Last Friday night at Eagle Stadium was full of special events for students, parent and alumni. The game started with a moment of silence and a candlelight vigil against domestic violence.

It was also a crucial Region 8-AAA game against the Hilton Head Island Seahawks, and was also Homecoming night.

At halftime, the student body of BHS presented HELP of Beaufort with more than 7,000 of nonperishable food.

The Beaufort High School Eagles defeated the Seahawks from Hilton Head 28-14, keeping their play-off hope alive. For more pictures from the game, see page 14.

Meetings to inform about upcoming Boundary Street construction project Boundary Street property owners, public invited to Beaufort briefings on upcoming road project With road construction expected to start soon, Beaufort city leaders will hold open meetings later this month to share information and expectations with the affected property owners and public.

“Even though this is a relatively short stretch of roadway that we are improving, it’s a key gateway to Beaufort and is an important commercial corridor,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission.

“We want to share what we know about the project and keep our communication open with property owners and people who will be traveling the road on a regular basis during construction,” he said.

The hour-long session will cover the same content at each meeting, but for the convenience of business owners and the public the meetings will be held on different days and different times: • Monday, Oct. 27, noon in City Council Chambers • Tuesday, Oct. 28, 8 a.m. in City Council Chambers • Wednesday, Oct. 29, 5:30 p.m. in

City Council Chambers • Thursday, Oct. 30, 7 p.m. in City Council Chambers.

“We certainly hope anyone with an interest can make it to one of these meetings,” Verity said. “We spread them out across the week and at different times because we know not everyone can make an early morning meeting or an evening meeting.”

While the sessions primarily are designed to inform property owners along the 1.5-mile section to be improved, the public is welcome to attend. The City Council Chambers are located in City Hall at 1911 Boundary Street.

The $30 million Boundary Street construction project is expected to go out for bids in November and Rob McFee, director of engineering and infrastructure for Beaufort County, said the county hopes to award contracts by early December. Dirt could start moving early next year, he said.

The meetings will include an overview of the Boundary Street Redevelopment District, the goals of the construction and how the City plans to keep the community informed during construction. Verity and McFee will lead

the discussions.

Building a better Beaufort is the goal of a $30 million investment in Boundary Street to create a safer and more scenic entry to the city, provide better commercial and retail locations, and improve traffic conditions.

The project includes: • Realigning the intersection of SC 170 and Boundary Street • Retrofitting, re-investing and redeveloping neglected areas of the corridor • Creating commercial/retail nodes • Providing alternate ways for people to reach commercial/retail including bike and walking paths.

The entire project, approximately 1.5 miles including side road improvements, is expected to be substantially complete

by November 2016.

The Boundary Street Redevelopment Corridor project budget is funded through three sources: A Federal Highway Administration grant of $12.635 million, the Beaufort County one cent sales tax for road improvements of $7.819 million and the City of Beaufort’s TIF II estimated contribution of about $6.443 million.

Animal Services relocates wild horses Three wild horses living on St. Helena Island have been relocated as a result of a fourth horse being hit and killed by a vehicle last weekend.

More than a dozen of these wild horses live on Horse Island on St. Helena Island. Nearby property owners say the animals have been there for years living off the land. Over last weekend one was hit and killed at Seaside Road and Horse Island Road. Due to the safety concerns of these animals being so close to a high traffic area, Beaufort County Animal Services went to Horse Island last Tuesday to try and relocate the horses.

A local veterinarian said taking the horses to a new location would be the safest alternative for both the animals and motorists. He said the horses have developed a habit of traveling to the road and that habit would not be broken unless the horses were moved.

The two horses pictured at right were taken to Camelot Farms on St. Helena Island where they will remain until adopted.

These horses are known as Marsh Ponies. Experts say the horses are direct decedents of the Marsh Tacky but over the years have bred with Shetland Ponies creating the name Marsh Ponies.

The Beaufort County Accommodations Tax Board is now accepting applications from tourismrelated organizations wanting to receive grants from the two percent state accommodations tax fund.

State law allows for a 2% tax levy on the rental of all transient accommodations to help provide financial support to fund tourism-related projects and events. As a result, individuals staying overnight in hotels, motels, inns, and vacation rentals pay 2% above the cost of their lodging.

An application can also be found on the Accommodations Tax Board website at http://www.bcgov.net/departments/ Administrative/beaufort-countycouncil/boards-and-commissions/

Beaufort County keeps high bond ratings

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Services affirmed high ratings for Beaufort County’s general obligation bonds. Standard & Poor’s awarded Beaufort County an AA+ long-term rating while Moody’s Investors gave Beaufort County a rating of Aa1. Both the Aa1 and AA+ are next to the highest (AAA) credit rating that

can be received from the rating agencies.

The high credit rating allows the county to obtain more favorable interest rates on borrowing thereby saving the county substantial amounts of money over the course of the life of the bond.

Moody’s Investors Services rating gives the county a stable outlook. Its report stated, “the Aa1 rating reflects the county’s healthy reserve levels, a tourismbased economy that has driven rapid tax base expansion, a wealthy demographic profile and a manageable debt burden.”

“Despite a tough financial year in 2014, these credit ratings show how Beaufort County is fiscally responsible and despite challenges, we continue to make financial decisions that benefit the residents of Beaufort County,” said Beaufort County Administrator Gary Kubic.

health & wellness

By Chris Suddeth

JOY KILLER

Competition is the killer of joy. This is an odd, but true, premise.

Recently, in a personal session I was experiencing, I heard my talented healer friend and colleague echo similar sentiments when she told me, “Expectations are the killers of joy.” How many of us spend major chunks of our time wallowing in our life not turning out the way we expected it would? I know I have trudged through that sludge.

I can practically hear readers vehemently digging in and saying, “Listen, Sutty, if it hadn’t been for a little healthy competition, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” I’ll not argue that point, but I’ll ask this question, What is healthy? Is healthy result oriented?

Do the ends justify the blah, blah, blah?

With any form of energy work and spirituality overall, we want to look at ourselves, primarily because there’s only one person you can control in this world and that’s the man in the mirror. (Reference Michael Jackson’s hit song.)

Granted, we don’t live in a vacuum, but when we compete, expect, and compare ourselves to others, we are distracting from our life’s work, whatever it may be. Life

isn’t a football field or a golf course, although I frequently use sports analogies effectively in sessions. When we focus on keeping up with the Kardashians, we’re shifting the Chris Suddeth focus away from the essential work that brings our emotions, bodies, and spirituality into alignment with our highest and best.

Wait, there’s a M6 convertible! What was I saying? Listen to those four tailpipes throbbing out the heartbeat of Bavaria.

Are those 22” Pirellis? Yep, I think he’s got the Brembo brake package too. “Wham!”

I’ve just run into the parked car, while I was picturing myself in the driver’s seat of that other guy’s Beemer, racing through that tight-box 7-speed with his beautiful wife riding shotgun. That’s right, no paddle shifters for this fella. I sure would like to be on his Pottery Barn couch, with his dime wife, overlooking the Atlantic from his oceanfront house.

In reality, the guy’s looker of a wife snores at night and bores by day. Maintenance on

Awakenings

that oceanfront house and past due car payments have torn his back asunder; or was it the local loan shark that sent a few kidney punches his way as a reminder that doubling down on the Tide Rolling over Ole Miss was ill-advised, but I wouldn’t see that since I’m smack talking the absent owner of the parked car I just ran into.

And while we’re on the subject of smack talk, it often goes together with competition. Get under the other guy’s skin and it’s like the 12th man in Seattle.

Maybe it’s a little good-natured ribbing, which I have been guilty of on the golf course, or you’re razzing about the loss by your competition’s favorite team or political figure. Either way, when we’re tearing down others to get ahead, who becomes the ultimate loser, no matter

what the highlight reel looks like? What does shifting the focus away from what we’re doing, what we’re feeling, what we’re reacting to accomplish? Notice how it feels dealing out smack talk and having it dealt out to you. Most don’t go there because it’s too yucky or it never occurs to them. What energy work and spirituality, as a whole, aims to unearth are those feelings that we get a glimpse of when the dust settles and the final locker room door closes.

You’ll have to be quick to notice those feelings because a shiny Rolex is right around the corner. It’s those feelings, in all their forms, we want to become aware of to change behaviors that go against our highest and best.

As we sit back and ponder all this, just try this one thing: Let the clubs do the talking on the golf course and focus on you when you reach life’s 19th watering hole.

When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5-year-old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing® as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes. Contact him at 843-2632397 or chrissuddethccr@gmail.com.

business

Juggling the challenges of the Sandwich Generation Life expectancies are almost five years longer today than they were 30 years ago, according to the 2011 National Vital Statistics Report, a fact that increases the likelihood you will provide some form of support for aging parents — through home care, helping out with day-to-day chores, or even covering living expenses.

That role can make significant demands on your time, energy and financial resources.

The challenge is even greater if you’re also dealing with raising and educating children, grandchildren, or perhaps helping a new graduate get a start in the world. According to AARP, about 66 million Americans take care of a parent, spouse, relative or other loved one, and roughly a third are also raising a child — at the same time.

“While you may want to provide for everyone’s needs, it’s probably not possible,” says Deborah Eickhoff, vice president, High Net Worth Planning Group at Wells Fargo Advisors.

Still, there is good news. Consider the following four steps as you map out a strategy to help balance your family obligations without sacrificing your own financial security.

1. Prioritize your expenditures. Taking care of your parents and children at the cost of your own long-term financial security is counterproductive. If you’re looking at how to afford healthcare and living expenses for a parent, or education or living expenses for a child, it is important to explore

all of your options before depleting your retirement savings.

Your parents or your children may have access to more resources than you do.

“Start by creating Katie Cuppia your own retirement Phifer plan,” Eickhoff says.

“Once you have that plan in place, you can figure out what you can actually afford to do for your kids and your parents.” As a Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Advisor, I utilize the Envision® investment planning process, which can help you create this plan and show you how different scenarios of helping kids and parents affect it.

2. Assess the situation. Does the thought of asking your aging parents about the way they handle their household finances — or how they’d feel about moving to a nursing home — fill you with anxiety? You are not alone.

However, it is important to develop a clear understanding of your role in your parents’ care and the finances that will have to support it. You can’t afford to delay this conversation. As your parents get older, it’s important to sit down with them and talk about their health and financial well-being — before urgent decisions are forced on you or your family.

Start by getting a handle on your parents’ current living costs, and try to

estimate what the outlays will be down the road. Long-term care costs vary by state, so if you and your parents are considering assisted living or home health care, you will have to do some research for the state where they expect to retire. In South Carolina, the average annual expense today for a private room in an assisted living facility is $51,672, according to the average local cost of long-term care based on John Hancock’s Cost of Care Study, conducted

by LifePlans, Inc., 2013. Individual facility costs may vary.

3. Make the most of financial resources.

Spend and invest every dollar where it will do the most good. Contributions to 401(k) s, IRAs, and 529 college savings accounts offer tax benefits that can help your savings grow more quickly. An additional consideration is a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA will generally appeal to people who want tax-deferred earnings, and are OK with the idea of making after-tax contributions now in exchange for tax-free distributions in retirement.

Long-term care insurance, which can help cover nursing home and home health care expenses, may be worth considering for your parents — or for you. Eickhoff notes that premiums on such policies rise sharply for older buyers, but the coverage is more affordable for people in their 50s and 60s.

Your parent’s financial situation may even make her eligible for certain benefits.

One example is income. If your parent’s

annual income is relatively low, you may be able to claim him or her as a dependent on your tax return. This may defray the cost of care. Talk with your tax advisor before doing this to see if your situation qualifies.

4. You have support. You don’t have to do the heavy lifting alone. Reach out to other family members. They may have different ideas about how to help your parents, so discuss the level of care your parents need and define your respective roles. It’s important to discuss details such as how much time, energy and money each of you is willing to contribute to help your parents. Resources such as Eldercare. gov, Caregiver.com and Medicare.gov can provide useful information and contacts.

Regardless of your family’s size, know that you can find assistance to help you manage.

As more and more people face the challenges of being part of the “sandwich generation,” it is important to understand your own goals for your retirement, and the goals of your loved ones. Having a plan in place and following the above steps will help this new reality become more manageable.

GOOD APPLE AWARD

Ameris Bank announces annual food drive

Jonas Gadson was presented with the first “Good Apple Award” at this month’s Education Workforce Development Committee Meeting for going above and beyond to advocate for education. Thank you Jonas for all that you do. From left is Leigh Copeland, Jonas Gadson and Will Achurch.

Ameris Bank announces its 5th Annual Helping Fight Hunger food drive initiative. During the month of October, members of the community are encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items at local Ameris Bank locations and supporting businesses. At the end of October, a food bank in every town with an Ameris Bank location will receive the donation of goods collected at the local Ameris Bank location, plus a monetary donation from Ameris Bancorp.

Market President, Tom Hermann stated, “It’s hard to imagine that in our own neighborhoods, there are families who don’t know where they will get their next meal. If we all give a little, we can make a difference for those who need it most. We encourage members of our community to stop by a local Ameris Bank location during the month of October and place a donation of non-perishable items in the collection box located in the bank’s lobby.”

Ameris Bank encourages employees, customers, and members of the community to donate until October 31, by dropping off non-perishable food items in the Collection Box located inside every Ameris Bank location and at partnering businesses. For a complete list of Ameris Bank locations, visit us online at amerisbank.com.

Hunger knows no boundaries, it exists everywhere in America. According to FeedingAmerica.org, hunger in America exists for over 49 million people.

girls night out

A monthly event for local women to meet and have fun, sponsored by The Island News

Beaufort Memorial hosts ‘Hollywood’ event Who would have thought that partying could be so good for your health?

But this wasn’t just any party — it was Beaufort Memorial’s fifth annual Girls Night Out, and The Island News’ October Island Girls Night Out. A capacity crowd of almost 700 women joined us for a women’s wellness celebration with dozens of the hospital’s physicians and health care professionals available to answer questions and provide advice and tips for healthy living — all in a fun and festive environment complete with music, munchies, activities and prizes.

Guests checked in outside the hospital’s Administrative and Medical Center, a typical hospital-style

building. But once inside, the women found themselves in an unexpected environment — the entire second floor of the facility had been transformed into a “ballroom” style venue, complete with bar, stage and red carpet area for photos.

In keeping with the Hollywood theme, guests were issued a “ticket” to all of the interactive displays and demonstrations.

Some women were playing the “Ta Ta Toss,” a cornhole game with a twist — pink (of course) bean bags and true/ false questions about breast health — while others chatted with one of the physicians (a chance to get answers to those questions you never get to ask).

Several guests attended one of the informal mini-seminars (The most

popular one of the evening? “Hot and Flashy,” a discussion about menopause led by Dr. Eve Ashby of Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group.)

“We try to make it entertaining so women will be engaged in learning how to improve their wellness and live healthy lives,” said Beaufort Memorial marketing director Courtney McDermott.“You can pick up a lot of good information playing games, participating in interactive exhibits — and just having fun.”

Of course, there were fabulous door prizes, too. A lot of great gifts from local merchants as well as two special grand prizes — a series of Botox treatments

by Dr. Audrey Klenke and a Kate Spade handbag, a gift from the hospital.

Other prizes included: • Piace Pizza: Gift Certificate • Beaufort Lands End Tours: Gift Certificate • Greenfish: Mug • The Kitchen: Gift Certificate • Guys and Dolls: Gift Certificate • Low Country Store: Gift Certificates • What’s In Store: Gift Certificate • Fordham Market: Scarf • Sugarbelle: Prosthetic Bra • Moon Doggies: Gift Certificate • Craftseller: Gift Certificate • Nuances: Gift Certificate • Hot Heads Salon: Gift Certificate • Beaufort Film Society: Film Society Membership and Pendant • Her Favorite Store: Gift Certificate.

Tiffany Cuylear won a Kate Spade handbag, the grand prize of the event.

Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.

Beaufort Academy celebrates with Golden Gala What a fantastic evening for the BA family! Beaufort Academy sparkled at the Golden Gala, on Saturday, October 18, which was filled with stories and memories from alumni speakers. They were sentimental, thankful, informative — and, let’s be honest, hilarious! What a night to be an Eagle.

BA’s 50th school year is a time for reflection as well as for planning for the future. The Golden Gala was not only filled with alumni, parents of alumni, and former faculty, board members, and headmasters, but also current parents, faculty, board members, and the new headmaster. It was an evening of telling tales of the “Then”, hearing hopes and dreams from the “Now”, and planning

for the “Always.”

The evening kicked off with a warm welcome from event co-chairs Charles Aimar, Jr. (BA ‘80) and Jodie Bush Miller (BA ‘97). It was then turned over to the MC for the evening, Bob Bundy (BA ‘94), who in turn introduced the pairs of speakers, respectively: Ricky Akers (’81) and Robert Trask (’81), Ginny Meeks Fowler (’87) and Sydney Meeks Shuman (’89), and Colin Crumpton (’04) and Bill Dalton (faculty since ’94 and current parent). Headmaster Stephen Schools introduced an inspiring video featuring current BA students, and then turned it over to Garrett Wreden (’01). Garrett is the Vice President of the Board of Trustees, as well as the Co-Chair (with

Bill Hatcher) of the Capital Campaign, which he unveiled at the end of the Golden Gala. The campaign for these exciting changes and additions will be introduced publicly soon.

The evening, complete with a multicourse meal and set in a gym transformed into an elegant black tie setting, ended in perfect birthday fashion with the cutting of a 50th School Year cake by Stephen Schools and the special guest speakers.

Beaufort Academy is especially grateful to: Event Co-Chairs: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Aimar Jr. and Ms. Jodie Bush Miller.

Supporting Vendors: Amazing Events, Burris Family; Artistic Endeavors, Tei Tober and Priscilla

Fripp for a Cure features golf, Glover and goodwill This year’s FRIPP FOR A CURE was especially exciting. After a tremendously successful “Las-Vegas style” golf scramble on Tuesday, October 14, islanders welcomed back “their own” Candice Glover. Sunday evening’s performance

by Glover, 2013 American Idol Winner and a former Fripp Island Excursions employee, was the culmination of months of planning and the perfect finale to the week’s activities.

This year’s co-chairs Anne Hoyle and Diane McGarry couldn’t have been more pleased. Although contributions are still being tallied, the event has already raised over $55,000 for the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center — a cause that is near and dear to the community’s heart.

“Each year we are reminded just how special and generous the people are that live on Fripp Island,” said event co-founder Bev Fineis.

Co-founder Chris Assaf remembers when a friend on Fripp was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. She and several others took turns driving their neighbor to daily radiation treatments in Savannah.

And as they drove down Ribaut Road, her friend pointed wistfully to the Keyserling Cancer Center in Port Royal — under construction at the time — and said, “If they were open now, I could go there.”

Rich Assaf and Rick Toomey with 2014 co-chairperson Diane McGarry.

Beaufort Memorial President & CEO Rick Toomey, Foundation Executive Director Alice Moss and Foundation Senior Associate Brenda Molony are presented a check by special guest Candice Glover, representing the proceeds from this year’s Fripp for a Cure.

Glover’s Sunday evening concert at the Fripp Island Beach Club was the highlight of the annual fundraising event.

That’s when Assaf realized what a difference the Keyserling Cancer Center would make in the lives of people who live in this community. It’s hard enough to fight cancer without a three-hour daily commute for treatment.

At the same time, the Fripp Island Women’s Golf Association was holding their annual charity golf tournament.

As that event grew in scale, Assaf and Fineis proposed changing the name to FRIPP FOR A CURE and designating the Keyserling Cancer Center as the beneficiary.

And what a difference that has made.

In the last five years, FRIPP FOR A CURE has raised nearly $200,000 for the Keyserling Cancer Center. These

donations have helped continue the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s tradition of underwriting at least half of all building, equipment and enhancements to the eight-year-old facility.

“Fripp for a Cure has jump-started the accumulation of funds we will need to keep the Foundation’s half of the bargain,” said BMH Foundation Executive Director Alice Moss, noting that the need for significant equipment replacement and expansion are inevitable in the not-toodistant future.

“We are in awe of the passion and the effort put forth by our Fripp Island friends to make such a significant impact,” said Moss. “Their efforts will help Beaufort Memorial to continue to use the very latest technologies and provide the very best care for our cancer patients.”

Sheriff ’s Office recognizes school for drill performance The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Emergency Management Division wishes to recognize Principal Constance Goodwine-Lewis and her staff and students at Broad River Elementary School for their exemplary performance during last week’s earthquake drill.

Governor Nikki Haley proclaimed the week of October 12-18 to be Earthquake Awareness Week in South Carolina, and the SC Emergency Management Division encouraged everyone to take this opportunity to learn about our state’s seismic fault system and how best to prepare for earthquakes. The highlight of the week’s activities was the Great Southeast ShakeOut which took place October 16 at 10:16 a.m.

The Great Southeast ShakeOut is part of the largest earthquake safety drills ever held, with an estimated 2.1 million registered participants across the

Southeast. Individuals and communities throughout Delaware, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia participate in this annual drill that is designed to teach and practice the recommended safety procedures to take

during an earthquake. This year there were an estimated 26.1 million participants registered worldwide for the event.

The ShakeOut drill was executed throughout the Beaufort County School District. Broad River Elementary School was chosen as this year’s representative school for the event, and members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Emergency Management Division were on scene to observe the school in action.

At 10:16 a.m. the students were alerted that the drill had begun and were advised to take cover as previously instructed. The students quickly and quietly took shelter under their desks, effectively employing the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” procedure that is recommended to help shield the neck and head against falling debris during an earthquake. At the conclusion of the 60-second drill, the fire alarm was

sounded, and students filed outside to pre-determined meeting places. This allowed for the school administrators to accurately account for each and every student and staff member.

There have been 24 low-magnitude earthquakes recorded in South Carolina since February 2013, including a 4.1 in Edgefield the evening of February 14.

Our state experiences approximately 10 to 20 earthquakes a year according to geologists with the College of Charleston. The epicenter of the largest earthquake ever recorded along the eastern United States seaboard was just outside of Charleston on August 31, 1886. The 7.3 magnitude quake devastated the region.

For more information on the Great Southeast ShakeOut and earthquake safety and preparedness, visit: http:// www.shakeout.org/southeast.

Governor’s School welcomes 11 Beaufort County students Jacob Bhoi, Grace Brueggman, Neelia Heath, Ashton Lancaster, Veronica McLeod, Grace Rhodes, Michael Schwartz, Sarah Sheppard, Amanda E. Steel, Melis Tirhi and Jacqueline Tobin, all from Beaufort County, have been accepted to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics (GSSM) in Hartsville. They join students from across

South Carolina to form the Class of 2016.

This year, the school celebrates its largest student body since its inception in 1988, with 259 students representing 117 high schools and 33 counties.

Jacob Bhoi, son of Paul and Karen Bhoi, and Sarah Sheppard, daughter of John and Sallie Sheppard, transferred to GSSM from Beaufort Academy. Grace

Brueggman, daughter of Richard M. and Judy A. Brueggman, attended Bethel Park Senior High School prior to transferring to GSSM. Neelia Heath, daughter of Michael Heath and Aileen CangianoHeath, transferred from Battery Creek High School.

Transferring from Beaufort High School are Ashton Lancaster, daughter of Andy

and Paige Lancaster; Veronica McLeod, daughter of John and Pearly McLeod; Grace Rhodes, daughter of Vincent and Bet Rhodes; Michael Schwartz, son of Tim and Jennifer Schwartz; and Melis Tirhi, daughter of Tareq Tirhi and Yucel Tirhi-Henderson.

District, schools improve grades on federal report cards Twenty-eight of 30 Beaufort County schools met 2014 federal accountability standards, according to data released last week by the South Carolina Department of Education.

The 93 percent mark was a significant improvement over last year’s 79 percent of schools that met the federal accountability standard by earning a grade of A, B or C. The district as a whole earned a B, with its numerical score improving from 82.1 in 2013 to 82.9 in 2014.

Seventy-three percent of the district’s schools rated an A or B, up from last year’s 65 percent.

“It’s encouraging to see improvement occurring year after year,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “This kind of progress is proof that everyone is working hard and that we’re on the right track. But we still have a long way to go before our graduates can compete with the world’s best graduates. That’s our goal, and that’s what we’re focused on.”

Federal accountability report highlights A revised A-F rating system was unveiled in 2012 after the U.S. Department of Education approved a waiver application from South Carolina that allowed the South Carolina Department of Education to revise how state schools and districts were rated under the federal No Child

Left Behind Act (NCLB). The new system replaced the 2001 federal law’s original accountability system with one that awards letter grades from A to F for improvement and performance.

NCLB requires schools and districts to break out their performance data into a number of student “subcategories” that include ethnicity, special education, poverty and limited ability with English.

The revised rating system incorporated performance in those individual categories into a single number that is used to rate schools on a 0-100 scale, with 90-100 being an A, 80-89 being a B, 70-79 being a C, 60-69 being a D and anything 59 or below being an F. The NCLB calculation relies on PASS scores to determine grades for South Carolina elementary and middle schools.

High school data come from on-time graduation rates and student performance on the HSAP high school exit exam and end-of-course exams.

The Beaufort County School District’s overall 2014 score of 82.9 rated a B. The district’s elementary schools scored 87.5 for a B, up from last year’s 85 for a B. Middle schools scored 78.1 for a C, down from last year’s 81.2. High schools scored 83.7 for a B, up from last year’s C rating of 74.9.

Twenty-two Beaufort County’s public schools — an improvement over last year’s

19 — rated an A or B in the second official report under the new rating system.

Ten schools were rated an A. Twelve received a B, six received a C, one received a D and one received an F (last year there were four D’s and two F’s). Schools graded A-C met federal accountability standards, while schools rated D-F did not.

Moss said that the federal rating system requires schools to improve each year in order to earn the same grade. “The bar is raised each year,” he said, “so a school that doesn’t improve from one year to the next can get a lower grade.”

The district’s five highest-rated schools in the federal report were Okatie Elementary (100), Pritchardville Elementary (98.3), Red Cedar Elementary (97.9), Riverview Charter (97.3) and Bluffton Elementary (94.4).

Five Title I schools — schools with high percentages of students from low-income families — were recognized as “Reward Schools for Performance” for earning A or B grades for the past two years and having no significant achievement gaps. Those five were Broad River Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Port Royal Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary and Lady’s Island Middle schools.

Red Cedar Elementary also was named a “Reward School for Progress” by ranking in the Top 10 percent of Title I schools that made “the most substantial progress”

in improving the academic achievement of all students and students from various demographic groups.

School grades District schools receiving an A for 2014 were: Bluffton Elementary, Bluffton High, Coosa Elementary, Hilton Head Island High, Mossy Oaks Elementary, Okatie Elementary, Port Royal Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary and Riverview Charter School.

Schools receiving a B were: Battery Creek High, Beaufort Elementary, Beaufort Middle, Beaufort High, Bluffton Middle, Broad River Elementary, Hilton Head Island Early Childhood, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts, Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Lady’s Island Middle and Michael C. Riley Elementary.

Schools receiving a C were: H.E. McCracken Middle, Joseph E. Shanklin Elementary, Robert Smalls International Academy, St. Helena Elementary, Whale Branch Elementary and Whale Branch Early College High.

Hilton Head Island Middle received a D, and Whale Branch Middle received an F. Dereck Rhoads, the district’s Chief Instructional Services Officer, said the district would continue its focused intervention efforts at those two schools.

school notes

Blues Musician Scott Ainslie visited BA last week and both performed a concert for the students and gave afterschool workshops. The concert description was “Across The Color Line: The African South”, and illustrated the African retentions still influencing American popular music today. A crowd favorite was the cigar box guitar, which only had one string and was made from an old cigar box and a pool cue! What an awesome experience for students and teachers.

BATTERY CREEK HIGH • BCHS Wrestling Coach will be honored in the 2015 SCWCA Best Western North South All Star classic. This is a tremendous honor. The event will be held on March 4-7, 2015 in North Myrtle Beach.

• Sports physicals to be held at BCHS on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 to 11 a.m. in the small gym. Cost: $10. All students wishing to participate in Winter or Spring Sports should plan to get their physical at this time.

Recently, Beaufort High Teacher Cadets attended College Day at The Citadel. The Citadel is our college partner that extends college credit for successful completion of the teacher cadets class. The university partners one of their professors with our class, and that person periodically comes to teach the class. College Day was spent learning about the application process, financial aid and college life. Teacher cadets were also addressed by the SC Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year. Pictured above is Teacher Cadet sponsor, Debi Kidd, at far right, along with members of the Teacher Cadet class.

Literature Comes To Life: The fourth grade class at Beaufort Academy went to Hunting Island to learn more about zooplankton and phytoplankton. The students impressed the Park Ranger as they shared their extensive knowledge of organisms and habitats.

In addition, they completed island tasks like crabbing and searching the beach for supplies much like Karana was forced do in order to survive in the novel, “Island of the Blue Dolphins.” It was a great learning experience, literature connection and tribe triumph.

From fishing to football, the hard work of athletes of all ages deserves recognition

high school football

Whale Branch routs Academic Magnet, 63-6 The Whale Branch football team passed its latest test, rolling past Academic Magnet 63-3 for a homecoming win last Friday night.

With the win, Whale Branch evened its overall record to 4-4 and moved 3-0 in Region 6-AA. Stout Whale Branch jumped on Academic Magnet early, eventually leading 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.

The Warriors led 28-6 at halftime and 42-6 through the third quarter.

Offensively, Whale Branch rushed for 427 yards.

Leading Whale Branch on the ground, Stephon Eugene rushed 10 times for 181 yards and two touchdowns.

Damjour Davis and Ezekiel Carter also turned in stellar rushing performances for the highly-productive Warriors in the

victory. Davis rushed seven times for 104 yards and one touchdown. Carter, another capable offensive back, rushed seven times for 81 yards and three touchdowns.

Struggling to take care of the football, Academic Magnet committed six turnovers in the loss.

Defensively, Whale Branch limited Academic Magnet to 122 rushing yards.

The Academic Magnet football team

finished with 173 yards of total offense in the lopsided loss.

Elijah Green returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown for the Warriors.

Nyles Pinckney gave Whale Branch another defensive score when he returned a fumble 12 yards for a touchdown.

Whale Branch will visit Garrett Academy Tech in North Charleston on Friday, Oct. 24.

Beaufort High beats Hilton Head Island Standout running back Jeffrey Tookes rushed 26 times for 207 yards and three touchdowns as Beaufort High doubled up visiting Hilton Head High 28-14 in a Region 8-AAA matchup last Friday.

With the win, Beaufort High improved to 5-3 overall and 2-1 in Region 8-AAA. Following Tookes, Wyatt Sherpensky rushed 10 times for 92 yards and one touchdown. Sherpensky broke free for a 59-yard scoring run in the second quarter to stretch productive Beaufort High’s lead out to a 14-0 advantage.

As a team, Beaufort High rushed 38 times for 300 yards.

Beaufort High quarterback Courtney Piatt completed five of 11 passes for 60 yards. Keaton Butler led in receiving, reeling in three catches for 47 yards for the Eagles.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘love is strange’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Love is Strange” directed by Ira Sachs on Monday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.

After nearly four decades together, Ben ( John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) finally tie the knot in an idyllic wedding ceremony in lower Manhattan. But when George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and — victims of the relentless

New York City real estate market — temporarily live apart until they can find an affordable new home. While George moves in with two cops (Cheyenne Jackson and Manny Perez) who live down stairs, Ben lands in Brooklyn with his nephew (Darren Burrows), his wife (Marisa Tomei), and their temperamental teenage son (Charlie Tahan), with whom Ben shares a bunk bed.

While struggling with the pain of separation, Ben and

George are further challenged by the intergenerational tensions and capricious family dynamics of their new living arrangements.

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.

ARTworks celebrates the life of Johnny Mercer A favorite son of Savannah and the Lowcountry, Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics for over 1,500 songs from the 1930’s through the 1960’s, including his iconic hit, Moon River which was featured in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffanys.

On Friday, October 24, two well-known local performers, Terry Herron and Penney Lynn Smith, will present “Moon River: The Life and Music of Johnny Mercer.” Mr. Herron is best known as a musical producer and singer from Hilton Head and Ms. Smith performs with The Sweetgrass Angels, the Swingtime Orchestra and her own jazz combo in and around the Beaufort area.

Whether you are a Johnny Mercer fan, a jazz fan, love American popular music, or are interested in the history and famous citizens of Savannah, this musical variety

show has something for everyone. The performance includes many of Mercer’s best known songs like Summer Wind, Come Rain Or Come Shine, and of course, Moon River. In addition to the two vocalists, the show also features Rick Radcliff on piano and Randall Reese on saxophone, flute and clarinet. According to lead vocalist Herron, “Mercer was a master with lyrics and his poetic, rhythmic, story-telling words cover an amazing span of emotions that are as relevant today as when he wrote them.”

In addition to music, the evening will also include a short film of Mercer performing his songs with fellow entertainment giants like Nat King Cole and Mel Torme, as well as commentary by Mercer authority, David Oppenheim, who will speak about Mercer’s life and answer questions from

the audience. Of particular interest to many will be Mercer’s background and early life in Savannah. Johnny Mercer was

descended from a prestigious Savannah family, stretching back to colonial times.

He was a choirboy at Christ Church and a student at the Chatham Academy.

As the son of a wealthy family, he was exposed to all of the art and culture that the city offered, from African-American spirituals, to traveling musicals, cinema, and popular music of the Jazz Age. Mercer maintained a close relationship with his mother throughout his life and often cited Savannah and his time spent there as a major influence on his music and lyrics.

The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24 at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza.

Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased online at www.beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling 843-379-2787.

• USCB Festival Series kicks off: 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. 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 folk-like 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. 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. Call 843-208-8246 or email sjbreton@uscb.edu Staci Breton for tickets.

The Art of Sue McCarthy shines at BAA Sue McCarthy, Beaufort Art Association’s current featured artist, fell in love with South Carolina --Beaufort, in particular, when she read the first line of Pat Conroy’s book, “The Prince of Tides”: “My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.” With those words and all that followed, Sue dreamed of living in the South and more specifically, Pat Conroy’s Lowcountry. It would be several decades before that would be possible but when the opportunity arose, she and her husband packed their belongings and moved from the mountains of New Hampshire to the beautiful Lowcountry. It’s a decision that neither has regretted.

Sue’s journey into art began with another impulsive act. In the early 1970’s she and her husband purchased an old historic inn located in one of New Hampshire’s loveliest villages.

Surrounded by the White Mountains and plentiful lakes, it was an idyllic place to raise their sons. A chance meeting with a local artist Barbara “Willey” Fromm encouraged Sue to start a lifetime of painting.

Growing up near Chadd’s Ford, Pennsylvania, where Andrew Wyeth spent part of each year, she saw the same hills, trees and buildings that he saw and painted. Sue noticed that he used shadows but very little sunshine.

His light was piercing and showed

every flaw, irregularity and nuance.

This was a major influence as she began to paint. Sue spent the next ten years painting oils, mentored by Willey Fromm and truly became an artist. She later studied with another well-known New England artist, Ernie Brown, who introduced her to the fine art of acrylics. This created a cooler, more subdued palette with more realism.

Painting was put on the back burner for many years, as life pulled her in other directions. It wasn’t until she moved to Beaufort that she resumed her painting.

Two important events happened that enabled Sue to explore her love of putting brush to canvas again. First, she joined Beaufort Art Association which encouraged her to begin painting, exhibiting and be successful

as an artist. Her second step was when she obtained studio space at Atelier on Bay. This provided her with room to paint as well as display more of her work, while receiving inspiration from those who also had studios around her.

Once Sue began painting in the Lowcountry, she noticed that the southern light appeared very different from light in Northern New England.

The light here held a golden glow, probably caused in part by humidity, warmer temperatures and the arc of the sun. She realized that her palette needed to be warmer. In New Hampshire the light was cooler and clearer, sometimes harsh, but always piercing. Both are unique but lead the artist in different directions. In her compositions, the mountains of New Hampshire were dominant, making the sky less important. Here, it is all about the sky.

Sue’s exhibit will run from October 26 through December 6. Her darker, more contemplative works will be displayed along with her expansive sky paintings, landscapes, still lifes, and animals that have inspired her since moving to Beaufort.

A featured artist reception for Sue McCarthy will take place at Beaufort Art Association, 913 Bay Street, Beaufort, on Friday, October 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

Count Basie Orchestra to perform at USCB The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts brings the legendary Count Basie Orchestra to its stage on the university’s historic campus in Beaufort on Tuesday, October 28, at 7:30 p.m.

The Count Basie Orchestra is a 16 to 18 piece big band, one of the most prominent Jazz performing groups of the swing era, founded by William James “Count” Basie in 1935 and recording regularly since 1936. In the history of Jazz music there is only one band leader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world with members personally chosen by him, for nearly 30 years after his death.

The basic fundamentals of Basie’s orchestra were and still are foot stomping 4/4 swing, an unparalleled use of dynamic contrasts, shouting the blues at any tempo, and danceable. The Count Basie Orchestra can be viewed between 1935 and 1955 as the Old Testament and New Testament bands. The Old Testament band’s style was a combination of spontaneously developed riff-driven, or “head” arrangements, full of the blues and relaxed, but intense swing that showcased some of the greatest names in Jazz history in Lester Young,

The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra.

Hershel Evans, Harry Edison, Buck Clayton, Dicky Wells, Jo Jones, Freddie Green and Jimmy Rushing among others. The New Testament Count Basie Orchestra was formed circa 1952 after Basie’s brief hiatus from the full orchestra as he was working with a small group of six to seven pieces during the industry imposed recording ban that began in 1948. With the April in Paris recording in 1955, the orchestra began to set standards of musical achievement that have been

emulated by every jazz orchestra since that time.

The orchestra has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, won 18 Grammy Awards, performed for Kings, Queens and other world royalty, appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and concert hall in the world.

Scotty Barnhart was appointed as the director of The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra in 2013 following the leadership of Thad Jones, Frank Foster, Grover Mitchell, Bill Hughes, and Dennis Mackrel. Current members include musicians hired by Basie himself: Carmen Bradford (1983), Clarence Banks (1984), as well as Mike Williams (1987), Doug Miller (1989), and members who have joined in the last 15 years: David Keim, Alvin Walker, Will Matthews, Marshall McDonald, Doug Lawrence, Cleave Guyton.

Admission to this performance requires a ticket purchase. The cost to attend: $40 Adults; $35 members. Detailed information regarding admission and other programs at the center can be found at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com. Tickets can be ordered online or by calling the box office at 843-521-4145.

The concert will be Sunday, October 26 at 5 p.m.

at the Fripp Island Community Center, 205 Tarpon Boulevard, Fripp Island, SC, 29920. Tickets at the door: Adults $25 per person/$10 for students. All attendees receive a free Fripp gate pass and are invited to join the artists at a complimentary catered reception following the performance.

Teaching an old dog new tricks Now what?

By Lee Scott

We have all heard the old saying, “Can’t teach an old dog a new trick.” And for some reason when we hit a certain age, we start to believe that phrase and convince ourselves that it is too hard to learn a new skill. I had to rethink this misconception recently, but it took a day with my granddaughter and a day on the golf course.

My granddaughter Sloan and I were playing volleyball in her backyard. She started to get frustrated because she couldn’t serve the ball as well as I was serving it. We went through the steps together of how to hold the ball, placement of hand, keeping your eyes on the ball and knowing where you want it to go — all those skills that I had been taught as a child. I assured her, in my wise Grandmother voice, that practice was the key to success in anything

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.

she tackled.

About two weeks after this happened, I entered a small golf tournament. It was advertised as a women’s only Cayman Golf tournament and opened to both golfers and non-golfers. The idea was to pull non-golfers out of the wood work and entice them to try golf, a great marketing technique especially when you think of all the golf courses and tournaments around

our area. Although I had taken golf lessons about five years before, I had not played since.

There were 44 women playing in the tournament, some of whom were experienced golfers, some relatively new to the sport and some, like me, who really didn’t have a clue. I did know some of the basics like how to hold the club and look at the ball. And I did understood in theory

the stance and the swing techniques. It was a lot of fun and the other three women who made up my foursome were wonderful.

They made encouraging remarks, like “you’re doing great,” “it just takes practice,” “don’t worry, I have spent many rounds of golf shooting balls into sand traps”.

But I did start getting frustrated until I remembered my experience with my granddaughter. My frustration at not getting it right all the time was similar to hers. We both wanted to be doing the sport as well as the experienced teacher.

But the truth is it still takes time to learn something new regardless of your age — time to do it wrong, time to take classes, time to practice and time for a little patience. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. We just have to remember how we learned them as children.

For the record: Reading group is now in fourth decade

By Grace Mayfield

A great deal of activity in a small community like Beaufort can take place unnoticed and while noteworthy go unreported. Such is the case of a group of women who were members of the American University Women Beaufort Branch (“AAUW”).

Carole Geiger was president from 1979-

80 when she launched a special interest group amongst the membership. At the behest of Mrs. Geiger, Leola Fanning, now a retired science educator, chose literature.

The insightfulness and enthusiasm of Deo Boyland spearheaded other members of AAUW Beaufort to gather for the initial organizational meeting held on October 25, 1979. The Literary Criticism

voted “best dentist” in the island news every year

Group subsequently met a few months later on December 6 to discuss William Shakespeare’s “Henry IV” (Part 1 – King John), recounts Mrs. Fanning, who remains a guiding light of the group which is now in its fourth decade.

The format for the last 35 years has revolved around a singular theme. Authors or a subject matter are chosen. The group convenes about eight months of the year.

In 2012-13, the Civil War was the focus; 2013-14, women writers; 2014-15, mystery writers. The leader for each meeting gives an in depth summary of the author’s life and literary work. Members read any book by the designated author or related focus.

Each member relates her own critique in an informal manner during the discussion.

Owing to attrition, the original group has morphed over time. Current attendees are now an independent group of women who enjoy the Literary Criticism Group and the camaraderie it engenders. Individuals also share reading lists throughout the year.

The collective goal remains unchanged and continues to encourage reading literature on a broad range of subjects. Leola Fanning recognizes that this venture has been rewarding and continues to participate.

Readers in the group revel in Leola’s shared personal recollections of growing up in South Carolina.

Vote “Yes” to approve funds for land-preservation program

By Tom Davis

On November 4 voters will decide whether to provide $20 million to the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Program (the R&CL program), a land-preservation program that for the past 14 years has protected our county’s unique historic and environmental resources. I will vote “yes” on this referendum question, and ask that you consider doing the same.

Voters approved initial funding for the R&CL program in 2000, and authorized additional funds in 2006 and 2012.

This incremental approach allows us to evaluate performance and assess costs and benefits before taking additional steps, so let’s do the due diligence on the proposed next step.

Is government action necessary to preserve our salt-marsh ecosystem? Yes, because in a free market people buy, sell, develop and use property at prices that fail to fully account for damage done to the environment. I support free markets, but they don’t address such externalities.

Don’t zoning laws already protect our environment? Yes, but they do so imperfectly and often unjustly. Zoning is a coercive one-way-street that tells people what they can do with their property and vests bureaucrats with discretionary power routinely exploited by developers. Moreover, in cases where

Tom Davis represents Beaufort County in the South Carolina State Senate.

any development at all is problematic (e.g., at our rivers’ headwaters), zoning isn’t a feasible option; it would constitute taking without compensation.

The R&CL program is a more effective and fairer way for government to protect our ecosystem. This program, through fee simple purchases and the acquisition of easements and development rights, has protected over 22,000 acres of strategically selected land in our county from development, all through voluntary agreements with owners.

Is the program working? Yes. Not only has environmental degradation caused by high growth in the 1990s been curbed, it is actually being reversed. To cite but one of many examples, health officials recently reopened for oyster harvesting stretches of the May River previously closed because of rising bacteria levels.

Hasn’t the R&CL program already accomplished its objective? No, because despite a lull occasioned by the lingering recession, Beaufort County will in the near future, as it has in the not-

so-distant past, experience explosive growth. The demand for living here is high and the supply plentiful: the area between the Hilton Head Island and Broad River bridges alone will eventually have 50,000 new houses.

Doing nothing in the face of such growth is not an option; look at what happened to the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland and Virginia essentially sat idly by as unchecked development stripped the bay of its natural defenses to runoff pollutants, essentially destroying an entire ecosystem. Letting the same thing happen here would be both immoral and economically stupid.

Won’t authorizing $20 million for more preservation overburden property owners already taxed to the breaking point? No, because this is clearly a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If the funding is approved, property owners in Beaufort County will pay an extra $4 in taxes annually for each $100,000 in property value. Their lot would be much better than that of the taxpayers in Maryland and Virginia now footing a $20 billionplus bay-cleanup bill.

Doesn’t land preservation hurt economic development? No. There is more than ample space for new businesses, both large (in our county’s mostly vacant industrial parks) and

small (in numerous designated spaces within urban areas).

The R&CL program actually promotes our economy in several ways.

For example, it has helped ensure the viability of the Marine Corps Air Station, our county’s largest job supplier, by acquiring buffer areas. As a result, unlike other air bases (e.g., Oceana in Virginia Beach), the MCAS is not hemmed in by development, something that will stand it in good stead when the next round of BRAC closures begin.

Our ecosystem and historic places are amenities that enhance the value of all properties in Beaufort County. Unlike other areas, and thanks in large part to the R&CL program, we’ve neither trashed our environment nor paved over our past; as a result, our county and its municipalities routinely appear on lists of “best places to live.”

Finally, and surpassing all other reasons to support the pending referendum, there’s this: it’s simply the right thing to do.

Aldo Leopold once wrote of “a need for a new ethic, an ethic dealing with human’s relation to land and to the animals and plants which grow upon it.” Through our support of the R&CL program, we’ve made that new ethic a reality; we’ve declared our love for and allegiance to what makes our county special. Let’s keep that ethic alive.

letters to the editor ‘Miss Judy’ tickets available for USCB Chamber Music Festival

I am pleased to once again remind you of a special arrangement the university set up after my receiving a beautifully penned letter from an elderly Beaufortonian who simply signed the letter Miss Judy. She expressed her love of classical music and her regret that the rising cost of living made it impossible for her to hear the wonderful musicians that the USCB Chamber Music Festival brings to Beaufort.

One of the primary motivations of the university and our generous donors in supporting these concerts is to give people of all ages and circumstances the opportunity to hear the music of the masters played by exceptional artists. For several seasons we have made free tickets available to high school music students, USCB music appreciation students, and members of the Beaufort Youth Orchestra. We also have Miss Judy tickets available on a first-come basis. Please tell the attendant that you would like a Miss Judy ticket, and make a donation to the series only if you wish.

I hope the student tickets and Miss Judy’s initiative will fill our hall with people who truly love the artistry and music that this extraordinary series brings to our region. All concerts are at the USCB Center for the Arts on Carteret Street at 5 p.m. on the following Sundays: November 2, December 14, February 8, March 8 and April 26.

Support for The Salvation Army

While I have no direct involvement with the Salvation Army except as a periodic contributor, I hope the North Street Neighbors, whose letter was published in the October 16-22 issue of The Island News, will reconsider their response to the Salvation Army’s disallowing parking in their private lot for a political gathering. Having been on the staff of several nonprofits, I can assure readers that it isn’t easy to be a nonprofit in today’s world. There is a litany of hoops

to be jumped through and often onerous regulations to be adhered to in order to maintain 501(c)(3) status.

Please consider that the Salvation Army undoubtedly is concerned about unauthorized parking in its private lot because of liability issues. What if someone had fallen while getting into or out of a car? What’s to prevent that person from lodging a complaint or claim against the Salvation Army?

And what’s to stop a disgruntled resident from accusing the Salvation Army of supporting a particular candidate by allowing the use of its facility in violation of nonprofit rules and regulations. It seems a stretch, but we all know that stranger things have happened.

Lastly, would the North Street Neighbors suggest that people could park on a neighbor’s private property without first consulting the neighbor? This could all have been avoided had there been communication in advance. It’s so easy to criticize a situation without fully understanding the ramifications. However, it seems very shortsighted to chastise a valued community service provider over an incident such as this. I hope the “North Street Neighbors” will re-think the situation and reconsider their stance.

The Salvation Army needs and deserves our support.

Time to celebrate with a new Prosecco

By Celia Strong

With the holidays coming, we can celebrate early with bubbles. Besides tasting and learning about new wines, it is important to do some planning ahead so we have exactly the wines we want to drink at home and ready when we need them. That means chilled as needed, correct glasses washed and polished, foods that will help our wines taste as good as they can (and vice versa) and our minds and hearts ready to enjoy the festivities.

This week will feature a fabulous Prosecco from Italy. We have this wine for several reasons. One because it is new and we have to get acquainted with it. And, two will come in a bit.

For now, though, let’s start with a look at Italian sparkling wines. Any country, and likewise any winemaker, that makes wine can make sparkling wine. All they need is some grapes and one of several methods to get bubbles into the wine they make from their grapes. For many, many years, when we thought of Italian sparkling wine, we came up with Asti, a sparkling wine (“spumante” is Italian for “sparkling) made in the Piedmont region from Moscato grapes.

More recently, sparkling wines made from Prosecco grapes have become more well known and very popular. It’s interesting to note, that there are several levels of Prosecco wine — DOCG, the top legal level of Italian wine; DOC and IGT. Depending on where you look or who you ask, it can get confusing when you name the grape variety making these wines. Yes, it is Prosecco grape. Sort of.

But, the latest reports say these wines are made from the Glera white grape variety.

Confusing? Of course, we’re talking about European wines. But, more about that in a moment.

Besides the DOCG Asti and DOCG and DOC Prosecco, the other legally recognized Italian sparkling wines are DOC Lambrusco (a red sparkling that can be either dry or sweet), DOCG Franciacorta (made from Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay, and excellent when you find one), and DOC Trento (made from the same three grapes as Franciacorte with Pinot Meunier added).

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

Some of these sparkling wines are made using the “mèthode Champenoise.”

The Champagne method that produces the bubbles in the bottle you buy the wine in. In Italy, it is most often known as “metodo classico,” the classic method.

Obviously, you don’t want to say you’re using the Champagne method when you can’t even make Champagne.

(Champagne has to come from certain grapes grown on certain soil in France only. So, Italians call it the classic method.) There is a certain amount of time involved in this process, more than other methods. So the sparkling wines made using the classic method tend to cost a bit more. The Charmat method is used to speed up the time involved and lower the cost of many sparkling wines. This process does the second fermentation, where the wine gets its bubbles, in bulk. A lot at a time and then the bubbly wine is bottled under pressure and corked. This process was created and patented by an Italian, Frederico Martinotti, in 1895. Several years later, in 1907, a Frenchman, Jean Charmat, adapted Martinotti’s method and it’s been known as the Charmat method ever since. (Maybe another reason the Italians don’t like the French name for their classic method?) Most, really almost all, wines labeled as sparkling Prosecco are made with the Charmat, bulk second fermentation, process.

Moving on, let’s get this grape variety Glera straight. More to the point, why its wines are called Prosecco. Glera is a neutral grape, grown mostly for making sparkling wines. It is probably an ancient variety, derived from the village of Prosecco near Trieste. It is possible it has been grown since Roman times.

Tradition in the area around the village of Prosecco was to call the wine and the grape by the same name. Prosecco.

“Now we are offering Mobile Banking from your cellphone.”

When Italian DOC wines laws were written, Prosecco was the DOC for wines from the village and specific areas near it. And, IGT wines, a lower legal level were also called Prosecco. In 2009, the Prosecco wines from two specific areas, Conegliano and Valdobiadine, were upgraded to DOCG level. Because of the confusion between Prosecco the DOC and Prosecco the grape grown for DOC and non-DOC wines, the decision was made to return to calling all these grapes Glera. So, see they were made from Prosecco and now they’re made from Glera. Phew!

Now, on to our winery for this week — Cavicchioli. This family has been growing vines in the Modena province, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, for over a century. In 1928, Umberto Cavicchioli bottled the first wines with the family name on them. All the Cavicchioli bottles made today show this year on them. Umberto’s two grandsons still work at the winery; Claudio takes care commercial concerns and Sandro is the winemaker. The Cavicchioli family owns almost 235 acres, making them one of the largest vineyard owners in Modena. In their vineyards, the family focuses on owning their vines, low yields from their vines and high quality wines.

Modena is the center of Lambrusco production, and the Cavicchiolis make these red wines.

But, they also make several sparkling wines. And we are now at our Prosecco for this week. This is an Extra Dry Spumante. Made from 100 percent

Our winery for this week is Cavicchioli.

This family has been growing vines in the Modena province, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, for over a century. Their Prosecco is an Extra Dry Spumante made from 100 percent Glera grapes.

Glera grapes. These grapes are grown in the province of Treviso, in Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The grapes are hand picked, some underripe to preserve acidity for the finished wine. Maceration, the juice sitting with the skins, lasts about 12 hours at cool temperatures (45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit). The first fermentation, to make the wine, is also temperature controlled. And the Charmat second fermentation, to make the bubbles, is done at a cooler temperature over 15 to 24 days.

The finished sparkling Prosecco is a DOC wine. It is a pale, pale gold color, with a white foam that forms when it is poured. Its bubbles are lively, small and persistent — that comes from the length of time at the cooler temperature.

This wine has candied fruit flavors like crystallized lemon rind and floral notes. And a long, clean finish. A great addition to our collection of Proseccos, and for only $10.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island, it’s an excellent addition, one to be enjoyed often.

That brings me to our second reason for learning about this wine this week.

October 26 is National Champagne Day That’s this weekend! I know Cavicchioli Prosecco is not officially Champagne but we can buy more of it and drink more of it. And we can remember it in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving festivities.

STEPHEN SCHOOLS

W

Stays true to his name as new headmaster at Beaufort Academy

hen your last name is Schools, you might guess that Beaufort Academy Headmaster Stephen Schools has experienced his share of joking about education being his destiny. But it wasn’t until he was in 9th grade that he first though of becoming a teacher.

“I realized one day that my math teacher, who was always animated and often entertaining, really seemed to enjoy what he was doing,” Stephen says.

A Lowcountry native, Stephen was born and raised and spent the first 40 years of his life in Charleston. He has a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with a minor in Education from the University of North Carolina, a master’s degree in Mathematics Teaching from The Citadel in Charleston, and a Master’s of Education in Private School Leadership from Columbia University in New York.

Stephen taught math for 19 years and then stepped into a combined administration/teaching role. He was Head of Upper School at the The Boys’ Latin School of Maryland in Baltimore from 2009-2013 and most recently was the Head of Upper School at Augusta Prep in Augusta, Georgia, from 2013-2014. He also used to coach “a little bit” of basketball and was a track and field coach during his teaching years.

Happy to be back home in the Lowcountry, Stephen is responsible for the day to day operations at Beaufort Academy. He credits a wonderful faculty and staff who help make his job easier to accomplish.

Stephen and Christy Schools

“I am grateful to be a part of this terrific school community,” says Stephen. “Everyone here at Beaufort Academy and in the Beaufort area has been wonderfully nice and welcoming. I am lucky to work with the great people at Beaufort Academy and lucky to be here in Beaufort.”

Stephen says his primary goal as headmaster at Beaufort Academy is to provide students with the best possible education and he feels that in a small independent setting much can be accomplished.

“We try to show our students that we truly care about them and that we want to help them make good decisions and be good citizens as they prepare for college and for life.”

Working with students for as long as he has, Stephen

knows there is the potential for a surprise every day.

“You never know what to expect,” Stephen says. “We recently had our Golden Gala celebrating the 50th year for the school. During the program, a video was played of our students answering a few questions including, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ We had everything from a kindergartner who wants to be a paleontologist to an upper school student who jokingly replied, ‘I want to be a corporate fat cat.’ The point is that you never know what you may hear a student say on any given day, and that is what makes this work fun.

The students are great to work with and can always put a smile on your face.”

Stephen and his wife Christy are parents of Sam and Caroline who are in the first and second grades at Beaufort Academy. And if running a school and parenting wasn’t enough, Stephen recently became of member of Beaufort Rotary.

As Stephen looks to the future with Beaufort Academy, he says he would love to see the school grow in the coming years.

“Beaufort is great place to live with many hidden gems. I believe that Beaufort Academy is one of these gems. I hope that we will be able to expand our offerings and attract more students into our school community in the years ahead.”

Beaufort Academy is located at 240 Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island. For more information, contact 843-524-3393 or visit www.beaufortacademy.org.

How Fido feels about Halloween

By Tracie Korol

When my son was tiny, Halloween was a perplexing time when grown-ups decorated with squash, when Mom fussed around making something in the basement and shortly thereafter fussed around dressing him up in bunchy strange clothes. Then, one night, for no reason, Mom stuffed him into the bunchy clothes and took him to the neighboring houses wherein the inhabitants gave him candy. What a great idea! Why aren’t we doing this every day?

Later, as he grew older Halloween became a time of shared conspiracy in creating the perfect costume, competing with friends for the weirdest and coolest, testing a mother’s creativity and facility with foam rubber. Our neighborhood decorated and dressed for Trick or Treat night with costumed parents accompanying their costumed kids. The Halloween frenzy grew to the point where the neighborhood dogs were hobbling around wearing buns, skirts and wings. Our dog, Dave, who had a look of benign misery most of the time anyway, looked more despondent than usual on Halloween night and all we did was gel his topknot to look punk.

To costume a dog is to deny his essential dogness. Deep within your dog’s chromosomes is the inherent sense of wolf behavior. In a wolf

community, one animal may “stand over” another, placing his body on or close to another as a communication, a scolding. To a dog, the experience of being bound into a Yoda suit does not elicit festivity, more, the uncomfortable feeling of being “ranked”. Notice when you dress up a dog they freeze in place as if they are being dominated. Also notice that is only a matter of moments until Best Friend begins to dislodge the garment by pawing, shaking, dragging or rolling in something foul so as to necessitate removal of the bumble bee hat.

Dogs are extremely good sports. They will do just about anything to please their humans. Some maintain that Binky LOVES dressing up. But think about it. Does Binky really enjoy the sensation of a balloon glued to his nether parts, horns strapped around his head and a bell around his neck that clanks with every vibration? Probably not. Even when the costume is not as extreme — say, wedging a dachshund

into a bun, or a Maltese into fairy wings — is the perceived joy you see in the dog a result of the costume or the result of the liver treats you use to bribe him to hold still for pictures or the high-pitched “you’re-so-cute-ohyes-you-are!!” that accompanies the reveal. A dog works on the What’s In It For Me principle. Loads of snacks and attention? Sure, I’ll feel bunchy and uncomfortable — for about a minute.

Here’s another way of looking at what your costumed dog may feel. What if, one day, when you arrived at work, your boss announced, “Today is Underwear Day! Strip down to your skivvies!”.

Um. How awkward is this? But, then your boss hands you a box of Godiva chocolates, tickets for the big game

and your co-workers cheer and tell you you look great in your tighty-whities.

Well, okay then. Maybe not so bad.

I can do this for a day. Tomorrow is back to normal, right?

If you insist on dressing up your pet, make sure the costume isn’t annoying or unsafe. It must not constrict movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe or bark. Make sure his outfit doesn’t have dangly bits that he could trip over or chew off and swallow.

Make sure he can move freely without clunking into furniture or snagging on branches. Make sure his outfit doesn’t make noise, tinkle, clank or rustle. A white stripe down the back of a black dog masquerades him as a skunk, black stripes on an orange dog can masquerade him as a tiger or a little hair gel can turn your Bedlington into a camel. All low-key efforts that will afford him his safety and his dignity.

Not unlike my son at age 2, your dog does not understand that Halloween is YOUR holiday, not his. Wearing a sweater in the winter keeps him warm; wearing something that makes him look like a banana or an armadillo is humiliating.
