Store supports YMCA reading program The Dollar General Literacy Foundation recently donated $2,000 toward the YMCA of Beaufort County’s Summer Learning Loss Prevention initiatives. The Y’s learning loss prevention program focuses on children entering first and second grade at Whale Branch Elementary School who are most at risk of falling behind in their reading skills over the summer months. The program is one of three pilot programs being tested by YMCA of the USA, the resource office for the nation’s Ys, as part of the nonprofit’s efforts to address gaps in academic achievement among the

nation’s most disadvantaged youth. The goal of the Y’s pilot program is to help children read at grade level by the third grade — a key educational milestone that is important to children’s ongoing knowledge retention and academic performance. “We know that the combination of extended learning and enrichment activities is essential to increasing children’s success in school, and we are dedicated to helping more kids achieve their potential,” said Kaylin Garst, operations director, YMCA of Beaufort County. As a leading nonprofit focused on

youth development, the Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen. The YMCA of Beaufort County is one of 43 Ys across the country offering the summer learning loss prevention pilot program this year, which complements the Y’s other educational programming, including traditional camp programs that are located on site at the Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal, serving approximately 400 children ages 3-15 years old, as well as an additional 200 students within Jasper County.

news briefS Carjacking, shots fired being investigated

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a carjacking incident that occurred outside a Kinloch Road home early Saturday, July 13. Just after 1 a.m. Saturday, deputies responded to Kinloch Road in reference to a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, deputies met with a 40-year-old male who reported that he had been shot at and had his car stolen by two unknown black males. The victim advised that he was driving to his girlfriend’s home at 952 Kinloch Road when he noticed a large tree branch lying in the driveway. As he got out of the car to move the branch, he heard a male’s voice from the nearby woods. When he noticed two men coming out of the woods, one armed with a handgun and the other with a shotgun, the victim dropped the branch and ran to his girlfriend’s home, leaving his vehicle running in the driveway. As he was running he heard shots being fired behind him. The victim was able to make it inside the home uninjured. It was then discovered that several rounds had entered his girlfriend’s home and also damaged her vehicle. When the shooting ceased, the victim went back outside, and he found that his own vehicle was gone. The victim’s vehicle, a blue 2013 Dodge Challenger was recovered later Saturday afternoon when it was reported abandoned off of nearby Stroban Road. The vehicle was undamaged. The suspects were described only as black males dressed in dark clothing, one wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and the other had long hair. The motive for the incident remains undetermined. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Staff Sgt. J. Fraser at 843255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

Sheriff ’s Office investigating shooting

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting incident that occurred at Beaufort home Saturday, July 13 evening. Deputies responded to the residence at 10 Glaze Drive at approximately 6 p.m. Saturday evening in reference to a report of a gunshot victim. Upon arrival, contact was made with a 55-year-old male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. The victim was unable to provide any information due to the extent of his injuries. The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial and eventually transferred to MUSC where he remains in stable condition. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Staff Sgt. J. Fraser at 843255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

Lady’s Island shooting suspect arrested

The suspect in last night’s shooting incident that left one man injured has been arrested. Twenty-nine-year-old Malcolm Maurice Brabham was arrested by Sheriff ’s Office investigators Tuesday afternoon. During the course of the ongoing investigation, investigators were able to track Brabham down at a worksite on Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton. Brabham was arrested without incident just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 16. The investigation into the events leading up to and including the shooting of 33-year-old Chadwick Mitchell continues. Deputies had responded to the area of 20 River Drive at approximately 9:30 p.m. Monday night in reference to a reported gunshot victim. Upon arrival, contact was made with Mitchell, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. Mitchell was able to advise

that he’d been shot by his brother-in-law, Malcolm Brabham. Mitchell advised that he had spent the evening riding around with Brabham having drinks. Eventually the men stopped and picked up a female friend. The three continued driving around, however, the men began to argue when Mitchell accused Brabham of cheating on Mitchell’s sister with the female riding with them. During the course of the argument, the female decided to exit the vehicle and walked away, leaving the two men to continue their argument. The men continued driving to the area of Holly Hall Road and Little Capers Road where Brabham stopped the car. Mitchell exited the vehicle as the dispute continued to escalate. At that time, Brabham retrieved a handgun and shot Mitchell in the torso. Brabham then fled the area, leaving Mitchell wounded on the roadside. Mitchell walked to a nearby home on River Drive where he sought help from residents. He was transferred to MUSC, where he remains in stable condition. In addition to charges of Attempted Murder and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Violent Crime for last night’s shooting, Brabham will also be charged on other unrelated outstanding warrants to include Violation of Probation, Criminal Domestic Violence, and multiple Magistrate Court bench warrants.

Catching up: Part III By Danette Vernon

If we start out behind in life, due to a poor childhood, or a wasted youth, or both, can we ever really catch up? It depends on the story you tell yourself and your staying power. For example, if you develop the idea early on that you are smarter than everyone else, it may take a catastrophic upheaval to pull that idea down and even then it may creep back up. If your parents passed on to you the idea that you will never be good enough, every time you feel happy, depression may knock at your door and whisper, “How could you possibly be happy here?” The result? You’re stuck in bed and avoiding life for yet another year. The story we tell ourselves about the world and our part in it is pretty much

Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon set by our third decade in life. We will believe ourselves and our stories even to the contrary of reality now. Our coping methods — sheer drops into depression, or the heights of arrogance — can become our worst enemies if we aren’t willing to re-write the original story that is marching us along. It’s the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue,” all over again. The song, “A Boy Named Sue,” tells of a father naming his newborn son “Sue” on his way out the door, hoping to strengthen the boy

in his absence. Naturally, it worked. The boy became a fighter. The boy became a man, but he never understood the gift in his name until a blood and guts fight with his Pa, wherein the intent is revealed. So it is with our own darker moments until we see the gift in each one, we can only be defined by their severity. As for the power to be found in commitment and roots, Meg Jay in her book, “The Defining Decade, Why Your Twenties Matter — And How To Make the Most of Them Now,” further fleshes out the old saying, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Meg tells us that you need to struggle in order to develop a sense of mastery or accomplishment. She says that, “If you’re in your twenties and

don’t feel anxious and incompetent at work, you are probably overconfident and underemployed.” If you exit a difficult situation or call your moma every time things get a little messy, you may fail to develop inner self-assurance, and you may ultimately become disillusioned with yourself and your abilities. You become a character from “Who Moved My Cheese.” There is hope, however, for many of us who start out behind. Turn that “Boy Named Sue” instinct for resistance into poetry, crusades, or advocacy for others who have fallen along life’s path. If you start now there is at least the possibility that because of, rather than despite your struggles in life, you may become more, rather than less, than those who picked up life’s basic lessons early on.

Beaufort Memorial nurse honored with DAISY award Beaufort Memorial Hospital nurse Morgan Lotz didn’t think anything of it when the children of a dying patient asked permission to bring their mother’s longtime companion to her room to say goodbye. Never mind the visitor was a scruffy old dog. “The dog meant the world to her,” Lotz said. “They wanted their mother to spend the last moments of her life with her best friend.” Lotz made a couple of phone calls and cleared the way for the unusual four-legged visitor. Later that night, the 92-year-old woman passed away. The compassionate gesture earned Lotz the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go above and beyond the call of duty. Last week, hospital administrators surprised her with the award at the end of her 12-hour shift. “We don’t usually allow dogs in the hospital, but Morgan was willing to take the extra steps to make it happen,” said Dot Rucker, department director of the 5th floor. “She wanted to do whatever she could to comfort the family during a very difficult time.”

RIGHT: Beaufort Memorial nurse Morgan Lotz with Robbie Robertson, who nominated her for the DAISY Award because of the special care she gave his friend.

Although the patient was unconscious, her daughter laid the dog, named Maddie, on the bed next to her mother. “It was so sweet,” Lotz recalled. “The dog rested its head on the patient’s chest and just laid there quietly. It was a very emotional moment for the family.” In appreciation of her kindness, the patient’s family recently gave Lotz a framed print of a wolf, part of a collection of Native American artwork owned by their mother.

“I was very surprised when it was presented to me,” Lotz said. “It’s a very cool print. I have it hanging in my home.” In addition, a family friend, Beaufort resident Robbie Robertson, decided to nominate Lotz for a DAISY Award. Anyone can nominate a nurse for the prestigious award. Applications are available throughout the hospital. The DAISY Award was created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before

he died. It has since been adopted by healthcare facilities all over the world. Unaware she had been nominated for the award, Lotz was caught off guard again when she was called in early Wednesday morning to speak to her supervisor. “When my manager told me the boss wanted to see me, I got a little nervous,” Lotz recounted. “I was in utter shock when I walked into the room and saw all these people standing there with balloons.” The 23-year-old nurse was given an engraved vase full of daisies and a trophy titled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a hand-carved sculpture created by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. “Caring for patients and their family is the whole reason I became a nurse,” Lotz said. “I feel like I’m making a difference.”

BMH Transitional Care Program marks first anniversary

egistered nurse Latoya Bryan only has to step on a scale to measure the success of a community wellness initiative started at her church a year ago by Beaufort Memorial Hospital. The Yemassee resident — one of the volunteers at the Family Worship Center trained by BMH to monitor the health of church members with chronic illnesses — has lost 30 pounds herself. “I didn’t want to be a hypocrite,” said Bryan. “If I was going to tell people they should exercise and eat a healthier diet, I had to do it myself.” She had another incentive as well. “My father has diabetes and hypertension,” Bryan said. “I needed to make changes in my lifestyle and lose weight, or I was going to end up with the same health issues.” It’s been a year since Beaufort Memorial started the Transitional Care Program, funded by a grant from Duke University, to try to reduce the number of patients readmitted to the hospital for chronic diseases, specifically congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia. As part of the program, a team of health care professionals, which might include a respiratory therapist, physical therapist, dietician, and pharmacist, as needed, led by a nurse practitioner, meet with patients before they leave the hospital to discuss lifestyle changes, answer questions regarding medications and educate about the disease process in general. Additionally, the hospital makes an effort to arrange for these chronic disease patients to see a primary care practitioner after they leave the hospital so their care will continue. The next phase of the program, scheduled to be implemented later this month, will include the nurse practitioner following up with heart failure patients in their homes for 90 days post-discharge to assist in managing their care.

McNeil, Anthony Pryor , Dennis Capers, Ernest Wright, Phyllis Grant, Lillian Toomer, Martha Fields, Ida Atkinson, Patricia Goings, Director/ Coordinator Health & Wellness ministry.

To reinforce the importance of compliance, BMH enlisted the help of seven area churches, many of which already had educational health programs. “We know in the Lowcountry there is a high incidence of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure,” said Patricia Goings, director of the Health and Wellness Ministry at Family Worship Center. “A lot of the medical problems people have are related to the southern culture.” While lifestyle, including things like diet and cooking, is often based in tradition, Goings hopes by increasing awareness through education, residents will learn more healthy options. Family Worship Center Health & Wellness Ministry celebrated the first anniversary of the partnership with the hospital this past weekend. “I have to acknowledge Pastor Jeanette Harley for encouraging this ministry to exist, and her desire to empower and have all churches in the area form a Health

& Wellness ministry,” said Goings. More than 100 members of the African-American congregation have now registered for the twice-a-month screenings offered during the regular Sunday services. The volunteers conducting the tests keep a record of the patients’ blood pressure, weight, blood sugar and other vital signs, allowing them to track any deterioration in health. “The idea is to catch a problem early before it requires hospitalization,” said Kathy Phillips, a registered nurse and diabetes educator at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center.“For instance, if a patient with congestive heart failure gains three to five pounds in a 24 hour period, it can indicate excess fluid weight gain.” Along with training for the volunteers, BMH provided each church with medical equipment, including a stethoscope, scale and blood pressure cuff as well as a sign to promote the free screenings to the community. Most of the volunteers using the equipment have prior medical experience. More importantly, they know the congregants participating in the program. “Patients are more receptive to people they see every week at church than a doctor they see every three months,” Bryan said. “About 95 percent of them have made some kind of lifestyle change to improve their health.” The screenings are free and open to the public. Participating churches include St. Helena and Faith Memorial Baptist Church on St. Helena Island, Mt. Carmel Baptist in Seabrook, Grace Chapel AME and Tabernacle Baptist in downtown Beaufort and The Link Church in Port Royal. “It’s been a blessing. We’re helping people manage their medical issues and prevent other illnesses,” said Goings. “Knowing that we are helping to make the difference makes it worth our time and effort to keep the program going.”

GRAND OPENING IN BEAUFORT TINGLING? NUMBNESS? LEG PAIN? FOOT PAIN? Everyday we have more success relieving (the effects of) Neuropathy.

NOW It’s Your Turn for Relief! NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!

Do You Suffer From THESE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY?

That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.

• • • • • • •

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.

TIngling / Numbness Pins and Needles Hot / Burning Cold / Chilled Electric Like / Shocking Tightness / Vice-Like Swelling and Pressure

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY? Neuropathy has many different causes. The most common metabolic cause that we see in our office is in patients with diabetes. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy. As if the pain, numbness, swelling, burning, tingling, sleepless nights, balance issues, along with all the other symptoms that go along with neuropathy aren’t bad enough, approximately 86,000 Americans each year undergo amputations as a result of uncontrolled neuropathy.

Which came first: The smile or the happiness? By Dr. Stephen Durham

There’s nothing shallow about wanting a brighter smile. Straight, white teeth make you look younger and feel better about your appearance. That confidence can energize every aspect of living, from work to family to love life. A confident, happy appearance inspires confidence from others, too, and it prompts a good reception at work, at home and everywhere you go. Research gives us some surprising insights about the impact of your smile. One study demonstrated that a smile improves a person’s attractiveness — to both men and women — more than make-up. Another study revealed that a person’s teeth topped the list of what makes them attractive. More than hair and clothes, more than hands and nails, more than the car they drive. Human beings are hard-wired to team up with others who look healthy and capable. A bright, strong smile signals those qualities in a way everybody understands. Patients find that it is possible and practical to achieve their own best smile. We work with them closely to choose the path that suits them best. Today’s options for lighting up that smile are better than ever, because advances in cosmetic dentistry put the smiles that improve people’s lives well within their reach.

One of the quickest improvements can come from ZOOMTM Whitening. In about an hour this technology gives dazzling results. Some patients choose an affordable, professional-strength at-home alternative for whitening. The methods to straighten teeth when they’re crowded, cracked, crooked or misaligned are so much better today than years ago. Thanks to new “smile makeover” technology and advances in dental materials we can literally change a person’s smile in as few as two visits. Many people don’t realize that they no longer have to start young, take years or wear visible braces to get the smooth, even alignment they would like to have. For instance, the Six Month SmileTM is a fast, almost invisible way to reach that goal without showing braces to the world. Recontouring teeth, to sculpt more attractive edges, improves comfort and function too. And implants are a natural looking way to replace missing teeth. Not only are the options for an ideal smile better today, but the way of achieving it doesn’t have to involve any discomfort. Thanks to sedation dentistry, many patients are able to relax, even sleep, through their appointments. An attractive smile is a real asset in every facet of life, and it is easier to achieve today than ever before.

Intelligent investing By Arthur Levin

Jason Zweig has written one of the best personal finance columns for years, “The Intelligent Investor” for the Wall Street Journal. Recently he topped it with a piece that describes his vision of personal finance writing. He describes his job as saving investors from themselves. It is a must read, but I’ll give you a couple of excerpts here: “That’s because good advice rarely changes, while markets change constantly. The temptation to pander is almost irresistible. And while people need good advice, what they want is advice that sounds good. The advice that sounds the best in the short run is always the most dangerous in the long run. “Everyone wants the secret, the key, the roadmap to the primrose path that leads to El Dorado: the magical low-risk, high-return investment that can double your money in no time. Everyone wants to chase the returns of whatever has been hottest and to shun whatever has gone cold. Most financial journalism, like most of Wall Street itself, is dedicated to a basic principle of marketing: When the ducks quack, feed ‘em. In practice, for most of the media, that requires telling people to buy Internet stocks in 1999 and early 2000; explaining,

in 2005 and 2006, how to ‘flip’ houses. “It’s no wonder that, as brilliant research by the psychologist Paul Andreassen Arthur Levin showed many years ago, people who receive frequent news updates on their investments earn lower returns than those who get no news. It’s also no wonder that the media has ignored those findings. Not many people care to admit that they spend their careers being part of the problem instead of trying to be part of the solution. Our job, as I see it, is to learn from other people’s mistakes and our own. Above all, it means trying to save people from themselves. As the founder of security analysis, Benjamin Graham, wrote in The Intelligent Investor in 1949: ‘The investor’s chief problem — and even his worst enemy — is likely to be himself.’ ” This article was written by Dorsey Wright and Associates and provided by Arthur Levin, Senior Vice President – Investments, Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, Beaufort, South Carolina, 843524-1114.

Who survives the deadliest type of heart attack?

James Harvey, for one. He didn’t know he was having the deadliest kind of heart attack, but when he arrived at Beaufort Memorial, an interventional cardiologist at the hospital’s Duke-affiliated Cochrane Heart Center did. The surgeon quickly performed percutaneous coronary intervention, an emergency procedure that saved James’ life. Now his heart is back where it belongs—in the heart of the Lowcountry woods.

Uncle John is coming! By Will McCullough

Yep, you heard me, “Uncle John is coming!” Maybe for some who have transplanted to the Lowcountry, a visit by “Uncle So-and-So”, “Aunt Who’s-it” or maybe even “Grandma Gettin’-YourRoom-Again” may not be a big deal. Heck, it may even be a hassle. Not so at the SC McCullough household. Truth be told, we don’t get to see a lot of family visitors around our place. It’s not their fault though, my Mom and Dad both died way too early, several decades ago, and both my brothers, John and Mike, now have lives of their own. Hopping in the car for a 30 hour round trip is just not something that easily fits into their schedule, especially when there are now also grown kiddos randomly scattered up and down the coast. However, a few weeks ago, I received some really exciting news. I understand that, due to my poor title choice, the surprising aspect of this news may now be lost, but (pause for effect) my big brother John recently called and said he was coming to visit. I had not seen John in nearly two years and to know that he and his wife, Leeann, had a rare opportunity to make the trip down to see us made me very happy. Here’s the deal: John is a college professor at a respected university near where I grew up in Pennsylvania. He’s

also got three awesome sons, all in their twenties and late teens. In short, he’s a busy guy and genuinely so. It therefore should go without saying that an upcoming moment like this would be very much worth its weight in gold to the Beaufort Chapter of Clan McCullough. While I personally grew up in a Norman Rockwell world of extended family get-togethers and cook-outs every weekend, I have always deeply lamented the fact that my kiddos have not been able to enjoy the same type of family connection/life experience that my childhood contained. So, in a nutshell, “Uncle John is coming” was pretty darn exciting news around our place. If you’ve been embarrassingly bored enough to read a few of my previous columns, you may already know that before becoming involved in the local real estate market, I was a U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor. And, you may further know, if there’s one thing that a DI can do (besides make your life a living hell if need be), it’s “plan and schedule.” So, for many years, I’ve fantasized about

the island news | july 18-24, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

I wanted my brother John to be able to experience as many of my favorite aspects of “Beaufort living” as possible in two short days. what would make the “Perfect Family Visit to Beaufort” for members of my extended clan. Think of it as Chevy Chase in “Christmas Vacation” meets “The Big Chill” with just a dash of Jillian Michaels from “The Biggest Loser.” John’s past visits had been mostly conversation and catching up. But this time, I knew that I wanted John to finally be able to personally experience as many of my favorite aspects of “Beaufort Living” as possible in two short days. Guess what? He did! On Saturday, we browsed the aisles of LuLu Burgess, Fordham Market, Bay Street Jewelers, had lunch at Plums and then strolled along the Waterfront Park. Sunday morning, we put in our boat at the landing beside Lady’s Island Marina, guided our sunscreen-soaked relations up the river, showed them dolphins and ospreys, went tubing, introduced them to the sandbar and topped it all off with dinner at the new Dockside location on Lady’s Island. In short, we had a blast. Then they went home. We all wept a bit when they left. All right, maybe more than a bit. Much like Hemingway’s “Old Man of the Sea,”

it can really stink to feel alone, even if simultaneously being embraced by nature’s glory. However, there’s an old saying amongst veterans, “Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.” In a way, a similar concept applies to those looking to move to the Lowcountry. I think that sometimes it may be easiest for one to fully appreciate the Beaufort area if they’ve spent a portion of their lives living elsewhere. As a Realtor, one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is taking folks unfamiliar with Beaufort on a wide ranging general tour of the Lowcountry, showing them not just homes, but everything life in the area has to offer. Most can’t help but fall in love and I honestly can’t blame them, the same thing happened to me just over 20 years ago. The best part, I think we saw some of the same sparks in John and Leeann’s eyes as they got to fully experience a slice of what life is like in the Lowcountry. I’m hoping that maybe, just maybe, those sparks will eventually become a fire and we’ll have two new folks visiting the area looking for a home. Only time will tell but, if so, I know just the agent for them!

A preview of opera comedy ‘Barber of Seville’ By Alan Schuster

“The Barber of Seville” will be on screen at USCB Center for the Arts on Wednesday, July 24, at 1 p.m. “ ‘The Barber of Seville’ with its abundance of real musical ideas, its comic verve and its truthful declamation, is the most beautiful opera buffa in existence.” Giuseppe Verdi wrote this in 1898 — and it’s still true today. No further justification should be needed since Verdi had written his own buffa masterpiece, “Falstaff,” five years earlier. After accepting the commission from Rome’s Teatro Argentina in 1816, Rossini composed and staged it in less than one month. Of course, it helped that he “borrowed” eight of the 15 set pieces in the opera from some of his earlier works, including the brilliant overture which he had used twice before. Cast: Count Almaviva, aka “Lindoro” (tenor); Dr. Bartolo (bass); Rosina (mezzo-soprano); Don Basilio (bass); Figaro (baritone). Setting: 18th century Seville. Act I: Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, and comes to serenade her. He pretends to be a poor student (Lindoro) so that she will not be influenced by his rank. Figaro arrives, formerly Almaviva’s servant and now a barber in Seville. The two overhear Bartolo planning to marry Rosina. Figaro suggests that the Count dress himself as a soldier having the right to be quartered in Bartolo’s home, thus gaining access to Rosina. Rosina has fallen in love with “Lindoro” and uses all of her skill to outwit Bartolo. While the doctor plots with Don Basilio, Rosina’s music teacher, she secures the help of Figaro. When Almaviva arrives in disguise, he discovers that Bartolo is no longer obligated to house the military. The ensuing confusion attracts the police, and the disguised Almaviva avoids arrest only by secretly revealing his identity to an officer. Act II: The Count again tries to visit Rosina, this time

Tenor John Relyea stars as Figaro, the “Barber of Seville.”

dressed as a music teacher, claiming that Don Basilio is ill and that he has been sent as his replacement. He begins a music lesson with Rosina, but Basilio himself arrives. This crisis is resolved but Basilio soon recognizes “Lindoro” and chases him out. During a storm, Almaviva and Figaro climb through a window to free Rosina. Bartolo nearly foils their escape, but through Figaro’s quick thinking, Almaviva and Rosina are united and all are reconciled in time to join in a happy finale. Highlights: Overture: Never a dull note for six minutes. It’s a style Rossini created and made his very own, notably a steady mounting of excitement known as a crescendo. It’s been said that listening to Rossini is often like watching a puppy dog chase its tail. Figaro makes a great first impression, entering the stage with his popular cavatina, “Largo al factotum” — (Make way for the handyman...), in which he sings the praises — of himself. Figaro here, Figaro there, Figaro everywhere! The next scene is a remarkable start-to-finish stretch of Rossini’s distinctive talents. And it lasts about 50 minutes! — beginning with Rosina’s “Una voce poco fa” (I heard a little voice…) — telling of her love for Lindoro. It’s a challenging and beautifully written aria, tempting sopranos to do some embellishments near the end. Once

while sitting in the audience and listening to some flighty improvisations, Rossini turned to a friend and said:“That’s a pretty tune. I wonder who wrote it.” Basilio’s buffa aria, “La calunnia” (Calumny, like a sigh...) is a showpiece for comic characters, in which he plots a “whispering campaign” against Almaviva. It starts softly, but soon the pace becomes a run of quickly spoken words (pattering). This was a “first” for Italian opera and caused an immediate sensation. A very nice duet with Figaro and Rosina follows, leading to another fine aria, “A un dottore” for Dr. Bartolo. Like “calunnia,” it’s a gem of wit and patter. The act’s finale, “Fredda ed immobile” (Awestruck and immovable) is an elaborate and ingenious sextet. Opera historian Charles Osborne defined it as “Rossini at his magnificent best, in which the characters find themselves led by way of a crescendo to a riotous climax.” The highlight of the shorter final act is a quick and catchy trio for Figaro and the elopers, “Ah! Qual colpo inaspettato” (What unexpected bliss...). The delicate phrasing of “zitti, zitti, piano, piano” was an instant hit on the streets of Rome. And very often, Italian audiences demand — and get — an encore for this phenomenal piece. Mozart and Vincenzo Bellini, composers of several of the greatest Italian operas of all time, both died at the age of 37. Rossini, on the other hand, lived to be 77, and yet wrote his last opera, “William Tell,” also at the age of 37. One can only imagine what gifts these composers could have given to the opera world had they lived as long as Verdi who wrote “Falstaff ” when he was 80. Performers: Joyce di Donato (Rosina); Juan Diego Flores (Almaviva); Peter Mattei (Figaro); John del Carlo (Dr. Bartolo); and John Relyea (Basilio). All tickets are $15; no reserved seating. Box office opens at the USCB Center for the Arts one hour before the 1 p.m. curtain. For more information, call 521-4145.

How did it all get started?

THANKS TO ALL THE SPONSORS

The first festival was held in July 1956 with John Bigbee serving as the first President and Gladys Thompson in charge of the visiting queens. The Lions Club took the job of putting on the first parade and has been doing so every year since. In the early days of the festival, it cost 50 cents to attend the Beauty Pageant, $1 per couple to attend the Water Festival Ball (which was later changed to the Commodore’s Ball) and $2 dollars to attend the Regatta Ball. The first weekend featured two days of sailboat races and the Regatta Ball. The following weekend began with the Beauty Pageant on Friday, where the Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands was crowned. The parade and ski show, put on by the Beaufort Water Ski Club, and an air show highlighted the second weekend, in addition to the Water Festival Ball. All events were held on or adjacent to the municipal parking lot and in case of inclement weather (the word “rain” is never used when speaking of the festival), the pageant would move indoors to the Beaufort Elementary School and the balls would be held in the Community Club. As the years went by, the festival began to draw more and more people to Beaufort from other parts of the state and on a national level. Events such as fishing

The absence of monotony, the definition of mayhem

t o K C BA SCHOO L Blowout & Clearance Sale

Deals you missed t week

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

It is similar to the famous Running of The Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, without the horns. It separates the weak from the strong, the social from the awkward and men from boys. Nomads from near and far hear the call and make their way towards the water, the sun, the sand and the beer tent. It is an awakening of sorts, a back to basics of the very essence of summer; a timeless call of nature that reverberates through the bone of every misplaced pirate across our great land. It is the time of year where bikinis replace Cherimie business suits, work Crane surrenders to play and Weatherford common sense bows down to common ground. Hold on to your Koozie, it is Beaufort Water Festival 2013. Women are carefully coated in spray tan and sunscreen, slipping from Mom to Madonna in 10 seconds flat. Men all of ages, sizes, shapes and sentiment instantly morph into maritime masters of mischief as they loosen their ties and their schedules to answer the call of wild. There is no first class, no VIP section, no wardrobe of distinction — and absolutely no making it to work on time. It is the great equalizer of fun, the absence of monotony and the definition of mayhem. Shrimpers, lawyers, waitresses and students converge on the Sandbar with one common goal, to survive the next two weeks and resurface with unforgettable moments and forgivable offenses. The worries of an injured economy, an uncertain government and the latest diet fade as fried chicken and boiled peanuts take priority over just about everything. Facebook fights, frenemy spats, even family feuds are neutralized by the salt water and sunshine. Little care is given to dress code as flip flops and tan lines are a sure sign of happy times. Our downtown streets become meeting place for long lost friends, newly lost dignity and new found respect for aspirin. Our little town by the sea celebrates all that we are, all that we love and all that we try to hide the remainder of the year as we greet our fellow sea lovers with the long awaited “Happy Water Festival!” During the next two weeks we are all the same sunburned seekers of the great escape from all that is wrong in the world. We appreciate the freedom of the tides, the beauty of our town and unspoken agreement amongst friends to edit all photos before posting on Facebook. May the next two weeks bring you joy, laughter, tan lines and good times and leave you without the need for bail, an attorney or a moving company. Happy Water Festival Y’all!

Importance of Dental Cleanings If you think about it, one of the quickest ways to the bloodstream and ultimately the body is through the gums, particularly bleeding gums. It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone. Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings. 20

This summer Thibault is excited to see her second Water Festival T-shirt and bumper sticker design come to life. In 2009, her design displayed Downtown Beaufort’s Riverfront at sunset overlooking the sandbar, a beloved summer location. This year, with the ideas from Commodore Dan Thompson and First Lady Bonnie, Mary wanted to incorporate everything there is to love about Water Festival. The design includes the raft races, the Marine Corp band, the air show, and many other events. Thibault has also designed the 2013 Fishing Tournament T-shirt. As a lifelong Beaufort resident, Thibault has been involved with the Water Festival for many years, painting the faces of hundreds of children and selling her work through her business, Thibault Gallery. Letting her creativity flow through her to a canvas is her passion; however, Mary’s talent does not stop there. Thibault’s work ranges from hand-painted tiles and wine glasses to portraits and wall murals. Both are evident in the hallways

get to know the creative force and culinary genius behind

Southern Graces By Carson Moore

Beaufort is full of hidden treasures, but one of the most exciting — and certainly one of the most delicious — has been operating under our noses for years. Christopher and Bethany Hewitt, the husband and wife team that owns and operates Southern Graces Catering, live to create culinary masterpieces that showcase the Lowcountry’s natural cuisines, as well as a variety of other flavors, including French and Southwestern. Bethany Hewitt, a Tennessee native, explained that food has always been her passion. “When I was in eighth grade, I would sell tickets to my friends to come to my house for afternoon tea. We actually had to go to two seatings, because so many people wanted to come.” Even as a child, Hewitt experimented with new ways of creating food that would excite people. Her afternoon tea events were highlighted by homemade filo dough pastry bowls filled with fruit and cream, served on her grandmother’s china by costumed waiters and waitresses. “My mom and stepfather would dress up for these things,” she said, laughing. As she grew up, Hewitt knew that cooking was definitely the career choice she wanted to pursue. After attending Belmont College and earning a communications degree, she travelled to Europe to broaden her horizons. “I had an opportunity to go to the Netherlands, and studied at a nontraditional cooking school where we lived on and worked for a farm that supplied food for the village we were living in,” she said. Both Bethany and Christopher have had incredibly well-rounded culinary backgrounds. Christopher, a New York native, graduated top in his class from the Culinary 22

Bethany and Chris Hewitt of Southern Graces Catering.

Institute of America in Hyde Park, and “has had a very formal culinary education,” as Bethany describes it. Thanks to his more formal introduction to the food business, Christopher had the opportunity to work closely with celebrity chef Bobby Flay and compete on the Food Network show “Iron Chef ” — twice. For 12 years, he ran Flay’s Mesa Grill in Manhattan, before he and Bethany decided to move Southern Graces from its pre-existing location in Knoxville, Tenn., to Beaufort. After moving their catering business here, Bethany and Christopher partnered with The Beaufort Inn to create not only an event catering service, but a bistro in which patrons can come eat lunch, tea, dinner and even a special Sunday brunch. “We’re now in our fifth year of partnering with them,” Hewitt explained,“And it is, without question, a natural fit for us to be a part of The Beaufort Inn.” Southern Graces controls all of the food and beverage that The Beaufort Inn serves, and makes it the only place in Beaufort where 365 days a year, guests can be served gourmet food for almost any meal of the day. Partnering with The Beaufort Inn has not only allowed the Hewitts

the island news | july 18-24, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

to fine tune their everyday dining menu, but has also given them an opportunity to interact with the community through catered events such as weddings, graduations and birthday parties. “We do this because of the connections that form between people when they sit down to eat together,” Hewitt said with a smile. In the past couple years, the Hewitts opened Southern Graces Soiree downtown at the old firehouse building so they could create an additional venue to host weddings, galas and events. Certainly, Southern Graces does its best to make every experience special and unique for all the people involved. “I want the weddings we do to be more about the bride and groom,” Hewitt explained, “I want people to come in and say, ‘This is exactly what I imagined this couple would have at their wedding.’ ” That philosophy carries over, not only into the company’s wedding celebrations, but into their other catered events as well. For instance, Southern Graces has partnered with Porsche of North America, which has approached Bethany to be their National Event Coordinator, and the company caters many car launches. They will even be putting

on events for Gulfstream this summer. For the Southern Graces crew, these events are a chance to really get outside their comfort zone and expose people to combinations that they had never considered. “We love to do different stations,” Bethany said, “For the Gulfstream event, we’re showcasing our local flair with a tomato carving station. We’ll have red tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, Black Cherokee tomatoes — just basically everything tomato, and people will be able to make their own caprese salad, with herbs and fresh mozzarella.” The event will also feature a watermelon station, called Freshly Southern which will highlight watermelon with fresh slices of melon, a watermelon-shrimp ceviche, as well as watermelon shots: a carved melon shot glass filled with a shot of housemade herb vodka. With all these exciting prospects, you’d think that the folks at Southern Graces would have their hands full, but luckily for the Beaufort community, that’s not the case at all. “We’re going to be opening up a more casual restaurant in town,” Bethany said, “It’ll be called Burlap, and it should generate lots more creativity, and tons more ideas for us here.” While the Hewitts solidify plans for the new restaurant, they’ll continue running the bistro, and the catering company in full force, and plan on introducing more fresh foods to their menus as the local availability changes.

SMOKIN’ PLANKS

By Pamela Brownstein

Larry Plank and his family are still fixin it up low and slow at their popular restaurant in Port Royal, Smokin’ Planks. It’s all about homemade cooking and keeping the menu filled with options based on what customers like best. For example, the smoked meatloaf started out as a special but got such rave reviews that it will now be a main feature. Also new to the menu is the Gatordog. The sausage is a unique blend of pork and alligator, and Larry described using a citrus brine then smoking the dog to give it it’s flavor. Topped with sauce and grilled onions, the Gatordog is awesome, certainly something you won’t find any other place in town. Clockwise from above: Brisket with collards and mac n’ cheese; Gatordog; Smoked halfKim ordered the smoked half chicken chicken with mac n’ cheese and Brunswick stew sides; BBQ spaghetti with Lowcountry platter with a side of mac n’ cheese and potato salad and succotash sides.

wine

Sometimes you just have to be good and ready Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics. Sometimes, old friends are the best. Sometimes old is new. Sometimes you have to re-visit something you’ve forgotten. Sometimes a lot of things. And today, we are at “sometimes.” And, as we will see, sometimes are good times. We travel to Sonoma, California this week. Sonoma is a city, in Sonoma Valley, in Sonoma County. And a source for wines. It can get a bit confusing when you say “Sonoma,” especially when a specific “Sonoma” can make a difference. Despite the reputations of wines from Napa Valley, and many other parts of this state, Sonoma is also considered to be central to California’s wine industry. The city of Sonoma began as a mission of the Franciscan order in 1823. It is still based around the original town square. This mission, the Mission of San Francisco Solano, founded by Father José Altimira of the Franciscan Order in Mexico, was the furthest north of all the 21 California missions. It was also the last to be established and the only one to be founded after Mexico’s independence from Spain. Soon after it was established, the Mexican government started secularizing all the missions and Sonoma came under the supervision of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. (And, yes, some of us have been drinking for long enough to remember the “M G Vallejo” brand!) Vallejo built barracks next to the mission for his soldiers and struggled to control the native tribes in the area. He also had to keep an eye on the Russian settlers who played a part in Sonoma’s early history and development. The General himself owned over 7 million acres which made him one of the largest landowners, one of Sonoma’s most illustrious residents and instrumental in Sonoma becoming the political center of early northern California. General Vallejo encouraged all Americans to come to Sonoma, as long as they did not get too powerful. In 1836, Vallejo was named “Comandante General” of the California territory. But, his partiality toward family and other Mexican citizens finally landed him in jail, in 1846, after the Bear Flag Revolt, by American immigrants, when Sonoma was declared the capital of the new Republic of California. Still, though, Vallejo was instrumental in the new

The current vintage of Murphy-Goode Merlot, 2010, was sourced from vineyards throughout California, many still in Sonoma. town’s development because of his huge landholdings. As far as wine goes, and let’s face it, that’s what we really care about, Sonoma is considered to be the birthplace of winemaking in California. The original Mission San Francisco Solano had vineyards that were maintained throughout the history of the area. The father of California viticulture, “Count” Agoston Haraszthy, who founded Buena Vista Winery in 1857, was responsible for many improvements in the young industry. Of importance to Sonoma, he is credited with introducing Zinfandel grapes (Primitivo grapes from Italy) into the vineyards here. The state’s oldest wine festival, the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival, still takes place late in September every year. Please note, that “sonoma” is the Native American name that means “valley of the moon.” And, yes, we have looked at wines in the past from both Buena Vista Winery and Valley of the Moon Winery. Sometimes, old is new; sometimes looking back again is good; sometimes everything we do (or in our case everything we drink) is sort of connected. Sometimes all is good. For sure. Moving on to more wine info, “Sonoma Valley” is the AVA for wines the we call just “Sonoma.” The AVA is mostly in the southern part of the county, between the Mayacamus Mountains on the east and the Sonoma Mountains on the west. The first vineyards here were planted in 1823, by the Mission. By 1920, there were 256 wineries in Sonoma. Prohibition was as hard on these wineries as any where else in the

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

country, and many of them were not able to continue operating. And, after the repeal of Prohibition, in 1933, recovery was very slow. By 1969, there were only 58 wineries in Sonoma Valley. Then, in the 1970’s and 1980’s, the wine industry finally started to expand here. Official boundaries for the Sonoma Valley AVA were established in 1981, and it became the eighth designated AVA. By 2005, Sonoma was back up to over 250 wineries, and the industry now brings over $8 billion (yep, billion) dollars into the local economy every year. It was during the big surge in winemaking during the 1980’s that three friends, who matter greatly to us, worked together. Tim Murphy, Dale Goode (pronounced just “good”) and Dave Ready founded MurphyGoode Winery in 1985. They were all wine lovers and, while playing a game of Liar’s Dice cards, decided to make it all official. Their first wines were sourced just from the Murphy Ranch and the Murphy-Goode Vineyard in Sonoma. Their first wines were a Fumé Blanc and a Chardonnay. Quickly, though, they developed more sources and more wines and developed a great reputation for red Bordeaux varietal wines and Zinfandels. They gave the name “Liar’s Dice” to one of their Zin wines. Their wines became part of the California wine boom that spread across the United States, particularly their Merlot, during the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. David Ready, Jr. Became the winemaker for Murphy-Goode wines in 2001. He grew up in Minnesota, but wanted to be a rock star so California was the place to be. He was appointed assistant winemaker in

1997. Recently, Murphy-Goode Winery was acquired by Jackson Family Wines (of Kendall Jackson fame), and they plan to continue their growth and standing in the Sonoma County wine business. More money is always good. All of which gets us to our wine for this week — Murphy-Goode Merlot. Like we’ve talked about in previous discussions, Merlot is a cousin to Cabernet, not as heavy a wine, the grape itself often used for blending. At the same time that the Murphy-Goode Winery was starting its business, Merlot wines were being discovered by drinkers in this country as good alternatives to the sometimes too heavy and too harsh California Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Good timing by the three friends. Their use of Bordeaux red varieties at affordable prices was a great decision. The fact that their wines, Merlot in particular, were true to their variety’s flavors and textures made them perfect choices for many wine drinkers. Since the 1990’s, Murphy-Goode Merlot has been velvety with soft tannins, and full of plum, cherry, blueberry, boysenberry, smoke, coffee, chocolate flavors. It is medium-bodied, full enough to go well with many foods (more in a second) and to satisfy many drinkers. Revisiting it sometime, soon, is a good idea. Once a good Merlot, always... The current vintage of MurphyGoode Merlot, 2010, was sourced from vineyards throughout California, many still in Sonoma. The warm weather for this vintage let the Merlot grapes ripen fully for dark fruit character (black cherry, blackberry), while cool nights helped maintain the acidity in the grapes. Barrel aging added notes of thyme and nutmeg on top of the lush fruit flavors. Those who work at the winery now recommend burgers, lamb burgers especially, grilled poultry or seafood, appetizers in general, and lots more with this wine. And, what about “Goode and Ready?” The winery slogan? (Check out the side of your cork when you open your bottle.) Sometimes, not only do you have to be good and ready, you actually can drink good and ready. Oops, that should be Goode and Ready. And good it is and ready we are. For $12.99. Look out. Sometime is now! Hope you’re ready for it. Enjoy.

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

A prescription for trouble By Tracie Korol

It’s accepted practice anymore that whenever you leave any medical office, human or veterinary, you leave with a prescription for antibiotics in hand. Hip replacement, hot spot or head cold and the treatment is usually some form of antibiotic. According to an article by James Hughes of Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia, which was published in February by the Journal of the American Medical Association, as much as 50% of antibiotic use is unnecessary or inappropriate. We have just come to expect it. In 1942 the total amount of antibiotic available in the entire world amounted to about 32 liters of penicillin. Today, some 20 million pounds of antibiotics are used annually in this country alone. (Rates were highest in the Southeast... with 936 prescriptions written per 1000 people). Consider that perhaps 150 to 200 million dogs, cats, and other pets are ingesting antibiotics each year – each of these with the potential to cause resistant strains of bacteria. Horticulturists and farmers use antibiotics to wage war on plant bacteria. Then there’s the recent movement to hyper-hygiene, an attempt to remove any and all “bugs” from the household environment by coating every surface with “protective” antibiotics. There are very real problems associated

The problem with antibiotics is that they’re indiscriminate killers. Good bacteria, bad bacteria, any bacteria that aren’t resistant to the antibiotic will be killed. with antibiotics that every pet owner should be aware of before consenting to their use. Drug resistance arises when drugs knock out susceptible infections, leaving hardier, resilient strains behind. The survivors then multiply, and over time can become unstoppable superbugs, such as MRSA. “In the past, most people haven’t worried because we’ve always had new antibiotics to turn to,” said Alan Johnson, consultant clinical scientist at the Health Protection Agency. “What has changed is that the development pipeline is running dry. We don’t have new antibiotics that we can rely on in the immediate future or in the longer term.” The overuse of antibiotics is creating a worldwide threat of infection that could

have catastrophic results. Antibiotics Kill Bacteria--a good thing, right? The problem with antibiotics is that they’re indiscriminate killers. Good bacteria, bad bacteria, any bacteria that aren’t resistant to the antibiotic will be killed. The majority of the immune system resides in the gut and is reliant on beneficial bacteria that produce vitamins, help in hormone production and outcompete harmful bacteria. Antibiotics will kill these friendly bacteria and lead to the growth of yeast in the body, most

commonly, Candida. The short term benefit of antibiotics has the potential to do real damage to the immune system, leaving dogs more vulnerable to other diseases, as well as the chronic skin and bowel issues caused by yeast overgrowth. One of the jobs of beneficial bacteria is to help manufacture nutrients that are critical to cellular health. Antibiotics will deplete vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 C, E, K inositol and magnesium. This can lead to a plethora of health problems including anemia, diarrhea, behavioral changes, wound healing and immune health, oxidative stress, nerve degeneration and more. In today’s world of processed pet foods enriched with synthetic vitamins and minerals, it’s critical to keep vitamin stores intact because they’re unlikely to be replaced by kibble. The next time you’re faced with a condition that your vet wants to prescribe antibiotics understand that there are both benefits and risks. Better yet, the next time he suggests antibiotics, it might be time to trade your rusty old conventional vet in for a shiny new holistic practitioner who may have some great alternatives to antibiotics.

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.
