WHAT’S INSIDE?

The 45th Annual Lafayette Soiree will be held in the spectacular riverside garden of Scott Sonoc and Marsha Williams gracious home, The George Moss Stoney House (circa 1823) at 500 Port Republic St. which is located on The Old Point in downtown Beaufort. They have also donated a fireworks display to mark the 190th anniversary of Lafayette’s visit to Beaufort in 1825 as a bonus to this wonderful evening.

Sip champagne in the beautiful French garden, eat delicious hors d’ oeuvres from seven of our area’s best restaurants, and bid on wonderful Silent Auction items. Then dance under a full moon with Atlanta’s best dance band, The CEO Band, back again by popular demand from last year!

Money raised from this event will go to not only save endangered historic buildings in Beaufort, but also help rehabilitate the historic Verdier House Museum, on whose porch, the Major General Marquis de Lafayette spoke during his visit in 1825.

This year’s Chairs are the dynamic Melanie McCaffree and her husband, Brian. Joining them are Co-Chairs Laura Dukes, Lanier Laney, Terry Sweeney, and Paula Verity rounding out the event team. Irvine Gaskin of Spring Island is coordinating SOIREE continued on page 2

Volunteers clean up Port Royal On March 8th, The Outside Foundation hosted a Clean Up of the Broad Creek. Seventy-four volunteers participated in the event and collected over 400 pounds of trash, 98 percent of which was recycled. Most volunteers went out in kayaks, others chose to pick up trash by land or by power boat.

The event was made possible by a grant from Beaufort County Public Works’ “Keep America Beautiful” initiative.

Atlantic Community Bank sponsored the event by providing clean up supplies and door prizes for volunteers. Publix Grocery Store provided snacks for volunteers. Local watersports company Outside Hilton Head provided free kayak rentals for volunteers.

Among the volunteers were 9 Marines, several members of the Whole Foods Market, Atlantic Community Bank and Outside Hilton Head teams, as well as volunteers from local nonprofit Watercookies. The trash pulled out of the Broad Creek included a downed telephone pole, abandoned dingy, a pogo stick, assorted plastic tubing, part of a wheelbarrow and lots of fishing line.

The clean-up was the first of 2 planned for 2015 by The Outside Foundation.

In 2014 the events collected over 500 pounds of trash and engaged over 200 volunteers.

“Thanks to all who volunteered at the Broad Creek clean-up. Each person has

contributed to improving the health of our Creek. We look forward to hauling more trash out of the Creek this Fall “ said Jean Fruh, The Outside Foundation Executive Director.

The Outside Foundation is a local non-profit with a mission to get kids outside and to protect and preserve our local environment. The Foundation is dedicated to creating awareness, expanding knowledge, and developing a responsible understanding of nature and the environment. Ongoing projects of the Foundation include trash cleanups by kayak, donation programs and the Kids in Kayaks program, which aims to get every 7th grader in Beaufort County out kayaking.

Beaufort County leases historic courthouse Beaufort County Council voted unanimously to lease its historic federal courthouse building to the Santa Elena Foundation, whose mission is the discovery, preservation, and promotion of Santa Elena, the 16th century settlement established on present-day Parris Island.Located on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort, the historic building will serve as the setting for a unique cultural interpretive center destined to become an important attraction for local, national, and international visitors.

In addition, the building will include a planned archeological laboratory and serve as the first headquarters for the foundation.

“The strategic purpose of the Santa Elena Foundation is to accurately position Santa Elena in the historical record by promoting the role of the early Port Royal Sound colonial communities in the settling of America,” said Dr. Andy Beall, Santa Elena Foundation Executive Director. “We are most grateful to Beaufort County Council for allowing us the use of this historical building and providing the foundation with an excellent location to share with the public this important story.”Foundation and County leaders hope that some of the interest, energy, and capital directed to the early settlements of Jamestown, Virginia and Saint Augustine, Florida will now be shared with Beaufort County.

“We are very pleased to lease the federal courthouse to the Santa Elena Foundation,” said Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville.

“The proposed cultural interpretive center will serve as a major attraction for Beaufort County and as an introduction to this very important, little known American story.”

The foundation plans to move into the building July 1, 2015. An initial opening of the cultural interpretative center is planned for early 2016, followed by a grand opening later that year, 450 years after the founding of Santa Elena. For more information about the Santa Elena Foundation, visit www.santa-elena.org.

Prescribing change The Beaufort Listening Network is a volunteer group of civic leaders that keeps Coastal Community Foundation informed about philanthropy, community needs and news in the Beaufort area.

Volunteers come from diverse professional backgrounds and varied personal interests, but they all share a strong commitment to philanthropy. Members of the Beaufort Listening Network are experts in local issues. Many serve as board members for local nonprofits and live or work in the Foundation’s Southern Lowcountry service region – Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. The Beaufort Listening Network had its first meeting in September 2013 and has met every six to eight weeks since. During its

most recent meeting on February 26th, members focused on Lowcountry Giving Day – Coastal Community Foundation’s upcoming 24-hour Hamilton online fundraiser Boykin happening on May 5th. Raising over $4 million in 2014, Lowcountry Giving Day embraces the growing trend of online giving and helps nonprofits from Beaufort to Georgetown build their capacity in online communications and fundraising.

Nineteen nonprofits in Beaufort and the surrounding areas are participating in

Lowcountry Giving Day this year. Members of the Beaufort Listening Network have committed to raise support for these nonprofits by encouraging community members to give to their favorite causes and organizations in the Southern Lowcountry on May 5th. To learn more about Lowcountry Giving Day and how you can help, please visitwww.lowcountrygivingday.org.

Each week, Coastal Community Foundation highlights organizations, donors and other charitable news in The Philanthropy Corner. If you’re interested in learning more aboutphilanthropy in the Lowcountry, reach out to our regional Stewardship Officer, Gloria Duryea, at Gloria@CoastalCommunityFoundation.org or (843) 379-3400.

Soiree

celebrates its 50th anniversary this year of supporting the preservation, protection and presentation of sites and artifacts of historic, architectural and cultural interest throughout Beaufort County. In other words, during the past 50 years HBF has been instrumental in not only restoring, hands-on and financially, scores of historic buildings, but in the late 1960s and early 1970s they were behind the National Park Service designation of 300 acres of

Beaufort’s downtown and 500 sites as a National Historic Landmark District.

Thus, today Beaufort retains three centuries of historic architecture.

Please join the fun by ordering your tax deductible tickets today of $125 (group tickets with sponsorship opportunities also available) at www. historicbeaufort.org or call HBF at 843.379.3331. Ticket sales are limited to just 350 attendees this year so please reserve yours early as they will sell out.

Politics, religion, & college football?

By Chris Suddeth

Can we consider college football the third rail of polite conversation?

The short answer is “yes”, but let’s takes a closer look.

People who know me are aware that I find the subjects of politics and religion extremely personal and extremely subjective and therefore extremely distasteful. It stresses me spending the precious NOW locked in pointless debate which is why I avoid such conversations and don’t even like to hear others going at it.

I would like to think that even the most zealous among us can agree that too many wars, both large scale and personal, have been fought over all that is holy for as long as humans dare to recall. Creedence Clearwater Revival summed up politics with their hit, Fortunate Son. The line, “And when the band plays ‘Hail to the Chief,’ Ooo, they point the cannon at you, Lord,” stands out.

I submit to you that college football, and most any other sport in general, can be mentioned in the same breath. Now, don’t think I am proposing anything as radical as having a Lifetime movie marathon on a Saturday afternoon in late October, so bear with me. I only began to

realize the stressor that sports can be after a friend conducted a session on me in which college football became the focus.

Keep in mind I’ve Chris never been a rabid, Suddeth foaming-at-themouth fan either.

Spirituality demands following feelings, especially the yucky ones, to their core, so I had to look within.

I am comfortable being painted as delusional as Clemson fans thinking that Darth Visor, a.k.a. one of the most successful coaches in SEC conference history, is done after losing only once out of the last six years. I know what I know.

See, besides doing what I do, I have a unique point of view, because I call both Clemson and Carolina my home. Never thought you’d hear a native South Carolinian utter such heresy? On the few occasions growing up that we missed a Clemson home game, I could hear Tiger Rag whispering over the cow patties in the distance. In truth, Tiger Rag still gives me chills. When it was time to matriculate, the University of South Carolina became the

home that would see many rites of passage of this young man.

Columbia still has the feel of going home. All this being said, I literally felt the tear that sports can render upon one.

Could this article be as pointless as Manziel and Clowney in the NFL? I won’t take the bait to that debate, but some won’t be prepared to examine dogma from their earliest memories.

I’ll grant you that America doesn’t typically have riots the way South America and Europe roll, but are you going to tell me you have never seen grown adults treating others, even kids, in ways they would never dream of in everyday life simply for wearing the wrong colors at a game? Worse is the stress that sports cause in general.

I know people who won’t come out of their house after a loss. And don’t dare call them unless you’re ready to rumble. I mean, really?! Granted,

some of the rude behavior is a handfull of people that can’t handle their liquor, but just check in on what you feel the next time your team wins or loses.

In case you have further doubts, tune into the Paul Finebaum show to hear fanatics raving about SEC vs. Big 10 like they are talking about Roe vs. Wade. There honestly isn’t any right or wrong, but there can be respect and learning from a diverse point of view. Take your meditation medicine and make sure to place sports in a healthy perspective in your life. College football will always hold a special place in my heart, but if I dare to brave the crowds, it’ll be at my personal Super bowl in Augusta where the spirit of Bobby Jones demands decorum from the patrons.

Even the leaders kneel at the altar of Amen Corner on Sunday’s dramafilled back nine.

Ignore generIc FInancIal advIce (except thIs artIcle) It is dangerous to mix investing with entertainment. The classic example is thinking that a TV or radio personality can provide general financial information and you act on it without first taking the time to figure out if it applies to your particular situation.

The financial press, personal finance bloggers and best-selling authors are all sources of information. But don’t confuse information with the real work of figuring out how it applies to your very unique situation. As good as many of them are at providing a filter

Owen K Hand CFP®

for information, and even providing general rules of thumb, you are the only one who can figure out how it applies to your life.

The reason is simple: planning for your financial future is personal. It has to be. A good plan will be unique to your situation, and what is right for your situation may be a disaster for your neighbor. So read as much as you want, but then make sure you spend the time to figure out how it applies to you before you make important decisions about your life savings.

That is where we can help. Lets meet so you can get a second opinion.

There is absolutely no motion you can make with your wrist with a manual toothbrush that is going to be better than the circular motion of a rotary toothbrush.

Secondly, the small head of the rotary brush gets into tighter places than the larger head of the manual brush.

Thirdly, the average person brushes for 37 seconds. The rotary brush has a timer and if one brushes the lower teeth for a minute and the uppers for a minute, I will assure you it will be much more thorough.

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

I

t’s not many 11-year olds who spend their summer raising money for a favorite charity, but that’s exactly what Beaufort native and Wofford College sophomore Laura Roddey did when she was 11. In the summer of 2006, Laura began selling t-shirts to support Little Red Dog Foundation, which her neighbor, Anne Guthrie, started in 2005. Handling promotion, sales, collections and delivery herself, Laura raised about $700 for Little Red Dog, which provides specially equipped three-wheeled cycles for people who are mobility challenged.

Fast forward to Christmas 2011.

Laura and her brother Thomas, 17, who’s now a junior at Beaufort Academy, made a meat rub to give to family and friends as holiday gifts. The rub proved very popular and Laura and Thomas hatched a plan to sell the rub through a new company – Sea Island Seasonings – and donate 100 percent of net profits to charity. With help from parents Tim and Emma, Sea Island Seasonings was soon up and running.

“With Sea Island Seasonings, Thomas and I have provided financial assistance for some of our favorite charities that have helped so many people near and far,” Laura says. “We’ve come to realize that nothing makes our efforts more worthwhile than seeing the smiles of people we get to help.

Whether we’re under the same roof or 200 miles away, Thomas and I stick together to help change the lives of those we’ve never met.”

Laura is chief executive officer of Sea Island Seasonings and Thomas is production manager. While she’s at college, Laura handles web design and public relations while Thomas is in charge of production. Both work on

Heroes Campaign.

“Sea Island Seasonings has given me a wonderful opportunity to meet some incredible people from all around this country and Canada,” says Laura. “The reactions of pleased costumers are incredible and surprising.”

Sea Island Seasonings was recently chosen as one of ten student-run companies to go to the finals of Wolford College’s Impact & Launch Competition. Laura and the other finalists will compete in a head-to-head competition at the end of March for a share of $10,000 in cash and $10,000 worth of professional services.

Asked about the future, the not-yet20-year old says, “As far as what the future holds, that is a loaded question!

I plan on graduating from Wofford College in 2017, and from there I just can’t tell you where I will be. I love Sea Island Seasonings and hope that it will continue to grow. But five years ago I would not have been able to tell you I would be a sophomore in college competing for $10,000 in cash and prizes for a business that, five years ago, didn’t even exist!

So for now I’m enjoying the ride.”

I experienced excruciating headaches, ear congestion, ringing in the ears, a tight jaw, and neck issues for years. After becoming a patient at Durham Dental and talking extensively with Dr. Stephen

Durham and his amazing staff I made one of the best decisions of my life to proceed with TMJ treatment. I was honestly skeptical that it would help in so many areas of my life. I did not understand how everything was related to my bite. Well, I am here to say, I am a believer now!

Thank you, Durham Dental!

school news

Beaufort High takes top two spots in academic competition Two teams from Beaufort High School took the top two positions in Beaufort County’s fourth annual Academic WorldQuest Competition.

Beaufort High’s Green Team finished No. 1, while the school’s White Team finished second. A team from Hilton Head Island High finished third.

First-place Beaufort High Green Team members were Noah Kimbrell, Max Crisologo, Alex Mazzeo and John Manos. Second-place White Team members were Reagan Kilpatrick, Hays McDaniel, Isaac Norton and Rasikh Hamid. Teacher Debi Kidd coached both teams.

The World Affairs Council of Hilton

Head hosted the annual Academic WorldQuest Competition in partnership with the Beaufort County School District. During Saturday’s competition at Hilton Head Island High, eight high school teams faced a screen where multiple-choice questions were projected. Using electronic “clickers,” they had 30 seconds to answer each question posed. Audience members sat behind the competing teams and were able to see the questions as they were projected on the screen.

This year’s categories for questions focused on key national security issues as determined by the World Affairs Council leaders across the country. Those

issues included current events; Russia/ Eurasia; Asia and the New Global Economy; Africa Rising; the Future of Energy; Great Decisions; Youth, Jobs and Social Unrest; Food and Water, Human Trafficking; and Millennium Development Goals: 2015 and Beyond.

This year’s winning team from Beaufort County will travel to Washington for the national competition, said Carlton Dallas, a Hilton Head businessman who serves as the project director for WorldQuest in Beaufort County.

“In a world that’s increasingly connected – and interconnected – young people who understand how that world works will be more successful in it,”

Dallas said. “Tomorrow’s leaders must be knowledgeable about other countries and cultures.”

The second-place Beaufort High Green Team members each received a $100 Best Buy gift certificate, and the third-place Hilton Head Island High team members each received a $50 gift certificate.

The competition’s moderator was James Edward Alexander, a former broadcaster and attorney and a WACHHI member.

Academic WorldQuest is the flagship educational program of the national network of World Affairs Councils and is held annually in more than 40 U.S. cities.

QUILTERS GET COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Lady’s Island Middle School’s Sewing & Quilting Club has been adopted by the Sea Island Quilters, a local quilting guild. The quilting guild’s donations have included fabric, notions and sewing machines. In addition guild members have been donating their own time working with the students and sharing their own knowledge and expertise in the area of quilting and sewing.

Thanks to the guild’s generosity, students are learning how to sew and have been working on projects for themselves and others. Some completed projects include pillows, pin cushions, and clutch bags. Currently students are making lap quilts for themselves and quilts for children which will be donated to a local community organization. The generosity of Sea Island Quilters is providing LIMS students with the opportunity to learn new skills, and pay it forward by donating quilts as a community service project.

Beaufort High School 2015 Engineering State Champions BHS competed in the Project Lead The Way South Carolina State Engineering Championship. The competition was held at the University of South Carolina Engineering Center.

The BHS Principles of Engineering team won Best Presentation. Team members include Chris Richardson, Deven Singleton, and Casey Allen.

Under time and cost constraints, the team designed, built, and tested a device to contain a product load released with a remote dump feature on the end of a support arm; all cantilevered off the edge

of a table top.

The Introduction to Engineering Design Team took home the 2015 championship trophy as they captured first place by narrowly beating out a strong Dutch Fork team. Team members include Anna Kate D’Angelo, Jackie Kim, and Lucas Cato.

The team reverse engineered a series of toys for a company whose engineering records had been destroyed by fire.

BHS has participated in the state competition the last five years, winning two State Championships and one State Runners-up titles.

arts&entertainment BAA presents featured artist Linda Sheppard Local artist, Linda Sheppard, will be the featured artist exhibiting at the Beaufort Art Association Gallery during April and May. The exhibit, entitled “Painting at Home and Abroad”, will include pastels, oils and watercolors of en plein air work in France, Switzerland, England, Turkey, Italy, and Greece as well as figurative work of locals and low country landscapes and seascapes. Linda was featured in the March issue of The Artists Magazine with her painting, “Memories at 98.” She was selected as one of 10 finalists in the Over 60 Competition out of 2800 entries. Although they don’t award a first prize, her painting, with accompanying story, was featured as the centerfold. “Memories at 98” will be hanging in her upcoming exhibition at the BAA Gallery. In addition, the American Artists Professional League in New York City recently upgraded her status to Fellow Magna Cum Laude.

Linda began painting over 50 years ago. She has developed an ability to not only paint in oils, pastels and watercolors, but she uses composition, colors, and shapes to tell stories to the viewers. “My goal”, she says,

“is to identify the inner spiritual beauty of the person or landscape, or event and to express that in such a way that the viewers will connect. It may remind the viewers of a precious forgotten experience or captures the strength or characteristics of the person that will speak to future generations.”

Currently, Linda offers private lessons to adults and high school students. She reviews the student’s prior work before commitment and discusses what particular subjects or difficulties the student wants to concentrate on: building a solid composition, learning to identify color and value relationships, learning to draw or paint in a more painterly style or some weakness the student struggles with. They paint alongside Linda in her home studio in an atelier setting. Group workshops in pastel, watercolor, or oil are also offered as well.

Linda Sheppard’s Featured Artist Exhibit at the Beaufort Art Association Gallery will open March 30 and run through May 30. An artist’s reception will be Friday, April 10, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. where the works of over 70 other member artists will be on

Artist Linda Sheppard is seen with her painting.

exhibit. The public is invited to attend.

The Beaufort Art Association Gallery is located at 913 Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. Hours are Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 12:30 to 4 p.m. For more information visit www. beaufortartassociation.com.

THE MET OPERA LIVE IN HD AT USCB CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Rossini’s “La Donna del Lago” opera

By Alan Schuster

If one should never judge a book by its cover, the same analogy can often be made about world premieres of operas.

One of the best examples was Rossini’s “La Donna del Lago”, based on Sir Walter Scott’s narrative poem, which debuted in Naples in 1819. In Stendahl’s masterful biography, “Life of Rossini”, here’s how he described opening night. “There was nothing to restrain the exuberance of 1500 youngbloods and officers whose privilege

it was to occupy the front rows when royalty was not present, and who earlier had arrived a little tipsy from celebrating a gala holiday. At the first note which sounded on the trumpets, they began stomping their feet in rhythm to the sound of galloping horses. Soon it was taken up by the rest of the audience until finally the composer collapsed, then left the theatre.

Later that night, he took a coach to Milan and it was only two weeks later that he learned that the following performance

was a resounding success, enjoyed by the fair-minded and enlightened people of Naples who expressed their sober appreciation by applauding the composer with violent enthusiasm.”

Opera historian Charles Osborne described Rossini’s work as being “a generously tuneful, delicately orchestrated opera with innocent romantic charm.”

And from a singer’s viewpoint, the starring ‘lady’ herself, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, mentioned in a recent

interview that the score has “some of the most Olympic-type singing you will ever hear.”

April 24: JeeYoon Choi, Charleston, South Carolina The Taylor & Boody organ at St. Helena’s is modern (installed in the church in 1985), yet reminiscent of the “golden age” of organ building and organ music in Europe between 1600 and 1750. The twomanual organ has 19 stops and more than

1,150 pipes housed in a beautifully crafted oak case.

arts & entertainment ARTIST OF THE MONTH AT THIBAULT GALLERY ON BAY STREET

Greg Rawls under glass Glass is an eternal medium that has been worked, in one form or another, for several thousand years.

Fused glass art was found in ancient Egyptian excavations and was a revered art form. Glass has always fascinated Greg. His interest in glass started about 30 years ago when he learned how to make stained glass windows. It was a work transfer to Frederick, Maryland in 1998 that led Greg to a stained glass supply shop to buy glass to make windows for the new house. The shop offered a class in glass fusing. Greg said “At last!

Something I can use my glass scraps for!” He later learned that you had to use special fusing glass, but a new world opened up.

Fused, or kiln-formed glass is a very difficult art medium due to issues of glass compatibility and the inherent fragility of glass. Greg

Greg Rawls

immediately started making fused glass bowls and panels. A year later another work transfer took him to Charleston and Greg set up a studio making glass part-time. Soon he was showing in galleries in the Charleston area. In 2004, he won second place in the Piccolo Spoleto Juried Art Exhibition. The next year he won first

place. In 2006, a glass panel he made was selected for the Piccolo Spoleto Petite Pavilion poster. In 2008, a piece of his glass titled “Linear Regression” was selected to be shown at the South Carolina Museum 20th Anniversary Juried Art Exhibition.

Greg retired in 2012 and moved to Beaufort for what he calls his “reboot,” which was moving from a long career in industrial health and safety to being a full time glass artist. Since then, he has shown twice at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan – placing in the Top 100 both times. He’s had solo shows at ARTworks in Beaufort and the Edward Dare Gallery on Broad Street in Charleston.

The achievement he is most proud of is having a glass panel he made selected for the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run poster. It was a silhouette of the bridge against a glorious

Lowcountry sunrise – all done in glass. “ This was the first time they have ever selected anything other than a painting or drawing for the poster. The Bridge Run is in the top ten 10K races in the world with over 36,000 runners. That’s a lot of tee shirts and posters!”

Greg says “I am fascinated by the way light plays off glass, either transmitted or reflected, giving the work new meaning with changing light and viewing angle. I want my work to be simple and expressive, yet convey a sense of color and light in harmony. I have always been inspired by the colors of the Lowcountry.

The marsh, ocean and incredible sunsets form my palette.” Greg’s glass can be seen at the Thibault Gallery, 815 Bay Street, Beaufort, where he is the featured artist of the month for March.

The Lowenstein impulse

By Lee Scott

I saw it last week - a woman in her red mini-cooper driving next to me over the bridge near Parris Island. It was one of those beautiful days when the thermostat was heading towards eighty degrees and the sky was a clear blue. The February chill was finally behind us. The top was down on her convertible and I heard her as her arms went up in the air, “Lowenstein, Lowenstein!” I knew what she was doing that day. Anyone who has read the book “Prince of Tides” by Pat Conroy or seen the movie “Prince of Tides” will recognize it. Tom Wingo, the main character in the book, says it as he crosses one of the bridges out of Charleston that take him home in the evening. He says it “as prayer, as regret, as praise”. “Lowenstein, Lowenstein! It is soulful.”

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

The Lowenstein impulse hit me the first time I drove over the old railroad bridge into Charleston. It was the fall of 1996 (right after Hurricane Fran struck the east coast). My daughter and I were doing the tour of colleges and we were headed to the College of Charleston. As we drove over the bridge in her little VW Cabriolet, I put up my arms and said, “Lowenstein, Lowenstein.” You can imagine my seventeen year olds

reaction, but when I told her the story, she understood. She told me that later after she had started classes at the College of Charleston, she would say it too, especially on those days that were particularly spectacular.

For me, who moved around a lot as a child, my birthplace does not hold the same significance it would have had I grown up there. My father was Civil Service and although I was born in Rhode Island, I only spent three

short months there before we moved.

When people ask where I am from, it is a tough question to answer because I have lived so many places. Children of military families say they have the same problem. But sometimes, you feel a connection to a place.

It has been almost twenty years since my daughter and I did that trip and I never expected to see myself driving over the Low Country bridges as I do now. Here I am in Beaufort finding myself looking up through the sunroof of my car and saying it.

“Lowenstein, Lowenstein.” It is the sense of being thankful for life; but also now for being home. When I saw the woman in the mini cooper with her arms in the air, I thought of how many people must be inspired to do the same thing. As with Tom Wingo we are headed home.

It’s springtime in Port Royal

By Bill Rauch

With the dozen-years-in-themaking, the Port of Port Royal sale now scheduled to close in June, and with Parris Island’s centennial celebration kicking off in May, the Town of Port Royal has a lot to look forward to. Taken together, however, the steps the town has taken over the past few years are just as impressive.

Last month’s Bands, Brews and BBQ Festival that attracted over a thousand participants as a fundraiser for The Friends of Caroline Hospice is a reminder of all the music events the town hosts these days: the Soft Shell Crab Festival in April, the concert series on alternate Saturday summer evenings, and the Oktoberfest for starters.

When sequestration ended Parris Island’s longstanding July 4th fireworks show, who was standing by to pick it up? Port Royal.

What’s the 12th safest city in South Carolina today, according to the www. safewise.com website? Port Royal.

The only other Beaufort County municipality on www.safewise.com’s list is Bluffton at #31.

Who harvested the Farmer’s Market when its Beaufort lease was up? Who reeled in The Maritime Center? Who rebranded a string of drainage ponds into a nature tourism destination?

A reporter, publisher, ghostwriter and author, Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008.

Who got to yes with Greg Parker and landed the cheapest gas around?

Who’s got the friendliest website that features the funkiest virtual tour of their town?

Yup. All that in little Port Royal… except the town’s not so little anymore.

Port Royal’s heritage may be shrimpers, stevedores, and scalawags, but that was then. Today the shops and cafes along Paris Avenue play host to bankers, builders and wellheeled retirees by the bushel. That’s not to say the town has lost altogether its cool painters and poets in flip-

flops and patched cut-offs personna.

But there are some conspicuously well-pressed new layers in today’s demographic.

Over the past decade under the firm hand of Town Manager Van Willis and with the steady support of Mayor Sam Murray and the Port Royal Town Council, Port Royal has created excitement. And excitement is the best thing there is for business.

This didn’t just happen. Port Royal public policy made it happen. And it’s still happening.

The town’s new “cool, coastal, far from ordinary” marketing campaign is a recent case in point. “ That was Van’s idea,” Town Councilman Joe Lee told The Island News last week.

“He’s very progressive in the area of marketing.”

Port Royal’s not just doing billboards and t-shirts. Nor are they sitting back and waiting for the Chamber of Commerce to do all their lifting. The town produces a show on WHHI that markets Port Royal as a daytrip for Hilton Head’s visitors, and they contribute regularly to the 843 TV series that can be found on YouTube.

But Willis isn’t just a marketer, he runs a tight town hall too. “I take a proposal to Beaufort,” a local builder observed to The Island News recently, “and the planners there say ‘Hold it right there. We’re going to need to see these three studies you’ll need to commission from an engineer, an architect and an environmental engineer. Then come back with your lawyer and we’ll make a determination.’ I take a proposal to Port Royal and [Port Royal Town Planner] Linda Bridges says, ‘ Thank you for bringing this in. There are three ways we can go forward with this. Let’s go through them.’ It’s night and day.”

With Liberty Point, Shadow

Van Willis, Town Manager

Moss, Ashton Point and more new development out towards Habersham now filling up, and with in-fill development steadily increasing densities in Port Royal’s Old Village section, there’s no disputing that Port Royal is growing. The town’s 2010 population was 10,687, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, up from 2,985 in 1990. Business license fee revenues are up sharply too.

“You know,” Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville observed last week, “Van’s head’s just in the right place. He’s an aggressive advocate for the town. But he can be patient when he needs to be patient.

Look at the port.”

When the port redevelopment deal closes it will green light a new marina on Battery Creek just south of Dockside, as many as 250,000 square feet of new commercial space, and 425 new residential units too, according to the most recent PUD documents.

“When we heard about [former Beaufort City Manager] Scott Dadson’s departure from Beaufort,” Town Councilman Joe Lee recounted sternly last week, “the first thing we did was call up [Beaufort Mayor] Billy Keyserling and say ‘Keep your hands off Van.’”

wine

A Petit surprise

By Celia Strong

Sounds interesting, don’t you think?

This week we are going to explore some brand new things. A new wine, for sure. But, also, we’re going to take a pretty close look at a grape variety we’ve only mentioned in the past.

And, why have we only mentioned it?

Because it’s almost always just a small part in some blended wines. But, promise, this is going to be good.

So, let’s start at the beginning. With our grape. Petit Verdot. We must take note of the spelling of “petit” here. The masculine spelling. So, we may be safe in assuming its wine may be big and bold and masculine too? Let’s see.

Petit Verdot is a red variety that is still one of the five reds classified to make Bordeaux red wines. Unfortunately, Petit Verdot takes more time to ripen, sometimes about two weeks more. In Bordeaux, its main growing ground, the climate can turn cooler before it is ripe enough, and this has meant it is being used less and less there.

Historically, Petit Verdot predates Cabernet Sauvignon in the Bordeaux region. There are records of it from the eighteenth century, when it was used more in the Médoc (southern warmer part of Bordeaux) by many chateaux. Today, it seems that Petit Verdot only ripens completely one out of every four years. The parents of this grape are Tressort and Duras both of which the Romans may have brought into The Bordeaux area. The name “Petit Verdot” actually means “small green.” It refers to the small bunches of unripe, green grapes its vines so often produce.

The characteristics of Petit Verdot are unique. In small amounts, it is used in blends, like red Bordeaux wines, to add tannin, color and flavor. It also is used to help “stiffen,”

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

enhance and build up, the mid-palate of a wine. Further, it can enhance the aromas of a wine. Young Petit Verdot has banana and pencil lead aromas.

When more mature, there are violet and leather notes. Of course, we have simplified this a bit. The actual list of flavors and aromas in Petit Verdot is much longer. Violets, lavender, rosewater, graphite with the pencil lead, cola, plums, blueberries, leather, banana esters, blackberries, mulberries, fennel, star anise, white floral blossoms ( jasmine), vanilla, caramel, black olives. And more.

Anybody besides me starting wonder why it’s used only in small percentages in blends? Hmmmm.

In France, almost all the Petit Verdot that is planted in Bordeaux.

There are small amounts of this variety also grown in Italy and Portugal. In the New World, Chile and Argentina have plantings, as well as Australia and the United States.

In Australia, with proper ripening, the grape develops spicy notes, a lot like Shiraz. Australia does claim to have more Petit Verdot growing than any where else. In our country, Petit Verdot is used in many blends. The more consistent, warmer weather of California makes its ripening much more dependable. And, isn’t that part of where we’ve heard about it before? Still in small percentages, but in blends? We’ve always listed it as part of wines using the five red grape

varieties of Bordeaux. Remember?

Despite how good our list of Petit Verdot’s aromas and flavors sounds, it is rare that it is ever allowed to stand alone, as the whole wine. All of which makes it hard, especially for students like ourselves, to really learn what it tastes like. With research, we can find blended wines that use it. And, maybe, with very concentrated efforts, we can get a grasp on this variety. Part of our problem is going to be the varying percentages used from one vintage to the next. Some years more, some years less. I have found several United States blends that include some Petit Verdot. Regularly. Coppola Diamond Series Claret does will. Usually ten to fifteen percent. Donati Claret uses a much tinier amount, less than five percent. Gravel Bar Alluvial Red, from Washington State, includes a small amount. And, also from Washington, Chateau Ste Michelle Indian Wells Red does too. But, still, I’m not sure any of these wines have enough Petit Verdot in them for us to really learn it.

Not to worry, though. As luck would have it, for the first time ever, we have a wine that is made from one hundred percent Petit Verdot! From Argentina, even. It’s the Zolo Black Petit Verdot. All these years, and this is the first one.

These grapes are sustainably grown at almost thirty-five feet above sea level. After harvest, they are cold macerated for five days and, then, fermented in cold tanks for fifteen days. The wine then rests on its lees for sixteen days. And, one hundred percent malo-lactic fermentation is followed by aging the wine in French oak barrels for eighteen months.

Now, here’s the thing. This is still a very young wine. A first quick taste

from the bottle is OK, but it sort of leaves you wondering “What’s the big deal?” There are some fruit flavors, some hints of pencil lead and leather, some tannins, just nothing great. Do it right, though. With our sample bottle, we went back four days later and retasted this wine. OMG! It’s big and bold and full of really dark fruit flavors, spices and vanilla, flowers like dark roses and dark violets, tannins to go with a great steak, it is a total package. Now, I know we don’t all have four days to let an open bottle come alive. But we do have decanters?

Or wine aerators? Take a small taste, like we did, as soon as you open the bottle. See what you think. But, help it be all it can be. Work with it and help it open up. This wine is a truly great and rare experience. And, just like not many wines of a hundred percent Petit Verdot are made, we only got a limited few. Less than three dozen bottles. It may be named for a small bunch of unripe grapes, but this is one big treat. For $33.99. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior or adopt a furry friend

Volunteers are special people

By Dr. Parker T. Barker and Prof. Percy Pussycat

Hi everybody. Meet the new PAWS Here column writers – I’m Dr. Parker T. Barker my furry friend Professor Percy Pussycat. Together we will give you the scoop on all things pet related every week.

We thought we would tackle a very important subject first. Volunteers.

Volunteers are special people. They are compassionate, giving, kind and they can make a huge difference to pets that are stuck in a shelter or animal control facility. But what makes a good volunteer besides a love of animals and a big heart?

Here are our collective favourite character traits.

1. Creativity & Imagination: We can probably all agree that people who are creative and have good imaginations are great to be around. The level of pas-

Prof. Percy Pussycat

sion and excitement they bring doesn’t allow the craziness of the unknown to overwhelm them or the drain of the mundane to get them down. Volunteering doesn’t need to be stressful. But it is surely rewarding.

2. Integrity: Volunteers are often

trusted with various levels of responsibility. Therefore, one of the most critical traits of being a great volunteer is integrity. When people are sincere in their everyday life, it enriches their volunteer work in a way that speaks louder than words. The way you serve really shows who you are and how much you care.

3. Sacrifice/Selflessness: Volunteering is just that - sacrificing of one’s time, energy and services without expecting anything in return. But the more you give the more you get back. The more you scratch behind the ears of a kitten, the more kisses you will get. And we all love those kisses!

4. Flexibility: In the volunteer world things change all the time. Projects can unravel, challenges can leap out of nowhere and puppies you were attached to

get adopted and move on. It takes someone willing to adapt and be flexible to thrive as a volunteer. A good way to describe it is as gaining some practice for the real world.

So, please consider giving some of your valuable time at a local shelter or animal control facility. As much or as little time as you can give will make a real difference to a dog or cat who is waiting for their furever home.

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

He lives on Lady’s Island with his sister, Peanut and their great Mom. Dr. Percy Pussycat is a trained animal behaviourist and received his degree from the Canine and Cat Institute in London. He lives in Shell Point with his brother, Harley and devoted human family.

PETS HAVE ALLERGIES TOO

Personally, I am sure I am allergic to anything green. When I see string beans or broccoli I start to feel sick. My solution is to just ignore them and leave them in my dinner bowl but for others who might be having an allergic reaction, Percy and I think it is best to see your vet.

Pets’ allergies most commonly arise from allergens, such as pollen, mold spores, house dust, and mites. Remember those “dust balls” we are accused of creating? Bad stuff can hide in them. Although any dog can develop allergies Percy tells me there are no particular cat breeds that appear to have a predisposition to allergens. Typical.

Clarice is a beautiful girl with a matching personality. She likes fountain flown water and will sit on your lap for attention. Come make friends with Clarice today at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center Monday-Saturday from 12-7pm. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccinations. Email us at info@palmettoanimalleague.org or call 843-645-1725 for more information.

In addition to environmental allergens, allergic reactions in animals may be caused by food allergies, fungi, and parasites, such as fleas and mites. Hate them all. Some allergies are easy to treat and some not so easy. The best plan is to work with your vet to come up with a plan. Good luck.

New Boutique hosting opening event

Spring cleaning isn’t just for houses.

Most women feel the need to spruce up their wardrobes as well when the weather turns balmy. Maybe it’s the psychological effect of shedding the heavy layers that cocoon us in the winter that makes us all yearn to be butterflies by sporting bright colors, gossamer fabrics and a bit of sparkle. Whatever the reason, a new boutique has just opened in ARTworks at Beaufort Town Center which will satisfy those cravings for something fun and frilly.

Run by three very elegant women, the boutique is actually a collective, comprised of Ngome (Pronounced “EnGo-May”) Enterprises, The Stylist Café, and Mahoganee’s Vintage Pieces. This well-curated mix of vintage and modern fashion and jewelry, draws from a range of cultures and eras. The partners are Donellia Chives, a young clothing and accessories designer; Mahoganee Amiger, a local songstress and fan of glamourous vintage style; and Cynthia Stewart, a former cosmetologist and self-described “fan of jewelry and feminine beauty since childhood”.

To introduce the boutique to stylish ladies of Beaufort, the trio will be hosting a “Sip & Shop” event on Saturday, March 14th with a variety of hot and cold teas available for sampling starting at noon, and a “Royal Tea” Tea Party from 4 to 6 p.m. with the additional offering of finger foods and homemade sweets. In addition to a social event and opportunity to preview the wares, special deals will be offered to shoppers throughout the afternoon.

The boutique is located inside ARTworks at 2127 Boundary St., Suite 18-A in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza. For more information, please call 843-575-3725.
