Beaufort Reporter On St. Helena Island between Frogmore and Dulamo, the Pasture Shed Farm is a treat to the eye. Not only are strawberries, peaches, basil and lavender harvested and sold at their outdoor market, manager Christi Flood’s “hay bale” artwork is something you won’t find at too many other farms. She has artistically designed them to catch the eye of tourists and locals traveling down Sea Island Parkway. This photo by Ron Callari gets up close and personal with her 20-foot-long caterpillar, backed up by a teddy bear and three minions.

Swim In 2017 alone, the Y gave over 1,500 swim lessons with more than half of these being a direct result of scholarship assistance provided by the Learn to Swim Program and the BRS. Learning to swim and being safe around the water is a priority at the Y. Fanning adds, “Among preventable injuries, drowning is the leading cause of death for children 1-4 years of age, the second leading cause of death for children 5-14 years of age, and the third leading cause for children under 1 and older teens ages 15-17. Here in the Lowcountry we are quite literally surrounded by water so it is quite obvious that learning how to swim well is a necessity for our kids.”

For the uninitiated, open water swimming can conjure up quite a few questions. Pete Palmer, avid Masters swimmer (he holds 42 current individual SC state records, 22 shared relay records and has raced in almost every BRS to date) and BRS committee member, says that the most common question is, ‘What kind of shape should one be in to swim 3.2 miles?’, Palmer states. ”Simply expressed, if you can swim the mile (66 laps) in a pool, the BRS is doable. If you cannot swim a non-stop mile in the pool, you might prefer to give the much shorter fun swim a try.”

Both the BRS race and the fun swim are ‘with the tide’ and that being said the current does not push you exactly where you want to go. “We like to kid about ‘beating the bucket,” added Palmer.

“The idea is that if you toss a bucket into the river at the Port Royal Marina, it will take the bucket about an hour and twenty minutes to get to the Beaufort Marina. The fastest swimmers (usually the youngest) will get to the Beaufort Marina in about forty minutes. Middle of the pack gets there in 55 minutes to an hour.”

Hundreds of spectators will be cheering on the swimmers as they emerge from the salty depths of the Beaufort River at the downtown marina boat ramp. During the swim, Bluffton business owner and former Olympic and NCAA competitive swimmer, Carlton Bruner, will provide first-hand swimmer’s insight and make pertinent announcements.

Boundary Street ribbon cutting set for June 1 Final asphalt is being laid for the Boundary Street Construction Project and plans are underway for a celebratory ribbon-cutting Friday, June 1 at 10 a.m.to cap this two-year project being completed on schedule and on budget.

Local, state and federal leaders are being invited to the event, to be held at the corner of Boundary Street and Robert Smalls Parkway at Beaufort Plaza.

The Boundary Street Project is a $33 million federal, state, county, and City of Beaufort initiative that is just over one mile long, stretching from

Neil Road to Sycamore Street at Beaufort City Hall. A major element of the project was removing overhead power and communications lines into an underground duct bank, reducing urban clutter while creating a safer environment for travel.

About 35 miles of overhead cables were relocated underground, drainage systems were upgraded, sidewalks were installed on both sides of the street, and new streetlights have been installed along with locally-sustainable landscaping. All these improvements have made for a remarkable entrance to the City of Beaufort.

SALUTING THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO MAKE

miracles happen every day E

very May we recognize National Hospital Week, America’s largest health care event.

It’s a time to honor the history and innovation that make our nation’s hospitals exceptional.

We never forget that however well equipped, hospitals are just buildings, bricks and mortar and windows and walls. Their heart and soul are the people who work within.

But most important, it’s a time to salute the providers and employees who this and every week do us proud at Beaufort Memorial, caring for our patients—and one another—with skill and humanity.

Ours at Beaufort Memorial are the best of the best, and National Hospital Week is a time to tell them so.

Parker’s, a nationally acclaimed convenience store leader with a focus on exceptional food service, recently opened its newest retail location on Lady’s Island, S.C. The company’s 52nd store, located at 133 Sam’s Point Rd., offers fresh, Southern-inspired food and outdoor patio seating.

“We’re delighted to open our newest store on Lady’s Island, serving Southern-style food made fresh with quality ingredients by real cooks in our kitchens,” said Parker’s President and CEO Greg Parker. “We’re honored to meet the growing needs of our customers in Beaufort County and invite area residents to experience the Parker’s difference, from our delicious food to our friendly customer service.”

The new store offers a full-service Parker’s Kitchen with extended foodservice hours from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Parker’s serves fresh, never-frozen Southern Fried Chicken Tenders as well as a full breakfast bar with egg casserole, bacon, sausage, cheese grits

and biscuits. Daily specials and family meal deals are available, in addition to fresh-baked cookies and fresh sandwiches.

The Lady’s Island store, which features iconic Lowcountry architecture, sells high-quality Parker’s gas as well as fountain drinks, freshly brewed tea and lemonade with signature Parker’s Chewy Ice. Customers can also enjoy Bean to Cup Guaranteed Fresh Coffee – where every cup is ground and brewed fresh – as well as 28-degree beer and much more. The retail location, which has the most beautiful and spotless restrooms in the industry, is managed and staffed by experienced members of the Parker’s team, all of whom share a commitment to delivering high-quality customer service.

The new Parker’s location also offers the rewarding PumpPal program, featuring fast and easy mobile payment with the free Parker’s app.

PumpPal members can save up to 20 cents per gallon on gas and can use PumpPal to pay for merchandise inside the store or at the pump.

Lowcountry Phone Directory wins six national awards The Lowcountry Phone Directory won six awards in a national Yellow Pages competition, and publisher Brent Cooper was named to the Association of Directory Publishers board of directors during the trade group’s recent annual convention in Salt Lake City.

The Lowcountry Phone Directory is published by Lady’s Island-based CPC, which Cooper owns and operates.

“We work hard to produce a quality phone book for our readers and our advertisers,” Cooper said. “We get great feedback from them, and that will always be the best reward, but it’s gratifying to be recognized by an industry organization, too. I couldn’t be more proud of our staff.”

The 2017 edition of the phone book — the company’s 24th — won six ADP Gold Book Awards: • 1st place: Excellence in Directory Ad Effectiveness, Design and Print (Kinghorn Insurance advertisement).

The advertisement contained a trackable phone number — similar to a URL shortener that allows its creator to track internet traffic — that was

used more than 1,200 times.

• 1st place: Excellence in Cover Design and Art-Product Branding (cover by Eric Horan and Phillip Heim); • 2nd place: Excellence in Television Advertising (WHHI commercial); • 2nd place: Excellence in Marketing and Newspaper (“It’s More Than a Phone Book,” published in the Island News); • 2nd place: Excellence in Print Directories (50,001-100,000 distribution); • 3rd place: Excellence in Cover Design and Art-Print (cover design by Phillip Heim).

"CPC’s Gold Book Awards are truly an accomplishment and honor,” said Cindi Aldrich, ADP president and CEO. “This annual competition celebrates a tradition of 20-plus years that recognizes the innovative directory covers,3 creative advertising colors to choose campaigns and the mobile and online content that showcase the strengths of the Yellow Pages industry.”

Cooper also was named to ADP’s board of directors during the convention.

Chambers Waterfront Park Student Alexandra Bosley (center left) stands with Bridges Prep teacher Casey Chucta along with Winning Orthodontic Smiles representatives Lisa Garber (left) and Joni Embrey (far right).

Bridges Prep teacher, Chucta, surprised as ‘Favorite Teacher’ by local orthodontics office Bridges Prep’s Casey Chucta won $100 Wednesday by being selected as the “Favorite Teacher” by Winning Orthodontic Smiles of Beaufort and Bluffton.

Chucta teaches sixth grade and is the drama teacher as well. She received a $100 gift card to Staples along with a classroom of surprised students.

One of Chucta’s students, Alexandra Bosley, nominated her teacher for the monthly award. She signed up her teacher when visiting the orthodontic office of Dr. Travis Fiegle and Dr. Katie Plunkett Solomon.

Tuesday, Miss Bosley posed alongside her teacher for a photograph with an oversized $100 bill and Lisa Garber and Joni Embrey representing Winning Orthodontic Smiles.

“Casey Chucta does so much for her students and for Bridges Prep,” Interim Head of School Chris Wilson said Tuesday. “This is a nice way for her students to recognize how much she invests in them.”

Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors, also applauded Chucta’s recognition. “She

has a wonderful way of connecting to her students, of listening to their problems and helping them find solutions. That’s important in math class but it’s an important skill in life, too.”

Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since then, enrollment has grown steadily with almost 700 students enrolled in K-10 this year. School leaders are preparing to build a K-12 full-service campus in Port Royal off Robert Smalls Parkway.

As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition.

Bridges Prep follows the Paideia principles of education: All children can learn and therefore they all deserve the same quality of schooling, not just the same quantity; and the quality of schooling to which they are entitled is what the wisest parents would wish for their own children, the best education for the best being the best education for all.

American Legion baseball heats up in the Lowcountry American Legion Beaufort Post 9 is organizing junior and senior Ospreys teams that join more than 2,000 other Legion baseball teams across the country to offer our youth an opportunity to play America’s pastime on a well maintained field with quality coaching and officiating. Post 9 has invested significant upgrades to the facilities at Beaufort High School to make this experience top notch.

Tryouts for the 2018 Ospreys teams will be held on Saturday, May 12th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Beaufort High School baseball field. Prospective players may be middle and high school students, be home-schooled or are returning Ospreys college freshman; they just need to show up for the tryouts.

New players to Legion baseball should bring an original birth certificate to verify their age. Junior team players are age 13

to17; seniors are age 15 to 19. The Junior Ospreys are coached by Richard Jennings and the Senior Ospreys by Steven Vega.

The senior Ospreys begin their play with a pre-season tournament in Florence May 25-27; their regular season starts away at Charleston (Goose Creek) on June 4th. The first home game at Beaufort High School is June 6th when the Ospreys host Hampton at 7 PM. The other team in League 1 is Wal-

terboro. Each of the four teams in Legion League 1 will play 12 regular season games, 6 at home and 6 away before the leaders move on to playoffs in July.

The junior Osprey’s schedule has not been finalized as it awaits the outcome of the tryouts. There may be enough players to form two junior Ospreys teams.

Dataw raises over $12,000 for Keyserling Cancer Center

Dataw Island members this year hosted a Carnival for the Cure as the finale to annual their week-long series of cancer fundraising efforts, which together raised an impressive $12,275.

The Battle for Life cancer fundraiser is a volunteer-driven event that has become an institution on the Island. Spearheaded by the Dataw Island Women’s Golf Association (DIWGA), the event began in 2002, and now in its 16th year includes about 300 Dataw members each year who are dedicated to supporting the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Keyserling Cancer Center. A fitting beneficiary for the fundraisers, Keyserling is an innovative cancer treatment facility located right here in Beaufort.

The center reports that without donations like the ones from Dataw, the entire Cancer Center would not have been possible.

“Nearly 10% of all contribution received by the BMH Foundation over the past 30 years have come from the Dataw community” reads the 2014-2015 BMH Keyserling Foundation report Giving Well; Recognizing Our Supporters.

Dataw’s fundraising events comprised a golf tournament with a huge raffle, a memory wall featuring sponsored listings in honor of and in memory of loved ones, a tennis round-robin tournament and their almost-famous “Partee,” bocce, and a croquet tournament. And, of course, the carnival was an excellent way for all members to show support and share some laughs with dunk tanks, carnival games, cotton candy and snow cones.

Dataw member Celeste Nalwasky, this year’s chair of the Carnival for the Cure, Luncheon and Memory Wall, says that the support from Dataw members is nothing short of amazing.

“Dataw members are very supportive of Beaufort-area non-profits and civic groups,” Nawalsky said. “You can hardly blink around here without walking past a neighbor on their way to volunteer one place or another.”

She also noted that this particular event is close to home for many members, saying that “Cancer is now so widespread, that I think we all know someone close to us who has been affected.

Sometimes we think, ‘I wish I could do something to help!’ This series of events offers that opportunity – and as a bonus, we have a ton of fun doing it!”

NOC holds youth tennis and social event celebration The children and families at Cordillo Courts, along with Neighborhood Outreach Connection (NOC) family and friends, made the event on Sunday, April 22, spectacular and extra special on Hilton Head Island.

There was much fun and laughter as people enjoyed food, games, and music. Clearly, pizzas and cookies were favorites for the children.

Dr. Sharma greeted the group and gave special thanks to Cordillo Courts Program Manager Judy Blahut and her team, Gerson and Consuelo, along with teachers and volunteers who participate in NOC's learning program,

including Bethany Battig Ramseur and students from Prep High School. Special tribute was given to St. Luke's Church for making their facility available to NOC's children and families to continue with their programs after

May 14, for at least two years. Also, a special thanks was given to Providence Church and other local agencies for their support.

The success of this event reflects the efforts of the entire community on Hilton Head.

Other speakers were Steve Chisolm, Assistant Pastor at St. Luke's Church; Dr. Bill Ward, Providence Church; and Mayor David Bennett. Also present were several NOC board members and staff, HHI Town Councilman David Ames, and Community Leader Tom Conner. Special thanks also goes to the Italian American Club for their participation and support, and to the residents of Cordillo and Hedges communities who made the event colorful and exciting.

History Museum to debut new Exhibit Hall There is a growing sense of excitement around the historic Arsenal these days as Beaufort History Museum prepares to debut its newly renovated Exhibit Hall. The long anticipated renovation is on schedule and poised to open to the public in time for the Memorial Day weekend, according to Larry Koolkin, a BHM Director and Co-chairman of the Exhibits Committee. Koolkin says that completion of the project will mark the fruition of dream that the museum’s supporters have held for many years.

“The museum, founded in 1939, has been housed at many sites, finally coming home to The Arsenal in 2014,” Koolkin said. “This is our chance to ‘repaint the canvas’ and present our extensive collection, which tells the 500-year history of the Beaufort District, in a fresh and compelling manner utilizing new technologies and a modern approach.”

HW Exhibits, a Charleston-based exhibit design firm, was hired to create a cohesive theme, developing text and graphics based on the Museum’s collection of artifacts and images.

The firm, headed by Carol Poplin, the HW Exhibits Director, will also handle fabrication and installation.

The long, narrow second floor space that houses the museum was a primary consideration as Poplin and her team conceived their plan for the renovation. “Beaufort History Museum has a certain charm but the unique configuration of the Exhibit Hall had to be considered when planning the traffic flow and the perceived usage by guests.” Poplin said.

“Will they wander back and forth across the space? Can they resume the chronological order once they are drawn to another section of the displays? All of this had to be taken into consideration to make their visit enjoyable and encourage a sense of discovery.”

MAY 10 - 16, 2018

The museum’s materials are organized both chronologically and thematically. The 13,000 year history of the area is displayed in storyboards and organized into discrete subject areas such as First People, European Exploration, Rice and Cotton, the Civil War, 20th Century Tourism and many more Thematically, Poplin said there are three sections: • Ecology – examining how Beaufort District’s history is tied to the region’s geography, climate, landscape and ecology • Discovery and early settlement – exploring American Indian lifeways through early exploration European settlement, the plantations era and the Civil War. • Modernization and growth – focusing on 20th century industries such as oystering phosphates, the military, truck farming and tourism.

When the new exhibit hall opens the interpretive displays will represent Phase I of the renovation. Phase II, due to be completed next year, will include larger, centrally placed displays and visitor interaction enhanced with leading-edge technology.

Koolkin said that the Museum will remain open until the setting up of the new Exhibit in early May, when it will close for a few weeks during the installation period. The opening date will be announced once installation is complete.

The Arsenal address is 713 Craven Street. Normal BHM hours of operation are 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, Monday – Saturday. Docents are on duty to provide information and conduct tours. Please visit beauforthistorymuseum.com or the BHM Facebook page for updates and news from the Museum, including special discounted admission prices to celebrate the Renovation.

‘Becky’s New Car’ is an exciting ride Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster (Kelley Gray) is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage – with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where she works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life, and the audience is offered a chance to participate while riding shotgun down the hilarious road less traveled.

Coastal Stage Productions will soon be introducing Beaufort County audiences to the 2008 comedy Becky’s New Car written by Steven Dietz.

Director Luke Cleveland says, "This is a delightful, life-affirming comedic play about the road not often taken. We see the soul of a woman being pulled in two directions, romantically and socially and the hilarious result of her decisions that will finally lead to happiness. I think it is one of Steven Dietz's best plays

and it’s been a real joy to work on this production. As these characters evolve, audience members will find themselves wondering what a woman really means, when she says that she wants a new car."

Fasten your seat belt and hang on for the deadpan humor and U-turn plot twists as this talented Lowcountry cast played by Donna Capps, Mark Erickson, Chandler Henry, Dan Herrin, Travis McKinley and Catie Mengel wonderfully portray the characters that join Becky in maneuvering her way down the twists & turns of life's highway!

Don't miss Becky’s New Car May 18 - 19 and 25 - 26 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, May 20 and 27 at 2 p.m. at The Shed Event Venue, 809 Paris Avenue, Port Royal, SC.

HONORING MOTHER'S DAY

Mother’s Day is upon us again and many of us are thinking about our own mothers.

My mother has been gone for ten years now, but it still feels like I should be able to pick up the phone and call her. She was always great for medical advice because she had been a nurse. I cannot tell you how many times I would call her when my children were sick.

“How high does a temperature have to get before you call the doctor?” I would ask in a panicked voice.

“A 99-degree temperature is not very high.” She would reassure me.

She was also the one called when I could not remember the name of a movie star or the author of a book. This was pre-Google and Mom always knew the answer.

The older I get, the more questions I have to ask her. Some of them are health related.

What hereditary diseases are in our family?Questions which my own daughter has asked me. It was only recently I discovered that my maternal grandmother had died of

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

This Mother’s Day you might want to sit and talk with your own mother... Some day a Mother’s Day will come, and you will be glad you spent that time together. a massive heart attack. She was the same age I am now! Suddenly, this information is relevant to me.

One of my recent questions concerned the people in Mom’s old photographs.

Who are these two older women at her graduation from nursing school? One

looked like her grandmother, but I have no idea the identity of the other woman.

There are also numerous photo albums filled with pictures of Mom and Dad, but I cannot tell if the other people in the photos were friends or relatives.

“And what was that secret ingredient in

all your pie crusts, Mom?” She would bake homemade pies with flakey crusts that I have been unable to recreate. Some women at my book club were discussing pie crusts and one of the woman said her mother used Crisco. I remember the large blue can of Crisco in our cupboard. I vaguely recall Mom scooping large tablespoons into the electric frying pan and cooking breaded chicken. It was delicious. Crisco was the go-to for cooking back in the 1950s.

“Was that your secret ingredient in the pie crusts, Mom?” I guess I was too busy to ask questions when she was alive. Work and children devoured my time and the holidays were always so hectic. Maybe my age now has something to do with my curiosity.

This Mother’s Day you might want to sit and talk with your own mother. Ask her about her relatives and look at some old photo albums. Some day a Mother’s Day will come, and you will be glad you spent that time together.

The mystery of Robert Smalls' birthplace

By Bill Rauch

Mea culpa.

Robert Smalls was definitely not born in the rear cottage at 511 Prince Street that is for sale today as a part of the historic Robert Smalls House property. He couldn’t have been because the cottage that is there now was built in 2010.

The property gets its name because Beaufort-born Robert Smalls, the Civil War hero and U.S.Congressman, bought 511 Prince Street for $605.00 on January 18, 1864 at the U.S.Government’s “Foreclosed Town Lots” sale, and lived there until his death in 1915.

But where was Smalls born?

“That isn’t known exactly,” says Michael

Boulware Moore, CEO of the in development International African American Museum on Charleston’s Gadsden’s Wharf, and a great-great grandson of Robert Smalls.

“What we know is that Bill Rauch Robert Smalls’ mother, Lydia, who was a domestic in the household of Henry McKee who owned the 511 Prince Street property at the time, most likely gave birth to Robert Smalls on April 5, 1839 in one of the cabins or shacks where the enslaved people lived on the property behind the main house where the McKees lived.”

The cottage that exists today was built,

The Northern Beaufort County Democratic Club Meeting Thursday, May 17th, 7:00 p.m.

Grand Army Hall of the Republic 706 Newcastle Street, Beaufort

Special Guest: Democratic Candidate for Governor,

Marguerite Willis

according to archeological findings, on the foundation of a previous building, probably the kitchen house.

“There is a legend in our family,” Mr. Moore went on to explain, “that there was an execution at the Armory on April 5, 1839, and all the town went down to Craven Street to see it. It was during that event that Robert Smalls was born. So it is reasonable to presume that Lydia gave birth to Robert Smalls alone and in her quarters.”

There were not typically sleeping quarters in detached kitchens at the time because kitchens were detached so that if they burned which they did occasionally, only the kitchen building would be lost.

So where would Lydia’s quarters have been?

“Probably back in the portion of the property today that is in the trees between the Main House and the house at 508 Duke Street,” Mr. Moore added.

Interestingly there is an undated postcard photo of Robert Smalls standing on the front porch of the Main House at 511 Prince Street, and in the background of that photo where the trees are today is the roofline of a cottage with a gable roof that appears to be shedded out over another room, perhaps a porch. Only the roofline is visible in the photo. But it bears a striking similarity to the roofline of the house that stands now at 712 East Street.

An Historic Beaufort Foundation plaque on 712 East Street’s front porch says that that building was built in 1840, but an 1864 photo of the corner of Duke and East Streets where the building now stands shows a vacant lot at that corner at that time.

Andrew Billingsley in his biography of Robert Smalls,Yearning to Breathe Free (2007), wrote that Smalls owned the building at 712 East Street. Indeed, according to Billings-

ley, it was one of a handful of houses in the neighborhood Smalls acquired during his long life and used for various purposes.

712 East Street’s current owner, Louise Biedermann, says the floor joists in the oldest part of the building have been cut, indicating that the present-day building was once much more modest and that the oldest parts of the building may have been moved before the building was expanded. She believes her house is the one in the picture, and that it was moved during the time Robert Smalls owned it the hundred fifty or so feet from what is now the wooded area to its present location at the corner of Duke and East Streets.

Her case is a compelling one.

But even so there’s no evidence at this time that if what is now 712 East Street is an expanded version of the building in the photograph, that that was the building in which Robert Smalls was born. Henry McKee, Robert Smalls’ owner when he was born, was a cotton planter with a substantial plantation on Lady’s Island called Ashdale, from which the present Lady’s Island subdivision that stands on the land once occupied by the plantation gets its name. Planters houses in towns, whether they be in Beaufort or Charleston or elsewhere, often included a number of outbuildings including stables, a kitchen, a shop where repairs were made, and slave quarters.

Until more archeological exploration is done at the 511 Prince Street property, the mystery will probably persist, and how much excavation is allowed there, and where, will depend upon many things, including significantly the wishes of the property’s next owner.

VOICES

Lady’s Island man gives back through Susan’s Desk May 3 is a very special date in my life, bringing memories of great joy as well as memories of a horrible tragedy. Four years and one day ago I set foot in Beaufort, SC for the very first time. On May 3, 2014, I escorted my only daughter down the aisle as she joined in marriage with Mr. Russ Freeman. In the father of the bride tradition, I also wrote a lot of big checks.

One year ago today, I was in my car at the stoplight at the intersection of Sea Island Parkway and Sam’s Point Road. The traffic was fully stopped and as the lights repeatedly cycled, I grew increasingly frustrated that anyone would have the nerve to delay my grocery shopping trip. I was alone in the car and have no idea if my screamed wishes of ill will were actually verbal or nearevil thoughts erupting to the conscious.

Clearly those utterances are not something to be proud of or easy to even admit. However, a few minutes later I was figuratively dope slapped as I observed a rollup wrecker hauling a tarp draped, badly crushed car. Instantaneously I knew that something horrible had happened and that only minutes earlier I had been mad as hell that my shopping trip had been delayed. That wasn’t to be the last slap.

A week, maybe two weeks later, while reading through your newspaper, I mentally crumbled as I was introduced to Susan Shaffer, no longer an obscure traffic accident victim but now as a beautiful human who loved life and lived it to the fullest. And here I was, a selfish bastard, angered at being temporarily delayed.

To say that I felt like crap is a gross understatement. I couldn’t take back the words – words heard by no living soul but me – but I could begin trying to

change some of my personal weaknesses. Irrational anger is not an easy thing to change. I not only needed to do a bunch of introspection by I also needed to do something to atone. Perhaps with a guiding hand from God, I believe that the convergence of several items has provided me with just that opportunity.

First, I am a retired aerospace engineer (PhD University of Virginia) but I usually describe myself as simply a furniture maker who loves to make beautiful pieces – especially 18th century reproductions. I give away about 90% of what I make, either to friends or as gifts to charities. There are two rules in my shop. If I build a piece of furniture for you, the price is non-negotiable – it’s zero. The second rule is that the piece will be ready when it is ready! Woodworking is my hobby and I will not let it become my job and I’ll not allow anyone to own my time. My remuneration is seeing the joy in the recipient’s eyes and knowing that

I’ve used my talents to create something that will live long beyond my remaining years on this earth.

The second item is that one of the potential final-fates that greatly scare me is Alzheimer’s. Here in the Lowcountry we have charities that address two aspects of this horrible disease. The first is the Rotary Club’s CART Fund which raises seed money for cutting-edge research looking for an Alzheimer’s cure. The other is Alzheimer’s Support Services of Greater Beaufort, a charity directed

by Arlene Hull providing support to the caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients. Arlene’s group has an annual fund-raising gala which includes an auction of donated items. Last year, through the Rotary Club of Beaufort, I directed a similar fundraiser for the CART fund. I made pieces that were auctioned at both of last year’s events but was disappointed at the meager prices the pieces brought.

This year I am again making pieces for

the two auctions but have decided to up the game.

For the Alzheimer’s Family Services gala, currently scheduled for June 15, I built a reproduction of small desk originally built somewhere between 1795 and 1805 in Wilmington, NC. The original is in the MESDA collection at Old Salem. Both Hepplewhite and Sheraton referred to such pieces as Lady’s Desks because of their small size and the fact that the delicate tapered legs are remindful of a ballerina on toe. This piece I’ve built includes a slant front with a full gallery of drawers and cubby holes.

Now let’s tie all three together. The original lady’s desk was made of mahogany but I’ve chosen a different wood with a much more direct connection to the Lowcountry, Beaufort, Hurricane Matthew and to Susan Shaffer. Hurricane Matthew felled thousands of trees in Beaufort and the majority of them were hauled off by FEMA to be burned.

Among the thousands were a few a cherry trees that a local Beaufortonian, Mike Murphy, managed to save from the burn piles and to prepare for future use as furniture. Mike slabbed up the trees, stickered them to air-dry and graciously sold me a few of those cherry boards that I’ve used to build my reproduction.

After talking a bit with Arlene, we’ve agree that there is but one way forward.

The desk to be auctioned on June 15th will be referred to and forever known as “Susan’s Desk.” Maybe, just maybe, Susan’s legacy can live on in the forms of a beautiful Southern Lady’s desk, made from a tree that survived Matthew and the FEMA trailer. Also, maybe I’ve taken a lasting step in atonement.

Enjoy our marshview!

Merlot makes up 10% of Tie Dye. It has raspberry, black cherry, sugar plum, chocolate and cedar flavors, although less intense than the flavors of the first three grapes. And, with a bit less body and weight Celia Strong and milder tannins, it acts as sort of a balance to the heavier grapes, while managing to back them up.

The final grape used is 6% Grenache, which is lighter bodied with fewer tannins, and bold flavors such as strawberries, grilled plums, ruby red grapefruits, leather and licorice. Grenache, whether French or Spanish or American, has a lovely juicy texture that’s always nice for sipping.

Each of these varieties was selected for its unique contributions to the finished Tie Dye Red Blend. The wine has an intense ruby color with powerful aromas and flavors of black currants, dark cherries, boysenberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Like any complex wine, there are rolling layers of these flavors that keeping coming with each sip and they’re wrapped up in cedar, clove, cinnamon, and roasted coffee notes. The wine pairs well with grilled meats, seafoods, stews and casseroles, Mexican flavors, Asian flavors, and curries.

A wine that embraces a free spirited, laid back vibe is perfect for sharing on a summer’s evening. Tie Dye is available at Bill’s Wine and Liquor on Lady’s Island for only $14.97.

Enjoy.

With a colorful label that evokes Haight Ashbury and the summer of love, it’s safe to guess the wine of the week is from California — a state known for many unconventional, cutting-edge cultural trends, including wines that blend non-traditional groups of grapes.

This new wine is called Tie Dye, which got its name, according to its producer, from the colorful clothing of the 1960s with lots of psychedelic patterns and bright colors.

Those of us who did our own tie dying will remember these funky clothes for the peace, love and free spirits that they often represented. At Tie Dye, the winery bring together the bright, bold colors and flavors of different grapes to make a special red blend.

There are five varieties of grapes used for Tie Dye Red. The first is Syrah, at 62%, a grape brings blueberry, plum, milk chocolate, tobacco and green peppercorn flavors to the finished wine. It has stronger fruit flavors in a medium to big body and softer tannins with noticeable alcohol.

Petite Sirah is the second grape, at 12%. It also has big fruit flavors (sugar plums, blueberries, dark chocolate, black pepper and black tea) with more weight and tannins and a bit more alcohol. Petite Sirahs, as they are grown and produced in California, can be some of the heaviest wines.

While Cabernet Sauvignon can also produce heavy red wines, at just 10% of the blend, it brings different flavors and textures rather than weight. Black cherries, black currants, red bell peppers, baking spices and cedar all come from Cabernet, as well as a sturdy, tannic structure.

Tips for Daily Prayer

Listening for God God speaks in silence Quiet prayer time allows us to hear God. When two friends are together in a noisy place, it can be hard for each to hear what the other is saying. Once they move somewhere that is quiet, they finally hear each other clearly. In a similar way, God is always reaching out to us, but we can’t hear him because of all of the noise. When we set aside quiet time to be with God, we start to hear God more clearly.

God usually doesn’t speak in a booming voice.

In your daily prayer time, you won’t normally hear a loud voice from heaven or see a miraculous sign. It is more likely that he will speak to you by gentle tugs on your mind and heart. It is like the experience of the prophet Elijah in the Old Testament: instead of revealing himself in a big, noisy manner, God spoke in a “still, small voice.”

(1 Kings 19:12)

In silence, God gives you new insights.

Perhaps you have been sharing with Jesus how a coworker has hurt you. As you sit quietly, lifting your mind and heart to the Lord, he brings to mind a forgotten experience from years earlier, when you hurt a friend in a similar way. You begin to feel more compassion and understanding toward the coworker.

In silence, you see how God is at work.

Perhaps you have been telling Jesus about a situation that is causing you a great deal of worry and anxiety. As you sit quietly, he helps you remember several other times in your life when you felt like you were in an impossible situation. Looking back, you see that he took care of you each time and opened unexpected doors.

You experience deeper peace and calm, trusting that he will take care of you now, too.

In silence, God guides you.

Perhaps while quiet with Jesus, he brings the image of a friend to mind, seemingly out of nowhere. You haven’t spoken to the friend in quite a while, but you feel a tug at your heart that the Lord might be asking you to give her a call. When you call her after your prayer time, you discover that she was facing a very difficult decision and that she had been praying for someone to reach out to her!

Your friendship with God starts to deepen.

As we spend time each day in prayer, talking with the Lord and listening, our friendship with him starts to deepen. He becomes a friend: not just someone we have heard about, but someone we know. In our next message, we will explore how we can invite Jesus to speak to us through Scripture.
