BHS student awarded scholarship At Beaufort High’s recent Senior Night, the principal announced the school’s senior class had earned more than $8 million dollars in scholarships this year. Among the recipients was Eric Freeman, a 17-year-old Beaufort High School graduate whose grin lit up the crowded

auditorium when he won a Len Miret Memorial Scholarship. The crowd cheered as he took the stage to accept the award from one of the fund’s founders, Habersham resident Joey Gazdak.

Gazdak said the fund raises the scholarship money, which has helped 15 seniors since 2008

with their college expenses, by staging events and through direct solicitation.“Our events include golf tournaments, concerts” performed

by Gazdak’s wife, singer Maggy Norden, “and plain ol’ garage sales.

We have no endowment.”

Beaufort County sues MERS Beaufort County joins several other counties across the country, but is the first county in South Carolina, suing Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), an electronic document registry system owned by members who are large national banks that bundle and sell mortgage loans to investors without having to record assignments of each new transaction in the local property registry.

“These activities have caused massive confusion and has made many of the Beaufort County Register of Deeds recording systems inaccurate and

unreliable”, said County Attorney Josh Gruber.

Typically when a piece of property is bought or refinanced, the mortgage is recorded with the county and reflects the actual lender or owner of the loan.

Beaufort County claims the MERS electronic registry, which records mortgages in the name of MERS rather than the real lender or owner of the loan, has eroded the transparency and corrupted the chain of title of real property records required to be maintained by State law and have rendered these records inaccurate and

unreliable for public use.

Beaufort County is asking the court to prohibit MERS and its member banks from filing fraudulent documents, immediately correct all fraudulent documents currently residing in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds office. Additionally, Beaufort County is seeking remediation of its public records, if possible, or if not possible to remediate such records, compensatory, consequential and punitive damages for the destruction and harm caused to the Beaufort County Recording System.

Libraries to offer unemployment services The Beaufort County Library has partnered with the SC Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) to offer unemployment insurance service Connection Points to the community, as the SC DEW begins to fully move most of the unemployment insurance registrations and weekly filing to a self-service online system. The SC DEW continues to streamline their services starting this month.

The Connection Points will be at the five Beaufort County Library branches: Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Lobeco, and St. Helena. Librarians can assist customers with the basics of accessing DEW’s “MyBenefits” portal.

(The online portal allows customers to file unemployment claims and submit weekly claims.) Claimants that do not

have the computer skills necessary can file over the phone 1.866.831.1724 (toll free). Claimants should continue to go to the Beaufort SC Works Center for reemployment services and workshops, as normal.

“The Connection Points offer South Carolinians the opportunity to take advantage of unemployment services in familiar, convenient locations within their own communities,” said Erica Von Nessen, DEW assistant executive director for unemployment insurance.

“We are excited about working together to provide these connection points that maximize technology in order to best assist our customers access the resources they need.”

The Connection Points will be available during each branch library’s operating hours.

Along with computer access, the Connection Points will include printed resources and online tutorials to assist individuals with file claims and search for jobs. Customers who need further assistance with unemployment insurance services may speak with a DEW claims representative by calling TelClaim at 1-866-831-1724 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.

DEW and its partners are now providing re-employment and unemployment services to all 46 counties through a technologyenhanced approach including 13 regional comprehensive SC Works centers as well as satellite centers and community Connection Points.

news briefS Suspect arrested in purse snatching

A Lady’s Island man has been arrested in connection with a purse snatching that occurred outside a church on the morning of Sunday, June 16.

Nineteen-year old Quinton Timothy Blake was arrested after stealing the purse of a parishioner in the parking lot of Seaside Vineyard Church (100 Sea Island Pkwy). The 18-year old female victim advised that she had walked from the church to a nearby gas station to purchase a drink. On her return to the church, she was approached by a black male who demanded her purse.

The suspect forcefully ripped the purse from the victim’s shoulder and fled the area on foot. A fellow churchgoer gave chase, following the suspect as far as

the island news | june 20-26, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

By Takiya Smith

Remember the popular childhood jingle, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me”?

I’m not quite sure who came up with the quote, nor am I knowledgeable of why or how it made its way into the mouths of young children, however, I do understand that even at a young age, the statement was quite powerful.

Whether we were equipped with the matter-of-fact truth of the message behind the words or not, we all knew that it was a retort, or comeback so to speak, in reference to another child picking on us, being mean-mouthed or gossiping about us. Just as quickly as words were spoken, it seemed that the sting of those nasty, hateful words could immediately be erased by the announcement of the phrase “sticks and stones.” Not only did we announce it, but we mocked our cruel attacker in a sing-song manner, with words turned lyrics as if to show that our joy had not been stripped from us.

So, why is it, as adults, do we seem to struggle with the powerless mediocrity of others’ words towards or about us?

Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com.

Better yet, why are we, as adults, still struggling with gossip, back-stabbing and negativity? To be totally honest and quite blunt, it’s all very lame and immature. Jealousy, envy, malicious intent, low-self esteem and insecurities are all solid foundations for nasty words.

Regardless of how you slice, dice, sauté and fry it up, it’s the truth of the matter.

Now, to no end am I putting anyone down, but what I am saying is that love starts with self first, and looking into self can reveal some heavy secrets that need to be told. Once you can deal with that, then happiness can begin and once happiness is in place, nothing and no one can take that away from you — unless you give it back to them.

GRAND OPENING IN BEAUFORT TINGLING? NUMBNESS? LEG PAIN? FOOT PAIN? Everyday we have more success relieving (the effects of) Neuropathy.

Low Plank is an energetic pose that strengthens the muscles of your arms, your back and your entire core. It is one of the foundation poses of a power vinyasa (flow) practice.

Begin in High Plank, or the top of a push up, with your shoulders stacked directly above your wrists. Bring your upper body toward the front of your mat and begin to slowly lower down.

Maintain a strong straight line from your heels to the crown of your head. Keep your elbows stacked directly above your wrists and close to your body! Lower to a hover about five inches above your mat or

until your shoulders line up with your elbows. Your legs are straight and strong and your feet are hipwidth apart behind you. Press your quadriceps into your thighbones and squeeze your outer shins toward one another. Tuck your tailbone and bring the pit of your belly in and up! Exhale as you lower.

If you are still building upper body and core strength, modify Low Plank by lowering your knees to the mat.

Maintain a strong straight line for your knees to the top of your head as you lower to a hover.

To add a greater challenge to Chaturanga Dandasana, lift one straight leg off of your mat as you lower down. Repeat on the other side.

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.

TIngling / Numbness Pins and Needles Hot / Burning Cold / Chilled Electric Like / Shocking Tightness / Vice-Like Swelling and Pressure

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY? 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.

Living well is the Pointe

Marine F-35B is critical to national defense and Beaufort County

Living well is easy at the all new Ashton Pointe.

By Blakely Williams

Beaufort County, South Carolina, has a rich history supporting military installations and their critical mission to protect our freedom. Many in this country take that freedom for granted; the citizens of Beaufort County do not!

In Beaufort, we make Marines and fight our nation’s battles! Since 1960, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort has been an integral part of this community and an integral part of the Marine Corps’ ability to wage war on our nation’s foes.

The future of Marine Corps aviation and MCAS Beaufort is the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter.

Sequestration is now reality. As a result, military strength and combat readiness will continue to decay over the coming decades. The Marine Corps will return to its roots as the “Nation’s expeditionary force in readiness,” America’s 911 force. From Embassy evacuations to full out combat operations anywhere in the world, the Marine 911 force will bridge the sequestration gap for our nation. Critical to the Marine Corps expeditionary role is the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter with its short takeoff and vertical landing capabilities.

The F-35 is the first jet of its kind. The stealthy F-35 is a supersonic, multirole, 5th Generation (meaning most advanced in the world) fighter designed to replace aging AV-8B Harriers and F/A-18 Hornets currently supporting the Corps’ expeditionary mission. China and Russia are aggressively investing in their own 5th Generation stealth fighter aircraft. The F-35 program as a whole is needed to guarantee our competitive edge over these fighter development programs and to preserve America’s tactical air superiority over any potential adversary. As the Department of Defense is asked to do more with less, the F-35 program and specifically the F-35B will enable our Marine Corps’ 911 force in readiness to project power to any clime or place in the world.

With sequestration, the question must be asked, is the F-35 program affordable? The Government Account Office, which is the investigative arm of Congress charged with the auditing and evaluation of government programs and activities, recently reported that changes and improvements in the F-35 program has put it “on firmer footing” and said that the “F-35 is critical to long-term

recapitalization plans as it is intended to replace hundreds of existing aircraft.”

There are currently 60 F-35 aircraft flying today supporting the Services’ testing programs. Even with this limited production, the program supports more than 125,000 direct and indirect jobs and has an economic impact of nearly $17 billion dollars. These numbers will grow as the program reaches full production in the 2018 timeframe, driving down costs. An F-35 purchased today costs over 50 percent less than those purchased just five years ago, and this trend will continue. Export sales to our international partners are expected to reach $200 billion.

Why is the F-35B important to Beaufort? First and foremost, this is a military community that takes pride in supporting its national defense.

Beaufort is the designated training base for all F-35B pilots in the Marine Corps. In the future, any pilot who flies the F-35B throughout the nation or the world will have lived and trained in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The F-35 will bring enhanced economic impact to the region. Unlike the Desert Storm days of the past, where practically the entire base deployed for over a year leaving Beaufort a virtual ghost town and businesses in distress, the F-35B training squadrons will be here to stay.

These squadrons will be double the size of our current deploying squadrons at MCAS. As training squadrons, they will also welcome close to 100 new pilots each year producing a continuous flow of new families into our community. Other jobs will also accompany the arrival of this aircraft with more than 200 new positions to support the training and simulation center.

While our political leadership grapples over sequestration and the fiscal woes facing all Americans, the F-35 program and Beaufort’s F-35B represents a smart investment in our economic future and, most importantly, the preservation of the freedom we fought for over 200 years ago and we fight for today.

Cognitive biases I was recently introduced to an excellent article by Morgan Housel in “The Motley Fool” on a couple of the most common cognitive biases that cause problems for investors, cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias. The information is not new, but what makes this article so fun is Housel’s writing style and good analogies.

A couple of excerpts should suffice to illuminate the problem with cognitive biases.

Study successful investors, and you’ll notice a common denominator: They are masters of psychology. They can’t control the market, but they have complete control over the gray matter between their ears.

And lucky them. Most of us, on the other hand, are mental catastrophes.

Take one of the most powerful theories in behavior psychology: cognitive dissonance. It’s the term psychologists use for the uncomfortable feeling you get when having two conflicting thoughts at the

same time. “Smoking is bad for me. I’m going to go smoke.”

That’s cognitive dissonance.

We hate cognitive dissonance, and jump through hoops to Charles reduce it. The easiest Tumlin way to reduce it is to engage in mental gymnastics that justifies behavior we know is wrong. “I had a stressful day and I deserve a cigarette.” Now you can smoke guilt-free. Problem solved.

Classic. And this: Cognitive dissonance is especially toxic in the emotional cesspool that is managing money. Raise your hand if this is you: • You criticize Wall Street for being a casino while checking your portfolio twice a day.

• You sold your stocks in 2009 because

the Fed was printing money. When stocks doubled in value soon after, you blamed it on the Fed printing money.

• You put $1,000 on a hyped penny stock your brother convinced you is the next Facebook. After losing everything, you tell yourself you were just investing for the entertainment.

• You buy a stock only because you think it’s cheap. When you realize you were wrong, you decide to hold it because you like the company’s customer service.

Almost all of us do something similar with our money. We have to believe our decisions make sense. So when faced with a situation that doesn’t make sense, we fool ourselves into believing something else.

And this about confirmation bias: Worse, another bias — confirmation bias — causes us to bond with people whose self-delusions look like our own.

Those who missed the rally of the last four years are more likely to listen to analysts

who forecast another crash. Investors who feel burned by the Fed visit websites that share the same view. Bears listen to fellow bears; bulls listen to fellow bulls.

Before long, you’ve got a trifecta of failure: You make a bad decision, rationalize it by fighting cognitive dissonance, and reinforce it with confirmation bias. No wonder the average investor does so poorly.

It’s worth reading the whole article, but the gist of it is that we are all susceptible to these cognitive biases. It’s possible to mitigate the problem with some kind of systematic investment process, but you still have to be careful that you’re not fooling yourself. Investing well is not easy and mastering one’s own psyche may be the most difficult part of all.

Lady’s Island Notes SCE&G Makes Improvements on Lady’s Island. Recently there has been a great deal of activity with the electrical lines on the poles near the intersection of Brickyard Point Road and Middle Road.

This construction is the result of a project

by SCE&G to minimize the area affected by future power outages. Specifically, the current project will separate the Middle Road community electrical circuit from the Brickyard Point circuit and install supervisory control and data acquisition switches.

Food for Thought. Recently Mr. Rick Toomey, President and CEO of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital and incoming President of the South Carolina Hospital Association, in a “letter to the editor” of the local papers, explained the need for the

By Jim Hicks, Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association

State of South Carolina to participate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) and the impact on Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s ability to provide health care if it does not. His position is that “refusing Medicaid expansion means South Carolina will forego more than $11 billion in federal dollars while absorbing $2.6 billion in cuts” resulting in “Beaufort Memorial Hospital not being able to provide an acceptable level of care to its served population.”

At the present time, 26 states are implementing some version of the Affordable Care Act, three are pursuing an alternate model, one is leaning toward adopting the program, five are leaning toward not participating and 15 have indicated a strong refusal to join the

program. Governor Haley, citing concern over the long range cost of implementing the program in South Carolina, has indicated: “We will not expand Medicaid on President Obama’s watch. We will not expand Medicaid ever.”

The SC House of Representatives recently passed HB 3101 entitled the “Freedom of Healthcare Protection Act” or so-called “nullification“ bill that declares the Affordable Care Act to be unconstitutional and thus is “null and void” and criminalizes its implementation.

The bill has been sent to the South Carolina Senate where it was assigned to a committee for further study. Surely, there can be more substantive dialog on this subject between the representatives of our hospitals and state government. Mr.

Toomey and the Board of Directors of Beaufort Memorial Hospital have provided the community with detailed facts and figures as to why, in their professional opinion, it is in the best interest of both the state and the community to accept some form of implementation of the program and indicated what the impact on local health care will be if it is not. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is complicated, difficult to understand and will certainly need to be changed and modified as time goes by, but when your state is ranked 46th in overall health status in the U.S., surely those who make our laws can sit down with those who provide our health care and find a more serious solution than declaring the concept “null and void.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT • Beaufort County schools are out for the summer, but more than 700 teachers will report back to work this week for three days of intensive training.

This week’s sixth annual Summer Institute, which opens Tuesday at Battery Creek High School, will feature 115 different workshops. Sessions will cover a broad range of topics, including integrating technology into classroom instruction, developing

better student assessments, improving science projects for elementary school students, maximizing parental involvement, building stronger community and business partnerships, building stronger student vocabularies, developing classroom projects using the same tools students would use, and training coaches in CPR and basic first aid.

N’Kia Campbell, who coordinates professional development for the district, said this year’s sessions will build on the previous Summer Institute’s focus on STEM instruction (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and making successful transitions to more rigorous state-mandated academic standards in math and English Language Arts that are being phased in.

“The fact that so many teachers attend Summer Institute demonstrates how committed they are to improving their effectiveness in the classroom,” Campbell said. “They could be enjoying their summer vacation, but instead they’ll be working to improve classroom teaching strategies.”

The Summer Institute’s first day will begin with a general session featuring Jane E. Pollock, president of Learning Horizon, Inc. Pollack, a former educator and senior associate at a research laboratory, specializes in improving student achievement by using research to advance teaching and supervision.

She also is the author of numerous books and other publications.

BOB SOFALY

lowcountry photojournalist focuses on full career

By Anne Christnovich

Bob Sofaly first picked up a camera in 1971 to catch the eye of a crush, but instead, a lifelong love affair with photography developed.

That first camera — which successfully, albeit briefly, wooed his crush — was a Polaroid with peelapart film. He got it, Sofaly said, when his father was stationed at the military base in Junction City, Kansas.

Although Sofaly and family moved from the Midwest, he kept photography as a hobby, transitioning from his Polaroid to a 35 mm rangefinder.

A few years later, Sofaly said he found himself attending the University of South Carolina, with the hope of becoming a Marine Biologist.

“I had it figured out,” he said, chuckling. “I was going to get a degree in Marine Biology and go to work with Jacques Cousteau. ... Me and 10 million other kids.”

As it turned out, biology classes clicked but chemistry did not. He soon realized Marine Biology wasn’t his calling.

Sofaly’s love for taking photos came back to the rescue when he sought help from an advisor who encouraged him to pursue the hobby. Sofaly recalls the meeting as a whirlwind of phone calls and, suddenly, he found himself enrolled in the journalism school.

“It was the one of the best things that ever happened to me,” he said.

While in J-school, Sofaly met Professor Don Woolley, who became his mentor. He was the one who taught Sofaly to shed his fear and get close to a subject.

More than 30 years later, Sofaly sums up Woolley’s secrets to photojournalism like this: “If you’re going to a fire, you should come back smelling like smoke. If you’re going to a car wreck, you should come back with glass stuck under your shoes. Photographers and soldiers are the only people I know of that run toward the sound of gunfire.”

In 1979 — his last year in school — Sofaly said he had a month-long internship at the Beaufort Gazette.

One of his projects was to shoot construction of the McTeer Bridge.

He was in full construction gear

looking for a photographer?

With more than 30 years of photography experience, Bob Sofaly is available for commercial, corporate, private parties, weddings and family and individual portraits. Contact him at bobsofaly@gmail.com or call 843-694-7351.

taking photos at the apex of bridge, he said, when looked around and the scenery and it took his breath away.

“It just hit me then and I said to myself ‘I would really like to live here,’ ” he said.

Sofaly got his wish in December of 1980.

After suddenly quitting a construction job, he found himself back in Woolley’s office for help. His mentor told him a staff photography position had just opened up at the Beaufort Gazette and within a week, he and his wife, Sheila, moved to the area.

“It was those two serendipitous events that lead me and my wife to Beaufort,” he said.

At one point, Sofaly said he considered leaving the Lowcountry and applying for a photojournalism

position at the Charlotte Observer.

He called a contact there and asked him what he saw on his drive home the night before.

The Charlotte journalist said he sat in traffic and saw only the taillights of the cars in front of him and the headlights of the cars idling in the opposite lanes.

“I told him I saw an egret feed on a mullet,” Sofaly said. “Who gets to get stuck in traffic and see something like that?”

Beaufort, at that time, became more than a dream come true for the newlywed couple. Both Sofaly and his wife came from families that moved frequently (Sofaly attended four high schools in three years, he said) and both wanted their future children to be more rooted.

“Both our sons have something we never did: A hometown,” Sofaly

said.

Though he retired from The Beaufort Gazette in 2010, he still does commercial and private work.

Occasionally he strings for The Island News, The Beaufort Gazette and other local publications, too. Through the years, many things have changed insofar as technology and culture, but his role as a photographer, he said, has still required the same core skills.

“I’ve been to 32 Water Festivals — How many different ways can you cover that?” he said. “You have to find ways to be creative and that’s what I like about it.”

Sofaly said he’s the first person to admit that he’s not a big fan of change. In fact, he said, he used to have a saying above his work desk that read, “Resist change at all costs.”

Of course, that’s not always possible in the 21st Century and Sofaly said next that he prides himself on being able to adapt to change — even if he does it a little begrudgingly.

He used to spend more than two hours of his workday processing photos in a dark room. Then came the first digital cameras. He and the other photo staff spent the first few years adapting to digital cameras and the software that would follow them.

“Your phone can take higher resolution photos than (The Beaufort Gazette’s) first digital camera,” he said, laughing. The first digital camera, he said, held 117 photos on the memory card and was 1.3 megapixels. Most cameras in smart phones have 8 megapixels.

After he retired, he started a Facebook page and website for his work. Last week, he got his first smart phone. He and his wife also plan to travel after she retires from Naval Hospital Beaufort in September, he said.

Despite the changes, Sofaly said he looks back on his career with confidence that he found his niche in life.

“There’s that saying: ‘If you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life,’ ” he said.

“When I was working for the paper, I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to do some of the things I did.”

Filipino Arnel Pineda, who was plucked from YouTube to become the front man for iconic American rock band Journey. In this Cinderella story for the ages, Arnel, having overcome a lifetime’s worth of hardships, must now navigate the immense pressures of replacing a legendary singer and leading a world-renowned band on

their most extensive world tour in years. New York Magazine calls the film, “One of the most remarkable rock stories of recent years.”

arts eventS Holistic Shakespeare classes with Dr. Debra Charlton: June 29, July 20, July 27 for serious actors of all ages. Dr. Debra Charlton is the author of “Holistic Shakespeare: An Experiential Learning Approach” (Intellect Books 2012). She is a theatre director, educator and writer whose reviews and articles on Shakespeare training and performance have appeared in numerous publications. Many of her former students have gone on to have successful careers on Broadway and in regional theatre. Teachers are encouraged to participate in these classes too. They will learn strategies for bringing Shakespeare’s plays to life in the classroom.

June 29: Acting Shakespeare’s Text: This text-centered workshop focuses on the acting clues embedded within Shakespeare’s language. Exercises will demystify meter, structure and phrasing, and provide practical tools for creating lucid, dynamic performances that make full use of Shakespeare’s living language.

July 20: Physicalizing Shakespeare: Performing Shakespeare requires a

responsive but relaxed physical instrument.

This workshop explores the relationship between body and text through exercises that unlock creativity and emotional accessibility. In addition, connections between the actor’s 360-degree body and the physical space are discovered through Shakespearean speeches and scenes.

July 27: Shakespeare in Context: Status, alliance, and hierarchy are central concerns for many of Shakespeare’s characters.

Using hands-on exercises, we will unlock the social constructs that influenced Shakespeare’s depiction of character and understand how awareness of context enriches and deepens performance. All the workshops are highly active and experiential. Workshop participants should wear comfortable clothing that allows for full range of unrestricted movement.

Sneakers or bare feet are encouraged.

Please bring a bottle of water and a light snack. Dr. Charlton began her career as a professional actor at Houston’s Alley Theatre. She has since worked on scores of productions, including many of the major

plays from the Shakespeare canon. Charlton earned a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin with a specialization in Shakespearean theatre. $75 per workshop, or a discount for all three of $200. Noon to 3:30, with a 30 minute break in the middle. Register with ARTworks: 843379-2787. ARTworks is located in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street.

Pink, blue and yellow mixed with a dash of you have no idea what you are doing

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

As proud as a preschooler could possibly be, I would stand tall with a shining Cheshire grin after being donned as the esteemed line leader. With dignity and resolve, I led my fellow classmates into the lunch room with confidence and style. It wasn’t until I became a preschool teacher that I had the realization that my consistent appointment to the front of the line was nothing more than surrender on behalf of my teacher.

Obviously smarter than the average bear, she quickly ascertained my inability to follow the leader, remain in the group or keep from getting distracted at the slightest flicker of fluorescent light. It wasn’t my natural leadership skills or my subtle charm that landed me in the highly acclaimed role; however, most likely it was the one chance my teacher had at peace my entire preschool career.

Following the leader, the crowd or even the dotted line is still not in my arsenal of daily tools. Unfortunately, my need to do my own thing has been an underlying theme in all the comedies, tragedies and mysteries amassing the novel of me. Conformity isn’t in my color wheel and status quo makes me itch. Such is fine and dandy, even when it isn’t fine and dandy, until it pertains to my new adventure of motherhood. Not one single book or advice from one single unsolicited source informed me that the underbelly of motherhood is standardized, categorized and tidied up in such a neat pile of precious

little conformity that I may require assistance.

Two things are consistent in my daily routine, I make my bed and I make mistakes. It is who I am. This past weekend I made a mistake that will be with me for the remainder of my days — whether it lingers in my Cherimie muted subconscious or tattooed on Crane Weatherford my forehead, either way, it is there.

My equally naïve husband and I thought a day trip to Babies R Us department store would be a logical next step in preparation for our mini-Weatherford’s arrival. Obviously, not one nearby soul sincerely cares for us — not our family, not our friends and certainly not the lady who met us at the door with a list. Anyone who fancied us at all would have prevented this excursion all together.

This department store of daintily covered death is nothing more than a torture chamber of doubt. Colors of pink, blue and yellow mixed with a sweet dash of you-have-no-idea-what-you-are-doing and plush toys proclaiming one’s highly visible inadequacies reach from floor to ceiling with glee. How can anything that begins with Baby be so evil? As my heart pounded inside my caving chest, I roamed from breast pump to Diaper Genie in a whirlwind of pure chaos. The gatekeeper of this domicile of deception lost both my

husband and me at the mention of wipe warmer. Who warms wipes and why would they do such a thing??

Before I knew what had happened, I had burst into tears begging for my passport. Maybe not the most normal of reactions, but it seemed like the appropriate defense in a world so foreign. Trying to grasp any minuscule amount of remaining dignity, my gentle yet equally bewildered husband did what any pre-parent panicked man could do. He carefully picked up his hissy fit-throwing wife and proceeded to the nearest exit with the promise of chocolate.

God and Winnie the Pooh as my witness, I will never forget the feeling of complete and utter inferiority as a new mommy-to-be as I roamed the aisles of tools, toys and trepidation. Certainly not every soul was born knowing the difference between a bassinet and a bouncer or being well informed on the wide world of wipe warmers and diaper genies.

To anyone who has walked these aisles, absorbed the momentary paralysis that is pre-parent or stared aimlessly at the dizzying displays of diapers, I understand. And to those who have forgotten what it was like to be in those shoes, be gentle, be understanding and be quick to get out of the way should things go awry. We will figure it out, one wipe at a time. We may not know the difference between Pampers and Huggies, but even we know life is all baby steps and we will find our way, just like we found the Babies R Us exit.

letter to the editor Public funds should be used for the public elementary and secondary education system Now that all 2013 graduations (high school and college) have concluded, I would like to congratulate the graduates and all of the persons who helped them achieve this milestone — family, friends and those associated with their respective educational institutions.

Personally, I would like to publicly express my deepest appreciation to the Technical College of the Lowcountry Area Commission, led by General Art Brown, Jr. and Dr. William Small, Jr., and Administration — President Dr. Tom Leitzel — for naming me their 2013 Presidential Medallion recipient. The award bestows “... the College’s highest honor upon individuals who have distinguished themselves through outstanding service in their field and in their community.”

As I stated at the time of the presentation, I accepted this honor on behalf of those who helped fashion my

basic values and continuing development — including my late parents, other family members, former teachers, and those whom I have been privileged to work with in my fields of employment, volunteer and elective service.

I would name names, but would surely get in trouble for overlooking so many.

I believe that all who know and have worked with me know that I strongly believe in the value of education, particularly a public education system that meets the needs of all citizens to become productive contributors to our community/society. (Note: I have never argued against a private education system).

I say this now because I have noticed in the proposed 2013-14 state budget that public funds are being allocated to support expansion of private education in our public Pre-Kindergarten program. I am disappointed, but not

surprised, that there has not been more public debate about this. This is a slippery slope that leads to vouchers and tax credits — which will further undermine efforts to make needed changes/improvements in our public education system.

I hope those who believe in public education and necessary improvements made within it will voice their opinion to the members of our Legislative Delegation.

PUBLIC FUNDS SHOULD BE USED FOR THE PUBLIC ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEM. I hope that there will be a public forum to discuss this and related public education system matters in the near future.

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.

HBF to kick off new project with a cookout Restoration of the last surviving historic commercial building on Bladen Street will begin in July by Historic Beaufort Foundation. The project will commence with a “Kick-off Cookout” block party at the David Schein Store, 702 Bladen Street, Thursday, June 27, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. The public is invited.

The 3,200-square-foot building, which housed Coastal Contractors until 2006, will be stabilized by the Foundation and marketed for sale. The empty block in which it stands has been targeted by the City of Beaufort for commercial development. The block is part of the primarily residential Midtown Square development owned by Steve Tully and John Trask III who have partnered with HBF to promote the project.

Bladen Street was the principal business street west of downtown, in the heart of “Ward Six,” a predominantly African-American area. The three blocks of Bladen

from Bay Street to Duke Street were part of Beaufort’s original town plan in 1711, according to research by former HBF executive director Evan Thompson.

In 1801, the Trustees of Beaufort College took ownership of vacant lots in Beaufort including this one. Although lots sold in 1801, the area remained undeveloped until after the Civil War and nothing was built at 702 Bladen until David Schein built his store in 1912.

The building will be restored to its two-story, gable fronted form with wood siding and possibly a metal roof, as funding allows. Non-structural walls, dropped ceilings and tiled floors will be removed to expose the original floor plan, ceiling heights and wooden floors.

Windows and entrances that were moved or covered in the past will be restored, including the original storefront entry.

Cemetery in Beaufort, SC. The Reverend Jeffrey S. Miller, Parish Rector, and Carroll Crowther, President of the South Carolina Society SAR, led the ceremony.

HBF Board chairman Conway Ivy said the Foundation is excited to “demonstrate with a high visibility project that preservation can take a building that many view as having no value and making it a positive contributing factor in the neighborhood.”

Some in city government have criticized HBF for not supporting the Civic Master Plan’s goal of redevelopment of our neighborhoods, said HBF executive director Maxine Lutz. “This project and a second stabilization project on Duke Street that is expected to begin this summer illustrate that we are willing to work to find the resources to implement the city’s goals.”

A Beaufort native, Freeman is one of four boys; his mother, Sholanda Freeman, heard about the scholarship from a colleague. He plans to spend his freshman year at Clark Atlanta University and then transfer to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where he can audition for music videos while pursuing his study of business and dance.

The Len Miret scholarship was begun to commemorate the life of its namesake, a beloved youth soccer coach, who passed away at just 38 years old in 2006 after a five-year battle with cancer.

Gazdak met Miret when Miret worked for him in the late 1990s. “Len was a guy who never had a bad 22

thing to say about anyone,” Gazdak recalls. “Always had a smile, was always friendly, and it was always genuine.”

Miret’s wife, Cathleen, conceived of the idea of a scholarship to memorialize her late husband. At first, only Miret’s family members were involved with the

fund, but later Gazdak recruited others to participate, and some of Miret’s high school buddies joined in.

According to the scholarship’s website, it is meant to commemorate “the life of a man who was committed to his family and friends and dedicated to the development of young athletes. Not only did Len play soccer, he coached the game for many years. He believed that participation improved physical skills, mental acuity, and responsible social interaction.”

Scholarship criteria include demonstrated financial need, participation in a varsity sport for two years, an unweighted 85% grade point average, community service, and acceptance at a four-year college or a twoyear community college.

Gazdak admits he was dubious about Freeman’s application initially because of the scholarship’s athletic requirement; dancing had never before been considered an athletic endeavor. But he and the other directors were won over, and now, Freeman says, since his graduation, he feels “free. I can’t wait to start my life.

I’m looking forward to opening a successful studio after college” — a pursuit Len Miret likely would approve.

The Lunch Bunch was lucky enough to dine at Lowcountry Produce last week, and the unique flavor combinations and fresh, local ingredients always make eating here a worthwhile experience.

wine

A Spanish wine that’s simply ‘Malvar-lous’

By Celia Strong

Yep, Malvar-lous! And don’t go guessing that I might be wine tasting while I’m wine writing. How could anyone think that a word like that meant there was any alcohol involved? And, certainly not with me! But, Malvar-lous it is. For our wine this week, anyhow.

And, just imagine what my good old spell checker is doing too! I’ll probably have to give him a glass or two before this is all finished. Really! That’s just too much.

But this nice new wine is from Spain and, really, it is Malvar-lous. (I figure I have to keep using that word so you will remember the name more easily.) Let’s learn about Spanish wines, and a new grape variety.

Our trip this week takes us to a Spanish region that we have not visited before — the DO (Denominación de Origen) known as Vinos de Madrid, declared in 1990. Despite all the things that Madrid is known for, being a great wine region is not one of them. But, for us, this is a good thing. Not being known as a great wine region can also mean not expensive wines. Yay! This area is located as close to the center of the country as you can get. It covers 54 municipalities and has three subzones (Arganda, Navalcarnero, and San Martin) that each make different types of wines.

Historically, ancient Romans probably introduced grape growing and winemaking here, just like they did in the rest of the Iberian peninsula. I say probably because the documented evidence of wine in the Madrid area comes from the 13th century, much later than most other areas’ first records of it. The record, though, is a legal document regarding a dispute between some monks and a local feudal lord over the ownership of a vineyard. There are about 650 acres of vines in the DO, and 90 percent of them are grown organically.

For some, in the wine business and not, this DO is quickly becoming a little gem of a region — good wines at lower than normal costs.

Going back to the three sub-zones, quickly, the Arganda makes red wines

out of Tempranillo with a few others

and white wines from Airén and Malvar and some others. This is the largest subzone and has about 50 percent of the DO’s vineyards. It also has 26 of the municipalities. Its soil is clay and lime over a granite subsoil. Of the three subzones, this one gets the least rainfall.

The Navalcarnero makes red wines from Garnacha (Spanish for Grenache) and others and white wine from Airén and others. (Airén is a popular white variety in Spain, we just don’t see much of it.)

This area has only 15 percent of the total vines in the DO, and its soil is rich and dark but low in nutrients. The third subzone, San Martin, also grows Garnacha for red wines and Albilo for whites.

There are 35 percent of the vines here and they get the most rainfall because of their location in the mountains. All of this is part of what makes our wine what it is, but, no, there will not be a test

“A Health Savings Account could be a very good idea for you”

This week’s wine is made in the Spanish region known as Vinos de Madrid. The white grape variety is known as Malvar, and the wine is called Zestos Malvar. The grapes for this Malvar wine are all organically grown. next week.

Now, I have to wonder if we picked up on the name of our grape in any of those sub-zones. If we did, Malvar-lous! It is the white variety Malvar. An obscure one for sure. It is grown mostly in the Vinos de Madrid DO, with nearly 6,200 acres planted by the end of the 20th century. Some research says that Malvar is indigenous to this area.

The majority of its vines are at higher altitudes, up to 2,000 feet, because it seems to grow better there. Better acids and more flavors do make for better wines.

The wines from Malvar tend to be medium bodied, not the weight of Chardonnay and not as light as Pinot Grigio. The grapes require a relatively long growing season, so they are better suited to Mediterranean climates. These wines tend to have full aromatics and good acidity.

Our wine, finally, is Zestos Malvar.

The name “zestos” means basket in English. When you try this wine, you will see that the label is a drawing of vineyard workers, years ago, carrying harvested grapes in large baskets on their backs, taking them to a winery. The grapes for this Malvar wine are organically grown, although you won’t find that tidbit on the label, and their vines are, on average, 35 years old. (They were planted in 1974.) The grapes are macerated for 12 hours and, then, fermented at a cool 50 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 days, half in stainless steel and half in cement tanks.

The stainless steel lets the wine retain the stone fruit flavors of the grape, and doesn’t add any others, and the cement tanks allow for the softest process of micro-oxygenation — fancy words for “keep the acidity fresher.”

The harvest of the current vintage took place during the first week in October,

two weeks earlier than normal, but late

by European standards. This wine has peach, nectarine and orange scents. Its flavors include, beyond the peach and nectarine, lemon zest, blanched almonds and lychée nuts. It is smooth and broad textured in your mouth, with a great acidity that keeps you sipping and sipping.

And Zestos Malvar is great with food, too. A tasting at the Zestos winery included a salad with watermelon, avocado, cucumber and almonds, mixed with herbs and spices. And, then, grilled chicken breasts that were marinated in lemon juice, garlic, parsley and pimentos.

With fried potatoes. Sounds to me like we need to get our shopping baskets (zestos) and get ready for dinner.

Just in case you have one red wine diehard drinker at your dinner, go ahead and try the Zestos Garnacha. It’s 100 percent Garnacha from vines that are 40 to 50 years old. And, while the Malvar is from the Arganda sub-zone of the Vinos de Madrid DO, the red wine grapes are from the San Martin sub-zone. This wine is juicy in your mouth with dark red fruit flavors. An easy drinking red, the Zestos Garnacha will also pair well with pizza, quesadillas, sausages, and, my absolute favorite, Machego cheese.

Malvar-lous!

Of these two wines, only 1,500 cases of Malvar are made each year, and 30,000 of the Garnacha. Obviously, we have to, quickly, try them. The Malvar especially.

Need to be sure they send enough of those cases to South Carolina. And, as I mentioned earlier, it can be done fairly easily because they are so well priced.

With both of them at $8.99 a bottle, we can buy an extra bottle so we don’t run out. Or so we can drink it. Or give the spell checker his glass. Absolutely Malvar-lous wines! Enjoy.

Evelyn Mitchell

Evelyn Murdaugh Mitchell, widow of William Cecil Mitchell, died peacefully at her home on June 8, 2013, with loving family at her side.

She was born in Islandton, South Carolina on October 3, 1916. Mrs. Mitchell, the eldest daughter of Hallie and Annie Murdaugh, was raised in Colleton County where she graduated high school and then went on to business school in Columbia, South Carolina. She returned to Colleton County and while out for a Sunday ride with her father, came to Beaufort where she met the love of her life, Cecil, whom she married in April 1942. They had two children.

Mrs. Mitchell is survived by her children, William Cecil “Red” Mitchell, Jr. and his wife Marjorie, and David Carl “Mac” Mitchell and his wife Nancy Sadler. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Meredith Evelyn Mitchell, and her husband Kelley Adams; William Cecil Mitchell III and his wife Maggie; Patrick Gates Mitchell and his wife Abby; Julia Mitchell Renken and her husband Robby; Evelyn Murdaugh Mitchell and her husband Craig Link; and David Carl Mitchell,Jr. The lights of her life were her greatgrandchildren Margaret Evelyn Adams, Amelia Catherine Mitchell, Eleanor Hollis Mitchell, and Parker Gates Mitchell. Her brother, Howard Murdaugh and his wife Cora and his sister-in-law Barbara Murdaugh also survive their sister. She was predeceased by her sister Vernelle Mills, and her brothers Joseph, Eugene, Clinton, and Jackie. She has nieces and nephews (and grandnieces and grandnephews) too numerous to count, that held such special places in her heart.

Mrs. Mitchell was a remarkable woman in many ways. She raised her sons with a love that knew no bounds, encouraging them through every day.

She opened House and Garden Gift shop in 1968 and ran it with her daughter-inlaw Marjorie, until she retired at age 89.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

How did we get there? Part I When early wolf-derivatives first joined us around the fire back in the Way Back, they were eating the same foods we were. And the other way around. But as we moved indoors and our methods of consumption became more evolved, so did that of our dogs.

During the Middle Ages both man and dog ate via “trencher feeding.” As only the very rich had table service and cutlery, common man would eat his meals from a trencher. A trencher was a long flat loaf of bread. When finished with a meal, he would toss the trencher and any remaining bones to the dogs. Not a bad deal for the dog.

Dogs generally ate whatever food was available in their environment. For farm dogs, this could include raw meat scraps, raw milk, eggs and food found scavenging.

City dogs probably depended on scraps from the owners’ table, vermin, and offal and cheap cuts of raw meat from the butcher. Only those dogs owned by the very rich or royalty had meals specially prepared for them.

The first processed dog food was the brainchild of an Ohio electrician named James Spratt. In 1860, while in London selling his lightning rods, Mr. Spratt noticed a pack of stray dogs swarming the London docks eating the discarded, moldy hard tack thrown off the ships by sailors.

Spratt went home and concocted a biscuit of wheat, beetroot, vegetables and beef blood. The name of this new product was called Spratt’s Patent Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes. His biscuits came in a tin decorated with pictures of terriers, and sported the legend “My Faithful Friend’s Own Biscuit

BowWOW!

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath.

Box”, the first appearance of marketing in the pet food world.

In 1907, F.H. Bennett introduced “Milk Bone” dog biscuits as a “complete food.”

Mr. Spratt’s Patent Fibrine Dog Cakes and Milk Bone biscuits remained the big guns in the dog food game until the 1920’s.

As automobile power soon replaced horsepower, Ken-L-Ration introduced canned horsemeat as dog food. World War I cramped Ken-L-Ration’s canned horsemeat business, not because horses were need on the battlefield but because of the shortage of tin for the cans.

Dry food was introduced in 1946. In the post-war boom, mill operators and grain dealers found a good source for their byproducts — the stuff on the floor and the stuff they couldn’t otherwise sell — in the dog food industry. Slaughterhouses found they were able to sell non-human grade, diseased meats, unusable parts, and meat by-products to pet food manufacturers.

This created a market for products that previously been garbage. Since many of these meat sources were non-human grade, the practice became common to mix these with the grains and cook them together for many hours or days to kill

PET OF THE WEEK Toby is a 2 year old grey and white Domestic Short Hair.

vermin and bacteria. The final mix was then formed into pellets that were easily bagged for convenience of feeding.

In 1957, Purina perfected the extrusion method of manufacture. The extrusion process combined and cooked the ingredients together in a liquid form, and then mechanically pushed it through an extruder that expanded the piece of dog food with air, and then baked them again.

These dog food pieces were much larger and lighter than the pellets, giving an appearance of ‘more for your money’. Most of us have little memory of dog food before Purina Dog “Chow”.

An active campaign was developed in 1964 through the “Pet Food Institute”, the organization representing pet food manufacturers, to inform the public of the dangers of table food scraps, and the

importance of feeding processed dog food.

This was accomplished through press releases to 1,000 newspapers, articles in 16 magazines, including Redbook and Good Housekeeping and airing this information on 91 radio stations. Many of us were indoctrinated in our childhoods to the idea that “packaged is better.”

Continuing marketing strategies included using celebrities in television commercials, making dog foods that produced their own ‘gravy’ when water is added, making dog kibble into various shapes, and using dyes in the dog food so it would look ‘natural’ and pleasing to a dog owner’s eyes. Pet food ads were appearing regularly in the media and designs were developed more to attract the owner’s idea of a tasty and visually attractive meal than for the dogs’ health. Pet food sales moved from the feed stores to the grocery stores, with bright labels and appealing pictures.

The marketing strategies were paying off, and soon pet food sales were surpassing the amount of money spent on baby food.

Interestingly, at the same time, on the human food front, colorful and sugary cereals for children were also making inroads.

Next time: From then until now.
