Parris Island Marine Corp Recruit Depot celebrated its 100th Birthday last week with a formal gala, rededication of important monuments, a Battle Color ceremony, all culminating with the centennial graduation of the 583 new Marines of Charlie and Oscar companies. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Robert Neller and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Ronald Green were also on hand for the festivities. Parris Island MCRD trains half the male enlisted recruits that join the Marine Corps and 100% of the women who join. According to the official Marines website, in 1911 the Marine Officers’ School and two recruit companies transferred to Norfolk, Va., after the Department of the Navy decided to
use Port Royal for a disciplinary installation. But needs changed and on Oct. 25, 1915, the recruit depot separated from the officers’ school and returned to Port Royal. It was established as Marine Barracks, Port Royal, S.C., with the principle mission of training enlisted Marine recruits. Three days later, the Navy transferred the land and buildings to the Marine Corps. To date, Parris Island has trained more than a million new Marines since its official designation as a training base.

Lowcountry Ladies of SC thank local supporters The Lowcountry Ladies of SC awarded eight $1,000 scholarships to local high school graduating seniors to assist with their college tuition. The recipients are from Beaufort, Colleton, Jasper and Hampton counties. Scholarship funds are generated from an annual luncheon, donations and sponsors. The Hubert/Jessie Tyler Charitable Fund and the Alexandria Patterson Fund have been generous supporters of the scholarships which are awarded each year. The Bargain Box of Hilton Head Island 2015 Grant Award sponsored four Beaufort County graduating seniors’ book award scholarships for 2015. The luncheon, held at the Holiday Inn-Beaufort, attended by over 200, featured a fashion show with fabulous outfits from our loyal sponsors,

Santa Elena Foundation announces public programs The Santa Elena Foundation is excited to announce unique opportunities for the general public to attend programs at the new Santa Elena History Center in downtown Beaufort. Through the Programs page of the Santa Elena website (www.santaelena.org/programs), the public can register for classes including a focus on archaeology, expeditions that stemmed from Santa Elena, the evolution of 16th century maps, Spanish wines and tapas tastings, or the kid-friendly “Camp Dig It,” just to name a few. There are a variety of interesting programs to choose from and the catalog is growing every day.
Advance registration is encouraged as space may be limited. All program presenters are experts in their field; from Beaufort’s very own Dr. Larry Rowland to archaeologists Dr. Chester DePratter and Dr. David Moore. Program participants are in for a treat as these knowledgeable and interesting presenters share perspectives and findings related to the early American history that is emerging. Through a partnership with the Heritage Library on Hilton Head Island, the program series will also include courses on ancestry research
and genealogy, and soon a branch of the Heritage Library will be established within the Santa Elena History Center. “The Santa Elena Program Series will launch the Santa Elena History Center as being open to the public and filled with activities and learning opportunities,” says Dr. Andy Beall, Santa Elena Foundation Executive Director. “We invite everyone to join us and register for programs as we strive to better understand Santa Elena and the ‘lost’16th century. We are grateful for the volunteers, presenters and supporters that have made this program series possible.”

community Beaufort Chamber of Commerce launches “Nominate a SC First Responder” giveaway
Celebration
Recently the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce launched its “Nominate a SC First Responder” giveaway that awards six first responders throughout the state with a Lowcountry getaway to Beaufort. The giveaway is the direct result of the many first responders who spent countless days and energy rescuing SC residents impacted by the devastating 1,000-year flood earlier this month. To enter a deserving first responder, individuals are asked to visit the Chamber’s Facebook page to share information about their entrant. The six winners of the giveaway will receive the following: • 3 Days/2 Nights Accommodations for two in historic Beaufort • Carriage ride for two

continued from page 1
• One dinner for two Winners will be selected at random from the Facebook entries received through Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 11.59 p.m. They will be announced shortly thereafter. “We are proud of the state for pulling together at such a difficult time in so many of our state’s communities, and particularly to those who put their lives at risk to keep residents safe on a daily basis,” said Robb Wells, tourism division vice president for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. “This promotion is our way of saying thank you to the first responders who bravely serve our state. We are grateful for the opportunity to welcome them to Beaufort and give them a well-deserved vacation.”

obituary Mary Elizabeth Williams Sauls
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Williams Sauls, 77, of Beaufort, entered into eternal rest Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. She was the widow of Mr. J.C. Sauls, Jr. Funeral services will be held 2pm, Saturday, October 24, 2015 at The Brice W. Herndon and Sons Funeral Home, Varnville-Hampton Chapel. Interment will follow in Sandy Run Cemetery. Mrs. Sauls was born November 21, 1937 in Hampton County and was a daughter of the late Earl Jerome Williams and Addie Jane Laura Davis Williams. She loved bowling and participated in several bowling leagues in Beaufort. Most of all, she was a loving mother and grandmother who especially enjoyed spending time with her grandson.

The Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County received a grant donation in the amount of $4,000 from Merrill Lynch Beaufort/ Bank of America Charitable Foundation, Inc. This grant will be used to support the YMCA’s youth meal program, part of the 20152016 Y Afterschool Program. The Y afterschool program targets low-income families and youth with low test scores. While primary funding is spent on educational supplies and staffing to get students to grade level or maintain program participants at grade-level, little funds are left over for the nutritional needs of these underserved youth. “We are grateful for the support of Merrill Lynch Beaufort/ Bank of America in addressing childhood hunger in our community,” said Michael Bostwick, YMCA CEO. “During the 2014-2015 school year, we served nearly 13,000 meals to low income afterschool participants.

Team sports now more accessible to all children Fall means football, school and kids everywhere getting involved in sports. Luckily, Beaufort Youth Athletics Fund can help all children join in on the fun. The Beaufort Youth Athletics Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation supports children who are interested in participating in team sports but do not have the money to do so. Organizations must request funding from the program the same way they do from other nonprofits. The guidelines and criteria for what the athletic program needs are up to the organizations discretion, but grant funding is focused on providing scholarships to pay for children’s enrollment on a sports team. So far, no organization has been denied a request for funding. Tom Ertter was not the only one getting involved around the common cause of helping kids play sports. Upward Sports’ Beaufort, a local sports association, allowed the Fund to set up concession stands at their fall flag football and cheerleading events. All of the proceeds from the concessions went 4

He explains the three or four aspects of playing team sports that significantly contribute to the positive development process for today’s youth. “They are not only physical but mental, social and for some leagues—like Upward Sports—spiritual.” Tom believes Beaufort is not the only county in need of a fund like this. He says he is fortunate to be able to contribute but knows there is still an unfulfilled need in most counties. Community members are encouraged to support the Fund in order to promote youth involvement in team sports with PALS and Upward Sports. The Beaufort Youth Athletics Fund is a prime example of seeing a need in the community and finding a solution. Every child deserves access to opportunities – especially when they’re as fun and as beneficial as team sports. To donate money to the Fund, please visit www.coastalcommunityfoundation.org.

TCL students raise money for Perfect Pitch competition Technical College of the Lowcountry entrepreneurship students successfully raised $577 during an 8-week challenge. Two teams, made of 9 students total, were challenged to take $10 each and turn it into a profit. One team, led by general business student Zarah Goodyear, organized two TCL community yard sales. The other team, led by business student Tonya Brown, designed and packaged a coffee mug giftset to encourage support of October as breast cancer awareness month. Both groups chose to donate their proceeds to TCL’s Perfect Pitch program, which allows students and alumni to compete for start-up funding for a new business idea.

We were born to be healthy: Part 5 of 7 How your gut influences your entire body
By Alvin H. Danenberg, DDS
Undigested proteins from grains, ingested toxins, and unhealthy levels of microbes can damage the onecell-layer-thick lining of the intestines, creating small holes in the lining. This is called intestinal permeability or leaky gut. Just like tears in cheesecloth, an opening or pathway is created for unwanted stuff to leak into the blood system. The results: Our immune system would react to the leaky gut by creating a cascade of inflammatory reactions within the intestines as well as within the bloodstream and throughout the rest of the body. Complicating this process, some of these toxins might look like normal proteins in other tissues of our body. After enough damage to our body through this leaky gut, our immune system could become confused and begin attacking the normal cells of various organs that looked like these invading peptides (called molecular mimicry). Those tissues and organs that had the weakest could become affected – possibly the pancreas resulting in type 1 diabetes; possibly the skin cells resulting in psoriasis; possibly the thyroid

cells resulting in hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; possibly the joint cells resulting in rheumatic arthritis; or possibly the periodontal tissues resulting in periodontitis. We are more bacteria than human. Our human body is made up of 10 trillion human cells. However, our body is host to 100 trillion microbial cells. Most of these live within our digestive system, and the far majority of them reside in the colon. We are healthy when these microbes are in a state of homeostasis. We are unhealthy when this delicate balance goes astray. There are probably 35,000 or more microbial species in our gut, most of which cannot be cultured through
normal means. Gut bacteria affect our entire body including our mouths. Studies have shown that patients with inflammatory bowel disease have unhealthy bacterial changes in their saliva. Research also has shown that species of gut bacteria have been able to become dormant, live in red blood cells without detection, and then migrate to distant organs of the body, resulting in infections of apparently unknown origin. Healthy bacteria in fermented foods have been shown to improve the bacterial components in dental plaque. All this research demonstrates how bacteria from the gut influences our entire body. By returning the gut bacteria to a healthy balance is proving promising for various diseases. Procedures currently are being investigated for the treatment of obesity, Alzheimer’s, autism, multiple sclerosis, and even ALS – all of which have been shown to have chronic inflammation as the underlying cause. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease, which may very well respond to reestablishment of healthy gut bacteria.
When you have nowhere to turn — turn around By Brittney Hiller
May I be frank for a moment? When I hear of others that are so capable of making change in their life, yet chose to live in the ‘comfort’ of their mess, I become both saddened and angry. Yes, me ‘the happiest yogini’ can actually feel anger. Look deep into your life right now, where do you sit currently? How are you showing up in your relationships, in your financials, even in your efforts to support others? Are you there? Are you authentically you? If you find spots where you say, ‘well, no, not really’ then I ask, what is preventing you from being all there? Is it fear? Is it poor education? Is it stubbornness? I am guilty of all of these, I sat in my own pile of messy ‘comfort’ and realized after a while, just how much I truly missed because I chose to stay in the mess I created. We do though; we create that which we sit in right now. Did you know that? You have created it. It is the hard truth that often we do not want to admit or speak of. We want to shout at someone else for the mess we sit in, we want to point a finger or place it on to someone else’s back, but my friends, I am here to let you in on a little well known secret. Life becomes easier and manageable when we 6

“Look deep into your life right now, where do you sit currently? How are you showing up in your relationships, in your financials, even in your efforts to support others?” begin to live truthfully, compassionately, and do that which is necessary for change. Action is the key component in all of this. When we express what we want and shout it to the rooftops in prayer or give a simple whisper, often we may not take the few moments we need to listen and hear our answer. Or, if we do hear the answer, we do not act on it. Allow me to give you a small backstory to help inspire you. For years, I sat in my woe is me, I am unworthy, but what do I know, mentality. It was miserable, yet I covered it up with sprinkles and rainbows by telling myself I was ‘having fun’. I sat in a relationship
of misery because I was ‘comfortable’ with where I was and felt that this poor treatment was something I was punished with. “Perhaps I did something wrong, perhaps this person was crazy, maybe I am dealt this card because it is all I am worth…” this and many more ill thoughts filled my head, until finally, I was pushed into a new life. Literally, I was forced to move away from this relationship and my eyes opened up when I took action (that was forced, by an ending agreement) and moved in with my sister. Today, I am here in hopes to inspire you, look at where you are in life. I trust and hope that as you read this you are

happy and well, however if you do not feel that way within yourself, take a step back and see into your life, what can you change? What minor adjustments can be made to allow for more kindness, truth, and compassion to enter your life with ease? I will give you a hint – it starts with the mind-shift. As my dear friend Martha O’Regan says, “Shift Happens” and it does, so allow it! Begin your new tomorrow with this one question, “What would it take for ……” and fill in what you would like to change in your life. Now, for the action piece, sit with this thought for two minutes and write down what comes to you. You may begin to hear the small change you may need to make, write it down. Give yourself time to think it through clearly and remember you are looking to create kindness, compassion, and truth into your life – with ease. I moved and the action wasn’t an easy experience at all, but I got there and after a month I made the decision that I was worth more than that relationship was offering me and I ended it. You are worth it; you are worthy of change if you need it. Be true to your most awesome self. I know you are worth it!

Talking about fire safety with your children Provided by State Farm
You’ve equipped your home with all the necessary precautions for a fire. But smoke detectors and fire extinguishers aren’t enough to keep your children prepared. Equip your family with safety knowledge by teaching them about fire hazards and how to react if a fire sparks in the home. Identify Your Home’s Hazards Most of the fire hazards in the home are in the kitchen. Read our tips on cooking safety to better familiarize yourself with kitchen fire hazards. The most important lesson for young children to learn in the kitchen is that the stove is hot, and they should keep away from it when it’s in use. When your children are older and ready to
begin cooking for themselves, then you can instruct them further on individual appliance safety and extinguishing cooking fires. Playing with matches is another major source of home fires. Children as young as two years old can strike matches and start fires, so be sure to keep your matches and lighters safely tucked away in locked drawers. Teach children not to pick up matches or lighters they may find, but to tell an adult immediately. You should also inform your children about the following hazards: • Aerosol cans: These can explode if placed near stoves, radiators, or other sources of heat. • Candles: Candles can start fires if placed near flammable materials, and

their hot wax can burn skin. Never let children light candles, and get in the habit of blowing out any candles before leaving a room. • Electrical cords: Fraying cords can ignite a fire, so show children how to recognize one. • Lamps: Explain that paper or cloth over a lamp can start a fire. • Iron: Warn children to stay away from an iron standing on end. • Christmas trees: Live trees dry out and are highly flammable. Stop, Drop and Roll Teaching children this important safety move can prevent serious burns if their clothes are on fire. Have them demonstrate the steps for you, and remind them to cover their face and mouth.
Your assets deserve proper titles
BUSINESS OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to this week’s Chamber Business of the Week Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity! Each week, the Chamber highlights one member business or organization as a thank you for their investment in the Chamber and our community. Special thanks to Sonic of Beaufort for sponsoring Business of the Week!

Practice with Games A good way to get children involved in fire safety is by making practice fun. A fire drill every few months will get children interested with the change in routine. Start the drill with a smoke alarm, so children can recognize the beep as an early warning to fire. Have them follow an evacuation plan and make sure they know the chosen safe spot to meet outside the house. 9-1-1 Is No Joke Children old enough to understand the telephone should be taught to call 9-1-1 at the first sign of an emergency provided they have first gotten themselves to safety. Kids may think it’s funny to prank call 9-1-1, so stress that it is against the law and carries consequences.

It may not seem to be a very important decision at the time, but careless titling of your assets can imperil your property, your finances and your estate plan. Hall Sumner Imagine a widow who adds her eldest daughter to her substantial checking account so that she can assist her in paying bills. Depending on how it’s done, the daughter could drain the account. Even if the daughter is an honorable person who wouldn’t touch her mother’s money, she might get divorced or be sued by a creditor. Suddenly, the account is a vulnerable asset because it was set up as a joint tenants with right of survivorship ( J.T.W.R.O.S.) account. The widow could have accomplished her purpose by adding the daughter as an account signatory without ownership rights, or by granting her a power of attorney that authorized her to act on her mother’s behalf. While the widow should still keep a close eye on her account if the daughter had been granted signatory rights, she could easily withdraw that privilege, because ownership of the account would have remained solely with the mother. If the daughter were to be sued, the checking account, which perhaps represents an inheritance to the daughter and other children, wouldn’t be at risk because the daughter isn’t an owner. Unwanted consequences of financial collaboration often can be avoided by simply titling assets in ways that wrap your ownership rights in maximum protection. Joint Property You can, of course, own property by yourself as “sole and separate property.” You might want to retain this ownership title if you owned the property before marriage, received it because of a relative’s will or purchased it with funds that were yours alone. If you keep it separate and later divorce, no one else has a claim. There are several ways to handle the titles of joint property. The most common for married couples is joint tenancy. All co-owners own the same percentage of interest, have equal rights
and responsibilities, and must agree on any property sale. If one tenant dies, the property automatically goes to the other(s). Ownership transfer occurs outside of probate court. The “tenants in common” arrangement gives each co-owner controlling interest in the property, often along the lines of what was provided. One might have paid 50% of the cost and therefore owns 50% of the property, while another owns 40% and yet another 10%. A potential drawback to this arrangement is that individual ownerships can be transferred to others without the consent of the existing owners, so it is at least theoretically possible that you could end up jointly owning property with someone you dislike. Each tenant can will his or her property to anyone, so that sort of property transfer will have to go through probate court. In the nine community property states, spouses have equal interests in the property. When one dies, the interest of that person goes to the designated heir, while the surviving property owner retains his or her interest. Some states have a “community property with right of survivorship” arrangement that is similar to the joint tenancy title – the surviving spouse becomes owner of the entire property. Some non-community property states allow “tenants by the entireties,” wherein spouses have equal interests and rights in the property. Each effectively owns the entire property, which can provide some legal protections against creditors (some states restrict this arrangement to primary residences only). While proper titling is essential during your lifetime, making sure your assets are titled properly can be key to the success of your estate plan.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
A General Manager’s devotion to Beaufort’s waters True to his engineering education (he completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of South Carolina), Ed was thorough and articulate as he answered questions thrown at him from The Island News. The folks who are served by Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority can rest assured they are in good hands with Ed as General Manager. Born and raised in Columbia, Ed joined BJWSA in 1989 as Chief Engineer. Prior to the move back to his home state, Ed worked all over the United States in both the petrochemical and nuclear fields. He eventually moved into sales, which kept him on the road 60 percent of the time. South Carolina was calling him home and Beaufort was the city that won him over. After serving as BJWSA Chief Engineer for 24 years, Ed was named GM in 2013. According to Ed, “I was always interested in math and science and knew I wanted to be an engineer. I chose mechanical engineering because it touched most engineering disciplines. I was involved in plant operations and management during my time with DuPont and had the opportunity to get back into that field when I took the Chief Engineer job at BJWSA.” BJWSA is a two-county special purpose district that provides water and sewer services to residents of Beaufort and Jasper counties with annual revenues of $50.6 million. “At BJWSA, we consider ourselves public health professionals and we provide a critical life sustaining element—safe drinking water,” says Ed. “My personal philosophy mirrors BJWSA’s philosophy: always get it right the first time.” Even though he’s a native South
Carolinian, Ed says he loves Beaufort so much that when he sees his mother he fusses at her for not giving birth to him in Beaufort. “I love to hear the stories the native Beaufortonians tell (don’t know which ones are true) about growing up here,” he says. Currently serving as the President of the South Carolina Water Quality Association, Ed is also a member of the Sea Island Rotary and serves as a Lector and Building Committee member at St. Peter’s Church, in addition to other clubs and organizations. His previous community service includes serving as the 2001 Water Festival Commodore (“The greatest festival ever,” he says), with which he still remains involved and lots of volunteer hours at the United Way. He and his wife, Melanie, are the parents of three grown children and the proud grandparents of granddaughter Bailey. Ed and Melanie met in 1973 when he was in the U.S. Air Force and she was attending nursing school at the Mississippi State College for Women. They’ve been married 41 years. Ed enjoys golfing, fishing and boating and says he recently celebrated the second happiest day in a boat owner’s life. “I sold the boat,” he laughs. “I’m looking for something a little smaller to put on the lift at my dock.” He and Melanie will spend Christmas in Hawaii to visit their granddaughter (and their son and daughter-in-law, too, of course). He plans to work for three more years with “170 of the best employees in the world,” and then retire. He looks forward to volunteering and enjoying the city he loves - and maybe playing a bit with his two adorable dogs. Beaufort was indeed lucky to get the perfect engineer to look after BJWSA. THANK

Beaufort County initiatives spotlighted at 2015 State of the Schools More than 130 community members, business and government representatives, elected officials, Board of Education members, educators and students were briefed today on the status of Beaufort County’s public schools at the district’s annual State of the Schools breakfast. “Just a few years ago, Beaufort County’s schools were basically in the middle of the pack or lower when compared to other South Carolina districts,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “But that’s changing, and changing very quickly. The positive momentum in our schools today is amazing to see.” District achievements highlighted at the 2015 State of the Schools Breakfast included: · Student achievement and the district’s on-time high school graduation rates continue to improve. · The district has created “schools of choice” in all buildings, meaning that parents can apply to send their children to any academic program at any school in district, regardless of where they live. Nearly 2,200 students took advantage of
the opportunity this school year. · The Connect2Learn program has put a mobile computer in the hands of every student in grades K-12. · The district has added 260 full-day prekindergarten slots over the past two years, which has allowed schools to reduce or even eliminate waiting lists of at-risk children who need focused attention before they start classes. Earlier this month, the district accepted the 2015 Champions for Children Award from the Institute of Child Success for its efforts to improve early childhood education. · The district celebrated its fourth Palmetto’s Finest Award winner in as many years, making Beaufort one of only two districts statewide to claim that distinction. · Graduating seniors in the Class of 2015 earned a record $30 million in college scholarships. · The district is dramatically expanding career and technology courses designed to prepare students for high-paying jobs and industry certifications in rapidly emerging fields. New high-tech facilities
are being built at Battery Creek High School and the under-construction May River High School. · Two new cutting-edge schools will serve the fast-growing Bluffton community. PreK-Grade 8 River Ridge Academy opened in August, and May River High School will open in August 2016. Newly announced District Teacher of the Year Cely Johnson, a fifth-grade teacher at Beaufort Elementary, said a key challenge in Beaufort County and across the nation is attracting and retaining high-quality professionals in the classroom. Bluffton High School senior Ebony Gadson, named as South Carolina’s 2015 Youth of the Year by the Boys and Girls Clubs and awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships, talked about her recent trip to Africa and her future plans. Narendra Sharma, founder and director of Neighborhood Outreach Connection, outlined his organization’s efforts to provide after-school and summer learning programs for children

in high-poverty communities across the district. “We face a number of challenges, there’s no doubt about that,” Moss said. “We serve a rapidly growing number of students – 350 this school year alone. We serve increasing numbers of students whose primary language isn’t English. And just like other school systems across the nation, we have persistent achievement gaps for our minority students and students from low-income families. But the good news is that we’re making progress. Our assessment results show that we’re moving in the right direction. And we have a great team – the strongest team I’ve worked with in my 30-plus years in education – that’s focused on doing what’s right for kids each and every day. My challenge as superintendent is to maintain that focus, each and every day.” Breakfast participants also watched Beaufort High School drama students perform sketches that promote strong anti-bullying messages, and also listened to musical performances by the high school’s strings ensembles.

11th-graders outperform state peers on first statewide ACT exams Beaufort County 11th-graders outperformed their peers across South Carolina on the first statewide administration of the ACT college entrance exam, according to data recently released by the South Carolina Department of Education. District 11th-graders exceeded state averages in all four subject areas measured by the ACT. Only 15 of South Carolina’s 87 school districts achieved that level of success. District students in grades 3-8, meanwhile, outperformed the state in math but fell just short in English language arts on South Carolina’s first administration of ACT Aspire exams. SCPASS exams taken by fourththrough eighth-graders were the only tests administered last spring that South Carolina students had taken in previous years. Beaufort County scores on 14
SCPASS social studies exams generally improved from 2014 to 2015, while science scores generally decreased. “Our district’s first ACT results, and our ACT Aspire results in mathematics, are definitely encouraging,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “But we have a lot of work ahead of us. We won’t be satisfied until our students are scoring right up there with the state’s highest performers.” The diverse mix of statewide assessments last spring occurred as the state worked to implement new academic standards for all grades. State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said the exams reflect more rigorous academic standards and expectations. She added that adopting rigorous standards and accompanying assessments would require an adjustment by students, parents and teachers as
educators and students transition to a more challenging academic environment. Moss noted that while the new exams don’t provide the long-term trend data required to measure improvement over time, he was confident that the steady and sometimes dramatic increases in Beaufort County student achievement seen in recent years would continue. “Our teachers and administrators have been working very hard, and certainly our students have, too,” Moss said. “Our scores have been trending upward for the last few years, so our challenge is to keep that positive momentum going.” Because the 2015 ACT and ACT Aspire exam administrations were the states first for 11th-graders, they can’t be compared to results from the High School Assessment Program, or HSAP. That exam was retired by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2014.
the island news | october 29-november 4, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com
Similar action by the General Assembly replaced statewide SCPASS testing in mathematics and English Language Arts with ACT Aspire exams. “It is important to note that Aspire and ACT were administered for the first time in our state,” Spearman said. “District staff, principals, teachers and parents must all work together to ensure our students are college- and career-ready, and I have great confidence that we’re headed in the right direction.” ACT and ACT Aspire results for 2015 could possibly be the only results from those tests to be released. New South Carolina math and English language arts academic standards were adopted by the State Board of Education earlier this year, and the Education Department is currently selecting new exams that may, or may not, include the ACT and ACT Aspire.

The Battery Creek football team had a three-game winning streak halted last Friday in a heartbreaker. Visiting Academic Magnet of North Charleston managed to edge Battery Creek 2120 in the Region 6-AA game. Battery Creek dropped to 3-5 overall and 2-1 in Region 6-AA with the loss. It was also Homecoming at BCHS.
Friday night was Homecoming at Battery Creek High School. Crowned the 2015 Homecoming King and Queen were Dominque Padilla and Brian Singleton. The pair were crowned at halftime by school principal Edmond Burnes.
With the win, Academic Magnet improved to 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the region. A pair of Battery Creek players were responsible for all three of the Dolphins’ touchdowns in the late-season matchup. Leading the Dolphins offensively, Alterell Chatman rushed for two touchdowns. Another Battery Creek

back, Tyrone Dilbert, added another rushing touchdown. The Battery Creek defense found itself hampered as leading tackler Sonja Jones played the game in a cast following a ligament tear that he suffered in his thumb. De’Marquis Gadson helped to lead the Dolphins defensively. Prior to suffering the loss to
Academic Magnet, Battery Creek had notched back-to-back-to-back wins over Ridgeland-Hardeeville, Garrett Academy of Technology and North Charleston. The Dolphins are scheduled to entertain longtime rival Whale Branch at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Daylight Savings Time and my obsolete clock Now what?
By Lee Scott
The sound of six bells woke me on Sunday morning. Six bells, I thought to myself, is 7:00. Didn’t my spouse just tell me it was only 6:00? I climbed out of bed and went to the kitchen. Sure enough, my battery operated kitchen clock and the ship’s clock on the mantle both said 7:00. That is when it dawned on me. The digital clock sitting on my spouse’s nightstand had already changed back to standard time. In its quest to revert back from Daylight Savings Time it failed to adhere to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which replaced the end of Daylight Savings time from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in November. (Parents wanted their children to have more sunlight
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
when Trick-or-Treating) I then started to think of those people living in the two states that don’t observe Daylight Savings time, Arizona and Hawaii. They have a similar problem with the digital clocks changing unnecessarily. As it turns out, we also have this problem with the clock in the spring when it fails to move forward on the
second Sunday in March and is waiting until April to change. Instead of throwing out the clock we have just been dealing with this problem. But today, I started to do some research and found that there are a couple of things you can do to “fix” the clock. First, make sure your clock is set on the right setting. (Who knew?) Turns out some of these clocks have a
button for what time zone you are in and whether you observe Daylight Savings Time. When I looked into our clock, I found that it did not have a special settings button. I went directly into the manufacturer’s website and discovered the real problem. The clock is just obsolete. It was built prior to the 2006 law and the old Daylight Savings dates were hot wired into the clock. Oh well. When you think of it, it really is not that big of a deal. We only have to wait a week before the time is correct. But now that I am on the subject, I am reminded of all the clocks in my home and car that do have to be reset on Sunday November 1st as we return to Eastern Standard Time. At least we will have one clock that will not have to be reset.
We find Jesus early, but forget where we put him By Cherimie Crane Weatherford
Few groups, few nationalities and even fewer personalities have been as studied, imitated and celebrated as the Southern woman. Novelist have eloquently written sapient sagas of the damsel in distress, poets find magic in describing the darlings of the South and artists perfectly capture the awe that is the colorful enigma. Jokes are made, satire abounds but no one dares argue the worth of such a subject. As ironic as iconic, as maddening as magical and as humorous as hospitable, Southern women provide endless inspiration. Membership of this protected class allows me leniency. We tend not to devour our own, unless it is for the benefit of the greater good or to avenge a stolen recipe. Of all the gifts of which we are adorned, our weaknesses match our strengths in effect and turmoil. We can find fortune in most any situation, power in seemingly hopeless circumstance, good in bad and bad in good often effortlessly in the very same day. It is what we can’t find that often spurs epic meltdowns and monumental mishaps. 1. Our keys. Without a doubt a Southern woman has changed the course of history on many occasions. It can be argued we have changed the direction of war, having impact that has been discussed and held hostage to secrecy for decades. Thanks to Eisenhower’s interstate highway system we can’t change much of

anything without our keys. It is the bane of our busy existence. Those darn things sprout legs and tip toe right out from under our nose with enthusiasm. Oh the profanity unleashed, innocent bystanders blamed and purses dumped to the credit of lost keys. 2. Our favorite coffee mug. Self-preservation dictates complete avoidance of a Southern woman’s favorite coffee mug. Whether it is chipped, stained, covered in yesterday’s lip gloss or currently home to our favorite pen, it is highly recommended it go undisturbed. Lives can be negatively impacted at the absence of this precious piece of pottery. The cup has stories even the owner isn’t prepared to share. If we can’t find it, hell hath no fury like a woman with no coffee. Assuming another cup will suffice may lead to bodily harm. 3. Our favorite seat at church. Like the Ten Commandments and patent leather shoes, we also have our place in church. Our specific place. Please don’t push us to have to pray for forgiveness over
the looks given or words whispered should you find yourself comfortable in our self-designated pew. We have very specific reasons for choosing our space; exit strategy and view are paramount. We find Jesus at an early age, but quickly forget where we put him in times of desperate tribulation. Please, don’t make us lose him too. 4. Our pillow. Anyone lucky enough to share a bed with the force of nature that is a Southern woman has most likely found themselves in the pillow fight of a lifetime. Our big hair and hot head requires a certain level of soft paired gently with a touch of firm. Retiring from a long day of blessing hearts and cursing keys only to realize someone changed our pillow can result in dangerous domestic disputes. 5. Last but certainly not least, being a Southern woman is an intricate maze of exhausting effort. Regardless of intent, we often lose one of our most recognizable possessions, our temper. It can rage like a river, burn all in its path and bring grown men to their knees in one fell swoop. Although a casserole of polite apology and sincere penance is sure to follow, no one wants to witness the storm. Just keep our keys, our coffee mug, our church seat and our pillow in high regard and you too will enjoy the sweeter side of the Southern woman. Your heart will be blessed, your dinner fit for a King and your life spared. It really isn’t that difficult to keep us happy.
Rommel to speak at next Photography Club of Beaufort meeting Wildlife and nature photographer Robert Rommel, based out of Bluffton, will present “Taking an Idea from concept to image in the field”, to the Photography Club of Beaufort on Monday night, November 9 at the club’s monthly meeting. Rommel’s presentation will give photographers of every level and any genre, the finer points on how to develop a concept, to capturing the image in the field using only available light. His talk will be illustrated principally with examples from his outstanding Lowcountry nature photography but he will also project images he has gathered from around the country. Rommel states that “Nature is so diverse, there is always much more out there than we can see on our own. I have seen some incredible things and have an urge to share the stories and the beauty as others have done for me. It wasn’t

until I discovered photography that I found the right medium”. Although photography would come later, Rommel’s love affair with nature started at an early age. He spent much of his childhood in the outdoors, exploring the woods, ponds, streams, and meadows near his home. His love for wildlife carried over into his education where he studied biology and ecology at Princeton and later in graduate school at University of Michigan.
Wildlife and nature photographer, Robert Rommel.
Rommel’s appreciation for nature has led him to a career photographing the subjects he loves. His photographs have been published in numerous magazines
and books and he has received awards in national and international competitions. Robert Rommel has taught at various levels, including community groups, children, undergraduate and graduatelevel classes and conducts wildlife workshops. “My greatest hope is that my photographs can evoke some of the same wonder and respect for the beauty and variety of our natural world that I have felt since first seeing those remarkable critters in my backyard and running amongst the trees and streams of my neighborhood. As long as we maintain it, nature is there for all of us to enjoy and cherish,” Rommel adds. Rommel’s presentation will be at 7 p.m. at ArtWorks on Boundary Street in the K-Mart Plaza on November 9.

Luckily for us, now it’s red’s turn By Celia Strong
Of course. After doing several white wines over the last couple of week, it is now a red’s turn. Not going to be a hard week’s lesson, though, because we are going to do a red wine from the same producer as one of our recent whites. And, that means, we get to review a few things, as they pertain to this wine, but it’s not like we have a whole bunch of new things we have to learn before we get to start our tasting. Truthfully the only thing we can’t miss paying attention to this week is our grape variety. Mourvèdre is it. Under this name, this variety is used in the Rhône and Provence areas of France. And the United States and Australia. Under other names, Mataró and Monastrell, it is grown in Spain. We’ll be using Monastrell because that’s the name on our wine’s label. Monastrell wines tend to have strong tannins and higher alcohol levels. It can be difficult to grow - it likes hot weather, vines facing the sun, and damp roots. It lives with fewer leaves on its vines. With irrigation, it can make intensely fruity wines. But, with all the damp soil around its vines, mold and mildew can be problems. These vines bud early and ripen early. It also has a very short window for harvesting because one extra day too much on the vines can totally change the fruitiness to pruniness. These grapes’ skins are full of phenolic compounds so the wines are deep colored and dark. The wines tend to run about 13% alcohol to avoid weak and herbaceous flavors. The wines, also, tend to oxidize easily, so long term aging is not common. In Spain, Monastrell is their fourth most planted red variety. About 155,000 acres of it. Especially in eastern Spain. Monastrell is the main grape used in several DOs - Jumilla, Yecla, Valencia, Almansa and Alicante. It is used in other DOs, including sparkling Cava wines, but only in small doses. Jumilla, located southeast of Madrid, close to the eastern coast of Spain, is part of the larger Murcia region, and has a dry warm climate with rich limestone soil. Perfect for holding the moisture these grapes need. In the last 25 years, with more understanding of this variety, Spanish producers have been able to make much

better Monastrell wines. Never overly expensive, but definitely good quality, good with food wines that are affordable for every day. Perfect for us. So what about Monsatrell flavors? The aromas are black fruits, some herbs, (like thyme) and meat. Its main fruit flavors are blueberry, plum and blackberry. But it also has black pepper, roses and violets, smoke, gravel or granite, and a kind of meat or bacon presence. Usually, the wines are aged in oak. When you first taste a Monastrell, you get a full bodied, meaty, sometimes chewy texture. It seems there is a feeling in the wine world that Monastrell (and Mourvèdre also) wines are susceptible to reduction in their bottles. This does not mean it shrinks and you get less. (Relieved?) It is a process that involves changes in the wine, due to some oxidation, that diminishes some flavors and augments others. A change in flavors - not a change in quality. And definitely still drinkable and lovable. Monastrell wines, because they are fuller bodied, pair well with rich, heavy foods. Lots of meats - beef, short ribs, pork shoulder, lamb, rabbit, sausage, veal. Game birds. Venison. All of these stewed or braised or grilled. Seasoned with thyme, lavender and rosemary. Lentils, mushrooms, strong cheeses. Bacon, tomatoes, garlic, saffron, paprika. Strong flavors with a slight peppery spiciness. Finally, now, our wine. The Lo Nuevo Vilata Monastrell Syrah. Hopefully you
When you first taste a Monastrell, you get a full bodied, meaty, sometimes chewy texture. It seems there is a feeling in the wine world that Monastrell (and Mourvèdre also) wines are susceptible to reduction in their bottles. remember some of what we learned about Lo Nuevo wines a couples of weeks ago? Lo Nuevo means “the new” and refers to this producer’s vision of new, modern style wines coming from Spain’s historic areas and grapes. The winery is made up of some very old stone buildings. Many of these were used for protection during storms by vineyard workers. “Vilata” was the name of one of these shelters and is now the name of our wine also. At Lo Nuevo they even feel this name has a lyrical sound to it. Vilata is 85% Monastrell and 15% Syrah. It has intense color. Its aromas of earth and hibiscus flowers start to be
“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”
noticeable within hours of fermentation. Then cinnamon and clove spice come out. Yum! It has layers of other aromas and flavors too. Dark black and red fruits (blackberry, raspberry, black cherry) and blueberries. The Syrah adds in a portion of earth and plum and herbal flavors. More rustic than the Monastrell, but a great balance. This wine is such a great surprise. Plenty of fruit flavors for those of us who love New World style, earthiness for Old World fans. A complexity of flavors and textures to keep us all sipping. More. And, then, there’s the price. $9.97. Lucky us. Now it’s red’s turn. Enjoy.

Are you sure that “old” dog isn’t the one for you? By Dr. Parker T. Barker
It is such a shame and a terrible occurrence, but it happens all the time. Every year, millions of pets are left behind at animal control, shelters and rescues. And we have all heard about the shelters that put dogs and cats to sleep within just a couple of days of being dumped there. In other no-kill shelters, the clock keeps ticking for animals waiting for a new family. Of this group, the kittens, puppies and outgoing cats and dogs have the best shot at finding homes. However, if a pet is a senior, a black cat or dog, Pitbull or is sick, injured, shy or less than perfect… there often isn’t much hope. According to recent research, the average dog or cat spends 12 weeks in a shelter before being adopted. Yet, many have been there for more than a year. Or two years. Or more. And the reasons they end up in a shelter is usually through no fault of their own. Some animals end up left behind when something happens to their family – economics, illness or death. For many others, they were abused or just dumped. And then, others are abandoned due to injuries or old age at a time when they need their family the most. One puppy grew too big so he was dumped. Others were just left by the side of the road to fend for themselves. Petfinder, an online adoption site, has designated the third week in September to be Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable Pet

Week. The goal is to find homes for the millions of less-than-perfect pets. Did you hear about this in Beaufort? I didn’t either and I have to say I am sad to think that we need reminding that the color of a dog or the shyness of a cat will deny them their furever home. Are we really that judgmental? When I was adopted, I had to be treated for frostbite. And I had half the fat on me than I do now – no comments please. Do you know how much frostbite hurts? Well, let me tell you. A whole lot. And then they decided to just get rid of me. I don’t think about them much because I refuse to acknowledge how much they hurt me but sometimes I do remember. And then I snuggle up with my mom. Did it cost her some extra bucks to take care of me? Sure it did. And if something else terrible happens like I break a leg chasing my pal Briana around the yard, I am sure she will step up to the plate again. I’m also pretty sure that if I went blind or only had three legs, she wouldn’t give me up. Not for anything. And I hope all
of you reading this say the same things about your pets. But we are the lucky ones. Please try and remember all those who are languishing in shelters and animal control facilities who really do have a lot to give to a family that will love them. I don’t know why black dogs and cats are routinely left in the shelters. Some have suggested that they don’t photograph well. Does their black coat mean they have less love to give or won’t be fun to play with? I don’t think so. Or why do

people just ignore the “old dogs”- because you think they can’t be taught new tricks. I’m nine years old – definitely in the “old dog” group. And I’ve never been better or more active. Don’t assume. Never assume. Please be an equal opportunity adopter. Great pets come in all sizes, colors, and ages. Walk slowly down those awful aisles in the adoption centers and take a good look. The shy guy sitting in the back of a kennel might just be the perfect pet for you. And now I’ll get off my soapbox.

But when painful fibroid tumors prevented her from keeping up with her energetic grandchildren, she turned to Beaufort Memorial for da Vinci® single-site hysterectomy.
