New section of Spanish Moss Trail now open An additional 2.5 miles of the Spanish Moss Trail – from Roseida to Poppy Hill Roads – is now open, bringing the Lowcountry a fully-connected, 9-mile trail from Port Royal to the communities north of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS). “This rails-to-trail greenway has become a recreational centerpiece for our community,” said Dean Moss, executive director of the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail

(FSMT). “With an 18-mile round trip experience, the recreational and commuting benefits of the Spanish Moss Trail are now being fully realized.” The new section of the trail provides a safe connection from MCAS to Beaufort’s downtown shopping, restaurants and Henry C. Chamber’s Waterfront Park. It also provides a safe route for the residential communities north of MCAS. This section also features a

view of the fighter plane display at the main entrance of MCAS and leaves the original railroad rightof-way, at several points, giving the path a more interesting route. The approximately 1-mile section from Poppy Hill to Clarendon Roads is still under construction. In the last year, an estimated 36,500 people explored the trail by bike or on foot. Its 10-phase master See TRAIL, page A7

More than 36,000 people have enjoyed the Spanish Moss Trail in the past year.

A huge crowd took advantage of gorgeous weather to enjoy the 22nd Annual Shrimp Festival at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park on Oct. 1. The Lowcountry event featured a run/ walk, local coastal cuisine, live music, contests and much more. In addition to the annual run and culinary competitions, the Sea Island Rotary Club's Annual Charity Shrimp Race provided spectators the opportunity to adopt one or more of its 5,000 rubber floating shrimp that were dropped into the Beaufort River. The rubber shrimp floated toward the finish line and the owners of the first 10 shrimp to finish shared $5,000 in cash prizes. “The Shrimp Race is a fun event for the club to present and for the spectators to watch,” said Paul Moore, Rotary Club president. “More importantly, the proceeds from the event go to support the Smile Mobile, our mobile dental clinic that will help the under-served population of Beaufort and Jasper County. “The proceeds from last year’s race are

helping to purchase equipment needed for the clinic, while proceeds from this year will allow us to begin operating the clinic. The goal of the Smile Mobile is to relieve the pain and suffering associated with ongoing dental problems; problems that can keep adults out of work or children out of school.” The Beaufort Shrimp Festival is produced by Main Street Beaufort, USA, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the South Carolina Shrimpers Association and multiple sponsors.

Veteran graduates from unique treatment program The first person graduated recently from Veterans Treatment Court, a unique program that seeks to help veterans with substance abuse and/or mental health issues who are caught up in the criminal justice system. Former Army Spc. German Batista, 52, of Hilton Head Island, successfully completed the

treatment court program over the course of 10 months. The Veterans Treatment Court assists combat veterans who have had brushes with the criminal justice system due to substance abuse and/or a mental health disorder. The three-phase program provides the treatment and structure they need to resume productive lives.

in 1986. Two years later, Batista enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a tactical helicopter repairman on Black Hawks. In 1991, Batista stepped on an IED while traveling in a convoy in Iraq. Shrapnel struck his legs, thighs and hands, resulting in lifelong physical and mental problems.

He earned a Purple Heart and two Bronze Stars for his bravery and combat heroism. He was honorably discharged from the military in 1996. His treatment team consisted of professionals from the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, the Veterans See VET, page A7

home at the time of the fire, but the family dog died.

A man wanted in a Hilton Head burglary was arrested by Savannah police at a downtown bus station.

Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office investigators attempted to locate Troxell Tommy Troxell at his last known address on the south end of Hilton Head Island and found he had left the area. However, following up on a lead provided by a concerned citizen, investigators determined Troxell was planning to leave the area via bus from the downtown Savannah Greyhound Station. At about 11 p.m. on Sept. 26, Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Department officers arrested Troxell at the bus station. There is no information on Troxell's extradition status as of Oct. 3.

Fire truck crashes on Parris Island Gateway

A Burton Fire District fire engine was involved in a minor accident on Parris Island Gateway on Sept. 30, resulting in two people being transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Burton firefighters were leaving a breast cancer awareness event on Parris Island when they noticed a motorist in distress on the side of the road. While the firefighters were en route to render aid to the disabled motorists, they were involved in a collision with a passenger vehicle, causing minor damages to both. Burton firefighters were uninjured in the accident and two people in the passenger vehicle were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. The fire engine involved in the accident is being inspected for serviceability and emergency responses by the Burton Fire District will not be interrupted.

Drinking water may have funny taste

The Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority, the Hilton Head Public Service District and Broad Creek Public Service District will temporarily change their drinking water treatment method and flush water lines throughout their service areas starting Friday, Oct. 14. Customers can use their water as normal, but may notice a slight chlorine taste or odor in the tap water through Friday, Oct. 28. The change is part of the routine maintenance program for the utilities’ water distribution systems. There will be no interruption in service as a result of the work. Customers in some areas may notice brief

discoloration in the tap water as a result of lines being flushed. If water appears discolored, customers should run cold water for a few minutes. If discoloration persists, customers can contact BJWSA at 843987-9200; HHPSD at 843-681-5525; or BCPSD at 843-785-7582. Customers who are especially sensitive to the taste and odor of chlorine should keep an open container of drinking water in their refrigerators. This will reduce the chlorine taste. Water stored in refrigerated containers should be changed weekly.

Wood duck boxes to be available

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with the S.C. State Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and the S.C. Department of Corrections, will continue the construction and distribution of wood duck boxes this winter. Applications are available online at www. dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/waterfowl/woodduck/ application.html and will be accepted until Tuesday, Nov. 1. About 1,000 boxes will be available for distribution. The wood duck is the most important waterfowl species in South Carolina and is the only duck whose breeding habitat can be managed effectively throughout all geographic regions of the state.

The project supplements natural production in tree cavities of forested wetlands by providing artificial nesting sites. Fewer natural cavities are available today because of the impacts of human activity upon bottomland hardwoods. For more information, contact the Statewide Wood Duck Box Project at 843-8448957.

Don’t let costume contact lenses haunt your vision

What are costume contact lenses? Costume contact lenses – also known as cosmetic or decorative contact lenses – are any type of contact lenses that are meant to change the appearance of your eyes. They include colored contacts, fashion lenses and lenses that can make your eyes look like vampires, animals or other characters. Websites often advertise colored contacts as if they were cosmetics, fashion accessories or toys. With whimsical packaging and names, their targets are often teens and young adults. The truth: Claims such as "one size fits all" and "no need to see an eye specialist" are misleading. Non-prescription contact lens sales are illegal. What's wrong with costume contact lenses? Contact lenses should not be thought of as fashion accessories or makeup – they are medical devices that require a prescription from an eye care professional. The eyes are one of the most delicate and important parts of the body, so what you put in and on them must be medically safe and FDA-approved. Many people buy these lenses to use as costume accessories to enhance their Halloween, and shops as well as online retailers actively market and advertise the lenses to innocent consumers unaware of the risks. These risks include dangerous infections that can lead to permanent vision loss and even require corneal transplants. This is why many ophthalmologists see a spike in patients coming to them with these types of injuries around Halloween. What damage can costume contact lenses cause? Non-prescription costume contacts can cause injuries such as cuts and open sores in the protective layer of the iris and pupil (cor-

neal abrasions and corneal ulcers) and potentially blinding painful bacterial infections (keratitis). These injuries can require serious eye surgeries such as corneal transplants, and in some cases lead to permanent vision loss. One study found that wearing costume contact lenses increased the risk for developing keratitis – a potentially blinding infection that causes an ulcer on the eye – by more than 16 times, compared to people who wear regular, corrective contacts. Unfortunately, 60 percent of patients who developed keratitis from wearing non-prescription costume contact lenses in this study suffered permanent vision loss. Novelty products, like circle lenses, are not FDA-approved. Circle lenses can be particularly harmful, because the lens covers more of the eye than regular corrective lenses, which makes it very difficult for necessary oxygen to get through to the eye. If you want your Halloween look to include cat, zombie or glow-in-the-dark eyes, or if you’d like to use lenses to change your eye color or appearance, get your costume contact lenses prescribed by an eye care professional. It’s crucial that your lenses fit properly, and your individual prescription can only be determined by an eye exam. Skipping this step and buying lenses online or over the counter can set you up for serious eye problems, infections or even permanent vision loss.

HEALTH BRIEFS Mack named fellow of healthcare executives

910 Port Republic St, Beaufort, SC

Lily & Lou's Children's Boutique 818 Bay Street, Beaufort, SC A6

OCTOBER 6 - 12, 2016

Megan Mack, an occupational therapist and manager of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s HealthLink for Children, recently became a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), the nation’s leading professional society for healthcare leaders. She joins an elite group of healthcare professionals in achieving this premier credential in healthcare management. Only 9,100 healthcare executives in the country hold the distinction. “Pursuit of Fellowship in ACHE is not a quick hop,” said Beaufort Memorial Senior Director Laurie Martin. “It is awarded only after years of dedicated learning, networking, community involvement and personal growth.” Mack began working at BMH in 2003 as an occupational therapy clinical intern

from Keuka College. She was hired by the hospital in 2004 after graduating from the Upstate New York school. While working full time at the hospital, she earned her Master’s in Megan Mack Healthcare Administration from New England College.

Public parking is located along the trail with rest area trailheads at Westvine Drive, Broome Lane, Depot Road, Beaufort Plaza Shopping Center and Roseida Road. The FSMT recently developed The Spanish Moss Trail Mobile Guide (available for free download on Apple Store and Google Play) that is proving to be an extremely useful tool for residents, prospective travelers as well as current visitors who want to navigate themselves and share their experiences on the trail. “As for what’s next for the Spanish Moss Trail, the Friends are actively involved in the funding and planning for the next section of the trail that will take our residents and visitors into the downtown area of Port Royal,” said Moss. “We will also begin the engineering phase of the segments that will complete the trail to the Whale Branch River.” The FSMT have secured more than 90

percent of the funds needed for upcoming commitments to the trail. They are launching a public fundraising campaign to raise an additional $150,000 to meet their goals in 2017. The continued success of the trail has been made possible through a network of sustainable partnerships, local government participation and the generous funding from community-minded individuals. To support the efforts of the FSMT, tax-deductible checks can be made payable to: Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail, P.O. Box 401, Beaufort, SC 29901, or online at www.SpanishMossTrail.com.

The process is simple, and to ease area businesses into the system, City Finance Director Kathy Todd will be offering workshops in October. The sessions will familiarize business owners with the process and help them create their log-in access as well as receive personalized attention in getting set up.

FIAT comes to New River Auto Mall

Volvo Cars Hilton Head was hand-selected by Volvo Car USA to be the first in the nation to build and initiate the new Volvo Personal Service program, which was officially launched on Sept. 28. Volvo Cars Hilton Head, under the leadership of longtime business partners Chris Elliott and Mike Turner, was chosen to work with a team from Sweden from among the more than 300 Volvo dealers in the country to pioneer this revolutionary reinvention of the industry’s repair and maintenance model. The project has been in the works for more than a year and is now ready for unveiling to customers. “Volvo continues to be a 360-degree innovator in the automotive industry – first seat belts, then airbags and now autonomous-driving vehicles and a fully-transparent service experience for our customers,” Elliott said. “It’s a brand we are proud to represent and look forward to more opportunities to be first-in-the-nation when the first American-made Volvos roll off the new South Carolina assembly lines in 2018.” The essence of the program is to transform and streamline the service experience by pairing customers with a personal ser-

vice technician (PST), who guides the customer through the entire process, which eliminates redundancy and fosters trust and transparency as customers are encouraged to watch their PST diagnose and work on their vehicle in the comfort of the renovated showroom.

Family, football team work to fight childhood cancer By Kat Walsh

“Your child has cancer.” “The hardest words any parent will ever hear,” says Jonathan Sullivan. “It is still hard for me to hear myself say it.” Jonathan and his wife, Nikole, heard those words on Jan. 4 when Tash, their 8-week-old son, was diagnosed with a form of infant leukemia called Infant Leukemia, B-Cell ALL. Their nightmare started a few days before Christmas 2015 when Tash started vomiting at night. Then six days later came the unthinkable diagnosis. “How many other cases of infant leukemia have you seen?” the Sullivans, who were living in Orlando at the time, asked the head of pediatric oncology at Florida Hospital. The answer: "Two." And they had never had a patient as young as Tash. “If this was your child what would you do?” they needed to know. "St. Jude's is the best, I would go to Memphis." Tash was accepted at St. Jude’s the next day. St. Jude’s “Today is Day One of treatment. Words I never thought I would be using to describe the life of one of my children,” wrote Nikole on Jan. 7 on TashTuff.blogspot.com, the blog she keeps as both an outlet for herself and a checkpoint for family and friends. Although it was Tash’s first day in the hospital, the Sullivans, who also have two little girls, were no stranger to St. Jude’s. The couple met while working for the Marriott in Memphis, mere blocks from the hospital. “We volunteered together at St. Jude’s,

even dressed up for their big Halloween event,” said Nikole. “With Jonathan dressed as Spiderman, we walked these halls – even the floor our son is now on – trying to bring a smile to the face of young patients. I never dreamed we would be on the other side of that door one day.” Moving to Beaufort Jonathan’s career with Marriott required the family to relocate every few years, but such a lifestyle was no longer an option. When the opportunity to work at the Beaufort Inn became available in June, Jonathan brought the girls to town for a visit from Orlando. After a tour of Beaufort Academy and a positive playground review by their daughters, Sloane, 4, and Scout, 3, the Sullivans were convinced. Beaufort would now be home. Still, the transition has been rough. With their mother in Memphis with Tash, Sloane and Scout haven’t seen her since January. With such extraordinary challenges to manage, Jonathan says it is easy to feel like a failure as a parent. “We have put our kids through so much and we are stretching them. They are supposed to just be able to just be kids.” Beaufort Academy As Sloane and Scout settled into their pre-K programs at Beaufort Academy, their new school’s coach geared up for the annual fundraiser. As a member of the East Carolina University football team, head football coach Scott Richards competed at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis. Part of that experi-

ence was a visit St. Jude’s. “For me and my teammates, it was life-changing,” said Richards. “It gave me an appreciation of what real battles in life are, and what real warriors those kids are.” Two decades later, when a school fundraiser, Touchdowns Against Cancer, combining high school football and St. Jude’s, came across his desk, Richards jumped at the opportunity. An email went out to the BA community explaining the fundraiser and asking for donations. The next morning, there was a reply from a new BA family, the Sullivans. “Unbeknownst to us, they were there. They were experiencing this,” said Richards. “It really hit home.” So, Beaufort Academy raised $505 per touchdown, leading the entire nation in most dollars raised per touchdown, and raising a total $6,571 for St. Jude’s. Lisa Gallagher, director of Communications and Special Events, marveled at Beaufort Academy’s strong and supportive community. “I didn’t think we would be No. 1, but I was not surprised at all.” At the last football game of the fundraiser, Jonathan, Scout and Sloane joined Headmaster Stephen Schools, Richards and the football team on the field during halftime. The team presented the family with a football jersey, with Tash printed on the back and signed by the entire team. “The jersey may be too big for him now, but Tash's strength and courage fills it now,” said Schools. Meanwhile, the magic words – “release

date” – are now part of the Sullivan’s vocabulary. “Coming home is a possibly for Tash around Oct. 31,” says Jonathan. A release date isn’t remission – it’s a whole different set of challenges, “but we are incredibly excited to deal with those challenges. It’s a light at the end of the tunnel.” For more information on Touchdowns Against Cancer, visit touchdownsagainstcancer.com.

Holy Trinity raises $650,000 in campaign

Administrators, faculty, staff and parents at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School are celebrating after the school’s first annual fundraising campaign ended in a blaze of glory. The 2015-2016 campaign, “Love to Learn,

Learn to Love,” raised more than $650,000 to continue the school’s mission of providing a classical Christian education to elementary, middle and high school students. The annual fund campaign is the tangible manifestation of a decision made by the Holy Trinity board of trustees to support families by adopting a faith-based tuition policy. While other private schools typically rely

on tuition to cover a significant percentage of their operating costs, Holy Trinity chose another path. Under its 40/60 model, tuition covers 60 percent of all operating costs, and donors contribute the remaining 40 percent to help sustain the school’s viability. The term “faith-based” refers to the board’s belief that God will provide to enable the school to continue doing His work. In late May, after receiving a $100,000 disbursement from the Farrell & Elizabeth Runyan endowment, the school was still shy of reaching its goal of $651,500. This caused the leadership of the school to press into God through prayer. And then an unexpected gift of $50,000 arrived the last week of school, pushing the grand total to $652,768.84. “We at Holy Trinity continue to be amazed at how God continues to provide for our school,” said the Rev. Chad E. Law-

rence, the school headmaster. “We are so grateful for the support we have received from generous individuals, many of whom don’t even have a child in the school.” The school has recently commenced its 2016-2017 annual fund campaign with an even larger goal of $791,600 to accommodate for the school's rapid growth. Holy Trinity’s 275 students in grades preschool through nine study Latin, the great works of poetry, literature, art, music, history, phonics and mathematics, all within the framework of a Christ-centered learning environment. “When we started the school, I knew it would have an impact on the students,” said Lawrence. “What I didn’t realize is how it would change entire families. This is precisely why it’s so important that we keep tuition within reach for those who passionately desire a classical Christian education for their children.”

USCB runner makes great time in race

Douglas easily outpaced all non-Division I runners and finished fourth overall at the USC Upstate Invitational in Spartanburg, running a season-best time of 18 minutes, 8 seconds in the 5K race.

VOICES LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bridge racial divide over dinner table

The beauty of America is that we are a melting pot. People come from all over the world seeking the opportunities and freedoms that we, as Americans, take for granted. Of course, there are times where we fall short of living up to the principles and ideals that led to the founding of our country, but it is in those times that we must be strong and stand together. After all, if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand (Mark 3:25). If we go any other place in the world, we are not seen as black, or white or Asian, we are seen as the nationality listed on our passport: United States of America. We must promote that idea at home; the idea that although we look different, we are all Americans entitled to the same freedoms as the rest of our countrymen. A couple of months ago, my friend from Oklahoma, Sen. James Lankford and I asked the American people to join us and take part in something we call “Solution Sundays.” Solution Sundays is a request for you to invite a person of a different race into your home to have dinner. If we do not interact with those who are different than us, there is no way to bridge the gap and heal the racial tensions that currently exist in our society. It is human nature to look for differences and separate ourselves from one another based on those differences. In the long run, breaking bread together is just a simple request. There are still many things that we must take care of to fix the disenchantment that many Americans feel; however, this is not something that our government can fix. There is no legislation that we can pass and no magic wand that I can wave to right all of the racial problems in our country. This must be a conscious effort made by individuals seeking to build a more perfect union. It is time that we realize we are one country, made up of one people, working to ensure opportunity for all. I truly believe that if you sit down with someone who looks different or has a different background than

you and have a meal, you will find more similarities than you ever imagined possible. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-SC

Museum includes Reconstruction exhibit

I just read Bill Rauch’s article "On its sesquicentennial, Beaufort let Reconstruction slide," in the Sept. 29-Oct. 5 issue of The Island News, and I feel compelled to share information that was overlooked. I also want to correct some misconceptions that Rauch stated about the Beaufort History Museum, which is located on the second floor of the Arsenal. First, the Beaufort History Museum does not belong to the chamber of commerce as implied in the article, but instead is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with an all-volunteer board of directors and volunteer docent staff. The chamber does co-market with the museum as it does with other nonprofit organizations. The Beaufort History Museum is not funded by the city of Beaufort or the chamber of commerce, and instead relies on memberships, donations and admission fees to cover its operational expenses, including the rent it pays the chamber to occupy the space in the Arsenal. Second, the museum opened a long-term exhibit on Reconstruction in Beaufort in June this year, which has received outstanding reviews by both visitors and historians. The exhibit, "Reconstruction Beaufort-Islands of Hope in a Sea of Distress," was funded by modest accommodations tax grants from both the city of Beaufort and Beaufort County, with much of the exhibit's development work being done by the museum's volunteer board members. The exhibit details how the Reconstruction Period in Beaufort was much more positive than in the rest of the South, and includes a good deal of information about Robert Smalls and his contributions to Beaufort and the United States of America, as a hero of the Civil War and afterward as a member of both the South Carolina legislature and the U.S. Congress.

Some people are sand philosophers Now what? HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

Friendship Included.

If you have ever gone to Hunting Island State Park and walked the beach during low tide, you might have seen some of our local philosophers at work. These are the people who walk along the shore with their sticks and are inspired to write just when the ocean tide is at its lowest. Whether it’s the breeze off the ocean or the endless horizon that inspires them, it’s not long before they are writing in the sand. But unlike Aristotle and Plato, whose works have been around for thousands of years, the sand philosopher’s words are only here for a limited amount of time. On a recent morning I noticed that someone had written “Always.” I stopped and just looked at it. Always what? Always in love? Always hear the ocean? Always, as in God? Or maybe someone just expected the reader to be inspired by the meaning of the word and come to one’s own conclusion. A good friend told me that she knows people who go to the beach over New Year’s and write the old year over the new year and take pictures as the old year gets washed away. How symbolic; especially for those people who have had a bad year. The water appears

to wash away the past. You might see footprints near some writing, too. Couples will stand together and squish their feet deep into the sand as they face one another. Written next to the footprints is something like “soulmates.” It takes much longer for the incoming tide to erase the deep footprints. Parents are also known to do this with their children with the date written next to the footprints, as if forever imprinting the moment in time. But some of the sand writing is actually not philosophical, but more like Comedy Central. You might see “Life is a beach” or a long arrow pointed to the water with the words “Beach this way.” I also saw “Wilson was here” as a reference to the movie “Cast Away,” where the Wilson volleyball floated away. And of course, there are the endless games of tic-tac-toe. So if you are having a particularly unpleasant week and need to be inspired, go down to the beach and check out the sand philosophers’ work. And don’t forget to bring your own writing stick.

OCTOBER 6 - 12, 2016

Just remember, despite the fact you’re not really ready to buy your holiday dinner wines, all the wines we learn about between now and then will be ready and waiting for you. Our first holiday wine is a French sparkling. Right away, we know it has bubbles, and that it’s not as expensive as a champagne. Holiday afternoons and evening always seem to start better with a few bubbles EVENT … the days before and the days after, too. If you go to a friend’s house, bubbles are a perfect gift as you go in their door. (FYI, chilled gifts get opened sooner!) Back to our wine lesson, though. Sparkling wines are made all over France: different grapes, different styles, different “bubble-making” processes. With any given set of specifics, they can all be good and appropriate in some time and some place. Our job is to know the better ones so we can choose the best for each of our times and places. Fontainbleu is a palace in the Fontainbleu commune in southeast metropolitan Paris. (The palace has more than 1,500 rooms and its roof covers 5 acres.) The vineyards around this area have similar soils to the Loire Valley. A huge supply of good quality sparkling wines come from the Loire. Veuve Devienne, our wine, comes from near the Fontainbleu area. That means, like sparklers from the Loire Valley, it is also based on chenin blanc. Chenin blanc is not a variety that most of us are overly familiar with, but now’s our chance. Unlike most other white grapes, chenin is more versatile in the different styles of wines it can make. It can be very dry, partially dry, partially sweet, very sweet and sparkling. Most wine-producing countries around the world make wines from this variety. (South Africa makes the most.) Chenin is well-suited for making sparkling

wines because of its range of flavors and its natural acidity. Aromas and flavors in chenin wines include apples, baked apples, passion fruit, pineapple, peaches, pears, nectarines, apricots, tangerines, mandarin oranges, kumquats, oranges, lemons, honeydew melons, honey, ginger, orange blossoms, jasmine, perfume and caramel. Plus, winemakers can oak age or not, as they choose. A list of food pairings for chenin wines is just as long: veal, trout, poultry - especially turkey - halibut, smoked salmon, pâtés, mild cheeses, aged cheddar, oysters and more. Sparkling wines based on chenin blanc, like our Devienne Brut, are happy with all of these. Devienne is a family name, given by the widow (veuve) to these wines. But, they did make wines, sparkling wines, and, with enough scratching in old books and websites, they do seem to have a connection with the Fontainbleu area. This brut is made predominantly with chenin blanc, blended with lesser amounts of arbois, chardonnay and ugni blanc. The grapes are hand-selected and fermented separately. After blending, the wine rests and goes through a slow second fermentation so it has many tiny bubbles. It is bottled after it has bubbles, so it is called a “vin mousseux.” Veuve Devienne Brut is pale yellow, with hints of green, and shows fresh, delicate fruit aromas and flavors: apples, pears, Meyer lemons, kumquats, melons. Beyond the fruits, it has ginger, floral notes, hints of green grass and a lively minerality. Besides being a perfect glass for your holiday cooking and welcoming friends, Veuve Devienne will be well paired with holiday dinners. For $10.99. But why wait? Enjoy it sooner. And for the holidays.

New this year will be a kids' fun zone with a zipline, bounce house, rock wall, trampoline, face painting, Tux the Clown and more. For those brave and hungry for a challenge, Buccola suggests entering Carolina Tavern’s bratwurst eating contest. Along with activities for all ages, for those over 21, craft and domestic beer from around the country will be available. Pets are prohibited. Attendees can bring chairs, and while coolers are not prohibited, the festival encourages people to leave the coolers at home and support the food and beverage vendors. Parking can be found on side streets and along 14th Street.
