Beaufort hosts presentation on open meetings, FOIA laws Members of Beaufort’s various boards, committees and commissions learned the ins and outs of South Carolina’s open meetings law and the Freedom of Information Act during a presentation last Wednesday, March 19 at City Hall.

Bill Taylor, field services manager for the Municipal Association of South Carolina, led the meeting. His experience includes more than 33 years of local government work throughout South Carolina, including serving as the town manager in Cheraw, community development and assistant city administrator in Lancaster, and economic development director for the Upper Savannah Council of Governments.

Wednesday’s discussion came after

there appeared to be some confusion about what constituted an “open meeting” during a city-appointed board meeting this winter.

“We quickly realized we hadn’t done as much as we probably should have about informing these volunteer committee and commission members about how to conduct a meeting, what the rules are, and how to be sure we are always in compliance with the law,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.

“Through our relationship with the Municipal Association of South Carolina, we worked out this briefing,” he said. “We strongly urged all members of our city-appointed boards, committees and commissions to attend and participate, and City Council

members were invited too.”

In addition to his three decades of public sector work, Taylor has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Clemson University and a Master’s in public administration from the University of Georgia.

The presentation included: • What types of meetings are covered under South Carolina’s laws • How to conduct a meeting and what types of minutes, agenda and prior notice are required • Conflicts of interest • Freedom of Information Act details including executive sessions, what documents are considered public and how to respond to FOIA requests.

About 20 people attended the workshop last Wednesday afternoon.

Firefighters contain blaze on St. Helena The Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District was called to the report of a residential fire in the Warsaw Island Road neighborhood of St. Helena Island on Sunday, March 23 just after 11:30 p.m.

First arriving fire personnel found a large elevated home with heavy fire extending through the roof. Initial signs, and a report from a neighbor, were that no one was in the home at the time and firefighters were able to quickly confirm that via phone with the owner who was not in town at the time.

Firefighters fought steady winds that fed the flames as they worked tirelessly to first contain the fire and then to extinguish it. The fire was brought under control in about 30 minutes and firefighters remained on scene for a few more hours as they salvaged what they could of the family’s belongings and investigated its cause.

Warsaw Island Road was shut down for the duration of the operation as the fire hydrant that supplied the firefighters with water was some distance down from the home at which

they were operating.

Thankfully, there were no injuries immediately reported from anyone involved as some 25 firefighters, medical personnel from Beaufort County EMS, and law enforcement officials from the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, worked together to minimize the fire’s impact to all involved.

The cause of the fire is pending and the Palmetto Chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the family who was unable to return to the home as it had extensive fire damage.

The 18-year-old St. Helena Island man wanted in connection with a recent shooting incident at a Beaufort club has been arrested.

Jaquan Lamont Chaplin, wanted on one count of second degree Assault & Battery by Mob, was arrested early Monday, March 24 when he turned himself in to investigators.

According to witnesses, at approximately 12:30 a.m. on March 9, Chaplin, along with several other suspects, surrounded a vehicle during a conflict with the vehicle’s three occupants.

As the suspects attempted to pull the occupants out of the vehicle, one of the occupants, a 19-year-old male, was shot multiple times by one of the suspects, 21-year-old Russell Trent Manigo, Jr. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries for which he remains hospitalized.

Another of the identified suspects, 18-year-old Ernest Major, III, was arrested on March 18, also on one count of Assault and Battery by Mob 2nd degree. At this time, Russell Manigo, Jr remains at large.

He is wanted on three counts of Attempted Murder and one count of Possession of

Don’t let spring weather melt away safe driving habits

By State Farm™

The snow and ice may be gone for much of the country, but it’s important for drivers to stay “street smart” this spring. Spring showers may bring dangerous driving conditions along with the flowers.

In fact, wet roads can be just as slippery as ice-covered roads. Compounding matters, rainy weather can also affect driver visibility. As drivers hit the road this spring, here are a few tips to help ensure a safe journey to your destination: Do not use cruise control during heavy rains or hail. Cruise control during low traction wet conditions could lead to hydroplaning or loss of vehicle control.

Using the cruise feature also allows you to move your feet away from the pedals, and disengaging the cruise control may take crucial seconds during an emergency situation.

Replace worn tires. Your tires are what keep your car on the road. Worn out treads provide less traction. Also, make sure tires are inflated properly according to your vehicle owner’s manual.

Replace worn wiper blades. Poorly maintained windshield wipers can hamper visibility in poor weather.

Clean windows. After a long winter salt and other road residue can build up on your windows. Wiper effectiveness and visibility can be greatly enhanced by just cleaning the glass and removing the residue. Cleaning the inside of the glass can also increase visibility and help the defroster clear you windows faster by reducing moisture buildup.

Check all lighting. Rain itself can also impact visibility so check all vehicle lighting including headlights, taillights, back-up lights, turn signals, parking lights and brake lights. These lights are important because they help you and other motorists to see each other in times of limited visibility.

Hospital adds two physicians to new OB/GYN practice Drs. Christopher Benson and Gregory Miller, longtime partners in an OB/GYN practice in Rock Hill, S.C., have joined the new Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists.

The two doctors are teaming up with two other OB/GYNs to launch the Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners’ practice located in Suite 210 of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road.

Dr. Berniece Redmond, a North Carolina physician with 17 years’ experience, was the first OB-GYN to come on board. She began seeing patients in mid-February. Benson and Miller will join her April 1, and Dr. Claude Tolbert, chief of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health, will begin May 1.

All four physicians are boardcertified and will be delivering babies at the Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

The practice is currently accepting new patients, and Drs. Benson and Miller are scheduling 15-minute oneon-one “meet & greet” appointments for expectant mothers and other women who are interested in becoming patients of the practice.

There is no charge for the “meet & greet” appointments. Call 843-5227820 for information or to schedule an appointment.

Like Redmond, Benson has been in private practice for 17 years. Earlier, he served as an obstetrics hospitalist physician at Trident Medical Center

in Charleston and was a member of the medical staff at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill. He is a former president of the Carolina Dr. Christoper South OB/GYN Society.

Benson In addition to performing more than 100 procedures using the da Vinci robotic surgery system, he is experienced in single-site laparoscopic surgeries.

A certified acupuncturist, he has a strong interest in fitness, weight-loss and complementary disciplines.

Benson attended Georgetown University School of Medicine on a military scholarship and completed his residency at William Beaumont Army Medical Center following a deployment to Iraq as squadron surgeon.

In his off hours, the father of three enjoys training for endurance events.

He has competed in six marathons, three Iron Man and four Half Iron Man competitions as well as numerous multiday adventure races and triathlons.

Dr. Miller brings over 22 years of OB/GYN experience to Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists. After attending the Medical College of Virginia on academic and military scholarships, Miller completed his internship and residency at the University of Florida and served three years at the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune in North

Carolina.

He was on staff at Piedmont Medical Center, and both he and Benson are former chairmen of the Department of Obstetrics and Dr. Gregory Gynecology there.

Miller Most recently, Miller served on the hospital’s executive committee and as physician team leader and liaison for electronic medical records implementation. He also was a member of South Carolina Governor’s Medical Advisory Panel.

Miller has extensive experience in minimally invasive surgical techniques, including da Vinci robot-assisted procedures and single-site laparoscopic surgery. He is certified as a Neonatal Resuscitation Program provider and has received the People’s Choice award multiple times, most recently in 2013.

A lifelong athlete, Miller played competitive professional tennis in Europe after college and continues to play competitively and coach his two sons. The father of four has also teamed up with Benson on numerous adventure races and Ironman competitions over the last 15 years and makes wellness, fitness, and weight management counseling a cornerstone of his medical practice.

Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

To make an appointment, call 843522-7820.

Twins named March for Babies Ambassadors Nathan and Rebecca Jensen and their twins, Asher and Charlotte, are serving as Beaufort County’s 2014 March for Babies Ambassador Family to help raise awareness about the lifesaving work of the March of Dimes.

The Jensens know firsthand what it can mean if a baby is born too soon. Their twins Asher Wyatt and Charlotte Rose were born 12 weeks early, each weighing less than 3 pounds. “No parent should have to experience the heartwrenching journey that happens when a baby is born prematurely,” said Rebecca.

“That’s why we’re honored to have this opportunity to help the March of Dimes continue their work so more parents can know the joys of a healthy baby.”

Asher and Charlotte were delivered on October 18, 2012. Their scheduled due date was January 8, 2013.

Charlotte and Asher Jensen were born 12 weeks early.

Asher weighed 2.9 pounds, and little Charlotte weighed just 2.4 pounds. The Jensens describe the next 73 days as the most frightening, sad, joyous and inspirational days of their lives. “The immediate days following their birth were the hardest, the days I care not to think about,” said Rebecca. “We were on our knees praying in our room at the Ronald McDonald house every day.”

Charlotte and Asher were placed on life support immediately because of their underdeveloped lungs.

Asher was taken off the following day, but Charlotte stayed on life support for 10 days with serious lung and heart complications. The family was told to prepare for the worst. After many interventions, Charlotte was finally taken off life support and started on supplemental oxygen. After 63 days in the NICU, Asher was finally able to come home. Ten days later, Charlotte was released, and it was now the complete family of four, finally together, at home.

“To have both Nathan and I sitting on the couch, each holding a living, breathing baby was the most gratifying feeling after all we had just been through,“ remembers Rebecca.

Premature birth touches

half a million babies and their families every year in the United States, including nearly 9,000 babies in South Carolina each year. Babies born too soon struggle to survive and may have lifelong health consequences.

Beaufort March for Babies will take place on April 12 at 9 a.m. at Naval Heritage Park. Funds raised for March for Babies help support community programs and vital research into the causes and preventions of premature birth. March for Babies is the March of Dimes’ largest fundraising event.

The Jensen family invites all of Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties to register for the event at marchforbabies.org or by calling 843-571-1776.

Participants can sign up as individual walkers, start a corporate or family team, or make a donation.

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

Her heart belongs to Tabby

Jessica Weiss has devoted her life to helping Beaufort’s unloved cats

By Lanier Laney California native Jessica Weiss is the director of operations at the Beaufort County Tabby House, located in the corner of Beaufort Town Center next to the Beaufort Book Store. If you go by there you can look in the window and see the “show” — 40 happy, well cared for cats walking around the floor of the building waiting to be adopted.

Says Jess, “We have an open floor cat adoption facility. This means cages are only used for medical isolation. Our cats roam free, like being in a home, everything is there for them.”

Jess handles day-to-day operations of the Tabby House adoption center. This includes a myriad of jobs from administrative duties to managing the Facebook page with volunteer help; keeping in constant contact with the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and many vets; assessing new cats to be brought in for adoption; overseeing all medical care of cats in their care (under vet instruction); establishing healthy protocols for the cats; and a lot of networking with local businesses, animal care facilities and other rescue groups. Not to mention being in charge of fundraising, too.

Says Jess, “No matter how long my days are, I go to bed happy and proud of the furry lives I helped that day. I know I can’t save them all but I can look back and be proud of the ones I did. This is the most satisfying, rewarding and emotional job I’ve ever had.”

Jessica has been taking care of special needs animals for the last few years through the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and with their help and assistance she’s fostered almost 200 since 2012, before Tabby House opened. Many of these cats were injured or born with issues, feral, abused, or too young to survive on their own. Says Jess, “My passion lies with cats and kittens that need extra assistance to get on with their lives. These include one-eyed cats (which I’ve had five), one no-eyed kitten who acts as if he can see, days old bottle fed, three-legged cats, cats in casts, ones with heart murmurs, cats that require subcutaneous fluids and medicine multiple times a day, postop recovery, and feral kittens who just need the “hiss kissed out of them” to become wonderful companions.”

Jessica’s love of animals came early. She admits, “I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have pets. My mother worked for a vet when I was in high school and I grew up with amazing animal stories. The things animals have endured and not only lived through but thrived afterwards has always been amazing to me. I’ve learned many things from animals in my life, they still teach me daily, and their unconditional love and desire to be loved makes my life worthwhile.”

As busy as she is with her animals, she also makes time to be a loving mother. She has four great children: Zach Weiss and Megen Charboneau, who both attend Lady’s Island Middle School, and her eldest, Gene Weiss, who is a Marine, and eldest daughter Ashley Charboneau is her right hand at Tabby House and will be heading into the Army.

Jess came to Beaufort originally with her first 6

Jessica Weiss with Patches, her one-eyed cat.

about the tabby house

If you would like to visit and adopt a wonderful cat, Tabby House is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. At Tabby House they also sell T-shirts as well as artwork and crafts made by local artisans. Please call 843-255-5030 or 843-255-5031.

People can donate directly at Tabby House or ask their personal vet if they take donations. Another option is going to the Low Country Community Foundation’s website and clicking on Tabby House, those donations go into a fund to pay the building bills (rent, water, electrical). Money donated directly at Tabby House goes for food, littler, and medical needs.

Or you can mail donations to Tabby House, Suite 13, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902.

They are always in need of volunteers. They currently need people who can help on Sundays, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Facebook it’s “Tabby House” under places At Tabby House they fully support the TNR (trapneuter-return) program here in Beaufort County and will take information to pass along to local trapping groups. Although Tabby House cannot take your cat(s) directly (and they ask that you please not leave cats in front of the building) they will do everything possible to arrange to get your feline taken care of. Just call and leave a message, or ask them on Facebook. Tabby House reminds you to please microchip your cats, even if they are intended to be inside, as they do sneak out and can get lost. Please call Beaufort County Animal Shelter Office at 843-255-5010 about getting your cat chipped at a great price, it only takes a few minutes and there is no down time for your pet(s).

husband, who was in the military. After they were divorced, she met her new husband, George Weiss, through a mutual friend online.

Says Jess, “After a year of communicating electronically, we finally met in person and haven’t been apart since. We just celebrated our seventh happy year of marriage.” George is an engineer

under government contract at the air station.

Jessica loves Beaufort because of the history of the area and the big-hearted people here.

Says Jess, “ The history that permeates this area is amazing. There isn’t any place that doesn’t have a story, or two. And there are wonderful people here that will take the time to tell you everything you want to know, even where some of the skeletons are buried. Most recently I’ve been amazed by the community spirit and outpouring when someone is in need.”

What’s her philosophy behind her work at Tabby House? “You get what you give,” she says. “ This not only applies to the cats I work with but also to all the volunteers who make Tabby House work. I don’t like to be called the boss, I won’t ask anyone to do anything that I haven’t or won’t do myself. Listening to people and observing the cats and doing what is best for everyone is how I try to work.”

She adds, “I’m thankful for the existence of Tabby House, which would never have happened without so many wonderful people advocating and donating. And the families that have opened their hearts and homes to the nearly 300 cats that have been adopted from here since Tabby House opened its doors 15 months ago, they are extremely important to us!”

She encourages everyone to visit the Tabby House Facebook page. “Pictures say so much more than words. You can see these on The Tabby House Facebook page. Every cat has their story and some are heartbreaking while still inspiring.

The most impacting ones have been those that I lost but I know they had the best few months of their lives and I take comfort in knowing I did everything I could for them.”

The ongoing success of Tabby House is dependent totally on donations and volunteer help. Jess says, “Right now, Tabby House is looking for help with a couple of large projects that we are in serious need of completing. We need to raise more than $2,000 to have a washer and dryer hook up installed in our building (we already have the washer and dryer) and we need a 6x12 or 10x10 storage shed as we have no room to store extra supplies on site. We are open to suggestions from the community and ask that if anyone knows of local businesses that participate in community giveback programs or outreach, please let use know via Facebook messaging. It is only with the help and support of you that we can continue to find loving homes for these fabulous loving felines.”

As for the future, her dream is to create a feline “Safe Haven.”

Says Jess, “I have this dream where unwanted feral cats can have a home and where cats with disabilities will be safe and spoiled, as well as a special building just for FIV/FIP positive cats to live out their natural lives. This will be a multilayered facility and I’m already connecting with like-minded people on the eastern seaboard who want to do the same in their states. This won’t be any time soon, but it will happen. If you are interested in helping that dream grow and become a reality, please contact me.”

lowcountry social diary Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.

Lafayette Soiree ‘April in Paris’ next weekend!

By Lanier Laney

Okay, friends, I want to personally invite you to what I think is one of the most beautiful and truly fun parties in the whole charity event year in Beaufort (which, groan, there are like a million of them now!). The Lafayette Soiree, now in its 44th year, is the original and the best. You need to “stake your flag” in Beaufort’s social scene at this fabulous event. There are only a few more days left to buy your tickets to this lovely garden party at the peak of spring in the Lowcountry. Creative teams have been working for the past three months on what they hope will be the best soiree ever! The party will be held at the spectacular formal boxwood grounds of Alison and Mark Guilloud’s beautiful historic tabby home. Mark Guilloud, along with Bryan and Melanie McCafree, has done a great job building and decorating an 18th century Paris market street storefront that will serve a French-inspired menu from Beaufort’s top chefs from Breakwater, Saltus, Old Bull Tavern and Beaufort Bread Company. There will be oysters on the half shell, steak, and French macaroons, just to name a few of the delicious delicacies. Wonderful Champagne and French wine will be served in addition to two full bars, and don’t miss the great silent auction featuring trips and dinners, and Atlanta’s best show band performing live.

My co-chairs this year on the soiree planning committee include the lovely and super smart Laura Dukes, Terry Sweeney (who’s always up for a good party), and Will Verity. The fun Paula Verity has done a great job as chairperson. All my fellow co-chairs want to invite you to join the festivities. Parking is at the Baptist field on Prince Street, and carriages will take you to the soiree on Washington Street. Tax deductible tickets are available online at www.historicbeaufort.org or call 843-379-3331. Come be a part of this annual fundraiser to support Historic Beaufort Foundation, we would love to see you!

Good news: ‘Shag’ is on Garden & Gun Magazine’s List of Top Ten Greatest Movies of the South

By Lanier Laney

Terry Sweeney and myself wrote a movie that came out more than 20 years ago about four girls in South Carolina who take a road trip to Myrtle Beach to go to Shag dance clubs and meet their true loves. “Shag” became a cult classic with college girls on the East Coast, many whom have seen it more than 40 times. If you loved the movie, or want to bring national attention to the Shag dance and the culture of the Lowcountry, go to the online contest that Garden and Gun is conducting to help the movie win the fan favorite poll. Simply go online to gardenandgun.com/movies and vote. Spread the word to your “Shag” loving friends. A big thank you for supporting us two local screenwriters who love our Lowcountry!

Happy Days for HELP raises money for nonprofit HELP of Beaufort held its annual fundraiser “Happy Days for HELP” last Saturday, March 22 at The Shed in Port Royal.

The fundraiser was chaired by HELP of Beaufort president Steve Curless, as well as co-chairs Debbie Marcil and Mardi Shoffner. HELP is the largest of all volunteer organizations in Beaufort County providing emergency assistance and Mobile Meals to those who qualify. Photos by Captured Moments Photography.

Book

continued from page 1 “It was no contest,” author Cornett said about choosing the cover art. When she visited Lady’s Island Elementary School last winter to update her text on arts integration, she spotted the stunning display.

Visual art teacher Stephanie Riedmayer explained that the self-portraits were the result of a study of artist Jonathan Green. Cornett saw in the display the potential for a book cover.

“This art has all the right elements,” Cornett explained. “It is provocative — it makes the viewer want to keep looking and want to know more. What the kids created is simply beautiful!”

The Lady’s Island Elementary student art exhibit wasn’t the only thing that impressed Professor Cornett.

An initial meeting with Principal Marvelle Ulmer and the school’s arts team prompted the author to feature the school in chapter two.

According to Dr. Cornett, “Lady’s Island Elementary School has a solid history of working to meaningfully integrate the arts and has repeatedly been recognized for its innovative programing — including the recent Governor’s Award. The Lady’s Island Elementary story is a poignant example of how creative teaching can turn student achievement around.”

Implemented in hundreds of schools across the United States, arts integration (AI) centers on creative teaching. AI is an instructional approach in which teachers use music, visual art, drama, dance and literature to teach everything from science units on the plants and planets to geometry.

AI now has a solid 30-year-old track record for increasing student achievement, particularly among the hardest to reach kids — those growing up in poverty.

Top educators consider AI to be the most significant educational innovation in the past two decades.

Dr. Cornett explains, “AI works because the arts have natural appeal — they engage students cognitively and emotionally. Students become more motivated to do hard high-level thinking when they are challenged to transform learning into a dramatic scene, a song, a piece of art or a dance.”

TCL • The Technical College of the Lowcountry is now accepting applications for fall entry into its health sciences programs that include massage therapy, nursing, physical therapist assistant, radiologic technology and surgical technology. Applications are due April 15. Call 843-525-8267 or visit www.tcl.edu/health to learn more.

What exactly is arts integration? Cornett says the definition is the title of her book — creating meaning through literature and the arts. “Of course, kids need to be taught HOW to make sense, how to collect ideas and evidence, to connect the dots and draw informed conclusions. That’s what creative thinking — at the heart of AI — is about,” she explained.

Locals can see AI in action daily, throughout the curriculum, at the school. But the rest of the country can now see it, too. Readers will get a glimpse of how to teach using the arts in classroom “snapshots” throughout the new book. The vignettes allow teachers new to AI to be able to step into actual lessons.

“Stephanie Riedmayer, Kristin Brady, Lisa Ten Eyck, Lynda McLain and classroom teachers Jessica GoethieBacon and Charlotte Diorio welcomed me into their classrooms for observations. Their creative teaching ideas make the book come alive,” says Claudia Cornett.

“That and their photogenic faces!”

Indeed, as a result of the initial visit to Lady’s Island Elementary School, local photographer Eric Smith was engaged to do a photo shoot at the school. Through his creative images, the arts integration story is furthered told.

“Creating Meaning through Literature and the Arts” is currently used in dozens of U.S. colleges and in other countries, such as Canada and Australia. Lauded as the “bible” of arts integration, the book is also a favorite for continuing education for events such as the Spoleto Creative Teaching Institute. And with this edition, the publisher, Pearson has its sights set even higher. For the first time, the new edition is available as an e-text, so it is expected to reach wider audiences.

One little arts-based school in the very artsy little town of Beaufort is about to become famous.

Leadership class visits Marine Corps Air Station The Lady’s Island Middle School Junior Leadership class visited the Marine Corps Air Station at the end of February. Sergeant Sanchez greeted the students and explained that the main mission of the air station is to support Marines abroad. The class had the opportunity to hear about the new F-35B’s that are arriving soon. They visited the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighters Facility, better known as the ARF, where a few Marines demonstrated how their gear works and the responsibilities of a firefighter on base. Captain Pangea gave the class an overview of what it takes to become a member of a fighter attack squadron and the credentials needed to become a pilot. They also had the opportunity to view one of the F-18’s on base.

Next, they stopped by the K-9 unit where they were allowed to watch a demonstration with the dogs and their handlers. The students really enjoyed the demonstration they put on.

The final stop was the mess hall where the students enjoyed their lunch. The school would like to thank all of the Marines who took their time to inform these middle schoolers about the importance of the Marine Corps Air Station.

Fifth grader wins 2014 Future Chef Challenge Jacob Himes’ parents say he started cooking in the family kitchen as soon as he was tall enough to reach the countertop — while standing on a chair. Today that experience came in handy when the Okatie Elementary fifth-grader’s Corn and Black Bean Wrap took top honors in the 2014 Future Chef Challenge.

Himes was one of five elementary school student finalists from across the district who prepared sandwich creations for a panel of five judges at the Beaufort-Jasper Academy for Career Excellence. Judges awarded points

based on originality, taste, healthy attributes, plate presentation, ease of preparation and kid-friendliness.

The five finalists were chosen from 30 young cooks from district elementary schools who submitted sandwich recipes in this year’s challenge, sponsored by Sodexo. Himes’ sandwich wrap recipe included baked chicken, corn, black beans and garbanzo beans.

“It’s easy to make, you can eat it on the go and it tastes great,” Himes said. “It’s nice but not too fancy.”

Receiving silver medals were Selena Lopez Martinez

(M.C. Riley Elementary, Hungry Tasty Sandwich) and Evan Woodward (M.C. Riley Elementary, Tom’s Turkey Sandwich).

Receiving bronze medals were Azaria Jones (Shanklin Elementary, Ultimate Nutella Sandwich) and Ava Maldonado (Mossy Oaks Elementary, Deluxe Sandwich).

Himes’ grand prize was a gift basket of cookware.

Silver medalists also received cookware, while bronze medalists received movie passes.

Horseshoes and the Ex: Part I

I clearly remember coming home from school one day and shyly telling my mother that I had experienced a moment of distinction that day. I have to admit though, that it doesn’t take much for a second grader to feel that the stars are aligned like firecrackers in the night. That particular day stands out in memory, as I had been so pleased to find myself to be the only one in the small, rural, third-grade class of 20 students, in 1967, who could say that their parents were divorced.

Yet, upon recapping the day with my mother, I suddenly felt the converse. My mood turned dismal even. My mother soothed my uneasy feelings for having reveled for a moment in the family laundry as best she could, but it would be my

father’s family that would find a way to turn the taint of divorce into a profound message about love, an ideal that I would carry into adulthood.

To wit, family reunions on my dad’s side of my family back in the 1970’s involved deviled eggs, horseshoes, playground equipment at the local park that undoubtedly wouldn’t meet any set of modern safety standards — and exwives.

My dad was one of four brothers. Three out of four ultimately divorced, some more than once. The slightly extraordinary

thing was that the “ex-wives,” under the ideological umbrella of my grandparents, still came to the family reunions. They came with their new husbands and new step-children. One of my aunts was the family reunion treasurer for years after she was no longer officially a member of the family. My grandparents believed that once you were a part of the family, you were always a part of the family. They had pictures of all of the family, even the ex’s, proudly displayed in their homes as long as they lived.

About the time my parents divorced, a study that followed 60 families for five, ten, even fifteen years began. Judith Wallerstein, who originated the study, wondered what the effects were to be in the long term for the children in my generation. It was

commonly believed when I was child, even in academic circles, that after a year, or maybe even two or three years, families would heal and children would heal. Who hasn’t heard the homily, “time heals all wounds?”

The one thing Judith felt sure about, even at the outset of the study, was that the post-divorce child, who would one day create a family of their own, would be wholly different than the adult they might have been, “for better or worse, for richer or for poorer…”

Her study, and subsequent studies, attempt to answer the question that each person involved in a divorce from the immediate family to the wider community of people that make up each family’s “tribe” have asked: What now?

quotes of life from the millennial generation

Forgiveness is a virtue

By Mayah Hawthorne

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” — Louis B. Smedes Forgiveness is something that a lot of people have a hard time doing. But, if you think about it, you’re not hurting the person you’re not forgiving, you’re really hurting yourself.

Spending so much time trying to remember

to stay mad at a person who hurt you or wronged you can be exhausting. Really, let’s be honest, who wants to go their whole life staying mad at a person? Family, friends, strangers are all people you can stay your mad at, but inside if you want to forgive, you want to be OK with that person, why fight it, why be upset? So you hurt the other person’s

voted “best dentist” in the island news every year

feelings? You’re the one who’s hurt, that is why you won’t forgive. When you are truly able to forgive, you should not do it for anyone else except for yourself, because forgiveness only helps you! When you let your anger go, you are free again.

Mayah Hawthorne is a sophomore at Battery Creek High School.

Importance of Dental Cleanings If you think about it, one of the quickest ways to the bloodstream and ultimately the body is through the gums, particularly bleeding gums.

It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems with your gums and underlying bone.

Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

Whale Branch AD earns statewide honor Whale Branch Early College High School Athletic Director Carlos Cave has been named the 2014 Athletic Director of the Year for Class A by the South Carolina Athletic Directors Association.

Beaufort High School’s Jerry Linn was named Class AAAA Regional Athletic Director of the Year, while Hilton Head Island High’s Joe Monmonier was named Class AAA Regional Athletic Director of the Year. All three recognitions were announced last Wednesday at a state awards breakfast in Charleston.

Cave was singled out among 52 high school athletic directors across the state in Class A. During Cave’s three years as athletic director, student athletes

at four-year-old Whale Branch Early College High have put together a string of successes: • The boys basketball team has won the 2014 Lower State championship, and played in the state championship game, for the past two years.

• The girls basketball team has won the regional championship for the past two years.

• The boys track and field team won the 2012 Class A State Championship in 2012 and brought home individual state championships in 2013.

• Wrestler Max Ford has won backto-back state championships in the heavyweight division.

• The volleyball team won the 2012

beaufort high ad also recognized Beaufort High School’s Jerry Linn was recently named Class AAAA Regional Athletic Director of the Year by the SC Athletic Director’s Association.

regional championship.

“To have accomplished so much in such a short period of time says a lot about Mr. Cave’s leadership,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “The future of Whale Branch athletics certainly looks bright.”

School Principal Priscilla Drake said that Cave’s strong organizational skills had been a major asset for the school’s athletic program, particularly in meeting the district’s new 2.0 minimum GPA requirement. In 2011, Beaufort County became one of only two districts in South Carolina to raise its academic participation standard from merely “passing” to a minimum grade point average of 2.0.

“Nine out of 10 student athletes here have met the new higher standard in its first two years,” Drake said, “and I attribute a lot of that to Mr. Cave’s efforts to monitor students’ academic performance and make sure they get extra help if they need it.”

Country Western band to play concert at ARTworks Junkyard Angel, a Country Western band from Savannah will be playing a concert at ARTworks on Friday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Junkyard Angel is comprised of Stewart Marshall on vocals and electric and rhythm guitar, Jim Marshall on vocals and acoustic guitar, Scotty Rahn on lead guitar and vocals, Scott Tanner on bass, and drummer Joe Ippolito.

These guys are a tight knit group who have been together since 2005. Playing a mix of original compositions and cover tunes done in Junkyard’s unique style, band members describe their sound as “used, abused, rhinestone-infused, old school country and rock.”

Junkyard Angel recorded their first album, Medicine Jar, in 2009. A second album, Silent Hero, soon followed which was recorded at Skyline Studios in Nashville where Lady Antebellum records.

The Savannah-based band Junkyard Angel.

The band members toured extensively for years — both with individual careers and as Junkyard Angel.

However, these days they prefer to stick closer to home. In regard to touring, lead vocalist Stewart

Marshall says, “I’ve been there, I’ve done that. [These days] everybody’s got jobs and families, so we’re kind of tapped for time. Except for my brother Jim, all of us are in our mid 40s. Between kids, soccer, lacrosse, football and karate ...”

So there you have it. Junkyard Angel is a mix of high and low, country and rock, original music and familiar tunes, hard rocking musicians and family men, all of which contributes to what Junkyard Angels has always been, a product of its Southern roots and values, and what it will be in the futures as it sits poised to burst onto the national stage.

Tickets are $17 per person, $15 for active military with ID. ARTworks is in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street. Visit www.beaufortcountyarts.com or call 843-379-2787.

Beaufort Children’s Theatre presents ‘My Son Pinocchio, Jr.’ In Disney’s “My Son Pinocchio, Jr.,” the classic tale of toymaker Geppetto’s little wooden puppet is given new life. The Beaufort Children’s Theatre will bring this story to the stage in its upcoming production on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts.

This musical, which retells the classic Disney story from Geppetto’s perspective, features the beloved classic songs “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” alongside a host of new songs by Oscar and Grammy Award-winner and master melodist Stephen Schwartz, tackling timely issues about what it means to be “the perfect child” — and what it means to be “a real father.”

Join the Blue Fairy (Destinye Stromer), Stromboli (Keaton Mykleby), and a lively cast of characters as Geppetto (Dan Brown) journeys beyond the toy shop to discover the meaning of family. Disney’s “My Son Pinocchio, Jr.” is a magical mix of a fairy tale delight and action-packed adventure. Audiences will love following Pinocchio’s (Zach Hobbs) journey from an awkward wooden puppet to a real live boy and will be charmed by Geppetto’s transformation from demanding creator to real live father.

“This show is a true classic filled with wonderful music and a heart-warming story,” said Bonnie Hargrove, director of the Beaufort Children’s Theatre. “It is a perfect show to bring the whole family to enjoy — with lots of comedic twists along the way.”

The musical is an hour long

performance with more than 70 local auditioned actors ranging from age 7-18. The Beaufort Children’s Theatre leadership includes Bonnie Hargrove, director; Jim Riley, music director; Valerie Hobbs, choreographer, as well as involvement from parents and generous community members.

Tickets are available online at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com where audience members can select specific seats ranging from $15-$25 for adults and $10-$15 for children. Tickets may also be purchased by calling the box office at 843-521-4145. The performance will be at the USCB Center for the Arts at 805 Carteret Street, Beaufort.

AT RIGHT: Zach Hobbs plays Pinocchio in Disney’s “My Son Pinocchio, Jr.” at USCB Center for the Arts from April 4-6.

BAA welcomes collaborative exhibit ‘Wrapsody’ The Beaufort Art Association is pleased to present “WRAPSODY,” a collaborative exhibition by two awardwinning Sun City artists, Linda Patalive and Mary Ann Putzier.

The show runs Tuesday, March 31 through May 10 at the Beaufort Art Association Gallery, 913 Bay Street, open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 12:30 to 4 p.m.

The opening reception will be held Friday, April 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Come meet the artists and enjoy refreshments. The work of 75 other member artists will also be displayed.

Linda Patalive is a renowned fabric painter who, after an initial interest in watercolor and oil painting, shifted her creative focus to art expressed on fabric.

Initially experimenting with batiking on cotton she moved on to silk because of the rich and varied colors possible with that material. Linda achieves her unique and vibrant one-of-a-kind

pieces through the use of many dyeing techniques that include batik, shibori, silk screening, silk painting, stamping and discharge, and the use of French dyes which require steaming in order to set the colors. In addition to scarves, Linda creates other portable art such as small silk purses, glasses cases and pocket-sized tissue holders. Her elegant, meticulously crafted decoupage boxes have become family heirlooms as they are passed on from mother to daughter.

the island news | march 27 - april 2, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

Linda has studied with nationally known fiber artists Susan Moyer and Yoshiko. She is a member of the Surface Design Association, Silk Painters International, and Fiber Artists of Beaufort. Her art is on display at Puff Mud Gallery in Bluffton, and the Beaufort Art Association Gallery in Beaufort.

Mary Ann Putzier is a watercolor and porcelain painter with extensive studio

and teaching experience. Preferring the representational style, she wraps watercolor paper around stretcher frames which allows her to lay down pigment in a relatively pure form without filters. This technique lends the appearance of luminosity to her three dimensional creations. She then seals the paper, giving a direct presentation without matting, glass or frames.

Whether painting on watercolor paper or porcelain, Mary Ann’s brush strokes faithfully capture the scenic interplay of light and shadow or the playfulness and gaiety of children in her portraits, whereas, her lightness of touch lends vibrancy and beauty to her porcelain and watercolor designs.

Local performer will take you on ‘A Date With Patsy Cline’ If there were some way to bring Patsy Cline back from Country Music Heaven for a date with Maggy Norden, her #1 fan and star of the one-woman show, “A Date With Patsy Cline,” Maggy knows just what she would do: “I’d probably want to keep her all to myself, and ask her what she thinks about the icon she has become since her death in 1963.

I’d ask her some gossipy questions I’m curious about, too. But then, knowing how much she loved her fans, I would take her bar-hopping to all my favorite singing haunts around Beaufort and watch people be amazed by her talent.”

A lifelong admirer of the singer (who died tragically in a plane crash at age 30, just as her career was taking off ) Maggy has parlayed her fandom, and her remarkable singing voice, into soldout performances of “Always ... Patsy Cline” at USCB, singing as Patsy for tips at a Habitat for Humanity fundraiser, being an “auction item” at the Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Valentine Ball, and teaching a couple of OLLI classes in full costume and character with a mixture of songs and stories from Patsy’s life. All of this has culminated in her brand-new original show,“A Date With Patsy Cline,” which will run April 4-6 at ARTworks.

Maggy, who lives with her husband Joey in Habersham, said she “grew up loving Patsy’s songs. In fact, in ‘Always

Maggy Norden stars in the one-woman show “A Date With Patsy Cline.”

... Patsy Cline,’ Louise Segar (who was played by director Gail Westerfield) said it best, upon hearing Patsy for the first time: ‘That sounds the way I’ve always wanted to sing.’ So it was serendipity that I was given the opportunity to portray Patsy in that show.”

Knowing of her interest, friends began giving Maggy books about Patsy, and Maggy grew to admire her even more. “Her short life was filled with

hard work and heartache. She was incredibly tenacious. She was gutsy and brash and loyal to a fault, even turning down opportunities if it meant hurting someone in the process.”

“A Date With Patsy Cline” features 20 of Patsy’s biggest hits and her life story, including both personal tidbits and the impact she made on country and pop music in the 20th century.

“I will take you from the Shenandoah

Hills of Virginia where Patsy was born during the Depression,” Maggy says, “to Carnegie Hall, where she performed at the height of her career. There will be audience participation, lots of toetapping, and perhaps a few tears when you hear her most memorable hits,” Maggy promises.

“Patsy was a trailblazer for women in country music as well as pop. She was a solo artist at a time when men dominated the industry. Her determination and perseverance took her all the way to the top, and along the way she helped other female artists: Brenda Lee, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, and Dottie West.”

After one her OLLI classes, Maggy says, “a student told me afterwards that she was all set to ask me if I knew her friend, who had also competed on the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts as Patsy had in 1957. But then she remembered, ‘This isn’t actually Patsy Cline. It’s an actress, Maggy Norden!’”

You, too, can feel as if you’re really on a date with The Cline on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center on Boundary Street.

YMCA hires sailing and boating director The Wardle Family YMCA, located at 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal, recently hired Paul Spencer as the sailing and boating director who will implement the Y’s new Spirit of America youth and teen boating program set to launch this summer.

Spencer, an avid boater and water enthusiast, has an extended background in real estate management, sales and start-up company operations. He has served as a volunteer for the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park, CO, and as a volunteer and board member for Adaptive Adventures in Evergreen, CO. Spencer is certified

in Boating Safety by the US Power Squadron, is a member of the U.S. Rowing Association and the Beaufort Rowing Club.

“Paul was the clear choice for this position,” YMCA CEO Michael Bostwick stated. “He possesses the know-how to start a program, see it to its fruition and train staff and volunteers to ensure its success. We look forward to having him on board.”

The Spirit of America program will introduce young people to several different types and sizes of watercraft and water-based activities, all of which nurture responsible behavior.

This partnership is unique to the Wardle YMCA branch and will play a vital role in ensuring the safety of the area’s youth around waterways.

The program Paul will maintain the Spencer YMCA’s policy to offer affordable programs that are accessible by all. The YMCA will offer aid to those who may not otherwise be able to participate.

Spirit of America provides an ideal environment for the students to learn,

New Special Olympics team starts A Special Olympic Swimming Team has begun in Beaufort and has already gained much community support.

The Special Olympics organization was founded in 1968 with the vision of fostering acceptance and inclusion of all people. Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. The athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment.

Did you know that one in 10 people worldwide is a person with a disability?

Common causes are from injury, disease, infections, toxic exposure, genetic conditions, complications during pregnancy or birth, and for unknown reasons.

Through the Special Olympics, the focus is shifted from what athletes can’t do, to what they CAN through real competition and real achievements; thus, the attention to the disability fades away. The mission is to give these people continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate

courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

For the new Beaufort team Carolina Hammerhead Sharks, founder Debra Marshall says they are asking for sponsors to donate any amount of funds and/or supplies that are needed to go on the road for two local competitions in Charleston and Columbia, which require transportation, gas and food.

Also, they are looking at creating a First Aid Kit to carry with them.

Debra said, “Many businesses in the community have already found a place in their heart for sponsorship of our new team. We have a goal of $1000 and have obtained $300. Thank you for our loving volunteers and sponsors thus far: volunteer coaches Christie Bohmert and Bethany Byrne, and sponsorships from Franciscan Center Thrift Shop, Rosie O’Gradys, Dairy Queen, Lands End Tour Kayak Rentals, Velveteen Rabbit Store, Piggly Wiggly, Food Lion, Free Agent Concrete, Jade Garden Restaurant, and the YMCA. Please support these businesses and tell them thank you for helping our special athletes in the community.”

To join the team with a sponsorship of $25 or more, contact Debra at 843982-2722 or email funamongus@aol. com. This would be a tax deductible contribution to a nonprofit charity (501-C).

Band Jam & BBQ benefits Spanish Moss Trail Spend Sunday, April 6, from 3 to 7 p.m., enjoying live music and great food at the Band Jam & BBQ benefiting the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail and hosted by Hemingway’s Bistro, 920 Bay Street, facing Waterfront Park.

Come enjoy mouthwatering BBQ for $10 a plate and thirstquenching $2 beers while listening to live, home-grown bands including The Bull Grapes, Fripp N Friends, The Sometimes Later Band and The Rose Family Band.

“These bands have generously offered to perform as a gift to our community and to support the important efforts of the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail,” said event creator Charlie Williams. “These bands individually have their own special sound and style, perfect for a casual outdoor event with a 22

mix of country, folk, southern rock, blues and bluegrass.”

Williams’ year-long vision for a musicfilled, outdoor event in support of the Spanish Moss Trail became a reality after partnering with the event’s director and Hemingway’s Bistro Day Manager, Zoe Perpall.

Perpall has brought together dozens of communityminded businesses and individuals to collaborate in support of this public event.

Williams said he first heard of the concept of “rails-to-trail’ more than 30 years ago. A few years later, he used such a trail on Cape Cod. “When I heard our own community would have a paved trail to enjoy, I knew I was going to commit my support — thus the Band Jam and BBQ,” said Williams.

In addition to music and food,

the island news | march 27 - april 2, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

come ready to bid on items ranging from outdoor recreational activities to overnight stays at local accommodations.

These items will be auctioned off throughout the event and all proceeds benefit the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail, the paved rails-to-trail greenway project in Northern Beaufort County.

The Spanish Moss Trail has a 10-Phase Master Plan, which when complete, will be a 14-mile long, 12foot wide, paved trail dedicated to pedestrians and bicyclists. The first two phases are complete and open for public use connecting the heart of Beaufort to the Town of Port Royal (with parking at Depot Road, Broome Lane and Westvine Drive). Two more phases are underway with construction starting this spring — connecting 7 scenic miles between the Town of Port Royal and the Marine Corps Air Station.

react, and develop lifelong learning skills and ambitions.

Based on a hands-on program, Spirit of America empowers youth, in a nontraditional classroom setting, to dare to dream, while meeting the underlying goals of the curriculum for developing self-esteem, teamwork, safe seamanship, boating and water safety practices, and responsible behavior in our young adults.

Volunteers to help run the program are needed. Interested parties should contact Paul Spencer at the YMCA of Beaufort County at 843-522-9622 or boatingymca@gmail.com.

Area garden clubs host spring meeting at Dataw On March 19, the Beaufort Council of Garden Clubs hosted the West Low Country District Spring meeting at Dataw Country Club.

It was a community event. The ROTC Color Guard of Beaufort High School presented colors while third and fourth grade students from Beaufort Academy sang “America the Beautiful.”

Former state representative Edie Rodgers, a member of Lady’s Island Garden Club, welcomed the assemblage. She spoke of how garden clubs everywhere make valuable contributions to their communities and throughout the state.

Judith Dill, President of the Garden Club of S.C., cited specifics of what garden clubs do across South Carolina. The Blue Star Marker and the Memorial Garden honor active and former service men. Clubs provide scholarships to further the study of plants and the environment. They also sponsor high school students to Camp Wildwood each summer. The mission of garden clubs everywhere is “Beautification, Education and Conservation.”

Featured speaker Amanda McNulty, host of the TV show “Making It Grow,” gave a delightful and informative talk about the value of trees. Trees are the theme of the state garden club.

McNulty described how she planted trees to cool her non-air conditioned house. She also spoke of planting wind-breaks to block the winter north wind from over cooling a bedroom in an “attic” area. McNulty laughingly confessed that trees do indeed hang over her

house because “that’s what insurance is for.”

She passionately believes that trees passively improve the quality of air both outside and inside a house.

McNulty also explained how well-placed trees in cities make drivers slow down naturally. She believes planting curb side trees changes the aesthetic of cities, making them more beautiful while cleaning pollutants from the air.

It’s always a pleasure when the Lunch Bunch dines at Big Joe’s Bar-B-Q, mostly because the owner, Yunhi, is one of a kind. She always looks great with makeup and jewelry just right, and if it wasn’t for her apron you wouldn’t know she was busy in the kitchen cooking up her unique blend of Southern comfort food and authentic Korean dishes.

Yunhi started us out with a cheeseburger, which has two patties, lettuce and tomato and is served on Texas toast.

Ninety-nine percent?

By Celia Strong

Ninety nine percent: If that doesn’t say it all? (And raise some questions, too.)

This week we get to try a new wine and learn about its origins while drinking and enjoying. So, let’s give it 100 percent and see what we come up with.

Our journey this week takes us to South Africa. The South African wine industry dates back to 1659 when the Dutch East India Company set up a trading post and supply station in what is now Cape Town. Jan van Riebeek, a Dutch surgeon, was a manager at the station. He was responsible, too, for planting vineyards and producing wines.

These wines were intended to help sailors on the ships that sailed out from Cape Town to ward off scurvy. Not your usual reason for making wine, but not totally unique either. I’m sure some of us have heard of the medicinal qualities of wine. Right? Anyhow, the first harvest was in 1659.

In the 18th century, much of the wine made in South Africa was exported to England. Constantia — a 1,900 acre estate just outside of Cape Town — was an early success, making superb wines.

Despite the ups and downs at this estate, the early reputation of South African wines was established.

By 1859, almost 1 million gallons of South African wines were sent to England, and the Cape Town area had a period of prosperity that lasted until the 1860’s. These export numbers dropped drastically, though, by 1865, to about one 130 gallons. A treaty between France and England lowered the tariffs on French wines going into England.

So, yes, their numbers went way up and South Africa lost out. Then, in 1866, phylloxera hit the South African vineyards and it took 20 years for them to recover.

During that 20 years, many grape growers switched to growing orchards and alfalfa. (Alfalfa was used to feed the massive numbers of ostriches, raised for their very fashionable feathers.) Those who did replant chose high yield varieties, and, by the early 1900’s, more than 80 million vines were planted. And the result? What is called a “wine lake.” Loads of cheap and not-so-great wine — not

considered a good situation. So, in 1918, a co-op (KWV) was started, and its members worked on rules and regulations for growing, winemaking and pricing to help the wine industry re-establish itself.

Eventually, toward the end of the 20th century, with the end of Apartheid, South African wines were once more selling around the world and investors were coming into their wineries. The abundance The Badenhorst Curator White is made by of high yielding varieties was replaced with AA Badenhorst winery in South Africa. better quality grapes and better wines returned. on making premium wines.

wines here to hold a weekend event to showcase them. Hence, the Swartland Revolution.

One of the founders and supporters of the revolution is our winery for this week — AA Badenhorst. Their family wines are made and aged on Kalmoesfontein farm.

Two cousins, Hein and Adi Badenhorst, own the property. They come from Constantia where their grandfather worked for 46 years at the Constantia Estate. Both their fathers also worked at the estate. The cousins have restored an old cellar on their Swartland farm that was last used in the 1930’s.

Adi grew up picking grapes at Constantia and worked also in vineyards in Bordeaux, the Rhône and Stellenbosch. In 2008, he bought just under 150 acres in Paardeberg in Swartland with his cousin Hein. Most of their vines, mostly old bush vines, were planted in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

They were Chenin Blanc, Cinsault and Grenache. Now, they grow their grapes sustainably in three different types of granite soils. The vines are not irrigated.

Grapes, both red and white, are handled as whole bunches so they do not crush or de-stem.

The white grapes, ours for this week, are transferred immediately into old casks or concrete tanks for fermentation.

The Badenhorst Curator White is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon. Fifty-four percent Chenin, 30 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent Semillon. It is pale medium yellow in color, with aromas of lemon candy, peaches and nectarines, flowers, honey and anise. This wine’s texture is silky with lush finish from the Chardonnay.

A great wine for summer evenings, light foods, Asian flavors, sushi, salads, seafood. For $8.99.

But wait! Go back a second. Adding 54 and 30 and 15 only equals 99. That’s only 99 percent of the Curator. What’s wrong? We’re missing a piece of our wine. But, no, we just misplaced it. The last one percent of The Curator was used to make something else — a lovely fragrant soap with special skin softeners.

The soap’s yours for $4.99.

So, we do have a full 100 percent. And then some! Enjoy.

Capital strength is one of the factors they look at to determine the strength and safety of a bank. How much capital a bank has in relation to its assets is a mark of stability among banks. We always maintain a high capital to assets ratio. It’s one of the reasons we’re always rated as a strong bank.

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

The wolf on the sofa BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

Dogs straddle two worlds; they all carry a template of behaviors inherited from their wolf ancestors. With varying degrees of success, they attempt to overlay this template on their lives amongst us humans.

Sometimes, the template doesn’t line up with what lies beneath. It doesn’t line up with wolf society anymore, either. Dogs live in a confounding world of instinctive behavior pitted against their new learned behaviors as wheedlers, ingénues, bullies and innocents.

The most useful behavior that dogs carry over from wolf society is the wolf ’s sense of social rank and the system of communication that supports pack structure. Rank is the consequence of adaptations the wolf made in order to live in a group. Being part of a pack came with the benefits of increased resources (food). But it also put him in conflict with his own kind. The acceptance of social rank was the only way to avoid constant fighting over what food there was. Those who gave up to the bigger guys found it was a pretty good way to avoid getting killed or driven off by older, stronger more experienced pack members.

Over time the dog’s ability to grasp the concept of social hierarchy became the key to his compatibility with humans. Dogs are, after all, social climbers.

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath.

Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

They have a powerful instinct to be with and to be compliant and mild toward those they view as their social superiors. We humans have very useful opposable thumbs that come in handy when a dog wants something. But, they are also always on the lookout for signs of weakness, hesitation or a loss of confidence. As erstwhile “pack leaders,” we are responsible for setting rules and maintaining order. We are entrusted with the safety, security and longevity of our “pack”.

However, being a strong and effective pack leader does not mean being harsh, overbearing or cruel. Nothing ruffles my fur more than to listen to some Neanderthal hoot that the reason his dog trembles and creeps around him is because he “did the alpha roll!” on her. The alpha roll is a technique used in old-style dog training to discipline a misbehaving dog. It consists of flipping the dog onto its back and pinning it in

that position, sometimes by the throat.

It was first popularized by the Monks of New Skete in their 1976 book, “How To Be Your Dog’s Best Friend”.

(Best friend, really?) It’s useless and it’s cruel. In the true dog world, the pack leader does not spend all day, every day flipping and pinning all the dogs in their pack, snarling, fighting or being an otherwise pain in the ass. They clearly communicate their position as leader in the hierarchy by all the other signals they give.

Even though we are hampered by a questionable ability to communicate with another species, we must be our dog’s authoritarian guide much as parents are authoritarian guides for our children.

Although Juma is a member of the

family or a working partner (or both), he is not an equal in responsibility or freedom and must be instructed in how to behave in an appropriate manner inside and outside the home.

This training can take advantage of the characteristics that dogs have inherited from their wolf ancestors but with a nod to the influences of domestication.

The trick is to guide Juma even though we cannot communicate with him on his own level but are destined (or doomed) to educate him according to our human nature.

Therefore, understanding dominance, submission, aggression, and the dog’s affinity for group living are important to the process even though thousands of years of canine husbandry have moderated their purpose.

Being pack leader means learning how to communicate alpha signals all dogs will understand. Don’t assume your puppy (or any other dog for that matter) speaks English. He speaks D-O-G. Communicating understandable alpha signals to your dog is the closest we ever come to speaking dog. As pack leaders we need to communicate with clarity, with consistency, compassion, understanding, and respect.
