School superintendent selected The Beaufort County Board of Education selected veteran North Carolina superintendent Jeffrey Moss to lead the district, subject to the two parties agreeing on a contract. Moss, currently superintendent of the 9,850-student Lee County Schools in Sanford, N.C., was selected over Gloria J. Davis, superintendent of the 9,100-student Decatur Public Schools
in Decatur, Illinois. “This was a very difficult decision for the Board because we had to choose between two excellent candidates,” said Board Chairman Bill Evans. “Dr. Moss ultimately was our choice because of his strong commitment to technology and the history of academic improvements in the districts he has led. We repeatedly heard about his ability to get the most
out of people and his ability to put the right staff in the right place to make the biggest difference in the lives of kids.” Evans also cited as positives Moss’ expertise in financial matters, his commitment to alternative education and his support for public school choice.

Residents’ response to apartment kitchen fire ‘recipe for saving lives’ The first kitchen fire reported in Beaufort or Port Royal this year ended on a high note as the apartment resident and a neighbor did everything right to escape and put out the fire, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said. Around 6 p.m. last Wednesday, a woman in her Southside Boulevard apartment apparently forgot about oil in a pan on her hot stove, Negron said. As the oil began smoking, though, the apartment’s smoke detector went off, allowing the woman to pick up an infant and leave the apartment. As she and the child escaped, she dialed 911. A downstairs resident, hearing the smoke alarm, brought a fire extinguisher to the woman’s apartment and doused the small stove fire. “In 2012, more than 50 percent of all fires in Beaufort and Port Royal
originated in the kitchen,” Negron said. “The distracted chef is the root cause of most of the kitchen fires in our communities. Fortunately, the apartment’s smoke alarms sounded very quickly. Early detection and warning by smoke alarms is a family’s best defense against a fire fatality.” The apartment complex doesn’t have a fire-suppressing sprinkler system, but the combination of the smoke detector, the woman’s quick reaction to leave her apartment and her neighbor’s response with a fire extinguisher helped prevent disaster, Negron said. “In this small fire, the combination of early detection, notification to 911, escape from the dwelling and then putting out the fire was the recipe for saving lives,” he said. Key points to remember in case fire threatens inside your home:
• Pay attention when cooking and don’t leave the stove or oven unattended • Be sure all smoke detectors are working properly, including regular checks of the batteries • Keep and maintain a charged fire extinguisher near the kitchen • In the event of a fire, get yourself and your family out of the building quickly • Close doors behind you as you exit — this will keep the fire from spreading as quickly • Notify emergency services as quickly as possible. For more information about the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department, contact the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department at 843-525-7055 or cityfire@cityofbeaufort.org or find them on Facebook as City of Beaufort Fire Department.

news briefs Three sentenced in Burton home invasion
A 40-year-old Seabrook man was sentenced to 23 years in prison on Wednesday, February 27 for his role in a violent June 2011 home invasion that resulted in a 70-year-old Burton man being severely beaten. At the conclusion of a two-day trial, jurors convicted Donald Peters of firstdegree burglary, armed robbery and assault and battery. On June 29, 2011, neighbors heard dogs barking and found a 70-yearold man who was bloody and dazed staggering through the yard. Earlier in the evening, the man had invited two prostitutes into his house, one of whom unlocked the door. After they left, two men broke into the home and beat the man in the head with a police baton before stealing about $3,000. Detectives tracked down the women and uncovered a plot between 24-yearold Lauren Baughman and her two friends, 29-year-old Kurtis Edwards, and Peters, to rob the man after he fell asleep.

this Is someone poking your Zen Bubble? Live Well ... Have Fun month, By Martha O’Regan be aware of amd Ophthalmologists have designated March as agerelated macular degeneration awareness month. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of severe vision loss among Americans ages 65 and over. Knowing your risk factors, being aware of your family history, and keeping regular appointments with your eye doctor can help reduce your risks for vision loss from macular degeneration. In its most severe form, known as wet AMD, the disease can lead to permanent loss of central vision, which is essential for driving, reading and recognizing faces. March is AMD Awareness Month, and Sea Island Ophthalmology encourages everyone to know their risks for AMD. The past few years have been marked by significant improvement in understanding the causes and the treatment of AMD. New research and clinical advances are helping us to better treat both the “dry” and “wet” forms of AMD. One strong risk factor that people may not be aware of is family history. It’s important to find out whether your relatives have had AMD and to tell your eye doctor if you have a history of AMD in your family. Knowing your risks can save your sight. Here are the top 5 risk factors for AMD: • Being over the age of 60 • Having a family history of Agerelated Macular Degeneration • Cigarette smoking • Obesity • Hypertension If you have any two of these risk factors, you should schedule an appointment with your eye doctor for a complete dilated eye examination. Your eye doctor may recommend certain preventive measures that can reduce your risk of vision loss from this disorder. People who are at risk should know the symptoms of wet AMD, the form most likely to cause rapid and serious vision loss. These include sudden, noticeable loss or distortion of vision, such as seeing “wavy” lines. See an eye doctor right away if these symptoms occur. Current treatments for wet AMD provide an excellent chance of stopping vision loss and may actually restore some vision when macular degeneration develops. Earlier diagnosis of wet AMD gives a better chance of successful treatment.

Is someone poking your Zen Bubble? If so, give yourself permission to simply declare that your Zen Bubble is yours and others are not allowed to poke on it, squeeze it, stomp on it or push it into a corner — it is yours to protect at all costs. Inside that Zen Bubble is the home to your mind, body and spirit which are designed to work together harmoniously as long as there are no interferences from within or from outside influences. The Zen Bubble is the energy field or aura that surrounds each one of us both individually and collectively when connected as a family, a team, a class, or as united spectators at a concert or sporting event. It tends to extend farther in front and above us and is always changing based on our personal thoughts and emotions, as well as those around us. It can’t be seen by most, but it is measurable and able to be photographed with special Kirlian Photography. Our physical health and well being is often a reflection of what is happening in the field around us. When we are surrounded with love and support, our field can be intertwined with the cohesive positive energy of love and we feel good. Conversely, when in the presence of discontent and upset, the field gets compressed, giving us feelings of anxiety, agitation, tension or “nervous stomach.” The auric field is highly sensitive to
Therapeutic Solutions will become TheraVista, 263 Brickyard Point Rd South, 843-812-1328, email theravista@gmail.com, www. besttherapeuticsolutions.com
its surroundings. For example, have you ever been at a function where a stranger enters and for no obvious reason you are instantly drawn to that person? They have an attractive energy field that connects to yours and pulls you in. The opposite can be true when you enter a space where an argument has just occurred or for no apparent reason, you just get the weebie jeebies. Your field is immediately squeezed and repelling you from the perceived “danger” it senses. Other examples of your field sending a message to respond before your mind or body is even aware occur when you are walking in the woods and instinctively put your hand up to push away a branch that you sensed before you saw. Or when you have the music cranked up while busy on a project but are able to sense that someone walked in the room even though you didn’t hear them. In many of the classes I teach, I use a pair of wire hangers to demonstrate a person’s energy field first just being themselves, then thinking about something that
frustrates them and finally thinking about something that brings them joy. The field changes instantaneously, compressing for negative patterns and expanding for positive ones. When you begin to tune in, you can actually feel other people’s energy field by the signals in your own body. Do you feel open or tight around the heart/chest area? Are you able to speak with ease or suddenly get a frog in your throat? To show how others affect our field, again using the wire hangers, I have one person think of a goal and show the edges of the field. Then one group will stand with the individual and think “I support you.” Then the next group exchanges the space and are instructed to think about something that frustrated them that morning. The edges of the field will exponentially expand or contract depending on positive or negative support demonstrating how others can either bring us down, or lift us up depending on their field in that moment. So, next time someone is messing with your Zen Bubble, simply breathe deeply and, if possible, move on. If not, put on your “Love Shield” by just thinking the word “love” from your heart. You don’t have to send the person love, you are simply expanding your field in an effort to have the other person move on or shift their energy. Give it a try. Live Well ... Have Fun!

‘love, loss Jef, Tom, Craig, Kim and Greg and what stay on their toes at ARTworks i wore’
“Love, Loss, and What I Wore” is a comedy about women’s clothing as metaphors of their lives. From the unfortunate prom dress and the perfect wedding dress to the tyranny of the purse and shopping for a bra, the play, “Love, Loss and What I Wore,” is a scrapbook of vignettes about women, their relationships to their clothing, and the memories they trigger. Women have all had our most-and-least favorite outfits at different points in our lives, and sometimes even we don’t know why we “loved” one article of clothing and “hated” another, or why we remember one piece above all others — we just do. And so it is with the characters in this Beaufort Theatre production at USCB Center for the Arts on March 8, 9 and 10. Written by Nora and Delia Ephron and based on a book by the same name by Ilene Beckerman, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” are stories told in a series of comedic but sometimes touching monologues and short group pieces. Gail Westerfield directs innovative production In its original format, the play is presented as a staged reading with five stools, five music stands holding five scripts and five actors playing multiple roles. Under Gail Westerfield’s creative direction, the expanded cast does not read from scripts but rather, performs in a full-scale stage production. “A script as dynamic as this one just begged me to ‘put it on its feet,’” Gail explained, “and let the actors dance and throw clothes around and pop up where you might not expect them to.” Rich Mixture of ages and talent to match material The beauty of the material is that the play can be cast with women of any age in any of the parts due to the timelessness of the stories. To Gail, it is the enjoyment of watching the experienced and the newer actors interact and discover the depth of their talents. “If I do my job right, you won’t be able to tell the veterans from the newbies.”
Tom & Jef: New Mime Theater: In this onstage world of New Mime Theater, a man encounters an amoebic character; another character’s mirror image takes over his life; and a student tries his hand at cheating on a test with cataclysmic results. Exciting and fun for all, Tom & Jef ’s New Mime Theater challenges audiences and is a perfect experience for families — including audience members who might like to be involved onstage and as the source for ideas for improvisations. A free family workshop is right before the show, starting at 6:30 p.m. with the show Friday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. The Song Emerging: Craig Bickhardt in Concert: Saturday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m.: In a world where everything is disposable from ink pens to diapers to electronics, songwriter Craig Bickhardt makes certain his music stands the test of time. Bickhardt crafted “Tender Mercies,” and his songs have also found their way onto platinum and Grammy winning albums by legends such as Ray Charles, B. B. King, Martina McBride, The Judds, and Dianne Schuur. Bickhardt explains: “Fulfillment is all about taking the path that leads you on this journey truthfully, because that’s how we find whatever success we’re destined to find. All we can do is try to stay passionate, honest, and determined while overcoming the resistance. All we can do is get in the right place and wait for the right time to find us. What I need in order to begin a good song is some irritant, some experience or feeling that gets lodged inside of me until I can’t be rid of it any other way. We need great patience to write great songs. We must trust to the currents and wait for the event that places in us the seed of a genuine pearl.” For both shows, tickets are $17 per person, $12 for
Dala comes to Fripp Island As audiences have come to expect, Friends of Music will close its 29th season with a winner: Dala.

CODA to benefit Both Gail and her stage manager, Susan DeFoe, have been associated with Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) for many years. “Although CODA is not exclusive to women,” notes Susan,“we are deeply invested in a woman’s right to speak truthfully and openly, without shame, and this play gives voice to the things we think about only to ourselves and that is very liberating as well as very funny!” CODA will receive a $1 donation for every ticket sold during the play’s three-day run. CAPA will get a boost Also benefiting during the play’s run will be the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA). Theatre attendees are asked to bring one or more articles of gently worn women’s clothing to donate to the CAPA Closet Thrift Store. “The theme of the play was just too good a fit to not partner with them,” said Bonnie Hargrove, Executive Director for USCB Center for the Arts. “It will add another dimension of enjoyment for our attendees and, we hope, collect a lot of great clothing for the CAPA Closet.” Performances are on the USCB Campus at 801 Carteret St. on Friday and Saturday nights, March 8 and 9, at 7:30 p.m., and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 10. Reserve seats are $20; general admission for adults, $18; and seniors $15. Tickets in advance call 843-521-4145 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays.

What a day for an oyster roast! By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer
The St. Peter’s Oyster Roast and Microbrew Festival was held Saturday, March 2 at the Live Oaks Park in Port Royal. The cold weather didn’t deter a large crowd from attending, and many gathered by the large bonfire in the center of all the activity. Patrons enjoyed music by The Steppin’ Stones, a buffet of oysters and a tasting of more than 50 microbrews, beer and wine courtesy of Bill’s Liquors and Fine Wines. Both a live and a silent auction featured vacation packages, chartered fishing trips, hunting rifles, original artwork, wine tasting parties, catered dinners, rounds of golf and more. Children enjoyed a fun court with face painting, inflatable rides, games and other activities. The family friendly event raised money to benefit St. Peter’s Catholic School on Lady’s Island.

Red Raider Inv. C
Can the latest in cancer care be found right here in the Lowcountry?
When he learned he had prostate cancer, former Marine Bruce Reynolds was shaken. Having cancer was unsettling, but not knowing which treatment to choose made it worse. Then he went to the Duke-affiliated Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center. The team there had answers and crafted a plan that was right for Bruce: targeted radiation rather than drastic surgery. Even better? Everything he needed was a few miles from home.

District bus drivers, monitors approve contract School bus drivers and monitors working for Durham School Services, the Beaufort County School District’s transportation contractor, voted to approve a five-year contract. The vote concluded months of negotiations between Durham and the Teamsters, the union that represents the drivers as well as monitors who assist drivers in transporting special education students. The Durham employees had been working without a contract since
last summer. “This hasn’t been a short or easy road to travel, but it appears that Durham and its drivers and monitors have reached an agreement that will bring stability to their relationship,” said Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm. “For our parents, this agreement should ease their concerns about a sudden interruption in school bus service due to a strike.” Three South Carolina school districts — Beaufort,
Charleston and Dorchester District 2 in Summerville — have partially privatized bus transportation systems. All three contract with Durham to supervise bus routes, drivers and monitors. The Teamsters Union represents many drivers and monitors in those districts and negotiated with Durham on their behalf. Drivers and monitors in all three districts voted last month to authorize strikes if contract negotiations were unsuccessful.

Don’t get caught! By Celia Strong
We have an opportunity this week to not get caught like a deer in headlights when it comes to the price of our featured wine. After learning about the history of the grapes and the importance of the winery’s location, readers will realize the timeliness and meaning of this valuable opportunity. Our focus is on red wine from California, a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s been a while since we’ve discussed this kind of wine, especially one this good (or expensive). Cabernet is one of the most grown and best known wine grapes in the world. It is grown in every major wine producing country, in all kinds of climates and soils. Part of its popularity is due to the ease with which it can be grown; this grape has thick skins, its vines are hardy, it is resistant to rot and frost, and it is consistent in its flavors and textures. Also, at this point in our wine experience, it is an easy to pronounce name (especially when simplified to just “Cab”). The history and origins of Cabernet are interesting. There were assorted stories — or myths are more like it — about where Cab came from. It was, at some point, rumored to have ancient origins, like many other varieties, possibly even being the Biturica grape that the Romans used to make wine. But, in 1996, with DNA testing, it was determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is the offspring of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc — a chance crossing of two vines that occurred in the 17th century, probably in or near the Bordeaux region of France. Cabernet Sauvignon has similar aromas to both its parents — black currant and pencil box from the Cabernet Franc and grassiness from the Sauvignon Blanc. Because of its thick skin, Cabernet responds to the warmth of the climate where it grows. In California, with its abundance of sunshine, Cabernet is able to ripen completely and makes varietally typical wines, consistently, without having to blend it to hide flaws from less ripe grapes. Cabernet is also known for its affinity to oak barrel aging. In addition to letting some of the high quantity of tannins soften, barrel aging also adds vanilla and spice flavors to Cab wines, both complimentary to all its other flavors. In California, Cabernet Sauvignon has developed a characteristic style that is recognized around the world. Speaking of California Cab being recognized around the world, I hope you remember something about the Stag’s Leap District of Napa Valley, because that’s where we’re going this week. This district is about 2,700 acres in Napa Valley, located about 9 miles north of the city of Napa. This was the first AVA, declared in 1989, and is known for unique soil characteristics such as loam and clay and volcanic soil. The first winery was built in Stag’s Leap in 1869 and the first Cabernet vines were planted in 1961. In fact, they were planted on what later became this week’s winery.

Stag’s Leap District of Napa Valley in California supposedly got its name from a hunting party that was unable to catch a stag that leaped from hilltop to hilltop and got away. Cabernet wines from this district are known for being sturdy and delicate, and expensive. The district got its name, supposedly, from a hunting party that was unable to catch a stag that leaped from hilltop to hilltop and got away from them. Stag’s Leap, like so much of Napa, is known for its Cabs. From this district, Cabernet wines are known for being both sturdy and delicate, powerful but also delicate with finesse and grace, and, most definitely, expensive. All of which gets us to our winery — Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. This winery was established in 1970 by Warren Winiarski. Winiarski, from Chicago, became interested in wine in the 1960s, and moved his family to Napa Valley in 1968. Before starting his Stag’s Leap adventure, he worked at Souverain and Robert Mondavi. Then, he bought a 44-acre block for less than $200,000 (like any land in Napa would come at that low a price now!), planted Cabernet vines and made his first wine in the 1972 vintage. The second vintage, 1973, was produced at his estate (the first vintage had been made at rented facilities) and in commercial quantities. Bar none, one of the best wine stories ever is about this Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars wine. The 1973 Cab was sent to the 1976 Judgement of Paris wine tasting and won “best red wine,” winning over classified Bordeaux estates like Mouton Rothschild, Chateau Haut-Brion and others. This success put California wines, and Napa Valley Cabernets in particular, on par with French wines. (Also, at the 1973 Judgement, Chateau Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay, from Napa, was the best white wine. And the movie “Bottle Shock” let’s us enjoy that win any time we like!). In 1996, a similar
“You can always count on unexpected expenses.”
tasting was held at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History to mark the 20th anniversary of the Paris tasting, and bottles of both the winning 1973 California wines went into their permanent collection. Unfortunately, we can’t get our own bottles of the 1973 Stag’s Leap Cab, but we do have the current vintage, 2009. In the last several years, this wine has become known as Stag’s Leap Artemis Cabernet. Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, was often pictured with a stag, so the choice for her name on this wine seems pretty obvious. The label on the bottle still includes a regal-looking stag. This wine is made from grapes grown on the estate in the district as well as some sourced from other prime sites within Napa. These sites are chosen for the aromas and flavors and textures and structure they each bring to the finished wine. The 2010 Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon has layers and layers of aromas and flavors — the aromas start with dark cherry cola, red cherries, vanilla, cocoa powder, clove and sage, then the flavors develop milk chocolate, toasty oak, hints of wintergreen and more. The texture is smooth with what is called “fine-grain” tannins. Of course, we all assume this is a red meat wine, and it is, but it’s so good with tuna, roast pork, game birds, almost anything. And, yes, it’s not cheap. Regular price is like most Stag’s Leap District Cabernets at $49.99 — not our everyday go-to bottle. But, and this is why I started out saying “don’t get caught,” because no one looks good doing an imitation of a deer (or stag?) blinded and staring into headlights at the sticker price. And $50 bottles can make us look like that. But we can help you out a bit. Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island has a coupon for this wine, and the coupon is a copy of this article in your hand. With it you can get this wine for $39.97. Still not our everyday Cab, but, remember: Easter dinners are coming, and this wine pairs perfectly, perfectly with lamb. So, anyone who brings in a copy of this article by Thursday, March 14 can buy Stag’s Leap 2010 Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon for the lower, coupon price. Enjoy.
One thing is for sure when it comes to raising a family. You can count on unexpected expenses: Your daughter needs braces. The roof leaks. The list goes on and on. We’ve been helping hometown people with personal loans since the day we first opened our doors for business. See us about a personal loan.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol
How sweet is it?
By Tracie Korol
Dr. Robert Lustig, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, reappeared in the news last week on the media tour for his new book,“Fat Chance,” a scientific and passionate diatribe against processed food in general and sugar, in particular. Dr. Lustig argues that high fructose corn sugar is the major culprit behind the country’s explosive obesity rates. Sugar has poisoned the food supply and is altering people’s biology, compelling them to eat more and move less. Eat more, move less? Does this sound like anyone at your house? Perhaps, your somewhat lumpy Best Friend snoring away on the couch? It is estimated about 90 million dogs and cats in the U.S. are not only overweight, but obese, and part of the problem is the sugar pet food manufacturers are now adding to processed kibble and treats. Beet pulp sugar (not to be confused with bed pulp fiber), sucrose (table sugar), corn syrup (a derivative of corn starch), and molasses are the most widely used sweeteners in the pet food industry. The sugar problem is linked to money — lots of it. With U.S. pet food sales estimated to be $19.85 billion (yes, that’s billion) in 2011, the food bowl is solid platinum. As with humans, sugar is equally

If a dog gobbles a treat quickly, an owner is more likely to give another — and another. It makes us feel good but it also adds up to more sales — and profits — and calories. In the race for pet treat profits, our pets’ health is being bankrupted. Corn syrup is also known (and approved) as an effective “humectant and plasticizer,” and is the ingredient that gives the product dampness and flexibility — think, those rubbery, spongy pellets in the individualserving pouches. These ingredients cause chaos in your pets. All sugars produce the same highs and lows stressing the pancreas and adrenals which, when chronic, results

in diabetes. Corn syrup dilutes nutrients in the diet by providing only empty calories devoid of vitamins, minerals, proteins or fats, and can over-stimulate the production of insulin and acidic digestive juices, just like it does with humans. Not only does it interfere with an animal’s ability to absorb proteins, calcium and other minerals, it also inhibits proper growth of useful intestinal bacteria for assimilation of these nutrients. Sweeteners have also been linked to behavioral problems such as aggression and hyperactivity. And then there’s that tooth decay problem.
Whether it’s corn syrup used as a thickener or dextrose used to evenly distribute moisture, sugar adds calories to a dog’s diet that do nothing but add pounds, according to veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Larsen, an assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of California’s School of Veterinary Medicine in Davis. “Sugar has a role in the physical and taste characteristics of many products, helping to mask bitter flavors imparted by acidifying agents or changing the texture of specific treat types,” she said. Remember, our dogs are not that discriminating; if it’s sweet, they’re less apt to spit out the artificial piggy synthetic chemical compound kinda-looks-like-bacon thing. Limiting treats to 10% of a pet’s caloric intake can help, as can swapping commercial pet treats for fresh human foods. “Owners forget that human foods, especially fruits and vegetables, make excellent and healthy treats, which are more cost-effective than commercial pet treats,” said Larsen. Apples, sweet potatoes, berries and carrots, for example, are terrific treats, made even better because your Best Friend will know you’ve put his health first.
