news POLITICS: STATE PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Two vie for Clerk of Court seat REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE RAY GARZA Ray Garza is a Republican candidate for the office of Beaufort County Clerk of Court. He is a tenacious, selfdirected, and resourceful professional whose strengths include organization, accountability, and strong work ethic.

Ray has a track record of having a positive attitude and promoting a culture of shared goals and success through training and hands-on guidance. As long as he could remember, he has had the compassion and desire to help others. These virtues have helped guide him through his decisions concerning employment and education.

Ray believes that serving in the United States military is one of the most admirable jobs and services one can perform. Military service instills a sense of patriotism and respect for our country. He served six years in the United States Marine Corps as a Marine Weather Observer and as a Military Policeman. He served two years as a reservist. After his honorable discharge from the Marines, he started to focus on his family and self improvement through higher education.

Ray believes our elected officials should have a formal education. A formal education is essential in the professional development of a person.

Ray has a Bachelors degree in Human Services from the University of South

Carolina Beaufort where he graduated cum laude in 2008.

Ray said, “My degree has given me the necessary skills of listening, communication, Ray and research that Garza has helped me find solutions to problems I have faced while working at the courthouse.” He is currently a candidate for a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Webster University. Ray expects to complete his masters studies in the fall of 2012.

Ray believes a thorough understanding of the job that needs to be performed comes only from personal experience. He started working at the Clerk of Courts office in 2007. He started as an entry level clerk. He quickly learned the processes and was immediately tasked with more responsibilities. After he graduated from college, he was promoted to the Division Chief of Common Pleas. His duties included the day to day operations of the Civil Court. His main focus was case management of the pending files. He monitored case management orders, reviewed court activities for compliance with orders, court rulings, and administrative directives. He also

coordinated the attorney’s availability or readiness for hearings, trials, or other court events.

Ray’s two priorities include improving customer service and quality assurance.

Changes to improve customer service include accepting credit cards for payment of fees and fines. Ray is also going to reverse the “correct change only” policy. Ray said, “Nobody will be turned away because they do not have correct change.” He is going to lower the cost of copies. The court should not be making a profit on copies, but rather set a fee that covers the cost. Ray is going to establish a debit card program or direct deposit program for Family Court child support/ alimony payments. He will work to provide customers with the ability to make online payments for fees, fines, and child support/alimony payments.

The reputation of an organization is how well the records are kept. Ray is going to implement quality control measures to ensure that your records are accurate, complete, and error-free.

Quality control measures simply include proper management and review of the files. Ray will hold his staff accountable for the errors and implement training to address the different issues.

The state primaries are June 12, 2012.

For more information about Ray, visit RayGarzaforClerk.com.

editor’s note These articles were provided and approved by the two candidates in response to a request by the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association for their personal and professional backgrounds and positions on relevant issues.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE JERRI ROSENEAU

By Jerri Roseneau

In 1964, at the tender age of 2, my father received orders to Parris Island and my family relocated to Beaufort.

I attended Beaufort County Public Schools, graduating from Beaufort High School in 1979 and earning an Associate’s Degree from Beaufort Technical College, now known as Technical College of the Lowcountry. My husband Mark and I have been married 26 years. We have two children, Lauren, a senior attending the College of Charleston and Morgan a senior at Beaufort High School who will be attending the USC School of Business in Columbia this fall. We attend Sea Island Presbyterian Church. Volunteer activities have included numerous hours of community service including teaching Sunday school for 11 years; a member and board member of the Mossy Oaks Elementary PTO for nine years; and a member of the City of Beaufort/ Beaufort County Consolidation of Services Committee (1989).

As Beaufort County Clerk of Court I am a member of the Association of Counties and the South Carolina Association of Clerks of Court and Registers of Deeds. As a member of these organizations, I routinely attend ongoing education classes and seminars to maintain up-to-date knowledge of rules and regulations as they relate to 2

the Clerk of Court’s Office.

On August 7, 2009 I was appointed by the governor to the office of the Beaufort County Clerk of Jerri Court. Prior to the Roseneau appointment, I was employed for 28 years as a legal assistant with the law firm of Howell, Gibson & Hughes PA in Beaufort. During those years I obtained extensive experience in the legal field including the drafting of pleadings, coordinating and scheduling depositions, court hearings, as well as daily contact with attorneys and clients statewide. I have worked with state and federal courts through the years, establishing professional relationships with state and federal judicial officials.

This experience and knowledge provided me with the skills necessary to perform the duties as the Clerk of Court.

Since my appointment, the staff and I have diligently worked together to make many improvements. First and foremost is to restore public trust to the Beaufort County Clerk of Court’s office. Necessary changes have taken place, including the creation of Financial Policies and Procedures (checks and balances), distributing unclaimed

the island news | may 10-16, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

funds to intended recipients, updating computer hardware and software programs, disposing the backlog of inactive cases, and implementing a security plan. We have computerized our accounting ledgers and all operating accounts are balanced each month.

Reports are provided to state and county agencies in a timely manner. Direct deposit for recipients of child support is now offered. Utilizing direct deposit, savings will be realized by reducing check printing and postage expenses as well as convenience to the recipient. These policies and strategies have reduced the operating budget in Circuit Court 24% and Family Court 37%.

The clerk’s office is the heart of the court system in the judicial process. The office operates in an efficient manner to ensure that an already overburdened court system will not falter. Our court systems depend heavily on the clerk’s office to serve our county’s current judicial requirements. The office has an obligation to provide accurate information in a competent, cooperative, and timely manner. This is best achieved by ensuring that personnel have the appropriate tools and training necessary to ensure accessibility to the courts.

Steamed: The 10 worst things since broccoli

By Jack Sparacino

Well, I try to give equal time in this column. Having written a few months ago about the 10 best things since sliced bread, and at the urging of several readers, here is my initial list of the 10 worst things. Plus a bonus. Don’t hesitate to let me know if I left out any of your “favorites.”

1. Horrid foodstuffs. We’ve all got our hit list, so here’s mine after over 60 years of careful taste testing: sea urchins, radishes, canned green beans, sake and flavored water. Yeah, I’m willing to take my lumps from the American Radish Foundation and Vegetarians for Democracy. And the guys who flavor water. (By the way, I actually like broccoli, though it seems to have acquired an unsavory reputation in some circles.)

2. Computer viruses. Aside from the fact that they keep some technicians employed undoing them, these bugs create incalculable damage, waste and expense. The fact that they are often caused deliberately should condemn the perpetrators to a punishment that includes a permanent diet of putrid sea urchins and flavored water. With radishes for dessert.

3. Screaming ads on TV. When you can’t fast forward past them, they can make you wonder why you ever bought a TV in the first place. Maybe there’s research somewhere that shows they’re effective, at least for the hard of hearing or those who need to be shaken, not stirred.

3a. Visa card ad with lady climbing a huge rock formation. This one gets

Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in psychological and medical journals. He is retired from United Technologies Corporation and now lives with his wife, Jane and their two dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.

Aside from providing a food source for small fish and maybe some birds, do mosquitoes have any real value?

Net net, their miniscule positives are outweighed by all the disease they spread and their nasty bites. honorable mention. While there’s no screaming, the song lyrics are indecipherable and the music is grating and irrelevant. A shipping company with brown trucks that touts its logistics capability with a send-you-up-a-wall jingle very nearly beat out the lady, who was “way up there.”

4. Flying coach. Right, an easy one.

Well, it used to be fun to fly, anyway, before airlines decided they really wanted to emulate bus companies and leave customer service to some other guys. The silver lining here is that after being cramped and hassled for hours, one’s destination can easily go from good to great in comparison with the trip.

5. Diagramming sentences. Do English teachers still foist this weird and silly exercise on kids anywhere? Is there anyone out there who learned to read, write or do just about anything better as a result of making a perfectly nice sentence look like a fishbone diagram?

6. Never being able to get to a Howard Johnson’s for their fried clams. OK, there may be a few folks out there, like my wife, who think they’re

like eating rubber bands, but I continue to meet people who just crave a nice big plate of these wonderful sweet clams with a lemon wedge and a little fluted paper cup of tarter sauce. Yeah, it has to be fluted.

7. Mosquitoes. Aside from providing a food source for small fish and maybe some birds, do mosquitoes have any real value? Net net, their miniscule positives are outweighed by all the disease they spread and their nasty bites. But hey, it’s 2012 already. Surely scientists can come up with something to get rid of them without poisoning the planet. Maybe someone with the name Skeeter should lead the team.

8. Yellow linoleum floors. In all fairness, I like floors. Large and small.

Hardwood, laminate, terra cotta, you name it. There’s just something about yellow linoleum that makes me feel like something bad is about to happen.

Maybe it’s a carryover from having had a polio shot on one when I was a kid.

9. Turtleneck sweaters (in a narrow “win” over suspenders). Now if you don’t need to wear a necktie, and that seems

to be increasingly common, why would you choose to have something else grabbing at your throat? Don’t get me wrong, though. I do Jack like sweaters. And Sparacino turtles.

10.

Digital watches.

Sure, they’re sometimes so inexpensive they’re almost disposable and they take all the anguish out of actually reading the hands on a regular watch. But many of them look cheesy and you shouldn’t need a kid to help you set the time or understand half the functions. I still have one that cost $50. On sale. It’s supposed to be good to 500 feet under water or some such thing but most of my dives are in the kiddy end of the pool.

When the battery died, it could only be found by first locating the world’s tiniest screwdriver and then removing four minute screws. Sort of like performing brain surgery on a fly. The new battery, not cheap, caused the watch to flash incoherently and then go blank. So what time is it? Time to toss it out.

Now for the bonus: Toll booths. Yes, I’m the guy who once pulled up to a booth with barely 5 cents on me and had to grovel for assistance. Toll booths seem to be set up on only the busiest highways and bridges and therefore add to an already strained commute. Surely there’s a better way to raise the necessary funds. Maybe a gigantic bake sale?

Right, complete with toll house cookies!

As vital as the air a woman breathes is the character of women around her Blessings abound as I was raised by the hands of a strong mother under the shield of a strong grandmother. It is my sincere hope that all women have a mother, grandmother, motherin-law or a sweet surrogate who steps in, steps up and changes your life forever. Remember to thank them this Mother’s Day.

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford Running through the fields with the Mississippi heat searing down, I felt the rye grass like cool velvet against my short little legs. Without a care in the world, I made my way down a purpose beaten path to a place of comfort, peace and most importantly to the porch of a kindred spirit. Just passed the muddied cow pond, over the second hill and down the always dusty gravel road, Proud Mary would be working in the field, mending a fence, tending to the garden or if the sun was fading, sitting on the levy challenging the bass to a duel.

Once I reached the top of the hill, the familiar scent of Magnolias and honey-suckle vines proceeded the sound of a chain saw or hammer. Once my Southernworn bare feet hit the gravel, I was on her land, her terms and in the warm comfort of her strength. I have my Daddy’s eyes, my Momma’s nose but my impossible temperament and devil-be-damned determination is the product of none other than Proud Mary. Proud Mary is my Daddy’s momma and my hero.

Mary still tends the garden, mends the fence and challenges the bass. The garden bends to her rule, the fence gives no battle and the bass haven’t a chance. In Mary’s world, each day holds purpose within each problem hides opportunity and each fishing pole holds ready bait. If something breaks, Mary fixes it. If something goes missing, Mary finds it. If you are hurt, Mary convinces you that pain is secondary.

It didn’t take long for me to decide that Mary was my kind of Mammaw. While my sister and cousins were playing with Barbie dolls and bake sets, I would rush off the school bus to see what project Mary had mastered. I would tell her of my day at school while she hammered the new floor. My opinions of the boys

Cherimie Crane Weatherford

in class would flow freely as I handed her shingles on the roof. Slightly altered details of my latest fight with my Daddy would be explained as I followed her through the garden. Her tan skin, dirty hands and sky blue eyes worked as relentlessly as my little tongue rattled.

Occasionally I would have to fetch her mason jar full of ice tea, or run to the shed to grab a necessary tool.

Mary didn’t treat me like an awkward little girl, her advice wasn’t filtered or soft — if I was wrong, Mary told me. If I was right, Mary stood with me and if Mary stood with you, may the good Lord protect the poor soul who didn’t.

It is no wonder my view of life is somewhat unique.

I spent the majority of my childhood steps behind a woman who never understood “no” and rarely ever said “yes.” There was no time for tears on Mary’s porch, complaining never accomplished anything and weakness was an unwelcome guest. It was on Mary’s porch I learned the fire of independence, the depth of strength and the power of pride.

Over the years, the once well-worn path gave way to greener pastures. My bare feet turned to heels, heels turned to wheels, and wheels turned all over the world.

No matter where I traveled, I saw Proud Mary. I saw

her in empty train stations, dark streets and difficult situations. I heard her voice in conflict, felt her strength in moments of despair and just as the sun would rise, Proud Mary’s blood ran through my veins as a reminder of all that is possible.

Mary isn’t often found in shopping malls, she rarely asks for assistance and she silently applauds the awkward little girl who runs to her porch as often as possible. She isn’t much for lengthy conversations, ceremonial displays or grand social engagements. She is for independence, self-sufficiency and integrity. She lives off the land, for the land and in support of her family. Still mending fences in the Mississippi heat and offering a well-used tool to anyone in need, Proud Mary is the answer to most any question I encounter as a woman. When life is difficult, be stronger. When life is good, be thankful. When something needs done, do it.

Blessings abound as I was raised by the hands of a strong mother under the shield of a strong grandmother.

As important as the air a woman breathes is the character of the women around her. It is my sincere hope that all women have a mother, grandmother, mother-in-law or a sweet surrogate who steps in, steps up and changes your life forever. Remember to thank them this Mother’s Day.

Dying to succeed: Confessions of a workaholic

By Takiya Smith

It has been close to two months since my last article and as I begin to write, I admit that I have missed these moments.

Quiet, private moments where I can put pen to paper and let my soul flow. Since childhood, writing has always been a way of escape, release, peace and expression for me. It’s a God given talent and as I sit here, poolside on a much-needed family vacation, I’m listening to my children’s laughter and the splashing of water, and I now have a newfound purpose to His cause.

Just a week ago I was in the ER, silent but inwardly fearful and believing that I was having a heart attack. Thankfully, after an EKG and some X-rays, I was cleared. However, the underlying cause of my sudden onset of short, painful breaths and tightening in my chest that

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

radiated through my neck, shoulder and left arm were signs of something just as serious. Stress, anxiety and fatigue were my diagnosis. The doctor’s orders: take it easy, give myself a break and relax.

Now, I must admit this is not the first time that this has happened to me, nor is it the first time doctors have said to take a break, yet this time was different. This time, the pain was more severe than ever.

This time, the doctor spoke to me with cause for alarm. This time, it hit home

that if I did not listen, I could die.

That night, and for the next few days to follow, I re-examined my life and priorities.

Since the age of 16, all I have ever done is work. Work to establish myself as a young adult, moving out of a treacherous childhood past. Work at the age of 21, opening and managing my own cleaning company. Work, now as the owner of my own lash and brow spa. Work, work, work, work, work, work, work. Work to support my children. Work to pay the bills. Work to have a future. Work to prove that I am somebody.

Then it hit me. I, Takiya L. Smith, was guilty of being a workaholic. Looking further into my addiction, I realized that after years of succeeding then stumbling, I was working out of fear. Just four years ago, my children and I were homeless.

Even though life has come together

again, I found that I have secretly tucked away a fear of having to experience that again. So I have worked non-stop, with no boundaries or time for myself and no regard for my body’s health and well being. Furthermore, I was disregarding and alienating my parental duties by feeling as if my excuse of working sufficed my letting my children down, my lack of participation, or my expectation of their understanding of my excessive fatigue.

Now, at a state of wisdom and a peace about God being in control of my life, I have made a self-command to set boundaries and live for today so that I can be here tomorrow. I pray that those of you who can relate will make a choice to do the same. Work is in vain if we are not here to enjoy the fruit of our labors. Our lives are at stake, and our loved ones, friends and our community need and count on us.

Special tricycle gives little boy more mobility, freedom

By Marie McAden

Playtime just got a whole lot better for 4-year-old Matthew Boyles. The Ridgeland toddler — incapacitated by a heart attack two years ago — now has a tricycle he can ride.

His occupational therapist arranged for the donation of a specially equipped three-wheeler to provide him with the opportunity to play like other kids his age.

“Over the last one and a half years, he has made slow and steady progress,” said Megan Mack, supervisor of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s HealthLink for Children. “I wanted to give him an ageappropriate activity he could do with his cousins.”

The tricycle was donated to him by the Little Red Dog Foundation, a Beaufortbased nonprofit organization that provides custom-built therapeutic cycles for people with mobility issues. The red three-wheeler features a head rest and chest brace to hold up Matthew’s limp body. His feet are secured onto the pedals with Velcro straps and his hands held to the handlebars with special gloves.

Little Red Dog president Deb Libaire presents Matthew Boyles with his new tryke.

He is joined by his mom and members of the Beaufort Memorial Health Link for Children team. Left to right: Lindsay Corbin, PTA Student; Deb Libaire, Little Red Dog President; Matthew’s mother, Mallory Recchia; Megan Mack, OTR/L, HealthLink Supervisor. Front: Mary Cobbs, DPT, and Matthew Boyles.

Matthew tries out his new wheels.

“We are so grateful for the donation,” said his mother, Mallory Recchia. “It’s made a big difference in his life. He spends 90 percent of his day lying on the couch or being held by someone. This gives him something fun to do.”

Matthew became disabled in June, 2010, after he went into cardiac arrest

Jonah and his whale: Part IV

By Danette Vernon

In coaching clients towards change, I always pull out, at least once, a fourlegged creature that sits on the sky blue table in my office. I point out its four legs: one leg for eating right, another for working towards fitness, a third for thinking well, but the fourth? It’s for willingness. Willingness to change, to grow, without which little can be accomplished.

I once heard author Donald Miller speak, and for him, in his books and in person, there is always a search for God and who He is. And as the years go by, it seems that Don thinks that it is his growth, his opening to life and his opening to others, that is the greatest measure of God’s reflection in his life.

Of course, some use God, or some standard defense, as a veil to hide what they cannot yet admit in themselves. I say “veil” because human frailties are so very hard to hide. They are generally written upon our foreheads for the astute among us to read.

As I consider this veil some would use, I would tell you of what the aborigines describe in the book, “Mutant Message Down Under.” They tell of merely watching us, the rest of the world, as we march“along with our shoes on the wrong feet,” in the name of a misconnection. A misconnection created through a deeply

It is a common misconception that if you have changed your will to reflect life changes, the person(s) newly named to receive your assets will also receive the distributions from your qualified retirement plans. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

In order for your retirement assets to be distributed according to your wishes, a beneficiary designation form is required for all of your qualified retirement accounts.

People grateful for the nurses in their lives can show their gratitude in a personal way. Beaufort Memorial Hospital and The Blood Alliance, its sole provider of blood, are inviting hospital employees and community residents to give the lifesaving gift of blood in honor of a favorite nurse or caretaker at a blood drive.

Organized by BMH nurses as part of their National Nurses Week celebration, the drive will be held at the hospital at 955 Ribaut Road on Thursday, May 10 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and again on Friday, May 11, 7 a.m.-1 p.m.

If they wish, donors can record the name of their honoree on a board at the drive.

The beneficiary form offers the ability to name one or many individuals as recipients, as well as contingency designations.

Additionally, you will determine the percentage of your account that each person is to receive.

Selecting your beneficiaries can be challenging, both emotionally and financially and your beneficiary designation paperwork is an integral part of your estate planning. For these reasons, we would like to meet with you to review your current paperwork, make any necessary changes, and ensure that your legacy is preserved.

presenter Erwin McManus believes, “conquering our city,” doing some great thing God gave us the ability to do — with the short time we have here.

And what is the aborigines’ response to our insistence that we walk along painfully with our shoes on the wrong feet of life, of love? They simply, and kindly, allow us our opportunity to do so. Even God allows us our free will to make mistake after mistake, giving us more and more clues, hoping we will take hold of them, learn.

I think, finally, of those heroes who attend Alcoholics Anonymous; people who truly want change enough, as one friend put it, “to crawl” to get it.

Those who are willing “to crawl,” to do whatever it takes each day to get the change they so desperately need; those willing who lose all their masks, and lift the veils they have set between themselves and the truth, these are the ones who will start the journey across the broad mislaid spaces of the soul that we all have, to the peace God promises, within life’s challenges and adventures.

We never find out what happened to Jonah once his time in recorded history is over. But what of your life, how will the rest of it be written?

How will you finish your time here?

What will you do? Who will you be, to others, to yourself?

IN THEIR BOOTS Air station spouses train like Marines

By Pfc. John Wilkes

Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron and Marine Air Control Squadron 2, Detachment A, held an “In Their Boots” event April 21 aboard the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. The event gave Marine family members a glimpse of some of the training and duties their Marine performs daily.

“This is an opportunity for them to gain some perspective in what it takes to be a Marine,” said Lisa Montanez, Headquarters and Head­ quarters Squadron family readiness officer. “It’s a tough job and our Marines have worked hard, and continue to work hard to be the ul­timate fighting force our nation has to offer.”

Family members participated in events such as: a modified obstacle course, a tour of the air traffic con­trol tower, a modified combat fitness test, aircraft rescue firefighting ac­tivity stations and Marine Corps Martial Arts Program instruction.

According to Montanez, the events were selected based on opportuni­ties available at the Air Station, how informative the event would be, en­tertainment value and most impor­tantly, safety.

The obstacle course was the event I

enjoyed most, said Sherry Cato, a spouse who participated in the event.

“The CFT was much more diffi­cult than I thought it would be,” said Cato. “I was surprised by how heavy the ammo cans were.”

Montanez stated her belief on why it was im­ portant for the spouses to experience the CFT, which stands for

Combat Fitness Test, a required fitness test that is taken once a year.

“Now when their Ma­rine comes home and says they just got a 300 on their CFT, they will know that is a good thing and how dif­fi cult it was to actually ac­ complish,” said Montanez.

Being a Marine is more difficult than it sounds, said Cato.

A static display of air­craft and rescue vehicles used by the Marines on the Air Station were made available for spouses and family members to see. The participants watched demonstrations of explo­sive ordnance disposal and working dog handling.

“They also learned the meaning behind the train­ ing, so that if their Marine deploys they will know the Marine Corps has trained them for situations they may face,” Montanez said.

A perfect day to taste Beaufort Lanier Laney

Main Street Beaufort, USA did a great job this past weekend with the 13th annual A Taste of Beaufort festival.

It began Friday, May 4, during Shaggin’ with A Taste. The Beaufort Shag Club gave lessons on the state dance with live music from The Headliners. Saturday, May 5, started with a 5K race in the morning, then the main festival took over Waterfront Park all day. Although it was hot, there was a nice breeze enjoyed by the more than 5,000 attendees who came for the great food, live music, fun, beer and wine. I heard that the Flash Mob — the YMCA Zumba team — was awesome! Kudos to Androula and LaNelle of Main Street Beaufort, and to all the wonderful restaurants that participated. Here are some pics from Captured Moments Photography.

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

MARTHA & BERNIE SCHEIN counselors of the heart

By Lanier Laney

Both Martha and Bernie Schein are well-known in their fields for the remarkable success they have had working with children and adults. In Martha’s case, helping them release their present and past trauma, and in Bernie’s, helping them to unlock their creative abilities. Amazingly, they arrived at the same crossroad in therapy by coming from two totally different trainings.

Martha, a Greenville, N.C., native, Bernie and Martha Schein. got a PhD. from the Fielding Graduate Institute in Clinical Psychology and has and how they learned. It’s called “If Holden done individual and couples therapy since Caulfield Were In My Classroom,” and he’s 1989. Most recently, she worked at Parris been on the national lecture circuit and Island, where she treated solders with Post doing book signings around the country Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), for since the book’s publication.

Says Bernie, “I hated school growing two and a half years. up, the boredom of it, the lack of true In talking about her technique, Martha passion and emotion. So I wanted to says, “In working with trauma victims in Atlanta and Parris Island, I put together create for kids the classroom they never a group of approaches that allow the had, one inspiring and personal, to bring client to let go of past bad experiences in out their creativity, their passion, their a remarkable easy manner. Because so intelligence. From there, I began working many themes in our adult lives are based with teachers and parents and just adults on templates we set in place as children, I interested in being ‘brought out’ creatively, also like to work on releasing the intensity emotionally, intellectually, and socially. For of feelings that childhood experiences over 40 years, I’ve marveled at how much can leave. This approach works much wisdom is inside each of us, all of us, kids better, I believe, than learning to cope with and adults, and it’s dying to come out, to symptoms. When the early patterns are be expressed. It’s still amazing to me. Yet released, the adult manifestations of these formal education ignores it.”

Bernie does workshops for kids, adults experiences also are gone. Basically, I believe in clearing past and current trauma. These and whole families as a writing teacher processes can often be effective in a few or a counselor on other issues that clients sessions, with deeper issues taking a few can be “locked” on. Bernie believes most months. What is fascinating is watching creative problems originate with wrong how quickly people, particularly children, decisions made in childhood around can let go of their anger and sadness using traumatic events. And that these psychic wounds can be released and then the these same approaches.”

Bernie, a Beaufort native, got his Masters creativity will flow. Says Bernie, “That’s in Education from Harvard and worked as where the stories are. Childhood is where a school principal in South Carolina and you mine them, if you’re serious, that’s Mississippi before he became a renowned where the tears and laughter originate, and teacher of writing and literature and where the stories come full circle.”

Bernie uses his best childhood friend social studies at Atlanta’s most prestigious growing up, Pat Conroy, as an example. private school. He wrote a book about the kids in his classroom, how he taught them, “The greatness of his writing is directly

‘BERNIE’S BEST’ for sale Bernie’s hobby is gardening and he has an amazing green thumb. This summer and fall he will offer up for sale for the first time “Bernie’s Best,” the organic heirloom tomatoes he’s famous for growing, at his new tomato stand in front of his house. It’s in the driveway of 503 Waight Street, off Ribaut Road and North Street west of downtown. And also at the stand at Griffin’s Market on Carteret St.

proportionate to the greatness of his suffering, which is directly proportionate to his need to express it and to understand it,” he said.

Bernie is descended from several distinguished Jewish families. His grandfather Samuel Schein came to Beaufort in 1896 and married Esther Mark. Beaufort had a large Russian immigrant community at the time, which Mayor Billy Keyserling’s grandmother was also a part of.

In the 1920’s, Bernie’s father opened Schein’s Grocery store on the corner of Prince and Bladen streets. It sat on the border between the African-American Northwest Quadrant neighborhood to the north and the all white bluff community to the south.

Says Bernie, “From that grocery store I grew up in have come a million stories, all of which I think are uniquely surprising, and which I spend much of my time speaking and writing about.”

Bernie has just completed a wonderful new novel that includes the best of his stories about growing up in Beaufort. It’s called “Famous All Over Town” and will be available next year.

Bernie met Martha, his wife of 41 years, at a graduate school party at USC. Says Bernie with a smile, “I was already in love with myself, Martha fell in love with me, so it was evident early on our

feelings were mutual.”

They raised two children. Lara Alexander is a teacher who is married and has two kids. Maggie Schein, who lives in Beaufort, is a philosopher and ethicist and freelance writer with a PhD. She works as an educational consultant and also as a counselor. Her novel, “Lost Cantos of The Oroborous Caves,” is due out this year.

Martha and Bernie decided to move back to Beaufort from Atlanta in 2006.

They came back, says Martha, “because it was Bernie’s hometown and he couldn’t wait to get back. Now, I can’t decide on any vacations because it is so beautiful here. I also find the most amazing collection of people here — their interests, attitudes and life perspectives.”

Adds Bernie, “I hated not being here.

This is home, and it’s so enchantingly lovely and I love seeing the people with whom I grew up and I think the new people add a lot too.”

As far as the future is concerned, Bernie says he “intends to continue writing about and telling Beaufort stories in whatever venue avails itself to me.” (In June he’ll be speaking at the Alzheimer’s Fundraiser).

He also plans to keep teaching individuals and groups on the side. Martha now has her own successful private practice counseling both adults and children in Port Royal.

Together, they are bringing a lot of good healing back to Beaufort as “counselors of the heart.”

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

District announces 2012-13 Teachers of the Year Beaufort County School District teachers were treated with balloons, flowers, and proclamations today as members of the Board of Education and District senior staff made surprise visits to each teacher’s classroom to announce the 2012-2013 Teachers of the Year.

Teachers of the Year are selected by their peers following criteria established by the schools, the district’s Teacher Forum and the SC Department of

Why have a mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center?

A suspicious mammogram can make any woman anxious, but Jess Laboy was terrified. She’d already endured the loss of two family members to breast cancer. Unnerved at the prospect of waiting days for ultrasound results, she chose Beaufort Memorial and got results the very same day. Jess was grateful for every second free of worrying and waiting, and for more time to celebrate with her family.

To schedule your mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center, call (843) 522-5015.

BHS girls varsity soccer team rocks

On Monday, May 7, the Beaufort High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team faced off against the White Knoll Timberwolves for the first round game in the Class 4-A playoffs.

With intensity on the field and some great saves by the goalie, the score was 0-0 at the half. Then the Lady Eagles turned up the heat and won 2-1.

Coming into the playoffs, the girls had an undefeated regional record and had allowed only one goal against them in the eight previous games.

The stands at the field at Beaufort Middle School were full of proud parents and enthusiastic supporters of these dedicated, hard working athletes.

We wish continued success to the team and Coaches Terry Rawlins and Eric Taylor, but regardless of the outcome, we recognize the effort and teamwork it took just to make it to the playoffs. The girls’ achievements make them winners, and hopefully an inspiration to the whole community.

Growing up in Beaufort, Christin Hirleman never thought “the one” would be a military man from her same small town.“Never say never,” Christin’s mother Cheryl always told her.

Then one night, on the 4th of July, Christin’s best friend from high school dragged her out to Saltus where she met Justin Daubert, Operations Officer of the 5th Ranger Training Battalion.

Talking all night at the bar, never once suspecting love, Justin asked Christin to walk along the waterfront. The next night they met again; and again the next day, bringing sandwiches from Alvin Ord’s to Old Sheldon Church before parting ways to two different cities. After three weeks of talking back and forth, Christin visited Justin in Georgia and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Often, the two would visit vineyards in the countryside, which is why Justin dropped down on one knee in the middle of their favorite vineyard with a ring he had custom designed. The date of their spring wedding was chosen according to the availability of photographer Amy of Elev8 Studio. “That was the first thing I booked,” said Christin.

“We wanted a Lowcountry wedding,” Christin said. Justin’s family has lived in Beaufort for over 30 years. It was only natural that they’d have their wedding ceremony in his mother Barb’s backyard — one often compared to the likes of

Christin Hirleman and Justin Daubert tie the knot in Beaufort in April.

Southern Living magazine — sprawling with flowers and live oaks that corner the river. As tradition, this would also mean six different engagement parties: an engagement party at Christmas, an oyster roast in January, a “stock the bar” shower in February, another shower in March, a bachelorette party, and a rehearsal dinner.

Jody Miller of Fandango Productions gifted her creative services to Justin, her good friend from high school. Antique washed windows hung from the oak where Justin and Christin said their vows.

Coral chandeliers hung from the white reception tent with accents of burlap and a monogrammed dance floor. Comrades in military uniform bridged a path for the newlyweds with swords.

After so much preparation and celebration, the big day came and went.

Yet the fleeting wedding day marked the journey of the newlyweds’ everlasting love. When she least expected it, to whom she least expected it, where she least expected it, Christin found love within her Southern roots.

LITTLE BITS OF ROYAL CHATTER

By Peggy Chandler

Have you met the Wilsons? If not, let me tell you about Cathy and Bob. They transplanted from Connecticut about five years ago and now reside in Royal Pines on Wade Hampton Drive. They met in New York City while working in advertising. Bob and Cathy married, had three children — Christopher, John and Abby — and they now have three little granddaughters: Caitlin, Mackensey Peggy and Morgan. Cathy Chandler refers to them as her “dollies.”

Bob is a volunteer at the Verdier House on Bay Street, a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and The Knights of Columbus. While Bob can be found most days at his computer working on Ancestry.com, he has many other topics that interest him. If you need a trivia answer on most topics, Bob is your man. He has a wealth of knowledge on a variety of subjects stored up and is able to recall immediately. Amazing.

Cathy’s interests differ from Bob’s. She loves to watch tennis (live at all hours of the night), dine out (at any time, any place) and gardening. She is especially fond of her cat “Puddy Pie” that she treats like a princess. Mrs. Wilson is known for her unusual sleep pattern

2009 Kawasaki NINJA

Bob and Cathy Wilson.

and can be found taking her morning constitutional around 4 p.m. when the rest of Royal Pines is winding down for the day.

Cathy and Bob have been dinner guests at our house and at the homes of other Royal Pines friends. They are great dinner guests who keep the conversation going and are always interesting. There is only one topic we avoid — politics!

(I still hold out some hope for them!)

I have said on many occasions that the Wilsons are the salt and pepper at dinner parties, as they are as important to any meal as salt and pepper.

Cathy and Bob have many long time friends and there is not doubt why.

They are a wonderful couple whom I am happy to know.

Boys & Girls Clubs look to raise money, stay afloat A committee of Beaufort community leaders has united to raise $200,000 before September 30 to keep the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Beaufort Area open for the summer and the future. In the past five years, a slumping economy, decreased donations, fewer grants and higher than expected operating expenses of the former teen center have drained reserve funds.

“Committee members have recognized the positive impact the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Beaufort Area have had on generations of Beaufort children and they are motivated to raise the money needed to secure operations,” Chris Protz, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry, said. “Most recently, the club was instrumental in improving reading levels among its members — this accomplishment is one of many ways the clubs are there to improve the quality of life and futures for its members.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Beaufort Area have been consolidated into two clubs. The Sheldon Club is located at 21

Agnes Major Road. The Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort, at 1100 Boundary St., serves younger members and has a separate entrance for the Beaufort Teen Club.

“Along with nonprofits nationwide, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry has found itself in the midst of a perfect storm,” Protz said. “We have increased demand for our services. At the same time, donations have dropped off due to the current economy.”

“We are fortunate our board members had the foresight to merge the former Teen Center, located on Harrington Street, with the club on Boundary Street last year. Unfortunately, the depressed real estate market left the former Teen Center building empty for more than a year.”

Karen Golden, chairman of the Board of the Directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry — the parent organization of the Beaufort Clubs — organized a fundraising task group, comprised of community leaders to lead the charge to save the two Beaufort clubs.

n.c. man rides bike for boys & girls clubs in the south The Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort welcomed Dr. Dennis Ross, an orthodontist from Greenville, N.C., Friday, May 4. Ross took a break from his 1,200 bicycle fundraising journey to meet the club members, speak about healthy choices and raise money for area clubs.

Currently, the Beaufort Fundraising Task Group includes D.C. Gilley, Dr. Charles Kresch, Malcolm Goodridge, Marlena Smalls, Chilton Simmons, Roland Gardner, Elizabeth McMillen and Herman Gaither.

“This campaign is the beginning of a three-year business plan,” Protz said. “We first need to stabilize the clubs, reduce more operating expenses to balance the

Keeping the county clean

budget, recruit a larger base of influential board members and develop a resource development plan which reflects goals adapted for the times.

“We are committed to providing services for our community’s children now and for years to come,” Protz said. “However, just like everyone in the nation, we need to establish a new normal so our revenues meet our expenses.”

“We Need To Talk About Kevin”” from The Indie Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, May 14 at 7 p.m.

Synopsis: A suspenseful and gripping psychological thriller, “We Need to Talk About Kevin” explores the factious relationship between a mother, Eva, and her son, Kevin. Eva contends for 17 years with the increasing malevolence of her first-born child. The film explores nature vs. nurture on a whole new level, as Eva’s own culpability is measured against Kevin’s innate evilness. The audience is left to judge, who is at fault?

Previewer Comments: This is not a “feel good” film about the average American family in the 1950’s as portrayed on television shows of old.

Instead, it is a masterful blend of drama and horror, with intense and fantastic performances across the board. Tilda Swinton, as the mother, Eva, delivers one of her very best ever, in a bracing, tourde-force performance. If this hadn’t been an Indie film she surely would have been nominated for an Oscar. This film evokes the question of the very cause of good versus evil. Whose fault is it that Kevin continues on a path of disturbance and harm from a young child to a teenager bent on hurting? The audience is sucked into the prevailing rational, that how Kevin turns out must be due to the parent(s) and the family environment the child experienced. It raises the specter of angst uttered by most parents during hard child rearing times: “What did I do wrong?” The answer may be, in spite of our imperfections, nothing.

Rated: Rated R for violence and language. Suitable for mature audiences.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens an hour before the show.

Beaufort’s Relay for Life made great strides in cancer research around Beaufort Middle School’s track throughout the night of April 27.

Hundreds of citizens participated in the overnight event to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those lost, and raise money for the American Cancer Society. But, the entire event would not be possible without Linda and Joe Arp, who stepped up to the challenge and have made Relay a reality in Beaufort the past two years.

One afternoon Linda, a three-year breast cancer survivor, was approached by a representative from the American Cancer Society at one of her Beaufort Belles support group meetings to become the chairperson of Beaufort’s Relay for Life event.

“Linda said, ‘Yea, but my husband’s going to all the work,’ ” Joe, Linda’s husband, joked.

So for the next two years, the personable pair volunteered an enormous amount of time and energy into bringing their community together in the fight against cancer.

Joe said there were 56 teams this year, each with captains who attended monthly meetings. There were also a number of committee chairs who would meet twice a month, volunteering their time outside of work to help Beaufort meet its goal of raising $105,000.

Students from Beaufort Elementary School walk the track at Relay for Life, an overnight event held in April to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Each team came up with creative, fun ways to raise money for the American Cancer Society — from yard sales, car washes, poker runs, spaghetti dinners, wine tastings to selling Boston butts and custom-designed T-shirts.

“Without teams, Relay wouldn’t exist,” Joe said.

The local schools played a large role this year in particular. Lady’s Island Middle School, for example, raised more than $5,000 Beaufort Relay for Life has raised just under $88,000 so far with a few months left to reach its goal. (Donations can still be made to help Beaufort’s Relay for Life online at www.relayforlife.org/beaufortsc.)

Cancer touches the lives of many people, and Relay brings the community together for one lively

night to walk the track and celebrate life. This year there were many performers, live entertainment, games, dunking booths, a Miss Relay Pageant and team members dressed in costume according to the theme: Curing Cancer Across the Decades.

“It’s awesome to see people who’ve battled and fought cancer and continue to battle and fight cancer walk the first lap,” said Joe. With the successful event behind them, it’s now time for Joe and Linda to pass on the torch, Relay style. Joe is excited for the new chairperson, Charlie Hollie. Charlie’s parents are both cancer survivors.

“He’s in it for personal reasons, he’s a go-getter, and he’s going to be a great chair next year,” Joe said.

Land Trust celebrates another successful year On Wednesday, April 18, more than 150 people gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of the Open Land Trust at Historic Penn Center. The event marked the 41st year of the organization and its members.

Executive Director Patty Kennedy lauded the 4,600 acres of land protected in 2011 by the trust, bringing its total land protected to 19,700 acres in Beaufort and surrounding counties.

“The Land Trust works hand in hand with Beaufort County’s Rural and Critical Land Program, the City of Beaufort, as well as the Marine Corps Air Station and Natural Resource Conservation Service to expand land conservation efforts for all areas of the county; we are so thankful for these partnerships and thrilled at the success achieved because of them,” she said.

Kennedy provided highlights of work being done on park and open space planning, rural and farmland protection, air station buffering and conservation of lands on rivers and streams which drain into the county. Dean Moss, president of the board of directors, thanked numerous volunteers, both individuals and groups, who contribute to the success of the organization.

The keynote speaker for the event was Walter Mack, executive director

BRICKS ON BOUNDARY

history with holly

By Michael Graves

Beaufort Then & Now

On Easter Sunday morning 1970, a bad hail storm hit Beaufort and the Sea Islands. The “golf ball” sized hail stones broke out many windows on cars, churches, businesses and homes. Our home on Lady’s Island only had one window to get totally busted out.

It happened to be the one over my bed. Luckily for me, I had gotten up during the night and was in my parents’ bed when the storm hit. When I went into my room the next morning, my bed was covered with broken glass and hail stones. Some of the big pieces of glass were stuck into the mattress. My parents said they didn’t know what made me come into their room that night, but were sure glad that I did, and so was I.

lunch bunch

The proper way to eat scones and hold a cup and saucer at

AFTERNOON TEA

By Pamela Brownstein

Did you know that you never pick up your saucer if you’re sitting down? And that you are supposed to pinch the handle of your tea cup with your pinky out, not up?

The Lunch Bunch learned these etiquette tips and other proper ways to enjoy afternoon tea from Manchester, England, native Collette Wright.

She has partnered with Hank Herring, the owner of the Green Herring Art & Gallery, located at 1001 Bay St., at the corner of Charles and Bay streets in the heart of downtown. Herring — a talented artist and an all-around charming person and fascinating storytelling — said it’s the perfect pairing because you can leisurely eat and drink while also admiring the art in the gallery.

Collette had brewed Yorkshire tea and decaf Irish Black tea. She instructed us to pour until the tea cup is 3/4 full. Sugar cubes, lemon wedges, honey and skim milk are all acceptable additions to your tea (except don’t mix milk and lemon). With the dainty spoon — always placed on the right side of the saucer — you silently stir by moving the spoon back and forth, not in a circle, being careful not to loudly clang

The first step is to select a unique tea cup.

For dessert: strawberries and cream over Victoria’s sponge cake, named for Queen Victoria who introduced the cake to help absorb wine.

against the sides of the cup. She reminded us, “This isn’t an IHOP.” I added lemon and sugar to the Yorkshire Tea and found it light and refreshing. I even poured several cups; afternoon tea is all about relaxation so you can sip at your own pace and serve yourself.

The spread Collette had prepared was ideal for a light lunch. The variety of finger sandwiches included cheese and onion,

plain cheese (made with Irish cheddar), tomato, plain cucumber, and cucumber with malt vinegar. Wedges of shortbread and English biscuits with chocolate will satisfy a sweet tooth. We learned the proper way to eat scones, which were raisin or blueberry infused with cranberry juice. You cut the scone in half, then spread either jam, butter or clotted cream in the middle, then eat each half whole, not in pieces.

Two tiers of scones.

Although the portions were small, we felt full after sampling all the delicious fare. But we couldn’t pass up the dessert: Strawberries and cream over sponge cake.

Tea will be served at the gallery Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. The food is available by reservation only. Contact Collette for “An English Afternoon” at 843-812-6364, or email marcolfar@gmail.com, or online at www.anenglishafternoon.com. She is also available for private parties.

Bill’s Q LI

All Liquor Stores Are NOT Created Equal.

R

For this month’s tastings, my friends on Hilton Head decided to sample Malbecs and, because it falls to me to pick the wines, we had quite a variety.

Most of us have come to know Malbecs as wines from Argentina. In fact, that’s where most of the Malbec wines we see are from, but not where the grape originated or where all its wines are made. Doing a tasting of just Argentine Malbecs is interesting, but not necessarily the only way to go. And tasting just Argentine Malbec wines can give you a really limited view of what this grape can taste like. You know, because you’ve heard me say it before, at tastings like this there has to be some common ground so that the wines show on a level field. The first field that needs to be leveled for a tasting, after you pick the wine/grape, is the price. It wouldn’t be fair to line up six Malbecs with retail prices from $6 to $106. We all know which one we’d like the best. So, today’s wines range in price from $10 to $15. Mostly from Argentina because there are more of those to choose, but a couple of others.

The price range is more important, for this group at least, because that’s a big part of deciding if we’ll buy the wine.

The tasting starts with a little bit of “Malbec” information. This is a dark purple grape that gives its wines an inky color and robust tannins. Originally, it was one of the six varieties allowed in Bordeaux red wines. (It’s still one of the five now allowed.) This is a thin-skinned grape so it needs more sun and heat to ripen properly, more than either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. It ripens mid-season which makes it fit well in the harvest schedule. Its wine can be intense, dark ruby or purple colored, richly textured (some call the wines “juicy”) with ample tannins. (Remember Argentina is full of beef dinners!) Malbec is susceptible to several vine diseases but, when not effected by any of these, it is a high yielding vine. For a while in Argentina, this high yield made for lighter, less distinct wines, but they have learned that pruning is a good thing.

And, on to the wines we go. I’ll give them to you in the order we tasted them, with our comments, and,

1.75lt

of these1 that it is 3 2 S ewe a I can s l a nget. d P aIr chose k w a y .this 5 2 2one - 3 7 0because 0 so distinctive. Really a deep purply pink color, this wine is a full-bodied rose. It was a surprise to most of our tasters today, but they dove right in. We all thought this is a great picnic wine, great for cold dinners on hot summer nights, and just plain fun. Really, it’s full enough to enjoy with grilled salmon too.

Marc Roman Malbec is from the Languedoc region of France. The price on this wine is a bit below our $10 to $15 field, but we do have a really good deal on it and, unfortunately, it’s the only French Malbec we had. This wine is a lighter style Malbec, but shows the smooth, juicy texture the grape is capable of and the rich, plummy flavors. We all agreed that for everyday drinking, this is one of the best wines we’ve ever had.

Mountain Door Malbec is next in line. One of the fun parts about these tastings is that no matter how many times you’ve had one of the wines, it will always taste a bit different in a line of competitors. And, again, a bit lower than our price field, but only because of our deal on it. This wine was a crowd pleaser. A bit fuller bodied than the Marc Roman, it is still juicy textured with a richness in your mouth. Yes, you get the plum flavor and other dark fruits as well (blueberry, black raspberry).

Peirano Malbec from California is next. Yikes, you should have seen the reaction to just the idea of a California Malbec. There are more and more of them showing up, and really, some wineries have made them for years. As a blending grape in many of the California “meritage” style wines, Malbec has been grown there for

decades. As its wines became more popular, California growers knew they had to get into the game. Peirano Malbec is a bigger, fuller style wine, really rich with California sun ripening. Looking back, I maybe should have not told everyone where this wine was from. It was so close to Argentine style they may never have guessed. So think red meat with this one.

Catena Padrillos Malbec takes us back to Argentina.

Personally, I love this wine. But, don’t go by what I like — I chose all these wines just so I could have some of each. (I only pretend to choose them to make a good tasting for everyone else.) This one is a bit more structured, meaning there’s a bit more tannin mixed in with the underlying juicy texture. Still similar flavors but a bit more tightly wrapped. (Makes the wines sound like they could be people, doesn’t it?)

Antigal Uno Malbec is a most recognizable bottle.

For those of you who didn’t take even a week of Spanish 101 in school, “uno” is one and this wine has a big metal tag on the front of it that is a numeral one. When we see this kind of great merchandising, we have to wonder if the wine is any good. So often a great label is just hype. But not this time! This Malbec is really good.

Of all of the wines we tasted, we all thought this one was the most spicy. But good smooth flavors, tannins for red meat — the whole package.

Reginato Sparkling Malbec was our last wine.

Again rose in color, but the bubbles make a difference.

The wine is clean and crisp with red fruit flavors. A great finish to our tasting, although we all thought it would have tasted just as good at the beginning. One couple is going to use this wine for all their dinner parties as a welcome to their guests at the door. Sure do hope I get invited!

So, there they are — our seven Malbecs — in their various shapes and sizes. We were truly impressed with all of them, each of us for our own reasons, and, of course, we each had our own favorite ... or two or three.

The best part was hearing what everyone else thought because then we had to re-taste to see if we agreed. Yay for wine tastings!

Enjoy.

This Mother’s Day ... think pink!

By Terry Sweeney

You know rosé (ro-zay) for so many years had quite the bad rep. There were so many mass-produced cheap floozies out there over the years that you wouldn’t even think of ever bringing one home to meet mother! Too many bad experiences with that infamous trollopy trio of Boone’s Farm, Riunite and White Zinfandel had left us jaded and with the feeling we got ripped off by those boozy working girls; waking up the next day with our heads hurting and our wallets missing. Never again we said!

But good news, nowadays, far across the ocean on beautiful beaches in St. Tropez: There are French men and women washing down rosés that are spicy with fine virginal berry flavors, bone-dry yet with a flirtatious edge that makes them the perfect dance partner for the more seasoned garlicky seafood dishes of Southern France and beautifully pair with the wild herbs and olive oil that permeate so many of their dishes.

I once had a rosé from Chateau D’ Aqueria that a friend brought back that I still think about. (Maybe because he

brought back the bottle as a supposed gift for me then proceeded to gulp down 90% of it while bragging about how he drank it morning, noon and Terry night in France! Hey Sweeney buddy, when am I ever gonna get to St. Tropez to get another glass of this stuff?! Thanks for nothing!)

Still, now it seems not only the French, but the Italians too have jumped on the rosé band wagon. Rosé is the perfect bridge between the reds of the cold, long winters and the zippy whites of the hot, steamy summers. That’s what make it the perfect drink for spring/early summer and why Europeans all begin drinking it in their respective countries around May. As soon as spring has sprung in their lands, out come the light, bright refreshing rosés. Hey! Isn’t that what your momma could use coming in from the warm afternoon sun after fussing over her new spring blooms? But which one should your momma be drinking?

Here are my top three affordable pink wine suggestions: FROM FRANCE:Aime Roquesante Rose — A pale salmon-colored beauty that balances scrumptious fruit with a refreshing acidity. It’s the kind of rosé that Provence is known for and is a delightful mix of three grapes. One sip and your mother will feel like you sent her on an all-expense-paid trip to the Mediterranean. But you know you only spent $13 dollars!

FROM ITALY: Banfi Centine Rosé — Just seeing the name of Banfi on a bottle — one of Tuscany’s best known and respected producers — and you know you are about to taste an extraordinary, yet subtle, refreshing wine that is a combination of Sangiovesese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. There is a luscious Champagne-like yeastiness to this beautiful wine that will keep your mama coming back for more. (Better take her car keys!) Also $13.

BACK TO FRANCE: Madame Fleur Rosé — OK, so I went back to

France! But via Whole Foods. This has the square “365” logo that tells you somehow they got into the mix and slapped on their label. Don’t let that scare your wallet shut. This pale pink elixir is the cheapest rosé yet ($8). With a whiff of strawberries on the nose and with its youthful acidity, this refreshing young girl could be the perfect lady companion for old Mum. But in case it’s for young, vibrant, middle-aged you, you can dig in and sit on the dock of your house and belt back buckets of this stuff and still keep your wits about you. (Let somebody else keep your kids about them!)

So whether you’re mom to a posse of kids, a dog, or a cat, or even a bird, take time to sit back, kick up your feet and take in this beautiful spring Mother’s Day with a glass, or better yet a gallon, of rosé. Hey, you only get this one day off all year! And if you’re the son or the daughter of the aforementioned mother, for God’s sake, she doesn’t need a new pair of pink fuzzy slippers. What she needs is that other pink stuff. Now be a good kid and go get it!

Cheers!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

Pathogens du jour

S

ixteen years ago I began a gradual process of learning to, as I call it, “eat clean.” That means I do not purchase packaged, processed foods, nor do I purchase my proteins anywhere but from a source where I have personally met the farmer and the animals that are going to sacrifice for me. Shortly thereafter I began clean feeding my pets, too.

Eating clean is becoming the new mantra in certain circles. What with the most recent recalls on some of the “better” kibbles, eating clean should be taking on a whole new dynamic and should be something we all need to consider. Diamond Pet Foods, a Missouri-based pet food company, recently voluntarily recalled many brands of dry dog food because of Salmonella contamination. (Visit http://www. cdc.gov/widgets/FoodSafety/alt for the complete list of recalled foods.)

Production was suspended on April 8 at the Gaston plant in South Carolina where the possibly contaminated food was produced, the same plant that made mold-contaminated food in 2005 that killed dozens of dogs nationwide. The Gaston plant is a co-packer for dozens of well-known “premium” brands.

Bottom line: food that is made in factories and animals that are raised on factory farms brew up nasty little germs. These microbes appear to live quite happily all over the place. The trick to avoiding contact is due diligence in food handling, plain old common sense and learning where your, and your pets’,

BowWOW!

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www. wholedog.biz.

What with the most recent recalls on some of the “better” kibbles, eating clean should be taking on a whole new dynamic and should be something we all need to consider. food comes from.

As you know, I am a proponent for feeding dogs real food as much as it is financially feasible. And as you know, I think kibble, even the best, is still junk food processed from mysterious body parts creamed with chemicals in factories that may or may not have good cleaning crews. Yes, kibble mix is heated to high temperatures before it is extruded into tasty shapes, but has the tubing it runs through been sterilized between batches? Apparently not in the Diamond factory.

If you are a reasonably tidy sort and you manage hygienically what foods go into your family—and your dog is family, too—then you can be fairly content knowing that Salmonella is probably not going to be an issue. If your food came from a reputable source

(hopefully, a local farm), if you handle it properly and prepare it well, whether you choose to feed raw or choose to cook for your Best Friend, you should not be faced with the symptoms.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. If your dog is feeling punky, pay attention to what’s in his bowl and what’s on his bowl. (When was the last time you ran Dog’s bowls

through the dishwasher?) Also know that infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans.

The whole food vs. pathogen contamination comes down to common sense and good hygiene practices when handling your dog’s food: • Store raw food in the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator • Store kibble, in small amounts in a sealed container out of reach of children: freeze the rest, don’t park it in the hot garage • Don’t allow children to handle the dog’s food. If they do, make sure they wash their hands afterward • Properly wash hands, all bowls, utensils and contact surfaces after handling the dog’s food (kibble or raw) • Limit time raw food is held at room temperature during feeding to less than an hour in this heat and dispose of food left out for periods longer than this.

Common sense check — would you eat a tuna sandwich that sat on the counter for eight hours?

• Pick up your dog’s poop and always wash your hands with soap and warm water afterward. Do I need to remind you?
