What started out as two men watching an air show and just chit-chatting, ended up engaging hundreds of volunteers to pick up buckets and brushes and take part in a major spring cleaning at Beaufort National Cemetery without any formal planning or strategy. Craig Arsell, Director of the Beaufort National Cemetery, said Sgt. David Terry was standing next to him while watching the Blue Angels in the MCAS air show recently and the two began talking. When Sgt.Terry learned Arsell was the
cemetery’s new director, he asked what he could do as a volunteer. Craig quipped, “Come wash all 21,000 head stones”. David, an aviation technician with MALS 31 at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, took the challenge and ran with it. Originally he got the Marines in his shop to sign up to help. But he ended up with hundreds of volunteers willingly scrubbing away. Some had learned about the effort through mutual friends. Others learned about it through the MCAS Public Affairs Office, or by television clips
or from social media and they simply showed up ready to help. Craig said it only took four weeks to get things organized from start to finish. Craig said the clean-up involves more than just washing headstones. It encourages community involvement and provides a wonderful “teaching moment for our kids”. David agreed adding, “It really feels great. This cemetery is part of history. It’s for the living, not the dead. This place is a CEMETERY continued on page 5
“CHAMPIONS AGAIN!”

Less than five minutes into the second half, the rain came. The wind picked up too, and it looked like the tropical storm that threatened to postpone SCISA’s Soccer Championship on May 9th, at Porter-Gaud School in Charleston, may have finally arrived. Trailing 0-1 to Hilton Head Prep, the Beaufort Academy boys’ soccer team struggled to keep possession and string together the passing combinations that had created several good firsthalf chances, and allowed the Eagles
to rack up a 15-3 record and the #1 overall seed in the play-offs. Fortunately the bad weather only lasted five minutes, and the return of the sunshine saw BA re-take control of the match. Ryan Muniz made the first of a series of devastating runs down the left flank, but the turning point came off a cross from right-winger Jack Olsson. As the Prep defenders began to focus more attention on stopping Muniz, BA’s central midfield trio of Ross Walker, EAGLES continued on page 15
Drummond Koppernaes and Thomas Roddey celebrate after the game.
The boys’ victory on Saturday gave Beaufort Academy its 49th overall state championship during its 50 year history, and was the school’s 25th state title in boys soccer. In addition, BA boys’ soccer holds the SCISA (South Carolina Independent School Association) record for the most championships in a single sport.

Are you planning on buying or selling your house after August 1st? Beaufort County Association of REALTORS® (BCAR) wants you to be aware of the new Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) changes which will take effect August 1, 2015. The changes will significantly change the closing process. On November 20, 2013, the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued its final rule to integrate RESPA and TILA disclosures and regulations. The final rule integrates existing disclosures with new requirements from the Dodd-Frank Act to improve consumer understanding of the mortgage process, aid in comparison shopping and help to prevent zsurprises at the closing table. Highlights of the new rule include: • A new loan estimate document which replaces the Good Faith Estimate and the initial Truth in Lending disclosure. • A new closing disclosure document which replaces and combines the HUD-1 and final Truth in Lending disclosures. • Loan Estimates must now be given to consumers within 3 business days of applying for the loan.
• Types of loans covered include most closed-end consumer mortgage loans. The rule does not apply to home equity lines of credit, reverse mortgages, mortgages secured by mobile homes or by dwellings not attached to the property and creditors who make five or fewer mortgage loans in one year. BCAR suggests those who intend to buy or sell real estate after July should contact their law firm as soon as possible to discuss how the new federal laws, closing procedures and documents could potentially cause closing delays. “It’s extremely important that Realtors® and consumers understand these new procedures so that there are no surprises at the closing table,” said Janet Gresham, CEO of the Beaufort County Association of REALTORS®.
Invite a senior to Sunday dinner Rachel Carson is on a mission to see more families share sit-down Sunday dinners with their senior loved ones. The reason? New research shows half of families surveyed, who lived near their aging families, felt they didn’t share enough meals with them and were losing an important family connection. “For seniors, it’s not what’s on their plate that matters most at mealtime – it’s who is at the table with them,” said Carson, owner of the local Home Instead Senior Care® office. “When seniors share meals with a companion, they have a better mealtime experience – both nutritionally and emotionally.” Almost 75 percent of the people surveyed said they only sit down for a family meal with senior loved ones for special occasions, events or holidays. They say a big part of the problem is time – both not having enough of it and 2
conflicting schedules. To encourage families to make time for these meals, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation® will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels America (up to $20,000 total through July 31, 2015) for each person that commits to regularly scheduling family dinners at www. SundayDinnerPledge.com. Doing this does two things. First, it reunites families over a shared meal and two; it will help to ensure other seniors will have a quality meal through the Meals on Wheels program.
the island news | may 14-20, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
“We hope families will make the pledge to either revive or begin new mealtime traditions with their senior loved ones,” Carson said. “This small commitment can have a big impact on a senior’s well-being.” To help families across the country host their own Sunday dinner, Home Instead Senior Care has partnered with celebrity chef, and mother of four, Melissa d’Arabian to develop easy, nutritious recipes. Additional resources include tips for how to involve seniors in meal planning and preparation, pre- and post-dinner activities and meal plans for healthy, inexpensive meals that all generations can enjoy. For these free resources and more information on how you can bring back the Sunday dinner and reconnect with your senior loved ones, visit www. SundayDinnerPledge.com or call Home Instead Senior Care at 912-355-0099.

Beaufort firefighters use special nozzle to attack Mossy Oaks attic fire Monday Beaufort-Port Royal firefighters used a special tool to fight an attic fire in Mossy Oaks Monday, allowing them to quickly extinguish the blaze with minimal damage to the house and no injuries to anyone. Neighbors of the Mystic Circle property alerted dispatch about the fire at 3 p.m. Monday. When firefighters arrived moments later, flames already were billowing from the roof at the rear of the house. “We entered the structure using a normal nozzle, and we backed it up with a special attachment designed for attic fires called the ‘Attic Fire Attack
Suppression Technology,’ or AFAST for short,” said Capt. John Robinson of the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department. The AFAST nozzle allows a very small crew of firefighters to easily get water into most attics right where it needs to go, while minimizing the risk and property damage, Robinson said. Firefighters got the blaze under control within minutes and continued to extinguish hot spots for about an hour. No one was home at the time of the fire. The Beaufort/Port Royal fire departments were aided by the Burton Fire District and Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital expands oncology services Beaufort Memorial Hospital has opened a new oncology practice headed by longtime Lowcountry Medical Group oncologist Marcus Newberry III, MD, along with a new chemotherapy and infusion center. Located on the main hospital campus, Beaufort Memorial Oncology Specialists offers treatment for a wide array of cancers, as well as benign hematological conditions. The practice moved to the newly renovated Suite 310 on the third floor of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Rd. earlier this week. As a board-certified internist, Newberry helped found Lowcountry Medical Group in 1997. After practicing internal medicine for six years, he returned to school and completed a fellowship in medical
oncology at the Medical University of South Carolina. He has been practicing medical oncology at the recently renamed Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Dr. Marcus Newberry, MD Group since 2004. In addition to treating cancer patients, Newberry will provide medical supervision of a new chemotherapy and outpatient infusion center BMH opened in conjunction with the oncology practice. Beaufort Memorial Chemotherapy & Infusion Services is located on the ground floor of the same BMH medical building
in space formerly occupied by LifeFit Wellness Center in Suite 120. It has been remodeled to include two private treatment rooms and a group room with 12 infusion recliners where patients can receive blood transfusions, chemotherapy and other medications administered through a needle or catheter. A pharmacist and pharmacist technologist will work on site, mixing the chemotherapy drugs to speed up the infusion process. “We’ll also have a social worker available to assist patients with psychosocial issues, including financial concerns, problems with transportation and difficulty coping with their diagnosis,” said Connie Duke, RN, OCN, and Beaufort Memorial’s Cancer Program Director. “The idea is to
reduce any barriers patients may have to receiving treatment.” “The current space is small and doesn’t have enough chairs,” Dr. Newberry said. “The new center has more room. It will provide privacy for those who want it and the esprit de corps of a group for those who prefer to be interactive.” With the new oncology practice on the hospital campus, Dr. Newberry’s patients also will have easy access to Beaufort Memorial’s lab and imaging services. “Beaufort Memorial Oncology Specialists and the new infusion center are part of the continued commitment to our comprehensive cancer program to provide the best possible care to our patients,” Dr. Newberry said.
TRANSENDENTAL NAPPING By Shafiya Eve
You can experience a restorative rest whether it’s five minutes in the recliner, ten minutes on your lunch break in the car or a half hour or more in bed. Transcendental Napping (T-Nap®) can maximize the quality of your rest and rejuvenation and may even offer a lovely mystical experience to boot. My preferred position is lying down on my back. I usually put a fat long pillow under my knees and a small pillow under my head but if you are in your car, just make do, whatever is most comfortable for you in your environment. If it’s daytime, I sometimes add a dark piece of cloth across my eyes. It’s quite simple. Close your eyes and be aware of the light you see. No matter how dark it is, there is always light. It may be shapeless, formless, diffused light, kind of like a very deep fog. For me, sometimes the light is very still, other times it swirls into mystical realms. The trick is just watching it without thinking about it, without letting your imagination run away with you. Just be aware of the light you are perceiving. I like to add a measure of wonderment
into the awareness. Here the difference between awareness and thinking will become obvious. The thinking mind and mindful awareness are two distinctly Shafiya Eve different phenomena. The mind will drift. The thinking mind which was meant to be our servant has enslaved us with its none-stop analysis, useless imaginings and judgments. When you recognize you’ve gone off on a mental tangent, quietly and peacefully bring your attention back to the light. No chastisement, no “there I go again.” Without a thought let it go and come back to the light. The first thing I notice when T-Napping are my eyes relaxing, then the jaw releases and my shoulders drop and the back of my throat will soften and feels like it is opening up - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Other relaxation responses will follow. I am mindful when the relaxation responses gain my attention to simply let go of the thinking about it, just appreciating the

mindfulness of the shift and coming back to seeing the light, to the awareness of light in the dark. One of my favorite things that happens is I’ll relax to the point that I hear myself snoring. I consider this a highlight in the (T-Nap) technique. I often have clients while receiving Reiki who will hear themselves snoring. It’s always a good indication of the depth of their relaxation and sacred experience. Many of us snore in our usual sleep patterns but we rarely hear ourselves snoring (unless our bed companion gives us a good nudge). This occurs in both theT-Nap and a Reiki session when the mind and the body have gone into such a deep state of restful relaxation yet still maintains its’ Awareness. It is
through one’s awareness that the snoring is perceived. I love experimenting. Sometimes I’ll do a body scan I just notice the various rhythms of different areas of my body then bring all my attention to the sacred heart center, being in awareness of the heart rhythm as a focus and before long my entire body will come into unity with that rhythm. Just be mindful when experimenting that awareness is the goal, not thinking. Slipping into the thinking mind is natural. It’s had its way with us for many lifetimes. Just gently bring your attention to the awareness. Take a T-Nap, rest and find yourself rejuvenated.

Turn it down: the effects of loud noise on hearing By Monica Wiser
I’ve had a hearing loss since childhood, so I don’t really know what it’s like to have normal hearing. While hearing aids have greatly improved my hearing, they still won’t give me perfectly normal hearing. By the same token, people with normal hearing don’t really know what it’s like to have a hearing loss. If you’re curious to know what it’s like, try using hearing protection all day. That will give you a sense of what it’s like to experience a mild hearing loss. Just don’t do it if you have children in your care, because you might miss their cries for help. And don’t do it if you are driving, because you might not hear emergency vehicles coming up from behind. And don’t do it if your job depends on good communication skills, because you just might get fired. Sounds pretty limiting, doesn’t it? Still, it’s a good exercise to try it in a controlled environment while watching your favorite program at the level 6
where you normally set the TV or while conversing with a group of friends indoors. See how long you can tolerate it and then ask yourself, “Is it really worth it to risk damaging my hearing?” We are bombarded with noise —at nightclubs, at sporting events, at concerts, and even at the gym. Once in a while, there are unavoidable situations, but those are rare. In most situations, you have the ability to control the situation. If it’s your car radio, home stereo, or iPod, just turn it down. If it’s at a concert or sporting event, wear hearing protection. If it is at a restaurant or at the gym, ask them to turn it down. If they don’t take you seriously, leave. There’s no sense in paying someone to damage your hearing. Here’s what you may not know. Excessive noise exposure doesn’t just cause permanent hearing loss. It can also cause tinnitus. I’ve worked with enough tinnitus patients to know that it can be very
the island news | may 14-20, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
disruptive in their lives and very stressful. Noise exposure can also cause elevated blood pressure, loss of sleep, increased heart rate, cardiovascular constriction, labored breathing, and changes in brain chemistry. According to the WHO Guidelines for Community Noise, “these health effects, in turn, can lead to social handicap, reduced productivity, decreased performance in learning, absenteeism in the workplace and school, increased drug use, and accidents. Noise has also been shown to affect learning ability and reading ability in children (Boncraft 1975). Pregnant women should be particularly cautious. In the October 1997 issue of Pediatrics, the Committee on Environmental Health of the American Academy of Pediatrics published a policy statement based on a review of research on the potential health effects of noise on the fetus and the newborn. The committee concluded that excessive noise exposure in
utero may result in high-frequency hearing loss in newborns and further that excessive sound levels in neonatal intensive care units may disrupt the natural growth and development of premature infants. Here’s what you need to know. Keep it below 85 dB SPL. That’s where damage begins to occur and the louder it is, the less time it takes to permanently damage your hearing. You can monitor noise levels easily with apps on smartphones. A good one for iPhones is: Decibel 10th and for Androids is: Sound Meter, by Smart Tools. Both are free. May is Better Hearing Month. Protect your hearing, because once the damage is done, there is no turning back.

Denice Davis with her sons, (left to right): Max, Ben and Jackson
finishes strong in her 3rd Boston Marathon
By Betsy Hinderliter
On April 15, 2013 bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and inextricably altered the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. The entire country felt the loss and “Boston Strong” became the catch-phrase of the day. “There was no mistaking it was an explosion,” recalls Denice Davis who completed the marathon for the first time that year just minutes before devastation hit. In 2013, Denise had just finished the race and was closing the taxi door when the first bomb exploded. “The street we were on was immediately shut down. Then there was the second explosion. Panicked people were running everywhere – it was total chaos,” she added. Somehow her cab driver managed to get them out of the area and was able to make his way to the bus station where Denice traveled back to the ferry and then to her anxious family on Martha’s Vineyard. The tragedy of three bystanders losing their lives, dozens of others seriously injured and the stress of being in the middle of what later was determined to be a terrorist attack had an impact on Denice. “In 2014, I had a very strong desire to change all those negative feelings from the year before and turn them back into positive feelings. The overall atmosphere at the 2014 race was conducive to that and more – it was triumphant, almost victorious. The 2014 Boston Marathon was so positive and I got back my ‘runner’s high’ for the event. There was no question that I would go back again this year,” she remarked.
Denice also feels a strong connection to the northeast and Boston, having grown up in northern New Jersey and then living on Martha’s Vineyard for 11 years prior to moving to Beaufort. She started running 13 years ago and while she considers herself an athlete overall, her first love is running. “I started running way back then as a way to reduce stress, lose some weight and just be healthier. Then something clicked, my competitive spirit kicked in and I started running in races. That was it – I am hooked on running!” Denice has competed in several marathons including the NY City Marathon (twice), the Marine Corps Marathon (twice), and many local half marathons and 10k events. At the Savannah Bridge Run Double Pump in December she placed in the top 3 in her age group and placed first in the female master division. Commenting on her Boston race time this year, Denice shared that conditions were not ideal. “It was rainy with a constant head wind and about 40 degrees. I finished at 3:28 which is about 3 minutes slower than in 2014 – that was my fastest time at 3:25. Considering that I was soaking wet the entire race and almost hypothermic, I am satisfied with that time.” Denice’s favorite saying is‘no excuses’and this determined single mother of 3 boys has extended her philosophy and love of running to her sons, to the members of the YMCA of Beaufort County where she is the Wellness Director, and out into the Beaufort community. Last year she became the cross country coach at Bridges Preparatory
School, where she coaches kids age 7-13.“It’s a thrill to see the kids put themselves out there and train hard for a goal. Plus it’s just fun to run with kids!” Since many people may be curious about what it takes to compete in marathons, Denice is happy to share her regime and training tips. She said, “My training is based on the ‘run less, run faster’ method so I do cross-training 3 times a week by teaching classes at the “Y” and I run a max of 30 miles per week. 16 weeks out before a race I stick to this schedule. Kevin Green from Carolina Sportscare has also helped me get race ready by putting together track workouts.” Additionally, Denice incorporates healthy eating, gets plenty of regular sleep and stays hydrated.“Just don’t over-do anything,” she warns. Running with a friend or training partner is also a plus, and Denice calls on her friend Heather Bruner, YMCA Swim Team Coach and triathlete, to accompany her. “But Heather’s on her bike!” Denice remarks with a laugh. So what is up next for this busy lady? Besides instituting health and wellness programs at the YMCA and keeping up with those 3 boys, she look forwards to the Bluffton Duathlon series on May 30th and her third NY City Marathon in November. And then there is Boston 2016. Denice adds, “As long as I qualify, I will return every year. It’s a privilege.”

Water Festival launches with Paddle Battle
The Annual Beaufort Water Festival is officially underway. The Festival kicked off on Saturday with the Paddle Battle. The rain held off and 44 stalwart competitors left the safety of the parking lot at Battery Park Marina to launch their water craft, usually a kayak or paddle board, and head to the starting line. The races were for 3 miles and 6 miles and the wind was blowing “stink” (a technical sailing term meaning there was lots and lots of wind) so heading into the wind was going to be very challenging for everyone. The two-man kayak team definitely had a benefit here. But we are confident that with the 5 chase boats, all 44 participants made it back to shore in one piece.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Beyond the classroom–ACT SO amazing! The 2015 Academic Cultural, Technological, Scientific Olympics (ACT SO) were held Saturday, May 2. ACT SO is a youth enrichment program designed to recruit, stimulate, improve and encourage high school students to pursue interests outside of the normal school curriculum sponsored by the NCAAP. Students are paired with mentors and coaches to promote academic and artistic excellence, while preparing for the competition. The competition hosted 8 competitors from high schools in the Beaufort County area. The schools represented in the 2015 competition were Beaufort High School, Whale Branch Early College, Bluffton High School and Wade Hampton High School. The students competed in the categories of The Sciences, Visual Arts, Entrepreneurship, Humanities and Performing Arts. The following students won in their categories: Gold Award Winners: Jarany

The Gold award winners, Jarany Palacio, Briona Millidge and Margaret Lavigne will travel to Philadelphia in July to compete at the national level for scholarships, awards, internships and publishing opportunities.
The competition was coordinated by Tonya Johnson Phillips and Regina Jefferson, who took on this task as an opportunity to give back to their community and afford high school students a venue to showcase their talents with the potential to win scholarships and awards. Recruitment for the 2016 ACT SO Program will start in September 2015.
BHS to host Art Show of AP students on May 14th By Sam Perry
This year, Beaufort High School will hold its first ever Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art Show on May 14th. The show was an idea of art teacher Scott Gordon, teacher of the AP Studio Art program. Scott has been teaching at BHS for 18 years and as of this year, Scott started teaching AP. Scott stated that he was eager to teach the class and when asked why he wanted to do this show he said “This is my first year teaching AP. I was surprised after seeing these kids’ very talented works that more people hadn’t been able to see all this talent...So hey, why not an art show?”
The idea has become a reality to be held on May 14th 2015 with an opening reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Each student has produced 24 pieces of advanced placement quality art since the start of the year. After each of the students in the class sent off five pieces of their art to be reviewed by AP graders (as part of the final exam) it was decided that the students remaining 95 pieces of art were going to be featured in the show with select pieces of art up for purchase. The artists featured in the show are seniors Hannady Alberto, Kaleb Bennett, Katie Harrison, Sarah Holloway and Dima Shipsey. These students’ talents

In conjunction with their studies on South Carolina history, the third graders at Beaufort Academy participated in a guided tour of the South Carolina State House. First, they visited the SC State Supreme Court, where students got a tour of the courtroom and learned about the process of the court. From 12
here it was to get a tour of the judges’ chambers. They then headed across the street to the SC State House to see firsthand how Representatives and Senators go about making laws. The school and class were recognized in the chambers by Senator Tom Davis and by Representative Shannon Erickson!

are more than just being a “skilled artist.” Their real talents lie in their dedication and creativity. Most of us who have picked up a pencil or tried to make something look “just right” know that drawing alone is hard. Now try doing that on a large canvas with one week deadlines and a schedule full of other classes. Besides the AP quality in these students’ work, anyone who comes to the art show will also see the very distinct approaches from each of the five artists. This won’t be a typical high school art show that will have 30 drawings of the same sunset because the works presented are reflective of the fact that AP Studio
Art is a college level art class done by college level skilled student artists. Each student had to identify a theme for their art for this year. Senior Katie Harrison’s work is themed around The Brothers Grimm Fairytales. This will vary a good deal from Kaleb Bennett’s work with a theme of “humans in combination with animal anatomy.” And these are just two of the five artists’ themes. Check out the AP Studio Art Show on May 14th 2015 in The Performing Arts Center at the Beaufort High School and enjoy yourself, enjoy the art and maybe even bring a few pieces home. Don’t let a show like this pass you by.

Sand Sharks win Round I of NAIA Softball Tournament The University of South Carolina, Beaufort Sand Sharks played masterful defense and held on to a 1-0 lead to defeat the Wesleyan Wildcats from Indiana 1-0 during the opening round of the NAIA Softball Championship Tournament on Monday in Hardeeville. Spectacular diving plays were common for the Sand Sharks. Even if the out wasn’t made, the infielders managed to keep most of the hard-hit balls from making it to the outfield and kept extra base hits to a minimum. The Sand Shark’s third baseman managed to field all three outs during the bottom of the seventh inning to seal the win. The Sand Sharks played for the championship title yesterday. No results at press time.

Eagles
continued from page 1 Reyn Robinson, and George Sanford combined to switch the point of attack to the right flank, where a waiting Olsson beat his defender and served a beautiful ball past the Prep goalkeeper and toward the back post. Nicky Macuch, who missed much of the season with hip flexor and hamstring injuries and played most of the final match with a broken toe, overpowered both
centerbacks and headed the ball home for the equalizer. The next 15 minutes saw Prep hold off increasing pressure from BA, as Sanford’s precise distribution from the center of the park and Muniz’s irrepressible play on the left flank led to several good chances. Just as it was beginning to look like the game might be heading to overtime, Sanford, a senior and last year’s SCISA A-AA Player of the Year, put BA ahead with a cracking shot from the top of the 18-yard-box. The goal energized BA and deflated Prep, and the final eight minutes saw BA add another goal from Ryan Muniz and one from Clay Melville.
BA finished the game with a 4-1 victory and all 11 seniors on the field. Employing an attacking formation and a fluid, possession style dominated by the play of its five midfielders, the Eagles nonetheless relied on excellent play from their defenders as well as senior goalkeeper Ashton Guest. Right back Mac Griffith, a junior, was solid in his first year as a varsity starter, and senior Drummond Koppernaes made the team’s success this year possible when he switched from his traditional role in the midfield to left back. Junior Charles Aimar’s speed and positional play at centerback were exceptional all year.

Driving my pick up truck Now what?

I have never lived in an area where there are so many pick up trucks like there are here in the Lowcountry. In most towns, it is normal to see contractors driving around with their company logo printed on the side and materials in the bed of the truck. But here, pick up trucks are everywhere. Part of the reason is because the fishing is so good and we are a tourist destination. Anyone passing one of our many boat launching ramps is familiar with the rows of trucks lined in the parking lots. Then there are trucks towing other things like campers, racing cars or jet skis. Well, we own a pick up truck too. It is a five-year-old F-150 truck that comes in quite handy. When I was working full time in banking, I would drive it occasionally. It was a challenge climbing down from
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
the cab in a business suit. But now that I have hung up my briefcase, there is something special about getting in the truck. It is much more comfortable to drive now that I can just put on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt when I drive it. My persona changes, and I confess to turning on the Country station and singing along with Shane Yellowbird belting out “Me and my pickup truck”. Recently, I passed another F-150 truck driver on the way into the
Convenience Center with my truck bed full. The driver gave me the two finger nod to his baseball cap. I returned the gesture thinking it was an F-150 thing, like the wave Harley Davidson motor cycle drivers give to one another. My husband shook his head and said, “There is no F-150 truck wave, that was our neighbor, Herb.” Oh well. I do struggle with the fact that my truck has an automatic transmission. What happened to the old stick shifts?
Remember Grandpa’s pick up on the old Lassie television series? You wouldn’t find him driving around with an automatic transmission. Anyone that has had to tow something uphill or downhill knows the true value of a standard transmission. You cannot argue about the overall utility of a pick up truck. I understand why folks in our area own one. But with so many of them looking alike, I decided we needed something distinctive. I ordered one of those stick family decals for the back of the truck. You know that ones where there is a father, mother, five kids, three dogs and a cat. Ours has the man and woman and the two dogs. You can hardly see it because the back window is tinted. But if you look carefully it is there, distinguishing our pick up truck here in the Lowcountry.
GREAT SUMMER GARDEN RECIPES By Susan Stone
No-See-Ums can make you crazy. They love the same weather we do with temps between 60-80 degrees. Here is my favorite bug repellant. It’s non-toxic, it’s cheap and it works! 8-1 ratio; mix witch-hazel and cinnamon leaf oil (always test for sensitivity) As the temperatures raise so do the weeds, here is a great non-toxic weed killer that really does the trick. Be careful not to spray on anything you really like. 1-gallon white vinegar, 1-cup pickling salt, 1-cup cheap dish soap; put in lawn sprayer and spray directly on weeds (Works great on poison ivy) For whitefly and soft scale (its early, but they may be left over from last year); you can spray rubbing alcohol directly on the bugs undiluted. Or, a few drops of cheap dish soap and water.
It’s important to get a jump on damaging pests as soon as you see them arrive. Once they get a foothold, it’s tough to get control without using harsh chemicals. Soap is Susan Stone your best friend in the garden. Bug’s don’t like the taste of it any better than we did. Spray early in the day; Not only because the wind is usually calmer, but the sun is not so intense. Overapplying soap in the hot sun can burn the plants. Happy Gardening! Please send your gardening wisdom and questions to susan@outdoorarchitecture.com if you are asking about a particular disease or pest; please include a photo if possible.
Keep the Fire Ants away
Protect your flowe
rs
Keep an eye out for aphids on your crepe myrtles, roses and mandevillas. Keeping them well watered helps, but if those little suckers come calling simply whip up a batch of garlic soap water. It’s not much of a recipe. In a household spray bottle: Mix approx. 1 tbs. garlic juice, a few drops of cheap dish soap then fill with water and spray.
Don’t forget to treat for Fire Ants! This has amazing results! Here I quote Howard Garrett, The Dirt Doctor; “Dry or dried molasses is a soil building product made by spraying organic bits with liquid molasses. It is used to quickly stimulate microbes in the soil and give an indirect benefit of fertility. It also in many cases will run fire ants off the property. It should be used at 10-20 lbs. per 1000 sf.”
Letter to the Editor The Island News encourages all our readers to share their thoughts, reactions, and concerns with us about what we publish or the larger world around us and we will share the appropriate ones with you. Ms. Wells is concerned about, not GMO issues that are challenging food companies today, but the ethical treatment of animals that also make their way to our tables and barbeques. If more people felt as passionately about anything as Ms. Wells demonstrates with her letter, think what a better world it would be. - Molly Ingram, Editor
Dear Ms. Ingram,
My name is Megan Wells and I attend Lowcountry Montessori School. I am a huge lover of animals and feel very strongly about the way they are treated in the food industry. I’ve contacted you today in hopes that you’ll help
s
me raise awareness regarding the abuse that happens before animals are sent to the slaughterhouse. Chickens are kept in tightly packed warehouses where they are fed chemicals that make them gain weight at unhealthy rates. So much so that they cannot hold up their own body weight. Pigs that are too sick to be put into our food are thrown head first on the ground until they die. Eighty percent of our antibiotics go to farm animals. This is happening in almost all the grocery stores across the nation. I am asking you to help me spread the word across the Lowcountry. If more people know and care, they may stop buying the product and the company will realize how wrong it is. Sincerely, Megan M. Wells Grade 7

wine
A visit to Wine Heaven By Celia Strong
There’s nothing like tasting a wine with the guy who made it! Every once in a while, and I’m talking in the world of wine here, you get to taste a wine with its winemaker. And, there’s absolutely nothing like it! Unless, the exact surroundings when you’re tasting it are perfect. Then it’s like you died and went to “Wine Heaven.” A small, fortunate group of us were lucky enough to experience this last week. Wine Heaven, right here in Beaufort. Wow! I’ve got a lot to tell you about this day, so we’re going to get right to it. To begin, a group of tasters was invited to get together on Cinco de Mayo. And, because of the date, Mexican food was chosen. Not chain restaurant food. Homemade, from scratch, from recipes that came from Mexico. Real Mexican food. So every mouthful was all fresh ingredients, fresh herbs, and true flavors. Flavors, not hot spices and jalapeños. Salsa, carnitas, albondigas, quesadillas. And, yes, all went really well with the wines. Napa wines. And that leads us to Wine Heaven! Our Cinco de Mayo tasting included a couple of imported wines. And, they were excellent! But - they were not made by our guest. Our guest is the winemaker of the last four wines we tasted. Robert Mondavi, Jr. So, yes, you can imagine how special our evening had to be. Rob and his family have a home in Beaufort and he spends about one quarter of the year hear. Coming from a family whose name is one of the best known in the world of wine, he grew up seeing and experiencing and learning all the pieces and parts of that business. He worked in vineyards, in wineries, in tasting rooms, with wholesale distributors and importers. All of it just being a part of life with his family. Currently, his father, Michael, his sister, Dina, and he have a company called Folio. ( Just so you have the right info - Michael is the original Robert Mondavi’s son, son Rob and Dina are the grandchildren.) And, Folio is the company who brings

us our wines today. First, the Emblem Carneros Chardonnay. I know it’s only May, but, having done this for a few years myself, I suspect this will be the best new Chardonnay I taste this year. And, I only say I suspect because there are over six months more of new wines still coming. I’m pretty sure, though, Emblem is it. This wine is golden colored, with intense aromas just popping out of your glass. Baked apples and pears, baking spices included. It has a lush mouthfeel and a long, lingering finish with some acidity and minerality. For me, in particular, I tasted what I always describe as buttercups. Those little yellow field flowers we used to hold under our chins as kids to see if we liked butter. This flavor I only get from really good French Meursault wines. Spectacular. And the reason I’m saying this is my best new Chardonnay of the year. For $35.99 this is a bargain. The really good Meursault wines are way more. Our second wine is the Emblem Napa Cabernet. There are little bits of Syrah, Petit Sirah, Zinfandel and Petite Verdot blended into this Cabernet. It is made to be approachable with a rounded mouthfeel and layers of flavors. There are cherry, dark berries and cassis flavors, mixed with vanilla and toffee. Between the flavors and the textures, this wine as a huge favorite. At $31.99, a true value from Napa. Both the Emblem wines are made by Rob and his sister. Next, we tasted the Animo Napa Cabernet. Animo means “soul,” a name that came from Rob’s sister, Dina. It refers to the soul of the wine, its history, its family and the lifestyle that goes with all of that. Definitely
“There is a character and quality of life here that we all love”
As you can see, winewise, it was a great evening. Wine Heaven. And there is nothing like tasting wines with the guy who made them. But Rob made another point and, I think, all of us there came away with the same feeling. Good wine and good food and family and friends are meant to be shared. This is a lifestyle. this is a step up the ladder in Napa Cabernets. The grapes for this wine come from hillside vineyards, hard to work physically but great for grape growing. These grapes are handpicked, numerous passes through every row so each grape is properly ripened, macerated for a very lengthy month, fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak for almost two years. Animo Cabernet can be cellared for several years, but can also be drunk now. This wine is a family project - Michael with Rob and Dina. A chance for them to really work together. For $85.99. Our last wine was M by Michael Mondavi Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes come from the peaks of the hills where Animo grapes grow. More austere conditions cooler temperatures and soils and its nutrients going downhill with every rainfall onto Animo grapes. This wine is more Michael’s style. He grew up in the wine business when French Bordeaux wines were the kings. Subtle wines with more restrained styles that took years of cellaring to become what they were meant to be. Michael makes all the decisions for this wine, but Rob is
the winemaker. For $179.99, this is a uniquely flavorful and complex wine I think of it at a “prestige” level, like in the highest tier of Champagne. (We don’t always get to drink wines like some of these, but having tasted them we now know we can get them.) As you can see, wine-wise, it was a great evening. Wine Heaven. And there is nothing like tasting wines with the guy who made them. But Rob made another point and, I think, all of us there came away with the same feeling. Good wine and good food and family and friends are meant to be shared. This is a lifestyle. Rob is lucky enough to have a family that is wine-centered. He takes his young son to walk among the vines just like his father and grandfather did with him. So the traditions and special feelings for what they do continue. At Folio, the family company extends their relationships. Brother and sister work together on the Emblem label. Father with son and daughter work on Animo Cabernet. And father has his dream wine, M, with his son making it. Wine Heaven, though, was more than just the wines. A whole day of cooking special food was a gift from our hostess. A home and food shared with friends made it happen. And the wines, of course. Completely a very special evening. (I had another sip of the Emblem Chardonnay before I left just to be sure my memory banks stay strong.) Enjoy.
Morning coffee with friends at a hometown café. School ball games. The changing of the seasons. The County Fair. Spending time with family or just a simple drive through the country side. There is a character and quality of life here in our area we all love. We’re proud to be a part of it.

How McDonalds can solve everything By Dr. Parker T. Barker
I love my sister, Peanut, but sometimes she makes me crazy. Some dogs don’t like getting in the car. She gets in fine but she hates, absolutely hates, riding in the car on the highway. Regular city roads are just fine and she is an excellent navigator with two paws firmly on the center armrest and eyes going left and right to warn Mom of any problems that might come up. But if she sees a sign that says I-95, she panics. And I don’t think it is just a girl thing. Alonzo at the dog park doesn’t like cars or the highway either. So, what can you do if you have a puppy that is afraid of getting in the car and going for rides? You have to make going for rides fun, that’s what. And you have to make them not scary too. Start small. Let your new puppy eat in the car for a couple of days with the engine running. This will get them acclimated to the noise of the car which is very different from what they are used to. Next, just take the newspaper or your book and sit in the back of the car reading with the doors open. Invite your pup to join you and just sit there together. You can follow this up by putting their bed in the back so they don’t slide around on the upholstery. Upholstery is worse than wood floors – you just slide from side to side and that can be really unsettling to someone who isn’t used to

it. Begin with a trip down the driveway and back. Then down to the end of the block and back. You get where this is going? Small steps. Or more accurately, small rides. If your pet is happy in their crate, you can try putting that in the back of your car and letting them stay in there. It is a place where they feel safe and that feeling should transfer from the house to the car. Some dogs just like to look out the windows and take in all the smells, but for me, I bark at all the other dogs I see for a while and then I go to sleep. Waiting for the fun to happen. Now, if your pup gets so nervous, they get car sick, you should try ginger snaps. I hear they are really good at calming an upset tummy. Plus they are just really good period. Or your Vet might prescribe something stronger to take the edge off. Because not riding in the car is just so limiting for both you and your pet. There are so many fun places to go and you are going to need a car to get there. If you are lucky enough to have adopted a dog, they may have “baggage” that comes with them which is making

them anxious about the car. This is harder to fix as you really don’t know what you are dealing with. But the same basic principles apply. Make your car safe and secure, don’t drive fast, don’t hit the brakes hard (unless you have too) and try and make each trip end in a great place – like McDonalds. No matter where you find yourself on the “I’m not lovin’ car rides” continuum, you should have a chat with your Vet about their suggestions. And if all car rides were to end up at McDonalds, they wouldn’t have to worry about recreating their brand at all. This could save them millions, even billions. I think in my next life I’ll be a marketing guru. At McDonalds. Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

Historic Beaufort Foundation lecture
A leader in South Carolina Reconstruction era politics will be the subject of the May Dinner & Lecture presented by Historic Beaufort Foundation at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street, May 18th, 5:30 to 7 p.m. USCB history professor and director of the upcoming teachers’ institute, “America’s Reconstruction: The Untold Story,” J. Brent Morris, will discuss the life of Robert Brown Elliott and the radical politics of Reconstruction in South Carolina. Morris, who teaches, writes and lectures on slavery and antislavery in America, is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to teach Reconstruction history to educators at USCB in July. Robert Elliott, a black man of West Indian descent, established a successful political career in South Carolina and was twice elected to the U.S. Congress. During this period, the government attempted to grant equal rights to former slaves and they achieved political leadership positions. He left Congress to fight political corruption in South Carolina. He was elected SC Attorney General but was forced out of office as the Federal government decreased its support of Reconstruction policies. Morris is widely known for his writings on the abolitionist and Reconstruction periods and in 2010 received the South Carolina Historical Society’s award for the best scholarly article appearing in the society’s journal. Seating is limited for the lecture. A wine and hors d’oeuvre reception begins at 5:30 p.m. with the program running from 6 to 7 p.m. Admission for members are $15/$25 per member/couple. Non-member admission is$20/$30 per person/couple.

National Hospital Week Recognizing the men and women who make miracles happen every day
Each year in May we recognize National Hospital Week, the nation’s largest health care event and a celebration of the history, innovation and dedicated professionals who make our hospitals exceptional places to receive care. National Hospital Week dates back to 1921, when a local newspaper editor in Chicago suggested it as a way to recognize the key role that hospitals play in our communities. Today, every state celebrates National Hospital Week, which is sponsored by the American Hospital Association. It is with pride that Beaufort Memorial Hospital celebrates this week—and every week—the physicians, nurses, staff and volunteers who have enabled us to continue to fulfill our mission to deliver superior health care to our patients and improve the health of our community.
