Duke Street improvements begin The second phase of improvements to downtown Beaufort’s Duke Street began this week as part of the city’s continuing efforts to improve and beautify the historic Northwest Quadrant.

The work includes the removal of existing road pavement, sidewalks, utilities and drainage, then constructing a new paved road with sidewalks, drainage, landscaping, tree planting, underground utilities, brickpaver parking and new streetlights.

During the work, there may be some disruptions to vehicle and pedestrian traffic along Duke Street, said project manager Lamar Taylor of Beaufort’s public works department. The Duke Street streetscape improvements will start at Harrington Street, proceeding east toward Charles Street.

Starting this week, there should be minimal disruptions to include: • Crews will begin creating a construction material and equipment storage yard between Church and Newcastle streets • Workers will use special saws to begin cutting up the existing pavement • Traffic control signage will be

installed to warn pedestrians of construction activity • Surveys will start for storm drainage improvements • Sidewalks will be torn up and removed between Harrington and Church streets.

“Step by step, we are making some major investments and improvements to key areas such as the Northwest Quadrant,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission. “Our goal is to improve the quality of life for those residents, but also to make the city as a whole more appealing for both residents and businesses.”

This is the second phase of streetscape improvements along Duke Street in the Northwest Quadrant, which in 2010 was named one of the nation’s 51 “Best Old House Neighborhoods” by This Old House magazine.

The area, once a thriving black middle-class neighborhood just blocks off the Beaufort River, fell into disrepair in the 1970s. It became one of Beaufort’s blighted and neglected areas until renovations started in earnest in

the mid-1990s. Starting in 2009, City leaders joined hands with involved area homeowners to remove huge amounts of accumulated debris as well as help them remove overgrowth and clean up the blight.

Since then, there’s been a fairly steady improvement to sections of the Northwest Quadrant, notably along Bladen Street and Duke Street. From 1995 to present, the City of Beaufort has invested more than $5 million to improve the Northwest Quadrant.

“This is Phase Two of the Duke Street improvements, and we’ll certainly do our best to keep the disruptions and delays to a minimum,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.

Earlier this week, Dadson and Bill Harvey, the city’s attorney, signed off on an executed contract between the city and JoCo Construction, LLC, a Beaufort-based company.

The project contract calls for completion of work within 150 days.

Area residents with questions or concerns should contact Lamar Taylor at LTaylor@cityofbeaufort.org or 5257054.

Student recognized for reporting fire The Beaufort County School Board and the Burton Fire District recognized Tyrik Kelly at the school board meeting on Thursday, Oct. 23 for reporting a possible house fire while on his way to school on October 7 and enabling the Burton Fire District to catch a small but growing kitchen fire before any significant damage could occur, not only saving the home but keeping the responding firefighters safe.

The Burton Fire District presented Tyrik with a plaque and the fire department wives support team also gave him a gift card.

Burton Wells Rec Center adjusts hours

Beginning this week, the Burton Wells Recreation Center will be changing the hours it is open to the public. The facility will now be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The recreation center is closed on Sundays.

On Tuesday, November 4, the Burton Wells and Buckwalter Recreation Centers will be closed to the public for recreational activities since both locations will be used as polling locations in the general election.

weapon during commission of a violent crime and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

In 2010, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office developed information that Chisolm was dealing drugs. Officers conducted controlled buys and obtained a search warrant for his Garrett Small Road home. A search of the home in May 2010 yielded significant quantities of cocaine as well as a gun.

Chisolm had two previous convictions for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and had recently been released from prison at the time of the investigation.

“Mr. Chisolm is a dangerous man who went right back to a life of crime after being released from prison,” said

assistant solicitor Mary Concannon, who prosecuted the case. “I asked the jury to shut down his illegal business and they did.”

Judge Carmen Mullen handed down the sentence. By law, Chisolm must serve at least 85 percent of it before being eligible for any sort of early release mechanism.

Rescued Marsh Pony undergoes surgery

One of the Marsh Ponies, Patrick, relocated from Horse Island by Beaufort County Animal Services had surgery.

Dr. Emily Mitchum performed cryptorchidectomy surgery on his rear legs due to a “locking stifle.” The horse was unable to flex his hind legs, which caused them to stick out and drag behind the horse in an abnormal manner.

After the operation, Patrick will be adopted by his foster mom, Bobbie Thomas, and her granddaughter Rentz Thomas.

Patrick was born on Horse Island 10 years ago on St. Patrick’s Day.

Benn is an instructor in Basic Life Support and is certified in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.

Patricia Rickenbaker is Rickenbaker a clinical social worker with 26 years’ experience. She was at Wake Health Services in North Carolina for four years and established behavioral health care programs in two of the community health center’s primary care offices.

eat well. live well. stay well: whole grains and gluten

S

arah Mastriani-Levi, an international health coach and personal chef, held her fourth class in the series Eat Well. Live Well. Stay Well on the nutritional significance and importance of whole grains this past Sunday in Herban Marketplace’s kitchen. Sarah talked about the numerous benefits of whole and ancient grains, focusing on farro, teff and freekeh. She completed the class by making and serving a freekeh grain dish with sautéed onion, cilantro, lemon, pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Sarah’s key suggestion was to, “Eat whole foods, watch the glycemic level in foods and remember that whole foods have the fiber necessary for digestion.”

There will be two more classes held this year: November 23: Eating to Avoid Nutritional Deficiencies and on December 21: Oil Pulling, Colon Cleaning. To sign up for classes, go to herbanmarketplace.com or call 379-5550.

Birthing Center offers new moms several free services As part of a major renovation of its Birthing Center, Beaufort Memorial Hospital is enhancing its maternity services and offering new moms several free services.

Gift of Motherhood, a three-part series of classes that includes Prepared Childbirth, Newborn Infant Care and Breastfeeding, is now free to any mother-to-be.

The classes are offered from 6 to 8 p.m. the first three Wednesdays of the month. The next series will begin Wednesday, Nov. 5.

Prepared Childbirth, the first in the series, covers natural childbirth methods, stages of labor and what to expect in the hospital labor room. Participants also will

learn pain management techniques and how the birth partner can offer support during labor.

Up next is Newborn Infant Care. Designed to ease the transition from hospital to home, this two-hour class will provide new mothers with important information on how to care for their baby — and themselves — in the first few hours and weeks after birth. Dad’s role will be explored as well. Participants also will have the opportunity to talk with a local pediatrician about newborn care.

The final class on Breastfeeding will help you decide and plan how you want to nourish your baby from birth.

Understanding how your body works with your growing baby will help reduce the anxiety of this important decision.

To register for the series of classes, call 843-522-5570.

Once they’re home from the hospital with their bundle of joy, new moms can get more information on nursing by calling Beaufort Memorial’s new Breastfeeding Hotline.

The embodiment of surrender

By Rebecca Compton

Living can sometimes seem such a struggle: to survive, to succeed, to evolve, to create. Look at the words we use: “fighting the good fight” or “battling illness” or “struggling against oppression”.

This can be exhausting — and too often, we don’t seem to make much progress.

Lately, I’ve begun to suspect this way of Rebecca Compton “warrior” thinking may not always be in our best interest.

Perhaps less is more.

Perhaps “being” is more effective than “doing.”

Perhaps surrender can actually move us forward. And there is the paradox.

Sometimes, in the course of our lives, Teachings from TheraVista we go through times when we find Educate • Motivate • Integrate ourselves hitting a “productivity” wall; www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328 we may lose our focus, our ability to follow ideas or projects through to some pre-defined conclusion.

What would lives when we just cannot seem to get anything done? happen if we just surrender In our modern, technology-infused, to the current struggle? productivity-focused world, we are often consumed with deadlines, objectives, There was no possibility of progress or sheer “busy—ness”. And sometimes that just doesn’t work for us. We may until I fully embodied the idea of find ourselves prevented from moving surrender.

What if we’ve been sending our energy better path because I was so invested in what my mind wanted (as opposed to in the wrong direction?

What if we could relax into the what my heart knew).

Awakenings

U p to w n & S a ss y.

Dear Beaufort Residents, When I left the City Council in 2008 I never expected I would be here today once again asking for your vote.

In 2008, the city was in pretty good shape. A new municipal complex was under construction that the city’s voters had just endorsed and voted 2:1 to finance. Community policing had largely run the drug dealers out to Grays Hill. The Waterfront and Pigeon Point Parks had both just received well-received facelifts. Streetscape had transformed Bay, Scott, Port Republic, West, and Charles Streets with just Bladen to go, and Beaufort’s historic downtown was thriving. The restaurants and hotels were doing well. Citywide business receipts were up, and the city’s fiscal affairs were on solid footing.

Then came the hard times. Revenues shrank. Trying to save money, the city shut down the community policing program and pulled its representatives from the Metro Drug Task Force.

Trying to get new development onto the tax rolls, the Redevelopment Commission gave (yes. GAVE.) the city-owned .8 acre Basil Green Park parking lot to an outside developer in hopes housing would be built there. None has been. Looking for new revenues, the Redevelopment Commission and the City Council sought to rezone and then sell a portion of the Waterfront Park for commercial development. But the public shut down the rezoning. The Redevelopment Commission proposed the sale of Southside Park in Mossy Oaks. That proposal was pursued also by City Council but was unsuccessful because of a covenant I suggested Sen. Tom Davis (in 1999 wearing his lawyering hat) put onto the deed such that when the city received the land from BJWSA it could only be used for a park. Thinking they could do a better job of marketing it, the City bought the failed Commerce Park. Nothing changed there either. Meanwhile the drug dealers came back. In the midst of the hard times, the city hiked its taxes, and yet its financial footing remains unsteady.

While all this was going on, I lived quietly all but one year only a few miles out of town (16 to be exact) while working for FEMA helping mayors around the country recover and rebuild after their cities suffered natural disasters. But with the election looming, and having watched the growing challenges facing the city, I decided to throw my hat in the ring again and try to help.

I believe our city is as strong as its leadership. Let’s start with no more hiding behind commissions or blaming the city manager or the police. The buck stops at the top. Beaufort’s government just needs some common sense, to get its urge to tax and spend under control, to get back to basics, to get its messaging straight (Quit the “We’re losing population,” “We’re tapped out, man” hangdog) and the city and the northern part of the county will thrive again.

These are the changes I wish with your support to help make, and why, humbly, I ask for your vote on November 4.

Be sure to protect your car this Halloween

By State Farm

According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, approximately 81 percent more car vandalism claims occur on October 31 than average. Help prevent slashed tires, smashed windows and deliberate car damage on Halloween — and every other day of the year — with these tips: Check your surroundings Where you park your car can affect

its likelihood of being vandalized. At home, park in the garage. If you don’t have a garage, install motion lights that will help deter vandals and alert you and neighbors to activity near your vehicle or driveway.

Away from home, park in a well-lit, populated area — preferably a gated lot or secure parking garage. For added protection, park in a spot away from objects that could help conceal vandals,

such as large vehicles, dumpsters or shrubbery.

Eliminate temptations Remove valuables and any evidence of them from your vehicle. For example, clean GPS suction rings off your windshield, remove stereo faceplates and store cell phone chargers in the center console.

Bumper stickers also can tempt vandals. If someone doesn’t agree with

your expressed views, you may become the target of vandals.

Take extra security measures Add an alarm system and/or surveillance cameras to your car to make it a less desirable target. If it’s clear your vehicle has these, vandals may keep walking. Sometimes, simply having a security system decal on a window is enough to discourage them. Also, don’t forget to lock your car at night.

school news ba has annual fall festival The annual BA Fall Festival was once again a huge success! From the old-fashioned carnival games to the bounce house, face painting, and dunk tank, everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you to the Parents’ Association for putting together this wonderful event.

Kindergarten engineers As a part of the STEM curriculum at Bridges Preparatory School, Ms. Newton’s class became engineers last week. They learned that engineers create, build, construct and plan. They also learned that engineers use a variety of tools but the students had to use those tools properly. To incorporate the reading lesson about characters and settings, the class then sought out to build an indestructible home for the Three Little Pigs. They worked in groups to plan, create, and build homes out of different materials, then they tested the houses by re-enacting the story and watching the “Big Bad Wolf.” Ms. Newton try to blow them over with a blow dryer. Three out of six houses did not fall down. The students then compared the structure of the homes and determined why some were sturdier than others.

Then they used a real power drill and applied what they had learned about safely using tools — by drilling holes into the class pumpkin.

BA Headmaster Stephen Schools takes a turn in the dunk tank — complete with shorts, button up shirt and a tie.

At Beaufort High, Brad Smith challenged fellow teacher Wendy Lacombe to a Shakespearean Rhyme-Off, proceeds from which will benefit the “Look Good, Feel Better” program at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. This program helps provide wigs, head coverings, and makeup to women who are undergoing cancer treatment. The BHS chapter of Health Occupation Students of America sponsored this event.

SADD Club members, parents, faculty and staff members formed a ring of unity to show support against bullying at Battery Creek High School. A moment of silence was held in memory of all bullying victims. The SADD Club also gave all BCHS teachers a handout and postcards with bullying statistics and donated Anti-Bullying/Anti-Drug stickers to some elementary students at Broad River Elementary, Shanklin Elementary, Mossy Oaks Elementary, and Beaufort Elementary schools. In addition, the SADD Club provided Anit-Bullying posters for a number of BCHS teachers to post in their rooms.

high school football

Whale Branch shuts out Garrett Academy, 21-0 Visiting Whale Branch Early College High School pulled away to win convincingly in a makeup high school football game, shutting out Garrett Academy 21-0 on Monday, October 27.

A scheduling mixup between the two schools forced the Whale Branch-Garrett Academy football game to be played on Monday instead of this past Friday when

it was originally scheduled to be played.

With the win, Whale Branch improved to 5-4 overall and 4-0 in Region 6-AA. The victory gives Whale Branch at least a share of the regional title.

Whale Branch back Stephon Eugene rushed for all three of the game’s touchdowns. The productive

Beaufort High falls to Hanahan The Beaufort High School Eagles couldn’t come up with the right combination against the unbeaten Hawks of Hanahan High School last Friday night at Eagle Stadium. Beaufort High fell to Hanahan on Senior Night in a Region 8-AAA game 24-14.

Beaufort dropped to 5-4 overall and 2-2 in the region.

Hanahan held the Eagles to 70 rushing yards. The Hawks edged homestanding Beaufort High 7-6 in the opening quarter and led 17-14 at halftime.

Wyatt Sherpensky scored Beaufort High’s first touchdown on a 1-yard run with less than one minute remaining in the initial period. The PAT kick that would have tied the game failed, though.

The Eagles scored their second touchdown on an 18yard pass from Courtney Piatt to Omar Cummings with just under one minute remaining in the second quarter. Piatt capped his touchdown pass with a successful two-point conversion run. Piatt also completed seven of 15 passes for 82 yards and the one score for the Eagles.

Keaton Butler hauled in five receptions for 62 yards for the Eagles.

Leading Beaufort High’s rushing attack, Jeffrey Tookes took 16 carries for 48 yards.

Beaufort High is set to meet Orangeburg-Wilkinson on Friday, Oct. 31 at 7:30 p.m. in Orangeburg.

Eugene scored on runs of 12, 1 and 11 yards.

Defensively for Whale Branch, Nyles Pinckney forced a fumble and recovered two fumbles while Treyvon Bryan recovered a fumble and Keani Porter delivered an interception in the fourth quarter.

Whale Branch will host Battery Creek in a regularseason finale on Friday, Oct. 31 at 7:30 p.m. in Beaufort.

Regatta results The Dataw Cup Sailing Regatta last Saturday was held in light winds that forced the course to be shortened from the planned 22 mile length to 14 miles. Seventeen boats started, but due to the lack of wind only 11 finished the race. The fleet was divided into two classes based on boat ratings, and the actual race times of each boat are corrected to adjust for the differences in the various boats. Trophies were awarded in both classes with the boat with the overall best time being named the winner on the Dataw Cup. The results of the race are: Class A: First Place: Dead On Arrival, Peter Gamble; Second Place: Yeardley II, Paul Keyserling; Third Place: Loki, Ricky Akers. Class B: First Place: True Love, Roy Crocker; Second Place: Stray Cat, Everette Ballenger; Third Place: Yankee Girl, Marc Viguera.

The Dataw Cup was won by Roy Crocker in “True Love”, a Marshall 22 catboat, who had the fastest corrected time of the fleet.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘listen up philip’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Listen Up Philip” on Monday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.

“Listen Up Philip,” an independent film directed by Alex Ross Perry, stars Jason Schwartzman, Elisabeth Moss and Jonathan Pryce. It was the Official Selection for the 2014 New York Film Festival and premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.

A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, “Listen Up Philip” is a literary look at the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Anger rages in Philip ( Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed

out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his indifference to promoting his own work.

When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman ( Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject — himself.

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.

Bizet’s world-famous dramatic opera ‘Carmen’

By Alan Schuster

Simply put, Carmen is an epic achievement in the 400-plus years of opera. Milton Cross, the distinguished voice of the Met Opera’s Saturday broadcasts for more than 40 years, considered Carmen to be “one of the universal favorites of the operatic stage, filled with vivid musical characterizations, brilliant orchestration and continuously flowing melody.”

Act I: In a town square in Seville, soldiers wait for girls who will be taking a break from a cigarette factory. Micaela, a young country girl, arrives, searching for a soldier, Don Jose, but doesn’t find him and leaves. Don Jose appears as the cigarette girls are returning to work.

Carmen, a stunning gypsy, sees him and tosses him a flower while she’s singing a song. Micaela returns, bringing tidings to Don Jose from his mother, to whom he has promised to marry Micaela.

A quarrel breaks out in the factory; Carmen wounds a friend and is arrested.

Don Jose is assigned to guard her, and she tries to seduce him. Her scheme to win her freedom succeeds, and he frees her before they reach the prison. His offense, however, earns him a one month sentence.

The Music: Carmen’s first dazzling number is her sultry Habanera: “Love is a bird that no one can tame,” sung to a tango. As she sways slowly to its growing rhythm, the orchestra and chorus add a powerful punch to the finish. Bizet gifts her with another equally impressive

song, popularly known as the Seguidille.

Sung seductively in Don Jose’s presence, she lures him into abetting her arrest escape.

Act II: At a mountainside inn, Carmen is dancing with her friends when the matador, Escamillo, arrives and flirts with her, but Carmen ignores him in the expectation of Don Jose returning to her. He does, and they spend a brief passionate moment together before he must return to his barracks. Carmen asks him to run away with her to the mountains. Helplessly in love, he follows her.

The Music: Four set pieces make up this act, each one stunning. At the inn with her gypsy friends, Carmen invokes a soft, sexy mood which gradually grows at a rapid pace, again with a rousing orchestral climax. Next up, Escamillo enters and wastes little time with a

self-centered toast to himself, much to the delight of his admirers who cheer him on with a series of familiar “toree-ah-dor’s’. Without a doubt, it’s opera’s most recognizable couplet, heard far beyond stage performances worldwide.

A unique quintet finds two smugglers looking for three zingarellas (gypsy women) — including Carmen — to join them on a job. “It’s always good” they say, “to have ladies with you when it comes to cheating and thieving.” It’s fast, colorful, and with sharp exchanges among them. A real gem. And finally, a remarkably effective scene in which Carmen tells Don Jose: “Now I dance in your honor”, accompanying herself with castanets while creating a sensuous mood, bringing about a totally obsessed look from him.

Act III: Hiding with smugglers, Don Jose regrets breaking his promise to Micaela. Carmen, already tired of him, turns her thoughts to Escamillo. After she foresees her death in tarot cards, Escamillo arrives and when he begins to fight with Don Jose, Carmen separates them. Micaela comes to the hideout pleading with Don Jose to return to his dying mother. He agrees, but not before threatening Carmen that she has not seen the last of him. Carmen, on her way to the bullfight with Escamillo, is warned of Don Jose’s presence nearby.

He begs her to return to him but she rejects him. Blinded by jealousy and pain, he stabs Carmen to death.

The Music: The “Card Trio” launches

the island news | october 30 - november 5, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

a brilliant passage of the score. Carmen, squatting on the ground with two friends, learns her fate with tarot cards.

“Diamonds, spades ... death!”, she says.

Then, in a low voice: “First I, then he,” as she turns and sees Don Jose nearby. It’s a dark and dramatic bit of theatre.

In the plaza outside the bull ring, the final scene begins with the popular march of the bullfighters. After they have entered the ring, cheering can be heard as Escamillo performs. Don Jose approaches Carmen near the entrance.

Once more, he pleads for her love, but to no avail. As the cheers grow louder, he draws his knife and kills her. The arena doors open. Out pours the crowd to find the body of Carmen near the steps. Throwing himself over her body, Don Jose cries: “Carmen, je t’adore.”

[Running time, excluding intermissions, is two hours and 40 minutes.]

The principal cast: Mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili returns to the Met, singing her signature role of the ill-fated gypsy temptress. Aleksandrs Antonenko plays Don Jose, and Ildar Abdrazakov is the matador, Escamillo. Pablo HerasCasado conducts. Rating: PG The next performance will be Rossini’s “Barber of Seville,” Saturday, Nov. 22.

Exhibit features collaborative works of two artists at USCB Sometimes, out of the blue, good luck just comes your way. That’s exactly how Kathy Crowther describes meeting Tom Brady a year ago. It was a chance meeting between the painter and a photographer who loves birds and nature as much as she did. Tom Brady and his wife Maureen had bought one of Kathy’s paintings and Tom asked Kathy if she would like to see his photographs.

“I immediately thought his photographs were brilliant. I loved everything about his pictures: the sharp contrast in colors, his attention to detail, and the interesting poses of the birds. Almost every photo stirred my

imagination and when he offered to let me use his photographs as studies for paintings it was a dream come,” says Crowther.

She asked what she could do to repay his kindness and Tom indicated they should have a show together. The collaborative work of each artist will exhibit as “Wings” at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts lobby gallery located at USCB’s historic campus, 805 Carteret Street, Beaufort. An opening reception has been scheduled for Monday, November 3 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Tom Brady took up photography four

years ago after he retired. He joined a photo interest group in Mooresville, NC, where, with his point and shoot camera, he attended monthly photo critiques and learned more about cameras and photography in general.

After moving to the Lowcountry, he was overwhelmed by the variety of birds on the ponds and marshes. In last few years he has discovered and captured on film the beauty and wonder of the native bird population through their seasonal habitations and interactions in nature.

Painting has always been Kathy Crowther’s passion. She loves to take a blank piece of paper and make it come

alive. Birds are her specialty. She moved to Beaufort eight years ago and found a wellspring of inspiration through her surroundings. She has a very distinct style which she developed over the years, painting in gouache and outlining her paintings in ink. She exhibits her work in Beaufort, throughout the south, at Pinckney Simons Gallery and during Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival.

Detailed information regarding this reception and the programs of the center for the 2014-2015 season can be found at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling the center box office at 843-5214145.

Other businesses that came out to support were the Sanctuary Hospice, Love House Ministry, Healing Waters Ministry and Home Source Rentals. The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Department told local tenants about the importance of crime prevention and organizer Shang Torey Hopkins emphasized speaking up against crime. “The goal is to inspire local communities to open up and take back the streets and cooperate with local law enforcement in apprehending criminals,” said Hopkins.

ELECT PHIL CROMER ON NOVEMBER 4

One of my campaign priorities is addressing the infrastructure needs of Beaufort. Joe Arruda and other residents of Southside Boulevard have been asking for repair of the city sidewalk in front of their homes on the north side of the boulevard for some time.

Many areas of the sidewalk are in serious disrepair creating a safety hazard for pedestrians. This is unacceptable. Basic infrastructure is necessary to maintain our quality of life and like the Southside Boulevard sidewalk should be given priority by city council. If elected, I promise to wisely use your tax dollars to address these needs.

For thirty plus years I worked in and with municipal government as a town manager, administrator, and risk manager. I know budgets, the importance of community relations, and the efficient and effective delivery of public services.

If elected, I will:

lunch bunch

Awesome seafood and an amazing view are all together at

ALBERGOTTI GRILL

By Pamela Brownstein

Although Albergotti Grill is located inside a hotel, it should not be reserved just for out-of-towners. The fresh seafood entrees combined with a gorgeous view of Albergotti Creek make this an attractive spot even for locals.

Food and Beverage Manager and Chef Hank Yaden treated The Lunch Bunch to a sampling of his favorite creations.

Our meal began with large bowls of Lowcountry She Crab Soup, which was absolutely divine, with real lumps of crab.

Irene really enjoyed the Scallops Florentine with large, pan-seared scallops served with asparagus and an addicting sauce.

The Shrimp and Grits impressed Nikki — a big deal for a true Southern girl — with their unique flavor.

Elizabeth said she loved the perfectly cooked filet mignon topped with roasted shallots, which added a whole other dimension of flavor.

We agreed that the giant piece of North Carolina swordfish topped with caper butter was excellent — so fresh and flaky.

I couldn’t get enough of the seasonal roasted vegetables that were served as a side with several dishes. I also thought the Chicken Albergotti was awesome — a giant bowl of fettuccine with a sun-dried

tomato sauce and topped with strips of grilled chicken, how can you go wrong?

Although we were all so full by the end of our delicious meal, once we saw the amazing Carolina Peach Crisp dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, it was impossible to resist. We all split it and it was so warm and peachy.

Chef Yaden said they will be rolling out a new menu within the month, keeping some favorites but introducing some exciting new dishes. Plans are also

in the works to renovate and update the restaurant, starting at the beginning of next year. Even though big changes are coming, I recommend a visit today, it is worth it for a great dining experience.

wine

Torrontés from Argentina is terrific ‘Turkey Wine’

By Celia Strong

I just love the phrase “Turkey Wine.” Many times it is misunderstood. Not by me, of course, but by those who might hear me call a wine a “Turkey Wine.” “ Turkey Wine” does not refer to a wine from Turkey, the country. It refers to any wine that might go well with turkey. The stuffed bird we over-feed ourselves with for Thanksgiving and other holidays.

And, in addition to just the stuffed bird, it refers to a wine that will go with all the other piles of food and flavors we have on our plates with the bird. Over the years, we’ve tried all kinds of wines. Reds. Whites.

Bubbles. Some of us have our favorites and use them every year. Some of us change it up, depending on who we’re eating with, what we feel like one year as opposed to previous years, budgets (or lack of such), and new wines that we’ve learned about and managed to remember and that seem just right for this particular meal. Today, we get one of these new wines. And, get this, we don’t have to remember it for too awfully long.

Turkey Day is closer than we need it to be.

Our journey this week is to Argentina. I don’t remember for sure, but we may not have done this week’s region of Argentina ever before. Or this week’s grape variety. If we have, it’s been a long time. Long, long time. And we definitely have to fix that! So, our region is Salta. Way up in the northwestern part of the country. Salta is the name of a province, in the Lerma Valley, and the name of the capital city of the province. It is situated at almost thirty-eight hundred feet above sea level.

Right on the edge of the Andes Mountains. (This high elevation has a lot to do with their wines, which we’ll get to soon enough.) Of all Argentine cities, the colonial Spanish architecture of Salta is the best preserved. A good thing for them because it attracts many tourists, and their money, to the area. Salta was founded in 1582, by a Spanish conquistador, Hernando de Lerma, as an outpost between Lima and Buenos Aires. For years, it was controlled by the military, and, after the war of independence, it was in disarray and bankrupt. It wasn’t until the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries that things started to get better in Salta.

Italian, Spanish and Arab immigrants came into the area and trade and agriculture were revived. Today, this mix of immigrants and native Indians give Salta a unique cultural flavor.

Moving on to our grape variety for this week Torrontés. This is a white variety that produces fresh and aromatic wines with moderate acidity, a smooth texture and a juicy mouth-feel. It has distinct aromas of peach and apricots. Technically there are three variations of Torrontés grown in Argentina. Torrontés Riojano is the most common.

It is the most aromatic of the three, with aromas that remind you of Muscat and Gewurztraminer.

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

(Do we all remember how Gewurztraminer is also a good “ Turkey Wine?”) This is the most grown variation of Torrontés grown in Argentina. Torrontés Sanjuanino and Torrontés Mendocino are the other two versions of this grape. There are almost thirty-five thousand acres of Torrontés planted in the country.

Plantings at high altitudes, over fifty-five hundred feet above sea level, in locations like the Calchaquîes Valley in Salta, have met with great success. That’s vineyards that are a mile up there. Definitely some of the very highest vineyards in the world.

Torrontés vines are very productive and account for about twenty percent of all Argentine white wines. And, the acreage of planted Torrontés is continually increasing. That means more and more of these wines are available all the time. In 2004, just under thirty thousand cases were imported into the United States. In 2010, however, that number was up to more than two hundred thirty thousand cases.

By contrast, also in 2010, over three million cases of Argentine Malbec were imported into the United States. So, Torrontés is growing, but has a long way to go. Research into the origins of Torrontés show it is a cross between a Mission variety, Criolla Chica, and Muscat of Alexandria. This connection to Mission grapes means that Argentine Torrontés grapes are not related to Spanish Torrontés, despite their names being the same. Why? Because Mission grapes are indigenous to the Americas. And have not traveled anywhere else.

There is even a red grape that uses the Torrontés name.

Torrontés wines, our white wines, can range in style from light and fresh to heady and unctuous with heavy perfuminess. They can be spicy, slippery in texture, full of white flower aromas.

Our Torrontés comes from the Michel Torino Winery, located in Cafayate (kah-fah-cha-ta).

Cafayate is a town located in the Calchaquíes Valley in Salta. Prime Torrontés country. The town itself is a big tourist center, partly for its wines and partly for its history and beautiful mountains. The Cafayates were an Indian tribe that lived in the valley before the Spanish Conquistadores. There are many versions of what the name Cafayate means — “box of water,” “great lake,” “great chief,” “ wealthy people,” or “grave of sorrows.” All we need to really know is

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

their wines. They are considered to be the best from Salta province and from the Calchaquíes Valley.

And there Michel Torino owns more than fifteen hundred acres.

Two brothers founded the winery in 1892.

Salvador and David. It is now the most important winery in the region. They practice “Zero Farming,” which means their commitment to the environment is as important as their wines. All their grapes are sustainably grown and hand harvested. Their organic cultivation is actually helped by the extremely high elevation of their vineyards. Hot days and cool nights, the up and down fluctuating temperatures, making more complex flavors in the their grapes.

And not a lot of bugs live that high up, or a lot of birds who would eat the bugs, and grapes. The wines are made at cool temperatures, most of the aging is done in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, and they are meant to be drunk young. Our wine is the Michel Torino Cuma Torrontés. Cuma is their most organic tier of wines. It is a bright greenish yellow color. And smells like rose petals. Beautiful!

(You know, in aromatherapy and such, rose is a very relaxing scent.) With bits of jasmine and orange zest. This Torrontés is fresh, with a crisp acidity and lots of peach and apricot and tropical fruit flavors. It is one hundred percent Torrontés.

And it is a perfect “ Turkey Wine!” For only $14.97 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Unfortunately, this is a very limited wine. Yes, bad news. In fact, we’re not supposed to have it. At all. What happened is this.

It was sent into South Carolina by mistake. Another wine was supposed to come. Seems mistakes can happen all over. But, there is a finite amount of the Cuma Torrontés to be had. Some of us will be lucky and have some for our holiday meals. Yay! Enjoy.

New technology is providing some very convenient banking services. Now we are offering Mobile Banking from your cellphone. You can view account balances, transfer funds or make payments using your cell phone. That’s banking on the go.

We strive to provide you with the best of both worlds: Cutting edge technology with a first name friendly hometown personal touch. That’s hometown banking in the 21st Century.

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

Marketing tricks that will cost you, and your dog BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

I recently took part in the National Canine Health Symposium that featured the best and brightest in the world of integrative veterinary medicine — vets, nutritionists and behaviorists. The keynote address was by pet food blogger and editor-at-large of Dogs Naturally magazine, Rodney Habib. The topic?

How marketing hype is killing our pets.

Having owned a marketing and design firm in the Midwest for the first 22 years of my professional life, I know first-hand that what you see, hear and read, when it comes to what you want to purchase, is not necessarily the truth. Rodney was telling a story I understand all too well.

A trip down the pet food aisle these days will boggle the mind with all the wonderful claims made by manufacturers for their particular products. But what’s the truth behind all this marvelous hype?

You might be very surprised.

Niche claims. Today, if you have tiny dog, a canine athlete, a fat dog, or a pet with a tender tummy or itchy feet, you can find a food “designed” just for your pet’s personal needs. Niche marketing arrived in a big way in the pet food industry when the wonders of a “science” diet began to appear in all brands. Humans like to feel special, and a product with specific appeal is bound to sell better than a general product called “dog food.” But the reality is that there are only two nutritional standards against which all pet foods are measured — adult and growth/gestation/ lactation. Everything else is marketing.

“Natural” or “Organic” claims. The definition of “natural” adopted by AAFCO

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath.

Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

(Association Of American Feed Control Officials) is very broad, and allows for artificially processed ingredients that most of us would consider very unnatural. The term “organic,” on the other hand, has a very strict legal definition. However, some companies are adept at evading the intent of these rules. If 10% of the very last product on the ingredient list happens to be organic, then legally it’s okay to print that on the bag even when everything else is chemical-laden, GMO fright food. Also, the name of the company or product may be intentionally misleading. For instance, some companies use terms like “Nature” or “Natural” or linguistic derivatives like “Naturo” in the brand name, whether or not their products fit the definition of what is truly natural.

Ingredient quality claims. A lot of pet foods claim they contain “human grade” ingredients. This is a completely meaningless term — which is why the pet food companies get away with using it. The same applies to “USDA inspected” or similar phrases. The implication is that the food is made using ingredients that are passed by the USDA for human consumption, but there are many ways around this. For instance, a facility might

be USDA-inspected during the day, but the pet food is made at night after the inspector goes home. The use of such terms should be viewed as a “Hype Alert.”

“Meat is the first ingredient” claim. A claim that a named meat (chicken, lamb, etc.) is the #1 ingredient is generally seen for dry food. Ingredients are listed on the label by weight, and raw chicken weighs a lot since it contains a lot of water. If you look further down the list, you’re likely to see ingredients such as chicken or poultry by-product meal, meat-and-bone meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, or other high-protein meal. Meals have had the fat and water removed, and basically consist of a dry, lightweight protein powder. It doesn’t take much raw chicken to weigh more than a great big pile of this powder, so in reality the food is based on the

protein meal, with very little “chicken.”

This has become a very popular marketing gimmick. Since just about everybody is now using it, any meaning it may have had is so watered-down that you may just as well ignore it.

Special ingredient claims. Many highend pet foods today rely on the marketing appeal of people-food ingredients such as fruits, herbs, and vegetables. However, the amounts of these items actually present in the food are miniscule because real fruits, herbs and vegetables are expensive. The items that make it into the bag are usually scraps and rejects from processors of human foods — certainly not the whole, fresh ingredients they want you to imagine. Such ingredients don’t provide a significant health benefit and are really a marketing gimmick.

You’d be much better served chucking a hunk of broccoli than purchasing kibble that has colorful pictures of vegetables on the bag.

Every dog knows the orange triangles in his kibble aren’t carrots, but owners are not that smart.

Pet food marketing and advertising has become extremely sophisticated recently. It’s important to know what is hype and what is real, so you can make informed decisions about what to feed your pets.
