Question: How long have you known Candice?

Answer: I have known Candice for about 5 years.

Q: What do you like best about her?A: What I like best about Candice

is her genuine spirit. What viewers see on TV is Candice Glover. She has such a kind, loving heart. When I was in Hollywood, we talked about my interest in anti-bullying research and she lit up talking about how she hopes to one day help bullied youth and girls with low self-esteem. The statistics associated with “bully culture” don’t seem to be

waning. I know Candice will quickly rise to the ranks of Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, and Lady Gaga as a celebrity anti-bullying activist.

Q: What is one of your favorite stories about time you spent together that is an example of Candice’s personality?

A: In February, just about a week after her life-changing audition aired, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Candice. It was so endearing to watch her blush as people did a double take while we ate at Panini’s. At one point, she astonishingly said, “Oh my gosh ... that little girl just looked down from upstairs, pointed and took a picture of me! Why did she do that?”

Sheriff ’s Office investigating shooting

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting incident that left one man wounded late April 23 on Lady’s Island.

Just after 10 p.m., Sheriff ’s deputies responded to the area of Youmans Drive in reference to reports of shots fired. During the course of the investigation, deputies were notified that a gunshot victim had arrived at Beaufort Memorial Hospital seeking treatment.

Deputies made contact with the 25-year-old male victim at the hospital who advised that he had been shot by an unknown individual in the area of 27 Youmans Dr. Following the shooting, the victim fled to a nearby family member’s home, and was transported to the emergency room.

Several witnesses reported hearing a gunshot and seeing the victim running down Youmans Dr, as if being pursued. At this time, no motive or suspect(s) have been identified; however, investigators are following up on several leads. The victim was flown to MUSC for treatment where he remains in serious, but stable condition.

The Sheriff ’s Office encourages anyone with information to contact either Investigator Cpl. J. Malphrus at 843-255-3426 or Crimestoppers.

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is again accepting applications for the Law Enforcement Explorers program.

Beaufort County youths between the ages of 14-20 who are interested in exploring the field of law enforcement are encouraged to apply. Joining the Explorer Post #278 will afford young men and women invaluable hands-on training and first-hand familiarity with the various roles and duties assumed by members of the Sheriff ’s Office.

With emphasis on career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education, and leadership experience, this program is aimed at recruiting and preparing teens interested in a future career in law enforcement. Explorer Post #278 will meet every other Thursday evening from 7-9 p.m.

Applicants must meet the following general requirements: drug free, no criminal record, maintain good grades, have a clean driving record (if licensed), and must be willing to dedicate time to post activities. These activities include participation in various community functions to include local parades,

charitable walk/run events, clean-up initiatives, high school graduations, and public safety presentations. Explorers are also permitted to participate in ride alongs with on-duty deputies, during which they will be uniformed and will assist in various capacities.

To obtain an application, or for further information regarding the Explorer program, please contact Post Advisor Kiera Morris at 843-255-3316 or by email at [email protected].

Drought officially over for all SC counties

The drought is officially over for all South Carolina counties according to the S.C. Drought Response Committee. The committee via a conference call meeting on April 24 downgraded the drought from moderate to no drought for 22 counties and from incipient to no drought for the remaining counties.

Chris Bickley, Executive Director, Lowcountry Council of Governments and representative from the West Drought Management Area stressed, “The committee usually avoids downgrading the drought two levels, but in today’s decision there was consistent and overwhelming support from all the drought indicators combined with a high probability for above normal precipitation in the upcoming weeks.”

290Number of new U.S. Marines graduating on Friday, May 3.

This includes Marines from Golf Company, 2nd Recruit Training

Battalion.

Residents may dispose of unwanted cleaning products, harmful chemicals and expired or leftover medications at a special household hazardous materials and medicine closet roundup, May 4, 2013, by Beaufort County.

The event is sponsored by the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigations Section and the County Solid Waste and Recycling Division. It will be held Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Beaufort near the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station, at the County Public Works North facility, 140 Shanklin Rd, Beaufort, SC 29906.

The county is collecting these items for proper disposal in an effort

to prevent them from harming the environment. The list of products containing contaminants includes such things as cleaning materials, batteries, paints, turpentine, antifreeze, oil, gas, insecticides, poisons, photo and hobby chemicals, fire extinguishers, fluorescent bulbs of all types, propane tanks and any other products that have labels containing the word, WARNING, DANGER, or CAUTION. Expired and leftover medicines include prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Officials ask that residents tighten caps and lids on products, leave them

in their original containers and keep medications separate from hazardous materials to speed collection. They recommend placing the containers in boxes in the trunk or back of their cars on roundup day. Fireworks, ammunition and smoke detectors will not be accepted.

Only residential materials are being accepted at this event. Commercial contractors or businesses with hazardous products that require disposal may call Solid Waste and Recycling at 255-2734 for more information.

For more information about recycling and waste disposal, visit http://www.bcgov.net/recycle.

Event targets meds, hazardous materials

United Way of the Lowcountry celebrated a new start at its Annual Meeting — a new start with newly-elected board members, a new CEO and new challenges in Beaufort and Jasper counties.

Featured at the noon luncheon at Sun City Hilton Head’s Pinckney Hall was a short video called “Aspire” with dozens of Lowcountry residents sharing their thoughts about what is needed to make the Lowcountry a better place. To view the video, visit www.uwlowcountry.org.

“This is a wonderful way to wrap up our 2012 work and to set the stage for great things to come,” said outgoing Board Chairman Peter Post. “This is a very giving community, but the needs are great, too.”

Joining the Board of Directors for a two-year term is Bernie Kole. Chris McCorkendale and Craig Harney were re-appointed to the Board for three-year terms, along with newcomers Randy Lamkin, Col. Jack Snider (USMC-

Retired) and Matthew Brady. McCorkendale of Hargray is the new

Chairman of the Board, with Ashley Twombley taking the role of Chairman-Elect. Meredith Keene continues as Treasurer for the Board.

“It’s a wonderful privilege to be a part of United Way of the Lowcountry, and we have big plans to make 2013 our best year ever,” said Tina Gentry, CEO.

In 2012, United Way of the Lowcountry kicked off the Early Grade Reading initiative, designed to eventually put 600 volunteer reading tutors in eight Beaufort County and Jasper County elementary schools.

Participating schools include Hilton Head Island Early Childhood Center,

Hilton Head Island Elementary School, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts, Pritchardville Elementary School, Joseph Shanklin Elementary School, St. Helena Elementary School, Ridgeland Elementary School and Hardeeville Elementary School.

United Way of the Lowcountry’s immediate goal in education is to ensure that local students are reading on grade level when they enter fourth grade. This early grade reading achievement is the first indicator of later success in school. Until third grade, children are learning to read; at the fourth grade, students are reading to learn.

The organization’s longer term goal is to cut in half the high school dropout

rate in both Beaufort and Jasper counties by 2022.

When United Way’s 18-year veteran CEO Clarece Walker announced her February retirement back in June, the Board of Directors immediately launched a six-month national search that resulted in January’s hiring of Gentry. A Beaufort High graduate, Gentry began work in February.

From 2003 until her hiring in Beaufort County, Gentry worked as vice president of patient access and sustainable resources for Four Seasons in Flat Rock, NC, where she oversaw a $20 million annual budget and 277 staff members with duties including researching, creating, implementing and evaluating comprehensive business and strategic plans.

For more information about United Way of the Lowcountry or to invest in the community, call 843-982-3040 or visit www.uwlowcountry.org.

ExEcUtivE vP jill briGGs rEsiGnsJill Briggs, executive vice president of United Way of the Lowcountry and a leader in the organization for 16 years, has announced her resignation so that she can become president of United Way of Northern Arizona.

United Way of the Lowcountry has annual meeting

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office wishes to recognize the generosity of citizens who are helping to fund the launch of Project Lifesaver in Beaufort County.

Over the last six months, the Sheriff ’s Office has received $2,850 from members of the community, bringing us closer to implementing the critically-needed services provided by the Project Lifesaver program.

A sincere thanks and appreciation to all our contributors: Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Nakikian ($1,500) and to Mr. Royce Chavis ($100) for last year’s donations. This month, additional donations were made by Hilton Head’s Old Oyster Factory ($250) as well as the Lowcountry Retired Law Enforcement Officers Association ($1,000).

Designed to track and rescue those with cognitive conditions who tend to wander, Project Lifesaver’s service assists in protecting people at risk of wandering, including those with Alzheimer’s, autism, Down Syndrome, and dementia.

Upon implementation, Project Lifesaver International, the leading organization in electronic search and rescue (SAR) programs, will conduct mandatory training and provide certification, ongoing management and support to the Sheriff ’s

Office personnel. Their training includes instruction on how to use the equipment and how to gain the trust of and communicate with people who wander, as well as to ensure that caregivers are well versed in the program — all of which are

essential to a successful rescue.Clients enrolled in the service will wear

a wrist-watch sized radio transmitter on their wrist or ankle. The transmitter constantly emits a radio frequency signal, which can be tracked regardless of where the person has wandered—even into a densely wooded area, a marsh, a concrete structure such as a garage, or a building constructed with steel. When a loved one goes missing, caregivers notify locally trained agencies and they are dispatched to the wanderer’s area. The average rescue time remains around 30 minutes.

Project Lifesaver develops public outreach programs to educate others about the issue of wandering, and they constantly work toward developing public policy and effective law enforcement response to help save lives and “bring loved ones home.”

For more information about this program and/or making donations, please contact SSgt. K. Light at 843-255-3410 with the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

In honor of the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s May monthly observance, I’d like to remind everyone of the importance of taking care of your eyes.

Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow these six simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes well into your golden years.

Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam. You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages.

During a comprehensive dilated eye exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or open, the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye the same way an open door lets more light into a dark room. This dilation enables your eye care professional to get

a good look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease. Your eye care professional is the only one who can determine if your eyes are healthy and if you are seeing your best.

Know your family’s eye health history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with a disease or condition since many are hereditary. This information will help to determine if you are at higher risk for developing an eye disease or condition.

Eat right to protect your sight. You’ve heard carrots are good for your eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and collard greens, is important for keeping your eyes healthy, too. Research has also shown there are ocular benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids,

such as salmon, tuna, and halibut. maintain a healthy weight. Being

overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions which can lead to vision loss from diabetic eye disease or glaucoma. If you are having trouble maintaining a healthy weight, talk to your doctor.

Don’t smoke. Smoking not only increases your risk of cancer and lung, cardiovascular and brain disease, but it also increases the risk of damage to your eyes. Smoking damages blood vessels that can reduce blood flow to your eyes resulting in “strokes” of the retina and optic nerve. It also increases one’s risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, progression of cataracts and possibly glaucoma.

Wear protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards specially designed to provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics. Many eye care providers sell protective eyewear, as do some sporting goods stores.

A Big Thank You

from...The 10th Annual Fashion Show was a huge success thanks to our

sponsors, participating retailers and many volunteers.

By martha O’ReganNo, that isn’t a misprint. Don’t you

just love failure? I mean, what greater feedback for what not to do next time could you ask for? And to think, we, unknowingly at the time, created each one of them all by ourselves for our personal growth and evolution — how cool is that? The older we get, the more obvious it becomes how we have created a lot of experiences to teach us what we don’t want so we can know what we do want all in an effort to find the necessary balance to living a life of joy and abundance. This applies to relationships, health, careers, hobbies, homes, etc.

In our culture, people are measured by their successes by how hard they worked on a particular project or how long they stayed at the office to reach that important deadline or how much money they made with an invention or investment or what family they were born or married into.

What if we could personally measure ourselves on a daily basis by our “failures” — or as my family refers to them “ooops, human moments” — to allow more grace and ease in navigating our lives? Missing that important phone call while at your child’s ballgame might be considered

a failure in the eyes of your boss, but a huge success in the eyes of your child. Still, our tendency is to immediately go into the upset of the situation with, “Hh no, I’m going to get fired,” or “I am such a loser,” or other yucky thoughts that weigh us down. Instead, trust that there is a reason why it happened and stay confident that there is a solution in there somewhere and keep moving forward.

Many moons ago, I assisted in the development and operation of an exclusive island resort in the Florida Keys that was only accessible by boat. Water and power were delivered from the mainland via three and a half miles of power poles where PVC pipe was run along the very shallow flats below. As manager, my job was to make sure

all services stayed up and running for the hotel and restaurant. Our unique variables resulted in constant crisis management that would often send me right over the edge and straight to the owner with all of the “problems.” Every single time he would calmly say, “Martha, there are no problems, only opportunities for solutions,” to which I always wished I could reach across and choke him. But, I didn’t and to this day that statement is ingrained in me and now my children (sometimes with rolled eyes and grunts).

When you really consider it, all failure or crisis is a success in that it teaches you how not to do it next time. And, through a series of flops, you then gain a full recipe for future success or fulfillment, which is the subject of many self-help books out there. True, there are some experiences that we wished had never happened, that are difficult to see the

lesson in the moment, but we tuck them away in the “ouch, that hurt” file, lick our wounds and move on. Months, years or decades later when faced again with a similar situation, we are able to access those archived files and maybe discover a solution with surprised ease or a foundation of courage that we didn’t even know we had.

So, if you are one of those who still drag around all those “learning experiences” like a heavy suitcase, take a moment to put the bag down, open it up, and lighten the load by seeing the gift that each of those human moments has brought you or taught you. Since it is all energy, send it all back out to the cosmos, trusting the lessons will be there whenever you need them, then move forward with great gratitude. And, don’t forget the suitcase, now there is room for your success journey!

Live Well ... Have Fun!

Ahh, The Sweet Smell of FailureThe older we get, the more obvious it becomes how we have created a lot of experiences to teach us what we don’t want so we can know what we do want all in an effort to find the necessary balance to living a life of joy and abundance.

business briefsPAL hires director of operations/dog behaviorist

Palmetto Animal League is excited to announce that Kevin McHale has joined the PAL team as Director of Operations/ Dog Behaviorist. Kevin brings a unique and exciting skill set to the PAL team, PAL animals, PAL families, and our community. His dedicated involvement will help PAL achieve its mission of being a truly progressive adoption facility. He has extensive experience in organizational management and is a highly respected dog behaviorist throughout the lowcountry and surrounding areas.

As an experienced and committed manager, Kevin brings to PAL his keen ability to streamline day-to-day operations, which empowers staff to create a more efficient and balanced environment for themselves, volunteers, adopters and the animals. In addition to his management experience, Kevin’s expertise in dog psychology is an invaluable contribution to PAL: Kevin specializes not only in educating human handlers with basic dog psychology practices, but also in rehabilitating dogs with issues that, without help, would normally be deemed “unadoptable” — such as fear, aggression and anxiety. With a dog behaviorist on staff as Director of Operations, PAL will now be able to offer an enhanced environment that is beneficial for all dogs who come through the doors, and will be able to offer new programs to educate and guide staff, volunteers, adopters and the public on a consistent basis.

By Rick ToomeyI have been a hospital administrator

for most of my healthcare career, and I have been honored to serve as Beaufort Memorial’s President and CEO for the last five years.

Yet, every day I come face to face with the reality that there is a widening gap between those who can afford health care coverage and those who cannot, and it makes me concerned about the health of our residents and of our hospital.

Our elected officials have an opportunity to change the fates and health of our state’s uninsured as they debate the state budget and whether or not to broaden health coverage for low income adults and families — a move that would improve the health of our state and community.

The debate centers on whether or not the state will accept $11.2 billion in federal funds available through the Affordable Care Act — money our residents have contributed through federal withholdings — to expand Medicaid to those living below 138% of the Federal Poverty Level. The alternative is to reject these funds and allow them to be sent to another state to expand their healthcare coverage.

People on both sides of the debate are fairly well entrenched in their positions, and there is no doubt that

we are working with a system that needs reform — reform that will take many

years to implement. But the issue at hand today is very simple: use our money to improve healthcare coverage and health in our state, or allow our money to be sent to another state to improve their healthcare.

While a number of Republican governors initially said “no” to Medicaid expansion, upon reflection many, including governors Chris Christie of New Jersey, Rick Scott of Florida, John Kasich of Ohio and Jan Brewer of Arizona, have reconsidered because they recognize that expansion puts people first and makes good economic sense.

There is virtually no expense to the state for expanding Medicaid to newly eligible enrollees during the first three years of expansion (2014-2016), as the Federal government pays 100% of the cost. So as debate about the state budget continues in the statehouse, all our legislators have to do is direct DHHS to expand Medicaid to access over $11 billion of your federal

tax dollars to cover South Carolina’s most vulnerable citizens.

Our state needs to reconsider its hard line against expansion and consider the devastating impact their choices will have on our state, our economy, and the health of our citizens.

Hospitals across the state, including ours, will face millions in annual Medicare cuts beginning next year. These cuts were to be offset by increased coverage for the uninsured provided through Medicaid expansion.

Meanwhile, hospitals are still forced to absorb the cost of providing care to the uninsured while forgoing billions of dollars in Medicare reimbursement.

What does this mean for our community?

Beaufort Memorial provides a lion’s share of the cost of caring for Medicaid patients and the uninsured, and those costs are only increasing.

The hospital has experienced a significant increase in charity care over the past several years, rising from $15.4 million in fiscal year 2008 to $22.3 million in fiscal year 2012.

Likewise, we’ve had to absorb bad debt increases driven by the poor economy, with provisions for bad debt rising from $13.3 million in fiscal year 2008 to $21.7 million in fiscal year 2012.

In order to meet the challenges of an annual $7 million cut in Medicare reimbursements and a rising number of uninsured patients, BMH will be forced to make the toughest choice of all: Whether or not we can continue providing critical, much-needed health services to our community.

As a hospital administrator and a member of this community, I believe that we should expand health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It’s a better plan for our state, our health, and our money.

I urge you to learn more about this important issue that will affect us all for years to come. Contact your local legislators, write to our governor, and implore them to do what is right for the people of South Carolina.

Rick Toomey is President and CEO of Beaufort Memorial Hospital and incoming president of the SCHA and chair of its legislative committee.

Marge and Larry McLenagan (A PG rated, tame, and boring love story)

Marge and I met on a blind date in Roanoke, Virginia. She was a secretary for the city, and I was a sophomore at VA Tech, a military college then. We got

engaged at the ring dance in the Spring of 1952 and were married on June 5, 1953. That weekend I graduated from college, and became a Second Lieuten-

ant in the US Army. We had no car. Margie’s cousin very graciously offered his new Buick to us on our wedding day. That morning my best man and I drove his new car downtown to pick up the wedding ring at the jewelers. When we reached the jewelers, I asked my best man to circle the block while I went in.

He stayed away for a long time and finally came walk up the sidewalk. He told me he wrecked the car and it had to be towed. Not the best start to our wed-ding day! We had no money for a honeymoon.. However, after five months

training at Fort Bliss, Texas, I was assigned to the Fifth Infantry Division just outside Munich. That year and a half in Germany was our honeymoon. The

first of our five sons was born in the 2nd Army Field Hospital.

We will be married for 60 years on June 5th this year. We recently moved to Morningside and have enjoyed everyone! The activities are innovative and

frequently the high light of the day. We are thankful to be here together.

109 Old Salem Road • Beaufort, SC 29902

We would like to give a special thank you to all of our Residents, Families, and Staff for making this

event possible! We enjoyed Frogmore stew courtesy of our culinary department and the company of our Morningside families! We would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy springtime!

“Spring Fling” family night


By Cherimie Crane WeatherfordWalking the unfamiliar streets of foreign countries

alone never fazed me, not even once. Bungee jumping off of a bridge did nothing more than necessitate an inconvenient visit to a chiropractor and impromptu public speaking stirred less nerves than an empty coffee mug. Fear was a distant emotion, an absent friend and a most unlikely foe. Possibly naivety was dominant in my genes or it could be the inability to admit doubt even in the most half-brained of ideas. There were moments of hesitation, the semblance of a little voice that proclaimed obvious objection to frequent bouts of ignorance; however, the paralysis that is the concrete feet of fear was a complete stranger to me until recently.

Backwoods Barbie is just one of the many things I have been called, some far less glamorous. Over the years I have been known as many things, filled many shoes and worn almost as many hats. Three months ago a little stick with a bright pink line presented me with an entirely new name, bigger than life shoes to fill and my very first introduction to real, unmistakable

fear. Without any words, the loudest silence I have ever heard rang out the clearest invitation I have ever received. Backwoods Barbie, girl in the boots, awkward girl from Mississippi, girl with a strange name, Reed’s wife,

Lydia’s best friend is now someone’s Momma.Stronger than any black coffee I have ever had, the news

jolted through my body with more energy than the time I tried to fix the dining room chandelier without turning off the power. For what seemed like hours, but was certain only to be moments, the sound of my stampeding heart was the only recognizable sensation. Then a lifetime of insecurities came rushing in as if someone had been holding them back all these years.

One right after another, reasons why I would never measure up flooded my already crowded brain.

Somewhere during the onslaught of emotion, the parade of tears and the realization that I no longer could live off of caffeine and cupcakes, I did what I have done all my life. I stood up, maybe even a little too quickly as I went head first into the bathroom door but recovered nicely.

Of all the many titles I have held over the years, none will ever be as important, as challenging as rewarding as the one laid before me now. With the long line of strong women running through my blood, the trail of the most incredible mothers, grandmothers and friends a woman could have, I accept this amazing gift with both hands. This Mother’s Day will undoubtedly be different. Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who had the moment of unmistakable fear, that most private of all private moments when you sat down as one person and stood up as two.

letter to the editorCounty should focus on financial costs of projects

County Administrator Gary Kubic would like to have County Council ban smoking on county (taxpayer owned) outdoor properties. Will he later ask for trained sniffer dogs to make sure that all food and drink entering county property is sniffed to ensure it is nutritious? Also the sniffers could check for obnoxious perfumes and deodorants. Parks will need fences and gates at which the dogs are stationed. Maybe Kubic could give the Mayor of New York additional ideas for infringing

on individual rights. Will county workers in parks, etc., get extra time to leave the property for their smokes? Wow! Cost, cost and more cost.

Is cost of concern? Look at current estimated cost of $56 million OVERSPENDING on the recent $152 million ordinance taxpayers approved for road improvements. The ordinance required the administration to submit a complete cost estimate and schedule to council before the project started. Where is it? FOIA requests did not produce it. There is still no schedule on parts of the program, and one or two projects are “on hold.” Do you guess

the county ran out of money sources? County and City Council should spend time on finding why projects aren’t managed — not on outdoor smoking. What happened? How can construction be better managed? Where is financial transparency on anything?

A few weeks ago there was information in the press that Beaufort County was going to spend $750,000 to update the former Special Needs home for space for the Coroner. After obtaining a copy of the estimate, it contained $22,500 for demolition and then another $14,000 for demolition of concrete walks and two sheds etc.

It appears the property is to be cleared instead of remodeled. The press announcement indicated the coroner would now be able to do autopsies with an additional employee instead of sending them out. What is the cost comparison between in house and elsewhere? Autopsy Room equipment alone is estimated at $96,000. Was this project evaluated by the County Finance Committee and council?

Oh well, it is only taxpayer money. Why be concerned? We should have term limits on all elected offices so we get fresh thinking into government.

Jim Bequette, Retired CPA, Beaufort

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training (TNT) program invites individuals interested in fitness and charity to join TNT. TNT participants fight against blood cancers by raising funds and training as a group to run or walk, a full or half marathon. This year TNT is celebrating its 25th Anniversary through the Rock ‘N’ Roll Savannah Marathon in Savannah.

TNT is a unique program with a local presence, resident Larry Baker participated in TNT last season. Larry lives in Hardeeville and participated in Rock ‘N’ Roll Savannah last season, marking his first marathon experience. Larry ran the marathon for his friend, Al, a local community member. Al passed away one week prior to the marathon, and Larry completed the marathon in his honor. This season Larry plans to join

TNT once again to continue his efforts in Al’s honor.

To run to raise money for blood cancer research like Larry, what better way than to run with TNT and help celebrate 25 years. The TNT program includes weekly team training sessions under the direction of a certified coach, mentoring from previous participants, like Larry, and clinics on nutrition, shoes and gear, injury prevention, and safety.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Savannah is set to take place November 9. Please contact the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for more information and to register today.

Learn more about Team In Training at a local information session at City Java, 301 Carteret Street, Beaufort on Wednesday, May 22, from 4 to 7 p.m. Drop in and have a cup of coffee with a TNT coordinator to learn more.

Students from Battery Creek High School recently won awards while attending the South Carolina Business Professionals of America state conference in Columbia.

Beaufort Academy Lower School students celebrated Earth Day with a variety of activities, including campus clean up, creating recycled art, making bird feeders, holding a fashion show using only clothing they created from recycled material, decorating Publix shopping bags with Earth Day themes, special guest speakers and creating an Earth Day Pledge for students in grades 1-12 to sign. In honor of Earth Day, Martin & Lindsay Landscape donated and planted three trees on the BA campus. The Third Grade Class will be in charge of caring for the trees.

E.C. Montessori School students participated for the third year in a row in Habersham’s Annual Earth Day Recycled Art event. The children utilized the tops of old paint cans to make outdoor flower art, as well as bottle caps to make stepping stones. The school received an award for their artwork.

Beaufort Academy (BA) has announced the dates of its upcoming “Camp Make and Take.” This camp is being partially funded by a grant from the Beaufort Youth Initiative, and will be at no cost to participants. BA was awarded these funds in a stiff competition among local organizations that wanted to offer intellectually stimulating programs to teenagers in northern Beaufort County. The grant process was organized by the Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort County. BA sent three of its own teenage students to participate in the grant review board that evaluated all of the grant applications.

“This was an outstanding opportunity for BA students to contribute their diverse ideas to the evaluation process,” said Rebecca W. Bass, Beaufort Academy’s Director of Development and Alumni Relations. “The feedback we received from the Boys & Girls Club is that all of our students are welcome to return to participate on the review board next year.”

The grant funds were used to purchase a 3D printer. Despite the somewhat misleading name “printer”, such devices do not really print in the sense we think of it today. Rather, with a 3D printer, it is possible to design an object in three dimensions with software on a computer and then make it a reality by producing it on the 3D “printer.”

Gina Reilly, BA’s Library Director and Technology Instructor, enthused, “The only limit to what can be produced with a 3D printer is the student’s imagination. The hands-on experiences the students will have here could inspire

them to contemplate a career in design or engineering.” Students will have the opportunity to explore 3D design software such as Sketchup and Cubify and then create their prototypes in plastic using the 3D printer.

There will be four one-week sessions of Camp Make and Take offered. The dates for the first two sessions are: May 13-17 and May 20-24. The camp will meet in the Beaufort Academy Library from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Camp Make and Take is open to ALL Northern Beaufort County teens and is free to attend. Dates will be announced soon for two more sessions this summer. Classes are limited to fifteen students. Registration forms are available on the school website www.beaufortacademy.org.

For more details, contact Rebecca W. Bass, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, at Beaufort Academy at [email protected] or call 843-524-3393.

Beaufort Academy to offer teen camp

Rebecca Bass, Director of Development, and Gina Reilly, Library Director/Instructional Technologist, accept an award check from Beaufort Youth Initiative Grant. Funds will be used for purchase of 3D printer so the school can offer “Camp Make and Take” to northern Beaufort County teenagers.

About 700 elementary, middle and high school students visited Battery Creek High School today to learn more about the school’s growing aviation program and to receive hands-on instruction in aviation and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses.

“Battery Creek Aviation/STEM Day,” sponsored by the high school, the Celebrate Freedom Foundation and the U.S. Marine Corps, hosted students from Robert Smalls Middle School, Broad River Elementary School, Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary School and Battery Creek High.

Students toured the Battery Creek Aviation and Engineering Facility, including its flight simulator, aircraft construction program, and aviation and engineering classrooms.

“We hope to capture the imaginations and dreams of young elementary and middle school students on the opportunities they have in aviation, while

at the same time furthering our high school students’ interests in the field,” said Col. (Ret.) Jack Snider, a veteran Marine pilot who retired as the Marine Corps Air Station’s commander last year and has coordinated the new additions to Battery Creek’s academic program.

In addition to touring the school’s aviation and engineering facilities, the students visited an AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopter displayed on a trailer and speak with a helicopter pilot. A second Cobra, owned by the Celebrate Freedom Foundation, flew twice around the school before landing on an athletic field to the shouts of students.

“There are so many terrific career opportunities right here in our neighborhood,” Snider said. “There are high-paying positions that include aircraft mechanics, computer hardware engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, aircraft avionics, aircraft painters, aircraft technicians and flight engineers.”

Wendy Goller was born in Greenville but grew up in Columbia. She won numerous awards in high school and went on to study art at the University of South Carolina. There she studied painting under renowned artist Phillip Mullen and drawing with illustrator Chris Jones.

Although earning a BFA from USC, Wendy decided to go directly into the restaurant business. In 1978, she opened Wendy Ethel’s Restaurant and Saloon on Main Street in Columbia. There she met and married former South Carolina Wildlife magazine photographer and S.C. Department of Natural Resources marketing director Jim Goller. In 1999 Wendy became interested in real estate. She became a licensed Realtor and later a successful broker.

In 2006, Wendy and Jim moved to the Lowcountry; Jim to continue as executive director of the Harry Hampton Memorial Wildlife Fund and Wendy to join a local real estate firm. Establishing themselves in Beaufort, Jim recaptured his love of fishing and photography and Wendy became an artist again.

Wendy loves detailing the bountiful and beautiful local marine life of Beaufort County. One of her favorite subjects is the sea turtle but dolphin, red drum, sea trout and other fish have also become her subjects along with crustaceans like shrimp and crabs. She enjoys working in a variety of mediums and loves the endless choice of subject matter that living in the

South Carolina Lowcountry provides.“Hooked on Fishing” is about capturing

the fun and mystery in the art of fishing. This show features anglers of all ages and types and will include several scenes portrayed in Gouache, a type of opaque watercolor that has a binding agent that gives it more versatile properties than watercolor but spreads and mixes much the same way.

The Beaufort Art Association’s reception for Hooked on Fishing will be held at the BAA Gallery on Friday, May 17th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wendy will be there with her husband, Jim, who will be available for coaching avid anglers and wannabe fishermen.

Trunk Show May 9th & 10th

Lowcountry artist Jonathan Green will be at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery signing the newly released book “Seeking” on May 17, 2013 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. “Seeking” is a compilation of poetry and praise inspired by the art of Jonathan Green. Twenty-nine different authors and poets were inspired to write about paintings by Green.

Edited by Kwame Dawes and Majory Wentworth, this collection features 16 color paintings by Green in addition to a preface on the history of the project, information on the painting “Seeking”, and an artist’s statement.

A prolific author and editor in myriad genres, Kwame Dawes has written 16 collections of poetry, most recently “Back of Mount Peace and Wheels.” Dawes won an Emmy Award for his poetry and reporting on HIV/AIDS in his native Jamaica, and he is also the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, the Forward Poetry Prize, and the Hollis Summer Poetry Prize. Dawes is the Glenna Luschei Editor of Prairie Schooner and a Chancellor’s Professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

South Carolina Poet Laureate Marjory Wentworth’s poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize four times. Her collections of poetry include “Noticing Eden,” “Despite Gravity,” “What the Water Gives Me,” and “The Endless Repetition of an Ordinary Miracle.” Wentworth is also the author of an award-winning children’s book, “Shackles”, and of “Taking a Stand: The Evolution of Human Rights”, with Juan E. Mendez. In the preface of the book Wentworth writes: “This book demonstrates the inherent power of one painting to communicate universal feelings and experiences that unite us all. Jonathan Green’s infectious excitement for the arts and his passion for collaboration are embodied

by this project. His painting “Seeking” deeply touches everyone who sees it, and the stories and poems created in response articulate much of the shared experience.... By bringing people together in celebration, once again Jonathan reminds us that we are not alone on our spiritual journey.”

The best art has the uncanny ability not only to give pleasure to those who view it but also to lead to a desire to respond. The best artists are a force for all art, and renowned Gullah artist Jonathan Green’s work has inspired a wide range of responses from artists around the world. In “Seeking”we see how Green’s art prompts works of poetry, prose, and memoir. “Seeking’s” evocative power lies in the intimacy of this dialogue, which speaks to the shared sense of landscape and culture that Green stirs in these writers, ranging from close friends and fellow artists from his home state of South Carolina to nationally established authors who regard Green’s work as an important cultural institution. The contributors have allowed themselves to be challenged by Green’s brilliance, his honesty, his intense spirituality and his deep love of

people. Inspired by a personal quest toward induction into a spiritual community, Green’s painting “Seeking” is rich with history, myth, and truth. The writers in this collection have found fertile ground for their own responses to Green’s work, and the result is an engaging and enlivening chorus of celebratory voices.

Accompanying Green at the signing will be St. Helena Island resident and author of “Amadeus the Leghorn Rooster,” Deloris B. Nevils. She is also one of the contributors to “Seeking.”

Commenting on the book, American poet and Virginia Tech professor Nikki Giovanni wrote: “Art is as necessary as wine to our happiness. Each has a special place and, properly used, makes our days more gentle, our touch more loving, our loving more perfect. Jonathan Green and poems are challenge and caress; query and conclusion; that which is sought and SEEKING. We bath in and drink this water. We watch it unfurl. It is so refreshing. We exhale.”

In further comments, Simmons College, Michael Weaver wrote: “The writings in “Seeking” celebrate the visionary art of Jonathan Green, a member of the Gullah culture whose body of work affirms the sacred and the spiritual as spaces that are alive. In the Gullah culture, a pilgrimage into the world of nature evokes God’s presence in the dreams of the seeker, and the poems and prose works in this collection celebrate that journey, that faith, and that hope.”

Gallery owner, Mary Inabinett Mack said, “We are extremely pleased to have Jonathan come to the Red Piano Too and sign his book.” The signing is free and open to the public. Try not to miss this extraordinary opportunity to meet a nationally recognized artist and lowcountry native Jonathan Green. For information call 843-838-2241 or email [email protected].

getting an insider’s look at this downtown gemROSSIGNOL’S

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

By Anne Christnovich

Men sweating to find the right gift for Mother’s Day or any other special occasion need only to travel as far as Bay Street to find help.

Rossignol’s, opened in 1995 by Ginger and Charles Aimar, carries cards, jewelry, clothing, fine china, fragrances and a host of other products produced locally and internationally.

About a dozen people milled about in the store on a Tuesday afternoon, each drawn to different collections for different reasons. While a Rossignol’s employee helped a woman find the perfect tote, a small blond girl in a pink dress squealed with delight as she selected a miniature purse containing a stuffed animal dog. Yet another customer found greeting cards for a graduation and a baptism.

Ginger said she and her husband came up with the concept of a store with “distinctive gifts for all occasions” but had to spend some time in the early ‘90s searching for the right location.

“We looked from Charleston to Wilmington to Jacksonville,” she said. “Neither of us thought we’d end up back in Charles’ hometown (of Beaufort).”

Once they settled into their Bay Street location, however, they knew they’d found the right place.

“There was no store here like it at the time,” she said. “It was right as far as growth ... Before, few people had heard of Beaufort and now people are seeking us out.”

The line of products has evolved over the years, from mostly fine jewelry and formal table settings to carrying children’s books and clothes and greeting cards.

Pandora bracelets and Vera Bradley products are among the more widely known brands, but Ginger said she also likes to

focus on finding collections produced locally.

One of their fastest growing lines, for example, is Daufuskie-based Spartina 449. Founders Kay Stanley and Curt Seymour find inspiration from their Daufuskie Island home to design jewelry, scarves, mixed leather and treated linen handbags, and other accessories.

“I love having a Beaufort product,” Ginger said. “It’s a fairly new company but it’s doing very well.”

The store also works with Maine-based Chart Metalworks. The company uses maps to make earrings or necklace pendants, cufflinks or other items. Ginger said she often suggests the jewelry as graduation gifts. Customers can

request a location and chart scales and fit jewelry with the map. Cufflinks showing Beaufort and earrings showing Port Royal and Lady’s Island

gleamed in a display case.“A lot of people like to give

graduates leaving the area a little piece of home to take with them,” she said.

They even carry a few funny novelties such as the “Dammit Doll,” a person-shaped plush with yarn for hair and a poem stitched to the chest that reads: “Whenever things don’t go so well, and you want to hit the wall and yell, here’s a little dammit

doll that you can’t do without. Just grasp it firmly by the legs and find a place to slam it, and as you whack the stuff out, yell ‘Dammit, dammit, dammit!’ ”

Rossignol’s also holds regular promotions to help other local groups. Earlier in April, the store donated 10 percent of one day’s profits the Junior Service League of Beaufort, a women’s volunteer organization dedicated to helping the area’s needy. Rossignol’s also participated in the 10th annual fashion show recently put on by FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice.

Their next promotion will be Tuesday, May 7, which is Teacher Appreciation Day. Customers with a educator ID can get a 25 percent discount off Vera Bradley products. Any customer can also get a free Vera Bradley Tote if they buy $100 or more of Vera Bradley products.

Kathleen Linn, who has worked at Rossignol’s for three years, said she moved from Boston to Beaufort to retire, but picked up the job to keep her busy. She shared Ginger’s sentiment in giving Beaufort more than just physical gifts.

“People regularly buy their gifts here because of the reliability or our expertise,” she said.

Linn also said she likes working in the community of downtown shopkeepers. Instead of being overly competitive, employees often refer customers to other stores to help them find what they’re looking for.

One of the best parts about her work, she said, is helping young men buy that first special gift for a girlfriend.

“They come in and after talking with them for a while, you get to know them a little bit,” she said. “It’s great to see them leave with something they’re excited to give.”

The owners of Rossignol’s are Ginger Aimar, far left, and Charles Aimar, far right, seen with store employee Kathleen Linn and jewelry designer John Wind.

Rossignol’s is located at 817 Bay Street, Beaufort,

(843) 524-2175 Open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

IF YOU GO

Some of the products featured at Rossignol’s, from left, include Vera Bradley bags; Dammit Dolls; jewelry by Chart Metalworks. Above is a new beach bag by Daufuskie Island-based designer Spartina 449.

Caroline Lutz is a brilliant, caring lawyer, who has combined these gifts with collaboration and grant writing skills to bring new life to the Good Neighbor Medical Clinic. And what has she done for the Medical Clinic? She wrote the successful applications for four grants that the Good Neighbor Medical Clinic was awarded in 2012:

• $5,000 from the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry Touch Tomorrow Beaufort Endowment Fund for technical equipment and quality improvement

• $30,000 from Wal-Mart State Giving Program to expand service to people with low incomes and no insurance

• $5,000 from Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina to expand service and for general operating funds

• $5,000 from the Beaufort Fund also to expand services and for general operating funds.

• $45,000 makes a huge difference to a non-profit organization like the Good Neighbor Medical Clinic,

which had been struggling after missing some granting opportunities in 2011. The grant money will enable the clinic to provide many more services to many more uninsured, low-income clients.

The Good Neighbor Medical Clinic is located in the Professional Village on Lady’s Island and provides free medical care for low-income uninsured residents

of Beaufort County without regard to age, race, sex, ethnicity or religion.

Caroline Lutz, a retired corporate lawyer who serves on the board of directors of the Good Neighbor Medical Clinic and wrote the applications for these grants, was diagnosed with a rare cancer known as SDHB-paraganglioma in 2006. She started working with Beaufort area nonprofits at that time, since she was more physically limited and wanted rewarding

work that would be flexible enough to work around her cancer treatment schedule. Her first experience was with Our Lady’s Pantry — a food pantry run by St. Peter’s Catholic Church at the time and now managed by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charleston. When Caroline began to work for the pantry, the Beaufort real estate market crashed and the numbers seeking food assistance rose dramatically, so she became a very busy and successful grant writer. By the time the pantry was transferred from St. Peter’s to Catholic Charities in 2011 — it was the largest food pantry in all of the counties of the Lowcountry and distributed more than two times the food distributed by the next largest food pantry.

Caroline’s work for nonprofit organizations led to her receiving the 2012 Caritas Award for Catholic Woman of the Year from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston, which includes most of South Carolina. This distinguished award is given annually to one recipient.


Caroline Lutz

I said something like, “Honey, you’re a rock star now; you better get used to it.” In reading an Idol interview with her a few weeks ago, she commented about how strange it feels to be shopping with the other girls and have people stare, want photos, and ask for autographs. She is still that same humble girl who left South Carolina three months ago.

Q: When did you first decide that you were going to see American Idol live? Who did you go with?

A: I mentioned to Candice that I really wanted to go see her in Hollywood. She said she would make sure that I had tickets for the studio-audience. I went to Hollywood with one of my closest friends, Susan Mullikin from Camden, South Carolina. We were joined by family and friends (Susan Webb and Jamie Cheshire) who live in California for the Idol performances.

Susan and I started talking about it as early as February. As Candice made it through more and more rounds, then to the top ten, we started planning and booked our trip about three weeks out. We were asked, time and again, “What will you do if she has been voted off

before you leave?” I think our responses were essentially the same, “First of all she’s not going anywhere; I mean, have you heard the girl sing?” Secondly we replied, “Poor us, I guess we have to spend four days together in Hollywood, California.”

Q: Describe what it was like to be in the audience, and also to see your friend on stage.

A: Candice’s mom (Carole) said to me before I left, “Shana, it looks so different being in the audience. It’s really hard to explain…its so different watching it live!” Carole could not have been

more correct. We were all shocked by a number of things: the studio looks so much smaller than it does on TV; a woman with a plastic cup roams the audience making people get rid of their gum, and admittedly, there is a certain proclivity to look over your shoulder to see which stars are in the audience. Ryan Seacrest announced, Sir Anthony Hopkins on Wednesday and Kevin Bacon on Thursday, but also tucked away that night was Salon Takeover’s Tabatha Cofey.

We were there for one of the most talked about performances (to date)! Seeing Candice perform live, and knowing millions were watching at home ... wow, it was unreal. I am still not sure the whole experience has quite set in.

It was difficult to be so close to her, and unable to run up, throw my arms her and tell her how amazing she was. So at the end of the show, just like any other Wednesday, I fangirled and gushed — via text message.

Q: What has been your favorite Candice performance on the show so far?

A: I really, truly have loved them all, but my default answer always goes back to her Top 10 performance: “I Who Have Nothing.”

Q: If she wins, what do you hope for her future?

A: You mean, when she wins…I hope her future is filled with all she has ever wanted. After some pretty harsh criticism from past tries on Idol, she never gave up. Actually, in true Candice style, she would not take “No” for an answer. She “Straight Up” has shown that she deserves to be crowned the 2013 American Idol.

Q: How do you feel about the outpouring of support from the Beaufort community?

A: “Akeelah and The Bee” is one of my favorite movies. It is a heartwarming story of how a tight-knit community bands together to help Akeelah learn 5,000 words for the National Spelling Bee. It’s essentially the same thing we do, but Beaufort’s version is Candice and American Idol. We talk, we watch, we vote, we threaten our friends if they don’t vote ... it is so gratifying to see the various ways in which this community has mobilized for both Candice and her family. I have shared the largesse of our community with Susan (Mullikin); she recently said, “it’s just like a Cinderella story.” Yes it is! But, in order for this fairy tale to continue, we need to keep momentum strong and “Come Together” (with hundreds of our closest friends far and wide). Beaufort needs to see this thing through, and the only way to do that is to vote, vote, vote.

The unfortunate incidents in Boston two weeks ago prevented a high profile launch of the Digital Public Library of America scheduled at the Boston Public Library. Instead, the Digital Public Library of America quietly appeared on the Internet on April 18.

The DPLA is designed to establish a national network out of the over forty state/regional digital libraries and large digital libraries in the US, bringing together digitized content from across the country into a single access point for end users, and an open platform for developers. The DPLA web address looks a little different: http://dp.la/ but the concept itself is a little different.

The South Carolina Digital Library is one of seven service hubs identified for the initial project. Beaufort County Library has been associated with the South

Carolina Digital Library since 2004. The library was asked to be a pilot project to test whether the inclusion of digital materials from public libraries into the South Carolina Digital Library was feasible. The answer was a resounding “Yes.”

Since 2004, our library has added 848 images to the South Carolina Digital Library. Because the South Carolina Digital Library is a regional hub for the Digital Public Library of America, and our library is a contributor to the South Carolina Digital Library, we are in turn a contributor to the just launched Digital Public Library of America.

By Pamela BrownsteinThe motto of Bella Luna Cafe is

“Nella vita ci e alimento, in alimento la e amore!” which translates from Italian to “In life there is food, in food there is love!” And any diner can tell that the food here is so good because it is prepared with care from fresh, quality ingredients.

Kim ordered a daily special of Soft Shell Crab Sliders. The whole crabs were fried and served on little buns topped with cole slaw. This is a local delicacy for a reason and Kim thought her dish was outstanding, so get to Bella Luna while the crabs are still in season.

Buck tried the Italian calzone, a colossal sandwich stuffed with salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato and onions, and served warm and toasted. He could only finish one half it was so big, but he said it was really yummy.

Our guest Lunch Buncher and former Island News saleswoman Nancy Gregory ordered the Caesar salad topped with grilled local shrimp. I also chose a healthy meal in the form of the Chopped Salad. Made with lettuce, tomato, turkey, salami and Mozzarella cheese, this salad

is so delicious because all the pieces are chopped up super small; I topped mine with ranch and gobbled the whole bowl.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves a variety of gourmet specialties, classic Italian entrees, appetizers and homemade desserts.

Bella Luna Cafe is located at 859 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC. It is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; closed Sunday. Call 843-838-3188 or email [email protected].

“A banking relationship is built on trust.”

The line forms hereBy Celia Strong

We’re still in California this week with another grape variety, and a new wine with some really interesting tidbits. So, off we trip, lessons and drinking. Life is good.

Our wine is from Monterey. Monterey is a county in California, with an AVA named for it that is part of the larger Central Coast AVA. The Monterey AVA was established in 1984 and runs for about 100 miles from its northern point at Monterey Bay to its southern end at Paso Robles. About 40,000 acres of wine grapes are grown in this AVA. The northern part of this area is cooler with daytime temperatures that rarely go over 75 degrees, while the southern part can go over one hundred degrees. Over 50 percent of the grapes grown here are Chardonnay, with Pinot Noir coming in second. The Pinot is grown mostly in the northern part of the region as it does better in cooler climates.

Part of what I wanted to talk about this week is what’s called the Blue Grand Canyon This is one of the world’s deepest marine canyons, with deep cold waters that influence the weather throughout Monterey County. This is the only marine canyon that directly effects a major wine growing region. It is hidden below the surface of Monterey Bay and is 60 miles long and two miles deep. That makes it the largest and deepest on the west coast. (Actually, it is comparable to “the” Grand Canyon in Arizona.) The Blue Grand Canyon is also unique because it is so close to the shore. Protected as a National Maritime Sanctuary, this canyon is a geologic wonder. The BGC (thank goodness for nicknames) provides a pathway for the climate to travel from the sea to the Monterey vineyards. Its 300 cubic miles (miles, not feet) of ice cold water result in fog, wind, lack of rain during the growing season and moderate temperatures. Wines from this area, if allowed to show their origins, “terroir,” are as unique as their home. (If you’ve ever visited the Monterey Bay area, you have seen and felt the effects of this marine canyon. Personally, I never knew to look for it. Which means I might need to go for another visit. Yay!)

The climate in the Monterey AVA is called a thermal rainbow. Going north

to south, there can be a 40 degree difference in temperature. The ocean winds act as a air conditioning system, and can extend the growing season. In the mornings, the whole AVA, north and south, is cool, about fifty-five degrees, and mostly covered with dense fog. As the sun rises, the heat burns off the fog and the temperature in the southern part of the valley starts to go up. As the heat increases during the day, warm air is forced up and there is a low pressure effect. Cool air is drawn into the area from off the water, funneled through the mountain ranges, and pushed down the valley with increasing force (up to 30 miles per hour) as the day gets warmer. This cool air, and the wind it makes, works to cool parts of the area. The 40 degree difference in the temperatures is due to these cool winds. Cooler temperatures determine which grapes do better in which parts of the AVA. Cooler grapes ripen more slowly and gently and intensify their flavors.

In addition to its effects on the climate of the Monterey Bay area, the BGC has its influence on the soils here. There are eight different soil types (mostly loam and some sand) and eighty percent of the vineyards in the Monterey AVA have all eight in them. These soils are alluvial, porous, granite and limestone rich. All of them are ancient marine layers, the results of primordial sea life and coral beds over volcanic crusts. Geologic treasures. All perfect for grape vines.

Moving on, despite the uniqueness of the Blue Grand Canyon, we need to get to our grape for this week — Pinot Noir. I know we’ve talked, several times, about Pinot Noir, and I don’t want to repeat too much. Boring is as boring does. But, let’s just remember that Pinot Noir can be a very difficult variety to grow, but it is also one that can express its origins more than most other varieties. It has a wide range of bouquets, flavors and textures.

The wines tend to be light to medium body with aromas of light to dark cherries, raspberries, some currants. Depending on clone usage, the wine’s color can be light, garnet, to deep ruby. The California style of Pinot Noir can be more powerful than its European cousins, fruit forward and darker colored. In keeping with this style, many California Pinot Noirs are not one hundred percent that variety. Small percentages of Syrah or Merlot, and other varieties, are used to intensify colors, aromas, flavors and body weight. (Remember, by law in the United States, a wine has to be a minimum of seventy-five percent of the grape named on the label. The remaining twenty-five percent is open to the discretion of the wine maker.) The Monterey AVA is the fifth largest California area for Pinot Noir wines.

And, now, we can form our line for this week’s wine. Formation Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir is a great example of what Monterey’s cool climate can do for this variety. The grapes for this wine, 100 percent Pinot Noir, are sourced from several vineyards. All of them Formation

estates. The grapes are hand picked and hand sorted. Then, the juice is gravity fed, no heavy pushing or pressing, and cold soaked. They are fermented in small lots in open-top fermenters and punched down while fermenting. The blended wine, blended vineyards of Pinot Noir, is aged in French oak. All of this making only five thousand cases. The resulting wine is true Pinot Noir, NSA (no Syrah added). It has clean fruit aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries and an earthy complexity. There is a great balance between the acidity and structure with mild tannins. And, the best part, a smooth, silky texture. In the world of red wines, we will probably classify the Formation Pinot Noir as a bit lighter bodied than most. But we have to realize, all wines are not meant to be heavy, and, in this wine we have a great example of what good, lighter bodied wine can be. Full flavors, beautiful texture. And just right for warm weather meals and sipping. For $15.99. So, the line forms here for Formation Pinot Noir. Who’s first? Enjoy.

Formation Pinot Noir is made with grapes that are hand picked and hand sorted.

PET OF THE WEEK

Rolling in itBy Tracie Korol

As much as I advocate for dogs living a dog’s life, I can be as disgusted as a non-dog person when a Best Friend shows up anointed in liquid squirrel, or worse, if there is such a thing. My favorite exquisite boarder, the Spud, is notorious for the zeal he dedicates to finding the nastiest, most putrescent thing on this planet to grind around in every time he visits. He always reappears with a slightly arrogant look of “smell ME!”

In all my years of dog handling I have never been able to move fast enough or yell loud enough to get between a delicious stink and a determined dog. Even dogs on lead in the center of town can and will find a tiny morsel of death upon which to roll. While I thought living in the wilds of Vermont provided limitless opportunity for gross out, clients tell me A Day at the Beach is much worse. For them. It’s a limitless dream come true for their dogs. Why do they do it? Don’t they understand that after we make the Universal Sound of Dismay (“aarrrnnghh!”), the only recourse is a bath?

One theory suggests that the dog is not trying to pick up odors from the stinking mess it rolls in, but is actually trying to cover that smell with their own scent. It is certainly true that dogs will often roll around on something, like a new toy or a new bed, as if trying to deposit their scent. Some behaviorists suggest that dogs will rub against people to leave a trace of their scent and to mark the individual as a member of the pack, much the way a cat

would.Another theory is that rolling in glom is

a sort of calling card. If you watch when they’re rolling in it, they will try to get the smell on their backs, especially between their shoulders or on their necks, but not on their legs or belly. Now watch as another dog approaches. They will come close in a little circle from the front. After some facial and ear movements have occurred and they both acknowledge an approach is safe, the new dog will sniff from the front to the rear end. The applied smell your guy wears overtop his standard “den” aroma identifies him and indicates a certain “rank.” No pun intended.

If you take an inventory of what your dog rolls in you’ll discover they are choosing only to anoint themselves with something organic, such as dung or vintage carrion. Since the wild ancestors of dogs were not only hunters but also scavengers, much of the stuff they rolled in could still possibly be edible. One notion is that once the wild dog rolled in ex-elk and returned to the pack, other members of his group could pick up this scent and know that there was something nearby that could

pass for food. One would expect, based on that theory, that pack members would immediately start backtracking toward the site where their pack mate came from. Sounds plausible.

From this behaviorists’ viewpoint, I believe that when dogs were still wild and had to hunt for a living, rolling in a “cloaking” odor was an attempt at disguise. If an antelope smelled the scent of a wild dog nearby, it would likely bolt and run for safety. For this reason wild dogs learned to roll in antelope dung or carrion. Logically, antelopes accustomed to the smell of their own droppings and carrion common on open plains, would be less likely to be frightened or suspicious of a hairy thing coated with that smell rather than the same visitor smelling like a wolf

looking for lunch. The wild hunting dog could get much closer to its prey. In non-hunting, couch-dwelling housedog time, cloaking in something ripe and organic is vastly superior to a dog’s nose than having to carry a smell of artificial bubblegum-scented shampoo.

I have another theory, however, which may hold no scientific merit, whatsoever. Vision is the dominant sense for humans while for dogs it is their sense of smell. Dogs, like people, enjoy sensory stimulation and seek such stimulation, too. Therefore, I believe that the real reason that dogs roll in obnoxious smelling organic manner is an expression of the same misbegotten sense of aesthetics that causes human beings to wear big jewelry and loud Hawaiian shirts.

Note: Given that so far Spuddy has had two baths within 12 hours due his attention to the mystery carcass in the remains of a controlled burn area next door (just imagine..), I ran out of shampoo. Luckily, I found Cedarwood soap (by Bay Front Treasures) at the Pickpocket Plantation farmers market (Saturdays 9-4). Reading the label I discovered it has zero chemicals, gentle saponified oils — the sudsy parts — AND is anti-putrescent. Sold!
