News Shrimp Race Offers A-Peeling Chance at $100,000 Prize Oct. 2 With the pageantry of Churchill Downs and the booming announcement “Racers, start your shrimp!” the world’s largest shrimp race will start October 2 in the Beaufort River. The event, now in its second year, raises money for charities through the Sea Island Rotary Club of Beaufort and is part of the annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival. The race will start around 1 p.m. Proceeds from the charity race go to the Sea Island Rotary’s selected charities, including Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA), wounded soldiers through the Independence Fund, and Beaufort Children’s Charities. “As Bubba said in ‘Forrest Gump,’ we have fried shrimp, shrimp and grits, boiled shrimp, and we have the Shrimp Race,” said Lowell Keene of the Sea Island Rotary Club. “It’s all in good fun and we raise money for wounded veterans and important
Select
local charities. Plus, there’s the chance that someone might win the $100,000 grand prize, so just like the shrimp, that has ‘appeal’.”
In the Shrimp Race, 5,000 rubber floating shrimp are dropped into the Beaufort River at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Each shrimp is numbered and will float with the current to the finish line. People “adopt” shrimp at $10 per prawn – the first 10 shrimp to cross the finish bring their owners a cash prize ranging from $100 for tenth place to $2,000 for first.

Oct 1st, Gary Sinise and the Lt Dan Band will be performing a FREE concert for the community at Waterfront Park. Free, however, does not mean that it comes without a cost. The Independence Fund, (www.independencefund.org) is the non-profit that is sponsoring the concert and solely responsible for paying the band, providing their travel and covering most of the staging and lighting expenses for this “free” event. The free concert is basically a $60,000 production being provided by a non-profit, managed entirely by unpaid combat veterans. That these men and women love this country enough to do this, and provide this community with “gift” I think says much about their character.

Board of Elections to Absentee Voters: Avoid Use of Third Party Sites When applying for absentee ballots, voters are advised to avoid third party web sites, such as scabsentee. com, which generate form letters on their behalf for transmission to county election commissions. Sites such as this are not affiliated with the South Carolina Election Commission and the Beaufort County Election Commission. Voters are cautioned against providing personal information, such as full name and date of birth, through insecure, forms-generating sites.
Doing so may increase the risk of identity theft and voter fraud. In addition, the use of sites such as scabsentee.com do not speed the absentee voting process. It may even delay it, since voter information is being channeled through a third party instead of being communicated directly from the voter to the applicable election commission. Beaufort County voters may request an absentee ballot application by calling (843) 255-6900, by fax at (843) 255-9429, or via email to voter@bcgov.net.

Straight Talk Jim Bequette Questions County Finance Committee The Chairman of the Beaufort County Finance Committee letter published in a local daily and his comments to County Council members contain misleading information. In debunking the District’s reserve funds, Mr. Rodman wrote the following: “The board also argues that a large reserve (fund balance) is required for hurricane recovery and to protect the district’s strong bond rating. However, taxes are collected at the end of the year so the needed funds are already on hand.”
in early November while the peak hurricane season is September and October. Few taxes are collected in July through November. Last year the taxes collected in the July, August and September were $2.9 million while the expenditures were $31 million to operate the schools. School reserves would be totally depleted without short term borrowing if a hurricane or other disaster occurred. The Chairman states, “The District only needs a reserve of 10%.” The County itself has one of over Does the Finance Committee 20%. When the County forces the Chairman understand property tax District to spend its reserve from procedures? Tax bills normally mail 15% down to 10%, why doesn’t the
County likewise spend its reserve down to 10% and lower county taxes 4 or 5 mills. The District has a bond rating of AA. The rating agencies recommend a fund balance (reserve) near 15% The School District has a target of 15%. Since receiving the AA rating, millions in interest has been saved. By a 6-5 vote, County Council jeopardizes years of District hard work in building a needed reserve by refusing a 2% mill increase to the District. Jim Bequette

News The Port Royal/Yemassee Utility Corridor By Jim Hicks, Chairman, Northern Regional Plan Committee The story of the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) new utility corridor located along the path of the former Port Royal Railroad is complicated, confusing and not well known or understood by the average citizen of Beaufort County. It is also a story without an end in that additional chapters have yet to be written.
The railroad was operated by Tangent Transportation which was a wholly owned subsidiary of SCPRC. This state operated railroad experienced the same challenges as the private owners had run into - insufficient demand for rail transportation. The primary business consisted of a car or two to the Marine Corps Air Station, to a building supply firm or to the docks at Port Royal.

This month, in an effort to present a more comprehensive picture and detect any emerging trends of the real estate market in our area, we will look at all of Northern Beaufort County
to include Fripp and Harbor Islands. In addition to residential data are all classes of real estate, such as undeveloped and commercial property. The following charts compare the total northern Beaufort Count real estate market for the first 8 months of 2009 to the same period in 2010.

I must say the above numbers are encouraging. Although there is the usual volatility we have come to expect, the upper peaks seem to be a little above 2009, (please see monthly chart on the LIBPA web site at www.libpa.org). Total sales volume is up (+4%), and number of listings sold is up (+15%). Another good sign is the Days On the Market (DOM) being down (-10%). The fact that median prices are off (-5%) may not be considered a good sign, but as mentioned in an earlier article, there is usually a time lag when it comes to home prices. When sales were falling…prices continued to rise for almost two years. I suspect that, even now with sales appearing to be picking up; prices may still continue to soften in some areas and price brackets. There were fears in the industry that the $8000 tax allowance, which expired at the end of April would have a more negative effect than it did. There was a drop in May and June, but the market seems to have shrugged it off and is moving forward…all be it at a snails pace!
LISTINGS CLOSED 446 (+15%)
I do feel the commercial numbers give us cause for concern. Only three commercial buildings sold in the last seven and a half months. This apparent weakness in the commercial real estate market is indicative of the national commercial picture. It is an indication of how few new businesses are starting up. Another factor is that commercial financing can be lot harder to obtain than regular conforming loans. It goes without say that this is putting a damper on a lot of people’s entrepreneurial spirit. I know everyone is looking at the statistics and hoping we have hit the bottom of this real estate correction cycle, and many forecasters, in the past, have prematurely said we had hit bottom. Looking at the overall numbers for the first seven months of this year, I feel we may well have seen the worse, and that we will slowly but surely claw our way out of this great real estate recession. We could well look back at 2009 as being the worst of the worst years we have seen in a lifetime. Let is all hope that is the case.

Tuten will present Lowcountry Time and Tide: The Fall of the South Carolina Rice Kingdom, a new vision of the agricultural, environmental, economic, cultural and climatic changes that resulted in a struggle to perpetuate the once-lucrative rice production. His book of the same title explores ways in which the former grandees of the antebellum period and their newly freed slaves sought to revive rice production partially because of rice planting’s cultural mystique. It covers the era from the close of the war up until the hardscrabble years
of the 1930s. Tuten will explore the cultural history of rice both as a food way and a symbol of wealth and discuss the lasting legacy of rice culture including the role of rice and rice plantations in the modern tourism industry.

Beaufort Academy Happenings The BA Swim Team spent Saturday morning at the Grayco Hardware Store on Lady’s Island selling t-shirts and bracelets in support of the Lt Dan Weekend and the 2010 Beaufort Shrimp Festival. The team raised over $595.00 for the Independence Fund. The Independence Fund’s core mission is “to provide the tools, therapies and guidance for those veterans severely injured in the Global War on Terror that they otherwise would not receive.”
Riverview Book Fair and Read-a-thon Riverview’s parent organization, The Riverview Community Cooperative (RCC), hosted its first meeting of the 2010 school year this past Monday with a packed room of eager families! Afterwards, Riverview students and parents enjoyed an Ice-cream social to kick off Riverview’s Read-a-thon and Scholastic Book Fair. To encourage literacy and get students excited about reading, Riverview students have been challenged to set daily reading goals and teachers and parents are joining forces to make time for reading in school and
at home. In addition to promoting reading, students will collect pledges for each minute they read until October 9 to support the literacy programs at Riverview. Parents have also organized the Scholastic Book Fair to jump-start the Read-a-thon and sales totaled nearly $1000 on opening night. Students and families are encouraged to come to the Book Fair from 8:00-9:00am and from 3:20-4:00 until September 17. Support Riverview students by encouraging them to meet their reading goals and make a pledge today!

The Beaufort High School Eagles: One Team, One Family By Wendy Pollitzer
Last week, I had the pleasure of spending a Thursday afternoon with the Beaufort High School Eagles Varsity Football Team, coached by Mark Clifford. What is notable about this team is their commitment to respect each other, their coaches and their community. I was beyond impressed with the players’ overall character and the team’s camaraderie. Take a step back in time for a bit. Remember your High School days? Remember those Friday nights when the whole town showed up at dusk to cheer on your alma mater? Remember the excitement? Well Beaufort, you can relive the glory days in your own back
aching when you go home. These young men are from all walks of life, backgrounds and experiences. When I saw them together, as a team, their pasts were erased. They were devoted to one thing: their family. Not their maternal or paternal families… their football family. From 3:30 to 5pm, the offensive and defensive lines practiced on opposite sides of the field, shouting enthusiastic cheers when an individual made a good play. Their applause for their teammates was steady and sincere. An assistant coach yelled, “You gotta bring you’re A-game tomorrow Baby! We got to be sharp!” And the sideline cheered and roared every time he would make an encouraging comment. The emotion was spirited and uplifting. I then followed Coach Clifford into the school and chatted with him for a bit about his 2010 team. “This team is tight and close. There is no envy, no jealousy. They have a good time together,” says Clifford. “This year, we have to pace ourselves. We’re not a flashy team (except our uniforms-they’re flashy)! Ray Jones (the Strength Coach) makes us strong, our assistant coaches are dedicated to their teams, and we try to win by using proper techniques and being smart.”
Coach Clifford escorted me into the Mark Clifford, in his seventh year as Head Coach cafeteria, where Tre’ Hall, a native at Beaufort High has an overall record of 58-18.

Restaurant Rumors & Rumblings After the recent closing of Kathleen’s, there has been Lanier Laney such a flood of rumors this past week about other restaurants closing or for sale in Beaufort that I decided to check on some of the stories for you. The biggest one was that Wren was closing. This turned out not to be the case; but, they did close the cheese shop to make room for more seating, which was probably the source of this rumor. Nora Honeycut, one of my favorite bartenders in town, assured me that Wren was indeed open and going strong.

Don’t even try and tell me you don’t know what The Packing Bottle is! Everyone who drinks wine has had one, just no one except for me is attached enough to their wine to name their bottles. The Packing Bottle is the bottle you sip through when you’re packing your suitcase for a trip. (I just know your head is nodding now. Oh, yeah, The Packing Bottle.) Now, assuming we’re going to skip talking about what kind of person names their wine bottles, we can jump forward to how you pick your Packing Bottle. For me, it’s fun and analytical all at the same time. Fun because, let’s face it, I get a glass as soon as it’s picked and opened. Analytical because The Packing Bottle has to be one that you won’t be able to get on your trip and that you’ll miss while you’re gone. There is not logical point in having your Packing Bottle be one that you can just as easily have when you get where you’re going. Seriously, why

The Packing Bottle drink a French wine, for example, when you’re packing to go to Paris. If you did that, it would be called your “trip” bottle. Tonight my Packing Bottle is for a trip to California, Napa in particular. So, I have ruled out all American wines. With the doors of the world of wine open, the choices were almost too many. Keeping in mind that this bottle has to taste as far away from what I’ll be tasting (drinking?) in Napa as I can get. With that, my mind wandered to some lesser drunk countries and wines, in my drinking experience at least. I thought South America, I thought Chile. I’ve had this wine, tastings only, several times and always really liked it. But I haven’t taken the time to sip my way through a bottle to see how it develops and, just as important, I haven’t told you about it. So, now I am multi-tasking, packing, sipping and taking notes for you. Lucky me and lucky you!
Over the last several years, the wines of Chile have come a long way - better quality, more variety of wineries, styles, grapes - all things we’re always looking for. Too, the more we’re open to all this newness, the more good wines we’ll find to drink. I suspect they’re getting out better wines because we’re more accepting of them. (Why would wineries make wines and export them to us if no one wants them?) But here I am, ready, willing and able to sip through this bottle as I toss all the wrong clothes for my trip into too small a suitcase. I hope this wine will help me get through not only packing but the wonderful “sardine in a can” part of traveling. The winery for this wine is MontGras (no space between the two words). This is a relatively new producer, founded in 1993 in the Colchaqua region of Chile. Twenty million U.S. dollars were invested into this company in order for them to make the best premium Chilean wines, all at exceptionally good pricing. That’s

continued from page 10 their respectful disposition. These were charming young men. The first group with whom I talked called themselves, the “Fantastic Four.” Cody Beals, Tyler Cieplowski, Benji Calderon and Kevin Gess are buddies on and off the field. “We’re always together. In the summer, we’re out on the river everyday, kneeboarding and waterskiing. We’ve become a family,” explained Calderon. When asked why they appreciated this Thursday night fellowship ritual, Gess stated, ”It gives us a good look at who we’re playing with. No uniforms or helmets. We see the real person off the field. So, we celebrate us being different, but being a team as well.” And, when asked what the community can do to help the Eagles this season, they all replied together, “Come to the games!” That was a consistent answer among the players. Quarterback Beau Brown said, “We feed off the crowd. The more people we have rooting for us, the better we play as a team.” There are, in fact, a number of ways the community can support the Eagles this season. The first, and most important act, is to come out to the Home games and cheer for the team. Another way is to join the Beaufort High Booster Club. There are 70 members now, and member Scott Dennis thinks that number needs to grow significantly. “There are probably 12 of us that come out on a regular basis and support the team. We need more people to help,” says Dennis. “We need volunteers to help do things like spruce up the field, paint the walkway and help with the overall appearance of the
facilities.”
can transform these kids. He teaches them how to win and lose gracefully. “
These kids deserve it. They are practicing and playing their hearts out. They need the support of the community. Another way to help is by purchasing a banner that travels to the baseball field once the football season is over. Business owners can buy a 6x20, 6x10 or 3x5 banner that promotes their company or sends a good luck message to a Beaufort High athlete. Spectrum Graphics prints the banners, and they hang all season long in plain view for thousands to see. Also, on November 13, the Beaufort High Booster Club will host an Oyster Roast at the Port Royal Community Oyster Shed from 4pm-Until. Cost is $25 per person and $40 per couple. For tickets or more information about the Booster Club, you may call Scott Dennis at 321-0944 or Booster Club President, Jono Lyn Ferreri, at 986-4093. Booster Club member, Jessica Brown (mother of QB, Beau Brown and Sophomore QB, Zack Brown) summed up the character of the team by saying, “After hosting a pre-season pool party at our house, I would gladly have each and every one of these boys back at my home for a visit any time they wanted to come over. They were all so grateful, polite and respectful. They are good kids.”
And Assistant Coach Terry Thomas agrees. “We started a tutoring program three years ago. If a player has an average of 84% or below, he is assigned a tutor from The National Honor Society, the Language Society or a hand-picked, above-average student. So far, over 100 athletic and academic scholarships have been awarded to our players.” Coach Thomas also explains,“There is only one reason this program is successful… Coach Clifford. He supports it 100%. He believes in academics first.” I can attest to the overall character of this esteemed team. They are a Class Act! Each of these young men deserves Beaufort’s support and encouragement. I promise, attending a Home game will inspire you. The 2010 Eagles are the glue. Let us be the strength and force that keeps them bonded! Agustin Martinez is the Inspirational Speaker that eloquently delivers encouraging words to the team after each Thursday night meal. He begins, “The war begins tomorrow night Eagles. Are you ready to hit?” A boisterous team yells back, “Yes Sir!”
It’s a sentiment shared by many. Since Coach Cifford took over as Head Coach seven years ago, he has actively maintained a character-building program that yields intelligent, reverent and hard-working young men.
After a few positive remarks about the team, he ends with the words, “Beaufort High School Eagles…”
Lynn Dennis, who met many of these young men at Lady’s Island Middle School, explained to me, “Coach Clifford
They are our family too, Beaufort. See you at the Game.

To All Beaufort County Clemson Club Members & Fans, We are going to start our Clemson away game viewings this Saturday. We are going to try to hold them at two locations this year in order to better serve members and interested fans in Beaufort area. The meeting place will be the same as last year located at the Office Sports Bar & Grill @ 2121 Boundary. It is located in the Kmart shopping center adjacent to the BiLo grocery store and Pizza Inn restaurant. We will start gathering between 6:30 & 7:00 pm for the Clemson / Auburn show down. I can be reached @ 843- 321-2101 with any questions. Last year we had great success with the viewings. With the raffles we raised close to $1500 towards two scholarships that
we will try to fund this year. Lets’ all get out and support our local Clemson Club, students / future students, and enjoy the fellowship. Clemson is coming off of its 2nd win and will face a large adverse crowd as well as their first real test at Auburn, possibly over 87,000 fans. We hope to see a crowd at both locations on Saturday. I would like to remind everyone that this is a family affair, so our younger fans are certainly welcome to attend. Thanks for your support As always, GO TIGERS Gene Darby / President Beaufort County Clemson Club 843-321-2101

The Day in the Life of a Realtor By Cherimie Crane
Thanks to HGTV and the ‘get paid’ or ‘give up’ Realtors Cherimie Crane that seem to find a microphone at every turn, the perception of the life of a Realtor is a bit tainted. Unlike the popular flip, fix up, and find riches in thirty-minute TV programs, our days don’t have commercial breaks, and no one is following us around fixing our hair (no matter how much I beg). The behind the scenes, or behind the signs action isn’t very glamorous…at times extremely humorous, but certainly not glamorous. Realtor Open Houses are one of our many obligations. Realtors who believe open houses don’t work, are really saying, “Please, for the love of shrimp season, don’t make me do it!” The brutal truth is open house definitely work, but only when the Realtor does.
on the hours leading up to the typical Realtor Open House. Regardless of who does the catering, they won’t remember your order, your name, your desperate plea to be prompt; but, they will have the bill upon request. Once you survive the panic of knowing you may or may not have food for the hungry crew that may or may not actually show up, you break just about every traffic law only to be caught by the bridge, both ways....twice.
The catchy little invitation, the color coordinated mass email, or the freshly printed flyer is really just a millimeter on the yard stick of open houses. When faced with open house day, the Realtor wakes up, puts on a helmet or other protective gear, looks in the mirror and says, “Smile no matter what happens.” It is the ‘no matter what,’ that always happens. There could be a reality show based
After participating in the pre open house animal kingdom fiasco, you quickly return to the kitchen to set up a mouthwatering display with the hopes that a fellow Realtor will remember this home should they find a compatible buyer. The spread is complete, napkins neatly folded; Monet himself would be impressed with the creative display of sandwiches, and one by one Realtors make their way through the door.
Eventually you get to the property to find your sellers somehow forgot to take Fido, Fluffy, Fancy, and THE Ferret out for the day. Now your days of watching the Discovery Channel pay off. In the midst of trying to prepare the house for the most discerning critics, you slip off your open house heels and commence to begging the family pets to go somewhere, anywhere but the kitchen!
Three hours of elegantly describing the property while serving lunch mixed with playing defense on anyone OR anything that may damage, scratch, or scuff anything shiney, it is time to clean up. It is our job to make sure to leave the home just as we found it. What is supposed to be a three-hour appointment is always at least five. The amount of mental fortitude, energy, and ability to smile is more than most care to even attempt. We do this, why? Because it is our job. The more people we can get to see how
lovely your home truly is, the better chance we have of helping you reach your goal. We DO not do this for fun. It isn’t on our list of “Awesome things to do,” but we do it nonetheless. Realtor Open Houses do work. I see it everyday. So if your overworked, underpaid, overwhelmed, somehow still smiling Realtor hosts an open house at your home, know that they are doing what you hired them to do…and a whole lot more! And for heaven’s sake please., please put Fido, Fluffy, Fancy and the Ferret in their kennel!!

BowWOW! Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends Old Friend, Live With Me Forever Old dogs are our friends and protectors; the life-long love affair we have with them is priceless. They have endured our foolishness, overlooked our mistakes and have celebrated our achievements alongside us for years. They, in part, have contributed to who we are. A kind heart demands we return to them in their dotage the attention they unfailingly gave to us in their youth. We cannot indefinitely prolong our aging dog’s life but we can pledge to enhance the enjoyment of the time left. Simply, they ask that we guide them into a comfortable old age. When does a dog become an old dog? Each individual, dog or person, has his own tempo for aging. Smaller dogs age less quickly than larger breeds and mutts seem to have more longevity than purebred dogs. As dogs approach the age of seven, muzzles may whiten, the eyes may become a bit more opaque and chasing-the-ball time becomes shorter and less enthusiastic. As he becomes even older he may have trouble with stairs, his appetite may decrease, he may develop changes in appearance and he may get a bit crotchety. Sleeping becomes a major
pastime. What can we do to make this transition easier? Old dogs like hands-on love. Jefferson has been part of the family for the last eleven years. He’s such a part of the household routine that no one really notices him anymore. But now is the time to recognize his important contribution to the family by giving him special time. Carve ten minutes from your hectic daily schedule to simply put your hands on your old dog. Listen to him breathe. Tell him he is The Best. Gently stroke him, feel for lumps, bumps, warm areas, tender spots—any signs that a veterinary check-up could improve his health and your peace of mind. Communicate to him that you appreciate his place in your life. Take care where your old dog sleeps. Older joints are less well lubricated; often it is painful getting up and down. Would Jefferson be more comfortable on a thick, orthopedic foam pad? Does Jeff prefer to lean into something when he sleeps, place his head up on a bolster? Is he less restless if his bed is next to yours? When sleeping is an aged friend’s major
activity, a special bed may be his due. Obsess about his nutrition and health. Even though Jeff ’s hearing has diminished and he creaks when he rises from the floor, he can still get himself to the kitchen with delighted effort when he hears his food bowl rattle. It’s still the highlight of his day! Consult with a professional about geriatric foods, supplements and new ways to tempt his aging palate. Antioxidant supplements such as vitamins A, C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine and MSM are all beneficial to the older dog. Sometimes a top dressing of herbs or spices or dry grated cheese is all it takes to make mealtime even more special. Avoid stress. Jeff may no longer be able to tolerate extremes in heat or cold or drastic interruptions in his routine. With another season of festivities just two months away it might be time to consider, now how hordes of visitors, especially rambunctious kids and puppies may affect Jeff ’s quiet life. It might be time to designate a special Quiet Zone retreat for Jeff, still in the area but out of the traffic pattern.
I simply cannot say enough good things about Beaufort Dog! I got Bam-Bam in July of 2008, and my husband and I moved to Beaufort in August of 2008. I knew a time would come when I’d have to get a job, but when it finally did I was not prepared to leave my baby at home. I had researched Beaufort Dog before as a training possibility, so I decided to look into doggy daycare. I thought it might not be a possibility, that it would be too expensive, or that it would be a bunch of small, pampered pooches that my giant, gangly mastiff puppy wouldn’t fit in with. Boy was I surprised! Not only is it affordable—so much that even regular folks can afford it—Bam-Bam loves going! He goes three days a week, and those three days he follows me around all morning and rushes for the car as I open the door to leave. He has gotten lots of great socialization that many dogs miss out on (and is so important when owning a dog with the potential to reach 200+lbs), and he comes home and sleeps like a baby. We also finished up Advanced Obedience at Beaufort Dog, and as a result, at 7 months old passed the AKC Canine Good Citizenship test. That in and of itself is a true feat! I simply cannot say enough good things about Beaufort Dog! Rebecca Ponce

Exercise mind and body. Don’t believe the old adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Stimulate your dog’s brain with new teachings, new places to see and smell and new things to do. Stimulating a dog’s mind helps keep the brain in tip-top shape. Choose new destinations for the evening walk or play “search and rescue”, a game all dogs love. My beagle learned how to “sit pretty” (sit up) at age 12. At 14 she took great pride in conning for snacks. Nourish his spirit. What does an old dog want? You, and your undivided attention. Love him today like there is no tomorrow. BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath.
