Lowcountry Summer a staple of annual Water Festival PHOTO & BRIEF BY BOB SOFALY

What does it take to feed Frogmore Stew to a couple thousand people and entertain them at the same time? The 63rd annual Beaufort Water Festival has it all figured out. The traditional Lowcountry Supper on Thursday evening at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, despite threatening skies and peals of thunder, rolled on like a welloiled machine. ”We cook up 1,300 pounds of local shrimp for starters,” volunteer cook Jason Dangerfield said prior the supper. The local delicacy had, for a long time, been prepared at various mess facilities at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, according to Dangerfield. “Then one year their cookers broke

down and we had just a couple of hours to get it done,” he said. “We set up cookers right at the entrance to the park and pulled it off. It worked out so well, we’ve done it that way every year since”. Dangerfield said the traditional supper also boasts 750 pounds of red or “new” potatoes, 400 gallons of cole slaw, 2,700 dinner rolls, 600 quarts of cocktail sauce, 5,000 ears of corn, and 60 watermelons. All washed down with sweet and unsweet tea or lemonade, of course. After everyone has had a chance to eat, the entertainment starts, usually a band or two followed by the much-anticipated performance of The Whistlers, a local whistling group made up of past Water Festival commodores.

Combine them with 1,300 pounds of shrimp and 1,200 pounds of smoked sausage and you have the beginning of what it takes to put together the annual Beaufort Water Festival Lowcountry Supper.

‘The Champion of Beaufort’

Friends and family remember former mayor Henry C. Chambers

Above from left: State Rep. Shanon Erickson (R-Beaufort) holds up the Palmetto flag that flew at half-mast over the state house in Columbia in honor of the late Henry C. Chambers. About 300 family members and friends gathered at the Waterfront Park named in Chambers’ honor for a brief memorial on Monday, July 23, which would have been his 90th birthday; City of Beaufort firefighters give a hand salute after presenting the colors to begin the memorial service for the late Henry C. Chambers on Monday at the Waterfront Park named in his honor. Chambers was called the “Champion of Beaufort” and was compared to David against Goliath in saving a dying little town; Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling recalls a sailing story involving himself and late mayor Henry C. Chambers in which Keyserling, much to the chagrin of Chambers, overturned the boat during a regatta. Keyserling said, “Henry didn’t like to lose so we were off to a pretty bad start.” Photos by Bob Sofaly.

COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

Lady’s Island man convicted of manslaughter in girlfriend’s shooting death A 45-year-old Lady’s Island man has been convicted of the 2016 shooting death of his girlfriend during a late-night argument inside his parked truck. A Beaufort County jury found Jamie Jermaine Robinson guilty of voluntary manslaughter last week in the death of Eulia Moon shortly after midnight on Oct. 29, 2016. The conviction followed three days of testimony from 14 prosecution witnesses. Robinson was also convicted of possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Robinson and Moon, 47, had been dating for about two years at the time of her death. Relatives of both characterized the relationship as tumultuous and sometimes violent. Robinson told Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office investigators he had been drinking at an acquaintance’s house much of the day of his girlfriend’s death and possibly had cocaine and marijuana in his system, as well. He said Moon tracked him down and was angry about the friends with whom he was associating. They argued in his Chevrolet Avalanche, which was parked in the driveway of a home on Little Capers Road owned by Robinson’s mother. The couple also lived there, in a garage converted into an apartment. Robinson’s mother told investigators she was awakened sometime after midnight by the Jamie Jermaine family’s barking dog. When she Robinson went to her front door to investigate the commotion, she saw her son, who was yelling and behaving erratically. He told her to call 911 because he had just shot Moon. His mother made the call, then tended to Moon. Meanwhile, Robinson fled on foot down a dirt road and then into the woods between Little Capers and Sams Point roads. Along the way, he shed his shirt and shoes and tossed the weapon used to shoot Moon – a .25-caliber handgun. Robinson ran to a cousin’s house nearby and called law enforcement and initially claimed a masked assailant robbed him and shot Moon. However, when Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office investigators told Robinson his story didn’t match crime-scene evidence, he eventually changed his story, claiming the gun discharged accidentally when Moon tried to wrest it from him as he held it to his own head. Moon was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital and later to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston before she died of a gunshot wound to her head. Robinson’s criminal record includes convictions for disorderly conduct, and felony and misdemeanor drug possession charges. Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. McCoy sentenced Robinson to 30 years for voluntary manslaughter – the maximum penalty for that offense – and five years for possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. The sentences are to be served concurrently. Smith is a member of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office Career Criminal Unit, which prosecutes the circuit’s most habitual and dangerous offenders. With Thursday’s conviction, the team has earned convictions against 309 of the 321 defendants it has prosecuted since its formation in 2008.

The City of Beaufort is working on plans to address flooding in the nine most-affected areas and estimates $15 million of work needs to be done across the city and in many locations that fall outside of the city’s regulatory jurisdiction. “City officials are committed to finding solutions and funding sources to provide relief to the impacted areas,” City Manager Bill Prokop said in a release. City personnel are active ensuring pipes, ditches, and drains are free of debris, the release said, and city personnel will work with the S.C. DOT will place traffic restrictions in flooded areas. The city strongly recommends that residents and visitors pay close attention to the weather reports and tidal data in order to avoid flash flooding and asks the public to assist in the following ways: 1. Remain situationally aware by paying close attention to the weather and tidal reports. If you are in a low-lying area, please take steps to protect yourself and your property. Be proactive.

2. Ensure drains, pipes, and ditches are free of debris in front of your home or business. If unable to clear debris, contact the City of Beaufort Public Works Department at 843-525-7054 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or 843524-2777 after hours or on weekends. City employees will

Community Foundation of the Lowcountry announces changes Changes are coming to the leadership of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, which announced last week that President and CEO Denise Spencer intends to retire at the end of this fiscal year in June 2019. The foundation also announced five new board members. Under Spencer’s leadership, the Community Foundation has more than doubled its combined assets to more than $72 million. The number of component funds served by the Community Foundation has grown to 350 and grants/scholarships made since 1994 now total $71 million. During Spencer’s 12-year tenure the Community Foundation’s impact in strengthening local nonprofits and communities has continued to grow. She was instrumental in developing the partnership to give all Hilton Head residents access to public sewer (Project SAFE initiative). Additionally, under her leadership, the Community Foundation has successfully navigated a biennial public art exhibition, responded to two hurricanes in two years with immediacy and efficiency, and leveraged collaborations to increase positive impact in the community. All of this has resulted in Community Foundation of the Lowcountry becoming an anchor institution in our region, serving hundreds of nonprofit organizations and donors. “Denise has always believed that ‘service is at the heart of a strong community’,” said John Weymouth, former board chair of the Community Foundation. “She seeks tirelessly to improve the lives of those less fortunate and has taken the Community Foundation to another level during her tenure.” To build upon the expertise and high service levels the Community Foundation al-

ready provides, a national search will be conducted for a new CEO. “Community Foundation of the Lowcountry will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2019,” said Denise Spencer current board chair Jim Allhusen. “We look forward to it also being a year in which we celebrate Denise’s many accomplishments and in which we welcome a new CEO who will build upon that success.” The Community Foundation announced the addition of five new members to its board of directors: Geoff Block, the Rev. Dr. Douglas Fletcher, Jeanette Taylor Jones, John Levy and Dr. Al Panu. Block has more than 20 years of public and private company investment experience. In 2013, Block and his wife, Kim, formed RLB Squared. Through this family entity and various other family holdings, Block oversees a portfolio of investments that include hedge funds, real estate, and operating businesses. Prior to that, Block had worked for Crown Advisors and was a founding member and co-portfolio manager of Crown Growth Partners, LP and Crown Growth Partners II. Block earned a Bachelor of Science degree in management from Tulane University. Rev. Fletcher serves as pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Hilton Head, where he’s been since 2008. Prior to that, he served as pastor of Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church in Austin, Tex. for 15 years. He has also served churches in Colorado Springs and Tulsa. Fletcher earned his undergraduate degree from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and his Master’s

and Ph.D. in Bible Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary. Jones relocated to the Lowcountry from Minnesota after a successful career in both law and healthcare administration. Most recently Jones served as Vice President of Professional & Support Services for Hennepin County Medical Center. Prior to that she was Assistant Commissioner for the State of Minnesota Department of Human Services, CEO of Minnesota Age and Opportunity and Director of Operations at United Healthcare Corporation, in addition to other positions she held in healthcare administration. Jones has a law degree and has been a trial attorney, a professional liability claims attorney and also completed an internship at the New York Supreme Court. In addition, Jones was an adjunct professor at William Mitchell College of Law in Saint Paul, Minn. and an instructor at Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. She earned an R.N. degree from Broome College in New York, a B.A. in business administration from Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, Minn., and a juris doctorate from Pace University School of Law in White Plains, NY. Levy is First Vice President-Investments at Wells Fargo Advisors in Hilton Head. He joined A.G. Edwards (a predecessor company of Wells Fargo Advisors) as a financial advisor in May 1996. He received a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University, followed by nine years at Dun and Bradstreet Inc. in Syracuse, NY. Dr. Panu is the chancellor of the University of South Carolina Beaufort, only the second chancellor since it achieved baccalaureate status in 2004. He has held that position since 2014. Panu earned a bache-

lor’s degree in chemistry at Tuskegee Institute, a master’s degree in chemistry from University of Alabama and a doctorate degree in chemistry from the University of Georgia. From 1978 to 2010 Dr. Panu held various university-level teaching positions, earning the Distinguished Teaching Award at Kennesaw State University College of Science and Mathematics in 1998. In 2010 he became Dean of the School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at Gainesville State College in Georgia (later to become part of University of North Georgia.) The following year he was named Vice President for Academic Affairs and professor of chemistry at Gainesville State College. In 2013 he was appointed Senior Vice President for University Affairs at the University of North Georgia. In addition to adding new board members, Community Foundation of the Lowcountry has named its board of director officers for its 2019 fiscal year: Jim Allhusen - Chair; Jeri Farren – First Vice Chair; Allen Ward – Second Vice Chair; David Wetmore - Treasurer; and Denise Spencer - President and Secretary (non-voting staff liaison). Since 1994, Community Foundation of the Lowcountry has been connecting people, resources and needs by helping build stronger communities and assisting donors in making a difference through charitable giving. With over 350 charitable funds, combined assets totaling $72 million and grantmaking and scholarships reaching $71 million, Community Foundation of the Lowcountry is the largest source of unrestricted philanthropic resources dedicated to Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.

Family escapes fire in ‘nick of time’ The Burton Fire District, Beaufort/Port Royal, and Parris Island Fire Departments responded to a July 18 house fire in which a family of five escaped in what fire officials described as “in the nick of time.” Just after 8 p.m., Burton and Beaufort/ Port Royal firefighters responded to a reported house fire on Baynard Road off of Savannah Highway. Fire crews arrived and reported gray smoke coming from all openings in the home. Firefighters extinguished the fire quickly and limited the fire damages, but the home suffered extensive smoke damage. A homeowner said she saw smoke coming from an air vent, evacuated her family, and called 911. Burton veteran firefighter Nick D’Angelo, who was first to arrive, said the smoke turned from gray to dark black in

seconds, which is a sign that firefighters use to determine when a small growing fire is becoming explosive. “I’ve never seen smoke turn so black so quickly,” D’Angelo said. Fire officials said the family’s escape and firefighters’ quick response was just in time to stop the black smoke, which firefighters describe as unburned/heated fuel, from completely erupting in flames and destroying the home. The Red Cross was notified to assist the family of three adults and two children. No injuries were reported. The Parris Island Fire Department was also requested to assist at the scene. The fire is believed to have been caused by a malfunctioning air handler. The Burton Fire District has responded to more than 30 building fires so far in 2018.

The Ins and Outs of Moving Insurance PROVIDED BY STATE FARM When preparing for a move, you might be hiring movers, packing, and transferring your homeowners or renters insurance to your new address. But what about getting moving insurance? Most people don't realize that homeowners or renters insurance might not cover loss or damage to your possessions while in transit. Since moving puts your belongings at risk for all kinds of unforeseeable mishaps, having insurance for moving can give you peace of mind should anything go awry. Here's what you need to know to make sure you're protected for your next move. Does my homeowners policy cover a move? Although it's not standard, some homeowners policies will cover your property during a move. Review your policy or talk with your agent to see if your property is insured while in transit or storage. Where do I get moving insurance? Moving companies offer various insurance options (www.protectyourmove. gov/consumer/awareness/valuation/valuation-insurance.htm), two of which are mandated by federal law. The types are: • Released value coverage (or basic carrier liability). As the most basic coverage required by federal law, this liability coverage is free and based on weight, paying up to 60 cents per pound for an item. But if your $500 one-pound tablet gets damaged during a move, well, it hardly comes close to paying the full replacement value. • Full value protection (or full replacement value protection). Also required by federal law, this coverage has to be purchased, but experts recommend it because it pays for either the current market replacement value of an item, replacement with a similar item, or the item's repair. If you opt for full value protection, make sure to get details of your moving company's specific plan to see how it determines replacement value, especially for items of extraordinary value, and to learn what actions might limit your mover's liability. • Separate liability insurance. Some movers might offer this optional insurance for purchase. Governed by state law, separate liability insurance pays for the insurance amount purchased minus the basic carrier liability amount that the mover pays (up to 60 cents per pound). If you go this route, make sure you get a copy of your policy and understand the amount of insurance you purchased and the cost for this coverage. What if I do the move myself? Most likely, your homeowners or auto in-

surance policy won't cover your possessions if you transport it in your personal vehicle or in a rental vehicle. If that's the case, then you assume the risk if you use your own vehicle for the move. Truck rental companies, on the other hand, offer insurance that not only protects the rental vehicle, but also the driver, passengers, and your cargo, depending on the type of coverage you choose. What do I need to file a claim? To file a claim of loss or damage, you may need to prove that the lost or damaged item was actually moved by the movers and not damaged beforehand. A comprehensive moving inventory list (www.statefarm. com/customer-care/moving-checklist)— which should include items of extraordinary value like jewelry, silverware, and digital devices—can help support your claim, so make sure it is complete before the movers transport your property. It's also wise to take before and after pictures and file your claim promptly to facilitate reimbursement. Any way you look at it, moving insurance can provide some protection and peace of mind during an extremely stressful time. To learn more about protecting your next move, visit the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's The Household Goods Program (www.protectyourmove.gov).

working on a part-time basis — you benefit by having a smoother transition from full-time employment to retirement, and your employer benefits by retaining the services of a talented employee. Some Arthur Levin phased retirement plans even allow you to access all or part of your pension benefit while you work part time. Of course, to the extent you are able to support yourself with a salary, the less you'll need to dip into your retirement savings. Another advantage of delaying full retirement is that you can continue to build tax-deferred funds in your IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan. Keep in mind, though, that you may be required to start taking minimum distributions from your qualified retirement plan or traditional IRA once you reach age 70½, if you want to avoid substantial penalties. If you do continue to work, make sure you understand the consequences. Some pension plans base your retirement benefit on your final average pay. If you work part-time, your pension benefit may be reduced because your pay has gone down. Remember, too, that income from a job may affect the amount of Social Security retirement benefit you receive if you are under normal retirement age. But once you reach normal retirement age, you can earn as much as you want without affecting your Social Security retirement benefit. Facing a shortfall What if you're nearing retirement and you determine that your retirement income may not be adequate to meet your retirement expenses? If retirement is just around the corner, you may need to drastically change your spending and saving habits. Saving even a little money can really add up if you do it consistently and earn a reasonable rate of return. And by making permanent changes to your spending habits, you'll find that your savings will last even longer. Start by preparing a budget to see where your money is going. Here are some suggested ways to stretch your retirement dollars: • Refinance your home mortgage if interest rates have dropped since you obtained your loan, or reduce your housing expenses by moving to a less expensive home or apartment. • Access the equity in your home. Use the proceeds from a second mortgage or home equity line of credit to pay off higher-interest-rate debts, or consider a reverse mortgage. • Sell one of your cars if you have two. When your remaining car needs to be replaced, consider buying a used one. • Transfer credit card balances from higher-interest cards to a low- or no-interest card, and then cancel the old accounts. • Ask about insurance discounts and review your insurance needs (e.g., your need for life insurance may have lessened). • Reduce discretionary expenses such as lunches and dinners out. By planning carefully, investing wisely, and spending thoughtfully, you can increase the likelihood that your retirement will be a financially comfortable one.

You've worked hard your whole life anticipating the day you could finally retire, and the day has arrived! But with it comes the realization that you'll need to carefully manage your assets to give them lasting potential. Review your portfolio regularly Traditional wisdom holds that retirees should value the safety of their principal above all else. For this reason, some people shift their investment portfolio to fixed-income investments, such as bonds and money market accounts, as they approach retirement. The problem with this approach is that you'll effectively lose purchasing power if the return on your investments doesn't keep up with inflation. While it makes sense generally for your portfolio to become progressively more conservative as you grow older, it might be wise to consider maintaining at least a portion of your portfolio in growth investments. Spend wisely Don't assume that you'll be able to live on the earnings generated by your investment portfolio and retirement accounts for the rest of your life. At some point, you'll probably have to start drawing on the principal. But you'll want to be careful not to spend too much too soon. This can be a great temptation, particularly early in retirement. A good guideline is to make sure your annual withdrawal rate isn't greater than 4-6 percent of your portfolio. (The appropriate percentage for you will depend on a number of factors, including the length of your payout period and your portfolio's asset allocation.) Remember that if you whittle away your principal too quickly, you may not be able to earn enough on the remaining principal to carry you through the later years. Understand your retirement plan distribution options Most pension plans pay benefits in the form of an annuity. If you're married, you generally must choose between a higher retirement benefit paid over your lifetime, or a smaller benefit that continues to your spouse after your death. A financial professional can help you with this difficult, but important, decision. Other employer retirement plans, such as 401(k)s, typically don't pay benefits as annuities; the distribution (and investment) options available to you may be limited. This might be important because if you're trying to stretch your savings, you'll want to withdraw money from your retirement accounts as slowly as possible. Doing so will conserve the principal balance, and will also give those funds the chance to continue growing tax-deferred during your retirement years. Consider whether it makes sense to roll your employer retirement account into a traditional IRA, which typically has very flexible withdrawal options. If you decide to work for another employer, you might also be able to transfer assets you've accumulated to your new employer's plan, if the new employer offers a retirement plan and allows a rollover. Plan for required distributions Keep in mind that you must generally begin taking minimum distributions from employer retirement plans and traditional IRAs when you reach age 70½, whether you need them or not. You might consider spending these dollars first in retirement. If you own a Roth IRA, you aren't required to take any distributions during your lifetime. Your funds can continue to grow tax-deferred, and qualified distributions will be tax free. Because of these unique tax benefits, it generally makes sense to withdraw funds from a Roth IRA last. Know your Social Security options You'll need to decide when to start receiving your Social Security retirement benefits. At normal retirement age (which varies from 66 to 67, depending on the year you were born), you can receive your full Social Security retirement benefit. You can elect to receive your Social Security retirement benefit as early as age 62, but if you begin receiving your benefit before your normal retirement age, your benefit will be reduced. Conversely, if you delay retirement, you can increase your Social Security retirement benefit. Consider phasing For many workers, the sudden change from employee to retiree can be a difficult one. Some employers, especially those in the public sector, have begun offering "phased retirement" plans to address this problem. Phased retirement generally allows you to continue

The Downtown Beaufort Merchants Association will once again roll out the red carpet – and the sale racks – for the August edition of First Friday on Aug. 3. The theme for this month’s family-friendly event is “Inside, Outside, Sidewalk Sale,” with a variety of downtown shops, restaurants, galleries and specialty stores featuring special discounts, sales, and promotions to celebrate this monthly event. Some retailers will display merchandise outside so shoppers can get a glimpse of their unique offerings. Others plan to have demonstrations, entertainment, and refreshments inside for customers to enjoy. Merchants will stay open late, as the event runs from 5-8 p.m., and shoppers can browse the deals

while listening to live music and entertainment. G.I. Gypsy will perform at the clock on Bay and West streets, while Liam Cronin and Candice Rae Skingley will fill the sidewalks with their unique blend of high-energy musical harmony, and First Friday favorites the Harbormasters will pop in and out of shops belting out great melodies. First Friday is a great way to spend the evening downtown taking in the sights and sounds, shopping, eating, and supporting local businesses.

NEW SHOP OPENS Shoppers visiting downtown Beaufort for the August First Friday event might notice a new shop on the block. Bathe, a new store offering a complete line of hand-crafted natural soaps and other bath and body products made right here in Beaufort, has opened at 210 Scott Street. Owner Natalie Wohlwend envisions Bathe as a “maker’s boutique,” where she crafts soap, lotion, lip balm and more in view of patrons. “I really want people to see how our products are made,” Wohlwend said. “I believe in the artistry of hand-crafted, local goods that are made with care and attention.” Wohlwend fell in love with Beaufort when she moved here with her family seven years ago. Opening Bathe is quite a departure from her past career as an operations manager, but Wohlwend decided to take a leap of faith to open the store. “I was at a friend’s house in Asheville, looking at the beautiful scenery, and thought to myself, ‘Our time is precious and I need to take advantage of every minute.’ And then I took stock of my life, goals that I set for myself, and what I still wanted to do,” Wohlwend said. “Then I went for it.” Wohlwend credits her sister, Stacy Prince (Kiss A Prince Soap Company) with igniting her passion for soap making. Wohlwend learned the craft over several years by assisting her sister in Anderson, S.C. “My sister taught me everything I know about making Natalie Wohlwend, owner of Beaufort's newest shop, Bathe. soap,” Wohlwend said. “She spent years developing recipes Join Bathe for its grand and shared all of them with me. opening with a ribbon cutting Only a sister would do that.

If they run out of something you are looking for, Wohlwend will likely make it for you the same day. “I’ve had several people come in looking for a specific essential oil in a body wash or a whipped body butter. I ask them to come back in a few hours and I will have it ready for them,” Wohlwend said. “They are usually shocked that I can and will do this. It makes me really happy to see their appreciation.” While many local businesses have come and gone over the years, Wohlwend hopes the unique nature of her store and the commitment to customer service will help Bathe become a fixture downtown. “Beaufort is my home,” she said. “I hope to share my passion with our community for years to come.”

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

I recently awoke to a beautiful summer morning. The sky was blue, the temperature outside was in the 70s, with low humidity. I stepped out onto the porch, breathed in the morning air, and then it dawned on me, “Oh no! I have an 8 a.m. dentist appointment.” Talk about killing a great mood. I bring this routine on myself by scheduling a cleaning every six months. It was time. As I was driving over the bridge to the dentist’s office, I started doing my yoga breathing: inhale deeply, exhale completely. Anything to help eliminate the angst I was feeling. This dread was not due to my present dentist, per se, but from those early childhood dentist appointments. We did not have fluoride in the water or the toothpaste when I was a child, and any trip to the dentist usually meant cavities. The sound of that drill still resides in my memory. When I became an adult, I found a dentist who advertised, “We cater to cowards.” Now that is my kind of dentist. He would give nitrous oxide to breathe in, presumably to help relax his patients. He also provided headphones to listen to music. He had a variety of cassette tapes on hand. This helped to drown out the sound of that drill. I remember one particularly good visit when I looked out the window from the dental chair as I was inhaling the nitrous oxide and, I swear, I saw Bambi in the garden outside the office window. Afterwards when my head cleared, I realized it was the parking lot I had been viewing. No Bambi. There may have been a little too much ni-

When I became an adult, I found a dentist who advertised, “We cater to cowards.” Now that is my kind of dentist. trous oxide given that day. For my latest visit, there was no nitrous oxide, but my hygienist, Lynne, did a great job cleaning my teeth and then declared I was doing a great job flossing. I think it was the first time anyone has ever said that to me. Then she handed me a warm facecloth to wipe down my splattered face. I felt like a first-class airline passenger. It was wonderful. My childhood drilling dentist never gave out warm cloths, or trinkets, or even stickers. But Lynne gave me a new toothbrush, toothpaste and a package of floss. Of course, I had to look at my teeth in the rear-view mirror before I started the car to see how clean they looked. (We all do it.) As I drove home I started to give myself an, “Atta Girl!” for having my teeth cleaned. When I finally got home I walked into the kitchen and said to my spouse, “Look, Mom, no cavities!” It was a beautiful day after all.

Not Just Another Pinot Grigio

Namaste y’all.

At this time of year, Pinot Grigio always comes to mind – or at least it used to. Ten or 20 years ago, when the weather got hotter and humidity reared its oppressive head at us, Pinot Grigio became the white wine of choice. It was even more popular than Chardonnay. As the years passed, and the number of wine drinkers increased along with the choices of wines, Pinot Grigio became a year-round favorite, as it should be. Now, there are a plethora of Pinot Grigios to select from, and our chore is to find the good ones. The Veneto, located in northeastern Italy, is the region many Pinot Grigios come from. The Veneto is the eighth-largest region in Italy, with over four million people and 220,000 acres of vines. It is the country’s largest producer of DOC wines, 55 percent of them being white. One of Italy’s leading wine schools, Conegliano, is here, along with their most important wine fair, Vinitaly. Glera, a local variety which we all know as Prosecco, is their most popular grape, followed by Verduzzo, Cabernet, Chardonnay and Pinots. The United States is one of the region’s largest markets. Pinot Grigio, or Pinot Gris, depending on where this grape is produced, is one of four members of the Pinot grape family. (Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier are the others.) Like other varieties, it reflects its origins with its flavors and textures. From France, where the wines are know as Pinot Gris, it shows more fruitiness with lemon, peach and honey flavors and more body. From the United States and Australia, and other warmer climates, its wines are fruity, dry and fuller bodied, with nectarine and peach flavors and often produced with some oak treatment. These wines are most often

called Pinot Grigios, a more marketable name. From northern Italy, with its cooler climate and leaner soils, Pinot Grigio wines are lighter-bodied with citrus (lemon and lime) flavors, salinity and Celia Strong minerality. Our Pinot Grigio comes from Villa Sandi. The villa dates back to 1622 and is located in an area known as the “Garden of Venice” – 60 miles from the city of Venice. Its cellars run underground for almost a mile, a perfect environment for aging wines. Villa Sandi is one of the leading producers in this area. It is owned by the Moretti Polegato family, who have a long history in grape growing. Besides a group of excellent, sparkling Prosecco wines, they produce still wines. The Villa Sandi DOC Pinot Grigio della Venezia is our wine. Worth noting is its DOC status. Many Pinot Grigios, though good, do not have this high a level, legally speaking. The wine is a very pale, straw yellow color. It is full of fruit and floral aromas and flavors. Lemon, lime zest, tangerine, yellow apples, nectarines, peaches, green pears, melons, orange blossoms, acacia, honeysuckle, so similar to the countryside where the grapes grow. It has a rounded texture in your mouth, with a crisp, lingering acidity and a mineral finish. Refreshing and beautifully balanced. Perfect for sipping, but also exceptional with many foods that are basics in our area, such as shellfish, seafood, tomatoes, salads, chilled pastas, and sushi. For $9.99. Enjoy.

Give blood in July at OneBlood

The summer months put a severe hardship on the blood product supply nationally. The demand goes up and the collections go down because people are traveling more frequently and participating in outdoor activities. OneBlood, a local, community, non-profit blood bank, will hold the following drives in the Beaufort area in July: • July 26 — Lady’s Island Internal Medicine — 8:30 a.m.-11 p.m. • July 26 — Keyserling Cancer Center — 12:30 p.m.-4 p.m. • July 27 — Lowcountry Medical Group — 11 a.m.-4 p.m. • July 30 — Harris Pillow Supply — 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

Children are invited to Tuesday Turtle Talks

Every Tuesday in July, boys and girls and “children of all ages” are invited to Hunting Island State Park to learn all you ever wanted to know about sea turtles. The Friends of Hunting Island will be at the picnic pavilion near the lighthouse at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday morning to talk about these wonderful creatures and answer all your questions. You’ll learn why and when the mother turtles return to Hunting Island, how they dig their nests and lay their eggs, what happens when the eggs hatch, and what challenges the baby turtles have on their way to the ocean. After the free talks there will be a free optional beach walk to see some nests and how they are kept safe. Sea turtles are so important to South Carolina beaches, and learning about them is a first step in making sure they continue to be protected and keep coming back to Hunting Island and to other coastal habitats. Park admission entry fees apply. For more information, go to the Friends of Hunting Island website or to the Facebook page: FOHI Sea Turtle Conservation Project.

YMCA adds additional CPR training dates

The Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal will offer four more CPR classes for community members this year. The courses will be held on four Saturdays — July 21, Aug. 18, Sept. 8, and Oct. 13 — from 8 a.m. to noon. Cost is $30 for this YMCA-certified course, and those interested need to register at the Y as space is limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Contact aquatics director Lou Bergen at 843-522-9622 to register or visit beaufort-jasperymca.org.

Friends of Hunting Island Beach Celebration

On Saturday, July 28, everyone is invited to participate in the annual Sand

Sculpting Contest on Hunting Island. Registration starts at 11 a.m. at the lighthouse and judging starts at 2 p.m. with prizes awarded at 2:30 p.m. in the various categories — Sand Fleas (children up to 10), Sand Hoppers (11-17), Sand Tribes (mixed age groups and families) — as well as a prize for the People’s Choice Award for $1 per vote. Also at 11 a.m., children are invited to the inaugural Sea Turtle Survival Challenge, a 10-15 minute interactive, educational, and experiential re-creation of what baby turtle hatchlings have to do on their way to the ocean — getting out of the nest, crawling over obstacles, making their way around objects in the sand, avoiding holes dug in the sand, and finally reaching the water and the waves. There is no charge to participate in these events but entry to Hunting Island State Park requires a FOHI membership or paying the usual park entrance fee. There will be refreshments at the gift store, as well as t-shirt dyeing with park staff and face painting. For more information, go to friendsofhuntingisland.org.

Friends of Hunting Island upcoming events

On Saturday, Aug. 4, and Sunday, Aug. 5, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., members of the Beaufort Radio Amateur Group (BRAG) will have their equipment at the Hunting Island Lighthouse to set up a radio station to coincide with National Lighthouse Day. Operators will be on-site to interact with visitors as BRAG “activates” the Hunting Island Lighthouse to “speak” to other lighthouses in coordination with celebrations at hundreds of lighthouses across the country. For a behind-the-scenes look at the lighthouse, Ted Panayotoff, Lighthouse Director of Friends of Hunting Island, will conduct his popular Interpretive Lighthouse Tour at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9. Attendees meet at the lighthouse. Reservations are necessary. Call 843-838-7437. The Hunting Island Lighthouse is the only lighthouse in SC open to the public. There is a $2 fee to climb it and you must be over 44 inches tall. On Friday, Aug. 10, at 2 p.m., a ceremony will be held to honor the last keeper at Hunting Island Lighthouse, Theodore Gaillard, and his wife, Estelle Ellen Gaillard. It will be at the Parish Church of St. Helena Cemetery at St. Luke’s Gate on Newcastle St. between King and Prince streets in downtown Beaufort. Keeper Gaillard retired in 1942 after serving at a lighthouse in Savannah Harbor to which he was transferred when the Hunting Island Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1933. A U.S. Lighthouse Service grave marker will be placed on their graves with a benediction by Rev. Todd Simonis, and “Taps” will be played by a bugler from the Coast Guard. A poster with a photo of the Gaillards will be on display, and Panayotoff will give a summary of keeper Gaillard’s lighthouse service and Coast Guard career. On Saturday, Aug. 11, at 2 p.m. at the Hunting Island Lighthouse, the Beaufort Harbormasters will present a concert to honor and celebrate the history of this historic lighthouse. Bring lawn chairs for better enjoyment. All are invited to attend these free events, though there is an entry fee to Hunting Island State Park.

THURSDAY’S CHUCKLE Read with caution; not necessarily the opinions of the editorial staff.

JULY 26 - AUGUST 1, 2018

1987.

The retirement plan began over two cups of black coffee. Not by coincidence, it was toasted with a 30year-old single malt in

2018.

A toast-worthy plan does more than help ensure you can maintain your lifestyle, now and well into the future. It also helps you be prepared for what’s next. Whether that’s managing your legacy through a well-crafted estate plan or making the most of charitable giving. A Raymond James advisor can lay the groundwork with your fulfilling next chapter in mind. LIFE WELL PLANNED.
