boundary street improvement project
Groups agree to bury utility lines Beaufort city leaders, Hargray Communications and CenturyLink reached agreement this week to bury utility lines as part of the Boundary Street Improvement Project, joining SCE&G in the effort to beautify and make safer this important entrance to
historic Beaufort. All parties agreed it is in the best interest of the city, residents, the community, and Hargray and CenturyLink customers. “Together, we all agree that this is the right thing for the utility companies and the city to do,” Beaufort Mayor
Billy Keyserling said. “We have a lot of construction ahead of us, but we are going to have a safer entrance to Beaufort. Putting these utility lines underground is a huge step forward.” LINES continued on page 2

Public advisory: Beware of phone scam The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office wants to make the public aware of several phone scams being used in the area. The callers will portray themselves as law enforcement officials, then ask the victim to obtain a Green Dot card to pay a fine for various reasons. The victim may be told they have missed jury duty and there is a warrant for their arrest that will be served unless they can obtain a Green Dot card. Once they have obtained the
card they are told to call back with the pin number. Another scam is to ask victims to cover the jail bond for a family member that has been arrested in another county or state. Most recently some victims have been told a family member did not pay all the taxes they owed and again would go to jail if a fee was not paid to the caller. These types of scams are occurring throughout the country and the FBI
has additional information listed on their web site at www.fbi.gov/scamssafety. If you receive a call of this nature, where you are asked to obtain a Green Dot card for a large amount of money, please contact Law Enforcement within your jurisdiction. Call Beaufort County Dispatch at 843-524-2777 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (1-888-274-6372) or text: TIPSC to CRIMES (274637) or visit www.sccrimestoppers.com.

news briefs Make your voice heard by completing survey As the Joint Land Use Studies, which are evaluating current and future land uses on and in proximity to each of the Marine Corps bases, continue, the consultants need to obtain as much information as possible from area residents. There will be additional meetings in late August, as well as Technical and Policy Committee meetings which are open to the public, but the study team has also developed a short survey to determine how people perceive and feel about Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and the impact of those facilities on the community. The survey is available online, and can be completed in a short time. The link to it is: https://www.surveymonkey. com/s/LowcountryJLUS There will also be paper copies of it available in the Beaufort County Library downtown and at the Lobeco Branch. The deadline is July 31.

Sheriff ’s Office investigates robbery
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the Saturday, June 14 armed robbery of a St. Helena Island store. Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the Tienda Mexicana La Moreliana (802 Sea Island Parkway) at 9 a.m. last Saturday morning in reference to an armed robbery occurring moments earlier. Upon arrival, deputies met with an employee who advised that the store had been robbed by two unknown black males, one of whom was armed with a handgun.
Carolina and Georgia. “The agreement was achieved despite extraordinary time constraints and without imposition of any special charge or fee to CenturyLink’s valued customers in Beaufort,” she said. Building a better Beaufort is the goal of a $30 million investment in Boundary Street to create a safer and more scenic entry to the city, provide better commercial and retail locations, and improve traffic conditions. The project includes realigning the intersection of SC 170 and US 21 and is expected to last about three years. The Boundary Street Corridor work is part of a larger effort to reconfigure Beaufort from near the Marine Corps Air Station to annexed areas of Lady’s Island, creating a unified and connected neighborhood designed for people, not just cars. Underground utilities not only improve the appearance of an area, but also are safer for motorists and are less likely to be damaged during hurricanes, thunderstorms or the rare sleet or snow. In December 2011, the federal Department of Transportation awarded Beaufort a $12.6 million federal DOT grant to jumpstart Beaufort’s Boundary Street

The men entered the store and demanded cash. One suspect grabbed the cash drawer from the register, and the other took a purse from a customer in the store. Both suspects then fled the store and were seen leaving the area in a gray or tan sedan, possibly an older model Lincoln or Cadillac.

About $13.7 million in local money from the voter-approved penny sales tax originally designated for Beaufort road projects and TIF II will serve as match funding for the federal grant. Under terms of the agreements, Beaufort will contribute up to $300,000 to Hargray and an equal amount to CenturyLink to help partially pay the costs to move their utility lines underground. Funding for that cost-sharing comes from the total project budget, which includes federal dollars, local penny sales tax contributions and TIF II funds. SCE&G agreed to advance the total costs of its share of the power line project — estimated at $2.9 million — and to be reimbursed by a 2 percent Special Franchise Fee District as it is collected. The fee will affect SCE&G customers inside the Beaufort city limits. The special purpose fee won’t be added to utility bills by SCE&G until after the underground conduit for power lines is completed, estimated to be about six months to 12 months away.

Burton firefighters take top honors at state event Burton firefighters fielded three-two man teams at the South Carolina State Firefighter Association’s first Emergency Medical Technician competition held on June 12 in Myrtle Beach. During the association’s annual conference, Burton took home both first and second place in the inaugural event. More than 30 teams from around the state applied to compete for the five available slots in the competition. Burton Firefighter/EMTs Alex Murray and Jed Huth won the competition by taking first place, and second place was awarded to Burton Firefighter/EMTs Nick D’Angelo and Ricky Rankin. Teams were given 12 minutes to complete a scenario that simulated a chlorine explosion involving two patients. Competitors had to assess, triage and treat
both patients and received points for successful decisions and correct treatments. The Burton Fire District provides both basic and advanced life support medical services to its citizens, and Burton firefighters receive over 2,400 man hours of medical training every year. The Burton Fire District responds to over 1,600 medical emergencies annually. “This state level competition highlights the expanding role and importance of the fire service in providing emergency medical services,” stated Assistant Fire Chief Randy Wells, who oversees the Burton Fire District’s medical programs. “Our firefighters train hard and taking both first and second place in this inaugural competition is testament to the commitment we have to our citizens and to the services we provide.”

City crews improve access to Waterfront Park playground Earlier this week, Beaufort public works crews installed a flexible hardwood walkway at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park Playground to provide additional access to the popular play area. “Our Public Works team did a tremendous job on this,” City Manager Scott Dadson said. “Not only did they improve access to the playground for people with physical challenges, but they did it using materials and a design that blend in with the natural waterfront setting.” The improvements come four months after the city completely re-did the playground’s surface to make it safer. The original rubberized playground surface was cracking and peeling apart, exposing the asphalt surface below. This created a trip and fall hazard for

Isiah Smalls, Beaufort’s director of public works and facilities management. In January and February, after cost estimates came in at almost $100,000 to replace the asphalt and rubberized surface, Smalls’ team dug up the asphalt and then spread biodegradable mulch to cushion falls. The area is mulched once a year at a cost of about $2,500. The newly-installed wooden walkway has a life expectancy of 10 years and cost about $7,000 including materials and labor. The playground is located along the Beaufort River downtown in waterfront park, near the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge. It features picnic tables and benches along with playground equipment and adjoins the Tricentennial Monuments park.

Ladies, take the time to pamper yourself By Takiya Smith
When was the last time you sincerely took a minute to appreciate yourself? Yesterday, last week, last month, or in my case, not even the past few months? How is it that a beauty consultant who works day in and day out assisting in all things beautiful for others find herself complacently lacking for herself? Well, as I sink my sore body deeper into my quiet piece of heaven in a comfy, cozy spa massage chair and watch my technician paint my toes, I’ll tell you: The bottom line is that I stopped taking time to pamper myself. I stopped taking time to indulge with every attention, comfort and kindness towards myself. To be totally honest, I have not seen my personal stylist since last October. I haven’t had a manicure since the beginning of the year and as for a pedicure, well, let’s just say

that today marks the end of that shame. In short, a combination of factors including lack of time, finances, family priorities and life in general can all determine a woman’s need and desire to appreciate herself. To recognize one’s full worth requires far more measure than one can comprehend, yet it’s truly a matter of searching it out. Amidst my putting self-indulgent activities on the back burner, I realize that I have also filed any sort of social life far, far away. Work, church, kids and

kids, church, work — in any given order that has become the extent of my walk on the wild side. No dinner parties. No girls nights out. Heck, no “boys” nights out either. Business has been great and business has been time consuming, however this girl has decided that it’s time to get back to appreciating myself and enjoying what I’ve worked so hard for. This Saturday, June 21 from 6-9 p.m. I will be hosting a social event for any woman who wants to appreciate herself. “Pamper Yourself Ladies Night,” in conjunction with Rachele Doiron of the Beaufort Vendor Blender, will be hosted at my salon, The Brow Company Beauty Bar & Makeup Studio, located at 1115 Boundary Street.

Powering the human touch with technology By Dr. Stephen Durham
The promise was always that technology would free us. The idea was to spend more time on the things we were born to do as human beings. It was also supposed to make things less expensive. The truth turns out to be that it takes focus to keep technology in its place and keep it from taking up our time, attention and priority. The best practices of dentistry offer several examples of how we use technology to make expert treatment and the human touch more attainable for more people. Using light instead of steel Lasers today do many dental treatments more precisely, more comfortably and with less recovery time than scalpels or dental instruments. Periodontal therapy, especially, is better and easier on the patient now. Using a tiny filament we can clear out plaque and infection, and prepare the healthy gum tissue to grow properly back around the base of the tooth. Most people go right

back to work, and many can eat whatever they like right away. Unique, individual — and computer-identified It might seem like a paradox, but computers help us determine each person’s unique “perfect bite,” the alignment that relaxes neck and jaw muscles and makes teeth work efficiently. Since more than 90% of recurring headaches come from badly aligned teeth, this solution goes beyond what most people think of as “dental.” It’s a great example how much of our well being starts with the mouth. More insight, less exposure Using digital radiography instead of “X-rays,” we get clear, instant pictures of teeth, inside and out, with 90% less radiation. And since there are no negatives to develop, there are no chemicals or film. So digital radiography is healthier for you and the environment. And that two-way benefit is part of how we handle tooth restorations, too. Banned in Scandinavia Some debate still goes on in the U.S.,
but Norway, Sweden and Denmark actually banned the use of mercury to make dental fillings. Mercury is just not good for people, and the only debate is Dr. Stephen about how much we Durham can stand. Here we’ve practiced mercury-free dentistry from the first, because resin-based composites and porcelain caps restore teeth without the danger of mercury getting in the bloodstream and into our coastal environment. Simple weapon vs. a deadly enemy Today patients just swish a special rinse, open wide, and with a special light we can screen for oral cancer, seeing immediately if any tissue is abnormal. What a simple, quick, painless way to be on-guard. We offer it to patients in every routine hygiene appointment — and recommend it for anyone at high risk.
You see, oral cancer takes more people than either cervical or skin cancer. And more than a quarter of cases are among people who never smoked. What makes oral cancer so deadly is that 66% of patients are diagnosed when the cancer has already progressed to late-stage. Putting people first The key to making technology a servant rather than a master is to keep putting people first. We have that in mind every single day. The smell of freshbaked cookies at our office is a good reminder to us — and to our patients! A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Stephen Durham is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. He is a past recipient of the LVI Fellowship Award for Neuromuscular and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Durham practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort.

I choose MY LIFE...
I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. This poem by Dawna Markova is so full of the energy of choice for me. It begins with such a passionate statement of intention for life, then continues with strong words of choice, “I choose to INHABIT my days ...” How is all of this vibrating in you right now? Do you feel fired up about the choices for your life or has some fear crept into your mind or body? One of the fun practices that I have for
myself is to ask, “So, Ifetayo, what fear is keeping you from choosing to have this or that in your life right now?” Owning my life, taking full responsibility for my Ifetayo life is the gift of being White a growing human being. It is all mine to choose in every moment of every day — from with whom I spend my time to how much I am weighing right now. We have all had the experience of being with someone who is living in the pain of an abusive marriage or unbalanced friendship. The first question should be, “Why?” Why this choice? Is the choice to be a victim or martyr, or to inhabit a life of love, of joy, of intimacy? Now is the time for each of us to claim our choice, to move out of the energy of powerlessness or passivity about the gift of our lives. Guess what, my dears? We also get

to choose how we are feeling right now about any situation or experience. It is my choice to feel enraged or impatient driving behind one of our Lowcountry Sundaygoing-to-church drivers when we need to get to IHOP before the line for breakfast gets too long. The other person truly has no power over my feelings or responses unless I give them that power. They have given me another opportunity to exercise my power of choice with a wide range of emotions, including just letting go and enjoying the ride. Taking full responsibility for the creation that is my life at this time and making the
choices to change the circumstances of this life often requires us to strengthen our will. When I recognized that living in the city of my birth was no longer nurturing to my spirit, it took lots of willpower to continue to go through all that my desire to move to Beaufort was asking of me. My children, future grandchildren, tons of family and close high school and college friends, childhood memories and a familiar environment — all to be let go in some way as I continued to make plans for my move. But my heart and spirit knew what was right for me, and continuously engaging my will gave me the power to carry out this choice. I will choose not to live an unlived life. I choose my life!

America’s favorite pastime The first half of 2014 is coming to a close and we recently ushered in summer and baseball. It would not be the beginning of baseball season (or any sport for that matter) without the baseball “experts” pontificating about which team will prevail at the end of the season. This is the part that always makes me smile. How in the world can anybody know today who is going to win the World Series in October? The baseball season is a marathon, as teams play 162 games during the course of the regular season. With so many variables in play, there is absolutely no way that any expert, let alone an ordinary baseball fan can determine with any degree of certainty which team will be crowned the World Series champion. While it might make for good television ratings, would you want to attempt to pick a winner at the beginning of the season and be tied to that selection at
the end of the season? I would surmise the answer to the question would be, absolutely not. What if the star player gets hurt? What if the brilliant rookie prospect turns Charles out to be a bust? You Tumlin are stuck riding that selection into the sunset. Why then, would it make sense to invest your money that way? At any time you can find financial experts on television talking about why this stock or that stock is going to be the best performing over the next five or ten years, or even over just the next year. Think about how much can change in just a year’s time, let alone an entire decade. From the beginning to the end of 2008 the S&P 500 lost 38% of its
value. Similarly, from the beginning to the end of 2009 the S&P 500 gained 23% . Those are just one year time periods. Think about ten years. Who would have imagined in 1999 that the decade of 2000’s would post the first decade loss for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since the 1930’s? This is why it is so important to have flexibility in the financial markets, and more importantly a logical, organized game plan for navigating the markets. In today’s complex markets, one needs an approach to investing that is instead based upon finding leadership in the market, and attaching a discipline that offers rules for accepting that a trend is working or no longer working. An approach that is based upon the irrefutable economic principles of supply & demand, and dictates that we adapt into assets controlled by demand and
away from those controlled by supply. In the end, this philosophy means that while others spend their summer predicting, we spend the 12 months of the year listening to the market and adapting to changes.

Scout Southern Market celebrates grand opening By Lanier Laney
Ann and Corey Higgins, who moved to Beaufort from San Francisco less than a year ago, put a lot of hard work into refurbishing a downtown storefront and have just opened a wonderful new store at 709 Bay Street, between Scott and Carteret streets. Scout Southern Market & Sweet Tea Bar specializes in Southern-made products that capture the spirit of the contemporary Southern lifestyle. The store carries home décor, custom furniture, lighting, jewelry, gifts and gourmet foods that appeal to both locals and visitors looking to bring home a piece of Southern style. They also offer a delicious assortment of Southern snacks and beverages at the Sweet Tea Bar — the perfect place to send out-of-town guests this summer.

Says Ann Higgins, “We want to thank everyone who came downtown last Saturday evening to meet Scout Southern Market. It was a wonderful night and we were thrilled to see everyone enjoying the store and taking turns lounging on the day bed! It was our way of saying thank you to all those who gave us inspiration, advice and support in making our vision a reality. While the beauty of the Sea Islands drew us here, it is the welcoming people of Beaufort and the amazing friendships that make it such a special home. At Scout Southern Market, we strive to celebrate the Southern lifestyle and there is no better place to regale in the glory of southern grace than Beaufort, South Carolina.” Here are some pics from the grand opening for you:

When Irene Goodnight, right, asked if anyone was an actor, Beverly Hay reluctantly said yes. Irene gave her a pink grass skirt and coconut top as a gag gift. That’s when Beverly offered to sing, and she was amazing. Everyone was in awe of her gorgeous opera voice, and listening to her gift was definitely a highlight of the evening. She received a bag full of Mary Kay beauty products for her wonderful performance.

Reflections of the past six years at Coosa Elementary By Carmen Dillard, principal
As the last few days of this school year draws to an end, I find myself very reflective and appreciative of the last six years. I began as principal of Coosa on July 1, 2008 after relocating to Beaufort, South Carolina from Atlanta, Georgia. I left my family, a school where I had worked the past 13 years, and the familiarity of the place I was born and raised to begin a new chapter in my life. I can honestly say that while that change was a bit scary at times, it was also invigorating, and I think, meant to be. I have grown so much as a professional, and have enjoyed seeing Coosa continue to grow and expand its culture of high quality and excellence. I was just reviewing our school staff roster, and since I began in 2008, Coosa has maintained many of the same teachers — in fact, two-thirds of the staff have been here that length of time or longer. The remaining one-third of the staff joining us since 2008 have brought new ideas and positive energy. I think we have a healthy mix of professionals who see the benefit of working together to ensure our students receive high-quality instruction. They are ever-mindful of each student’s individual learning needs and are committed to being a positive role model for students. Over the past six years, our Coosa school family has struggled with serious illnesses. Seven have had cancer, and two are still undergoing treatment. These hardships have brought us even closer together as a school staff as we rally around these
individuals. This does not go unnoticed by our students. From our actions, they are learning compassion, consideration, and helping others less fortunate. Carmen In addition to the Dillard dedicated Coosa staff, our students continue to benefit from our benevolent community who see the value in reaching out to work with and prepare our next generation. For our military families, we have a full-time Military Family Liaison Consultant. Mrs. Alley is well-loved by our military impacted students, and they look forward to spending lunch time with her. Our Rotary Readers from the Beaufort Rotary come to school each week not only to help students in need of additional reading assistance but develop a friendship with these students who often need to build confidence. The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Department and Lady’s Island Fire Department are frequent visitors to the school and serve as role models for the students. Our business partners, Home Depot and Martin and Lindsay Landscaping, were instrumental in providing time, labor, and materials to help us make our Memorial Reflection Garden a reality this past year. Each 1st Friday of the month, we have Coosa dads (and other father figures) join their children for the All Pro Dad breakfast. Finally, our many parent volunteers continue to spend countless hours at school working with
students, or assisting in the classroom or building to make all of our jobs a bit easier. I have to say that the biggest accomplishment during my 6 years at Coosa has been implementing “The Leader in Me.” Coosa is proud to be the first leadership development school in Beaufort County based on the late Dr. Stephen Covey’s books The Leader in Me and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The 7-Habits, which serves as the framework for the school theme of “Lowcountry Leaders”, teaches students how to make good choices, plan ahead and prioritize, work well with others, and take care of themselves — body, mind, and spirit. It is embedded into the school culture and curriculum throughout the day and even beyond. I feel a great sense of pride for our growing leaders when individuals (perhaps some of you) have attended one or both of the annual Leadership Events and remark how impressive it is to see these youngest leaders taking on responsibility and demonstrating the leadership skills they are continuing to develop. We continue to see the benefits: a continual drop in disciplinary referrals, students genuinely interested in setting goals, tracking their progress, and displaying good citizenship. All of this develops greater self-confidence, a sense of direction and purpose, and a positive and healthy school climate for learning. I am delighted we get to keep our 4th grade leaders an additional year as 5th graders to hone those leadership
skills even more. As I prepare to leave this wonderful school and take on a new challenge and direction in my life as Director of Elementary Academic Assistant for the Beaufort County School District, I am eternally grateful for the years I have had being Coosa’s principal, the many friendships I have developed in the community, and last but not least, the children who have touched my life. I will miss them a lot, but as I tell them, I know where I can come to get a “kid-fix” when I need one. In all seriousness, I leave Coosa knowing that the tradition for excellence will carry on — it was here before I arrived and will be here after I leave. The school will be in good hands under the leadership of Mr. Charles DelForge, who begins officially as Principal of Coosa on July 1. He had the opportunity to spend the day at Coosa on May 23 to meet school staff, students, and parents. The students were very excited to meet him and were so gracious. Mr. DelForge and I will continue to work closely to make the transition for the school as smooth as possible. Finally, thank you all for all you have done to make my life richer by being a part of this community. I will always be grateful for this experience and truly believe it will better prepare me as I begin my work with all elementary schools in Beaufort County.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
dynamic duo matt and laura mcalhaney: beaufort’s
By Lanier Laney
Matt and Laura McAlhaney met on a charity fundraising catamaran sail around Charleston Harbor nine years ago in July. It was love at first sight and they were married a year later. Says Laura, “Everything is funny with my husband. I find him to be hilarious.” Matt, whose parents are Ann McEachern Bulock and Henry T. McAlhaney, is a Beaufort native and University of South Carolina graduate. He has been in real estate sales and development in Beaufort for more than 20 years and hangs his license with Cora Bett Thomas. Although born in Japan, Laura, whose maiden name is Mastrandrea, is of Italian heritage. She lived in Charleston after her father was stationed at the Charleston Naval Base as Supply Corp Captain in 1978. Her family later retired to Mt. Pleasant in 1988. They have two adorable children — Cape, age 7, and Cecelia, age 6. Both Matt and Laura love to travel, and each had done a lot of it before they met. They believed there was a need for a small, yet luxurious, modern boutique hotel in Beaufort’s downtown historic district. Matt, with Laura’s support, renovated and opened City Loft Hotel six years ago, at the bottom of the recession. But through hard work and a great staff, the hotel has turned into a real success story. As a business partner, Laura opened and oversees City Java & News which has become a popular community hub while also welcoming guests to City Loft. City Java offers the best in espresso drinks, all types of great coffee, along with breakfast, lunch, pastries, wine, beer, print materials and wireless internet. City Loft was voted best hotel in Beaufort from both The Island News and The Beaufort Gazette this year. On a larger stage, TripAdvisor (the world’s largest online travel website) has listed City Loft as the number one hotel in Beaufort since it opened, and has named it in the top 10 best small hotels in the United States two years running. While TripAdvisor no longer has the category, three years ago, City Loft was also in the top 10 for best service in the country in the company of luxury giants such as The St. Regis and The Four Seasons. Says Matt, “I see my primary job as securing an excellent work force and providing a happy, fulfilling work environment as this translates into
The McAlhaney Family: Laura, Matt, Cecilia, 6, and Cape, 7.
customer satisfaction — our single greatest priority. We have fun but we are very serious about our small space in the world of hospitality. My right hand woman at City Loft has been Stephanie Fairbanks, and without her and my excellent staff you would not be interviewing me — that is a certainty.” “My husband is our leader and a great partner,” says Laura. She said the staff of City Java and City Loft “are an extension of my family and I’m really proud they choose to work with our organization. I love them all.” Laura, besides creating and overseeing City Java, has been a teacher for the past 13 years in South Carolina public schools after receiving a graduate degree from the College of Charleston in teaching students with learning disabilities. Before that she studied Language and International Trade at Clemson University. Matt calls her “the combustion engine behind our family.” Melesia Walden, the original headmaster at Bridges Preparatory School, and Laura wrote and received The Learning Center grant for a partnership with Bridges which allowed Laura to serve as the learning coach for the 2013-2014 school year.
Says Laura, “The Learning Center grant gave me a great opportunity to continue my work with the school after start up and utilize my years of teaching experience to serve the students and parents of Bridges. The position of learning coach allowed us an innovative way to maximize my experience in teaching and coaching students we identified as in need of assistance. To me, individualizing instruction is the most important study in education today, which is why partnerships like those supported through The Learning Center are so important.” The Learning Center of Beaufort Inc., in partnership with The Coastal Communities Foundation, extends grants to nonprofit organizations looking to increase the success rate of any struggling learner in their population, be it during school or after school programming. The Learning Center board selects which organizations will get funding based on their grant applications. For example, Penn Center and The Boys & Girls Club ran after-school tutoring programs for the 2013-14 school year, but other funded programs operated during the school day, which was the
case at Bridges. The Learning Center is available to every child in Beaufort County at a variety of locations including Bridges, St. Peter’s Catholic School, Penn Center, AMIkids, Saint John Paul II Catholic High School, and soon Holy Trinity Classical Christian School. And, The Learning Center Fund works closely with the Beaufort County School District to identify children in need of assistance. Matt says, “Laura is a rare find and a unique creation as she is beautiful, educated, energetic, and thoughtfully engaged in the world in which she lives. She cares for our children and me, she cares about the many students’ lives she has touched and works daily to make our businesses the best they can possibly be.” Besides Laura’s involvement with The Learning Center, which is a 501c nonprofit, they both have been supportive of many charities in Beaufort. Matt has been involved with CODA for over 20 years and has coordinated golf tournaments and baseball charity events for the organization. He’s also served on the boards of Historic Beaufort Foundation, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and TMAC. Both Laura and Matt love Beaufort. Says Laura, “There are so many things to like about Beaufort. So many interesting people from around the world are exposed to Beaufort in some unique way, love it and long to come back. All of this provides Beaufort with a population of many fascinating people. I love people and their stories.” Adds Matt, “For me, I love the friends and family that have gathered on this small island — so many have brought so much to the table of life.” Matt also loves what his friend Chris Conefry says about Beaufort: “It’s the backdrop for any Southern novel you may want to write.” As for the future, Matt says, “I think it is unusual, and I am proud of the fact that my family and I live in the home in which my mother was raised; even better it is less than 200 yards from City Loft. I like to think we have created and continue to contribute a vital component to the economic engine of downtown Beaufort.” Adds Laura, “We believe a person’s work should touch the lives of others, always.” To that end, they both would like to see City Loft Hotel and City Java & News brand grow and are exploring opportunities to make that happen.

Damude steps down as longtime Beaufort High wrestling coach The Beaufort High School wrestling team will be under the direction of a new head coach during the 2014-15 season. Longtime Beaufort High School wrestling head coach Bill Damude has stepped down. His assistant coach during the 201314 season, 24-year-old Travis Wynn — a 2008 state champion at Beaufort High and one of the state’s top young coaches — is expected to be named the new head coach. An official move on the job, however, hadn’t been made as of press time. Wynn was the head coach of the
Whale Branch Early College High School wrestling program in the 2012-13 season. He left Whale Branch to become Damude’s Bill assistant coach at Damude Beaufort High last school year. Damude excelled throughout his coaching stint. SCmat.com lists Damude with 372 dual wins, which has him tied for eighth among the
state’s coaches. During his coaching career, Damude coached 10 individual state champions. He also led Beaufort High to a runner-up finish in the Class 4-A tournament. Among Damude’s other top grapplers at Beaufort High School were all-Americans Harris Lawton (1990) and Charles Barton (1993), whom he guided to senior nationals. After high school, Wynn wrestled for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. The Beaufort High wrestling team is poised to compete in Class 3-A.
59th annual water festival
Horse shoe, volleyball tourneys score By Bob Sofaly
The 59th annual Beaufort Water Festival held its horse shoe and volleyball tournaments on Saturday, June 14 at Beaufort High School. Water Festival’s Marketing Coordinator Chris Canady said this year’s horse shoe tournament looked to be a big success. “We have nine teams playing in a double elimination tournament,” he said as the clank of metal shoes striking iron stakes echoed across the BHS football practice field. “Every team will play at least four games,” he said and added that participation was up from last year. On the volleyball courts, event organizer Mike Dixon said there were 13 teams in various age brackets in what he called a “pool play” format. “Each volleyball team will play each other team twice to 21 points,” he said. The top three teams will be in the playoffs. For other Water Festival sporting events, the men’s golf tournament is scheduled for June 21-22 at Fripp Island’s Ocean Point and Ocean Creek courses. And the annual Cornhole Tournament will be held at The Shed in Port Royal on Saturday, June 28.

arts&entertainment Penn Center exhibit features work of TJ Reddy Penn Center’s York W. Baily Museum will feature a collection of artwork by African American contemporary visual artist, poet and performer, TJ Reddy. The artist’s work, the art and the kalimba music present an integral relationship to his understanding of life. Reddy’s art is a multiplicity of varying elements which are coexisting. What’s inherent in all that action is he takes the opportunity to discover, and be discovered. He says the kalimba, an ancient African instrument tells him what to do, it informs him with no preexisting order within his consciousness. He experiences what he calls an “invitation to openness.” The paintings of TJ Reddy are the same, they inform him, tell him what to do. Reddy states, “I am beginning to
understand as I mature what I already know about the art and music.”
The York W. Bailey Museum will showcase a collection of TJ Reddy
paintings June 28 to July 26. The public is invited to a free meet and greet the artist reception 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 28. The York W.

Celebrate National Safety Month with a clean house At Merry Maids of Beaufort, we have always believed that a clean home is a happier home. Furthermore, we think a clean home is a safer home. In honor of June being National Safety Month, we have some ideas for ways to keep your home, spotless, sparkling and safe. Avoid Falls: Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of unintentional home injury? By keeping tighter areas such as doorways, stairs and halls clutter-free, and cleaning up spills as they happen, you are reducing your family’s risk of taking a tumble.
Also, if you have to stand on something to reach an item on a high shelf, make sure it’s a sturdy ladder (not a chair) with four feet on the floor. Keep Poisons Penned: All potentially harmful substances should be secured, well-labeled and out of reach of children. Remember to put them away after each use and make sure child safety lids are on tightly. We also recommend consulting each product’s manufacturer’s directions and storage practices. Let The Air Flow: Most cleaning solutions, even those that are considered green or all-natural, were never meant to
be inhaled. Keeping the windows open will help keep you from getting lightheaded or dizzy. Good Food Habits: The first rule of safe food preparation in the home is to keep everything clean. Wash foodcontact surfaces (cutting boards, dishes, utensils, countertops) with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item and before going on to the next. Keeping the refrigerator clean and sanitized at all times will help prevent crosscontamination — the spread of bacteria from one food to another — and making sure you dry everything after you’ve
sanitized it will help deter flies and also prevent bacteria buildup. Ban Bin Odors: It’s never too often to sanitize your garbage can, but summer is an especially good time to do it because you can wash it outside with a hose. After you’ve emptied out the water, spray liberally with a sanitizer, then let sit for ten minutes. Rinse again and turn upside down to dry. For more information, please contact Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843522-2777, email at custsrv4632@ merrymaids.net or visit our website at merrymaidsbeaufort.com.

Professional organizer advice: Create a home inventory By Roxanne W. Cheney
From May 29-31, I attended the 26th Annual Conference and Organizing Expo hosted by the National Association of Professional Organizers in Scottsdale, Arizona. Along with more than 600 attendees from 13 nations, I learned from leading industry experts in four general sessions and more than 30 workshops and breakout sessions. We also had access to an Expo Hall featuring displays and demonstrations by dozens of companies that manufacture, sell, and distribute organizing products and organizing industry-related services that offer solutions for a diverse clientele. One particularly relevant session (given the advent of hurricane season) was a detailed workshop on creating home and business inventories. As recently advised by the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, a home inventory is an excellent way to expedite the insurance claims process
after theft, damage, or loss. Moreover, this record of your insurable assets will also help verify tax-deductible property losses and determine the right amount of insurance coverage you need. Especially after a traumatic loss, it’s impossible to remember everything you had, so most people never collect their full insurance benefits. Creating a home inventory is probably on many “To Do” lists — but anecdotal evidence suggest that it is one of those “important but not urgent” tasks that is overcome by other events — until it’s too late. In the event of loss, would you have a record of all the valuables in your home? If the answer is no, I encourage you to begin putting your inventory together today. These steps may help get you started: 1. Whether you choose to use high- or low-tech tools to create your inventory, there are insurance company guides as well as programs and apps available to facilitate

your project. 2. For every item, include a detailed description (make, model, and serial number, if applicable), value, and purchase date. If you are missing a detail, include as much as you reasonably can. 3. Your inventory should include a visual record with a video walk-through of your home or through a series of photographs. Your tablet or smartphone can be useful in either instance. 4. A good way to start is to move from room to room, listing items as you go. Don’t forget to include items in your basement, attic, garage, and any detached structures, such as tool sheds. Also, pay special attention to your most valuable possessions, such as antiques, art, jewelry, collectibles, and electronic equipment. If you have any questions about which items are covered by your policy, contact your insurance agent. 5. Keeping proper documentation
will also help to facilitate the claims process. This documentation, which can be scanned for digital storage, includes receipts, credit card statements, other transaction documents, and appraisals (include the appraiser’s name and address). Once you’ve created your home inventory, make sure to update it as you acquire or dispose of items over time. Store your inventory in a secure place away from your home, such as your office or a safe deposit box. You may also want to email your inventory to a trusted friend and ask them to save it for you. This way, if you ever need the information for insurance or tax purposes, it will be easy to access. Lastly, remember that doing a little is better than doing nothing. Consistently devoting as little as 15 minutes to this (or any) project will produce visible results in short order. So don’t delay, get started today!

www.genegrace.com Importance of Dental Cleanings If you think about it, one of the quickest ways to the bloodstream and ultimately the body is through the gums, particularly bleeding gums. It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone. Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

lunch bunch
You’ll find ‘great food, good people and always a fun time’ at By Pamela Brownstein
BOONDOCKS
I have a confession: After 10 years in Beaufort, I had never been to Boondocks. So when Lunch Bunch met last week at the restaurant located off Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena Island, I was excited to finally see what it had to offer. New owners Travis and Jesse are enthusiastic about their new menu and serving fresh, local seafood along with hearty, homemade Southern comfort food. It’s a combination that is fine. Actually, it’s more than fine, it’s fantastic. We started with a piping hot basket of tasty hush puppies, as well as a glass of white wine for each of us, a perfect way to enjoy a summer Friday afternoon. Next, we tried grilled shrimp skewers over homemade coleslaw, and it was an excellent dish. The shrimp had a glaze with a slight kick, that paired perfectly Clockwise from above: Blackened swordfish over rice; Boondocks nachos; Grilled with a bite of cool, fresh slaw. shrimp skewers over homemade coleslaw; Soft shell crabs; Mac n’ cheese.

wine
Montevina Barbera is something to sing about By Celia Strong
It’s always fun to play with names. People have written songs about clever names, and, on occasion, some of us have even sung these songs. This week we will learn about a wine that tastes great and is priced right — that’s enough to make any wine lover sing. But, hopefully, by the time the singing does start, I will be in my own “safe for singing” place, and you will as well. If the singing does follow, it is not to be discussed. Ever! So, humming, off we go to learn about this week’s wine and we glide into Amador County, California. In addition to wine, and before a lot of wine came from there, Amador was known for gold mining. Located about 45 miles southeast of Sacramento, Amador is just over 600 square miles, which makes it the fifth smallest county in California. And lakes account for a little more than 11 square miles. Only months after it was established in May 1854, Amador County was split into Amador, Calaveras and El Dorado counties. It is named for José María Amador, a soldier, rancher and miner who was born in San Francisco in 1794. In 1848, he and several Native Americans established a gold mining camp near what is now Amador City. This part of California is known as “the Mother Lode” because of all the rich gold mines in the area. “Amador” means “one who loves” in Spanish. Despite their riches, all the gold mines in Amador County were closed in 1942 by the federal government because they were not considered important to the war effort. Recently, there have been attempts to reopen and modernize some of the mines. The Shenandoah Valley, in Amador County, was once the principal wine growing area in California. Many wineries were built there during and after the California Gold Rush that are still there today — some by miners who did not find gold, or at least enough gold. Prohibition did devastate the wine industry there, but about 40 wineries now operate in Amador County. Zinfandel is Amador’s claim to wine fame. Some of the vineyards have Zinfandel vines that are 125 years old. The original 10-acre Grandpère
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
Vineyard was planted before 1869, and still grows great Zinfandel grapes. There are county documents verifying its establishment and history. In addition to Zinfandel, other varieties do well in Amador County. Ours for this week is Barbera. (Not to be confused with Barbara — especially if you have a Barbara in your family.) Barbera is a red variety, the third most planted red in Italy, which is where the grape comes from. It is prudent, at this point, to remind ourselves that Italian varieties are grown quite a bit in California. They came with many of the immigrants from Italy who turned to grape growing because table wines were such a large part of their daily lives. We have even discussed the name, made up though it is, for California wines made from what are usually Italian varieties. Remember “CalItals?” Zinfandel is an Italian variety, or at least a clone of one. Sangiovese is, and Barbera is too. Arneis is a white grape with a few small plantings in California. And, not to be forgotten the “ever in your glass” Pinot Grigio, as well as Moscato. Many of these make both single variety wines and blends. Our Barbera wine this week is one of these. Barbera grapes are a deep purple color. When young, their wines have intense aromas of cherries, raspberries and blueberries. With aging, and some Barbera wines are meant to be aged, they get blackberry and black cherry flavors. Aged in oak barrels, vanilla flavors attach to the wines for added complexities. Lighter bodied Barbera wines have enough acidity to be chilled slightly, about 20 minutes. Heavier ones, with more oak barrel aging time and/or slightly more alcohol, can be aged and served at room temperature. Historically, Barbera is thought to have originated in the Piedmont area in northeastern Italy. DNA testing
“You notice it the minute you walk in our lobby. You hear folks being called by their first name.”
The Montevina Barbera hails from Amador County, California, and is available for only $5.97 at Bill’s Liquor.
suggests it may also be related to the French variety Mourvedre, used in the Rhône area. One of the best known wine scandals (and there are a few) occurred in 1985. Barbera producers in Piedmont, Italy, were illegally adding methanol to their wines. More than 30 people died and many more lost their eyesight. (Not to be glib, but was it the addition of the methanol or the killing of 30 people that was illegal?) Anyhow, Barbera wines became very unpopular and plantings of this variety dropped immensely. Barbera vines are fairly easy to grow. They have high yields and are vigorous. Pruning helps to maintain good levels of acidity and astringency. In Piedmont, their early ripening allows them to be harvested up to two weeks before their Nebbiolo grapes. If a winemaker’s Barbera grapes are too acidic, blending with other grapes is a successful option. Outside of Italy, Barbera is rare in the rest of Europe. In California, it is one of the most successful Italian varieties with over 8,000 acres planted. Napa and Sonoma counties both have produced some good Barbera wines, but it is most
planted in the Central Valley where Amador County is located. Our winery is Montevina, which recently changed its name to Terra d’Oro. Before, Terra d’Oro wines were labeled with the phrase “by Montevina.” But, if you are located in the “mother lode” area of the California Gold Rush, Terre d’Oro, “land of gold,” is probably a more productive brand name. Montevina was founded in 1979, the first winery in the county after Prohibition. Today, they are the biggest and most modern of all the wineries in Amador. With wineries like Montevina — oops, I mean Terra d’Oro — making good Barbera wines, this has become the sixth most planted variety in California. For the Barbera varietal wine, the grapes are hand-picked, many from their own estate vineyards. The grapes are de-stemmed and gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Because they expect to get a low level of tannins from these grapes, they use techniques to maximize the extractions during fermentation — the juice is drained from the tanks and then returned to the same tanks over the grape skins, every day. “Drain and return, drain and return,” that is the winery’s name for it. More skin contact means more textures and flavors. In all, the fermentation with this process takes 14 days. Then, the wine is aged in small oak barrels for 14 months. Somehow, the cherry cola flavor of Barbera is enhanced, yum, yum! This finished wine also has blackberry and pomegranate flavors and hints of vanilla from the oak barrels. This week’s wine is ours for $9.99. But, wait, no, that’s not right. These labels say “Montevina Barbera.” Didn’t we just say Terra d’Oro is the new winery name? Yes. So, what’s the scoop? Well, we have great, new wine with old labels on the bottles so we get a deal. Because, really, who should have to drink wine with an out-of-date label? So it is actually available at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island for only $5.97 — now we’re happy. After a glass or two, or a bottle or two, the label really doesn’t matter anymore. Nor does any of that singing some of us might be doing. Enjoy!
You notice it the minute you walk in our lobby. You hear folks being called by their first name. It’s a relaxed, but at the same time professional atmosphere. Professional financial service with a hometown personal touch.

Margaret Wegner Dyson
Peggy Dyson died Friday morning June 13, 2014 at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. She was predeceased by her husband of over 70 years, Colonel James H. Dyson. Born in Rochester, N.Y., on September 8, 1921 she attended the Eastman School, Syracuse University and Stetson University. She and Jim met at Stetson and planned to be married after his graduation from law school. However, they waited for him to start active duty as a new Army lieutenant in the field artillery. They were married on New Year’s Eve 1941, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Starting married life at Ft. Benning, Georgia, Peggy adapted to the rigorous and fast paced activities of an army preparing for war. During World War II, with Jim away for three and a half years, Peggy returned home to work in her father’s canning plant in East Williamson, N.Y. Ironically, many of the workers in the factory were German POWs captured in North Africa, where Jim had first seen combat with the Second Armored Division. Peggy supported the war effort as a volunteer Red Cross Gray Lady, providing support to hospitalized U.S. military personnel. She devoted 26 years to that program. Throughout Jim’s career in the Army, Peggy was very active, raising their two sons who followed their father into careers as Army officers. Throughout Jim’s deployments to Korea and Vietnam, Peggy held the family together and actively supported the Army families remaining stateside during the wars. The Dysons retired to central Florida in November of 1971, eventually settling in DeLand, where they had been in college together. Peggy was active in the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Order of the Eastern Star, the DeLand Garden Club and the Krewe of
26
Amalee, a local charity. In 2005 the Dysons moved to Beaufort. They are survived by two sons; Ret. Lt. Col. James H. Dyson, Jr. (Marianna) of Alexandria, Va., and Ret. Lt. Col. Gregory W. Dyson (Sarah) of Beaufort, S.C. They have four grandchildren and twin great-grandsons. In memory of Margaret W. Dyson, bequests may be made to the American Heart Association and the Preservation Trust for Historic St. Helena’s Church in Beaufort. The family received friends on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 from 4-6 p.m. at Anderson Funeral Home. Graveside funeral services were held on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 10 a.m. at Beaufort National Cemetery. Anderson Funeral Home is serving the family.
Evelyn Morris Gray
Evelyn Morris Gray, (Mammit), left this earthly life for her eternal home on June 5, 2014 at her daughter’s home in Summerville, SC. She would have turned 98 on June 12, 2014. The family received friends on Monday, June 9, 2014 at 3 p.m. in Anderson Funeral Home with the services following at 4 p.m. in Carl Anderson Memorial Chapel with interment in Forest Lawn Cemetery. She joins her husband of 73 years, Aylmer “Tippy” Gordon Gray, Sr. (2005) and her son Aylmer Gordon Gray, Jr. (2007), her sister and two brothers. Evelyn was a member of The Baptist Church of Beaufort since 1939. When her children were young, she worked in the Sunday School Department and was a choir member. She was a hairdresser for over 50 years, retiring at the age of 91. She worked for Myrt’s Beauty Shop and owned her own shop, Evelyn’s Beauty Shop on Boundary Street for 48 years. Her last working years were spent at Guys and Dolls with her dear friend Natalie Seno. She loved her work, her clients, her family and her church. She is survived by her daughter, Carol Drumm and son-in-law Curtis Drumm; seven grandchildren: Lynn Davidson, Carol Ann Johnson, Julie Connelly and Kimberly Polk all of Beaufort, SC; Terri Tennille of Amelia Island, FL; Sheri Wadell of Baton Rouge, LA and

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Drink to good health By Tracie Korol
Now that we’re in the doldrums of hot, humid weather we need to be uber-conscientious when it comes to making sure our pets are supplied with fresh clean water. Even in winter, in a dry heated house, a dog can become dehydrated if deprived of fresh water. I emphasize the word “fresh” for a reason. Try this experiment. Drink a glass of cold clean tap water, right from the spigot. Observe. At the same time fill another glass and leave it on the counter. Push it to the back and come return to it three or four days later. Most likely it has a faint film on the surface — dust, grease, pollen — and if you choose to drink it down, fuzz and all, you’ll notice it tastes musty and flat. Observe. This is probably the water your dog drinks every day. Water is the most important of all the nutrients. It plays a complex and critical role in the health of all mammals, constituting 55-75% of the body mass of all warm-blooded creatures, 84% of a newborn puppy and 60% of an adult dog. Water bathes and fills every one of a dog’s billion cells. In fact, a dog can lose all of its fat and half of its muscle mass and survive, but just a 10% loss of body water can cause breakdown. Water lubricates a dog’s joints and muscles and cushions the spaces between individual cells.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

Dogs like a clean water bowl. It’s easy to just refill the bowl, but when was the last time you ran the water bowl through the dishwasher? As the principle element of blood, it transports oxygen to all body tissues and helps fight infections by distributing white blood cells produced by a dog’s immune system. Water provides an environment in which enzymes can digest food and convert it to energy for a dog’s survival. Dogs crave fresh water; and they like a clean bowl, too. It’s easy to simply refill the bowl, day after day, dumping more in when the level gets low. But really, when was the last time you ran the water bowl through the dishwasher? All kinds of stuff can grow in there especially if you have one of those dogs that dips his beard and rinses his mouth when he drinks leaving dirt, twigs and crumbs to float

around the bowl. It’s a good idea to get a multiple water bowls, bottom-heavy stainless steel or ceramic, so you can switch them out when the dog water begins to look like bilge. A properly sized bowl is a good idea, too. An oversized bowl means your dog may only be able to drink water part way down. While it looks full, it’s not because he can’t get to it. Tall, narrow bowls are good for dogs with long ears like Bassets, spaniels and beagles, reducing collateral wetness from drippy ears.
Our Best Friends are messy, hitand-miss slurpers, so it can sometimes be hard to know just how much water they get in a day. Most dogs need about an ounce of fluids per pound of body weight daily, so a 10-pound dog needs a bit over a cup of clean fresh water daily. Hard playing, working or lactating dogs usually need more and puppies generally drink more than adult dogs. Dogs that eat only a dry kibble diet, with less than 5% moisture content, will naturally drink more, too. Plus, a dog will drink more when it is hot and conversely, more when it is cold and dry. Your dog is drinking enough if you observe him lapping several times a day from his water bowl and if the water level goes down in the bowl over the day. If you’re aware of a sudden decrease or increase in water consumption, your dog may be ill. Excessive thirst and urinating large amounts may indicate diabetes, kidney failure or other endocrinological diseases. Time to call the vet if you notice drastic changes. Although all dogs are different, your dog is drinking enough if he urinates several times a day when you take him out.
