‘Extraordinary’ nurse receives award Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Kim Raines surprised with DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses

After weeks of careful planning, Beaufort Memorial Hospital administrators were set to surprise cardiopulmonary rehab nurse Kim Raines last Thursday morning with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

But all their arrangements had to be scrapped when the guest of honor did something, well, extraordinary.

She put in for a personal day off to take a former patient to the Medical University of South Carolina for treatment of a large melanoma on his leg.

“They started making excuses why I couldn’t have the day off,” recalled Raines, who works at the LifeFit Wellness Center. “But I kept pushing. I told them the patient was 85 years old and too weak to drive himself to Charleston.”

It’s that kind of compassion that prompted a co-worker to nominate Raines for the prestigious DAISY Award, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for Kim Raines’ daughter Addison, son Jordan and patients and their families. husband David joined her co-workers for the DAISY continued on page 4

CODA commemorates Domestic Violence Awareness Month Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) is supporting a number of events this October for National Domestic Violence Awareness Month to encourage the community to get involved and to learn more about the impact of domestic violence by attending these events. Some of these events are open to the public: • The Clothesline Project, a display featuring T-shirts designed by domestic violence survivors, at the Beaufort, Hampton and Jasper county libraries during all of October.

• Wedding Gown Project, a display featuring wedding dresses bearing witness to the fact that while many walk into marriage full of hope, the reality of domestic violence shatters their innocence. The dresses are adorned with the names of those who have died at the hands of their partners in South Carolina from 2011-2013. These will be displayed in Hampton, Colleton and Jasper county courthouses during all of October.

• Farmer’s Market awareness tent (Port Royal, October 25, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Walterboro, October 18, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Bluffton, October 23, from noon to 6 p.m.).

• A Light in the Window: Businesses and community members in Hampton County have agreed to display a purple candle in their front windows throughout the month of October to draw awareness to domestic violence in their community.

• Stand in the Sand: Zonta is hosting this event, and will have speakers, a walk, and candlelight vigil. Coligny Beach, Hilton Head Island, October 11 at 6 p.m.

• Candlelight Vigil and Awareness Event: Beaufort High School football game (October 17 at 7:30 p.m.).

• Candlelight Vigil and Awareness Event: Ridgeland/Hardeeville High School football game hosted by the Jasper County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (October 31 at 7:30 p.m.).

• Trinity Health and Fitness Pilates Fundraiser: Trinity Fitness Moss Creek Village, October 18 and 25, Bluffton at 9 a.m. (all proceeds to CODA).

• St. Mark’s Paper Drive for CODA, (diapers, paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex), St. Mark’s Church, Beaufort, all month.

Whether we realize it or not, we all know someone who has experienced domestic violence. By attending these events, the community will show support for survivors, mourn those who have lost their lives and send a message that we must work together to stop domestic violence in the Lowcountry.

CODA has been providing an array of services to victims of intimate partner abuse and their children in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties for more than 28 years. In 2013, CODA provided 146 survivors and their children with emergency shelter for a total of 4,832 nights. The nonprofit also answered 3,353 calls on the 24hour hotline and provided outreach services such as counseling, case management, legal assistance and transitional housing to 261 survivors.

Please visit www.codalowcountry.org to learn more about domestic violence and CODA’s services.

SC DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Victims of domestic violence come from all walks of life — all cultures, all income groups, all ages, and all religions.

They share feelings of helplessness, isolation, guilt, fear and shame and often these incidents go unreported to law enforcement. Domestic violence affects women, men and children of all ages without prejudice.

According to the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault website, an annual report based on information obtained from the most recent Supplementary Homicide Report data submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows the numbers for 2011, which are the most recent statistics available, and the ranking is calculated according to the homicide rate per 100,000 people in the state.

• 61 females were murdered by males in South Carolina in 2011, a total of 2.54 per 100,000. This is more than twice the national per capita rate of 1.17 per 100,000.

• Four of the female homicide victims were 18 years of age or younger, and the average homicide victim age was 38 years old.

• Of these victims, 22 were black, and 39 were white.

• For those homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 93% of reported homicides (52 out of 56 identified) were murdered by someone they knew.

• Of the homicide victims who knew their offenders, 63% (33 victims) were murdered by a male that was their husband, common-law-husband, exhusband, boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend.

• South Carolina has been in the top 10 of women killed by men for the past 15 years, and this is the third time at the top spot in the nation.

The Beaufort County Public Works Department of Solid Waste and Recycling is hosting a free document shredding event Saturday, October 11. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Beaufort County Public Works Convenience Center at 80 Shanklin Road in Beaufort.

The questionnaire will remain open until Oct. 17.

“Over the next several months we will be talking internally about how we can provide a better experience to our customers,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said. “We are looking at what types of phone calls we receive, how quickly phone calls get returned, whether people can find what they need on our website, and how we can improve in all those areas.”

Responses to the survey will help shape customer service training for city employees as well as how the city’s website is refreshed and revised.

“Our goal is to provide the best service in the most efficient manner,” Dadson said. “This survey is designed to be simple, easy to complete, and will help us identify where we are strong and where we need to improve in both customer service and with our website.

We have a lot going on, and it’s only going to get busier, but we cannot forget how important it is to help

people and keep them informed.”

Longtime Born to Read director steps down Chris Taggart is one of those all-time great teachers. Not only did she choose teaching as her career for 26 years, but shortly after she retired, and was working with the University of South Carolina, she took a position as executive director of Born to Read, a local non-profit dedicated to showing new mothers how they could foster their children’s love of books and hence increase their early language skills.

“It was a natural fit for me,” she said.

“I mean what’s not to like about helping mothers learn the importance of reading to their babies regularly? It’s a win-win for everybody — me included! And it’s not rocket science, just cuddling up with your little one and enjoying a book together.”

A native of Glasgow, Scotland, Taggart became a teacher, married a U.S. Marine and moved to the United States. For 26 years, she taught as an elementary teacher at schools sponsored by the Department of Defense. After she retired from teaching at Laurel Bay Schools, she was looking around for what she might want to do next.

When she heard about a new program in 2002 that promoted early literacy starting at birth, she was interested in finding out more. The program, called Born to Read, had just received private funding to hire a full time executive director. The minute the board members met Chris, they knew she was the right person to build this new, early literacy program.

“Born to Read offered everything I believe in,” said Chris. “Parents are the child’s first and best teachers. If we can teach new parents how important it is

“Parents are the child’s first and best teachers.”

for them to read to their children daily, the children will be that much better prepared to learn at school.”

Her philosophy was recently confirmed in a paper published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and touted in the national news. It stated the importance of reading and interacting with babies from birth, pointing out that the result is children who are ready to learn at every age.

“Of course, this makes perfect sense,” said Nancy Gilley, who chairs the Born to Read Board. “But, hearing that the American Academy of Pediatrics supports and encourages early literacy from birth just validates our assumptions and the need for our program.”

continued from page 1 With some last-minute scrambling, her supervisors were able to rearrange the award ceremony for the following day. Only it turned out it was her day off.

Undeterred, they concocted a meeting Raines would have to attend. When she walked into the LifeFit Wellness Center, she found the meeting room decorated with balloons and her co-workers

Twelve years and thousands of babies later, Taggart decided earlier this year it was time for someone else to take on the job of director of the program. In March, the Board accepted her resignation.

During her tenure as director of Born to Read, Taggart recruited a dedicated group of volunteers to visit new mothers in hospitals in Beaufort and Hilton Head. Once she had the opportunity to convey the purpose of the program, finding volunteers was not a problem.

“I’m really proud of these ladies,” Taggart said. “They are so dedicated to our mission. They make the program a success. Of course, all of our volunteers are important, but I feel these ladies deserve some sort of recognition for their

and family gathered for a celebration.

“I was totally shocked when they gave me with the award,” said Raines, who works with patients recovering from heart attacks. “It was amazing!”

The 25-year nursing veteran was presented with the DAISY Award trophy — a hand-carved sculpture titled “A Healer’s Touch” — along with an engraved vase full of daisies.

Graham Jones, a clinical exercise physiologist at LifeFit Wellness Center, nominated Raines for the award, citing her unflagging dedication to her job.

“She has spent many weekends and afternoons off

dedication. They are true believers!”

In fact, four of the current volunteers at Beaufort Memorial — Corinne Hagood, Ginger Bolden, Anne Kennedy, and Liz Key — have been with the program since it started in 2002. A fifth original volunteer, Linda Priest, decided to leave at the same time Chris stepped down as executive director.

Happily, Chris isn’t leaving the program, but will stay on as a volunteer.

In April, the board hired her replacement, Terri Sassmann, formerly a volunteer coordinator at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, who recently moved to Bluffton.

“I really like her,” said Taggart. “I think the board did a good job finding someone to take this important program to the next level. And, I’m looking forward to her leadership.”

Since Sassmann took over the program, she has expanded the program to Coastal Carolina Hospital with the recent opening of their new Birthing Center.

“I had to hit the ground running,” she said.“I’m busy finding enough volunteers to be sure we can visit every mom who delivers their baby in Beaufort and Jasper counties.”

To learn more about Born to Read, or if you are interested in volunteering, you can contact Terri Sassmann at 843-3793350, or visit their newly redesigned website at www.borntoread.org.

the clock meeting with current and past patients, helping them with the physical, emotional and financial stresses that come with having a heart attack,” he said. “So many of her patients continue to work out at the Wellness Center just to keep Kim in their lives.”

Anyone can nominate a BMH nurse for the DAISY Award. Applications are available throughout the hospital.

“I’ve always had an open door for my patients to come in and talk,” Raines said. “I just feel it’s part of my job.”

Wherever you go ... there YOU are

By Martha O’Regan

You can never get away from you, no matter how hard you try. And, to face more truth, you are responsible for you. There is no one else out there who knows you or can take care of you better than you — not your spouse, doctor, parent, partner, child, sibling, no one. You are your greatest ally as well as your worst enemy. Only you can get you in trouble and only you can get you out. It is you who make choices, both good and bad. So, you may as well just sit down and introduce yourself to all of you and decide it’s time to be friends to begin working together for your highest good.

Simple, just not so easy, at least not at first.

Admittedly, it was a bit of a bummer to become aware that I was a steward of this vessel that I inhabit each day. No 0.00 Perexcuses, Mo. no more waiting for the more miraculous alternative to exercising or cheeseburgers, no more “if only this, that or the other thing would occur, then I will be happy” statements. I had to dig in there and re-connect with all of me. “Mind, olors Avail.

meet mind.”

Now that the introductions were complete, we had to figure out our new arrangement.

No longer could mind override spirit in Martha getting my body in O’Regan gear or choosing a healthy alternative to that cheeseburger. Now that we had recognized our relationship, body became more in tune to mind’s ramblings to ignore spirit. As an example, mind says, “Oh, just turn off that alarm clock and skip the workout, who will know anyway?” Uh hum, spirit will, then mind will have to hear about it all day, eventually fatiguing the body from carrying the guilt all day. So not worth it, better to just listen to spirit and get up! Ultimately body and mind feel better, and spirit is happy — it’s all good.

However, I must say, this goes on regularly within me but as long as I know spirit has my highest good in mind, I try to listen to it rather than my mind.

What about you? Do you know all of you? Give it a try, have some fun with it.

Give each entity a name and establish a working dialogue amongst them — I have found that all three prefer kindness and ease more than annoyance and sarcasm.

As I continue to nurture this relationship within myself, I am continuously aware that this is my life no one else’s. Not in a selfish “it’s all about me” energy but an “oh my gosh, this is my life, what am I going to do with it?” energy. I get to choose my hopes, dreams and desires and how am I going to achieve them and who will be a part of it. And, I get to relish in my own successes as well as learn from my own mistakes which allows spirit to remind me

not to do that again.

Understanding that my physiology is directly connected to my thoughts, emotions and perspectives allows me to choose wisely for my overall health and well-being. Being a steward of my vessel and getting to know all of me is no longer a bummer but rather a gift. I decided that taking time for me, doing what I love to do, being with who I love to be with and doing it authentically with kindness and ease was far better than where I was before my “ah ha.” There is still the daily debate amongst the three of us, but now it’s with delightful banter.

I invite you to get to know all of you and enjoy the rest of your ride here on planet earth — since it’s where you are and you have to take you wherever you go anyway.

Last weekend marked the 20th Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival sponsored by Main Street Beaufort, USA. Although the Friday night concert saw rain, the show still went on and a dedicated crowd enjoyed the live music.

5K. The gorgeous weather last all day and Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park was packed with families and community members listening to music, touring shrimp boats, playing in the children’s activity area, taking part in the Rotary Adopt-A-Shrimp Race, and most of all eating the delicious food offered by local restaurants. Of course, shrimp was the featured ingredient, and there were so

many tasty and creative dishes. Here are some of the winners: BOOTH DECORATION Tie for Second place: Foolish Frog and Southern Graces 1st Place: Sea Eagle Market BEST SHRIMP DISH 3rd Place: Sea Eagle Market 2nd Place: Gilligan’s 1st Place: Southern Graces

gardening

By Susan Stone

Glorious October!

October is one of my favorite months of the year. Gardeners, joggers and dog walkers can once again be out in the middle of the day without fainting from the heat. We can finally open the windows and get some fresh air in the house!

Our garden tasks for the month are all about clean up and preparation.

Here are a few chores you can do now to reduce your labor in the spring and to keep your gardens healthy.

Roses: If you haven’t already, stop fertilizing and pruning your roses Susan this month. They Stone need to finish their natural cycle by developing their rose hips. These are the hard round bulbish growths at the base of the flower. Once they have ripened (by February), you can harvest them for rose hip tea or other recipes. They are very high in vitamin C and worth saving or sharing.

The most important thing you can do for your roses now is to clean out the leaf material under them.

Discard all diseased leaves. DO

According to Garden Guru Susan Stone, there is still time to plant your winter food crops. If you missed the opportunity to plant by seed, the garden centers are full of potted plants.

Lettuce, broccoli, kale and collards are just a sample of what is available this time of year.

NOT THROW THEM IN YOUR COMPOST! This will reduce the chance of black spot and other fungal diseases later. One more thing, for all of our northern gardeners, in the South, we do not prune our roses back until Valentine’s Day. I know they can look a little raggedy, but please do yourself and roses a favor and get over it. If you cut them back, they will push out new growth and won’t have time to harden off before the frosts come.

Fruit crops: There are still citrus fruits ripening on the trees, but most of our fruit trees and grapevines are finished for the year. Collect and discard all of your fallen fruit. This is also not a compost item. Decaying fruit attracts insects. Many of our banana plants got zapped last winter, but recovered nicely. If you were lucky enough to get bananas this year, wait to harvest until just before our first frost. Our growing season isn’t quite

long enough to harvest them ripe, so they will still be very green. To speed up the process, place them in a brown paper bag with an apple.

Bulbs: First, do yourself a favor and buy high quality bulbs. The cheap bulk bags are generally poor performers.

You can plant bulbs now through November. If you have your heart set on tulips and hyacinths, you’ll need to refrigerate them for about six weeks before planting them in December or January. If you have room in the fridge, plant a small pot of paper whites to enjoy indoors. They will need a little more time in the cold (about three months). Flowers will appear in about 2-3 weeks at room temperature.

Daffodils are still the hardiest bulbs we can enjoy year after year. Just remember that the squirrels really love them too. Plant your bulbs under chicken wire or other barrier that they can penetrate but the squirrels can’t.

recipe of the month The No-See-Ums are really waking up with the cooler temperatures so I am republishing last month’s recipe.

Your sanity may depend on it!

• 1 oz. Cinnamon Leaf Oil, about $5 online • 8-10 oz. Witch Hazel, about $1.50 That’s it! Put it in a spray bottle and shake! Adjust the recipe for strength.

Test for sensitivity to the cinnamon, don’t use it straight. Too much of a good thing is still too much!

You can also try planting bulbs amid your thick groundcover. Squirrels usually don’t dig in groundcover.

There is still time to plant your winter food crops. If you missed the opportunity to plant by seed, the garden centers are full of potted plants. Lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and collards are just a sample of what is available this time of year.

Keep collecting your flower seeds and place them in paper envelopes to keep them dry. Label everything! If you want to sow some flower seeds now for spring, four-o-clocks, poppies, cornflowers and larkspur are a perfect choice.

You may send Susan your questions and garden wisdom to theriverangel.ss@ gmail.com.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

§

a strong southern woman Lowcountry native Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer pursues her dream and presents

“SOUTH: What it means to be here in heart or in spirit”

By Kim Harding Newton

Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer hasn’t always been a writer, but she has always been a cheerleader — for her teams, for her friends and family and for her community. Since she was a little girl, she’s looked at the positive in people and in circumstances.

When she was young, her mother, Shirley Nilsen, gave her some advice that she has carried with her for a lifetime. She said, “Always appreciate what the person in front of you is saying. You will grow by listening to their story.”

Wendy took those words to heart and developed a personality that parallels her career. Her endearing asset, professionally as a writer and personally, is her ability to understand people, all people, no matter the degree of diversity. She can easily blend carefree conversation with sensitivity and depth, while finding similarities between the person with whom she’s speaking and her own experiences.

When she started working for The Island News in 2010 as editor, she gained the attention of readers by writing articles about what mattered most to the Beaufort community. She wrote and compiled stories about all the good, avoiding the negative, and the response was tremendous.

She had already published two books in Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series about Isle of Palms and Port Royal. She was working at Hunting Island State Park as a naturalist when she decided that she missed writing, and moreover, realized she really enjoyed packaging words and images together to tell the story of a community.

At The Island News, Wendy was a cheerleader for Beaufort and wrote more than 100 articles about people and places North of the Broad.

About a year and a half ago, she decided she wanted to write and work on another book. So, she started brainstorming ideas.

Wendy is a coastal girl, born and raised in Mt. Pleasant, SC, and a resident of Beaufort since 1999.

Since her parents are from Anderson and Barnwell counties, she was also bred to be a “Southern” lady, learning from an early age to be respectful of her environment, her elders and her community. She was raised as most children are in the South — to be polite and to be proud.

She loves everything about growing up Southern and living life to its fullest. But Wendy said one day she found herself wondering, “What is it

meet the author at book signings Meet the Author at City Java for book signings on the mornings of October 15, 22 and 29, from 7 to 9 a.m., for Wednesdays with Wendy.

about the South?”

She pondered the question for a while. Is it the climate? Is it the people? Is it the slower pace of life?

Is it the food? She realized that, yes, these all defined this special place.

But the question, “What is it about the South?” was too profound to be answered with a single voice.

That was it. That was the next book.

Wendy, along with her publisher, Lydia Inglett, decided to compile essays from people of note across the South to answer that very question and unite their expressive words with stunning photography descriptive of the Southern region.

The name of the book? “SOUTH: What it means to be here in heart or

in spirit.” The title says it all.

SOUTH was officially launched Tuesday, October 7 at a party hosted

by Lowcountry Produce. Wendy, excited about the reality of her dream coming true, was all smiles.

“Besides graduating from Clemson and the birth of my two daughters, this day is the proudest of my life.

I realized what I wanted to do professionally, amidst some adversity in recent years, and did it,” she said.

Wendy has two daughters, Abbie in sixth grade and Julia in fourth grade at Lowcountry Montessori School.

“Being a good mom to Abbie and Julia is my first priority, always.

Watching them see this book come to

fruition is more gratifying to me than the book itself. They asked to bring the book to school to show their teachers and friends the day after I received my first copy. At that moment, I received my greatest reward for all of this hard work,” smiles Wendy.

This project was a labor of love for Wendy. She complied it in her spare time while working as the Marketing and Development Director for Friends of Caroline Hospice.

“I can’t thank Friends of Caroline Hospice enough for accommodating my schedule to give me the opportunity to pursue my dream. Without their support, I wouldn’t have been able to complete this project,” explains Wendy. “They are an organization near and dear to my heart and always will be.”

Last April, Wendy went on a trip she called her “Solo Southern Expedition,” meeting many of the contributors to SOUTH. She wanted to shake the hands of the folks who took the time to write meaningful and heartfelt essays about their hometowns.

“Meeting someone through email just isn’t the Southern way,” says Wendy.

In six days, she was in seven states across the South — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and back home to South Carolina. It was the trip of her lifetime, and she became even more aware about the South’s beauty, simplicity and grace.

She admits, however, that Beaufort is the most special of them all. Yes, because of the people. Yes, because of the landscape; and yes, because of the climate. But most of all, because it’s home.

school news

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

District SAT scores dip slightly, AP scores improve Average SAT scores of 2014 graduating seniors in the Beaufort County School District dropped slightly after a dramatic increase the previous year, the College Board reported this week. Scores improved on Advanced Placement (AP) exams that high school students take for college credit.

2014 SAT results Average 2014 SAT scores for Beaufort County public school seniors decreased by seven points, from 1,431 in 2013 to 1,424 in 2014. Scores the previous year had increased by 48 points.

Average scores at four of the district’s five high schools decreased, while scores at one increased: • Battery Creek High’s average was 1,280, down from 1,332 last year (57 percent tested).

• Beaufort High’s average was 1,403,

down from 1,419 last year (63 percent tested).

• Bluffton High’s average was 1,437, down from 1,471 last year (73 percent tested).

• Hilton Head Island High’s 2014 average was 1,477, down from 1,548 last year (75 percent of seniors tested).

• Whale Branch Early College High’s average was 1,246, up from 1,169 last year (57 percent tested).

Statewide, South Carolina’s overall 2014 state public school average was up six points to 1,429. The national average was down four points to 1,471.

Looking at five-year trend data, Beaufort County public school students’ average SAT score is up 36 points, from 1,388 for 2009 seniors to 1,424 for 2014 seniors.

Superintendent Jeff Moss continued

to stress preparation as the key to higher scores on college entrance exams.

“The SAT and ACT both let students know the courses that they need to complete prior to taking their exams,” Moss said. “Our guidance counselors make sure students know this because getting ready for college is all about preparation. If you take the right steps in high school, you’ll be ready to apply to college and succeed once you get there.”

2014 AP exam results Nearly half of the Beaufort County students who took Advanced Placement courses last school year scored high enough to earn college credit, according to 2014 data from the College Board.

District officials said they were encouraged by increases in the numbers of district high school students taking AP courses. For the 2013-14 school year,

1,749 AP exams were taken compared to 1,712 the previous year and only 966 five years ago.

“It’s significant when more students decide to take more challenging collegelevel academic courses, and yet their scores continue to improve,” Moss said.

Testing experts say that average scores tend to decrease when more students take the tests, but that hasn’t occurred in Beaufort County over the past five years.

AP courses — and the accompanying College Board exams that demonstrate mastery of the course material — let students earn college credit while still in high school. Last school year, 49 percent of Beaufort County’s AP students scored 3 or better on the tests’ five-point scale, qualifying them for college credit. That was up from 47 percent in 2012-13 and an up from 44 percent five years ago.

creating cave dwellings

22st Annual Ghost Tours to Benefit CAPA (Child Abuse

Prevention Association)

At Lady’s Island Middle School, Mrs. Johnson’s social studies class used deconstructed grocery bags and simulated cave dwellings that may have been seen thousands of years ago. Rhogue Wallace (at near left), a student of Mrs. Johnson, said that the project made him think about not having a real home and not staying in one place. It also got him thinking about the different kinds of weapons and healing practices. Clair Davies (pictured far left) said that she thought about how they got their tools and that they must have done a lot of hunting and gathering.

DATAW SPONSORS SAILING REGATTA The Dataw Island Yacht Club is sponsoring the fifth annual Dataw Island Cup sailing regatta on Saturday, October 25. This is a race for mono hull, displacement sailboats with PHRF ratings that are 18 feet long and over. The race, which is about 22 miles long, will start about noon in the Coosaw River just east of the Brickyards in the area of ICW Fl R “200” and G “201”.

The race course takes the fleet down the Coosaw River to St. Helena Sound, the boats will round G “11” in St Helena Sound to starboard and then proceed up the Morgan River to finish at Dataw Marina. Low tide is at about 4 p.m. in St. Helena Sound which means that there will be a favorable current for most of the race.

Over 20 have sailed in this event for the past several years. The fleet will be divided into two groups based on PHRF ratings, with the higher rated boats in one group, and the lower rated boats in the other group.

Keeper trophies will be awarded to each group. The overall winner of the Dataw Cup will be the boat with the fastest time from the two groups combined.

There is a skipper’s meeting and BYO cocktail party at 6 p.m. at the Gazebo at Dataw Marina on Friday, October 24; and an awards dinner, also at the Gazebo at Dataw Marina, starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night after the race. Visiting boats can stay at Dataw Marina for no charge Saturday night after the race. There is a $30 entry fee per boat ($35 if paid after October 13) to enter the regatta, and a $25 per person charge for the awards dinner.

arts&entertainment Penn Center presents ‘Art with a Conscience’ The social comment works of Ellen Zisholtz

“Art with a Conscience: The social comment works of Ellen Zisholtz” will be held Friday, October 10, at 6 p.m. at the York W. Bailey Museum at historic Penn Center on St. Helena Island.

Ellen Zisholtz, director and curator with I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium, is Assistant Professor at SC State University, an HBCU. Her recognitions include the Board for the Association of African American Museums; Governor’s Award for the Humanities; Alliance of Ethics and Art Unsung Hero of Civil Rights; and the Orangeburg Chapter of the Links community service in the arts award. Congressman James Clyburn presented her with the Award for Creativity at SC State. She was on the DC Host Committee for the dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and the planning committee for the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer.

Exhibitions include Art with a Conscience, York W.

Bailey Museum, Penn Center, 2014; Transcending Slavery and the Holocaust, Temple University Hillel;

shows in NYC in SOHO, 2008, and the New York State Exhibition at the Avante Gallery.

She studied at the Arts Students League, received her MA at NYU; her BA at City University of NY and served on the faculties of Rutgers and NYU. This exhibition is a part of Penn Centers 150th Anniversary Celebration. For more than 150 years, Penn Center, Inc., located on St. Helena Island, SC, has been at the epicenter of African American education, historic preservation and social justice for tens of thousands of descendants of formerly enslaved West Africans living in the Sea Islands, known as the Gullah Geechee people.

The Gullah people have continued to survive to today and represent the most tangible living example of one of the outcomes of the Port Royal Experiment, a plan by the federal government to “test the capabilities of the Negro for freedom and self-support” during the Civil War.

Urban Sophistication at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery The Red Piano Too Art Gallery’s Annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit featuring Mississippi artist Eric Jones in an exhibit titled “Urban Sophistication” will open with a Meet the Artist Reception on November 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will continue for the month of November.

Eric will be in the gallery on November 8 as well.

Eric Lamar Jones was born July 6, 1977 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he currently resides. During his thirty something years, however, he has also lived in Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, and New Orleans. He has worked as a carpenter, studio assistant, maintenance man and insurance agent. His journey as an artist began at his brother’s art gallery in Atlanta. That experience made the idea

of being an artist realistic and sustainable.

Describing himself as a self-taught artist but also a protégé of his late brother and mentor, William Tolliver, Eric attended the William Tolliver School of Fine Arts and worked as a studio assistant for Tolliver over a period of several years.

As he has aged, his passion for art has continued unchecked. He has obtained more knowledge and skill in the arts with every passing year.

The subject matter of Eric’s oil on canvas and pastel/acrylic works on paper are African American figures involved in the activities of daily life: working, loving, playing, music, and just living. Stylized, sometimes cubist, freestyle, the way they embody the emotion of the activity evokes the iconic or mythic. Eric embodies a

futuristic and contemporary style to his artwork.

Eric describes himself as “self-taught”, but he has had formal education in a number of schools such as the William Tolliver School of Art in Atlanta, GA; Bauder College, Atlanta, GA; and The International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, Fla. Eric’s works are strikingly reminiscent of that of his late brother, the highly accomplished artist William Tolliver.

Mary Mack says of the brothers, “I first met William Tolliver many years ago in the New Orleans Gallery Royale and immediately knew I had to own one of his works ... what a surprise to come across the works of his brother Eric Jones in 2010. I was struck by their stylistic simularity —

especially the beautiful abstract/cubist jazz musicians painted by both William and Eric.”

The Red Piano Too Art Gallery is honored to present the works of Eric Jones as the featured artist for this yearly event.

The Red Piano Too annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit is free and open to the public. Try not to miss this opportunity to meet an extraordinary artist.

The gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The gallery is located at 870 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920. For more information, contact the galley at 843838-2241, RedPianotoo@islc.net or online at www.RedPianotoo.com.

the indie film corner: ‘the trip to italy’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “The Trip to Italy” on Monday, October 13 at 7 p.m.

Director Michael Winterbottom’s largely improvised 2010 film, “The Trip,” took comedians Steve Cooga and Ro Brydon — or semifictionalized versions thereof — on a restaurant tour around northern England.

In this witty and incisive followup, Winterbottom

reunites the pair for a new culinary road trip, retracing the steps of the Romantic poets’ grand tour of Italy and indulging in some sparkling banter and impersonation-offs. Re-whetting our palates from the earlier film, the characters enjoy mouthwatering meals in gorgeous settings from Liguria to Capri while riffing on subjects as varied as Batman’s vocal register,

the artistic merits of “Jagged Little Pill,” and, of course, the virtue of sequels.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902. Contact the box office at 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.

Spend a day full of mystery at ARTworks Get into the spirit of Halloween early at ARTworks this Saturday, Oct. 11 with two murder mystery events.

From 2 to 6 p.m., Beaufort authors Jack Gannon and Cyndi WilliamsBarnier will be holding a book signing and conducting readings from their popular series of murder mystery novels. Then, at 7 p.m., ARTworks will present “Death of a Designing Diva”, an interactive murder mystery play where the audience gets to guess who they think the murderer is, the motive, and other crucial details before the final scene is played out.

Local authors Jack Gannon and Cyndi Williams-Barnier have completed four books together, so far, which form their “Task Force” series and are currently working on a fifth book in that series, as well as an historic book, a science fiction novel written in “B movie style”, and a Christmas-themed book set in Beaufort.

This prolific duo were best friends at Beaufort High School, where they dreamed about writing a best-selling novel together immediately after graduation.

After moving away from Beaufort and losing touch, Jack and Cyndi re-united 32 years later, thanks to Facebook, and in 2012 that dream became a reality when they self-published their first book, “Murder In Twos and Threes.” That book was the first in the “Task Force” series, made the Amazon best sellers list for five weeks in a row, and has now been picked up by PDMI Publishing, which is set to release both of their first two books with new covers and redesigned interiors, and also as Kindle versions. The publishing house has also agreed to release the rest of the pair’s books as well.

Since ARTworks was the site of the original “Murder In Twos and Threes” book release, Jack and Cyndi though that

it would be the perfect place to celebrate their new relationship with PDMI and the re-release of their first books, as well as letting Beaufort readers get a sneak peak at excerpts from their upcoming works.

“Death of a Designing Diva” is being directed by Sue Stanny as a fundraiser for ARTworks and will be performed by a cast that includes both professional and nonprofessional actors who are donating their time to the project. Auditions were held in late August, and since then the cast has been rehearsing weekly in preparation for amusing local audiences with this 1930s radio play style mystery.

There are several twists to the play that

will make it an unusual performance. First of all, the actors will stop the show before the final scene and allow the audience to break into teams which will decide who they think the murderer is and their motive. During this time, the audience will get to nibble hors d’oeuvres that are provided as part of the event. Lastly, even the cast doesn’t know who the murderer is.

When quizzed after rehearsal recently, cast member Ann Arrington said, “Sue doesn’t want us to know, so we’ll find out along with the audience, I guess.”

If you go: ARTworks is located at 2127 Boundary Street, in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza. Admission to the book signing/book reading is free.

Tickets for the murder mystery play can be purchased in advance from the ARTworks website or in person at the box office. The cost is $25 each.

Verdi’s opera based on Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’

By Alan Schuster

The USCB Center for the Arts presents “The MET: Live in HD” with Verdi’s opera based on Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 12:55 p.m.

“With Macbeth, Verdi takes an immense leap forward: away from the conventional demands of the time, and towards dramatic truth and a musical style which combines psychological depth with a continuing abundance of that prolific and individual melodic gift which was never to desert him.” Opera author Charles Osborne.

The world premiere of the opera took place in Florence in 1847. It was very well-received by the critics, but the best indication of its success came from the audience when there were 38 curtain calls for Verdi, more than there were for all the singers combined.

As for the present, the Met’s production of “Macbeth” has once again become a hit with critics and audiences alike. And almost all of the praise has been rendered to the super-diva, Anna Netrebko, as Lady Macbeth. Here are two notable quotables. The New York Times: “She is a soprano with star power in the best sense, a charismatic expressivity that pervades every element of her performance. The tour de force is the great sleep-walking scene.

Ms. Netrebko ... sang the music hauntingly, shifting from phrases of breathy delicacy to bursts of steely intensity.” And from

The Classical Review: “Ms. Netrebko grabbed the role by the throat and did not let go. Her sleep-walking scene was so compelling, so riveting, that we could almost see the imaginary blood on her hands.”

Act I: A prediction is made by witches to Scottish generals, Macbeth and Banquo, that Macbeth will become the next King of Scotland as well as Thane of Cawdor and that Banquo, son of the current king, will become the father to future kings. Soon, Macbeth is appointed Thane of Cawdor.

Lady Macbeth learns of the prophecy, but questions her husband’s will to take the throne. She encourages him to kill King Duncan, a guest at their castle, while he sleeps. He does.

The music: In a chilling duet “Fatal mia donna” (My fated lady) between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Verdi’s music and Shakespeare’s poetry combine to project drama of the highest order. Osborne adds that “If one can put one’s finger on a place in the score and say ‘Here is where Verdi lifts Italian opera out of its stagnant conventions,’ this is it.” Equally stunning is the finale with a tremendous chorus and ensemble vowing to punish King Duncan’s murderer.

Act II: Macbeth, now the king, remembers the witches’ prophesy and decides that Banquo and his children must be put to death. Banquo is killed

but his son escapes. During Macbeth’s accession banquet, Banquo’s ghost appears, frightening Macbeth. Lady Macbeth tries — but fails — to distract the guests.

The music: Lady Macbeth sings a finelycrafted aria, “The light is fading,” and later joins Macbeth in a magnificent banquet scene in which she leads guests in a rousing drinking song, frequently interrupted by Macbeth’s chilling visions of Banquo’s ghost.

Act III: Macbeth re-visits the witches, learning that no man “born of woman” will ever harm him. Another warns him about Macduff, and a third says that no harm will come to him until Birnam Wood moves toward him. When Macbeth sees a vision of eight kings pass before his eyes, the last of which is Banquo’s ghost, he collapses. Soon, Lady Macbeth finds him and they make plans to kill Banquo’s son, and Macduff ’s family.

The music: This brief act includes an impressive witches scene, both for the orchestration and the dramatic melodies they support. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth sing a stressful duet: “The hour of death and vengeance,” a fine piece, but one that falls a bit short of the dynamic duet of act one.

Act IV: Macduff plans revenge, learning that his family has been killed.

Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking, imagining blood on her hands and the murders that

they have committed. After learning of his wife’s death, Macbeth waits for the advance of his enemies. Fearfully, he sees Birnam Wood approaching (actually soldiers camouflaged with branches), but then recalls that no man “born of woman” can hurt him. Macduff arrives, telling Macbeth that he was not born naturally, leading to a duel which Macduff wins. He then proclaims Duncan’s son Malcolm, as the new king of Scotland.

The music: Two fine choruses open and close the act. First and foremost is “Patria oppressa”, sung menacingly by the Scottish clansmen. Moments later, Lady Macbeth’s insinuating sleep-walking scene unravels, being both a soprano’s highlight as well as another Verdi salute to Shakespeare’s poetry. The “Victoria” chorus — including all those who are still alive — makes for a decisively strong finish.

Joining Ms. Netrebko will be baritonebass Zeljko Lucic (last season’s outstanding Rigoletto) as Macbeth; bass Rene Pape as Banquo and Joseph Calleja as Macduff.

Fabio Luisi conducts.

Next performance will be Mozart’s comic masterpiece “Marriage of Figaro,” Saturday, Oct. 18.

All seats are general admission.

Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10. Or order online at www. uscbcenterforthearts.com. Box office opens at noon or call 843-521-4145.

Seafood Celebration marks Gullah/Geechee Heritage Month As the Gullah/Geechee Nation concludes the commemoration of “Middle Passage Month,” the leaders now prepare for a month of celebration.

October marks the second “Gullah/ Geechee Heritage Month.” As the Gullah/Geechee proverbs states, “De Wata Bring We,” so what greater way to celebrate the living traditions of the Gullah/Geechee heritage than at a day on the water way in celebration of the sea work traditions that are being continued through the Gullah/ Geechee Fishing Association.

To that end, the Gullah/Geechee Fishing Association and the Gullah/ Geechee Sea Island Coalition will host the 3rd “Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival” at the Hunting Island Nature Center on Saturday, October 25 from noon to 6 p.m. Admission is free.

Dinners are $10 per plate. Parking at Hunting Island is $5 per car which allows access to the beach also. The event will go on rain or shine.

This year, the “Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival” highlights include a presentation by Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation who is a founding member and officer of the

Gullah/Geechee Fishing Association; art at the beach with St. Helena Island native and painter Saundra Renee Smith; A Soulful Touch Wellness healing massages and herb teas; Naturally Geechee body products; and numerous Gullah/Geechee fishing tradition demonstrations including crab trap and cast net making and casting. Gullah/Geechee cuisine will be served throughout the day and can be enjoyed during the screening of the film, “Come Hell or High Water” which shows a community in Mississippi that is faced with the same types of issues of displacement as those that the Gullah/ Geechee Nation has fought.

The“Gullah/Geechee Seafood Festival” at the Hunting Island Nature Center’s Paradise Pier allows for intergenerational interactive activities all day. So, supporters are encouraged to bring out their fishing and crabbing gear. Walking tours of the beach and marsh way and the interpretive center at the pier will go on throughout the day.

YMCA presents ‘Live It! Love It!’ seminar The Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County will host “Live It! Love It! Senior Wellness Celebration” on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Y, located at 1801 Richmond Avenue in Port Royal. The public is invited to join their choice of the Deep Water Hydrobics class starting at 10 a.m. or the “Fit Over Fifty” fitness class at 10:30 a.m. Then join certified personal trainer Bruce McCarthy for his seminar, “A Balancing Act: Fall Prevention and Stability” at 11:25 a.m., followed by music, light refreshments and more from 12:30 to 1 p.m. You do not need to be a member of the YMCA to attend.

Physical fitness for those age 50 and better is extremely important. Not only does regular exercise significantly decrease the chances of developing type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis, it is also an excellent way to banish the blues.

YMCA Wellness Director Denice Davis says,“When you exercise, your body releases endorphins which

help to alleviate anxiety and sadness.” By exercising regularly, you can keep your weight down which means less stress on your knees, hips, and lower back.

“I’m inspired every day to see firsthand how exercise — no matter if it’s yoga, cardio, water aerobics or a combination — enhance the lives of our older Y members. Group exercise really encourages them to step out of their box and bring excitement and fun into their lives.” Davis added.

Research has also shown that exercise helps to lessen dementia and to improve memory as well.

During the stability class, led by Bruce McCarthy, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the risks of falls, prevention, safety, and balance exercises.

McCarthy holds specializations in both Senior Fitness and Weight Loss and is proficient in fitness assessments and program designs with concentrations in stability and balance.

If you are interested in more information about this

event, please contact Denice Davis at 843-522-9622.

This program is free and open to the public.

The YMCA of Beaufort County is part of a 256 year old worldwide organization that enables the citizens of Beaufort County to develop values and behaviors that are consistent with our mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County was charted in 1990 and opened its doors in June 1996. The YMCA is a locally autonomous organization made up of voluntary membership that is open to individuals of all ages, race, religion, incomes and abilities. Programs and services incorporate the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility and the YMCA encourages and challenges its staff, members, volunteers and program participants to accept and demonstrate these values.

Plaque to honor Marines at Yemassee Train Depot On June 26, 1891, a small detachment of U.S. Marines was sent to Parris Island.

On June 11, 1911, the recruit depot came into operation based on a three-company contingent. With World War I raging, the recruit depot underwent a massive expansion.

In 1915, the hamlet of Yemassee opened its doors to young recruits arriving by train, coming from the farms, hills, and cities

all over the eastern half of the country.

These young men were on their way to a life-changing experience at Parris Island.

More than 500,000 recruits, who passed through the train depot, were trained to be the best fighting force in the world.

Close to 50,000 Marines gave their lives to protect and preserve our freedom and way of life. Those who have fallen will forever be on “eternal patrol” — Semper Fi.

In 2002, Roy Hughes, a local business man, thought something should be done for these young men who gave up the best years of their lives. He, with some friends, formed the “Yemassee Train Depot Marine Reunion.” With a lot of research and some hard work, the reunion got on track. Now in its 12th year, the reunion is planning to install a bronze plaque on the outside wall of the train depot for all to see.

Big Rug

This plaque will honor the U. S. Marines who came to Parris Island via train.

The unveiling of the plaque will take place on Friday, October 17, at 2 p.m. at the Yemassee train depot. The public is invited to this historic Marine event.

Due to an expected large turnout, seating will be available for dignitaries and the handicapped only. For more information, call Roy at 843-589-3385.

wine

Lucky to find Left Coast Cellars wine

By Celia Strong

Every once in a while you get lucky.

For some people, “once in a while” comes more often than it does for others. But, sometimes, “once in a while” is worth the wait especially when the lucky wine that comes along is way, way better than a normal “once in a while” piece of luck.

This week’s wine is good enough to be one of the best pieces of luck for a whole year.

We’re going to Oregon this week.

This Pacific-Northwest state has a solid reputation, in the United States and around the world, for excellent wines. Even though grape growing and winemaking date back to the 1840’s, real commercial production began in the 1960’s. There are now over 400 wineries in Oregon, with more than 20,000 acres of vineyards. A huge tourism business has grown up around them. More than $100 million dollars are made every year from the Oregon wine industry and its tourists.

Oregon wines are sold as varietals, meaning they are labeled for the grape variety in them. While the rest of the states producing wine in this country follow the federal 75 percent minimum law, Oregon, for most of its wines, requires 90 percent. That means a California Pinot Noir has to be made from a minimum 75 percent Pinot Noir.

An Oregon Pinot Noir has to be at least 90 percent. (Because I know someone will ask, the Oregon 90 percent law does not apply to red and white Bordeaux varieties, red and white Rhône varieties, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Zinfandel and Tannat. All good grapes, but not the ones Oregon is known for.) Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay are, by far, Oregon’s better grapes. The Oregon climate and soil are both well suited to these varieties.

There are three main, and large, AVAs in Oregon. The Willamette Valley AVA, the Southern Oregon AVA and the Columbia Gorge AVA, part of which is in Washington state. With over 5,000 square miles, the Willamette Valley AVA is the largest in the state and has more than half of the state’s 400 wineries located in it. These wines can get expensive but that’s what happens

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

Our winery this week is Left Coast Cellars from the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

They use almost only estate grown grapes and specialize in single vineyard wines.

Their two featured wines are Left Coast Cali’s Cuvée Pinot Noir and Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay. when an area has a reputation for some of the best Pinot Noirs in the world.

The Willamette Valley is located in northwestern Oregon where the majority of the state’s population live. In the 1820’s, the valley was widely touted as a “promised land” mainly because of the richness of its soil. Oregon City, in the valley, was the destination for many covered wagon trains. When reports of the Lewis and Clark Expedition were published, about 1807, a steady stream of settlers began to flow into the valley.

Fur traders and mountain men came.

During the 1820’s and 1830’s, the Hudson Bay Company controlled the fur trade, not just in the Willamette Valley, but in the whole of Oregon. In 1841, when the Oregon Trail “opened,” it was a road wide enough for all types of wagons and lorries, and many people came to the West Coast.

The Willamette Valley is surrounded by mountain ranges on the east, west

“Now could be a very good time to buy a home”

and south. The valley floor is wide and flat and very fertile. Ice age floods filled the valley with rich soils swept up into swollen rivers. About 40 times, probably. This left the Willamette Valley layered with alluvial soils, rich volcanic and glacial soils — all great for grape growing. This soil is about a half mile deep now. The climate in the valley is characterized by cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. A cooler, slightly wetter version of a Mediterranean climate. The growing season is long, 150 to 180 days. (Normal is 110 to 130 days.) This is a cooler climate than in California. There are six AVA subregions within the Willamette Valley AVA: Chehalem Mountains AVA, Dundee Hills AVA, Eola-Amity Hills AVA, McMinnville AVA, Ribbon Ridge AVA, and the Yamhill-Carlton District AVA. Left Coast Cellars is our winery.

Founded in 2003, Left Coast uses almost only estate grown grapes.

They make Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and Syrah; many of these are grown on Oregon’s 45th parallel. Left Coast owns just over 350 acres, 130 of them planted with grapes. They specialize in single vineyard wines and emphasize sustainable farming and balancing everything with nature.

This week we will learn about two of their wines available in South Carolina. The first variety is the best from Oregon, the Left Coast Cali’s Cuvée Pinot Noir. This is not a single vineyard wine, but a blend of grapes

from all their Pinot Noir plantings, named for the owner’s daughter. The blend is very diverse, though. Different clones of Pinot Noir, different sites for growing, at different elevations with different exact soil types — all things that make subtle nuances in their grapes.

All things that give us layers and layers of textures and flavors in our glasses of this wine. It is full of ripe plum and cherry flavors, and mix in floral notes and a bit of spiciness. This wine’s texture is easy and smooth, and lush at the same time.

Less than 9,000 cases of Cali’s wine are made each year. This is truly one of those Pinots that should cost more.

Our second wine is the Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay. This is a blend of three different Dijon clones of Chardonnay, fermented and aged in French oak. One hundred percent Chardonnay. It is spicy, toasty, clean and crisp and minerally. Lime and pear and green apple flavors lead a long list of others. Tasted in a line of multiple other wines, this Chardonnay stands out.

Sipping some at home from a nice glass is a major treat, a rare treat, since only 511 cases were made. But we are lucky because these wines are now available here in South Carolina.

Now that we know about these wines, and how good they are, it will be exciting to know that each bottle costs only $19.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

Also, Left Coast Cellars is in the running for Winery of the Year, so we wish them the best of luck. And feel lucky enjoying our “once in a while” wine.

Enjoy.

By Lee Scott

MAGELLAN AND ME

We had the opportunity recently to go off for a day on the water with a group of people from a local boating club. Our 22-foot power boat is a great vehicle to tour the Lowcountry islands and to spend a day with new friends.

The six boat caravan rendezvoused in the Morgan River and headed toward the Atlantic Ocean. It was a beautiful, sunny day with calm water. We had our Garmin GPS chart plotter running so we could identify the marks and rivers along the way. We rounded Green Can 9 on the St. Helena Sound and headed for the swing bridge going into Harbor River.

The 15 foot clearance was enough for us to go under but we had to wait as the bridge opened and a couple of the taller boats went through. Then it was on to

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, Lee 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.

Story River towards Trenchards Inlet.

The scenery was captivating with large houses sitting out on small islands in the middle of green marshland and long docks leading out from hidden hunting cabins. The wildlife was everywhere and the dolphins played on our wake.

When we reached our destination near Bull Point, we anchored the boat and everyone broke out their chairs and

food. After a while, we noticed black clouds slowly coming at us from Hilton Head Island. As the clouds approached, the two of us agreed that we should head home since this was our first time exploring the area. We did not want to get caught in a squall. The rest of the group stayed put and did not seem too concerned.

Once again we were fascinated by the

scenery and failed to notice the depth sounder and the declining numbers until it was almost too late. My boat’s captain, Magellan, who has raced sailboats in the ocean and gone up and down the coast, suddenly slowed the boat to a crawl and said, “Oops, I’m not paying attention!”

According to our electronic gadget we were deep into marshland and almost aground. Thank goodness for high tide.

Once we got back out into St. Helena Sound, we were in good shape but the storm was moving towards Beaufort. We timed it perfectly so that just as we were coming into our creek, the clouds opened up and we got soaked! On the other hand, the group we left behind had a pleasant day of sunshine and fellowship.

Next time, me and Magellan are going to trust the locals.

Just a little letter to let you know the kids are all right Dear Mom, Last weekend brought the first truly cold evening and as I snuggled into my flannel pajama pants, I thought of you.

This month is both of our birthdays and I remember picking and carving pumpkins and getting ready for my favorite holiday, Halloween.

It’s such a busy time of year and we have so much going on just at our house. The big news is that Selah started walking, and now she can’t be stopped. At 14 months, she’s as feisty and independent as ever, and she looks like a Mini Me, fat cheeks and all. It seems obvious that the sassy gene you passed down to me will live on for another generation, and also that we are totally in for it if she grows up to be anything like her stubborn mama and headstrong grandma.

What can I say about Wolfe? He’s

Pam’s P.O.V.

2 and a half and way too smart for his own good. He’s quite the character and Pamela Brownstein is a 5-foot-tall Scorpio jokester and makes us laugh often. Not who adores Beaufort. Contact her at going to lie, he’s going through a bit of theislandnews@gmail.com. the Terrible Two’s as far as pushing boundaries (which he does well and I’d like to think you’re looking down on often) but his fun, vivacious personality makes up for the sometime naughty us and can see your grandkids. They are, behavior. He loves music and his guitar like, everything you could hope for — silly and his tastes range from The Avett and smart and active and sweet (and also demanding and exhausting. Why didn’t Brothers to Katy Perry.

Daniel and I are doing well, too. We you ever tell me kids were so much work?) still like to watch our family shows Sometimes I hope you’re not watching us, “Survivor” and “Amazing Race” together, especially when I’m tired or impatient and and most days are divided up into work the kids are fussy or whiny and something and taking care of little kids. Earlier will happen, like the cat puking on the in the year I was doing really good carpet, that will just send me over the edge exercising and eating right, but recently and I either freak out at any unsuspecting I have fallen off the healthy bandwagon animal or human in my path or go lay and increased my workload and overall on my bed and close my eyes and wish the day was over. I guess every mom has feel like a crazy person.

moments like that, and it’s during those times I wish I could talk to you most. We would have long conversations like we used to, and then you would try to give me advice and I would get mad and defensive and sometimes even hung up the phone because I didn’t want to listen to your help.

Ha, just thinking of how I used to act like such a brat makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I’m sad because I’m sorry for putting you through such hell (especially as a teenager). And I’m laughing because it’s not until now, with my own kids, that I can understand what you must have been going through but will never be able to say thank you for everything you gave me and all the love you bestowed on me, even when I didn’t deserve it. I hope to be half as good a mom to my kids that you were to me. I miss you and love you.

Always, Pamela

enter the ‘it can wait’ writing contest The S.C. Press Association and participating S.C. newspapers are challenging Palmetto State high school students to write an essay, editorial or opinion column that highlights the dangers of texting while driving. The statewide winner will receive a $500 prize underwritten by AT&T. Texting while driving is an epidemic. More than 100,000 crashes a year involve drivers who are texting, often causing life-changing injuries and deaths. Despite knowing the risks of texting while driving, 43% of teens admit to texting while driving. However, there is an opportunity to change this behavior. Ninety percent of teen drivers say they would stop if a friend in the car asked them and 78% said they are likely not to text and drive if friends tell them it is wrong. Write an essay, editorial or opinion column that answers the question, “Why is it important to take the it can wait pledge to never text and drive?” Your piece should highlight the dangers of texting while driving. The piece must include the following call to action, “Take the pledge to never text and drive at ItCanWait.com.” Entries should be between 300 and 500 words long and must be typed. Please email entries to The Island News at theislandnews@gmail.com before Oct. 13. Local winners will be announced Oct. 23.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

When a treat is really a treat BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

To our dogs, food is love — and security, affirmation, and reinforcement.

When we give our dogs what I call “highvalue” treats — foods that are especially sweet, meaty, and yummy-smelly — the message we want to deliver transports to them through the treat especially loud and clear. From a trainer’s viewpoint, I am ever appreciative of the ability of yummies to “classically condition” a dog to tolerate, and then even enjoy, circumstances that he previously found unsettling, frightening or threatening.

It’s good to reward our dogs for a job well done. Plus, it’s fun for us to feed our dog friends something they’re crazy about.

The down side is that treats are probably the most likely of all dogrelated items that we buy impulsively because the labels are so cute and the names are so clever. We don’t even think to glance at the ingredients. I would hope by now, faithful readers, that you routinely flip over any dog product bag to read the ingredient list, ever searching for the very best for your Best Friend. It would be counterproductive to spend time and energy finding (or making) the best healthy food for your dog if you’re going to trash your own efforts at health building with low-quality, additivefilled junk food treats. Read the label.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find treats for your pet that do not contain stuff that is

not good for him including artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.

Healthy treats do not contain: Artificial colors: Dogs are somewhat aesthetically challenged: they don’t care whether their food is brown or blue. Artificial colors are absolutely unnecessary.

Artificial or low-quality palatability enhancers: Avoid treats that use salt as a flavor-enhancer as well as treats that contain corn syrup, sucrose or ammoniated glycyrrhizin (a licorice derivative) and artificial flavorings like barbecue or smoke flavor. Dogs are not as swayed as we are by the mysteries of barbeque and hickory.

Chemical preservatives: BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin, potassium sorbate, sodium nitrate and calcium propionate are chemical antioxidants added to foods to extend shelf life and reduce fat spoilage. These chemicals are responsible for the “natural bacon-y” texture of some doggy treats and the reason why, if you left a bacon-treat on the dashboard of your car it would still be “bacon-y” pliable a year later.

and BHT are also used to preserve carpet. The FDA (U.S Food and Drug Administration) regulates ethoxyquin as a pesticide and prohibits its use in human foods. However, it continues to be used in pet foods. Propylene glycol is such a uniquely nasty chemical preservative that it requires it’s own call-out. It is used in pet snacks (and some human foods) to keep them moist and chewy, and to prevent discoloration in preserved meats. It’s also used as the main ingredient in deodorant sticks, tattoo ink, and is used in newer automotive antifreezes and de-icers used at airports. An interesting use for this chemical is to create artificial smoke for theatrical productions and training exercises for firefighters.

Healthy treats contain: Whole-food ingredients: This means whole grains rather than grain “fractions” — wheat rather than wheat flour, wheat bran or wheat starch. Look for whole, named meats or meat meals — chicken, chicken meal — rather than by-products, unnamed sources (“animal” protein) or fragments. Byproducts and fragments of what animal would be my first question.

Natural preservatives: Vitamins C and E (the latter is often listed as “mixed tocopherols”) are effective and safe preservatives. Some treats contain no preservatives at all.

Natural sweeteners: Applesauce, molasses or honeys are better than artificial sweeteners, by far. While dog food should not contain added sweeteners, a treat should still be a treat.

A piece of baked sweet potato should be all the sweet a dog needs.

A treat for your dog should be a treat from all angles. Tasty, occasional, a little out of the ordinary and fun. Try this: Next time you eat an apple, bite off a chunk and hand it to your dog. Guaranteed he’ll like that better than anything that comes in a plastic container.
