Firefighter honored by Beaufort Exchange Club Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District Firefighter Scott Harris was honored as the Beaufort Exchange Club 2013 Firefighter of the Year this past Friday.

Over the summer, Harris rescued a man from the water when he was off duty on his boat in the Beaufort River.

His wife witnessed a man fall from the Woods Memorial Bridge.

Without concern for his own safety, and with the assistance of his wife and two daughters, Harris entered the water where he last saw the man go under. To hear him tell

the story, it was a little bit of luck combined with his training as a firefighter that helped him grasp the man underwater and bring him to the surface.

In the end, another boat arrived from the SCDNR and everyone returned to the boat landing alive and well but for some scrapes and bruises. The man survived and Scott returned to his routine.

But his actions did not go unnoticed by the community as he was nominated and ultimately Firefighter Scott Harris, left, receives the 2013 Beaufort awarded this prestigious honor Exchange Club Firefighter of the Year Award from the Exchange Clubs’ President elect Scott Merrifield. for his valiant efforts.

Sheriff ’s Office oversees emergency management Effective as of October 7, responsibility for the operations and management of the Beaufort County Emergency Management, Communications/E911, and Traffic Management Center was officially transferred under the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

Prior to 1989, the management of these essential county services fell under the Office of the Sheriff. However, the advent of the E911 system and growth of the county led to the eventual separation of Emergency Management and Communications into a separate entity, under the control of Beaufort County.

Discussions began earlier this year between Sheriff PJ Tanner and County Administrator Gary Kubic to once again consolidate these services as well as the Traffic Management Center with the

Sheriff ’s Office. These services have always remained closely aligned with the Sheriff ’s Office, through hurricane preparedness measures and the assignment of deputies to fulfill traffic safety grant requirements.

Sixteen other sheriff ’s offices in the state currently operate with a similar structure that includes emergency operations into a single chain of command. In accordance with SC state law, the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer responsible for the safe evacuation of the county, naturally leading to a consolidated approach to resource management.

As the strengths and weaknesses of the separation of entities were examined, it became readily apparent to both County and Sheriff ’s Office administrators that the best use of resources was in returning

to a combined management structure.

The consolidation of services will allow for maximum efficiency as the Sheriff ’s Office works to extend the standards of CALEA accreditation to Emergency Management. This will also allow for a more seamless integration of the new state-of-the art computeraided dispatch system throughout the county’s emergency services, which in turn will facilitate a regional approach to information sharing.

The new Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Emergency Management Division will be overseen by Division Commander Lieutenant Colonel Neil Baxley.

This division will include Emergency Management, Communications, Dispatch, E911, HAZMAT response, and NCIC (National Criminal Information Center) access.

Enroll now for identity protection service South Carolina taxpayers impacted by last year’s security breach at the SC Department of Revenue are able to enroll for up to one year of identity and credit protection coverage with CSID. Enrollment will remain open until October 1, 2014.

“Eligible individuals are encouraged to enroll with this state-provided

service to take advantage of the comprehensive array of identity and credit protections provided. CSID has a dedicated team working to ensure an overall successful enrollment process for the taxpayers of South Carolina,” said Department of Revenue Director Bill Blume.

South Carolina taxpayers, their

dependents, and businesses who filed an electronic South Carolina tax return between 1998 and 2012 may be eligible for this coverage and are encouraged to enroll with CSID at www.scidprotection. com or by contacting CSID’s South Carolina Identity Protection Hotline at 855-880-2743, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

news briefS Miami man guilty of New Beaufort County County codes employee 2009 Seabrook slaying Airports director hired serves national council A 36-year-old Miami man was sentenced to 33 years in prison last Thursday for the 2009 slaying of a Seabrook man.

At the conclusion of a four-day trial, jurors convicted Antonio Collins of murder, first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime.

On June 22, 2009, two men approached the back of a home on Seabrook Road. A neighbor saw the men and asked what they were doing. One of the men drew a pistol and held it to his head. They walked him around to the front door and asked him to get the home’s occupant outside. Moments later, they kicked in the door and a gun battle ensued.

The home’s occupant, 27-yearold Ronald Coleman, Jr. was hit four times and died at the scene. During the exchange, one of the suspects was wounded. Investigators discovered bloody footprints leading from the scene to a point on Seabrook Road where they believe the suspects got into a car. They found the murder weapon nearby.

The case went cold until 2010 when information about the two suspects was cultivated during a federal drug investigation in Hampton County.

DNA was collected from Collins, who was incarcerated on unrelated charges in Miami. It matched the blood found leaving the scene and DNA found on the murder weapon. He later was extradited to South Carolina to face the charges.

Jonathan P. Rembold has accepted the job as Beaufort County Airports Director.

“Jon brings a lot of business and managerial experience to the table. I feel the right person for the job is one that can come in, manage projects, build rapport with the community and ultimately run both airports effectively and efficiently”, said County Administrator Gary Kubic.

Rembold has significant experience when it comes to project management, team leadership and customer service.

He started his career as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy where he graduated from and went on to the U.S. Marine Corps University. Rembold spent six years as a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps. He then became a reservist but was recalled to active duty in 2003.

After serving our country, Rembold went on to work for Azteca Construction where he led field operations during construction of a $3M fire suppressions supply system for all flight and flight maintenance operations at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. From there, Rembold went to work for Ward Edwards Engineering, where he has been employed the last 10 years. During his tenure at Ward Edwards Engineering, Rembold has managed more than 200 development projects ranging from residential subdivisions to large commercial.

Beaufort County is pleased to announce Hakim Bayyoud, the Chief Plans Examiner/Flood Plain Manager for the Beaufort County Building Codes Department, has been appointed by the International Accreditation Service (IAS) as a member of the Technical Advisory Council Building Department Accreditation.

This council is comprised of members selected from senior management positions around the country and acts in an advisory capacity on matters regarding accreditation protocol, conformity assessment, testing, calibration, inspection and other subjects relating to IAS accreditation activities. Internationally recognized, accreditation by IAS makes it easier to market products and services both inside and outside the United States.

“Hakim has my complete support.

He is a talented code professional and will serve the IAS well”, said Beaufort County Building Codes Director Chuck Atkinson.

Rumor has it

By Takiya La’Shaune Smith

This past week, I sat down with yet another beautiful young lady to discuss the current state and mind-set of our female youth. This article marks the third and closing in my series dealing with teenage discussion, input and obstacles as faced today by our girls.

Though only a small percentage have voiced their concerns and spoken up, it seems rather fitting to say that the community,widespread, has listened and heard. Letters, phone calls, social media and emails have made it evidently clear that we care.

“For My Girls,” a youth mentorship program focusing on etiquette, selfesteem and awareness, has successfully launched and has been quickly embraced by the community, school districts and surrounding areas, reaching even as far as Hampton County. I, alone, take no credit for reaching out but have chosen to take responsibility and initiate accountability and commend all those who have read, participated and committed to dedicate even a second of their time to ensuring positive input towards the future of all our youth.

During my discussion with a 15-yearold young lady who is very dear and close to me, we talked about what she felt to be one of the biggest issues among her peers: rumors. Having experiencing

Takiya Smith, Beautique Lash & Brow. Master Lash & Brow Stylist, CPCP www.blb-boutiques. com

this myself, as a teen and well into my adulthood, I could relate to how serious such a small word could create such an epidemic in one’s life.

Here’s what she has to say about rumors and how they affect teens today: “First off, not having someone that they can trust to talk to, open up and confide in is one of the biggest things going on. Most times, if they do have someone to discuss a personal issue with, there is really no real sense of trust.

Some girls my age want to have friends but don’t know how to be a friend.

Knowing when and who to talk to is all about trust. Learning to watch a person’s actions and routine is what can help them make better judgements on who to talk to. For instance, if a person is always talking about someone or telling other people’s secrets, that’s not someone you can trust. A good friend is someone whom you have never heard discuss another friend’s secrets.”

“A lot of times, rumors are started by the ‘so-called’ friend in which they

confided in. Initially, I don’t always see the rumors being started as a means to hurt that person but more for the benefit of the individual who started them. They want to look cool or be a part of the in crowd or be popular so they don’t even think about the trust factor. But for the other person, rumors are very damaging and hurtful. I see a lot of people shut up and shut down because of rumors. It changes a person and can ruin their life.

It’s gossip and gossip is bullying.”

“Rumors are started if you’re not liked, if you are liked, if you’re prettier than the person who doesn’t like you, if you dress good, if you dress bad, what you are wearing and what you’re not wearing. It doesn’t matter, and people will even come to ask you if the rumor is true but will still spread the word whether true or not. Word of mouth, not social media like Facebook, spreads rumors quicker than anything.”

“At my school the staff and teachers are very involved and do not tolerate any sort of bullying, gossip or rumors. At least three times a day and most times in one period, our principal will come over the PA system and start calling names to report to the office. You can hear the frustration in his voice and you know that some people have gotten into trouble for one thing or another. The teachers will stop a class to address the

situation immediately.”

“For me, I don’t do anything special. I am who I am and I act how I want. I don’t try to attract attention to myself or fit in but I see so many people do that and it could be positive or negative attention.

I talk to everyone and I’m careful to choose my words. I know what I can say to whom and when I’m talking to certain people I’m aware of the different characteristics and personalities. I chose what to say and how to be.”

What’s her advice about how to deal with rumors and overcome the negative situations they create?

“Don’t let people see that it gets to you. Don’t react because that’s what they want and they only do it for their personal joy. The more it affects you, the more they twist it and add to it. It’s a game to them so just don’t play along.

People are going to be people but they aren’t the ones who love and care for you.

Love yourself and those who love you.”

Dr. Audrey Klenke joins medical staff at BMH Dr. Audrey Klenke has opened Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and has joined the medical staff of Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

The opening of Dr. Klenke’s new office in Sheridan Park in Bluffton fills a void created by the departure of two local plastic surgeons from the area. She also becomes the only female plastic surgeon in Beaufort County.

A graduate of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Dr.

Klenke served as the chief administrative resident at the University’s Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery. Her projects and presentations there included recent advances in facial and body contouring, and the use of less invasive surgical procedures.

“The trend has been toward noninvasive treatments like lasers, peels and injectables,” Klenke said. “People want the benefits of surgery without the downtime.”

In addition, Pinnacle Plastic Surgery will focus on reconstructive surgery for breast and skin cancer, extensive weight loss and facial trauma. Dr. Klenke, who also has privileges at Hilton Head Hospital, will be on call for emergency surgery at both Hilton Head and Beaufort Memorial hospitals.

Dr. Klenke’s undergraduate work at Vassar College immersed her in the study of biopsychology, stemming from her

interest in what makes people feel good.

She sees a new attitude toward plastic surgery and its role in wellness.

“People are taking better care of themselves and that includes their appearance,” she said. “More and more folks recognize the two-way street between appearance and health.”

Pinnacle Plastic Surgery is located at 7 Mallet Way, at Sheridan Park in Bluffton, 843-815-6699.

Seminars to address women’s and men’s health issues Beaufort Memorial Hospital is doing its part to close the gender gap, offering separate seminars for men and women designed to improve their health.

The women’s program will focus on breast care; the men’s forum on common medical problems as well as below-thebelt issues. Both are free and open to the public — and partners and spouses are encouraged to attend either seminar.

Breast health seminar in Sun City “The Producers” — geared for women — will be presented from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 6 in the theater at Sun City’s Magnolia Hall. A “cast” of health care professionals, including physicians, nurse navigators, nutritionists and exercise experts, will take the stage to discuss the CarolinaAir Money Ad4.7X8

important role women play in their own breast health.

In keeping with the theater theme, the program will be presented in acts that will cover everything from risk factors to screenings to management options for high-risk patients.

“You can’t just get a mammogram once a year and think you’re done with your responsibility for your breast health,” said Beaufort Memorial Breast Care Coordinator Amy Luce. “There are lots of other things you can do to keep yourself healthy or at least catch breast cancer early when it’s most treatable.”

Recommended lifestyle changes include limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight, eating nutritious foods, 2:18 PM

staying physically active and giving up cigarettes if you smoke.

The event is free and open to the public.

Registration is available online at bmhsc. org or by calling 522-5585.

Men’s health seminar in Beaufort “The Man Plan: Taking control of your health” will follow Friday, Nov. 8. The seminar takes place at 8 a.m. at the Quality Inn in Beaufort’s Towne Center and will include a light continental breakfast.

Internist Dr. Robert Vyge, of Beaufort Memorial Lady’s Island Internal Medicine, will discuss the latest advancements in screenings and offer advice on preventing and treating common medical issues. He’ll also talk about lifestyle changes men can make to improve their health.

BMH Urologist Dr. Michael Staley will cover problems specific to men, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), low testosterone and erectile dysfunction.

“Urological issues are most common in older men, but they can occur at any age,” Staley said. “The symptoms, which may include frequent urination, a weak stream or leaking, can make your life miserable.

But there’s no reason to suffer when simple, well-tolerated treatment options are available today.”

Staley also will discuss the latest technology in the treatment of prostate cancer, including robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery.

Registration is required to attend either program. To sign up, call 522-5585.

Bees and bad news: Part I

By Danette Vernon

My grandmother’s house had a wraparound porch with a swing. The view was such that you could easily take in what little company the old dirt road at the bottom of the hill provided. Serene, unless a couple of the giant bumble bees that nested in the railing flew out, then it was pandemonium as we all scattered.

I recently found a small cousin to the giants of my childhood twitching in my kitchen window sill. I watched history as it died, its one life joining with the many that were lost this year.

The plight of the honeybee is of current interest, but in reality we have no idea how widespread the die off is in the larger world of bees. There are 20,000 different varieties of bees worldwide; and 4,000 varieties just in the United States.

In the U.S., the decline of the honeybee began some 50 years ago, with a more serious trend starting about seven years ago. In 1945, for example, there were on average 4.5 million hives. Today the number stands at 2.4 million. This consistency is due to the nature of bees, in that you can subdivide an active hive and add a newly purchased queen, when you have a die off. In the last two years, beekeepers have withstood the financial loss of 30% of their hives per year, but the possibility of a third year looms as deadly to the industry, and the bees themselves.

Dennis vanEngelsdorp, acting state apiarist (beekeeper) for Pennsylvania ARE YOUR FEET BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY BURNING PAIN? Department of Agricultural, made the comparison that if “one in every three Are your feet being held hostage by burning pain? cows” died in the United States there would be a total societal uproar. Here we are, however, with a creature that “directly or indirectly helps produce one in every three bites we eat,” notes Dennis, yet the din of the “uproar” over this phenomenon is dim and distant.

In fact, last spring it was announced that the EPA had approved an increase of 1525 times previous allowable levels of the Glyphosate residue (pesticide residue) in some vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes, according to “The Washington Post Communities,” July 5, 2013).

Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon of this year, despite recent research, that is elucidated by Marla Spivak, University of Minnesota professor of entomology, that implicates pesticides, in particular neonicontinoids (such as Glyphosate), as an element in the die off of the honeybees.

Neoniconinoids are neurotoxins.

It was after World War II that we began replacing the farming tradition of sowing cover crops such as clover and alfalfa, which are planted to enrich the fields by fixing nitrogen in the soil, with synthetic nitrogen. (Cover crops are planted in between the sowing of the “cash crop” such as corn or soy beans).

In addition, we began to kill off weeds with herbicides. There was a surplus of post-war chemicals and we found a way to use them. In making these two agricultural changes, bees lost two critical food sources — vast acreages of quick blooming clover and alfalfa and flowering “weeds.” Later, with the rise of large scale single crop farms (monocultures) bees again suffered. There is a surplus when monocultures are in flower, but when great swaths of corn or soybeans or canola grow past their need for pollination, they became immense flowerless landscapes.

Finally, bees are under attack by an oversized parasite called varroa destructor, a parasite that compromises their immune system and circulates viruses. Imagine a tick as large as your average lunch plate attaching itself to your body and you’ll get the idea of why this parasite is called varroa “destructor.”

It would appear that we have arrived at a point wherein destruction by our own hand (and a bit of bad luck) seems entirely possible when it comes to our food supply. What can we do, besides wringing our collective hands at the latest die off? The simple answer is to plant flowers, but it will take grander gestures than that to save us. It will take the public becoming genuinely alarmed, and we’re not. Not yet.

beaufort memorial hospital to host book fair to benefit born to read Looking for some great holiday gift ideas? Look no further than the “Books are Fun” Book Fair at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, a benefit for the nonprofit Born to Read program.

The event will be held in the hospital’s cafeteria on Monday, November 11, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Tuesday, November 12, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will feature more than 250 titles from leading publishers at savings of up to 30 to 70 percent of retail prices, as well as stationery, scrap booking supplies, music collections, gift items, and learning products. Children’s books and cookbooks, as well as New York Times best sellers will be available at the sale.

“This event is a tremendous benefit to our organization and to the mothers and babies at Beaufort Memorial Hospital,” says Chris Taggart, executive director of Born To Read Inc. Books Are Fun hopes to raise more than $10,000 through the sale, 15 percent of which is donated back to Born To Read Inc. in the form of cash and books.

Born To Read Inc. is a unique local 501(c) 3 non-profit charitable organization promoting early literacy. Trained volunteers visit new parents in the birthing centers at Beaufort Memorial Hospital and Hilton Head Hospital with a gift bag containing two books for the baby, a bib, a shirt and other literacy items.

Volunteers advise the parents of the importance of daily reading and talking with their babies starting at birth. For more information, visit www.borntoread. org.

voices women of greatness

Let go of what is and embrace what’s possible

By Kymarie McEwan

A funny thing happened to me when I became a photographer. Everything about life became a photographic metaphor. When I look through my lens, I don’t see people as they are, but who they were meant to be — uniquely gifted and confident.

When my friend Martha CooperHudson asked me to visit South Carolina to cover her event, I didn’t think twice. It was a sacrifice, but I understood her vision, and wanted to do my part by capturing the special moments. In my line of work, it is very rare for women to come together in a casual setting, allowing themselves to be transparent. Imagine, being in a room filled to capacity with women from all walks of life, with varying beliefs and life experiences, women who are mothers, daughters, sisters, entrepreneurs and friends. Most of these women have never met, and in all likelihood most of them would never have exchange words if it were not for this event. I saw firsthand, mingling with the guest the birthing of a sisterhood, right here in Beaufort County. But what I saw when I started editing the pictures was life changing.

As women, some of us have a tendency to compare ourselves with others. Some of us are unable to become who we were meant to be because somewhere along the line we stopped trusting in ourselves and began conforming to the opinion of others.

Many of us are wearing nicely decorated masks that hide the greatness within us.

Many of us have missed the essence of our life’s purpose by being competitive, unwilling to celebrate the success of others.

But even worse, many of us are allowing our insecurities to prevent us from learning who we are, so we can become the individuals we are meant to be.

Looking at the pictures from the Tasty Tuesday networking event, I saw women connected by a cause bigger than themselves. Many of the ladies took pictures to support cancer research. Purchased products from the local vendors there. They even shared things about themselves that they never

intended to. They were listening to each other, hugging, laughing, dancing with strangers and just having a great time.

Through the lens of my camera, this lesson became apparent. When you know who you are, and what you have to offer, the ego has no place to work. Real women stand united. Only the insecure create strife.

I am a stranger to Beaufort, and maybe things are perfect here. Maybe everyone gets along with everyone and there is no unhealthy competitiveness here.

Maybe what I learned by looking at the pictures from the Women of Greatness Tasty Tuesday event was a lesson only I needed to learn. But imagine with me for a minute that things are not perfect here, and people are willing to let go of what is, in order to see what is possible.

Through my lens, I saw individuals uniquely gifted with untapped potential that the world is waiting to experience. I saw the women of Beaufort supporting each other and being committed to each other’s success. I saw women who are confident, even though they themselves haven’t yet recognized it. Through my lens, I saw women treating each other the way they want to be treated, irrespective of class or social background. Women who were not afraid to show their vulnerability. Women who are willing to see the good in others because they see the good in themselves.

classy & sassy women night out with a purpose What an amazing evening that took place at the first Classy & Sassy Women Night Out Event at the Holiday Inn & Suites on October 15. More than 100 women in and around Beaufort County came out for an evening of empowerment, great shopping, awesome appetizers, networking, hot music, and a VIP area.

I would like to take the time to thank all of the sponsors for their willingness and gracious donations to help bring my vision into reality: Halo Salon, the Gullah Grub Restaurant, Smokin Planks BBQ Restaurant, David’s Crab Shack, Herban Organic Store, Sports Nutz, Ocean Tide Massage Therapy, Tasty Baskets, Mary Kay, Lynn Bryant & The Family Slide Dancers, Heaven’s Print Shop, Claire’s Beauty Salon, Body Wize Solutions, Plaza Theater, and a very special thank you to Phillip and the Holiday Inn & Suites for all of their help to make this event fabulous. To Samantha Ford, Kymarie McEwan, and Joseph and Tawanna Harrel, I thank you for capturing every moment through the lens of your camera and video equipment.

To the vendors: You were simply amazing and the ladies truly enjoyed what you had to offer.

Batteries and a good flashlight and plenty of tiny socks

By Cherimie Weatherford

In life, many events come with ample warning, cautionary pre-cursors, even alerts of the siren kind while others occur seemingly with no predecessor signaling the need for preparation. Hurricanes, elections, family visits and most floods come with some form of notice. Since childhood I have been an odd type of planner, not necessarily the most productive; however, I hear the sirens, see the warning and take notice of particular actions that will lessen shock, pain and any foreseeable discomfort. It isn’t likely that others will gather amass in my abode should zombies attack or doomsday appear, however, I will have batteries and a good flashlight. I am a basics girl.

Attempting to avoid harping too terribly much on my impending labor, I can’t help but notice some similarities among events needing warning and preparation. According to the good doctors, the standard timetable of gestation and the present size of

my once tiny feet, I am under severe baby watch.

Pacing the halls, watching Mother Nature send her foreboding flares and sorting through the inevitable scenarios offers little consolation to facing an event of such magnitude.

Cowardly, overly cautious or even Cherimie armed with common sense were Crane Weatherford never used to describe me or most of my actions; yet, I am one to avoid bodily harm to the best of my ability. If it is hot, I try not to touch it. If it is sharp, I do my darnedest to keep it away from my eyes. If it bites, sometimes I shoot it. It is this simple philosophy of self-preservation that has led me to retain all limbs and most viable senses.

Thanks to Google and females with freely flowing advice, escaping the reality of delivery or even approaching such an event with optimism is not

only unlikely but downright impossible. Ironically, those who have chosen to give birth multiple times are owners of the most horrific tales. Maybe I am a few rockers off the porch, but I find that odd. Either way, this is heading my direction at impressive speed. The hatches are battened, sustenance stored and copious amounts of tiny socks await the arrival of this certain life change.

Our baby girl is coming. With a 50/50 chance of inheriting her mother’s traits, she will come barreling in with gale force. Emotions are high, expectations abound and anxiety settles in as hormones breech the dam of reason. Let the sirens sound, the winds blow and the forces of nature combine — as much as any new Mom can be, I am ready. I have batteries, my good flashlight and plenty of tiny socks. Wish us luck y’all, Mary Eleanor’s arrival is imminent.

Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Cherimie and her family on the arrival of their new baby girl!

Life insurance that can refund your money You carry life insurance to protect the ones you love from financial hardship if you should die. But what if that policy could refund money to you and your family while you’re alive?

That’s the premise behind Return of Premium life insurance. Here’s what to know about this coverage.

What is Return of Premium life insurance?

Return of Premium life insurance is a term policy with a level premium period of either 20 or 30 years. At the end of the term, if the death benefit has not been paid and you’ve made regular premium payments, you’ll be refunded the money you’ve paid over the level premium period less any loan and accrued loan interest on the policy.

The return of premiums typically amount to tens of thousand dollars — and you can use that money however you wish.

What are the benefits?

In addition to the protection that the

policy affords your loved ones: The money you get back from a Return of Premium policy is generally tax-free.

You can use the refund any way you choose—to help pay off a mortgage, fund college tuition, boost your retirement savings or something else.

Over the level premium period, your policy will build cash value and you can borrow against that during the initial term period.

The death benefit of your policy is generally income tax-free.

If you have one or more other policies with your insurer, adding this coverage may make you eligible for discounts.

What else should you consider?

To keep the policy from lapsing, you’ll need to make regular premium payments for 20 to 30 years.

Learn more about the Return of Premium policy from State Farm®, or contact your State Farm agent for details.

New Bay Street Outfitters opens Last Friday, October 25 marked the opening party for the new Bay Street Outfitters in the former Lipsitz Department Store space on Bay Street. The interior of the beautiful new spacious store was remodeled with the help of talented Interior Designer Liz O’Herron. Says Liz, “I wanted to stay true to Tony’s vision at the old Bay Street Outfitters since it’s been such an institution in Beaufort, and also incorporate the wonderful architectural elements of the new space and its history by rescuing and highlighting the wormy chestnut, pine ceilings and refurbished original paint on the walls to make it a beautiful new addition to Bay Street.”

Bay Street Outfitter’s owner Tony Royal said, “We just love what Liz has done for Bay Street Outfitters here. I just wish Liz could make me look as good as this store!”

The Lipsitz family turned out to support the new store and were excited to be back. “I just love what they have done here,” said Lucille Lipsitz. “And I wish them all the best with the new store!”

Here are some pics from the event for you. Be sure to head on down to 825 Bay Street and see the new store for yourself.

Pat Conroy raises money for USCB Center for the Arts Pat Conroy gave a wonderfully funny and touching talk about the events and family members surrounding the last days and funeral of his father, which he writes about in his new book “The Death of Santini.” The author spoke at the USCB Center For the Arts this past weekend as a fundraiser for the venue.

The Center For the Arts is totally dependent on private donations, fundraisers and ticket sales for its operation and upkeep as it is not a part of the University of South Carolina Beaufort budget. The auditorium is long overdue for refurbishment and they need to raise more than $1 million dollars to get new, more comfortable seats and a better sound system.

After the event last Saturday night, a book signing was held at the lovely historic Beaufort home of Dr. Mark and Allison Guilloud.

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

Bridges Prep hires Kay Keeler as administrator On October 21, Bridges Preparatory School (BPS) announced it hired Kay Keeler as the new Assistant Academic Administrator.

Keeler is a native of Florida with 28 years of experience in education. She first came to Beaufort in the 1970s when her husband was stationed here in the military. Locally, she taught at Broad River Elementary and served as lead teacher and principal of Port Royal Elementary. The past four years Keeler

was principal of St. Helena Elementary School, but she retired from the Beaufort County School District last June.

Mrs. Keeler holds a B.S. in Elementary and Early Childhood from the College of Charleston and a M.A. in Educational Leadership from The Citadel. Her expertise in Early Childhood Education will be a great asset to Bridges Prep, according to Bernie Schein, BPS Interim Administrator, who offered the position to Mrs. Keeler late last week.

“We both share the Paideia philosophy and are fully committed to it, knowing that social and emotional intelligence is the foundation for cognitive development. We both know that everything cannot happen at once, but with Kay here, Bridges will become a truly innovative school, delivering great results,” said Mr. Schein.

“It is an honor to be asked to be part of Bridges” Keeler said. “I watched attentively as our local charter schools

developed, and I always felt BPS had the right formula of committed parents, teachers and staff, that critical partnership that supports child development in a safe environment. Research says that children succeed when autonomy drives their learning. From what I have seen at BPS so far, we have the perfect setting for that kind of self-learner, and we will continue to provide new methods and provide forums for creative thinking, both for students and teachers.”

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

the interests of an artist

get to know the namesake behind elena madden gallery

Who: Elena Madden Education: Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

What she does: She is an awardwinning contemporary artist/painter whose work is in many important private and corporate collections. She and her husband run the Elena Madden Gallery on West Street in Downtown Beaufort.

Her background: Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Elena knew she was an artist at an early age. She said, “My parents are both artists and met at VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) so I grew up creating and thought that was how the typical American family lived ... The first piece of art I made was in my high chair. I drew a lion with a horizon in the background; my mother still has it.”

Her family: Elena met and married the love of her life, her husband and Nashville native, TJ Keim, 18 years ago and they have a wonderful daughter Hannah, 15.

“Our family loves being outdoors, we get out on the water as much as possible and I use it for inspiration,” she said.

Her Gallery: Elena and her husband first opened a successful gallery in Savannah that featured her work. In April, they opened a new gallery in Downtown Beaufort on West Street across from the Old Bull Tavern. Says Elena, “TJ has always been my biggest supporter and fan ... he has always believed in me and my work.”

Why Beaufort?: “My husband and I fell in love with Beaufort in college (at SCAD) when we would camp at Hunting Island. The love affair continued years later when we lived in Savannah; after we opened our art gallery there, we would visit Beaufort for weekend getaways and decided

One of Elena Madden’s paintings, By the Light of the Moon.

it would be a great place to raise our daughter.

Hannah does a wonderful job helping me with all of my social media, website and graphic arts at the gallery.”

The philosophy behind her art: “I want to inspire people to see the beauty of the world in a different way,” says Elena.

The subject of her work: “I started a series of light, water and motion about 15 years ago when we lived on a lake. I would sit on our dock and paint from life — small quick pieces of the movement in the water of color and light ... I did this for three years until I felt like I could paint the rhythm of motion and light on the water from memory. Over time it has become more abstracted, intuitive, a release of emotion.”

Her other interests: Lowcountry Orphan Relief (LOR). “I feel so blessed to have a happy, healthy family, full of love — I felt urged to find a way to get involved in helping children in need in our area,” Elena said. “I visited the LOR facility and was so impressed with all of the hard work of volunteers and private donors, in hearing the stories of these children, I wanted to help any way I could.”

She is having a fundraising event for The Lowcountry Orphan Relief this week at her gallery.

Says Elena, “From this Thursday, Oct. 31 to Saturday, Nov. 2, I will be donating a percentage of all sales in my gallery to Lowcountry Orphan Relief to help abused, neglected and abandoned children in the Lowcountry. My gallery is also a drop off location for donations. Immediate needs are soap and shampoo and clothing for boys and girls sizes 8-20.”

The Elena Madden Studio-Gallery is located at 208 West Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902, and is open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Visit www.elenamadden.com or call 912661-1534.

learn more about the nonprofit elena supports: lowcountry orphan relief Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Inc.

Four cellos and Bach, Mozart and Haydn “How could anyone think of Bach as cold when these cello suites seem to shine with the most glittering kind of poetry?”

— Pablo Casals Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach never traveled far from his birthplace. Fortunately for us and music lovers around the world, his music has. On Sunday, November 3 at 5 p.m., the USCB Festival Chamber Music series will welcome three of the world’s finest cellists as guests to play three different Bach compositions: Air from Orchestral Suite #3 in D Major, Aria from the Goldberg Variations and six of Bach’s eighteen Chorale Preludes perfected by the great composer towards the end of his life. Mozart’s lively and complex “Overture to the Marriage of Figaro” will provide a highlight from the Classical Period.

The final piece of the program will be the Finale of Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major, a work that was written around 1761, lost for a number of years, and rediscovered in 1961. Since then, this piece, particularly its spirited finale, has become a staple of the cello repertoire and a favorite with audiences around the world.

This opening concert will be the festival’s first ever cello quartet. Coming from concert stages around the world, Julie Albers, Zvi Plesser and David

Requiro will join Ed Arron, the festival’s artistic director and resident cellist, to perform works arranged for two, three, and four cellos

by Bach, Mozart, Julie Haydn, Arvo Part Albers and others. It should be a fascinating program and a delightful introduction to the 20132014 season.

American cellist Julie Albers was awarded the grand prize at the XIII International Competition for Young Musicians in Douai, France, and toured France as soloist with Orchestre Symphonique de Douai. Making her major orchestral debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1998, she has since performed in recital and with orchestras throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In 2001, she won Second Prize in Munich’s Internationalen Musikwettbewerbes der ARD and was also awarded the Wilhelm-WeichslerMusikpreis der Stadt Osnabruch. In 2003, Miss Albers was named the first Gold Medal Laureate of South Korea’s Gyeongnam International Music Competition, winning the $25,000 Grand Prize.

Israeli cellist Zvi Plesser has performed with the major orchestras in Europe, Asia, the United States and Israel under conductors Zubin Mehta, Sir Neville Marriner Asher Fisch, David Stern, and others. Recently he has performed in such venues as Paris’ Champs-Elysees and Musee du Louvre, Vienna’s Konzerthouse, Berlin’s Philharmonie, and London’s Wigmore Hall. In 2010 he was invited on a 14-concert tour of Australia with the Jerusalem String Quartet.

First Prize Winner of the 2008 Naumburg International Violoncello Competition, David Requiro has emerged as one of today’s most promising young cellists. After winning First Prize in both the Washington International and Irving M. Klein International String Competitions, he also captured a top prize at the Gaspar Cassadó International Violoncello Competition in Hachioji, Japan.

Mr. Requiro has made concerto appearances with the Tokyo Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, and with several California orchestras.

Sunday, Nov. 3 will be an evening to remember at the USCB Center for the Arts. Contact Staci Breton for tickets at 843-208-8246 or go to www.uscb.edu/ festivalseries for more information.

the indie film corner: ‘blue jasmine’ The USCB Center for the Arts presents the Indie film “Blue Jasmine” on Monday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. This Indie film is in English and lasts 1 hour, 38 minutes and is rated PG-13.

Writer and director Woody Allen’s drama “Blue Jasmine” is about the dire consequences that can result when people avert their eyes from reality and the truth they don’t want to see. After everything in her life falls to pieces, including her marriage to wealthy businessman Hal (Alec Baldwin), elegant New York socialite Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) moves into her sister Ginger’s (Sally Hawkins) modest apartment in San Francisco to try to pull herself back together again. While still able to project her aristocratic bearing, Jasmine is emotionally precarious

and lacks any practical ability to support herself. She disapproves of Ginger’s boyfriend Chili (Bobby Cannavale), who she considers another “loser” like Ginger’s ex-husband Augie (Andrew Dice Clay).

But as Jasmine derives her worth from the way she’s perceived by others, she herself is blind to what is going around her, and becomes the unwitting instrument of her own downfall. Also starring comedian Louis C.K. and Peter Sarsgaard.

USCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort.

For tickets, call 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Purchase tickets the day of performance; box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Beaufort Children’s Theatre presents ‘The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr.’ The beloved 1964 children’s book series “Flat Stanley,” written by Jeff Brown, has become a pop cultural phenomenon. The Beaufort Children’s Theatre will bring this story to life in its upcoming production of “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr.” on Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 17 at 3 p.m. at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts.

“This show is a musical comedy and is so much fun,” said Bonnie Hargrove, Director of the Beaufort Children’s Theatre. “It is a perfect show to bring the whole family to enjoy — the dialogue is clever and the music is very upbeat and

entertaining.”

The show is about Stanley Lambchop — your ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill 10-yearold boy: normal mom and dad, normal little brother, normal life. That’s just his problem ... for Stanley, life is too normal. He wants to travel the world to do amazing things.

Careful what you wish for, Stanley!

In the story – one night, the bulletin board on the wall above Stanley’s bed comes loose and falls – right on top of Stanley. The next morning, Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat. Not just a

little flat...really, REALLY flat! In a whirlwind musical travelogue, Stanley – the ultimate exchange student – scours the globe for a solution to his unusual problem.

“The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley Jr.” is an hour long performance involving 84 local auditioned actors ranging from age 6-18. The Beaufort Children’s Theatre leadership includes Bonnie Hargrove, Director; Jim Riley, Music Director; Valerie Hobbs, Choreographer, and the involvement from parents and generous community members.

“We always have a great group audition with many returning young actors from our previous productions,” said Hargrove. “The lead this season, Walker Perryman, is a newcomer to the stage and is a 10-year-old boy, just like Stanley.”

Tickets are available online at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com where audience members can select specific theater seats ranging from $15-$25 for adults and $10-$15 for children. Tickets may also be purchased by calling the USCB Center for the Arts Box Office at 843-521-4145. The performance will be at the USCB Center for the Arts at 805 Carteret Street in downtown Beaufort.

Marines from Parris Island came to do a service project at River Oaks Assisted Living facility in Port Royal. Last Friday, the Marines escorted and helped take five residents fishing on the dock next door to the facility. Director Tony Makar said he was very grateful for their time and service.

The dedicated staff at Hobbit Hill in Shell Point is supporting breast cancer awareness and the search for a cure by wearing pink shirts that say “Fight Like a Girl” during each Friday in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Way to go, ladies!

The ongoing recall of pet food

By Tracie Korol

In case you missed it, this week the FDA issued an alert concerning Chinese-made jerky treats in tenders or strips made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes and/or dried fruit. Since 2007, 3,600 dogs and 10 cats in the U.S. have fallen ill after eating jerky. Of these pets, 580 died.

It’s not an official recall because the FDA remains clueless, after six years, as to the source of the contaminant save that they’re pretty sure it’s of Chinese origin.

So now, the FDA is asking pet owners and veterinarians for help in finding the elusive cause. A fact sheet is available for vets to know the exact lab tests needed in order to help as well as how consumers can help report illnesses or deaths.

According to FDA sources, once the offending jerky is consumed it causes illness within hours. The treats have caused symptoms like decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus), increased water consumption, and/or increased urination. The fatal cases have come from kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and a rare kidney disorder.

While a formal recall has not been

issued, the FDA said it removed some jerky treats from store shelves in New York in January after a lab found “evidence of up to six drugs in certain jerky pet treats made in China.” Almost a year ago, some companies voluntarily issued recalls for their products, including: • Nestle Purina PetCare Co.: Waggin’ Train Canyon Creek Ranch brand dog treats • Del Monte Corp.: Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky Chicken Grillers home-style dog treats • Publix Stores: Chicken Tenders Dog Chew Treats • IMS Pet Industries Inc.: Cadet Brand Chicken Jerky Treats sold in the U.S. I’ve never been a fan of processed treats for my pets because they’re crazy expensive

plus they’re not made of anything resembling food. What pet owners need to realize is that our Best Friends don’t need treats to begin with. WE think WE need treats because we like to snack, they’re fun, forbidden foods and as Americans, it’s our right to eat incessantly throughout the day.

Our dogs, however, do not. Sure, they’re happy to eat anything we give them, not because we’re we are providing them lifesustaining nutrients, but because they see it makes us happy. And that’s what they live for — to make us happy.

Here’s an exercise: gather up all the gailycolored packets of dog goodies you have in house. Put them in a pile and then add up how much money you spent in total.

Compare the number of “baco things” per packet to the amount you paid. This might involve some rudimentary algebra.

Chances are each rubbery wad costs about 70 cents each. Then, flip the bags over and read what they’re made of.

You might see something like: sodium nitrite and BHA, ground wheat, corn gluten meal, yellow corn, water, sugar, glycerin, soybean meal, hydrogenated starch hydrolysis, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid, and artificial smoke flavors. Plus a few mysterious ingredients that could, quite possibly, originated in China. Then, look down to the very bottom of all the type on the back of the packet. Chances are you’ll see the words “Distributed by...” That doesn’t mean made by. Nowhere on that packet are you going to see made by. If you don’t know who’s making it, or where it came from, why give it to your dog? Consider, too, that each of these “treats” has calories, not that you’ll see that on the packet, either. Is your Best Friend a bit chubby?

Guess why.

Once you’re done with that exploration, gather up all the packets and throw them away. Then, cook your dog a sweet potato.

Cut it in strips, sprinkle it w/a bit of garlic powder, let the strips dehydrate in a slow oven until you have ... jerky. Clean, chemical free, good for your pet and made with love for the pet that loves you.

Retired Marine is guest of honor on Parris Island

By Bob Sofaly

James E. Walls was born in Crumpton, Maryland, in 1930. At 17, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marines and served on an oil tanker visiting exotic ports in South America, the Suez Canal and all the way to the Persian Gulf.

But for Walls it wasn’t enough.

He expected more out of life and was looking for something different. So, in 1954 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was later assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, deploying to the Mediterranean Sea. In 1966, he was a platoon sergeant in South Vietnam with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines and fought on the legendary Hill 55. Casualties were so high in the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, it was pulled out of Vietnam, and Walls returned to Parris Island where he served his second tour as a drill instructor.

In 1982, Walls served as Depot Sgt. Major at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. Walls retired in 1983. He and his wife of 54 years, Lillian, settled down in the quiet Shell Point neighborhood where he is still referred to as the Sgt. Major.

The color guard for last Friday’s Morning Colors ceremony gets ready to raise the “Garrison Flag”. The flag is so large it takes two Marines to carry it.

wine

I think you know my sister...

By Celia Strong

The Margaret River - Cape Mentelle area of Australia is known for tourism, surfing, caves, and, yes, good wine.

Which is the whole point of learning about it. So, a lot of interesting tidbits to cover, all of which come together to make our wine for this week what it is.

First, let’s look at Australia — the country where Margaret River and Cape Mentelle are located. The Australian wine industry is the fourth largest in the world. About 40 percent of their total production is consumed in Australia. There are more than 60 designated wine regions, with about 350,000 acres of vineyards. The best known regions are South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland.

Their main grape varieties are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Wines labeled as a grape variety must include a minimum 85 percent of the named grape. The first grapevines were brought to Australia in 1788, but the plantings failed. The 1820’s saw the first wines produced in Australia. The beginnings of the industry were hindered by a climate and soils that were very different than those the European growers were used to.

They learned and adapted, though, and now they are a huge industry.

The Margaret River wine area is located in the South West of Western Australia, 172 miles south of Perth. The cost here is well known to world surfers. Before wine became so popular, and a driving force in tourism in the area, hardwood timber and agriculture were the mainstays of the local economy. Locally, the area is known as “Margs.” The town’s name, also Margaret River, is thought to come from Margaret Whicher, a cousin of John Garrett Bussell who founded Bussellton (another town) in 1831.

The Margaret River is located six miles inland from the Indian Ocean. Boy, it’s not often we hear about that one in terms of wine regions and climates. Anyhow, the climate here is a humid, Mediterranean one.

Annual rainfall is about 44 inches, mostly between May and August. During the

growing season, humidity levels, soil content and vineyard practices all come together to make this area’s wines exceed expectations and make them one of the premium wine producing areas in Australia. (We have to remember, harvest in the Southern Hemisphere comes before this rainier season.) The Margaret River wine region is mostly boutique style wineries.

Cape Mentelle is a limestone bulkhead on the Indian Ocean coast of southwestern Western Australia. It is located just north of the mouth of the Margaret River, about 12 miles north of the town of Margaret River. The cape was named on February 4, 1803, by French geographer, historian and cartographer Edme Mentelle. The cape was first charted in 1801, by a French expedition. And the cape gave its name to our winery for this week — Cape Mentelle.

Australian wine industry pioneer David Hohnen, and his brothers, established the winery in 1970. They started with just 35 acres of vines, now called the Wallcliffe Vineyard.

They experimented with various grape varieties, including Shiraz, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. In the beginning, they were known for their Cabernet wines. In 1983, they won a prestigious award for their 1-year-old dry red wine.

Another award, in 1984, cemented their reputation. Their Cabernet was considered as one of Australia’s best wines. Of course, these awards meant that Cape Mentelle concentrated on red wines. In the beginning, at least.

In 1985, though, the winery saw a turn toward white wines. That was the year that David Hohnen founded a sister winery in New Zealand called Cloudy Bay. World recognition for Cloudy Bay, and their Sauvignon Blanc wine, helped Cape Mentelle Winery gain

“We’re big believers in small business.”

recognition also. And, Cape Mentelle went on to develop a special white wine, a Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend.

Backing up for a moment, though, the 1970s and 1980s at Cape Mentelle Winery were years of experimenting.

Improvements in quality and consistency, the understanding of what each grape could do in its particular soil and climate, and the development of a winery style — all of these were what the winery worked on. A partnership with Veuve Clicquot, the Champagne house, brought them financial means to move forward. That meant modern equipment, a new cellar and global markets. Pretty much, a ticket to success, with the right basics, of course.

Today, Cape Mentelle is still part of the Moët-Hennessey portfolio and is still a sister to Cloudy Bay. And still making their special white wine — Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, our wine for this week. As we’ve learned lately, Sauvignon Blanc is a white variety that comes from the Loire River Valley and Bordeaux regions of France. It found a niche in the soil and climate of New Zealand that let it become a popular wine around the world. In Australia, this variety found a home in the Margaret River region. As compared to its New Zealand sisters, Sauvignon Blanc wines from Australia tend to be more ripe in fruit flavors, including white peaches and lime notes.

And with a bit higher acidity, which is

saying a lot.

Semillon is a much less well-known variety. This grape has a gold colored skin, not green or pinkish green. It is a vigorous variety, which means it grows a large number of bunches per vine and grapes per acre. Its wines tend to be more heavy than Sauvignon Blanc’s, with lower acidity and an oily texture.

Because of its vigor in the vineyards, Semillon has been grown in almost every wine region in the world. It was once the most planted grape in the world. By the 1920s, Semillon covered over 90 percent of the vineyards in South Africa. In the 1950’s, it was planted in over 75 percent of Chile’s vineyards. In France, in Bordeaux, it is one of three approved varieties for their white wines, including the great Sauternes. In Sauternes, the high number of grapes per acre, and its ability to stay on the vines and develop botrytis, make it into some of the best and most expensive dessert wines ever.

For a long time, in Australia, Semillon was a very popular and widely planted grape. Sometimes, though, in the beginning, it was labelled Riesling. Oops.

Cape Mentelle found that in their Margaret River region, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blended together can become a special wine. So, we get the 2011, 51 percent Sauvignon Blanc and 49 percent Semillon. This wine is fermented in stainless steel to augment its fruit flavors. It is a bright quartz color with greenish tints, with intense fruit flavors and complexity. The flavors include citrus, grapefruit in particular, stone fruits, like peaches, nectarines and kumquats, and tropical fruits like star fruit, mango, passion fruit, guava and more. The natural acidity in this wine is readily apparent, but not too aggressive. During aging, only about 15 percent is barrel aged — just enough to add vanilla and toast hints, if you’re paying attention.

While great with seafood, this wine is also perfect with a turkey dinner. We did say we needed to find new wines for holiday dinners. So this Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is new, different, delicious. And only $13.99.

Nice to meet the sister. Enjoy!

To our way of thinking, there’s nothing small about small business.

Small business banking is one of our specialties. We’re big believers in small business. Small businesses are the nation’s largest employer. Our commercial lenders know the local economy. They take the time to learn about your business so they can deliver the kind of professional service that you want and need.

Church hosts annual Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans

The First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort will host their seventh annual Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans Worship Service on Sunday, November 3, in the church sanctuary, 1201 North Street, Beaufort.

A reception on the plaza will follow the worship service, where the Scottish tartans will be displayed and local bagpiper Bob Stinson will play.

The Kirkin’ ceremony celebrates the Scottish roots of the Presbyterian Church, and was begun in America in 1941 by Dr. Peter Marshall, a native Scot, Chaplain of the Senate, and minister at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. His sermon, entitled “the Kirkin’ of the Tartan” encouraged unity of the people of the United States in the face of threats of war in Europe as well as

funds for British war relief. Thereafter, the St. Andrews Society then began holding annual “kirking” at Washington Cathedral and the custom spread across the United States. The service at First Presbyterian Church will include traditional Scottish prayers and hymns, kilts and tartan, music, and other aspects of Scottish culture.

The service is a churching (kirking), or blessing, of the church family in the church.

First Presbyterian Church Beaufort was founded in 1912 and is a member of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. It is located at the corner of North and Church streets. http://www.firstpresbeaufort.org.
