Street and out the door to the water beyond. Already a recognized artist with her work in galleries in New York City and Washington, D.C., including the National Portrait Gallery and other Smithsonian galleries, Davenport moved to Beaufort in the early 1990s. In addition to being a member of HBF’s Board of Trustees, she has restored three contributing structures in the National Historic Landmark District. Her carnival series, based on circus sideshow characters,
was the final exhibit in the Arsenal Gallery before the Arsenal was closed for restoration in 2008. That series will be the subject of an exhibit at the McKissick Museum in Columbia in 2012. Two new events have been added to the traditional Fall Festival line-up of Friday’s Twilight Walk, Saturday’s Ramble Around Beaufort and Sunday’s Kitchen & Cuisines Tour, according to Fall Festival coordinator Isabella Reeves. A luncheon and lecture, “Purchasing Antiques for Historic Interiors,” will be held October 21 at noon at Dataw Island Clubhouse, featuring renowned English antiques expert Judith Miller. Also, a late afternoon visit to the Tabby
Ruins on Spring Island, including wine and hors d’ouevres, and performances by the B.J. Scott Choir of Huspah Baptist Church will conclude the tour on Saturday, October 22.

Beaufort Art Association presents:
SEA AND SYMBOLS
The Beaufort Art Association, located at 913 Bay Street, is featuring the raku art of Susan Ellzey through August 20th entitled “Sea and Symbols.” Susan began working with clay and raku firing in 1996 following her retirement as an educator at the college level. For Susan, The world of clay and raku firing continues to be one of discovery, joy, and experimentation. All of the raku works in this exhibit are hand built. The raku firing itself—the post-reduction process—yields exciting and unpredictable results. The theme of sea and symbols is apparent in the unique fish, shells and driftwood. The masks, figurative sculptures, and the suspended and stacked works often evoke myth, legend, and literature. Susan rarely creates a work that she has planned in advance. “The clay whispers and I listen. In other words, the clay leads me. I may intend to design a fish or a cachepot, but as I work the clay, a figure emerges — perhaps a mask or a goddess. Working in clay, forces me to experiment and to work intuitively. Clay expands my creative instincts and enables me to immerse myself in the creative process.” Although largely self-taught, Susan has participated in workshops with Rick Berman, Patricia Hankins, Joe Bova, and Jerry Maschinot — distinguished 3-D artists in their own right. Her first show was held at Gordon College (University System of Georgia) in 2002, and she was the featured 3-D artist in 2005, 2007, and 2009 at the Art League of Hilton Head. This is her second show as the BAA’s featured artist so if you missed the first one, now is your chance to view her work. As a former English professor and college administrator, Susan holds a PhD in Renaissance Literature. Her background in literature enables her to recognize the sculptures and tableau images that emerge from the clay. Creating with clay is more than just a joy. The creative process — especially with raku — is therapeutic, soothing,

Bitty’s Flower Shop, Inc. and restorative. Susan was diagnosed with cancer, a DVT, and pulmonary embolisms in 2010. “During the last 10 months of surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, I have survived and endured in part because I have immersed my hands and virtually, my being into clay. I live for the moment and cherish each day. This new lease on life is reflected in my work and throughout this show.” The public is invited to view the work of Susan Ellzey between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

STRAIGHT TALK: POLITICS
Oversight: An often neglected component to smart government Lessons from the past prove to be valuable today By Mayor Billy Keyserling
Some might wonder why they hear on the street or read in the news that Beaufort City Council discussed a particular issue and did not take action. It is a fair question for which there is a good answer: Oversight. A Learning Experience in the Nation’s Capitol During my 16-year career in Washington, D.C., one of my most interesting assignments was serving as a Research Associate for the Commission on the Operation of the US Senate, (aka The Culver Commission.) Our assignment was to recommend how the Senate could work more efficiently. This was the mid-1970’s when there were no personal computers; we used photocopiers later replaced by fax machines. There were no cell phones or the many other communications tools we take for granted today. While most of my associates explored communications, scheduling, Senate organization and relationships between Senators’ offices and the Congressional Budget Office, the Library of Congress, the General Accounting Office and the Office of the Sergeant at Arms which coordinated services to Senators and their offices, my assignment was to explore and recommend how Senators could more effectively oversee the Executive Branch of Government. Were Senators too busy making new laws and not spending enough time looking at the impact of laws they passed? How did the Senate and Administration share large bodies of information? I interviewed Senate Committee Staff and representatives from President Ford’s Office of Management and Budget. Because money drives government programs, I used, as an example, the newly created budget process. Among my findings was that data collected by OMB was in one format while data collected by the Congressional Budget Office for the Senate was in a different format. Accordingly, budget oversight was an extraordinarily bulky and inefficient process and the Budget Committee’s assignment was nearly impossible because the respective branches of the government spoke different languages. Accordingly, I recommended, among other things, that Senate and White House computers shift to compatible formats to enhance communication and appropriate measures required for effective oversight. Back to Beaufort. When the Chamber of Commerce and Visitors and Convention Bureau (VCB) parted ways and the VCB requested they, instead of the chamber, be named the Designated Marketing
the island news | july 21-28, 2011 | www.yourislandnews.com
Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling can also be reached by email at billyk@islc.net.
Organization (DMO) which receives tourism marketing dollars from the state that are directed by the city, city council did not immediately transfer the authority. Using the oversight tool, last week we began to explore whether tourism dollars have created the desired impact. For the first time in my memory, the chamber and VCB provided hard data as to how they invest public dollars and they will soon be asked to present a budget for next year along with criteria by which they will measure success. Before we assign the VCB as the Designated Marketing Organization, we will talk with the County Council, which also funds tourism marketing. Should we be working together with the County Council since, between us, the DMO receives around $500,000? It is my hope that once we have put our heads and dollars together to prevent duplication and enhance transparency, if it is necessary, the city in concert with the county will decide how to proceed. Will we designate the VCB as the DMO? Will we first explore other models for investing tourism marketing dollars? Will we create a joint oversight committee to ensure taxpayer dollars create the maximum impact? County Councilman Paul Sommerville and I have been discussing such a collaborative approach. Once the County Council’s Finance Committee hears the VCB report, as we did last week, we are likely to have a better sense of the path forward which we will then recommend to our respective councils. In the meantime, I want to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors and Convention Bureau for a very substantive presentation which opened the window to City Council understanding what has been done in the past and a sense of what we might look for in the future. Oversight Responsible for Changes Over the past two and half years, the City Council has employed a new level of oversight that I believe accounts for our better understand how each of the city’s department works and to then work with department heads to determine some new ways that helped us not only survive but beat the national budget crisis. Today, we produce a higher level of services for considerably less money because we
understand and use the ever important tool of oversight. Some Other Examples of How Oversight Works City Council continually challenges our staff to look for better ways to manage services. Several months ago, during the drawn out discussion about short term rentals, staff learned that while the city rarely gets complaints about the condition of short term rentals, they frequently hear from tenants that landlords do not take care of long term (more than 30 days) properties. Staff explored means for ensuring rental houses (about 47% of the residential properties in the city) are maintained and safe. One suggestion was annual inspections of every rental property in the city. After discussing the matter, council decided it was overkill and the idea was put to sleep — at least for the time being. As another example, an item on our agenda at the Tuesday, July 19, Work Session is a discussion about whether or not the Historic District Review Board and the Design Review Board should be merged into one body. While I personally do not see this happening, this is a good question that, like many others, should be explored regardless of the conclusion. And that is what we will do. Appropriate Questions during the Oversight Process Is the intent of the law or ordinance being accomplished? Could departments and/or specific programs be managed more effectively or efficiently? Is the law or ordinance relevant today when it may have been in years past? Is it time to reinvent a certain approach to a challenge when the situation has changed? What might be better ways to accomplish the intended result? Oversight in State Government Using an example from my experience in state government, if the SC General Assembly were to oversee what I call special interest tax exemption “spending” (almost half of the state budget) they might determine that while some special exemptions did what they were supposed to at the time, they are no longer necessary and are “costing” state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars that might otherwise be put to better use or permit across the board tax cuts to the citizens. See for Yourself So before becoming alarmed that the city is making big changes when you see our agenda or read the headlines, wait and see. More importantly come to our work sessions and join in the conversation. Work sessions take place on the second, third and fourth Tuesdays at 5 p.m. in the conference room on the first floor of city hall.

save the date The next charrette in the Civic Master Plan will combine both Sector 2 & 3 and will encompass the area of the City from City Hall south along Ribaut Road to Port Royal. The next charrette will be held from Tuesday, September 27, until Tuesday, October 4. Carteret Street Crosswalks: Making downtown Beaufort a better and safer place for people to walk took a positive step forward this week with installation of improved crosswalks at the key intersection of Carteret Street and Port Republic Street downtown. The crossing is used daily by hundreds of people moving between shops and restaurants, and also is a primary crossing for residents of The Point neighborhood as they head to jobs, to shops and restaurants, and to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.

Other news from the Office of Civic Investment The Sector One Design Charrette presentation was held on Monday, March 28, at City Hall Council Chambers. Twenty-five team members worked from March 22-28 to compile a series of designs for the area of the city east of Ribaut Road, including Whitehall Plantation. The completion of the charrette marks only the first half of the design phase for this sector. One of the first deliverables of the Sector One Charrette is the Redevelopment Commission Project Book. In support of this mission, the Office of Civic Investment has prepared a Projects Book detailing the list of initiatives documented in the Civic Master Plan for The City of Beaufort: Sector One. The Projects Book serves as the “implementation” document of the Civic Master Plan and is to be used by the Redevelopment Commission to prioritize projects and coordinate efforts across the public and private sectors.

news briefS Beaufort County 2012 budget posted online
Beaufort County’s Fiscal Year 2012 budget, which took effect July 1, has been posted at the Finance Department page at the county website, www.bcgov.net. Citizens can view the document by selecting the option for “Departments” on the home page, then “Administration,” and “Finance.” The 2012 budget includes a trim $96.3M which reflects a 7.6% percent reduction from last year’s original budget. It does not include a county real property tax increase. County Council Chairman Weston Newton said the council is unwavering in its commitment to avoid spending increases. “In these difficult economic times it would be a bad decision to expect people to pay more for services. We are continually reviewing all other options for keeping operational costs down.”

“Water Festival is a good way to meet with friends and experience the Beaufort area at its finest. I wanted to be a Pirette because I thought it was a good way to meet new people in Beaufort and be a part of Water Festival.”

56th annual water festival
No one will notice the Koozie still stuck to your derriere I celebrated through opening ceremony. I surrendered to the call of Saturday Sandbar. Sunday fun-day morphed with stealth speed into Motown Monday and somehow I am staring at the inevitable end to the first week of Water Festival. Sunscreen was no match for salt water, so my fair, freckled face resembles something in the crawfish family. The conventional wisdom of hydration was misused horrendously as cocktail hour extended beyond reasonable measure. All in all, I see it as a successful venture as I managed to survive with all limbs intact, all friends in tow, and all photos erased as to avoid any morbidly painful Facebook follies.
Cherimie Crane is a local Realtor and bride-to-be.
To my fellow unfortunate souls who must maintain gainful employment during this magical time, I salute you. It is quite acceptable to wear your sunglasses throughout the day, do so with dignity. Reach for your Goody’s powder and Gatorade with conviction. With the right accessories, no one will notice the Koozie still stuck to your derriere. If you
find yourself unable to remove those miraculously strong armbands given to us all at the gates, wave them with pride. To those Water Fest warriors who find themselves apologizing for questionable quotations, candid commentary, or the ever-dreaded wardrobe malfunction: do so with sincerity and speed. Possibly the gods of indulgence will shine down and surround you with like-minded, similarly shamed cohorts. Otherwise, reach for the phone and commence the eating of crow. There is no substitution for the old faithful of penance: blame it on Water Festival, blame it on alcohol, or blame it on your best friend. All three will be by your side for the second week.

We are steam rolling into week two and the grand finale of fun. Push forward my friends. Our gym memberships and bouts of starvation paid off, as we held our breath only in photos. The hundreds of dollars spent to drive a short distance to anchor in a suntan-oiled, boiled peanut-filled, fried chicken-covered oasis of enjoyment pales in comparison to the therapy it will take to fully recover from this coming weekend. Make it count. Embrace the last days of our beloved festival, for you shall have an entire year to curse its very existence, build back your self-respect, burn off those calories of carelessness, and prepare to do it all over again!

Other boat traffic may take the western corridor except during the air show period. This requirement is for your safety.

Grandma and the purple Barney We have photographed many, many subjects in our portrait studio over the years: families, babies, pets, couples, high school seniors, etc., etc. I would have to say the hardest of them all is a 2 year old. A 2 year old is experiencing a sense of independence. They are the king or queen of their domain. And their favorite word is “NO.” We advise parents to NEVER ask a yes or no question to a 2 year old. “Do you want to get your picture taken?” “NO!” Well, there you go, asked and answered. Now it’s a war. Instead, just assume it is going to happen without asking permission from a 2 year old. He or she is not the boss of you. In order to get a wonderful portrait of

a 2 year old, or anyone for that matter, you have to build a relationship. You can’t just throw a kid in a chair and say smile and expect an award-winning portrait. Most kids don’t like strange places, nor do they like strange men. We like to take a few moments to warm up a child. My husband, the photographer, will attempt to start a conversation with the little
one, or play a silly game like peek-aboo. Moms can help by encouraging this interaction. Don’t answer the questions for your child. Play along with the game to show it’s OK. The goal is to keep moving along toward getting the child in front of the camera in a good mood. Do all your hair combing and face cleaning before the photographer is ready to snap the first shot. There is nothing worse than getting the child all relaxed and responding and smiling, then having mom jump in and tighten a bow so hard it makes the kid cry. Wait, there is something worse.

offer the child before the photographer is ready for it. One memorable session had a beautiful little girl all dressed in white, in a lovely all white set, just about ready to get the best expression in the world. Grandma sees a purple Barney stuffed animal on a shelf, grabs it and hands it to the child and says, “Emma, do you want a picture with Barney?” Well of course she does! But purple does not exactly fit into a white on white set. Now if the photographer takes it away, he is the bad man. No smiles for him. In fact, let’s cry now. Thanks Grandma! Ah, a day in the life of a professional photographer... P.S. We really do love Grandmas.

STROLLER STRIDES OPENS IN BEAUFORT
Lady’s Island Country Club, the place to be on Thursdays
Stroller Strides, the nation’s largest fitness program for new moms, has arrived in Beaufort. “Stroller Strides is a great way to get back in shape, as well as stay in shape,” said Aaron Schranz, owner of Stroller Strides of Beaufort. “We present a fun opportunity for the moms of the Beaufort community to turn their strollers into a workout.” Stroller Strides of Beaufort is celebrating its grand opening on Wednesday, July 27, at 9:30 a.m. at Pigeon Point Park. Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their babies. It includes power walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Taught by nationally certified instructors, it’s a great workout for any level of exerciser. In 60 minutes, you will get a total body workout improving your cardiovascular endurance, your strength and your flexibility. The classes are equally beneficial for babies as instructors will weave songs through the workout and incorporate activities to make it fun. In addition to the classes, Stroller Strides offers playgroups and mom’s night out, giving women an opportunity to socialize and further relationships. To celebrate their arrival in Beaufort, Stroller Strides is offering a free sport bottle to the first 20 moms at the grand opening. Following the FREE 60 minute workout, there will be a playgroup, refreshments, and lots of raffle prizes. Those who join Stroller Strides of Beaufort on the 27th will be a part of the Founding Mothers Club. According to Schranz, Stroller Strides allows women to exercise in a social atmosphere and children can benefit from watching their moms participate. For details, contact Aaron Schranz at aaronschranz@strollerstrides.net.

Lady’s Island Country Club is working hard to muscle back into the fine dining scene on Thursday nights. But that’s just the beginning. Chef Will McLenagan wants to take over the dinner world on Lady’s Island. “We’re starting with Thursday night dinners, and we’ll go from there,” McLenagan said. “We now offer a menu that rivals anything downtown, but for a better price. Plus, we’re right in the neighborhood.” The club is open to the public for golf seven days a week; lunch and happy hour Tuesday through Saturday; dinner is served each Thursday. McLenagan isn’t starting small. His Thursday dinner menu spans three pages, with a soup of the day, an array of salads, appetizers far beyond 14

typical and a slate of fresh, creative entrees. “Lady’s Island Country Club used to be THE place in the 1970s,” the chef said. “Other places opened and the food, and hours grew a little inconsistent over the years. We’re changing all that.” And McLenagan doesn’t back down from a challenge. Building restaurants is his specialty. He did the same for the Henry Clay Inn in Virginia before arriving in South Carolina. “This isn’t going to be typical meat and potatoes country club fare,” McLenagan said. “We’re talking seared yellow fin tuna, calamari with a lemon aioli sauce and homemade desserts. I only use fresh ingredients. This isn’t open-a-can, ‘golf course’ food.” The improvements don’t stop there.

Restaurant manager Lori Westerfield is expanding the wine list and service, which will be fast and efficient. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to attract people to our Thursday night dinners,” Westerfield said. “Once they try us one time, they’ll be back. The food, service and location can’t be beat. People won’t be disappointed.” As Chef Will says, “With me, food quality comes before business. The food is everything. The rest comes from that.” To entice more members, the menu lists both a member and non-member price for entrees. Both social and full memberships are available. Thursday nights aren’t going to be the same on Lady’s Island. Dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. Don’t be late.

Community joins to improve stadium Fifty-six years ago, a group of community leaders in Beaufort created the wonderful tradition of The Beaufort County Water Festival which we all have been enjoying this past week. One of the best aspects of this Low Country town is the tradition of gathering together for various festivals and events. One long-standing community tradition is gathering on Friday nights in the fall to cheer on our Beaufort High School Eagle football team, and with the amazing seasons the track and soccer teams have had in recent years, gathering at the stadium in the spring has become a tradition as well. Several community members gathered recently with one goal in mind: to improve the conditions at Eagle Field to make it a more inviting place for the community to gather and watch its talented student-athletes excel. So far the group has accomplished the painting of the press box, landscaping, new spectator lighting, a picnic area from where to view the games, and tree-pruning. This was made possible through the efforts of many local businesses. Other plans are in the works such a Hall of Fame park and continued landscaping. However, the group needs community support. There will be a fundraiser Thursday, July 28th at Port Royal Pasta Company (formerly Mario’s on Ribaut Road next to Hardees) at 5:30 p.m. Please contact Scott or Lyn Dennis at 522-1644 for a reservation.

Committee announces fundraising campaign for the USS Olympia The South Carolina Olympia Committee (SCOC) announces a grassroots fundraising campaign to raise money to bring the USS Olympia, one of the nation’s great historic naval treasures from the Spanish American War, to Parris Island. Otherwise, Dewey’s flagship could be sunk off the New Jersey shore as part of a fishing reef. The committee plans to provide a permanent home for the Olympia at the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot at the historic dry-dock. “Bringing the Olympia to Beaufort protects her place in history and this grand lady will be shared with generations to come,” said Pete Richards of the SCOC, Inc. The “Reach Out to America Campaign” gives veterans, active military personnel, students,
educators and citizens across the country an opportunity to play a role and have a stake in saving this national treasure. “A donation of only $10 from a great many Americans will have a real impact in saving the Olympia,” said retired Col. Jim Bradin, Vice President of the SCOC, Inc. Parris Island, then called U.S. Naval Station Port Royal, played a major role in the Spanish American War. It had the largest dry-dock south of Norfolk, Va., and during this period 22 naval ships visited. The USS Maine provisioned there before sailing for Havana, and the start of the Spanish American War. “This is an enormous project,” noted Richards, “It will take a national effort to bring her home.”

generous donation helps the y go green Summer is inevitably the busiest time for the Wardle Family YMCA. More than 250 children swarm the Y each morning in hopes of making lasting friendships and memories at summer camp. Monday, July 11, marked the first day of “Camp Growing Green” and 17 Y campers embarked on a journey to beautify the Y. Thanks to a generous donation from Sun City Hilton Head Association & Pulte Group, the kids were fully equipped to do just that. Sun City Hilton Head Association & Pulte Group donated five-piece garden tool bags to each camper and counselor. The multi-pocketed tote includes a hand shovel and rake, gardening gloves and even a book with useful gardening tips. Many thanks are extended from the YMCA staff and campers to Sun City Hilton Head Association & Pulte Group. Without community support the YMCA could not exist and the garden kits put a genuine smile on every camper’s face.

Local teen named Dancer of the Year At the age of nine, a little boy from Ridgeland, named Gunner Sandifer, and his mother walked into Beaufort Academy of Dance looking for dance lessons. They drove every week, two to three times a week . Gunner started with jazz, tap and ballet. Director Aleisia Ashlaw noticed that his passion and love for dance grew over the years. “He lives and breathes dance,” Ashlaw said. “He is talented and loves to perform and choreograph” Now, at the age of 18, he has been named Senior Male Dancer of the Year by the Tremaine Dance Conventions and Competitions President, Joe Tremaine. Dancers from all over the country qualify at regional competitions and come together for one week in July in Orlando, Fla., for the National Dance Competition. During this week, dancers audition for scholarships and the title of Dancer of the Year. Dancers go through a
rigorous audition in ballet and jazz. After several cuts, finalists are announced and given a red ribbon. This ribbon is a symbol to young dancers that they have almost made it to the top. For teachers, it is a symbol of hard work and pride.
For the staff at Tremaine Dance, it is a reminder that the staff needs to watch your every move, every step, your behavior in and out of class. It is a test to see how well you work with others and whether or not you will be an excellent representative

to their company. The finalists then have an interview with the entire Tremaine staff. They also learn a dance in one hour and perform it at the Annual Gala Banquet where Carrie Ann Inaba, a judge from “Dancing with the Stars,” Chita Rivera, and the talented actress/ dancer Ann Margaret were honored for their dedication to the dance industry. Sandifer will be traveling, training and performing with the Tremaine Staff this year. He will be headed to Houston in October and Atlanta in November. He will also be traveling to Orlando, Fla., Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles and Boston. Anyone wishing to donate to this talented young man, please make checks payable to: Beaufort Academy of Dance, 14 Savannah Hwy Unit 8, Beaufort, SC 29906. Please write Gunner in the memo line.

Crazy for blue crabs
By Jack Sparacino
If I may start with a mouthful, “Callinectes sapidus” is the wonderful Latin term for our local blue crabs. It translates as savory beautiful swimmer. In fact, if you want to seem downright scholarly in your knowledge of the life and times of the Atlantic blue crab, you may want to read “Beautiful Swimmers: Watermen, Crabs and the Chesapeake Bay” by William W. Warner. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction in 1977, it’s that good. Blue crabs deserve to win prizes too. They’re that good. And plentiful. And fun to catch, not to mention amazingly aggressive little creatures. Plus, best of all, they are absolutely delicious. We can take these in order. 1. Plentiful. I pulled up 20 yesterday morning. They love our local saltwater creeks and rivers and thrive in the marsh. You can spot them clinging to pilings or crab walking (this comes naturally) in the shallows. Or swimming close to the surface and, by the way, they’re pretty fast. Almost any style trap, single or multi-level, is effective in catching them, and almost any type of bait (protein based is best) will work. Fish heads, chicken necks or backs, spoiled meat-- you name it, blue crabs will go for it. You can also go low tech and just tie a chicken neck to a string and keep a small net handy. They are the ultimate

Delicious crabs
omnivore, COMPLETELY unfinky, as they also eat aquatic plants. Just be sure to check DNR rules regarding minimum size requirements, number of traps you can work, etc. 2. Aggressive. These are pretty pugnacious little critters. It’s like they all grew up during the Depression on the wrong side of the tracks, got beat up on the playground, and are itching for a fight with an opponent of any size. Or, think of the movie tough guy roles played by James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson. Plan to handle your crabs with long handled tongs, because they can give you a painful nip with their claws if given half a chance. A friend of ours, Laura, still bears a small scar on her pinky from when a large male crab got hold of her and wouldn’t let go. (She got even that afternoon as we shared a wonderful batch of fresh crab
Crabs are great eating almost any way you “fix” them. And since they’re not broken to begin with, it’s hard to go wrong! We love crab salad, cocktail crab claws and crab cakes best. Here’s a super crab cake recipe from our kitchen: • 2 cups of carefully picked crab including claw meat • 1 beaten egg • 1 tbs Old Bay spice • 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce • 1 tbs dry or Dijon mustard • 1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs • 1/4 cup of good mayonaise • 3-5 shakes of hot sauce • 1/2 cup of minced onion, celery and red pepper Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, then form into firm patties. Adjust crumbs and/ or mayo to achieve desired texture-- not too loose. Fry in hot canola or vegetable oil, a few minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
cakes.) And be ESPECIALLY careful with stone crabs if they are part of your catch, as they can take off a finger if mishandled.

Fly fishing guides hear all the time that we have the best job ever, and we do, but not necessarily for the reasons that most people think. It isn’t because we get to fish all the time — we don’t. Guides are there to help others find fish. It isn’t because we get to hang out on a boat all day, as “hanging out” would imply that we step on and step off, and that what goes on before, during, and after a trip isn’t work — it is. It isn’t always that we get to be in the outdoors, because being outdoors poling a flats boat a few hundred yards up a flat in July can make one dream of air conditioning and a cool drink in hand. I have such a wonderful job because every day there is the possibility that the folks in my boat could have Captain Tuck an incredible Scott is the head first-time fishing guide experience. It at Bay Street could be the Outfitters, 815 Bay St. first tailing r e d f i s h someone has ever cast to or their first big push from a cobia as it swims just below the surface. The most experienced angler could catch a redfish that breaks his record by a few inches or a father could watch his son put a fly in front of his first saltwater fish and after catching it the two of them have a story and a sport to share for life. I have been fortunate enough to watch some amazing ‘firsts’. At this point, for me, there is one first that stands out above all others. A few years back, I arrived at Grays Hill boat landing to pick up a gentleman and his 12-year-old daughter who was wearing a cap that read “Fishing Girl.” The first place we fished, we saw dolphin for her first time at the expense of a school of redfish getting beat up right next to the boat. At the next flat, we poled about 100 yards and saw a school of fifty reds coming toward the boat. As I spun the boat, I said to him “put one out and cut that school off when you can.” His second back-cast embedded a fly in my right cheek; it wasn’t barb deep, so I quickly pulled it out and told him, “get it out there.” He was far too concerned about my cheek and would not cast again. As I pleaded with him to cast, his daughter quietly stood up, grabbed a spinning rod with a gold spoon on it and made a 50-foot cast right in front of the lead pushes. Her father and I stopped talking and just watched. I didn’t give any instruction because I was honestly speechless, plus she looked like she knew what she was doing. She closed the bail, reeled two revolutions and BAM she hooked into her first saltwater fish and the largest fish of her life, a 29” redfish. Funny, we forgot all about the blood on my cheek! As always, the opportunity awaits all of us for a “first” time experience on the water.

Attend free LoCo Motion information seminar By Marie McAden
To help participants gear up for the big three-day, 30-mile LoCo Motion walking and running event this fall in the Lowcountry, health and fitness experts from Beaufort Memorial Hospital and Palmetto Running Company are presenting a clinic on hydration, nutrition and footwear. The free one-hour prep session will be offered at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 28 at the Keyserling Cancer Center and again at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18 at Palmetto Running Company in Bluffton. “Ten miles is a long haul,” said Roxanne Davis-Cote, clinical nutrition manager for Beaufort Memorial’s Hospital, and one of the presenters at the clinic. “It’s important to go into this event well-nourished.” Clinic attendees will have a chance to taste a variety of performance energy products, including Clif Shot Bloks and Gels and Gu. Davis-Cote also will discuss what walkers and runners
should be eating the week leading up to the event. Tim Waz, owner of Palmetto Running Company, will address footwear issues and advise participants on how to properly hydrate during the race. Typically, runners should drink four to eight ounces of water per mile. “If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated,” he said.

A spotlight on fabulous local restaurants; entertaining musings from the Happy Winos
The Lunch Bunch gets delivery through Cabbie Cuisine By Pamela Brownstein As the rain poured last Thursday afternoon, The Island News staff was cozy inside our little office downtown. We were also content stuffing our faces with a smorgasbord of fried foods and finger foods from Carolina Wings. The best part was we all stayed dry and no one had to leave because we wisely chose to have our food brought to us through Cabbie Cuisine. Owner Cadell Crawford and her mobile waiters are fast and friendly and deliver to all of Beaufort, including Lady’s Island and military areas, seven days a week. Ordering online is so easy to use: Go to www. cabbiecuisine.com and click on the restaurant you desire to view the menu. Once you know what you want, type in your zip code, choose what time you want your food delivered, then you are ready to order. To satisfy the appetites of our hungry group — five adults and four kids — we ordered a ton of food from Carolina Wings. Cadell braved the storm and served us plates of fried shrimp, fried oysters, a small rack of ribs, boneless wings, medium chicken wings, mini cheeseburgers and the sampler platter, which includes a hefty portion of

fried mushrooms, chicken tenders, cheese sticks and fried zucchini on a bed of Carolina Wings’ special chips. There was something for everyone. Our strategy was simple: divide and conquer. We put all the food on one table so everyone could make their own plates, or walk around and sample and graze. Elizabeth fancied the boneless wings, while Kim really liked the fried oysters. I thought the mini cheeseburgers were great, and our new sales woman Nancy Gregory was a fan of the fried zucchini. Some of the other restaurants offered by Cabbie Cuisine are Upper Crust Pizza, Maryland Fried Chicken, Shoofly Kitchen, Fryed Green Tomatoes, Sandbar & Grill, Big Joe’s Bar-B-Que, Mizu Hibachi Japanese Fusion and more. If your Internet is down or you’re not computer savvy, you can call 843-473-4499 to place your order. This awesome delivery service will get meals from great local restaurants to your home or office hot and fresh — even if it’s raining. It’s reliable and convenient, especially with a large group of people. Don’t forget to tip as you would in a restaurant!

Bin there, drank that By Terry Sweeney
Have my recycling bins become buckets of shame? The other morning I was stunned by the sound of a tremendous crash outside my door. Since I live on a busy corner, I immediately imagined that four cars had collided at the intersection — all of their windshields shattering simultaneously. Like the rest of my neighbors, I threw open my door, ready to perhaps save some poor soul. But instead of twisted steel and broken glass, to my shock and dismay, I beheld my very own blue recycling bin suspended upside down over a city recycling truck with a huge mountain of my empty broken wine bottles beneath it! Accusing eyes darted quickly in my direction. I smiled sheepishly and quickly made up a not very convincing “That damn Water Festival ... Yankee out-of-towners dropping’ their empties in your recycling bin!!! How rude!!” “Yeah, right” their eyes said back to me as unconvinced doors slammed and windows shut. Damn these under-three-dollars-abottle “value wines!” They’ve got me drinking wine like it’s water! No, I take that back, I’m drinking wine instead of water (it’s cheaper!). Soon I’ll be
Damn those under-three-dollars-abottle value wines! They’ve got me drinking wine like it’s water. brushing my teeth with it, washing the Terry car with it — and the Sweeney dog! (I’ll bet that’ll put an end to her trying to jump outta the sink!) A month ago when this happened, I didn’t have the Water Festival to even try to pin it on. My big, strapping, macho garbage lady, who I bet wrestles alligators on her day off, had to ask a passing man to grab the other end of my jam-packed bin to help her lift it onto her truck. I don’t think she’s ever in her life asked a man for anything, not even Santa. Desperate measures are called for. I started coming up with alternate plans to mask my out-of-control value wine usage. What if I put my garbage in my recycling bins and all my empty wine bottles in my giant blue garbage can? Maybe I could also pack the wine bottles with white Styrofoam peanuts, so they could cascade out elegantly and quietly into the back of the sanitation truck. I could pretend they were part of an artsy

Manual vs. Electric Toothbrush
In a makeup mirror, have you ever retracted your cheek with your toothbrush and checked out the necks of your back molars for plaque after you’ve brushed?? Many patients tell us how well they brush and floss but the results just don’t show that. The proof is in the pudding. Our favorite line is “there is no action you can make with your wrists that’s going to be better than the mechanical action of an electric toothbrush. Also the timer on the brush is of great importance. One minute for the uppers, one minute for lowers twice a day. The best brush? $25.00 Oral B Braun. All else are bells and whistles.
display for the Beaufort Tricentennial, you know, perhaps “Celebrating 300 years of Binge Drinking in Beaufort?” Nah, the Tricentennial Commission would never go for it, no matter how historically accurate it was. Back to the drawing board. I decide that a deliciously diabolical plan might be to drive my recycling bins to someone else’s house, then once empty, pick them up the next day. But whose house? Who did I know who was on vacation? Or better yet, off at rehab? As I drove past a local church that strictly forbids the drinking of alcoholic beverages, I was sorely tempted to place my bin curbside. But no ... I couldn’t pin this guilt-laden mound of grape juice bottles on innocent people. Or could I? No!! Wait a minute. Is that an empty house I spy with a “For Rent” sign in front of it? I screech to a halt. Lugging my clanky bin out of my car with all my might, then lowering it to the ground, I am forced to chase a runaway bottle as it rolls down
the street. I grab it and read the label — “Oh, Tisdale Chardonnay! I remember you ... Three bottles for $10 at Bi-Lo! Buy six and get 10% off which makes one bottle free!” You’re one of the darn reasons I got into this mess!! Moving right along, I quickly do the old “baby in the hospital” switcheroo and load their innocent empty blue bin into my car. I drive off chuckling to myself while looking back in the rear view mirror at their now booze-stuffed bin: “Wow, what a bunch of drunks live in this neighborhood! If I were you, I’d lower the rent!” Once home, I place a lone, empty plastic Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice bottle in my humble and virtuous booze-free bin and place it prominently next to the curb — four days ahead of time. ‘This is the real me, people!’ But how long can it last? Did I just hear that Publix has a liter and a half of Foxhorn Chardonnay on sale for $6.47? Oh well … I tried, Lord! Looks like the best place for my bin is gonna be in the back of my car for now. Wait a minute, I think I remember seeing a “House for Sale” sign go up on Old Point and the owners drive off in a U-Haul. Hmmm….
ignore generic financial advice (except this article) It is dangerous to mix investing with entertainment. The classic example is thinking that a TV or radio personality can provide general financial information and you act on it without first taking the time to figure out if it applies to your particular situation. The financial press, personal finance bloggers and best-selling authors are all sources of information. But don’t confuse information with the real work of figuring out how it applies to your very unique situation. As good as many of them are at providing a filter for information, and even providing general rules of thumb, you are the only one who can figure out how it applies to your life. The reason is simple: planning for your financial future is personal. It has to be. A good plan will be unique to your situation, and what is right for your situation may be a disaster for your neighbor. So read as much as you want, but then make sure you spend the time to figure out how it applies to you before you make important decisions about your life savings. That is where we can help. Let’s meet so you can get a second opinion.

pets
Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol, or find a furry friend to adopt
Friends don’t let friends have litters Part Three: Common sense Last year, more than 12 million dogs were killed in animal facilities in the United States, and this figure does not include the many pets who were thrown out of cars, left by the side of the road, or dropped in woods and fields. Yet we continue to sidestep common sense and perpetuate their destruction. Which of these myths do you still believe? My dog will become fat and lazy if neutered. Common sense: Fat animals are fat because they are overfed and under exercised. Did your brother-in-law become fat and lazy because he had a vasectomy? Or did he get that way because has cheese fries with every meal and he hasn’t been off the couch since the Clinton administration? My dog won’t be a good watchdog if I neuter him. Common sense: If he was a good watchdog before the surgery, he will be a good watchdog after the surgery. He will be losing his gonads, not part of his brain. My dog will feel liked she’s missed something if she doesn’t have a litter. Common sense: As much as we might think of our dogs as peers, they are still animals. Dogs mate simply as a physiological response. There’s no dating involved, no wine and soft music, no Facebook flirting. There’s absolutely no thought involved, whatsoever. Consequently, there is no pining after lost love and missed opportunity. Dogs are just not wired that way. Having a litter is a physiological result of mating. A dog that snacks in the cat box just does not have the psychological intricacies to feel parentally unfulfilled. Preventing dogs from having litters is unnatural. Common sense: Humans
BowWOW!
Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends
BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.
We domesticated dogs 15,000 years ago and, in doing so, created the problem. Now it’s our responsibility to solve it. first interfered with nature by domesticating dogs and then by breeding them to suit their purposes. The original canid, essentially the wolf, is a far cry from current dogs bred to herd, sport and lay around the house in hair bows and sweaters. We domesticated dogs 15,000 years ago and in doing so, created the problem. Now, it’s our responsibility to solve it. Note: it’s unnatural to be killing thousands of unwanted dogs in shelters every year. We don’t need to neuter males, because they aren’t the ones having the litters. Common sense: This is the most prevalent myth yet is the most ridiculous. Immaculate conception doesn’t explain canine pregnancies. It takes two to tango. I want my children to see the miracle of birth. Common sense: Frequently animals go off by themselves to give birth, usually in the middle of the night. Google up a YouTube of the miracle of birth and then teach your children about humaneness and kindness to all living creatures by educating them about the importance of spaying and neutering. I can find “good” homes for all the puppies my female gives birth to. Common sense: Finding
truly good, lasting homes for puppies is very difficult. Many pets are taken to the pound or otherwise discarded once they start to grow bigger, take more time, make messes, or chew up something valuable. And, who is to ensure that your pet’s offspring won’t mature, breed, and contribute to the existing problem? There is no way you can guarantee these animals will be spayed or neutered. For every animal you bring into the world, at least one at the pound will be killed. Do yourself a favor and avoid the agonizing job of trying to find homes for your pet’s litter. If you know your friends can provide good homes, send them to the pound. There are many animals waiting there. And their time is running out. The operation costs too much money. Common sense: You’re right. In this community, it costs way too much. If you shop around, you’ll find the one affordable vet in town who provides exceptional care and gets the job done for an extremely reasonable fee. Also, contact SNAC (Spay/ Neuter Alliance and Clinic) in Ridgeland. Good people doing a good job for a good purpose. They have a long waiting list so make an appointment before you get the new puppy.
