Beaufort Charities Invitational Annual Golf Tournament will surpass $800,000 in contributions to local charities

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

I began an internship on Fripp Island for the summer semester of my senior year at Clemson.

The weekend before I started, friends wanted to introduce me to the “local crowd” here in Beaufort. So I joined them at the Beaufort Charities Invitational Golf Tournament which was held that weekend at Ocean Point. That single event became the genesis of my love for all that is Beaufort. I made lifelong friends, moved here after graduation, worked here and am raising two girls in this wonderful city! And it all began with a golf tournament.

In looking back, I found that The Beaufort Charities

Invitational was my first introduction to the genuine camaraderie of this community.

It defines the spirited nature of this philanthropic small town and unofficially kicks off the summer season in Beaufort and the surrounding Sea Islands. But more importantly, it delivers on its’ promise to help local non-profits which in turn helps all of our residents.

And, it’s also the oldest charitable golf tournament in the state of South Carolina. And it’s turning 40 this year. And it’s CHARITY continued going to celebrate its’ birthday

Coca-Cola ‘pauses and refreshes’ the Lowcountry For more than 125 years Coca-Cola has been the “pause that refreshes” and on March 31st, more than 500 CocaCola Bottling Company Consolidated (CCBCC) associates took a break from their daily jobs and “paused” to give back to the community by volunteering with organizations all over the Lowcountry.

The group, who is in town as part of their corporate meeting schedule did just about every job imaginable. They cleaned office space at Family Promise of Beaufort County, assisted at the Sandalwood Food Pantry, made lap blankets for area nursing homes, helped at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, packed USO kits for deploying Troops, prepared meals for Meals of Hope as well as delivering food alongside the Hilton Head based Second Helpings team.

“Giving back to the community is something that’s in Coke’s DNA,” said Alison Patient, Sr. Director, Corporate Affairs for Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated.

excited the opportunity to help people throughout Beaufort County.”

Beaufort’s Coca-Cola Bottling Company Branch Manager, Steve Curtis, complimented his fellow Coke associates saying, “It’s gratifying to work for a company that allows employees, at company expense, the opportunity to get out and make a real difference in the communities where we work, live and play.”

Maureen Korzik, executive director, Second Helpings commented, “Second Helpings distributes more than 2.6 million pounds of food and grocery products each year; and one we would not be able to accomplish without the assistance of our dedicated volunteers.

On behalf of the thousands of children and family we serve, thank you CocaCola for helping Second Helpings serve those in need.”

Beaufort Senior Leadership comes up ACE’s The Beaufort County Senior Leadership program class of 2015 enjoyed a visit to the ACE (Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto river Basin). The ACE Basin Project recently celebrated 25 years of unprecedented land conservation, protecting 217,000 acres of the South Carolina’s Coastal Plain, in a grass roots effort that has become a model for conservation throughout the country. The group met at the Nemours Wildlife Preserve headquarters on the Combahee River. During the morning session, Dr. Ernie Wiggers, Executive Director of the Nemours Plantation and Preserve, reviewed the history of the rice culture along the South Carolina Coast; the important role of naturally occurring wildfires, as well as the necessity of continued controlled burns in the preservation of the local environments.

Dr. Wiggers also reviewed the history and collaborative development of the ACE Basin National Wildlife Preserve.

Dr. Al Segars, Veterinarian with SC Dept. Of Natural Resources and Coordinator of the ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve educated the class as to the plants and animals found in the ACE Basin and in nearby waters;

focusing on the role humans have in the future growth or loss of these resources.

“I could have listened to Dr. Wiggers and Dr. Segar for hours. This was a great educational experience,” said one program participant. Another pleased participant commented “This might have been my favorite day...the speakers were excellent!!”

These sessions were followed with a wagon tour of impoundments and woodlands on the plantation. The staff provided detailed descriptions of the construction, placement, and uses of the large “trunks” used to control the water level of the former rice fields; and the eagle’s nest with both the newborn eaglets and the parents in attendance.

“Because Beaufort County is geographically part of a unique and diverse eco-system, there is an abundance of information to cover both north and south of the Broad River. We need to dedicate two class days on the environment just to cover the basics” said Bob Guinn, of Clemson Extension.

Day 1 focused on the ACE Basin 350,000 acres north of the Broad River, renowned for its extensive natural beauty consisting of marshes, wetlands,

hardwood forests, and riverine systems flowing into St Helena Sound.

The second day covered the flora, fauna and aquatic life in south of the Broad River - with visits to the Port Royal Sound Foundation and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Waddell Mariculture Center in Bluffton.

The class visited and toured the Maritime Center of the Port Royal Sound Foundation, and learned about the history and plans of the Foundation from Director, Jody Hayward. They also heard from Kristen Mattsen, Environmental Educator with the Lowcountry Institute on Spring Island, about what makes Port Royal Sound such a unique body of water. Tony Mills, also with the Lowcountry Institute, as well as host of the“Coastal Kingdom” TV series, talked about many of the “critters” of the Lowcountry. In the afternoon, the group was hosted by Al Stokes, director of the Waddell Mariculture Center, and was given an overview of the research and educational programs on-going at the center; and the important role they play worldwide in developing sustainable marine food sources for the future.

YMCA day camp provides kids the best summer ever!

This summer, YMCA of Beaufort County’s day camp program is offering kids the best summer ever through an enriching and learning experience to help kids get more out of the summer break – more learning, more exploration and more achievement. Through a mix of fun and educational activities aimed at improving well-being, kids will try new adventures, learn and master new skills, share and trade interests with friends, and get plenty of high-fives along the way.

Working with SEER Analytics to find out how camp benefits kids, the Y recently surveyed nearly 30,000 parents and caregivers with kids enrolled in camp at nearly 190 Y associations nationwide.

Ninety-two percent of parents/caregivers

said they agreed the Y’s day camp program helped kids make new friends.

In addition, 83 percent said they agreed the program helped their kids discover what they can achieve, while 87 percent agreed their child felt a sense of belonging at their Y camp.

“At the Y, we know that when kids are given an opportunity to accomplish things, make friends and feel like they belong, they are comfortable expressing individuality and feel more confident, connected and supported,” says Kaylin Garst, YMCA Operations Director. “We are focusing on these youth development areas to ensure that kids in our day camp program go home with so much excitement for all they’ve accomplished

and enjoyed that they can’t wait to come back the next day.”

The Y’s day camp activities focus on helping kids grow socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. In partnership with Beaufort County School District and Jasper County School District, the day camps will also focus on academic enrichment in literacy and mathematics using online education. The Y has also partnered with Beaufort County Library so that campers have more access to summer reading.

As a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community through youth development, the Y offers so much more than a place to play and have fun. Through a holistic approach to youth development,

the Y nurtures the potential of children and teens from birth to career to help them achieve in school and life. Through day camp and other youth development programs, the Y is working to keep kids active and address gaps in learning when school is not in session.

YMCA summer camp is offered at 8 site locations across Beaufort and Jasper counties. To learn more about the YMCA of Beaufort County’s day camp program and to find a site location closest to your work or home visit the Y website, www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com, or call the Y at 843-522-9622. Summer camp registration begins for YMCA members on April 27 and for non-members on May 1.

For those of you who don’t know the history of the event, it was first held in 1976 and was originally called “The Heart Fund.” In 1980, Tournament Chairmen Buster Davis and Woody Oakley made the decision to move the event to Fripp Island Resort where it has been held ever since.

In 1989, Tournament Chairmen Paul Barber and Walter Daniels worked to change the name to “The Beaufort Charities.” Barber and Daniels had managed the event collectively for nineteen years and had the foresight and vision to see that the tournament

The Clover Club, a local women’s group, in celebration of their 125th Anniversary, has kicked off the Library Renovation Project with a donation of $1,600. The Scott Street Library Renovation Fund will replace worn carpet, paint several areas, and purchase new furnishings for the downtown Beaufort Library is sponsored by the Friends of the Beaufort Library. The Clover Club, founded in 1891 by Mrs. Mary Waterhouse, Mrs. Grace Bristol, Mrs. Julia Pollitzer, and Mrs. Mabel Danner for the pursuit and study of literature and music founded the Beaufort circulating library in 1902, the first since Union troops confiscated the collection of the Beaufort Library Society in 1861. The Club began a

fund-raising project for a permanent library building in 1911, and when the Beaufort Township Library was built seven years later, it donated a nucleus of 2000 books. Throughout its history, Clover Club has ardently supported the library.

Anyone interested in donating to this much needed project may do so by sending funds to the Friends of the Library. Please note on the memo line of the check “Scott Street Renovation” and mail to Beaufort Library, 311 Scott Street, Beaufort, SC 29902, attention Marilyn Harcharik. These funds will only be used for the refurbishing of the Beaufort downtown library, which will be the site of Clover Club’s tea celebrating 125 years and honoring the library employees later this year.

Following in December 1991, Barber and Daniels joined forces with the United Way of Beaufort. A new board of directors was elected and they formulated the following mission statement which still guides the organization today: The Beaufort Charities is a philanthropic organization focused on generating funds to be specifically used for local need organizations which possess a worthy objective and program of service for human needs in Northern Beaufort County.

In 1995, Barber, Daniels and its’ Board of Directors continued to evolve the event and changed its name to “The Beaufort Charities Invitational, Inc.” an incorporated 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization moving away from umbrella of the United Way.

One must be brave to come this way

By Shafiya Eve

This quest, this commitment to loving myself, has led to compassionate acceptance for myself and ultimately of others. It involved reflecting on past behaviors, thoughts, actions, inactions – so unconscious, so wrong, disrespectful and thoughtless. In order to find the love of me in those former expressions, I was compelled to see my innocence underneath it all.

In the South, we have a proclivity for the saying, “Bless their sweet heart”, often with tongue in cheek. The tongue and cheek part has fallen away somewhere along this journey. Looking back beneath the wellacted bravado, big smiles and stiletto heels, there was a subtle seething, self -loathing, and under all that, a sleeping angel. A wall named “unlovable” falls away allowing light to enter; recognition occurs.

As the healing process extends its’ unraveling and forgiveness blossoms, judgments are next on Healing’s agenda. Can

you begin to imagine what it feels like to not judge yourself or others? When this malfunctioning aspect collapses, there is a feeling of wonderment that creeps Shafiya in. We now begin to Eve witness our past, present and future with loving compassionate detachment. At this point, we can reclaim our scattered self. We’ve been abandoning and disenfranchising ourselves all along while pointing our finger at the world, the perfect mirror.

Compassion for ourselves, for our innocence, has the profound side effect of losing interest in judging others. Saying “Bless their hearts”, and actually mean it, because underneath it all, you see their innocent sleeping angel, too.

With this new awareness, the wholeness of your being reveals itself into the Now.

You may begin to experience your unified field of energy and witness its expression in life. Your being, like a thousandinstrument orchestra, begins to breathe as a whole, playing a beautiful melody, many notes in perfect harmony. This awareness can expand into the Unity with The All. So while breathing in, the whole universe breathes in with us, and while exhaling, the entire Universe exhales with us. Rest in this thoughtless blissful state for a while. Feel the luxurious ease and radiance of “Being-ness”.

Yes, I speak in terms of “we” because I

sense that this quickening I’m experiencing is not an isolated phenomenon but happening to millions of fellow humans.

There are many before us and many coming along, as we all shine our growing, glowing light on this twirling planet in this ever-whirling Universe.

One must be brave to come this way.

The price costs everything. The rewards are infinite.

When we’ve attained this Oneness, even for a moment, it is not the end but rather the signal that we are now truly beginning.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

George Stevens, President/CEO of Coastal Community Foundation (left) with Jim Marks (right)

Jim Marks and his family moved to Beaufort almost 17 years ago by way of Chicago where he was headmaster of a local school. Jim, and his wife Sally, made their home on Dataw Island and quickly became involved in the greater community – Sally with the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry and Jim with Beaufort Academy.

“I grew up in a family who was very communityminded, so volunteering just feels right,” Jim shared. It makes sense that he would settle in a place like Dataw.

Jim said, “My neighbors seem to gravitate towards giving time and resources to their community. So, supporting local nonprofits was a natural next step.”

8

In doing so, he continued his lifelong commitment to serving his community that began with his career in education.

Jim continued to share his time, talents, and resources with many organizations. Three years ago, he added Coastal Community Foundation to that list. Jim now serves on the Foundation’s Board of Directors, Community Stewardship Committee, Beaufort Listening Network, and just completed his first cycle on The Beaufort Fund grants review committee. This year, The Beaufort Fund awarded over $650,000 to local nonprofits, which Jim feels is “a huge testimony showing what you give today will

the island news | april 9-15, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

help people forever.”

“I’ve gone from being totally clueless about how Coastal Community Foundation and The Beaufort Fund work to being totally committed. On site visits, I see people doing remarkable work on a shoestring of a budget,” Jim shared. “Through the grants process, we help them to carry out their mission and truly make a difference in people’s lives.”

Jim considers his community service a very important part of his life. “All of us have been recipients of gifts or assistance,” says Jim. “To now be able to give back and truly benefit future generations is a wonderful opportunity to be relished.”

Hunting (for eggs) on Hunting Island

Nearly 800 children accompanied by their parent or grandparents, gathered near the light house on Hunting Island State Park for the 4th annual Easter Egg Hunt.

The event, sponsored by the Park and Friends of Hunting Island, was free to public.

The only caveat was have a lot of fun but remember to return the 2,000 hand stuffed, plastic eggs for use next year, according to Daniel Gambrell, park manager. “We

started the egg hunt at the campground”, Gambrell said. But it was such an instant success, they decided to move it to the open area near the light house so everybody could take advantage of the event, he said.

“It’s a fun outing for the kids and their families” said Gambrell, noting that participation has sky-rocketed since its inception.

Deadline approaching for School Choice Applications Beaufort County parents have until next week to submit applications for their children to attend academic programs in schools outside their zoned attendance areas. More than 1100 applications have already been received. Completed applications must be mailed and postmarked no later than Wednesday, April 15th or hand-delivered in person to the Office of Student Services no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 15 at 2900 Mink Point Boulevard, Beaufort, SC 29902.

“Everywhere I go these days, parents and community members are talking about this,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss.

“There’s a ton of interest, and parents are asking lots of questions and doing their research in matching their children’s talents and interests with the different academic programs that the district is offering.”

Curriculum options approved by the Board of Education include such instructional choices as Montessori, International Baccalaureate, arts infused, Classical Studies, language

immersion, early college, leadership programs and advanced math and science. Application forms are posted on line for parents to download and complete, and paper copies are available at all district schools.

Beaufort County students who attend Choice Programs will not pay additional tuition, although families will be responsible for their students’ transportation if they live outside of the school’s attendance zone. All Choice Schools will also serve children who live

in their attendance zones, in addition to students from outside the zone who apply to attend.

Moss said that all district schools will maintain a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) focus, as well as a core that includes the arts, world languages and technology.

Complete information on the district’s school choice program is available on the district’s website at www.beaufort.k12.sc.us/pages/BCSD/ School_Choice.

gardening & voices

By Susan Stone

What don’t the deer eat?

Many of us are already in the garden centers shopping for flowers. Just this week I ran into a shopper who was very discouraged by the deer in her neighborhood.

Everything she bought last year became deer food.

Believe it or not, you can have a beautiful garden and flower display even with deer around, if you choose wisely. Like it or not, your yard is their home too. But that doesn’t mean you cannot coexist happily. There are many flowers and plants that deer will not eat, there are even more that they will occasionally nibble on and then there is the long list of deer candy.

Here is a list of my personal favorite deer resistant flowers. Most of them I have never seen deer touch…a few of them have been tasted, but not preferred, so I will include them as well.

In no particular order; Plumbago, Ginger (including the variegated), Oyster Plant, ornamental grasses, Yarrow, Monarda (Bee Balm), Setcreasea, Lantana, Vinca, all the Salvias, African Iris, Flax Lily (Dienella), Farfugium, Zinnia, Phlox, Cleome, Gaillardia, Echinacea, Rudebeckia, Susan Stone all the Sedums, Coreopsis, Canna, Sun Flowers and Marigolds.

Squirrels too can be a challenge. I have found that a layer of loose stone or sea shells (make sure they are free of salt) on top of the soil will keep them from digging in the flower pots. For more information including an extensive list of deer resistant plants, visit: http://www.almanac.com/content/deer-resistant-plants.

Happy Gardening!

Please send your gardening wisdom and questions to susan@outdoorarchitecture.com if you are asking about a particular disease or pest; please include a photo if possible.

Recipe of the Month: DEER REPELLENT This one comes from Janie Torrens on Hilton Head.

She says it’s tried and true!

1 Gal. water (I put it in a plastic milk bottle) beat up 2 eggs and put in water, add 1 cup of Murphy’s’ Oil Soap. Set out in the sun for 2 days. Works without sun but only if it’s hot out.

I then put it in a pump spray bottle. Smells bad but the odor slowly goes away. The deer do not like the taste of it. Reapply after a heavy rain.

An otherwise flawless face

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

As our sleeves become shorter, the days longer and the smiles broader, evidence of our favorite season decorates the sweetest of Southern seaside towns. Like someone kicked an ant bed, we scurry about in every direction soaking up all that is sun drenched and soul laden as we turn towards the sun as if to greet a long lost friend. Native or newcomer, tourist or truant, each takes notice of the winning season. The season that brings out the introvert, rallies the recluse and shines on the social butterflies. Our little town takes center stage and brings the house down to an audience in need of brighter days and gentler ways.

Before the heat rises to a sultry crisp, the interim offers paradise found, found sweetly underneath a most powerful beast.

Beaufortonians rise out of the shadows as if hibernation was a holiday host. Cursing a climate that danced with temperatures less than 65 degrees and forced seafarers to anchor under blankets and long pants. Understanding well our natural rights of life, liberty and perfect weather, we have ached for the most precious of months. Greeting each day with wonder, hope and a treasure trove of pol-

Just as roses have thorns, Sunday’s have Mondays and chocolate has calories, so Beaufort has pollen.

Coated in a pale Cherimie yellow haze our cars, Crane Weatherford our porches, our pets and even our hair serves as an equalizer for our otherwise unblemished domicile. Boston has snow, Vegas has hangovers, Tulsa has traffic and California has fertile fault lines. It would be unkind for Beaufort to be beautifully absent of a worthy adversary and a reminder to be thankful for less yellow days. Therefore the universe sighs at the simple and douses us all with the most unforgiving of glitter.

We muddle our way through weeks of a punitive dusting. Porches empty, convertibles don’t convert and simply walking to the mailbox becomes a trek of treacherous torture. After months of summoning warmer days we sit inside staring blankly at the slowly crafted quilt of yellow.

Our skin glistens with the seasons’ first sun, so doth eyes with the season’s signature allergen. Sneezes abound,

sniffles serenade and work days turn into a medicated haze. It is a burden we bear as we struggle to earn finer days of boat rides and low tides. We will survive. We will rise from the ashes of prescriptions and potions and reign victorious to claim our prize of sweet summer time in the sunniest of seaside towns. Mother Nature means no harm, just giving us a freckle on an

otherwise flawless face reminding us all to increase our intake of gratitude and vitamin sea. Wishing you all a few less sneezes.

overpass opposite the Recruit Depot’s parade deck and proceeds from there around Parris Island, out the P.I. entrance causeway, up one temporarily closed off lane of Ribaut Road to the Old Village section of Port Royal, and then to The Naval Hospital where it then doubles back to Parris Island.

Teams will be required to run the 31 mile course twice, so there will be plenty of opportunities for spectators to see the runners in action. Civilian spectators will be encouraged to view the race in Port Royal along Paris Avenue or at the skate park. The organizers are expecting 1520 teams at this time, according to Port Royal Police Captain Andre Massey.

There may be more.

Registered teams must contain at least six participants, Captain Murray explained last week. This is for two reasons: to honor the Marines’ tradition of teamwork, and to keep the speeds up and thus the traffic lane closures to a minimum. Teams that cannot keep up a 9 min. 30 sec. per mile pace throughout the distance won’t finish, he added.

Navy LCDR Aileen Heath who will run, and who is helping put together the Naval Hospital’s team, said last

week excitement about the race among the local running community is building. Heath, who has run Marine Corps Marathons in both DC and in Afghanistan, and the Boston Marathon as well, predicted teams will address the legs differently with some longer distance runners running back-to-back legs while other 5-8k specialists might run one leg out and then take a short rest while their teammates wear the belt before they strap it on again for another later leg. “And then there will be one Marine,” LCDR Heath added smiling, “these guys are amazing, you watch – who doesn’t register, who doesn’t get a number, who just silently appears in the group at the start and who runs the whole thing. And then he goes and gets a taco.”

on Dr. Malec

Parris Island is putting together a team. The Naval Hospital is too. The Air Station, Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield and the Citadel have all been invited to do the same. ESPN is on notice.

There’s a little known opportunity next month on May 16 for the right team of civilian runners to snatch the “Parris Island Centennial 100k Relay Race” trophy away from the guys in uniform, and become unique (running world) heroes.

This is for lifetime bragging rights.

The upcoming contest is believed to be the longest and most competitive running race ever staged in the Carolina Lowcountry.

The starting gun goes off for the 100k race, which is being designed to be run in twelve relay legs that vary from 4.2 miles to 5.5 miles in length, at 6:30 that Saturday morning. Registration forms are available on the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Centennial Celebration website until May 8.

The race is the spectacular kickoff for a series of events that are now being planned that will take place on Parris Island and in the Town of Port Royal during the upcoming summer and fall, all of which are a part of the official celebration of 100 years of continuous Marine Corps training operations at Parris Island.

The Marines first came to Parris Island in 1896 to provide security for a Navy dry dock facility there. But when the Navy consolidated its yard operations in Charleston in 1915, at the urging of the South Carolina State Legislature the Marines took over the island and set up a barracks there. It is the transfer of title from the Navy to the Marines and the standing up of the barracks on Parris Island that is being celebrated this summer, according to Marine Corps Captain David Murray, the race’s and the centennial celebration’s principal organizer.

The historic approximately 62.1 mile race begins at the “We Make Marines”

Bell bottoms and motorcycles

By Lee Scott

My mother–in–law once gave me valuable advice on clothing. She said, “If you remember wearing it the first time, then you are too old to wear it again.” I was reminded of this last week when I was getting my hair done. My hairdresser, Kelly had on a pair of DL 1961 flare jeans. I told her that I had a pair just like them forty years ago. I loved the hip hugger cut and the way the hem on each leg would start to fringe as I continued to drag them along the ground as I walked. Bell bottom jeans were the signature pants of my generation.

Now years later, my mother- inlaw’s comments suddenly make sense.

Fashion styles do come around again, and although many of the old 60’s outfits are back, there are no flared jeans or mini-skirts in my wardrobe. My dresser 16

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

does not have any tied-dyed shirts or God forbid a midriff top. The old saying “Been there, done that” popped into my head as I sat there talking to Kelly.

We live with so many of these old sayings that seem to dictate our lives.

Like “Don’t wear white shoes before Memorial Day or after Labor Day.” or “Make sure your purse and shoes match”. And although you won’t catch me in some of the clothes I wore when I

the island news | april 9-15, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

was young, I really liked those jeans that Kelly was wearing. Do I have to limit myself in everything just because I did it years ago? It was a real eye opener when I looked at my reflection in the mirror as Kelly was cutting away, and realized that my hairdo is the same one I wore forty years ago. Some things do seem to come around as the women in my generation are resorting back to the haircut we had in the 60s.

Later, when I arrived home from the hair salon my husband greeted me by saying he was heading to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get his motorcycle license. I hesitated for just a moment and then said, “Go for it!”

We are different people now than when we were in our 20s - when we thought we would live forever. We know now that is not true but we want to enjoy ourselves just as much now as we did then – maybe with a slightly different approach. I don’t have to limit myself. I have decided to buy some bell-bottom jeans. They will look good on me riding on the back of the motorcycle; although the 50CC Vespa does not have the same roar as the Harley Sportster had in the past. Yes, Mom, I remember wearing those forty years ago, but at least I will not be wearing the midriff top.

wine

A buzz and a saw (but not a buzz saw!)

By Celia Strong

Oh,boy! Another trip. Another lesson.

Another wine. If I didn’t know better, I could think we just keep drinking. But, I know better. We, actually, keep tasting (not the same thing as drinking) and learning. Every week is a little adventure.

With a bonus. And the bonus may be different for each one of us. But, that’s OK. Why? Because the great thing about wine is that we each get to have our own favorites. Our very own. So everyone’s bonus is different. And special for each one of us. Sometimes it’s a bigger bonus.

Because we really love the wine one week.

Sometimes, it may not be our new favorite wine, but we know a new wine and can use it when the occasion comes up for its type of flavors. All we can be sure of is we are learning together and having fun together.

And that is what wine is all about! So, this week, we get to visit Spain. Some of my favorite wines come from this country, so I’m pretty excited.

Our region of “study” takes us to Valencia. Valencia is a city, with a wonderful food repertoire, and an official DO (Denominació d’Origen) for Spanish wines. Of course, thankfully, we have to look at both. The wine history in Valencia dates back to Neolithic times.

The excavation of grave sites helped archeologists document how truly old the history of wine here is. Valencia is a port city, so the shipping of wine out to the rest of the world made it important.

Today, Valencia is Spain’s third largest city and its largest wine exporting site. It is only in the last few centuries, though, that wine exporting has played a major role in the city’s economy. Grapes have been grown in Valencia for thousands of years. Ancient writers, including Marcial

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

and Juvenal, mentioned Valencian wines.

Arnau de Vilanova, a native of the city, wrote a book about wine (Liber de Vinis) in the thirteenth century. Today, many of the Valancian wineries produce wines for exporting.

The Valencia DO is located very close to the eastern coast of Spain. Actually, this DO is divided into two separate zones. On a map of Spanish wine regions, it appears as two separate plots. Not touching each other at all. Around the city of Valencia is one of the most fertile belts of soil in the country. As usual, the pieces and parts of this region are based on their different soils. The subsoils vary from fluvial type at lower altitudes to sandier soil at intermediate altitudes and limestone at higher altitudes. All permeable soils so drainage for the vineyards is not an issue.

The vineyards closer to the Mediterranean coast have milder, more Mediterranean climates. Duh! And the inland vineyards have a more continental climate. There can be up to a thirty degree temperature variation on a daily basis. Some of the vineyard areas can be arid, so drip irrigation is used sometimes. Hail and high winds, especially in higher elevations, can cause problems for some growers. The Valencia DO aging regulations are somewhat different than in the rest of Spain. A wine labeled “crianza” is aged only three months in casks. “Reserva” wines are aged in wood

for a minimum of six months. And, “gran reserva” are aged for nine months. Some winemakers opt to use the longer, national standards, though. The main varieties in Valencia wines are mesequera, malvasia, tempranillo, monastrell and moscatel.

(The first two are whites, the last three are reds.)

The food of this region is particularly interesting. And varied. Due to its location - close to the sea and the mountains - we should all be able to find things we like here. Paella is number one. There is a lot of rice grown here, so, of course, Spain’s famous rice dish is important. Versions vary from meat based (sausage, rabbit, poultry) to seafood to combinations of it all. They also make “Fidou,” a noodle based version of paella. And lots of garlic is used too. Yum. And, loads and loads of different kinds of seafood. Sardines, hake, red mullet, mackerel, mussels, shrimp, octopus. Fresh, smoked and salted. And, let’s not forget the saffron. A delicious smoky earthy flavor.

Now, on to our wine. The El Sierro Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon. It seems that not much Tempranillo was planted in the Valencia DO. Until El Sierro winemaker, Joaquin Galvez, started using it. (We need to remember the great wines that Tempranillo can make in Rioja and some other, mostly northern, regions of Spain.) “Sierro” in Spanish means “saw,” but it refers to a ridge of hills in the area.

Not any actual saw. (You can get a buzz from this saw, but it’s not a buzz saw. No, I did not just say that!) And, it was this area’s elevation for vineyards that Galvez thought would make good Tempranillo wines. El Sierro’s Tempranillo grapes are planted at one thousand to almost three thousand feet above sea level. At these

altitudes, this variety ripens slowly and develops terrific aromatics and rich fruit flavors. About eighty percent of the wine is Tempranillo. Cabernet Sauvignon makes up the remainder of the blend. This grape gives the wine structure and a longer finish.

The finished wine is deep ruby color. Very nice! It has red and black fruit aromas and flavors - dark cherries, raspberries and blackberries. Hints of vanilla and baking spices come from the Tempranillo and the barrel aging. The tannins are soft and leave a lovely lingering finish in your mouth.

Like a lot of our favorite wines, it leaves you wanting another sip. And another glass. Nice, too! (Brings a new meaning to “buzz?” Nope, just the same as always.)

So, buzz or not, we have a delicious new wine. And, looking at the list of Valencian food, how close is that to our summer food? Seafood. Rice. Garlic and saffron.

Seems we have had another good trip and tasting. And found ourselves another nice wine. For $9.99. Oops. Bonus time!

Another great wine! Enjoy.

Yellow ribbons aren’t just for returning Vets

By Dr. Parker T. Barker and Prof. Percy Pussycat So there I am. Strolling down the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park with Peanut and Mom, or maybe the three of us are cruising around the Historic District thinking about what gorgeous house we are going to buy when we win the lottery. Probably about the same time as pigs fly…and I see a really cute Border collie walking with her owner. Typically, I start bouncing around, barking and generally showing off my great male physique and I want to go right over there and say hello nose to tail. Think this is a good idea?

But then I notice something a little different about this dog. She has a yellow ribbon prominently tied to her leash. I’ve heard about that. The Yellow Ribbon Project is a global non-profit to alert children in particular that they should approach that dog with extreme caution, and like always, ask the owner for permission first before actually getting near the dog.

The yellow ribbon is to indicate that this dog has issues. It doesn’t mean she

Dr. Parker T. Barker

Prof. Percy Pussycat

is mean or aggressive. She might just be skittish, or nervous, or prone to getting super excited. Or maybe she just had an operation or has hurt herself and playing with a gang might make that worse. A yellow ribbon means “Proceed with Caution!”

So how do I recommend you and your family approach a dog you don’t know who is on a leash? After Mom has determined it is ok, you can walk up slowly and quietly. Slow and quiet aren’t in my vocabulary so we usually just walk in a different direction and avoid the situation all together. But if there were children with us, please no screaming and jumping around so as not to make the dog anxious or excited. Next, if you want to pet her (and again it is ok with the owner), scratch her under her chin.

A NOTE FROM PROFESSOR PERCY: “To protect your plants and flowers inside, there are certain plants that cats just don’t like. Coleus Canina, also known as Scaredy Cat Plant, is one of them. By placing it around your plant, it creates a buffer that makes them unattractive to me. And vases can be very alluring too. All those pretty flowers right in my line of sight. Sorry, I got sidetracked.

Anyway, if you add some lemon juice to the water, I will probably leave them alone as cats and citrus don’t usually get along. Dogs don’t like the smell of citrus either.

But honestly, cats are cats. Expect the worse and you may be surprised.”

Don’t pet her on top of her head or on her hind quarters.

Many of us come from shelters or had a tough upbringing. A hand over my head reminds me of when my old owner used to hit me. It took me six years before I didn’t flinch when my Mom petted me on the head. I was sure I was going to get hit. But she never did hit me. And yes, I’m a slow learner but sometimes things just stick in your brain. If I think I am about to be hit, I usually react by either running away or biting. Being hit is NO fun. And you certainly don’t want to get bitten. So tickle me under my chin, please.

So when you see a dog with a yellow ribbon on her leash, I would recommend you give her space, lots of space, and let her enjoy her walk just like you are doing. This makes less stress for everyone.
