From the faces coming across the finish line, we think the answer to that question might be our youngest runners, probably before shin splints kick in (a personal guess).

The Beaufort Twilight Run and Festival is fast becoming a “thing” in the racing world. Nineteen states (from Minnesota to Massachusetts) in addition to Germany and Canada were on-hand to enjoy an almost perfect afternoon for running. There was truly something for everyone at this festival including competitive races with cash prizes, recreational runs and walks, kids events, live entertainment and plenty food to enjoy.

Who’s News

Sterling of Bluffton to run for Congress On March 16, Laura Sterling filed to become a candidate for the 6th Congressional District of the U.S. House of Representatives. Ms. Sterling grew up in Fairfax, SC. She is a married mother of two daughters and an entrepreneur. She currently resides in Bluffton, SC. "Our federal government is broken and I want to go to Washington to fix it," stated Sterling.

Sterling cited several reasons for her candidacy. She feels that the federal government is out of control,

administrative regulation is on the rise, as are taxes and wasteful spending.

"My intentions are to work very hard to earn the people's vote. As this is the people's seat, it does not belong to career politicians," said Sterling. "I will begin by listening to the people of the 6th District to better understand how I can serve them," said Sterling and also added, "in this year of change, I feel I can make a big difference in making people's lives better."

McClendon receives Daisy Award at BMH Beaufort Memorial Hospital fourth floor assistant department director Lisa Terwilliger didn’t think anything of it when she saw one of her nurses sitting in an elderly patient’s hospital room caressing his hand and talking softly to him.

The compassion Jana McClendon showed to the dying man wouldn’t have been so unusual, except she wasn’t the nurse assigned to care for him. But he had been her patient during his first few weeks in the hospital and she wanted him to feel someone was there for him in his final days.

“I saw her go through the ritual on numerous nights,” Terwilliger said. “Instead of going to the nurses’ station at the end of her shift to document reports, she would use the computer in his room so she could sit with him while she worked.”

A month later, Terwilliger watched McClendon take the same care with another hospice patient.

Earlier this month, McClendon was honored with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a

“It brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart to see the dignity and caring she showed these patients at the end of their lives,” said Terwilliger, who nominated McClendon for the prestigious nursing award. “You can’t teach that kind of compassion. It comes from within.”

“She’s warm and compassionate and believes in the human touch in caring for her patients.”

Parris Island unveils renovated Iwo Jima statue after renovations

The Recruit Training Regiment color guard raises the American flag during the unveiling ceremony. Photo by Sgt. Jennifer Schubert.

Parris Island officials unveiled the iconic Iwo Jima statue March 14, 2016, after renovations were recently completed. The renovations took more than 2,500 man hours and addressed issues on both the interior and exterior, extending the life of the statue by an estimated 20 years or more. The project was awarded in July 2015, and it cost over $450,000.

Attending the unveiling ceremony was Willy Bryan, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in April 1944 and who was actually on the Japanese island

when Joe Rosenthal snapped his iconic photograph.

"This monument means a lot to me," said Bryan. "It stands for the Marines of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Division who lost their lives there. Plus all of the Marines in the past and the Marines in the future part of this dedication."

Parris Island's statue was dedicated on its current site near the parade deck on Sept. 5, 1952, and is one of three 1/3-scale models of the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial located near

Arlington National Cemetery.

"For generations to come, when recruits hike back nine miles from Page Field to Peatross Parade Deck, they will have this monument as the place where they earned their Eagle, Globe and Anchor," said Col. Jason A. Beaudoin, the depot's assistant chief of staff for installation and logistics. "This monument is where men and women will earn something that cannot be given and for the first time they will hear their drill instructors call them a United States Marine."

Run

continued from page 1 for all ages and abilities and offers four competitive courses (10-mile Run, 8K Run, 5K Run, 1-mile Youth Run), a 5K Fun Walk and a 1/4 mile Kid’s Fun Run. After the races, the crowd stayed to relax and enjoy the gourmet food trucks and beautiful surroundings of Habersham.

The races benefit the Riverview Charter School who raised over $80,000 this year to subsidize such line items as professional development for their teachers, additional iPads and Apple TV systems in the middle school classrooms (which sync to the iPads of the teacher who puts it up on a big screen), and for scholarships for those needing additional funds to participate in field trips or for their supplies.

Riverview is an interesting school. It is the first charter school in Beaufort opened in 2009. It is a public school, and does not charge for admission nor have any admission requirements other than residing in Beaufort County.

At full capacity, it will serve 684 students in grades K-8. Their goal is “to create a small, diverse learning community that actively engages students in meaningful and innovative learning experiences. Emphasizing “learning by doing,” family and community involvement, and engaged citizenship, Riverview is committed to nurturing the whole child and preparing each student for a global society.”

So, who had the most fun? We’re betting everybody had a blast and are already planning for 2017!

Farbstein’s estate honors Beth Israel Congregation

By Angel Rose Tinnirello

Although Stanley B. Farbstein passed on two years ago, his legacy will live on for members of Beth Israel Congregation and the Jewish community in Beaufort.

Born in 1925, Farbstein joined Beth Israel during a pivotal moment in the community – more than a century after a Jewish community had formed in Beaufort, but just 20 years after the Congregation had been chartered and incorporated in 1905.

A resident of Beaufort and Charleston, Mr. Farbstein was a member of Beth Israel and served as a Board Member of the Congregation. As a Board Member of the Jewish Historical Society, he devoted himself to documenting the lives of those buried at Beth Israel Cemetery at 906 Bladen Street in Beaufort. He was also a member of B’nai B’rith (now known as BBYO) and on the Advisory Board for 4

the Yaschik/Arnold Studies Program at the College of Charleston.

Thanks to funding from the Stanley B. Farbstein Endowment, the Jewish Endowment Fund of Coastal Community Foundation granted more than $74,000 to organizations focused on Jewish history and culture in Beaufort and Charleston this year. The Endowment will contribute to the success of Beth Israel’s Congregation by covering insurance premiums for the historic Synagogue, the 19th Century Torahs (which were transported to America by Beth Israel founders) as well as the Rabbi’s lodging;

the island news | march 24-30, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

all of which make up more than 20 percent of the Congregation’s annual budget. The grant will also contribute to the fund for the Congregation’s Rabbi.

Mr. Farbstein’s dedication to the local Jewish community is also evident in another act of generosity. In addition to grant funding received from the Jewish Endowment Fund, Mr. Farbstein’s estate is tied to Beth Israel through a separate endowment created from his estate to fund repairs and capital improvements needed to maintain historic Beth Israel Synagogue, built in 1907.

Nearly 40 Congregation members

regularly volunteer their time with Beth Israel; however, this number does not fully speak to the culture that Beth Israel has developed within Beaufort. According to Dr. Charles H. Kresch, past president of Beth Israel, recently “a Bat Mitzvah and a Bar Mitzvah were held on the same weekend at Beth Israel Synagogue during which the 19th century Torahs were used. The young lady was the fifth generation of a founding Beth Israel member to celebrate Life Cycle events in the historic Synagogue. The young man was a recent immigrant from Israel who had moved to the area.”

Beth Israel has been the center of Jewish life in Beaufort County for over a century. The Stanley B. Farbstein Endowment now honors Beth Israel Congregation and celebrates the Jewish institutions which were so important to him during his lifetime.

What we hear when we need to hear it AWAKENINGS

By Martha O’Regan

Even when you don’t realize you are searching for answers to life’s tough questions, sometimes answers appear in strange yet magical ways and wake you up. I have come to believe we all have an opportunity to ‘awaken’ to our purpose on the planet, yet too often life is so busy and noisy that we either miss the signs or misinterpret the messages.

Back in the day, not too very long ago, when I believed that I was ‘in charge’ of my life and that if I wanted something done, I had to do it myself, I put expectations on someone who didn’t come through for me on ‘my’ time, ultimately slowing down ‘my’ progress. My immediate reaction was anger along with a few words about incompetency and ‘ruining everything’ I was working towards! It was on a Friday and there was nothing I could do to ‘fix’ it, so I went home to take out my frustrations by playing in the dirt and pulling a few weeds. After calming down, I went inside to check my business voicemail, a message had come in about the time of my ‘upset’ that ultimately woke me up and continues to direct my life today.

A very robust female voice repeated

‘Clean House, Help Others, Trust God’ three times then hung up. The first was as a statement, the 2nd with a ‘duh, don’t you get it’ tone to it, and the 3rd was with the most joyful laughter I could ever imagine at the time. There was no caller ID or info from *69. I listened to it several times but because I was living in my ‘’I make things happen’ mentality, I wrote it off as an advertisement of some sort. As I shared the story with friends, I was surprised that no one else had received the same message. As days went on, I began to contemplate the meaning of this strange communication, settling on the literal interpretation because at the time, we were trying to get our home on the market, I was beginning a professional organizing business as an adjunct to my muscle therapy business,

and seldom going to church…it made sense, I guess.

Fourteen years later, I continue to apply my ‘phone call from God’ to every aspect of my life including physical, spiritual, financial, political, environmental, emotional, and bio-chemical, continuing to find ways to simplify all areas (clean house), discovering ways to be in service (help others), trusting that there is a Divine plan unfolding (trust God), and realizing that I am not in charge after all….who knew?

Despite the great comfort and sometimes frustration in its simplicity, I have come to believe this message was not intended just for me but to be shared for others’ consideration. This timeless statement can be interpreted literally and/or figuratively depending

on your personal circumstances as you move towards slowing down, taking care of your mind and body, while discovering your higher purpose in life. I continue to hear it from many perspectives depending on what I am seeking to learn in the moment.

As a culture, it is apparent we are going through a time of ‘cleaning house’, some due to external circumstances beyond our control and some by conscious choice, either way, we’re discovering that it feels better to release the attachments and all the associated ‘gunk’ than the pressure of trying to ‘hold on’ to it. It also appears we are becoming more compassionate, seeking ways to support efforts to be of service to those under-served in our community and beyond, not just through money but ‘hands on’ labor of love. And, regardless of specific affiliations with a church community, there is a sense that more folks are seeking comfort in a ‘Higher Power’ to show them the way through both good and difficult times, uniting us more deeply.

So, it is with great joy that I share my ‘phone call from God’ with hope that it serves a purpose for someone else. Live Awake….Have Fun!

BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS

Beaufort High beats rival Bluffton High

By Jacob Dalton

Battery Creek High School's Michaux Gee, center, celebrates with teammates after Journeigh Doray's insidethe-park home run which score two runs in the bottom of the first inning against Bishop England.

Battery Creek pitcher Alexis Ortiz got the win with 10 strikeouts and only giving up three hits before the ten-run-rule was enacted in the BCHS' 11-1 victory of Bishop England. Ortiz also went two for three at bats with an RBI. Also of note, BCHS's Emily Crosby was 1 for 3 with two RBI's and Jessica Shipley also went 1 for 3 but scored twice.

8th Grader, Journeigh Doray put the ball in the outfield for a triple and an RBI. The power house designation of the day went to Journeigh Doray who also went 1 for 3 and one RBI. Her RBI was for herself when she scored on her inside-the-park home run. The Lady's Dolphins next game is Monday, March 28, against cross-town rival Beaufort High.

Park Plaza Cinema presents The Untold Story of Lyme On April 5th, Park Plaza Cinema presents "Under Our Skin", The Untold Story of Lyme Disease, in honor of the Park Plaza Cinema’s Operations Director, Vanessa Leite who is battling Stage 3 Lyme Disease.

Vanessa, a resident of Bluffton, was diagnosed in October 2015 after six grueling years of medical mystery and visits to over 30 specialists. Since starting with the cinema, Vanessa has met many people who are either suffering from Lyme Disease, had Lyme disease or have a loved one or friend impacted by this debilitating disease.

“People are truly unaware of the seriousness of Lyme Disease and we are seeing that now as we have grown 6

closer to Vanessa. In light of that, Larry and I would like to bring awareness to the Lowcountry by showing the documentary and bringing expert speakers to share their knowledge about this disease,” said Lucie Mann, Owner of Park Plaza Cinema.

The event will begin with a reception at 6:00 p.m. including food and wine provided by Whole Foods of Hilton Head and Burnin’ Down South in Okatie, along with many other health and wellness sponsors.

The documentary will begin at 7:00 p.m. followed

by Q&A with experts in the field and several Lyme Disease warriors. The event is $10 per ticket and open to the public.

the island news | march 24-30, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

One difficulty in diagnosing Lyme disease is the fact that its symptoms are very broad. They seem to mimic those of other diseases and they vary from patient to patient. This documentary investigates the epidemic we are now facing and traces its flourishing to a negligent and corrupt health care system. Interviews with patients and doctors paints a clear picture of a medical industry that has decided to place profits ahead of the health of the people it is supposed to be treating.

As space is limited, attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at the Park Plaza Cinema box office or online at www.mannparkplazacinema. com. Tickets are on sale now.

Courage required to ride out volatile markets As investors contend with the worst start to a year for the equity markets in recorded history, we focus on one of our favored principles of sound investing: Courage.

Winston Churchill once said, “Courage is rightly esteemed to be the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” Anything in life worth achieving requires consistent courage and fortitude. Investing is no different.

Today’s market news and challenges, while daunting and significant, pale in comparison to events of the past such as the Great Depression, two world wars, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis. Every generation faces challenges that often appear both unique and overwhelming at the time but when viewed through the sobering lens of history are judged to be neither (Exhibit 1).

Markets historically continue their inexorable climb. Why? Because in spite of our challenges and shortcomings, the human race is remarkably resilient and people are masterful inventors and innovators who always strive to create a better place for themselves and society at large. Financial markets have always reflected the improving human condition.

Fact: Corrections Happen Often Market corrections happen fairly often, even in good years.1 • From 1981 to 2015 the S&P 500 Index experienced at least a 5% intra-year decline every year but one (1995).

• The average annual correction over the past 34 years has been 14.1%!

• In spite of these declines, equities posted positive total returns in 29 of the last 35 years, with an annualized return of more than 11%.

As Exhibit 2 illustrates, volatility does not equal loss, unless of course you sell.

History shows it doesn’t take very long for market corrections (declines of greater than 10% but less than 20%) to reverse and return to prior peaks. The mean time to market recovery has only been 107 days,2 or shorter than the National Football League season, which always seems to go by way too fast (Exhibit 3).

While true bear markets (declines of greater than 20%) do take longer to recover, it should still be of little consequence to long-term investors. A $10,000 investment made 50 years ago, on January 1, 1966, would be worth over $2.2 million today, even with all the corrections and bear markets of the last half-century.

In the words of the Greek philosopher Plato,“Courage is knowing what not to fear.”

It remains sound advice for investors, who should have the courage to know not to fear market swings.

Local ladies (and gentlemen) celebrate St. Patrick's Day at Creative Interiors Carpet One

By Molly Ingram

Last Thursday may have been St. Patrick's Day but it was also Island Girls Night Out at Creative Interiors Carpet One and what a night it was!

Besides being totally distracted by the huge amount of really cool tile, area rugs and wall-to-wall carpet with serious pet protection that comes with a warranty (where was this when I needed it???)

I had never been to this store before since I am renting down here at the moment and that was a big mistake. They have everything you could ever dream of. Do yourself a favor and stop in just to see what is inside what looks like a small building which turns out to be 3 times bigger than what I thought it was!

voices LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Author Pat Conroy, right, was taking a break from signing books to watch the Water Festival Parade along Bay Street in 2011.

Close encounters with Conroy

For many years I worked at publications in Beaufort, and my job as editor of The Island News afforded me the opportunity to write about events that author Pat Conroy attended and to admire him and his literary talents from a close distance.

The news of his passing earlier this month saddened legions of fans across the nation who felt connected to this talented writer through his passionate prose and gift for storytelling. And as a Beaufortonian who experienced firsthand his role as a champion for the Lowcountry and our beautiful little town, I felt an intense sorrow too. But I recalled my encounters with him with sweet fondness.

My first memory of meeting Pat Conroy involved me covering a parade in downtown Beaufort for the paper. I was taking pictures of floats and families, and as I passed the locally owned McIntosh Book Store on Bay Street, I noticed a table set up outside. Conroy and fellow local author John Warley were signing books for enthusiastic passersby.

I lingered around, looking for a chance to take a photo, but Conroy got up to watch the parade. He was talking to the owner of the bookstore, and I debated whether to say something (and not sound like an idiot) and finally gathered the courage to introduce myself. He was friendly and personable and I still remember trying to contain that giddy feeling inside that was screaming: “PAT CONROY IS TALKING TO ME! HE EVEN READS OUR PAPER! DON’T FREAK OUT. JUST BE COOL!! THIS IS SO COOL!” I asked to take a picture for the paper, and he willingly agreed and was pleasant. While this might sound like the anecdote of a star-struck young journalist — which, admittedly, it is — I would like to think of it as a testament to his character as someone who, despite his worldwide fame, was generous with his time and had a kindness and sense of humor that made him beloved by those who were fortunate enough to meet him, however brief.

While the contributions Pat Conroy provided to Beaufort — from supporting local artists to helping preserve the area’s natural environment — deserve recognition, my second story may pale in comparison to his lasting accomplishments, but it is intended only for comic relief.

Every week at The Island News, the staff would have lunch at a local eatery and then I would write about it in a 16

column called "Lunch Bunch." Among the many awesome restaurants in Beaufort, Griffin Market stands alone for its authentic northern Italian cuisine and an exceptional dining experience. It was well known that this was one of Pat Conroy’s favorite restaurants in town.

He even wrote a lengthy article about it in another local publication; of course it was amazingly crafted and, really, what more publicity could a small business ask for than to have Pat Conroy not only vouch for, but heartily endorse, your restaurant?

Not long after his article ran, the Lunch Bunch was invited to dine at Griffin Market. As the person writing the review, I felt pressure for two reasons: One, to try to accurately describe how seriously delicious and memorable the food is within a short amount of space.

And two, because pretty much the only other person who had written about that restaurant was Pat Conroy.

The absurdity of this is not lost on me.

As if this pressure as a novice writer wasn’t enough, on the day we ate there, at a large table nearby sat Pat Conroy with a group of family and friends.

It was a humorous predicament to be in: Small town newspaper editor and young mom (yes, I brought my 8-month-old daughter with me to this intimate, upscale restaurant) versus this best-selling author and iconic figure of the literary world. I have no illusions about comparing my article to his, but I still laugh when I think of the whole situation.

After hearing similar stories from friends and colleagues documenting memorable interactions with Pat Conroy, I hope the fact he was the source of so many treasured tales would make this master storyteller smile too.

Is the sky really falling?

In preparation for the development of The Village at Oyster Bluff the property was clear cut of timber, Walmart, Harris Teeter, probably a Taco Bell and other similar businesses are coming to Lady’s Island. Each of these will involve site preparation and to varying degrees the removal of trees and will impact traffic. All of these projects are signs that growth, both commercial and residential, is returning to Lady’s Island and the Beaufort area. Is life, as we who live on Lady’s Island presently enjoy it, doomed to extinction by this growth?

Before delivering a eulogy for our community perhaps we should pause and look at where we have been and what has been done in preparation for this and future growth. For example, the present zoning for Lady’s Island was specifically designed for the island by the Community Preservation Committee and became law in 1999. Over the next 15 years that zoning guided the construction of 1,511 new homes and the arrival of almost 4,000 new residents to the island. Lady’s Island was the fastest growing residential area in northern Beaufort County. However, it was not the fastest growing commercial area due to sky rocketing prices of commercial property in the Village Center.

the island news | march 24-30, 2016 | www.yourislandnews.com

Today, zoning wise, the 14,000 acres of Lady’s Island is divided into 4 primary areas- 28% (4000 acres) is Community Preservation or residential (2 units per acre), 14% (2000 acres) is designated for existing Planned Unit Developments, 46% (6,500 acres) is Rural which allows one unit per 3 acres, 3% (451 acres) is commercial and 5% (over 700 acres) is under some form of conservation easement denying or limiting development. This zoning will allow growth but even with the fastest rate of growth ever experienced on Lady’s Island it would take over 20 years for the island to reach anywhere near its capacity. Simply stated, the basic zoning that has been in place since 1999 has stood the test of intense residential growth. Can it be improved – certainly and should be in response to identified problem areas such as posed by the clear cutting of the Village of Oyster Bluff and the new Walmart site with its 20,000 truckloads of fill dirt. But the basic zoning of Lady’s Island has proven to be tested and valid.

The arrival of businesses such as Walmart and Harris Teeter on Lady’s Island is going to happen and with their arrival, regretfully, we will lose some forest and natural wildlife habitat.

Walmart, Harris Teeter and other similar national commercial businesses are going to continue to be attracted to Lady’s Island by the 13,000 homes, with an average household income of $71,882, located within a 5 mile range of the commercial portion of the island. As a result of these and similar demographics new businesses are going to seek to establish a presence on Lady’s Island. In most cases they will be allowed to do so, not because of incompetence on the part of planners or a lack of moral fiber on the part of elected officials, but rather for the simple fact that, as a general rule, we do not attempt to pick and choose which type of businesses may be established in the commercially designated portion of Lady’s Island. However, we can establish better and more enforceable rules and regulations for such things as to what these new businesses will look like (design and style), where they can be located in regard to the road and amount of allowable impact on existing roads and the environment.

With this new interest in Lady’s Island by national retailers and developers we (county and City of Beaufort) are going to have to revisit the manner in which we authorize and permit the construction of their buildings and developments. As H. G. Wells said “Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.” What we have today that we did not have in the past is the fact that, thanks to the Northern Regional Plan, we no longer suffer from the annexation wars and the county and municipalities do work together on matters such as saving our natural assets while still allowing growth. In the effort to save and protect those qualities that make our community special we will lose battles (Walmart) which will require modification of existing ordinances to preclude future similar losses. But with the most tested zoning and regulations of any general area in northern

Beaufort County, elected officials who communicate and work with each other, a municipality that will work with us and a community that strongly supports saving those qualities that make Lady’s Island special it is entirely too early to have discussions as to having reached the end of life, as we presently enjoy it, on Lady’s Island. The sky is not really falling but growth is returning and we do have to adapt to the new challenges which this growth brings with it.

Jim Hicks Chairman Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee

What's in a name?

Whether it is called a Recycling Center or lovingly called the “Garbage Dump” it is what I found to be for me, and many others who visit this Lady’s Island location, a treasure.

Particularly for two ladies named GaGa and Snooks. They look forward to going there on the days when they go shopping.

When they get phone calls from people they know, they are asked “What’s going on in Beaufort?” They reply, “The most exciting thing going on is we’re going to the garbage dump where people of all colors and races talk to one another, exchanging coupons and recipes, and generally have a nice time together.”

The workers make sure that we go to the right bins for disposal. And we want to applaud these hard working, underappreciated, county workers and let it be known that all good work should be respected and appreciated. And that GaGa and Snooks are not these ladies real names, but as they are serenaded by the music of jazz musicians playing among the discarded, the masquerade is over for GaGa and Snooks after these wonderful workers read this letter.

A Beaufort family marks a milestone

By Bill Rauch

The patriarch and matriarch of one of Beaufort’s foremost families just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Osvaldo and Noris Mujica came to Beaufort in 1962 with their three children, Ozzie, Omar and Lizette, and the Mujica family now 33 strong has flourished here since. A fourth child, Otto, was born here.

Theirs is a great American story.

The Mujicas came to the US on one of the last planes out of Cuba before the Cuban Missile Crisis shut down flights to the US. Osvaldo had been running Sumner Pingree Jr.’s ’s 65,000 acre cattle ranch, Hacienda San Andres, since as a U.S. citizen Pingree had been forced to leave Cuba by the rise to power of the revolutionary Fidel Castro in 1959.

These were desperate times. As the Castro government, the communists, consolidated power in the 1959-62 period they nationalized more and more of the Pingree family’s ranch.

In its day Hacienda San Andres was the chief rival of Texas’ King Ranch as the world’s top cattle ranch.

Osvaldo Mujica, assigned by Pingree to run the ranch in his absence and the family’s adjacent 20,000 acre sugarproducing operation too, watched helplessly as the government pieceby-piece took over the majestic place.

Yet he was clearly so inventive and so competent at running its operations that Castro ordered him to prepare to come to Havana and run all Cuba’s nationalized cattle operations. It was then in 1962, with the red handwriting indelibly on the wall, and after secret conversations with and firm assurances from Pingree, Osvaldo and Noris Mujica secreted their family out of Cuba to the US. With them were just the clothes they could fit into a couple of suitcases.

Exotically good-looking, smart and fun-loving – and with a brilliant and discreet father, and a doting mother -- the Mujica children were popular from the moment they stepped out of the station wagon in Beaufort. Grown up and parents (and grandparents and great-grandparents!) themselves now,

each of Osvaldo and Noris’ four children has achieved success in their own ways.

Ozzie and Omar each ran automotive businesses here for many years. Lizette was a Spanish professor at the University of South Carolina until she came home to Beaufort two years ago, and Otto is All State Insurance’s catastrophe specialist for the Southeast US. Sumner Pingree, a leading Beaufort philanthropist, lived for many years at his Bray’s Island Plantation in Sheldon.

In those days Osvaldo and Sumner were like brothers. More than a plantation manager, Osvaldo functioned more like a chief of staff or consigliere for Pingree who was biding his time raising cattle and hogs in Sheldon, and shooting and fishing around the world, while he awaited the opportunity to return to Cuba and reclaim his rights to Hacienda San Andres. It was an opportunity that never came to him.

Sumner Pingree, Jr. died quietly at his home on Bray’s Island, a few days before last Christmas. He was 88.

Osvaldo had been with him in Cuba, at Huspah Plantation, at Bray’s Island while Bray’s was operated as a familyowned farm, and at Bray’s in the years after 1988 when Sumner transitioned the plantation to the outdoors-oriented community it is today.

Now, with the gradual re-opening of

Cuba to US citizens, in the upcoming years there will be opportunities for those who left in the 1959-62 period to revisit Cuba. Some Mujicas may take the opportunity to visit as tourists, but

probably not Osvaldo and Noris. “South Carolina is our home,” Osvaldo says.

“People ask me what I would change about my life … and I say nothing … I’ve had a wonderful life."

It's time to enjoy the colors of spring

By Lee Scott

There is a strange transition taking place in my clothes closet right now. It happens each year. I discover that my black slacks and navy tops have migrated to the back of the closet and have been replaced with white pants and pastel colored capris. It always starts as a subtle change. I open up my closet and instead of my dark blue and brown dresses worn during the past few months, I begin to see the yellow, pink and green cotton dresses ready to be brought out. The winter clothes are somehow forgotten and the wool sweaters worn during January and February which were so important then are packed away as the cotton sweaters suddenly appear. Who knows what happened to my gloves that

Now what?

were only used a couple of times over the winter? My leather boots are lost in the back of the closet as the open toe shoes and sandals miraculously appear. It is actually fun to discover some summer clothes sitting in shopping bags, undoubtedly purchased at some yearend sale. Of course, to make room, I am required to give away the outfits that I

have not worn in years. Even my husband starts rummaging around looking for short pants as the thermometer moves up. And the LL Bean fleece jackets he wears in the winter have disappeared.

This closet transition typically co-insides with the spring equinox which comes on March 20th. The equinox coupled with the daylight savings time change means

that we get more of that South Carolina sun in the evening to warm us up and as we shed our coats and uncover our pale winter skin we put away our long sleeved shirts and put on our t-shirts. Even the straw hats hanging on hooks all winter are coming out of the closet as I am reminded of the strong southern sun.

Then of course, Easter time brings its own colors and the decorated eggs seem to reflect the colors of the clothes that are coming out of my closet. Light green shirts and pastel blue slacks are not just for golfers now. Even the grass in our yard is shedding its winter browns and coming up a nice colorful green. So go ahead ladies, take out those Lily dresses. Men, put on those pastel colored slacks. Spring is here. Enjoy all those colors.

When is a bottle of wine like poker game?

By Celia Strong It's not often we talk about a bottle of wine and a poker game in the same conversation. It's not even like talking about one segues into the other. But, with our usual good luck, today we get to do just that. Hopefully, we won't be playing poker while we do our lesson. Unless, of course, you must? Personally, I love our lessons, and I don't like playing poker at all. It hurts too much when I lose. Besides, my luck runs with our wines. Not in any cards I've ever played. But, so as not to waste any time, we need to move on. We have multiple mini-lessons to cover. Multiple is good. We'll learn a lot.

Mini is great. We can speed along and get to tasting sooner.

Let's start with a review of the term "claret."

Years ago, this term referred to the red wines from Bordeaux. Especially in England. Years ago, like 300 or so, these red wines were not as dark a

S e rv i n g

the

shade of red as they are now. They were, more accurately, "claret" colored.

Because this name referred to Bordeaux wines, it makes sense that it still is used when discussing wines made from the same five grape varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Today, there are many California wineries that make red blends, using some combination of these grapes.

Sometimes all five. Sometimes just two, or three, or four. All in their own chosen percentages. In previous lessons, we have enjoyed several of them.

One of these grapes, I don't think we've ever really looked at. Petit Verdot.

Definitely one of the lesser known grapes around.

It was grown in the Bordeaux region of France before Cabernet Sauvignon was even thought of. Its name means "small green."

A reference, probably, to the fact that it ripens late.

Which means it stays green longer on its vines. When Petit Verdot does ripen, it brings stout tannins, deep

purple color and concentrated fruit flavors to wines. That means, outside of Bordeaux which is a relatively cool growing region, this grape has a chance to do more than it is known for. Argentina has some Petit Verdot wines that are 100% this variety and are huge, intense wines. With all the blends from California, that state has about 1,000 acres of it planted. Petit Verdot's aromas include dark fruits mixed with cedar, smoke, vanilla and spice. Its flavors are dense dark fruits like blackberry, blueberry, black cherry and black plum. On its own, the wines are dark, heavy and rich. In blends, even when diluted by other varieties, you can imagine what Petit Verdot can do.

Murphy-Goode is our winery this week. This is a family owned and operated winery, being passed down to younger generations. It was started in 1985, by Tim Murphy, Dave Goode and Dave Ready. While they played a game of Liar's Dice. See, the games? With the wine? (Actually, one of their red blends is

Since

1998

called "Liar's Dice - a Zin based blend.)

Over the years, since their first wine, more and more have been added. Especially red blends made with the Bordeaux varieties. And, like their parents, the younger generation mixes their wine making their fun. David Ready, Jr is the winemaker now. Work in the winery and the vineyards ends the day at tables under trees or in sheds playing cards and drinking their wines. What card game.

'All In" poker. (I looked this term up and it means you play all the money or chips you have on the table. It's also known as "table stakes.") All In, though, is the name of their newest red blend wine. Claret.

The current vintage has an Alexander Valley AVA and it is 42% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Merlot gives dark cherry aromas and flavors. The Cabernet brings blackberry and thyme notes to this wine. The Petit Verdot gives it richness and depth. And a hint of anise. Truly, a huge percentage of Petit Verdot in the world of California blends.

The blend is aged for 14 months in oak barrels. French and American; old and new. A big, robust wine that will pair well with meat. Beef, of course, but lamb and game, too. It pairs well, too, with friends and family. And good times. They said so at Murphy-Goode. So All In it is. At least in my glass. For $16.99. Enjoy.

Does your dog have what it takes to be a therapy dog?

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

Therapy dogs are really wonderful.

These dogs, when certified, visit both the young and old in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation facilities, and just about any place you can find a patient of some sort.

And research shows, a dog can make a difference for them.

I am not a therapy dog. I’m not good at staying in one place if there is food somewhere within 200 yards. But I know some therapy dogs and the difference they can make to an individual is truly amazing and enviable. A dog is non-judgmental.

They don’t know what awful things have happened to you to get you in this place.
