RINGING IN 50 YEARS

august 21-27, 2014

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Beaufort Academy marks its 50th anniversary at the start of this school year

By Bob Sofaly

Beaufort Academy celebrated its 50th anniversary and first day of school on Monday, Aug. 18, with an assembly of students, faculty, parents and alumni in the school’s gym.

BA opened in the fall of 1965 under the direction of Cmdr.

Charles E. Owens, Jr. F o r m e r Headmaster Lee Bollman was the keynote speaker during Monday’s event. He described what it was like when he came to BA as a teacher and soccer coach in 1969. A year later, Bollman was also made school’s top administrator.

He also described the school’s first computer system and how different it was compared to today’s technology.

The first day of school began with the traditional ringing of the school bell by current Headmaster Stephen Schools.

City works to clear clogged storm drains Responding to recent extreme rainfalls that flooded areas across the Lowcountry, Beaufort city leaders are working to clean out drain inlets and pipes in key locations.

Over the past 30 days, intense and dense rain storms have dropped several inches of rain in short periods of time on Beaufort, Savannah and Charleston, overwhelming drainage systems. The problem is made worse when the storms come at high tide, which limits the natural system’s ability to absorb the rainfall.

To combat the problem in Beaufort, the city contracted with Eadie’s Construction and Palmetto Construction to bring specialized equipment to clean stormwater drains and pipes, said Isiah Smalls, director of public works and facilities management for the city.

“We have always had problems with

stormwater flooding when we get these extra-heavy rain falls,” Smalls said. “Most of our stormwater drainage was built and is owned and controlled by others such as the South Carolina DOT. Having said that, we are working at the worst locations to improve the drainage in the short term, and we’ll take a look at the bigger picture for more permanent solutions.”

During the drain and pipe cleaning process, motorists may experience some delays, Smalls said.

City officials encouraged residents to check drain grates in their neighborhoods and either sweep away accumulated debris or alert the city’s Public Works Department at 525-7054.

Further, residents and landscapers are reminded not to dump yard debris into roads where it can be washed into the drainage system. Spanish moss, leaves

and grass clippings serve as clogs that bind to sand and dirt particles, creating drain and pipe blockages that have severely affected the stormwater drainage system in Beaufort, Smalls said.

There is no limit on the number of bags of normal yard debris that can be placed curbside by Beaufort residents.

However, they must be sure that no bag weighs more than 50 pounds and that any bundled items, such as branches, don’t exceed four feet in length or 50 pounds.

Leaves and branch pickups are made once weekly in the city. If you don’t know your designated day for service, please call City of Beaufort Public Works at 843525-7054, ext. 2, Waste Pro at 843-6454100 or visit www.cityofbeaufort.org and click on Residents/City Services/Solid Waste to see the schedule.

Five arrested as a result of search warrants The simultaneous execution of two search warrants Wednesday, Aug. 13 led to the recovery of stolen weapons, illicit drugs, and the arrests of five local men.

Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office investigators coordinated the service of search warrants at two Lady’s Island residences just after 5 p.m. on Aug. 13.

The search warrants were obtained for 9 Woodbine Lane and 12 Lemoyne Drive in connection with the investigation of last weekend’s armed robbery at the House of Tang restaurant.

Upon execution of the search warrant at 9 Woodbine Lane, contact was made with 17-year-old Malcolm Driessen and 18-year-old Ronald Moore. Driessen

was in possession of a cell phone that was identified as the one stolen during the House of Tang robbery. Driessen was arrested on one count of Receiving Stolen Goods. It was also discovered that Moore was in violation of a trespass notice for the residence and was arrested for Trespassing After Notice.

Upon execution of the search warrant at 12 Lemoyne Drive, contact was made with 21-year-old Malcolm Moore, 22-year-old Daniel Edwards, and 18-year-old Kieon Marshall.

The search of the home yielded the recovery of 10 firearms, two of which had been previously reported stolen out of Beaufort County. About 3.5 oz. of

marijuana was discovered and seized.

All three men at the residence were charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana. Moore was charged with two counts of Possession of Stolen Firearms and Possession of a Schedule V Controlled Substance.

Additional charges may be pending as the armed robbery investigation continues. Investigators are also working to determine if any of the other recovered firearms may have been illegally obtained.

Anyone with information that may be useful to this or other investigations is encouraged to contact either Investigator Staff Sgt. J. Fraser at 843-255-3416 or Crimestoppers.

The Beaufort County Democratic Party will host a grand opening for its Beaufort area campaign office on Saturday, August 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The office is located at 705 Carteret Street in Beaufort.

Special guests for the event include Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Joyce Dickerson and Beaufort County Councilwoman Laura Von Harten.

The vent is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. For more information or to volunteer for the upcoming election, contact Alice Washington at 843-322-1973 or Gracie Aylmer at 517-648-9564.

Life: I’ll take mine served raw, please

By Brittney Hiller

I have a wonderful friend who has taken the time to video blog his experiences after each yoga class.

Recently, he shared deep from his soul about how he let his true self disappear while attempting to date another. In his video, following the end of their courtship, he spoke about how he was touched during the final relaxation pose of our yoga session (also known as Savasana — another reason to come to yoga? We take naps!).

He mentioned his physical and emotional release and the beauty that was revealed within him. Images of the people who love him for who he is began popping into his head, as if a wonderful signal from God that he would be OK. Indeed, he is loved.

Think about that: Don’t we find ourselves hiding our true self to impress another? How often do we lose our self because we feel we know what it is this

Awakenings

other person wants? Why? Why do we do this?

Teens — listen up! (Yup, that’s right, read for a moment from this thing called a newspaper, or look online, but check this out.)

This is for you, as my 30-year-old self can hear me sounds like “that old chic,” here it goes: If I knew when I was 17 what I know now... Honestly, I’d probably not listen to myself and carry on my fumbling ways, but oh, IF I listened, I would have avoided a lot of hardship and heartbreak, especially during my 20s.

When we let our true self hide in the attempt to please, woo, win, or gain another person, we are only losing

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

our Self. Then we end up in these relationships that seem meaningful in the beginning, but turn out to be fraudulent.

(My hope is that it is witnessed before years of torment — mine happened to last four years.)

The most amazing thing you can do for another person (and for you) is be YOU. That’s right, you, just as you are — latte in one hand, iPhone in the other.

Laugh, cry, banter, rejoice, play, whatever you do that makes your heart sing, DO IT. You will then attract the

people in your life that you need. Trust me, they are waaaaaay better than the ones you think you want.

These people will lift you up, they will emphasize your freakin’ awesomeness that already exists, they will encourage you and challenge you and you will love it.

Let the pettiness take a back seat in your mama’s van and bring out your true fantastic self! Your shining, shimmering light will guide those you need straight into your life. Besides, you never know, the one person you thought you needed may change and show back up in a way you never imagined.

Life is fantastic and I prefer mine raw.

Live it the best way you know how — by being YOU. Brittney Hiller has practiced yoga for over a decade and can be found at every yoga studio in Beaufort. Find out more information on her at www. brittneyhilleryoga.com.

Understanding pregnancy and your dental health

By Jennifer Wallace, DMD

Congrats on the soon-to-be new addition to your family. There will be a lot of changes to plan for in the next few months. Let’s see, there’s a name to pick, a nursery to get ready, diapers/blankets/ clothes to buy — but don’t forget to also plan to take care of Momma during exciting this time.

The old wives tale that warns a woman to expect a lost tooth for every baby is false. If the mother’s intake of calcium is inadequate during pregnancy, her bones — not her teeth — will provide the calcium her growing baby needs. This calcium loss is quickly made up after breastfeeding stops. However, the demands of pregnancy can lead to particular dental problems in some women.

Ben Franklin said “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that certainly applies to this subject. You are less likely to have dental problems during pregnancy if you already have good oral hygiene habits like flossing, brushing with fluoridated toothpastes, eating a healthy non-sugary diet and visiting your dentist

regularly. Pregnancy can lead to dental problems in some women, including gum disease and increased risk of tooth decay from cravings of sugary foods, vomiting from morning sickness and gagging when brushing.

During pregnancy, your increased hormones can affect your body’s response to plaque (the layer of germs on your teeth). During pregnancy, about half of all women (60 to 70 percent) experience a condition called pregnancy gingivitis. Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that is caused when plaque accumulates in the spaces between the gums and the teeth. The accumulation of bacteria can lead to the loss of bone around the teeth and can eventually lead to tooth decay and tooth loss. Pregnancy Gingivitis is caused by an increase in hormone levels, which can exaggerate a woman’s response to dental plaque in the mouth. This extra plaque may cause swelling, bleeding, redness and/ or tenderness in the gums. Changes in the gums are most noticeable from the second month of pregnancy, reaching a

the island news | august 21-27, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

maximum in the eighth month.

In women with severe morning sickness, frequent vomiting can erode the enamel on the back of the front teeth.

If you are vomiting frequently, contact your dental office for information on how to prevent enamel erosion. It is important not to brush right away after you vomit, since the stomach acid in your mouth will only help erode the teeth as you brush. Wait about an hour before brushing your teeth after vomiting. While the teeth are covered in stomach acids, the vigorous action of the toothbrush may scratch the tooth enamel. DO rinse right away with water, or a fluoridated mouth wash.

Research has found a link between gum disease in pregnant women and premature birth with low birth weight.

Babies who are born prematurely may risk a range of health conditions including cerebral palsy and problems with eyesight and hearing. Estimates suggest that about 18 out of every 100 premature births may be triggered by periodontal disease, which is a chronic

infection of the gums. Appropriate dental treatment for the expectant mother can reduce the risk of premature birth by more than 80 percent, according to one study.

Another old wives tale is that an expectant mother shouldn’t visit the dentist until after birth. Of course, the best approach to dental care is to see your dentist before you get pregnant for an exam and cleaning. During your pregnancy, the second trimester is the best time to receive routine dental care.

During the last trimester, it may become uncomfortable for you and baby to sit or lay for longer dental appointments.

Pregnancy does not automatically damage your teeth. With proper hygiene at home and professional help from your dentist, your teeth should remain healthy throughout pregnancy. So be sure to share the good news with your dentist ASAP to prevent and prepare for a happy, healthy momma and baby.

Mondavi family builds new home in Beaufort Rob Mondavi Jr., and wife Lydia Mondavi are establishing their Southern roots with the creation of a new designer home in Beaufort. Located on the banks of Port Royal Sound overlooking Parris Island, the home, designed by Reu Architects, blends Napa’s acclaimed wine country with the casual elegance of the Lowcountry to embody the family’s entertaining lifestyle and reconnect them to Lydia’s South Carolina ancestral heritage.

“My family has a long history in this area,” says Lydia Mondavi. “My mother’s forefathers, John Rutledge and his son of the same name, served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, respectively. Additionally, John and Edward Rutledge signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. My paternal grandfather, Y.T. Abernathy, served as a Marine in World War II and was trained at Parris Island, the very island we overlook off our deep-water dock now.”

This Napa Valley couple shares a passion for wine and sustainable living principles, both of which inspired the designer home and Mondavi Home Collection, a growing assortment of authentic home essentials that debuted in January 2014, with innovative reserve barrel flooring made from a selection

of refurbished Mondavi wine barrels.

A true labor of love, Rob and Lydia partnered with acclaimed designers and manufacturers to bring their Southern story to life through their distinct personal style and regional inspirations.

Part of embracing the Lowcountry’s relaxed lifestyle, according to Lydia, is creating livable outdoor space to enjoy the region’s sights and sounds, and Trex Company Inc.’s quality decking allows the whole family, including Rob and Lydia’s 3-year-old son, Robert Mondavi III, to enjoy its natural beauty.

Honoring the essence of the picturesque coast, the entire home is tied together by the coastal-inspired color scheme and décor. Thoughtfully curated by Lydia’s mother, interior decorator Anita Wilbanks, the home’s 22 color palette by Benjamin Moore represents the varying hue of ocean tides with each room’s color ebbing and flowing from dark to light. Additional decorative elements throughout the home include lighting by Circa Lighting and furnishings by M Interiors.

The family is excited to divide their time between Napa, Ca., and Beaufort and to give their son an opportunity to explore the coastal life the region offers.

For more information, please visit their website at www.mondavihome.com.

Get schooled on financial aid, for any income level Did you know that in the 2012-2013 academic year, more than $238.5 billion in financial aid (grants, federal loans, federal work-study, and federal tax credits and deductions) was awarded to undergraduate and graduate students?

And that those students came from households spanning a wide range of household incomes? During that same time period, the average amount of aid for a full-time college or university student was $13,730, including $7,190 in grants (that don’t have to be repaid) and $4,900 in federal loans, according to Trends in Student Aid 2013, collegeboard.org.

Once you realize how many resources may be available to your student and begin your research on financial assistance, you may be on your way toward easing some of the anxiety often associated with paying for higher education.

5 lessons on seeking financial help for your student’s tuition Start planning for aid during your student’s high school years. Pay particular attention to your child’s junior year of high school, and reposition assets or adjust income before that year begins.

When financial aid officers review a family’s need, they analyze the family’s income in the calendar year that begins in January of the student’s junior year of high school.

Once you realize how many resources may be available to your student, you may be on your way toward easing some of the anxiety often associated with paying for higher education.

Whitney McDaniel

Assume you are eligible for aid until you’re told otherwise.

There are no specific guidelines and no rules of thumb that can accurately predict the aid you and your student may be offered. Because each family’s circumstances are different, you’ll want to keep an open mind as you consider various financial-aid alternatives.

A number of factors — such as having several children in school at the same time — could increase your eligibility.

Reassess assets held by your children. Federal institutions expect children to contribute 20% of their savings toward their education’s costs, while parents are expected to contribute up to 5.64% of their savings, according to fafsa.gov. That’s why assets held in custodial accounts may reduce the aid for which the family qualifies. Assets held in Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and 529 plans will be factored into the parent’s formula, having less effect on the aid for which the family qualifies.

Steer grandparents’ gifts in the right

direction. Grandparents’ hearts often lead them toward gifting directly to grandchildren or paying the student’s tuition expenses. Even though payments made directly to the institution avoid gift taxes, institutions generally count these payments as an additional resource the family has to pay for college expenses. Distributions from grandparent-owned 529 plans are also considered as additional resources and assessed as student’s income — which reduces the amount of eligible aid. A better idea for grandparents may be to consider gifting to a 529 plan owned by the parent or student. The financial aid treatment of gifts to a 529 plan is generally more favorable than that for gifts made directly to the student, and grandparents may realize estate-tax and gifting benefits by using this alternative.

Assess your family’s financial situation to determine the amount of funding your student will need.

Gather records and begin researching available financial aid, grants, loans and scholarships. Two forms will be key to your aid application process: the Free

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service Financial Aid Profile (PROFILE). The FAFSA form helps you apply for federal aid, and many states also use it to determine a resident student’s eligibility for state aid. You can find this form in high school guidance offices and college financial aid offices or online at fafsa.ed.gov.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing in a 529 savings plan. The official statement, which contains this and other information, can be obtained by calling your financial advisor. Read it carefully before you invest.

Making the scene with Greendrinks

By Lanier Laney

C

ongratulations to Beaufort’s Greendrinks, which celebrated its sixth successful year this past week. Founded by Paul Nurnberg, Kim Gundler, Burton Sauls, Richard Darby, Mark Shaffer, and Michele Barker, this group holds a monthly meeting of people working in the environmental fields along with those who are simply interested in getting together with other green-minded people. They meet every third Tuesday of the month and always have a interesting speaker on topics ranging from local solar energy to beekeeping. Their motto? “Green goes better with friends.” This week’s topic was on how to make Beaufort a year-round eco-tourism destination with speaker Robb Wells from the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce.

“We all have a good time. Join us!” said member Liz Entwistle. Go to www.greendrinks.org/SC/Beaufort to see upcoming scheduled speakers and sign up for emails.

Baby shower held for Beaufort Memorial’s Emily Harris

By Terry Bergeron

More than 30 of Emily Harris’ co-workers and friends from Beaufort Memorial Hospital gathered last week at the Distant Island home of Sallie Stone in order to celebrate the pending arrival of her first child, baby boy William Holland Harris. Emily is the associate marketing director at Beaufort Memorial and is due mid-October. Emily and her husband Patrick live on Lady’s Island and are avid boaters, so the festivities had a nautical theme, right down to the cookies.

school news

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

Local child pianist finds success with online school At age 4, Beaufort’s Wennie Rodriguez started playing the piano, learning it so quickly that her first teacher referred to her as a “piano prodigy.” Between events, master classes and competitions, attending a brickand-mortar elementary school like her peers proved difficult.

Now at 10 years old, Wennie will be entering the eighth grade this 201415 school year, working three grade levels above other students her age.

With a thirst for knowledge and a knack for memorizing facts, Wennie needed a different kind of education to truly challenge her, said her mother, Welneliza.

Wennie is enrolled at South Carolina Connections Academy, a tuition-free virtual public school option for students in grades K-12 throughout South Carolina. She joined the online school when her mother decided to look into school options that would work with Wennie’s piano practice schedule and advanced learning abilities.

Wennie Rodriguez, 10, of Beaufort, studies through her online school, South Carolina Connections Academy.

“When we were looking for schooling options for Wennie, South Carolina Connections Academy offered the flexibility we wanted, but also the support from individual teachers that we needed,” said Welneliza Rodriguez.

“The flexibility is key for us. Wennie can practice piano three times a day, and still stay on top of her lessons. We also don’t have to worry about traveling because Wennie can bring the classroom with her.”

Wennie interacts with her classmates and receives instruction from her teachers in LiveLesson® sessions — a virtual classroom setting that encourages the same lively interactions of a traditional classroom, but online.

Students can chat amongst themselves and even virtually raise their hands.

Welneliza Rodriguez said in addition to the technology that allows Wennie to connect to her teachers and peers, she is grateful that the curriculum is challenging and tailored to Wennie’s needs.

The Rodriguez family has also found that extracurricular activities have enriched their daughter’s socialization experience. Wennie is able to connect with other students in South Carolina and across the U.S. through participation in extracurricular activities like the Math Club, Movie Club and the National Junior Honor Society.

South Carolina Connections Academy, which is authorized under state law by the South Carolina Public

Charter School District, expects to serve more than 3,800 students throughout the state during the 2014-15 school year.

South Carolina-certified teachers work with students and learning coaches, the student’s parent or guardian, to develop customized learning programs that address each student’s personal education needs while maintaining a curriculum that meets rigorous state education standards.

Virtual schooling is proving to be the right fit for Wennie as well as for many other students, including those who benefit from a flexible schedule, those who learn at a different pace from their peers or those who need more individualized attention. The diverse student body includes competitive athletes with rigorous schedules, previously homeschooled students, and students seeking expanded course offerings, among others.

the indie film corner: ‘rich hill’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the Indie Film “Rich Hill: Three Boys in Small Town America” on Monday, August 25 at 7 p.m.

Directed by Andrew Droz Palermo and Tracy Droz Tragos, “Rich Hill” is an “immersive documentary that shows the real-life struggles of American youth,” said Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News.

The film also won the 2014 Sundance Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Rich Hill, Missouri, could be any of the countless small towns that blanket America’s heartland, but to teenagers Andrew, Harley and Appachey, it’s home.

As they ride their skateboards and go to football practice, they are like millions of

Palmetto Dancers to hold open houses “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” could be the motto of the Palmetto Dancers, an organized dance team for teens and tweens.

This energetic group is headed by Sue Stanny, the former owner of a dance school in Pittsburgh, Pa., who has brought her talents to the Lowcountry. Sue said that she started the group because she wanted to offer Beaufort parents “an affordable alternative to traditional dance schools.” She was able to do that by using ARTworks, a community arts center, as the home and practice space of the group, which has allowed her to keep costs low — a $25 registration fee and a $20 monthly fee.

Carol Doe, the mother of two Palmetto Dancers, says that cost was a big factor in her decision to enroll her daughters in the group, but now she sees other benefits.“I can see them working together better, even at home. Her daughters, however, have other reasons for participating.

Jamila, a shy girl with beautifully braided hair says, “I like to do spins” and her older sister, J’Lyn interrupts, “and high kicks!

Those are fun!”

Another unique aspect of the Palmetto Dancers is that they are not a competitive group. They don’t require a closet full of fancy costumes or traveling to regional meets. “This is dance for the sake of fun and learning to work as a group”, says Sue. “Working toward a performance is important, so we look for opportunities to perform in local parades and festivals and we expect a long-term commitment, so that the group can perfect their routines.”

On a recent Thursday night, the Palmetto Dancers were practicing a jazz and hip hop dance routine to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”. Music blared from a portable stereo on the side of the stage as the girls tirelessly twirled, kicked and posed to the beat.

As the group continues to grow and learn, Sue says that she plans to incorporate more techniques and props such as baton twirling and pom poms. “I wanted to start with the basics and then work up from there. Ultimately, we will divide up into different age groups and skill levels. That’s why we’re having the open houses, to show what we do and sign up new members.”

For now, though, the girls onstage in their matching pink T-shirts seem happy practicing and perfecting their dance moves, with only the occasional misstep or burst of giggles.

The Open Houses will be August 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. and August 23 from noon to 2 p.m. at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort Town Center; the dancers accept girls ages 4 - 18. For more information, contact palmettodancers@ gmail.com or 843-379-2787.

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

meet the mitchells

abby and patrick, and parker makes three

By Lanier Laney Abby and Patrick Mitchell were both born in Beaufort and were destined to be together. But Abby’s family moved to Columbia when she was 6 and it wasn’t until 15 years later that fate brought her back to Beaufort where she and Patrick met, fell in love and were married. Their adorable son Parker started at Beaufort Academy this week as the “Littlest Eagle” in the school’s Pre-K 2-year-old class.

Abby’s parents were both educators.

Her mom taught at Beaufort High where her dad was also a coach. They continued teaching after their move to Columbia to help Abby’s aging grandmother.

Meanwhile, back in Beaufort, Patrick — the son of Red and Marjorie Mitchell — was growing up.

Marjorie ran the popular House and Garden Gift shop on Lady’s Island along with her mother-in-law for years. Red Mitchell was president of Mitchell Brothers, Inc., a company he ran along with his brothers and cousins. Patrick joined the firm after getting a degree in Business Management from Presbyterian College. Today, Patrick, his brother Cecil and cousin Jason Hincher represent the third generation to run the company.

Abby got a degree in Early Childhood Education at Clemson and found her first teaching job back in her beloved Beaufort at Coosa Elementary where her fun spirit made her a popular teacher.

Says Abby, “I met Patrick my second year of teaching here — the rest is history!” Adding, “When Patrick asked me to marry him, he was so nervous and random with his speech, I thought he was breaking up with me.”

They just happily celebrated their

sixth anniversary together. Says Abby with a smile, “For our anniversary I gave a nod to the traditional gift of iron and had Patrick’s old golf clubs cut down to toddler size and regripped for Parker. So in actuality, I gave him a gift that wasn’t really for him — and yet he still loves me!”

Abby spent 10 years teaching multiple grades kindergarten through third at Coosa Elementary, where she was named Teacher of the Year in 2012-13. She now teaches at Beaufort Academy, and started the new school year with her son this past Monday.

“Patrick and I were sort of in a race to see who would get to Instagram Parker’s first day of school picture first. I, of course, won as I took the pictures and held them hostage until I had time to post them. I guess that shows how obsessed we are with our son,” says Abby with a laugh.

About her philosophy of teaching, Abby says, “Basically, I want my students to love coming to school

each day and have plenty of fun while learning at the same time. I only have them for a year and I want to teach them as much as I possibly can in that short amount of time.”

She adds, “The staff and students at BA are just great! It’s because of them I enjoy every second of what I do.”

Patrick also pitches in by deepfrying turkeys for Abby’s class every year for her Thanksgiving Feast.

Mitchell Brothers, Inc. is an awardwinning government contracting company that has successfully completed hundreds of projects for multiple military installations in Beaufort and the surrounding areas along with hospitals, churches and forestations. The business was started in 1946 by Patrick’s grandfather and his three brothers who had recently moved to the small, barely developed (at that time) coastal town of Lady’s Island.

Says Patrick, “I enjoy working with my brother and cousins as part of a family business that has had a

69 year history of doing things the correct way. The second generation before us worked very hard to build Mitchell Bros. up to where it is today, and put us into a successful position. I credit our great team of hard-working employees to that legacy.”

He also credits the company’s clients. “I had a smart man once tell me that in the construction business, no matter how good you are, often your success is based on the success of the clients you work for,” says Patrick. “Mitchell Brothers has been very lucky to serve many great clients throughout our history and we could not be successful without them. The United States Navy, Beaufort County School District, Beaufort County, Bluffton Fire District, BeaufortJasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, and Grayco Inc. are some of the clients we continue to enjoy working with to this day.”

As far as sports, Patrick has always been an avid golfer. Abby says her main “sport” now is strolling Parker over the bridge on weekends to visit the coffee or bagel shop.

The two are also active in the community.

wine

Let the light shine on Bella Luce

By Celia Strong

This week and next week we’re going to have to talk long distance because I am currently in Italy. The trip has made it much easier to choose our featured wines — if in Italy, think Italian.

Actually, this week’s wine is from California, but it is made by a family winery with an Italian heritage, and uses Italian grape varieties.

The winery is Ferrari-Carano, from Sonoma County. Don and his wife, Rhonda, Carano founded their winery in 1979 with an old farmhouse, a barn, and 30 acres planted with vines. In 1985, they released their first wine, a Pinot Noir. They continued to acquire more and more vineyards, over the years, and today they own more than 19 estate vineyards in five different appellations.

Good vineyards produce good grapes.

Good grapes make good wines. (Duh!) And, the Carano’s know what they have.

As they have grown and expanded their holdings, they have also expanded the variety of wines they make. Enough variety so that they have put them into categories. Our wine is in their “Italian style” category. See, there is a connection.

Our wine is a white wine, a unique blend of many different varieties that is fragrant and light and refreshing.

Because some of the grapes in this blend are new for us, I thought we could go through the list and learn a bit about each one. Here’s the whole list: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc (Bianco in Italian), Viognier, Semillon, Muscat Giallo, Riesling, Fiano Di Avellino and Pinot Grigio. But we can skip the grapes that we already know and focus on the new, unfamilar varieties.

The first new grape is Muscat Canelli.

Actually, this is one of the Muscat family of grapes that includes over 200 grapes — many of them not closely related to each other. When we look at this family, the colors of Muscat grapes range from white/green skinned (Muscat Ottonel) to yellow (Moscato Giallo) to pink (Moscato rosa del Trentino) to almost black (Muscat Hamburg).

Despite the particular skin color, all Muscat grapes, and all their wines, have a definite sweet floral aroma. The huge

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

This week’s wine is a unique blend of many different varieties that is fragrant, light and refreshing. number of different Muscat grapes does suggest that it may be the oldest of all domesticated varieties. There are even theories that most other “vitis vinifera” grapes descended from Muscat. Some say that Muscat grapes date back to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, about 3,000 to 1,000 BC. Others claim Muscat only goes as far back as the ancient Greeks, 800 BC to 600 AD. (Truly a big difference between the two time periods, but let’s face it, they’re both ancient ancient.)

The name “Muscat” has never been definitively explained. The most common theory is that it came from the Persian word “muchk.” Or the Greek “moskos,” or the Latin “muscus,” or the French “musc.” The Italian word for fly, “mosca,” is another possibility and my favorite version of the source of the grape name. Because these grapes all have aromas on the sweet side and flies are attracted to sweet things, fruit flies included, the grape name is tied to the attracted flies!

One last tidbit: In spite of the diversity in the Muscat family, a common trait in all of them is a floral, grapey aroma.

This comes from a high concentration of monoterpenes; more than 40 different monoterpenes. This same compound is also in Rieslings and Gewurztraminers.

Back to our Muscat Canelli. In fact, this is the Muscat that makes Asti Spumante in Italy, which means we have heard of it even if we haven’t drunk any lately.

“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”

The Bella Luce white wine is made by the Ferrari-Carano winery in California.

Muscat Canelli is also known by several other names. Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains (white Muscat with small berries) is a fancy French name for it. Easier and more familiar is the name Moscato. Genetically, Muscat Canelli is related to a few of the 200 other Muscats. The Muscat Canelli name is most often used on the West Coast of the United States. Even though most of the wines we may be familiar with that are made from Muscat Canelli, or Moscato, tend to be sweet, often low in alcohol, and full of grapey flavors wrapped in a musky sweetness, this variety can just as easily make dry wines. With a bit more of its sugar fermented into alcohol, the musky grapiness remains, but not the sugar. Some wineries in California challenge their visitors to expand their views and tasting experiences, sort of like we do every week.

Muscat Giallo, the second Muscat in our blend this week, is the yellow Muscat, meaning its skin is more golden colored than the Muscat Canelli. This variety grows mostly in northern Italy where it is used to make dessert wines.

The wines made from Muscat Giallo tend to be deeper shades of yellow with moderate acidity. In a blend, it can add not only color but an intensity to the whole of the flavors.

Our last — and before now unheard of — grape is Fiano. Fiano is a white Italian variety grown mostly in Campania in southern Italy and in Sicily.

It even has a DOCG wine (since 2003) that it makes in Campania. Wines from Fiano are intensely flavored and very aromatic. In blends, Fiano adds weight and body to its wines, a fuller texture and floral and honey notes with hints of spiciness.

The key to a good blend is mastering the right grapes in the right quantities. They support and balance each other that way, and the finished wine is good no matter what the pieces and parts may be.

I suspect, with most of us hanging on to dry wines as the only acceptable ones, that some of the grapes in our FerrariCarano blended wine have made us wince, or worse. But, having faith is a good thing. And we have to shine a light onto this new wine — Ferrari-Carano Bella Luce (which means “beautiful light” in Italian). This is a lighter style wine that is fragrant and refreshingly crisp, meaning dry, not sweet.

Each of the varieties used in Bella Luce is grown separately, then harvested and fermented separately. Each set of grapes is gently pressed into stainless steel tanks where they must rest for 48 hours. Each is then racked into other stainless steel tanks for a cold fermentation. There is no malolactic fermentation, so all the fresh, crisp acidity is maintained. The wine’s acidities keep all the flavors especially bright. Only now, with each wine made, are they tasted individually and then, finally, blended. Bella Luce’s flavors are Muscat, honeydew, orange, melons, peaches, pineapples, apples, cream and lemon. Cream and lemon and vanilla come in on the lingering finish.

More than anything, this wine is a nice surprise. As an apéritif, with cheeses, light salads, shellfish, appetizers, pastas with light sauces (penne with salmon in a cream sauce), sushi, spring rolls, curries — the Bella Luce is really versatile when it comes to being paired with food. So, accept the challenge, get past the old notion of Muscat, try Bella Luce, and let the light shine on you.

Available for $13.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.

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

Eating green

By Tracie Korol

Dogs are remarkably flexible in their tastes. They’ll polish off a bowl of dried dog food, then walk over to see if there’s anything tasty in the trash. If they’re still hungry, they’ll head to the laundry room to see what’s in the cat box. Basically, they’ll eat, or at least sample, whatever they find.

There’s a good reason for their liberal tastes. Unlike cats, that evolved solely as hunters, dogs survived by scavenging.

When they couldn’t catch live prey, they’d eat the ancient equivalent of road kill. They didn’t care too much if had been lying in the sun for a week or was moldering under old leaves. It was food, and they weren’t going to pass it up.

When meat wasn’t on the menu, they’d rummage around for tender leafy stalks, berries, grasses, fruits, flower blossoms, seeds and even a few roots, They simply weren’t fussy, and dogs today haven’t gotten any fussier. They’re predisposed to eat just about everything.

In addition, there’s some evidence that dogs get cravings for certain foods.

It’s possible that dogs occasionally get a hankering for greens, just as people sometimes go to bed dreaming about Mom’s fried chicken. It’s not as strange as it may sound. There is also a theory that dogs may not always be seeking food, but

are intuitively seeking medicine. Each spring, Moses, my Bassett hound friend, would pull himself along the ground, upside down underneath the pea-vine supports, and pluck the first tiny pea pods right off the vine. He had equally arcane methods for harvesting the first asparagus shoots, parsley, blueberries, mint, garlic and baby carrots. Moses ate a fairly clean diet but would occasionally need to visit the garden.

For example, in early spring, dogs like Moses, may be attracted to the first shoots of common quack grass (Elytrigia repens). Each blade of this “dog grass” contains silicon for strong joints and connective tissues, essential fatty acids for clear skin and shiny coat, enzymes for digestion, chlorophyll for antioxidant support and soap-like saponin constituents that combine with the stringy fibers to help cleanse the digestive tract and keep parasites at bay.

After a season of low grade kibble, a dog may feel his system needs a boost.

Likewise, dogs will occasionally chew on berries, bark, pods, seeds or leaves that contain healing properties.

The red or purple fruits of raspberry, rose bushes and hawthorn all contain flavonoid constituents that are good for the cardiovascular system.

The oils contained in the raw seeds of flax, currants, wheat, pumpkins and squash may be relished for an extra measure of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that are needed for skin and coat health. Pumpkin seeds are also a natural and gentle vermifuge — expels intestinal parasites.

Even certain kinds of algae (“pond scum”) contain a cornucopia of nutrients and disease-fighting chemicals that wild

dogs may seek in time of need. But how do we provide these things for our “suburban wolves”? When do they need these things and in what amount?

By serving a daily helping of nutritive herbs and “green food” at mealtime your dog will be provided added measure of nutritional or systemic support. Good “greens” are flaxseed, spirulina, garlic, dandelion root, kelp, alfalfa and nettle.

Before you “go for the green” on behalf of your Best Friend and head to the store for supplements, it is important to realize that green food supplements only serve to round out a good diet.

They cannot be expected to replace nutritional elements that are missing from poor quality, bargain basement, supermarket kibble.

But, if you’re a do-it-yourself type and are conscientious about what goes into your dog, adding a commercial green supplement or a combo-mix of the beneficial herbs or even providing your Best Friend with his own tray of barley or wheat grass can only increase his energy, shine up his coat, float some anti-cancer antioxidants in his system, reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis and tidy up his digestion.
