Whale Branch Middle music teacher honored

A music teacher who attended Beaufort County Schools herself, and whose mother was a teacher at Hilton Head Island High School, was named as Beaufort County’s 2014-2015 District Teacher of the Year. The selection of Amy Simmons, band director at Whale Branch Middle School, was announced during a breakfast celebration to honor teachers of the year from all of the district’s schools on Friday, Sept. 19. “Amy exemplifies the key characteristics of a passionate teacher and natural born leader,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “Her students succeed because of her skill at engaging them and instilling them with confidence. She encourages, and she

pushes, and she challenges them every day to do their best.” After the announcement, Martha Hartley, chief financial officer of Hilton Head Buick-GMC-Cadillac, offered Simmons her choice of three new cars donated by the dealership for her to use over the coming year, or a $5,000 check. Simmons, who had recently purchased a car, chose the check. Simmons has been teaching music and directing the band at Whale Branch Middle since 2010 and says her proudest moments in teaching are when students find relationships between standards from their core curriculum within their music lessons.

County posts signs for lost pets In an effort to return lost pets to their rightful owners, Beaufort County Animal Services has been posting new signs along roads countywide that read “ANIMAL FOUND” and give the number to call, 843-255-5010. Last Monday, animal services posted its first sign on Hilton Head Island after a black Pit Bull was found wandering the streets. The dog wasn’t microchipped, and the county staff had no way of knowing who the owner was. Luckily, the dog’s owner saw the

sign, called, and the two have since been reunited. “We urge all animal owners to microchip because it’s the most

efficient way to find the owner but if this hasn’t been done, and the animal gets loose these signs are another way to reconnect the owners with their lost pet,” said BCAS Director Tallulah Trice. Anytime a stray is found, County Animal Services plans to post a sign at the closest major intersection. For more information, go to www. bcgov.net/departments/Public-Safety or visit Beaufort County Animal Services’ Facebook page.

enter the ‘it can wait’ writing contest The S.C. Press Association and participating S.C. newspapers are challenging Palmetto State high school students to write an essay, editorial or opinion column that highlights the dangers of texting while driving. The statewide winner will receive a $500 prize underwritten by AT&T. Texting while driving is an epidemic. More than 100,000 crashes a year involve drivers who are texting, often causing life-changing injuries and deaths. Texting drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident. Despite knowing the risks of texting while driving, 43% of teens admit to texting while driving. However, there is an opportunity to change this behavior. Ninety percent of teen drivers say they would stop if a friend in the car asked them and 78% said they are likely not to text and drive if friends tell them it is wrong. Write an essay, editorial or opinion column that answers the question, “Why is it important to take the it can wait pledge to never text and drive?” Your piece should highlight the dangers of texting while driving. The piece must include the following call to action, “Take the pledge to never text and drive at ItCanWait.com.” Entries should be between 300 and 500 words long and must be typed. Please email entries to theislandnews@gmail.com. The local contest period begins Monday, Sept. 8 and all entries must be sent to The Island News by Oct. 13. Local winners will be announced Oct. 23 and sent to SCPA to compete in the statewide contest. Statewide winner will be announced Nov. 7. The prize will include $500, and a luncheon for the student and his or her parents with the leadership of SCPA, AT&T and The Island News.

Widow to accept Congressional Gold Medal Retired Marine Master Sgt. George Albert Jackson will posthumously receive the Congressional Gold Medal on Thursday, Oct. 2, at 11 a.m. at Helena Place Senior Living in Port Royal. His widow, Ella J. Jackson, will accept the award for her late husband. The late Master Sgt. Jackson is receiving the honor for being a Montford Point Marine. The Montford Point Marines were among the first African Americans in the United States Marine Corps who overcame racial prejudice to serve in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He volunteered to enter the Marine Corps on June 22, 1942. In 1942, Montford Point Camp was established as the WWII recruit training site for all African American Marines. Master Sgt. Jackson retired on March 31, 1969. Following his service, Master Sgt. Jackson became a founding member of the Montford Point Marine Association, Inc., Beaufort chapter and sat as vice president in 1973. The Congressional Gold Medal is the nation’s highest civilian honor awarded to persons who have performed achievements that have had an impact on American history that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient’s field. The late Master Sgt. Jackson served in the U.S. Army prior to joining the Marine Corps. He served in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. A native of Long Island, N.Y., he died on July 18, 1987 and is interred at Beaufort National Cemetery. A buffet luncheon will follow the award presentation at Helena Place Senior Living, 1624 Paris Ave., Port Royal, SC. The public is invited to attend this awards ceremony and reception.

Grasshopper’s teaching on being present By Deb Duer

It was an ordinary shopping day, a regular Monday moment. I had bought the evening meal and was returning to my car in the jammed parking lot. I was getting in the car when I looked down at the asphalt. There, just freshly stepped on or run over by a cart or maybe a car, was one of those giant grasshoppers. It struck me hard. The architect of life had seen fit to snuff out this voiceless and small observer of life with giant eyes, just moments before I walked up. I stood there staring. I wondered what allowed me to finish my shopping when even one little insect had unceremoniously croaked just under my driver’s side door. I could not bear the finality to a life that allowed others to go on living in that same moment. I was still standing there trying to think through this problem when it occurred to me how fundamentally unaware I was of my own life, how relatively unappreciative, how careless was my way of living. I might care more for how my home was constructed

than how my life is. I would question the architect about the building material or the soundness of the construction, but to question the architect about what’s going on Deb Duer in my life? I did not write a check to pay for my experience of living, no one offered a pound of gold pieces to the author of me to ensure that things would turn out OK. No, my life was given to me free of all charges to do with and become what ever I could imagine or how little I could get a way with. Where was my plan for myself, the plan that told me how many minutes to spend on the most important to the most humdrum aspects of living? Minutes, hours, days, months and years had escaped me with not so much as a thought to where they would lead. I had played my hand without thinking of the

game and there were no tricks left to take. I was sitting in the car now, looking down at the small lifeless creature who gave impetus to my continued thoughts. How could it be that it was just gone? It was clear to me that this was not an answer I could know. But what it led me to think was that one day I will just be gone too and planet Earth and all her creatures will go on without me. Thankfully, there is still time for me to live in a manner that bespeaks a love and gratitude for this great adventure to which I have inadvertently become tangent. There is still time to live in a wonderfully deliberate way.

I put the car in drive, thinking that I did not want it to be weeks before I thought of this moment again. I wanted it to be a turning point in my life. I wanted the energy from that little green alien to fill my heart and be the prescription I needed to find a way to care deeply about what I did and what kind of impact I was having. It occurred to me as I finally closed the door to leave, that maybe that grasshopper spent its whole life trying to get to that spot in the parking lot so that I would finally learn that my life could begin its unique celebration! These moments of clarity and insight are available much more often than you might imagine. They wake us up and we start to live with intention. We can receive the gift of living life more sweetly from a brief moment of awareness anywhere, anytime we are willing to be present. Deb Duer is a freelance writer whose work is inspired by the never-ending supply of surprises that life can deliver! She can be reached at jrflybird@yahoo.com.

Autumn maintenance in and around your home

By State Farm

As the leaves change and the days get shorter, take the time this autumn to prepare for the oncoming cooler weather. Ready the furnace and clean out the fireplace. Test them both to ensure they’ll be working when you need the heat. With upkeep in the fall, you’ll have peace of mind in the winter. Inside The House Heating System Checkup Be sure to change the air filter in your furnace and check its efficiency before the cold weather begins. Call in an HVAC contractor to test the heating output and give the system a tune-up. This technician can also check for and correct possibly hazardous carbon monoxide levels generated by your heating system. Stock up on several air filters for the winter, and change them every month. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, purchase one for the system to help lower your energy costs. After your furnace has been tuned up to its maximum efficiency, take a moment to inspect your heating ducts and vents. Dust them off and clear away anything that may have gotten into them over the summer. Then check your windows for any leaks that may compromise your heating efficiency. If you feel cold air coming in, purchase a plastic sealing kit from the hardware store and place the plastic around the window to keep the heat from escaping. Be sure to check your doors as well, and fix their

weather-stripping if needed. Check the Fireplace and Chimney Most chimney sweeps recommend an annual sweeping, but depending on how often you use the fireplace, you might be able to wait on a full sweep. But if you will be using the fireplace often, call a chimney sweep for an inspection. Hopefully you will have your older, seasoned firewood now ready for use after sitting for the spring and summer. It’s recommended to keep the firewood at least 30 feet from the house and covered. Seasoned wood is best for fires, as it burns cleaner and longer. Review Home Fire Safety The introduction of the heating season brings new potential for fire hazards, so take a moment to review fire safety in your home. Check and replace fire extinguishers if necessary, and change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Also go over the home fire evacuation plan with your family. Outside The House The Gutters It’s best to inspect and clean the gutters a few times during the fall, especially if there are many leafy trees around your house. If gutters remain clogged, water will spill over them and onto the ground next to the foundation, which may cause damage to the foundation. Gutters and downspouts should be kept clean and should direct water away from the foundation, as well as from walkways and driveways, so that they

do not become slippery or icy. Yard Maintenance The orange, yellow, and brown colors of the autumn leaves don’t look as nice on the ground as they do on the trees. Rake the leaves into piles and scoop them into yard waste bags. Most areas have ordinances about burning leaves, so check with your local area government first. When sweeping the leaves off your patio, don’t forget to clean, pack up, and store any patio furniture for the winter. Disconnect garden hoses and, if practical, use an indoor valve to shut off and drain water from pipes leading to outside faucets. This reduces the chance of freezing in the

section of pipe just inside the house. In The Garage It is recommended that you empty out unused fuel from any gas-powered equipment stored in the garage, such as a lawnmower, because sediment can build up and clog the fuel lines. Store gasoline in tanks out of children’s reach. Test Your Emergency Generator It’s a good idea to have an emergency generator if you live in an area that sees a lot of ice storms. So if you have one, haul it out and give it a test run to see if it is in good working order. Make sure you never run the generator in any enclosed space as it will present a carbon monoxide hazard.

Dataw Island Visual Arts Club hosts Diner En Blanc The Dataw Island Visual Arts Club hosted a Diner En Blanc on Sunday, September 14 as part of their 10th anniversary celebration. How does a flash mob serve dinner? Why, elegantly and dressed all in white, of course. In celebration of the Dataw Island Visual Arts Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary, members and guests were treated to a Diner en Blanc in a beautiful natural setting. The location was kept a secret until the day of the event when 120 fashionistas and foodies went into action and converged setting up white table decors, epicurean treats, and surprises for all. The dinner began at 6 p.m. with corks popping and delicacies from caviar to lobster salad presented to tease the appetite and set the stage for an elegant picnic served on china with crystal glasses and silver candelabra. Each couple or small group planned and executed their dinners with all arriving to create a beautiful world of white linens, candlelight and guests in their finest white apparel. Dinner was served, the sparklers were lit and just as quickly as it all began, everything was whisked away and all that remained was the natural beauty of the island ruins and the cleansing rains of a late summer storm.

Friday. During Academic Arts periods for their respective grades, students were authorized to either watch a movie, play ping pong, basketball or other fun activates. SCHOOL DISTRICT • College Application Day: Beaufort County high school seniors will get one-on-one coaching as they prepare college applications on Thursday, Sept. 25, with help from guidance counselors, parents, community volunteers and representatives of colleges and universities. “College Application Day,” a joint project of the Beaufort County School District, the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education and the S.C. Department of Education, will provide coaching and advice to students at all five high schools as they fill out actual college applications online.

Principal Matthew Hunt said that while there are many terrific teachers in Beaufort County, it takes a truly gifted and special person to make a difference in the lives of those considered “atrisk” students. “Amy Simmons has worked tirelessly to build and establish quality instructional and educational opportunities for students throughout Beaufort County,” he said, “and we are fortunate that this former Beaufort County student has chosen to call Whale Branch Middle her home.” According to Simmons, her teaching philosophy is based on a quote that she adopted early on: “Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.” One of Simmons’ greatest accomplishments in the classroom was in 2012 when she won a Mr. Holland’s Opus Grant, which purchased muchneeded equipment for music classes. Included in that equipment was a collection of steel drums, and over the past two years, the Whale Branch Middle steel drum band has travelled all over the Southeast to perform. “I chose this profession to help students succeed,” Simmons wrote in her Teacher of the Year application. “I chose this profession to give students the opportunities I had growing up in this very same district.”

Simmons educational background includes: EdS. Education Administration from South Carolina State University; M.A. Teaching with Specialization in National Board Certified Teaching Leadership from National University; B.S. Music Education from South Carolina State University. The four other finalists for 201415 District Teacher of the Year were Michelle Henry of Whale Branch Elementary, Caroleen Hodge of Port Royal Elementary, Annette Lee of Hilton Head Island High School, and Sharon McMahon of Bluffton Middle. Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that begins when school-level teachers of the year are selected in April. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the Year submit detailed applications by the end of July. In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviews the applications and rates them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants are named as finalists. In the third step, the finalists are interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. Those panelists begin by reviewing videos of the teachers doing classroom lessons. The judges then score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about the teaching methods shown in the videos, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues.

ARTworks celebrates American Music with series of concerts

This fall, ARTworks will be celebrating American Music with a season of concerts honoring luminaries of the 20th Century. The series kicks off on Saturday, September 27 with “Jump, Jive & Swing”, a musical variety show featuring songs from WWII, the Big Band and Swing eras. However, there’s more to the show than that. Like the Andrews Sisters, the performers are a sister act. In this case, though, there are only two sisters, Emily and Lacy Miller, who are known professionally as “Gracie and Lacy”. The sisters grew up in Missouri where their shared love of music and theater developed early. At ages 8 and 10, they hung a bed sheet curtain across their parents’ garage door, creating their own “theater” to perform musicals in, with lawn chair seating in the driveway. Their productions became a neighborhood tradition, earning the name “Broadway On The Driveway”. The name stuck even after a few years, when the sisters moved their musical theater productions to a local performing arts center and mounted semi-professional shows comprised of up to 90 youth performers, a full orchestra, and technical crew. Continuing to both perform and direct musical theatre throughout their teens and early 20s, the duo won numerous awards and acclaim in their home state of Missouri, including grants from the Young Singers Foundation for 12 years in a row, a stint as Branson Guest Entertainers, Finalists on Marvin Hamlisch’s Star Search and recipients of a Missouri Senatorial Resolution recognizing their contribution to the arts. Always fascinated with classic Americana and the glamor of vintage fashion, the pair decided to focus on creating their own shows based on each sister’s talents in 1997. Now touring nationally, the pair is known onstage for tight harmonies, retro costumes (which Lacy designs) and tap dancing (which Gracie choreographs), all set to the classic music of the 1930s through the 50s. This talented

ginger wareham is the creative force behind

PickleJuice Productions Ginger Wareham’s love of bright colors, positive personality and creativity are reflected in her clean, eye-catching, innovative website designs. As owner and creative director of PickleJuice Productions and BeaufortBride.com, she lives up to her clever business motto that “PickleJuice infuses creative projects with zesty stuff to relish.” Ginger was born in Indiana, grew up in Illinois and made her way south when she attended Ole Miss for college. She spent 12 years in New Orleans before moving first to Isle of Palms and finally to Beaufort where she runs PickleJuice Productions with her husband, Will, who handles the marketing and business side of things. “I was fortunate to work for a startup web company during my last year at Ole Miss,” says Ginger. “I designed and developed the first website for the University of Mississippi’s art department as my senior thesis.” That website launched Ginger into the possibilities offered by the World Wide Web and after graduation she chose to apply her design degree in interactive development rather than print. After a move to New Orleans she landed a job at NewOrleans.com as their sole designer. While there she worked on many other city and country websites including NewYork.com, VisitCanada. com and ExperienceNewOrleans.com. Ginger and Will have worked with a variety of clients over the years. They have developed websites for 5-star resorts, hotels, restaurants, festivals, non-profit organizations, magazines, storefronts and even a waste disposal business. “I love the diversity of clientele that we get to work with,” Ginger says. “Will and I believe that every business needs a good website presence to represent their brand and it’s really fun to make that happen.”

The Wareham family: Ginger holding Cecila, 1, and Will holding Hogan, 4.

Ginger says that the PickleJuice philosophy is based on creating unique and successful design solutions and establishing long-term relationships with clients. “We’re proud of our 98 percent client retention rate,” she says. “We appreciate that every project is unique and we’ll work with clients to develop their vision and recommend services consistent with their needs and budget.”

Since moving to Beaufort, Ginger says she’s been fortunate to collaborate with other local businesses like ShopLocalBeaufort.com a community campaign that was kicked off a couple years ago. The Shop Local Beaufort campaign was created to support and promote local artists and locally owned, independent businesses in Beaufort. According to Ginger, “As a familyowned and operated business, we know

the island news | september 25 - october 1, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

how important it is to have support from our friends, neighbors and local businesses. Most of our clients are small businesses and without them we could not survive in this tough economy.

Singing in the car

By Lee Scott

A new friend of mine stopped me the other day and said she had seen me driving down the highway. “You sure looked like you were having a good time,” she said. Evidently she had spotted me as I was singing. I explained that I was enjoying some of my old friends; there was Sonny and Cher, “I Got You Babe”; and Simon and Garfunkel, “A Bridge Over Troubled Water”; and my old Motown buddies, The Supremes, with “Love child”; and Marvin Gaye, “Heard It Through the Grapevine.” Of course, when I drive through Beaufort, I enjoy listening to any of the songs from the movie “ The Big Chill.” There is so much joy in listening to

Now what?

highlighting daily life observations

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

radio stations like 104.9 and hearing many of the old songs from the 60s and 70s. It amazes me the amount of songs that I recognize from over the years — and especially when I actually know the lyrics. Oh, there are always those songs where you hum many of the lines, but you can always jump in on the chorus. Recently I read that there are several

reasons why we remember the lyrics to old songs. The obvious reason is because we listened to one song over and over again; there is nothing like repetition to get us to learn words. How many of us had 45 rpm records where the record player just kept playing the same song over and over again? Then there is the emotional attachment to songs, an experience

when a particular song is playing. It is one of the reasons why so many couples say, “They are playing our song.” One year when my daughter was 13 years old, I dragged her to a Harry Belafonte concert. She told me how bored she was going to be but when Harry Belafonte started to sing, she realized that she knew all the songs. There was “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” and the “Banana Boat Song (Day-Oh)”. The audience sang along to all of his songs and my 13 year old was right with them. She had forgotten about all those 8 track tapes I played in my old Pinto station wagon. So if you do happen to see me driving in my car and it looks like I am having a good time, remember: “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”!

An anniversary shout out to the love of my life By Pamela Brownstein

This week, in the throes of my deadlines — which for me falls on Tuesday evenings, meaning I probably haven’t showered since the weekend and have gotten very little sleep in the past two days and still have one long night ahead of me and, even though I work from home, nothing has been done in terms of doing the laundry or picking up after the kids or feeding the pets — as I sit hunched over my computer in my “office”

(which is actually just a messy desk in the corner of our dining room) my husband, Daniel, who had only been home for about 10 minutes after a day at work and picking up our two kids from daycare and is still dressed in his suit and tie, asks me if I would call him A: The love of my life; B: My baby daddy; or C: Some guy I share a house with. I laughed and replied, “I guess all three.” Then I asked him, “Would you call me A: Your fun,

voted “best dentist” in the island news every year

sexy wife; B: Your baby mama; or C: Some crazy lady who sits in front of a computer all day and night.” He laughed too, and right before he went outside to walk the dog, he added, “You forgot ‘Love of my life.’” I was glad he left and couldn’t see me start to cry a little because that was the best, sweetest thing he could have said, and it reminded me how special he is and how lucky I feel to have him in my life. Happy fifth anniversary, babe. Looks like we made it.

Dr. Kat says...we see the benefit of fluoride everyday in the reduction of decay in children, but on the other hand, fluorosis (white spots in the enamel) is becoming much more prevalent in children. The federal government is studying a proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in our drinking water, which should help reduce the amount of fluorosis we are seeing. In the meantime, make sure your child is using the “smear” technique of putting toothpaste on the brush. Smearing a small dab on the brush should be less than the “pea-size” amount previously recommended. Also, you should be monitoring the 2-7 year olds (the most important ages for enamel development of permanent teeth), in making sure they are spitting the toothpaste out rather than ingesting it. A child less than 2 should be using water only or fluoride-free training toothpaste. 16

wine

A new ‘sparr’-ing partner

Our grape this week is Pinot Blanc, a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir, that is grown in the Alsace region of France. Our wine is from the Pierre Sparr Winery, which was founded in 1680.

By Celia Strong

Our quest to learn about great wines from around the world takes us to the Alsace region of France, a unique area with an interesting history that even has its own language, food and wines. Alsace is located on the eastern border of France, along the western banks of the Rhine River. Looking at a map of France, you find it squeezed into its corner, sort of jutting more into Germany than looking like it’s really in France. The history of this region is closely tied to its location. By 1500 BC, Celtic people had started to settle in Alsace. The Romans, by 58 BC, had invaded and established forts and viticulture here. In fact, the forts were as much to protect the highly valued wine industry as for any thing else. When the Roman Empire collapsed, Alsace was taken over by the Germanic Allemanni. These were agricultural people and their language became the base for northern German. The Franks defeated the Allemanni in the 5th century AD, and Alsace became part of the Kingdom of Austria. The Frankish realm was dissolved in 843. Then, the grandsons of Charlemagne divided the realm into three parts; Alsace was part of Middle Francia, and was ruled by the youngest grandson, Lothar. When Lothar died, his third of the original realm was divided into three again. The part known as Lotharingia, or Lorraine, was given to his son. The Kingdom of Lotharingia did not last long. During the 12th and 13th centuries, Alsace experienced great prosperity. It was set up as a sort of province, looked over by a civil servant for Frederick I. Harsh winters, bad harvests and the Black Death brought the good days to an end at the close of the 14th century. The residents of Strasbourg were prosperous again, by the time of the Protestant Reformation, and accepted Protestantism in 1523. The Roman Catholic Habsburgs, though, also had influence in Alsace. Consequently, Alsace became a mixture of Protestant and Catholic territories. Through the 16th and 17th centuries, the tugs of war for pieces of Alsace continued. As France and Germany

became unified countries, elements from each laid claim to Alsace. Treaties were written with Alsace being sometimes French and sometimes German. It’s only since the end of World War II, in 1945, that Alsace has become permanently a part of France. When it comes to Alsatian wine, close to 90 percent are white. Many of the grape varieties used are more often thought of as German. Wines are labeled for their grape variety, the only one of 27 French AC wine regions, though it is the norm in Germany. There are only three AC appellations for Alsatian wines — Alsace AC for still white, red and rosé wines; Alsace Grand Cru for white wines grown in classified vineyards; and, Crémant d’Alsace for sparkling wines. White wines are very dry or sweet. All Alsatian wines must be bottled in tall, thin, green bottles; the usual “Rhine” bottle. Interestingly, in Germany, there is no legal requirement to use this bottle. Riesling is the main, and greatest, white variety grown in Alsace, it accounts for about 22 percent of all the grapes grown. Gewurztraminer comes in second at about 19 percent of the total. These are both German varieties of grapes. Pinot Gris, a French grape, is third at 15 percent. Others, in order of more grown to less grown, are Auxerrois blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Muscat varieties, Chasselas, and small bits of a few more. Whatever grape is named on a label, the wine must be 100 percent that variety. About 25 percent of all Alsatian wines are exported to their largest markets in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and the United States. Our grape this week is Pinot Blanc, a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir. In 2000, there were about 3,200 acres of Pinot Blanc planted in France. Almost all of them in Alsace. It’s confusing, and

“We’re big believers in small business.”

despite the AC wine labeling laws for Alsace, some “Pinot Blanc” labeled wines are not all Pinot Blanc. Sometimes, it is just a catch-phrase for “A blend of whatever Pinot grapes.” Sometimes, a splash of Chardonnay may be added. Not legal, but not really watched for either. Fuller-bodied Pinot Blanc wines often are pumped up with Auxerrois. The thing is, a good Pinot Blanc wine is delicious! The flavors and aromas of Pinot Blanc include apple, citrus fruits and floral notes. Beside Alsace, Pinot Blanc is grown in Germany, Austria, northern Italy, the U.S., South Africa, Canada, Argentina and Australia. Our wine this week is from the Pierre Sparr winery, which was founded in 1680 by Jean Sparr. Over the next 300 years, nine generations of the family worked in their vineyards and winery. Pierre Sparr took over the winery in the early 1900’s, at the age of 20. His motto was “invest, progress and maintain,” a motto that is still used today. The Sparr vineyards were mostly destroyed in World War II, but Pierre and his sons replanted them and expanded their trade with Europe and abroad. Just like before the war, the Sparr property once again became one of the most beautiful in Alsace. Our 2011 Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc is 100 percent Pinot Blanc — no wiggling around laws with the Sparrs. The soil where these grapes grow is granite,

limestone, gneiss and chalky clay. There is no irrigation for the trellised vines and the grapes are hand harvested. The vines are 5 to 15 years old. The harvest for the 2011 grapes was September 10 to 25. Almost always in Alsace, harvest is 100 days after the flowering of the vines in the spring. Fermentation for this wine was temperature controlled, with no skin contact and no malolactic fermentation. This wine is a soft yellow color with hints of green. It has aromas of pears, sweet hay, lemon peel, delicate fruits, coriander and minerals; pear and quince flavors pop in the dynamic acidity of the wine. What kind of food pairs well with the Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc? Well, even though we have some German grapes, German-style labels, German bottles, Alsatian foods are a bit more French in style. And, lucky us, their wines go with all kinds of cuisines including creamy sauces, on fish especially; choucroute (cabbage, sausage, potatoes all stewed together); Asian flavors of all types — sushi, wasabi, soy sauce, fish sauce, dim sum, curries, onion tarts (like Quiche Lorraine); ham and cheese; sausages; pork; seafood and shellfish; lobster; goat cheeses; smoked cheeses; smoked meats; game birds; and foods with citrus flavors. Almost everything except tomato sauce. Really, wines from Alsace seem to be really well suited to most foods. With all the ups and downs in their history, it makes sense. So, let’s make a point of drinking these wines more often. This week’s wine can be found at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island for $14.99. Enjoy.

lunch bunch Indulge in custom coffee and crepes at Habersham’s cozy new cafe

LAZY SUSAN’S

There are few things better than to meet up with a group of friends at a cozy, adorably decorated cafe to enjoy good coffee and amazing crepes. This was how the Lunch Bunch spent last Friday afternoon at the new Lazy Susan’s Cafe & Creperie located in Habersham. The restaurant, which opened in July, features a large variety of coffee — from the house blend coffee bar to the french press options to the expertly made espresso drinks. I ordered a non-fat latte and it was served in a cute little red mug and saucer and matching spoon, with a perfect swirl on top (as a former barista myself, I appreciate the craft).

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

With coconut oil, no more fishy burps! By Tracie Korol

Major media has encouraged us to add fish oil to our diets and, more recently, to the diets of our Best Friends. These Omega-3 long chain (LCTs) fatty acids help dogs with osteoarthritis, improving mobility and reducing inflammation, and can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Every store has a section devoted to fish oil. My question: where is it all coming from? To be effective, fish oil should come from North Atlantic cold-water fish. What with sustainability and over-fishing in the media forefront, it might be time to change up the oil situation. The newest, and perhaps, more reliable nutritionally loaded oil is something you’re probably been avoiding for years — either that, or you think it’s a hair care product. Yep, we’re talking about coconut oil. Coconut oil consists of more than 90% saturated fats, with traces of few unsaturated fatty acids. Most of the saturated fats in coconut oil are Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the main component being lauric acid, followed by capric acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid and palmitic. The benefit of lauric acid is that it has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. Capric and caprylic acid have similar properties and are best known for their anti-fungal effects. So, if you have an itchy, smelly dog and nothing from the vet is working for more than 10 days, this might be a good addition to the snack bar. Also, these MCTs are metabolized

quickly providing an immediate source of fuel and energy. Coconut oil can enhance athletic performance and aid weight loss. It can also help balance the thyroid, helping overweight dogs lose weight and helping sedentary dogs feel energetic. As an important ingredient in America’s processed foods for most of the 20th century, coconut oil is one of the world’s few saturated-fat vegetable oils. That designation alone gave it a terrible reputation and by the 1990’s it had all but disappeared from our food supply. Unfortunately, the vegetable oils that replaced it (corn, rapeseed) caused more harm than coconut oil ever did and consequently, coconut oil is enjoying a revival. The one you want to get to know is the unrefined “virgin” oil that is made from fresh coconuts. (The other, usually labeled RDB-Refined, Bleached, Deodorized-is made from copra or dried coconut meat and then treated with chlorine and hexane to remove impurities. It is inexpensive, bland and odorless, usually labeled as a

skin or hair care product.) You’ll most likely find the virgin, organic oil in a glass jar at a health food store or in the better oils section of the grocery. Depending on the temperature, coconut oil will be solid or liquid. Below 75 degrees it is solid and white; above that, it is a transparent liquid. And, it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. If you do, be prepared to chip it out of the jar. While there have been no clinical trials on the effects of coconut oil in a dog’s diet, anecdotal evidence is impressive. Many reports involve beneficial results with itchy skin, cuts, wounds and ear problems. Dogs with flea allergies, contact dermatitis and/or dull coats typically stop scratching after coconut oil is added to their food. An added benefit, I noticed, was with a smelly dog friend of mine, Ramone. You know the kind of dog I mean — the one

that smells like damp carpet all the time. Bathing Ramone was a waste of time and you had to change your clothes and wash your hands immediately after playing with him. Ramone’s owner began to routinely dribble coconut oil onto Ramone’s chow. In less than a month Ramone and his owner enjoyed a stink-free life and Ramone could receive the daily body rubs he deserved. The best way to give coconut oil is in small amounts throughout the day — a dab here and there, depending on the dog’s weight. I will “butter” a dog cookie with a scrape through a designated dog jar of coconut oil for a special treat in addition to stirring a spoonful into a meal. Most dogs are happy to eat a gob from a teaspoon. Of course, as with anything new, you’ll want to start small. Introduce a little coconut oil gradually a little at a time in divided doses — 1/4 tsp for a tiny dog up to a teaspoonful for a big dog. Because coconut oil kills harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeasts and fungi, the burden of removing dead organisms may trigger symptoms of detoxification. Headaches, fatigue, diarrhea and flu-like symptoms are common in humans who consume too much too fast and the same can happen with dogs.
