Powdered alcohol + schools = big problems The South Carolina Senate recently passed a ban on powdered alcohol, agreeing that the substance is just too dangerous even after the federal government approved selling it. A brand of powdered alcohol called Palcohol was approved for sale by the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau last week. On its website, Palcohol said it hopes to start selling its product in the summer.

About half the states in the U.S. are currently considering similar bans.

The bill faces one more procedural vote before it is sent to the House.

Opponents of the bill said it made no sense for South Carolina to sell

alcohol in liquid form, but not in powdered form.

Bill sponsor Larry Martin said the powdered alcohol is more dangerous because it has no taste or odor, can be

put in anything from other drinks to food and would be easier to hide than a bottle or flask of booze. He warned people could even snort it if they wanted to.

If the ban had failed, powered alcohol would be “the hottest stuff on high school campuses,” said Martin, R-Pickens. “I predict it would be the hottest stuff on a middle school campus.”

Senators seemed to be swayed by Martin’s argument that if powdered alcohol doesn’t cause problems in states where it was legal, then lawmakers can always change their minds.

Up with upcycling: the many uses of picture frames

By The Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Last month we upcycled headboards and footboards as examples of unique projects for our do-it-yourselfers. Upcycling is the process of converting an item and giving it new life as something useful and often beautiful as well as creative. You can find all kinds of goodies to re-invent at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore or at consignment or thrift stores in the area. When you are poking around a thrift store your eye is often drawn to something that speaks to you, but in its present state it is not something you would want to use. So here are some great ideas you can do with picture frames.

Key Holder: Refurbish your

frame, put a few hooks inside the top and hang!

Chalkboard: Try making a chalkboard frame to hang on your wall or sit on the kitchen counter! It’s SUPER easy. You just need a picture frame, and a can of chalkboard spray paint you can find at the hardware store.

You take out the glass, lay it on newspaper and spray the whole

glass plate with chalkboard spray paint. You may need two coats.

Once it’s totally dry, put it back in the frame, and you’re done.

The frames provide you with the unique look. You can distress them, paint vivid colors, or match them and make a set.

Tray: It is simple DIY to create a chic tray to display items or to serve on at parties. Select a picture frame with raised edges to look more like a tray. Finish

it as desired. Cut a piece of wallpaper or decorative paper to insert into the frame. You can add handles on your tray as well.

Purchase drawer pulls, which can be purchased at the ReStore, and screw them into the top of the frame. Or you can put little “feet” under the tray with wooden balls glued on.

Jewelry Holder: Paint your frame or distress it. Fashion racks out of dowels or even twigs and

hang necklaces from them. Or mount hooks (as in key holder) and hang necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.

As you can see, an exciting find can be turned into all kinds of useful and eye-catching things.

We always encourage you to UPCYCLE when you can. It’s a great way to be an example to everyone of recycling in a different way.

The ReStore is a great place to pick up such items and all proceeds go to a good cause. The LowCountry Habitat for Humanity ReStore is located at 616 Parris Island Gateway in Beaufort and is open Thursday through Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Donations welcome. Call 843-525-0055 to schedule your FREE pick up.

and other needs of the veterans. But perhaps more valuable to the veteran is not the trip, but the companionship of other veterans, new friends with similar experiences and men and women who have a true understanding and appreciation for the missions these soldiers accomplished.

So when Owen Hand, an Honor Flight board member, was approached by Johnson Creek Tavern co-owner Coleman White one day at the gym where they both work out, Hand listened to White’s amazing offer. White suggested that all of the dollar bills that have been tacked onto the restaurants walls and ceiling in two rooms since 1999 would be donated to the Honor Flight Network. The only catch was that somebody had to take them all down.

And in stepped 20 or so marines from the Marine Corp. Air Station to do the tedious work of pulling out lots and lots of small nails from the walls. In the end, almost $13.000 was given to the Honor Flight Network.

This very generous donation will make it possible for approximately 26 veterans to make this trip in May. Besides World War II vets, those who fought in Korea and Vietnam are also eligible to go.

Hand recounted his experience of being with veterans at the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. “It was probably

The concert will serve as a fund/friend- raiser event to support the renovation of Gantt Cottage which will serve as a Civil Rights Museum on Penn Center’s 50-acre historic campus. The original Gantt Cottage was named after formerly enslaved Hastings Gantt, who donated the original tract of land for the Penn School. Hastings Gantt was a business man and politician, who served in the South Carolina Legislature as a representative from Beaufort during the Reconstruction era. Hastings Gantt was an inspiration to landowners and land toiler alike. The 4

the most powerful and moving moment I have ever experienced. No way can we adequately thank these men and women for the sacrifices they all made on my behalf - and on your behalf. The Honor Flight Network has taken 1000’s of veterans to Washington and I hope we will be able to take 1000’s more. The Johnson Creek Tavern has certainly shown what it means to be supportive of our war veterans and personally, I cannot thank them enough.”

Neither can we. For more information on the Honor Flight Network go to www.honorflightsavannah.org.

original cottage was destroyed by fire around 1940.

The current cottage, built by Penn School students, is a replacement.

Two decades later, the Gantt Cottage was utilized as a residence and respite for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, during his numerous visits to Penn Center in the 1960’s with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Penn Center was one of only two sites in the South where multiracial groups could meet at a time of de facto and de jure segregation. Dr. King found the Penn Center’s campus a pleasant, suitable location to visit, rest, and work.

Recently, volunteers from the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort (UUFB) have committed to providing service to Penn Center and are assisting with much needed restorations to the exterior of Gantt Cottage. Penn Center is grateful for the support from the UUFB and to the Stanford University Talisman for providing this wonderful

fund/friend raising opportunity.

The public is cordially invited to attend the Stanford University Talisman concert on Thursday, March 26th at 6:30 p.m. in Frissell Community House at the historic Penn Center located at 16 Penn Center Circle West, St. Helena Island.

Admission for the concert is: $5/Adult, $3/ Youth (Ages 17-13) and Free/ Ages 12 & Under.

Donations are greatly appreciated, and can be made payable to Penn Center, Inc. and earmarked for the Gantt Cottage as Penn Center attempts to reach its goal of $25,000. Penn Center, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization with a mission to promote and preserve the history and culture of the Sea Islands.

Life is extraordinary

By Susan Stone

Life is extraordinary! There is nothing ordinary about it…nor has there ever been as far as I can remember.

Ordinary people have extraordinary experiences every day! But many of us pretend that we don’t. The Edgar Cayce’s and the Sylvia Browns of this world are not as unique as you may think.

Everyone has psychic gifts…

Susan everyone. It is Stone our nature.

Have you ever had an experience that you could not explain? Have you ever “felt” like something was wrong, only to find out later that something in fact had happened? Have you ever felt like you were protected, when you should have been injured? Have you ever thought of someone, only to have the phone ring and it was them? You are not alone. You have experienced something extraordinary. It is not as rare as you may think. In fact it’s quite common, if you pay attention. Some people

have the unique gift of communicating with animals. Some report seeing and hearing angels. We have seen evidence in scientific experiments that prove people can communicate telepathically.

More and more, children are remembering who they were in another life. Their stories are fascinating. There is no way these children could know the details of a time long before they were born. People like Kim Russo and Theresa Caputo are famous for helping others with readings from their loved ones who have crossed over. The only real difference between us and them is that we have yet to discover our own gifts. If special gifts run in your family, you would have grown up knowing that it’s very real. But if you grew up in a family that had other beliefs, then you

may have been told that isn’t possible, or worse.

If you think of mankind as an orchestra, some people are more gifted with wind instruments while others are better at strings or percussion.

All are vital parts of the orchestra, but each has its own specialty, so to speak. Maybe your gift is knowing when the phone is about to ring.

Perhaps you have prophetic dreams.

Do animals come to you? What about Nature Spirits? Do you have the gift of healing? Insight?

We have a magical nature about us. There is more to us “ordinary” people than meets the eye. We know things we’ve never been taught. We know things that other people have never told us about themselves. We are capable of assisting in miraculous healings…how? How can we do these things? My Master Teacher, who you may know as the humble carpenter from Nazareth once said; “What I have done, you will do and more”. I don’t think he was joking. I also don’t think we do any of this by ourselves.

In my experience as a healer, I am very clear that the energy which heals does

not come from me, but through me.

Over the years I have been witness to many miracles…spontaneous healings that cannot be explained by anyone, including their doctors.

Skepticism is healthy. I can’t remember who said this; if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything…or something to that effect. Every day I exercise my right to disbelieve in anything that doesn’t feel right. I also do not believe everything I think…as I have proved myself wrong many times. Your personal experiences are what change your heart. And once you know, you cannot not-know.

I believe we are here to help each other. And I think these Gifts of the Spirit are meant to assist us in that endeavor. What is your gift? What did you bring to the party to share? How can you help?

An Extraordinary life is awaiting you…will you join us?

You can find Susan Stone at Beaufort Chiropractic. She is an Intuitive healer, Reiki Master, minister and counselor.

Income strategies for retirement Will I have enough money in retirement? It’s a question more and more Americans are asking. Baby boomers in particular wonder if they’ll be able to live comfortably and securely when they leave the workaday world. The good news is that you may be able to retire with confidence and enough assets — if you get organized.

That means thinking about what you want retirement to be, reviewing your current investments and benefits, and taking maximum advantage of some investment vehicles designed to provide retirement income. As with so many things, the key is to set clear goals and then pursue them.

“People who are getting ready for retirement are more financially responsible than their counterparts who are not planning for retirement,” says David Karr, a CPA with the accounting firm of David E. Karr and Associates, LLC, in Rockville, Md. “People who spend less than they make and take maximum advantage of the opportunities presented them to save for retirement, these people understand that life is not all about today. If you want a nice retirement life, you need to start planning as early as possible.”

Setting retirement goals is not just about dollars and sense. It’s also about drawing on your values and hopes to create a satisfying life. For some, that may mean continuing to work past age 65, or even starting a new career. Others, of course, may be ready to stop laboring and start relaxing, volunteering, traveling or pursuing a pastime.

Because each individual’s idea of the perfect retirement is different, everybody will have different financial needs. Try to determine what yours will be based on your vision of being retired. Don’t accept the conventional wisdom that says all of us will require 60 to 80% of our 6

income when we stop working. Instead, try to estimate a budget for your specific vision of retirement.

Start by noting what you spend on the basics — food, shelter, Katie Cuppia clothing, health care Phifer and transportation.

Include expenses for raising children and the mortgage, if it still needs to be paid off. Also, if you keep working, account for any income you anticipate. Add costs for travel, hobbies, entertaining, donations and a second home, if that’s something you’ve worked toward attaining. Think about what might happen to your taxes and apply that information accordingly. While admittedly imprecise, this estimate should be a fair starting place for creating a retirement budget.

As you look ahead, be sure to consider that, realistically, you may be retired for a long time, and your finances need to reflect that fact.

“If you retire at 65, you have a life expectancy of another 20 to 25 years.

That’s a long, long time not to have a regular check coming in,” Karr says.

Once you have a sense of your financial needs, look at the benefits you’re confident you’ll receive. Make sure you know what you’ll get from your employer. This typically will take only a quick visit to the human resources department.

“Make sure you talk to well-informed people. Make sure they know what they’re talking about. Get all the facts. Sometimes there are gross misunderstandings about what you’ll get. You want to focus too on when you get benefits,” Karr says.

Also, review your savings and

the island news | march 19-25, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

investments. Then check on your Social Security benefits. Once a year, Social Security sends a statement of these. If you don’t have one, then use the benefit calculators at the Social Security Web site — www.ssa.gov.

When you know your goals and estimated expenses and income, you can create a written retirement plan that covers investments held in retirement and nonretirement accounts. As you do, it’s a good idea to look at several sources of income that you can use to save and invest.

Begin by considering using an Individual Retirement Account. Two types particularly deserve attention — traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Traditional IRAs tend to work best for people who believe they’ll be in a lower tax bracket during retirement and meet the criteria for making tax-deductible contributions. Earnings and contributions are taxable as ordinary income when withdrawn, and withdrawals prior to age 59½ may trigger a federal 10% penalty.

Payments from the account must begin when the investor reaches age 70½.

The Roth IRA generally appeals to people who want tax-deferred earnings, are OK with the idea of making aftertax contributions now in exchange for tax-free distributions in retirement and who expect to be in the same or a higher tax bracket when they retire.1 Holders of Roth IRAs often use them because they also may need access to their savings. The Roth IRA requires no minimum distribution during the investor’s lifetime. With both IRAs, investors make periodic contributions and direct how the money will be invested.

Besides IRAs, annuities2 also may have a place in your portfolio. An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company in which the insurer agrees to

make periodic payments to you, beginning either immediately or at some future date. Annuities are designed to be longterm investments used for retirement.

They have contract limitations, fees and charges that include, but are not limited to, mortality and expense risk charges, sales and surrender charges, administrative fees, and charges for optional benefits.

There are limitations on the amount of funds that may be withdrawn without a charge, and withdrawals reduce annuity contract benefits and values. Additionally, withdrawals of earnings are subject to ordinary income tax, and a federal 10% penalty may apply to withdrawals taken prior to age 59½.

Annuities have two basic forms — fixed and variable. Fixed annuities appeal to conservative investors because they deliver a fixed payment at a regular interval.

On the other hand, variable annuities generally offer a range of investment options, and the value of your investment will vary depending on the performance of the investment options you choose, which may directly impact the payments you are able to receive.

Ultimately, proper planning may help you get the retirement you desire, if you know what you want and what your options are — and pursue both with resolve and clarity.

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

I

n high school and college, Lime Lite Salon owner Dawn Faivre was frequently asked by friends to style their hair for special events. “I would often forget to allow time for myself because I enjoyed helping them get ready,” Dawn says. “This is when I knew cosmetology was my passion and decided to pursue it as a career.”

In 2001, the Greensboro, North Carolina native attended Trident Community College and received her cosmetology license. Since then, she’s been on a path to improve each client’s day.

According to Dawn, running a salon is about “having a not so happy-go-lucky client transform into laughter and smiles or supporting someone through a hard time by just being there to listen. It’s not just creating great hair, it’s also about the bonds and trust that are built.”

Of course, as owner of Lime Lite Salon, Dawn is also responsible for banking, payroll, orders, day-today management, coordinating in-salon education and overseeing all operations in addition to her favorite part of the job – being a full time “behind the chair” stylist.

Although Dawn recently celebrated Lime Lite Salon’s sixth anniversary, she opened the salon with David Watson in 2009.

“The process was scary, but so exciting. We started

8

with four stylists. This past July, I went from co-owner to sole owner of Lime Lite Salon. Over the years we’ve been so grateful to receive the Readers Choice Salon award four times. Lime Lite was also recently featured in a full-page write up in American Salon magazine. I plan to continue strong community involvement and providing the best service possible. I don’t believe things like this happen without the best stylists and customers a business could have. I am more than grateful and proud of the salon’s success.”

Dawn says that she learns something new every day, from what she calls “hair prickles” - confessions of what someone used as a styling product in a pinch – to details about wonderful trips around the world and a wealth of information people are willing to share.

Lime Lite Salon has supported many local charities and organizations including The Festival of Trees and Dragon Boat Race Day. They also offer free haircuts to anyone who is donating her or his hair.

Dawn’s family includes her husband John, daughter Caroline, who’s in fifth grade at Coosa Elementary School, and Thomas, a first grader at Riverview Charter School.

“We recently added seven members to our family,” Dawn says slyly. “Our seven hens are very happy in their

hen house that John built. At first we didn’t know what we would do with the eggs, but now that’s not a problem at all.”

A snow skier since she was 10, Dawn looks forward to an annual ski trip with her sister. Since snow is in short supply in the Lowcountry, Dawn says her second love is paddle boarding. But it’s obvious that Lime Lite Salon is very close to her heart.

“Lime Lite’s staff is my second family,” she says.

“Without this talented group the salon would not be what it is today. Looking back, I had no idea how rewarding being a hairstylist could be.”

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

Youngsters learn worms are good

Ms. Newton’s kindergarten class at Bridges Preparatory School is counting down to Spring!

First, they learned about worms and how they are beneficial to plants by building their very own worm dome, conducting different experiments to learn about worms and learning that they could grow up to be zoologist, biologist, or oligochaetologist (a worm scientist). The worms were then moved to a composting bin that will help plants in the school garden grow big and strong!

Beaufort High supports Reading Across America

Head Football coach Mark Clifford arranged for Beaufort High football players, cheerleaders and Driver’s Ed students to share their love of reading during the annual Read Across America celebration. This year, they visited classes at Port Royal and Lady’s Island Elementary Schools, where the “big kids” read favorite books to

younger students. This is the 4th year that Coach Clifford has officially been part of RAA, and has also supported Beaufort High’s Reindeer Readers program that has included all of our feeder elementary schools.

We appreciate the efforts of Coach Clifford and his students to highlight the importance of reading for all!

6th grade at Lady’s Island Middle explores Black History Mrs. Portia Johnson’s 6th grade World History classes recently held their annual “Black History Expo” at Lady’s Island Middle School. The Expo highlighted African Americans who have made “significant contributions” to our society.

Kaylee Cayo and her team members chose to present L.C. Bailey, the inventor of the first “folding bed”. Miss Cayo said that she “…really enjoyed working as a group and really enjoyed making the life size pictures of her subject while presenting to different people.”

She was not the only student to present, Taylor Cornish (pictured right), for example, presented George

Washington Carver. Miss Cornish said “What I enjoyed most about the project was doing the hard work and then being

able to show it off.” George Washington Carver, as the readers may remember, helped the agriculture industry with his work in cotton, sweet potato, soy bean and peanut production.

Finally, Garrett Smith said what he enjoyed most was using technology to do the research and learn new things about interesting people. Mr. Garrett (pictured left with Ariana Watson and Claire Davis) worked with his team to complete research on Mr. John Burr, who is credited with inventing the modern rotary lawn mower.

Local students win JROTC Leadership Awards at dining-in event “The dining-in is a formal dinner function for members of a military organization or unit. It provides an occasion for cadets, officers, noncommissioned officers, and their guests to gather together in an atmosphere of camaraderie, good fellowship, fun, and social rapport. It is important to emphasize that a dining-in

celebrates the unique bond or cohesion that has held military units together in battle, rather than become just another mandatory function.”

The 2015 Dining-in, hosted by the Beaufort County School District, included the top 25 cadets from each high school’s JROTC program and offered a few elements of a real Dining-in event

LADY’S ISLAND JUNIOR LEADERSHIP CLASS

such as it was a formal affair with dinner, toasts, awards, and a guest speaker. The “exhibition drill” event is unique to our dining-in and that’s because we wanted to have an event that would continue the competition for the Superintendent’s Cup Trophy.

Megan Alvarez selected for SC Elementary Honors Choir Congratulations to Megan Alvarez, a 4th Grade student of AMES Academy, for being selected into the South Carolina Elementary Honors Choir.

SCHOOL NOTES On March 7th the students of the Lady’s Island Junior Leadership class visited the Beaufort History Museum now located in the old Arsenal building in downtown.

From fishing to football, the hard work of athletes of all ages deserves recognition

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

Eagles commit five errors, fall to Colleton County Playing at home, the Beaufort High softball team committed five errors and couldn’t make up for the defensive miscues, eventually falling to Colleton County on Friday. Visiting Colleton

County pulled away to defeat the Eagles 11-3 in the early-season high school softball matchup.

Following the loss, Beaufort High dropped to 1-2.

Offensively for Beaufort High, Mari Cook and Rebecca Heate each went 1-for-2. Cook also had two walks in the game versus Colleton County.

Berkeley on Wednesday. The Eagles have additional upcoming games scheduled versus Hilton Head, Bluffton, Battery Creek, Berkeley and Thomas Heyward Academy.

Battery Creek wins season-opener over Whale Branch Behind a strong pitching performance

by Michaux Gee, Battery Creek beat Whale Branch 14-2 in its season-opener on Tuesday March 10. Gee, strong from start to finish, allowed only one hit and

didn’t walk anyone in the contest.

Battery Creek used a balanced hitting attack to win convincingly against Whale Branch.

Pacing Battery Creek at the plate,

Victoria Hill went 3-for-4 with two singles, a triple and two RBIs. Hill provided the Dolphins with a boost at the plate in more than one inning.

Also enjoying a multi-hit game for

Aiding the Battery Creek offensive attack, Julianna Greer delivered a triple and two RBIs.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Dolphins down Wade Hampton, 9-4 In an early-season South Carolina high school baseball game, Kyle Lanning pitched Battery Creek past Wade Hampton as the Dolphins prevailed 9-4

on Wednesday (March 11).

Following the victory, Battery Creek evened its record to 1-1.

Lanning earned the win. The Battery

Creek pitcher thrived throughout the regular-season matchup.

Closing the game out in strong fashion, Battery Creek pitcher Tyler Hoffman

picked up the save.

Offensively for Battery Creek, Deanthony Moore went 1-for-2 with three walks and three runs.

Eagles double up Hilton Head Prep, 12-6 The Beaufort High baseball team managed to pull away from familiar foe Hilton Head Prep when the two teams hooked up for the first time in the young 2015 season last week. Beaufort High first baseman Mattison Pike belted a grand slam in the top half of the seventh inning to push

visiting Beaufort High past Hilton Head Coach 12-6 on Wednesday (March 11).

The productive Pike drove in six of the Eagles’ 12 runs. He narrowly missed smacking a pair of home runs. Pike clubbed a double that nearly cleared the bases in the fourth inning.

Brady Cormier accompanied Pike as another heavy hitter for the Beaufort baseball team. Cormier provided additional RBIs for the Eagles in the victory.

After high school is over, Pike is headed to Winthrop University.

Hilton Head Prep had its opportunities

in the early-season South Carolina high school baseball matchup. The Dolphins, however, couldn’t make the most of their offensive opportunities.

Prior to the start of the game, former Major League Baseball pitcher Steve Trout threw out the first pitch.

sports Beaufort High’s

Ron Parker resigns with

Kansas City Chiefs After becoming an outstanding football player at Beaufort High and being a second team All- American at Newberry College, Ron Parker recently completed his first year in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs where he played at both cornerback and safety positions. Parker started 15 of the 16 games and had 94 tackles and one interception.

Parker is headed back to Kansas City having just signed a new fiveyear contract with the Ron Chiefs for $30 million Parker which includes a base salary plus incentives for interceptions and post season play.

Many sports writers feel Parker’s play was critical to the success of one of the league’s best defenses last year and feel he will be a key element in how they do this coming season.

We all wish Parker a successful and safe next couple of years and plan on watching a lot of him on Sunday’s.

Go Chiefs!

Why choose Beaufort – a heartfelt answer

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Being in the new community arena of real estate, I often get the ‘why Beaufort’ question. Obviously, my instinctual reaction is one of disdain and contempt as if everyone with a freckle or a pulse should know the countless reasons to live by the sea. Withholding my unrequited flare for the sarcastic, I do my very best to answer without prejudice. Keeping it as simple and poignant as possible, I share some of the most basic of why’s. Having lived in the biggest of cities to the smallest of towns, I speak confidently in comparative terms.

First, there is the water. A calming ebb and flow no matter the day, no matter the situation and no matter the company, the water delicately dances to and fro with no discrimination. It flows just as gently for the monetarily challenged as it does for the more economically comfortable. It cares not your political disposition, your background or your address. It nourishes our town, rinses clean the sediment and welcomes solitary debate. Never underestimate a population that draws strength from a natural ebb and flow.

Mention is often made of our seemingly limited egress. It is true many of our roads have two lanes.

While the rest of the world highways and freeways, we find ways to slow down. Traffic jam consists of glimpses of sailboats, tug boats, shrimp boats

and your neighbor’s boat doing that which we all secretly crave.

Political conversations at length, won’t change the simple scenario that possibly our roads suit the lay of our land quite well. Part of our marsh side mystique is the ability to travel without four wheels.

Cherimie When surrounded by Mother Crane Weatherford Nature’s intricate interstate, travel is both subjective and liberating.

I have found that home seekers from all over search Beaufort for that certain something. Often I watch them scale down their mental checklist deciding if our small town measures up. Shopping, entertainment, health and the menu of modern “must haves” is as predictable as sand gnats in the summer. Their cars, purses and pockets are filled with printed accolades touting our area as one of America’s greatest small towns. Will they be happy? Can they see themselves living in beautiful Beaufort by the Sea? Travel magazines, retirement pamphlets and tourism treasures, although polished and precise, won’t come close. Unless they choose to call our quirky little town home, they may never know that we are connected by more than just a few bridges.

Countless clichés arise depicting the life of our

small town. Yes, everyone knows everyone even if by accident. We live in a fishbowl, a glass house. Not much can be done, said or thought without traveling faster and with more power than the common cold.

Cheering for the wrong football team can cause long term rifts just as cheering for the right football team can cause long term hangovers. Friendships span the test of time, the test of proximity and the test of Water Festival. When one of our own, has their world shaken more knees are bent and prayers raised than any month of Sundays combined. The ties that bind, bind strongly and without fail.

Over the next few months my office will house many conversations, comparisons and collective compromises. Our town will greet travelers, visitors and future residents with our infamous southern charm and grace. Many will dine in our waterside restaurants, tour our historic streets and shop in our small businesses; however, a few will hear the unspoken, feel the unpublished and love the untainted just enough to call Beaufort home. Just as many of us have already done. Happy Springtime beautiful Beaufort by the Sea.

A “Weather Vain”

By Lee Scott

A Weather Vane is an instrument for showing the direction of the wind. A “Weather Vain” is an obnoxious person bragging about their great weather. You know that person who has the uncontrollable urge to send texts and emails about the wonderful weather they are having while others are suffering.

They send pictures of themselves wearing shorts and t-shirts out fishing while their brothers and sisters are shoveling snow. They brag about how many “inches” of sunshine they had that day. Clearly these “Weather Vains” have not read Dale Carnegie’s book, “How to win friends and Influence people”.

The residents of Boston who have endured over one hundred inches of snow this year are not prepared to see

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 “Weather Vain’s” Facebook post showing him drinking a martini on his back deck. On the other hand, they don’t mind seeing a Boston couple’s Caribbean vacation pictures posted because everyone knows they will be back in the cold by the end of the week.

We here in South Carolina have had a pretty chilly winter, but we must refrain from complaining about our forty degree days. There

are people in the North who would have loved to just get out of the single digit temperatures. They are posting pictures on Facebook now of their thermostats above freezing – a warming trend. A friend of mine told me the story of her son who lives in Staten Island and takes the ferry to Manhattan. She said what used to be a short trip for him was turning into an hour long ordeal.

The last thing he wanted to hear

was her complaining about our two nights of freezing temperatures.

Their lives have been disrupted this winter. School delays and cancellations; bus, train and airplane delays. Government offices shut down. Let’s face it, these people are just not in a good mood right now!

Do not rub it in that you were playing golf all weekend! They do not want to know about your sunburn. That is just down right cruel.

So the next time you are chatting with a relative up north. Be sensitive.

Understand that they have had a particularly bad winter. Of course, when they send you pictures next August enjoying their comfortable seventy degree weather while we are sweltering here, you might want to provide them with the definition of a “Weather Vain”.

Available in sterling silver and 14kt gold. Starting at $75!

A Petit surprise

By Celia Strong

Now, I know I’ve heard that name somewhere. Way back, some time.

But, as usual, we have things to do and things to learn and things to taste, all before we talk a bit more about Nora.

So, let’s move it on. Busy us. As usual.

We’re doing California this week.

Napa Valley. A Pinot Grigio. I’m thinking, so that we can learn more about our grape and our winery, and who the heck Nora Desmond is, we should just say Napa and move on.

OK? (Yeh, sure. Anything to get to the wine tasting quicker.) As we should remember, Pinot Grigio is the same grape as Pinot Gris. In the United States, which name is used on the label is more a marketing choice than anything else. Most Oregon wineries call theirs “Pinot Gris” because their soil and climate make wines that are more similar to French Pinot Gris from the Alsace region. So they use the French name. From California, Pinot Grigio sells better so, there we are. Ours is a Pinot Grigio.

Pinot Gris has been known in the Burgundy region of France since the middle Ages. It is probably a clone of Pinot Noir, the great red variety that has made Burgundy wines since the Romans and before. Pinot Noir was also one of the few varieties grown in Champagne, where they originally tried to duplicate the better wines from Burgundy. (Of course, that was before the winemakers of that region accepted their bubbles and moved on.) Until the AC for Burgundy was passed, in the 1930’s, Pinot Gris was allowed as a blending variety in even their most expensive red wines. It seems the more modern style, meaning back then, was for darker colored wines with deeper flavors.

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

Pinot Gris was first introduced into the United States in 1965 by David Lett, at his Oregon winery, Eyrie. Pinot Gris/Grigio came to California in the 1980’s. Now, there are more than sixteen hundred acres of it planted, with more coming as the variety increases in popularity.

The flavors and textures of Pinot Gris/Grigio wines vary with where the grapes are grown and the winemakers’ style. The basics are this - Pinot Grigio often yields soft, low acidity wines. They can be slightly aromatic. They have stone fruit and citrus flavors. Less ripe grapes lean toward lime and green apple flavors.

More ripe and we get Meyer lemons and white nectarines and peaches.

Beyond the fruit flavors, there are possible almond, honeysuckle, clove, ginger and saline flavors. In California, because that’s where ours is from, the wines are more light bodied with crisp, refreshing flavors. And a sharp, nervy finish.

All of which makes these wines very food friendly. Seafood, sushi, Asian meals, goat cheeses, dishes with green herb seasonings, vegetables and much more.

Our winery for this week is Swanson Vineyards. Carl A. Swanson was a Swedish immigrant who settled in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1896. He opened a grocery store that eventually grew into an agricultural empire with poultry farms and

creameries. His sons, Gilbert C. and W. Clarke became part of the family business and moved the company into prepared foods. The Swanson family became known for their frozen dinner brand, launched in 1953. A totally ground breaking idea in its day. Carl’s grandson, Clarke, Jr., had a career in business (newspapers, television and banking), but in 1985 decided to return to his agricultural roots. Napa Valley grape growing.

In the mid-1980’s, they were one of the first producers of a Napa Valley Merlot. At a time before the valley was established as one of the great wine regions in the world. Since then, more family members have joined the team, and the winery has been able to hire top quality people. And, Swanson was the first vineyard to plant Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio in Napa. (A quick story. My first ever purchase of a California wine for myself, years ago, was Swanson Sangiovese. I had grown up with French wines, so that was a big deal!)

Swanson Pinot Grigio, our wine for this week, is a treat. The grapes come partly from the Swanson estate vineyards in Oakville and partly from a cooler vineyard located in Napa’s Oak Knoll district and, sometimes, a bit from a Santa Barbara super premium vineyard. Whole clusters of the grapes are crushed and, then, cold fermented to total dryness in stainless steel tanks. The lees are stirred every week, adding flavors and complexities. No oak is used. The aromas of the finished wine include pears, lychee nuts, Meyer lemons with peach and melon flavors. And a touch of guava. It has some minerality, and some weight and body. More like an Alsatian Pinot Gris than an Italian Pinot Grigio. With food, this wine

does really well with light pasta dishes, seafood, and - well you’ve seen the list.

But the winemaker that the Swanson’s hired was Chris Phelps, after he studied oenology at the University of Bordeaux, and made wines with the Moueix family (from Chateau Pétrus) and then made wine at Caymus in Napa.

I know that’s a bit of name-dropping, but the resume here has to be noted.

And what does he eat with his Swanson Pinot Grigio. Oysters. For $18.99.

Well, almost done. Phew. All we still have to cover this week is Nora Desmond. So, Nora Desmond was a character played by Gloria Swanson in the 1950 film “Sunset Boulevard.”

Gloria Swanson, had a Swedish father, like our vineyard, but sadly not related. The actress, though, was one of the first to believe in the benefits of organically grown foods. In “Sunset Boulevard,” she drank Champagne.

But she would have drunk our Swanson Pinot Grigio. Why? Because its grapes are sustainably grown. The circle is complete. Enjoy.

Here are a few suggestions for cat toys

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

This week friends we are going to take a look at what makes a good cat toy and how can you tell a good cat toy from a great one. Professor Percy, (as we like to call him,) has shared with me his thoughts on the subject. So, what makes a great cat toy? The first criteria he looks for is high quality construction. Without that, you are wasting your money.

Secondly, does it provide more than one activity for your cat to do? Can he chase it, bat it around, etc.? Multi-dimensional toys are infinitely better than ones that are just one trick ponies (a little joke).

And lastly, will it appeal to many different kinds of cats – from kittens to seniors and Siamese to Alley Cats.

PAWS Here

Dr. Parker T. Barker

Prof. Percy Pussycat

One of Professor Percy’s personal favorites is called a turbo scratcher. The concept is a round toy with a scratch area on the inside that spins and a ball in a track on the outside. Hours of fun here.

Next up is called a crinkle cave. This ingenious toy serves as a good place to

hide, or ambush unsuspecting prey, and definitely has the feel of being inside a box. But a colorful box. I will concede that the material on some of them isn’t the best (it can definitely rip) but repair is as simple as clear packing tape. And the price is more than reasonable for a multi-use cat item.

And two of the simplest and most fun toys to play with are a regular old cork your cat can bat around and a box or bag to hide in. You used to be able to find corks in the top of all wine bottles.

You can still find them – and no, we are not advocating that you consume lots of wine just to find a cork – but they are around. And paper grocery bags (not plastic) or paper shopping bags are always a hit.

So, you can spend lots of money on cat toys, some money on cat toys, or simply do some recycling of packaging from liquids you have already consumed. Check for online reviews before you invest. Your cat is going to be happy with whatever you bought her so enjoy it together and remember to smile at the end of the day.

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. Prof. 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.

HOW MANY PETS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB? Some people place a great deal of importance on the breed of pet they get. I don’t know why, but they do. Both Prof. Percy and I are Heinz 57 varieties and we seem to be doing just fine, thank you very much. Sorry, got side-tracked… Anyway, people can be drawn to a specific breed for many reasons including trivial things that a certain celebrity owns one. But many new pet owners don’t really understand breed differences so here are some very personal definitions which gain clarity as they all answer one question, “How many dogs/cats does it take to change a lightbulb?”

I asked that question at the dog park I go to and this is what I heard: Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, and we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us. Why rush?

Border Collie: OK. And then I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can’t reach that silly lamp!

Rita is a gorgeous cat who needs some time to get to know you. She is very playful, and her personality will light up when you bring out a laser. Come make friends with Rita at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center MondaySaturday from 12-7 p.m. 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.

Doberman: Make me.

Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

Australian Shepherd: First, I’ll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

So how would a cat answer that question? “Silly. Cats don’t change light bulbs. My humans do. So when is dinner?”

Need we say more? Dr. Parker T. Barker signing off.

Dr. Ken Meyer gives lecture on Swallowtailed Kites

If you love birds, and support the protection of our birds, don’t miss this important lecture on March 21st by Dr. Ken Meyer who founded and now directs the nonprofit Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI), located in Gainesville FL where they study and supports management and conservation of rare birds.

Prior to the 1900s, Swallow-tailed Kites nested in 21 states, but a decline from 1880 to 1940 resulted in the present scattered population mainly in six southeastern states. The Swallow-tailed Kite is of critical conservation concern to all state agencies, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Partners in Flight, Audubon, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Since 1988, the staff of Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI) has studied the yearround ecology and behavior of Swallow-tailed Kites to inform management and conservation planning. Ken will share with us critical strategies in place for conservation and the support of a rigorous population monitoring program.

The Meet and Greet will begin at 6:00

Help us raise funds for public restrooms to be added at the Washington St. Park. Join us on Monday, March 23, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at our Main Campus located at 1100 Boundary St. in downtown Beaufort.
