On March 29, members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigations Section arrested Brian Dewayne Montgomery for unlawfully carrying a handgun and possession of marijuana and cocaine. That Friday, investigators initiated a traffic stop on a 2008 Nissan Altima in the area of Laurel Bay Road in Beaufort. During contact with the Brian driver, investigators Montgomery observed a strong odor of suspected marijuana coming from the vehicle.

Zero Tolerance for Litter Campaign April marks the start of Beaufort County’s participation in the annual statewide Zero Tolerance for Litter campaign. This month-long event is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and a host of state and local agencies, aimed at creating public awareness of the effects of littering in South Carolina. This year’s initiative will kick off with a media event to be held at the Broad River Boat Landing at 11 a.m. on April 16. During this event, a proclamation will be issued by Beaufort County Council and representatives from participating agencies will assemble to publicly recognize the many dedicated volunteers who work throughout the year to keep Beaufort County beautiful. Throughout the month, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Environmental Crime Unit will be increasing patrols and activities focused on litter reduction. Investigators will be targeting litter offenders, from those tossing garbage out the window of their vehicle, to commercial vehicles transporting uncovered loads. Citations for litter-

related violations can and will be issued, with fines ranging from $200 to more than $1,000. Deputies will be present at several of the county’s drop-off centers, ensuring that refuse is properly transported and disposed of. And in addition to enforcement measures, Environmental Crime Unit investigators will provide educational opportunities through school presentations and public service announcements. Many community groups have already pledged participation by scheduling roadside clean-ups throughout the county. Citizens wishing to get involved in these collection efforts can contact any of the participating agencies: the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, the South Carolina Litter Control Association, Keep South Carolina Beautiful, Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, Palmetto Pride, and the Beaufort County Public Works Department and Solid Waste and Recycling Section. For more information regarding SC litter laws, visit: http://www. sclittercontrol.org/litterlaws.html.

County Council votes to buy, preserve land At its April 8 meeting, Beaufort County Council authorized the purchase and acquisition of two properties through its Rural and Critical Lands Preservation Program. The first property is known as Pinckney Point and is located in southern Beaufort County on both the Okatie and Colleton Rivers. The land consists of 229 acres of undeveloped river frontage, including more than 70 acres of maritime forest, a hammock island and all associated marshland. This land was originally going to be developed with 70 homes, each with its own septic system, causing possible further degradation of the Colleton and Okatie rivers through damage from stormwater runoff. Because of this, the county felt it was environmentally important to buy and preserve the land from future development.

“Pinckney Point could be the crown jewel of the Okatie/Colleton, connecting all protected properties to date, preserving a geographically unique landscape, and offering a central location from which to operate a regional conservation park complex. A true eco-tourism attraction,” said Open Lands Trust Executive Director, Patty Kennedy. Pinckney Point will be acquired for $6.95M. The second property voted on last Monday was a small parcel located in the Town of Port Royal at 601 Old Fort Road. The less than 1 acre of land is being acquired to provide better access to the Fort Frederick boat landing owned by the SC Department of Natural Resources, and the historic Fort Frederick site acquired by the Rural and Critical Lands Program in 2005. The purchase price of the property is $75,000.

real estate

Rage, sorrow and thanks Will and Deena McCullough of Lowcountry Real Estate can be reached directly at 843-4418286 or via email at RealEstate@ BeaufortSC.net.

By Will McCullough

“Will, your Dad is dead.” It was 1983 and I was 13 years old when I first heard those words. My Dad, a seventh grade history teacher, never smoked, never drank, and was a lifelong athlete. He died of a sudden heart attack while turkey hunting one morning before school. My Dad was only 43 years old and, up until this point, my life had been one of innocent, Norman Rockwell bliss. However, everything changed after my father died. Without going into too much detail, I will simply just say that a sad rage consistently festered inside me as I navigated through my teen years while attempting to deal with his loss. I left my hometown in Northwest Pennsylvania for the U.S. Marine Corps the day after I graduated high school and, shortly thereafter, my Mom (also a teacher) passed away from Leukemia. I was told later that my Mom’s last words were “Make it stop, make it stop. It hurts, it hurts.” Whatever barriers that remained against my constant internal fury and sorrow collapsed. I do not share all of the above for sympathy. I fully understand and respect the fact that everyone has their own life story and that those individual stories very likely contain chapters of sadness as well. I’m not seeking attention and I certainly take no pleasure in publicly sharing private emotional matters. I share the above this week, as opposed to my normal real estate related column, because I needed to say “Thank you” to Beaufort, both the place and the people, at this specific time. I came to Beaufort in 1993 to serve as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island. It was the first place I’d been stationed where I didn’t feel that the Marines were viewed

by the local populace as fiscal cattle to be fed upon. As opposed to being treated like “walking camouflage dollar signs,” Beaufort seemed to just accept us as members of the community. To make a long story short, I personally ended up finding happiness in Beaufort and, when I received orders to leave the area, I ended up choosing to leave the USMC instead of the Lowcountry. It’s been 20 years now but I needed to finally publicly thank you Beaufort. I needed to thank you for blue skies and warm sunny days. I needed to thank you for strangers who wave and for the close friends we’ve come to know over the years. I needed to thank you for nights spent at the Water Festival and days spent on the river. I needed to thank you for the businesses that demonstrate that they value their patrons. I needed to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to support my family. I needed to thank you for waving me through on the street as opposed to cutting me off and for smiling as opposed to glaring. I needed to thank you for Hunting Island and, while I’m at it, for the Waterfront Park. I also really needed to thank you for oyster roasts. I could go on but, in short, I wanted to thank you Beaufort for giving me peace. As I myself will be celebrating my 43rd birthday by the time you read this, I think it’s the best present a guy like me could have received.

‘Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ By Danette Vernon

I once rented a movie that opened with flickering images and the voiceover of a narrator whose eyes I peered through, watching only what he could see, listening to only what he could hear. I sat alone in my living room, voyeur to his thoughts, while all others experienced him in near silence. He had awoken from a coma to his right eye being sewn shut, and the dawning realization that though he could answer all questions put to him, his name, where he lived, the name of his children ... no one could hear him. Our protagonist, Jean-Dominique Bauby, was the editor of Elle Magazine in France, until at 43 he was struck with a massive stoke that would have left him dead in decades past, but with modern medicine — the “agony was prolonged.” Jean-do, as his friends call him, finds himself living in the imagined heaviness and isolation of a “diving bell” at a convalescent hospital by the sea, unable to speak or move (locked-in syndrome), with the exception of his left eye. An alphabet system is devised with the letters most frequently used at the beginning of the alphabet, rather than the traditional order. When the alphabet is read to him, he blinks to let

you know you have reached the desired letter until words and then sentences are formed. Under contract for a book prior to the stroke, Jean-do eventually begins the arduous process of “travel notes” from this seaside prison. On one of his excursions outside of the walls of the hospital, he discovers a view of the local lighthouse. “Rigid and mute,” he places himself, “... under the protection of this brotherly symbol, guardian not just of sailors but of the sick — those castaways on the shores of loneliness.” Captive, he is still free to float about like a butterfly. “There is so much to do!” he exclaims, noting that “on any given day he can set off for Tierra del Fuego or for King Midas’s court.” He considers that

two things that never lie Two things never lie: your checkbook and your calendar. Every time we make a choice about how we spend our time and money we are making choices that reflect something about what we value. Making tough and often emotional choices lies at the heart of planning for a secure financial future. One of the biggest mistakes we make as we approach planning for the future is failing to realize how often we make decisions that do not match what we say is really important to us. We often say that time with family is the most important thing, but does the way we spend our time reflect that? Does the way we spend or save money reflect what we say

we value? I heard somewhere that the average American family spends more time planning a trip to Disneyworld than they spend thinking about and planning for their financial future. From experience, I’m not sure that’s far off. So one of the very best things we can do to make a difference in our financial lives is simply to THINK ABOUT IT, and then be radically self aware about what our calendars and checkbooks say about our priorities. If we don’t like what we see, we can slowly start to make changes and hopefully repeating that process will give us a great chance at ending up at the right place.

Give us a call today. Lets get a check up to see if you are going where you want to go. Owen K Hand CFP®

while he used to be a “master at recycling leftovers,” in today he is “cultivating the art of simmering memories ... the sour smell of a New York bar, the odor of poverty in a Rangoon market, little bits of the world.” He reveals that at times he “derives a guilty pleasure from his total lapse into infancy,” on other days, tears roll. As memories surge past the mind’s eye, Jean-do realizes that he is much “like the sailor who watches as the home shore gradually disappears,” as he too is watching his past recede. We listen in as he confides that while “his old life still burns within ... more and more of it is reduced to the ashes of memory.” On a different day and in a different mood, he revels in the familiarity of being dressed in his old clothes, “a symbol of continuing life. And proof that I still want to be myself. If I must drool, I may as well drool on cashmere.” I have never watched the movie adaptation of “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” and failed to be impacted— with inspiration and with profound guilt. Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book with the use of one eye. In high contrast, I do so little with my two eyes, my two arms, my two legs. And you? What will you accomplish with all that you have?

ABOUT TEETH Dr. Kat says...we see the benefit of fluoride everyday in the reduction of decay in children, but on the other hand, fluorosis (white spots in the enamel) is becoming much more prevalent in children. The federal government is studying a proposal to reduce the amount of fluoride in our drinking water, which should help reduce the amount of fluorosis we are seeing. In the meantime, make sure your child is using the “smear” technique of putting toothpaste on the brush. Smearing a small dab on the brush should be less than the “pea-size” amount previously recommended. Also, you should be monitoring the 2-7 year olds (the most important ages for enamel development of permanent teeth), in making sure they are spitting the toothpaste out rather than ingesting it. A child less than 2 should be using water only or fluoride-free training toothpaste.

Unmasking the source of your pain Pain, dizziness and headaches could all be caused by your bite By Dr. Stephen Durham

Of all the ways that people feel better when they visit our practice, this is certainly one that gives our team the greatest satisfaction. Patients walk out a different person. Well, the same person but a lot happier. It is estimated that 25% to 30% of people suffer from a misalignment of the jaw and the muscles around it called TMD - temporomandibular disorder. Possibly two or three times that many people have the disorder and don’t know it yet. That’s because TMD is “the great pretender.” It shows up as neck aches, sleep disorders, poor posture, numbness in the shoulders and down the arms, dizziness, a ringing in the ears, clicking or grating in the jaw joints, pain behind the eyes — and headaches, even migraines. In fact, some studies suggest that more than 92% of persistent headaches are caused by TMD. When we get to the bottom of that cause, people come to life with less pain, more energy, a sunnier disposition and even a better appearance. Because fixing TMD can restore facial height, relax the features and make smiling something

Dr. Stephen Durham Dr. Durham’s practice is located in Beaufort Town Center on Boundary St. Call 843-379-5400. that just comes more naturally. When people feel better, they look better, and that is what we see when we treat people with TMD. The first step is to calm those jaw muscles, using a technique that measures and relaxes them to their normal, resting length. At that point, we can see your own best bite position with relaxed and healthy muscles. Then that best bite position is captured, using impression materials. From that impression a neuromuscular appliance can be crafted, creating a kind of mouthpiece that fits over your lower teeth and helps your jaw into a healthy position. Using this device as directed, your jaw learns its way back to a healthy position. No longer unbalanced or over-closed, the jaw plays its vital role in a good head-neck relationship. Muscles come

unstrained. Nerve feedback from the head and neck to the brain is calmed. That calms other body systems, too, and the overall effect is less tension and better health. It’s a shame TMD goes undiagnosed so often because the effect is profound. A Nobel Prize winner in brain research said that 90% of the brain’s output is devoted to relating the body to gravity. So misalignment, like TMD, can be a big drain on your outlook, your energy and your brain’s capacity for thinking, operating the body and healing. Working with our patients to see the end of these troubles, and the beginning of a fuller life, is one of the most rewarding experiences here at our practice. A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), Dr. Stephen Durham is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. He is a Fellow of the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Neuromuscular and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Durham practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort.

Hospital offers Freedom from Smoking Program For years, Patty Griswold’s mother had nagged her to quit smoking. “I tried several times using nicotine patches and gum,” said Griswold, who smoked her first cigarette at the age of 21. “The longest I ever went was three months.” A registered nurse, the 65-year-old Beaufort resident was well aware of the health risks associated with smoking. But it wasn’t until her mother died of lung cancer that she found the motivation to break the habit. “A few weeks before my mother passed away, she asked me to quit smoking,” Griswold recalled. “I promised her I would.” Realizing she would need help kicking her pack-a-day addiction, Griswold signed up for the Freedom from Smoking program offered by Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s LifeFit Wellness Services.

Developed by the American Lung Association and considered the “gold standard” in smoking cessation programs, Freedom from Smoking offers participants the best chance of giving up cigarettes for good. Griswold took the class three years ago. She hasn’t smoked since. “I had my last cigarette at 4:30 p.m. May 18, 2010,” Griswold said. “It was a great decision. Food tastes better, it saves me money and I can wear perfume again.” And more importantly, her heart is healthy. Last week, her BMH cardiologist, Dr. Shannon Shook, gave her a clean bill of health. “I was so worried because I have a family history of heart disease and I had abused my body by smoking,” Griswold said. “I know it wouldn’t have been a good checkup if I hadn’t quit smoking.” She attributes her success this time

around to the support she received in the Freedom from Smoking program. “It helped me immensely,” Griswold said. “Having that support made a big difference.” LifeFit will be offering a new session of smoking cessation classes Monday evenings from April 22 through June 3 at Beaufort Memorial Women’s Imaging Center, 989 Ribaut Rd. Classes take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (No class on Memorial Day.) An extra support session is offered May 15 — two days after “quit day” — to help ensure participants don’t break down and light up.

“Smoking is the number one cause of preventable disease,” said Mark Senn, senior director of LifeFit Wellness Services. “Here’s a way to quit the habit and improve your health.” In the first three classes, taught by a certified Freedom from Smoking instructor, participants will examine their own patterns of smoking, learn how to handle triggers and urges and receive training on stress management techniques that can help them get through the quitting process and life after cigarettes. During the eight-class program, they’ll watch several DVDs and receive a Freedom from Smoking workbook, a relaxation CD and various helpful handouts. The cost for the course is $30. Class size is limited, so reservations are required. To register, call 843-522-5570.

We call them MEGA MEN for a reason

Beauty and the book By Takiya Smith

So, Takiya La’Shaune Smith has wrote a book. A book. What, pray tell, could the pages of this book possibly enclose? What further words of encouragement or inspiration could this memoir spark, ignite or seek to find a flicker of hope within? We read her columns weekly, and get the underlining point that beauty goes deeper than just the exterior. We get it! Well, that, my dear friend, is exactly it. I want you to get it! According to Merriam-Webster, beauty is defined as “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit”. Contrary to culture and our popular beliefs, I find it intriguing that the overall connotation of beauty is not described according to outer appearance or visual attractiveness, but as “qualities in a person.” You see, Takiya La’Shaune Smith, as successful as she has been blessed to be, as friendly as most have come to know her, as happy, confident and self-assured as she is, and as beautiful as many have called her, once was not. Takiya La’Shaune Smith grew up in a home filled with disconnect, discord and depression which resulted in tons of lowself esteem, a poor lack of self-image and no value of self-worth at all. Takiya La’Shaune Smith grew up, carrying these traits well into her adulthood and because of lack of direction, anyone in her life to teach and reassure her that she was loved, beautiful, smart and worth it, she succumbed to a lifestyle less desired. Takiya La’Shaune Smith encountered hurt, both physical, mental and emotional from a string of abusive relationships because she thought this was all she ever deserved. Takiya La’Shaune Smith became a single mother by 21, had multiple encounters with the law by 23, drank, smoke and spiraled out of control by 25, was angry, mean and selfish through 27, never thought she was

acceptably attractive until 29, and was homeless and broke by 31. So, you see, Takiya La’Shaune Smith has a story and behind that story is a voice that needs to be heard. It’s the voice of your neighbor, hurting silently inside, but smiling on the outside. It’s the voice of that little girl who sits next to your kid in class, desperately longing to have what she sees you give. It’s the voice of those scantily-clad promiscuous teenage girls, whom you judge instead of encourage, not knowing that they have never been taught to respect themselves better. It’s the voice of your boss, who unjustly scolds you daily, because she is so full of anger due to the abuse she received the night before. It’s the voice of a bully, picking on a child because they are picked on at home, told they are nothing and never will be. It’s even the voice of that abusive man who needs to be freed by finding another way. Please, please, please ... listen to the voice.

Lowcountry Boil on the Bluff By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

Pinckney Retreat and East West Communities hosted a traditional Lowcountry Boil last weekend on the bluff at the historic plantation, located off of Parris Island Gateway on S.C. 280. Pinckney Retreat is still home to the original 1736 marshfront Tabby House and antebellum gardens that have been restored for current residents use and enjoyment in the development. Southern Living custom home builder, Allen Patterson, is now the featured builder on site.

Spring fashion in the Lowcountry is in full bloom By Laura Trask

Spring in the Lowcountry is in full bloom! You can feel a burst of new energy as we shed winter coats, boots, scarves and start to look for a fresh new look to usher us into this glorious season. Every year Friends of Caroline Hospice puts on a fashion show and luncheon that gives the local boutiques an opportunity to share what they are most excited about in the coming spring fashions. In a year where it seems anything goes — from black and whites to technicolor, minimalist cool to maximalist fun — it should be a show that finds something that’s a must-have for

laura’s fashion file everyone! One returning treat in store for this year’s show is our own local-girlturned-designer, Caroline Baker, who will be creating a dress especially for this wonderful event. Caroline, who learned to sew from her grandmother, for whom she named her business (Maude Couture), graduated from New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in Millinery, but has become known for her

custom eco-couture gowns, an interest that grew out of a childhood spent in the Lowcountry and all its natural beauty. Dramatic silhouettes are paired with earth friendly elements creating unique, natural luxury. Designing wedding dresses has become Caroline’s passion and she finds great joy and an enjoyable challenge in “upcycling” vintage gowns! So make sure you come support this wonderful organization celebrating its 10th year of bringing friends, fun and fashion together in a feel good way.

Wedding dress designed by Caroline Baker of Maude Couture, who will be at the Friends of Caroline Hospice Fashion Show on April 24.

“The Fashion Show has grown exponentially since we started a decade

ago. It has become the favorite event of the year for girlfriends to get together and view all of the latest trends,” says Thompson. This year, the fashion show will feature a luncheon catered by Debbi Covington who will also be signing copies of her book, Celebrate Everything! Proceeds will be donated to Friends of Caroline Hospice. Deanna Bowdish will announce the fashions and call the live auction.

Video Ideas has taken the opposite approach by pacing & timing the movie to the score. • The conductor is free to interpret the music at any pace. • The video and/or animation scenes are cued backstage by someone following the score. • The audience sees a movie perfectly timed to the live orchestra performance. The result? An incredible evening's entertainment that accentuates the emotions of the music and stimulates the audience's imagination, increasing their enjoyment in a way a typical classical performance cannot.

The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Starting your children off with the right view of finances is so important these days — especially when debt seems to be a common way of life for so many. We can, however, change the way our own children look at money. Here are some important lessons to teach your children about their money: 1. Money Does Not Grow On Trees. Children do not understand, at least not at first, that there is not an unlimited supply of money at the bank, or on the credit card. Explain to them the process that they can only buy what you have money to pay for. 2. Saying “No” To Some Unnecessary Things. One of the most valuable lessons a child can learn is to willingly choose to say “No” to some purchases — even if they want it. Do not give them money every time they want it — this teaches them that there is a bottomless supply, when there isn’t. 3. It Is Important To Save. Besides saving for something that they really want, which is a good reason in itself, teach children to save for unexpected things. For instance, if they receive a regular allowance, or, are working after school and earning some money on their own, teach them to put aside a regular percentage, say 10% to 15%. 4. Establish A Budget. Once your child is receiving a regular amount of money, you will want to show them how to plan for a wise use of that money. Help them to know how to set money aside for basically three different things: money to spend now, money for special purchases that require savings, and long-term savings. 6. Teach Them About Credit Cards. Credit cards and checking accounts are similar in that they provide ease of purchase, but without the necessity of carrying cash. Your children only see you handing over the plastic, or another piece of paper. But they never see that cash is involved, it is behind the scenes to them. Show them how that you must pay monthly for both and that you should never buy more than what you can afford — except for some larger purchases — because the bills for it will come! 7. Give Regularly To Good Causes. Probably one of the greatest joys that a child can have in the use of their own money is the joy that comes from willingly giving their money to causes greater than themselves. By learning to give some of their money often to causes such as their church, or a charity, they learn that their money can be a blessing to others.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County

TCL Foundation announces new board directors The Technical College of the Lowcountry Foundation has announced that two new Directors have joined its Board. Elizabeth “Liz” Clist and Stephen R. Duvall will begin their terms at the April Board meeting. Mrs. Clist brings over 30 years of board, sales, and marketing experience to the TCL Foundation. Her resume includes Vice President of Marketing for the Naisbitt Group headed by John Naisbitt, author of the classic book “Megatrends.” As an executive with the Hyatt Corporation, Mrs. Clist established the Park Hyatt

Mr. Duvall has 29 years of sales and sales management experience within a broad array of healthcare disciplines including managed care, long term care, pharmacy, and specialty benefit management.

“Our TCL family is very excited that Liz Clist and Steve Duvall have joined the Foundation board,” TCL President Dr. Tom Leitzel said. “Liz is very involved in the community, and Steve has jumped right in to serve as a volunteer in various capacities. I know they will help spread the good word about how effective TCL is in educating students for careers and further college studies.” TCL Foundation Executive Director, Louise Mathews, added, “I am looking forward to working with Liz and Steve to move the foundation forward in its

support for TCL.” Since its founding in 1983, the TCL Foundation has awarded close to $2 million in scholarship funds. In the last academic year, TCL Foundation donors provided funding for 167 scholarship awards that helped talented, deserving individuals achieve their educational goals. In addition to providing scholarship assistance, the foundation establishes private sector support to further enhance the college’s teaching and educational capabilities while supporting TCL’s vision to provide innovative workforce solutions.

The Lady’s Island Middle School Junior Leadership class visited downtown Beaufort for a day of learning about Beaufort’s government and history. The government lesson was delivered by Mayor Keyserling with assistance from Ivette Burgess. The Mayor gave the class an overview on how local government works and how the mayor and the community interact with each other to solve problems and issues. After Mayor Keyserling spoke in the City Council chambers, the class had the opportunity to visit the Beaufort Museum on the bottom floor of City Hall. Mrs. Lang gave a detailed tour about Beaufort’s past. Then the class visited the Beaufort National Cemetery on Boundary Street where Mrs. Pat Simmons talked to the leadership class about how the cemetery began under the direction of Abraham Lincoln in 1863.

Board and a member of the Rotary Club of the Lowcountry. “It’s exciting to see the production’s creativity and energy gaining a wider audience.” This weekend’s Zone 33 Rotary Peace Symposium in Chapel Hill, N.C., will attract Rotarians from South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia. The Beaufort High group performed last month at an Eastern South Carolina Rotary conference in Myrtle Beach, where the students also participated in a question-and-answer session and discussed ways in which the show might serve as a model for statewide Rotary programs. Seven Rotary clubs in Beaufort County contributed to defraying the drama students’ traveling expenses to Chapel Hill, and the school district is covering their transportation costs. Beaufort High Drama Director LaRaine Fess and her students performed their show to sixth-graders across Beaufort County earlier this year. Rotary Club of the Lowcountry members distributed anti-bullying activity books and bookmarkers to students as they left the assemblies, and both contained the school district’s toll-free anti-bullying hotline numbers (843-322-2435 or 866-611-1102) and e-mail address (bcsdbullyinghotline@ beaufort.k12.sc.us).

Beaufort Academy students in PreK through sixth grades are participating in a reading incentive program sponsored by the Savannah Sand Gnats. Pictured above: BA students Katherine Taylor, G Simmons, and Sophia Martin high five Nate the Gnat during his visit to the campus, reminding all of the students to read and reach the goal set by their classroom teachers before April 26 to receive a ticket to the Savannah Sand Gnats baseball game on Friday, May 10.

Lady’s Island Elementary Science fair winners, Brionna Swinton, Addie Warren, Regan Hill, Billy Tate, Dominick Brown , Tray’Von Day and Stephen Holguin smile with their awards. Dominick was the overall winner of the fair. (Not pictured Nash Mills.) “Rotary’s partnership with this performance — and the club’s broader partnership with the school district to help prevent bullying — is what schools and communities should be all about,” said Chief Student Services Officer Gregory McCord. “We continue to receive messages from middle-schoolers throughout the district who talk about how the show has helped to change their attitudes and perceptions, either as an active participant in bullying or as an observer. “At the end of the day, we have students and the community fully engaged in support of a unified message.”

JAN MALINOWSKI

Local banker stays invested in evolution of northern Beaufort County By Anne Christnovich

anking, by most stereotypes, is not the most exciting work in the world. Jan Malinowski, Executive Vice President of Palmetto State Bank, readily laughs at his work’s dry reputation, but also isn’t afraid to opine its importance. “A bank is part of the backbone of any community,” he said. Palmetto State Bank, a family-owned business, established in 1907, primarily deals with small business owners and individual accounts. Malinowski started working there in 1991, when he moved from Miami to Beaufort County with his wife, Liz. Before Miami, Malinowski worked at banks all over Canada, the United States and Europe, including a two-year stint in Zurich, Switzerland. When it came time to decide whether the Malinowskis wanted to raise their children in a big city or a small town, settling down in Beaufort was a no-brainer, Malinowski said. “We realized Miami is a great place for a single person or a married couple without kids or a retired person,” he said. “Liz’s family is from South Carolina ... Coming to a small town from big cities was a change, but a pleasant one.” Their three children — two sons and a daughter — are now ages 23, 21 and 18. Malinowski said working for international banks had its perks but the smaller operation allows for more freedom and less corporate red tape. “Some days I might be putting together a complex loan, others I’m running down someone to fix a leaky roof at one of the branches,” he said. “You have to wear a lot of hats and that’s what makes this fun.” Malinowski wears a lot of hats in other areas, too. He belongs of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Sea Island Rotary Club and a statewide group called the Certified Development Corporation.

Executive Vice President of Palmetto State Bank Jan Malinowski.

It’s not hard to see that all those hats have a connection to development — in both a physical and social sense — for the northern parts of Beaufort County. It’s a topic Malinowski has invested a lot of time and thought. He said he hopes to be appointed to a soon-tobe-formed chamber of commerce subcommittee dedicated to aiding Mayor Bill Keyserling and the Lowcountry Economic Alliance in attracting new businesses to the area. The alliance — a group established between counties — has state tax money marked specifically for attracting new companies. Malinowski said the alliance would bring prospective clients to the area, and the chamber subcommittee would help show them what Beaufort has to offer. “The idea is that if someone does come into town, we can readily answer their questions,” he said, adding the chance to impress clients could also bring business to local caterers and

entertainment businesses. The area’s delicate ecological balance can make the argument for more development a contentious one, but Malinowski said taking care of the area’s low-income population and expanding the tax base shouldn’t be neglected. “What’s too much (development)?” he said. “The people who say (development) is too much, I say what’s the limit to too much poverty?” “We’re not going to get smoke stacks here, but we could certainly use more job creators,” he said. “What are the contingency plans for if the Air Base closes? ... We have to start taking a look for opportunities while we have the luxury of time and the resources to do so.” The confidence for Beaufort’s future evolution comes from his experience in the area so far: Malinowski said the last 20 years of growth Beaufort County has been nothing less than “remarkable.” “When my wife and I got her in ’91, for example, Beaufort Memorial Hospital was an older 1950s-style operation,” he said. “We’ve seen it grow from a handful of doctors to a medical staff of close to 200 ... We have well-respected specialists in many areas.” As a member of the bank, he’s also seen the first-hand effects of the economic downturn, but said he sees recovery happening. Malinowski’s youngest daughter is preparing to graduate high school this May, which will leave the house to Jan and Liz. Although the number of mouths to feed with be different, Malinowski said he’ll likely continue to do what he’s doing for the foreseeable future. The formation of the chamber subcommittee will likely take place in 30 to 60 days, Malinowski said, and there’s still plenty of people who need loans or financial help from his bank. “The bank has been successful over the years because we try to be consistent and stable,” he said. “We can’t be all things to all people ... But a good institution is made up of its people, and ours care immensely about their customers.”

Morality and Mark Sanford By Jay Bender

In 1840 the State of South Carolina stole 144,000 acres of land that had been reserved to the Catawba Indian Tribe by the British Crown in 1760. Litigation in 1980 resulted in a settlement among the state, the tribe and the federal government nearly 20 years later. As a part of that settlement, the tribe gave up the right to have casino gambling under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in exchange for the right to have two high stakes bingo operations in the state. The state’s chief negotiator, Crawford Clarkson, then head of the State Tax Commission, characterized the tribe’s bingo as “the best game in the state” with the dual purpose of providing a stream of income to sustain the tribe economically and competition to force shady mock charity bingo operators out of business. The plan worked to the benefit of the tribe and the state initially, but then the General Assembly passed legislation to improve the competitive position of charity bingo halls. More devastating to the tribe’s bingo revenue was the state becoming a gaming competitor with the lottery. Once the lottery was in place, tribal bingo revenue diminished to the point that it was no longer feasible to operate a bingo hall. Rep. John Spratt and Sen. Fritz Hollings worked with tribal and political leaders in Orangeburg County and

the Town of Santee to devise a plan to relocate the tribe’s bingo hall in Rock Hill to an unused shopping near the intersection of I-26 and I-95. This new bingo hall would feature electronic bingo and would resemble a casino in its design. The hall would not, however, be a casino and would not offer any games but bingo. The advantage of the electronic bingo compared to church basement bingo was that it could be linked to other electronic bingo halls on other Indian reservations increasing the size of pots players could win. A parallel can be seen in the multistate lottery games. More players equal bigger prizes. The tribe’s legislation had the support or acquiescence of all members of the South Carolina delegation in Washington. The bill was in the Senate Commerce Committee and the chances of passage looked good. The Orangeburg County Council, the Clarendon County Council and the Santee Town Council all backed the proposal. An analysis of the project by a University of South Carolina economist concluded that the economic impact of the bingo hall and related tourism activities generated by it would be comparable in that part of the state to the impact of BMW in the Upstate. Hundreds of people would be employed in the bingo operation and hundreds more in businesses trading on increased tourist traffic as Santee became a destination and

not just a gas stop along I-95. Mark Sanford was governor, but he couldn’t stop the legislation within the South Carolina delegation so he called on a friend from his days in Congress, now a member of the Senate, to put a “hold” on the bill to keep it from being considered. Mark Sanford told representatives of the tribe that he was opposed to the bingo hall on moral grounds. The senator Mark Sanford called on to kill the bill was John Ensign of Nevada. Consider the morality of Sanford and Ensign working to deny the tribe and the people of the Santee area a strong economic development opportunity. Sanford’s“stopper” had an extra-marital affair with the wife of a staff member. Ensign’s family, owners of one of the largest casino operations in the world, paid the staff member thousands of dollars to forgive the sins of John Ensign. Mark Sanford spent state money to divert an economic development trip to Argentina so he could rendezvous in Buenos Aires with his paramour. Later, Sanford had his staff tell the world he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, when he was in fact thousands of miles away committing adultery. Mark Sanford has no geographic or moral compass, but may find his way back to Washington where he can posture and obstruct with no regard for the lives of the people he damaged with his phony antigambling morality.

letter to the editor Walterboro Republican group endorses Sanford

Congratulations to former SC Governor Mark Sanford for a decisive win in the SC First Congressional District runoff election. Many of us Republican voters are elated with the former governor’s smooth election campaign success in the elegant First District. Some of us Republican voters are deeply respectful of Sanford’s stellar record of resistance to hardened tax money addicts, to tax ‘n eat government, and to those who are eager to gnaw on the tax-lump. Many of us Republican voters are deeply respectful of Sanford’s iconic political career and his undeniable valuable trove of political skill and political acumen. Mark Sanford has the wealth of political experience that we desperately need to represent us in Congress and the depth of conviction to the ideal of limited government that we desperately need in Washington. The hyper-partisan, purist Republican, proeconomic development, Urban Progress Super PAC, rolling out of the cool little City of Walterboro, SC, in Colleton County, enthusiastically endorses Mark Sanford for SC-1 Congress. Please vote Mark Sanford on May 7. Thank you. Joseph A. Murray (Black Republican) President, Urban Progress Super PAC, Walterboro, SC

Silent films come to USCB ... with live music By Christine A. Raskind

The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra presents “Hollywood Extravaganza: Film Score in Reverse” on Thursday, April 18, and a Sunday, April 21 at the USCB Center For The Arts in Beaufort. This unique program will feature scenes from “silent” films such as “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” “Faust,” “The General” and “Old Town” projected on the big screen. The surprise — it won’t be silent! Amidst the darkness on stage will be the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra live. This concept is the opposite of what usually happens when viewers go to the theater to see a movie. In that case, a sound design person has adapted the music to the scenes that will appear on the screen. With “Film Score In Reverse,” a computerized program coordinates scenes from movies while the orchestra plays. The conductor is free to interpret the music as he wishes. This marks the first time this special technique has been offered to audiences in the Lowcountry. Beaufort Symphony Orchestra’s Maestro Frederick Devyatkin will be on the podium as usual. During the performance of “Flicker, A

It will be a unique opportunity to recall celebrated performances by Lon Chaney, John Barrymore, Buster Keaton, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, and Charlie Chaplin in their timeless silent film roles. Among the film clips represented are “Phantom of the Opera,” “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” the

1923 “Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and “The Tramp.” The music of Mussorgsky, Saint-Saens, Grieg, Sibelius, and Stravinsky are among the composers represented. Selections include “Night on Bald Mountain,”“Danse Macabre,” “Peer Gynt,” “Finlandia” and “The Firebird.” These pieces are among the most recognizable and well-loved in musical repertoire today. The orchestra invites you to come see

and hear why this concert will offer an extremely special and different experience. The musicians are grateful for the community’s support as they continue to grow their audiences and keep the music live here in Beaufort. Some have suggested they are among the best small orchestras in the country, and their patrons heartily agree. The Beaufort Symphony will end its season with“Side By Side,” another one-ofa-kind concert, on Sunday afternoon, May 19. The orchestra is proud to showcase the combined talents of adult and youth musicians at Beaufort High School Performing Arts Auditorium. This will result in a more than 85 piece orchestra, as they feature the growing musicianship of young people sitting alongside the adults. Tickets and information for “Side By Side” must be purchased separately and are now available at www.beaufortorchestra.org. This special concert is offered at a special rate of $20 per ticket.

Plant Project grows on Spring Island The Spring Island Trust Native Plant Project, established in 2009, has marked its fifth anniversary of serving both Spring Island members and the Lowcountry community. The Native Plant Project was conceived when founding members Carolyn Dunlap and Ann Baruch sought to rescue rare native plants from construction sites and incorporate them into the island’s landscape. It didn’t take long to realize that the promotion of native plant gardening was in concert with the Spring Island Trust philosophy and that the community could develop a sustainable enterprise that would be beneficial to the landscape and all the creatures that call this area home.

Spring and fall plant sales are held at Mobley Oaks baseball field and are attended by Spring Island members and off-islanders alike. In addition, an early spring sale offers trillium, atamasco lily and bloodroot. Proceeds from all sales directly benefit the Spring Island Trust, whose mission is to insure the preservation and protection of the island’s environment and cultural history. Although occasional construction digs still occur, most of the plants offered by the Native Plant Project are grown from seed, harvested as volunteers or obtained through division of or cuttings from mature plants. A few notable facts: • Since 2009, more than 11,000

native plants have been returned to the landscape. • Karl Ohlandt (staff Landscape Ecologist) manages a database with detailed cultivation information and images of over 100 species of native plants. • More than 70 Spring Island members serve as volunteers. • An on-island nursery holds up to 6,000 plants, representing over 100 native species. • For more information, visit www. springislandtrust.org and click on the Native Plant Project tab. • The Spring Native Plant Sale will be held Saturday, April 13 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Walker Landing Ball Field.

TIPS TO HAVE THE CLEANEST SPRING EVER Walls and Ceilings: You may go over your walls with a dry mop or microfiber duster occasionally, but when was the last time you gave them a thorough, cornerto-corner clean? A vacuum attachment is great for this. In the kitchen, you can combat any surface buildup with vinegar or a solvent-free degreaser (as always, do a spot-test first). Window Treatments: You’d be surprised how many curtains and draperies are machine-washable…and how many could use a good washing! As long as the label says it’s okay, go for it. Otherwise, make a spring tradition of sending them, and fabric shades, to the dry cleaner. Wipe down blinds with a warm, damp cloth with a bit of mild dish soap. Upholstered Furniture: Take any removable cushions outside and gently beat them to remove dust (this would be a good time to beat any throw rugs, too). Review care labels and treat any stains accordingly before replacing. Meanwhile, use your vacuum attachment to go over the entire piece of furniture and deep inside the crevices. Waxing: Now that you can open the windows to air out the fumes, why not do some waxing? Both wood and non-wood floors have surface-specific polishes designed to help them regain their luster, and wood furniture shines up beautifully with a paste wax and some buffing.

was Director of Communications and Marketing for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee. Ms. Heyduck is a marketing and communications professional with a Master’s degree in Speech Communication (with a specialty in public relations and organizational communication) from Eastern Illinois University.

She moved to the Lowcountry in March 2012, with her husband, Chris Protz, who is Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry. Board, staff, volunteers and supporters welcome Ms. Heyduck to the LVL community knowing she will be a passionate and untiring advocate for adult literacy throughout the Lowcountry.

SUSHI SAKANA

Even though there were only three of us at Lunch Bunch, we were hungry and managed to eat almost all of the amazing food that was presented to us by the lovely owner, Monica. We started with the new crab and vegetable tempura, which was light and had a good texture. Then we tried the Diablo roll made with crab, masago and special sauce and baked. Buck really liked the spicy kick of this roll. As a treat, Monica prepared an authentic Korean dish called Bi Bim Bab with beef, shredded vegetables, spinach, radish, mushrooms and topped with a fried egg and served over rice in Clockwise from above: Spicy salmon tempura roll; Lowcountry Roll; the friendly and a hot rock pot.

All chiantis are not created equal

The Chianti this week is described as a Chianti re-imagined, a modern interpretation of a classic. It is Melini Chianti Riserva from a Tuscan winery founded in 1705 by Adolpho Labourel Melini. It is one of Chianti’s oldest and most historic wineries that owns more than 1,200 acres of grapes.

By Celia Strong

Chianti is probably one of the best known and most consumed of Italian red wines. Ten years ago, I could probably have said of all Italian wines, but Pinot Grigio way overshadows it. But, today, we are on Chianti and we have a lots of fun things to talk about, so let’s get to it! Chianti, in all its various levels, comes from the Italian wine region of Tuscany. The region is about 8,900 square acres and is located on the west coast of Italy, just north of Rome. Chianti is a province in Tuscany, first defined as a wine area in 1716. There were three villages (Gaiole, Castellina and Radda) that became Provincia del Chianti. In 1932, the Chianti area was redrawn and divided into seven sub-zones (Classico, Colli Arentini, Colli Fiorentini, Colline Pisane, Colli Senesi, Montalbono, and Rùfina). Today, the majority of Chiantis are either Chianti DOCG or Chianti Classico DOCG. These two together are the largest volume produced of all Italian wines. Red or white. (We have talked about the legal levels of Italian wines, DOCG is the highest and regulates origins, grape varieties, some techniques of growing and wine making, and more sometimes.) The earliest record of Chianti wine goes back to the 13th century. Actually, a record from 1398 mentions a white Chianti wine. In 1716, Cosimo III de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, issued an edict defining the Chianti area. This delineation lasted until 1932, when the Italian government expanded it a bit and, then in 1967, another expansion that is still current. By the 18th century, Chianti was widely known as a red wine. These wines, though, were different than the Chiantis we know today. Grape varieties were varied and not consistent. An Italian statesman, Bettino Ricasoli, developed the modern “recipe” for Chianti. This is when it became a Sangiovese based wine — 70 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent Canaiolo, 10 percent Malvasia, later to include Trebbiano also, and 5 percent other local red varieties. In 1967, the DOC laws that govern Italian wine used Ricasoli’s basic blend of Sangiovese with 10 to 30 percent Malvasia and Trebbiano. (Another red wine with

white grapes in it.) The late 19th century, for Tuscany and Italy in general, was a period of economic and political difficulties, and the time when phylloxera invaded their vineyards also. Talk about troubles. During the 1970’s, producers started to reduce the amount of white grapes that they used in Chianti, and, in 1995, it became legal to make Chianti with 100 percent Sangiovese. More trouble came in the form of a popular consumer trend toward cheap, easy-drinking wines. It did help revive Chianti vineyards, but left the reputation of Chianti DOCG somewhat less than wonderful. By the end of the 20th century, a large number of wine drinkers thought of Chianti as the light, basically mediocre red wine that came in short, fatter bottles, all covered with straw. (These bottles were rounded on the bottom, and the straw was used to help them stand upright. Really, who wants a round-bottom bottle rolling around on the dinner table? These bottles, with their straw covers, were called “fiascos.” But they made it possible for Chianti to be exported.) Chiantis are sometimes called the “Bordeaux of Italy,” due in part to the flexibility of their “recipe.” Lighter style Chianti wines have more white grapes in them, and heavier, richer ones have more red varieties, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Even though only 15 percent maximum of Cabernet is allowed, its flavors and textures tend to dominate the Chiantis it is in. Basic Chianti is characterized by medium acidity and medium tannins. This makes it very food friendly with Italian cuisine — red/tomato sauces and beef, lamb and game. It has juicy fruit notes with cherry, plum, and raspberries. These wines are best at 3 to 5 years old. Chiantis that are aged 38 months can be labeled “riserva.” (Regular aging is only four to seven

“Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service.”

months.) Another fun and interesting part of the Chianti story is the black rooster (“gallo nero”) that appears on some bottles. This was chosen as a symbol, for early producers of Chianti Classico only, before all the wine laws were codified. Some bottles still have this rooster on them because these wineries have been around long enough to have been members of this consortium. Really, though, the Italian DOC wine laws protect us from buying fake Chiantis. All Chianti wines are DOCG level, the highest in Italy. Not all are from a subzone and not all are “riserva.” “Riserva” refers to the amount of time that the wine is aged, before being released for sale. Our Chianti this week is described by its producer as a Chianti re-imagined. A modern interpretation of a classic. It is Melini Chianti Riserva. Melini is a Tuscan winery founded in 1705 by Adolpho Labourel Melini. It is one of Chianti’s oldest and most historic that owns more than 1,200 acres, both Chianti and Chianti Classico. Throughout its history, the winery has always embraced innovations to help improve the quality of their wines. Like when Adolpho started pasteurizing his

wines 30 years before Louis Pasteur wrote about it. Really. Melini wines are considered to be the essence of Tuscany, an international, fruit-forward style. The grapes for our wine, 85 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent others, are sourced from select vineyards. Selected for their soil, climate and sun exposure. The soil is loose, gravelly, made up of schist and limestone. The vines are thickly planted. After harvest, the grapes are cold macerated on their skins for three to four days, then fermented, cold, in stainless steel. (Cooler fermenting temperatures augment the fruit flavors in a wine.) The wines are aged in French oak casks for 18 months, and in their bottles for three to six months more. The current vintage is 2009. This wine is bright ruby colored with aromas of raspberry, blackberry and a touch of violets — often a subtlety in good Chiantis. The flavors are medium bodied with soft, jammy fruit flavors and a baking spice undertone. A mild acidity makes for a perfect finish on this wine. Just so you know, this is the first, and only, Chianti Riserva I have ever seen or tasted. And, it’s so nice to have one finally because it’s really very good. And only $10.99. So I can have it often. And you too. Enjoy.

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

Make that doggie smile BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

All dog lovers know that their pets will delight in the simplest activities. It’s one of their most enchanting characteristics; living in the moment and being grateful for what they have. Every walk is thrilling. Every car ride brings the possibility of adventure. Each rub is so pleasurable it must simply not end! Even an old sock can be fascinating. Here are a few suggestions to create a bonding moment with your Best Friend, sure to result in the dog version of a smile: 1. Under-collar scratch: Most of us miss this vital spot, but your dog will let you know it’s one of his faves. 2. Listen to his heartbeat: place your head on your dog’s chest when he’s at rest and sing a little song to the rhythm. Duke of Earl is a common selection. 3. Pup Pilates: If you do yoga or other floor exercises, let your pal join you on the mat. Most dogs like to be under Downward-Facing Dog. 4. Scratch and sniff: The next time your dog sniffs you, sniff him back! Make it loud and reciprocal. (In Dogland, this is perfectly acceptable social protocol. Your dog will be delighted you made the gesture.) 5. Bring you dog to work day: Assuming your cohorts are amenable and your dog isn’t a hoodlum, what is more wonderful than a day of new smells and adoration. No wonder you go there everyday! 6. Find the blind spot: Scratch the hard-to-reach places on your chubby dog

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

(In Dogland, this is perfectly acceptable social protocol. Your dog will be delighted you made the gesture.) friend. Sometimes they just can’t reach the itch. 7. Iambic petameter: Compose a poem in honor of your dog’s quirky traits and recite it out loud, often. Be sure to use his name. 8. Pupscicles for the Dog Days: Freeze a morsel of kibble or a bit of hot dog in ice cubes for when it’s too hot to move. Count how many licks it takes your pal to find the surprise. Or, how many licks ‘til he decides to cut to the chase. 9. Call of the Wild: Make it a ritual with each full moon to join your dog outside for a Howl-at-the-Moon free-for-all. Letting loose with a howl is liberating for both of you. Next full moon is April 25.

10. Bombs away: Use a slingshot or Chuck-it to wing a treat to the end of the yard for a game of hunt and snack. 11. Sing a little song: Slip your dog’s name into the Banana-fana song. Caution — if your dog’s name is Tucker, you might want to sing it in the privacy of your home.

12. Frisbee snack: Incorporate a little exercise into treat time by tossing unsalted, unflavored miniature rice cakes across the back yard for your dog to chase. 13. Chill seeking: Rub your dog down with a cold, wet towel on a hot, hot day. If you can remember to take it out of the freezer, an icy cold towel is even better! 14. Treat fairy: While your dog is asleep, try to sneak a treat under his pillow. Everyone likes waking up to a surprise. 15. High-level massage: The bony peak atop your dog’s head is the nuchal crest. While it has no known purpose, scholars of High Woo postulate it may be your dog’s antennae for mystical energies. Good idea to massage regularly for maximum reception. 16. Almost tetherball: Tie a balloon on a string just out of reach to your ceiling fan and let it spin on low. Cats enjoy this one, too. All dogs love a little, special silly time for bonding and family play. Send me your favorite special games for another list of smile-garnering activity suggestions!
