Kids trade gifts for chance to give back

F
or 8-year-old Abigail Henry and 9-year-old Jack McDougall, the opportunity to give back to the community outweighed the traditional celebration that accompanies a child’s birthday. When they had their birthdays recently, they decided to do something more than just have cake and ice cream. Instead of seeing how many presents they could get, these extraordinary children decided to help out other people instead.

Suspect arrested in vehicle break-ins A Beaufort teen has been arrested in connection with multiple vehicle break-ins on Lady’s Island. Eighteen-year-old Jeremy Walter Gilliland, wanted on 13 counts of Breaking into a Motor Vehicle, turned himself into investigators on October 2. Gilliland has been connected to a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred recently in several Lady’s Island neighborhoods. Gilliland was initially identified when a resident in Spanish Moss came out of his home early morning Sunday, Oct. 6, for a run and discovered Gilliland rummaging through his vehicle. The victim confronted Gilliland, who fled the scene. Deputies were able to locate Gilliland a short distance away. Gilliland was positively identified and placed under
arrest on four counts of Breaking into a Motor Vehicle. He was released from jail on Monday morning, Oct. 7. As multiple reports of vehicle Jeremy break-ins had been Gilliland fielded throughout the neighborhoods of Spanish Moss, Southern Magnolia, and Marsh Hawk Plantation, investigators worked to connect the incidents. A search warrant conducted on Gilliland’s 2001 Chevy S-10 yielded evidence placing Gilliland in vehicles in each of these communities. In each of these incidents, Gilliland made entry to unlocked vehicles, stealing various
items of opportunity such as cash and small electronics. Investigators were able to secure 13 additional warrants for Gilliland leading to his re-arrest. To date, Gilliland has been charged in 17 vehicle break-ins, however, the investigation into his possible involvement in other recently reported Lady’s Island vehicle break-ins remains active. Additional charges may be sought pending the results of forensic evidence analysis. While it is also suspected that Gilliland was not working alone, no other suspect(s) have been identified at this time. Anyone with information is asked to contact either Investigator Cpl. A. Zsamar at 843-255-3408 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372).

news briefs Suspects arrested in armed robbery
Four teens have been arrested in connection with an assault and armed robbery that occurred Friday, Sept. 27. Geoni Najee Clark, 16, of Dale was arrested yesterday afternoon and is being charged as an adult with Armed Robbery and 1st degree Assault and Battery by Mob. Clark’s co-defendants, two 15-year-old males and a 14-yearold male, were also arrested and have been transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia. They will face the same charges as Clark, however, will be tried as juveniles through Family Court. All four teens were identified as the suspects who attacked a 57-yearold male as he was walking home at Seabrook Mobile Home Park on the night of September 27. The victim reported that he was walking to his home on Martin Lane when the suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun, approached him. The suspects demanded money, but when the victim told them he did not have any, they punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The suspects continued to punch and kick the victim several times before taking his EBT card and cigarette lighters. The suspects then fled the area.
New Tax Equalization Board to hear appeals
The Beaufort County Tax Equalization Board is set to resume conferences with taxpayers challenging their assessed property values. In February, conferences with Beaufort
County taxpayers were suspended due to administrative staffing changes of the prior board. Since this time, county officials sought to improve the efficiency of the appeal process and solicited new members to serve on the Tax Equalization Board to increase the total number of board members. The new board consists of 15 members from across the county whereas the prior board was made up of 7 members. The new board will also be able to split into multiple conference panels to maximize the number of cases that can be heard in any given month. “The restructuring of the board is going to significantly expedite the process of conducting these conferences,” said County Attorney Josh Gruber. The conferences will take place in Beaufort Council Chambers and at the Hilton Head Beaufort Government Center South on October 30 to accommodate taxpayers who live both North and South of the Broad River.
Historic District earns national recognition
Beaufort’s well-preserved and well-protected National Landmark Historic District earned another distinction: The American Planning Association named it one of “10 Great Neighborhoods.” The planning organization’s Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planning and planners play in adding value to communities, including fostering economic growth and jobs, according to APA Chief Executive Officer Paul Farmer, FAICP. Beaufort’s 304-acre historic district was recognized for its well-preserved
architecture, sustainable design, natural features and focus on planning. The neighborhood’s beauty and history engender a strong sense of place — and even stronger sense of community. “For more than 300 years, Beaufort has maintained a remarkable and renowned ‘hometown’ feeling and character that have always been anchored in the Historic District,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “For a lot of those years I think many who live here have taken it for granted. It wasn’t until the 1970s that a small group of determined people took a stand to protect Beaufort’s history. “Today, their hard work, and the hard work of hundreds of others since then, is paying off. Not only is the Beaufort Historic District a ‘Top 10 Great Neighborhood,’ but it’s also an essential part of what keeps Beaufort living and growing. It’s not a museum, it’s a living neighborhood and functioning community,” he said. Defining the Beaufort Historic District neighborhood are not only scenic vistas and outstanding architecture, some of which dates to Colonial times, but also important planning principles. These principals include precedents that defined the district upon its inception in 1711, and contemporary practices such as formbased zoning, the APA noted.

Learning as we grow By Martha O’Regan
This whole Earth School is a trip don’t you think? This place where we show up every day to learn how to navigate life with its day to day ups and downs and “ooops, human moments” — all without a 15 pound textbook to reference whenever a new life experience shows up that lacks a previous orientation. Instead of a textbook, every experience still gets stored in the “brain book” with its various chapters, resources, vocabulary words and table of contents for easy retrieval for purposes of our growth and survival. Then, there are our personal report cards which reveal how we’ve done up to now; full of stars, smiley faces, letter grades, some “goods” and “excellents,” along with the frowney faces, red marks, “needs improvements” or “unsatisfactory.” And, what about all the great teachers — each person in our life who shows up right on schedule to either bushwhack us, gently guide us with great advice or an encouraging word, or allow us to try

on different personalities or reactions just for size. Our teachers are children, adults, friends, enemies, relatives, folks through school, church, jobs or the grocery store, and even our pets. Each one in service to our growth and evolution — even the ones who taught in ways we wish they hadn’t. As a matter of fact, those are often our greatest teachers — the ones who made us dig even deeper to find our courage or strength or to learn how to feel compassion or empathy. Take a moment to close your
eyes and allow your mind to recall as many of those teachers and life experiences as you can, letting them just zip through like a movie, going back as far as you can, and without judgment or labeling. Notice how you feel in your body, not what your emotions are, but what your physical body is revealing in this moment. Is there an area that just got tighter? Did you experience a new or increased area of pain? If so, take another moment to sit up straight, take in a big “chubby belly” breath, then slowly exhale it towards the area of tension or pain, allowing the air to completely empty, and repeat several times. There is no need to figure out which memory activated the tension but if a particular one reveals itself, take another moment to consider what that experience taught you or perhaps seeing your teacher through a new lens as you remember that they were in Earth School too, learning as they grew also without the handbook. When we can be in non-judgmental observation of those folks, recognizing
that they are doing the best they know to do based on their personal experiences and teachers, it can reduce our own angers or hurts exponentially. Try that idea on for size and see how it feels. We all came into this life exactly the same, yet each with our own curriculum, navigating our way through the bumper car experience, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, who has our back and who needs to use us for their own power, or how to love and be loved, all the while seeking the path on our intended life journey with grace and ease. Moving forward, hopefully we can take the wisdom gained so far and find ways to apply it for good, both for self and others, filling up the blank boxes and lines in our life report card with higher marks and more “job well dones” than when we were just starting out. The good news is that we have never failed or will fail any aspect of Earth School as long as we learn the lesson of the experience. And, if we are still learning, then we are still growing. This Earth School is a trip. Live Well ... Have Fun!

I got the power
By Martha Cooper-Hudson
Thank you to all the amazing people who have emailed me about how my articles this past month have touched them, especially the article last week on Taunya Green that inspired the reader to continue pushing and never giving up, no matter what. What I write comes from my passion and my purpose on this planet, and as I continue to aspire to inspire millions of people on this planet, why not start in the city I have called home for 15 years, Beaufort, South Carolina. Which leads me to this week’s article simply titled “I got the power.” Are you living the life you really want to live? Do you know exactly what the kind of life you would want to live is? Do you realize that you have the power to create your own life? More likely than not, your answer to the first question is “no” and to the second question your answer is “yes.” I would challenge you, however, and say that it is more probable that you are not living the life you want and that, in fact, you have only a vague idea what kind of life you really want. In 97 percent of cases, I would be right because it has been shown time and again that only 3 percent of any given population will excel in any given circumstances. Part of the reason for this is that only a handful of people actually take the time to plan and create their ideal life. It often strikes me as strange how many of us are so organized and diligent when it comes to studying at school or performing well at work, yet we are so terrible at excelling at the most important thing of all — our lives! Let me give you an example. Most of us know the value of planning at our work places. In fact, we are probably
4
very good at it and maybe even take the lead in planning at work. We make plans as to what we want to achieve during a certain period; we analyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; we make strategic plans and implementation plans and budgets and a lot of other things. It’s tedious work at times, but we do it anyway because we know that without these plans our companies or organizations would fail to achieve good results. Then we knock off and go home and, unfortunately, leave our brains at work. Somehow, what we do at work doesn’t seem to apply any more. We just lay back and hope for a better life to magically appear. No plans. No time frames. No budgets. No targets. No written goals. It is no wonder so many people are brilliant at their careers and yet miserable failures when it comes to their personal lives. We do not apply our knowledge and expertise to our own lives. You must plan your life with much more care and attention than you would plan your business and your work. Stop living by waiting on chance and luck to make you happy, rich or healthy. If most of us put just half the effort we put into our jobs into planning our lives we would be amazed at the difference that would make. You can take that first step of creating the life you want right now. How? You must create it in your mind. Mohandas K. Ghandi said very truthfully that “a man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks, that he becomes.” Imagine for a moment that you have lost your memory. You have forgotten who you are and everything you have or don’t have. You know nothing about yourself. You now have a great
the island news | october 10-16, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com
opportunity to recreate yourself! Money is no object. You have all the resources you need at your disposal. There are no restrictions. You can make your Martha new life whatever you Cooperwant it to be. Hudson Who are you? What do you do? Where do you live? What car do you drive? What clothes do you wear? Who are your friends? How do you spend your time? What is your purpose in life? In whose life are you making a difference? Create a detailed picture in your mind of what you want to be. Let your imagination go wild. Don’t hold back anything. Don’t regard anything as impossible. Just fill your mind with all the possibilities. Don’t be vague about it, be specific. If you did this simple exercise, you should be feeling very excited right now. As lunatic as it may sound, the truth is you are free to create the life you want at any time you choose. The power to create has been yours all along. Here is one little secret though: write it down. Writing this mental picture of who you want to be is important because writing things down gives power and permanence to your thoughts. You can refer to what you’ve written and modify it until you have perfected the vision. Writing it down will also help you when it comes to remembering the vision for your life. As you read it every day it will become imprinted on your mind until you will be able to think and say it without referring to the written version. Then and only then will it become a
part of you. This vision will completely take over your mind. Once that happens, you’ll find ways to achieve what you’ve thought and your environment will be forced to align itself with this new found vision. One thing is for sure: The past is dead and gone. We can’t go back there. The future is the only thing we have control over. Right here and right now is the only time we have that control. Don’t put it off until tomorrow. Start right now to create the life you want in your mind and don’t forget to write it down. Think about it every day and every waking hour until it becomes a part of you. Why should you bother? Because, as Earl Nightingale put it, “every day we put in place actions and ideas that will determine the shape and substance of our lives.” Someone sent me this quote the other day: “We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built.” How true. How sad. Build your life with the care and effort it deserves. Don’t live your life with no direction and no hope. You can create that perfect life. You can dream big, and your dreams can come true. You are all you can be. Go on and be it!

continued from page 1 “Women are so busy taking care of their friends and families, they often neglect their own health needs,” said Emily Harris, who is helping coordinate the event for BMH. “We’re providing them with a blueprint they can use to build their own healthy lifestyle.” The “blueprint” theme is in keeping with this year’s venue — the unfinished second floor of the new Beaufort Memorial Medical and Administrative Center located across the main hospital campus at 990 Ribaut Road.

“We’ll give the construction setting a feminine touch with plenty of sparkle,” Harris said. “To add to the fun, we’ll be handing out beads and bling for participating in our games.” Among the annual favorites is the cornhole “Tata Toss.” Participants will be asked to answer true or false to questions related to breast care by throwing a small pink bean bag into one of the two holes marked “myth” or “fact.” The breast care station also will include breast models that will be used to teach women how to perform monthly breast self-exams. They’ll be invited to feel a “normal” breast and one with a simulated lump so they will know what to look for when they check their own bodies. At the digestive health station, registered dieticians will use

demonstrations to talk about the nutritional differences between juicing and smoothies. Health experts also will be on hand to answer questions about fad diets, food allergies and digestive conditions like lactose and gluten intolerance. The third station will feature active lifestyle alternatives. An interactive chart will allow participants to determine what kind of exercises they are most likely to enjoy based on their personality. Throughout the evening, participants will be able to talk with internal medicine specialists, make appointments for mammograms and sign up for membership to Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center.

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. 6

Does it matter that we invested in the latest cancer technology?
It does to Catherine Salkowitz, who didn’t have to take time from her favorite activities to travel for breast cancer treatment. Instead she turned to the Keyserling Cancer Center, where a new, state-of-the-art linear accelerator ensured the latest and best in radiation therapy. And our affiliation with Duke Medicine means that all Keyserling patients benefit from Duke’s top-rated cancer care – close to home.

CATCH OF THE WEEK
Kit Bruce holds up her recent big catch.
HELP
continued from page 1 On Abigail’s 6th birthday in 2011, she decided to ask all her guests to bring food for the needy instead of presents for herself. She collected a huge amount of food and donated it to HELP of Beaufort. Since that day, she has come to HELP to assist in sorting clothes and food, and to help out in any way she can. Jack McDougall also celebrated his birthday recently and he decided to do the same thing. These two children did not know each other, but had the same plan — to help the less fortunate. In addition, Jack took the extra money he received for his birthday and went with his mother, Shawn McDougall, to purchase more food. She decided to match Jack’s funds and doubled his amount to purchase even more food. Jack is also looking forward to coming to HELP to assist in any way he can. Steve Curless, president of HELP of Beaufort, said these two children are an example for all of us. “It takes so little to touch a life. We want to not only thank Abigail and Jack for their kindness and generosity, but to also commend their parents, Amy and Brian Henry, and Shawn and Lin McDougall. They are exceptional parents who strive to teach their children that there is so much more to life than just birthday parties and gifts,” Curless said. For more information about the local nonprofit food bank, call 843-252-2710 or email helpofbft@centurylink.net.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
‘this is me, take it or leave it’ BEAUTY & THE BUSINESS
with Candice Glover By Takiya La’Shaune Smith
With the ease of a seasoned speaker, the complete grace of Southern charm and the friendly warmth of the girl next door, American Idol winner Candice Rickelle Glover is way more than just the girl next door. Her humble demeanor, positive attitude and friendly banter would make even the most socially inept individual comfortable to be in her presence. Her bubbly, expressive tones are reminiscent of two girlfriends’ chitter chatter on any given day, and her laughter is just as welcoming as the soothing, sultry sound of her voice — a voice that was destined to be heard, even and long after she was indirectly told that it should be silenced. “During Season 9 of Idol, Simon basically told me that I wasn’t going to be anything,” Candice said. That being three seasons ago and in the not-so distant past, Candice speaks positively of what the potentially negative experience did for her: “I took that into the next year as something that would help me, and I kept it with me as motivation all the way through Season 12.” Her offered words of encouragement not only speak mounds to the masses but helped her in her personal journey as she shares with others the ambition to “take negativity as motivation and let it help you instead of hurt you.” Growing up as “a bit of a tomboy,” Candice played kickball and football with the boys. She describes herself as a fun-loving person, and credits her parents for teaching her this real, downto-earth, relatable side. Now a role model to many young girls and women worldwide, Candice states that “it’s an honor that people would ever say that they want to be like me ... I feel that they are connecting with the fun-loving side as well as the humble person my parents have raised me to be.” Candice speaks of her three year journey in which she transformed from “literally just a girl who could sing” into a woman who “came into her own.” “It didn’t happen overnight, but it happened.” In sharing the less glamorous and judgmental views of the public, online throughout the world and while on television, Candice said that staying true to herself was what she determined and set out to do. Quickly embracing those who embraced her, Candice reveals that she was never under the scrutiny of the producers, judges or those on the show,

Beauty Q&A with American Idol Winner Candice Glover Takiya La’Shaune Smith: What is your absolute beauty must-have? Candice Glover: One thing I have to have is my eyelashes! I can do my full face of makeup but if I don’t have my eyelashes then my face will feel completely naked. There’s just something pretty about eyelashes and how they make your eyes pop! Your eyes are one of the first things people see when they look at you and that you want to be noticeable. Takiya La’Shaune Smith: What are you most comfortable wearing, whether traveling or performing? Candice Glover: I’m most comfortable in a blazer or jacket and jeans. I’m not really into dresses, and during the Idol Tour we bought a $500 gold sequined dress only to have it cut and tailored into a blazer to stand out and be true to myself. Takiya La’Shaune Smith: If you had to choose, beauty quick pick only one: lip gloss, mascara, nail polish or concealer? Candice Glover: I would feel weird if I have on concealer and no gloss. I can do without mascara or polish, so it would be between concealer and lip gloss. I would have to go with lip gloss!
and was never told to lose weight or look a certain way. Against public pressure and formulated opinions, Candice said, “I stayed true to who I was and didn’t try to fit in.” With a clear message, Candice learned from her earlier mistakes of attempting to appease others by “trying to look like a star. I went over the top and it wasn’t genuine.” She said, “There is no certain way that you have to look to be in the public eye. No matter who you are or what you do, that should touch people’s hearts.” February 18, 2014, is the scheduled release date of her much-anticipated album, Music Speaks. Candice speaks passionately about its first released single, “I Am Beautiful,” an inspirational and self-motivating song that lets us know that who we are, individually, is more than enough. Written by songwriter Jaden Michaels, Candice said she is “proud of the song” as she worked with
the island news | october 10-16, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com
Michaels on Idol during weekly visits to give her personal input, influence and experience about what she wanted her music to do. “All girls go through not feeling good or pretty enough ... every girl at a young age can relate to liking a boy and feeling rejection,” Candice shares of her own personal experiences. Now being older and wiser, Candice realizes “people are going to form their opinions” about everything from “how I wore my hair and how I dressed.” She said people feel that their opinion is fact. “The simple fact is that I knew I had a gift to share with the world, I realized I wasn’t perfect, but I was like this is me, take it or leave it!” Overcoming initial discouragement, Candice held strong to “being true to who I am, instead of someone else.” When asked to leave a final empowering thought on the hearts and minds of not only women worldwide, but specifically and especially to friends,
sisters, mothers, daughters, aunts and women of her hometown of St. Helena Island, Candice said, “We shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves regarding beauty and realize that beauty is not what we think it is. I was told that my skin is too dark, my nose is weird, I’m not small enough ... you have to feel beautiful before anyone else thinks you are. Love yourself before anyone else can. Love yourself and be comfortable in who you are. It took me a long time to realize this, but I know it now. Realize that the talents you have and who you are, no one can take that away.” Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash & Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Foundation surprises teachers with cash grants Surprised by balloons and oversized checks, 16 Beaufort County public school teachers from 12 schools learned recently that they had won Innovative Teacher Grants from the Foundation for Educational Excellence, a fund of the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. The 16 grants announced ranged from $115 to $500 and totaled more than $5,300. Foundation officials visited teachers’ classrooms to deliver the news in person. “We’re privileged to recognize and reward teachers who approach their work in such creative ways,” said Peggy May, the foundation’s chair. “The big
winners, of course, are the students who benefit from these innovative classroom projects.” The application that garnered the highest score from the judges came from St. Helena Elementary School teacher Eve Weaver, whose “Magnificent Magnetic Math” project was awarded the Dr. Valerie Truesdale Innovative Teacher Grant of $500. The Foundation for Educational Excellence Fund was established in 2007, and the first grants were awarded in 2009. The primary function of the foundation is to raise funds for teacher grants that spur innovation. Grants of up to $500 are awarded twice each
year, and thousands of students have benefitted since 2009. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Innovative Teacher Grants (fall awards cycle) were awarded to these teachers in schools north of the Broad River: • Kathryn Glaze (Shanklin Elementary): “The Science of Leadership,” $257.17 • Helen Goodman (Okatie Elementary): “Read More Non Fiction,” $497.61 • Danielle Hunt (Okatie Elementary, ELA): “A Bird’s-Eye View,” $121 • Lynda Jernigan and Renee Roberts (Coosa Elementary): “All About Content: Connecting Content and

Last week, Bridges Prep KITE-LL Spanish students built an origami “barco de papel” (paper boat). The Spanish immersion teacher, Señora Josefina, introduced land forms to students in third, fourth and fifth grades, including water masses. Origami building is a way to integrate the arts into STEM curriculum, and a revealing activity for the students, who honed in their attention and motor skills, while applying observation, self-reflection and self-correction techniques to their work. KITE-LL — which stands for Kids Interacting Through Early Language Learning — is a full immersion foreign language program that aligns with SC State standards for science and social studies. examinations: Students in Beaufort County had mixed results on state tests administered at the end of key high school courses in 2013, according to results released by the South Carolina Department of Education.

the indie film corner: ‘austenland’ The Indie film “Austenland” will be shown at USCB Center for the Arts on Monday, October 14 at 7 p.m. Directed by Jerusha Hess, this film stars Keri Russell, JJ Feild, Bret McKenzie, Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Seymour, James Callis, Georgia King, Rupert Vansittart and Ricky Whittle “Austenland” is a lively romantic comedy about a 30-something, single Jane Hayes (Keri Russell), a seemingly normal young woman with a secret: her unhealthy obsession with all things Jane Austen. Desperately seeking her own Mr. Darcy, Jane sinks her life savings into a trip to England to stay at an Austen-themed manor ruled by Mrs. Wattlesbrook ( Jane Seymour) where everything is Austen, including
the actors who court the lady visitors with decorous dalliance. Unfortunately, Jane could only afford the cut price package, so she finds herself drably costumed as a poor relation and relegated to flirting with the servants, notably the cute and approachable groom Martin (Bret McKenzie, “Flight of the Conchords”). Russell, earnest in Austen awe and game for the send-up, brings sparkle to the comedy as the woman who gets more than she bargained for when she tries to live her fantasy. USCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street Beaufort SC. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call the box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.
‘One for the Road’ with actor-playwright Bill Patton Lust vs. Love. Faith vs. Doubt. Racism vs. Freedom. “One for the Road” is about an actor contemplating his own fate. “I am terrified,” he says, “by the knowledge that one day I will lose the ability to choose.” In the course of trying to be sure he has filled the “vessel of his humanity” sufficiently, he summons his own departed spirit, and together they consider the conflicts of his life in order to determine whether the demons and dragons have been conquered to the extent that he feels free to walk through the dark door into the light. The play
was written by actor Bill Patton, who lives on St. Helena Island, and directed by Paul Nicholas. Unlike some a u t o b i o g ra p h i c a l works, “One for the Bill Road” is sincere and Patton engaging, without being self-absorbed. In contemplating his death, he glides right over the night he sipped bourbon with the late, great Tennessee Williams, but spares no detail in revisiting the skeletons in his
closet. Patton’s humility throughout is infectious and he enthralls the audience with his charismatic confessions and incredibly diverse history. “Patton’s candor and humor create a compelling intimacy with his audience as he spins out a highlight reel of Billy’s checkered existence. This lengthy confession becomes another way of saying that life is much too important to take all that seriously,” wrote the Charleston City Paper. As a former football player for the Charleston High School Bantams, Bill Patton is rooted in the Lowcountry. He
is the author of four plays and for the past decade, Patton has been a director and acting instructor in theater programs in Charleston, and in Alexandria and Richmond, Va. Bill Patton performs “One for the Road” in the black box theater at ARTworks, at 7:30 p.m. October 25 and 26, and at 3 p.m. October 27. Tickets are $17 per person, $12 for students (13+), $7 for children (12 and under) and $12 for groups of 10 or more. For more information, contact 843-379-2787, www.artworksinbeaufort.org, or visit 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, S.C.

wine
Back to the beginning in Argentina By Celia Strong
Well, we all do begin somewhere so for our wine this week, we are going to look in on another country’s beginning by learning some history and a grape variety. As we learn and study and taste, we are given a special opportunity to add pieces to ourselves, from other people and places and things (meaning wines), and maybe make it all a part of each of us. I’m thinking we end up a lot better and happier. So, put on your travel shoes and let’s go to Argentina. Sure, we’ve looked at Argentina before, but it’s been a while. Argentina is the fifth largest wine producing country in the world. Vine cuttings were introduced there during the Spanish colonization in 1557. The largest wine producing provinces are Mendoza, San Juan and La Rioja, followed by Salta (the highest elevation vineyards in the world are located here), Catamarca, Río Negro and Southern Buenos Aires, the four latter being newer areas. Mendoza, with almost 630,000 acres of vines, produces about 60 percent of the total wine of Argentina. As the wine industry develops and grows in Argentina, appellations within Mendoza, and the other provinces, are being established. In 1993, the Mendoza sub-region of Luján de Cuyo was the first. And, it was followed shortly by other sub-regions like the Uco Valley and Tupungato. This is worth noting, partly because it signifies the diversity of wines that can come from just this one province, but, in accepting that diversity, we now get to taste and learn where our favorite Argentine wines come from. Like any other appellation, any where in the wine making world, specific appellations are noted on their wines’ labels. And, yes, probably, reflected in their costs. Anyhow, I mention this because the Uco Valley is on our label for this week’s wine. ( Just FYI, it may also appear in Spanish: “Valle de Uco.”) This sub-region is located along the Tunuyán River, southwest of the city of Mendoza. It is a high elevation region, averaging 2,900 feet to 3,900 feet above sea level. (The vineyards way up in Salta are mostly 5,000 feet above sea level.) The average temperature is about 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Not really

all that warm, especially compared to some California temperatures. It is the combination of many specific parts of the whole picture — the vineyards’ high elevations, the alluvial soils, irrigation from melting Andes Mountain snows, more than 250 days of sun every year, small amounts of annual rain, wide differences between daytime and nighttime average temperatures — that come together in the Uco Valley to make spectacular grape growing conditions. The results are excellent grape ripening and concentration, deep colors in their wines, intense flavors and aromas, rich textures It’s not surprising that the wines from the Uco Valley are beginning to be considered some of the best from Mendoza. And, they are the reason for many tourists coming to the area. Knowing this about the Uco Valley, we can move on to our grape variety for this week. Malbec. The variety that thrives in Argentina’s soils, climates, and most importantly, the high elevations. Malbec is a thinner skinned grape, so it needs a lot of sun to mature. Two hundred-and-fifty days of sun? It ripens in mid-season, and brings to its wines a very deep inky color, ample tannins, and a specific plum-like flavor. Also, part of why I love it so much, its wines have a rich, juicy texture. Mmmmmmm. Other flavors that show often with this grape include black cherries, black raspberries, blackberries, baking spices, flowers, chocolate or mocha, black pepper, minerals, earth, and a smokiness on the finish. Depending on the style of a specific Malbec wine, it can replace a Cabernet, a Syrah or a Pinot Noir. Pretty versatile. And, it’s well suited to meats, cheeses, pastas, pizzas, seafood, poultry. Almost anything. Malbec is susceptible to grape diseases and vineyards dangers, like frosts, mildew and rot. But, the reason it does so well in
“Cutting edge technology with a hometown personal touch”
Argentina is the dryness of the vineyards (they almost all need some irrigation), the elevation of the vineyards that doesn’t let them get too warm when there is moisture, so no mildew, and the very cool mountain breezes that blow over the grapes as they grow, blowing away bugs and parasites. When Malbec rootstocks were taken to Argentina, in the mid-nineteenth century, it was a match made in heaven. Wine heaven. As we explore more and more of these wines, not only from specific appellations, but also at a variety of price levels, we are sure to find some terrific wines. So, yes, it’s time to get our wine for this week. Or closer to it. We have to stop for a quick look at another aspect of Argentine wine labels. Like in other countries, the information on every label serves to tell us what’s in the bottle. Over time, and at different points in their development, wine producing countries have developed wine laws, which includes their label laws, as they have needed. Even though the industry in Argentina has deep roots in its European heritage, they have not yet developed their wine laws to a great extent. This can be seen as a negative thing because it lets producers, who want to, be less specific on grape sources. On the positive side, though, it allows reputable producers to do some mixing to make for the best wines. In 1999, the Instituto Nacional Viticultura passed some laws controlling the demarcation of certain wine areas, minimum grape percentages
and three levels of wines. An Argentine wine must be a minimum 80 percent the variety named on the label. There are three levels of wine, based on geographic specifics. “IP” wines, Indicacion de Procedencia, must come from at least 80 percent grapes from the named IP region. “IG” wines, Indicacion Geografica, have to vinted and bottled in the named area, and use grapes from there also. “DOC” wines, Appellation of Origin, have stricter requirements, including grape varieties, climate and region of origin. Despite the stricter guidelines, as you go through these three levels, there is no guarantee that one level has better wines than another. Just more requirements. Logically, we have to accept, though, that a more expensive wine is probably better for some reason. And, like wines from anywhere else, we each get to decide what we like at what price. Also, as of November, 2011, wine labels from Argentina must also display the logo for Vino Argentino Bebida Nacional. Wine has been legally declared as their national beverage! Finally, to our wine, Finca El Origen Gran Reserva Malbec. We know, from a while ago, “finca” is like a farm or bodega. “El Origen” refers to beginnings. In this case, a Chilean winery, the first Chilean winery, coming over the Andes Mountains into the Uco Valley. They released their first Finca El Origen Malbec in 2002. Ours is a 2011. It is 85 percent Malbec, 7 percent Petit Verdot, 6 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 percent Cabernet Franc. It is aged about 13 months in French oak barrels. The “gran reserva” on the label, while not really a legal designation in Argentina, refers to the wine laws of Spain. There “gran reserva” means aged for at least two years before its release, at least one of them in the bottle. This wine, true to the illusion of “gran reserva,” is a powerhouse of flavors and textures. Rich berry, chocolate, plum, black pepper, vanilla bean, spice flavors in a bowl of intense juiciness and enough tannins to go with steaks, roasts, game birds, heavy seafood, and, my favorite, Sunday afternoon. A wine to redefine how we all think of Malbec. So, we start over, with a new beginning, with a great new wine, at $19.97. Enjoy.

The atmosphere at the Beaufort Bread Company (BBC) feels warm and intimate and offers gourmet food that is described as “fun in your mouth cuisine.” The lunchtime crowd was bustling with locals excited about the options that the newly opened restaurant provides. Owners Rick and Deborah Stone pride themselves on their artisan items made by hand such as breads, pastries, pastas, and that there are no additives or preservatives in any ingredients. The Lunch Bunch sampled a variety of the sausages handcrafted by Chef Rick, including kielbasa, Italian, Mexican chorizo and Andouille.

Canine arthritis: Causes and treatment By Tracie Korol
No one wants to see his dog getting older or struggling with pain. Osteoarthritis is a painful joint disease that can cause your dog to appear stiff and sore. He may slow down and restrict his typical activities, he may be less willing to jump up into the car or climb stairs or he may stop playing, develop a reduced appetite and depressed attitude. He may be grouchy. Osteoarthritis is defined as a disease of cartilage destruction that comes with its own style of inflammation, the body’s response to injury or infection. In canine arthritis, there is damage to joint cartilage. Inflammation is the response to that damage and the body’s attempts to heal. If the cause isn’t removed, the damage, inflammation, followed by pain, will continue. The cause of cartilage damage may be from excess force on the joints. Obesity is a very common cause of chronic trauma. The excess weight causes joints to be overused and more likely to break down. If the dog can lose weight in the early stages of arthritis, the disease may actually be stopped. Unfortunately, early cartilage damage does not cause pain, so early detection is difficult. By the time an overweight dog acts arthritic, the condition has probably been present for some time. Another common cause is malformed joint disease such as hip dysplasia or “wobbler’s” disease of the cervical vertebrae. There are some surgical options that can improve these conditions. But even after surgery, eventually these dogs will become arthritic. Knee damage — usually to the cruciate ligaments — is another very common cause of canine arthritis. Arthritis is considered a degenerative

condition. There is no cure and it will inevitably progress. But there are many treatment options than can relieve pain, and may slow progression. Here is a brief list of the most successful treatments that I use in my practice when my dog friends are diagnosed with arthritis. Weight loss. Get those pounds off that pooch! Quality fish oil supplementation. The good stuff, not the cheap stuff in the big bottles. A healthy diet. This is where it begins and ends. My clients have had success using diets of real foods with limited grains and increased protein. Supplements specifically for joint health such as chondroitin and glucosamine. I also use herbal formulations such a tumeric-based supplements. Zeel. This is an herbal/homeopathic combination medication available over the counter and is very cost effective! There is also an injectable form if you can find a vet who embraces complimentary healing practices. Zeel, via biopuncture, can be as effective or better than Adequan and it is much more cost effective for large dogs. Chiropractic.

other joints too, most commonly the neck and back. Treatment aims at restoring mobility. This can reduce pain and get your dog moving much more comfortably. Acupuncture. Similar to chiropractic, acupuncture can increase joint mobility. The insertion of needles improves blood flow to tight muscles. Relieving muscle tension permits joints to move better. Acupuncture also works as a pain control method, allowing reduced doses of other drugs or supplements. Laser therapy. Also called “low level laser,” this is light at specific frequencies absorbed by the cells. Laser therapy has similar benefits and mechanisms of action to acupuncture. It can reduce pain, relieve muscle spasm, and improve joint motion. Hydrotherapy. Getting your dog in the water will allow joints to move more freely
and what dog doesn’t enjoy a swim? This is a great non-drug way to improve mobility and relieve pain. Free swimming may work great, or you may get better results with water treadmill exercise. It can also be a great way to help your dog lose weight. Physical therapy. Water therapy is part of physical therapy but there is also the “floor exercises” part. A certified canine physical therapist can evaluate your dog’s joint mobility and design a treatment plan that includes stretching and exercises, some of which you can do at home with your dog. Massage. All dogs love a massage! Done by a certified practitioner this is much more than just good scratch and belly rub. In some patients massage can actually accomplish the same results as chiropractic or acupuncture. The above list is a place to start. Try one thing at a time so you know what is working or is not working. When making dietary changes or adding supplements, do it gradually. If trying acupuncture, chiropractic or the other physical modalities, make sure the practitioner tells you what to expect and watch for.
