Bay Street Jewelers turns 75

By Molly Ingram

It is hard to imagine any store making it to the 75 year mark in this day and age. Stores seem to come and go with the ebb and flow of our local tides. But not Bay Street Jewelers. They have been in business right on Bay Street since Ben Fox

first opened their doors in pre-war 1941.

Then it was known as Fox Jewelers and later became Bay St. Jewelers.

Bay Street was the first full-line jewelry store to come to Beaufort. After Ben’s JEWELER continued on page 6

Terri and Mark Stokes celebrate the oldest remaining store on Bay Street.

Rabbinical Scholar to visit Beth Israel Synagogue Rabbi Moshe Edelman, a creative, inspiring and scholarly teacher, will be the guest of Congregation Beth Israel in Beaufort on Friday, March 25, and Saturday, March 26. As a Scholar in Residence, Rabbi Edelman will be teaching in the Synagogue at 401 Scotts St. in Beaufort on a variety of interesting topics. Guests are welcome; there is no cost, but donations are welcome.

On Friday evening at 7 p.m., Rabbi Edelman will discuss Purim, after the fact, exploring how this holiday is not a “kids-

only” time. He will show how the quintessential episode of antiSemitism rests within the scroll of Esther, and talk about the contemporary lessons of Purim’s past and present.

Rabbi Moshe Saturday morning Edelman at 10 a.m., Rabbi Edelman will give a talk entitled, “As the World Turns: Generations Emerge.”

The Rabbi will talk about the duality of

life events like a child being born, while, at the same time, an elderly woman dies in another locale. A husband must purchase a grave to mourn his longtime wife, as he fears facing the reality of becoming a “single parent.” He will discuss how parenting and grandparenting skills are poorly (or rarely) ever taught.

Saturday afternoon, from 4-6 p.m., the Rabbi will give a talk on “A Strategy for Jewish Life.” Rabbi Edelman will help participants discover how to

create a sacred persona and to build a communal holiness.

For 19 years, Rabbi Edelman had been a well-respected and popular rabbiteacher with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. A resident of New York, he served as Rabbi of the North Shore Jewish Center in Port Jefferson Long Island for 17 years. He helped build the congregation to over 800 families with passionate commitments to Shabbat observance, Torah study, pilgrimages to Israel for teens, families and senior adults.

History

continued from page 1 dividing into a “4 corners” focus, that displayed Brigade Headquarters, a commissary and army Sutlers (traveling

tradesmen who supplied the troops); infantry life and equipment; Northern missionaries and abolitionists; Freedmen; and the First South Carolina Regiment, which was comprised of soldiers of African American descent.

Activities included cooking over open fires, an infantry drill, classes in session

at a Freedmen school, a book signing by celebrated authors Stephen Wise and Lawrence Rowland, a march through town to Cannon Park, a visit to the National Cemetery for a wreath laying ceremony and an oyster roast for the re-enactors. Now that’s the way to learn about history!

Theresa White, CEO of the nonprofit Pan-African Family Empowerment & Land Preservation Network, submitted Sun City Hilton Head resident Marty Raffone's photo of him and his wife, Diane, delivering donations bound for Liberia to the historic Campbell Chapel A.M.E. Church in Bluffton.

Diane's Raffone's appeal to her fellow members of the Family Slide Dancers of Sun City resulted in the largest single donation to the collection drive initiated by students at Savannah State University. White organized five Beaufort County collection sites for donations in support of SSU's "Operation SHEA" otherwise known as Sending Humanitarian Education Abroad. The shipment of supplies that will help families recovering from Ebola is expected to arrive in West Africa in April.

around a track or path. Individuals and teams raise funds and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer.

The Beaufort Chapter of Relay for Life is gathering to kick off this year’s fundraising season.

Guests will hear how the community has benefited from funds raised in past years, honor local cancer survivors, and

learn how this year’s theme of “paint the world purple” will serve to save lives from cancer. Teams can register for the event which will be held on October 28th.

So on Monday, March 21 between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Keyserling Cancer Center located at 1680 Ribaut Road, join the many dedicated Beaufortonians determined to do what they can to fight cancer. Wendy Pollitzer,

Please contact Wendy Pollitzer at Wendy.Pollitzer@cancer.orgor or 843263-3216 to RSVP.

Jeweler

continued from page 1 retirement in 1978, his daughter and son-in law, Phyllis and Paul Isaac, purchased the business. Mark Stokes, an AGS Certified Gemologist and a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, CA was hired as a manager in 1983. Mark had previously worked for two other family guild stores, Galloway & Moseley Jewelers in his hometown of Sumter, SC and Sylvan Jewelers in Columbia, SC. In 1991, Mark and his wife, Terri, a graduate of USC with a degree in Business Administration – Management, purchased the historic downtown jewelry store and renamed it Bay Street Jewelers. Estate jewelry, contemporary jewelry, family hand-me-downs that need up-dating are the bread-and-butter of their business.

Bay Street Jewelers is a member of several elite industry groups. The most impressive one is the American Gem Society (AGS). According to their website “The American Gem Society was founded in 1934 by a small group of leading jewelers. Their goal was to create an organization that could help protect the jewelry-buying public from fraud and false advertising. Today, we’re proud to say their vision has become a reality… Only 1 in 20 jewelers have met the exacting requirements necessary for membership. To join AGS, every member must go through a peer-reviewed application process followed by an annual recertification exam. This process ensures that every AGS member you meet is at the top of their game, and more importantly, each one has pledged to protect you, the consumer.”

To the left is Fox Jewelers in 1941 when the store originally opened — notice the two gas lights on either side of the sign. On the right is present day Bay Street Jewelers.

Bay Street Jewelers also belongs to the Jewelers Vigilance Committee ( JVC); the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO); and the Retail Jewelers Organization (RJO). They are also a member of Jewelers of America ( JA) and very involved in the South Carolina Jewelers Association (SCJA), where Mark and Terri are both past Presidents.

Bay Street Jewelers does business the old fashioned way – they take pride in their store and believe in building business based on long-term client relationships – the Southern Hospitality approach. Starting with Ben Fox, the store has always put customers and friends first. In the old days, Ben would be the first one there to help a friend or client in need. And the ladies keep talking about his great dancing ability which seems to have made him somewhat of a legend around these parts, at least with the ladies! I guess that is one way to ingratiate

yourself with the local wives and mothers.

Mark says, “The store does regular repair work and provides a great atmosphere to consider a new jewelry addition to your family, but we love custom designing and consulting. I handle appraisals and what a thrill it is to me to have the honor to appraise family heirlooms and discuss their history with their current owner.”

Mark shared a story with me about a lady who wanted a Tourmaline in very specific “wine” color, in a very large size. Mark said, “I got to be a detective for this nice lady searching for the perfect 15-20 carat Tourmaline and then I got to turn it into a stunning dinner ring! Now that was fun!”

Seventy-five years is no easy feat. But looking at the store, and talking with their staff, you understood why clients call them “family.” I suspect Beaufort will have a Bay Street Jewelers for another decade or six.

New scholarship is established at Coastal Community Foundation On July 2nd, 2015, a generous group of anonymous donors, moved by the tragic murders at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church and Charleston’s remarkable response to the shooting, created a $3.2 million scholarship fund in honor of Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney.

Coastal Community Foundation today announced that the anonymous donors have selected the Foundation to manage the Fund and its companion program, the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program. This scholarship program will promote access to higher education for African American students by awarding scholarships and providing supportive resources.

“Students participating in the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program will have the opportunity to receive not just financial assistance, but to join a growing community of exceptional young leaders from the Lowcountry,” stated Darrin Goss, Sr., President and CEO of Coastal Community Foundation. “We are proud to play some small part in Reverend Pinckney’s legacy through this scholarship program.”

“I am pleased that students who might not otherwise have access to higher education or these kinds of supportive services will benefit from the funds raised in my husband’s memory. Access to a quality education is essential in the fight for social justice. I have devoted my professional life to educational initiatives and I look forward to working with Coastal Community Foundation on this important project,” said Jennifer Pinckney, Reverend Pinckney’s widow.

In addition to financial support, the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program will provide pre-college training and assistance, contact and support from program staff each school year and invitations to workshops and events during each student’s tenure as a “Reverend Pinckney Scholar”. It is anticipated that scholarship awards will range from $5,000 - $10,000 annually, and students will be eligible to renew awards for up to four years of higher education. The Foundation anticipates selecting eight scholarship winners in the first year and expanding the program in subsequent years.

the island news | march 17-23, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

Former Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. stated, “On behalf of the anonymous donors, we are very pleased to be working with Coastal Community Foundation on this scholarship. The Foundation’s expertise in scholarship administration and long-standing community history make it the best in the field to run this scholarship program, paying a fitting tribute to Reverend Pinckney’s legacy.”

This year, scholarship applications are open to African American students whose permanent residence is in Beaufort, Charleston or Jasper Counties, to include immediate family members of the victims of last June’s shooting.

Selection criteria include, but are not limited to, substantial financial need, academic performance and leadership and academic potential. The scholarship selection committee will also look for character traits and aspirations in applicants that will serve as a fitting legacy to the life of the Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney.

Former Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr.; Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr.; William Lewis, Jr., who were critical to

the establishment of the scholarship last summer, have agreed to advise Coastal Community Foundation on the scholarship process. In addition, Mrs. Pinckney will join them in advising the Foundation and be involved in program events.

Applications will be available online at www.coastalcommunityfoundation. org and will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, April 15, 2016.

Hilton Head Entrepreneur wins first prize After an overwhelming response from the entrepreneurial community and 73 entries submitted from throughout the country, winners were recently chosen for Hilton Head Island Economic Development Corporation's first-ever "Bring Your Business Idea to Life" contest. The contest was created to give entrepreneurs the opportunity to win a comprehensive array of prizes and support to help launch their businesses.

More than 150 business and community leaders attended the pitch competition at Poseidon Restaurant, where the six finalists gave “fast pitches” to a panel of well-known business leaders in the community serving as contest judges.

Tip Toes Custom Shoes will provide people who currently struggle with finding comfortable shoes (i.e., genetic anomalies, injuries, orthotics, work, sports) a reliable and repeatable method of procuring footwear that is both comfortable and stylish and which will reduce discomfort and improve their quality of life.

As First Place Winner, Patricia received a cash prize of $3,000; enrollment in the business incubator program at the Don Ryan Center for Innovation; business formation and trademark legal services from the Jolley Law Group, LLC (valued at $3,000); a marketing/branding package and expert business mentoring from SmartMarketing

main fermentable ingredient. In creating Honey Horn Meadworks, they plan to include a tasting room and onsite retail sales of mead, as well as tours.

Beaufort streamlines business licensing for group events No longer will individual food truck vendors or other small businesses need a City of Beaufort business license to sell wares at public events and festivals – the Beaufort City Council approved a “group event business license” to streamline the process.

The new rule allows an event organizer to buy an umbrella business license to cover all the participating vendors. For instance, if someone plans a fundraiser within the Beaufort City limits and invites 10 different food trucks to sell their items, the organizer can apply for one group event business license to cover all the food trucks.

“Our goal, and the goal of City Council, was to streamline the process and make it easier for organizers and participants to secure the proper business licenses,” said Kathy Todd, finance director for the City of Beaufort.

The new requirement applies to all events open to the public within the Beaufort City limits, whether on private, commercial or public property.

The primary benefit is clearing up confusion about requirements for business licenses at large events.

The amended ordinance exempts public market and short-term vendors – such as the Farmers’ Market.

Also exempted from the group event business license requirement are the annual Beaufort Water Festival, Gullah Festival, Taste of Beaufort and Shrimp Festival based on their existing management structure at the time the ordinance changed Feb. 9.

Also, professional conferences and trade shows to which the public isn’t invited aren’t required to obtain a group event business license.

Public shows, festivals and events where admission is open and where exhibitors present goods, wares, merchandise or services for sale, rent or promotional purposes, are required to get the new group event business license.

“The Group Event business license is also going to save money for the businesses,” Todd said. The group event business license fee is based on the anticipated number of participating merchants/vendors: Event participants Business license fee From 1-5 merchants $200 From 6-10 merchants $400

From 11-15 merchants $600 More than 15 merchants $1,000 “The other important thing is that if a participating vendor already has a City of Beaufort business license, such as a restaurant that will be part of a festival, then that vendor isn’t included in the count for the group license,” Todd said. “So, if an event has six merchants, but one of them holds a current city business license, the event organizer would need to pay only for the $200 group event license.”

The amended ordinance took effect upon City Council’s second reading on Feb. 9. Information about the new license rate and requirements is being shared with local business organizations and to the public through traditional and social media.

“City Council believes that vendors and other small businesses add to the excitement of festivals and group events here in Beaufort, and it’s in the best interests of the city to support and promote these events,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. “Setting up the group event business license is one way we can make it easier to do business with Beaufort.”

SOCIAL SECURITY: A WOMAN’S PERSPECTIVE Regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman, Social Security will not – and was never designed to – provide all of the income you’ll need to live comfortably during retirement. At best, your income from Social Security will supplement your other sources.

If you are factoring Social Security into your retirement plan, you should learn all you can about how to enhance your benefits, and how much income you may need from other sources, to be financially comfortable during your retirement years.

For women, however, there are some unique factors to consider in the equation.

With longer life expectancies than men, women tend to live more years in retirement and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income.

Because Social Security generally has annual cost-of-living adjustments, you have an inflation-protected benefit for as long as you live. For women, those increases are vital since women generally live longer than men.

In addition, Social Security provides dependent benefits to spouses, divorced spouses, elderly widows and widows with young children.

While Social Security is neutral with respect to gender (individuals with 10

identical earnings histories are treated with the same in terms of benefits), the following 2015 numbers1 released by the Social Security Administration Office Ashley Dando of Research and Statistics highlight how demographic characteristics of women compare with the entire population.

• Women reaching age 65 need to prepare for approximately 21.6 more years of living expenses. Men live an average of 19.3 more years.

• Women make up 56% of all Social Security beneficiaries age 62 and older and approximately 66% of beneficiaries age 85 and older.

• The average annual Social Security income received by women 65 years and older was $12,857 compared to $16,590 for men.

• For unmarried women age 65 and older (including widows), Social Security comprised 49% of their total income. In contrast, only 35% of unmarried elderly men’s income and 30% of elderly couples’ income came from Social Security.

• Of all elderly unmarried women receiving Social Security benefits, 49%

the island news | march 17-23, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

relied on Social Security for 90% or more of their income.

• Only 22% of unmarried women aged 65 or older were receiving their own private pensions, compared with 27.7% of unmarried men.

• Of the women who were employed fulltime, 56.4% participated in an employer-sponsored public and private sector plan compared to 53% of men.

While participation in employersponsored retirement plans is increasing for women in today’s workforce, women generally received lower pension benefits than men due to their relatively lower earnings.

Probably none of this comes as a surprise, considering women earning less and spending more time out of the work force than men.

On average, women spend 12 years out of the work force caring for others.2 Women also are more likely to work at small companies that lack employersponsored benefit programs and hold part-time rather than full-time positions.

Looking at the whole picture, you can see how these factors might tend to significantly affect women’s Social Security benefits and any retirement plan or pension plan benefits they may have accrued.

So how do women offset this gap?

Get a retirement plan in place so Social Security benefits can be an income supplement and not a mainstay.

Local writer launches first novel Stephanie Austin Edwards is the author of What We Set In Motion set to be released March 30th. The novel won the Best Submission Award at the Atlanta Writer’s Club Conference in 2013. Her recent publications include a short story in the University of Texas literary journal, riverSedge, and an essay in the book Beaufort Through the Ages.

The novel takes place in the turbulent, colorful 1970’s, What We Set in Motion finds the daughter of a prominent old South Carolina Lowcountry family fleeing to New York’s Greenwich Village in pursuit of a dance career. Cut off by her disapproving father and abandoned by her would-be fiancé, Nadine Carter Barnwell must strive on her own to beat the harrowing odds. Penniless and surrounded by the temptation of dubious money- making schemes and

the bitter disappointment of seeing a friend fall prey to them, Nadine battles fiercely for her place in the ultracompetitive world of dance -- only to reluctantly step away to please a man. It takes the loving, mystical intervention of her beloved aunt back in South Carolina and an unexpected letter from a young girl to set Nadine’s chaotic life firmly on the path to fulfillment and the startling realization that every encounter and each choice is a milestone in the quest to forge her own destiny.

Before Stephanie became a writer, she was a costume supervisor on Broadway for productions of Dreamgirls, Grind, The Rink (Liza Minelli) and Woman of the Year (Lauren Bacall), among others. She also has numerous film and television credits to her name, including work on The Cosby Show, the Woody

Allen films Hannah and Her Sisters and Radio Days, and Michael Jackson’s BAD music video. After giving up the bustle of New York City life, Stephanie has returned to her roots in the South Carolina Lowcountry, teaching writing workshops at the college level and working for the Beaufort School District as a grant consultant.

There will be a book launching party on Friday, April 1st at the Union Church located at 1004 11th St, Port Royal. Drop in between 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and meet the author. Please RSVP before 3/26 to attend and hold a book to stephanie. austin.edwards@gmail.com.

Beaufort Jasper County offers free colon cancer screenings Beaufort Jasper County Volunteers in Medicine (BJVIM) is one of three free clinics in the Lowcountry offering colon cancer screenings for uninsured people.

Thanks to the efforts from Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, which secured a grant with the American Cancer Society’s National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, and a grant from AccessHealth Lowcountry, BJVIM, Good Neighbors Free Medical Clinic in Beaufort and the Volunteers in Medicine of Hilton Head are offering fecal immunochemical test (FIT) for screening colon cancer. It tests for hidden human blood in stool,

which can be an early sign of cancer. Medicines and food do not interfere with the test. So it tends to be more accurate and have fewer false positive results than other tests.

“Colon cancer is 100% curable if it’s detected in time, and it’s also preventable if polyps are removed prior to becoming cancerous,” said Debbie Slazyk, director of AccessHealth Lowcountry, which serves as a liaison between patients and medical providers.

There have been two positive FIT tests since the clinics started in mid-January, with the remaining tests being negative. Patients are required to take the tests

home and then mail in their samples. There was a 50% return rate within the first five weeks of the FIT project.

Dr. John Crisologo, a gastroenterologist with Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group, is performing up to eight free colonoscopies a month, and Beaufort Pathology is waiving their fees for their services as well, Slazyk said.

“There has been a lot of interest with the primary care physicians in the community to expand the program with uninsured patients and those who qualify with low income guidelines,” Slazyk said.

Honeybee inspired paintings on display Charles Street Oil paint and beeswax are a marriage of content and medium in Melba Cooper’s new abstract paintings inspired by the Honeybee.

Meet the artist at a reception from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 8th.

Cooper moved to the Lowcountry in 1974 where she had a career teaching art and arts integration. She is a member of the Beaufort Art Association. She now resides most of the year in Western NC.

New Years are like Mondays…always a good time to begin again.

By Susan Stone

We have made a tradition out of making resolutions. We see each New Year as an opportunity to change. The slate, so to speak is clear and wide open to new possibilities. It’s sort of like Mondays. We see it as an obvious starting point. We resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, get organized, pay off our debt and the lists go on. Some goals are very attainable; others are more of a challenge.

Regardless of whether we find our resolve at the beginning of the year or in a new week, statistically we will sabotage our own efforts and fall short in some way… no matter how determined we are. Why? How many times have we said (both aloud and to ourselves); what is wrong with me!!! Why did I just do that? Why do I continue to…? Why do I avoid…? I truly believe that if we can understand what makes us tick, then maybe, just maybe we can change. I would love to know why I cannot make myself eat a piece of fruit in the winter. No matter what I know is good for me…why won’t I do it?

We are aware that we have a slew of old 12

thought patterns. Without question, we have habits and beliefs that are outdated.

There are things we have always done a certain way. We are creatures of habit. Granted, we have all made many modifications along the way. Some of our old habits were easy to change, mostly because we outgrew them. Some of the more difficult changes were so huge that they left us not wanting to change anything else for a while.

I know I am not alone here. Most of us wait until our bodies are sick and diseased before we are willing to change our ways. Sometimes it’s tempting to just throw in a lit match, rather than clean out a room. And we love to blame the world

the island news | march 17-23, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

for making it so easy to get a credit card or to eat the wrong foods. No matter our excuse, we must face the truth and mature or except the consequences.

As I speed toward sixty I realize that my young strong body could withstand incredible punishment. I could go long periods without sleep, nutrition or exercise. Not today. More than ever I am aware that if I am going to enjoy my remaining years on this planet, then I had better make some changes.

If past behavior is a good predictor of future behavior, then I must also change my approach. In the past making declarations of my intentions only added to my embarrassment and depression

after I failed. My attempts to avoid embarrassment made me secretive and left me with feelings that I’ll never be able to control myself…which is nonsense! Of course I can control myself! This I know to be a truth.

So how do we go from; the world is a complicated place. Life is hard enough.

I can’t help myself. The demands on my time wear me out. I’ll start tomorrow. I don’t need one more thing to feel guilty about or one more thing to add to my already busy life. To this; the world is just the world. Life is as hard as I make it. Today is the only day I have. Healthy boundaries will give me more time to enjoy life. I love myself enough to make the effort. I’m worth it!

Eat the elephant one bite at a time. To think we will change all of our habits at once is unrealistic and setting ourselves up for failure. Small victories give us such confidence to go forward. Feeling good about ourselves has no down sides.

We all stand a little taller when we feel accomplished. And Mondays are always a good day to begin again.

JUNIOR SCHOLARS

Below-grade-level readers to attend in extended school year program The Beaufort County School District’s elementary schools will require their struggling readers to attend 18 full days of focused literacy instruction this summer to help them catch up with their peers.

About 2,000 district students in grades 1-5 are expected for the free specialized classes, which will be required for students who score in the bottom 25 percent on standardized reading tests. Classes will be 8:20 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays from June 1 through June 30, and bus transportation will be provided along with breakfast and lunch.

“Reading is the single most important skill, not only in school but in life,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss.

“The earlier we can intervene to help struggling readers, the more likely it is that those students can become successful as they move up through the grades.”

The South Carolina General Assembly’s passage of the “Read to Succeed Act” requires that beginning with the 2017-18 school year, any student who isn’t proficient in reading by the end of Grade 3 must be retained.

Moss said that the school district’s additional summer reading instruction

Tallulah Henry and Suchir Shetty, eighth grade students at Bridges Preparatory School in downtown Beaufort, earned the distinction of being named South Carolina Junior Scholars for their academic talents.

The state Department of Education developed the Junior Scholars program more than 20 years ago to identify eighth grade students with exceptional talent. The program’s purpose is to identify and then nurture those students to promote their scholastic achievement.

In addition to being named Junior Scholars, both Bridges Prep students were inducted this year into the National Junior Honor Society. Bridges Prep is a free, state-chartered school open to all students in the Lowcountry.

Beyond their academic strengths, Suchir plays the xylophone in the Bridges Pep band. Tallulah is also musically inclined, as she plays the piano and is learning to play he ukulele.

“These are two of our many outstanding students,” Interim Head of School Dr. Bob Bohnstengel said.

“It’s quite an achievement to be named a South Carolina Junior Scholar, and I am confident both of them have very

is aimed at helping students before the new state requirement takes effect.

Beaufort County parents of elementary school children will be notified within the next week if their child’s reading scores will likely require them to attend the free summer reading instruction in June. Parents who do not want their children to attend may apply for an opt-out waiver that states that they are aware of the possible retention consequences mandated by the new state law.

The summer reading instruction will be offered at 13 schools across the district, with classes consolidated in some instances.

Classes will be held at M.C. Riley Elementary, Mossy Oaks Elementary, Okatie Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary, River Ridge Academy, St. Helena Elementary and Whale Branch Elementary.

Consolidated reading classes will be offered at: · Broad River Elementary · Bluffton Elementary · Coosa Elementary · Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts · Port Royal Elementary

Tallulah Henry and Suchir Shetty, eighth graders at Bridges Preparatory School in historic downtown Beaufort, celebrate being named South Carolina Junior Scholars.

bright futures.”

Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid2012 and opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since then, enrollment has grown by 42 percent. For the 2016-2017 school year, Bridges Prep will expand to ninth grade.

IS THAT YOUR REAL NAME?

By Lee Scott

A new friend of mine recently e-mailed me and asked if “Lee” was my real name.

The question does not come up very often here in the south since the name Lee is very popular. But her question was valid, because Lee is actually not my real name. It was a nickname given to me by my parents when I was a baby.

My real name is Leslie. A name that only telephone marketers seem to know. In my family, many of us had nicknames because there were so many relatives with the same name. My brother David was named after our father David and our grandfather David. So he was given the nickname Sandy to help keep all the Davids straight. My father’s nickname was Buddy, named after the family dog

that had died. Needless to say he used David outside of his immediate family.

Then there is former President Carter whose real name is James, but even at 91 years old is still called Jimmy, his childhood nickname. And a female friend named Elizabeth was nicknamed Nimmie, rather than one of the more typical nicknames like Beth or Libby.

the island news | march 17-23, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

And heaven help you if you are stuck with a name from one of your older siblings. I know a woman whose real name is Susan but her older sister Joan called her Tu-Tu and it stuck. Now at 70 years old, she still goes by Tu-tu.

Since moving here, I have met women named Dolly, Sugar Belle, Baby and Sissy.

Then there is Biddy and Coco, Ce-Ce and

Weedy. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what is a nickname and what is not.

When I reached out to The Island News editor to ask her if Molly was her real name she was surprised by my question.

“No,” she said. “It’s Martha.” Who knew?

Something else that I noticed is if someone is called Billy, you would assume that their real name is William, but sometimes, here in the south, their real name is actually Billy. It made me question our Mayor’s real name. Is his name Billy or William? Everything I read says Billy Keyserling. So I called him. He was kind enough to call me back and answer my question. “It’s William, but everyone knows me as Billy.” “No problem, Mr. Mayor, I understand. It’s Leslie, but everyone knows me as Lee.”

A new wine, but not a complete stranger

By Celia Strong

This week we're going back to visit an old friend. And one of their new wines.

To begin, as usual, we'll learn a few things.

Some salient facts about where this new wine comes from, its producers and their story, foods we can enjoy it with. All the regular tidbits that make each wine what it is. And helps us remember them all. By doing all this, we are doing so much more than just drinking. A good thing!

Our wine comes from the B R Cohn Winery. This is a Sonoma winery, established in 1984, by Bruce Cohn. Partly, it is Bruce's story that makes B R Cohn wines so interesting. Bruce's family was originally involved in farming. In the early 1950's, they opened the first Grade-A goat dairy farm in northern California. Bruce lived in San Francisco when he went to high school. Needless to say, much of the lifestyle and energy of the Bay Area had its effect on him -especially the music. In the late 1960's, Bruce managed a rehearsal studio. In 1970, he began managing the Doobie Brothers, a popular local band. He and his family still manage them.

In 1974, because life on the road with the band could be exhausting, he returned to Sonoma County and bought an old dairy farm and vineyard. Once the vineyard was replanted, Bruce connected with Charlie Wagner from Caymus. Caymus actually used grapes from Bruce's vineyards! After that, Helen Turley was B R Cohn's first

winemaker. Followed by Merry Edwards and Steve Macrostie. Not many wineries can claim this many stellar winemakers in their history. Tells us something about their wine quality, doesn't it?

Our new B R Cohn wine this week is their North Coast Pinot Noir. Which means we have to learn a bit about this AVA. This is a particularly large AVA. About three million acres of grape growing areas spread over six counties - Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma and Solano. As a rule, the North Coast AVA covers wines that are made of grapes from several of these counties. This list of AVAs that are in all these counties is long, about 45 of them. So, as an example, you can get a wine labeled as "North Coast," and it can have grapes from Mt. Veeder AVA in Napa and from Alexander Valley AVA in Sonoma and from High Valley AVA in Mendocino. All really good AVAs, which blended together can make just as really good wines. And not always as expensive as single AVA wines. Good news!

Now, quickly, a bit about Pinot Noir.

the island news | march 17-23, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

A variety that has found its own place in United States wines since the 2004 movie "Sideways." In 2004, there were only 70,000 tons of Pinot grapes crushed. Ten years later? It was more than 245,000 tons. Pinot Noir grapes are generally difficult to grow. Wrong temperatures, too much or too little water, too hot sun on the wrong days - many things make it hard. When Pinot wines are good, though, they are very, very good. Just like the little girl in the old nursery rhyme.

Pinot wines' profiles include raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and cherry fruit flavors. Vanilla, from oak barrels, clove, licorice, coffee, cola, tobacco, black pepper, mushroom and caramel flavors are there, too. Their tannins are on the low side. Their acidity can be higher.

They can age, depending on style, for up to 20 years. Or not at all. They are usually best served not too warm. (A bit of a chill helps tweak the acidity and makes the wine taste much better.)

With food, Pinot Noir wines are very adaptable. They are light enough to go with fish, like salmon and tuna, and can also pair well with richer meats like duck and game birds. Anything you make with mushrooms is a good match for a Pinot.

Anything with bacon is a good match.

Goat cheeses, risottos, white pizzas, soy sauce and fish sauce. So much more. It is definitely time for our wine now.

Our B R Cohn Pinot Noir is in their

"Silver Label" tier. Less expensive than some of their wines, but one we can enjoy every day. This wine is 100% Pinot Noir.

Grapes from all over the North Coast AVA are used, making it a perfect example of how good this area's wines can be in the proper hands. The grapes for it are whole berry fermented. With the stems removed. Fermentation temperatures are warm and the punch downs are gentle. It is aged in French oak barrels. All of which makes a medium bodied wine that is rich and smooth textured. It has black cherry, raspberry and currant flavors with toffee and vanilla undertones. It is a lovely wine for just sipping and perfect with lighter style, summer meals. Yep, a new wine from an old friend is a good thing. For $19.99. Enjoy.

what to do TheraVista and others team up for yard sale

TheraVista, The Lending Room and Roxanne Cheney Organizes team up again for Spring Clean for JOY 2016 on Saturday March 19th 7:30 to 10 a.m. This semi-annual 'yard sale' where everything is free is an opportunity for community members to go through their closets, drawers and garages clearing items that no longer bring joy or they are tired of storing for that 'just in case' moment. Then it is given away to those who can use the items now. Experience the joy of giving and receiving while expanding awareness about the valuable service of the Lending Room which provides medical equipment for short or long term use, to anyone for a minimum donation of $1. Donations of items in all categories from furniture, household goods, tools, clothes, etc. will be accepted up until 6 p.m. Friday, March 18th. For more info on dropping off donations, email theravista@gmail.com or call 843.812-1328. Event will be held at TheraVista, 263 Brickyard Point Road South on Lady’s Island.
