Higher Ground changes owners

WHAT’S INSIDE?

The Pink Dolphin is here

by Wendy Pollitzer Despite the tough economic times, the former owners of Higher Ground, Ashley and Shelby Bishop, are pleased to introduce the store’s new proprietor, Tim Lovett.

Ashley and Shelby Bishop opened Higher Ground in 2004 in the old Greyhound Bus Station on Boundary Street. They built a popular rock climbing wall that they donated to the Wardle Family YMCA when they moved to their present location at 2121 Boundary St., Suite 101 in Beaufort Town Center in 2006.

Thomas McDermott-Post was 8 when his friend, Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, told him about the challenges of getting his community to forget their differences and work together during difficult times.

Thomas had an idea for the mayor that resulted in this wonderful, whimsical tale about what a special dolphin teaches her community.

Bill Dula,a sensational watercolorist, gives even more joy to the story with images of the Lowcountry.

The Pink Dolphin: About the book A very special pod of dolphins, all colors of the rainbow, inhabit the waters surrounding a beautiful, historic town. But it is the pink dolphin that holds a special place in the hearts of the local shrimpers, who often throw her treats and think that seeing her brings good luck. The pink dolphin likes the humans, but her colorful pod mates think she is foolish for being friends with people. They warn her that humans mean trouble and it is best to stick to those of your own kind.

STRAIGHT TALK

Realizing city vision takes planning City reallocates already budgeted financial resources to realize vision

O

ver the course of the past six months, I have referenced the city’s comprehensive plan that, unlike other plans, sets specific goals for growing the city from within and requiring certain tasks be completed within certain time frames.

I have also written about how the Beaufort City Council charged the Beaufort-Port Royal Joint Planning Commission and the City Redevelopment Commission with taking actions necessary to accomplish these lofty but accomplishable goals.

And in my last essay, I wrote about building our future through redevelopment based on the principles of our historic foundation through infill redevelopment and a form base code. A central downtown, surrounded by walkable neighborhoods, appropriate open spaces, civic spaces and institutions is, I believe, what we all want.

How do we get there without spending more of your hard earned taxes?

By reallocating already budgeted financial resources, City Council last week took yet another step by providing both Commissions with the tools they to implement what we have asked them to do.

While the City’s Redevelopment Commission will take the lead, working hand-in-hand with City Council and staff, they will be supported by a team of highly experienced and nationally recognized community development professionals including The Lawrence Group (which facilitated and wrote the city’s recent comprehensive plan) and a Beaufort firm, Metrocology, which is led by Demetri Baches.

Bringing outside expertise to provide hands-on redevelopment expertise will jump-start the critical process of transforming plans into action and eventually create the growth we need to sustain our little city.

With 300 years of lessons about what works and what doesn’t in city planning, we are setting a new course, one that organizes civic infrastructure with private sector development to build “civitas” — the complete city.

Beaufort’s Northwest Quadrant, named one of the nation’s “best old-house neighborhoods” by This Old House magazine, presents an example of what is taking place in one neighborhood and will be followed by others. Small businesses, professional services and neighbors are working with the city and residents to rejuvenate the once-blighted and previously neglected community. The downtown core needs this, as do some of the surrounding neighborhoods.

The next two years will complete the Beaufort Civic Master Plan and, after many years of inaction, implement the Redevelopment Commission’s

Beafort Mayor Billy Keyserling is always interested in hearing your thoughts and can be reached at billyk@islc.net

What we ask of you is to think big. Look at your neighborhood, and determine what, if any, issues need to be addressed. aggressive agenda.

The Civic Master Plan will establish principles and standards that all public and private development will follow. The team will identify and promote investment and reinvestment opportunities, block by block in each neighborhood throughout the entire city, not just one or two neighborhoods Each neighborhood has its history, unique character and physical attributes upon which we will respect, build upon and not destroy.

The Civic Master Plan will be visual and will give residents and businesses a clear picture of what is intended: expectations will be set, there should be less guessing about what works and what does not work and we will, in effect, have a tool to use to stimulate various development and/or redevelopment opportunities throughout Beaufort.

The annual expense of doing all this is equivalent to what the city already budgeted for its zoning administration team and consulting contracts. The existing zoning team and consultants will be folded into what will be called the new City Building Team and all will work side-by-side.

By reorganizing, reallocating and reprioritizing resources, we strive to keep the lid on spending while bringing essential resources to the table.

Planning for the future, and working with the private sector to build the future, is a key investment in Beaufort’s fourth century and beyond.

The Lawrence Group is a nationally recognized planning, design, development and project delivery firm headquartered in St. Louis with their regional office in Davidson, N.C., led

by Managing Principal Craig Lewis.

What we’re really doing is taking the vision plan created by the people of the city of Beaufort and turning it into an action plan of bricks and mortar and streets and redevelopment and reinvestment. All this, together, is what will keep Beaufort the vibrant, appealing city that has steered through 300 years of ups and downs.

www.yourislandnews.com

Metrocology is a Beaufort-based strategic planning and consulting firm led by Demetri Baches. Formerly a director with the internationally acclaimed planning and design firm, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ), based in Miami.

Both Lewis and Baches are certified by the American Planning Association and by the Congress for the New Urbanism, an organization that promotes walkable, mixeduse neighborhood development, sustainable communities and healthier living conditions. In addition, Lewis is a LEED accredited professional, meaning he helps buildings, developments and communities ensure a more sustainable future.

Parallel to the Redevelopment Commission’s work plan, the city is also planning a transition from its current conventional zoning practices to a form-based coding strategy over the next 18-24 months. This requires a complete re-tooling in administrative expertise and a block-level, detailed planning process to ensure success.

The form-based code effort is a partnership between Beaufort County, the Town of Port Royal and the city.

The Lawrence Group/Metrocology team will share its planning expertise in the new approach to zoning.

They have applied this in numerous communities throughout the world and also administer these codes for local communities.

To complete the work program, the Lawrence Group/Metrocology team will engage, manage, coordinate and employ a number of other local and regional consulting firms to participate in this team approach. The Beaufort area is blessed with a multitude of capable and experienced companies and individuals. It will be easy to draw on these community assets as required by the ambitious work program ahead.

What we ask of you is to think big. Look at your neighborhood and determine what are its positives and negatives. What, if anything is missing? What, if any, issues need to be addressed? When the team comes through to assess and strategize about the steps necessary to spur investment and/or improve matters, we need you to participate by voicing your suggestions and ideas. It’s that simple. Most of what needs to be done to re-energize our city involves having the confidence to re-energize ourselves. The rest involves individual and neighborhood involvement, innovative thinking and seasoned experience.

I am proud to say we have laid out the plans and it is time to go to work.

Fortunately, by reorganizing existing resources and being more efficient with those that remain, we are able to forge ahead to ensure the vibrant city we all deserve.

The history of Halloween candy

AWESOME NEW APP: BEAUFORT SC 365

By Lisa Anne Rentz History, diversity, nature and beauty — Beaufort has a lot of assets, and the new Beaufort SC 365 app brings them all together, into one little handheld device, for visitors and residents. This new app is a complete travel guide for iPhones, iPods, and iPads. It’s available in iTunes for $1.99, which equals great convenience for relocating military families, transplanting seniors and for potential tourists around the world daydreaming about their next vacation. The Beaufort SC 365 app helps people better navigate the back roads, festivals and historic sites of this wonderful destination. The app emphasizes the yearround quality of life, from Yemassee to Port Royal to downtown Beaufort to Fripp Island. The “Good to Knowâ€? section gives context to the tidal rivers, the Gullah people, Spanish moss, oysters and other Lowcountry intricacies. The 60 entries mapped in the downtown historic district amount to a great day or two or three of relishing this small but not sleepy town. The arts entries are comprehensive and cross-referenced, and the 870 photos are dramatic and fun: shrimp burgers hot out of the fryer; views from the lighthouse and the tower at the Sands; the black box theater at ARTworks; Amber von Harten holding a fresh catch; and the cover bears an expressive crow painted by Benton Lutz in Beaufort’s ďŹ ne outsider tradition. “This app is really a guide to the characters around here, the authentic, laid-back, positive characters that make walking down Bay Street, or going to a gallery opening, so much fun,â€? explained Lisa Rentz, the creator of the app. She partnered with Sutro Media in San Francisco to make it all happen. “I’m already working on the update, so I look forward to hearing what visitors and the Beaufort community think, and suggestions about who and what should be added.â€? People can see how the app works on two websites: http:// sutromedia.com/apps/Beaufort_ SC_365 for a catalog-style listing, and there’s a slideshow of screen shots here: http://bit.ly/ BeaufortSC365screenshotsÂ

Ever wonder why people pass out candy at Halloween? Let’s go back about 2,000 years‌.

The Celtic people and even the Egyptians and Chinese all practiced the celebration of summer’s end. It was very common for even young children to work in the ďŹ elds and as a reward they were given sweet bread and other treats during this time.

Later, around 1840, when the Irish came to America, they brought some Halloween traditions with them. The idea that “All Hallows Eve� be celebrated in the new country was an Irish tradition and the treats and costumes continued as a practice in the United States.

Legend has it that the poor would go “souling� or visiting homes to pray for the dead and in return they would be given food. Another tale spins that residents would leave their best food on their doorsteps to settle any “wandering spirits� in hopes that the spirits would leave the resident alone.

Early on, tricks began being played

by Halloween participants. It’s believed that the pranksters were probably quite a bit older than the spiderman or princess you may see coming to your door this Halloween. Yet another legend state that grand meals and delicious treats were left outside of the home to bribe or encourage the prankster to take the treat and forget the trick.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, it was the parents who got the scare when tainted candy began showing up. Because of education and awareness, the celebration has taken on a much safer and even healthier face than in its earlier years.

“How can I get more customers?�

Now little munchkins all over the United States sport their favorite characters once a year in hopes of bringing home a bag full of candy.

Most parents accompany their children to neighborhoods they know, local churches oer “Trunk or Treatâ€? and some people opt out of the trick or treat business all together and stick with fall festivals.

However you celebrate the end of summer and beginning of fall, here are a few tips to remember: Watch out for nut allergies. A lot of candy contains nuts or peanut butter. If you have a very young child you may not even be aware of the allergy. If your child has a severe nut allergy you will want to make sure that other children are not eating nut containing candy around him or her.

Keep pets away from Halloween candy. Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Most children are not aware of this and may think its really cute or funny to give Fido a bite of Hershey bar. Make sure the dog is put away when everyone is sorting out their stash.

Watch for choking hazards. Avoid giving the popular “dum dum� sucker to children under three years old. The sucker sticks gets soft, releasing the marble shaped sucker allowing for the

perfect choking opportunity. The same things goes for the sour balls and any other hard candy.

Check expiration date on chocolate.

If chocolate has a powdery look, called “bloom� or is very crumbly when it shouldn’t be, it is probably expired and needs to be thrown out. Expired chocolate can carry microbes that may make you sick.

To keep your child from getting a sugar rush (hyperactivity) that is almost always followed by a low (irritability or sluggishness) limit to a few pieces of candy a day. And give it to them after they have eaten something healthy as opposed to on an empty stomach. Try allowing the candy with a healthy snack instead of “as the snack�.

Apples slices with a small candy bar or a few gummies is better than the candy alone.

What to do with all that leftover candy? There are a few fun things you can do with Halloween candy!

Consider making treat bags for the holiday and let your child put some of the candy in each bag. Your child may also want to put one piece of candy on each holiday gift they wrap this year. Another great idea is to let your child paint a glass container, ďŹ ll it with candy, and give it as a gift to teachers or grandparents.

Where Will Your Money Go? Do you know who the beneďŹ ciary is on your qualiďŹ ed retirement plan? Have you updated your beneďŹ ciaries to reect a recent birth or death in your family? Do you have someone listed who is no longer a part of your life because of a divorce?

It is a common misconception that if you have changed your will to reect life changes, the person(s) newly named to receive your assets will also receive the distributions from your qualiďŹ ed retirement plans. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

In order for your retirement assets to be distributed according to your wishes, a beneďŹ ciary designation form is required for all of your qualiďŹ ed retirement accounts. It is a basic form that simply asks who is to inherit the money in the plan and how is it to be distributed. Your signature, on this form, acts as your authorization.

The beneďŹ ciary form oers the ability to name one or many individuals as recipients, as well as contingency designations. Additionally, you will determine the percentage of your account that each person is to receive.

Selecting your beneďŹ ciaries can be challenging, both emotionally and ďŹ nancially and your beneďŹ ciary designation paperwork is an integral part of your estate planning. For these reasons, we would like to meet with you to review your current paperwork, make any necessary changes, and ensure that your legacy is preserved.

THE ISLAND CHARITIES 10K & 5K RACE

For most of the past 20 years, St. Helena Island native Alvina “Sue” Cleveland Gadson has gotten up with the chickens to begin her school bus routes delivering students to Beaufort County schools.

But during her days off, Gadson, the mother of six and the Immediate Past President of the PTO at St. Helena Elementary School, is pursuing a much loftier goal: Winning a chance to become America’s next Gospel music recording sensation.

“It’s all for the glory of God. This is the gift that God gave to me. And I want to use it to give back to my community,” says Gadson, who’ll be among the numerous contestants competing in the next round of Crazy Praise Live on Saturday, Oct. 23, in Savannah.

Crazy Praise Live is a highlypublicized, talent showcase competition similar to the popular weekly Black Entertainment Network broadcast known as Sunday Best. It was founded

by World Gospel, Inc. of Orlando, Florida, which is headed by David Michaels Entertainment.

Crazy Praise Live audition competitions are open to singers and choirs rappers, poets, bands, musicians, dancers, and comedians. Contestants will be judged on their performances, crowd participation, and stage presence, according to the talent show’s website, CrazyPraiseLive.com. And audience participation weighs heavily upon the final decision made by the judges.

“I’m so excited,” commented Gadson, 43, whose enchanting soprano/alto voice

captured her a slot for the next round of Crazy Praise Live competition during auditions held at the Savannah Civic Center on Sept. 18. “I’m just rehearsing, getting ready . . . and praying while I’m trying to stay focused.”

The winner of the upcoming Savannah Crazy Praise Live competition, which will be held at Savannah State University’s King Frazier Student Union Building at 3 p.m., will advance to the Grand Prize competition at the 2011 PowerFest Orlando. Gadson plans to give it her best shot — while continuing to work for Durham School Services.

Gadson is selling $20 tickets to Crazy Praise Live to boost the number of her enthusiastic supporters in the audience.

“I need the support of my community to help me out,” observed Gadson, who grew up singing in the choir at St. Helena Island’s Adams Street Baptist Church and graduated from Beaufort High School in 1985.

Providing the music for Gadson’s performance at SSU will be the band from the Family Worship Center.

Chief among the cheerleaders that Gadson can definitely depend upon is her tight-knit family. She’s the youngest of 14 children.

Gadson’s older sister, well-known community activist and businesswoman Pam Cleveland Coaxum, managed Gadson and their sister Georgetta Middleton, when they performed together as The Cleveland Sisters for about 15 years.

News Despite recession, Beaufort shows strong financial strength Facing less money to do more work, Beaufort’s government responded with innovative ways to improve and increase services while decreasing operating costs by $750,000.

Due to its out-of-the-box approaches, the city was also able to pay down substantial debt, complete a major storm water project without taking on new debt, and end the fiscal year in better financial shape than at the beginning of the year.

In his summary of the 2009-2010 Beaufort finances prepared for the Beaufort City Council, Mack Cook, the city’s finance director, saluted City Council and staff efforts to bring better service to residents with little extra funding.

“The city’s financial position continues to improve, which is nothing short of amazing considering the national recession,” Cook said.

“The city reduced its debt by $2.2 million, including retiring several years early $675,000 in outstanding loans, which saves taxpayers a lot of debt service payments in future years,” he said. “We are doing more with less, and we continue to work toward our goal of exceptional service.”

Among the encouraging signs: Building permits are up in 2010 compared to 2009, due in large part to better enforcement of permits for renovation work. Business license fees are stable — which is better than seeing them decrease, City Manager Scott Dadson noted.

Total “governmental and businesstype expenses” decreased $973,664, according to Cook’s report. Government expenses decreased $502,561 due to decreased personnel costs.

Expenses associated with businesstype activities (Solid Waste) decreased $438,488 after the privatization of the city solid waste and recycling operations, Cook said.

Much of what the city has been able to accomplish this past year started with the outsourcing of the residential solid waste and recycling to Waste Pro, he said. For fiscal year 2010, which ended June 30, the city’s solid waste operation netted $103,000 in positive cash flow.

That improvement comes even after the Solid Waste Fund repaid $178,000 in outstanding equipment loans and $55,000 in advances from the general fund. This compares to a loss in fiscal year 2009 from solid waste operations of $77,000, Cook said.

“Improving the Solid Waste Fund position let the city redirect money to enhance the appearance of our neighborhood, sidewalks, curbs and streets while building a reserve for the replacement of the roll carts and recycling bins,” Cook said.

Expanded services — made possible partly by outsourcing work to the private

“The city’s financial position continues to improve, which is nothing short of amazing considering the national recession ... The city reduced its debt by $2.2 million ... which saves taxpayers a lot of debt service payments in future years. We are doing more with less, and we continue to work toward our goal of exceptional service.”

Beaufort City Finance Director Mack Cook sector — include those increased efforts to clean up the city and to maintain parks and open space. Also, the city brought in outside experts to review police and fire department practices.

Over the past year, city staff, residents and volunteers collected more than 350 tons of debris from across the city, creating a more attractive community while also improving fire safety by removing all that flammable material, Dadson said.

The clean-up was possible through the dedication of several neighborhood associations, residents and volunteers, city staff and the efforts of Waste Pro, the company that provides garbage, trash and recycling collection.

Pro-active, prevention-based efforts by the Beaufort Fire Department and Beaufort Police Department earned “best practice” kudos from a recent comprehensive study conducted in 2009-2010 by the International City/ County Management Association for Beaufort.

Earlier this month, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron and Dadson shared plans to add to the fleet smaller, more versatile, maneuverable and efficient vehicles. The smaller trucks will bring firefighting capabilities but also will better serve the 66 percent of fire calls that actually involve medical emergencies and not fires, Dadson said.

Comprehensive, prevention-based efforts by the Beaufort police and fire departments help save lives and reduce loss of property, the management association experts said. The reports addressed strengths of both departments as well as areas where improvement is needed.

“We brought ICMA and their experts in to take a close look at the services we provide in public safety, and to help us identify how we can make an already good thing better,” Dadson said. “The reports indicate we’ve made good progress but still have room to improve, and we now have a new road map for that improvement.”

BCEA JOINS FORMER STATE SUPERINTENDENT IN ENDORSING SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE EVANS The Beaufort County Education Association this week announced its support for Bill Evans, who is running for the District 7 seat on the School Board to represent Lady’s Island, Cat Island, Dataw Island and Pigeon Point.

The BCEA is comprised of local teachers and school administrators who are deeply involved in the daily work to improve teaching and learning.

“It means a lot to earn the endorsement of the Beaufort County Education Association,” Evans said. “These are people who know the business of education, and after considering the two candidates, they chose to support me. It’s gratifying that people I have worked with are endorsing me for the School Board.”

Former South Carolina State Superintendent of Education Dr. Barbara Nielsen, a Republican, earlier this month endorsed Evans. Evans, a retired high school principal and Beaufort County School District administrator who’s seen what works in local schools – and what doesn’t work – is campaigning to replace retiring Jim Bequette on the school board. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

“Dennis and I are proud to endorse Bill Evans,” former State Superintendent Barbara Nielsen and her husband said. “We have known Bill for over 25 years and have firsthand knowledge of his strong leadership; his grasp of important education issues; and his strong commitment of working to bring excellence to the students, parents and community members of Beaufort County.”

Dr. Neilsen served two four-year terms as South Carolina State Superintendent of Education.

She coordinated the development and passage of key legislation on education reform, including the Education Accountability Act of 1998, and helped establish the first statewide full-day kindergarten program in South Carolina. She also helped develop and pass legislation creating South Carolina’s first charter schools.

Among Evans’ other endorsements are Paige and Andy Lancaster, parents of a Lady’s Island Middle School Student. “I am proud of the Lancaster’s support because that’s really what I’ve been about as a school principal and a district administrator, and it’s what I’ll be about as a school board member – helping people, and especially helping parents, with the best education available for their children,” Evans said.

For more information about Evans and his candidacy, visit www.billevansschoolboard.com.

Remember to vote for Evans on Tuesday for School Board District 7.

There once was a little old man named Lou, who hated Halloween. Every year he would make his house the scariest, so no one would come up and ask for candy. As you can tell, Lou hated children! This year he was impressed by how good of a job he did making his house scary.

On Halloween day he went out to the store and bought everything he needed to have a restful night that night, such as popcorn, hot chocolate, soup, and soda. He was planning to lounge in his huge green chair and listen to everyone pass his house.

It was about 9 at night; Lou was about to go to bed, when he heard a faint knock on his door. Lou thought to himself, “That’s impossible; I made the house extremely frightening!�

Then it was quiet. About ďŹ ve minutes later he heard it again, the faint knocking of a child. He slowly crept to the door, terriďŹ ed. As he peered through the window he thought he heard someone giggling.

Of course, Lou was terriďŹ ed, but he thought to himself that he needed to man up and open the door. As he slowly opened the door, he almost had a heart attack.

No one was in sight. Then all of a sudden something popped up from behind a fake spider and yelled, “BOO!!� That was the last thing Lou saw and heard before he blacked out.

When Lou woke up he was on the couch. Was it a dream he thought? No, it couldn’t have been, it was too real! As he sauntered upstairs ready to get some sleep, he thought he heard a child giggling outside, but Lou put it out of his mind. Just as he was getting into his bed, a little kid was wondering how long he would have to stand outside before he could get some candy.

Middle school students get tough on bullying Lady’s Island Intermediate School and Lady’s Island Middle School are taking a stand against bullying this school year.

Through school-wide activities and classroom lessons, students are getting an earful on what bullying looks like and what they can do to put an end to it. During the first few weeks of school, the school counselors spent time in the classrooms talking to students about different forms of bullying and the best ways to stop bullying from happening in school. Students were shown short video clips called “webisodes” from the bullying prevention website www. stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov. This is a wonderful site for students and parents to learn more about bullying.

Getting students involved in the recognition and prevention of bullying helps to promote a safe environment at school. Students in Mr. Scott Shipsey’s Media Arts classes have created anti-

Eighth graders sign the anti-bullying banner.

Sixth-graders Allison Crowley and Marin Pelli also signed the banner.

bullying posters that are currently displayed all over the school. The posters serve as a constant reminder to students that bullying is not an acceptable behavior. On Wednesday, Oct. 20, all students participated in National Bullying Prevention Day by signing their name on an anti-bullying banner that will be displayed in the main hallway of

the school. Students signing the banner agreed to “take a stand” against bullying.

Fifth and sixth grade students were also introduced via YouTube to 13year old singer/songwriter, Hayley Reardon, who has written two songs about the issue. Hayley has joined forces with the National Center for Bullying Prevention’s project “Teens

Against Bullying” and can be a powerful voice for children and teens in our nation. Check out that website at www. teensagainstbullying.org.

There are other activities that will take place during the school year to remind students that treating each other with respect is expected at the school.

One of those events is National Mix It Up at Lunch Day which helps build relationships and promote tolerance.

Students are forced to move outside of their comfort zones on that day and sit with other students in the cafeteria.

Mix It Up at Lunch Day will occur on Tuesday, Nov. 9.

For more information on taking a stand against bullying, please contact your child’s school counselor. Lori Howell is the counselor for the fifth and sixth grade students. Dan Murphy is the counselor for the seventh and eighth grade students.

Lowcountry Social Diary

Beaufort’s fall social whirl I

’m sure you noticed the busy, busy last weekend we had with all the folks in town for Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Fall Tour of Homes and Artwalk on Saturday. I was able to tour Diane and Conway Ivy’s house on the Point, where they have put in a marvelous kitchen addition and gorgeous formal garden in the back.

A lot of the tourists I talked to on the tour were first timers to lovely Beaufort saying they usually go from Atlanta or Kentucky to the Gulf Coast, but the oil spill there sent them to us this year and they planned on visiting again. Kudos to all the many, many volunteers and people who opened their homes for this successful fundraiser.

The weather was perfect and also contributed that evening to the success of ‘Cheeseburgers in Paradise’ a fundraiser later that day for Friends of Caroline Hospice, originally conceived

by Kit Bruce from a fundraising

cookbook put together by friends of a former hospice patient who had loved that Jimmy Buffet song. The event was sold out and Worth Liipfert and Jason Ward’s electric banjo combo “Ban Jovi” did a great job playing to the packed crowd at Port Royal Marina as a big October moon rose over the Beaufort River right on cue. Many thanks to all the hard-working volunteers and people who bought tickets for this very worthy charity event.

Earlier, across town, Pat Conroy signed books with his Citadel basketball

Then Friday a reception for the opening of the wonderful art exhibition was held at the USCB galleries for painter Pat Whitehead, who is also an Old Point resident with husband Mike Whitehead. By the way, you might not know this, but Mike is a champion Beth Fischman, Betty Zimpfer, Pat world-class sailor and competes in those Whitehead, Kim Nichols, Laurie Reich. famous big sailing races in his native England every year Speaking of the Old Point, I heard a $3 million home there sold recently to a couple from Texas who plan to use it as a second home (I believe they have a lear jet for the commute), a good sign that at least the high-end homes are starting to sell again in Beaufort.

Wine & Food Memories of Napa U

Fi ne W

in e

Bill’s Q LI

& Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island and knows her stuff when it comes to the best spirits.

R O

Hello, hello, hello! I don’t know why but for whatever reason this week I’ve been thinking again about wines that I had out in Napa last month. I suspect that it’s because last month was much smoother for me than this month has been. I’m pretty sure that that’s how memories work, you know. Some event makes your mind go back to a better place and time than it’s in when you remember whatever it is. It’s your head trying to make you feel better when you don’t feel all that good in reality. For me, most of my memories seem to be tied in to wines and when and where I drank them. Psycho babble or not, I do like re-visiting wines I’ve loved before and making them into another, new memory for the future.

So, here I am, back in Napa, in my head at least, it’s 10 a.m., the fog is just starting to go away so that we can see all the beautiful vineyards, houses, hills of Napa around us. And we’re walking into Franciscan Oakville Estate Winery.

Franciscan’s wines started in 1975 with their Cabernet Sauvignon. This was, and still is, a uniquely made wine in that it’s style was based on using small lots of grapes, then blending them together to make a greater whole wine. Because of this beginning, for years Franciscan was always thought of for their red

wines — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and MagniďŹ cat, their blend of not only lots of grapes but dierent (Bordeaux) varieties as well. Success with this credo in their winemaking has made Franciscan a staple in the Napa wine industry for decades and a role model for others to emulate.

But, let’s move on to their white wines.

Just because they are probably better known for their reds doesn’t mean they can’t do great white wines also. This week I have re-visited the same two that we had in the Franciscan tasting room last month. I didn’t plan this, but one is perfect for everyday drinking (and I had it last Thursday night) and one is a very special, although more expensive bottle, that I had when I got home from work late Saturday night.

My weeknight bottle was Franciscan Sauvignon Blanc. (This wine has been

available at the winery for several years but has just recently become available to all of us here in South Carolina.) In case you hadn’t noticed by now, I drink a lot of Sauvignon Blancs just because for me they are easier to sip more of, and let’s face it, easy to sip is part of why we like the wines we like. We don’t always remember this, but Sauvignon Blanc is a grape that can make as many dierent and distinct styles of wine as chardonnay. It can range from the very dry, grapefruity wines of New Zealand, to the minerally, or gunmetal as they call it, of the Loire Valley, to light and clean versions from South Africa, Chile and Argentina, to the richer, sometimes very oaky wines of Napa. For me, Franciscan’s Sauvignon Blanc is sort of a blend of all of these styles. Which is part of why it was perfect for last Thursday night — all the best of Sauvignon Blanc avors and textures without any one distinct style.

Kudos to Franciscan because not only did they blend smaller lots for grapes, they used grapes from dierent parts of Napa and allowed those variations to shine through with just a hint of oak.

The wine is vibrant and subtle all at the same time. And for about $14 too!

But as great as my Thursday night bottle was, my Saturday night bottle was too. Franciscan Cuvee Sauvage

Chardonnay is the kind of wine that gets you through the week to Saturday night.

This wine was ďŹ rst made in 1987 and, at that time, caused a great stir in the Napa wine community because a new theory/ technique, for Napa at least, was used.

Still using their small lots of Chardonnay grapes, the new twist was using only the wild, native yeasts from the vineyards to ferment the wine. The use of wild, natural spores was the standard practice in Burgundy, France, but revolutionary in 1987 Napa. There is also a lot less control over the fermenting process with wild yeast so there is a risk taken and more work involved too. But the ďŹ rst vintage of Cuvee Sauvage Chardonnay, proved that Franciscan knew what they were doing.

The grapes for Cuvee Sauvage are chosen from Franciscan’s best lots/ vineyards in the cool Carneros area of Napa. There is really no other Chard from Napa that tastes quite like this one.

Price-wise, this wine is only $35.

There aren’t many Chardonnays that I would like with traditional holiday meals, but this one I would. I wouldn’t even care if it wasn’t the best turkey I ever had. I’m just not sure how I’d feel about sharing too much of this wine with others. They’d have to be really, really good friends!

Lunch Bunch

Getting the royal treatment at Royal Pines

By Wendy Pollitzer The Lunch Bunch traveled to the Lady’s Island Country Club in Royal Pines this week, and once again, we were treated like Lowcountry Queens. Lori WesterďŹ eld, events coordinator at Lady’s Island Country Club, invited us to enjoy the bar and grill’s casual cuisine.

We started with an entrÊe for the table to share, the club’s signature Crab Quiche. We were quite pleased with each bite of savory crabmeat, which exceedingly overpowered the egg and cheese favors. Needless to say, the quiche was gone in less than two rounds of the table.

Royal Pines Bar and Grill has the typical country club menu, perfect for a post round of golf meal or a girlfriends’ luncheon.

Elizabeth and Kim were in a soup and sandwich mood, each ordering a cup of the Tomato Bisque and thoroughly pleased with their selection. Kim paired her soup with a BLT on wheat and Sweet Potato Fries, while Elizabeth favored the Triple Melt Grilled Cheese with

Primordial Beginnings

Lands End

Reections

Alex Spencer and his

By Wendy Pollitzer

Reflections of Coosaw Point

A

few weeks ago, Anne Gallant introduced me to a friend of hers via Facebook. She described him as inspirational and naturally talented. She asked if I would meet him to possibly write a proďŹ le about him. So I did, and I can’t thank Anne enough for initiating my new friendship with this gem of a person, Alex Spencer.

Alex Spencer is an artist living in Coosaw Point. His photography of the natural landscape is breathtaking and thought provoking. He has the rare ability to capture the essence of life in a still photo.

And, fortunately, for Beaufort, Alex has compiled many of his photographs into a coee table book titled“Reections of Coosaw Point,â€? a place where Spencer insists that, “the grounds spoke to me here in a way that I can’t describe.â€?

The land, marsh and water surrounding Coosaw Point on Lady’s Island is the inspiration behind Spencer’s work; but it’s also his healing ground.

Spencer suers from a rare, long-term side eect of radiation treatment for colorectal cancer. Essentially, most of the nerves in Spencer’s pelvic area are damaged, which may slowly result in permanent organ failure. And the pain is tremendous.

He treats the pain medicinally, but the narcotics make him very sleepy and nauseated. It gets worse as the day grows longer.

But he continues to live each day alongside his amazing wife, Linda, and among the Spanish moss-covered live oaks, the ever changing green spartina

grass and the ebb and ow of the Coosaw River. “There is strong mojo here, kind of like the Red Rocks in Utah,â€? explains Spencer. “I’m a true tree hugger too. I actually hug trees. There is energy in plant life that yields peacefulness and serenity.â€?

Spencer’s physical and mental therapy for pain is his photography. And when you look at his work, you begin to understand not only his pain, but his joy as well.

One of his photos, “Primordial Beginnings� pictured above left, represents Alpha and Omega, everything that is new and old coming full circle.

And most of his photos of the horizon are that of sunrises, not sunsets. Most of us amateur psychologists would agree that his choice of beauty speaks volumes about his appreciation for life. The

beginning of a new day is a rebirth in the eyes of Alex Spencer.

And when you look at his photography, you’ll see what he sees.

And that’s all Spencer desires to share. “I want to share my feelings of nature. I want people to feel what I see and see what I feel.�

Spencer is as mellow as they come.

The energy he connects with in nature transcends the mainstream appreciation for the Lowcountry. He honestly speaks and listens to nature for spiritual healing, as all of us should.

advertise with us!

“Nature in its own way is an invisible population. We should never tire of it. When I used to travel the McTeer Bridge daily, I would look at the marsh and water for a new discovery.�

After I spoke with Spencer, I called a friend immediately to share my emotions, to somehow duplicate the positive energy I had just received. It’s nearly impossible to explain through dialogue the spatial energy you’ve just shared with another human or thing. It’s deďŹ nitely diďŹƒcult to transcribe it now.

But what I can describe about Alex Spencer is his yen for living. He maintains an order in his life through an understanding of every living thing around him. He expands his consciousness daily by exploring and wanting to gain knowledge. He gets thoroughly involved in each situation he’s apart of. He lives every day like it may be his last.

Recently Anne and Robert Gallant hosted a reception to showcase Spencer’s photography. It was a successful event, and Alex sold nearly two-thirds of all his framed work in addition to many pieces being sold several times via reprints.

You may still purchase his work by emailing him at artbyalex48@yahoo. com or calling him at 522-3948. And, if you get a chance to meet Alex, you’ll be reecting upon your conversation for days, in a very good way.

I know. It was three weeks ago when I met Alex, and I’m still feeling his positive energy. So thank you Alex for giving me inspiration. We all need it at dierent times in our lives; and you gave it to me when I needed it most. God Bless You.

News BEAUFORT REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Bureau awarded tourism grant

STUDENTS FIRST!

The Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Visitor & Convention Bureau was awarded an $110,640 Tourism Partnership Fund grant from the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. The fund is a competitive, matching-grant program that requires a 1-to-1 funding match by the VCB, which means the VCB will be implementing  a $220,000 marketing plan — all of which must be spent solely on promotion and advertising for the Beaufort, Port Royal and Sea Islands region. Grants were awarded to a select 22 organizations throughout South Carolina that scored a 92 or better and the grant award for the VCB represents 10 percent of the total $1.1 million funded throughout the entire state by the tourism department. The matching funds come from revenue generating marketing programs and funding the VCB receives as the designated marketing organization for Northern Beaufort County.  VCB Executive Director Bob Moquin

stated, “We are thrilled to have received this award from our partner, SCPRT and will utilize the funds to leverage our marketing campaign in October and will also be planning a campaign for the spring of 2011.� “We would like to thank SCPRT for the opportunity to partner with them to promote and market tourism, which is South Carolina’s number one industry.

The department deserves credit for recognizing that even in these diďŹƒcult economic times, it is vital that tourism promotion and advertising receive the proper funding, which contributes more than $9 billion in travel spending to the state and $1 billion to Beaufort County,â€? stated VCB Chairman Director Randall Burch, “Without these funds, our state and local accommodations and hospitality tax collections paid by visitors would decrease, which would ultimately result in increased property taxes for residents.â€? He added, “Bob Moquin’s 13-year experience in working with SCPRT will help us to strategically align the Beaufort area as a must-see destination within the state.â€?    Â

News BAA’s Beaufort Memorial show benefits community The 20th Annual Beaufort Art Association - Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation benefit and sale is now under way. Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend. Art is displayed in the Beaufort Memorial Hospital hallways adjacent to the registration lobby, around the corner from the main entrance reception desk.

The exhibit will run through Sunday, Dec. 12.

The Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation has been the fundraising arm of the hospital for the past 21 years and has been successful in raising vital funds needed for quality health care for the community. The BAA’s collaboration with the BMH Foundation raises funds for one of the foundation’s continuing projects, the Betty Mazarin Pharmaceutical Assistance Fund. The Beaufort Art Association receives no revenue from the exhibit. Participating artists agree to donate a minimum of 40 to 100 percent of each sale. The proceeds help to provide prescription medications to patients who are unable to pay for their medications when they are released from the hospital.

The Beaufort Art Association is a local, nonprofit organization fostering local art talent and art education. In existence for more than 30 years, the BAA members display in their local gallery at

BEAUFORT SINGERS HONOR JAZZ GREAT DIZZY GILLESPIE “Hello, my name is Dizzy Gillespie, and I’m from Cheraw, South Carolina.” These words became the opening line of jazz great Dizzy Gillespie as he traveled around the world entertaining audiences with his innovative music. The town of Cheraw has now for five years produced a jazz festival in Dizzy’s honor, called the South Carolina Jazz Festival. Known for their accomplished choral achievements, from classical to jazz, The Beaufort High School Voices performed three times at this year’s festival last weekend.

Dizzy Gillespie was one of the creators of a whole genre of jazz, called BeBop. This music emerged in the 1940’s, out of the swing tunes of the time. “Dizzy’s music has been a challenge for our singers to learn, but they have been up to the task,” says Voices Director Vic Varner. “With fast tempos and intricate melodies, this music can seem racing, nervous, and even fragmented. But it is exciting and beautiful, as well as an important phase in the evolution of the art of jazz.”

The Voices Winter Concert will be performed December 1 and 2 at The Arts Center at Beaufort High School. For information contact BHSVoices@ gmail. com or call 322-2173.

Dave Roever — To hell and back It’s been said, “War is hell.” If so, Dave Roever has been to hell and back.

Roever grew up in a loving, committed family in South Texas. The last thing on his mind was going to war. At the height of the Vietnam War, he received his draft notice. Having no desire to serve in the infantry, he joined the Navy and served as a river boat gunner in the elite Brown Water Black Beret in Vietnam.

Eight months into his tour of duty in Vietnam, Dave was burned beyond recognition when a phosphorous grenade he was poised to throw exploded in his hand. The ordeal left him hospitalized for 14 months, where he underwent numerous major surgeries. His survival and life are miraculous.

Today, with his humorous style, Dave Roever is enthusiastically received both nationally and internationally as a public speaker. He is a gifted communicator and speaks in a variety of settings including public schools, military installations, business, men’ s and youth conventions, etc. Dave is a frequent guest on national television talk shows. He established compassionate, ongoing missions work in Vietnam and is involved in other nations.

In every setting, Dave’s message is one of hope. Using his life as an

example, he addresses issues relevant to his audience and presents concrete solutions to life’ s problems.

Often drawing upon his war experiences of loneliness, peer Roever pressure, disfigurement and pain, as well as life’ s triumphs, Dave weaves a message of courage, commitment and survival that touches and transforms those who hear him.

The foundation of his hope is his faith, supported by the wholesome relationships with his parents, wife, children and grandchildren.

Thirty-four years after his injuries, the Department of the Navy corrected its oversight by awarding Dave his Purple Heart, along with several other service medals. Because of his wartime experience of service, injury and recovery, he is uniquely qualified to speak to the needs of military personnel.

He is called upon regularly to address troops on domestic military bases as well as those deployed in Iraq and other locations around the globe.

In May 2005, Dave was awarded an honorary doctor degree in recognition of his remarkable life and service.

Dave Roever is founder, chairman, and president of two non-profit corporations: Roever and Associates, and Roever Educational Assistance Programs based in Fort Worth, Texas.

Dave and his wife Brenda are cofounders of Eagles Summit Ranch near Westcliffe, Colo., where the couple will train wounded warriors, others from the U. S. military and talented young leaders in areas of specific focus such as public speaking, and marital and emotional recovery after devastating injury, helping them to fulfill their destinies.

Recently, Dave gave the closing message and prayer in Washington, D.C., at the Restoring Honor Rally with hosts Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.

Dave and Brenda are the parents of two adult children, Matt Roever and Kim Chapin, and grandparents of four grandchildren.

Friday, Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. Dave Roever will be the featured speaker at Community Bible Church of Beaufort’s annual Men’s Wildlife Supper. The evening features venison, wild pig, turkey and shrimp with side dishes and dessert. The event is open to men who are seeking a deeper relationship with God. Pre-registration is requested and is at cbcofbeaufort.org or by calling (843) 525-0089.

if “beware of dog” signs are posted.

Especially on Halloween, when visitors may be numerous and upsetting to the resident dog, make sure your dog does not have unsupervised access to visitors, nor they to him.

Resist the temptation to dress up the dog, unless you are absolutely certain that he won’t find it distressing. I have never met a dog that didn’t absolutely hate wearing a bunchy, hot costume.

While he may like the initial attention and squealing from his humans and be a very good sport for a while, most likely he will stress. Be sensitive to his comfort level. Never dress a dog in costumes that impair his vision or make it difficult for him to walk. As a rule of thumb, if your dog doesn’t normally wear a hat, glasses, antlers, hood, cape, wings or a crown every day, then he’ll probably be uncomfortable.

Get him a studded collar and tell him he’s dangerous. That’s usually enough dress-up for any dog.

Remember that dogs don’t grasp that Halloween is a holiday, and they may find mobs of noisy peculiarly dressed children genuinely frightening and traumatic. Be sensitive to your dog’s stress level and safety, and have a Happy Halloween!

Attention! Federal Workers If you have or wish to file a claim for work-related hearing loss with the U.S. Department of Labor - OWCP.

I got fired up because of our junior senator’s stubborn refusal to join Lindsey Graham in getting a vital $400,000 earmark for the port of Charleston. It’s the only way to fund the required study for deepening the harbor so it can serve large ships when the widening of the Panama Canal is completed in 2014.

Without this earmark, Sen. Graham told the Charleston Business Journal (Sept. 1, 2010), “This port could die and this state’s economy could be in a ditch forever.” He noted the Port is responsible for 260,800 jobs in South Carolina and $11.8 billion in wages.

I am a national leader in the hospitality industry, an independent business woman who believes in the democratic principles that have made our republic a great nation.

It’s time to balance our state’s representation with two senators who can work together for the people of South Carolina. For 38 years, Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings did just that in the Senate.

Write me in. I know the people of South Carolina. During my run of 300 PBS and Food Network cooking shows, I’ve been in your homes. You know I can put food on the table. With your help, my next recipe will be Cream Demint.
