T

he United States Marine Corps is the third-oldest military branch in the United States, after the Army and the Navy. The Continental Congress on Nov. 10, 1775 approved a resolution to establish two battalions of Marines able to fight at sea and on shore, as the war for independence from Britain neared.

This resolution established the Continental Marines and marked the birth date of the United States Marine Corps. Serv-

ing on land and at sea, these first Marines distinguished themselves in a number of important operations, including their first amphibious raid into the Bahamas in March 1776, under the command of Captain (later Major) Samuel Nicholas.

The first commissioned officer in the Continental Marines, Nicholas remained the senior Marine officer throughout the American Revolution and is considered to be the first Marine Commandant. The Treaty of Paris in April 1783 brought an end to the Revolutionary War and as the last of the Navy’s ships were sold, the Continental Navy and Marines went out of existence.

Following the Revolutionary War, increasing conflict with Revolutionary France led to the formal re-establishment of the Marine Corps on MARINE continued on page 7

Celebrating another successful southern tradition

By Bob Sofaly

It’s a good thing oysters, and those that love them, aren’t bothered by a little rain.

Because rain it did on Saturday night which gave a soggy start for the annual Rotary Club of The Lowcountry Oyster Roast at Live Oak Park in Port Royal.

Heavy rain prior the start had event organizers worried about participation as

one Rotarian said, “another line of rain is coming based on a recent weather check.” based on a weather check he did. But, the party gods were nice and after the initial downpour, the weather cooperated and good time was had by all.

Who’s News Veteran firefighter named Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Chief Longtime Beaufort firefighter Capt.

Reece Bertholf is the new BeaufortPort Royal Fire Chief effective Jan. 15, 2016. Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop announced the promotion recently after a lengthy review of highly-qualified internal candidates, he said. Bertholf will assume his new duties upon the retirement of current Fire Chief Sammy Negron but will be working closely with Chief Negron to ensure an orderly transfer.

“Captain Bertholf brings so much to the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department and to the City of Beaufort. We look forward to his leadership as our new Fire Chief,” Prokop said.

A Minnesota native, Bertholf joined the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department in 2001 after serving in the Marine Corps. Since then, he has steadily increased his firefighting responsibilities while also earning a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree.

“He has a very strong drive, a very strong work ethic, and he is determined to continually improve this fire department,” Chief Negron said. “I am thrilled at his selection as the next chief.”

Bertholf enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps when he graduated high school. His military service included time with Combat Assault Battalion in Okinawa Japan and with MWSS 273 in Beaufort. Bertholf also was a member of the 1999 Marine Corps Summer Pistol Team.

“We have some of the best firefighters in the Southeastern United States working here in Beaufort and Port Royal, and I am proud to work alongside them. They have a deep commitment to the community and they work hard every day to protect lives and property,” Bertholf said. “I’m excited to follow in Chief Negron’s footsteps.”

Bertholf earned his Master’s in Business Administration from The

Citadel in 2013, and also holds a Bachelor’s degree in business from USC-Beaufort and Associates degrees in business and Fire Service Administration from the Technical College of the Lowcountry.

Some of his key achievements with the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department include: · Helping the department earn an $84,000 federal grant to improve air quality inside fire stations · As part of team, helped create a new fire department vehicle plan that reduced overall fleet size by 21 percent while purchasing $750,000 in new and more efficient vehicles · Participated in successful efforts to improve the fire insurance ratings for Beaufort and Port Royal · Bertholf was awarded the City of Beaufort life-saving award three times Captain Bertholf ’s awards and recognitions include Academic Honor Graduate from USMC Combat Engineer School, Volunteer Firefighter of the Year for the year 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. Negron is retiring effective Jan. 15, 2016, because of health issues.

Marine

continued from page 1 11 July 1798. Since then, Marines have participated in all the wars of the United States, and in most cases were the first service members to fight. To date, Marines have executed more than 300 landings on foreign shores.

On October 21, 1921, Major Edwin North McClellan, in charge of the Corps fledgling historical section, sent a memorandum to Commandant John A. Lejeune, suggesting the Marines’ original birthday of November 10th be declared a Marine Corps holiday to be celebrated throughout the Corps. Lejeune so ordered in Marine Corps Order 47.

The Corps birthday celebrations were formalized and standardized by Commandant Lemuel C. Shepherd, Jr. in 1952, outlining the cake cutting ceremony, which would enter the Marine Drill Manual in 1956. By tradition, the first slice of cake is given to the oldest Marine present, who in turn hands it off to the youngest Marine present, symbolizing the old and experienced Marines passing their knowledge to the new generation of Marines. The celebration also includes a reading of Marine Corps Order 47, republished every year, as well as a message from the current Commandant, and often includes a banquet and dancing if possible. In many cases, the birthday

celebration will also include a pageant of current and historical Marine Corps uniforms, as a reminder of the history of the Corps. Marines are reputed to celebrate the birthday, regardless of where they may be in the world, even in austere environments or combat.

Today, there are more than 200,000 active-duty and reserve Marines, organized into three divisions stationed at Camp Lejeune, Camp Pendleton and Okinawa, Japan. Each division has one or more expeditionary units, ready to launch major operations anywhere on short notice. Marines expeditionary units are self-sufficient, with their own tanks, artillery, and air forces. The motto of the service is Semper Fidelis, meaning “Always Faithful” in Latin.

In every war, the Marines are known to have been first to fight. There are some traits that have differentiated Marines from their counterparts in other military branches for 240 years. There are reasons behind the pride in everything they do.

Americans appreciate the Marine Corps for the longstanding traditions and professionalism which Marines have worked hard to preserve. From the second they step on the yellow footprints at boot camp, to the moment they sign their DD-214 (the final document that turns a Marine into a veteran); members of the “tip of the military spear” live and breathe mission success in everything they do. Thank you past, present, and future Marines. Beaufort is happy to help you celebrate!

“Good. Better. Best.

Never let it Rest.

Until your Good is your Better And your Better is your Best!”

AMY MULNIX BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA LIFEFIT WELLNESS COACH

A fitness and nutritional trainer for all ages

By Molly Ingram

As many of you know, I decided to try the Body Makeover program that is provided by LifeFit and Beaufort Memorial in an attempt to begin to live a healthier lifestyle. And so far, so good. The program participants are divided into groups that have a set three days where they meet at the same time. My group is led by a stellar trainer and team captain named Amy Mulnix who is just an amazing young woman and mother of two youngsters.

Amy is originally from Wilkesboro, NC and graduated with a degree in Exercise Science from UNC Wilmington. Her formative years were very sports centric with a family who supported her involvement in basketball (Division I), swimming, soccer and track. By now you have figured out Amy is an excellent athlete.

Tall and lanky, she has the physique of a swimmer but her long red hair gives you a hint about the competitiveness that simmers just below her surface. So how do you take all that competitiveness and channel it into encouraging, mentoring, coaching and pushing a bunch of little old ladies, of which I am one, to become better and healthier individuals? That, my friends, is where the real talent lies.

As I look back on all of the failed times I have attempted to make the transition to “healthier” I can finally see why those times didn’t work and this time I think it will. It is simply a matter of getting the right person in the right job at the right time.

“I have always had a passion for the health and wellness world and enjoy sharing that passion with others through coaching, mentoring and training. Once I moved to Beaufort, an opportunity to work at LifeFit came up and I was greatly blessed to get the job. I’ve always been geared more towards working with children in a sport related sense, so this opportunity was a huge challenge for me but one I was very excited to accept. I grew up with coaches and personal trainers all my life, went to school to learn the science of it all, and really wanted to give back to others in the same way I had been rewarded. The game of sports taught me incredible life lessons; the value of a hard work ethic, team work, 10

time management, loyalty, integrity, commitment, perseverance and compassion. With the Body Makeover Program, these were areas in which I could use my strengths and passion to share with and motivate others in hopes to impress upon them the importance and advantages of leading a healthy lifestyle.”

Amy created a “team” of us old ladies that provided multiple benefits for each of us. We became friends besides teammates. We shared each other’s successes and when we fell off of the “healthy eating” wagon (which was more often than Amy probably hoped for) we encouraged each other to “get back on track”, and we all got bitten by the fitness bug.

Amy’s ability to encourage each of us in different ways is amazing to watch. It shows her ability to lead, and we all followed with a smile on our faces except between 12-1 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday’s when we might have been seen calling her every name we could think of until our hour of class was over.

Amy was selected to participate in Leadership Beaufort which she is enjoying immensely. “I decided to take the ultimate step and apply for the program when I realized I wanted more from living in Beaufort. I have always had a passion for serving and volunteering, but

the island news | november 12-18, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

how was I going to do this when all I did was work all day and then come home to take care of my little ones? I’m not the most out-going individual in new environments, so seeking these opportunities and getting involved wasn’t going to be easy for me. So I took the leap and was accepted into the program.”

“Growing up a mountain girl, I never really saw myself living on the coast. Even though I graduated college from a coastal community, it was always my dream to live in a cabin in the mountains and have true winters every year.

Coming to Beaufort, I think everyone’s first reaction is to see how beautiful the community truly is from an aesthetic sense. Water, everywhere! Boats, sailboats, sunsets and sunrises as vivid as the eye could imagine, a natural, commercial-less coast line, the best local seafood around, beautiful plantations, and a diverse ecosystem unlike any other. But what I love most about Beaufort is not just the visual presentation. It’s the diversity in the people who live here. The ancient cultures that still thrive here and the influence they bring to the community. The history of Beaufort and how it came to be. And lastly, how we truly seek to be one united community that provides a framework to make Beaufort like no other place in the world. There is love here amongst individuals and a shared respect for our beautiful surroundings. We are truly in God’s country here and you can feel everyone embrace that responsibility.”

Amy has an old nursery rhyme that she grew up by and it certainly provides the mantra that she lives by: Good. Better. Best.

Never let it Rest.

Until your Good is your Better And your Better is your Best!

This little ditty now lives on my refrigerator as a reminder that life really is a journey and not a competition. It’s not something you win or lose, but how much you enjoyed life as you move through it. Amy has become a friend, coach, tormentor, slave driver, therapist, and sometimes masseuse. She has pointed me in the right direction and continues to nudge me forward.

Thanks Amy for all you do for me and for all of us lucky enough to know and work with you.

LET IT FLOW, LET IT FLOW, LET IT FLOW

By Martha O’Regan

Notice how folks are suffering right now with sore throats, sinus or chest congestion, sneezing, and coughing? No fever and not really bad enough to stay home but enough to bring discomfort and a wonder about what they are “coming down with”. In our culture, we call it a cold but more often than not, it is merely a ‘seasonal cleanse’, a natural cleansing process in response to change of seasons—moving from the expansive season of summer to a contractive season of fall.

When we truly grasp that everything in all of creation is energy that follows predictable seasonal cycles, we can then begin to support certain changes in our body rather than immediately suppressing them, like we’ve been programmed to do. These expected rhythms come naturally through the foods we eat, the thoughts we think, and the activities we enjoy. As summer turns to fall, with cool mornings and warm afternoons, our bodies are following suit. We begin dressing in layers and enjoying foods that warm us up, the leaves begin to shrivel up and drop, and animals, following their innate wisdom,

finish their preparations for winter. We experience the variation of temperatures in our environments as we move from warm homes or offices to cold cars or spend hours at a football game without enough layers. Because our body follows nature, these variations ultimately force the trillion cells in our body to go from an expanded state into a contractive or state. This ‘squeezing’ process results in a detoxifying or cleansing process, which is often felt through our mucous membranes as a runny nose, sore throat and watery eyes. Our individual lifestyles and the amount of toxins our body is attempting to rid itself may make some of us feel worse than others as our body cleanses.

As soon as we begin to notice our body going through a ‘seasonal cleanse’, we

can recognize that the ‘symptoms’ we are feeling are a perfect response to the nature around us. It is actually good (albeit not always pleasant) and a natural occurrence based on basic laws of nature. Learning to begin with being grateful that our body is getting rid of the ‘gunk’ and supporting the process by drinking plenty of water and herbal teas, allows us to take control of our own health and wellbeing by getting adequate rest, utilizing essential oils, and flushing our sinuses with a neti pot or a simple saline spray.

It is most important to prevent the ‘gunk’ from getting stuck, and becoming an ‘itis’, another word for inflammation.

When the ‘gunk’ gets ‘stuck’ in the sinuses, and causes the tissues to become inflamed, it becomes ‘sinusitis’ and likewise, ‘goop’ getting ‘stuck’ in

the bronchioles in the lungs, becomes ‘bronchitis’. Support the body by using contrast therapy (hot/cold) on your sinuses or your chest using ice packs and hot baths or showers. One good trick for sinuses is to stand at the kitchen sink with 2 bowls—one with ice cubes and one with a warm compress, preferably with a few drops of eucalyptus, thyme or lavender essential oils. Alternate holding the warm compress on your face over your sinus areas (above and below the eyebrow just at the bridge of the nose and along the bottom of the cheek bone), breathing deeply (until compress cools) then rubbing the same areas with the ice cubes. Keep the cubes moving, staying in each of the six locations for several seconds. Repeating at least 3 times finishing up with the ice will bring relief as you help keep the ‘gunk’ moving---let it flow, let it flow, let it flow!

Remember that you body is always communicating with you so as you enjoy the change of seasons, become aware of how your body responds to it. When you take the time to listen and support its natural processes, you can learn to live in your body with much more ease and vitality. Live Awake……Have Fun!

Dataw Island Visual Arts Club members toast to elegance Fifty members of the Dataw Island Visual Arts Club enjoyed an evening of history, film and decadent desserts.

“Woman in Gold,” the story of one woman’s fight to recover a painting

From fishing to football, the hard work of athletes of all ages deserves recognition

Club Karate of Beaufort rocks regional black belt testing As any martial artist can tell you, it takes years and years of training to work your way up through the ranks of belt promotions to achieve that ultimate black belt status. After six or more years of intense training, fifteen members of Club Karate showed up and proved that those years of training really do pay off.

On Saturday, October 24, the United Fighting Arts Federation, the governing body of the Chuck Norris System (also known as Chun Kuk Do), held their Region 7 promotions at the McCleary Premier Martial Arts Studio in Powder Springs, Georgia. In order to be invited to this promotion, members had to successfully pass a videotaped pre-test that was evaluated by the Region 7 board.

Each of the Club Karate members that pre-tested successfully passed and were invited to test live in front of the board.

There were a total of 18 students testing in Region 7.

Each candidate must go through a series of fighting techniques, traditional techniques, one steps, katas’ and sparring during the test. Each degree of black belt has a different set of requirements that must be met during the test. The higher the degree, the longer the training,

and the more complex and in depth the requirements. After three and a half hours of evaluations, the following candidates were promoted.

The new 1st Degree Black Belts are: Catsie Castrechino, age 15, homeschooled; Travis Cato, age 12, Lady’s Island Middle School; Dan Crowden, age 50; Rob Gallagher, age 35; Merritt Patterson, age 13, Riverview Charter School;

Meg Rogowsky, age 22; Sarah Tanis, age 15, Beaufort High School; Rhogue Wallace, age 12, Lady’s Island Middle School.

New 2nd Degree Black Belt ranks were awarded to: Melinda Cato, age 46; Brandon Disbrow, age 39; Timothy Edwards, age 14, homeschooled; Jessica Lehnert, age 49; Ron Marcell, age 54; Charlie Spears, age 74.

A 3rd Degree Black Belt rank was

2nd and 3rd Degree Black Belt recipients

awarded to: Rome Wallace, age 17, Beaufort High School.

Lloyd wins Fall Lowcountry Slam Fishing Tournament

By Bob Sofaly

Mike Edmonds, weighmaster of the second annual Fall Lowcountry Slam Fishing Tournament hosted by Beaufort Boat and Dock Supply in Port Royal weighs in a red drum and speckled trout this past Saturday.

The winning aggregate catch was turned in by Caden Lloyd of Beaufort with fish totaling 6.42 pounds. There were a total of 20 boats in this year’s tournament said Michele Tanis, store manager.

Fisherman said the water was “dirty” and churned up by the wind. Still Saturday’s thunderstorms stayed away just long enough for a successful event.

Asst. Golf Pro raises $16,000 to benefit Green Beret Foundation Chris Fearn, the Assistant Golf Pro at Dataw Island, played a golf marathon last week raising over $16,000 to benefit the Green Beret Foundation.

“The Green Beret Foundation is such a worthy cause,” Fearn said. “They provide support for the Green Beret Community and their families. I am so happy to be able to help support our troops and so grateful to everyone who donated, supported and cheered me on!”

His marathon began at a sprint with glow-in-thedark golf balls at 4:30 a.m. and continued through pouring rain, cold and obvious exhaustion until 5:30 p.m. Chris played 156 holes, and got 19 birdies and 1 eagle on Dataw Island’s Morgan River course.

This is the latest project in a very productive year for Chris. In September, he coached the American team in the Simpson Cup Golf Tournament at Royal St. George’s in Sandwich, England. The Simpson Cup is an annual tournament between teams of 12 injured Servicemen and veterans from the USA and their British counterparts. All competitors involved

These teachers applied and were awarded Innovative Teacher Grants for the fall award cycle! Mrs. Jernigan was awarded a grant for our Media Center titled “Get Graphic: The World in Worlds and Pictures”

to purchase graphic novels for all students to enjoy. Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Pulaski, Mrs. Evans, and Mrs. Pope were awarded funds for “Nothing could be finer than teaching SC History” to assist in teaching our 3rd graders about South Carolina History through literature. Congratulations to these proactive teachers who saw a need and a way to fill it for the students!

Veteran’s day is a time to honor all heroes, and BA embraced the holiday by celebrating Veterans more than just one day. In preparation for Veterans Day, BA students were busy learning about Veterans’ wartime experiences and reflecting on the meaning of Veterans Day by participating in a variety of interactive projects. Students are busy collaborating across grade levels and learning from veterans and special guests too.

The fourth grade invited a special Veteran to class, retired Captain Michael Ryan, a BA grandfather and Vietnam Veteran. The students asked probing questions, learned about life as a soldier in a combat zone, and reflected on the importance of our nation’s commitment

Beware of a woman’s devil–be–damned stare

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Each morning begins with a balancing act that consists of basic necessity, socially accepted behavior, missing keys, matted make up and the attempt to make it out the front door with all necessary clothing. Certainly there is a long list of pros of being a woman; many of which can be used at the drop of a hat when needed, conjured up to perfection when pushed into a corner, and delivered with a powerful punch in moments; however, it is without a doubt a power that comes with great responsibility and even greater challenges.

Early training of these fine female faculties began with the simple understanding that my father could, in fact, be swayed. His firm stance on no pigs in the house was one deserving of debate. Porky was my friend, my pet and most times better behaved than my sibling.

It was during this momentous stand I learned, as so many women do, that a smile combined with just the right head tilt topped with a bright eyed stare could be a most effective negotiation technique. Porky learned to sit and Daddy learned to compromise. I learned “no” means, find another way to present your case.

It is a common misconception that tears are a cure all for our population. Most of us learn that tears can be misinterpreted, misconstrued, and for all practical purposes a waste of good mascara. It is not within a woman’s tears where power is found. It is in adaptability,

women can. Throwing a fit, a plate, a shoe, even a golf club may have its time and place; however, throwing a devil-be-damned stare changes courses of action.

Throwing a plate changes a dinner setting.

Clearly it is socially, even southerly, acceptable for a man to express aggression. Often it is even poetically painted as passion. Women, on the other hand, have a one way ticket to the crazy couch when participating in bouts of aggression or passionate debate. It is a learned behavior to find more suitable methods of persuasion.

A Southern woman can hush a crowd with a cut of her eyes; even disarm an army with a silent glare. Any skeptic is welcomed to join my grandmother during a Sunday worship service; with one look she can quiet even the most mischievous pew of participants. Still doubtful? Find a woman, any woman, and try to take her chocolate. Immediately, you will be reduced to salt and oxygen with the blink of an eye.

In an industry dominated by my male counterparts, I have found my skill set to be as complimentary as it is confusing. Surrounded by testosterone I have learned to adapt, overcome, and even enjoy my female mystique. That which handicaps me in the eyes of many, catapults me in the eyes of those that matter. A woman, who knows her worth, manages her powers, multiplies her reach, changes a man’s mind, and teaches a pig to sit - now that is a successful southern woman.

versatility, and compatibility with a slightly less complex gender. Men see blue; women see white, turquoise, muted navy, and a possible need for pink. Once understood this difference can be maximized for incredible return.

Southern women have a way of mastering the head tilt, the bright eyed stare, and the astonishing ability to create a masterful argument for just about anything.

Examples of this phenomenon are easily found in restaurants, shopping centers, and homes all over our great nation. Although I haven’t served in the halls of congress, I am certain there is an ample amount of bright eyed stares driving legislation. This in no way suggests weakness or naivety instead it channels years and years of proper training to communicate a reservoir of strength and perseverance. Having learned that displays of aggression are appropriate coming only from the male masses, women have risen to the occasion of modification in the graceful way only

November – and all of the things to be thankful for

By Lee Scott

November is my favorite month of the year. Not only do we celebrate Veterans Day but Thanksgiving too. It is also the month I was born so it has particular meaning to me. Each of these three Holidays all seem to stretch out over a week. First of all, Veterans Day is technically on November 11th. Most of the time this date falls on a weekday so many communities move their parades, golf tournaments and other events to the previous weekend or following weekend. That way you have plenty of time to say “Thank you” to a Vet. If you can’t find a Veteran, consider giving to one of the charities that support Vets.

This past Sunday, in my community, we had numerous men and women putting up hundreds of flags along the main

Now what?

begins with a reminder on November 1, to my husband and my children that it is my birth month. I don’t expect expensive gifts, just acknowledgement that they are happy I was born. I used to put a countdown on my refrigerator for my birthday, but my husband says it is no longer needed as it is permanently embedded in his brain. Of course now as I have gotten older, the birthday cards of old ladies in bathing suits remind me how thankful I am for my hysterical friends.

But each of these November holidays are about being thankful. Thankful that we live in the United States, thankful that there are men and women willing to serve in the military, thankful that we have food to eat and family to love and thankful for another year of life.

Then of course there is Thanksgivingtruly a wonderful event where families and friends come together to enjoy a meal. For those people that don’t have a place to go, there are many churches that offer a free Thanksgiving dinner where you can get good food and find

lots of good companionship. This holiday is also stretched over several days because so many people have to travel to get to their turkey dinner. And anyone who has to cook a Thanksgiving dinner knows that the shopping and preparation are also outside of Thanksgiving Day. Last is my birthday which is my own personal day of thanks.

Paper Whites help to brighten short winter days move the pot to a cooler spot out of direct light to extend the life of the flowers.

Keep soil slightly moist. You can also grow your paper white bulbs in pebbles (not recommended for Amaryllis).

Purchase ‘fine’ gravel from your local pet store. Gently add gravel to a shallow, clear dish or wide-mouthed canning jar. Place bulbs, and then add a little more gravel, if needed. Remember to keep at least one-third of each bulb above gravel level.

Add water until it reaches the base of the bulbs. (Always keep water at that level.)

If you have room and patience, this is a great addition to any garden large or small. Asparagus produces eatable stalks in about 3-4 years, but definitely worth the wait! If you already have a patch, wait to cut back fern growth till after frost has turned them yellow and brown.

Happy Gardening!

Walking through my garden this week I noticed my Narcissus coming up! Otherwise known as Paper Whites, these little bulbs grow beautifully indoors to bring a little spring to our short winter days.

November is a good time to ‘force’ bulbs for holiday gifts. Amaryllis and Paper White bulbs are readily available at this time of year (some already potted).

But if you’re a do-it-yourselfer, Southern Living give some easy advice…place

the bulbs in a well-drained decorative container. Start with a small pot. Of course, potting soil is best. Don’t plant too deeply. For Amaryllis, just place in a sunny spot and enjoy. For Paper Whites; after watering, place pot(s) in a cool room around 55 to 60 degrees for 7 to 10 days to stimulate roots. Then move to a warm spot (around 70 degrees) with bright light to encourage foliage and flowers. As leaves emerge, rotate your pot every few days to keep stalks straight (staking the stems helps). As buds swell and open,

From the heart of the Loire Valley to the center of your Thanksgiving table!

By Celia Strong We sort of have a special wine this week. Not expensive special, but just sort of a rarity. And a really good learning experience for us. Because of where it comes from and the grape that makes it.

So, let’s just get to it?

We’ll start with where it comes from.

The Loire Valley in western France.

From a commune, and an appellation, known as Saumur. (so-mer). The history of this town goes back for centuries and has connections to French royal families, the French resistance of World War II and, most importantly, it is the heart of the Loire Valley wine industry. The appellation Saumur covers reds (55%) and white wines (45%). Their white wines are mostly from Chenin Blanc, about 80%, with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc used for the rest. There are over 2,000 acres planted with white varieties and yearly production, of white wines, is just over 500,000 gallons. The vineyards have calcium and limestone soils and the climate is temperate and maritime. There are hills in the area, mostly facing the Loire River, that act as buffers and protect the vines from cold winds that can blow in from off the Atlantic Ocean. We have to remember that centuries ago, the Loire Valley was where Parisians went during the hot months of July and August. Or, at

S e rv i n g

least those who could afford a nice stone chateau along the river. This entire area is full of large and small chateaux. Makes for a different type of skyline, for sure.

Our wine this week is a white Saumur, made from 100% Chenin Blanc. I realize most of us are not big fans of Chenin wines. But, maybe, that’s because we haven’t had the opportunity to try some of the more obscure Loire Valley versions?

Obscure only because they’re not well known, so they’re not easily found. A “Catch 22!” According to ampelographer Pierre Galet, Chenin originated in the Anjou area of the Loire Valley in the 9th century. Its name may be partly from being planted near Mont Chenin near the city of Tours. Recent DNA testing has shown that Chenin and Sauvignon Blanc may be related.

Chenin Blanc vines bud early and the grapes ripen mid to late in their growing season. In warmer vintages, when they reach full ripeness, they can make wines

L o w c o u n t ry

with great complexities and finesse. The age of the vine also has a lot to do with making more complex wines. (Often, in the Loire Valley, full ripeness isn’t easy to achieve, so many less ripe grapes are used to make wonderful sparkling wines.) It is said, by Chenin producers, that the climate where Chenin is grown will determine sweet or dry style of a wine, while the soil determines the body and flavors of a wine.

Heavy clay soils can produce weighty, botritized dessert wines. Well drained and less organic soils produce wines with minerality. Limestone soils produce wines with heavy acidity. In Vouvray, where the soil is calcereous clay, the wines can be weighty and acidic. (Yes, to all of you who have enjoyed Vouvray. It is Chenin Blanc!)

Up and down the Loire River, there are towns, whose names are also their wine appellations that make Chenin wines that are incredible. Loire Valley Chenin wines account for just 1.2% of all French wines.

Important for us, today, are the food pairings that these fuller bodied, dry Chenins can do. They are way more versatile than we would expect. (I sense this is partly a surprise because of our unfamiliarity with these wines. It’s hard to know them when American Chenins are so different.) Care has to be taken, though, to know which style of Chenin you have.

Obviously lighter styles go with lighter

Since

1998

dishes. Sweeter styles go well with hot, spicy foods, especially Asian and Hispanic.

Medium body, medium dry styles can do well with rich cream sauces and pâtés.

Our wine is Lieu-Dit Les Epinats Saumur. Lieu-Dit is a label from a group of about 40 winegrowers. They came together in 1957, all smaller growers, and grouped together. The grapes for this Saumur grow on north-facing hills, with forests nearby that act as wind barriers. The soil is shallow pebbles, flint, some clay and some limestone. After pressing, the grapes are fermented at low temperatures for about two weeks. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks with a thin layer of its lees for three to four months. This wine is pale yellow in color, with green tints. It has a strong bouquet of lemon and lime and it is full bodied in your mouth. And, yes, it is good with all types of foods. Most particularly, it needs to be tried with a turkey dinner! Dry and full and a huge surprise. And a huge treat!

Who’d have thought? For $12.99. A special Thanksgiving dinner white wine.

A limited supply, though. Sorry. Enjoy!

A new way for shelters to get dogs adopted

Louise Anderson Nicolosi talks about the adoption process.

An Always Adopt volunteer pictured with a young pup.

New parents with their adopted puppy.

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

This week I want to share with you a new way that my friend, Louise Anderson Nicolosi is getting more than 300 dogs adopted at a single event that she runs. Aunt Louise, as I call her, lives in Rhode Island and about four years ago she became obsessed with an idea she got while attending a conference hosted by Best Friends, an amazing animal rescue in Utah.

So Louise conscripted two of her good friends who both had marketing and operations backgrounds and off they went to put together a new way to get a lot of great dogs into their furever households in a very short timeframe.

AlwaysAdopt.com was born from a determination to maximize the efforts of local shelters in getting applicants approved and the dogs marketed to the world of possible adopters. The first Super Dog Adoption Day was held at a large horse farm Aunt Louise just stopped in to see if she could find the owner. The wonderful owner gave Louise the farm for a day in May and off we went.

Louise’s vision was to aggregate about 15 shelters to all put their dogs up for adoption at the same time, at the same event, where she would recruit and

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

train the volunteers, handle the site organization, do the marketing and PR, and staff the event. The goal was to get about 60-75 dogs at the event and there would be no crates as each dog would have their own “ambassador” and there would be “a ton” of people who were interested in adopting them. There would be onsite trainers to work with potential adopters and a Vet to make sure all the dogs were in good health.

On that fateful day, as my Mom stood at the top of the driveway wondering if anybody would actually come to this event everyone had worked so hard on?

More than 150 dogs were available for adoption and 1,000 potential adopters came to meet the pups. Twice a year these events happen. And twice a year some lucky dogs get their chance at a safe and happy future.

This past Saturday, the 7th Super Dog

One precious pup waiting to be adopted.

An Always Adopt volunteer with three puppies ready for adoption.

Adoption Day was held at a wonderful facility that is a large nursery until October 31st and then turns into a magic location where 350 dogs came to meet their new families. More than 150 volunteers were there with an equal numbers of helpers from the various rescues who represent the pups. Multiple trainers and Vets were also on hand to make sure everything they could do to get the right dog to the right people happened.

The single biggest change that has taken place over these last couple of years is that there is now a common application that all the rescues have to agree to in order to participate - kind of like what the colleges did a few years back with their “common app”. There were 460 applications for this past event and Louise’s screeners approved 360 of their applications – that’s checking references, personal interviews, and home checks. These lucky people who are approved get to come into the adoption area ahead of the general public so they can wander and meet the dogs that are available before the hordes arrive.

The marketing that gets the attention of all these potential adopters is a combination of three elements: a huge roadside sign announcing the event, local posters throughout the area, and funny

or poignant enhanced commentary from some of the dogs themselves along with their picture on Facebook. I translate what the pups want to say and type it up for Facebook. Some of these guys are really funny. And others have just amazing stories about how they got to their rescues.

Imagine 350 dogs in a room and not a bark from anybody. They know this is their big shot. Some will have four or five applications apiece and it will be up to their rescue to determine which family is the best fit for the dog. Most rescues have about a 10% return rate where a family might find the dog they chose might not get along with their cat or likes to chew designer shoes. At Louise’s events, the return rate is less than 1%, if that.

So the point of all this is to encourage you to share this story with your friends in rescue. We should also all be trying all kinds of ways to get these well deserving dogs into their furever homes. If you could see the faces of these guys when they head home with their new families and know they are safe. It makes all the hard work so worth it. If you would like to learn more about this amazing organization go to www.AlwaysAdopt.com.
