Frequently Asked Questions of the Beaufort Fire Department Could a fire similar to one that devastated Georgetown, SC’s historic Front Street in September happen in Beaufort?

Fires can and do happen anywhere.

They spread more quickly where the buildings are close together and especially where they were built long ago, without advances in fire prevention design, alarms, sprinkler systems, etc.

Beaufort’s last major fire in the historic downtown area occurred in December 2008 when the Bay Street Professional Building of law offices caught fire in the early morning. It took more than 14 hours to put out that blaze. Thankfully, no one was killed or injured.

The Beaufort Fire Department stresses fire prevention in hopes of avoiding or limiting fires, especially in the downtown residential and business areas. Simple tasks such as checking electrical cords and extension cords, making sure appliances are turned off, and in restaurants, double-checking to be sure cooking items are cooled off and that grease and oils are properly stored, can prevent tragic fires.

Additionally, the fire department and its inspectors offer free and voluntary inspections for commercial properties.

These inspections inform firefighters about the interior layout of the various buildings, potential challenges in fighting a fire (stairwells, airflow issues, construction or design, etc.) and also provide an opportunity for them to share specific recommendations on how to improve fire safety. For more information about these fire inspections, call 525-7055 or email City-Fire@cityofbeaufort.org.

How is Beaufort prepared to fight a fire in a concentrated downtown area?

As part of its strategic planning and regular training, the Beaufort Fire Department is well-prepared to combat fires in the Lowcountry.

Specific to the downtown residential and business districts, the fire department’s equipment includes:

• One 100-foot Tower/Ladder truck and one 85-foot Tower/Ladder truck, both equipped with water pumps rated at 2,000 gallons per minute and long enough to reach any structure in Beaufort or Port Royal; • Five pumpers each equipped with water pumps rated at over 1,500 gallons per minute; • An extensive fleet of other fire response vehicles to respond to varying types and sizes of fires in the area; • The Burton and Lady’s Island-St. Helena fire districts also have ladder trucks that could be called upon for assistance, as do the Marine Corps Air Station and Marine Corps Parris Island Recruit Depot fire stations; • Most of the department’s vehicles are able to make the tight turns along narrow roads in Beaufort, such as those in the Point neighborhood.

As part of the basic firefighter certification and then as part of the Beaufort Fire Department’s ongoing training, firefighters rehearse how to fight different types of fires in different settings — including areas such as Beaufort’s downtown Bay Street where century-old structures are built right beside each other, and historic neighborhoods where homes can be 150-200 years old.

The water pipes beneath downtown Beaufort are old. Are the water supply and pressure sufficient for firefighting needs?

Water pressure throughout Beaufort, including the downtown area, is monitored closely by the Beaufort Fire Department and Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority.

The good water pressure and regularly-tested fire hydrants helped the city and Port Royal earn upgraded ratings by the Insurance Services Organization, which largely determines how much businesses pay for fire insurance.

The City of Beaufort and Beaufort Fire Department are confident water pressure and water supply are sufficient to fight any fire in Beaufort.

Additionally, they have the capability to pump water directly from the Beaufort River onto a nearby fire.

Has Beaufort reviewed its inventory of firefighting vehicles and equipment recently?

Yes. As part of the Beaufort Fire Department’s annual budgeting, all equipment is inventoried and its condition noted. The department also maintains a “life-cycle” program where equipment, including pumper trucks, is inspected and considered for major repair or replacement.

What makes the biggest difference in preventing or limiting fires in commercial districts or dense neighborhoods?

• Prevention: Working with local businesses, neighborhood associations and residents to share tips on preventing fires in the first place; • Early detection: Through fire alarms and sprinkler systems, the sooner the local firefighters learn about a fire, the quicker they can get to the site and begin putting it out; • Quick response: The Beaufort Fire Department has a main fire station near the corner of Ribaut Road and Boundary Street, only blocks away from the downtown and Historic District. This enables firefighters and their trucks to begin fighting a downtown fire very quickly; • Pre-incident surveys by firefighters have cataloged most of the downtown Beaufort commercial properties so the Fire Department knows the interior layout of the buildings, the locations of stairways and electrical panels, and other key information needed in a fire; • Solid command structure: The Beaufort Fire Department, which also serves Port Royal, has a clear command structure that was praised by the International City/County Management Association in a 2010 study. This organizational chart helps ensure that any fire is properly managed and that all needed resources are brought in, including those from nearby fire districts or the military.

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating an attempted armed robbery and assault that occurred Friday, Sept. 27 at Seabrook Mobile Home Park.

At approximately 9:15 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to Martin Lane in reference to a reported assault occurring moments earlier. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with a 57-year-old male who advised that he’d been assaulted by

four unknown men.

The victim reported that he was walking to his home on Martin Lane when the men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, approached him. The suspects demanded money, but when the victim told them he did not have any, they punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The suspects continued to punch and kick the victim several times before fleeing the area towards Detour Road.

The victim was able to describe his attackers only as black males between 16-20 years of age. The Sheriff ’s Office asks anyone with information to contact either Investigator Sgt. J. Gobel at 843255-3421 or Crimestoppers.

This includes 553 male Marines from Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and 122 female Marines from November Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion.

Colonel Charles (Charlie) and Sarah Schreiner were recently selected by the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association to receive the Community Service Award in recognition of their lifetime contribution to their country, county and community.

Col. Schreiner, with the support of Sarah and his family, completed a distinguished career in the Marine Corps and in 1978 they settled in their home on Lady’s Island.

Over the years they have performed numerous acts of kindness in support of their neighbors. Indicative of their community spirit is Sarah who, for 33 years, each week delivered meals to families in need as part of the Mobile Meals Program. Charlie’s contributions include serving as a member of the Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District

Commission for 17 years, the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association Community Preservation Committee for 15 years, and a past member of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association Board of Directors for seven years, and 10 years on the Beaufort Area Transportation Committee.

Both Charlie and Sarah, quietly and without fanfare, have given of their time and talent to make our community a better place to live, work and raise our families. The Community Spirit Award will be presented to them for their lifetime of service at the October LIBPA meeting. Also, a donation will be made by LIBPA in their name to the charity of their choice, which they have designated as the Mobile Meals Program.

voices women of greatness

Never give up, never quit

By Martha Cooper-Hudson

Life is a struggle. Life will throw curveballs at you, it will humble you, it will attempt to break you down. And just when you think things are starting to look up, life will smack you back down with ruthless indifference. Life was never meant to be easy; it can sometimes be a constant struggle, with extreme lows and extreme highs.

Anything that comes easy will never last and anything that lasts will never come easy — that is why you should never give up, never quit.

Martha Those are Cooperthe words that Hudson Tonya Green, a phenomenal Woman of Greatness, says to herself everyday, as every day for her is a fight for her survival. I had the honor and privilege to meet this kind and courageous woman a month ago and her story is truly one of courage, perseverance and survival.

At the tender age of 38, Tonya Green was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. After a doctor’s visit and the reading of her echocardiogram, Tonya realized that she had inherited the same condition that killed her grandfather at

the age of 45 and that her mother lives with today. Congested heart failure is just one of the many curveballs life has thrown her way in the past three years. Tonya’s story is truly about a woman who will never surrender nor retreat. Most people would have given up or quit on life when faced with the same obstacles she has had to overcome, but for Tonya giving up and quitting is not an option.

In October of 2010, Tonya suffered a stroke, one that left her unable to operate at 100 percent. But Tonya said she had her rock, her angel, the love of her life Charlie Green by her side to help her get through this difficult time. That was until the day God called her husband home on February 26, 2011, four short months after she had her stroke. Tonya wondered how this could be happening to her, why would God take Charlie from her and their children? How can I move forward without my rock, my strength, my beloved husband, she thought. She even questioned herself: “Did I put my husband before God or did Charlie put me before God?” As if that wasn’t enough to break a person down, Tonya’s heart began to deteriorate at a rapid pace and on December 7, 2011, Tonya had a heart transplant at Duke Medical center, 10 months after losing her husband in a car accident. Fast forward

Tonya Green is a Woman of Greatness who never gives up, never quits fighting.

two years, her body has begun to reject the heart she received in 2011, and the doctor states that she is too weak at this moment to undergo another transplant. But she continues to stand on these words: Never give up, never quit fighting.

After all of the curve balls that have been thrown her way, when asked what keeps her fighting every day, in her soft and calm voice she simply said,“My love for my children.” The need and the desire to raise her 14-year-old son who is a freshman at Beaufort Academy. The determination to see her first grand child who is due in this world in a couple of months. But most of all, her belief in knowing that by his stripes she will be healed.

Tonya’s greatest hope and prayer is that she is able to see her son become an adult, and that if her determination and desire to live can inspire one person to keep moving

forward and never give up then her journey will not have been in vain.

Just remember that no matter what mountain is standing in your way, no matter what curve ball is thrown in your direction, if you keep the faith, never give up, keep trying and gain a closer relationship with God, you can and will make it.

Adversities reveal who you are and also reveal who you can become. In my eyes, Tonya Green is truly a woman of greatness and we salute her for sharing her journey and her willingness to inspire others.

While lying in bed at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Tonya states that she can’t wait to be able to sing as loud as she can her favorite song: “If it had not been for the Lord on my side, tell me where would I be.”

Ladies, everyone has a story. Let me hear from you. Send me an email at womenofgreatness@gmail.com — you never know how your story can and will impact others.

Study finds tablets help people with low vision

By Mark Siegel, MD

When gift shopping this year, you have the opportunity to give back a priceless gift to a loved one with low vision: the joy of reading.

People who have eye diseases that damage their central vision can again read quickly and comfortably by using digital tablets, a study shows. On average, patients with moderate vision loss significantly increased their reading speed and comfort using an iPad digital tablet. The researchers think that other tablets that feature back-lit screens and font-enlargement capabilities would offer similar benefits.

Millions of people who have eye diseases such as macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy struggle with the loss of their central vision. These diseases damage the light-sensitive cells of the eye’s retina, which relays images to the optic nerve for transmission to the brain. When treatments like

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Medical Director, Sea Island Ophthalmology

www. seaislandophthalmology.com

eyeglasses, medications, or surgery are no longer effective, ophthalmologists and eye care professionals help patients make the most of their remaining sight by using low vision aids. Before digital tablets came along, reading aids were limited to lighted magnifiers, which are cumbersome and inconvenient by comparison.

Reading is a simple pleasure that we often take for granted until vision loss makes it difficult. The findings show that at a relatively low cost, digital tablets can improve the lives of people with vision loss and help them reconnect with the larger world.

All of the 100 participants in the study, conducted at Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine, gained at least 42 words-per-minute when using the iPad2 set to 18-point font, compared with reading a print book or newspaper. People with the poorest vision showed the most improvement in speed when using an iPad or Kindle™, compared with print. The Kindle model used in the study did not have a backlit screen, although a newer model, the Kindle Fire, does.

Today’s high-tech gadgets have features that make living with low vision a bit easier. And if you or a loved one is using such devices for their built-in magnification and backlighting, consider adding apps to track eye health as well.

You have more tools at your disposal than ever before to take control of your eye health.

Some features of these devices and their apps can include: Enlargement. Smartphones, tablets

and e-readers all have enlargement capabilities, though they will not enlarge text as much as a dedicated CCTV magnifier will. Not all e-readers can increase contrast, which can be a big help for people with low vision. Shop around to see if a particular e-reader will meet your needs.

Lighting. Apps for many tablets and smartphones use your device’s camera and light source to illuminate text or other things you need to see more clearly.

Voice interface. Many smartphones have some level of voice-recognition, which may help to send texts and emails among other things. Smartphone mapping apps will give turn-by-turn voice commands to help drivers with low vision to find their way when they have trouble reading street signs.

If you or someone you know has low vision, consider some of these latest high tech gadgets. They can be a big help, and they are getting better every year.

How do you see stress: Bodily Armageddon or preparation for a hero?

By Danette Vernon

The ONLY Clinically Proven

Treatment for Neuropathy Symptoms include:

• Numbness/Burning/Pain • Leg Cramping • Sharp, electrical - like pain • Difficulty sleeping due to leg and foot discomfort

We all know that stress causes cancer, heart attacks, allergies, and a lowered immune system. For some of us, even the fear of what might happen if we don’t lower our stress — can be very stressful.

People have tried many ways to lower the stress in their lives, sometimes even going to extremes. A few years ago Subway posted stories of people who changed their lives. They gave up the corporate ladder for the opportunity to teach skiing in Colorado or run the chuck wagon on fake trail rides in Missouri. Not all of us believe we can afford quite that level of change to avoid the stress of living in this world, so we may visit a healer, learn to meditate, or simply go on vacation. We feel, and at times rightly so, it’s either that or invest in having a hex put on someone — our evil ex, an overly smug co-worker, or the neighbor with the barking dog.

It’s all doable in the Lowcountry, but none of its necessary. We don’t have to go anywhere or spend any money or think “positively” positive thoughts. We just have to change our mind.

New research shows that stress is not a killer. It’s whether you believe stress to be your downfall or your helpmate.

Kelly McGonogal, a professor in both business and medicine at Stanford University, reports on a research project that followed 30,000 adults for eight years. They were asked two primary questions: One, what is your level of stress? Two, do you believe your stress to be helpful or harmful to your health?

Eight years later, death records were

Moment of Wellness with Danette Vernon reviewed. People who self-reported a lot of stress and who viewed stress as harmful to their health were 43% more likely to have died. The study found that people who self-reported a lot of stress but viewed their stress as helpful, were no more likely to have died in those eight years than people who originally reported low stress.

Kelly reviews the signs of stress for us, and how can we re-think or “change our mind” about what each signal means, for example, a pounding heart?

“Preparation for action,” Kelly declares.

Heavy breathing? More oxygen and therefore more energy to the brain!

Kelly tells us to think of the signs of stress as, “my body helping me rise to the challenge.” Your body is preparing you to be brave and if you believe that, your body will as well.

Nice in theory, but just how is this belief enacted in the body? For one, if you take in this new image of stress as gospel, then the blood vessels to the heart that might ordinarily constrict considerably with the exertion of emotional or mental stress — don’t. They merely narrow slightly, which is, as Kelly noted, the same as when you experience joy.

Changing your mind could prepare your body to experience the everyday stress you encounter in life as preparation for heroic acts, or at least as the physical equivalent of joy.

Positive results from treatment include:

Aim to out-do only yourself

By Takiya Smith

Right about now, it’s 11:30 p.m. on a Sunday night and being as it is that I write a column based upon inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness, I would think it pretty safe to say that I am breaking all the rules that I so diligently ask of you ladies to not do. However, in the ever-so-popular and eloquently put words of our mothers and grandmothers, I gently ask that you do as I say and not as I do. I should be in bed. Better yet, I should have been in bed hours ago, as I have made it a point to get sufficient rest, improve my diet and exercise and all around learn to take a break from the throws of being a full time mommy, wife to be (a girl must dream and plan), business savvy CEO, girly girl and dedicated fashionista. Yet, somehow, my mind is supercharged and my body, cooperatively agreeing, is all aboard for my current state of midnight madness. Tomorrow will certainly call for tea bags and cucumbers on the eyes, a stylish monogramed scarf on my head, next week’s column topic and a cup of my sister Michelle’s fresh home brewed and express coffee.

My mind has a million and one things racing through it, but in the midst of it all, what forces its way to the surface is my desire to write. Church today was truly

Life is not about competition, and it’s not a competition unless you choose to make it that way. Compete with no one but yourself; always strive to beat and one up your last best. exceptional, not that it is ever anything less, but today I received a message that ignited a deeper passion within me to reach out and share with you. I write and I talk because of you. I laugh and I cry for you. I pray and I experience because of you. Today it was said that I should never back down from what God has given me to do. Well, if I know nothing else, I know exactly what it is that I was placed here on this earth to do and that

is to be a woman. A beautiful, confident, compelling, complete and compassionate woman. I love clothes; I love shopping; I love makeup; I love cute little, teenytiny purse puppy dogs; and while were at it, I love purses. I L-O-V-E, love shoes and I love all things fashion, design and beauty. I make no apologies for that and I certainly make no apologies that the word “designer” tends to go in front of most of those things that I love, because simply put, as a woman, it is placed in me to know how to love. So when it comes to doing and having the things that we love, we shouldn’t have to defend, appease, compete or appeal to anyone for what we so love.

Life is not about competition and it’s not a competition unless you choose to make it. Compete with no one but yourself. Always striving and ever rising to the challenges to beat, out-do and one up “your” last best. Aim to out-do only you, thus the rewards are greater and the road less traveled will never be a lonely one when you are secure in whom and whose you are. Beauty sincerely begins within.

Locally owned glass company celebrates 10 years

By Pamela Brownstein

By the time you get in touch with Robert Browning, chances are you’re already a little broken up. Or, at least a piece of glass in your car or home is in need of repair, and that can be a stressful situation. That’s why for Browning, owner of Glass Express in Beaufort, customer service and quality workmanship are so important.

“We work hard to prove ourselves, one happy customer at a time,” said Browning, who has more than 30 years of experience in the glass industry.

After studying to be a geologist in college, he was undecided about his career path, so he started working at a friend’s glass company in the meantime and just stuck with it. He’s managed glass shops all over including Michigan, Tennessee and North Carolina. It was while he was working outside of Asheville, N.C., that he met his wife, Annah.

“I kept asking her out and she said no,” he admits with a chuckle. “So when I stopped, that’s when she decided to give it a shot.”

The couple has been together for 17 years, and married to each other twice, technically. The first time they were married by a captain on a fishing boat in the Outer Banks, and even though they had a marriage license, the county deemed it unofficial. So a few years later they were officially wed by a justice of the peace in Florida.

Robert said the two arrived in Beaufort by accident.

They met a couple from Beaufort who bad-mouthed their hometown, and that piqued the Brownings’ curiosity. They decided to visit and liked it so much, they couldn’t understand the bad critique.

As a lifelong fisherman, Robert was drawn to the

Robert and Annah Browning are the owners of Glass Express on Boundary Street.

water, and they built their home on St. Helena Island.

“I love the coastal lifestyle,” he said of the area, and he takes his boat out often to his favorite fishing spot in St. Helena Sound.

He said that even though as a small business owner he hasn’t had an official vacation in 10 years, “I’m on vacation everyday when I go home; that’s why we live in paradise.”

From his shop on Boundary Street, Robert talks about the changes he’s seen with the improvement of technology — from handwritten invoices to pagers to cell phones and computers. Today, Robert focuses on work in the shop and making repairs while Annah works on the office side and does all the books. He said her outgoing personality makes her a natural when it comes to dealing with customers.

Running a glass company comes with unique challenges. “I’ve been cut so many times, you don’t

even realize it,” he says matter-of-factly. But he’s been fortunate that he’s never had one stitch. He said the most important item of protective gear is a pair of safety glasses. He joked that glass must be attracted to the eyes because it can jump up and get in your eyes even while wearing the safety glasses.

When it comes to fixing glass, Robert said he’s never had a vehicle that he can’t figure out. “This business doesn’t come with an instruction manual,” he quips.

Especially when it comes to automobiles, the trick is how to fix a windshield or broken window without damaging the vehicle. Robert said his goal is “when we’ve worked on your car, you can’t tell we’ve worked on it.”

Beyond the tangible hazards, the owners of small glass companies are competing with big corporations for business. Robert is a member of the South Carolina Independent Glass Association, which recently saw state legislation passed that works to prevent large companies and third party affiliates from dominating the glass industry. Similar bills have been passed in states throughout the country, according to Browning, and he sees it as an important first step. But he fears that without more regulation, the small locally owned glass shops could go the way of hometown hardware stores.

He said he appreciates the support of local businesses, and especially local insurance agents who refer clients to his shop.

Regardless of the changes to the industry, Browning believes that actions speak louder than words and remains committed to high standards. “It’s important to get it right every single time.”

Glass Express is located at 1806 Boundary Street, Beaufort. Call 843-379-7222 or visit glassexpress.org.

state farm agent breaks ground on new office Andy Corriveau, a State Farm agent in Beaufort since 1981, has broken ground on a new mixed-use office and apartment complex. His new office will be located at the intersection of Greenlawn and Pearl streets at Beaufort Town Center. The building was designed by Cooter Ramsey of Allison Ramsey Architects with site design

by Jeff Ackerman of Carolina Engineering Consultants, Inc. Patterson Construction will begin construction immediately. Mr. Ramsey stated that the building is designed to capture the feel of a small downtown brick building much like those on Bay Street. Mr. Corriveau’s office will be on the bottom floor and the building will have two apartments on the second. The site has room for a second building.

Dick Stewart with 303 Associates, the developer of Beaufort Town Center, said, “We were very pleased when Andy decided to relocate his State Farm Agency in Beaufort Town Center. His agency’s presence confirms the area’s attractiveness for professional offices. The area’s unique location — across from the county government complex, adjacent to the city municipal complex, equidistant between the military bases, in the midst of our institutions of higher education — cannot be duplicated.

We are glad to have Agent Corriveau and his team here.”

Agent Corriveau chose Beaufort Town Center as the location of his new office because this development will be future proofed due to the nature of mix-use occupancies and the energy which will occur in this central location. “Our clients and their needs are our number one focus and our new office will better position us to deliver on our promise of service,” Agent Corriveau said.

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

District average SAT scores up for high school seniors Average SAT scores of 2013 graduating seniors in the Beaufort County School District increased significantly from the previous year, the College Board reported.

Average scores for Beaufort County public school seniors increased 48 points, from 1,383 in 2012 to 1,431 in 2013. Average scores at four of the district’s five high schools improved, while scores at one decreased: • Hilton Head High School’s 2013 seniors posted the district’s highest average scores at 1,548, up from 1,479 last year (81 percent of seniors tested).

• Bluffton High’s average was 1,449, up from 1,420 last year (65 percent

tested).

• Beaufort High’s average was 1,403, down from 1,419 last year (72 percent tested).

• Battery Creek High’s average was 1,332, up from 1,265 last year (42 percent tested).

• Whale Branch Early College High’s average was 1,169, up from 1,155 last year (49 percent tested).

Statewide, South Carolina’s overall 2013 state public school average was up one point to 1,423. The national average was down three points to 1,474.

“After several years of relatively flat SAT scores, it’s good to see a solid increase from our 2013 seniors,” said

Superintendent Jeff Moss. “The hope is that this year’s performance will start a long-term trend of steady improvement.”

Chief Instructional Services Officer Dereck Rhoads said the district’s high schools are working to make more effective use of individual student feedback from preliminary SAT and ACT tests. Careful review of those results should help teachers build on students’ academic strengths and work to address their weaknesses, he said.

Rhoads also suggested that improving academic results at the district’s elementary and middle schools could result in improved SAT and ACT scores as those students move on to

high school. “These are solid gains, but we still have a lot of work to do if we’re going to reach and surpass the national average,” he said.

Moss said the key to doing well on either the SAT or ACT college entrance exams continues to be preparation.

“Both college entrance exams tell students right up front, ‘If you want to do well on our tests, these are the courses you need to take,’ ” Moss said. “High school guidance counselors always let students know that they need to be academically prepared in order to get good scores. College readiness, whether for a two-year or four-year institution, is all about preparation.”

NEW MUSIC PROGRAM DEBUTS AT COOSA A state-of-the-art music program is in full swing at Coosa Elementary with the spotlight on new music teacher, Mrs. Anna Wheeler.

Mrs. Anna Wheeler, a recent graduate of Charleston Southern University, is the new music teacher at Coosa Elementary School. Mrs. Wheeler brings an innovative, state-of-the-art program to the school, which includes three specialty music groups: Coosa Chorale, Coosa Consort, and Bobcat Orff Corps. These groups will debut at Coosa’s Harvest Hoe Down on October 11 at 5:30 p.m.

Coosa Chorale is a mixed choral group of 30 students from grades 2-4, who will learn a wide variety of literature in English, Latin, French, German, and Spanish and become proficient in gradelevel solfège. They meet every Monday and Wednesday from 7:15 to 7:45 a.m.

Coosa Consort is a mixed recorder group of 25 fourth grade students. They meet Anna each Thursday from Wheeler 7:15 to 7:45 a.m.

The Bobcat Orff Corps is a mixed instrumental group of 26 students from Coosa’s 2nd and 3rd grades, who will explore music fundamentals through Orff pedagogy.

These students will play glockenspiel, xylophone, metallophone, temple blocks, resonator bells, and other instruments.

They meet Tuesdays and Fridays of each week from 7:15 to 7:45 a.m.

Students were required to fill out applications in order to be considered for each group. Teachers received a large number of interested applicants. The suspension of Coosa’s music program in the 2012-2013 school year (due to budget cuts), has contributed to a high demand for extra music activities.

Faculty, students and parents are excited for the return of the music program to the school. Mrs. Wheeler said, “I feel that music and its universal appeal is the ideal teaching medium to introduce both academic subjects and life skills, and I thank God daily that I am able to share music in the elementary classroom. I hope to supplement classroom teachers and the support networks of each child that enters my classroom, further developing a life-long love for learning and music.”

New state charter school gets busy planning for its first year With approval from the S.C. Public Charter School District granted in July, the organizers of the new Lowcountry Montessori School are enthusiastic about taking the next steps toward making the school a reality.

Committee members Amy Horn and Eve Fleming said the decision to start a start charter school was a big undertaking, but it is has been worth it for the opportunity to make a Montessori education available for more children.

Both Beaufortonians are working moms who believe passionately in the teaching style founded by Maria Montessori more than 100 years ago.

Horn, a teacher at E.C. Montessori on Lady’s Island, said the students learn from their peers and classrooms encourage educating the whole child.

“What I love most about Montessori is that it’s research based and allows children to tap into their own interests,” said Horn.

Fleming said the intense process of applying for the charter school was made possible by a dedicated group of parents, educators and community

artscape event The first fundraiser to support Lowcountry Montessori is ArtScape, which will be from October 25-27.

More than 40 artists from areas such as Charleston, Atlanta and Savannah will be featured at 802 Bay St. The Friday night soiree from 6 to 9 p.m. will display the range of items and guests can enjoy catering from Saltus and meeting many of the artists.

Tickets are $45 each, $80 for two. The event coincides with the Fall Tour of Homes and the downtown Art Walk.

There will also be a book signing Saturday by author Jonathan Miller.

members willing to contribute their diverse skills and talents for a common goal. The school’s mission statement says it hopes “to increase access to an authentic Montessori-based education in Beaufort and Jasper counties.”

Horn and Fleming said they have learned a lot from other local charter schools and hope to build on their experiences.

The school will serve children from first through ninth grade the first

year, and will grow to accommodate through high school.

Although the location is uncertain right now, the school is scheduled to open next fall. The school is currently looking for a director, as well as teachers.

They are also accepting applications for students and the lottery will start early next year. Interested parents can ask for enrollment forms at the Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal, Boys & Girls Clubs, day care facilities and at local branches of the Beaufort County Public library.

So many smiles are ahead of you. You can make those smiles lively, memorable ... younger. Dr. Stephen Durham offers you a lot of ways to do that, and to make that smile your own.

For instance, with ZOOM™ Whitening, you can brighten your smile, taking years off your appearance, faster than you’d imagine. Natural-looking implants can take the place of missing or damaged teeth. And non-slip dentures are a comfortable, attractive answer for some folks.

With advances in cosmetic dentistry, straightening teeth is so much easier these days. With a “smile makeover,” Dr. Stephen Durham can literally change crooked or misaligned teeth in just a few visits. Or you may want to consider the Six Month Smile TM, clear braces that will bring you results faster than you thought possible.

Dr. Stephen Durham makes the progress painless, too. You can even sleep through your appointment with sedation dentistry.

Just call the office of Dr. Stephen Durham and come in for an easy talk. We’ll help you choose your own way to a life lit up by your smile.

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

Party to kick off Short Story America Festival Beaufortonians certainly have a talent for wowing out-of-town guests, and the attendees to the Short Story America Festival this past weekend were no exception.

“I’ve never been to any town like this,” exclaimed one author. “Everyone is so friendly and smart and are genuinely interested in my work — even people that are not even attending the festival!” Tim Johnston welcomed visitors and local volunteers with a kick off reception at the start of the festival along with Mayor Billy Keyserling and thanked gracious hosts Gwen and Scott Myers who donated their lovely home on Bay Street for the event. Remember “The Twilight Zone” television series and its host Rod Serling? His daughter, author Anne Serling who has written a book about him, was there with her husband. She said her father was one of the funniest people she has ever known and was a great prankster. Interesting insight into a personality who seemed so serious on television.

Congrats to Tim and all the volunteers for pulling off such a great weekend festival for the fourth year in a row and introducing all these talented writers to our beautiful Beaufort. Here are some photos for you:

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

working on the rail trail community contributions sought for continuing construction of the spanish moss trail

By William Laney I remember the skepticism that met the original proposed 14 mile Spanish Moss Trail, the 12-foot wide walking and biking trail, which when complete will connect Port Royal, Beaufort, Burton, Grays Hill and Yemassee to the Whale Branch pier on the old Magnolia Rail line.

And, of course, when the trail’s model mile opened last year between Allison and Depot roads, people liked it so much that that skepticism switched immediately to an urgent, “When will this path be built longer and reach my neighborhood?”

Well, now the community has an opportunity to help make that a reality.

The next section to be developed (and needs your contributions to finish) will run from Parris Island Gateway to Laurel Bay Road at the Marine Corps Air Station.

If Beaufortonians can’t raise the money by that time, those matching “challenge” funds could possibly be lost. So it’s crucial that if you plan to do a taxdeductible donation, you make that contribution now. Someday you will be able to ride your bike on this trail and tell your kids, “I built this.” For every tax-deductible dollar you give, it will be met with a 3:1 matching contribution.

“This is a fabulous opportunity for us to complete the first half of this trail much sooner than we ever envisioned,” said Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail Executive Director Dean Moss. “Every dollar you give is equivalent to more than a $3 contribution due to the generous challenge grants in place until Thanksgiving.”

A big community thank you goes to Jim and Sarah Kennedy, owners of Clarendon Plantation in Grays Hill. Jim, grandson of James M. Cox and Chairman of the James M. Cox Foundation is a nature enthusiast and supporter of trails all over the Atlanta area. To date, the Cox Foundation has become the leading patron of the Spanish Moss Trail — giving nearly $1.2 million for the development of the Spanish Moss Trail in lead gifts and challenge grants — including a $567,000 gift to construct the trail’s model mile and a $600,000 challenge grant for the 2.3 mile section currently under construction between Ribaut and Allison roads. The Cox Foundation has recently issued another challenge grant in the amount of $350,000 to develop the next section between Parris Island Gateway and Laurel Bay Road — extending the trail to the Marine Corps Air Station.

Along with this Cox Foundation challenge grant, corporate contributions include a $250,000 grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina

Tax-deductible contributions can be made to the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail (a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization) in the following ways: 1. Donate online: www.spanishmosstrail. com 2. Donate by check: made payable to Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail and mailed to: P.O. Box 401, Beaufort, SC 29901 3. Donor cards are available at the following Beaufort stores: Higher Ground (2121 Boundary St), Lowcountry Bicycles (102 Sea Island Pkwy, and Palmetto Running Company (207 West Street) 4. For more information, please visit www.spanishmosstrail.com or if you have any questions, please email Executive Director Dean Moss or Public Awareness Consultant Sissy Perryman: info@spanishmosstrail.com

Foundation in honor of John M. Trask, Jr. for his many years of service to their board of directors.

One of the largest private donations has been a $50,000 gift from the Keyserling family towards the Allison to Ribaut roads section being built right now. Mayor Billy Keyserling deserves a big thank you for taking a leadership role in fundraising and working very hard to make this happen for the community, according to Dean Moss.

Time is running out to meet the challenge of all those matching grants and you can personally add your name to the list of donors. Your gift will bring health, enjoyment with friends, and easy free access to the beauty of Beaufort’s incomparable marsh and water views to your children, friends and neighbors, and for all the generations to follow.

Donors who give or pledge by December 31, 2013, will be recognized in the following ways: • $1,000+, $2,500+ and $5,000+ will be recognized accordingly on a permanent plaque located at the beautifully restored Beaufort Depot.

• $10,000 or more will become members of the Albergotti Trestle Collaborative and will be honored on a special plaque located at the trail’s scenic Albergotti Trestle.

Power animals: The dog as totem

By Tracie Korol

There was a time when humanity recognized itself as a part of nature.

Dreaming and waking were inseparable realities; the natural and supernatural merged. People used images of nature to express this unity. Shamans, priests and priestesses were keepers of this sacred knowledge, tied to the rhythms and forces of invisible worlds. To them, every species and every aspect of its environment had the power to remind them of what to manifest in their own lives. Though these rituals and behaviors may seem primitive and silly to our rational modern minds, they may be no less powerful today. Each animal archetype has its own qualities and characteristics that are reflected through its behaviors and activities.

Native beliefs further explain that a totem animal is one that is with you for life, both in the physical and spiritual world. Though people may identify with different animal guides throughout their lifetimes, it is this one totem animal that acts as the main guardian spirit.

One way to understand dog power, in particular, is to look at how dogs were viewed in other cultures. Most Native American tribes had dogs as protection and as alarm systems. The Greeks symbolized the dog as Cerberus,

the three-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades — again, a protector. In India, the dog was a symbol of all caste systems, and to the early Christians, the dog was a watchful guardian (as in the sheepdog) and was an allegory for the priest (guardian of his flock).

Dogs are an integral part of my life.

When in company of others, the dog/s of the assembly usually find their way to my side, without coaxing. I have been accused of rubbing meat on my knees (I don’t, usually), that I must have been an alpha dog in a former life (perhaps), or that my totem is that of the dog (it isn’t, it’s the turtle). But because dogs are so important and present in my life, I incorporate dog power into my personal philosophy. Count yourself lucky if the dog is your personal totem.

The energies and lessons of the dog totem are naturally those that we find in the characteristics of earthly dogs.

Study your own dog, for instance. No doubt the characteristics of your dog include faithfulness, loyalty, care and attention to friends, comfort and fierce protection. Your dog is excited to see you when you return from work, he will pull himself out of a sound sleep to accompany you to the bathroom and he will ward off intruders even if it is only a squirrel.

People who naturally tend to carry dog medicine throughout their lives tend to be selfless individuals who often enjoy doing work that involves public service such as counseling, medical care or philanthropic work. Besides faithfulness and other compassionate characteristics, the energy of the dog totem also includes a playful, spontaneous and gregarious nature. Your dog is so ready to explore

the outside you have taking to spelling W-A-L-K in his presence. He’ll bring his stuffed bunny to share with you when you’ve had a bad day. He doesn’t hold a grudge even though you yelled at him for dumping the wastebasket, again.

He’s more in tune than you might think.

If the dog has come into your life as a totem, you might ask yourself some questions: • Do I need to work on being a more loving or forgiving person?

• Do I need to play a little more?

• Would I like to be a more social person or foster stronger friendships?

• Would I like to strengthen certain qualities within myself such as forgiveness, tolerance, courage or compassion?

• Do I need to be more protective of my territory?

Whether we admit it or not, the natural world is a community of plants, animals and humans. And dogs. We don’t have to believe all of the symbology and mythology of Nature, but by examining it (and our dogs), we can get in touch with a primal part of our existence. To learn from the animals, we must first be able to see them in a new way.

Time to tackle fall fashion

By Laura Trask

Fall fashion is to me what football season is to so many in our college-driven, sportsafreakish world — the signal to a softer, gentler season with all the excitement of game day. Fashion fans can get just as pumped up to find out who and what will define their winning season. We root just as hard for our favorite designers, in hopes that they will have created some good gear for us to sport for the next six months.

It is always important to remember that behind every successful game there are rules and guidelines (do’s and don’ts) to help us not only choose garments that flatter our figures, but also to help us make choices that play well within our budgets.

The first seasonal trend this fall seasonal is ...

Opposites Attract.

These combinations took a bit of getting used to for me because the opposites in this scenario are the simplest of pairings: black and white.

The hard part being that the white in this duo is not winter white or ivory but pure, stark, summery white.

When it is paired with black and fall/ winter fabrics (my favorite being leather), this white for winter thing works. Don’t

laura’s fashion file feel like you have to put away your white denim from this summer. But don’t pair them with your flouncy spring pieces.

Instead, do choose weather appropriate staples such as chunky knits and jackets. I especially like all the white textured, furry accents that make sense for autumn and winter, and make for very cozy nights.

When going for color this year ... Do remember emerald green.

I was so excited when I saw that emerald green was chosen as the top color of glammed up fashion for 2013 and was spotted all over the runways.

One reason I love this color is that it looks good on everyone and is such a sophisticated, grown-up way of getting away from black. Don’t ignore how great emerald green can look when paired with other jewel tones, such as garnet, amethyst and sapphire. Do look for different ways to incorporate this shade

into your wardrobe. A beautiful bag or high heels in this hue is like an exclamation point on your ensemble!

Do embrace classic prints.

By fall, we are sick of floral and kaleidoscope prints from spring. You will notice, however, that the florals have unfortunately not gone away, but have just been supersized into behemoth caricatures of their warmer weather selves — not my favorite for fall. One trend I am a huge fan of is houndstooth, which has been brought back as the outstanding leader of the fall classic patterns. Don’t shy away from this usually male identified fashion choice,

since another fall trend this year is a more tailored cut, not just in suits but dresses, skirts, etc. Do remember houndstooth when you want to lend a chic, professional touch to your outfit.

Do pick and choose which of these fall fashion trends is right for you. Don’t think that you have to spend a fortune to update your wardrobe. Remember to play smart when you are playing the fashion game, but do play to win!

arts the met opera: live in hd at the uscb center for the arts

A preview of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Eugene Onegin’

By Alan Schuster

Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” will be performed by The Met Opera: Live in HD at the USCB Center for the Arts, Saturday, October 5, 12:55 p.m.

First, three things worth noting about this opera. Yes, it will be sung in Russian, although the sonority and the flow of the lyrics soon become almost as agreeable to the ear as one performed in Italian or French. Second, if you compare Tchaikovsky’s style of composition to any other opera composer, it would have to be that of Verdi, particularly in their orchestrations. And third, it’s pronounced “own-yeag-in,” not “one-gin.”

Based on Alexander Pushkin’s narrative poem of the same name, “Eugene Onegin” debuted in Moscow in 1881. After a cool reception in which many of his contemporaries ridiculed him for writing “romantic Westernized music,” the opera went on to gain considerable appeal throughout Europe. No doubt much of its success was due to the pathetic quality of Pushkin’s story that Tchaikovsky was able to express so beautifully in his artistic and emotional music.

Act I: An estate in Russia. Madame Larina and her nurse are chatting in her garden. Nearby, her two daughters, Tatiana and Olga, are singing to celebrate the end

coming next: the comic satire ‘the nose’ Why not an opera about a nose? It’s a story about a major who loses his nose while getting a shave. The barber finds it the next morning and throws it away. In the next scene, the Major wakes up and finds he has no nose. He goes outside and sees his nose dressed up like an important person. [Keep reading. Just two more sentences.]. Soon the police, a witch and townspeople become involved in trying to capture the elusive schnoz. In the final scene, the Major gets his nose back and proudly walks around town showing it off. According to the British composer Gerard McBurney, “The Nose is one of Shostakovich’s greatest masterpieces, an electrifying tour de force of vocal acrobatics, wild instrumental colours and theatrical absurdity. The result is like an operatic version of Charlie Chaplin or Monty Python.” If true, opera fans will surely be russian to buy their tickets. Then again, maybe not. Who nose? The opera will be at USCB on October 26.

Marius Kwiechen is Eugene Onegin and Anna Netrebko is Tatiana.

of the harvest. Lenski, Olga’s fiance, arrives with his friend, Eugene Onegin. Onegin, an intelligent but egotistical young man, is introduced to Tatiana, who falls in love with him instantly. That evening, she writes him a long love letter, pleading that they should meet again. Although he comes to see her, he is polite but unresponsive to her infatuation.

Act II: At a party at Madame Larina’s home, Onegin dances with Tatiana, leading to gossip among the guests that they are in love. When he tries to deflect the comments by turning his attention to Olga, Lenski becomes jealous. The two men argue, and Lenski challenges Onegin to a duel. They meet the next morning and both men are hesitant to make the first move. But after the seconds load their pistols, Onegin fires the first shot and kills his friend.

Act III: St. Petersburg. Several years later at a ball held in the palace of Prince Gremin, Onegin is among the guests. He has recently returned from long journeys, which he took to try to forget his friend’s death. He unexpectedly encounters Tatiana, now married to the Prince, and this time he falls deeply in love with her.

She agrees to receive him the next day, where he implores her with his love. But she remains loyal to the prince, then rushes out of the room, leaving Onegin to cry out in utter despair.

Each of the three acts reveals the composer’s wide range of dramatic melodies as well as an ear for clever combinations of instruments. And there is no better example of these talents than in Tatiana’s marvelous Letter Scene when she struggles to make her love known to Onegin. It’s driven not only by a remarkably melodic theme, but also heightened by the composer’s use of nearly all of Pushkin’s dramatic narrative. Sir Denis Forman wrote that Tchaikovsky “could write big tunes to catch the public ear; he could orchestrate them brilliantly; and while he could write for ballet as could no one else, the true spirit of this melancholy man is to be found in the music of that long troubled night that led to Tatiana’s doom.”

The Met has gifted opera fans with a great one-two punch by casting Russian prima donna Anna Netrebko as Tatiana and Polish baritone Mariusz Kwiecien in the title role. In 2008, Playboy magazine called her the “sexiest singer in classical music.” In 2011, Kwiecien was praised for his “handsome voice and captivating stage presence” as Don Giovanni.

the indie film corner: ‘prince avalanche’ The Indie film “Prince Avalanche” will be showing at the USCB Center For the Arts on Monday, October 7 at 7 p.m. The film, directed by David Gordon Green and starring Emile Hirsch and Paul Rudd, is in English and is rated R. Driven by striking performances from Rudd and Hirsch, “Prince Avalanche” is an offbeat comedy about two men painting traffic lines on a desolate country highway

that’s been ravaged by wildfire. Against this dramatic setting, beautifully shot by frequent Green collaborator Tim Orr, the men bicker and joke with each other, eventually developing an unlikely friendship.

Funny, meditative and at times surreal, “Prince Avalanche” features a moving score

by Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo, and was loosely adapted from an Icelandic film called “Either Way.” It was an official

selection at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, the 2013 SXSW Film Festival and best director at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival.

USCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-5214145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Dr. David Arcus is chapel organist

and associate university organist at Duke University, where he participates in nearly 200 services and events annually. He holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the School of Music at Yale University, where he earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree. He has received awards in composition and improvisation competitions, and he is in demand as a solo recitalist, having performed throughout the United States, Europe, and Great Britain. He has also toured with the Duke Chapel Choir in Great Britain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Greece, Turkey, and China; and he has appeared as organist with the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra.

He has served on the faculties of St.

Mary’s School, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Arcus’ recitals have included premieres of new works by well- known composers such as Aaron Jay Kernis, Dan Locklair, and Marianne Ploger. He is frequently commissioned to write new works for organ and choir, and he is also active as clinician, teacher/lecturer, and conductor. In the summer of 2013, he presented a workshop on improvisation at the Southeast Regional Convention of the American Guild of Organists and was course organist for the Royal School of Church Music Carolinas Course. His compositions are published

by Concordia, Hinshaw, and Wayne Leupold Editions. His CD, The Organs of Duke Chapel, is on the Gothic label.

some 100 years apart, their last symphonies are among the most celebrated. Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, popularly known as “The London Symphony,” was composed in Vienna in 1795. Dvorak’s Symphony No.9, known as “The New World Symphony,” was composed in 1893 while he was living in America.

Must see destination: Normandy, France

By Connie Frenzel

Normandy, if not part of your travel plans, should be. Next year marks the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy by Allied Forces.

Monuments, museums, cemeteries and battle memorials pay tribute to the courage of the “Our Greatest Generation.” Picturesque villages and towns dot the Normandy coastline transforming it into a vast open-air museum with a wealth of historic battle sites. More than 25 museums dedicated to those that stormed the beaches, tell stories about D-Day and the Normandy Campaign. A visit to the American Cemetery will reinforce how precious life and freedom is.

After visiting the D-Day related sites, shift your focus to the food, wine and regional scenery. The foods of Normandy reflect its orchards, farms and 400 mile-long coastline.

Tour wineries and visit tasting rooms.

Foodies can enjoy culinary delights like Calvados brandy, heirloom produce, artisan cheeses and fruits de mer, found only in Normandy. Grand cathedrals and chateaus, thatched roofed cottages and half-timber buildings abound in

Normandy.

After visiting the sights of Paris, one can travel to Normandy by train, or organized tours.

One recommendation Connie is to explore Frenzel Normandy via the Seine River. Aboard an all-inclusive river cruise, most amenities, such as sightseeing, food and drinks, are included. Savor wines and foods only available in France as you travel through the heart of Normandy. Ships travel during the day to take in the scenery along the Seine and moor at charming centrally located village ports. Whether traveling alone, as a couple, or with family and friends, Normandy is an easy and must see France destination. If you are planning to visit Normandy next year, confirm your reservations now due to the popularity commemorating the 70th Anniversary of D-Day.

CODA commemorates Domestic Violence Awareness Month CODA (Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse) is holding a number of events open to the public this October for National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

CODA encourages the community to get involved and to learn more about the impact of domestic violence by attending these events: • The Clothesline Project, a display featuring T-shirts designed by domestic violence survivors, at the Beaufort, Hampton and Jasper county libraries during the month of October.

• Wedding Gown Project, a display featuring wedding dresses bearing witness to the fact that while many walk into marriage full of hope, the reality of domestic violence shatters their innocence. The dresses are adorned with the names of those who have died at the

hands of their partners in South Carolina from 2011-2012. These will be displayed in Hampton, Colleton and Jasper county courthouses during October.

• Beaufort High School football game Candlelight Vigil and Awareness Event (October 4 at 7:30 p.m.).

• Ridgeland/Hardeeville High School football game Candlelight Vigil and Awareness Event (October 25, 7:30 p.m.).

Whether we realize it or not, we all know someone who has experienced domestic violence. By attending these events, the community will show support for survivors, mourn those who have lost their lives and send a message that we must work together to stop domestic violence in the Lowcountry. Visit www. codalowcountry.org to learn more about domestic violence and CODA’s services.

This Halloween, banish the bathroom’s boogeymen Send Hair Terror To The Void.

Forever: Before you get down to the actual scrubbing, use your vacuum on the floor and (with the attachment) the shower curtain, even walls and the sink basin to pick up all those creepy stray bits of hair so they don’t cling to your microfiber cloth, mop or sponge.

The Perfect Spell for Soap Scum: Soap scum is a common foe, particularly for those with hard water. One way to keep it at bay is to use a squeegee from top to bottom on every surface of your shower’s interior (including curtain) every time the shower is used. If you are a squeegee slacker, wipe down the scum buildup with a slightly damp used

dryer sheet. It is both less toxic and less expensive than most purchased cleaners and it works great.

Dissolve Wicked Water Stains: For most bathroom surfaces, including porcelain, linoleum, stainless steel, aluminum and wallpaper, a solution of white vinegar and warm, sudsy water should wipe away hard water stains. On glass shower doors or the shower curtain, Merry Maids likes to use lemon oil.

The Best Trick For Grout: Vanquish grout grime with a wave of your magic wand, a.k.a. your steam cleaner attachment. It also works for getting into small crevices and hard-to-clean areas.

Toilet Trauma: Make sure you have

a good bowl brush — one with straight, not crushed, bristles and that is curved so that it can clean under the rim — and encourage everyone in the household to use it on an as-needed basis. We recommend at least one sweep with the

bowl brush a day. When you’re doing a full-on bathroom cleaning, as soon as you begin cleaning, spray the inside of the bowl with toilet cleaner or gel so that it has a chance to sanitize while you work on other things, then scrub with the brush later. Use a pumice stone on any stubborn rings.

Merry Maids of Beaufort is also hosting a Scariest Room in the House contest on their Facebook page from Oct. 1-30. Fans are asked to upload pictures of their scariest room, and they could win a free cleaning.

For more information, please contact Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843-5222777 or like them on Facebook.

Shrimp

will be able to participate in a shrimp heading competition and children in a shrimp peeling competition for various prizes.

The Sea Island Rotary Club will host its 5th annual Charity Shrimp Race, where 5,000 rubber floating shrimp will be dropped in the Beaufort River adjacent to Waterfront Park from a working shrimp boat. The shrimp will float naturally with the tide towards a finish line. The first 10 shrimp to cross the finish line share $5,000 in cash prizes and have a chance to win the $1 million grand prize.

“The principal goal of this event is to raise money for our local charities,” says Mike Mashke, club president.

“Our signature charities include: CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association), Hope Haven and various Rotary service projects. The Charity Shrimp Race is the world’s largest Shrimp Race and the primary annual fundraiser for the Sea Island Rotary Club. For the past several years we have been able to donate more than $50,000 annually toward charity,” says Mashke. “This is a wonderful way to help charity and maybe win something in return.”

A new addition this year is the debut of Jumbo the Shrimp, the zany mascot of the Charity Shrimp Race. For more information or to adopt your shrimp, visit www.rotaryshrimprace.com.

The mouth-watering appetizers make it hard to choose just one, so the Lunch Bunch opted for the Carolina Sampler. It includes a hefty portion of fried mushrooms — which can’t be beat dipped in their special remoulade sauce — Mozzarella cheese sticks, hand-battered chicken fingers and fried zucchini rounds on a bed of their famous Wing Chips.

wine

Hope is in your glass

By Celia Strong

Well, we have three new wines this week: two reds and a white. And each brings something above and beyond some wine and a good time and a possible buzz.

To start, I will introduce you to a new concept that is showing up in the wine world. All of us, over past years, have been to wine tastings that were held as fundraisers for one cause or another.

A wine tasting has always been a great way to get people together, give them something that they enjoy, get them a little relaxed (thanks to some heavyhanded pouring), talk casually about the “cause” of the tasting, and get them to donate some money somehow. In the last year or so, some producers have come up with the idea of making a wine, or wines, where some or all of the profits are earmarked for a cause.

Example? Some of us were able to take part in Folonari’s fundraising for ovarian cancer during the month of September.

Folonari gave, donated, all month, $0.50 cents from each bottle they sold of any of their wines to benefit research on ovarian cancer. When faced with a choice of one of their wines versus another company’s wine, the choice seemed obvious. So, Folonari probably sold a bit more total wine last month and they helped society at the same time.

Other wineries are also working with new ways of helping and “giving back” to their customers. Which takes us to Jake Kloberdanz. A resident of Manhattan Beach, in California, he had a 23-yearold friend who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Jake, feeling that he had to help, worked out giving 50 percent of the profits from his company.

And, in case you haven’t guessed, his company is a winery. Located in El Segundo, ONEHOPE was founded in June 2007. As of last year, ONEHOPE has sold 50,000 cases of wine and they have donated more than $1 million dollars since 2007. At ONEHOPE, each variety of grape, and the wine it makes, is designated for one particular charity.

Robert Mondavi, Jr. is the winemaker for these wine. Nice credentials.

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

So, now that we have an extra excuse to try our new wines this week — the more we drink the more we also help.

So, let’s look at our three wines. First, only because it’s the first one we got at the store and it seems easy enough to take them in that order, we have the ONEHOPE Zinfandel. This Zinfandel helps our troops and their families. This red wine was chosen for this particular cause because the variety is uniquely American. (I know it has an Italian heritage, but the wines it makes in California are especially American.)

A blend of Napa, Sonoma and Central Coast grapes, there is also a tiny bit of Syrah blended in. The wine is a deep red color and loaded with dark red and black fruit flavors (black cherries, plums, black raspberries). And it has a black pepper spiciness too. Its textures are juicy in your mouth and they hold the flavors and linger for a long time.

Perfect with pizza, barbecued ribs, leg of lamb. Hmmmm. Making me hungry. At $13.99.

Our second wine, also a red, is the ONEHOPE Pinot Noir. This wine is a more recent addition to the winery’s group, but it is partly the result of so many of their employees being animal lovers. This wine, partnered with the ASPCA, helps animals find permanent homes. Having been the recipient of many adopted pets, I am determined to like this wine. Again, a blend of grapes from the same three areas as the Zin, this Pinot Noir is delicate with lighter red fruit flavors — strawberries, cranberries, red cherries. The wine is aged for a short time in American oak barrels where it picks up some weight, some tannic structure and a bit of baking spice flavors. Lovely sipping Pinot, and it pairs well with seafood and poultry. At

“Are you tired of being treated like a number?”

Many wineries are working with new ways of helping and “giving back” to their customers. Jake Kloberdanz wanted to help a sick friend and worked out giving 50 percent of the profits from his winery and founded ONEHOPE in June 2007. $12.99.

ONEHOPE Chardonnay is last, but not least. Half the profits from this Chardonnay go to breast cancer prevention and early detection. And, for every eight cases sold, ONEHOPE donates a mammogram to a woman who can’t afford one. And, what about the wine? ONEHOPE Chardonnay is hand-crafted also from a blend of grapes from select Napa, Sonoma and Central Coast vineyards, like our other wines.

(It’s not like Robert Mondavi, Jr. doesn’t have any contacts to get good grapes when he wants to make a wine. With a cause like breast cancer prevention, or any of the others, taking the proceeds, he probably has no trouble getting what he needs.) This wine also has a small amount of Muscat and Chenin Blanc blended in. It is a pale straw gold color and has aromas of apple blossoms and honeysuckle. (Hello, Chenin Blanc.)

The flavors add in fresh pears with the

apples, and hints of oaky vanilla. This wine’s acidity is crisp and refreshing and it is medium bodied and dry. Try this wine with shellfish and poultry, light Asian flavors, fruit and cheese platters.

Jeez. Hungry again. Of particular interest, as we taste this wine, we might all remember October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. ONEHOPE wants to raise $100,000 dollars just this month! At $9.99.

And, now we have our three new wines. Each a good one, and each with and extra reason for us to drink them.

All these years, many wineries have done many wonderful things to support their consumers. Now, with ONEHOPE, we can all feel like we are helping too.

Because we are. All we have to do is think about these wines when we want a bottle. I know we’ve only mentioned three, but there are other flavors. But, let’s save them for another time. For now, sip, give and, above all, enjoy!

Are you tired of being treated like a number? Try banking with us.

We’re hometown people. We believe in first name friendly personal service with a hometown touch. When you bank with us you can count on professional financial service in a relaxed, yet friendly atmosphere. Stop in and see us today.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources.

The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
