New Beaufort fire station on schedule, on budget Beaufort’s new Ribaut Road fire station is on schedule for completion

by December and is within budget at the halfway point, city leaders said. As of mid-July, the heavy steel framing is complete, the electrical and plumbing rough-in installations are underway, site drainage and the site sewer system are about 90 percent done and the water system connections are about 75 percent complete.

“Even with our almost daily thunderstorms and occasional heavy rain, the crews have done a great job to keep this project moving forward,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. “It’s a much-needed project and we are looking forward to making it operational.”

In coming weeks, roof sheeting will be installed and brickwork will begin.

An access road will be rough-graded.

The site is geographically positioned between Port Royal’s main station and Beaufort’s current Fire Headquarters near the intersection of Ribaut and Boundary Street.The total cost of the project, including land, furnishings

New Ribaut Road fire station making steady progress.

and technology, is $3,299,837. Costs include storm water improvements for the immediate area.The new facility will replace the outdated one beside Beaufort Middle School and across from Mossy Oaks Elementary on residential Mossy Oaks Road. City Council hasn’t decided what to do with that property after the new facility opens.

“The location of this new fire station will provide seamless coverage between the main Beaufort station and our main fire station in Port Royal,” Port Royal Town Manager Van Willis said. “It’s good to see the project rising up so fast.”

When the new station is completed, firefighting equipment will be moved

from the Mossy Oaks Road facility.

Fraser Construction is leading the work on the new firehouse.

“Fire protection is such an important service for the residents of Beaufort and Port Royal, and building this new station is essential to the BeaufortPort Royal Fire Department. So far we are very pleased with the progress,” said David Coleman, senior projects manager for Beaufort.

Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said the new Ribaut Road location offers: direct access to the main artery between Beaufort and Port Royal, easy and efficient travel times to the entire coverage area for this fire station, excellent geographical positioning to reinforce and enhance the ISO 2 rating that helps reduce commercial fire insurance premiums, limited impact on neighborhoods, greater distance from large schools than the current Mossy Oaks station, and smooth traffic flow for fire vehicles, including direct access to the rear of the facility (eliminating fire trucks having to back into the bays).

Literacy nonprofit returns to Beaufort Hilton Head-based nonprofit The Literacy Center helps adults in the greater Beaufort County area achieve the reading, writing, math and speaking skills necessary to be successful in the family, the workplace and the community. Recently, the organization returned to the city of Beaufort after a hiatus in local programming with its newest tutoring program at Port Royal Baptist Church.

Financial success from Lowcountry Giving Day partially supported the expansion – The Literacy Center raised $30,000 from the May 5th event. Funding will primarily help the organization serve the expected 700+ students in classes at Bluffton and Hilton Head Island this academic year.

“Timing was excellent,” said Pam Wall, Executive Director of The Literacy Center since mid-May. In addition to new programming, The

PHILANTHROPY CORNER Coastal Community Foundation empowers individuals, families and organizations to make a lasting impact through permanent, endowed funds for charitable giving. The Foundation serves Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton and Jasper counties. To learn more, go to www.coastalcommunityfoundation.org or call (843) 723-3635.

the organization to better understand the needs of the community for future program sites in 2016.

For now, The Literacy Center still needs 6-10 additional volunteers at its Hilton Head Island learning center for classes beginning in September. Tutors don’t need previous teaching experience, as The Literacy Center equips them with curriculums, tutor training and assistance throughout the school year.

Tutor training kicks off in midAugust, and the deadline to submit a tutor application – available online at www.theliteracycenter.org – is August 5th. Email Mike Powers at mpowers@ theliteracycenter.org with questions or to learn more.

“It’s a very rewarding, inspirational opportunity for people to tutor,” explained Pam. By expanding to Beaufort and continuing current programs, The Literacy Center will bring that experience to many more tutors and provide life-changing opportunities to adults across all of Beaufort County.

Local builders collaborate with HGTV’s Vacation Home For Free Live Oak Builders, a custom home builder in Beaufort and the Sea Islands, announced that they collaborated with Home & Garden Television (HGTV) on their Vacation Home For Free TV program this spring. “We were contacted in January by the producer and was eventually chosen from a field of five local contractors, based on our small company structure” explains Todd Bradley, owner of Live Oak Builders.

“It was important to them to have access to an on-site project manager for communications and a project coordinator to facilitate material orders.

Those are two key positions in custom home building,” he said.

With a list of renovation tasks and a budget of $60,000, Live Oak Builders was charged with completing the work in six weeks at the home of Ann and Bill Lamm at 508 Craven St. in the historic district. A new kitchen and powder room, removal of interior fireplace and wall removal to create open space, repainted interior and exterior, refinished all original pine flooring, new light fixtures & fans throughout, added a gas lantern on front porch and freshened front landscaping were the main renovations.

Eighteen local subcontractors assisted Live Oak Builders with the renovations.

BMH makes list of Most Wired Hospitals in US For the 13th straight year, Beaufort Memorial earned a spot on the list of the nation’s Most Wired Hospitals, putting it in the company of some of the most prestigious academic medical centers in the country.

Only 338 US hospitals met the American Hospital Association’s set of rigorous IT criteria designed to reduce the likelihood of medical errors. BMH was one of eight hospitals in South Carolina to earn the Most Wired distinction.

“We’ve continued to look at technology solutions with the goal of improving patients’ quality of care,” said BMH Chief Information Officer Ed Ricks. “It’s especially gratifying to make the Most Wired list since we moved from the ’small and rural hospitals‘ category and are now included with some of the largest hospital systems and medical centers in the nation, including Emory Healthcare in Atlanta,

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and Cedars-Sinai Health System in Los Angeles.”

Each year, Hospitals & Health Networks magazine, the flagship publication of the AHA, conducts a survey that asks hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their information technology initiatives. The 2015 survey was completed by 741 respondents, representing 2,213 hospitals, or more than 39 percent of all U.S. hospitals.

According to the survey, hospitals are taking more aggressive privacy and security measures to protect and safeguard patient data.

“With the rising number of patient data breaches and cybersecurity attacks threatening the healthcare industry, protecting patient health information is a top priority for hospital customers,”

said Frank Nydam, senior director of Healthcare at VMware, sponsor of the 2015 Most Wired survey. “Coupled with the incredible technology innovation taking place today, healthcare organizations need to have security as a foundational component of their mobility, cloud and networking strategy and incorporated into the very fabric of the organization.”

This spring BMH created the position of director of information security and

hired Jason Eddinger, an IT professional with 25 years’ experience in the health care field, to ensure the hospital is in compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule and all other federal regulations designed to protect electronic health information.

The hospital also has added helpful new functions to its patient portal— MyBMH—to get patients actively involved in their health care.

“The portal is an intuitive health management tool that allows patients to view their medical records, giving them ownership of their health,” said Shauna Bishop, Beaufort Memorial’s e-health director of information systems. “Whether they are focused on prevention, recovering from an illness or managing chronic conditions, it improves their ability to self-manage their health, resulting in better outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction.”

Healing Heroes hosts VietnamVeterans Tribute The Healing Heroes of the Lowcountry Fund is proud to host the inaugural Vietnam Veterans Celebration on August 8, 2015 at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This event seeks to honor our nation’s Vietnam War Veterans of all branches of the military for their service and

sacrifices to our country during a difficult era in our history.

The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The Keynote Speaker is Maj. Gen. Robert E. Livingston, Jr., U.S. Army Retired. Following his remarks, The Parris Island Marine Band, the Parris Island Color Guard along with the Sweetgrass Angels, Brad Smith & Keith Alston, Katie McAllister, and

City Councilman Mike McFee will perform. Katie McAllister says, “I am particularly honored to be singing the National Anthem, and a couple other patriSinger Katie otic songs, with the McAllister Marine Corps Band, as my father was a Vietnam Vet, Air

Efforts made to increase security measures announced As a result of the shooting at Chattanooga Armed Forces recruitment centers, Governor Nikki Haley and Major General Bob Livingston, working together with law enforcement including South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel, are undertaking efforts to ensure the safety and security of service members, their families and South Carolina National Guard facilities across the state.

Gov. Haley said, “In the wake of the shootings in Chattanooga, I have ordered a full review of all South Carolina National Guard facilities and installations statewide. The safety of our men and women in uniform is paramount, and I fully expect that this rolling review, starting this week, will result in the arming of some of our guardsmen.”

Steps the governor has authorized General Livingston and his team to undertake, which ensures safety while balancing public access to facilities, include: guard officials will conduct site-by-site visits for vulnerability assessments of all guard recruitment stations, facilities and installations across the state; based on vulnerability assessments, designated officials will be armed at recruitment stations, facilities and installations across the state as necessary; continue active shooter exercises with local law enforcement; continue active coordination and training with law enforcement; Provide a method of instant contact with law enforcement; improve all physical security measures at all Guard facilities based on vulnerability assessments.

Exploring the importance of being a safe harbor

By Susan Stone

Last Sunday I heard a sermon on Safe Harbors. The talk primarily focused on personal safety and the state of our world at this time. However my mind went on to ponder the question; in what ways can I/we be a safe harbor for others?

If someone shares a secret or a personal situation with you, do you honor that trust and keep it to yourself? In the past I have trusted close friends with personal matters, only to hear about it from someone else I know. This lesson of discernment and finding out who your friends really are can be a painful one.

On the flip side, there are those who may never trust me again because I thought it wouldn’t hurt to just tell one person… or two. In my ministerial training I was asked to sign an agreement. The promise I made and signed my name to seemed simple enough, but it has been a challenge to keep. Our human nature is a curious one. We love to know things that other’s do not. A juicy bit of news is hard to keep to myself and yet, if I am to

be trustworthy, I must.

Another issue of safety concerns speaking your truth. If you are criticized for your opinions, you will not feel safe speaking them. If you want your children, your spouse, your friends, your co-workers to tell you the truth, you must be a person who can hear it…even if you don’t like it. When my daughter was little, I told her that I was her soft place to fall in this world. I told her I would never hold truth against her. I could take it, whatever it was. As a result she told me things that made me want to tell her father and other parents, but I didn’t. The only exception I ever made was if what she told me could result in

harm to her or another. And even at that, I told her ahead of time and explained why I had to do the right thing.

Are you a safe harbor? Would a lost child find you kind and helpful?

Would a homeless person, a Muslim, a homosexual? If someone needs a shoulder to cry on or a sympathetic ear…are you a soft place to fall? Are you only safe with people you are similar to?

Not being a world traveler, I have little experience with being in a strange place, with language I don’t understand. I can only imagine that it would take some getting used to. We don’t see high profile military units or machine guns every day in America, so I am sure it feels

unnerving to unseasoned travelers.

Personal safety is a global concern. We have spent billions of dollars since “9/11” to make America safer. What an illusion.

If we choose a steady diet of “talking heads” on the news, we may never feel safe again! We have managed (through our fear) to give away much of our freedom in the name of “safety”. No laws and no amount of military spending will keep you from the inevitable. At some point, we will all go home. We cannot stop it. We will all drop our bodies at some point and go. It is the most natural thing you will do, next to arriving here in the first place.

We either feel safe in the world or we don’t, based on our life experience and what we allow others to tell us about the world. It is not a debate, it is a feeling.

I have lived through some perilous times…most of my own making and I have come away feeling like I have an Angel on my shoulder.

I believe that if I want to feel safe in this world, then I must help others to find a safe harbor too.

AT BEAUFORT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Partnership with Parris Island Fire Department proves successful In a continuing effort to improve cardiac care for patients suffering a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)—the most dangerous type of heart attack— Beaufort Memorial teamed up with the emergency medical service providers from Parris Island Fire Department to practice its STEMI process, ensuring patients suffering this type of cardiac event receive expedited treatment.

“When EMS is called, they are able to get your care started sooner,” BMH STEMI quality coordinator Sabrina Faircloth said. “They will confirm and transmit the EKG and alert the emergency department staff, who in turn gets the process started by alerting the Cath Lab Team that you are on the way in.”

During this unannounced drill, a “patient” was picked up by Parris Island EMTs on the base and transported by ambulance to Beaufort Memorial, where

Parris Island EMT Nathan Hildreth delivers a heart attack patient (fellow EMT Charles Bumgardner) to the Beaufort Memorial Emergency Department and updates staff members Christina Crosby, RN, Annalise Kirk, RN and Chelsea Gratton on his condition.

the Emergency Department and Cath Lab teams ran through all procedures as if this was an actual STEMI emergency.

“These drills offer a unique opportunity for the Fire Department to interact with our receiving hospital

and to test our abilities in the field as well,” said Parris Island Paramedic and Training Officer Nate Hildreth. “And they allow us to see firsthand how the STEMI system works once our patient reaches the emergency room.”

STEMIs occur when there is a sudden blockage of one of the three coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart.

Without blood, the heart muscle will die. To increase the patient’s chance of survival and limit the amount of heart muscle that is permanently damaged, the clotted artery needs to be opened as quickly as possible.

Standard of care across the US is less than 90 minutes from first medical contact to opening the vessel. BMH continues to beat this standard.

Remember that time is muscle.

So, if you think you’re having a heart attack, please call 911 to get your care started sooner!

THE BEAUTY OF BEING PAIN–FREE

By Dr. Stephen W. Durham

Dentures are sometimes the solution for people who have lost the strength and structure of their own teeth.

But today people who get dentures often find greater relief than they imagined.

Today’s dentures offer advances over what people might have grown to expect, and the improvement in appearance is often far greater than people imagine, for at least two reasons.

Not just good-as-new. Often better.

The results of this misalignment – Temporomandibular Disorder or TMD – range from trouble sleeping, to ringing in the ears, pain behind the eyes, numbness in the shoulders and down the arms and yes, headaches, even migraines. So neuromuscular den-

tures often change people’s lives far beyond appearance and comfort.

Relaxing the jaw.

To find each patient’s unique, ideal alignment the patient’s jaws are fully relaxed – sometimes for the first time in the patient’s adult life. Today’s techniques make this possible within an hour in most cases.

Then the ideal, relaxed bite position is recorded in data from EMG and CMS images – a computerized bite analysis of your jaw’s most natural position.

The natural result of dentures.

Neuromuscular dentures designed from this analysis fit better of course, and they serve every day as a kind of orthotic, encouraging the jaws to align in the most natural position for each patient, and relaxing those powerful muscles.

The results can be more beautiful than the patient ever imagined.

On the water with The Island News crew

By Kim Newton

Claiming to be allergic to salt water and not being excited about any type of exercise, I must admit that I wasn’t too thrilled about being challenged by Nikki Hardison, our general manager, to a paddle boarding adventure with my colleagues. I don’t enjoy sweating or sore muscles, but Tim Lovette of Higher Ground assured me that if I would just give him a chance, he would prove to me that paddle boarding would be my new favorite activity.

My biggest fear was falling off the board and being swept away by the river. I could picture myself flopping around like a flounder trying to get back on that board.

Tim assured me that no one had ever fallen off during one of his paddle boarding excursions. That statement just convinced me that I would be the first…but I was wrong!

Not only was it easy to stay on the paddle board, it was exhilarating. The ease of pushing the board through the water reminded me of paddling a canoe, but it was more fun because you are standing up, so you get a magnificent view of the river and the amazing Lowcountry scenery.

Much like riding a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you become. Tim instructed us to look at the horizon, lean forward just a bit, and start paddling. Off we went! My sister, Elizabeth, quickly took the lead. Of course, she is 10 years younger and in pretty good shape, but Nikki and I were right on her heals, proving that anyone can do this!

We paddled along in front of The Fillin’ Station and then on past the Lady’s Island Marina. We enjoyed the summer breeze, the dolphins passing by and the egrets

in the trees. What an amazing place we live in, and how different it is viewed from the river with no boat engine humming in the background. Only the sound of the soft lapping of the water hitting your board. We even went over a few waves when a boat went by. And none of us fell off!

You wouldn’t believe how quickly I turned into a really fast paddler when I heard thunder in the distance. Those summer storms can sneak up in a hurry! I zipped right past the crowd and back to the dock. But even after my burst of energy, I still wasn’t too sore the next day. I would recommend that you give this activity a try, even if you feel like you’re not necessarily the active type.

When you have an instructor like Tim who brings the equipment for you and shows you the ropes, it’s a breeze.

Give Tim a call and for only $40 you can enjoy a relaxing day on the river. And get a little exercise too! Yes, I might actually do it again!

UNTIL NEXT YEAR...

THE WATER FESTIVAL WRAPS UP AN AWESOME WEEK!

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community CHRIS CANADAY BEAUFORT, SOUTH CAROLINA 2016 WATER FESTIVAL COMMODORE

“Water Festival volunteers are like

one big family.”

It takes dozens of volunteers with a variety of titles to put together the Beaufort Water Festival every year. Chris Canaday spent time as assistant treasurer, treasurer, sponsors coordinator, sales and admissions coordinator, parks coordinator and sports coordinator before taking on the role of program coordinator in this, his 11th year of volunteering.

“My wife, Stacey, actually volunteered for two years as the chairperson for Children’s Day before I became involved,” Chris explains. “I attended a Water Festival crew picnic with her and when Jack Little, who was the event treasurer at the time, said he was looking for an assistant, I said I would do it. I’ve been a Beaufort Water Festival volunteer ever since that day.”

As program coordinator, Chris oversees the other nine coordinators on staff. His experience in many of the positions comes in handy as he offers assistance and guidance as they each work toward meeting the individual requirement of their respective positions.

Born and raised in Beaufort, Chris says he can’t imagine living anywhere else. It’s possible, though, that Port Royal comes in a close second to Beaufort.

Chris spends his days as the finance manager for the town of Port Royal. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Financial Management from Clemson University, a Master of Science degree in Sports Administration from Florida State University and he’s a Certified Government Finance Officer through the Government Finance

Officers Association of South Carolina.

In addition to his wife Stacey’s involvement with Water Festival (this year she’s serving as the productions coordinator), Chris’s dad was a Water Festival volunteer when Chris was young. But it was under Chris’s watch as sports coordinator last year that the family’s most interesting Water Festival story occurred.

As Chris tells is, “The last Friday of Festival is the day of the Bed Race where one person sits on a hospital bed/gurney and four runners push the bed down Bay Street for about a quarter mile hoping for the fastest time. Last year a big storm rolled in just as the Bed Race was finishing. In the downpour/water spout that ensued, someone actually made off with two of the beds! Don’t know how or why, but they did.”

Chris and Stacey are parents to Hayden, age 11, and Rowan, age 7. Both boys attend Riverview Charter School. The family enjoys boating and spending time at the beach.

With his heart in Water Festival, Chris encourages others to get involved with the Beaufort community. “Have fun. Volunteer for the right reasons. Remember that what we do is about the community and not us as individuals.

If you aren’t having fun and you are just looking to pad your resume, get out. Water Festival volunteers are like one big family. We are there for each other through thick and thin. We have the best volunteer crew ever! And I cannot wait for next year!”

two things that never lie Two things never lie: your checkbook and your calendar.

Every time we make a choice about how we spend our time and money we are making choices that reflect something about what we value.

Making tough and often emotional choices lies at the heart of planning for a secure financial future. One of the biggest mistakes we make as we approach planning for the future is failing to realize how often we make decisions that do not match what we say is really important to us. We often say that time with family is the most important thing, but does the way we spend our time reflect that?

Does the way we spend or save money reflect what we say

we value?

I heard somewhere that the average American family spends more time planning a trip to Disneyworld than they spend thinking about and planning for their financial future.

From experience, I’m not sure that’s far off. So one of the very best things we can do to make a difference in our financial lives is simply to THINK ABOUT IT, and then be radically self aware about what our calendars and checkbooks say about our priorities.

If we don’t like what we see, we can slowly start to make changes and hopefully repeating that process will give us a great chance at ending up at the right place.

Give us a call today. Lets get a check up to see if you are going where you want to go.

Supper lunch bunch

A first timer’s experience at the annual Lowcountry Supper

By Molly Ingram

It was my first Water Festival and first Lowcountry supper on the waterfront.

I really wasn’t sure what to expect. But what I got was what I have come to expect from my Beaufort neighbors and friends.

First, there was a plan. I was to be in line no later than 5:45 p.m. which, being a good girls scout, I was. Quickly joined

by Elizabeth Harding Newberry, copublisher of The Island News, and Nikki Hardison (our General Manager) and her husband, Bubba, the gang was now assembled. Before we could say “Hey y’all”, a staffer was there to take our tickets and put a very complicated wrist band on us. By the time the line started moving, there was literally no waiting. A lovely lady at the very front of the food line asked politely, “Do you just love shrimp?” to which I gave an affirmative and a huge pile of gorgeous shrimp appeared on my plate. Yummy sausage, corn, cole slaw, a roll and watermelon followed in quick succession.

And off we trundled to find a spot to enjoy this feast. Amazingly to me, finding a great place to sit wasn’t that hard. Clearly people who have done this before know exactly where they want to sit and there were seats arranged artfully for the family to assemble. And as soon as we had our spot, two of the team headed off to secure some cocktails to go with our lovely supper.

14

Finally seated, and thirst quenched, Elizabeth asked me if I know how to peal the shrimp. “No, not really,” I said. I figured I would just bulldoze my way through it. How hard could it be? She says, “Well, first you put your thumb here, and kind of wiggle the tail.”

“Then you put your fingernail through the center part and pop the shrimp from his shell.” Piece of cake. By golly, I’ve got it! Did it taste better than any other shrimp I’ve ever had? Maybe. It was darn good which could have been a function of the master chef ’s they had working in the kitchen or the ambiance of sitting by the water while listening to Marjory Lee perform, or maybe it was the company. It doesn’t really matter.

What I saw all around me were friends and families talking, laughing, and enjoying the evening. That seems to be the underlying formula for a successful Water Festival. Have fun with your friends. Bed races down the main street?

flying across the water? Outstanding performers during the evening? Local craftsmen offering so many wonderful things to take home? All these things come together every day to make the Water Festival the special summer event

that it is. If you missed it this year, put it on the calendar for next year because I am convinced that this needs to be a yearly “must do” for all of us. They could call it “Shrimp for the Soul” because that is exactly what it feeds.

Known for other things, she said

By Celia Strong

Really, just so you know, that title has nothing to do with anything. But I couldn’t stop myself. My “working” title was “A New Wine Rolles In.” Referring to a new grape with a multitude of names. And, Rolle is not the only new name we’re going to get to learn today.

It seems, as we do our explorations, that many varieties are known by more than one name. And, over the years and lessons, it’s come to us as DNA testing to get some of them right. CSIs—that we are.

Now, starting at the beginning, we have our new variety for this week.

Vermentino. This is a white grape variety that is found primarily around the Mediterranean. In Italy, it is widely planted in Sardinia as well as Liguria and Piedmont. (In Liguria, it is called “Pigato,” and in Piedmont it is called “Favorita.” See, already we have three names for one grape. Four, really, really.)

A few plantings in Tuscany are making richer style wines from Vermentino. In southeastern France, in the Languedoc and Provence areas, it is grown as “Rolle.” And, recently, there has been success with the variety from Corsica, too. (Actually, some Vermentino is grown in parts of California, too! But, we need to limit ourselves today.)

Over the years, there have been many discussions and studies on whether this variety, under these different names, is actually the same or related or what. For us, this week, let’s assume if they aren’t

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

the same that they are at least related to each other. Phew.

Overall, wines from Vermentino are dry, with bright acidity. They have citrus aromas, with a clean minerality; they are medium bodied and are not often barrel aged. In Sardinia, where wine producers have started to really concentrate on Vermentino, there is a range of styles beginning to be noticed. They tend to be rich and fuller bodied with lemon, ginger and assorted nut flavors. From some specific Sardinian areas, they can also show an herbal character. From Liguria, the wines are a bit lighter bodied, but still crisp. From Tuscany, they have more texture with citrus, floral and mineral notes. No matter where these wines come from, though, the food pairings that work best with them are seafood. Fried, of course! Ceviche.

Steamed or boiled with fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice. Seafood dumplings and empanadas. Even stuffed fish, like flounder. But, let’s move on to our Vermentinos. As you can imagine, there are not tons and tons of them available.

But, aren’t we lucky. The ones we do have here are excellent!

Our first Vermentino is from Corsica. It is the Orin Swift Corse, made from 100% Vermentino.

Many of us are familiar with this producer’s “Location” series of wines. Made from grapes grown in different wine areas around the world. Corse is the newest one in this collection. The powers that be at Orin Swift spent three years researching and developing the vineyards and winery for this project.

All to make a truly Corsican style Vermentino wine. These grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and not barrel aged. So - the wine is crisp and lively with floral aromatics and flavors that include fresh, green apples, bittersweet almonds and Thai basil. This wine is great for drinking all year long, with seafood for sure, but also with light vegetable dishes, Asian foods, and mild pasta salads.

Yum! (The label on this wine needs a quick mention. It is a picture of a hand-crafted shepherd’s knife, like so many Corsicans carry.)

For $17.99.

Our second Vermentino wine is from the Provence area of southern France. This wine is a collaboration between the Perrin family, known

for their wines in the Rhône Valley, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, known for other things. The grapes are actually grown in the vineyards at Chateau Miraval, owned by the Jolie-Pitt family. The Vermentino grapes grow in the northwest part of the property, where the soil is clay and limestone.

With subsoil that is particularly well suited for this white variety. But, it is still called “Rolle” here. Not Vermentino. Ninety percent of these grapes are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, ten percent in barrels. There is a little bit of Grenache Blanc blended in.

This wine is bright and clear and very pale. Its nose has white flowers, peaches and sweet spices like licorice. (Sounds strange, but it is delicious!) The mineral character runs through it, from front to back. And lingers forever. A minimal label on this bottle lets us really see how light the wine is. For $29.99.

So, again, we have some great new wines to try.

Really new. Again, for this wonderful weather and the great summer foods we eat here. So, while they may or may not be known for other things, we should make sure we know them. Enjoy.

Break these rules for better summer grilling Provided by Family Features Summer is in full swing, so now is the perfect time to throw caution to the wind and break some long-standing grilling adages. Doing so will help you get the most out of your grilling—and more importantly, enjoy your food even more.

Russ Faulk, author of the cookbook “Cook: Out” and grill master for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, and Meathead Goldwyn, of Amazingribs. com, offer three grilling rules you can break with abandon.

16

Rule #1 - Only flip once While many avid grillers stick by the “only flip once” rule, Faulk advises grillers to flip as often as they want.

“Especially with steaks and chops – turning more frequently can lead to

the island news | july 30-august 5, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

more even cooking. You can build up a very flavorful crust,” he says. Just don’t flip too early. Be sure to wait for the food to release itself from the grill grate.

Rule #2 - Oil the grill grates To prevent food from sticking, many

opt for the rule of spreading oil right on the grill grates. Instead, as Goldwyn recommends, brush oil on your food, not the grates. He explains that when the food is placed on the grill, the oil will penetrate the small crevasses in both the food and the grates, creating a smooth and slippery surface that will help to prevent sticking.

Rule # 3 - Load up the grill “Keep at least 25-30 % of open space on the grill with no fire below it,” said Faulk. This space can be used to move food to when the action heats up.

The good that has come from a Beaufort tragedy

By Bill Rauch

The numbers show the difference Beaufort’s Betsey Robinson (19452015) made.

In 1989 her 13 year-old son, Reynolds, was accidentally shot and killed by a nine year-old neighbor who was playing with his family’s .22 rifle. The tragedy was the impetus for Betsey to take on the cause of children and gun safety. Reynolds’ death, Betsey knew, had been a preventable tragedy and she did not want other families to have to suffer as she and her family had.

One life saved would be worth the effort.

In 1990, 10 more South Carolina children (aged 0-17) were killed by the accidental discharge of a firearm, according to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control’s (DHEC) statistics. That was the year Betsey set her strategy.

From 1990 through 1994, Betsey Robinson crisscrossed South Carolina, traveled up and down the coast to Washington and anywhere someone would listen quietly promoting her Children’s Firearm Protection Act, a proposed new South Carolina state law that would, along with some mandatory educational aspects, make it a misdemeanor for an adult to leave a gun unsecured, if that gun is then used by a minor to injure someone.

The purpose of the proposed law was to get South Carolinians to keep their guns locked up when they weren’t using them. In the five-year period from 1990 to 1994, according to DHEC’s figures, 50 South Carolina youngsters were killed by the accidental discharge of firearms, or 10 young lives lost per year.

Getting the new law passed was an uphill fight from the start, a fight that came to a head in 1995. That year, Betsey’s husband Bill says, the effort took over Betsey’s life. She went everywhere and talked to everyone trying to cobble together enough votes to get the bill through the South Carolina House. She told her story. She told Reynolds’ story. She told the stories of other families who had lost a child. Again and again she told the stories. She worked tirelessly in 1995, and for a mom who had lost a child this was a wrenching kind of public work where all her emotions were on the table. There were stories in the papers, interviews on television, and

features in magazines. Everyone, pro and con, was talking about it.

That year, according to DHEC, 11 more South Carolina children were killed by the accidental discharge of a firearm.

As the 1995 legislative session drew to a close it became clear the coalition Betsey put together would be unable to beat the National Rifle Association (NRA) who, according to Betsey’s son, Clark Robinson, had made stopping the new law a 1995 priority. “Whenever Mom would reflect on this she would talk about the NRA as the main obstacle to her efforts,” he recalled last week, drawing the distinction between gun control -- that he does not favor -and gun safety that he does. Like many Beaufort youngsters, Clark Robinson grew up hunting and fishing with his dad. In the fall it was deer season, followed by ducks in the winter with an occasional dove shoot thrown into the mix. Clark and his dad, Bill, know guns and they do not favor limiting their use. But they are careful to lock them up when they aren’t using them.

The great battle ended, as these things do, with a whimper. Betsey was unable to gather up the votes, and so she had lost.

And defeated is certainly how she felt as she returned home to Beaufort, to Bill, to go back to working at the church, to go back to reading to children in the schools, and to be a loving grandmother in the ensuing years to her 12 grandchildren.

But DHEC’s numbers don’t tell the story of a defeat. In 1996, the number of

South Carolina children who were killed by the accidental discharge of a firearm dropped to seven. In 1997, it was five. By 2000, it was two, and since then six is the highest number it has reached. Thus in broad terms it can be said the frequency of these tragedies has been cut more than in half since 1995. The figures tell a particularly dramatic story because South Carolina’s population grew by roughly 25 percent from 1990-2010, from 3.4 million in 1990 to 4.6 million in 2010, according to the U.S. Census’ figures.

Francis Rushton, a Beaufort pediatrician for 32 years, a former president of the South Carolina Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a key part of Betsey Robinson’s Children’s Firearm Protection Act coalition continues to follow the children with guns issue. “Both the Robinsons and I were astonished to realize that although our legislation never passed, the gun owning public appeared to have listened to the public health message,” Dr. Rushton explained last week. “The gun owning public has become much more safety conscious about the issues with children and firearms, and there is a decrease in the number of firearms that children come into contact with.”

Betsey Robinson’s legacy, The Children’s Firearm Protection Act campaign, as we view it now, was a textbook case of effective public advocacy. The message was right.

The messenger and the level of her intensity were right. The time was right. And even if ultimately the politics were wrong for

Betsey Robinson

getting the bill passed, the public education that resulted from the effort stuck, and the message took on a life of its own with pediatricians, teachers, pastors and parents picking up what Betsey started.

“This effort took a lot of Mom’s time,” Clark Robinson added last week. “From time to time she talked about quitting.

But then in 1995 she said ‘I’m going to give it my all for just this one more year.’”

The numbers show that there have now been about a hundred South Carolina children whose lives were saved because Betsey Robinson didn’t quit. We, and they, don’t know who these children are. But they are out there today playing in schoolyards, going camping and hunting and fishing with their families, and bringing joy to their grandparents. Moreover, because of her efforts and the efforts of those who took up her cause the lives of more South Carolina youngsters are saved each year.

That is the difference, it is now clear, that Betsey Robinson made.

No, I am not a robot and I have proof!

By Lee Scott

The fact that I am not a robot was recently proven by the Beaufort County Library System. The process for that verification started when the Friends of Beaufort Library notified me that the Library was starting to send out e-mails to card holders and the community about information that might interest them. If you wished to participate then all you had to do was click on the link that would connect you to the Beaufort County Library website. Once there, it was explained that the library was going to use Mail Chimp, an e-mail marketing service, to deliver messages to cardholders and if I was interested I needed to sign up.

The first step in the Mail Chimp process 18

was to provide my e-mail address and my name. The next step asked me to click on a box that said “I am not a robot” and to take a test to prove I was human.

The first screen had about nine pictures on it. The directions said: “Click on the pictures that reflect a bowl of soup.” Well, I clicked on two of them easily, but that

the island news | july 30-august 5, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

third one looked like either a bowl of spaghetti or a bowl of soup. I clicked on it and then hit send.

Well, it must have been wrong because they asked me to retry. This time the pictures were of a variety of animals and I had to figure out which one was similar to the one in the main box which was a cat. With

sweat pouring off my brow, I clicked on pictures of different cats; although truthfully one of them might have been a lion. It was then I was told I was on the e-mail list.

Eureka, I had passed! This “test” actually replaces the distorted text used by many websites. You know those strange boxes that say “Type the letters and symbols in the box”. In the box you find something like the following (jKl50gF.) So then you ask Is that the letter “L” in lower case or is that a one? What about the “0”? Is that the letter “O” or the number “0”? Personally, I have no problem with the Beaufort County Library wanting me to prove that I am not a robot. It makes sense to send e-mails to actual humans. And of course, now I have proof that I am not a robot.

How hot is too hot? Heat stroke in dogs

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

Okay, I’m beginning to understand what they mean when they say South Carolina is hot and humid during the summer. I mean really hot and humid.

I used to complain when it would get to 85 degrees with no humidity in Connecticut. I have to admit that adjusting to the new-to-me weather down here has been challenging to say the least. But it has brought up an issue I want to talk about today and that is heat stroke in dogs.

Working up a good sweat in the hot summer months may be good for you pet owners, but it can lead to heat stroke in your dog and kill him in a matter of minutes. Heat stroke is a dangerous condition that takes the lives of many animals every year. A dog’s normal body temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If it rises to 105 or 106 degrees, the dog is at risk for developing heat exhaustion. If the body temperature rises to 107 degrees, your dog has entered the dangerous zone of heat stroke. With heat stroke, irreversible organ damage and death can occur.

And any dog exercising on a hot, humid day, even with plenty of water, can become overheated. As a pet owner, you should know the dangers of overheating and what to do to prevent it. You should also know the signs of heat stroke and what to do if your dog exhibits those signs.

Mom sweats when she gets really hot

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

and that is how she cools her body down.

I can’t do that. I only sweat through my paws and so I have to pant to try and get cooler. And it is a very inefficient method of returning to a normal temperature.

Some dogs are more prone to heat stroke than others. Here is a list of at-risk types of dogs: • Dogs who have a thick coat, heart and lung problems or a short • Puppies up to 6 months of age • Large dogs over 7 years of age and small dogs over 14 years • Overweight dogs • Dogs who are overexerted • Ill dogs or those on medication • Brachycephalic dogs (short, wide heads) like pugs, English bulldogs and Boston terriers • Dogs with cardiovascular disease and/or poor circulation So what does heat stroke look like in a dog?

The earliest sign of heatstroke is excessive panting with excessive salivation. As the condition gets worse, a dog’s gums will turn dry and dark pink,

The dog days of summer aren’t just hot to humans but to their furry ones as well. Watch for signs of heat strokes and make sure to take all precautions to avoid an overly hot pup!

and the animal will become weak and may have trouble standing. At its most severe, dogs with heatstroke can develop seizures and severe bloody diarrhea. He will also appear sluggish, unresponsive and disorientated.

If your dog exhibits any of these signs, treat it as an emergency and head to your veterinarian immediately. On the way, you can cool him down with wet towels.

Once at the vet and your dog is seen by the staff, they may perform various blood tests to assess the extent of vital organ dysfunction caused by overheating.

Mildly increased temperature (less than 105°F) may only require rest, a fan to increase air circulation, fresh water to drink and careful observation. Markedly increased temperature (greater than

106°F) must be treated more aggressively.

The best treatment is prevention.

Make sure your dog always has access to plenty of fresh water. Avoid exercise during the hottest part of the day. If you are concerned your dog is becoming overheated, you should cool him down as quickly as possible with cool, not cold, water. That’s why God made shade and water hoses. So be careful out there in this hot and humid weather. Keep an eye on old Fido in the back yard even if he is just sitting peacefully. Remember, he doesn’t have to be doing something in order to get heat stroke. Watch for the panting. Hot is one thing but heat stroke is a whole different ball of wax.

What does that mean by the way?

Never knew…
