Gov. Haley talks hurricane safety By Pamela Brownstein
On Friday, June 8, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley spoke at the Beaufort County Law Enforcement Center and urged residents to take responsibility for their own safety in case of a hurricane. She said emergency officials on the local and state level are prepared should a disaster strike, and she expects the people in South Carolina to do the same. “You need to know where you’re going to go,” Haley said, if there is an evacuation. The governor and other local and state emergency responders emphasized the importance of having a preparedness plan that includes having water, batteries, a full tank of gas, and

even good tire pressure. The biggest change this year is that evacuations will not be voluntary, only mandatory. This
way, officials said, once the evacuation is issued, residents are likely to take it more seriously. Other speakers included Todd Ferguson, Beaufort County Emergency Management Director; George McKinney, Director of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division; Dick Jenkins, State Traffic Management Engineer for the Department of Transportation; and Robert Woods, Commander of the South Carolina Highway Patrol Traffic Management Unit. For more information about evacuation routes and hurricane preparedness, go to the Beaufort County website at www.bcgov.net.

City gives first approval to budget without tax hike Beaufort’s proposed budget for 201213 provides a 3 percent cost of living increase for all qualified city employees but Beaufort City Council nixed the idea of a $35 fee for private vehicles registered within the city. Instead, council directed to staff to find alternatives to the $313,390 that would have been raised by the vehicle fee. Raising the city’s stormwater management fee from the current $65 to $105 is an option proposed by City Councilman Mike Sutton. Another option is to reduce capital expenditures such as new police and fire vehicles. The $16,142,646 budget received first-reading approval Tuesday by City Council. Final review and voting is scheduled for June 26 at City Hall. “This is a balanced budget, this is a sound budget, and this is a budget that takes care of the City of Beaufort,” City Manager Scott Dadson said. “There aren’t any ‘extras’ in it, but we tried to continue the momentum we’ve started.”
The city has enjoyed stable cost structures for the past several fiscal years due to austerity on the part of the City Council and department heads who have controlled costs in a challenging economic environment yet worked to improve service delivery at the customer level, Dadson said. “These savings have allowed the city to re-invest in its self. The city has leveraged these savings into matching programs, grants, and intergovernmental agreements and is currently managing an estimated $24 million in capital investment throughout the city and has seen a rise in building permit activity, steady business license revenue, and hospitality and accommodations taxes,” he said. Included in the budget on first reading, but subject to cuts in order to balance the budget, is almost $1.1 million in capital investments, among them: • $162,753 for new police vehicles and equipment • $400,000 for a new fire truck, carried
forward from the 2012 budget • $40,000 in street and sidewalk repairs • $14,749 in park improvements at Pigeon Point, Tic-Toc and Horse Hole parks • $215,000 for a new street sweeper and other stormwater projects • $254,000 in capital needs associated with the Bladen Street and Duke Street improvements • $11,000 for a new riding mower for the Public Works Department. The proposed $35 vehicle fee would have been used to maintain the street rights of way, bike paths, sidewalks and public access easements throughout the city. Such vehicle fees aren’t uncommon in South Carolina. In recent years, Richland County levied a $20 per vehicle fee for road repairs. But Sutton and others said the vehicle fee wasn’t fair because non-city residents use the streets and sidewalks without charge. Several city residents spoke against the fee during the council’s
Tuesday night public hearing. As part of the council’s vote, council members directed Dadson and his staff to seek new ways to balance the $16.1 million FY13 budget — either by making cuts or finding alternatives to raise the $313,390. Accounting for $404,000 in the $16.1 million Beaufort budget are the cost of living adjustment and increased employer contributions to retirement systems, said Dr. Kim Foxworth, director of human resources for Beaufort. Employer contributions to the State Retirement systems are increasing effective July 1. Employer contributions for the State Retirement System of South Carolina increased from more than 1 percent and the Police Officers Retirement System contributions increased from almost as much. The impact of the cost of living adjustment and the increased contribution to the retirement systems is an increase of $403,961 to the salary and benefit budget.
Chamber, County Council urge Congress to revoke ‘sequestration’ Lowcountry residents are urged to contact South Carolina’s Congressional delegation to encourage a bipartisan solution to the dismantling of America’s military by the “poison pill” of sequestration, Beaufort County Council and the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Military Enhancement Committee agree. Monday evening, Beaufort County Council unanimously approved a resolution opposing sequestration. The resolution encourages residents to tell members of Congress to find a better way to balance the federal budget. Residents can visit www.beaufortmec. com to find a complete list of SC
Congressional emails, key points and sample letters regarding the potential defense cuts. Beaufort and Port Royal’s three military installations inject more than $1.2 billion annually to Beaufort County’s economy. An estimated 50 percent of northern Beaufort County tourism is military-related — another $300 million. Also, $70-plus million of new construction is under way at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, part of a planned $350 million upgrade to accommodate five squadrons of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters destined for the air station. Those dollars ripple through the local economy, helping support barber shops,
restaurants, doctors’ offices and stores, said Blakely Williams, president of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. As a result of the failure of the Super Committee to reach agreement on budget reduction measures, the Congress enacted a “sequestration” process to begin Jan. 1, 2013, which will cut approximately $600 billion from the Department of Defense over the next 10 years — on top of the agreed-to Defense Department reduction of about $500 billion. Worse still, the sequestration cuts are across-the-board, affecting every element of the military, said Col. Jack Snider, vicechairman of the Military Enhancement Committee and a former F/A-18 pilot
and commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “The answer to all this is for we the people to make our members of Congress do the right thing,” he said. “They need to work this out, they need to find a solution that uses a surgeon’s scalpel to reduce spending in a precise and appropriate manner. Sequestration is using a bomb that damages everything, and Beaufort’s three military installations would be heavily damaged.” Beaufort leaders have met in recent days to craft a strategy to galvanize support for a continued strong military — one that reduces spending in a controlled and precise manner.

Enterprise makes safe transit, from sea to shining sea By Cpl. Rubin J. Tan
Last month, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 sailed through the Strait of Hormuz aboard aircraft carrier USS Enterprise one month after leaving its homeport of Norfolk, Va. Iran has recently had the intention to control the amount of transits through their territorial waters and the Strait of Hormuz. “By sailing through the strait aboard a United States warship, we are demonstrating that we will continue to maintain freedom of navigation and will support our allies in the gulf while deterring possible enemies who may want to close the Strait of Hormuz and impact the economies around the world,” said the Carrier Strike Group 12 Command Master Chief Michael Manning. The strait, also known as the world oil transit chokepoint, is part of the international waterway connecting the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Sea. Any vessel, regardless of host nation, can use the international waterway. The carrier is supporting maritime security operations in the United States’ 5th and 6th Fleet area of responsibility before becoming decommissioned later this year after more than 50 years of service. The USS Enterprise faced many

potential dangers during its transit such as collisions with other ships due to high traffic, fog, surface-to-air threats, air-to-air threats and surface-to-surface threats. Carrier Air Wing 1 aircraft aboard the Enterprise was employed to provide aerial support during the difficult conditions. “Navy and Marine Corps aviation platforms on an aircraft carrier collectively train to protect our assets and to be proficient in combat scenarios,” said Lt.

Col. Nathan Miller, VMFA-251 executive officer and native of Lapeer, Mich. “The beauty of a carrier is being able to go where our nation needs us to show foreign diplomacy or force projection.” Appropriate vigilant posts and extra navigation details were used due to the restrictive maneuvering environment and to provide standard defensive precautions. “It was a simple freedom of navigation and operation, not a prelude of war and service members aboard the USS

Protect the clumsy and hide the secrets By Will McCullough
A few days ago, I was previewing a home with another agent. (I won’t give her name. I’ll just say that she’s one of the two people in the picture that accompanies this column and, chivalrously, leave it at that.) It had rained the night before and, as she stepped out onto the property’s dock, she slipped and fell on the wet wood leaving her with a head to toe series of bruises. In fairness, I should mention that the unnamed person in question could likely find a way to fall during a laying down contest, but the fact remains that the entrance to this dock was at a very steep angle and it would be easy for anyone, not just a gravity-challenged person, to fall and get hurt. A little “noskid” in an area that obviously needed it could be the difference between selling a home and getting sued. Here’s my point: We live in a litigious society and, if you’re inviting complete strangers to come in and tour your home, it is in you best interest to take a good look at it in advance from a safety perspective. In addition, it may be wise to take a few minutes and ensure that items of an overly personal nature disappear during showings. So, based on personal experiences, below please find some home staging advice that goes beyond all the standard “put out fresh

flowers”, “hide family pictures” and “get a new welcome mat” guidance. Some people are accident prone: It’s also a fact that some of those clumsy folks are going to eventually tour your home. Before you put your home on the market, take some time to tour your property constantly asking yourself the question “How would a clumsy person injure/kill themselves here?” Fix those loose steps and railings, cover those open outlets and lay down a bit of no-skid. Some people bring kids: As agents, we all do our best to watch over our buyer’s kids while showing a home. The parents, obviously, do the same. But accidents can and do happen and it may be a good idea to consider stowing poisons, knives and scissors if you are opening up your home for others to tour in your absence. Some people are stupid: OK, in this case I’m referencing the sellers. Let me start by saying I personally have no problem with guns. I grew up hunting, was a Marine for 10 years and I’m completely
comfortable stating that Deena and I both have concealed carry permits. So here’s the little bit of staging advice I would have believed unnecessary earlier in my real estate career. If you own a gun, do not leave it loaded and laying around during a scheduled showing. Three times in my career, I’ve come across a loaded gun in plain sight during a showing. One on a bed stand, one leaned against a wall and one, yes believe it or not, lying in the middle of a kitchen island. Trust me, I’m all for the Second Amendment, but if you’re inviting strangers to come in and tour your home, make it disappear behind lock and key. Some people are thieves: As individual agents, we often show property to groups of people. The happy potential buying couple is often accompanied by their parents and friends. We all honestly try our absolute best to keep everyone with us as we focus on showing your home but it is often inevitable that individuals will linger and split off in different directions. If it’s valuable to you, it’s probably valuable to someone else. Make it vanish in advance before you discover, months later, that it’s vanished permanently. This also includes prescription drugs. Some pets eat people: OK, that’s probably not true but some people think it is. Potential buyers want to see
every inch of your property if they are seriously considering it and many will not tour the back yard or garage despite your advance assurances that your dog is “friendly.” I love pets too, but if at all possible, make them go before you show. Keep in mind that you want them to write an offer and I have had buyers refuse to get out of the car for fear that “Cujo” was going to pin them down by the jugular the moment we got out. Some people have secrets: And you might be one of them. So before you allow your home to be shown, please ensure that your collection of porn and/or illegal drugs disappears. Buyers want to look in closets to determine if their stuff will fit and your alphabetized collection of freaky DVDs will be in plain sight when they open the door (true story). Buyers will also want to tour every inch of your 5 acre parcel to ensure that you are not growing cannabis on the grounds when they find your baggies on the vanity filled with it but they may be hesitant to do so because you are also “breeding pit bulls” on the property (yep, another true story). So in closing, if you’re looking to sell your home in a competitive market, be sure to focus on the curb appeal and hide pictures and clutter. Oh, and the porn, drugs, valuables, rabid critters and dangerous stuff too.

Synopsis: This winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival delves into the emotional life of a troubled 11-year-old boy, Cyril. When his father abandons him, he first obsessively searches for his bicycle — placing his last bit of hope in this symbol of their relationship. Dumped in an orphanage by his father, he becomes the weekend ward of a kind h a i r d r e s s e r, who seems surprised to find herself so determined to help him. With his wild, unpredictable behavior and his disastrous search on his bike for his father, Cyril risks losing the one person who cares and is trying to help him. Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 7.4; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 96/Audience: 78. Good marks. Newspaper Critics: The New York Times: “vibrant, at once new and seemingly timeless.” Previewer Comments: This World childhood human drama is in French with English subtitles. It is a film about rejection of a child and the child’s quest to gain love from a parent that is unwilling to give it. The desperate need of Cyril to find his father so he can surely live with him again and be loved, drives Cyril to be angry, disbelieving, irrational and unloving to others who are trying to help. The child actor in the lead role is simply outstanding. The film will resonate with most of us as we recall occasions when we questioned our parent’s love or desired more love and acceptance than they were seemly willing to give. See it! Rated: PG-13 for mature themes. Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts at 843-521-4145.

Through her own experience with a stroke, she shares insights into our ability to use both sides of our brain independently and that through the use of the right mind, we have amazing capabilities to heal and to find nirvana by choice. This insight gives us great power to choose to live our lives very differently. To simplify, our left brain is our “thinking” brain and our right brain is our “feeling” brain. The left brain judges, reasons and analyzes. Our right brain is our creative brain, where we visualize, express emotions or receive intuitions. The left brain is the “chatter” brain, the one that sometimes simply won’t be quiet, thinks it knows best but more often, the one that gets in the way and keeps us stuck in negative patterns or behaviors. As an example, you’re probably familiar with the left brain when you’re thinking about a person whom you need to have a difficult conversation with and you go

into the internal “point/counter point” dialogue. “I’ll say this, she’ll say that, then I’ll say that, then she’ll say this,” and on and on and on — repeat. This can go on for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years. Have you ever noticed these dialogues seldom go the way you thought they would, and because they are often calculated with an energy of defense or “I am rightness” they often spiral so far away from their intended track, that now matters are worse? Or, is this just me? It has been said that we have 17,000 thoughts per day and that the majority are negative, such as worry, fear, judgment or anger. Unless we are paying attention, we don’t even realize it, yet these thoughts
are controlling our physiology constantly, whether we are paying attention or not. A trick I have learned is when the chatter brain is on a roll and I tune into how I feel, I can simply think, “Left brain, be quiet” and tune into a feeling of peace, joy and compassion from the right brain. It is amazing to feel the discernible shift within the brain and body. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat it every few seconds or minutes until the negative loop pattern is broken, but with practice, it becomes easier. Try it at night when you are awakened at 2 a.m. for what seems like no apparent reason. When you catch your chatterbox left brain start to think about yesterday, tomorrow or next year, or chewing about all of the things you forgot to do or the things that yet to be done in the future, or getting frustrated looking at the clock knowing you have to get up in a couple of hours, simply think, “Left brain, be quiet,” take a deep breath and feel what happens. Allow your right brain to feel the bliss of the moment, repeat as necessary until you drift back off to sleep. With practice, you create a new pattern in the brain making it much easier to fall and stay asleep. Remember that you have great power in how you use your mind, so choose your 17,000 thoughts to empower your personal health, happiness and success. Live Well ... Have Fun!

High on the Hog but oops! Low on the Food By Lanier Laney
For such a beautiful weekend, Habitat for Humanity had no idea they’d be eaten alive by a hungry hoard of meat lovers at their first High on the Hog BBQ Festival! They were quite overwhelmed and not prepared for how many people would turn up and pig-out at this new charity event, unfortunately running out of delicious grub both days. Said Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry Executive Director Brenda Dooley, “We would like everyone to know that we were overwhelmed by the community’s outstanding support. We apologize to those who didn’t get to the festival before the food sold out, but we WILL do better in our second year.” It’s not uncommon for many
of the fundraising events I cover to run out of food, even for organizations that have been doing it for years. So I say we cut them some slack this year as it was their first time out and they had no idea how many people would show up to support them. Beyond the food running out, it was a real fun success. The food was terrific both days and the setting under the big oaks at Whitehall Plantation on Lady’s Island surrounded by the Beaufort River was superb. The
fine, humidity free summer day contributed to the big turnout. Next year, they will probably have double the barbecue contestants, once the word about this event gets around the state. So there will be double the food! I’ve also been assured that they will take steps to make sure everyone gets fed one way or another next year. The money that was raised is going to a great cause; Habitat is using part of it to complete a house being built on the corner of Church and Congress streets
downtown for a lovely family that was at the event. It’s neat when you can see your charity dollars at work, actually building a better future for a family. Big thanks to the more than 125 hard-working volunteers at the event. Celebrity judges on Friday night were Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, Port Royal Mayor Sam Murray, Councilman Mike Sutton, and local business leaders Kevin Cuppia, Gary and Donna Lang, and Doug Massalon. There were 14 competing barbecue cookers from all over the state, but Beaufort made a very strong showing with three of the best being from here: Sea Eagle Market (Craig Reaves), S’Lowcountry Q (Quentin Tedder) and Still Smokin’ (Harry Flint), who won two of the top spots!

social diary New At the Port Royal Farmers Market You know when there is a line eight people deep waiting to buy an item at the Farmers Market that they are selling something good. In Rick and Deborah Stone’s case, it’s more than 10 varieties of organic bread made in their new mobile wood-fired hearth bread oven. The made on-the-spot baguettes sell out first (so get there early) followed by the wonderful hot Golden Semolina loafs covered in poppy and sesame seeds that he makes later in the morning. Not to be missed are the English Muffin Bread and Seedy Rye loaf which are both amazing toasted and made into BLT sandwiches with fresh tomatoes. There’s also cinnamon rum raisin and rosemary olive sourdough. The breads are amazing right out of the oven, but they all freeze well, just thaw and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes and the crust will be crispy again.
Plums holds Locally Grown Wine Dinner Plums celebrated local farmers and the South Carolina Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Initiative with their Fourth Annual Locally Grown Wine Dinner on Tuesday, June 12 before a sold out crowd. St. Helena’s Dempsey Farms was highlighted, and Megan Westmeyer from the Sustainable Seafood Initiative in Charleston spoke about environmentally friendly seafood and discussed the evenings seafood selections and why they were wise, sustainable choices. Sustainable seafood refers to fish that are caught or farmed with consideration for the long-term viability of their species and for the ocean’s ecological balance as a whole. The dinner was paired with wines from Ben Arnold, and began with an amazing organic vodka cocktail infused with lime, basil and cucumber. Ben Arnold Representative John Julius described each wine selection and how it complemented the evening’s seafood selections. (By the way, I’ve heard the word-of-mouth on the new Plums in Bluffton is great! Congratulations, Lantz!) Oh and save the date — Plums (Beaufort) is having a beer dinner to benefit The Independence Fund on July 12. Photo by Paul Nurnberg of Nurnberg Photography.

Take it easy By Jack Sparacino
An old friend from work recently wrote to me from New Mexico about a trip he made to Walmart. He thought I might get a kick out of seeing one of the newer products they had for sale, and he included a picture. The item is called “Batter Blaster.” It’s pancake batter in a pressurized can, made by a company in Austin, Texas. No time to mix up your own batter? Too much work involved? Well, just heat up a griddle and spray away. Minutes later you’ve got pancakes or waffles, and in four different flavors no less. Life is good, right? I was so excited about this invention, I grabbed my buddy “Flip” (he loves pancakes) and we started brainstorming other new product ideas to help people avoid lifting any more fingers than absolutely necessary. Here are some of our initial concepts. We hope you like them, too. 1. “Batter Up.” This one was directly inspired by Batter Blaster. But instead of using a whipped cream type dispensing system, we think we can save even more time by having the batter come in a pocket inhaler. It could go right on your keychain and be used anytime, anywhere, something like some people treat asthma symptoms. No fuss, no muss, super low calories, plus we’re designing attractive little containers for it — including one that glows in the dark and therefore doubles as a handy map light! 2. “Mow-bot.” Too busy or tired to mow your lawn? Problem solved with the fabulous “Mow-bot.” This is a fully automated mower that can be programmed to open your garage door, cruise onto your yard and mow away in a precise, customized pattern. When it’s
Jack Sparacino has a Ph.D. in psychology from The University of Chicago. He has published over 20 articles in psychological and medical journals. He is retired from United Technologies Corporation and now lives with his wife, Jane and their two dogs on St. Helena Island. His hobbies include fishing, clamming, crabbing, shrimping and writing.
finished, it propels itself back into the garage, turns itself off and lowers the door. All you do is add gas periodically. But fear not, we’re thinking about an all electric model that even includes a lawn feeder and grass catcher in the rear. Take that, R2-D2! 3. “Yacht-o-matic.” Here it is, folks, the inflatable, fully portable yacht we’ve all been waiting for. Pull the cord, and it inflates to full size (80 feet!) in just seconds. Pull a second cord, and the bar inflates as the ice maker is activated. Pull a third cord and, well you get the idea. All electronics currently come separately but we’re working on something built in (the “mad dash” kit). 4. “Dip-lo-matic.” Too much trouble to go to school? Too much studying, too long a drive? Got all the schooling you need but just can’t find some of your old diplomas? This software lets you print your own degrees, complete with fantastic graphics such as photos of your very own self hard at work thinking about studying. Now just to keep everything on the up and up, each diploma automatically appears with the disclaimer “not a real diploma, we made this up” in bold letters in the lower right hand corner. Well, at least it’s good for parties and a few laughs. Invite some “diplomats.” 5. “Cliffhanger Notes.” Lots of us would like to read more, but it just takes so much TIME to really read a book carefully and absorb it. Our notes are really 5-7 simple bullet points on a single page, with all the valuable content and major lessons
of any book (including those pesky college textbooks) summarized in 70 words or less. Imagine “hanging up” an entire library in just a short PowerPoint file on your computer! 6. “Pants-o-Plenty.” The idea here is so simple we’re absolutely sure it’ll be a big hit: reversible pants for guys who don’t want to do too much laundering. We’re also considering special shirts with Velcro strips on the front that make it amazingly convenient to stick on a tie (regular or bow)… or even suspenders! ( Jackets sold separately.) 7. “Joke in the Box.” Too tired or laid back to learn jokes or borrow someone else’s stories and anecdotes? Relax, we’ve got you covered with “Joke in the Box.” This is a potential iPhone app which includes jokes and stories told IN YOUR OWN VOICE, all at the push of a button. Amaze your friends and delight strangers you meet at parties. ( Just move your lips a little in synch with some of the sounds if you’ve got the strength and maybe no one will know the difference.) 8. “Baconinajiff.” Love bacon but hate to deal with cooking your own with all that grease and mess? Don’t even want to cook the kind that goes directly into your microwave because it takes too long and you have to sort of guess at the timing? Well, now you can have great tasting bacon-like goop (we’re trying to think of a more appealing term) in a convenient squeeze tube. 9. “Designated Patient.” Too busy to
see the doctor? Can’t be hassled with those unpleasant tests and procedures? Now you can just dial our special 800 number and arrange for Jack someone else who’s Sparacino roughly your age to undergo all that medical business for you. Sure it may cost an arm and a leg and not always be in your express interest, but we are trying to save you time and hassle, right? 10. “Quantitative Easement.” This one is for those of us who sometimes feel numerically challenged or just want to make sure they get a math problem or other calculation done right. Call our other special 800 number and pose your question to a genuine mathematician — or at least someone whose “Dip-lomatic” degree claims they are one — and put your tired mind at rest. No problem too complex, no algorithm beyond us. In fact, it’s as easy as one, two, three point six nine nine ninety nine. In fact, that’s about what we’ll charge! So that’s our preliminary list of fabulous ideas. Here’s the only problem. We’re excited about these new products but don’t have the time or energy to develop, produce or market any of them right now. Maybe we need to write some software or find a cool gizmo to expedite the entire process. You know, it would just “blast” ideas right through to sales and shipping. As long as we don’t have to work too hard or often, it should be a snap. We’ll get to it, at some point. Maybe. But for now, we’ll just take it easy. Pass the pancakes, please.
Keeping culinary diversity is crucial for Beaufort By Pamela Brownstein
When I heard recently that Port Royal Pasta Company on Ribaut Road had closed, I was surprised. It seemed to be busy, and there was a buzz about the food. When I heard that Heckler’s in Beaufort Town Center had closed, I was shocked. The food was really good, and it appeared to me to be a popular place, especially during karaoke night. Then when I heard that The Tooting Egret downtown was closing, I was floored. The food there was excellent, and I always saw people eating outside. It was personally upsetting because the general manager Matt had been so generous by donating his time

and knowledge of wines to help us throw a fundraiser at the restaurant that was just fabulous. The restaurant businesses is tough, and no more so in a still-struggling economy, so I wish all the employees a speedy job recovery. But in the midst of this depressing news, there is hope on the horizon. The old Koth’s grocery store on North Street will likely see new life as “Ole Cantina,”
a barbecue joint is slated for the former coffee shop in Port Royal, and a bakery could make its home on Carteret Street. As sad as it is to see local businesses close their doors, the news of these ventures opens up many windows of possibility and opportunity. I feel fortunate that The Island News is able to feature local restaurants weekly. Eateries graciously open their doors to the Lunch Bunch, and we provide our readers with a sampling of what the menu offers. Our goal is to reach diners who might otherwise not have known about the restaurants. I often drive past a place and think, “That looks good, I wonder what
it’s like? Or, I wonder when it’s open?” Hopefully, our articles help take the guess work out for would-be clients. Also, our Dining Guide on page 26 lists all the local spots and is a good resource for the question that arises at least once a week in our house: “What do you want for dinner?” It’s fun to pick any place on that page, especially somewhere you’ve never been before, and try it at least once. For Beaufort, maintaining our identity as a worthwhile destination depends a great deal on providing delicious, unique, affordable restaurants that appeal to both residents and tourists. So get out there and support your local businesses!

school news
A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Partnership is building positive momentum at Whale Branch Early College High School By Valerie Truesdale and Tom Leitzel For over a decade, folks in Beaufort County who argued forcefully about whether the northern part of the county warranted its own high school, despite the fact that students there had to deal with 90-minute round-trips to attend Battery Creek High. Once the high school was built, many believed that the school was doomed to be, at best, a substandard and struggling operation. But in just two years, Whale Branch Early College High School has made a promising start that has been highlighted by remarkable stores of student success. Because rural Whale Branch has a high dropout rate as well as a high poverty rate — more than 90 percent of the area’s children qualify for free or reduced-price lunches — the school district partnered with the Technical College of the Lowcountry, adult education, adult literacy, the sheriff ’s department and the county health center to create a full-service community school with “college-for-all-expectations.” The “early college” approach at Whale Branch High has been an effective innovation. In effect, the high school was constructed with the technical college “inside” because a TCL counselor was located on site to provide direct assistance to students who want to take
college classes. Clearly, having access to college and a culture of high expectations has dramatically changed a community that was plagued for Tom generations with low Leitzel student achievement, high dropout rates and high unemployment. In just two years, the community has become engaged in stretching students toward success after high school. • When Whale Branch Early College High School opened in fall 2010 amid aggressive community criticism, incoming juniors were challenged to prove that they were collegeworthy. They were asked to prepare themselves to receive their diplomas in 2012 in exchange for a college or military acceptance letter in hand. Faculty and school leaders were handselected to develop a climate of high expectations. On June 7, more than 83 percent of seniors graduated with college acceptance letters or military appointments. • In fall 2010, 13 students qualified to take college-level courses through the school’s partnership with TCL. In fall 2011, 76 students qualified. Through the
fall 2011 semester, students attempted 729 credit hours of college-level work and successfully completed 642 credit hours – an 88 percent passing rate. Valerie In spring 2012, 44 Truesdale percent of students were enrolled in three or more college-level courses. • Of this year’s graduating class, one out of four took college classes at the technical college. Two seniors, Ariana Davis and Tanasia Hamilton, earned full associate’s degrees at TCL — the equivalent of two years of college — before they received their high school diplomas. Nineteen more students earned at least 24 college credit-hours, or about one year of college credit. Nine graduated with technical college certifications. • Students are succeeding on state tests. Algebra I End-of-Course results in 2011 were the highest in the district. Biology students placed 6th out of 42 schools in the 2012 Biology Merit Exam at Clemson University. Whale Branch’s successes weren’t limited to academics. The boys track and field team recently brought home a state championship, and the volleyball
team won its regional championship. The football and baseball teams made it to the playoffs, and the wrestling team placed overall sixth in South Carolina. No one — not the students, not the staff and not the parents — believe that overall student performance is where it needs to be. Much work remains to be done. But the improvement trend is undeniable, and hopes are high for the Warriors of Whale Branch Early College High School. Strong community partnerships are adding new chapters to this success story every day, and we share the community’s pride in what is being accomplished for the school’s 555 students. The hard work of Principal Priscilla Drake and her faculty and staff is evident, as are the contributions of the Beaufort County Board of Education, the TCL Area Commission and college administrators. But the lion’s share of the credit goes to the students, who have proved to be serious learners with promising futures. Their graduation ceremonies were an inspiration for the entire community, and their class motto demonstrated their confidence and optimism: “They said we couldn’t do it, but look at us now.” Dr. Valerie Truesdale is superintendent of the Beaufort County School District, and Dr. Tom Leitzel is president of the Technical College of the Lowcountry.
SCHOOL briefs: end of the year All in the family Senior Nathan Cheung was the last of six brothers to graduate from Beaufort Academy, bringing to a close the family’s 26-year run at the private school on Lady’s Island. Since the fall of 1986, when Calvin (’93) and Mitchell (’95) enrolled in 6th and 4th grades, respectively, Siu and Hoi Cheung have had at least one child at Beaufort Academy.

Where Eagles soar: Stepping in at Beaufort High By Terry G. Bennett
President Franklin Roosevelt said that December 7, 1941, would live in infamy. Wednesday, February 22, 2012, may be the day that lives in infamy for me. It was a normal Wednesday — just the normal interoffice chatter about the school board meeting the night before. There was nothing special about the day at all until Dr. Truesdale walked into my office and asked me to step over to Mrs. White’s office. Within a few minutes, my life was changed. History will be the last judge, but it definitely changed me for the better. Ironically, February 22 was Ash Wednesday and “Be Humble Day.” I may not be as humble as I write this as I was on the day I learned the news about Principal Dr. Dan Durbin followed by learning that I would be the Interim Principal of Beaufort High School for the remainder of the school year. I was speechless. I was in shock — I was humbled. I will not judge or comment on the actions or decisions leading to my assignment as the Interim Principal, but I sincerely hope that my actions while serving in that position served as a positive influence for the members of the faculty and especially the students. The next few days were extremely interesting. Figuring out how I would handle two jobs (I did not lose my district office job), prepping my family, meeting with Dr. Durbin, and meeting with the district people, I stayed a bit busy. Did I mention I would have two jobs? Well,
As a school principal, you are not responsible just for the education of students’ minds, but for the feeding of their love to learn ... I cannot count the number of times I have been thanked by parents, students and community members for taking the position of Interim Principal. there is no way a normal person can handle the two jobs (Director of Grants Management and Interim Principal of a High School of more than 1,400 students). Actually, you can do it with support. I received a lot of assistance — the staff and faculty of Beaufort High were welcoming and definitely helped pick up the slack; the finance office at the district office did the same. In all honesty, my biggest luxury came from the students. They were angry! They were confused! They were teenagers! However, just enough of them knew me. On one of my first days at Beaufort High, a young female student who I knew from my elementary days approached me and said, “We were so mad about Dr. Durbin leaving, but then we heard you were coming and we said OK; it will be all right!” Wow, there is no pressure like living up to the expectations of a teenager. My professional career has included the privilege of serving as a teacher at Lady’s Island Junior High School, an assistant principal at Shell Point Elementary School, principal of Lady’s Island Elementary and principal of Lady’s Island Middle School. In 2010, I moved to the District Office as Director of Grants Management. During
those 11 years at Lady’s Island Elementary and Lady’s Island Middle School, I was the only principal that many students ever knew. Therefore, when I walked into Beaufort High School, there were many familiar faces including staff and students. Thank goodness! Nothing makes you feel welcomed or comfortable like the smile of teenagers that you have watched walk into school on their first day of pre-k or kindergarten. Better yet, it is rewarding to see the faces of successful high school students who once called you daddy by mistake, threw a pie in your face, took an overnight field trip to Florida with, or ate 10 ice cream cones just to prove a point. Some of these students spent more awake hours with me then their own parents. To watch students grow up, learn to read, learn to compute, learn to tolerate, and learn to be adults is something few people get to encounter on a daily basis. I am extremely lucky to now attend the art shows of talented students; I can say I helped those students have a great elementary school art teacher. I am extremely lucky to attend soccer matches or baseball games and remember those students learning basic coordination
skills from a national certified PE teacher. I am extremely lucky to watch students take their final exams in subjects like calculus, English IV or Latin and know that the teachers I hired played a key role in their success. As a principal your actions are important. Moreover, your indirect influence on the lives of students is so overwhelming: the policies you make, the teachers you hire, the curriculum you stress, the way you say good morning, and so much more makes a difference. As a school principal you are not responsible just for the education of the students’ minds, but for the feeding of their love to learn. My experience at Beaufort High School has been amazing. I was able to watch young students grow up. I have marveled to watch them handle extremely emotional situations like the tragic loss of fellow students and come out with their heads held high. I cannot count the number of times I have been thanked by parents, students, and community members for taking the position as Interim Principal during the crisis. Like a good middle reliever in baseball, you take over when trouble is brewing, settle things down, and pass the ball to a closer to bring it home. I gladly hand the ball over to Mr. Murphy. I would like to thank the community, the parents, the students, the faculty, and the staff of Beaufort High School for allowing me to take the ball and gently bring the team one step closer to continuing the spirit that is Beaufort High. The Eagles are always soaring.
Ret. Marine picked to lead Robert Smalls military academy A retired U.S. Marine Corps gunnery sergeant has been selected by Robert Smalls Middle School to lead its new military academy program. Since retiring from the Marine Corps in 1995, Gunnery Sgt. Francisco Gamez has worked as a high school Naval Junior ROTC instructor in Houston, Miami, and for the past 12 years at Wade Hampton High School in Hampton County. During his 20-year career in the Corps, Gamez was stationed at various locations around the world, from Parris Island and Camp Lejeune, N.C., to Korea, the Philippines and Japan. He participated in the U.S. military action in
Panama in 1990, as well as in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm in 1990-1991. “The tremendous success of Battery Creek High’s Francisco JROTC and Gamez academic programs has generated energy for the new military academy at Robert Smalls Middle School,” said Superintendent Valerie Truesdale. “The staffs at both schools are enthusiastic about their partnership with the Corps, and I’m sure they’re excited about having
Gunnery Sgt. Gamez come on board.” Aimed at developing leadership skills and personal discipline, the new academy will be a partnership involving the middle school and the nationally recognized JROTC program at Battery Creek High School. Any rising seventhor eighth-grader in Beaufort County will be eligible to attend when the new school year begins in August, and more than 100 students are already enrolled. The new academy will carry no additional costs for the school district, and the uniforms will be donated by community partners. Robert Smalls Principal Denise Smith said that a key component of the
new academy will be to help students understand the relationship between effort and success. At least one grade-level team will be dedicated to students attending the military academy at Robert Smalls, Smith said. This will create a cluster of teachers and students to focus on thematic units that teach reading and math skills through a military science, technology and engineering lens. Smith emphasized that the new middle school military academy is a leadership-building program and not a military recruiting program. She added that leadership skills are in high demand in virtually all career opportunities.
Thanks for a great year at Beaufort Elementary School By Principal Jennifer Morillo
As we close this academic year, I wanted to share some of my thoughts and impressions of the 2011–2012 school year. It is my honor to be the principal of Beaufort Elementary. We have experienced much success this year and grew as a school family. I believe Beaufort Elementary is a great place to learn, and we have the potential to be even better. I cannot possibly thank everyone in this letter that has volunteered, contributed, or supported our school because there are so
many people. Whether it was coordinating and selling, or monitoring students, or volunteering for after-school events, or serving in the Learning Commons, or whatever, I thank everyone who has given their time, talents and treasures to support and improve our school. We could not operate without the support of our parents and volunteers who give with a generous loving heart. Our students continue to shine and represent Beaufort Elementary in a positive
manner in extra-curricular activities and in the community. We have a unique blend of diverse personalities and talents here. People really do care about each other. Please know that everyone who had the honor of teaching and working with your children here at Beaufort Elementary School is very thankful for your commitment to education. We thank you for your support. We thank you for your openness and honesty. We thank you for your care and commitment. We thank you for your hours
of volunteering. I trust what we do will continue to have a tremendous impact on our students and families. Beaufort Elementary is a great place to be and I know we will continue to work together to make it even better. I know all of you are looking forward to a nice summer break and I hope you find time to relax, rest, and spend quality time with family. I look forward to the 2012–2013 school year with great anticipation and hope for another outstanding year filled with student success.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
Two dedicated dads David Byrne By Tess Malijenovsky
“It was fairly early in my wife’s pregnancy,” David Byrne remembers. “And I’ll never forget when the lady who was doing the ultrasound said, ‘Um, everything’s OK ... Dad, do you want to have a seat?’ ” David learned he’d be the new father to triplets — George, Olivia and Samuel. At 28 weeks pregnant, Bethany and David received news no parent wants to hear. While Samuel had always been a bit small, his growth had come to a standstill and he was actually losing nutrition. The longer the pregnancy continued, the greater the risk of losing him. David and his wife had an important decision to make: Risk losing Samuel or deliver the babies 12 weeks early. On January 28, 2009, George was born at 2 lb., 10 oz. and lived in the NICU for nine weeks. Olivia was born at 2 lbs., 12 oz. and also lived in the NICU for nine weeks. Samuel was born at 1 lb.., 9 oz. and lived in the ICU for 14 months, fighting for his life every day for more than a year. “It was not your typical fatherhood experience,” says David. He and his wife took turns traveling to Charleston every night to be with Samuel in NICU. When Samuel came home he was on a trache and a ventilator for another year. “As challenging as the time was and as much travel and worry was involved with a baby in ICU for 14 months followed by 12 months of having a ventilator and trache in the house, we were lucky he continued to grow the entire time,” David says.
David Byrne reading with his triplets — Olivia, George and Samuel.
What David loves the most about being a father, especially after 12 years as a teacher at Beaufort Academy, is watching his children grow and learn. “It’s truly a miracle to watch them grow, watching them learn. They’re just like little sponges. I’m a high school teacher so teaching addition and subtraction, going over our colors, looking at animals, isn’t something I’m trained to do, but it’s a lot of fun,” he said. As a dad, David has three small children who make him laugh on a daily basis: “I love to play, and what better playmates than 3 year olds? It’s just a trip. Last night we were saying prayers and my son George was thankful for the windows, the blinds, the door and his underwear. I don’t know in what world he connects the four, but it worked for him and I chuckled.” David never knew his biological father being that he was adopted, and his father unfortunately passed away a few years ago from lung cancer. His number one goal as a
dad is to spend a lot of time with his kids, to be there for them. “I feel very fortunate as a teacher to have two weeks off at Christmas and a week spring break and my summers off. Teachers don’t become teachers for the salary, but I see the benefits as a dad.” David says. “Trying to be there for my kids now, playing with them, helping them learn and being a positive example for them are the most important things.” Of course, being the father of triplets has its challenges. “When [the kids] get frustrated with each other we have to remind ourselves that they spend their entire day with each other and they’ve spent their entire lives with each other, so getting time to parent them not in a group but individually is a big challenge with triplets,” says David. “For the most part, they play with each other very well. We can sit back and watch them play.” One idea David and Bethany came up with was “Date Night,” where one day of the month each parent spends one-on-one time with one of the triplets on a date. Fatherhood is a life-changing experience, one that David’s embraced full-heartedly with thanks to two other people: “I could not be a good dad or an effective dad without a wife that works as hard as my wife does and without a mother whose been as dedicated as my mom. We’re lucky to have her here,” says David. David may be the proud father of triplets, but sometimes it takes three to raise three.
Randy Hamilton By Lanier Laney
Beaufort native Randy Hamilton is very proud of his three great kids: Ta’vaughn, 12, Kameron, 11, and Miciah, 5, and they are equally proud of their dad. Randy said he also loves “my wonderful, hard-working wife Susan Hamilton, we have been married for 11 years and I knew I wanted to marry her from the first time we met.” Randy is a talented cook and has recently been promoted to Kitchen Manager at Breakwater Restaurant. Says Breakwater co-owner Donna Lang, “Randy has a great work ethic and he has consequently moved ‘up the ladder,’ so to speak, in the kitchen. He’s now training to be a Sous Chef for us. From day one, he’s been a pleasure to work with.” I asked Randy what his philosophy is when I comes to raising children. “I try to teach my kids things that will make them succeed in this world,” he said. “Some basic things like respecting others and themselves, to live within their means and to be aware of your actions because of the consequences that will follow. Being a father can be challenging. Sometimes it takes tough love,

that they may see as unfair at the time, but it is necessary at times, to make them better people in the future. I grew up part of my life without a father, so the best thing I could possibly give them is to be there for them no matter what. As I reflect on the last

12 years, I am pleased so far on how much impact I have had on their lives in such a positive way. The most important thing that I hope they take with them as they get older is that if you work hard at anything, the sky’s the limit.”
father’s day
What it means to be a good father By Daniel Brownstein
On my father’s bulletin board, hangs a note written to him from his father. My dad, often brimming with sentiment, had penned his dad a letter on Father’s Day 1986, thanking him for being such a wonderful role model and for raising him the way he did. That sparked a return note about how proud of him my grandfather was. My grandfather grew up the poorest kid in town after his father — an immigrant from Romania — died of tuberculosis when he was just five. He scratched his way into the middle class after joining the Army Air Corps as an airplane mechanic. His boss was so impressed with his work ethic that he took him along to NASA. He and my grandmother put both of their boys through college and set up a scholarship to help pay for their six grandchildren to get the education they had valued so much, but couldn’t afford to obtain when they graduated from high school. My dad has a knack for figuring out how things work, whether it was an airplane part in his first career as an aeronautical engineer, or a computer (his second career) or the human body (his third career). Twenty-five years after that note was written, my father spends a considerable amount of time caring for his father, who at age 91 is as sharp mentally as he ever has been, but has faltering vision. He does it to honor the man who put him on a trajectory to have such a great life, and to spend as much of his remaining years with the man he so admires. I could fill this column with funny stories about my dad: him sliding down a ravine to “save” my friends and me during a camping trip; breaking his ankle while showboating on the basketball court; cursing up a storm while trying to fix something (anything) around the house. I could also fill this column with times when he patiently helped me with something, when the two of us had a blast, seeminglymundane occasions that are memorable like meeting for lunch once a week throughout college and my early working life or the times I’d like to forget, the instances when

I let him down or said something out of teenage rebellion that I now regret. While all of those things are aspects of being a father, they aren’t the essence of being a father. These days, I hope I have the best of my father and his father inside me. In January, my wife gave birth to our first child, a son, something I have felt woefully unprepared for. There are no books for how to be a good father, although I am sure you could find more than a few in a bookstore. And the hospital doesn’t send you home with an instruction manual. If they did, most fathers wouldn’t read it anyway. For the past six months, I have fumbled my way into competency in a variety of skills any dad of an infant should possess: changing his diapers, holding him, feeding him, calming him, coping with a sleepdeprived wife when you too are so tired that you’re not sure you can take another day of this. I realize these sort of skills will only get me so far, like until the point he can ask a question, encounters a schoolyard bully, suffers loss, discovers lust and love, rebels against everything I’ve taught him, tries to figure out what to do with his life and
becomes a dad himself. These things require other, more advanced skills like being a role model and dispensing fatherly wisdom. It is this less tangible aspect of fatherhood I still haven’t mastered. I struggle to make a good enough impression on a little person that I only see first thing in the morning and when he goes to sleep because I spend all day working and all night studying to become someone or something better than I currently am. No one teaches you the obligations of fatherhood, and that is perhaps why many people run from it, with disastrous consequences. It is hard, but not thankless. In fact, it is just the opposite. I am thanked every time my son smiles at me when I lift him from the crib or when I crack him up with a silly face or when he enthusiastically watches me do something that would be terribly uninteresting to anyone else. Like my father, his father and my grandfather’s father — the man who came to a new country for the prospects of something better — my child will be my greatest legacy. For him, I seek to be the best man I can be, so that he may someday be greater. That is the essence of being a good father.
the home chef ... on dad’s favorite dish By Harlene Deane
Whenever my daughter asks her dad what his favorite dinner is, his reply is always “spaghetti and meatballs!” We like to keep him healthy so we cook up this recipe ... Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs INGREDIENTS 12 ounces ground turkey 4 ounces turkey sausage, casings removed, crumbled 6 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 4 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp olive oil 1 cup chopped onion 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes 10 ounces spaghetti
DIRECTIONS Mix turkey, sausage, 4 tbsp cheese, 2 tbsp parsley, 2 garlic cloves, thyme, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Moisten hands and form mixture into 1-inch balls. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves; stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add meatballs to sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling water until just tender but still firm to the bite. Drain pasta; return to pot. Add some sauce to pasta and toss to coat. Transfer pasta to bowl; top with meatballs and remaining sauce.

Group honors year of focusing on literacy The Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women has once again wrapped up the school year with a big push for literacy sponsored by the Lowcountry S.C. Alumnae Club. This year’s efforts kicked off March 2 on Dr. Seuss’ birthday, when the club hosted an assembly at Riverview Charter School celebrating the life of the famed children’s author. Riverview students gave poetry readings from the works they created in the 2011 Pi Beta Phi reading program, and the club installed a collection of reference books for the library. This gift, generated in part through an educational grant by the National Council of Youth Services America, recognized student Henry Harper for his literacy leadership in leading a student committee in selection of the materials. The Dr. Seuss fun continued as the Alumnae Club kicked off their 2012 program that evening at the Wardle YMCA. This year’s initiative, known as Read Your Way Around The World, was presented in a two-week reading and writing workshop for students in second through sixth grad. Volunteers
worked with the children in writing groups to create a chapter poem book titled “The Marvelous Meanderings of Montague Miller.” Program participants received certificates of achievement and a copy of their published book. As the program closed in a celebration Wednesday, May 30, the young authors were also presented a book of their choice for summer reading. These books were provided through the Pi Beta Phi Foundation. Since 2007, the foundation has donated over 2 million books through its Champions are Readers program. In 2010, Pi Beta Phi and First Book launched the Local Literacy Initiative, a program that allows alumnae clubs to directly provide new books to schools and programs in their own communities. Outgoing Lowcountry Alumnae Club President Cece Boyne passed the gavel to incoming President Janet Gregory after a diligent year in support of community efforts. Philanthropy and Literacy Chairs of 2012, Judy Johnson and Nina Bass, will be joined by Mary Foster in 2013 service projects.

Can the da Vinci Surgical System help you get back to life faster?
When the pain from fibroid tumors became unbearable, Genene Aiken knew the answer was surgery. But the busy mom dreaded the prospect of a long recovery. Then she learned about da Vinci surgery at Beaufort Memorial. With ultra-small incisions, Genene’s procedure and recovery were easier and faster than traditional surgery. In fact, Genene was back to her life in chapters, rather than books.

Eco camp focuses on oceans By Tess Malijenovsky
“Dive into World Oceans” is a weeklong eco camp July 23-28 put on by the Beaufort Conservation District for rising Kindergartners through rising sixth graders. For its 23rd year in the running, the camp’s theme will focus on oceans in light of Beaufort County’s World Oceans Day. “We also are focusing on marine debris, which is a big conservation problem in the area,” says Shelby Berry of the Beaufort Conservation District. The Conservation District is the conduit for the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, which targets pollution problems in Beaufort County — a vital partnership for the community. The Conservation District will invite local experts to share wellrounded information with the students on a variety of topics including reptiles and amphibians, scuba diving, whales, navigating with GPS, marine debris, ocean chemistry and more! The eco camp is also about fun with

history with holly By D. Henry Garbade, Jr.
I was born in Savannah, Ga., on August 8, 1949, but left there as quickly as I could get back to my home on Chelsea Plantation which is divided by the Beaufort and Jasper county lines. My grandfather was a manager on Chelsea Plantation and insured that crops were planted, livestock fed and cared for and also that we had enough food for the family. Chelsea was what is known as a working plantation which means that it was self-sufficient and produced enough goods to keep it running. My grandfather was an excellent gardener, as were most folks during those days. Most of them were young during the Depression of the late 1920s and 1930s and they remembered how difficult it was to survive and almost no one had as much to eat as we have today. We all worked in the garden and everyone who worked on the plantation or even lived near it was welcome to gather food from the garden. My grandfather plowed the garden with a mule and I would watch for hours as my grandfather talked to the old mule. As far as I was concerned, the mule understood English as well as any person I knew. One day a new tractor was delivered to the plantation. It was a Farmall and it was as red as the fire trucks I had seen in town. It had a four cylinder engine and it was started with a hand crank. I tried to crank it once and I couldn’t even get the engine to move. I was mesmerized watching the dirt fold over itself as the plows did their work in the rich soil. My grandfather made it all look so easy. Being nearly 8 years old, I decided that I was old enough to drive the Farmall and do some plowing on my own. After all, I drove the old Jeep all over the pasture and I thought I was a pretty good driver. That evening at supper, I announced to my grandfather that I could certainly help him the next day with the plowing and that I was also certain I could drive that tractor. He told me that I could drive the tractor as soon as I learned to appreciate it for the work it could do. It was a great improvement over the mule. He decided that I could drive the tractor as soon as I learned how to plow the garden with the mule. The next morning, grandfather and I went to the barn and hitched the mule to the turn plow. It was the same kind of plow that I had seen working behind the tractor. As my grandfather fitted bridles, straps, single-tree plow hitches and finally the plow itself, I busied myself trying to remember just what went where. The farther along he got, the less I could remember. Soon it was time to begin plowing. Grandfather reminded me that if I wanted the mule to turn right I was to call the mule’s name, Sam, and then say “Gee.” If I wanted him to turn left, I was to repeat the process and then say “Haw.” I could barely see over the cross bar on the plow but I was determined to plow that garden so I could drive the tractor. Off we went, Sam and I, with the reins hung over my head so I could get to them if I needed to help steer old Sam. I was having a very hard time keeping that plow upright and when it fell, I held on the cross bar. Sam never slowed up as he dragged me through the garden at his ever-steady pace. As soon as I regained my feet, Sam started veering to the right so I yelled, “Sam, Haw!” Sam immediately turned left. He didn’t straighten up, he turned hard left and now I was plowing the backyard and the garden was behind me. “Gee, Sam, Gee!” Sure enough, he made an immediate right turn. This was not going as well as I thought it should have so I looked back at my grandfather for a little help. He was on his knees laughing so hard I thought he was not going to be able to breathe. I left Sam standing in the middle of the garden, my grandfather lying beside the garden, the tractor was under the shed, and as far as I was concerned it could stay there, and I went into the house. I never did get to drive that tractor.

RED ROOSTER CAFE
By Pamela Brownstein
The little touches at The Red Rooster Cafe create an intimate environment that makes you feel like you could be in your grandmother’s kitchen. (If your grandma was cool and kitschy and an amazing cook.) I quenched my thirst right away with a strawberry-pineapple lemonade that was not too sweet, but refreshing. I also like that it’s served in a mason jar. Owner Courtney Keith offered little samples of the Creamy Turkey soup of the day that was so flavorful and satisfying, the perfect way to start a meal. Kim knew exactly what she wanted: the Fried Green Tomato BLT, made with bacon, organic lettuce, crunchy fried green tomatoes, ranch sauce and provolone cheese on a toasted hoagie. April and Elizabeth ordered sandwiches that they both thought were excellent. April had the Egg Salad Sandwich on wheat with a side of sweet potato fries, and Elizabeth tried the Pepper Jack Skip Jack: tuna salad, pepper jack cheese and tomato served on sourdough. She said it was creamy, with a kick.

The Gobbler with sweet potato fries.
Fruit tart dessert.
I also had a delicious sandwich, The Gobbler. It is served on warm sourdough with roasted turkey, soft Brie, bacon and homemade strawberry sauce. Buck and Nikki had burgers, and they were both giant, and tasty. Buck
opted for the Butch Cassidy Burger topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and bacon. Then Nikki tried the Rooster Cogburn special: A half pound burger topped with spicy pepper jack, bacon, homemade chipolte and lettuce.
She said it was excellent. She also got a side of the homemade potato chips with ranch that are so good it’s easy to sit and eat a whole plate (which I don’t recommend if you’re on a diet, but if you’re out with friends and treating yourself, go for it). Speaking of treating yourself, we all shared two fabulous homemade desserts. One slice had a chocolate cookie on the bottom with peanut butter mousse and pieces of Reece’s Peanut Butter cup on top — a chocolate lover’s dream. And the other was a lighter fruit tart that we all agreed was a must-have dessert. Red Rooster Cafe is located at 1210 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, and is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 843-379-2253.

Bill’s Q LI
Oh no, oh no! Another new wine for us to learn. Remember, though, we can only learn by drinking. So, let’s buckle up and get to it. We’re in Sonoma County, California, this week. For those who haven’t been there, or maybe have been and just haven’t paid attention, Sonoma County is located on the northern coast of the state. In the world of wine, it is the southwestern county of California’s Wine Country that includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties. It has 13 AVAs and more than 250 wineries. Going back in time for our history lesson, Sonoma County is home to several Native American tribes. The Pomo, Coast Miwok and Wappo peoples were the earliest Sonoma County settlers between 8,000 and 5,000 B.C. Rock carvings have been found as archaeological evidence that these people lived off the land. (To this day, Sonoma is known as more agricultural than most other wines areas in California.) “Sonoma” as a name is a Native American tribe name. Spaniards and Russians came to Sonoma from the late 16th to mid-19th century. They came not just for rich farmland, but timber and fur as well. The Russians were the first of all the Sonoma settlers to establish permanent footholds. They built Fort Ross in 1812 and stayed there until 1841, when they sold it to John Sutter (Think Sutter Home.) In 1823, the last and most northern of twenty-one missions was founded, in what is now the city of Sonoma. Comandante General Vallejo was in command of the missions, charged with watching the Russians and secularizing the Missions with help from Native Americans. (Not around any more, but M.G. Vallejo used to be a very popular wine label.) When California became a state in 1850, Sonoma was one of the original counties. Shortly after statehood, commerce and population declined in the city of Sonoma and other,growing, cities like Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Healdsburg all vied for county seat status. Santa Rosa won for both agricultural and political reasons. Between Healdsburg and Santa Rosa is a great stretch of flatland suited to crops. And, the arrival of the railroads in the 1860’s, made the area a prime source for vegetables and fruits for the rest of the country. Since 1542, six different

The city of Sonoma is located in the Sonoma Valley. This valley makes up the southeastern part of the county and includes other valleys and cities. The Mayacamus Mountains and the Sonoma Mountains, where our winery this week is located. But back to that in a minute. Sonoma County has woodlands, redwood forest, grassland, marshland and more. As varied as the geography is, so is the climate. Cool and moist weather on the coast with lots of fog changes to less fog and warmer days inland by Petaluma and Santa Rosa. All of the resulting microclimates play their part in the vineyards. Which takes us to our grape for this week — Pinot Blanc. This variety, which is not nearly as well known as its cousins, Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Noir, is more widely used in parts of Europe than in the United States. Before DNA studies were done on grape varieties, Pinot Blanc was often confused with Chardonnay. Wineries still often vinify it like Chardonnay with barrel fermentation, new oak and malolactic fermentation. With lighter treatment it can make crisper wines. Most of the Pinot Blanc that we see here comes from the Alsace region in eastern France. In this region, Pinot Blanc is known as the “work horse” variety. It is used to make still wines as well as most the region’s “cremant,” sparkling, wines. In Alsatian wine laws, it can get confusing as to how pure a wine you are getting. There is some bit of all the Pinot varieties allowed to be labeled “Pinot Blanc.” There are a bit more then 3,000 acres of Pinot Blanc planted in France, almost
all of it in Alsace. In addition to France, Germany and Italy also produce some wines from Pinot Blanc. In the United States, it gets more confusing. Some of the wines made here, while labeled Pinot Blanc, are actually not a Pinot at all. Some of them have been found to be Melon de Bourgogne, the original name for Musdacdet now grown in the Loire Valley. Yikes! Sometimes too much information just gets in the way. Wines from real Pinot Blanc have fruity aromas, in particular apples and citrus, and floral notes. The better quality clones of the grape yield more floral wines. The wines are crisp and clean, less complex than Chardonnays but not as lean and acidic as some Pinot Grigios. Our Pinot Blanc comes from Valley of the Moon Winery. This winery has some of the longest history in Sonoma. It was founded in 1863. A stone winery was built in 1887. There is actually a Valley of the Moon inside Sonoma Valley. It has rich volcanic soil and a distinctive warm (“banana belt” they call it) microclimate. Grapes have been grown here for more than a century. There is a block of old vine Zinfandel on part of one hill that was planted in the 1940’s. For part of its history, the winery was known as Madrone Vineyards. At one time it was owned by Senator George Hearst, father of William Randolph Hearst. In 1941, Madrone Vineyards was purchased and revitalized by Enrico Parducci and Peter Domenici. They were also responsible for renaming it “Valley of the Moon,” the Native American name for their location. (The label on the wine bottles is a white moon.) In 1997, the winery became part of Heck Estates that includes Kenwood. Pinot Blanc is one the trademark wines that Valley of the Moon makes. Possibly because they do such a good job with this grape? It is medium bodied with soft acidity, very moderate oak, a creamy texture and lovely apple and lemon flavors. And just as you swallow, a hint of flowers. Yummy, yummy. For as delightful as it is, this wine is definitely worth its $15.99 price tag. But, how lucky are we? We don’t have to pay that price tag. We can have it for $9.97 a bottle. That means we can try it as much as we want and learn to enjoy Pinot Blanc. Won’t it be nice for the moon to rise just for you? Enjoy.
Thinking of going skinny sipping this summer? Think again! By Terry Sweeney
The same thing happens to me every June as it suddenly dawns on me that summer is actually already here and I will, sooner or later, be called upon to appear in public in my bathing suit. A private confab with my closet’s fulllength mirror confirms the worst. Either some cruel prankster has exchanged my grown up middle-aged man-trunks for those of a much skinnier 12-year-old skateboarder, or I have overeaten myself into my best imitation of a Vietnamese pot-belled pig. A Happy Wino friend of mine says she has summer shorts and khakis in various sizes depending on the ups and downs of her girth. But when June comes around and she can’t fit into her biggest pair (her “fat” pants as she calls them); the jig is up and she immediately stops eating — but not drinking! The problem with mixing dieting and drinking — or going “skinny sipping” as I call it — is that when you cut out breads, pasta, potatoes, and other fattening carbs, there is nothing in your system to absorb the booze. The results can have you flying much higher than
you ever intended and heading for a very rough landing the morning after. To be fair, earlier in the evening, you didn’t innocently start out with your Terry first glass of chablis Sweeney with the intention of ending the evening drunkenly climbing on the bar at The Filling Station and tossing your bra to a cheering crowd of blue collar bad boys. But it happened. And why? You didn’t eat anything because you wanted to be skinny! Believe me, I too, have gone skinny sipping and certainly done things I wasn’t proud of the next day. Maybe not tossing my bra to a cheering crowd, but only because I didn’t have a bra to toss. What makes the difference between a pleasant night out having a couple of cocktails chatting with friends, and a blurry bacchanal slurring it up with a bunch of strangers is having some skinny sipping ground rules to keep you ... well ... grounded.
So if you’re on a diet like me but still want to party, I’ve come up with some golden rules to keep you from waking up the next morning to a bleary-eyed photo of yourself on the cover of “Mug Shots”: 1. Eat something like guacamole with baked chips, a microwaved bake potato with light butter or some sliced cheese and salami on fiber crackers before going out. Especially if you are meeting someone for a “pre-drink.” That’s the drink before your night even starts which easily turns into two or three drinks and you later being carried to your car. 2. Beware of well-meaning hosts who refill your wine glass to the top before you are even finished. You can easily lose track of how many glasses you’ve had and end up spending the next day with an ice pack on your head, cursing your friend and wishing you were dead. 3. Also watch for fellow revelers buying you another drink in a bar or even worse, generously sending over a bottle when you’ve already had enough. If they insist on doing something nice for you, politely tell them they can treat you to an appetizer. 4. The simplest and most dietetic: Drink
a glass of water after every two glasses of wine or after every two mixed drinks. 5. Don’t get stuck somewhere for hours. Like on a boat with Captain Drunk-As-ASkunk. You may be ready to find land and go eat, but your host and fellow partiers may have other plans. You can be sure that booze barge ain’t docking ‘til there’s not a drop left! Also make sure you have your own car or the card of your favorite taxi company in your wallet when catching a ride to a party or a bar with other people. Your friends may just be up for an all night booze-a-thon and then you’re trapped! (Hey, they’re probably on a diet and not eating solid food either!) Important note: Leave quietly. Don’t say goodbye! Or they will no doubt beg you to stay and have just one more. No! Go home and eat your Lean Cuisine! So there it is, the naked truth about the perils of skinny sipping. Remember — you want to lose weight, not your dignity. So don’t try to drink yourself skinny. Instead, go join a gym or, better yet, do what I do ... get a bigger swimsuit. Here’s to a great summer. I raise a glass of ... water to you! Cheers!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol
Kids and Dogs Part II: A common sense approach “My child is good with dogs.” That’s a statement I have heard more than once. It is often paired with “my dog will let my child do anything to her.” Do anything to her. Anything? Yikes! There is a huge gap between how humans and dogs perceive any situation. There is an even larger gap between what dogs perceive and what tiny children perceive as “anything”, the result often being ruined dogs and injured children. Training a dog is not a guarantee of indefinite good behavior as long as children are allowed to carry out what is tantamount to dog abuse, though parents may not realize it when it is happening. No child under school age should be left alone with a dog, any dog, your dog. Even having big brother in the room is not sufficient supervision. The person in charge needs to be able to control both the actions of the child and the dog. If there is any doubt in the steadiness of either one, you’ll need an individual handler for both parties. Granted, this destroys one of America’s favorite images of kids and dogs, the dog as the perfect baby sitter. But it’s just not safe to put the dog in that position. The mental capacity for empathy — awareness of hurting another creature doesn’t happen until a child is 5 to 7 years old. Most children do not understand that certain actions can hurt a dog. I have seen small children switch from dragging their stuffed monkey around by the arm to attempting to drag the family pet with the same enthusiasm. Should a dog become convinced that tiny people

could inflict pain or fear, damage has been done to that dog’s trust in children forevermore. If the dog believes you will stand by and let this happen, or leave him at the mercy of the child without you being there, eventually the dog will have no choice but self-defense. By the time the dog shows a reaction, the damage may have already been done. This is true of dogs raised from puppy hood with improperly supervised children. Parents do not realize what has happened in the dog’s mind by being so pleased that the puppy “would let the children do anything to her”. By the time a dog’s defense drives mature, and the dog is capable of doing something about the kids, the dog’s beliefs about kids are set. My beagle (The Bea) is a case in point. Her formative months were spent as the not-very-well-cared-for puppy of the owner of a day care center. To her last day, 17 years later, Bea cringed and slunk away as fast as she could when a small child approached her. Kids and dogs both benefit when properly managed. Research indicates
that children growing up with wellcared-for dogs have mental and emotional advantages that extend throughout life. On the other hand, an abused dog in the household is a warning sign that there may also be child or spousal abuse occurring. The First Strike program, sponsored by HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) speaks specifically to this issue. Managing a household with pre-school children and training a dog (especially a puppy) is complex. Families often wait until the children are of school age before adopting a family dog. Another option is to adopt, raise and train a dog to positively perceive children before having the first child. Another choice is adopt an adult dog that has proven to be great with kids. A trainer can help you make that determination.
A parent watching a child and dog interact is at a disadvantage when the parent may not know which behaviors from the child are perceived as threats to the dog. You should never allow a child to: 1. Pull the dogs’ ears or tail 2. Poke at eyes with fingers or anything else 3. Swing objects at the dog 4. Grab any part of the dog 5. Tug or otherwise compete with the dog for toys, food or other items 6. Suddenly get into a dog’s face 7. Disturb a dog that is sleeping or eating 8. Pet someone else’s dog before receiving permission from the owner 9. Pet or provoke a dog through a fence or one that is tethered 10. Approach the nest of a nursing mother with puppies 11. Run (or squeal) in the sight of a strange dog 12. Ride a dog like a horse, lie down on a dog, or otherwise put significant weight on the dog There is no greater relationship than that between a well-trained child and a well-trained dog. Following some good common sense precautions and choosing the right dog at the right time for your child secures the investment of your time.
