Thanks to the wonderful philanthropic efforts of the Port Royal Sound Foundation and thanks to all the hard work of people like Board of Trustee Chair Michael Long and Trustee Dick Stewart and many other very generous individuals.

They successfully raised 3.7 million dollars to build and staff the beautiful new Maritime Center and Aquarium on Lemon

Island, just over the bridge on the Broad River. Admission is free to all in Beaufort County and they also have all kinds of water safety kayak and boating classes.

This past weekend they had their first fundraising gala to fund the ongoing day to day of the center and future expansion and a great time was had by all!! The GALA continued on page 12

Golden Corral thanks Military personnel On Wednesday, November 11, for the 15th consecutive year, Golden Corral on Robert Smalls Parkway in Beaufort will once again thank thousands of active duty and retired United States military personnel for their service with a free dinner buffet and beverage, while also raising donations for the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). A tradition started 14 years ago to celebrate our nation’s heroes, Golden Corral’s Military Appreciation Night has served more than 4.4 million complimentary meals to military personnel and gen-

erated more than $10.2 million dollars in guest contributions to support community-based service initiatives for veterans.

“The entire Golden Corral system is very passionate about supporting our military service men and women, and we believe thanking them with a free dinner buffet is one way to show our immense appreciation for their service to our country,” said Lance Trenary, president and chief executive officer of Golden Corral. “We are very honored to have raised more than $10.2 million for the DAV over the years and look

forward to adding to that total again this year.”

Golden Corral will serve free dinner buffets with beverage from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on November 11 to any person who is or has served in a United States Military branch, including the National Guard and Reserves. State and local DAV representatives will be onsite at all Golden Corral locations coordinating the collection of donations from customers. While only current and former military qualify for the free meal, everyone is encouraged to come out and show support for our veterans.

BMH continues to benefit from Foundation’s Endowment The BMH Foundation’s Endowment provides a growing source of revenue to further the mission of BMH. The payout this past year was over $510,000, making the cumulative revenue provided to BMH from this source almost $4 million. On top of the many project or department-specific funds granted each year by the Foundation, CEO Rick Toomey stresses the importance of this revenue stream to help keep the hospital financially healthy over the long haul. “The annual endowment check has definitely become a factor in

keeping Beaufort Memorial a hospital of choice for our patients and an employer of choice for our employees,” he says.

A significant part of the Endowment’s growth has come from OurBMH, the hospital’s employee giving campaign. For the past two years, 80% of all donations to the campaign have been directed to the Endowment. OurBMH member, Emily Harris sees it as a case of “all of us supporting one another. Employees support the Foundation, the Foundation supports the hospital, and the hospital takes care of our entire community.”

HOWARD “FLASH” BORN BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA RETIRED VETERAN​

one’s country.”

A military life makes a big “Flash”

By Molly Ingram

Meet Howard Born, known as “Flash” to his friends and cohorts. And Flash seems to be the best single word to describe him. Soon to be 76, Flash has spent almost his entire career in the military or in military related private industry. Born into a military family that seemed split between the army and the navy with an occasional flyer thrown in for good measure, Flash could salute and sing “Anchors Aweigh” — his Father’s college fight song — long before he could do most other things.

Flash was born in the Naval Hospital on the US Navy Submarine Base, in Coco Solo, Canal Zone, Panama where his Dad was stationed. Anne, his lovely wife, reminds him that he was shipped stateside on a “banana boat” to settle at a Florida base where his Father had been transferred. As a youngster, Flash remembers “getting a ride to school in 1st grade in the Navy mail truck” which was going into town to pick up the days delivery of packages etc. So more

S e rv i n g

the

than once, Flash seemed to be involved with alternative methods of delivery at the hands of the military in his formative years.

Flash attended Penn State and there was a member of the army ROTC and a Marine reservist at the same time. He accepted a regular Army commission after graduation and began a stellar and challenging career in the Army for the next 26 years. Flash began as an Artillery Officer but moved to flight school becoming both a fixed wing and rotary wing (helicopter) aviator. After two tours in Vietnam, Flash served his country in various capacities in both the US and overseas. His last Army position was at the Pentagon as the Director for US Army International Development Programs, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Development.

Phew. It’s a good thing he wrote that down for me because there is no way I would have gotten it right otherwise.

When his 1st wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Flash made the decision to

L o w c o u n t ry

retire as a Colonel from the Army and move to the private sector. Spending time working at General Dynamics on business development in the area of “unmanned aerial vehicle systems,” Flash kept his hand in the military world. I think “unmanned aerial vehicle systems” is what we now call drones and for me it harkened back to his early days of alternative delivery methods, like Banana Boats and the mail truck. And as I sit here writing this, I’m wondering if Flash is currently working in secret with Amazon on their new drone delivery system?

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Flash is the proud Dad of three great boys — Allen 48, John 46, and Robert 41 — all successful in their own right. His eldest son is an investment banker in Pennsylvania, the next is an Armored Calvary Commander based in Nevada and the youngest one is an entrepreneur in alternative energy sources in Hawaii. And then there is one very important granddaughter.

What struck me the most when

Since

1998

talking with Flash was that he is a living, breathing, example of what I expect to see when someone says that “there is nothing more important than service to one’s country.” It is very much in his blood and his beliefs are strong and intransigent.

Living in Beaufort, we are lucky to see this type of dedication and commitment around us with the new Marines graduating on Parris Island, fighter pilots based at MCAS, and so many military retirees who have decided to stay in our little part of paradise.

On November 14th, we owe all of these men and women more than just a heartfelt “thank you.” We owe them for all that we hold dear and that we value — our freedoms, the safety of our family and loved ones, and our opportunity for prosperity. Howard Born is a huge credit to his family, his friends (of which I now include myself ), his community, the soldiers he has served proudly with, and to the United States of America.

Flash, you make me damn proud to be an American!

Are you a candidate for laser cataract surgery?

By Dr. Mark S. Siegel

Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

The femtosecond laser technology that brought new levels of safety, accuracy and predictability to LASIK surgery is also advancing cataract surgery. In our office, we call the procedure Refractive LaserAssisted Cataract Surgery (ReLACS), but it also is known generally as laser cataract surgery.

In laser cataract surgery, an advanced femtosecond laser replaces or assists in the use of a hand-held surgical tool for the following steps in cataract surgery: 1 The corneal incision 2 The anterior capsulotomy 3 Lens and cataract fragmentation 4 Astigmatism correction at the time of surgery Use of a laser can improve the precision, accuracy and reproducibility of each of these steps, potentially reducing risks and improving visual outcomes of cataract surgery.

The Corneal Incision Traditional cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgeries and also one of the most safe and effective, with predictable outcomes. It is highly dependent on surgeon skill, volume and experience.

Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com. 843-525-1500.

corneal incision with a sophisticated 3-D image of the eye called an OCT (optical coherence tomography). The goal is to create an incision with a specific location, depth and length in all planes, and with the OCT image and a femtosecond laser it can be performed exactly without the variable of surgeon experience or patient cooperation.

This is important not only for accuracy but also for increasing the likelihood that the incision will be self-sealing at the end of the procedure, which reduces the risk of infection.

The Capsulotomy A very thin, clear capsule surrounds the eye’s natural lens. In cataract surgery, the front portion of the capsule is removed in a step called an anterior capsulotomy, to gain access to the cataract.

It is very important that the remainder of the lens capsule that remains intact in the eye is not damaged during cataract surgery, because it must hold the artificial lens implant in place for the rest of the patient’s life.

In traditional cataract surgery, the surgeon creates an opening in the capsule with a small needle and then uses that same needle or a forceps to tear the capsule in a circular fashion.

In laser cataract surgery, the anterior capsulotomy is performed with a femtosecond laser. Studies have shown that capsulotomies performed with a laser have greater accuracy and reproducibility.

Studies also have shown that laser capsulotomies enable better centering of the intraocular lens, and IOL positioning is a significant factor in determining final visual outcomes.

Lens and Cataract Fragmentation After the capsulotomy, the surgeon now has access to the cataract to remove it. In traditional cataract surgery, the ultrasonic device that breaks up the cataract is inserted into the incision. During this phacoemulsification procedure, the ultrasound energy can lead to heat buildup in the incision, which sometimes can burn the incision and negatively affect the visual outcome by actually inducing astigmatism.

An incision burn also has a higher chance of leaking and sometimes needs multiple sutures to close. The smaller the incision we use, the more this issue is important to consider.

The laser, on the other hand, softens the cataract as it breaks it up. By breaking up the cataract into smaller, softer pieces, less energy should be needed to remove the

Optical coherence tomography is an imaging technology that helps your cataract surgeon to plan the location and depth of incisions made during a laserassisted cataract surgery procedure. OCT scans offer high-resolution and even crosssectional images, to make the cataract surgery as precise as possible.

The first step in cataract surgery is making an incision in the cornea. In manual cataract surgery, the eye surgeon uses a hand-held metal or diamond blade to create an incision in the area where the cornea meets the sclera. This incision allows the surgeon to gain access to the interior of the eye to break up and remove the cataract, which is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that is located right behind the pupil. Next, an intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted and implanted, to replace the cloudy natural lens.

The corneal incision is made in a special way so it will self-seal when surgery is complete, without any need for stitches.

In laser cataract surgery, the surgeon creates a precise surgical plan for the

Cost of Laser Cataract Surgery Refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery costs more than conventional options. Medicare or private health insurance does not cover extra costs of laser cataract surgery since the laser is used to treat astigmatism or is used in conjunction with advanced technology IOLs, which is not a covered service. You will pay extra out-of-pocket per eye for a laser-assisted procedure.

Conclusion It is important to put this new technology into proper perspective.

Manual cataract surgery is very effective and successful. People who do not want to invest out-of-pocket money in laser cataract surgery can still feel confident about the manual approach.

But if you want the best possible vision, laser cataract surgery is more precise, accurate and gentle. A more accurate and precise incision, capsulotomy and astigmatic correction may help you achieve your goal of less dependence on glasses after cataract surgery.

Cataract surgeons who use lasers say that their advantages are especially evident when it comes to advanced technology, premium implants such as presbyopia-correcting multifocal IOLs and toric IOLs for astigmatism. The advantages can include better lens placement and therefore more accurate visual outcomes.

To decide if laser cataract surgery is the best choice for you, ask your cataract surgeon for more information about this exciting technology during your preoperative exam and consultation.

BEST CANDIDATES Blurred vision, clouded vision, light sensitivity, dim colors Procedure time: about 20 minutes Typical results: long-lasting clear vision (at all distances with presbyopia-correcting IOLs) Recovery time: about a month

cataract, so there should be less chance of burning and distorting the incision.

Laser cataract surgery may also reduce the risk of capsule breakage. After the calculation of the proper implant power, there is no step more important for visual outcome than preservation of the capsule that the natural lens sat in. This capsule is as thin as cellophane wrap and it’s important that the portion that is left inside the eye after cataract surgery is undamaged, so it can hold the IOL in the proper position for clear, undistorted vision.

The reduced phacoemulsification energy required in laser cataract surgery may also make the procedure safer to the inner eye, which reduces the chance of certain complications, such as corneal decompensation or retinal complications.

Astigmatism Correction at the Time of Cataract Surgery To reduce the need for prescription eyeglasses or reading glasses after cataract surgery, it is important that little or no astigmatism is present after implantation of IOLs, especially presbyopia-correcting multifocal IOLs. Astigmatism usually is caused by the cornea being more curved in one meridian than others (in other words, it’s shaped somewhat like a football). To reduce astigmatism, small incisions can be placed in the periphery of this more curved meridian; as the incisions heal, this meridian flattens slightly to give the cornea a rounder, more symmetrical shape (like a baseball).

This procedure is called limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) or astigmatic keratotomy (AK). Surgeons can perform LRI or AK manually with a diamond blade, and it is quite effective in reducing astigmatism.

During refractive laser-assisted cataract surgery, the OCT image can be used to plan laser LRI or AK incisions in a very precise location, length and depth. This increases the accuracy of the astigmatism-reducing procedure and increased the probability of good vision without glasses after cataract surgery.

Laser Cataract Surgery Systems Currently Available A number of medical device companies worldwide manufacture systems for performing laser cataract surgery. There are four Systems that have attained FDA approval and are currently available for laser-assisted cataract surgery performed in the United States. We use the LenSx system in our practice.

• LenSx. The LenSx system (Alcon) was the first femtosecond laser system to gain FDA approval for cataract surgery performed in the U.S. The LenSx system is approved for corneal incisions, capsulotomies and lens (cataract) fragmentation and has been used in more than 400,000 cataract refractive procedures worldwide, according to Alcon

Conroy family panel very funny & touching at USCB Pat at 70 event

By Lanier Laney

The nearly sold out Conroy family panel was at times laugh out loud funny (as all members of the family have great senses of Irish humor) and very touching.

Said sister Kathy Conroy Harvey: “The book ‘The Great Santini’ changed all of our lives in this family. We had never spoken about it before and then suddenly the whole world knew our secrets. We are very grateful for Pat for having the bravery to put all of the that out there. And the best part was, our father changed after the book! Pat inadvertently gave us a dad we never had before.” Added Cassandra explaining, “Pat’s father became much nicer and quite charming after the book

and movie, almost to prove that everything Pat had written was a lie.” “I knew none of the charming or nice side of him growing up— he ruined our childhood” said Pat. Brother Mike agreed, “We thought being slugged by your father all the time starting as early as 5 years old Lanier Laney was the norm”. And having to watch him beat up their mother repeatedly was heartbreaking to all. When the Conroy brothers and sisters first saw ‘The Great Santini,’ at the end of the movie, brother Mike turned to Pat and said “Duvall

was Bambi compared to our real dad!” (who apparently was much tougher and hit harder than anything portrayed in the movie). “No one would have believed it if they had to see how mean it really was,” said Pat with a shrug. “We were the only family thrilled with the Vietnam War because dad was sent away to it,” said Pat. It was amazing watching the family members how they all seemed to have survived with an ironic and funny take on everything. Somehow they all took the pain of their childhood experience and transformed it into a black comedy. Fascinating interviews with the Conroy family by moderator Walter Edgar (who hosted) have been turned into several books.

Pat Conroy’s birthday bash, a rousing celebration Acclaimed author Pat Conroy celebrated his 70th birthday in rousing style with well-wishers coming from as far away as Pennsylvania and Sweden to join in the revelry. A festive birthday bash, hosted by the Beaufort History Museum on Halloween night in the courtyard of the historic Arsenal, attracted over 350 guests who feasted on delectable lowcountry fare, sipped wine, nibbled birthday cake, enjoyed live music and mixed and mingled in the beautifully decorated space.

“We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect way to help Pat celebrate his birthday,” said BHM Board Member Katherine Lang, who was instrumental in organizing the event.“We were thrilled and honored to be able to participate in the three-day ‘Pat Conroy at 70 Festival’ with this party in his honor.”

The birthday boy clearly savored the chance to reunite with family, old friends, former students and colleagues as he welcomed them, posing for pictures, recalling the good times they had shared and meeting his many admirers. His enthusiasm and warmth set the tone for a memorable evening.

Among the highlights of the party the birthday cake itself was a huge hit with partygoers, who were amazed that it was an exact replica of a shrimp boat, complete with Conroy’s birthdate and named “Miss Lila” after the character of his mother in his novel, The Prince of Tides. It sat on a tray surrounded by handcrafted white chocolate shrimp and oysters. The cake, a creation of the Smith and Feil families of Charleston, was sponsored by Halo Restaurant (Charleston) and Spartina 449 of Daufuskie Island.

Rowland Washington, owner of Wings n’ Tings cooked up the lowcountry dishes served at the party. The band, Horizon, provided the smooth jazz music for the evening.

Among the notable friends, family and colleagues who attended were Sallie Robinson (author of a Gullah cookbook); Mina Truong (Conroy’s business partner and trainer); Jan Nordby Gretlund (who came all the way from Sweden); Marly Roussoff & Michael Radulescu (she is Conroy’s literary agent); Jonathan Haupt (Director at USC Press); Scott Graber (Classmate at The Citadel); Bernie Schein (he is a novelist and Conroy’s best friend); actor Michael O’Keefe (who played Conroy in the film Lords of Discipline); novelists Mark Powell and Valerie Sayers and Story River Books authors Ellen Malphrus, John Warley, John Lane, Mark Powell, Maggie Schein and Maggie’s husband and illustrator, Johnathan Hannah.

Adding, “There is a very beautiful flow of language in all of Pat’s work”.

Beaufort’s good intentions for Boundary Street

By Bill Rauch

The Boundary Street Project is in what Beaufort County’s chief construction engineer, Robert McFee, calls “the pause before the storm.”

The City of Beaufort’s project manager in charge of the project says he expects to give the project’s contractor, Preferred Materials Inc. of Orlando, FL, the goahead, called officially the “Notice to Proceed,” when he and the contractor meet in ten days on Monday, November 16th.

Once that document is issued the project’s 24 month clock starts ticking.

However, the City’s project manager, David Coleman, further explained that the heavy work the public associates with the project, the digging, the milling, the pouring and the much-maligned rerouting of the traffic — “the storm” — won’t begin until early January.

Since the corridor to be improved includes US 21 between SC 170 and Ribaut Road, and it is Beaufort’s most heavily-traveled corridor, the precautions the City, Beaufort County, and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) will put into place to ease the pain of the project are unusual.

To get the job done with the least disruption to the businesses along the corridor and to the public, having construc-

tion occur after 9:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. has been deemed to be key. However, the city currently has an ordinance on its books that prohibits anyone making loud noises during the nighttime hours.

Not for long. Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop says City Council will consider at its next meeting suspending its Work Ordinance (Sec. 9-1008) within the scope of the Boundary Street project during the 24 month contract term.

Mr. Coleman, the project’s manager,

additionally explained that further necessitating the need for night work is a SCDOT guideline that requires two travel lanes in each direction on US 21 be available all day every day to motorists during the daylight hours throughout the 24 month term of the project. The obvious intention at the outset is that the big work — and the big lane closures — will be scheduled for after dark.

In an effort to keep the public informed of progress, problems, schedules, and other issues Mr. Coleman also says he will hold throughout the duration of the project weekly Friday afternoon briefings at City Hall on the project’s progress that will be open to business-owners and the public.

“My job is to make things better for the public, not worse,” he added Monday.

Clearly Mr. Coleman and the city are approaching this potentially disruptive project with the best of intentions to manage it.

The question will be how well did they set up the contract documents and how well down the line will they manage the low bidding contractor such that their good intentions are in fact transformed into reality.

The contractor, Preferred Materials Inc., has a history in Beaufort County.

They were, for example, the SCDOT contractor on the recent Albergotti Creek Bridge replacement project. Preferred

Materials Inc., was previously known as APAC, and APAC did the 2004 and 2012 widenings of US 278, according to Beaufort County’s Robert McFee. All were successful projects, he added.

So that’s good news.

More good news is the city has scaled the project back considerably from the original 2006 plan that included a two lane side street along the north side of Boundary Street for parking, and a parallel road -- or back street -- that connects SC 170 to Pigeon Point. The side street has been scuttled altogether and in the contract documents the parallel road runs from Walgreen’s east to Hogarth Street so it is not a viable alternative for most local Boundary Street traffic.

Despite the plentiful opportunities extended to shovel ready projects like this one presented by President Barack Obama’s 2009-12 stimulus program the city was never able to pull together the dollars needed to undertake the full project. So, if it is good news, the good news is there will be less construction.

The bad news is both of the discarded corridors would have presented motorists with alternatives to Boundary Street and thus lifted pressure from the primary corridor during the construction period, and thereafter.

Skeeter Hawks – the unofficial South Carolina State Bird

By Lee Scott

Early last year before we moved to Beaufort, we docked our boat at a South Carolina marina. We went up to the restaurant and sat at the bar where we met a remarkable bartender named Bill. Although I believe he pronounced it Beel as in “Hi, I’m Beel.” We got to talking to Bill and when we were preparing to return to the boat Bill said, “Watch out for them Skeeter Hawks!”

I stopped, turned around and asked “Skeeter Hawks”?

“Yup, those Skeeter Hawks are the South Carolina State Bird. They’ll swarm down on you and cover you with bites. Why they can even pick up a little dog and carry him off.”

I looked at the waitress walking 14

by and she said calmly, “I have some complimentary insect repellant right there next to the door.” It was then I recalled a visit with my daughter who was a young freshman at the College of Charleston. From the time I got out of the car to the time I got into her Dorm, I had four welts on my arms. When she saw me she pulled out some Off insect

wipes and said that she carried them all the time.

The truth is that most time you don’t have to worry about the Skeeter Hawks.

When the wind is blowing, they just keep moving, but when the air is stagnant, that is when they get you. Even my husband will now reach for my Skin so Soft when he is working out in the yard. I used to

complain that the insect only liked my soft skin, but they have attacked his leather skin too.

But it turns out that Bill was actually wrong. First of all Skeeter Hawks are non-stinging insects that actually eat mosquitos. So we should like them.

Second, in 1948 the Great Carolina Wren became the official South Carolina State Bird and it also eats lots of insects.

But the picturesque description of the Skeeter Hawk, as provided by Bill, is now in our nomenclature. When company from the north come we have our cans of Off, Skin so Soft and other insect repellants for them to use. We also caution them when walking their dogs.

One never knows when a Skeeter Hawk might fly down and pick up little Toto.

World class violinist plays to benefit local Clubs Frank Almond and his 1715 Lipinski Stradivarius will make beautiful music together at a fundraiser benefitting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Beaufort County. In January, Beaufort will welcome a small, dark and handsome celebrity into its midst and that celebrity’s name is “Lipinski.” The “Lipinski” Stradivarius, made in 1715, will journey to the Lowcountry with world class violinist Frank Almond for Notes: An Evening of Musical Storytelling & Casual Conversation, the first annual gala event to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Beaufort County.

Not quite a concert but much more than a party, Notes will be a night to remember, starting with its venue, the newly restored Tabby Place on Port Republic Street in historic downtown Beaufort. Though the Stradivarius is fancy, dress will be casual and the setting informal. “The new Tabby Place is the largest venue north of the Broad,” says event planner Jodie Miller of Plum Productions. “We’re going to transform it...give it a jazz clubby feel.

Without the jazz.” Southern Graces will

serve up wonderful food and the cocktails will flow.

And Frank Almond, renowned recording artist and concertmaster of the Milwaukee Symphony, will play his famous violin. The “Lipinski” Stradivarius, with its long and storied history, made international news in 2014 when it was stolen from Frank during an armed robbery, only to be recovered by law enforcement nine days later. The heist and recovery of this rare instrument– insured for $6 million–was the subject of a BBC documentary, a long piece in Vanity Fair, and myriad other media features. Almond will share this story and other anecdotes during an animated performance, accompanied by the equally chatty Michael Braz on a Steinway piano.

Make no mistake: Notes won’t be a stuffy concert in a hushed auditorium. Notes will be a great party with spectacular music and conversation. There’s also an art auction in the works, featuring donated pieces by several of Beaufort’s finest artists offering their interpretations of the “Lipinski” Stradivarius in a variety

of media. Student art will be on display as well.

“It’s going to be a fabulous evening,” says Jeff Evans, publisher of Lowcountry Weekly, who’s chairing the event with his wife Margaret, along with honorary chairs Brantley and Alice Harvey.

“Everybody knows Brantley as the former Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and an all around great guy,” says Margaret Evans. “What some people don’t know is that he played violin with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra for years. So this event is near and dear to his heart. Jeff and I are thrilled to be serving with the Harveys.”

Mike Gonzalez, president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Beaufort County, is a friend of Almond’s and says Beaufort is in for a real treat. “We are so excited to have an artist of Frank’s stature coming to play at our Notes event. Both he and the ‘Lipinski’ are artistic treasures.”

According to Gonzalez, Almond is giving his time and talent for Notes because he believes in the mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs. “Our organizations

are focused on helping our kids be better students, healthier people, and contributing citizens,” says Gonzalez.

“This event is the culmination of hard work by a committed group of community volunteers determined to extend our services to more youth in the area.”

Notes: An Evening of Musical Storytelling and Casual Conversation is Saturday, January 9th at 6 p.m. at Tabby Place in downtown Beaufort.

Lowcountry Wind Symphony marks its one year anniversary, announces Season Concert Schedule The Lowcountry Wind Symphony will celebrate its first anniversary, under the baton of Music Director, Donald F. Jemella this month. It has been an exciting year, with the organization growing fast, and now numbering some fifty members.

Although they may pause to play through a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’ in mid-October, the musicians are hard at work preparing for the first concert, ‘Honoring America’s Veterans’. The date set for the opening of the 2015-2016 concert season is Sunday, November 8th at 4:00 p.m. at St John’s Lutheran Church located at 157 Lady’s Island Drive in Beaufort. The concert is free but donations are gratefully accepted.

Conducting a community band has long been a dream for Jemella, who moved to Sun City from New York in 2007. Now he is excited to see this idea come alive and move ahead so quickly.

“The Beaufort area provides a wealth of musical talent, and we have been fortunate that so many quality musicians have joined the LWS. We have also had the good fortune to have found a wonderful rehearsal space at ArtWorks.

The Beaufort Arts Council has welcomed the LWS from its inception, and we are most grateful to the Board of Directors and staff.”

Jemella has a lifelong background in music, beginning with Bachelor’s and Masters’ degrees from The Boston Conservatory and an eleven year teaching career. Although he worked as a corporate banker for nearly 30 years, he continued to be involved in music education as a guest conductor and clinician at high school music festivals in the Northeast, and served as an adjudicator at scholastic music competitions throughout the country.

Jemella brings a very positive attitude to each rehearsal. Interim President of the LWS Board, Bobbi Logan agrees. “I had played the bassoon in high school and

Although Jemella is not above crack- serves as its Assistant Director. When ing a few jokes occasionally, the group is not working with LWS, Giove directs very serious about making music of the the Parris Island Marine Band. This

partnership led to the musical highlight of our last concert season. In May, LWS was joined by the Parris Island Marine Band and Beaufort High School Band, with one hundred youth and adult players on stage together! This event speaks to one of LWS’ most important goals - supporting music education in the greater Beaufort area.

Second Assistant Director, Deborah Hamner, is a former member of the PI Marine band, where she honed her conducting skills, in addition to playing in the clarinet section. Newly retired from the Marines, she is now on the faculty of Bridges Preparatory School, where she is the Band Director and teaches General Music in grades K-8. Having such strong continuity of leadership has meant that LWS is able to meet year round, with no breaks necessary when a conductor is called away on business or is on vacation.

LWS is a concert band and the selected music includes marches, classical pieces, show and movie tunes, as well as original compositions for band. In addition to the November concert, LWS plans to perform throughout Beaufort County, with dates already set in February and April.

The group rehearses weekly on Wednesday nights from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at ArtWorks, at 2127 Boundary St. in the Kmart Plaza. The Lowcountry Wind Symphony welcomes all area wind, brass, and percussion players who have a sincere desire to play and a willingness to attend regularly. Talented high school youth are also invited to participate. Interested players may contact Chris Raskind 843838-6744 or Anton Ross 843-338-7459.

There is no cost to join LWS. However, donations from the community are welcome at any time. If you would like to become involved in financially supporting LWS, please contact us at info@ lowcountrywindsymphony.com.

Thibault Gallery features abstract paintings by Rene Griffith Mary Thibault announced that Artist Rene Griffith will be the featured artist for the month of November at the Thibault Gallery on Bay Street in Beaufort. “My nonobjective paintings are some of the most challenging yet satisfying for me to create because they come from within,” says Griffith.

Griffith has been drawing and painting most of her life but it wasn’t until she moved to San Francisco in the 90’s that she took her art making seriously. Studying with some of the best art teachers in the city, she took classes in life drawing, alternative photography processes, and mixedmedia painting. She also became a “faux finish” painter using her painting skills to create decorative walls such as marble, wood, and stone finishes for many San Francisco residences.

As a member of Thibault Gallery’s “family of artists,” her original mixedmedia paintings hang on the walls

FEATURED ARTIST AT THE THIBAULT GALLERY ON BAY STREET A versatile artist, Rene Griffith’s paintings are in the abstract expressionist style where she uses basic color and gestural design elements to express a feeling or set a tone. Today Griffith continues to explore her creative possibilities as an artist by searching for new ways to combine photography with paint.

She has exhibited her work in San Francisco at a solo show at the ModernPast Gallery, and locally in Orlando’s Adjectives Market, Melbourne’s Fifth Avenue Gallery and Cocoa’s Clay Stephens Lifestyles Gallery.

Time to pretend we’re in a holiday mood

By Celia Strong I’m not sure how it’s happened again.

Or how it happened so fast. But we are into the ending months of another year.

Unprepared in every way imaginable.

And, yet, we are stuck planning holiday meals and wines to go with them. For myself, my answer is start with the good stuff. It puts my head in a much better place. Even if I don’t get any further than having a good glass of something most days. At least I can pretend I’m in a holiday mood. The better my glass, the better my mood. Surprise!

Having said that, we are going to do some good stuff today. A Champagne.

(Good enough start? Cuz if it isn’t, we can do better. But I am trying to save that for next month. So, let’s start with one this week and we can still have “better” to look forward to.) To begin, a quick review of a few important facts. Champagne is a sparkling wine that comes from a designated region in northern France. Included in the right to use “Champagne” as their appellation on their labels, these producers (houses more specifically in the region) have to follow certain production laws.

They are allowed to use three grapes - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier - and certain stages in the multi-year process have minimum times.

This means they cannot speed things up.

There are three levels of Champagnes.

Non-vintage, also known as multivintage. Wines where grapes from more than one year are blended to make the final product. These are representative of the house style. The blending means, too, every time you buy a bottle of nonvintage from “house X,” it will taste like

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

other bottles from the same house.

The second level is vintage dated Champagne, where all the grapes were grown and harvested in the year dated on the bottle. These wines reflect the house style and the vintage growing conditions.

(Every year is not a good enough batch of grapes to use them without blending.)

And cost more. The top level, or “prestige,” is even more special, made less often, and much pricier. We are doing a non-vintage. But an excellent one!

Our house is Louis Roederer. This company was inherited by Louis Roederer, 1843. His was the vision to own great land to grow great grapes and make great wines. In 1845, he acquired a bit more than 37 acres of Grand Cru vineyards in what is now the designated Champagne region.

His goal was to get parcels of land with specific characteristics so that his wines would have certain flavors and textures. (In 2013, Louis Roederer this company held 410 parcels covering almost 600 acres. All Grands and Premiers Crus. A really, really large holding for this region.) Each of the three varieties does better on certain types of soil with

certain drainage and sun exposure.

Hugely complicated growing. Over the years, this house has remained privately owned. And their founder’s insistence on top quality vineyards has resulted in top quality wines. Just so you know, their prestige wine is Cristal!

One of the great stories about Roederer Cristal is about how it was made especially for Czar Nicholas of Russia. Russian royalty always enjoyed Champagnes, before other countries ever did. One night the Czar was looking down his long dining table and saw all the different bottles of Champagne in front of various couples. ( Just like today, different styles were favored by different members of his family, so they all had their brand to bring with them to the table.) All the bottles were wrapped in white towels and they all looked the same. Czar Nicholas decided his bottle had to stand out. Roederer made his bottle out of clear lead crystal. Because it was crystal, it was a stronger glass bottle and did not need a punt in the bottom to strengthen it. So the Czar’s new bottle was clear and became known as Cristal.

And, with that pedigree in mind, we can now approach our bottle of Roederer Brut Premier. Their non-vintage Champagne. It is made with 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Some of the individual wines for this blend are aged in oak barrels.

Some of the grapes used are purchased, but most come from vineyards owned by Roederer. Together, these grapes strike a perfect balance between youthfulness and maturity, seduction and character, freshness and vinosity. A lot of fancy words for one of the best non-vintage

Champagnes ever. The only drawback is this kind of quality comes at a price.

A higher price. Except for us this year.

Usually more than fifty dollars, we have a great new deal. $39.97. Less than many other big name Champagnes. My holiday mood starts tonight! Enjoy.

Learn about all things pet related from medical to behavioral to just good ideas!

Should you/could you foster a pet?

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

There is no question that fostering a pet is a great thing to do. If affords the pet a chance to get acclimated to a home environment, and it lets you share your valuable experience in training, teaching and loving a pet which in turn helps them find a furever home. But there are some things that you need to be aware of before you just blithely say you will take a litter of kittens whose mother has passed away or a dog that has never been in a house before.

There’s a time commitment. You may be asked to foster a dog or cat from two weeks to two months, depending on circumstances. Foster parents don’t need to be home 24 hours a day, but you might have to postpone that weekend getaway or family vacation if you’re asked to take care of an animal for an extended period of time.

There are different types of fostering.

Shelters need foster parents for puppies or young dogs, for kittens, for animals needing medical care, or for dogs with behavioral issues. It doesn’t mean you have to be able to foster all of those types; you might just want to foster kittens or pups. But foster parents are needed in all of those categories, and shelters typically offer orientation or instruction to help you deal with each type.

You may be asked to work with a dog on some basic training and temperament issues. There’s more than just feeding, exercise, and grooming involved with a foster dog. Some might

need to be housetrained. Others may have problems with chewing household items like your shoes, or jumping on strangers. Foster parents may need to devote time to breaking bad habits so a dog can be socialized. If a dog has a chewing problem, make preparations in advance — don’t leave shoes, clothes, or other important items around.

You might be asked to nurse a dog or cat back to health. This could require giving them medication at certain times of the day or perhaps bathing them periodically. Before taking in an animal that’s recovering from an illness or disease, check with your vet if you have concerns about your own pets.

For many foster parents, the single biggest concern is falling in love, especially if you already have pets at home. After all, what’s another dog or cat in the household?

It’s admirable, but as experts point out, it’s not always the best thing. If you adopt a pet that you’re fostering, you might have reached your limit of household pets and not be able to accept any others. That’s one less foster home for the shelter to rely on. Most of those

in the rescue business would like to save each and every pet we see, read about, or hear about. That just isn’t possible. You need to assess where you are as a family and if there is really room for another pet. Sometimes there is room and that is called a “foster failure” when you just can’t say goodbye. And sometimes the biggest help you can possibly be is to stay a foster and help many more animals find their perfect family.

Even a little time with a family, away from the confined space of a kennel and the continual barking, can improve an animal’s disposition. We all know how stressful a kennel environment can be to some dogs and cats. Recently, there was a photo of a dog returned to a kennel after being adopted for just a few days. This poor pup just totally shut down – she wouldn’t eat, play, walk, anything. She

just hid in a corner not understanding what had happened. Because her photo went viral, she now has a new family that will last longer than a couple of days but what about all the other pets whose picture doesn’t go viral? What will they be like in a week, or a month, or a year?

What’s the financial commitment?

In most cases, shelters will pay for vet visits and medications and can provide for other necessities if requested — dog dishes, bedding, collars, ID tags, and crates. Before becoming a foster parent, ask what your financial responsibilities will be.

So if you are ready for it, Percy and I say, “good for you!” What you are giving a dog or cat is a chance at a happy and safe life with their future family and that is really wonderful. Both of us thank you from the bottom, and tops, of our hearts.

Beaufort Photography Collective hosts show

The show will run from November 5-22.

The show is displayed at Beaufort Pics, located at 910 Port Republic Street in Downtown Beaufort. Refreshments will be served, and all art will be available for purchase.

The Beaufort Photography Collective is a composed of 3 like-minded photographers: Eric R Smith, Phil Heim, and David Shipper. They wanted to get back to roots of photography: Black & White.

While High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography is currently popular, with surrealistic exaggerated colors, the group decided to influence the next wave of “in” photography and explore Black & White realism. By stripping away the color, composition and tonality come to the forefront. With many years of combined expertise, the group is enjoying looking at photography in a whole new light.

What is Your risk tolerance?

The most important thing to know about investing is that it involves risk. In fact, all investments carry some degree of risk. Even if you hide your money in a shoebox under the bed, there is still a risk that it might be stolen or that its value will decrease over time due to inflation. The best thing to do then is learn how to potentially minimize the risk, and make good judgments based on your individual risk tolerance. Here are some tips to help you identify your risk tolerance so you can make smart investment decisions.

First, identify your investment goals. Do your goals include retirement, college funding, or a major purchase, such as a home?

Then determine your time frame for each particular goal.

Generally, the longer the time frame, the more risk the investment portfolio can absorb, because there is potentially more time to recover from the ups and downs of market cycles. That means that your age and the length of time

until your retirement might be a factor when you determine what types of investments to include in your portfolio.

Time, however, is not the only indicator of your own personal risk tolerance. There are other important factors such as: your ability to tolerate stress, how much you worry about your finances, how much savings you need to have in the bank to feel comfortable, and how your financial decisions affect your family.

Experts advise people to have at least six months worth of income on hand to tolerate cash flow emergencies like job loss or illness. When determining your risk tolerance for investing, the most important thing to consider is what is needed to keep your financial home safe. After that, your individual time frame can influence the decision of whether or not you can afford the investments with a little more risk.
