STRAIGHT TALK

Setting defined goals I am uniquely qualified to represent Lady’s Island, Dataw Island and Pigeon Point on the Beaufort County Board of Education. I have deep roots in Beaufort County, having lived and worked for the school district for 24 years. For the past six years I have lived on Lady’s Island. My extensive experience with local schools and my history of community involvement through school activities and as a volunteer provide me specialized knowledge and insight to the challenges and successes of our school system.

I have lived and worked in several different parts of the county, which gives me significant perspective into the individual problems and needs within the county as a whole.

I already have a deep understanding of the schools in District 7. I know many of the principals on a personal basis and have a strong working relationship with many of the district office staff. This will enhance my ability to get things done — and done quickly — because a level of trust and knowledge already exists. Additionally, I have good relationships with other school board members and with many other community leaders, both in business and political office.

I have three primary goals in running for this position: First, we must work as an entire Board of Education with the County Council and Legislative Delegation to develop legislation that provides for fair and consistent education funding across the state. This does not have to mean more taxes, in fact it should not, but it should mean an overhaul of the present system to see that districts such as ours receive a fair share of funding from the state and remove some of the inequitable burden on local homeowners and businesses that exists now. This provides for the needs of the district, including the ability to recruit and retain the best staff possible.

Second, we must ensure that there is rigorous instruction designed to meet the needs of individual students. We must have teachers who are willing and

Bill Evans is a candidate for District 7 Beaufort County School Board representative.

We must work together to develop legislation that provides consistent education funding across the state so school districts such as ours receive a fair share. able to teach to these individual needs and we must have administrators, particularly at the schools, who are trained in recognizing proper instruction and have the skills to help improve instruction as necessary.

This should lead us to continuous academic progress and the attainment of both local and state goals of student achievement. This approach will also boost graduation rates because students will receive more personalized instruction and guidance.

Third, discipline needs to be a cornerstone of the relationship between the schools, students and parents.

Discipline policies and practices should keep students in school receiving instruction as much as possible. When they are suspended and sent home, they not only miss out on key learning, but without adult supervision they also have more opportunities to get into further trouble. That doesn’t help the student, it doesn’t help the family and it certainly doesn’t help the community.

Misbehaving students should receive consequences on their own time and should include the possibility of service to the school.

Students who are violent or habitually disruptive need to be isolated from those who are dedicated learners; in doing this we need to make

sure that we identify the problems these students are having and set up programs to address and correct these issues. But we also must recognize our responsibility to the dedicated learners and protect their learning from habitually disruptive students.

I have seen what works and what doesn’t work over my 24 years as a district administrator working at Hilton Head, Beaufort and Battery Creek high schools as well as the district office. During the past three years I served as the school district’s ombudsman, fielding questions and concerns from parents and community members and seeking resolutions to those issues. These experiences all gave me a clear picture of our district and the needs and expectations of our various communities.

I’ve also spent more than a decade as a high school principal at Beaufort High, Battery Creek High and Hilton Head High. I know what’s reasonable to expect and what simply won’t work. In these times of extremely tight finances, we cannot afford the time or the cost of programs that don’t bring true value to our students — and my background in education and in Beaufort County schools will help bring that voice to the school board.

Living and working in Beaufort County for many years, my family has received a great deal. My long history of community involvement and volunteerism leads me to this election for the School Board District 7 seat as yet another way to give back to the community. I need your support to bring excellence into our schools.

Thank you and please vote.

News STRAIGHT TALK

Bringing new perspectives I spent more than 36 years in education working as a successful classroom teacher, principal of a state and federal award-winning high school, acting associate superintendent, assistant superintendent for administration and human resources and university adjunct professor teaching future administrators. I worked closely with school boards as part of a central oďŹƒce leadership team during which time I experienced ďŹ rst-hand the selection of a superintendent, helped develop district-wide school budgets and helped create an enhanced beneďŹ ts program while saving many thousands of dollars annually. Additionally, I became experienced regarding a wealth of issues common to all school districts. I understand the role of the school board and value both community and systemwide collaboration.

In talking with school personnel as well as the general public here in Beaufort, I have heard more thoughts and questions that really boil down to a matter of communication. “Why doesn’t the school board make test information printouts quicker?â€? “Why was my child disciplined when he/she was just taking up for another child?â€? “Why do we do so much testing?â€? Although all of the questions are good ones, there is an equally good answer for each and every one. Eective communication is a twoway street with both parties responsible to both talk and listen. Everyone must be aware. This is also true with the more global issue of school system goals. Agree or not agree, all parties must understand where the other is coming from.

Without clear, shared communication by and between all publics, it is impossible to have the best schools.

Facts become lost in rumor mills, people feel less appreciated and, ultimately, the students suer. Accountability becomes incomplete especially as a tool for helping individuals and the district as a whole to get better.

While the very use of the words “accountabilityâ€? and “communicationâ€? in the same breath makes one think of more work, the reality is that excellent communication actually can help people work smarter and more eďŹƒciently as well as get better results while having more community support.

Forum

Robert White is a candidate for District 7 Beaufort County School Board representative.

Effective communication is essential for a great school system.

As an example of taking current programs and organizing those eorts to achieve more, I would encourage the school system to consider reďŹ ning the current School Improvement program. Each school has a local School Improvement Council which is charged with developing goals and objectives for that school. Council membership includes parents, teachers, business leaders, the principal and, at the high school level, students. Required by the state and already in basic form, these plans are designed to have individual school goals and should also include school system goals. These plans should ow to the superintendent and the school board for their review. In turn, while personnel evaluations by law are private, the superintendent could foster a principal evaluation component that includes review of each school’s progress in meeting the goals of the school plan. In this fashion, the school board goals ow down to the individual schools and the individual school’s goals ow back to the school board. Two-way, top to bottom and bottom to top communication is fostered with development of a common language among all stake holders. By using this process the school board would have better monitoring of progress being made by the school district, better understanding of individual school issues and how school sites are addressing local as well as system wide goals and objectives.

The board also would gain a clearer understanding of how the support sta is helping each school improve. Likewise, the system could use these reports to prepare clear, understandable reviews of progress toward and accomplishment of

goals for the general public. A systemic approach that fosters understanding and accountability among all parties develops understanding and buy in for the common goals of the schools and the school district. When all parties understand and appreciate the needs of the other, more support and eort result. Once again, using what is already in place to get more results is just one of the ideas I have for moving the schools forward.

Having studied Beaufort County public schools and believing that everything in education must be student and teacher focused, I see much good in our schools.

However, all organizations are either getting better or getting worse. No organization stays the same. I know that we as a community would choose for our schools to get better, and the general community must be part of this eort.

I believe that I have some ideas which can help the system to improve and new perspectives to bring to our dialogue. We owe it to our teachers to listen to their needs and we owe it to our students not to be satisďŹ ed with current conditions.

Together we can build on what is good and improve what needs to be improved.

Together we can achieve so much!

Republican Joy Logan this week unveils a campaign website for her reelection as Beaufort County Treasurer, a post she’s held since 1991.

The website, www.electjoylogan. com, features background information on the longtime Beaufort County resident, her career and her achievements as treasurer.

Logan recently earned the S.C. Lt. Governor’s Palmetto Patriot Joy Logan Award, largely due to her work helping heirs keep their family property through the annual tax sales, and also for oering one of South Carolina’s ďŹ rst installment payment plans for property taxes.

Logan is the only treasurer in South Carolina who allows heirs to bid on their own property at tax sale so they can keep it.

With the installment plan, participating taxpayers spread their tax payments over ďŹ ve equal payments during the year, with the ďŹ nal payment Jan. 15 of the next tax year – which makes it easier for many families to aord their payments and keep their land and homes.

The website includes information on how to join Logan’s campaign.

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 RYHU WLPH GXH WR LQĂ DWLRQ 7KH EHVW WKLQJ WR GR WKHQ LV OHDUQ KRZ WR SRWHQWLDOO\ 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 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 WROHUDWH VWUHVV KRZ PXFK \RX ZRUU\ DERXW \RXU ÀQDQFHV KRZ PXFK savings you need to have in the bank to feel comfortable, and how your ÀQDQFLDO GHFLVLRQV DIIHFW \RXU IDPLO\ Experts advise people to have at least six months worth of income on hand WR WROHUDWH FDVK à RZ HPHUJHQFLHV OLNH MRE ORVV RU LOOQHVV :KHQ GHWHUPLQLQJ \RXU risk tolerance for investing, the most important thing to consider is what is needed to NHHS \RXU ÀQDQFLDO KRPH VDIH $IWHU WKDW \RXU LQGLYLGXDO WLPH IUDPH FDQ LQà XHQFH WKH GHFLsion of whether or not you can afford the investments with a little more risk.

News Hope Haven receives grant for outreach specialist Hope Haven of the Lowcountry, the regional non-profit children’s advocacy and rape crisis center, has received funding from the Violence Against Women Act program for a Sexual Assault Outreach Specialist. The new staff member of the agency will be responsible for providing education and outreach to law enforcement agencies, hospital personnel and the public in the 14th Judicial Circuit about a change in the South Carolina law regarding adults reporting sexual assault and rape.

The 2005 Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women’s Act and South Carolina Act 59 allows rape victims time to decide whether or not to pursue their case. Before the legislature passed Act 59 in June of 2009, the South Carolina Office of Victim’s Assistance would reimburse hospitals for conducting a sexual assault forensic exam as long as the victim reported the crime to the police. Now, that same exam can be done at any South Carolina hospital and the victim can decide later

DONATE BLOOD

T

he American Red Cross needs you to donate blood at the Carteret Street United Methodist Church on Friday, Oct. 7. The blood drive will be from Noon to 6 p.m. in the fellowship hall; park in the lot off of Carteret or North Street.

Red Cross blood is distributed throughout the world — wherever needed — and is the primary source for blood used by the U.S. military services.

To be eligible to donate, you must be 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds. Each donor will have a thorough medical screening to ensure safety of the donor and the blood supply.

To make an appointment, please call 1-866-611-7137 or log onto www. givelife.org. For questions, please call Merle Hoagland (522-2073) or e-mail merle13@embarqmail.com.

about whether or not they want to report it to law enforcement.

“Sometimes rape victims do not seek medical attention when they should because of the sensitive nature of the crime,” said Shauw Chin Capps, Executive Director for Hope Haven.

“This new law allows victims to seek the care they may need, access STD and pregnancy prevention, and also have the evidence collection kit performed without having to talk to the police.

Hope Haven is very excited to be able

to spread the word about this new law because of this award.”

There is a small window of opportunity for collecting evidence in cases of rape and sexual assault.

The decision about whether or not to prosecute the offender can be made later, thanks to Act 59. Following the exam, the evidence will be stored, and the rape victim can take up to one year to decide whether or not they want to make a report to law enforcement.

Firefighters share home safety message The term “two in, two out” is used by firefighters nationwide to describe their safety procedure when operating at a fire, and this Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 3-9), Beaufort County firefighters want parents to use that same term should a fire strike their home. The parents should know not only two ways out of every room in their home but also two ways to reach their children who may still be inside.

“In all my years teaching safety in Beaufort County, I have found that most adults completely underestimate the speed, heat and toxicity of a fire, so many parents mistakenly think they can just dash to their child’s room,” said Burton Fire District Firefighter Daniel Byrne. “Most parents never give thought to what they would do if the fire is inbetween them and their children.”

Byrne said statistics show children under 5, those who cannot escape on their own, as being twice as likely to die in a home fire as evidence to this fact.

Beaufort County firefighters are using this time of national focus on fire prevention to urge parents to look at their home and family dynamics and remember the term “two in, two out.”

“Fire will kill more Americans this year than the war on terrorism and all natural disasters combined, and a large

“Fire will kill more Americans this year than the war on terrorism and all natural disasters combined, and a large percentage of those deaths will be children, so we hope parents will take the term ‘two in, two out’ as serious as firefighters do.”

Burton Fire District Firefighter Daniel Byrne percent of those deaths will be children,” stated Byrne, “so we hope parents will take the ‘two in, two out’ term as serious as firefighters do.”

Lee Levesque of the Lady’s Island Fire District encourages parents to remember that not only are windows exits too, but they can also be used to reach children. “Most adults who do not survive fire are found in bed or within 3 to 5 feet of the front door because of that underestimation of fire,” Levesque said, “or they’re found in main hallways as they went back through a main door to go inside to get the children, so windows are a very important part of the ‘two in, two out.’ ” Bluffton Fire District Public Educator Kirk O’Leary says even children too young to understand and execute fire escape skills such as staying low and feeling doors for heat can associate the sound of a smoke detector with going to a window where they can be reached.

“Call it the Firefighter’s Chair,” says O’Leary, “but give them somewhere to go where you can get to them. Without having something to do, children will then panic, and that’s why most children are found in closets.”

“The big challenge is for families living in two-story homes with bedrooms upstairs,” stated Beaufort Fire Captain John Robinson. “Those plans might have to be elaborate and include ladders, but it is very important there is a plan before fire erupts at 2 a.m.”

Captain Robinson suggests those who live in two-story homes, and have more of a risk if the bedrooms are on the second floor, purchase rescue ladders which can be found at most department stores and online.

School News St. Peter’s starts drive to get bus

pick a book

By Christoper A. Trott, Principal On Sunday, Sept. 26, the pastor of St. Peter Catholic Church, Rev. Father Timothy D. Tebalt, made an announcement to the parish that the church will begin a drive to secure a bus for the church and school to use. After looking into a variety of options, Fr. Tebalt settled on purchasing a 14 passenger bus that costs approximately $40,000, which includes detailing. This bus will assist the many ministries on campus, including the school, and help to develop new projects over the course of the coming years.

The school will access the bus to take it to and from special activities near and far from Beaufort. Currently, as teachers

plan their ďŹ eld trips, they also need to coordinate between the classroom parents to secure enough rides for the students.

As this can be sometimes diďŹƒcult, having a school bus will help teachers to keep their students together on their way to and from the activity.

Mrs. Bonnie Goltz who teaches second grade, said, “What a wonderful opportunity for our school to have. I’m so excited.�

Many of the teachers often take at least three ďŹ eld trips a school year, which is 30 times the bus would be in use for these learning opportunities.

The school also has an active sports program and participates

in basketball, cross country and soccer. The bus would help transport the athletes to games outside of campus.

Fr. Tebalt also is looking to reenergize a community outreach project called “Helping Hands,� coordinated

by Deacon Michael Beeler.

One of the purposes of this ministry is to help parishioners who can no longer drive to Mass get their safely and with a secure ride. The bus will also allow for the parishioners of St. Peter Catholic Church to get to events hosted by the Diocese of Charleston that are typically in Charleston or Columbia.

To help with this project, call 843-522-9555.

Lesley Holladay ďŹ ghts like a girl

SHOW YOUR

SUPPORT

by Wendy Pollitzer

L

esley Holladay is a ďŹ ghter. In August of 2006, Lesley was diagnosed with Stage III Invasive Breast Cancer. She was only 33 years old when her biopsy revealed the lump she’d found six months before was, in fact, cancerous.

After almost two years of chemotherapy at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and radiation treatments at the Keyserling Cancer Center, Lesley fought the battle and now wants to give hope to young mothers who have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, a disease that now aects 1 in 8 women at some point in her life.

The good news? There are approximately two and a half million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Breast cancer death rates have been going down, most likely as a result of early detection and better treatment.

Lesley had the right outlook and the proper plan to ďŹ ght her battle.

She explains, “The dierence between winning and losing is your attitude.

When you’re physically defeated, the only way to survive is to push forward.

You can’t look back; you’ve got to have faith that you’ll beat it.� “Luckily, I had my mom here to help me with Thomas, my precious son. My main objective was keeping Thomas’ life as normal as possible. Knowing I had to survive for him got me through my dayto-day. Thomas helped me stay focused,� she said. “Thomas says his prayers every night, and in them, he thanks God for healing his mom’s body of cancer.�

In addition to her faith in God, Lesley also mapped out a strategic plan to research the disease and prepare for her crusade while managing a household with a 5-year-old.

A friend accompanied Lesley on her trips to the doctor. She took careful notes while Lesley listened to the prognosis. “You’re so overwhelmed when you ďŹ rst ďŹ nd out you have cancer. You’re not sure what to ask, what to listen for, etc.,â€? Lesley explains. “Because my friend came with me, I was able to research her notes later and come back with detailed questions in order to develop a plan I

Breast cancer survivor Leslie Holladay and her son, Thomas. was comfortable with.�

And the advice Lesley would give to a newly diagnosed woman with breast cancer? “Time is of the essence at the beginning of your diagnosis. Make sure you ask the right questions. Also, nobody knows your body better than yourself.

If you ďŹ nd a lump, push forward with questions and be proactive with your prognosis.â€?

Lesley Holladay is the Director of Operations for the United Way of the Lowcountry. She’s a 1996 graduate of the University of South Carolina. She never expected she would get breast cancer at such a young age.

When she received chemotherapy treatments at MUSC, Lesley met a girl her age with two children, also diagnosed with Stage III Invasive Breast Cancer. They became each other’s support network. Whatever they read, learned through the Internet or friends, they would share with each other each time they’d see each other at the hospital. “It’s important to have someone as your support, someone to explain to you what to expect,â€? said Lesley. “One of the most memorable things I experienced while receiving chemotherapy at MUSC was a laptop and iPod from the Share Our Suzy Foundation out of Charleston. Those two items certainly kept my spirits up while I struggled with the terrible eects of chemo.â€?

Share Our Suzy (SOS) is a foundation named for Susie McGrane, a young woman in her early twenties diagnosed with breast cancer. Originally called Save Our Suzy, the annual wine tasting

WE BUY GOLD!

event raised money to help with the ďŹ nancial expenses associated with Suzy’s treatments.

When Suzy lost her battle to breast cancer, the foundation known as Share Our Suzy (SOS) was formed. The goal of SOS is to allow patients to focus solely on recovery and not the ďŹ nancial stress brought on during this very diďŹƒcult battle. Funds raised are used for assistance with every day needs such as wigs, prosthetics, childcare, gas cards, utility bill assistance, medication assistance and more. SOS takes care of the critical areas that insurance companies do not. “I know Suzy would have wanted this for me,â€? explained a thankful Lesley.

Lesley Holladay will be walking in the 17th Annual Susan G. Komen Race for the CureÂŽ in Charleston on Saturday, Oct. 16. She’s also an active committee member for Lowcountry Pink for the Cure, which brings awareness to the ďŹ ght against breast cancer by challenging area businesses to decorate their storefronts and windows in a pink theme.

Locally, the Susan G. Komen Foundation gives money to Beaufort Jasper Comprehensive Health Services and Beaufort Memorial Hospital. “Awareness is really starting to make a dierence,â€? explains Lesley. “Research and awareness is key to ďŹ ghting this horrible disease.â€?

I agree. My mother is a breast cancer survivor as well. My grandmother was not. She died at the young age of 56.

We have come so far, so fast. But we still have a long way to go.

If you want to do anything to help with the global ďŹ ght against breast cancer, do it this month. Get involved.

Donate. Wear pink. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s all do our part to help young women like Lesley hurt less. It’s possible if we have her attitude. It is the dierence between winning and losing.

To my dear friend Lesley and my courageous Mom, Shirley: Keep ďŹ ghting like Girls! To my loving grandmother, Elsie: We’re ďŹ ghting in your memory. I love and miss you.

AT THE DENTIST During the month of October, the dental team at McKnight & Weaver Dentistry will be working to raise awareness of breast cancer by going pink and raising dollars for research to ďŹ nd a cure.

The clinical team will be wearing pink gloves and masks, and will be using pink tips on their suction units.

Additionally, $100 from each case of teeth whitening started in October will be donated to breastcancer.org to further research and breast cancer awareness. The special whitening fee for the month of October will be $300.

For more information, please go to www.mcknightweaver.com or call 843-521-1869.

AT THE SALON Anna Katherine (above) supports Breast Cancer awareness month by wearing a pink hair strip for the month of October.

The cost is only $10, and proceeds go directly to breast cancer research. To get your pink strip, visit Lime Lite Salon on Carteret Street. It only takes a few minutes and is simply glued into your hair. It is painless and can be washed and blown dry. Help support the cause.

Congrats to Pamela Brownstein who won the Beaufort International Film Festival’s 2011 Poster Contest.

Out of 65 entrees, Pamela had two poster designs in the top 10 finalists (!) that were chosen in an anonymous judging by a panel led by gallery owner Deanna Bowdish. Pamela and husband Daniel Brownstein, who works for the solicitor’s office, are a smart fun couple who had both worked for The Island Packet. Pamela recently worked for Hilton Head Monthly before becoming the artistic director for this paper starting with last week’s issue.

Welcome aboard Pam! Another new couple downtown is a couple from Connecticut that recently bought Charlie Chetty’s former home on Laurens Street. They also have a home on Martha’s Vineyard and felt that Beaufort is like a warmer Southern version of that famous island town.

Only with friendlier people! — Well, of course, it’s Beaufort. Their names are Joe and Charlene Cusano. If you are in the neighborhood, say hello. They have to return to Connecticut in November and December to care for ailing parents, and hope to rent out the house furnished for those two months, so if you know anyone who needs a nice place to stay on

Wine & More

The Ducks from Napa rule

GROWLERS ARE ALL THE RAGE

Every once in a while you get to enjoy a really good, fun wine dinner with friends. Last week I got together with some wine friends for what is not usually considered to be a real wine dinner.

We found out that the wines we like can be used with everyday foods. The menu was a choice of fried green tomatoes or Caesar salad for appetizer, a choice of baby back ribs (with finger-licking sauce on them) or shrimp and grits for dinner.

For wines, we had decided to use the new Decoy wines from Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa.

We had all wanted to try these wines when they started coming out about a year ago, so we made up an excuse to have them. The added fact that I was at Duckhorn in Napa a couple of weeks ago just added to the fun cuz of course I had stories to tell. Part of the trick to the whole plan was that we got to have two wines with our apps, on the theory that no matter which one you chose one, of the two wines would go with yours, and ditto, two wines, with the entrees.

Duckhorn Vineyards made their first vintage of wine in 1978. And

orget beer from a can or bottle. Today, beer drinkers in-the-know choose a glass jug called a growler. It can be refilled with domestic or craft beer from a tap and is the ultimate to-go container. Most common craft beers are available in glass bottles but some of the more exceptional brews are only available on tap (keg). Keg beers are fresher and typically have a better taste than the same brand in bottles.

Although they are popular now, growlers have actually been around in various forms for hundreds of years. But how did a container that holds a sweet elixir get such a strange name? The origin of the term “growler” varies, but most likely dates back to the late 1800s and early 1900s when fresh beer was carried home from the local bar in a small, galvanized bucket.

The beer would slosh around the bucket and make a rumbling sound as the CO2 escaped through the lid.

Some say the name comes from the buckets of beers once given to hungry factory workers before their stomachs would begin to growl.

“Rushing the growler” was a common phrase used during the ’30s and ’40s that described children bringing pails of beer from the bar to workers at lunch or home for their parents.

However the name came about, growlers have reemerged recently as an economical and ecological way to enjoy special, and sometimes unusual, beer at home. A new container sells for only $3 and growler fills range from $7-$22. As long as it’s kept clean, a growler can be reused theoretically forever.

Locally you can find growlers and growler refills at Bill’s Liquors.

Bill’s

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

their plan was to make California versions of Bordeaux varietals.

That means cabernet, merlot and sauvignon blanc. In time, they also started growing Zinfandel and made a Bordeaux-style blend but based it on cabernet and Zinfandel as a tribute to their Napa roots.

This wine is called Paraduxx.

Over the years most of us have had some of their wines, probably not too often because as really good as these wines are, they have been priced accordingly. In the last year or so, Duckhorn’s new label, Decoy, became available and is priced for more of us to enjoy more often.

Again, these Decoy wines started with the Bordeaux varieties.

Sauvignon Blanc was their one white and the reds included Merlot, cabernet and a red blend from those two. But Zinfandel

and Pinot Noir were also included because Duckhorn, has expanded into new grapes and territories too. And, too bad we missed it at dinner, the chardonnay arrived in South Carolina the day after.

For the apps, we had decided to have the Decoy Sauvignon Blanc and the Decoy Zinfandel. The plan was that the Sauvignon Blanc would probably pair well with the fried green tomatoes, first, and the salad as well. Because every group has its die hard red drinkers, we chose the Zin for the first round and, although it may not have been perfect with either appetizer, we all loved it. And most of us saved some to try with our ribs. For our entrees, we had the Decoy Pinot Noir, planning said it would go well with the shrimp and grits, and the Decoy Red Blend. Both wines were really well received and, as happens at wine dinners, everyone had their favorite. For me, the Zin was the best of all, and I was glad I’d saved some for my ribs.

So, there it is — a wine dinner that came from regular food, good wines and good friends. Try the Decoy wines yourself, the whites are $15 and the reds are about $20.

lunch bunch

La Dolce Vita at Mario’s Italian Ristorante

by Wendy Pollitzer Che un pasto! What a meal at Mario’s Italian Ristorante, Beaufort’s newest dining establishment for authentic Italian cuisine. The Lunch Bunch recently dined at the popular restaurant on Ribaut Road, home to a handful of other businesses that couldn’t seem to make it in that particular location at 1430 Ribaut next to Hardees.

But Mario’s is dierent. It will deďŹ nitely survive as Beaufort’s treasured Italian home. It’s surprisingly aordable, and the food is impeccable. The sauces are simply mouth-watering delights.

Mario’s is open for lunch and dinner. They apologize for their inability to serve alcohol presently. They are working on obtaining their license. But that shouldn’t hold you back from a delicious and unforgettable experience.

You’ll leave feeling like you’ve just visited the countryside in Tuscany, where dishes are prepared with ďŹ ne natural and avorful ingredients.

The Lunch Bunch reviewing delicious local restaurants Next week will feature Moondoggies in Port Royal. Enjoy!

The cheese ravioli with mushroom sauce is a must-have at Mario’s.

We started with some prosciutto from Parma, Italy, that was served with homemade mozzarella. The combination was perfectly paired. In fact, I kept the appetizer in front of me without passing to share, and didn’t even realize it. The rest of the table enjoyed the fried calamari with a marinara sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed the starters.

They say Italians live to eat while the rest of the world eats to live. It’s the truth at Mario’s.

Man, oh man, were we stued!

And guess who got the favorite meal? That’s right‌ me! I

ďŹ nally ordered the best of the best! It’s a must-have at Mario’s; however, we all ordered wellliked items on the menu from our server, Paul Savary.

I asked for the cheese ravioli, which was covered in a distinct and avorful mushroom sauce. The table agreed, it was scrumptious.

Christina’s dish came in a close second. She ordered the rigatoni bolognese that was topped with a homemade meat sauce that absolutely set o the taste buds.

Kim and Elizabeth both ordered o the specials menu.

Kim got the potato gnocchi with organic basil pesto and shrimp, while Elizabeth chose the fettuccine mari monte with spinach, mushroom, shrimp, clam and mussels in a cherry tomato sauce with a touch of cream. They loved the chef ’s exclusive dishes.

April, who is still counting points with Weight Watchers, chose the Mediterranean salad with chicken. She has been so dedicated to her program. But, of course, April saves her points for dessert.

Paul brought us tiramisu: ladyďŹ ngers with mascarpone cream cheese, coee and a rich creamy topping. It is and will always be Italy’s signature dessert. And it was certainly delicious.

Paul also presented Dark and White ProďŹ teroles, pu pastries stued with both

April and the rest of the Lunch Bunch were in Italian heaven. And I’m not just talking about the food. Our servers, the chef, the owner and the manager were true Italian stallions. The service and hospitality were as authentic as the meal. We were treated like reginas, Italian queens!

If you get Paul as a server, you’ll be in for a treat. He is professional, sweet and most importantly completely knowledge about the menu.

Ask him questions. He’ll know the answers. He guided all of us to the perfect meal, especially me.

Politics republican candidate for s.c. governor nikki haley

democratic candidate for Lt. governor ashley cooper

Nikki Haley shakes hands with AMIkids Beaufort students.

by Wendy Pollitzer Nikki Haley, the Republican candidate in the South Carolina gubernatorial race, was at AMIkids Beaufort, formerly the Beaufort Marine Institute, on Tuesday, Oct. 5, touring the residential facility that serves as an alternative to prison for juvenile defenders ages 14-17. AMIkids Beaufort provides a second chance for young men who would otherwise be sent to jail for their non-violent oenses.

Speaking to a group of young adults in the classroom, Haley made encouraging comments to motivate them for life beyond AMIkids. “What I will ask of you when you get home is to pass it forward. We’ve all made

mistakes. It’s what you do with those mistakes that matter,� explains Haley. “I am proud you are here, but I need you to be successful when you get out. I need you to be part of South Carolina’s work force.�

At the end of her tour, Haley spoke to a crowd and generated supportive nods when she said, “If we don’t take care of these kids now, we’ll have to take care of them later. We need more of these facilities, but we need to know what we’re spending and how to spend it better. These kids deserve a second chance.

They want to get a job and be productive.�

For more on the Haley visit to Beaufort, please visit www.YourIslandNews.com.

Democratic Candidate for Lt. Governor Ashley Cooper came to Beaufort last Thursday for a fundraiser at the home of Laura and John Trask.

Cooper was born and raised in the Lowcountry. A graduate of Clemson University and the University of South Carolina School of Law, he served as Legislative Director and Counsel to former Sen. Fritz Hollings. A Charleston resident, Cooper has been endorsed by the Conservation Voters of South Carolina and the South Carolina Education Association.

In South Carolina, the OďŹƒce on Aging, which administers federal funds received through the Older Americans Act, reports to the Lt. Governor’s oďŹƒce and programs directed toward seniors are the responsibility of that oďŹƒce. Cooper will face Florence County councilman Ken Ard in the general election on Nov. 2.

Co-chairs named for annual Valentine Ball The 2011 Valentine Ball is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, Feb. 12. The ball will include elegant dinner parties in host homes, followed by an exciting silent auction, live music and desserts in the Lyceum at Paris Island. This year, the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation again is designating all funds raised by the ball toward expansion and enhancement of the George N. Pratt MD and Sarah Meyer Pratt Emergency Center at the hospital.

This year, four outstanding citizens are leading the 2011 Valentine Ball. Anne and DeWitt Helm are teaming with Lisa and Paul Mazzeo as cochairs of this worthy fundraiser to help provide a first-rate facility at Beaufort Memorial from which all the members of our community can benefit.

Anne and DeWitt Helm Anne and DeWitt Helm retired to Beaufort from New York City in 2003.

Anne enjoyed an exciting and fulfilling career in fashion, and DeWitt’s professional life was

From left: Dr. Paul Mazzeo, Lisa Mazzeo, Anne Helm, DeWitt Helm.

spent with pharmaceutical companies and as president and CEO of a national trade association. In their new home, both have demonstrated a strong sense of community.

They both volunteer at Historic Beaufort Foundation. Anne serves as a patient volunteer with Friends of Caroline Hospice and is actively involved with Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation. DeWitt has been president of the Point Neighborhood Association and serves as an elder at First Presbyterian Church. Both emphasize, “A good hospital was a prerequisite for a

retirement location and we found it in Beaufort. The real bonus is the commitment the community demonstrates with its participation in the BMH Foundation’s Valentine Ball.

Whether through time, talents or financial support, Beaufort proves it’s a community caring for a community. This year, with proceeds from the ball again earmarked for the emergency center, all of us have a fresh opportunity to unselfishly continue demonstrating ‘love in any language.’ ”

Paul and Lisa Mazzeo Lisa and Paul Mazzeo live

in Beaufort with their three sons, ages 14, 10 and 6, all of whom were born at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Lisa received a registered nurse degree at Armstrong Atlantic State University. She worked in the cardiovascular ICU at Memorial Health in Savannah, where she met Paul. She went on to serve as a nurse in the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta, until returning to the Lowcountry in 1995. She continues to work in nursing with her husband at Coastal Neurology, where she assists in the coordination of clinical research trials. Lisa is a board member at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club, where she organized Beaufort’s first high school sailing team. Previously, she’s been involved with several Valentine Ball committees.

Dr. Paul Mazzeo, originally from Stony Brook, N.Y., started college at age 15 and graduated with a B.S. in biochemistry. Dr. Mazzeo then obtained a M.S. in physiology and biophysics from Georgetown University where he also completed

medical school, receiving a M.D. in 1991. Continuing his trek southward, Dr. Mazzeo interned at Memorial Health in Savannah, where he met Lisa.

After finishing neurological residency at Emory University, he was recruited by Beaufort Memorial Hospital to be Beaufort’s first full-time neurologist.

In addition to being the Medical Director of BMH’s Acute Rehabilitation Unit, Dr. Mazzeo has served as chief of the medical staff for the past two years. Dr. Mazzeo is board certified in neurology, practicing adult and pediatric neurology.

He has special interests in Alzheimer’s dementia, migraine and Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Mazzeo also lectures to community groups and physicians on a variety of neurological topics.

The Helms and Mazzeos invite and encourage all of us who live in the Beaufort area to support the Valentine Ball and the opportunity it provides to help Beaufort Memorial Hospital have the very best emergency center.

World-renowned pianist Daniel Adni will perform with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra.

Beaufort orchestra welcomes pianist World-renowned pianist Daniel Adni will join with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra in their opening concerts on Thursday, Oct. 14 and Sunday, Oct. 17.

The concerts will feature “A Beethoven Bash” including Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor and Symphony No. 7 for orchestra.

Keyboard artist Daniel Adni is a resident of London, England, and a celebrated performer with orchestra and chamber groups throughout Europe.

His amazing performance last October was greeted with rousing cheers, and he is thrilled to return to the Lowcountry and the orchestra stage. He will again appear with the generous support of local music patron, Martha Hoke.

While preparing for last season’s concerts, Maestro Fred Devyatkin and Adni quickly formed both a personal friendship and a professional partnership.

“Daniel brings exceptional artistry and technical facility to his performances, and balances his passion for playing with a sense of grace and good humor,” said Devyatkin.

The BSO was founded 25 years ago by a group of willing volunteers who gathered for the love of making music together. Maestro Frederick Devyatkin took the baton in 1992. Under his exceptional leadership it has grown into a mature symphonic organization, hailed as one of the best small town orchestras in the United States.

Devyatkin is at home directing the most demanding classical scores, but he can also swing with the

A. At Durham Dental, we oer Invisalign, the clear alternative to traditional braces. Using a series of clear aligners, your teeth can be straightened in about 9-15 months. Most people will not even notice you’re wearing braces, and they are removable to make routine brushing and ossing easy.

The Label, deconstructed

By Tracie Korol

At some point in recent history we have been led to believe that combinations of non-foods, unknowns and chemicals are what constitute food for our Best Friends.

When I came to understand what “dog food” was really made of, I gained new appreciation for a dog’s inbred vital force and will to survive, and usually be in pretty good spirits, on a diet of practically nothing.

What follows are the ingredients from the label of one the most popular dog food brands, explained.

It’s directly the white bag with colorful drawings of vegetables in the dog food aisle at most major grocery stores. Here’s what’s in it, right from the label and of course, with my commentary: Ground yellow corn, (Number one ingredient.

That means that at least 95% of this particular kibble is corn. The percentage is standardized by AAFCOAssociation of American Feed Control Officials-that provides model regulations for the pet food industry.

Personally, I would be a little miffed at paying so much for plain old corn.), chicken byproduct meal, (Pet grade meat by-products consist of lesser organs and parts either not desired, or condemned for human consumption. This can include bones, blood, intestines, lungs, ligaments, heads, feet, and feathers. This can also include the dreaded 4 D’s - dead, dying, diseased or dying prior to slaughter.

How much real beef do you think is included in this remaining 5%?), soy flour (filler), sugar (dogs like sweet things, too), propylene glycol (say, isn’t this antifreeze?), meat and bone meal (unless labeled, “meat” can be any meat, dead or alive, hooved, winged, or the dreaded Wild Miscellaneous).

Now comes the list of supplements that are added when the real vitamins are leeched out in the rendering process. I’ll pick out a few that may seem mysterious: tricalcium phosphate, phosphoric acid, salt, water, animal digest (This is purely a flavoring agent. It is made of unspecified parts of unspecified animals, cooked into a goopy broth and used as a spray-on or is directly added to the liquid kibble mix), sorbic acid (a preservative), potassium chloride, dried carrots, dried peas (vegetables!!), calcium propionate (a preservative), L-Lysine monohydrochloride (known to hasten recovery from cold sores), choline chloride (an ammonium salt also added to chicken feed to accelerate growth), added color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6,
