Santa Elena Foundation names Dr. Beall as executive director The Santa Elena Foundation Board of Directors named Andrew J. Beall as executive director. Beall assumes responsibility for operational leadership and administration of the foundation.

Organized by local business leaders, civic leaders, and scholars, the Santa Elena Foundation promotes the history of European arrival on the North American coast. French construction of Charlesfort on Parris Island by Jean Ribault in 1562 drew a Spanish response. Spanish settlers established the community of Santa Elena in 1569, the first colonial capital in America. The story of European rivals struggling for dominance in North America involved French, Spanish, and English explorers and their interactions with nations of Native American peoples. The Santa Elena Foundation is dedicated to

sharing the little known history of this “lost century” through archaeological research, a cultural interpretive center, and a living history Andrew museum.

J. Beall Beall brings to this role extensive executive experience as a global corporate leader. His 30 years in the industrial equipment industry included responsibility for facilities in numerous countries. Living and working internationally, he led teams that established service and manufacturing operations to serve global customers. Beall received his doctorate in business administration from the School of Advanced Studies at University of Phoenix. Since settling

in the Lowcountry in 2010, he has volunteered his time with a number of community organizations.

In accepting this position, Dr. Beall observed, “I am so very pleased with the support the Santa Elena Foundation has received from the community and the immediate interest people show when they hear European settlers first arrived here 450 years ago. For me this role is an opportunity to work with a remarkable team of people on a historic project significant for our community.”

The Santa Elena Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Beaufort County. The mission of the foundation is to expand the story of European colonization of North America through discovery, preservation, and promotion of Santa Elena, the first colonial capital in the present-day United States.

Beaufort County temporarily suspends Accommodation Tax application process

The Beaufort County 2% Accommodation Tax Grant Program application process has been temporarily suspended due to lower than anticipated collections.

Each year, the Beaufort County 2% Accommodation Tax Grant Program distributes funds to qualified groups, organizations and government entities

for tourism and marketing promotions.

The funds assist and support the programs of qualified groups who attract visitors from 50 miles or more to Beaufort County. The funds for distribution are derived from a tax imposed on tourist lodging facilities. Last year, $500,000 was distributed to qualified groups.

Due to a reallocation of funding by the

S.C. Department of Revenue, Beaufort County has sustained a lower balance than is traditionally held at this time of the year. To efficiently utilize the county’s resources, the grant program will be temporarily suspended until the receipt of its fourth quarter distributions. As soon as the application process is opened, the public will be notified.

The ‘Bear Necessities’ of life

I recently spent a week with my younger sisters, and through this experience I was reminded of my own childhood. I am thankful for this time with them and the moment to reflect.

While growing up, Disney movies and Nickelodeon were keen influences on my way of life. One of my favorites still rings true today — Disney’s version of “The Jungle Book.” Its catchy song “Bear Necessities” has given me a few “ah-ha!” moments while replaying it in my head.

“Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worry and your strife I mean the bare necessities That’s why a bear can rest at ease The simple bare necessities of life.”

Yes! The simple bare necessities of life and the ability to live with little and be grateful for what you have now — this is what I often find myself telling my yoga students, and for good reason.

After a devastating house fire in 2011, my husband and I were left with nothing

but the clothes on our back. We were graciously sent donations from our fantastic Beaufort community, and I learned quickly what it was like to live Brittney with bare necessities.

Hiller Food, clothing and a hotel room for shelter were what we had. This experience quickly shifted our definition of what was necessary and what was important. People, not things, were most important now.

How often do you find yourself wanting something, only to feel when you get it a lack of that need? How much time do we spend creating this idea that more is better?

This moment in my life — when we were down to our bare necessities — I felt completely free. It was an enormously cleansing experience, not only to begin again in such a new way, but to experience

Awakenings

the feeling of community, compassion and love allowed for me to overcome attachment. I had nothing more to be attached to — no more memorabilia, no more old journal stories, no more clothes, and no more materialistic items — simply because it was all gone.

It really was almost as if “The Jungle Book,” this simple piece of my childhood, was coming to mean something more than just a movie. After realizing the “bear necessities” in my life, and how incredibly freeing they allowed me to feel, this particular lyric rings true in my life now: “And don’t spend your time lookin’ around

For something you want that can’t be found When you find out you can live without it And go along not thinking about it I’ll tell you something true — The simple bare necessities of life will come to you!”

Back in 2011, when we were feeling lost, alone, and confused, the necessities we needed showed up the same day with an outpour of donations from the wonderful people I am still grateful to have in my life.

“If you let go of worry — let go of strife Turn to trust and gratitude and get on with your life The most amazing things will come to you.”

Enjoy, be grateful and appreciate the simple “Bear Necessities” of life.

benton’s bits of advice The only way to tell the truth is to let the truth tell you. In many ways, we are unaware of ourselves. We tell stories that we think get at the truth of our essence but actually don’t get close. We have a vested interest in ourselves, and that colors and camouflages us from ourselves. Therapy is the process of putting a different mirror in front of us so that we see a more realistic image. It is the process of letting the truth tell us.

A traveler’s perspective on portfolio management There are different types of investors just like there are different types of travelers. Some people don’t fly at all, and so they drive, it lets them sleep at night (conservative). Some people don’t fly across oceans, and so they vacation domestically, and are happier doing so (moderate). Other people need to jump out of airplanes to feel alive — and statistically most still live a long life regardless of this high-risk behavior (aggressive). These are three different people, for sure, and warrant different agendas for their next vacation. The process of strategic allocation does a great job in helping to identify that there is a difference between the “road tripper” and the “skydiver” but does nothing to provide either with the appropriate safety equipment.

The “road tripper” is put into a car, told to head South by strategic allocation, and told not to ask why there are no seat belts in the car.

After all, the travel Arthur agent might say, “Our Levin research tells us that if you just keep driving, you’ll be fine. Just don’t stop to ask directions, or slow down for any obstacles ... just keep going.”

The skydiver is similarly given the opportunity to exit a plane at altitude, just as they requested, but is told to jump out whether they are overtop an empty field, open water, or an active volcano. There are no adjustments from

strategic allocation for “conditions on the ground.”

Tactical Investing can mean nothing more than taking the investor willing to jump out of an airplane, and adapting for the reality that he is not willing to do so in all conditions. It may mean allowing someone to traverse the country in a car rather than a plane, if that is what makes sense, but giving them GPS, a brake pedal, and a seat belt. The investor hopes to never need any of the listed safety equipment, but anyone with long-term market experience knows that, given enough time, they will.

By utilizing a tactical approach to portfolio management, we are able to adjust portfolios as market trends change over time. This provides the “seat belt” necessary to try to smooth out the ride.

So, it doesn’t matter if you are a “road tripper” or a “skydiver”, tactical investing can provide you the safety equipment needed to help you reach your objective.

Business After Hours

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK

Business After Hours was hosted by the Technical College of the Lowcountry on Thursday, July 10. Here are some photos from the event by Captured Moments Photography.

Each week, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce chooses a chamber business to honor and surprises them with food from Sonic. Pictured is the Business of the Week, Butler Marine, Inc., and owner Chris Butler.

Upcoming chamber events: • Friday, July 18: Military Affairs Committee: 8 a.m., Chamber offices, 701 Craven St. • Friday, July 18: Military Enhancement Committee: 9 a.m., Chamber offices.

• Friday, July 18: Coffee With Colleagues: 8 to 9 a.m., hosted by Hampton Inn Beaufort, 2342 Boundary Street. Free networking opportunity for members. RSVP with the chamber at 843-525-8523.

Welcome continued from page 1

Nearly 3,000 people packed the park for music from the Parris Island Marine Band, free entertainment for the kids, watermelon, hot dogs, a patriotic ceremony, and spectacular fireworks.

As part of the ceremony, the city of Beaufort presented a special proclamation to VMFAT-501 in their honor. “The Warlords are humbled by the outpouring of community support during this past Friday’s event on the waterfront,” said Lt. Col. Joseph “Ty” Bachmann. “The event was a lot of fun, and a perfect homecoming for the Marines of VMFAT-501 back to their permanent home in Beaufort. The Warlord family is looking forward to continuing its relationship with the best small town in America. Semper Fi.” Organizers would like to thank all of those who helped make the event possible, from individual and business sponsors, to the many dedicated organizations and volunteers who rolled up their sleeves.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the Beaufort community for stepping up to the plate

to help us put on this celebration as we welcomed the Marines and their families with VMFAT-501 to our community,” said Williams. “The crowd and support Friday evening was a true testament to Beaufort’s commitment to our military and their families.”

Col. Peter D. Buck, Commanding Officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, said, “I am confident I speak for MCAS Beaufort and all Marines and sailors, past and present, when I say the support shown by the community at Friday’s welcome home for

VMFAT-501 was truly overwhelming.

The longstanding community support here in Beaufort is truly unique. The ‘ordinary’ in Beaufort is nothing short of extraordinary. There’s an intangible synergy between the Tri-Command and the community that creates an effect that is greater than the individual parts.

This was truly evident on Friday evening as the community welcomed home the Warlords of 501. On behalf of the Marines, sailors and civilians of MCAS Beaufort, thank you for the community’s support in the past, present and future.”

Book, CD signing held at Edward Barnwell House

By Lanier Laney

There was a CD and book launch signing party for singer and actor Ron Daise and local historical fiction author, David Grim, this past weekend.

through a grant from the SC Arts Commission, and is available at local stores and online at rondaise.com.

Author David Grim was also signing his new novel, “Swift Currents.” In it, he blends his interest in the Civil War and his deep respect for African American tenacity through periods of deep despair, to tell a story of slavery’s end and freedom’s joyous beginning. The event took place at Geddes Dowling’s lovely historic family home on Bay

Street, The Edward Barnwell House.

Stephanie Austin Edwards, founder of Novel Ideas by SAE, which provides consulting and marketing services to authors, put together the event.

Commodore Brandy Gray commented, “We are thrilled that William was able to capture all of the elements we wanted in our design — half 1956 and half 2014.”

William said, “My goal was to capture a time once forgotten and include many of the great memories we all have from the Water Festival and what we still enjoy today.”

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

Meet Doyle Clifton of the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue

Beaufort Water Festival’s

‘safety net’ for boaters

By Lanier Laney

Beaufort Water Search and Rescue (BWSAR) is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to assisting local boaters in distress.

They have served boaters for 39 years and have been an essential “safety net” for the Beaufort Water Festival all those years.

The group’s primary mission is to assist and support federal, state and local emergency response agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and was formed in response to the realization that those agencies could not render assistance to boaters in distress in the vast water stretches of northern Beaufort County in all circumstances all the time.

Says 20 year BWSAR volunteer veteran Doyle Clifton,“I think our entire philosophy is to just help people. Many of the 30 members are local boaters who have a very intimate knowledge of these waters, we use those skills and local knowledge to search and find boats in distress in the huge maze of rivers, creeks, marshes and mud flats that make up this area.”

He adds, “For the most part, we have five boats that belong to BWSAR, however, we also use personal boats owned by members, having a number of other sizes and types available. We handle everything from deep water rescue to rivers, creeks, marsh and mud. Even one time responded in a kayak and had to crawl through pluff mud and over oyster beds to reach stranded boaters.

“We also help with safety boat patrols and watch over participants in special events like the Beaufort River Swim, the Paddle Battle, Dragon Boat practices, Dragon Boat Races, Raft Races, etc. There are large numbers of privately owned boats that participate in Water Festival activities every year, a few not too seaworthy, others have problems with motors and need tows (disabled), fuel 14

issues, persons overboard — lots of alcoholrelated issues, too. After the day’s festivities are over we remain on standby to assist even after dark with festivalgoers who might have problems heading home.”

Originally from Allendale, SC, Doyle spent summers here growing up on the creeks with his family, moving here permanently 34 years ago where he became an art teacher at Mossy Oaks Elementary.

Doyle is proud he met and married “a Beaufort girl.” He says with a smile, “Thirty years next month.” His lovely wife is Doris Barton Clifton, who works as an accountant for Waste Management. They have two grown children and three granddaughters.

Doyle holds his fellow volunteers in high regard. “It takes a special kind of person to choose to belong to this kind of group — a special kind of attitude and mentality to leave a warm, safe and comfortable home and go out in probably the worst weather and sea conditions, almost always at night, to help those in need. Guess we ain’t wrapped too tight,” he says with a laugh.

Since the job is 24/7, Doyle says a lot of volunteers and their wives and families get disturbed, not only in the middle of the night, but also when they have just walked into a restaurant or are in the middle of all kinds of family events — like parties, church or even sitting in the dentist chair. But Doyle says it’s worth it because of “the satisfaction

the island news | july 17-23, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

we get knowing we have made a difference, that we can respond quickly to almost any situation from south end of Hilton Head to Edisto Island and inland all the way to Highway 17. We have a lot of what, at first, look like insignificant calls, but we take every one seriously. Stranded boaters have no access to medical help, are at the mercy of the elements — lightning storms, rain. Simply aground on a sand bar can become a very dangerous situation.”

Doyle says that over his 20 years, he’s seen a lot of tragedy and sadness from families regarding losses to drownings and accidents.

But he adds, “I’ve seen a lot of good, too, great feeling when you know you’ve made a difference and probably saved a life or two.”

In 2004, Doyle was awarded the highest award given to a citizen for services rendered to the State of South Carolina — The Order of the Silver Crescent — by the governor, for his efforts as skipper with BWSAR. Doyle is currently a beach master with the organization, coordinating information with the Coast Guard and other agencies and the rescue operation. He has high praise for current Skipper Dick Jennings and the other dedicated members of the team. He retired two years ago from teaching and now works part time as a tour guide on Parris Island. As an avid kayaker, with 60 years of experience on the local waters he has a vast database stored in his head to continue to help with rescue operations in the future.

In reference to the type of volunteer work they do, Doyle says what has always surprised him are the number of members who join and last for only a short time. “I’ve had people literally get out of one of our boats after a mission, walk by and say, “You people are crazy ... I quit!’”

But for those who might like this kind of volunteer work that makes such a huge difference, they are always looking for new members.

Doyle credits Beaufort County for support with some funding, and encourages people to participate in the Annual St. Paddy’s Day Sea Rescue Golf Tournament fundraiser in March on Fripp Island. But he adds that the BWSAR is a nonprofit organization that mainly survives on donations.

Says Doyle “The donations we receive go to a number of needs. Obviously fuel is a huge expense right now with gas prices and these boats are not very fuel efficient. Also, special equipment, navigation aids, wear and tear — these boats are almost always out in some of the harshest conditions — really takes a toll. If it weren’t for member Gary Bright — a former mechanic retired from Sea Island Marine — who literally keeps our boats running, Bobby Cooler at Sea Island Marine, and the good folks at Beaufort Boat and Dock Supply that help us out, not sure where we would be.”

To donate or volunteer, call 843-525-1969 or mail visit their office at: BWSAR, 817 Parris Avenue, Port Royal, SC, 29935.

Says Doyle, “To our Water Festival guests, have a great time, be patient, cooperate and work with the various Water Festival groups and enjoy yourselves. Make it your best Water Festival yet — just don’t make it the last for yourself or someone else.”

Beaufort Riptide 11U brings home Global World Series Championship Despite a rocky start, Beaufort Riptide 11U AAA won five straight games to claim the USSSA 2014 Gameday Sports Global World Series Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC, July 9-13.

Coming out of the pool play with a 1-3 record, Riptide lost their first championship bracket game to the number one seed, Kent Island Bucks from Maryland, putting them in a must-win or go-home situation.

With numerous rain delays on Saturday night, Riptide went into the losers bracket at 11:30 p.m.

They were facing old rivals and friends out of Augusta, Ga., called the Havoc. Havoc was the first team Riptide faced when they started playing travel ball four years ago. Riptide went to work: At 1 a.m., they earned a 4-1 victory.

Eight hours later, Riptide was warming up for their next game against the Carolina Prospects from Columbia, SC. Riptide won 4-3. After a 10 minute break, they took on the Prolific Power from North Carolina, winning that game 7-3.

The Black Sox from Columbia, SC, were next in line, falling 7-3 to Riptide also.

Now Riptide had to face the team that put them in the losers bracket, the Kent Island Bucks, for the championship game.

The Riptide and the Bucks were tied 1-1 in the first inning. The Bucks took the lead at the end of the second inning. Riptide came back in the third to tie the Bucks and then took the lead at the end of the fourth by scoring 3 more runs. Riptide scored an additional run in the top of the fifth to give them a 4-run advantage.

The Bucks cut the Riptide lead by two in the bottom of the fifth. The score was now 6-4.

Pictured left to right, kneeling: Rhogue Wallace, Joshua Denton, Thomas Johnson, Wes Graves. Standing: Josh Kross, Oliver Holmes, Colin Petersen, Hayden Jennings, Christian Londono, Rush Riley, Mason Westerfield. Coaches: Al Wallace, Richard Jennings, Brett Westerfield (Head Coach), and Bobby Graves.

Riptide did not score in the top of the sixth and held the Bucks from scoring in the bottom of the sixth by striking out the first two batters and catching a fly ball in center field, giving Riptide a 6-4 victory and claiming the championship.

The Riptide coaches, players and parents would like to thank the following businesses and sponsors who helped raise the funds necessary to attend the tournament: Lady’s Island Food Lion, Lady’s Island Walgreens, Shell Point Bi-Lo, Easy Rentals, and the numerous friends, family and community members who donated to the team. Without the support of this community, the team would not have been able to accomplish their goals at the USSSA Global World Series.

the indie film corner: ‘life itself’ The USCB Center for the Arts presents the Indie Film “Life Itself ” on Monday, July 21 at 7 p.m.

Acclaimed director Steve James (“Hoop Dreams”) and executive producers Martin Scorsese (“The Departed”) and Steven Zaillian (“Moneyball”) present “Life Itself,” a documentary film that recounts the inspiring and entertaining life of world-renowned film

critic and social commentator Roger Ebert — a story that is by turns personal, funny, painful, and transcendent.

Based on his best-selling memoir of the same name, “Life Itself ” explores the legacy of Roger Ebert’s life, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago SunTimes to becoming one of the most influential cultural voices in America.

Amiri, who is a professor at USCB where he teaches studio art, displays paintings that are full of exuberant color and intimate personal experiences.

Also on view are works by renowned illustrator, fine artist and teacher Frank Cerulli. Many of Frank’s illustrations are satires of celebrities. The exhibit runs through the end of the month.

“James cuts — as in all of his best work — straight to the human heart of the matter, celebrating both the writer and the man, the one inseparable from the other, largely in Ebert’s own words,” writes Scott Foundas of Variety.

‘Ketchup’ with the inaugural Beaufort Tomato Festival On Saturday, July 12, the inaugural Beaufort Tomato Festival was held on Cane Island. The day kicked off with a 5K Obstacle Run, with more than 100 participants running through the woods and conquering obstacles such as scaling a cargo net, crawling through the pluff mud, jumping over wooden walls and climbing out of the marsh on a rope ladder. It was challenging, for sure. After the race, there was a big tomato fight, with more than 10,000 pounds of local tomatoes being hurled, chucked, squashed and smashed for some good, messy fun. The family friendly event also featured live music, bounce houses, face painting, a petting zoo and rides. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Expecting a

Changes in obstetrical care may affect your delivery

B A BY ?

I

f you are currently expecting a baby – or planning to have a baby in the near future – it’s important that you are aware of several changes in obstetrical care in Beaufort County and how they might affect your delivery.

We realize these changes may have caused confusion in the community, so we want you as expectant parents to understand your options for care in order to ensure that your birthing experience goes smoothly.

We hope this information is helpful to you and your families. On behalf of our entire staff we look forward to being a part of one of the most important moments in your family’s life.

FA Q S

about OB care in the Beaufort area

What changes have occurred that might affect my delivery?

Some of the recent changes include: • Several local OB-GYNs moved their hospital privileges to – and are delivering babies at – Coastal Carolina Hospital in Jasper County; • Beaufort Memorial opened its own Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists practice; and, • Naval Hospital relocated its OB-GYNs to North Carolina.

Is Beaufort Memorial still offering birthing services?

YES! The Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial remains committed to providing quality obstetrical care and birthing services, continuing its 70-year tradition of delivering babies right here in the Beaufort community. However, it’s important that patients understand that only physicians who are on the Beaufort Memorial medical staff are able to deliver in our Birthing Center. These include physicians who are associated with Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists or with Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services.

If I want to deliver my baby in Beaufort, what are my options for care? Earlier this year the hospital opened its own OB-GYN practice in order to

ensure that birthing services will always be available in Beaufort County. Our four board-certified OB-GYNs are delivering babies exclusively at the BMH Birthing Center. All four doctors are accepting new patients.

Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services is another option for obstetrical care and delivery at Beaufort Memorial.

To learn which physicians are members of our medical staff, visit our website at beaufortmemorial.org or call our physician referral line at 522-5585. If you would like to visit the BMH Birthing Center, free tours are held on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Check in at the Birthing Center lobby to begin your tour.

What if I have a health emergency while I’m pregnant?

If your OB-GYN does not have privileges at Beaufort Memorial but you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to come to Beaufort Memorial for care, a member of our medical staff will handle your emergency and, if necessary, deliver your baby. Please be assured that we will take care of you regardless of who is the attending OB-GYN, and will reach out to your own OB-GYN to coordinate the best care possible for you and your baby.

How can I find out where my baby will be delivered?

We recommend that you first clarify with your current OB-GYN provider where he or she has hospital privileges and, as a result, will be delivering your baby.

Learning to look away

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford I remember quite well the sidewalk, sunburned grass sneaking its way through the child-counted cracks. The building was nothing special, more akin to an oversized stone block rather than an office of award-winning medical care. The waiting room was pleasant enough, thoughtfully dressed in child friendly decor. Tattered coloring books mixed with sanitized toys served as a distraction while parent filled out necessary paperwork. Being an odd child, I found the pamphlets and sparse medical journals more appealing than the Sesame Street figurines or toys of varying size and sound. Maybe that explains why I often hid under the carefully cleaned chairs, behind the plainly painted doors or found it necessary to visit the little girls room every five seconds, just for good measure. No different than now, I simply wasn’t easily distracted when pain was imminent. I knew why I was there.

Recently, in keeping with my odd ways, while others were basking in joy, intent on celebration and awed by the beauty that is a blushing bride, I couldn’t help but remember trips to the doctor’s office as a child. No matter what my Mom would promise, I was certain there would be a shot. An otherwise fabulous day would be interrupted by a painful prick. In order to keep me from displaying my masterful skills of escape, my mom would gently and desperately try to convince me to look away.

“Isn’t that photo of that random, lifeless bird beautiful?” she would say, doing her very best to get me to look in the opposite direction from the pending good day

interruption. From making extremely odd faces, to dancing, even attempting to entice me with the promise of ice cream, she would try everything to get me to look away from the needle resting on the nurse’s table. She failed more often than not. I knew what was coming. I knew why I was there. Ice Cherimie cream was not going to fix this.

Crane Weatherford Today, I am preparing to watch my very best friend marry a man who makes her heart sing. Friends and family are traveling from all of the country to join her on this most special day. She has asked me to stand by her side as she takes his hand and begins her new journey. Any normal female would fill her mind with thoughts of fun, fodder and bridal dresses adorned in layers of lavender, instead, I find myself preparing to look away.

It isn’t my preference to avoid the spotlight that has my stomach in knots and my heart in shambles — it is the fact that her “I do” will be leading her to Spain. Never feeling deep hatred for a country before, this is a new dilemma.

I am sure there are plenty of beautiful people in Spain, there is no reason they should require another. Doing my very best to keep my hands from shaking, my heart from breaking and my bridal party makeup from erupting into mayhem, I will fluff her train, hold her bouquet and hand her the ring to place on the hand she will hold.

On the ride to the ceremony, I counted trees, I noticed flowers and took breaths deeper than any river. This is her

day, her story, my tears will just have to wait. And wait they did, until she walked down the aisle. I couldn’t tell you what music was playing, who was in the audience or even the colors of the decor. I can tell you the first day we met, the first fight we had, her favorite color, her biggest fears, her favorite song, the pitch of her laugh, even her favorite way to eat eggs. She is my best friend. Staring at the grass did no good, with each step she took I replayed some portion of my life that simply wouldn’t not have been the same without her beside me. Knowing that kidnapping her was not only a felony but completely inappropriate during a wedding, I did the only thing I knew to do.

Momma would be proud, I finally looked away. Not really the portrait of the perfect Maid of Honor, but I knew Lydia would understand. I had too. One of life’s most prickly sticks is heading my way. Of course, we will visit.

No doubt we will keep in touch. It just isn’t the same.

It is the double-edged sword of friendship. She is happy, she is beautiful and he loves her dearly. Wanting only the very best for her, I smile during photos, bustle her gown, hand over her very favorite lip gloss and light a sparkler as she rides away. My days, and my closet, will not be the same without her nearby. There is something so special, so rare as the bond of a woman and her best friend. We know each others strengths, weaknesses, shoe size and boiling point. Although we both know distance is only a number, I will miss her greatly. I have no doubt that she understands why I might just have to look the other way.

I know what is coming, I know why I am here. Ice cream isn’t going to fix this.

Water Fest Tales: Why BMH occupies such prime real estate

By Anita Beer

When I first moved to Beaufort many years ago, I was chatting with a friend about all the entertaining options available during the annual Water Festival. She preferred the traditional route — enjoying the concerts, good food and fun themes presented each night.

While I enjoyed those events as well, I was more curious about the river route, which of course includes the sandbar. I had heard multiple stories of “experiences” at the sandbar during Water Fest, and I so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Finally, a few years later, we were invited out on our friend’s boat.

I was a little intimidated. I hated myself in a bathing suit, didn’t like my new haircut, and where, oh where, was I to go when I had to use the bathroom?

Despite my reservations, I simply had to see for myself if all the crazy stories could possibly be true. I sucked in my tummy, did the best I could with my haircut, and even made the mistake of putting on mascara. Off we went.

I was completely amazed by how many boats and people were crammed onto that tiny piece of sand!

We tied up about 10 boats out and proceeded to set up shop — coolers, grills, sunscreen, jump off the boat and head for the crowd.

First mistake: Know the tides. I walked with little effort to the sandbar.

Getting back was a different story. How did the water get this high? That’s when I learned about boat hopping. I jumped from boat to boat until I got back to our mother ship.

Second mistake: Leaving the mother ship. When I got back to the boat from

the sandbar, the large raft that I was so hoping to rest on was already filled.

Fortunately, I spied a cute little purple chair float just two boats down, and no one was on it. Yay! I proceeded to carefully step on the chair, but it immediately flipped me over into the river. There I was, stuck upside down under this stupid purple chair, tide coming in strong, friends otherwise “occupied,” and I couldn’t get above water! Panic quickly set in. I just knew I was going to drown. I was probably under water for approximately 10 seconds when I saw a hand come down to pull me to safety. Thank you, whoever you were.

Needless to say, my hair was a dripping mess, I had mascara streaming down my face, and I was ready to go home. I stomped back to the boat, all the while my friends were rolling with laughter.

Imagine that, a near death experience

and they thought it was funny!

At that moment, steaming with anger, I just happened to glance beyond the sandbar and the river and over at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Voila!

My light bulb went off. Of course it makes sense that they planted a medical care facility right on the river on prime Beaufort real estate. I believe they did it solely because of Water Festival.

As the years pass, each time I tell that story, my underwater time increases. I am now up to about 45 minutes under water. (Never ruin a good story with the truth!)

But the moral of my story is this: Even though our hospital is conveniently located for you adventurous young rivergoers, I hope all who partake in the sandbar festivities this summer will use caution, be safe, and stay away from floating chairs. They are evil!

The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc is wholly enjoyable

By Celia Strong

Our wine this week will take us half way around the world, half way down into the Southern Hemisphere. Made from a husband and wife team, The Better Half is wholly enjoyable, and there is a whole lot to learn about this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

In this country that neighbors Australia, the wines of any given vintage are six months older than California wines from the same vintage — so they are six months older than any Northern Hemisphere wine. They harvest in March while we harvest in September and October.

The very first vineyard in New Zealand was established by the Catholic Church, in 1851, in Hawkes Bay on the North Island. The growth of the wine industry in New Zealand was slow because they had more emphasis on protein and dairy products for many years. It was not until the 1960’s and 1970’s, with trade regulations changing when Britain entered the European Economic Community, that New Zealanders could opt for more profitable products like wine.

I know we’ve heard this before, but I for one only remember it occasionally, like when we do another New Zealand wine. The 1960’s also saw the end of the “six o’clock swill.” Pubs went from being open for only one hour after a work day to more hours. And, restaurants started letting customers bring in their own bottles of wine for dinner. And, young New Zealanders, having traveled outside their own country, learned to like wine and thought it worth making a part of their lives when they returned home. Talk about lifestyle changes.

With all of this, the 1970’s saw the first vintage wine produced in New Zealand. The first Sauvignon Blanc, the core of their wine industry, was made in 1977. In the 1980’s, wineries, mostly in Marlborough on the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand, started making Sauvignon Blancs that were highly touted. New Zealand Sauvignon took over as the “best in the world.”

Most of the vineyards of New Zealand have soil that is alluvial. This is based on local sandstone (sandy soil over slate shingles) — it drains well and

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

This week’s wine is a Sauvignon Blanc from a winery in Marlborough, New Zealand. It has aromas of lime, melon and guava along with black currant and gooseberries. The flavors are tropical with citrus notes, guava and melon, all with a backbone of linear acidity. It goes well with seafood, goat cheeses, herbs, most vegetables, and salads of all kinds. A perfect summer white. is not overly fertile so the vines are forced to “work.” Surrounded by water, the climate is maritime — cooler summers, mild winters (all six months off from ours), and cool nights even in the hottest summers. All this comes together in a long growing season and consistently grows grapes that have high acidity. On the South Island, no vineyard is more than 80 miles from the coast.

Now, when it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, wine drinkers either like this grape or they don’t. And, of those who do like it, they either like or don’t like New Zealand style Sauvignon Blanc.

This is the widely planted variety in New Zealand. This grape is known for its refreshing, fruity acidity. Although, if it is picked too late, it loses both its acidity and its leafy pungency.

Most Sauvignon Blanc is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve its youthful fruitiness.

The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine that is made by George Elworthy at his winery in Malborough, New Zealand.

And most Sauvignon Blancs are drunk younger, again, because they taste fresher with their acidity at full force.

The most classical European Sauvignon Blancs come from France’s Loire Valley, Sancerre and PouillyFumé, with less expensive but still good versions coming from other towns in the middle of the valley. These wines have more minerality, a major distinction when compared to New Zealand’s. In Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is often blended with Semillon, and sometimes some Muscadelle. In the United States, meaning mostly California, many vineyards are too warm for Sauvignon Blanc. But necessity is the mother of adapting, and California has developed its own style for this variety that is more full-bodied, slightly sweet-ish, often oaked, and sometimes called Fumé Blanc.

In New Zealand, wines from Sauvignon Blanc are extravagantly forceful, with a fruity style. Marlborough is the benchmark; these wines have bold flavors. And, get this, some scientists think the development of these distinctive flavors are encouraged by the holes in the ozone layer in that part of the world. Vigorous Sauvignon Blanc vines do very well in dry, gravelly

vineyards. Some growers, to enhance different characteristics in their grapes, harvest them at different intervals. At their most unripe, the grapes are high in malic acid — the biting acid of a Granny Smith apple. A bit more ripe and the grapes tend to red and green bell pepper flavors, and more balanced sugars. In Marlborough vineyards, different tracts of grapes are always ripening at different speeds. Blending all the grapes together gives the wines their distinct flavor profile. Citrus, including grapefruit and lime, guava, black currant, green grass, tart apple are all typical New Zealand flavors.

Most winemakers in New Zealand prefer to ferment their grapes in stainless steel to maintain the sharp focus and flavor intensity in their wines.

This week’s wine is called The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc. Is that a great name or what? There is a good reason for the name that came from winemaker, and instigator, George Elworthy. George worked as a winemaker for many years but he got tired of it and sort of quit.

His wife, Jules Taylor, is a well-known winemaker. She is a Marlborough girl who makes superb Sauvignon Blancs on her own. George got talked into making wine again, though, and decided to call his the Better Half — because he believes he is Jules’ better half.

His Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of lime, melon and guava along with black currant and gooseberries. The flavors are tropical with citrus notes, guava and melon, all with a backbone of linear acidity — that’s how George describes the wine.

Like most New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, the Better Half goes well with shellfish; seafood; goat cheeses, especially Feta; herbs such as thyme, basil, tarragon, parsley; most vegetables whether grilled, baked, sautéed or fried; and salads of all kinds.

More than most grapes, Sauvignon Blanc makes a food wine. For some of us, trying it with food is a way to start liking it. Then, pretty soon, you just like it. And, that is the Better Half! A then you can have a whole glass because that’s way better than a half.

You can find this wine for only $12.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.

Salmonella: Pathogen of politics

By Tracie Korol

Any food in the commercial food stream can present a bio-hazard. Lunch meats at the deli are notorious for being Listeria vectors. We’re told not to rinse our factory chickens before cooking to reduce the risk of splashing Salmonella all over the kitchen. My personal foodbacteria creep-out is the lemon slice in every restaurant water/iced tea glass.

They’re fingered by everyone — from the folks who pick the fruit, the people in the packing plants, the back-room handlers all the way down to the waitron who slices it at the bar — and rarely, if ever, washed. (Source: my son, the chef.)

Recently, the FDA announced new guidelines for feeding our pets: Do not feed raw food because of the risk of Salmonella. But why just raw food?

Why not kibbles that are recalled every week? Salmonella lives just about everywhere and has adapted well to diverse environments, can survive for weeks in water and years in the soil. It thrives when conditions of humidity, temperature and pH are favorable in areas like sitting water, wet soil shielded from the sun, and unclean fecal contaminated areas.

Its principal habitat is the intestinal tract of humans and animals. Dogs generally have low stomach pH and shorter GI tracts than humans meaning their stomach acid makes it harder for Salmonella to make it all the way through. That’s why our people friends complain about having “stomach flu” for a day or so while our dog friends do not. Most likely a dirty lemon. There has been no known reported incidence of human beings being infected with Salmonella by raw-fed cats and dogs.

Salmonella can be found in up to 36% of all healthy dogs regardless of the food they consume. Many pets harbor these bacteria as a part of their normal GI flora and naturally shed Salmonella organisms in feces and saliva regardless of what food they eat. If a body’s immune system is sound, bad bacteria

Recently, the FDA announced new guidelines for feeding our pets: Do not feed raw food because of the risk of Salmonella.

But why just raw food? Why not kibbles that are recalled every week? are typically kept in check by the good flora of the intestines.

As you know, I am a proponent for feeding dogs real food as much as it is financially feasible. And as you know, I think kibble, even the best, is still fast food processed from creamed mysterious body parts, chemicals and unpronounceable additives in factories that may or may not have good cleaning crews that then sits in bags for undisclosed periods of time in un-refrigerated warehouses. Even more unappealing than dirty lemons.

If you are a reasonably tidy sort and you personally manage what foods go into your family — and your dog is family, too — then you can be fairly content knowing that Salmonella is probably not going to be an issue. If your food came from a reputable source (hopefully, a local farm), if you handle it properly and prepare it well, whether you choose to feed raw or choose to cook for your Best Friend, you should not be faced with the symptoms. But kibble is currently the prime culprit in pet-related Salmonella outbreaks, not real food. Check out the FDA’s own website (FDA.gov) for a list of processed pet foods currently under recall for Salmonella, among other

nasties. New recalls are added every day.

So why is the FDA picking on raw foods? Because there’s no lobby for real food. Because there’s a lot of money backing commercially prepared foods.

For instance, the Associated Press reported that Schering-Plough Corp. spent half a million dollars in the third quarter of 2008 to lobby on veterinary products, drug pricing and food-based

issues. One lobby group spent $500,000 in three months? Just imagine how much money is spent in total by Big Ag and Big Pharm lobbyists alone. After all, the APPA (American Pet Products Association) projects $58.51 billion will be spent on US pets in 2014. It’s a huge and growing market. Everyone wants a bit of that Big Money.

But what about your Best Friend?

Feed raw if you think it will make your pet happier and healthier. Just be smart, that’s all.

• Store raw food in the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator; • Store kibble in a sealed container out of reach of children; • Don’t allow children to handle the dog’s food. If they do, make sure they wash their hands afterward; • Properly wash hands, all bowls, utensils and contact surfaces after handling the dog’s food (kibble or raw); • Limit time raw food is held at room temperature during feeding to less than 2 hours and dispose of food left out for periods longer than this; • Pick up your dog’s poop and always wash your hands with soap and warm water afterward.
