“A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” By Pamela Brownstein
It was our first weekend in our new house in Mount Pleasant. With boxes piled everywhere, my husband, Daniel, and I sat on our screened-in porch and enjoyed listening to the sound of the rain falling last Thursday night. But then it started really pouring, so we moved inside.
He mentioned that Charleston County schools were closed the next day, Friday, Oct. 2, and that he also had off of work because of all the rain predicted to fall. I was oblivious to the weather as my energy was focused on unpacking, taking care of two rambunctious toddlers, and figuring RAIN continued on page 8

New ‘wayfinding’ signs are installed downtown New signs in downtown Beaufort will help visitors and locals alike find their way to shops, restaurants and parking. Installation of the easy-to-read signs began last Tuesday and should be completed shortly. “The idea is to help guide people, to help them explore downtown and know what might be around the next corner,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. “The wayfinding signs will help pedestrians, but they also point the way to parking lots.” The “wayfinding” signage is a joint effort of the City of Beaufort and Main Street Beaufort USA. The two split the approximate $30,000 cost. The project
was identified in Beaufort’s Civic Master Plan and also has been a priority with the Main Street merchants’ organization. The Beaufort Redevelopment Commission asked Main Street to take the lead with support from the city’s planning department. The project includes: signage from the Beaufort city limits to the downtown shopping district, directory signs in the historic downtown, a business directory at the West Street Plaza, and Waterfront Park signs with rules and regulations. “We are happy to see this project complete after more than a year of planning, and many more years of

Discussions loom about workforce housing challenges By Gloria Duryea
Beaufort County continues to receive recognition as one of the “best places to live.” One lesser known fact is that Beaufort is also one of the “most expensive places to live.” Last Thursday, October 1st, Coastal Community Foundation hosted a panel discussion around the lack of workforce housing in our area and what that means to our teachers, healthcare professionals, police officers, fire fighters, and our community as a whole. Fred S. Washington, Jr. served as moderator for the discussion and panelists included Rick Toomey and David Homyk, Beaufort Memorial Hospital; Dr. Jeff Moss, Beaufort County School District; and Fred Leyda, Beaufort County Human Services Alliance. Beaufort County School District and Beaufort Memorial Hospital, which experience annual turnover at rates of 12 and 20 percent, respectively, agree that the lack of safe, clean, affordable housing is a challenge when it comes to recruiting and retaining good employees. Mr. Homyk shared that half

of the hospital’s newest hires relocated here from somewhere else. “Probably the number one challenge in recruiting talent to come here is the cost of housing,” expressed Dr. Moss.

continued from page 1 and Atmospheric Administration, from Thursday to Sunday at 2 p.m., Beaufort got 5.63” while just up the road, Mount Pleasant got 24.23” total. Fabian said the festival started out with a “decent” turnout on Friday night but went downhill after that. She said of the nearly 200 runners registered for the 5K race, about half actually showed up Saturday morning to run in the rain. Given the forecast and safety of those either working at the festival or travelling to or from the festival, on
This year, the hourly wage needed to afford a two bedroom apartment in South Carolina is $14.57. To combat this cost, many folks take on a roommate or work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Or, they live outside the community in which they work. This lack of available housing means worker fatigue, increase in gas costs, and our local economy takes a hit because if people aren’t living here, they aren’t spending here. There is some good news. Individuals and committees across Beaufort County are actively working on this challenge. Ideas include a “teacherage” (housing just for early career teachers), a “soft second mortgage” to help bridge the gap in affordability, and a “compassionate lending project” to provide traditional banking services to the unbanked/ underbanked population. I was inspired by the creativity, collaboration, and innovation shared between leaders in our community who were in the room last week. Beaufort County really is one of the “best places to live.” Saturday morning officials from both the City of Beaufort and Main Street Beaufort made the collective decision to cancel the event. Food vendors, already set up since Friday, had to take down their tents and cookers and call it day before it even got started, all the time dealing with constant light misting of rain or steady drizzle. The shrimp festival is one of the largest fund raisers for Main Street Beaufort. “It’s too soon to tell” how much of loss it will be but “it’s definitely going to be a loss, not just for us but for others as well”, she said. “Given all the planning that goes into such an event, there is no way to reschedule it for this year. We will just start on plans for 2016.”

Announcing the launch of BlackButterFly – The Christina Ryan Henegar Foundation Christina Ryan Henegar left a legacy of goodwill through her charitable contributions and the children she encountered. She had a devotion to her community and a passion for the arts. Despite her world travels, she called Beaufort home and refused to turn her back on the community that had given her so much. It was Christina’s belief that a positive mental attitude would foster a higher selfesteem, which in turn would stimulate a child’s growth and development along with giving them a sense of security. That’s why we took the time to develop a program and a plan. BlackButterFly - The Christina Ryan Henegar Foundation is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation. Its goal is to achieve higher esteem in children through education, the arts, social, cultural instruction and experience that would not only benefit the community but would create a more compassionate, fulfilling
journey for the individual. Christina also believed every young person should have the opportunity to realize his or her dreams regardless of their economic status or any social or intellectual deficiency. CRHF has teams of experienced, vetted professionals who have agreed to volunteer their time and skills. The Foundation will be partnering with the Beaufort County Library, St. Helena branch along with ArtWorks Community Art Center, Theater and Gallery and the Larew Performing Arts Centre. These partners will allow the use of their facilities for most events and will be offering several classes and/or making available scholarships to the students through the Foundation. Numerous local businesses and individual entrepreneurs have also worked out arrangements with the Foundation for the students to receive scholarships or have their services provided at a reduced rate that the Foundation will
cover. The funds to pay for all activities will come from grants, donations and fund raisers. A recent impromptu yard sale netted the Foundation $423. All programs are funded by corporate and individual donations, grants, gifts and fundraising events. Classes will be offered in computer basic training, starting and managing a savings and checking account, etiquettehow to properly answer a telephone, when and where it is appropriate to use a cell phone, how to dress for every type of event imaginable, makeup, grooming, swimming and more. Gardening, housekeeping, and other basic skill classes will also be available. For the older students a local specialist has offered to teach a class on getting and maintaining good credit, how to apply for a mortgage and home and land ownership. Self-defense courses will be available along with dance, drama, vocal and instrument classes.
CRHF will assist students with scholarships, grants, student loans applications and every aspect of the most up- to- date financial aid available and how to apply for it. The students will also have the opportunity to attend events such as the opera, dance performances and plays. A spring trip to Washington, DC by train is in the works along with a visit to the White House. Most of the children in the area have been no further than Jacksonville, Florida or Charlotte, North Carolina. We want to show them there is a big world outside of Beaufort just waiting for them to come and explore. The Foundation hopes to give them the tools necessary for an extraordinary life experience. Our launch of the Foundation is Saturday, October 10, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at the USCB Performing Arts Center. There will be refreshments and live entertainment. The event is free and open to the public.
Beaufort Memorial Hospital recognized for preventing Readmissions In collaboration with a statewide transitional care program, Beaufort Memorial Hospital has been able to significantly reduce readmission of Medicare patients treated for acute myocardial infarction. The number of heart attack patients having to return for treatment within 30 days of discharge dropped 20 percent between 2014 and 2015, earning BMH recognition at a meeting in Columbia for participants of the program called Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Together (PART). Established in 2012 by the South Carolina Hospital Association, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, Health
Sciences South Carolina and The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence, PART provides educational resources to hospitals across the state, along with opportunities to share experiences, innovations and best practices. “Partnering together and connecting into the larger community is an innovative and effective approach that has proven successful,” said Lorri Gibbons, vice president for quality and patient safety at the South Carolina Hospital Association. “The PART program plays an important role in our overall goal to provide safe, high quality care for every patient.” At BMH, at-risk patients transitioning
from the hospital to home are monitored by a team of two health care professionals to ensure they are following their plan of care. Working in collaboration with physicians and specialists, the practitioners are able to intervene quickly; adjusting medication as needed should the patient’s health status change. Known as Bridge to Home, the hospital’s transitional care program originally targeted chronically ill patients with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia. This summer, BMH received a $287,000 grant from the South Carolina Hospital Research & Education Foundation to expanded Bridge
to Home to include all Medicare patients at high and moderate risk of readmission. Part of the funding is being used to develop a classification system that will help health care providers identify patients likely to be readmitted to the hospital based on their ability to care for themselves. Those at high risk will receive a follow-up phone call within 24 hours of discharge, a home visit by a health care professional within three days of discharge and a follow-up visit to their primary care provider or specialist within seven days of discharge. Moderate risk patients will receive a variation of the prescribed monitoring.

Shagging the night away in Beaufort
A silent auction and raffles were both big parts of the fundraiser.
Shaggers discuss their next move while trying to learn the Hurricane step.
By Bob Sofaly
Despite torrential rainfall, about 100 stalwart dancers got together from all over the state for a night of fundraising, dinner and dancing at The Shed in Port Royal last Saturday night. Event organizers said some dancers were unable make the trek to Beaufort including guest of honor and Shag Hall of Fame dancer Ellen Taylor of Edisto Island for whom the event was being held. “Ellen could not make it given the awful weather they are getting further up the coast,” according to Tommy O’Brien. “But the night was a big success as they raised more than $6,400 for the Ellen Taylor
Foundation for Junior Shaggers”, he said. Besides dinner and a silent auction there was to be a dance workshop put on by Taylor. “Since Ellen couldn’t make it, I filled in” O’Brien said. O’Brien gave instruction of an advanced dancing technique whereby “I verbally call a pattern or a combination of steps thereby making a new dance move. We called ours The Hurricane”. The intricate steps were rehearsed over and over again until everybody was doing “The Hurricane” while rain continued to pound the exterior of the old metal building adding to the appropriateness of the name of the new shag step.
Tommy O’Brien, center, with wife Sheri, coaches the dancers in not only the dance steps but how to call them to each other. O’Brien said a combination of dance steps can be invented by anybody in shag dancing.

continued from page 1 out how to get our cable and internet working after five days without service. We saw little rain Friday during the day; Daniel and I (as Northerners) even remarked how silly it was to have off from school because of some rain. But as evening neared, the skies opened up, and the rain came — hard and constant. When we woke up Saturday morning, it was still raining, but our house and neighborhood appeared fine, so I thought it would be no big deal to take the kids to Toddler Time at SkyZone (an indoor trampoline place) at 9 a.m. They needed to get some energy out. There are two ways to get there, which is basically across town, so I chose the closest route. I wasn’t even half a mile down Long Point Road — a frequently traveled and busy thoroughfare located off of Highway 17 — when I encountered a police car blocking the road and a giant sign “WATER ON ROAD.” I thought, ‘Hmm, that’s strange, but no biggie, I’ll just turn around and go the other way.’ It was coming down in buckets at this point, and when I turned down the road that leads to SkyZone — a twolane, well-paved road with no traffic lights that leads to a significant amount of businesses and commerce parks — I witnessed the effects of the deluge. The road was flooded in intervals, so that once I drove through one flooded area, it looked like safe travel on the other side, until I came to the second patch of water, this one much larger than the first, and then I started getting nervous. There was a fire truck coming from the
other direction and a car behind me, so I hesitated but kept going. Once I was in the middle of the water though, I thought for sure my Hyundai SUV wasn’t going to make it. A feeling of panic and terror swept through my body as I pictured stalling out in the middle of a flooded road with my kids in the back seat. But my car pulled through, even as the water splashing up on the sides almost reached our windows. As harrowing as that experience was, I thought that that had to be the worst of it. I foolishly drove through one more flooded area and realized conditions weren’t getting better. The kids, who were also freaked out, fully agreed that we needed to go home. My heart pounded as I drove back through the giant flooded area, but it was the only way out, and I did my best to steer my family to safety. Needless to say, I did not venture out in my car again for the next three days. I saw firsthand some dangerous flooding, and I can’t even imagine what it was like for mothers across South Carolina with young children watching the water rise into their homes or making the decision to evacuate with their families and leaving all their belongings and safety of home behind in order to survive. The Town of Mount Pleasant received more than 26 inches of rain in a fourday period, breaking all sorts of rainfall records. I felt lucky and elated to be safe inside the comfort of our new house after that scary ride — even as I faced a messy maze of stacked boxes and toys strewn all over the floor. I figure if our house and yard could weather a storm that comes around once every 1,000 years, it should be able to hold up the weight of our family for however long we are blessed to call it home.

We were born to be healthy: Part 2 of 7 By Alvin H. Danenberg, DDS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2012 that 47.2% of the US adult population had periodontitis, and the prevalence jumped to 70.1% for adults 65 years old and beyond. I am talking about periodontitis, which is the more advanced stage of gum disease where jawbone is being destroyed, and infection can spread throughout the body. The statistics would be even larger if I were talking about gingivitis, which is a reversible, more common, and early stage of gum disease. The study that was published was the most complete periodontal evaluation ever reported on a national scale. The facts are that periodontitis, gingivitis, and tooth decay have not always been a problem. If you take a much broader look, you will get a much clearer picture by going back to our primal ancestors. Our human species has been evolving for about 2.5 million years. Our primal ancestors did not have toothbrushes, or dental floss, or added-fluoride in their water supply. Obviously, they did not see a dentist every six months, yet they hardly ever had gum disease or tooth decay until about 10,000 years ago. What caused the prevalence of periodontitis to jump from practically 0% before 10,000 years ago to 70% today?
Dr. Alvin Danenberg, Periodontist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner & DDS, practices at Beaufort Family Dentistry and Bluffton Center for Dentistry. For more information, visit his website www.BeaufortFamilyDentist.com or call (843) 524-6363.
Researchers today have done some amazing things. They not only have uncovered skeletal remains of our Primal ancestors, but they also have developed DNA tests that can identify the types of bacteria in the ancient remnants of dental calculus. The dental remains from 20,000 to 10,000 years ago demonstrated minimal decay and minimal periodontitis, but there was much bacterial diversity in the dental calculus. Interestingly, these bacteria were not virulent and were in a state of homeostasis. Then, about 10,000 years ago, the dental remains began to demonstrate increasing signs of decay and alveolar bone loss. The bacteria became more virulent. About 170 years ago, the prevalence of these diseases exploded and the bacteria became skewed to very unhealthy types. The question
again is, “What Happens and Why?” Questioning what we think we know We really don’t know the entire etiology of tooth decay or periodontal disease or cardiovascular disease or any other chronic disease. We may have some ideas, but are they correct? “It ain’t so much the things we don’t know that get us into trouble. It’s the things we know that just ain’t so.” Josh Billings (Henry Wheeler Shaw), 19th Century humorist It is difficult to arrive at accurate answers because there is so much we don’t know. Sometimes, what we think we know gets redefined and proven wrong. And then, there is a vast amount that we don’t know that we don’t know! It’s not just in our genes. There is a science called Epigenetics. It is the study of environmental factors influencing our genetic expression. Over 90% of all chronic disease today is related to either what we put into our bodies that should not be ingested, or what we need to put into our bodies that we don’t. That is a very strong statement, and most of the medical profession does not know this or does not know its implications. The answers to the question “What happens and why?” lie in this concept.
Dr. Siegel first to offer Refractive Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery Dr. Mark S. Siegel, MD of Sea Island Ophthalmology was the first eye surgeon in the Northern Beaufort County area to begin offering ReLACS™, Refractive Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery, to his patients. “I have been performing cataract surgery in the local area for many years and am excited to begin offering the femtosecond laser for cataract removal. This new technology provides a more advanced manner by which to perform several steps of the procedure,” says Dr.
Siegel. “Adoption of this technology is a testament to our dedication to offering the most advanced technology as an option for the patients in our community.” The LenSx® femtosecond laser signifies a bold leap forward in cataract surgery by bringing image-guided computer precision to refractive cataract surgeons. The system performs surgery according to surgeon preferences, using focused laser pulses to create incisions in the lens capsule, crystalline lens and cornea. This
We the People By Susan Stone
This column has posted several articles written to help people realize their personal power…whether the conversation is around creating abundance, better health or peace of mind. What we think is what we experience…right? Let’s turn our attention to the big picture. How many people do you know who have to choose between food and medicine? How many people do you know who think they are being taken advantage of by the insurance companies, the cable companies and even the government? How can we maintain our power against those who appear to have all the power? We the People…allowed them into power and We the People can send them packing just as easily. Why do the same pharmaceuticals made in the USA cost a fraction in other countries? Because we allow it. Why do we pay too much for cable? Because we think we have no other choice. Why do we pay in to Social Security all of our working lives? So it will be there when we retire. The question of whether the money will STILL be there or not is ridiculous. The question really is,
results in treatments that are tailored to surgeon specifications and may deliver a remarkable degree of accuracy, thereby extending the surgeon’s expertise with laser precision.

will We the People hold them accountable and demand our own money back? Personally, I have no political alliances. My intention is not to highlight the fault of any party or organization for the way things are. The fact is, We the people have done this to ourselves. There really is no “they” to blame. We are “they”. To think that ANY party can save us from ourselves is naive. If we choose to place all of our power in others, we are left with none. What would happen if we kept it? What would happen if we decided to choose differently? What would happen if we stormed the castle (figuratively of course)? Yesterday, a headline captured my attention; All Hail Hungary: Country Bravely Destroys All Monsanto
GMO Corn – AGAIN. The word that struck me in the headline was, Bravely. Collectively, the people of Hungary have chosen to stand up to the Giant called Monsanto and ban GMO’s. Many European countries are following their example. In Demark grandmothers are going in to the fields and beating them down with their canes! Europeans aren’t afraid of corporate giants. They’ve been invaded, plundered and literally plagued with the unimaginable. They re-build and carry on. They have a sense of power that we Americans have not yet found. When my mother found out that Congress had given themselves yet another raise, she said she was going to take her bridge club to Washington and fire them all! I offered to drive them.
We could keep doing what we’re doing, but then we’ll keep getting what we’re getting. To expect a different result would be the definition of insanity. So what can one person do? The idea that we can’t do anything about (fill in the blank)…is just what the people who hold power want you to think. You have more power in your little hoola-hoop than you can imagine! You vote every day. We call it shopping, but it’s voting. We vote with our dollars to support this company or that product. You have a choice whether to give your money to a small business or a huge corporation. Every time you buy food, you have cast your vote. Every time you fill up, every time you buy a pair of socks, every cup of coffee is a vote. Not everyone has the drive, the time or the energy to storm the castles of this world. There is still important support work we can do from right where we are. Sending good vibes and keeping our focus on what we are doing “right” is more effective than you can imagine. Offering a prayer to those who are working toward common goals really helps. You make a difference. You always have!

Southern transplant brings new flavor to local hospital “In celebration or sorrow, we as humans come together around food.”
ERIC SAYERS HILTON HEAD, SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, EXECUTIVE CHEF
By Molly Ingram
My, how times have changed. Last time I was in a hospital, you got Jell-O served three ways. Today, at Beaufort Memorial, you simply pick up the phone and order whatever you like, however you want it, whenever you want it. Finally feeling better and craving an omelet at 3:30 p.m.

in the afternoon? No problem. Just call and request one with cheese and mushrooms. Seems more like room service in a nice hotel than standard patient food at our local hospital. Such are the changes Executive Chef Eric Sayers has instituted in his tenure at Beaufort Memorial. Try and name another hospital which has an
the island news | october 8-14 | www.yourislandnews.com
award winning, internationally trained chef leading their food preparation and delivery? Nope, I couldn’t think of one either. Chef Eric is from Southbury, CT just outside of Hartford. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, Chef Eric worked in several restaurants in CT and NY. But then came an opportunity to teach in Switzerland. “There, as an assistant teacher at the Swiss Hospitality Institute, I was immersed in Swiss culture, and living only minutes from the French border, I got to experience a second culture first hand as well. I learned a lot about European training, life and cooking.” It also opened his eyes to the bigger role food can play in our lives. After several years, Chef Eric headed back to the states and into a more traditional role as the Executive Chef at a restaurant near his home in Connecticut. But the winters finally got to him like they have with many of us southern transplants. So a road trip was planned that would traverse the east coast from Virginia to Florida. Two things happened while on the trip. The first was a simple stop at a gas station on Rt. 95 before he headed to Hilton Head to explore that area. Chef Eric walked into the gas station and was greeted with a heartfelt, “Hello” from the workers. This was such a different greeting than he was used to “up north” that the memory stuck with him. And secondly, while in Hilton Head, Chef Eric picked up a local paper to read about the community and came upon an ad for CQ’s restaurant that was looking for a new Executive Chef. Was it kismet? Who knows, but together it was enough to get Chef Eric to move to Hilton Head and work with CQ’s for the next 12 years. But there was a challenge lurking out there that called to Chef Eric. How can you change the image of hospital food to reflect the trend toward tasty, healthy fare? “Food is such an important part of so much of what we do. In celebration or sorrow, we as humans come together around food. It binds us; it is a common denominator between every race. I am honored to work with such a powerful substance and create dishes that not only
nourish our bodies but also comfort us and bring us joy.” I have to admit that I never thought of hospital food quite that way. Chef Eric has been at Beaufort Memorial for a little over 3 years now and in the cafeteria you come across multiple grains you can add to your salad, a ton of fresh fruit that really looks fresh, and kale and other legumes (a technical word I learned) as part of their regular meal selection. When asked what his biggest surprise was moving from a high end restaurant to a hospital kitchen, Chef Eric reflected, “There are so many more specialized diets I needed to understand – way beyond the typical gluten intolerant or a need to avoid all milk products. I really enjoy working with the Dietitians as I am very interested in the nutritional aspect of food and how it helps restore the body.” So his typical day starts at 6 a.m. and many times will last until 6 or 7 in the evening, what does Chef Eric do for fun? He cooks. He looks after his orchids which have become a small obsession with him, and he plays with his two dogs Derby and Hannah. When go goes out to eat, what kind of food is he looking for? With wife, Leslie, they head out for sushi or pizza. “Are you kidding? I LOVE pizza. I think I could eat it every day.” Why do I think a kale pizza might be in my future? Chef Eric is definitely leading the charge of changing that perception of bland and boring hospital food which is such a good thing. Plus, he is teaching in conjunction with the hospital’s LifeFit Wellness teams about how to make meals more enjoyable and healthy without sacrificing time and energy. So I will allow that you will still get Jell-O on occasion in the hospital. “It is just so easy for people to digest and there are ways to make it taste good. I promise!” I’m going to hold you to that Chef Eric if I ever end up staying overnight at Beaufort Memorial. And I am definitely ordering that omelet with lots of cheese, some mushrooms and kale if I must. But I am confident, I will still come away singing the praises of the kale and feeling better for it. Thanks Chef Eric for making a hospital stay less onerous. Now, about that omelet…

Pianist Thomas Pandolfi returns to the Lowcountry The South Carolina Lowcountry hides some remarkable artistic treasures hardly even guessed at beyond our coastal waters, salt marshes and maritime forests. Case in point: from October through March, you are invited to enjoy the Fripp Island Friends of Music’s annual concert series featuring world-class talent. On October 18th, piano virtuoso Thomas Pandolfi will open the 32nd season of transforming the tiny Beaufort Barrier Island into an “Island of Music.” No stranger to the Fripp Friends of Music stage, Pandolfi is back by overwhelming demand by his clamoring,
loyal Lowcountry fans. Pandolfi isn’t merely a Julliard-honed, internationally renowned, prize-winning Steinway artist. With his amazing skill, audience-engaging showmanship and pure joyful energy, mere “world-class” seems a poverty-stricken description; “solar system class” or “universe-class” might be closer to the truth, but you need to see for yourself. Pandolfi will perform his brand new, acclaimed show, “One Singular Night,” highlighting the timeless American music of George Gershwin and Marvin Hamlisch, promising an unforgettable evening’s entertainment!
Don’t miss this encore appearance of one of the finest pianists of this, or any other generation, when Thomas Pandolfi takes the Fripp Friends of Music stage, Sunday, October 18th, 5 p.m., Fripp Island Community Centre, 205 Tarpon Boulevard, Fripp Island. Tickets at the door; Adults $25/$10 Students. Cash or check, please. No advance sales.

Local artist to host student show at USCB Center for the Arts
Linda Sheppard, Featured Artist at the Beaufort Art Association Gallery in April - May, showcases students work Well-known local artist, Linda Sheppard, is showcasing her private art students who will be exhibiting their work during October at the USCB Performing Art Center. These students take lessons between two and six hours each week and work in a variety of media. Linda usually works on her own painting along with the student. She teaches competition, color theory, shapes, composition and values. The adult students usually come to work on their problem areas. Linda critiques their work and together the student and Linda decide on the areas that need strengthening. “I look at this side by side teaching as a way to share what I think about when I paint. I talk about what I am struggling with and ways I could correct the problems. Sometimes, the students critique me or suggest problems they see in my paintings. This give and take is valuable for both the student and me.” “Several years ago I decided to quit teaching classes and concentrate on teaching one on one. Students may take for a month to correct some area of their work that is ‘giving them fits’ or to learn a new skill or medium. Other students take a 3 or 4 hour lesson once a week for an extended time.” “The relationships I develop with my students are such a joy. I see them progress and gain confidence to paint on their own. Often I probably gain as much from them as they do from me.” Linda teaches in oil, pastel and watercolor as well as old master drawing techniques. The students in this exhibit are: Lina Boyd-Rochfort. Lina lives in England and spends time in the fall and spring at her Spring Island home. “Art has been an occasional hobby of mine over the years. Sadly, I was not allowed to take it up when you did, so I have spasmodically painted at home. Before leaving to live in France, I had started life classes, but that was disrupted by the move. On arriving at Spring Island around 22 years ago, I took a few workshops, but discontinued them as I prefer to paint people rather than landscapes. Recently, I asked Bonnie Mason if she knew of anyone who could teach me once a week, which would give me the incentive to continue painting. Thankfully, she gave me Linda’s name, for which I am very grateful. I just regret the number of years I have 14

wasted. Linda has been an enormous help, especially with regard to the use of color. I very much enjoy working with her.” Lina called Linda to help her with pastels and oils. Primarily, Lina likes to work on portraits and figures. She works with Linda once a week for 3 hours each week when she is in the area. She takes photos of her subjects or she finds pictures on the internet that interest her. Sometimes, Linda will work on the same subject and teaches her method of painting as they work alongside one another. Mike McNally. Mike originally met Linda when she gave a Power Point presentation about her art work to the Leadership Class in Beaufort. Later Mike came up to her during intermission of the Beaufort Orchestra and said, “You are going to teach me to paint people. I am a photographer and take great photographs.” Mike has worked on a few Old Master drawing techniques and enjoys pastels. Lately Mike has been painting people who inspire him. He painted a man who often seen on the streets of Beaufort. Nathaniel, the subject, will be so proud when he sees his portrait. Danielle Hamner. Linda first met Danielle at her home when she was invited for dinner. “Danielle showed me her sketch book and I knew she had some real interest in art and good talent. I offered to teach her. Danielle is a junior at Beaufort High School and is taking studio art. We have worked on Old Master drawing techniques,

pastels, and oils. She is very thoughtful and works hard. She wants to go to TCL for two years to study art and then finish her degree in arts education at USCB. We’ve been working together for two years.” Maris Staley. “Maris’ father was my urologist. He mentioned his daughter loved art. She is an 8th grader at Beaufort Academy. She has been working with me since January. She is active in sports and the children’s plays, but she finds time to do some very good art work. She soaks up everything I tell her. Most students copy one of the master portrait painters and then do their own work. Maris painted her dog in oil. We decided to do a creative painting. Instead of black hair, she painted each shape of hair with colorful darks. All the lights are painted with colorful lights instead of dark.” Al Leitch. “A fellow Beaufort Art Association member gave my business card to Al, who lives in Columbia, SC. He drives 3 hours each way to take a 6 hour art lesson each week! That is dedication. Al emailed me photographs of his work to critique and see if I would teach him. I could tell he was an engineer type. He painted every leaf. His paintings were good, but I suggested some areas we could work on to strengthen his work.” “In the months since we have been working together he has improved. His last painting was a street scene of Charleston. He took a number of photos of houses in the neighborhood, but made up his own street scene. He now paints shapes instead of individual leaves. His painting of boats at the Beaufort Marina stretched him as he worked on value and color changes to pull the eye throughout the painting. He is learning to make the necessary changes to create a strong painting instead of a copy of a photograph.” Lizanna Caroline Stone. “Lizanna is a junior at the University of South Carolina at Beaufort where she is the recipient of four academic art scholarships. She focused on drawing and ceramics while in high school. However, she had never worked with oil painting until she studied with me this past summer. This experience helped her prepare for her painting classes at USCB where she is majoring in Studio Art and Education. Lizanna loves painting the beautiful landscapes of the South Carolina Lowcountry and enjoys time with nature.”

Reading scores improve through United Way program According to results released in September, students in six Beaufort County schools and two Jasper County schools participating in the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Read Indeed (formerly Early Grade Reading) Program saw increases in the reading portion of their MAP and IStation test scores. In the most recent 2014-2015 school year, 99% of the 365 students enrolled in the program in six Beaufort County Schools increased their MAP test scores in reading. In that same time frame, 96% of the 96 students in Jasper County schools increased their IStation test scores in reading. Both MAP and IStation are state-approved standardized tests taken at the beginning and end of the school year to measure progress. Including the 180 pre-K students and 34 who did not finish the school year in the district, a total of 675 students were reached through the
Read Indeed Program this past year. “We have come to expect success from this program due to the hard work and collaborative effort of our volunteer tutors and their students, members of the Beaufort County School District and members of the Jasper County School District,” said Tina Gentry, United Way of the Lowcountry President and CEO. Now entering its fourth year, the Read Indeed Program has been successful in helping students increase their reading test scores each year. While success rates for students enrolled in the Read Indeed Program have never been lower than 95% for either school district, it has only reached the tip of the iceberg in terms of how many can be helped. “The need is there for even more students to benefit from our program,” said Bethany Marcinkowski, Director of Education Impact for United Way of

the Lowcountry. “Our statistics prove the program works, but we can only continue to reach students who need our help by adding volunteers.” On average, over 200 volunteers spend an hour each week tutoring over 400 children, meaning most tutors have at least 2 students with whom they work. An AmeriCorps grant received in 2013 and renewed for the past two years also means an additional force of over 20 AmeriCorps members serve as tutors in the program. Together, volunteers and members serve students at St. Helena Elementary, Shanklin Elementary, Hilton Head Creative Arts Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary, Hilton Head Early Childhood Center, Hardeeville Elementary and Ridgeland Elementary. The Read Indeed program was started in 2012 by United Way of the Lowcountry as an education initiative that
aligned with a United Way Worldwide emphasis on becoming a community impact organization. The specific goals of the program are to reduce by 50% the number of students dropping out of high school in Beaufort County and Jasper County, increase to 80% the number of students reading on grade level upon entering 4th grade in both counties, and enlist 600 volunteer tutors, mentors and readers for the program. The United Way of the Lowcountry’s Read Indeed Program employs curriculum approved by the South Carolina Department of Education. To increase capacity to serve, the need for more tutors for the 2015-2016 school year is ongoing. For more information or to volunteer, contact Bethany Marcinkowski, Director of Education Impact in the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Bluffton office at 843837-2000 or visit www.uwlowcountry.org.

To start the lesson, Beaufort Academy invited Trayle Kulshan, the author of the lesson, to speak with them via
Skype. Ms. Kulshan graduated from Beaufort High in the 1990’s and went on to study engineering at Clemson and geology at Stanford. After that, she joined the Peace Corps and led water supply projects for schools throughout Africa (mainly in the Congo) and even in Afghanistan. She is now a science teacher in Dubai. Her lesson on Sustainability was one of eight lessons chosen by UNICEF to be taught globally the week of September 26. Through the Skype call, Ms. Kulshan KidAd 2 told the BA students about herCarolinaAir time in humanitarian
aid and showed them a typical school in Africa. She challenged them to think about which school was more sustainable before they went back to their classrooms. Once students returned to their rooms, they completed the lesson on Sustainability that she wrote. Thousands of schools from around the world participated in this initiative.

schools BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
‘Sub Blitz’ to interview prospective substitute teachers is scheduled The Beaufort County School District has scheduled its third annual“Substitute Blitz” for Oct. 19, a day filled with dozens of interviews aimed at expanding the pool of available substitute teachers. Seventy-five substitutes were hired following last year’s “Sub Blitz.” The district’s ultimate goal is to maintain an available pool of more than 500 so principals can quickly call on substitutes who are qualified to teach in a broad range of subject areas and grade levels. “Our first two sub blitzes were extremely successful, and we have high hopes for this one,” said Alice Walton, the district’s Chief Administrative Services and Human Resources Officer. Walton said the number of substitutes available to work on short notice has decreased in recent years due to attrition. “Some retire, some move away and some complete the process required to become full-time certified classroom
teachers,” she said. During the Oct. 19 “blitz,” district master teachers, principals and assistant principals will interview prescreened applicants who also had to complete a writing exercise. Prescreened candidates selected to attend the “Sub Blitz” – and who successfully complete the interview process – will return later for orientation and training sessions before officially joining the substitute pool. Although South Carolina state rules require that substitute teachers have only a high school diploma, the Beaufort County School District requires a four-year college degree. Persons interested in working as substitutes should complete an application on the school district’s website (www. applitrack.com/beaufort/onlineapp). The deadline to apply is Monday, Oct. 12. For more information, contact Jessica Plemmons at 843-322-2337.
Students perform well on WorkKeys exams Beaufort County School District 11th-graders who took South Carolina’s first statewide administration of the increasing popular WorkKeys test outperformed students in other districts. Students who post qualifying scores earn “portable” certificates at the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum levels that can be used to qualify for good-paying jobs anywhere in the nation. Increasing numbers of businesses require job applicants to have WorkKeys certificates. Ninety percent of Beaufort County 11th-graders scored high enough during last spring’s first WorkKeys administration to earn a certificate, compared to 88 percent of 11th-graders statewide. Sixty-nine percent of Beaufort County 11th-graders earned a Silver certificate or higher, compared to 63 percent of 11th-graders statewide.

Among the district’s five high schools, Battery Creek High saw 86.2 percent of its 11th-graders score high enough to earn a certificate, along with 89.3 percent for Beaufort High, 94.3 percent for Bluffton High, 90.6 for Hilton Head Island High and 83.9 percent for Whale Branch Early College High. WorkKeys exams comprise three 45-minute tests: Applied Mathematics, Locating Information and Reading for Information. More than 50,000 11th-graders took the test statewide, including 1,187 from the Beaufort County School District. Beaufort County 11th-graders had higher mean scale scores on all three tests compared to average scores statewide, with the district’s statewide rankings on the three tests ranging from 13th to 16th out of 86 South Carolina school districts.

Bridges Prep receives $10 million loan for campus upgrade The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program this week approved a loan of almost $10 million to Bridges Preparatory School to build a new campus in downtown Beaufort. “We still have planning, engineering, traffic design and other studies to complete, along with stacks of paperwork – but our new Bridges Prep campus is on the way,” said Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors. This $9,990,000 loan will enable Bridges Prep to convert the Boundary Street campus into a new K-8 school; to buy additional property for future expansion; and to pay off the current note. The loan carries a maximum 3.625 percent interest rate and will provide the school with the means to reach Bridges’ goals for educational excellence, Matthews said.

Since then, enrollment has grown by 42 percent. For the upcoming school year, Bridges Prep will expand to ninth grade. A groundbreaking ceremony is expected later this winter or early spring, and construction should take about 18 months, said Bridges Prep board member Marty Miley. The USDA Rural Development loan has been in the works for several years and was part of the early brainstorming as a group of interested parents worked toward earning the state charter. “The dedication and teamwork in setting this plan in motion has been phe-
Five students named as Duke TIP Scholars from Beaufort Academy
Five Beaufort Academy seventh graders were named as Duke TIP Scholars. The Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) is a gifted education program based at Duke University. Its purpose is to identify gifted children and provide them and their parents the resources for them to reach their full educational potential. The
Beaufort Academy Scholars qualified by scoring at or above the 95th percentile on selected sections of designated standardized tests administered during the 6th or 5th grades. Congratulations Eagles!

nomenal, moving a process that started a few years ago into the final completion of this endeavor in the last nine months,” Matthews told the Bridges Prep staff and families. “Getting this loan has been a dream that began with the pursuit of our charter. We have had the ability to stand on many shoulders to get to the finish line and we wish to express heartfelt thanks to all those who helped us reach this financial milestone, including parents, teachers and staff, school administrators, USRDA representatives, and members of each of our school boards seated since we earned our state charter,” she said.
Already working on the project is the FWA Group, an architectural firm with a Hilton Head office and 50 years of experience designing schools. “This is a momentous occasion for Bridges Prep,” Matthews said. “From the time our school opened in 2013, we have increased enrollment by more than 40 percent and now we have the funding available to create a new campus.” As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition. Bridges Prep follows the Paideia principles of education: All children can learn and therefore they all deserve the same quality of schooling, not just the same quantity; and the quality of schooling to which they are entitled is what the wisest parents would wish for their own children, the best education for the best being the best education for all.
Beaufort Elementary School to celebrate International Walk to School Day in October 9th Beaufort Elementary School will be joining schools from around the world to celebrate International Walk to School Day on October 9, 2015. Students from Beaufort Elementary will be walking and rolling to school along with parents, teachers and Beaufort County and City Police. The event will begin at 7:45 a.m. with kids, parents and community leaders meeting at the Downtown Marina. At approximately 8:00 a.m. the walk will begin, led by a police escort. Other special activities associated with the walk include Safe Routes and Sammy Charm handouts. In South Carolina, over 200 schools are expected to participate with a variety of events, including walk to school and walk at school events at schools located where it is too far or unsafe to walk. Events are supported
by the South Carolina Safe Routes to School Resource Center, a federallyfunded project of the South Carolina Department of Transportation. Nationwide, International Walk to School Day is expected to be celebrated at over 4,000 events at participating schools. Walkers from the U.S. will join children and adults in 40 countries around the world. Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment and building connections between families, schools and the broader community. The event is being organized by Beaufort Elementary School, Beaufort Police and Safe Routes to School.
AP exam scores improve; 2015 seniors’ SAT scores decrease District students’ scores on Advanced Placement college exams continued to improve in 2015, the College Board reported. High school seniors’ average scores on SAT exams dipped slightly, but Beaufort County’s ranking relative to other districts improved. 2015 Advanced Placement exam results AP courses – and the accompanying College Board exams that demonstrate mastery of the course material – let students earn college credit while still in high school. Last school year, 50 percent of Beaufort County’s AP students scored 3 or better on the tests’ five-point scale, qualifying them for college credit. That was up slightly from 48 percent in 2010. District officials said they were encouraged by longterm increases in the numbers of district high school students taking AP courses. For the 2014-15 school year, 1,584 AP exams were taken compared to 1,288 in 2010. “It’s a very positive sign when more students take more difficult courses and their exam scores continue to improve,” Moss said. “That shows that our students and teachers and administrators are doing the right things.” Testing experts say that average scores tend to decrease when more students take the tests, but that hasn’t occurred in Beaufort County over the past five years.
Among local high schools over the past five years: · Battery Creek High increased the number of AP exams taken from 7 in 2010 to 102 in 2015. Forty percent scored high enough for college credit in 2015, up from zero percent five years ago. · Beaufort High increased the number of AP exams from 417 in 2010 to 607 in 2015. Thirty-nine percent scored high enough for college credit in 2015, compared to 28 percent in 2010. Statewide, the percentage of AP exams with scores of 3 or better was 57 percent, the same as last year but up from 55 percent in 2010. 2015 Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) results Average 2015 SAT scores for Beaufort County public school seniors decreased slightly, from 1,424 in 2014 to 1,422 in 2015. Looking at five-year trend data, Beaufort County public school students’ average SAT score is up six points, from 1,416 for 2010 seniors to 1,422. Average scores at two of the district’s three high schools declined. The highest score that a student can achieve is 2,400: · Battery Creek High’s average was 1,314, up from 1,280 last year (54 percent of seniors tested). · Beaufort High’s average was 1,451, down from 1,471
last year (63 percent of seniors tested). · Whale Branch Early College High’s average was 1,211, down from 1,246 last year (63 percent of seniors tested). Statewide, South Carolina’s overall 2015 state public school average decreased slightly, from 1,429 in 2014 to 1,428 in 2015. In terms of average scores for high school seniors, Beaufort County ranked 26th among the state’s 82 districts in 2015 compared to its 39th-place ranking among 85 districts in 2010. Beaufort County ranked fourth statewide in the percentage of 2015 seniors taking the SAT (68 percent), up from its ninth-place ranking in 2010 (59 percent). “Our guidance counselors make certain that students know the courses they need to complete before taking the SAT or ACT tests. Later this month, all district 10th-graders will take the preliminary SAT. Unlike the SAT, the PSAT provides extensive feedback on individual student performance. Chief Instructional Services Officer Dereck Rhoads said that careful review of those results would help teachers help individual students while also improving teachers’ own instructional practices.

The conspiratorial legacy of Charlton Ogburn By Bill Rauch
As we approach Edward de Vere’s 465th birthday, we approach also a reevaluation of the notable efforts of Beaufort’s Charlton Ogburn (1911-1998) to show that Stratford-on-Avon’s William Shakespeare did not write the epic works that are widely attributed to him. Consider, for example, that William Shakespeare of Stratford, a man of modest birth and a minor actor in the theaters of his time, left a dreary and confused Last Will and Testament that, contrary to the custom of writers at the time, made no mention of the rights to any intellectual property to be bequeathed, such as those to the 38 plays and 154 sonnets that are commonly attributed to his authorship and that are widely considered to be the greatest body of work from one hand yet written in the English language. Consider also that while Shakespeare’s plays demonstrate clearly their formally educated author’s close familiarity with northern Italian cities, the conduct of military affairs, the intrigues of courtiers, the way of life aboard contemporary sailing ships, the intricacies of the British Common Law, and a solid grounding in the Greek and Roman classics, Stratford’s William Shakespeare is known never to have traveled to Italy, never to have attended the Royal Court, never to have fought in war, never to have studied the classics, never to have boarded a sailing ship to go anywhere, nor to have ever even darkened the door to a courtroom. Yet we have all learned in school that the enigmatic man from Stratford-onAvon, the “Bard of Stratford-on-Avon,” is the author of this extraordinary body of work, and indeed the British town, Stratford-on-Avon, does a big business in memorializing William Shakespeare’s life and work. Moreover, the livelihoods of countless scholars (the “Stratfordians”) depend upon the Stratford man being “The Bard.” And if it were to be convincingly shown that he was not, theirs and millions more books chronicling various aspects of Renaissance literature would be bound for the dump. Yes, Shakespeare is a modern day industry, and in dollars and cents (and British Sterling) the annual stakes –

a.k.a. revenues -- are high indeed. Enter, in 1984, the dog in the Stratfordian manger: Charlton Ogburn of Beaufort, South Carolina, soldier, military intelligence officer, career diplomat, literary detective, blockbuster author of “The Mysterious William Shakespeare: The Myth and Reality,” and patron saint of the “anti-Stratfordians” who are called now the “Oxfordians.” Ogburn’s 912-page tome laid out the Stratford man as one who was unknown as a writer to his contemporaries, including his children. Ogburn exhaustively replaced him as The Bard with Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, who was said by his contemporaries to be the most gifted poet and playwright of his time even though no plays and only two poems are publicly attributed to him. In a meticulously researched passage Ogburn showed, for example, that de Vere spent a year in the very towns in northern Italy in which, for example, “The Merchant of Venice,” “Othello,” and “The Taming of the Shrew” are set. He showed also that de Vere faced the Spanish in the Netherlands as Commander of the Horse in 1585, studied law at one of England’s foremost legal academies and served in the British House of Lords – England’s premier lawmaking body at the time – for 40 years. Moreover, to get from his castle in the north of England to London, which he did frequently to
attend House of Lords meetings, it was necessary for de Vere to book passage regularly on commercial sailing ships. That’s not all. The two poems publicly attributed to de Vere, and written early in his life, resonate remarkably in the way of The Bard’s unmistakable voice. But how familiar was de Vere with the ways of courtiers? After his father died when he was 8 years-old, de Vere was raised by Lord Burghley, the consummate political operative of his time. Burghley, later known for his tight control over the Crown’s finances and intelligence services, would serve as Principal Secretary — or what we would call today “Chief of Staff ” — to “the virgin queen,” Elizabeth I, for most of her 44 year reign. When he came of age de Vere married Burghley’s daughter and throughout their lives they were regulars in the Royal Court where de Vere’s wellknown nickname was “Spear Shaker.” There’s more: familiar with the ways of the Royal Court indeed. The most substantial and spectacular scholarship offered by Oxfordians since Ogburn’s 1984 work has been contributed by Alan Tarica and can be readily viewed on his website at https://sites.google. com/site/eternitypromised/ . Tarica studied extensively the Bard’s 154 sonnets (first published in 1609 as a group, five years after de Vere’s death in 1604 and seven years prior to Shakespeare’s death in 1616) and discovered that if they are read in reverse order, that is from 154to-1, they constitute a series of entreaties from de Vere to Elizabeth I urging her to recognize their illegitimate son, the young man raised Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton. If Ogburn in his “Myth and Reality” explained powerfully the “what” but fell short a bit on the “why,” arguing accurately (but perhaps under the circumstances somewhat hollowly) that play-writing was widely-regarded as an activity too déclassé for Elizabethan noblemen to admit spending their precious time upon, Tarica has broken the “why” question wide open. His illegitimate son thesis reveals starkly the motive for the Crown’s resolve

to keep Edward de Vere and his work, no matter how brilliant, under the royal covers. Likewise there were compelling reasons for Elizabeth’s successor to the throne, her distant cousin King James I, the first of the Stewarts, to perpetuate the cover-up. Revealing Wriothesley as the Queen’s natural son and thus the true successor to the Tudor throne would have caused royal chaos, and most certainly a challenge to James’ right to rule as King of England. Those who consider all this implausible might remind themselves that the virgin queen’s father, Henry VIII, discarded with impunity five wives before himself dying a natural death as monarch while married to a sixth. Did William Shakespeare of Stratfordon-Avon – the son of a glove-maker and a bit part actor who happened to have a convenient surname – cooperate to the extent required in the royal scheme? Of course, say the Oxfordians. His choice was no choice: cooperate … or else. Who now doubts, as Charlton Ogburn argued thirty years ago, that de Vere was spectacularly positioned to describe in intimate detail the rivalries, illicit romances, glories, disappointments and other personal dramas of courtiers? Alan Tarica, speaking of Charlton Ogburn last week said, “While Charlton is not the most famous anti-Stratfordian, he is very arguably the most influential. I hope one day he receives the recognition he deserves.”
When Joaquin came to visit — we laughed By Lee Scott
There is an expression that goes something like this: “God laughs when Man makes plans”. He must have been in hysterics this past week watching people in the Caribbean and up and down the east coast. My husband and I had plans like many others. The dog sitter was in place, the car was packed, things were ready and then we saw the weather report. There was a tropical storm named Joaquin we were told that had a 70% chance of becoming a hurricane. We decided not to leave and just watch. I got on the phone notified the dog sitter, changed the “stop mail” notification, emptied the car and planned on more days at home. All over the east coast people started to watch. Then Joaquin became a hurri-

cane and everybody started to really pay attention. Weddings that were planned, church bazaars, birthday parties and vacations were all modified or put on hold. As we sat in our home and watched Joaquin hover over the Bahamas for days I thought of all those people on vacations and the cruise ships. There were over twenty-five thousand passengers on the
cruise ships that had to be diverted to other areas of the Caribbean. Those passengers were probably not the happiest people since the wind gusts were still pretty strong. And what about those honeymooners down in the Bahamas that planned on a relaxing week of sun and sand? My trip seemed insignificant when I thought of them and saw the post-
ponements and cancellations for church bazaars and other events that required months of work on the part of volunteers. Over and over again I heard we were lucky because Joaquin was avoiding a direct landfall, but for those of us who had been inundated with days of rain, the concern for flooding, trees down and electrical outages was still very real. Our ground was soft enough for us to be worried about some of our trees might come right out of the ground. Then I started to think about the employers and employees that were impacted. This weather event hit folk’s plans but their pocketbooks too. So instead of leaving on vacation, we went out shopping and ate out at restaurants and tried to support our local businesses. Sometimes, you just have to laugh with God.

Even your wine deserves a second chance By Celia Strong
Everyone deserves a second chance. Even if you’re a bottle of wine. I know that sounds a little strange, but this week’s wine is from a category that for years was not very popular. Then, as younger winemakers and new investors came into that area, the wines got better and better. And, wine travelers and critics, and plain people like us who like wine and trips, we all started to look at this group of wines and like them. For the first time. What are these wines? White Riojas. We have learned about many red Riojas together. And, we like them. Which is good, because eighty percent of Rioja wines are red. The problem with white Riojas has been in the past, that they were pretty much treated like the red wines. If barrel aging worked on the reds, then they used the same process on the whites. Remember the aging distinctions that we discussed with red Rioja? Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva? Remember, each legally must age a minimum amount of time in barrels and in its bottles before it could be sold? Well, white Riojas did not respond well to this aging. They ended up as darker colored and oxidized tasting. Even in Spain they were not popular. In time, as new wines became available from new sources around the world (like clean, crisp, fresh New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, for example), you can see that wine drinkers were not rushing to buy the older style white Riojas. Besides, the old-time style of aging their wines, the grape varieties used to make white Rioja needed to be studied more and worked with by innovative wine makers and growers - looking for ways to make their wines better and more appealing. The main white variety

is Viura. (In other regions, it is known as Macabeo. A name that I, for one, like to say better than “Viura.”) The first step in re-making white Riojas was to produces wines from Viura, but with no oak treatment at all. The wines were simple and inoffensive, but did not have the “zing” of a New Zealand. In 2007, the Consejo Regulator (a Spanish wine governing group) allowed Chardonnay and Verdejo (up to 49% total) to be added into white Rioja wines. Despite the good intentions behind this allowance, the producers of white Rioja basically objected to these changes. They were not happy to have to make their wines better by using “outsider” varieties. Or to have them tasting like all kinds of other wines. Thankfully, there were other grapes, native to their region, that they could use - Garnacha Blanca, Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Blanca, Malvasia and Turruntés (no connection to Argentine Torrontes). Each of these grapes does OK on its own, like Viura, but in a blend they can be great. Garnacha Blanca is the white Grenache of the Rhône area of southeastern France. Its wines have body, high acidity and apricot and peach and nut and floral flavors. Tempranillo Blanco, a mutation of Tempranillo Tinto, was discovered in 1988. It has good concentration, especially of stone fruit flavors, high
alcohol and intense aromas. Maturana Blanca is the oldest of these other varieties. It was first mentioned in print in 1622. It also has higher alcohol levels along with citrus fruit flavors, herbal notes and great complexity. Malvasia is a Mediterranean variety that is used to make both dry and sweet and everything in between wines. It adds layers of flavors and textures to its wines. And, finally, Turruntés is a lower alcohol variety with green and herbal notes in its wines. See - each may not be great on its own, but together they can all find new heights. The only problem still to solve is, if in actuality, white Riojas are getting better and, if we, the wine drinking public, are looking for them. And, this is where the second chance has to start. With us. This segues us right to this week’s white Rioja. The Baron de Ley Blanco. This wine is a blend of Viura and Malvasia. The grapes come from high altitude vineyards which are cooled by Atlantic Ocean breezes. This allows the grapes to ripen fully and still maintain their acidity. Our wine is pale yellow with faint hints of

The aromas are exotic - tropical fruits and flowers, with green herbs and dill. The flavors include stone fruits (peaches and apricots) with perfumy white flowers and a long, lingering, minerally, green finish. A perfect wine for food! All kinds of seafood - fried, in broth, broiled. White fish, shellfish, lobster. Poultry and pork dishes. Saffron. Olives and tapenade. Goat cheeses. Garlic. Gazpacho. Egg dishes and quiches. Rosemary. Oh, geez. Hungry and thirsty. Again. This is such hard work. Off I go to fill my glass. Your turn next. And remember that second chance. For $9.99. Enjoy.

Learn about all things pet related from medical to behavioral to just good ideas!
How do you choose the right dog food for your pet? By Dr. Parker T. Barker
I get this question a lot. And my answer is simple. It is very important to get the right dog food for me just as it’s important for you to eat the right things. There are healthy diets and unhealthy diets and you will have a happier pet if you give them the “good” food as opposed to the bad food. McDonalds for three meals a day, seven days a week, may taste good but isn’t the healthiest of diets. We are seeing a current trend that is fueled by owners to provide “natural” and “added vegetables” to the dog foods we choose. But that is based on what our owners are looking for themselves and it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is more nutritious for us. Dogs and cats have different nutritional needs than humans. Please keep that in mind as you do your research. In the US, there is very little government regulation of what is deemed ok to feed pets. As a responsible owner, you should start your search for a good food for Fido by reading the nutritional adequacy statement from the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) on the can or bag. This will insure the formula at least meets minimal nutritional requirements. But it is hardly the end of the research you need to do. And remember, there are dog foods out there that do not meet the nutritional guidelines set up by AAFCO. Definitions for ‘holistic,’ ‘organic,’ and ‘natural’ pet foods have not been established by AAFCO, so interpretation of what those words mean in terms of formula ingredients is left up to the manufacturer of the product. And their ad agencies. I believe that there is nothing you can buy in a can or a bag that is entirely natural, organic or holistic. The stuff is processed. How can it be ‘natural’? Marketing ploys are the mainstay of the pet food industry and they are very good at making you feel that by buying their new improved “natural” kibble, you have done your part in providing a nutritious and balanced food for your pet. That, my friend, is a bunch of hooey designed to assuage your conscience. Don’t get sucked in. Now having said that, how can you figure out what is good for old Fido that won’t break the bank? Most authorities

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.
on canine nutrition think it’s impossible to feed your pet a biologically appropriate, relatively natural diet from a can or bag unless you’re willing to spend a small fortune on grain-free formulas made with true human-grade ingredients. These brands are less than 10 percent of pet foods available on the market. They are hard to find and well beyond the budget of most pet owners. In fact, if you’re buying pet food made with true human-grade ingredients, you should be spending about three times as much as you would for a non-human grade formula. And even most of the highest quality commercial pet foods still contain additives, preservatives, flavor enhancers and/or extra fats, which hardly qualifies them as holistic, despite clever labeling. After all, they must be able to sit on a shelf for six months to a year after being manufactured, without growing mold. So how do you read a pet food label like a pro? As a general rule, the longer the ingredient list, the more potential for filling your pet full of “stuff ” that is biologically inappropriate, probably allergenic, and maybe toxic. There are many dog food recalls out there at the moment. You should check. The first listed ingredient on the can or bag is the one that is the predominant ingredient in the food. Look for meat, more meat, and more meat again. Way back, I was a carnivore that thrived on a diet based on meat. I don’t need carbs (aka. grains) and other stuff that are typically added to pet food. Grains are there because they’re cheaper than meat, and they hold the kibbled bits together. They aren’t added for the sake of proper nutrition for your meateating dog. The source and quality of protein in the formula is crucially important for your pet’s health. Look for whole food sources
the island news | october 8-14 | www.yourislandnews.com
at the very top of the ingredient list like ‘beef,’‘turkey,’‘lamb’ or ‘chicken’ -- one-word descriptions. Meat and fat ingredients should be identified by species (turkey, lamb, beef, fish, etc.). Avoid any formula that uses unidentified sources, described non-specifically as ‘meat,’ ‘animal’ or ‘poultry.’ The next ingredient of better quality foods will probably be a meat source followed by the word ‘meal.’ Meat meal (with the meat source identified, as in ‘chicken meal’ or‘turkey meal’) is considered a relatively high-quality protein source by processed pet food standards. Ingredients three and four should be vegetables (avoid corn, wheat or beet pulp) and unless the formula is grainfree, a whole grain source like brown rice. Avoid formulas with ‘grain fragments’ -these are non-nutritive fillers. Grain-free formulas will frequently use potatoes as the starch, which holds the food together during processing. Walk away from foods containing “byproducts” in any way shape or form as this may include a whole laundry list of totally unmentionable parts of animals none of us want to know about that are being put into the food. As that little old lady once said on TV, “parts is parts” and I couldn’t agree more. Avoid pet foods containing artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives, especially those known to be carcinogens. In dog food, these usually go by the names BHT, BHA, ethoxyquin and propyl gallate. When considering foods containing fish, look for manufacturer assurance on the label that states the formula contains NO artificial preservatives. Look for foods preserved with vitamins E and C, often called tocopherols. In addition, it’s also important to be aware of a labeling practice known as ‘splitting.’ Splitting occurs when different components of the same ingredient are listed separately on the label to improve the look of the ingredient list. For example, rice makes up 50 percent
of a formula and meat only 25 percent, it’s possible to list the rice as three or four individual ingredients all under 25 percent each, for example, brown rice, white rice, rice bran, and rice gluten meal. Listing the ingredient ‘rice’ in this manner allows the manufacturer to list the meat -- at 25 percent -- as the first ingredient. Sneaky but done all the time by pet food manufacturers. It is not easy decoding a label to determine the good food from the bad, but it can be done. Just keep doing your research and reading those labels and in the end, it will prove good for both of us. There are many websites out there purporting to be the “experts” on dog food and making recommendations as to which foods are the “good” ones. Some are really good and thorough and others are a little biased one way or another. So when you find a website you like that talks about the “best” dog food for Fido, do some additional research on what other people say about the website itself. Basically, check out the source of your information. WWW.Petfoodadvisor.com is probably the most read source for information but if you take a look at how others rate the site, you will find a mixed bag with some people recommending it and others are nay-sayers. Like with most things, my recommendation is to take everything you find on the Internet with a big grain of salt. Except for me of course. Nobody is paying me to say anything so you can take it as gospel from ol’ Dr. Barker!

What is Your risk tolerance? The most important thing to know about investing is that it involves risk. In fact, all investments carry some degree of risk. Even if you hide your money in a shoebox under the bed, there is still a risk that it might be stolen or that its value will decrease over time due to inflation. The best thing to do then is learn how to potentially minimize the risk, and make good judgments based on your individual risk tolerance. Here are some tips to help you identify your risk tolerance so you can make smart investment decisions. First, identify your investment goals. Do your goals include retirement, college funding, or a major purchase, such as a home? Then determine your time frame for each particular goal. Generally, the longer the time frame, the more risk the investment portfolio can absorb, because there is potentially more time to recover from the ups and downs of market cycles. That means that your age and the length of time
Owen K Hand CFP®
until your retirement might be a factor when you determine what types of investments to include in your portfolio. Time, however, is not the only indicator of your own personal risk tolerance. There are other important factors such as: your ability to tolerate stress, how much you worry about your finances, how much savings you need to have in the bank to feel comfortable, and how your financial decisions affect your family. Experts advise people to have at least six months worth of income on hand to tolerate cash flow emergencies like job loss or illness. When determining your risk tolerance for investing, the most important thing to consider is what is needed to keep your financial home safe. After that, your individual time frame can influence the decision of whether or not you can afford the investments with a little more risk.
