Sanford wins 1st Congressional seat Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was chosen by voters to fill the U.S. House of Representatives, District 1, seat in the special general election held Tuesday, May 7.

Unofficial results, with all five counties reporting, show the Republican Sanford at 54 percent

over his opponent Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch.

In Beaufort County, Sanford collected about 53 percent, with Colbert Busch at nearly 47 percent.

With all 80 precincts reporting, voter turnout was deemed high by election officials at 33 percent.

Sanford beat out 15 other

candidates in the primary to represent the Republican Party in his first return to politics since he resigned as governor in 2009. He previously served as the First Congressional District representative from 1995-2001.

Sanford grew up in Beaufort and his family still lives in the area.

Illegal dumping cause for concern Trash is piling up at Beaufort County convenience centers and it’s happening at a quicker rate due to non-Beaufort County residents using the centers.

“We are currently reviewing options to ensure Beaufort County residents are the only ones using the centers because they are the ones paying for the service. If more of these non-county residents continue to use the centers, it’s going to raise taxes for the Beaufort County residents,” said Beaufort County Administrator Gary Kubic.

It currently costs the county $65,000 a month to transport trash and an

additional $42 per ton to dispose of the waste at the Hickory Hill landfill in Jasper County. “We as a county will always have to pay another entity to dispose of our waste because Beaufort County does not have its own landfill, and you can bet it’s going to cost more tomorrow than it does today,” Solid Waste and Recycling Director Jim Minor said.

To help alleviate this problem, Kubic has assigned county staff to review a proposal of using a windshield decal, for a nominal fee, identifying all Beaufort county business owners and residents.

This decal will be necessary for a person

to enter and use any convenient center in Beaufort County.

Beaufort County provides 11 convenience centers located throughout the county where Beaufort County residents can drop off their household solid waste and yard waste. Residential construction and demolition debris is accepted in small amounts at three centers (Shanklin, St. Helena, Bluffton).

Seven of the convenience centers accept recycling materials. For more information about Beaufort County’s Solid Waste and Recycling, go to http:// www.bcgov.net/recycle.

Sheriff ’s Office investigating robbery

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a robbery and assault that occurred last Friday evening on a St. Helena roadway.

Just after 6 p.m. Friday, May 3, Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the area of the Penn Center on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Dr in reference several anonymous reports of a possible fight in progress. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with a 52-year old male who advised he’d been robbed.

The victim reported that he was walking down the road when a vehicle occupied by four black males pulled up beside him. The subjects asked the victim to buy cigarettes for them.

When the victim refused, the subjects got out and assaulted the victim, reportedly hitting him with sticks until he blacked out. The subjects took an undisclosed amount of cash from the victim and fled the scene.

The victim, who was grossly intoxicated at the time of the attack, suffered minor injuries for which he refused any medical attention. He was unable to provide any description of the suspects. The Sheriff ’s Office asks that anyone with information contact either Investigator SSgt. J. Fraser at 843-255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

Beaufort celebrates being named ‘America’s Happiest Seaside Town’ by Coastal Living

By Pamela Brownstein

Only hours after NBC’s Today Show aired the results of Coastal Living Magazine’s “Happiest Seaside Town,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling and Robb Wells of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce met at The Arsenal to discuss how to make the most of Beaufort’s national exposure.

“I am today the happiest mayor in the happiest city on the seaside,” declared Mayor Keyserling. He said the community should be proud of voting online to make Beaufort number one, but it’s the strong foundation and depth of history that make this area attractive and put Beaufort in the initial running among the other 10 seaside towns.

“This is all built on our 300-year history,” said Keyserling.

Robb Wells, tourism division executive for the Chamber of Commerce, added that Beaufort’s reputation as a healthy locale and a top retirement spot also helped the town gain recognition.

Wells said the goal of the chamber is to leverage this national attention to attract more visitors and to tie it in with upcoming National Tourism Week.

He plans to apply awards and recognitions to a comprehensive marketing strategy that can be measured to reveal the ways tourism positively impacts Beaufort.

The mayor said awards lay a good background for the cumulative effect of packaging Beaufort and to tie it in with economic development.

Beaufort will be featured in the June issue of Coastal Living Magazine. The

article reads: “Lowcountry friendliness and urban refinement strike just the right balance in this beautiful South Carolina town known for its historic antebellum architecture, exquisite local cuisine, and rich African-American heritage.” The other towns include Harwich Port, Mass.; Kennebunkport, Maine; La Jolla, Calif.; Newport, RI; Paia Town, Maui, Hawaii; Pescadero, Calif.; Rowayton, Conn.; Sag Harbor, NY; and Sanibel Island, Fla. The magazine will be on the stands later this week.

On Thursday, May 9, the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a celebratory party in the courtyard of The Arsenal, 713 Craven Street, from 3 to 5 p.m. The event will include food and drink for Robb Wells is the tourism division attendees, as well as giveaways, and is executive for the Beaufort Regional free and open to the public.

Beaufort firefighter earns MBA from The Citadel For Beaufort firefighter Capt. Reece Bertholf, “lifelong learning” is more than just a catchy phrase.

A fulltime firefighter, Bertholf this month earned his Master’s degree in Business Administration from The Citadel’s Graduate College.

Last Saturday’s graduation culminated six years of hard work for Bertholf and his family.

“We are extremely proud of Capt. Bertholf, first because he is an outstanding person and an exceptional firefighter, but also because he set a goal to earn his MBA. Once he set the goal, he started marching toward it and this month, he reached that goal,” said Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron.

“The more education we bring to the firefighting brotherhood, the safer we all will be. I commend Capt.

Bertholf and his family for the sacrifices and long hours they put in for him to achieve this, and I encourage other firefighters to continue their education,” Negron said.

Bertholf holds an Associate’s Degree in Business and an Associate’s Degree in Fire Service Administration from the Technical College of the Lowcountry; a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina Beaufort, and now has his MBA. His academic accomplishments include 2008

Capt. Reece Bertholf is seen accepting his Master’s degree in Business Administration from The Citadel’s Graduate College earlier this month.

Business Division Honor Graduate TCL, Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, Class of 2008 TCL Student Commencement Speaker, Deans List 2009 USCB and MBA Citadel’s Graduate College with a 4.0 GPA. He is now also a member of the International Honor Society Beta Gamma Sigma.

Bertholf was born in Bemidji, Minnesota, and grew up and graduated high school in Ogilvie, Minnesota.

Upon graduation from high school in 1997, Captain Bertholf enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, attending Recruit Training at MCRD San Diego and completed Combat Engineer schooling at Court House Bay, Camp Lejeune, NC, by the spring of 1998. Captain Bertholf ’s service in the Marine Corps included time with Combat Assault Battalion in Okinawa, Japan, and with MWSS 273 in Beaufort.

Bertholf was also a member of the 1999 Marine Corps Summer Pistol Team.

While still in the Marine Corps, Bertholf began volunteering with the City of Beaufort Fire Department in May 2000 until his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps in August 2001. That month he started his firefighting career with the City of Beaufort Fire Department and was assigned to Shift 1.

Captain Bertholf ’s awards and recognitions include Academic Honor Graduate from USMC Combat Engineer School, Volunteer Firefighter of the Year for 2000, 2008 Business Division Honor Graduate TCL, Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, Class of 2008 TCL Student Commencement Speaker, and Deans List 2009 USCB. Capt. Bertholf is married with two children.

Local YMCA selected for pilot summer learning program This summer, the YMCA of Beaufort County will offer a learning loss prevention program for children entering first and second grade who are most at risk of falling behind in their reading skills over the summer. The program is one of three pilot programs being tested by YMCA of the USA, the resource office for the nation’s Ys, as part of the nonprofit’s efforts to address gaps in academic achievement among the nation’s most disadvantaged youth. The Y will work with Whale Branch Elementary School to identify students who would benefit from the summer learning loss prevention pilot program.

The Y’s summer learning loss prevention pilot program will provide literacy instruction by certified teachers,

as well as enrichment through art, music and physical activity. Studies show that without access to summer learning activities such as camp, travel, and visits to libraries and museums, children from lowincome environments can experience more significant learning loss than their more economically stable peers. Over time, these children continue to lose ground and by the fifth grade, many are two to three school years behind their middle and high-income peers. The goal of the Y’s pilot program is to help children read at grade level by the third grade – a key educational milestone that is important to children’s ongoing knowledge retention and academic performance.

“At the YMCA of Beaufort County, we

know that the combination of extended learning and enrichment activities is essential to increasing children’s success in school, and we are dedicated to helping more kids achieve their potential,” said Kaylin Garst, operations director, YMCA of Beaufort County. “This program will help ensure children at Whale Branch Elementary School have the opportunity to stay on track over the summer and read at or above grade level when the new school year begins.”

The summer learning loss prevention pilot program is modeled after a literacy program from the YMCA of Greater Charlotte that is designed for children in first through second grade who are currently reading below grade level. Results

from the Charlotte YMCA model and the Y’s early pilot testing show average reading gains of two months by participants in the program.

As a leading non-profit focused on youth development, the Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen. The YMCA of Beaufort County is one of 43 Ys across the country offering the summer learning loss prevention pilot program this year, which complements the Y’s other educational programming, including our traditional camp programs that are located on site at the Wardle Family YMCA (1801 Richmond Ave.) serving over 200 children ages 3-15 years old. For more information, contact the YMCA at 843-522-9622 or visit www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com.

Boat Pose Navasana Boat Pose is an energetic posture and a fantastic way to strengthen and tone your core and legs! Begin in a seated position with your knees bent and your feet flat your mat. Firmly press your tailbone into your mat and lean back. From there, create a ‘V’ with your torso and legs keeping both active and straight. Reach your arms towards your feet or straight up to the ceiling and strongly flex your feet. To create stability in this pose activate your legs and hug them toward your centerline.

Keep your lower back straight, pull the pit of your belly in and up and press your breastbone up to the sky.

Modifications can make Boat Pose more accessible to beginners. Common modifications include: bending your knees, holding the back of your thighs, or lowering your hands to the mat, shoulder-width, a few inches behind the tailbone.

For more advanced yogis, Ardho Navasana, or Half Boat, is a great way to take Boat Pose further. From Navasana, straighten your legs and lower (both) your upper and lower body to a hover a few inches above the mat. Continue to press your tailbone down. Flex your feet and hug your outer shins in. Hug your belly to your spine and press your

upper arm bones back. Hold this pose for several breaths and then return to Navasana, using the strength of your core and legs to lift you up.

Side Plank Vasisthasana Side Plank is a heat-building pose that strengthens the entire body! Begin in a high push-up position. Bring your feet together and roll to the outside edge of your right foot. Lift your left hand to the ceiling. Stack your feet and your hips. Keep both feet flexed as you press your inner arches together.

Hug your legs together and bring the pit of your belly in and up. Tuck your tailbone. Stack your right wrist under your shoulder and lift your left arm

to the sky. Draw your shoulder blades away from your ears and into your spine. Create a strong straight line from your heels to the crown of your head and from your right to your left hand.

Return to a high push-up and take Vasisthana on the opposite side.

A simple modification to make Side Plank more accessible to beginners is to bring the bottom knee down to the mat in line with the bottom hip.

For the more advanced yogi, Vasisthasana can be taken to a fuller expression. To do this, raise your top leg. Keep both your legs straight and active and flex both feet. Lift your leg as high as possible while maintaining a strong core and a straight back. Hold for several breaths and return to a high push-up and repeat Side Plank on the opposite side.

State observes mental health month Honoring South Carolinians who are living with a mental illness, the South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) joins the nation in recognition of May as Mental Health Month.

Each year, the SCDMH, mental health advocacy groups, churches, schools and civic organizations challenge South Carolinians to consider their views toward mental illness, to respect those individuals who live with these medical disorders, and to fight the stigma that too often prevents those in need from seeking help.

“Now more than ever, we as a nation are recognizing the importance of good mental health to our families, friends, and neighbors; mental illness affects us all,” said SCDMH State Director John

H. Magill. “The driving message is that mental illnesses are treatable disorders, and recovery is possible for those with mental illness.”

May 5-11 marks National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week. A coalition of children’s services and civic organizations, led by the Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health of SC, marked the observance with a Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day rally, Wednesday, May 8 at 11 a.m. on the North steps of the State Capitol.

To find out about Mental Health Month screenings or events in your area, to find out what you can do to raise awareness during Mental Health Month, or to learn more about the programs and services offered by the

South Carolina Department of Mental Health, call (800) 763-1024, or visit www.scdmh.org.

The South Carolina Department of Mental Health’s mission is to support the recovery of people with mental illnesses, giving priority to adults with serious and persistent mental illness and to children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances. The agency serves approximately 100,000 citizens with mental illnesses, approximately 30,000 of whom are children and adolescents, and provides outpatient services through a network of seventeen community mental health centers and numerous clinics. It also operates four hospitals, one community nursing care center, and three veterans’ nursing homes.

Clean room, no tantrum Local SCORE chapter ranked ‘outstanding’ In honor of National Clean Up Your Room Day on May 10, Merry Maids of Beaufort has some ideas to motivate kids and adults to keep a cleaner room.

Make A Contest of It: Chances are, your room could use some cleaning, too. If not, there’s probably another space in your home that you’ve been meaning to conquer.

Assign everyone in the family a room or a space to clean and set a time limit. Then, ask a neutral party to judge. Take before and after pictures and send them to the judge if no one neutral is around. You may even consider raising the stakes by posting the pictures to Facebook and letting all your friends decide. The prize can be an outing of the winner’s choice, but something that will be enjoyable for everyone.

Detail What Needs To Be Done: This is especially helpful for younger children, but it’s true for older kids, too. Instead of just saying “clean your room,” give them a clearly defined list of what to do: make your bed, put dirty clothes in the hamper, place books on the shelves and toys in the bins, etc. If your child is unable to read, draw a picture of each task and allow him or her to cross it off or erase the picture upon completion.

Let Them Control Their Space: You probably don’t love the idea of handing over complete artistic control of their rooms to your children, but you could let them decide the types and styles of bins they use to store their things. They are far

merry maids mother’s day contest winner This year’s winner, Sarah, was nominated by her friend, Shannon, in a very moving letter. Sarah is the mother of six children and the proud military wife of a Marine Corps Captain. Her husband fell suddenly ill with an aggressive form of leukemia and is being hospitalized elsewhere, leaving Sarah responsible for taking care of all things back here. Even though the distance has forced them apart, Sarah still makes sure to make celebrate birthdays and special occasions, many of which have taken place in the hospital so that her husband may be included in creating these family lasting memories.

Through it all, Sarah has constantly had a smile on her face and is handling everything with grace, faith and strength.

When she was told she was the winner, Sarah was so excited and grateful. She said, “All we have ever looked for was prayers. This will help us so much!”

more likely to get excited about stashing their toys in a Monsters University bin they picked out themselves.

Pick Your Own Clean-up Song: Pick one or a few kid-friendly, upbeat songs that neither you nor your child will tire of quickly and designate that your Clean-Up playlist. The music will make cleaning up more fun and eventually when your child hears it, he or she will automatically know it’s time to tidy.

The Lowcountry Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) was ranked outstanding by clients in 2012 based on a survey designed by PricewaterhouseCoopers to measure client satisfaction. The local chapter was honored in the top 10 nationally out of more than 340 chapters. Each client served by SCORE automatically receives a questionnaire, and about 10% respond.

The Lowcountry SCORE has 40 volunteers who provide counseling to small business, nonprofits or any individual or group considering starting such. This chapter serves Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. The chapter has also developed seminars to be given in cooperation with Chambers of Commerce, colleges, high schools, and other organizations.

According to the national report, 33 new businesses were assisted in starting in the four county area that is served by this chapter The local SCORE group receives about $2,000 from the Small Business Administration. Each volunteer counselor contributes time, funds and mileage to support the effort.

On the Mom Spectrum, how do I measure up?

By Pamela Brownstein

When I look back at the past year, I find myself asking, “What kind of mom am I?” After an informal poll of myself, I’m coming up with mixed results.

I’m not one of those overprotective parents. If my 16-month-old falls down (which happens often) I don’t freak out. I don’t hover over him, and I think he enjoys having free reign to explore. But I have found myself being more of a Safety Lady than I ever pictured. My husband, who is more laid back than I will ever be, has had frequent opportunities to tell me to relax,

there’s no need to take the baby to the hospital at 3 in the morning just because he’s coughing.

I’m also not really the domestic goddess I once believed I could be. Our house is kind of messy on the days I’m working, and most of the time I’m too tired to care.

At seven months pregnant, it’s getting harder to pick up random toys found in odd places or books strewn about the living room. But by the end of the week, I go on a big cleaning kick.

I’m a working mom, but I work from home so I have more flexibility than most, so

I can’t even totally claim that role.

I like to provide healthy food for my toddler, and I like going to the grocery store stocking up for meals, but I wouldn’t describe myself as a good cook. My husband jokes that I am more of an idea person, while he is the executor.

Does all of this mean I’m just an average mom? Certainly, that cannot be! Luckily, this survey is rigged and I view not being on either extreme of the Mom Spectrum as a good thing. So what does this selfreflection reveal? I’m the best mom I can Wolfe and me in October 2012 on Hilton be, and that’s what’s most important.

Head Island.

letter to the editor Does health insurance equal good health?

Health insurance for all is a very desirable goal. However, it is important to keep in mind that having health insurance does not equal good health. It seems somehow counterintuitive, at first, as all the insurance plans have the word “health” in their title or among their stated goals. It is a well-researched public health fact that a dominant group of illnesses is related to what is termed behavioral/lifestyle factors and only we, individually, have the real control over the myriad of decisions that lead to a potential salubrious outcome.

“Health” as well as “care” are both complex issues but they need not be complicated and insurmountable. There is a large amount of good research already done on both topics. Below is one of them, an extract from a published research, dealing with the Affordable Care Act and its Medicaid component; the results may surprise some.

Expanding Medicaid: Mental and Financial Health Improve, but No Improvement Shown in Physical Health (Oregon Health Insurance Experiment).

In 2008, Oregon held a lottery to give additional low-income, uninsured residents access to its Medicaid program; about 90,000

More big news for Beaufort: Midtown Square

By Will McCullough

There’s been a good deal of positive buzz about the Beaufort area in the national media recently. Over just the past few days, we’ve seen thousands of fans line our downtown streets in order to show their support for local American Idol phenom Candice Glover, seen BHS alumni Devin Taylor drafted by the Detroit Lions and heard that Beaufort is named “America’s Happiest Seaside Town” by Coastal Living Magazine.

And, in case you missed it, we’ve had one other local entity receive some pretty impressive accolades recently and that’s Midtown Square, the new community in downtown Beaufort, located near the corner of Bladen and Prince streets.

Just last week, Southern Living Magazine, the largest regional lifestyle magazine in the U.S., announced that Midtown Square was being awarded the title of “Community/Development of the Year – 2013”. For a project that, only two years ago, was just a vacant patch of land resting in our city’s Northwest Quadrant, this is absolutely amazing. Before I go any further, I feel obligated to fully disclose that Deena and I are the Realtors who have been responsible for the marketing and sales of the community. For that reason, I have refrained from writing about Midtown until now as I didn’t want it to appear as if I was utilizing this column for blatant self-serving purposes. However, as the project is now nearly sold out, I felt it was finally an appropriate time to share a little insight on what I personally feel made the development such a success. It all boils down to the product, the location and the people involved and, while I could spend a lot of time heralding both the product and the location, I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a good bit about that in other publications over the next few months. Instead, I’d like to focus for a few minutes on the people; the local folks and business that you may not hear about otherwise and were, in my opinion, instrumental to the project’s success.

Developer Steven Tully is the developer for the project and I can say from firsthand experience that this man puts Beaufort first in his decision making process. On multiple occasions, I’ve witnessed Steve make decisions that would better benefit the city as a whole when choosing the alternative might have better benefited his bottom line. He’s the type of leader who puts forth a vision and ensures it stays on track and does so without

micromanaging. In short, he’s a true asset to our community.

Builder Allen Patterson Residential, the builder for Midtown Square, has accomplished what I consider to be akin to a miracle. It’s practically impossible to drive down Bladen Street and not be awed by his work. But what most people don’t know is that almost every single one of these custom homes were built by Allen and his team for clients who were living hundreds of miles away during the actual build. The volume of client-builder communication required to allow multiple long distance clients to show up on closing day to a custom dream home built to their specification is Herculean and Allen, Julie, Peggy, Rod, Nate and their crews should be commended.

Architect Allison Ramsey Architects has been responsible for the lion’s share of the designs utilized for marketing Midtown Square yet their contribution to the success of the community didn’t stop there. Once again, reliable communication proved to be a crucial factor. I’d already be retired if I had a dollar for every time one of us picked up the phone, at all hours of the day, and asked Cooter Ramsey for pictures, plans, modifications and opinions. The catch was that not only did Allison Ramsey always deliver; they did so in an extremely timely manner.

Lenders & Attorneys: While buyers successfully utilized a variety of quality lenders and attorneys to represent them during their purchases, a few local entities stand out to me as I write this.

Lender SCB&T and attorney David Tedder reliably served builder Allen Patterson Residential throughout the project. Harvey & Battey Law Firm served the developer equally well and, along with CBC National Bank, was also kind enough to assist with multiple open house marketing events. I can’t stress enough how many “moving parts” these transactions had and the overwhelming amount of communication these local lenders, attorneys and paralegals exchanged to ensure all parties were well served.

My motivation is simply to state that Midtown Square’s success was brought about by a wide array of local businesses and individuals, each focused on making sure their piece of the puzzle fit perfectly with all the others. This, in general, just seems to be something the people of Beaufort do quite well.

Brokerage Working at Lowcountry Real Estate is an absolute pleasure for Deena and me. From a sales perspective, Edward Dukes, John Trask, Donna Duncan and all of the agents at Lowcountry were a source of constant support, guidance and motivation. It should be pointed out that the entire community might never have taken off as quickly had Lowcountry agent Gary Glaeser not initiated the momentum by bringing the first buyer almost exactly two years ago.

Buyers Making the decision to purchase in Midtown, only a few years after the collapse of the national real estate market, took a degree of pioneer spirit from the first several buyers. But these early buyers did their homework and moved forward. The community would obviously never have taken off without these first few pioneers as well.

I have no doubt that I’ve missed mentioning many who made powerful contributions to Midtown Square and, for that, I apologize. I also recognize that there are many equally great lenders, attorneys, etc. in the Beaufort area and this column is not meant as an endorsement of any of the entities I named. One should always choose representatives whom they personally feel most comfortable with. My motivation is simply to state that Midtown Square’s success was brought about by a wide array of local businesses and individuals, each focused on making sure their piece of the puzzle fit perfectly with all the others. This, in general, just seems to be something the people of Beaufort do quite well.

While I personally was extremely lucky to be associated with the project, I’m even luckier to live in a community that so excels at working together towards a common goal.

American Idol and Lowcountry Hero comes HOME

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

Candice Glover was treated to an emotional homecoming last weekend as thousands of Lowcountry residents flocked to see her in person at several locations throughout Beaufort County.

The American Idol hopeful arrived to the cheers of a few hundred people at Signature Airport in Savannah on Friday evening, where TV crews and reporters interviewed her during her about the last few weeks on the popular

FOX show and her feelings about coming home. “I just can’t wait to eat my mom and grandma’s cooking,” she said.

“I miss Southern cooking so much!”

Donning her favorite color purple all weekend, the Lowcountry Idol was poised, humbled and gracious while making numerous appearances on Saturday, even though she stayed up late chatting with friends and family Friday night. She signed autographs in Habersham after a live broadcast on

94.5 The Coast with Joel Garrett before heading to a private reception in her honor at Penn Center on St. Helena Island. She then headed downtown for the homecoming parade, which included participants and organizations who have influenced Glover’s life. A concert was held on the corner of Charles and Bay Streets, and an estimated 10,000 people watched as the new queen of soul performed her well-known hits from the show, including “Love Song” and “Girl

on Fire.”

Additionally, Mayor Billy Keyserling gave Candice the Key to the City. He commissioned artist Jeri Taylor to weave and fashion the key made from the indigenous Bull Rush grass to symbolize Candice’s ancestry and St. Helena Island’s unique heritage. Locals united for a fun-filled weekend recognizing one of their own. And, whether she wins or not, Candice Glover is a true American Idol.

Mayor Billy Keyserling says thank you, Beaufort I am so proud to be the Mayor of a city that so adeptly pulled off the Candice Glove Homecoming on such short notice. And I want to express my thanks to at least some of the hundreds of people who, in three short days, seamlessly assembled a series of complicated events that under normal circumstances would have taken months to plan and execute.

First, I want to thank Candice Glover whose humble presence and magnificently “huge” voice has brought sunshine not only to her hometown but to the millions in front of whom she has performed.

I would like to thank the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce for taking the helm and promoting and coordinating the event.

I would like to thank the Water Festival Team for investing their talents to assemble the stage, lights sound and manage the complicated logistics for the concert.

I would like to thank the Pat Harvey Palmer and Lions Club.

I would like to thank and commend Beaufort Police Chief Matt Clancy and his officers, Beaufort

Mayor Keyserling presents Candice Glover with a “key’ to the city on stage at the American Idol concert last Saturday in downtown Beaufort. The key is made out of indigenous Bull Rush grass from a local basket weaver.

County Sheriff PJ Tanner and his deputies and Chiefs Sammy Negron of the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department and Chief Bruce Kline of the Lady’s Island-St Helena Fire Department for their contributions. Also Port Royal Mayor Sam Murray and his City Council for “sharing” some of their capable law enforcement staff to complement the public safety

team. It is my undersanding that with this team of officers and firefighters in place, there were no incidents and no accidents during the parade and concert.

I would like to thank Governor Nikki Haley for coming to Beaufort to be in the Parade and for designating the day as Candice Glover Day in South Carolina I would like to thank Mark Robertson and his colleague from 98.7 Radio for agreeing, on very short notice, to be the unscripted Masters of Ceremonies.

I would like to thank Beek Webb and the Beaufort County Open Land Trust for letting the Elliot House be used as a staging area for Candice, her family, the governor and the producers of American Idol.

I would like to thank the literally hundreds of volunteers who did what needed to be done when it needed to be done.

And perhaps even more importantly, I would like to thank the people of Beaufort and the surrounding areas for participating.

Thank you, Beaufort. I am honored and proud to be your mayor.

Gov. Nikki Haley declares Candice Glover Day

Photo by Captured Moments Photography Governor Nikki Haley issued a statewide proclamation designating May 4 as “Candice Glover Day” across South Carolina. The proclamation recognizes St. Helena Island native Candice Glover’s great talent and continuing success on FOX Network’s “American Idol.” Born and raised on St. Helena Island, Glover delivered her first public performance at Oaks True Holiness Church at the age of 4. Over the course of the show, Glover has won praise from judges and millions of viewers alike.

spotlight.”

Teachers of the year learn of selections via surprise visits Some very special Beaufort County School District teachers were treated with gift baskets of flowers, balloons and treats last Friday as Board of Education members made surprise visits to their classrooms to announce the 2013- 2014 Teachers of the Year.

School Teachers of the Year are selected by their peers according to criteria established by the schools, the South Carolina Department of Education and the district’s Teacher Forum based on attributes outlined by student advisory councils. Next fall, the teachers honored will be eligible for District Teacher of the Year honors.

“We have so many strong teachers,” said Board of Education Chairman Bill Evans, “and this is a day when we recognize a small group of them to represent all of our outstanding professionals. The fact that they were selected through a process that involved their peers makes their recognitions even more significant.”

Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm echoed Evans’ comments.

“To honor these very deserving teachers is something that the board members and I look forward to each and every year,” she said. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the unique gifts of our classroom teachers because they are impetus of student achievement in our district.”

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

Penn Center Gala

The 10th annual 1862 Circle Gala celebrates inductees Penn Center’s mission is “to promote and preserve the Sea Islands’ history and culture” and for over 150 years it has been doing exactly that.

Penn became the first African American site in South Carolina whose primary purpose was to safeguard the heritage of a Gullah community, by preserving districts and landmarks that epitomize important elements of its culture, history, and vernacular history; and to promote the use and conservation of such landmarks for the education, recreation and enrichment of the residents of the county and state.

There are few institutions born of circumstance with such longstanding records of contribution to their community as Penn Center, formerly known as Penn School. By living so long and so well, this institution has launched hundreds of lives on trajectories that, by their speed and light, have shown the way for thousands more in their lineage and beyond their family constellation.

As actual patriarchs or matriarchs of their families, Penn School graduates and individuals assisted by Penn Ron Center have influenced future Daise generations incalculably.

The good works for and by the people of the Penn “community” find their origins in a time when Sea Islanders of African descent became free of slavery. Actual freedom, long denied and then attained, and how to use Joseph it, was what inspired Penn Opala School’s founding. In the 150 years since, Penn School, now known as Penn Center, has helped light the path for determined individuals to best achieve their full potential.

By its induction of Ron Daise, Joseph Opala and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort into the honored membership of the 1862 Circle, Penn Center is affirming in 2013 that its mission — connecting it from its hallowed past to the challenges of the present — remains to create leadership and provide the service that will allow one generation to advance from the sacrifices made and knowledge gained by its ancestors. The key to this magnificent accomplishment by Penn School through the years, and now Penn Center, has always been education. In 2013, the Penn Center 1862 Circle inductees all carry forward the connections from the past that inform our present and build our future.

Ron Daise, Chairman of the four-state, federal Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, has found creative ways to honor and share his roots all his adult life. Mr. Daise and his wife Natalie created theater experiences for audiences to learn about and from this rich sea island heritage, including the award-winning TV show “Gullah Gullah Island.” In his most recent book, “Gullah Branches, West African Roots,” Mr. Daise uses memoir, photographs, poetry, and traditional and non-traditional music to document discoveries of personal and cultural 20

connections with West Africa. His numerous awards include: the 1996 South Carolina Order of the Palmetto, the State’s highest honor; the 1997 State of South Carolina Folk Heritage Award, given for lifetime achievement and excellence in folk art; and the 2007 South Carolina African American Heritage Commission’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Mr. Daise asks people who compliment his many accomplishments, jokingly, “Well, aren’t you aware that I’m the son of Penn School graduates?” His mother, Kathleen Daise Grant, a school teacher before raising her nine children with Henry Daise, Sr., is the oldest living graduate of Penn School.

Joseph Opala, an historian, researcher and teacher, has focused extensively on the “Gullah Connection” - the long historical thread that links Africans in Sierra Leone and other West African countries with Gullah people in America. While a professor at the University of Sierra Leone from 1985 to 1991, Mr. Opala served as an advisor to Sierra Leone’s president on cultural policy. His research has led to historic visits, first by Sierra Leone’s president to an American Gullah community, and then an historic “Homecoming” to Sierra Leone the following year by nine Gullahs from South Carolina and Georgia. Other work by Mr. Opala connected an ancient African song preserved by a Gullah family in coastal Georgia to a village in Sierra Leone where the song is still sung today. His honors courses on such subjects as the “History of Slavery” and “African American Folk Culture Through Film” have engaged students on projects to design a “Gullah Connection Trail” for the U.S. Park Service, and to create a two-day “Gullah Film Festival” for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. In recent years, he has served as advisor to the U.S. National Park Service on African American history, and as Scholar-in-Residence at Penn Center. Mr. Opala’s research and many bridge-building projects have drawn coverage by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press, and appearances on “60 Minutes”, CNN, and three programs on NPR. The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort (UUFB) draws its inspiration directly

the island news | may 9-15, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

from the founding of Penn School. In 1862 Laura Towne, inspired by the abolitionist sermons she heard at First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, travelled to St. Helena Island to work with thousands of people newly freed from slavery.

As homeopathic physician and teacher, she began to serve, leading people of many faiths in construction of Penn School for the betterment of local islanders. Her example compels UUFB members to proudly partner with Penn Center to continue its legacy of social justice.

During the last decade, Rev. Nan L. White and UUFB have actively engaged members of their Unitarian Universalist faith - local, regional, and national – in support of Penn Center. Many have come to Penn campus as volunteers, as attendees at conferences, and as inspired tourists.

With a focus on programs for youth, UUFB members receive as they give, and are grateful for the opportunity to work at an institution whose mission is so steeped in noble history.

In addition to its commitment to Penn Center, the UUFB congregation has been recognized for its volunteer work throughout the Beaufort area, whether tutoring students, delivering “rescued” food to the needy, providing meals and companionship for homeless families, nurturing local organic farming, or cleaning trash from our roads and waterways. The congregation’s service work is a clear reflection of a UUFB saying: “Many Beliefs – One Light.”

In their similarity — to draw on the past to inspire the present to improve the future — this year’s inductees to the 1862 Circle share the hope that Penn School represented to those newly freed. When we understand the lessons that our shared history presents, we are better able to build success and create opportunities for ourselves, and those who come behind us.

This year’s committee members are Harry Patterson (Chairman), Bob Bundy, Chris Jones, Benji Hill, Charlotte Diorio, Christian Sherbert, Matt Flewelling, Christina Tilton, Marjory Mitchell, Jay Lovell, Jeff Althoff, John Davis, Scott Jennings and Eddie Thames In addition to the board and committee members, the invitational could not be possible without the help of sponsors, Fripp Island Resort and the ever popular Par 3 Girls that assist with the tournament all weekend.

As added excitement to the weekend, the American Idol finale will be Thursday, May 16. Candice Glover, who worked at Fripp Island Excursions, could possibly be announced as the next American Idol that evening.

Beaufortonians use hearts and feet to fight cancer Walkers will go around the clock in the battle against cancer when the 2013 American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Beaufort gets under way with teams of residents gathering at Battery Creek High School on Friday, May 17, at 7 p.m.

Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising prior to the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups — people from all walks of life, all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back.

This year’s Beaufort Relay for Life will be full of entertainment and events for the entire 12 hours. This event will end on Saturday, May 18, with a Non-Denominational Sunrise Service

“Relay is a unique opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against the disease.”

Relay for Life Beaufort Community Manager Brittany Reid at 7 a.m.

“Relay is a unique opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against the disease,” said Brittany Reid, Community Manager. “Many of the participants are cancer survivors, which serves as a reminder that Beaufort is not immune to this disease and that by participating in Relay, we are joining with the American Cancer Society’s efforts to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays,” Reid added.

Funds raised at Relay For Life of Beaufort are enabling the American Cancer Society to impact the lives of those touched by cancer within the community.

Relay For Life’s Luminaria Ceremony takes place after sundown, honoring

the community’s cancer survivors and remembering those lost to the disease.

Participants will circle a track that is surrounded with glowing luminaria that bear the name of someone who has battled cancer. Luminaria may be purchased for $10 by e-mailing luminaria.rflbeaufort@gmail.com or by visiting http://main.acsevents.org/site/ TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY13SA?fr_ id=52911&pg=fr_ecommerce.

Also a part of Beaufort’s Relay For Life event is the “Fight Back” Ceremony, in which a community leader will inspire Relay participants with his or her own commitment and will challenge them to take a personal pledge of action (e.g., stop smoking, eat more healthily, exercise regularly, etc.) in fighting back.

To locate a Relay for Life event and find out how you may get involved,

please call 1-800-227-2345 or visit RelayForLife.org.

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer.

As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year.

lunch bunch Guest chef takes over the kitchen to serve a taste bud-melting

SUNDAY BRUNCH AT SUZARA’S

By Pamela Brownstein

I am of the opinion that brunch is the best meal of the day, a perfect combination of breakfast and lunch. So I was excited when Lunch Bunch was invited to try the new Sunday Brunch being served at SuZara’s Kitchen.

During the week, SuZara’s serves their excellent lunch and baked goods, but on Sundays, Chef Anthony Fairbanks — former executive chef at The Tooting Egret — prepares brunch his way.

While scanning the mouthwatering menu, a satisfied patron at a nearby table told us, “Your taste buds are going Clockwise from above: Pancakes with pulled pork; Pea salad; Shrimp and grits; The to melt.” And she was right.

Poached eggs with creamed Brussel sprouts and home fries; The Baked Egg bowl.

Chef Tony started us with a healthy Pea Salad — snow peas, sugar snap peas, with a spicy tomato sauced in a bowl fresh corn, green onions, country ham carrot and sesame salad with Agave and baked with olives and Feta cheese. It and cream over stone ground white sesame vinaigrette topped with steamed was expertly cooked and the housemade cheddar grits. This seriously amazing dish sets a high standard for this shrimp and shaved Bellavitano cheese. grilled pita bread was a side bonus.

Guest Lunch Buncher Daniel Southern staple that will have you Although not what I would order on my own, the salad was delightful, especially ordered the pancake breakfast — three wanting more.

wine

The moon is shining, the wine is poured

By Celia Strong

Oh, no. Another new wine. What are we to do? I’ll tell you what: We clap our hands for happy, lucky us, do our lesson Celia Strong works and get to it as quickly as we can. at Bill’s Liquor & For geography, we are in California, Fine Wines on Lady’s Sonoma County, the Russian River Island.

AVA. We have discussed this AVA before. Last time I remember talking about the Russian River it was for a Pinot Noir, one of the two grape varieties that the Russian River AVA is really known for. The other, Chardonnay, is our grape for this week’s wine.

The Russian River AVA was established in 1983, and enlarged in 2005. The Russian River Valley is way larger than the AVA, which is located between Sebastopol and Santa Rosa on its north and Forestville and Healdsburg on its south. Viticulture in this area dates back to the 19th century. Immigrants from Mediterranean countries came here and planted the first vines. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were nearly 200 wineries. The valley has is a fun fact, the winery name is derived a cool climate and is heavily affected by from the native American word for fog from the Pacific Ocean. The Russian Sonoma, which means “valley of the River Valley Winegrowers trade group moon.” The ownership of Valley of the claims that 42 percent of the grapes Moon has changed several times over grown here are Chardonnay; Pinot Noir the years. Like so many other wineries. is 29 percent. Chardonnays grown here Currently, long-time vintners and good are distinctly different from those grown friends Dan Zepponi and Tony Stewart in nearby areas like Alexander Valley are the owners.

AVA and Dry Creek Valley AVA. The At Valley of the Moon, the quality region’s cool climate produces more of their wines begins in the vineyards. grapes with higher acidity. The wines Different varieties are matched with tend to be more balanced than the fatter, the different Sonoma micro-climates creamier style from their neighbors in and soils where they will do their best. the Alexander Valley.

Sustainable farming is a long-standing Our winery, this week, we have also practice. Their winemaking philosophy visited before — Valley of the Moon. This is focused on letting each variety show winery is located in the Glen Ellen area. its personality. Each lot of grapes, like (Yes, that is a place in Sonoma County.) our Chardonnays, is handled separately, It is the longest operating winery there. pressed as whole clusters, and blended Actually, Valley of the Moon has been only after the wines are made. I would operating as a winery since 1863, just tell you, because it’s true with other not with its current name. There are wines from Valley of the Moon, that stone buildings at the winery, still being each lot of grapes, after fermentation, used, that date back to the 1880’s. They is barrel-aged separately as well. But, also built a new winery in 1998. It is our Chardonnay is “unoaked,” so barrel this combination of history and modern aging of the different lots of wine doesn’t technology that drives Valley of the apply.

Moon today. We should note, because it When a Chardonnay wine is unoaked,

“They know you and you know them”

This week’s wine, the Valley of the Moon Unoaked Russian River Chardonnay, comes from the longest operating winery in Sonoma County, California. There are stone buildings at the winery, still being used, that date back to the 1880s. The name is derived from the Native American word for Sonoma, which means “valley of the moon.” the winemaker has decided to make that style of wine. Sometimes, the decision is made because this is the traditional style of an area. Like Chablis, in the northern part of the Burgundy region in France, has this tradition from their centuries of making Chardonnay wines. In California, it’s not tradition, but a style choice for the winemaker. Chardonnay, in the world of winemakers, is considered to be a fairly neutral variety. They love playing with this variety because the neutrality lets them develop different aromas and flavors, and textures too, by what they do. Fermenting in oak, aging in oak, American versus French oak, and on and on. Chardonnay is an easy grape to grow, in a lot of different soils and climates. ( Just look at how many there are from almost every country that makes wine.) Malolactic fermentation is also a choice. When aged in barrels, this secondary fermentation takes place almost automatically. The resulting wine has a smoother, rounder texture. Because they don ‘t go into barrels, many unoaked Chardonnays have crisper acidity. But, again, this is a choice and the malolactic fermentation can be done for unoaked wines. Either way, without the oak, we taste more of the basic flavors of this grape — green apple, lemon, sometimes pineapple.

Here’s another point in our favor with unoaked Chardonnay wines. Those barrels are not cheap. One new barrel runs over $500, way over. Each barrel loses some of its flavor every time it is used. Two, maybe three times, and it’s pretty much retired. (Really, they are passed on to use for less expensive

wines, sometimes even chopped up into chips and tossed into the big vats of much less expensive wines. There’s a big difference between “aged in oak” and “aged with oak.”) So, as we look at bottles of Russian River AVA Chardonnays, the majority of which are given some time aging in barrels, we have to notice that we are paying for that process. Of course, we do love that style, so we pay what we have to to get them.

But, lucky us, we have the chance to taste Chardonnay from the Russian River AVA, as great a spot as it for the variety, all by itself. The Valley of the Moon Unoaked Russian River Chardonnay is delicious. It has nectarine, orange flower blossom and mineral flavors. And, yep, apple too. The long ripening period from the cool climate in the AVA makes layers of flavors, complex and bright. In particularly cool years, like 2011, the really high acidity level of the wine is tempered by a malolactic fermentation in about 80 percent of the wine, before blending. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, in its small lots, and aged in steel tanks for about five months. This malolactic fermentation gives the wine a smoother texture in the middle of your mouth, but leaves enough acidity on the sides of your tongue for a clean, crisp finish with lime and tangerine notes.

This wine is 97 percent Chardonnay, with 2 percent Pinot Blanc and 2 percent Muscat Canelli. All for $15.99.

My suspicion is, as we go into warmer weather, unoaked Chardonnays might be more enjoyable. Having tasted this Valley of the Moon, I know there will be some at my house. Enjoy.

With our area merchants relationships and trust are as much a part of doing business as profit. These businesses are run by hometown people who have a stake in this community. They know you and you know them. They stand behind what they sell.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

Old friend, live with me forever

By Tracie Korol

Old dogs are our friends and protectors; the life-long love affair we have with them is priceless. They have endured our foolishness, overlooked our mistakes and have celebrated our achievements alongside us for years.

They, in part, have contributed to who we are. A kind heart demands we return to them in their dotage the attention they unfailingly gave to us in their youth. We cannot indefinitely prolong our aging dog’s life but we can pledge to enhance the enjoyment of the time left.

Simply, they ask that we guide them into a comfortable old age.

When does a dog become an old dog?

Each individual, dog or person, has his own tempo for aging. Smaller dogs age less quickly than larger breeds and mutts seem to have more longevity than purebred dogs. As dogs approach the age of 7, muzzles may whiten, the eyes may become a bit more opaque and chasingthe-ball time becomes shorter and less enthusiastic. As he becomes even older he may have trouble with stairs, his appetite may decrease, he may develop changes in appearance and he may get a bit crotchety. Sleeping becomes a major pastime. What can we do to make this transition easier?

Old dogs like hands-on love. Andy has been part of the family for the last 11 years. He’s such a part of the household routine that no one really notices him anymore. But now is the time to recognize his important contribution to the family by giving him special time. Carve 10

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath.

Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

Carve 10 minutes from your hectic daily schedule to put your hands on your old dog. Listen to him breathe. Tell him he is The Best. Communicate to him that you appreciate his place in your life. minutes from your hectic daily schedule to simply put your hands on your old dog. Listen to him breathe. Tell him he is The Best. Gently stroke him, feel for lumps, bumps, warm areas, tender spots — any signs that a veterinary check-up could improve his health and your peace of mind. Communicate to him that you appreciate his place in your life.

Take care where your old dog sleeps.

Older joints are less well lubricated; often it is painful getting up and down.

Would Andy be more comfortable on a thick, orthopedic foam pad? Does he prefer to lean into something when he sleeps, place his head up on a bolster? Is he less restless if his bed is next to yours?

When sleeping is an aged friend’s major activity, a special bed may be his due.

Obsess about his nutrition and health. Even though Andy’s hearing has

diminished and he creaks when he rises from the floor, he can still get himself to the kitchen with delighted effort when he hears his food bowl rattle. It’s still the highlight of his day! Consult with a professional about geriatric foods, supplements and new ways to tempt his aging palate. Anti-oxidant supplements such as vitamins A, C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and MSM are all beneficial to the older dog.

Sometimes a top dressing of herbs or spices or dry grated cheese is all it takes to make mealtime even more special.

Avoid stress. Andy may no longer be able to tolerate extremes in heat or cold or drastic interruptions in his routine. With another hot and steamy summer around the corner, consider now how to accommodate his exercise and evacuation needs. This may be the summer Andy sits out the festivals in the comfort of his air conditioned home.

Exercise mind and body. Don’t believe the old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Stimulate your dog’s brain with new teachings, new places to see and smell and new things to do.

Stimulating a dog’s mind helps keep the brain in tip-top shape. Choose new destinations for the evening walk or play “search and rescue”, a game all dogs love.

My beagle learned how to “sit pretty” (sit up) at age 12. At 16 she would raise her paw when she wanted some extra attention, as if I’d forget.

Nourish his spirit. What does an old dog want? You, and your undivided attention. Love him today like there is no tomorrow.
