SCHOOL BOARD
Project list for penny sales tax approved Last week, the Beaufort County Board of Education approved a detailed list of school facilities projects that would be funded if voters approve a one-penny education sales tax in November. Those projects include two new schools and additions to other buildings to accommodate rapidly growing student enrollments, as well as roof replacements and HVAC upgrades at numerous schools across the district. The board voted last month to place the Educational Capital Improvement Sales and Use Tax referendum on the November 2016 general election ballot for consideration by local voters. If approved, the one-penny sales tax would generate revenue to fund the district’s capital needs for the next 10 years and also share the responsibility for generating those funds among property owners, renters, businesses and tourists. The board’s vote detailing specific building and maintenance projects to be placed on the ballot was the next step in the referendum process. “Funds from the one-penny education sales tax referendum would be used exclusively for capital projects as specified on the ballot question; state law would prohibit the funds from being used for operations,” the board said in an official statement released after last month’s initial vote. “In addition, all Beaufort County property owners’ taxes on debt service, including 4 percent homeowners, 6 percent homeowners, businesses, vehicles, etc., would be reduced by one-third over the period of time the tax is in place.” See BOARD page A7
volume was up a healthy 11 percent from the previous year. The first quarter of 2016 seems to be following a pattern seen over the last two to three years. The Northern Beaufort County real estate market is in a “steady as she goes” mode, a mode we can all agree is a welcome sight and should be comfortable with. To give some perspective of today’s market: It was 2007 the last time 200 units were sold in the first quarter. Even though the market has picked up significantly over the last three years, there are still some excellent real estate deals to be had, across the price spectrum, but it should notREAL be assumed they will remain available forever.

Last year’s first quarter numbers were mostly ahead of 2014, so would real estate agents continue to see the trend in 2016? Overall it seems like the trend continues on the upward direction. There are some dips in actual unit sales in Mossy Oaks and Port Royal, but Beaufort was same as 2015. Burton and Lady’s Island surged ahead some 40 percent in sales over the year before. Total unit sales during the first quarter of 2016 reached 200, with the average price at $223,965 and the median selling price at $209,900, up 8.4 percent from 2015. Total sales volume was up a healthy 11 percent from the previous year. The first quarter of 2016 seems to be following a pattern seen over the last two to three years. The Northern Beaufort County

HEALTH
Hospital recognized for stroke patient care Beaufort Memorial Hospital has received the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s 2016 Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award for providing stroke patients with the most upto-date, evidence-based care. Recipients of the award must meet an aggressive goal of following treatment guidelines in certain key measures at least 85 percent of the time for 12 con-
secutive months or more and achieve a minimum 75 percent compliance with seven out of ten stroke quality measures during the 12-month period. The quality measures are designed to help hospital teams provide appropriate treatment based on the latest scientific evidence with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. “Being honored for excellent patient care is the best
recognition a hospital can receive,” said BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey. “By following demonstrated best practices, we’re able to improve outcomes, dramatically impacting the lives of our patients.” According to current guidelines, clot-busting medication should be started within 60 minutes of a patient’s arrival in the hospital to minimize brain damage and potential complications. BMH physicians have
consistently outperformed the “door-to-needle” goal, averaging 45 minutes in the first quarter of 2016. The quick response time also earned BMH a place in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Target: Stroke Honor Roll, a designation given to hospitals that deliver intravenous thrombolytic therapy to acute ischemic stroke patients in less than 60 minutes at least 50 percent of the time.
To improve patient care for stroke patients in the community, Beaufort Memorial has taken full advantage of the Medical University of South Carolina Health Telestroke, a Webbased program that provides Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit physicians with on-demand access with MUSC Health stroke experts for consultations. Last year, BMH doctors treated 184 patients suffering a stroke and another 45
having a “mini stroke” known as a transient ischemic attack. Telestroke consultations were initiated in 159 of those cases. “We have three great neurologists in Beaufort, but it’s difficult for them to be available immediately in our Emergency Department 24/7,” said BMH stroke coordinator Sheri O’Brien. “With the telemedicine cart, we can reach an MUSC Health neurologist within 10 minutes.”
When it comes to Zika, prevention is the best medicine With the warm weather and recent rains, Lowcountry residents are bracing for the arrival of summer’s biggest menace: the mosquito. The rampant spread of Zika has made a potential onslaught of the blood-sucking little buggers especially troubling this year. As of June 3, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) had reported one confirmed case of Zika, a virus spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected mosquito. The individual had contracted the virus while traveling overseas and was not contagious by the time they returned home, DHEC officials said. To date, all 618 reported cases of Zika in the United States have been travel-associated. No mosquitoes carrying the virus have been found anywhere in this country. But experts warn the start of mosquito season could likely lead to a local transmission. “It’s only a matter of time before a mosquito carrying the virus cross-

es the continent and infects someone here in the United States,” said Dr. Kent Stock, an infectious disease specialist Dr. Claude Tolbert. at Beaufort Memorial Hospital and Charleston’s Roper St. Francis Hospital. “It’s a significant threat.” The World Health Organization has estimated Zika virus will infect 3 to 4 million people in the Western hemisphere by year’s end. There is no vaccine for the disease. The best way to prevent it is by avoiding mosquito bites, because the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus— the mosquitoes responsible for the spread of Zika in South America and the Caribbean—both reside in this area of the country. “At this time, there is no immediate risk in the Lowcountry,” Stock said. “But we should all be taking steps to eradicate water sources where mosquitoes can breed.”
Symptoms of Zika—fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis or headache—are usually mild and last just a few days to a week. Most people infected with the virus never experience symptoms and may not even realize they have the disease. However, the biggest health concern is for pregnant women who can pass the virus to their fetus. Experts recently confirmed that Zika has been linked to a birth defect that causes severe brain damage. “Women who are considering conceiving should not travel to affected countries if it’s not necessary,” said Beaufort Memorial board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Claude Tolbert. “If they must go, they should protect themselves with mosquito repellant containing DEET, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants and try to stay in air conditioned areas.” He also suggested similar precautions be taken this summer in the Lowcountry. “Right now, the best approach we can take to prevent an outbreak
of Zika is to make it as inhospitable for mosquitoes as we can,” Tolbert said. “If we’re not proactive, it could become an epidemic.” Zika also can be transmitted sexually from an infected man to his partner. Until more is known, men who have traveled to an area with Zika should abstain from having sex with a pregnant woman or use a condom. “Women who want to conceive should wait at least eight weeks after traveling to a Zika affected country,” Tolbert said. “If your sexual partner has been exposed, wait at least six months to have unprotected sex. The virus has been found in semen up to 62 days after blood has tested negative for Zika.” Tolbert also advised pregnant women to talk to their healthcare provider if they or their male sex partner recently traveled to an area with Zika, even if they don’t feel sick. "We don't know at what point in pregnancy the baby is most at risk," he said, "so it's best not to take any chances."
TIPS TO KEEP MOSQUITOES AWAY: • Once a week, empty or cover any items in your yard that hold water, including tires, buckets, planters, toys, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers or trash containers, where mosquitoes can lay eggs. • Clean out rain gutters and avoid piling leaves for extended periods of time. • Use an outdoor flying insect spray in dark, humid areas like under patio furniture or the carport where mosquitoes rest. • Use an EPA-registered repellant that contains DEET. When used as directed, it has been proven to be effective and safe, even for pregnant and breast-feeding women. • Avoid going outside during daytime hours when the mosquitoes that spread Zika are most likely to bite. • Install or repair window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

South Carolina Humanities Festival to engage Beaufort County Inspire. Enrich. Engage. These are the stirring words summoning the promise of entertainment, learning and community interaction at the South Carolina Humanities Festival, due to unfold at many locations throughout Beaufort County this weekend from June 9-11. Arts, cultural and educational organizations from Beaufort to Bluffton and Hilton Head will participate, presenting a wide variety of special events including lectures, films, tours, art shows, exhibits, performances and much more, around the theme of community collaboration, to demonstrate a sense of place. Beaufort residents and visitors will sample and savor the area’s rich and diverse art, history and culture from numerous interesting perspectives. The festival kicks off at the USCB Center for the Arts on Thursday, June 9 with a preview of event activities, a “meet and greet” reception with refresh-
Board
ments and a concert. The first Humanities Festival was held in 1993 in Beaufort to honor the Humanities Council’s 20th anniversary, and was originated under the leadership of Harriet Keyserling and Betty Ann Mead. The event has since been held in 18 different South Carolina cities. Each festival celebrates the local history and culture of the host community, enabling partnerships between cultural organization and community groups. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, chairman of the Humanities Festival Committee, is working with community leaders to insure that the event will continue the great tradition of success initiated by his mother and Mead. “The event is open to residents and visitors supporting the SC Humanities from across the state and region to join us in discovering and exploring Beaufort County’s unique
history and culture,” Keyserling said. “Using the bridge as part of the logo demonstrates that we want residents of Beaufort to cross the river to explore Hilton Head Island and Bluffton and we want residents of Bluffton and Hilton Head to come out and learn more about us,” Keyserling said. “This is perhaps the first and largest collaboration of organizations working together to share our sense of place. We have a story to share with our visitors and our residents,” he said. Each of the venues that will open their doors to showcase Beaufort County and portray the area’s heritage are representations of the best cultural organizations in the county and will portray the area’s heritage in a positive light. “We are extending the invitation to everyone to join in discovering and exploring Beaufort’s unique history and culture,” Key-
serling said. Participating organizations include Beaufort Arts Council, Beaufort County Historical Society, Beaufort County Library, Beaufort Film Society, Beaufort H i s t o ry Museum, Beaufort Mass Choir, Coastal Discovery Museum, Friends of Fort Fremont, Friends of Hunting Island State Park, Gullah Geechee Consortium, Heritage Library, Historic Beaufort Foundation, Historic Port Royal Foundation, Mitchelville Preservation Project, Parris Island Historical and Museum Society, Penn Center, Port Royal Sound Foundation, Maritime Center, Santa Elena History Center and the USCB Center for the Arts.

WINE
Icons and Knockoffs By Celia Strong
In the wine business, like so many others, there are the originals, and then there are the copies. For centuries, wine producers have made their best wines with their best grapes. These wines maintain their reputations and profitability. Decisions about what to do with the other grapes are not always easy to track, partly because there are several ways winemakers can choose to use those grapes. Plus, their decisions are not necessarily the same every year. Sometimes, they use their own leftovers to make "second label" wines. And sometimes they sell the leftovers and don't reveal to which winery. Either way, the use of these leftover, lesser grapes can still produce really good wines. Our job is to find and enjoy some of these wines. Our winery for this week is Louis Martini, and the version of the Napa Cabernet that they make for restaurants. The history of the Louis Martini winery is one of the longest in California since the end of Prohibition. Louis Martini came to the United States from Italy in 1900, when he was 13 years old. In 1906, Louis and his father made their first wine at home, then he was sent him back to Italy to study winemaking at the University of Alba in Piedmont. Five years later, Louis returned to California and made his first Martini wine in Pleasanton, about 40 miles inland from San Francisco. In 1922, L M Martini Grape Products Company was established, which made medicinal and sacramental wines since it was during Prohibition. In 1933, Louis built a winery in Napa Valley that was one of the five original Napa wineries founded after Prohibition ended. Since then, Louis Martini and his descendants have been pioneers in producing great wines. Temperature controlled fermentation tanks, establishing the Napa Valley Vintners Association, wind machines to keep frost off the grapes, use of hand-selected quality barrels, and buying some of the best grape-growing land in both Napa and Sonoma counties — these are just some of the winery’s accomplishments. The third generation is working now in partnership with the Gallo company.

JUNE 9 - 15, 2016
Louis Martini Winery is known for its Napa Valley Cabernet, which is big and bold in its colors, aromas, flavors and textures. It is a deep, dark burgundy color with aromas of dark red and black fruits — black Celia Strong cherries, black currants, blackberries, dark plums — that pop out of the glass. Along with smoky cedar and herbs, the juicy, silky tannins roll around with the flavors to create a weighty texture that spreads all over your mouth and has an exceptionally long finish. Small amounts of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah add layers of complexity, as does aging in French, American and Hungarian wood. It's easy to understand why many consider this wine an icon in the world of Napa Valley Cabernets. Usually, this wine costs about $35 to $45 dollars. But it can be found at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for $31.97. In this case, the “knockoff ” to this iconic wine is a version of their Napa Cabernet that Louis Martini makes for restaurants. By the time a wine like the Napa Cabernet gets priced on a wine list, many will be excluded from enjoying it too often. A less expensive version is a great way to attract new drinkers and to let fans drink better wines for a lower cost. For this wine, Louis Martini California Cabernet, because the appellation "California" allows it, grapes from Napa and Sonoma counties can be used. This lets the winemaker use better grapes, although probably not the best of the best from each source, than if he had to buy them from other growers. That means we get Martini grapes in a wine made by the Martini winemaker. This California Louis Martini Cabernet is a true surprise. It is deep and dense, dark-ruby colored, with intense dark fruit aromas and flavors including smoky vanilla notes, a lingering finish, juicy textures. It's like a glass of the Napa Cabernet just diluted a tiny bit. But this wine is available for only $14.97. That's the whole point of knockoffs — finding the really good ones and making them yours. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines.

Several years ago, I walked into my kitchen after a long day at work only to find an 18-inch owl perched on the kitchen counter. Fortunately, it was not real. The owl sitting there was a solar-powered replica made to scare away birds. My spouse sat there with a flashlight shining on the owl’s head as I watched it spin around. “Are you kidding me?” I asked amazed. I could not believe that he had been hoodwinked into buying something this bizarre. “You just wait,” he assured me. “This is going to work!” He was tired of the mess the birds were making on our dock and wanted to do something different. This was different. Well, as it turned out, the owl was no ordinary owl. It was made out of recycled materials and had been sculpted and hand painted to look like a Great Horned Owl — a fearsome looking creature. And there, on the top of its head, was a small solar panel set to rotate the
Olga the Owl
head around every two minutes. And if for some reason there was no sunlight, a gentle breeze could still rotate the owl’s head. My husband ignored my pessimistic comments and prepared the owl for our dock. First, he attached the owl to a piece of plywood. Then, he tied the board to a piling on our dock. The next
day when I got home, he beckoned me down to the water’s edge. We sat there on our chairs watching as the owl’s head spun around every few minutes. And, lo and behold, there across the creek, sitting in the trees, were the birds watching the owl; as if waiting for it to leave. But, she stayed on that dock until we moved here two years ago. It has been more than five years since Olga the Owl (my name for her) has been with us. The dock stayed clean all those years at our home in Maryland and we now have her perched on our back porch in the Lowcountry. When company comes to visit, they always take a second look at her and I tell the story about how she came to us, and how I had to eat my disbelieving words spoken at our first encounter. Olga is still spinning her head and doing her job.

THE SHORT GAME By Reed Weatherford
It just so happens that my young daughter has a newfound, yet familiar, passion for watching golf on television. We snuggled up last Sunday the watch The Memorial Tournament held in Columbus, Ohio. Just recently she has shown a curious interest in both the players and the game, enthusiastically calling out “Rory McIlroy,” “Jason Day” and her favorite. “Jordan Spieth.” She advises them not to hit it in the water or the fish will get their ball while others are gently instructed to avoid the bunkers because the crabs will eat their toes. As a father, it’s awesome to see her take such notice and concern over something she is just beginning to learn. As Sunday’s final round unfolded, I was eager to watch how William McGirt would handle himself with the a bunched leaderboard. He has been close before but never able to punch his ticket. As McGirt plotted his way around, I could not help but notice how well he was putting. It was clear that he did not have his best from tee to green. For any golfer, his discomfort with his swing was evident but he was making up for his misses with putting that was really fun to watch. I thought it was very interesting that after McGirt won, Jack Nicklaus applauded him
for the way he won — He didn’t get in his own way. He stayed steady and let everyone else implode in front of him. That's such an important part to the game of golf. About 95 percent of the time golfers struggle because they get in their own way. They over-think, over-analyze, and before they know it they know it, their round of golf is over. The guys on the PGA tour have mastered the art of staying out of their own way and getting the ball in the hole. Even when they aren't playing at full capacity, they can still score well because their putting is extraordinary. So as I tell everyone I teach, it is imperative to stay out of your own way. The challenge and victory is found in the short game. Seventy percent of the shots hit in one round of golf are within 75 yards of the flag. That's where we all need to practice, focus and become more comfortable. And from the mouth of a pint-sized future putter: Stay out of the water and bunkers so that your toes and your golf balls will survive. Play well and play often.

Celebrating
Beaufort Memorial
Keyserling Cancer Center Celebrates 10 Years of
KEYSERLING CANCER CENTER 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 it’s 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.
