Gamecocks beat Tigers in spirited game Softball clubs engage in annual rivalry By Wendy Pollitzer The Beaufort County Clemson and Carolina Clubs played their 2nd Annual Softball Game on Saturday at the Beaufort Academy Baseball Field. The Carolina Club beat the Clemson Club 31-9, another blowout for the Lowcountry Gamecocks. Last year, the Carolina Club also beat Clemson 16-4. The Gamecocks got an early lead with a 13-run rally in the bottom of the 1st inning. From that point, it was difficult for the Tigers to come up with more The Carolina Club: Corey Johnson, Chris Jones, Simons Hane, Jonathan Hutchinson, runs.

The headquarters, under the leadership of local residents Alison Davidow, Beth Young and Peg Schlichtemeier, is already breaking records for voter contact. In addition, it was announced that Beaufort resident Beth Young has been chosen to run the campaign field organization in Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties. She will be based at the Boundary Street office, which is open 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays. Call 843.379-3547.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Best4Beaufort supports Alternative 3 for basing the F-35B at MCAS Beaufort Best4Beaufort is pointing out that Alternative 3 is a much better option for Beaufort than Alternative 1 (the ‘preferred’ alternative) for basing the F-35B at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

flight operations per day. In addition, Alternative 1 projects an annual loss of $12.7 million in military payroll income for Beaufort. Alternative 3, supported by Best4Beaufort, would provide a $24.6 million increase in local military payroll.

Alternative 1 favors North Carolina. With Alternative 1, there will be a 71% increase in airfield operations in Beaufort. This will make Beaufort MCAS the fourth busiest airport in the Southeast, after Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami. There will be at least 290

The Marines decline to say what the noise increase will be. The large amount of thrust utilized by the F-35B will generate significant increases in noise compared to the F-18. Despite calling their voluminous document an Environmental Impact Statement, the

military did not provide noise levels. Citizens in other states where the Air Force is planning to install the F-35A (Tucson, Boise, South Burlington) have complained and won judgments. Their local politicians supported them. I think that if more citizens were to study the facts (or obfuscation by the military), they might also have concerns about the efficacy of this project.

Courtney McElveen Wins Scholarship from UDC

by Peggy Chandler

As you may recall in a previous article, I told you the story of the 3 men in a tub and their 4-hour adventure on a sand bar. These 3 men, Ernie Chandler, Don Hamilton, and Bob Sherard, along with 2 of their buddies Richard Bender and John Clark, were given a charter fishing trip as a Fathers Day gift. Well, the big day finally came, and the men were all very excited. One (Bob Sherard) was so excited that he rushed out wearing two very different shoes! Captain Wally took the men about 22 miles out where they fished around the “Betsy Ross” reef. I disclose the full names of the men in view of the fact that they had a very successful trip. All the fishermen caught Spadefish and Spanish mackerel; enough to provide and cook a tasty dinner for themselves and for their wives. Ernie caught at 450 lb shark and Bob caught a 35lb barracuda (they even have pictures to prove these fish stories)! The cost of finally catching a fish……Priceless! The wives of these 5 fishermen may plan a Priceless day at the spa! I now have another Tale to tell you about. A few months back, Zachary Taylor, the

Fall is time to revive your hair color scheme Courtesy of Salon 10

The summer is quickly winding down and a lot of us are in the backto-school mode. We all had a great time outdoors this summer, but our skin and hair have paid a price. Now is a great time to ask your stylist about in-salon, deep conditioning

treatments and a color glaze to replenish lost nutrients from sun and chlorine exposure. As autumn approaches, it’s an opportune time to revive and richen

your hair- color scheme to correspond with the latest color trends that work best for your fall wardrobe. Nature plays a tremendous role in determining the inspiration for all fashion. As the

leaves change, the sun gets lower and casts a longer shadow, warmer and deeper color tones can add contrast to our hair, mimicking what nature has provided for us. This allows your fall look to be complete and consistent, from head to toe!

School News Beaufort Academy Starts Fresh Year Monday With new students, new staff, a new trimester schedule and a new school year, there was a special buzz at Beaufort Academy for Monday’s first day. “I am so excited my stomach is doing flip flops,” said third grader Amelia Huebel. Her parents, Scott and Katie Huebel, shared a similar excitement to the end of summer vacation and the start of a new year at Beaufort Academy. “We are thrilled with the teachers and so excited to have both children in the same Lower School building,” Mrs. Huebel said. Monday’s half-day of classes marked the opening of the 2010-2011 school year at BA. Classes resumed two weeks later than usual because the school calendar switches this year to trimesters, with a three-week “Interim” between Thanksgiving and Christmas for unique learning opportunities. “I am excited about the first day, meeting new students, our new schedule, the trimesters and the options during the Interim,” said Madeline Griffith, a junior and vice present of Student Government at BA. This year’s first trimester will end before Thanksgiving and when students return, they’ll be in a three-week session of special learning opportunities called Interim. Students will participate in local internships with area businesses, agencies and professionals, develop community service projects, attend special career exploratory classes, work with artists and historians, and travel on extended field trips that couldn’t be arranged during the regular school year. Likewise, sophomores and juniors will take their school-sponsored tours of colleges and universities during the Interim. Though all students will have opportunities for travel and enrichment, students who desire additional academic assistance will find BA faculty ready to help during the interim. The buzz wasn’t all about Interim though. Brandon Massalon, a new ninth grade student at BA, said “I’m looking forward to football, making new friends and the

challenges of my classes.” Beaufort Academy is a private, college preparatory K-12 school on Lady’s Island that serves families from across the Lowcountry, primarily northern Beaufort County. “We had a great opening day and a great start to an exciting year,” Headmaster Randy Wall said Monday. “The kids are engaged, the staff is ready, and we’ve got some new things on tap such as Interim and the longer core classes. “Everyone, including the new students, picked up right where we ended last year. It’s exciting to watch the upperclassmen assume new leadership roles on the campus,” he said. The last school year brought strong results at BA. The Beaufort Academy Class of 2010’s 19 graduates amassed a collective scholarship fund over $2.2 million. Among last year’s graduates: · Julie Eckstrom received over $150,000 in scholarships from both Carnegie Mellon and Virginia Tech

· Ashton Byrne is attending The Citadel on a four-year Army ROTC Scholarship · Luke Hetherington is applying his National Merit Finalist Scholarship to attend Furman

· Nathaniel Rollings, a National Merit Finalist, received acceptances to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the Air Force Academy, as well as a four-year Army ROTC Scholarship to MIT. He chose West Point. Other members of the Class of 2010 received acceptances and scholarships from the Honors College at the College of Charleston, Davidson, Colgate, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Roanoke, Clemson, South Carolina, Tulane, Winthrop, Wofford, Mercer, Hawaii, Pace, LSU, and others. They combined with students from the Class of 2011 to take 68 Advanced Placement Exams last spring and score a passing rate of 75 percent with 21 percent scoring 3; 32 percent scoring 4; and 21 percent scoring 5. A score of 3 or higher usually results in college credit, saving time and money for the students and their parents. Last spring, Chris Huckabee, now a senior at BA, scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT, and Lily Westergaard, also a senior this year, earned an 800 in the SAT literature subject test.

Riverview Invests in its Teachers Riverview believes that the best way to spend its money is to invest in its teachers. While this may seem like common sense, it’s not typically how public or private schools choose to prioritize their budget. Textbooks, computer labs, and ball fields often win out, but at Riverview, that’s not the case. As board president Alison Thomas likes to say, “When we get it right in the classroom, the rest takes care of itself.”

worked with our staff since last January to design units that focus on high quality curriculum that infuses 21st century skills and teaches with the whole child in mind. All teachers were responsible for submitting three fully developed units by summer’s end. In addition, the Riverview teachers formed a professional development committee to collaboratively plan two weeks of training in August, based on the needs of the staff. Classes on technology, United Streaming, and Measures of Academic Progress were offered, as well as time to collaborate with teammates, specialists and other grade levels. Integration, curriculum mapping, and team building at Tulifinny Farm were also a part of the professional development experience.

Last year alone, our teachers logged over four thousand hours collectively in professional development training. This year is no exception. Teachers were charged with having to participate in three weeks of professional development this summer. Teachers could choose between attending the ASCD National Conference in Orlando, Florida, or they could meet individually with Associate Director, Jim Crawford, to develop their unit plans for the 2010 school year. Having taught Understanding by Design at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, Mr. Crawford brings expertise in unit planning and has Amy Sumner and Betsy Holloway

Each game is worth one point with the national championship being worth ten points. The person with the most points after the National Champs are crowned wins the whole thing. We will also announce a 2nd place and 3rd place winner. If the season ends in a tie, we will have a tiebreaker (total points of the national title game). Whoever is closest will be crowned the winner. At the end of the year, whoever has the best winning percentage will win a round of golf for 4 at a local golf course! So here goes nothing!

continued from page 1 The highlight of the day was in the 4th inning when Matt Phifer of the Gamecock team hit the ball over the fence for a 3-run homer! The team rushed to home plate to high-five and congratulate the heavy hitter. Trey Ambrose announced the game and added much-needed doses of humor for the Tiger team. And Mark Newberry and Mike Duncan officiated the 7-inning game. Ambrose, Newberry and Duncan were neutral parties who agreed at the beginning not to take sides. There weren’t any close calls for debate, however. It was an honest-to-goodness massacre! The Carolina Club consisted of team members: Corey Johnson, Chris Jones, Simons Hane, Jonathan Hutchinson, Matt Phifer, Huntley Duryea, Jeff O’Hare, Trey Nelson, Lorin Seigel, John Marvin Murdaugh, Neal McCarty, Phillip Lynn, Wade Brown, Kim Ackerman and Jim May. The Clemson Club consisted of team members: Alex Hill, Jim Thomas, Carl Derrick, Blair Williams, Jay Berry, Bud Martin, Abby Mitchell, Scott Lee, Robbie Ferguson, Travis Newton, Ryan Dilsaver, Kirk Taylor, Elizabeth Harding, Kim Harding Gallant and Yours Truly, Wendy Pollitzer.

Lowcountry Social Diary

Cheers to Jaimie! One of the great things about Beaufort is that there are a number Lanier Laney of watering holes around town where, like the T.V. show‘everybody knows your name,’ and in the case of several long time bartenders, also know what you drink before you have to say it. There’s Terry Guin at Breakwater, Jay at Emily’s, Doug at Plums, and Mo (with her trademark pigtails) at Hemingways, to name a few, and up until last Saturday night, there was Jaimie Bost at Saltus. Known for her always warm welcoming smile and ‘the best dimples in Beaufort.’ She is ending a five year stint there to go focus on school and finish a degree in Accounting. Her husband, Daniel, will remain at the bar, but I’m sure he’ll miss working every night beside his

lovely wife. (And Jaimie’s a beautiful person on the inside as well, as her legions of fans will attest.) She’s not leaving Beaufort though; so we will still see her around town. Said Jaimie “The staff and customers will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve met so many people over the past five years and it truly was a great experience. Aside from working side by side with my husband, I’ll miss Jason and Chris the most. These two always had me laughing and kept me on my toes! Thanks Saltus Family for the past five years, I’ll miss working with you!” Jaimie will continue her job at The Lowcountry National Bank, so you can still see her there. Is that a bit cooler air we are all feeling in the breeze? Must be from all the folks

Bar Buddies

silently praying for the crisp weather to return soon. As you’ve probably noticed from the stream of R.V.’s and towed boats that have been leaving town in swarms these past few weeks, Labor Day weekend traditionally marks the end of the ‘summer set’ of residents and tourists in Beaufort and the beginning of the return of the so-called ‘snow birds’ that make up the winter version of Beaufort society. Most don’t come back until late September/ October. But the ‘social tide’ started to turn this week with the Harrisons returning from New York and the McMillan family from their summer in Newport are among some of the early arrivals. Welcome home everybody! They are getting here just in time to hear about the hot topic with many of the ‘ladies who lunch’ around town.

Jamie and Daniel Bost

Seems that everybody’s hair these days is looking a lot smoother and feeling softer in this awful humidity because of the ‘Brazilian Blowout,’ (a new process that relaxes, while strengthening and transforming the texture of your hair) they are doing at Limelight Salon. “It’s a real miracle!” raved one socialite to me. “Perfect for the Lowcountry, as it fights the frizz,” said another. It’s exclusive to Limelight (on Carteret and Prince). Makes me wish I had some hair to try the stuff! Overheard at LT’s: “Beaufort is not trailing behind every other town in America like everybody thinks! I know for a fact we are #1 in ‘skeeters, cheaters, and overeaters’!”

News The Sky Is Not Falling, Not Today Anyway Come on outside Beaufort. I am fairly certain the sky is NOT falling, not today anyway. Although our heads have been less than delicately plucked Cherimie Crane from the clouds, the ground is willing to support the return of our feet. It was fun while it lasted, a time in recent history where a pulse guaranteed riches in real estate. The local restaurants were a buzz with Realtors, builders, and appraisers. We all had a friend, cousin,

or not too distant relative whose middle name was Developer. It was an unsustainable snowball rolling through the warm streets of our little coastal town. It melted. It is human nature to fondly remiss, romance the past, and damn the future. Truth is, we are all ok. Old dusty history books scattered throughout our equity depleted homes, are screaming through their unturned pages of times much more devastating. The sky didn't fall then either. CNN doesn't have a Waterfront Park. I have yet to run into the pundits from FOX

Voted Best in Beaufort!

News at Plums or Common Ground. Their not so local account of the real estate industry has many running for cover. Times are difficult, not impossible. You didn't look for a national weather report to determine whether or not to gas the boat, now did you? Chances are if it is raining in Atlanta, you will still be at the sandbar. Sellers, turn off the TV. Roll up your sleeves and pull some weeds. Just because we are no longer living in real estate fantasy, doesn't mean you have to prepare for Armageddon. Homes are selling. I swear. I see it everyday. Successful Realtors, yes they do exist, are working hard daily to navigate the rapids and get you to the

finish line. Buyers, so today is your day. Caution my friend, if we have learned anything it should be that times can and do change. Your warm spot on the fence will soon get quite uncomfortable and you too may be remembering a time in which the world sat at your feet. So come on outside Beaufort. Yes, we all got thumped by an acorn but it is time to look around. Our feathers are ruffled, but we do still have feathers. Stop believing everything you hear on the news, find new ways to reach your goals so you too don't get the Henny Penny blues.

Lunch Bunch Lunch Bunch After 5 Goes to Breakwater Restaurant The Ladies of the Lunch Bunch Fire Grilled Filet Mignon

So last week it was breakfast, and this week, supper? Is the Lunch Bunch growing tired of the midday meal? Blasphemy! We’ve just opted for alternative times of day, since some restaurants in town aren’t exposed to the lunch crowd, like Breakwater. Gary and Donna Lang and Beth Shaw, owners of Breakwater, graciously invited the Lunch Bunch for a casual and memorable meal, so we kindly accepted.

Sampler Platter

Blackened Mahi

Sampler Platter

Donna Lang, Director of the Dining Room and Events, escorted the Lunch Bunch into the Wine Room. Always cordial and accommodating, Donna welcomed the six of us and offered her assistance throughout the evening.

Ancho Chili Grilled NY Strip Medallions

Seasonal Salad

Drunken Duck Breast

Cornmeal Crusted Catfish Special

Iceburg Wedge Salad

The Must-Have’s from the Sampler Platters are (drum roll please) the infamous Pimento Cheese served with flatbread crackers and the Lowcountry Pickled Shrimp made with the traditional recipe of red onions, lemons, capers and local shrimp. These two really stood out among the Lunch Bunchers. And, they’re both favorites among the regulars as well. How do I know this? I’m a regular, of course!

Elizabeth started with a seasonal summer salad that featured local speckled butterbeans, corn and tomatoes marinated in lemon zest, evoo and sherry vinegar served over a toasted French Baguette. The salad accompanied her entrée, the Ancho Chili Grilled NY Strip Medallions, hand trimmed and served with buttermilk-mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and an espresso mushroom sauce. I ordered the Fire Grilled Filet Mignon, an 8 oz. barrel cut filet topped with caramelized onions and gorgonzola and served on top of rosemary grits and seasonal vegetables with a truffle demi glace.

Pecan Tart

Elizabeth and I were quite satisfied with our meat selections. The Earthquake Cabernet complemented both entrees nicely and was the perfect addition to the aromatic dishes.

Tuna Tartare

Black Peper Seared Beef Carpaccio The Island News

Executive Chefs Gary Lang and Beth Shaw immediately surprised us with two Southern Sampler Platters, clever teasers of any four tapas of your choice listed on the menu. Breakwater offered the Lunch Bunch eight delightful and tasty selections of Fried Shrimp and Oysters, Cured Salmon, Smoked Duck, Pickled Shrimp, Pimento Cheese, a Crab Stack and the Shrimp Salad.

It was time to choose our entrees from the menu. Elizabeth and I knew we were in the mood for red meat, so we agreed to share a bottle of wine. J.C. brought tasters of two fine Cabernets. We chose the Earthquake Cabernet from Lodi, California, a bold and intense red that was just as smooth as it was balanced.

Caesar with Shaved Country Ham Salad

The Lunch Bunch had the divine pleasure of dining at Breakwater Restaurant for a savory dinner and elegant experience at the upscale, but reasonably priced downtown bistro. We enjoyed a private, early evening meal in the distinguished Wine Room, where J.C., our server, delivered five-star hospitality and cuisine from the renowned local menu.

Cappuccino Creme Brulee

Christina and Kim opted for items from the Tapas menu. They chose Tuna Tartare, lime, soy and chili marinated sushi tuna served with an avocado salad, wasabi aioli, soy syrup and wanton crisps; the Drunken Duck Breast, pan seared and served with a mushroom risotto, a cherry brandy demi and drunken cherries; and

www.yourislandnews.com

lastly, the Black Pepper Seared Beef Carpaccio, a seared encrusted NY Strip served with Barefoot Farms arugula, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and truffle pecorino. Christina and Kim were overly pleased with their appetizers, large enough to be considered meals, in fact! Heather opted for the Iceberg Wedge Salad that was a prelude to her entrée, the Blackened Mahi. The Wedge of cold, crisp lettuce is topped with chopped bacon, Carolina sweet onions, tomatoes and Breakwater’s signature homemade blue cheese dressing. Her Mahi was local, of course, and was served with buttermilkmashed potatoes, spinach and crab beurre creole. Heather, like the rest of us, was also very delighted with her choices. And then, there was April, predictable April. As she requested dressing for her Caesar Salad with Shaved Country Ham, the table chuckled when she was denied Honey Mustard. J.C., our server, jokingly responded, “This isn’t Outback.” If I was at all concerned that this would offend April, I hope you know I wouldn’t write it. But April laughs, and confidently defends her conservative palette, “Hey, I know what I like, and I know what I don’t like. It works.” Well April fooled all of us. She won for Favorite Dish for the entire table! She opted for the Special Fresh Catch of the Day, a corn meal crusted panfried Catfish served over Carolina Rice with creole succotash. Oh my! We all sampled her plate and were equally convinced that it was the best thing we had put in our mouths all night. Any time you’re presented with a Special that the Chef has specifically prepared for the evening, you’ve got to know that it is his or her unique creation for which they’ve given terrific attention to detail. And this was no different. Chefs Shaw and Lang hit the ball out of the park with this entrée! We finished off the evening with a dessert sampler of Cappuccino Crème Brulee, a Key Lime Panna Cotta and a Pecan Tart. How we had any room at all for these delicious sweets, I’ve no idea; but, we ate each and every one with as much zest as we did with the appetizer samplers! These desserts were absolutely great and served with such panache! What an end to an incredible experience! When Donna, Gary and Beth invited the Lunch Bunch to dinner, we were anxious and excited. When we finished our meal, we were ecstatic, like children on Christmas Day. When all the gifts are unwrapped, the family sits around and enjoys each other’s smiles. When we ate our last bite, we sat around for quite some time and took pleasure in the moment. The staff at Breakwater is exceptional! They are professional, courteous and eager to deliver a quality product. In fact, they truly believe in their product, and it shows. I really can’t say enough about the superior service Breakwater demands of their employees. And, it’s delivered so effortlessly. The ambiance at Breakwater is relaxed and welcoming. It is truly an indigenous favorite, encompassing sustainable seafood and produce from local farmers, growers and fishermen. It is, in fact, on it’s way to becoming a Lowcountry Institution. Thank you Donna, Gary, Beth, Taylor, J.C. and Kendra for a perfectly marvelous affair! We thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine and were appreciative of your Southern Hospitality!

Finally, Finally - A Chardonnay

c Sele Best Best Ser

All Liquor Stores Are NOT Created Equal.

Come Experience The Difference!

It’s not often that we’ve talked about Chardonnay. Partly because we’ve all drunk so many of them over the years that another one is just that - another one. But, too, there are so many many many other wines to find and taste and learn about and drink instead of another Chardonnay. You can see where the phrase “ABC - Anything But Chardonnay” got started and how it was sustained for years. And, then, when you least expect it, here comes a Chardonnay that maybe we shouldn’t miss. First, though, we should probably get acclimated to where our wine for this week comes from. Another “we haven’t talked about much” - Washington state. Wines from Washington state are truly products of there environment. This means for sure soil and climate, maybe more than a lot of other areas, but, further, their commitment to making their style of wines and not copying other area’s styles. The premium wine industry began in Washington state in the 1960’s. Before that, there were lots of wines made there, but not from vinifera wine grapes. Washington has for years grown lots of fruits so their wines used to be cherry, pear, and one that I loved when I got to

taste it years ago, cranberry. Now, the majority of their vineyards are planted east of the Cascade mountain range, an area that includes the Yakima and Walla Walla valleys. The vineyards run along the 46th and 47th parallels, which makes them comparable to the latitudes of Bordeaux and Burgundy in France. The amount of sunlight that the grapes get in these vineyards is actually about two hours more a day than in California. This is because of their more northern location and the curve of the earth. More sun, as we know, means more flavor development in the grapes as they ripen. And more grape flavors means more wine flavors for us! Despite more hours of sun, though, daily temperatures are lower and nights are chilly. This combination of warm days, cooler nights, up and down temperatures all through the growing season also make for more flavors and textures in the grapes. More for us again! The one thing that is difficult in Washington is the amount of rainfall in the vineyards. Unlike Seattle where we’ve all heard there’s rain almost everyday, the eastern side of the Cascades is protected from the moisture coming off the Pacific. This means a really low rainfall. This helps the grapes avoid humidity that causes rot, disease and pests. But growing plants need enough water so growers are allowed to irrigate or sprinkle their vineyards. But,

this is a very controlled amount of water to help nature along. By meeting minimal needs of the grapes, we get good grape sizes and concentration of flavors and balance in our wines. For soil content, sandy loam is prevalent in eastern Washington. Geologically, it got there starting about 15,000 years ago when flooding carried silt and sand from across the region into these valleys. This is perfect for good drainage, which grapes need to grow well. When you think about all of this, Washington vineyards are really quite different from those of California. Once we know that Washington is different, we have to figure that certain grape varieties grow better there than some others. And the wine styles they produce will be different too. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Semillon, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, some Sangiovese and, Lemberger all thrive in Washington. But, don’t expect them to taste like Napa or Central Coast or other areas’ wines. Now, finally, finally, our wine today comes from Hogue Cellars. This winery was founded in 1982 by Mike and Gary Hogue. It is located in the Columbia Valley. They chose this location because, as we now

SCHUG SWANSON CHANDON FOU know, the soilsFRANCISCAN and climate there produce MAV CARNEROS grapes with intense fruit flavors and high 99 $ 97 $ 97 $ $ 23acidity 1297This$13 1 natural levels. gives their17 wines a liveliness ESTANCIAand ripe, zesty fruit flavors, all TO H Black & White of which makes them good matches for a Scotch 97 1.75lt wide$8 range of foods. $16.99 Their “reserve” level $ of wines is distinctly different from their 132 Sea Island Parkway . 522-3700 other wines. “Reserve” is the designation they give to their best wines, the ones that come from vineyards that get more attention from their growers and more attention to the wines in their cellars before we get them. The Reserve Chardonnay is made from grapes chosen from special blocks and vineyards. The wine is aged “sur lie” and during the months of barrel aging it develops richness and complexity. It has aromas of pear, peach, heavy cream and integrated oak toast. The flavors continue with the pear and peach and cream in a rich and unctuously textured wine. A hint of pineapple creeps in on the finish too. Thinking food? This wine is perfect with rich seafood - crab, sea bass, lobster, king salmon and fresh shrimp. Sounds to me like its made for us. And, guess what! We don’t have to pay the regular price of $20 to $25 dollars. We get this wine for just under $10. But, of course we do, it is made for us! I see alot of good seafood in my future. With the perfect wine with it. You too? Enjoy! PINOT NOIR 750 ML

Have you ever thought about what would happen? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you, or a member of your family, were no longer able to live independently? What if your elderly parents were no longer able to drive or perform basic activities of daily living, such as bathing or toileting? Would you or another family member be able to provide the care they might need? With longer life expectancies for both men and women, it is likely that you or someone close to you may eventually need some type of long term care (LTC). While it may be difficult to contemplate, LTC planning is important. Start by considering common options for receiving and funding care. Family: Sometimes parents assume their children will take care of them in their old age, and although children may have the desire to do as much as they can, certain factors need to be considered. Will your children have the strength, time, and financial freedom to give you the care you need? Do they possess medical training? As you plan, it is important to consider your family, your gender, your medical history, and personal health risks, and then to honestly assess whether your children will be able to take care of you. Public Programs: Most people underestimate the cost of LTC and overestimate the funding that will be available through public programs and private health insurance. Currently, there is no government program specifically designed to cover LTC expenses. Medicare

may cover some nursing home or assisted living costs, but only for “skilled care” that is deemed medically necessary for the duration of an illness, usually limited to 100 days following a three-day hospital stay. As a result, Medicaid has become the primary source of public funding for LTC. However, because Medicaid is a program designed to help those in financial need, families must “spend down” their personal assets before they qualify for public assistance. Personal Assets: In order to meet LTC expenses that exceed Medicare and Medicaid, you may be able to use personal assets, such as retirement funds, trust funds, or education savings. Real estate can be sold, if necessary; however, real estate is a a non-liquid asset, and forced sales can have negative consequences. Permanent life insurance offers cash values that may be borrowed against the policy; however, tapping into a policy’s equity may reduce the policy’s death benefit, increase the chance that the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy is terminated before the death of the insured. Insurance: Insurance can offer protection in some cases. Disability income insurance may replace a portion of your income if you are unable to work due to an accident or illness, but this coverage is designed to be temporary, and it is not available once you retire. Health insurance may help pay for skilled care, but not chronic, custodial, or long term care.

Long term care insurance (LTCi), on the other hand, can help with the expenses of home care, nursing home or assisted living facility, or adult day care. LTCi can help minimize the financial risk associated with extended care and help eliminate uncertainty for your family. Of course, it’s difficult to prepare for the possibility that you or someone you love may one day need LTC. We simply don’t know what the future holds. But, planning today for an uncertain tomorrow may help preserve your family’s assets, increase options for care, and perhaps most importantly, bring you and your loved ones comfort.

B3C Hosts Final Forum and Photo Exhibition on September 10th Beaufort Three-Century Project (B3C) will host two special events in one evening—the wrap up community forum as part of Ancestors to Future Generations: Look Back, Look Forward Beaufort and an opening reception for the photography exhibition— Hands Across Beaufort. The events will be held from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 10, 2010 in MacLean Hall (Building 12) at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, 921 Ribaut Road, Beaufort. Both are free and open to the public. From 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. the lobby of TCL’s Building 12 will be transformed into an art gallery featuring the B3C project—Hands Across Beaufort. Award winning photographer, Sandy Dimke, spent the first six months of 2010 focusing her camera lens on 100 people’s hands… hands making chocolate, delivering meals, graduating from Parris Island, reading, heading shrimp and so much more. Each photograph has a written description, but the strong visual images tell the story. After the opening, the exhibition will move to the second floor of the Beaufort County Library at 311 Scott Street where it will be on display from September 13 – October 15 during regular library hours, 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Monday –Thursday; 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Friday –Saturday, Closed on Sunday. Refreshments will be served during the September 10th reception at TCL.

The Island News

“For Beaufort’s 300th birthday,I wanted to celebrate my adopted town in a unique fashion. For almost 10 years I have created thousands of photographic images that attest to the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. That was easy. This year it was important for me to celebrate the hopes and dreams of the people who make Beaufort beautiful,” said Dimke in her artist’s statement.

Therapy comes in all forms: Each month, Janey Lackman and her basset hound, Mary Elvis, bring love to the participants in the Alzheimer Day Care Program. In this photo, World War II nurse/veteran, Lee O’Brien pets Mary Elvis, and her hands bring her back to life once more.

Following the reception, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., the final forum in the Look Back, Look Forward initiative will take a slightly different tack than previous events in this series. The evening will begin with presentations on three separate topics

that share the common theme that each represents something that is uniquely Beaufort. Then, the audience will be asked to contribute information on significant events in Beaufort’s history on any topic to the 300year timeline, followed by a facilitated community discussion on what this means for the future. “This is the granddaddy of all B3C forums,” said project coordinator Deborah Johnson. “What comes out of this community conversation will frame the vision for the future that the project will presents to the city at the tricentennial in January,” said Johnson. The first presentation will be on the history of Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services. Thomas Barnwell, founding Director and Roland Gardner, current Executive Director, will chart the history of this truly best-kept-secret in Beaufort. “When talking about Comp Health to newcomers to the area, I often ask— where were you in 1969 or 1970 and was a significant portion of your community suffering from poverty, malnutrition, intestinal worms and diseases such as scurvy, pellagra, and others thought to no longer exists in the United States?” said Johnson. At that time on Capitol Hill, Beaufort was at the forefront of a national debate on public health, malnutrition, and poverty. Out of that debate came the founding of what is today known a Beaufort-JasperHampton Comprehensive Health Services. “What Comp Health has done, and continues to do, to provide health care to all people of the region is truly phenomenal,” said Johnson. “It is one of those entities where you may drive by one of the offices and not think much about it until you get that ‘aha’

moment and recognize that this is an organization that has dramatically changed Beaufort for the better.” The second presentation will be Boating History – The Heart and Soul of Beaufort. As part of Beaufort ThreeCentury Project, a tenmember committee of the Beaufort Sail and Power Squadron spent months researching the rich history of boating and boating education in Beaufort. They will highlight key aspects of this history through a fascinating visual program on boats in Beaufort. Some of the research was displayed on Bay Street during Water Festival and attracted so much attention that the group has now been asked to speak to other organizations along the coast. The Beaufort Sail and Power Squadron is a unit of the United States Power Squadron, a nationwide organization of boating enthusiasts. They are dedicated to providing a safe boating education, social activities and civic services to our community. The Squadron shares common interests in both sail and power boating. Beaufort’s Squadron will celebrate its 50th Anniversary January 14, 2011.

Dance, Teach, Love—The Legacy of Byrne Miller by writer and filmmaker

www.yourislandnews.com

Teresa Bruce will be the final presentation. Bruce writes, “When I was in my early twenties, I leaped into the strange landscape of the Deep South with a troubled, half-Mexican surfer boyfriend at my side. It took an octogenarian modern dancer, herself and ex-pat from New York City, to teach me the steps to independence. Our dance together was part rebellion, part laughter and a grand finale of love.” Byrne Miller brought modern dance to Beaufort with a flair and style like none other. Bruce will share the story of Byrne Miller Dance Theatre and the role it played in Beaufort’s art and cultural history. Following the presentations, the second half of the program will be audience generated. Topics and events of significance will be documented and a facilitated forum will focus on the questions: What is important to remember, preserve, and honor? What do we value as Beaufortonians? What do we want Beaufort to be in the future? This project is sponsored in part by The Humanities Council SC, a program of the National Endowment of the Humanities.

Mission: In recognition of the 300th anniversary of the City of Beaufort’s charter, the Beaufort Three-Century Project taps our community’s cultural memory through a three-year process of exploration, studies, and special events that honor the past to better chart the future, culminating with the tricentennial celebration on January 17, 2011.

One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa, Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Introducing a new column from Wendy Pollitzer: Weekend Getaways, Destinations 4 hours or less from Beaufort, SC

By Wendy Pollitzer

I was recently invited south to the Beaches of Jacksonville, Florida and found sand and sun in one of Florida’s surfing mecca’s. On the shore of Atlantic Beach, I was a guest at Northeast’s Florida’s newest beachfront boutique resort, One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa, owned by REMINGTON HOTELS. Formerly the Sea Turtle Hotel, One Ocean opened in May of 2008 after two years of a 25 million dollar renovation. One Ocean is the first in a luxury line from REMINGTON HOTELS labeled “The Gallery Collection,” which you’ll understand while exploring the varied artwork throughout the property. Mesmerized by a beautiful waterfall that greeted me as I drove through the portico, I was immediately awed with the precise attention to detail at this resort. Dan, the valet, explained the seamless check-in, graciously took my bags and introduced me to Gerald, my Bellman. Gerald escorted me to my 7th Floor Oceanfront room and quickly opened the drapes revealing miles of the Atlantic Ocean. I walked out on the balcony, looked to my left and right and thought, ‘I am at peace.’ This also made me realize how artificial the “sound machines” we have on our bedside tables are. Give the real waves crashing off of your balcony a chance, and you’ll agree! Now, I was relaxed and ready to enjoy my experience at the artful and relaxing getaway. Gerald informed me that my personal concierge would be arriving soon. Within two minutes, Christine rang the bell to my room and introduced herself as the 7th Floor Docent. The term, “docent” is derived from the conception of the “Gallery Collection,” as a docent is a personal gallery guide. My doting docent, Christine, was an intuitive hostess. She asked if she could adjust my dinner reservations, noticing that I was a couple hours behind my intended arrival time. She called Azurea, the restaurant downstairs and extended my reservations to 8pm. She then asked if my dinner outfit needed pressing. “As a matter of fact, it does,” I replied. And then, she asked if my refrigerator was stocked to my liking. I opened the door, and found Diet Cokes, Perrier bottles and Nature Valley Granola Bars, just as I requested on my guest preferences online survey a week prior. Christine was one touch away on my phone. If she wasn’t available, another doting docent was available 24/7. It was truly an impressive service. And later, I found out there was also a Pool Docent, who was happy to bring sunscreen, cold towels, and make reservations for biking, kayaking, horseback riding or surfing on the beach. These Docents were welleducated, hospitable and sincere

employees notably proud to work at One Ocean. Christine left, and I had a moment to myself. I looked on the desk and found a personalized note to Ms. Pollitzer from Tianna Meyer, the Guest Historian at One Ocean. She welcomed me to my room, and once again let me know that she would be of assistance if I needed anything. It was a little added touch that put the icing on the cake. As a graduate from Clemson University in Tourism Management, we learned that these “little extras” truly make a lasting impact on the visitor. And, it did. I kept it as a memento. I changed clothes and walked down to the beautifully decorated lobby, adorned with soft blue and green accents. I sat at the bar, and the bartender introduced himself. Hugh Thompson, Northeast Florida’s Bartender of the Year in ’09 and ’10 was charming, good-looking, and One Ocean’s unofficial host. I ordered his specialty drink,“Hugh’s Your Daddy,” a cocktail of Myers Dark, Bacardi Light and Malibu Rums, blended with an organic sour mix, a splash of pineapple, Maraschino cherry juice, and topped with fresh plums and peaches. Wow! It was dynamite! I had three. (Hey, I was on vacation!) Hugh was an extremely personable guy. He bragged about his sons, and rightfully so. Two (of four), Cody and Evan, are professional surfers for Team Billabong and are ranked Top 50 worldwide. Hugh talked about Jacksonville’s nostalgic surfing days, when Ray “Taco” Henson ruled the beach and Pete’s Bar (still a local favorite) was THE social scene! He also told me the story about John Grisham visiting One Ocean. The popular author wrote about the resort in his novel, The Bretheren. Grisham is an annual visitor with his son’s traveling baseball team, and made note of his preferred hotel on Atlantic Beach in the author’s legal thriller. After a delightful conversation with Hugh, I headed to Azurea for dinner. Gillian welcomed me to the dining room and escorted me to my table where TJ, my server, took over the hospitality. After placing the black napkin in my lap, TJ eloquently described the specials of the evening. I opted for the Atlantic Mahi, prepared with a localvore flavor. Localvore is a term used by Chef Ted Peters and a trend among chefs nationwide. Almost all ingredients are natural or organic, and chefs tend to support local farmers and fishermen within a 150-mile radius to promote the regional economy. After dinner, I strolled to the ultra hip lounge and ordered a cocktail. Many locals were patronizing the bar. They told me it was a local favorite. I could understand

why. Not only is the lounge right on the beach, but it’s also staffed with (wouldn’t you know) professional and courteous bartenders. Jason waited on me, and was incredibly amiable and informative. He (like Christine, Dan, Gerald, Gillian, TJ and Hugh) spoke highly of the Resort while earnestly participating in conversation. I can’t speak enough about the staff at One Ocean. When Traci, the group Sales Manager gave me a property tour the following day, I specifically asked about the staff. “It seems, Traci, that Management takes extra good care of their employees here at One Ocean,” I commented. “What makes it so different than other Resorts?” She didn’t hesitate, “Our Managing Director, Sileshi Mengiste (also VP of the Luxury Division for REMINGTON HOTELS) meets every employee face to face before hiring them. He wants to make sure that the person has the proper demeanor. He meets everyone from dishwashers to Docents, and plays an active role in the hiring process.” Well, Mr. Mengiste, your precision for service detail is paying off. I compliment you for your gift of choosing a superior staff. Traci gave an exceptional tour. She introduced the Spa, boasting gorgeous views of the Atlantic and offering over 40 marine-inspired rituals comprised of specialty treatments, unique massage styles, body wraps, peels, facials and so much more. The separate men’s and women’s lounges were specifically designed to ensure a comfortable experience for all. I couldn’t help but notice ladies, that the women’s lounge was about four times as large as the men’s complete with a soothing whirlpool tub, perfect for a girl’s getaway or pamper-me shower! I could go on and on about the amenities of the Resort. The website, www. oneoceanresort.com is a terrific host of information and photos of the resort’s fitness facility, kid’s club room, spa, guest services, lounges, restaurant and activities. It also lends helpful assistance to those planning a wedding or meeting for a large group. One Ocean Resort Hotel and Spa was fabulous! Seeing, of course, is believing. When you arrive at One Ocean, you’ll agree with their promotion, “An authentic, intuitive and elegant experience awaits.” Thank you to the staff at One Ocean for a memorable stay. Your professionalism was noted, and I now pass my nod of approval to the residents of Beaufort, SC. A message for Beaufort: When you visit One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa in Jacksonville, don’t forget to tell the Front Desk that Wendy sent you!

BowWOW! Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends Salmonella: Pathogen Du Jour By Tracie Korol

This week’s daily news segments about millions of salmonellatainted eggs coming from US factory farms prompted me to make what I thought would be a casual scan of internet information concerning the causes and results. The search led me through very formal, informational sites of the FDA and the CDC but also to interesting sites where pathogenesis can be fun (!). Dr. Douglas Powell, professor of Pathobiology at Kansas State University writes an amusing barfblog http://barfblog. foodsafety.ksu.edu/barfblog with enough solid salmonella information to cause you to pay serious attention to what you eat, where you shop and what you touch. Bottom line: salmonella is a nasty little germ. It appears to live quite happily all over the place. The trick to avoiding contact appears to be due diligence in food handling and plain old common sense. As you know, I am a proponent for feeding dogs real food as much as it is financially feasible. And as you know, I think kibble, even the best, is still fast food processed from creamed mysterious body parts and chemicals in factories that may or may not have good cleaning crews. If you are a reasonably tidy sort and you personally manage what foods go into your family—and your dog is family, too—then you can be fairly content knowing that salmonella is probably not going to be an issue. If your food

came from a reputable source (hopefully, a local farm), if you handle it properly and prepare it well, whether you choose to feed raw or choose to cook for your Best Friend, you should not be faced with the symptoms. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. But know that infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If you’re unsure, a trip to the vet couldn’t hurt.

Store kibble in a sealed container out of reach of children

My personal salmonella horror movie occurred in my first year of kenneling when, for a treat, I gave each guest a pig ear from the great big bag from Costco. When I opened the door to the kennel the next morning—though, not too much of a surprise given the aroma of the outer office—all 22 dogs had exploded in the night, all ports. Totally my fault and a lesson learned the absolute hardest way and before I even had a cup of coffee. All dogs came through well and were feeling better by bedtime but I now caution folks about giving preserved random animal parts to their pets for “treats”.

Pick up your dog’s poop and always wash your hands with soap and warm water afterward

The whole food vs. pathogen contamination comes down to common sense and good hygiene practices when handling your dog’s food:

She is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog. biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

Store raw food in the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator

Don’t allow children to handle the dog’s food. If they do, make sure they wash their hands afterward Properly wash hands, all bowls, utensils and contact surfaces after handling the dog’s food (kibble or raw) Limit time raw food is held at room temperature during feeding to less than 2 hours and dispose of food left out for periods longer than this

Note: In my pathogen search I also came across a list of dog foods and dog vitamins recalled in the last month, too, also because of salmonella contamination. Apparently, toxic eggs trump toxic dog products in the daily news cycle. If you’re curious what has been recalled, send me a note and I’ll share what I discovered. BowWOW!
