St. Helena man sentenced to life A 37-year-old St. Helena Island man will spend the rest of his life in prison for sexually abusing two boys over a two-year period.

After nearly six hours of deliberation, the jury returned Thursday evening to convict James Simmons, Jr. of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor. The abuse was ongoing from 2009 to 2010 at a home on Seaside Road when the boys were 7- to 9-years-old.

In 2011, the victims disclosed to a family member that they had been abused by Simmons while in his care.

The family member contacted the

James Simmons, Jr.

Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office and the victims were interviewed by specialists at Hope Haven, who found their stories to be consistent and credible. Simmons was arrested and

charged in 2012.

“One of our jobs as prosecutors is to protect the most vulnerable in our society,” said assistant solicitor Mary Jordan Lempesis. “I am proud of the children in this case for having

the courage to tell their story and to prevent this dangerous man from hurting anyone else. The jury carefully deliberated the facts of this case and delivered a verdict that ensured these children’s bravery would be rewarded with justice.”

Based on the charges, Simmons faced a minimum of 25 years in prison.

At the conclusion of the three-day trial, Judge Carmen Mullen handed down the maximum sentence, life in prison.

Simmons had prior convictions for criminal domestic violence and malicious injury to personal property.

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting incident that occurred at a St. Helena home late last Wednesday night.

Deputies responded to the residence at 79 Shiney Rd at approximately 11:30 p.m. last night in reference to a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, deputies met with the 40-year-old female homeowner and her 14-year old son who advised that unknown person(s) had fired shots into their home from outside.

The complainant reported she was lying in bed when she heard gunshots entering her home. She dropped to the floor and crawled out to find her son, who had been in his bedroom. After determining that no one had been injured, they discovered that there were numerous holes in exterior wall of the home’s living room, and that several projectiles had penetrated the wall and embedded in a couch.

The victims were unable to provide any suspect description; however, the juvenile victim did report having recently been involved in a physical altercation with another juvenile subject, who did make threats to shoot the victim. No injuries were reported as a result of the shooting, and approximately $1,300 in estimated damages to the home was sustained.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Staff Sgt. J. Fraser at 843-255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

New director of county PALS announced

The pedestrian killed in last Wednesday’s early morning traffic collision on Hwy 21 has been identified.

The Beaufort County Coroner’s Office has confirmed the identity of the man killed as 68-year-old Juan Vargas of Seabrook.

Vargas was walking on Hwy 21 when he was struck and killed by an SC Highway Patrol man just before 5 a.m.

Trooper First Class D.W. Stephens was traveling Southbound on Hwy 21 when his patrol vehicle struck Vargas.

A witness reported that Stephens was traveling at a “very reasonable speed not exceeding the posted speed limit.” Upon seeing the trooper come to a sudden stop in the roadway, the witness also stopped to assist the trooper who was attending to the stricken Vargas.

Reconstruction of the accident scene suggested that Vargas was walking approximately 2 ft. into the immediate roadway at the time of the collision. It was noted that not only was there no street lighting present, but also that Vargas was wearing dark clothing. There were no signs of the trooper’s vehicle leaving the roadway at any time. Based on the evidence and corroborating statements, it was determined that Trooper Stephens was not at fault for the collision.

Preliminary autopsy reports indicate Vargas died as a result of blunt force trauma consistent with being struck by a vehicle. The investigation has concluded, however, the case will remain active pending the receipt of the toxicology report.

Beaufort County Administrator Gary Kubic announced last week that Scott Marshall will be the new Parks and Leisure Services (PALS) Director.

“Scott is the perfect candidate for this position. He is familiar with Beaufort County but will be able to look at the PALS Department with a fresh set of eyes. He will be able to enter his new position and really take charge”, said Gary Kubic.

Mr. Marshall has been employed with Beaufort County since June of 2009 as Executive Director of the Board of Elections and Registration. He will lead both departments until an interim director for the Board of Elections and Registration is named.

Suspicious fire being investigated The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a fire that damaged a Laurel Bay Road business early Monday, June 24.

At approximately 4 a.m .this morning, Sheriff ’s deputies and firefighters responded to 500 Laurel Bay Road (the restaurant formerly known as Billits Pizza) in reference to a report of smoke and flames seen rising from the rear of the building.

As firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, roadways surrounding the area (Mroz Road and parts of Laurel Bay Road and Capehart Circle) were closed to traffic.

Once the fire was effectively contained and extinguished, members of the fire department’s investigative team were able to assess the scene, determining that the fire appeared to be suspicious in nature.

It was noted that the building, which

Prince Street house burns after likely lightning strike Lightning may have sparked the blaze that gutted a house in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District late last Wednesday night, fire officials said today.

The house in the 500 block of Prince Street wasn’t occupied at the time but witnesses to the fire told firefighters the structure had recently sold and was scheduled to have tenants move in next week.

Neighbors reported a very loud bang consistent with the sound of a lightning strike earlier Wednesday, June

19, afternoon when a series of severe storms rolled through the Lowcountry.

Lightning strike software used by the Beaufort Fire Department revealed a lightning strike within 25 meters of the structure around 3:41 p.m. Wednesday, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said.

Neighbors also informed fire investigators of a wood-burning smell during the early hours of the evening.

Fire officials ruled this fire as accidental in nature.

“It appears this house fire most likely

started from storm lightning,” Negron said. “Our firefighters worked hard to contain the fire, which is a tremendous concern in the Historic District where sometimes the homes are so close together and fire can jump from lot to lot.”

Shortly after 11 p.m. last Wednesday, the Beaufort Fire Department responded to a call about a house on fire on the Old Point section of historic Beaufort. Upon arrival, firefighters found a single story family dwelling where flames already were shooting through the roof, Negron

said.

Firefighters from Beaufort Fire Department and Burton Fire District brought the fire under control in about 30 minutes. However, it took four hours to completely extinguish the blaze and smoldering remains, partly because the roof completely collapsed during the fire. This prevented firefighters from entering the building to fight the fire.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the fire, Negron said. Assisting in the fire operation were Beaufort Police and Beaufort County EMS.

and the South Carolina Department of Commerce for pulled together to make it happen, bringing in hundreds of new jobs to our area.”

Since January 2011, South Carolina has recruited more than $5 billion in capital investment and more than 8,000 jobs in the automotive-related sector.

“We are very excited that EcoDual has chosen Beaufort County as their location and look forward to many successful years of business growth,” said Paul Sommerville, Chairman Beaufort County Council. “It is a great time to welcome new high skill manufacturing to our region.”

The company will work with readySC on hiring and training workers. Qualified applicants should inquire about job

opportunities at EcoDual by contacting careers@ecodual.com.

Rep. Shannon Erickson said she is proud of the coalition of people who came together to make the partnership happen. “Beaufort County is open for business; this is a day to celebrate.”

Doug Thompson, a founding partner of EcoDual, thanked the local leadership that worked tirelessly to answer his company’s questions and he said “South Carolina is a fantastic place to start and grow a new business.”

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling talked about how local groups have merged in the past year and a half to focus on economic development. And even though it threatened rain outside, “It’s a sunny day in my life,” he said.

EcoDual will build a permanent facility in the Beaufort Commerce Park within the next 18 months. The permanent facility will be located on 12 acres in the commerce park and housed in a 100,000-square-foot facility.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for Beaufort County and our region,” said Blakely Williams, Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. “We are excited to have this amazing technology in our community and we thank the Lowcountry Economic Alliance, Beaufort County,

In order to provide the adequate equipment for research and development, Beaufort County Council is purchasing emissions testing equipment and a diesel dynometer.

The equipment will be used by EcoDual to do necessary testing for product development. EcoDual is currently working with Clemson Univerisity/ CUICAR to provide data analysis as needed for further research and development efforts. This large diesel engine testing equipment and dynometer are not available in South Carolina today. This equipment will be a tremendous asset to EcoDual as well as a community asset for additional company recruitment.

Suck it up, buttercup

By Martha O’Regan

“Suck it up, buttercup.”

Ahhh ... what fabulous words of wisdom, don’t you think? Maybe not for everything we encounter in life but certainly in those moments where we get way too consumed by daily minutiae or with those folks who, from our perspective, “just don’t get it.”

I recently overheard a recap of a phone call between a woman and her life coach where this was the advice so graciously given — and just as graciously received.

The woman had called her coach to get some guidance in dealing with what I would personally call a rude houseguest. This house guest was a nephew who maybe had simply never learned how to be a gracious receiver and the hostess was getting more put out by the moment. After sharing for several minutes all the “wrongs” of this young man who obviously didn’t “get it,” this wise coach simply said, “suck it up, buttercup,” meaning move on and don’t let this annoyance ruin your day or life.

The woman, quite surprised, then asked, “Did you just say suck it up, buttercup?”

When the coach replied, “yep,” the woman simply said, “OK then ... buttercup signing off.”

As I listened to their recap, I heard

Live Well ... Have Fun We can never change others. We can only choose change

for ourselves. Sometimes, that choice comes in the form of acceptance, a shift in perspective, or just sucking it up and letting it go in those moments of annoyance.

Offering a unique approach to your active health care needs using a variety of healing modalities, nutritional and wellness coaching for a new state of health and wellbeing. 73 Sams Point Road, 524-2554.

nothing but gratitude for this simple advice as it was just what she needed to shift the energy in the moment, which ultimately shifted the energy for the day, the household, her mood, etc. The coach admitted that she uses her own statement often in her own life when she realizes she is getting too hung up in things she cannot change nor are that important to change, and decided this was a perfect moment to share it.

For the days following that conversation, I have found myself giggling at the statement and even saying it to myself in similar moments, when I too, get so bogged down in the details that I forget to see the grand scheme of it all.

We all have situations or people who show up in our lives that will try to tweak our last nerve if we let them. However,

It Pays to Live at Bay South! $500 Can Be Yours!!!

we are then giving it a whole lot of power over our health and well-being, especially if the tweaking last hours, days, weeks, years or decades, ultimately affecting our physiology. When we learn how to manage these annoyances, we take our power back and are able to find more joy and even compassion in the face of it. Observing ourselves while in the presence of an irritating behavior or challenging situation allows us the opportunity to choose whether we take it as a personal assault or as an opportunity to practice my personal favorite, “non-judgmental compassion.”

Simply put, we are who we are based on the “big people” in our lives during those formative years and all subsequent people and experiences since. Most likely there are some of you thinking, “Oh s#*t, I don’t stand a chance,” based on some of your “big people.” But, no worries, you are still here so there must be more to learn. By the way, your big people are who they are because of their big people, which does help towards that non-

judgmental compassion part. So, rather than holding judgment that someone is wrong or bad, we learn to accept them for who they are and where they came from — their own “big people” and life lessons.

We can never change others. We can only choose change for ourselves.

Sometimes, that choice comes in the form of acceptance, a shift in perspective, or just sucking it up and letting it go in those moments of annoyance. I might add here that, personally, I would be very selective in using my “out loud” voice when sharing “suck it up, buttercup” to others. In the conversation that I have shared, it worked, but my gut tells me that the sentiment may get lost with others — based on their “big people” perspective.

A fun note is that the flower symbolism associated with buttercups is humility, neatness and childishness. I think we can all afford to suck a little of all of that up in our lives!

Live Well ... Have Fun!

The ASPCA strongly advises pet owners to take the necessary precautions for this highly active hurricane season by securing essential supplies and establishing an emergency plan in advance of a disaster.

The ASPCA offers the following tips on hurricane preparedness: • Always bring pets indoors at the first sign or warning of a storm or disaster.

• Make sure all pets wear collars and ID tags with up-to-date identification.

• The ASPCA also recommends micro-chipping your pet as a more permanent form of I.D. • Obtain a rescue alert sticker, which will let rescuers know that pets are inside your home.

• Keep a pet emergency kit and supplies handy with items such as medical records, water, pet food and medications, and pet first aid supplies.

• Arrange a safe haven for your pets in the event of evacuation. Do not leave your pets behind.

• Choose a designated caregiver who can take care of your pet in the event you are unable.

Choosing a car for your teen

By State Farm™

Cost considerations aside, it’s not a good idea for newly licensed drivers to immediately have their own car. For one thing, you may be sending your teen a message that having a car and driving immediately is a right he or she is entitled to — rather than a privilege that is earned along with experience.

It’s a much safer and wiser plan to have your teen establish a safe driving record before you give your teen free reign of the roadways.

All new drivers are at the highest risk of getting into a crash during the first six months after receiving their license.

Don’t be in a rush to give your teen the privilege of independent driving in all conditions and situations right away and not in his or her own vehicle. Read additional helpful insights on setting house rules.

We know you spend a lot of time and effort driving your children around and many look forward to their teen being able to help with some of these responsibilities. But it’s worth waiting a few months more to keep your teen and your car safe!

Crashes • In their first year on the road, teens are almost 10 times more likely to be in a crash.

• 20 percent of 11th graders report

crashes among teenagers: by the numbers

20 61 1 in 4

Percentage of 11th graders who report being in a crash as a driver in the past year

Percentage of 9th through 11th graders who share their vehicle with someone else

being in a crash as a driver in the past year.

• 25 percent of ninth graders report being in a crash as a passenger in their lifetimes.

• Crash risk increases incrementally with each mile per hour over the speed limit.

• Current data on crashes involving 16-year-old drivers shows that having multiple teen passengers in the vehicle is twice as likely to cause a fatal crash as alcohol-impaired driving.

• Crashes are more common among young drivers than any other age group.

In the United States, one in four crash fatalities involves someone 16 to 24 years old, nearly twice as high as other age groups.

Guidelines on cars When the time is right to help your teen pick out a car, here are some guidelines on the best cars for teens:

Auto loans that really perform.

Number of crash fatalities in the United States that involves someone 16 to 24 years old, nearly twice as high as other age groups.

• Avoid cars that have a sporty, performance-type image. These vehicles can encourage young drivers to speed and test their performance. SUVs and pickup trucks are also not the best choice for a teenager. While they may seem a safe choice because of their size and weight, they’re actually more likely to roll over in a crash. A teen driver’s high crash rate and an SUV’s high rollover rate can be a deadly combination.

• Later-model mid- and full-size passenger cars are good choices since they offer sufficient weight, as well as updated safety features. Small cars offer less crash protection because of their size/weight. Look for a car that has other air bags in addition to the standard driver and passenger airbags: Side and curtain air bags add an extra measure of crash protection.

• Other safety features that might benefit your teen are Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-lock Braking

System (ABS), as well as intelligent seat belt reminder systems that make it difficult or annoying to drive without all occupants wearing their seat belts.

When you find a car that seems like a good choice, be sure to check safety ratings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www. nhtsa.gov) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (http://www.iihs. org/).

A word about finances From the National Young Driver Survey, we learned that 61 percent of 9th through 11th graders share the vehicle they drive most often with someone else.

Only about half of them said they’re responsible for fuel costs; however, only about 25 percent were responsible for paying any maintenance or repair costs.

Other research shows that awareness of the existence of monetary fines for traffic offenses can be a strong incentive for improving driving safety. Likewise, parents can use the costs associated with driving as a bargaining point. For example, you can agree to cover gas, as long as your son or daughter adheres to the terms of the parent/teen driving agreement.

Annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR)

JANUARY 1, 2012 TO DECEMBER 31, 2012 Harbor Island 0750013

We are pleased to present to you this year’s annual Consumer Confidence Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of water and services we deliver to you everyday.

Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) provides our water, with its source being the Savannah River; the raw water is treated at the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant. The river water travels 18 miles via open canal to the water plant located in the Chelsea area. The Chelsea Water Treatment Plant provides up to 24 million gallons per day (mgd) to residences and businesses in northern Beaufort County. This plant can also be used to supplement water supplies in southern Beaufort County as necessary. BJWSA’s annual report is available for your review at www.bjwsa.org. This report details our water quality and what it means. In addition to BJWSA testing, Harbor Island Utilities routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring, minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. These substances can include microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and radioactive substances.

All drinking water including bottled water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.

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

from usc to the detroit lions,

this local football star

honors his lowcountry roots

By Carson Moore Devin Taylor is a hard man to miss. At last Saturday’s Devin Taylor Appreciation Day celebration, he towered over the crowds of people who had lined up to meet their hometown hero.

Standing tall at 6’7”, Taylor initially presents quite an imposing figure, but the moment he smiles and shakes your hand, it’s evident that he’s simply glad to be back in the Lowcountry, around the people and places he calls home.

A Beaufort native, Devin Taylor enjoys every opportunity he gets to revisit his hometown.

“The best thing about Beaufort,” he said, “is just the general experience. Not many people have the opportunity to say they come from a place like this.”

Having attended the University of South Carolina, Taylor graduated with a degree in integrated information technology. His interest in technology extends beyond the classroom. “He always tries to get his hands on the newest things out on the market,” said Tanner Powell, a rising USC freshman and close friend of Taylor’s. “He loves technology.”

Like many of the kids who grew up here, Taylor also visits home to relax and have a good time, and has many interests beyond the latest electronics. “I like to do normal stuff,” he chuckles, “I go fishing, mud racing, hiking, and sometimes hunting.” He uses the rest of his spare time to hang out at the sandbar, where he can often be seen cooling down in the water or taking it easy on a boat with friends.

Aside from recognizing his hometown as a place to come and escape everyday life, the football star acknowledges that his roots are deeply embedded in Beaufort.

Taylor’s name is known in every household in the town, and he’s often the center of attention when he visits. People flock to him to take pictures and snag autographs, and not a single one comes away from it unimpressed.

Powell describes him as being, “introverted until you get to know him, then you see that he’s funny in his own way.”

Kristy Kelnhofer, a local schoolteacher, also speaks fondly of Taylor. “He [Devin] has always been a quiet leader, leading with actions, not with words. He sets a wonderful example for others to look up to.”

Taylor wasn’t always such a prominent public figure, however. His initial introduction to football came on the Lady’s Island Middle School field, under the guidance of local coach Jerry Hatcher.

Coach Hatcher proved to be an important source of inspiration for Taylor as he moved up the football food chain, shaping him as a player as he transitioned to Beaufort High School. “Coach [Hatcher] has been there for me all through middle and high school,” Taylor explained, “He really pushed me to play well.”

It seems like Coach Hatcher’s lessons have paid

16

Devin Taylor was #98 for the USC Gamecocks

off in the long run. In his senior year of high school, Taylor took the Beaufort High team to the state championships, and earned recognition on the AllState team. He was a hero among the students at Beaufort High, as well as the local football fans. In fact, his time as a defensive-end on the high school team was so impressive, that it earned him a place on the USC Gamecocks, where he earned notoriety as a Freshman All-SEC player and third team AllAmerican, as well as first team All-SEC in 2010.

For the first time, Taylor was on the national stage, playing football in front of thousands of fans and millions of at-home viewers.

However, the stresses of constantly being in the limelight don’t faze Taylor in the slightest. “You’re always in sight, no matter where you are,” he explains, “You’ve just got to stay positive and be a good representative of your team.”

This philosophy has followed him from his place on the Gamecocks college team to his new role as a professional football player for the Detroit Lion.

For Taylor, playing for the Lions is a dream job.

“The best part of playing for the NFL?” he laughs, “Definitely playing for the NFL ... that’s pretty cool in itself !”

Although he might play for a new team, Devin Taylor keeps his home and the people who’ve helped him along the way close to his heart. On his wrist, along with numerous other rubber bands declaring the causes he supports, are two bands that stand out to locals: a dark green Beaufort High School band and a garnet USC Gamecocks football bracelet.

As for the future, Taylor’s got one goal in mind: “I’m just going to make the team [the Lions],” he said, “I’m going to play.”

Fondness for the flag appropriate for the Fourth

By Pamela Brownstein

For a while now, our toddler, Wolfe, has been interested in flags. He especially admires the large ones that hang outside of houses (specifically our neighbor’s American flag, which he makes a point of visiting at least once a day).

But we didn’t realize the full extent of his obsession until this summer, when stores are full of flags and patriotic paraphernalia. Earlier this month, on a trip to Walgreens, Wolfe stopped, mesmerized before a display of flags. We took one home, and it surprised me how much he actually likes it. He carries it around everywhere, I think he even took it in the bath once, and he cries when we take it away before bed.

Pam’s P.O.V.

Pamela Brownstein is a 5-foot-tall Scorpio who loves Beaufort and is trying to figure out this whole parenting thing. You can contact her at theislandnews@gmail.com.

I indulged his obsession by buying him a shirt with a giant American flag on it, and he wore it to Beaufort’s Flag Day celebration downtown. He was amazed at the multitude of flags there, and didn’t understand why he couldn’t have them all.

Last Saturday, on a trip to Lowe’s, he became excited as we passed another flag display. (Honestly, it’s still a little funny to me because it’s probably the last thing I would notice.) His wonder is so genuine though, it’s hard not to find it

completely endearing. So we took home another flag. A bigger one this time.

The next day, Sunday, on a trip to Walmart, Wolfe probably felt like he was walking into heaven, and my husband

and I discovered too late that we were walking into a danger zone because there were literally flags everywhere. I placated his hysterics by hastily handing him a flag, only to find out at the checkout that that flag was only for display, and when we took it away, you would have thought the world was over.

I reminded myself to stay away from stores between now and July Fourth, and then I thought that it will be exciting to take him to his first Independence Day celebration, where he can wave his flag and see Old Glory in all her, well, glory.

I’m sure this will be the first of many passing phases in Wolfe’s life, but it’s one that I want to remember: Our AllAmerican Boy who freaks out over flags.

Guess I am just curious as to why people bother coming to the Street Music in Port Royal when all they want to do is talk and talk loudly. No, we are not in a concert hall or such but common courtesy still would be appreciated. Take your loud conversations away for the area where we are sincerely thankful for and interested in the music. The ladies last Saturday night were great. Their music was fantastic. It was a beautiful evening with a cooling Lowcountry breeze only hindered by the excess noise.

letter to the editor Pastor thanks those in community who helped, supported TLC Thrift Store

Where does one start when so much has happened in the past 14 years with TLC Ministries? Our TLC Thrift store has had the opportunity to be a part of such a great community, and time after time, as our staff stood out front, you all gave endlessly to help those around you in need. I have to say thank you as I sit here in tears, and I have to always remember that His word is alive in our hearts.

This morning, as I prayed for direction, I reached out to an elder, a friend, someone who sees beyond the scope of what we are capable of as men and women at times, he sees the greater part of what God created. Understand this opportunity to say thank you came from someone special — you and I in this community have all given to the needs of each other in such a great way.

I first want to thank all of the staff and students who never gave up — the seemingly endless hours of keeping the store open six days a week, vacuuming, cleaning, sorting, loading, unloading, deliveries, pick-ups, coffeehouse on Fridays, prayer in the mornings, and the list seems endless. I thank you all for your commitment first to Christ and then to TLC Thrift Store. A special thank you to our committed friend to the end, Paul Trask.

Thank you so much for your help during our struggles, and your grace in the end. Without your help, many lives would not have been changed. I remain forever grateful.

Although I chose to thank my staff, and volunteers, they all know that without the endless stream of donations to the store, we would have had nothing! Thank you all to so many of you in the Lowcountry; it would be impossible to do individually. We can all remember the Saturday afternoons as the day grew long and the clock seemed to slow down around 4 o’clock and the last two hours of garage sale items that you all had left started showing up, and we would get a second wind and praise God for the blessings he continued to supply. He never gives up on you and I. He will always supply your needs. We all enjoyed our customers who walked through the doors of that store, everyone was greeted, and we always looked for the opportunity to pray with everyone. So many lives were changed in the Thrift Store, God located us at the end of that little mall for his reasons.

And we all know that even the children who came to know Christ on Friday nights, and the lives that were changed through prayer were all because of the Glory of God. Pastor Ronald G. Von Fricken

the indie film corner: ‘the magic flute’ Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” will be at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, July 1 at 7 p.m. The English movie is directed by Kenneth Branagh and conducted by James Conlon and lasts two hours, 14 minutes.

Mozart’s classic opera “The Magic Flute” is breathtakingly transformed in a spectacular new film version conceived and directed by Kenneth Branagh, with a newly-adapted libretto by Stephen Fry. With musical director

James Conlon conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the film showcases opera stars René Pape, Tom Randle, Lyubov Petrova, Silvia Moi, Joseph Kaiser and Amy Carson in a romantic adventure story of humanity and fellowship, weaving drama with comedy.

Branagh“brings magic and a new life to Mozart,” according to Classic FM. A perennial favorite for generations of opera-goers, this production is a visually extraordinary cinematic experience

that the Los Angeles Times called “exuberant!”

“Branagh’s ‘Flute’ is a joy ... fascinatingly reimagines Mozart’s opera.. Branagh’s vision of the Great War is awful and magical at the same time,” said Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times.

Lynne Morgan

beaufort art association featured artist of the month

L

ynne Morgan was born in Bristol, Rhode Island, and was raised on the bay, which explains why water and sailing run deep in her artwork. The soft sound of the waves and the flutter of sails influence much of her art.

In college she became a math major and art went by the wayside. In the early 1980’s a new friend brought her back into the art world and then opened a home decor store and sold many of her art pieces there.

She began in the field of Decorative Arts in the Washington, D.C., area where she belonged to the National Society of Decorative Artists, working with

faux painting, German Bauernmalerei, Norwegian Rosemaling and murals.

After moving to the Lowcountry nine years ago, Lynne joined the Beaufort Art Association, taking many classes in the mediums of oil and acrylic and, most recently, watercolor.

Lynne needs painting to be relaxing, therefore classical music plays a part.

For some reason, the clouds and waves seem to take on a life of their own while playing Stamitz’s Clarinet Concerto No. 10. She enjoys painting many subjects but still loves the crash of a good wave.

Her opening reception is Friday, June 28, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

street music on paris avenue: angela easterling Street Music on Paris Avenue is a free concert series that is a gift from the Town of Port Royal, produced by ARTworks, the arts council of Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands. At 6:30 p.m., Saturday, June 29, Angela Easterling and the Beguilers will perform. “Innocence and clarity so fresh as to be dangerous,” according to Maverick. Angela Easterling is a farm-raised, South Carolina-bred, All-American girl; her country roots run deep, and her music carries the flavor of her distinctly American culture and upbringing. So why would she do an album of original songs in French? Angela’s answer, “Why not?” she laughs. Why not, indeed, when the result speaks for itself: a combination of sweet southern Americana music and the lovely, romantic language spoken along The Seine, coming together to create something truly unique and unexpected. In addition to awards, her music has been featured in commercials and Animal Planet, and the Smithsonian Institution’s exhibit “New Harmonies: Celebrating American Root’s Music.” Bring your chairs and dancing shoes. The rain location is The Shed in Old Village Port Royal. For more, contact ARTworks at 843-279-2787, www.ArtWorksInBeaufort.org.

Why have a mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center?

A suspicious mammogram can make any woman anxious, but Jess Laboy was terrified. She ’d already endured the loss of two family members to breast cancer. Unnerved at the prospect of waiting days for ultrasound results, she chose Beaufort Memorial and got results the very same day. Jess was grateful for every second free of worrying and waiting, and for more time to celebrate with her family.

Same-day results available in both Beaufort and Bluffton.

To schedule your mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center, call (843) 522-5015.

United Way coordinates annual work camp Like worker bees called to the hive, more than 350 students from across the nation are visiting the Lowcountry to lend their time and talents to helping make life better for Beaufort and Jasper county elderly, disabled and families in need.

The 15th annual Catholic HEART Work Camp program began Sunday, June 23 with young people arriving.

Their work continues daily through Thursday, June 27. Friday is a free day for beach visits, touring and other activities.

While here, the campers, 100-plus adult leaders and five local volunteers will work together on at least 55 projects.

Work ranges from yard work and minor repairs to installing handicap ramps.

United Way of the Lowcountry, Inc. is coordinating the Catholic HEART (Helping Everyone Attain Repairs Today) Work Camp program, said Bethany Marcinkowski, the local United Way’s director of resource development.

Student volunteers come from all over the country and will be housed at the Hardeeville School Complex. The young people will work from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day and attend spiritual programs in the evenings.

“The young people do simple home repairs — painting, yard work, cleaning, repairing screens, and anything else that is difficult for an elderly or handicapped person to accomplish. It’s a wonderful

group of kids who have their hearts in the right place,” Marcinkowski said.

Seven-member teams, each with an adult leader, are assigned to the Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, Hardeeville and Ridgeland areas. Among other things they will be building several handicapped ramps.

Several local volunteers with skill and building experience will handle the larger, more complicated repair jobs at the various sites. Hilton Head Glidden is donating all the paint, as has been the case every year since the first group of HEART Work Campers arrived in 1999.

“This program’s mission is to revitalize

communities and beautify homes of the elderly, the disabled and those who cannot afford the needed repairs,” Marcinkowski said. “Seeing the good attitudes, the strong work ethic and the dedication to helping others makes you appreciate these volunteers as they enrich lives across the Lowcountry.

“It is such a pleasure to see the spirit of this group — it is so genuine and real,” she added. “Young people bring these residents a burst of joy and enthusiasm, and they provide valuable volunteer assistance while meeting annual service goals. At the end of the day, our local elderly and disabled residents enjoy safer and more attractive housing.”

Sea Island Rotary donates to YMCA summer programs The YMCA of Beaufort County recently received a $1,200 donation from The Sea Island Rotary Club in support of the Y’s summer camp and Learn-to-Swim programs.

YMCA of Beaufort County CEO Michael Bostwick stated, “Generosity from organizations like the Sea Island Rotary Club goes very far here at the YMCA. Because of this donation, even more children will be able to attend summer camp and take part in vital swim programs. We are so appreciative.”

During the summer months, the Beaufort County YMCA serves more than 400 children ages 3-15 years old, as well as an additional 200 students within Jasper County. For more information, please contact the YMCA at 843-522-9622 or visit www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com. The YMCA of Beaufort County currently serves approximately 8,000 individuals through the programs and services provided.

First Presbyterian Church Beaufort to host GED Boot Camp First Presbyterian Church Beaufort (FPC Beaufort) will host its second GED Boot Camp from July 29 – August 16, 2013 at the Education Building located at 1201 North Street in downtown Beaufort. GED Boot Camp is a day and/or evening program that provides three weeks of intensive preparation for the GED test at no cost to the student. TABE (Test for Adult Basic Education) readiness and Boot Camp registration will start on Monday, July 22 and run through Friday, July 26 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at First Presbyterian Church Beaufort.

It is estimated that 500,000 people in South Carolina do not have a high school diploma and approximately 52% of high school students do not finish school in four years. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the average

annual income for a high school dropout in 2005 was $17,299, compared to $26,933 for a high school graduate, a difference of $9,634.

FPC Beaufort’s first GED Boot Camp was held this past spring with four graduates successfully completing the program and receiving their GED. The Boot Camp is the brainchild of Rich Campoli, a retired educator living on Hilton Head and working part time for Beaufort County Adult Education.

“First Presbyterian Hilton Head wanted to develop a GED program and I began assisting them with the program in 2011,” Campoli said. “We were thrilled when First Presbyterian Beaufort indicated they were interested in participating in this program too.

The team at FPC Beaufort jumped right in and has done a terrific job. We are

looking forward to the second Beaufortbased GED Boot Camp session in July.”

The classes and subsequent test are held at the church and their volunteers instruct the students in language arts and math as well as provide childcare, transportation and refreshments. Private and faith-based contributions fund the program. “By alleviating the barriers that deter many adult students from receiving the proper preparation for the GED, we have found great success with a high percentage of students passing the GED in their first attempt,” Campoli added.

Holding Boot Camp sessions in the Beaufort area removes yet another obstacle for prospective students in the county. Dr. Juanita Murrell, Beaufort County Director of Adult Education, added, “It’s all about student needs no

matter whether they reside north or south of the Broad.”

Overall, the GED Boot Camp (both locations at both churches) has graduated 40 students over seven camps.

The GED test is given by the state of South Carolina immediately at the conclusion of the Boot Camp.

The only requirements for eligibility are that they be 17 years of age and take the TABE (Test for Adult Basic Education) to determine their readiness to participate in the camp. The student must also be prepared for 15 days of intensive learning, requiring their full attention and time.

FPC Beaufort invites those interested in the GED Boot Camp to contact Hugh Gouldthorpe, hugh312@gmail. com or the church office, 843-524-3051. www.firstpresbeaufort.org.

Beaufort County Historical Society presents ‘Gate of Hell: The 1863 Campaign for Charleston’ On July 18, at the Performing Arts Center in Beaufort South Carolina, Doctors Stephen R. Wise and Lawrence Rowland will present, beginning at 7 p.m., a program on the all important 1863 Campaign for Charleston for which Beaufort and Hilton Head served as the Federal Army and Navy’s logistical and medical center.

The summer of 1863 witnessed three massive campaigns that sharply affected the Civil War’s outcome — Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Charleston. The attack on Charleston, which originated from the Beaufort-Port Royal-Hilton Head area, introduced a new era in the science of engineering and gunnery. It involved extensive use of ironclad vessels as a combined Northern army/Mavy task force tried to sweep the Confederates off the island and capture Battery Wagner. The campaign was a major testing ground for African American troops including the well-known 54th Massachusetts. It also involved such personalities as Northerners Quincy A. Gillmore, Rear Admiral John Dahlgren, Nurse Clara Barton and Confederates General P. T. G. Beauregard, Ambrosio Gonzales and Beaufort natives Stephen Elliott and Alfred Rhett.

The skillful, bold operations made the 1863 Campaign for Charleston exceptional in the annals of military history. One British observer considered the battle of Morris Island to be the war’s most important campaign. Dr. Rowland will give background on the campaign and the importance of Port Royal to the Northern war effort and Dr. Wise using period photographs will vividly recount the campaign. Books by Rowland and Wise will be available after the talk. The presentation is sponsored by the University of South Carolina Beaufort and the Beaufort County Historical Society. The event is free and open to the public and is part of the historical society’s series commemorating the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. 22

Ned is going gangbusters

By Celia Strong

The question is, “Have you seen Ned?” Have you? If you haven’t, it’s probably time you did. And, not just any Ned. Oh, no. This very special Ned is at the store waiting for us, calmly, quietly, and deliciously. So, let’s prepare to meet him and spend some time with him.

Ned is from New Zealand. So, our lesson begins with another look at this country and its wines. As long as New Zealand is from its most northern tip to its most southern, most of its wines come from 10 major regions located between 36 degrees and 45 degrees South. The best known of their 10 regions, by far, is Marlborough. And, I would guess that almost all of us have tasted at least one wine from there.

Vine growing and wine making in New Zealand goes back to the first half of the 19th century. As early as 1836, British resident, and avid œnologist, James Busby attempted to make wine from his land in Waitangi. In 1851, French Roman Catholic Missionaries established what is now the country’s oldest winery at Hawke’s Bay. You might remember from the last time we looked at a New Zealand wine that their citizens were more interested in drinking beer and liquor, and federal legislation was passed that encouraged animal farming for exporting protein over mere wine.

The non-supportive laws and attitudes all had subtle changes in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Part of these changes were helped by the fact that vine growing and the products from the vines had far better profits in them. (Money talks, you know.) Once wine got its first little toe in, all the rest sort of just followed.

What had been one hour of heavy liquor and beer drinking each day after work became a glass or two of sipping and tasting. And restaurants started letting their customers bring bottles of wine to enjoy with their meals. (And, the next step was they started selling wine with the meals. Money talks.)

The first wines made in New Zealand were vintage dated, but copied Australian styles. Young New Zealanders, though, travelled and lived and worked overseas, mostly in Europe. They brought home

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

The Ned is pale straw colored with hints of green olive. It has aromas of lemongrass, fresh cut herbs and bits of passion fruit — a complex wine with an exceptional combination of flavors. not only a thirst for wine but also the lifestyle that supports a wine industry.

The first New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was made in 1977. Success with Cabernet wines from Aukland and Hawke’s Bay really peaked an interest in the new industry, financially and commercially. For a short while, there was a bit too much New Zealand wine, not all good. But, quality won out, a “kiwi” style started to be noticed, and, lucky for us, a new world of Sauvignon Blanc was born.

Many wine critics consider New Zealand to be the home of the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc wines.

Interestingly, these wines are said to be a combination the best of Old Word pungency and limy acidity (like Sancerre from the Loire Valley) and New World exotic aromas. One critic is credited with saying that tasting your first New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was like having sex for the first time.

The key to growing Sauvignon Blanc grapes is in the climate and soil. Its first plantings in New Zealand, in the 1970’s, were experimental — growers wanted to see how it would blend with MullerThurgau. The phrase “crisp, elegant and fresh” is used to describe good Sauvignon Blanc, and depending on climate, it can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical. The maritime climate of most

“A banking relationship is built on trust.”

of New Zealand is very friendly for this variety. Sandy soils with good drainage and poor fertility encourage the vines to concentrate their flavors in fewer grapes.

Heavier soils produce more herbaceous wines because the grapes can ripen later.

Grapes from stonier soils ripen earlier and have more lush and tropical flavors.

This variety traces its origins to western France. It is, you might remember, one of the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Across the regions of New Zealand, the decision when to harvest has to be made by each winemaker. And, the different decisions they make result in the unique styles of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The asparagus, gooseberry and green flavors are commonly associated with these wines when they come from cooler climate grapes. Riper flavors, like passion fruit, come from warmer climates.

So, Marlborough is the well known New Zealand wine region, especially for Sauvignon Blanc. And, within the region we can find many different sets of soils and climates. So, within this one region we can acquire different styes of wines. Originally, we all thought that a “grapefruity” character was part of all New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. And, for the most part, we like them. But, options appear in all industries, and wine is no different. Now, even within the world of Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, there are differences. And we,

the lucky ones, get to keep trying them.

The Waihopai River is in the Marlborough region and it is from here that we get this week’s wine. “The Ned” is its name. This wine is the idea of Brent Marris, a Kiwi grower who makes wines for the middle classes. (In fact, Brent’s father, John, was one of the first pioneers to plant vines in Marlborough soil.)

Brent has properties in New Zealand, one of them being a vineyard called Marisco — the source for the Sauvignon Blanc grapes that make The Ned. In the last five years, The Ned has gone from never being heard of to being one of the most popular whites, particularly in England. Wine writers there describe how orange recycling bins, when left in front of peoples’ houses for pickup, always have New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc empties and, nine times out of ten, empty bottles of The Ned in middle class neighborhoods. Why middle class?

Because Brent Marris is making an affordable wine so that everyone can enjoy a good wine. Half of all The Ned made is sent to England. (No need to get nervous, though. Only half of it, I said.)

The Ned is selling like gangbusters!

This wine is crisp and fresh. The vineyards for its grapes are located along the Waihopai River on the southern side of the valley. Remember, in the Southern Hemisphere, the southern slopes are cooler, not warmer like here.

The river runs through the 650 plus acre vineyard that has shingle-based soil. The river and soil stones give the wine a gun flint minerality.

The Ned is pale straw colored with hints of olive green. It has aromas of lemongrass, fresh cut herbs and bits of passion fruit — a complex wine with an exceptional combination of flavors.

Marris’ Marisco Winery has been named “New Zealand Winery of the Year.” And we get The Ned Sauvignon Blanc for $10.97 a bottle. A nice price for all of us deemed to be middle class.

And, for those of us who like New Zealand wines, we know this is a good price for one. Especially one that is this complex and layered in its flavors and textures. No wonder The Ned is going gangbusters! Enjoy.

A strong banking relationship is a very important asset. Like any other relationship a banking relationship is built on trust. If you’re just getting started, we help you build credit. As you grow, we’re here to help with the investments and loans you need to build a secure financial future. We’re here to help you reach your financial goals.

pets

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

Where are we now? Part II

By Tracie Korol

Manufacturers soon realized there was big, big money to be made in dog foods. But how were they to sell more of the same old stuff? The next big marketing strategy was to push specialty diets, formulated for specific diseases or disorders in pets. The first diets were developed for kidney and heart disease in 1948.

These have expanded to more than 20 specialty diets being offered today.

Mark Morris, DVM, founder of Hill’s Pet Products (Science Diet) was the first in the field to really push this idea.

The Purina Company quickly followed, with several other companies not far behind. Only veterinarians offered Hill’s prescription products which upped it’s caché. This action began to paint dog nutrition as something complicated; the public relied more on their veterinarian’s advice about nutrition rather than trusting their own judgment or common sense. Shopping for dog food expanded from the feed store, to the supermarket to the veterinarian’s office.

Until 1974 the National Research Council (NRC) developed the protocol for the nutritional values needed in pet food. Following the publication of the article “What’s Really in Pet Food” from The Animal Protection Institute (API), a new organization was formed, the

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).

This group was organized by the pet food industry; it is not a government agency. They decided to change the standards of the NRC (National Research Council) testing procedures from extending feeding trials of the dog food over a period of time to simple testing of the chemical analysis of the dog food. While this provided results for the percentages and breakdowns in the dog food, it certainly didn’t address the type of food used, freshness or digestibility of each of the ingredients.

As API states in their article, this left the pet food industry to police itself, without government intervention.

In 1985, the National Research Council updated its guidelines for nutrition, instituting changes requiring manufacturers to verify that their final product be nutritionally sound, after it was cooked and processed. It also

CATS OF THE WEEK Our kittens are both adventurous and curious.

As I investigated their personalities, they investigated climbing from my shoe to my shoulder. Strutel used this new height advantage to grab a vantage point and let his photo shoot begin. Stan had already reached the same shelf and wasn’t shy to photo-bomb a few pictures. Soon after Scooter got the idea from Strutel and was cozying up on my elbows, not invited, but certainly welcome. They are neutered and spayed, micro chipped, and current on vaccinations.

You can meet them Monday through Saturday at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center in Riverwalk Business Park. For more information please call 843-645-1725 or visit our website at www.palmettoanimalleague.org.

recommended that the nutrients of the food be listed in metabolic energy units.

The advantage here was to be able to measure the food on a unit energy basis, and to be able to compare foods more accurately.

And what was the response from the pet food companies? Ben Sheffy, of the James A. Baker Institute for Animal Health at Cornell University participated in the 1985 NRC revision reports the responses ranged from “disappointment to anger.” Today, pet companies are still using the 1974 protocol for nutrition, and no serious efforts have been made to accept the 1985 proposed changes.

The next trend marketeers invented for the public was the creation of “premium” dog foods. These foods are advertised to

be more nutritionally complete for dogs, offering different blends for all stages of life, including puppy diets, maintenance diets, performance diets and senior dog diets. While this created new markets for pet foods, it also created a new sense of helplessness for the public. By the way, these foods are advertised as “premium” but still use the old standards from the NRC 1974 requirements. We became more confused. Not only couldn’t we be trusted to feed our own dog, now different formulas were “needed” for various life stages of the dog.

As an ex-marketeer I can personally attest that many lifestyle choices that we now accept as The Only Thing to Do were created by a bunch of people sitting around a conference table churning out ideas. Think “Mad Men.” The goal is always to sell the product. Bottom line: dog food has not fundamentally changed in 35 years. It has been and remains to this day dry pellets of brown stuff you wouldn’t put in your mouth.

Fortunately, many of us are beginning to wake up to what we are putting in our dogs’ mouths. Remember, in the Way Back the only thing to do was to share our food with our best friends.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources.

The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
