LOCAL CHURCH BUYS BOWLING ALLEY TO BRING
september 19-25, 2013
WHAT’S INSIDE?
love back to the lanes By Pamela Brownstein
The dedication service of the new Love House Community Bowling Center on Monday, Sept. 16, was more of a celebration. When the Community Worshippers performed, singers were backed by drums and a keyboard, and dancers dressed in red and white excited the people packed into the bowling alley on Ribaut Road. The “Halleluiahs” were contagious, and soon the crowd of more than 100 was clapping along. Those in attendance represented the diversity and vibrancy of Beaufort — young and old, black and white — and were all there to support Love House Ministries in its acquisition of the bowling alley to create a safe place for the community to gather and have fun. The event welcomed local officials and elected representatives as well as religious leaders, brought together by Senior Pastor Randy Roberts.

ABLE Foundation ornament available ABLE Foundation, the Disabilities Foundation for Beaufort County, announced the release of its annual ornament. It is the fourth in a commemorative series featuring favorite Lowcountry scenes. The 2013 ornament features a dolphin and can also be used as a medallion. It was created locally and was commissioned from Buf ’s in Beaufort. The annual ornaments have been a traditional fundraiser for the ABLE Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports services and programs assisting individuals with special needs. ABLE’s efforts in the recent past
and this year have been to fund Camp Treasure Chest, a summer camp for children with special needs. Children with needs such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome,
genetic disorders and autism may require additional and special services and trained staff and accommodations, not usually available at regular summer camps. In the absence of the Camp Treasure Chest, these special needs children would likely not have a summer camp experience. Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated and the camp is almost solely supported through fund raising and grants. All proceeds from the sale of ornaments go to support Camp Treasure Chest. ABLE continued on page 18

Three new traffic signals set to light up Charles Street intersections New traffic signal masts are scheduled to be installed by late October along Beaufort’s Charles Street intersections with Boundary, Craven and Bay streets, according to the S.C. Department of Transportation. The project — including the doublearm mast poles and installation — is under contract with Walker Brothers. As soon as steel rebar for the pole foundations is delivered, installation
will begin, the SCDOT told Beaufort City leaders. The cost of the project is more than $300,000 but with cost-sharing between SCDOT, Beaufort County traffic engineering and the city of Beaufort, the city’s share is $55,009. “This is part of our overall fall road improvement work by the DOT, and we’ll be glad when the work is done,” said Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson.
“They did an amazing job repaving downtown Bay Street in less than two days, but we’ve had some scheduling issues that have kept everyone hopping. Installing these new signal arms along Charles Street will make a big difference along that important corridor,” he said. The new traffic signal masts are designed to be sturdier, more attractive and less prone to wind damage than the older, cable-hung signals.
Vehicle break-ins plaguing Beaufort County In light of a rash of car break-ins and thefts throughout the county, the Sheriff ’s Office encourages citizens to secure their vehicles. Vehicle owners throughout the county are waking up each morning to discover that unknown suspect(s) have made entry to their vehicles and stolen property from them overnight. The Sheriff ’s Office has fielded dozens of these types of reports just over the last week, from neighborhoods spanning the entire county. With only a very few exceptions, these victims’ vehicles showed no sign of forced entry, with most reporting that they had left their cars unlocked at the times the thefts occurred. These
thefts have occurred both inside gated communities and in non-controlled access neighborhoods. Last week alone, deputies have responded to multiple reports in the Southern part of the county in both Oldfield and Westbury Park. North of the Broad River, the communities of Distant Island and Mink Point have been targeted. Multiple neighborhoods on Lady’s Island have sustained vehicle breakins within recent weeks, and again, the majority of these vehicles have been left unlocked. Residents and visitors in our area are asked to help us deter these crimes of opportunity by securing their vehicles and property. When leaving vehicles
unattended, make sure windows are up and doors are locked. Refrain from leaving behind keys and/or items of value, as they may entice would-be thieves to pursue forced entry. If you must leave valuables in your vehicle, concealing them in a locked compartment or trunk is recommended. Any noted suspicious person(s) or activity should be reported immediately by contacting the Beaufort County Dispatch Center at 843-524-2777. Make the call, stay anonymous, earn a reward: To report crime, citizens can call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC (274-6372) or text the word TIPSC with a message to CRIMES (274637).

Questioning Beaufort County’s handling of the budget, taxes The Beaufort County School District volunteered to reduce its operations tax mills from the 100.55 mils approved on June 24 to 91.26 mils. A 9.2% reduction resulting in less taxes on vehicles, non-owner occupied homes and businesses. This was because county government’s reassessment tax base computation was later found to be low. Where is the corresponding reduction in Beaufort County’s whopping tax increases? On June 24, county voted to increase their operations tax mils 15.6%; debt service by 23.4%; and land purchases by 12.1%. By comparison, the School District Operations was up only 10.2%, and now is only up 6.8%. Both the county and the district have the same tax assessment base. Why aren’t county mil reductions on the table? On top of this problem, the county’s budget presentations
in June were very confusing. Look at the mess they created in the library “additional hours” where the chairman of the Finance Committee was saying one thing and the County Administrator another just before the final vote. Council members and the public thought library hours were increased, but recently we learn otherwise. Why does the Finance Committee Chair present the county budget? That should be the responsibility of the county administration with the County Council having approval authority. Council needs to stop micro-managing. Council responsibility is to set policy and ensure it is enforced. They fail at both. In 2014 we need to elect new council members who understand policy establishment and enforcement.

LOWCOUNTRY BROIL Taking issue with the maintenance of certain buildings
Look how well “our” federal properties are so well maintained: our three military bases, the National Cemetery, the Federal Court House on Bay Street (they must mow that lawn twice a week and paint the court house every six months and it is not even occupied). Now good friends, have you visited the U.S. Post Office on Charles Street, inside and out, over the last number of years? Probably. It is almost incredible how the main guy in charge has done zilch to maintain the parking areas, the brick pavers leading in and even inside the filthy floor and overflowing trash cans. Outside, the weeds never get mowed, the dead shrubs just exist and larger weed bushes pose as would be shrubbery. Grass grows amongst the entrance tiles and years of unwanted dirt and trash cover the parking lot. Palmetto trees are a state treasure and do need to be “cleaned-out” every couple of years. Looks like never. Maybe the break room is super nice. The saving grace, however, is the friendly and efficient staff inside at the main counter. This travesty goes way back long before anyone around here learned what sequestration means.
Did you get a boot on your car parking downtown or is the traffic light on your street ridiculously slow? Or would you like to thank a stranger for a random act of kindness? Here’s your chance to sound off. Send your comments to LowcountryBroil@gmail.com and you could see them in the paper. 2

Exchange Club names 2013 Officer of the Year The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is pleased to recognize its own Corporal Joseph W. Michaud as the recipient of the annual Exchange Club Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award. Corporal Michaud was presented with his award during the 9/11 memorial ceremony at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort. Beginning his law enforcement career in July of 2005 in the Sheriff ’s Office Southern Enforcement Division, Cpl. Michaud immediately proved to be extremely proactive and
diligent in his duties, eagerly assisting with special assignments to include proactive enforcement. He also worked closely with the Southern Criminal Investigations Section and the Drug Investigations Section to help bring about numerous arrests and convictions as well as the recovery of stolen property for numerous Beaufort County citizens. Since his assignment to the Drug Investigations Section, Cpl. Michaud has played a critical part in, and acted as lead investigator in numerous high-profile drug cases that resulted in the seizures of
Shrimp-baiting season opens in S.C. waters The 2013 shrimp-baiting season opened at noon Friday, Sept. 13 in South Carolina waters. Mild winter weather allowed good numbers of overwintering white shrimp to spawn in the spring, producing at least average numbers of shrimp available for fall harvest, but heavy rainfall and river runoff during the summer has washed small shrimp down into some coastal areas. Recreational shrimpers who purchase a shrimp-baiting license can legally cast their nets for shrimp over bait during this season. Shrimp-baiting season will remain open until noon Tuesday, Nov. 12. The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) opens the shrimp-baiting season annually on the last Friday on or before Sept. 15 each year. The shrimp-baiting season lasts 60 days, resident licenses cost $25 and non-residents licenses cost $500. The catch limit is 48 quarts of shrimp measured heads-on (29 quarts headsoff ) per boat or set of poles per day, and each boat is limited to a set of 10 poles. When taking shrimp over bait, no cast net may be used having a mesh smaller than one-half inch square measure or one inch stretch measure. Post-season mail surveys conducted every year since 1988 indicate that
recent total catches have been less than 1 million pounds per season (heads on) after peaking at more than 3.6 million pounds in 1997. Despite the decline in total catch, catch per trip has remained relatively stable, averaging about 20-22 quarts per trip since 2001. The stable catch-per-trip suggests that shrimp abundance has remained relatively good, but fewer licenses and shrimping trips are resulting in a lower overall harvest. Recent sampling by DNR’s Crustacean Monitoring Program caught fair numbers of shrimp along the southern coast and average quantities near Charleston, according to Larry DeLancey, program supervisor, but overall size is smaller than usual. Areas around Port Royal and St. Helena sounds produced the largest shrimp. Rainfall and river levels have lessened lately, but shrimpers should target lower areas in the estuary to avoid smaller shrimp, DeLancey advised. DNR Law Enforcement Division in Charleston advised baiters not to have bait or poles in a boat that is in the water before noon on Friday, Sept. 13. The public is asked to report violations of saltwater recreational and commercial fishing laws by calling the Coast Watch hotline number (1-800-922-5431) tollfree, 24 hours a day.

He specifically requested to learn the process of investigating the fraud and illegal sale of prescription drugs, which has resulted in the arrest and successful prosecution of numerous defendants in Beaufort and Jasper counties. In 2013, Cpl. Michaud was the primary investigator during a joint investigation with the Drug Enforcement Administration that resulted in 25 federal indictments throughout Beaufort County. This case was significant because it involved
prescription drugs that were being distributed illegally in Beaufort County. Cpl. Michaud’s level of expertise, professionalism and dedication are exemplary, and his genuine team spirit has been evident as he trains and spends time with follow team members. He has played an important role in the success of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigations Section, and with more than seven years of law enforcement experience, continues to impart strength to any assignment with which he is tasked.
news briefS Drug arrest made at St. Helena Island home
On September 10, drug investigators with the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, along with the members of the U.S. Marshal Service and Beaufort Police Department arrested Erick Kadeem Blash on outstanding warrants and drug charges. At approximately 1 p.m., contact was made with Blash at a residence located at 230 Seaside Road, St. Helena. While taking Blash into custody, marijuana was observed in plain view. The residence was secured and a search warrant was obtained. Upon the execution of the search warrant, investigators located additional quantities of marijuana, as well as MDMA, a small amount of cocaine and drug paraphernalia. In addition to being served with the outstanding bench and arrest warrants, Blash was also charged with offenses related to the items located and seized during the search warrant.
County sends out reassessment notices
The Beaufort County Assessor’s office mailed all tax year 2013 countywide reassessment notices last week. If a property owner would like to appeal the value on the reassessment notice, they must do so within 90 days. All appeals must be signed and either mailed or dropped off at any of the Assessor’s three office’s (Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island) by December 11, 2013. Failure to file on a timely basis within the appeal period constitutes a waiver of the owner’s right of appeal for the current 2013 tax year. According to South Carolina Code of Laws 12-43-217(A): once every fifth year each county or the State shall appraise and equalize those properties under its jurisdiction. Property valuation must be complete at the end of December of the fourth year and the county or State shall notify every taxpayer of any change in value or classification if the change is one thousand dollars or more. In the fifth year, the county or State shall implement the program and assess all property on the newly appraised values.
“An important role of the Beaufort County Assessor’s Office is to establish fair market value for all real property in Beaufort County, which helps to ensure that the property tax burden is shared fairly and equally,” said Beaufort County Assessor Ed Hughes. For more information on this year’s reassessment, go to www.bcgov.net and click on “Reassessment” slider in the middle of the homepage. There you will find the Citizens Guide to the 2013 Reassessment. Due to the anticipated heavy call volume, we encourage taxpayers to use the resources available on the Beaufort County website.

It’s crucial to set aside time to sleep By Danette Vernon
If you live to be 90 you will have slept away 32 years of your life. This stat may bring out the hedonist in you and have you singing — as many musicians have in the past — “I’ll sleep when I’m dead!” Musicians need to be wary of all of those late nights. Experts say that creativity is enhanced three fold by a good night’s sleep. Russell Foster, circadian neuroscientist, points out that it’s not just the young at heart that dispute the importance of sleep. He quotes Wall Street’s sneer at leisure time, “Money never sleeps!” and Margaret Thatcher’s contemptuous, “Sleep is for wimps!” Statistics support our overall societal dismissal of setting aside time to sleep. In 1950 Americans got an average of 8 hours of sleep a night. Today the average is 6.5. How wrong we are! Sleep is so much more than an indulgence. Russell Foster noted that poor judgment and distraction from a lack of sleep (shift work), played a part in the Challenger explosion and Chernobyl. So while you’re most likely not going to blow something up or go down in history, thanks to your kids crying late last night and keeping you awake, a

You may start to crave carbs, chronic lack of sleep does more than put one on the path for inattentive driving. Authorities agree that a persistent lack of sleep can lead to premature aging. Going without your nightly “40 winks” interferes with the growth hormone production which is a part of reaching a deep sleep. Sleep deprivation may contribute to a lowered immune system, accelerate tumor growth, and can cause a pre-diabetic state. Going without the proper amount of sleep can lead to diabetes, as not getting enough rest changes your brain chemistry. You may start to crave carbs, particularly sugars (this process increases your likelihood of being obese by 50%). Going without sleep causes stress. Stress creates a high glucose state, which can also lead to diabetes. It’s an epidemic you don’t want to join. If you are not getting enough sleep and you’d like to start, the best advice is a dark, cool, room with no light exposure.

Natalie Beauchamp, Canadian health guru, suggests that the best time to sleep is between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Dr. Mercola, noted health expert, tells us to, “Get to bed as early as possible. Your body (particularly your adrenal system) does a majority of its recharging between the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. In addition, your gallbladder dumps toxins during this same period. If you are awake, the toxins back up into your liver, which can further disrupt your health.” You are further advised by the experts that if you want a before bedtime snack, eat protein or a piece of fruit. Avoid carbs or grains before bed (these foods may cause a blood sugar dip, that can later wake you up). Research shows that wearing socks to bed may help you avoid
waking up, as your feet have the poorest circulation. Write in a journal before bed, as journaling helps you prepare for next day and may ease a restless mind. Start your day with morning light to help jump start your circadian cycle. Exercise, since it regulates hormone levels and oxygenates your brain. Get enough sunshine, as sunshine regulates your hormones as well. Some people have a drink to get them off to “la-la land,” but alcohol sedates rather than actually sending you off to the land of dreams. Therefore, you miss out on various important stages of sleep and the memory consolidation that is so critical for a rested body and mind. No matter what you do, establish a routine and stick to it!

What is bespoke travel? By Connie Frenzel Bespoke: the word suggests expensive hand-made suits from Saville Row or luxuriously supple hand-made leather shoes that will last a lifetime. The lure of bespoke clothing items is that they are made to your specifications and fit you perfectly. And today, bespoke has become popular in vacationing with the concept of “Bespoke Travel” where your vacation can be made to your individual specifications, personalized to your interests, or tailored to your exact needs. Making your own bespoke travel plans by shopping online can become overwhelming. Jumping around internet sites can quickly become exhausting. Separating information from missinformation can be laborious. And even when you do manage to create your “perfect” bespoke trip, a cloud of doubt often moves in, raining down “what ifs”: what if my hotel isn’t in the best location? What if my ship cabin is not what I expected? What if my guided tour is not the best value? What if ... You get my drift. When the time comes to plan for your own bespoke vacation, working with a travel advisor will save you time, money, and prevent potential vacation disasters. A good travel advisor will have a contingency plan in place should your
trip be disrupted by unexpected events. Advisors can have experiences, connections, knowledge, and insights that aren’t available to Connie the online travel Frenzel shopper. Important things to share when you’re working with a travel advisor: • Discuss your travel objectives, such as the destinations on your “bucket list” • Discuss experiences you’ve had in the past, include both your likes and dislikes • Discuss the level of immersion you want on your vacation: culture, adventure, expeditions, sports or relaxing. • Discuss your budget. Don’t be shy. A good advisor will find those amenities you might not find, much less be aware of. These include complimentary transfers, hotel room upgrades, shipboard credits, and lots more. Travel is a financial investment. So, invest wisely by using a qualified travel agent/advisor. Connie Frenzel is travel advisor with Island Travel, 12 Fairfield Road, B5, Beaufort. Contact her at connie@ islandtvl.com or 843-525-0777.

Get ready for the ‘what-ifs’ The future holds many uncertainties, and your retirement is no exception. That’s why planning is so critical, and a good plan will take into account many of the possible uncertainties. In the process of developing your personal retirement plan, it’s important to map out the what-ifs — the scenarios, priorities and choices that you’ll build into your strategy.
By Whitney McDaniel
The future holds many uncertainties, and your retirement is no exception: “What age should I retire?” “How long will I live in retirement?” “When should I start taking Social Security?” “How will rising medical costs affect me?” That’s why planning is so critical, and a good plan will take into account many of the possible uncertainties. In the process of developing your personal retirement plan, it’s important to map out these “what-ifs” — the scenarios, priorities, and choices that you’ll build into your strategy. For example, you may have realized that your retirement priorities include spending as much time on the water as possible or staying in your lifelong home. Each represents a significant expense — perhaps a new cabin cruiser, or extensive aging-in-place upgrades and a long-term care policy — that would affect not only your retirement lifestyle but also your retirement finances. Each priority generates questions: What if you paid up front? What if you chose financing? How would one or the other affect your monthly income, investments, and legacy plans? Other unexpected developments may arise, such as your company offering you an early retirement package. You may then need to decide whether you can afford to accept
Whitney McDaniel
the early retirement package or forgo it and continue with your predetermined retirement date. Or perhaps you can re-prioritize certain goals so that you can afford to take the early retirement package. Turning What-ifs into a Plan “Exploring the what-ifs allows you to try on decisions before you actually have to make them,” says Greg Shiveley, first vice president of FA Platform, Strategic Solutions Group, Wells Fargo Advisors. “You’re able not only to design a retirement lifestyle that reflects your priorities but also to have added confidence that you’ll be able to achieve it.” The process starts with narrowing down the list of what-ifs to those scenarios most applicable to your circumstances. A couple for whom assisting family is a priority might explore the repercussions of offering financial assistance to an adult child or having an older relative move in — or both. A
single person for whom independence is a priority and who has a family history of living to age 95-plus will have a very different “what-if ” conversation with his or her Financial Advisor. Shiveley notes that exploring what-if scenarios can be especially useful when a couple or individual has multiple high priorities, which may have come to light during a priority-setting exercise with their Financial Advisor. “It’s an opportunity to examine the implications of giving one goal higher priority than the other, as well as what would be required to achieve both priorities,” he explains. One outcome may prove vastly preferable to another — or small tradeoffs or strategy changes could make achieving both goals possible. Working through the options with someone you trust who also happens to be familiar with your finances and personal preferences — namely, your Financial Advisor — greatly simplifies the process. Regardless of the strength
of that relationship, however, you remain in the driver’s seat. “While your advisor is there to provide insight and support, ultimately you make decisions about how to proceed,” Shiveley emphasizes. What’s more, you can return to the what-if process whenever you’re faced with a major decision or a change in your circumstances. “The reports and plans that come out of this exploration are not something you just put on a shelf,” Shiveley points out. “They’re living, breathing documents that can adapt with you.” This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Whitney McDaniel, CFP®, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC at (843) 524-1114.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
so happy together
after 50 years, couple reflects upon love, family and community By William Laney
Retired educator Herman Gaither just celebrated 50 years in Beaufort with his beloved wife, Romona. (Please see Social Scene for pictures on page 12). What’s their secret for such a long union? “Compromise,” said Romona with a smile. Said Herman,“Romona is supportive, understanding and patient. She tolerates my adventures and we enjoy many things together.” According to Romona, it wasn’t “love at first sight” for the two of them when they first met on the beach at Hilton Head many years ago. Herman agreed, “We dated for a couple of years before we got married. We grew on each other. She was as settled as I was wild; she gave me structure and the rest is history.” Added Romona, “After getting to know Herman, no one else had a chance. It must be his good looks and charm.” Besides being an excellent wife, Herman said that Romona has been a wonderful mother and grandmother. Their advice for young couples starting out? “It takes work and a desire to get something done for the children, home and community,” said Romona. They have a son Kenneth, who currently is director of education for two upstate school districts. He has a lovely wife Lesa, who also works in education. And the Gaithers have two grandchildren — Amber, a Beaufort High graduate who is now a junior at Elon University majoring in
Romona and Herman Gaither celebrate 50 years of marriage.
Physical Therapy, and Allen, who is in middle school. Kenneth and Lesa gave them their 50th anniversary party at Breakwater Restaurant last week. Kenneth said, “I am just absolutely honored to say that I was able to celebrate a moment as memorable as this with my two heroes. It is not often that you can say that you had a chance to meet or really get to know your heroes, but I have. I think they have been together because they share a love for each other and for life. They care for each other and respect each other. I’m proud to be a part of their love and life.” Education has always played a major role in this family. After getting a degree at Claflin University and a Masters at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, Herman did additional studies at the University of Minnesota and the University of South
Carolina. He became a teacher after college and migrated into administration because of an affinity for technology and innovation. He retired not long ago with a stellar record after 45 years in education in Beaufort County School District where he served as a teacher, coach, curriculum specialist, director of finance, deputy superintendent, and 10 years as superintendent. He was honored by being named “South Carolina Superintendent of the Year” (2004-5). Says Herman, “I am proud of the improvements we made in academic achievement, the introduction of innovative instructional delivery systems, technology, schools of choice, and facilities. I was fortunate to work with some outstanding individuals who were upwardly mobile and dedicated to our students. I miss the teachers,
administrators and students — but not the politics,” he added with a smile. Herman, an avid golfer, turned his hobby into an unexpected job after retirement when he invested in The Golf Course (TGC) at Pleasant Point on Lady’s Island with his friend Joe Walters. Together, with a lot of hard work, they turned a beloved local course — known for it’s beautiful vistas that had been shuttered due to foreclosure by previous owners and left to ruin — back into a great new place for everyone to golf in Beaufort. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would trade my suit and tie and life behind a desk for boots and jeans, laying sod and tending grass,” said Herman.“But being outside and the physical side is different and challenging. I have learned more about grass and sand than I would have ever imagined. Watching a course that was dormant for eight years come back to life is very rewarding.” And the golfers coming back agree, calling TGC one of their “very favorite” courses to play in the Lowcountry. Says Herman about his approach to life: “There is always a better way to get things done. Innovate, find good people and let them grow. Never be reluctant to embrace an idea that has promise.” Congratulations to Herman and Romona for 50 happy years together and thanks for their contributions to Beaufort.

Another school year, and with it comes change Courtesy of the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association newsletter Lady’s Island is privileged to have three private schools that have, over the years, made the changes necessary to survive and continue preparing students for success. Beaufort Academy has served the community since 1965, E. C. Montessori has been in operation since 1973 and St. Peter’s Catholic School since 1992. One out of every two children who attend private schools in northern Beaufort County attends one of these schools. However, in spite of their past successes and superb reputations, the future will bring challenges. The Census Bureau released a report in January that said, “Private school enrollment has declined during the first decade of the 21st century, a phenomenon observed in multiple surveys.” As to the cause of this decline they indicated that “the data does not support the explanation that the economic recession started the decline in private school enrollment. However, there is some evidence that growth in the charter school movement has contributed to it.” Another study by the Rand Corporation estimated that about 8% of new charter schools students were attracted from private schools. With two
With two charter schools open and a third approved to open in 2014, are these schools perceived as a threat to local private schools on Lady’s Island? charter schools (Riverview and Bridges Preparatory) open for business this school year and a third (Lowcountry Montessori) approved to open in 2014, are these charter schools perceived as a threat to the local private schools? When asked about the impact of the introduction of a public Montessori school (Beaufort Elementary) and the anticipated impact in 2014 of a charter Montessori school, Ms. Laura LoprestoMcKeown, educational director of E.C. Montessori pointed out that E.C. Montessori has served the educational needs of the children and parents of northern Beaufort County for the last 40 years. She said “One of the keys to the success of the school over the years is its flexibility in responding to the needs of the children of the community,” she said. “Hopefully, the two new public Montessori schools will be extremely successful and allow E.C. Montessori to emphasize a pre-school (18 months to 6 years of age) program. It would be a winwin for the children of the community
in every respect.” In response to a request for her thoughts on the future challenges faced by private schools, Ms. Julia Stewart Corner, head of school at Beaufort Academy, stated that “Beaufort Academy will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. That is 50 years of fulfilling our mission to send 100% of our graduates to the four-year college of their choice. This past year our graduates received financial assistance, scholarships and awards towards college tuition of over $3 million, which is a good return on investment for all the dedicated parents who have entrusted their children to us. While each new school in Beaufort County brings its own new mission, it will not impact the mission of Beaufort Academy which has been and will continue to be college preparation for all of our students. We will also continue to emphasize our core values of Integrity, Respect, Intellect, Leadership, and Pride. These values have served Beaufort Academy well for almost half of a century and although
So many smiles are ahead of you. You can make those smiles lively, memorable ... younger. Dr. Stephen Durham offers you a lot of ways to do that, and to make that smile your own. For instance, with ZOOM™ Whitening, you can brighten your smile, taking years off your appearance, faster than you’d imagine. Natural-looking implants can take the place of missing or damaged teeth. And non-slip dentures are a comfortable, attractive answer for some folks. With advances in cosmetic dentistry, straightening teeth is so much easier these days. With a “smile makeover,” Dr. Stephen Durham can literally change crooked or misaligned teeth in just a few visits. Or you may want to consider the Six Month Smile TM, clear braces that will bring you results faster than you thought possible.
Dr. Stephen Durham makes the progress painless, too. You can even sleep through your appointment with sedation dentistry. Just call the office of Dr. Stephen Durham and come in for an easy talk. We’ll help you choose your own way to a life lit up by your smile.

changes are always necessary to meet the challenges of a modern world, Beaufort Academy will continue preparing its students for these challenges for many years to come. The faculty and staff, past and present, are incredibly proud of the decades of BA alumni who have gone on to be leaders both in Beaufort and in communities all over the world. Our BA family enjoys every moment of watching both alumni go on to be successful, and current students flourish.” When asked for his opinion as to the anticipated impact on St. Peter’s Catholic School with the introduction of two local charter schools, Principal Joe Benning stated, “St. Peter’s Catholic School has survived 22 wonderful years, providing a high-quality Catholic education in Northern Beaufort County. The opening of Riverview and now Bridges Preparatory has had a definite effect on our enrollment. With the tough economic environment our area has experienced since 2008, it is a difficult decision for parents to choose to pay tuition even for an exceptional program such as ours for their elementary age children. However, we feel that our high standards and Christian faith-based program will allow us to continue to prosper.” The private schools on Lady’s Island have a long and well established history of adapting to the challenge of changing times while continuing to offer a quality education. Charter schools throughout the United States have received mixed reviews but a great deal of political support at this time. Hopefully, the new charter schools established in Beaufort County will be extremely successful and offer students a high quality public education. However, there is no question that the three private schools on Lady’s Island will continue to do what they have done for many years — provide the children of this community a quality education. Editor’s Note: The Census Bureau study referred to in the above article is The Decline in Private School Enrollment by Stephanie Ewert of the Social, Economic and Housing Division dated January 2012 and available online.

Aspire to inspire before you expire By Martha Cooper-Hudson
I am a bold, beautiful, smart, worthy, empowered, motivated, inspired, powerful woman, wife, mother, lover and friend. I am unique, healthy, faithful, courageous, a masterpiece, funny, an eagle, a winner, but most of all, a child of God who decided to live her dream after finding my purpose and passion on this planet. I am writing this article for women who have a dream and a purpose inside of them and are afraid to pursue their dreams for fear they will leave someone or something behind. I was that woman once. It all changed on the day that I realized who I was and whose I was. When I read the words, “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me,” it took my belief level to an all-time high and on that day, the eagle inside of me was born. At that moment, I knew that if I could conceive it and believe it, then I could truly achieve it. How can you live your dreams and find your purpose on this planet? You first must surround yourself with positive people who will continually lift you up. You must become uncomfortable with where you are because being comfortable never allowed anyone to
elevate themselves to a new level. Find personal mentors who can and will guide you in the right direction. Stop taking advice from people you Martha would not trade CooperHudson places with. Invest in yourself and your dreams. Make your vision clear. Write it, speak it, and believe that your dream is possible. Keep your eyes on your dreams no matter what else is happening around you. Stay focused and have faith in yourself and your dreams when no one else can see it. Facts don’t count when you have a dream because you become what you think about.
I challenge each of you to never give up on your dreams; learn to listen during your quiet time; never stop believing; never stop pursuing; never stop following your heart, because hard work and dedication along with your faith will get you to that place called success. If you would do the things that most people will not do today so that you can have the things tomorrow that most people cannot have, that is the ability to live your dream. Aspire to inspire before you expire by becoming a Woman of Greatness. Join other Women of Greatness for an evening of inspiration, motivation, and fun October 15 at Beaufort’s First Tasty Tuesday Women’s Night out with a purpose at Holiday Inn & Suites from 5:30-9 p.m.

While we certainly feel the pain and disruption of a major life change, your dog feels the chaos, too, when his family splits apart. Canine family members in divorcing households hang on to a mixed bag of emotions about their broken homes. Quarrels, separation and split-ups can haunt a dog’s psyche for a long time, but if you learn to spot the signals that show your dog is suffering, you might be able to help him cope better. Here are some of the worrisome canine behaviors that can present during different stages of a divorce: Your dog seeks refuge. Is Dog living under the bed or hiding in the closet? Blame it on the arguments. Dogs hate fights. They cannot bear it when their humans start screaming at each other. Dogs, like children, think, “did I cause this?”. Ideally, as grown-ups, marital adversaries should be able to resolve issues calmly. Sure, it’s tough, if not impossible sometimes. But if your dog acts like a frightened child, it’s time to make some changes. If you’re not willing to take it down a notch, dog behavioral problems may set in. Your dog misbehaves. Because dogs are so attuned to our emotions, they will

know, often before we do, what we are feeling. That means your sensitive pet may turn to attention-seeking behaviors such as gnawing on your belongings (even if he’s never done this before) or excessive licking. For example, I was called in to help in a situation involving one large, unruly golden retriever, three big cats and two pissed-off humans who had filed for divorce but were still sharing the same house. The cats had already made their emotional state known by urinating everywhere but inside their box. Dog seemed oblivious to the kitty commentary, but the atmosphere in the home ramped her normally placid behavior to something approaching super-sonic. Daily, she raced through the house administering enthusiastic licks to anything within range, frequently including both ends of the cats, the windows, furniture and carpet. This behavior added to all the pets’ irritation with each other and

with life in general. Although antistress changes were introduced, it wasn’t until the final break that all returned to relative calm. Your dog goes AWOL. If your dog is not getting the same amount of attention he received before turmoil ignited, he could move quickly to stress overload. Have you ever heard of this scenario: Dog is taken to live at Husband’s new house across town. When there, Dog paces anxiously and never appears to find a place of comfort. Next day, Wife calls from the marital home and snaps, “Come get your dog! She’s running loose in the backyard!” Dogs hate separation. As wolf-derivatives, dogs never quite understand why we would ever leave the pack, even when we run down to the store for a minute, or take the garbage
down to the street. (That’s why they’re always happy to see us when we return.) For them, separation breeds insecurity. Going AWOL is their way of re-uniting their pack. Your dog seems depressed or angry. When a dog ends up with one owner and its not a good fit for the dog, emotional havoc is often the result. Here’s an example: Wife moves German shepherd to her new apartment to enhance her security. Previously, Dog’s daily activities included patrolling his 5-acre domain, swimming in the pond and lounging on the deck. Overnight, he became a latchkey dog while his owner was at work each day. After continual barking, clawed doorframes and complaints from the neighbors, she returned Dog to the ex, who worked out of the country home — a dog’s utopia. Divorcing couples need to take a reality check for their dog’s true well being sooner rather than later. In your heart of heart you will know where your dog needs to be. However, in some cases, deciding who gets the dog cannot be solved in a calm and civil manner. At that point, it becomes a matter for the court. Next time: Canine Custody

Local food business expands delivery to Lady’s Island
SILO wants to make local and natural foods as convenient as possible
Getting healthy, locally grown foods into households is about to become much more convenient for Lady’s Island residents. In operation since 2011, Sea Islands Local Outlet (SILO) is Beaufort’s only source for all local and naturally produced foods, and convenient access to their edible wares has recently become available on Lady’s Island. SILO’s unique business concept incorporates a website platform that connects consumers directly to growers and producers. Similar to a farmers market, vendors post their weekly offerings and set their own prices, and consumers can place orders for these products each week while the website market is open. The growers and producers receive their orders, harvest or produce what is needed and then deliver the orders to SILO. Customers pick up their orders packaged in insulated bags each week at a designated location and time. For the last two years, SILO customers have picked up their orders every Friday from the shop front in the Habersham Marketplace. In early 2013, SILO began offering a pick up location in Palmetto Bluff while supplying the community’s executive chef and restaurants with fresh, locally grown food. Palmetto
Bluff has served as the pilot program for SILO to test the efficiencies of a remote pick up location. “It’s similar to the UPS commercials you see on TV talking about how its all about logistics. Transporting frozen goods, refrigerated goods, cooled goods and dry goods all at once can be tricky and we wanted to make sure we figured out the best way to do it,” says one of SILO’s owners, Patrick Kelly. Patrick owns SILO along with his wife, Lauren, and another couple, Garrett and Katie Budds. With Palmetto Bluff under their belt and running smoothly, the owners

are excited to start offering a pick up location on Lady’s Island given the increasing demand for SILO products from island residents. “After we looked at our ordering history, Lady’s Island was a natural place for us to provide an additional location for customers to pick up their orders. We want to make local food as convenient as possible for both growers and customers, and that means bringing the food to the people. We are extremely excited to be working with Rick Stone at his newly opened Beaufort Bread Company to make this happen.” Beaufort Bread Company has been selling their artisan breads, scones and baguettes through SILO and the Port Royal Farmers Market for over a year, and now with its new location open, the bakery will serve as a Tuesday pick up location option for SILO customers. Each Tuesday, from 5 until 6:30 p.m., SILO customers stop by the bakery on Sea Island Parkway to gather their milk, meats, produce, baked goods, eggs, rice and more that they purchased through the website over the weekend. Rick Stone usually has some tasty treats out for SILO customers to enjoy as well. For the Tuesday bakery pick up, online market (shopping) hours are from 8 a.m. on Friday until 6 p.m. on Sunday, with customers simply selecting their
pick up location before logging in. Placing an order anytime during that window is just as easy as ordering from any other online retailer. Shoppers can browse from 16 different food categories, see who the grower is and read about the farm, view pictures of products and see how many are left of each item. “It’s funny, we’ll see a flurry of activity each week when the market opens as people log on early to try to order some popular items before they sell out. Just like at a physical farmers market,” Kelly says. The flurry is so dramatic that the SILO owners have considered allowing an early shopping opportunity as a reward for its most loyal customers. For now, though, there is plenty of other work to be done as the SILO Team is aggressively seeking out other strategic pick up locations around Beaufort County to make purchasing local foods as convenient as possible for Beaufort-area residents. SILO is also inviting a select number of chefs to begin sourcing local foods through the new wholesale portion of the website. Kelly wants to be careful with chefs, though. “The supply can be limited at times and we want to be careful not to have too many chefs buying everything and not have anything left for individual customers. Therefore, we are partnering with chefs who genuinely have an interest in our local food system. Brandon Carter at Palmetto Bluff is amazing in this regard and we are excited to begin working with other chefs who have similar values. One of our main goals is to broaden the market as much as we can for our local growers and food purveyors while maintaining their story, product quality and variety.” To learn more about SILO or to sign up for online ordering, visit their webpage at www.silo-beaufort.com or stop by their shop front in Habersham at 7A Market, Beaufort, SC 29906. The SILO Team can be reached at manager@silo-beaufort.com or by calling 843-321-8990.

arts&entertainment beaufort symphony orchestra 2013-2014 season
Haydn and Dvorak give us their ‘Last Word’ The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra will open the 2013-2014 Season on October 10 at USCB Center for the Arts with “The Last Word” of two powerful composers, Franz Joseph Haydn and Antonin Dvorak. Written some 100 years apart, their last symphonies are among the most celebrated by musicians and music lovers alike. Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, popularly known as “The London Symphony,” was composed in Vienna in 1795 following a stay in London during which he composed the first six of the 12 “London” series. Dvorak’s Symphony No.9, known as “The New World Symphony,” was composed in 1893 while he was living in America. Haydn: Friend of Mozart, teacher of Beethoven Often called “the father of the symphony,” Haydn was one of the most prolific and prominent composers of the Classical period and a close friend of Mozart and a teacher of Beethoven. Aristocratic patronage was crucial to the career of a composer and in his adult life Haydn, a native of Austria, was supported by his patron Prince Nicolaus. By the time the prince died in 1790, Haydn was famous and financially secure but the lure of the London commission a few years later was too attractive to turn down. And a good thing too, because otherwise he might not have written this last symphony that debuted at the King’s Theatre in London in 1795 to the audience’s
resounding approval. Haydn’s final “statement” This 12th symphony was the main event —the finale — of his farewell concert that night and everything about it projects the feeling of a “statement.” He was a master of the unexpected and this work does not disappoint. Alternating between grand proclamation and poignant pathos, it is also cheerful and in good humor with a sense of uplifting celebration. Dvorak’s most popular symphony Dvorak composed his best-known work and last symphonic composition, “New World Symphony,” in 1893. He was one year into his three-year residence in New York as director of the National Conservatory of Music in America, and missed his beloved homeland of Bohemia. With all the forces of a 19th century orchestra, this symphony travels the entire spectrum of emotions, from profound sorrow, loneliness and despondence to exultation, exhilaration and hope. Its simple but elegant melodies were influenced not only by the folk music of his native country but also by the Native American and Afro-American music he discovered in America. Of particular note is the New World’s Second Movement, “Largo,” the theme from which a pupil of Dvorak’s later adapted the spirituallike song, “Goin’ Home.” “New World Symphony” went to outer space The First Movement, “Adagio,” evokes the feeling
of being carried far away from a familiar place with sadness, fear, suspense and then hope. And it is this emotional reaction to the symphony that well could have appealed to Astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1969 when he took a recording of it with him on the Apollo 11 mission, the first manned landing on the moon. At the symphony’s premiere at Carnegie Hall in 1893, the audience was so enthralled with the composition that they cheered their approval at the end of each movement — so much so that Dvorak felt obliged to stand up and take a bow each time. With two blockbuster symphonies like these to usher in the new season, anticipate a packed house at both performances, Thursday, October 10, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, October 13, at 3 p.m. The three remaining concerts of the season include, “Fa LaLaLaLa,” the Holiday Concert on Dec. 5 and 8; “Beethoven Bash” on Feb. 27 and March 2; and “Amour Amour” on May 1 and 4. All tickets are $37.50 and available one hour prior to curtain at USCB Center for the Arts at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, or call and reserve your seats at 1-800595-4849. You can also go to our website at www. beaufortorchestra.org for a seating chart and to order online. To ensure that you won’t miss a performance, you can order season tickets online or by downloading a mail-in subscription form.

Their groundbreaking collaboration has seen them perform for everybody from U.S. troops in Iraq to both the official President’s Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, D.C., where President Barack Obama gave each band member a hearty hand-shake. Individually and together, Black Violin has collaborated with the likes of P.

MOONDOGGIES
By Pamela Brownstein
Inside the quaint restaurant in Port Royal, the main dining room is painted a dark blue to represent the night sky in a mural that wraps around the walls. The mural celebrates the life of the owners’ dog, and the dishes on the menu are all named after special pets. It’s these touches and the friendly service that make a visit to MoonDoggies quite a treat. Elizabeth ordered Bob’s Cobb Salad made with smoked turkey, bacon, tomato, hard-boiled egg, black olives and Bleu cheese crumbles on a bed of mixed greens.

wine
A new star in a family of stars By Celia Strong
Well, lucky us. Once again we are the recipients, and tasters, of another new wine. And a star it is. But, as we all know, there are steps we have to go through to learn about this new wine. Some history. Some technology. All good stuff so that when we do get our first glass of it, our wine is all it can be because we know more about it. And we appreciate it more. Definitely we are going to California this week. But, sort of, we are going by way of France. That’s because our wine is from California — grown and made in Napa — but much of its heritage and history are from France. Not confusing when we remember all the wineries in California, and for that matter, Oregon and Washington wineries, that are divisions of French producers. This week, we get to look at Domaine Chandon, the Napa Valley offspring of Moët & Chandon. Moët & Chandon was established in Épernay in 1743, by Claude Moët, a wine trader. Épernay is a town in the southern part of what is now the Champagne region, located just north of Paris, and Moët began shipping his wines to Paris. Luckily for him, this was also during the reign of King Louis XV and the popularity of sparkling wines was increasing rapidly. Soon, the winery’s clients included many nobles and royalty. In 1750, Moët began doing business with Madame de Pompadour who supplied the Royal Court at Compiègne with Moët wines. (Please note, that the wines from this region were not yet all sparkling, on purpose anyhow, and the region, as we think of it today, was not a legal designation.) Also in 1750, the company started shipping their wines to Spain, Germany, Eastern Europe and, yes, the British colonies in America. In 1792, Claude Moët died and his grandson Jean-Remy Moët moved into the driver’s seat. He expanded the business by buying the vineyards of the Abbey of Hautvillers. It was at this Abbey where a Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon, perfected the process of a second fermentation in the wines

to make them sparkling wines. Most of us know pieces and parts of that story. During the nineteenth century, the Moët company continued to grow and attract many more nobles and royalty as loyal customers, across Europe. The Chandon family became connected with the Moëts through marriage and that led to the new company name — Moët & Chandon. A star is now used as the company logo on their labels and corks. Leaping forward, across many successful years and wines, to 1973, we land when the California subsidiary of Domaine Chandon was formed. When they decided to expand to the United States, and chose Napa Valley for their location, the company found unique soil and climate there. They considered many different grape varieties and planted test batches to see how they did. We have to keep in mind, though, that coming from the Champagne region of France, Moët & Chandon were only familiar with the three varieties allowed in their region — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, a red variety that is a cousin to Pinot Noir. Now, after 40 years of growing grapes in the United States, they have 1,000
“What goes around comes around”
acres in three of the best appellations in Napa, Yountville, Carneros and Mount Veeder. If we look, for a moment, at each of these appellations, we might gain some insight into the wines that Domaine Chandon makes. Yountville has a slightly warmer climate. This results in riper grapes which, in turn, makes richer, more robust wines. Carneros is breezy and cool — perfect conditions for elegant Pinots. And the wines from here reflect their grapes’ elegance. Mount Veeder has vineyards on the slopes of the Mayacamus Mountains. Good drainage produces small grapes with concentrated flavors. And we know that’s good for wines. (Even though I didn’t specify it, these growing conditions and what they mean to the grapes only refers to the three Champagne varieties. Because, that’s what Chandon does. But, I suspect we have all heard of great wines from the same areas, not necessarily made from these three varieties.) Definitely, the sparkling wines from Domaine Chandon are the base of their business and reputation. If you have never enjoyed some of them, it’s time. Past time. But, not to leave any wine undiscovered, or any grapes unused, Domaine Chandon found that their grapes would also make some remarkable still wines. From all three of their varieties. For
many years, many of us have loved their Chandon Pinot Meunier. Holiday after holiday, dinner after dinner, bottle after bottle. And, never willing to rest on their past successes, Chandon still continues to move forward. From somewhere in their past, in Napa, they have a vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon. Not related to their sparkling wines in any way, yet there it is, growing. So, what do they do? Simple, they make a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. And, that is our wine for this week: Chandon Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet grapes from a French-owned Champagne company? Yikes. Is that an oxymoron, or what? But, if we can get past the restrictions we set on ourselves, we will find a great new wine. The 2010 is only the second vintage of this wine. Really, this is a brand new wine. It is 100 percent Cabernet. With a Napa Valley appellation. The grapes were harvested in September. And the wine was aged in oak barrels for 20 months, all French oak barrels, 40 percent of them new barrels. This Cabernet is full of cassis, blackberry, plum and rosemary flavors. And a hint of vanilla and mocha on the finish. It’s interesting when you start to taste this wine. Most of us would expect a heavy, intense Cabernet, like most Napa Cabernets tend to be, but it’s not. The tannins are full, but smooth. The flavors are intense, and complex, but not heavy. There are layers. Subtleties. Nuances. In fact, it’s not like any other Napa Cabernet I can remember tasting. But, it’s delicious. So, I have another sip. And another. This is excellent wine! And then, the light comes on. Sure, it’s a Napa Cab. But, it’s from a French company, with some French winemakers involved, and French oak barrels. The perfect combination of two different wine. This wine is as good as it is too because of the quality of everything from the vineyards to the barrels used to make it. And we know wines this good come at a certain price level. True, most of the time. Unless you can get a deal. So, we have a deal. At $19.99 this wine is almost half off. Truly stellar — the wine and its price. Enjoy.
There’s an old saying that, “What goes around comes around.” Of all the places that you could spend your money, a locally owned business is the one that’s most likely to return the favor by doing business with you. Everyone benefits when you shop and invest with Hometown people.

HBF dinner and lecture talks Sherman’s March
Personal experiences of the final blow of defeat to the citizens of South Carolina in 1865 will be discussed by archivist Karen Stokes of the South Carolina Historical Society at the Verdier House Dinner & A Lecture series, Monday, September 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street. An army of over 60,000 Union troops led by Gen. William T. Sherman swept through South Carolina as the Civil War was in its final months and the motivation of the attack was to punish the state where the seeds of secession grew to full blossom. Hundreds of affected residents recorded their harrowing experiences in letters, diaries, memoirs and newspaper accounts, much of which is corroborated by the testimony of Sherman’s officers and soldiers.
Stokes brings these stories together in “South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path: Stories of Courage Amid Civil War Destruction” and will share them in her lecture. Many of the accounts offer a graphic depiction of the destruction that changed South Carolina forever. Stokes, who has worked with the manuscript collection at the Historical Society for over 15 years, has published numerous articles on South Carolina history. She will provide copies of her book for sale and will sign them at the event. Lectures are scheduled for October 26, “When South Carolina was an Armed Camp: The Reconstruction Essays of Belton O’Neal Townsend,” by historian Stephen Hoffius, and for November 18, “State of the Heart: SC Writers on the Places They Love,” by editor/writer Aida Rodgers. “Dinner and a Lecture” is open to HBF members and non-members; the lecture series features a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 5:30 – 6 p.m. The program is 6 to 7 p.m. followed by audience questions. Admission to the lecture is $15/$25 per member/member couple respectively, and $20/$30 per non-member/non-member couple respectively. Seating is limited; call 3793331 to make reservations. A threecourse dinner at Saltus River Grill is offered at $19 per person for attendees at the lecture. Call Saltus at 379-3474 to make reservations.
