Celebrate with Fourth of July fun

WHAT’S INSIDE?

For the second year in a row, the Parris Island Marine Band is scheduled to perform a mix of patriotic to popular music at The Sands Beach in Port Royal at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4, 2014, in order to celebrate Independence Day with the local community.

Following the band’s free performance, a fireworks display, presented by the town of Port Royal and the Historic Port Royal Foundation, will start at approximately 9 p.m. The town’s festivities begin at 5 p.m.

Parris Island will not hold its own fireworks display again this year. In 2013, Parris Island

opted not to hold any Fourth of July events in order to minimize the fiscal impact on vital programs affected by sequestration. This year’s decision was made not only to save money, but also as a fitting way for Parris Island to share the holiday with its neighbors.

“Having the Parris Island band is the highlight of our annual Fourth celebration.

The fireworks are good and the food and drink good, but folks now anticipate bringing their chairs and enjoying the patriotic songs that are the prelude to the fireworks,” said Joe Lee, Port

Thousands of people were on hand to hunt for shark teeth last Saturday morning at The Sands in Port Royal. Young and old alike came early as the Shark Tooth Fairy, also known as Mike Harris, tossed out handfuls of Megalodon and other shark teeth as well as assorted fossilized bones to be found — and all for free.

Beaufort installs new, old-look street signs New and more appropriate street signs are being erected in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District this summer, completing an effort that began more than a decade ago.

“This has been a long time coming, but the effect is impressive,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling. “The new street signs are easy to read, they will be used only on streets in the Historic District, and they also have a ‘1711’ to showcase when Beaufort was founded.”

In 1954, the Beaufort City Council approved the first street name signs

for the city. The signs were white with black letters, with a black border. Over time, those signs deteriorated and were replaced with state-issued street name signs with white lettering on a green background.

DNR holds courtesy boating inspections for 4th weekend In an effort to keep state waterways safe during the upcoming July Fourth holiday, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division will again be conducting courtesy safety inspections at some public boat landings.

S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) boating safety and enforcement officers will perform a quick, but thorough, inspection for items such as required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registration. Those who are not in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections. Instead, they will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat. DNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water.

To report boating violations such as reckless operation or an intoxicated boat operator, call the DNR toll-free, 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-5431. For a copy

On Wednesday, July 9 at 6 p.m. in the Dolphin Room at The Best Western Sea Island Inn on Bay Street, a consultant team will present initial findings on the retail market in downtown Beaufort. The presentation is part of a larger initiative to understand the current state of retail in downtown and to devise strategies to encourage future economic growth in the district.

The presentation follows an initial round of community input involving dozens of stakeholder interviews, an online survey that gathered nearly 900 local responses, and around 5,000 customer visits recorded by 51 downtown merchants in a weeklong zip code survey of customers conducted in May.

The Parris Island Marine Band’s primary mission is to provide musical support for recruit graduations and other military ceremonies and events. In addition to playing at approximately 40 recruit graduations each year, the band also performs in community events across the United States and locally.

Parris Island’s band was formed on Oct. 28, 1915, around the same time enlisted recruit training was permanently established here.

Musicians originally doubled as marksmanship instructors, close combat instructors and provided support for various units on the depot.

SHOULD YOU OPT FOR A 3-D MAMMOGRAM?

Tomosynthesis does not replace the traditional mammogram.

Leave fireworks to professionals this Fourth of July

By Dr. Mark S. Siegel

I recall a few extraordinary patients during my ophthalmology residency who have left an indelible memory.

One such patient was a 13 year old who was playing with an M-80 explosive device that he placed in a soup can. The subsequent explosion sent shards of metal that were absorbed by his face and one of his eyes. The metal perforated his cornea and lens and lodged in the back wall of his eye in his retina. After multiple surgeries, he can see a hand waved in front of his face.

I really hate to be a buzz kill before this Fourth of July holiday — what should be a time when wonderful memories are made with family and loved ones.

Unfortunately, more than 9,000 fireworks injuries happen each year on average in the United States, with roughly 1 in 8 fireworks injuries harming

Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com. 525-1500.

the eyes, according to the most recent fireworks injury report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Common fireworks eye injuries include burns, lacerations, abrasions, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage and ruptured eyeballs.

Those injured are not necessarily handling the explosives themselves. In fact, nearly half of people injured by fireworks are bystanders, according to an international study. Children are frequent victims: 30 percent who sustained a

fireworks injury near the Fourth of July holiday are ages 15 and under, according to the commission report.

Even sparklers can burn more than 1,000 degrees hotter than the boiling point of water. So, fireworks should not be thought of as toys, but devices that can cause third-degree burns. This is why people must be vigilant and take precautions to avoid the risk of serious eye injury.

Fireworks Safety Tips The best way to avoid a potentially blinding fireworks injury is by attending a professional public fireworks show rather than purchasing fireworks for home use.

For those who attend professional fireworks displays and/or live in communities surrounding the shows: • Respect safety barriers at fireworks shows and view fireworks from at least 500 feet away.

• Do not touch unexploded fireworks; instead, immediately contact local fire or police departments to help.

For those who decide to purchase consumer fireworks because they live in states where they are legal, such as South Carolina, follow the following safety tips to prevent eye injuries: • Never let children play with fireworks of any type, even sparklers.

• Adults handling fireworks should always wear protective eyewear that meets the parameters set by the American National Standards Institute and ensure that all bystanders are also wearing eye protection.

• Leave the lighting of professionalgrade fireworks to trained pyro technicians.

Remember, if an eye injury from fireworks occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

What you give is what you get

By Susan Stone

Do you have a happy life? Do you look forward to the mystery of what each day will hold? If so, there is nothing you need to change. Keep up the good work!

If not, what is the point? When do you plan to begin your extraordinary life?

Being over 50 has come with so many gifts. Many of life’s struggles are behind me now. But, in looking around, age doesn’t seem to be a happiness indicator. For many people, the older they get, the more things they find to complain about.

You are getting from life exactly what you are giving to it. It is the law — Universal Law. I don’t remember hearing about this in school. In fact, I did not know about universal laws until I was almost 40.

What a relief to know why my life was not working.

Even though God has a sense of humor, the universe does not. Its laws are cold and treat each one of us exactly the same. The universal laws level out the playing field, so to speak.

Awakenings

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

I used to think that life was unfair.

It appeared that some people were just luckier than I was. It seemed very unjust that anyone was hungry, homeless or sick.

It felt terrible to experience the untimely death of a young person. Until, I was introduced to the laws.

It doesn’t appear to matter whether we believe in them or not, we are bound to them. Like physical laws, they do not require our understanding. You do not have to understand the mechanics or the dynamics of gravity to be bound to it.

When you drop a hammer, be sure your toes are somewhere else.

We heard a lot about the Law of Attraction when the book and movie “The Secret” became popular. For some, it was the first time they had ever heard of universal Susan Stone law. And so, I thank all of the authors for introducing the concept of “creating your own reality.” But today I would like to introduce you to one of the lesser known laws: The Law of Reciprocity. Without it, we may find creating our own reality a little challenging.

The Law of Reciprocity is all about giving and receiving. It sounds rather elementary, but many of us are not even able to receive a compliment without dodging it; we look down or away. We diminish it with “Oh, this old thing?”

Energetically, reciprocity is all about control, or the lack thereof. If you are giving, you are in control of who you give

to, what you give, when you give and how much you give. When you are on the receiving end, you control nothing except your response. You cannot control the amount given, the time it is given, the who or the why. You are vulnerable at this point and, generally, humility is the last thing we think of as a tool. Why does a humble “thank you” not seem enough? We want to run out and do something for that person, or buy something to pay them back.

When you receive a kindness from anyone, remember that you are getting from this world exactly what you have put in to it. It is simply your kindness coming back around. Isn’t that cool?

Recently, Martha O’Regan wrote, “Present from the past and in to the future,” introducing the idea that the present moment was pre-sent by you. So, enjoy the rewards of being a kind person. Receive gladly the generosity you have shown others. When something seems unfair, go back and look where you sent that from.

The answers will amaze you!

Debunking common dental myths among adults

By Dr. Jennifer Wallace

When it comes to dental health, that “ignorance is bliss” approach should be reserved for children. For adults, dental myths that may lead to a wiser you and a healthier mouth.

“I haven’t seen the dentist in years so I don’t have any cavities.” NOT TRUE. Many dental issues do not cause pain until they have progressed very far, for example, a root canal. Gum disease, on the other hand, may not cause any pain at all. Seeing your dentist regularly is the only way to ensure you don’t have any of these issues.

Your visit to the dentist should be based on your individual needs. Many studies have shown that plaque can build up in as little as 90 days, which leads to inflammation and infection that can affect your entire body. So if you want a really healthy smile, and body, having your teeth cleaned four

4

times a year is the way to go.

“I don’t eat sweets, so I don’t need to brush as often.” NOT TRUE. Removing the bacteria from your mouth is important no matter what you eat, because many foods are broken down into sugars. What are the worst offenders for your grill? Foods that stick to the teeth like raisins and fruit rollups, along with foods that have a high acid content, such as citrus fruits.

“Flossing is as important as brushing.”

TRUE. Flossing removes almost half of the bacteria and food particles that are found in your mouth after you eat; not flossing means you’re doing half the job.

“Hard bristled toothbrushes clean better.” NOT TRUE (unless you are cleaning the grout on the bathroom tile floor instead of your teeth!) The softer the better for bristles — hard or medium bristles can damage teeth and worsen gum

the island news | july 3-9, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

recession due to a traumatic occlusion.

Also, studies show that high-quality electric toothbrushes with soft bristles are a great investment because they clean better than manual tooth brushes.

“Mouthwash is the best way to freshen your breath.” NOT TRUE. Most mouthwashes cover bad breath but they do not treat the underlying cause. Bad breath can be caused by bacteria in your mouth, cavities, gum disease, or it may be a sign of other medical issues. Your dentist can help rule out dental issues as the cause.

If you like using mouthwash, go with an alcohol-free brand, because the alcohol in mouthwash will dry out your mouth. And while we are talking about fresh breath, sugar free gum with Xylitol is an effective way to get a clean mouth feeling if you can’t brush.

“Avoiding dark liquids and coffees or drinking through a straw will keep your

teeth from getting dark.” MOSTLY TRUE. It’s more than coffee, tea and soda that stain our teeth. Teeth that have wear and enamel loss tend to be darker because those teeth have less of a protective layer against those staining liquids. Foods such as berry pies, soy sauces, red sauces and mustards/ketchups can cause teeth to darken over time. The best way to whiten your teeth and keep them white is to visit your dentist and have him do an in office whitening or make you custom trays.

There are some over the counter whitening products like whitening toothpastes, but they typically do very little to whiten teeth.

Use regular toothpaste with fluoride to keep your teeth looking great and cavityfree.

ABOUT TEETH

Dr. Kat says...we see the benefit of fluoride everyday in the reduction of decay in children, but on the other hand, fluorosis (white spots in the enamel) is becoming much more prevalent in children. The federal government is studying a proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in our drinking water, which should help reduce the amount of fluorosis we are seeing. In the meantime, make sure your child is using the “smear” technique of putting toothpaste on the brush. Smearing a small dab on the brush should be less than the “pea-size” amount previously recommended. Also, you should be monitoring the 2-7 year olds (the most important ages for enamel development of permanent teeth), in making sure they are spitting the toothpaste out rather than ingesting it. A child less than 2 should be using water only or fluoride-free training toothpaste.

Beaufortonians attend Lutz-Walker wedding in N.C.

By Lanier Laney

There was a beautiful wedding in Highlands, N.C., last weekend between Beaufort native Will Lutz and Elizabeth Walker of Highlands. Elizabeth’s father, the Reverend Bruce Walker, is the rector of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation there and her mother, Susie, is a teacher. Will’s parents are Maxine Lutz, executive director of Historic Beaufort Foundation, and Benton Lutz, a writer, artist and psychologist here. Both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception had spectacular mountain views and the cool weather was enjoyed by all the attending Beaufortonians. The couple will be living in Baltimore, Md. Here are some pictures for you from the joyous event:

New coach tabbed to guide Beaufort High boys basketball Nate Livesay has been named head coach of the Beaufort High School boys basketball team.

An experienced coach, Livesay last coached as a head coach on the high school level in 2011, guiding Sumter High School. Following the stint at Sumter High School, Livesay took on the position of advocacy direction with World Orphans, a nonprofit organization. His role with the World

Orphans’ mission afforded him an opportunity to visit Haiti six times and Ethiopia twice during a two-year span.

Not stepping completely away from the sidelines, Livesay coached with the Upward Stars AAU program. He spent this past season as an assistant coach with Dreher High School.

Livesay’s accomplished coaching resume includes positions as an assistant coach at A.C. Flora High

School, Presbyterian College and King University in Bristol, Tenn.

At the helm of the Beaufort High School boys’ basketball program, Livesay takes over for Bruce Beasley. The school’s longtime head coach, Beasley did not have his contract renewed.

During his eight years as head coach at Sumter High School, Livesay put together a 155-55 record. He won four region titles, reached the Class

4-A Lower State championship game twice and advanced to the Lower State Semifinals on four occasions.

The Dreher High School boys’ basketball team that Livesay served as an assistant coach for during the 201314 season concluded its campaign 19-1 after winning the Region 4-AAAA title and reaching the Class 4-A quarterfinals.

Livesay will teach English at Beaufort High School.

Beaufort High graduate Delatorre leading league in strikeouts

Beaufort High School graduate Junior Delatorre is leading the Valley Baseball League in strikeouts.

Delatorre, a right-handed pitcher out of Beaufort High, paces the Virginia-based wooden bat league with 32 strikeouts. He plays for the Valley Baseball League’s Aldie Senators.

Delatorre’s league-leading strikeout total was through Monday, June 30. He struck out 14 batters in his second start versus the Strasburg Express.

Currently a pitcher at the University of South

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

District introduces improved volunteer screening process The Beaufort County School District has begun conducting annual background checks on all volunteers through an enhanced screening process. The district also has improved the protocols within its volunteer program to ensure a consistent approach at every school.

The district has contracted with Background Investigation Bureau (BIB) to conduct nationwide screenings on all volunteer applicants and to notify schools and applicants on search results. The

service costs $20 per screening, and annual costs are expected to be around $40,000.

“Our goal is to create a learning environment that’s safe for our students,” said Superintendent Jeffrey Moss. “We value our volunteers and want to make sure they are the right fit for our schools.”

The district estimates that 1,500-2,000 volunteers will apply for the upcoming school year, and both new and current volunteers will be screened under the new process. Each approved volunteer will have

a badge, which will be required along with a photo ID when entering a school. The badge expires after one year.

For screening purposes, a volunteer is described as having direct contact with students under limited supervision or spending short periods of time with students outside of staff view. In order to become a volunteer, applicants must complete an online form, obtain approval from BIB and the district, and participate in orientation and training.

“This new process will enhance our screening efforts, it will make procedures consistent in all schools, and it will improve communication between the schools and the district office,” said Alice Walton, Chief Administrative and Human Resources Officer. “When we all work together — teachers, staff and volunteers — our students reap the benefits.”

The district is encouraging both current and prospective volunteers to fill out the application on the district website.

The Learning Center Fund receives progress reports Five institutions showing improvements, and more to be served next academic year

The Learning Center Fund is growing exponentially throughout the county, and its greatest reward is a collective assertion from parents, students, teachers and administrators that the program is working for a diverse population of students. The ultimate goal of The Learning Center Fund is to make resources available to children who learn differently, so that they can embrace education with enthusiasm and confidence both in and beyond the classroom. It is available to every child in Beaufort County.

The Learning Center Fund, established through the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF), held its annual meeting on May 22 to receive progress reports from the various institutions to which the fund grants awards. The organizations served this calendar year include The Boys & Girls Club of the Lowcountry, Bridges Preparatory School, Penn Center, St. Peter’s Catholic School and Beaufort County School District’s Child Find Expansion Grant. The fund has also granted awards to John Paul II Catholic School and AMIkids, who will begin Learning Centers at each respective location this August. And, Holy Trinity Christian School has submitted a grant application for next year as well.

Board Members of The Learning Center Fund present at the meeting were Malcolm Goodridge, David House and Charles Kresch. Also in attendance were Edna Davis, regional vice president for CCF, and D. C. Gilley, CCF board member.

Collectively, all of the institutions showed great progress with an increase in students’ test scores, more focused behavior and greater confidence in reading and math. Students served in this program this year ranged from 2 years old to those in twelfth grade.

The youngest of children served in Beaufort County were assisted by a team of three early childhood professionals within the County’s School District Child Find Expansion Grant. An extensive media campaign was launched to target public and private schools, child care centers, pediatricians, medical facilities and community

agencies serving children and families, and monthly screening sites were set up. Child Find purchased assessment materials and readiness packets, and the school district developed an extensive data collection system for the grant, capable of monitoring and tracking results.

To date, 166 children have been screened, and 102 were identified and referred to preschool programs.

Through vision, hearing, speech and development data collected for each child, the team identified 20 children in need of further formal evaluation.

Twelve of these children became enrolled in Early Childhood Special Education Intervention programs last year thanks to the grant from The Learning Center Fund.

Kay Newsome, Child Find’s director, explains, “We feel the grant has already surpassed our expectations for the current year, and screening opportunities are still under way.”

Laura McAlhaney, The Learning Center Coach at Bridges Preparatory School, agrees. “The best thing about this generously funded program is that coaching has touched the lives of 34 learners here at Bridges,” she says.

Rubric at the beginning of the year to identify students who could potentially use the services of the center. The rubric indicated that 100 percent of students receiving services showed improvement in one of more areas of classroom behavior, academic skills, cognitive/ processing/memory skills and classroom performance skills.

“Using MAP testing scores as a measurement tool, 60 percent of students enrolled with TLC made gains of one or more years, and 100 percent showed these same gains using the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System,” explained McAlhaney.

St. Peter’s Catholic School also used the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System. Of the 16 students given reading services, 100 percent made gains. Some made as many as seven or eight levels, and one student tested out of the program in January.

Nancy Kessel and Pam Pesavento are the Learning Center reading coaches at St. Peter’s, and Joe Benning, the school’s principal, is the math coach who served seven students.

Two organizations that benefitted from The Learning Center Fund were after-school programs at Penn Center and The Boys & Girls Club of the Lowcountry.

Penn Center’s coach, Ruby Jackson, identified 15 students with learning differences by obtaining BCSD reports from parents. Tutors were assigned based on age, and 100% of the students served improved academically and exhibited better social interaction by the school year’s end. As opposed to other programs, Penn Center’s teachers had the ability to discuss student’s progress with parents each afternoon at pick up, which gave the teachers a communication advantage and the opportunity to have one-on-one conferences.

One of the proudest accomplishments Jackson witnessed this year was watching a student climb from a 17 percent grade point average for his age to a 75 percent.

She adds, “I can see differences, not only academically, but in their attitudes as well. The extra attention is helping

their self-esteem, which is necessary for future success.”

The other after school program was located at The Boys & Girls Club and was administered by Erin Ruth. She serviced nine children directly, but over 100 received academic support.

“The direct support to these nine students allowed them to maintain their skill levels and graduate to the next grade level. Without this program, these students would have fallen through the cracks,” explains Ruth.

The Boys & Girls Club will be moving this summer due to modification of classrooms at Bridges Preparatory School, which is located at the Boundary Street facility. The Learning Center will be offered this summer at its temporary location at Shanklin School for an eight-week program. It started on June 9th and will focus on eliminating the summer learning loss using funds from this grant.

Implementation of The Learning Center at John Paul II Catholic School begins in August. The school has hired its Learning Center coach, Carol Martos, and a math tutor, Marie Nicksa.

Enrollment for the upcoming school year has more than doubled, and the school district has tested three of the school’s students with another two pending as having learning differences. This is in addition to six who have already been identified as having dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Sister Pamela Smith, SS.C.M., Ph.D. is the school’s principal.

“The school is committed to offering as much as possible to its students. In addition to having staff of The Learning Center, we also hired two teachers who are certified in the education of gifted and talented students to assure that we truly meet the needs of students with a full spectrum of abilities,” she says.

Each organization was given a grant between $5,000 and $50,000 from The Learning Center Fund and was required to match funds. All organizations will continue their respective Learning Center programs for the 2014/2015 academic year.

To understand students who learn differently is to understand educational research and the practice of knowing the whole child as a learner. Research and understanding dictates the need to individualize student learning, wherein educators recognize and build upon a student’s strengths while simultaneously providing remediation and support for areas of weakness. Based on this knowledge and best practice, The Learning Center Fund recognizes that basically all children can be identified as learning differently — that is what makes each student an individual.

Final Street Music show rocks on

By Bob Sofaly

The fourth and last series of the summer presentation of Street Music on Paris Avenue had the audience on their feet last Saturday evening in Port Royal. The Burt Walker Band from Nashville, Tenn., played some original music as well as other Blues standards as a cool breeze helped keep the temperature down. Many brought their own snacks and libations and sat in neighborhood groups, while others mixed and mingled and made new friends.

Bryson White, 2-year-old son of Robbie and Cyndi White of Fripp Island, helps himself to fresh fruit prior the start of the concert.

The men said they formed an unofficial Dataw Island Social Club for the concert.

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

‘southern enthusiasts’ AFTER RELOCATING TO BEAUFORT FROM THE WEST COAST, COREY AND ANN HIGGINS OPEN SCOUT SOUTHERN MARKET

By Lanier Laney Corey Higgins, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, met his wife, Ann, in her hometown of San Francisco.

He said, “We dated, fell in love, and got married on April 18, 1998 — a memorable date, as it’s the anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which the city celebrates each year. We got married in the only church that survived the earthquake with the throngs of tourists and locals rejoicing all around, we felt like it was for us. It sounds romantic, and it was!”

By the time they decided to move to Beaufort, Corey had spent more than 20 years working in design and marketing for a video game company based in Redwood City, California. Says Corey, “It was a fantastic experience and a great ride but it was time to get off the roller coaster. I wanted less travel, more family time and to pursue a business that my wife and I could do together.”

Ann, whose degree was in fashion merchandising, was the one who got Beaufort on their radar. She said, “Our first visit to Beaufort was 15 years ago. Corey had an eight-week sabbatical from work and we decided to take the time to travel the U.S. I had recently read the book ‘Beach Music’ and wanted to see if Beaufort was as romantic and beautiful as Pat Conroy describes. It most certainly is! We spent a lovely day strolling the Point and soaking in the beauty and elegance of Beaufort. We were fortunate to see a lot of towns and cities on that trip, but the one place that stuck in our minds the most was that little gem of a town tucked away in the Sea Islands. Over the past 15 years we continued to visit and eventually decided to make the move.”

One year ago, the Higgins family moved to a house on the Point from San Francisco, and Beaufort turned out to be everything they hoped it would.

They have two wonderful children — Emma, 13, and Rowan, 10, who both attend Beaufort Academy.

Says Corey, “I love how welcoming and supportive everyone has been. We come from a place where everyone is glued to their smart phones, pre-occupied and over-scheduled. I love that in Beaufort a simple hello can, and often does, turn into a pleasant and genuine conversation.”

Ann adds, “We also love that we have a wide variety of friends — all from different places, different careers and different ages. Southern culture inspires me. It’s a region unlike others. Southerners are proud of their

traditions and style. I think those who have traveled to the South, or relocated to the South, want a piece of it in their lives.”

That thinking is what led Ann and Corey to open Scout Southern Market on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. Says Ann, “Our mission with the store is to capture the Southern lifestyle. Corey describes me as a ‘Southern enthusiast.’ I love to discover new things and searching for products and people that inspire me. I get to work directly with amazing and talented people, from local furniture makers to specialty food aficionados.”

Adds Corey, “You have to be passionate about what you do. It sounds cliché but it’s true. I’ve never worked with someone more passionate about her job than my wife, Ann. It’s been a thrill to support her after she has supported my career for so many years.”

And Ann appreciates the support — from Corey, her children and the town. She said, “Truly, the sincere support from Beaufortonians is amazing. First welcoming us to the area and now dropping by the store giving me well wishes every day.”

Says Corey, “I’d like to give a shout out to the delivery men and women who service downtown Beaufort. It can be a tricky and stressful job. I never really realized it until I started helping unload commercial refrigerators and dining room tables. Thank you! You know who you are!”

Ann has loved the whole store experience, especially talking with customers. She says, :As a small store owner, it changes every day. I’m thrilled with how well received the store has been and now my focus is greeting customers and sharing the interesting stories about the Southern-sourced items in our store, which is a thrill and very rewarding.”

Corey describes his job at Scout Southern Market with a smile: “I’m in charge of back office logistics, the marketing guy, and errand boy. Whatever I can take off of Ann’s plate so she can focus on our customers and the store experience.”

While volunteering to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Corey and Ann first heard the word “lagniappe.” Says Corey, “When we were working through the store concept, we wanted to deliver some ‘lagniappe’ to Beaufort. It’s a Creole word we learned in New Orleans that means ‘a little somethin’ extra.’

Our ‘lagniappe’ is the Sweet Tea Bar in the rear of the store. We wanted to offer our guests some delicious Southern snacks and the chance to ‘sip and shop’ their way through the store.”

Their specialty is the Scout Southern Market Iced Tea Float. The tall glass of iced tea topped with lemon or peach sorbet has been a hit with customers.

As for the future, Ann says, “I am determined to volunteer at Hunting Island when my schedule settles down a bit. I have made it a life goal to help the sea turtle hatchlings and plan to host events and raise awareness through Scout Southern Market.”

The Higgins also joined Historic Beaufort Foundation and Open Land Trust before they moved to Beaufort, and say they have enjoyed learning more about the area through these organizations.

Corey says there are plans for an online store in the future, but for now he said, “It’s important for us to get the store experience right before focusing on other things.”

Be sure to drop by Scout Southern Market and welcome Ann and Corey to the neighborhood.

wine

operation homefront

This week’s red from the Murphy-Goode winery should make all happy on the homefront

By Celia Strong

I do realize that all is not always happy on the homefront, but for most of us, a glass of wine helps. And this week we can learn about a new wine that not only tastes great but also benefits service members and their families — that’s enough to make any American happy during this Fourth of July weekend.

We travel to California, the source for about 90 percent of the wine made in the United States. Wine production in California dates back to the 18th century when Spanish missionaries planted vineyards in order to make wines for Mass. Today there are more than 1,200 wineries, all different sizes and production levels and all making the best wines they can.

Over the years, as the wine industry in California has grown, wine makers have developed a fruit-forward style for their wines; many of them ready to drink when they are purchased, or close to that. Other countries have chosen to make wines in this style, and it has become known as New World style.

More than 100 red and white grape varieties are grown in California. The diversity of soil types and climates spread throughout the state has enabled wineries to make a huge range of styles of wine, all with great success.

This week we are going to look to Sonoma County for our wine. Sonoma, the town, was the most northern of the Spanish missions established in California and it was the capital city of the California Republic — a shortlived entity resulting from the ousting of the Mexican colony. Still, today, it is the center of the wine business in the county. A visit to the town Sonoma lets you get a sense of its Spanish and Mexican beginnings — it was laid out like a traditional Spanish town where the streets run off from a large central plaza. Sonoma’s city hall, built early in the 20th century, is located in the center of the plaza. There are also about 30 restaurants around the plaza, so you can see what’s important there.

Sonoma is known as birthplace of American California. The Bear Flag

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

The Murphy-Goode Homefront Red is a passion for everyone at the winery in Sonoma, California.

For each bottle sold of this wine, the winery gives 50 cents to Operation Homefront. This is a nonprofit organization that provides financial help and other assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. was first raised in the plaza on June 14, 1986. After the Mexican-American War that followed the revolt in Sonoma, the Spanish leader General Vallejo was imprisoned and the United States flag was raised.

California’s oldest wine festival is at Valley of the Moon winery every September in Sonoma. The climate in Sonoma County is Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters.

Rainfall averages about 30 inches every year, and snow is rare.

the island news | july 3-9, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

The Homefront Red is made from the Murphy-Goode winery in Sonoma, Ca.

Our winery this week, MurphyGoode, was founded in 1985 by three friends: Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready. Their first wines were a Fumé Blanc and a Chardonnay, made from grapes grown on the Murphy Ranch. Today, Dave Ready, Jr. is the winemaker. He grew up in Minnesota but wanted to be a rock star. So, he moved to California, ended up at the winery where his dad worked and became the assistant winemaker in 1997. In 2001, he became the head winemaker. Dave still likes to play and write some songs, but his passion for wine is just as strong — the artistic urge is satisfied with both.

And, he’s loyal to the Minnesota Vikings too. The football team’s purple color is on all of Dave’s wine labels.

Our wine, the Murphy-Goode Homefront Red, is another passion for everyone at the winery. For each bottle sold of this wine, the winery gives $.50 cents to Operation Homefront. This is a nonprofit organization that provides financial help and other assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. (This charity is rated four stars by watchdog Charity Navigator. Ninety-four percent of their revenue goes to Operation Homefront.)

And, while $.50 cents from each bottle might not sound like a lot, there is no cap on how much the winery will give.

(The donation amount from the 2011 production will be close to $300,000 from 54,000 cases.) And the are possible plans for another vintage that will raise more. That means if we keep buying this wine, they will keep giving. Also, Murphy-Goode makes no profit for themselves on this wine. Helping service members and their families was a choice Dave, Jr. made because his father served in Vietnam, both grandfathers were in World War II, and his great-grandfather was in World War I. So, what is this wine? It is a red blend that, according to the winery, was a pretty easy blend to develop: Dave sat down, tasted a few bits of a few wines, and voilà. The predominant grape is Syrah, giving great texture to the wine.

There is also some Merlot for fruitiness and smoothness, some Zinfandel added for spicy flavors, and a bit of Petit Sirah gives structure. All grapes are aged in American and French oak barrels.

The finished wine has very pleasant aromas — vanilla and oaky notes with plenty of dark berry fruits. Black cherry and blackberry lead the flavors, followed with more vanilla, some cocoa powder, some black pepper spice and baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

The tannins are soft so the textures are smooth and inviting.

I know we only have the one vintage of this wine, because they’ve only made one so far, but it is worth trying while we can.

The suggested retail price is $15 dollars.

But you can find it at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $11.99. And, for you real fans? There are three big bottles, three liter bottles, available at $39.99 — that’s the equivalent amount of wine from four bottles, for $10 a bottle. For sure, you might need a few friends to share it with, but drinking together is why we taste and learn about the wine in the first place. And, with this wine, we are helping our service members and their families. Seems like a lot of good reasons why all is happy on the homefront. Enjoy.

What is a holistic vet?

By Tracie Korol

When I came to the Lowcountry seven years ago, the word “organic” had not yet arrived. It is fairly common now though used in a fairly cavalier manner as is “natural” (a word that means nothing) and now, “holistic”, a word that has been adopted to placate a growing demand for “wellness”, and you know how I feel about that word. So, what does holistic mean now that we see it attached to local veterinary practices? What should it mean?

Traditional veterinary practice (conventional) is much like what Western medicine is for humans. The focus is aimed at determining what the problem is and then trying to solve it. It is based primarily in pharmacological medicine. A traditional veterinarian may very well have your pet’s best interest at heart, but he or she is sometimes at a loss as to how best solve a chronic or undetermined condition. Western veterinary medicine offers all the diagnostic doo-dads — ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, all the way up to organ transplants and, as many of us know, tend to run up the bill. They will vaccinate pets every year and sell you all kinds of pesticides to put in or on your animal.

Holistic veterinarians practice a more Eastern thought in that the body is treated as an individual, and as a whole. While two different patients may present similar symptoms, their respective treatments may be quite dissimilar. In addition, holistic

veterinarian practice is centered on keeping the pet healthy overall to prevent issues from starting. When a chronic issue surfaces, holistic veterinarians are likely to look first to whole food diets, herbal supplements, nutraceuticals and complementary and alternative therapies such as chiropractic, homeopathy, acupuncture, essential oils and energy healing (Reiki). They do not overvaccinate nor do they recommend poisons oral or topical.

Diseases are seen as a natural course of life and not necessarily something to ‘solve.’

Moreover, health and disease are viewed as a natural rhythm of life and fully inter-related.

Holistic medicine is about finding the root cause of a problem and treating from there, not simply treating the symptom. Often, it’s not the “quick fix” Americans have come to expect. For instance, steroids will stop your dog from itching in a few hours but why is your dog itching in the first place? For sure, you’ll be back in three weeks for another shot when Doodle begins to dig at her belly.

A holistic vet works with the animals than rather than do battle against their disease symptoms. He’ll ask about food, lifestyle, reaction to stimuli (heat and cold, sound, dampness, etc.). He’ll ask about your dog’s spirit.

An integrative approach is one that combines conventional practice with holistic practice. These vets have a firm ground in traditional medicine, but recognize that holistic medicine is a valuable addition and, in some cases, be the best course of action. This type of veterinarian realizes that conventional and holistic medicine can complement one another. This is the kind of doc I look for.

I worked with and trained under many fine (and now famous) integrative vets in New England and was disheartened to learn that like “organic”, holistic hadn’t yet made

it to this area. However, I recently found Charlie Timmerman, DVM, member of the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) at the Aiken Veterinary Clinic.

Seven of my dog friends are now friends of Dr. Charlie. Four of those friends were sent home to die, one had chronic itches, one has heart disease and one a rare autoimmune disorder. The dogs sent home to die from various cancers have all had a drastic reduction in tumor size, they’re healthier than they have ever been (most likely), some have had ancillary ailments vanish along the way and all are doing well.

My itchy friend is in a one-year program to forever eradicate the cause of her “allergy”, a process that involves homeopathy, autosanguis treatment and a recently added clinical trial. None of the treatments involve synthetic pharmaceuticals and all included a drastic change of diet — healthy fresh foods and raw proteins. The owners of the death sentence dogs are delighted they have a few more years with their Best Friends. And, it’s all pretty easy and infinitely cheaper. It takes a little more time, but I’m willing to give time to the creatures I love.

As for Dr. Charlie, he’s in the office Mondays and Thursdays.

Sanford wins 1st Congressional seat Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was chosen by voters to fill the U.S. House of Representatives, District 1, seat in the special general election held Tuesday, May 7.

Unofficial results, with all five counties reporting, show the Republican Sanford at 54 percent

over his opponent Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch.

In Beaufort County, Sanford collected about 53 percent, with Colbert Busch at nearly 47 percent.

With all 80 precincts reporting, voter turnout was deemed high by election officials at 33 percent.

Sanford beat out 15 other

candidates in the primary to represent the Republican Party in his first return to politics since he resigned as governor in 2009. He previously served as the First Congressional District representative from 1995-2001.

Sanford grew up in Beaufort and his family still lives in the area.
