WHAT’S INSIDE?
world oceans day
By Tess Malijenovsky
Fashioned by the United Nations General Assembly in 2008, World Oceans Day will be celebrated throughout the month of June in Beaufort as a dedication to a life-giving resource — water. Being part of a county that is 50 percent land and 50 percent water, it’s safe to say that Beaufortonians have an amphibious nature. The local community’s deep respect for water will
shine on World Oceans Day as a dynamic array of organizations and businesses come together to raise awareness of the challenges facing the oceans and waterways of the world. To kick off the celebration, Beaufort
Conservation District, based in Port Royal, was one of eight applicants out of 70 in the country to receive a competitive grassroots grant from the BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety & Clean Water. These funds will help sponsor a marine debris education and disposal initiative program called the Clean Marine project.

Beaufort to sell underused parcels to buy new park land, open space Following up on detailed studies since 2010 and guidance already received through Beaufort’s master planning process of “city-building,” Beaufort leaders are seeking real estate help to sell off or trade underutilized city-owned parcels. Among the properties is a potential home site on Ribaut Road that reaches to the Beaufort River shores. “We are at the point now where we know we own some properties that are under utilized by the public, expensive to maintain and don’t fit in to our projected future needs. We know we need some additional parcels to provide and improve parklands and open space for our residents and the community at large,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. The Beaufort County Open Land Trust and the Beaufort Planning and Parks Departments have been reviewing the city’s open space and parks since April 2010. The Beaufort Redevelopment Commission this week is advertising for a real estate firm to assess property values for sale and will later assess yet to be disclosed parcels for improvement
response from billy keyserling Beaufort’s mayor responds to a letter from a citizen “confused about the status of public works redevelopment iniatives and concern that the city is perhaps taking on too much at one time.” See his full response online at www.yourislandnews.com. and purchase. The ability to prepare and execute a plan of action for the acquisition and sale of public properties is central to the request for proposals. Expertise in commercial property valuations, and marketing with experience in potentially complex trades and swaps also will be weighted heavily in the selection, according to the RFP. Responses are due to City Manager Scott Dadson by noon Friday, June 8. The real estate firm to be hired will help the city with appraisals of the properties to be sold and with listing, marketing and selling the land. Revenues from the sales
will go toward buying property for parks that is in better locations or provides other benefits, such as linking greenways or scenic vistas and making long overdue investment in existing parks needing attention, Dadson said. “As we begin the serious work on the Boundary Street Redevelopment Corridor, and as the first phase of the Spanish Moss Rail Trail begin, we want to be ready with our open space and park plan,” he said. Parcels considered for sale include: • 410 Ribaut Road, Northeast corner of North Street and Ribaut Road. • Wilson Park, a waterfront parcel on Ribaut Road • Rodgers Street lot • Prince Street pump station Police Storage Unit at Ribaut and Duke • Parking lot at the Federal Courthouse along Bay Street. “We must have an experienced real estate firm that understands our needs, understands the constraints we work under, and understands how all these pieces fit together in our quest to build a better Beaufort,” Keyserling said.
BJWSA to remove center pedestal from Whale Branch Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) will remove the center pedestal and bulwarks associated with the Port Royal Railroad in the Whale Branch. The project is part of the demolition of the Port Royal Railroad, which began in 2010. BJWSA purchased the Railroad in 2009 to be used as a utility corridor. The demolition project will begin
during the first full week of June, and it will be complete by July. “We are removing these materials in the interest of safety, and we encourage boaters to be very careful while travelling in the area” said Ed Saxon, BJWSA’s Deputy General Manager. BJWSA’s contractor (Cape Romain from Wando, SC) will have a barge stationed near the demolition, but the
waterway will remain passable during the project. The area will have signage and be well lit at night. Boaters are urged to follow any directional signs and use caution navigating the area. Once the demolition project is finished, BJWSA will have substantially finished removing the Port Royal Railroad ties, ballast and other materials.

Navigating the Graduation Maze By Jack Sparacino
For some of us, growing up can seem almost like a race to graduate from school so we can begin our adult lives. Lots of studying, lots of thinking about what may lie beyond. If we’re lucky, we get an uplifting, inspirational speech at graduation from someone accomplished, someone special. Someone who’s “been there, done that.” Perhaps even someone who hints at all the learning and unofficial graduations that lie ahead. Not linear, not always predictable, sometimes confusing or troubling. Humorous, fun, even rewarding, if you’re lucky. These graduations are rather like a maze to navigate through and, hopefully, to be inspired by. And they start early in life, way before the great speech. Here are a few that have come my way so far. 1. No more high chairs or phone books on your seat at the dinner table. Hey, you’re tall enough to eat at the grown-up table without getting a boost. And no more bibs! (Now if there were only a way to steer around those pesky vegetables ...) 2. Growing tall enough to ride roller coasters and other carnival rides. Congratulations, the top of your head sticks up above the cutoff line drawn on
Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in psychological and medical journals. He is retired from United Technologies Corporation and now lives with his wife, Jane and their two dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.
the board placed before the ride. Get on board, hold tight. And don’t shrink even an inch or they might throw you off! 3. Getting your driver’s license. Well, the lessons paid off, now we’re getting somewhere. Freedom, independence. A photo ID. Gas bills. Traffic. How much did you say the insurance is? Getting lost, figuring it out. The best music of your life on the radio or CD player. Prom night. Yikes! 4. Being old enough to vote. Eighteen — what a great age. The world is starting to treat you like an adult. You have a say in elections. Your vote counts just as much as anyone else’s. 5. Getting that first “real” job. In my case as a line worker in a large assembly plant in Milwaukee, Wisc., in the summer after freshman year. Making stuff that customers need. Punching a time clock. Earning money for school. Working with “grownups.” 6. Being able to afford some things that used to be out of reach. Back in my student days at The University of Chicago, going to the Museum of
Science and Industry was free. Good thing, too, because I seldom had much “walking around” money, and going to the museum was a great break from the classroom. They now charge $15 general admission, which would be fine if I could remember where East 57th Street is. And back then, by the way, a fully loaded hotdog from the street guy’s truck cost a dime. They were great. So did a soda and the daily paper. I don’t miss having to figure out whether to get the soda or the paper but not both. 7. Starting a family. The first baby arrives. You and your spouse have arrived. The diapers, lack of sleep, magical developmental milestones, trips a few years later to places you’ve never considered going before (Chuck E. Cheese anyone?) and unbridled pride and joy have all chugged out of the station. Take a deep breath, that train isn’t turning back. 8. Being told that “life begins at 40.” Hey wait a minute ... that sounds like a marketing ploy. Too glib, too easy. Eventually you figure out that living your
life the way you really want to begins the day you make the decision to do it. (Of course a plan would be nice, too, and some comfortable shoes.) Jack 9. Getting that Sparacino invitation letter. You know, the one from AARP CEO Addison Barry Rand asking you to please consider joining this fine organization. Hey, that’s for old people, I’m only ... 50. That’s ancient for a package of baloney, really old for a car, not very old for a person. No, not very old at all. But hey, thanks for thinking of me and I’d love to have another card in my wallet and some travel discounts. 10. Shades of gray. Noticing that most of your remaining hair is now gray. Even in the back. Not a problem, just call it silver. Voila! 11. Getting senior discounts without even asking. This is actually fun the first time or two. Then maybe you start to wonder, “Do I look that old? Well, maybe I look distinguished anyway.” Yeah, that’s it, distinguished. You’re making it through the maze. Congratulations, grab the camera. And say “Cheese,” buddy!
Ramble on Rose By Cherimie Crane Weatherford With tightly closed sleep-infused eyes, the stare penetrates through my slumbering soul. Similar to the way a sudden flash of lightening interrupts a summer’s sky, the electricity reverberates through my resting limbs. Not my lack of sleep, my overworked bones or my desperate need for rest hinders her morning mission. The sun signals her rise, the birds sing her good morning and there is absolutely nowhere for me to hide. Retreating under the covers does nothing but encourage her. Any visible skin is an immediate and available target. It is as if the world is her oyster and I am her hesitant pearl. Her name is Rosie, and she is my dog. Weighing in at an intimidating 11 pounds with at least half of that credited to her misbehaving mane, she begins each morning with a full-blown attack consisting of finger gnawing, face licking, hair pulling and ear nibbling glee. Such unrequited happiness comes without warning and without opportunity to adequately prepare with copious
Cherimie Crane Weatherford

amounts of caffeine. If one should ever doubt that animals know happiness, eagerness, excitement or anticipation, let that doubting soul rise with my Rambling Rose. Such an awkward little being, she is without pedigree, without showing caliber and without a doubt the happiest soul trotting through life. Obedience isn’t her forte and her uncanny ability to, without fail, choose only the most expensive of chew toys is a thing of beauty. Her morning rousing ritual is only the beginning of my daily Rosie encounters. She reminds me that sleeping late gains nothing, greeting the day with play solves
everything, and to make absolutely certain my shoes are not left on the floor. This pint-size Plato has a philosophy that if borrowed, changes everything. No complicated client, difficult day, or real estate rumble is a match for the relentless exuberance of my dear Rosie. Drudging through my door after having the shrapnel of a bomb-wielding economy hit me from all sides, she gives me no reprieve. There is no time for reflection or pity, no time to complain or comfort. If the sun still graces the sky, there is reason to throw a ball. Barely able to shed the weight of the day, she drops it at my feet until I surrender. She doesn’t ask if I am tired, she cares not if my contracts close. Construction chaos means nothing to Rambling Rose. I am home, I am healthy,
the world is a good place. This strange little creature has taught me more about the will to live, the will to love, and the will to hide under my covers more than any human I can recall. Her simple existence reminds me of the simplicity of happiness. She has no fear, she has no regret and she has no chance of taming her harrowing hair. As a rescue; she knows how to survive and as a female she knows how to persuade. She navigates through the oversized world with pint-size paws and the will to greet each day with a kiss and a smile. If you don’t have a colorful companion such as Rambling Rose, maybe you should consider it, it does keep life in perspective, sadness at bay and alarm clocks unnecessary.

Jonah and his Whale Part VI: The End of the Story By Danette Vernon
In 2005, I wrote a series of articles that chronicled what happened the “day after” my youngest son’s graduation. One he would never attend, since he had died nearly two years before. I walked away from that day and kept going. I moved. I went as far west from South Carolina as land could take me, stopping only at the edge of the sea. I went on an adventure to find my life’s purpose and happiness. Many of us think, “If only I could run away and have an adventure, I’d be changed. I’d be different.” For some few, running off, running away, making huge life changes, works. They find their elusive Life’s Purpose — the Holy Grail of our times. Others just want to be happier where they are, in their own life, like Gretchen Rubin, the author of a book, “The Happiness Project.” Gretchen spent a year trying out various maxims, singing in the morning, cleaning closets, keeping a gratitude notebook, using better manners, and finding more ways to have fun. In doing so, she confirmed Abraham Lincoln’s words, “The more things that make you happy, the happier you’ll be.” But for me, when I left for a summer on the shores of a California coast and the sounds of the seals in the mornings, I was looking to answer a different question,“Oh purity: Is it still possible? Is it possible still

to be pure again?” A quote from “Marie Rainier Rilke and Benevento: an Intimate Correspondence.” I didn’t find the answer, but I did develop the “habit of adventure.” I also bought Gretchen’s book, and considered as I read how I too might live a little bit happier each day. It is the daily practice that makes us who we are. But what about the question: “Oh purity, is it still possible?” It was the wrong question. It was, simply put, the hook that I hung my own lack of self-acceptance on. In the past, I perceived all of my errors as “stains” on the “white garment” of my possible goodness, rather than just the stuff that is a part of being a human being. So what happened next? I could say that I worked through all of my problems, issues and dysfunctions,
Your PercePtion vs. Your realitY Believe it or not, there are people on track to reach their financial goals, but the only way they know they’re on track is that they took the time for figure it out. Knowing where to start remains the first major obstacle for most people when it come to financial planning. If you never start the process you have two problems: 1. You have no idea where you are: what I call your current reality 2. You have no defined goals It’s rather hard to arrive at a destination with a trip plan that lacks a beginning and an end. Of course the other issue with having no plan is the low-grade headache it creates because you do have a sense of where you are and where you want to go, but no idea if you’re on track. We all know the feeling of lying in bed wondering if we’re going to make it. Getting started is really just as simple as taking the time and getting the help to: • Clearly define your current reality, where are you today • Put some framework around where you want to go The task of assessing future financial needs can be daunting. Often we have perceptions that,
It’s important to understand that things will change. No matter how much time we spend creating a plan it can’t capture everything about our future reality. All we’re trying to do is make the best guess we can and move on. If you understand that these are guesses (very important guesses), then you can give yourself permission to not obsess over them. Make the best guess you can with the information you have, and then commit to revisit it often enough to make course corrections long before you veer too far off course. The other wonderful thing that will happen is that often we find out that even though our perception of our future financial needs was not even close to reality, we gain a sense of control that helps us focus on living our lives NOW. In many cases, we learn that we do have enough money and time to meet our goals. It might not even be a situation of needing to grit our teeth and save more, but we never know until we take the time to plan!

Want to find your life’s purpose, what might drive you, finally, to get off of your butt and “do something”?

He found out, through extensive investigation, that if you want to be happy, then every morning, when you first open your email, take a moment and write a quick note of praise or gratitude to someone. In other words, practice “deliberate kindness”. At the end of the day, one, record three NEW things to be grateful for, and two, journal on a positive experience you had during the day. 6. Finally, and most importantly, have friends who operate above you, friends who are wiser, more experienced, and more kind and gentle then you can ever imagine being; people who are open, intimate, and non-judgmental. That’s what I have, and it has been my saving grace.

but really, as noted by philosopher Wayne Dyer, I simply “outgrew” them instead. How do you outgrow “old solutions” — the ones that ain’t working — to your life’s problems? A recap: 1. Kevin Trudeau, noted expert on transformation, outlines his steps for change: 1. Find out who has successfully gone before you, and read about them, Online, in books; comment on their blogs, make friends with them, talk to them if possible, i.e. look for mentors, dead or alive. 2. Assess your willingness to learn, to change. 3. When considering any goal — doing the first thing in front of you is always the next step. 2. Philosopher Wayne Dyer, says, “Stop The Intellectual Violence” in your head. “STOP” the endless negative chatter in your head about yourself and others. Here’s the secret: When you begin to forgive yourself, and therefore treat yourself, and your own frailties and flaws, with tenderness, you’ll stop criticizing, judging, and controlling others towards some unattainable summit of perfection .How you treat others is a reflection of how you treat yourself. 3. Life will change for you when you start to believe that all that befalls you is for your greater good. All events are neutral, only you give them meaning. So rewrite your life’s story.

This week’s article stems from a Facebook discussion that arose from a personal dilemma of my own, in which I woke up late one morning and had no time to do both hair and makeup in order to be on time to school — beauty school, nonetheless. My normal morning routine of rising at 5 a.m. usually allows time for prayer, a brisk walk on my treadmill, shower, makeup and hair, all in that order. However, this day in particular and for whatever reason, I had run short on time. As I sat at my vanity, looking in the mirror and glancing over my shoulder at the clock ticking away, the million dollar question to myself was: “Do I apply flawless makeup and simply pull my hair into a ponytail? Or do I take the time to hot curl my hair with flowing, soft Kim Kardashian curls and skip the makeup?” After a moments thought, my personal choice was to go glam with full makeup and toss my hair into a low, shoulder gracing ponytail with side swept, swoop bangs. Later that day, after receiving many compliments on how great my makeup looked, I decided to post the question on my Facebook page, just for fun. To my surprise, having hair done over makeup turned out to be the majority

vote, and though I can not say that I agree, I will say that there is no right or wrong answer. As my panel of friends has made clear, to each her own regarding what makes you look and feel good. Beauty has always been and will always be a personal matter of the individual in which the act, attire or attitude is reflected. Beauty is a choice, a style and in a class all her own. Kim N. makes a great point and said that she would rather have “Flawless hair and skin au naturale with some lip gloss! Hair is a women’s glory and as long as something is on the lips, no one will even notice ...” While Brenda B. positively points out that, “ ...If your makeup is right, your crazy hair will appear as if you’re making a statement. Check out a fashion runway model. Their hair can be standing all over their head, but they look great!” What’s your personal style of choice?

From the inferno of life and kilns comes art, in the form of useful pottery, hilarious plays, and astounding careers. On Friday, June 8, a new gallery show opens at ARTworks, “The Art of Clay” showcasing the works of Jada Gray, Hank D. Herring and Trevor Foster. Meet these talented artists from 5-7 p.m. — they’ve even made new clay dishes for the refreshments. At 7:30 p.m., the play “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” begins. Not only is this production about art, Einstein, love and special visitors from the future, but it’s written by
Steve Martin, that admirably wild and crazy guy. Even displayed in a clean, well-lit gallery, clay is a primitive material — and in the hands of Gray, Foster, and Herring, it is a beautiful and functional material. For this show and sale in the gallery at ARTworks throughout June, these three artists, as well as their specially invited friends, present collectible

“Boy” from the World Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. Synopsis: The year is 1984, and on the rural East Coast of New Zealand M i c h a e l Jackson’s “Thriller” is changing kids’ lives. “Boy” is the hilarious and heartfelt coming-ofage tale about heroes and magic. Boy is a
dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother Rocky, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan. His other hero, his father, Alamein, is the subject of Boy’s fantasies, and he imagines him as a deep sea diver, war hero and a close relation of Michael Jackson. In reality he’s in jail for robbery. When Alamein returns home after 7 years, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he imagined, learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for, and find his own way in life. Ratings & Reviews: This warm dramatic comedy film carries an IMDb rating of 7.3 and Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 87 and Audience: 87. Very high ratings. Newspaper critics say good things: Roger
objects that have been hand built, thrown on the wheel, intertwined with handwoven baskets, glazed, and set into the inferno of the raku process. They’ve created vessels and vases and drums and urns and many more delightful forms that give beauty to the home and garden. Peruse the gallery anytime Tuesdays through Saturdays. The Art of Clay will remain up through June. “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” however, ends Sunday, June 10. Get information and tickets at www.artworksinbeaufort. org or by calling 379-2787.
Ebert:“... delightful ... emotionally generous and moving tragicomedy”; Philadelphia Inquirer: “... charmer, a funny and affecting coming-of-age story rendered with heart, and with nuttiness.” Previewer Comments: This World film in English presents eye candy sweeping views of New Zealand as well as an intimate view of the updated tribal culture of the original natives. It also brings to mind our own childhood dreams, when the truth/reality played almost no role at all. The film is truly delightful, primarily due the main child actor’s ability to portray his character in an extraordinarily natural way. We root for him in our hearts to make the “right” choices in the end. Rated: Unrated, but could be PG-13. “The Perfect Family” from The World Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Wednesday, June 13 at 6:30 p.m. Synopsis: A suburban mother and devout Catholic, Eileen Cleary, played by Katherine Turner, who has always kept up outward appearances, runs for the Catholic Woman of the Year title at her local parish. Her final test is introducing her family to the board for their approval and proof of her excellence as a Catholic child rearing mother. However, this forces her to finally face the nonconformist family she has been glossing over for years. Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 5.2; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 48. Audience: 50. Average marks. New York Times: “Turner’s performance is the deepest and truest element ...” Previewer Comments: This Indie drama, with some comedy, forces us to be real about our attempts at outward perfection versus the reality within. Here is a mother who is trying to present perfection and yet ignoring the big imperfections in her life and family, while focusing on the minor ones. The film presents a rigid view of the Catholic religion without much nuance as to how a religion can assist a family dealing with real issues that are less than perfection ... and perhaps that is point, only when we confront and expose our imperfections can we address them. Rated: PG-13 for mature themes 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.

Washington comes to Beaufort and a Beaufortonian goes to Washington By Lanier Laney

It kicked off last Sunday night with a small reception for the HBF board and Preservation Leadership Training participants. Twenty participants and four trainers have been touring Beaufort all week looking at particular properties as case studies. They have spent the week reviewing the data and developing feasible proposals for parcels at 702 Bladen Street, the 1400 Block of Duke Street, and the Von Harten building on Carteret. The training ends with a public presentation of their findings at the Verdier House at 6:15 p.m. tonight.

Expressions of Survivorship celebrates life Cancer survivor shares her positive ‘Attitude’ By Marie McAden
C
ancer survivors gathered at the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Keyserling Cancer Center on Sunday, June 2, to celebrate life at “Expressions of Survivorship.” The third annual event included food, live music by Davis Marshall, artwork, as well as remarks from the director of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Oncology Services Connie Duke, RN, OCN; Medical Director of the hospital’s oncology services Majd Chahin, MD; Cancer survivor, teacher and artist Arnetta Devlin; and cancer survivor and motivational speaker Hugh Gouldthorpe. Here are some pictures from the inspiring event.
Few people would look at cancer as an opportunity for enrichment. But then, most people aren’t like Arnetta Devlin. “You don’t always get a choice in life,” said the five-year breast cancer survivor. “You have to take what you’re given and make the most of it. It’s all about attitude.” Devlin took her positive outlook on cancer and turned it into an award-winning Devlin with her award-winning artwork. work of art.“Attitude,” a three-dimensional quilt of a sunrise over stormy waters, was a lumpectomy and undergoing months of chosen for the Lilly Oncology on Canvas chemotherapy and radiation treatments, traveling exhibition recently on display at her journey, she said, was not without its the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer rewards.

Remember all those stories you lived and probably even shared with friends about growing up in Beaufort? Remember when Mizu was the Piggy Park? And going to the Greenlawn Drive-In, the Breeze Theatre or the Shack? Remember when Koth’s was the place to go for boiled peanuts or Pruitt’s Grocery Store on Ribaut Road was where you went after school to turn in your soda bottles for a refund and a handful of penny candy? Remember when Joe’s Spaghetti house and the Yankee were “fine dining”, when Mossy Oaks had only dirt roads and there was no gate at Hunting Island beach? Remember when there was no Waterfront Park, when the waterside of the shops on Bay Street hung over the water, and the Water Festival was so much smaller and events were held under the “shell” in the marina parking lot? Well, sit back, relax and prepare to be entertained as three “not so reliable” local Beaufort “boys” tell “Beaufort Stories Your Momma Never Told You!” On Saturday, June 16, Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort will host its sixth annual dinner theater at The Shed in Port Royal. The three “unreliables” — Bernie Schein, Steven Keyserling and Harry Chikades — will entertain you with their stories of growing up in Beaufort at a time when “Beaufort wasn’t crowded.” Through story-telling and the use of photographs, they will share their personal, humorous and sometimes not so humorous tales of life as they saw it on the streets of Beaufort. Setting the story-telling mood for the evening, Ron Daise, former star of
Three local ‘not so reliable boys’ tell “Beaufort Stories Your Mama Never Told You.” “Gullah, Gullah Island” will start the evening off with some stories of his own, Gullah style. The evening’s events will also offer 10 different food stations with various entrees, salads, sides and desserts all prepared by local chefs, a silent auction and a very retro photo booth. All proceeds from the evening will benefit Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort, a local nonprofit providing care, support and respite for area caregiver’s of persons with Alzheimer’s disease. The organization, a United Way of the Lowcountry service agency, depends heavily on proceeds from their fundraisers, donations and grants to be able to offer their services to those who so desperately need them. All of their funds are raised and used locally. Offering three days a week of group respite through their Social Day program, in-home respite on an as-needed basis and weekly support groups, it is the goal of Alzheimer’s Family Services to reach out to and offer assistance to every Alzheimer’s caregiver in the community. The agency is committed to increasing their awareness in the community and making this the year that no one can come to them and say “we wish we had known you were here before now.” For more information about the dinner theater or the agency and the services they offer, visit the website at www.afsgb.org or call 843-521-9190.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
katherine and ashley hefner
home is where their heart is By Lanier Laney Ashley and Katherine met in fourth grade at Beaufort Academy. They started dating in high school, but went to different colleges and graduate schools for eight years. Katherine went to the University of North Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina to pursue a degree in dentistry, while Ashley went to SCAD for a Masters in Architecture. But through it all, they stayed together, got married in 2003 and moved back to their beloved Beaufort. They just celebrated their ninth anniversary but really, “too many to count years together,” said Katherine with a laugh. They have two very active boys, Vann, 5, and Ford, 3. All of their parents are Beaufortonians: Beth and Gene Grace, and Lana and Al Hefner. Says Katherine, aka Kat, “We are very involved with our extended families here since both sets of parents, and my sister, Chilton, and her husband Heath Simmons, live here. Ashley’s parents have taught both boys how to swim on their weekly swim visits, even adopting my sister’s little girl for these swim visits. She thinks Lana and Pop Al are the best too! (They are taking us four to the Bahamas this summer for the boys’ first big trip). Also Lana gets the credit for producing the ‘light bulb’ for Vann to learn to read. My dad takes them to the farm to ride the tractor with him and to crab from his dock. My mom spends every free moment with my boys as well as my sisters’ three children. She is the type of grandmother that stops everything to sit down on the floor and really play with them. My youngest, Ford, thinks she hung the moon. He asks everyday to see his ‘Nanu.’ ” I asked Kat what it’s like raising two boys with both parents pursuing professions. “With us each having a career, it does take some serious weekly planning on who is taking who where and when, but we are fortunate in that we can schedule our clients and patients in times that allow us to be there for the boys. Occasionally, we do call in a grandparent or two to help out though!” The family loves being on the water together. Says Ashley, “Our favorite family pastime is boating, and I want the boys to love fishing as much as I do. Since we were fortunate enough to grow up here, we want our boys to love and appreciate the islands and water as much as we do.” Ashley came from a family with a strong artistic background. His mother, Lana, is a well-known painter who owns Bay Street Gallery. His father Al was a graphic designer. Ashley happened to take an introduction to architecture course in college and liked it so much he transferred to SCAD where he completed the fiveyear undergraduate and masters degree program in architecture.

During that time he enjoyed renovating, from the foundation up, a historic arts-and-crafts cottage on North Street that he and Katherine had bought. It turned out so well that it was featured in Cottage Living magazine in 2007. Since then Ashley has won two Historic Beaufort Foundation Awards. One with Beek Webb for the renovation of the Bluntzer’s house in the Old Point neighborhood, and another for a house he restored at 1104 Greene Street. He just finished a spectacular renovation and addition to his brother and sister-in-law’s new house on Sunset Bluff, and Southern Living magazine is currently considering featuring it. Heath Simmons said, “We found Ashley great to work with from planning the ‘big picture’ vision of our house, to being on site every day from the time the contractor poured the foundation to completing the project.” Kat’s sister, Chilton, added, “Ashley really focused on our family’s lifestyle and
incorporated that into the design of our home. For example, he knows we love to entertain in a casual setting, and the modern, functional, gorgeous kitchen that he designed capitalizes on that.” Says Ashley about his work: “I design homes, additions, and do historic renovations. I create the design and do all the plans and construction documents for the builders to then use. My favorite part is the building phase and I like to be heavily involved in that process. There are so many decisions to make in building a house that it really helps the client to have help with each step.” Kat’s father, Gene Grace, has been in Beaufort for 39 years and is one of Beaufort’s most beloved dentists. Kat started working for him in high school and later in college. She found she really loved the work and liked working with her father, so she joined his practice nine years ago after graduating from dental school. “Everyone always asks me how it is working with my dad. We are very similar in personality so we have always gotten along great,” said Kat. “He is very progressive and stays on top of the latest trends in dentistry which is a blessing in this field. Also our staff is wonderful and dedicated to the team approach towards making our patients feel at ease in the office.” The office has been named “Best Dental Practice” from readers of both The Island News and The Beaufort Gazette many times. Gene and Kat make it a point to have a yearly oyster roast at Gene’s barn on St. Helena Island for the staff. Says Kat, “We have some die-hard oyster eaters working here (not naming any names — Terry, Sherry, Pegi and Becki!).”
The practice is dedicated to general aesthetic dentistry which is operative (fillings), crown and bridge, and minor endodontics (root canal therapy) and oral surgery. Kat treats adults as well as a lot of children. Says Kat,“My goal is to give my patients the best care that we can do. There are so many new things happening in dentistry these days that the options to restore or replace teeth are endless, or at least feel that way to a patient sometimes. I try to present these options clearly so that we can decide together on the best treatment to last them a long time and give them the function they need. My favorite part of dentistry is helping someone to feel confident in their smile again.” Kat has also been involved in the community. She said, “I was a founding member of the Junior Service League and have worked with all sorts of charities through them. Hope Haven is one that I stay connected to because their director, Shauw Chin Capps, is so passionate about her work and I admire that.” Both Ashley and Kat have loved their decision to move back to their hometown after college. The home, where both their hearts were. Kat said, “Beaufortonians are the most friendly, most welcoming people on earth! When we moved back in 2003, we were worried we weren’t going to have any friends. We only knew our parents’ friends, and none of our high school friends had come back yet. Upon arriving, we were absolutely amazed at the young people that had come in during our eight year absence. I was invited to a party where I met a group of new friends that are still my dear friends all these years later!”

Fishing tournament nets hefty $10K prize By Pamela Brownstein
Fishermen and their families and friends gathered Saturday evening, June 2, at The Shed in Port Royal after a long day at sea with food, music and an awards ceremony. Captain Bert Harvey and his crew on the boat “Juggernaut” caught the biggest kingfish at 20 pounds and won the $10,000 grand prize. There were 38 offshore vessels and 18 inshore boats that participated in the 57th Beaufort Water Festival’s annual fishing tournament. This year, the event was associated with the Southern Kingfish Association (SKA) and was the first Division 3 tournament of the season. The Water Festival’s Water and Air Coordinator Erin “Tank” Morris was busy tallying results from the tournament before the dinner. He said he thought the event was a big success and was proud to be partnering with SKA. The delicious smell of barbecue filled The Shed on Parris Avenue as “Cooking Just For Fun” prepared the food just outside. Families filed in and chatted and ate at long tables while local musician Eric Daubert played the guitar on stage. Water Festival Marketing Coordinator Stacey Canaday said there are exciting events slated for almost every weekend this summer before the big festival in July and encourages community members to be a part of it. Here are some more results from the fishing tournament: • Second place, offshore division: Team Old School, 16.2 pound king mackerel, winning $2,500. Captain Richard Jennings, with junior angler Grant Jennings making the big catch. Grant also won the junior angler division. • Cobia: First place: Nomad, captain Simons Hane.

history with holly By Anne Christensen Pollitzer
My father, Niels Christensen III, was 13 years old on the summer day in 1927 when the bridge to Lady’s Island was officially opened for the first time. His father, Niels Christensen Jr., was the senator from Beaufort County and the accomplishment of getting the bridge built was his final effort after 20 years in the S.C. senate. (He had also gotten the Whale Branch Bridge put in and a number of roads built, had the new highway system — mostly treacherous dirt roads — mapped and set up the licensing system for automobile drivers, among other things). The opening day was bright and sunny and a big celebration was planned. The Marine Corps band came over from Parris Island; a platform for speakers was set up. There were sandwiches, cookies, and large barrels of fresh lemonade with the lemons floating around on the top. Everyone in the town was there, and young Niels was allowed to ride with his father in the first car to cross the bridge. It was great fun and very exciting. As the day wore on, the goodies were eaten and the levels in the lemonade barrels went down. After all of the speech making and the first experiences of walking or riding across the long, new bridge, many people had gone home. The town was so small at that time that everyone knew each other and the boys were all gathering, eating, playing

together. As boys that age sometimes do, the younger crowd began to get bored and soon someone grabbed a lemon from a barrel and threw it at another boy. Soon a fusillade of soft, squeezed lemons was flying through the air behind the unwary backs of the grownups. Suddenly, a wagon appeared with buckets of fresh lemonade to replenish the barrels that were depleted. The boys watched in horror as the new batches were poured into the big barrels beside the sandwich tables. No one said a word as they recalled the dirty hands that had recently plunged in to get lemons to throw. The onlookers soon came back to the tables for more refreshments and the boys never mentioned their antics. The grownups never knew about this boyish prank and my father told me the story when he was 80 years old — it had stayed in his mind for that long. He could recall all the details and even the names of his friends, his partners in crime.

Clarece Walker to retire from United Way After 18 years of helping make Beaufort and Jasper counties a better place to live, Clarece Walker will retire in February as CEO of United Way of the Lowcountry, she announced today. A 35-year veteran of United Way, Walker shared her retirement plans with her Board of Directors and staff during their monthly meeting today in Bluffton. She will lead the 2012 fundraising efforts, assist the Board’s search committee and continue her chief executive officer duties until Feb. 27, 2013. The board plans to have a successor on board before that date to give the new CEO an opportunity to work alongside Walker for a period of time, said Sandra
Chavez, chair of the United Way of the Lowcountry. “For so many years, Clarece has given her heart and soul to the United Way and to the Lowcountry. If you needed help, you called Clarece. She took this organization from raising about $768,000 annually to more than $2.5 million, and she significantly expanded our scope of services. Her impact is felt by our partners and those they serve,” Chavez said. “She is an exceptional person and a visionary leader, and we will miss her energy and enthusiasm,” she said. “As the organization has grown and transitioned over the years under Clarece’s leadership,” said Chavez, “her vision and insight have always helped us find
innovative ways to meet the critical needs in our community. That continues even more today, with the recent expansion of community impact strategies aimed at addressing not only the traditional agency services, but as well, addressing the root causes of issues to improve education, family financial stability and health.” In sharing her retirement schedule with the board and staff, Walker said she felt the timing was right and would allow adequate time for a search, screening, interviewing and hiring of a successor. “It is time,” Walker said, “to enjoy family, friends, travel and just bask in the sun without a to-do list, a plan, or a meeting in sight! “I have enjoyed every minute of
working for the people of Beaufort and Jasper counties with United Way of the Lowcountry,” she said. “We’ve come a long way in my 18 years, but there are still tremendous challenges out there that affect so many people. I am confident this Board of Directors, our staff, the new CEO and this amazing community will find new ways to address those challenges.” The search committee, led by Chris McCorkendale, chair-elect, will draw upon resources provided by United Way Worldwide. He said the board will search both locally and nationally for the new CEO. For more information about United Way of the Lowcountry, visit uwlowcountry. org.

ARTworks is stepping up as World Oceans Day headquarters for a daylong festival of family eco-activities.

“ARTworks is committed to working with community organizations on a broad scale. Anytime we can partner to be able to share the message of the importance of art in the community, we’re going to take that opportunity,” said J.W. Rone, Executive Director of ARTworks. This free World Oceans Day celebration will be going on from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, Saturday, June 16, at ARTworks, Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street.

Whether you’re sweeping the beaches, meditating on ocean sounds or creating artwork with Terry Brennan, make it a point to celebrate World Oceans Day in your community.
lifestyle LITTLE BITS OF ROYAL CHATTER By Peggy Chandler
Summer is not officially here yet and already the grandparent/grandchildren visiting has commenced in Royal Pines. Maura and John Baglione of Jasper Lane were recently visited by their son John, his wife, Loryn, and their grandchildren: Lucas, age 9; Juliana, age 8; Christopher, age 4; and Andrew, age 20 months. They spent time at the beach, the downtown playground and the two oldest ones went kayaking on Russ Creek with Grandpa John and their dad. They also had the opportunity to Peggy meet their “cousins” Chandler Madeline age 6 and Jonathan age 3 from Georgia, for the first time. Maura and John’s grandchildren are from Columbia, Maryland. Maryanne and Richard Bender of James Byrne traveled to St. Augustine, Fla., for the Baptism of their granddaughter Lucia Ann. Marisa and Bob Sherard of Gator Lane will soon have a house full when their daughter Cristina, her husband Alex, along with four children — Nicholas, Sebastian, Mitchell and Charlotte — arrive for a visit from Ashburn, Va. In addition, two friends of the children Maddy and Caroline

lunch bunch
‘Simply seafood. Shrimply delicious’ is the motto at By Pamela Brownstein
GILLIGAN’S
With gorgeous marsh views and a superb selection of seafood, it’s no wonder Gilligan’s Seafood Restaurant has been a family favorite for 20 years. The Lunch Bunch was only a trio, but a fun group with me, Buck and Nikki, and we were excited because two of us had never eaten here before. The attentive, friendly server brought us first two baskets of warm hush puppies. As I was gabbing (and attending to my 5-month-old baby), I mindlessly popped one in my mouth because I was hungry. But then I stopped talking because it was so surprisingly good. The manager, Eric, said they are made with Capt. Bookatee’s Famous Hushpuppy Mix, and the secret ingredient is cream of corn, which gives it a hint of sweetness. We all loved these, but warning, once you eat one hush puppy, it’s hard to stop! The good news is you can purchase the famous mix at the restaurant or online. Next we were brought an amazing trio of appetizers: Fried mushrooms, Oysters Rockefeller, and seared ahi tuna with a teriyaki glaze and served with a cucumber wasabi dipping sauce. Nikki and I loved the tuna. It was hard to decide, but I ordered Gilligan’s Gumbo, a big bowl of corn and okra gumbo with jumbo shrimp and sausage served over a bed of red rice. It was excellent! Nikki tried the Grilled Island Fish lunch plate: A mild, white flaky fish seared with seasoned panko

and drizzled with zesty horseradish and served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Buck wanted to sample one of their most popular dishes, so the server recommended the Lowcountry Stir-Fry lunch specialty. The plate of grilled jumbo shrimp, sausage and shredded cabbage seasoned with mild Cajun spices is served over red rice. Buck ate all of it and knew why it was a favorite among customers. The restaurant supports the Sustainable Seafood Initiative, and their shrimp right now is from Dodson’s Seafood on St. Helena Island. It is also popular among Marines, and we saw several tables of graduates and their families happily eating. Gilligan’s is located at 2601 Boundary Street,

Fifty shades of chardonnay By Terry Sweeney
Since the mid-1970’s, chardonnay has been the wine that has dominated the female wine scene. There was something about that vanilla oak woody flavor that kept women coming back for more. Offer a gentleman a chardonnay and he’d look at you like you just asked him “would he like to try on a pair of pantyhose?” “Bourbon!” he’d bellow back in his deepest baritone or at the very least, “A Big Bold California cab!” It’s a fact. Chardonnay scares men. Just the word itself is inherently light and feminine. It’s as though you wouldn’t be surprised if someone called out “Chardonnay!” and a toy apricot poodle with a rhinestone collar came scampering in. But with women around the world, chardonnay still racks up some of the biggest wine sales. In Northern

chardonnay — a one night stand with a cheap bottle of this oaked-up old grape mess and you wouldn’t come back. Poor old mass-produced chardonnay had gotten tired and boring. But heck, times have changed and so has chardonnay. Chardonnay is sexy again. She’s lost the granny panties and the oak and bought herself a string bikini! OK, maybe she doesn’t come in 50 shades, more like five: pale yellowgreen, straw-yellow, yellow-gold, gold,
B u r g u n d y , chardonnay is what makes chablis and white burgundy. It is the key player in the world of Champagne (another female favorite) and there isn’t a Blanc de Blanc who’s primary white grapes are not chardonnay grapes. But over the years, chardonnay did get a little rough around the edges — too many oak chips floating around a tropical fruit latrine that even the flies wouldn’t touch. That was always the problem with
and old-gold. But I guarantee you will find a boundless array of fruit essences and aromas that will excite your palette anew. Thanks to new stainless steel fermentation tanks, and a new crop of innovative growers and winemakers, chardonnay is kicking some serious wine butt. So go on, go back to chardonnay and take a second look. It’s spanking new and hey, try it with a few ice cubes and even your husband might be seduced into taking a manly sip. Here are my three new favorites under $20: • Joel Gott 2009 Unoaked Chardonnay (Monterrey), $16. • Chamisal 2010 Stainless Unoaked Chardonnay (Central Coast), $18. • Kim Crawford Unoaked Chardonnay (Marlborough New Zealand), $13.99.

So is it hot out there yet? Has the humidity shown its damp, dripping face? Seems to me it came in awfully fast this year, and, I for one, am not ready or looking forward to it. But, one thing that can help is a fresh mind-set. And that means some nice new wines that are suited to heat, humidity, slow moving and summer foods. And guess what? Yep, for this week, it’s pink. As we’ve said before, pink wine is not always sweet wine. Until about 30 or 40 years ago, when Robert Mondavi came up with the idea for White Zinfandel, pink wines were dry wines — caught between reds and whites but always acceptable. Unlike now. As the story goes, when Mondavi was at the beginning of his career, he saw the value in the old Zinfandel vines growing all over California vineyards. It would be a shame to lose them to non-use, so he made a blush wine from them. Apparently, he was right in assuming Americans had palates that preferred sweeter style wines. Blush wines are sweeter because the fermentation is stopped before all the sugar is converted into alcohol. This leaves some sugar in the wines, sweetness, and then they are “blushed” with a bit of red grape juice to make them pink. While many of us no longer like these sweeter wines, we have to give them, and Mondavi, credit for bringing many of today’s wine consumers into wine drinking, period. The next step is we have to accept that pink is a color of wine, like red and white, and not a style. Maybe, if we can think about it as just a color, we can enjoy more pink wines more easily. It’s all in our heads, you know. So, trust our mouths. While the United States, and mostly California, has probably cornered the blush wine business, rosé wines are made all around the world. The good news is that, mostly, rosé wines are not expensive, don’t need aging or breathing or any other special care. A glass and something to chill them can be it. (Screw tops rule!) Our little list of summer wines has a couple of rosés on it. Yay! For today, we’re going Italian. Specifically, to northeastern Italy, near the city of Verona. Here, in the hills east of Lake Garda, they make a red wine called Bardolino. Bardolino is a town on the shore of the lake and its wines, the red wines at least, were granted DOC status in 1968. (DOC is the Italian version of the French appellation laws.) The three main grapes used for these wines are Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. After that, up to 15 percent of the final mix can be Rossignola, Barbera, Sangiovese and/or Garganega. (We have done a couple of these varieties in the last

food, rosé wines are $997 extremely versatile. Since they are between reds and whites in color, it’s an easy step to use them when reds are too whatever and whites aren’t enough. Just like red wines and white wines, rosé wines are made from assorted varieties so they have a range of weights and favors. A spicy gazpacho is much better with a fruity rose.

month or so. Hope you remember, but now you know why we never know all the grapes we’re drinking!) Just as an extra bit of wine info, the same three main grapes are also used to make Valpolicella wines. These are also red and often referred to as the bigger, heavier version of Bardolino. In truth, Bardolino uses less Corvina grape that gives its wines body and structure and more Rondinella that is more neutral in a wine. But, back to Bardolinos. Within the types of Bardolino, there are “superiore” wines that have one more percent alcohol in them and must be aged at least 12 months before their release, rosé wines that are known as “Bardolino Chiaretto,” lightly or “frizzante” Bardolinos and, the newest since the late 1980’s, “Bardolino Novello,” sort of like a new Beaujolais. We’re going to back up a bit and do the pink. It is made by Santi, a winery known to so many of us for its Pinot Grigio. The Santi winery was founded in 1843, by Carlo Santi, in the village of Illasi. The original
winery was situated in the heart of the most acclaimed wine growing zones in the Veneto region where Lake Garda is. The Santi business was based on Soave, Pinot Grigio, Valpolicella and Amarone (the big boy version of Valpolicella). These wines are mostly made from estate grown grapes augmented by some contracts and special relationships with friends and neighbors. Any of us who’ve had the Santi Pinot Grigio or Valpolicella know how good their wines are, year after year. Their rosé is just as good. These grapes come from vineyards within the boundaries of the Bardolino DOC, just east of Lake Garda. It is made from 65% Corvina, 30% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. Yes, that’s a higher percentage of Corvina than usual for Bardolino. The 2010 rosé is bright and crisp, with strawberry and red cherry flavors. And the acidity is mouth watering so its very much a food wine. Which leads us to our next tidbit this week. Rosé wines are very, very good food wines. It just takes a bit of drinking to really get used to using them. Darn! Drinking? Oh, goody, goody! Anyhow, for food, rosé wines are extremely versatile. First of all, since they are between reds and whites in color, it’s an easy step to use them when reds are too whatever and whites aren’t enough. That means anything from heavy seafood like swordfish, salmon and tuna, to poultry and light game birds to pink meats like pork and ham to room temperature or chilled red meats like cold filet. Just like red wines and white wines, rosé wines are made from assorted varieties so they have a range of weights and flavors. When you are fully indoctrinated into using rosé wines, these variations become fun to discover and perfect pairings. A spicy gazpacho is much better with a fruity rosé. A fruity salsa with a kick of jalapeño begs for a rosé. Grilled vegetables with olive oil and basil or other herbs taste better with a rosé. Sausages and salami become gourmet fare in the world of rosé. Asian steak salad is dinner fit for a king with rosé. Rice and grain dishes come alive with a rosé. Never have the right wine for barbecue sauce? Yes, you do! Rosé. Having some cheese and crackers with a friend? Think pink. Doing fruit instead of cheese. Think pink again. I guess there’s not too much rosé wine doesn’t go with. So, ready to try this week’s rosé? Hope so. The usual price on the Santi Infinito Rose is $9.99. A while ago we got a bit of a deal on it and it went down to $8.99. But now, for all the rosé we have to start drinking, it’s $6.97. Infinitely better. Infinitely good. Infinitely pink. Enjoy Infinito!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol
Kids and dogs: A common sense approach Often when a family is considering adding a dog to the household I am asked, “What kind of dog is good with children?” Unfortunately, no breed comes with a guarantee of kid safety. Often my response to that question is one of my own: “How are your kids around dogs?” Not addressing this openly could result in children getting bitten and dogs being blamed unjustly. A dog’s temperament is inherited, then modified by events in his life and proper training. Certain breeds and certain bloodlines within breeds are friendlier, more tolerant and more adaptable to training because they were bred to be that way. A responsible breeder puts emphasis on developing good temperament. However, if you are looking at a mixed breed rescue dog you have no idea of his heritage or his dark history. Granted, very few bites happen without provocation, but provocation may exist only in the dog’s mind. Dogs are not little people in hair suits. They don’t think the way humans do; most of their reactions are instinctive. A dog will react to a situation unless consistent training and socialization modify his instincts.
BowWOW!
Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

Here’s a common scenario: A young child sees a dog she’d like to pet. The dog may not want to be petted. Dogs instinctively set up an invisible “fight or flight” boundary around themselves. When someone unwelcome enters a dog’s boundary, he has two choices—he can run away or he can defend himself. His first reaction may be to simply walk away but he may also show displeasure by giving a warning, often a low growl. A growl is the dog’s way of saying, “Back off now!” If the little girl continues her mission to love on the dog, intruding well into his safety zone and he has issued a warning with no response from the girl, the dog (in his mind) has no other recourse. He bites. A child’s innocent action can be provocation to bite when seen from the
dog’s perspective. Running, screaming, darting quickly can also trigger an instinctive predator-prey reaction in some dogs. Children who roughhouse and wrestle with dogs unknowingly encourage them to use their teeth. Dogs equate this kind of activity with dog-ondog play where using teeth is allowed. Startling a sleeping dog or petting him when he’s eating can also provoke a snap. What can be done to prevent an “unfortunate incident”? First, it’s essential to understand that any dog will bite under the right circumstances. A dog is a dog and behavior can never be predicted with 100% accuracy no matter how friendly he is, how reliable he is or how rigidly he’s been trained. Obedience training and socialization are absolute musts for dogs that will share their lives
with children. Now, for the other side: just as children need to be taught how to be well behaved around other people, they also need instruction in how to be respectful and well behaved around animals. They need to learn which games are appropriate, how to touch a dog properly, how to interpret a dog’s body language and learn when a dog is not to be disturbed. I have frequently insinuated myself into situations in public when I see a squealing, running toddler bee-lining for an unknown dog, little (toothsome) fingers waving enticingly in the doggie’s face. If you understand how a dog thinks, that scenario could quite easily develop into a horrifying incident reported on the evening news. In short, adult supervision is essential. Small children should never be left alone with any dog, no matter how reliable he has been before. It’s up to adults to keep kids safe from dogs and to keep dogs safe from children. Kids and dogs are a wonderful American tradition but not one to be taken lightly. Next week: Specific kid behaviors that dogs may perceive as danger.
