Port Royal Street Music defies thunderstorms

By Bob Sofaly

Last Saturday night’s Street Music on Paris Avenue had to be moved into The Shed because of really bad weather. But it didn’t stop approximately 300 people from having a great time as they listened to a different kind of R&B music

by Peter Harper and back-up band, Midwest Kind. His website describes Harper as, “An amalgamation of blues, soul and world music…Harper creates a heady mix of roots music through his creative use of the harmonica, and the haunting drone of the didgeridoo.

By combining traditional and modern influences, borrowing from Western and World music, Harper has created a highly original take on the roots genre which many have labeled “World Blues”.

According to the band’s manager, Bobbi Llewellyn, Harper plays a series

of authentic Australian didgeridoos which is a very large, low pitched wind instrument developed about 1,500 years ago in northern Australia. Whatever it’s called, Harper’s “drone pipe” mesmerized the audience and had them clambering for more.

21st Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival coming this fall Main Street Beaufort, USA, and the South Carolina Shrimpers Association are gearing up for the 21st Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival, to be held Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3, at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. This two-day festival is a celebration of SC Wild Caught Shrimp, local food and fun in the Lowcountry.

Beginning at noon on Friday, you can browse through the festival’s Arts & Crafts Market, take a carriage, walking, bus, or boat tour of downtown, enjoy lunch at one of local restaurants, and do some shopping on Bay St. The party in the park begins at 6 p.m. with live music on the Pavilion Stage featuring regional favorite, Deas Guyz.

PalmettoPride announces Clean Teams PalmettoPride has created Clean Teams to provide South Carolina citizens with a framework to facilitate participation in long-term pickup efforts. Clean Teams expands on the organization’s Community Cleanup program by inviting groups to adopt special areas to monitor and pick up litter throughout the year.

“We created Clean Teams to offer across-the-board adoption programs to compliment Adopt-A-Highway and other local Keep America Beautiful initiatives” said Sarah Lyles, Director of PalmettoPride, adding that “there is a need for smaller areas to be adopted along with our state roads”.

PalmettoPride houses the state Keep America Beautiful (KAB) affiliate and manages Adopt-A-Highway. While many counties have volunteer adoption programs, there are areas that do not have a framework for citizens who want to

be a part of a bigger effort. Clean Teams fills a need for neighborhood, park and waterway adoption, among other areas that volunteers hold dear.

A special feature of Clean Teams is the stream and waterway adoption option called Clean Teams Streams. Special mesh bags are available that can be attached to personal watercraft and allow for trash to stay in the bag while water flows through the holes. Clean Teams require a team captain and four (4) litter pickups a year.

Signs will not be available like Adopt-AHighway, but each team’s name will be listed on PalmettoPride’s website.

PalmettoPride will defer teams to existing local programs and Keep America Beautiful affiliates where applicable.

PalmettoPride can help volunteers navigate through the various cleanup programs to match their desires with the right program.

Beaufort fire station to open on budget, on time The new Ribaut Road fire station for the BeaufortPort Royal Fire Department is on target for a November completion and it should be filled with firefighters and a new truck before January 1st.

“Even with all the rain and rain delays, the construction and site work are on schedule to finish on time, and we are on schedule to finish on budget,” Beaufort Senior Project Manager David Coleman said.

Engineers and crews from Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority helped city leaders resolve a water line issue at the fire station site, located at 1120 Ribaut Road. Additional site work this month is expected to improve drainage issues in the surrounding area, including the adjacent bowling alley parking lot.

A new fire truck being built for the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department is scheduled for delivery to Beaufort later this fall. It will be housed at the new station to improve firefighting capabilities to that geographic area, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said.

The total cost of the fire station project, including land, furnishings and technology, is $3,299,837. Costs include storm water improvements for the immediate area. Fraser Construction is leading the work on the new facility.

“For the Town of Port Royal, this new fire station will provide additional support to our residents and businesses,” Town Manager Van Willis said. “It’s great to see it moving ahead on schedule.”

“This is a major project that will allow Beaufort and Port Royal to continue to provide a high standard of fire protection,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop said. “Now that we are getting the fire station’s exterior sealed in, we won’t be as much at the mercy of the weather. We’re looking forward to completing the work.”

In the time since the city bought the original property at 1120 Ribaut Road property in September 2013, it also acquired a smaller parcel adjacent the Love House

Ministries’ bowling alley. The additional land addresses road access, storm water management and other site conditions. The fire station will be accessible from Bowling Alley Lane, a street to the rear of the property.

Fire Chief Negron said the new Ribaut Road location offers: • Direct access to the main artery between Beaufort and Port Royal • Easy and efficient travel times to the entire coverage area for this fire station • Excellent geographical positioning to reinforce and enhance the ISO 2 rating that helps reduce commercial fire insurance premiums • Limited impact on neighborhoods • Located where fire operations are not a distraction to nearby schools • Smooth traffic flow for fire vehicles, including direct access to the rear of the facility (eliminating fire trucks having to back into the bays).

fought back. In total, the attacks claimed the lives of 2,996 people (including the 19 hijackers) and caused at least an estimated $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage and $3 Trillion in total costs. It was the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history

of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed respectively. The United States was held in terror the likes of which had not been experienced since the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

About 100 people came together for the annual 9/11 Observance on Friday at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront

Park to commemorate and pay tribute to those that died and those who tried to save them on that terrible day. Many relived the day as they talked with each other by recalling exactly where they were and what they were doing when the attacks came. “Never Forget.” No, we will never forget.

St. Luke Missionary Hospice to hold grand opening for Beaufort location St. Luke Missionary Hospice, quality end-of-life care provider of the Lowcountry, welcomes local residents and business owners to the opening of their first office location in the Beaufort area.

Care Administrator and Okatie resident. “We are excited to welcome the public to not only tour our new space, but to learn more about the services we offer to all those in need and to see first-hand our commitment to providing the highest standard of care.”

Author Bernie Schein to visit Beaufort Branch Library October 27 Meet Bernie and let him rattle your funny bone with his stories of growing up and living in Beaufort where he served both as a teacher and as a school administrator.

Meet him at the Beaufort Branch Library on Scott Street, Tuesday, October 27th at 1:00 p.m.

His close friend and best-selling author Pat Conroy has called Bernie “the funniest man alive.” And now, as if to prove Conroy right, Southern storyteller Schein created Famous All Over Town, a comically candid multi-generational account of two Southern Jews, a

Lowcountry native and a Northern transplant, at the epicenter of momentous events in the sleepy Southern coastal hamlet of Somerset, a fictitious stand-in for Schein’s native Beaufort. Conroy states that the book is “Hysterically funny, wildly neurotic, uniquely sensitive, and heart-breakingly honest.”

Bernie is also the author of If Holden Caulfield Were in My Classroom: Inspiring Love, Creativity, and Intelligence in Middle School Kids. He holds an Ed.M. from Harvard University with an emphasis in

educational psychology. A 40-year veteran of middle school instruction and administration, Schein has served as the principal of schools in Mississippi and South Carolina and helped found the independent Paideia School in Atlanta, where he was honored as Atlanta’s District Teacher of the Year in 1978. His stories and essays have appeared in Atlanta Magazine, Atlanta Weekly, the Beaufort Gazette, Creative Loafing, and the Mississippi Educational Advance, and he has been interviewed on National Public Radio.

“I am not going to put my

into something and not have it be the best.”

CRYSTAL DEWAR LADY’S ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA CRYSTAL CLEAN, LLC, OWNER

Local minister gives back in more ways than one

By Molly Ingram

It isn’t often that you get to meet someone who embodies all those qualities that you wish all your friends had – courage, compassion, empathy, honesty, total dedication and a drive to succeed that outstrips most people. Meet Crystal Dewar, owner of Crystal Clean, LLC. Crystal was raised in Charleston where she was the co-captain of the cheerleading team and Homecoming Queen. Because she found herself unexpectedly pregnant, she took her senior year off to get her first son, Matthew, off to the right start.

She returned to Garrett High School the following year to complete her studies and graduate.

From high school, Crystal began a long career working for Fidelity Investments in Raleigh, NC where she was a member of the Human Resources team. Here she worked with new hires to get them acclimated and comfortably situated in their new company. She took full advantage of all the training that Fidelity offered their employees to add skills to her resume. Classes in call center work and successful business writing have all

served her well in the intervening years.

But what I think sets Crystal apart from her contemporaries who have also been successful is that she takes her faith very seriously. “Being a minister gives me the world as my pulpit.” Crystal travels extensively to give inspirational speeches designed to empower women. “I enjoy speaking at Women’s Conferences on issues that face many of us today – especially domestic violence and surviving hardship. Women are incredibly resilient if they can only believe in themselves, but that is a very big “only”.

After a second child, Hezekiah who is, at 21, a new Navy recruit stationed in Michigan, Crystal moved to Lady’s Island to be near her parents. Her mother is a minister as well and her father spent his career in various areas of construction.

“As the youngest of three, and the only girl, my mother was the center of my life. She certainly inspired me to live my beliefs but to also share my gifts. And that has come in the form of ministering.”

Crystal is unusual in that she loves to clean. It provides her with a sense of satisfaction that many of us don’t

find in our daily jobs. “I approach every cleaning job, whether it is residential or commercial, as if it were my own house. It has to come out to my very high standards each and every time.

I discovered that in life, your gift makes room for you. Everyone has something that he or she does that they are exceptional and passionate about.

Cleaning happens to be my gift.”

At 40, Crystal had her third boy, Micah who is now three and an adorable terror on wheels. “You know there was a lot of water under the bridge between when I raised Hezekiah who is now 21 and Micah who is three. I thought the Muppets were still the “in” characters. But my three year old quickly disabused me of that notion. Now I am conversant on Frozen and actually looking forward to the next Star Wars chapter.”

Somehow between running her growing business, Crystal still finds time to work-out at LifeFit, part of Beaufort Memorial. “I am always running so to speak. I have to stay fit so I can keep up with Micah and stay on top of my expanding business. This is no easy feat.”

But she manages to do it and do it with a smile on her face. As she adds to her client base of her 15 private clients, eight apartment complexes and local office buildings that her company cleans for, it looks like the churning business of summer rental management companies is about to be added to her client list. “The company is ready to take on a huge client or two. We have a solid infrastructure in place already at the offices in Bluffton.

What sets us apart from other cleaning companies is that we provide affordable cleaning along with high quality standards, not something you find very often.” And growing her business is paramount for Crystal. She has a one year, five year and ten year plan. “Crystal Clean will become a household name. How can it not when it provides a needed service, high quality assurance and smiles all around?”

“I am not going to put my heart and soul into something and not have it be the best. I learned early in life that ministering was a calling, but it wasn’t my destiny. There was more I could give and share with the world and I am so grateful that I get to do that every day.”

Trigger your happiness in 3 easy steps

By Brittney Hiller

Ah yes, that moment that hits us all at some point in our life. The dreaded thoughts and stories of, “oh, I HAVE to do..” “It’s Monday…” “I don’t have enough…” There are many more, but these few thoughts may play a frequent or infrequent role in your life. If they are infrequent, bless you, my friend you have mastered something magnificent!

However, if these thoughts seem more frequent in your life keep reading as I have some juicy material that may help you.

These thoughts may be ways to break us down instead of build us up. Do you find they occur every week for you or, heaven forbid, everyday? If it is everyday, resist the urge to beat yourself over the head in agony of being the everyday negative thinker, instead begin to implement these three actions into your life. Perhaps do them daily, right after your coffee.

1

WRITE DOWN YOUR GRATITUDES Yes! Gratitude! You may have heard of this, the idea that we are grateful and the action of giving thanks for what it is we have in this moment; is achieved.

Start out your day by writing down three things you are grateful for in your life. When we notice the people, things,

and feelings in our life that we are grateful for – it may generate something inside us that allows feelings of contentment and happiness. We begin to notice we are loved, we are needed, and indeed we are worthy.

2

BECOME CLEAR ON WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY – AND DO IT. Enjoy biking? The beach? Chatting with friends? A delicious cup of tea?

Do it! Add more of what you love doing into your life. It may seem like a simple piece of advice, but you will be amazed at how many of us do not do what brings us joy simply because we “do not have time in our day.” I am here to say, YES, we do!

Notice what you spend most of your time doing and begin to bring more of what makes you happy into those time slots.

Even if it is only five minutes – at least you did something joyous in your day.

3

LAUGH! PLEASE LOVE, LAUGH! Laughter! Yes, Laughter. The simple act of creating a boisterous belly laugh may uplift us in an instant. You know what? Laughter relieves stress and may calm feelings of anxiety. We also do not need someone or something to make us laugh. Honestly, just open your mouth and laugh. I bet you are laughing now!

See how easy it can be? The bigger our laugh the deeper our breath ad the more oxygen we bring into our system.

If you may have forgotten how to laugh, contact me! I have an entire course dedicated to implementing laughter into your life, daily!

GRATITUDE, JOY, and LAUGHTER – The three steps to easy happiness in your life.

All you need to do is use your super power of action!

Many times, it’s the little joys in life that make us most happy. | Coffee in vintage mugs. | Wet kisses from your sweet pup. | Napping on during a summer rain shower. | Hearing just one Christmas song in July to remind you of holiday celebrations past and what’s to come.

Exploring the importance of preventative dental care

By Dr. Stephen W. Durham

It Pays to Be a Regular There are some awfully good reasons your dentist asks to schedule a regular “cleaning” appointment. Some of the very best reasons are not well known.

Cleaning might be too modest a term for regular oral hygiene, because it helps in ways much deeper than appearance, even deeper than dental health alone.

Most folks know that a regular hygiene appointment helps prevent cavities, gingivitis, gum disease and bad breath.

But what about the connection between oral health and avoiding chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease?

Heredity and risk factors like smoking and unhealthy diet are key, of course, but research shows people with gum disease are 40% more likely to have a chronic illness, too — 91% of patients with heart disease have gum disease (periodontitis).

The connections are being researched but they appear to have a lot to do with inflammation. Inflammation around the teeth or gums activates the body’s immune system and without oral hygiene that constant immune response has side effects. It appears to weaken the body’s ability to control blood sugar, for example.

Why Brushing and Flossing is Not Enough While it’s vital to brush and floss regularly, those two healthy practices don’t do the job by themselves over time. They slow the buildup of dental tartar – the source of inflammation –

but they don’t stop it altogether. That’s because once tartar forms, even a little bit, it becomes a site for buildup. Its unique surface and consistency is like a foundation for more tartar to form.

And once it forms, tartar is too hard and too firmly attached to be removed by brushing and flossing alone.

So that regular hygiene appointment you hear recommended when you go to the dentist is really very important. Yes, you save time and money in the long run, but the advantages for your overall health are much bigger and harder to measure than that.

Today, Hygiene Can Also Mean Harder Teeth Ask if your dentist offers fluoride varnish. It is relatively new to the U.S. but it’s been used since the 1980’s in Europe, Canada and Scandinavia.

When fluoride varnish is applied as part of your oral hygiene appointment it helps prevent tooth decay, yes, and it also remineralizes – or hardens – the surface of your teeth.

It’s just one more good reason to schedule that “cleaning” appointment! the island news | september 17-23, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

business & schools

Holy Trinity officially adopts faith based tuition policy Holy Trinity Classical Christian School officially announced their first annual fund campaign Thursday evening to over 100 parents at the school’s main campus on Burroughs Ave. Headmaster Rev. Chad E. Lawrence made the announcement on the heels of the board officially adopting a faith based tuition policy that has kept tuition affordable for families since the school opened its doors in 2012.

Although young, the institution has a strong history of philanthropic support. Tuition payments for the past three years have only covered 54% of operating costs, with the remaining 46% coming through donations in the amount of $1.4 million. An additional $1.6 million was raised in 2014 through the “Raise Up a Child” campaign, establishing an endowment fund with its income to be used for tuition assistance dedicated to families with demonstrated need.

Holy Trinity has more than doubled enrollment since its inception and the board is committed to keeping tuition affordable for current and new families. Board President Karen Kusko elaborates,

“While we have always operated under a faith based tuition model, we have now formally adopted it as a policy. We are emphatically stating our tuition is not cost based; it is faith based. We will continue to rely on God’s provisions every year as we stand in faith with our parents and the community, instead of significantly increasing tuition to cover operating expenses.”

The goal of the newly announced annual fund, Love to Learn, Learn to Love, is to raise the remainder of this academic year’s operating costs by Nov. 26th. The sum, $651,500, is consistent with what donors have blessed the school with annually since its opening. As Headmaster Lawrence enthusiastically shared with parents, “God has provided more than we could have ever imagined. Holy Trinity has families from more than a dozen churches and we will continue to stand in faith as a community of believers.”

Beaufort Academy remembers the lost lives of 9/11 On Friday, September 11, Beaufort Academy students commemorated September 11, 2001 by placing 3,000 flags on the Beaufort Academy campus and along Sams Point Road in memory of the more than 3,000 people who lost their lives that day during the terrorist attacks. Beaufort Academy was honored to have as the guest speaker, Colonel Cooper, father of Mary Alden and Beau. He spoke to the students about how 9/11 has affected our country. Beaufort Academy sends a giant “thank you” to Colonel Cooper for his 23 years of military service, and special thank you for all who serve our country.

Lewis & John did it! Or shall we say Lujon?

By Celia Strong Yep. They did. What did they do, you ask? They made some wines. Surprise!

And here we are to learn about them. The wines, I mean. And a bit about Lewis and John. So, let’s move into study mode and get things started.

Lewis and John make wine in Oregon, so that’s where we’re going this week.

Specifically, for their Pinot Gris. As we know, Pinot Gris is the same variety as Pinot Grigio. It’s just “gris” is the French name and “grigio” is the Italian. Because the wines made from this grape in Oregon are more like the French ones, stylistically, Oregon producers have chosen to call their wines Pinot Gris. Also, as we know, Pinot Noir is the variety that put Oregon on the wine map. It is their claim to fame and financial success. For white wines from Oregon, some lean to Chardonnay as the white “partner” for their Pinot Noir red wines. An easy connection to make because those are the two main varieties of the Burgundy region in France. But, Pinot Noirs cousins, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, do very well in Oregon soils and climates.

Realistically, though, there are not many wine drinkers who just have to have an Oregon Pinot Gris. Not like some have to a Cabernet or a Chardonnay or a Malbec or, even, an Italian Pinot Grigio. That means that Oregon Pinot Gris are sort of drunk by default. A shame because they can be great food wines. And not a shame

For food pairings, it’s almost limitless where we can use a good Oregon Pinot Gris.

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

because this lack of enthusiasm keeps them less expensive. Yay! Pinot Gris was first brought into Oregon in 1966, by David Lett, the founder of Eyrie Vineyards. He started with 160 cuttings from just four vines that the University of California at Davis had.

Lett made the first commercial Oregon Pinot Gris wine in 1970. The next one was not made until 1981, by Dick Ponzi.

Even today, there are ongoing discussions about what Oregon producers should do with Pinot Gris. Since the 1990’s, the plantings of Pinot Gris in Oregon have increased almost fifty percent. It is now the second most planted variety in the state - red or white! When tasting Oregon Pinot Gris wines, we should look for fresh pear flavors with baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), mostly no oak and brisk acidity.

These wines should be mouth filling - way more so than Italian Pinot Grigios.

For food pairings, it’s almost limitless where we can use a good Oregon Pinot Gris. Many vegetarian salads and pastas go extremely well with these wines. And,

then, there are all the seafoods that go well too! Salmon, scallops, mussels, shrimp, tuna, sea bass, grouper, halibut. Fried; in cream sauces; in cheese sauces; with Asian flavors like curry, lemongrass, soy; pestos; fruit salsas; nut and fruit compotes. The list is as long as you can make it. (Anybody ever wonder why we get so hungry doing these lessons?)

Which brings us back to Lewis and John. Thank goodness. Lewis and John Derthick are father and son who started working together in 2005. At Lujon Wine Cellars. (“Lujon” is a combination of their two first names.) Lewis had been a wine lover for years. And John had worked in the wine industry for twenty years. As John says, “I think Oregon is in a unique

“Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service.”

position. We not only grow some of the best cool climate grapes in the world, but we are also blessed with some of the most diverse warm climatic regions as well. This is exciting from my perspective because I’m able to make great wines from a huge variety of grapes from all over the Northwest.”

The Lujon Pinot Gris is a great example of an Oregon Pinot Gris. Ours this week. It is complex and racy. This wine has textures that include fullness and weight and acidity. It has apple and pear flavors, crisp and extended. Not too high a level of alcohol, 12.8%, lets the acids stay incredibly fresh. The wine is balanced, with a lingering finish. And, sad news, only 275 cases were made. That means we can all get some, but no dilly dallying. If any wine can do it, this one will make us start thinking of Oregon Pinot Gris as wine we have to have. Lewis and John did it! Or should we say Lujon? For $9.99. Enjoy.

Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service with a hometown touch. We know you and you know us. Hometown people helping each other grow. We’re here to serve all your banking needs. Service has always been our first priority.

arts & voices THE MET LIVE IN HD AT USCB CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Verdi and Puccini Operas highlight upcoming season series

By Alan Schuster

Ten Live in HD performances from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera to the screen of the USCB’s Center for the Arts will make up the 2015-2016 season series, beginning on Saturday, October 3, with Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore, starring the dynamic diva Anna Netrebko.

Two weeks later, another Verdi classic, Otello, will be broadcast. And in early 2016, three consecutive Puccini operas will be performed. All things considered, there is much to be enjoyed in this tenth consecutive season.

October 3, Il Trovatore (Verdi).

Francis Toye, the composer’s preeminent biographer, wrote that Il Trovatore “is perhaps the nearest approach to a purely singers’ opera, with its extraordinary wealth of melody, that assures its triumph.” Opera radio commentator Milton Cross calls the music “swift, spontaneous and stirring.” Joining Netrebko are two Met all-stars, baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky and mezzo Dolora Zajick. Tenor Yonghoon Lee sings the title role and Marco Armiliato conducts.

October 17, Otello (Verdi). The composer once claimed that his work was guided by the dictates of “brevity, clarity and truth.” Otello is very likely his best example. Sir Denis Forman wrote that the opera is “a continuous stream of music, powerful, passionate and responsive to the meaning of every line.” Toye similarly expressed his high

IF YOU GO Tickets for all opera presentations are now available. All seats are general admission. Adults $20; OLLI members $18; Students $10. Order online at www.centerforethearts.com or by calling 843-521-4145. Box office opens at noon. USCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, South Carolina.

esteem in these words: “Have the love, the anguish, the passion, and the hatred of human beings ever been presented with deeper insight or poignancy than in this music? I think not!” Baritone Zeljko Lucic (an impressive Rigoletto in 2014) will press his evil intentions upon tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko as Otello and Sonya Yoncheva as his wife, both of whom are making their Met debuts in these roles.

October 29-30-31, Pat Conroy at 70.

A literary Festival Celebrating South Carolina’s Prince of Titles.

November 4, Wednesday, Tannhauer (Wagner). This event will be an Encore presentation of the ‘live’ HD telecast of October 31, due to the Conroy presentation mentioned above. The opera – an early work by Wagner - is based on a pair of unrelated medieval legends: Tannhauser, a German knight minstrel, has come to live under the magic spell of Venus, the goddess of love. With the exception of some weak links in the

plot, a fine succession of music prevails throughout, enriched by Wagner’s unique imagination. Met fans favorite conductor, James Levine, accompanies tenor Johan Botha as Tannhauser and sopranos EvaMaria Westbroek and Michelle DeYoung as rivals for his love.

The following content includes information taken from recent Met Opera sources.

November 21, Lulu (Berg). Conductor James Levine returns, this time for Alban Berg’s shocking masterpiece about a sexually irresistible young woman whose behavior causes destruction for those who fall under her spell. Coloratura soprano Marlis Petersen does the damage in her acclaimed interpretation of the title role.

January 16,2016,Les Pecheurs de Perles (Bizet). If Georges Bizet’s remarkable Carmen had never been written. It’s very likely that ‘The Pearlfishers’ which preceded it would have graduated into the opera repertoire on its own merits. Tenor Matthew Polenzani and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien are the two pearl fishers whose friendship is tested by their rivalry for the love of the beautiful priestess Leila, sung by another Met favorite, Diana Damrau.

Jan 30, Turandot (Puccini). Dramatic soprano Nina Stemme sings her first Met performance in the demanding title role of the icy Chinese princess. Tenor Marco Berti sings Calaf (including the enormously famous aria “Nessun dorma”) as the suitor who risks his head for Turandot’s hand in Franco Zeffirelli’s

visually spectacular production.

March 5, Manon Lescaut (Puccini).

Kristine Opolais and Jonas Kaufman star as ill-fated lovers in Puccini’s passionate adaptation of Prevost’s classic novel about a free-spirited country girl who becomes the toast of Paris. Sir Richard Eyre’s new version is set in the 1940s.

April 2, Madama Butterfly (Puccini).

Another Puccini heartbreaker awaits Kristine Opolais in the title role, this time in Anothony Minghella’s critically acclaimed 2006 production. Tenor Roberto Alagna sings Lieutenant Pinkerton, the callous officer who crushes Butterfly’s dreams of love.

April 16, Roberto Devereux (Donizetti). A superb cast will enrich Gaetano Donizetti’s final opera of his “Tudor trilogy”, following Anna Bolena and Maria Stuardi. Acclaimed bel canto soprano Sondra Radvanovsky will sing Elizabeth I with tenor Matthew Polenzani as the title character; Elina Garanca (a fabulous Carmen in a 2014 HD presentation) as Duchess Sara; and Mariusz Kwiecien as the Duke of Nottingham.

April 30, Elektra (Strauss). A blazing tragedy about an ancient Greek princess hell-bent on revenge concludes the Met’s series. Soprano Nina Stemme stars as the obsessed and bloodthirsty Elektra.

Waltrude Meier portrays her mother, the object of her fury. Bass Eric Owens is cast as her exiled brother, Orest.

When your body parts start talking to you Now what?

By Lee Scott

The other night I was sleeping soundly when I heard a noise. I thought it might have been thunder because we have been getting so many thunderstorms late at night. I got up and started to walk around the bed. Then it hit me. That was no thunder! It was my back talking to me again. Oh how I hate it when she starts to talk to me. I walked gingerly down the hall to the kitchen cabinet where my extra strength Tylenol sits and swallowed a couple. Then I spread out on my recliner chair with its heating element and waited for her to stop preaching to me. Sometimes, she gets my leg involved and then the two of them really get upset.

It is awful.

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.

them will appreciate what I am talking about here. Hips, knees, head; they all demand extra attention every once in awhile. For me, it is my back. She gets angry. “What have you been doing now?” she asks. My doctor told me after I had back surgery, “You are injured.

You can not do what you used to do.”

I guess doctors say the same thing to

football players, hockey players and soccer players. “You are injured. You have to stop.”

My back problems usually arise when I forget the advice of my doctor and do something stupid. I pick up a bag of mulch and throw it into my garden. Or haul a 24 bottle pack of Spring water into my grocery cart. Those actions will wake

up my back in an instant. But runners keep running despite their knees hurting.

Football players keep playing even after several concussions. It amazes me to watch so many people playing sports that are wearing some kind of Ace bandage to help keep them in the game. We forget the consequences sometimes until it is too late.

So here I am a few days later and my back has been quiet. She has left me alone for three nights in a row. I am grateful that she has not sent me to my doctor for something stronger than Tylenol. Once again I promise myself that I will not do something stupid and I have posted a reminder on my refrigerator, “Do not waken the sleeping back!”

Learn about all things pet related from medical to behavioral to just good ideas!

Choosing the right veterinarian is not so easy!

By Dr. Parker T. Barker

Obviously, it is really important to your pet who you pick to provide their medical care, but it is also really important that the pet owner, you, and the veterinarian are able to build a trusting relationship.

Ideally, you choose your vet before you actually get a dog or a cat. A vet can be very helpful in providing useful information for you or even recommend the type of dog or cat that might fit well into your family. You certainly want to have a vet in place before your pet gets sick and needs to see a vet right then and there. That is definitely not the time to be trolling the yellow pages so to speak.

There are many different types of vet practices for you to consider as well. Here is a list of some you may run across: • Small animal practice: These veterinarians work mainly with dogs and cats. Many also care for pocket pets, reptiles, ferrets, and birds.

• Mixed animal practice: These veterinarians are commonly found in more rural areas as they work with pets as well as horses, cattle, and other farm animals.

• Emergency clinics: These clinics are very helpful in the event an emergency occurs outside of your veterinarian’s regular office hours. They do not typically handle routine check-ups, vaccinations, or spays/neuters.

Emergency clinics may also see patients who need 24-hour care or exams with specialized equipment to perform procedures such as ultrasonography or endoscopy that the veterinarians in the surrounding area do not have at their facilities.

• Exotics clinics: These veterinarians specialize in caring for reptiles, birds, ferrets, and species other than dogs and cats.

• Avian clinics: These veterinarians specialize in companion bird health.

• Dog only clinics: These veterinarians limit their practice to dogs only.

• Mobile practices: Some veterinarians will travel to your house to treat your pet just like some travel to farms to treat farm animals.

The veterinarians that limit the species

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

of patients to which they provide care, such as ‘dog-only,’ are able to devote more time to learning about that particular species. This allows for more in-depth knowledge of disease processes in that species. In many multidoctor practices, the doctors have individual interests which they pursue.

The way to start is by doing some research on the internet. This should provide you with a comprehensive list to begin your investigations. Friends, family, neighbors, workers in grooming salons or local pet stores are all invaluable resources to evaluate possible vets in the area.

Also, if your area has a breed specific club or association, those members could also provide you with names of practices that may have a more in-depth knowledge of the type of issues that are commonly affiliated with that particular breed.

So you have picked out a few that meet your basic requirements and come with good references, what do you do next? Check out three key areas – office hours, how they handle problems after hours and what the staff is like. Find out answers to questions like: • What are the regular office hours? If they aren’t open on Saturday and you work Monday through Friday an hour away, that might not work too well.

• How are emergencies handled during business hours? How are they handled when the practice is closed or over holidays?

• How long does it take to get an appointment for a wellness exam versus a ‘sick pet’ appointment?

You can tell a great deal about a practice by who and how the phone is answered.

Keep these questions in your head when you contact them for the first time:

the island news | september 17-23, 2015 | www.yourislandnews.com

• Is the staff knowledgeable and courteous?

• How are questions over the phone handled?

• Are phone calls answered quickly?

After they answer, are you put on ‘hold’ for a long time?

• Can you see a specific doctor if you are at a multi-doctor practice?

• Did you get a good feeling from the person you talked with?

Do not make cost your determining factor when choosing a veterinarian. It is very difficult to compare costs for medical services because every veterinarian practices differently. Expect to pay a fair price for the services received. In a critical situation, cost is usually not your first concern, so choose quality care above all else. Your pet is more than a financial investment. Along with cost, find out if credit cards accepted and whether there are any discounts available for the military as an example?

Now, off you go to do a site visit. Just like walking into someone’s house or a local store, you will get an immediate “vibe” about the practice. And in this case, your gut reaction is usually the right one, so listen to it. Things that make that “vibe” a little off putting are things like whether the facility is clean and neat? Are there unpleasant odors? Loud noises? Lots and lots of pets in the waiting room? You get the idea. If it in any way makes you uncomfortable, think how your pet will feel if you brought them here?

Just like for our hoomans, there are specialties that require board certification. Here are some of the more typical specialties you may find: • Internal medicine: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders

that involve the internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas.

• Surgery: orthopedic and soft tissue: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that need surgery to repair such as back surgery, complicated fractures, or abdominal surgery.

• Dermatology: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders including allergies.

• Behavior: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral problems such as aggression, separation anxiety, or house soiling.

• Oncology: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

• Radiology: Specializing in reading x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds.

• Cardiology: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

• Ophthalmology: Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders.

And then there is a dearth of homeopathic and other alternative medicines that exist in the pet world.

Since I refuse to become a Vegan, I usually stay away from them but there are lots of emerging ways to treat cancer in pets so on this one, you are on your own.

So, take the time to make sure the “fit” is right between you, the veterinarian, and your pet. It is a very important relationship and one that needs to have a solid communications platform if the vet is going to do his or her very best for your pet. And that is what you really want isn’t it?

Fascinating artifacts and displays will bring the Hoodoo mystique to life and illuminate its profound influence in the everyday life and culture among the descendants of slaves in the Lowcountry.

family history Like her mother before her, Beaufort native Stephanie Whiteside took comfort in knowing she could give birth at her hometown hospital. With family and friends just minutes away, she welcomed her boys into the world in a safe and nurturing environment suited to her needs.

As Stephanie fosters pride of place in this next generation of island sons, she will surely teach them the joys of living well and loving all things Lowcountry.
