Discover Huspa Plantation

By Tess Malijenovsky

Tucked away in the Beaufort countryside is a 350-acre equestrian park called Huspa Plantation.

Visiting horse riders nearing its white picket fence continue down a long dirt road lined with giant oak trees. They’ll pass the horse arenas, then the owner Nick’s collection of small private planes and finally some open pastors before reaching the horse barn.

The stunning property was always tended by horse lovers, but until more recently expanded its equestrian passion to the public.

In a memorial of sorts to Nick’s former wife and daughter, both big equestrians who passed away in separate car accidents, Nick has begun

to expand the cross-country trails they once started with his new wife Christina. Nick and Christina would ride horses daily together and recently became married. With Christina’s encouragement and a visit from an Irish horse trainer friend, the three made plans to open up the expansive property to others.

BJWSA customers may notice tap smell

BJWSA customers may notice an “earthy” smell in their tap water over the next month. The odor is caused by algae growth in the authority’s canal and reservoirs, especially near the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant. The algae growth is a natural and seasonal phenomenon, and the water is still safe to use normally. BJWSA’s treatment staff have modified processes to control the odor, but the authority anticipates the smell to persist for about a month.

Due to the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant’s proximity to Northern Beaufort County, the odor will be noticed mostly by customers in that part of BJWSA’s service area. The odor may be more noticeable in warm water usage, such when taking a shower or washing the dishes. Placing a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for about an hour may help dissipate the odor.

JSLB awards $4,120 to local nonprofits

The Junior Service League of Beaufort ( JSLB) concludes its first formal grant process and awards a total of $4,120 to four local nonprofits. For seven years, the league has supported local agencies by donating time and talent. This year, through the grant funding process, the league is able to donate more than $4,000 to four deserving nonprofits to support a variety of programs. The agencies selected to receive funding are all closely aligned with the JSLB mission to enrich the lives of women, children and families in our community. This year’s recipients are: Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) — $560 in support of their Cribs For Kids program; Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) — $1,060 for their Legal Assistance Fund for Women and Children to help pay for court fees; AMIkids Beaufort — $2,000 for partial tuition for one child to enroll in a Welding Certification program at the Technical College of the Lowcountry (full tuition is $2,500); and Born To Read, which will receive $500 to purchase nursery rhyme books for the Literacy Bags for new moms.

beaufort city council

City balances budget Beaufort’s 2012-13 budget avoids raising taxes, includes a 3 percent costof-living adjustment for employees but eliminated a new fire truck or street sweeper following action Tuesday, June 26, by Beaufort City Council.

Responding to directions earlier this month by council, the city administration axed the $400,000 fire truck and $155,000 street sweeper to help balance the budget after council earlier this month nixed the idea of a $35 per private vehicle fee that would have raised $313,390.

The administration also recommended using $28,680 of the city’s fund balance toward the $15,614,646 Fiscal Year 2013 budget.

Council unanimously approved the budget and the ordinance to levy taxes at 45 mills for the general fund operations and 15.62 mills for general obligation debt service. The tax rate stays the same.

City Council will reconvene in mid-July to consider an increase in the stormwater management fee, currently at $65. The fee increase, if approved, could allow the city to adjust the budget if equipment needs to be bought.

“We have a new budget that addresses the city’s known needs for

the next 12 months and that addresses our valued employees through a costof-living adjustment. We will come back next month to look at some additional capital needs and how we might pay for those,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling.

“Right now we are able to balance this budget without a tax hike and with minimal impact to our taxpayers,” he said.

Included in the adopted budget is about $500,000 in needed capital investments, among them: • $162,753 for new police vehicles and equipment; • $40,000 in street and sidewalk repairs; • $14,749 in park improvements at Pigeon Point, Tic-Toc and Horse Hole parks; • $254,000 in capital needs associated with the Bladen Street and Duke Street improvements; • $11,000 for a new riding mower for the Public Works Department.

Accounting for $404,000 in the $15.6 million Beaufort budget are the cost-of-living adjustment and increased employer contributions to retirement systems, said Dr. Kim Foxworth, director of human resources for Beaufort.

Pick a row

By Martha O’Regan

This was the closing statement of a very inspiring speaker at a local business meeting several years ago.

Admittedly, I don’t remember the exact context, but I believe she tied it to picking corn in Iowa. Regardless, the line has stuck with me and lately has become one of my primary “shift” thoughts, especially when I am feeling overwhelmed from the limitless rows to choose from these days. Just pick a row, choose a path, or as my father used to say, “Lead, follow or get out of the way.” In other words, commit to something and do that something well.

With all of the advancements since our ancestors’ day, we can get strangled with information overload, wasting precious time on distractions rather than what is really important to our overall enjoyment of life — family, recreation, health, etc. We can get so bogged down with wanting to be, do or have everything that we actually end up with nothing. Or, we commit to doing it all, saying yes to everything only to one day find ourselves in total exhaustion or in pain or illness. Learning how to pick a row and balance our lives reduces stress, bringing an enormous feeling of freedom and well being.

So, where to begin? When it comes to setting goals or commitments to any area of your life — health, relationships, career, finances, etc.

— start by writing them down. Just start writing in list form, breaking it into categories if you choose. You just want to get all of your hopes, dreams, goals, and intentions out of your mind and onto paper. Then just sit with the list looking at and ‘feeling’ each item separately.

Then, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, give each one a number representing your level of desire to be, do or have the specific thing on your list. How did each one “feel” in your body? Did some area contract or did you feel an expansion somewhere?

Have some fun with this one as you repeat this through the entire list.

Then go through again grading each item on your level of belief that it can be achieved in a specific time frame. Use a

Paparazzi Hair Studio brings out celebrity in you

By Takiya Smith

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

Learning how to pick a row and balance our lives reduces stress, bringing an enormous feeling of freedom and well being. When it comes to setting goals or commitments, start by writing them down. reasonable time frame such as three to six months. Look at the list again with these numbers, circling the ones with the highest numbers, and, voila — there’s your row! Now, it doesn’t mean the other things on your list of dreams, goals and intentions aren’t important.

It just means they aren’t on this row to focus on, so don’t discard these items as this process should be repeated again in three to six months.

Now, you can take your row and begin to breathe life into it by creating an action plan and seeing or feeling your goal manifested. Start to create it in your mind as though it were already true and real. Understand that each present moment is actually “past tense” based on thoughts and beliefs that have already occurred. This helps to truly grasp that if we don’t like what is showing up in our life right now, we can start creating what we want for our future.

It’s been said by many that we spend much of our life creating what we don’t want so we can eventually come to terms with what we do want. So with that in mind, pick a row, dream the dream and create the life that you do want. Live Well ... Have Fun!

Walking into Paparazzi Hair Studio, one is instantly taken by the Hollywood hues of ultra chic teal met with pops of leopard print paint and decor. The studio style floor plan mingled with upbeat tunes jamming from the surround sound further sets the stage as you make your way past the red carpet and are seated and prepped for perfection.

At just 23 years old, owner and licensed cosmetologist Alayshia Harvey has made leaps and bounds by opening and establishing her own salon. Alayshia has been enamored and dedicated to designing and styling fabulous hair since her teen years. In 2007, she took steps to complete her dream by graduating from the Technical College of the Lowcountry with a diploma in Applied Sciences, Cosmetology. After obtaining her state license, dedication, experience, faith and hard work all paid off with the grand opening of Paparazzi Hair Studio in March 2012.

With much thought and consideration into naming her establishment, Alayshia finally settled on Paparazzi Hair Studio after having a loyal client state that she always felt like a celebrity upon leaving the salon, while donning one of many of Harvey’s fabulous creations.

With services affectionately named

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

after celebrities such as J. Lo, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Wendy Williams and Kim Kardashian, Harvey shows off her skills for hair weaving and extensions.

Customers of all hair textures and types can benefit from Harvey’s talent to appeal to a multi-cultural clientele, as well as experience one-onone consultation with a well versed professional. In addition to specializing in hair extensions, Paparazzi Hair Studio offers cuts, chemical services and make-up application.

After experiencing star-studded treatment, no celebrity’s day would be complete without a few snapshots from the paparazzi, as Harvey has coyly created a mock red carpet scene in which her clients receive before and after head shots of their looks.

Paparazzi Hair Studio, located in Beaufort Town Center at 2015 Boundary Street, is where Beaufort Meets Hollywood. For more information or appointments, contact Alayshia Harvey at 843-521-GLAM

Funding your child’s college education

By State Farm™

A college education is a gift that most parents would love to give their children.

But with higher education becoming pricier each year, it’s important to use time to your advantage and to save early.

College education expenses grew an average of 5.6 percent a year beyond general inflation from the 2010-2011 academic year to the 2011-2012 academic year, according to the College Board. If costs continue to rise at that pace, the College Board estimates that today’s high school students could expect to pay close to $100,000 to attend a public, in-state university for four years, and more than twice that for a private institution.

Many families don’t believe they can save enough to pay the continually rising college costs, especially given other important short- and long-term goals in their financial plan.

Start Saving Now: The sooner you begin saving for your child’s education, the better: A head start will give your investment more time to grow, as well as more time to ride the market’s ups and downs.

Many students do receive financial aid; for the 2001-2012 academic year, more than $178 billion in financial aid was awarded to undergraduate students, according to the College Board. Still, most colleges expect parents and students to contribute their share. In addition, typical financial aid packages also rely on loans.

Thankfully, the federal and state governments have made saving for college easier with tax-favored education funding options. But how do you decide which vehicle is right for you?

Options For College Funding: To determine how to best save for your child’s college education, you may want to start by comparing the following popular investment alternatives: • 529 Plans: Section 529 Plans are higher education saving and pre-paid tuition plans established under Section

529(b) of the Internal Revenue Code as ?qualified tuition programs. There are two types: the 529 college savings plan and the 529 prepaid tuition plan.

The 529 college savings plan is an investment program that allows you or other family members and friends to invest in an account designated for qualified higher education expenses.

Contributions may be used at any eligible U.S. higher-education institution, as well as some abroad.

With a 529 prepaid tuition plan, you essentially buy all or part of a public instate education at present-day prices. The program will then pay for future college tuition at any of your state’s eligible colleges or universities (or a payment to private and out-of-state institutions).

Most 529 prepaid tuition plans have residency requirements and are sponsored by state governments, which then guarantee the investments.

• Coverdell Education Savings Account: The Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) is a trust or custodial account that provides you with a tax-advantaged method to save up to $2,000 per year for your child’s education.

Included is elementary and secondary education as well as post-secondary education, such as college, graduate school or vocational school. An ESA may be established for the benefit of any child under age 18, with contributions beginning any time after birth and continuing until the 18th birthday.

• Custodial Account: You can establish an account for your child under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, depending on which law applies in your state. The account allows you to make gifts to your child without setting up a trust.

The contributions made to an account of this type are considered irrevocable gifts to the minor in whose name the account is registered.

‘Tis the Season’ for Farmers Markets

From now through August, Beaufort farmers markets will be hitting a crescendo of locally grown produce harvested at the peak of ripeness.

Grab a heirloom tomato just picked that morning and put it on a piece of fresh baked bread slathered with Duke’s mayonnaise, a little sea salt and take a bite of heaven!

Port Royal Farmers Market, on Ribaut Road in front of Naval Hospital Beaufort, is the biggest with more than 1,000 people visiting now each Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. to noon. It was started seven years ago by Kit and Louis Bruce when the downtown farmers market was closed due to Waterfront Park renovations. It now has more than 35 local vendors and is open yearround. Kit has been adamant that all the produce and items sold be sourced from the Lowcountry. And many of the vendors she has helped sponsor have gone on to supply local restaurants and beyond with their ever-expanding businesses. The farmers markets are often the first “audience feedback” that vendors get about their products and it proves to be invaluable in their future decisions of what to grow or produce.

Plus, the growth of local farmers markets has helped give a shot to the

Lanier Laney

local economy.

The new Downtown Farmers Market is every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m. on West Street in front of Nippy’s.

And Pick Pocket Plantation Farmers Market off Robert Smalls Parkway is open Saturdays, 9 a.m.. to 4 p.m., and Tuesdays, 1 to 6 p.m. Habersham Farmers Market takes place every Friday afternoon from 4 to 7 p.m. at Habersham Marketplace. The monthly First Friday event will be Footloose Friday on July 6.

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

Steve Curless HELPs those in need (including those in need of a good beat for dancing!)

By Lanier Laney

Along with being head of two important Beaufort charities that help the needy, Steve Curless is the owner of Ramblin Coastal DJ and Karaoke Service.

He was born in Mark Twain’s hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, as were his parents.

He joined the Marine Corps when he was 17, retired in 1997 and moved to Beaufort soon after that.

They call him “The Karaoke Guy” and Steve says with a laugh,“but my volunteers and friends call me a lot of other names behind my back.”

Steve is a mobile Disc Jockey and says, “I do karaoke two nights a week here in Beaufort and I do weddings and parties on the weekends in Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head, etc. I do karaoke at El Toros Bar (near the Air Station) on Tuesday nights and at Steamer on Lady’s Island on Friday nights. I specialize in weddings, which I love to do and have performed at hundreds of them.” He has been voted the # 1 DJ in Beaufort for the past five years.

Steve also works hard as president of HELP Of Beaufort, and also president and founder of Community Services Organization (CSO), which is a group of about 45 churches and nonprofits throughout Beaufort County who work together to help the needy. They meet once a month on the third Wednesday of each month to get to know each other and learn how each agency helps the poor.

Says Steve, “HELP Of Beaufort is a nonprofit where everyone is a volunteer, so no one gets paid for working there.

Not even me. We bring in donations of

T! 0088

Steve has three grown children he is very proud of: Nick, 32, Stephanie, 30, and Anthony, 27, who is a Marine currently deployed in the Middle East. Between them he has seven grandchildren.

Steve’s girlfriend Janet Robinson is a teacher at St. Helena Elementary School.

Steve said he loves the kindness and generosity of the people in Beaufort.

His philosophy is simple: “Treat people how you would like to be treated. Even if they are rude and obnoxious. You will find that if you are kind to them, they will be kind to you.“ Steve is a member and ambassador for the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Baptist Church Of Beaufort where he has been ushering for the past four years. He’s also a Mason in the Harmony Lodge, a life member of AmVets, life member of Viet Nam Veterans of America, and life member of Disabled American Veterans.

He has been with HELP Of Beaufort since 2003, starting as a volunteer, and President since 2006, six years. He founded the CSO in February of 2009.

His plans for the future are to “continue DJing and working for nonprofits all I can.

As long as they will let me anyway!”

HELP Of Beaufort is in need of donations of food, clothes, money, furniture, and volunteers. To sign up to volunteer or to drop off donation items, they are located at 1910 Baggett St. (one and a half blocks behind Maryland Fried Chicken and Piggly Wiggly).

Steve Curless can be reached at 843252-2710. Visit Ramblin Coastal DJ & Karaoke Service at www.ramblindj.com.

number of people who have been hit hard by the recession. People who, just a couple years ago, owned their own companies are now asking for help with financial assistance. One day, we hope to get a homeless shelter set up. We have nowhere to send our homeless except to Savannah or Charleston,” he said.

“With the CSO, I am contacted most every day from either someone who needs assistance or from one of the CSO organizations. We have also started the Charity Tracker Program. It is an online database of everyone who receives assistance in Beaufort County. When a nonprofit logs in, they can see every organization that has helped that person. It really enables the nonprofits to work together to help families who really need help and also to help stop the abuse by people who use the system and are not in real need,” he said.

In 1988, Steve had some buddies who were DJ’s on Okinawa, Japan, and they convinced him to try it. When he did, he fell in love with being a DJ. Then decided to make it his business.“It was a great decision,” says Steve, “and here I am, 24 years later, loving what I do.”

Steve said he’s had many interesting experiences while DJing over the years. “I did a wedding in Atlantic Beach, N.C., for a family of Gypsies in the early 1990s. It went on for 10 hours a day for three days. I thought I would die. And I was a fairly new DJ and I hardly made any money on it. I learned my lesson about that,” he said.

“And I did a wedding on Hilton Head once where the groom’s mother was arrested for hitting the groom’s father. It takes all kinds.”

“Mobile Meals is another part of HELP. Beth Moon coordinates her volunteers who take hot meals out to approximately 70 people each day, Monday through Friday. The meals are prepared by Beaufort Memorial Hospital. She receives just enough each month to cover her expenses,” he said.

“I have the greatest group of volunteers at HELP that I could ask for,” Steve adds.“Each one works three hours a day for one or more days. They are the best.”

HELP is a United Way funded agency and recently had a successful fundraiser “Happy Days for HELP” at The Arsenal on May 5.

Says Steve, “The CSO is doing great things. Two times a year we hold a ‘Helping The Homeless Day’ where we invite all the homeless to come to the Charles Lind Brown Center (Greene Street Gym) and we feed them, have a doctor check them, do resumes, give them a hair cut, etc. There are several other things in the works that are really going to positively impact the needy of Beaufort.”

“I am amazed at how many homeless people are in Beaufort. We have registered almost 100 people as homeless. And also the

The (extra) cost of doing business

By Will McCullough

Have you ever planned to contribute to the local economy by purchasing something you really wanted only to be surprised by extra, seemingly unexplainable, expenses? No, I’m not talking about feeding the parking meters while shopping along Bay Street; I’m talking about the closing costs associated with purchasing a property in the area.

While experienced real estate buyers are stereotypically fully aware of exactly what closing costs consist of, most first time buyers are not. So if you’re a potential first time buyer of real estate in the Lowcountry, please read on. On the other hand, if you’ve already “been there, done that,” I’ll understand if you choose to stop reading now and skip forward to Terry Sweeney’s “Happy Winos” column. (For the record, I’m still waiting for him to review one of my favorite wines but he’s apparently prejudiced against the whole “volume meets cardboard box” packaging concept.)

Now that we’re left with just the first time buyers, please allow me to explain, in general, what closing costs are. In short, closing costs are not a single individual fee paid to some nameless entity when you buy a home.

Instead, the term refers to the combined accumulation of multiple fees due to

While experienced real estate buyers are stereotypically fully aware of exactly what is involved with closing costs, most first time buyers are not. multiple sources for services rendered on your behalf during the transaction. In other words, instead of one big charge, it’s a whole bunch of smaller charges added together. The following are a few examples of some of the individual items that, when combined together, make up some of what we refer to as closing costs.

Home Inspection: While a buyer is not normally required to have a home inspection before a purchase, it is my strong recommendation that you do so.

A good home inspector can discover a wide range of “latent defects” or

the island news | june 28 - july 4, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

“problems nobody knew existed” before a sale is finalized. As the saying goes — “An ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.” The cost of the inspection depends on many factors but, in a nutshell, one can expect to pay an average of between $250 to $400. This charge is often paid at the closing as opposed to when the actual inspection is conducted and, thus, becomes one of the fees that make up part of the closing costs.

CL100 Inspection: Normally required by lenders and commonly referred to as the “termite inspection”, the CL100 inspection checks for just about anything that would degrade the stability of a wooden structure.

While this obviously includes termites and other timber destroying insects, it also includes excessive rot, moisture in the wood and certain fungi. Like the home inspection above, payment for the CL100 is normally deferred until closing.

Appraisal: If, as opposed to paying cash, you are getting a loan on the property, an appraisal will likely be required by your lender. Basically, the appraisal’s purpose is to ensure that the sales price agreed upon does not exceed the actual current market value of the property. This protects both the buyer (from over paying) and the lender

(in case you default and they have to foreclose and re-sell).

Attorney Fees: If you are purchasing a property in the state of South Carolina, you will be having an attorney represent you in the transaction. In short, the job of your real estate attorney is to ensure that all the contractual “T’s” are crossed and “I’s” are dotted, that you are receiving a clear and marketable title free of liens and that you fully understand the wide range of documents, fees, etc., associated with the closing.

Lender Related Fees: This is a topic that warrants a detailed column of its own but, in general, there may well be fees or up front costs associated with the type of loan you have secured for the property and, if so, these costs will become closing costs as well.

While the above list represents some of the services that, when combined and paid for at closing, make up what we call “closing costs,” it is by no means complete. Actual costs will vary from transaction to transaction, so I highly recommended that you discuss the topic in detail with your agent before you make your first offer.

Oh, and try out the boxed wines too.

I’ll take the convenience of that little plastic spout over those annoying corks every time.

THE INDIE FILM CORNER “The Salt of Life” from the World Film Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, July 2 at 6:30 p.m.

Synopsis: Gianni is a middle-aged retiree who has become invisible to all, regardless of age or relation. He contends with an aristocratic, spendthrift mother; a wife who is more a patronizing friend than romantic partner; a daughter with a slacker boyfriend; and a wild young neighbor who sees him merely as her dog walker. Watching his old friends snare beautiful younger women, he tries his polite, utterly gracious best to generate some kind of extracurricular love life — with both hilarious and poignant results.

Ratings & Reviews: Internet site IMDb: 5.9; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 82/Audiences: 58. Good marks. Newspapers reviews: Time Out New York: “ ... bittersweet look at the bewilderment over growing old”; Variety: “... refreshing...”; The New York Times: “... touching ...”

Previewer Comments: This World film in Italian with English subtitles will resonate with all of retirement age, or even those reaching whatever age milestone that causes one too long for previous youthful memories. Although a comedy, this film is more, much more than a comical look at an aging, over-the-hill man’s attempt at regaining his youthful past in the present.

The viewer cannot help but feel anguish for this elderly man who simply wants to be loved by someone.

Rated: Unrated, but likely can be considered to be PG. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Dennis Tavernetti is a resident of St. Helena Island and retired to the Lowcountry having a lifelong interest in the arts.

“Having such a beautiful place, it seemed sort of selfish to be able to enjoy it daily and I wanted other people to enjoy it as well,” Christina said.

Recently they’ve brought on Gini Quade, former manager of the Palmetto Bluff equestrian center, whom Christina said has made great strides in improving Huspa Plantation.

Gini has developed more pastors and cross-country trails as well as coordinated their first Combined Test horse show scheduled for September 15, which consists of dressage and show jumping. Huspa is also a huge sponsor of the Wounded Warriors event with horseback riding, crabbing and kayaking on the plantation.

Gini has coordinated several community events like this Thursday’s Ladies Night Out. Ladies can come out for a trail ride through the gorgeous Huspa property and meet other women that enjoy horseback riding.

Afterwards, there will be cocktails and hors d’oeuvres potluck style. It’s only $15 if you trailer your horse and an extra $40 if you need one.

This summer the plantation is also sprawling with kids at the Riding and Horsemanship Camp, from daily riding lessons, to broom-ball polo to horse soccer with a giant red ball. “The horses actually push the ball with their nose and legs. We had so much fun!” said Gini. There are still three sessions left July 9-13, July 16-20 and the Pee Wee three-day mini session July 26-28 for riders aged 5-8 years old.

ST. PETER’S CATHOLIC SCHOOL NOW ENROLLING Pre-K3 - 8th The military brought us to Beaufort towards the end of Ryan’s first year of pre-school.

After visiting and meeting with the staff at St. Peter’s, I knew he would be in safe and loving hands. We are so thrilled that we decided to enroll him right away; Ryan absolutely loves Saint Peter’s!

At the dinner table every night, school is always the best part of his day. He loves his teacher and his classmates. He is proud of everything he does at St. Peter’s School, especially his works of art. Ryan has also significantly progressed in his academic skills.

It really touched my heart at the end of the year that he wanted to write a note to his teacher to tell her that he loved her and loved her classroom. St. Peter’s has been a blessing for Ryan!

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.

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

Authentic Gullah food prepared the authentic Gullah way at

GULLAH GRUB

By Pamela Brownstein

On a hot afternoon in June, the Gullah Grub Restaurant — at the intersection of U.S. 21 and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on St. Helena Island — was filled with hungry patrons.

Among them, the Lunch Bunch was eager to sample the traditional cuisine prepared by chef and owner Bill Green.

We started with a piece of homemade cornbread that was simply amazing.

Slightly crunchy on the outside and moist and sweet on the inside, you didn’t even need butter.

For the main course, Buck had the barbecue ribs with potato salad, while Elizabeth ordered a cup of shrimp gumbo and side of red rice. I tried fried shark strips with a side of mac n’ cheese — all of these dishes were delicious.

We also shared a side of perfectly prepared collard greens, and a cup of Fish Chowder. While the chowder is something I would not have ordered on my own, I couldn’t get enough of this awesome tomato-based catfish stew.

For dessert we had a piece of Sweet Potato Pie and a piece of Peach Cobbler.

Served warm, the Peach Cobbler was heavenly, with big gooey pieces of fresh

peaches that fall off your fork and melt in your mouth. Although all our food was outstanding, we agreed this cobbler is a must-have.

Bill’s wife, Sara’ Reynolds-Green, said their organic farm on St. Helena has been in her family for generations. They have started a program to teach teens how to grow, cook and serve the food

the traditional Gullah way. “We want to preserve the history of how the food is cooked,” she said.

Our server even wished us farewell in Gullah: “Tank hunnah fa come,” or “Thank you for coming.”

The restaurant has received praise from many publications, and was even featured on an episode of the popular

Travel Channel show “No Reservations” with host Anthony Bourdain.

Gullah Grub is located at 877 Sea Island Parkway, U.S. 21, St. Helena Island, and is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, noon to 8 p.m.; and for Sunday Brunch, noon to 4:30 p.m. They also offer catering. Call 843-838-3841 or visit www.gullahgrubs.com.

Bill’s Q LI

&

All Liquor Stores Are NOT Created Equal.

R

So, I really hate it when this happens. Actually, when these couple of things happen. First, you find out after years of really liking a wine — and I mean years for you and me both — that it’s not going to be around anymore. And I have to go on this tasting search to find a replacement. As I’ve mentioned before, all the wines we get to taste are not necessarily that good. So, as you can imagine, looking for a replacement is not all that fun. And looking for a bunch of replacements is a bit daunting. You just know you’re going to taste a bunch of dogs and maybe never find a new wine as good as the one you’re losing. Oh well. It has to be done. And this week’s wine is a find from one of the biggest searches ever.

The search was to replace, if possible, a range of Argentine wines. Various grape varieties, at various price levels, hopefully in styles that a lot of us would like time after time. After all, what good does a wine do us if you only buy it once? We are all a lot happier if the wine brings us all back to itself repeatedly. So, there I go off to taste. And more than one time because each company we buy wines from has some I just have to try. The most important, being a search for Argentine wines, was good Malbecs. As you know, or should cuz we’ve covered this before, Malbec is the red wine grape that keeps Argentina on everyone’s mind. The French brought Malbec to Argentina, but viticulture and wine making were introduced to the country during the Spanish colonization of the Americas and by Christian missionaries. In 1556, Father Juan Cedron established the first vineyard in Argentina. More plantings followed and the first commercial vineyard was established in1557. From the 1560’s through the 1580’s, missionaries and settlers continued to plant more vines and built a system of irrigation channels and dams that still brings water (melting snow and glacier ice actually) down the mountains to the vineyards. Because it was explored and settled by French, Spanish and Italians, the vineyards of Argentina became a conglomerate of grape varieties from all three. Like I said, our Malbec came from France, but Bonarda, another red variety, came from Italy and California missionaries, Torrontes, a white variety, is a cross of an indigenous grape and Moscato, probably, and on and on.

In the twentieth century, the development of the Argentine wine industry (its growth and its money) were

$9 1.75lt deeply$8 influenced by the economy of the whole country. $16.99 In the 1920’s, Argentina was the eighth richest country in 132 Sea Island Parkway . 522-3700 the world. Their own citizens were a huge support to their own wine industry. The Depression, though, led to a large decrease in the export markets for Argentina. This led to lower revenues and fewer investments in the country, and the wine industry declined. A lot. By the early 1970’s, the average Argentine citizen was drinking nearly twenty-four gallons of wine a year. The United States was averaging less than a gallon per person per year at that point. Finally, after the 1980’s, Argentina’s peso was gaining in value in the world and the wine industry, following the example set by their neighbor Chile, started concentrating on export markets in place of domestic ones. By the end of the 20th century, what had been a “sleeping giant” in wines, started to wake up.

Mendoza is the leading wine region of Argentina.

In recent years, Malbec has become their best known and mostly widely planted variety. At of the beginning of the twenty-first century, total plantings are at about 361,000 acres. The Mendoza vineyard area is about half the entire area of United States’ vineyards and more than New Zealand and Australia combined. By the beginning of the 21st century, Argentina had more than 1,500 wineries. Most of the best rated Malbec wines come from Mendoza’s high altitude regions ( the Lugan de Cuyo and Uco Valley districts) where the elevation is between 2,800 and 5,000 feet. The soil is sandy and alluvial on top of clay substructures and the climate is continental with four distinct seasons. Under Argentine wine law, if the grape name appears on a wine’s label, it must be at least 80 percent that variety.

But, back to Malbec and France for a moment. The historic birthplace of Malbec was southwestern France, and it is still widely grown in Cahors, a bit in Bordeaux, 97

97

and some Vin de Pays areas like the Lanquedoc. In Argentina, though, it has found its niche and claim to fame. The grape clusters of Argentine Malbec have smaller berries and are tighter than those in France. Malbec wines have a characteristic deep color (a kind of inky red or violet) and intense fruit flavors with a velvety texture. The grape is thin-skinned and needs more sunshine and warmth to ripen well than either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. It ripens early, which fits well into harvest schedules, and saves it from potential damage from cold to which it’s very susceptible.

Our Malbec this week comes from Antigal Winery and Estates, founded in 1897 by the Peiro family as Bodega Antigal. Modern wine making equipment is housed in traditional buildings, some old and some built to resemble the winery’s original structures. Refrigerated grape storage rooms, an antiseptic bottling chamber and a gravitational flow system are part of the new Antigal. Vineyards that were part of the original bodega holdings remain with the winery and continue their heritage of great wines. It is the location of these vineyards with their calcareous soil, very warm days and cool nights that allow the grapes to develop slowly. Better flavors and textures all take time.

Slow but concentrated. That’s the secret.

Antigal makes two levels, or tiers as they can be called, of wines. Cavia Classic is more youthful wines — fruit forward, easy drinking. And then there is their Cavia Reserve, wines known for their structure and intensity. Ours comes from this Reserve tier. Antigal Uno (that means “one” in Spanish) is 100% Malbec, a very deep red with a violet tinge, with an intense nose of dark red fruits and oak, a very silky mouth-feel, long, concentrated flavors of berries, dark plums, smoke, coffee and more and a long lingering finish.

But, you want to know the worst part of my first tasting of this wine? The bottle itself. It’s dark with this brass Number One kind of soldered onto it. It was such a great looking bottle, everyone would always remember it. Such great marketing. Oh, please, please! I so badly wanted it to taste good. And I was so worried it would be mediocre or less, it had to be almost awful with such a great appearance.

That’s how it always works. The better the label the less good the wine is. But, it’s THE one that breaks that rule. It was great — inside the bottle and outside! Yay! Delicious. And a Reserve wine. Great! And all for $13.99.

Oh boy. A new Number One. Antigal Uno. Look for the brass numeral. It’ll see you coming. Enjoy!

A wine to f loat your boat

By Terry Sweeney

One of my fondest Fourth of July memories is lying on the deck of my friend’s boat on the Beaufort River looking up at the technicolor fireworks extravaganza exploding in the night sky above me. Now I’m not totally sure whether it was the fireworks themselves or the cardboard box onboard with the little green frog on it, from whose pull-out spigot flowed a most delicious wine that was oh-so-easy to drink and that seemed to last forever, that made it such an unforgettable holiday boating experience.

Of course this frog wine was from the land of frogs — France, which may account for its superior quality over any other white boxed wine I had ever tasted. Extremely well-balanced with outstandingly good acidity, I could just imagine eating clams, crab claws, shrimp, flounder, red fish, or any other fish for that matter with it. I say imagine because my ship mates did not have one morsel of food aboard except a cheap bag of salty snack food. So at the time, the

la petit frog picpoul de pinet Happy Wino Note: You can order La Petit From Picpoul de Pinet online from www.chainbridgecellars.com — regular price $25.99 but if you order a case of 12 you get 10% off so it’s $23.99 each! A whole summer’s worth!

Terry Sweeney

only opinion I could offer with complete authority was that this boxed wine was the perfect match with “Bugles.”

Once back on land, I investigated my boat wine further. Its full name: La Petit Frog Picpoul de Pinet. It’s the same wine you’ll find in the bottles of Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet that are on the shelves of classy wine boutiques everywhere.

What’s fantastic about this wine is that, like a real frog, it is comfortable on land, but even more comfortable on water.

This wine really is better at sea. Its bracing clean aromas of lime and citrus just make you want to hoist a sale and take in big lungfuls of clean ocean air in between the dirty clouds of diesel from

the big nasty richy-rich yachts that muscle past you.

“Ahoy there, bigshots! We’re drinking a $24 box of wine that’s equal to four bottles at $6 dollars a bottle from the South of France! And just as good as any of the high-class bilge water you’re throwing back!” That’s telling ‘em!

Of course, one of the advantages to having a large well-built yacht is that you’re too high up to hear the insults poor people below are hurling at you.

Oh well, you’ll feel better for getting it off your chest.

Boxes of wine mean no breakage, less storage problems, and, if you should need to hide them for any reason, can be cleverly concealed. Take a dozen

boxes, pile them up neatly in a square and cover them with a white table cloth, candles and flowers and you’ve got an innocent-looking romantic table for two. Line the walls of you cabin below with the cute little frog boxes and say, “It’s the kids’ room!”

If anyone with a badge should ask. Or better yet, stay safely and legally tied to the dock and drink till you at least feel like you’re floating out to sea on the Mediterranean off the coast of France.

By the way, since that particular Fourth of July, I have found that this wine also pairs beautifully with pasta and chicken on occasions when I realized I needed to have more than just “Frog” for supper.

Refrigerated, this wine, once opened, can last up to six weeks and will taste just as good as your first sip. Another good reason to pick Picpoul for you summer sailing pleasure. La Petit Frog — don’t leave land without it!

Cheers!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

No hot dogs

BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

This month’s spell of spring weather appears to be easing toward summertime sultry, steamy and mean. We’ll dress down, move slower and leave our dogs at home, right?

We’ve all experienced those very hot days when every pore in our body oozes sweat. Sweating is our body’s cooling mechanism; evaporation of the moisture on the skin cools the body. But dogs don’t sweat the way we do and their ability cool off is very limited. Their personal air conditioner is through the process of panting and breathing. When a dog pants, the air passing over the saliva in their mouths helps them cool.

Their lining of their lungs serves as an evaporative surface, too and the blood vessels in their face, ears and feet expand to help dispel heat.

A dog’s body temperature is normally between 100.2º and 102.8ºF. If his cooling mechanisms are over-loaded and his temperature rises past 104º he can suffer from dehydration, heat cramps or heat stress. Past 104º and the dog is in serious trouble; over 106º heatstroke can occur. Heatstroke is lifethreatening causing lethargy, weakness,

collapse, seizure, coma, brain damage and even death. At 109º vital organs can shut down.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that’s it’s all preventable with a little common sense. Think about it: if you’re hot, your dog is hot, too. If it’s too hot for you to sit in a car without air conditioning, it’s too hot for your dog.

If it’s too hot for you to walk barefoot across a parking lot or the sand, it’s too hot for your dog. He’s barefoot, too. If you’re sweaty and thirsty, your dog is too. Let’s remember, he’s upholstered in fur and he can’t sweat. Here are some common sense reminders for summertime dog safety: 1. Never leave your dog in a car on a warm day. Not for a minute for that quickie errand; not ever. Never.

2. When it’s hot outside, bring your dog inside. If you need A/C, chances are your dog does, too.

3. Never confine your dog or leave him crated in the sun. It becomes an oven.

Use caution leaving a crated dog under an awning, too. The sun moves during the day and a shady spot can become sun-baked in a short period of time.

4. Provide rest breaks in the shade and plenty of fresh water (not found water) on all outdoor excursions.

5. Avoid overexertion on hot or humid days. Even if your dog generally joins you for a walk or run, extreme temperatures call for a change in routine. You may want the full benefit from a drenching run across the bridge mid-day; it is torture for your dog.

6. A dip in cool water is the best way

to beat the heat for dogs and people, too.

Get your dog a hard-sided kiddie pool or provide water play with sprinkler and hose games. You can drape your dog in a wet T-shirt or adorn him with a wet, chilled bandana on a steamy afternoon.

7. At the beach be sure to provide a cool place — on a towel, under an umbrella — for your dog, too.

8. Limit sun exposure during the mid-day hours and use an animal-safe sunscreen on dogs with pink noses or exposed skin.

9. Be especially careful with obese, older or high-risk dogs.

Expert recommendations vary on whether to clip a dog’s coat to assist with heat management. The ASPCA suggests that thinning or trimming a doublecoated dog can help, but don’t shave the dog! Leave at least an inch of coat to provide insulation and protection from sunburn. I’ve always recommended trimming away belly fur so a dog can make maximum contact with a cool tile floor.

And finally, please leave your Best Friend at home this summer’s festival season. He’ll be happier waiting at home, lounging on the A/C vent.
