Fire department checks gas leak at TCL Beaufort firefighters cleaned up a battery leak that sent two Technical College of the Lowcountry employees to the emergency room for observation last Monday morning.

One or more batteries in the welding shop at TCL apparently released potentially dangerous hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide in a closet containing a bank of batteries used for the wind turbine, according to Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron.

“Dispatch received a call at 7:01 a.m. of an odor coming from a building at TCL that could be a possible gas leak.

Their security could smell the gases from outside the building,” Negron said.

Squad 1 from the Beaufort Fire Department responded within minutes and, after meeting with TCL security and maintenance workers, found no evidence of explosive gases. “However, our air monitoring equipment did detect hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide in a closet of the welding shop,” Negron said. “Our firefighters isolated the batteries and removed them. We ventilated the affected building until all readings were back to normal. Once the ventilation was complete and the hazard removed, the

editorial/news building was released to be re-occupied.”

Negron said ER doctors kept the two TCL employees under observation for a few hours but they were released.

He applauded the quick reaction of TCL employees in alerting the fire department of the possible gas leak. “Early detection and calling the fire department helped keep this a minor incident,” Negron said. “These are potentially dangerous gases in high levels. We encourage people to always err on the side of caution and call us if they think there’s a gas leak or other potential danger.”

Library recognized for architecture Two years after being built, the St. Helena Branch Library is again being recognized for its architecture and design.

Last week, the St. Helena Branch Library was featured as a 2014 Building of the Week in the American-Architects online newsletter. Since the beginning of the year, American-Architects has taken a state-by-state look for the feature. This week, American-Architects chose the St. Helena Branch Library as the building to highlight in South Carolina.

news briefs Suspect wanted in assault of cab driver

A suspect has been identified in the September 28 assault of a cab driver on Old Bailey Road.

Shykeim Raykwan Wright, 18, of Grays Hill is wanted on one count of assault and battery high and aggravated for the attack that left a 63-year-old cab driver hospitalized with severe facial injuries.

The victim, a driver for Maude’s Cab service, reported that he’d picked up a young black male from Ben Allen Road in Grays Hill that Sunday morning and drove him to Old Bailey’s Road as requested. The two men talked as he drove, with no indication of anything amiss.

However, as they approached the area of Blueberry Lane on Old Bailey’s Road, Wright suddenly attacked the driver without provocation, striking him in the head with a hammer. Wright got out of the vehicle and the victim tried to drive away, but Wright continued to assault him, smashing the windows of the vehicle with a rock and beating the victim about the head and face.

The victim was eventually able to disengage and drove a short distance, pulling into a private driveway and honking the horn to summon help as Wright fled the area on foot.

production The motive for the attack remains unknown, and nothing was reportedly stolen. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Shykeim Raykwan Wright is asked to call either Investigator Sgt. B. Cooler at 843-255-3423 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Wright is a black male, approximately 5’06”, 175 lbs with a 2-3” afro hairstyle. His last known address is 14 Ben Allen Road.

Wright is also wanted on two unrelated counts of Pointing and Presenting a Firearm for an incident in July 2014, during which he allegedly brandished a weapon and threatened to kill two victims at 19 Walter Drive in Burton. Due to the violent nature of Wright’s offenses, he should be considered as potentially armed and dangerous.

Shooting in Seabrook still under investigation

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is continuing the investigation into a shooting incident in Seabrook that left one man injured on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Just after 7 p.m., deputies responded to the area of the Whale Branch bridge in reference to a reported gunshot victim. Deputies located a white Chevy Malibu occupied by three subjects nearby on Fieldfare Way. The backseat

passenger was a 28-year-old black male suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.

The driver and front seat passenger of the vehicle advised that they had been at a house party on Delaney Circle and decided to leave. As they were leaving, they heard several subjects arguing. An unknown male then jumped into the back seat of the car and yelled to get him out of there.

As the three men drove away, unknown suspect(s) began shooting at the vehicle. They drove to Hwy 21 then turned onto Fieldfare Way, pursued by the suspects in an unknown vehicle, who continued to shoot at them.

Multiple shots were fired, one of which entered the vehicle and struck the back seat passenger.

The driver pulled over and called for help, rendering aid to the victim until deputies arrived. The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital where he remains in stable condition.

At this time, no suspect(s) have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Cpl J. Malphrus at 843-255-3426 or Crimestoppers. To report crime, citizens can call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372) or text the word TIPSC with a message to CRIMES (274637).

health & wellness

By Susan Stone

Poison arrows, we all send them.

Poison arrows are the negative thoughts, words and actions that we put out into the world. We may not do it intentionally, but we send them none the less.

The concept of poison arrows was presented to me for the first time just after the bombing at the Boston Marathon when I was visiting my dear teacher, Marian. She spoke about the effect of our thoughts and words like the ripple effect of a stone thrown into a pond. Marian described the event like this: My angry thoughts connect to your angry thoughts and join the angry thoughts of others until it builds to the point where it manifests. Then the weakest link in the human chain will act it out — and BOOM, a bomb goes off!

Or a war breaks out. Or someone gets beat up after school. But the opposite is also true. When my loving thoughts connect to your loving thoughts and those thoughts join the loving thoughts of the world — somebody gets the loan they desperately need or the job that will save a family’s home or a miraculous healing.

POISON ARROWS Wow ... think about that for a moment. That means we’re all connected.

That means there is no “they”. That means, we are they.

I was doing a Susan Stone healing session this week with a woman who was desperately worried about her animal’s health, her husband’s health and other serious issues. Sometimes when I do sessions, people will get a message. This time it was not just for her, but for me as well.

The message was that when we worry about a person or situation, we are actually doing the opposite of what we intend. We want the situation to improve, but what we are sending is negative. Worry is not a positive emotion. You can feel it in your body. It doesn’t feel good. Love and worry are diametrically opposed to one another.

Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying, “We cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”

When you are concerned for someone, instead of worry, invoke an emotion that

Awakenings

is more helpful. Very simply, hold them in your mind’s eye then draw a happy face on the palm of your hand and send it out. Whoosh! You’ve just sent them a blessing instead of a curse. When you see a homeless person on the street or hear your neighbors arguing, draw the happy face and send it. Bless them, it is the kindest thing you can do for them.

Let’s get back to “they”. How many times have you heard about global warming and climate change and thought, they should do something about that! We are “they.” Or maybe you learn that Congress has given themselves another raise and wonder, how can they get away with that? We are still “they.”

Only “we” can change our world, since “we” created the world as it is today.

Now, now, now, before you get angry and put this article in the bottom of the bird’s cage, think for just a moment.

Do you drive a car? Do you consume the products that are made in pollution factories? Yes, of course, we all do. Do you vote? Do you write letters to your congressman or woman?

We ARE creating the world in which we live. “We” the people are electing those who put their own interests before the greater good. Can we change that? Of course we can! But first we have to stop blaming “them” and take responsibility for our choices. If we don’t like the choices we have made in the past, then we can choose again.

There is no point in being angry with yourself or others for the choices that have already been made. “We” can draw a happy face on the palm of our hand and bless them — then we kick them out of office (smile).

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

noel tillman believes in creating

compassionate communities Noel Tillman has no problem admitting that his wife has already designed his tombstone. But since she says it will be engraved with “forever the teacher,” which is a fitting tribute for a retired educator, Noel doesn’t seem to be bothered by the early planning.

Noel may be technically retired, but he has a long list of volunteer activities that keep him as busy as a bee. In fact, he refers to himself as a worker bee.

“I like to get right in and do things,” he says. “Bring about change, improve, create, fix, modify. It is important for me to be moving in a direction.”

And moving is something Noel has done for most of his life. Born in New York City and raised in Massachusetts, Noel and his wife, Cathy, both retired from service with the Department of Defense. They worked with children of military families in the U.S. and overseas.

“We were lucky to retire here in Beaufort, near family, after several years of working with the Laurel Bay schools,” Noel says.

It was Noel’s seven years in the U.S. Air Force as a parachuting/ water survival and aviation physiology instructor that turned him on to teaching as a vocation. After six years of night school, he completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. Noel has been a classroom teacher, a school level administrator and a district and state education administrator. Noel says that since he married a teacher, he even brought the job home at night.

“Education, to me, is a service industry. It requires you to work closely with people and to help others. So giving back to my community in retirement is just an outcropping of that service experience,” he says.

Noel currently works as a food redistribution volunteer and a member of the Second Helpings Board of

Noel Tillman is one busy retiree.

Directors; he’s a co-founder and active board member of Compassionate Beaufort Communities; he serves on the curriculum committee of the USCB/ Osher Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI); and he routinely volunteers and is a past board member of CAPA .

“If my name is attached to it, then it has to be the best I can do,” Noel says about his dedication to his volunteer work. “My family has always valued the dignity of hard work and giving 110% of yourself to what you do.”

And he’s quick to praise his coworkers, too.“I work with very dedicated, altruistic people in each of the programs with which I volunteer. Beaufort is a very compassionate community. So many folks give of themselves, and share their talents, time, and treasure. We are all so lucky to live in an area steeped in history and tradition, yet forward-thinking enough to know the importance of change.”

Noel’s volunteer duties vary with each organization: At OLLI, he presents classes and helps recruit talented, knowledgeable people to share their careers and life experiences as part of the adult education program

co-sponsored by USCB. At Compassionate Beaufort Communities Noel is on a team that works behind the scenes to support individuals and organizations so they might be more successful. They do this by helping the groups publish exceptional stories and meeting with the organizations to share ideas on improving the communities’ awareness of their efforts.

Noel says his Second Helpings job “requires a little backbreaking work five to six hours a month that results in over one million pounds of surplus donated food being re-distributed in the local Beaufort area each year. That success makes up for a few sore muscles.”

But don’t think sore muscles are enough to slow Noel’s pace. “The more I get involved, the more energized I become,” he says. “It has got to be fulfilling work, not a lot of meetings.

That way I don’t feel guilty about ignoring and procrastinating the lawn mowing and other chores I have waiting for me back home.”

Even with a lawn to mow, Noel has free time that he fills with carpentry, painting and drawing.

“My son-in-law is a builder and he constantly reminds me that my creative carpentry skills, what he calls ‘Noelizing,’ are in need of some polish. I started painting and drawing a couple of years ago. I am self-taught, and it shows, but I have sold about a dozen paintings and hundreds of hand drawn note cards.

I know I can’t give up my day job for art, but I love the creative process, and Beaufort is an inspiring place.”

Noel also feels fortunate to stay connected to the people whose lives he’s touched. “Every now and then I’ll bump into a CAPA shelter kid that I worked with who has grown into adulthood. I love the feeling of knowing I am a small part of their lives. Being an educator,

you love those moments when a former student or their parents stop you and say, ‘thanks.’”

Noel says his “death wish” days of motorcycles and dirt bikes led to three broken legs, so he gave that up.

Likewise, he says that time has caught up with him, transitioning his downhill skiing and SCUBA diving to snowshoeing, cross country skiing, a walk on Edisto or Hunting Island beaches, a kayak trip out his back door, or snorkeling.

Noel and Cathy have a daughter, Lyn Dennis, who works in the Beaufort schools. Lyn and her husband, Scott (the builder), have two children, Katelyn and Robert, who graduated from Beaufort High School. Katelyn graduated from Clemson and Robert attends Presbyterian College. Noel and Cathy’s son Michael lives near Myrtle Beach, SC, while their other daughter Christian and grandson Allen, a graduate of Stonehill College, live in Massachusetts.

Noel first references “Stayin’ Alive,” the signature Bee Gees song from “Saturday Night Fever” when asked about plans for the future. Then he quickly gets back to the business of helping local organizations.

“Actually there are several projects brewing,” he says. “There’s an April event at Chamber’s Park involving Earth Day, charity recognition, and celebration of youth. I just finished working on seven courses for OLLI the winter /spring semester on various topics: art, life of migrant workers, local history, music, global travel, and government.”

Don’t expect any grass to grow under Noel’s feet any time soon. And if it did, he’d probably be too busy to mow it, anyway.

Shark Tooth Fairy creates fun scavenger hunt

By Bob Sofaly

Thousands of people crammed onto a tiny spit of beach at high tide last Saturday, Oct. 11 at The Sands in Port Royal to wait for Mike Harris, the Shark Tooth Fairy, to drop about a half a ton of shark teeth and other fossilized bones back into the water to be found. Harris, a Port Royal resident, and a few friends sprinkled the artifacts into the water then let the public go after them. Some folks were very deliberate in their search and came equipped with buckets for their finds. Others were just out to have some fun in the sun on a beautiful October day. Whatever their reasons, most came away with something in hand, and a chance to play in the water one more time before fall weather sets in for good.

Mike Harris, the Shark Tooth Fairy of Port Royal, displays one of the many fossilized teeth he gave away. Harris re-deposited teeth and other fossilized artifacts along the beach of The Sands in Port Royal for other people to find.

This little guy, equipped with a plastic bag, peers into the water as he looks for shark’s teeth at The Sands in Port Royal.

Jeremy Wahman-Gargo, 9, shows off some of his shark teeth found on Saturday at The Sands in Port Royal.

Elle Bougan, 7, found it was more fun to play in the water with the colander than sift for shark teeth, but she did find a few small teeth.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

Pucker up for The Lemon Challenge at BHS Beaufort High School Drama Director LaRaine Fess and her troop of student actors are out to raise awareness of the issues of bullying and teen substance abuse. To bring these concerns to the forefront, they issued a challenge to their school and community at large called the “Lemonade Challenge.” Inspired by the recent “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,” Ms. Fess and her students are “daring” everyone to take a bite from a lemon and “savor the sour,” because without the “sour” or the struggles in life, it would hard to appreciate the “sweet.”

To kick off this effort, Beaufort community leaders were invited to Beaufort High to take the challenge to take a stand against bullying and teen substance abuse — and they rose admirable to that challenge! The motto for this effort is “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” a sentiment that can help everyone stand strong in the face of adversity.

Pictured at right (from left): Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka, BHS Principal Corey Murphy, County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville, and Beaufort County School District Board Chairman Bill Evans take the Lemon Challenge.

Foundation surprises teachers with cash awards Twenty-six Beaufort County public school teachers from 12 schools were surprised with news that they had won innovation grants from the Foundation for Educational Excellence, a fund of The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry.

The grants will fund more than $8,000 in classroom projects ranging from anatomy models to robotics equipment.

Foundation officials visited teachers’ classrooms to deliver the news in person.

“The projects we’re funding this fall all have one thing in common,” said Jackie Rosswurm, the foundation’s chair.

“They’re innovative and they are helping students learn from new perspectives, with new tools and in more creative ways.

“We’re privileged to recognize and reward teachers who approach their work in new and exciting ways. And the big winners, of course, are the students.

They’re the ones who ultimately benefit from innovative and effective classroom projects.”

The Foundation for Educational Excellence is a nonprofit organization whose primary function is to raise funds to support activities and projects that spur classroom innovation. Its first grants were awarded in 2009, and since then grants totaling more than $60,000

have been awarded district-wide.

The fall awards were supported this year by a grant the foundation received from The Bargain Box. Funds are also raised from individuals, businesses and the foundation’s major fundraiser, “Jewels and Jeans.”

The 2014 fall cycle grant awards: • Larry Leming, Alicia Brown, Mary Crosby (Beaufort Elementary, Science Exploration and Experimentation, Dr. Valerie Truesdale Innovative Teacher Grant Award) • David Shervin (Beaufort High, Anatomy Models for 3-Dimensional Learning) • Eve Weaver (Robert Smalls International Academy, Watch us Grow) • Jill Brickley (Pritchardville Elementary, Wire Up a Critter Bot) • Shane Peek (Whale Branch Middle, Ornithology Experiment) • Nancy Davis (Hilton Head Island Elementary IB, Using Audio Cards to Improve English Proficiency for English Language Learners) • Dana Christensen ( Joseph S.

Beaufort Academy fifth graders tour historic church Beaufort Academy fifth grade students traveled downtown to tour the historic Parish Church of St. Helena. The tour started in the graveyard where the students learned tales of Union and Confederate soldiers and of families with key roles in the history and development of Beaufort.

They then travelled inside and learned about the history of the church, which was founded just one year after the founding of Beaufort 300 years ago. Finally, the students were treated to an organ concert

by Matthew Brown of Salisbury, NC.

Solar panel installations almost done at two schools Technicians are completing the installation of solar panels at two schools that are each capable of generating 25,000 watts of electricity.

The new solar panels also will have an instructional component because students across the district can electronically access a computer system that monitors the energy that’s produced.

“One of our goals is to get students involved in actually evaluating these systems to see if it’s worth duplicating at other schools,” said Robert Oetting, the district’s facilities director.

A similar real-time monitoring system

is in place for students to track the effects of a recently installed solar hot water heater at H.E. McCracken Middle School, Oetting said.

Bluffton High’s solar panels, in addition to their energy production, will be used to shade an outdoor patio used during the day by seniors at the school.

Bluffton High students assisted in the design as part of an academic class on architecture and engineering.

Power generated by the new solar panels will be sold to South Carolina Electric and Gas for 8 cents per kilowatt hour, which the school district estimates will generate savings (at today’s rates)

that will cover the cost of the panels in 15-20 years.

The $250,000 needed to purchase and install the panels was partially offset through the Solar Grant Program for Education Installations sponsored

by Palmetto Clean Energy. The grant matched up to $50,000 each at both Bluffton High School and Whale Branch Early College High School.

The rest of the funding comes from district funds approved by the Board of Education for energy efficiency projects.

The Beaufort County School District has achieved considerable savings by developing more efficient systems in

school buildings. For example, schools’ energy use was reduced from 54 million kilowatt hours in 2006 to 39 million kilowatt hours in 2013 despite thousands of new students as well as the addition of more than a million square feet of building space. Occupancy sensors were installed in hallways and classrooms, and more efficient light fixtures and heating and air-conditioned systems were added.

Cutting-edge technology also reduced water usage from 58 million gallons in 2006 to 51 million gallons in 2013, again despite more students and more building space.

alumna Rebecca Strawn scored a perfect 800 on the Critical Reading portion of the exam.

According to the College Board, the SAT is a key piece of the college admissions process, and while there is an increase in overall participation, overall performance has remained stagnant; not quite 43% of SAT takers in the class of 2014 met the SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmark score of 1550. Of BA graduates, 87% met or exceeded

scores are reflective of the hard work of the entire BA community to realize this mission. While a score on a single test is not an indicator of overall preparedness for college, we can rest assured that our students can excel in college if they apply the skills that they have acquired during their time here.

We are quite proud of our class of 2014 and are pleased that they continued the Beaufort Academy tradition of 100% college matriculation,” said Stephen Schools, BA Head of School.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘days and nights’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Days and Nights” on Monday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.

“Days and Nights,” writer and director Christian Camargo’s directorial debut, inspired by the Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull” is set in rural New England in the 1980’s. The film centers around Elizabeth (Allison Janney), a movie star, who brings her paramour Peter (Christian Camargo) to her lakeside estate to visit her

family on Memorial Day weekend. The household includes her ailing brother (William Hurt), her artist son (Ben Whishaw), his ethereal muse ( Juliet Rylance), the family doctor ( Jean Reno) and the estate’s custodian (Russell Means), the careless caretaker (Michael Nyqvist) and his wife (Cherry Jones), their temperamental daughter (Katie Holmes) and her long suffering ornithologist husband (Mark Rylance) — the keeper of the sacred land

where a bald eagle is trying to raise its young. During the weekend, a disastrous turn of events leads the family from dysfunction to heartbreak and, ultimately, salvation.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902. Contact the box office at 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.

A preview of Mozart’s remarkable ‘Marriage of Figaro’

By Alan Schuster

To really appreciate the musical genius of Mozart as a composer, consider this: When his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte recalled working with him on “Figaro” in a letter to a friend, he wrote: “I set to work, and as fast as I wrote the words, Mozart set them to music. In six weeks, everything was in order.”

Mozart’s opera “Marriage of Figaro” will be broadcast live from The MET to USCB Center for the Arts on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 12:55 p.m.

Cast: The Count and Countess Almaviva; Figaro, a servant; Susanna, a maid; Cherubino, a page; Dr Bartolo; Marcellina, a former housekeeper; Don Basilio, a music teacher.

Act I: Figaro and Susanna are to marry later in the day but first he must deal with the Count after she tells him that he has been flirting with her. Dr Bartolo and Marcellina enter, determined to hold Figaro to his agreement to marry her if he cannot repay a loan she gave him.

Cherubino tells Susanna of his infatuation with the Countess, after which the Count arrives and he hides as the Count flirts with her. When Don Basilio enters, the Count hides too, overhearing gossip about Cherubino’s crush on his wife. The Count emerges, realizing that his page has overheard his flirtations, and promptly dismisses him to become an officer in his army.

Highlights: Figaro: “If you want to dance...”, declaring war against the Count.

Cherubino:“Oh, what feelings...”, a popular highlight of the opera as he sings about his adolescent love for all women. Figaro:“Play no more...”, a high-spirited tune in which he taunts Cherubino about his upcoming military duties. Even the orchestra adds some taunting.

Act II: The Countess laments her husband’s neglect. Susanna arrives, then Figaro with plans to trap the Count.

Susanna will agree to meet him, but Cherubino, disguised as Susanna, will go instead. While Cherubino is being dressed, the Count approaches so Cherubino hides in the closet. When the Count hears a noise, the Countess tells him that Susanna is trying on her wedding dress. Suspicious that the door is locked, he leaves with the Countess to find tools to open it. Susanna now changes places with Cherubino, who then escapes through a window. The Count returns, finds Susanna in the closet, and apologizes to the Countess. The gardener enters, reporting that somebody jumped out of a window, thus increasing the Count’s suspicions.

Highlights: Countess: “Love, bring relief...”, is a beautiful cavatina with long melodic lines. Another fine piece follows, this time it’s Cherubino’s “Tell me, ladies”, one of opera’s most well-known songs.

Actually it’s a song he composed about his favorite subject, love in vain. The act ends

with 20 minutes of helter-skelter action and music, an amazing invention, with all nine principals involved — and confused.

This is often considered to be Mozart’s finest comedic ensemble scene.

Act III: In a large salon, Susanna sees the Count and promises to meet with him.

A notary enters with Marcellina, Bartolo and Figaro and demands that Figaro must marry her. Figaro claims he can’t marry her without his parents permission.

Hearing his account of his childhood abduction, Marcellina and Bartolo now realize that Figaro is their son. Alone, the Countess recalls her early years with the Count. Susanna arrives and the Countess dictates a letter for the Count, confirming their meeting. In the final scene, villagers arrive, marching and dancing to celebrate the marriage of Figaro and Susanna.

Highlights: “Beloved son, know your mother...”, a.k.a. the Mia Madre sextet, centering around Figaro’s disclosure, with all six expressing separate thoughts together. [Mozart’s favorite!]. Countess: “Where are the moments...”, a beautiful aria recalling her early love for the Count.

Susanna and the Countess: “O sweet zephyr”, a serenely clever duet with Susanna and the Countess composing the letter together.

Act IV: Figaro is furious, thinking that Susanna is to have a secret meeting with the Count although the Countess will

meet him instead, dressed in Susanna’s clothing. This leads to a big final scene in which Figaro recognizes Susanna as the Countess. When he acts as if he believes that Susanna is the Countess, the Count thinks that he is his wife’s lover. But when the disguises are revealed, so too are the plots, leading to a happy ending for one and all.

Highlights: The brief final act is mostly a marvelous stretch of music and comedic drama in which the entire cast — unsupported by a chorus — tries to make sense of all the mistaken identities which have been revealed. While it may not match the magnificent second act finale, it comes awfully close, and makes for a joyous conclusion to what is undoubtedly the opera world’s greatest comedic work of art.

The Met’s Musical Director James Levine conducts with Ildar Abdrazakov as Figaro; Marlis Petersen as Susanna; Peter Mattei, the Count; Amanda Majeski, the Countess; and Isabel Leonard as Cherubino.

Next performance will be Bizet’s popular “Carmen” on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Shake, Rattle & Roll with Elvis at ARTworks

Put on your Blue Suede Shoes or your high-heel sneakers and head on down to ARTworks for some good rockin’ on Saturday night with Elvis. Yes, that’s right, THE Elvis will be making a one night only stop in Beaufort.

I know you thought he had gone to have “a Little Talk with Jesus”, but calm your Suspicious Minds and let talented tribute artist, Michael Viljac convince you otherwise.

Like Elvis, Michael Viljac is a handsome dark-haired southerner who credits his hip shaking moves to karate training. However, unlike Elvis, he never aspired to be a performer and still maintains a day job at Coastal Pressure, a pressure washing equipment business in Mount Pleasant, SC. According to Viljac, he was a Johhny Cash fan growing up and only sang his first Elvis song at a karaoke bar in 1993 after a friend begged him to. A year or so later, after seeing the show of a professional Elvis impersonator with his wife, she

suggested that he try it out. So, in 1996, he put together his first show. Over time, his act has evolved from singing along to pre-recorded music, to performing with a full band. Although the Elvis show is a popular request, Viljac and his band also perform beach and shag music shows, as well as shows that incorporate music by country starts and Vegas regulars like George Jones, Conway Twitty, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones.

Although Elvis Aaron Presley died on August 16, 1977, at age 42, his spotlight has never really dimmed and there are estimated to be upwards of 85,000 Elvis impersonators performing across the globe today. In his lifetime, the composer Leonard Bernstein called Elvis “the single, most influential cultural force of the 20th century.”

The performer was seen as more than a singer, he represented a whole generation of young Americans who were addicted to their record players and seeking to

Michael Viljac performs as Elvis Presley.

rebel against their parents and societal norms. From his early leather jacket and love em’ and leave ‘em movie roles, to his over-the-top 70s jumpsuits, Elvis

was seen as living life on his own terms even if that meant excess. Perhaps that yearning for freedom is what still keeps Elvis’ appeal strong among modern day fans. It’s no surprise that those tied down by jobs, mortgages, and all of the other demands of daily life Can’t Help Falling In Love with this icon.

Viljac says that when he’s dressed the part, people act as though he really is Elvis. They want to have their picture taken with him, have him sign autographs and give them a kiss on the cheek. He’s even had a few requests to perform weddings. He says, “It’s an honor, whether it’s me or Elvis that they’re responding to”.

If you go: The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 18. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online from the ARTworks website at www. beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling 843-379-2787. ARTworks is located in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza, 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort.

Salt Gallery to feature photography of author Janet Garrity Beaufort author and photographer Janet Garrity will be signing copies of her book “Goin’ Down the River, Fish Camps of the Sea Islands” and showcasing her photography at Salt Gallery, 802 Bay Street, on Saturday, October 25, 3 to 6 p.m. during downtown Beaufort’s October Art Walk.

The book, the first ever published about fish camps, was an immediate success in Beaufort, as well as throughout South Carolina and outside the state, when it was released two years ago. Now Garrity is bringing her photography to market at Salt Gallery, featuring photos from her book and other Lowcountry subjects.

“The book,‘Goin’ Down the River,’ was my first professional photography work, though I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was a child,” Garrity said. “When selling the book, people frequently said to me ‘Your photos are beautiful,’ so I decided it was time to reach out and offer people a chance to see and buy my work outside of the book. It was also a huge boost to my confidence when

book signing

Beaufort author and photographer Janet Garrity will be signing copies of her book “Goin’ Down the River, Fish Camps of the Sea Islands” at McIntosh Book Shoppe, 917 Bay Street, Beaufort, on Friday, October 24, 2 to 5 p.m. The book, the first ever published about fish camps, is full of dramatic photos and clever writings, which make this coffeetable style book a slice of Lowcountry history. For information about the book signing, call McIntosh Book Shoppe at 843-524-1119.

Reggie Przybysz, manager at Salt Gallery, is seen with Janet Garrity, author and photographer.

CBS bought my print ‘Lookin’ Down the River’ for use as set dressing for its TV drama ‘Reckless,’ which was filmed in Charleston.”

When Garrity showed her work, including the print “Lookin’ Down the River,” to Kelly Davidson, one of the four owners of Salt Gallery, Davidson

was impressed and immediately offered Garrity space in the gallery. Reggie Przybysz, former owner of Art & Soul Gallery in Beaufort, has recently joined Salt Gallery and Garrity looks forward to working closely with Przybysz.

“Reggie and Kelly have experience in the art world that will significantly help me,” said Garrity. “I know and love photography, and I have a background in marketing, but there is no substitution for hands-on experience. Working with

Salt Gallery offers me that experience and will make me that much better at my craft.”

Garrity moved to Beaufort in 2008 from Ithaca, NY. Her professional career was in marketing and sales for 26 years, but her love for photography began at age eight when she picked up a box camera. Since moving to the area, the Lowcountry’s changing landscapes have become the primary focus of her photographic work.

Salt Gallery is located in the pink building on the corner of the alley leading to Saltus Restaurant. The gallery opened in February of this year.

“The name Salt Gallery is a bit tonguein-cheek,” Davidson said. “Not only does it pay homage to the Saltus building the gallery is in, but also recognizes ‘artists are the salt of the earth’,” she said.

Einstein on Mozart and more

Albert Einstein often rested from his deep thoughts by playing his well-worn violin that he had named Lina. When he did so, his favorite composer was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Einstein greatly appreciated the mathematical precision and ethereal beauty of Mozart’s music, saying: “Mozart’s music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe itself.”

Come to the first concert of this year’s USCB Festival Series on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. at USCB Center for the Arts to experience what Einstein was talking about. Mozart’s vibrant Trio in B-flat Major, K. 502 begins the program with a blend of sophisticated conversation, caressing song, and witty repartee.

Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodàly, a man of indefatigable energy, vision, and honor, whose musical contributions cut across disciplines and generations will lead up to intermission. His music-education system — teaching children to sing and play through the use of traditional song — is still in use today. His compositions also reflect his attraction to the folk music of his native land. Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7, written during the final run up to WWI in the spring of 1914, combines the feverish energy of the era with passionate, idiosyncratic folklike melodies. This three-movement

work demands blistering technique and pedal-to-the metal commitment from the performers which in turn rewards listeners with an intense experience.

The concert concludes with Robert Schumann’s Piano Trio in d minor, Op. 63, a work both robust and intimate which runs the gamut from whispered conversation to symphonic extravagance.

Schumann began his concert career as a pianist and never lost his innate feel for the instrument. His greatest works feature the piano, and this piece can be considered one of the definitive romantic-era trios. It is personal, thumping, overwrought, and elegiac, filled with the kind of highs and lows which defined Schumann’s personality and to which, more than 165 years after its composition, we can still relate.

Returning to play this interesting and compelling mix of music will be three Festival Series veterans. Artistic Director, host, and cellist Edward Arron; brilliant pianist Jeewon Park, and Lowcountry sensation, violinist Tessa Lark.

Complete information about the artists and the programs are available at www.uscb.edu/festivalseries. Call 843208-8246 or email sjbreton@uscb.edu Staci Breton for tickets.

Come discover the inner beauty of the universe. Einstein was rarely wrong.

about the musicians • Edward Arron: Cellist Edward Arron has garnered recognition worldwide for his elegant musicianship, impassioned performances, and creative programming. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Arron made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, he has appeared in recital, as a soloist with major orchestras, and as a chamber musician throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2013, Mr. Arron completed a ten-year residency as the artistic director of the critically acclaimed Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert, a chamber music series created in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the museum’s prestigious Concerts and Lectures series. Currently, he is the artistic director, host, and resident performer of the Musical Masterworks concert series in Old Lyme, Connecticut, as well as the Festival Series in Beaufort, SC, and Chamber Music on Main at the Columbia Museum in Columbia, SC. Additionally, Mr. Arron curates a series, “Edward Arron and Friends,” at the Caramoor International Music Festival, and is the co-artistic director along with his wife, pianist Jeewon Park, of the new Performing Artists in Residence series at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Mr. Arron has served on the faculty of New York University since 2009.

• Jeewon Park: Praised for her “deeply reflective playing” (Indianapolis Star) and “infectious exuberance” (New York Times), pianist Jeewon Park is rapidly garnering the attention of audiences for her dazzling technique and poetic lyricism. After making her debut at the age of 12 with the Korean Symphony Orchestra, Ms. Park arrived in the U.S. in 2002 having won all

Korea’s major competitions. Since her arrival, she has performed in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Seoul Arts Center. Most recently Ms. Park has performed as soloist with the Hwa Eum Chamber Orchestra in the Inaugural Festival of the IBK Chamber Hall at the Seoul Arts Center, the Metropolitan Museum, the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, and Kumho Art Hall. An avid chamber musician, Jeewon Park has performed at many prominent festivals throughout the world.

• Tessa Lark: Winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition, Kentucky native Tessa Lark has begun a promising career on concert stages in North America, Europe and Asia. At age 16, she performed Mozart’s Violin Concerto in G major with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and then with the New England Conservatory’s Symphony Orchestra as a result of winning the school’s Violin Concerto Competition in 2010 with the Walton Violin Concerto. Last November she gave her debut recital in Weill Hall and other concerts include the radio broadcasted Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert series, Ravinia $10 Classics series, Chamber Music Tulsa series, and the Caramoor Wednesday Morning Concert series.

A Voyage of Discovery

learn about life in the lowcountry with beaufort county senior leadership

By Terry Rice

“A Voyage of Discovery” is the slogan for the Beaufort County Senior Leadership (BCSL) program presented by Clemson University and co-sponsored by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s like a 12-day field trip for big kids” said a recent graduate.

The program is designed as an informational and active experience for Beaufort County residents about a variety of subjects related to living in the county. The objective of the program is to inspire participants to become involved in volunteerism and civic engagement aligned with their own leadership skills and personal interests.

Campers get to spend a week at camp, experiencing all camp activities.

Second Helpings’ mission is to collect and thereby rescue nutritious surplus foods that would otherwise have been wasted from restaurants, resorts, caterers and supermarkets. Volunteers deliver this food, in a safe and healthful manner, to agencies serving the disadvantaged.

The Jaycees would like to thank

current Party in the Park sponsors: 303 Associates, Butler Chrysler Dodge Jeep, New South Shirts, Marek Realty Group, Lather Construction, The Savvy Apple Preschool and Ray’s Collision Center.

Historian recounts story of America’s Lost Century The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts, in partnership with the Santa Elena Foundation, will present a lecture delivered by Dr. Larry Rowland, local historian and professor emeritus at USCB, titled “The Story of Santa Elena: America’s Lost Century” at the university’s historic campus on Sunday, October 19, at 4 p.m.

The belief that the first settlement

by Europeans in North America occurred in Jamestown or Plymouth is contradicted by the earlier explorations and conquests of the Spanish. “The discrepancy of denoting the location of the first settlement elsewhere is complicated, but best explained as a case of the English recording the story of North America before Florida’s history

had chance to be uncovered. It was not until the 1920s that historians started recording the Spaniard occupation of territories in the New World,” says Rowland.

The story of Santa Elena has been neglected for the better part of 100 years, despite the exceptional efforts of historians and archaeologists. “The story of Spanish colonization outside of the State of Florida is not well known while at the same time preserved as a matter of record for quite some time in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, Spain,” says Andy Beall, executive director for the Santa Elena Foundation.

The story of Santa Elena has not caught fire previously, while the stories of Roanoke, Jamestown, and

Senior, Military & First Responder Discount

St. Augustine were promoted actively by local residents, organizations, and governments. “That Santa Elena laid buried under several feet of soil for the past 450 years is a likely explanation for why the story of the settlement is not well known.,” says Beall.

Dr. Rowland’s two-hour, interactive lecture on October 19 will bring to light the historic significance of the Spaniard presence in Beaufort County and will also reveal the many “firsts” recorded at Santa Elena, which include the first ship built in North America and the first church. The lecture will appeal to a wide audience and is intended to spark interest in local history as well as serve as a call to action to make the story of Santa Elena a part of the living history in Northern Beaufort County.

With the establishment of the Santa Elena Foundation Northern Beaufort County is poised uniquely to add another attribute of cultural heritage tourism to its roster. Perhaps the biggest benefits of cultural heritage tourism are diversification of local economies and preservation of a community’s unique character. Based upon data from research studies by Dr. Robb Cary of Clemson University and Dr. John Salazar of USCB, the leaders of the Santa Elena Foundation believe a successful project may increase economic output from tourism by 5 percent to 20 percent in Beaufort, Port Royal, and Lady’s Island.

A ticket for the lecture costs $25 and can be ordered online at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling the box office at 843-521-4145.

Parish Church of St. Helena has Fall Bazaar Church mice, a silent auction and handmade Christmas decorations, gifts and foods will headline the Fall Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Parish Church of St. Helena in downtown Beaufort.

The bazaar, presented by the Women of the Parish, will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Parish House at 507 Newcastle St. (The Silent Auction will close at 1 p.m.)

The bazaar, which benefits the church’s outreach efforts in Beaufort and around the world, will continue its nowfamous silent auction of unique items ranging from golf outings, excursions and restaurant dinners to fine art, furs and furniture. Featured items this year include a piano, a doll with a dozen handmade outfits and a church mice Nativity scene.

St. Helena’s famous handmade chorister “church mice” will present the deacon mouse this year. Returning are the angel mice, with new and improved wings, available in a limited quantity, as well as the sleeping mice in their sardinecan beds (“not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”).

“One of my fondest memories as a child was saving up my allowance and babysitting money to spend at the church bazaar at my home church. I never failed to find treasures to give each of my family and friends at Christmas,” says Martha Scott, who is co-chairing the event with Betty Ann Allison.

“Our son carried on the tradition when we arrived at St. Helena’s eight years ago,” Scott continued. “We still have the three fruit trees he bought that year, and his friends all got gifts from the Fall Bazaar!”

The bazaar will feature a sizable inventory of handmade Christmas wreaths, ornaments and gift items.

A German Riesling to remember

By Celia Strong

During the past couple weeks, we have featured some new wines, all of which would make good choices for the holidays. Even though they seem far away and many people have not yet made final plans, the reality is that the holidays are sneaking up quickly, and that means we’re going to need some good wines (definitely plural). Instead of waiting for the last minute to pick these crucial additions to our holiday meals, we can do our research and learning and tasting now and plan in advance for selecting the best wines.

This week, we travel to Germany to find out more about a particularly notable Riesling. Most German wines are produced in the Western part of the country; their vineyards are all based along rivers, mainly the Rhine and its tributaries, with surrounding mountains protecting them from inclement weather. As a whole, Germany is farther north than most other wine regions — above the 50th parallel — and this northern location has led German wine producers to rely on suitable grape varieties, those more resistant to frost and those that ripen earlier, and to develop many crossed grapes.

In the steep valleys, vineyard soils are slate. The slate can absorb the sun’s warmth and keep the grapes warmer for more hours. On the rolling hills, the soils are mostly lime and clay. The best vineyards are on steep hills, so plantings are limited and harvesting is difficult and expensive. Most of the vineyards face toward the south and southwest for maximum sun exposure for the vines. There are slightly more than 250,000 acres of vineyards in the country and there are 13 defined wine regions.

Grape growing and winemaking date back to about 70 AD, when the Romans controlled what is now Germany. Trier, which is considered to be the oldest city in Germany, was founded as a Roman garrison on the banks of the Mosel River. It is possible that wild vines were cultivated before “vitis vinifera” vines were brought into the area. Despite archeological finds of pruning knives and other tools, not much is known about the style of German wines under the Romans.

After the Romans, Charlemagne is thought to be responsible for bringing viticulture to the Rheingau.

The eastward spread of viticulture was connected to the spread of Christianity. Many of the grape varieties that are still associated with German wines date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. There is documentation of Riesling from 1435 and of Pinot Noir from 1318.

Around 1500, German vineyards had probably expanded to their greatest extent, there were more then than now even. (The decline is attributed to beer becoming the every day drink of the country.)

The secularization of most of the vineyards occurred in Germany, like many other countries in Europe, in the 19th century. In 1775, an unexpected but important wine event took place. At Schloss Johannisberg, a

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

The 2012 Steinhaus Riesling from the Mosel Valley, Germany, is the featured wine of the week. It is very aromatic with green apple and ripe melon and kumquat flavors. courier delivering permission to start the harvest was delayed by two weeks. When the Riesling grapes were harvested, they had been affected by “noble rot,” a mold on over-ripe grapes, which caused them to make sweeter wine — very, very good sweet wine. This began the intentional late harvests, with the wines referred to as “Spatlese,” German for “late harvest.” In 1971, German wine laws defined their various stages of harvesting and the wines from them.

The Mosel River, and its tributaries the Saar (pronounced “sour”) and the Ruwer (“roover”), make up one of the best known of Germany’s wine regions.

Labels on wines from this area are labeled with the three names. This region is dominated by Riesling grapes, grown on slate soils. The best are grown in very steep sloped vineyards and their wines are light and crisp with high acidity and a definite mineral quality.

There are dry wines produced, but this is the only region that sticks to Riesling wines with some residual sweetness as their standard style.

So what about Riesling makes it the great variety of German wines? This is an aromatic white variety, with flowery, almost perfumed aromas. It has high acidity and is used to make wines ranging from very dry to semisweet to sweet to sparkling. It is considered to be one of the “top three” white grapes, along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. It is clearly influenced by where it is grown, including soil type and climate. In Germany, it accounts for 20 percent of the total planted grapes.

Riesling wines are often drunk when they are young, but many of its wines are capable of aging well — some dry wines for up to 20 years and some sweet ones for up to 30 years. The town hall in Bremen, Germany, has

“Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service.”

Riesling in barrels that dates back to 1653 (quite a bit more than 20 or 30 years of aging.)

Riesling was thought to have developed from the wild vines of the Rhine region. DNA tests have since have shown it is a cross between Gouais Blanc and a cross between a wild vine and Traminer. The Rhine Valley is probably where it was born. Riesling wine flavors include lime and Meyer lemon, pineapple, apricot, nectarine, ginger, citrus blossoms, jasmine, honeysuckle, honey, apple, pear and, not exactly but something close to, pine resin. Riesling wines can range from light-bodied to medium to medium-full.

And they go with a large variety of foods including seafood and poultry and pork — with seasonings like lemongrass, soy, ginger, lime, fennel, cilantro, think fish tacos, pickled jalapeños, Moo Shu, barbecue, papaya or mango or pineapple salsas, pork with apple and onion compote, stuffed pork tenderloin with bacon and apple Riesling sauce, shrimp with sweet chile sauce, mackerel with cilantro sauce, trout almandine, gumbo, braised rabbit with mustard sauce — pretty much anything except a steak. And “pretty much” does include turkey and ham holiday meals. (There’s that “planning ahead” nudge.)

Now, all this food talk gets me hungry, and brings us at last to our wine for this week: The 2012 Steinhaus Riesling from the Mosel Valley. The 2012 growing season started slowly — the winter was harsh so bud break was in late April. A dry spring with cool temperatures ended with a lower yield than usual.

August was very warm with a lot of sun and a good September let the grapes ripen fully. Harvest was in late September. These conditions created a very aromatic wine with green apple and ripe melon and kumquat flavors. Slightly off-dry, meaning dry but fruity, with a mineral finish. Elegant and refined. Exactly what a good German Riesling can be.

As we taste this wine, now, we have to note that we are planning ahead and this is a really good wine to remember. It is available at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $12.99. Enjoy.

Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service with a hometown touch. We know you and you know us. Hometown people helping each other grow. We’re here to serve all your banking needs. Service has always been our first priority.

Searching for the perfect Gumbo recipe Now what?

By Lee Scott

Learning the local cuisine has become an adventure. Eating the fresh vegetables, the assorted seafood and desserts such as Key Lime Pie and Lemon Squares have expanded my family menu. One of the most popular dishes around appears to be the gumbo. After eating Seafood Gumbo at various restaurants, Chicken Gumbo from the grocery store and Shrimp Gumbo from the seafood market, I decided that I needed to find a good recipe. Although I have found the ball jars with gumbo at the local farmers markets, I wanted to make my own from scratch.

I typed in “Gumbo” in the search engine and found pages and pages of recipes and instructions. It didn’t take long to discover that okra was found in all the soups. I did

highlighting daily life observations

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

a little research and found that the term “gumbo” is a traditional word for okra, which I hadn’t known. Further research revealed that it is thought that the term gumbo is derived from the West African Bantu word “Ki ngombo”. So technically, it is okra soup or stew.

The recipes provided some interesting hints, like always sauté the onions and okra before you put them in the soup

stock and fresh okra is a must. When I spoke to my butcher in the local grocery store, he told me which Andouille sausage to use and he said when making Shrimp Gumbo, always use fresh shrimp. He said that the freshness of all the ingredients makes a difference in the flavor. I also got another hint in a book I recently picked up at the library titled “Sanctuary Cove” by Rochelle Alers. In the fictional novel, the

main character learns the secret to a good gumbo: Fry the okra in oil to reduce the coating before you put it in the soup. This, she is told, is the true Gullah secret to great Shrimp Gumbo.

But the best advice about my quest for the best Gumbo recipe came from a discussion with a local shrimper. He shook his head at me and said, “Never mind about a recipe. It’s who made it that’s important. There was never any better Shrimp Gumbo in the whole world than my grandmother’s Shrimp Gumbo. She threw everything in the pot and served it with corn bread.”

I thought about his comments and realized that no matter what recipe I use, my grandchildren will remember that they had the best Shrimp Gumbo ever from their grandmother. Wise man.

letters to the editor More boat owners should participate in Parade of Boats

We all know the holidays are coming rapidly, so we wanted to make this request with ample time to prepare for the “Parade of Boats” for the 2014 event on our waterways.

Last year, the parade was advertised in various modes of media and the turnout of spectators was tremendous! There was no place to park in downtown Beaufort, so people walked from many locations to enjoy this festive occasion. There were tourists, locals, business people, families and even lots of pet dogs. It was hyped up to be such an auspicious occasion that one would not want to miss it!

Well, there were only seven boats in the entire parade to represent all the boat owners, businesses and waterfront property owners in Beaufort, which is surrounded by water. There are docks and boats everywhere you look in our town, but only seven bothered to decorate and ride in our battery for the holiday parade of boats! Needless to say, it was over in seven minutes and a disappointment to all the spectators who dressed up, spent money at local restaurants to eat, bought gas, put money in parking meters, stressed out due to lack of parking, bought libations, coffee, tea, ice cream, etc., even souvenirs and trinkets.

We are in awe of the fact that with all the boat owners in “Beautiful Beaufort By the Bay” that there was such a lack of participation for such an auspicious occasion to create pleasant family memories for our

26

town. Maybe it should be mandatory for the boat owners who dock right at our waterfront and tie up our waterways and contribute to the pollution of our Beaufort waterfront property downtown. They should feel obligated to participate in the downtown festivity of the “Parade of Boats.” After all, they dock downtown all year-round, so why not decorate for the parade and show appreciation by being part of the event.

Disappointed Citizens of Beaufort, SC

Sometimes The Salvation Army doesn’t act very neighborly

Last Saturday, our neighborhood held an event to get to know one of the candidates running for Beaufort City Council. It was nothing fancy, big or raucous, just a chance for neighbors to get together and learn more about the issues in this upcoming election with chips, hot dogs and beverages.

We figured most people would walk, but anticipating that some may choose to drive, we offered up a suggestion that they could find a few parking spaces at the Salvation Army. Living next to the Salvation Army for eight years, we know they do not use the building on Saturday evenings, and we have informally used it in the past during neighborhood events without incident.

Apparently, word travelled back to the powers-thatbe and they told us we are not to use the parking lot. The irony is that the Salvation Army, a civic organization, is forbidding use of their parking lot for a civic event.

We understand that it is their property and they have every right to restrict its use. We also understand there

are other charities to donate to this holiday season.

Beaufort is the best place to start a small business

“I believe that Beaufort is the best place to start a business because it is big enough to provide good word of mouth and small enough not to be run out by the large box stores.” Owner of Beaufort Dog, Kelley Blackston, believes the secret to her business success is the atmosphere and people of Beaufort. She is an expert in behavior and training (a local dog whisperer).

She and her husband, Jason, started as a part-time hobby out of their home on Lady’s Island. Since, she has teamed up with her marketing consultant husband, and groomer Micheal Moreria to create an all inclusive dog spa, daycare, boarding, and training business. It only took one year to win over the first vote of best pet boarding and grooming. Beaufort Dog was voted best five years in a row this year, proving that the small, family business thrives in Beaufort, SC. It is also still reasonable to get a decent space downtown.

Recently, the owners have expanded, with a small equine staff and boarding services in Seabrook, and start-up marketing services for other start-up businesses seeking the same results. They have also added a third child in addition to many, many furry ones into their family.

The Blackstons and Beaufort Dog want to thank Beaufort County for being so small-business and family friendly.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

Why get a dog?

By Tracie Korol

The decision to get a dog is not something to be taken lightly. While the sweet face of a puppy can tug our heartstrings into an impulse buy, we need to know, up front, the significant investment of time and money that little charmer will require. Socializing and training a new puppy is time consuming and, occasionally, frustrating. Working to provide all that is necessary to successfully integrate a dog into a family environment can increase the amount of stress on the family and the dog, This is especially true if the primary caregiver(s) are working outside the home and/or have young children, are themselves elderly or infirm, have an elderly parent, or other persons and pets to care for. This does not mean that it cannot be done. But, prospective dog owners often underestimate the investment of time, energy and money required. Making this decision impulsively can lead to frustration, disappointment, and possibly result in the surrender of the dog to a shelter or rescue.

The first question you should ask yourself honestly is: Why do I (we) want a dog? Is your answer: For my children: Trust me, this will be your dog. After the honeymoon period the kids may play with the dog, occasionally. Guaranteed, they will whine about dog-related responsibilities, doing them grudgingly, only after significant

As children’s interests and activities change over the years, their level of involvement with the dog will most likely be inconsistent, at best. Additionally, your children, especially, young children, will need to be trained in how to behave with the dog and will need to be supervised when with the dog.

For protection: The only time is it a good idea to get a dog for the purpose of protection is in professional or agricultural situations and only when the owner is humane and knowledgeable of dog behavior and dominant dog handling. In all other situations an alarm system or security fence are much more appropriate and effective.

To breed puppies: The breeding of dogs is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. If it is not your intention to

remain responsible for all of your puppies for their entire lives, including being willing to take back and care for those that may find themselves homeless, do not enter into this endeavor. If you are planning on breeding for profit, understand that there are much easier, more profitable and more ethical ways to make a buck. Dogs are living beings and dog breeding requires a significant investment of time, money, labor, knowledge, both academic and practical, patience, and emotional fortitude, to be done responsibly and humanely. Visit the county shelter and witness the problem yourself.

Look at the faces of the homeless dogs and talk to the volunteers and staff who, all too often, must take that final walk with them.

Because BreedX is cool, was in a movie, is unique and exotic, is free or cheap: One of the worst reasons to get a dog is because of their physical appearance or popularity due to a movie or TV show. Often, these venues feature exotic, rare or unique breeds that are, in the overwhelming majority of pet situations, unsuitable as companions.

Also, remember that a free dog is never free. When your friend, coworker or relative offers you one of Fluffy’s puppies think hard about the necessary investment over the next 16 years.

Dogs require significant financial, physical, time, and environmental resources. Dogs are not the fulfillment of ANY fantasy. The responsibilities are legion through all stages of dog-hood and continue on after you’re gone. How many dog owners, for instance, have a plan, in writing, for the dog in case of their disability or demise? Your dog should become your Best Friend, after all. Make the right decision at the right time for the right reasons and for the best possible outcome.
