a thank you for their service and sacrifices.

The Chamber, along with Atlantic Marine Corps Communities at Tri-Command, in partnership with Pepsi, Tanger Outlets and University of Phoenix, were proud to host this year’s event. Many local businesses and

organizations also helped make this such a special event by donating food, drinks, prizes, as well as their time and manpower. The event was full of entertainment for our military families including music, jump castles, face painting, games, prizes, food, and fun.

United Way changes approach to community allocations Based on community input gathered over the past three years, the United Way of the Lowcountry is consolidating its efforts around the two critical program areas of education and basic needs, while still funding the most effective programs in health and financial stability, by employing a new Community Impact Plan.

For well over 50 years, the United Way of the Lowcountry’s approach has been to invest in programs and agencies that work directly with individuals and families. Research shows that while investment in program interventions does create positive change in the lives of those target individuals, it does not sufficiently tackle the root causes of complex social problems.

Beginning in April 2017, a majority of United Way funding will be directed at programs, initiatives and collaborations that can create greater measureable impact in the two priority areas of education and basic needs.

“We believe that by implementing a new model of funding, we can focus on common outcomes and better address the root causes of the educational and

basic needs challenges in our community,” said United Way of the Lowcountry President and CEO Tina Gentry. “This Community Impact Plan, which many other United Way organizations across the country have now employed, moves the United Way into the unique role of being an active participant in making change happen.”

In early 2012, as the United Way Board of Directors began its strategic planning process, United Way staff began the research, learning and development that frame this new Community Impact Plan. Volunteers from the Community Investment Committee also contributed countless hours of work dedicated to studying this model in other United Way organizations and understanding how it would affect current United Way agencies and the community at-large.

In 2017, as part of the new process, all agencies and associated programs applying for funding will start with a zero-allotment and funding for programs will be based on alignment with the goals outlined in the Community Impact Plan. Historic funding levels will not be

considered and a new, uniform process for identifying and explaining program outcomes will become central to the application and funding process.

From the 2017-2018 funding cycle, some agencies may receive an increase in their funding, while others will have a chance to enhance their programs and better focus on desired common outcomes. Since full implementation of the new model will not begin until 2017, the interim two-year time period allows agencies to fully prepare for the new process as United Way of the Lowcountry will begin announcing program funding levels at the end of a successful fundraising campaign in 2020.

Full implementation of the Community Impact Model is expected to improve thousands of lives in the Lowcountry by creating lasting, measurable change.

A key component of the Community Impact Plan is the use of data to measure the progress of participants and applicants and their collective impact on the community. Partner agencies will remain at current funding levels for two years before any changes take effect.

“This is an opportunity for our partner agencies to be rewarded for the outcomes of the good work they do,” said United Way Board Chairman Mark O’Neil. “By not instituting this process until 2017, we are working to minimize the impact on our agencies and their budgeting while maximizing the positive future impact for our community.”

The United Way of the Lowcountry currently funds 48 programs run by 34 partner agencies, in addition to its own initiatives such as the Helpline and the Early Grade Reading Program, both of which were started with the aim of addressing needs not currently met by other agencies or programs.

“More effectively tackling complex social problems at the system and community level demands new approaches that are more collaborative and work across multiple sectors,” said Gentry. “We owe it to our donors and supporters to be responsible with their investment, and this new model will make systemic change possible for the community under United Way’s leadership.”

SUMMER MUSIC IN PORT ROYAL

By Bob Sofaly

The Alvin Youngblood Hart Band from Memphis, TN, had the best luck as the recent stormy weather left just long enough for organizers to have the second installment of the popular summer series of Street Music on Paris Avenue to take place as scheduled. Hart’s brand of southern rock, rhythm and blues “and whatever else we can get away with” didn’t let anybody down.

Smart911 also allows for commercial properties to create a profile for their building or campus at www. smart911facility.com. Anytime a call is made to 9-1-1 from that location, dispatchers will have details such as points of contact, access points and floor plans to immediately provide to response teams.

Mayor Billy Keyersling remarked, “I believe the enhanced smart911 concept and program are a wonderful addition

to better serving the county’s public safety needs. We should all be grateful to Sheriff Tanner, the county emergency dispatch team and the many public safety officers and staff who serve the people of Beaufort County.”

Smart911 has been implemented by public safety agencies in 40 states and over 1,500 municipalities. It has been credited with positively impacting emergency situations and saving lives across the U.S.

Children’s Room receives facelift Through a generous donation from the Friends of the Beaufort Library, the Children’s Programming Room at the Beaufort Branch Library has received all new carpeting and paint. The room’s floors and walls, well-worn after decades of children’s events, is now bright, new and ready for the Library’s full schedule of fall programming. The room’s kitchenette also received new floor covering, as did the foyer leading into the room.

“The Friends of the Beaufort Library, through their Scott Street Renovation Fund, are delighted that the children will have a cleaner, brighter, and more inviting room for their activities and hope to continue raising money to fund additional renovations, which are 4

sorely needed,” Friends of the Beaufort Library’s President Marilyn Harcharik states. “The Fund was initially seeded by the members of the Clover Club - a local literary group that has been instrumental throughout the library’s history.

They started the first circulating library in 1902, staffed by their own members, and then spearheaded the 1911 fund raising drive to build the initial library in downtown Beaufort. The Friends sincerely thank all donors for their support in making this significant improvement.”

The project was completed in a little over a week. Children’s storytimes resumed in the programming room with just over 25 families attending as soon as the last coat of paint dried.

Imagination or knowledge: which is more important?

By Shafiya Eve

Everyone has a great imagination. It is most easily identified by our ability to worry, project negative outcomes about the future and reminiscing about the past. Ever had a conversation in your mind? With every thought you think with images of the past and projections of the future, you’ve been honing and fine tuning your imagination. Now you have the opportunity to turn this gift into a powerful positive tool in creating your life. “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve” W. Clement Stone.

Try this: Using your imagination, see yourself at the refrigerator opening the door. On the shelf is a glistening lemon.

Imagine yourself reaching in and picking up the lemon. Feel its rich texture, the smooth and rough waxy surface, the coolness in your hand. Feel the moisture

that begins to collect on it, bring it to your nose and smell it. Now place the lemon on the counter and cut it in half.

See the juices squirt out and cut it into quarters. Bring a piece up to your nose and take a good deep smell, now take a big bite. Did your mouth water? Mine did as I was writing this.

What is important to recognize is your imagination profoundly affects your physiology. If you doubt your ability to use your imagination, doubt the doubt. Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge”. When

it comes to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being, this has potent implications. The mind cannot distinguish the difference between an imagined experience and a real one. Your body responds to what you imagine as if it is really happening.

The imagination used with intent is called many things such as guided imagery, visualization, mental rehearsal, fantasy, even meditation. A great example of this is its use by athletes. In the book Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson, B.J. Armstrong says “I’ll be able to react

High-speed Internet access brings many benefits to rural communities, including economic development and better access to education and healthcare services such as distance learning and telemedicine.

“We’re pleased to help bridge the urban-rural digital divide by bringing

high-speed broadband to more than 8,000 households and businesses in high-cost markets in South Carolina,” said Kevin McCarter, CenturyLink east region president. “While CAF II funding does not address all markets in our footprint, our company investment for CAF II is significant, and we look forward to working closely with South Carolina policymakers to find funding and deployment solutions for additional markets.”

Once CenturyLink’s initial CAF II six-year build-out plan is finalized over the coming months, construction is expected to begin in early 2016.

to it without thinking, because I’ll already have seen it in my mind.”

There are so many ways we can use this innate God-given ability in our personal lives. Recently I was dealing with the prospect of an uncomfortable confrontation with someone on the phone. I used my imagination to see myself comfortable and at peace during the conversation. As it turned out, everything went just fine. Often I work with clients who are experiencing angst about an uncomfortable upcoming event a prime example might be a family gathering with anticipated sibling struggles. We walk through these projected fears, and use the imagination to project a different outcome. The results have been positive and rewarding.

“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge” Albert Einstein.

September is Healthy Aging Month!

By Dr. Mark S. Siegel

There are over 76 million baby boomers today over the age of 50 and the first of the 82.1 million Generation X-ers are turning 50 in 2015. Aging is a process that brings many changes and baby boomers, as well as gen x-ers, share an interest in staying active, vibrant, and independent as long as possible.

Traveling, biking, boating, kayaking, hiking, learning new skills and many other exciting activities become very difficult without healthy vision. Taking steps to maintain healthy vision as we age is one of the most critical things we can do to ensure our activity options remain virtually limitless. Follow these tips for healthy vision all year and enjoy healthy aging for the years to come: #1. Get a Comprehensive Dilated Eye Exam in September Starting at the age of 40, getting an annual dilated eye exam with an ophthalmologist is the most important step you can take – even if you have no vision problems. So take the month of September to celebrate healthy aging by calling your ophthalmologist for a comprehensive dilated eye exam. A comprehensive eye exam isn’t the same 6

as your basic eye exam for glasses or contacts. During a comprehensive dilated eye exam your eye doctor will check for signs of cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, along with other eye conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment helps to prevent vision loss and is instrumental in enjoying life into the ages. #2. Protect Your Eyes with Sunglasses and a Hat We know what the sun’s UV (ultraviolet) rays do to our skin, but we often forget they also have a damaging effect on our eyes – causing cataracts and contributing to the acceleration of macular degeneration. Although sunglasses with UV protection help to protect our eyes, wearing a widebrimmed hat while enjoying outdoor activities will provide the extra protection

the island news | september 3-9, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

to keep your eyes aging healthy and supporting your active lifestyle. And don’t forget – UV rays occur throughout the year so don’t put away the shades when the temperatures drop. #3. Reduce Eye Strain with Breaks and More Sleep Although eye strain isn’t a vision disease or disorder, it can cause headaches, fatigue and occasionally itchy eyes – which contributes to rubbing. Eye rubbing exacerbates dry eye syndrome and ocular irritation. In order to reduce eye strain, take breaks from reading, driving, and looking at screens by focusing your eyes on something else every 20 minutes for about 20 seconds. Another step we can take to reduce eye strain is to get enough sleep. Being overtired increases eye strain while a healthy evening dose of sleep can keep our eyes ready for another active day. #4. Stop Smoking Studies show that smoking increases the risk of developing vision problems including macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and dry eyes. Taking the month of September to get help in kicking the habit could be one of the most important things you could ever do to ensure healthy aging for your

body and your vision. #5. Take Advantage of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Choosing a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help keep your eyes healthy and disease free. Studies suggest that the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin may help lower the risk of eye conditions, such as cataracts and macular degeneration that can accompany aging.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in fruits and vegetables with yellow and orange pigments, such as corn, squash, carrots, and citrus fruits. They are also found in dark green leafy vegetables, like kale, collard greens and spinach.

This September (and into the fall) take advantage of harvest time and visit one of the many farmers’ markets in the area to purchase some fresh fruits and vegetables. #6. Enjoy Exercise to Maintain a Healthy Weight Many eye diseases are linked to high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. Exercise can help keep these problems at bay or limit their impact if they do occur. Recent studies have shown that people who exercise regularly were less likely to develop serious eye disease.

people...”

BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA UNITED WAY OF THE LOWCOUNTRY

Philanthropist Peter Post is positively perfect for Beaufort Peter Post has received a YMCA paycheck ever since he started working at the local summer camp at age 18.

Dedicating his life to working with – and for – people, Peter’s career has taken him across the country as he transitioned from national nonprofit executive to active, engaged philanthropist.

A native New Englander, Peter first became involved with the YMCA the summer before his freshman year of college. He applied to work as a counselor at the local YMCA summer camp, even though the newspaper ad said the camp was only looking for current college students. Peter ultimately got the counselor position. “I loved working with kids,” he recalled, explaining the success of his first foray into the YMCA world. “That’s how it got started, and then they kept asking me to come back every summer.”

Peter took his first job at the Bridgeport YMCA after graduating

S e rv i n g

the

from Springfield College. At summer camp, “They kept telling me I’d make a good YMCA Director – and then I did that!” he shared. In Bridgeport, Peter realized his aptitude for one skill every nonprofit executive must have: fundraising. One of his first assignments was to call on various prospective donors. He had one day to run with this assignment, despite the fact that all of the prospects had a predicted gift of $0.

Peter surprised everyone when he came back that day with $164. This 23-year-old YMCA rookie was on his way up.

After Bridgeport, Peter headed to Boston, where he spent 28 years on staff, ending his tenure there as President of the Boston YMCA after having overseen a merger with the Woburn YMCA. However, that wasn’t even Peter’s peak: his last position was serving as CEO for YMCA of the USA, the national office based in Chicago.

L o w c o u n t ry

“I loved the opportunity to work with people,” Peter said of his career with the YMCA. “I thought some of the nicest people I’d ever met worked at the YMCA, and I wanted to emulate them – they were just terrific people, and had an interest in serving kids in the community.”

However, in 1997, it was finally time for a well-deserved retirement. Peter and his wife had visited Dataw Island years before, but after searching across the South for the perfect home, they decided Beaufort was the place to be.

Peter in particular was attracted by the level of community involvement he saw in his future neighbors. And of course, there was a local YMCA Peter saw he could get involved in.

Nearing 18 years in Beaufort, Peter has become a fixture of the local philanthropic community. He served on the board of the YMCA for 12 years, eventually acting as their Chairman.

Peter also worked with Penn Center’s

Since

1998

board and helped them to launch the 1862 Circle, which honors leaders who advocate for the history and culture of the Sea Islands – past winners include Mary Mack and Jonathan Green. Currently, Peter is most involved with United Way of the Lowcountry, which serves Beaufort and Jasper Counties. There he focuses on bringing back fundraising after the financial crisis of 2008. “To be a part of turning that around has been a high point,” Peter explained.

At the end of the day, every day since he was 18, Peter Post has made a different in the lives of others through his work.

Here in Beaufort, he continues that through meaningful volunteer service with a variety of different nonprofits.

For Peter, “[volunteering] was an outlet for me to help support not-for-profits and keep my mind active while raising money for good causes.” We thank Peter for his service – Beaufort is a better place because of it.

A monthly event for local women to meet and have fun, sponsored by The Island News

Beaufort ladies shop ‘til they drop at It’s Retail Therapy Island Girls Night Out, The Island News’ second IGNO this month, was another blow-out success. More than 80 ladies browsed the aisles at It’s Retail Therapy in downtown Beaufort last Thursday night and somehow managed to deal with the rain, shop, and enjoy the comradery of friends without skipping a beat. Breakwater provided a table full of delicious, healthy hors d’oeuvres like skewers of prosciutto and cantaloupe which paired so nicely with all the wines that were offered and a smashing “doctored” punch.

Here in the Lowcountry, fall is for planting!

By Susan Stone You can tell by the color of the marsh that September is here! Oh, the beautiful lime green set against the cobalt sky… when you see this combination, fall is just around the corner.

Here in the Lowcountry, fall is for planting! Trees, shrubs, spring perennials and don’t forget the winter food crop!

With ample rain fall typical this month, it’s a great time to plant. We still have a few months left in the growing season.

Soil preparation is always tops on my list of seasonal chores. It is my first consideration when planting either flowers or food. Here on the coast, 12

our soil is primarily sand. It is difficult to keep nutrients from leeching away.

Gardeners with poorly drained soil (clay) or very sandy soil can easily improve their yield with raised beds. Any rot resistant material will work as a frame. There are many D.I.Y. websites available to help

the island news | september 3-9, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

inspire you. Once you have your frame, select good quality topsoil and compost for your fill. Raised beds can be any size.

To save your back, and prevent the need to muddy your shoes, limit the width to 3-4 feet so you can reach across without getting your shoes dirty or straining your back. If you are new to food crops or have a small family, you may want to consider a container garden on your patio. As long as your pots are well drained, you can grow just about anything right on your deck!

Make sure you consult a companion planting guide before you make your final selections. For instance planting

beets next to pole beans will stunt their growth. Cabbage and grapes are not good neighbors, but broccoli helps lettuce.

There are insects that one attracts which helps the other. For other veggies, it is simply bad chemistry.

This is the last month you will fertilize and prune your roses. From now until February, you allow the rosehips to form, so the roses can finish their cycle.

One last tip; spring bulbs are beginning to show up in the garden centers. Choose high quality bulbs and check to make sure they will grow in the Lowcountry.

Just because they sell them, doesn’t mean they like it here. Happy Planting!

high school football round-up

Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Beaufort High suffers tough loss in season opener After a 40 minute rain delay, Beaufort High struggled both offensively and defensively in its season-opener, eventually falling to visiting Colleton County last Friday night. Colleton County pulled away to defeat Beaufort High 42-6 on a disappointing night. The loss forced Beaufort High to start its season 0-1. Tough Cougar defense and three Beaufort turnovers spelled disaster for

the Eagles who fell to 0-1 in non-conference games.

With the win, Colleton County improved to 2-0. In its season-opener one week earlier, Colleton County dominated defensively and held Cane Bay to 61 yards of total offense for the entire game. The BHS Eagles are scheduled to host Bluffton on Friday, Sept. 4th. Kickoff for the Beaufort High-Bluffton football game is set for

7:30 p.m. at Eagle Stadium. Both Colleton County and Bluffton are Class 4A opponents for the Eagles.

In addition to Bluffton, Beaufort High’s remaining regular-season schedule will feature games versus Whale Branch, Battery Creek, Manning, Berkeley, Fort Dorchester, Stall, Hilton Head, Hanahan and Orangeburg-Wilkinson.

Battery Creek High School falls to Estill The Battery Creek football team fell short in a bid to get into the win column in its second outing in the 2015 season. Host Estill doubled up Battery Creek 14-7 in the early-season matchup. With the win, Estill evened its record to 1-1. Battery Creek dropped to 0-2 with the loss. Estill landed in the win column after forfeiting

its season-opener to Porter-Gaud. Battery Creek’s only touchdown came on a keeper from quarterback Darius Brown. Long runs from Tyrone Dilbert and Alterell Chatman set up the Dolphins’ lone score.

Battery Creek, a team under the direction of head coach Jim Shuman, had its chances to claim the win as

each squad vied for the victory. The Dolphins, however, committed multiple turnovers including a costly fumble on the opening drive when Estill recovered.

Opportunistic Estill scored each of its touchdowns off Battery Creek turnovers. Battery Creek is scheduled to visit Hilton Head Island for its next game on Sept. 11.

Beaufort Academy levels King Academy

Whale Branch falls to Hilton Head Island

The Beaufort Academy football team earned its first win in the 2015 season on Friday night. In its latest outing, Beaufort Academy pulled away to defeat visiting King Academy 47-6 in a high school football matchup that proved to be lopsided in the end. With the win, Beaufort Academy evened its record to 1-1. King Academy dropped to 0-2 with the loss. The Eagles, under the direction of head coach Scott Richards, moved ahead early and never faltered in the highly-anticipated prep gridiron contest.

A pair of Beaufort Academy running backs rushed for over 100 yards and two touchdowns apiece.

Pacing Beaufort Academy offensively, Jackson Spratling rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles.

The Whale Branch Warriors couldn’t keep up with the Hilton Head Island Seahawks in a high school football season-opener for the host team on Thursday night. Hilton Head Island prevented Whale Branch from winning in its 2015 regular-season debut, pulling away to defeat the Warriors 49-7.

Whale Branch dropped its seasonopener to start the season 0-1. With the win, Hilton Head Island moved to 2-0.

Hilton Head Island quarterback Aidan Hegarty threw for four touchdowns and ran for another in the Seahawks’ convincing victory. Hegarty completed 8 of 11 passes for 118 yards and four touchdowns in Hilton Head Island’s win. The Hilton Head Island quarterback rushed five times for 29 yards and one touchdown. The accurate Hegarty completed a pair of scoring

Setting the tone early, Beaufort Academy quarterback Alec Melville hooked up with receiver Kevin Williams on a 36-yard touchdown pass to put the Eagles on the scoreboard.

Defensively, Williams and Thomas Roddy led Beaufort Academy with nine tackles apiece. Another talented Beaufort Academy defensive player, Mac Griffith, posted a pair of interceptions.

Beaufort Academy worked its way into the win column after dropping a season-opener to Andrew Jackson Academy on Friday, Aug 21. The Eagles will visit Faith Christian for their next game on Friday, Sept. 4. Kickoff for the Beaufort Academy-Faith Christian football game is set for 7:30 p.m. in Summerville.

Whale Branch led briefly. Stephon Eugene scored on a nine-yard run for the Warriors with 9:55 remaining in the first quarter. Following a Christian Lopez PAT kick, Whale Branch led 7-0. Hilton Head Island, however, answered. After scoring to tie the game 7-7, Hilton Head Island added two more touchdowns in the second quarter to lead 21-7 at halftime. Extending its lead after intermission, Hilton Head Island blanked Whale Branch 21-0 in the third quarter. Leading the Whale Branch offensive effort, Eugene rushed eight times for 40 yards. Following Eugene in the Whale Branch rushing column, D.J. Davis added 27 yards via 11 carries. Whale Branch is scheduled to visit St. John’s on Sept. 4th.

The helix has landed...in the world of wine!

By Celia Strong Just when we’re getting used to screw tops on our bottles of wine. Or most of us are and the rest of us are sort of just going along with the whole idea. Here comes another new style of opening! Thing is, this new one may be the best yet! And, our wines (yes, two) are the first ones we’ve seen with this creative, new, easy opening. It’s called a “helix.”

The “helix” is the brain child of Portuguese cork manufacturer Amorim and Owens-Illinois Glass Company, maker of many, many wine bottles.

Basically, a helix is a twisting cork.

Actually, the helix “system” is combination of a special bottle and a special cork.

For the bottles, there are short, angled threads of glass on the inside of the bottle neck. Four of these threads, spaced evenly around the neck and angled at about 45 degrees. If you’re not looking for them, they are easily missed. But, now that you are looking for them, they seem pretty obvious. The helix cork is like a cork stopper. There is a top that stays out at the top of the bottle. And, acts as a handle for you to grab. The rest rotates, easily twists, out and back into the bottle. The cork has corresponding indents to move it along the threads of the glass. Easy one-handed out and extremely easy onehanded back in. (I have tried one of the corks in many other bottles and they do not work. Shoot!)

Helix does form an airtight closure.

Once a helix is inserted into an appropriate bottle of wine, a cellophane wrapper is used to keep it clean until the consumer is ready to open it. (No, the helix will not come out on its own.

They cannot twist or turn themselves.

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

Non-strenuous human intervention is required. Unopened bottles can be stored until you’re ready to drink them.

Tests done at Amorim and OwensIllinois both show no negative changes in wines held for two years - in upright or horizontal bottles. The wines’ tastes and aromas and colors were all maintained for the 24 months.

Bottom line is the helix is a great new “best of both worlds” wine bottle closure.

We keep the traditional cork image, we get the “pop” sound as it comes out of a bottle (no “pop” sound with a screwcap), it is easier to use than a normal cork, and more fun, it is convenient, like screwcaps, for travel, boats and more when carrying a corkscrew is a nuisance, and way more fun to use, and it works like a normal cork, but it’s more fun.

So, helix it is. Now for our wines for this week. These are both wines from the same producer in Italy. Both are really good. Truth be known, we ordered them after we tasted them because we really did like them. It wasn’t until we got the first order in that we decided to pay attention to their corks. Which we now know are helixes. (Hope I spelled that right.)

These wines are collaboration between Piergiorgio Castellani, a winemaker in Tuscany, and Chris Del Moro, a world renowned surfer and his film crew friend,

These wines are collaboration between Piergiorgio Castellani, a winemaker in Tuscany, and Chris Del Moro, a world renowned surfer and his film crew friend, Jason Baffa.

Jason Baffa. Jason and Chris went to Italy to discover their Italian roots and to prove that there is good surfing in the Mediterranean Ocean. This journey led them to loving the lifestyle in Italy and getting them into the wine business.

Their wines’ name is Ziobaffa. “Uncle Baffa” as Jason became known.

The Ziobaffa Pinot Grigio is made with organically grown grapes. After gentle pressing, the must is clarified and fermentation is done in stainless steel vats, over 15 days, at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. After fermentation, the wine is stored at 63 degrees until it is bottled and sealed with a reusable Helix cork.

The wine has aromas of apples and pears, citrus notes and floral touches. It is light and crisp and refreshing. An excellent new Pinot Grigio. This Pinot Grigio goes with lighter meals - fish, shellfish, poultry, pastas, cream sauces, soft cheeses, and sitting on the porch. For $12.99.

The Ziobaffa Red is made from estate

grown grapes at the Castellani estate in Tuscany. They are handpicked, sorted and crushed. Fermentation is done at a low temperature, to enhance the fruit flavors, for 15 to 20 days, and no oak is used. The wine is a deep garnet color, and it has an intense bouquet of red fruits and violets. It is warm, medium bodied with firm but soft tannins and hints of licorice and spice on its finish. We’re not sure what the exact blend of grapes is in this wine, but from the flavors and textures we’re thinking Sangiovese and Merlot.

At least. And, also with the Helix cork.

Traditional red sauces go well with this wine, pork, grilled meats, stews, pizza.

Anything with Italian flavors. For $12.99.

Yes, the Helix has landed. In Ziobaffa our first two wines with this new closure.

Both excellent. But, more importantly, both are fun to open. And how much more can we ask from a bottle of wine? Enjoy!

Watermelon buses; a Lowcountry anomaly Now what?

By Lee Scott

It is that time of year again. The kids go back to school and the yellow buses are everywhere. You have to know the school calendar in order to determine when you can avoid getting stuck behind a school bus. But wait; there are some school buses that you don’t have to worry about during the school year at all. They are called Watermelon buses. For newcomers to the area, this is one of those double takes. Your first impression is: yes, that is a school bus.

Your second impression is: something is very wrong with that school bus.

My friend Babs said that this was one of her first surprises when she moved to this area. Those buses are carrying watermelons. As it turns out, they carry other fruits and vegetables too, but are

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.

primarily known for their watermelons, hence the term “Watermelon buses”.

Talk about recycling! School buses used for the transportation of school children have an average life expectancy of seven to ten years. (I know this because I used to finance school buses for my clients.) Part of the reason is because there are so many regulatory requirements for school buses. Most

of the rules are related to the safety features required for transporting children. The school bus owners have to sell the old buses and buy new ones to comply with the changing rules. So who buys old school buses? Some are purchased by churches to transport parishioners. Some are purchased by farmers or companies that have to transport large amounts of produce. It

is interesting to see these buses filled with watermelons. According to one website, the buses can hold up to 1,000 watermelons per bus. That is a lot of produce getting hauled.

Many of the Watermelon bus owners will cut the top of the school bus completely off. In some cases, they just take out the windows and keep the roof intact. I love to see the ones that have original graphics on the side or are painted a lime green. But most of them look like the traditional yellow school bus minus all the school children inside.

So if you are driving along a local highway and you notice a unique looking school bus that stops without its flashing lights. Look closely. You may find yourself looking at your next watermelon.

African Fashion Week flourishes in the Lowcountry

By Finesse’

Africa Fashion Week, which was the brainchild of Adiat Disu, began in New York, and has become the premiere international event celebrated across the globe showcasing African designers, African inspired designers, clothing, and textiles which connect the undeniable influence of African culture on the world’s runway!

Africa Fashion Week of the Lowcountry (AFWLC) used its’ New York counterpart as inspiration and was presented by Stylistic Cafe & the Ngome Collective, a clothing line and contemporary Africana Vintage Boutique located at ARTworks.

Donellia Chives, Mahoganee Amiger and Cynthia Stewart are the driving forces behind African Fashion Week in the Lowcountry. Without question it is these three who had the vision and drive to make these multiple events such a success. All three creative entrepreneurs took their running start with ARTworks in Beaufort.

Starting with the Ngome Collective Boutique housed at ARTworks, is Mahoganee a music artist known for her soulful sounds. Cynthia and Donellia are mothers with stylistic ambitions. They huddled and used their wits to create the organizational backbone for a week of daily community events taking place each evening.

During African Fashion Week attendees didn’t just see fashionable clothing and beautiful models walking the runway. Depending on the event, they heard health and beauty tips, found a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy live music in and much more to stimulate their sense of fashion, art and Gullah heritage.

The weeklong event began with a Royal Tea at ARTworks. The gallery was packed with people who were vibrant and exciting. Select artists, including Jan Spencer, and Amiri Farris were in attendance at this and other various events during the week.

The skillful Amiri Farris demonstrated his brilliant mind as he showed the audience how he creates his art at the SALT Gallery on Tuesday night. Hank Herring, owner of SALT, provided a beautiful backdrop to enjoy a large collection of artwork in the midst of beautiful, creative art-appreciating people.

Wednesday, Nina Simone performed with Mahoganee and Jan Spencer adding their vocals to the mix and all three sang their hearts out in Frissell Hall. This was followed on Thursday by a panel of

the island news | september 3-9, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

knowledgeable and fashionable women teaching the need for early detection of breast cancer, what makes for a healthy diet, and recommending new and interesting hair and personal care products.

The highlight of the week for many was the runway show on Friday night featuring Charleston model Alison Salters. This Penn Center fundraiser was a fabulous climax to a great week. And it all ended with a youth event at ARTworks, where young children modeled clothing by CATO. It was clear that right here, at the SALT Gallery, ARTworks, and the Penn Center, African Fashion Week of the Lowcountry enhanced both old and young alike in their love of fashion, textiles, art, music and all things Gullah!

Thank you everyone. It was a great week!

Do you think your dog can be a therapy or service dog?

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

I am fortunate enough to have met many wonderful therapy and service dogs in my travels and they tell me how their work is so rewarding for them as well as for their owners. But if this interests you, where do you start? My advice to potential therapy dog owners is don’t even think about it unless their dog is completely “solid.” Not solid from a physical frame stand point, but from a personality and temperament perspective. A therapy dog must be willing to work, and have a great love of all people PLUS a super high tolerance for human unpredictibleness, if that is a word.

And owners have requirements too.

They need to be willing to devote an hour or two a week to take their therapy dog to places such as hospitals, nursing homes, or institutions – anyplace that allows therapy dogs that your certifying organization asks you to visit. The other common element I have noticed is that therapy dog owners love to talk with others about their dogs. If this is something you enjoy, and you have the time for some community service, you are on the right road.

Some dogs choose to get their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate to facilitate their training. Given by the American Kennel Club, the CGC certificate is recognized as the gold standard for dog behavior. It means you are a responsible owner and your dog is well-mannered. This is particularly helpful as an early step for the “Bully” breeds which we all know can be total pussycats, sorry Percy.

But getting a CGC certificate is not

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

a therapy dog qualification test. You must still pass an in-person test by the certifying organization which looks at how the dog behaves as well as how you control your dog.

There are several local organizations offer therapy dog training; some are national in scope and some are truly local.

In Beaufort, check out Therapy Dogs Inc. and Pet Partners (formerly Delta Society) who are two of the several organizations operating in the Lowcountry. Although these organizations all have different requirements for certifying a therapy dog, here are some of the most common requirements you may run across: • Dogs must be more than 12 months old and under 10 years old with excellent manners.

• Dogs will probably be required to be fully vaccinated for the following canine diseases (your Vet will have to provide vaccination information): Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Cough (Bordatella bronchseptica and Adenvirus Type 2).

• Dogs may be required to be on heartworm preventative medication and treated regularly for internal and external parasites.

• You will be required to have your Vet conduct a health screening test on your dog to determine their suitability to visit physically.

• Retesting of qualified therapy dogs may be required every two years.

• Volunteers may have to complete a training session and/or an orientation.

• You will need your own transportation to travel to your facility each visit.

• As a volunteer, you may need to pass a police check or a background check.

• There may be fees involved for training,

certification and other checks required.

What do you get out of this kind of volunteer work? It is hard to describe what goes through your mind when you see your pet snuggle with a child who has cancer or plop their head on the knee of a senior citizen who can’t get around well any more. This is one of those great things where you definitely get back much more than you can ever invest. It is so worth the time and effort to have a certified therapy dog. As the old commercial said, “Try it, you’ll like it!”

WHAT INSPIRES DOG NAMES?

Naming a new dog can be a daunting task. Like with children, it is something that will last the ages. You don’t want little Weasel saddled with a name that will get him bullied at doggie daycare, do you? So take your time, do some research and pick the one that meshes best with the personality of your new pup.

Interestingly, we are seeing a trend in choosing names that are based on personal passions rather than on Disney characters or regular people names. For example, if you are a foodie, you might choose Kale or Queso for a name. Those who like a little libation in their lives might choose Saki, Whiskey, Guinness

or Jameson. Characters from Games of Thrones or other popular TV shows or movies are always popular like Khaleesi, Vader, or Malfoy.

And big name brands seem to appeal to the fashionistas among us. Diesel, Gucci, or a great play on words, Jimmy Chew.

And for sports enthusiasts, Jeter is still a big draw even though he has retired.

Here is a random sample of other unique names that may lead you to think about non-traditional monikers: • Luna Lovegood • Bruce Wayne • Honey Boo Boo • Condoleezza

• Muttley Crue • Salvador Dogi So the sky is the limit – literally. You could choose star names or planet names, real or fiction. But the best piece of advice I ever received was from an old timer who said, “Before you settle on a name for your dog, go outside and yell it at the top of your lungs. If you don’t sound like a lunatic or it embarrasses you, then go ahead and use it.” Good advice for those of you who want to name your pup after a candy and choose Reece’s Puppycups.

Remember we all have friends who we have thought privately, “what were their parents thinking?”

Meet Pepper and Gump, two pups belonging to Art Director, Hope Falls. The name Pepper was inspired by her bright orange coat and her love for laying under habanero pepper plants while playing in the garden. And Gump from a lowcountry classic ­— Forest Gump!
