Golf Course Reopens In Pleasant Point Plantation. During 2005, the Country Club of Beaufort, which was located in the Pleasant Point community, ceased operations. Over the next few years, the golf course properties deteriorated to the point of being an eyesore. During late 2009, the clubhouse and golf course properties were acquired by the Pleasant Point Property Owners’ Association. In early 2012, the golf course was leased to a group of local investors who formed TGC (The Golf Course) a management company. Following a year of redevelopment, TGC at Pleasant Point reopened the 6,602 yard, 18 hole course for public play. We have learned that TGC offers both unlimited golfing plans for the die-hard golfer and special loyalty programs for all golfers. Visit www.tgcppp.com for course information.

We extend our compliments to Pleasant Point and TGC for a job well done.

news briefS Body of third missing swimmer found

The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office has confirmed that a body found washed ashore on Hunting Island on July 17 is that of the third swimmer who disappeared Sunday, July 14.

Seventeen-year-old Mikee Phomma of Philadelphia, PA was located at noon today. A beachgoer discovered Phomma’s remains about a mile and a half from the Fripp Island inlet, approximately three and a half miles from where he initially disappeared. Phomma had been swimming with his uncle, 38-yearold Tiem Mok, and cousin, 16-yearold Nathan Mok when the three were overcome by strong currents off the shores of Hunting Island.

Nathan Mok’s body was the first to be found, less than two hours after he was last seen on Sunday. His father, Tiem Mok was found at 10 a.m. the following morning.

The victims were last seen in distress in the water at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. A 14-year-old female family member had been swimming with the victims when they began to struggle against the water’s currents. She attempted to pull them to safety, however, was unable to hold onto them. She made her way to shore where another family member called 911 for help.

All three victims were part of a larger

Premium, unleaded and pregnancy

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

As thin as the fading line may be between self-restraint and self-discipline, there is still a line. Discipline is one of my oldest and dearest friends, always arriving in times of doubtful disdain making difficult decisions less of an evil acquaintance. Discipline, although not my most gregarious of friends, rarely steers me astray.

Leaving me often with moments of frustration, it protects me from days, months, even years of regret.

Self-discipline keeps me on track faithfully to whatever endeavor I presently pursue whether or not I am particularly excited about the task at hand. We all have that faithful friend that is quick to correct and slow to move.

Self-restraint is as familiar to me as the geographical features of Jupiter. It requires a quickness of tact that eludes me at will. In my finest moments, I still fail to summon restraint in even the simplest of situations. In my case, restraint-requiring moments seem mainly to nestle comfortably in the realm of spoken and written communication. Maybe it is genetics. Possibly it is my fiery disposition or blame could fall gently on regional heritage. Regardless of origin, self-restraint is absent among my personal traits.

My most recent of restraint-less encounters was at a gas station. Not my normal social scene, however,

vehicles require fuel and gas stations are an obvious solution. Enthralled with the mundane task of lifting the nozzle, my intense focus was interrupted by a gentleman wishing to discuss my now obvious physical state of pregnancy. Hearing the voice of my Mother reminding me Cherimie to be kind and mannerly, I refrained Crane Weatherford from allowing my freely flowing hormones to run amuck. Instead I put on my best “I am listening but I refuse to look interested” face and smiled politely at his comments.

This was a massive strategic fail as it did nothing to deter the awkward conversation.

Realizing both my tank and my patience had reached capacity, I tried earnestly to discontinue the conversation. I smiled politely (thanks Mom) at the advice on diet, nodded intently at the lengthy commentary about harrowing accounts of delivery and even agreed that maybe I shouldn’t be pumping my own gas as at that very moment — I could not agree more.

Shortly thereafter my lack of self-restraint reared its ugly head yet again. Not only was this gentleman making me oddly uncomfortable but he was also interrupting

Taking a baby break

By Pamela Brownstein

After nine long months, the time has finally come for me to succumb to my condition and take off on maternity leave.

Unlike my first pregnancy, I feel like this one has taken its toll. With the first one, I relished comments such as, “You look great, you’re glowing!” This time, one look into my tired eyes often prompts a patronizing, “How are you feeling?” But what they really mean to say is, “Whoa, you look rough!”

It’s for this reason, and many others — including awful acid reflux and extreme exhaustion — that I am glad the end is in sight.

During my time off, I’m looking forward to kicking back and reading books on the beach, sipping cocktails by the pool, spending quality alone time .... um, oops, I’m sorry, that was me talking from Fantasyland.

Instead, I’ll be making last minute

improvements to my house, and trying to pretend that I don’t notice how everything needs to be cleaned but realizing I’m too tired to do anything about it. I’ll also be spending a week on “vacation” with my in-laws.

On or around August 7, we’ll be welcoming a new baby girl into the world. Then the rest of the month we’ll be adjusting to the needs of a newborn, as well as taking care of an increasingly willful toddler. Throw in several weeks of my own visiting relatives, and I anticipate a very busy, and possibly even stressful, time off.

But as I find myself immersed in Babyland, there is still so much happening in the community, including the start of fall sports, and of course, to the excitement of every student, the start of the school year. I hope our readers continue to send their photos and stories to theislandnews@gmail. com; I’ll see you in September.

whatever extremely important commercial the gas station was blasting out of the new and obviously expensive communicative pump. Everyone has their limit.

Self-discipline keeps me from running every time I am cornered with the onslaught of new mom advice, reminds me that most diatribes of diapering techniques come from a very sincere place, and at times keeps me from eating the entire box of cupcakes; however, my dear friend discipline runs right out of jurisdiction when it comes to awkward stranger-related discussions.

In my humble, yet emphatic, opinion, discussions of breast feeding require a certain familiarity or professional resume, not the commonality of unleaded versus premium. Certainly this inquisition had the best of intent and it could be that somewhere along his path he found this to be a welcomed discussion.

For fear that my sweet daughter may somehow find her way through Google in the years to come, I refrain from sharing my complete dialogue. It is likely she will share her mother’s deficiency of self-restraint in the speech department, but should she be blessed with her father’s tact, I will spare her the details. Some things just aren’t meant to be discussed near diesel, y’all, especially not with a pregnant woman with a fiery disposition.

letter to the editor Victims of Crime Act funding runs out for SC

Last week, the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) was notified through a letter from Ed Harmon, Assistant Director, Justice Program Administrator of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, that even though the current VOCA grant cycle ends in two weeks, the United States Department of Justice which administers the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Fund, has not yet allowed any state to apply for continued funding.

VOCA funds are awarded to programs like the Open Arms Group Home to fund critical services to SC’s vulnerable children and adults who have been victims of violence. These funds are financed by fines and penalties paid by convicted federal offenders, not from tax dollars.

“It is a shame when politics impacts services to vulnerable children that

CAPA and other nonprofits serve,“ stated Susan Cato, CAPA executive director, who further stated that she encourages citizens of South Carolina to contact Sen. Lindsey Graham’s office at 202-224-5972 and Sen. Tim Scott’s office at 202-224-6121. Also, call Gov. Haley at 803-734-2100 and Rep. Mark Sanford at 202-225-3176.

Tonight, in Beaufort County, there are 10 children living in CAPA’s group home that are victims of violent crimes. They have nowhere else to go. As a provider of critical housing to children of SC, we need to know: • Why are the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) formula grants to states, especially SC, being held up in Washington?

• When can we expect the US Dept. of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs allow SC to apply for VOCA funds?

• Will the VOCA awards be retroactive to allow programs, like ours, to be able to provide victim services without interruption?

The view of life in hover mode

By Martha O’Regan

Do you ever have days when you laugh out loud at how obvious your life’s journey reveals itself? You know, those moments when we’re able to draw on a lesson learned or some tool acquired in a past experience, that when complete, gives us a level of satisfaction that we are right where we are supposed to be.

Some of my favorite moments in the work I do are when I encourage a practice member to go into “hover” mode and look down on their life as though it were a maze. By hovering over that maze, they can see with great clarity why certain doors had to close, while some had to open, wrong turns had to be made, while some right ones just fell before them, and even why sometimes they got stuck in a roundabout that took great guidance to get out of. They can see the folks who showed up right on schedule to teach them something then drifted into a distant memory or the ones that showed up seemingly out of nowhere yet have remained in their hearts and lives forever.

In these moments of great clarity, it’s fun to watch those lights that have been dimly lit for years, begin flickering and glowing with a new awareness of their purpose here on earth; that there is truly a Divine plan unfolding that they were asleep to only a moment ago. These are the moments when we remember that ‘everything in life happens for us, not to

us and that every experience is part of our growth and evolution. They are the “aha’s” that awaken us and re-ignite our spark for living.

Just as in a maze, we all come in and we all go out. It is the in between where we truly live, zigging and zagging, bumping into walls, heading down the wrong road, or even going back to where we started.

Our individual mazes of life differ not only in the specific circumstances but also in how long it takes us to learn the nuances of navigating those so-called wrong turns, road blocks and squeezy spots to wake up to our power, no longer driven by fear or guilt due to long held beliefs of unworthiness or shame. Our maze will show the moment we wake up to that power, the place where the chaos and confusion turns into a steady course forward with more gentle turns and calmer paths.

Few awaken early in life, forced to draw upon their inner strength and courage to get through a difficult life experience

becoming the person who knows early on what they want, following their passions to create a life that supports their unfolding with grace and ease.

The majority find their core later in life through pain, illness or loss, often during a time when life seemed to be moving along smoothly despite an underlying restlessness or dissatisfaction in a job or relationship. Suddenly, they are bushwhacked into an illness or divorce and forced to dig within to find their voice or courage to move forward. They wake up with a knowingness that there is more to life and begin searching, growing and trusting in their part of the Divine plan.

Finally, there are those who wake up in the last few days or hours of their life often wishing they had done things differently. Yet, even though the last moments may be filled with many shouldas, couldas, and wouldas, looking back in hover mode allows the ability to see the good and to find gratitude even amongst any regret, lighting the path for a smoother exit out of the maze.

So, what do you see when you hover from above? Are you on your steady course yet or are you still at the roundabout? Either way, relish in the chaos and confusion for as long as is necessary, learning the lessons and honing the skills until you find that confident satisfaction that you are right where you are supposed to be.

Live Well ... Have Fun!

Reclined cobblers pose Supta Baddha Konasana

By Elizabeth Vanderpool Photo by Mark Vanderpool Supta Baddha Konasana is known as a “restorative pose.” In yoga, these poses are known to soothe the nervous system. Reclined Cobblers pose also stretches the inner thigh muscles and releases the low back and hips. It is often used in yoga practices to neutralize the back after backbends and inversions.

To take Supta Baddha Konasana, lie on your back and bring the soles of your feet together. Drop your knees open at your sides. Your feet should be (AfeetPG rated, tame, and story) about two from your groin.

Tuck yourboring tailbone, love slightly, and allow your spine to lengthen, taking some of the arch out of your low back. Bring your shoulder blades onto your back and allow your arms to fall open at yours sides with your palms facing up. Close your eyes and release any tension in your belly, shoulders and neck. Take 10 to 20 deep breaths.

To bring more ease to this pose, place a block or a blanket underneath your knees or thighs.

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are a great way to have fun and enjoy the outdoors. But it’s important to remember they are not toys and operating one requires proper instruction and preparation.

Whether you’re doing daily chores around the farm or weekend trail rides, make sure you take the proper steps to help keep you and your family safe when using an ATV. Before You Head Out • Take a safety training course.

ATVs can travel at more than 60 miles per hour and tip over very easily.

Knowing how to stay safe while riding one is essential. Typical course topics include starting and stopping, quick turns, hill riding, emergency stopping and swerving, riding over obstacles, protective gear, local regulations, places to ride, and environmental concerns. The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute® offers safety training courses around the country.

• Wear protective gear. A helmet, boots, goggles, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket will help protect against cuts and other injuries.

• Don’t carry passengers. Most ATVs are designed for one person at a time. Carrying a passenger can make them very difficult to control and be very dangerous.

• Maintain proper maintenance. A pre-ride checklist can help make sure your ATV is functioning properly and safe to drive. The fuel and oil, tires, brakes, steering, chain, radiator, and battery are a few things you’ll want to consider checking.

• Check your insurance. Make sure it is up-to-date. Contact your local State Farm agent if you need information about insuring your ATV. On the Trail • Carry a communication device.

A cell phone or walkie-talkie is good to have along in the event of an emergency, especially if riding alone.

• Ride at proper speed. ATVs can be unstable and difficult to maneuver when driven too fast for conditions.

To avoid flipping, maintain proper speed for the terrain, especially on

uneven ground. Also be cautious when approaching hills, turns, and obstacles.

• No tricks or stunts. They might look fun and easy on TV, but they are extremely dangerous and best left to the experts. Most injuries occur when ATVs are operated improperly.

• Avoid drugs and alcohol. They can greatly impair judgment and reaction time and may lead to serious accident or injury.

• Drive in appropriate settings.

ATVs are not designed to be driven on paved roads. Doing so can be dangerous and is where many fatalities occur. Stay off-road and operate only on safe terrain.

Children and ATVs Never let children drive adult ATVs. Children under 16 are twice as likely to be injured riding adult ATVs than those who operate youth ATVs. If you allow your child to ride an ATV, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s minimum age recommendation warning label.

• Determine your child’s readiness.

Operating an ATV requires the rider to recognize and react to all sorts of potential hazards. Factors to consider include the physical, social, emotional, and motor development of your child, as well as the ability to make sound decisions. The ATV Safety Institute has a safety booklet that includes a readiness checklist to help you make an informed decision about your child’s readiness.

• Closely monitor. Children on ATVs should be supervised at all times to make sure they are operating them safely. If not, you may want to reconsider their ability and judgment to safely operate an ATV. • Educate yourself and your child.

Make sure you both have proper training on how to safely operate an ATV. An ATV injury prevention checklist can help you get started.

No matter what your age, riding level, or years of experience operating an ATV, it is always smart to be prepared and remember basic safety rules. There’s no reason why off-roading can’t be an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Hargray introduces Heroes at Hargray

Living well is the Pointe

Focus on employment opportunities for transitioning military veterans

Hargray recently announced a new employment program designed to assist military veterans with their transition into the civilian workforce following the end of their military service. The program, called Heroes at Hargray, provides transitioning military personnel with hands-on vocational training through paid internships of up to one year.

“We are very excited to offer a program focused on creating job opportunities for military veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Michael Gottdenker, Hargray’s Chairman & CEO. “Our hope is that this will be one of many such programs introduced throughout our region.”

Heroes at Hargray officially launched on July 8th, when four interns began working in Hargray’s Installation & Repair group. These interns will take part in a comprehensive training program where they will learn to install, troubleshoot and repair equipment on each of Hargray’s platforms.

“The goal of the program is to provide an experience that positions these individuals to gain full-time employment, whether at Hargray or another employer,” said Chris McCorkendale, Hargray’s Vice President of Operations and Engineering and himself a retired Army officer. “I know firsthand that it can be difficult to transition from military to civilian life, and am thrilled to be a part of a program that can ease that transition for fellow military service people.”

Hargray plans to expand the program with additional interns and other departments in the future.

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

The Jeweler’s Bench

husband-wife team operates custom jewelry store

By Carson Moore At The Jeweler’s Bench on Carteret Street, the word “yes” is the most popular accessory. No matter what piece a customer is looking for, David and Gwen Kinard are determined to make it happen for them.

A native of Fairfax, S.C., David, who is called Pat, attended the Art Institute, studying advertising and design, and graduated second in his class. Although he worked in political and collegiate advertising after college, Kinard felt that he wasn’t following the path he was meant to.

“I was out jogging one day, and talking to God, and I thought, ‘Hey, one day, I’d like a dog, and a house, and a wife, and a car, and I just need a career to get me there, something well-thought out and unique.’” Luckily, fortune smiled on Kinard.

Kinard’s father met a man who was liquidating a jewelry store in Hampton, called Kaiser’s Gifts. “He told me about it, and I just thought, ‘That’s it,’ ” said Kinard, “I bought the store from him about a week before Christmas in 1980.”

From there, Kinard’s business grew.

At first, Kinard sold pre-designed jewelry, and had his repairs outsourced to other companies that would do them within a few weeks and send them back.

However, Kinard and his wife found the wait to be an inexpensive and time-

David Kinard specializes in in-house repairs at The Jeweler’s Bench in Beaufort.

consuming ordeal.

“One of my suppliers sold the tools for repairs, and offered a class on it in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I decided that I could do it,” said Kinard.

Driving 24 hours each way, Kinard enrolled in a weeklong class, which taught him the skills to set stones, and resize rings. A few weeks later, the tools they had ordered to start their own repair business arrived, and the Kinards began doing their own inhouse repairs.

“Experience is the best teacher,” Kinard says, “You do it once, and if you see that it needs work, you go back, sit back down, and fix it, the way you would if you were setting a ring for your mom.”

It’s this customer-oriented outlook that sets the Jeweler’s Bench apart from

their competitors, in Pat Kinard’s eyes.

“There are people that care, and people that don’t care. Some people have skill, and care, and some have skills and don’t care. You want to be the person that everyone knows has skills and cares about their work.”

The Kinard’s level of care has prompted them to completely reconsider their store’s business model. The Jeweler’s Bench, which at one time had 10 showcases of pre-designed jewelry, now features only one showcase and an ‘open-air’ jewelry workshop, where they repair and design pieces for their clients.

“When we had the 10 big showcases, people would come in saying, ‘I want a ruby ring,’ ” said Pat, “We’d have 24 ruby rings, and they wouldn’t see one they liked. They’d say, ‘I like that stone, but in this metal, with these diamonds around it,’ and I’d say, ‘Hey, I can do that.’ ” Pat’s can-do attitude prompted the Kinards to dive into the world of customjewelry making. Using a program called Counter Sketch Studio, the Kinards can not only help a customer design the piece of jewelry they have envisioned, but also let the customers themselves design the jewelry over the counter.

“It’s like an ice cream store,” explains Pat, “When I was young, we had three flavors of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Then Baskin Robbins

came along, with 32 flavors, and that was mind-boggling. But now, Cold Stone Creamery can mix any ice cream flavors you want, and add in nuts and gummy bears, and serve it to you in a cone, cup, or whatever you want. We like to believe we’re like Cold Stone.”

Aside from the ability to help a customer create the jewelry of their dreams, The Jeweler’s Bench also boasts another unique element: Mrs. Gwen Kinard is two-thirds of the way through completing her gemology certification.

“Each gem is it’s own course,” she said, “We just finished a diamond grading lab last year, and we’re getting ready to start the lab on colored stones as well.”

Less than 5 percent of jewelers in the United States have finished their entire gemology certification, which puts Gwen Kinard in a very exclusive category.

The artistic design and craftsmanship that the Kinards pour into their business is evident in every aspect of their work. While they primarily work with jewelry, they admit that people bring them objects of all types to be repaired, and they do their best to please their customers.

“We like to think that we answer the phone, and the first word out of our mouths will be yes,” said Pat Kinard, “Anything you need, as far as jewelry goes, we think we can do.”

Educators selected to fill key staff positions The Beaufort County Board of Education approved the selections of veteran educators to fill key staff positions, and a veteran law enforcement officer was selected to direct safety and security at district schools.

Alice Walton, who has served as the district’s director for certified staff and teacher quality for the past seven years, will take over as its new Chief Administrative and Human Resources Officer. Walton has already been serving in the position in place of Jackie Rosswurm, who served as acting superintendent during the recent search for a new district leader. Rosswurm retired last month.

Walton has worked in Beaufort County schools since 1991 as a middle school teacher, team leader, gifted and talented coordinator and district-level supervisor of teacher evaluation. As a teacher, she worked at Hilton Head Island and H.E. McCracken middle schools.

Bonnie Almond will focus on middle and high schools in her new role as the district’s Director of Secondary Academic Intervention. Almond is a 36year veteran who has served in North Carolina schools as a teacher, assistant principal, elementary school

principal and high school principal. In Beaufort County, she will focus on improving achievement in grades 6-12.

Mark Chauhan will become the district’s new Director of Network Operations-Technology, responsible for monitoring and supporting computer and communications systems. Chauhan, a systems support specialist for the school district for the past four years, had previously worked in private-sector technology-related jobs.

The district also announced that two additional positions had been filled. David Grissom, a 25-year law enforcement veteran who currently commands the investigations division of the Hobart Police Department in Hobart, Ind., was named as the school district’s new Protective Services Officer. In his new role, Grissom will supervise safety and security at the district’s schools.

Alvilda Graham will become an assistant principal at Hilton Head Island Middle School. Graham has 13 years of experience as a classroom teacher and administrator in Florence, S.C., and Durham, N.C.

some of the school district assistant principal changes • Yolanda Goethe: Math coach at Beaufort Middle will become an assistant principal at St. Helena Elementary.

• Matt Hall: Principal intern at Whale Branch Middle will become an assistant principal at St. Helena Elementary.

• Freddie Lawton: Assistant principal at St. Helena Elementary will become an assistant principal at Whale Branch Middle.

Expos aimed at helping families prepare for new school year The Beaufort County School District is teaming up with Hargray and other corporate sponsors to hold a pair of “Backto-School Expos” designed to give students and their families a day of fun, food, door prizes and valuable information about the upcoming school year.

The annual expos are scheduled at Hilton Head Island High School on July 27 and Beaufort High School on August 10. Both events will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and free transportation will be provided from several centralized locations.

“These events are terrific ways for families to get ready for school because there’s a lot of practical and helpful information to share,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “It’s

also gratifying to see how much assistance we get from business partners, civic groups and faith-based groups.”

Students and their families are encouraged to attend the events, which will feature: • Forums for teens that focus on this year’s GradNation 2020 theme, “The Tassel is Worth the Hassle.”

• Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities.

• Door prizes that will include bicycles, theme baskets and an iPad donated by Hargray.

• Free school supplies for students, courtesy of Walgreen’s and the district’s “Pack the Bus” campaign.

• Free health screenings for adults and children will be provided by Hilton Head Hospital and Coastal Carolina Hospital on July 27, and on August 10 by BeaufortJasper- Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, South Carolina Primary Health Care Association and the Henry Schein’s Healthy Lifestyles, Healthy Communities.

• Ronald McDonald Mobile Care will provide information on dental hygiene.

• Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Healthlink mobile unit will provide screenings and health information.

In addition, there will be special sessions designed to energize and inspire students and families as they begin the new school year. These sessions will be conducted

by Leading to Change, a Charlotte professional development and training company with corporate clients across the Southeast.

For families needing transportation to the August 10 expo at Beaufort High School, school buses will make pick-ups at St. Helena Elementary School (8:30), Lady’s Island Middle School (8:45 a.m.). A separate bus will make pick-ups at Whale Branch Middle School (8:15 a.m.), Robert Smalls Middle School (8:30 a.m.) and Beaufort Elementary School (8:45 a.m.).

For additional information on the two expos, contact Lakinsha Petty (3225451) at the Beaufort County School District.

Coosa Elementary School tries a new approach Originally published in the Lady’s Island Business Professional Association’s newsletter for July 2013 Each public school on Lady’s Island offers something special in its approach to educating its students.

Lady’s Island Elementary School offers an art infused curriculum. Lady’s Island Middle School offers a curriculum with emphasis on science, technology, energy, arts and math. Beaufort High School offers a freshman academy plus small schools in arts, international studies, communications and technology and the health profession. Coosa Elementary School has a well established reputation for excellence in education and as a result has been either at or over its student capacity almost from the first day its doors were opened in 1998. This past school year Coosa added a unique aspect to its curriculum — leadership.

With the financial support of a Department of Defense grant Coosa Elementary School (40% of the school’s students have an active duty military parent) is completing their first full year of implementing a threeyear school wide leadership program

called The Leader in Me. The program is based on the late Dr. Stephen Covey’s book “ The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and designed to “equip the student with the selfconfidence and skills needed to thrive in the 21st century economy.”

The first elementary school to attempt integrating the principles espoused

by Dr. Covey was the charter school A. B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh, N.C., in 1999. The school had been advised to either improve or face being closed. As part of its efforts to improve, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” was incorporated into the school as a part of its curriculum. As a result of this innovative approach to early education, in 2006 the school was selected as the top magnet school in the nation. From this experience came The Leader in Me process. It is based on the concept of teaching children, starting at kindergarten, good habits of leadership to include learning accountability, treating others with respect, solving

problems creatively, listening to others and the benefits of team work. Coosa Elementary is the first school in Beaufort County to implement the program, the 12th school in South Carolina and one of approximately 1,100 schools internationally.

In an effort to demonstrate the results of the program, the Coosa Elementary School recently hosted a group of community representatives as part of a “Leadership Day”. The students conducted every portion of the two hour program, with the exception of a question and answer period handled by the principal and teachers. The confidence and general conduct of the children was impressive in every respect.

The following basic themes are promoted throughout every aspect of the school year: • Be proactive (You are in charge) • Begin with the end in mind (Have a plan) • Put first things first (Work first then play)

• Think win/win (Strive for mutually beneficial solutions in your relationships) • Seek first to understand then to be understood (Listen before you talk) • Synergize (Working together as a team is better) • Sharpen the saw (Take care of your body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep).

Based on the results of this first year, The Leader in Me program would appear to have the potential to impact, in a very positive way, the long-term conduct of children, teachers and parents. The teachers like it, the parents like it and the children are learning the traits necessary for success in the world in which they will live. Steps are being taken to reinforce the program in the middle and high school.

The use of this program in our school systems to better prepare our youth for the challenges they will face in life could be a real “game changer” and deserves the support of the community.

the indie film corner: ‘starbuck’

The movie “Starbuck” will be presented at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, July 29 at 7 p.m. The film is written and directed by Ken Scott, co-written by Martin Petit and produced by André Rouleau.

At 42, David lives the life of an irresponsible adolescent. He coasts through life with minimal effort and maintains a complicated relationship with Valerie, a young policewoman. Just as she tells him she’s pregnant, David’s past resurfaces. Twenty years earlier, he began providing sperm to a fertility clinic in exchange for money. He discovers he’s the father of 533 children, 142 of whom have filed a class action lawsuit to determine the identity of their biological father, known only by the pseudonym Starbucs. A runaway box office success in Canada, “Starbuck” premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. The English language remake rights for this all-too-human comedy were sold to Dreamworks.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance.

Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

A preview of Verdi’s classic opera ‘La Traviata’

By Alan Schuster

Not only is “La Traviata” considered the perfect romantic melodrama, it also was unique to early audiences in that it was the first serious opera ever written for contemporary times. In later years, Puccini adopted this “verismo” (realism) style to his three greatest works, “Butterfly,” “Tosca” and “Boheme.”

When Verdi’s classic reached London in the 1850s, its huge success was such that “The London Times” wrote: “Once more frantic crowds struggled in the lobbies of the theatre; once more dresses were torn and hats crushed; once more a mania possessed the public.” For Wednesday’s HD performance, casual attire is recommended.

ACT I: A home in Paris. Violetta, a courtesan, is entertaining guests, among them an admirer named Alfredo Germont. Although she is very ill, Violetta insists upon leading a hectic social life. During a dance, she is seized by a coughing fit and has to withdraw.

Alfredo joins her and professes his love. Violetta gently discourages his affection, but gives him a camellia flower, telling him to return when it has faded. Alone, Violetta wonders if Alfredo is her true love, but then shrugs off such sentiment, resigning herself to the hollow pleasures of life as her only option.

Highlights: Prelude: Two themes are revealed in this beautiful adagio movement. Alfredo sings “Libiamo...”

(Drink ... and be filled with love’s delight). This is a rare moment of gaiety at the party. Alfredo makes a lively toast to life and love, and Violetta responds in kind.

Violetta: “Ah, fors’ e lui” (Was this the man...), beginning a coloratura marvel as she engages in three distinctive emotional expressions; contemplating the mystery of love; the fear of deceiving herself; and finally a burst of high-flying agility, “Sempre libera” (Ever free...) as she confirms her life of carefree pleasure. It’s a beautifully challenging set-piece.

ACT II: Scene 1: A country home near Paris. Violetta and Alfredo are now living together. When Alfredo learns

Soprano Natalie Dessay as Violetta, the “traviata.”

that Violetta has sold her possessions to pay their debts, he leaves for Paris to raise the necessary money. Violetta receives an unexpected call from his father, Giorgio Germont, who urges her to end the relationship, which threatens his family’s reputation. Violetta is heartbroken, but finally agrees. Germont withdraws to a garden, and Violetta writes a note to Alfredo. Returning from Paris, Alfredo appears, only to have her bid him farewell and then promptly rush away. When a servant gives him her note, Alfredo is devastated. Germont enters and tries to console him, but Alfredo thinks that Violetta has betrayed him,and he rushes off to Paris — again.

ACT II, Scene 2: The home of Violetta’s friend, Flora, in Paris. A party is in progress. Alfredo appears alone, and then Violetta enters escorted by Baron Douphol. The two men play cards and Alfredo wins. Violetta approaches Alfredo and begs him to avoid trouble. In response to his scorn, she falsely declares that she loves the Baron. Furious, Alfredo, in front of the guests, flings his winnings in her face. The Baron challenges him, and Germont enters in time to witness his son’s outburst and reproaches him.

Highlights: Alfredo: “De’miei bollenti spiriti” (My youthful passion), a graceful lyrical aria. Next, Germont and Violetta in maybe the finest baritone/soprano duet in all of opera. Germont: “Pura siccome un angelo” (A pure angelic daughter); then Violetta: “Ah! Dite alla giovine.”

(Tell your fair daughter…). First, he demands that she end her relationship with Alfredo; she responds that she

will do so. Magnificently moving.

ACT III: Violetta’s bedroom, a few months later. The doctor tells her maid, Annina, that her mistress is dying.

Violetta reads a letter from Alfredo’s father, telling her that his son now knows of her sacrifice and is returning to ask her forgiveness. As the lovers are reunited, Germont arrives to give his blessing. But it’s too late, and Violetta dies in Alfredo’s arms.

Highlights: The entire act! Beginning with the prelude, which is often considered Verdi’s best orchestral piece in his entire repertoire. Violetta: “Teneste la promessa” (You kept your promise...). She reads, not sings, Germont’s letter in an unusual example of theatrical sensitivity accompanied only by two violins. It’s a brief, yet extraordinary moment, leading directly to a nostalgic aria, “Addio del passato” (Farewell happy dreams). She recalls her happy times with Alfredo, then implores God to forgive the wanton desires of a “traviata” — a fallen woman.

Alfredo,Violetta: “Parigi,o cara…”(To Paris,dearest...).

Five minutes of a pure and gentle duet, expressing their mutual love. Violetta: “Ah! Gran Dio!”: Almost defying death, she finds strength in her final moments, urging Alfredo to find happiness with another woman, “Una pudica vergine...” (Some day a pure maiden...). Then, to the soft accompaniment of the orchestra’s love-theme, she cries “Oh gioia” and falls lifeless into Alfredo’s arms.

“In La Traviata, Verdi has lifted Alexandre Dumas’s play “La Dame aux Camelias” into the realm of art,” according to Marcel Proust.

The wonderful French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, having a confidently upper register, is perfectly cast as Violetta. She’s joined by tenor Matthew Polenzani (Alfredo) and baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky as the elder Germont.

All tickets are $15; no reserved seating. Box office opens at the USCB Center for the Arts at noon; curtain time 1 p.m. For more information, call 521-4145.

Why have a mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center?

A suspicious mammogram can make any woman anxious, but Jess Laboy was terrified. She ’d already endured the loss of two family members to breast cancer. Unnerved at the prospect of waiting days for ultrasound results, she chose Beaufort Memorial and got results the very same day. Jess was grateful for every second free of worrying and waiting, and for more time to celebrate with her family.

Same-day results available in both Beaufort and Bluffton.

To schedule your mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center, call (843) 522-5015.

St. Peter’s receives grant from Coastal Community Foundation

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

On Friday, June 28 the Coastal Community Foundation presented a $15,000 check to board members, clergy and staff of St. Peter’s Catholic School as part of a grant to fund the Learning Center of Beaufort County at the Lady’s Island school. St. Peter’s matched the grant and will implement the Learning Center under the umbrella of their established curriculum during the school day.

The Coastal Community Foundation’s ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life in Beaufort County by supporting the network of non-profits that serve our community.

Edna Crews, Regional Vice President of the Coastal Community Foundation, supports and encourages the collaboration of non-profits to seek grants.

“Our job is to facilitate relationships in order to evaluate and approve grants.

This collaboration between St. Peter’s Catholic School and The Learning Center of Beaufort County is a win-win.

Additionally, we have an obligation to continue to provide this fund for The Learning Center of Beaufort in perpetuity.

It will always be here,” explains Crews.

Joseph Benning, principal of the school,

22

is excited about the new endeavor.

“This opportunity will allow our students to receive help in the early grades, so that by the time they reach middle school, they will have improved their reading and math skills,” explains Benning.

Rob Wilson, board president, agrees.

“I echo the sentiments of Mr. Benning.

As a parent of four, I personally appreciate the opportunity,” says Wilson.

The Learning Center of Beaufort will offer students the chance to fully engage in a meaningful learning process, effectively utilize their distinctive learning styles and productively pursue ongoing academic achievement. And most importantly, The Learning Center will be available to every child in Beaufort County at a variety of locations.

All too often, children who possess an alternative to the verbal learning style get frustrated with mainstream teaching methods and abandon their will to learn.

Students become apathetic; but, it’s not their fault. They just learn differently than most. The misunderstanding begins when many people can’t figure out why an intelligent person can’t read at their expected level. The mistreating begins when students are simply encouraged to

the island news | july 25-31, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

“try harder.”

Malcolm Goodridge, founder and benefactor of The Learning Center of Beaufort County, understands this frustration. He is dyslexic. And he says his dyslexia is his greatest asset.

Goodridge remembers growing up and being called a “dummy” all the way through school. He took remedial reading classes to assist him, but they didn’t help much. He fought hard through school to overcome his learning disability, eventually going on to a distinguished career as a senior executive with American Express.

Now retired, he thanks his struggle with dyslexia for his continued ambition toward success.

“I think that if I was a normal kid, I wouldn’t have the drive for success that I have now. I was pushed down so far, I had to figure out a way to survive,” says Goodridge.

Heather Rembold, parent and former teacher, appreciates Goodridge’s outreach to the community and adds, “I’d like to personally thank Malcolm Goodridge.

This program will complement our small class sizes, so that teachers can concentrate on their lessons and students who need extra help will get the full attention they

deserve.”

Crews agrees, “When Malcolm (Goodridge) first approached the Coastal Community Foundation, he wanted to find a way to provide services to all children, regardless of where they lived in Beaufort County. His desire was to see kids get the assistance they deserve in order to have a full life like his.”

D.C. Gilley, Board Member of the Coastal Community Foundation agrees.

“It’s exciting to see this partnership become reality. This is a great day for Beaufort county children,” says Gilley.

Father Paul MacNeil adds, “The parish and the school rejoice on this day. Our students will continue to learn under the umbrella of Christian tradition as we expand our program.”

In addition to Malcolm Goodridge, the board of the Learning Center of Beaufort County consists of Charles Kresch, past President of the Beaufort County Board of Education and David House, Board member of Beaufort Memorial Hospital and AMIkids.

RED ROOSTER CAFE

By Pamela Brownstein

From pancakes to panini sandwiches to pear salads and perfect desserts, I’ve tried a lot of the food at Red Rooster Cafe and I’ve never been disappointed.

In fact, I always leave the charming little eatery feeling delightfully full.

This week at Lunch Bunch was no different. I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT made with honey cured bacon, crunchy fried green tomatoes, chopped crisp romaine lettuce, ranch sauce and smoked provolone on a toasted hoagie. This sandwich is absolutely incredible, the combination of crispy bacon and lettuce with savory ranch sauce is my favorite. Pair that with a mason jar of mixed berry lemonade, as well as a giant Clockwise from above: Fried Green Tomato BLT; the Gobbler; Pear Necessities salad; side of homemade curly chips (and more Curried Rooster Waldorf; chocolate Oreo truffles. ranch sauce!) and it makes for a great sandwich made with curried chicken homemade desserts that vary daily.

wine

Home is where the Stags Leap

By Celia Strong

This week, as always, there will be some wine repeats, but some new wines, too. We’re going to Napa Valley, California, a particularly special part of the valley for, what I think, a particularly nice wine.

Napa Valley is probably the best known of all the California AVAs. Within the main, large Napa Valley AVA, there are more than fifteen subregions, all AVAs as well, mostly well known and many homes to great wines.

And, further, great in most cases means pricey too. Wine production, commercial wine production to be precise, in Napa dates back to the nineteenth century.

But the production premium wines that we now know Napa for only started in the 1960’s. Compared to all the wines we drink from European countries, there’s not much history here. But, some of Napa’s brief history is interesting.

Quickly, the valley’s first commercial vineyard was established in 1858 by John Patchett. He sold a gallon of his wine for two dollars. Hmmm? The original “two buck?” Right after that, in 1861, Charles Krug established another commercial winery in St. Helena. We can still get wines from the Charles Krug Winery.

By the end of the nineteenth century, there were more than one hundred forty wineries in Napa County. Besides Charles Krug, there are several others still producing from these early days — Beaulieu, Beringer, Chateau Montelena, Far Niente, Mayacamus, Markham, and Schramsberg. Wine production in Napa, like most other sources in the United States, suffered setbacks in the late 19th century and early 20th — phylloxera outbreaks in the vineyards, Prohibition and the Great Depression. The really big comeback for Napa resulted from the win, at the 1976 Judgement of Paris Wine Tasting, by two Napa wines.

In 1938, Beaulieu hired André Tchelistcheff and he is credited with introducing modern winemaking into Napa. Aging wine in French oak barrels, cold fermentation, vineyard frost prevention and malo-lactic fermentation are all taken for granted now, but are less than 100 years old in Napa. On

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

Our Stag’s Leap wine this week is its Sauvignon Blanc. The Stag’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc has a Napa Valley appellation, which means at least seventyfive percent of the grapes come from the valley AVA. a secondary front, from the world of advertising and self-promotion, Beringer Vineyards, in 1939, invited Hollywood stars like Clark Gable, Charles Laughton and Carole Lombard to visit, taste their wines, buy a T-shirt, etc. “All roads lead to Beringer!” was their slogan. This is considered the beginning of wine-based tourism. ( Just kidding about the T-shirt, but you get the idea. I think the whole California wine industry could only exist in California, geography aside.)

Today, Napa Valley has more than 450 wineries. And more than 4 million people visit the valley every year. And movie stars? They still probably visit, and now they even own vineyards.

Back to the big Paris tasting in 1976 for one quick second. A Napa Valley Chardonnay and a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon both took prizes. The 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay was first in its category. (The movie “Bottle Shock” is a good version of this fun story.) And the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon was the winning red wine. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars makes our wine for this week.

In 1970, Warren Winiarski established his winery in the Stag’s Leap District of Napa. (Please, not even 10 years old

“You can bank from the comfort of your home.”

when its Cabernet won?) Winiarski bought 44 acres for less than $200,000 dollars in this district where stags were actually seen leaping on the hillsides. The land was planted with prune trees, cherry trees and walnut trees, but, after tasting wines from nearby land, Winiarski replanted his acreage with Cabernet and Merlot vines. He named it Stag’s Leap Vineyard and produced his first vintage in 1972. (Yes, that means his winning 1973 wine was only his second.) After the Paris win, accolades and money to expand both came to Winiarski. More land, more varieties, more everything. In 2007, a joint venture between Chateau Ste. Michelle in Washington state and Antinori Srl from Tuscany, Italy, bought Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. How much? $185 million dollars. That’ll buy a few T-shirts. A few movie stars too, if Winiarski wanted.

Our Stag’s Leap wine this week is its Sauvignon Blanc. The Stag’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc has a Napa Valley appellation, which means at least 75 percent of the grapes come from the valley AVA. California produces more Sauvignon Blanc wines than any other state. In some instances, Sauvignon Blanc wines have also been called “Fumé Blanc.” Robert Mondavi made the first Fumé Blanc wine in 1968. Also a Napa producer, Mondavi was offered some particularly good Sauvignon Blanc grapes that year. At the time,

California versions of this wine had a poor reputation because of their grassy flavors and aggressive aromas, especially cat pee. Yum! Mondavi decided to try and tame that aggressiveness by barrel aging the wine. He then released the wine but called it Fumé Blanc — a break from the variety name and a link to the French wine, Pouilly Fumé, that is also made from Sauvignon Blanc and often lightly oaked. Now, California producers can use either name for their Sauvignon Blanc wines, both oaked and unoaked.

The wines tend to fall into two styles — the New Zealand style with tropical fruit notes mixed with citrus or the Mondavi Fumé Blanc style with rounder, softer textures and melon notes. The style, either one, is partly where the grapes are grown in California and partly what the winemaker does with them.

The 2009 Stag’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc is almost bits of both these styles.

Almost, but closer to one than the other.

(You decide which.) It is a vibrant wine, with lots of lovely tropical notes in its aromas — orange blossoms, grapefruit, lychee nuts, peaches. The flavors become juicy in your mouth, fruit-forward, and have an overcoat of lively acidity.

Guava, honeyed tangerine, juicy pears, limes, a hint of minerality, citrus notes, sandalwood spice are some of the flavors. And wouldn’t a candle with all that be just perfect! This wine’s finish lingers in our mouth. Thank goodness — we can enjoy it a couple of minutes longer. I have to warn you, though, all these aromas and flavors and textures are not in the first sniff or first sip. You might get hints but it’s only as you work your way through several glasses, or the whole bottle, that it has a chance to open up and develop for you. More like a European wine? Probably. More fun and enjoyable? I think so. A good excuse to have another glass? Your choice.

When it’s paired with mild Thai dishes, medium spicy curries, pasta with shellfish and a white wine cream sauce, sea bass with chanterelles, and lots more food varieties, it becomes very easy to study this wine, too see all its nuances and layers and complexities. For $19.99.

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

Kids and Dogs: a Common Sense Approach

By Tracie Korol

Often when a family is considering adding a dog to the household I am asked, “What kind of dog is good with children?”. Unfortunately, no breed comes with a guarantee of kid safety. Often my response to that question is one of my own—“how are your kids around dogs?”

Skipping this important element could result in children getting bitten and dogs being blamed unjustly.

A dog’s temperament is inherited, then modified by events in his life and proper training. Certain breeds and certain bloodlines within breeds are friendlier, more tolerant and more adaptable to training because they were bred to be that way. A responsible breeder puts emphasis on developing good temperament. However, if you are looking at a mixed breed rescue dog you have no idea of his heritage or his dark history.

Granted, very few bites happen without provocation, but provocation may exist only in the dog’s mind. Dogs are not little people in hair suits. They don’t think the way humans do; most of their reactions are instinctive. A dog will react to a situation unless consistent training and socialization modify his instincts.

Here’s a common scenario: A young child sees a dog she’d like to pet. The dog may not want to be petted. Dogs instinctively set up an invisible “fight

When someone unwelcome enters a dog’s boundary, he has two choices—he can run away or he can defend himself.

His first reaction may be to simply walk away but he may also show displeasure by giving a warning, often a low growl. A growl is the dog’s way of saying “Back off!”

If the little girl continues her mission to love on the dog, intruding well into his safety zone and he has issued a warning with no response from the girl, the dog (in his mind) has no other recourse.

He bites. A child’s innocent action can be provocation to bite when seen from the dog’s perspective. Running, screaming, darting quickly can also trigger an instinctive predator-prey reaction in some dogs. They look sound and act like something to eat. Children who roughhouse and wrestle with dogs

unknowingly encourage them to use their teeth. Dogs equate this kind of activity with dog-on-dog play where using teeth is allowed. Startling a sleeping dog or petting him when he’s eating can also provoke a snap not unlike when you startle Uncle Ernie out of a nap and he reacts with an unprintable phrase.

What can be done to prevent an “unfortunate incident”?

First, it’s essential to understand that any dog will bite under the right circumstances. A dog is a dog and behavior can never be predicted with 100% accuracy no matter how friendly or reliable he is. Obedience training and socialization are absolute

musts for dogs that will share their lives with children.

Now, for the other side: just as children need to be taught how to be well behaved around other people, they also need instruction in how to be respectful and well behaved around animals.

They need to learn which games are appropriate, how to touch a dog properly, how to interpret a dog’s body language and when a dog is not to be disturbed.

I have frequently insinuated myself into situations in public when I see a squealing, running toddler bee-lining for an unknown dog, little (toothsome) fingers waving enticingly in the doggie’s face. If you understand how a dog thinks, that scenario could quite easily develop into a horrifying incident reported on the evening news.

In short, adult supervision is essential.

Small children should never be left alone with any dog, no matter how reliable he has been before. It’s up to adults to keep kids safe from dogs and to keep dogs safe from children. Kids and dogs are a wonderful American tradition but not one to be taken lightly.

Next week: specific kid behaviors that dogs may perceive as danger.

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.
