YMCA hosts Beaufort River Swim The Wardle Family YMCA’s 7th Annual Beaufort River Swim will be held Saturday, June 15, beginning at 8 a.m. The event is a three-mile open water swim beginning at the Port Royal Landing Marina and finishing at the boat ramp at the corner of the Downtown Marina, adjacent to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.
The River Swim is quickly becoming a Lowcountry tradition, with participants of all ages and levels: triathlete, recreational lap swimmers and competitive age group swimmers. Approximately $3,000 is raised annually for the Y’s Learn-to-Swim programs. YMCA Senior Program Director Rick Simonds hopes to continually increase
the success of this event. “The River Swim plays an integral role in helping people in our community learn to swim. We are surrounded by water in Beaufort County and it is imperative that children and adults alike have this life-saving skill.”

YMCA offers summer food program To ensure that fewer kids and teens go hungry this summer, the YMCA of Beaufort County is offering a free Summer Food Program during its summer camps, thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation and its site sponsor, Beaufort County Parks and Leisure Services. Combining food and fun, the program will provide nutritious meals and snacks, plus activities to keep kids’ minds and bodies active. The program runs June 10th through August 16th and is open to kids aged 18 and under. The YMCA of Beaufort County Summer Food Program is part of a national partnership between YMCA of the USA and the Walmart Foundation to address child hunger in communities. While more than 30 million children in low-income communities receive free or
reduced-cost meals during the school year, only 2.3 million of these same kids have access to free meals when school is out. The YMCA of Beaufort County will feed 480 children in Beaufort and Jasper counties. “In order for kids to maintain good health, they need proper nourishment as well as activities to keep their minds and bodies active,” said Kaylin Garst, Operations Director, YMCA of Beaufort County.“The YMCA’s Summer Food Program will help kids stay wellnourished, active and energized, and also provide some relief to families who need support in providing more food when school is out.” Healthy snacks and lunches will be served at all YMCA summer camp site locations which include the Wardle Family YMCA, Beaufort Elementary
School, Whale Branch Elementary School, Hardeeville Elementary School, and Ridgeland Elementary School. Summer Camp registrations are filling up. Those interested in registering should contact the YMCA at 843-522-9622. The Y is committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility and is working to ensure that all kids have access to meals, as well as healthy food options, so they can continue to be healthy and thrive when out of school. In partnership with the Walmart Foundation, the Y’s Summer Food Program is part of a year-round effort to fight child hunger. During the school year, the YMCA of Beaufort County will also serve healthy meals and snacks in its afterschool program to provide kids with nourishment and academic enrichment.
Lady’s Island Notes By Jim Hicks for LIBPA
Congratulations to Lady’s Island Teachers of the Year. Each year, in an effort to recognize some of the many amazing teachers in the Beaufort County public schools, the teachers in each school select a single teacher as their “Teacher of the Year.” Selected this year to represent Lady’s Island public schools are Estee Williams, Beaufort High; Melissa Pender, Coosa Elementary; Amy Trask, Lady’s Island Elementary; and Carolyn Dennis, Lady’s Island Middle. Congratulations to each of these professional educators.
As the school year nears completion LIBPA extends its appreciation to each and every teacher in Lady’s Island’s schools, both public and private, for your dedication to excellence, high standards, concern and compassion for the children of this community. Is There Another Postal Unit in Lady’s Island’s Future? Over the past few years the Lady’s Island community had enjoyed the availability of a contract postal unit being co-located with The Paper Company in the Food Lion Shopping Center. With the closing of the Paper Company, the contract
postal unit also closed. Mr. Rick Reed, Beaufort Postmaster, confirms that efforts by the Postal Service continue in an effort to find a business on Lady’s Island that will serve as the contract host for a postal unit. Local Lady’s Island businesses that have a serious interest in acting as the host for a contract postal unit are encouraged to call 904-858-6504. Thanks to the Postal Service and Postmaster Reed for providing the Lady’s Island community an opportunity to once again enjoy the convenience of an “on island” postal unit.

There is always more to learn By Martha O’Regan
I recently read a profound explanation by a 6-year-old boy as to why dogs live shorter lives than humans. He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.” So, I guess as long as someone is still alive, there must be more to learn. But to learn more, we first have to be willing to learn and then we have to be teachable. Recognizing that every person and every experience we encounter is part of our growth and development is a huge first step in our willingness to learn. Yes, even those folks and situations that rock our world or tweak our last nerve are our teachers. We all know folks who already know everything, or at least they proclaim they do. These are the folks who seem bored when someone else is sharing their latest nugget of information garnered from a book they read or seminar they attended. Or, chomping at the bit to “one up” what others are sharing before the other person even has a chance to finish theirs. They are the ones who say “I know” to just about anything anyone around them says. I suppose many of us have

likely fallen into one or more of these social pitfalls at some time in our lives but once observed in either ourselves or others’, created a willingness to learn a new way of sharing with others. Our conscious awareness to how we share with others allows us to truly listen and learn from each person and situation we encounter in our lives. I believe we each have a unique curriculum that we came to earth school to learn and we continue to create circumstances in our lives to learn from until we finally get the lesson. Sometimes it takes that sledge hammer experience to really get it, and once we do, there is usually another one around the corner. Becoming aware of our individual curriculum allows us to see each person and encounter as part of that course, creating clarity, and

Becoming aware of our individual curriculum allows us to see each person and encounter as part of that course. sometimes confusion, as we navigate our day to day. Some lessons are easier to grasp than others yet each one is a unique stepping stone in our evolution. For instance, pain and illness create their own curriculum as we learn to listen to our body’s request for more oxygen, better nourishment and hydration, or to move with more grace and ease. I am reminded by a story that a friend shared about his mother’s transition. The day before she left her earthly body, she shared with her son that the previous evening she had an opportunity to spend time with “the Divine” and learned three things. One was that the will to live was the strongest of all human desires, another is that every thought is a silent prayer and every prayer is received by the Divine, and finally, but most importantly, it really is all about love. Although she expressed some regret that she spent so much time in the material world
worrying about things that she couldn’t control, she was grateful to know she had loved deeply and had been loved by many, and to know that through it all, she was truly communicating her deepest thoughts, wishes and dreams to the One who mattered most. This gave her the peace she needed to move on to her next adventure. It seems to me that at this juncture, she must have learned all that she was supposed to and was free to go. So, what is your curriculum? What are you here in earthly school to become? Are you willing to learn and listen? Are you teachable? Pondering these questions moving forward will hopefully create a new awareness of each person or situation you encounter along with a curiosity about how it fits into the grand scheme of learning how to live the good life. So, here’s to loving others and being nice! Live Well ... Have Fun!
Tired of being tired? Sleep, breathe and live better By Dr. Jennifer Wallace
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndromes afflict various age groups. Approximately 17-20% of adults have OSA, or 15 million Americans, and 90% goes undiagnosed. OSA is reported to be more prevalent in middle-aged men (24%) compared with women (9%) in the United States between the ages of 30 and 60 years, but the true prevalence may be higher. These patients can also suffer from hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and obesity-metabolic syndrome. Daytime sleepiness is the most common complaint among patients with OSA. Patients may notice difficulty with attention, concentration, memory, judgment, erectile dysfunction and impaired performance of tasks requiring dexterity. Nocturnal symptoms in OSA include loud snoring with brief gasps alternating with episodes of silence lasting from 20 to 30 seconds occurs frequently. Spouses report apnea episodes terminated by gasps,
choking sounds, snorts, vocalizations, or brief awakenings. Restlessness manifested as tossing and turning, probably caused by increased respiratory effort related to upper airway obstruction, has been described in about half of the patients. Other symptoms can be sensation of choking interrupting sleep, esophageal reflux; dryness of the mouth and drooling. Treatment for symptomatic OSA syndromes is influenced by the severity of sleep apnea. CPAP therapy can be used for all categories of OSA and represents the first line of therapy for moderate to severe OSA. Compliance is the key to any OSA treatment. CPAP patients often complain of noise, partner intolerance, inconvenience, as well as : mask problems (leaking mask, mask rubbing, skin rash or abrasion, conjunctivitis); side effects (nasal congestion, sinus discomfort, claustrophobia, difficulty exhaling, and incomplete resolution of symptoms (frequent awakening, persistent fatigue or sleepiness).
For mild forms of OSA, nonsurgical options include weight loss; avoidance of sleep deprivation, alcohol, nicotine, and sedatives; body positional therapy (pillows to avoid sleeping in the supine position); and Oral Dental Appliances. Oral appliances, also called dental appliances or devices are useful for mild OSA and for patients with moderate or severe OSA who are unable or unwilling to tolerate CPAP and who have failed surgery or are not surgical candidates. Oral appliances work by increasing airway space, providing a stable anterior position of the mandible, and advancing the tongue or soft palate. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends dental devices for patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea who are not appropriate candidates for CPAP or who have not been helped by it. (CPAP should be used for patients with severe sleep apnea whenever possible.) Dr. Wallace can be reached at 843-524-7645.

Pull the pit of your belly in and up, connecting your core to your spine. Draw your shoulder blades back and press them in to your body. From this place of being centered, set your focus and create a steady gaze. Keep this integration and slowly open your right knee towards the right side of the room, then bravely look to your left.

NOW It’s Your Turn for Relief! NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!
Do You Suffer From THESE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY?
That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.
• • • • • • •
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY?
$500 Can Be Yours!!!
Neuropathy has many different causes. The most common metabolic cause that we see in our office is in patients with diabetes. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy. As if the pain, numbness, swelling, burning, tingling, sleepless nights, balance issues, along with all the other symptoms that go along with neuropathy aren’t bad enough, approximately 86,000 Americans each year undergo amputations as a result of uncontrolled neuropathy.

Why is da Vinci single incision gallbladder surgery better?
Jenny Brown can tell you. When facing a highly invasive option, she looked to Beaufort Memorial for a better answer. She found a surgeon trained in next-generation da Vinci Si robotic technology who could remove the gallbladder through a one-inch incision in her belly button, as opposed to four traditional incisions. With virtually no scar and a quick recovery, Jenny is back on her feet–and in step with her best friend.

indie film corner: ‘from up on poppy hill’ The animated movie “From Up on Poppy Hill” will be presented at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, June 17 at 7 p.m. The movie is directed by Goro Miyazaki and stars the voices of Jamie Lee Curtis, Christina Hendricks, Ron Howard, Aubrey Plaza, Gillian Anderson, Beau Bridges, Bruce Dern and Chris Noth in English. Synopsis: From the legendary Studio Ghibli (“Spirited Away,” “My Neighbor Totoro”) comes an inspired coming-of-age story set in 1960s Japan. In a lovingly hand-drawn tale, two students develop a budding romance as they join forces to save their high school’s ramshackle
clubhouse from demolition. Japan’s biggest box-office hit of the year and winner of the Japan Academy Prize for Animation, “From Up On Poppy Hill” conjures up a pure, wistful and nuanced evocation of the past and young love through its rich palette and painterly detail of glistening harbors, sun-drenched gardens and bustling cityscapes. This cartoon is not rated and is 1 hour, 31 minutes long. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

ARTworks is located in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary St. BAA Membership Drive: 1962 was the Quadricentennial (400 years) of the landing of Jean Ribaut with a group of Huguenots on what is now Parris Island. A committee called the Prologue to Freedom was formed to celebrate this event during March of 1962 in Beaufort. The group called out to artists to create oil paintings that would reflect this great event in our local history. The late Catherine Wolfe’s oil painting was a winning entry. It depicts the landing with numerous French crests surrounding the scene. The original now hangs in Beaufort City Hall; 1,000 prints were made of the original painting and only 100 survive today. Mrs. Wolfe was a founder and past-president of Beaufort Art Association. Now, 51 years later, Beaufort Art Association is offering these reproductions of Catherine Wolfe’s painting to the public during our 2013 membership drive. Any new member will receive one of the few remaining prints in existence. Please contact Beaufort Art Association for more information 843-521-4444 www. beaufortartassociation.com.

Five star artists on exhibit at USCB “5 Star Artists” is the newest exhibit to grace the halls of USCB Center for the Arts, which will run from June 21 through August 21. Curator Joan Temper has chosen five diverse artists to put together an exhibit that transcends the traditional. All the artists are local, living and working in Beaufort. Some are young and filled with exuberant enthusiasm for their art and others have been perfecting their craft for decades. Yet all can claim “star” quality. Josh Ferguson, at 29 years old, is the youngest emerging star. His work is a showcase of landscape photography originating in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, expanding across America and even stretching across the Atlantic to the European Continent. Josh has been exhibiting this past year at Beaufort Art Association and received an acceptance into their 2013 Spring Exhibit Juried Show. When not honing his photographic skills, Josh is an athletic trainer at Beaufort High and Carolina Sportscare. Jeremy Way is another emerging star but is fast becoming known in the Beaufort area for his surrealistic oil paintings with unique style. His work has the appeal of the Dutch masters with dream imagery in the most visually unusual way possible. His easily-recognizable style captures the attention of his viewers. Precision, patience and artistic skill are evident in every piece. Jeremy, who is just in his mid 30’s, has been developing his art for the last 20 years. As a young boy he was fortunate to attend many gifted student art programs in Beaufort and Savannah. He received a BFA from the prestigious Manhattan School of Visual Arts. www.jeremyway.com Sebastian Polanski, is the Third Star Artist. A relative newcomer to the Beaufort art scene, his recent solo exhibit “VISTA”, at Beaufort Art Association received rave reviews. Sebastian’s art explores the beauty within the framework of every day views. Born in Boleslawiec, Poland, he came to the U.S. as a teenager. A dozen years later, this SCAD graduate has his own architectural design firm, InHaus, in Beaufort and finds inspiration for his works rooted in the structure of a scene. Captivated by buildings, boats, water and infrastructure elements in general, Sebastian has selected this collection of works to showcase his affinity for beauty in the simple things in life. www.sebastianpolanski.com Eric Horan, the Fourth Star Artist, is a name synonymous with nature

photography in the Lowcountry. After receiving his degree in Commercial Photography from Colorado Mountain College, he began his career photographing wildlife for the Colorado Fish, Game and Parks Department. His images documented activity of the park’s inhabitants from big horn sheep, elk and coyote to bullfrogs, and unleashed his passion for the outdoors. This remains central to his work today. Currently he offers photo tours and workshops for photographers, exploring nature wildlife sanctuaries by land and sea. He can often be seen on television cohosting Wild Photo Adventures on PBS. Eric’s art has been published in Southern Living, National Geographic books, Newsweek and the cover of Smithsonian magazine. His images continue to be selected for commercial use. www.horanphoto.com Sandy Dimke, the Fifth Star Artist is also a recognized name in Beaufort photographic circles. Sandy had been photographing for more than 30 years and uses her lifelong skills to mentor novice photographers. Her awardwinning photographs have been
accepted in over a dozen juried shows around the country and most recently in the Piccolo Spoleto Festival’s art exhibition. Her book and exhibit, “Hands Across the Lowcountry,” underwritten by the Beaufort ThreeCentury Foundation, brought her into public attention in 2011. Her current exhibit at USCB focuses on an entirely different topic. In January, Sandy had the privilege of participating in a government authorized photographic journey to Cuba. She and 13 others worked with Cuban photographers who took the Americans behind the scenes of everyday Cuban life. Her Cuba Collection will be the focus of this exhibition. To complement this exhibit, Sandy will also be presenting “Experiencing Cuba” at the Beaufort Library on Tuesday, June 25 at 5:30 p.m. She will not only show beautiful images of her trip to Cuba, but will also explain the recent history of the island, the economics and what the future has in store. www.DimkePhotoArt.com. A meet the artists opening reception will be Friday, June 21 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. with light refreshments. Public is invited.

Track star performs at championships Kaila Smith graduated in the Beaufort High School Class of 2013, as the 2013 4A 400M hurdles State Champion, and is also ranked #4 in the U.S. among high school girls in the 400M hurdles. From May 24-26, Kaila performed at the Central American Championships in San Jose, Costa Rica. Many people and organizations in Beaufort helped her to raise funds to be able to attend the championships via Panama. Kaila’s grandmother, Jannie Smith of Beaufort’s “Jannie’s Bread,” was essential to her money raising efforts through selling
raffle tickets at the local Farmers Markets where she sells her baked goods, and for getting donations from her church, Grace AME. Kaila competed on all three days in 11 events total in the Femenino Juvenil A category. She came in first in the 100M hurdles, setting a PR and Central American Jr Record. She also came in first in the 400M hurdles and the 4x100, setting two Central American Jr Records. She came in first in the 4x400, as well as in the Heptathlon, and it was the first time ever competing in this
event. She was named the MVP in the Girls 18-19 age group, according to her father and coach, Kenneth V. Smith, a Beaufort High School graduate himself. Kaila plans to attend Coastal Carolina University in the fall, but during the summer her schedule looks like this: • June 14-16: 2013 New Balance Outdoor Nationals • June 20-23: 2013 USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships • July 22-28: 2013 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.
Whale Branch graduating seniors earn high school and college diplomas through TCL partnership Two Whale Branch Early College High School seniors who will receive their high school diplomas Friday night have already completed their first two years of college. James Michael Lucero Nito and Anne’sea Raegene Simmons took full advantage of a partnership with the Technical College of the Lowcountry that allows Whale Branch students to take college courses – and earn twoyear associates degrees – while still in high school. That represents a two-year head-start as they begin work toward a Bachelor’s degree or enter the workforce. Nito, valedictorian of Whale Branch’s Class of 2013, will attend Winthrop University on two scholarships to study computer programming. At the high school,
he is a member of the National Honor Society, a Student Ambassador, student tutor and community service volunteer. Simmons plans to attend Coastal Carolina University on multiple scholarships and with a career goal of becoming a pharmacist. She is also a member of the National Honor Society, a member of the varsity volleyball team, a Student Ambassador and community service volunteer. Nito and Simmons were both recognized at recent TCL ceremonies as associate’s degree candidates in Arts and Science. In addition, four other Whale Branch seniors were recognized for completing significant college-level coursework at TCL: Kimberley Nicole
Elliott (General Education Certificate and Liberal Arts Core Certificate), Xavier Laron Green-Pope (General Education Certificate), Trey Dion Nelson (Liberal Arts Core Certificate) and Madison Terann Summerill (General Education Certificate and Liberal Arts Core Certificate). “It’s difficult to overstate the value of the Whale Branch-TCL partnership,” said Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm. “For students, it’s an opportunity to accelerate their learning and earn college credits in high school. And for students and their parents, the big thing is earning those college credits without having to pay for them, in effect shortening the amount of time spent in college and saving a great deal of money.”

The tradition was initiated in 1969 when the BA Board of Directors’ wives hosted a tea for the women of the first graduating class. The special tea was their way of honoring these young women by sharing with them the southern tradition of gracious entertaining. In 1973, the Junior Class in conjunction with the Parents’ Association took over the event and continues to carry on the tradition to the present day.

Local AMES Academy student contributes to the National Young Scholars Program This summer, high-achieving elementary school student, Andalú Blanc Johnson, from Beaufort Elementary’s AMES Academy, will take part in the National Young Scholars Program (NYSP). Held on campuses across the country, NYSP inspires outstanding third, fourth and fifth grade students to explore, invent, learn, and think creatively. Andalú was one of only three third graders nominated by Ms. Dorinda Selby, his math and science teacher and AMES coordinator at Beaufort
Elementary. His parents, both educators, saw this as a great opportunity for Andalú to look at his own education as a self-driven process of discovery. At NYSP, students choose a specific area of study such as engineering, forensic science, or medicine. In addition to these Discovery Strands, all students participate in a Leadership Strand. Throughout the program, young scholars engage in challenging coursework, gain a greater sense of independence, and experience a renaissance of learning. The program culminates with student-
created projects tying leadership skills to the discoveries made in their specific area of study. Activities such as solving a “whodunit” activity through work in a Andalu Blanc model forensics lab Johnson is just one of the highlights of the innovative curriculum. Simulation activities and role-play encourage scholars to develop their leadership skills, while introducing
them to the concepts of team-building, problem-solving, public speaking and goal-setting. “NYSP taps into the natural curiosity that students at this young age already have,” said Dr. Marguerite C. Regan, Dean of Academic Affairs for the Program. NYSP is created by highly successful practitioners in the field of elementary education who boast more than 25 years of successful education experience.

If you wear dentures you’re probably putting up with a fit that’s just “good enough.” Careful when you smile. Maybe avoiding that ear of corn in the Lowcountry boil. Lots of us do that. And lots of us don’t know that the way our dentures fit might be behind our “tension” headaches. Pain in the neck and shoulders, tenderness in the face or around the ear, clicking or popping when you speak or chew, a tired feeling in the face.
Dr. Stephen Durham is trained and certified especially for relieving these discomforts and distractions for people who wear dentures. You can do a lot better. Just call the office of
Dr. Stephen Durham and come in for an easy talk. You’ll find a place and a team that you’re comfortable with, right away. And together we can help you put an end to denture discomfort and take your place in a happier, more comfortable life.

Happy Father’s Day to the best dads around By Pamela Brownstein
I realized early on in my dating life that I was in trouble: It was going be hard to find someone as great as my dad. He set the bar high for me with his kindness and love and the sacrifices he made to ensure his family had all the things he didn’t have when he was growing up. For more than 20 years, his commute to work was more than an hour each way from our home in the New Jersey suburbs to his office in New York City. But he never came home disgruntled or distant; we always ate dinner together as a family and after “Jeopardy,” (which he always knows the answers) he would help us with our homework. At a time when many of my friends’ parents were going through divorces, my mom and dad’s relationship was solid and special. He always made her laugh and supported her choices. He was the strong, silent match to her social,

outgoing personality, and for a long time I never thought I would have what they had. But by some miraculous Divine intervention, I managed to find a man who embodied many of the qualities I admire in my dad — a subtle sense of humor, intelligence, patience and loyalty — without being too much like him. I have been fortunate enough to watch my husband Daniel grow from an easy going reporter to a loving partner to a devoted Da-da to our 17-month-old toddler, Wolfe. It’s hard to describe how supportive and involved Daniel has become in his son’s life. He takes the early shift and wakes up with Wolfe almost
every morning — which is a big deal for someone who can sleep until 11. He lovingly makes Wolfe’s dinner on nights that I’m working, being careful to include a variety of healthy choices. And most recently, he is taking Wolfe to baby swim class (no easy task considering the little guy likes the water about as much as a cat). Daniel never complains about his duties, and even after a long day at work, and with grad school homework waiting, he always takes the time to read books to Wolfe before bed and to tuck him in at night. * After my mom died in 2010, my relationship with my dad changed, for the better. It took a long time for me to get past my own grief to realize how much my dad lost — his best friend and confidante — and that I might not agree with his way of doing things, but he’s doing the best he can. Although he misses my mom, he’s
not alone because my grown sister still lives at home with her 10-year-old son. At 65, my dad hardly has the life of a retiree, and I have more respect for him because he takes care of their daily needs, and also helps my 88-year-old grandma, who lives in an independent living home in the same town. Still, with all that on his plate, he always makes time to talk to me whenever I call. His relationship with Wolfe will melt anyone’s heart; even though we live far away, we Facetime at least once a week and Wolfe always smiles and gets excited when he sees his Grandpa Tex. This Father’s Day, I want to thank my dad for giving me so much and showing me what it means to put family first. And I want to thank my husband for all of his love and support and for reminding me daily that I couldn’t have asked for a better father for my children. I am blessed to have them both in my life.

wine
Not your everyday chardonnay By Celia Strong
This week’s wine is not your everyday chardonnay, but, maybe it could and should be. As soon as we go through our learning steps, you’ll understand why. That means we have to get into our “traveling” mode, or, more accurately, pick up our traveling glasses. Wine glasses, you know. We’re in France this week for one of their great grapes — Chardonnay. This variety is the white grape of the Burgundy region, where it makes some of the best and most expensive white wines in the world. Chardonnay is considered to be a fairly neutral grape, easily influenced by the exact type of soil it is grown in and whatever fermentation style and barrel treatments are used in its wine making. The whole mystique of white Burgundies reflects this. But, none of these are our wine for this week. Burgundy is not the region for our wine, either, but it will come back into our discussion in a bit. So hang on. An area called Ardèche (ar desh) is the growing spot for our Chardonnay. This area is in south central France, named for the Ardèche River. Humans have lived here since at least the Upper Paleolithic Age. The Ardèche River is the largest canyon in France, and there are caves all along it, in the cliffs that form the canyon, that are full of ancient drawings and relics of flint knives and arrowheads. This area is also called Vivarais, named for the coat-of-arms from Viviers which was the ancient capital city here of one of the Gaul tribes. The history of the area was tumultuous over the years until the early 10th century when economic stability saw the building of many Romanesque churches. The medieval county of Viviers, Vivarais, was part of the Kingdom of Arles that was formed in 933, by Rudolph II of Burgundy. Rudolph III bequeathed the Kingdom to the Holy Roman Emperor in 1032, and, from this point on, the church played an important part in the development of the area. The French crown gained control of Viviers in 1229. In 1305, Phillip IV of France made the bishops of Vivarais accept the sovereignty of the Kings of France over their temporal

domain. And, in 1308, the area was granted to France. For years, the conflict between Catholics and Protestants continued in the Vivarais. It was only after the French Revolution that the Protestants here were recognized as citizens. Economically, industrially and socially, the area has never quite found its peak. In 1861, the population was at its highest ever, 388,500. But, geographically, the Viarais has one particular strength — the soil and climate that can grow good Chardonnay grapes. There are five natural regions. The mountains to the west, where the Loire River has its source. The plateaus with green forested crests and milder weather with summer rains. Third, the Bas-Vivarais where the Ardèche River flows as far as the Rhône River. Here, the climate is warm and drier, almost a Mediterranean climate, and the soil is calcareous limestone. (Sounds like Chardonnay country to me!) Then, the plateau of the Coirons, with its extreme climate, including snow, and rich fertile soil for growing wheat, oats and potatoes, and raising goats and beef. And, finally, the valley of the Rhône. And, yes, there are vineyards here, but we have to stay with our Ardèche wines, so the Rhône will have to wait for another visit. In 1979, our producer for this week’s wine started growing Chardonnay vines in the clay and limestone-based soil of the Ardèche. Domaine Louis Latour is one of the biggest and best producers of wines in Burgundy. (Told you we’d get back to Burgundy for a bit.) This is, and has always been, a family run company since it was founded in 1797. Currently, the seventh Louis Latour is its manager. But, there are over 200 years of Latour history as wine growers, all with integrity, tradition and innovation. Domaine Latour has the largest Grand Cru (the

highest legal level for Burgundy wines, red and white) property in the Côte d’Or with more than 71 and a half acres. In total, they now own about 125 acres of vineyards. They are based in the town of Aloxe, at Chateau Grancey. Their winery was built here in 1834, the first building built in France with the intention of it being a winery. The winery is known for its great ingenuity — five levels which means gravity can be used to help in crushing the grapes gently and running the juice into its tanks. Latour wines are handled very carefully, with the climate and terroir specific to each growing site being evident in each wine. Their
winemaker believes that 80 percent of a finished wine’s quality is the result of what is done in the vineyards. So, Latour was the first Burgundy producer of their stature to go outside the official Burgundy area, into lesser ranked soil so the wines could not be called Burgundy. In fact, some of the original Chardonnay rootstock that the company planted in the Ardèche area was from their Grand Cru vineyards in Corton-Charlemagne. Because of the soil and climate in the Ardèche, Domaine Latour thought the area was well suited to grow high quality Chardonnay. When they harvest these grapes, only the ripest grapes are used. (The Chardonnay wines that Latour made from Ardèche grapes were so successful, they subsequently went into the nearby Var area and did the same thing with Pinot Noir. Excellent wines, just not officially red Burgundies.) There are two Latour Ardèche Chardonnays. Ardèche and Grande Ardèche. The latter is not our wine this week, but worth tasting. And, maybe one week it will be our wine. It is a bit more barrel aged, in barrels from Latour’s own cooperage, so a bit fuller bodied. The Latour Ardèche Chardonnay, our wine, comes from vines that are an average of 25 years old. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for about 10 months, also in stainless steel. That makes it a no-oak Chardonnay. But, thanks to a complete, 100 percent malolactic fermentation (remember, this changes the wine’s acidity from crisper apple acid to softer milk acid) this Chardonnay is nice and smooth in our mouths. No zingy acidity like some nooak Chards. Its nose has hints of white flowers and perfume, with apples, lemon zest and herbs. The flavors stretch out the aromas, with the smooth texture of this wine, into a long finish. Delicious! And, now for a piece of special news. The Latour Ardèche Chardonnay comes in a large, liter and a half size bottle. A double, literally. Usually this large bottle costs us $19.99. But, not this week. For as long as it lasts, try some for $15.97! Not your everyday Chardonnay? Not yet, anyhow. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
By Tracie Korol
When a treat is really a treat
To our dogs, food is love — and security, affirmation, and reinforcement. When we give our dogs what I call “highvalue” treats — foods that are especially sweet, meaty, and yummy-smelly — the message we want to deliver transports to them through the treat especially loud and clear. From a trainer’s viewpoint I am ever appreciative of the ability of yummies to “classically condition” a dog to tolerate, and then even enjoy, circumstances that he previously found unsettling, frightening or threatening. It’s good to reward our dogs for a job well done. Plus it’s fun for us to feed our dog friends something they’re crazy about. The down side is that treats are probably the most likely of all dog-related items that we buy impulsively because the labels are so cute and the names are so clever. We don’t even think to glance at the ingredients. I would hope by now, faithful readers, that you routinely flip over the dog food bags to read the ingredient list, ever searching for the very best product. It would be counter-productive to spend time and energy finding (or making) the best healthy food for your dog if you’re going to trash your own efforts at health building with low-quality, additive-filled junk food treats. Read the label. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find treats for your best friend that do not contain stuff that is not good for him such as artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Your other mission is to also avoid treats that are bad for the planet in general. Recently, it has come to

light that meat from North Atlantic fin whales is being sold by Iceland to Japan to be used in pet treats. The Environmental Investigation Agency is accusing the country’s government of breaching a global moratorium on whale hunting, calling the inclusion of the whale species in specialty dog foods in Japan “grotesque.” Healthy treats do not contain: Whales Artificial colors: Dogs are somewhat aesthetically challenged: they don’t care whether their food is brown or blue. Artificial colors are absolutely unnecessary. Artificial or low-quality palatability enhancers: Avoid treats that use salt as a flavor-enhancer as well as treats that contain corn syrup, sucrose or ammoniated glycyrrhizin (a licorice derivative) and artificial flavorings like barbecue or smoke flavor. Dogs are not as swayed as we are by the mysteries of barbecue and hickory.

“natural bacon-y” texture of some doggy treats and the reason why, if you left a bacon-treat on the dashboard of your car it would still be “bacon-y” pliable a year later. BHA and BHT are also used to preserve carpet. The FDA (U.S Food and Drug Administration) regulates ethoxyquin as a pesticide and prohibits its use in human foods. However, it continues to be used in pet foods. Propylene glycol is such a uniquely nasty chemical preservative that it requires it’s own call-out. It is used in pet snacks (and some human foods) to keep them moist and chewy, and to prevent discoloration in preserved meats. It’s also used as the main ingredient in deodorant sticks, tattoo ink, and is used in newer automotive antifreezes and de-icers used at airports. An interesting use for
this chemical is to create artificial smoke for theatrical productions and training exercises for firefighters. Healthy treats contain: Whole-food ingredients: This means whole grains rather than grain “fractions” — wheat rather than wheat flour, wheat bran or wheat starch. Look for whole, named meats or meat meals — chicken, chicken meal — rather than by-products, unnamed sources (“animal” protein) or fragments. By-products and fragments of what animal would be my first question. Natural preservatives: Vitamins C and E (the latter is often listed as “mixed tocopherols”) are effective and safe preservatives. Some treats contain no preservatives at all. Applesauce, Natural sweeteners: molasses or honeys are better than artificial sweeteners, by far. While dog food should not contain added sweeteners, a treat should still be a treat. A treat for your dog should be a treat from all angles. Tasty, occasional, a little out of the ordinary and fun. Try this — next time you eat a carton of yogurt, let your dog lick out the container. That’s a real treat!
