news briefsRibaut Road fire station nears construction

Construction on the new Beaufort fire station on ribaut road is expected to start in October and be completed by next summer, city leaders said. The one-plus acre site at 1120 ribaut road is ideally situated for fire protection, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.

The site is geographically positioned between Port royal’s main station and Beaufort’s current Fire Headquarters near the intersection of ribaut and Boundary Street.

“A lot of work has gone into locating and securing this site, designing an

effective fire station that also fits our Lowcountry look, and working through the various permitting. We are thrilled to be moving closer to construction,” Dadson said. “The property is ideally located considering where most of our service calls originate and our partnership with the Town of Port royal.”

The new facility will replace the outdated one beside Beaufort Middle School and across from Mossy Oaks Elementary on Mossy Oaks road.

The entire fire station project, including site acquisition, design, construction and fixtures/furnishings, is financed through $2.2 million in City bond sales.

sc sales tax holiday will be this weekend

The SC sales tax holiday will begin Friday, August 1 at 12:01 AM and will end Sunday, August 3 at 12 midnight.

Clothing, footwear, school supplies, computers, printers, blankets, bath towels, and pillows are only a few of the items that are exempt from sales tax during this tax free weekend. However, there are items that are not exempt. To learn more information regarding exempt items, nonexempt items, and FAQs for the sales tax holiday, please visit the SC Department of revenue’s

Longer than expected negotiations with area utility companies to move their lines underground along Boundary Street contributed to Beaufort County’s preference to re-bid contracts for the multi-million dollar Boundary Street Corridor construction.

The project will be re-advertised in October and contracts are scheduled to be awarded in December, with major work getting underway early in 2015. A benefit of the construction delay is it allows time for engineers to review plans for the underground duct bank, where utility lines will be placed after they are removed from the SCE&G power poles, said Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson.

“The county engineers and the City of Beaufort agree that hiring engineers to conduct a ‘constructability review’ of the duct bank part of this project is a good idea,” Dadson said. “It is essential that we relocate the overhead utility lines underground, but it has to be done right the first time.” That report should be complete by early August.

Beaufort County’s transportation department originally advertised the

construction project for bids in January. Because of the exhaustive negotiations area utility companies, the original bids solicited in January aren’t valid and the County decided to seek new bids.

In addition to the constructability review, county staff is meeting with the utility companies every week to carefully review the utility duct bank plans and to identify areas of concern from their perspective. With the evaluation completed and the utility company concerns identified, the construction documents will be amended to incorporate the necessary changes prior to the October re-bidding.

Until the contracts are awarded and details worked out with the contractors, timelines and schedules for construction must be considered very tentative, Dadson said. “When we are dealing with a project this size, with its daily impact on thousands of drivers and its long-term impact on the city and all of northern Beaufort County, we are going to take the extra time to plan it as carefully as possible.”

The Boundary Street redevelopment project budget is funded through

three sources; a Federal Highway Administration grant of $12.635 million; the Beaufort County one cent sales tax of $7.819 million; and the City of Beaufort’s TIF II estimated contribution of about $6.443 million.

The utility coordination has been one of the more challenging aspects of the project, noted rob McFee, director of engineering and infrastructure for Beaufort County. A central component of the Boundary Street project in the federal grant application was moving underground the overhead utilities.

After a year of discussion and negotiations, this summer SCE&G, Hargray and CenturyLink reached agreements with the City to relocate their overhead lines along Boundary Street.

“Getting those agreements in place took longer than we expected, but moving the overhead utility lines to underground conduit will make Boundary Street safer and will certainly make it a more attractive gateway to Beaufort and the National Historic Landmark District,” Dadson said.

By susan stone“Our deepest fear is not that we are

inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves; who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented or fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandela

That’s not the memo I got when I was a kid! Talking like that would have gotten me in big trouble and would have been answered back with; Who do you think you are young lady? You’re getting a little too big for your britches… or by name calling; Showoff!

Many of us were programed to play small…to stay in our ‘place’…even amongst our peers.

A few years ago a friend sent me a video that had gone viral overnight. It was of a woman who appeared

on Brittan Loves Talent (the British version of American Idol), her name is Susan Boyle. If you were living under a rock in 2009, let me paint the picture for you.

As with American Idol, the contestants must initially perform a

song acapella. On to the stage walked an older woman (not at all the average age of most contestants), wearing a frumpy dress, therapeutic shoes, curly grey hair and sporting a uni-brow. If her appearance wasn’t

enough, she also has Asperger’s (a type of Autism). Well, the judges just looked at each other like; is this some kind of joke? Simon Cowell made a ‘face’ and a snarky comment while the audience was snickering. Somehow this woman had the courage to open her mouth and when she did…every jaw in the room hit the floor!

She sang, ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Miserables, flawlessly. The audience erupted! The look on Simon Cowell’s face was priceless. Overnight she became a sensation and still today is performing worldwide.

This woman’s courage impressed me so much that I consider her one of my hero’s. She knew that she didn’t look the part. She could clearly see her reflection did not match the twenty-something’s image of an ‘Idol’, but she went for it anyway. She stood in front of a huge audience with television camera’s all around, knowing that

millions would be watching…and she shined her light a bright as she could. What would happen if you were the biggest YOU you could be for just one day? What would happen if you decided to ‘go for it’? What if you shined your light as bright as you could? You will never know unless you try.

You came in to this world with something special…something so unique that nobody else has ‘it’. There is a burning desire inside of each one of us to show this special ‘light’ to the world, but the old tapes play in our head and we remain silent.

After I saw the video of Susan Boyle, I felt personally challenged. I had been writing a book, but wasn’t sure I should publish it. I didn’t feel like I had the credentials to write such a book. The old tapes in my head began to play; it’s too controversial! What would people say? What would they think? I watched the video again and felt the invitation…this time I took her up on it and ‘We Heard You’ was published in 2012.

So, what are you hiding deep inside of you that is just busting to come out? Here is your invitation…shine baby, shine!

Importance of Dental CleaningsIf you think about it, one of the quickest ways to the bloodstream and ultimately the body is through the gums, particularly bleeding gums.

It only stands to reason with all of the different bacteria in the mouth that your whole health could be influenced by problems

with your gums and underlying bone.

Studies at the University of North Carolina and Michigan have linked heart disease, Alzheimer’s and even premature births to periodontal

problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

health tip of the Week

By ian HartIf you want the simplest and most

effective way to lose weight, I have the answer - and I will give it to you in minute - but before I tell you what it is, I think we all know ultimately what needs to be done to lose weight... it’s the actual action steps of losing the weight that is lacking. Many times people need accountability, motivation and a support systems to get them out of the unhealthy pattern so that caused the weight gain.

With that being said, this tip I am about to give you should be one of the easier things to take action on, because it requires very little willpower and takes very little effort.

Ok, now that we got that out of the way. The simplest and easiest way to lose 5lbs is to go to bed early. Go to bed at a time when you can ensure that you get a good eight hours or so

of sleep for 1 week straight and I can assure you that you will lose weight. But… that’s not all. I want you to shut down your wifi and shut off all your electronic gear and

move it far away from where you sleep (at least 10 feet). It is also good to even shut down all your circuit breakers in the house. This will allow you to get a deep rest.

All the extra wifi and electrical activity doesn’t allow your body to get a good night’s sleep. Give it a try, I think you will be surprised by the results.

marriage is like a frontier between two countries. Where two countries meet is the frontier. It is where they meet and mingle. It is the boundary that distinguishes one from the other. If they are happy neighbors there is free interchange. Visas and passes allow for free passage to the other. If they are warring a wall is put up, guards with various weapons protect the boundary. The work of countries and marriages is to keep that frontier a place of mutual respect, with free access and sharing while at the same time honoring the uniqueness of each.

By Takiya smithThis past Saturday I had the wonderful

luxury of receiving a 60 minute facial. Though this was not my first facial it was amongst the first in quite a while. Living here in the South amidst dry lips and skin chapping winters and sticky, humid summers can add a bevy of outbreaks, irregularities and pore clogging factors to our delicate layers of skin. Throw in the gleaming rays of the Sun and the light to not so light and visible mists of pollen and voila you have now achieved complete and total skin disaster. All of which, without proper cleansing, moisturizing and care could lead to even more unwanted effects such as acne, wrinkling and premature aging. Our skin is the body’s first layer of defense and with a few small tips and changes you can begin and continue to be well on your way to fresh, soft, supple and healthy glowing skin.

Step 1: Determine your skin type Ask any Esthetician and they will tell you that the foundation to any good skin care regimen is knowing your skin type. Its

your starting place and ultimate road map to reaching your skin’s proper and healthy destination. There are 5 skin types: Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination and Sensitive. Consulting with a licensed skin care professional can help you pinpoint your skin type and select what products work best for you.

Step 2: Cleanse Start with a fresh palette, free and clear of any makeup, residue, oils or chemicals.

Step 3: Exfoliate Meaning to gently rub or slough (scrub) away layers of dirt, build up and unhealthy, dead skin. Exfoliating the can leave the skin looking healthy and vibrant as well as give it a soft and supple feel.

Step 4: Moisturize No matter the skin type, added moisture to the skin is a must.

Our bodies are composed of over 50 to 65 percent water and a vital source of element and nutrient to all else. Selecting a good moisturizing agent helps to add and lock in that water thus deterring the effects of dryness leading to chaffing, fine lines and wrinkles.

step 5: Protect In addition to eradicating excess penetration from the rays of the suns UV effects, a daily SPF (Sun Protection Factor) will block and guard our skin from the damage of sunburn, skin cancer and aging.

rEd CrOSS BlOOd drIvE You Can Save a Life

Beaufort Memorial pediatrician Dr. James Simmons has received a $273,000 grant from Children’s Trust of South Carolina to launch Healthy Steps, a national initiative designed to improve the health and development of children from birth to age three.

The early-intervention program uses developmental screenings and home visitations by trained specialists to help identify and address issues that could affect the physical, emotional and intellectual growth of at-risk children. Simmons, of All Children’s Pediatrics in Port royal, will team up with physicians from Beaufort Pediatrics and Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services (BJHCHS) to initiate the Healthy Steps program.

“Home visitation is proven to be a very effective tool in assessing psychosocial issues that can hinder the optimal growth and development of children,” said Simmons, a physician in Beaufort for 15 years. “Sometimes parents will talk more openly about their problems in a home setting than at the

doctor’s office.”Issues affecting

children could include substance abuse by a parent, domestic violence and maternal depression. The evaluation also will target obesity. South

Carolina ranks second in the country for obesity in children ages 10 to 17.

The 14 pediatricians in the three practices will be trained to spot potential issues during well-child check-ups with their young patients. Parents of children referred to the voluntary program will meet with a developmental specialist in the doctor’s office for an initial screening. The specialist will then follow up with a home visit.

“Far too many children have emotional, physical or psychological issues that can be traced back to their youth,” said Dr. Kurt Ellenberger, of Beaufort Pediatrics. “Parents want to do the right thing, but they may have difficulty coping with their problems. They’re unaware of the resources in the

community that can help them.” During home visits, the Healthy Steps specialists will look for possible adult risk factors that affect child behavior and development. Once the issues have been identified, the specialist will consult with the referring pediatrician.

“They’re helping us get an eye inside the home so we can determine what needs to be done to affect a change,” Simmons said. “If they see kitchen cabinets full of cookies and chips, we may refer the parent to a nutritionist at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center or one of the resources at the Medical University of South Carolina.”

Obesity among young children, even infants, is of particular concern in the Lowcountry. In his practice, Simmons said, he is seeing an increasing number of children developing Type 2 diabetes, once called adult-onset diabetes. Being overweight is one of the primary risk factors for the disease.

“The earlier we can catch problems,” Simmons said, “the easier it is to modify bad habits.”

Along with the developmental screenings

and home visitations, Healthy Steps also offers:

• Well-child visits with a clinician and Healthy Steps specialist

• Child development and family health check-ups

• Written materials on topics such as toilet training, discipline and nutrition

• Referrals for services, including speech or hearing specialists for children and depression counseling for mothers.

The $273,000 grant provides funding to serve 175 families in Beaufort and Jasper counties. Simmons said he can apply for more money if he determines there is a greater need. recently, the core team spearheading the Beaufort Healthy Steps initiative met in Greenville to receive training on the program. Over the next several weeks, they will provide instruction to the participating pediatricians on the referral process.

“Families face so many challenges,” said Dr. Faith Polkey, BJHCHS pediatric service chief. “This program provides them with that little extra support they need.”

sports&recreationFrom fishing to football, the hard work of athletes of all ages deserves recognition

The Beaufort County School District’s inaugural Swinging with the Superintendent golf tournament today raised more than $135,000 to support a new scholarship program that will pay two years of college tuition to qualified students.

The Building a Better Beaufort Scholarship – dubbed “B3” – will cover up to two years of tuition costs at the Technical College of the Lowcountry for Beaufort County high school graduates who have at least a 3.0 GPA. “We established B3 to create new opportunities for our students,”

said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “This tournament was our first fundraiser, and we were so fortunate to have such genuine support and partnerships.”

Moss particularly thanked the tournament’s community and business sponsors, including title sponsor Durham School Services. Thirty-four teams played in the sold-out event at Callawassie Island. The first-place team was composed of Patrick Mitchell, John rhodes, Bill Evans and Eddie Shannon. The second-place team was Chad Mayles, Chris Wagner, Ted Wagner and Joe Waters.

revenues from the golf tournament will accumulate in an endowment fund, but 2014 high school graduates can use the scholarship immediately thanks to a special donation from the nonprofit organization Know2. Know2 announced today that it was adding an additional $26,000 to its initial donation of $35,000 for a total gift of $61,000.

“Our students are the real winners today,” said Evans, who is the chairman of the Beaufort County Board of Education. “We’re already planning the 2015

tournament, and we hope everyone marks their calendars.”

Moss said the district will work with guidance counselors and educators to spread the word about the new scholarship and its GPA requirement. Interested students from the class of 2014 should apply to TCL, fill out the FAFSA form and apply for the B3 scholarship.

For more information about the scholarship, visit www.tcl.edu/b3. For more information about Swinging with the Superintendent, visit www.bcsdgolf.com.

Competing in a pool of over 100 contestants, Wes Graves hit four balls out of the park of the ten swings allowed to claim the USSSA Global World Series Home Run Derby Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC on July 9th, 2014. Wes is the son of Bobby and Diana Graves and plays for the Beaufort Riptide 11U AAA team.

The YMCA of Beaufort County in partnership with the Spirit of America Foundation (www.spiritofamerica95.org) offered a new youth boating program to the children of Beaufort County ages 11-15. This Foundation is one of the Nation’s largest youth

boating programs with 22 locations, this being the first of its kind in SC. The program taught children safe boating techniques and the correct operation of these boats and also gave the children the opportunity to complete the DNr boating license prior to graduation.

The Spirit of America Foundation donated a fleet of boats to the Y (3- Hunter 15’ sailboats, 4-Zodiacs, 12- kayaks, 3 canoes & 2 stand-up paddle boards), which were used for the program conducted at the Port royal Maritime Center on Lemon Island.

I f you are currently expecting a baby – or planning to have a baby in the near future – it’s important that you are aware of several changes in obstetrical care in Beaufort County and how they

might affect your delivery. We realize these changes may have caused confusion in the community, so we want you as expectant parents to understand your options for care in order to ensure that your birthing experience goes smoothly. We hope this information is helpful to you and your families. On behalf of our entire staff we look forward to being a part of one of the most important moments in your family’s life.

Expecting a ?Changes in obstetrical care may affect your delivery

BABY

What changes have occurred that might affect my delivery?Some of the recent changes include:

• Several local OB-GYNs moved their hospital privileges to – and are delivering babies at – Coastal Carolina Hospital in Jasper County; • Beaufort Memorial opened its own Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists practice; and, • Naval Hospital relocated its OB-GYNs to North Carolina.

Is Beaufort Memorial still offering birthing services? YES! The Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial remains committed to providing quality obstetrical care and birthing services, continuing its 70-year tradition of delivering babies right here in the Beaufort community. However, it’s important that patients understand that only physicians who are on the Beaufort Memorial medical staff are able to deliver in our Birthing Center. These include physicians who are associated with Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists or with Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services.

How can I find out where my baby will be delivered? We recommend that you first clarify with your current OB-GYN provider where he or she has hospital privileges and, as a result, will be delivering your baby.

beaufortmemorial.org

If I want to deliver my baby in Beaufort, what are my options for care? Earlier this year the hospital opened its own OB-GYN practice in order to ensure that birthing services will always be available in Beaufort County. Our four board-certified OB-GYNs are delivering babies exclusively at the BMH Birthing Center. All four doctors are accepting new patients.Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services is another option for obstetrical care and delivery at Beaufort Memorial. Our Obstetricians, Pediatricians and staff are ready to provide you and your baby excellent care.To learn which physicians are members of our medical staff, visit our website at beaufortmemorial.org or call our physician referral line at 522-5585. If you would like to visit the BMH Birthing Center, free tours are held on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Check in at the Birthing Center lobby to begin your tour.

What if I have a health emergency while I’m pregnant?If your OB-GYN does not have privileges at Beaufort Memorial but you find your- self in an emergency situation and need to come to Beaufort Memorial for care, a member of our medical staff will handle your emergency and, if necessary, deliver your baby. Please be assured that we will take care of you regardless of who is the attending OB-GYN, and will reach out to your own OB-GYN to coordinate the best care possible for you and your baby.

southern songwriters rescheduled at aRTworks“Big Frank” Waddell and two

singer/songwriter pals were scheduled to perform at ArTworks on July 12, but had to reschedule, due to broken air conditioning. However, they’re back now and in fine form to entertain audiences with laughter and lyrics.

Well known to local audiences, “Big Frank” has played the guitar and written songs for over 40 years and performs a repertoire that he describes as “Americana Folk and comedy”. However, he is best known in Beaufort as a “writer in the round” who has traded stories and songs onstage with Carroll Brown, Michael reno Harrell, and other performers on numerous occasions at ArTworks in Beaufort. This time, though, he is headlining the show, so that he can introduce the talents of two lesser known singer /songwriters that he met through songwriter open mic

nights in the Charleston area. One of these performers is David Owens, who hails from Folly Beach, SC. He best sums up his life as a performer in the lyrics from his original song Live Like This: “I’ve traveled many a bumpy road and a dusty mile, and it’s a sight for these sore eyes to see that sweet southern smile.” David’s 30 year music career, playing at festivals and venues has taken him across the US and back, from Key West to Port Townsend, however his creative home and inspiration is the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Substituting for Ed Hunnicutt, who was unable to reschedule, is Tim Styles. Tim was first introduced to Beaufort audiences earlier this spring when he was called up onstage to play a few songs at a previous “Writers in the round” show which featured 3 other artists. Born and raised in the arrowhead range of

northern Minnesota, Tim now resides in the Charleston area. With straightforward vocals and a powerful guitar style, he performer a dynamic variety of original country, folk, and rock tunes that are sure to skyrocket him to commercial success very soon.

More like a back porch get together with friends than a concert, expect a laid back evening where laughter flows freely and songs inspire other songs in a free flowing dialogue between the performers.

Songwriters in the round will take place Saturday, August 2nd at 7:30 p.m. at ArTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street. Tickets are $17 for adults, $12 for students (ages 13+), $7 for children (ages 12 and under), $12 for groups of ten or more.

Tickets can be purchased online from www.artworksinbeaufort.com or by calling 843-379-2787.

Beaufort Art Association presents “Diversity” by artist Dennis Wilkins. This new, very exciting exhibit opens on Monday, August 4 and runs through Saturday, September 13. An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 8 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. with light refreshments.

“Diversity” is the perfect word to describe Dennis’ artwork. Viewers will see almost every medium imaginable, from the fine art style of the old masters to watercolor, acrylic, yupo, charcoal, pastel and mixed mediums. There are realistic portraits, as well as still lifes, landscapes and painted palm wood. There will be something for everyone’s to appreciate.

All throughout Dennis’ life he has had a passion for the arts and drama. Even as a young boy he considered himself an artist. When he moved

to Fredericksburg, Virginia, about 25 years ago, he decided to pursue art academically. He began studying under an “old master’s school” teacher to learn the basic perspectives that produced old master compositions. After spending several years with this instructor, he moved on to study under a watercolorist for another few years. As a result, his style of art is basically many styles in all mediums. Very Diverse!

Dennis has received awards in the Fredericksburg Bi-Annual Art Show for both charcoal and watercolor/ink. He has also exhibited at the Backdoor Gallery in Fredericksburg and was a featured artist at the Jarrett-Thor Fine Arts Gallery in Colonial Beach Virginia.

Since moving to Beaufort three years ago, Dennis has immersed himself into abundant arts community here, both as a visual and performing artist. He

continues to grow and further develop using Lowcountry themes in his palette.

artist of the month: Rl Brethauer sails into the Thibault Gallery in downtown Beaufort

“One of the fondest memories of my youth was watching sailboats on Lake Michigan with my father. As a boat owner, he always challenged me to follow my heart, my dreams, and my imagination. This to me is the most important lesson a man can teach his son. From this encouragement came the vision to create ships from driftwood, vintage metals, and recycled materials.”

This is the story of RL Brethauer’s vision and desire to follow his dreams and become an artist that had lay dormant for years. From the wet lands of the Coastal South, comes the inspiration for RL creations. The shorelines and beaches provide a treasure trove of elements, which provided the opportunity to work in various artistic genres with naturally aged wood and recycled materials.

As a featured award winning artist, RL can often be found in his private studio or seen at the Thibault Gallery building his creations. His exclusive creations

are a treasure for all seasons but a possession for all eternity – true heirloom quality collectable pieces of art. RL’s nature enhanced pieces will warm the soul, beautify the home, and renew your appreciation of simple but

elegant beauty. RL is quick to say his mother tempered his love of natural elements and encouraged this expression through his artistic creations.

Much like Picasso, many of RL’s creations are Cubist but reflect the graceful lines of Rodin’s Thinker. His ships combine elements of nature, recycled copper, vintage metals, brass, and drift wood; all with a naturally aged warm patina. RL resides in Savannah, Georgia where he maintains his private studio.

He has collected driftwood from Georgia and the low lands of South Carolina, as well as inland water ways, wet lands, and lakes. The process of preparing these selections is time intensive and requires washing, scraping, and sealing; a process that enhances the natural beauty of the driftwood. Enjoy collecting original and beautiful pieces signed by him. However, no piece is ever duplicated, as RL turns natural elements into beautiful art. Come by the Thibault Gallery and see!

Entrepreneurs Ronnie and Sonya Reiselt living life in the Lowcountry

By lanier laney Beaufort native ronnie reiselt

met his future wife Sonya when she first walked into Beaufort High School at age 14 after her father, a civil servant, was transferred here in 1984 from Tifton, Georgia. They’ve been happily married for 20 years this October. ronnie had been working for his father, ronnie reiselt Sr. for many years in heavy equipment excavation. He and Sonya were both entrepreneurs at heart and wanted to create a successful business. That business became Southern Tree Service of Beaufort, one of the most respected tree services in the county, for the past 22 years.

ronnie, President, and Sonya, Vice-President are both International Society of Aboriculture Certified Arborists and oversee 2-3 crews a day and all aspects of the company.

Their services include tree trimming and stump removal, lightning protection, insect and disease analysis, root fertilization, cabling, bracing, and tree planting and pre-construction tree evaluation among others.

ronnie stays updated on new practices by continuous training through Tree Care Industry Association and ISA classes and seminars so that he can pass on knowledge of all aspects of tree care to his clients and community. Says ronnie, “We value our loyal clients and feel a sense of family and responsibility to them. Our success

would not be possible without our dedicated office manager, Gen and our great General Foreman, Crew Leaders, and dedicated members of our team.” Sonya agrees adding

that “It wouldn’t be possible without the hard work, effort and teamwork they demonstrate daily.”

Sonya is also a realtor with ErA Evergreen real Estate where she

represents both sellers and buyers. She enjoys helping people open a new chapter of their lives by finding the right home for them or selling their current one.

Sonya and ronnie love the Lowcountry life on the water, and if you are friends of theirs on Facebook, you will see many great photos from the river of their friends and family and now new grandson, Colton, age 1. Says Sonya, “We just love the breathtaking scenery we have so abundantly here, and we enjoy the ambiance and simplicity of life here in the South.”

ronnie is an avid outdoorsman, and besides being an avid fisherman, also does diving, spear fishing, bow hunting, and on occasion, skydives. Sonya loves to help organize events, spend time on the water as well as spending time with her family. They work out together at Omni Health and Fitness and the YMCA, and Sonya also enjoys yoga at Artizen Yoga Studio.

Friends of Caroline Hospice is a charity very dear to their hearts, and in the past they have been involved with its signature event, the Festival of Trees. They are also active with the American Heart Association. They are active members of Meadowbrook Baptist Church on Lady’s Island.

As for the future, Sonya and ronnie say they are committed to continuing to do their part to help beautify the Lowcountry and make it a safer place for all of us to live in.

letting go of things that you are used to having around you. With so many military personnel in our area and retirees, they can appreciate the “art of letting go.”

I am talking about when you move. The transition between your old home and your new home. There are the normal places we become so accustomed–our grocery stores, our dry cleaners, the hair salon or barber shops. Sometimes we luck out and the name brand is the same, like a Publix or a Bi-Lo. But some of the difficulty

of letting go is harder still when you still get the emails from Amazon for the local deals-restaurants and movie theatres that you know. Or you get the emails from your old hardware store

or wine store. There is a point when it is time to unsubscribe, time to let the old newspaper digital subscription lapse. Time to unsubscribe from all those old organizations you belonged

to like the local hospice or the book clubs.

Now is the time to change your calendar at home and start filling it with local events. What festivals are coming up? Is there a local hospice group? How about meeting other people that are in the same boat you are in?

The local newspaper will tell you what is going on about upcoming events or volunteer opportunities. There are leadership programs that will introduce you to the whole county. Before long, the emails will be from new friends and organizations.

wine

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

a new glass of wine is nice security blanketBy celia strong

Well, if nothing else, it’s going to be interesting this week. As we do our lessons and tastings every week, I have to assume some of us care more about all the different tidbits of knowledge that we have in front of us, or not, and some of us may remember more than others. ( Just like some of us like some of our new wines better; others like different wines better. That’s life.) All not because we care more, or less, not because we’re more or less smart than each other, but because all these little tidbits click differently for each of us. Hopefully, we all like to know these bits of information are out there. Even though they may not matter on a daily basis for any of us, it’s a nice security blanket knowing they’re there. Sort of like having a new glass of wine to try every week is a nice security blanket.

Our learning goes on. And our sipping goes on. And we stay comfy and cozy with our preferred wines, our tidbits of knowledge and our security blankets.

Our lesson this week is slightly different than usual. When I picked this week’s wine, it was clear immediately that we would need to explore a subject that never really applied before. On occasion, we have scratched at the surface of some of it, but, if our wine knowledge is going to keep growing, it’s time for us to look at hybrids. (And, no, I don’t mean cars.) Hybrid grapes are the results of cross-pollination. The crossing of two varieties to make another, new grape variety. Historically, this crossing was usually done on purpose. Sometimes, it could an accident though. During the late nineteenth century, when European “vitis vinifera” vines were failing under attack by phylloxera in all their vineyards, survival of the wine industry required finding a way to grow their grapes on rootstocks from American varieties. (American roots were resistant to phylloxera, so their grapes had to be attached to our roots.) Even before the phylloxera situation, though, growers were able to cross-pollinate different grapes to make new ones better suited to their growing conditions.

You might remember that Cabernet Sauvignon was made by crossing Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. This was a planned crossing, made from two European “vinifera” grapes and the offspring is also a “vinifera.” Besides “vitis vinifera,”’there are also “vitis aestivalis” from North America, “rupestris” also from North America, “riparia” that is native to northeastern America, “amurensis,” an Asian species from Siberia and China, “rotundifolia,” the Muscadines that are native to to the southern half of the United States, and “labrusca” grapes that are native to northeastern North America. “Labrusca” includes Concord and Niagara grapes - both hybrids, or cross-pollinated formed varieties, with high “Labrusca” content.

As you can see there are many lines in the large “vitis” family. “Vitis” being just a vine. Alexander is the earliest, named hybrid grape in America. It was discovered around 1740 near a vineyard that had been planted for William Penn. Technically, in the wine business, a distinction is made between hybrids and cross-pollinated grapes. Hybrids come from crossing two different species. “Vinifera” mixed with “Labrusca.” Crossed grapes come from mixing two grapes from the same “vitis.” Cabernet Sauvignon. Experts in the wine industry do admit the distinction is made more from snobbishness than any real science.

Besides, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage is another cross-pollinated variety. It was developed in South Africa from Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Hybrids you may have heard of or even tasted include Chambercin, Seyval Blanc, Traminette and more. The benefits of any of these new grapes are they let their growers manage their vineyards better - earlier or later

ripening grapes, more or fewer tannins and acidities, different (meaning hopefully better) types of flavors that develop in the wines, easier growing grapes for certain soil or climate types. All geared for better wines.

The drawbacks of new varieties are the same list. A new grape may be developed to enhance or diminish characteristics from the two original varieties. But, sometimes, the results do the opposite of what the goal was. Trying for more acidity could lead to no acidity at all. Getting rid of undesirable flavors could end up as the worst flavors ever. You get the idea. Obviously, there have been many unsuccessful new varieties that we won’t ever hear about. really? Would you let it be known how badly you did?

For our wine this week, we have a new grape for sure. Bukettraube. Pronounced “bu-ket-trau-be.” This is a white variety of German origin. It is a cross between Silvaner and Schiava Grossa - supposedly created in the nineteenth century, in randersacker, Germany, by Sebastian Englerth. It is a “vinifera” grape. These grapes are bronzish or yellow-green in color. Their wines are usually said to smell a lot like Muscat and its flavors include peaches, apricots, and pears. When its wines are treated with some oak, they develop a spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg, white pepper) and buttery notes.

Today, the Bukettraube is only grown in a few locations in the whole world. There are a small amounts of vines in Germany, the Alsace region of France, Spain and Zimbabwe. The biggest number grows in South Africa. And, just so there is enough confusion, Bukketraube has several synonyms - Bocksbeutel, Bouquet Blanc, Bouquet Traube, Bouquettraube, Boxer Buket, Bukettrebe, Bukettriesling, Sylvaner Musqué and Würzburger. Nice!

Cederberg, our South African winery, is located in the mountains of the same name. The Nieuwoudt family bought the land in 1835. Grapes, table grapes, were first planted in 1963, by the third generation of the family. The first wine was made in 1978. Since then, Cederberg Wines has played an

integral part in the development of this region.

At the winery, they have just over one hundred ninety acres planted with Bukettraube. This may well be our only chance to taste this variety. But, lucky us, Cederberg’s is spectacular. The vines for this wine are eighteen years old, with all the developed flavors and textures that come from slightly older vines. The grapes are harvested in the cool mornings, then cold fermented to augment the flavors. This wine has an explosion of flavors - the Muscat for sure, along with apricot and floral notes. The wine is a delicate balance of slight sweetness and acidity. Which means for us that we have just found a perfect wine. The combination of a bit of sweetness and crisp acidity make it just right for spicy foods, Asian flavors, and our summer weather.

I am sitting here with homemade jalapeño fondue. My own home-grown jalapeños. Truth be told, I don’t really taste the slight sweet side of Cederberg Bukettraube. But I know it’s there because the jalapeños’ heat is tamed down a bit.

On the other hand, I don’t have to keep eating, because the wine’s acidity is crisp, inviting and worth savoring. Boy, talk about a great security blanket, this is it. Hope you like your blanket as much! For $11.99. Enjoy.

By Pamela BrownsteinDuring the 10 days of Water

Festival, Thursday night’s combination of delicious food and live music draws large crowds each year.

Volunteers serve the contents of a traditional Lowcountry Boil — steamed shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage — under a tent as folks shuffle through in three lines.

Many thanks to all of those who helped prepare, cook and serve the amazing food for this giant community picnic. This year, more than 1,200 pounds of shrimp was boiled in anticipation of the more than 3,000 hungry attendees.

And a big personal thank you to the Pirettes. I saw the girls assist a woman in a wheelchair in line, and came to throw away our plates after our meal was done. But Ashely Chance, a rising junior at Whale Branch Early College High School, was so helpful to our family. She pushed our daughter in her stroller so my husband and I could have our hands free to get plates of food and wrangle our toddler, Wolfe, through the crowds. She

followed us all the way through the park and to our seats in the grass, and was very sweet, and we were grateful.

Once our family of four was settled, we all enjoyed the yummy food. Our 11-month-old daughter tried her first piece of shrimp, and Wolfe, 2, ate several pieces of watermelon. My husband’s plate was piled high with the shells of peeled shrimp, and the tasty sausage was my favorite, and

better than I remembered.It was a warm evening, but

tolerable in the shade, and all around us families and friends ate together and kids played and listened to the tunes of the local band, the Blue Dots. Then everyone was entertained by The World Famous Whistlers, and it was a wonderful way to end a lovely evening that highlighted the food and fun that makes Beaufort great.

Page 20: July 31 proof final

By Tracie KorolNext time you take a trip to a big

box store in the middle of the day, park on the far end of the parking lot. Slip off your flip-flops and walk to the store. Chances are you won’t get too far before you slip your sandals right back on, or dance quickly over to a grassy area.

Because asphalt is black it absorbs rather than reflects the heat from the sun. In fact, a study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine noted that 35 seconds of exposure, from 10 am to 5 pm, to hot asphalt pavement could result in second-degree burns to the exposed area. That shouldn’t be surprising, given that on sunny summer days, the temperature of pavement can easily reach 300 degrees. For a dog forced to barefoot it over such a surface, the result can be painfully burned paw pads.

Or, take off your shoes and hop up into the back of your pick-up in the middle of the day. Chances are you won’t spend too much time up there, either. We prudently do not allow our toddlers to play on the metal slide at midday for fear of searing their little fannies, but we load our dogs into the bed of a pick-up to go for a ride. Can you even imagine how painful it is

to stand on what is essentially a hot frying pan?

Notice, next time you attend one of the local festivals, how uncomfortable the attending dogs are as they wait patiently beside their humans. These dogs, while you may think are having a great time on an outing, are standing barefoot on hot pavement, sometimes for long periods of time. While a dog’s paws are the toughest part of his skin, they still need protection from heat, just like yours do.

A day at the beach is not much fun for your dog, either, especially if he is not inclined to get wet. Hot sand can scald paws. Even heading down the metal boat ramp for a family day at sea can fry Fido’s feet in minutes.

Unlike obvious wounds such as lacerations, foot infections (fungal, bacterial or foreign bodies—like stickers and thorns), burned pads may

not be readily apparent to the eye. That’s why pup parents need to be on the lookout for blisters or redness on the pads. Also, suspect a burn if you notice missing parts of the pads or they seem dark in color. Your dog may try to compensate for the pain of a paw pad burn by limping, refusing to walk, or licking and chewing at his bottoms of his feet.

If you suspect your dog has a pad burn it is important to keep the area cool and clean. As soon as you notice the problem (limping along on the road, lifting paws in rotation, excessive licking), flush with cool water or a cool compress if available. Sacrifice your cup of beer at the festival, if necessary. Get your dog to a grassy area or if possible, carry him.

At first chance, examine your dog for signs of deeper burns, blisters and possibility of infection. Washing the feet with a gentle cleanser and keeping them clean is important. Bandaging can be difficult to do and to maintain (monitor and change often), but licking must be kept to a minimum, easier said than done. Some dogs will tolerate a sock for a few minutes but most dogs I know would rather chew off the sock and eat it. Lick deterrents (bitter sprays) may help reduce the damage caused by licking but many of my dog friends view the spray as a condiment.

Best advice is to be mindful of hot surfaces -- asphalt and metal (i.e. boat dock, car or truck surfaces). Put yourself in his place just for a few minutes; how would your bare feet feel? Walk your dog on the cool, shady side of the street or in the grass. Schedule exercise for early or late in the day or after a good rain. And while it may look silly and your human friends may razz you, lay down a wet towel for your Best Friend to stand on when grassy areas are not available. Your Best Friend deserves to be treated as a best friend.

aBlE Foundation looking for volunteers

ABLE Foundation, the Disabilities Foundation for Beaufort County, is seeking volunteers to serve on its board of directors and to assist with special projects. The nonprofit ABLE Foundation  supports services and programs  assisting individuals with special needs. ABLE’s efforts in the recent past and this year have been to fund a summer camp, called Camp Treasure Chest, for children with special needs.  Children with needs such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome, genetic disorders and autism may require additional and special services and trained staff and accommodations, not usually available at regular summer camps.    In the absence of the Camp Treasure Chest, these special needs children would likely not have a summer camp experience.    Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated and the camp is almost solely  supported thru fund raising and grants. ABLE has supported an expansion of the camp this year, so that more children will be served. One camp will be located in Bluffton in addition to Beaufort. Contact ABLE at 843-255-6300.
