Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park got up-front-and-personal with “American Idol” last Friday as hundreds of fans came to show support for contestant Candice Glover at a rally.

The 23-year-old St. Helena Island native made it to the Top 9 — and to the top of the list of local celebrities. Downtown is currently splattered with signs supporting the singer, and residents from all over the area arrived at the park toting signs that read “Get it Girl!” and “Candice CAN be the next American Idol!”

police briefS Man sentenced to 25 years for molestation

Just before jury selection for his trial was to begin on Monday, March 18, a 40-year-old Beaufort man pleaded guilty to molesting a young girl and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Jimmy Selsey pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor for a string of incidents that occurred in October 2011 when he fondled and had intercourse with a 10-year-old girl he was caring for at a home on Lafayette Street in Beaufort.

The victim told a family member that she had been abused by Selsey on several occasions. The family called the police and took the girl to the hospital for an evaluation. She also disclosed the abuse during a forensic interview with Hope Haven.

“The community is a safer place now that Jimmy Selsey can’t do this to another child,” said assistant solicitor Mary Jordan Lempesis, who prosecuted the case. “He looked for someone he had easy access to and molested a child he was supposed to be caring for while her mother was at work. I am proud of this little girl for having the strength to report the abuse to her family and for being willing to testify in the trial if it had moved forward.”

Sheriff ’s Office investigating robbery

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an armed robbery in Burton.

At approximately, 12:15 a.m. on March 19, deputies responded to Bon Aire Estates in reference to a 68-yearold man reporting an armed robbery.

Upon arrival, deputies found the victim bleeding profusely from his head and EMS responded and transported the victim to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for medical treatment.

After interviewing the victim, deputies learned the victim’s roommate came into his bedroom and asked to borrow the victim’s vehicle. The victim states he told his roommate he could not use his vehicle and the roommate became angry, struck him in the head with an iron object and grabbed money from off the nightstand before he fled on foot from the residence.

Sheriff ’s Office: Advice on plastic bottle bombs

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a rash of “plastic bottle bombs” that have been reported at Beaufort homes over the last week.

Five such incidents have been confirmed at homes on Ratel Dr, Roosevelt Blvd, Satilla Dr, and Cherry Blvd. In each incident, complainants reported hearing a loud explosion, initially thought to be a gunshot, outside their homes. Upon further inspection, the complainants found plastic bottles filled with a grayishcolor liquid laying in their yards, either fully exploded or expanded intact.

The Sheriff ’s Office wishes to remind citizens of the potential danger these devices possess. Bottle bombs are homemade explosives made with chemicals often found in your home, garage and pool.

These explosive devices appear to be mere discarded plastic bottles, an item that many would consider just picking up. However, the chemical reaction occurring inside these bottles causes a buildup of extremely volatile gases which will detonate with only the slightest of movement. The amount of force that is generated when a device of this nature detonates is powerful enough to severe fingers and limbs, cause 2nd, 3rd-degree chemical burns, respiratory injury, blindness and hearing loss, and even death.

These devices should not be moved or handled by anyone other than professionals. If a device of this nature is located, immediately isolate the area, keep back a minimum of 200 feet, and notify law enforcement.

To report crime, citizens can call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372) or text the word TIPSC with a message to CRIMES (274637).

At approximately, 11 p.m. on Monday, March 18, deputies responded to Taylor’s Mobile Home Park (482 Parris Island Gateway) in reference to a call of a gunshot victim.

Upon arrival, deputies found the residence open and only three juvenile children sleeping within the residence but no gunshot victim was found.

Contact was made with the children’s mother, who fled for her safety from the scene after shots were fired. The victim states her ex-boyfriend has been calling her throughout the day asking what she was doing, who she was with and that he was going to stop by the residence. The victim states she stopped answering his phone calls.

The victim states she, her mother, a cousin, another male friend and the children were inside the residence when her ex-boyfriend entered. She states the suspect stole a key and entered her residence without consent.

The victim states when she saw him in the residence her mother, her cousin, her male friend and she ran from the residence leaving the children behind.

The victim states as she was running down the street, she heard three gunshots. She states she ran to her mother’s residence and called 911.

Deputies located the victim’s male friend’s vehicle and determined the suspect had shot the vehicle several times.

Sheriff ’s Office investigating shooting

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting incident that injured a Burton man.

At approximately 7:15 p.m. March 17, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the area of Milledge Village Road in reference to an anonymous report of shots fired. As deputies were searching the area, they received a report that a gunshot victim had arrived at the Beaufort Memorial emergency room.

There, investigators made contact with a 35-year old male being treated for a gunshot wound to the arm.

Investigators have identified a person of interest, however, no arrests have been made as of yet. Anyone with information is asked to contact either Investigator Cpl. A. Rice at 843-2553429 or Crimestoppers.

news news briefS New Whale Branch fishing pier completed

After months of construction and hard work by Beaufort County’s Public Works crew, the brand new fishing Pier at Whale Branch is finished and open to the public.

In January of 2011, Beaufort Jasper Water & Sewer Authority granted Beaufort County an easement for part of the Port Royal Railroad Corridor that included the Whale Branch trestle.

The trestle, located on the northern end of Port Royal Island, has been closed to railroad traffic for years but had become a popular fishing destination. The county decided to bring the trestle up to safety standards allowing the public to fish, bird watch or enjoy the scenery.

Noxious fumes scare close part of Bay Street

A chemical commonly used by jewelers apparently sickened three downtown Beaufort employees and led emergency workers to close a three-block section of Bay Street last Wednesday morning for about two hours.

Beaufort County EMS and Beaufort firefighters treated three employees of Modern Jewelers and transported them to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for further examination of breathing

problems. All three women were treated and released and “are all doing fine,” Modern Jewelers owner Kevin Cuppia said.

About 9:30 a.m., the Beaufort Fire Department responded to a report of a possible structure fire at the jewelry store. Firefighters quickly determined there wasn’t a fire, but found store employees coughing and complaining of nausea.

Fire and police crews blocked Bay Street from Carteret to Charles streets while firefighters checked the air for hazardous substances and possible gas leaks. Although there weren’t any of the most common harmful substances or vapors detected, investigators found a chemical at Modern Jewelers that often is used for cleaning rings.

Crews quickly removed the chemical and neutralized it, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. is preventable Since an abnormal growth was found in his intestines 40 years ago, Hugh Gouldthorpe has had a colonoscopy every three to five years without fail.

Being a stickler about the regular screenings paid off.

Two years ago during a routine exam, Beaufort Memorial Hospital gastroenterologist Dr. Kevin Kearney found a cancerous growth during the screening.

“I credit Dr. Kearney for saving my life,” said the Beaufort resident.

Although the tumor had not penetrated the muscle, one lymph node had been affected. Following surgery to remove the tumor, Gouldthorpe received 30 rounds of radiation and chemotherapy at Beaufort Memorial’s Keyserling Cancer Center. It was followed a month later by eight more chemo treatments. He remains clear of cancer today.

The second-leading cause of cancerrelated deaths in the United States, colorectal cancer is expected to kill an estimated 50,830 men and women in 2013. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates as many as 60 percent of colorectal cancer deaths could be prevented if all men and women age 50 or older were screened routinely.

A colonoscopy, the test most often

Hugh Gouldthorpe is a colon cancer survivor.

recommended by physicians, can detect inflamed tissue, ulcers and abnormal growths called polyps—clumps of small, benign cells on the lining of the large intestine.

Not all polyps become cancer, but when they do, the cancer can damage nearby tissue and organs and metastasize or spread to other parts of the body.

“A colonoscopy is extremely important,” said BMH gastroenterologist Dr. Joel Ingegno, who practices with Kearney at Beaufort Memorial Center for Digestive Diseases in Port Royal. “It is one of the ways we can almost absolutely guarantee prevention of colon cancer.”

During the screening, a long, lighted tube with a tiny camera is inserted into the rectum and through the colon. If a polyp is found, the doctor can usually remove it using a special tool attached to the scope.

Patients are sedated so they don’t feel a thing. What most people dread is the “bowel prep” that is required before the screening. The oral laxative solution is necessary to clean out your bowels so the doctor has a clear view of the lining of your colon.

“It’s so important,” Kearney said. “It’s not a worthwhile test if I can’t see.”

In Gouldthorpe’s case it was critical.

“If he hadn’t prepped properly, his tumor could have easily been missed,” Kearney said.

Along with cancer, other gastrointestinal problems can be discovered during a colonoscopy, including diverticulitis, colitis, hemorrhoids and bleeding vessels.

Polyps are found in about half the screenings.

“If I see polyp,” Ingegno said. “I can remove it almost invariably right through the colonoscope.”

The American Cancer Society recommends men and women at average risk for colorectal cancer have their first colonoscopy at age 50. For AfricanAmericans, who have a higher incidence of the disease, the recommended age is 45. If the screening turns up clear and there is no family history of the disease, you can wait 10 years before being tested again.

March is colorectal cancer awareness month, a good excuse to schedule a colonoscopy if it’s been a few years since you had one — or if you’ve never been screened. For more information on scheduling your colonoscopy or any of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s digestive (GI) services, visit www.bmhsc.org. Drs. Kearney and Ingegno can be reached at 843-522-7890.

Just look up ...

By Martha O’Regan

Sounds so simple but how often do you just look up? Do you sometimes get to the end of the day and wonder what happened? Who crossed your path?

What lessons did you learn? With the great age of technology, it seems we have lost the ability to look up, look around and really drink in our surroundings. There are so many distractions enticing us to look down that we can truly miss the life that is passing us by. Lately, I find that I am finally slowing down long enough to actually look up with great gratitude at the beauty of our beloved Lowcountry or with awe at the magnificence of every person and particle around me. Maybe it is the realization that life is zipping by and if I don’t look up and tune in now, I will completely miss the rest of my life experience.

During those times when we find ourselves getting too bogged down with

the minutiae of a project that we can’t see the big picture, take a moment to honor that inner nudging to “just look up’.” And, when we do, often something wonderful comes into clarity. Maybe it’s a sunset, or your child’s shining eyes when telling a story, or a sign for a business whose services match a thought that you had just yesterday. Becoming aware of the thoughts and behaviors that keep our blinders narrowed before us is the first step to expanding our consciousness. The second step is to simply look up, look around and find one thing that you have never noticed.

Maybe it is a name on a mailbox that you pass every day, or a piece of artwork that has been hanging in your place of work for five years. It doesn’t matter if it is big or small; just take a moment to notice it.

A fun little exercise that I often ask clients who get hung up on the trivial details of day to day living to do is called “from

bigness to smallness.” Start with a globe, an atlas, a poster of the galaxies, or just the sky above; anything really big. Clear you mind and just stare at it, wonder about its creation, and continue staring at it until you feel an emotion in your body.

It may be a tingle, a tear of gratitude, or the ability to take a deep sigh. Allow yourself to feel what you feel as you tune into the awe of the bigness. Then pick up an acorn, blade of grass or a bug and

do the same thing — stare at it until you feel the awe of the smallness of its creation. Next, sit with your eyes closed and feel your heart beat, see what you see in your minds’ eye, and think about your last meal and all that your body is doing to process it. Stay there until you feel the awe of amazing machinery that keeps you going day in day out without being told what to do. And, finally stare down at your fingernail, a freckle on your hand, or a piece of hair from your head until you feel the awe of the smallness of each particle and how they came to be without our help at all. Now, take a few more moments to feel the awe of the magnificence of all of creation that we are a part of. It puts those trivial details in a different perspective, doesn’t it?

So look up, look around and enjoy the awe of your surroundings. Live Well ...

Have Fun!

‘You are a jewel’

By Takiya Smith

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a bit of a moment or “just one of those days” as many people can easily relate. It was not quite a bad day, but it was just a day where I was feeling the stress, pull, tug and strain of “just being” — being a mom, being a business owner, being busy, being restless and plain old just being. This day in particular, I was feeling overwhelmed with all my responsibilities, commitments and duties and the thought of it all tired me to the point of tears. However, in the midst of my tears, wanting to curl back up in bed, pull the covers over my head and just sleep all day, this article was derived.

The words “you are a jewel” were spoken

Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com.

to me this particular day and in my epiphany I want to share them with every woman who has ever felt overwhelmed, over-burdened, unappreciated or taken for granted.

On a daily basis, in addition to my family, I am a friend, mentor and confidant, at the ready to give advice, hugs, prayers or just a smile. Somehow, this day, God saw fit that I needed all of theses myself and sent

a stream of individuals to contact me that day. My phone rang throughout the day with calls from people, who just wanted to say “hi” or “you were on my mind.” I had two unexpected drop-in visits from clients I hadn’t seen, one in a year, the other in six months, just to say, “I wanted to come say hello” or “I just missed you and wanted to see you.”

The final call was from another clientturned-friend who called to say, “You were on my heart today, is everything OK?” Over the phone, she began to encourage me regarding my daily endeavors and in this moment it hit me that each and everyone of us needs this sort of encouragement. I found myself to be quite blessed this day with the thought of so many thinking

about me, that it prompted me to think about others and reach out to let them know they too are appreciated.

Many times, we go so long or take for granted the simple thought of extending our gratitude to others. A phone call, a hug, or just even “dropping in” can be enough to make someone’s day. I really learned a lesson here, that it is so important to let people know when you are thinking about them and it can do so much more for an individual to actually reach out to them.

How many times have you ever felt like you just needed a hug? How many times have you felt like just hearing someone’s voice or encouraging words?

I can guarantee, if you have ever felt that way, then so have they.

The Baby Diaries: Road trip lessons learned

By Pamela Brownstein

My husband and I grew up in families that enjoyed traveling long distances by car, so the appeal of hitting the open road was passed down to both of us.

I have been cross country twice, and Daniel and I have driven all over the Southeast and frequently to Ohio and Washington, D.C., to visit his family.

We knew our recent trip to New Orleans would be long, especially with our son Wolfe now very active at 14 months, but he’s been on long rides before so we thought he could handle it.

On the drive down, we stayed overnight at my aunt and uncle’s house along the Florida panhandle. From Beaufort, it’s a seven hour drive. About

Pam’s P.O.V.

Pamela Brownstein is a 5-foot-tall Scorpio who loves Beaufort and is trying to figure out this whole parenting thing. You can contact her at theislandnews@gmail.com.

halfway through, in the middle of nowhere along U.S. 10, Wolfe, who is usually very happy and well-behaved, started getting fussy and upset. Just as the crying was subsiding, I looked over at Daniel in the front seat and asked, “Do you smell that?” (He usually makes fun of me because I’m pregnant and have like super sonic sensitive smelling.)

Then I looked over the back of the car seat and saw Wolfe covered in barf.

The next exit wasn’t for another 10 miles, so we had to pull over on the side of the busy interstate. While I stripped down Wolfe and cleaned him off with baby wipes, Daniel did his best to clean the puke out of the car seat. After that, all we could do was keep on truckin.

I got used to the smell after several hours, and when he threw up again 15 minutes from our destination, we didn’t

even stop, we just kept going. I have never been so happy to see my relatives’ little house on the Redneck Riviera, and just to be out of the car.

The next day we faced the six hour drive to New Orleans. The baby did get sick again, but this time we had towels and a change of clothes at the ready. I felt sorry for the valet when we pulled up to the hotel, but I was elated not to have to drive for several days.

Wolfe was fine the rest of the trip and we enjoyed our time in the Big Easy. I was dreading the 12-hour drive home, and though we soldiered through, it was long for all of us. At a rest stop, Daniel was holding Wolfe and the baby got sick all over both of them. The look on Daniel’s face was surprise and horror, and it was all I could do not to laugh.

When we got home, we took Wolfe to the doctor and confirmed he had an ear infection which was causing him to get sick in the car. It was a bit of a relief to know he doesn’t have chronic motion sickness but, needless to say, we won’t be going on any road trips any time soon.

Shamrock Shakedown a ‘Green Success’

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

B

eaufort Academy hosted its annual fundraiser Saturday night, March 16, at Q on Bay. The Shamrock Shakedown was an overwhelming success. Rebecca Bass, Beaufort Academy’s Director of Development, echoed alumni and parents’ enthusiasm. “The Shamrock Shakedown exceeded our expectations. We broke every fundraising record we’ve ever had,” she said. The St. Patrick’s Day-themed party raised money to incorporate more innovative technology in the school’s curriculum to help prepare students for college and for life. Money was raised through ticket sales, a popular silent auction and sponsorships. “This party would not have been possible without the help of all of our incredible sponsors. On behalf of Beaufort Academy, thank you,” says Bass.

Beaufort High celebrates Glover “American Idol” finalist Candice Glover was cheered by hundreds of students in front of a Fox Network TV crew today at a pep rally at Beaufort High School, where Glover graduated in 2008.

The Beaufort High rally, complete with cheerleaders, singers, dancers and the school’s marching band, began just minutes after the conclusion of a public celebration that drew more than 300 local residents to Waterfront Park in Beaufort. Both of the boisterous rallies were filmed by a Fox Network crew for an upcoming episode of the popular TV show.

Glover advanced in the “American Idol” competition last week on the strength of her crowd-pleasing rendition of the classic Tom Jones hit, “I Who Have Nothing.” The show’s four judges — country star Keith Urban, rapper Nicki Minaj, TV personality Randy Jackson and singer Mariah

Larry Holman and Michael Rivers

Carey — gave Glover a standing ovation.

Before her successful “Idol” run began, Glover worked as an excursions coordinator on Fripp Island.

Laquan Fields, who tried out with Glover last summer in Charlotte, N.C., has been singing with her since high school. He and a group of friends held signs, waiting for the Fox television crews to show up and film a short clip about Glover’s hometown.

“I don’t want to say I’m surprised because I just know she was meant to do this,” Fields said.

Glover “made it to Hollywood” in two previous seasons but was booted off before the Top 20 each time.

Fields said Glover’s confidence as an artist grew exponentially after she was cut from the Las Vegas group in Season 11.

“She just has a better hold on it,” he said. “She couldn’t see it then but it was actually beneficial with getting cut when she did last year. She wants it more.”

Beaufort Water Search and Rescue

floats on ‘good samaritan’ attitude

By Anne Christnovich

W

hen there are rough waters or bad storms, most people keep their feet firmly on shore.

For the 42 volunteers of the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue team, their reaction is opposite: bad weather means they’re prepared to face the Mother Nature’s wrath at any moment.

The team is dispatched to respond to all kinds of waterrelated troubles. Most of the time, they’re dispatched to help with minor problems — to bring fuel to or tow stranded boaters, or to retrieve the occasional lost kayaker.

Other times, their presence is the difference between life and death.

Dick Jennings, the group’s elected Skipper, has volunteered with the team for eight years and is a lifelong resident of Beaufort County. He also worked with the U.S. Coast Guard before joining the search and rescue team.

From experience, he’s learned to never label any call as “routine.”

“Every rescue is different,” Jennings said. “You don’t always know where you’re going, or what you’re facing. We have to improvise.”

Jennings laughed as he retold one of his favorite water rescue stories.

A Marine who’d just returned from deployment in Iraq rented a boat with his wife and got lost on the Combahee River just as the sun went down.

The Marine lit a signal fire to help rescuers find them, but Jennings said it attracted more attention than the couple bargained for.

“The problem is, gators are attracted to warmth,” he said laughing. “By the time we got there, they were surrounded by them ... I had no idea what to say, so I told them to get in the boat and crouch down out of sight.”

“We react to any type of situation on the water. We are the first responders ...

The majority volunteer because they love the water and want to help.”

Dick Jennings, Beaufort Water Search and Rescue team skipper

The volunteer who rescued them hooked an anchor to their boat and towed them to safety, Jennings said.

While some of their calls result in funny stories, the team also has to grapple with tragedy.

Most recently, on a cold, windy December evening, a shrimp boat carrying two men capsized on the Broad River. Temperatures were in the 40s with winds between 30 and 40 miles per hour.

The search and rescue team was able to find and save one man, who was barely conscious and suffering from hypothermia.

The other lost consciousness and died from the cold and drown before responders could arrive.

“No one should have been on the water that day,” Jennings said, shaking his head. “(The survivor) was almost gone by the time we reached him. He was in bad shape.”

The group usually works with the U.S. Coast Guard, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources and the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

“We react to any type of situation on the water,” Jennings said. “We are the first responders.”

Jennings said dialing 911 is the best thing for a distressed boater, swimmer or water enthusiast to do. It’s the fastest and most effective way for the water

search and rescue team to get dispatched, he said.

The rescuers cover water emergencies from the northern end of Hilton Head Island to as far west as Edisto and Otter Island, just north of Beaufort County and about 3 miles out to sea.

In addition to the daring-do attitudes of the men and women on the team, the group does so without pay or compensation. They often use their own boats and buy equipment out of their own pockets. Among them, they have 15 boats ranging from 17 feet to 70 feet and put in about 2,000 volunteer hours each year, Jennings said. Some of the vessels were donated but most belong to the volunteers.

“The majority volunteer because they love the water and they want to help,” Jennings said. “We operate under the good Samaritan law.”

Beaufort Water Search and Rescue was founded in 1975 through an initiative from concerned citizens. Before

then, the nearest Coast Guard stations were in Charleston and on Tybee Island.

If there was an emergency on the water near Beaufort County, it could take as long as two hours for responders to arrive.

Most members have been there for 10 years or less but three volunteers — Gary Bright, Nick Russell and Dole Clifton — have been with the team for about 30 years, Jennings said. When they aren’t training or responding to calls, they work a myriad of day jobs including mechanics, doctors, lawyers, chiropractors and computer repairmen.

“Some of our guys will get back from a rescue at three or four in the morning and have to go to work a few hours later,” Jennings said. “If there’s a storm during the summer at 2 a.m., you can bet we’re probably out there.”

The group is a registered nonprofit and co-hosts “The Beaufort Water Search and Rescue and Fripp Island Sea Rescue Saint patty’s Golf Tournament” for a fundraiser each year. This year, the event will be held on at 9 a.m.

Saturday, March 23 at the Ocean Creek Golf Course on Fripp Island. Parties of four can participate for $75 per player.

Tickets include cart, range balls, door prizes and lunch and can be bought on the day of the event. For questions, contact Ted Michals at 843-838-5788.

riverview charter • Friday, March 22: Uniform Free Friday & BoxTops Collection • Saturday, March 23: Beaufort Twilight Run & Oyster Roast school district • The complex ecology and peaceful beauty of Port Royal Sound serves as the inspiration for a new collection of art and poetry by Beaufort County School District students.

“River of Words: Musings on Port Royal Sound through Poetry and Art 2013,” was unveiled at a Friday evening reception at ARTworks in Beaufort. The student publication is the culmination of an interdisciplinary learning experience about the sound’s watersheds.

“When children spend more time indoors and online than outdoors, there’s a legitimate concern that viewing nature only ‘virtually’ will lead to a diminished awareness of our local ecology and our ‘sense of place’ in the larger scheme of things, said Margaret Rushton, the school district’s fine arts coordinator. “This project helps to counteract that trend.”

Rushton said that 3,000 first- through 12thgraders from 22 district schools accepted the “River of Words” challenge last fall to extend learning beyond classroom walls and into neighboring marshes, beaches and maritime forests. More than 100 science, English language Arts, math, gifted and talented and visual arts teachers joined forces to design interdisciplinary units of study that examined local watersheds from multiple perspectives.

Athletic complex formally dedicated to honor school supporter Sheldon residents, school supporters and Beaufort County officials celebrated last week as the athletic complex at Whale Branch Early College High School was formally dedicated in the name of veteran Board of Education member Earl Campbell.

The Beaufort County Board of Education voted last year to name the athletic complex for Campbell, who was a key leader in building support for the construction of the new school that graduated its first class of seniors last spring. “I thank God that I lived long enough to see it happen,” Campbell said after the board’s unanimous vote. “Not for me, but for the community.”

The dedication ceremonies attracted

parents, students, community members, district officials and other school board members.

A Beaufort County native, Campbell began his education in a one-room schoolhouse on Hilton Head Island.

Drafted into the Army at the age of 18, he served two tours in Vietnam as a combat medic and earned a Bronze star and a Combat Medical Badge.

After retiring from the Army with 20 years of service, Campbell returned to Beaufort with his wife and family and earned associate’s degrees in Business and Criminal Justice. He then began a second career at the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Bil Lepp and the balloon that got away Bil Lepp is the headliner of the BIG Story Fest, April 11-14 at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center. He’s an internationally-known storyteller and humorist whose style has been described as a satisfying blend of Bill Cosby and Jeff Foxworthy. A five-time champion of the West Virginia Liars’ Contest, his outrageous tall-tales and witty stories have earned the appreciation of listeners of all ages. And, he’ll be judging and MC-ing the Liars Competition too — that’s your chance to tell a story during the festival. He’s got a new book out, “Muddling Through: Perspectives on Parenting.” Here’s an excerpt: Everyone has an idea and opinion on how you should raise your child. You and your spouse, partner, co-parent or you alone if you’re a single parent, need to decide on your approach and stick to it. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be open to advice (I mean, here you are reading a book full of advice), but you need to stick to your guns.

I’ve had to tell my own mother that while I appreciated her advice, I was also going to ignore it. I live with my kids every day and I know the methods I am employing.

Our son was born premature and the muscles he needed to suckle weren’t developed. He had a hard time eating.

He was born at just over five pounds and stayed tiny for a long time. People

constantly told my wife, “You need to feed that baby,” as if she hadn’t thought of that herself.

There were two guys at church we called Biscuit and Gravy because each Sunday that is what they said we should be feeding our newborn. We understood our son’s condition. We were in communication with the doctor. We knew what we were doing. A woman at a store said to my wife, “You child looks sickly. You should feed him more.” At the end of her rope, my generally sweet wife replied, “I think he’s doing pretty well for a child born without an esophagus.” It wasn’t the kindest thing my wife could have said, but it was doggone funny.

So, be it your child or an unsolicited councilor, stick to your guns. Momma knows best.

Start teaching your children from day one what is a need and what is a want.

Then help them attach the proper value to things. In other words, don’t get too attached to balloons. Balloons were never meant to be keepsakes. We need to tell our kids what things they can expect to

big storytelling anonymous donor In addition to the $250 individual grand prize, an anonymous donor has added a $1000 award aimed at getting community service organizations involved in the fun. As the champion storyteller, you can win $1,000 for your local charity. If the grand prize winner is a member of a Beaufort County service organization, $1,000 will be donated to that organization. $250 will be donated to each organization whose members make it to the final competition on April 14 at 1 p.m., the grand finale of the BIG Storytelling Festival.

stay around forever, and what things are fleeting. This helps them develop realistic expectations ... ... One weekend we hit the road for a three day trip. I’m a professional storyteller and tour often. When they can, my wife and kids join me. At one show a friendly old lady gave my daughter a handful of helium balloons. As we were getting into the van one of the balloons escaped. I watched the balloon head toward the clouds, and then I looked back at my daughter. Her face was locked into that silent, bitter, heartbreaking sob that only 4-year-olds can manufacture.

I thought she’d been stung by a wasp. Or bitten by a snake. Or that she had just seen her mother carried off by rabid camels.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

She gasped, pointed at the balloon disappearing into the sky, and managed to say, “Oh, Daddy, that ... that ... that was your favorite balloon!”

Up to that point, I hadn’t realized that I had a favorite balloon. I thought I hated all balloons equally. I try not to get too attached to balloons. I thought fast. “No. No,” I said, “this is my favorite balloon.”

I snatched a balloon from her remaining handful. “See?” I explained. “Mine has a white ribbon.” I pointed at the balloon now barely visible above the distant tree line.

“That one has a blue ribbon.”

“Are you sure?” my daughter asked doubtfully.

“Sure I’m sure.”

The BIG Story Fest is April 11-14 at ARTworks. It honors the deeply fun tradition of storytelling and storylistening with performances, family activities, and diverse voices, including Bil Lepp, Doug Elliott, Natalie Daise and Judy Sima.

ballet in cinema: ‘notre dame de paris’ at uscb Emerging Pictures Ballet in Cinema will present “Notre-Dame de Paris” from La Scala Ballet on Sunday, March 24 at 4:00 p.m. at USCB Center for the Arts in Beaufort.

Inspired by Victor Hugo’s novel, “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,” the ballet’s highly dramatic and passionate story revolves around four great characters; Esmeralda, the compassionate gypsy girl

danced by Natalia Osipova; Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell ringer of the cathedral danced by Roberto Bolle; Frollo, the archdeacon of Notre-Dame danced

by Mick Zeni; and Phoebus, a captain in the army, danced by Eris Nezha. The setting is Paris in 1482, Act I at the “Fools’ Festival” and Act II in the Bell Tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

The production features the music of

Maurice Jarre, conducted by Paul Connelly, sets by Rene Allio, and the renowned costumes of Yves SaintLaurent. The ballet returns to La Scala after more than 10 years since its last performance and is once again celebrating the artistic vision of director Roland

Petit brought alive by the choreography, sets, costumes and music.

Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling the box office at 521-4145 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, or at the door one hour prior to the performance.

CODA volunteer receives SC award The South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault has named CODA volunteer and Beaufort resident Yajaira BenetSmith South Carolina’s “Volunteer of the Year” for her outstanding service and dedication to CODA and survivors of domestic violence.

Not only is Yajaira an advocate for survivors when she is volunteering with CODA, but also when she is in the community and working as the PASOs Coordinator for Beaufort and Jasper counties. CODA’s executive director Kristin Dubrowski sees Yajaira as an ambassador between CODA and Spanish speaking communities — doing outreach, informing survivors of CODA’s services and helping to interpret in order for survivors to access services.

“Yajaira is a dedicated and strong advocate who works to ensure that Spanish-speaking survivors have a voice and have options,” says Dubrowski.

Yajaira frequently volunteers with CODA’s children’s counselor Paula

Hetzel to conduct intakes with Spanish speaking parents so their children can receive counseling. Paula says, “Yajaira always has a smile and takes pride in the assistance she provides. She has been such a blessing to CODA — she is an amazing woman who assists whenever needed.”

When Yajaira was told about her nomination and award, she said, “I think this is the second time I won something. And in this case, it means a lot to me, as I feel to be the lucky one for being in an area where collaboration is so important. I am very fortunate to be able to add my little grain. Thanks to everyone for the nomination and the award — I love it!”

New CEO for United Way of Lowcountry named A six-month national search for the next CEO of United Way of the Lowcountry concluded when the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Tina Lamb Gentry of Asheville, NC, as their next president and Chief Executive Officer.

“I am truly honored to be selected to serve the United Way of the Lowcountry in this capacity,” Gentry said. “I am eager to build on the momentum that has been generated with our community impact areas of health, education and financial stability in order to serve the residents in our communities.”

After 18-plus years of helping make Beaufort and Jasper counties a better place, United Way CEO Clarece Walker retired in late February.

Since 2003, Gentry has worked as vice president of patient access and sustainable resources for Four Seasons in Flat Rock, N.C., where she oversaw Tina Lamb a $20 million Gentry annual budget and 277 staff members with duties including researching, creating, implementing and evaluating comprehensive business and strategic plans.

From 1994-2002, Gentry worked with the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce and prior to that worked in banking, including then-Nations Bank

of Hilton Head Island.

“We are very fortunate to have someone with Tina’s demonstrated leadership abilities, experience, compassion and community commitment join our team,” said Peter Post, chairman of the board for United Way of the Lowcountry.

“It’s a challenge to step into Clarece’s shoes after all she’s done for the Lowcountry, but we have every confidence that Mrs. Gentry will take us to even greater heights,” Post said.

A 35-year veteran of United Way, Walker announced her retirement last June. The Board of Director’s search committee, led by Chris McCorkendale, sought both local talent and those with national experience.

Gentry was selected from more than

60 qualified applicants, McCorkendale said.

“We reviewed many outstanding candidates,” he said. “On behalf of the Search Committee and the United Way Board, we want to thank the applicants for their interest in helping improve the Lowcountry, we congratulate Tina and look forward to further advancing our community impact objectives.”

Gentry holds a Bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from the University of South Carolina, an associate’s degree with a concentration in accounting from USCB, and is pursuing a Master’s in healthcare administration from the University of Cincinnati. Gentry graduated from Beaufort High in 1988.

Plaque program bringing history to the streets through HBF A new and highly visible project is under way to bring more history to Beaufort’s streets with a plaque program designed for owners of historic structures to indicate the historic name of their properties and the date they were built. Sponsored by Historic Beaufort Foundation, the plaque program is part of an educational outreach that will result by the end of the year in the re-publication of “A Guide to Historic Beaufort,” the Foundation’s seminal work on the National Historic Landmark District.

The plaques are hand-cast bronze, oval-shaped and

measure seven inches by 10 inches. The historical name of the house, the date of its construction and HBF’s name will appear.

Debated by HBF for a number of years, the project was jumpstarted recently by discussions with the Beaufort Regional Visitors Center which has been searching for more ways to engage visitors in Beaufort’s history. It grew from discussions in the research committee which is rewriting the Guidebook and developing a new map of the Landmark District.

For the first year, the plaques will be available to HBF members for $200. each, plus $10.95 shipping, and to non-members for $250. each, plus shipping. Nonmembers will gain a one-year HBF membership with their purchase. A grant program for property owners of limited means and for buildings in the core commercial district is being planned.

More details about the program are available by calling 843-379-3331. Samples can be seen at HBF headquarters at 208 Scott Street or at www.historicbeaufort.org.

Church congregation helps out community

By Tracy Davidson

For the past four years, Carteret Street United Methodist Church has engaged in a day of service. This year, more than 150 volunteers of all ages from the congregation went out into our community and helped nonprofit agencies and those in need throughout northern Beaufort County. The service projects ranged from painting, repairing, sorting food, sorting clothing, cooking and yard work. There were three new projects this year: Boys & Girls Club Thrift Store, Morningside Assisted Living and Hunting Island Beach Cleanup.

I visited many of the sites and each one had something special happening.

The youngest volunteers went to Morningside of Beaufort and spent the day playing games and singing with residents there. The youth, along with the Boy Scouts, also did yard work at several different elderly residences.

A group of men and women went to the Mercy Cemetery, including Pastor Rev. Susan Ulmer, and removed trash, raked, replaced bricks and stones, and even picked up fallen tombstones.

One elderly home needed roof and window repair while another needed exterior doors replaced.

Fusion, Micro-link, Clip-in & Skin Weft Hair Extensions

Volunteers were able to help several nonprofits complete their spring sprucing up by painting, pressure washing and replacing tile work.

These examples just touch on the many services that happened last week, but there was no job too big for the congregation.

As I was leaving the Thumbs Up office after volunteers had cleaned up the yard, one of the children who attends Thumbs Up said, “God bless you.” I don’t think there is a better way to say thank you.

wine

Spring is coming

By Celia Strong

Faster than we can think, spring is plowing into us.

Truly a good thing, but we must make preparations.

That means new wines and a good supply of them — our wines this week should absolutely fit the bill. So, off we go to Italy, for two really lovely wines.

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that our white will be a Pinot Grigio and our red will be a Sangiovese. (These are two of Italy’s most popular grapes!) That makes it two weeks in a row that we’re doing a Pinot Grigio, but, as we discussed last week, where this grape is grown makes a big difference in the wine in the bottle. Ours this week comes from the Veneto area of northeastern Italy. I would imagine we all can see some difference right away in the growing conditions here over those that we had last week in Sonoma, California. Here, in the Veneto area, which is near Venice, the climate is warm, the soil is lean with some volcanic ash mixed in, and the wines tend to be light, body and color, crisp and acidic. Sometimes, they are so dry and crisp they come across in our mouths as almost spritzy. Of course, for warm weather, these wines are perfect.

The second grape this week is Sangiovese. This is a red variety whose name means “the blood of Jove” (also known as Jupiter, the head Roman deity). Obviously, with such a name to live up to, this grape must be something. It does come in two sizes, Sangiovese Grosso, also known as Brunello, and Sangiovese Piccolo. There are about 14 different clones of Sangiovese, most of which we’ll never see on a bottle label. And, along with Moscato and Trebbiano, it is one of the most widely planted varieties in Italy.

The history of Sangiovese is as confusing as its family tree. Despite repeated DNA studies of Sangiovese, Grosso and Piccolo, and all its clones, science can tell us which grapes are related to Sangiovese, but not which is the parent or which is the offspring. The first documented mention of it is from 1590, in writings of Giovanettorio Soderini. He called this grape “Sangiogheto” and said that in Tuscany it made good wines, but, if winemakers were not careful, they risked their wines turning into vinegar.

It was not until the 18th century that Sangiovese gained widespread attention throughout Tuscany.

In 1783, Cosimo Trinci described wines made from Sangiovese blended with other varieties as excellent.

Others also wrote about how good Sangiovese blended wines were. One of the early recipes for Chianti was a blend of Sangiovese and Cannaiolo. With time, each of the appellations of Tuscany (Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Carmignano, Morellino di Scansano, Brunello di Montacino, Rosso de Montalcino) and other regions, as well as what we now call “super Tuscans,” all determined their best clone to use and their best blend. Some, with the right soil and clone, did succeed in using just Sangiovese.

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

The high acidity and light body characteristics of Sangiovese are a challenge to winemakers. In addition to blending with other grapes, to enhance its strengths and fill in “holes” in its wines, modern techniques include vineyard pruning to make low yielding vines, longer macerations (grape juice soaking with the skins before fermenting starts), adjusting the temperature and length of time for the wine’s fermentation, and the use of oak, both in fermenting and aging. Since the 20th century, Bordeaux varieties, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, have been used for blending in many Italian wines with great success. Some of DOC/G laws have been adjusted to allow the Cabernet in, like up to 15 percent in Chianti. Apparently and lucky for us, commercial success can change centuries of tradition.

Today, Sangiovese is the most widely grown red variety in Italy. It is the officially recommended variety in 53 provinces and authorized for use in 13 more. About 10 percent of the country’s vineyards are Sangiovese vines, more than 250,000 acres. Besides Tuscany, Sangiovese is spread throughout central Italy — Umbria, Lazio and Marche, and beyond into Lombardia, EmiliaRomagna, Valpolicella and Campania and Sicily in the south. Sangiovese can makes wines from everyday drinking styles to premium wines with aging potential.

“We’re big believers in small business.”

Our wines this week are from Primaterra — a company, not really a winery. They work all over Italy, looking for and making wines for everyday enjoyment.

Each of their varietally named wines comes from a different part of Italy. And each wine is made to reflect the combination of the soil and climate of its origin and unique flavors of its grape variety.

It can make rosé wines, semi-frizzante (sparkling) wines and sweeter style wines.

And, now, thank goodness, it’s wine time. Ours this week come to us from Primaterra, Italian by design. By design says it all. Primaterra is a company, not really a winery. They work all over Italy, looking for and making wines for everyday enjoyment. Each of their varietally named wines comes from a different part of Italy. And, each wine is made to reflect the combination of the soil and climate of its origin and the unique flavors of its grape variety. Then, just for fun, each label is a really cute cartoon, for lack of a better word.

The Primaterra Pinot Grigio comes from the Venezie region, up near Venice. It is an IGT level wine, like so many others from that area. It is 100 percent Pinot Grigio. These grapes are grown in soil that is mixed clay and stones, at an elevation of 300 meters.

They are fermented in stainless steel, for 15 to 20 days.

The wine is well balanced, crisp and fresh. It has lively fruit flavors, that include apples, and floral notes. And, just so it’s not too puckery, it has a softer style finish.

Many of us have enjoyed this wine for a long time now.

The Primaterra Sangiovese comes from Sicily, also an IGT wine. This wine is also 100 percent its variety and is, actually, grown in soil similar to the Pinot Grigio — clay and rocks. The Sangiovese benefits from the warm growing climate in Sicily. These grapes are fermented in stainless steel, 70 percent, and oak barrels, 30 percent. It has the cherry aromas and flavors that are part of the signature of Sangiovese. It has some acidity, balanced in with a clean and gentle finish. There are some spice notes and slight hints of vanilla — Sangiovese soaks this out of its barrels.

As we go into warmer weather, both these wines should find a way into our glasses. Perfect for just sipping, but, also, well matched to all our warm weather meals. And, truthfully, just looking at these labels has to put you in a good mood. And so does their price.

Each of these wines is $10.99, artwork included. Enjoy.

To our way of thinking, there’s nothing small about small business.

Small business banking is one of our specialties. We’re big believers in small business. Small businesses are the nation’s largest employer. Our commercial lenders know the local economy. They take the time to learn about your business so they can deliver the kind of professional service that you want and need.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

The Idita — what?

By Tracie Korol

Gold rushes were a major part of Alaska history beginning in the 1880s.

Strikes near Juneau, the Klondike, Nome and Fairbanks helped define Alaska’s frontier character. The last fullscale, old-fashioned gold rush in the US roared into life in 1909 at Iditarod — the word means “distant place” in indigenous Alaskan dialects — 629 trail miles west of the future site of Anchorage and half way to Nome. By the next year, thanks to gold, Iditarod eclipsed Nome and Fairbanks to briefly become the largest city in Alaska with 10,000 inhabitants.

Steamboats served many gold districts in Alaska in the summer plying the many rivers lacing the Alaska interior.

But there was virtually no way to travel to any of these places when ice stopped the river and ocean traffic from October to May. By 1910, the need for yearround mail and freight service to the miners in western Alaska led the Federal government to survey and construct a winter trail from Seward to Nome for use by dog sled teams. Colloquially, it became known as The Iditarod.

Pound for pound, the sled dog is the most powerful draft animal on earth, and a team of 20 dogs averaging perhaps 75 pounds each can easily match a team of horses weighing more than twice as much. Dogs are also faster than horses over the long haul, capable of maintaining average speeds of 8 to 12 miles an hour for hundreds of miles (including rest stops), and can exceed 20 miles an hour

The Iditarod has steadily grown in popularity, and has become renowned worldwide for both the stamina it requires and the desolate beauty of the unforgiving terrain it covers. or more on shorter sprints. Even better, dogs can be fed from the land with moose, fish, or caribou in the winter, while horses or oxen require expensive (and heavy) hay or grain. Additionally, large draft animals cannot use the snowpacked winter trails.

The early mushers used a mixture of breeds, ranging from Native types such as the Malamute and Siberian husky to various domestic dogs imported from the Lower 48; some mushers even used wolves. Mostly, the teams hauled cargo on the three-week journey, but passengers were sometimes carried in long sleds. The dog teams also hauled out the season’s gold on the return trip to Knik. According to Ron Wendt in Hatcher Pass Gold, 2,600 pounds of gold arrived at Knik on December

10, 1911, hauled by four teams. In December of 1916, 3,400 pounds of gold came out behind 46 dogs.

The trail was used every winter through the World War I era and well into the 1920s, with parts of it being used as late as the 1940s. The inevitable end for the Iditarod and other long distance winter sled trails in Alaska, though, was the airplane.

But the sled dogs had one last taste of

glory. In the winter of 1925, an epidemic of diphtheria ravaged Nome, which lacked the medicine to combat it. The nearest supply of antitoxin serum was in Anchorage — nearly 700 frozen miles away. Fierce weather precluded the use of aircraft. In what has become known as the “Great Race of Mercy,” 20 mushers and some 150 dogs teamed up to deliver the drugs in under six days, quelling an epidemic that threatened to decimate the town. Balto, the lead dog on the final stretch of the relay, earned national acclaim — and a statue that still stands in New York City’s Central Park.

The emergence of air travel blunted the trail’s importance in subsequent decades. But in the 1960s, a Wasilla resident named Dorothy Page moved to memorialize its importance by staging a race during Alaska’s centennial celebrations in 1967.

Since 1983, the Iditarod has steadily grown in popularity, becoming both the most popular sporting event in Alaska and an international touchstone renowned for both the stamina it requires and the desolate beauty of the unforgiving terrain it covers.
