images of contemporary life by patricia walsh

rdinary images of everyday life cause Beaufort Art Association’s featured artist Patricia Walsh to grab her brush, oils and canvas and start painting. Simple reflections on wet sand, backlit sunlight highlighting a person crossing the street, children playing at the beach, all fill Patricia with immense delight. From her earliest memories, she was fascinated with viewing human

beings as they lived their mysterious lives. Her desire to tell these imagined stories in visual form led her to Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in the early 1970s. Following completion of a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in painting, she remained involved in creative pursuits working as a designer and commercial artist until she began a career in law enforcement.

Speaker Harrell appoints Special CDV Committee With more than 300 South Carolina women killed by domestic abuse over the last 10 years, House Speaker Bobby Harrell said, “There is more that we can do as a state to better protect our citizens and help prevent this type of abuse. It’s time to make South Carolina’s Criminal Domestic Violence laws better.” Speaker Harrell announced the formation of a Special Criminal Domestic Violence Ad Hoc Committee. The committee members will work during the remaining off-session months on ways to improve South Carolina’s current CDV laws and raise public awareness by researching what other states are doing, meeting with experts and formulating new solutions. “Our goal with this special committee is that, by the time session begins in January, the House will have a legislative framework ready to be introduced the first day we come back,” Speaker Harrell said. “Raising awareness and preventing domestic violence in South Carolina will be a priority for the House this coming year. Our state has

several vital areas we need to improve upon and that is why it is important this committee begin its work now.” Rep. Shannon Erickson, R-Beaufort, will chair the 10-member bipartisan committee. “In addition to seeking out better ways to strengthen our state’s CDV laws, I hope this committee will raise awareness of the horrible impact domestic violence inflicts on our neighbors, co-workers and friends,” Chairwoman Erickson stated. “Domestic abuse is a serious crime, and it’s time for our state to start treating it that way. Speaker Harrell has put together a committed group of diverse, hardworking Lawmakers who plan on holding batterers accountable, supporting victims’ rights and breaking the cycle of abuse.” Other committee members: Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter; Rep. MaryGail K. Douglas; Rep. Ralph Shealy Kennedy; Rep. Deborah A. Long; Rep. Peter M. McCoy, Jr.; Rep. Robert L. Ridgeway, III; Rep. Edward R. “Eddie” Tallon, Sr.; Rep. Anne J. Thayer; Rep. J. David Weeks.

Sleeping in contact lenses is a risky endeavor By Mark S. Siegel

Dr. Mark Siegel,

If you’re a contact lens wearer, chances are you’ve snoozed with your contacts in at least a time or two. Maybe you only do it once in awhile, when you fall asleep in front of the TV or forget to bring disinfecting solution on an overnight trip. Or maybe it’s more of a regular practice, and you leave them in for days (and nights) at a time. Either way, it’s not a good idea. When you sleep with your contact lenses in, you’re depriving your corneas of oxygen. This is analogous to wearing a plastic bag over your head when you sleep which is not ideal for oxygen exchange. The cornea receives oxygen from the air when you are awake, but when you are asleep, it gets nourishment and lubrication from tears and a gelatinous fluid inside the eye called the aqueous humor. If there’s a contact lens in your eye when you’re sleeping, then

the contact lens acts as a barrier between the closed eyelid and the cornea, and it’s fairly tight over the surface of the cornea. When you’re awake, the contact lens is actually supposed to move a bit — about a millimeter of movement with every blink — in order to allow the cornea to get oxygen. But when you’re sleeping with your contacts in, the contact lens is unable to move because your eyes aren’t blinking. The end result is an oxygenstarved cornea, which becomes more susceptible to infection. Bacteria or parasites can infect any

microscopic abrasions of the cornea, which can be caused by contact with the back surface of the contact lenses. These bacterial microorganisms are part of our normal eyelid flora or can be introduced from the contact lenses themselves (a contact lens can have some bacteria on it because it’s not clean or it’s been resting on the eyes for so long), or from water, even when it’s safe for drinking. A parasite found in water called acanthamoeba, for example, can cause serious eye infections. Corneal ulcers, which are localized infections of the cornea, may cause permanent scarring resulting in loss of vision or even blindness. In fact, a 2012 study in the journal Ophthalmology showed that the risk for keratitis — inflammation of the cornea — increased 6.5 times with just occasional overnight lens use among people who used contact lenses intended

for removal at the end of the day. While there are some contact lenses that have been FDA-approved for “extended wear,” meaning you can wear them for multiple days at a time, the FDA still recommends people using these lenses remove them and not wear them overnight at least one time a week. However, it’s simply not a good idea to wear these lenses overnight, if you can help it, because there is still an increased risk for infection. Moreover, multiple studies have shown that people who wear extendedwear lenses (soft hydrogel lenses) have a 10 to 15 times higher risk of developing ulcerative keratitis, compared with dailywear contact lens users. Overnight wear, regardless of contact lens type, increases the likelihood of corneal infection, which may result in permanent vision loss or even blindness and should be avoided.

Are we really too busy? By Susan Stone

This week has been full of lessons for me. A single message has come up over and over, almost as a theme. So I trust that what has touched me so profoundly will also touch you. We celebrated my grandson’s fifth birthday this week and we enjoyed being together as a family. It has been too long since we have all been together. We have very busy lives, don’t we all? Even though we all live in Beaufort County, only separated by a few miles, we’re just too busy to get together unless there’s a special occasion. As I said goodbye to my Mama, I told her I missed her and I feel like we should spend more time together. She responded by saying, “We’re all so busy.” I told her, “I don’t want to be too busy to see my Mom.” Coincidently (I love synchronicity), my very wise teacher sent me a CD of one of her talks. She does not call them sermons because her intention is not to preach but to teach. She shared about a woman who had come to her for counsel. This woman

had a sad story to tell. Her father was a hard man. And growing up they were not very close, but after her mother died she and her father tried to mend their Susan Stone relationship. They lived some distance apart and so did not see each other often. Her father invited her for visits, but her work schedule was too busy and something always came up. One year for Father’s Day she found the perfect card. It expressed exactly the sentiment she wanted to send him. It was full of love and forgiveness. The card sat on her desk addressed and sealed, and day after day she intended to buy stamps. Father’s Day came and went with the card still lying on her desk. She comforted herself with the thought, I’ll send it next year. She did not know that next year would be too late. The days and years are rolling by. We always feel that there will be time to do the things we don’t have time for now. What if

we don’t? What if the great teacher Death comes tonight? What would you do if you knew you had one more week? Who would you contact? What would you love to do before you leave this planet? There is only one day: Today! There is only one moment: Now! There are no tomorrows. When you wake up it will be today all over again. If God could give you a watch, it would say NOW. The truth is we are only as busy as we want to be. “No” is a complete sentence. It is one of the most powerful words in the English language. If you will notice, we all get the same 24 hours to work with. Why do some of us have enough time to write letters and read books, or go for a walk?

While the rest of us are running around like chickens with our heads cut off? It has nothing to do with working or retired, children or childless. It is all about choices. If we think that we are the only ones who can do things right, or that we have to do it all, then we are going to be very distracted from what is important, not to mention tired. As a hospice volunteer for over 20 years, I have seen firsthand the regrets of unfinished business. It’s heartbreaking. Too often have I experienced regret in my life. My excuses will not comfort me the next time I miss an opportunity to tell someone how special they are to me. I am grateful for the messages from my 88-year-old teacher. She has lived long enough to understand how simple life is meant to be. Thank you Marian, I’m calling my Mama today. You can find Susan at Beaufort Chiropractic. She is an intuitive healer, Reiki Master, minister and counselor. Author of “We Heard You,” available on Amazon.com You may contact Susan at theriverangel.ss@gmail.com.

musings from the therapist’s chair The truth is not in one opinion or the other but between them. As soon as we think we have the truth tacked down, it shifts. The truth is usually between things, it is dynamic, and ever changing. It is like reading a book that makes you think, “Wow, that is exactly it.” Then you read another book with an entirely different perspective and you say, “No, that is exactly it.” The important thing is to keep an open mind to all the possibilities. Benton Lutz is a psychotherapist in private practice in Beaufort. 4

business

Rourk joins Lifestyle Furniture Outlet in Beaufort Lifestyle Furniture Outlet, located at 1800 Boundary Street in Beaufort, recently hired Beaufort native Julie Rourk as a sales associate. After spending 34 years in Columbia, SC, Julie Rourk has returned to her roots. She brings another local element to Lifestyle Furniture Outlet with her knowledge of the Lowcountry and of the furniture styles that locals crave. “We’re so excited to have Julie as part of our team as she adds a local element to our sales team,” says Jo Stutts, general manager of Lifestyle Furniture Outlet.

Local house FEATURED IN NEW BOOK The Crosby residence in Seabrook, SC, was featured in “Houses for all Regions,” a new book published this month by the American Institute of Architects Custom Residential Architects Network and IMAGES Publishing. The book is described as a “stunning selection of houses designed and adapted to accommodate the demands of location and climate — projects by renowned architectural firms from around the world.” For this project, the clients desired a sustainable retreat that maximized their views. The open center passage is cooled naturally by sitting the house to take advantage of the breeze. In 2012, Frederick + Frederick Architects won the AIA South Carolina Robert Mills Merit Award for the design of the home. The general contractor was Brunson Construction and John McManus was the photographer. The book is available at Historic Beaufort Foundation.

When asked what makes her valuable to consumers, Julie answered, “Customer service is number one and I treat every potential customer as I treat my own Julie family. My goal here Rourk is to help families with all their furniture needs from one generation to the next.” “Lifestyle Furniture Outlet brings a unique furniture shopping experience

to the area,” said Phil Heilker, owner of Lifestyle Furniture Outlet. “Unlike other furnishings retailers, our store is stocked with furniture pieces that are ready to go home with customers that day. We offer an alternative to the standard furniture store methods of ordering furniture and then waiting weeks until it arrives at the customers home.” Lifestyle Furniture Outlet offers long lasting furniture at affordable prices. The store’s mission is to provide Beaufort with the stylish furniture that everyone wants for their homes. From the leather

enthusiast to coastal living styles with color and durability, they have it all, in stock now and at prices everyone can afford. “Our motto is ‘Quality Affordable Furniture In Stock Now,’ ” says Jo Stutts, “and that’s what we offer to every customer who comes through our doors.” Lifestyle Furniture Outlet is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Jo Stutts at 843-379-2056 or visit online at www.lfobeaufort.com.

Herban Marketplace moves to new location Herban Marketplace, the Lowcountry’s premier organic grocery, is relocating to a larger space just two doors down form its current location at Newcastle Square in uptown Beaufort. Owner Greta Lynne is responding to an opportunity to enlarge the store’s retail space after Suzara’s Kitchen vacated their space. The anticipated opening date for the updated 2,000- square-foot store is Monday, Sept. 8 at 10 a.m.

Winning business During Business Week from August 1822 at Marine Federal Credit Union in Beaufort, Business Development Officer Lynn McCartney and the staff at the branch highlighted business accounts. They had a raffle for anyone who attended and had questions about their business accounts. Mrs. Alfreda Harris, pictured at left, won the grand prize. The branch had coffee and cookies or donuts on the display table for the whole week. They secured a new business account for their efforts and were able to let potential members know what they have to offer. Lynn McCartney said, “We gathered names too for follow up calls. A special thank you goes out to the marketing and business services departments for their assistance.”

With this move, Herban Marketplace will bring organic and all-natural produce and products to a larger audience. The new space will include a demonstration kitchen and increased space for health and beauty products, fresh organic produce and packaged goods. “We are almost doubling our space, so our customers will have more elbow-room and an even greater product selection in all areas,” said Lynne. “We also plan

on eventually providing some delivery options, since we will now have much more storage space.” Herban Marketplace will continue to serve its fresh, organic juices and smoothies as well as an expanded menu of salads, wraps and chilled meals in the “grab & go” case many with vegan, vegetarian, raw and gluten free selections. The ever-popular soup kettle will also remain on the menu. Visit herbanmarketplace.com.

WITH FASHION

Local cancer survivor Nancy Harris Vista is chairwoman of Belles, Baubles and Burlap to benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice By Wendy Pollitzer

Nancy Harris Vista is no stranger to the Lowcountry. A businesswoman, a philanthropist and a stalwart member of the Port Royal community since 1992, Vista embraces the art of giving back. And now, a breast cancer survivor, she wants to celebrate her journey and reciprocate her appreciation for life by giving back to an organization she reveres as a valuable asset to Beaufort County. Friends of Caroline Hospice is dedicated to providing the highest quality end-of-life care that focuses on enhancing the overall comfort for terminally ill patients with a prognosis of six months or less. Vista came very close to needing Friends of Caroline Hospice’s services and wants more people to know the significance and merit of hospice care. Vista was diagnosed with Stage 4 triple negative breast cancer in August 2013. Triple negative breast cancer occurs in 10% to 20% of breast cancer patients and can be more aggressive and difficult to treat. Also, the cancer is more likely to spread and recur. After several rounds of failed chemotherapy treatments last fall, Vista was losing hope. But then, late that winter, she turned a corner. “I truly believe in divine intervention. Something, and I don’t know exactly what, started working. The tumors are gone. I am so grateful,” explains Vista. About that time, Sharon Dwyer, director at Friends of Caroline Hospice, approached Vista while judging the wings competition at the annual event, Bands, Brews and

BBQ. Vista inquired about the annual fashion show that normally is held in the spring. Dwyer explained that the fashion show was going to be held in the fall this year and asked Vista if she would be interested in helping plan the event. Vista agreed to chair the fashion show committee to benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice. She’s the perfect fit for the role. Vista has years of experience planning successful events, owns a popular women’s apparel store in Port Royal called Nuances, and truly appreciates the value of hospice and palliative care. “I’m excited to chair this year’s event, Belles, Baubles and Burlap, Fashion for Compassion. I think women in the community are going to be in for a treat,” says Vista. This year, the fashion show will be

held at the Dataw Island Clubhouse on Wednesday, September 17 at 11:30 a.m. The show will feature over 30 fashions from 13 area retailers, a live and silent auction and a delicious luncheon catered by Dataw. The emcee again this year is Deanna Bowdish, and Ash Milner will offer DJ services. All proceeds will support bereavement and caregiver support services at Friends of Caroline Hospice. Vista is still receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments but maintains a positive outlook and is very appreciative of the community that has helped her

through this difficult time. “The people here are amazing. Everyone has been over-the-top generous with support,” says Vista. “I want this fashion show to be a celebration ... of community, of perseverance ... of life.” The fashion show brings women together from all walks of life, young and old, not only to enjoy today’s trends and fashions, but also to rejoice in fellowship. This year, Vista wants everyone to remember why they’re there. “What happened to me could happen to your mother, your daughter, your sister, or your friend. I hope all of the women who attend will pay silent tribute to those who have been diagnosed with and those we have lost to this horrible disease.” Of course, Friends of Caroline Hospice, assists patients and families who have been diagnosed with a variety of illnesses and has been providing quality care for the Beaufort and Port Royal communities for over 30 years. The fashion show’s popularity with local women is a testament to Friends of Caroline Hospice’s legacy of trust within the community, and it continues the tradition of bringing ladies together for a classic luncheon. To purchase tickets to the fashion show, please call Friends of Caroline Hospice at 843-525-6257. Single tickets are $55 and tables of 10 are $500. Seating is limited, so be sure to make a reservation by Tuesday, Sept. 9.

The challenge of towing a power boat down I-95 Now what?

By Lee Scott

We travelers see things all kinds of things in our travels up and down major interstates. Along with speeding buses, there is an endless parade of FedEx trucks, Walmart trucks and numerous nondescript tractor-trailers. There are the RVs filled with Canadians heading south in the winter, and north again in the spring like migrating birds. There are college students with all their worldly belongings piled up in the back seat as they relocate from home to college, and minivans packed with kids as families return from vacation, bicycles hanging off the back of the vehicle. It is also amazing to see all the things that are towed: motorcycles, go-carts, cars, U-hauls and, of course, boats. And although I have experienced the towing of a boat behind our truck locally within a few miles of our house, it was totally another story towing a boat down Interstate 95 from Washington, D.C., to South Carolina. First of all, anyone familiar with the D.C. region knows of the treacherous road conditions. Large interstates pour

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.

into one another — I-495, I-395, I-295 — and the list of “I”s goes on as you travel farther south. The Springfield bowl is an engineer’s dream of pouring mass quantities of humans in speeding vehicles from one end of the region to the next. This particular area is interesting when driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck towing a 22-foot center console boat. The cars and 18 wheelers merging onto the highways at 65 miles per hour can be a challenge when trailering anything. One has to hope that the car doing the merging understands that they can’t just pull out behind you immediately. Then there is the jersey wall challenge. There are long stretches of construction on I-95 from New England to Florida,

and for some reason, along many stretches, these jersey walls have been moved inside of the old white lines. By the looks of the black and white marks on the walls, it appears many vehicles have slid into these concrete barriers. Of course, it is inevitable that when there are jersey walls on both sides of a small bridge, an 18-wheeler truck will choose that moment to pass! It is a challenge not to side swipe the jersey wall or the truck. Then there are drivers that don’t understand that you are moving over to the left passing lane because there is a car ahead going 45 miles per hour, or worse, another pickup is towing a boat larger than yours. You have to pass them. Frustrated, oncoming vehicles drive up to the back of the trailered boat, fly into the right lane to pass you on the right

and slip between you and the vehicle you are trying to pass. Of course, three other cars have to pass you on the right as you attempt, with your right hand turn signal on, to get back into your normal lane. But first, you have to make sure you have enough speed to get over before another car going 80 mph attempts to pass you on the right. All the rearview and side mirrors can’t anticipate the idiot riding your tail who decides to pull out. Gas stations are another interesting challenge. You pull into an end lane to fuel the truck and suddenly 50 other cars seem to need fuel also. (Did I mention that pulling a boat lowers your gas mileage considerably? As you pull out of your lane to attempt to get back to the highway, cars are pulling out in front of you because no one wants to get stuck behind the truck with the boat. Now I can understand this feeling, but having to suddenly stop for a white Cadillac cutting us off, necessitated a long horn blast! My sympathies go out to anyone pulling a boat, or anything else, on the major highways. My suggestion is to leave very early to avoid any traffic congestion, watch out for the nuts on the road and get to your destination safely.

The statewide winner will receive a $500 prize underwritten by AT&T.

I believe we at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts have put together a season of stunning quality that gives those who live here and those who visit Beaufort multiple opportunities to experience the arts. My job as the director of the Center for the Arts is to rally support for the arts and the artists who make it happen; to ensure that local artists have the time and space to create and be seen; to show how vital it is to let a child play and how life-affirming it is to awaken the long-suppressed performer in an adult. Most importantly, my job is to ensure that every single person who comes in contact with the center will have a creative and artistic experience. The “value” of the arts is important to our community, not only for its entertainment value but also for its role as a contributor to the area’s economic development. The center’s success is nurtured by a university partner,

supported by a great many contributors and sponsors, strengthened by a talented pool of creative individuals as well as continuously applauded by those who purchase tickets to attend our events. What we do “by the numbers” as a self-supporting, nonprofit organization is remarkable. In the 2013-14 season, the center delivered: 40 independent films; 24 live performances in music, dance and theatre; 2 Beaufort Children’s Theatre productions; 6 school district shows; 10 MET Live in HD opera performances; 8 art gallery exhibitions featuring 30 local and regional artists; and countless hours in education and arts enrichment. As we kick off our 2014-15 season with the opening night performance of Beaufort Theatre Company’s production of “Grease” on September 5, I invite you to participate in the activities of the center, to be a part of what makes our community distinct and to discover the innovative nature of the arts. In other words, “Be at the center of it all.”

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.

Amanda McNulty, host of ETV’s “Making It Grow,” will appear in Beaufort’s version of the show on Saturday, September 13 at noon in the season finale of “Keeping It Growing.” The show will feature a panel of Master Gardeners, hosted by Amanda, at the Port Royal Farmers Market Gazebo in Naval Heritage Park. This is the final episode of Lunch and Learn, the summer-long series of classes and lectures about horticulture and gardening presented by

the Lowcountry Master Gardener Association. The show’s producer, Sandra Educate, says, “The talent from the Master Gardener pool and local professionals is amazing. They have donated over 200 trees, plants and shrubs as door prizes during the series. People come from all over Beaufort County to attend these free classes. This is our fourth year of the series that won an International Master Gardeners award.” Clemson Extension Agent, Laura Lee Rose,

Age 18 all or 21 –your Age of majority (differs by state). Money set aside for you in UTMA/UGMA accounts for minors is now legally yours. Age 25 and 30 – Auto insurance premiums typically decrease, assuming you have a good driving record. Age 26-Dependent status ends. Even if you are a full time student, you cannot be carried as a dependent on your parents’ tax return. Age 50 – A welcome letter from the American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) usually arrives. You may be eligible for senior discounts in restaurants, at department stores, and on travel services. Age 55 – You may be able to access funds from a 401(k) plan if you leave your employer and the plan includes an early retirement provision. This may also be a good time to consider IRA rollovers. Age 59 1/2 – You are past the 10 percent penalty tax on withdrawals from traditional IRAs, annuities, and qualified retirement plans. You may want to leave this money untouched to continue its tax-deferred growth. Age 62 – Earliest age to receive Social Security retirement benefits, but amounts are reduced. Also, you may lose some of your benefits if you continue working and earn income over a certain amount. Age 65 – Traditionally the normal retirement age for full Social Security benefits, however, an increase to age 67 for full benefits is being phased in. Good news: You may work as much as you want without losing any benefits once you reach your full retirement age (age 65 for persons born before 1938; gradually increases to age 67 for those born in 1960 or after). Age 70 – Deferring receipt of Social Security retirement benefits until this age generates the maximum annual benefits. Weigh this option against the opportunity to invest the money if you begin receiving benefits at an early age. Age 70 1/2 – Required Minimum Distributions from traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans must begin. Age 90 – The default distribution option on an annuity contract may automatically activate at this age, so contact the company ahead of time to select a distribution option to best fit your needs. Age 100 – Most cash value life insurance policies endow, meaning benefits are paid as if you had died. If you don’t need the money for long-term care expenses, perhaps it’s time to set up college accounts for great-grandchildren.

From fishing to football, the hard work of athletes of all ages deserves recognition

Beaufort High falls to Colleton County in opener Beaufort High dropped its season opener, falling to Colleton County last Friday night. Colleton County pulled away to win 32-20 in the early-season high school football matchup. The Eagles suffered their first loss to Colleton County since the 2006 season. Beaufort High executed well at times during the

season opener. Offensively, Jeffrey Tookes rushed for two touchdowns and a two-point conversion and Keaton Butler hauled in a touchdown reception from quarterback Courtney Piatt, who was making his first start at the signal-caller position. Defensively for the Eagles, Nathan Parker recorded

an interception while Malcolm Simmons forced a fumble and made the recovery. The Beaufort High football team is under the direction of head coach Mark Clifford. Beaufort High will be back in action at Bluffton on Friday, Sept. 5.

Club Karate hosts tournament

Recently, Club Karate hosted a black belt testing and seminar for the United Fighting Arts Federation, the Chuck Norris system of karate. Students and their instructors from seven states gathered for the two day event. Two of Club Karate’s students, Ron Marcell and Charlie Spears, earned their first degree black belt. Mr. Marcell is a retired Navy chief and currently the Emergency Management Officer at Naval Hospital Beaufort. When asked how martial arts training benefitted him, Mr. Marcell replied, “Every time I train, I leave class with one more grain of capability. Though maybe not visible on any given day, or week, or month, nevertheless, grain by grain, I improve. That moves me. That inspires me to attend to the details of martial training; to seek those grains.” History was made when Beaufort native Charlie Spears became the oldest person to test for a black

belt in the United Fighting Arts Federation. He was 72 years old the day of the test. He says, “I look forward to maintaining my physical conditioning and enjoying the

friendship and camaraderie of my fellow students. Hopefully, for life!” The next day his son, David Spears, earned his second degree black belt. David said, “It’s hard to put into words the feeling I felt testing with my father for our black belts together, I’m very proud of his accomplishments in Chun Kuk Do. I have twin boys that are now taking Chun Kuk Do and are Lil’ Dragons and they enjoy it very much at this time. Now my family has three generations of Chun Kuk Do martial artists. I know this is a family tradition in the making.” Making a black belt, or a higher degree of black belt, is no easy task, no matter what the age. It takes many years of commitment and training to achieve. All three of these gentlemen should be proud of their accomplishments. Club Karate is located on Lady’s Island and has been in business for over 26 years. For more information, call 843-252-7283.

BA drops game in new head coach debut The Beaufort Academy football team fell short in new head coach Scott Richards’ debut as host W.W. King pulled away to win 28-12 last Friday, Aug. 29.

Reyn Robinson rushed for 199 yards and two touchdowns. He also racked up 79 receiving yards. Through the air for BA, Clay Melville completed five of

nine passes for 69 yards. Tucker Trask completed two of six passes for 10 yards in the setback. Melville led Beaufort Academy on defense, registering a game-high 19 tackles and one sack. William Gallant recorded 10 tackles, including a pair for losses. Ashton Guest registered eight tackles and Cain Richards recorded five.

sister Samantha, “Boyhood” charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. “Boyhood” is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.

‘A Season of Wonders’ shakespeare rep announces 2014-15 season

Shakespeare Rep has announced its 2014-15 season lineup. A Season of Wonders will pair two enchanting romantic comedies that spotlight the magic of love: “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani and William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The season opens on October 10 with “Almost, Maine,” a contemporary romantic comedy, at the USCB Center for the Arts. The quirky, offbeat comedy has broken box office records at theatres across the country, and is currently one of the most produced plays in America. The play has earned immense critical acclaim for its poignant exploration of loss and loss in a remote town in upstate Maine. The New York Times described the play as “a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism ... This is a beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy) and passing references to characters from other vignettes, which slyly tell us more about them.” The New York Post wrote, “The show offers a sweetness and decency that’s become rare at the theater. At this point, it’s a welcome breath of fresh air.” Shakespeare’s superb comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will play at the Center for the Arts from March 19-22. The production brings together some of the area’s finest acting talent, along with guest artists from London, Chicago and Nashville. Artistic Director Debra Charlton remarks, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be our most ambitious production to date. We are thrilled to bring together a world-class acting ensemble to stage one of Shakespeare’s most luminous and joyful comedies.” Tickets for both productions are now on sale through the Center for the Arts website www.

continued from page 1 Patricia’s challenging work in the prison system affected her deeply, especially as she interacted with people who had lived vastly different lives than her own. The years she spent as a gang investigator encouraged her to return to painting. “I became increasingly interested in the human impulse to communicate using visual imagery and symbols by studying gang graffiti in the urban environment,” admits Patricia. She was drawn more and more intensely to produce her own artwork, and was able to retire in 2007 to become a full-time artist. “Capturing moments of time and place by using the interactions of people with 16

their environments remains the central area of my exploration” maintains Patricia, “however I have become increasingly consumed by the painting process itself.” The narrative quality of her work becomes entangled with more abstract themes of pattern, mark-making and the manipulation of oil paints. In 2012, Patricia moved from New England to South Carolina and currently resides on St. Helena Island. Though remaining interested in urban life and scenes of contemporary life and culture, Patricia confesses she is living more “in sand” than “on pavement” these days. The exhibit of Patricia Walsh’s art begins Monday, Sept. 15 and continues through October 25. An opening reception will take place on Friday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at BAA gallery on Bay Street. The public is invited to attend.

Back at home, with a new jewel of a wine Chateau St Jean Bijou Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay grapes at the winery in California. “Bijou” means “jewel” in French.

By Celia Strong

Well, my world travels are over for the moment. It took a bit of extra time (like nine hours more than the original schedule) and fortitude on the return trip from my visit to Italy, but home was reached. Having done that, it became the choice for this week’s wine to come home to a new American one. So, off to California we travel. We are going to Sonoma County, and to our winery for the first time — Chateau St Jean. First, and there has been some confusion on this over the years, they pronounce it “jean.” It may look like a French chateau, and it may be spelled like the French name for “John,” but “jean” it is. Founded in 1973, Chateau St Jean is located at the foot of Sugarloaf Ridge in Sonoma Valley, near the town of Kenwood. The winery is recognized as a leader in vineyard designated wines. And, the winemaker, Margo Van Staaveren, has been with them for 30 years. (The 2011 vintage was her thirtysecond at Chateau St Jean.) The winery and the chateau were designed to keep control of their grapes and wines close to home and to enhance, with gardens and terraces, their visitors’ enjoyment of these wines. There is a statue of Jean, their namesake and Saint John to us, in the main courtyard by a decorative fountain. In 1999, Chateau

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

St Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be receive the “Wine of the Year” award, a very prestigious honor from Wine Spectator Magazine. The award was for their 1996 Cinq Cépages, a Bordeaux style red blend. At Chateau St Jean, there really is a chateau. It was built in 1920 as a summer home for Ernest and Maude Goff and their family. This family had made a large, large amount of money in iron mines and lumber in the PacificNorthwest. The property had 250 acres where they did plant white grapes, only white grapes, which seems contrary to their later praises for the Cinq Cépages. When Prohibition came, the Goffs changed to growing prunes (yes, I know they start as plums) and walnuts. When the winery, Chateau St Jean, was established in 1973, the chateau was totally restored and opened to the public. It is now listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Another part of what we need to learn for our wine this week is about the art

of not oaking wines. Most of us, having done all the drinking and studying and tasting that we have done, realize that the use of oak in making a bottle of wine can add flavors and textures and complexities. And some wines just have it done better than others. Well, I think we have to accept that unoaked wines can have “unoaking” done better in some wines. Oak or no oak is a style, resulting in different styles of wine. Duh. Neither one better than the other, just different. The most common place we find “unoaked” used is with Chardonnays. Winemakers of Chardonnay all over the world are choosing to not use oak. Chardonnay is actually a fairly neutral grape, hard to believe when it has so many flavors in its wines, but true. In fact, it was this neutral character that made it a good candidate for oak barrel fermenting and/or aging. Unoaked, though, we get a lighter, crisper, fresher style of wine with just as many flavors, although just flavors of the grape itself. It’s interesting to note that some wineries make both oaked and unoaked Chardonnay. Tasting these side by side is a very enlightening wine experience! When pairing unoaked Chardonnays with food, we find they do well with high salt foods, low sweetness foods, moderate fats and oils. Shellfish and fish are delicious with the lighter, crisper unoaked Chards. Firm cheeses like cheddar and imported swiss do better than creamier cheeses like Brie. Cream sauces do not do well with the acidity of unoaked Chardonnays. Fried foods,

crispy, do better. Now, for our wine of the week: Chateau St Jean Bijou Chardonnay. “Bijou” is a French word that Chateau St Jean chose this as the name for its new, mostly unoaked Chardonnay because it means “jewel.” Not necessarily expensive, but it can be just a pretty, shiny trinket. Like this wine. This wine is made from 100 percent Chardonnay. Whole clusters of grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks to make this wine. A little, little bit of French oak is used in the fermentation to add a little, little bit of creaminess and texture to the final blend. Malolactic fermentation to reduce the acidity and sur lie aging to add richness and depth are both part if making this wine. (See, the art of making unoaked wine!) The finished wine has tropical aromas of passion fruit and guava, as well as lemons and pears. Flavors of pineapples, peaches, nectarines, citrus and kiwi come with your first sip. Juicy textures fill your mouth. The grapes’ natural acidity shows in the finish and makes this a great food wine. My first taste of this wine was with crispy, fried shrimp. Yum, yum. Now that we’ve learned a bit about unoaked Chardonnay, we almost have one. Only, there’s a woman at Chateau St Jean who decided almost was better. And, when you taste the Chateau St Jean Bijou, you’ll see exactly why. Not really oaked, but kissed with some. Subtle and delicious, loaded with fruit flavors and great textures. Yes, we might say, a real jewel of a Chardonnay. A real jewel of a wine. For only $8.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.

The appeal of the Chinese buffet at Jade Garden lies in the sheer variety of food available to hungry diners. The Lunch Bunch was eager to join the bustling crowd last week at the restaurant on Boundary Street. Truly, the buffet offers such a selection — from sushi to stir fry to fried bananas — there is something for everyone.

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

Is your dog a manipulator? By Tracie Korol

People tolerate behavior in their dogs they would never tolerate in fellow human beings. You would never allow your nephew to punch visitors in the crotch to say hello, or slobber on your girlfriend because he’s happy to see her. Dog owners make excuses like, “oh, he’s just being friendly” when the dog leaps up and rakes his nails across the neighbor’s bare legs or “she must have done something to upset him” after the dog rips a hole in the mail carrier’s sleeve. My favorite excuse for bad dog manners is “he was abused before we got him.” When an owner has been unsuccessful in creating clear rules and expectations for his dog and then said dog couples that with her instinctual mantra,“what’s in it for me?”, the end result is some form of chaos. For instance, Merlin, a large exuberant herding cross, does not come when he is called, ever. Why? Because there’s nothing in it for him. However, he has learned that if he plays chicken in the front yard long enough, his exasperated owner will open the car door, cheer him in and then take him for a ride around the neighborhood. Score! There’s something in it for him now. Merlin loves car rides. And because Merlin is a clever pet, he added door crashing to the activity. (You know, that unattractive behavior when you crack open the door and the dog muscles you out of the way and speeds out in a blur.) Now he gets his car ride on demand. What a brilliant manipulator! June bites at her owner because it

elicits a huge response, guaranteed. Biting usually does. June doesn’t get enough attention in her busy household so she has learned exactly what behavior is going to get her the biggest reward. (Dogs don’t differentiate positive from negative; attention is attention.) In both instances the manipulator is in charge. In both instances there is a lack of leadership. A dog’s mental health depends on leadership. People will often mislabel this as dominance, but that is a simplification borne of watching too many dogtraining TV shows. When living in social groups, canids will establish leadership hierarchies that dictate access to resources such as food, resting places, favored possessions, territory and mates. The social relationship is naturally extended to the human members of their household. These leadership behaviors often occur without aggression and instead, come to be about control of the outcome. In domestic canid groupings, overt aggression is rare and deference common. Owners often inadvertently reinforce a leadership outcome for the dog by deferring to the dog’s demands. Plus, some owners are

pure patsies. This sets the dog up as the one in charge, and each interaction that ends with deference to the dog reinforces that behavior. Each time Merlin hops into the car and happily rides shotgun around the block, his bad manners of not coming when called are reinforced. The high point of Merlin’s day is the reward of watching his owner shrieking, waving her arms around, chasing him around the yard and then, taking him for a ride. It sounds like great dog fun. Other behavior occurs because it can. In other words, the owners do not prevent the dog from engaging in a certain behavior and that in itself can be reinforcing. For instance, counter-cruisers (usually the tall guys) will occasionally score a huge reward that only encourages them to keep

cruising. How many times have you heard the story of the rump roast taken out to thaw that was sucked down in seconds by the family lab? It happened at my house. Once. The solution to curbing a manipulator’s creativity and enthusiasm is a three-step process. First, your dog gets a new mantra — “nothing in life is free”. The goal is for the dog to “earn” everything he desires by deferring to the owner. Deference is accomplished when the dog follows the request to do, whatever — sit, down, come, get the ball, be a dog and stay on the floor. The catch is that he has to do what you ask when you ask it, not before and not 20 minutes later. It takes a little discipline on our part to remain consistent and not give in to those big, sweet eyes, but the reward is that our pets are not a constant trial. Then, he learns that you have opposable thumbs and are in control of his environment. Any attention he receives is at your grace. You give him attention on your initiative; you only give attention and reward his fine behavior when he is calm and quiet and acquiescent. And finally, he learns that you are center of his universe. You call the shots. He learns to focus on you and wait for instruction.
