father’s DAY

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

T

his Father’s Day, The Island News would like to recognize a man who represents the qualities of a first-class dad and one local author (also a dad) who has penned an essay on Fatherhood.

And we also want to thank the countless dads in the Lowcountry who make sacrifices daily for their families, and especially those who serve in our U.S. military.

David Black is a dad you’re likely to see at all the games, at all the recitals and especially at all the school functions.

But he’s also a father who shines when no one is watching. He’s a listener, a friend, a role model, a coach, a teacher and all the things that make a good dad.

How can you tell? Take a look at his kids. Both of his children, Shuler and Mills, recently earned superlatives at Beaufort Middle School as “Best All-Around.�

By John Warley

When my four children were younger, I relished one ritual above all others.

Hours after their bedtime and often after mine, I walked down the carpeted hallway dividing their rooms. I walked barefoot, as soundless as a cat; silence reinforced the intimacy of the ritual. I paused briefly at each door. I didn’t open it. I just stood there, thinking about the child inside, and about how if I opened the door, I’d find a son or my daughter asleep in their favorite position, clothes or toys or books or stuffed animals or soccer shin guards strewn all about depending on whose room it happened to be. It wasn’t important for me to actually see that scene. I’d seen it often enough when I told them goodnight.

But there was a time, a couple of years before, when I couldn’t tell them goodnight because my wife and I had separated. During the year apart, I stayed

at a friend’s summer home. I walked the wooden floors there, my footsteps echoing in the hollow hallway. I tried to hang a couple of pictures on the wall of my room, but they didn’t belong in that place, and neither did I. During that long, difficult year, my wife and I stayed in touch and sought counseling. When we finally reunited, my nocturnal trips down the carpeted hall began. It was only important that I knew they were in there, as safe as an enclosed room in a suburb could make them and sure to wake the next morning.

No doubt some of the feeling that came over me during these forays was linked to my role as guardian, the high sheriff of 4 Deans Circle. If a fire broke out, I would evacuate them. If an intruder entered, I would confront him. If a Biblical thunderstorm shook the house, those still too young to sleep through it could take refuge in our king-size bed at

the end of the hall.

I knew that this span of years (the oldest was thirteen and the youngest, six) would be meteorically brief. Soon one would be driving, then another, out on the highway, where I had no control over them or anyone else, a high sheriff with no badge who waited for the call that mercifully never came. But when I took these midnight strolls, those years of anxiety were still in the future, a fact that enabled me to savor the moment outside each door because I knew they were all there, all four, safe and protected.

In December my wife and I will celebrate our thirty-ninth anniversary.

We rarely talk about those dark days, and when we do, we express our mutual and profound joy that we were able to reconcile. Our youngest turned thirty this year. Grandchildren populate family photos. The kids seem happy and productive. My fear of an empty hall is long past, and I believe in the moments I lingered outside each door, reminding myself that it is not just fire, or storms, or highways that can harm a child. “LINGERING AT THE DOORS,�

STRAIGHT TALK: POLITICS

Mayor Keyserling: Not on my watch Despite the fact that Beaufort County currently celebrates the fifth highest per capita concentration of millionaires in the U.S. and the highest per capita concentration of college graduates of South Carolina’s 46 counties, more than half our students are eligible for free or assisted lunches.

This doesn’t make sense. We need leadership and commitment to turn this around. Can we disappoint future generations when we know we can do better? Not on my watch!

Since I was a child, growing up in Beaufort, I’ve heard “grownups” give lip service to economic diversification. We heard frequent warnings that we should not be overly reliant on farming and shrimping (now almost extinct), tourism, the military, government jobs and more recently the construction trades.

Those who grow up here, and find career opportunities elsewhere, leave hoping to one day be able to afford to retire here. And those who don’t have these opportunities, stay and struggle without hope of giving their children more opportunity than they had. A huge demographic imbalance … and we all pay the price.

We expect our school teachers to give hope to students who see little reason to study because they don’t believe that staying in school is going to lead to a better future.

On a positive note — together, the people of Beaufort County have scaled many mountains.

We’ve brought potable drinking water, indoor plumbing, comprehensive healthcare and other services to rural areas that did not have them. We’ve more than doubled our population by becoming a desirable retirement destination.

We’ve invested hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ dollars on bridges and road

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling can also be reached by email at billyk@islc.net.

improvements to ensure safe evacuation and to avoid gridlock. We’ve provided urban level fire and emergency services to outlying areas. We’ve built libraries and schools and recreation centers to accommodate growth.

And, we’ve invested millions of dollars to preserve open space, to protect our natural beauty and to steer growth.

Who says we cannot do what we “choose” to do?

It‘s time to raise the level of commitment so we can fulfill longawaited promises for a diverse economic base and more economic sustainability.

Heated discussions about the financial failure of the Beaufort Commerce Park, and whether the Lowcountry Economic Network has done what was expected, as well as the benefits of regional versus local economic development were quieted by handing the challenge to consultants.

The Lowcountry Economic Alliance committed $125,000 for a study and soon after Beaufort County committed $50,000 for its own study. Yet, I haven’t seen one editorial or news report asking: Aren’t people talking with each other? Aren’t we wasting public resources though duplication? Are we paying attention? Are we content to see a system failing?

And, regardless of what consultants tell us, if we don’t have the commitment to make change, our money is wasted.

So, I ask ... when will someone have

the courage to say the emperor wears no clothes? That leadership is avoiding hard decisions, tough choices and investing little if anything toward this long-standing challenge?

Some wax eloquent that we have too much government in our lives; that the challenge is for the private sector. Well, where were they when we voted to raise taxes to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for more bridges and roads to accommodate the retirement boom that brought them here?

Economic development, however, requires partnerships between willing governments that embrace the private sector while also establishing predictable and timely regulatory processes.

Regrettably, our county is perceived by economic developers as unfriendly to business. Perhaps this is because our regulatory processes are punitive rather than incentive-based and we have yet to encourage bureaucrats to collaborate. (I don’t mean a laissez fair approach where total control is yielded to few at the expense of many. I mean a collaboration to do what is right for ALL.) I am, however, saying it shouldn’t take longer than 30 days to issue a development permit for a simple industrial building in an established business park. And, we shouldn’t cause delays for businesses locating to a business park because they didn’t select appropriately colored awnings or their landscaping wasn’t completely installed.

In good conscience, I can’t wait for someone else to do the heavy lifting so I am calling on you, my colleagues across the region, to bite the bullet, work together, dig deeper into our pockets if necessary and engage the private sector to walk the walk.

We must fulfill our outstanding promise. If we don’t, who will?

Governor thanks local state representatives This week, thirty-six members of the South Carolina House and Senate took a brave stand by supporting my request that the General Assembly return to Columbia and complete their work on government restructuring.

I would especially like to thank Reps.

Shannon Erickson, Andy Patrick and Bill Herbkersman for demonstrating to our citizens and our Supreme Court that a significant number of legislators are

committed to real reform.

Key to bringing true accountability and transparency to our state government

is the passage of the Department of Administration bill. Restructuring our state’s critical support functions will modernize the functions of state government, enabling us to meet the new challenges of the 21st century.

We must have a state government that’s run like a business. If we are to prevail against states and nations as we strive to attract jobs and talented professionals to South Carolina, then we need a

government that is more agile, more accountable, and more responsive than the one we have today.

I will continue to insist the General Assembly pass the Department of Administration bill before they leave Columbia again. South Carolinians deserve better government, and they shouldn’t have to wait another year for it.

Working together, we can make good government happen!

State house legislative highlight report The SC House adjourned its first regular session of the 119th General Assembly on Thursday, June 9, and as of last update, will return on Tuesday, June 14 to deal with the budget, vetoes and SC House Redistricting.

Below are some highlights from this past session and where these bills stand currently. This is a snapshot of the work done by your SC House, and I have tried to compile some of the more highly asked about topics. There will be further information as we conclude the budget process and redistricting sessions.

Thank you for the honor of serving you in the SC House of Representatives.

I hope that you will find this information useful and pertinent. Please know that I appreciate all of the emails, calls, letters and visits during the last legislative session and hope that you will call on me anytime I can be of service to you or your family.

New farmers market

opens at historic plantation

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

W

hen John Keith bought Pick Pocket Plantation in 2005, the farmhouse was collapsing. There were actually five holes from ceiling to floor throughout the structure. And the property was overgrown, but Keith was determined to bring the plantation back to life.

The farmhouse and surrounding out buildings, like the mule and milking barns and the blacksmith house needed lots of work. So Keith diligently cleaned up the civil war era site and its buildings. He tore stucco off the main house to reveal wood siding. He cleared the fields, having a neardeath experience with a chainsaw in a tree. He even discovered foundations where structures once stood.

Clockwise from top left: Sugar cane; the living room; fresh vegetables offered at the farmers market; Lara Lill and her mother, Kathy Lambert.

While cleaning the overgrowth with a track hoe, Keith noticed four posts in the ground and the remnants of a 2 ft. chimney. He asked former owner, Neil Trask (who grew up on the plantation) if he remembered what was once there. Trask revealed it was a warming house, traditionally meant for keeping the smells and heat of cooking away from the main house.

Keith tore the corncrib off the main barn, dug some footers and rebuilt the structure, based on Trask’s description. Trask claims that it looks exactly like the old warming house.

Pick Pocket Plantation was the first acreage owned by the Trask family, which began a truck farming empire of thousands of acres across Beaufort County. The historic plantation home and surrounding grounds now comprise more than 15 acres, located in the center of Burton between the intersections of US 21 and SC 170.

The farmhouse is noted for its distinctive architectural style, unusual exterior board siding, wrap-around porches and cupola or widow’s watch.

Neil Trask, who was born on the property, was friends with the caretaker’s son, Jim Adams, also born on the property. As boys, they

would climb the widow’s watch and visually explore the surrounding land for miles. They could see clearly to Mink Point from the location and decided from up there where they would spend their afternoons.

The property now boasts nine historical buildings, including the beautifully restored plantation home. Period antiques bought in Ohio, Tennessee and Georgia from major dealers can be found throughout the home and property.

And now, Keith wants to share the plantation with the people of Beaufort and its visitors. He has partnered with Lara and Alex Lill, the occupants of the caretaker’s

house on the property and Lara’s mom, Kathy Lambert, to bring a Framers Market to Pick Pocket Plantation every Tuesday from 2-7 p.m., now through September.

Each of them wants to bring life back to the property, where “It feels like you’ve traveled back in time,” explains Lara Lill.

And Keith agrees when discussing the working-class farm, “When you’re out here, you can feel the energy of the past ... the hardships, the laughter, the sorrow, the joy.”

A Farmers Market is just what Keith envisioned for the property.

And Beaufort will be awed at

Keith’s labor of love while out for the afternoon enjoying the nostalgia of the property.

In addition to fresh vegetables, vendors at the Framers Market will also sell fresh breads and pastries, local specialty foods, local prepared foods and crafts from a variety of local artisans. John Keith will also sell his homemade apple butter and cane syrup, made on site.

“There are no rules at this Farmers Market,” Says Lambert, who had the idea to bring the weekly festival to Pick Pocket. “Customers are savvy.

They want choices,” says Lambert who is familiar with all the regional markets from here to Charleston.

The market will also have activities for the kids, competitions and raffles and live music. It’s sure to be fun for kids of all ages. There will also be tours of the plantation, and visitors interested in the property’s equestrian center can take a look at Plantation Stables of Beaufort.

Located at 93 Trask Farm Road, tucked away behind Advance Auto Body on Robert Smalls Parkway, you’ll find Historic Pick Pocket Plantation and Beaufort’s new Farmers Market.

If you are interested in becoming a vendor or if you’d like more information about the market, visit www.pickpocketplantation.com.

Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island Elementary and Coosa Elementary third graders use the term friends 4-ever a lot in their writing, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because both third grade classes are pen pals with each other. Teachers Lori Baggett and Patty Huckabee were looking for a fun way to motivate their students to write and thought pen-pals was an informal way to enhance the writing standards for those reluctant writers. On Friday, May 13, the students came together to meet their pen pals for pizza, recess and great conversations.

Beaufort Middle students learn and take action The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Aware News Team,â&#x20AC;? comprised of eighth graders at Beaufort Middle School, chose Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) as the subject of its latest documentary video.

Does it matter that our orthopedic program is top-rated?

It does to Jim Harbison, a retired Marine who’s not one to take life sitting down. When Jim experienced significant knee pain, he turned to the orthopedic program at Beaufort Memorial. Our surgeons are among the first to use a new generation in computer navigation to “custom fit” knee replacement.

The result is a better fit and a faster recovery time — both good reasons our orthopedic program is rated one of the best in the region.

NEW IMAGE SALON Let our professionals pamper you

Art students give to Hope Haven Exceeding all expectations, the art students of Ms. Nela Beyer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Junior Artists of the Lowcountry,â&#x20AC;? raised a donation of $980 to go towards the Hope Haven/SEEWALL Child project. Children beamed and cameras flashed as the check was presented to members of the board of directors of SEEWALL Child.

Ms. Beyer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children really enjoyed their gallery show (at 314 Charles St. on May 20), and the fact that some of what they earned would go to help other children. It was truly an inspiration to them.â&#x20AC;?

SEEWALL Child is a local nonprofit organization that installs interactive, multi-media, art-based units in centers for abused children, free of charge.

Most recently, the group installed a unit at CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association) in Beaufort County. At the end of June, a unit will also be installed in The Dee Norton Lowcountry

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center, which serves Charleston and surrounding counties.

Ms. Beyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sale of their colorful and imaginative work has given a tremendous send off to SEEWALLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest project: to install a unit at Hope Haven center for abused children and their sponsors, serving Beaufort and four other surrounding counties.

Create lasting memories with family portraits

By Susan Stott-Smith

Since we moved here from Maryland two months ago, we go to the Hunting Island every Sunday. This week, I sat and watched a young family playing with their tow-headed little boy. I turned to my husband of 28 years and asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where have the past 20 years gone?â&#x20AC;? It seems like just yesterday that we weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re that young family, playing on the beach with our little blond son. Well, he is now almost 25 and our daughter just turned 21. Luckily, I can actually see how the kids have grown up. I have their entire lives documented in pictures. You see, I grew up poor: 8 kids with a stay at home mom. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a camera, so

we just had the occasional school picture or the group shots with the rich relatives.

So I married me a photographer! We own a portrait studio and I made sure that we did family portraits in the studio every year for our Christmas card. I also had my photographer husband take our daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance pictures, our dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; puppy pictures, our sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cub Scout pictures, their senior portraits, etc, etc.

Now I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m over the top, but why not? I married me a photographer!

We have so many of our clients bring their teenagers in for their senior pictures and say to me â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have never had a family picture.â&#x20AC;? Or they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last time we had a family picture was when Timmy

was 2!â&#x20AC;? When I tell Mom weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a family session for free, her first words are, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no, I need to lose 20 pounds!â&#x20AC;? Well, my job before I owned a portrait studio was as a life insurance agent. I always tell my clients, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know what tomorrow may bring. Your family loves you just the way you are. If something were to happen to you tomorrow, will you deny your children and grandchildren a lasting memory of your family because you were a little, or a lot, overweight?â&#x20AC;? Take the picture! If you lose 50 pounds, reward yourself and take another one to replace it! Who wants their legacy picture to be the one at the beach, in a bathing suit (gasp) with flat hair and no makeup? Or

on a boat with a beer in your hand? Have a lovely professional portrait done!

My mother was super picky and vain.

My husband actually got a portrait of her that she liked! (of course, we retouched the heck out of it to remove wrinkles and turkey neck). When she passed away eight years ago, the first thing we did when we got home was to print copies of that portrait and send it to all her brothers and sisters and children and grandchildren. People want pictures!

Now I am just as vain as my mother, but I suck it up every year, fat or skinny, and get that family picture taken for the Christmas card. And I retouch the heck out of it.

Will the real Somerset Point please stand up?

By Kimberly Byrd

Coosaw River Estates? Somerset Point at Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island? What exactly is the true story behind this beautiful piece of property situated by the pristine waters and marshes of the Coosaw River and Intercoastal Waterway, located off of Brickyard Road on gorgeous Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island? Well, here it is.

In April 2006, Hilton C. Smith, Jr. of Charleston and 2 other out-of-town business partners purchased a 127 acre parcel of land then called Coosaw River Estates. While several homes were already located on the property, some of them for decades, the majority of this magnificent land was left to be developed.

The original intent of the owners was to sell lots, but as the economy hit one of its worst downturns in history, the plans changed. Hilton C. Smith, Jr., along with his sons Hilton Smith, III and Christopher Smith, also the sole owners of a successful building company, Manorhouse Builders of SC, became the primary owners of all Coosaw River Estates Phase I interior lots. Phase II and any waterfront lots are still owned along-side the original outof-town business partners with Hilton Smith, Jr. serving as managing member.

Hilton Smith, III states â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manorhouse Builders prides itself on being a family business and takes pride in building

every home as if it were our own.â&#x20AC;?

So why the name change? When Manorhouse Builders decided to take the neighborhood to a new level, and start building quality, Lowcountry homes at Somerset Point, the company felt that the then â&#x20AC;&#x153;staleâ&#x20AC;? neighborhood needed a facelift and brighter outlook. So the research started for a new name and competent team to take on this community.

Cherimie Crane and Associates of Ballenger Realty have an outstanding reputation of being excellent new construction experts. They have proven to be nothing less at Somerset Point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Manorhouse approached me about marketing their community, I was honored. Working so closely with such a reputable organization gives me confidence not only in the product, but resiliency in completing their goal and keeping their word. In a market with so many questioning the staying power or commitment of quality in home builders, working with Manorhouse allows my team to enthusiastically meet each new home owner and offer them not only amazing value, but also exceptional service,â&#x20AC;? says Cherimie Crane of Ballenger Realty.

As most Beaufort residents know, King Charles II granted land in what is today South Carolina, to eight Lords Proprietors. Shortly after, the Duke

of Beaufort, Henry Somerset, was elevated to Lord Proprietor status, thus becoming the origin of the Beaufort name. And so the name of Coosaw River Estates changes to Somerset Point at Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island.

While Manorhouse Builders of SC, based out of the Charleston area, serves as the primary builder of Somerset Point, individuals are still able to purchase a lot and select their own custom builder.

Manorhouse Builders is also very proud to say that 60 percent of the subcontractors who work on Somerset are locally based. From the very beginning, the company felt the impressiveness of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tight-knitâ&#x20AC;? community of Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island and felt it was important to establish relationships and trust with those individuals who work so hard for their community.

And so a â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than wonderful startâ&#x20AC;? begins again; this time with much higher hopes and un-heard-of success.

A community with deep-rooted history comes into 2011 with vigor. For more information on Somerset Point at Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island and Manorhouse Builders of South Carolina, please visit www.

SCAD welcomes two fashion giants

By Laura Trask

We all know that Savannah College of Art and Design is on par with some of the finest internationally recognized art schools, but this Lowcountry girl did not realize how prestigious the fashion design school at SCAD is. The student fashion show, which showcases the work of the top graduating seniors, is considered one of the premier student fashion shows in the country.

This fact was made abundantly clear to me when I heard that Andre Leon Talley (a longtime member of SCAD’s Board of Trustees) was to give a lifetime achievement award to legendary shoe designer Manolo Blanik. Imagine two of the most influential fashion icons in the world right down the road at SCAD! Now there are many colorful characters in the fashion world, but not a one has the enthusiasm, flamboyance, fashioncentricness of Andre Leon Talley.

A cape-wearing giant in the fashion world, Talley stands at an impressive height of 6’7”. He has been Vogue’s editor-at-large for 25 years, often penning a witty, pithy column called “Life With Andre.” Anna Wintour, Vogue Magazine’s Editor in Chief, considers Talley her main confidante.

He always has the queen of fashion’s ear

and can’t be missed, always dressed in an outlandish costume sitting at her side in the front row of the most important runway shows. Talley’s confidence makes him one of the few who can take on Wintour’s aloof and demanding personality and come out unscathed.

Talley was born in Durham, N.C., and raised primarily by his grandmother, whom he credits for giving him an

“understanding of luxury.” After graduating from Brown University, Talley made his way to New York where he got his first job as Andy Warhol’s assistant. Warhol’s association with fashion was Talley’s entry to what would become a 30-year career. And it’s a career in which he has championed higher visibility for African Americans, both as models and designers.

Manolo Blanik — all a women has to do is hear his name and the shoe fantasies begin. I don’t know many women who don’t consider themselves shoe lovers, and I think we would all agree Blanik took shoe design and turned it into art, always keeping in mind that he is designing for a woman whose eye is focused on sophistication and elegance.

Women all over the world have been known to line up in shoe departments with armloads of shoes waiting to have this visionary designer sign the soles of his creations with the intent of never

A highlight of the two fashion dynamos’ visit to the Lowcountry was a conversation held at the Lucas Theatre led by Eric Wilson, fashion columnist for The New York Times. The auditorium filled up quickly with fashion-obsessed women proudly sporting their “Manolos.” The discussion focused on Talley and Blanik’s 40-year friendship, Blanik’s fashion inspiration, Yves St. Laurent and Blanik giving credit to Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in “Sex and the City” for bringing his shoes to a younger fan base.

This well deserved award to one of fashion’s superstars has to be one of the highlights of Blanik’s career as he joins the ranks of Diane Von Furstenberg and John Galliano, just to name a few. But already Andre Leon Talley is pondering what dazzling talent to bring to SCAD for next year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Between Andre’s connections and the amazing living fashions legends that are still producing outstanding collections to this day, it will be interesting to see whom he chooses for next year.

Random thoughts of a retiree

By Jack Sparacino

1. I nearly fell off my chair when one of my new bankers called me “sweetie” over the phone when I was still in Connecticut. Well, it turns out that people often use terms of endearment in the South, even with total strangers (“What can I get ya, hon?”). Unfortunately, you could live up North for a lifetime and seldom get such a greeting.

2. Ever wonder where the best strawberries in the world are? Turns out they’re right here. How convenient.

3. Maynard Ferguson had a spectacular career as a big band leader and trumpeter. He could hit higher notes and play in a higher register than you would imagine a human being could achieve. In 2005, about a year before he died, I stopped to hear him play at Newtown High School in Connecticut on my way home from work. A pretty good crowd showed up, and I grabbed a perfect seat in the second row. He was in his 70s and did not look particularly well, but he was gracious and as awesome as ever solo as when he led a band of absolutely unbelievable twenty-somethings through the most amazing set of jazz arrangements I had ever heard. To this day, I wish my father could have joined me, as he died a few years before the concert and loved

that kind of music. When I think how tired I was that night and almost didn’t go, I can only conclude that it really is best to seize the moment. Do what you can, when you can. We just don’t get enough second chances in life, whether we deserve them or not, and sometimes none at all.

4. There are more crabs in Lowcountry waters than you can shake a trap at.

Crabs to the left of us, crabs to the right of us. They are fun (partly because they fight back) and practically free to catch, they taste great, and they are available most of the year. A real treat.

5. Dating these days. While there are far more internet and other hightech services available to help people meet each other now, I do not miss the dating scene. I think it was easier 30 or 40 years ago with no technology. There was less to consider, less to worry about, less pitfalls. But less people, too. My one piece of advice to daters is to forget about the old saying that “opposites attract.” A mountain of social science data proves that, in general, people are really attracted to those who are basically similar to themselves. So if you go where people like what you like, it just improves your odds of success.

6. Live oaks are quite a phenomenon here. They give us fall in the spring. For those who really like fall with all those

leaves swirling about, it’s a real bonus.

7. The boundary between civilized and uncivilized behavior is shockingly thin, as demonstrated in numerous studies. It never ceases to amaze me how nice people can be so easily goaded into acting in very mean-spirited ways.

8. What a pain to forget if you remembered to do something important yet mundane, like turning off the stove, portable heater or sprinkler.

But there is a simple remedy. Say what you are doing out loud and you will probably remember what you did. Try not to worry too much about whether someone heard you talking to yourself.

9. The United States is currently awash with simply fabulous storytellers.

Pat Conroy, John Grisham, Laura Hillenbrand, and Jane Leavy are just four that come to mind. I’m betting there are plenty more just coming on the scene and that is something to look forward to.

10. One of my favorite memories from living in Chicago was seeing the Blue Angels perform over Lake Michigan. I think it helped to nudge me into the aerospace business, where I spent 20 years. And it almost always comes to mind when I look up into the sky at jet fighters from the Marine Corps Air Station. The “sound of freedom” has always made me smile.

First Presbyterian packages 10,000 meals First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort packaged more than 10,000 meals on Sunday during a two-hour event for Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief agency.

“Church definitely left the building so to speak with these meals going to feed the least of God’s children around the world,” said Dr. Patrick Perryman, Senior Pastor at FPC. “Stop Hunger Now’s meal packaging program is one of the best intergenerational mission events I have ever experienced allowing full participation from our youngest children to seasoned adults.”

The meals packaged by FPC will primarily be used to support school feeding programs in developing countries. Stop Hunger Now and hunger experts agree that hunger is solvable and is the common thread among the world’s

most challenging issues. When hunger is targeted, specifically by supporting school feeding programs, you give leverage support to other causes including poverty, disease, education and the welfare of women and children.

“What a joy and blessing it was to

participate in such a meaningful program for others less fortunate,” said Bill Harvey, life-long member and elder at FPC. “The participation of more than 50 of our members was inspiring. We look forward to doing more to stop world hunger.”

In addition to international efforts

of hunger relief, FPC is committed to a monthly food drive for HELP of Beaufort, which provides food assistance for the local community.

Stop Hunger Now’s mission is to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources. Since 1998, the organization has coordinated the distribution of food and other lifesaving aid to children and families in countries all over the world.

Stop Hunger Now has provided more than $70 million dollars worth of direct aid and 34 million meals to 72 countries worldwide.

Motorcycle ride benefits wounded soldiers

Recent drought conditions has all but dried up a “land locked” tidal pond on Lemon Island, just south of the Broad River bridge. Here, receding water leaves only cracked “pluff ” mud behind.

As the water from this pond recedes, nothing is left behind but cracking pluff mud. Decaying organic material in the mud is also creating a stench.

continued from page 1 Measuring the innate characteristics of a good dad is impossible. Examining the behavior of his children is the only real variable in the equation. And David Black and his wife, Kristi, have raised polite, confident and well-rounded young adults.

You don’t get awards for being “best father,” but if you ask Shuler or Mills Black, they will agree their “dad is the best.”

Black, an attorney with Howell, Gibson and Hughes works hard at the law firm all day and still makes the time he spends with his children absolute priority. This is

what his children had to say about their dad, David Black: Shuler Black, 14, says, “He has a will to support and please while ensuring proper principles like no other. He readily attends events of mine from practices to tournaments and is constantly giving me great advice regarding character and athletics. The truth is that I couldn’t have been blessed with a better dad.”

Mills Black, 12, says, “My dad supports me both at school and in my dance classes.

He is always there for me and is always helping me out when I need him. He encourages me to do my best in everything that I do. All in all, he is the rock of our family, and we are so thankful to have such a special dad.”

Lila Alcott sports her life jacket at the Water Festival Fishing Tournament.

Wear your life jacket, get busted by DNR Summer is here and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get out on the water with family and friends, but safety is always the number one priority. S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Law Enforcement is reminding the public of the lifesaving value of wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) or what is commonly referred to as a life jacket.

Officers, during courtesy boat inspections on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterways and landings, will give out T-shirts stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got caught wearing my life jacketâ&#x20AC;? along with a coupon for a free Frosty from Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to select young adults and children who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;caughtâ&#x20AC;? wearing a life jacket.

Boating accidents can and often do occur at terrifying speeds. Finding your PFD and attempting to put it on after the accident is almost impossible. Life jackets are of little use if you are not wearing them and save lives only if they are worn. PFDs need to be readily accessible and are not classified as such if stowed in compartments or under equipment.

The boat operator is responsible for having a proper-fitting U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket for all passengers on board. Throwable devices, such as flotation cushions, are required in addition to wearable devices on boats 16 feet and longer. Life jackets must be serviceable without tears, holes or other damage or wear that would decrease the effectiveness of the device.

Any person younger than 12-years-old, in a boat less than 16 feet long, must wear a PFD. It is especially important to check the size and fit of life jacket for children.

Anyone on a personal watercraft, which includes Jet Skis, Sea-Doos, WaveRunners and others, must also wear a Coast Guard-approved flotation device.

Find out more about PFDs at the DNR website: www.boat-ed.com/sc/ handbook/pfds.htm. Take the online DNR boating course at www.boat-ed.com/ southcarolina/index.html.

LOCO Â MOTION

*HW ÂżW DQG KHDOWK\ DQG ÂżJKW EUHDVW FDQFHU

By Marie McAden

Three days. Thirty miles. The inaugural LoCo Motion walking and running eventâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;set for Sept. 30- Oct. 2 in the Lowcountryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will turn couch potatoes into cross-country champions to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.

Sound like more than your feet can handle? No worries. Event organizers have scheduled 15 weeks of free training sessions in Beaufort, Bluffton and Hilton Head Island to help participants prepare for the big fall show date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is your opportunity to do something you never thought was possible,â&#x20AC;? said event organizer Laura Morgan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be intimidated by the distance. You can do it.â&#x20AC;?

A reduced version of the 60-mile â&#x20AC;&#x153;Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cureâ&#x20AC;? walk, LoCo Motion was designed to appeal to a greater audience by cutting the distance in half and opening it to both walkers and runners. More than 3,000 are expected to participate.

The event will begin Friday afternoon, Sept. 30 at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa with a 10-mile walk/run along the beach and area neighborhoods. The following day, LoCo Motion will move to Blufftonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Town for another 10-mile trek at the Calhoun Street Promenade. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to Hilton Head for the last 10-mile leg set to take off Sunday morning, Oct. 2 from Coligny Beach.

Recognizing that most people will need to build up to walking 10 miles a day, free training sessions have been scheduled every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning starting June 21. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be registered as a LoCo Motion participant to take part in the

In Beaufort, training sessions will be offered at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and 7:30 a.m. Saturdays at Beaufort Memorialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LifeFit Wellness Center.

Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walking with others can help you stay motivated to get fit and healthy.â&#x20AC;?

Each session will start with a brief clinic on a variety of health and exercise topics from stretching to hydration to foot care.

Beaufort Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clinical Nutrition Manager Roxanne DavisCote will offer tips on what to eat and drink during the training sessions and the three-day event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recommend two to four ounces of water per mile,â&#x20AC;? Davis-Cote said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you start to feel thirsty, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already dehydrated.â&#x20AC;?

A well-balanced diet that includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lowfat dairy and lean meats also is essential to condition your body for an intense workout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nutrition is energy,â&#x20AC;? Davis-Cote explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to put energy in before you put energy out.â&#x20AC;?

To stay fueled, runners may want to pack energy gels that are easy to carry and eat on the go. For walkers, a piece of fruit or low fat snack bar will help maintain stamina.

LoCo Motion is one of several fundraising events put on by Carolina Cups, a non-profit public charity dedicated to funding breast cancer education, screening, treatment, and clinical research.

Proceeds from LoCo Motion will benefit several regional cancer organizations, providing breast cancer screening, treatment, and research for Lowcountry residents. Funding recipients include Beaufort Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keyserling Cancer Center, BeaufortJasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health, the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, the Breast Cancer Program at Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northside Hospital, the Hollings Cancer Center at MUSC in Charleston and the American Cancer Society.

Expecting mothers and massages

By Megan Feight

Pregnancy is a beautiful and wonderful time in a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nine transformative months full of excitement, planning and peering at the unfolding life inside. But all of these changes challenge, stress and wreck havoc on a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. Mood swings, body aches, depression, breast pain, nausea, joint pain, heart burn, swollen legs and ankles plague women during this time of rapid growth and transformation. Pregnancy massage is a comforting and soothing option for expectant mothers.

Many women may view massage as a pampering luxury for special occasions only. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remove that notion and look at what physically happens inside our body during and after a massage, and we will begin to understand that massage is more than a luxury but a crucial outlet to gain health, well being and mental clarity.

A recent study from the Touch Institute of Miami, Fla., indicates that massage provides more than

As you rub sunscreen on to protect your skin this summer, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to protect your eyes as well. Summertime means more time spent outdoors, and studies show that exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of developing cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and growths on the eye, including cancer.

By wearing UV blocking sunglasses, you can enjoy the summer safely while lowering your risk for potentially blinding eye diseases and tumors. It is important to start wearing proper eye protection at an early age to protect the eyes from years of ultraviolet exposure.

Your eyes are at risk from the sun yearround. However, the longer the exposure to bright light as happens frequently during the summer, the greater the risk is.

Excessive exposure to UV light reflected off sand, water or pavement can damage the eyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; front surface. In addition to cataracts and AMD, sun exposure can lead to lesions and tumors that may be cosmetically unappealing and require surgical removal.

Pinguecula, tiny yellow bumps on the eye, are common from too much UV exposure.

They begin on the white part of the eye and may eventually disrupt your vision.

Damage to the eyes from UV light is not limited to the outdoors; it is also a concern with indoor tanning beds. Tanning beds can produce UV levels up to 100 times what you would get from the sun, which can cause very serious damage to the external and internal structures of the eye and eyelids. Corneal burns, cataracts, and, in rare instances, retinal damage can occur.

It is critical that you wear the properly designed goggles for use in tanning booths to protect the eyes.

Q ON BAY

By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

The Lunch Bunch had the pleasure of dining at Q on Bay, located at 822 Bay Street at the former site of Kathleen’s Restaurant. Owned by Jason Bailey and Chris Johnson, Q on Bay offers fine barbeque, good old-fashioned Southern fixin’s and some of the tastiest wings in town.

Q on Bay is family friendly with some of the largest booths I’ve seen in all of Beaufort. Parties of eight can easily fit at these over-sized tables, perfect for the Marine Corps graduation gathering, the after-church lunch or the kickball wind down. The dining room in the front can accommodate large groups, while the back area caters to the sports-minded patron eager to watch the big game on one of four 50” big screen TVs, with Q on Bay owners Jason Bailey, left, Chris Johnson, right, with actor Gerald McRaney. more to come.

The large porch outside overlooks Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.

The breeze that comes off the river is enjoyable, even in June’s heat. We sat on the porch and commented on how perfect the experience was — good company, friendly staff and a gorgeous afternoon. And the food? Well, let’s just say I’ve been to Q on Bay almost three to four times per week since it opened in May. The food is just awesome!

The taming of the screw

By Terry Sweeney

On a recent stay in the Hamptons at the Sag Harbor mansion of some richy rich friends of mine; (yes I know that sounded a bit braggy, but read on and you’ll find out why this hoity toity piece of background information is relevant),!

I was asked by my charming hostess, who was having a dinner party, to grab another bottle of her house red from under her bar. I graciously obeyed and, being a professional wine consultant and wine columnist, of course took on the task of opening it. All alone in her vast kitchen, I searched in vain for a simple corkscrew, but instead came upon a fancy version — something called the Metrokane Rabbit Deluxe Wine Pull.

I’d seen these cartoony monstrosities before, but had never really worked one.

How hard could it be? Well, I wrestled with the darn thing for at least 10 minutes, but the cork refused to budge.

I gave it one good heave ho and it was then I felt the cork move — down into the bottle!

What did head upward, however, was a huge sploosh of red wine that vaguely resembled Old Faithful. And that splashed my hostess’s newly painted ceiling and expensive cabinets, leaving her entire fancy kitchen looking like a seedy crime scene. Well, she did say “house wine, ”I said to myself. Probably

some cheap bargain swill. Thank God for that at least!! It was then I turned the bottle around and saw it was Petrus!

(A $400 BOTTLE OF WINE!) I Terry tentatively stuck my Sweeney head around a corner and shakily called out while trying to appear nonchalant.

“Hey, so Petrus is your house wine?”

“Oh no,” she replied, “you must have gone to the wrong bar. The only Petrus we have is the one we bought at the Chateau in Bordeaux on our 20th anniversary, and hand carried back on the plane. We’re going to open it on our fortieth, only nine more years to go, but it will be worth the wait!”

OMG, I muttered horrified. “Well so long folks!! It was nice knowing ya!” I ran upstairs to quickly pack and jump in my rental car and speed off. (Of course with the luck I was having I’d run over their adored and pampered Maltese on the way out of the driveway.) Mercifully, they thought the entire mishap was very amusing and I remained their houseguest. Bless their multi-millionaire hearts!

Still, I was left to ponder my troubled relationship with the corkscrew. You

know, back in ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, the corks that were used to seal bottles wisely extended above the rim of the bottle neck — far enough to be grasped firmly, and making them much easier to remove. But after the fall of Rome in the fifth century, cork bottles disappeared from use for a thousand years. It wasn’t until the late 16th century that corks reappeared in England and, along with them, early versions of the cork screw. Over the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, various dedicated inventors worked on improvements to the corkscrew. (I’d mention all their names, but let’s face it I can barely keep the names straight of all those bitchy “Real Housewives,” not to mention the endless parade of floozy “Bachelorettes” or all the trash that has washed up on “The Jersey Shore.”)

Let us suffice to say that over many years, many, many people dedicated their lives to making a better corkscrew. So many, in fact, that in 1997 Fred O’Leary published his book: “Corkscrews, 1,000 Patented Ways to Open a Bottle.” Leave it to an Irishman to try all 1,000.

As I Googled the world of the corkscrew online, I came upon an interesting group of corkscrew nuts who got together in 2003 at the Annual General Meeting of the International Correspondence of Corkscrew Addicts

in Roanoke, Virginia. The gentleman who hosted this website had posted numerous photos of antique and modern corkscrews that he had obviously painstakingly collected over the years. I thought “Good God, what a bore that must have been.”

How wrong I was. The very last shot was him sitting in a vintage rattan peacock chair at the Pat Pong Corkscrew Club in Bangkok, Thailand, with a bevy of topless Thai hookers draped all over him. I’m not kidding, it went from the dullest bunch of shots of rusted corkscrews to X-rated Thai porn! Well, pardon me!

I guess the bottom line for me is that perhaps the best way to deal with the corkscrew is to realize that maybe its time has come and gone.! After all, you can’t carry one onto a plane anymore and, besides, nowadays there is so much data out there that affirms that one out of every 10 corked bottles suffers from “the taint,” which ruins the taste. And though I feel bad for the cork farmers (add them to a long list of people I feel bad for), I have to admit I just love a screw top.! And more and more people like me are becoming fun-loving ScrewToppers!!

So, so long ya crazy old corkscrew, see ya in Thailand!

Cheers!

Dogs benefit by eating green Dogs are remarkably flexible in their tastes. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll polish off a bowl of dried dog food, then walk over to see if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything tasty in the trash.

If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hungry, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wander upstairs to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the cat box. Basically, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat, or at least sample, whatever they find.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good reason for their liberal tastes. Unlike cats, that evolved solely as hunters, dogs survived by scavenging.

When they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch live prey, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d eat the ancient equivalent of road kill. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care too much if had been lying in the sun for a week or was moldering under old leaves. It was food, and they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to pass it up. When meat wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the menu, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rummage around for tender leafy stalks, berries, grasses, fruits, flower blossoms, seeds and even a few roots, They simply werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fussy, and dogs today havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten any fussier. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re predisposed to like just about everything.

In addition, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some evidence that dogs get cravings for certain foods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that dogs occasionally get a hankering for greens, just as people sometimes go to bed dreaming about Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fried chicken. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as strange as it may sound. There is also a theory that dogs may not always be seeking food, but are intuitively seeking medicine.

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

FACTS, OBSERVATIONS AND MUSINGS ABOUT OUR BEST FRIENDS

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. Tracie is a holistic behavior coach, a canine massage therapist (CCMT), herbalist, and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

Unlike cats, that evolved solely as hunters, dogs survived by scavenging.

They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fussy, and dogs today havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten any fussier about food.

For example, in early spring, dogs like Moses, may be attracted to the first shoots of common quack grass (Elytrigia repens). Each blade of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;dog grassâ&#x20AC;? contains silicon for strong joints and connective tissues, essential fatty acids for clear skin and shiny coat, enzymes for digestion, chlorophyll for antioxidant support and soaplike saponin constituents that combine with the stringy fibers to help cleanse the digestive tract and keep parasites at bay.

After a winter of kibble, a dog may feel his system needs a boost.

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

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

The oils contained in the raw seeds of flax, currants, wheat, pumpkins and squash may be relished for an extra measure of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that are needed for skin and coat health. Pumpkin seeds are also a natural vermifuge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; expels intestinal parasites.

Even certain kinds of algae (â&#x20AC;&#x153;pond scumâ&#x20AC;?) contain a cornucopia of nutrients and

disease-fighting chemicals that wild dogs may seek in time of need. But how do we provide these things for our â&#x20AC;&#x153;suburban wolves?â&#x20AC;? When do they need these things and in what amount?

By serving a daily helping of nutritive herbs and â&#x20AC;&#x153;green foodâ&#x20AC;? at mealtime your dog will be provided added measure of nutritional or systemic support.

Good â&#x20AC;&#x153;greensâ&#x20AC;? are flaxseed, spirulina, garlic, dandelion root, kelp, alfalfa and nettle.

Before you â&#x20AC;&#x153;go for the greenâ&#x20AC;? on behalf of your Best Friend and head to the store for supplements, it is important to realize that green food supplements only serve to round out a good diet.

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

But, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a do-it-yourself type and are conscientious about what goes into your dog, adding a commercial green supplement or a combo-mix of the beneficial herbs or even providing your Best Friend with his own tray of barley or wheat grass can only increase his energy, shine up his coat, float some anti-cancer antioxidants in his system, reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis and tidy up his digestion.
