hief Negron said he is retiring to dedicate time to his family as he fights Multiple Sclerosis, which he was diagnosed with in 2005. He will continue to be a member of the team as a fire consultant to the city, Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. Negron, named Fire Chief in March 2010, originally joined the Beaufort Fire Department in 1999 as a Firefighter Recruit. Before that, he served 12 years in the U.S. Marine Corps with service supporting Operations Desert Shield/ Desert Storm and military involvement in Somalia, and he served in Bosnia. He was honorably discharged from the Marines after being injured in a training incident. “I love firefighting and I love our brotherhood of firefighters,” Negron said. “This has not been an easy decision, but it is the right decision. I will continue to support the City of Beaufort and the Fire Department because there is so much happening, so much good stuff to make Beaufort a better and safer community.” He served four years as a Beaufort firefighter recruit volunteer before joining the professional force. As he nears retirement, Beaufort is in the final stages of building a new fire

Keep our senior citizens safe this Halloween While seniors may love to see children in costumes on Halloween night, the constant door knocking, masked visitors and unfamiliar faces can be intimidating. After all, 1/3 of seniors who live at home, live alone—and most are women. That’s why Visiting Angels, one of the largest in-home care companies for seniors in the nation, offers seniors and their families a chance to hire a“Halloween Helper” on October 31st. If relatives can’t be with their senior loved one that night, Visiting Angels’ “Halloween Helpers” make it possible for seniors to experience the fun (not the fear) of the holiday! Visiting Angels’ Halloween Helpers shop for candy, help prepare seniors’ homes for a safe Halloween, answer the
door, help hand out candy to trick-ortreaters, and simply provide seniors peace of mind during the flood of visitors. How can Halloween Helpers make it easier and safer? • Provide a sense of security so any possible troublemakers get the idea someone is at home. Never leave a senior with dementia or physical limitations home alone on Halloween – they are more sensitive to noises and unfamiliar faces. • Keep guests outside - never let an unknown trick-or-treater inside to use the bathroom or make a phone call. • Turn on interior and exterior lights during trick-or-treating hours even if no one is home or if the senior chooses not
DAR pitches in to help
During October the Thomas Heyward, Jr. Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Beaufort donated 10 cases of purified drinking water, 12 gallon jugs of purified drinking water, 8 cartons of assorted baby cereal, 8 cartons of assorted baby formula, 6 packages of diapers and 6 packages of diaper wipes for flood victims in the Columbia, SC, area. The United Way of the Lowcountry was coordinating local donations which were delivered by Chapter Treasurer Nancy Hailston, Past Regent Charlene Shufelt and her husband. Jim Shufelt is seen unloading the donations.
to answer the door. • Post a sign on the door that says “Sorry, No More Candy” when the goodies run out. • Make sure all floors, entry ways and porches are free from decorations. • Remove any Halloween décor that involves flames, such as a lit pumpkin, from outside stairs and footpaths. This is a fire hazard for the dozens of kids stopping by with tails and capes. • Place carved pumpkins outside to keep the smell out and bugs away. • Avoid window decorations that block light or the view of the front entry. To reach the local Visiting Angel chapter, call (843) 757-1002. Have a spooktacular and safe Halloween!

Lowcountry Giving Day 2016 plans announced Local tech firm Bidr to host event & create custom platform, CCF to sponsor and provide strategic support Lowcountry Giving Day 2016 will take place on May 3rd, 2016, hosted by local tech firm Bidr and sponsored by Coastal Community Foundation. Any registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit in CCF’s 9 county service area will be eligible to register for the third year of the multi-million dollar fundraising event. Interested groups may secure matching funds for the event as CCF will no longer be doing so, but securing matching funds will not be mandatory for participation. “Lowcountry Giving Day has been a spectacular event for the past two years,” said Richard Hendry, Interim CEO of Coastal Community Foundation, “and we want the day to continue to be a catalyst for charitable gifts. We’re happy to have been in the lead role, but now it makes sense for us to pass the baton to partners whose work is better aligned with on-line giving and providing tech

He has been an inspiration to all of us.” Key accomplishments under Negron’s command include: · Working with the Town of Port Royal to establish a centralized fire department · Improving the ISO fire insurance rating for Port Royal and strengthening Beaufort’s rating. · Reorganizing the fire department to

support to nonprofits. Although securing commitments from donors of matching funds for Lowcountry Giving Day will no longer be our responsibility, inviting all charities to secure their own matching gift donors opens the door to far broader participation from the nonprofit sector throughout our service area.” As event host, Bidr will manage all project logistics, marketing and collaboration between partners, including Lowcountry Giving Day’s nonprofit training partner, the S.C. Association for Nonprofit Organizations (SCANPO). A comprehensive nonprofit training series improve efficiency, expertise and service · Changing the types of fire trucks and other apparatus so the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department has the right types of equipment to respond to calls across northern Beaufort County · Working cooperatively with the Burton and Lady’s Island-St. Helena Island Fire District to establish automatic aid agreements · Participated in a study of the Beaufort Fire Department in 20092010 by the International City/County Management Association. Findings from that study shaped his reorganization of the department upon being named Fire Chief in early 2010. · Recruited and built a very strong organization. “Our fire chief is a good man,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “Along with that, he’s also an exceptional fire chief, a well-respected leader, a very good department manager, and an important part of this community. We wish him all the best.” Port Royal Mayor Samuel Murray said

501(c) 3 nonprofits, registered with the S.C. Secretary of State’s office and operate in CCF’s service area to be eligible to participate. The registration page is not yet available but will be shared online by Bidr and CCF at the end of October.
Negron will be missed. “Chief Negron never stops working as a firefighter,” Murray said. “He has raised the bar for what we all expect in a fire chief. He was very important in the work it took to improve the Town of Port Royal’s insurance fire rating and in the efforts to get the new Ribaut Road fire station built.” Negron was born and raised in the City of Ponce located in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. After
serving two years of National Guard Duty in Puerto Rico, in 1987 he joined the United States Marine Corps and attended boot camp at Parris Island. He is a graduate of the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland and earned an Associate of Applied Science in Fire Science and a Bachelor’s of Science in Fire Science cum laude. In 1998, Negron was named Volunteer Firefighter of the Year for Beaufort, and he repeated that honor in 2006 as the Career Firefighter of the Year. In 2003 he earned the Firehouse Magazine Medal for Valor and Courage and the U.S. Congressional Fire Service Institute Award for Dedication and Valor. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in fire science and is accredited by numerous firefighting agencies, including the National Fire Protection Association, the International Code Council and the International Fire Service Accrediting Council. Chief Negron is married to Nina Negron and together they are the proud parents of one daughter and two sons and a granddaughter.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
BRITTNEY HILLER BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA BRITTNEY HILLER YOGA, OWNER
“...seeing the ‘ah ha!’ moments in clients are what I live for!!” Photo by John Arthur Photography
Big ideas equal a big mess! By Molly Ingram
I came away from an afternoon chat with an amazing young woman which was part “get to know you” and part “doggie play date” with an incredible sense of wellbeing. Being with Brittney Hiller is simply exhilarating. Brittney owns Brittney Hiller Yoga and she is an accomplished yoga instructor, published author, outstanding massage therapist, and a breath of fresh air all rolled into one. “Anyone who is willing to change their life will change their life and I am elated to help them get started. I am a catalyst for their overall health change for those who want it.” Have you ever heard of Laughter Yoga? I hadn’t either. It is a real thing and Brittney teaches it on a regular basis. The idea is that clients get more oxygen, and a way to relieve stress and reduce anxiety all while laughing. We have all heard the expression, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Well, Laughter Yoga incorporates two known benefits for our bodies into one experience. What a great idea. “I laugh through all of my classes, I say the most random things and it wasn’t until I was told by a cohort that I was ‘the only yoga teacher that I know that will say OM with a rap at the end.’ I didn’t realize my singing came out often, but clearly it does and above and beyond all things I truly am still just a kid and LOVE to have fun with those that choose to spend their time with me. One will never know what may come out of my mouth during a yoga class!” I don’t doubt it for one minute. 6
At the wise old age of 32, and with a background in customer service, Brittney understands the challenges of today’s world for many of us. Between massage and yoga, she works to make all of our lives better. “I work with people who are missing that extra boost of happiness and energy in their life; through yoga and massage therapy I help them create a foundation of happiness and wellbeing by empowering their healthiest and happiest way of living.” Brittney is a true renaissance woman. Her mind is always going and exploring new arenas where just about anything can be created. Enter The Little Laughing Yogini, a children’s book Brittney launched last spring which is the basis for teaching yoga to youngsters. “Play is a terrific method of getting little ones on the right path early in life by instilling the benefits of breathing correctly. Plus it allows their imagination to develop and present itself in a safe, encouraging, and supportive environment.” Coming soon will be Mommy & Me Playshops and Story Times incorporating The Little Laughing Yogini, the ancillary coloring book, and yoga techniques all wrapped in a package to deliver new ways for parents to play with their children. Brittney enjoys all that she does. “Let me tell you a story about an 83 year old gentleman who had limited strength in his left quadriceps when we started working together six months ago. Today, he can stand

freely on his own without the help of the chair in most balancing positions during yoga class. These are the experiences are what light me up inside—seeing the ‘ah ha!’ moments in clients are what I live for!! I simply LOVE helping people become their most amazing self! I know it is there—they know it is there—yet sometimes they just need that gentle reminder and that is what I feel I am good at – giving that gentle push without being too pushy.” I asked Brittney what the future held for her and her answer describes her better than I ever could. “FUN! I am planning on yoga teaching at festivals, laughter yoga therapy sessions for big corporations that want to better the wellbeing and community feel for their workers, taking the little yogini childrens book and adding new modules to it - I have writ-
ten comes out and replaced by adding new modules to it and making more microcourses available on my website for people who would love to practice with me, but haven’t the time or ability to get to a class. Basically, Just more all-out-FUN. I live with the constant intention of discovering how today can unfold better than I could ever imagine? Then, it often does!” With her husband Andrew, and Armani and Abby, two rescue pups, by her side, the world is looking pretty good for Brittney and those who get the chance to meet her, or even better, work with her. She is a breath of fresh air in a world that can use more of it, literally and figuratively. Where was a yoga playshop when I grew up? You can read more about Brittney at BrittneyHillerYoga.com or purchase The Little Laughing Yogi at Amazon. com or at several local retailers.

Holy smokes, I did it!
By Molly Ingram
I am now at the eight week mark of this amazing Body Makeover Program. And I am still in one piece – albeit a smaller piece than I was when I started. Team Amy continues to provide challenges coupled with the team members who add the support to get you through it. As with many things that we were tested on in the beginning that I couldn’t do at all, I am now seeing definite progress whether it is on how long I can hold a plank position or how many “crunches” I can do in a minute, I am getting better. Here’s a concrete example. Two weeks ago, our team took our Friday class at noon to walk the McTeer Bridge that goes from Port Royal to Lady’s Island. We met at the car park at Cat Island and headed out. We all made it across the bridge and back which is 2.2 miles but with some significant huffing and puffing on my part going up the inclined part of the bridge. Last week we did it again. But this time, we all did it faster than our original times and without any of my huffing and puffing and short rests along the way. And this time I remembered the sunscreen! Now there will be other teams who are able to run—not walk—across this bridge and that’s great but I have learned that this journey is all about me and nobody else. Being able to do a push up at the beginning was totally impossible. Today I can do a couple before I collapse. And then I find I will try it again. And it’s the trying it again which is the key to the wellbeing that you feel while in the Beaufort Memorial LifeFit Body Makeover program. We took all our measurements again at about the midpoint mark and I am happy to say that there is less of me in most places except my neck which got bigger. Seriously? Must be measuring error. I have lost some weight which I am really happy about and people are just beginning to notice which is also nice but it is hardly the be-all and endall of this journey. The weight loss and body contouring is just the tip of the iceberg of what you get. The pros at the gym have continually worked with me on my blood pressure which seems to be a work in progress. It
has gone from too low after exercising to being perfect after exercising and too high in the morning before class. I have no concerns about getting the meds and my activity level and weight organized but trying to do that in a basic gym program just wouldn’t happen. Yesterday, Saturday at 8:30 a.m., I found myself heading up the four flights of stairs to attend a nutrition lecture given by Ricca Callis, an amazing young lady who has a degree in something I can’t even pronounce much less spell. What it means is that she understands how all the parts of food work together in our bodies. I admit to being totally flummoxed by much of the terminology in the world of nutrition and I really didn’t get how important is all is to how you feel and how well your body performs. Yes, we all know “food is fuel” and I know that carbs equal sugar which equals “you eat too much of them Molly” but I didn’t get all the disparate aspects of not only the type of carb or protein or fat a food might be but which ones you need and which ones are harmful. Honestly. I still don’t get it all—Zoo things and Phyto things still seem kind of alien to me but the program has found a way to take all of that and put it in “doable” suggestions. Our Body Makeover book which is at least 300 pages, is chocked full of good, healthy ways to solve issues. I know I am not eating enough greens or getting enough protein each day. So, I have ways I am going to try and rebalance what I am eating. As a member of the original cleanplate-club, I am learning about portion control and what combinations of foods I need before a workout. It would have been so helpful if I had liked vegetables and fruit when I came into this program but I am actually beginning to enjoy some of them. My life is no longer just meat and potatoes. And there is nothing on the “you can’t eat any of this” on my menus. You can treat yourself to what you love every now and again. But so far I have found that my mind might say, “oh great, a giant chocolate chip cookie” but my body says, “I’m not so happy with all that garbage you just put in me” which totally takes all of the fun out of eating a cookie. But the most important lesson I have
From top: Coach Amy (on left) joined by the the rest of Team Amy; Mondays are arm days which means lifting weights to tone and trim; Team Amy walking across the McTeer Bridge.
learned so far is that there is no 12 or 20 week program that is the solution to my problems. The Body Makeover program is just the framework for teaching you how to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. Do I feel better? Absolutely. Do I look better? Yes! But it is in my head that the big changes have occurred. I am the one now making the choices

Studies have shown that a Paleo-type diet embraces those nutrients that allow our individual cells to survive and thrive, and has been the way of eating through the course of human evolution. I will go into a full description of this way of eating in a future installment, but first I will discuss the connections and underlying causes of chronic inflammation and chronic disease? Here is the connection – the vicious cycle. What goes into our mouths affects our good bacteria and our overall health. Our gut bacteria are the major players in health and disease. Our guts never evolved to deal with acellular carbohydrates effectively. These acellular carbohydrates changed the gut bacteria (known as the gut microbiome) and increased the harmful types of microbes. Harmful bacteria and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are cell membrane remnants of dead gram-negative bacteria, began to proliferate in the gut causing irritation and 8

imbalance of bacteria. This is an unhealthy development. I have created this diagram to help you visualize the damaging part of gram-negative bacteria. My diagram is a make-believe bacterium, half of which represents a gram-positive bacterium and the other half represents a gram-negative bacterium. The left half is the gram-positive part and the right half is the gram-negative part. The cytoplasm (the liquid center of the cell) is noted in the center and the cell membrane is identified with white arrows.
the island news | october 22-28, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
The most distinguishing feature telling the two bacteria apart is the outer layer of their cell membranes. The outer layer of the cell membrane of the grampositive bacterium is relatively smooth; the outer layer of the cell membrane of the gram-negative bacterium is extremely jagged. This rough layer is known as the Lipopolysaccharide outer shell, and it only occurs on gram-negative types. After gram-negative bacteria die, the LPS remnants can act like spurs. They become serious problems if they get into the bloodstream. An accumulation of unhealthy bacteria in our gut is not the only problem. Ingested toxins also can irritate the intestinal lining. In addition, our digestive system never evolved to completely breakdown the proteins in grains. In the next installment I will describe how LPS, toxins, and undigested proteins get into the bloodstream to cause havoc.

Celebrities visit local high schools for workshops More than 3,000 Beaufort County high school students – every sophomore and junior in the district – will learn about leadership and building a stronger sense of self this week when the 2015 Live Sonima Tour rolled into town. In collaboration with the Sonima Foundation, this highly touted tour is an interactive multimedia event that encourages students to become selfstarters and lifelong learners by taking advantage of their unique talents and skills. The hosts are best-selling author and leadership expert Stedman Graham and singer-songwriter Caroline Jones. Beaufort County is the second stop for the 2015 Live Sonima Tour, which began recently in Memphis. The tour will stop at 12 cities and reach approximately
“The Live Sonima Tour generally appears in much larger markets, so to have them here is quite a feather in Beaufort County’s cap,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. 65,000 high school students at 100 different schools. “The Live Sonima Tour generally appears in much larger markets, so to have them here is quite a feather in Beaufort County’s cap,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “They have a powerful message, not just for students but also for parents and teachers and community members at the evening workshops.” The two-part program at Beaufort County high schools will feature a mix of Jones’ acoustic music performances and her inspirational storytelling
sessions, which urge students to pursue their talents and passions. That will be followed by Graham’s workshop. “We are telling the kids that we know you have all this information, we know you’re overwhelmed and stressed and that you have people telling you what to do,” Graham said in a recent interview. “It all comes down to having a stronger sense of identity. What we are trying to do is keep you focused on who you are and help you organize all of the things that are happening in your life.”
In addition to the school events aimed at students, there also will be a free workshop open to parents, teachers and community members. Tonight, from 6-8 p.m. at Beaufort High, Graham will explain how successful communities are built on successful individuals. Participants will be challenged to identify strengths, talents and resources they can develop within themselves. Graham is the author of 11 books, including two New York Times bestsellers. Jones is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, radio show host, author and founder of The Heart is Smart Initiative, a curriculum and school tour that works to inspire and provide students a medium of expression through music.

The Beaufort Academy Kindergarten Building had special guests come visit! BA parent, and fireman, Jon Bekemeyer and his fellow firemen brought in two firetrucks for the students to explore! He taught them about fire prevention, and showed them how much gear a firefighter needs to wear while putting out fires. Students also learned of the noises they should expect during an emergency. PK-2, PK-3, PK-4, and Kindergarten were also able to walk through a firetruck and sit in the driver’s seat! So very exciting for everyone! Thank you to the Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire Department for coming in, we appreciate all that you do!

Verdi’s Il Trovatore rescheduled for October 24, 12:55 p.m., at USCB Center for the Arts By Alan Schuster
While the heavy rains on October 3rd made it hopeless to screen Verdi’s masterpiece that afternoon at the Center for the Arts, the rescheduling has yielded a bit of good news for opera fans. Since Il Trovatore requires a cast of four outstanding ‘Verdian voices’, here are some excerpts about that HD performance drawn from two prominent critics - Heidi Waleson, Wall Street Journal, and Anthony Tommasini, N.Y Times. [W for Heidi and T for Anthony]. W: “Soprano Anna Netrebko was flawless as the doomed heroine, Leonora, effortlessly traversing Verdi’s difficult terrain that ranges from the softly delicate to the powerfully passionate.” T: “Ms. Netrebko sounded wonderful, singing with plush, penetrating sound and affecting character.” W: “Tenor Yonghoon Lee was an aggressive, impulsive and worthy Manrico...and a clear tenor voice that easily sliced through the loudest and thickest orchestral passages.” T: “The clarion-voiced South Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee...gave a fearless and stalwart performance.” W: “Dolora Zajick as the crafty, revenge-minded gypsy Azucena...added both mystery and malice to her marvel-
ous characterization.” T: “The powerhouse Dolora Zajick still owns this role!” And finally, these praiseworthy remarks about the charismatic Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky who made known in late June that he had a brain tumor. After undergoing treatment for his ailment which reports suggest is non-cancerous, his return to the Met stage was a brave performance which the audience greatly appreciated. W: “Mr. Hvorostovsky showed up ready to play Saturday, playing his part to the hilt and singing with great authority and skill, almost as if nothing had happened this past summer.” T: “Hvorostovsky gave a gripping performance as Count di Luna. His resplendent voice, with its distinctive mellow character sounded not at all compromised. He sang with Verdian lyricism...and when called for, chilling intensity.”

Massage Envy makes Island Girls Night Out relaxing to the max! Once again, Island Girls Night Out was a blast. More than 75 ladies met at Massage Envy in the Cross Creek Mall and enjoyed a mini-massage plus a hand massage - all free of charge. Seriously, there is no better way to end the work day than with a massage. Sushi, cheese platters, vegetables with great dip all made the wait easier when you paired it with some lovely wine or champagne served by a cute young man! Rub my tired muscles while I sip some bubbly…can we do it again? And then there was Irene and Bob handing out wonderful door prizes accompanied with lively banter as they usually do. All in all it was a great night!

Time to play games – it’s good for your brain! Now what?
By Lee Scott
When we were children, we used to play games on actual boards. Monopoly, Scrabble and Checkers were three of the top sellers. I remember a particularly long game of Monopoly when I was little and my mother needed us out of her hair. My older brother, younger sister and I played it all day. What a great way for my mother to keep us occupied. It took years for me to play the game again because I had overdosed on buying houses and going to jail. But now games are different. Our electronic world has turned into a large game board. Games are played on television sets, computers and phones. There are a multitude of electronic games you can download on your phone and can play anywhere. Several months

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.
ago, my son told me about a game he was playing called Trivia Crack. I was not tempted until I was out with my friend Noel and she was playing the game with a friend of hers from out of town. It sounded interesting, so I downloaded the app. Now, I have five games going at a time which is my personal limit. When I told my daughter about it she exclaimed.
“Mom, you are officially a gamer.” My previous naïve perception of a gamer had been some long haired college student sitting with his friends playing games for hours. That description has changed. We gamers come in all forms now. My sixyear-old grandson is a gamer. He has incredible manual dexterity. It reminds me of his uncle playing video games at the same
age. My game is a bit more cerebral. It is like playing Jeopardy. There are different categories. Geography (one of my favorites) Entertainment, Sports (my worst category), History, Arts, and Science. You spin the dial (pressing a button) and questions appear. Fortunately, you are provided with four multiple choice answers, so you have a chance of getting it correct. The game can be played at any age because the range of questions is so broad. Now I can justify being a gamer because the recent medical literature supports seniors keeping their brains sharp. It is true that I know nothing about Myrus Ciley, but I did recently answer a question correctly about Copernicus. Well, enough of this writing, my phone just buzzed. Time to game!
The mysterious penny for kids and cars By Bill Rauch
In adversity there’s opportunity. The recent nepotism scandal and its perceived cover-up at the Beaufort County School District presents Beaufort County the opportunity to actually get a penny sales tax passed in November, 2016 when before the scandal the chances were dim indeed. Don’t get me wrong. The sides are splintered today, but there’s an obvious place for them to come together, by say New Year’s, and with some solid lawyering and political leadership they will. Hilton Head County Councilman Stu Rodman hinted at the unusual “all together” place at County Council’s Finance Committee meeting on Monday. But the proposal is so unusual no one at the meeting even asked him to flesh it out. Here’s where the various sides are today. School District officials now say a new school bond referendum is a nonstarter. They are instead considering a 15 year penny sales tax to raise the money they need for schools, District Superintendent Jeff Moss said Monday. There’s a $450 million price tag on that one, and it’s Dead on Arrival. Meanwhile the municipalities, with the exception of Hilton Head, want to reprise the failed Local Option Sales Tax that would provide to them a permanent dribble of money they can use for facilities maintenance and other small projects, Beaufort County Finance Committee Chairman Jerry Stewart reported to his committee Monday. That one’s DOA too because it won’t get the votes on County Council to put it on the ballot. And then there’s the Town of Hilton Head Island and Beaufort County who are moving forward in tandem with

capital improvements sales tax proposals for parks, roads and bridges. By not voting to stop their exploratory committee from exploring these options County Council signaled Monday they are looking in that direction. Some members like Rick Caporale and Brian Flewelling say go ahead and put all three measures — schools, roads, and facilities maintenance — on the ballot and let the voters decide which one or ones they feel like paying for. But the grand master on the County Council, Bill McBride from St. Helena Island, knows given three choices the voters will vote “No” to all three, and he said so on Monday. If it is kids or cars or facilities maintenance for pennies on the November, 2016 ballot, all three will surely crater. But kids and cars together in one measure with the right campaign behind it might just pass. Here are the politics. In the last statewide election, the 2014 gubernatorial THANK

contest, 37 percent of the votes in Beaufort County came from north of the Broad River with 32 percent coming from Hilton Head Island and 31 percent coming from the Bluffton/Sun City precincts. So any sales tax measure will have to offer something worth their paying for to each of these three disparate groups. Bluffton badly needs a new middle school and a new elementary school now, and Hilton Head needs to expand its high school and middle school facilities soon. However, north of the Broad River the needs for new classrooms are far less pressing. So Bluffton votes for kids and Hilton Head casts half its vote for kids. But Hilton Head’s leadership needs hurricane evacuation relief as well. In particular they legitimately say they need a wider bridge to replace the Graves Bridge that connects the island via US 278 to the mainland. So they cast the other half of their vote for cars. Then, if they can’t have the dribble from the Local Option Sales Tax, the leaders from the northern part of the county have said they want their crumbling roads and sidewalks repaired, and maybe in Port Royal some new sidewalks. Furthermore, Beaufort wants a downtown public parking structure that its leadership will legitimately argue will benefit not just the downtown merchants but visitors to downtown who come in from Lady’s Island, St. Helena Island, Shell Point, Burton and beyond. So that’s a vote and a half for cars. Faced with these political realities the crucial question for the School Board will be: “To get what we need

Wines and laws we’re used to, but scandals?
By Celia Strong
Oh, boy! Wines and laws we’re used to, but scandals? Oooh. What fun. Of course, to me, we always have fun, but a little extra gossip and such always goes well with a glass of wine. So, no wasting time. We’re off. We land in the Beaujolais area. The southern tip of the Burgundy region in eastern France. We should probably remind ourselves that Beaujolais Nouveau is almost here. This is the first wine of the French harvest every vintage. The grapes are picked, gently pressed and fermented, and the bottles are legally sold on the third Thursday of every November. Just weeks old. Besides the Nouveau wine, other Beaujolais are made, some labelled with specific villages where their grapes come from. (These are called “Cru Beaujolais,” and we’ll see some of them later in the fall.) Between the Nouveau wines, the Cru wines and other tiers of Beaujolais wines, 99% of the wines from the sub region are reds. Made from Gamay grapes. But, leave it to us. We have a white Beaujolais as our wine this week! Beaujolais Blanc is the appellation for white wines made from Chardonnay grown in this specific sub region. This appellation was established in 1937. But, no grower can plant his vineyards with more than 10%’white varieties. Most of the grapes are grown in the northern part of Beaujolais, very close to the Mâcon area just over the appellation line. There are nearly 200 producers making Beaujolais Blanc. In some vintages, Beaujolais production, red and white, is more than the whole rest of Burgundy. But, let’s slide over to the scandals for a quick look. First, “the shit case.” (It’s such fun to have a job where we have to learn about such things! And get to talk out loud about them. I really wanted that to be the title this week, too, but I lost my nerve.) In the 2001 vintage, more than 1.1 million cases of Beaujolais had to be destroyed. Mostly Nouveau. Mind you, 1.1 million cases - not bottles. For the ten or so years prior to 2001, the sales of Beaujolais Nouveau had grown and grown. And, through those years, as more and more was sold, the quality went downhill. With the 2001 vintage, so much wine was produced with such poor quality, consumers revolted. French
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
wine critic, François Mauss wrote that the crash in sales was due to the poor quality of the wines. He called them “vins de merde.” Shit wines. Literally. Of course, Beaujolais producers could have sued him for libel. But, instead, they found an obscure law that held it was illegal to denigrate French products. The magazine where Mauss worked was fined about $350,000 and went out of business. (Later, in 2005, an appeals court ordered the Beaujolais producers to pay the magazine’s court costs.) In 2005, there was another Beaujolais scandal. The Duboeuf company was accused of mixing poor quality 2004 juice with some from better vintages. The company claimed whatever happened was human error, the person responsible resigned and none of the questioned wine was ever sold. And, in 2007, five people were arrested for selling over 600 tons of sugar in Beaujolais. Up to 100 growers were accused of using the sugar to augment their wines’ alcohol levels. A definite no no. Enough fun, though. Back to our lesson so we can get to our wine for this week. The Chardonnay grapes used to make Beaujolais Blanc grow on three types of soils. About a third of them on granite based soil, which gives the wine finesse. A third on siliceous clay for weight and a third on limestone clay for depth of flavors. Many if the

fines making these wines are 70 years old or more. Our Beaujolais Blancs, the Domaine des Mouilles is a real find. It is a round, rich and fatty Chardonnay. It has aromas of fresh flowers, apples and crisp lemon and lime citrus notes. And, there is a good level of minerality on the finish. An Old World style Chardonnay with some New World touches. And lots to eat with this wine. Cheddar cheese fondue, crab cakes, Dover sole with lemon parsley sauce (a Burgundian stable), veal, seafood risotto, salmon, tuna, duck with orange sauce, turkey Tettrazini (Be thinking leftovers!), ripe Brie with apple slices, chicken soup, chicken and rice casserole. Oops, it’s time to go again. Some of us are thirsty and

Should you dress your pet in a Halloween costume? By Dr. Parker T. Barker
It’s that time of year again when owners, who are mostly reasonable for 11 months and 30 days of the year, suddenly turn into Wacko Woman at Halloween. Every October 31st, out come the costumes that seem to get bigger, shinier, and more ridiculous every year. Mom’s rationale is that with everybody dressed up looking like a hot dog or a Star Wars character, her two dogs would love to be included in the festivities. Did she ask us? No. Would we have said, “Sure go ahead and make me look like a frog.” I don’t think so. But some pets do enjoy it. I have met cats that looked more like a pirate than Johnny Depp does. But there are some pros and cons to making your pet a mobile decoration for Halloween. First, if your dog has a very independent and dominate personality, they may not enjoy costumes. If your dog has a bulky costume on their body, they may feel that their place in the pecking order is being threatened. This can result in your dog becoming scared and freezing up, or in acting out to regain normalcy in their lives. Cats can sometimes react by simply shredding the costume and perhaps your hand at the same time. Costumes are restrictive by nature and that really doesn’t sit well with a lot of pets. But if we haven’t convinced you this is a really bad idea for a lot of pets, try and accustom your dog or cat to their costume ahead of time. And remember, NO CHOCOLATE! You have got to keep an eye on the candy if someone like me is around. Mom calls me a 4-legged
Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.
vacuum whatever that is. So here are my thoughts on how to do this with minimal stress to your pet: • Purchase your pet’s costume early so you can help him become used to wearing it over a period of two to four weeks. • Bring your dog along with you when you purchase the costume (if possible). Stores may not allow you to try the costume on your dog, but you can at least estimate the size by holding it up to his body. • When fitting a costume, check the seams around the neck, feet, and tail. If it feels tight, it’s most likely uncomfortable and potentially hazardous to their health. • After purchasing the costume, take it home and begin getting your pet used to it at least several days before Halloween. Sometimes treats will be enough incentive to keep your pet in the costume at least for a short time. If your pet attempts to remove the costume, or if he seems unhappy or uncomfortable even after you have followed all this advice, don’t force him to wear it. Remove the costume and either attempt a simpler idea (such as having him wear a festive Halloween bandana) or allow him to skip a costume altogether.
Professor Percy Pussycat at a gala event last Halloween.
You have to recognize that while simple training and lots of treats may suffice for many pets, others simply will not put up with wearing a costume. I would be one of those. And don’t forget, for safety’s sake, it is also a good idea to attach reflective patches to your pets costume so he is easy to see on Halloween night. Trickor-treating with your canine can be fun (as long as he is friendly, non-aggressive
to animals or people, and not afraid of costumed kids), but safety is a crucial factor. If he is uncomfortable going out with the hoards on Halloween night, keep him inside and have him help you greet trick-or-treaters. Most kids are thrilled when they meet a Zombie with four feet. So have a happy Halloween everybody. Please, please just let me know when it is November.

What is Your risk tolerance? The most important thing to know about investing is that it involves risk. In fact, all investments carry some degree of risk. Even if you hide your money in a shoebox under the bed, there is still a risk that it might be stolen or that its value will decrease over time due to inflation. The best thing to do then is learn how to potentially minimize the risk, and make good judgments based on your individual risk tolerance. Here are some tips to help you identify your risk tolerance so you can make smart investment decisions. First, identify your investment goals. Do your goals include retirement, college funding, or a major purchase, such as a home? Then determine your time frame for each particular goal. Generally, the longer the time frame, the more risk the investment portfolio can absorb, because there is potentially more time to recover from the ups and downs of market cycles. That means that your age and the length of time

until your retirement might be a factor when you determine what types of investments to include in your portfolio. Time, however, is not the only indicator of your own personal risk tolerance. There are other important factors such as: your ability to tolerate stress, how much you worry about your finances, how much savings you need to have in the bank to feel comfortable, and how your financial decisions affect your family. Experts advise people to have at least six months worth of income on hand to tolerate cash flow emergencies like job loss or illness. When determining your risk tolerance for investing, the most important thing to consider is what is needed to keep your financial home safe. After that, your individual time frame can influence the decision of whether or not you can afford the investments with a little more risk.
