Rotary clubs sponsor stations along the Spanish Moss Trail The three Rotary Clubs of Beaufort recently added an important amenity on the Spanish Moss Trail by collaborating with the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail to sponsor and install pet-waste stations. “We hope this joint Rotary project will provide a model for others to support additional pet-waste stations and other important amenities and enhancements on the Spanish Moss Trail,” said Sissy Perryman, the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail’s Public Awareness and Development Consultant. “These stations provide an attractive and convenient solution for managing pet waste and help ensure an enjoyable experience on the trail for everyone.” The Rotary Clubs involved include the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry, Sea Island Rotary Club and the Beaufort Rotary Club. Under the leadership of Charlotte Gonzalez, President of the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry, the three clubs funded and installed five pet-waste stations on the trail. Their leadership inspired a sixth station sponsored by private

Port Royal to host port-related events The Town of Port Royal in conjunction with Leadership Beaufort Alumni Association and the Historic Port Royal Foundation will be hosting three back-to-back events related to the port property on Thursday, June 19. These events will provide opportunities to learn more about the port property’s history, current status, and future plans. All three events are free and open to the public. The first event will be a tour of the port property led by Town Councilman Joe Lee, which will depart from Union Church, 1004 11th Street,
at 4:30 p.m. Visitors will be able to access the property and get a behindthe-scenes look at the lay of the land and its relation to the water and the Old Village. The second event will be a meetand-greet reception at Union Church starting at 5:15 p.m. The Historic Port Royal Foundation has recently made updates and improvements to the Union Church’s historic collections. Attendees will be given a chance to view the artifacts and discuss them with foundation members. Light refreshments will be provided.
The third event will be a moderated panel discussion hosted by Leadership Beaufort Alumni Association at Union Church at 6 p.m. The four confirmed panelists include: • Ogden Lazenby, discussing the site before port operations • Scott Graber, discussing the relationship between the port and the Old Village • Joe Lee, discussing the period since the port closure • Pete Cotter, former port manager • Judy Alling, representing the Sell It Now campaign.
Beaufort County’s Capital Project Sales Tax Commission has chosen the projects that could appear on November’s ballot. During the commission’s June 4 meeting, the six members voted for 21 projects that will cost a little more than $221M. The commissioners also decided the 1 percent sales tax, if passed, will last eight years or until all $221M is collected, whichever occurs first. “This was a good process and one which all the commissioners took very seriously. I believe we chose a list of projects that take into account the health, wellness and safety of those living in and visiting Beaufort County,” said Commission Chairman Craig Forrest. Beaufort County Council must now vote for or against the list and
language. If they agree, the final list of projects and ballot language must be sent to the Beaufort County Board of Elections by August 15 to be placed on the November ballot. The final list of projects can be viewed at the Beaufort County’s website www. bcgov.net under the Capital Project Sales Tax Commission slider.

Trail
“For years, the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry has been involved in Adopt-A-Highway and when asked to get involved in the Spanish Moss Trail we didn’t hesitate,” said Gonzalez. “We have adopted the trail area between Riverside and Brotherhood and pick up the trash at least once a week for that portion of the trail. So when the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail approached us to help secure these pet-waste stations, we invited the Beaufort Rotary Club and Sea Island Rotary Club to work together for this important project in community.” Over the two days of installing the pet-waste stations, Gonzalez said they had about 25 different Rotary members along with their children and spouses pitch in along the trail. The cost of these six trail pet-waste stations was $1,300. The Rotary Clubs also purchased 6,000 extra replacement bags and a sign attached to each station indicating they were provided by the three local Rotary Clubs.

I remember ... when we used to sit
By Brittney Hiller
This weekend I spent some time watching Rafeal Nadal versus Novak Djokovic in the French Open. The massive amount of power these two tennis players show — athleticism, mental strength, and stamina — was beyond anything I could fathom. For more than three and a half hours they played consistently — back and forth with the tennis ball. Watching the emotion in their faces that partially portrayed physical fatigue and increasing pain, the question came to mind: How often do we pound away at ourselves without giving our body the rest it deserves? Are we constantly on the go? Are we lacking the ability to take a moment to sit, breathe, admire, and just be? I would like to invite you to try these few poses that require five minutes of your time. These poses will help you strengthen your mental state, but will also allow you to find the rest your body may need for this moment. DEEP BREATH MEDITATION Sit in a comfortable position, either on the floor with your legs crossed or seated in a chair with your feet planted on the floor. Place your hands on your abdomen. Begin to inhale through your nose. Exhale out through your mouth.

Deep breath meditation
As you take a couple rounds of breath, begin to slow your inhale and exhale down. For example, I often invite my students to begin to breathe in deep and count to four as they inhale. Try
Awaken to the B.E.S.T. in YOU!
this, then as you exhale count to six, continuing to slow down your breath. Often we breathe with a quick breath and omit ourselves from obtaining the full amount of oxygen we are capable of taking in. Sit and breathe deep for six rounds of breath — close your eyes to allow yourself to feel the rise and fall of your chest and lower abdomen. After you finish, sit for a moment and feel how your body has potentially changed in sensation. Perhaps you feel more at ease or less stressed. Notice how simple it was to sit and breath?
FULL BODY STRETCH While seated in a chair or lying on the floor, stretch your legs long in front of you and interlace your fingers. Press your palms up and over your head. Inhale deeply and stretch. As you exhale, press your shoulders down and away from your ears. Feel your entire body stretch from your fingers to your toes. Breathe in and out for six rounds of breath — on your last exhale lower your arms to your side. Sit for a moment to notice how you feel. As you take just five minutes to be with yourself each day, notice the benefits you receive — stress relief and a moment to be mindful and clear with yourself. We often walk around in a zombie-like state — full of thoughts, worries, “what-
Full Body Stretch
if ’s” — when instead we can be right here and present with our wonderful bodies. Yoga helps us to reacquaint ourselves with our actual being, our actual true selves. Nadal won his ninth French Open last weekend. I am certain he took a moment to reacquaint himself in thankfulness for his capable and powerful body. May you do the same for yours!

The Port Royal store will also feature Parker’s signature gourmet coffee bar with a selection of fresh milk and creams, fresh-brewed sweet tea and ice cold
lemonade. For fuel customers, in addition to Parker’s standard line of regular, mid-grade and premium fuels which include 10% ethanol , the new store will also offer diesel fuel and non-ethanol fuel — a favorite of boat owners. “Non-ethanol fuel increases the efficiency of boat motors and extends motor life,” according to Amy Lane, Parker’s Chief Operating Officer. The store parking lot design will provide marine customers towing boats with easy in and out access, she added. For the company’s adult customers, the store will feature Parker’s “Beer Cave” which offers a wideselection of domestic and imported beers; and an extensive line of e-cigarettes. Parker’s also guarantees its adult customers interested in tobacco products “the absolute lowest cigarette carton prices” in the area, according to Hofmann. The Parker Companies is a member of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, and will hold a ribbon-cutting sponsored by the chamber on June 18 to officially welcome the public.

Habitat’s High on the Hog was a ‘pig’ success By Lanier Laney
More than 1,200 happy people attended the Third Annual CBC National Bank High on The Hog BBQ Festival at Whitehall Plantation on Lady’s Island last weekend. Nearly double in size from previous years, the two-day event was a true family affair as multiple generations sampled barbecue from 26 top cook teams while listening to live music. Event organizer and LowCountry Habitat for Humanity board member Bob Albon said, “All the proceeds raised will help us continue to build affordable housing in Northern Beaufort County. We’ve built 41 so far and have two more currently under construction in the Pigeon Point section of Beaufort.” He added a big thank you to all the sponsors, large and small. “Every dollar raised
and donated is very important to our cause and we try to use it wisely. Without our volunteers we can’t pull off an event this size and they are so important for our success,” he said. The Grand Champion was No Pig Left Behind, Doug Quinn, from Goose Creek. Reserve Champion was Palmetto Smokehouse, a local pit master from Okatie. Other local teams that “got the call” were Smokin Sea Eagle (Melena Argetsinger and Craig Reeves), Gentlemen Porkers (Garrett Wreden, Patrick Mitchell, Chris Jones and team), Smokin Vets (Doug Hellams) and See’s Backyard BBQ from Walterboro was the winner of Friday night’s Lowcountry Fare. Big thanks go to all the hardworking volunteers, judges, sponsors, cook teams, and people who attended for making the event such a success. Here are some pics:

Most headaches are caused by a bad bite. If you’re ready to be through with headaches, it makes sense to check out whether your jaws and teeth are causing them. At the practice of Dr. Stephen Durham you’ll find people who listen, look and advise you with respect about your options. The Durham team is expert in treating the underlying cause of almost 92% of all recurring headaches – TMJ, a disorder of the jaw and the muscles around it.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community Bob Guinn and Ed Pappas of the Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program:
E
training tomorrow’s leaders today
ver since moving to the Lowcountry, both Bob Guinn and Ed Pappas have immersed themselves in volunteer activities. So much so, that they now head a program that gives residents an inside look about how the city and county work, as well as providing information about local nonprofit institutions so participants will know how best to apply their own volunteer interests and leadership skills. For the past 21 years, Clemson University Extension Service has sponsored the Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program. This program, dedicated to encouraging volunteerism and community involvement, seeks mentoring by existing leaders for its participants and is geared toward training tomorrow’s community leaders Thirty-five senior leadership participants spend one day a week involved with community leaders and local experts. Every Wednesday, from January to early April, the class meets at a topic-specific venue such as Penn Center, USCB, Parris Island, Honey Horn, and Town Hall, to name a few. A typical 12 week program involves over 100 speakers at over several dozen locations within Beaufort County. To date, more than 735 people have completed the program, and Beaufort is a better place because of it. Bob is director of the program and Ed could be described as the program’s Number 1 volunteer “extraordinaire.” For the past 16 years he has helped oversee planning, developing and implementing the next year’s program with other student graduates. He’s currently working on the 2015 class. Says Ed, “In June 1997, I retired after a 30 year corporate career, in a variety of capacities, with AT&T in Basking Ridge, NJ. And with my wife, Sandra Chavez

Ed Pappas and Bob Guinn
(who also worked at AT&T), we relocated in 1998 to Callawassie Island. “We immediately fell in love with the Lowcountry, the environment, the history, the culture. Living most of our adult lives in the Northeast, we thirsted for more information about the area. “In November 1998, we enrolled in Clemson Extension’s Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program which gave us in-depth knowledge and exposure to a diverse set of government, civic, social and nonprofit institutions in Beaufort County. Beaufort County Senior Leadership gave us more knowledge of Beaufort County in 12 weeks than we gained from living in our home county in New Jersey in 12 years.” After taking the program, both Ed and Sandra became involved with area nonprofits. Ed stayed on as a volunteer and currently chairs the Clemson University State Advisory Council, whose goal is to promote and support extension activities to favorably impact the quality of life of all South Carolina citizens. He also
became a volunteer with environmental organizations and issues, starting with Master Gardener and Master Naturalist programs and eventually becoming a board members on the Rural & Critical Lands Preservation Board, Port Royal Sound Foundation and Low Country Institute. His wife Sandra became equally involved: First as a volunteer with nonprofits, then as chairperson for the Lowcountry Human Development Center in Okatie and United Way of the Lowcountry. Knoxville, Tenn., native Bob Guinn is the lead agent for Beaufort, Jasper, and Colleton counties for Clemson University Extension. As an employee of Clemson, he is in charge of the many outreach programs and teaching efforts the extension conducts in the area. He also is the executive director of the State Extension Advisory Council. He met the love of his life, wife Karen, at the University of Tennessee, where he worked before coming to Clemson, in
1979. Karen is a retired math teacher, and they are proud of their two sons — Robert and Christopher — who graduated from Beaufort High School and are now at the College of Charleston and Clemson University, repesctively. Bob said, “In extension, we like to help people improve the quality of their lives.” To that end, he has conducted, supported, and taught leadership skills in over 65 leadership programs across the state in Beaufort, Jasper, Colleton, Lexington, Hampton, Allendale, Orangeburg and Bamberg counties. Bob was also vice-president for Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry for two years, a member of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce for many years, and president of the Lowcountry Wellness Organization for years. He enjoys sailboat racing and is currently outfitting a sailboat with the plan of exploring the Intracoastal Waterway. Says Ed,“In my 16 years with Beaufort County Senior Leadership, I have met an amazing and diverse number of persons who have gone on to share their life experiences and careers with the citizens of Beaufort County. I am humbled and enriched by having played a part of their continuing journey. I am grateful to Clemson University’s Cooperative Extension Service for introducing me to the opportunities for civic engagement; for inspiring me to ‘give back’ some of the richness of my life experiences and career so to positively contribute to the quality of life of South Carolina citizens.” for more information To sign up for next year’s Beaufort County Senior Leadership program, go to www.beaufortseniorleadership.com.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Bridges Prep students build green roof models Third graders at Bridges Preparatory School partnered with Kelli Franklin, a landscape architect in Beaufort, to teach students the importance of green roofs and the planning process behind them, which integrates math, engineering, design (new urbanism) and the environmental sciences. During Mrs. Franklin’s visit to Bridges, she taught students about landscape architecture and showed them examples of green roofs in our country. Students were able to look at real landscape architect plans as well, and learn about the benefits of good planning on
a STEM project. Following this exciting lesson, students had to create their own plan to build a green roof. After drawing their plans, students used shoe boxes, crafts, and soil to plant grass seed on the top of their shoe boxes. Each day students had to care for their green roofs and water them. They had some success and grass started growing on several roofs. To wrap things up, students created a presentation on green roofs and their benefits to the environment. Bridges students thoroughly enjoyed the project.
Bridges third graders display their green roof models.

What do you get for a dad who has everything? By Pamela Brownstein
I am faced with this dilemma every year: What do I get my husband, Daniel, for Father’s Day? I am a notoriously poor gift-giver. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s mostly that I am so last minute: By the time I think of something thoughtful and cool, it’s the day before and too late to find it or order it, and I usually give up in frustration. It’s in that moment of frustration I think, “In the past two years, I’ve given him two beautiful children, really, what more does he want?” But once I get past that flash of selfishness, I realize that the hardest part for me though is finding a gift that represents all that Daniel does for his children and his family. How can I find a gift that equals his patience and kindness and involvement? What item can express my love and gratitude for being understanding and funny, even when we are completely exhausted at the end of the day? Of course, I knew when we got married that Daniel would be a good dad. But this year has proven that he’s
not just a good dad, but a great father. With a 2-year-old boy and a 9-monthold girl, these are chaotic times in our house as we navigate through Babyland. With both of us working, things can get stressful when the baby gets fussy or our toddler throws a temper tantrum and won’t go to sleep in his big boy bed. Through it all, though, Daniel has shown me what it means to be a good parent in all the little things he does for the kids, especially for our son, Wolfe. He goes to great lengths to make sure that Wolfe has healthy, balanced meals and tries a variety of food. It’s such a sweet act to see Daniel cut a cucumber into little bites, and add just a dollop of ranch dressing to the plate. Then he watches proudly as Wolfe eats every bite. He also goes online and researches popular children’s books so when he goes to the library during his lunch hour at work he can pick out the best books to bring home to read with Wolfe. And even though he’s probably read “Curious George Makes Pancakes” more than 100 times, he still uses funny voices and reads it in bed with Wolfe when he asks.
With our daughter, Selah, even though I spend all day with her at home, as soon as her dad walks into the room, her fat little face lights up with a big smile — revealing her two little bottom teeth — and she can’t crawl to him fast enough. I’m also trying not to take it personally that her first word was “Da-da.” (OK, I get it. Mama’s on deadline and wishes Dada were home too, but you don’t see me saying his name every five minutes.) But even though I don’t say it enough, I couldn’t be more proud of Daniel or more grateful to have him in my life. I’ve watched him evolve from a father-to-be who had never even changed a diaper to a full-fledged, hands-on dad who doesn’t think twice about cleaning a dirty diaper and knows just the right combination of powder and Desitin to fight diaper rash. So this year, in addition to my unending love, I want to give him something special. And I think it will be exciting to see the look on his face when I reveal his gift. Surprise! Here’s the double jogging stroller you’ve always wanted!

The price of change: E.C. Montessori school closes By Jim Hicks
The announcement that E.C. Montessori will not open its doors for another school year is noted with a bit of sadness. The school has served as a key part of the Beaufort educational community for 40 years. According to their web site, the school was originally founded in 1973 by Mrs. Anne Christensen Pollitzer and a small group of concerned parents. The school was named Eleanor Christensen School after Mrs. Pollitzer’s mother who was a teacher. It originally served as a traditional elementary school but over the years transitioned into a Montessori curriculum, and in 1981 changed its name to E. C. Montessori. Located in the city of Beaufort, its student population reached the point of needing additional space at which time the school relocated to Lady’s Island. In the past, the education offered by E. C. Montessori School was unique
14
and parents desiring their children to be educated in a Montessori type of environment were attracted to the school. Over the last few years two things have occurred that added stress to all local private schools and to some degree public schools. The first is the movement toward charter schools, which are funded with tax dollars but allowed more flexibility in their operation than normal public schools. The second thing that has challenged private schools is the movement toward providing each public school a specific area of emphasis and through a magnet or school of choice program providing parents greater latitude as to which school their child attends. Specifically affecting E. C. Montessori is the fact that last year Beaufort Elementary School offered a Montessori curriculum for grades 1 through 3, and this coming year will extend the curriculum to grades 4 and
the island news | june 12-18, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com
5. Throughout the U.S. there are 100 public schools offering a Montessori style education and 17 of these are located in South Carolina. This fall, the Lowcountry Montessori School, a state chartered public school, will open its doors offering a Montessori style education for grades 1 through 9. As can be seen, parents desiring their child to attend a Montessori school are now faced with either paying for their child to attend a private school (E.C. Montessori) or attending a public school offering the same thing at no extra cost. It should come as no surprise that E.C. Montessori has been faced with tough choices as it saw its enrollment go from 135 students in 2010 to less than 50 students this year. The parents, educators and politicians who enthusiastically believe that charter schools are the answer to improving our schools are to be commended
for their efforts to offer alternatives to traditional public education. The Beaufort County School District is to be commended for taking the initiative and trying new concepts such as schools of choice, magnet schools and district sponsored charter schools (Riverview). Understanding that change is necessary in a fast-moving world and that we all are struggling to find the magic bullet in regard to educating today’s children, it is still sad to see an institution such as E.C. Montessori School fall victim to these tides of change. To Mrs. Anne Pollitzer and the many teachers and administrators who throughout the last 40 years have contributed so much through the E.C. Montessori School to the children of the Beaufort and Lady’s Island community — thank you. You made a difference. Jim Hicks is with the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association.

A traditional Southern Sunday Jazz Brunch will be held on Sunday, June 15, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., hosted by Rob and Lydia Mondavi of Folio Fine Wine Partners and featuring a farm-to-table style menu designed by Southern Living Magazine’s test kitchen

Memories & Secrets ... Of a Lowcountry Lady Alzheimer’s Family Services holds annual dinner theatre presentation
Ms. Kim Poovey, author and professional storyteller, will take the stage in character as Miss Emma Victoria Brown, to share stories of her life, loves, sorrows and childhood antics as she struggles to find her place in a world where women are expected to be proper and elegant. And don’t miss the drama as Miss Brown shares the family secret that could cost Emma and her family their very lives. Miss Emma Victoria Brown, the main character in Kim Poovey’s novel “Truer Words,” is a fact-based fictional character who grew up on a Lowcountry plantation in the mid 1800’s. Growing up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, a young girl has certain expectations— prim, proper, and passive. Emma Brown, however, is not like most girls. She swims in her Sunday dress, passes the days sitting in a tree, and refuses to fall in love. Like most girls, she has her best friend, Charlotte, throughout it all. But Charlotte might be what’s keeping her from living a life like the other girls her age. An encounter with Charlotte later in their lives describes their relationship: “ ‘You’re going to stand beside me at the wedding.’ Her expression quickly turned solemn and she let loose of my hands. ‘We’re not children anymore. We can’t ignore the reality of our situation. You know I can’t possibly stand next to you at the wedding. I’ll be lucky enough to watch from the upstairs window.’ ‘Nonsense! If you can’t stand next to me at my own wedding, then I just won’t get married!’”
Actress Kim Poovey will perform as Miss Emma Victoria Brown at the annual dinner theatre presentation to benefit Alzheimer’s Family Services.
It’s Alzheimer’s Family Services of Great Beaufort’s annual dinner theatre to be held Sunday, June 15 at The Shed in Port Royal. Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner stations open at 6:30 and the opening act at 7 p.m. Tickets are $60 in advance or $65 at the door. For tickets call 843-521-9190 or 843-263-2062. This year’s event starts with cocktail entertainment by Eu4ia, a Beaufort Harbormaster quartet that will play tunes from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. An opening act by Ms. Lynn Bristow will tell how ladies served as spies, for both the South and the North during the Civil War. These ladies were
able to hide documents in very clever ways to avoid detection. Ten different dinner stations with entrees donated by local restaurants — such as shrimp and grits from Emily’s Restaurant and gumbo from “We Island” Gumbo N’ Tings — will delight your appetite. A silent auction will offer such items as art from local artists, an original jewelry piece by Pinckney Simmons of Pinckney Simmons Gallery, and a reserved parking spot at the marina for the week of Water Festival. A live auction will offer the use of a mountain house for a week, a beach house and a certificate promising to make you a named character in Carl T Smith’s next novel. Carl T Smith, the author of “Lowcountry Boil,” sets his novels in and around Beaufort using local restaurants and other locations. Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort is a local nonprofit providing education, support and respite to area caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease. They offer an Early Memory Loss program, a Social Day program and an In-Home Respite program, all dedicated to caring for the caregiver. For more than 25 years, Alzheimer’s Family Services, a United Way of the Lowcountry service agency, has been providing these services to area caregivers who are probably as much a victim of the disease as the patient. For more information about the services they offer, visit www.afsgb.org. All proceeds from this event benefit Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort.
Ospreys drop home game to Goose Creek The Beaufort Ospreys suffered their first loss in the 2014 season earlier in the week, falling to visiting Goose Creek at Beaufort High School. Goose Creek used a two-out rally to battle back to edge Beaufort 13-12. Thriving at the plate late in the matchup, Christian Sillampa delivered an RBI-double to help lift Goose Creek to the win. On the mound, Goose Creek pitcher 16
Zac Owens earned the win. Owens registered four strikeouts in six innings of work. Beaufort pitcher Thomas Smith took the loss. Smith, who worked three innings, notched a trio of strikeouts in the setback. At the plate, Owens helped his pitching cause by going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Beaufort managed to outhit Goose

Creek 14-12 in the loss. Struggling defensively, Beaufort committed six errors. Beaufort, however, fared well at the plate throughout the contest. Offensively for the Ospreys, Rome Wallace went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBIs and two stolen bases. Carson Gregory finished 2-for-3 with two doubles while Jesse Sanborn went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs.
Live music will be provided by the Blue Mudd Funky Jazz Sextet as activities unfold. Guests will then be led to shaded seats in Habersham Marketplace for a full service brunch — Southern style. The menu will be created with care by Chef Robby Melvin, and will also feature bacon along with locally sourced ingredients to create Southern favorites for this fun and formal event. Sunday Brunch tickets are $60 per person. The event is hosted by the Habersham Marketplace and is produced by Plum Productions.

Enjoy a Penfolds Chardonnay from Australia By Celia Strong
It’s time to learn more and taste more with a new wine this week from Australia. It’s hard to believe that a new week has already arrived, but it is a pleasant thing to discover the where, what and winery of this new wine. I realize that we haven’t visited Australia in a while, but it will make for a fresh and interesting discussion. This country is the fourth largest wine exporter in the world with 750 million liters leaving the country, or 1 billion 750 ml bottles — and that’s after they drink 40 percent of their wines themselves. No matter how you look at it, there’s a lot of wine made down there. Wines are made in every state in Australia, with more than 60 wine regions. These are mostly located in the cooler, more southern, areas and include South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland. Like any other wine producing country, these different regions have different soils and climates and produce different wine styles. Most of the major grape varieties are grown here, with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc leading the pack. Most Australian wines are labeled by their grape variety, like other New World wine producers, with a minimum of the named variety being

85 percent. (In the United States, our minimum by federal law is 75 percent.) There is a huge amount of history and related information we could get into regarding Australian wines, as you can imagine. For the sake of time, it seems best if we just look at the area that our wine for this week comes from: Adelaide. Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and the fifth largest city in the country. It was founded in 1836 and named for Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the queen consort to King William IV. Before 1836, this area was inhabited by the indigenous Kaurna Aborigine nation. Not only is Adelaide a thriving modern city, now, it is in the center of the largest wine producing area in Australia. South Australia has 18 distinct wine regions. Besides Adelaide, there is Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plain, Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, and more. The National Wine Centre is in Adelaide also. Our winery for week, Penfolds, was

“You notice it the minute you walk in our lobby. You hear folks being called by their first name.”
Thomas Hyland Chardonnay from the Penfolds winery in Adelaide, Australia.
founded in Adelaide in 1844 by an English physician, Christopher Rawson Penfold. Christopher arrived in Australia when he was 24 years old and his wife, Mary, was 15. With help from family, they got 500 acres, the Magill Estate. In addition to planting the land, they built a cottage to live in, called The Grange. They used French grapevine cuttings that came from England. Their plan was to produce a wine tonic for the treatment of anaemia. Their first wines were port and sherry styles, mostly for Christopher’s parents. Increased demand was met by expanding and establishing Penfolds in 1844. In 1870, Mary had to take over most of the operations when her husband died. The business grew to over 60 acres, Mary added more varieties, and personally handled the blending of wines. The Penfolds’ daughter, Georgina, married Thomas Hyland. He tried to encourage Mary to sell the business, before she was ready to retire even, which resulted in a partnership with him in Melbourne and Mary in Adelaide. After Mary retired, Georgina and Thomas ran the winery, followed by their sons and daughters. Mary died in 1896, the winery went public in 1962, and the family had controlling interest until 1976. In 1903, Penfolds was the largest winery in Adelaide. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, they changed their focus
to making table wines. Max Shubert, the chief winemaker, went to Europe after World War II, to learn about sherry making, but ended up spending more time in Bordeaux. In the 1960’s, Penfolds introduced a series of red wines — Bin 389, Bin 707, Bin 28 and Bin 128 — all dry reds made from Shiraz and Cabernet. In addition, Shubert developed Grange Hermitage, later just called Grange, one of Australia’s best and most expensive reds. But we are trying a Penfolds white wine this week: The Thomas Hyland Chardonnay. This tier of Penfolds wines, which also includes a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Shiraz, takes advantage of the location in Adelaide and the cool climate that the grapes grow in there. This Chardonnay was first made in 2001. Over the years the style of the wine has become less oaky in order to highlight the varietal flavors that the cool climate grows. This wine is 100 percent Chardonnay, with over 90 percent of the grapes coming from the Adelaide Hills area. The grapes are gently pressed and the wine is matured in French oak barrels for six or seven months, about 30 percent of them new. This Chardonnay is minimally filtered. It has white peach flavors with citrus notes, and hints of pecan from the oak. It has a creamy texture with a crisp minerality and a long, lingering finish. There is just enough oak to make this wine complex, but the balanced acidity lifts the Chardonnay flavors up. Many wine writers describe this wine as tasting like a much more expensive Chardonnay. At Penfolds, this wine is recommended with salt and pepper scallops, Thai chicken salad, and spaghetti with olive oil — a list that seems to open many doors to many flavors including shellfish and seafood, fried and grilled, roast poultry, white sauces and cheeses. So, back here in the Lowcountry, you can cook up some local seafood and enjoy the summer evenings from the comfort of your own home, or backyard or dock, with glass filled with a chardonnay from Down Under. This wine is available at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island for $12.99. Enjoy.

lunch bunch Great food and atmosphere define the new restaurant in Habersham
THE SPAGHETTI CLUB
By Kim Harding
This week, The Lunch Bunch visited The Spaghetti Club in Habersham. The restaurant offers a delicious variety of pastas, Italian dishes and amazing desserts, and was recently voted favorite new restaurant in The Island News Favorites contest. Chef Paul decided to give each of us “tasting plates” that had four different entrees for us to sample. We had the meatball sliders, penne pasta with marinara sauce, cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce, and traditional spaghetti and meatballs. The Lunch Bunch, joined by guest Ginger Wareham, voted unanimously for the Cheese Ravioli with Alfredo Sauce as the favorite; it is a must-have! Dessert seemed impossible after a lunch of filling pastas, but Paul insisted that we each try a piece of the chocolate raspberry cake. I truly did not think that I could take another bite of food, but lo and behold, I ate the entire thing! Leo Gannon and Larry Naylor, owners of The Spaghetti Club, decided to give the space a unique look by building the bar out of salvaged antique heart pine boards from the 1850’s, and installing a brick wall behind the bar that was “painstakingly” made out of

bricks from a munitions factory in the South Carolina Upstate. With the bar as the focal point, the decor — along with the yummy food and energetic live, local music and entertainment on the weekends — creates a great atmosphere. The space is also home to The Coffee Stop, open everyday from 8-11 a.m.
The Spaghetti Club is located at 27 Market Street in Habersham Marketplace, Beaufort, SC. It is open for lunch Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and dinner every night except for Tuesday from 5 to 9 p.m. Call 843-4663663 to make a reservation or visit www. thespaghetticlub.com.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Heat kills dogs By Tracie Korol
The kind folks at the Beaufort County Shelter asked me to dedicate an article to the perils of a Lowcountry summer, dogs in cars and the terrible demise of our dog friends due to heatstroke. Recently, I was asked by a seemingly smart person, “It’s OK to leave my dog in the if I leave the A/C on, right?” No, it’s not OK to leave your dog unattended in a car in this county, ever. Ever. Not in the winter. Not under a tree with the windows cracked and not in an idling car with the air conditioning running. It’s against the law. The penalty? A fine of upwards onto $1,000 plus the shame of having done something really stupid to your Best Friend. Let’s talk about summer. Common sense check: if you’re hot, your dog is hot, too. If it’s too hot for you to sit in a car without air conditioning, it’s too hot for your dog. If it’s too hot for you to walk barefoot across a parking lot or the sand, it’s too hot for your dog to walk there, too. If you’re sweaty and thirsty, your dog is too. He’s wearing fur and he can’t sweat. The unattended dog-in-car is very common in Beaufort culture when seemingly caring people will leave their dog in the car while they do a bit of shopping or dining. People are fooling themselves if they believe that their dog is having a good time, along for the adventure. Even though your dog may enjoy a ride in the car, sitting in extreme heat anxiously awaiting your return is not fun at all, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. In another ten minutes, while

Even in the shade, and especially in humid conditions, dogs need to inhale air cooler than their normal body temperature of 100 degrees to be able to stay alive. Dogs confined in cars where the ambient temperature and humidity are above tolerable levels will begin to acquire heat from the environment faster than they can dissipate it. Overheated humans begin to sweat which evaporates and cools the skin dissipating heat buildup. Dogs, remember — furcovered — have very few sweat glands to begin with and can only dissipate excess body heat via panting. Movement of air over a moist tongue and airway surfaces increases evaporative cooling somewhat. However, panting actually generates heat

due to the muscle activity involved. Keep in mind that as a dog pants 100 percent humidity into his confined space, the ambient temperature and humidity of the car increases. It’s science. Signs of heat stroke are intense rapid panting, wide eyes, salivating, staggering and weakness. Advanced heat stroke victims will collapse and become unconscious. The gums will appear pale and dry. If heat stroke is suspected and you can take the animal’s temperature
rectally, any temperature above 106 degrees is dangerous. The longer the temperature remains at or above 106 degrees the more serious the situation. If you return to your car and find your dog seems to be highly agitated, wide-eyed and panting uncontrollably, start for the nearest animal hospital right away with the air conditioning going at full blast. Even if heroic measures are taken, he may die from massive intravascular clotting, hemorrhaging, cerebral edema and kidney failure. Really. Heat stroke is a dire emergency and one from which many pets do not recover. And it’s an ugly death. It occurs so quickly that your only response should be to get to the nearest animal hospital immediately — don’t even call first. Just GO! Short-faced (brachycephalic) breeds such as Boxers, Pekingese and Pugs and dogs with heavy coats are at greater risk for heat stroke than some other breeds. Also, age and physical condition (heart problems, obesity) lessens a dog’s efficiency in dissipating heat buildup in the body. All it takes to avoid this serious problem is diligence and common sense. No, it’s not OK to leave your dog in the car.

Parris Island Museum opens canoe display
Over 400 years ago, a group of Native Americans abandoned a hand made canoe, or perhaps the Spaniards scuttled it as they left the area. Regardless of how it came to be in the pluff mud off Parris Island, it was found by a local fisherman, extricated and put in storage for over a decade. Recently the project of restoring it was undertaken by Lynn Harris, PhD, assistant professor at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. After much hard work, the canoe will be on display at the Parris Island Museum. To celebrate the unveiling of the canoe exhibition, the Parris Island Museum and Historic Society and the Archaeology Society of South Carolina Beaufort Chapter are partnering to present a dutch treat luncheon and lecture in the Regimental Room at Traditions on Parris Island on Weds.

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.
