Reservation needed for dinner.

Hunting Island State Park, along with eight other South Carolina State Parks that lie within the coastal area of the state, are hosting a summer food drive. The food drive began Memorial Day, 2014 and continues through Labor Day, 2014. All donations collected during this time will be given to the Lowcountry Food Bank to help some of the 547,869 South Carolinians who live below the poverty line.

In an effort to collect as many cans as possible, Hunting Island set the bar high. Park staff posted flyers for the community to donate and help build a replica of the historic lighthouse from canned food. Thanks to many caring individuals

and one generous donation from Bi-Lo, this goal has been reached; and, cans continue to fill the collection bins.

Hunting Island would like to send a special thanks to our two local Bi-Lo Stores located in Port Royal and Beaufort for their combined donation of over 670 cans of food. This generous donation from Bi-Lo not only allowed Hunting Island to finish constructing the replica lighthouse, but will also go to help many more of our friends and neighbors in need.

Catherine Williams Brown, daughter of the late Elmer and Ada Mattis Williams was born February 1, 1932 in Burton, South Carolina. On Tuesday July 29, 2014, at Beaufort Memorial Hospital, God summoned Sis Catherine from Labor to Rest.

Catherine, fondly known as “Kitty” and “Miss Kitty,” received her education in the local public schools of Beaufort County. She met and later married her childhood sweetheart, the Late Reverend Joseph N. Brown. They relocated to New York. Together they raised 27 children; 22 of whom were foster children that they loved and cared for as their very own.

She leaves to cherish her precious memory, two daughters, Adola Brown Rutledge and Doris Brown of Beaufort, SC; four sons: Albert Brown (Willa Mae), Kenneth Brown (Georgina), Robert Brown, of Beaufort, SC and Raymond Boben ( Joyce) of New York. Two sisters, Betty Glaze (Leon) of Beaufort, SC, and Jeanette Williams of New York; 14 Grandchildren; 10 Great grandchildren; three brothers- in-law: Joe W Brown (Wander) ofBeaufort,SC, Berry Brown (Cora) of Elgin, SC and Minister Daniel Washington of Beaufort, SC; one, Sister-in-law, Almetia Brown of Beaufort, SC; three Godchildren: Priscilla , Ann and Ruth; Special family friend, Beatrice McCarthy; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many other relatives and friends.

Spanish Count of Güemes joins Santa Elena Foundation

The Santa Elena Foundation Board of Directors welcomed Álvaro Armada Barcaiztegui to the foundation board. Sr. Armada is a direct descendent of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the 16th Century Adelantado Mayor of La Florida (governor general) and founder of Santa Elena. Sr. Armada is the Count of Güemes and is to be named the IX Count of Revilla-Gigedo and XX Adelantado Mayor of La Florida by His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain.

Organized by local business leaders, civic leaders, and scholars, the Santa Elena Foundation promotes the history of European arrival on the North American coast. French construction of Charlesfort on Parris Island by Jean Ribault in 1562 drew a Spanish response. Spanish settlers established the community of Santa Elena in 1569, the first colonial capital in America. The story of European rivals struggling for dominance in North America involved French, Spanish, and English explorers and their interactions with nations of Native American peoples. The Santa Elena Foundation is dedicated to sharing the little known history of this “lost century” through archaeological research, a cultural interpretive center, and a living

history museum.Sr. Armada dedicates his time

to the promotion of 500 years of distinguished family history and public service. The Count is curator of a private archive of original documents, one of the most important private collections in Spain. The archive he believes should be the basis for a new museum in the Asturias region of northern Spain dedicated to historic research. Sr. Armada serves a board member for MAPFRE PRAICO Corporation and CEO of Tourist and Cultural Project Development in Madrid. He brings to the Santa Elena Foundation considerable international leadership experience and a personal connection to the history of Spanish colonization in North America.

Rebecca Compton

By Rebecca comptonThis morning, inspiration arrived as I

was driving out to the beach. The view through my windshield showed a dark, rain-heavy sky. An opening in the clouds, appeared, blue sky beyond, the rim of the clouds gilded with sunlight. Ah, I thought: hope.

In my way of thinking, hope is the most wonderfully nebulous of abstractions, and that very indefinable nature of hope is why I cherish it so much. Hope is the big concept behind my “glass is half full” way of living. Hope has no attachment to a specific outcome; it is simply a way of living with the belief, faith, assurance and, yes, security, of knowing that all will be well. I hope for something positive, beautiful, or healing. I hope for world peace, knowing I can only do my small part in the process. World peace will come – or it won’t. I hope for rain for my garden. Rain will come – or it won’t.

This is not to say I don’t set intentions. I am, fiercely and with every fiber of my being, setting the intention that a loved one’s battle with cancer will result in total healing and the full remission/cessation of cancer. And, I hope for ease and grace during the process. Can you sense the difference?

I also know that hope, because of its very ephemeral nature, comes and goes, waxes and wanes. For me, hope has no specifically identifiable “something” at the end. Indeed, hope has no end. My hopes

may not materialize in concrete ways “right now”, and I know that hope will return; it’s a lovely wave I can ride. And, when I am most present, the Universe rewards and encourages my hopefulness:

a beautiful ray of sunshine piercing a storm cloud; an unexpected smile from a stranger; a loving hug, for no particular reason. Hope is rewarded in small, immediate, meaningful ways. These fleeting, yet transcendent, moments are the constant rewards for living a hopeful life. We can hope for things over which we have no control (rain, world peace, freedom from cancer). And because we have no power over these things, we are free to relax into hope. All that is required is to “be” hopeful; one doesn’t need to “do” anything. To be hopeful requires no extra energy or effort, no preparation, no work. I’m not even sure it requires “presence.”

Hope is a possibility, not a promise. I encourage you to relax into hope. Why

not try it? There is everything (and no thing) to be gained.

Rebecca Compton recently retired from a much loved career as a school librarian. She now enjoys abundant time to think, create, relax, drink coffee, and enjoy sunrises. She is entranced by the unfolding of this next phase of her life.

The many rays of hope

The benefits of exercise and alcoholBy Dr. mark S. Siegel

In 2020, the number of people in the United States with visual impairment – sight loss often caused by eye disease, trauma, or a congenital or degenerative condition that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses – is projected to increase to at least four million. This is a 70 percent increase from 2000 and is due to the growing aging population and prevalence of age-related eye diseases.

To help determine ways to decrease the incidence of visual impairment, researchers at the University of Wisconsin examined the relationships between the incidence of visual impairment and three modifiable

lifestyle behaviors: smoking, drinking alcohol and staying physically active. The research was conducted as part of the Beaver Dam Eye Study, a long-term population-based cohort study from 1988 to 2013 of nearly 5,000 adults aged 43 to 84 years.

The researchers found that regular physical activity and an alcoholic beverage every now and then is associated with a lower risk of visual impairment. The data showed that over 20 years, visual impairment developed in 5.4 percent of the population and varied based on lifestyle behaviors. For example, people who were physically active had a 58 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who were not physically active.

The researchers also found that people who drank alcohol occasionally (defined as those who have consumed alcohol in the past year, but reported fewer than

one serving in an average week) had a 49 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who had consumed no alcohol in the past year.

As with most epidemiologic research, the researchers caution that a limitation to their study is that the findings may be due, in part, to unmeasured factors related to both lifestyle behaviors and development of visual impairment. The data does not prove that these lifestyle behaviors are directly responsible for increased risk. The researchers still believe the research shows good promise for indicating ways that people can lessen their risk of visual impairment through lifestyle changes.

Chances are, not many of you were able to answer that question with a resounding “yes.” Thus, we encourage you to come in for a retirement planning review. In this review, we will discuss your current retirement savings, your future needs, and ways to help you get there.

First, we will determine the value of your current retirement nest egg, which may include savings, insurance, and employer retire-ment plans. Then, we will look at how much money you will need for retirement. We will explore factors such as life expectancies, long-term-care costs, medical expenses, and inflation.

We will also discuss your particular goals for retirement. Whether you want to travel, enjoy hobbies, or work or volunteer part time, your style of living will determine your living costs during retirement.

Last, we will work together to create a financial plan that will help you meet your retirement requirements. We will choose in-vestments that are designed to provide the growth potential you need, based on your risk tolerance and time frame for investing.

Together, we can implement a strategy that will help you plan for your retirement. Please give us a call today.

Are you positive that you will have enough money to live comfortably in retirement?

health tip of the Week

By Ian HartThe word diet usually has a negative

connotation. Diets also never really work long-term. A diet is usually a short-term fix that is perpetuating an issue of the mind. This issue is that we do not do the right things for our bodies on a regular basis, therefore, we need a quick fix because we’ve gone down the wrong path. A lifestyle change is what is needed to create long-term results. A lifestyle change means that we have changed how

we think and how we feel about ourselves in relation to the foods we eat. So, in a nutshell, if you never want to diet again, change your thoughts and feelings about yourself and the food that you eat. It is easier said than

done because people can be addicted to certain foods and created bad habits over

year and years which is hard to reverse. Try this one simple tip: every time you’re about to eat, ask yourself 2 questions:

- Is this food nourishing to my body? And

- Will it make me feel good? Then think about every single bite you

put into your mouth and nothing else and focus on chewing the bite at least 20 times. This is called mindful eating and can change the way you think and feel about food and how the body will

assimilate it. Your brain is constantly talking to your gut and when mindful eating is initiated, so our your gastric juices which will allow for faster and easier break down of food and therefore more nutrients to be absorbed, leading to a instantly increased health.

UScB history professor awarded nEH grantA history professor at the University of South Carolina

Beaufort has been awarded a grant of nearly $200,000 by the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct a three-week institute for school teachers on the history of Reconstruction and its aftermath along America’s Southeastern coast.

J. Brent Morris, Ph.D., an assistant professor of history in the Department of Humanities and Fine Arts at USCB, will share in a total of $34 million in grants awarded by the NEH for 177 humanities projects nationwide. Dr. Morris earned a B.A. degree magna cum laude in History and English Language and Literature at the University of South Carolina in 2001, and an M.A. degree in History at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., in 2008. He earned a Ph.D. at Cornell in 2010, specializing in United States and African-American History. Dr. Morris’s research and academic interests involve Nineteenth Century United States History; South Carolina History; Slavery, Abolition and Antislavery; the Civil War and Reconstruction; and African- American History.

In the latest NEH award, announced July 21, the University of South Carolina Columbia will receive an

outright grant of $199,157 to fund a three-week institute in the summer of 2015 for 30 K-12 teachers selected from across the country. Dr. Morris, the project director, has assembled a virtual who’s who of nationally renowned American history scholars to teach the courses. They will explore the topic of Reconstruction and its aftermath in South Carolina, Georgia and the Sea Islands. The project is entitled, “America’s Reconstruction: The Untold Story.”

Besides Dr. Morris, instructors for the institute will include Lawrence S. Rowland, Ph.D., the university’s distinguished professor emeritus. Dr. Rowland is a noted historian, scholar and chronicler of Beaufort County. He can trace his family’s ancestry back to 1679 when Sgt. Lawrence Sanders, an English property owner, migrated from the Caribbean island of Barbados to the nascent colony of South Carolina. The Sanders family has been in Beaufort ever since.

USCB historian Steve Wise, who earned his Ph.D. at the University of South Carolina, has agreed to teach at the institute. His scholarly interests involve military history, American history and the history of South Carolina.

Yet another luminary is Eric Foner, Ph.D., the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Foner is widely regarded as the leading contemporary historian of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. A former president of the American Historical Association, Dr. Foner is the author of The Fiery Trail: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, which won the Pulitzer Prize, the Lincoln Prize and the Bancroft Prize in 2011.

“This period in history is known for the federal government’s attempts to grant equal rights to former slaves as well as the political leadership of African-Americans in the former Confederate States,” Dr. Morris says. “Reconstruction actually began in Beaufort County (Port Royal) in 1861, the first year of the war, and, though the era fell short of many Americans’ expectations, it laid much of the groundwork for the ‘Second Reconstruction,’ or the Civil Rights Movement, of the 20th century.”

The institute will be housed on the Historic Beaufort Campus of the University of South Carolina Beaufort. The class also will spend extended time at the Penn Center on St. Helena Island, Mitchellville on Hilton Head Island, and Sapelo Island, Ga.

Five classroom teachers were named today as finalists for the Beaufort County School District’s 2014-15 Teacher of the Year. The finalists are Michelle Henry, a master teacher at Whale Branch Elementary School; Caroleen Hodge, a third-grade teacher at Port Royal Elementary School; Annette Lee, a special education teacher at Hilton Head Island High School; Sharon McMahon, a seventh-grade math teacher at Bluffton Middle School; and Amy Simmons, a band teacher at Whale Branch Middle School.

Superintendent Jeff Moss announced the five selections before an audience of more

than 1,000 teachers at the opening session of Summer Institute 2014, the district’s annual summer professional development conference.

“Great teaching is the No. 1 ingredient in an excellent education, and today we announced five top-notch professionals who epitomize great teaching,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “Our finalists are terrific representatives for all of our district’s teachers.”

Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that begins when school-level teachers of the year are selected in April. Those wishing to compete for

District Teacher of the Year submit detailed applications by the end of July.

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

In the third step, the finalists are interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. Those panelists begin by reviewing a video of the teacher doing a classroom lesson. The judges then score candidates

based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching methods as shown in the video, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel selects the District Teacher of the Year in September, and that person represents Beaufort County in the South Carolina State Teacher of the Year program.

The 2014-15 District Teacher of the Year will be announced on Sept. 19.

The current Teacher of the Year is Kristen Karszes, an English Language Arts teacher at Hilton Head Island High School.

Beaufort County students, Marcus Cook, Hezzie Jordan and Dima Shipsey, were among a select group of high school juniors and seniors from around the state who recently participated in the 2014 South Carolina Farm Bureau (SCFB) Youth Leadership Conference.

“Our Youth Leadership Conference allows students to explore opportunities within agriculture while developing their skills to be leaders in the industry,” SCFB Ag Literacy Director, Vonne Knight, said.

The conference was based at Newberry College and featured

a number of workshops focused on leadership and teamwork. Programs that foster understanding and awareness of agriculture and government were also emphasized. Attendees learned about their local, state and national governments and how they can be advocates through the legislative process.

A highlight of the conference included a visit to the South Carolina State House where the students witnessed the swearing in of Interim Lieutenant Governor State Senator Yancy McGill of Williamsburg County.

Beaufort is home to one of the nation’s top high school defensive linemen. Whale Branch Early College High School defensive lineman Nyles Pinckney is ranked 95th on the Rivals 100 for the Class of 2016. The Class of 2016 rankings were released by the recruiting website last week.

Pinckney, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive tackle, currently holds scholarship offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Florida State, North Carolina and South Carolina. During his sophomore season at Whale Branch, Pinckney registered 26 tackles for losses, including four sacks. Pinckney also recorded three fumble recoveries, two blocked punts, one interception and two defensive touchdowns for Whale Branch during his sophomore season in 2013.

Both Rivals and 247Sports ranks Pinckney as a four-star prospect. Clemson was the first school to offer Pinckney a scholarship when he was in attendance at the Tigers’ spring game on April 13. Pinckney visited South

Carolina for practices twice during the spring, but was unable to attend the Gamecocks’ spring game.

The Whale Branch football team will kick off the 2014 season later in the month.

new lacrosse program starts at Beaufort High

Beaufort High School has announced that it will field a girls’ lacrosse team during the 2014-15 school year. The Beaufort High School Athletics Department, under the direction of Athletics Director, Jerry Linn, received enough feedback from female students to announce the formation of a girls’ lacrosse program.

In recent years, the sport that may be experiencing the most explosive growth across the United States is lacrosse. During a 10-year period between 1997 and 2007, the number of lacrosse teams grew from 1,048 to 3,068. In the same period, the

number of participants grew from 45,050 to 126,295, which represents a growth rate exceeding 10 percent every year.

Long established in the northeast United States, interscholastic lacrosse is being added by a number of state associations around the United States. By 2007, 22 states offered boys programs and 23 offered programs for girls.

Currently, Beaufort High School is searching for a head coach for girls’ lacrosse and girls’ golf. Multiple local candidates have already expressed interest for each position.

Rascal captures the 26th Annual South Carolina Governor’s Cup Billfishing series

The 26th SC Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series was completed on July 26th during a tournament held at Edisto Beach.

After five competitions over the course of 10 weeks, the top boats in the Billfishing Series were decided based on billfish points accrued during the season. Points for the five Governor’s Cup tournaments are awarded for released billfish (600 points for blue marlin, 300 points for white marlin, and 200 points for sailfish) and for weighted blue marlin (one point per pound). Boats can also obtain participation points of 25 per event up to a total of 75 points. When the cumulative points

were tallied on Saturday night Rascal, owned by Foster McKissick of Greenville and Norman Pulliam of Spartanburg and captained by Mark Rogers of Pawley’s Island, had maintained their Series lead finishing the season with 3,875 points.

3-D breast tomosynthesis, a powerful new FDA approved diagnostic tool for the early detection of breast cancer, is now available in our area ONLY at the Beaufort Memorial Women’s Imaging Center.

The new 3-D mammograms improve breast cancer detection and reduce the number of those unnerving false positives.

SHOULD YOU OPT FOR A 3-D MAMMOGRAM?Tomosynthesis does not replace the traditional mammogram. But it isrecommended for certain women, including those who:• Have dense breast tissue, because it can mask cancers or lead to false positives• Are considered high risk• Have been recommended for a diagnostic study• Are having a baseline mammogram

By Takiya SmithOver the years writing has become

an outward expression of my very inner thoughts, and it has allowed me to release emotions, ideals and gestures through stories in ways that my pen seems to have a hard time keeping up with. As I sat down to ponder on this week’s topic, I scrolled my tablet full of unpublished pieces and felt lead to share this journal entry from 2011. Ladies, take heart and enjoy. Men, be advised and encouraged.

January 14, 2011 - This morning, my little one woke up, and the first words out of his mouth were, “I need some sugar,” meaning he wanted a kiss. He then proceeded to plant a tiny kiss on my cheek, followed by a big hug as he smiled at me and asked,

‘How’s my great mom doing?’This act of love, compassion and kindness

from my eight year-old son touched my heart and was so special to me in many ways. Day after day, I have watched, listened and learned to see God speaking through my children; and this day, the lesson was no different. To personally know my son would only offer further confirmation that God truly exists and is always speaking.

Since birth, my son has been a child with a marked difference from most children. He

is full of so much compassion, patience and empathy for others…mostly his peers, but especially women. He just seems to know how we should and want to be treated. His kind little heart always has a word of comfort, encouragement or compliment to share, no matter the place or person. At the grocery store he randomly compliments the female cashiers by finding the simplest detail, such as hair, earrings or their smile to let them know that they are ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’ and that “God has blessed them with this job.”

Around the age of six, he began opening and holding doors for my daughter and me. It always brings a smile to my face when I see him rush to the car door, so that his sister and I don’t have to open them. He even gets

a little testy if we happen to do it ourselves and complains that, ‘it’s his job to do that.’ A year later, at seven years old, during our visit to the Civic Center, he stopped mid-stride, leaving his friends to turn and run back down a flight of stairs as he stated, ‘I have to go back and help my mom up the stairs.’ He grabbed my hand and escorted me to the top just as a gentleman would.

The Gov. Paul Hamilton Chapter marked the grave of Lt. Benjamin Wilkins with the SAR Patriot Bronze Marker during a ceremony held at Saint Helena Parish Church, Beaufort, SC on June 20, 2014.

The service was led by Chapter President Mike Keyserling and Vice President Tom Mikell who described the circumstances of Lt. Wilkins participation in the Revolutionary War. Lt. Wilkins was born in Charles Towne, SC, in 1744 and during the Battle of Port Royal Island (also known locally as the battle of Grays Hill) was mortally wounded on

February 3, 1779. Discussing this victory following the devastating fall of Savannah in December 1778, Gen. William Moultrie said that the Americans, untrained militia, had stood well during the Port Royal battle lifting the spirits of South Carolina’s patriots. Among the wounded in this battle was Capt. Thomas Heyward, Jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and a parishioner of Saint Helena’s Parish Church. Two descendants of Lt. Wilkins, Priscilla Perkins and Anita Henson, attended the dedication ceremony.

Keeping the Legacy of Trust


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

Two years ago, Austin Texas native Joel Garrett started 94.5 The Coast, Beaufort’s local radio station, and he hasn’t looked back. Says Joel, “Beaufort is one of the most beautiful places to live, and the people are what really make it. Everyone has been so welcoming and gracious. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.”

When asked about his philosophy behind starting the station, Joel answers with a smile, “Be Live. Be Local. Be Happy. Wait, that might be a song....but honestly our goal is to bring old school radio back to smaller communities like Beaufort. I want people to know the DJ’s. And, 94.5 The Coast should play music the whole family can enjoy-- beach, soul, rock n’ roll, hits from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s and also get some local news, weather and traffic as needed. This is a good ole’ fashioned radio station in the greatest town in the south.”

Joel got his first gig in radio while a freshman in High School. “I got my first job as a DJ at age 15 in Las Cruces, NM on a Country radio station. I knew from that point on, it would be my career. I just wasn’t sure where I would end up or what level in the industry. I worked my way up the radio ladder and decided that radio ownership would be an exciting direction to go, as long as you could do it in a small market with a great, close knit community.”

His first shot at ownership was in the Lowcountry. Says Joel, “I purchased my first radio station with a couple business partners in Hilton Head and quickly decided that wasn’t the place for me. I sold my radio station after a few years and discovered a way to launch Beaufort’s only local radio station.”

As owner and on-air personality, “I still talk too much,” says Joel with a laugh. He credits his staff for the station’s success. “I have the best staff from upper management to part time DJs, and they are all equally valuable to this radio station. There are many moving parts to a radio station. At the end of the day, I’m fortunate to have a great staff built up of a general manager, sales manager, account executives, on-air personalities, promotions and business team members. I make sure all of these pieces of the puzzle are fitting into place.” His mom, Judy Garrett, runs his books “and keeps me in line,” adds Joel. His dad Bert Garrett is a practicing physician.

Joel also notes the contribution of his advertisers. “I have been very fortunate to have some great advertisers that believe in the product we deliver every day. Radio needs both the entertainment side and the advertising side to be successful and we are so lucky to have both”.

When not behind the microphone, Joel pursues sports like golf, snow skiing and asks, “Does beer and bowling night count too?” He’s also a hunter and says one of his most memorable hunts happened a number of years ago when he went gator hunting in Louisiana, (his first hunting trip of any sort by the way). Says Joel, “the sound of a girlfriend’s Dad yelling out ‘shoot em, shoot em!’ will always ring in the back of my head as I wondered what would happen if I missed this 10 ft. dinosaur with fangs.”

He contributes to local charities saying, “I represent ARTworks (The Arts Council of Beaufort County) as their Entertainment Director. I’ve always been a fan of the arts and entertainment. ARTworks is a great place to express it!”

I also support and get behind everything that Friends of Caroline Hospice does. They are a great group with an even better story.”

Joel’s plans for the future are to continue to grow the company and make it even better for his listeners and advertisers. He invites you to tune in to 94.5 The Coast and join in on the fun.

The Coast radio station is located in the Beaufort Town Center- or can be found online at 945thecoast.com

wine

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

Bombs awayBy celia Strong

I know, I know. Not real wine-sounding is it? But, over the years, you must have noticed that different generations have all had their own slang expressions. The slang for teenagers in the 1950’s was not the same as the slang for the decade after it..or two or three decades after. Whatever age you are when you start picking up and using slang expressions, it’s the slang of your generation that you always remember. Expressions that range from ‘Cool’ to ‘What up?’ Whatever the expressions were for your age group, they make sense to you, partly because you had all the peripheral information and stimuli from which they came and partly because you used them as an everyday expression. No matter how many years (decades) pass between the birth of your slang expressions and now, your slang is still current for you.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky and in touch, you get to pick up on a newer slang expression from a newer generation. That happened for me a year or so ago, and I was so excited to learn it. It was really cool.

But, more about my new slang in a moment. Let’s look at some wine information, quickly, before we all forget about the purpose of this column. Our wine this week is a red blend from California. Officially, it is called a “field blend.” A field blend is an older practice that occurred naturally because of a lack of scientific data, meaning before DNA. Grapes would be planted in a given vineyard. These vines would come from wherever, but usually close-by vineyards. Without DNA, which gives us precise varietal identifications, some varieties have similar looking grape bunches, vines and leaves; and, many were mistaken for other than what they were, so more than one variety would be growing in one vineyard.

In smaller vineyards, and before mechanized harvesters, all the grapes would be harvested together. Because they really didn’t know and because it was easier and cheaper to not do it another way, all the different grapes

would be fermented together. Making field blend wines was easy and often made better wines than any of the individual grapes would have. Nature did the blending for the winemakers. But, nature did not let any personal style come into play, like more of one grape and none of another. An example of an old field blend is Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They are still allowed to use up to fourteen varieties to make this wine, which are mostly reds but also a few whites. These were all the grapes that grew in their town, and the blend was easy… it grew that way. And, it was delicious and pretty pricey.

With modern technology, winemaking blends are purposefully much easier and generally considered better than an old fashioned field blend. A winemaker’s blend is his style and price of wine. He can make it as unique or as similar to another wine as he wants. One winemaker or winery can make a whole selection of different blends. However, each variety is fermented separately and subsequently blended. There is total control over the finished wine. And the blend may change from year to year just to keep the wine tasting the same. Remember the ‘house cuvée’ in Champagne? In California, Ridge Vineyards owns a vineyard named Lytton Springs. In was planted between 1900 and 1905, with about seventy percent Zinfandel, twenty percent Petit Sirah and ten percent Grenache and Carignan. For California, this is considered a pretty traditional field blend. (And Ridge still makes this as one wine).

One last thing about field blends. Their initials are F B. F and B is an abbreviation for ‘food and beverage,’ and it refers to all kinds of positions and jobs in anything to do with drinks

and food. We will come back to these initials. You’ll see.

Now that we’re all acquainted and comfortable with what field blends are, we can start to get to our wine for this week. And, yes, it is a field blend. Surprised? Let’s hope not. Our wine is made by a group called The Dirty Pure Project. I call them a group, because somehow, that just doesn’t sound like a winery name. Besides their name, everything else about them is not normal either…not normal in a good sense. Not normal means they don’t use conventional grape varieties or growing areas or blends or styles or names for their wines.

Once these producers decided to make wines, they chose not to do expensive, boutique style Napa Cabernets or costly, small appellation Pinot Noirs, etc. With all the options California has to offer to winemakers, this group chose to make a red wine based on Grenache, using grapes from the Central Coast area and a white wine from Vermentino grown in Lodi…totally off the beaten path. In keeping with their unconventionality, their finished wine bottles do not have foil or plastic around the necks. It’s an extra step, messy and expensive an ecologically not good. You get the idea.

Our wine is their 2012 Red Field Blend. Made from eighty-nine percent Grenache, six percent Barbera and five percent Lagrein, definitely an unconventional grape. Personally, I’ve never heard of it before, and I suspect have never drunk it before. Lagrein, pronounced ‘la green,’ is a red variety from the northeastern corner of Italy. Its wines have dense, dark purple colors with black raspberry, plum and baking spice flavors, a lighter style body with some acidity. But, this wine, our wine, has a special name, besides Red Field Blend. It is called F Bomb. And, now, calling our wine by its name, the F Bomb is a deep, dark red color with black pepper, white flowers, baking spice, blackberry jam and ripe strawberry flavors. And a great velvety texture. For those of you who have children or grandchildren of

a certain age, you may know the slang meaning for F Bomb. I only learned it about a year or so ago. (And, the person I learned it from remembers it too). Finding a wine with that name is about like the first time you got a bottle of Fat Bastard wine years ago. Remember what fun it was just to ask for that particular wine? That’s how I feel about the F Bomb. Now that I know the slang, I just love this wine…its name and also how it tastes.

We all know a great name or a great label doesn’t matter in the least if we don’t like the wine. We may like names and labels, but we do have to swallow it if it’s in our glasses. Fortunately, the F Bomb tastes great. For $14.99, it is the bomb. F Bomb. Enjoy!

Lagrein, pronounced ‘la green,’ is a red variety from the northeastern corner of Italy....the F Bomb is a deep, dark red color with black

pepper, white flowers, baking spice, blackberry jam and ripe strawberry

flavors. And a great velvety texture.

By Wendy PollitzerA few weeks ago, I came to the

counter at Red Roster Café to pick up my to-go order. The lovely and pleasant Ashley Robinson Buckley (newly wed) asked if I still wrote the lunch bunch column, and I sadly said no. When asked to fill in for Pamela Brownstein this week while she takes a well-deserved vacation as Editor of The Island News, I happily said yes. And what a nice surprise it was to be asked to write the Lunch Bunch column about one of my favorite restaurants in town, The Red Rooster Café.

The eclectic and humorous Brendon Smalls, a familiar face at Red Rooster, served us first our drinks…all delivered in the classic southern staple, a mason jar. Joining me were Elizabeth Newberry, Nikki Hardison and Irene Goodnight. Irene ordered an Arnold Palmer and was delighted that Brendon offered the mixed berry honey lemonade as an alternative to the standard summer favorite. In fact, he told us that Red Rooster changes its lemonade options three times per week. It’s

details like that that really sets the restaurant apart from others.

Ashley and Brendan were kind enough to bring us some starters that included their infamous crispy potato chips and four perfectly battered southern fried green tomatoes, served with a yummy guava sauce and topped with roasted red peppers and brie cheese on top of baby spinach greens.

Choosing from the menu for our entrees was the hardest part.

Red Rooster offers a selection of breakfast items (as meals and a la carte), salads, sandwiches, Panini’s and burgers. As diverse as our choices were, our palettes were equally pleased with our plated works of art. Irene chose the Special for the day…an oven roasted chicken breast covered and smothered with pepper jack cheese, crispy bacon and an Italian drizzle squeezed between a toasted hoagie roll. Nikki opted for the Yo Adrian,

a toasted ciabatta sandwich with ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, banana peppers and condiments paired with a classic Italian dressing. Elizabeth ordered from the Panini selections and decided on the Pepper Jack Skip Jack, a sourdough Panini with tuna salad, the obvious namesake…pepper jack cheese and a fresh Lowcountry tomato. I was craving a burger this particular day and thoroughly enjoyed my Kissin’ Kate, a patty topped with roasted red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and finished with a melted brie cheese.

Stuffed and satisfied, we politely asked Brendan for our to-go boxes when he surprised us with yet another treat…four tasty root beer floats. We toasted to a fun summer and drank the delightful, youthful dessert beverage as Brendan brought us even more sugar. He presented a plate of cookies…white macadamia nut, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, rocky road and peanut butter. I had to take some home to my daughters, Abbie and Julia, who subsequently devoured them in 30 seconds flat after dinner.

We had such a delightful experience at Red Rooster as always. It’s a timeless institution in Beaufort, though not very old. Owner, Courtney Keith has figured out a way to create a relaxed atmosphere with traditional ambiance and deliver delicious Southern cooking with a progressive, flavorful twist. Influenced by American, French and Hawaiian cuisine, Red Rooster Café has the comfort of a meat and three diner with the sophistication of a world-class bistro.

Red Roster Café is located at 1210 Ribaut Road and is open Mon.-Sat. from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. They can be reached at 843-379-2253.

...I can imagine a dog might smash a hearing aid simply to kill the offending noise or,

alternately, make a new friend.

By Tracie KorolWhen Dave, our 30-pound brown dog,

first joined the family we had a period of adjustment. Dave’s previous life was on a chain outside a mobile home in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. While a very nice dog from the outset, he had no experience with things of the human world, what was off limits and what was not. My glasses were his target.

On the third return trip to the optician with crunched frames, the technician asked if I knew why Dave was eating my glasses. Um, sport? No… love. Apparently, opticians see this all the time: dog adores his person so much he wants to ingest the face oil smelling frames, the lenses just a bonus crunch. It’s a compliment, a very expensive compliment. The solution? Keep the glasses where the dog can’t reach. I felt just a little stupid at the obvious.

Dogs seem to have the same fascination with hearing aids though I can only imagine, to a dog’s nose, the light coating of ear wax is even more enticing than temple sweat. But it’s hard to appreciate a dog’s adoration when you have to replace that really, really expensive device. Another reason for that kind of destruction, according to a local audiologist, is that hearing aids, even when turned off, emit a high-pitched whine, the classic “sound

only a dog can hear”. In that case, I can imagine a dog might smash a hearing aid simply to kill the offending noise or, alternately, make a new friend.

An additional concern beyond the cost and annoyance of replacement is the possibility of a vet bill if your Best Friend ate the battery. While tiny, those batteries can be dangerous if punctured or crushed by little needle teeth and then swallowed. (Those tiny batteries are also in singing greeting cards, talking books, flash light pens, key chains, novelty jewelry, digital thermometers, watches and cameras, to name a few.)

If you think your pet could have swallowed the battery a trip to the vet for

an x-ray might be in order. It’s possible it could have gotten stuck on something on the way through. Certainly, if you see redness or ulcers in dog’s mouth (lips, tongue), discolored teeth (black or grey), frequent swallowing, drooling or painful or distended abdomen, it’s time to see Dr. WhiteCoat.

From a first aid angle, this is a situation where vomiting should not be induced. This could make any corrosive injury worse. Activated charcoal should not be used, either. It will not bind the toxic

components, and may increase the chances of vomiting.

When a battery is swallowed and is in contact with digestive juices, it generates a small electric current, which burns the tissue next to it. (An experiment showed that a button battery could burn straight through deli meat after only 2 hours.) If the battery is intact you might be advised to feed the dog something bulky—white bread, for instance—to cover and push the battery through to the end. Of course, you’ll have to examine the results to make sure the battery made it all the way out. If the battery is damaged or stuck in a loop of tubing, surgery or removal via endoscope might be in order.

As I learned, the hard and expensive way, to put my glasses beyond Dave’s reach, when you take your hearing aids off, put them high up and in a safe place—a designated box with a grinning dog on it would be a good reminder. Most hearing aids come with comprehensive warranties that cover everything, even damage by pets and loss, so your audiologist probably will just smile and get you a new one.
