up to his room at the Surrey Hotel. From time to time Nan and Pat had disagreements about what should stay (in
his books) and what should be cut out. This was especially true when Pat was writing about his Citadel basketball team in “My Losing Season.” The memoir began by recounting the miserable 196667 season and an authoritarian coach who destroyed a team that might have done much better. Nan was not at all certain that the game of basketball — and a team that spent its timing whining or weeping about their coach — was a subject that could sustain the reader’s interest — and Nan was not shy about telling Pat what she thought about his “basketball book.” “These days it is rare to find an editor who has the time to nurture a young writer, let alone acquire a promising manuscript that requires a great deal of work,” says Marly Rusoff, who was Pat’s literary agent. “Today, most writers starting out end up hiring their own freelance editor before even finding an agent, but even best-selling authors often hire outside editorial help, paying them $20,000 or more.” And that’s not the end of it. For most writers it’s necessary to hire an outside publicist — another $6,000 to $15,000 to supplement
what your publisher will do, and in addition writers must create an online presence, usually a website and perhaps a blog where one might chat-up one’s readers, costing both money and time. Yes, you’re going to spend time (and money) speaking to fiction-reading matrons at book clubs; sitting and hopefully signing at bookstores; and talking about your writing at assisted-living centers. The reality of publishing is that for the most part, until you are a bestselling author, the writer is going to do most, if not all, of the selling. It is clear that the collaboration between Nan and Pat was one of the most successful collaborations in modern American fiction. Nan’s job was to remove the non-essential words and gratuitous phrases, but to keep the substance and refine the poetry. It is clear that Pat needed Nan’s knife, and her sticky notes. But it is also true that Nan needed the mountain of hand-written pages, the mother-load of gemstone-larded rock that Pat brought to the equation.

teachers we all wished for in school. The teacher who greeted you enthusiastically and made you want to learn. Miss Nancy has so many stories of ways she encouraged students to learn and to have a good time. What a concept! One story she recently told was about gift exchanges at Christmas time. The children were not allowed to spend much money, but each child brought in something. She had them sit around in a circle with the wrapped present on their laps. Then she would start to tell a story. Within the story, there were phrases like, “then the boy took three steps to the left.” This would indicate that the children would each pass the gift in their hands three to the left. She would continue the story and say something like, “then the girl took five candies from the jar on the right and put one back.”
The story was entertaining and required them to pay attention. It had some math in it and they learned about right and left. Not only did they have fun, but they knew they would have a gift to open at the end. She also loved decorating her classrooms for the various holidays and took the opportunity to incorporate history, reading, and art all into one learning experience. Every time I hear about an activity or story from Miss Nancy, I am awed knowing there are teachers like her. She is the kind of teacher students come back and visit when they are older; the students who were inspired. There are many good teachers committed to their work and I was lucky to have had some of them. But I would have enjoyed going to school every day, if only Miss Nancy had been my teacher.

There have been many good teachers in my life. I was very lucky. When I hear stories from my friend about her teaching years, though, I am a bit jealous. Miss Nancy is retired now, but she was one of those teachers who combined learning with fun. I never had a teacher like her, probably because I was born in a different era. I recall going home from school and telling my mother and father I did not want to go back to school anymore because it was not fun. Both of my parents had the same not-so-sympathetic response, “Tough! You are not there to have fun, you are there to learn.” So, began my formal education. When I hear Miss Nancy talk about her students and teaching, her eyes light up. She was one of those

FOOD
By Sharon Cooper Schaum Torte is a German meringue dessert, virtually unknown outside of Wisconsin but is widely known
to Milwaukee residents of German descent. Schaum Torte is the German equivalent of Pavlova. The popular Wisconsin dish was brought
there by German/Austrian immigrants during the period of 1839-1850. Various references give its origin as German, but there are arguments
for immigrants to Wisconsin coming from both modern-day Germany and Austria in 18391850’s. The name of this meringue dessert, a torte, is also commonly called “schaumtorte” or “schaumtorten” and the loose translation of the recipe is “foam cake.”1 The dish is very similar to a dessert known as “Pavlova”, which is popular in Australia and New Zealand. “Pavlova” created in 1920’s, created in either Australia or New Zealand was named for the famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova, after a guest performance. While these desserts look nearly identical, Pavlova contains corn starch and Schaum Torte does not.2 Many of our grandparents, including my maternal grandmother, made Schaum Torte topped with fruit and ice cream for special occasions,
and the dessert is also popular at the many local German restaurants in Wisconsin. Whether you make a full size Schaum Torte or the miniature “cookies” version that I show here, Schaum Torte is a sweet dessert worth trying! MY GRANDMOTHER’S SCHAUM TORTE RECIPIE Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 55 minutes Serves: 16 (cookies) INGREDIENTS: 6 egg whites (room temp.) 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 teaspoon cream of tarter INSTRUCTIONS: Beat eggs until stiff peaks form. Add sugar, a little at 1 2
a time while beating. Add cream of tartar, vinegar and vanilla. Drop by tablespoons (or you can use a cookie scoop), on to a greased cookie sheet. Leave enough room as the meringue will puff out. Also, when you drop them on to the cookie sheet, make an indentation in the center so there is a hollow area for berries or ice cream. Bake at 250 degrees for 55 minutes. After cooled, I top with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, a dollop of whip cream and a sprig of fresh mint. NUTRITION FACTS: Calories: 1,661 Protein: 68 g Carbs: 1,574 g Fat: 19 g

Easy Does It In January
By Celia Strong Certain times of the calendar year are marked by deals from wineries. On our calendars, January is a slower, more restful time than the months preceding it. Time to regroup, re-energize and take it easy. On the viticulture calendar, January is also a slower time. In the vineyards, the grapes have all Celia been picked Strong and the vines are getting ready to rest over the winter. And inside the winery, fermentation is done, settling and fining are slow processes, and bottling is a couple of months, or even years, away. With all this in mind, it’s pretty easy to see why a lot of good deals come along at this time of year. A 2019 deal comes to us from Franciscan Estate. A Napa Valley wine producer located in St. Helena — California, not Lady’s Island. Franciscan was established by Justin Meyer from Silver Oak and August Huneeus from Quintessa — both Napa Valley red wine icons. They produced their first vintage in 1973. Magnificat was the Franciscan showpiece, a red
blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon. Then came their Napa Cabernet. But talented winemaking can also produce excellent white wines, like the Franciscan Chardonnay and the Franciscan Sauvignon Blanc. This pair is usually underappreciated, but we are about to fix that. Franciscan Chardonnay was always a work of love at the winery. Their style was fresh and fruity and intense, with richness and opulence from malo-lactic fermentation, sur lie aging and a judicious use of oak. This wine is a warm deep golden shade, toasted oak, stewed pear, sugar and vanilla aromas and flavors. Underneath, there are subtle tropical fruits, pineapple, lemon and mango. A hint of minerality on the finish makes it a terrific wine with balance and complexity. Franciscan always stressed the importance of using specific yeast strains in their fermenting in order to augment certain flavors and textures in the finished wine. This wine proves they are right. Over the years, Franciscan Chardonnay has gone from just a Napa appellation, using grapes from Carneros and southern Napa, to a combined Napa-Monterey designation. By adding in fruit from
Arroyo Secco and San Bernabe, more tropical notes come to the wine, as well as freshness and complexity. Regular price on this wine is $14.99. As rich and opulent as Franciscan Chardonnay is, their Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine at the opposite end of the flavor, texture and body spectrums. This wine is a pale gold color. It is full of bright acidity and loaded with many citrus aromas and flavors, plus apples, pears and lychee nuts. Clean and refreshing and tighter and drier than the Chard. This wine has also transitioned from its original, strictly Napa Valley appellation, where it was based on Oakville and Stags Leap District grapes (sources for lime, lemongrass and minerality) to a combined Napa-Monterey wine with San Bernabe and Santa Lucia Highlands grapes (tropical and riper citrus characteristics). Definitely a fruit forward wine, this Sauvignon Blanc has often been hard to find. Regular price is $14.99. But, in keeping with our January “easy does it” plan, and deals being deals, both these wine are now $9.97, for as long as the supply lasts. Now it is a Happy New Year! Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Reasons for Faith
Diamond Hunting at the Beach Can Science Disprove God?
Metal detectors are amazing, but they have limits.
Science cannot make moral judgments.
One often sees people on the beach after a storm, using a metal detector to find lost rings, coins, or other unexpected treasures that may have washed onto the shore. But if a large diamond were to fall out of a woman’s wedding ring, it would make no sense for her to try to find it with a metal detector. As useful as they are, metal detectors can’t be used to discover everything.
Science helps us describe the world, but it cannot help us decide what is good or bad, right or wrong. For example, scientific inquiry cannot answer whether it is right or wrong for people to steal, or whether a human life is more valuable than the life of an endangered animal. Scientific research can open up new possibilities, such as the ability to clone a human being, but it cannot tell us what we should do with this knowledge.
As wonderful as science is, it also has limits.
Modern science has brought us amazing breakthroughs in medicine, travel, communication, and comfort. Thanks to science, we can do things our ancestors couldn’t even imagine. But since science is the study of the natural world, this means that it is limited in its scope: scientific inquiry can only answer questions about matters that are observable in time and space.
Science cannot explain realities like love or beauty.
Scientists can observe the interactions between a mother and her child, but they cannot prove whether love exists between two people, or explain why it exists. Science can explain how the Grand Canyon was formed, but it cannot tell us whether or not it is beautiful. We know from experience that love and beauty are real, but such realities fall outside the purview of science. Science cannot answer questions concerning God or religion.
Since science only examines the physical, natural world, it cannot give answers to supernatural questions such as, “Does God exist?” By definition, God is outside of space and time and thus beyond the limits of science. Science cannot be used to prove or disprove God, any more than a metal detector can establish the presence of a diamond in the sand. There are reasons for faith in God.
If the woman in our example were looking for her diamond, she would search with other tools, such as a screen to sift through the sand. In a similar way, if we are to investigate God’s existence, we will need to employ avenues other than scientific research. In particular, we will need logical reasoning. In this message series, we will explore some of the reasons why it makes sense to believe in God.
