Firefighters urge cooking safety

By Lee Levesque

What do you think is the number one cause of home fires in America today?

Hint: It has been the leading cause of fires in our nation for more than a decade! Many people I have asked that question to have said smoking, heating, electrical, etc. But those are second, third, and fourth, respectively.

The National Fire Protection Agency has determined that the number one cause of fire in America today is COOKING. So, why would firefighters want to talk about cooking safety in November?

We are entering what is recognized as “The Holiday Season,” but to those of us in safety fields we call it “Cooking Season.”

So while you whip up your family’s favorite treats in the coming months,

Lee Levesque is a Firefighter and Public Affairs Officer at Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District.

Contact him at 843-252-3431.

we ask you take just a moment to consider the following: • Unattended cooking is by far the leading contributing factor in home fires. Always pay attention to cooking and never walk away.

• 66% of cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials. Keep a pan lid close and a fire extinguisher closer.

• Ranges accounted for the largest share (58%) of home cooking fire incidents. Regardless of how you are

cooking, keep safety in mind.

• Frying poses the greatest risk of fire. Fryers should be used at least 50 feet from any structure and NOT on porches.

• Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires.

Protect yourself and don’t become a statistic.

Please take a few moments each day during this season to consider safety for you and those you love. Those moments could prevent hours, days, or even lifetimes of recovery if the unexpected were to occur.

As always, please feel free to contact your local fire station for all of your safety questions and concerns or join us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ Beaufort County (SC) Fire Chief ’s Safety Education Team (S.E.T.).

Beaufort bans texting and driving Young drivers under the age of 18 prohibited from cell phone use, too, under new law To protect drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians and property owners, the City of Beaufort outlaws texting and emailing while driving. Also, people under age 18 cannot text or use a cell phone while driving. Enforcement begins Nov. 10, 2012.

“This is about safety and this is about saving lives and preventing injuries. It’s not about writing tickets and taking people to court,” Beaufort Police Chief Matt Clancy said. “Texting while driving is suicidal, and I’m not sure most people should be talking on the phone while they’re driving a two-ton vehicle.

“Our goal is to inform and to educate.

Texting and driving don’t go together.

‘Get the message: Don’t text and drive’ is our motto,” Clancy said.

Beaufort’s anti-texting ordinance resulted from concerns expressed by City Councilman George O’Kelley and studies of South Carolina laws and those in other states that addressed the dangers of texting while driving. After legal review, the City Council approved the new law to take effect this month.

Why is texting and driving dangerous?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the

Pew Research Center’s Pew Internet & American Life Project: 1. 45 percent of U.S. adults owned a smartphone as of September 2012, and 66 percent of people ages 1829 own smartphones.

2. In 2010, 3,092 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and another 416,000 were injured in car and truck crashes involving a distracted driver. This includes texting, emailing, talking on the phone, changing radio channels or CDs, and other activities in the vehicle that distract the driver’s attention.

3. Eleven percent of all drivers under age 21 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. This age group has the

largest proportion of drivers who were distracted.

4. In June 2011 there were more than 196 billion text messages sent or received in the U.S., almost double from June 2009.

5. Young adults (ages 18-24) exchange 109.5 messages each day, per person.

6. 18 percent of injury crashes in 2010 were reported as distraction-affected crashes.

7. 40 percent of all teens say they have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger.

8. Drivers who use hand-held devices are 4 times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves.

teach your children well Starting your children off with the right view of finances is so important these days — especially when debt seems to be a common way of life for so many. We can, however, change the way our own children look at money. Here are some important lessons to teach your children about their money: 1. Money Does Not Grow On Trees.

Children do not understand, at least not at first, that there is not an unlimited supply of money at the bank, or on the credit card.

Explain to them the process that they can only buy what you have money to pay for.

2. Saying “No” To Some Unnecessary Things. One of the most valuable lessons a child can learn is to willingly choose to say “No” to some purchases - even if they want it. Do not give them money every time they want it - this teaches them that there is a bottomless supply - when there isn’t.

3. It Is Important To Save. Besides saving for something that they really want, which is a good reason in itself, teach them to save for unexpected things. For instance, if they receive a regular allowance, or, are working after school and earning some money on their own, teach them to put aside a regular percentage — say 10-15%.

4. Establish A Budget. Once your child

is receiving a regular amount of money, you will want to show them how to plan for a wise use of that money. Help them to know how to set money aside for basically three different things: money to spend now, money for special purchases that require savings, and long-term savings.

6. Teach Them About Credit Cards.

Credit cards and checking accounts are similar in that they provide ease of purchase, but without the necessity of carrying cash. Your children only see you handing over the plastic, or another piece of paper.

But they never see that cash is involved — it is behind the scenes to them. Show them how that you must pay monthly for both and that you should never buy more than what you can afford - except for some larger purchases - because the bills for it will come!

7. Give Regularly To Good Causes.

Probably one of the greatest joys that a child can have in the use of their own money is the joy that comes from willingly giving their money to causes greater than themselves. By learning to give some of their money often to causes such as their church, or a charity, they learn that their money can be a blessing to others.

Call us today. Let us help you reach our goals for your money.

www.genegrace.com Headaches Due to Bite?

“Headache is one of the most common reasons for physician visits by patients. One study tracked 953 headache patients for five years. They made nearly 4,000 visits to doctors in seeking relief from headache. Though physicians have identified and classified muscle tension headache, the medical literature is virtually absent of any treatment other than drugs or psychological therapy. These patients went to every conceivable medical specialty but only 8% of those visits were to dentists. Every dentist who has treated patients knows that the bite can cause multiple health problems termed, TMJ syndrome or dysfunction.” (Mytronics: Vol 23, Nov. 07) My daughter and partner Katherine Hefner and I have treated hundreds of patients with great success eliminating such problems as temporal (side of head) headaches, headaches at the base of the skull, neck ache, jaw pain, shoulder pain and ringing of the ears. the island news | november 8-14, 2012 | www.yourislandnews.com

Sometimes, electrocution is worth it

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

I have never been much of a couch potato, a movie buff or basically anything that requires a level of stillness my capabilities lack. Getting my hair done is even a test in futility, as I am fairly certain my stylist would rather have pre-sweetened preschoolers in her chair.

Occasionally, I am forced by some ailment, selfinflicted injury or inclement weather to squint through the channel list to find something to kill a few brain cells and save a few calories. Having a slightly sordid sense of humor, the title “Snapped” usually gains my immediate attention. It is a documentary of sorts depicting stories of women who finally went ever so gently into the dark side. One after another these stories tell tales of murder, mystery and what women are capable of if you catch them on the wrong day.

Although most women will attest that these are rare, unusual occurrences with sudden unpredictable bursts of violence, I often nod and silently tell myself that, although I don’t agree or condone, I sure do know how such behavior may occur. Some episodes have me yelling, “Well what did you expect her to do?” at the narrator while describing the acts of a woman who had obviously been pushed to the limit.

Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Women are as beautiful and complimentary as a string of pearls, but just as likely to go all over the place should the thread finally break.

Women have a switch, not the kind you find in the woods to hand your grandmother after you put your fishing worms in her best china but rather a switch that clearly divides what is controllable and what is not. Somewhat of a shock collar that singes us back to our acceptable territory should we dance on the boundaries of appropriate behavior. It transforms us quickly to a place and time where only one decision remains. Sometimes electrocution is worth it, sometimes it isn’t.

Anyone who has read any of my ramblings knows of my peculiar career choice, my flair for the traumatic and my incredible knack for stepping in a steaming pile of life. This week has tightened my shock collar so that electrocution in many cases would be gravy. To

letter to the editor

November is national hospice care month November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.

“Coping with a serious or lifelimiting illness is not easy. In fact, it might be the hardest work you’ll ever do. Working with doctors and hospitals, navigating the maze of care needs, figuring out insurance coverage, all in addition to taking care of your family can be overwhelming,” said John Beal, Community Relations Liaison.

“We want the community to know that there’s help available that brings comfort, love and respect when they’re most needed.”

Hospice Care of South Carolina provides pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible.

Hospice care is the highest level of quality care with the emotional and spiritual support that is so important for patients and family caregivers coping with serious life-limiting illness.

“We’re working hard all year-round

to make sure people know the full range of services that we provide in the community,” added Beal. “Yet during November, we ramp up our efforts to raise awareness of the high-quality care that’s available. In fact, that’s the message behind this year’s Hospice Month theme: Comfort, Love, and Respect.”

Every year, more than 1.6 million people living with a life-limiting illness receive hospice services. Hospice Care of South Carolina’s local professional team takes the time to talk with you and help you understand your illness and what care options might be available.

Hospice Care of South Carolina (www.hospicecare.net) is the leading hospice provider in South Carolina.

For more than a decade, the group has been changing the way people think about hospice care by focusing on living, and focusing on what the end of life can be.

For more information about hospice services, contact John Beal at 843-6053155 or visit www.hospicecare.net.

avoid starring in my own episode of “Snapped,” I attack the keys on my keyboard as if each beaten, faded letter stole my chocolate and called me fat.

Maybe I am the only woman in the world who practices Voodoo in her head while being party to mind-numbingly outrageous conversations, but I doubt it. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if for one day, possibly even just one hour, women all over the world put down their makeup, stopped trying to ease the discomfort of all of those around her, and for once said exactly what she was thinking, exactly what she meant, at exactly that moment. I am thinking it would force the cast of “Snapped” to look for alternative employment or at least speed up the line at the drivethru pharmacy.

Just like most, I trudged through the mud of this week without being arrested, without appearing on the 6 p.m. news, all the while quietly contemplating the risks and rewards of calling a duck a duck.

Women are as beautiful and complimentary as a string of pearls, but just as likely to go all over the place should the thread finally break. I toast all the women who stay within the often restrictive boundaries of behavior. And silently, with complete compassion, I also toast those who don’t.

LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Boundary Street: ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’

I’m in agreement with a recent writer about the Boundary Street redevelopment. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and the intersection of S.C. 170 and Boundary ain’t broke. Spend all that money on other road projects or maintenance. I would be glad to compile a list of roads, intersections old rail crossings that need attention and fixing.

Our DOT is mandated with moving traffic, but all of the recent projects in our area do nothing but constrict traffic flow: the Bladen Street project, the medians in Port Royal that closed a few

businesses, the constriction of traffic from Charles Street to Bellamy curve.

Let’s do the best with what we got and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Boundary Street redevelopment costly I have owned a business on Boundary Street for more than 30 years now.

Mayor Keyserling, his family and City Council members love Beaufort. I know that. I do not understand why they are so completely bent on spending millions of dollars that no entity has to spare to make a traffic situation much worse.

More about Monsanto and genetically modified food Wayne Dyer, noted philosopher, made the statement, “What you are against, weakens you, what you are for, strengthens you.”

I am for the labeling of Genetically Modified foods, as only then will the public realize how pervasive is the practice of inserting other life-forms into our food — right or wrong. And it’s not just corn.

According to the Weston A. Price Foundation, cows, pigs, farmed fish, and chickens are given GMO corn, soy, and wheat as feed, so even the meat you eat may contain Genetically Modified material. Next on the list are zucchini, squash, and canola; as in canola oil. In addition, cottonseed oil, which is now a predominantly GMO crop, is used for margarines, fat hardening, and is the most commonly used oil for potato chip frying. Finally, 80-85 % of all corn grown in the United States is Genetically Modified, and not only is corn in cereal, chips, and high fructose corn syrup, but corn-derivatives are also found in breads, granola bars, pastries, soft drinks, jams, jellies, ice cream, and ketchup. And even

those odd ingredients on the back of the label, like dextrose, hydrolyzed protein, maltose, maltodextrin and modified food starch, are all items that may indicate the presence of corn.

The conclusion you could reach from the list provided above, is that Genetically Modified foods, which didn’t even exist before the mid-90s, are now an invasive element in the food that you consume on an everyday basis.

It’s up to you to decide what camp of evidence you attend to when it comes to

Genetically Modified foods, but I would admit right here, that what has secretly driven this series is not GM food and the possible consequences of eating it. For me, it’s always been about the farmers.

You see, if my grandfather was still planting that sea of green organic corn, and his neighbor was growing GMO corn across the road (or even on the other side of a buffer zone), this is what could happen, might happen, one breezy summer day — cross pollination.

If pollen from the GMO corn blew into my grandfather’s field, and it tainted my grandfather’s organic corn, well, ‘tainted’ would not be how one of Monsanto’s field agents would look at it.

Monsanto’s agent, after proper testing, would see to it that my grandfather would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law — for patent infringement.

And if I think of my grandparents at 60, the age that they are the clearest and the strongest in my mind, sitting at their kitchen table, fingers already gnarled and swollen from arthritis, reading through the latest injunction against them by Monsanto, I struggle with how perverse that would be. And I wouldn’t understand at age 10, or as a woman of 52, why my grandfather couldn’t just as easily sue Monsanto for “non-containment” of their product, and win — but it doesn’t happen, not in the United States.

But someone is fighting for the farmers of the United States. The Public Patent Foundation, Representing the Public’s Interest in the Patent System, filed suit preemptively in 2011, “on behalf of 60 family farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations ... against Monsanto Company to challenge the chemical giant’s patents on genetically modified seed.” Plaintiff, Jim Gerritsen, a family farmer in Maine who raises organic seed and is President of lead plaintiff Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association based in Montrose, Colorado, said, “Today is Independence Day for America. Today we are seeking protection from the Court and putting Monsanto on notice. Monsanto’s threats and abuse of family farmers stops here.

Monsanto’s genetic contamination of organic seed and organic crops ends now.

Americans have the right to choice in the marketplace to decide what kind of food they will feed their families — and we are taking this action on their behalf to protect that right to choose. Organic farmers have the right to raise our organic crops for our families and our customers on our farms without the threat of invasion by Monsanto’s genetic contamination and without harassment by a reckless polluter.

Beginning today, America asserts her right to justice and pure food.” This suit was dismissed due to its “preemptive” nature, and is currently in the appeal process.

Advice on how to safely use mobile banking As mobile banking grows in popularity as a consumer banking service, the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and Palmetto State Bank are offering consumers advice on how to safely use mobile banking so they can be protected while managing their finances.

“Mobile banking, one of the industry’s fastest growing trends, gives our customers flexibility and the chance to manage their finances anytime, anywhere,” said Jeff Gerhart, chairman of ICBA and of Bank of Newman Grove, Neb. “To stay ahead of demand, community banks are investing millions

to secure their banking channels, but consumers need to make informed decisions, while avoiding the scams and schemes that are growing up around this new technology.”

ICBA and Palmetto State Bank offer these tips for consumers on the safe use of mobile banking: 1. Invest in an antivirus application for your mobile device to help protect you when downloading apps or mobile content.

coats and sweaters.

This year, FWDG is kicking off the annual Coat Drive with a special Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Business-After-Hours event Thursday, Nov. 8. Refreshments are being prepared by Summit Place of Beaufort’s Chef Kent.

While admission is free, participants will receive one coupon for each coat, jacket or sweater they donate to the Coat Drive that night. One winning coupon will be drawn for a $250 FWDG gift

certificate, Mark said.

Over the past two decades, FWDG founders Larry and Robyn Mark have shared more than 39,000 gently-used coats with Beaufort County families.

FWDG has once again chosen HELP of Beaufort, Bluffton Self Help and the Deep Well Project on Hilton Head to distribute the donations to families in need — ensuring your donations help local Beaufort County residents.

kudos to the new spanish moss trail

By Lanier Laney

Wow! What fun this is going to be, and what a whole new way to experience Beaufort.

I rode a bike on the first completed section of the new Spanish Moss bike/run/walk Trail from Depot Road to Allison Road, and it’s awesome. Kudos to the visionaries behind this trail, who have carried the dream of this forward past opposition and lack of funds to the completion of the first beautiful segment. Speaking of funds, it’s due to the very generous Kennedy family of Clarendon Plantation that provided the money for this first crucial segment from the James M. Cox Foundation, which donated $567,000. A second grant from the foundation of $600,000 will be awarded if a local match is found. Come on people let’s do this! Go to the website Spanishmosstrail.com for information on how to get involved, fundraisers and the upcoming dedication of the first completed segment on Tuesday, Nov. 20. See you there.

If you’ve been thinking about attending Saturday’s performance but haven’t made up your mind, maybe the following will help — one way or another. Since I’m not familiar with this comparatively new opera, I’ve combined a collection of reviews by a few critics who have already “been there, done that.”

• About the composer. Thomas Ades (pronounced AH-diss) wrote “The Tempest” for a critically acclaimed world premiere in London in 2004. Based on Shakespeare’s play, the libretto — by Meredith Oakes — has been condensed mostly into rhyming couplets sung in modern English. The production and direction is the inspiration of Robert Lepage, best known for his creative leadership of Cirque du Soleil.

Following The Met’s premiere on Oct. 23, here are some headlines that appeared in the following days: Wall Street Journal: “The Realm of Magic at its Imaginative Best”; The New York Times: “An Inspired and Personal ‘Tempest’ Makes Met Debut”; The Associated Press: “Tempest at Met: The Magic’s in the Music”; and Bloomberg News: “Shrieky ‘Tempest’ Finally Washes Up for Met Premier.”

• About Ades’s music: The Associated Press: “A compact piece, barely two hours of music, but profoundly dense and intricate in the way it manages through shifting melody, rhythm and orchestral texture to recreate the world of the play in all its tumult and richness.” The Wall Street Journal: “One of the most compelling new works of recent years, magical in every respect. Mr. Ades has written a work with challenging roles

for singers to relish ... with a powerful cast and authoritative conducting by the composer himself.” The New York Times: “One of the most inspired, audacious and personal operas to have come along in years. At every moment all sorts of complex, subtle things are going on in this music.”

• About Robert Legape: If production concepts matter, consider these quotes about Lepage. The Wall Street Journal: “The concept was consistently illuminating, witty and a match for the music from the very first moment.” The Washington Post: “Lepage is a master of ceremonies rather than a stage director. His strengths are circus-like visual effects.” The New York Times: “Lepage pulls off some striking effects. During the opening storm scene, we see Ariel hoisted and spinning on a chandelier.” The Associated Press: “There are clever touches, to be sure, as well as heavy use of Lepage’s trademark acrobats.”

• The words: Librettist Oakes takes a few hits about her poetry which has been refashioned into rhymed couplets, for the most part. The New York Times: “The constant succession of couplets can grow a little numbing ...

but the text gives shape to Shakespeare’s wondrously confounding plan and stays out of Mr. Ades’s way.” The Associated Press: “Although this occasionally results in doggerel, for the most part it transposes the text into simple, singable verse.” The Washington Post: “Oakes’s libretto is awful!” (Ouch!) An example of the lyrics cited by Variety: “You lie, you whine, you waste my time.”

• Praise for the singers! Beginning with soprano Audrey Luna as Ariel, who must deliver 17 high E’s in her first 19 bars of music. Variety says, “The vocal standout of the evening is Audrey Luna whose entire role is written in such a stratospheric range that one might assume only dogs can hear it.

Not only does she nail every note, she presents such a quivery, highly stylized physical characterization that she seems, appropriately, not of this earth.” The Wall Street Journal: “Luna ... seems to pierce the sound barrier with one of the highest and outrageously difficult arias in the opera repertoire.” The Associated Press: “The astonishing Audrey Luna not only sings all those high D’s, E’s and F’s with aplomb, she also bravely entrusts herself to various harnesses and wires.” Reviewers also praised the charismatic baritone Simon Keenlyside with compliments such as “a grave, volatile and vocally chilling Prospero”; “an opera singer who understands theatrical performance and movement”; and “a performance with somber dignity and strong vocalism.” Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard drew praise from the The New York Times for her “lovely, vocally warm and sympathetic portrayal” of Prospero’s daughter, Miranda.

Lepage turns the island of “The Tempest” into the La Scala opera house in the 18th century with Prospero as its impresario, working his spells on the island of his banishment. Act I looks into the auditorium from the stage; in Act II, we are watching the stage from the audience; and in Act III, the action takes place backstage in the first scene and in the finale, a cross-section of the stage and the house.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy a Saturday afternoon (weather permitting) but are you willing to miss an opera you might later regret? As for myself, I’ll be going. Among many other reasons, I want to hear how they rhyme a couplet matching “daughter” with “loiter.”

Tickets are on sale at the USCB Center for the Arts Box Office at 801 Carteret St., and will be available at the door one hour before the performance.

Adults $20, seniors and OLLI members $16, and students under 18, $10. All seating is assigned. For more information, call Center for the Arts director, Bonnie Hargrove, at 843-5214145 or hargrov@uscb./edu.

With last year’s technology upgrades to the USCB Center for the Arts theater, the larger screen and improved sound will provide an even greater sense of “you are there” to this season’s live performances from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Who was that Misanthrope?

youth orchestra to perform Beaufort Youth Orchestra is holding upcoming concerts and the public is invited to be part of the beauty of music with these young performers.

Beaufort Youth Orchestra is a branch of Beaufort Symphony Orchestra.

Even so, it is a complete orchestra of its own, made up of young musicians from all over Beaufort County. Twice a year, musicians ages 11 to 20 audition for the group. If their skills are advanced enough, they may join the orchestra and meet once a week for rehearsals. After months of juggling school work, extracurricular activities, private practice time and group rehearsals, the young

musicians are ready to weave their craft of orchestrated song for all to hear in their performances.

The first concert will be Wednesday, Nov. 14, in Sun City. The second concert will be on Tuesday, November 20, in the Fellowship Hall at The Parish Church of St. Helena in Beaufort.

Both concerts begin at 7 p.m. The musical selections for this performance series include pieces from “Chicago,” Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, “My Fair Lady” and Dvorak’s New World Symphony.

All concerts are free and open to the public.

Barbershop style quartet entertains around town

Recently, a quartet from the Beaufort Harbormasters called Tidal Fource wandered from floor to floor, room to room, entertaining both the sick and the givers of care at Beaufort Memorial Hospital by singing a variety of songs in barbershop style. This was the second visit this quartet has made to the BMH. Last June they sang 34 times in their twohour visit, this time 30. Songs ranged from typical barbershop oldies “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” to a special a cappella rendition of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” ������������ to traditional Christmas songs.

This visit was organized and guided by Chris Nietert, the hospital’s coordinator of the Healing Arts Program. “You guys

are a gift to the hospital — to the staff as well as the patients,” Chris told the quartet.

“Singing makes people feel better, causing them to focus on something other than their illness.”

The visit to Beaufort Memorial was just one of the many times Tidal Fource and the Beaufort Harbormasters have performed around town. Last year they entertained at the Lions and Rotary clubs, the Republican dinner, Night on the Town and at all the area nursing homes. Recently they sang at the 9/11 ceremony held in the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and at the Naval Ball at Parris Island. Last January, one Sunday afternoon (during the NFL playoffs!) found the chorus at the

Air Base singing for spouses and children of deployed military. Quartets have also

delivered singing Valentines to spouses of deployed servicemen.

The Harbormasters are all volunteers, men who enjoy singing and the camaraderie such an organization offers.

They come from a variety of professions, and rarely have had any training in music.

In addition to singing at rehearsals, each member learns his parts by practicing at home or in the car with special CD’s where his part predominates over the others.

The Beaufort Harbormasters rehearse every Monday evening, 6:45-9 p.m. at the Sea Island Presbyterian Church on Lady’s Island. Men who love to sing are invited to attend. If interested, just show up or give Hal a call at 843-476-0117.

Beaufort Belles select director, hold auditions for new singers

The Beaufort Belles are pleased to announce the selection of their new director, Ginny Martin, who comes to the singing group with extensive barbershop directing and coaching experience.

Ginny attended Sweet Adeline’s School and will share new techniques with the chorus this year as the singers continue to grow and achieve new performance levels. They are also excited to be practicing in their new location at ���������

choir room, 81 Lady’s Island Drive on Lady’s Island, Mondays from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

The Beaufort Belles are a female barbershop chorus who enjoy singing music arranged in traditional four-part harmony. If you like to sing the high notes, the low notes, or the melody in the middle, there will be an open house Monday, Nov. 12, 4:30-6:30 p.m., in the new location. You’ll warm up, sing a few songs, meet the members, and have a

good time. They are currently rehearsing Christmas songs for the upcoming holiday season. In January, they will begin preparing for their annual April show with the Beaufort Harbormasters featuring patriotic music. They also sing at community events, civic group meetings, area assisted living centers and nursing homes, and other venues throughout the year.

Reel women go fish

the world of art, seldom do you hear more profound advice than “paint what you love and it will show in your work,” says local artist and Realtor Wendy Goller of Beaufort. “With that in mind, it was natural for me to paint from the photographs and memories of great saltwater fishing trips.”

Wendy’s art series, Reel Women Go Fish, will be featured at The Gallery, 802 Bay Street, on Saturday, November 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. The public is invited.

As a South Carolina native growing up in Columbia, Wendy earned numerous awards through the Scholastic Art Association. Going on to major in art at the University of South Carolina, she studied painting under renowned artist Phillip Mullen and drawing under illustrator Chris Jones.

Although earning a BFA from USC, Wendy decided to go directly into the restaurant business after college. In 1978 she opened Wendy Ethel’s

Restaurant and Saloon on Columbia’s Main Street. There she met and married former South Carolina Wildlife magazine photographer and S.C. Department of Natural Resources marketing director Jim Goller.

In 1999, Wendy gave up her restaurant career for one in real estate, becoming a successful Realtor and broker.

In 2006 Wendy and Jim moved to the Lowcountry. Jim, retired

from DNR, continued to serve as executive director of the Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund, and Wendy joined a local real estate firm. Establishing themselves in Beaufort, Jim recaptured his love of inshore fishing and photography while Wendy was inspired to become an artist again.

Wendy loves detailing the bountiful and beautiful local marine life of Beaufort County.

way: “My husband brought his love of fishing home and my sense of adventure and excitement made me a willing first mate on his salt water excursions. Moving to Beaufort made fishing with the tides a new way of life and opened up a whole new world to me.

But, it was at the Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series awards ceremony that I first began thinking about painting my own series featuring female anglers. The male-dominated awards were slowly being infiltrated by female anglers.

So, after pouring through photo after photo of women with their catches, my Reel Women Go Fish series was born. It continues to grow as I receive new photos and other inspiration. While I love painting marine wildlife, the best part of my work is capturing the blissful expressions of my ‘reel’ women subjects!”

Case Study: Laura Achurch, competitive tennis player “I’ve been training at Omni Health & Fitness for two years.

“Now, I can run down balls that I never was able to before and am not even tired! My tennis game has really improved. The cross training helps not only with tennis but also with everyday life.

I feel better and sleep better. Exercising is no longer a chore; it’s fun and the results are making a difference in my tennis game and in my life!”

A case of Senioritis

By Grace Stewart

Senioritis: “an ebbing of motivation and effort by school seniors as evidenced by tardiness, absences and lower grades.”

Is it a myth? Coming from a senior, the answer is “No.” Once you step onto that senior turf at school, you immediately want to just stop everything and leave for college/work/military — anything!

From writing that 500 word essay to plugging in your SAT scores, seniors just want to be done with it all and leave Beaufort to move onto bigger and better things. Every one of us yearn to arrive at school next year, wherever it may be, and know that we are now capable of being responsible adults and prepping for college courses on our own.

Coming from a senior at Beaufort Academy, it is a little annoying to hear last year’s visiting graduates talk about how amazing college is and to see all of the pictures they are tagged in on Facebook and Instagram. Don’t get me wrong, we love the class of 2012, but it is that one more year that the class of 2013 has to wait to get to that point.

One benefit of being so close to that grade is having people to talk to about knowing what we need to accomplish in order to survive our first year at college.

I already was reassured from a freshman at Clemson University that AP biology is indeed going to be an asset next year, rather than thinking of it as that tough sixth period class.

To all of the underclassmen out there, believe me when I say that high school will fly by and you will be a senior before you know it. I know that this seems a far off bit of advice, but once you smile for that camera on senior portrait day in August, you will soon come to the realization that the last three years have gone by so quickly. I have a sister in the ninth grade, even she didn’t believe me when I told her this at the beginning of the school year. But as I have gone through my last football game, my last fall dance and my last fall festival over the last past three months, she has seen that she needs to relish each and every day of high school because before she knows it, she’ll start her own parade of “lasts.”

So now what to do? I still have twothirds of the year to go as a senior and it is not until June 1 that I will don my cap and gown and collect my diploma.

As my teachers say, I have to buckle down and “keep on trucking” because colleges can always take away your acceptance if they see that you have been infected with falling grades due to senioritis.

I think for now, I will be in the moment — enjoying the rest of my “lasts” before I move on to a new set of “firsts.”

Grace Stewart is a senior at Beaufort Academy who will be contributing biweekly columns about student life.

surprise! you won a new bicycle

Two students at Lady’s Island Elementary School were surprised during the school’s academic celebration with new bikes. Janyia Wilson, a third grader, and Benjamin Baughman, a fourth grader, bought raffle tickets for the bikes using magic dollars they earned for good behavior. The magic dollars are part of the Positive Behavior Incentive. The Holiday Inn of Beaufort donates two bikes each quarter to the school as incentives for excellent behavior. Lady’s Island Elementary is so thankful for the Holiday Inn’s generosity and their commitment to support Beaufort County Schools.

Second ride, walk, run honors J.T. Pringle Sr. Every once in a while life offers you the friendship of a person so amazing that you are forever changed. It is that exact sentiment that describes the effect that J.T. Pringle Sr. had on everyone who had the distinct pleasure to call him a friend or a family member.

“Reub” as he was affectionately referred to, was a man among men, and it was in his honor that his family hosted the Second Annual J.T. Pringle Sr. Memorial Ride/Walk-Run. More than 100 people came out to the Lady’s Island St. Helena Fire District Headquarters to ride their bike 30 plus miles through St. Helena where Mr. Pringle spent so many years, or walk the 5K from the station to the very home that Reub raised an amazing family and resided until his passing.

It was a very poignant tribute to the man and a terrific message of personal health shared with all who attended.

The day was perfect in weather and rich in love as Rashaard Pringle and Larry Owensby Jr. finished first and second in the run, followed by Ronald Pringle and Pamela Pringle who finished first and second in the walk.

United Way funding helps hospice services With contributions now at 44 percent of the $2.8 million 2012 campaign goal, the United Way of the Lowcountry is well on its way to helping organizations such as Friends of Caroline Hospice help others.

“The mission of Friends of Caroline Hospice is to provide home care and volunteer services that offer hope, encouragement, and care to those who live with a life threatening illness, as well as support for their families, friends, and the community,” said Heidi Owens of the nonprofit hospice.

A $500 contribution to United Way of the Lowcountry pays for one week of in-home care for the terminally ill

by Friends of Caroline Hospice.

“The Coordinated Care Program provides patients and their families and friends the support and tools needed to allow patients to die at home, surrounded by loved ones, as well as bereavement support for families and friends,” Owens said.

“Because our services are free, everyone has equal access so the community benefits. With Medicare and Medicaid initiating hospice cutbacks and a rising population of

A HUGE thanks to Jerod for making our 6 year old computer run like it is brand new again, truly amazing.

We are so pleased with Jerod’s work ethic, patience, vast knowledge & skill. We are proud to have him as our new “computer guy”. ~ Judy Sofias

Growing up in the technology phase such as ours, admitting one is computer-illiterate is a bit embarrassing. But that’s exactly what I am!

When I run into trouble with anything technological, I’m looking for someone that will fix it-not just pay me lip service-that’s exactly what Jerod did! Not only did he fix my laptop, but helped further educate me on the subject that is responsible for so many frustrated outburststechnology! The quality of work was great, the price was very reasonable and Jerod was very easy to work with-everything about the service I received at Digital Remedi made me very happy! ~ Joanna Harmon

lunch bunch Raving about the home-cooked goodness of the new menu at

By Pamela Brownstein

BARBARA JEAN’S

Lunch Bunch was positively thrilled with the plethora of new options presented at Barbara Jean’s Restaurant on Lady’s Island.

Our friendly server started by showing us the new cocktail menu. They all sounded so good, she brought one of each for us to share. The drinks were unique and expertly made; between the Lady’s Island Punch, the Sweet Tea vodka with peach schnapps, the Key Lime martini with a graham cracker crust along the rim of the glass, it was hard to decide because they were all excellent. But the Blackberry Margarita surprised us all and was declared a musthave, if you are in the mood for a drink with lunch or dinner or for happy hour.

For the main course, we were able to sample and share so many delightful dishes. My favorite was the She Crab Soup: big chunks of crab and warm with a kick, perfect for this cooler weather.

Nikki really liked the pot roast baked potato while Kim enjoyed a loaded burger topped with bacon, cheese, onions and mushrooms. Buck also favored the potato soup served with half of a turkey sandwich.

We were also pleased to dine with the

newest member of the Lunch Bunch, Peggy McLenagan, who specializes in sales and advertising. Since her husband is a chef, Peggy knows a lot about good food, and she said the dirty rice with grilled chicken was her favorite dish.

Healthy Elizabeth loved the salad topped with pecan-encrusted chicken, as well as the side of cheesy grits.

After trying so many delicious entrees, it was hard to find room for dessert, but

we were all glad we did because they were incredible. The Key Lime Tart was good, but the standout was the Chocolate Stuff. Once I had a bite of the warm, chocolatey goodness, I didn’t want to share, but I did, and everyone agreed it was heavenly.

Although Barbara Jean’s is featuring new items, they still serve their classics including the popular crab cakes and chicken fried chicken.

This restaurant is one of my family’s favorite. Every time I eat here I have an enjoyable experience, and this time was no exception; I highly recommend it.

Barbara Jean’s is located at 47 Ferry Road, on Lady’s Island, Beaufort, and open for lunch and dinner Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call 843-524-2400 or visit www. barbarajeans.com.

wine & food

Red Wine Revue

By Celia Strong

Last week’s revue about white wines was so much fun. For me, at least, because I got to remember some really special wines and think about drinking them for Thanksgiving. (Actually, fun but hard. It is truly hard to pick just 10 to review.) I know the drinking part is the most fun, but the thinking and savoring and anticipating aren’t bad. For sure, this week’s revue of red wines will be just as fun. Again, they’ll be by grape, alphabetically, then the blends.

1. Gamay: Beaujolais Nouveau from France. (Gamay is the grape for this wine, we just don’t mention it a lot.) The new Beaujolais is the first wine released each year of the new vintage. Or, that was the claim before we all started drinking Southern Hemisphere wines.

Anyhow, the Nouveau is released, by French national wine law, on the third Thursday of November. That means that every year it comes the week before Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November. Special allowances let it fly all over the world to sell on that day also. This is really a celebratory wine, so it’s perfect for our Thanksgiving. And, because it is so light and young and fresh, we serve it slightly chilled. We’ll have three different Nouveaux this year.

Not sure of their prices, yet, but no more than $15.

• Grenache, in rose form, Chateau de Campuget from France: This is the perfect wine for ham. Remember the rule — if it’s red meat with red wine and white meat with white wine, then, obviously, it’s pink meat with pink wine.

This chateau is located very close to the Provence area in southern France.

Provence is known for their great rose wines, but slip outside the area a bit, and the wines don’t cost nearly as much.

Serve this wine, and other dry roses, chilled. Fruity but very crisp also, this

wine will make you a convert. And your ham will taste better! At $10.99.

3. Malbec: Antigal Uno from Argentina. You might remember this bottle — the big bronze metal number one on the front of the bottle. Smooth but still structured with good tannins.

Plum, dark red fruit flavors, hints of cocoa and spice, a perfect pairing with a drumstick and dressing and green bean casserole. And let’s not forget all the other game birds — this wine goes with all of them. For $13.99.

4. Malbec: Mountain Door, also from Argentina. This one is totally different from the Uno. Smoother, milder, just a much softer style of the grape. As easy drinking as this Malbec is, it’s a great crowd pleaser. And still goes great with all the food. And, it’s smoother and milder on your budget so you can get an extra bottle or two so everyone stays happy. None of want an unhappy crowd at our house, do we?

For $8.99.

5. Pinot Meunier: From Chandon in California. Pinot Meunier is a cousin to Pinot Noir, very similar flavors but fuller bodied and more pronounced. (This is one of my favorite red Pinots, but almost any Pinot Noir you like will work with turkey.) Pinot Meumier is one of the three grapes that make Champagne. No bubbles here, but one tremendous wine. You may remember the first time we talked about this wine. I told you a story about one taster one time declaring this wine was better than sex. Hmmmm? Now do you remember the story? And how good the

wine is? And still the same $22.99 it was years ago.

6. Zinfandel: From Decoy, California.

In case you don’t know, Decoy is a label from Duckhorn, in Napa, so this wine’s pedigree is excellent. Big flavors of black fruits and black pepper, smooth but not wimpy texture. Red Zinfandels, almost any of them again, make good matches for holiday dinners In addition, it’s a nice choice because, as a wine, it is mostly an American phenomenon and Thanksgiving is an American holiday. An obvious good reason to choose a red Zin. Decoy is my number one favorite. For $19.99.

7. Cavas de Crianza: From Argentina. Seems we’ve found a lot of good Argentine wines for our holiday.

This one is a blend of 40 percent Malbec, 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 30 percent Merlot. Cavas, for short, has always been one of my “go to “ bottles for chicken and seafood dinners; Thanksgiving turkey is just as good with it. The best thing about this wine is how smooth its texture is. Perfect for sipping the whole day long. (Unfortunately, though, this will be the last season we’ll be able to get this wine. Issues with the importer, I think.) So, we have to enjoy it again while we can! For $19.99.

8. Dogajolo Red: From Tuscany, Italy.

The red “brother” to the white Dog we had on our white list. Still from the same Chianti winery, mostly Sangiovese with some Cabernet Sauvignon. And, as with the white, a different version of the olive tree branches for the label. My thinking is, for this holiday, a red and white can be more useful. Especially for larger groups because you’ll never get it right with just one color choice. For the couple of years that we’ve had this pair of wines, we have all been very happy them in our glasses and with how they’ve looked together on the table. (Appearances can be very important, you know!) For $12.99.

9. Guenoc Victorian Claret: From Lake County, California. Remember the story about the British actress 150 years or so ago? Moved to San Francisco to perform there, bought a ranch in Lake County and the rest is history? And remember how Judge Roy Bean, played

by Paul Newman in the movie, was infatuated with her. And the winery still uses her picture on their label? Many of us have been enjoying this wine for some time now. Claret is the old British name for Bordeaux reds, and this wine is a blend of the five red varieties used in Bordeaux — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Want some good news?

Last time we talked about this wine the price was higher. Now, it’s yours for $9.99.

10. Parallel 45: Cotes du Rhone Red, from Southeastern France. Again, a red choice to go with one of last week’s whites. Red Rhone wines are blends, mostly Grenache with bits of Syrah (the French name for Shiraz), Mourvedre, and several other varieties that grow in the area. This is a medium body wine, mellow and smooth, with layers of red fruit flavors (cherries, raspberries), bits of earth and leather and, if you can find it, licorice. Again, a matched pair of bottles always looks nice on the table.

For $9.99.

Well, that’s 10 reds. I’ll just bet as soon as this is printed I’ll remember a couple of more that I should have included. I already have two or three whites I left off last week. (To help you not miss any because of me, I’ve got a scratch pad going in the stockroom.) On the other hand, if 20 favorites are enough for you to try, you should have several nice evenings of tasting before the big dinner.

Maybe just use an assortment of your favorites for our dinner. You can because it’s yours. Enjoy!

the home chef ... serves Sedona White Corn Tortilla Soup

By Harlene Deane

This recipe for Sedona White Corn Tortilla Soup is adapted from The California Pizza Kitchen Cookbook and has been a family favorite for years.

See the chef ’s notes at the end for timesaving tips. Makes 6-8 servings.

INGREDIENTS • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 1 1/2 seven-inch corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch squares

• 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic* • 2 tablespoons minced white onion • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper • 1 pound white corn kernels** • 1 1/2 pounds chopped, ripe red tomatoes*** • 1/3 cup tomato paste • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin • 1 tablespoon kosher salt • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder • 1 1/2 cups water • 1 quart chicken stock • Blue corn tortilla chips (garnish)

• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (garnish) • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (garnish) DIRECTIONS 1. Over medium-high heat, fry tortilla squares in oil until they begin to crisp and turn a golden yellow. Add garlic, onion and jalapeno; cook 1 to 2 minutes, until onion becomes translucent. Add half the corn along with all other ingredients (except garnishes), reserving other half of corn to be added at the end. Bring the soup to a low, even boil. Boil for 5 minutes.

2. Remove soup from heat. Use an immersion blender or food processor to process in batches to the consistency of a coarse puree.

3. Return the soup to the burner and add

the reserved corn. Bring to a boil being careful to avoid scorching or burning.

4. Serve, garnished with blue corn tortilla chips, cilantro and sharp cheddar cheese. *no time? Use minced garlic in the jar.

Seminole is my favorite and is available at Publix. **Frozen white corn is another time saver.

No need to thaw. Can also use yellow corn. ***Pomi chopped tomatoes in the box is a great substitute for fresh.

Prep your ingredients ahead of time. Put the minced garlic, onion and jalapeno in one small bowl. Then put the spices in another small bowl. Measure out the remaining ingredients separately, then all you have to do is add them according to the recipe.

Have fun!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol

What’s your dosha? The Vata Dog

By Tracie Korol

An ancient Indian practice, Ayurvedic medicine is a holistic form of healing that is equally a form of treatment and a philosophy. Ayurveda touts the importance of overall balance and equilibrium to ensure proper health.

The idea is that, if your body is perfectly balanced and your constitution is fundamentally strong, no illness or other negative health conditions can enter your system. Practitioners of Ayurveda generally view wellness in three categories, or doshas.

Vata is considered the leader of the three Ayurvedic Principles (dosha) in the body. Vata governs all movement in the mind and body. Think of things that move in a body — blood flow, breathing, elimination of wastes plus the passage of thoughts across the mind. The related elements are Air and Ether.

You may have a Vata dog if he/she is/ has: • Mentally quick • Highly intelligent

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www. wholedog.biz.

• Quick to learn and grasp new ideas, but also quick to forget • Slender, light on her paws — the lightest of the three body types • Runs and walks quickly • Uncomfortable in the cold, often with cold paws • Excitable, lively with a fun personality • Moody and changeable • No daily routine • Variable appetite and digestive efficiency • High energy in short bursts but with tendency to tire easily and to overexert • Full of joy and enthusiasm when in balance

• Fearful, worried and anxious when out of balance • Impulsive • Often distracted easily • Dry skin and dry fur Dogs of Vata constitution are generally physically slender and smallframed — think Greyhound, Whippet or Miniature Pinscher. Their chests are flat with their veins and muscle tendons visible. Their skin is cool, rough, dry and cracked.

Vata pets generally are either taller or shorter than average, with thin frames that reveal prominent joints and bone-ends because of small muscle development. The eyes may be in-set, small, dry, and yet active. The nails are rough and brittle. The shape of the nose is bent and in some cases turned-up.

Physiologically, the appetite and digestion are variable. The production of urine is scanty and the feces are dry, hard, and small in quantity. Their sleep may be disturbed and they will sleep less than the other types. Their paws are often cold.

Psychologically, Vata dogs are characterized as having quick mental understanding but poor memories. They will understand something immediately — “oh, sure! Pee outside!” but will soon forget —“Oops! My bad.” They sometimes lack determination, tend toward mental instability, and are sensitive to and respond well to tolerance and confidence. Vata pets are nervous, fearful at times, and afflicted by much anxiety.

Typical health problems include hypertension, earaches, anxiety, irregular heart rhythms, muscle spasms, lower back pain, constipation, abdominal gas, diarrhea, nervous stomach and arthritis.

Most neurological disorders are related to Vata imbalance.

Vata dogs run cool and dry and should avoid beans, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, and potatoes. Feed them warming foods such as beef, carrots and all squashes.
