wellness center has been expanded by 70 percent, taking up most of the first floor of the four-story building. It will feature some of the latest strength-training and cardio workout equipment, more exercise classes and a spa-like massage room. “We’ve gone from a cramped 10,000 square feet to a very roomy 17,000 square feet,” said LifeFit Senior Director Mark Senn. “It has allowed us to expand our exercise options and have a bigger group exercise room.” HOSPITAL continued on page 6

Lady’s Island Notes Rumor of the Day. The latest rumor is that Pizza Hut has plans to establish a store in one of the vacant sites in the Food Lion complex. A Team Effort. Shortly after the opening of the new span of the McTeer Bridge and the amazing response to the pedestrian walkway on the bridge, LIBPA asked Mr. Wendell Mulligan, SCDOT Resident Maintenance Engineer for assistance in maintaining the area at the foot of the bridge that had evolved into an unofficial parking lot. At that time, Mr. Rob McFee, Director of Engineering and
By Jim Hicks
Infrastructure for Beaufort County indicated to Mr. Mulligan that Beaufort County was prepared to support an effort to provide basic maintenance for the parking lot. As could be expected, the high use of the parking area led to a need to improve the entrance and exit which had become a serious hazard. As a team effort, with SCDOT providing the material and Beaufort County Public Works performing the installation, the entrance to the parking lot was recently repaired. It is so much safer now. We, on Lady’s Island, fully understand that technically neither of
you were required to do this project but, we do so appreciate it. Another Step Closer to a New Lady’s Island Fire Station. The Lady’s Island – St. Helena Fire District Commission recently authorized the issuance of a $6 million bond which will provide funding for a new fire station to be located on Lady’s Island Drive. This bond funding will also pay off all existing debt and purchase two new pumpers, replacing pumpers that are 23 and 25 years old. It is anticipated the new station will have its grand opening in 2014.
The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that the Film Rebate Bill (S.163) was signed into law by Governor Nikki Haley after passing the legislature just days ago. The Film Rebate Bill is expected to attract more film productions to South Carolina by making the state more competitive with neighboring states. The Bill has a $0 fiscal impact (which means no increase in taxes) and is expected to generate million of dollars into our state and create more jobs. “We are so proud of all the people who worked behind the scenes and rallied support to help get the Film Rebate Bill passed,” said Blakely Williams, Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce President & CEO. “This is going to have a tremendous economic impact on our state and the Beaufort region as more filmmakers come back to our area, showcasing the natural beauty the Lowcountry has to offer. We know Beaufort will be first in line as filmmakers make their way back to South Carolina. According to The Carolina Film Alliance, the bill increases rebates that film companies receive for its purchases of supplies from South Carolina vendors up to 30 percent from 15; and, it increases the rebates film companies receive for wages spent from 15 percent to now up to 25 percent for South Carolina residents and up to 20 percent for all others. Although there is an increase in rebates, there is no increase of the pot of money the state sets aside for these rebates ($0 fiscal impact). “The next “Forrest Gump” or “The Big Chill” could be right around the corner in our own back yard soon and we look forward to it,” said Williams.
Traffic checkpoint will be on Lady’s Island
Members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office will be conducting a traffic safety checkpoint on Friday, May 17 from 9 to 11 p.m. The checkpoint will be held at the following location: • Lady’s Island Drive (US Hwy 21) at Islands Causeway. This Public Safety Checkpoint will be conducted to enforce all South Carolina State Laws, with emphasis on violations related to driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations, and insurance. Drivers passing through the checkpoint will be asked to produce their driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance for their vehicle.
County business license renewals due
Businesses operating within the unincorporated boundaries of Beaufort County must renew their County business licenses by May 31 or face penalties for being late. For more information, call the County Business License Department at 843-255-2270 or go to www.bcgov. net and click on ‘Business License’ under Departments.
Suspect arrested on drug charges
On May 10, Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigators arrested Frank Jason Major on drug charges. An investigation was conducted into Frank Major selling illegal drugs from his residence located at 107 Simmons Road on St. Helena Island. Investigators received information on numerous occasions in reference to Major selling drugs. After obtaining these statements, doing surveillance on the residence and conducting
controlled buys, a search warrant was obtained for the residence. On May 10, at approximately 4:30 a.m. the search warrant was executed on the residence and Frank Major was located and detained. As a result of the search, investigators located crack cocaine, cocaine, marijuana, cash, and drug paraphernalia.
Attempted armed robbery investigated
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an Attempted Armed Robbery that occurred Tuesday evening at Laurel Bay Bingo, 490 Laurel Bay Road, Burton. Just after 11 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to Laurel Bay Bingo on Laurel Bay Road and met with a 70-year-old female who advised she was the victim of an attempted armed robbery. The victim reported she is an employee of the Laurel Bay Bingo and had just closed for the night and was walking to her car when she was approached by two unknown suspects who came from behind the building. The victim reported one of the suspects was armed with a handgun and the other suspect grabbed for her purse. The victim stated she held on to the purse, preventing the purse from being taken. The victim stated both suspects then ran from the area at which time she went back inside the business and contacted law enforcement. The suspects were last seen running towards Capehart Lane. The suspects were described as black males, both between 15-20 years of age. One was described as being approximately 5’02”, the other as approximately 5’00”. The Sheriff ’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers or Sergeant J. Kelleher at 843-255-3418.

Owners and members of Lady’s Island Country Club are pleased to announce that their clubhouse, built in 1972, is planned to undergo extensive renovations scheduled to begin in late June. According to club owner Jeff Fischer, the clubhouse will be totally “skinned” and completely opened up, allowing for very little wasted space. “The only thing that will remain the same is the center fireplace. The kitchen will be completely remodeled and updated, and the chic new design in the bar and dining room is sure to attract young, new members”, said Fischer. Outdoor dining will be added where the pool is currently located and all furnishings will be replaced. Decor is planned to have an urban Lowcountry feel. The golf course and pro shop will remain open during the renovations. The pro shop will also double as the snack shop and serve sandwiches and drinks while the restaurant is being updated. The pool, however, is being moved to a new location, possibly near the existing putting green, so plans are to close it for the summer. Renovations are expected to be completed by Christmas of 2013. With new and updated facilities, the club hopes to schedule more events like weddings and business meetings. They plan to have free WiFi, a coffee station and other amenities to attract such events, as well as new members.

Is it time to sell your second home? By Whitney McDaniel
You’ve seen the headlines lately: The U.S. real estate market is beginning to show signs of recovery. Existing home sales ticked up more than 9 percent during the 12-month period ending in January, while median home prices rose more than 12 percent, according to a study by the National Association of Realtors called “January Existing-Home Sales Hold With Steady Price Gains, Seller’s Market Developing.” The improvements in housing turnover should make it easier for Americans holding on to second homes to monetize those investments. Real estate markets in much of the country have transitioned to sellers’ markets, Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, noted recently. Home buyer traffic is up 40% from a year ago, while the number of sellers is holding steady. The tight housing inventory, coupled with plenty of demand, has created a sellers’ market in pockets of the country. You don’t have to be an economist to determine when you should sell your second home. Just watch your neighborhood and region closely for signs that you should make a move. For starters, recognize that real estate is an extremely local business today. Conditions can vary markedly from one
location to another, says Brendon DeSimone, a real estate expert and syndicated columnist for Zillow.com. “Don’t assume that just because Whitney transactions are McDaniel up, the market is up everywhere,” DeSimone cautions. If you are willing to research your local area diligently, recognize the conditions that are favorable for a sale (or purchase) and wait patiently, you can benefit from the upturn. Exploring the Market The recovery is patchy, and coming off several stagnant years, when sellers stayed on the sidelines, reining in supply for all property types, from lakeside retreats to income-generating city rentals. Also, rates are still low, and an increase in supply will give prospective buyers more properties to choose from. • Get expert help. A licensed real estate agent can help you gauge the health of your target market and decipher pricing and supply trends. That groundwork can play a critical role in helping you determine whether
to buy or sell in a particular market. Make sure your agent is willing to offer an honest estimation of the best selling price. If you receive an offer that is far below what you need to earn, wait to sell, DeSimone advises. Instead, consider renting out the property to cover its operating costs until the local market improves. “When people hear that the market is up, they assume prices are up,” DeSimone says. “But the market is up because there are finally buyers again. That does not mean you’ll get a price that is comparable to those seen during boom times.” • Weigh your options. Your family’s goals are also an important factor in deciding whether to sell a property. Your Wells Fargo Financial Advisor can help you consider the financial effects of buying or selling and how to balance the financial and emotional decisions you’ll need to make. Counting the Costs If you are selling a rental property, consider unique issues such as its income history and potential future return on investment. Also, be sure to weigh the local market’s potential for growth. For example, there are surprising real estate opportunities in areas of the country where strong economic growth is under
way. In North Dakota, a surging oil industry is driving a local housing boom. “It’s no different from researching a company to invest in,” DeSimone says. “If you notice that a market is experiencing an uptick in demand but has insufficient housing, it may be worth a closer look.” As with equity investing, timing the market is difficult at best. Avoid speculation! Your long-term life and money goals should dictate how you approach housing opportunities in your area. “The market is going to go up, but that trend will play out differently, market to market,” DeSimone says. “Do your homework — and get help you trust — to figure out whether it’s time for you to buy or sell.” This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Whitney McDaniel, CFP®, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC at (843) 524-1114.

The new exercise studio is nearly double the size of the old 700-squarefoot classroom. With the additional space, there is now room for 12 stationary bicycles that will be used for spin classes. Along with the cycling workout, several other group exercise classes have been added to the schedule, including yoga and step aerobics. New cardio and strength-training equipment also was purchased, offering members more choices to trim down and tone up. Among the state-of-theart machines are two virtual cycling trainers. “If you’d rather work out on your own or there isn’t a spin class going on when you’re at the gym, you can hop on one of the e-Spinners,” said Kim Yawn, supervisor of the LifeFit Wellness program. “Instead of a live instructor, you follow the trainer on the screen.” The cycles and other exercise equipment were purchased with funds raised by Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 2013 Valentine Ball. “We’ve also got a very nice massage room” Yawn added. “You can get Swedish and Deep Swedish massages, and we’re now offering hot stone massages as well.” But it’s the individualized health services provided by medical

professionals that makes LifeFit Wellness Center so unique. New members are assigned a case manager or wellness coach who evaluates their health status. The clinically based fitness assessment includes a review of their medical history and cholesterol and blood pressure checks. Based on the evaluation, the case manager develops a therapeutic action plan with specific recommendations for cardiovascular and resistance training as well as lifestyle changes. Members are re-assessed regularly to ensure they are making progress and achieving their goals. The progress reports are shared with the member’s primary care physician as part of their continuum of care. “Our job is to help people stay healthy and reduce their risk for chronic disease,” Senn said. “That can involve everything from nutrition and exercise to smoking cessation and stress management.”
LifeFit will be offering a number of specials in celebration of their new opening, including savings on membership fees, personal training packages and massages. Complimentary guest passes will be available for those who would like to tryout the new facility before joining. LifeFit services include a diabetes center, asthma management program, support groups, inexpensive cardio vascular screenings and personal training. Outpatient and cardio/pulmonary rehabilitation also has been relocated to the first floor of the new building. Here, patients can have physical, occupational and speech therapy, neurological rehab and swallowing and voice therapies, among others. The third and fourth floor of the new building, known as BMAC, will house more than two dozen of the hospital’s administrative departments. The second floor is being reserved for future physician offices. “While health care funding is being cut, we still have to address the critical needs of the community,” said BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey. “This new building will be an asset for 30 or 40 years.” LifeFit will be closed Friday, May 17 through Monday, May 20 in order to move into the new facility, and will reopen Tuesday, May 21 at 5:30 a.m. To learn more about LifeFit services, call (843) 522-5635 or visit bmhsc.org.

The H2O glow
C
M
It’s no secret that water — Mother Nature’s very own compound mixture of hydrogen and oxygen — is one of the best and absolute health elixirs around. Every part of our body, from hair and skin on through our nails and organs, have a vital need to thrive off water. Water alone can boost our energy levels, hydrate us and quench our thirst. Not to mention, it can offer and sustain youthful, glowing skin. Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com
Several benefits of drinking water not only include internally moisturizing the skin, but can also offer added plumpness to dull, lackluster skin. Plumping due to water fills in fine lines and wrinkles, causing a firmer, healthier and fresh glow to the skin. In addition, products such as those containing natural moisturizing agents will create an external barrier and help to hold on to the water even longer. Most guidelines suggest a daily intake of 11 8-ounce glasses of water, however, your individual body makeup, chemistry and lifestyle will adjust this accordingly. Water, though it is the purest of drinks around for the body, may not be the most appealing to all taste buds, however, a few alterations are suitable to help boost motivation. One of my personal favorites is lemon juice. You can use 100% bottled lemon juice or add freshly squeezed juice directly to your glass or full pitcher, to drink throughout the day. Another favorite that not only adds a refreshing taste to water but is aesthetic to the eyes as well, is peeled and sliced cucumbers. Peaches, strawberries and diced grapes add a subtle sweetness to water and only add to the boost of vitamins and nutrients your body loves and needs.
The combinations are limitless, but stick to natural fruit and veggies, avoiding high sugar content and fruits with syrup added.

March on Monsanto May 25 — Everywhere By Danette Vernon
There will be a “March on Monsanto” on six continents, in 33 countries, and in more than 250 cities worldwide. In the US, events are slated to occur simultaneously at 11 a.m. Pacific time on May 25 in 47 states, with four events in South Carolina. Who the heck is Monsanto, you wonder? They are the people who put the “extra stuff ” in the milk your children drink every day, and the people who fill your corn on the cob, kernel by kernel, with “extra stuff,” such as “a pesticide that breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them,” according to nationofchange.org. Is that important? You’ll have to decide for yourself, but let me tell you the story of the “food version” of Erin Brockovich — Robyn O’Brien. One morning at breakfast, after years as a high-level food industry analyst, Robyn sat down with her four children
Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon at breakfast. Suddenly, Robyn’s youngest child’s face began to swell to dangerous proportions. After anxious moments at the pediatrician, Robyn found out it was a food allergy. Stymied, she couldn’t understand how a child could be allergic to food! She dug in with all of the intensity that she had once devoted to global finance, and found some startling truths. One, food allergies occur when the body responds to food proteins as if they were a foreign element. The body’s response is an inflammatory reaction meant to rout the enemy. But what is it about our food that is inciting the body? And why are food allergies on the rise in recent years? For answers, Robyn turned to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and found that new proteins have been engineered into our milk, corn and soybeans. Soybeans are predominantly raised to feed animals, which we, in turn, eat. Robyn uncovered that the governments of Canada, Australia, the UK, Japan, New Zealand, and all 27 European countries, decided to error on the side of precaution as these new genetically products were released into the markets in the 1990’s. Robyn reports that all of these countries wanted to wait till these products had been researched, and found to be safe, before introducing them into their food supply. She goes on to relate that the U.S. “took a different approach.” Robyn divulges that here in the U.S., a product can be released into the market under certain conditions — until proven dangerous. The U.S. took this path when it was suggested that our milk cows be injected with a combination of growth
hormones and a genetically engineered protein. The U.S. took the same course with genetically modified soybeans and corn. Robyn makes some compelling arguments in her presentations, and in her book “The Unhealthy Truth,” for how the injection of hormones and foreign proteins into our food supply can be connected to the increase of allergies…and cancer. The United States is the number one country in the world for cancer, and the American Cancer Society has linked migration to the U.S. with a four-fold increase in your chances of developing cancer. So no matter how you view the world and what goes on in it, that is a statistic that cannot, or should not be ignored. So join the “March on Monsanto May 25th”, in Columbia, or Charleston, Myrtle Beach or Greenville. Or just eat an organic apple.

Beaufort Memorial Nurse wins Palmetto Gold Nursing Award Beaufort Memorial Clinical Instructor Juanita SingletonMurray, RN, has been honored with a 2013 Palmetto Gold Nursing Award, the premier statewide nurse recognition program that salutes exceptional nursing practice and commitment to the profession. Singleton-Murray has worked in the field of nursing for 26 years and has spent 24 of those years at Beaufort Memorial. She received her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of South Carolina and her Masters of Science in Nursing from South University. In addition to her work as Clinical Instructor, SingletonMurray also serves as a relief Nursing Supervisor and a Mental Health Staff Nurse and serves on a long list of nursing committees at the hospital. She has also worked as an informatics nurse, assisting with the implementation of two electronic medical records systems and continues to work with new nursing staff, educating them on the hospital’s documentation system.
Palmetto Gold recipient Juanita Singleton-Murray with her supervisor Trish Deems, who nominated her for the award.
“My passion has always been education,” she said. “I love being able to combine my clinical expertise and my passion for teaching. It is rewarding being able to work with the staff watching them learn and grow in confidences and skill and knowing that I had the opportunity to assist with this growth and development.” Among her responsibilities in the education department, Singleton-Murray assists TCL and USCB nursing students with care improvement strategies and coordinates weekly meetings to improve
communication. “I just get an unexplainable feeling knowing that I played a small part in the success of these nurses, keeping in mind that one day they may be taking care of me,” she said. “I try to instill in them the concept of ‘when you look at that patient, see yourself or a family member and treat them the way you would want to be treated.’” She has also worked for years as a Basic Life Support instructor, providing education for staff and in the community with special focus on minority churches and daycare centers. She has a special passion for children’s issues and working with children in need. “Juanita shows a deep commitment to the Beaufort community and she works tirelessly to advance the nursing profession,” said Trish Deems, BMH education director, who nominated Singleton-Murray for the award. One hundred nurses were selected from the nominations received and honored during a formal gala. CarolinaAir
yoga pose of the week
Extended Side Angle Utthita Parsvakonasana Extended Side Angle is a pose that awakens, extends, and strengthens your entire body. In addition to stretching, Extended Side Angle enables you to build endurance and stamina within your physical body, primarily in your legs. Begin standing, with your feet together, at the top of your yoga mat. Step your left foot towards the back of your mat (about 1-3ft) and turn the toes on your right foot to the front of the room, next turn your back foot towards the left side of your mat, and bring your back arch in line with your front heal. Bring action to your feet; press the four corners of your feet, the ball mount of your big and pinky toe and two points in the back of your heal, in to the ground. Bend your right knee and place your knee over your ankle, then bring your right forearm to your right thigh and, for now, place your left hand on your hip. With your elbows bent, bring your shoulders to your back and hug in. Hug your legs, belly, shoulders, towards the center of your body. Connecting back to essentially what is called our true north. From this place in integration you may expand. Reach your bottom finger tips to a block or the earth, top arm to the sky. Repeat on your other side, begin with your left foot forward.

Can the latest in cancer care be found right here in the Lowcountry?
When he learned he had prostate cancer, former Marine Bruce Reynolds was shaken. Having cancer was unsettling, but not knowing which treatment to choose made it worse. Then he went to the Duke-affiliated Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center. The team there had answers and crafted a plan that was right for Bruce: targeted radiation rather than drastic surgery. Even better? Everything he needed was a few miles from home.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
USCB has ceremony for its largest graduating class Braving intermittent showers, the University of South Carolina Beaufort conducted a commencement ceremony May 3 for 314 graduates in the class of 2013. It was the largest graduating class in the history of the baccalaureate institution. University firsts included graduates from the newly established Communication Studies degree program, Coastal Ecology and Conservation concentration, and the Call Me Mister program for early elementary education majors. Dr. Jane T. Upshaw, USCB chancellor, and Dr. Harris Pastides, president of the University of South Carolina, offered warm words of welcome and grateful
appreciation to a sea of parents, relatives and friends of the graduates who filled Helen and Brantley Harvey Plaza in the foreground of the Hargray Building on the Hilton Head Gateway campus. Emory Wayne Rushton, who attended the University of South Carolina Beaufort in the early 1960s when it was a regional campus of the USC system, received an Honorary Doctor of Public Administration degree. After USCB, Rushton earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at USC in 1965. He served for more than four decades with the Office of the Controller of the Currency in Washington,
D.C., rising to become one of the highest-ranking supervisory officials in the American Banking System. But no matter where the Rushtons lived while serving the government, they maintained a home in Beaufort. John Martin Hicks Hart Jr., the award-winning author of four bestselling novels, received an Honorary Doctor of Literature degree. A former criminal defense attorney, banker and stockbroker, Hart delivered the commencement address. He urged the graduating seniors to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams, recalling how he left a secure position as a defense attorney to chase the dream of becoming a novelist.

The Home Stretch By Grace Stewart
You’re 18 years old. It’s May. You can see the finish line. The date of your last exam is quickly approaching. Only thing stopping you? You. Aaaah, Springtime in Beaufort, just about summer. It will soon be the start of sun-kissed skin, soccer on the beach, sandbar frolics and unforgettable family vacations. However, sorry to burst your bubble but, ahem, we’re not quite there yet! As I previously stated in one of my past articles, senioritis was bad last fall and the unrelenting battle rages on. The home stretch is filled with so many exciting new plans and events, so many “lasts” that it is becoming difficult to pay attention to what is at hand, which is the rest of your school work and final exams. Come on, you have to finish it off with a bang! Whether you are in eighth grade and so ready to move onto high school, or a senior who is already mentally at college, most students still have final exams. As my dad told me my entire life (I hate to say he is right), “Buckle down and get to it, EVERYTHING COUNTS!” My “buckling down” starts right about now. This is the time to put the phone away, sit at that desk and keep my eyes glued to my book. My finish line is that last AP exam and class project. Just like running a race, I’m trying to “finish strong.”If I can do it, I know for
sure that you can. I once read a quote by Henry Ward Beecher that said, “The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is Grace Stewart that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t.” At first I laughed because it sounds like something my grandpa or dad would say. Then I realized that it really is true: If you really don’t want to do something, you won’t. However, if you have a very strong will, then you can achieve it. The biggest obstacle to achievement is your own will. Life is full of successive finish lines, each one placing you closer to your goals in life. As for my fellow class of 2013 friends and their families, enjoy every single second of the rest of your year. Even though I am the oldest in my family and I have not had firsthand experience of what the process of leaving your high school en route to college, I have seen and talked to many others who later realized what a special time it was. Everything will change, they said, you will have so much more responsibility they said, and most for of all, it will be the best time of your life. Here’s to running through that finish line ribbon! Good luck.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
sharon joyce-millen: get to know the project director of the
Gullah Festival Question: Where were you born and raised? Answer: I was born in Tallahassee, Florida, and raised in Beaufort, S.C.
knowing that they can conquer anything from a positive standpoint.
Q: What is the philosophy behind your work? A: My philosophy is if I can help one student redirect his or her behavior from negative to positive then my job is not in vain.
Q: What is your education background? A: I attended Clark College in Atlanta and Park University where I hold an Associates and Bachelors Degree in Psychology.
Q: Is there any connection between your work with children and what you do at the Gullah Festival? A: Every one of us should learn something new every day, and the Gullah Festival is a teaching and learning opportunity for the children, as well as adults.
Q: What is a special memory from your college days? A: While at Clark College, I sang with the jazz orchestra for four years and we were fortunate to perform and travel with jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, Mary Lou Williams, Ramsy Lewis, Jon Faddis and many more. We toured France and also performed two consecutive years at one of the World’s Largest Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland.
Q: Have you ever lived away from Beaufort? A: I lived in Southern California for five years and Albany, Georgia, for two years where I also worked with children. I came back to Beaufort because I had parents who were up in age and they needed me close to them.
Q: What is your role with The Gullah Festival? A: As project director, I am in charge of operations for the Gullah Festival weekend. Q: Why is supporting the Gullah festival important to you? A: Supporting the Gullah Festival is important to me because it’s a time when we as Beaufortonians can come together and enjoy one another while celebrating Memorial Day weekend the way people of the Gullah Culture of this area once celebrated many, many years ago in the name of unity, while honoring those who have given their lives for our beautiful country. It’s good to learn how others from different communities and cultures experienced life at times when things were not the way they are as we know it today. Maya Angelou once said, “If we don’t know where we’ve come from, we can’t know where we’re going”. All history should be very important to all Americans, if nothing more than to understand and or appreciate others. Q: What are your expectations for this year’s event? A: I have been working with The Gullah Festival, a nonprofit organization, for more than 20 years now. This year, things will be a little different as far as location and prices will be lower. The festival will be held at TCL (Technical College of the Lowcountry). There will still be vendors, music and entertainment, storytelling, a play, a pageant and many more fun activities during the course of the weekend. The festival has one day that is focuses on the children of Beaufort County and is opened for everyone to participate. We are fortunate to live in a city where there is a wealth of rich history and many different cultures to learn about and celebrate. We want everyone to please come out and partake in

A: As a Behavior Management Specialist, I provide effective positive behavior changes while providing supportive interventions to students and teachers. My goal is to replace negative behaviors with positive ones. Q: How does your work help children? A: Children need to know that they are not the only ones who experience challenges in life. They need encouragement as to different ways of looking at life such as looking at the glass being half full, as opposed to being half empty. Or

Q: Do you have any personal heroes? A: The first heroes who come to mind are my parents, they were my rock. My mother Emma J. Washington has always been my heart and my hero. She was truly a phenomenal women who was beautiful inside and out. She gave so much of herself to so many people for so many years. She was a cosmetologist who owned a beauty shop for more than 40 years where she trained others. She also worked as a social worker and she was a seamstress. She instilled strict morals and values in me. She always thought about others before herself. Did I mention that she was an excellent cook and a lover of people? My father John Washington was also a very hard worker all of his life. He was a man who stood up for what he believed in and he believed in helping people in any way that he could. They both believed in working hard for what you want in life. Because of them, I was afforded a college education and a wonderful childhood. They both were blessed to retire, enjoy their grandchildren and live until they were both 90 years old. Q: How did you meet your husband? A: I met my husband Coah Millen at Clark College in Atlanta more than 30 years ago. We have five children. Q: What do you like most about Beaufort?

Croon-meister Terry Herron is your vocalist and M.C, joined by his most talented friends.

High on the Hog BBQ A landscaper, a software engineer, an insurance executive, a fisherman, an architect, a project manager, a salesman: What do they all have in common? A love of barbecue ... South Carolina style. This group of amateurs and professionals all compete on the South Carolina BBQ Association circuit of competitive cooking events. In 2012 there were 29 events scheduled around the state and the same number is planned again for 2013. They are fundraisers, county fairs, local events and just plain fun — but very serious fun. The camaraderie is strong, but not as strong as the desire to win!!. They cook mostly butts and ribs (occasionally a whole hog) and are judged on taste, appearance, aroma, texture and overall impression. They arrive in cars, RV’s, vans, pick-ups, and fancy rigs. They cook with wood, gas, and charcoal. They use smokers, Big Green Eggs, homemade units and commercial units. They compete for points, cash, awards, prizes and for the love of barbecue. The next competition will be the 2nd Annual High on The Hog BBQ Festival, presented by CBC National Bank to benefit LowCountry Habitat for Humanity on June 7 and 8. Last year’s event was an immediate sell out, with more than 900 pounds of butts being cooked. With twice the number of cookers registered this year, over 1,800 pounds of butts, 600 pounds of ribs will be cooked and distributed as samples. But the samples will go quickly and it’s first come, first served. Be there when the doors open at noon on Saturday. In addition to the cooking teams, at least six restaurants will be selling their food, so there will be plenty of food for everyone. Bricks on
Boundary, Jim n Nicks from Bluffton, Sea Eagle, Brusters, Highway 21 Drive in and several more will on hand for the weekend. Friday evening will feature an Everything LowCountry Night, where the teams will be preparing their Lowcountry favorite recipes. Last year the teams made shrimp and grits, Frogmore Stew, apple cobbler and many more of their specialties. The Brewer Band starts at 6 p.m. and will play all night, while the crowd enjoys a Silent Auction and a Moonshine Tasting by Firefly Distillery. Saturday is the main event where certified judges will rate the pit master’s talents. They will have spent the entire night preparing the butts and ribs for the blind tasting and judging. Once the judges are finished, the butts and ribs are available for sampling. Island Meat Market will offer a whole hog pig pickin for those who want to purchase some bulk barbecue to take home. The Moonshine tasting will continue throughout the day, and the restaurants will continue selling their seafood, hotdogs, ice cream, funnel cakes, shaved ice, watermelon and much more. The kids activities will be ongoing throughout the day. All of his happening to the music of the Groovetones. A Gen’ral Store will be on site selling BBQ-related items including tees, aprons, hats, etc. Award-winning barbecue sauces and rubs, not available locally will be available for tastings and purchase. Tickets are $16 for Friday and $18 for Saturday and are available at www.highonthehogbeaufort.com, at the Visitor Center on Craven Street, the CenturyLink store on Boundary Street, local CBC National Bank offices and at the Habitat offices on Parris Island Gateway.

lunch bunch Lunch Bunch sets sail for Sea & Sand(wiches) with By Kim Harding
VINTAGE VOYAGES
Cruising the Beaufort waterways during your lunch hour aboard a beautifully restored, 1930 classic wooden yacht seems like a treat saved for the rich and famous. But Captain Tim Deckard and first mate Mare Deckard have made this luxury available by welcoming guests aboard the Annalee for Sea & Sand(wiches) — a one hour dock-to-dock getaway, with delectable picnic fixin’s, for an incredibly affordable fare. The Lunch Bunch enjoyed a relaxing cruise last week with the Deckards at the helm. The gourmet ham-andcheese, turkey club and chicken salad sandwiches, with yummy sides and dessert, were presented on Annalee vintage china and made for an elegant picnic lunch. We conversed, listened to music and even danced to a Motown mix while we cruised around and admired the scenic view of land from the yacht. Vintage Voyages departs from the Downtown Beaufort Marina and provides the perfect lunchtime getaway. For only $39 a person, Vintage Voyages will pamper you and your friends or office mates, providing a rejuvenating break you’ll not soon forget.

wine
This little piggy went to market... By Celia Strong
This is going to be a fun week with another new wine (of course!) that has a great name, great flavors, great possibilities. So, we return to Italy, Tuscany to be precise. Geographically, Tuscany is on the front side of the Italian boot — that means the Mediterranean, Western side, of the peninsula, just above the knee cap, of the boot. I thought, for fun, we could go off our usual serious path and look at several personalities from history. Not really wine-related personalities, but close enough that we can look and learn. We’ll start with Catherine de Medici, who was born in 1519. (As most of you know, the Medicis were a well known, powerful Tuscan family.) Raised by a cousin, the future Pope Clement VII, after her parents died, Catherine was married to Henri Duke of Orléans and became the Queen of France when Henri became the King. Despite being overshadowed by Henri’s mistress (maybe mistresses), Catherine is credited now with bringing Italian fine cooking and art to France. (Foods like small peas, artichokes, pasta, ice cream. And, too, eating with a fork.) Also, some reports claim, and I want to believe them, she brought back to Tuscany some of the French wine grapes. In particular, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which we need for this week’s wine. Thanks, Catherine! A later relative of Catherine’s, Cosimo III de’ Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was involved in Tuscan wines in the 18th century. His home was near Carmignano, a city about 10 miles northwest of Florence. In 1716, he declared four areas of Tuscany to be superior wine producers, including Carmignano. In the 18th century, winemakers here were already making better wines by blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon. This blending made the wines of Carmignano distinctly different than those of Chianti. Unfortunately, these early Cabernet vines in Tuscany were wiped out by the spread of phylloxera through Europe, and brought back in the 20th century. In 1975, Carmignano was the first
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
DOC wine that was officially allowed to use Cabernet Sauvignon in their wines. Suppose there’s any chance, being close to Chianti like Carmignano is, that this might have prodded Chianti winemakers into their innovations to make what became known as “Super Tuscans?” (Copycats?) We now have some tidbits of history related to this week’s wine, so next let’s look at our three grape varieties. Sangiovese is the main and great red variety of Tuscany, and the most widely planted red in the whole country of Italy. Sangiovese is a thin-skinned grape and produces rich, alcoholic wines that can be aged. These wines are fruity and naturally acidic making them great matches for tomatoes and other acidic foods including garlic, citrus fruits and fresh herbs. This acidity also lets Sangiovese wine go well with rich meats like rabbit and duck. (Yes, rich means fatty, but the acidity cuts through that type of fat.) Sangiovese’s flavors include lots of cherries, not sweet, plums, herbs and a bit of bitterness and earthiness. The second grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, is a thicker skinned grape, so it brings much more color to its wines, and more potential tannins too. These tannins also make Cabernet wines well suited to barrel aging, where they pick up vanilla and baking spice flavors. (Start thinking now about cherries with vanilla and cinnamon on top!) This grape brings chocolate, mint and tobacco to its wines, and a lot more texture too — texture that makes them go well with creamier cheeses, smoked meats and richer meats. And, grape number three is Merlot. Like Cabernet, this variety is more often thought of as a Bordeaux wine grape. In Tuscany, it is used, often in small percentages, as a blending grape. Merlot is not as thick skinned as Cabernet, so

The featured wine this
week is La Maialina Gertrude. Gertrude is the little pink pig on the label.
it is able to ripen earlier and do well in slightly cooler climates. It also makes full-bodied wines and has bright, black fruit flavors (blackberries, plums) and chocolate and violet notes like Cabernet. It pairs well with heavy seafoods and smoked meats. (And you should still being thinking about cherries, with vanilla and cinnamon and, now, chocolate sprinkles.) Our wine, finally, this week comes from a new winery for us called La Maialina. (my-ah-leen-ah). Founded in 2009, it’s not the oldest winery but it is already rich with history and traditions. The rolling hillsides of Tuscany where the winery is located provide a home that is perfect for the growing of Sangiovese. The area was settled first by the Etruscans, and then by the Romans. The earliest documentation of wines from Chianti dates back to the 13th century. Writings talk of a Chianti wine that flourished in the “Chianti Mountains” around Florence.
The name, La Maialina means “little pig.” It refers to the Cinta Senese heirloom breed of little pigs that originated near Siena, another nearby Tuscan town. These little pigs date back to the 14th century. Today, they are the only breed of native Tuscan pig that still survives. The “La Maialina” winery is right next door to where they live, at the pig farm. And, I’ve been told, they help the winery maintain their sustainable growing practices by donating all natural fertilizer for the vines. (This little piggy stayed home.) Our featured wine this week is La Maialina Gertrude. Gertrude is the little pink pig on the label. Because it does not follow the guidelines for a DOCG Chianti wine, although La Maialina does also make Chiantis, Gertrude is an IGT level wine. Not a problem, though, because we remember when “Super Tuscans” were first made they were a lower level than this. Gertrude is about 45 percent Sangiovese, 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 25 percent Merlot. Each grape variety is fermented separately at cool temperatures to augment fruit flavors in each of their wines, and in concrete vats to let the grapes do what they can. After blending, the wine is then aged in French oak for about 10 months. Aging it as a finished wine allows them to get us just the right amount of vanilla and cinnamon and chocolate sprinkles we need on top of our cherries. And, truly, that describes this wine. A bowl full of liquid cherries with seasonings. )Oops, I mean a glassful!) And, for those who don’t always love the dry, earthy nuances of some Chiantis, don’t worry, no sign of that here. Gertrude is rich and smooth textured, full flavored but has some subtleties if you sip it slowly enough. So far, I haven’t managed slowly. But I do love this wine. For $13.99, too. And just in time for summer. It pairs well with seafood and poultry, grilled, broiled, whatever. And, next fall, Gertrude will be great with duck with cherry sauce, salmon with blackberry sauce or dryrubbed pork tenderloins. This little piggy filled her glass and drank it all! Enjoy.

All about dog hair: NOT the cause of allergies By Tracie Korol
Contrary to myth and legend, you are not allergic to your dog’s hair. Dog hair itself is not an allergen. Mostly likely you are allergic to what’s under it or on it. Dander or old skin scales (similar to, only much smaller than, dandruff on the human scalp) constantly sluffs off your dog and into your environment clinging to furniture, draperies and wall coverings. It’s enough to totally creep you out if you think about it in too much detail. Dander occurs naturally as the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin, renews itself. The epidermis of dogs is quite thin; it is made up of many layers of cells that are constantly pushing upward to replace the cells above. As this process takes place about every 21 days, the outer cells die and flake off into the environment as dander. It has been found, incidentally, that the epidermal turnover is more rapid in breeds that are groomed frequently and especially in breeds that are prone to various forms of dry and oily seborrhea (Cocker and Springer Spaniels, West Highland White Terriers, Irish Setters, to name a few). Dander, being somewhat sticky, attracts dust and pollen thus becoming an allergen triple threat. People with dog allergies, my son included, have supersensitive immune systems that react to harmless proteins (the allergens) in the dog’s dander, saliva or urine. These proteins can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, skin rashes, headaches, fatigue,

This can happen within 5 to 30 minutes or occur much later as a delayed reaction. My son maintained a dog-free bedroom but once he appeared in a common area of the house would trumpet his arrival with a series of sneezes. Twenty-two in a row was his personal best. His symptoms appeared in his teens, only after I built my kennel and the dander-density rose to extraordinary levels. Aah, the irony. If you are unsure you (or your child) is allergic to dogs, yet want to have a dog, you can always go to a doctor and be tested. A cheaper method would be to visit the home of friend who has breed you’d like to have and hang around as long as you can. Hug and kiss the dog, rub your nose into its fur, and breath the air in the room where he lives. Let the dog lick your bare skin, especially on your neck (if you are brave) and inside your arms where the skin is more sensitive.

You want to test your allergic reaction both to the dander and saliva. This will help you to evaluate your current allergic reaction to that particular breed. Reactions may be delayed, sometimes up to two or three years so don’t plan on making a decision that day. That’s what happened in our family. My son lived happily and sneeze-free for years with Dave. Eighteen months into my new career of kenneling, my here-to-fore amazingly healthy child, developed allergies not only to dogs, but also to field grass and dust mites. To
combat his symptoms we established dog-free zones and installed HEPA filters, pulled up the carpets and tried to remember to bush-hog the 8 acres of field surrounding the house before the pollen got really juicy. Irony, once again. I purchased leather furniture and wiped it down daily. We established dog-free reserved seating — he had his chair and the dogs and I had ours. We vacuumed frequently using a HEPAfilter vacuum, aired the house when the pollen count was low and washed dog bedding and soft toys frequently. My car was the designated dog car. And there was always Claritin. It worked great when I could convince my son to take it. But he said it made him feel like he was walking under water and, more importantly, he felt it a moral indignation to have to take medicine in order to live in his own house. Until recently he lived dog and allergy free but as an animal lover, he couldn’t not have a dog. Bing, a pit bull/boxer, joined the family, and my son has resumed snuffling, but not as vigorously. It’s an inconvenience he endures but one of the smaller things you put up with for love.

GRAND OPENING IN BEAUFORT TINGLING? NUMBNESS? LEG PAIN? FOOT PAIN? Everyday we have more success relieving (the effects of) Neuropathy.
NOW It’s Your Turn for Relief! NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!
That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.
Call NOW To Schedule a FREE Conference With One Of Our Medical Team Members!
843-770-0009 THIS CLINICALLY PROVEN TREATMENT FOR NEUROPATHY MAY TAKE AWAY MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF YOUR PAIN.
It is safe and highly effective for most people...even diabetics. And, it’s covered by most insurance plans.
Do You Suffer From THESE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY? • • • • • • •
TIngling / Numbness Pins and Needles Hot / Burning Cold / Chilled Electric Like / Shocking Tightness / Vice-Like Swelling and Pressure
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY? Neuropathy has many different causes. The most common metabolic cause that we see in our office is in patients with diabetes. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy. As if the pain, numbness, swelling, burning, tingling, sleepless nights, balance issues, along with all the other symptoms that go along with neuropathy aren’t bad enough, approximately 86,000 Americans each year undergo amputations as a result of uncontrolled neuropathy.
