Frazier has a huge reservoir of goodwill and many of his supporters attended the ceremony on Monday, Sept. 27. Heavyweight Champion, Larry Holmes and longtime Madison Square Garden photographer George Kalinsky were just a few of the well wishers who came to Beaufort and spoke on Frazier’s behalf. Also speaking to congratulate the former Olympic and heavyweight boxing champion were local businessmen Matt McAlhany and John Trask III, who was also the Master of Ceremonies; former Mayor Henry C. Chambers; former student of Joe Frazier and boxer, Charles Singleton; Business Manager of Joe Frazier, Les Wolff; State Senator Tom Davis; Mayor Billy Keyserling; and, of course, Governor Mark Sanford.

STRAIGHT TALK

Moving forward not always easy Informed decisions require open and civil conversation If there is a silver lining in today’s tough economic times, it is that we are being forced into conversations about new ways of doing business to achieve sustainability. Because issues are important and matter to all of us, these conversations are often heated and even contentious, We must keep the conversation civil and ultimately arrive at decisions that will hopefully make our hometown an even better place for all. I believe the lively conversation over the JSF 35-B is about the ultimate sustainability of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort at a time when it is likely there will be reductions in defense spending and subsequent base closures. I believe the emotional conversation over rebranding USCB, and expanding the Beaufort College campus, is about sustaining and growing a community, regional, state and national asset at a time when state government has essentially abandoned it. I believe conversations among nonprofit organizations suffering from falling revenues are about the struggle to meet growing needs with fewer resources and making difficult changes required for survival. Fortunately, in late 2008, when the city saw early signs of a falling economy and anticipated revenue shortfalls, we implemented mid-year budget cuts to ensure a balanced budget at year’s end. Knowing that a general tax increase was not an option, when expected revenues fell by 20 percent, we were forced to learn to do more with less. While I have lauded my Beaufort City Council colleagues and our staff for the changes we achieved, I have perhaps implied that we did the “obvious” and it was “easy.” That is not the case! At our public work sessions we sat around a table analyzing challenges, reviewing options while often disagreeing amongst ourselves. But, committed to doing what was necessary, we took the time to understand other’s concerns and differing points of view. We invited citizens to the table to talk about issues that affected their neighborhoods. We brought in experts to teach us new ways. In the end, through a civil conversation and mutual respect, we built consensus and moved forward to do what had to be done. While the city is fiscally sound, a larger conversation about our future is brewing. It is about rebuilding our city on its original framework. Let me explain. As stores and other businesses shut their doors, we are awakened to the fact that our city of only 12,000, moderate to low income people, half of whom are renters, has not grown during the past two decades. We must grow. The question is how? Beaufort was designed to be lived in, to work in, and to play in. Between

Beafort Mayor Billy Keyserling is always interested in hearing your thoughts and can be reached at billyk@islc.net

While the city is fiscally sound, a larger conversation about our future is brewing. It is about rebuilding our city on its original framework. Ribaut Road and Carteret Street, and Bay and Boundary Streets, including adjacent neighborhoods like Pigeon Point, Higginsonville, Floyd Heights and Hundred Pines, Beaufort is interconnected, presents a humanscale, is walkable, diverse and, in some parts, had a mixed-use framework. The civic infrastructure of those days, fortunately, remains in our churches, our schools, our parks and our core center. But today there is a lot of empty space not used for what it was meant to be. Over the past 50 or so years, we inadvertently almost destroyed our “model town” and are today at risk of losing its original beauty and functionality. We imposed suburban standards of zoning, created bulky and non user-friendly development processes, and encouraged investment outside of our core city, creating sprawl which is very inefficient and has driven up the cost of government. By separating uses and caving in to special interests through what now appear to have been stupid annexations, we created a fractionalized community which, in its original designed form, was meant to interconnect us economically, socially, environmentally and culturally. How do we turn this around, reinstill the city’s functionality, make more room for small businesses and build a strong future for a city that is the golden centerpiece of the region? A review of the city’s comprehensive plan will show that our mission is to grow Beaufort from within, to build on our long standing urban model and to become more resilient to the ups and downs of the economy and the whims of special interests. For those who want to review the plan, it can be found at www.cityofbeaufort.org under the planning department. A plan is one thing. Getting citizen “buy in”, harnessing the public and private resources and implementing the plan is yet another. The following are some of the many issues under discussion.

www.yourislandnews.com

Downtown Infill The Issue: There is a tension between historic preservation and the desire to construct new infill in the historic core of downtown. Furthermore, downtown has lost its balance between serving those who come to visit and those who live here and would like to shop if the goods and services we require were available. A Solution: Create a detailed urban design plan for the core city that balances our historic character with a reasonable level of contemporary infill so downtown might again be a “living downtown” for the entire community, not simply an outdoor museum for visitors. When I talk about “downtown,” I am talking about all of the connected neighborhoods and not just Bay Street. regeneration of the northwest quadrant The Issue: The Northwest Quadrant neighborhood is in a period of long decline and disinvestment though it is a neighborhood that represents the kind of social and economic diversity required to make a downtown survive. A Solution: Encourage select improvements on a block-by-block basis that is complimentary to the historical and cultural significance of the area using strategic investments and more consistent and user-friendly codes. civic engagement Over the past 18 months we have worked hard to strengthen existing and build new neighborhood associations that are working hand in the hand with the city. With their help, we can improve Beaufort, neighborhood by neighborhood and block by block so we can regain our resilience become even more walkable, include more mixed (property) use opportunities and repair the emptiness that recent development patterns left us with. Many of the answers are found in a “form base code.” Though many use the term loosely, many do not understand what it means. Instead of learning, using false assumptions and misunderstandings, many are likely to resist the fact that they may have to do things differently to recapture the functionality of the original Beaufort. And yet others are sitting on the sidelines oblivious to the conversation and will not speak up until they see change which they may or may not like. The city of Beaufort, The Town of Port Royal and Beaufort County Council are investing in the development of a form base code. I urge you to learn about it, join the conversation, talk with us, share your thoughts and, by doing so, help us make Beaufort what it was designed to be and what we want it to be — a functional, sustainable, diverse and financially healthy city.

“This is a great opportunity to live in one of the prettiest waterfront cities in the South,” the magazine wrote. “The Quadrant’s downtown location puts it within walking distance of restaurants and shops.” The magazine (available online at www.thisoldhouse.com/bestplaces) also notes values in Salisbury, N.C., and Brunswick, Ga., among the Palmetto State’s neighbors. “We have worked hard with the residents of the Northwest Quadrant, our neighborhood associations and the Historic Beaufort Foundation to showcase some of these neighborhoods that have been overlooked,” Keyserling said. “It’s a real treat to have the Northwest Quadrant recognized for the jewel that it is.” The magazine article praises Beaufort’s work to help beautify the Northwest Quadrant. “The City and its preservation-minded mayor are determined to breathe new life into (the neighborhood) by working with

As part of its on-going disaster recovery program, Beaufort County has launched a new website, www.beaufort countydisasterrecovery.net. The site will be accessible and active year round and offer helpful information to the public regarding the aftermath of a major hurricane, earthquake or other disaster. It will also provide citizens with timely updates during the recovery process and serve as an alternative internet location should the regular county website go dark during and following a major disaster. Rob McFee, the county’s Infrastructure and Engineering Manager, who also serves as the county’s recovery director, said the site was designed to help answer important questions before, during and following a disaster. “We invite all residents and local government officials to visit this site now, before a big disaster hits.”

Northwest Quadrant named as one of ‘Best Old House Neighborhoods’ A year of intense clean-up help by the city of Beaufort, coupled with “preservation-minded” Mayor Billy Keyserling and the efforts of Historic Beaufort Foundation, helped editors of This Old House magazine name Beaufort’s Northwest Quadrant one of the nation’s 51 ‘Best Old House Neighborhoods.’ The area, once a thriving black middle-class neighborhood just blocks from the Beaufort River, fell into disrepair in the 1970s. It became one of Beaufort’s blighted and neglected areas until renovations started in earnest in the mid-1990s. Starting in 2009, city leaders joined hands with involved area homeowners to remove huge amounts of accumulated debris as well as help remove overgrowth and clean up the blight, said Henrietta Goode, chairman of the Northwest Quadrant Neighborhood Improvement Association. The Northwest Quadrant features hall-and-parlor cottages mostly of wood frame construction and tin roofs. The magazine notes that homes in the area are available from $100,000 to $150,000.

residents to edge sidewalks, clear vacant lots, and entice people to buy and restore a house here.” During the last year, city leaders, volunteers and residents removed more than 300 tons of debris from Beaufort, including the Northwest Quadrant. The effort not only improved the area’s looks, but also removed tons of flammable material, noted Mack Cook, the city’s comptroller and key organizer for the cleanups. “It’s nice to see the Northwest Quadrant in the magazine,” Cook said. “It’s a great little neighborhood, filled with history and good people who take pride in their homes. We’ll continue to support them and the rest of the city residents as we work to make this the ‘Best Place to Live’ in the whole country.” In addition, city leaders continue to improve the Northwest Quadrant and other areas by encouraging appropriate in-fill development and using new formbased zoning and other tools to boost the economic growth of Beaufort.

News SC health leader recognized at national conference The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) has presented Roland Gardner, CEO of Beaufort-Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services (BJHCS) in Ridgeland, with the 2010 John Gilbert Award. The award, which recognizes long standing excellence and leadership in community health, was presented to Gardner at the association’s Community Health Institute in Dallas, Texas, a national conference attended by nearly 2,000 community health leaders from across the country. In accepting the award, Gardner noted that 2010 marks his 36th year in the health center movement. “What has been most gratifying and inspiring to me is to live and work in the Beaufort community where I was born and reared,” he said. “I have had the pleasure of being part of a system that brings doctors and basic health care to people

in need. Before BJHCS was established, many poor elderly, migrant farmworkers and low-income families had never been seen by a physician in their lives. I am proud to be part of a community-based system of care that has been recognized by state, local, and national officials as being a catalyst in improving health, expanding access, and helping to reduce infant mortality rates from an alarming 29.6 per 1,000 live births (1970) to 7.3 per 1,000 live births.” BJHC, where Gardner has served as CEO since 1980, provides health care for three rural counties and is becoming one of the largest and most respected health care providers in South Carolina. The center today has grown to 14 sites, delivering primary care as well as HIV, school-based, and migrant health services. Gardner has led a distinguished career in health care and is recognized nationally for his advocacy on behalf of the medically underserved. He was

News Fishing on a Sunday afternoon On the flat behind Little Capers, the water was smooth and calm. The spartina grass knifed out of the water radiant green in the midday sun. Some of the marsh grass had begun to take on a fall hue turning burnt gold and looking regal as it stood at attention dressed in the time honored colors that this time of year brings. Peter and I wandered back behind the single row of dunes to see what this extraordinary flood tide had brought in. There were breaks in the sea oat encrusted dunes, and you could see the gentle ocean and the outriggers of a shrimp boat as it worked offshore. The flat extended for a mile back to the north and west and came to an end at the deep and sometimes dangerous edge of Trenchard’s Sound. “Hey Dad, do you think we will see any fish?” Peter asked. “Pete, I hope we do. These red fish like to get up here and eat fiddlers when they can ... hey look over there. Be quiet!” I stammered. Just off about 20 yards was a tailing redfish. The dark penciled outline on the top of the tail bordered a bluishgray membrane that wagged dutifully back and forth. The fish had his blunt head in the mud and his ass in the air sniffing out china-back fiddler crabs. Occasionally he would splash violently, disrupting the stillness as he opened up to swallow a fiddler. “Now get ready and cast just past his nose so that you bring the bait back across in front of him.” I told Peter. The boy was staring intently on

the spot that was broadcasting concentric circles of small waves. With each movement of its tail, the fish was displaying a bullseye as its dead center. The boy flipped open John Trask III the bail and cast his braided line just out in front of the fish. There was one large black spot on the top of his tail that faded into a soft opaque blue seen only on these spot tail bass. “Throw it again, but this time bring it in a bit slower. Let the bait sink a bit as it goes by in front of him.” I said. This time he pitched the line nervously and with a little bit more force. It sailed over the mark and into the thick grass. “Dad.” Peter started. “That’s okay son. Just snatch it from the grass and let it settle down before you start reeling.” The boy plucked the lively finger mullet gingerly from the marsh grass and with it came a puff of flaxen hair. Now, during the middle of September, our spartina grass starts its reproductive cycle and begins to seed. The stalks grow long, and on the end a row of seeds is produced. The seeds look and feel almost like the spores of a dandelion or the soft brushy top of pampas grass. They are light and airy and designed to grow above the water line. When the time is right, they blow across the pluff mud and oyster beds to regenerate. The line had wrapped around a seeded

blade of grass and had stripped it bare, and the finger mullet plopped in the water just out of the entanglement. It swam nervously in the open water. The hook had been brought through both lips allowing the bait to still breathe and present a natural motion. Everything looked good. “What now, Dad?” Peter asked. “Just do what you did before boy. Bring it in slow,” I said. The bull red was still working the same small area as the boy encouraged the mullet into range. Instinctively sensing danger, the bait began to quickly move around. It broke the surface of the water as it struggled back towards the sandy bottom. In one sudden motion this bull churned the surface and splashed violently with his entire body. He opened his mouth to at least twice the size of the finger mullet, swung his head around and hit it with such force that the line went completely slack and all seemed lost. “Set the hook Pedro!” I yelled. Peter jerked his rod tip up and began to reel as fast as his 11-year-old arms would let him. In the same motion the rod tip bent for the water and the drag zinged out loud, and the big bull pulled down and away. “Damn boy! You got that son of a bitch now. Don’t let him pull you over.” I shouted. Old Pedro was singular in purpose at

that moment. He knew that if the fish got into the grass and over the oysters that there was a good chance the line would go slack and the wind would pick it up blow it around and he would reel in the frayed end. He didn’t say a word. I leaned over and tightened down the drag a little while he continued to step backwards and reel against the powerful pull. Slowly, the hulking fish started to turn. He got sideways to us and his head began to come around. Abruptly he slung his powerful tail one way and cranked his head the other swimming back deeper and away. Occasionally the big fish would rest near the edge. It was the way a stubborn horse stands and refuses to move. The fish was not angry, only obstinate. “I’m gonna walk towards him and try and reel him up some,” the boy said. As he approached, the big bull would make an effort to run for the safety of the grass. But the strong line, tight drag, and determination of the boy was having its effect. On the sandy shallow flats, the big bull red rested; his copper-red back and motionless tail were out of the water. Perhaps he knew he was too big to keep, or perhaps he had accepted his fate. “Look at him Dad. Isn’t he beautiful? I want to remember this forever. Can we let him go now?” the boy said.

Donation provides healthy food for children The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry received $24,000 from the Walmart Foundation to help feed club members during the summer. Four clubs within the Lowcountry organization — the Bluffton Club, the Hilton Head Club, the Beaufort Club and the Jasper Club — each received $6,000 for healthy snacks and meals. These area clubs are among the more than 400 hundred clubs nationwide that received grant funds from Walmart. Nationally, Boys & Girls Club of America and the Walmart Foundation helped ease the burden for families this summer by providing an estimated 3 million healthy meals and snacks to club members across the U.S. as part of a $3.4 million grant from the Walmart Foundation. Both organizations partnered together to combat poor nutrition, as they are both aware summer months can often pose a challenge as families struggle to feed their kids without the food programs provided by schools. Staff members at Boys & Girls Clubs have seen dramatic increases in the number of young people who arrive at clubs hungry as families struggle to provide for their children during tough economic times. Walmart recently committed $2 billion to hunger relief efforts as part of

Also speaking will be Lt. Tracie Lattimore, who was Ms. Rabin’s son’s primary nurse aboard the USNS Comfort. Cpl. Alan Rabin was hit in the abdomen with small-arms fire. Field physicians removed 90 percent of his stomach, spleen, part of his pancreas, large intestine, and he sustained injuries

to his liver and diaphragm, his mother wrote. Unable to survive evacuation to Germany, he was transferred to the USNS Comfort, anchored off the coast of Kuwait, Ms. Rabin wrote. While aboard, Alan’s kidneys failed, his liver shut down and he was placed on dialysis and a ventilator, she recalled. He survived 20 major surgeries before being transferred to Walter Reed Hospital, where she and her husband were finally able to be at his bedside, three weeks after he was wounded. Six weeks after that, Alan contracted meningitis and suffered a stroke. Her story is one of a mother’s compassion, dedication and devotion to a child suffering what’s called “polytrauma” — extensive multiple injuries — as well as a brain injury. “We live in a military community,” Wall said. “Our students study American and world history and we learn about battles and wars, but we are looking for ways to connect Beaufort Academy to our community and to the world. The Independence Fund is a wonderful link to a great cause, and we are proud to be a part of it.”

School News A Q&A with the principal at Lady’s Island

riverview charter school

Welcome the new Cougar leader Martin Wright By Jacqueline Marisol Ramirez,

7th Grader at Lady’s Island Middle School On Aug. 16, Lady’s Island Middle and Intermediate School received a new principal, Mr. Martin L. Wright. Lady’s Island Middle and Intermediate School students said “Ciao” to Mr. Bennett, who was our principal for three years. The students and faculty were sad to see Mr. Bennett go, but were excited to know that we were going to have an extraordinary new principal. Mr. Wright has made it a goal to go from good to great, and for his students to do their best. I interviewed Mr. Wright to see what he wants to see change in his school in order to make it the best middle school in all Beaufort.

Students commemorate International Peace Day

pinwheels for peace S

tudents at Riverview Charter School took part in an integrated art project, Pinwheels for Peace, in commemoration of International Peace Day. The story behind International Peace Day is an inspirational one. Jeremy Gilley, a documentary film maker, had an idea to establish an annual day of global cease-fire and non-violence, a mission he titled “Peace One Day.” Remarkably, he was able to achieve his mission when the 192 member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted September 21 as an annual day of global cease-fire and non-violence on the U.N. International Day of Peace. How can one day make a difference? Gilley’s goal was to use the day as “a platform for life-saving activities around the world and an opportunity for individuals — particularly young people — to become involved in the peace process.” The day has been used to vaccinate over 1.4 million kids and supplies are distributed safely around the globe due to the cease-fire. Weezy Alcott, Riverview’s visual arts teacher, was inspired by the “Peace One Day” project and set out to find a way for Riverview students to “become involved in the peace process” and commit to finding peaceful solutions in their lives. Spinning off an idea that was started by two art teachers in Florida, Alcott invited Riverview students to participate in an integrated art project called Pinwheels for Peace. “Part of Riverview’s mission is to create engaged global citizens and

to teach through integration. Pinwheels for Peace gave me a launching off point to integrate the mechanics of drawing lines and curves with geometry, symmetry and measurement. It opened the door for conversations about global issues and humanity, ” said Alcott. “Many of our students have family members serving in the war, and we wanted to recognize the sacrifices they are making to create a more peaceful world.” Each student created a pinwheel as a symbolic representation of peace. The 304 whirling pinwheels were displayed on Riverview’s school grounds as staff and students gathered to commemorate International Peace Day with a moment of silence. Austin, a fifth grader at Riverview, said he thought about his father during the moment of silence. “My dad is in Afghanistan, and I thought about his safety.” Second grader, Julianna Lane also thought about her father serving in the war, “I prayed for my dad and that everything would be OK.” Students will further explore the question, “What will you do to make peace?” through a culminating art project that will be permanently displayed at Riverview. “If you start with this generation, it can be the beginning of many more days of peace,” said Alcott. Third grader Claire Bowden noted one of Riverview’s core values when she commented, “If everyone would cooperate, the world would be peaceful.”

Dedicated MARINE

supports those who have served By Wendy Pollitzer

Ken Glasson is the Parris Island and Beaufort Liaison for Marine For Life. Periodically Glasson will be sending Success Stories of Marines For Life, and The Island News will profile these individuals who have chosen to stay in Beaufort to work.

here is no such thing as an ex-marine. Once a marine, always a marine. And in that same spirit of honor and respect for those that have served, a system has been put into place to direct Marines after their tour of duty and take care of their every need. Marine for Life was established in 2002, and it is designed to establish and develop a network of Marine friendly individuals and organizations to provide Marines, Marine veterans and sailors who served with the Marine Corps, assistance in finding employment, educational opportunities and realizing life goals.

According to Ken Glasson, an active duty Marine in charge of increasing the presence of the Marine for Life Program in the Southeast, there are hundreds of thousands who have served that can be directed to employment opportunities across the country. Marine For Life’s headquarters is in Quantico, Va. About 100 Marine For Life representatives such as Glasson, who are Marine Corps reservists, work in cities and towns throughout the U.S. Glasson is the Southeast Area Officer in charge of the program. His job is to create a larger presence for the program, and he has begun working in Beaufort. He said that there are 27,000 marines who come off of active duty who are either discharged or retire; and, 88 percent of those are E-5 (a Sgt.) and below. The country is broken down into six districts, which will be re-aligned into four in the coming months. There are hometown links in each major community, which provides an existing network of national companies that are trying to expand. In fact there is an initiative in Beaufort to retain military personnel and give them jobs in the local market. “Marine For Life’s vision is to contribute to the well-being of Marines

by linking them to a network that is responsive to their lifelong needs,” Glasson said. “Individuals and organizations both with and without Marine Corps experience are vital to the ongoing success of the Marine For Life network. Businesses, educational institutions and mentoring organizations each have an important role to play.” Glasson explained that Marine veterans bring the core values of the Marine Corps — honor, courage and commitment — with them when they make their transitions to civilian life. Marines continue their dedication to service in their communities as they build their homes, their families and their careers, Glasson explained. “Companies know that these Marines are drug free and will show up to work on time and do their part. All of these Marines have gone through four solid years of rigorous training,” said Glasson. “They’ve been recruited through the recruiting command and trained through the training command. A Marine is one from cradle to grave.” For more information, visit www. M4L.usmc.mil or call 866-645-8762.

Beaufort honors local legend

The fall Beaufort Social Season got off to a big start this past weekend with four charity events in three days, which concluded with a congratulations dinner at Breakwater Restaurant for sports legend Joe Frazier on Monday after he received his Order of the Palmetto. The Order of the Palmetto is the highest civilian award bestowed by the State of South Carolina. Joe, a native of Beaufort, has been living in Philadelphia and returned to his hometown to receive the The Order of Palmetto award from Governor Mark Sanford in a moving ceremony earlier at Waterfront Park. Afterwards, John Trask III organized a wonderful dinner reception and congratulations for the boxing great at Breakwater, where Chef Gary Lang and Chef Beth Shaw prepared a special ‘Joe Frazier Dinner Menu’ honoring him and his friends. Also present among the many well wishers were Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes, Heisman Trophy winner George Rodgers, and renowned Madison Square Garden photographer George Kalinsky. Kalinsky photographed the very famous 1971 ‘Fight of the Century’ at Madison Square Garden which pitted undefeated Joe Frazier (26-0, 23 KOs) against the undefeated Heavyweight title holder Muhammad Ali (31-0, 25 KOs). Frazier defeated Ali that night in a grueling 15 round match and became the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. The only other time that Ali was defeated for the Heavyweight Champion title was by Larry Holmes, also present at the dinner that night. Congratulations to Joe Frazier for this fine honor.   On the previous Thursday, Sept. 23, the weekend got started with a fundraiser for new gym equipment for the Boys & Girls Club hosted by Jered and Deanna Kraszewski, decorated by Katie Huebel. Jered, owner of Get Fit on Lady’s Island, gave an impassioned speech about the importance of combating childhood obesity and starting right here in our own backyard with a goal to improve and upgrade the physical fitness equipment at the Boundary Street Boys & Girls Club facility; and, he’s establishing, along with his committee, the nonprofit Fit Fund to do so. Their key fundraising event to raise money for the much-needed new equipment will be the ‘Shindig at the Shack’ at Coosaw on Nov. 6. The event will feature a live band, food, beer and wine. Tickets are $40. If you would like to donate or get involved in the upcoming fundraising ‘Shindig,’ contact Jered at 843-524-2FIT. On Friday, Sept. 24, Project Runway at the UCSB Performing Arts Center was held to benefit future children’s 12

Oh, shoot. Let’s just leave it at bubble, bubble. That means we’re going to talk about bubbles, or more specifically, a bubbly wine. Of course, it also means that typing “bubble, bubble” several times quickly is as hard as saying it several times quickly. You have no idea how many times I had to backspace and correct it just now. More than I’ll ever really admit for sure, because it’s before 9 a.m. and I am not enjoying a glass. What’s wrong with this picture? I thought I got to sip a glass or more while I typed. Oh, shoot. Wrong again. Anyhow, I attended another trade show this past weekend. Another walk around in a large room, wandering from table to table, looking for new and interesting wines. (Several walks around actually — have to do a good job, you know.) And good ones of course. For sure there were lots of expensive cabernets. All good, but they should be at those high prices. And lots of interesting wines — some we’ll get and some we won’t. Some right away and some later for the holidays or whenever they’ll fit in. Just so you know, the multiple passes around the room accomplish a lot when you do them right. Each circuit is with a different person or group. That way I get varied responses to the same wines, and the wines I think are worth getting into

Because of the richness of the soil and the warmth of the sun, this wine’s flavors lean toward peach and apricot. Big ripe peaches and apricots. And hints of flowers like roses and honeysuckle. The great thing about a good Clairette de Die is the textures. Full of bubbles because it is made, legally, with the second fermentation in the bottle. (That’s what makes the bubbles, lots of tiny ones!) And a creaminess that makes the wine, even with its bubbles, feel voluptuous on your tongue. Bubbles and voluptuous all at once?

Tailgating 101 By Wendy Pollitzer

nfortunately, the Lunch Bunch had too many conflicting schedules to get together for our weekly midday meal. I guess it’s that time of year when busy moms and dads race around town, chauffeuring kids to dance, soccer and karate. Where does the time go on any given day? We’ve let ourselves as a society spend too much time running errands and not enough enjoying the finer things in life ... like tailgating! We’re in the midst of one of my favorite times of year: Football season. And there’s no better way to spend with family and friends than hanging out behind the tailgate of your truck anticipating the big game or settled in the comfort of your own air-conditioned home, watching TV and grazing an appetizer-filled table all day! These recipes will satisfy your cravings on a fun-filled day of football. Other than the food, the only other prerequisite for tailgating is relaxation and, well, maybe some booze. Hey, we are in the South! For more recipes from the Food Network, visit www.yourislandnews.com.

business Builder now EPA certified Bernie Kole, President of Kole Construction, Inc. recently completed his course of study at Greenville Technical College to receive certification as a renovator from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Kole Construction, Inc. has also been certified by the EPA. This certification is required by the new federal law that took effect on April 27. All builders involved in any renovation of a residential building built before 1978 must now be EPA certified or hire an EPA-certified renovator to supervise such renovations. The purpose of this new law is to insure the containment and safe disposal of any lead-based paint or other lead bearing materials that may be in the house under renovation. Failure of the

homeowner or contractor to hire an EPA-certified renovator, when required by this new law, carries a fine starting at $37,500 and can incur a jail sentence of two years in federal prison. This penalty applies to the homeowner and the contractor. Bernie Kole has been a licensed builder and general contractor in Beaufort since 1994. He has been involved in community activities and nonprofit organizations including terms as President or Chairman of the Board of LIBPA, the Greater Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Homebuilders Association of the Lowcountry, Contact Kole at (843) 252-7109 or b.kole01@comcast.net

Pets

Building a healthy hound By Tracie Korol

Where do you start? Most holistic veterinarians say the most important part of a canine health-promotion plan is improved diet (me, too). Most trainers will say it’s increased exercise (me, too). Certainly, these two cornerstones of health are equally important and both need to happen ASAP. Unless your dog is in peak health and eating a homeprepared diet of clean and fresh foods, you can improve his diet. If you already feed a high-quality commercial product and your dog still has digestive issues or signs of food sensitivity — deadly farts, wet, messy backyard gifts, or chronic ear goo, for instance, you need to change his food. If you feed a high-quality kibble, move laterally within the same line or to another brand of the same quality. If you feed a low-quality food of the grocery store variety, then move up a grade. Foods that contain greater amounts of high-quality proteins and fats and include a complete panel of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids provide more of the nutrients beneficial to our fourlegged friends. An improved diet can make the world of difference to the attitude and responsiveness of a dog that suffers from chronically upset stomach or annoying ear itch. Very few of our pets receive adequate opportunities to exercise as much as their wild ancestors did — or even their more recent ancestors did just a few decades ago. Exercise releases endorphins, making the dog feel better. It strengthens soft tissues and bones, burns calories and improves the circulation of the lymph system, helping to move waste products out of the tissues. Exercise helps dogs feel tired, my personal favorite side effect. Exercise is a tremendous boon to dogs that are chronically anxious, hyperactive or aggressive. Wrack your brain and use your imagination to think of activities and safe locations to thoroughly work your dog. Ask friends and neighbors if they know of any fenced, open areas

While some dogs are content to sleep 18 hours a day, five to six days a week, for a social, active dog it’s like solitary confinement in a hostile prison setting. No wonder these dogs bark incessantly. where you can take your dog for intense off-leash runs. When I lived in urban, downtown Ohio, I would take my thendog, Dave, to a lighted tennis court at night for a hard game of “chase me.” Even senior pets benefit from activity geared to their level of ability. A quick walk to and the thrill of scaring off the ducks at the near-by pond invigorate my current exquisite elder-boarder. I know it makes him feel like he’s still “got it.” Try to reduce the number of toxins in your dog’s environment. If you made a list of all the chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, cleaning agents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials, paints and fabrics your dog is exposed to, you’d be stunned, and that doesn’t even include the pesticides applied directly to his skin. Use natural agents to clean your home, open the windows, keep your yard organic and rinse your dog’s paws after he moseys on public lawns that are often liberally soaked with garden chemicals. Reduce the stress in your dog’s life. Sure, all he does is lie around a quiet house all day. How stressful can that

be? But look at it from your dog’s perspective: canines are pack animals, hard-wired to live in complex social groups. They are wired for stimulating environments where they have to solve problems, exercise, and use their wits to hunt and locate food daily. While some dogs are content to sleep 18 hours a day, five to six days a week, for a social, active dog it’s like solitary confinement in a hostile prison setting. No wonder these dogs bark incessantly or mangle the blinds. If your dog is moderately pleased to see you at the end of the day and your house is intact, everyone is probably all right. However, if your dog goes berserk when you’re not home, or if he chews on the banisters, or goes into hyperactive overdrive when you come home — and this continues for 10-15 minutes — he would benefit from more opportunities to get out and de-stress. Finally, medical surveillance, treatment, prevention and oversight are important pieces of the holistic health care program. Ideally, every dog owner should establish relationships with both a holistic practitioner and a vet who has all the latest diagnostic bells and whistles, just in case. Having a team of both types of caregivers who respect and work well together best serves your Best Friend. If you don’t regard your dog as perfectly healthy, mentally and physically, please consider addressing each of these areas to the extent of your abilities. You may not be able to provide the ideal solution in each aspect, but every small improvement guarantees a longer, happier life together.

most handlers do, he or she does not have to run the course, even the disabled can participate.
