COVERING NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY

The agony of defeat

By Justin Jarrett

They lingered on the field and in the dugout well after the celebration on the other side of the field had died down, clinging to the final minutes of an era.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort softball team’s season ended — and with it, the careers of nine seniors who helped start the program four years ago — with consecutive losses to top-seeded Campbellsville (Ky.) in the USC Beaufort Bracket of the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round. For the second time in three seasons, the Sand Sharks fell one win short of the NAIA Softball World Series.

But afterwards, the focus was much more on all this group had accomplished.

The nine seniors took part in 161 wins over the past four seasons.

They won a regular-season Sun Conference championship, finished as regular-season runners-up three times, and won the Sun Conference Tournament twice, including a run of five straight victories to come through the loser’s bracket earlier this month.

Several times Wednesday it appeared they would add one more victory and one more accolade to the resume.

Volunteers formed two human chains to help deliver castle blocks, at bottom, and bags of processed oyster shells.

By Bob Sofaly

More than 120 volunteers gathered at the Port Royal Maritime Center on Saturday to help build an artificial oyster reef on the banks of the Chechessee River.

Peter Kingsley-Smith, a biologist with the SC Department of Natural Resources’ shellfish research section, said three different mediums were being used to give oysters a kick start and help new beds

form. “We have 120 volunteers gathered to lay out 300 castle blocks and 25 crab pots” for oysters to attach to, he said.

“We also have 250 bags of recycled oyster shells” that will be laid in the mud near the other oyster attractants. Kingsley-Smith said the science collaborative throughout the state would not be possible without a grant from the non-profit National Estuarine Research Society.

Special Olympics serves aces at Dataw It is the end of another year for athletes from Battery Creek and Beaufort Middle School who work with Special Olympics athletes in the National Project Unify program. This program places able bodied athletes with Special Olympics athletes to learn about a particular sport and the collaboration between Dataw, Battery Creek and Beaufort Middle School is currently the only program that provides tennis for these players.

For over ten years, a handful of Dataw Island residents and local supporters have sponsored Northern Beaufort County Special Olympics tennis. This weekly coaching allows a large number of Special Olympic athletes to compete with confidence at the Special Olympics.

“Dataw Island has been fortunate to host Battery Creek and Beaufort Middle for the past two years,” Warren Florence, Dataw Island Tennis Director said. “We look forward to continuing that relationship and seeing all of these students again in the fall.”

“I just love this program and we are so happy to be able to give back to the community and help these students play tennis and just have a good time,” said Laura Bricker, a Dataw Island resident and volunteer.

Program Unify will begin again when school resumes this fall and students will be playing tennis and learning valuable skills at Dataw Island every Wednesday throughout the fall and the spring.

TCL’s Perfect Pitch is music to our ears The Technical College of the Lowcountry’s Perfect Pitch competition recently struck a chord with several TCL students and community members alike.

Though the “pitch” involved here was not musical but entrepreneurial.

The competition, geared toward TCL students and alumni, allows budding entrepreneurs to present their welldeveloped business plans to a diverse panel of judges to compete for valuable funding.

Three participants were awarded a total of $7,000.

Business management student and winner Brent Hoffman, of Beaufort, was excited to receive funding to help him expand his DJ business, J Demonstr8 Mobile DJ Service.

“The funding from this competition will help me branch out to a much wider area and put me in direct contact with my target audience,” he said. “Plus, it will lead to increased exposure to my brand and will generate hundreds of leads to follow up with.”

Erin Walker, whose winning pitch was for her Beaufort-based walking food tour company called“A Taste of the Lowcountry,” plans to use her award to expand marketing efforts through her website, advertising, and social media practices.

seminars sponsored by groups such as SCORE, participating in TCL’s monthly Entrepreneurship Club meetings and even partnering with successful area entrepreneurs for mentoring.

“I was able to turn the business insideout and focus on every piece of it and come up with a winning strategy to ensure success,” Hoffman said.

Port Royal resident and business student Jessica Starleigh, whose winning pitch was for her professional organizing service called “Fairy God Mama,” says the Perfect Pitch program was well worth the effort.

“I have never worked so hard on TCL business management student Brent anything in my life I don’t think,” she Hoffman shows off his DJ skills as part of said. “But this competition has helped me his “Perfect Pitch.” gain more confidence as well as the seed These “Perfect Pitches” were more than money for my business.”

Business Instructor Candice Chastain just wishful whims and brainstorming says the extensive and demanding ideas, however.

Participants were required to present process has a very important goal: “The well-researched business plans that process makes the students truly evaluate included a comprehensive written whether or not the business is likely to be proposal; a detailed description of the financially successful,” she said.

Walker, who is a 2014 TCL hospitality business concept with a management, product/service, and marketing plan; and management graduate, echoes Chastain’s point. “The program taught me how estimated three-year financials.

Competitors started the process crucial having a solid plan in place is to months ago by attending workshops and the success of the company,” she said.

Walker also points to other benefits.

“The entire process gave me great constructive criticism to build a better business,” she said.

Community members were also excited to get involved. Callawassie residents Tom and Susan Potrykus chose to invest in the initiative as it supports successful community entrepreneurism.

“A healthy small business climate is what makes successful small towns, and the Perfect Pitch competition is all about being successful entrepreneurs,” he said.

Chastain agrees that the Perfect Pitch program is important to the local economy.

“The more businesses we can assist grow, the more our programs here at TCL can directly contribute to improving and supporting the local economy,” she said. “This program certainly helps in supporting a well-educated local workforce that is prepared to succeed.”

“The panel and other guests present were so helpful in sharing their experiences and wisdom with us,” Starleigh said. “It was just an amazing experience and opportunity overall.”

“It means so much to me to know that the local community believes in what I am doing as much as I do,” Hoffman said.

What sea animal is older than dinosaurs?

What bleeds blue blood, scavenges the seafloor with ten eyes, and is most closely related to spiders and scorpions? You got it, Horseshoe Crabs. That’s what!

Horseshoe Crabs may look like aliens, but they’re an indispensable part of both the medical world and coastal food webs across the globe. They’re also spawning in South Carolina until July.

Horseshoe Crabs come ashore en masse during spawning season to lay and fertilize eggs. The crabs appear in greatest numbers under the tides of full and new moons, laying their eggs where they’ll stand the best chance of survival.

These tiny, greenish eggs are packed with nutrients that sustain enormous flocks - and at times even entire species - of shorebirds. The survival of the Red Knot, a federally threatened shorebird, depends upon a plentiful supply of Horseshoe Crab eggs along their migration route, which can extend from the tip of South America to the Arctic.

Horseshoe Crabs can be a lifeline for humans, too. If you’ve ever received a flu shot, you’ve benefitted from the biology

of these unusual creatures. A test derived from their blood remains the best tool doctors have for checking the safety of injectable medicines and implantable medical devices. That means every tetanus shot administered and pacemaker implanted is first tested for bacterial contamination using an extract from Horseshoe Crab blood.

The Horseshoe Crab’s ecological and medical significance makes understanding and protecting the species a priority for Department of Natural Resources.

For over fifteen years, DNR biologists have participated in a national tagging program, affixing plastic disks with unique numeric codes to the shells of hundreds of Horseshoe Crabs so their movements can be tracked.

“In collaboration with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, SCDNR has tagged over 9,000 Horseshoe Crabs since 1997,” said marine scientist Dr. Amy Fowler. “Over the past year, we’ve conducted mark-recapture tagging studies, egg surveys on known spawning beaches, and the start of a population

genetic assessment.”

Last summer, a pilot study analyzing genetic samples from 100 St. Helena Sound Horseshoe Crabs indicated the crabs belonged to a relatively large and diverse population. DNR biologists will continue that work at the statewide level this summer to determine if significant genetic differentiation exists between Horseshoe Crabs living in separate estuaries along the coast of South Carolina.

Horseshoe Crab numbers have seen a steep decline across much of the eastern seaboard, due in part to their popularity as bait for eel and whelk fisheries.

South Carolina only allows harvest for biomedical and educational purposes; biomedical permit holders temporarily collect and extract blood from Horseshoe Crabs before returning them to South

Carolina waters.

If you see a tagged crab, report it by calling 1-888-546-8587 or go to http://www. fws.gov/crabtag. Also, if you encounter an overturned crab on the beach, turn him back over- but not by grabbing their tail which can injure them. Wave action can flip Horseshoe Crabs onto their shells as they come ashore to mate and lay eggs, killing many adults each year. By turning stranded Horseshoe Crabs over you can save a life and help ensure the health of their population in South Carolina.

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

William Harvey named to elite legal groups William B. Harvey, III moved to Beaufort with his family shortly after he was born. As an almost-lifelong resident, he now serves the Beaufort community as a partner in Harvey & Battey, P.A. and as the Beaufort city attorney. Recently, Bill (as he is known) was certified as a life member in both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, two of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States.

Growing up with a father and grandfather who were attorneys, Bill says that all he ever wanted to do was to become a lawyer himself and join his father’s firm.

Soon after graduating cum laude from the University Of South Carolina School Of Law, he did just that.

“I have had the joy and privilege of practicing law with my father for 33 years,” Bill says, “and the honor of continuing the family’s involvement in Harvey & Battey for a third generation.”

It was Henry Chambers, who Bill says was like second father to him when he was growing up, who encouraged him to apply for the open position of Beaufort

He enjoys playing the guitar, hunting, fishing and road cycling.

Bill and his wife Martha are the parents of William Brantley Harvey, IV, Laura W. Harvey and Stuart C. Harvey.

Bill says he is proud that Harvey & Battey has been, and continues to be, a stable force in the legal community of Beaufort and Lowcountry South Carolina, providing continuous services for over 93 years.

“I am especially proud of my ability to work for over 33 years with my father, Colden Battey, and the other attorneys in our firm. One of my professional goals is to remain in the leadership of Harvey & Battey until it reaches its 100th anniversary in 2022.”

It was the return engagement of Chicago’s Sugar Blue Band on Saturday evening for the kickoff of the 7th Annual Spring Series of Street Music on Paris Avenue in Port Royal. And nobody went home disappointed.

A rising dollar environment We wanted to spend some time on the US Dollar — to provide you with an updated view both short term and longer term on its technical picture, and the implications of its historical price movements. We find now is a very important time to delve into the behavior of the “greenback,” as it has very much been in the news.

The US Dollar has been newsworthy so far in 2015, as it has posted an eyepopping gain, taking it to levels not seen since September 2003, or 11 1/2 years. This bullish story for the dollar has been going on since May 2011, as it has been in a “rising dollar environment” since May 4th, 2011, making it now the

14

longest rising dollar environment since we’ve been tracking this currency.

Relative Strength has helped to keep us invested where the potential for strength Charles is. Historically, US Tumlin Equities, and Smalland Mid-Cap stocks in particular, tend to outperform the market in a rising dollar environment. Our portfolios have been overweight small and midcap US equites since 2012 and underweight International Equities since 2012.

This is in contrast to strategic asset

allocation strategies, which maintain static allocations to all asset classes, even when Relative Strength tells us to avoid or underweight an out of favor asset class.

THE PHILOSOPHER

My son called me the other day and said he was listening to audio podcasts in his car during his commute to work.

He was listening to the works of various philosophers and wanted to know my opinion on philosophy. I told him that my experience was limited to one semester in college spent with Plato, Socrates and Descartes. One of the benefits, I reminded him, of a Liberal Arts College is that you are exposed to lots of information that you normally would not choose to be exposed; hence the philosophy class. I told him that it took me awhile to get in the swing of the class, but before I knew it I was saying things like “I think, therefore I am “ a translated Rene Descartes line from my studying.

However, there was pressure at the time to actually understand the class because ultimately I was going to have

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

to write a term paper on the subject. I had to delve further into the class subject rather than just memorize the names of philosophers, where they lived and when. It turned out to be very interesting.

I learned about various philosophical theories and the class had some very lively debates. It was enlightening to learn that we have incorporated so much of these philosophies into our society and we are not even conscious of it. The Socratic Method is used by teachers all the time. It

is the practice of asking a student enough questions so they figure out the answer themselves without you giving them the answer. As parents, we do this all the time.

But the truth is that after I wrote the term paper and after I took my final exam, I moved on from philosophy until the 1980s. It was then that I was exposed to the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. Bill Watterson created the two characters.

The young precocious six year old Calvin

character was based on John Calvin the 16th century French Reformation Theologian. Hobbes, his pet stuffed tiger, was based on the philosopher, Thomas Hobbes who was a 17th century English political philosopher. Calvin’s little stuffed tiger would come to life when no one else was around. They had the best philosophical discussions.

It was amazing to watch these two characters examine the world around them and come up with some of the most profound observations.

Think about an average six year old child and how they spend their days asking, when, where, how and what.

It makes sense that Calvin’s pursuit of wisdom and his dialogue with Hobbes would draw the readers into his world.

So it turns out that without realizing it my son and I are still in that pursuit of wisdom. Socrates would be so happy.

The good, the bad and the southern

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Unmistakable is the drawl, unexplainable is the tone and unfortunate is the target of the Southern Woman’s disdain. As the social barometer rises in the sultry sweet south, one thing goes unaffected by the heightened humidity and lowered productivity.

Clearly heard at garden parties and cocktail hours all over the region, is the sing-song voice of southern women telling the world how they really feel. As far back as history can recall, the poetic and polite piercing of an untamed tongue often belongs to none other than the hospitable and often hostile women of the south.

We are taught manners, etiquette and the proper way to write a thank you note for every kind gesture known to man. By preschool, we have blessed enough hearts to rival the Pope. It is a skill sharpened and honed to perfection long before the less desirable or beneficial mastery of literature and arithmetic.

A southern woman can walk the line of linguistic laceration as though she were sashaying the red carpet.

As a public service, tourist guide, and warning to the wise, I have collected a few sentiments that quite possibly could save your life or at least your soiree. To understand, interpret and most importantly, avoid an encounter of the unkind exchange it is imperative to be able to identify the onset.

1. Oh my goodness - This delectable phrase can mean delight or detriment depending on which word is stressed. If there is a distinct pause between each

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.

Mr. Baer has strong feelings about the financial cuts happening to our Libraries and we have heard from others that this is an issue. It is all of our responsibilities to participate fully in the budget process or we lose the right to complain. So let Town Hall know what you are thinking.

- Molly Ingram, Editor 16

word, the best one can hope for is immediate shelter. If ‘goodness’ is drawn out to exceed two syllables paramedics should be notified.

2. Sweetheart - All too often this sugary salutation is misconstrued as endearment. If an eye brow or wine glass is raised, it is not endearing.

Cherimie Crane Not endearing at all. May heaven Weatherford and Oprah help you should ‘listen here’ proceed this foreboding term.

3. Did she/he really? - If this is muttered someone, somewhere will not be sleeping tonight. Often confused for a question when in reality it is a statement of intent and that intent is not to share a recipe for apple pie.

4. I shouldn’t say this but... - Prepare for an onslaught. This could go on for quite some time. Do not interrupt, intervene or attempt to argue. Simply nod and politely insert and occasionally ‘Oh no’.

5. You’ve done something different to you hair - A confirmation that your hair dresser wasn’t on their A-game at your last appointment. Acknowledge the observation and blame the humidity.

6. I haven’t seen you at church - Obviously you are living a life of crime or at least a life of shame. Quickly clear your Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday evening schedule for the next three months until someone else is missed from church.

7. Awe, look at her - When spoken during the

summer months this is a direct reference to how her bikini fits. It is an unspoken agreement that all southern women understand. If you don’t understand, don’t wear a bikini.

8. Isn’t he/she great? - This is a strategic interrogation, not a compliment. Your answer will determine your social fate. The best response is to sneeze or faint and to do so quickly.

9. Where are you from? - The slippery slope of seemingly innocent conversation. If you aren’t drinking sweet tea, wearing top siders or sporting the summer sandbar tan, the answer isn’t important. It is just to buy time until cocktails are served.

10. Last but never least, Bless your heart - I have considered writing an expose on this sole phrase; however, some things are best left alone.

Like casseroles after catastrophe, white platters at weddings and girdles after Thanksgiving, some things are just sacred. Just understand that your heart could possibly be blessed or it could be the beginning of your indoctrination to a language where even insults are held in high regard. It is the good, the bad and the southern. Welcome to the sultry south where the days are hot, the nights are hotter and the women are as sweet as can be until they aren’t. Happy Summer Ya’ll.

What happened to our libraries?

Kubic. They were made aware of these problems in 2013 but did no investigation or search for cures.

That’s especially sad when contrasted with the energy they put into their own pet projects.

Most of County Council looked the other way while our Library System was stripped and sank to a low State ranking. Citizens must step in. An independent, quantitative oversight group needs to study the numbers, make recommendations, monitor their implementation, and ring alarm bells when needed. The Trustees, Library Director and Friends should be a part of this. We should not aim to have the worst Library System in the State.

From FY 2010 to 2015 County Council reduced the Library budget by 22%, while the number of major branches increased by 33%. • In addition, because of staffing freezes, our Libraries had to return roughly an additional 8% ($300,000) per year to the General Fund. Over $1 million more was pulled from the Libraries this way. Those funds went to the County Reserve and could be used elsewhere. This was reported to Council in 2013, but they did nothing. • Those budget cuts forced Library hours to be cut from 60 (66 at Bluffton) to 40. We got them back to 50, but that is now threatened again. • According to State data for 8 similar Counties, we are at the bottom in key Library indicators despite being the wealthiest. • The buck stops with Councilpersons: Sommerville, Rodman, Stewart, McBride, and Administrator

Basketball court shootings raise questions

By Bill Rauch

The Community Circle of Hope Coalition’s Anita Singleton-Prather told it to the Beaufort County Council like it was last week. Speaking of the recent murders of two young men on the county’s Greene Street outdoor basketball court she said, “It’s not over. With school getting out and no jobs and nowhere to go, the rumbling is still in the community. I don’t want the blood on my hands because I didn’t come down here to tell you.”

Beaufort Police Chief Matthew Clancy sat quietly in the audience.

His department is investigating the fatal shootings of Detuan Jenkins, 19, and Matthew Horne, 20, the two men who were shot and killed recently in separate incidents at the basketball court. Horne was allegedly involved in the neighborhood mayhem last year that caused the lockdown of the USCB and Bridges School campuses.

The police have been holding an 18 year-old Beaufort man on murder charges in connection with the shooting of Jenkins, according to The Beaufort County Detention Center’s website.

On Sunday the police picked up a Beaufort teenager in connection with Horne’s killing. He is now being held for murder in the Beaufort County Detention Center too, according to the jail’s website.

Darryl T. Murphy, the host of “Open Mic” on The Gullah People’s Radio Station, also spoke at the meeting. He pointed out, as did Ms. SingletonPrather, that the county’s Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center that is adjacent to the outdoor basketball court on Greene Street is no longer available to the neighborhood. The county rented the building to the Bridges School two years ago. Since then there’s been no access to the building, including to its bathrooms, for anyone over 13 years of age who is not associated with the school.

Referring to the Pepper Hall land purchase issue that dominated last week’s County Council meeting, Murphy told the County Council, “You’ve got 12 million dollars to spend to preserve a view in another area, but you have no money to provide the Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center outdoor basketball court with a public facility? Am I the one who’s crazy, or is it those who are making these decisions? It bothers me that a girl has nowhere to go but in the bushes.” Ms. Singleton-Prather described to the County Council a whole youth program she and her group have ready to go, including more than 50 qualified instructors who will work on a pro bono basis, except that they have no classrooms.

The loss to the neighborhood of the Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center building is just the latest example of government walking away from the Northwest Quadrant community. Over the past few years as the number of police calls citywide has steadily risen and the number of

A reporter, publisher, ghostwriter and author, Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Bill can be reached at TheRauchReport@ gmail.com.

Beaufort Police Department officers available to respond to those calls has remained the same there have been fewer and fewer officers with the time to do the proactive policing work known as “community policing” that law enforcement experts agree is necessary to keeping communities safe. Now when officers respond to calls in the neighborhood it is less likely these responding officers know who’s who. And that’s when mistakes get made.

Community police officers would also have been, for example, there to predict that leasing out the Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center building, following the closing of The Boys and Girls Club, might lead to trouble, and they would have been powerful voices standing up for the neighborhood. But the department was uninvolved in that decision, its public information officer, Cpl. Hope Able, confirmed last week. A C+ community policing operation would also be vaporizing the graffiti that is emerging as a new symbol of Beaufort’s unwillingness to fight this fight.

Are these important turns of events just the inadvertent results of government belt-tightening, as taken individually they may appear, or are they the throughput of a larger policy?

Beaufort’s 2014 Civic Master Plan calls for the gentrification (redevelopment) of the Northwest Quadrant. That initiative marks a major shift in the city’s policy with respect to that neighborhood. In previous years the city’s policy called for the preservation of the Northwest Quadrant neighborhood.

City policy matters.

The gentrification is occurring now and the pressures from it are evident everywhere -- from the closing of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store, to the closing to the community of the Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center, to the shootings. There have been a record six murders – all by gunshots -- in northern Beaufort County, three of which have occurred in the Northwest Quadrant, so far this year, ‘ The Beaufort Gazette’ reported Sunday.

Derek Clement, a Harrington Street resident, feels it. “Over the last year the crime has gotten out of control. Just this year we’ve had 3 murders within a 1/2 mile of our house and we routinely hear gunshots at night. We [the neighborhood] cannot get a clear idea, or even a response, from City Council as to what they are doing to address and put a stop to the crime downtown.”

Another neighborhood resident, Joy Kraft, expressed similar thoughts in a recent letter to City Council: “A neighborhood in transition needs pioneer renovators as well as loyal long-time residents looking for a quality, stable environment for their families, protected from gunshots and drug deals.”

With parents working or gone, the Boys and Girls Club gone, the Charles “Lind” Brown Activity Center gone, the neighborhood police gone, and now their traditional neighborhood going, a lot of infrastructure has been lost recently by some of Beaufort’s young people.

Moreover, secularism – the chasing out of any hint of God or religion or religious teaching from the country’s schools and governments – is clearly also having an effect. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, since 2007 one percent of Americans per year have changed their religious affiliation from “Christian” to “none.”

“It’s getting harder and harder to keep young people in the church today,” Reverend Kenneth F. Hodges, the pastor at Tabernacle Baptist Church on Craven Street observed recently. “ The social fabric is kind of unraveling. We don’t see that ‘it takes a village’ community in Beaufort the way it used to be.” In addition to serving as Tabernacle’s pastor, Hodges represents much of the Beaufort area in the South Carolina House of Representatives, and he runs the Lybensons Art Gallery on Charles Street.

Where such an infrastructure void is created, there will be others who will seek to step in to fill it.

For Detuan Jenkins, 19, whose street name, according to his Facebook page was “lil tuan,” law enforcement sources say they suspect it was a gang affiliation and drug money that caused the disagreement

“Vacant lots and dilapidated homes beyond repair represent an opportunity to accommodate a significant amount of growth through infill redevelopment within Beaufort’s block network in the Northwest Quadrant.” -The City of Beaufort’s Civic Master Plan

The city’s redevelopment plan for several key Northwest Quadrant city blocks as depicted on page 109 of Beaufort’s 2014 Civic Master Plan.

The darker proposed buildings would be new “in-filled” buildings. The plan would roughly triple the density of the neighborhood.

that was settled by the fatal bullet.

That Jenkins described his job on his Facebook page as “lik city gangsta/ jacc boys” seems to support law enforcement’s suspicions.

For Matthew Horne, 20, from the Dale community and known on the street as “lil Matt,” who was shot three weeks ago, investigators are also pursuing drug and gang leads.

Dale is the home base of the Finesse Gang who have a video on YouTube that is of interest to law enforcement.

“Nothing in recent cases suggests anyone was affiliated in any specific gang or group,” Cpl. Hope Able cautioned Friday. “ This creates a unique opportunity for the churches, the county and the city to come together to demonstrate that we are our brother’s keeper,” Reverend Hodges concluded. “It still takes a village to raise a child.”

wine

Mira Mira in my glass

By Celia Strong

Hopefully, today and today’s wine will be fun for all of us. It is a new wine.

And, a new winery. Not a new grape variety, but one that is so well suited to the warm weather. Warm weather, in case you haven’t noticed, has started.

And that includes our lovely humidity.

So, as we do every year, as the warm and humid come again, we are going to be looking for the appropriate wines.

Lighter, chillable, and refreshing. And cost effective, too. I’m thinking we may have found such a wine this week. But, wait. We have to have our lesson first.

That way our wine is better understood and appreciated. So, off we go.

Our wine is from Napa, California.

From a relatively new winery called Mira.

Mira is the creation of two men. Formed in 2009, (See how new?) by Jim “Bear” Dyke, Jr. and Gustavo Gonzales. Bear had a career in politics, in Washington, D C. Gustavo is a winemaker, and we’ll get back to him later. Mira Winery uses grapes from well known, Napa Valley AVAs - Stags Leap District, Los Carneros and Rutherford. Because of his many years working in Napa, Gustavo has great relationships with many of the best wine grape growers in Napa.

This means he can get their grapes. This means he has resources for great wines.

When we learn more about him, we’ll see how great.

Our grape variety from Mira is Sauvignon Blanc. Always a good variety for what we’re looking for this time of year. This is a green-skinned variety that originated in the Bordeaux region of France. Its name is probably from the French words “sauvage,” meaning “wild,” and “blanc,” which means “white.” Today, Sauvignon Blanc is grown in almost all the wine producing regions in the world. Interestingly, depending on the

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

climate where it is grown, Sauvignon Blanc wines can have a variety of flavors in them. In warm climates, like South Africa, Australia, and California, the grapes bud late and do well when not exposed to overwhelming heat. That means in these warm areas, cooler growing sections are sought out for this variety. One of the original Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc wines was made by Robert Mondavi, Sr. In 1968, he had a particularly good crop of these grapes, and made the first “Fumé Blanc.” Seems, at that point, selling Sauvignon Blanc wine in the United States was way more difficult than now. So, he changed the name and the rest is history. Over the years, California Sauvignon Blanc wines became known for their grassy flavors and aggressive aromas. Mondavi, again, decided to tame some of that aggressiveness with barrel aging. Today, California wines from this variety fall into two types. Those in a more New Zealand style, with citrus and passion fruit nuances, tropical undertones and higher acidity levels. And, the Mondavi Fumé style, with rounder, less sharp acids, and melon flavors.

Because it means something to us, this week, we need to remember (which in all fairness I do know we’ve covered before, but I, for one, do not really remember) that Sauvignon Blanc first came to California in the 1880’s.

Charles Wetmore, the founder of Cresta Blanca Winery brought cuttings from

Sauternes vineyards in Bordeaux. From the great Chateau d’Yquem. He planted them in the Livermore Valley. South of our Napa Valley of today’s wine.

Moving on, let’s get back to our winemaker, Gustavo Gonzales. Gustavo has been making wines for more than two decades. He studied at the University of California, at Davis and Berkeley. He started work at the Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa first, in 1995, as a laboratory technician, then as winemaker, in 1999. And, he speaks five languages. Over the years, he has made wines in Burgundy, France, Argentina, Spain and Italy. Besides the United States. In Italy, in 2001, he helped make the 2001 vintage of Masseto, an Ornellaie wine, that received a one hundred point rating. That makes him really good in my book. And, that means we should have a really good wine this week!

For a moment, now, let’s look at Sauvignon Blanc’s flavors. Generally, fruit flavors in its wines include green apple, Asian pear, kiwi, passion fruit, quava, white peach, nectarine, lime.

Other flavors include green bell pepper, gooseberry, jalapeño, grass, tarragon, lovage, celery, lemongrass, chalk, wet concrete. Flavors in Sauvignon Blanc wines that have some barrel aging include vanilla, pie crust, dill, coconut, butter and nutmeg. When you are pairing a Sauvignon Blanc wine with foods, the more you know about the wines’ flavors, the better the pairing will be. Greener style Sauvignon Blancs go with green flavors in your foods. That means herb flavors. So, a salsa with fresh tomatoes, onions and cilantro will go really well with a wine with herb flavors. Even if the herbs are not exactly the same, the nuances will work. For meats, white meats like chicken, pork loin, turkey all

work well. And fish - Tilapia, Sea Bass, Halibut, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, Snapper - all pair well. For cheeses, softer more briny and sour types work well. Like goat cheeses, yogurt and crème fraîche. Green vegetables and fattier vegetarian dishes do well with these wines. Hummus. White bean casserole.

White lasagnas.

Finally, phew, it’s time for our Sauvignon Blanc. The Mira 2011 Sauvignon Blanc is light and crisp. It is one hundred percent this grape, one hundred percent Napa Valley, and all organically grown. Its flavors include white peach, ripe grapefruits and citrus blossoms. Plus minerality. There is intensity in this wine along with perfectly balanced acidity. Ninety-five percent of the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Whole clusters of grapes are pressed for fermentation.

The other five percent is aged in French oak barrels for nine months. So, we should probably figure this is more a “New Zealand” style Napa Sauvignon Blanc. This means, for food, we can go all over. Poultry, seafood, shellfish - all grilled, roasted, fried, and even raw when applicable. Goat cheeses. Spread on garlic brushed toasted bread slices, topped with fresh cut herbs of your choice. Local tomatoes. Sorry, but that’s enough. I’m getting hungry and thirsty.

Mira, Mira in my glass. Who can pour me some really fast? For $11.97. Enjoy.

By Dr. Parker T. Barker Do you know what it means when school is out? Vacations, that’s what!

But before you get all excited, I want to remind all the Mom’s and Dad’s out there about some basic “good practices” they should be aware of.

The first obvious question is whether you plan on taking us with you. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t want us to come with you to East Sandusky, but I know that sometimes it just isn’t a good idea.

Like the time I went to Aunt Ethel’s birthday party. I didn’t know the cake was for everybody...sheeesh.

So if we aren’t going to go with you, who is going to take care of us?

I personally like to go to Shelly’s Dr. Parker T. house where I can Barker play on the sofa and run around her big fenced yard. She is a “dog sitter” but she hasn’t ever sat on me so I’m not sure what that means. Sometimes Mom has found somebody to come and stay at our house when they are away. That is like having a friend come for a sleepover.

It’s lots of fun and no stress for me because I have everything that is familiar around me.

My friend, Harley likes to go to a kennel where he can just hang out all day and chill. When choosing a kennel, my furry friends have found the difference between a good kennel and a superduper off the charts great kennel is… wait for it…..that they let you go out and pee around 10 or 11 at night. Boy does that make a difference. Otherwise, the kennel people take off around 6 p.m.

LET’S HEAR FROM YOU! What do you think my dog park buddies are saying below? Send us your thoughts and Percy and I will pick the best ones and run them on Facebook with your name next week. Become famous. Channel your inner dog…Let’s hear from you. theislandnews@gmail.com.

the island news | may 21-27, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

and don’t come back until maybe 8 a.m. the next morning. Seriously, does that sound like a good idea? And people wonder why kennels stress some of us out so much.

Now, if you do decide to take us with you, think about doing some serious planning ahead of time. Like making sure wherever we are going to stay actually wants us. Aunt Ethel might be in the “not in my house” category but some hotels and inns are “pet friendly”.

But, just because a Hilton in Cleveland takes pets, doesn’t mean a Hilton in San Jose will take us as well. Call and make sure. Personally, you can leave San Jose off the list in general.

It is also a good idea to have a vet check me out before we go just to make sure I’m not coming down with the flu or anything. Also, bring my bed, favorite toys, and don’t forget my medicine if I’m on any. And then there are my medical records, my health certificate and rabies vaccination, too. If for some unimaginable reason a policeman happened to stop Dad, he might ask to see those papers and if you don’t have

them, we could all end up in the pokey.

Now, that would be some vacation to tell the gang about!

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center. He lives on Lady’s Island with his sister, Peanut and their great Mom. Prof. Percy Pussycat is a trained animal behaviourist and received his degree from the Canine and Cat Institute in London. He lives in Shell Point with his brother, Harley and devoted human family.
