SCHOOLS • Original art is a collection of Gordon W. Bailey • A few years before artist Sam Doyle died, he traveled from his modest twostory wood house on St. Helena Island to the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. to attend an important exhibition. The seminal 1982 event, Black Folk Art in America: 1930-1980, showcased works by some of the most talented,
African American, self-taught artists in the country and included a number of Doyle’s captivating paintings. At the members’ preview, the Lowcountry artist was photographed shaking hands with the First Lady of the United States, Nancy Reagan. The museum’s chief curator, Jane Livingston, raved to the Beaufort Gazette,
“His paintings are almost lyrical.” The event firmly established Doyle’s reputation. Since his death in 1985, Doyle’s paintings have traveled far and wide; many have entered prominent collections. The now highly-valued, neo-expressionist, DOYLE continued on page 16

Although the South Carolina Department of Transportation’s schedule called for Bay Street’s paving to last four days, Beaufort city officials were hopeful it would be completed much quicker with the accelerated aroundthe-clock schedule.

Arson Suspect Arrested A St. Helena man has been arrested in connection with a fire that destroyed a home on Legree Road. Thirty-two year old Willie Antonio Aiken was arrested Monday night on one count of Arson. Aiken is believed to have intentionally set the fire that consumed the home of his ex-girlfriend, 39-year-old Aldrena McKinnon. Deputies responded to a reported structure fire at 10 Legree Rd just after 4:30 pm yesterday. Upon arrival, the home was fully engulfed in flames. No one was inside the home at the time the fire broke out, and no injuries were reported. A child living at the home, who had been visiting a family member across the street, advised that she had gone home to get something and found Aiken inside. Aiken reportedly told the child to leave, which she did. However, she went back in a few minutes later and noticed Aiken pouring an unknown liquid onto the floor of the laundry room. She then saw Aiken striking matches and throwing them into the liquid, so she immediately left the home.
Witnesses reported seeing Aiken leave in a green Chevy Suburban, taking a rarely-used pathway, and moments later smoke was seen pouring from the home. Deputies made contact with Aiken at a family member’s home on Clarence Mitchell Rd. Aiken was interviewed and eventually placed under arrest for Arson. Additionally, the Sheriff ’s Office is also investigating a vehicle fire that occurred Monday, Sept. 2 and is believed to be associated with the Legree Rd home fire. At approximately 3 p.m. yesterday, Aiken reported that his 2013 Buick Century was missing, and that he believed it had been taken without his permission by McKinnon’s 15-yearold son. The vehicle was found just after 5 p.m. in the parking lot of the Gloria Potts Community Center (130 Seaside Road), also fully engulfed in flames. The vehicle sustained extensive fire damage, leaving it a total loss. Anyone with information regarding the investigations into the home and/ or vehicle fire is asked to contact Investigator Cpl. B. Disbrow at 843255-3407 or Crimestoppers.

Quite the catch
Craig and Jana Reaves Keep it Fresh and Local at Sea Eagle Market By William Laney One thing that makes Beaufort different from hundreds of thousands of other towns in America is its location and connection to the sea. And one family makes that unique connection come alive through Sea Eagle Market. “We want to say thank you for voting us Beaufort’s Best Seafood for the last three years,” said Craig and Jana Reaves, owners and managers of the market. “From our Boats to your table is more than just a slogan for all of us here at Sea Eagle. We catch what we can, and then we work with local docks and fishermen to bring you the freshest seafood available every day.” What is the key to their business success in Beaufort? “ Treat people the way you want to be treated,” said Craig. He also credits all the hardworking members of the Sea Eagle team, adding with a smile, “Our crew is a motley crew, but they are a vital and important part of our family.” Craig and Jana were both born and raised in Holden Beach, North Carolina. For Craig, seafood is his family heritage: The Reaves family has been in the seafood business for more than 40 years, so it’s all he has ever done. He said, “We have diversified from being shrimpers to oystermen to crabbers to wholesale seafood sellers to now having two retail store locations. God has blessed us tremendously!” Craig and Jana purchased Sea Eagle Market on Boundary Street in 2007. Craig’s parents, Laten and Alice Reaves, and brother, Cameron also work supporting important aspects of the Reaves family seafood businesses. When asked about his role at Sea Eagle, Craig said with a laugh, “I wear a lot of hats. I’m a commercial fisherman — shrimper, oysterman, crabber — caterer, salesman, and just do whatever it takes to get the job done.” Jana mainly keeps the office running, but you can also see her smiling face at catering events, festivals, and occasionally up front in the market. Craig and Jana met at one of the Reaves Family Restaurants in 1991 and were married in a Reaves Family Restaurant on Harbor Island in 1992. Craig first heard about Jana when she and her friend Amy applied for a job at the Reaves Family Restaurant in Holden Beach, N.C. While Craig was looking over applications, he came across her name and said, “What is a Jana? Call her.” And the rest is history. Craig and Jana have raised three children in Beaufort: Melena Argetsinger, 22; CJ Reaves, 20; and Molleigh Reaves 5. Says Jana, “In addition, we have been blessed to have a couple of other young people in our lives. Brandon Wells came into our lives when he was just 13; and now he is 21 and running his own shrimp boat. Michael Evans has been a part of our family off and on since he was 4. He is now 19 and in his second year at West Point.” Craig, daughter Melena and Ted Baker have come together to form Smokin Sea Eagle Competition BBQ Cook Team, traveling the state competing in barbecue competitions. “We like to compete in cooking challenges,” Craig said. Their hard work and talents have paid off. They won the Beaufort Shrimp Festival’s Silver Cup in 2011 and best dessert at the Yemassee Shrimp Festival in 2012, and recently won first place in Pulled Pork at the 2013 Hilton Head Island Rib Burn Off. Currently, Craig is serving on the board of directors for the South Carolina Seafood Alliance. He said, “ The South Carolina Seafood Alliance has been 6
working hard with the South Carolina Department of Agriculture to help keep South Carolina Seafood in South Carolina.” Says Craig, “Our newest venture is our CSF, or Community Supported Fishery. This is an opportunity for our community to support local fishermen. The fishing community has struggled for the last 10 to 12 years and now we want to give our consumers an opportunity to help save the seafood industry in South Carolina. By supporting the CSF you will be giving local fishermen a hand up so they can go and catch the freshest seafood for you.” The Community Supported Fishery saves money and helps save local fishing heritage CSF members pre-pay for a “season” of freshly caught seafood. In return, Sea Eagle Market provides a weekly share of premium, locally caught, seasonal fish, shrimp and/or shellfish that the member picks up at the store. Members can save up to $180 with the silver program and up to $360 with the gold program. The first cycle begins October 1, so sign up before September 21 to join the fall CSF season at seaeaglemarket.com. Craig said, “We are proud to say we are creating jobs, putting people to work in hard economic times. We can only do this as a result of our community supporting us. Again, we say thank you!” He adds, “We have all called Beaufort home for 21 years. Beaufort is a very special place for us. It’s full of great people with great stories. We feel blessed to be able to do what we love, commercial fishing, to make a living just like generations before us.” Beaufort is similarly blessed to have the Reaves family and their employees, working hard daily to provide fresh locally caught seafood to the community.

Michael C. Staley, MD, joins Coastal Carolina Urology Board-certified urologist will be performing state-of-the-art robotic surgery at Beaufort Memorial Hospital In a continuing effort to expand its minimally invasive surgery program, Beaufort Memorial Hospital has started offering robot-assisted prostatectomies, providing patients a faster, easier recovery with less pain. Dr. Michael Staley, a board-certified urologist, is currently the only surgeon in Beaufort County performing the state-ofthe-art laparoscopic procedure, one of several options for treating early stage prostate cancer. Staley recently joined Coastal Carolina Urology Group and the Beaufort Memorial medical staff, after practicing 13 years with Asheville Urological Associates in North Carolina. Dr. Staley will be seeing patients at Coastal Carolina Urology Group’s Beaufort office, 1055 Ribaut Rd., and south of the Broad at Beaufort Memorial Bluffton Medical Services in Westbury Park. For more information or to make an appointment at either location, call (843) 524-7607. “We are delighted to have a physician with Dr. Staley’s experience join the medical staff at Beaufort Memorial,” said hospital President & CEO Rick Toomey. “His skills and exceptional background will complement both his partners and the other physicians practicing at BMH as we continue to meet the healthcare needs of our community.” Dr. Staley grew up in Columbia and earned a BS in Chemistry at the University
of South Carolina and an MBA at Georgia State University before pursuing his MD at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. After Dr. Michael C. graduating in 1994, he interned at Medical Staley Center Hospital in Burlington, Vt., and returned to MUSC for his urology residency, where he had the distinction of serving as chief resident in his final year. Dr. Staley, his wife Gina, and two children have been vacationing on Fripp Island for years. “We’ve always had the desire to move back to the Lowcountry,” Staley said.“Joining Beaufort Memorial has afforded us that opportunity.” Along with the treatment of prostate cancer, Staley has more than a decade of experience treating other urological cancers, BPH, kidney stones and general urologic issues in both men and women. Radical prostatectomy—the surgical removal of the prostate and surrounding tissue—is considered the gold standard of treatment for patients whose cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. “It not only eradicates the disease, it allows the physician to more precisely determine the stage of the cancer based on a pathological specimen,” said Staley.
Must-do’s to preserve vision in diabetics By Mark S. Siegel, MD, FAAO
If you have diabetes, you are at higher risk of developing certain eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinal detachment. The good news is that you can preserve your vision and reduce your chances of eye disease. Follow these steps now to make sure you preserve your vision in the years to come. Get a comprehensive dilated eye examination from your ophthalmologist at least once a year. In its early stages, diabetic eye disease often has no symptoms. A dilated eye exam allows your ophthalmologist to examine more thoroughly the retina and optic nerve for signs of damage before you notice any change to your vision. Regularly monitoring your eyes’ health allows your ophthalmologist to begin treatment as soon as possible if signs of disease do appear. Control your blood sugar. When your blood sugar is too high, it can affect the shape of your eye’s lens, causing blurry vision, which goes back to normal after your blood sugar stabilizes. High blood sugar can also damage the blood vessels in your eyes. Maintaining good control of your blood sugar helps prevent these problems. If you cannot control your blood sugars in conjunction with your primary care doctor, then consider an endocrinology consult. An
Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com. 525-1500. endocrinologist is a specialist in diabetes and other hormonal diseases. Maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. High blood pressure and high cholesterol can put you at greater risk for eye disease and vision loss. Keeping both under control will not only help your eyes but your overall health. Quit smoking. If you smoke, your risk for diabetic retinopathy and other diabetes-related eye diseases is higher. Giving up tobacco will help reduce that risk. Exercise. Exercise is good for your eyes. It’s also good for your diabetes. Regular exercise can help your eyes stay as healthy as possible while helping to control your diabetes. If you have diabetes, you can preserve good vision.

For patients who are candidates for surgery, a robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy is the most advanced treatment option. Operating through several tiny holes in the abdomen, surgeons can remove the cancerous prostate while working to preserve the vital nerves and arteries that control bladder and sexual function. “There is significantly less blood loss and post-operative pain with robotic surgery,” said Staley, who has been performing robotic prostatectomies for six years. “Patients are discharged from the hospital one day after surgery and need a catheter for just one week.” In comparison, open surgery normally involves a two- to four-day hospital stay and two to three weeks with a catheter. There are other options available to treat prostate cancer. Depending on the type of cancer and the patient’s overall health and preferences, other treatment, such as radiation, may be preferable. Beaufort Memorial also offers radiation therapy at its Keyserling Cancer Center. Beaufort Memorial was the first healthcare provider in the area to offer robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomies. It expanded the scope of minimally invasive surgeries performed with a robot last year after upgrading to the more advanced da Vinci Si Surgical System.

Prostate Health Seminar In recognition of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Beaufort Memorial Hospital will present “The Man Plan: Taking Control of Your Health,” a discussion on men’s health issues, at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Sun City’s Magnolia Hall. Following a reception at 4:30 p.m., BMH board-certified urologist Dr. Michael Staley will discuss the latest advancements in men’s health care and offer advice on PSA screenings, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and low testosterone. Staley also will be discussing the latest technology in the treatment of prostate cancer, including robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery. The men’s health program – part of Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s “Life Lived Better” seminar series – is free and open to the public. Spouses and partners are encouraged to attend, but registration is required. Call (888) 522-5585.

Holy Trinity school launches second year Holy Trinity Classical Christian School (HTCCS), located at 302 Burroughs Ave., launched its second year on August 21 with excitement and a large increase in its student body number. With an approximate 80% increase in students and the addition of a sixth grade class, the school is making good on its promises to have careful, steady growth by adding one grade level per year. HTCCS offers an educational philosophy shaped by the classical model of the Trivium. There are three phases: Grammar (K-5), Logic (6-8) and Rhetoric (grades 9-12). This centuries-old method applies the biblical concepts of knowledge, understanding and wisdom to the age-appropriate stages of a child’s development. The objective of the classical methodology is to equip students with the tools of learning and the wisdom to apply them to life situations. HTTCS aims to minister across denominational lines. Headmaster Reverend Chad Lawrence stated, “We had a 100% Grammar School re-enrollment rate at the end of our first year, aside from the few families who relocated out of the town or country. We are simply thrilled and believe whole heartedly in our school, its mission, the success of
“We are simply thrilled and believe whole heartedly in our school, its mission, the success of its curriculum and most importantly, our teachers.” Headmaster Reverend Chad Lawrence its curriculum and most importantly, our teachers. We look forward to the school’s impending growth and the impact it will undoubtedly make on our community.” HTCCS maintains its reputation for academic excellence, placing in the top 90th percentile among schools nationwide after participating in a series of year-end standardized testing. Committed to an intimate and distinct learning experience, HTCCS plans to maintain an ideal teacher/ student ratio, with maximum number of students per class capping at 14. The school’s plans are to offer an additional grade per year until it is able to offer a full pre-K through 12th grade education. Adding to its unique atmosphere is its belief in exposing students to the many riches of Western Civilization including great art, music, literature, scientific achievement,

and Latin. HTCCS is led by Lawrence and faculty of 20. Lawrence received his B.A. from Grove City College in Grove City, PA. After two years as a missionary, he entered the teaching profession in California earning a multiple subjects teaching credential through the California State University in Bakersfield. During his time as an educator, he was named Franklin School Teacher
of the Year and awarded the Kern County Excellence in Teaching Award. Discerning a call to the ordained ministry, in 2006 he and his family moved from Bakersfield, CA to Ambridge, PA, where he earned a Master in Divinity Degree from Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry. He was also awarded the Hebrew Exegesis Award, the Henning Award for Expository Biblical Preaching, and the Senior Leadership Prize.

T. Reynolds Robinson Scholarship awarded to student Cain Richards was named as the recipient of the 2013 T. Reynolds Robinson Scholarship. This scholarship has been awarded annually since 1989 – the year Reynolds died tragically at the young age of 13. Reynolds was a student at Beaufort Academy during his short, but full-of-adventure life. This scholarship is awarded by his family, in celebration and remembrance of Reynolds. Recipients must possess many of the qualities that people loved about Reynolds,
for example strong leadership and athletic ability and the respect and friendship of classmates, in addition to maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 during the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Awarded to a 10th grader, the scholarship offers $1,500 toward the student’s college education. The award was presented by Reynolds’ brother, Clark Robinson (BA ’87), and his parents, Betsey and Bill Robinson.
The toddler classes at EC Montessori School offer more than day care for these very young children. How do they do that? Very young children are like sponges, learning every waking moment and excited about it too. When they walk into the Montessori toddler classroom they are greeted by the teachers who help them put away their things and choose a learning activity from the shelves. They learn to roll out a small rug and settle themselves to do their work in their own work space. When they are satisfied with their practice, they carefully return their materials. This takes much practice and gentle direction,with much repetition. When everyone is present, the teacher calls them to the oval carpet where they join together for greetings, lessons in song and poem, demonstration of new work, stories etc. One by one they are directed to the work shelves. Everything during the morning is part of their learning
program, including preparing, serving, and cleaning their lunch plates. Parents are delighted that as part of the gentle interchange during the day, the children begin talking more and more completely, become aware of the others in the room and become more considerate and often are potty trained sooner. The exercises teaching sorting by color, size, shape, smell, sound etc as well as activities that develop small muscle coordination such as spooning, pouring, puzzle work, art activities etc. lead into the beginning of number and letter recognition and other skills that are part of the primary program for which they are preparing. The theme “an early start for a lifetime of learning” is very apt for a Montessori school. E.C. Montessori and Grade School is located at 15 Celadon Drive on Sam’s Point Road.

arts
Doyle
continued from page 1 Jean-Michel Basquiat traded some of his own art for a few Doyles. Noted modern master, Ed Ruscha, painted a posthumous tribute to Doyle. Both the Smithsonian and Atlanta’s High Museum have terrific examples that can be viewed online. Recently, Penn Center added several wonderful works to their collection. And this fall Doyle’s artworks will be included in exhibitions in Paris and Los Angeles. In his definitive essay, “Haints and Saints,” Gordon W. Bailey, who has the largest collection of Doyle’s artworks, wrote that Doyle, “Painted passionately, with bold strokes and vibrant colors, fashioning uniquely styled portraits and personal tributes with evangelical enthusiasm, blending ancestral Gullah lore and his devout Baptist faith into a rich multi-cultural impasto. Haints and saints rubbed rusty shoulders and shared the boughs of Spanish moss-laden oak trees with other celebrated figures, both famous and infamous.” An improperly-healed childhood foot injury kept him out of WWII and a failed marriage divided his family, indirectly connecting him with a large group of artists whose life paths were diverted by trauma— his admirer Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, Emily Dickinson and even Matisse, who turned to scissors and paper-cutting when he was losing his eyesight. Post retirement, Doyle had the freedom to paint what he wanted, when he wanted. By the mid-1970s, Doyle’s outdoor history lesson had evolved into the “St. Helena Out Door Art Gallery.” The artist filled his property with portraits of people important to his community while focusing on Gullah history and African American achievement. He created two series:“First” which included St. Helena’s First Black Midwife and First Mail Man; “Penn” which refers to his alma mater Penn School (now Penn Center) and included Penn Drummer and Penn Bull. Other notable portraits paid tribute to Ray Charles and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. He also painted island legends Dr. Buz (a root doctor) and Jack O Lanton (a haint). Doyle told NPR in 1983: “I think about it overnight. I’ll be in my bed and I just say I want to paint something concerning someone or, you know, and then it come into my mind. And I can get up the next morning and I can start painting that thing, you know. Whatever I dreamed at night. Just think about it, just dream about it. And just like people I’ve known a long time ago and stories that I have been told. I can go at it from the story and I paint a picture of the people in it. I know what it’s all about, you see.” Doyle’s forms were suggested in large part by the materials available— like the vintage refrigerator door he once chose for a painting— and he matched the size of his subject to his “canvas” which was usually a scrap piece of tin roofing. Despite the lack of background scenery in most of his paintings, he loaded plenty of context. When he painted, Bailey suggests, “Doyle summed up momentous events with poetic simplicity and had a
16
genius for distilling the essence of personality.” Doyle’s sophistication as an artist is, in part, his ability to capture body language. His sophistication as a human being was expressed bravely through the images he chose to paint. “He never shied away from hot button topics, and his sociopolitical pieces are some of his most stirring works.” Bailey wrote, “Doyle was completely immersed in his milieu and quite aware of the influences of popular culture. If you caught his keen eye by doing something well, often, or eccentrically, your likeness would soon stand in his yard.” Simply put: he painted history. If he hadn’t painted He/She, Mrs. Food Stamp, Try Me, they would not have been painted. I say thank goodness he declined prettiness and pettiness in favor of the brilliantly rendered summation of “Lincoln In Frogmore,” the bold strokes of “No More,” and the effervescent fun of “Mr. Fool.” The creolized Gullah language was Doyle’s first and often his painted words require some insight. I like Doyle’s creative spelling, which is another way of saying I admire the visuals of his illiteracy. For instance his tribute to “Ike” includes the words “Ge” and “Nule” and shows the artist was really thinking about the words he chose to use when emphasizing the action. The farmer, Ike, is shouting for his mules to “Gee!” or “Go Right!” The image would enhance a Colonial hope chest! Portraits and pastorals; Doyle’s works are very conventional that way. The scene has well-fed proportions, from the swell of the landscape to the robust pipe-smoking farmer, but only a small part of the field is included. This isn’t a portrait of toil but of accomplishment: a team for the plow, mature plants in the field, no clouds in the sky. Doyle was the perfect artist for this scene. Doyle’s Adlade is jaunty and bright-eyed, heading to work in the fields. She has the strength and dexterity
the island news | september 5-11, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com
to carry four objects and smoke a pipe! He reduced her dainty feet to Japanese pointiness in a second pass. I love the balance of his lines and fills and flicks. Net Maker is a another terrific example of Doyle’s pure talent. It is a painting of a man that some people likely overlooked. A quick glance reveals a man in a dark suit has fastened something to what might be a tree. Look closer and you see that the artist has included the warp and the weft of a shrimping net, that the craftsman is in motion— his thick white beard signaling his know-how— and that the artist has deftly divided the background between green ground and blue watery distance. And that tree is more beautiful every time I see it! Doyle’s athletes are big and brawny, full of movement and fill the frame. Some stars, we know by name like Beaufort-born “Smokin” Joe Frazier, Joe “Brown Bomber” Lewis and Jackie Robinson, others, like Savannah’s Larry “Gator” Rivers, who played for the Harlem Globetrotters, shine brighter in the Lowcountry. Doyle’s tight composition affords the viewer a front row seat to the action and elevates his subjects to lofty iconic status. Doyle could only display his paintings in his yard, but thirty years later his work is seen and collected around the world. Therein is an advisement to all artists— make art and put it where people can see it. Today artists by the thousands compete via an internet-minefield of Find Me. But every artist can be truthful and thoughtful too, even now. Looking at his paintings and learning about Doyle’s life makes me realize that avoiding the usual leaves time for the unusual. A friend teaches art at Beaufort High School. I recommended “Haints and Saints” for class study on developing art careers because the slow growth approach should still be valued. On Sunday, September 22, 2013, ARTworks in Beaufort hosts an exclusive opening reception for the Sam Doyle Celebration. Special guests will share stories concerning Doyle, Victoria Smalls, Penn’s Director of History and Culture, will present an informative talk, and everyone will enjoy a buffet at the “Wellcome Table,” inspired by the artist’s painting. As Bailey explains, “By overpainting “come” Doyle left little room for speculation, emphasizing with unambiguous clarity his hope that all races will one day join each other a “Well Table.” During the Sam Doyle Celebration, first at ARTworks, then at Penn Center, you will be able to behold his powerful works in person— in the same community where Doyle drew his inspiration. All paintings on display at ARTworks will be from private collections. The centerpiece image of the celebration is “Penn Drummer.” Painted on corrugated tin roofing with a reference to the year “1920.” The piece is a clear homage to Doyle’s days at Penn School. By celebrating his original art, we are keeping his beat going. Tickets are $25 and benefit ARTworks, the arts council of Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands: 843-3792787. The ARTworks exhibition runs through October 6; the gallery is free to browse Tuesdays through Saturdays. On October 10, Penn Center on St. Helena Island will share their collection on their historic campus. A show and sale of student art is part of ARTworks and Penn’s ongoing support of emerging student artists. For more about the Sam Doyle Celebration, visit artworksinbeaufort.org.

RYAN’S FAMOUS PIZZA
By Pamela Brownstein
It’s been more than a year since the Lunch Bunch has had the pleasure to dine at Ryan’s Famous Pizza and Subs. While a lot has changed at the restaurant, the delicious food remains the same. The once-tiny pizzeria updated its decor, expanded to include more seating and added a large, attractive bar area where patrons can get good food while catching a game. We ordered the 10 piece teriyaki wings as a starter, and Buck thought them mighty tasty. We also shared a meat calzone that is stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, bacon and extra cheese. Our large pizza was half pepperoni and mushrooms and half Hawaiian with pineapple, ham, pizza sauce and extra cheese. Between the four of us, we polished off the whole pie. I had to order my favorite, the epic Pizz-and-wich. The Roman has pepperoni, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onions wrapped in pizza dough. Then it is baked and served warm and a must-have for all sandwich lovers. Dessert included the cheesecake and triple layer chocolate cake, as well as the homemade fried ice cream.
Clockwise from above: The Roman Pizz-and-wich with pepperoni, ham and cheese; Teriyaki chicken wings; Large pizza that’s half pepperoni and mushrooms and half Hawaiian; A meat calzone; Desserts include homemade fried ice cream and a triple layer chocolate cake.

wine
And the Pinot Grigios keep on coming! By Celia Strong
It’s not usual, but for the third week in a row we’re going to talk about a Pinot Grigio wine. Two weeks ago, we had one from Washington State. Last week, we had one from Italy. And, now, this week we are going to have one from South Africa. And, as you know, before we get to our wine, we have to do our due diligence and learn as much as we can, first. With the assumption that the more we know the more we will enjoy this week’s wine. So, here we go. Back to South Africa. A while ago, and hopefully you remember, we did do several weeks of South African wines. So, hopefully, our review will be quick, and just add another layer of knowledge to our vast repertoire. Instead of being all new everything. None the less, let’s start with a review of the history of wine in South Africa. Their first wine was recorded in 1659, made by Jan van Riebeeck, the founder of Cape Town. In the beginning, and for the most part now, most of the wine made in this country was based around Cape Town with three major production areas at Paarl, Stellenbosch and Worcester. The wine laws, their Wine of Origin (WO) system was implemented in 1973, with sixty appellations. The politics of South Africa for a long time effected their wine industry. The KWV Co-op, that originated in 1918, grew so large that it was able to control policies and prices for the industry. To handle the glut of wine that was available at the beginning at the twentieth century, KWV restricted yields and set minimum prices on the grapes. Also, they encouraged the production of fortified wines and brandy (distilled wines). From outside the country, protests against South African products because of their Apartheid system made South African wines unavailable in most markets. Luckily, when Apartheid ended in the late 1980’s and 1990’s, (close to the same time that so many Americans became interested in wine), there was a resurgence in the industry. New ideas, in both the vineyards and the

wineries, helped. Winemakers, known as “flying winemakers” because they consult with many wineries, came to South Africa with all their knowledge and experience. More grape varieties (including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz) came with them as well. And, the KWV co-op, not to be left behind, re-organized itself into a private company and cleared the way for others to follow. The price fixing and yield controls were gone, and competitive table wine making became the norm. To give you a perspective, before 1930, less than thirty percent of the grapes grown in South Africa were made into table wines. By 2003, seventy percent of them were used for table wines. (Table wines instead of fortified and distilled wines.) Winemaking in South Africa is sort of a combination of Old and New World styles. Again, a growing and changing style as their winemakers find what works for their grapes and what sells the best for them in world markets. In the 1980’s, using oak barrels for fermentation and aging became popular. For a long time, their white wines were more numerous and considered better. Their reds were coarse and rustic, but now, they are softer, smoother, more voluptuous. (Pruning in the vineyards, cold temperature fermentation, some malo-lactic fermentation and less filtration all helped here.) But, enough serious learning. Let’s get on to our winery. La Capra. This brand is a division of the larger Fairview. Fairview is an old farm on the southwestern slopes of Paarl Mountain, their first wine dating back to 1699. Over their history, they had many ups and downs, legal and financial issues, assorted owners. The Back family bought the property in 1937, though,
“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”
and since then Fairview has maintained a positive direction. Through several generations of the Back family, Fairview has risen to become one of South Africa’s most successful, enduring and innovative wineries. The first bottle of Fairview wine from the Backs’ farm came out in 1974. As they, their farm and their wines developed, so did their logo. Since the very beginning, goats have been a part of the farm, and they have always been part of the logo and bottle label. The original goat tower on the property had to be replaced, but the new one is still a major attraction to visitors. (At their annual festival, goats and children play at the tower.). The name “la capra” means “goat” in Latin, so the name on our bottle is just a connection to its history at Fairview. The label itself is a goat with a tower of stuff on its back. But this tower, from bottom to top, references all that’s important at La Capra. Wine barrels are obvious, the globe is a connection to the worldly style of La Capra wines, the violin refers to the music at their annual La Capra Festival, the dancing man is actually a vineyard worker, the
fork and cheese stand for the local foods and cheeses you can enjoy at the festival, (yes, goat cheeses), and the dancers on top are because it is a music festival. Now, every time we look at this label we can smile, because we know what it all means! Like so many twentieth and twenty-first century wineries, in California, Oregon, France, Italy, Spain, everywhere really, La Capra supports what they consider to be the whole lifestyle of wine. Lucky them. I would have a festival too if I could live at a winery. Life would be my festival. But, moving on. It’s wine time. The La Capra Pinot Grigio. Yes, like I said, another Pinot Grigio. But this one is totally different from our last two. Because, and we all know this, of the soil and climate it comes from. These grapes come from Darling, an area that is about an hour from Cape Town. Darling actually has its own wine route that brings in hundreds of tourists, and wine tasters. This area is close to the Atlantic Ocean and benefits from its cooling effects. The soil for this Pinot Grigio’s grapes is deep shale. The grapes are hand harvested, then crushed and the skins are separated off the must. After settling for forty-eight hours, the clear juice is cold fermented in stainless steel tanks for fourteen days. A long time that ends up in very flavorful wine. The wine is aged on its lees for three months (more flavors for us), then it is stabilized and bottled. In our glass, it has a light green tint and shows tropical fruit, musk and floral aromas. The flavors follow and the textures are crisp and clean and really refreshing on the finish. Pretty much what we like in a Pinot Grigio. And the really good special part? Another Pinot Grigio at a good price. La Capra wines are usually about twelve dollars. And we do have other of their wines, at that price. But, the Pinot Grigio is special. Meaning a special price. A deal to help their new distributor introduce the brand to us. So, while it lasts, we get it for $8.97. And we win again. A new wine. A good wine. A cute label that makes us smile. Aren’t we special too? Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Wandering the allergy maze: Part Two By Tracie Korol
When walking the metaphoric allergy maze each turn offers a different diagnostic challenge, a new selection of medications or methods and, ultimately, a choice that must be made. Each choice can lead the way out (the cure) or down false pathway. The only way we will know is to try and see where the pathway leads. As accustomed as we are to The Quick Fix, a prolonged, investigative approach may present as frustrating and time-consuming. A quick fix is exactly that: it is not curing the dis-ease and it is not helping your Best Friend. Every maze is different. Each dog and each dog’s living arrangements are different so what may work for your neighbor’s itchy dog, may not work for yours. Rooting out the causes of your pet’s chronic discomfort requires you play detective, looking for clues and asking questions. Keeping a dog diary for a month can help. (“Oct 10—cleaned carpets. Oct 13—Buster chewing his feet.”) Pathways may defy logic. When walking a labyrinth, you may have to turn left to ultimately go to the right. It is the same when trying to find help for your dog’s problem. You may have to try myriad methods and medicines that don’t make sense at the moment to get on the pathway to ultimate healing. For instance, I have seen localized skin lesions respond favorably and rapidly to chiropractic. Buster jumped off the couch onto the wood floor and lost

Each dog and each dog’s living arrangements are different so what may work for your neighbor’s itchy dog, may not work for yours. his footing, pushing a vertebra out of alignment. The irritation to the associated nerve ending sends a buzzy sensation to Buster’s shoulder. It feels itchy to him and so he scratches and bites, creating a hairless, damp, soonto-be-infected wound. Not an allergy at all! Don’t go in circles. While you may occasionally need to retrace some of your steps in your therapeutic labyrinth, don’t continue to go round and round, especially if the results are the same. (I believe Einstein had something cryptic to say about this kind of behavior.) If your dog is on the third course of the same antibiotic and the third course of prednisone with no positive, long-lasting results, then perhaps it is time to take a different pathway in the maze. Try a homeopathic course or acupuncture to calm your dog’s overactive chi. Consider a nutritional causality--has

Barney been eating the same orange-bag kibble for the last eight years? Consider environmental causalities—does Buster hang out in the garage when Grandma goes out for a smoke? Does Buster’s blanket smell springtime fresh because it is tumble-dried with a dryer sheet? Don’t panic. As you negotiate a therapeutic pathway, it may seem to be taking you deeper and deeper into the maze, but it may also be leading you to the way out. It may seem to be taking too long, it may seem that there’s no escape. Corn mazes—endless curving,
turning pathways cut into full-grown corn fields that people pay to navigate for fun—feature Panic Flags on poles that can be seen above the top of the corn. At the panic flag zone you have a chance to re-group, maybe have a snack, talk to others about their experiences and then choose your course with a clear head. Same with a therapeutic trail. Look for and listen to subtle clues. Your dog is your best communicator. If you’ve changed his food (again) and he won’t eat, listen to him. It’s not that he doesn’t “like” it (it’s a dog, they “like” most things), more credibly it’s that he knows it’s going to make him feel worse and he’s trying to tell you the only way he knows how. If your dog with the chronic green eye goobers sneezes when you spray on your favorite cologne, pay attention. We need to approach allergies with an understanding that whatever treatment protocol we choose is going to require time, effort and discipline. We may never be able to come up with a positive outcome using a linear-logical approach. The way out may only be on a wandering, exploratory path.
