Kitchen fire sparks blaze at apartment A kitchen fire quickly grew out of control in a Port Royal apartment Monday, Oct. 27, causing major damage and injuring the resident, fire officials said.

The fire started when the resident at Stuart Town Apartments was frying food and the oil caught fire. Open doors fanned the flames, which quickly spread to the living areas. When firefighters arrived moments after the 6:37 p.m. alarm, flames already were climbing out of the apartment windows and the front door, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said.

The resident suffered burns to his hand, forearm and foot when he tried to carry the hot pan and oil outside of the apartment, Negron said.

“This was a very dangerous situation that could have been even more tragic in this apartment complex,” Negron

said. “Residents quickly reported the fire and we had firefighters on the scene within minutes, working hard to extinguish the flames.”

Beaufort County EMS treated the resident for minor burns. Firefighters remained on the scene until about 10 p.m. and contained fire and smoke damage to just the one apartment. An adjacent unit suffered minor water damage.

To combat the fire, 23 firefighters including a crew from Burton fire district worked at the apartment complex near Ribaut Road. That included four fire engines and three squads with support from the Burton Fire District.

“The best way to avoid injury is to leave! Get everyone out of the house and call 911,” Negron said. After calling 911, and if the fire seems very small, some techniques for extinguishing a kitchen fire include turning off the heat, smothering the flames with a lid, or using a fire extinguisher or agent such as baking soda. Never use water on a grease fire, he said.

Another contributing factor to the fire was open doors. The resident apparently left both front and rear doors open as he escaped the house. The flow of oxygen pumped up the fire and helped it grow into the attic spaces via the eaves.

THE RETURN TO INNOCENCE

By Ifetayo White

In the mid-90’s the German musical group, Enigma, recorded one of my favorite tunes, “The Return to Innocence”. With haunting chanting as a background, the lead singer pulls us in with these lyrics: That’s not the beginning of the end That’s the return to yourself The return to innocence...

Don’t be afraid to be weak Don’t be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence.

The invitations offered to us in this song are awesome — return to yourself, don’t be afraid, don’t be too proud, look into your heart.

The return to innocence is a symbolic phrase referred to by psyche healing professionals to as the place on the journey to wholeness where a person has unlocked passion for his life and, subsequently, lives his purpose.

Returning to innocence is literally coming back to myself who is free to

be who I feel and know I am within my heart. Returning to innocence requires the courage to allow breakthroughs to bubble up in awareness. It asks Ifetayo for the removal of the White masks and costumes we have donned in order to be accepted or appreciated. It requests that we risk living our truth in the face of being misunderstood or judged.

Returning to innocence may ask us to let die the part of our ego which is attached to security.

I remember a time when my older daughter was in the final semester of her sophomore year in a science and technology magnet high school. She had been pursuing the science track in her program with great success. One day at work I received a tearful phone call from her. She poured her heart out to me that she was miserable in school and had been for most of the year. She hated her

science program but was worried about disappointing me by saying so. She felt that I had dreams of her becoming a pediatrician! I assured her that I was only supporting what I thought was her vision for her future. She revealed that she was interested in switching to the technology program where she would study such subjects as set design and woodworking. She had always loved creating things from her vision and with her hands. In college she majored in film and had a minor in journalism.

Today she is living her passion as a T.V. documentary film writer and producer.

When we come to the time in our lives when we can no longer live someone else’s dream and where the compelling

to JUST BE ME is so strong, actions of tremendous courage might be called for.

Often the fears that arise in the face of these requests will feel insurmountable.

The lyrics to the song remind us to not be afraid to be weak and to not be so proud to be strong. Seeking the support and guidance of someone who lives a life of innocence, of freedom, is always a wise choice.

The song continues: If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don’t hide Just believe in destiny Don’t care what people say Just follow your own way Don’t give up and lose the chance To return to innocence.

Maintain eye health with diabetes

By Mark S. Siegel

Diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin effectively to control blood sugar (glucose) levels. Although glucose is an important source of energy for the body’s cells, too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause damage in many parts of the body, including the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and the small blood vessels in the eyes.

When the blood vessels in the eye’s retina (the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye) swell, leak or close off completely — or if abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Medical Director, Sea Island Ophthalmology

www. seaislandophthalmology.com

retina — it is called diabetic retinopathy.

People who are at greater risk of developing diabetic retinopathy are those who have diabetes or poor blood sugar control, women who are pregnant, and people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids or both. Also, people

who are from certain ethnic groups, such as African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans, are more likely to develop diabetic retinopathy. In fact, a new study confirms that diabetes is a top risk factor for vision loss among Hispanics.

Something to remember: diabetes can cause vision in your eyes to change even if you do not have retinopathy. If your blood sugar levels change quickly, it can affect the shape of your eye’s lens, causing blurry vision, which goes back to normal after your blood sugar stabilizes.

Therefore, it’s important not to change your glasses prescription unless your

blood sugar levels are normal.

Did you know there is also a link between diabetes and cataracts?

Permanent blurring of vision due to cataracts can also result from changes to the lens due to excess blood sugar.

Cataract surgery may be necessary to remove lenses that are clouded by the effects of diabetes and replace them with clear intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision.

Maintaining good control of your blood sugar helps reduce episodes of temporary blurred vision and prevent the permanent clouding of the lens that would require surgery to correct.

Cosmetic surgeon to present free seminar The holidays are right around the corner, and we all want to look our best for festive gatherings. It’s the perfect time to talk about some quick fixes that will have you sparkling in time for the season. Pinnacle Plastic Surgery is hosting a free seminar “Ditch the Downtime with Fabulous Quick Fixes” on Wednesday, November 12 at 5 p.m. at the Lakehouse in Sun City.

Dr. Audrey Klenke, the area’s only female cosmetic surgeon, founded Pinnacle Plastic Surgery in Bluffton’s Sheridan Park

just over a year ago. She is on the medical staff of both Beaufort Memorial and Hilton Head hospitals.

Dr. Klenke’s seminar will include information about several easy in-office treatments, such as Botox and the ever popular selection of dermal fillers. “In the office, we use products like JUVÉDERM® and VOLUMA™ that come in a prepackaged tube and are very safe to use.

Fillers add volume to your face and help smooth out some of those fine lines and

wrinkles. Fillers also add back volume where we lose it over time,” says Dr. Klenke.

Other seminar topics will include PhotoRejuvenation, HydraFacial, and Dr. Audrey Klenke VersaPulse to treat spider veins.

“Plastic surgery is an accessible resource for many people today and I want to make

elective options easier to consider,” said Dr. Klenke.

There will be a meet and greet reception with the doctor at 5 p.m., followed by the seminar at 5:30 p.m. The seminar is free and open to the public, both Sun City residents and non-residents, but RSVP are required as seating is limited. Call Pinnacle Plastic Surgery at 843-815-6699 or by visit their website at PinnaclePlasticSurgeryMD. com for information or to reserve.

musings from the therapist’s chair

When you are drowning, it’s not time to learn to swim. When you are in crisis, you need to triage your situation. If you are suicidal, get to the ER to be evaluated.

If you are depressed to the point of losing all interest in things, open up to a trusted friend or see a counselor. Find the source of the problem, then learn, in incremental steps, to swim. Benton Lutz is a psychotherapist in private practice in Beaufort.

SCFB President David Winkles said, “We are thankful to have such dedicated women in the Farm Bureau. Without their enthusiasm and commitment, SCFB would not be able to have the far-reaching influence it has. So far this year, these women have put in more than 7,000 hours of purpose activities around the state. We are extremely proud their accomplishments.”

Farm Bureau Women at county, state, and national levels coordinate agricultural education and promotional activities. Their work includes supporting important family and agricultural legislation, youth programs, educational activities, leadership development and commodity promotions.

Prepare for a frosty November ... brrr!

By Susan Stone

Well, November certainly came in with a blast! Brrrrrr! With 40 mile an hour winds and temperatures in the upper thirties, our beloved plants found it as much of a shock as we did.

November marks the beginning of frosty nights and cooler days, a very welcome change after a hot summer for many of us. As shocking as it feels to us, just think of our plants unable to move out of the wind or protect themselves from the frost. They need our help!

Over the years I have seen some pretty creative methods used to keep plants from freezing to death. The obvious is to move them some place warm, which is fine if you have the room and the sunlight to support them. But what if you don’t? Or what if they’re planted directly in the ground?

Here are a few tips to help you save your favorites: • If you have a shed or outbuilding to store plants, a single incandescent bulb will generate enough heat to keep temperatures above freezing. Obviously, the larger the shed, the more lights. The more airtight, the better the heat stays in. Simply adding some plastic sheeting

“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; and above all it teaches entire trust.” Gertrude Jekyll

to walls and drafty windows will go a long way to insulate the building inexpensively.

• Create a cold frame for your favorite smaller plants by making a plastic tent.

There are many simple do it yourself ideas on line. Adding a brick or paver floor will absorb heat by day and keep the plants warm at night. You can also use an incandescent light, but please use fixtures that are rated for “outdoor use”, to avoid electric shock and tripping circuit breakers.

• For the plants you cannot move, try the old-fashioned Christmas lights. It’s a good time of year to find them in the store. You want the large bulb string lights. They get good and warm! You can string them on the plant or simply lay them on the ground around the

base of the plant, then cover with a bed sheet. I avoid using plastic for obvious reasons around anything warm.

• Using sheets to protect your palms; The Sagos are especially sensitive to frost.

I usually only cover the heart, or the center of the palm to protect next year’s growth. I have found that it doesn’t matter if you cover the whole plant once the temperatures get below freezing.

Large plants such as bananas and palms will rebound from most Southern winters. Last year was particularly cold and damage from freezing was wide spread, but once the “ugly” was pruned away, most of the plants did very well over the summer.

Frost is good for your winter crops.

It seems to sweeten the greens, so don’t worry about broccoli and collards, they’ll

be just fine. Lettuce is more sensitive so you may want to harvest just before a frost forecast. Lettuce doesn’t ripen, it just gets bigger, so you can pick at any time.

From now until April, the pendulum will swing back and forth; warm to cool and perhaps even hot to cold and back to hot again. So enjoy this beautiful season of changing colors and changing days. It is a rich time of year in the Lowcountry!

Remember, your Number 1 defense against cold damage is hydration. I hear people debating all the time, water or don’t water? The jury is in — Water your plants!

community spirit award

lady’s island business and professional association recognizes fred and doti wilson Each year the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association (LIBPA) presents a Community Spirit Award to a individual or business that has made a significant contribution to the community in the past year. On very special occasions the contributions to the community of a husband and wife performed over a lifetime are of such merit that together the couple is recognized with a Lifetime Community Spirit Award. Such is the case with Lady’s Island residents and long-time LIBPA members Fred and Doti Wilson.

Fred, who is an ordained minister in the United Lutheran Church, completed 30 years of service in the Air Force as a military chaplain during which time he and his wife Doti raised their two daughters and moved 15 times.

Fred and Doti Wilson

Upon retirement in 1985, after three decades of service to our country, they chose Lady’s Island as their home and, once settled, began contributing to the community. Fred served as an interim pastor at six churches while Doti volunteered to help the Beaufort Friends of the Library. Soon the Friends of the Library volunteer effort became a

family team effort and together, in various capacities, they have each given more than 20 years of service in support of the Beaufort library. For many years Fred was one of the driving forces behind the collection, organizing and display of books for the annual Friends of the Library book sales.

While Fred was on active duty, Doti began serving as a

the island news | november 6-12, 2014 | www.yourislandnews.com

as a member of the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and upon arrival in Beaufort, along with several others, established a VITA site which she has supported each tax season for the past 20 years. Her other volunteer activities have included service as a Literacy Volunteer of the Lowcountry at Beaufort Elementary, support of the annual Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) fundraiser, participation in the American Red Cross blood drives and charity gift wrapping at Belk.

In addition to their many contributions to the community, they are very active in their support of St. John’s Lutheran Church where Fred has served as the supply pastor for Lowcountry churches, initiated the use of the Labyrinth (a

form of Christian prayer and devotion), conducted the prayer program during Holy Week while Doti cuts, sews and stuffs cloth animals for the emergency room at Beaufort Memorial.

Each Easter they erect and decorate a 14-foot Chrismon Cross with hand-made symbols of Christ.

As a result of their many exceptional acts of generosity over a lifetime of service to both our country and our community, Fred and Doti Wilson will be recognized as recipients of the Lifetime Community Spirit Award at the November 11 meeting of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association. In keeping with their request, in lieu of a plaque of recognition, a contribution in their honor will be made by LIBPA to the charity of their choice.

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

USCB to conduct emerging artists competition The University of South Carolina Beaufort will conduct its 2014 Emerging Artists Competition on Friday, Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Center for the Arts on the Beaufort Campus.

High school juniors and seniors from public and private secondary schools throughout South Carolina and neighboring counties in Georgia and North Carolina have been invited to submit works of art for consideration by a panel of judges drawn from the university’s faculty in the Studio Art program. The works may represent painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, ceramics and media arts.

This will be the fourth annual competition for young artists throughout the region. In previous years, more than

100 entries were submitted, 40 of which were accepted for consideration.

This year’s panel of judges consists of Lisa Victoria Ciresi, Ph.D., associate professor of the History of Art and coordinator of the annual competition.

She is aided by fellow judges Brian Glaze, M.F.A., assistant professor of Art and coordinator of the Studio Art program at USCB; Christopher Maraffi, assistant professor of Media Arts and USCB’s newest hire for the program, and Eliot Joanna Angell, M.F.A., instructor.

The day’s events will begin at 10 a.m. when the young artists arrive on campus. For the next hour, they may tour the Sea Islands Center Gallery on Carteret Street, where many of their submitted artworks are on display, as

well as the university’s facilities for the Studio Art program and the Center for the Arts, both located on USCB’s Beaufort campus. Lunch outdoors will follow at noon.

Topher Maraffi will deliver the keynote address. An artist-animator, educator and technical author, Maraffi’s research interests involve computational performatology, an arts approach to designing performative embodied agents for procedural character animation.

“We created this event as a means of encouraging emerging artists to pursue the arts in the hope that they will come to a university with a program in art and be able to excel with the proper direction,” Dr. Ciresi says. “It’s also a big recruitment opportunity for us. It raises

Jane Culley and Scherra Wallace Flood visited Mr. Shipsey and Mrs. Rooney’s classes recently at Lady’s Island Middle School and talked to the students about what it was like growing up as a junior high school student around 1960. Students were preparing to interview family and community members.

BEAUFORT HIGH • Beaufort High students received a rare treat when they talked (via Skype) with author and Holocaust survivor Sidney Finkel. Their teacher, Brandi Van Gorder, introduced Mr. Finkel’s memoir to them as part of their English curriculum regarding collectivism vs. individualism. After learning some historical background information on the Holocaust, students read Finkel’s book, “Sevek and the Holocaust, the Boy Who Refused to Die.” They were uniformly touched by his struggles to survive the horrors he experienced in Buchenwald concentration camp, and his drive to build a new life after liberation. Students gained a new understanding of this period of history by being able to talk “face to face” with a person who actually experienced it. Several history classes also were part of the Skype interview.

SCHOOL DISTRICT The Beaufort County School District held ground-breaking ceremonies last week for the construction of May River High School, a ninth through 12th-grade school in the New Riverside area of Bluffton.

The future home of the May River “Sharks” — school colors of royal blue, black and silver — is planned to be open for the 2016-17 school year with a projected enrollment of 900 students. The building’s capacity is 1,400 students.

“This is such an exciting time of growth for our district and our county,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss, “Our team will work hard to stay on time and on budget as we build a cutting-edge school to serve our students and the Bluffton community.”

The new high school will be built with energy conservation features and a full suite of athletic facilities, and it is designed to accommodate use by the general community. The high school’s academic offerings will include an array of Career and Technical Education (CATE) courses.

Delaney named Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week After making a pair of key plays to thwart Mercer scoring attempts, Citadel redshirt freshman cornerback DeVonta Delaney has been named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

With The Citadel leading 28-10 in the third quarter, Delaney, from Seabrook, ended a Mercer scoring drive when he intercepted a pass at the Bulldog oneyard line. That was his second pickoff of the season after grabbing one at Western Carolina the previous week.

His most important effort came late in the fourth quarter after the Bears scored a touchdown to pull within 28-26. Mercer attempted a trick play on the two-point conversion, with wide receiver Chandler Curtis taking a pitch and attempting a pass back to quarterback John Russ.

Delaney, a Whale Branch High School graduate, moved into position to make the play, and his leaping deflection of the Curtis pass preserved The Citadel’s lead. The Bulldogs got the ensuing kickoff and gained three first downs to run out the remaining 3:31.

Delaney also had three tackles in the game, giving him a season total of 34 including highs of six against Florida State, Chattanooga and Western Carolina.

The Bulldogs will return to Johnson Hagood Stadium this Saturday for their annual Homecoming game against Furman at 2 p.m.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘last day in vietnam’ The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Last Day in Vietnam” on Monday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.

During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as South Vietnamese resistance crumbles. The United States has only a skeleton crew of diplomats and military operatives still in the country. As Communist victory becomes inevitable and the U.S. readies to withdraw, some Americans begin to consider the certain imprisonment and possible death of their South Vietnamese allies, coworkers, and friends. Meanwhile, the prospect of an official evacuation of

South Vietnamese becomes terminally delayed by Congressional gridlock and the inexplicably optimistic U.S. Ambassador. With the clock ticking and the city under fire, a number of heroic Americans take matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many South Vietnamese lives as possible.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902.

Contact the box office at 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.

arts & entertainment artist of the month at Thibault gallery on bay street

David M. Shipper presents ‘art on the wild side’ “I watched in amazement as images appeared on the blank photographic paper as Dad would dip the sheets from one chemical bath to another. The whole darkroom process was intriguing, and I can still remember the feelings of awe and excitement that would come over me when the picture magically appeared.”

And so began David Shipper’s interest in photography. As a child, he would hang out with his father in the home darkroom watching his dad as he developed film and made prints.

Following in his father’s footsteps, David loves taking pictures and that love seems to run in the family. His sister and brother are both excellent photographers and even his youngest son seems to have inherited the trait, leading David to joke that perhaps this phenomenon is a result of his father’s exposure to darkroom chemicals.

Growing up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, David spent countless hours hiking, canoeing, hunting and fishing in the Zigzag Range of the Ouachita Mountains.

Through these youthful adventures, he developed a deep appreciation and respect for the environment and wildlife. As a result, David chose to pursue a career outdoors and received a degree in Wildlife

David Shipper specializes in wildlife and nature photography and his work will be on display at Thibault Gallery throughout the month of November.

Conservation from Louisiana Tech University.

David and his wife, Leigh, moved to Beaufort in 1983 and immediately fell in love with the area. With the Lowcountry’s abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery providing endless inspiration, David’s interest

in photography naturally gravitated towards his other passions: nature, wildlife and the outdoors. It was his mother’s love of hummingbirds however, that spurred his special interest in bird photography. David can often be found exploring one of the many local wildlife management areas in search of his next

great photographic opportunity.

Although the darkroom has been replaced by a computer and film by a memory card, David still gets that same smile on his face developing a digital image as he did in the darkroom with his dad so many years ago.

Drawing from his experience with film, David’s approach to bird and wildlife photography is to capture the moment with the camera, not create it in the computer. His patience, perseverance and attention to detail is evident in his work and he gets great pleasure creating the perfect photograph that captures the art in nature.

In Beaufort, David’s work is shown exclusively at Thibault Gallery, voted best art gallery in Beaufort. David will be at the gallery November 7 for First Friday After Five to meet customers, and he would love to show his work to all who come to the gallery that night.

Stop by and see his “wild” works of art!

Also, this month for the First Friday After Five is themed “A Night of Giving”.

Each business will be sponsoring a non-profit. Thibault Gallery will be sponsoring HELP of Beaufort. They are in need of canned soup so people to bring in canned soup throughout the month of November.

jazz and a very contemporary surprise.

Dessert will be served The Lowcountry Chorale is a 30 plus member chorus of local singers, a

noted director and accomplished piano accompanist. Nearly 20 years in the making, the chorale is now under the direction of its third baton, Alan Latham.

Gloria Bockeman has tickled the ivories since 2007. A non-audition group, The Lowcountry Chorale excels in blending the SATB format into one exceptional voice. Each performance exceeds the previous and the sound is one that any lover of music should not miss.

Church hosts final free organ concert in fall series Johan Hermans of Hasselt, Belgium, will present the final organ concert in the fall series at noon on Friday, Nov. 7 at the Parish Church of St. Helena, 505 Church St. in downtown Beaufort.

Johan Hermans has performed throughout the world, including Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris; the Cathedrals of Canterbury and Lincoln in England; the Cadet Chapel at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y; two concert tours in South America; and festival performances in Ballarat, Australia.

He has made recordings for radio and TV broadcasting corporations worldwide, including Motette-Ursina, Sony Belgium and Pavane Records. His repertoire includes works from the 14th to the 21st centuries. His recording

of the newly restored historic organ of Hasselt Cathedral was published in the CD series“Flemish Organ Treasures.”

He studied at the Lemmens Institute in Louvain and the Royal Conservatory of Liège, Belgium, receiving the Diplôme Supérieur (Doctor of Musical Arts) in Organ Performance. He teaches Organ Performance and Keyboard Harmony at the Municipal Academy of Genk and the Conservatory of Hasselt, Belgium, where he is Civic Organist and Cathedral Organist of St. Quintinus Cathedral.

He will perform on the Parish Church of St. Helena’s historic Taylor & Boody organ. The Taylor & Boody organ at St. Helena’s is modern (installed in the church in 1985), yet reminiscent of organ-building practices used

during the “golden age” of organ building and organ music, reached in Europe between 1600 and 1750. The twomanual organ has 19 stops and more than 1,150 pipes housed in a beautifully crafted oak case.

The annual fall and spring concert series are funded by private donations from parishioners and music lovers all over the Lowcountry. To become a Friend of Music at St. Helena’s, send your tax-deductible gift to: Music at St. Helena’s The Parish Church of St. Helena, P.O. Box 1043, Beaufort, SC 29901.

A weekend of magic at ARTworks Magician Gary Maurer is not what he seems. If one man can embody illusion and surprise, then Maurer fits the bill. Gary and his wife Kim, live in a pleasantly allAmerican house on a cul de sac in a planned community in Bluffton. Teenage kids toss a football around, lawns are green, and seasonal knick knacks decorate porches.

The only hint that the Maurer’s house may be different is that cars are parked in the driveway, instead of the garage. As, yes, but presto-change-o, open the garage door and you step into an entirely different world. The room is stacked floor to ceiling with magic props and ingredients for illusions of all shapes and sizes. From top hats to swords meant to turn a box filled with a beautiful lady into a living pincushion, to everything in between. The only thing you won’t find in this garage are the English Angora rabbits which are part of the show. They are treasured family pets and have their own enclosure where they live and happily produce “the best lawn fertilizer you can imagine”, according to Maurer. And there you have it, high and low, familiar and strange, magical and domestic all at once — very much like Maurer’s show, Bamboozled, which is coming to ARTworks this weekend.

“Bamboozled is a cabaret-style magic show”, says Maurer. “It’s a show that combines magic, mentalism and comedy for an older crowd. Younger children can attend, but they may not understand all of the content of the show.” To be bamboozled is defined as “to be entertained, tricked, confused, or puzzled” and Maurer attempts to cover all the bases as he segues from card tricks and sleight of hand, to larger

Magician Gary Maurer

Broadway-style illusions, and audience participation segments. Dubbed South Carolina’s “Magician of the Year” in 2010, Maurer focuses on entertainment as much as illusion, interjecting comedy and banter into every routine.

As fascinating as the stage show is, the back stage story is equally as interesting. Until age 35, Gary Maurer was an ordinary teacher in Allentown, Pa. In 1986, while attending a convention he saw a presenter use magic to get his point across and thought it was something he could in the classroom to get his students’ attention.

“Well, once I got the magic bug, it didn’t stop. I joined local magic associations and attended lectures by nationally and internationally known magicians”, says Maurer.

How did his wife, Kim, react to this? She became his assistant, of course. The pair, along with their son Dustin, relocated to the Lowcountry in 2002, where Maurer has been performing regularly at Coligny Plaza, the Salty Dog, and other tourist destinations around Hilton Head.

“I’ve been looking for a chance to do a full length show like Bamboozled, though, with more sophisticated material and some of my favorite illusions,” says Maurer. “Although, we’ll also be doing a Sunday matinee family show that kids can enjoy, too.”

If you go: Bamboozled will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8.

A Family Magic Show will be presented on Sunday, November 9 at 3 p.m. Performances are at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza. Tickets are $17 each for adults and $15 for children under 12 and active duty military. Tickets can be purchased online at www. beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling: 843-379-2787.

Urban sophistication at Red Piano Too The Red Piano Too Art Gallery’s Annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit featuring Mississippi artist Eric Jones in an exhibit titled “Urban Sophistication” will open with a Meet the Artist Reception on November 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will continue for the month of November.

Eric will be in the gallery on Saturday, November 8 as well.

Eric Lamar Jones was born July 6, 1977 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he currently resides. During his thirty-something years, however, he lived in Atlanta, New York, Washington, DC, and New Orleans.

He has worked as a carpenter, studio assistant, maintenance man and insurance agent. His journey as an artist began at his brother’s art gallery in Atlanta. That experience made the idea of being an artist realistic and sustainable.

Describing himself as a selftaught artist but also a protégé of

his late brother and mentor, William Tolliver, Eric attended the William Tolliver School of Fine Arts and worked as a studio assistant for Tolliver over a period of several years.

As he has aged, his passion for art has continued unchecked. He has obtained more knowledge and skill in the arts with every passing year.

The subject matter of Eric’s oil on canvas and pastel/acrylic works on paper are African American figures involved in the activities of daily life: working, loving, playing, music, and just living. Stylized, sometimes cubist, freestyle, the way they embody the emotion of the activity evokes the iconic or mythic. Eric embodies a futuristic and contemporary style to his artwork.

Eric’s works are strikingly reminiscent of that of his late brother, the highly accomplished artist William Tolliver. Red Piano Too Gallery owner Mary Mack says

of the brothers, “I first met William Tolliver many years ago in the New Orleans, La., Gallery Royale and immediately knew I had to own one of his works — what a surprise to come across the works of his brother Eric Jones in 2010. I was struck by their stylistic similarity — especially the beautiful abstract/cubist jazz musicians painted by both William and Eric.”

The Red Piano Too annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit is free and open to the public. The Meet the Artist opening reception is scheduled for Friday, November 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The gallery is located at 870 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920.

Award-winning author to hold book signing Blessed with an innate optimism and a magical childhood, Elisabeth Belle Sterling discovers that the path to happily-ever-after love is not as easily obtained as she had always imagined.

The Camelot-like love she longs for seems like only a dream until she meets the handsome Kincaid Patterson, a West Point graduate who carries a dark secret from his past. Theirs is a passionate and unconditional love that has to confront a painful past, heartsearing separation, and the greatest of all tragedies. But the biggest obstacle is the loss of faith that threatens to undermine all that they have. Set in the South in the 1960s and ‘70s against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, “Save My Place” is a beautifully written love story of two people who search deep within their souls to save each other through their love and devotion.

This is Olivia DeBelle Byrd’s second book and first novel. “Save My Place” (Mercer University Press 2014) is a

beautiful love story, commendable in its ability to portray the best of human nature amid dire circumstances. The author will be holding a “Stories and Sweets” event at McIntosh Book Shoppe from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8.

“Save My Place” is the story of Elisabeth’s meeting and marrying her beloved Kincaid, and the evolution of

their married life even as difficulties arise.

Elisabeth’s jaunty voice lifts us, along with herself and Kincaid, through seemingly unbearable situations.

Upon meeting her, Kincaid exclaims, “You strike me as a very entertaining

person.” Indeed, Elisabeth’s ability to find humor and joy amid sorrows, such as Kincaid’s deployment to fight in the Vietnam War, enlightens us about a powerful source of resiliency.

Still, Elisabeth is a realist. Though she wishes to abide in Peter Pan’s Neverland existence, and has a “magic door inside ... that kept all the ills of the world at bay,” the door comes ajar.

When their child is diagnosed with leukemia, Elizabeth’s indomitable spirit eventually allows her to engage in life and assist her husband in doing the same.

Olivia DeBelle Byrd has created an admiral character for readers to appreciate in “Save My Place.” Her first book of personal essays, “Miss Hilbreth Wore Brown,” was the Silver Medal winner of the 2011 Florida Publishers Association President’s Book Awards.

McIntosh Book Shoppe is located on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. For details, call 524-1066.

He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his indifference to promoting his own work. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject — himself.

Last Day in Vietnam

Monday Night is Movie Night at the CFA November 10 at 7 PM During the chaotic final days of the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese Army closes in on Saigon as South Vietnamese resistance crumbles. The United States has only a skeleton crew of diplomats and military operatives still in the country.

As Communist victory becomes inevitable and the U.S. readies to withdraw, some Americans begin to consider the certain imprisonment and possible death of their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends. Meanwhile, the prospect of an official evacuation of South Vietnamese becomes terminally delayed by Congressional gridlock and the inexplicably optimistic U.S. Ambassador. With the clock ticking and the city under fire, a number of heroic Americans take matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many South Vietnamese lives as possible.

• Poison Pen Mystery Book Club: Enjoy a discussion of mysteries over refreshments. For November, we’re reading “A Morbid Taste for Bones”

by Ellis Peters. In the remote Welsh mountain village of Gwytherin lies the grave of Saint Winifred. Now, in 1137, the ambitious head of Shrewsbury Abbey has decided to acquire the sacred remains for his Benedictine order. Native Welshman Brother Cadfael is sent on the expedition to translate and finds the rustic villagers of Gwytherin passionately divided by the Benedictine’s offer for the saint’s relics.

Canny, wise, and all too wordly, he isn’t surprised when this taste for bones leads to bloody murder. The leading opponent to moving the grave has been shot dead with a mysterious arrow, and some say Winifred herself held the bow.

Brother Cadfael knows a carnal hand did the killing. But he doesn’t know that his plan to unearth a murderer may dig up a case of love and justice...where the wages of sin may be scandal or Cadfael’s own ruin.

Yoga instructors present ‘Grateful Hearts’ YMCA and Beaufort area yoga instructors are coming together Saturday, November 22, from 1-5 p.m. at the YMCA of Beaufort County, 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal, to offer “Grateful Hearts,” an afternoon of yoga directly benefitting those in need this Thanksgiving holiday.

Sponsored by the YMCA of Beaufort County and Holy Yoga Beaufort, the event aims to support the efforts of “The Giving” — an annual community-wide, multichurch effort to provide Thanksgiving meals to those in need. Four yoga classes will be offered, each with variations on the theme of gratefulness and thanksgiving. The event is open to

the public as well as YMCA members.

Participants are asked to bring nonperishable Thanksgiving food items for a family of four or $20 and can choose to participate in one or all yoga classes offered.

“The practice of yoga goes well beyond the mat,” said Registered Holy Yoga Instructor Carrie Carper. “The yoga community as a whole is a loving, giving and helpful one, and it is no surprise that this event came together as quickly as it did. Yoga is a way of life, and this event is one example of how our practice can be taken off our mats and directly into the community around us.”

The schedule of yoga offerings is: • 1:15-2 p.m.: All Levels Yoga with

Carol Morrissey — “I am Thankful for You.” • 2:15-3 p.m.: Hatha yoga with Sally Moona — “Blessings from the Sun to the Moon.”

• 3:15-4 p.m.: Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Ashlee Marcy — “Overflowing with Gratitude.”

• 4:15-5 p.m.: Holy Yoga with Carrie Carper — “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself.”

Suggested donations are frozen turkeys, potatoes, canned yams, green beans, cranberry sauce, and rolls.

Items collected will be distributed Monday, November 24, at the YMCA to families referred by charitable agencies.

wine

Now we are going to Zin

By Celia Strong

“Forgive me for I have Zinned.” This clever phrase shows up on T-shirts and other souvenirs sold where Zinfandel wines are made. For us, it just means we are going to learn about a new red Zinfandel because red Zins can be a great choice for Thanksgiving and other holiday dinners. Thanksgiving is particularly well suited to these wines because they are a uniquely American wine, maybe, just like Thanksgiving is our unique holiday.

Zinfandel is a red variety that is planted in about 10 percent of California vineyards. It is used to make two different types of wine — a robust red and a sweet-ish style blush (pink) wine. It can be hard to believe that one grape does both. The exact flavors and textures, and even alcohol level, of any particular Zinfandel wine, red ones only here, depends a lot on where the grapes are grown. From cooler areas, they show more red fruit flavors. From warmer climates, the wines so more black fruit flavors and spicyness.

The history of Zinfandel has been a difficult to pinpoint where it came from and when it developed. And, it seems to have several names. There is archaeological evidence that “vitis vinifera” vines existed in 6,000 BC in the Caucasus region, an area between Europe and Asia, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. From here, vine growing spread to the Mediterranean and Europe, and winemaking, which obviously follows vine growing, too. Croatia is thought to have had indigenous grapes, for longer than anywhere else, several of them related somehow to our current Zinfandel. All of these old varieties were wiped out by phylloxera in the second half of the 19th century. What was left were nine vines, discovered in 2001, on the Dalmatian coast, one of the “parents” for Zinfandel as we know it today.

“Primitivo” is another name closely tied to Zinfandel. This is an Italian name that first appeared in an Italian publication in the 1870’s. Because the “Primitvo” name showed up for the first time 40 years after the “Zinfandel” name was first used, it was thought for a while that Primitivo came to Italy from United States vineyards. Finding the nine vines

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

in Croatia, though, meant adjusting this theory. Now it is thought that Primitvo was introduced into Italy in the 18th century. The name “Primativo” is related to the Italian words for early or first. The variety ripens early.

Zinfandel’s journey to the United States, and California in particular, was long and circuitous. The Imperial Nursery in Vienna, Austria, probably got their hands on some vines from Croatia when the Habsburg Monarchy ruled over Croatia. A Long Island, N.Y., horticulturist, George Gibbs, received shipments of grape vines from Schönbrunn and other European sources, between 1820 and 1829. “Black Zinfandel of Hungary” may have been one of the grapes that went to Long Island. Possibly, the name “Zinfandel” at this time was derived from the word “tzinifándli,” a Hungarian name for another grape. Anyhow, in 1830, Gibbs traveled to Boston and soon Samuel Perkins of Boston was selling “zendendal.” A similar variety, Black St. Peters, was also supplied by Gibbs, but it was said to have come from England where many vines had “St. Peters” in their names. The Black St. Peters arrived in California in the 1850’s, and was called Zinfandel in the 1870’s.

The California Gold Rush, in the 1850’s, brought many people from across the country. The first California Zinfandel wine may have been made

by Joseph W. Osborne. He had planted grapes in Napa in his Oak Knoll vineyard. In 1857, Osborne’s Zinfandel wine was highly praised and plantings of the grape spread rapidly. At the end of the 19th century, it was the most planted variety in California. It is some of these vines, that weren’t torn out during Prohibition, that are now making highly valued Old Vine Zinfandel wines.

After Prohibition, and the Depression, the California wine industry was extremely weak. Zinfandel became

“A Health Savings Account could be a very good idea for you”

obscure, used, if at all, for fortified wines. It wasn’t until the middle of the 20th century that reports of a “fascinating California grape” started to circulate. Zinfandel was described as “California’s own red grape.” But, science reared its head and in 1967, a University of California at Davis professor, Austin Goheen, visited Italy and noticed how closely Primitivo wines resembled Zinfandel wines. In 1968, Primitivo was brought to California, and the two grapes were declared identical in 1972. In 1975, a PhD student, Wade Wolfe, showed that the two varieties had identical isozyme fingerprints. In 1976, it was suggested to Goheen that Primitivo was the Croatian variety “Plavic Mali.” By 1982, Goheen had proven they were similar but not identical. Some Croatians, though, still wanted to believe that Plavic Mali was the same as Zinfandel. In 1991, some Croatian-born California winemakers, including Mike Grgich, formed ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) to promote Zinfandel wines and to fund scientific research on it.

Professor Carole Meredith went to Croatia and collected 150 samples of Plavic Mali. In 1993, Meredith used DNA fingerprinting to confirm Primtivo and Zinfandel were clones of

the same variety. By 1998, Meredith had established that Primitivo/Zinfandel was actually one of the parents of Plavic Mali. Finally, in 2001, when the nine vines were found, and tests were run, it was found that Crljenak Kaštelanski is Primitivo/Zinfandel in its original home.

All of which gets us to the questions “what’s in our bottles and what’s on their labels?” Naturally, laws are not as quick to change as they might be.

As of 1999, the European Union has recognized Zinfandel as a synonym for Primitivo. Italian Primitivos can be labeled Zinfandel for sale in the United States or any other country that accepts EU label laws, including the U.S. In 2007, our Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau listed both Zinfandel and Primitivo as approved grapes for American wines. But, not that they are synonyms. In 2002, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms proposed that the two names be recognized as synonyms.

Our wine this week is Kenwood Jack London Zinfandel from Sonoma Mountain. Kenwood Vineyards was established in 1970 on the site of the Pagani Brothers Winery that dated back to 1906. Kenwood owns almost 25 acres plus sources grapes from many other growers, most of them sustainably grown or organically grown. They do make several levels of wines, the Jack London being particularly good. These grapes come from the Sonoma Mountain AVA, which has red volcanic soil that makes for exceptionally fruity wines. This wine has raspberry and fig flavors and vanilla and white pepper notes. Good tannins, but smooth and elegant in your mouth and a long, lovely, lingering finish. It is aged 19 months in French and American oak barrels and is 94 percent Zinfandel with 6 percent Syrah.

Why is Jack London’s name attached to this wine? Because the author once lived on Sonoma Mountain, on the land where some of these grapes actually grow. For years, too, his grandson lived in Jack’s old house on the mountain surrounded by Kenwood vines. Maybe, instead of saying we’re going to Zin, we should be saying “The Call of the Wild” is in our glasses. For $20.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.

The new shorthand

When I was in high school, my father had a secretary who would take shorthand and then type up his letters. For those of you that don’t recall this antiquated practice, there is a definition supplied by Wikipedia. “Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of writing as compared to a normal method of writing a language.”

Welcome to the 21st century and the new art of shorthand called texting.

I never learned shorthand, but I have found myself having to learn the new abbreviated language. It began with my cellphone carrier and its Directory Assistance texts. These texts gave me not only the telephone number, but the business name, the address and map directions to get to the business.

Along with these texts came a new

phrase for me. “Data chgs apply” which meant that I better check out my phone bill because “chgs” meant charges.

Once I got started, the whole process snowballed and I had to learn the language. The first lesson was from my daughter: “Where R U?” Easy enough, but my fingers typing on the phone came out, 200 miles away, instead of 20 miles and she wasn’t home when I got there. When I texted, “Where R U?” she didn’t respond because she had gone to the movies. So

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.

much for communication. I had to learn some basic rules.

Rule One: Make sure that you correct all your mistakes before you hit send.

Rule Two: Make sure you know the basic text words like LOL. My girlfriend thought it meant “Lots Of Love” and wondered why I would respond to some of her texts with LOL. Rule Three: Auto-correct is Not your friend. This program changes the simplest words or phrases into something obscene.

Rule Four: Make sure you know to whom you are sending the text. A particular erotic email to a spouse can be misinterpreted if it goes to your business partner or client.

Rule Five: Watch out for younger family members. They send “Group Messages” which can really get you in trouble when you mean to send a text to just one person.

Rule Six: Go to one of the senior pages on the Internet and learn some new text abbreviations. My favorite response to “Where R U?” is “OMMR” On My Massage Recliner. I laughed because some of the “senior texts” are really imaginative.

And for those that are having hearing issues or don’t want to shout into the other room, this new shorthand is ideal. My husband and I have started to text each other when we are in the same house, like right now. “Boatng?” “10-4” Time to go.

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

Thanks for sharing BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

Perhaps this scene has happened at your house: TinyDog, 7 pounds of orange fluff, grabs the meaty bone and drags it under the coffee table. BigDog, 75 pounds of mixed-breed approaches, eyeing the bone with intent. TinyDog lets out a dangerous growl much more ferocious than thought possible from something the size of a bedroom slipper.

BigDog backs off and you chuckle at the little drama. We in the animal communication world refer to this behavior as “resource guarding”.

A dog that defends his food or a treat from other dogs is exhibiting completely normal and appropriate canine behavior.

In the wild, where food equals life, the dog who gives up his food is a goner.

Dogs usual subscribe to the “possession is nine-tenths of the law” philosophy, so it’s generally not worth the risk of injury to argue over a scrap of food or a bone.

It all works out in the end, pack-wise.

While resource guarding is acceptable and understood behavior, dog-to-dog, it is far less acceptable when it’s directed at us. For our own safety we want dogs to understand that everything they have is really ours. I call it the “I have thumbs (and you don’t)” principle. But dogs are confused by our ignorance of the “ninetenths” rule. Nice guys that they are, they’ll accede possession to their owners without fuss, most of the time. But, every now and again, our Best Friend may aggressively assert ownership rights to a precious toy, a tasty treat or a bowl

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.

of food. Then we have a problem.

Generalized food guarding is the most common manifestation and often the most dangerous as it’s almost impossible to control the presence of food in a dog’s environment. No matter how diligent you are, your dog will find the half-cookie between the couch cushions, the desiccated chicken bone on the street or the kitty deposit under the shrubbery. We’ve all yelled, “drop it! dropitdropitdropit!” while the dog clamps down even tighter, plants his feet and shoots you The Look. When this happens it’s obvious he is not comfortable with you in his “space”.

Here are some levels of guarding behavior to watch for: Level One: Ideally when you approach your dog’s bowl, he’ll stop eating, wag a bit and lean in to greet you. He’s letting you know he does not perceive you as a threat to his dinner, or if he does, he doesn’t care. He’d be happy to share.

Level Two: A slightly less perfect reaction to the same scenario is that Dog looks at you, wags, and continues to eat.

Level Three: If Dog is a little

uncomfortable about your distance from his food, he’ll tense his body. He may still wag. Watch the speed of the wag, though. If the speed of the wag increases as you get closer, paired with the tension in his body, he is communicating your presence is making him uncomfortable.

Level Four: As his discomfort escalates, so does his body language and behavior. At this level you’ll see a glare (The Look) or the whale eye, perhaps a bit of a snarl, or a low growl. He’ll start eating faster to prevent you from getting any of his food.

Level Five: If the food is portable, he’ll carry it away from you — under a table, into his crate — and growl at you from there. If he can’t pick it up, he may nudge it away from you if you continue to approach.

Level Six: A serious food-guarder is liable to put some teeth into play at this point. A snap is the next step. No contact with flesh, but a blatant message of “don’t touch my stuff!”.

Level Seven: Here’s where the threat to your safety, or the safety of a passing child, becomes deadly serious. This may be the actual break-the-skin bite.

Contact is hard and fast and pretty scary.

It may also consist of a series of bites up the transgressor’s arm. In kennel, I learned this lesson the absolute hardest way when I attempted to remove a wastebasket full of old dog food from the attentions of a determined, (intact, I might add), Tervuren. There is absolutely no warning and, man, does it hurt.

Level Eight: Severe food guarding can be triggered at a distance. At this level, even a person’s presence on the other side of the room can escalate very quickly.

Rehabilitating a guarder can take a huge commitment of time, resources and emotion. I applaud responsible dog owners who are willing to make the commitment required and I cheer when I receive reports from those who have been successful in getting their dogs to share.
