New BHS principal named Corey Murphy, a high school principal in Chester County and a U.S. Army Reserve captain who recently returned home from a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan, will take over as the new principal of Beaufort High on June 18.

The Board of Education unanimously

approved his selection at a special meeting Tuesday, May 30.

In Murphy’s five years as principal of Great Falls High, the school’s ontime graduation rate improved from 74 percent to 83 percent. Great Falls High serves about 500 students in grades 6-12.

“Everyone who has spoken with Mr. Murphy has come away very impressed,” said Superintendent Valerie Truesdale.

“He sets high standards not only for students’ academic performance, but also for their personal behavior and decorum.”

HIGH on the hog

By Tess Malijenovsky

L

owcountry Habitat for Humanity’s inaugural fundraiser High on the Hog BBQ Festival is all about that pork and Lowcountry cuisine. The barbecue competition is likely to draw competitors from across the South while raising money for families in need of homes here in Beaufort.

“With South Carolina being the BBQ headquarters of the South, we thought we’d try something a little different,” said Bob Albon, chairman of the festival and Habitat Board Member.

Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity has paired with the South Carolina Barbecue Association — the largest organization of its kind — to summon barbecue chefs from all over the state, North Carolina and Georgia. Albon suspects 15 to 20 teams will travel to Beaufort to compete in the two-day event.

Friday, June 8, from 5-9 p.m. is “Everything Lowcountry,” an evening of sampling favorite down-home dishes such as mac

and cheese, shrimp and grits and frogmore stew. There will also be live music by Chris Holly.

Then, throughout the night, barbecuers will begin smoking traditional pork butts and ribs for Saturday’s SC BBQ Association sanctioned event. From 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, festival-goers can taste all the competing barbecue for the price of one wristband.

Quentin Tedder and his wife Barbara are Beaufortonians who enjoy traveling all over the state to eat barbecue. In fact, they are two of the Senior Judges from the SC BBQ Association. Quentin explained that the competition will have blind judging and that the barbecue will be judged based on five categories: appearance, aroma, tenderness, taste and overall. “The scores will be within tenths of a point — it’s that competitive,” said Quentin. Needless to say, the competition will make for some delicious barbecue.

Pickin by the River

On Saturday, June 2, from noon to 5 p.m., come play or listen to bluegrass, country and folk music in Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. There will be a stage show and open jams. All acoustic instruments please, no drums, no alcohol, no amps. If you have a group and would like to play on stage, call 843-379-9084. The gathering seems a way to pay tribute to one of the greatest pickers, Doc Watson, who passed away Tuesday at age 89.

Beaufort seeks volunteers to roll up sleeves on form-based code Knowledgeable volunteers are needed to review and critique Beaufort’s new Form-Based Code, an in-depth guide to how the historic city should develop over the next century.

The committee will be formed by midJune with work expected to start in August.

The hands-on, line-by-line review of the 400-page document will ensure the document “fits” Beaufort, said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling.

“What we’re doing is ‘Beaufortizing’ the code so it fits and protects what we have while taking our hometown to the next level of excellence,” he said. “Those before us worked very hard to create and protect our history, our natural resources, our scenery and scenic vistas.

We need to be sure the Form-Based Code we put into place recognizes and celebrates those elements.”

Members of the Beaufort FormBased Code Advisory Committee will be asked to: • Ensure that the draft document is easily understood by all user groups and contains the right balance of content and layout to make it userfriendly; • Review and recommend an appropriate development review

process to streamline the process while ensuring adequate protections; • Properly calibrate and coordinate the code with the recommended regulatory plans and strategies in the Civic Master Plan, Comprehensive Plan, the Historic Preservation Plan, and any other relevant adopted plan or policy.

Qualified members should be willing be meet twice a month and ideally will have technical expertise or strong interest in the development process, code standards and/or design, and be able to build consensus. Committee members are required to be Beaufort residents.

All interested individuals should submit an application to the City Clerk or the Beaufort Planning Department

by June 15. Applications are available at www.cityofbeaufort.org under Boards and Commissions.

“Ideally, the advisory committee will be comprised of a balanced group of 12-16 key stakeholders who are intimately involved in the development process, including both technicians such as designers and engineers as well as citizen leaders and board volunteers,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling.

At a minimum, the committee likely

will include representation from the following groups: • Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission: two members Design Review Board: one member • Zoning Board of Appeals: one member • Historic District Review Board/ Historic Beaufort Foundation: two members • City Council: One to two members • Redevelopment Commission: One to two members • Area developers/builders: Two to four members • Others (designers, active neighborhood leaders, etc.): Two members Committee members will be asked to review the draft ordinance, section by section and in some cases line by line. “It can be a tedious review process but is completely necessary so that everyone is comfortable with the approach,” said Craig Lewis of Beaufort’s Office of Civic Investment and the Lawrence Group.

Members will be asked to come to committee meetings having read and reviewed the sections in advance so that the committee can move through sections faster.

The local organization completed its 39th house north of the Broad river on St. Helena Island about three weeks ago. Albon says Habitat is currently working on a “churchbuilt” house in downtown Beaufort (behind the Boys & Girls Club) that was funded by local churches.

Stories from the Surf

By Jack Sparacino

My wife, Jane, sometimes tells people that I must have been born with a fishing rod in my hands. Well, not quite, though I have been at it a long while and it is a passion. Some of my very favorite fishing experiences have been off the beaches and piers of both coasts, including acrobatic blues from the surf at Great Point in Nantucket and muscular bonito and kelp bass off the famous Malibu and Santa Monica piers in California. Along with the wonderful scenery and fishing, I’ve been fortunate to meet some interesting people, both fishermen and “non’s” alike, and to harvest a string of memorable stories.

Collectively, they represent a box of unforgettable keepsakes in my mind.

That lucky string rolls along here.

Last year, my friend Steve Brotzman and I met more wonderful people while fishing at Hunting Island. The first story here comes from an afternoon of surf casting, the second from the pier. While we caught fish both days, these stories are really about the people we met and why they help make the Lowcountry fishing experience so special.

1. 110 in the shade. We picked a beautiful October day and headed out for Hunting Island beach. Reports we heard first hand earlier in the week at the Nature Center of TUNA being caught off the beach piqued our interest.

Frankly, though, it sounded too good to be true so we prepared for the usual whiting and small sharks. Which is mostly what we caught, along with small pompano and even a sand dollar.

We took a break after an hour or so to reassess our bait situation and grab a soda from the cooler. Steve then ambled across the jetty to say hello to a family

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

Last year, my friend and I met many wonderful people while fishing at Hunting Island. The first story here comes from an afternoon of surf casting, the second from the pier. While we caught fish both days, these stories are really about the people we met and why they help make the Lowcountry fishing experience so special. playing in the surf.

What a nice family, it turned out.

The father was mid-30’s, we estimated, as was his wife. Both attractive and fit, accompanied by their two children and two dogs. This “postcard” soon became more interesting as Steve learned that the man was born in the Dominican Republic, was now an active Marine, and was stationed here. As the conversation unfolded, Steve noted that he was old enough to be the man’s grandfather. “No, you’re really not,” our Marine noted, “my father was born in August, 1900.” Wow, Steve thought, that’s incredible ... “when did he die?” “Oh, he’s still alive” said our Marine, “and just had his 110th birthday party back home in Mendoza.”

We marveled at this encounter as we headed home. Back at his computer, Steve did a little digging on Wikipedia and found a list of people known to be 110. A bit more sleuth work uncovered a web video of the birthday party for the man from Mendoza, which we watched with amazement and delight.

The gentleman in question, Jose Lantigua Ramirez, has 24 children and (deep breath...) 1,200 grand, great grand, and great great grandchildren.

He attributed his super longevity to perseverance and persistence.

Judging from the video clip, which you can view on YouTube by typing in “Hombre dominicano celebra sus 110 anos de vida,” there must be a lot of additional mileage to be gained by being enveloped by the shade cast by a huge, rapturous family. If a picture was ever worth a thousand words, this one sure proves the point. Happy birthday indeed, Senior Lantigua Ramirez!

2. Living off the land. Our second story comes from the Hunting Island pier, one of our favorite places to play with the fish and meet people. Lots of tourists, easy to identify by their questions (what kind of fish/bird is that, is that a dolphin, what are you using for bait, etc.) or clothing (pink is usually a giveaway, as are Beaufort shirts though in my case a Beaufort hat is a necessity).

But also lots of locals and some semilocals, like two ladies from Sun City.

We didn’t recall their names, but they were smiling from ear to ear at all the whiting they were catching (yes, Steve and I caught our share, too, though it was incidental on this perfectly lovely day.) They told us how well the fish

would go with a dinner including the vegetables they grow themselves and how they loved to crab. They were also excited about taking Jack a class to learn how Sparacino to throw a cast net so they could catch their own shrimp and baitfish for their crab traps.

We nodded and laughed in admiration as they explained how little they spent on food, though they planned to stop at Dempseys on their way home to pick up some supplementary produce and they also liked to stop in Beaufort for lunch.

They reminded me of a conversation we had with some of our son’s friends who came here to visit. Both Laura Amodeo and Rachel Stern dove right into the fishing and crabbing, marveling at the ready abundance of seafood in the Lowcountry. They even took it upon themselves to jump into the creek bed behind our house at low tide one day — in January no less. Within a half hour, they jumped back up over the bulkhead with a pail of husky mussels that they dug out of the mud. “Livin’ off the land!” they shouted in unison. Then they proceeded to make delectable lemon squares using some of the Meyer lemons we grow in our back yard.

In subsequent trips back to the pier, we’ve met and chatted with an unending stream of interesting locals and visitors.

With such good company and gorgeous scenery to be had each time out, catching dinner takes a distinctly back seat. Well, not quite. We always love the wonderful meals afterward, perfectly seasoned by those stories from the surf.

The power of female friendship She hands you water when you have had too much wine and she hands you wine when you have had too much life Few women can recall momentous events that aren’t shaded by the colors of their closest friends ... There is no sweeter bond, no more protective barrier, and no more guaranteed source of havoc than a best friend.

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford It is found in preschools, gym classes, dance lessons, bathroom stalls and occasionally in that hour where the whole world seems to have gone blindingly dark; a sympathetic glance, a shared tissue, a gentle hand that silently screams, I am here and we can handle it. It is female friendship, the foundation of most anything memorable and necessary for anything manageable. Such a sacred, sweet and fierce bond is formed in that one moment where one woman sees herself in another. When the competition fades, the jealously subsides, and the learned habit of judgment sheds its cloak and the true feminine mystique reigns.

Few women can recall momentous events that aren’t shaded by the colors of their closest friends. Notorious as our gender may be for devouring our own, every woman has at least two females who would readily walk through fire at first summons. It isn’t always family, it isn’t always the most likely of pairings, but it is always certain, safe, and without

condition. There is no sweeter bond, no more protective barrier, and no more guranteed source of havoc than a best friend.

She will love you, hate you, envy you but always stand by you. She will borrow your favorite dress, lose your favorite purse, and never fail to say the absolute worst thing at the absolute worst time. She will hand you water when you have had too much wine.

She will had you wine when you have had too much life. Her problems become your problems, her victories your triumph, your shoes her possession. She will be the reason you smile, the reason you cry and the reason you need substantial bail money.

Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Anytime three women are spotted it is quite simple for any experienced observer to identify the most obvious of personalities required to create such a trio. There is usually one who occasionally finds Jesus and loses her sense of humor, one who loses her religion and finds Earl, and one who is too busy finding the other two to lose much of anything but sleep.

Thus is the making of soul mates and a life time of shared secrets, shared success and shared shoes.

Just as a cartoon with a devil and an angel perched on ones shoulders so is life with two closets friends. The devil is far more fun, but much more likely to land you in prison while the angel is grounded, responsible and reminds you to act your age. It takes a village to raise a woman,

and it takes two best friends to keep her standing tall.

If I ever manage to sit still for longer than 47 minutes at a time, there will be a book, a novel, a horror story intertwined with comedic chaos and the purest exposure of human nature as one can experience.

It will be the highlights and late nights of my life with my two closest friends. An honest account of what it means to live in one body with three heads, three mouths, and only four ears. Friendship seasoned with shouldn’t haves, couldn’t haves, and wouldn’t have any other way.

My cup runneth over with the sisterhood of two amazing women. One I know will forever enrich my life with late night phone calls, missing cars, and shenanigans that make me laugh until I cry, and one, who with a moment’s notice, morphs into an army of one standing ready in my defense.

The real feminine mystique resides in the power of sisterhood, the ability to love that which you are, that which you are not, and accept that your favorite shoes will always be missing.

Blinding eye diseases may show no early symptoms Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

The American Academy of Ophthalmology urges all Americans to make regular dilated eye exams a part of their health routine during Healthy Vision Month. Observed each year during the month of May, Healthy Vision Month is an annual campaign to educate the public about ways to make their healthy vision last a lifetime. In addition to routine eye exams, healthy habits — such as a nutritious diet, regular exercise, not smoking, and wearing sunglasses — can help prevent eye disease and vision loss.

There are seldom any warning signs or symptoms during the early stages of serious eye diseases like glaucoma, agerelated macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. However, it is in the early stages of disease that treatments can most effectively prevent blindness. The only way

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com to catch many eye diseases early is through routine screening.

Most Americans understand the importance of regular dental visits or cancer screenings, but often forget about their eye health until they notice a problem.

Too often, this costs patients their vision.

A dilated eye exam is the only way to catch eye disease early so that preventive measures can be taken to save sight.”

Eye Exam 101 A comprehensive eye exam is a

painless procedure that can detect potentially sight-robbing conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, even before a patient experiences any symptoms. A comprehensive eye exam should cover the following: • Medical history, assessed through questions about vision and family history.

• Visual acuity, tested by reading a standardized eye chart.

• Pupils, evaluated to determine how well they respond to light.

• Eye movement, tested to ensure proper eye alignment and ocular muscle function.

• Prescription for corrective lenses, evaluated to ensure proper vision correction.

• Side vision, tested for possible vision loss and glaucoma risk.

• Eye pressure, tested as a risk factor for glaucoma.

• Front part of the eye, examined to reveal any cataracts, corneal scars or signs of inflammation.

• Retina and optic nerve, assessed through a dilated eye exam using special eye drops, which allows an ophthalmologist to thoroughly examine the back of the eye for signs of damage from disease.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that all Americans have a baseline eye exam with an ophthalmologist — an eye medical doctor or surgeon with the skill and experience to diagnose and treat the full range of eye diseases and disorders — no later than age 40. At that time, the ophthalmologist will determine how frequently a patient needs follow-up exams, based on the individual patient’s eye health needs. By age 65, the academy recommends eye exams every one to two years, or as directed by an ophthalmologist.

Have you ever stopped to think ...

By Martha O’Regan

And forgot to start again? When I saw this bumper sticker many years ago, I laughed out loud with a response of “yep, all day long.” How many times a day do you get distracted by all the “bright shiny objects” that continuously vie for our attention? Do you get to the end of a day with that to-do list still full? And, who doesn’t walk into a room and wonder “why did I come in here” and have to retrace your steps to remember? Or, is it just me?

The truth is, we live in a world of information and stuff overload and our brains are so jumbled with conflicting data from so many “experts” or too much stimulation from all of our technological gadgets, making it difficult to focus, even when we desire it. Unless we are living on a deserted island, we all have the propensity for one of the many “alphabet soup” syndromes labeling our inability to give undivided attention to a specific

4

task. Understanding how the brain works helps to create methods to teach ourselves ways to focus our attention on what is important for a healthy, joyful life, ultimately eliminating procrastination and self-sabotage.

Every morsel of information that we are exposed to through our five senses, goes into the brain and either begins building a new neural pathway or gets connected with one already formed. If we repeat or receive that info continuously, that pathway gets more grounded and familiar, contributing to our behaviors and patterns — good or bad. So, just by living in our current world, we are continuously bombarded with too many bits of unimportant, unfiltered, and nonsensical information that just gets jumbled in with the other bits of the same, never really taking hold, resulting in confusion or deficits in our attention.

If we could periodically “defrag” our brain like we do with our computer, we could

clean out or organize the bits of data that are just floating around in there. But, that hasn’t been discovered ... yet.

In the meantime, one tool we all have is self awareness. Becoming aware of each moment allows us to focus on just that moment, not the other gazillion moments on the horizon. Start by tuning into those times when you feel overwhelmed, scattered or unfocused and just note where or how you feel it in the body. Then,

allow yourself to stop for a moment, close your eyes if practical, take a deep breath and just be in gratitude for clarity and focus. Continue this process until you feel less scattered or a direction reveals itself to you. Quieting the mind allows that little voice in our head, often referred to as our inner wisdom or higher self, to be heard. I call it a “Divine Download” and am always grateful because I know I could never have come up with most of them on my own. This self awareness exercise can be repeated hundreds of times a day for as many days as is needed to create its own neural pathway, to become a part of who you are. Once you have mastered that layer, you are ready to tune into the next then the next and before you know it you will be enjoying your life more, accomplishing more things than you ever dreamed possible. As always, have fun with it because remember, life is only hard until it isn’t — you decide. Live Well ... Have Fun!

Come on, join Beaufort Memorial Hospital this fall and do the LoCo Motion.

The three-day, 30 mile walking and running event—set for Sept. 2830 on Callawassie and Hilton Head Islands—is the signature fundraiser of Carolina Cups, a Lowcountry nonprofit organization supporting breast cancer education, screening, treatment and clinical research.

For the second year, Beaufort Memorial will serve as the lead sponsor of the event, expected to draw more than 1,000 participants from across the country. In addition to being a sponsor, Beaufort Memorial’s Keyserling Cancer Center is one of the recipients of the proceeds.

“Part of our mission is to improve the health of the community,” said Connie Duke, Beaufort Memorial’s director of oncology services. “This event gets people exercising and raises awareness of the health benefits to being fit. It’s not just about fighting cancer; it’s about decreasing your chances of developing heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.”

Trekking 10 miles a day, three straight days requires some advance training. To help participants build up their endurance, event organizers have put together a 17-week training schedule you can download at

www.DotheLoCoMotion.org.

In addition, free group training sessions are being offered in Beaufort, Bluffton and Hilton Head Island to help participants prepare for the big fall show date. You don’t have to be registered as a LoCo Motion participant to take part in the training events.

“We want to make sure people have fun and are not crawling across the finish line on the last day,” said event organizer Laura Morgan. “Most people are not conditioned to walk long distances back to back to back.”

LoCo Motion was designed to appeal to a greater audience by allowing participants to walk or run and choose if they want to complete one, two or three days of the event.

“We want people to get out and get their bodies moving,” Morgan said.

“Walking with others can help you stay motivated to get fit and healthy.”

BMH will host the Beaufort training program beginning June 4. The free sessions are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Enjoy $20 worth of fare for $10

Tuesdays and 7 a.m. Saturdays at the hospital’s LifeFit Wellness Center. Call 522-5637 for more information.

“There’s strength in numbers,” said Hollie Smith, an exercise physiologist at BMH and of the LoCo Motion trainers.

“Walking or running with others makes your workout more fun. And you’re less likely to skip a session if you know there are people expecting you to show up.”

Clinical Nutrition Manager Roxanne Davis-Cote will offer tips on what to eat and drink during the training sessions and the three-day event.

“I recommend four to eight ounces of water per mile,” Davis-Cote said. “If you start to feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.”

A well-balanced diet that includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lowfat dairy and lean meats also is essential to condition your body for an intense workout.

To stay fueled, runners may want to pack energy gels that are easy to carry and eat on the go. For walkers, a piece of fruit or yogurt will help maintain stamina.

No one can control where or when a natural disaster might occur. But good emergency planning can help reduce a disaster’s impact on your family’s health and safety. Use the information below to help create a disaster preparedness plan for your family.

Stay Informed A key part of disaster preparedness is knowing where to find the best, most current information. For immediate needs, keep a battery-powered AM/ FM radio or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio receiver in your home.

When hazardous conditions occur, tune in for the latest information and instructions.

It’s also a good idea to learn more about emergency programs in your community. The Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) can direct you to national and state programs. Contact your local police or fire department to find out about programs in your immediate area.

For longer-term planning, the Federal Alliance of Safe Homes (FLASH) is a good place to start. There you can learn about the most likely disaster risks in your state, and ways to safeguard your home against them.

Make A Disaster Survival Kit During a disaster, your family should be prepared to survive for several days without access to food, water, and other essentials. Create a family disaster survival kit, and keep it in an easily accessible location in your home. Your kit should include the items below in amounts to last each family member for three days: • Drinking water in nonbreakable containers; • Nonperishable food and related

utensils, such as a can opener; • First-aid kit, including necessary prescription medications; • Portable radio and flashlight, including replacement batteries; • Tool kit; • Maps; • Cell phone with charger; • Extra clothing; • Blankets or sleeping bags; • Your insurance policy numbers; • Pet supplies, if necessary.

It’s also a good idea to create a complete inventory of your possessions and keep it in a bank safe deposit box or other safe place away from your home.

Create An Evacuation Plan Thinking ahead about how to evacuate your home and community safely can save valuable time during an emergency. For a home evacuation plan, determine the best escape routes from your dwelling and choose a meeting place nearby. Hold drills periodically and update the plan as family members’ needs and abilities change.

To prepare for a community evacuation, designate an out-of-town point of contact for family members to call if they become separated. Then, record emergency contacts and other important information on wallet cards from Ready.gov.

Community evacuations may be voluntary or involuntary, depending on the situation. When an evacuation order is given, leave immediately in accordance with official instructions.

To prepare for a voluntary evacuation, plan routes ahead of time, taking into consideration traffic patterns and possible hazards, such as impassable bridges. When conditions become threatening, collect all family members in a single location and fill up your vehicle’s gas tank. Remember to keep your emergency kit close by, including maps, in case you need to leave quickly.

real estate

If not you, who?

Will and Deena McCullough of Lowcountry Real Estate can be reached directly at 843-4418286 or via email at RealEstate@ BeaufortSC.net.

By Will McCullough

When considering putting your property on the market, I think it’s very important that you interview at least two or three potential listing agents.

In the Beaufort area, there are literally hundreds of licensed real estate agents and finding the right Realtor to represent you can make a huge difference in seeing your property sell in a timely manner and for as much as possible.

In complete honestly, it isn’t always a matter of just who’s “better,” it’s often more a matter of “who’s a better fit” for you and your specific needs. That being said, I wanted to share what I’ve always considered the best question I’ve ever personally been asked by a potential client during a listing interview. The question was simple: “If you couldn’t recommend yourself or even an agent from your company, who are a few other local agents you’d recommend to list our home?”

Please allow me to be completely up front, as a local agent myself, I’m obviously biased. However, truth be told, there are many incredibly good agents in the Beaufort area and I thought it would be a fun topic to publicly answer the above “who else?” question. Please know that while, yes, I personally hold the following agents in high regard, this is by no means a complete list. So,

The question was simple: ‘If you couldn’t recommend yourself or even an agent from your company, who are a few other local agents you’d recommend to list our home?’ without further delay, here are just a few of the many local agents, from multiple companies, who quickly come to mind when personally answering the above question.

Christi Trumps, Tideland Realty: I’ve interacted with Christi on multiple occasions over the years while working through various showings, offers and contracts. Her wealth of experience and genuine pleasant demeanor always appear to serve her clients well and, I can say from personal experience, allow for very smooth communication when working as an agent opposite her in a

transaction.

Mike Ray, Coldwell Banker: Having represented clients opposite of Mike on several occasions, I can honestly say I really respect how he works. And “how he works” is hard. From what I’ve seen, when Mike is looking for an answer for his clients, he’ll dig until he finds it. He returns calls and emails quickly and doesn’t hesitate, at all, to initiate his own when the need arises.

Kim Carswell, Ballenger Realty: Kim is a true professional who appears to represent her listing clients exceptionally well. I am a personal fan of having a strong marketing message and quality promotional materials for listings and, as a competitive observer, have to say that I honestly respect the heck out of her work.

Bryan Gates, ERA: Bryan’s a very nice guy. The real thing too, not just an act. While I haven’t done a large amount of transactions personally with Bryan, I can’t help but think that his high degree of genuine care for people in general would have to pass on to his clients and I think that, coupled with his years of experience, likely make for an awesome agent.

Pat Harvey-Palmer, Hometown Realty: I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of professional interactions with Pat over the years and I can say, without question, that her volume of experience

puts most of us in the local industry to shame. Whatever your problem, she’s likely already “been there, done that” ... and “done that” well.

Gary Glasser, Lowcountry Real Estate: In the interest of fairness, I’ve done my best to highlight quality agents from other companies and abstain from listing any of my co-workers at Lowcountry Real Estate. Gary, however, rates an exception.

Reason? My impressions of Gary were formed when I myself was with another company. Gary’s straight-talking style, depth of knowledge and prior-USMC life experiences have always seemed to guide his clients well. I have no doubt that will continue to be the case for many years to come.

When it comes down to it, what matters most is finding a local agent, from a reputable company, whom you feel will both market your property aggressively and relate best to you personally. While Deena and I would welcome the opportunity to potentially serve you, we also can’t deny the fact that the above list represents only a few of the many excellent local agents available to choose from.

Bottom line, take your time and interview a few agents before you sign on the dotted line. An extra day or two spent making comparisons can end up, unquestionably, being time well invested!

Artist Showcase 2012 a success

By Lanier Laney

The Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce welcomed local and visiting exhibitors to the Artist Showcase 2012 last weekend at the Sea Island Best Western in downtown Beaufort. In its 10th year, the wonderful event is produced by the Black Chamber along with Liz and Charlie Mitchell of the Mitchell Group and showcased almost two dozen artists. Alyss Valerio and Hailey Grooms were the youngest exhibitors after their work was chosen from their class. Here are some artist pics:

modern jewelers 807 Bay Street, Beaufort, SC 29902. (843) 524-3526 watch repair and silver restoration.

They also have extensive giftware selections with lines like Waterford, Wedgewood, Beatrice Ball, Reed & Barton, and, of course, they have a bridal registry.

Both Rosemary and Kevin believe strongly in giving back to the community. Says Kevin, “Our community has made us successful over the years and we feel obligated to give back. There is probably not a charity or fundraiser that we have not supported. I have been fortunate to have sat on the boards of the Hospital Foundation, Historic Beaufort Foundation, TMAC, Boys & Girls Club, Mainstreet Beaufort, and Sertoma. I was also fortunate to spend many years with the Water

Festival, and was one of the earliest graduates of Leadership Beaufort.”

Rosemary adds, “We like that Beaufortonians are a caring and giving community. That is why Modern Jewelers stays committed to supporting so many charities and fundraisers.”

Kevin says that the philosophy of owning and running their own business is not original. He said, “Many know of it as the Rotarian Four Way Test — of the things we say, think or do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned?

Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

What the Cuppias love about living in Beaufort is waking up

to sunrises over Factory Creek or sharing a glass of wine together watching the sun set over the bridge from their back porch. They also like going to work with the expectations of helping a client find the perfect gift.

“One of the most enjoyable aspects of our business is that we help create some of the most exciting moments in people’s lives,” said Kevin. “Helping a young teenager purchase his first promise ring, or the nervous young man pick out the perfect engagement ring for his bride-to-be. It’s great to be a part of such memorable birthdays and anniversaries.”

No description of the Cuppias and Modern Jewelers would be complete without mentioning Woodrow. Woodrow is the store’s snaggle-toothed boxer mascot that you usually see napping in the middle of one of the Cuppias’ elegant window displays.

Woodrow came to work several years ago when Chase joined the team. And after all the university training the Cuppias got in merchandising and marketing, instructing them in ways to get customers to come in the store, Kevin says, “It’s been humbling to realize that all we needed to do was let a dog sleep on the floor.

It’s amazing, people come in to see if he’s real. They come to take pictures and they bring friends and family to visit Woodrow. We had a couple who stay at Fripp come in just to see if Woodrow would be in, then ended up purchasing a very nice diamond pendant. This was something they did not teach us in our merchandising class,” he said with a laugh. And by the way, Woodrow gets lots of treats.

The Cuppias want to thank all their great customers and friends in Beaufort who have been such loyal supporters over the years.

In return, I’m sure everyone would like to thank the Cuppias for giving so much back to the community.

“

R

osemary and Kevin Cuppia have owned and operated Modern Jewelers on Bay Street for more than 30 years.

Rosemary, a Beaufort native, met her husband Kevin — a transplant from New Jersey whose family moved to Hilton Head Island — when she was in the 10th grade at Beaufort Academy and he in the 11th. They both graduated from University of South Carolina with marketing management and merchandising degrees and in 1981 got married.

Modern Jewelers was orignally started by Lester and Virginia Hiers in 1947. Rosemary’s dad, Carson Rembert, took over as manager in the 1960’s, and later bought the business. Kevin and Rosemary worked together with her dad for a few years after college and then he offered them the opportunity to buy it. They jumped at the chance to stay in Beaufort and the idea of working together in their own business.

Today they have built the store into one of the best in the region, chosen as “Beaufort’s Favorite Jewelry Store” every year from The Island News, and “Best Jewelry Store” 10 years in a row from The Beaufort Gazette.

Rosemary says, “We have always tried to be a friendly family business, not stuffy or pretentious.

Our staff becomes like family. I’d like to thank all those who have worked for our business over the years. It is our helpful and sincere staff that has won us the accolades.”

Their staff also includes their son Chase, whom they were proud to welcome to the family business four years ago.

Modern Jewelers has become a full service jewelry store under the Cuppias. Along with carrying a large selection of fine gemstone and diamond jewelry, and sterling silver designer lines, they also do jewelry repairs, custom jewelry, and even create jewelry from your very own designs. They offer engraving,

One of the most enjoyable aspects of our business is that we help create some of the most exciting moments in people’s lives.

Sounds like parking is still a broiling issue Orange parking tickets unfriendly for guests

The city has listened and has tried hard and has made positive decisions on downtown parking. But come on, this weekend is the Gullah Festival, May 26 and 27. People come from all over the region to attend the festivities and bring lots of money, goodwill and fun to our town, as does all of the other festivals. It is a poor state of mind to see these people getting orange envelopes on their windshield, just an unfriendly way to greet our visitors on a special occasion. How do you visit this town for an all day and evening event and contend with a two-hour meter? Could not the main day, like usually a Saturday, be free parking? Hey let’s get creative and have weekend free parking. Yes, dollars are lost to the city on the meters but the increase in business to the downtown just might compensate for bigger retail sales and higher business license fees and other taxes. And our guests do not leave pissed.

Imagine the dismay at finding a parking ticket

Imagine my delight when my granddaughter, her husband, my Daughter and great-grandson from North Carolina came for his first visit to Beaufort. One of the first places I thought of was the Waterfront Park playground.

It is a great place for little ones. My sister from Memphis was also visiting with us.

Excited, we took off to enjoy a beautiful afternoon, all of which came to an abrupt end upon our return to their vehicle.

Imagine my embarrassment when she had a bright orange ticket on the windshield for parking. I was under the mistaken impression that parking is free on weekends. Add that to the fact no one saw a sign that gave you any indication that you needed to search for a faded number and then search for where to pay.

Of course I paid the ticket which stated on it that no comments were allowed.

Imagine the bad impression this gave to my out-of-town guests. Has Beaufort become so money hungry that the city fails to be hospitable? Would it not have been better to give a warning to a vehicle with an out-of-town plate?

Pity parking for tourists

Working in a retail store in the downtown area has brought to my observation a few issues that still need to be addressed by our city on an old and worn out subject — PARKING! Pity the poor tourist who has the somewhat misfortune of visiting our town by automobile and needs to utilize the parking meters.

1. What are the parameters on the parking meters?

Bob Sofaly Photography

• Why isn’t there more visible signage on each meter pole posted with information stating what coinage can be used, how many minutes you get for each amount plus the longest duration you can park at that particular meter? Right now this information is not located in an easily read location.

• Tourists do not know they don’t have to feed the meters after 6:00 p.m., which holidays are free and that Sundays are free.

This information should also be included on the visable signage.

2. Where do parking patrons go to get change for the meters and to register complaints about non-functioning meters?

• Could the address for the parking company office be posted as a place to secure change on this pole signage? Wouldn’t it be feasible for the parking office to be open on weekends plus during festivals and special events with a minimal crew?

• Couldn’t change machines be installed around town so change is not the burden of the retail stores and restaurants in the downtown area? One could maintain that if a person comes into a store to get change then that person will stay and shop. Seldom true plus it drains each store of needed change to conduct normal business. Many extra quarters are purchased at the bank for parking meter purpose but it never is enough when there is a large festival for a long holiday weekend and the banks are not open during this time and neither is the parking company office.

On another issue: We need signs posted as to where the public restrooms are located in the area. This is an old town with many old buildings with old plumbing. It should not be the responsibility especially of stores to provide public bathrooms and it should

not be the responsibility of store employees to clean up after the heavy volume of requests for a restroom. Restrooms become filthy and toilets clogged and overflowing to the point that our restrooms become unusable to our employees or need major cleaning before employees can utilize the facility. We discourage the use of our bathroom for these reasons plus employees resent having to clean up the mess. If signs were posted with public restroom locations it would diminish the number of requests placed on businesses.

I’ve seen signage like this in other towns and it certainly would also help the tourists.

Finding fault with fee

Hey, city council members, if you are considering making me pay a “fee” of $35 per vehicle, at least have the cajonnes to call it a tax. We already pay a tax when we purchase our vehicles and then we pay a yearly personal property tax for the privilege of owning a vehicle. I know state law allows municipalities to charge “fees” for certain things. I guess I always thought of a fee as an elective thing that I could choose whether I wanted that service or not. If our governmental agencies would leave more of our money in our pockets perhaps we could jump-start this economy.

Thank you for 100 percent college acceptance Beaufort Academy would like to thank Mr. Sheldon Clark for 10 years at Beaufort Academy.

During Mr. Clark’s time as BA’s College Advisor, 100 percent of graduates of the classes of 2003 – 2012 were accepted directly into four-year colleges and universities all over the country.

These 224 BA grads not only went on to attend college in 16 different states, most of which went to their first choice, but were also offered more than $12.5 million in scholarships.

Way to go Ms. Douglas Ms. Smith, principal of Robert Smalls Middle, honored Ms. Sarah Douglas at a luncheon held in her honor for volunteering every day in the media center during the 2011–2012 school year.

Super shadows A celebration was held on Friday, May 25, at Robert Smalls Middle for students who shadowed the media specialist, Rhonda Doherty, for one period every other day during the 2011– 2012 school year. Denise Smith, the principal, presented each student with an autographed copy of The Tiger Princes written by teen author Sarah Renee who resides in Mt. Pleasant. Eleven students participated in the program this year.

This year’s theme was “Inspiration” as the young Broad River artist were inspired by the paintings, sketches, mosaics and sculptures of famous artist like Van Gogh, Monet and Picasso. More than 300 pieces of artwork were on display. In addition to the school exhibit, 30 students had their work selected to be on display during the Gullah Festival.

Riverview Charter School‘s Portfolio Night. A portfolio is a collection of student work that displays knowledge, creativity, concepts, interests and achievement over time. On Portfolio Night, students will present their learning to their families! Organizing and maintaining the multi-media portfolio is a yearlong process and a collaborative effort between the student, classroom teacher and specialists.

Murder mystery at school There’s an outline of a dead body on a patio of a luxurious beach house. Somewhere around it are a couple fingerprints, fragments of thread and strands of hair. Four people have a motive to kill the extremely rich victim and it was up to Broad River Elementary students to solve the murder case of “Who Killed Felix?” under the direction of Master Teacher Jason Osborne.

The students had just five days to find the clues, analyze them at 14 laboratory stations and draw their conclusions. A team from an educational institution in California created the learning game with the assistance of real forensic specialists as part of an education program to stimulate children’s interest in science.

Pat Girard earns Shutterbug books Imagine Literacy Coach Pat Girard was surprised during her literacy meeting by special visitors. Laura Eggers, accompanied by Mrs. Constance Goodwine-Lewis, came in bearing balloons a certificate and more importantly a check for a grant from the Northern Beaufort County Public Education Foundation. Mrs. Girard’s grant money will be used to purchase Shutterbug Books, which are informational text for emergent and early readers. “So often teachers want to use nonfiction books with the younger students but can’t find appropriate books for them to read and understand. These books have the features we want our children to work with and understand.” These books will be a wonderful addition to the literacy program at Broad River Elementary School.

In Chinese and Japanese costume the children told the story of a plain bird whose song captured the hearts of the Chinese Emperor and his imperial court until a bejeweled mechanical bird arrived from the Japanese Ambassador. This Hans Christian Andersen story is one of many that have entered the hearts of children throughout the years. Of all his 156 stories and tales, children are most familiar with “Thumbelina”, “The Ugly Duckling”, “The Litter Mermaid” and “The Princess and the Pea.” Broadway for Lady’s Island Elementary D’Arts Alive! and Annual Desert Theatre was performed at Lady’s Island Elementary School May 29. This year’s theme was Broadway Hits, featuring performances by Lady’s Island students. The Show Choir performed songs from the Broadway hit musical Wicked.

After the interviews were completed, the team developed a consensus on the best match for Beaufort High’s priorities and needs. Once that person was determined, the candidate’s personal references were checked by teachers, parents and students.

Teachers interviewed teachers at the candidate’s current school, parents interviewed parent leaders and students interviewed students. Then, based on the interview team’s selection, Superintendent Truesdale made her recommendation to the Board of Education.

Can cancer care have an extra measure of excellence?

Just days after moving to Hilton Head Island, Laura Braun received devastating news: she had breast cancer. Laura weighed a dizzying array of options, then confidently chose the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center. She was impressed by her experienced team of specialists, their close coordination with her Beaufort Memorial breast surgeon, and the center’s Duke affiliation.

Because of that affiliation, she didn’t have to go far for the latest and best care.

Chapter President Anita Henson invited Donna Waller, President of the Hilton Head Island Colonial Dames XVII Century Chapter, and their members to join them for a historical portrayal by Hilton Head Island Heritage Library volunteer Peggy Pickett of South Carolina heroin Eliza Lucas Pinckney. At age 16, Eliza Lucas took over the management of her father’s Wappoo Plantation near Charleston in 1739 and became most instrumental in the development of Indigo as a major cash crop for South Carolina. Later she would marry Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and their sons would play important roles in the colonies success in breaking away from English rule during the American Revolution. Following the historical impersonation, Ms. Pickett was presented a gift for her portrayal by Beaufort Chapter Vice President, Priscilla Perkins.

history with holly: it takes a village

By Harry John Chakides, Jr.

Growing up in Beaufort was a joy for any young boy and girl. We had no boundaries; our backyard was the Beaufort River and the river shore. On the bluff, we had a long rope that hung from one of the trees over the water. On our way down Bay Street to go to the Saturday matinee at the Breeze Movie Theater, we would catch the rope and take a few turns swinging out over the water. No one knew whose rope it was; it was just there.

The way you learned to swim was your older siblings would take you down to the river, get in someone’s bateau, drift around in the marsh, and then throw you in the river! You would have to swim back to the boat! There were no swimming pools in those days.

Everyone was allowed to be a “Huck Fin” and wander around. We knew all of the shopkeepers and they would look out for us. We had a town whistle that

Beaufort Then & Now

This moment in Beaufort’s history is an excerpt from the book “Beaufort ... Then and Now,” an anthology of memories compiled by Holly Kearns Lambert.

Copies of this book may be purchased at Beaufort Book Store. For information or to contribute your memory, contact Holly at lowcountrymemories@hotmail.com or beaufortmemories@gmail.com.

blew at 12 noon, and everyone knew it was time for lunch; your mother would have a hot meal on the table.

During World War II, Beaufort was very patriotic. In the homes that had men and women in the service, there were flags in the windows that had a star on them to represent each family member in the service. Memorial Day was very important in Beaufort back then. We would have a big parade that would go down Bay Street and then down Bladen Street to the National Cemetery. Speeches were made and flags

were placed on each grave plot. People would come from all over; we even had people from New York who would come on the boat from Savannah. By the National Cemetery, food booths were set up to sell food to all of the people.

We had a carnival where the tennis courts are today. Big party! But not for little boys. My friend and I, who were 5 or 6 years old, asked our parents if we could walk to the next block to watch the parade. And there it was! The leader of the parade was always an old man who would ride his bicycle with flags all over the handlebars, and he would be dressed in his World War I uniform with his leggings and his campaign hat that looked just like the one Yogi Bear wore. He was a “dough boy,” straight out of a magazine. My friend and I followed the parade, first down one block, then two, then three blocks, trying to keep in step with the band. Finally we made it to the carnival. Lots of fun! When I saw my

brother riding his bicycle with a friend, we ran over to tell them what good time we were having. They told us to get on the bike, and then they took us home because all of Beaufort was looking for us! It was the biggest spanking we ever got!

Telephones in those older days were quite unique; no cell phones, no text messaging, no “music buttons”. Come to think of it, no buttons at all. When I wanted to talk to my father at his business, I would pick up the telephone and tell the operator his number (150), and she would connect me. One time I hurt myself and I picked up the phone and told the operator I wanted to speak to my daddy; she told me to wait a minute because he was busy. I didn’t give her a number or a name; she just knew who I was.

Yes, the old saying, “It takes a village to raise a child” is true. And Beaufort was quite that village.

arts/community the indie film corner “We have a Pope” from The World Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, June 4 and Friday, June 8, both at 6:30 p.m.

Synopsis: A cardinal suddenly finds himself elected as the next Pope.

He is completely caught off guard, and panics and wants to refuse the office. To prevent a worldwide crisis, the Vatican’s spokesman calls in an unlikely psychiatrist to find out what is wrong. What follows is a marvelous insight into a human whose job is to exist as God’s representative on Earth.

Ratings & Reviews: This Italian comedy is fun for both audiences and critics. Internet ratings are IMDb: 6.9 and Rotten Tomatoes: critics’ 60/ audience rating 58. Pleasant ratings. Critics: Roger Ebert: “... great entertainment”; New York Times: ‘’...emotionally generous and moving tragicomedy.”

Previewer Comments: This comedy in Italian pushes against our concept of the Catholic Church and how it works. After all, if the Cardinals’ vote and selection is based on God inspired reflection, how could anyone refuse to become Pope? Worse yet, how to make this problem go away? Obviously the stakes are high, the concept of someone actually refusing to be pope lends itself to comedy ... and a delightful comedy we get. But, do not be fooled, underneath the comedy, the real nuance here is the issue of a man’s very real doubts and the inadequacies to serve God as chosen by others.

Rated: Unrated, but can be considered to be PG.

“In Darkness” from The World Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Wednesday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in a Nazi occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape liquidation. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something unexpected: the unlikely moral alliance between Socha and the Jews. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death.

Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 7.0; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 90. Audience: 84. Very high marks. Critics: Austin Chronicle: “... like nothing you’ve ever seen before”; Newsday: “An epic”; New York Times: “It is suspenseful, horrifying and ... intensely moving.”

Previewer Comments: This World drama in Polish with English subtitles was one of four films nominated for the 2012 Oscar’s Best Foreign film. Yes, it is a Holocaust film, but one that brings to the forefront the smaller acts of defiance by non Jews in German occupied countries during World War II. In it, the main character slowly moves towards redemption as he internalizes the moral wrongness of their condition and his actions. This film should remind us that, somewhere, sometime others will be persecuted in our future, but perhaps if we learn from this film, we will not join in, not ignore, but take a stand for what is right because it is right.

Rated: R for violence, disturbing images, sexuality, nudity and language.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance.

Box office opens one hour before show time.

Beaufort beauty vying for Miss South Carolina

By Tess Malijenovsky

Twenty-year old Samee Cannon of Beaufort won Miss Colleton County Rice Festival and is now in the running to become 2012 Miss South Carolina, a branch of the Miss America Pageant.

Aside from holding the title of “prettiest eyes and smile” in the Miss Colleton County Rice Festival, Samee has an important platform that she will be talking about with the judges — organ donor awareness.

When Samee was only 11 she learned that her older brother, Sean, was diagnosed with PSC, a liver disease that’s definitive treatment is liver transplantation. When Samee graduated from Beaufort High School, she postponed going to college to move in with her brother and help pay the bills since he had to take a year off work.

“I think that’s when the seriousness of the matter hit me,” said Samee.

Sean’s been on the donor list for nine years now still waiting his turn. “There’s not nearly enough organ donors in the world,” said Samee. She and her family promoted organ donor awareness locally last September with Save Our Superman.

Samee was inspired to see her Beaufort community respond to the campaign: “I figured if we could do that much with just our community in a couple months, that me doing organ donor awareness for the

Miss South Carolina Pageant could make a huge impact.”

According to Samee, the symbol on someone’s driver’s license simply isn’ t enough.

She Samee encourages people to Cannon sit down with their families and discuss becoming organ donors. Anyone can register to become an organ donor on donatelifesc.org, a site where medics can quickly look up an individual’s organ donor status in a fatal situation.

Many people hold the belief that a physician or EMT will not do everything possible to save one’s life in an emergency situation if one is registered as an organ donor. The fact is that by law medical personnel must follow strict medical and legal guidelines before declaring death.

Donation can only occur after there is an official declaration of death based on the laws of one’s jurisdiction. Upon death, one’s organs can save the life of someone else, like Samee’s brother.

Beaufort is excited for Samee and wishes her the best at the pageant June 7-14 as she models her bathing suit and evening wear, sings Laura Bell Bundy’s “Giddy On Up,” and discusses her platform on organ donor awareness.

the home chef ... on avocados

By Harlene Deane

As a California native with a hass avocado tree in my backyard, it didn’t take long to learn when to pick and how to ripen and use these wonderful green, creamy gems.

Now that they have dropped in price here in the Lowcountry, try these recipes.

chilled avocado soup

• 3 ripe avocados, cut into chunks** • 3 cups chicken broth • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 teaspoon salt •1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Combine ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Pour into serving bowls. Top with the Mangoand-Crab Garnish or just a dollop of sour cream and cilantro leaves. Serves 6.

mango-and-crab garnish • 1/2 pound lump crab • 1/4 chopped white or vidalia onion • 1/2 cup diced mango* • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar • 1 tablespoon light olive oil • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Combine ingredients in a bowl; cover and chill. Makes 2 cups. **Cut around the pit and twist halves until apart. Remove pit and with a soup spoon scoop out the flesh.

lunch bunch

From seafood to steak, there’s something for everyone at

THE ORIGINAL STEAMER

By Tess Malijenovsky

The Original Steamer Oyster & Steakhouse on Lady’s Island has a little bit of deliciousness for everyone — from gourmet salads to unique oyster half shell dishes and fresh local shrimp baskets. And if you enjoy steak, you’re in for a treat because Steamer now serves Certified Angus Beef.

Lisa really spoiled the Lunch Bunch, showing off the wide variety of dishes Steamer has on its menu.

To begin with, we enjoyed a bowl of the hearty gumbo soup and thick seafood bisque along with two large salads. I personally might have shied away from a spinach salad with fried oysters and hot bacon dressing, but I’m telling you the truth when I say it was delicious and I will order it again.

We also enjoyed a salad with a large shrimp salad scoop served with Steamer homemade dressing. And April, who is usually not a fan of blue cheese, loved their homemade blue cheese dressing.

Already we were breaking some boundaries at Steamer.

Next up we had oyster half shells loaded with cheese and bacon bits called Oysters Eleanor, a novelty dish.

We also enjoyed some of Craig Reeves’

Spinach salad with fried oysters.

Oysters Eleanor: oyster half shells loaded with cheese and bacon bits.

local shrimp with a dash of Old Bay and butter — can’t beat it — as well as two large crab cakes. I could taste the difference in the lump crabmeat and it was maybe my favorite dish. Maybe, only because the 10 oz. Certified Angus sirloin with steamed vegetables and sweet potato fries really hit the spot. We tried the sirloin and bistro steak, full of flavor, juicy, and cooked precisely as we had ordered. Lisa also brought us a pasta primavera with tomatoes, onions,

Parmesan and shrimp garnished with two pieces of garlic bread. So you see, a little bit of everything for everyone!

Last but not least, Steamer has a variety of desserts to complete your palette. We tried the Key Lime pie, raspberry cheesecake and Mississippi Mud cake.

It was a wonderful meal in a comfortable environment with sea life — aquariums and artwork — all around us.

The restaurant also features specials

Certified Angus sirloin with steamed brocolli and sweet potato fries.

all week: Monday fried shrimp basket, $9.95; Tuesday, loaded shrimp burger, $6.95; Wednesday is Rachel’s famous chicken salad; Thursday features local shrimp by the pound; Friday is karaoke night; and Saturday brings live music.

The Original Steamer Oyster & Steakhouse is located at 168 Sea Island Parkway, Lady’s Island, Beaufort. For more information, call 843-522-0210.

Bill’s Q LI

All Liquor Stores Are NOT Created Equal.

R

Well, I guess since we’ve gotten through Memorial Day weekend we are now officially into summer. Even if the calendar doesn’t say so yet. Let’s face it, tropical storms before June 1? Calendars must be like weather men. Close sometimes. Anyhow, we’re going to look at a nice, easy drinking wine this week. Red. Nice for warm weather. Not too heavy, not too light, but really good.

So off we go to Washington state. Washington is second in the United States for wine production. The early history of wine from this state is traced back to the Cinsault grape, a red variety from the Rhone area of France, and Italian immigrants who brought it to the Walla Walla Valley. The first wineries Washington were founded in the 1950’s and 1960’s. From those beginnings the state’s industry has grown continuously, in size and reputation. I know way back when, one time, we went over the whole history of Washington wines.

Traders who worked for the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Vancouver in 1825 planted some vines, although not “vinifera” ones. In the 1950’s, a group of professors from the University of Washington turned their home wine making operation into a commercial business that later became Columbia Winery. The 1990’s and 1980’s brought many more wineries with good wines. And, a big thing, the 1991 episode of “60 Minutes” reported on the benefits of red wine and the Washington Wine Commission jumped in on the Merlot craze in the country. (Washington Merlots have always been considered some of the best.)

Due to soil and climate limitations, the majority of the vineyards in Washington are in the central and eastern parts of the state. Our wine this week is from an AVA located within the southeastern part of the Columbia Valley AVA. In particular, the Horse Heaven Hills AVA which borders on the Yakima River Valley AVA on the north and the Columbia River on the south. Elevations here range from 200 feet to 1,800 feet at the northern boundary of the AVA. Grapes are planted on the south-facing slopes of the Horse Heaven Hills which gives them several benefits as they ripen — warm afternoon sun and cooling breezes that help avoid rot and vine diseases. The HHH AVA is the

Columbia Crest Winery has one of the best success stories in the wine business. Its vineyards were first planted in 1978 with the major Bordeaux varieties.

It opened to the public in 1983, and since then its premium wines have continuously received great reviews. As its grapevines matured, it become clear that some of their micro-climates made spectacular wines. HHH wines were clearly different than others from the Columbia Valley — high quality with distinct flavors. It was the combination of geography, geology and viniculture that led to the declaration of Horse Heaven Hills as an AVA. (In 2005, it was Washington’s seventh AVA.) Today, Columbia Crest has 2,500 acres of vines planted. Devotees of their wines rave about their wines’ flavors and the consistency, year after year, of their high quality.

So, HHH has been the home to Columbia Crest for several decades. But, let’s call it H3 like they do.

Strong wind patterns, which are unique to Horse Heaven Hills, keep the size of the leaf canopy over the grapes smaller and less dense than usual. This allows for better sun exposure of the grapes and helps the clusters to ripen evenly. This alone is a huge benefit when they become wine. The soil in the vineyards is made up of basalt and bedrock that also helps intensify the grapes’ flavors. Being American and merchandisers, Columbia Crest has named one group of their wines “H3.” And, yes, the AVA name is the wine name. H3 makes several wines. (Not that it’s our wine this week, but the H3 Pinot Gris is lovely.) For today, though, 750 ML

we are interested in only one. Ugh! The Les Chevaux Red Blend, 2009. (Don’t know why I included the vintage. It doesn’t matter since the wines are so good and consistent year after year.)

But, knowing the vintage is the only way to mention how perfect the growing season was that year — dry, warm and lots of sun. A cool spring meant the blooms came a bit late, but warm temperatures came back quickly and stayed through ripening and harvest. An early freeze on October 10, could have caused problems but most of the grapes were already harvested, mature.

The vintage produced wines with good acidity and fruit-forward flavors. Grapes were crushed and fermentation lasted six to ten days. Skins remained in contact with the juice during fermentation to optimize the fruit flavors and enhance the structure of the wine.

Malolactic fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. The blending was done shortly after the malolactic fermentation was done. Finally, the wine was aged in American and French oak barrels, one third of them new, for 18 months.

The blend of Les Chevaux 2009 has more grapes in it than many other years. Thirty-four percent Merlot, 34 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 percent Syrah, 10 percent Malbec and 3 percent Cabernet Franc all come together. Maybe a lot of grapes, but remember that’s part of how the wine stays so good every year. The wine makers who can do this blending well have a real talent!

Besides blending grapes, three different strains of yeast are used for fermenting Les Chevaux. Each of them adds its own peculiar characteristics to the wine. According to the wine maker, Juan Munoz Oca, this wine has aromas of fresh blueberries, anise and earth. It is firm with supple tannins in your mouth. There is great depth with layered flavors of candied nuts, licorice and dark chocolate. The finish is mocha with a hint of sweetness. Go Mr. Wine Maker! This is a really good wine!

But where did the name come from? Les Chevaux?

Well, it means “the horses” in French. Apparently, the land where Columbia Crest Winery is located once had lots of wild horses roaming all over it. So, watch out! Catch the horses and drink before they run you over. Les Chevaux is cheaper at $12.99 than the repair work. Enjoy.

Paging Dr. Redwine ...

By Terry Sweeney

Scientists have documented the making and consumption of red wine as far back as 5,400 B.C. I wonder if at some point a particularly dandified caveman, with a more evolved palate than the others, ever suggested, “This red wine would pair beautifully with a grilled brontosaurus with scalloped potatoes and a nice lightly dressed green salad.”

OK, maybe that’s a little too evolved.

Or maybe he was the first gay caveman. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But what I do know is that since that time, civilization after civilization has used red wine not only for dining and recreation purposes but for medical reasons.

The famous Greek physician, Hippocrates, recommended wine as part of a healthy diet and advocated its use as a disinfectant for wounds and as a cure for various ailments from lethargy to pain during childbirth. (Many mothers today use it to treat the pain of child rearing!)

Much later in the Middle Ages, Catholic monasteries used wine for scores of medical treatments. So tied

I have found that Dr. Redwine is an excellent chiropractor and after a stressful day, two glasses allow me to crack my neck and move achy and stiff limbs ... Who says doctors don’t make house calls anymore? was the role of wine to medicine, that the Terry first printed book Sweeney on the subject of wine was written by a 14th century physician, Arnaldus de Villa Nova, who used wine to treat dementia and sinus problems and combat a host of other nuisances like Mrs. Villa Nova who constantly complained, “When the hell is that damn book gonna be finished?”

(True story!)

Fast forward to 1991 when an episode of “60 Minutes” took on the question of why the French — who smoke more than we do, eat more meat, and exercise less — have fewer heart attacks? Medical researchers came back with a surprising answer: Because they drink red wine.

“The French Paradox” started America switching to red wine for its obvious health benefits, a trend that continues to this day.

One of the most important medical areas that Dr. Redwine might be called upon is for a little ol’ thing called longevity. It was once said by some clever pundit who, when told “if he didn’t drink or have sex, he’d live longer,” replied, “No, it’ll just seem longer.”

But actually, a compound in red wine called resveratrol has been shown to definitely increase lifespan in animal studies. It is really the resveratrol that is the miracle antioxidant in red wine that in studies has been shown to protect against Alzheimer’s disease and dementia; and that reduces the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease. Wellmeaning friends have told me that I can now buy resveratrol by itself in capsule form. (Well, I guess that’d work for me, if I can wash ‘em down with a couple of glasses of red wine!)

The good news for men is that other studies have shown four or more glasses

of red wine per week reduced a man’s overall risk of prostate cancer by 50% and the risk of the most aggressive form of prostate cancer by 60%. And more good news is that researchers in Spain have found that people who drank more than two glasses of red wine per day have 44 % fewer colds than people who abstain. That’s nothing to sneeze at!

Realistically, of course, this data calls for drinking in moderation — not till you fall down face first on your nice Persian rug or wake up in the middle of your back yard naked. So drink wisely (not like the rest of us down here).

I personally have found that Dr. Redwine is an excellent chiropractor and after a stressful day, two glasses allow me to crack my neck and move achy and stiff limbs. I often say out loud, “Thanks, Dr. Redwine!” Who says doctors don’t make house calls anymore?

Cheers!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

Where did this healthy dog stuff start?

With the seemingly sudden appearance on the national scene of all things “natural” for dogs, one might think that holistic pet care and feeding a dog “real” food was something developed in an advertising agency, or at best, by a handful of revolutionary veterinarians. Not so.

Today’s holistic pet care movement began over 70 years ago when Juliette de Bairacli Levy defined “natural rearing.” Ms. Levy was born in 1912, in Manchester, England. She was raised in a wealthy household and was educated at Lowther College, one of the best girls schools in Britain. She went on to study veterinary medicine at the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool. However, in her final year of study, she decided that conventional medicine had none of the answers she sought and so embarked on a lifetime of travel and study with nomadic peoples, in England, and then around the world.

In the late 1930’s. 20 years before a vaccine was readily available, Levy ran a distemper clinic in London at a time when many dogs were dying from this disease. She treated and cured hundreds of dogs with fasting, herbs and a natural diet. An inexhaustible writer, she published the first of her books about that experience, “The Cure of Canine Distemper,” describing the protocols she developed in the clinic. “Puppy Rearing by

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

Natural Methods and Medicinal Herbs: Their Use in Canine Ailments” were reprinted for a wider audience in 1947. In 1955 she combined these works into “The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat,” the book that brought natural rearing philosophy to breeders, trainers and dog owners of the world.

Five Rules of Natural Rearing Levy’s basic rules of natural rearing for dogs require: 1. A correct natural diet of raw foods; 2. Abundant sunlight and fresh air; 3. At least two hours of exercise daily; 4. Hygienic kenneling, with the use of earth, grass, or gravel runs (never concrete); 5. Herbs, fasting, and other natural methods instead of vaccinations and conventional symptom-suppressing drugs.

Holistic practitioners recommend feeding a home-prepared diet of raw food, including meat and bones, often

using the diet of wild wolves as a model.

Her proponents feed a variety of foods including raw meat, dairy, eggs, minced herbs, and smaller quantities of fruit, vegetables, powdered seaweed, and grains such as oats, soaked overnight in raw goat milk or yogurt. Levy credits kelp and seaweed with giving dark pigment to eyes, noses, and nails, stimulating hair growth and developing strong bones.

In addition to providing ample pure water at all times, she also recommends one meatless day and one fasting day (no food, just water) per week for adult dogs. Where bones are concerned, she recommends feeding them after the main meal so that the bone is cushioned by food and other fiber to help sweep bone fragments from the system. Her dietary recommendations are accompanied by traditional herb formulae for the life cycle of a dog: birthing, weaning,

health maintenance, and disinfecting herbs that protect from viruses, bacteria and parasites.

Her early theory that healthy dogs need as much time outdoors as possible in full-spectrum daylight has been proven in countless studies of daylight and the endocrine system. Her early theory of healthy dogs requiring daily outdoor exercise has proven to do more than burn calories. It stimulates the lymphatic system, strengthens bones, improves immunity and keeps dogs smiling.

Cell biologist, James Oschman, PhD, in his book “Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis of Bioenergy Therapies,” links modern health problems to our insulation from the natural supply of free electrons that reside on the surface of the earth. Juliette Levy suspected as much knowing that animals will always choose contact with the earth. It improves sleep, reduces inflammation that causes pain, balances hormones, enhances circulation and neurological function.

Levy’s theories encourage us to think for ourselves and not blindly follow established methods just because we are told. Though she witnessed almost an entire century of technological breakthroughs, she advocated natural methods. Juliette de Bairacli Levy died May 28, 2009, at the age of 96.
