eaufort County residents and businesses are asked to join forces last week to “pack the bus” with school supplies for students in need.

Among the event’s supporters are Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, Sodexo Food Services and Durham School Services. Individuals and groups dropped off school supplies at the Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Health Services.

Useful items that were donated are No. 2 pencils, scissors, filler paper, spiral notebooks, composition books, colored pencils, hand sanitizer, crayons, backpacks, markers, calculators, pens, highlighters, pocket folders, glue sticks, erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners, pencil cases, index cards, protractors, three-ring binders, dividers, ear buds, composition paper, zip-lock plastic bags, paper towels and facial tissue.

Chief Student Services Officer Gregory McCord said, “We had a tremendous response from the community and our business partners, too. The bus was chock-full of basic school supplies, not to mention about 750 backpacks that we were able to give to students at last weekend’s big Back-to-School Expo at Battery Creek High. We had more than a thousand people at the expo.”

Vietnam Veterans Celebration at Waterfront Park Story and photos by Bob Sofaly

The Healing Heroes of the Lowcountry Fund hosted the inaugural Vietnam Veterans Celebration on Saturday, August 8, at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. About 700 people crowded into the waterfront park to honor Vietnam War Veterans of all branches of the military for their service and sacrifices to our country during a difficult era in our history, according to Donnie Beer, chairperson of the Healing Heroes of the Lowcounty Fund.

“I was extremely pleased with the turnout”, Beer said. “The number of veterans who showed up with their families made all our work worthwhile.”

The Parris Island Marine Band, along with the Sweetgrass Angels and other local talent performed during the celebration.

How to get the absolute freshest produce without picking it yourself Just off of Highway 21 going into Beaufort, past Spanish moss draped trees and down a winding, country road, you’ll find a South Carolina tradition that’s been thriving for well over 100 years. Rest Park Farm is a family owned and operated produce farm in Seabrook, SC, that’s been passed down through the McCleod family since 1884.

Rest Park Farm is the home of Pinckney’s Produce, the largest Community Supported Agriculture program in South Carolina. Urbie West and his son Ashby took on this unique model of providing their freshly grown produce to South Carolina families in 2011.

A “CSA” as it’s called, operates based on customers pre-ordering their “share” in the farm. By purchasing your share of the crops they grow in December, Urbie and Ashby are able to order and plant seed, tend to the land, and prepare crops in a sustainable way that helps keep the farm thriving and your kitchen stocked with fresh produce come April. Once the harvest is underway, the West family delivers these shares to their members on a weekly basis. Pinckney’s Produce serves the Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Charleston, Summerville, Orangeburg and greater Columbia areas.

Since 2011, the West family has served 400 - 800 families each season.

There are two growing seasons per year, spring and fall. Each season is usually 12 weeks long. During those 12 weeks, members receive a once-weekly delivery of their share of the harvest for that week. Most weeks have at least 6 - 12 different items, and all items are grown by the Wests, and are harvested and packed the day before members receive them. This labor-intensive model ensures a superior quality product, longer shelf life, higher nutrient content and better tasting produce.

Members then head to their chosen drop site on their designated pick up day, take their boxes home, and enjoy them until next week’s delivery. Pinckney’s Produce even provides clean, bright green boxes for members to exchange

art director weekly to add to the convenience of getting your produce.

Their Membership Coordinator, Katie Thompson, has also been with the program since 2011. She searches diligently for recipes to help members make the most of their boxes each week. Every Monday, Urbie sends out an email updating members on what’s in harvest that week, and sends along several recipes, as well as crop updates, and member photos and contributions from their very active social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

While Pinckney’s Produce was originally started in Holly Hill, SC in 2009 by another father and son team from the Thompson family, the Wests have carried on the tradition and have helped grow the program by providing longer and better growing seasons with their coastal location in Seabrook.

While members sign up to take on the risk and rewards of Mother Nature with supporting the farm this way, Pinckney’s Produce has had twelve very successful harvest seasons and are preparing for their thirteenth harvest this fall.

The season will start with all of your summer favorites, such as melons, sweet corn, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and more. Once the weather starts to cool, you’ll see more hearty varieties such as lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, cabbage, and root

vegetables such as turnips, rutabagas, and sweet potatoes. Pinckney’s also usually partners with another local farm to provide pumpkins each fall.

Pinckney’s have planted over fortyfive different varieties of vegetables in anticipation for a great harvest this fall.

There is still time to join the fall season for Pinckney’s Produce. You can choose from a selection of share sizes and also the 12 week or 4 week delivery option.

Pinckney’s offers small, medium, large, and extra-large sized shares, with their medium share being the most popular and their member’s best value for families of two to four people.

Their 12 week fall season runs September 15th - December 11th, with a delivery each week except for the week of Thanksgiving. There are also three smaller 4-week “Sessions” that member can sign up for if they’d like a small commitment. These smaller sessions run Weeks 1 - 4, Weeks 5 - 8, and Weeks 9 - 12. There is also a small delivery fee of $2 per week for each share delivered more than 35 miles from the farm to help offset gas and maintenance fees for their refrigerated delivery truck.

Joining Pinckney’s Produce is easy, just log onto PinckneysProduce.com and follow the prompts to sign up for your share of some of the freshest SC grown produced delivered to you weekly.

The Time Has Come to lose weigh & get fit. Really!

By Molly Ingram, Editor in Chief Where to begin? When I moved to Beaufort, I had a plan. The plan was to walk the dogs early. Feed them.

Go to the gym and workout, shower and run errands.

That was the plan. It was time to get back in shape and maybe, lose some of the weight I have put on over the last couple of years. You ask “How’s the plan working?”

Great, except for two things. I have yet to go to the gym and I haven’t lost a pound since I arrived in shrimp and grits country.

I was sitting at my desk about two weeks ago reading all the press releases that come into the paper and one of them caught my eye. It was about a new program developed by the trainers at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center. They were announcing a new program called Body Makeover. I could do with one of those I thought. It is a combination of nutrition advice from a Registered Dietician about how to develop a sustainable eating plan and an exercise program selected and monitored by a personal trainer. All of this is accomplished in a small group setting working with a group leader who is dedicated to helping you reach to your goals.

As I read the release a small voice in my head started with a litany of why this might work --moving to Beaufort was a new beginning for me, I was working part-time, and I was really tired of wearing clothes that were just “fine” rather than fabulous. I know I can’t do the weight/fitness thing alone. I have tried that and it just doesn’t work for me. And by nature, I am kind of a loner when it comes to this stuff. I hate asking for help but I know I need to ask for help with this.

A little background. I have always battled my weight.

As soon as I lose some weight, I put it back on plus 10 lbs. just for good measure. I would kid with people that if I walked past a bakery I would put on 5 lbs. It probably doesn’t help that McDonalds is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. No, I clearly don’t have a sophisticated palate. Food basically bores me silly.

And I don’t mind cooking but doing it for one person (I’m single) is just a waste of time and energy.

I come from a family of tall people. Dad was 6’1”, Mom was about 5’8”, my younger brother is 6’ on the nose and my younger sister is about 5’7”. I got my grandmother’s genes and hit my tallest point of 5’4½” in 8th grade and I have been shrinking ever since to a height today of 5’3”. My grandmother was a wonderful lady we called Mimi. And she was short and round which is how I tend to describe myself. And to add

insult to injury, my niece and nephews call me Aunt Short Stuff up until about one month before Christmas when they move into “suck up” mode.

I have been thin (by popular definition) a couple of times in my life. One time before I was in my best friend’s wedding in Richmond (where I grew up); I went on a very successful diet of Vienna Finger cookies and Diet Pepsi. I would ration out the cookies throughout the day. That probably makes nutritionists roll over in their graves.

When I was a lot older, I went to a very famous and fancy doctor in New York who put me on his special plan which included specific foods and a smattering of drugs, one of which was a serious hunger suppressant.

I doubt if it was FDA approved, but this guy got results. I lost 80 lbs. in 6 months and I looked and felt great. Unfortunately, I had to have some emergency surgery unrelated to the weight issue and afterwards I just stopped losing weight even though I was still on his plan. My doctor said that my metabolism had stopped because of the anesthesia which I guess is fairly common and he would work with me to get it going again. Phew. Disaster averted for me. But, unfortunately he had a heart attack and died…. definitely bad for him but way worse for me, or so I thought. And I put the weigh back on again.

I go up in weight and then I go down. Then I go up and then I go down. I know many of you can relate to this phenomenon which is called yo-yoing.

It is just so hard to keep the motivation going all the time even when you aren’t seeing any results. And I don’t particularly care about food. So why do I eat?

Boredom mostly. Or I think I should eat something so I won’t be hungry …at night…during a meeting… before I go to the grocery store. Fill in the blank.

So why am I sharing all of this personal history with you? Because I decided the time had finally come when I had to be a grown-up and deal with being overweight once and for all. And it is a grown-up thing. Intellectually I know what the issues are, what my triggers are, and all the excuses I have used for years.

I have read about weight loss for all my adult years and I know how much better my health will be with a few pounds off this old body of mine. I am sure I must be close to diabetes and I have had asthma and high blood pressure all my life. All of those things would become a non-issue if I could figure out a way to live a healthier lifestyle. I currently have the time to devote to this

Molly’s journey to a healthier lifestyle endeavor and I think I now have the determination to see it through.

So I called up the Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center, set up an interview and went over to see what this program was all about. What a beautiful facility they offer right across the street from the hospital. After meeting some of the trainers and administrators I decided to take the plunge and sign up.

Then, I honestly thought I would have a panic attack.

What had I just done? Am I totally nuts? But I can’t think of a reason not to do it. So off I go. It begins on August 20th and I decided to add a little incentive for myself as I will write a kind of a travel blog for the paper once a month. My plan is to share the good, the bad, and the totally disastrous with you. Because, honestly, if I can do this, so can you. If my journey can inspire just one other person to make a commitment and take the plunge, then I have done a good job.

My goals are twofold: to lose some weight (not tons) and to get fitter than I am right now – which, since I am totally and completely unfit right now, should provide lots of room for improvement. I am going to have realistic expectations for a change and try to be ”in the moment” when it comes to eating. And no, there will be no public before and after pictures published in the paper. When you run into me at the hardware store you can decide for yourself if my plan worked.

So wish me luck and determination to make this successful. By Christmas, I plan to have a Body Madeover. And this year Santa is getting sugar free cookies.

They’ll be good for both of us!

Tips for Feeling Better Simply Won’t Work You know all that advice and those suggestions that you seek and receive from your doctor, therapist, coach, nutritionist, or personal trainer in an effort to feel better? What about the valuable information gleaned from books, diets, articles, Facebook posts, and classes that you have immersed yourself in as an attempt to lose weight or look younger?

The truth is none of it will work….if you don’t actually do what is recommended!

And, no it still won’t work if you only ‘try’ it once or every now and again. Authentic change comes from consistent action, meaning you have to do it for it to actually have a benefit. And the crazy thing is none of it is hard or rocket science, yet for those who have resistance towards change, it can feel downright impossible.

When you think about many of the suggestions and advice that is handed out freely from doctors, teachers, healers and guides, most of it is quite simple, such as eating foods that are grown rather than made in a lab, hydrating with real water, moving the body in a way that brings

AWAKENINGS

opportunity to share tricks and tools of my own that I have picked up over the TEACHINGS FROM last 20 years. The difference between MARTHA O’REGAN those who end up feeling better and those who don’t is the amount of commitment Martha O’Regan, towards the exercises and homework Embodiment Coach for the Awakened Shift Head, between sessions. Those that are truly supporting those who are tired motivated by a desire to feel better will of ‘thinking’ their way to health, happiness and do the work and receive the results. For success and ready for a Shift of Heart. Contact her some folks, it takes more loving badgering at martha@bestlifebydesign.net to discover just how easy it can be to Create Your BEST Life…By to get them to do a few simple little Design. www.bestlifebydesign.net exercises. But when they do, they report ‘hey those tricks really work…and they were so easy’….huh, who knew?

So, if you are one of those folks who is ease and enjoyment, using the breath to shift a moment of stress, or choosing always looking ‘out there’ for a complicated relationships that nurture. It is amazing ‘quick fix’, I am going to lovingly badger that we live in a culture that wants a ‘quick you to consider going about it a new way fix’ for everything, yet advice that is too for a little while. Take a few moments simple gets dismissed. It seems that for to consider an area of your life that you something to work, we believe it must know you could do differently to create a be complicated, expensive or take a long positive change in how you feel each day. time.

Being in conversation daily with folks a specific food group, substituting a soda who desire to feel better, allows me the for a glass of water, or turning off the

technology at 8 p.m. and allowing some time to clear your mind before bed so your body can rest. All simple things that require consistent action to create change.

Next, think about some of the suggestions or advice you have received from your respected resources. What are some common themes? What are your common excuses? What if you just followed one piece of advice for 7 days just to see what happens? Take the time to jot down how you are currently feeling and how you would like to feel. Then, after the 7 days of committed action, jot down how you feel and compare it to your starting point. Chances are something will be different which will in turn, motivate you to either continue or to take on a different area of your life or lifestyle.

Remember you are a steward of the body that carries around your spirit each day, so be gentle and kind to yourself as you commit to creating change, one simple step at a time. Live Awake!

Is it Time for You to Have Cataract Surgery?

MARK S. SIEGEL, MD, FAAO

Dr. Mark Siegel is the Medical Director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology. Learn more at www.seaislandophthalmology.com or 843-525-1500.

A cataract diagnosis does not typically mean that surgery is required immediately. Cataracts occur as part of the body’s natural aging process and may not change vision significantly in the early stages. Small cataractrelated changes may be improved with prescription glasses. But as the cataracts continue to mature over time, they may cause vision loss that can interfere with activities of daily living.

Although the prospect of cataract surgery can be intimidating, the procedure itself is the most common elective surgery among Medicare beneficiaries in the United States. Multiple studies have demonstrated that cataract surgery can lead to improved quality of life, reduced risk of falling and fewer car crashes. In addition, one study found that those who had cataract surgery had a 40 percent lower long-term mortality risk than those who did not.

The following four questions can help you determine whether or not you’re ready for cataract surgery:

8

Are your cataracts impacting your daily or occupational activities?

Symptoms of cataracts include dim, blurry or yellowed vision and can even cause double vision in one eye. The lack of contrast and clarity can be difficult for those who need clear vision for work, driving or for those who enjoy hobbies like reading, cooking or sewing.

Are your cataracts affecting your ability to drive safely at night?

Cataracts can cause halos around lights and difficulty seeing in low-light settings, which can impact the ability to safely drive at night. Advanced cataracts can even cause enough vision loss to fail the vision test required for a driver’s license.

Are your cataracts interfering with the outdoor activities you enjoy?

Cataracts can also increase sensitivity to glare, which can be especially troublesome for those who enjoy skiing, surfing and a number of other outdoors activities.

They can also cause visual differences from one eye to the other, which can affect the distance vision required for people who play golf, tennis and similar recreational activities.

the island news | august 13-19, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

Everyone should get an annual eye exam

Can you manage your cataracts in other ways?

Those who decide to put off cataract surgery can make the most of their vision with a few simple tools, such as incorporating brighter lighting and contrasting colors in the home. Polarized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat can reduce glare, while magnifying lenses can make reading easier.

If cataracts aren’t disrupting your life, you can probably wait and have surgery when they really start to bother you. But if you feel as though cataract-related blurred or dulled vision is slowing you down, the procedure can have a significant and beneficial impact. It’s best to discuss how cataracts are affecting your life and vision with your eye doctor.

You can trust us with all your kids.

Why I absolutely love getting up at 4:30 a.m.

By Lee Scott

On Wednesday mornings at 4:30 a.m. from May through mid-October, I climb out of bed, get my coffee and prepare for a morning at Hunting Island State Park.

My friend Gretchen and I carpool together. We are volunteers for the Hunting Island Sea Turtle Conservation Project and she has been doing it for sixteen years.

Under Permit Number 2015-537 we are authorized to conduct nesting surveys, relocate nests, conduct public inventories and rescue and release disoriented sea turtle hatchlings. We are working under a Permit because the loggerheads are protected under the Endangered Species Act. My first morning out on the beach in May, we saw tracks from a Loggerhead Turtle which might have indicated a nest. This is called a crawl. Sometimes there are false crawls. A false crawl is when the Loggerhead decides that the spot she has chosen is wrong and she heads back out to the water. As a mother who has given birth to two children, I just call it “False Labor”.

We actually discovered a nest that first day just up off the beach. The initial way of looking for the nest is to figure out the direction of the Loggerheads tracks. The ones leading up to the beach and the ones leading back to the ocean. Then you look around for an obvious disturbance of sand as if someone has been digging and then flattened it over. A certified prober then seeks out the actual location of the nest. As we documented that first crawl and nest with our GPS location we unloaded our supplies. There are specific procedures used to mark the nest and protect it. If not protected the natural predators will come out and dig up the nest. Raccoons and the foxes love sea turtle eggs.

The eggs themselves look like ping pong balls. The Loggerhead lays anywhere 100 to 150 eggs. No wonder

she goes back into the sea. Who wants to care for that many babies at once! The eggs take roughly forty-five days or so to hatch. Sometimes, during the summer, the volunteers are asked to attend night watches to help hatchlings make their way safely to the ocean.

So people ask why? Why save the sea turtles? There are several good reasons according to conservationists.

One, the sea turtles eat sea grasses, which helps to maintain the health of the sea grass beds. These sea grass beds are important to a wide variety of other marine species. Also, beaches and dunes do not get many nutrients during the year, but the nutrients in the hatchlings eggs provide some nutrients. I am not an expert, so if you want to get more information, you can find it on the following web sites. www.friendsofhuntingilsand.org and www.nps.gov. Or you can become a volunteer! In the meantime, I will be out on Wednesday mornings for the next few months looking for hatchling tracks.

Beaufort County Offers Secure Document Shredding Event The Beaufort County Public Works Department Solid Waste and Recycling Division has established a secure document shredding event for Saturday, August 22, 2015. The event will be held from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Public Works South site located at 9 Benton Field Road in Bluffton.

“There are many benefits to our residents taking advantage of this free service,” said Jim Minor, Beaufort County Solid Waste and Recycling Director. “At the top of the list is the peace of mind that comes with securely shredding documents. It’s a great feeling knowing you are keeping your identity and personal information protected.”

Shredding and then recycling paper boosts environmental sustainability by reducing the amount of waste transported to landfills. More than 400 cars came through the County’s shredding event held this past June. Workers collected approximately 11 tons of paper.

Any types or colors of paper, file folders, or envelopes are acceptable. Staples or paper clips do not need to be removed. Materials can be brought in any container or bag and will be emptied into roll carts for immediate shredding. All materials will be shredded on site until the containers are filled. Only residential quantities will be accepted. No materials from commercial businesses will be accepted. No electronics will be collected at this event.

For more information, contact the Solid Waste and Recycling Division at 843.255.2736 or www.bcgov.net/recycle.

two things that never lie Two things never lie: your checkbook and your calendar.

Every time we make a choice about how we spend our time and money we are making choices that reflect something about what we value.

Making tough and often emotional choices lies at the heart of planning for a secure financial future. One of the biggest mistakes we make as we approach planning for the future is failing to realize how often we make decisions that do not match what we say is really important to us. We often say that time with family is the most important thing, but does the way we spend our time reflect that?

Does the way we spend or save money reflect what we say

we value?

I heard somewhere that the average American family spends more time planning a trip to Disneyworld than they spend thinking about and planning for their financial future.

From experience, I’m not sure that’s far off. So one of the very best things we can do to make a difference in our financial lives is simply to THINK ABOUT IT, and then be radically self aware about what our calendars and checkbooks say about our priorities.

If we don’t like what we see, we can slowly start to make changes and hopefully repeating that process will give us a great chance at ending up at the right place.

Give us a call today. Lets get a check up to see if you are going where you want to go.

The agony of defeat

WHAT’S INSIDE?

DANGER OBSTRUCTION

By Justin Jarrett

They lingered on the field and in the dugout well after the celebration on the other side of the field had died down, clinging to the final minutes of an era.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort softball team’s season ended — and with it, the careers of nine seniors who helped start the program four years ago — with consecutive losses to top-seeded Campbellsville (Ky.) in the USC Beaufort Bracket of the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round. For the second time in three seasons, the Sand Sharks fell one win short of the NAIA Softball World Series.

But afterwards, the focus was much more on all this group had accomplished.

The nine seniors took part in 161 wins over the past four seasons.

They won a regular-season Sun Conference championship, finished as regular-season runners-up three times, and won the Sun Conference Tournament twice, including a run of five straight victories to come through the loser’s bracket earlier this month.

Several times Wednesday it appeared they would add one more victory and one more accolade to the resume.

Getting ready for the first day of school About 1,500 elementary school children and their parents swamped the gym on Saturday at Battery Creek High School to participate in the 2015 Back to School Expo.

“We gave away 700 back packs in the first hour alone”, according to Keke Swinton, one of the event organizers for the Beaufort County School District.

Health and dental screenings were also available to the children.

“All of the events were designed to help those children registering for school to get ready for their big first day”, Swinton said,

Bridges Prep moving kindergarten & 1st grade to Lady’s Island Charter school Lowcountry Montessori, which has operated in the Celadon complex for the last couple of school years, has moved to their new permanent facilities in Port Royal. Bridges Preparatory School, which is also a state chartered school, with a primary location in the former Boys and Girls Club, recently announced that Celadon will be home for their kindergarten and first grade students for this coming school year. According to Bridges “The school start time at this location will be consistent with the other campuses, with the school day beginning at 8:15 a.m. Parents should plan to drop off their children in advance of this time. Some parents, however, have children who need to attend the main campus on Boundary Street and the campus at Celadon. To prevent a drop off in two locations, Bridges will provide transportation from the main campus to Celadon in the mornings and from Celadon to the main campus in the afternoons. Therefore, parents who have children at both campuses will only need one drop off and pick up location at the main campus.

School district announces five finalists for 2015-16 Teacher of the Year Five classroom teachers were named recently as finalists for Beaufort County’s 2015-16 District Teacher of the Year.

The finalists are Nancy Altman, a special education teacher at Mossy Oaks Elementary School; Michelle Hartman, a ninth-grade teacher at Hilton Head Island High School; Aracely Johnson, a fifth-grade math and science teacher at Beaufort Elementary School; Kathleen Sanz, a sixth-grade science teacher at Bluffton Middle School; and Bradley Smith, a science and health science teacher at Beaufort High School.

State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman announced the five selections before an audience of nearly 1,000 educators at the opening session of Summer Institute 2015, the district’s annual summer professional development conference.

“Any one of these five outstanding professionals would be an excellent representative for our district’s teachers,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss, who added that the 2015-16 District Teacher of the Year would

be announced at an awards breakfast on Sept. 18.

Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a threestep process that begins when school-level teachers of the year are selected in April. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the Year submit detailed applications by the end of July.

In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviews the applications and rates them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants are named as finalists.

In the third step, the finalists are interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. The judges begin by reviewing a video of each teacher doing a classroom lesson. The judges then score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching methods as shown in the video, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel selects a District Teacher

of the Year to represent Beaufort County’s classroom professionals.

The winner of this year’s District Teacher of the Year will be announced later this fall.

The current Teacher of the Year is Whale Branch Middle School band director Amy Simmons.

360 elementary students benefit from Operation Backpack Opening a new box of crayons, pulling out a new composition notebook, and sharpening new pencils to a perfect point will now be possible for 360 identified in-need elementary school students. Thanks to Operation: Backpack, these experiences, along with a brand new backpack and two new uniform shirts, are possible for these children in Beaufort and Jasper counties.

On August 5th, more than 30 volunteers gathered at The Arsenal in downtown Beaufort to commence Operation: Backpack, a new initiative of the Women’s Leadership Council of United Way of the Lowcountry. The space was generously donated by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. In assemblyline fashion, volunteers filled each backpack with the exact supplies needed for each child’s grade and school.

Most of the supplies were donated by local businesses and individuals. The remaining items were purchased by funds raised through the efforts of the Women’s Leadership Council, whose mission is to mobilize the caring power of women to advance the common good by focusing on education in forgotten pockets of Beaufort and Jasper counties.

Beaufort and Jasper counties boast a number of programs that help students and families throughout the year. Students served by Operation: Backpack have been identified by their guidance counselor or school social worker and are not already receiving assistance from an outside agency. Through Operation: Backpack, hundreds of local students will receive the supplies and confidence needed to begin a new school year.

STEPHEN W. DURHAM, DMD

I experienced excruciating headaches, ear congestion, ringing in the ears, a tight jaw, and neck issues for years. After becoming a patient at Durham Dental and talking extensively with Dr. Stephen

Durham and his amazing staff I made one of the best decisions of my life to proceed with TMJ treatment. I was honestly skeptical that it would help in so many areas of my life. I did not understand how everything was related to my bite. Well, I am here to say, I am a believer now!

Thank you, Durham Dental!

Beaufort High graduate Clark named preseason All-SAC Punter earns conference honors for third consecutive year The Newberry College football team has the second-most honorees on this year’s Preseason All-South Atlantic Conference football teams, which were released by the conference office on Tuesday, Aug. 4th.

Newberry has 10 total honorees (four first team, six second team) to rank behind only preseason favorites Lenoir-Rhyne. Newberry was predicted to finish third in the league by the head coaches in Monday’s preseason poll release.

Representing the scarlet and gray on the first team are offensive lineman Stephen Nance (Rock Hill, S.C.), defensive lineman Alstevis Squirewell (Great Falls, S.C.), linebacker Taylor McDonnell (Bluffton, S.C.) and punter Kyle Clark (Beaufort, S.C.).

Clark, a rising senior from Beaufort HS, was a first team all-SAC selection in both 2013 and 2014 and earned ECAC Division II All-Star honors last year. He was named DAKTRONICS second team all-Southeast Region in 2013 and 2014 and earned third team all-region honors from the Beyond Sports Network in 2014.

He led the league and earned the SAC Statistical Championship with a 39.3 yards per punt average on 54 punts. His 64-yard punt against Lenoir-Rhyne was the longest punt in the conference this season. Clark had seven punts over 50 yards and 30 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yardline, while no other punter in the Super Region had more than 22 punts inside the opponents’ 20.

“Josh Aragon Night” to be held at BCHS Dolphin Stadium Battery Creek High School is pleased to announce that the football game vs.

Bluffton on August 21st @ BC will be “Josh Aragon Night.” Josh was diagnosed with MS in 2004. Josh has not responded well to typical drug treatment and requires stem cell treatments, using his own stem cells. In an effort to assist the Aragon family financially, Battery Creek, along with Bluffton High School, will donate funds raised to help offset the costs of the care/treatment for Josh. Battery Creek will donate a portion of all pre-sale tickets and both BC and Bluffton will have a Spirit Chain competition, with all funds raised from this going to the Aragon family. The goal is to raise between $500-$1000. You may also donate locally @ any TD Bank with the “Beat MS with Josh” campaign.

For online giving, go to www.helphopelive.org. Click on donations and type in Josh Aragon.

Josh’s mother, Dr. Linda Aragon, is a member of the BC faculty while his father, Leon Aragon, is a member of the faculty @ Red Cedar Elementary and works with the tennis teams @ Bluffton.

Game time is 7:30 p.m. Please support this worthy cause as the two schools come together to help a family in need.

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful. It’s Wonderful

By Celia Strong

Well, that certainly sounds positive.

As we start another one of our many wine “journeys” together, it occurs to me that “wonderful” is a pretty accurate description of what we’re doing and accomplishing. Learning about a new wine, spending time together doing it, enjoying the new wine. All a wonderful, whole, big package. One of the best parts of each week is the pieces and parts we learn about each new wine. Pieces and parts we use to make it our wine.

This week we get pieces and parts for a California Chardonnay. One from a winery in Kenwood, in Sonoma County. Kenwood is an unincorporated community located between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma. In 1887, the Sonoma Land & Improvement Company owned the land that became Kenwood. The company laid out lots on the land in preparation for a railroad line coming through the next year. At first, the site was called “Rancho Los Guilicos,” the Mexican name for the property. But, “Guilicos,” the Spanish name for a local Indian tribe, was hard to pronounce.

The name “Kenwood” was chosen as the new name, but why “Kenwood” is subject to various stories. Today, the town of Kenwood covers just over five square miles, has a dry-summer-subtropical climate, and is home to just over a dozen

wineries. Our winery, Landmark, is one of these.

Landmark was founded, in 1974, by Bill Mabry and his family. One of the original investors was Damaris Deere Ford. She was the great-great-granddaughter of John Deere, who invented the first steel plow. By 1989, Damaris was the sole proprietor of Landmark and moved the winery to its current location. She chose to make Chardonnay wines, exclusively, and was responsible for creating their flagship wine, Landmark

Overlook Chardonnay. In 1993, Damaris hired Helen Turley. Together, these two women created Landmark’s signature style of Chardonnay. They pressed whole clusters of grapes when they made their wines, used native yeast strains and French oak barrels for aging.

Landmark’s 1995 Overlook Chardonnay was on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 List.

The first of six times. (Since 1995, Landmark has expanded their wine production to include Pinot Noir and Syrah, too. But, we have to save these for a future “journey.”) Today, under winemaker Greg Stach, Landmark combines traditional techniques with a “less is more” philosophy. Great wine begins in the vineyard, so Stach and his staff only intervene to make sure they have consistency and quality. They rely on their grapes’ own intense flavors and specific vineyards’ characteristics.

Which gets us to our Landmark Overlook Chardonnay. This wine is 100% Chardonnay, made with grapes from several vineyards within Sonoma County. Sometimes, as many as two dozen different sites, so you can imagine the layers of flavors. All these grapes are hand harvested and each lot is lightly pressed - whole bunches. The juice is allowed to settle for a day and then it is put into French oak barrels where the fermentation occurs spontaneously. The

yeast cells that come off the grape skins and from inside the barrels do their work automatically. The juice, then the wine, stays in the barrels for about ten months.

They are stirred twice a month to round out the textures and flavors of the wine.

The Overlook Chard is a bright, gold color with very complex aromas and flavors. Pears, Meyer lemon, sage, lemon curd, quince, apricots, baked pie crusts, baking spices all rush out at you. This wine has some weight to it, too, so it pairs well with salmon, tuna, sea bass and other full body seafood, poultry and even pork.

Roasted vegetables and tropical salsas are great with it, as well. When you first taste this wine, it makes you think of way more expensive Chardonnays. But more about that in a moment.

In 2011, Landmark Vineyards was acquired by Fiji Water. Yes, the bottled water in the square bottles. Fiji is owned by The Wonderful Company a huge company that handles assorted top quality foods. With what we’ve just learned about the history and winemaking at Landmark, “wonderful” is a good description for the Overlook Chard. With its usual cost of $25 to $30, we could have “wonderful” once in a while. At $19.97? We can have “wonderful, wonderful, wonderful”. So let’s! Enjoy.

Starting to think about next year’s garden

By Susan Stone August gardens are usually past their peak…many flowers have already gone to seed. But there is a lot for you to still do.

Don’t miss this golden this opportunity to start planning for next year! Gather!

This is the gathering season! When the garden looks the saddest is usually when it gives the most. The beautiful salvia will have dropped enough seed heads by now to give you a second show in the fall, but for now grab a sharp pair of shears, envelopes or paper bags and take a walk.

Late in the day is best, after the sun has dried the garden. Successful gardens next year depends on the quality of seed you decide to gather this year. Look for colors that you particularly liked, flowers and vines that performed well and herbs that you’ll need this winter.

Pods and large headed flowers like

Please send your gardening wisdom and questions to Susan at theriverangel.ss@ gmail.com. If you are asking about a particular disease or pest, please include a photo if possible.

zinnias and purple cone flower dry well and are less likely to mold if you hang in bunches to dry. Drying herbs this way is pretty, but collects dust. So try a warm oven or a dehydrator for edibles. Make sure to mark your envelopes with the type of plant if you know it, if you don’t, describe it. You think you’ll remember what is what, but trust me…seeds all look alike after a while. The date is important. Seeds generally are only viable for two years. Store your seeds in a well-ventilated and dry environment.

“A lot of folks are paying bills online”

Natural areas are great for gathering seeds not usually available in seed catalogues. Diversity creates a healthy garden, bringing different species of birds and butterflies to feed and roost.

Keeping a few native species in your gardens will not only give your garden diversity, but they attract the predators away from hybrids and ornamentals.

The big benefit is that they require very little care or water.

Some flowers make for beautiful fall arrangements, especially when dried.

Hydrangeas are my favorite. Air drying is best for Hydrangeas. You can collect flower heads from August to October.

I’ve tried to save the color by collecting them fresh and drying them in silica, but the color doesn’t hold. You can hang them in a bunch or if the stems are strong enough, just place them in a vase.

Flower seeds just waiting to be harvested.

Happy Gathering!

A lot of folks are paying their bills online. It’s safe, accurate and very convenient. Banking online and paying bills online are great services. If you would like to know more about banking online, stop by the bank and we can get you going. Cutting edge technology with a first name friendly hometown personal touch.

But Frogmore as a town was lost when the postal service decided to include it with its neighbors and the stew name subsequently changed to Lowcountry Boil. It is a tradition around these parts to share a Lowcountry Boil with friends when you sit outside, knowing you will be wearing all or part of dinner on your face, shirt, pants, and you don’t care. Lowcountry Boil is a wonderful medley of shrimp, sausage, corn, and new red potatoes or Cole slaw. Some chef ’s add Vidalia onions and everyone has their own “special” crab boil seasoning that goes into the pot. If you get the chance, enjoy this special dish and you will remember what makes Beaufort so special.

Santa Fe, NM – a glimpse into Beaufort’s future

By Bill Rauch

Out of respect for their heritage, and appalled at seeing it eroding, The City of Santa Fe, New Mexico’s leadership passed in the 1990’s an inclusionary zoning ordinance. It was one of the first of these programs in the United States.

Feeling its way, Santa Fe has continuously tweaked the program. The program today calls for twenty percent of all the houses in new developments to be affordable, down from thirty percent before 2009. Developers are exempted from the city’s roads, police, fire and parks impact fees, and they are exempted from the city’s expansion fee and water offset fee for these units. The total savings of forgiven city development fees is about $10,000 per affordable unit, Matthew S. O’Reilly, the city’s Asset Development Office Director explained last week.

Developers also receive as a part of the current incentive package a density bonus of about three quarters of a unit for each affordable unit they build.

Just as Beaufort was a hundred years ago a town of small farmers, shrimpers and traders, a hundred years ago Santa Fe was comprised mostly of small farmers, small ranchers, and traders.

Then came the painter Georgia O’Keefe in the 1920’s when the town’s population was about 7,500. She was followed by a steady stream of artists, actors and musicians, and then by an influx of flower children from all over the world in the 1970’s and 80’s.

A reporter, publisher, ghostwriter and author, Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Bill can be reached at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.

Today Santa Fe’s population is about five times Beaufort’s, or about half that of Charleston’s.

Santa Fe and Beaufort share many key similarities. Each has, for example, its own architectural style. In Beaufort it is the five elements of the “Beaufort style.”

In Santa Fe it is the “Santa Fe style,” sometimes also called “pueblo revival.”

After government work, in each city the major employer is tourism. Both are also destinations for active retirees.

As more and more well-heeled newcomers arrived in Santa Fe in the 1980’s, the city’s historic district

became increasingly unaffordable to the longtime residents. That’s when the city’s leadership moved to impose inclusionary zoning.

Out of respect for the dignity of those in the affordable units the city requires that the affordable units be scattered throughout new developments and that they be architecturally indistinguishable from the market-priced units.

Founded in 1610, Santa Fe is the oldest capital city in North America, and the home of the second oldest national historic landmark district in the U.S. (after St. Augustine, FL). Its historic district covers about a sixth of the city. The City imposes architectural standards on all commercial and multifamily buildings throughout the city.

The standards for buildings within the historic district are however, as is customary, more stringent.

By contrast Beaufort imposes architectural standards on buildings in its historic district, and on its key corridors, but the five elements of the Beaufort style – the raised basement, that the building faces due south, the second story porch, the wing rooms and the wide center hall -- are largely lost outside the historic district. A notable exception is Beaufort’s new City Hall that reflects each of the five elements.

In the boom years of the 1990’s Santa Fe and the unincorporated area just outside its borders engaged in a

development rivalry that is reminiscent of the 1990’s David Taub vs. Tom Taylor days in Beaufort. But in 2009 the New Mexico city and county buried the hatchet and reached an agreement on densities and inclusionary zoning reminiscent of Beaufort County’s 2009 Northern Area Plan. Today Santa Fe County requires fifteen percent of the units in new developments to be affordable, down from 30 percent when the county’s program was first instituted.

Since the 1990’s about 4000 affordable homes have been built in the City of Santa Fe as a result of the city’s programs, O’Reilly added.

This McDonald’s Restaurant on Pacheco Street in Santa Fe is not in the historic district. Yet the city’s development ordinances required the owner to significantly flatten and reduce from two to one the “golden” arch, and to use building materials that are reflective of the area’s pueblo revival architecture.

Bugs come with life in the Lowcountry.

Lying in the hallway under a plastic cup sits a large Palmetto bug that I just caught. My spouse, who is out working in the yard, has not agreed to come in and kill it and so I was forced to catch it. He, the bug, was running as fast as he could but I managed to trap him. Now two cocker spaniels are being kept out of the hallway because I know one of them will walk over, tip the cup over and let him loose. They are not fast enough to stop him.

He is doing circles around the cup seeking a way out. There is enough pile on the carpet that he is still getting air.

He gets up every once in awhile and does another circle. I get up from my desk and look at him from a distance.

When I moved here, I realized I was going to have to put up with certain things. Long warm winters, a beach nearby, Palm trees blowing in the breeze

and sunsets that take my breath away.

But what I wasn’t prepared for was the Palmetto bugs. Let’s face it. We know what they really are and I don’t want to acknowledge that word. I will use the other popular name, Water bug.

We did order the Termite and Pest control service when we first moved here. The problem emerges every time we have a very heavy rain or when the

bug control guy comes to spray. I swear I can hear the little spiders and bugs yelling under the house. “Everyone go upstairs. That man with the suit is spraying!” I know that because for at least twenty-four hours after he sprays, I find dead bodies around.

This one sitting in the hallway under the cup was brought in by accident. I had an old baby gate outside for several

weeks and brought it in the house before checking it. He was hiding behind the gate and I didn’t see him until I started to wash down the gate. I’m not sure who jumped higher, him or me, but I did manage to get the cup in time to catch him before he disappeared into a wall.

Fortunately, I hear my husband’s movements in the garage. He is coming.

My little friend will soon be a memory and the plastic cup will go into the trash.

Dogs are not colorblind and other misconceptions debunked

By Dr. Parker T. Barker Misconceptions in the world of dog ownership seems to be rampant. I am constantly amazed at what I hear our humans say to each other, with total conviction, which is totally wrong. It seems there are quite a few myths out there about dogs behavior so I thought now would be a good time to clear up some of the most ridiculous.

Misconception #1: A dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth.

I will admit to occasionally licking my private parts. Most dogs, boys and girls, do. And we say hello by sniffing a dogs butt. So that is where my mouth goes.

While it’s true most of the germs in a dog’s mouth are dog-specific and harmless to humans, that does not include where that pups mouth might have been. Licking the concrete, eating grass, lapping up dirty rain water, sampling some geese poop and all kinds of other gross items you would never eat yourself can make their way onto your face or even get in your mouth from your dog.

Dogs that do not get their teeth brushed can also have tarter buildup and excess bacteria in their mouth. Another possibility that humans can get is worms.

Double yuck. Imagine that the poop Fido sampled has microscopic worms that are easily transmitted. Maybe accepting that sloppy wet kiss from me isn’t the smartest thing to do.

Misconception #2: Only male dogs hump other dogs.

Wrong. Females do it too. Even those ones that are spayed and supposedly well behaved. Research tells us humping another dog (or leg) is an act of dominance and is perfectly normal.

Misconception #3: Indoor dogs don’t need heartworm prevention.

Wrong again. See that mosquito that just flew inside your house and eyed your dog like a buffet? Mosquitoes spread heartworms, and they can land on Fido indoors or outdoors. Heartworm prevention is very important to your dog’s health. A dog infected with heartworms

Cindy is a loving and playful girl with a bright personality. She enjoys the outdoors and is sure to become fast friends with her new family.

Come spend some time with Cindy today at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center.

She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccinations.

Dr. Parker T. Barker received his doctorate in Squirrel Chasing and Hoovering from the University of Hartford, CT Rescue Center.

faces a long, expensive treatment process, and that’s only if the damage isn’t too severe when found.

Misconception #4: Dogs eat grass only if they are sick.

Most recent research indicates that quite simply put, dogs just like to eat grass. If the grass is treated with chemicals then it could be hazardous to your pet.

Some Vets do believe that dogs will intentionally consume large amounts of grass to induce vomiting if they feel unwell or have consumed something toxic, but this should not be a consistent behavior.

Eating too much grass (or too often) may require a trip to the Vet’s office.

Misconception #5: Dogs are colorblind.

The canine retina indicates that dogs can see some colors, primarily blues, yellows, greens and shades of gray.

Misconception #6: Dogs get all the exercise they need in the backyard.

Dogs go outside to do their business and maybe investigate around, but they are natural pack animals and want to be by your side. If not with you, then napping in the shade is another option if you leave Fido outside. But it is doubtful that your dog is running laps in the backyard to get his cardio in for the day.

You should plan to take your dog for a daily walk, hike, swim or any activity that gets them moving. Regular exercise helps promote stable weight and increases health benefits. Plus it’s good for you too.

Misconception #7: All dogs hate cats.

While it’s true some dogs may chase a cat and the cat may hiss and flick a paw or two, this misconception is false and is totally dependent on the dog and cat in

the island news | august 13-19, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

My friend Fred just taking a little nap outside.

question. For me, if it is small and furry, it must be a toy on the run, or a new kind of squirrel, so I will chase a cat every chance I get. My sister, Peanut, couldn’t care less about cats and just ignores them. That is why some cats and dogs can live well together. I will admit it is easier if you have grown up with them rather than being introduced to a cat after learning how to chase squirrels.

Misconception #8: A little chocolate won’t hurt.

Chocolate is toxic and life-threatening to dogs. Dark chocolate is more toxic to dogs than milk chocolate or white chocolate. But it is ALL toxic and can make Fido a very sick dog. As little as 1 ounce of dark chocolate may be enough to kill a small dog. So if I manage to get in the Halloween candy and those KitKat bars and Hershey Kisses are missing, I should probably go to the Vet right away.

This is truly a case where “just a little can’t hurt him much” is just wrong.

Misconception #9: A wagging tail is a sign of a happy dog.

This is not always true. Tail wagging can also be a sign of fear, anxiety or impending aggression. The tail may wag slower, erratically or while inverted on a dog’s back. Look at the total body language before approaching a dog you don’t know.

And just because his tail is wagging, don’t go sticking your face in his face. Be smart about meeting a new dog.

Misconception #10: Don’t waste your money on flea and tick products. Just feed your dog lots of garlic.

Garlic may keep pests at bay during a short walk, but it should not be seen as a standard flea and tick preventative.

Opinions differ on the consumption of garlic by dogs, but most agree that trace amounts are okay. So a small piece of garlic bread might be ok depending on the size of the dog. But a whole loaf?

Probably not a good idea. The difficulty with garlic is knowing at what amount it becomes toxic to your dog. I recommend using a tried and true flea and tick medicine that your Vet recommends. Too much garlic can cause an anemic reaction, gastrointestinal problems and red blood cell damage, according to the ASPCA, all of which are not good for ol’ Fido.

Misconception #11: A dry or warm nose is a sign your dog is sick.

Dog noses are not always cool and wet, and occasional dryness is perfectly normal. There are also many reasons your dog may have a dry nose. A runny nose, colorful discharge or a crusty buildup is not good, so head to the Vet if you notice these symptoms.

Certain the police are on the wrong path, Caren treads into dangerous territory, pursuing the truth about Belle Vie’s history and her own, and unearths startling facts about a very old mystery -- one that an increasingly desperate killer will stop at nothing to keep buried.
