Usher in the holidays with the Festival of Trees

WHAT’S INSIDE?

jubilee celebration Thousands of volunteer hours, starting more than 10 months ago, have produced the 25th annual Festival of Trees, to be held next week at the Charles Lind Brown Activity Center, 1001 Hamar St. Scores of volunteers have solicited tree sponsors, made gourmet treats and donated gifts, trimmed trees and performed hundreds of tasks to ensure the success of this glittering

event. Trees are decorated in a myriad of styles, ranging from whimsical to traditional, scent-sational to patriotic.

The Festival’s Opening Night Gala is Monday, Dec. 3 from 6 – 9 p.m.

The kick-off event is the Jingle Jog (5K run, 1 Mile walk/run) Saturday, Dec. 1, at 8:30 a.m. at the Port Royal Farmers Market.

For more information, contact Sharon Dwyer at 843-271-1595.

Officers’ Spouses Club hosts 43rd Senior Citizens Tea For more than 40 years, the Senior Citizens Tea has been held during the holidays to honor the Lowcountry’s seniors and members of the U.S. military’s greatest generation. The tea, hosted by the Officers’ Spouses Club at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, is a special way of thanking the community for their longstanding support for the Beaufort South Carolina Military Tri-Command.

In a unique tradition, area seniors are transported from nursing homes, assisted living centers and private residences to the Officer’s Club at the air station. There, they are escorted by uniformed active duty Marine Corps and Naval Officers and served a traditional tea by the spouses of the officers. The festive afternoon includes food, refreshments, entertainment and raffle prize giveaways.

This year’s 43rd Senior Citizens Tea will be Sunday, Dec. 2, from 1 to 3 p.m. To make the tea a success, the Officers’ Spouses Club is accepting donations. A $30 “Sponsor a Senior” donation supports one individual; all donations over $30 include a listing in the donors section of the event program.

For more information about the tea or where to donate, call 843-305-2701 or email mcasbeaufortosc@gmail.com.

The auction was hosted by Catherine and David Stewart of the Islands of Beaufort, and was well attended by residents who bid on items as varied as a two-night stay at the Beaufort Holiday Inn and lessons in conversational French.

“Residents of our community are pleased to support our local charities, and many of our neighbors also volunteer throughout the year to lend a helping hand to our local benevolent organizations.” stated Catherine Stewart, hostess of the event, and a member of the Board of Trustees of CODA.

Signs of a virus infection

By Jerod Collins

Viruses and spyware: A computer owner’s worst nightmare. Viruses and spyware are the some of the worst hassles to deal with when it comes to using a computer. They cost companies and individuals a fortune every year in cleanup cost. They can affect a computer in many different ways, ranging from slowing you down, giving false error messages to scare you into sending the virus creator money to remove it, and even stealing your personal information.

You might be infected and not even know it. Here are some signs to look for if you think you are infected.

1. Your computer’s performance degrades: If you see that you are running slower than you have been a few days prior, that is usually a good sign that you are infected. Malicious applications usually drain your computer’s resources and can cause you to lose performance.

2. Takes forever to startup: If you notice that your computer starts up very slowly out of the blue with no

TECH TALK

modifications on your part, it can mean that a virus has infected your system and is starting up when your computer is as well. This makes the startup process take much longer than it would normally.

3. Toolbars and tray icons out of nowhere: If you ever see a new toolbar that you don’t remember installing when you are browsing the Internet (usually with a strange name like Funmoods, Facemoods, Babylon or Mywebsearch ... especially Mywebsearch) this usually means that you are infected. These toolbars are usually easy to remove by going to add

or remove programs and uninstalling them. The biggest danger of these toolbars is that they can track your personal information, or they can give you bogus search results that can lead you to virus laden websites.

4. YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED!! If you ever see a message randomly pop up on your computer from a random antivirus that you did not install, this is a big sign that you are infected. This is called Scareware and it is designed to “scare” the computer user and make them believe that they are infected, then get you to send in money to remove it. This is a scam! Never send in any money to suspicious sources. I have actually seen a popup with the FBI logo telling the user to send in money to pay for a violation of federal law. Sad to say that they succeeded and the user

sent in the money.

There are many other signs to look for if your computer is infected. These include: Your browser keeps crashing; you get a new home page; you can’t access Task Manager; and your CPU usage is 100% at all times. Viruses and spyware creators are becoming more and more clever every day, finding new ways to scam unsuspecting users out of their money through bogus warnings.

The best advice I can give you is this: Be sure to have an antivirus program installed. This will stop many of the computer crippling infections that are out there today. Kaspersky, Trend Micro, Webroot, Norton, all of them do a great job of protecting you online. And remember, if you see something unusual, be cautious.

Happy Browsing!

During the holidays and throughout winter, the use of fireplaces, candles, furnaces and decorative lights goes up. So does the risk of a home fire, says Lorraine Carli, vice president of communications for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Residential fires during the winter are responsible for more than 900 deaths and 3,800 injuries each year, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.

Keep safe with these precautions: 1. Only burn seasoned hardwood in your fireplace. Never toss trash, gift wrap or branches from your old Christmas tree into the flames.

2. Extinguish candles if you’re feeling drowsy. According to the NFPA, 36 percent of residential candle fires start in the bedroom. Blow out candles before you fall asleep to prevent curtains or bedding from catching on fire.

3. Keep your Christmas tree watered.

Water it daily to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard. When needles begin to fall off or break rather than bend, it’s time to dispose of the tree.

4. Check electric cords for damage.

Frayed cords and exposed wires are a major fire hazard, especially when they

rest on Christmas tree branches and other flammable materials. When decorating outdoors, prevent cord damage by using clips to hang lights — no nails or staples.

5. Have your fireplace professionally cleaned. According to the NFPA, creosote buildup is responsible for 22 percent of home heating fires. Avoid the danger with an annual chimney inspection and cleaning.

6. Opt for smoke alarms with battery backup. Winter storms can knock out the power and prevent electric smoke alarms from functioning. Make sure your alarms have a battery in place to keep them functioning no matter what.

7. Get the right extension cord. If you need an extension cord for items such as space heaters, make sure the cord is the same size or larger than the cord being plugged into it and that it can handle the amp load.

8. Keep walkways clear. Keep Christmas trees, decorations, furniture and other items from blocking from your home’s exits. If a fire breaks out, this will help everyone get out safely. “Make sure that there are two ways out of every room,” Carli says. As an extra safety precaution, Carli recommends that families practice their fire escape plans in the winter.

Choose your Medicare plan carefully

By Jeffrey White

Medicare/Medicare Advantage plans are open to change enrollment now through December 7. As a result, you have probably seen advertisements for many Medicare Advantage plans.

There are several options in our market area if you decide an Advantage plan is right for you. But don’t assume because it’s an AARP-endorsed company, that it’s the best possible choice for you.

What you need to know is which providers belong to the plan’s network.

A doctor or hospital “in network” is one that negotiates a formal contract and provisions for reimbursement. This is important because, if you receive services from a doctor or hospital out-of-YOURnetwork, you may find yourself with less coverage and paying much more out-ofpocket than you bargained for!

Medicare Advantage plans are not supplemental plans, they actually replace traditional Medicare. Sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” a Medicare Advantage Plan is another health plan choice you may have as part of Medicare.

They are offered by private insurance companies and provide all of your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) coverage.

Medicare Advantage Plans pay for all of the services that Medicare covers, including emergency and urgent care. These plans are NOT supplemental coverage, but they may offer extra benefits, such as vision, hearing, dental and/or health and wellness programs. Most include Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D).

Although participating insurance companies must follow rules set by Medicare, each Medicare Advantage Plan can charge different out-of-pocket costs and have different rules for how you get services. For instance, you may need a referral to see a specialist or you may be required to go only to doctors or facilities that belong to the plan for non-emergency or non-urgent care. Or you may be required to obtain prior approval for certain procedures to avoid higher costs.

If you are treated by a doctor or hospital that doesn’t belong to the plan, your services may not be covered or your costs could be higher.

Since not all Medicare Advantage Plans work the same way, it’s important to find out the rules and costs of a plan — and if your doctors and hospital are in the plan’s network of providers — before you sign up. In most cases, you’re enrolled in a plan for a year and cannot change plans until the next open enrollment, which could be up to one year later.

Insurance companies offering Medicare products may say you are free to choose any doctor or hospital, but some fail to let you know that you may pay more for medical care by providers (doctors and hospitals) not in their network.

If you are already in a plan and do not select a different insurance company, you will be automatically re-enrolled in your current plan. Be aware, the plan’s rules and participants can change each year, so you’ll need to confirm your health care providers are still part of the insurance company’s network.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital participates in five Medicare Advantage Plans. They are: • Medicare-Ambassador PPO (MCR Advantage plan under America’s 1st

Choice) • Medicare-Blue (MCR Advantage PPO plan) • Medicare-Humana Choice PPO (MCR Advantage PPO plans) • Medicare-Humana Gold Choice PFFS (MCR Advantage plan) • Medicare-Patriot PFFS (MCR Advantage plan under America’s 1st Choice) To find out more about plans available in the area, go to www.medicare.gov and enter your zip code. If you want more information about Beaufort Memorial’s participation in a specific Medicare Advantage Plan, visit www.bmhsc.org or call Robin Poehnert at 522-5794.

Remember, you only have until December 7 to choose a different Medicare Advantage plan, or you may choose to switch back to traditional Medicare. Whichever you choose, make sure you know what you are getting before you sign up and that you understand the implications and requirements of joining a particular Medicare Advantage plan.

Jeffrey White is Senior VP and CFO at Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

Walking the walk, while trying not to trip

By Martha O’Regan

“What do I do when...?” This seems to be the most common question I receive from clients who have decided to try a different approach to their health and wellbeing. They are interested in the energetic version of common everyday experiences such as a disagreement with a partner, a sudden financial crunch, or the drama of a middle school daughter. Even as we learn how to live in harmony in difficult situations, strive to do the right thing and live spiritually and healthfully, we still have to raise our children, maintain our homes, pay our taxes, go to the grocery store, try to get 6-8 hours of sleep. Oh, and find a little fun in there. So, how do we move through a 24-hour period with the inner peace, courage, and divine guidance that we all strive to achieve without having a nervous breakdown or a headache in the process?

It’s called self awareness and we all have access to it when we choose.

If you are one of those folks who feels like you are wearing a bullet proof vest all day, feeling squeezed while dodging all the stuff coming your way, then consider a new approach. Likely you are experiencing anxiety, sleeplessness, pain, digestive distress, etc., because your body is in “survival” mode, even when you try to relax.

Over time, your body will exhaust one or more systems resulting in disease.

Choosing a new approach is the first step as you begin the practice of tuning in, breathing, or shifting thoughts. It is a constant practice because as humans being, we are in constant motion. Becoming

aware and giving ourselves permission to trust the inner voice or conscience that we are all equipped with, allows us the ability to notice when it’s time to slow down, take a deep breath, or shift a thought. It also helps to realize that every experience is there for us to learn as we evolve.

As we are bombarded daily with experiences that attempt to undermine our good intentions of living with integrity, be aware of the ego mind taking over, defending, or getting in the last word. Have you noticed, this can create more upset and regret? By taking that extra moment to observe the situation rather than reacting, you can breathe, and “feel” the best response. This will often diffuse the situation enough to gain clarity and composure, allowing a more positive outcome.

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, there is always something new to learn. Love yourself throughout this obstacle course called life, but most importantly, have fun with it. It’s only life and you get to choose how to exist in it, so Live Well ... Have Fun!

Why have a mammogram at the Women’s Imaging Center?

A suspicious mammogram can make any woman anxious, but Jess Laboy was terrified. She ’d already endured the loss of two family members to breast cancer. Unnerved at the prospect of waiting days for ultrasound results, she chose Beaufort Memorial and got results the very same day. Jess was grateful for every second free of worrying and waiting, and for more time to celebrate with her family.

Louis Bruce studio opening

rare chance to see the beautiful works of local landscape artist Louis Bruce in his studio (which he single-handedly reclaimed from the dilapidated second floor of the historic Saltus Building on Bay Street) happened last weekend.

Local has close encounter with ‘Spiderman’ star on Bay Street Deanna Bowdish, Beaufort artist and owner of The Gallery, could not have been more surprised this past Thanksgiving weekend when, while talking to a friend and leaving her store, she accidentally crashed into a passerby and ended up in his arms. “I turned my head and was literally kissing distance from the face of Toby McGuire, one of the biggest movie stars in the world!” said Deanna, “But all I could do was stare at him open-mouthed with my jaw dropped.” She added, “He was very nice about it and just smiled and wished me a Happy Thanksgiving and continued on his way down Bay Street.”

Deanna’s was just one of many spottings around town of the movie star. McGuire was in town visiting famed movie producer Joel Silver who owns Auldbrass Plantation nearby. The “Spiderman” star was reportedly staying at The Rhett House Inn, which has hosted many movie stars in the past such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, and Sandra Bullock, to name just a few. Go to www.rhetthouseinn.com to see the full listing of stars and the rooms at the inn where they have stayed.

Spanish Moss Trail success celebrated at official opening

is ready to celebrate

By Lanier Laney

Calling it one of the most important things to happen to Beaufort in his lifetime, Mayor Billy Keyserling helped inaugurate and congratulate all the people involved in completing the first section of the remarkable Spanish Moss Bike/Walk Trail in the newly refurbished Depot building on Depot Road.

Jim Kennedy, who provided the crucial starting funds for the trail from the James M Cox Foundation, described an inspiring vision of Beaufort being one day connected to Charleston and other cities via a network of bike trails like the ones he’s been an important part of creating for the city of Atlanta.

Big thanks go to Jim from all of us in Beaufort for his crucial and transformative role in making Beaufort County a better, more “people friendly” place to live and to enjoy our beautiful environment for generations to come.

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

nancy sadler:

defending the

defenseless

A summer job as a teenager working with children at a YMCA led to a distinguished legal career for Nancy Sadler of Griffith, Sadler, and Sharp

A

native of Clinton, S.C., Nancy Sadler didn’t know it at the time, but a chance summer job working at her local YMCA as a teenager was the start of a life-long career for her — defending the best interests of children.

After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a major in Sociology and a minor in Psychology, she starting working for the Department of Social Services (DSS) as a social worker investigating child abuse and neglect cases. As part of that job, she would have to go to court and testify on behalf of abused or neglected children which became a very frustrating experience for her as she observed legal maneuverings that did not result in the best interest of the children.

Says Nancy, “I had a sexual abuse case which resulted in a father being arrested for repeatedly abusing his child. I attended one of the initial hearings and watched a lawyer cross examining a distraught 11-year-old about the abuse. It was very difficult to watch and I just figured if I were a lawyer rather than a social worker, I could be of more help. My mother was aware of that, so when I went home for Thanksgiving in my fourth year of DSS employment, she had an application for the LSAT (law school entrance exam) on the dining room table.”

Nancy was glad she listened to her mother.

After getting her law degree from USC, she was able to fulfill her desire to better help children. Nancy said,“I worked as a prosecutor in child abuse and neglect cases presenting the cases for DSS and helping social workers get their cases ready for court. I also worked for many years as a volunteer Guardian ad Litem in child abuse and neglect cases. A guardian ad litem attempts to protect the best interests of the child in court proceedings and one is appointed by the Family Court in child abuse and neglect proceedings. I have also worked for pay as a private guardian in child custody matters and continue to do that now.

I generally have one or two cases in which I participate for free that involve child custody or child related matters.”

Nancy found that her background in social work gave her a deeper and better perspective in pursuing the best legal outcomes for the child. She said, “During my years as a social worker, I was able to be a part of the worlds of many kinds of people from all walks of life — those who were raised by abusive parents, those raised in abject poverty, those raised in families with problems of mental illness

It is difficult to understand the situations of families different from your own if you have never been involved in their lives. The complexity of these problems is more clear if you have actually spent a day in the life of their families.”

Nancy’s expertise as a lawyer and pragmatic approach to legal solutions was quickly recognized by her peers. She was elected the first woman President of the Beaufort County Bar Association and was invited to join the Charleston Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates, which at the time had very few women members. She was later invited to be a fellow in the prestigious Litigation Counsel of America, a trial lawyer honorary society that recognizes both accomplishment in litigation and superior ethical reputation. In 2004, Former Governor Mark Sanford appointed Nancy as a Beaufort County Magistrate, where she’s brought her informed, balanced approach to legal issues to the judge’s bench.

Nancy originally moved to Beaufort because her then-future husband, Mac Mitchell, lived here. She met Mac at a wedding in Beaufort while in college and fell in love. They’ve been married for 31 years. Mac is a partner in his family’s successful construction business — Mitchell Brothers Inc. Nancy credits Mac’s long standing support as a major factor in her career. Says Nancy with a laugh, “He put

the island news | november 29 - december 5, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

up with me and let me pursue what I needed to pursue without complaint. He has always supported me at home and in my work. He simply makes my life better.”

She also says he was a great father to their three children — Julia, 30, Evelyn, 28, and Charlie, 26. One of her daughters followed in her mother’s legal footsteps and is a public defender in Greenville. Nancy said, “My first job as a lawyer was public defending in Beaufort County. That position gave me a world of trial experience that has been valuable over the course of my career, so I am particularly please that Evelyn is doing the same thing.”

In 1992, Nancy got together with fellow lawyer Mitchell Griffith and founded their firm. “Mitch and I went to law school together and were friends,” Nancy explained. “We were like-minded about what kind of firm we wanted. We wanted to focus on providing good service at a reasonable price and it paid off for us. I think we hired Mary Sharp within a year or two of starting because we had enough work for a third lawyer and it went on from there. Worth Liipfert was next, then Michael Freeman, Kelly Dennis, Dean Marshall Waldron and Matthew Cavender.

None of us actually specialize, but we are trial lawyers who do mostly defense work.

We are usually hired when someone has been sued to defend the lawsuit that someone has filed against them. That someone may be an individual, a company or a government entity.

We occasionally bring lawsuits on behalf of people. Several of us are certified mediators for civil court cases and I am certified for both civil cases and domestic relations cases. Some of us do domestic relations work and we do some appellate work. So we are a ‘general practice’ but the majority of what we do is trial work on the defense side.”

Nancy continues, “From personal injury and workers’ compensation defense to commercial litigation for businesses, we have the depth and diversity to provide large firm performance, at a small firm cost. Our law firm is committed to doing quality work for our clients in an efficient manner, avoiding unnecessary delay and costs for our clients. Most people who have legal troubles are distraught anyway and we want to resolve their dilemmas as quickly and cost effectively as possible while doing an exemplary job for them. The lawyers and staff in my office are exceptional, each performing responsibilities well. We are really proud of the work we do and the quality that we give our clients.”

Four months before his death in December, 1791, Mozart was in poor health and busy finishing both his “Magic Flute” and starting his Requiem.

Nevertheless, he accepted a commission to write an opera for the coronation of Emperor Leopold II of Bohemia — one month later. Mozart cleverly simplified the process by composing all the music while allowing a young composer, Franz Sussmayr, to link the flow of the plot by writing the recitative (spoken or accompanied dialogue). Even under such time constraints, it’s astonishing that it contains so much beautiful music. It became “La Clemenza di Tito.”

The cast: Tito, Emperor of Rome;Vitellia, daughter of the deposed Emperor; Sesto, a friend of Tito; Annio, a friend of Sesto; Servilia, sister of Sesto; and Publio, Praetorian commander.

Act I: Vitellia, furious at not being considered by Tito to be his empress, urges Sesto, her admirer, to join her conspiracy to kill Tito. After Sesto hesitantly agrees and departs, she learns that Tito is now undecided, raising her hopes.

Annio asks Sesto for the hand of his sister, Servilia, in marriage. Sesto agrees, only to discover soon after that Tito has made his decision. It’s Servilia! When Annio learns this, sadly he tells Servilia

that she is to become the empress.

Servilia tells Tito that she loves Annio, prompting him not to stand between them. Now Tito announces that he plans to marry — Vitellia! Unaware of this, she sends Sesto off to burn the Capitol and kill Tito. With Sesto gone, the news finally reaches her, but too late to stop him. Vitellia’s emotions conflict, knowing she could become empress, even as Sesto is out to kill him. Sesto succeeds in torching the Capitol, leading many to believe that Tito is dead. The act ends in general confusion.

Act II: It is now known that Tito has escaped death, and about the plot to kill him. Sesto decides to plead guilty, causing Vitellia’s concern that her role might be revealed. After Publio arrests Sesto, the Senate meets and condemns him to death.

Tito signs the death warrant, but when alone, reconsiders and tears it up.

As Sesto and his conspirators are about to be thrown to the lions, Vitellia cannot bear her guilt and confesses to Tito.

Fortunately for all, it ends well, thanks to ‘la clemenza di Tito.’

dolce amplesso…” (I embrace you, my friend…). This duet, expressing warm friendship, quickly became a popular tune beyond the opera world. And it’s only 24 bars long, lasting less than a minute!

Annio, Servilia: “Ah perdona al primo affetto…” (Ah, forgive me, my former love…). Charles Osborne called it “one of Mozart’s most perfect pieces.” Beethoven composed a fantasia celebrating it. And Shelley, inspired by the melody, wrote: “I arise from dreams of thee.”

Sesto: “Parto, ma tu ben mio...” (I leave, my dearest…). It’s a fine virtuoso aria and a real test for a mezzo-soprano. What helps make it so impressive is a fine clarinet accompaniment.

Vitellia: “Vengo…aspettate…Sesto!”

(I’m coming…wait…Sesto!). This is perhaps the finest dramatic piece in the score as Vitellia is too late to stop Sesto from carrying out her order to kill Tito.

Sesto: “Deh conservate, o Dio…” (Oh, ye gods, preserve the glory of Rome — on my shame). When word circulates that Tito might be dead, everyone reacts in horror. The act concludes with an impressive sextet, ending in hushed voices, and complemented by distant cries of lament from the chorus.

Sesto: “Quello di Tito il volto…” (Is that the face of Tito?) – Tito confronts Sesto, seeking reasons for his betrayal, for which Sesto accepts all blame. A beautiful and expressive piece.

Vitellia: “Non piu di fiori…” (No more flowers….). Few if any composers can match what Mozart has accomplished in this unique ‘duet.’ As Vitellia languishes about her hopeless dream of becoming empress, she is accompanied — with Mozartian harmony — by a rarely-heard basset horn.

Sesto: “Tu, e ver, m’assolvi…” (It’s true, forgive me…). It’s a good vigorous sextet finale with the “populace” rolling out platitudes for “la clemenza di Tito.”

The performers: I’m not familiar with three singers — Giuseppe Filianoti (Tito), Lucy Crow (Servilia) and Oren Gradus (Publio), but I can speak with enthusiasm about the three female singers who round out the cast. Two of them, Elina Garanca (of “Carmen” fame) and Kate Lindsey, are young mezzo-sopranos who will sing ‘trouser roles’ as Sesto and Annio.

Words can’t match what you’ll see and hear, so just Google “Garanca-MozartLa Clemenza” and you’ll know why. As for Kate Lindsey, the Washington Post wrote that “she has a voice that is rich and rarified, a dark-colored ribbon of sound.”

And the one soprano who will be acting like a “lady” will be Met favorite Barbara Frittoli, vocally gifted to deliver a wide range of emotionally-challenged moments as Vitellia.

Photo Club of Beaufort dazzles with ‘White’ “White” Is it a color? The dictionary describes white as the color of light containing all of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum without absorption.

For painters, since white cannot be created from other colors, most consider it the absence of color. Already we have a difference of opinion. White was also the first color used by pre-historic artists.

Their drawings were created from chalk made from calcite and lime.

Each year the Photography Club of Beaufort assigns members a year-long photo project. This year, in honor of those first artists, the subject chosen was WHITE. Members spent the past 11

Images were projected at the November meeting of the club and 40 images were chosen to be exhibited at the club’s annual December exhibit at the Beaufort Branch Library. Framed photos will be on display and offered for sale in the library’s second floor gallery from Dec. 7, 2012, to January 16, 2013.

This is indeed the time of year when we hum the familiar songs, enjoy the glitter and shine of the stores and the streets, buy presents for family members and loved ones, and in doing all of those, we happily give in to the good feelings of tradition, the warmth and love of the season — something we all need and want.

One tradition the Beaufort Art Association is proud to present again this year is an all-member Holiday Show that will run from Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 to Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at the BAA Gallery, 913 Bay St. This exhibit will include work by well-known local artists whose work is otherwise not regularly available through the gallery.

Board approves 2013-14 calendar

The Beaufort County Board of Education today approved a district-wide calendar for the 2013-14 school year that begins on August 12, 2013, and ends June 5, 2014.

The August 12-June 5 calendar was one of two options considered by the Board, the other being a calendar that ended on May 29 but featured shorter holiday breaks.

Parents and educators who participated in a pair of surveys in recent days favored by 4-1 margins the calendar with the later closing date that included longer holiday breaks.

The board-approved calendar includes a five-day Thanksgiving holiday and two weeks off in December.

High school ‘boo-boos’

By Grace Stewart

Beaufort Elementary School Montessori students build garden On Saturday, November 17, parents, teachers and students of the Beaufort Elementary School Montessori program came together to help build a new teaching garden outside their classrooms.

Beaufort Academy athletics boasts many star players including all-state swimmers, football players, all-region basketball players and state placing cheerleaders. However, many sports are being stripped of their prized players due to injuries that consume the entirety of the athlete’s season.

Two seniors at Beaufort Academy were taken out of two different sports this year (so far), Megan Debardelaben (varsity girls basketball) and Charlie Humphries (varsity football). I spoke with Megan about the situation she is in and how life changed after she found out that she tore her ACL (knee ligament). After coming to the realization that she would be out for the season, Megan was shocked and nearly cried. After all, she has been playing basketball for five years. She knew that having an injury in your senior year of high school definitely affects the chances of playing a certain sport in college.

Not only does that injury have a negative effect on future college years, but it is also very costly. Results show that 13% of female basketball players will tear their ACL and 70% of those athletes will require surgery to repair that torn ligament. The average cost of surgery for an ACL is $2,400; add that to the emotional cost of loss of school days, sitting on the sideline, and not being able to participate in sports for about six months; it can feel very disappointing.

Charlie Humphries was also taken out of the football season by a shattered collar bone that required surgery to insert metal plates. Not only was he robbed from his favorite sport that he had been playing for his entire high school career, but the cost of recovery surgery is much more than that

of a torn ACL. Both Charlie and Megan continued and will continue supporting their team with attendance at practices as well as games, showing true athletic devotion. Now I pose the question, should the school limit Grace Stewart the sports offered due to costly injuries?

Many students today rely heavily on their athletic abilities rather than their academic successes to help them get into college. If they are deprived of sport’s participation then they are left with nothing if academics are average. These circumstances have led me to dive deeper into the school’s responsibility to its athletes. If schools were to look further into the incidences of particular sports injuries, then better insurance can be offered too help offset expense should the player be injured during participation.

Injury prevention guidelines and better equipment are constantly being updated to help prevent seasonending injuries. The trauma suffered by high school competitors could be reduced by a requirement of certain updated padding, clothing, or even supportive braces. Better conditioning and education of athletes can also help reduce injuries.

It is not my position to limit high school athletics because of injuries, however I do believe that the responsibility lies with the athlete as well as the school to avoid injuries by better education, adequate training and innovations in protective equipment. For now, the game must go on; good luck to all athletes in Beaufort, and remember to be safe, because this article could potentially pertain to you.

history with holly

By Lori Baggett

I grew up in Beaufort and I remember my grandma ran the old Beaufort Inn. Every weekend we would stay at the inn with her.

My memory is that every Saturday, we would go on Bay Street and shop at the old Belk, have lunch at John Cross Tavern then go into the old Luther’s pharmacy and buy a bottled coke for 25 cents. I always got to pick out strawberry licorice. That was pretty much a weekend ritual for us for years.

Beaufort History Museum features exhibit on fish camps Local author and photographer Janet Garrity’s new book “Goin’ Down the River, Fish Camps of the Sea Islands” has sparked interest in a tradition that spans more than 250 years of history in the Sea Islands. This interest can be seen up close and personal at a new exhibition that opens Thursday, December 13, at the Beaufort History Museum.

The exhibit, “Goin’ Down the River,” will feature photographs from Garrity’s book and a handcrafted model of a fish camp by Dennis Cannady. The photographic display will include old

photos that demonstrate the history of “goin’ down the river” and Garrity’s original photos that capture the essence of fish camps and their natural surroundings.

“Fish camps are as familiar to South Carolina as shrimp boats, crab pots and plantations,” Garrity said. “Goin’ down the river to the camp is a very old, generational ritual in this part of the world, and my book is a means of preserving the tradition. In that spirit, what better place to hold a photographic exhibit of an historic activity native to

Boys & Girls Club Thrift Store 1211 Harrington St. • (843) 379-6350

this area than the Beaufort History Museum?”

When Garrity’s book first hit the shelves of local stores, Katherine Lang, president of Janet the Beaufort History Garrity Museum, wasted no time in approaching Garrity about showing her work at the museum. “When I learned about ‘Goin’ Down the River, Fish Camps of the Sea Islands,’ I immediately went to Janet’s website to look at her photographs.

I thought they were wonderful, so I went to her first book signing in late September, bought a copy of the book, and right on the spot asked Janet to consider an exhibit with us. We met soon after and agreed the subject matter fit with the museum’s mission, so we started work putting together this fine exhibit.”

The “Goin’ Down the River” exhibit’s opening night reception will be held Thursday, December 13, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Beaufort’s City Hall, home to the History Museum. For reservations to the reception, send a check for $25 per person (non-members) or $20 per person (members) to Beaufort History Museum, 1911 Boundary Street, Beaufort, SC 29902. In addition to

author has holiday book signings Beaufort author and photographer Janet Garrity will sign copies of her book “Goin’ Down the River, Fish Camps of the Sea Islands” at a variety of locations in Beaufort County.

On December 7, from 5 to 8 p.m., McIntosh Book Shoppe, 917 Bay Street, Beaufort, will host several local authors, including Garrity, as part of “A Night on the Town.”

Garrity will be at Fordham Market Saturday, Dec. 8, 701 Bay Street, where Mags, Mugs, & More, located inside the market, will host a book signing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Then she will be signing her book at the Holiday Open House at Nuances, 703 Paris Ave, Port Royal, from 4 to 7 p.m.

being among the first to view the exhibit, reception guests will be entertained by the music of The Bull Grapes (Kirk Dempsey and Adam Grenade) and have opportunity to meet Janet Garrity and purchase a signed copy of her book.

A portion of the proceeds from book sales that night will be donated to the History Museum. Ticket prices include admission to the exhibit and cocktail foods, featuring barbecue and oysters.

Wine and beer will be available for purchase. The exhibit will be on display until January 26, 2013.

the best of happy winos

Keep Happy Hour Happy!

Happy Hour is a sacred space in which we must see life as half full, to be served with a side of witty repartee, laughter and music. No TV news. No opening bills.

And absolutely no phone calls!

By Terry Sweeney

You know winter is our time to get down with some spicy, heart-warming, berry-bustin’ reds that make us want to throw another log on the fire and kick back with some sultry French jazz, letting our minds wistfully drift off to Paris. Beaufort, South Carolina? We’re familiar with it. We used to live there once, an hour ago; before we moved here to the Left Bank ...

RING! RING! “Darn it. I forgot to turn off the cell phone!”

RING! RING! “How many times is it gonna ring?! Don’t they know it’s 5 o’clock in Beaufort?!”

RING! RING! “Oh my god, they’re calling back! It could be an emergency!”

Lanier violently shakes his head “no” and bugs his eyes out with his best don’tyou-dare look. “You know our rule,” he says.

Indeed I do. It’s “NEVER answer the phone during Happy Hour.”

How many times have we been happily floating down a soothing river of red, nuzzling a bottle of, say, Chateauneuf du Pape (Feraud-Brunel makes one of our favorites — French Rhone red 2005 — 92pts ... OK, OK, so we only had a bottle of it once and somebody else paid for it, just using a little artistic license here,

Terry Sweeney

friends!) So what if it was a bottle of some lesser known French red under $12 that the “Count de Costco” was hawking from his supersized superstore wine cellar? The point is, we were in a beautiful boozy bliss ...

RING! RING! What gives? Has my godforsaken cell phone lost its take-a-message feature?

Verizon shall hear of this ...

RING! RING! I look down and see it’s my friend Rhonda. I love Rhonda. She’s one of the funniest women I know. Actress, playwright, comedienne. No doubt she’s calling to tell me her latest hilarious New York misadventure! Surely I can talk to her during Happy Hour. I take a nice long mellow sip and pick up the phone.

“Finally!!” she barks irately. (Uh oh, not a good beginning.) She launches into a bitter take-no-prisoners tirade: “The deaf old lady in the apartment next door falls asleep with the TV blasting and I’m gonna kill her! Remember that guy I was dating? Guess what?? Turns out

he’s married! Why always me?! Why??!

Why??” she wails tragically into my poor ear. “I’m getting old and I’m broke! And I live in a dump! God, I hate my life!”

Once again, The Curse of the Happy Hour Haranguer is upon me. One hour later and I hate her life too and myself for being stupid enough to pick up the phone. Upstairs, I can hear Lanier happily tapping his foot to the angelic voices of ABBA. “You can dance! You can dance! Having the time of your life!”

Downstairs, my friend’s still on the rant from Hell. My empty wine glass glares accusingly back at me: “How could you?!

This was supposed to be our time!”

Now this is not just a fluke. I’ve had people call me during other Happy Hours to tell me in sad, hushed tones things like, “Estelle Getty just died.”

“Who?” I ask.

“The oldest Golden Girl from the TV series.”

“And you felt the need to call and tell me this morbid little tidbit during my only happy hour of the day?” I ask flatly.

Or here’s another: “You’ll never guess who’s got cancer of the prostate.”

I don’t wanna guess. I just want to drink my South Australian Shiraz in peace looking at the beautiful sunset from my porch trying desperately to affirm “Life IS beautiful.” Instead, this unwelcome medical messenger of doom and gloom is babbling in my ear: “He’s only 60 and he had absolutely no symptoms — it was a total shock!”

I think, “Hey, I’m 60 and I don’t have any symptoms. This very minute I could be riddled with prostate cancer and not know it. Good God!” My Happy Hour comes to a screeching halt as I run to my computer to Google “latest cures for prostate cancer.” (Fortunately I find that red wine is listed as a preventative!)

I know, I know, death, destruction, depression are a part of life. We know they’re out there. But for at least one hour (OK, maybe two) we would like to drink a luscious Argentinian Malbec and revel in the miracle of the “little red grape that could” now doing a delightful tango on our taste buds. Is that too much to ask? No TV news. No opening bills.

And absolutely no calls! Happy Hour is a sacred space in which we must see the glass of life as half full, to be served with a side of witty repartee, laughter and music. Aaahhh...

RING! RING! Oh no you don’t, whoever you are!

Lanier, turn up the ABBA! Cheers!

Something special to drink: A good Merlot

By Celia Strong

With one holiday behind us, hopefully we can move towards a wonderful Christmas and New Year — with the help of food and wine, of course.

This last month of the year is always a “make it or break it” time in most businesses. For us, looking at wines, it can be a great chance to get some wines at deal prices. This means we can look at wines that we’d never consider during ordinary times of the year — maybe it’s not your favorite grape, too expensive, don’t know the winery, whatever. So, let’s open our hearts to the possibility of something special to drink: A good Merlot! And let’s look at it carefully so we really appreciate the wine when we get to it.

Merlot is red grape variety (too careful?). On its vine, it is actually a dark black-blue color. The name “Merlot” is believed to derive from the Old French word for a young blackbird, “merle.” We can suppose that the color of the bird and the color of the grape were similar.

Or, and this is a much more fun theory, blackbirds liked to eat so many of the grapes, that a derivative of the name “merle” was used as the grape’s name.

Merlot-based wines are usually medium bodied with flavors like berries, plums and currants. Its wines’ textures are soft and fleshy. Because of its texture and because Merlot is an earlier ripening variety, the grape is well suited for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. The wide use of Merlot for blending may have caused it to be an under-appreciated grape by some of us. But, this week, we fix that.

California at Davis, one of our country’s biggest and best for ampelography, says that Merlot is the offspring of Cabernet Franc and the sibling of Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon. The earliest recorded history of Merlot is from 1784, when notes in Bordeaux mentioned wines made from Merlot that were thought to be some of the best from the region. By the nineteenth century, Merlot was being regularly planted in the Left Bank part of Bordeaux, the north side of the Gironde River. Since then, as Merlot growing has spread around the world, this variety has risen and fallen and risen again in popularity When growing, Merlot hangs in its dark, blackish-blue color, in loose bunches of large berries. Compared to its bigger-wine brother, Cabernet Sauvignon, its berries are larger, have thinner skins and hence fewer tannins (that’s where the soft texture comes from), have more sugar (slightly more alcohol) and less malic acid (less tartness). Merlot grows really well in cold soil, particularly with iron content in it. In the United States, Merlot first found a home in California. In California, Merlot wines can range from very fruity, simple wines (what we maybe generalize as “grocery store” wines even though we all like and drink some

The wine for this week is the B R Cohn Merlot, from the winery in Sonoma, California. Unlike so many Merlot wines — this one is 100 percent Merlot. At $18.97, it is half the regular price. of them) to more serious, barrel-aged fine wines. All these Merlot wines come in a huge range of prices, of course. In Sonoma, which I mention because that’s the area that matters to us today, Merlot wines tend to show plum, tea and black cherry notes. And, yes, now, we move on to our special wine for this week.

Not too long ago, we talked about a Sonoma winery named B R Cohn. Bruce Cohn founded his winery in 1984, on land he had bought a decade earlier. For a long time he sold his grapes to other wineries to augment the quality of their wines, in particular Caymus. (I know Caymus is a Napa wine, but back then the appellation regulations were not as strict and, if we keep saying Caymus bought Cohn grapes for their wines, we can remember how good these grapes were, and are.) The Olive Hill Estate, the 90-acre home vineyard for the B R Cohn Winery, is the base for their wines and the inspiration of their label — an tree branch full of olives. In 1990, Bruce founded the B R Cohn Olive Oil Company and started producing gourmet olive oils and hand crafted vinegars. Also, Bruce and his son, Dan, because of Bruce’s background in music and radio, still manage The Doobie Brothers and hold annual concerts at the winery to benefit Sonoma charities. The visitors’ center at the winery is a huge attraction for daily visits, weddings and

other events.

Our wine for this week is the B R Cohn Merlot. Unfortunately, we don’t usually do this wine, only because we are so in tune with the B R Cohn Silver Label level where they make a Cabernet and a Chardonnay. Price-wise these two wines are closer to what many of us want to pay for our daily glass or two.

Having started out discussing how this time of year we can get deals on some wines we’re not familiar with, it’s pretty safe to assume the B R Cohn Merlot is one of them. This Merlot is not part of the Silver Label tier, so it costs more, but for more money you get a great Merlot! It’s full of ripe blackberry and bright cherry with hints of anise and mocha. This wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, and this adds a toasty vanilla flavor and softens the tannins also. Unlike so many Merlot wines, this one is 100 percent Merlot — a testament to the quality of B R Cohn’s grapes! Our price on this wine is $18.97.

Yes, that’s more than their Silver Label tier, but it is also about half the regular price: and that is a deal!

The deal price is the good news. The not-quite-so good news is we only a limited amount of this wine available.

I’m sure we could get more, but not at the deal price. So, you decide. My advise is not to wait too long. Besides, we may have another deal next week. Enjoy!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

What’s your dosha? The Kapha Dog BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

All of us know a Kapha dog. I’m reminded of any number of Golden Retriever friends — all good-natured, slow-moving, bulky, resilient and always eager to please. All enjoy an afternoon in a sunspot, sharing space with a beloved stuffed bear.

Kapha is the conceptual equilibrium of water and earth. Kapha represents structure and lubrication. One can visualize Kapha as the force that keeps the water and the earth from separating. This dosha maintains body resistance. Water is the main constituent of Kapha and this bodily water is responsible physiologically for biological strength and natural tissue resistance in the body. Kapha lubricates the joints, provides moisture to the skin, helps to heal wounds, fills the spaces in the body, gives biological strength, vigor, and stability, supports memory retention, gives energy to the heart and lungs and maintains immunity.

Kapha is present in the chest, throat, head, sinuses, nose, mouth, stomach, joints, plasma, and in the liquid secretions of the body, such as mucus.

Psychologically, Kapha is responsible for the emotions of attachment and greed.

It is also expressed in tendencies toward calmness, forgiveness, and love. The chest is the seat of Kapha.

Common characteristics of pets who have a predominantly Kapha constitution: • Easygoing, relaxed, slow-paced • Affectionate and loving, forgiving,

Practitioners of Ayurveda generally view wellness in three categories, or doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Kapha pets are generally healthy, happy and peaceful. compassionate, non-judgmental nature, stable and reliable; faithful • Physically strong with a sturdy, heavier build • Have the most energy of all constitutions, but it is steady and enduring, not explosive • Slow moving and graceful • Slower to learn, but never forgets; outstanding long-term memory • Soft fur; tendency to have large “soft” eyes and are soft tempered • Tend toward being overweight; may suffer from sluggish digestion • More self-sufficient, need less outward stimulation than do the other types; have a mild, gentle, and essentially undemanding approach to life • Excellent health, strong resistance to

disease • Calm, strive to maintain peace in their surroundings • Not easily upset and can be a point of stability for others • Tend to be possessive • Don’t like cold, damp weather • Physical problems include colds and congestion, respiratory problems including asthma and wheezing, hay fever, allergies, and atherosclerosis.

strong tendency for these individuals to carry excess weight. Their chests are expanded and broad. The veins and tendons of Kapha pets are not obvious because of their thick skin and heavy muscle development. The bones are not prominent.

The fur is soft, thick, wavy, lustrous, and oily, and skin texture is cold and pale.

The eyes are dense, large, and attractive.

Physiologically, Kapha pets have regular appetites. Due to slow digestion, they tend to consume less food. Sleep is sound and prolonged. There is a strong vital capacity evidenced by good stamina, and Kapha pets are generally healthy, happy and peaceful.

Psychologically, they tend to be tolerant, calm, forgiving, and loving. However, they also exhibit traits of greed, attachment and possessiveness. Their comprehension is slow but definite: once they understand something, that knowledge is retained.

Life is considered a sacred path in Ayurveda, a ceaseless interaction between the internal Tridosha, environment and the external environment, or the sum of cosmic forces. To counterbalance external change, a pet lover may create a balance for their pet in the internal forces by altering diet, lifestyle and behavior.
