Beaufort Digital Corridor hopes to attract tech jobs to area Beaufort leaders are launching the Beaufort Digital Corridor, a public-private business partnership to attract, nurture and promote high-wage tech and tech-related companies to Beaufort. The idea is to emphasize small technology companies like the Charleston Digital Corridor, which in 15 years has seen its tech economy grow from 18 companies in 2001 to 350-plus companies in 2015. That same model will be used in Beaufort following a unanimous vote by the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission. The Beaufort Digital Corridor“is something that makes it possible for the young people who grow up here … to be able to stay here,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling in a release. The goals of the Beaufort Digital Corridor,
The Beaufort Digital Corridor is being modeled after the successful Charleston Digital Corner.

• Court visitors to relocate and create jobs; • And develop relationships with all levels of public education. Stephen Murray, a Beaufort City councilman, member of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission and one of the key leaders in the effort to create the Beaufort Digital Corridor, said Charleston’s Digital Corridor is a success story worth imitating. “We have a lot in common with Charleston, including history, beautiful buildings and natural coastal environment, and a high quality of life that is appealing to young tech entrepreneurs,” Murray said in the release. “The secret is to provide the business, social and education infrastructure to get them started and to succeed here.” Unlike traditional economic development
Boundary project rife with rumors By Kat Walsh
Rumors can often spread faster than cement can dry. That’s particularly true when it comes to the Boundary Street Redevelopment project. However, many rumors about the project are not true, according to city officials. The city of Beaufort recently published a document titled “Rumors and Facts” regarding the Boundary Street project. Here are some of those rumors and facts: Rumor: The new Boundary Street will have traffic circles at Ribaut Road and Robert Smalls Parkway. Fact: There will be no traffic circles at any point. Rumor: The Beaufort Police are writing too many traffic tickets on Boundary Street. Facts: The Boundary Street work zone sees about 38,000 vehicles per day, which translates to more than four million vehicles using Boundary Street since Jan. 1. Since that time, the police have issued 616 tickets for all traffic violations. That translates into 0.0003 percent of all vehicles. Reduced speed limits are the norm for all construction sites naSee RUMORS, page A7

POLICE BLOTTER Video teaches citizens how to survive shootings
In light of the alarming increase in mass shootings incidents nationwide, the Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office is providing information to citizens and visitors on how they can increase the likelihood of surviving one of these horrifying events. A YouTube video titled “Surviving an Active Shooter Event-Civilian Response to an Active Shooter” was created by the ALERRT Center at Texas State University. “We encourage our citizens and visitors to view it in its entirety to become better informed on how to respond to and survive an encounter with an active shooter,” according to a release from the Sheriff ’s Office. The video can be seen at http://bit. ly/294QMiN. The Sheriff ’s Office also reminds citizens and visitors: “If You See Something, Say Something.” Be aware of your surroundings (situational awareness) and trust your instincts when it comes to odd behavior and activity. Do not hesitate to call 911 to report suspicious people or activity to law enforcement and never assume someone else already has or will. “Law enforcement would rather receive a hundred calls and have the opportunity to look into the situation than to receive no calls and respond only after the potentially preventable criminal event has already occurred,” according to the Sheriff ’s Office. Additionally, for more information from the Department of Homeland Security on types of suspicious activity to look out for, visit www.dhs.gov/see-something-say-something/ what-suspicious-activity.
Sheriff 's Office investigating Seabrook shooting incident
Just after 10 p.m. June 24, Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office deputies responded to a report of a gunshot victim at a family party in a yard on Delaney Circle in Seabrook. Deputies talked to numerous witnesses on the scene, while the adult male victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment of a single gunshot wound to the leg, where he was treated and released. Witnesses said that at the time the male victim was shot that he and another adult were arguing. Then, gunshots came from a wooded area bordering the yard where witnesses could only see the silhouette of a man who ran away. Deputies searched the area for the man, but were unable to find him. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cpl. Jason Malphrus at 843-255-3426 or by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.

Sheriff needs help finding missing Florida man
The Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office is asking for help locating Conner Pace, 27, of Gainesville, Fla. The Savannah Chatham Metro Police Department (SCMPD) told the Sheriff ’s Office that it found his vehicle abandoned in a parking garage, and Pace's family became concerned and filed a missing person report. SCMPD investigators looked into his credit card activity and found that on June 21 Pace had checked into the Beach House hotel Conner Pace on Hilton Head Island. On the morning of June 22, Pace's wallet and a few of his personal belongings were found on a lifeguard stand in the vicinity of the hotel. Sheriff 's Office investigators were contacted by SCMPD investigators and so far efforts to locate Pace have been unsuccessful. Pace was supposed to check out of his room on June 22, but never returned. Sheriff 's Office investigators checked the room and located some other belongings he had left behind. According to his family, Pace suffers from an undisclosed condition and may be in need of medical attention. The Sheriff 's Office is asking the public to be on the lookout for Pace and to immediately call 911. Pace is white; 5 feet, 8 inches tall; and weighs about 250 pounds. He was wearing a yellow golf shirt and blue Ocean Pacific shorts.
Businesses cited for underage drinking
Members of the Bluffton Police Department Special Investigations Unit assisted the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division recently in 26 alcohol-compliance checks at various businesses in Bluffton. Alcohol compliance checks are used to deter businesses from selling alcohol to underage customers. If youth are able to successfully buy from the establishment, the business is cited. Of the establishments that Bluffton PD investigators and SLED agents visited, six were ticketed for selling alcohol to an underage person who was working with police. The businesses cited include: Amigo’s Café, Walnuts Café, Mi Tierra Cantina, Outback Steakhouse, Ranchero Alegre Cuban Restaurant and Agave Restaurant. Each business ticketed was given a criminal violation and an administrative violation. Each
criminal violation ticket was in the amount of $470, and the administrative fine is set by the Department of Revenue, which can vary depending on if the establishment has been fined in the past. The criminal violation ticket was given to the person who provided the underage individual the alcohol, and the administrative ticket was given to the owner of the establishment. “When we assist SLED with compliance checks, we hope that all of our businesses are following the law and checking identification accordingly. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this time around. However, I would like to thank the other 20 businesses that did follow the law and hope they will lead by example,” said Bluffton Police Chief Joey Reynolds. The businesses in compliance with the checks include: Truffles, Jim ‘N Nicks, R Bar, Supermercado La Mexicana, Nickel Pumpers, Fat Patties, Old Town Dispensary, Cinco, Hinchey’s Chicago Bar and Grill, Chin Dynasty, Parker’s Gas Station, Southern Barrel, Station 300, Breland’s Liquors, Blue Water Gas Station, Pour Richards, La Nortena, Big Jims Liquor, Enmark Gas Station and Baleada Express.
Public’s help needed in cold-case investigation
On June 24, 1972, Michael Steven Akey, 14, was reportedly abducted by an white man who was driving a 1962-63 four-door Chevrolet near a watermelon patch at Trammell’s Market in Burton. In 1972, Trammell’s Market was located in the area of Joe Frazier Road and Godwin Road. At the time of the abduction, Akey was with two friends, and all three were hitchhiking and caught a ride with the suspect. While Akey’s two friends were stealing watermelons, the man drove off with Akey. The boy was not seen alive again. On Feb. 8, 1978, workers discovered skeletal remains while clearing land near Whitehall Plantation on Lady’s Island. The remains were examined by a forensic pathologist and anthropologist, and using existing available technology, it was believed the remains were those of Akey. Michael Steven The remains were exAkey humed on Aug. 2, 2005, from Beaufort National Cemetery for DNA analysis to firmly establish the remains were in fact Akey. The FBI laboratory in Quantico, Va., performed the analysis and concluded the remains were of Akey. A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County Cold Case. If you have any information regarding this cold case, contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843255-3402, 843-816-8013 or at robertb@ bcgov.net; or by contacting Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372). You can also text the word TIPSC with a message to CRIMES (274637).

New Marines become U.S. citizens on Parris Island
They came to Parris Island recently as nonU.S. citizens, but 20 new Marines recently graduated with the rights and privileges of citizenship after taking the Oath of Allegiance to become naturalized citizens. Executive order 13269, signed July 3, 2002, by President George W. Bush, provides for expedited naturalization for aliens and non-citizen nationals serving in an active-duty status in the Armed Forces of the United States, and Parris Island has partnered with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services since 2012 to help make the dream of citizenship become a reality. "United States citizenship is the greatest honor we grant (at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services)," said Wendy Wilcox, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. "For these Marines, today's naturalization ceremony represents their final step in their journey to American citizenship. Their path to citizenship is especially remarkable because they first pledge themselves to support and defend the United States before choosing to become American citizens."
Volunteers needed to count turkeys
Since 1982, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conducts an annual Summer Turkey Survey to estimate reproduction and recruitment of wild turkeys in South Carolina. The survey involves agency wildlife biologists, technicians, and conservation officers, as well as many volunteers from other natural resource agencies and the general public. Summer surveys are designed to monitor annual nesting success of hens and survival of their young, which has the greatest influence on wild turkey population dynamics. The information allows biologists to calculate many factors essential for sound turkey management including: average brood size, percentage of hens with and without young, gobbler-to-hen ratio and overall numbers of turkeys seen. Combined with harvest data, this allows the DNR to make scientific recommendations to the SC General Assembly in order to manage the wild turkey population now and in the future. If you are interested in participating in the annual Summer Turkey Survey the following information will assist you in becoming a survey cooperator. The survey period is July 1-Aug. 29. Participants must be able to identify wild turkeys and must be comfortable in telling the difference between hens, poults and gobblers. Observations are made during your normal outdoor activities. Print a survey form from www.dnr.sc.gov/ wildlife/turkey/pdf/SurveyFormWeb.pdf Record observations from only one county on each survey form. If you see turkeys in
more than one county, use a separate survey form for each county. Surveyors are asked to record each sighting or group of turkeys as a separate observation. Do not combine all the turkeys you see in a day or on multiple days into one observation. They are also asked to try to avoid recording what you believe are the same turkeys in the same area more than once. Be sure to record hens that do not have poults in addition to hens that do have poults. This is very important in determining the overall reproductive success in turkeys. Additionally, participants are asked to record quail sightings in addition to turkeys. Completed survey forms can be e-mailed to ruthc@dnr.sc.gov, faxed to 803-734-3691, or mailed no later than Sept. 12 to Summer Turkey Survey P.O. Box 167 Columbia, SC 29202.

Beaufort pastor dies at 86
Robert Edward “Bob” Cuttino, former pastor of The Baptist Church of Beaufort, died June 23. After graduating from Edmunds High School, Cuttino earned degrees from Wofford College and Yale University as well as an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from Furman University, according to Copeland Funeral Service. “His pastorates in South Carolina — in Williston, Fairfax, Lake City, Lancaster and Beaufort — spanned some 65 years,” according to his obituary provided by Copeland Funeral Service. "During that time he served the Southern Baptist denomination with distinction in various capacities. Cuttino was recognized by Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow for promoting international understanding.” He also co-founded Operation Good Neighbor, which brought racially diverse churches together to meet community needs. A memorial service was held June 25. Donations can be made to The Baptist Church of Beaufort, 600 Charles St., Beaufort, SC 29902. JUNE 30 - JULY 6, 2016

Our favorite scenes are windows into our souls A recent post by one of my friends on social media asked what people considered their favorite sight when looking out the window. It was fascinating to read and see the favorite scenes that people revealed. Some of the examples included the ocean waves on the beach; a snow-covered mountain with ski slopes; the desert with mesas in the background; the New York City skyline. As I went back through the posts and read the different comments, I realized that their windows were a reflection of them and revealed their own passions: the sailor who loved the water, the skier that longed for the slopes, the hiker who enjoyed camping out in the desert and the entertainer who loved the city. It got even more interesting as the number of comments increased. While reading the posts, I discovered new insights about some of my friends. For the couple who struggled for years to

For my friend that had always wanted to
go to France, the sight of the Eiffel Tower from her hotel room was important. Many people mentioned wanting to look out the window at the Magic Kingdom.
For a woman driving home from a tough day at work, looking out the car window at the sight of her own garage was enough for that day. For many immigrants, looking out the ship’s window and seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time is their favorite scene. Then there are the soldiers returning home and looking out the airplane window, knowing family and friends are waiting for them. I thought of the window scenes I have loved seeing during my own life.

Macdonald’s MarketPlace celebrates local region
The essence of Lowcountry living and so much more is offered at the new Macdonald’s MarketPlace, which opened June 18 at 853 Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena Island. The MarketPlace includes myriad items, from handcrafted jewelry, furniture, linens and lampshades to fresh local produce, flowers and prepared foods. Also currently on display are the works of more than 15 artists and artisans. “We wanted a store that not only shared the talents and treasures of local artisans, but one that celebrated the foods, flowers and culture of our region,” said Martha Sanders, one of the owners. The store and its building are teeming with history. In 1877, James Ross Macdonald settled in the Lowcountry and built the first general store on St. Helena Island. It quickly became a center of social and business activity for the Sea Islands. Generations later, the family is once again running the store he founded on the principles he exemplified: to share with others the vibrancy and robustness of the Sea Islands, but, in today’s world, with broader borders. “We wanted a store that united unique, local artisans in one, inspiring collective space,” said Lea Taylor. “It’s a tribute to our community.” Macdonald’s MarketPlace is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday. For more information, call 843-838-1810 or visit macdonaldmarketplace.com to see a complete list of artists and artisans on display.

tionwide. Additionally, the speed limit and work zone restrictions are heavily advertised. Rumor: Traffic tickets are a big-time moneymaker for the city of Beaufort. Facts: The state of South Carolina takes 60 percent of collected traffic fees. The Beaufort Police Department and court have agreed to keep the fines in most cases at the minimum level of $185.63 vs. the legal limit of $445. Data from two weeks in April show that 51 percent of vehicles in the Boundary Street work zone were traveling faster than 40 mph — where the speed limit is 35 mph. Rumor: Beaufort city taxpayers are footing the entire cost of the Boundary Street construction project. Facts: The construction is funded through three sources: - A Federal Highway Administration competitive grant of $12.635 million; - The Beaufort County
1-cent sales tax of $11.346 million; - And the city of Beaufort’s TIF II estimated contribution of about $8.223 million. Other questions The recent weekend closure of Boundary Street at Robert Smalls Parkway to accommodate storm drainage crossings — with two additional closures requiring the same detour for the same reason — brings up additional questions about why these obstacles were not identified in previous studies. John Williams, spokesman for the city of Beaufort, said, “Because some of the lines were built in the 1950s and 1960s and were buried beneath pavement that was paved over several times, the contractor and engineers expected a few surprises — they just couldn't tell where or when they'd find them.” The next anticipated closure will tentatively be the weekend of July 8, with another at the end of July after the Water Festival ends or in early August. The Boundary Street Redevelopment project, which is scheduled for completion in 2018, will feature im-

proved intersections with traffic signals, left-turn lanes, a landscaped middle median and sidewalks and pathways for pedestrians. For residents and visitors, improved safety for drivers and pedestrians, a more visually attractive roadway and safer access to businesses are some of the promised results. Until that time, patience is key, say city officials. “I understand that this will take time and I appreciate everyone’s patience,” said Mayor Billy Keyserling. “In the meantime, if you see anything we can do to make things better, let us know. Basically, if you see something, say something, and we will see what we can do.”

agencies that seek to attract any type of company from outside the region, the Beaufort Digital Corridor will promote Beaufort’s quality of life and focus on creating the business, social and education environments that are attractive to tech and tech-related companies. The first step for the Beaufort Digital Corridor project will be the renovation and up-fit of office space at 500 Carteret St., just blocks from Bay Street and the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. About 5,000 square feet of the structure’s total 18,000 square feet will be converted for use by small new tech companies. Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop, who worked closely with Murray and the Redevelopment Commission to create the Beaufort Digital Corridor, said office space at 500 Carteret St. could be renovated by mid-fall and the first 10-12 participants could be working in the center by late December. “Our goal is 10 to 12 by the end of this year, and
100 participants here at BASEcamp within five years,” Prokop said in the release. “There are a lot of strategies to put into play to make that happen, but we are ideally located to tap our talent bank with the Marine Corps Air Station, USCB and the Technical College of the Lowcountry right outside the door.” The city of Beaufort will establish an operating partnership with the Charleston Digital Corridor to utilize its hands-on experience and expertise to execute a similar business development strategy for Beaufort. In essence, the Charleston group will incubate Beaufort’s tech and tech-related business development effort. The success of the Beaufort Digital Corridor will require meaningful participation from the local community. “We will seek private professional and financial partners to assist us with making the Beaufort Digital Corridor successful.” Keyserling said in the release. “Together we need to make this work.” In the 1990s, many national surveys consistently ranked Charleston at or near
the top of desired places to live. As in Beaufort in recent years, the accolades were primarily tied to history, preservation, hospitality and livability. But a closer look at the Beaufort and Charleston data raised concerns. Both economies were heavily dependent on the “lower wage” visitor industry; the cost of living was rising at a dramatic rate while percapita wages were stagnant; and a significant percentage of higher-education graduates were leaving the area for employment elsewhere due to lack of economic opportunity. “The issues facing Beaufort are strikingly similar to Charleston’s challenges in the 1990s, namely rising cost of living, dependence on military establishments, visitor-centric development, stagnating wage-levels and brain drain,” said Ernest Andrade, executive director of the Charleston Digital Corridor in the release. Andrade said the project is a “business development initiative” because it will focus on helping homegrown and local talent create new tech-related businesses, rather than traveling to other states or other countries to recruit existing companies.

Large Marsh Tacky herd to be auctioned off Saturday By Aileen Goldstein
D.P. Lowther walks up to the gate of a pasture on his land in Walterboro and starts calling. “Come on, come on,” he says in an almost yodel. A herd of horses in the distance perk up and start heading toward him. As the horses come up to the gate, Lowther puts his hand out. He points out detail with ease, like which colt belongs to which mare, which mares that are soon to give birth and which horse is healing from an injury. He has loved these horses so much over the years that he is known for almost single-handedly saving this unique breed. Now, however, he is auctioning off much of his herd Saturday, July 2, in Ridgeland. The horses are a rare breed specific to South Carolina called Marsh Tackys. They are descendents of the Spanish colonial horses, along with the Florida Cracker horse and the Banker horse of North Carolina, brought to the new world by Christopher Columbus over 500 years ago. Although many of the first human settlers did not survive, the horses thrived. At one time, hundreds of Marsh Tacky horses lived in the islands and Lowcountry of South Carolina, surviving the marshes and elements. The horses became of way of life for the people who lived on the islands of Hilton Head and Daufuskie. “They made a living with them, farming, pulling a wagon and hauling wood. They were a vehicle of transportation,” said Lowther. Eventually, industry and development took over and the numbers dwindled. There are now less than 400 of the horses in existence. Back in the day, Lowther’s father used mules to haul cypress logs out of the swamps near Ridgeland. He eventually traded mules for a couple of Marsh Tacky horses that had to be brought over by flat-bottomed bateau boats since a bridge to Hilton Head Island had not yet been built. As a youth, Lowther’s father made him responsible for driving the family’s cows out to pasture in the mornings and bringing them home in the evenings. He used two Marsh Tacky horses to round up the cows, one for the morning trip and the other for the daily evening trip. Thus began Lowther’s love for the breed. In fact, Lowther has been a leader in the preservation of the breed. In 2010, the Marsh Tacky was named South Carolina
State Heritage Horse, with the help of Lowther. “When I was young, I wanted to own 100 horses. I did it,” he said with a laugh. In fact, Lowther owns the largest herd of Marsh Tacky horses in the world. After a century of family history with this breed, Lowther is auctioning off a large portion of his herd. “I have too many horses and I want to spread the breed,” he said. According to Lowther, “The disposition is easy to get along with, to bond with. They are very friendly and very tough.” Lowther then points out one of his horse as an example of good composition, adding, “These horses have been my life for many, many years.” The auction will take place at 12:30 p.m. at Folly Moon Farm, located at 1824 Smiths Crossing in Ridgeland. The sale will include yearlings, 2-year-olds, mares with colts and several mature stallions. For more information, call 843726-1274 or 843-726-8845.
From top: D.P. Lowther looks out over the horses that been his lifelong passion; The herd runs through the pasture when their owner, D.P. Lowther calls. The Marsh Tacky breed's unusual gait has been called the “Swamp Fox Trot;” A colt stays close to its mother. D.P. Lowther says a mare is capable of becoming impregnated just 11 days post birth.

AROUND TOWN DragonBoat Beaufort, Beaufort Arts Council announce T-shirt contest winner
Heike Helbig’s design has been selected for the official Dragonboat Race Day 2016 commemorative shirt by DragonBoat Beaufort and the Beaufort Arts Council. Her innovative design celebrates Beaufort and the Lowcountry while paying homage to the dragon, the symbol of the upcoming Dragonboat Race Day on Saturday, Sept. 3. Dragonboat Race Day will be held at Henry C. Chambers Park in downtown Beaufort. Over the last three years, this event has become increasingly popular among locals and out-of-towners alike. The 2015 Dragonboat Race Day drew nearly 700 paddlers, 32 teams and
thousands of spectators to the Beaufort seawall. This will be the fourth annual event for the nonprofit organization. Anyone can form a dragonboat team to compete at Dragonboat Race Day 2016. A dragonboat team consists of 20 paddlers, two alternates (recommended) and one drummer. All teams will be trained on how to safely and successfully paddle a dragonboat with ex-
perienced coaches and boat steerers. On race day, teams will paddle in three races competing for medals. In the past, teams have included civic clubs, community neighborhoods, local businesses, cancer-survivors, schools and hospitals. Last year, teams raised over $65,000, which is used to support those impacted by cancer in Beaufort County. DragonBoat Beaufort awards outreach grants to local cancer patients to assist with specific needs they are unable to afford or for which they lack coverage.

WINE
We come to these wines like moths to the light
It’s always so interesting what some names mean. And, in the wine world, so many are particularly interesting. Winery names, region names, grape names … all of it. I suspect this week we’ll find a few more. For our wine this week, we return to an often-visited, by us, region of Spain. Rioja. Right there, we have an interesting name. The region is named for its closeness to the River Ja. Rio Ja. For years we just thought it was a name with no meaning. Rioja is an official Spanish DOCa, the top legal level for its wines. The region is located in North Central Spain. Riojas can be white or rosé, but they are 85 percent red wines. The red wines come in various stages of aging. Crianza wines are the youngest with two years aging, one in wooden barrels. Reserva Riojas are aged for three years, still with at least one in oak barrels. Gran Reserva Riojas are aged at least two years in oak barrels and three years in their bottles. As the aging of the wine increases, so does the quality of the grapes used to make it and the price we pay for it.

JUNE 30 - JULY 6, 2016
The main grape variety used in red Rioja is Tempranillo. It’s probably safe to say that if you like wines made from Tempranillo, you really, really like them. The name “Tempranillo” comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” which means “early.” It’s not a particularly interesting name, but it does tell us that this variety ripens early. There is an old legend that this grape ended up in Northern Spain with Cistercian monks. They carried Pinot Noir cuttings with them from Burgundy and left some behind in the Spanish towns they traveled through. These cuttings, according to the legend, morphed into Tempranillo. Now, that’s a good story! Tempranillo wines are mediumto deep-ruby colored when young. They can be long-lived wines and can improve significantly with aging. This is possible, partly, because Tempranillo has a low level of oxidizing enzyme. The grapes are black and thick-skinned and the wines tend toward higher alcohol levels. Also, this grape has low to medium levels of natural acidity and medium to high levels of tannins. With these character-

istics, Tempranillo wines are firm and round at the same time. It’s no wonder we like them. Fruit flavors in Tempranillo include strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, black currant, red stone fruits, cherry, plum, raisin and prune. Spicy notes in these wines include vanilla, dried herbs, clove and cinnamon. Herbal undertones are green herbs, mint and eucalyptus. Earthy flavors are wet earth, leather, minerality, tobacco and graphite. And, from barrel aging, these wines get vanilla, cedar, oak and soft spices. Complexities and layers are all good things. Food pairings for Tempranillo are numerous. Beef, lamb, veal, pork, poultry and seafood can all do well with Tempranillo wines. The key to pairing with this grape is the seasonings. Paprika, olives, garlic, roasted garlic, onions, red onions,
mushrooms, bell peppers, capers, black pepper, tomatoes, prunes, almonds, saffron, olive oil. What’s not to like? Our Tempranillo this week comes from Viña Herminia. The name, “Herminia,” is related to the name “Herman.” But it also means beautiful, young, pretty and an old-Latin closely-related name means “moth.” And, moths to the light are like us coming to try this wine. Viña Herminia was founded in 1949 by descendants of another high-quality Spanish winery. At the end if the 1990s, it branched out to make Rioja wines. Bodega Viña Herminia was created in 1997. It is a modern winery, shaped like the letter H. A symbol of its initial, Herminia winemaking pays its respects to the old Spanish traditions and incorporates modern techniques in with them. Also, the grapes
are from only the best terroirs. The winery’s goal is to create La Rioja wines of the highest quality, and its wines are stylish and universally well-liked. The multitude of awards it has won proves it. Our wine is Viña Herminia Rioja Reserva 2009. A 90-point-plus wine in many wine publications, it is round, rich and flavorful. It is cherry-red in color with a rich cherry-red meniscus. Its aromas are full and hearty and fresh. Red fruits galore with plums and blackberries, creamy vanilla, cloves and cinnamon, and a hint of deep rose. It is richly textured with a long, lingering finish. This wine is made from 85 percent Tempranillo, 10 percent Garnacha and 5 percent Graciano. It is aged in barrels for 18 months, and then 18 more months in its bottles, a great excuse to flock into the light of Rioja wines. But, there’s more. Usually this wine cost about $25 or more. For us, though, it’s $19.99. We can flock more often! Enjoy.

He also notched a pass defended, a forced fumble, four quarterback hits and 23 QB hurries. Taylor was called for just one penalty, which is tied for the fourth-fewest among 4-3 defensive ends that played at least 500 snaps according to PFF. He was credited with nine sacks by PFF, which ranked 10th among 4-3 defensive ends. His six-sack improvement tied for 10th best in the NFL for the 2015 season.

Celebrating
Beaufort Memorial
Keyserling Cancer Center Celebrates 10 Years of
OUR PROVIDERS
Caring for the Community On a sunny afternoon in 2006 hundreds of people gathered in Port Royal, South Carolina, to celebrate the grand opening of the area’s first cancer center, a place where patients could be treated in the comfort of their community, and in the company of caring physicians and staff. Our center was named in honor of longtime Beaufort Memorial Hospital physician and community member B. Herbert Keyserling, M.D., and supported by generous donors throughout the area, and its opening marked both an end and a beginning: the end of traveling great distances to receive life-saving cancer care and the beginning of comprehensive cancer services close to home. Beaufort Memorial’s affiliation with MUSC Health expands that care by providing local access to cancer clinical trials through one of the country’s elite, NCI-designated cancer centers —just one more demonstration of our commitment to helping our community live well.
Harriet Keyserling cuts the ribbon to the Keyserling Cancer Center in 2006.
