Whale Branch Warriors turn back Barnwell, 21-12 Host Whale Branch held on to notch its seventh straight win last Friday, Nov. 7, defeating visiting Barnwell 21-12 in the opening round of the Class 2-A Division II Playoffs. With the win, Whale Branch improved to 7-4 and advanced in the postseason. The Warriors scored first and never trailed. Whale Branch arrived on the scoreboard in the opening quarter when Stephon Eugene scored on an 11-yard
run. Following a successful point-after kick from Ben Wallace, Whale Branch led 7-0. The Warriors owned the 7-0 lead through halftime. Answering with its first touchdown, Barnwell got on the scoreboard in the third quarter when Shakur Chisolm scored on a 54-yard run. But Barnwell failed to pull even after the Whale Branch defense broke its way through the line and blocked
the PAT attempt. Whale Branch added to its lead later in the third quarter when D.J. David scored on a 10-yard run. Following a successful two-point conversion run from Amagee Stephens, Whale Branch led 14-6. Familiar foes, Barnwell and Whale Branch swapped touchdowns in the final quarter. Chisolm returned to the endzone on a 55-yard run in the fourth period.
Coming up short on special teams for the second straight time, Barnwell’s kick following the second touchdown failed. Whale Branch pushed its lead back out when Eugene scored his second touchdown from two yards out later in the fourth quarter. The Warriors will visit undefeated Timberland for the second round of the Class 2-A Division II Playoffs this Friday, Nov. 14.

Lafayette Street redevelopment takes root The first of six Lafayette Street homes being built in a public-private partnership in downtown Beaufort is expected to be ready by late spring, the developer said. The project is located at the corner of Lafayette Street and Rodgers Avenue in the Pigeon Point neighborhood and is part of a larger effort by Beaufort leaders to create affordable workforce housing. The developers are Brad Bowden and Lance Gooding of Gooding Contractors, Inc. and architect Eric Brown of Brown Design Studio. “We are pleased to announce the construction of six Lowcountry-style cottages in the City of Beaufort,” Brown said. “These cottages and civic investments will be a wonderful addition to the popular Pigeon Point neighborhood.” The cottages will range from two to three bedrooms in the 1,000-1,250
square foot range and are designed in a traditional Lowcountry architecture. All units will have an outdoor space and/or porch and are to be served via a new alley. City leaders, through the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission, in 2012 sought proposals from developers to create affordable and appropriate housing on the then city-owned vacant land. Beaufort’s Civic Master Plan identified this area as having good potential for this type of development. In return, the developers agreed to improve Lafayette Street through planned on-street parking, street lights and a sidewalk while preserving the younger live oak trees along the street. The focal point of the project is the small park on the corner. “It’s exciting that our many months of hard work and deliberations about
this project are coming to fruition,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission. “Not only are we partnering to create more affordable housing and to redevelop one of our older neighborhoods, but we are also putting formerly vacant city-owned land back on the tax rolls.” The new cottages likely will be served by a rear alley to keep cars and trash cans off the street for a better overall appearance. A natural landscape buffer is also maintained in the rear behind the alley for privacy, stormwater management and to save many old growth trees, Brown said. Completion of the first cottages is expected to be completed in late spring 2015 and units are available for both reservations and customization.

LADY’S ISLAND NOTES New Planning Commission Member: Beaufort County Council recently appointed George Johnston as the Lady’s Island representative on the Beaufort County Planning Commission. Mr. Johnston, a resident of the Lowcountry for 17 years, has served as a member of the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Board for three years and as a board member for the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League for six years. In addition, he has been involved in a number of projects established to protect the environment and serves as the monitor for a group of environmentally concerned citizens who participate in an ongoing exchange of ideas and information. He will serve as an active member of the Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee. A New Lady’s Island McDonald’s: Plans have been submitted to
the Beaufort County Planning Department for construction of a new McDonald’s Restaurant on the site of the present Lady’s Island McDonalds. Following demolition of the present building, the new facility will be one story and larger in size. The plans submitted at this point are conceptual. Traffic signals and new businesses on Lady’s Island: As popular as the new Publix on Lady’s Island is, the effect that the new store will have on traffic is a subject of fair concern. The South Carolina Department of Transportation has repaved Ferry Drive and dividers have been installed on Sea Island Parkway and Lady’s Island Drive to deter dangerous cross traffic turns. The original plans included the installation of a traffic signal on Sea Island Parkway at the exit of the Food Lion Parking lot and the intersection with Ferry Road. However, the South Carolina
Department of Transportation denied the request for the traffic signal on the basis that the present traffic did not support installation of a signal at that location at this time. The City of Beaufort and Publix have a Memorandum of Agreement that states that Publix will conduct another traffic study 18 months after the store opens. If the study indicates a signal is warranted and DOT approves it, Publix will install the signal. If the study indicates the light is still not needed and DOT does not approve the signal, the city will withdraw its requirement for installation of a signal at Ferry Drive and Sea Island Parkway. Although a traffic signal at this location would allow vehicles from St. Helena, Dataw, Harbor and Fripp islands to enter the new Publix from the rear, it would have routed traffic through a residential neighborhood.

What am I pretending not to know? By Martha O’Regan
This question rose up in me several months ago and I jotted it down like I do when something comes to mind that doesn’t feel like my own — something that is deep but feels really important to ponder. Frankly, I didn’t really like this question so I turned the page quickly only to stumble on it several times since then ... again, just moving right along. But each time the question was repeated in my mind, the more I became aware of how much I was choosing not to know, see or hear in several areas of my life. It made me realize that although there are many things we truly don’t know because we’ve never learned it, there are many things we don’t want to know because it would mean changing something in our lives that could be uncomfortable, boring or just simply unpleasant. As an example, I have used a non-dairy creamer in my coffee for a very long time, refusing to read the ingredients like I do most everything else I put in my body (you did catch the “most” part?) I didn’t want it to change my morning ritual so I consciously ignored the obvious every time I made my coffee. Then I
“accidentally” clicked on an article while on Facebook that went on to describe all of the poisons in nondairy creamers and what they do to the body. Darn it! Now I Martha O’Regan can no longer pretend not to know! So, off I went in search of an alternative with fewer evils. I must say, I am grateful the article appeared before me because I do feel better without all that extra poison. Why was I pretending not to know something that was actually harmful? We humans are so quirky, aren’t we? We know what we know and keep doing what we do, even it isn’t serving our highest good. Up to now, these habits, patterns and behaviors have all been created through unconscious repetition of thought and/or action over days, weeks, years or decades, both by us and around us. All repetition creates a neural pathway or a messaging signal from the brain that over time becomes our personal reality, also known as our
Awakenings
Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328
personality. This embedded behavior or habit can be either healthful or harmful. Once we stop pretending not to know the ones that aren’t supporting our health, happiness and success, we can begin to un- or re- create patterns through conscious repetition of empowering thoughts or supporting action. It really is quite simple — just not so easy — right up until it is. This is the magical moment that “shift” happens and you’re off on a new direction with a new personal reality. So, what are you pretending not to know? What are you choosing to do that deep down you just know is keeping you from a more abundant and vital existence? At first, the question can be a real nuisance, so feel free to ask it to
return when you are more prepared to contemplate it. Each time it gently rises from deep within or brightly appears like a neon sign, just allow the question to dance around in your mind. Over time, you can’t help but begin to pay attention to the nudgings, ah ha’s and wow moments that show up in your thoughts, conversations and experiences slowly aligning you on a more healthful and joyful path. You’ll notice that with repetition, you can no longer pretend to stay unaware of that limiting behavior, and instead begin repeating a new mantra, exercise or nutritional habit. At first, it will feel as though you are trying to turn an aircraft carrier from a dead stop, but eventually momentum picks up and you will notice you’ve made a 180 degree turn and are back in the steady flow of your intended joyful journey. Live Awake in JOY! Martha O’Regan, is Your ‘B.E.S.T. Life’ Coach, supporting you in Creating and Allowing the B.E.S.T. Life of your Dreams!

Mini-Implants: More smiles for more people One of the happiest developments at the practice of Durham Dental is seeing so many people get more effective, more comfortable results today than they might have had with dentures or bridges. Mini-implants can present a great new smile and bring a return to favorite foods, even for people who might not qualify for conventional dental implants. Folks who have inadequate bone which might not support a conventional implant, and many people whose age or overall health might have disqualified them from implants until now, can look forward to fine results from miniimplants. Because the procedure is less invasive, the risks of complication are greatly reduced, too. A matter of hours Mini-implants enable even a wide span
of tooth replacement to be anchored at a number of small points, avoiding the major bone and gum preparation of conventional implants. So placing Dr. Stephen Durham the implants takes less than a day. And with this less invasive approach comes dramatically less recovery time. Most folks are eating within a couple of hours after treatment is completed. More people qualify physically — and financially The natural feel, appearance and performance of dental implants is accessible to many more people than conventional implants from a financial
perspective, too. Mini-implants are much less costly. Cost of treatment typically is 25% to 50% less than the cost of conventional dental implants, averaging about onethird less. This opens the way to the natural feel, look and high performance of dental implants to people who might not have considered it before now. The practitioner makes the difference Because of all the advantages of miniimplant treatment, dentists across the country have been pretty quick to bring the procedure into their practices. The key to a good result, though, is still the quality of care you get from the dentist you choose. It’s a good idea to ask about education, certification and experience. Sitting down for an informal, pressurefree chat is the best way to start.
Seeing the happiness of people who discover they don’t have to put up with chewing differently, talking carefully, avoiding favorite foods — that is almost as rewarding to us, and to the loved ones in their lives, as it is to our patients themselves. A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), Dr. Stephen Durham is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. He is a past recipient of the LVI Fellowship Award for Neuromuscular and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Durham practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort.

CELADON GETS NEW OWNER By Jim Hicks, LIBPA
The Celadon development on Sams Point Road was one of the victims of the economic downturn and housing crash and ended up as the property of a bank following foreclosure. Recently a partnership managed by Blue Sky, a real estate firm that invests in developed and partially developed distressed residential properties, purchased Celadon. The company uses its 50 years of development, marketing and sales expertise to acquire assets and reposition them into today’s market. It has reviewed the basic regulating plan for Celadon and requested the Beaufort County Planning Department authorize changing some of the rowhouses and courtyard apartment houses in the original basic plan to villa apartments. These changes were requested to provide increased flexibility in the regulating plan by allowing more traditional neighborhood homes, which are deemed by Blue Sky to be more sellable in today’s market. Blue Sky is familiar with the Beaufort County market. Blue Sky’s vision for Celadon is a neighborhood that prioritizes wellness and an active community lifestyle. The Celadon Activity Center and Spa will officially reopen the beginning of 2015. More information about the activity center and real estate will be available soon at www. CeladonLiving.com.
STEPHEN W. DURHAM, DMD
I became a patient of
Dr. Stephen
Durham after hearing of his many successes in treating people with TMJ. A treatment plan was designed specifically for me using the latest and most advanced technology available. I now have an improved bite, a great smile and secure, stronger teeth. The fact that I was able to nap through most of the procedures was a miracle for this “denta-phobe”! I highly recommend Durham Dental!

Coosa Elementary event honors local military, veterans Thursday evening, November 6, Coosa Elementary School held its first Leadership Night. This event honored local active duty military personnel and veterans and highlighted Coosa’s “The Leader in Me” program. The ceremony began with music provided by the Parris Island Marine Corps Band, directed by Gunnery Sergeant Deborah Hamner, as a musical salute to all military personnel in attendance. In addition, the Coosa Chorale and the Coosa Orff Corps under the direction of Music Teacher, Anna Wheeler, performed patriotic selections. Rep. Shannon Erickson dedicated a
South Carolina state flag, previously flown above the South Carolina State Capitol building, to Coosa Elementary faculty who had previously served in the military. In addition to the recognition of veterans, select Coosa students from third and fifth grade performed a variety of skits to demonstrate and explain the seven habits integrated in the Coosa curriculum. The night concluded with student-led tours throughout the school. Students showcased their leadership skills by guiding those in attendance to various locations within the school and discussing notable academic achievements as a result of their “The Leader in Me” experience.

Student readings by Talor Maddox and Jacob Denton brought to mind the importance of Veterans Day
and what it means to them. The ceremony also had Retired Col. Robert White USAF as a guest speaker. He talked to the students about the importance of remembering Veterans Day and perseverance. A real treat for the day was to have the Parris Island Marine Corps Band perform. The band played the National Anthem and each of the service songs during the ceremony which
allowed those who had served in each appropriate service to stand and be recognized. Lady’s Island Middle School would like to thank the following business for sponsoring this year’s Veterans Day Recognition ceremony: Buffalo Wild Wings; Bi-Lo Grocery Stores; Bud’s and Blooms Nursery.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Businesses, students make connections at Career Expo More than 250 high school juniors and seniors from across the district attended a career expo last Friday at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. The Beaufort County School District, in partnership with TCL, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and business partners, sponsored the expo to showcase higher education, specialized skills training and employment pathways in technical careers. Students visited booths staffed by business representatives from companies such as Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Hargray
Communications, Lockheed Martin and Marriott Vacations. Thousands of local high school students are enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CATE) courses, and the expo gave those students a chance to explore real-world opportunities related to their coursework. “We’re making great strides in developing our CATE programs,” said Karen Gilbert, who directs career and technology education for the school district. “Right now we’re working on increasing our course and program
offerings and also obtaining industry credentialing for students to earn while they’re still in high school.” Also on the program were guest speakers who spoke to students about “soft skills,” educational opportunities and identifying paths to successful careers. Among the presenters was Stephen Murray, owner of Kazoobie Kazoos, who shared his personal story of establishing a manufacturing business in Beaufort. Superintendent Jeff Moss and TCL President Richard Gough attended the
expo, and both emphasized the value of career and technical education. “Our students are starting to see that some very promising career opportunities are right here at home,” Moss said. “And they’re excited to have the chance to get a head start on preparing for those careers while they’re still in high school. These efforts present a win-win situation for our students and our community.” The school district plans to hold the expo annually. To participate, contact Karen Gilbert at 843-322-5921.

Battery Creek High School held Operation Christmas Child on Thursday, November 6. Students, parents, and faculty and staff members filled 94 boxes. More boxes are partially completed and will be filled prior to delivery to the collection center on November 19. Included in every box was a postcard with a photo of BCHS and the Beaufort waterfront. These postcards were created by the BCHS FBLA Club under the direction of advisor Desiree Mungin. The BCHS SADD Club purchased the boxes for filling and many of the items were donated by the BCHS SADD Club and their parents. SADD Club advisor Diane Grooms is extremely grateful for the support of the BCHS administration, faculty and staff for their donations and support on this project. Beaufort Academy students in grades 1-3 visited Bee City Farm and Nature Center. The students participated in an educational component where they learned about the life cycle, habitat, and characteristics of honey bees. The nature center is also one of the most fantastic reptile centers in the state. It is full of South Carolina native snakes, turtles, frogs, fish, baby alligators, and more. There was a curator who answered questions about the reptiles, and some students were able to touch and hold a tarantula, scorpion, baby alligator and snake. The students were also able to hand-feed monkeys, ringtail lemurs, llamas, alpacas, deer, goats, and sheep, and walk through the center’s aviary. The field trip also included hands-on activities.

Beaufort High Cheer Team wins Lower State 3A After winning the Lower State 3A Competitive Cheer last Monday, the Beaufort High Cheer Team will compete for a state championship Nov. 15 in Greenville. It is the first time since 2001 that Beaufort High’s Competitive Cheer Team has reached the finals, and excitement runs high — even for cheerleaders. “To win Lower State is amazing for us, to see how our squad just really pulled together and executed everything with smiles and then tears after they finished,” said BHS Cheer Coach Corrie Zimmerman. “I’m very proud of what we have accomplished this season, and we are working hard to do well at the State Competitive Cheer Finals.” At a typical cheerleading competition, teams perform a two-and-half-minute routine with music that includes stunts, jumps, tumbling, cheers and dance. Teams are judged by a panel of cheerleading experts on difficulty and execution. In Monday’s Lower State Finals,
Fickes helps lead Clemson TO TITLE Clemson was declared the champion of the Hummingbird Invitational on Saturday, Nov. 1 when it was determined the final round could not be played due to inclement weather. On Friday, Oct. 31, Stephen Behr and Beaufort High School graduate Josh Fickes both had rounds of two under par 69 to lead Clemson to a 278 team score, one shot better than Furman. All five Clemson golfers scored under par and finished in the top 10 on the 6,767-yard course. Fickes had his best round of the year by four shots as he had five birdies over 18 holes. Miller Capps, Cody Proveaux and Billy Kennerly all had rounds of oneunder-par 70. Capps had five birdies, while Kennerly had four. Proveaux, who had his ninth under-par round of the year, had just two birdies, but had the only eagle of the day by a Clemson golfer.
The Beaufort Cheer Team poses in October after winning first place in the Patriot Classic Competition.
Beaufort outdistanced the secondplace finisher by 20 points. In the State 3A finals, they will compete against 15 similar-sized schools from across South Carolina, including perennial powerhouse Chapin High School. The finals will be held Saturday, Nov.
15, at Bon Secours Arena in Greenville. “Competitive cheer is a huge leap from what most people think of when they think of cheerleading,” Zimmerman said. “Our team has a great time cheering for Beaufort High’s sports teams, but the competitions are our chance to put
it all together in a showcase of stunts, tumbling and dance. We’ve had a great season and our seniors have really stepped up with their leadership.” She pointed to the team’s strong foundation skills that came from former Cheer Coach Kathy Ingram’s steadfast desire for perfection. “Kathy has helped us with the finer points of competitive cheer — she knows so much about what makes a routine work and what the judges really want to see.” The Beaufort High Cheer Team won first place at the Patriot Lowcountry Classic competition last month at Fort Dorchester High School. “Our cheerleaders, the young women and our two young men, work so hard not only in practice but also with their tumbling and their dance,” Zimmerman said. “Some of them go to tumbling practice in Bluffton on weeknights or Saturdays, and several of our cheerleaders are in the advanced dance classes at Beaufort High. It’s an allaround effort.”

to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it.

An Enchanted Evening of Sinatra Standards
Has there ever been a performer that could match Frank Sinatra’s velvety voice and charisma? Whether on stage or screen, or hanging out in Vegas with the rest of the “Rat Pack”, Ol’ Blue Eyes embodied cool. There wasn’t a dame or a daddy-o who didn’t fall under his spell, and that magic is still obvious today as the current generation seems to yearn for the glamour and sophistication of midcentury America, where a man and a microphone promised to “love you, like nobody’s loved you ...” If you, too, long for an evening of sophisticated entertainment, check out Trae Gurley’s show of Sinatra standards at ARTworks on Friday night. This Savannah-based performer has a long-standing gig at Jazz’d and other downtown clubs, and has played the Lucas Theatre’s Cabaret Series several times. If there is performer “royalty” in the Lowcountry, Trae Gurley is it. However, he is very humble and down-to-earth about his career and how he got his start.
and musician Bobby McFerrin (“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”). Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902. Contact the box office at 843-5214145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.
A Christmas Carol is coming Ebenezer Scrooge (Alan Lathan) suffers the torments of (from top) the ghosts of Christmas Past (Henry Dreier), Present (Matthew Osbourne), and Future (Christian Osbourne) and his chain-bound partner, Jacob Marley, in Misspent Youth’s production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Adapted and directed by Travis Marshall Hornsby, the play runs at ARTworks November 28-30 and December 4-6. For tickets, call 843-379-2787 or visit www. beaufortcountyarts. com. Photo by Heather Szeder.
Describing himself as “one of Sinatra’s biggest fans”, he has studied the life, sound, and even movements of the crooner in order to better honor his memory. Some of those stories about Sinatra’s life will also find their way into his performance at ARTworks, as he interacts with both the audience and his pianist, Kim Steiner, a member of the Performance Arts Department at SCAD and a former Broadway music director. The small size of the ARTworks theatre, lends its self to a cabaret style show, and Gurley promises to deliver an intimate performance that includes sentimental favorites like “Night And Day”, “One For My Baby”, and “Autumn Leaves.” The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14th at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in Beaufort Town Center. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased on the ARTworks website: www,beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling 843-379-2787.
SC Arts Commission presents workshops for Gullah artists The South Carolina Arts Commission, in partnership with the Beaufort County Library, will present the second of three professional development workshops called “Promoting your Gullah Geechee Art Form,” from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the St. Helena Island Library Branch, 6355 Jonathan Francis Senior Road, St. Helena Island. This workshop is free but space is limited to the first 30 registrants. To register, artists should call 803-734-8693 or email sduplessis@arts.sc.gov and provide name, number and email. The goal of the series of workshops is to give artists the tools to create basic support materials necessary for promotion of their art work through a variety of mediums. “It is especially designed for Gullah Geechee residents who practice or represent one or more of the cultural expressions outlined in the Gullah Geechee Corridor’s management plan,” said Ken May, South Carolina Arts Commission executive director. Those areas include 12
the island news | november 13-19, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com
music, arts, handicrafts, foodways, spirituality, language, education and economic development. The development of these workshops began after a series of community arts meetings in 2013, where the Arts Commission, in partnership with the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, heard from more than 80 artists and community residents in the corridor. “Our ongoing goal is to make new relationships that bring new resources to people and create interest in the corridor — both in the state and beyond,” May said. “We are also pleased to present these workshops in partnership with local libraries, which serve as essential community resources.” The workshops will be led by Charleston native Kerri Forrest, awardwinning journalist and owner of Social Creative Media Consulting. For additional information, contact Arts Participation Program Director Susan DuPlessis, sduplessis@arts. sc.gov or 803-734-8693.

‘The Giving’ returns to Beaufort County The Giving, a community-wide, multi-church effort to provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need, returns for its sixth year to Beaufort County. The event will be held Sunday, November 23, at the Wardle Family YMCA, located at 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal. Donations of Thanksgiving meals will be taken beginning at 5:30 p.m., with a community worship service at 6 p.m. Monetary donations will also be accepted. Distribution of Thanksgiving meals will take place Monday, November 24, at the YMCA. Volunteers are being solicited for collection, inventory
and distribution. Those interested should contact Heather Prince Doss at heather@sipcnet.org or 843525-0696. Families benefitting from this effort are referred by charitable agencies and participating churches, and the number in need increases every year. In 2013, approximately 820 families were provided Thanksgiving meals. In 2014, organizers hope to feed more than 600 families once again. Pastor Mike Green of The Link Church of Beaufort stated, “This is a way we can join hands with fellow
churches and organizations in our community and serve our neighbors together.” Suggested donations are frozen turkeys, potatoes, canned yams, green beans, cranberry sauce, and rolls. Participating organizations include: Decibel Church, Love House Ministries, Port Royal Baptist Church, Praise Assembly of God, Sea Island Presbyterian Church, Seaside Vineyard, Spoken Word Outreach Ministries, St. John’s Lutheran Church, The Link Church, Tidal Creek Fellowship, and the United Church of Jesus Christ for all People.
FWDG holds annual coat drive with a new twist For more than 24 years, FWDG has been sponsoring a coat drive to help those less fortunate in the community. “Robyn and I are always amazed at the outpouring of support from the local communities. Collecting outerwear for the FWDG Coat Drive has become a way of life for many people of the Lowcountry, said Larry Mark, owner. “My favorite quote from a donor goes back many years: ‘I love donating my coat because it makes me feel better when I buy a new one!’ This year with the Stitches of Love group participating I think the Coat Drive will be even more rewarding.”
The idea for the first FWDG coat drive came about when owners Robyn and Larry wanted to find a way to contribute to the local community. They wanted something that would be sustained for a long period of time. The coat drive has been a resounding success. Schools, churches and other organizations have also participated in the drive. When it first started in 1990, FWDG collected over 300 coats. In recent years, it has averaged over 1,500 coats, even reaching 3,000 at one point. This year, a new twist has been added to the coat drive: an organization named Stitches of Love has contacted FWDG and wishes to create some caps to keep
children’s heads warm during the winter months. The FWDG Coat Drive is one of the select few projects of the group that will be focused on one geographical area, Beaufort County. The goal is to create 200 hats during the Coat Drive to be distributed. The coat drive started on November 1 and ends on December 31. Each year, FWDG has requests from numerous businesses wishing to be a drop-off point, both in Northern and Southern Beaufort County. This year, FWDG at 745 Robert Smalls Parkway, Carolina Stamper at 203 Carteret Street, and Coldwell Banker Platinum Partners, 1211 Boundary St., will be

raising the bar
jean and harvey mccormick know about the law, and love By Pamela Brownstein
On a beautiful Beaufort evening in early October, a crowd of family and friends gathered on Lady’s Island at the lovely home of Jean and Harvey McCormick. A live band played on the deck as guests danced and laughed, enjoying the company and the slight breeze off the waterway beyond. When the band paused between songs, Harvey got on the microphone and gave a toast to his wife, Jean, of 25 years in celebration of her 50th birthday. He told a sweet story about her and how much she means to him, and even got a little choked up, before he led the guests in singing “Happy Birthday.” Then he joined the band on the drums during their rocking rendition of “Mustang Sally.” Harvey said, “We met 26 years ago in Charleston one night that I was out with her brother. Have been inseparable since. I fell in love with her because she makes me laugh, among other things.” “I met my husband the summer after my first year of law school when I went home to the Isle of Palms. My brother introduced us and we discovered that during college our fathers lived on the same hall at Clemson and worked as nuclear engineers in the same division at The Charleston Naval Shipyard,” Jean said. “That night Harvey told my brother he was going to marry me. Six months later we were engaged and six months later we were married.” She said one of the things she loves best about Harvey is his zest for life. It doesn’t take long to be in the presence of this couple to feel the genuine love and respect that they have for each other. They are friendly and warm and good-natured — traits perhaps that don’t always come to mind when describing members of the legal profession. But Jean is an attorney with the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office and Harvey is the sole practitioner at McCormick Law Firm. The two were born and raised in Charleston and both said they knew from an early age that they wanted to be lawyers and to try to help people. Harvey attended the College of Charleston for his undergraduate, with a double major in Business and Economics, while Jean attended Winthrop College and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Government and Public Service. They both graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law, and came to Beaufort shortly after.
Jean, describing her job. “I prosecute cases by trial or plea, handle appeals and juvenile matters.” “I work with very dedicated people who have an extremely difficult and stressful job,” she said. Although practicing law can be hectic and involve long hours — especially while raising three boys ages 22, 18 and 13 — the McCormicks believe the rewarding aspects of their jobs make all the hard work worth it. Harvey said it’s important “really just helping people who are unable to help themselves.” Jean said the most rewarding aspect of her job is “the opportunity to make a decision that has the potential to change the course of one’s life.” She has received numerous honors throughout her career, and was recognized as one the Top Lawyers of the Lowcountry in 2013.

‘You don’t know me’ By Lee Scott
“Nancy Pong, you don’t know me!” This was a line from a Jennifer Lopez movie, “The Wedding Planner.” The scene goes something like this: After having a few drinks too many, Mary, Jennifer Lopez’s character, realizes that she can’t find her keys and starts to buzz her neighbor’s buzzers to let her into the building. As she presses the button for Nancy Pong’s apartment, Mary admits to herself that Nancy doesn’t know her because she, Mary, is too busy to make friends with neighbors. How many of us can relate? What stops us from introducing ourselves and greeting a neighbor? Mary’s excuse in the movie was because she was too busy. When I moved onto my street, I was amazed at the number of friendly
Now what?

people who stopped and said hello. They dropped off cookies and flowers and made us feel welcomed. How nice to have neighbors who actually talk to you. What a great introduction to the South. The practice doesn’t have to end with the neighbors on your street or in your building. You can extend it to others. I have started to talk to people in coffee shops and nurseries and other locations only to find that they know
someone from my hometown or go to my church or live in my community. Just a simple “Hi, I am new to the area” has sparked stories of when people moved here and their experiences. It was amazing the number of people who then also recommended their church or service providers or other helpful tips. It made me realize too that I had not been saying “hi” to people in my old hometown. I was not one of those
residents who made small talk at the coffee shop. I was too busy, like Mary, to get to work. Too busy to make eye contact for fear someone would actually want to talk to me! It is no wonder that many Northerners are considered standoffish. I don’t know if it is the warmth of the days that makes a difference in the South or just a calmer way of life, but I know that people seem friendlier here and because of it, I am friendlier. When I am shopping downtown and a tourist asks me a question, I make sure I take the extra moments to answer the questions and welcome them. Maybe it is one of the reasons people like to come back here to either visit or live — someone has stopped, looked into their eyes, and made contact with them, unlike Mary and Nancy Pong.
compassionate beaufort communities
Compassion and charity know no bounds By Noel Tillman
Charity and caring for one another do not stop because of religious, ethnic, gender or political differences. In Beaufort, Our Lady’s Pantry goes beyond offering immediate subsistence with health advice, food distribution, diet recommendations, and prayerful intervention or assisting with medical insurance, job searches and food stamps. Our Lady’s Pantry is located at 70 Carolyn Drive, near the Beaufort High football stadium on Lady’s Island and it is one group that is ensuring its work takes the steps needed to help the community. The pantry is sponsored and supported by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charleston. The diocesan office is located in Columbia, SC, and has established goals that meet the diverse needs of many across the state. More than 50 volunteers make it happen at Our Lady’s Pantry, and together they serve the poor five days a week, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Students from the surrounding middle and high schools often come in after school and over the holidays to assist the volunteers who travel from as far as Hilton Head, Yemassee, and Okatie. The only paid staff person is Pam Rice, the Regional Coordinator of the Lowcountry for Catholic Charities, and her day begins before the volunteers arrive and long after they leave. Pam shared, “This program is truly
ecumenical, and the helpers and recipients do not need to be members of the local parish, St. Peter’s. The volunteers, like those receiving assistance, are from different ethnic backgrounds and genders, and age groups range from 12 through 70.” The criteria to receive assistance is prescribed by the Lowcountry Food Bank and stipulated by the federal government guidelines. It is based on the number in the family, the inclusive income and the food stamp benefits of everyone in the household. When patrons register, they must bring an up-to-date picture ID (i.e. SC driver’s license), a recent local utility bill confirming their identity as the head of household and the living address of the applicant’s ID. The patrons can return once every 30 days with their picture ID in hand. Items distributed come from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Lowcountry Food Bank, individual and church donations, and Second Helpings, which picks up and distributes surplus food from local supermarkets and restaurants. Last year, the diocese provided the money to purchase 378,921 pounds of meat, produce, and non-perishable foods, while Second Helpings enhanced the pantry’s food allotment to the clients by 155,427 pounds. The pantry’s recipients’ monthly pick up of food is allotted based on family members

living at home. A single person would receive about 20-30 pounds of food, and a larger family might receive at least twice that amount. The grocery cart includes meat, veggies, fruit, bread, canned and non-perishables to feed that household for about 3 to 4 days. The financial value of the items is estimated to be between $35 to $100. Bagged items vary each month depending upon what foods are available. Our Lady’s Pantry stands out among the many groups in the Beaufort area involved in food redistribution because it offers preventative nutritional and diet awareness information to clients. A person who is having weight and related health issues should not stock up on processed food items, sugar, and/or carb laden foods. Each person receives a physician prepared health handout that addresses specific health issue(s) that define the disorder, the symptoms, risk factors, treatment to get better, and specific foods to eat or not eat. Handouts address diabetes, high cholesterol, acid reflux, high blood pressure, pregnancy, and others problems. During intake interviews, community members register for assistance, share their diagnosed illness(es), and a medical information handout is reviewed to ensure they understand how eating habits might exacerbate health issues, and what foods would improve their health. Routine exercise is also pushed as part of the action plan. A special high weight-
range medical scale was donated to the pantry by United Health Care to assist with screening information to encourage the client’s holistic monthly review toward wellness. All this health information encourages clients to “Eat Well to Be Well”. Pam Rice shares numerous stories about improved conditions because of these interventions. One man came into the pantry with acute gout in his hands and feet and was counseled and given the appropriate handout. He returned to the pantry opening and closing his fist with great speed and ease and said, “Do you know how long it has been since I could do this?” Another with migraine headaches could only get relief by getting a shot. She was given the appropriate handout and returned saying, “They’re gone! They’re gone! My migraine headaches are gone!” Others have lost 20 plus pounds over 2-3 months and expressed their appreciation because someone cared. Pam says she also cares for the spiritual needs as well, and prays for and with clients before a surgery or upon the death of a loved one. All these stories help to emphasize why compassion and caring knows no bounds. Wellness works at Our Lady’s Food Pantry. Compassionate Beaufort Communities (CBC-SC.org) collects and shares stories of kindness by the many non-profit, charities, churches, and individuals that make a difference in our Beaufort area.

wine
last chance whites By Celia Strong
As Thanksgiving Day rapidly approaches, I’m sure there are knots in many stomachs — just looking at mile long lists of what still has to get done before “THE” day can lead some to think it’s too close. There is no way to avoid its coming. The only options at this point are to dig in and do what has to be done, or change your plans. All of a sudden the invitation to go to your old aunt’s house is looking better. Or, my favorite, making a reservation at a restaurant, giving up all the cooking and cleaning. (But then there are no leftovers, so maybe not a great option.) Whatever you end up doing, make sure you have plenty of wine. It helps while you’re cooking, eating, cleaning up, waiting to leave to go home (or the opposite, waiting for everyone to leave your house so you can relax). You know you need it. This week we’ll review a list of whites, and we’ll come up with reds for next week. Then all you have to do is count how many bottles you need and get them home. Here are some recommended white wines for Thanksgiving, in alphabetical order, so choose the favorites that will best compliment your meal.
Borsao White ($7.99). A Spanish white that is medium bodied and neutral enough in its flavors to pair well with all the flavors and textures that are a part of this meal. We all tend to eat

meat” thing. This Côtes de Provence wine is excellent with ham, but why save it just for that? Turkey, duck and pheasant all will go well with it also. It has mild strawberry and red currant flavors, great dryness and acidity, smooth textures and beautiful, beautiful rosé color. A holiday in a glass if I ever saw one.
too much — not because we’re gluttons, but because there are just too many choices, too many good foods. This wine is made from a grape called Macabeo. Just try and tell me saying that several times won’t be fun during your holiday dinner. Or try “Viura,” another name for the same variety. The vines are 25 to 30 years old; the wines are medium bodied, smooth yet dry, minerally with stone fruit flavors. Perfect. Ferrari Carano Bella Luce ($13.99) A California blend of 11 varieties — some we’ve heard of and drunk often, some we’ve never heard of and have no way of knowing if we have or haven’t ever drunk t h e m . Together, though, they make a lovely w i n e . A very unique w i n e , probably why I like it so much. Also, this is one of the far better pairings for a turkey dinner. Clean, crisp, fruity and refreshing. This wine can be drunk very cold, if that’s how you like it, with turkey, white and dark meat, ham, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole. Hecht & Bannier Côtes de Provence R o s é ($19.99) For sure we have to include a wine for ham. It’s that old “pink wine for pink
“A Health Savings Account could be a very good idea for you”
Marc Roman Terret ($6.99) A “more than its price leads you to expect” wine. It doesn’t happen often, but once in a while a wine comes in at an unexpectedly good price. And we all ask “Why?” Well, who cares! It’s a great wine for the price and our job is to know when to use it. Like when you have a crowd of people, some who know nicer wines than others. But you can’t buy separate bottles for everyone and that’s when the Marc Romans come out. Terret is a dry white variety with less puckery acidity than Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, and less weight and oakiness than Chardonnays. Add in their red wine (Malbec) and their Rosé (Syrah) and you’ve got the whole day covered. And your budget safe. Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc ($14.99) One of my favorites, all year long. This is by far one of the best food wines. Ever. Which shows you what can be the problem with reviewing wines for special occasions — I like them all anyhow. And the few that make the “Last Chance” list are always really good ones. Pinot Blanc is related to Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris/Grigio. More green-colored skin. A pretty full-bodied white, without oak, that
for a long time was thought to be related to C h a rd o n n ay. And it fills in nicely for a C h a rd o n n ay. For a turkey dinner, or ham, or duck, or whatever, an Alsatian Pinot Blanc, like this one, is a great choice. More neutral than a Chardonnay, so it blends with the foods’ multiple flavors better. Stags Leap Wine Cellars Sauvignon Blanc ($19.99) A Napa County wine, with all the history and prestige to go with it. A stellar winery, known possibly more for t h e i r reds than whites, but when you’re g o o d , y o u ’r e good. A full-bodied w h i t e with ripe pear, melon, herb flavors and hints of baking spice and vanilla from some oak aging. Made to really go with a big meal. Which is, I think, what we’re talking about? It’s really difficult to come down to a final choice for the right holiday wine. I suppose budget is part of what each of us will drink. How well what we like to drink is shared with our family and friends at the table. A lot of thought is involved. And, we still have red wines to consider. Here’s my proposal: This week think over your whites. Choose two or three to taste one last time, if you can’t narrow it down to one final winner. Write down your choice when you make it, and put it in a safe place. Next week, do the same with reds. That way you will have decisions made days ahead of time, and that means you can relax and have a nice holiday. Enjoy. All these wines can be found at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

What’s with the hot spots? By Tracie Korol
My neighbor dog, Miss S, currently has two hot spots. She was clear on Monday; by Wednesday afternoon she had a weeping, oozing wound on her right front leg and another on her flank. Her gooey messes might be pyotraumatic dermatitis, wet eczema or Staphyloccocus intermedius, but they are what we generally group under the heading of “hot spots”. They are warm and swollen to the touch, certainly painful and often smell dreadful. They can be triggered by bacteria, yeast, fungi, fleas, lawn-care products, irritating grooming products, anxiety, stress, boredom or as a reaction to having been recently vaccinated. In many dogs hot spots mark the return of autumn. Most vets will treat hot spots by shaving the area, washing with disinfectant soap or rinsing with a liquid antiseptic. They will often use astringents, hydrocortisone sprays, antibiotics and steroid injections or pills. If the dog can’t leave the spot alone, she may be sentenced to the Cone of Shame, E-collar (the lampshade device) that prevents her from getting at the wound. Any dog can get a hot spot, but our pets are especially prone given our humid climate. Because hot spots tend to recur, holistic practitioners tend to look beyond the obvious symptoms to the underlying causes. Richard Pitcairn, DVM, PhD, my mentor and author of

one of my favorite reference guides with the longest, most unmemorable title (“Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats”) maintains all skin problems stem from the same health problem. He maintains that skin disorders stem from: toxicity from poorquality food, environmental pollutants or topically applied chemicals; routine unnecessary yearly vaccinations that induce immune disorders in susceptible animals; suppressed disease (conditions that have never been cured that reappear as periodic skin discharge); or psychological factors such as stress, boredom, frustration, irritability. Miss S is morbidly obese, eats garbage kibble and is confined on the back porch 16 hours a day. I’d wager her hot spots are a trifecta of causality. What’s the cure? Dr. Pitcairn says it’s all in the diet. I believe him. He recommends a short fast followed by an improved diet, absent any processed grains, soy, chemical preservatives, artificial colors, flavors or synthetic vitamins.

The short fast (a couple of days, fresh clean water always available) will encourage the body to burn up fat deposits where it holds impurities. By the time your dog returns to a clean diet, her body will have already started the healing process. But what do you do in the meantime when your dog has a great, nasty owwy? Despite a stellar diet, my Bea would routinely sprout a hot spot on her left hip every autumn. Before she could worry it into a full-scale drama, I would shave the area, wash it gently with an anti-bacterial soap, and apply tea tree oil diluted w/a neutral carrier oil. Often by the next day her little wound would be scabbed over leaving her to sport a fur excavation site for the next three months. Tea tree oil worked for The Bea. As it
is a bitter, smelly oil her only reward for worrying the site was the slobbery “get this off my tongue” reaction we’ve all seen. Tea tree is a powerful essential oil, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and used by Australian WWII troops to fend off trench foot in the South Pacific Theater. It’s also known as melaleuca oil of MLM notoriety. Herbal treatments such as powdered goldenseal, comfrey tea or chamomile compresses will soothe and dry the wounds. A couple of plain old black tea bags soaked in hot water, squeezed almost dry and left to cool can be applied directly to the hot spot for as long as your dog will allow. The tannins in the tea will help dry out the wound plus the cooling compress AND your personal attention will be soothing. Holistic philosophy says that organisms function as complete units that cannot be reduced to a sum of its parts. If your dog gets a hot spot, certainly treat the “part”, but then look beyond the immediate emergency to find the source of the problem. With hot spots, as with other health issues, if the complete unit is healthy it follows that the parts will be healthy, too.
