It’s the most anticipated invitation of the year — the Valentine Ball dinner party.

Organizers of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation black tie gala will soon be making up the guest lists for some 50 private dinner parties that serve as the warm up for the main event. Two weeks before the Feb. 8 ball, invitations will be sent out to those who purchased tickets, revealing the dinner party they will attend.

“The pre-ball dinner parties are so much fun,” said Allison Coppage, who is co-hosting one of the parties at her Lady’s Island home with husband, Ben, and friends Elizabeth and Andy Klosterman.

“Everyone pulls out their best china and crystal. It’s an elegant, intimate affair.”

To get an invitation, you need to purchase your ticket by Jan. 15.

For Kathleen Jackson and Jimmy Armstrong of Lady’s Island, January 1, 2014 was more than the start of a new year — it was their new baby’s birthday. At 8:32 p.m. on New Year’s Day, Jaylin Carter Armstrong arrived at Beaufort Memorial, the first baby born at the hospital in 2014. Jaylin, who weighed 7 lbs., 9 oz. and was 20 inches long, spent his first day with family and friends. His 6-year-old brother, Kayleb, looks forward to welcoming him home.

news news briefs BJWSA manager to be guest speaker to LIBPA

Mr. Ed Saxon, the General Manager of the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA), will be the guest speaker at the Tuesday, January 14 meeting of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association to be held at 8 a.m. in the Beaufort County Realtors Association Headquarters in the Palmetto Business Park on Lady’s Island Drive and is open to the public.

Saxon is a graduate of University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. After college he worked for DuPont followed by employment with Conoco until 1989 when he joined BJWSA as its chief engineer. In January 2013 he was appointed as the general manager. He is a registered S.C. Professional Engineer and presently serves as president of the South Carolina Water Association.

Mr. Saxon has been active in the community serving on the boards of the United Way of the Lowcountry and the Beaufort Chamber, past president of the Sea Island Rotary Club and was the 2001 Beaufort Water Festival Commodore.

He and his wife Melaine live on Lady’s Island and have three children and one grandchild.

Mr. Saxon has been requested to include in his discussion with our members the following subjects: • In the Beaufort and Jasper county area what steps should be taken to prepare for the water and sewer requirements of the next decade?

• What are the long range plans for water and sewer on Lady’s Island?

• On islands such as Lady’s Island, to protect the water quality, should sewer service be mandatory for all new development of a certain size?

• Are Beaufort and Jasper counties facing an eventual water crisis?

• With the anticipated growth south of the Broad River is salt water intrusion in the aquifer inevitable?

• Has the purchase of the Port Royal rail bed provided the benefits to BJWSA originally anticipated?

• What has been the impact of assuming responsibility for water and sewer services on the two local military bases?

Sheriff ’s Office investigating robbery

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the armed robbery of a Burton gas station.

At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 5, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to Sunhouse Petroleum (3448 Trask Pkwy) in reference to a robbery occurring moments earlier.

Upon arrival, deputies met with a 45-year-old female clerk who advised that an unknown black male had entered the store and asked for cigarettes. When she turned around to get them, the suspect stepped behind the counter and placed a gun to her back. After emptying the cash registers, the suspect fled the store, leaving the clerk unharmed.

The suspect was described as a black male between 25-30 years old, approximately 5’07”, 170 pounds, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a black “Yankees” baseball cap.

The Sheriff ’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact either Investigator Sgt. J. Kelleher at 843-2553418 or Crimestoppers.

Your kids on holiday: Part II Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon

By Danette Vernon

If your 2-year-old has yet to learn the meaning of Barney’s “Clean Up” song, your 4-year-old is still in Pull-Up’s, your 8-year-old demands you cut their meat at the dinner table, and your neighbors roll their eyes when they find out any of your children will be in attendance at local birthday parties, you might be in trouble.

The problem is that you’re so tired all of the time, and to be honest, you were the same way when you were a child and you eventually grew out it. But it may have been a rude awakening when you

got married and the stuff that worked with your parents didn’t work so well on your spouse. So as you start the new year, it might be time to aim for a long-term peace with your children, as opposed to the short-term peace that a piece of candy buys you.

Setting a few limits now might save

your child from divorcee court later.

How do you do that?

The fundamentals are, of course, be consistent, and have rules in place that you are willing to adhere to. Beyond that, I decided early on to learn the “ABC’s” of my child’s behavior, for example, what was going to trigger my child. The ABC’s are as follows: Antecedents (hungry and tired); Behavior (loses temper more easily); Consequences, natural (you hit your brother, he hits you back), or judicial (you’re grounded).

It’s kind of like detective work, combined with the Biblical “eye for an eye” sort of parenting.

Then, I was handed a book called, “No More Meltdowns,” by Jed Baker, and it changed my life, or at least my behavior. That’s right, my first read through the book gave me some tips on how to manage MYSELF better, and the rationales for why I “act the way I do” in certain situations.

First, I assessed myself just as you would assess your child’s temperament, through the “nine dimensions of temperament.”

The assessment is kind of like a “Who Moved My Cheese” for children.

Next, I considered myself and the children I know. Do we tend towards dealing in facts, and therefore have a hard time with abstract thinking? For example, when it comes to any of your children, do they argue fiercely against

fairy tales situations such as, “cows can’t use typewriters!” as they can’t imagine it? If so, they may not be able to put themselves in another person’s shoes very easily — as they can’t imagine how the other person is feeling with any ease.

Finally, was I inflexible in my thinking?

If I want to go to my favorite restaurant, but it’s 11 a.m., and it doesn’t open until noon, do I waste time fuming, or do I consider my options? For me, it depends on the day. What about your child? Is waiting an issue?

Having to wait is one of the“Antecedents” identified by the author for meltdowns.

Others are internal or biological triggers (hungry or tired), lack of structure (you demand your child get their coat on, but they don’t know where they are going or why, or even where their coat is!), threats to self-image (feeling shame because they have made a mistake, or were being teased, or criticized), demands (requests to do homework, get out of bed, or kiss Aunt Bertha, etc.).

You can make sure your children are not hungry, or too tired, and explain why they need to do something, or distract them when they get out sorts when their favorite restaurant isn’t open. But they still have to do their homework and get out of bed, and sometimes politely decline kissing Aunt Bertha. So now what? Discover some answers in my next column in two weeks.

Party celebrates staying healthy and fit

By Pamela Brownstein

Last Saturday evening the local gym EarthFIT held an appreciation party for all its members as a way to say thank you for all their efforts and dedication toward health and growth. The guests, who ranged in age from 13 to 93 years old, were able to mingle with owner Ian Hart along with trainers Bojan, Jeff, Chris and Khadine at a lively party hosted by EarthFIT member Sam Levin at his lovely home in the Spanish Point neighborhood. Even though there was no alcohol (I guess that’s how healthy people stay thin), the event was catered by Debbi Covington so there was no shortage of delicious food. Ian also gave out awards for various accomplishments. Congratulations to the following: Nancy Vista for most inspirational; Karen Bowers for most dedicated; Darrah and Doug Beasley for fittest couple; Wallace and Catherine Scarborough for most dedicated couple; and Bob Riddel for most amazing transformation. Here are some pics from the event for you:

Trask and Gibson have both been involved with the annual fundraiser since its inception, with Gibson serving as co-chair of the first Valentine Ball.

continued from page 1 After the deadline, a committee will meet to select groups of four to 12 couples for each dinner, being careful to create different and diverse groups every year.

“The dinner parties are the highlight of the ball,” said Coppage’s mother, Cindy Collins, who will be hosting a party herself with husband Dr. Brad Collins. “You get the chance to socialize with folks that you normally wouldn’t meet. And you’re helping raise money for hospital needs that are not met through the regular budget.”

In addition to providing the venue for the parties and developing their own menu, hosts might decorate their homes in addition to underwriting all dinner costs, helping maximize proceeds to support Beaufort Memorial.

“Our friends and supporters have provided dinners for as many as 800 people,” said Foundation Executive Director Alice Moss. “It’s a huge part of our recipe for success.”

Since its inception 25 years ago, the Valentine Ball has raised nearly $4 million to improve services at the nonprofit hospital. This year, the money has been earmarked for the expansion of the Intensive Care Unit from eight to 12 beds.

The Beaufort Memorial Foundation board of trustees came up with the idea for the pre-ball parties as a way to entice participants to the inaugural event held in 1990.

“We thought people would be more likely to attend the ball if they had dinner with friends first and then went to the gala,” recalled Weezie Gibson, who was serving on the foundation board in 1990 and went on to co-chair the inaugural gala with her husband, Jim. “In later years, we changed it and began mixing up social groups for each party. That’s especially nice with a steady stream of newcomers who are looking to become involved in their community.”

In celebration of the Valentine Ball’s 25th year, the Gibsons once again will co-chair the event. They are sharing the top post with Dr. Aaron Bliley and his wife Melissa.

“My husband and I are big fans of Beaufort Memorial,” said Gibson, who has hosted numerous pre-ball dinner parties over the past quarter century.

“It’s so important to have a good hospital in the community. Until you end up in the emergency room or the intensive care unit, you don’t realize just how important it is.”

The fundraiser will begin with dinner at a private residence, followed at 9 p.m. by the gala in the new Beaufort Memorial Medical & Administrative Center on Ribaut Road across from the main hospital campus.

At the ball, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy dessert and coffee, dance to live music and participate in a silent auction.

Tickets to the Valentine Ball start at $150 per person and include several levels of sponsorships. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.valentineball.org or call 843-5225774.

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

mike bonnette is beaufort’s new

big man on campus T

he University of South Carolina Beaufort has a new man on campus in charge of fundraising for the Center for the Arts as well as all other fundraising for USCB including the Historic Beaufort Campus, now dedicated to arts education, and the Hilton Gateway Campus. His name is Mike Bonnette, and he is the assistant vice chancellor for development.

Mike was raised in Orangeburg, SC, but now, after being here a year, he says that Beaufort definitely feels like home to him and his wife, Amy. “Beaufortonians feel like ‘home folks’ to us. We are most comfortable around the oyster-shucking table or walking along the water at chambers park,” he said.

Amy, a Greenville native, met Mike at Clemson where he got an undergraduate and Masters degree. They have been married for 13 years with two children they adore — son Carson, 6, and daughter Laura, 3.

Mike is currently working to finish a Ph.D in Educational Leadership in the next two years.

Amy has worked in donor relations and special events in higher education and nonprofits for many years, and is currently working a part-time job in human resources while raising their two young children.

Mike is a big man — over 6 feet tall with wide shoulders. He got that way by working hard from a very young age on his father’s dairy farm where he also learned a lot about business. He was headed for a career in agri-business in North Carolina, but because of a great experience he had had at Clemson University as a graduate assistant for the Vice President for Institutional Advancement, he decided to dedicate his life to Alumni Relations and Fundraising for higher education and spent the next nine years of his life doing

that at two top Division 1 institutions in South Carolina and Mississippi before coming to Beaufort.

Says Mike, “After working in the business world for six years, I felt the pull back to higher education and am very happy to now be doing what I love in a part of the country I love. Being back in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and positively affecting the lives of students who grew up like me is very rewarding.”

He adds, “I looked for a way to be a part of higher education but interact with folks in a business-like way. Fundraising has given me the opportunity to do that.”

Mike has high praise for Chancellor Jane Upshaw. He said, “USCB has grown so much in recent years under Dr. Upshaw’s leadership and I am truly honored to be a part of the future. We are working to build the foundation of quality donor interaction and continue to grow our sense of history and tradition as a four-year institution.

My past experiences have enabled me to bring knowledge of how those pieces come together over time to make a truly unique student and donor experience. I see this line of work as a partnership of support for an institution we care very much about.

That is exciting to be a part of!”

the island news | january 9-15, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

He adds, “I think it is important to note that USCB is working hard to raise money in support of the Center for the Arts in Beaufort. We see this as an important opportunity for outreach in the community and have for a long time. We are supporting the institution by putting money into arts education at Historic Beaufort campus, but need support from the community to keep the Center for the Arts in top form as it provides a much-needed cultural gathering space for patrons of the arts in Beaufort. I look forward to working with all the constituency groups of the Center For the Arts to find these support dollars.”

Says Center for the Arts Executive Director Bonnie Hargrove, “Mike is the perfect addition to the team at USCB. He understands the importance of the historic campus to students and our community. Mike’s winning smile and infectious laugh make him a joy to work with and I know great things are in store for USCB’s historic campus because Mike will lead the way.”

Mike also has a personal interest in the continued success of the Center for the Arts because he is an avid music fan,

both as a guitar and piano player and listener. Says Mike, “I very much like to know the history and back story of songs and their recording artists. I often drive my friends (and wife) crazy with useless music trivia. I also like to listen to all kinds of music very loud so I can pick up on the intricacies of the arrangements and instrumentation.”

As for the future, Mike says he “looks forward to being an agent for continued growth of USCB.” He invites all those who believe in the Beaufort Campus and Center for the Arts to please contact him and help contribute to the facility and its programs that will benefit them and future generations.

support for uscb center for the arts You’ve probably enjoyed attending many of the fine theatrical, musical, dance and other events at the Center for The Arts over the years. But you may not know that the center does not receive money from the state university system and must raise all its own operating expenses. It is currently in dire need of a new sound system and more comfortable seating.

But their lighting needs are the most pressing. They could be in the dark soon with the facility’s 25-year-old lighting system that they do not make parts for anymore. If you would like to help out, please donate to the Center For the Arts or other fine USCB programs by going to uscb.edu/giving.

the island news | january 9-15, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

For Slade Heath, the idea of selling his belongings and packing up and moving his whole family to a country more than 8,000 miles overseas seemed daunting at first. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the opportunity to teach and live on the island of Okinawa, Japan, was a once in a lifetime opportunity that he couldn’t turn down.

After talking it over with his wife, Tiffany, a nurse who works in the birthing center at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, and his three children — Kaeley, 15, Caleb, 13, and Gabriel, 11 — they agreed to go for it.

“It takes a lot of faith to up and move your family,” Slade recalls.

So in 2011, they sold their cars and furniture and rented out their house on Lady’s Island. The rest of their items they had to ship, which he admitted can get pretty expensive.

The trip just to get there involved flying from Savannah to Charlotte, then from Charlotte to Newark, then from Newark to Tokyo, Japan, and finally to Okinawa.

But once they arrived, he felt they had made the right decision.

“For two years I don’t remember breathing,” Slade joked, “because we were so busy.”

This wasn’t his first time in Okinawa.

After getting married in 1997, Slade joined the Army and was eventually stationed there. Even though he was somewhat familiar with the island, he said it was an entirely different experience returning in 2011 and living among the locals and working as a teacher at a private Christian academy.

At the school, where Slade said about half of the students were American and half were Japanese, he taught eighth, ninth and tenth grades. He taught a variety of subjects including history, government and religion, but his lessons went beyond books. The first two weeks of school he was involved with actually building his classroom on the third floor.

“The whole operation was mission work. When you see people around you working hard, you get a sense of the people you care about,” he said.

For Slade, music is an important part of his life and he carried his trumpet all the way with him from the U.S. He even met his wife while he was in the Spirit of Atlanta Drum Corps band — he played the trumpet and Tiffany was in the color guard. So he brought music to the school and started a trumpet ensemble where he taught between 7 and 14 students how to play the instrument.

As the family settled into their new life and acclimated to a different culture, Slade continued to travel on mission trips around the world.

During his first trip in 2000 to the Philippines on a medical mission, Slade

said their team of about 15 people saw more than 1,000 people in need in only two or three days. “Seeing all the kids in need keeps us going back,” he said. And since then he has been on many more mission trips to places such as Jamaica, Trinidad, Costa Rica, and back to the Philippines.

“There are many definitions of mission work. For me, it’s not just helping with physical needs but helping spiritually as well,” Slade said.

From the mountains of Jamaica to small villages in the Philippines, Slade said there are many examples of helping those in need that keep him going back.

“It’s easy for us to say we trust God, but when these people say it, they mean it, and that makes it worth it,” he said.

Slade’s father, who fought in World War II and the Korean War, became a pastor and reached out to area migrant workers in the Lowcountry when Slade was growing up.

Now, his desire to help those in need has spread through the family and his wife and daughter have accompanied him on several mission trips. During a trip to the Philippines in 2013, his wife was surprised by the conditions for labor and delivery. “It was an eye opener for her,” Slade said.

“Seeing the Lord through the eyes of little kids is the heart of my work,” he said.

He described the Japanese culture as respectful and resilient, especially on Okinawa which is often hit with typhoons. Slade said his family saw 10 typhoons in the two years they were there. But the people on Okinawa are known for their long lives and they celebrate their longevity.

“America is a wonderful place, but Japan is another wonderful place,” he said. “The people were so nice, we never locked our door because we felt safe.”

Slade also said the food was excellent and he still misses it sometimes.

The family returned to Beaufort in July of last year and Slade admitted there was a bit of an adjustment for everyone.

He said his kids embraced the culture and there were little differences that they missed. “Instead of ice cream trucks, in Okinawa a man comes around selling sweet potatoes,” he said. “There is something about that place that creates a sense of home, it became our second home. But we’re glad to be back to our home with family and friends in Beaufort.”

In the six months that he has been back, Slade has spoken at local churches, telling the story of his missionary work.

He said looking back has inspired him to plan for his next trip.

“Looking forward, I am considering my first preventative mission trip,” he said.

For more information or how to get involved in overseas missionary work, contact Slade Heath at 843-505-0574.

Is retail dead?

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Impossible it would be for me to venture into an industry that is without the public perception of peril.

As the Titanic of real estate tackled an economical iceberg, I leapt to its lower deck with joy. While all those with the common sense the good Lord gave a squirrel jumped into lifeboats of more stable careers, I waved them farewell from a firm yet tilted stance.

Although not without bumps and bruises, I managed to survive, even thrive during a time and a career of which nightmares are made. Navigating through icy waters while tethered to the debris of years of excess and decision best left unmade, I built my very own ship. Perhaps this “devil-be-damned, do as I please” attitude is genetic or could be the result of one too many falls from one too many towering pines during my adolescence. Either way, the security of an industry poised for success or even primed for mediocrity fails to float my boat.

Once the corner was turned and all the Chicken Littles who ran about screaming that the sky of property appreciation had fallen below our expected meager 30 percent annual gain were once again rallying their real estate roars, I chose to venture into the barely

breathing world of retail. “Brick and Mortar Stores of Yester Year Will Be No More” seemed to be the battle cry of the mouse clicking, pajama wearing warriors of convenience.

Obviously, it was the perfect time for me to delve into the depths of small business ownership. Pundits Cherimie and even parents have little influence Crane Weatherford once my mind is set on anything whether it is an ill-advised hair style or seemingly insane career move. Self-punishment is apparently in my color wheel.

Proudly wearing my blinders, I set forth to see past the second day delivery, the online obscurity and the trend of most Americans to never leave the confines and the solidarity of shopping solely via the World Wide Web. Anyone who has ever stepped foot inside Beaufort’s Modern Jewelers while being warmly welcomed by Mrs. Rosemary, or walked through the doors and past the popcorn to see Mr. Gray standing tall in the aisle of Grayco would be remiss to think for one second that retail isn’t alive and well. Both stores remain abuzz with familiar faces of shoppers who

letter to the editor Only you can repair county government

Imagine a surgeon operating on you without X-rays, MRI’s or data, while operating room staff ignored directions and did their own thing.

That’s similar to how your taxes and goals are managed in Beaufort County. A small autocratic elite operate with their own agendas, acting as if they are unanswerable to anyone. Their methods and results would not be tolerated in a real business. While claiming transparency, they work to undermine it.

This can only happen if you let it. We are rapidly approaching a “tipping point” where this could be changed.

County Council incumbents from Districts 2, 6 and 11 will have to run for re-election in 2014. They are vulnerable due to their track records. Some reform steps lose by only a few votes. Even a few new people could shift the balance of power.

If you live in the districts below, please consider running for office: • District 2 (Beaufort, Lady’s, Dataw, Fripp Island areas) • District 6 (Sun City, Berkeley Hall, Eagles Pointe, Oldfield Areas) • District 11 (Southern half of Hilton Head Island).

Registration for new candidates will be open March 16-30.

require more than a keyboard.

There is a growing need for consumers to feel human interaction. As all other areas of our lives venture into the virtual, we find a necessary realness in stores and staff that meet our needs whilst knowing our name.

Not always is it the product that lures us from our laptops but rather the feeling that currently can only be obtained by another human. Just as guilty as most when it comes to click and ship, I also dabble in the next day delivery; however, knowing the core of business lies in the core of humanity, small businesses enjoy most of my money. Retail is a service more than a product, an experience more than an expense and once that is realized, success simply follows suit.

While news anchors chatter about the declining sales and future demise of retail, I prepare to unlock the door of my little shop that in less than one year has proven once again that people still prefer people.

Knowing that Bay Street, Boundary and tiny streets all over America are starting to awaken as business owners greet customers who continue to walk through the doors of the perceived dead brick and mortar that makes the world go around.

Happy Shopping, Beaufort.

A vision of beauty

By Takiya Smith

For the past couple of years my children and I have made it a New Year tradition to create our own unique Vision Boards. January 1 has come to be our time of reflection over the previous year as well as a resolution of the new one to come.

A Vision Board is nothing more than a simple arts and craft project with a twist of creativity, individuality and a focus to make those things a reality. No matter what day the first falls on, I take that day and time off to spend it with my kids flipping through magazines, newspapers and literature to pull, cut out and piece together my wants, desires and goals for the new year. We all have dreams but it’s not until we can see a vision that those dreams begin to take on the shape and form necessary to give it life. A Vision Board helps to give us that constant reminder of our dreams so that we can keep focus on formulating a plan that leads us to that dream.

So let’s talk beauty, health and wellness as a part of that dream. The holidays are over, the guest have all gone and the leftovers are just left.

For most, the chart-topping new year’s resolution is to lose weight, be healthy or to get fit. Nothing wrong with that except the fact that for most,

this resolution sits stagnant as just a dream never becoming a true vision nor reaching reality.

Coupled with unrealistic goals, lack of commitment or time management, the task seems Takiya Smith, more daunting than rewarding.

HYPE stands for Healthy Young People Empowerment, and the project promotes healthy decision making, positive peer communication, healthy relationships, culture and tradition, physical activity and focus on empowerment while encouraging students to think, learn, act, share and evaluate their own neighborhoods. This group of high school students will begin mentoring students at the elementary school level. Above is pictured members of the HYPE group with Whale Branch Elementary School principal Lynn Singleton.

Beaufort Academy third grader Jayden Gibson teamed up with two Mary Kay Consultants and participated in Operation Adopt a Grandparent. Jayden also asked his classmates, local businesses, family, and friends to consider sponsoring a senior citizen for the holidays.

Each $25 donation purchased a senior citizen a Mary Kay gift set along with other goodies.

On Dec. 20, 2013, Jayden, along with two of his classmates, G Simmons and Katherine Taylor, delivered 40 gift sets to Senior Services of Beaufort -Burton Wells Senior Center.

G and Katherine were the first two who agreed to each donate $25 and help make this happen. Jayden was so excited about giving to those who are least likely to receive anything for the holidays. Senior citizens are often left out during the holidays, and his thought was maybe we can put a smile on a few of their faces.

ABOVE and RIGHT: Mrs. DImperio‘s Family & Consumer Science class at Beaufort High School baked Christmas cookies and packaged them into holiday gift bags. On December 19 the class visited Our Lady’s Pantry on Lady’s Island to deliver the gift bags and to help with the distribution of items.

Chandor, with a musical score by Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), the film is a gripping, visceral and powerfully moving tribute to ingenuity and resilience. Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner’s intuition, and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

wine

This week’s wine sure is nice

By Celia Strong

This week’s new wine will take us on a trip to the Alsace, France, region. A very interesting and, in many ways, unique area that is located in northeastern France, right next to their border with Germany. This location has had a huge influence on the area — its history, its culture, its food, its wines, and even its language. Almost all the wines from Alsace are white, 90 percent of them. Many of them are made from aromatic varieties, including Riesling and Gewurztraminer. These are the only AC wines in France that are labeled for their grape variety. And, Alsace wine laws ensure they are 100 percent of the named variety.

Alsace lies between the Vosges Mountains and the German border along the Rhine River. It is a long, thin region (about 115 miles from north to south and 25 miles from east to west).

Almost all the vineyards are situated on the east and southeast facing slopes, on the lower hillsides. This is a colder region, but the mountains serve to protect the vines from the rough north winds blowing in from the west. In addition, these same mountains keep too much rain from falling on the vines.

The soils in the hillside vineyards have sandstone, granite and volcanic rocks while clay-rich limestone and marlstone soils are in the plains vineyards.

The history of Alsace is partly French and partly Germanic. In Roman times, the area was the border between the Roman Empire and Prima Germania.

Close to the year 0, Emperor Augustus decided to build a city on the site of an ancient Celtic settlement, today’s Strasbourg. This city was strategically located where the roads and rivers met.

The Roman legions needed their wine, and by the third century, forests had been cleared and vineyards planted on a fairly large scale.

In 357 AD, Germanic people, known as the Alemanni, fought with the Romans. Initially, they lost but 10 years later, when the Empire was beginning to weaken everywhere, they won. In the beginning of the 5th century, the Alemanni were established in Alsace and much of what is now Switzerland.

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

The winery for this week’s wine is Hugel.

The Hugel family can trace its history in Alsace, France, back to the 15th century ... over 370 years and 12 generations, the Hugels have maintained their reputation and leadership in the production of their quality wines.

The Francs invaded Alsace in 496 AD. The 843 AD treaty of Versailles, created

by Charles the Great, established separate parts of what was the Empire.

The western part became France, the eastern part became the GermanRoman Empire, and the middle became the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxenbourg, Alsace and Lorraine. From this point on, until the Versailles treaty of 1919, at the end of World War I, Alsace “bounced” back and forth between being part of France and part of Germany. This bouncing, though, created the Alsace we know today. Food, wine, architecture, religion, language — all are now a blend of the two.

One more thing to for this week’s wine is the category it falls into. Yes, Alsatian wines are labeled for their grape variety. Except when they are a blend. And that category is known as Edelzwicker. “Zwicker” means “blend,” and the added “Edel” means “noble.”

(The best pronunciation guide I have for this is “idol-svicker.” A “w” in German is done as a “v.”) This term designates

“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”

Hugel Gentil wine

any blended wine that is AC Alsace.

They are made from white grapes, with no indication of which ones or percentages. The different grapes can be vinified (made into wine) separately, or together. And, vintage dating on the bottle is optional. Historically, the blended grapes came from one parcel of vineyard land. Wines designated “Gentil” are also an AC Alsace blend, of superior quality. These wines must be a minimum of 50 percent Riesling, Muscat and/or Gewurztraminer (the three “better” Alsatian varieties), with Sylvaner, Chasselas and/or Pinot Blanc making up the rest. Each of the grapes here must be vinified separately, and each of them must be AC Alsace wine on its own. “Gentil” wines are subject to quality control certification before they can be sold. In French, “gentil” means nice. Nice for us also, they’re good wines.

Our winery for this week’s wine is Hugel. Yep, a German name. The Hugel family can trace its history in Alsace back to the 15th century. In the 17th century, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riwuewihr and, in 1639, he was made a freeman of the city. Hans took charge of the Corporation of Winegrowers, a very powerful organization. In 1672, his son built a fine house with the family crest over the doorway. That crest is still their winery’s logo. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hugel reputation

for wine-growing skills and meticulous vineyard cultivation was established. In 1902, Frédéric Emile Hugel built new premises for the family business, in the center of Riquewihr, where they are still located. Through the generations, over 370 years and 12 generations, the Hugels maintained their reputation and leadership in Alsace’s wine industry and the production of their quality wines.

And, an interesting tidbit? The Hugel company was the instigator of a “Grand Cru” rating system in Alsace. This is a vineyard rating where the best land grows the best grapes. Over half of the land Hugel owns is rated Grand Cru. But? Today, Hugel prefers not to use the Grand Cru classification on any of their wines. Why? Because recent expansions of some of the boundaries of some Grand Cru vineyards and the addition of some not-quite-as-good vineyards makes it mean less. So, they let their wines speak for themselves. Nice!

Our wine is the Hugel Gentil. The grapes for this “edelswicker” come from both Hugel owned vineyards and growers with whom they have long-term contracts, all located around the village of Riquewihr.

After fermentation, the wines are allowed to settle, a natural clarification process, over the winter, and, then, they are fined and gently filtered before bottling. The exact blend of Hugel Gentil varies a bit from year to year. The advantage being it tastes close to the same every time, every bottle.

Beginning with the 2009 vintage, all Hugel bottles have the DIAM closure — no way you can get a bad cork that way. ( Just so you know, these are made from real cork, but more processed, including cleaning.)

These wines show fresh aromas of fruit and flowers. They are dry, refreshing and very pleasant. Delicious on their own, their pair superbly with Asian flavors such as soy sauce, ginger, lemongrass, curry and Chinese Five Spice. And they go well with a lot of food especially shellfish, white fish, poultry and salads.

Most of us drink way more red blends than white blends. Now, we have a white blend that is unique and delicious and only $12.99. Nice! Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

Is the voice a vice?

By Tracie Korol

I have a dog friend with a bark that could cut glass. She is a well mannered, clever blonde poodly-sort loaded to the gills with otherwise good-dog attributes. But when she lets loose with her song, humans within range grit teeth and hold on until it stops. Her mom and I are working toward establishing a positive interrupt sequence so we can all remain friends.

So, what’s with the barking? In the wild, adult canids rarely bark and only in specific situations: in defense of the den or pups, a warning, a protest, a threat or an actual attack. By comparison, our housedogs are virtuoso barkers, capable of a variety of melodies but also barking for specific reasons. Genetics plays a role in the style and quality of a dog’s tune. Those dogs selectively bred as “scent” hounds (beagles, coonhounds, foxhounds) give voice, usually a hearty Ah-Roo! to announce the presence of their prey. Herding dogs, the Type-A’s of the dog world, will short-yap continuously while managing their sheep.

Sight hounds (greyhounds, afghans) prefer to chase quarry rather than bark and guarding breeds (akitas, mastiffs) will save their barks for serious provocation while quietly escorting you off the property. Dog barks can communicate a message, attract attention or express excitement.

Alarm barking is common to most breeds. It is a dog’s way of telling you that Timmy’s in the well or that something is amiss in his domain. My poodly friend alerts Mom to strangers on the property (a good thing), but also random nature noises — wind, branches brushing the eaves, squirrels crunching in the leaves (not a good thing). Given that alarm barking is bound to occur, it’s useful to teach your dog a positive mid-bark interrupt. Dogs generally do better when told what to do

(“come over here for a goodie!”) rather than what not to do (“stopitstopitstopit!”).

Redirecting behavior occupies a dog’s brain instead of leaving a behavior vacuum to be filled with more barking.

Demand barking occurs because your dog has learned that he can get something he wants — usually attention or snacks — by telling you, over and over and over.

The best way to extinguish a demand bark is to completely ignore the dog — no eye contact, no conversation, even turning around so you’re not even facing him. If you turn toward him and say “Quiet!” you lose, he wins, and you’ve just reinforced unwanted behavior.

Dogs, as social creatures, become lonely and bored when left alone all day and often, all night. Boredom barking is monotonous and continuous, is annoying to neighbors and if you’re lucky will likely to elicit a knock on the door from Animal Control. The solution to boredom barking is simple: bring the dog in the house.

I have a neighbor who keeps four dogs in a box, the ubiquitous “huntin’ dogs” that somehow lose their ability to do what they are bred for if they are allowed to have a moment of life. These four dogs have boredom barked non-stop since October 9, 2011. If you want to come out and hear what boredom barking sounds like, let me know.

or panicked about something real. At kennel, I once hosted a huge, ungroomed Newfoundland who, in addition to looking like a yak, was wearing an enormous Elizabeth collar for medical reasons. Alex, the golden retriever in the next room, went nuts because he had just never seen anything like that before. It smelled like a dog, but it sure didn’t look like one. (Alex spent the rest of his visit in the house with me.) Separation anxiety falls into the stress-barking category and is often manifested in hysterical, shriek-attenuated, non-stop barking. SA is serious business and usually requires intervention of a professional.

Play barking is common in herding dogs, the “fun police” of the dog world.

As other dogs or humans romp, the playbarker skitters around the edges, barking

and sometimes nipping at heels. Merlin, a Border collie friend at kennel, never got in the game; he “managed” from the perimeter. Great fun for him but annoying to we humans who had to listen and the other dogs that just wanted to play. This behavior is inappropriate with children and should be handled by removing the dog from the scene or enforcing a “time out” each time the behavior manifests.

Greeting barking is a dog’s version of “Hooray! Mom’s home!” It’s one thing to be greeted by a wagging, wiggling dog and another to be greeted by a cacophony of maniacal barking. Unfortunately, sometimes one leads to the other. To temper the reaction, simply wait at the door for the cacophony to subside and then enter calmly. (It may take a while at first.) No dramatic re-entry, no hugfest or squealing “Mommy’s missed you, too!”

A dog’s voice can be a useful thing, especially the bark that lets us know if he needs to go out, or when he wants to come in. Dogs warn us of intruders or of impending emergencies. We want them to have their voice. We want to thank them when they use their voice appropriately and tell them how wonderful they are when they stop barking.

Beth Israel Synagogue to get historical marker

The Beaufort County Historical Society will start 2014, the beginning of its 75th Anniversary year, with the dedication of a historical marker at the Beth Israel Synagogue on Sunday, Jan. 12, at 2:30 p.m. at the corner of West and Craven streets.

According to Beaufort County Historical Society board member and researcher Linda Hoffman, “Beth Israel Synagogue was chartered October 16, 1905. On June 14, 1908, the dedication of Beth Israel Synagogue occurred with members of the Beaufort community attending as this was a milestone not only for the small Jewish community but for the larger community as well.” Hoffman goes on to say, “Descendants of the original officers and members of the synagogue are still living in Beaufort and are members of the synagogue. The Jewish community has been an integral part of Beaufort County since the mid to late 1800s.”

This is event open to the public. The Beaufort County Historical Society is the oldest association in Beaufort County dedicated to the study and preservation of history. A member based organization, the society was established in 1939. For more information, contact President Mary Lou Brewton at maryloubrew@ aol.com or 912-604-3634 or visit www. beaufortcountyhistoricalsociety.org.

On Thursday, Jan. 16 at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club on Lady’s Island, USCB Professor Dr. Brent Morris will present information on William H.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources.

The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
