Penn Center on St. Helena Island is hosting a Civil Rights Symposium to recognize and commemorate the anniversary of the founding of Penn School and its important role in United States history. Since 1862, Penn School, now known as Penn Center, has been a historic site for education that prepared its students for responsible citizenship, and it has worked to advance the promise of freedom for all residents in the Sea Islands.

Penn Center is organizing a conference to facilitate greater state and regional understanding of this rich history and is developing a network to support that objective. A longer term goal is to utilize

this opportunity to launch the Penn Center Civil Rights Institute, the first of several regional facilities to promote civil rights discourse, organization and planning. This program is sponsored in part by The Humanities Council SC,

whose mission is to inspire, engage, and enrich South Carolinians with programs on literature, history, culture and heritage.

Penn Center is well-situated to lead this contemporary effort to secure a quality education and voting rights for all students. Penn Center is inviting key stakeholders in this movement to speak, including Dave Dennis, Bob Moses, Connie Curry, Cleve Sellers, Chuck McDew, Emory Campbell, Millicent Brown, Hayes Mizell, Dan Carter, Tom Gaither, Jim Campbell, Myrtle Glascoe and other key civil rights activists who were participants in the Civil Rights Movement as it relates to Penn Center.

Armed robbery remains under investigation

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred Tuesday, Nov. 11 outside a home on Martin Lane in Seabrook.

Deputies responded to 80 Martin Lane, Lot # 9, just after 11:30 p.m. in reference to a reported armed robbery that had

occurred approximately 20 minutes earlier. Upon arrival, they met with a 28-year-old female and her 31-year-old boyfriend who advised they had been robbed by two unknown black males.

The victims stated that they had just pulled into their driveway when they were approached by two men. The suspects ordered the victims out of the vehicle and stole cash, a cell phone, and a backpack containing miscellaneous personal items. one of the suspects then struck the male victim in the head with a pistol before both suspects fled the area on foot in an unknown direction.

The suspects were described only as black males dressed in all-black clothing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact either Investigator Cpl J. Snider at 843-255-3421 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372) or text the word TIPSC with a message to CRIMES (274637).

Be vigilant of domestic violence during holidays

The holiday season is upon us which will bring many families together to celebrate. But while joyous for some, this time of year can also prove to be uniquely challenging to families suffering from domestic violence issues.

The heightened emotional and economic tensions that many experience this time of year can be a catalyst to an already unstable domestic relationship. And with the pressure to “keep the peace” during the holidays, victims may be even less likely to report incidents of abuse, further perpetuating the cycle of violence.

As we approach a new year, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s office hopes to encourage our community to join us in the goal of reducing domestic violence not only during the holidays, but also in the year to come.

To improve the likelihood of actually reducing both initial and repeat offenses of domestic violence, a more comprehensive approach is necessary; one that includes the support and collaboration of ALL responsible government agencies and community nonprofit organizations.

Unifying all available resources and exploring new approaches to domestic violence is a mission worthy to the health of our community, our state, and our country.

GENERAL MANAGER

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s office (BCSo) is assisting the Beaufort County Detention Center (BCDC) during a period of transition while they undergo new computer system enhancements. During this process, the “Inmate Inquiry” service normally available on the Beaufort County website (www.bcgov.net) will not be operational.

An updated online search function is being created to work with the new public safety software launched earlier this week throughout the county. This function will allow the public to once again search for and review arrest and

inmate information for BCDC.Until that search feature becomes

available, the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s office will be posting an Arrest Summary Report of all persons arrested by all agencies throughout the county. This list will be compiled daily and published each day for all the previous day’s arrests.

The Arrest Summary Reports can be found on the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s office website (www.bcso.net) by clicking on the “Beaufort County Detention Center” icon located on the Home page.

Inmate mugshots will not be

published with the Arrest Summary Reports during this interim time period.

General information about BCDC and inmates may continue to be found on the county website (http://www.bcgov.net/departments/Public-Safety/detention-center/index.php).

Any additional information regarding any inmate at BCDC should be made directly to BCDC through Lt. Vortisch at 843-255- 5180.

Thank you for your patience and understanding with these endeavors to provide improved services to Beaufort County.

Crews from Beaufort’s Public Works Department began hanging downtown holiday lights last Thursday with the goal of completing the project by late November.

Two crews will start on Bay Street, then move to Carteret Street and the interior streets of the downtown core commercial district, said Isiah Smalls, director of public works and facilities management.

“We always take pride in how Beaufort looks, and hanging the holiday lights puts a little extra sparkle in our town for November and December,” Smalls said.

once Port Republic, Scotts and West streets are decorated, city crews will move down Carteret and Charles streets to Boundary Street.

“We don’t anticipate any impact on daily road traffic, but people will see

minor interruptions to parking as we use a few parking spots for our trucks and crews to install the lights,” Smalls said. “We’ll use traffic cones to mark off the spaces and then move them along as we work.

“This is an annual event and a tradition for Beaufort as we welcome the holiday season, and we hope people will excuse the minor inconveniences as we install the holiday lights,” Smalls said.

By Chris SuddethSatori can be defined as a glimpse of

Nirvana. This glimpse of glory isn’t the calm before the storm, it’s the calming of the storm in our minds that most of us have lived with so long we don’t notice any longer.

for those thrill seekers out there, it’s the moment when you snatch life from the Grim Reaper’s boney grasp.

for the sports nuts out there, it’s the moment when you pull off the impossible golf shot to win the Green Jacket. Reference Bubba Watson’s satori on the 10th hole of the 2012 Masters as he banana-hooked his ball off the pine straw, out of the woods, and into golf immortality.

for the writers, it’s getting that 3 a.m. call of the pen.

for the searchers of Zen, it’s that moment when you’re truly in the now. When the five senses, in addition to that all-important sixth sense, culminate to shove aside the past victories and future defeats, and you

hear God’s whisper clearly in a moment of stillness.

We all pursue it, whatever “it” is. We can all play these roles and more in any given day, or lifetime, for that matter.

Don’t get me wrong, I hear satori’s sweet siren song too. Seductive is she, sexy she is. (Insert Yoda voice in your head.) Come hither to Satori-Sun, she beckons.

Do you need to learn the ways of the force to defeat Darth Vader’s mistress? It would certainly help, but since we live in a busy world and Dagobah is in a galaxy far, far away, we can start with meditation. Meditate on where you are, what you are doing, while you are doing it and what you are feeling and where you are feeling it in your body. Avoid the common misstep of judging your meditation when it goes awry.

(Notice I said “when” and not “if ” in the previous sentence.)

Please be gentle with yourself when you become distracted in your meditations so as not to create a noodle war. (otherwise known as a war of the mind, that if left unchecked, will turn your mind into a wet noodle.) Seriously, we all battle this noodle war, especially as we strive for more and more satori just like the one we had when the skies cleared, it was easy like Sunday morning because you were a Commodore, and the pleasant breeze wouldn’t dare allow the no-see’ums to gnaw on exposed skin. Please remember,

we need our minds, otherwise how do we know when to go to the bathroom, or how to drive home, or any other large or small action we need to complete our day?

Avoid judging missteps back into golf ’s green glory and go cliff diving if you like, but dive into the abyss because you desire it, and not because you remember yesteryear’s bliss that will make you miss the Satori-Sun beaming in your face at this very moment.

You have my permission to go bear hunting with a buggy whip if you yearn to be YouTube’s next virus. or you can find satori, and perhaps Nirvana, by paying attention to each instant the instant it arrives.

When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5-year-old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing® as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes. Contact him at 843-263-2397 or [email protected].

musings from the therapist’s chairHonor the small things about yourself and others. If you filled a room with people who all scored the same on a personality instrument, you would be amazed, not at the similarity, but at the differences. That’s because it’s the small things that make us who we are. Look for those small things in others and in yourself, in so doing you have embarked on an adventure of the minute that actually makes us who we are.

November is Home and Hospice Care Month, set aside to honor those who attend to the in-home health, hospice and community based care needs of the state’s citizens in the comfort and privacy of their homes.

Home care describes a wide variety of health and health related services provided in a home setting to sustain, maintain or restore an individual’s health and well-being. Hospice, which focuses on comfort care and symptom management, is a special way of caring for individuals who are in the final stage of their lives due to a terminal illness.

South Carolinians receive care from in-home service providers located across the entire state. Services provided by these agencies include skilled nursing, medical social work, intravenous (IV) therapy, physical therapy, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, home medical equipment, respite care, personal care services, bereavement counseling, pain management and quality, end-of-life care. These services are provided by a variety of organizations, including Medicare-certified home health and hospice providers, private duty nursing agencies, in-home aide agencies, councils-on-aging, departments of social services, home medical equipment companies, IV therapy agencies and adult day service

providers. Some agencies also provide companion and sitter services, in-home management, home modifications and volunteer services.

Care provided in the comfort and security of an individual’s home through a licensed agency gives individuals, their family, and friends, a sense of control and peace of mind. While it helps keep families together and promotes independence and patient dignity, in-home care also provides a wide range of health care and social services to the patient and teaches families to help care for their family member.

In-home health, hospice, and community-based services compassionately care for citizens of all ages and also provide love, comfort and support at the end of life. The services provide the greatest degree of independence, freedom and dignity possible for patients, allowing them to remain at home, close to their family and friends, in familiar surroundings.

“We believe that working in this field is a great gift,” says Val Halamandaris, President of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. “Although it is difficult, the work in home care and hospice is highly gratifying. It is a great honor to represent those who love and care for millions of aged, infirm, disabled and dying Americans every year.”

November is home, hospice care month

Tidewater holds 7th Annual Service of Remembranceon Saturday, November 8, 2014,

on the banks of the May River, the beautiful Church of the Cross was the setting for Tidewater Hospice’s annual Service of Remembrance honoring patients who had been cared for during the past year.

families and friends arrived from near and far — some coming from as close as a few blocks away while others drove for hours or flew into town to come to this celebration for their loved ones. Hugs and kisses were waiting for them on the steps of the church by the Tidewater staff who had walked this journey of service with them.

Together, with family, friends and staff sitting side by side, the service began with the church bell tolling three times. The opening candle lighting ritual celebrated how memory, gratitude, hope, peace and compassion had accompanied them on their journey with their loved one. Words of wisdom were read and a psalm was prayed by all. A reflection was offered that talked about how important each of their contributions had been to the day to day care of their loved one. They had given the most precious gift to their loved one — it was the gift of their presence. Their giving of themselves was not only transformative for those whom they served, it was also transformative in

their own lives. family members were encouraged to discover this healing gift within themselves.

In the sanctuary, in the center of the remembrance table was a book. It has been a part of each Tidewater hospice service of remembrance. With beautiful music playing in the background, the names of the beloved deceased were read. As each name was called out, a family member came forward to sign the name of their loved one in the Remembrance Book. Each was given a red rose after the signing.

This year, St. Gregory the Great Church’s, Jubilate Schola, came to share their musical gifts with those assembled. The students who make up the schola are from St. Gregory the Great School, John Paul II Catholic School, and the parish religious education program. Under the direction of Mr. Tom Tiehel and Ms. Linda Burkett, co-director, the children played their chimes before the service began. During the service, they sang two hymns which some family members said “sounded as if there were angels in the rafters.”

At the reception that followed, tears could be seen along with smiles of affection and caring. A community of strangers had come together on this special day to remember those lost and to recognize that they were not alone.

By Charles TumlinIt turns out that one of the best

predictors of future success is the ability to manage “hot” emotional states and to learn self-control. The past two months in the equity markets have given just that opportunity once again.

Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel concocted an experiment involving 4-year-olds and marshmallows to test self-control back in the 1960s, and only understood its significance much later.

As Jonah Lehrer writes in The New Yorker: “for decades, psychologists have focused on raw intelligence as the most important variable when it comes to predicting success in life. Mischel argues that intelligence is largely at the mercy of self-control: even the smartest kids still need to do their homework.”

This is very true in financial markets. Temperament trumps brains when it comes to making money over the long run. You can have a great plan, but if you do not have the discipline to execute it, the plan is useless.

News flow in financial markets — much of it alarming, since scary new always gets better ratings — gives investors a multitude of opportunities to behave badly. The best strategy? Distract yourself.

At the time, psychologists assumed that children’s ability to wait depended on how badly they wanted the

marshmallow. But it soon became obvious that every child craved the extra treat. What, then, determined self-control? Mischel’s conclusion, based on hundreds of hours of observation, was that the crucial skill was the “strategic allocation of attention.” Instead of getting obsessed with the marshmallow — the “hot stimulus” — the patient children distracted themselves by covering their eyes, pretending to play hide-and-seek underneath the desk, or singing songs from “Sesame Street.” Their desire wasn’t defeated, it was merely forgotten. “If you’re thinking about the marshmallow and how delicious it is, then you’re going to eat it,” Mischel says. “The key is to avoid thinking about it in the first place.”

According to Mischel, this view of will power also helps explain why the marshmallow task is such a powerfully predictive test. “If you can deal with hot

emotions, then you can study for the S.A.T. instead of watching television,” Mischel says. “And you can save more money for retirement. It’s not just about marshmallows.”

As Mr. Mischel points out, it’s not just about marshmallows. When clients ask me what to do in volatile markets, I only half-jokingly suggest that they read the sports pages. focusing on the business news is just going to make you more likely to react. The more impulsive you are, the more likely you are to make a poor decision.

Self-control is very important when using return factors, none of which offer smooth sailing. Whether you are implementing relative strength or deep value or whatever, the market is going to gyrate and test you — basically do everything possible to get you to abandon your plan. A systematic, rules-

based approach can be very helpful in this regard. If you have chosen a successful long-term strategy, more than anything else, your results are going to be dictated by how well you can follow it over the long run.

social sceneShowcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.

It was it cold last Saturday, Nov. 8, but that didn’t stop 13 dedicated Adaptive Golf participants who braved the “polar vortex” at the Legends of Parris Island. In spite of the 37-degree morning, the PGA instructors had a lot of activities

for the participants, and temperatures did get into the 50s by the time they finished 18 holes.

Beaufort Memorial Hospital and the Legends at Parris Island host the free event on the third Saturday of each month

to introduce individuals with physical disabilities to techniques and equipment they can use to enjoy the game of golf and the therapeutic benefits it offers.

The next Adaptive Golf event will be held Dec. 20 from 9 to 11 a.m. for more

information or to register, contact either physical therapist Steve Giammona at 843-522-5850 or [email protected], or PGA professional Andy Hinson at 843-228-2240 or [email protected].

Don’t let a disability, or the weather, keep you off the golf course


Spanish Count visits Beaufort CountyThis past week, the Santa Elena

foundation had the pleasure of introducing Senor Don Alvaro Armanda Barcaiztegui, the Spanish Count of Güemes to Beaufort. The Count is the direct descendent of Pedro Menendez, the 16th Century founder of Santa Elena (on Parris Island). Menendez established the first continuous European settlement in what is now the United States, on Santa Elena in 1569 and, as governor, Menendez also made Santa Elena the first capital of Spanish La florida.

one of the Count’s first stops in Beaufort County was to the Santa Elena site on Parris Island where he emotionally placed a bouquet of roses on what is believed to be the site of his ancestor’s home. He suggested that this tradition can be continued with a Pedro Menendez Day every year in Beaufort County.

Besides conferring with Santa Elena foundation Board members, he also met with officials from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as well as the mayors of Port Royal and Beaufort, their councilmen and officials.

one of the highlights of Senor Armanda’s trip was meeting with local

middle and high school students on Wednesday afternoon. Students from Robert Smalls International School and Beaufort Academy were able to spend an hour with him, asking questions, learning about Spain’s role in colonizing our country and the important role of Pedro Menendez. He also encouraged the students to learn all they could about the formation of their country so they could take pride in all three colonial cultures, Spain, france and England.

The Count is in possession of the historical documents from Pedro Menendez, including letters from him to King Philip II recounting information about Santa Elena and other important 16th century documents. He is working with the Santa Elena foundation to share these papers.

According to Dr. Andy Beall, Executive Director of the Santa Elena foundation, the next step is to acquire a temporary home so documents and exhibits can be shared with the public.

The Beaufort County Board of Education today gave Superintendent Jeff Moss a positive evaluation for his first year as the district’s leader and extended his contract through June 30, 2020.

Chairman Bill Evans summarized the Board of Education’s evaluation of Moss with a statement delivered on behalf of the entire board:

“The board fully appreciates the energy and new initiatives that Dr. Moss has introduced in his first 16 months with Beaufort County School District. There is a renewed sense of transparency between the Board and the Superintendent, and subsequently with the public.

Dr. Moss has demonstrated an experienced and confident approach to his work that has brought a significant sense of competence to the efforts of the district. The ability to respond to rapidly changing

contentious topics with calmness and new proposals (as demonstrated during the Bluffton crowding and attendance zone meetings) is greatly appreciated. His leadership has brought us several cost-saving plans, most notably in the areas of new construction and establishing in-house legal services.

“Academically, we are experiencing continued gains nearly in every area, and the board is strongly supportive of the early childhood and CATE initiatives which have been introduced and are already being implemented. The meaningful use of technology to support instruction and the numerous IT opportunities for our students will serve them well in whatever endeavor they choose going forward.

“The district is faced with volatile funding; we commend Dr. Moss for his efforts in bringing attention to this

issue to the public and working at both the local and state levels to resolve the concern. We must continue to find ways to do more with less and look at reorganization as a way to reduce costs. The Board has continuing concern, as expressed in comments, in three primary areas: first, and most important, is the small advance being made to overcome the achievement gap. This is an historic reality that has plagued the district for years, and needs to have an immediate solution. The board is willing to support and provide resources as necessary.

“Second is the need to develop authentic alternative education programs across the district that do more than house discipline issues but serve those who struggle with traditional schooling. Programs that address special learning needs also should be a priority.

“Third, to get one and two done, we

must have a fully staffed human resources arm able to attract and maintain the highest-quality staff, ensuring that there is an excellent teacher in every classroom and an instructional leader running every school and that they are held accountable for their work. A priority should be set for identifying a diverse staff.

The board feels very confident that Dr. Moss is the leader we need to make Beaufort County School District a standout not only in South Carolina but in the region and nation. We hope to have a meaningful and successful relationship for many years.”

Moss said he was encouraged by the Board of Education’s vote of confidence.

“I share the board’s commitment to the goals we’ve set for our students and also the board’s sense of urgency that we accelerate our progress,” Moss said.

Board delivers favorable evaluation of superintendent

The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) announced that Beaufort High School student Akasha Nelson has been accepted into the Ambassador Program within the organization. The society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship, and community commitment.

“Akasha has been chosen to be an NSHSS ambassador because of her academics, leadership, and commitment to community service. As an NSHSS ambassador, she is responsible for representing the society in her high school and in your community,” stated NSHSS President James W. Lewis. “We aim to help students like Akasha build on their

academic successes and enhance the skills and desires to have a positive impact on the global community.”

Membership in NSHSS allows qualified students to enjoy a wide variety of benefits, including scholarship opportunities, academic competitions, free events, member-only resources, publications, participation in programs offered by educational partners,

personalized recognition items, and publicity honors.

formed in 2002, The National Society of High School Scholars recognizes academic excellence at the high school level and encourages members of the organization to apply their unique talents, vision, and potential for the betterment of themselves and the world.

see our beautiful town, on the run...Couch to 5K will get you there

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

high school footBall

There is no better way to enjoy our beautiful town than on foot: Running or walking our beautiful trails, bridges and roads. Beaufort is built for runners and walkers. Plentiful sidewalks, scenic vistas, salt breezes, great weather and incredible architecture make for a picturesque journey. We are lucky to have two bridges in town to run or walk across, as well as breezy Waterfront Park, historic Bay Street, and a true gem, the Spanish Moss Trail.

A Couch to 5K program is a fun way for people who want to begin running or walking longer distances. Beaufort’s first Couch to 5K kicked off last year with about 20 participants and 6 volunteer coaches to train for the Chilly Bean Run. The participants had a great time reaching their goals, and that coaches had so much fun that they are doing it again this year to help people get outside and enjoy the fresh air and amazing sights Beaufort has to offer. Couch to 5K applies to runners, walkers, or anyone who wants to train their bodies to move forward for 3.1 miles. This year’s Chilly Bean 5K and 10K (the 10K is new this year) is scheduled for January 31, 2015, and like last year will be followed by a Chili Cook-off.

When Beaufort Academy put together the Chilly Bean Run 5K race last year, they wanted to find a way to encourage everyone to be able to participate in our beautiful Beaufort experience. We chose a gorgeous neighborhood, Coosaw Point, to showcase the unique beauty of the Lowcountry. our route meanders by the water, under canopies of Spanish moss-draped live oaks and amongst stately Southern homes.

The Chilly Bean Couch to 5K training program is customized for the participant, depending on your personal goals. Last year, they had fit folks who wanted to add running and racing to their fitness regimen, folks who had not exercised in a long time, and several parent-child combos which were especially fun and rewarding.

Each participant is assigned a coach, and the group run/walk format has built-in accountability and motivation. Utilizing a simple formula, Couch to 5K programs start participants on a 30 minute per session training plan. The 30 minutes

includes a run/walk interval that gradually builds the group from more walking than running to more running than walking. Everyone goes at his or her own pace so there is no pressure to go faster than what is comfortable.

Group runs this year start in December. Sign up for the Couch to 5K today by downloading the form found on our website, www.chillybeanrun.com. Locations for our group runs are some of the most beautiful in town: Waterfront Park, the Spanish Moss trail, and the race route in Coosaw Point.

If you are thinking about joining us, here is some feedback from last year’s Couch to 5K participants and coaches:

Participant Nancy ferry says: “Since I had never run before I thought I would challenge myself to see if I could do it. Also, I thought this would be a start to other 5K races for other charitable fundraisers. Knowing that I could do this with a group gave me the confidence that I could finish. Training with others gives you that extra confidence that you can compete and finish a race. It is very motivating with others challenging you and encouraging you. I would encourage anyone to sign up — you feel accomplished and motivated about exercise in general. My race goal was not to score any fabulous time but just to

finish the race. With people encouraging you along the way it was easy to keep going and not stop. Remember, age is not a limiting factor if you feel that you are able to move your feet!”

Participant Emma Roddey says: “Tim and I loved being involved in the Couch to 5K last year. It was a great way to kick start a life change and have a great time. I strongly recommend everyone who is on the proverbial ‘Couch’ to jump off of it and join this event. It is super fun and very comfortable for a true new runner/walker.”

Coach Gina Staley says: “I think what is so motivating about a Couch to 5K program as a coach is that everyone starts somewhere. You literally just have to get off that couch and make a commitment to yourself that you are going to cross the finish line. Keeping the training fun, lighthearted and motivating is the key to success and that is what I try to do as a coach. Race day is the culmination of all the work put forth by the participants. I ran the entire race last year with one of our Couch to 5K participants. As a coach you know when to push them and how to motivate them as they run because for the past several weeks you have gotten to know the runners and what they need from you. It is exciting to see each runner cross that finish line

and run their own race! My advice to anyone who is considering signing up is to do it! You won’t regret it! once you make the commitment to the training it does become fun. You will surprise yourself and there is no better feeling than crossing the finish line. Chances are you will leave that race planning the date for your next one!”

Coach Megan Taylor says: “I am personally motivated by the participants themselves. When they get a big smile on their face when they realize they can do it, that they can be a runner is incredibly inspiring. Race day was so fun as a coach. I was totally motivated at the race by the participants and their energy! I’d tell anyone who is thinking about participating to just get up and do it! You’ll meet new people, make new friends, see the beautiful area we live in from a new perspective, and challenge and surprise yourself! one of the reasons I love running as a way to get in shape is because you can do it anywhere with minimal equipment, and it is easy to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I don’t feel like going for a run 100 percent of the time, but when I’m done, 100 percent of the time I’m glad I went!”

We hope you will plan to join this year for another exciting Couch to 5K program.

Beaufort, SC 29903 Powell-Elec.com

An evening of gourmet soul food, Gullah art and crafts, topped off by the rousing original musical, Gullah Kinfolk Christmas Wish, is scheduled friday, December 5 at 7 p.m. at the University of South Carolina Beaufort’s Center for the Arts.

The full-stage, original musical, is designed to capture the spirit of the Christmas holiday season. The show stars Aunt Pearlie Sue, a nationally acclaimed singer, writer, storyteller and teacher. It also features the Gullah Kinfolk, a cast of 20 professional singers and dancers and is intended for people of all ages and races. The performance takes place during the final Christmas before the Civil War in 1860 shortly after South Carolina seceded from the Union when passions are high with hopes for freedom. The set depicts scenes from Africa, the master’s “big house” and plantation slave quarters.

The show and the persona “Aunt Pearlie” were created by Anita Singleton-Prather, a former

teacher and ordained minister whose mission is to preserve Gullah culture and history through her performances. She and her group have appeared many times for school children throughout South Carolina and across the nation. They recently completed the soon-to-be-released film, “Circle Unbroken: The Story of the Gullah People from Africa to America.”

The evening is scheduled to compliment other annual events in Beaufort, including Night on the Town, Light up the Night and a Christmas parade. for more information on these events, visit www.downtownbeaufort.com.

“We want to share our yuletide blessings with great Gullah food,

STEPHEN W. DURHAM, DMD

I became a patient of Dr. Stephen Durham after hearing of his many

successes in treating people with

TMJ. A treatment plan was designed

specifically for me using the latest and

most advanced technology available.

I now have an improved bite, a great

smile and secure, stronger teeth. The

fact that I was able to nap through

most of the procedures was a miracle

for this “denta-phobe”! I highly

recommend Durham Dental!

Beaufort Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Holiday at the Pops’The Beaufort Symphony orchestra

under the baton of Maestro frederick Devyatkin will weave musical magic this holiday season with traditional and contemporary “pops” arrangements of some of the season’s most popular tunes when “Holiday at the Pops” comes to the stage on Dec. 4 and 7.

Beaufort Symphony Pops on Parade“The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers”

played by the Beaufort Symphony Pops opens the festivities with arm-swinging melody and strutting rhythm that captures the vision of jauntily strutting toys. Known around the world, German composer Leon Jessel originally wrote the piece for the piano in 1897.

Traditional English Folk Song and Carols

Conductor Leopold Stokowski and arranger Percy Grainger collaborated to produce a full orchestra version of the traditional British folk song, “Shepherd’s Hey,” and composer Vaughn Williams arranged some of the most popular English Christmas carols in a holiday medley that will stir up your holiday spirits.

musical magic in Classic Christmas Poem

The classic poem, “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” has been set to music by master orchestrator Bill Holcombe, who arranged for and played in the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Tex Beneke and fred Waring.

Special guest Pastor Steve Keeler of the Sea Island Presbyterian Church where the orchestra now performs

will narrate the poem for the audience. originally titled “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” the poem was written in 1823 by Clement Clark Moore for his children. It is arguably the best known verses ever written by an American, and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-19th century to today.

Beaufort Symphony Strings on stage

After intermission, the Beaufort Symphony orchestra Strings will take the stage to perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s masterpiece, “Brandenberg Concerto No. 3 in G Major.” Written in 1721, the whole collection of six works by Bach is widely regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. following Bach will be

Bill Holcombe’s “Christmas Jazz Suite” and the sizzling “Wizards in Winter” as performed by the Trans-Siberian orchestra.

Tickets and new location directionsMark your calendars and make your

plans to attend the Thursday, Dec. 4 concert at 7:30 p.m. or Sunday, Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. at the orchestra’s new venue at Sea Island Presbyterian Church on Lady’s Island.

Rossini’s delightful comedy ‘The Barber of Seville’ By Alan Schuster

Rossini, like Mozart, was quick, clever and gifted when it came to meeting short deadlines imposed upon them by theatre impresarios. “The Barber of Seville” is a good example. After accepting the commission from Rome’s Teatro Argentina in 1816, Rossini took one month to agree upon a subject, produce a libretto, compose the music and stage it. of course, it helped that he “borrowed” eight of the 20 set pieces from some of his earlier works. It’s also been said that it took him only 13 days to write the music, all of them in his pajamas, unshaven. “How ironic,” a friend remarked “that you wrote the Barber without shaving.” “But if I had shaved, I should have gone out. And if I had gone out, I should not have come back in time to finish it in 13 days.” He was 24 at the time.

Act i: Seville, late 17th century. Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, and comes to serenade her. He pretends to be a poor student (Lindoro) so that she will not be influenced by his rank. figaro arrives, a prominent barber from Seville. They overhear Bartolo planning to marry Rosina. figaro suggests that the Count dress himself as

a soldier, having the right to be quartered in Bartolo’s home and thus gaining access to Rosina. Rosina has fallen in love with “Lindoro” and uses all of her skill to outwit Bartolo. While the Doctor plots with Don Basilio, Rosina’s music teacher, she secures the help of figaro. When Almaviva arrives in disguise, he discovers that Bartolo is no longer obligated to house the military. The ensuing confusion attracts the police, and Almaviva avoids arrest only by secretly revealing his identity to an officer.

Act ii: The Count again tries to visit Rosina, this time dressed as a music teacher, claiming that Don Basilio is ill and that he is his replacement. He begins a music lesson with Rosina, but Basilio himself arrives. This crisis is resolved but Basilio soon recognizes “Lindoro” and chases him out. During a storm, Almaviva and figaro climb through a window to free Rosina. Bartolo nearly foils their escape, but through figaro’s quick thinking, Almaviva and Rosina are united and all are reconciled in time to join in a happy finale.

The music: After a dazzling Rossini overture, figaro makes a great first impression, entering the stage with his popular cavatina, “make way for the handyman ...”, in which he boastfully

recites his resume. “figaro here, figaro there, figaro everywhere!” This leads to an exceptional figaro/Count duet “With this idea ...” as they cook up a plot against Bartolo, enlivened by a fast pace with crescendos. The composer’s esteemed biographer, Stendahl, wrote that this passage was “the best thing that Rossini has ever done, and consequently the best thing that has ever been done in the entire history of music.” [written in 1824].

The last scene of the act is a remarkable start-to-finish stretch of Rossini’s distinctive talents, lasting nearly 40 minutes. It begins with Rosina’s “i heard a little voice ...”, telling of her love for “Lindoro.” It’s a challenging and beautifully written aria, tempting sopranos to do some embellishments near the end. Basilio’s buffa aria, “Calumny, like a sigh ...”, is a showpiece for comic characters, in which he plots a “whispering campaign” against Almaviva. It starts softly, but soon the pace becomes a run of quickly spoken words (pattering). This was a first for Italian opera and caused an immediate sensation. A very nice duet with figaro and Rosina follows, leading to another fine aria, Bartolo’s “To a doctor ...” Like “Calumny,” it’s a gem of wit and patter. The act’s finale, “Awestruck and immovable”, is an elaborate and ingenious sextet, ending with the speed of a runaway train — as well as a huge challenge for those who write subtitles. opera historian Charles osborne defined it as “Rossini at his magnificent best, in which the characters

find themselves led by way of a crescendo to a riotous climax.” [written in 1994]

The second act — with half the time and notes — begins with the phony music lesson, “Peace and happiness,” perhaps the funniest scene of the opera. The highlight, though, is a quick and tuneful trio for figaro and the elopers, “What unexpected bliss ...” ending with the irresistible harmonies of “zitti, zitti, piano, piano” (Quickly ... softly). The finale is a brief and cheerful ensemble, often performed as an upstage salute to the audience. [Running time, excluding intermission: 2:15].

In 1822, Rossini paid a respectful visit to Beethoven in Vienna at a time when he was almost totally deaf. “So you’re the composer of ‘The Barber of Seville,’”Beethoven said. “I congratulate you. It will be played as long as Italian operas exist.” When he was reminded that Rossini had written several earlier comic operas, he replied: “Yes, I looked at them.”

Starring Christopher Maltman as figaro; Isabel Leonard as Rosina; and Lawrence Brownlee as Count Almaviva. Michele Mariotti conducts.

All seats are general admission. Adults, $20; oLLI members, $18; Students, $10. or order online at www.uscbcenterfor thearts.com.

The opera will be broadcast from The MET to the USCB Center of the Arts on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 12:55 p.m. Box office opens at noon. for more information, call 843-521-4145.

for Beaufort native Stephanie Greene, it’s hard not to step out and get involved

it’s not easy being GREENEStephanie Greene spends her work

days with 55 grandparents. She is the Business office Manager and Community Marketer for River oaks Assisted Living, and she says she and the rest of the staff members “are a family with 55 grandparents.”

At River oaks, Stephanie says she does a little bit of everything. “I market our facility throughout the community and I take care of all the business office needs such as payroll, insurance, and human resources-related issues. I also oversee activities and social programs that enable our residents to be part of the greater community.”

Except for the time spent in Columbia attending the University of South Carolina, Stephanie has lived her entire life in Beaufort. Her father, Robert “Bobby” Greene, is a loan officer at Palmetto finance on Lady’s Island and her mother, Patsye Greene, is the Register of Deeds for Jasper County.

Stephanie says that after college she wanted a career that would allow her to make a difference in people’s lives. Her passion for the elderly and love of the Beaufort community were also elements that made the position at River oaks a good fit for her.

“I never know if I am going to be the last smile someone sees or the last laugh they hear or the last person to tell them good morning or I love you. I come to work every day knowing I can make someone’s day better,” she says.

Even though she refers to River oaks residents as her grandparents, Stephanie says she didn’t expect to get so attached to them and their families.

“I love the fact that I am able to maintain a personal relationship with all of them. No one day is ever the same. It is surprising how much fun Bingo can be at 3:00 in the afternoon with a room full of seniors. one of my favorite times of the day is listening to them reminisce over a bottle of wine at happy hour. The life lessons I learn from their experiences are amazing.”

Stephanie’s philosophy behind not

only her work, but also every activity and challenge she faces is Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” And her activities and challenges are quite impressive. Although she has a fear of heights and bridges, she bungee jumped and ran the Cooper River Bridge and the Savannah Bridge. She’s also an avid runner, completing three half marathons in the past year and training for a full

marathon.Stephanie is an ambassador for

the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. She is a member of the Sea Island Rotary, where she serves as the Social Chair. She is one of the redefining founders of the Lowcountry Jaycees and serves as the marketing and membership coordinator for the organization. She is a member of the Leadership Beaufort class of 2015 and she is a member of the Beaufort Republican Women’s Club. She is also a member of the sponsorship staff for the 60th Beaufort Water festival and she is an activist for Alzheimer’s family Services of Greater Beaufort. She attends Cornerstone Christian Church where she is a member of the prayer team.

She recently was awarded the 2014-2015 Lowcountry Young Professional of the Year Civitis award. In September, she received the Rookie of the Year award for the Sea Island Rotary Club.

one of her most recent accomplishments is becoming the president of the University of South Carolina Alumni group for Beaufort County.

Stephanie says she plans to continue to step up and stand out in the community.

“God knew what he was doing when he opened this door at River oaks for me because after working with so many active seniors and hearing their life stories, I know I want to leave behind a legacy of service above self. More young people need to step up and help bridge the gap between where Beaufort has been and where we want to see Beaufort go.”

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

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

with your gums and underlying bone.

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

problems - thus, the importance of dental cleanings.

Dataw Island is a gated community known for its philanthropic residents and a spirit of giving. In the last three years, however, Dataw has made a special commitment to the support of veterans.

This summer, Dataw Island was the site of the Simpson Cup qualifying tournament. This tournament determined the U.S. players for The Simpson Cup, a Ryder Cup format tournament held between the U.S. and Great Britain. The teams are comprised of members of military personnel who have been wounded, injured or sick as a result of their service to the country. This tournament was held this year at the Congressional

Country Club in Maryland.Dataw Island also held their annual

Veterans’ Purple Heart Golf Classic on November 11, 2014. This event raised over $31,000 for the on-Course foundation, folds of Honor and the Military order of the Purple Heart. The Veterans Day Tournament included members of the victorious American team from the Simpson Cup.

As part of the Veterans Day celebration, Chris fearn, a golf professional at Dataw, played 135 holes of golf in one day and raised over $11,000 from pledges from members and residents.

“Dataw Island has embraced the support of veterans like no other community I know,” said Ted Bartlett Dataw General Manager. “With over 80 veterans living on Dataw Island, the giving comes from the heart and appreciation for the sacrifice of these men and women.”

Dataw Island will again hold the Simpson Cup qualifying tournament in May 2015. The community has also been named a patriotic golf course from the folds of Honor foundation.

Glenn Blackburn a Dataw resident said, “It is our pleasure to host these golf event for these brave heroes.”

By lee ScottWhat happens to a person when they

retire? I was pondering this question earlier this fall when I attended the friends of the Beaufort County Library book sale at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. As my husband and I walked around the endless tables filled with history books, cook books, fiction and non-fiction, we had a chance to talk to the volunteers.

The entire team there had such energy and enthusiasm for the book sale and thanked us for supporting the fundraiser. It was interesting to discover that many of these volunteers came to the Beaufort community from all over the United States. A majority of them were Baby Boomers who came here after working in their professions for 30 or 40 years; professions that defined them. When I

asked a few of them what they did before retiring, their responses were, “I used to be ... (fill in the blank)” a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher, a business owner or a soldier.

The truth is that just because someone has stopped practicing a profession doesn’t mean they have stopped being that professional. Doctors don’t stop being doctors and lawyers don’t stop being lawyers. We can’t disregard

the years of education, training and experience that come with any career. Thankfully, all that talent does not disappear when the paycheck stops.

We are lucky to be living in an area with so many “unpaid professionals” who contribute unpaid volunteer hours to our community. According to the Volunteering in America website, www.volunteeringinamerica.gov, South

Carolina registered 133.4 million hours of volunteer service in 2013.

There is an incredible amount of talent working without pay to help strengthen our community. Many nonprofits, for example friends of Caroline Hospice, Habitat for Humanity and multiple local churches, depend on these professionals.

And many of the veterans who return to this area donate their unpaid hours to military-related nonprofit organizations such as The Wounded Warrior Project and Wreaths across America.

It is very clear to me that the volunteers in our community are not “used to bees” — they are vibrant individuals translating all that energy and knowledge to help improve our community. Retirement has a whole new look to it now.

Now what?HIGHLIGHTING DAILy LIFE OBSERVATIONSLee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. helena island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

“Wishing everyone a blessed & safe thanksgiving & holiday!”

By Noel TillmanBig events come and go in Beaufort.

They leave us with a sense of pride in what a small town on the sea can do when it works as a community. We have a few photos, we have a few memories, and we have a few stories to tell our out-of-town guests when they come visit.

Most event organizers process their undertakings and volunteer efforts, they address what they did well, and what they need to work on. Sometimes we hear about those after-action summaries, sometimes not.

Recently, some of the volunteers met at the Technical College of the Lowcountry to celebrate and do a little “processing” of the CAPA Ghost Tours program for 2014. Here are some of the stats and numbers they discovered.

• Child Abuse Prevention Association

(CAPA) and Exchange Club staff, along with other volunteers, played host to about 30 of the 250 folks who made this year’s event a wonderful success. Yes, It took 250 volunteers to run the event for nine nights, many putting in 50 plus hours during the month of october.

• Can we literally say that the tours have drawn thousands to the city of Beaufort every october? Yes! more than 2,400 guests went on tour this year, and that exceeded past the high in years past by more than 200 ticket purchases.

• CAPA and the Beaufort Exchange Club have made this event a tradition in Beaufort and the town has become a destination site in mid-october because of it. What establishes a “tradition” in a little town like Beaufort? How about 22 years of operation. That puts its start in 1992.

• What roles did the 250 volunteers play? They dressed as ghosts or visions, acted as safety patrollers (on foot, in cars, on bikes), organizers, planners, ticket sellers and more.

• Thirteen “visions” appeared in parks, on side streets, near bridges, and from behind trees. Many of the volunteers have been doing it for a dozen years or so. Local residents make them feel welcome by offering a place to sit on a porch, a refreshment, and some conversation during the three to four hour shifts at the various locales.

one vision shared this: “Some nights are hot and the makeup streaks or your wig seems to attract gnats. Some are cold and lonely (no neighborly porch sitters on those cold nights).”

What is the one thing all the volunteers have in common? A love of children,

a desire to see no child abandoned, abused, or neglected. The CAPA shelter currently is providing a home for 13 children, ages 4-17. That changes day to day, and it is usually upwards of that number. often those children are being brought to the shelter in the middle of the night due to domestic disputes in their homes. The funds raised will directly benefit those kids. The money will also help fund outreach programs that address parenting skills, teen pregnancy, crib safety, and more. That compassion, more than anything, is the legacy of the Ghost Tours.

Beaufort is a town that cares.Compassionate Beaufort Communities

The Ghost Tours legacy to better Beaufort lives on

correction In the November 13, 2014 edition of The Island News, the article by Jim Hicks announcing the purchase of the Celadon development on Lady’s Island by the Blue Sky Corporation incorrectly indicated that the property had become bank-owned as a result of foreclosure prior to its purchase by Blue Sky. Celadon has not been the subject of foreclosure.

By Pamela Brownsteinon a chilly afternoon, it’s always

comforting to meet your friends at a cozy cafe and indulge in fabulous appetizers, excellent entrees, maybe a little champagne, a perfectly made latte, and top it off with heavenly desserts. This perfect scenario can be found at Beaufort’s own Magnolia Cafe.

Husband and wife owners Evangaline and Dana Jing should be commended for their focus on local ingredients and homemade baked goods and friendly service and beautiful presentations.

The Lunch Bunch started with three amazing appetizers: Shrimp salad made with local shrimp; Hummus with fresh pita; and a divine Smoked Salmon cream cheese with homemade bread.

Kim loved her chicken salad over a bed of greens with her favorite homemade poppy seed dressing on the side.

I ordered the Lump Crab Cake and it was so fresh and delicious.

Magnolia Bakery Cafe and Garden Gift Gallery is located at 703 Congress Street, Beaufort. It is open Monday through friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sunday brunch from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 843-524-1961 or visit www.magnoliacafebeaufort.com.

“A banking relationship is built on trust.”

By Celia StrongThis final week before Thanksgiving,

here is a list of a variety of red wines just right for the holidays. In many ways it is easier to find a red wine to go with turkey dinners than it is to find a white wine. I guess, too, that can make it harder to choose just one wine. With all the choices, I, for example, like to not settle for just one option. That way, if I feel one way in the morning, I’m covered. And if I feel a change by mid-day, I’m still covered. And, again, if I feel like something else when all the food is ready, I’m still prepared.

Chandon Pinot meunier ($19.99) To start with, we’re going to go back to a wine that I have been drinking for

years, through m u l t i p l e vintages. Pinot Meunier is a red cousin to Pinot Noir; same basic flavors but more intense and more body in the wine. It is

the third variety used in the Champagne region, and, as you can see from the label, this still wine comes from the California sparkling house of Moët and Chandon. Red Pinots always pair well with a turkey dinner, as well as duck, pheasant and other poultry. And this one was described as “better than sex.” Maybe not, but that is quite a recommendation. At a discounted price even.

Côtes de Beaune-Villages ($25.99) Another blast from the past — a Pinot Noir from the Burgundy region of

france. We need to r e m e m b e r not only how good this wine is, but what it’s name (appellation) s i g n i f i e s .

Côtes de Beaune-Villages in not a town

wine, where the grapes come only from the named town, it is a sub-regional appellation that is used to blend grapes from several towns. These grapes are way better than many town grapes, especially in this case with this specific producer. Pommard is a town, and an appellation, that makes red wines in this part of Burgundy. Drouhin’s Pommard costs almost $60 dollars a bottle. Because Burgundy wine laws say they can only make so many gallons of wine per acre, the leftover Pommard grapes go into another wine. And, guess which wine the leftovers get blended into? for less than half price, and a limited quantity, we get great Pinot Noir.

Finca la linda malbec ($10.99). from Mendoza, Argentina, this Malbec is medium bodied with intense plum and smoke flavors. Smooth and mellow,

great for sipping and for a holiday dinner. This wine is 100 percent Malbec, made from hand picked and hand d e - s t e m m e d grapes that are

grown at over 1,000 feet above sea level. Temperature controlled fermentation enhances the great fruit flavors. All under the watchful eye of the owner at the Luigi Bosca Winery. over the last several years, Malbec wines from Argentina have continued to grow in both in popularity and availability. “The pretty little farm,” that’s what “finca La Linda” means, has been a long time favorite.

Steele Shooting Star Syrah ($11.99) from California, Mendocino County, this Syrah is above and beyond its price

range. Made by Jed Steele, this variety is his personal favorite and the Shooting Star Syrah is a pet project for him. This wine is made from grapes harvested from up to five different vineyards, giving it a complexity that only one or two vineyards can’t. Hand picked, fermented for eight days, eight months barrel aging in french and American wood, this really is a great wine for a fair price — more than fair. Smooth tannins make this a great choice for Turkey Day, with the food and sipping as you go through the day.

Thorny Rose Red Blend ($7.99) A Washington state wine made from several varieties — Merlot, Cabernet, Malbec and Syrah — that each gives its own flavors to this wine, so that, in your glass, it is very multi-layered, or complex, in wine speak, and more flavors are the sign of a well made wine. It’s the difference between having a plain hamburger or hot

dog and having one with “the works.” This wine has plum, black and red fruits, smoke, vanilla, baking spices, caramel and more; pretty

amazing when you look at the price. Not too heavy, but it can stand up to white and dark meat and all the fixings. And, for the price, you can make sure you have a few extra bottles handy for when you catch a minute to yourself to enjoy a quiet glass.

JCB No 69 Rosé Crémant de Bourgogne ($17.99) Another Pinot Noir wine, also from the Burgundy region of france. But this one is a bubbly. As with any holiday, bubbles become more important and more fun. A glass or two of bubbles is sort of how many of us know we are having a holiday. Besides being a deep rosé color, so it looks really pretty in your glass and on the table, this wine is absolutely lovely. Smooth and fresh and clean and dry, it will go especially well with the food. We did say Pinots would, but it gives the whole day a lift, and a lift on a holiday is always a good thing. Another tidbit on this wine? Crémant does not have as many bubbles in it as Champagne, about half as many, actually, which means it is easier to drink and easier to drink more of because there’s less air going into your stomach, you know. There’s enough hot air going around on Turkey Day, so keep it on the outside!

So, here we have some choices for holiday reds. As I looked back over white and red wine choices for the last couple of years, I found some of them were repeated, so it’s good to know that some of these wines started off good and have remained good, which is the great thing about wines. We can all always like our old favorites and we can all find new ones we like just as much. And, that is the best wine lesson ever! Happy Thanksgiving and Good Wines. Enjoy!

All the wines on this list can be found at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

from the front

Their perspective will be enhanced by the contributions of local experts on the topic such as Emory Campbell, Joseph McDomick, Thomas Barnwell, Victoria Smalls, and Maria Benac.

Invited scholars and activists such as Vernon Burton, Jack Bass and William Hine will address issues including the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the repeal of key components of federal protection of the right to vote, the re-

segregation of public schools, the school to prison pipeline, the role (and peril) of historically black colleges and universities in today’s society, and the role of museums and programs of social justice in the contemporary civil rights movement.

As part of the conference, Penn Center will also facilitate the participation of young people in workshops and panels on police violence and strategies around achieving a quality public education. This includes working with Dave Dennis, civil rights organizer from the 1960s, and another significant leader from that era, Bob Moses, who founded the Algebra Project and Young People’s

Project in 1990. This focus on issues facing our communities currently will gain purpose through a retrospective look at recent documentaries on freedom Summer and freedom Riders, integral components of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as a screening of “The Corridor of Shame,” which drew attention to the inadequacies of local education programs.

The conference and the launching of the Civil Rights Institute at Penn Center will inform local, state, and regional citizens and leaders of this very crucial history. This, as noted, will also contribute to the content of professional

development for teachers, the growth of leadership potential of young people, and the increased vitality of education throughout South Carolina. finally, these activities will lift up the role of Penn Center and Beaufort in the growing regional and national efforts and discussions about quality public education in the country.

for more information on the Penn Center Civil Rights Symposium, schedule of events, and ways to sponsor and support it, please contact Victoria A. Smalls, Director of History, Art & Culture at Penn Center 843-838-2432 or [email protected].

petslearn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

By Tracie KorolThe holiday season opens soon with

all the rich foods, relatives, decorations and happy chaos. As we settle into the hustle, let’s remember our Best friends appreciate happy, safe holidays, too. When planning for the holiday season, consider the following:

Train, don’t complain: our dogs don’t come pre-programmed; they rely on us to teach them acceptable behavior. Jumping up, stealing food, counter cruising, idiot barking and digging are all perfectly normal behaviors ... to our dogs. Unfortunately, they are also behaviors that irritate owners. When holiday houseguests arrive, when there’s an excited energy in the air and when the household is completely off schedule it becomes the perfect time for our dogs to engage in unwanted activities. Help remind your dog to remember what is expected of him by practicing and rewarding desired behaviors on a daily basis before the big day arrives. Even your old, well-trained been-around-forever dog will welcome the attention of a brush-up of basic skills.

The gift of management: In a perfect world our dogs would behave like those robot-dogs in the Hallmark specials. However, in the real world we need to affect our management skills to out-think or pre-think our beloved pets. Use your dog tools — baby gates, tethers and x-pens are extremely useful in keeping

Rooster out of the high-level distraction entertainment zones. Whenever possible, give your dog something to do rather than let him get creative and find something to do. Pre-gift your dog a stuffed Kong or a Buster Cube. Working a food puzzle or a chew is the dog equivalent of “sit and color”.

Cooking or catastrophe? on Thanksgiving Day + 1 where would you rather be — lounging on the couch with your dog, hitting the Black friday sales, or at the vet’s office praying that your dog makes it to T-day + 2? The best safety tip for Thanksgiving is: Keep Rooster out of kitchen! Not only will this prevent his unwanted interaction with highly desirable contraband, accidental injury from falling pots or knives but it also prevents you from tripping over him and finding yourself in the ER. Remember, dogs are not discriminating when it comes to yummy foods; they are happy to eat greasy turkey flavored baking string, napkins, toothpicks, shrink-wrap, pop up timers, roasting bags, skewers,

tin foil and styrofoam plates. Plus, your vet is happy to fish it out of your Best friend for a hefty fee. Push cooking gear to the rear of the counters and put up the trash cans before you sit down to dinner.

leave the leftovers: While it’s nice to think we’re going to maintain a good diet through the holidays, the solution is not peeling off the turkey skin and handing it to the nearest dog. Rich, fatty foods will cause stomach problems ranging from simple upsets all over the carpet to pancreatitis, a serious condition often requiring hospitalization. At your holiday table, provide tiny bowls of kibble or baby carrots for guests, who might feel guilty in their own personal gluttony, to slip to the dog lurking under the table.

Respect each other: Avoid forcing your dog on non-dog people and do not let your guests force themselves on your dog. Some folks become very uneasy upon getting “haired up”, and conversely, some dogs do not care to serve as eye-poking-fodder for the curious grandchild. Set clear ground rules for how your dog is to be treated and if necessary, be prepared to remove your Best friend if guests are unable or unwilling to follow them. Watch your dog for signs that he’s uncomfortable—yawning, lip licking, turning away or actively trying to get to anywhere else. Keep an eye out for “the freeze”, a clear dog sign that someone is about to be bitten. If you know your dog has a fear or aggression issue, do everyone a favor and park him, with his Kong, in his crate, away from the action.

And, finally, be grateful. Your Best friend provides companionship for your most mundane activities, cuddles when you’re blue, a warning bark for the noise in the night, a playmate and exercise partner and he doesn’t snicker when he sees you naked. That’s a really good friend.
