Food truck phenomenon rolls into town Often dubbed curbside cuisine, food trucks have come a long way from the humble hot dog cart.

According to Chef2Chef website, “The food truck invasion is taking over America’s street corners from LA to NYC and Portland to Austin. There are no limits to the types of food that are now being sold from trucks and carts — a million chicken dishes; Korean BBQ tacos; Indian curries; sushi; waffles; cupcakes; rice balls; regular, gourmet, eco-friendly, or Black Angus, grass-fed, organic burgers; vegan-friendly fare; ice cream treats and desserts of every type and delicious design...”

In the last couple of years, this trend has created such a fan base that entire

TV shows are now devoted to the topic.

The Food Network is about to launch season 4 of “The Great Food Truck Race” with Tyler Florence (a South Carolina native), The Cooking Channel hosts “The Food Truck Revolution” and “Eat Street”, to name a few.

But that’s not all. In major cities, true devotees tack the daily location of their

favorite trucks through social media, websites and phone apps. In order to help boost their public image, control standards, and host gatherings of vendors, many areas have created nonprofit food truck alliances. An example of this in the Lowcountry is The Charleston Food Truck Federation which was established in 2011 “as a resource that provides open communication throughout the mobile food industry and spotlights the diversity of the culinary landscape of Charleston, the Southeast and beyond.”

But this trend isn’t just for major cities. Food trucks can now be spotted right here in Beaufort.

The Island News relocates to new office space

By Pamela Brownstein

Location, location, location.

This oft-used phrase seems a fitting way to describe The Island News’ recent move from 201 Carteret Street to its new office at 308 Charles Street.

“While we enjoyed the past three years at our old location, we

are excited about this new location and the opportunity to share space with so many other local creative minds,” said Kim Harding and Elizabeth Newberry, publishers of The Island News, the awardwinning weekly newspaper that serves northern Beaufort County.

Beaufort cleaning up yard debris challenges A long winter followed by falling leaves from live oaks and a few windy thunderstorms created an abundance of yard debris around Beaufort this spring. The next weekends were good yard-working weather, which created huge amounts of debris for Beaufort’s waste-haulers to collect.

As the haulers were trying to clean up the city, the heavy thunderstorms soaked the local landfill, halting dumping for a short while. Coupled with last Monday’s Memorial Day holiday when the landfill was closed, a few mechanical breakdowns and employee illnesses, and Beaufort City leaders aren’t happy with the way Beaufort looks.

“We’ve been caught in a perfect storm that created more yard debris than usual, plus the landfill problems, and plus some people aren’t following the guidelines for disposing yard debris, household garbage and recyclables,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.

“We are catching up now, but we need to work together to prevent this from happening again,” he said. “We all take great pride in how Beaufort looks, to our residents and to our visitors.”

Following the city’s guidelines for pick-up of garbage, yard debris and recyclables is required by city ordinance.

“Our public works team and Waste Pro have been putting in extra time to catch up with the Beaufort clean-up, but some of that time has been spent explaining why yard debris has to be bagged or bundled, or why someone can’t use their own garbage can on the side of their street,” said Isiah Smalls, Beaufort’s director of public works and facilities management.

Highlights of the guidelines include: Normal Household Yard Debris: Should be bagged or bundled, in 50 lbs maximum weight and 4-foot length maximums. If you have items that do not comfortably fit in a bag you may “tie” into bundles with the same weight and length limits. This means shrubbery clippings that residents don’t wish to bag should be “tied” into bundles.

You can have as many bags or bundles as you wish, as long as they meet the weight and length requirements, and also the bundles are tied and meet weight and length requirements.

For items that do not meet these requirements (such as large tree limbs) or any loose debris, residents should contact Waste Pro directly at 645-4100 and request a “special trash service” quote. There is a possible charge for non-normal yard debris. A Waste Pro supervisor will come out and let resident know of cost for removal.

Recycling: All items should be placed inside the recycling bin, and if there are extras place items inside a clear plastic bag and place on top of recycling bin, or beside. Residents should be clear to use the correct container — use the recycling bin and not the roll cart for garbage.

Roll Carts: All household garbage should be placed inside plastic bags that are secured and placed inside the roll cart.

Roadside placement: The roll cart and/or recycling bin should be out by 7 a.m. on the designated day of service.

Household garbage pick-up: All household garbage to be collected by Waste Pro personnel must be placed in disposable plastic garbage bags or some other disposable container and placed in the roll cart provided by the city. The roll cart is to be placed inside the curb, outside the drainage ditch line of the street, near the front line of your premises, no earlier than 5:30 a.m. and no later than 7 a.m. on the designated day of pick-up.

No containers of any shape, size or form other than the roll carts provided by the City of Beaufort will be emptied and returned to the curb.

To find out your day for Waste Pro pick-up, visit www.cityofbeaufort.org, go to Departments/Public Works and click on Sanitation. Residents also can call 645-4100.

We have dynamic synergy within a diversity of businesses and have the opportunity to network and innovate alongside likeminded entrepreneurs.

The interior design talents of Ginger and Jody Miller of Plum Productions give the inside of the historic two-story white building a feeling of modern Southern whimsy.

• As the economy recovers in Beaufort County is there a reduction in local crime?

• Current role of the Sheriff ’s Office in regard to illegal immigration?

• Most significant challenge facing the Sheriff ’s Office in the next decade.

• In this era of tight money, should a metropolitan type of law enforcement be considered in northern Beaufort County?

“The view of downtown is lovely from the windows of the new office,” Nikki said. “And I think this will be a great space to meet with clients and a place where we can continue to provide the community with the quality publication they expect — and deserve.”

“When Ginger approached us about the new location, we felt it was the right time for a change and the move represents a positive new chapter for The Island News,” said Elizabeth.

June is Cataract Awareness Month

By Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

Throughout the month of June, Sea Island Ophthalmology would like to help people become more aware of the serious eye disease of cataracts. There are about 22 million Americans aged 40 and older who suffer with cataracts, and more than half the people over age 65 have some degree of cataract development. Cataracts are now the leading cause of blindness among adults over 55 years of age.

Moreover, a study out of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston indicates that seniors suffering from poor vision have shown evidence of a premature mental decline.

Additionally, a study found that patients who received cataract surgery had a significantly reduced rate of hip fractures from falls.

The results of these studies clearly bring to light the importance of routine eye care for older adults, who are at increased risk of eye conditions that cause severe visual impairment such as cataracts.

The good news is that vision loss caused by cataracts can be easily treated. Cataract surgery is now one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States and has a 99 percent success rate.

This is why ophthalmologists recommend scheduling a yearly eye exam for all those who might be at risk.

The Symptoms

voted “best dentist” in the island news every year

Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com. 525-1500.

Cataracts can cause a variety of symptoms or signs. One common symptom is often compared to looking through a dirty car windshield or a smeared camera lens. Other symptoms may include: • Blurred vision • Difficulties reading or driving at night • Difficulty with glare (such as a bright sun or automobile headlights) • Dull color vision • Increased nearsightedness (with frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions) • Occasional double vision in one eye.

The Diagnosis Cataracts can be detected during a thorough eye examination. The doctor can see the affected lens in your eye while performing a variety of tests using specialized viewing instruments.

By selecting the appropriate tests, the doctor will be able to determine how much a cataract might be affecting your vision. The doctor will also perform

Cataract surgery is now one of the most commonly performed procedures in the United States and has a 99 percent success rate. This is why ophthalmologists recommend scheduling a yearly eye exam for all those who are at-risk. a thorough examination of the eye to ensure any vision loss is not due to other eye problems, such as diabetes, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.

The Treatment Some cataracts never progress to the point where they require treatment, while others progress more rapidly.

Cataracts commonly affect both eyes, but it is not uncommon for a cataract in one eye to advance more rapidly than one in the other. Surgery is generally recommended for those who experience detectable vision loss.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cataracts, please request an appointment for your cataract surgery consultation.

ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH There is absolutely no motion you can make with your wrist with a manual toothbrush that is going to be better than the circular motion of a rotary toothbrush.

Secondly, the small head of the rotary brush gets into tighter places than the larger head of the manual brush.

Thirdly, the average person brushes for 37 seconds. The rotary brush has a timer and if one brushes the lower teeth for a minute and the uppers for a minute, I will assure you it will be much more thorough.

Pre-sent from the past and into the future

By Martha O’Regan

We are living in a very exciting time as human consciousness continues to expand in ways that, even a few years ago, were only shared by a small number of openminded individuals and certainly not in a public arena. Now the lines that have kept so many structures separate are beginning to soften, blur or completely vaporize as families and communities come together to discuss ways to grow, create change and evolve as a culture.

Diversity in ideas and beliefs are more accepted as the need to judge someone else’s views as right or wrong, bad or good, is being replaced with the ability to see that many parts create the whole. No longer are we settling for everything to look a certain way or that we need to follow the “sheeple” by doing what everyone else is doing. We are beginning to believe again in the power of love, compassion, equality, and joy more than we can remember.

There are many scientists, teachers, guides and gurus out there sharing the fact that we create our reality from things we

Awakenings

Teachings from TheraVista Educate • Motivate • Integrate www.theravista.org • 843-812-1328

can’t touch, see, hear, or often even imagine and we’re buying it — at least as much as our brains can handle. Why? I believe it is because we can sense it deep in our core as a spiritual knowingness that has always been there, but is just recently re-awakening. The challenge is that even when we can feel it, we still want it to make sense and be able to have an intelligent linear conversation about it, yet the quantum world is far from sensible or linear. Books about returning from near death experiences, reuniting with past lives, setting intentions or manifesting your dreams, goals and desires all share the same theme: We are bigger than we think

we are. We are more than we can think we are because we are infinite and go beyond space and time.

That is all fine and good, but, what about right here, right now? How do we use this amazing knowledge to live in our world today, pay our bills, manage a home and family, and maintain health and well-being? The answer we are given is to live consciously each and every moment, watch what unfolds based on what shows up in front of us, and simply ask, “how is this serving my highest good?” or “what is this teaching me?” or “how/why the heck did I create this?”

Sounds so simple, just not always easy, especially at first while we learn to weed through all of the distractions that we have created to make our lives make sense or to keep us safe. These are the structures we can begin to dissolve as we choose to wake up to new possibilities.

I just love looking at words and trying to imagine who made them up and what they must have been thinking at the time.

While contemplating what it means to stay in the present moment, I saw the word through the quantum field and it hit me that each moment has been pre-sent from something I thought, said, heard, believed or created from the past. Likewise, every thought, word and deed that I may be having right now is being pre-sent to become my future. Whoa .... right?

That moment changed everything for me, allowing me to catch those thoughts that I certainly have no desire to manifest on any level, and shift them immediately into something that I would love to create. Of course, I miss a few along the way, so when that unexpected or bizarre experience shows up “out of nowhere,” I can trust that it is just what I asked for from somewhere in my past and can begin to explore the why without judgment or anger but with curiosity and discovery.

So, take the challenge to observe what shows up at this “pre-sent” moment without judgment and take care in what you pre-send into tomorrow.

Live Awake ... Have Fun!

Oh, deer The Garden Guru

By Susan Stone

This month we’ll address how to get rid of Aphids, and answer some pressing questions about deer.

Question: I was wondering if you have a natural solution to rid my Oleanders from a small type of fly that is covering the stems with yellow, what I assume to be eggs or larvae. Mike Answer: Sounds like you have Aphids, Mike. This little mix should do the trick. You’ll need garlic oil, dish soap and water. I use wet garlic (in glass jars) from the produce department.

Put 1 tbsp. garlic oil and a few drops of dish soap in a household spray bottle (approx. 30 oz.), then fill with water.

Saturate the affected area, but also spray any sooty mold you find on the plant. Be sure to replace the oil you’ve poured off (I use olive oil), so you’ll have it ready for next time.

Garlic and onion sprays are very effective on plant mildews and funguses.

Question: How can you prevent deer from ravaging your yard? Are there any deer resistant flowers?

Answer: Imagine if you will, coming home from a long day at work and you discover that someone has left you a beautiful basket full of chocolates, cookies and all your favorite treats. You would be more than tempted to sample — hey, it’s your house! You may not even

Remember, when gardening and so it is with life ... too much of a good thing is still too much! wait to read the card!

This is precisely how a new garden looks to the deer. You’ve just planted a hedge of roses and in front of them a beautiful mix of Hibiscus flowers. The deer come along that evening and think: “Wow, these humans really love me ... this is all my favorite food! How did they know?”

There are many animal resistant products available and I have probably tried them all over the years including fragrant bars of soap, human fertilizer, blood meal, solar sound emitters and scarecrows. I’ve tried surrounding plants they like with plants they don’t like, plus every product I could find on a retail shelf. Do they work? Sometimes, or for

recipe of the month: deer repellent

This one comes from Janie Torrens on Hilton Head. She says it’s tried and true!

You will need 1 gallon water (I put it in a plastic milk bottle). Beat up two eggs and put in water. Add 1 cup of Murphy’s Oil Soap. Set out in the sun for two days.

Works without sun but only if it’s hot out. I put it in a pump spray bottle then.

Smells bad, but slowly goes away. The deer do not like the taste of it. Reapply after heavy rain.

a while, then they don’t.

If you insist on having roses or other plants that attract the deer, try feeding them in another area of your yard. Fifty pound bags of corn are much cheaper than replacing plants. They prefer corn over most of what you have — but that is still not a guarantee.

Like it or not, your yard is their home too. But that doesn’t mean you cannot coexist happily. There are many flowers and plants that deer will not eat, there are even more that they will occasionally nibble on and then there is the long list of deer candy.

Here is a list of my personal favorite deer resistant flowers. Most of them I have never seen deer touch. A few of them have been tasted, but not

preferred, so I will include them as well, in no particular order: • Plumbago • Ginger (including the variegated) • Oyster Plant • Yarrow • Monarda (Bee Balm) • Setcreasea • Lantana • Vinca • All the Salvias • African Iris • Flax Lily (Dienella) • Farfugium • Zinnia • Phlox • Cleome • Gaillardia • Echinacea • Rudebeckia • All the Sedums • Coreopsis • Canna • Sunflowers • Marigolds.

Annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR)

JANUARY 1, 2013 TO DECEMBER 31, 2013 Harbor Island 0750013

We are pleased to present to you this year’s annual Consumer Confidence Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of water and services we deliver to you everyday.

Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) provides our water, with its source being the Savannah River; the raw water is treated at the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant. The river water travels 18 miles via open canal to the water plant located in the Chelsea area. The Chelsea Water Treatment Plant provides up to 24 million gallons per day (mgd) to residences and businesses in northern Beaufort County. This plant can also be used to supplement water supplies in southern Beaufort County as necessary. BJWSA’s annual report is available for your review at www.bjwsa.org. This report details our water quality and what it means. In addition to BJWSA testing, Harbor Island Utilities routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring, minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. These substances can include microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and radioactive substances. All drinking water including bottled water may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

More information about contaminants and potential health risks can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Milestone Garden-a-Day attracts record crowd

By Lanier Laney

Twenty years ago, Marion Leach (age 92) founded the Garden A Day event in Beaufort through the Beaufort Garden Club.

“I wanted the garden club here to do something for National Garden Week ( June 1-7), but we aren’t big enough for a whole week of gardens, so I came up with Garden-a-Day,” said Marian with a smile. “There is no charge for it, it’s a gift from the homeowners, the Beaufort Garden Club, and for the past few years, the Lowcountry Master Gardener Association.” The Master Gardeners act as docents at each garden and Garden-a-Day founder Marion Leach, center, with Master tell visitors the names of particular flowers and plants.

This is its 80th year, making it the oldest

garden club in the county and one of the oldest in the state. It’s founded on a charter that limits its members to 29, and there is a waiting list. Deena Kulp is the current president.

Marion, who has visited every garden, every year, for the past 20, had nothing but great things to say about her many years with the Beaufort Garden Club. “To me it is the ‘premier’ garden club — premier meaning both first and best,” she said with a smile and headed off into the garden on her walker.

Kudos to Marion Leach for having that original vision of beauty to create this event and to the Beaufort Garden Club and all the homeowners over those many years who brought that vision alive and have given so much to the residents and visitors to our community.

Job well done!

A Pure Miracle

Editor’s Note: In recognition of the 70th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, the Ernie Pyle World War II Museum in Dana, Indiana, and the Scripps Howard Foundation are offering reprints of columns written by journalist Ernie Pyle immediately after the Normandy invasion in 1944. It’s a reminder to all of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many Americans to maintain the freedoms we enjoy.

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 12, 1944 — Due to a last-minute alteration in the arrangements, I didn’t arrive on the beachhead until the morning after D-day, after our first wave of assault troops had hit the shore.

By the time we got here the beaches had been taken and the fighting had moved a couple of miles inland. All that remained on the beach was some sniping and artillery fire, and the occasional startling blast of a mine geysering brown sand into the air. That plus a gigantic and pitiful litter of wreckage along miles of shoreline.

Submerged tanks and overturned boats and burned trucks and shell-shattered jeeps and sad little personal belongings were strewn all over these bitter sands.

That plus the bodies of soldiers lying in rows covered with blankets, the toes of their shoes sticking up in a line as though on drill. And other bodies, uncollected, still sprawling grotesquely in the sand or half hidden by the high grass beyond the beach.

That plus an intense, grim determination of work-weary men to get this chaotic beach organized and get all the vital supplies and the reinforcements moving more rapidly over it from the stacked-up ships standing in droves out to sea. * Now that it is over it seems to me a pure miracle that we ever took the beach at all.

For some of our units it was easy, but in this special sector where I am now our troops faced such odds that our getting ashore was like my whipping Joe Louis down to a pulp.

In this column I want to tell you what the opening of the second front in this one sector entailed, so that you can know and appreciate and forever be humbly grateful to those both dead and alive who did it for you.

Ashore, facing us, were more enemy troops than we had in our assault waves.

The advantages were all theirs, the disadvantages all ours. The Germans were dug into positions that they had been working on for months, although these were not yet all complete. A one-hundredfoot bluff a couple of hundred yards back from the beach had great concrete gun emplacements built right into the hilltop.

These opened to the sides instead of to the front, thus making it very hard for naval

fire from the sea to reach them. They could shoot parallel with the beach and cover every foot of it for miles with artillery fire.

Then they had hidden machine-gun nests on the forward slopes, with crossfire taking in every inch of the beach. These nests were connected by networks of trenches, so that the German gunners could move about without exposing themselves.

Throughout the length of the beach, running zigzag a couple of hundred yards back from the shoreline, was an immense V-shaped ditch fifteen feet deep. Nothing could cross it, not even men on foot, until fills had been made. And in other places at the far end of the beach, where the ground is flatter, they had great concrete walls.

These were blasted by our naval gunfire or by explosives set by hand after we got ashore.

Our only exits from the beach were several swales or valleys, each about one hundred yards wide. The Germans made the most of these funnel-like traps, sowing them with buried mines. They contained, also, barbed-wire entanglements with mines attached, hidden ditches, and machine guns firing from the slopes.

This is what was on the shore. But our men had to go through a maze nearly as deadly as this before they even got ashore.

Underwater obstacles were terrific. The Germans had whole fields of evil devices under the water to catch our boats. Even now, several days after the landing, we have cleared only channels through them and cannot yet approach the whole length of the beach with our ships. Even now some ship or boat hits one of these mines every day and is knocked out of commission.

The Germans had masses of those great six-pronged spiders, made of railroad iron and standing shoulder-high, just beneath the surface of the water for our landing craft to run into. They also had huge logs buried in the sand, pointing upward and outward, their tops just below the water.

Attached to these logs were mines.

In addition to these obstacles they had floating mines offshore, land mines buried in the sand of the beach, and more mines in checkerboard rows in the tall grass beyond the sand. And the enemy had four men on shore for every three men we had approaching the shore.

And yet we got on. * Beach landings are planned to a schedule that is set far ahead of time. They all have to be timed, in order for everything to mesh and for the following waves of troops to be standing off the beach and ready to land at the right moment.

As the landings are planned, some elements of the assault force are to break through quickly, push on inland, and attack the most obvious enemy strong points. It is usually the plan for units to be inland, attacking gun positions from behind, within a matter of minutes after the first men hit the beach.

I have always been amazed at the speed called for in these plans. You’ll have schedules calling for engineers to land at H-hour plus two minutes, and service troops at H-hour plus thirty minutes, and even for press censors to land at H-hour plus seventy-five minutes. But in the attack on this special portion of the beach where I am – the worst we had, incidentally – the schedule didn’t hold.

Our men simply could not get past the beach. They were pinned down right on the water’s edge by an inhuman wall of fire from the bluff. Our first waves were on that beach for hours, instead of a few minutes, before they could begin working inland.

You can still see the foxholes they dug at the very edge of the water, in the sand and the small, jumbled rocks that form parts of the beach.

Medical corpsmen attended the wounded as best they could. Men were killed as they stepped out of landing craft.

An officer whom I knew got a bullet through the head just as the door of his

landing craft was let down. Some men were drowned.

The first crack in the beach defenses was finally accomplished by terrific and wonderful naval gunfire, which knocked out the big emplacements. They tell epic stories of destroyers that ran right up into shallow water and had it out pointblank with the big guns in those concrete emplacements ashore.

When the heavy fire stopped, our men were organized by their officers and pushed on inland, circling machine-gun nests and taking them from the rear.

As one officer said, the only way to take a beach is to face it and keep going. It is costly at first, but it’s the only way. If the men are pinned down on the beach, dug in and out of action, they might as well not be there at all. They hold up the waves behind them, and nothing is being gained.

Our men were pinned down for a while, but finally they stood up and went through, and so we took that beach and accomplished our landing. We did it with every advantage on the enemy’s side and every disadvantage on ours. In the light of a couple of days of retrospection, we sit and talk and call it a miracle that our men ever got on at all or were able to stay on.

Before long it will be permitted to name the units that did it. Then you will know to whom this glory should go. They suffered casualties. And yet if you take the entire beachhead assault, including other units that had a much easier time, our total casualties in driving this wedge into the continent of Europe were remarkably low – only a fraction, in fact, of what our commanders had been prepared to accept.

And these units that were so battered and went through such hell are still, right at this moment, pushing on inland without rest, their spirits high, their egotism in victory almost reaching the smart-alecky stage.

Their tails are up. “We’ve done it again,” they say. They figure that the rest of the army isn’t needed at all. Which proves that, while their judgment in this regard is bad, they certainly have the spirit that wins battles and eventually wars.

quotes of life from the millennial generation

By Mayah Hawthorne

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.”

– William W. Purkey There’s only one thing this quote could mean: Live your life to the fullest. Live your life like everyday is your last! You can’t hinder your life by being scared or because your heart is broken. Move on. Life is too short to stay back in the past or hold your life up over something that may seem huge at the time but is little in reality.

Mayah Hawthorne is a sophomore at Battery Creek High School.

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

Class of 2014 earns record $27 million in scholarships The Beaufort County School District’s Class of 2014 has earned a record $27 million in college scholarships, and its members have acceptance letters in hand from more than 100 colleges and universities across the nation.

This year’s record scholarship total represents a $5 million increase over last year’s $22 million and a dramatic improvement from $11.7 million just five years ago.

“The kind of improvement is encouraging, and it says a lot about the commitment of our students, parents and educators,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “It demonstrates that they understand the value of additional education after high school, and also that they’re willing to work hard to get that education and have successful careers.”

More than 1,145 seniors are donning caps and gowns to receive their diplomas during this year’s graduation ceremonies at five high schools across the district.

Board of Education Chairman Bill Evans called high school graduation “a milestone in a young person’s life that’s celebrated by many people.”

“It’s a major accomplishment for the student, certainly, but it’s also a major accomplishment for the family members and educators who

helped them and worked with them,” Evans said. “We wish our graduates all the best, whether they’re heading to college or entering the military or beginning their careers.”

The district’s graduation ceremonies are held in each school’s football stadiums unless weather moves them into the school buildings: • Bluffton High: 310 graduates and $6,572,301 in scholarships. The class valedictorian is Foster Richie, and the class salutatorian is Stephanie Ortega.

• Battery Creek High: 147 graduates and $2,234,540 in scholarships. The class valedictorian is Erik Barbosa, and the salutatorian is Wendell Roberson.

• Beaufort High: 312 graduates and $7,926,102 in scholarships. The class valedictorian is James Rider, and the salutatorian is Olivia Durbin.

• Whale Branch Early College High School: 101 graduates and $2,880,655 in scholarships.

The class valedictorian is Michelle Gee, and the co-salutatorians are Madison Auten and Raina Bryan.

• Hilton Head Island High: 275 graduates and $7,465,451 in scholarships. The class valedictorian is Hannah Brink, and the salutatorian is Brian Stuligross.

Ladies First Mentoring Program has end-of-year dinner on Dataw The Ladies First Mentoring Program for Young Women at Beaufort High School is a personal and educational development program to empower young women to aspire toward higher education through the creation of selfawareness and positive selfesteem building activities.

Seminars have been presented on various topics such as self-image, respect, time management, leadership, health, study skills and goal setting, social media responsibility, bullying, etiquette, and future aspirations. Teachers and staff members serve as mentors for the girls, exposing them to

experiences that will help them reach their goals.

On Thursday, May 22, Ladies First mentors and mentees had their end-of-the year dinner on Dataw Island, where the girls used skills they learned in their etiquette class. They were required to dress in black or white.

They participated in a “Mix and Mingle,” had a delicious dinner, and listened to a keynote address

by BHS counselor Aswan Holmes. Residents of Dataw Island sponsored the dinner by making donations of over $1,000.

The evening was organized by Tarsha Smith, Susan Mitchell, Margie Simmons, and Shelia Cato.

only more cost-efficient and requires less capital, it is just as effective at capturing vital evidence.

According to the students, they chose this project because there were many break-ins in the community and they wanted to solve this problem. “In our neighborhoods, people were stealing bikes, balls, and scooters. People were breaking into houses and cars. We wanted to stop this,” the teens said.

So they researched Smartwater, CSI, technology and thought how they could use it on doors. This is where they got their idea. The students used invisible ink for the project, since Smartwater needed a high ultraviolet instrumentation to read the results. Then they presented the information to Beaufort City Police Officers Andy Brub, Sean Alford and Stephanie Karafa.

End of year events at BA Beaufort Academy’s 2014 Senior Tea, hosted by the Junior Class, was held at the home of the Guest Family. This year marked the 46th year of the Senior Tea. The tradition was initiated in 1969 when the BA Board of Directors’ wives hosted a tea for the women of the first graduating class.

The special tea was their way of honoring these young women by sharing with them the southern tradition of gracious entertaining.

Making the world a better place, one child at a time

N

By Lanier Laney

athan Harris, 84, could have lived a life of leisure. Born into a wealthy English family, he did not have to work after he graduated from college. He spent his time fox hunting three days a week, hunting, shooting, and riding the steeplechase the other days.

But he felt there must be more to life, some contribution he could make. His father had served his community as Lord Mayor of Leicester England. Nathan remembers WWII vividly when, as a child, he watched his father constantly work to get refugees and Jews out of France before and after the Nazis took over. He also remembered a vacation at the seashore where he watched the legendary flotilla of small boats manned by local citizens rescue more than 30,000 British troops from across the English channel the night that France fell to the Germans and the Nazis were rushing to annihilate the trapped troops.

He saw that one person’s efforts could make a big difference in peoples’ lives and he wanted to do that also.

His first chance came when he was elected to Leicester County Council.

He started looking for ways he could help improve the quality of life of local families. A deeply spiritual man, he also chaired the Parish Council. He felt education was a way to open horizons for many of the poor, working class children there. He became involved with the Leicester Education Authority (which was the largest education authority in England at the time) and later became its head. Over the years, it became a model as one of the most progressive Nathan Harris, 84, is often seen in one of his dapper outfits riding his bike around town. and successful education authorities in England and received many awards.

While there, Nathan also organized appeared on television as a popular But before that, when Margaret students and teachers to create the most pundit.

Thatcher was elected Prime Minister, successful youth orchestra in Britain.

Before she became Prime Minister, Nathan decided it was time to leave After seeing what enrichment music Margaret Thatcher was appointed England. Says Nathan “I didn’t want to brought to the students’ lives, Nathan Minister of Education for England. In see my life’s work destroyed. There was wanted to expand their experience of the that capacity she began to butt heads nothing I could do to stop it.” visual arts as well, since many were too with Nathan, who was chairman of the Nathan’s marriage of 27 years — poor to travel to the great museums of Leicester Education Authority and East which resulted in “four wonderful London.

His wife, Ally, soon followed and became the office manager at Fripp Island Real Estate company. They lived together in Beaufort for eight years.

Unfortunately, Ally became sick and passed away after a long illness. Nathan had to mortgage the house to pay all the hospital bills, which he did, and had enough left over to barely buy the historic Joseph Patterson House on the corner of Duke and Newcastle street in the Northwest Quadrant in downtown Beaufort. Although it was a “falling down wreck,” he and a carpenter friend persevered, and over the years, saved it and restored it to its present day beauty.

Nathan has been involved with AMIkids Beaufort (formerly known as the Beaufort Marine Institute) since its early days for the past 23 years.

Says Nathan, “I think it is the best program for young people in trouble with the law in the world. Nearly 80 percent non-recidivism, and it’s usually the other way around. The Department of Juvenile Justice recommends kids they think will benefit from the program. It’s phenomenally successful.”

At the recent AMIkids Croquet Fundraiser at Brays Island, Nathan, as one of the “master of ceremonies,” stayed on the mic with his soft-cultured English accent for nearly four hours, talking to the crowd about the organization and imploring them to contribute. As a result, he raised nearly $45,000 of the record $95,000 raised this year.

AMIkids has literally helped hundreds and hundreds of young men get back on track with their lives over the 20 years Nathan has been working with them.

Nathan has also enjoyed being the eucharistic minister at St. Helena’s Episcopal Church for over 20 years.

He’s been friends with Rev. Alexander McBride, the minister of the First African Baptist Church on The Point, for years and finds his sermons “very inspirational” and the people in the congregation “lovely.”

About Beaufort, Nathan says, “It’s a very interesting mixture of many sorts of people that I find interesting. The epitome of American small town charm.”

Nathan met the third love of his life, Carol Washington, and they were married three years ago when he was 81. You can often see Nathan in one of his dapper outfits, biking around town. He says it helps him stay well and fit.

“Life in Beaufort has been pretty good and I hope it goes on for another 84 years,” he said.

Nathan Harris has demonstrated that one person, no matter what age, can make a difference in children’s lives, and we thank him for that.

YMCA Youth Boating Program starts June 16

The Beaufort YMCA in conjunction with Spirit of America provides unique boating opportunities available to youth.

The Spirit of America Program focuses on STEM-based (science, technology, engineering, math) practices, education, safe boating environmental awareness, leadership development and physical fitness. This program actively targets youth participants and has set a goal this year of putting at least 50 percent of the participants through the programs on scholarship.

Holy Yoga bends, twists and prays itself into Beaufort Beginning this month, yoga practitioners in Beaufort County will have a whole new style of yoga to practice, play and pray with. Holy Yoga, a Christian faith-based practice of yoga, will be led by Beaufortonian and Registered Holy Yoga Instructor (R-HYI) Carrie Carper. Holy Yoga offers scriptural meditation, breath work and movement that combines Hatha-style yoga with experiential worship and wellness. In

addition to helping develop the strength, flexibility and balance that comes with many yoga practices, Holy Yoga aims to unite Carrie Carper the believer with the timeless practice of yoga and provide the non-believer a look at the Christian faith in an entirely new light.

LOWCOUNTRY BUILDING BLOCKS, INC. PRESENTS

Hobbit Hill Preschools

Carper found yoga after years of dancing, where, for her, the connection of the body, mind and Spirit was always prominent. Initially considering yoga for solely its physical benefits, she quickly learned through Beaufort County area teachers like Marty Crocker, Carol Morrissey, Kim Nichols-Cech and Dragana Pavio-Zappia that it was so much more, a continuation of the dance, so-to-speak. Yoga is prayer, a way of life,

a never ending journey, and a constant state of learning.

Holy Yoga can be found at One Yoga Sanctuary, at 73 Sea Island Pkwy. in Beaufort and at the YMCA of Beaufort County, located at 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal. For information on class times and locations, or to bring Holy Yoga to your home or place of worship, contact Carper at 843-812-9422 or carriecarper@holyyoga.net.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘in bloom’

The Indie Film “In Bloom” will be shown at USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret St., on Monday, June 9 at 7 p.m.

Directed by Nana Ekvtimshvili and Simon Gross, this Georgian film with English subtitles is set in the early ‘90s, in Tbilisi, the capital of the newly independent Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The country is facing violence, war on the Black Sea coast (Abkhazia)

and vigilante justice that plagues society. But for Eka and Natia, 14-year-old inseparable friends, life just unfolds — in the street, at school, with friends or Eka’s elder sister.

Although they are already dealing with men’s dominance, early marriage and disillusioned love, for these two girls in bloom, life just goes on.

“The excellent new drama ‘In Bloom,’ Georgia’s Oscar entry in the foreign-language category, has the

heartbreak and hope of a country slipped inside a coming-of age-story of two 14-year-old girls,” wrote Betsy Sharkey of The Los Angeles Times.

Tickets are adults $7, seniors $6, and students $7.

Contact 843-521-4145 or email Bonnie Hargrove at bhargrov@uscb.edu, or visit them online at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com. The box office opens an hour prior to the show.

Thibault Gallery features work of artist Alan Metzger The Thibault Gallery, located at 815 Bay Street in downtown Beaufort, will feature the work of artist Alan Metzger during the month of June, according to gallery owner Mary Thibault.

Alan attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh a year after high school and after completing activity duty in the Marine Corp Reserve. He had several jobs in graphic design and advertising, and won various awards here and there. He was a business owner and worked in retail, and spent the past 15 years in advertising sales.

“After years of procrastination of dreaming of doing my art full time, I had this epiphany to quit my secure full time job, and finally use my God given artistic talent,” Alan said.

Last August, a friend emailed an entry form for a first commemorative poster

contest for the International Polo Club in Palm Beach, Fla. “My response was that I had never been to a polo match and didn’t know anything about polo, plus you don’t realize how many good artists there are out there,” recalls Alan.

After more encouragement, he gave in and whipped out a very loose impressionistic painting of a ground level view of the pony’s hooves striking the ground. He emailed it to his friend, who quickly said that’s a winner, then he submitted it and forgot about it.

But he did win. “I had my daughterin-law read it to be sure I read the email right, and then got a call from the ad agency confirming I had indeed won.”

In January, at the media launch, he autographed posters and was guest of honor for the polo match. “All the artist

entries were auctioned off for a charity at the Polo Club and the president was the high bidder on my painting that now hangs in his office. Who would have thought? It gave me instant recognition in that elite community after only being a full time artist for just over a year,” Alan said.

“I continue to strive to be more of an impressionist, working in acrylics on canvas. Since winning the Polo Award, I have painted more equestrian paintings, but try other subjects such as tropical, birds, ocean scenes and, of course, the Lowcountry and historic Charleston. I feel really blessed and humbled to have my art accepted in such a short amount of time.”

Beaufort History Museum presents retrospective exhibit Event honors Fine Arts Committee, will be final show before museum moves to new home The Beaufort History Museum is looking to its fabled past to create a retrospective art event even as it looks to the future, anticipating with excitement a move back home to the historic Arsenal next month. To commemorate a time during the l960’s that saw the art collection develop and grow, the museum board of directors will honor members of the Fine Arts Committee with an exhibit showcasing pieces in the museum’s own collection as well as the work of local artists and works with a local influence. The exhibit will be presented from June 9 - 24 at the museum, which is currently located at Beaufort City Hall.

Anna Schaffer, Beaufort History Museum board president, announced the exhibit. “We are extremely excited by this opportunity to host an event to honor The Fine Arts Committee, which was so instrumental in procuring pieces of art for the museum’s permanent collection”, she said. “This is especially important since it is the final exhibit at the museum’s current location before we move to our new space at The Arsenal in Beaufort’s historic district.”

Many recognized leaders in the community served on the Fine Arts Committee and remained a strong

support group with active volunteers through the 1970’s. They actively sought local artists, as well as artists from throughout the country, to donate to the collection. Many of the pieces in the current collection are the results of their efforts. More than 50 pieces of art are now being stored in the museum.

Schaffer said that the museum will display local art and art with a local influence for a period of 12 business days at the City Hall location prior to the museum’s move. A cocktail party will

be held onsite for families and the art community on the opening day of the exhibit. Visitors from the community will be welcome at the museum during the week of the art show during regular museum hours.

The board will also host a mid-week social for the Young Friends of the Museum at Wined it Up, the Bay Street wine bar. Select pieces of art will be displayed.

The Beaufort History Museum was originally chartered in 1939. It has evolved

to focus specifically on the deep and rich history of the Beaufort District.

It strives to manage and display artifacts and documents held by the City of Beaufort, telling the compelling stories of this area from the early 16th Century until modern times. Through community engagement, children’s programs, educational opportunities and social events, the museum provides many services to visitors and local residents.

The Beaufort History Museum is currently located at 1911 Boundary Street on the first floor of the Beaufort City Hall.

It will be relocating to the Arsenal, 713 Craven Street, after July 14, 2014.

Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with docents on duty to provide information and conduct tours. A donation of $3 per visitor is requested. Children are admitted free of charge. The organization maintains a website at www.beauforthistorymuseum.org.

Food truck continued from page 1

A notable example of this is Crave Cupcake Boutique which operates out of a storefront on Boundary Street and where it also parks a brightly colored food truck which they use for catering and events.

Food trucks and carts serving everything from crepes to curry can also be spotted at local farmers markets.

Some local entrepreneurs have even gotten their businesses by first “testing the waters” with a mobile business. That

is what Tony Herndon of Joe Loves Lobster Rolls did by rolling out a food cart in Savannah. The business was so popular at local farmers markets and festivals that he was selling out. This prompted him to open the first Joe Loves Lobster Rolls restaurant in Okatie.

There are two local events coming up in Beaufort this summer that aim to showcase food trucks. The first is the Beaufort Food Truck Festival, a fundraiser for the non-profit Arts Council of Beaufort County, which is being held on Saturday, June 21 at the Beaufort Town Center Shopping Plaza.

The second event is The 2014 Tomato Festival on July 12 at Cane Island.

‘Drink Regaleali and elevate your evening’

By Celia Strong

“Regaleali scende. La serata sale” is an Italian “slogan” that is related to our wine for this week. What does it mean? Well, first we have to learn about the three “w’s” — where this wine is from, what kind of varieties of grapes are involved, and, of course, the winery that produces it. The winery is actually a new one that we have never discussed in this column.

Then, after all this, the meaning of the slogan will be revealed.

This week begins with a trip to Sicily — an island located just off the toe of the “Italian boot,” and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. There is archeological evidence that humans lived on Sicily as early as 8,000 BC. Around 750 BC, there were Phoenician and Greek colonies there, and then the Romans.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, in the 5th century AD, Sicily was ruled by numerous invaders. It became part of Italy, finally, in 1860.

And, after the unification of Italy and the establishment of the Italian Republic, in 1946, Sicily was given special status as an autonomous region. Sicily has a unique and complex culture when it comes to art, music, literature, architecture, and especially food and wine. Each group that ruled or controlled the island left pieces and parts behind to help form the interesting place that Sicily would become today.

There are so many and such a variety of wines and foods produced in Sicily, the island has been nicknamed “God’s Kitchen.” The ingredients of Sicilian food are rich in taste but, as they claim with pride, affordable to the masses.

Their meals are healthy because they use fresh vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, artichokes, olives and olive oil, citrus, apricots, eggplants, onions, beans and raisins. They also cook with the fresh seafood from their shores — tuna, sea bream, sea bass, cuttlefish, swordfish, sardines and more. Arancini, the breaded and fried rice balls with cheese inside, originated in Sicily. Pasta is also important there, as in the rest of southern Italy. Goose, lamb, goat, rabbit and turkey are all eaten here, too. And cheeses, like Pecorino. Rich desserts are

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

The winery of the week is the Tasca d’Almerita, a family of estate wines.

The Regaleali Estate has been owned by the family since 1837 and is located in the heart of the mountainous part of the Italian island of Sicily. also part of Sicily’s cuisine. Ice cream, first mentioned there in 1154, and pastries, like cannolis, are everywhere.

Pinenut cookies, almond cookies, sesame seed and almond candies, fig cookies, doughnuts and more are also popular dessert items.

Wine grapes were supposedly first planted in Sicily by Dionysus, the Roman god of wine. And, wines from Sicily were said to be Julius Caesar’s favorite. Grape growing and winemaking in Sicily followed the same basic course as it did around the Mediterranean: Strong and important in everyday life with the Romans; much less so with the Muslim conquerors who followed; important again during the 13th to 18th centuries; devastated by phylloxera; and back again now.

In 1773, an English merchant, John Woodhouse, saw the success that Port and Madeira grapes were having and developed in Sicily a perpetuum system to make Marsala wine. This system, similar to the solera system used to make Sherry, made it possible to mix multiple vintages and, hence, make better Marsalas.

The grape varieties grown in Sicily are also a mixture — some indigenous and some brought onto the island from the

“What goes around comes around”

The Regaleali Rosso, left, and the Regaleali Bianco are made in Sicily, Italy.

rest of Europe. Nero d’Avola is the most prominent red grape, and the whites, Cattaratto and Grecanico, are Sicilian natives. These all play a part in making Marsala as well. Since our wines this week are made from these varieties, we are ready for the “what” part of our lesson. (Yes, we do have two wines.)

Cattaratto is an Italian white variety grown almost exclusively in Sicily. It makes full-bodied wines with noticeable lemon flavors. DNA tests show there are three clones of Cattaratto, all closely related to a better known white variety, Garganega, which is used to make Soave in Umbria, Italy. One of these two grapes could be a parent to the other.

But, unfortunately, there is no more information.

The name “Grecanico” has also been used, in southern Italy and Sicily, for Cattaratto. But, as Grecanico, the name and origins of this grape can be traced back to the Greeks, who did sail to and live on Sicily. “Greco” is a family of Greek grapes. These wines are mildly acidic.

Nero d’Avola is a dark grape and the most important red variety in Sicily.

Wines from this variety are compared to Australian Shirazes. Sweet tannins and plum and peppery flavors show in these wines. This grape likes hot, dry climates and grows best in the southern, hotter

part of the island. Its name means “black from the town of Avola,” located on the southeast coast of Sicily. Nero d’Avola mixes well with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

Tasca d’Almerita is a family of estate wines. Ours, this week, come from the Regaleali Estate, which has been owned by the family since 1837. It is a huge estate located in the heart of the mountainous part of Sicily. In addition to world famous wines, there is also a well-known cooking school at the winery.

The Tasca d’Almerita family uses both traditional (meaning old) and modern techniques in their wine production — whichever is best for each particular wine.

The Regaleali Bianco is a blend of 33 percent Grecanico; 23 percent Cattarratto (they may or may not be related genetically, but tradition calls for both to be used); 22 percent Inzolia (another Sicilian variety); and 12 percent Chardonnay. This white wine is fermented cold in stainless steel tanks.

It has aromas of green apples, peaches, grapefruits and pears. It is crisp and rich and easy to drink — especially on hot summer days. It pairs well with seafood, shellfish, scallops, Asian cuisine and more.

The Regaleali Rosso is made from 100 percent Nero d’Avola. It, too, is fermented in stainless steel tanks, followed by half being aged in stainless steel and half in Slovenian oak barrels. It is a bright red color with layers of cherry, mulberry and raspberry flavors. It is silky smooth in your mouth. And, food-wise, it goes with meat sauces, tomato sauces, sausages, pizzas and roasted meats. Sounds to me like these two Tasca d’Almerita wines may be just about perfect for all our summer drinking.

But what about “Regaleali scende. La serata sale,” the slogan for our new wines?

Literally translated we get “Regaleali goes down, the evening goes up.” With a bit of finesse, it means “Drink Regaleali and elevate your evening.” Sure, it sounds better in Italian. But, I’ll bet pizza tastes better in Italy; you get the idea.

Drink Regaleali! Red and white. For $11.99. Enjoy.

There’s an old saying that, “What goes around comes around.”

Of all the places that you could spend your money, a locally owned business is the one that’s most likely to return the favor by doing business with you. Everyone benefits when you shop and invest with Hometown people.

Captain Albert A. Schaufelberger Jr., 87, was born March 24, 1927, in Detroit, Mich., to Albert A. and Lillian Kristine (née Larsen) Schaufelberger. He died on May 16, 2014, at his residence on Fripp Island, SC. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, where he had been an AllAmerican Soccer player, in June 1949 and thereafter married Virginia Capt. Albert Long Robinson of Schaufelberger Grosse Pointe, Mich.

“Shoes” became a Naval Aviator in 1951, and in 1952 had just launched from the USS Wasp when it collided with the USS Hornet.

Told simply “to conserve fuel,” he flew for hours wondering if they were going to be able to land back on board or have to ditch in the ocean in darkness. His was the first plane to land back on the Wasp because he had two observers on board, observers whose flight deck celebrations were cut short by Shoes ordering them below, pointing out that eight other planes, all critically low on fuel, needed to land now.

His career with the United States Navy consisted of several assignments at the controls of combat aircraft. Al completed three combat tours during the Vietnam War. His skill, courage and leadership were recognized with a number of awards including a Bronze Star and Legion of Merit citing “Heroic service in connection with operations against the enemy while attached to and commanding Attack Squadron VA-146, embarked in USS RANGER (CVA61) From February to August 1966.

Under the leadership of Commander Schaufelberger, his squadron led all others embarked in numbers of combat missions and combat hours flown. During this period his extensive knowledge was repeatedly called upon in the planning, weaponeering and selection of tactics for a wide variety of targets. The best measurement of his judgment and outstanding leadership is that in well over 2,600 combat sorties flown under his command, not one pilot was lost, and only one aircraft was lost to enemy action. He personally led over 170 combat missions, more than any other pilot embarked.”

In 1975, Al and Virginia retired to Fripp Island, a place like no other. Al served as a member of the Fripp Island Volunteer Fire Department for 18 years and was active in both the Fripp Island Public Service District and the Fripp Island Marine Rescue.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Virginia; his daughters Margaret (Pat Conniff ) and Kristine (Dennis Adams); his son Thomas ( Joanne Kyros); and his six treasured grandchildren, Lisa, Laura, Craig, Katherine, Nicholas, and Lindsey. He is predeceased by his son, Cmdr. Albert A Schaufelberger III, a U.S. Navy Seal.

He will be remembered for his intelligence, quick humor, courage, loyalty and love of his family and the sea.

A memorial service was held on Friday, May 30 at 3 p.m. at the All Faiths Chapel, 205 Tarpon Boulevard, Fripp Island, SC followed immediately by a reception.

William Walsh, Jr.

The family received friends on Sunday, May 18, 2014 from 2-4 p.m. at Anderson Funeral Home.

Funeral services were held on Monday, May 19, 2014 at 11 a.m. in The Baptist Church of Beaufort with interment in the churchyard.

Mr. Walsh was born on August 17, 1925, in Beaufort, SC. He is the son of the late William D. Walsh, Sr., and Verna Polk Walsh.

He was a member of The Baptist Church of Beaufort. He was a farmer on Perry Clear Farm, which was started by his father, and served our country in the U.S. Army during WWII. Surviving in addition to his wife, Betsy of Beaufort, SC, are two daughters, Linda Walsh Karr and Debora Walsh Pinckney, both of Beaufort, SC; two grandchildren, Pamela Karr Cole (PJ) and Jacob Cotesworth Pinckney and one great-granddaughter, Paige Ryan Cole; one stepson, Frederick A. Jumper of Mt. Pleasant, SC, and one stepdaughter, Elizabeth Jumper of Hilton Head, SC. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Vivian Potts Walsh.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort, P.O. Box 1514, Beaufort, SC, 29901, or American Cancer Society, 11 Mallett Way, Suite 301, Bluffton, SC, 29910.

Is healthfulness the new truthiness?

By Tracie Korol

The concept of better health through nutrition is beginning to make inroads in the minds of the American population according to The Hartman Group Inc.’s report, “Ideas in Food 2013-A Cultural Perspective.” Gluten-free has recently become a mainstream idea and product sell, though most folks who are “going gluten free” can’t tell you why, exactly.

They just don’t eat bread. But that trend has led folks to investigate the benefits of whole grains, nuts and seeds. People are voluntarily eating nut meal, coconut “flour” and raw, sprouted, popped and puffed grains. All good.

Sugar, too, is getting it’s own red flag with high fructose corn syrup bearing the brunt of the scrutiny. Added sugar, according to Hartman, is being linked to systemic inflammation, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and a whole host of other medical ailments. Other health/ nutrition connections in human food trends, according to Hartman’s report, include eating more plant-based foods, supporting locally sourced foods and using foods as medicine (whole grains, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, botanicals). The same report tells how consumers are leaning toward “healthfulness,” whatever that means.

Let’s assume that the analysts using that particular label make a very literal interpretation — “healthfulness” equals full of health. That would be to our benefit. By extension, since pet-owning

The catch in all this is that the pet food industry is onto this trend and not necessarily in a good way. Companies are coming out with grain-free dog food and treats, products that boast no added sugars (or dyes or artificial preservatives), and products rich in nutrition additives like omega-3s. In addition, the market for senior dog and weight management products has skyrocketed. There are new products with new claims for healthfulness coming out every week.

The idea of truthiness begins to creep in.

thing and does our dog need the next best thing?

As the fluidity of human food trends and pet food trends increases, it brings up unique concerns for the pet owner/ consumer. You may have noticed, pets are different from people and their nutritional needs are different, too. Some human trends such as gluten-free can be unnecessary or even dangerous when cross-applied. Trends that actually serve our animals in the pet food and

treat category are grain-free, species appropriate, whole, less processed, healthy, safe, and USA sourced. A trend that does not serve, for instance, is a claim of “natural”. Hemlock is natural but I don’t want my dog eating it.

As a consumer, I am one of those crashing bores who clog up the grocery aisle when reading the labels of whatever I want to purchase. It’s important to me to know what I’m eating. And even more important, I want to know what my dog friends are eating. Even though I haven’t bought a processed kibble in years, for fun, I’ll flip the bags of “new and improved” to if it IS really new and improved. And guess what? Usually it’s not. Mostly, the manufacturers have changed what’s printed on the bag.

When you feed your Best Friend food that you recognize and you’d eat, then “truthiness” of the seller and “healthfulness” of the manufacturer will become apparent. By doing your homework, learning what ALL the words on the pet food bag mean, and by researching quality products, you’ll skip truthiness and help assure a better quality of life for the Best Friend in your house.
