COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Whale Branch senior remains missing
Lettiana Elizondo
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek information regarding the whereabouts of a Whale Branch Early College High School senior who disappeared on Dec. 18. Malik Spencer, 18, was last seen on the morning of Dec. 18, when he left his home in Lobeco. Spencer never arrived at WBECHS that day, nor did he report to his job at Wendy’s. Spencer’s vehicle was found abandoned near a rural residential area on St. Helena Island on Dec. 21. Sheriff's Office personnel — accompanied by patrol K-9 units and the bloodhound team Malik — conducted Spencer an extensive search of that area, but did not find Spencer. Sheriff's Office investigators continue to follow up information on Spencer’s possible whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Some of the Information obtained by investigators up to this point leads them to believe that foul play may have been involved. Spencer's family and the Sheriff's Office remain extremely concerned for his well-being and are asking for information from the public. Anyone with information regarding Spencer’s whereabouts is urged to contact investigator Brian Abell at 843255-3436 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC if wishing to remain anonymous and for possible reward.

Time running out to get invitation to Valentine Ball pre-gala parties
Only one week remains to purchase tickets to Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 30th annual Valentine Ball and receive an invitation to one of the highly-anticipated pre-gala private dinner parties. Hosted by Beaufort residents in their private homes, the dinner parties serve as a warm up for the main event. The dozens of volunteers who host the private dinner parties have made the Valentine Ball a standout among fundraisers. In addition to providing the venue for the parties, the hosts decorate their homes, plan the menu and pay for the food, helping reduce the cost of putting on the event.
Hosted in private homes, the pre-ball dinner parties, like this one from 2018, have made the Valentine Ball special among local charity fundraisers. (From left to right: Bruce Reynolds, Gayle and Graham Walters, Dolores Reynolds, Joanne and John Fontana, Missy and Jerry Schultz and Susie and Dave Roos). “The pre-ball dinner parties are so much fun,” said Allison Coppage, who is co-chairing

Dataw Island announces purchase of marina
The Dataw Island Owners Association (DIOA) has announced its purchase of the marina property located on the north end of the island. The Carolina Ballroom erupted in applause when Assistant General Manager Lori Murdaugh opened the sealed envelope provided by an independent voting organization and read the results of the vote — more than 93 percent of property owners voted in favor of purchasing the marina property. In the months leading up to the vote, the Owners Association worked with several committees and staff to research options, produce financial forecasts and viability studies, and present a series of educational meetings for members, including 10 focus group meetings designed to garner member feedback. Based on the comments and surveys from the focus groups, the Long Range Planning Committee developed a recommendation to purchase the marina property and repopulate the dry stack and rebuild the shoreline dock, which was the option favored by 97 percent of the more than 300 focus group attendees. Throughout the past several months, many owners took to the DatawNet, an email listserv for member-to-member communication, to express their thoughts. “When we purchased our property planning on Dataw to be our future retirement home, one of the attractions was the marina. We are not boaters, in fact for me the golf was a larger attraction, but we both fell in love with the beauty of the marina. After Matthew’s damage we were heartbroken,” said Bill and Carol Reid, property owners who have not yet moved to Dataw. “We are fully behind the recommendation and hope the rest of the community feels the same.” Member John Keet, a boater, also expressed his love of Dataw and the marina, saying, “We love the beauty of Dataw and the Lowcountry in general. The spirit of cooperation

between the island residents is very refreshing; everyone is supportive of activities (and) amenities that enhance the quality of life here on the island even when we may not be directly involved with them. My wife and I both feel truly blessed to live here. There is just a tremendous sense of calm that comes over us as we cross the causeway. I’m certain that many of you feel much the same way. I experience that sense of calm when I on my boat.” The overall sentiment most members expressed on the DatawNet was reinforced by a “Yes” vote to purchase the marina complex and to once again make it an attractive “second entrance” to the private community. In addition to the ma-
rina itself, Dataw will, upon closing in February, also take ownership of the boat yard, run by Ace Basin Boat Works, and Sweetgrass Restaurant, operated by a local restaurant group managed by Palmer Sims. The Owners Association plans to continue the partnership with these proprietors and welcomed them as neighbors at an impromptu celebration at Sweetgrass that immediately followed the vote announcement. DIOA has an action plan ready to launch that includes several marina rehabilitation projects as well as partnering with marina professionals who will run the day-to-day operations, under the supervision and control of Dataw management. Any future development, expan-
sion, contraction, or repurposing of the Marina Property will initially be subject to review and agreement by the DIOA Board, and ultimately determined by the vote of the membership. For now, though, Dataw members are just ready for the return of full marina operations. Whether boaters or not, many members appreciate the beauty of a functioning marina and are glad to support the purchase. Member Claudia Peebles summed it up well, saying “We all enjoy a walk out on the pier even if we don’t boat. We all want to take in the view.” Noting her support of the marina despite not being a boater herself, Peebles added, “It’s just the right thing to do.”

Oxford philosophy professor speaks to BA leadership class
Beaufort Academy juniors and seniors taking the Models of Leadership course were treated to a guest lecture from one of Oxford University's Department of Philosophy luminaries just before Christmas break. Professor Jeff McMahan, who is a South Carolina native and Rhodes Scholar, engaged in a lively give-and-take with the students that kept everyone on their toes for the full 90 minutes, which appeared to fly by as the conversations jumped from topic to topic. Professor McMahan is a graduate of Sewanee, The University of the South, and currently holds White's Chair of Moral Philosophy, which was endowed in 1621. His position is regarded as the most prestigious post in the world of moral philosophy. Seated on the edge of a desk in a BA classroom, McMahan led the students on an exploration of
both theoretical and real-world issues that, as future leaders, they may find themselves debating. There was nothing off limits in the free-flowing discussions, and students asked questions on everything from gun ownership, to bioethics, to the morality of being or not being a vegan. McMahan discussed how to distinguish between doing Jeff things right McMahan and doing the right thing, and explained how his college Shakespeare teacher inspired him to explore and then teach philosophy as his life's work. Although philosophy is often perceived as a daunting subject, McMahan helped the students realize that everyone does philosophy every day through our actions, which often have a moral or ethical
dimension. The students responded enthusiastically to their guest, commenting that they found McMahan's discussions “exciting,” “down to Earth,” and “fascinating,” and more than one student indicated that philosophy will be among their college course selections. McMahan is a friend of Beaufort Academy teacher Tom Miller, who teaches the Leadership course, and stayed with Miller and his wife, Paula, during his visit to Beaufort. The two were students together at Sewanee and reconnected at Oxford University several years ago, when Miller was studying there each summer, and where McMahan is supervising doctoral candidates. “Having Jeff McMahan at Beaufort Academy is the moral philosophy equivalent of having Bruce Springsteen visit. Or Bono,” Miller said. “Maybe both of them at the same time."

Understand the Benefits of Laser Cataract Surgery By Mark S. Siegel, MD FAAO While seeing more clearly is the main goal of cataract surgery, new lasers and premium lenses have made it possible to also achieve better vision. Now we have the ability to improve people's vision so they can see at a distance or up close, often without glasses. The laser Dr. Mark assists me in Siegel giving people clearer vision faster, more consistently, and very often without glasses. I use the LenSx laser to assist me in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. I was the first Ophthalmologist to adopt this technology in our area several years ago because I found the evidence compelling that the laser is more accurate, precise, and gentle than traditional manual cataract surgery. What Is Laser Cataract Surgery? A cataract occurs when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy. During traditional cataract surgery, cataract surgeons use a small blade to enter the front of the eye and a small needle and forceps to make a circular incision on the front surface of the lens capsule to reach the cataract. Ultrasound waves break
the cataract into tiny pieces, which are then removed. The new artificial lens is inserted to replace the cloudy natural lens. In laser cataract surgery, a laser is used to make the incision and lens opening. It creates a more reliable, repeatable, precise incision than a surgeon can do by hand. Even a very good surgeon can’t make a perfect circle as precisely as a laser can. Better Vision Following Cataract Surgery The laser is useful when a cataract is dense or the opening is difficult to create. However, the laser’s accuracy is particularly important when surgeons want to implant a multifocal lens, which corrects distance and close-up vision, or a toric lens that corrects astigmatism. I use these lenses when patients want more options in terms of how they function with their vision, such as wanting to drive, read, do computer work, or play golf without needing to wear glasses. The precision of the laser, its ability to consistently create incisions helps me accomplish that. The laser can also be used to correct minor astigmatism by reshaping an imperfectly curved cornea. While I can can do that by hand, the laser allows me to do it significantly more reliably and more
precisely. Numerous studies have substantiated these benefits of the laser. This leads to a better and more predictable visual outcome. Because the laser requires less energy than ultrasound to break up the cataract, it also reduces the risk of corneal swelling, which can impact vision. Since I use less ultrasonic energy (typically 50 percent less) and have less corneal swelling, the eye can heal faster, and there is less stress on the cornea and lens ligaments called zonules. Many studies have found this as well. Should You Consider Laser Cataract Surgery? While laser cataract surgery has its advantages, it’s not for everyone. Because the use of the laser and the premium lenses are not covered by insurance, people will incur more out-of-pocket expenses than with traditional cataract surgery. Unlike other surgeries or medical devices, cataract surgery is not repeated, so the investment in your vision will have lifelong rewards. When I evaluate patients who need cataract surgery, I determine if they would be a good candidate for a premium lens as well as the use of the laser, and educate them about the benefits. It is up to the patient to decide if they want traditional surgery or laser cataract surgery.

Warriors settle for runnerup finish at Bobcat Classic Whale Branch’s boys made an impressive run in the Bobcat Classic over the weekend in Bluffton, winning their first two games before losing 55-38 to Class 5A Boiling Springs in Saturday’s championship game. Shemar Williams scored 13 points and Jaquan Watson and Nick Pringle added eight apiece for the Warriors, who had a seven-game winning streak
snapped by the Bulldogs. The Warriors reached the title game with a 46-43 win over host Bluffton on Thursday and a 76-73 victory over South Point (N.C.) on Friday. Watson scored 14 points to lead the way against the Bobcats, while Shawn Chisolm added 10 and Pringle had nine. Chisolm scored 21 points, Watson added 17, RaeQuan Bris-
bane had 12, and Pringle contributed 10 in the semifinal win over South Point. Pringle, Watson and Chisolm were named to the all-tournament team. Beaufort High went 0-3 in the tournament. The Eagles opened with a 57-41 loss to eventual champion Boiling Springs, as Trae Heyward scored nine points, Oliver Holmes had eight,
and Josh Aiken added seven. BHS dropped a heartbreaker on Friday, 62-61 to Woodland, despite 19 points from Holmes, 11 from Heyward, and 10 from Jamaad Rivers. The Eagles fell 63-58 to Lowcountry Leadership Charter in the seventh-place game. Rivers scored 21 points, and Heyward, Holmes, and Aiken added nine apiece.

EMC stars represent S.C. in Youth Shrine Bowl Two players from Beaufort were among the standouts for the South Carolina squads at the second annual Youth Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas on Saturday in Charlotte. Alonzo Allen played in the sixth-grade game, starting at middle linebacker and seeing action on offense, defense, and special teams in a 6-6 tie with the North Carolina allstars. Allen also was singled out with an award for his behavior and team leadership
at the pre-game banquet after raising nearly $2,000 for Shriners Hospitals for Children. Kacy Fields was named the Offensive MVP of the eighth-grade game after passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns — including a Shrine Bowl-record 99-yard touchdown pass — to lead the South Carolina squad to a 14-12 win. Allen and Fields both play for Extra Mile Club of Beaufort.

VOICES & AROUND TOWN
This year let’s work together
By Bill Rauch It’s my hope that 2019 will be the year the lines between our local governments become less rigid. Yes, great progress has been made since the 1990s, when Beaufort County’s municipalities sued each other over their growth plans, and the county government and the school district were at constant war over turf. Despite growing bigger every day, Beaufort County has grown smaller since those days. Now if we don’t hang together, to quote Ben Franklin, “we’ll assuredly hang separately.” Several areas of focus, all regional by their natures, come
to mind — highways, pressuring the state to bring fairness to school funding, offshore drilling, law enforcement, stormwater and affordable housing. On highways, clearly Hilton Head Island needs another corridor to I-95, and Beaufort needs the Third Crossing. If they are “looking down the road,” as Bill they ought to Rauch be, both towns should be working together and with their other partners to bring these longstanding needs to reality. On school district funding,
the state formula has long been unfair to Beaufort County. As our legislative delegation gains seniority, the time approaches when fairness might finally be brought to the formula. But our representatives in Columbia will need the help of the other locally-elected officials to grab and maintain the legislature’s focus. On drilling, Mayor Billy Keyserling has been at his best there, but he must be careful to make sure his coastal coalition-building efforts are over and above the necessary day-to-day work of mayoring that is required at home. On stormwater, to date there has been some com-
mendable but largely partnerless dancing. However, in 2019 the time for line dancing has come. The drafting and implementation of Beaufort County’s regional plans should be the model: Get everyone in a room and hash out a plan — complete with goals and timetables — that serves everyone. Work out the funding and start implementing the plan. Now’s the time to get started. The seas are rising, and the the recent boom times are starting to feel iffy. But a line dance needs a whispering caller to help everyone stay in step. Who will that be? Stu Rodman? Brian Flewelling? Michael E. Co-
vert? Or Paul Sommerville, who — faced with a deeply divided council that couldn’t for nearly two years agree on an administrator — as chairman has managed so far to keep the government on track, out of trouble and speaking to its neighbors. He might like the time off, but can the county afford to give it to him? It appears that decision will be up to the newly-elected Beaufort County Council members, who as they are sworn in will face not only the chairman choice, but that of calling the direction of the new County Administrator search as well. The next chairman and ad-
ministrator will have to work not just with the county’s prickly mayors, but with Marty Sauls in Jasper County, the state legislative delegation, and the feds, too. On the subject of “hanging together,” when the feds bring their long-anticipated MS4 Clean Water squeeze here, the local governments will be heartened to have one another for company in the vise. In 2019 let’s see how good our locally-elected officials can get at dancing together. If we make clear we will judge them on that basis, they might just surprise us.

‘Reconstructing’ Beaufort’s complicated history By Scott Graber It’s the Friday after Christmas and I’m sitting in front of our hearth where a well-tended fire is burning through several cedar logs that were felled by Hurricane Irma. These December days I get my contentment sitting in front of the fire and saying, “Alexa, play ‘Me and Bobby McGee.”” Then, as if by magic, Janis Joplin comes roaring through the speakers in our living room transporting me back to my youth. “Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train, feeling nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before a rain, and rode us all the way to New Orleans.” Recently I’ve learned that this tastefully furnished, big-
My friend Jane and I were at a recent book club luncheon when she asked, “Lee, you are from the north, right?” I confirmed, and she pulled up a chair and proceeded to tell a story. Jane had been at the doctor’s office when a woman sat down next to her in the waiting room. There were several other people in the room also. The woman started to talk to Jane and before long Jane found out the woman’s name, Martha, and heard about her ill sister, Edna. Martha and Jane had a wonderful conversation and soon others in the
windowed room was built by a black man named John Mardenborough. I’ve also learned that Mardenborough came to Port Royal from Edgefield County in 1879. Those that know their South Carolina history remember that Edgefield County was not a good place to be in the 1870s if you happened to be black. In fact, Mardenborough had been desperate to leave and had written the American Colonization Society begging the Society to send him and 75 other black folks to Liberia. “A black woman comes to me and tells me her husband was killed last night in her presence by white men and her children burned to death in the house. She says her person was outraged by these men and then she was
whipped — such things are common occurrences.” The next thing we know for sure is that this same John Mardenborough became postmaster in Port Royal and then, in 1881, he bought our lot for $350. Some years later it was sold to Scheper for $1,200. This differential leads me to believe Scott that MardenGraber borough built his house (our house) sometime after 1881. We also know that he was married to Parolee Burgess Mardenborough, who died in August 1903. Her obituary reads, in part: “She descended from worthy stock that was connected to the editor’s
family in days gone by when the pall of slavery covered this land … to those who do not understand the question, we desire to say to the families of former slaveowners and the families of former slaves feel an attachment for each other no time can sever.” Despite yellow fever, endemic malaria and a hurricane in 1893 that flattened Beaufort County, Mardenborough prospered. He had a good job, got involved in politics, raised a family and had enough optimism left over to build a house. In all probability he sat in front of this very same hearth and counted his blessings. Mardenborough’s story is one of many stories that the National Park Service will eventually tell when Beaufort’s Reconstruction Monument
is up and running. Right at the moment the actual story—called the “Foundation Document” — is being prepared by the National Park Service in Denver, Colorado. That document will center on Brick Church, Penn Center, Camp Saxton and the physical remnants of that strange, sometimes brutal time. But we really don’t have the standard props — there’s no fort, no “El Capitan” to be climbed, no well-barbered, cannon-accessoried battlefield to explore. Mostly its going to be faded photographs — enhanced by a plow or an ancient wagon — and stories of a resilient people who bought small plots of land, and found a way to survive, even prosper, by “mining” phosphate or raising cotton. I’m not thinking the Recon-

After all, Jane and I had been brought up with the Northern Code of Ethics. One never invades the personal space of a stranger. One is expected to read a
magazine when you are in a doctor’s waiting room. I told Jane about a similar experience. I was sitting quietly in the corner of the doctor’s waiting room when an elderly couple came in and sat down. As they were filling out forms, a young couple with a cute 14-month-old daughter came into the room. The
older woman asked, “How old is she?,” and before long we were all smiles and chatting up with the family. As the father chased the daughter around the room (she was greeting all of us), I started to talk to the mother. I learned the family came from Britain and the father, a pilot, had been stationed at the Marine
Corps Air Station for two years. “The people here are so friendly,” the young mother remarked. After hearing Jane and my stories, the other book club members began to tell their own stories. One woman mentioned that she had been visiting her sister up north when they went into an elevator. My friend said, “Good morning,” to another rider and started to chat. After they got off the elevator her sister said, “What is wrong with you? We don’t talk to people in an elevator.” Well, I knew this to be true

The folks that come here won’t be hiking down into canyons or viewing the ruins of the Anasazi Indians. Rather, these folks will mostly get a complicated, much debated narrative about a tumultuous, troubled time. Maybe they will be inspired by that story. Maybe not. But whatever, it’s a credit to Beaufort County and the National Park Service that this story — the Reconstruction story — will be told.

also. There is an elevator code. “What floor?,” and “Thank you.” That’s it. Yet several of the book club members felt that “small-town hospitality” is found in many northern towns. And there are also neighborhoods in large cities where people are friendly. (Think of the Boston bar, Cheers, where everyone knows your name.) In the end, we all agreed we have begun to embrace the Southern Code. After all, what is wrong with saying “Good morning,” to someone or consoling an elderly woman who is concerned about her sister? It is just good manners.
Thumbs Up gets a hand up Spotlight shines on ‘Adriana’ in next Met Opera simulcast
Rosalyn Browne (second from left), and kids from Thumbs Up receive a donation from Laura Riski (to Rosalyn’s left in red) representing 100 Women Who Care. It was a dark day July 19 for “Thumbs Up,” a year-round after-school program for referred elementary school children. Its center at 914 Hamar Street was flooded due to heavy rains and clogged drains on Hamar and Greene Streets. Following months of drying out, mold abatement, replacing floors, walls and cabinets, and repainting, the building has reopened, and is once again alive with the sounds of children and their volunteer tutors going about their business. Despite having flood insurance, the small but impactful United Way organization

founded by Sister Mary Trzasko some 23 years ago incurred burdensome expenses, which it struggled to cover. The Beaufort chapter of 100 Women Who Care, in response to a passionate plea by Thumbs Up board member Linda Jones, voted to make Thumbs Up the recipient of their final quarter donation. On Dec. 5, Laura Riski, a representative of the organization, presented a $13,000 check to Executive Director Rosalyn Browne and Board Chair Woody Rutter, along with some of the excited children at Thumbs Up and their tutors. “This extraordinary gift
makes a powerful statement about the women who have responded to a worthy organization that has experienced a near disaster,” Rutter said in expressing his gratitude to the 100 Women Who Care Beaufort. “It comes at the time of the year when we all hope for miracles, and you have blessed our Thumbs Up children in a miraculous way.” In 2018, 100 Women Who Care Beaufort has also supported Friends of Caroline Hospice, The Lending Room, and Born to Read. Since 2015, the organization has generously given $228,000 to worthy organizations.
By Alan Schuster Soprano diva Anna Netrebko takes on the title role of Francesco Cilea’s Adriana Lecouvreur in the Saturday, Jan. 12, HD live presentation at Beaufort’s Center for the Performing Arts. It’s one of the great challenges among prima donnas, not only for their voices but also their acting skills. What makes the acting particularly important is that the story is based on real-life 18th-century French actress Adrienne Lecouvreur (1692-1730), who was the celebrity sensation of her day. On stage, she was both adored and reviled for her emotionally frank and naturalistic performances — a shock to the senses of audiences accustomed to mannered styles. Producer and Stage Director Sir David McVicar claims, “There is little point in doing Adriana Lecouvreur unless you have a grand diva, because that’s what it’s about — absolutely the act of performing.”
Main characters: Adriana (star soprano); Maurizio (Count of Saxony); Michonnet (stage director); Prince de Bouillon; Princess de Bouillon. The Plot: Adriana loves Maurizio, not knowing his aristocratic identity. She reveals her feelings to her friend, Michonnet, unaware that he loves her as well. Just before going on stage, she gives Maurizio a posy of violets. The Prince and his friend find a note inviting Maurizio for an assignation. They think it is written by another actress since it invites Maurizio to this woman’s home. What he doesn’t realize is that the note is from his wife, who also loves Maurizio. When Maurizio arrives for his meeting with the Princess, she becomes enraged, believing that he loves someone else — and so he gives the violets to her as a peace offering. The Princess’s husband has invited theatrical guests to the house for a party, and they begin to arrive, interrupting the affair. Adriana,
not aware of her identity, helps the Princess to avoid embarrassment. Much later when the Princess hosts a soiree, she identifies Adriana by her voice as the woman who had saved her, and in a fit of jealousy, shows her the violets, now faded, which she still keeps. When Adriana suggests that she is simply promiscuous, she determines on revenge. Later once again, Adriana happily receives a box of violets, assuming they are from Maurizio. As the result of poison contained in the flowers, Adriana dies in Maurizio’s arms. Joining Netrebko will be tenor Piotr Beczala as her lover, Maurizio; mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as the Princess of Bouillon; and baritone Ambrogio Maestri as stage director of the Comedie-Francaise. Gianandrea Noseda conducts. Tickets are now available. All seats general admission. Adults $20; OLLI members $18; Students $10. Order at centerforthearts.com, or call 843-521-4145.
WINE & DINE
NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS
By Celia Strong As we start another new year, our first lesson brings us an easy drinking, universally enjoyable wine — a red Bordeaux with an interesting history, excep- Celia tional produc- Strong tion and many enthusiasts to come. Bordeaux is a fairly large region located in western France. It is divided into several different sub-regions by rivers that flow into the Atlantic Ocean. Studying Bordeaux is a huge subject, so for now, we’ll just look at where our new wine comes from — the area located between the Garonne River on its south side and the Dordogne River on its north. EntreDeux-Mers is named for this location. Literally translated, its name means “between
two seas.” Besides being the name of this Bordeaux sub-region, Entre-Deux-Mers is also an appellation for white Bordeaux wines. Many red wines are also produced in the appellation, but they are just classified as Bordeaux. In the mid-20th century, many growers replanted their vineyards with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Hence our red wine. Chateau Saint-Sulpice makes our red Bordeaux. Established in 1710, the chateau is currently owned by its 11th generation heirs, Pierre Dubergé and son Christophe. The chateau is located in northern Entre-Deux-Mers, close to the city of St. Emilion. They own about 165,000 acres with three distinct soil types — sandy gravel, clay and gravel, and sandy loam — each of which gives the grapes grown there distinct characteristics that make for
more complex wines. In their vineyards, SaintSulpice is committed to the EMS, or Environmental Management System. Their viticulture respects the environment and they work their soil while minimizing chemicals. This includes planting grass between every second row of vines, which lets them limit herbicides and makes it easier for the machines they do use. They prefer manual pruning for their vines, as well as manual de-budding, trellising and leaf removal. Their pruning makes sure there are spaces between the bunches of grapes. And this helps the grapes ripen better and limits disease, decay and need for chemicals. Labor intensive for sure, but better for their wine. Harvesting is done mechanically, which lets winemakers control the condition of the grapes. Machine harvest is quicker so more grapes are
By Sharon Cooper “1905” Columbia Salad1 1905 is the year that the Columbia Restaurant was founded in the Ybor City section of Tampa Florida. They since have opened several restaurants in Florida: St Augustine, Clearwater, Sarasota and Celebration. At the restaurant, this wonderful salad is served fresh, tossed at your table, along with some warm Cuban bread and sweet cream butter. In the 1970’s, this flavorful salad was the Columbia’s answer to the ubiquitous salad bar. Created by waiter Tony Noriega in 1940’s, it was adapted by the Columbia, eventually phasing out the use of black olives and celery. The Columbia kitchen designed a new dressing that featured Worcester sauce, lemon and parmesan cheese. When the President of Lea and Perrins heard that the Columbia was one of his
biggest customers, he investigated and ate a “1905” Salad. He soon discovered the salad’s delight for himself. If traveling to the closest Columbia Restaurant in St Augustine is too far, enjoy a “1905” Salad in the comfort of your own home. Here is the recipe compliments of the Columbia Restaurant:
DRESSING INGREDIENTS:
1
“1905” SALAD RECIPE Ready in 15 minutes Serves: 4 SALAD INGREDIENTS: ½ head of Iceberg lettuce 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into eighths ½ cup sliced swiss cheese, cut into julienne strips (2”x11” strips) ½ cup sliced bake ham (2”x 11” strips) (or turkey or shrimp) 1/4 cup pimento stuffed Spanish olives, pitted 2 teaspoons freshly grated Romano cheese
½ cup white wine vinegar ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 teaspoon dried oregano 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS Toss together all salad ingredients in large bowl, except Romano cheese. Prepare the salad dressing: • Mix garlic, oregano and Worchester sauce in a bowl, beat until smooth with a wire whisk. • Add olive oil gradually, beating to foam an emulsion. • Stir in vinegar and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add dressing to salad and toss well. Add Romano cheese and toss one more time. Enjoy!!!
picked at the exact right time. After harvest, the grapes are sorted, de-stemmed, crushed and fed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The winemaking process at Saint-Sulpice is a combination of traditional knowledge and modern techniques. They mature their wines in both oak barrels and temperature-controlled vats. This way maceration is done to make their wines as they choose. They have 50 French oak barrels, which are used for blending and adding complexity to the wines, and their vats can hold 85,000 gallons. The cellar can store 120,000 bottles for aging until they are released. The time and care that goes into Saint-Sulpice wines
is close to that of many of the great, very expensive red Bordeaux wines. Our Chateau Saint-Sulpice is their “classic” red wine, but they also make other reds and a white that we have enjoyed for several years. Our wine is a blend of 70 percent Merlot, 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 percent Malbec. These exact percentages vary a bit from vintage to vintage, but the varieties are always in this order and close to these numbers. After sorting and de-stemming, fermentation takes eight days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Cooler temperatures enhance the fruitiness of this wine, one of its best charac-
teristics. It can take 18 to 20 months between the blending and the release of each vintage. This wine has a deep, cherry red color. Its aromas and flavors are intense, complex and harmonious and include ripe red and black fruits like cherries, black cherries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, plums, all mixed with baking spices — cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom — and herbs. All the flavors come together in a very balanced wine. It has moderate tannins, medium body and a lingering finish. All evidence of its quality of grapes and winemaking. Perfect for our first wine this year for $14.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
