Held at the former O.C. Welch car dealership on Robert Smalls Parkway, the after church picnic featured barbecued chicken, games, face painting, jump castles, a car show and an emergency vehicle display. Ott also organized a popular “turkey shoot” played with darts.

� e purpose of To the Badges is to raise funds for local police, EMS and fi refi ghters and their families who are battling illnesses and/or struggling with other tragedies.

“We want to be able to buy an airline ticket or a tank of gas for someone in need looking for a way to pay for expenses associated with a lengthy illness or tragedy,” explains Ott.

� e event was staff ed with volunteers and families of EMS and law enforcement personnel as well as members from the Beaufort Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, Lowcountry Lodge 16.

Butler auto group and Manager Tim Stewart also played a large role in organizing the event.

Richard Swilpa, President of the Lowcountry Lodge 16 explained, “Our organization is very proud of the work that David (Ott) has done over many years. He is a tremendous guy. He puts out for the community in all respects.”

‘Beaufort 300’ campaign begins for city’s birthday

‘Beaufort 300’ is a unique opportunity to invest in Beaufort’s future by recognizing its past — the contributions will help pay for a permanent memorial monument to the city’s fi rst 300 hundred years.

Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling and others involved in the ‘Beaufort 300’ fundraiser kicked off the project Tuesday, Nov. 9, at City Hall. Kevin Cuppia, a longtime downtown

merchant and civic leader, handed Keyserling a ceremonial “fi rst check” for $300 to jumpstart the campaign.

� e goal is for 300 people to contribute $300 toward Beaufort’s 300th birthday.

Corporate sponsorships also are available at $500, $1,000 and greater. All funds will be used for the Tricentennial monument and festivities related to the yearlong celebration.

Mayor Keyserling said, “� e Beaufort 300 campaign will create a lasting monument to donors and an important addition to our historical markers downtown.”

� e Tricentennial monument will be an updated series of historical markers in the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park showcasing Beaufort’s three centuries. Investors’ names will be included on the monument for posterity.

� e fi rst contributors will be recognized Jan. 17 at a public birthday party for Beaufort at Waterfront Park. To kick off the yearlong Tricentennial celebration, Beaufort leaders will host a “Founders’ Night” Dec. 31 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Waterfront Park.

I hope this will be the first of many conversations we have about our schools and the happenings within the school district. Please keep in mind that these will be reflections or perspectives from a personal point of view and will not represent the official position of the school board or district administration.

First, let me thank all of you who went to the polls on November 2. The turnout was significant, almost 4,200 votes, and speaking for both Bob White and myself I think we are both overwhelmed with the support and interest evidenced in the recent campaign. Bob was a wonderful opponent, very capable, and I greatly appreciated the fact that we could stick to the issues important to our students, parents and school staff; this was facilitated by events such as the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association (LIBPA) Forum, the event co-sponsored by the Beaufort Chamber, Beaufort Gazette and again LIBPA and the Dataw Island Republican Club Forum that was also open to the school board candidates as a result of the non-partisan nature of the school board elections.

As we look forward to upcoming activities, there is an initial opportunity for the new board members to listen and learn at the Board Work Session on November 12-13. Several issues involving school utilization, test performance, attendance zones, financing, etc. will all be part of this event. I will continue to take a major interest in the same issues that we focused on during the campaign: first, securing fair and consistent funding from the state (I hope that as this becomes reality we can begin to replace some of the teaching positions lost over the last two years of forced budget cutbacks); second, prioritize instruction primarily through an expansion of the time administrators and curriculum specialists spend in classrooms observing teachers, supporting them and improving

instruction where it is needed; third, continue to press for the development of new instructional approaches that may include more online programs, magnet schools, charter programs and alternative schools that are staffed by professionals with deep experience in adolescent psychology and behavior modification; fourth, community outreach that improves the dialogue between home and school and increases parent/guardian involvement in school activities; fifth, continue the focus on early childhood education, expand it where possible, and continue to support the district’s under-performing schools with additional resources; last (for now), establish the policies and practices necessary to attract the best professional and support staff possible to serve our children, this means looking at salaries (for teachers, administrators and classified staff ) and maintaining a practice of national searches for the high quality personnel we need to staff our schools.

Again I want to thank you all for the privilege of representing you. The website started during the campaign is still open to contact me: [email protected].

With public comment closing later this month on the Department of the Navy’s fi nal decision on the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter coming to Marine Corps Air Station-Beaufort, supporters off er an easy way to register comments at two local restaurants on Veteran’s Day.

� e Beaufort County Military Enhancement Committee, working with the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, will have Internet access laptop computers available from 4-7 p.m. � ursday, Nov. 11, at two locations.

Participating restaurants are � e Offi ce, 2121 Boundary St. in Beaufort Town Center, and the Old Coff ee Haus, 614 Paris Ave. in Port Royal.

� e Department of the Navy’s preferred alternative stated in the Environmental Impact Statement is to base three operational F-35B squadrons at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort with two F-35B training squadrons and simulation centers.

Bringing fi ve squadrons of F-35B Joint Strike Fighters to Beaufort County will add more than $300 million in new base construction, more than 1,200 construction jobs, and could bring 200 high-paying civilian jobs to help with the training centers, said Carlotta Ungaro, president of the Beaufort Regional

Chamber of Commerce.As part of the promotion, both

restaurants will be off ering discounts to patrons who participate in the online rally. � e timing is designed to celebrate Veterans Day, the Marine Corps’ 235th birthday, and the highly anticipated announcement next month about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter assignment.

“Posting comments online is the easiest and most effi cient way for people to share their thoughts and support for this critical component of Beaufort County’s economy and culture,” said retired Marine Lt. Gen. Garry Parks, chairman of the Beaufort County Military Enhancement Committee.

“People certainly can comment online from their homes or businesses, or write a letter for the U.S. Mail, but there’s also a sense of community in joining others who feel these new jets are such an important part of our future,” Parks said. “� at’s what this one-day rally is about.”

� e Defense Department EIS and comment sections are available until Nov. 22 at http://www.usmcjsfeast.com/Comments.aspx. Background information about the new stealth strike fi ghters and their impact on Beaufort can be found at www.f35beaufort.com.

� e Navy’s preferred scenario divides

the East Coast F-35B squadrons between Beaufort and Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, N.C. � e “B” model is capable of short takeoff s and vertical landings. Military offi cials estimate that 80 percent of local take-off s will be traditional rolling takeoff s. Local leaders also are promoting the idea of an auxiliary landing fi eld away from Beaufort where most practice landings could take place.

Congress and Defense Department leaders continue to talk about scaling back the purchase plan for the Joint Strike Fighter. Given that likelihood, the Navy’s preferred basing solution — Alternate 1 — brings great advantages for Beaufort County, said Parks.

In that scenario, Beaufort would receive the fi rst batch of Joint Strike Fighters, probably within 48 months, with new Air Station construction contracts going out in a few months.

If the Navy were to instead go with

what’s called Alternative 3, sending eight operational squadrons to Beaufort but no training centers, those squadrons likely would arrive no sooner than 2020.

� at delay, Parks said, could be devastating should military budgets be cut, F-35B purchases be curtailed, or the Beaufort Air Station be considered unnecessary.

On June 22, an estimated 750 area residents shared their support and their questions about the Joint Strike Fighter at the Beaufort Holiday Inn.

In addition to the Beaufort Air Station’s exceptional training areas off shore and the Townsend Bombing Range in Georgia, the region has a highly qualifi ed workforce made up of former military personnel, said Kim Statler, executive director of the Lowcountry Economic Network & Alliance. With the Boeing project in Charleston and Gulfstream in Savannah, the Lowcountry is well positioned for aeronautics business, she said.

� e arrival of the F35-B Joint Strike Fighter will help with attracting new industry to our region while bolstering existing businesses that focus on technology, aeronautics and defense, Statler said. � e jets are expected to arrive in 2014, replacing the F/A-18 Hornets.

Cooler weather ushers in thoughts of � anksgiving and Christmas, but to hundreds of Lowcountry families, the chillier temperatures bring discomfort and danger. Your donation of a coat, jacket or heavy sweater can be an investment in helping fellow Beaufort County residents make it through another winter.

For the past 19 years, FWDG Coat Drive founders Robyn and Larry Mark have helped collect and distribute more than 33,000 coats to Lowcountry families in need. Last year, despite the recession and a colder-than-normal winter, locals contributed 3,166 gently-used coats.

� is year, the goal is 3.483 coats, jackets and thick sweaters, with drop-off locations across the county, including several public schools and BB&T bank offi ces.

“Our community continues to grow, and there are still a lot of families in need,” said Larry Mark, president of Furniture Warehouse Design Gallery, also known as FWDG. “Recycling jackets, coats and sweaters is good for our environment, but more importantly, it’s good for our community. � e economy has put hundreds more families in a position where a used coat or jacket can make a big diff erence in them being comfortable

this winter.”� e coat drive runs through Dec. 31.

For the second year, Williams Group/ PR is leading the public relations behind the drive. “It’s a privilege to be a part of such an important event that helps so many,” said John Williams, owner of the Lady’s Island agency.

� e Marks like the timing of the coat drive, right before the Lowcountry’s cold weather usually hits.

“� is is the season of � anksgiving and the season of giving,” Larry Mark said. “It is our hope that less fortunate families can be thankful for warm coats, and others can ‘pay it forward’ by giving their outerwear to our coat drive.”

While the annual coat drive was founded by FWDG 20 years ago, it has grown to include many local organizations. “� is truly is a community event,” Larry Mark said. “From the area businesses, schools, churches and civic clubs that are collecting coats on behalf of FWDG to the distribution outlets that ensure these coats and jackets go to those in need, it’s the very special people of the Lowcountry who make this a success,” he said.

Distribution of coats and jackets is handled by Bluff ton Self Help, the Deep Well Project and HELP of Beaufort, organizations already in the business of

helping families.� e coat drive was started 20 years

ago by Larry and Robyn Mark, longtime Lowcountry residents and business owners. Located at 745 Robert Smalls Parkway in Beaufort, one mile east of the Broad River Bridge, FWDG at Perimeter Walk is the only one-stop-shop for home furniture and fi xtures in Beaufort. FWDG features displays for top-quality furniture makers including Norwalk, Rowe, and Kincaid.

FWDG and its owners have received numerous awards recognizing the business and their involvement in the community. Awards include: Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year, Small Business Person of the Year, Beaufort Gazette’s Reader’s Choice Award for best Furniture Store for 11 straight years, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award for Business.

For additional information about FWDG or the coat drive, please call Larry Mark at 843-524-8695.

Business, civic clubs, churches and other organizations often hold one- or two-day coat drive blitzes within their organization. � ey can designate a central coat collection point at their business or organization. Interested? Call Larry Mark at 843-524-8695.

Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort kicks off their annual Pecan Sales this week. For almost 10 years the group has been selling bags of fresh shelled mammoth pecan halves. � ese pecans are so fresh that their delivery date is based on the date they are picked. � is year our pecans were picked the fi rst week of November and will arrive at our offi ce early this week. Even though the wholesale cost has gone up since last year’s crop we will still sell our bags of pecans at the great price of only $10 a bag. Pecans will be available for purchase this year at Hometown Realty on Lady’s Island (522-0066), at both the Lady’s Island and Port Royal locations of Low Country National Bank and at our offi ce in the United Way building on Boundary Street in Beaufort. To reserve yours or for more information, please call 521-9190 or visit our website at www.afsgb.org

As a nonprofi t agency, Family Services of Greater Beaufort relies heavily on donations and annual fundraisers to help off -set the cost of services which are well below industry standards for the services they provide.

For more than 20 years, Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort has provided support, education and much needed respite for caregivers of persons with the Alzheimer’s disease in our community.

AFSGB off ers a Social Day Program which meets on Monday, Wednesday, � ursday and Friday mornings as well as

an in-home respite service. Our caregiver support groups provide a setting where caregivers can meet other caregivers and share their experiences as well as gain valuable insight from others facing the same frustrations and situations, and once a month we invite all former and current caregivers to lunch as our guest. At these luncheons we feature a speaker who provides information relevant to being a caregiver.

Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Spirit of Women program is now using these popular online communities to off er health tips and other valuable information which can help women take charge of their health and their family’s health.

“More and more hospitals are realizing the value of sharing important health facts directly with women through these extremely popular online communities,” said Beaufort Memorial spokesman

Courtney McDermott. “More than 500 million people worldwide are now communicating through Facebook. n addition, over the last three months, Twitter has experienced a surge of an additional 30 million user sign-ups. � rough our social media outreach, we’re hoping to go beyond simply sharing information. Our ultimate goal is to build ongoing relationships with the women we serve.”

Over the coming weeks, women

can learn more about dealing with menopause, treatments for leg vein problems, advice for those newly diagnosed with breast cancer, and how new technology can help doctors perform hysterectomies with less pain and a faster recovery.

“Much of the information will come directly from physicians on the medical staff at Beaufort Memorial Hospital,” said McDermott. “� is will allow followers or fans, as they are known in

the social media universe, to get to know our physicians and their expertise. We also encourage women to ask questions or post their personal comments on our sites.”

On Oct. 28 at the Golden Corral in Beaufort, in front of family, friends, and coworkers, Burton Fire District Firefi ghters Johnny Wynn and Chris Alewine were named Beaufort Exchange Club Firefi ghters of the year for 2010.

� e Beaufort Exchange Club’s Firefi ghter of the Year is an annual award that seeks to enhance the public’s level of respect, admiration and appreciation for the sacrifi ces which fi refi ghters make. Both fi refi ghters Wynn and Alewine were selected for this award for not only their daily contributions to the citizens of Burton, but also their professional and skillful actions as fi rst responders during an emotional emergency scene that saved the life of a small child.

On July 18, just before 4:30 p.m, the Burton Fire District was summoned to an emergency situation most fi refi ghters hope to never experience during their career — a child was dying. Burton Engine Company 824, crewed by Firefi ghters Johnny Wynn and Chris Alewine, responded promptly to the scene arriving in just two minutes. � ey found a 2-year-old boy who had been removed from a pool and was unconscious and near lifeless. After assessing the child’s condition, they confi rmed the infant was not breathing.

Knowing irreversible brain death is imminent within four to six minutes of oxygen deprivation, and thus any chance of a full recovery for this young child, and that by the time they arrived at the child’s side that time was near expired, Firefi ghters Wynn and Alewine prepared to apply their lifesaving skills under the most challenging of circumstances.

While putting the naturally strong, and sometimes crippling, emotions of dealing with a severely injured child and that of their parents aside to focus on the task at hand, Wynn and Alewine worked to open and control the child’s airway by providing rescuing breathing to give the boy’s starving brain the oxygen it needed to sustain life. Within minutes, the young child began to show signs of life. However, this continued to challenge Wynn and Alewine as they struggled to keep that airway open and clear as the child’s natural instinct to breathe began to come alive and expel the excess water that had entered his lungs.

Within 30 minutes of the incident occurring, the child who was within minutes of death was now on the road to recovery. Just days later, he was able

to visit Engine Company 824 and his guardian angels, Firefi ghters Johnny Wynn and Chris Alewine. � is was surely a highlight in Beaufort County’s tragic season of drowning.

When 16-year veteran Firefi ghter Johnny Wynn is not responding to emergencies, he is in charge of special projects for the department and uses his carpentry skills to make repairs and improvements to any one of the Burton Fire District’s fi ve fi re stations; thereby not only improving quality of life for the fi refi ghters, but saving thousands in tax payer dollars by taking care of expensive repairs himself. Most notably, when the daughter of a Burton Fire District member was severely injured in an automobile wreck leaving her paralyzed from the neck down and confi ned to a

wheel chair, Firefi ghter Wynn led the upgrades to her home to make it more accessible and comfortable for her and her family.

Firefi ghter Chris Alewine has taken his interest in public safety to a higher level by taking intense, specialized rescue classes on his own and voluntarily joining South Carolina’s Urban Search & Rescue Team. By being a member of this team, Alewine stands ready to deploy to any disaster — anywhere — at any time and place himself in highly unstable and dangerous/rudimentary environments to rescue those in need, regardless if the disaster occurs in South Carolina or another state or country.

“We were impressed by the level of commitment and professional focus that these two fi refi ghters showed in an extremely stressful situation. � ey saved the life of a small child — what greater achievement is there?” Exchange Club of Beaufort President Leigh Copeland said. “In addition, it was clear that both of these men are truly devoted to their jobs. � is award is just a small way to show how grateful we are for their commitment at keeping our communities safe.”

� e Beaufort Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma � eta Sorority, Inc hosted the Annual Fall State Meeting at the Marriott Hotel on Hilton Head Island on October 28 and 29. More than 600 Deltas from throughout South Carolina participated in this meeting, which included workshops, a luncheon and the presentation of a public service project. Pictured here are Delta Sigma � eta Alumni from Beaufort.

When Beaufort Academy students came to school on Wednesday, they were greeted with a surprise visitor. Actress Monique Coleman from “High School Musical” and “Dancing with the Stars” came to BA to talk with the middle school students about bullying. For approximately an hour, Monique shared her experiences growing up, her professional experience in the entertainment world, her commitment to the youth of the world as a special envoy for the United Nations and its Year of Youth and her new career focus with Gimme Mo’. She also answered questions from the students, posed for photos and talked with them individually after the presentation.

Gimme Mo’ is an online talk show that launched in September. Monique Coleman is the creator, executive producer and host of the show. Her intention is to start a Mo’vement that empowers today’s youth. She will be facilitating safe conversation about real issues, bringing awareness to organizations that are serving teens and conducting celebrity interviews.

Monique shared with the Beaufort

Academy students her thoughts on bullying, how it aff ected her and what students can do today. Her powerful message inspired and challenged students and teachers in attendance

and included this advice: “Turn your mistakes into positives. Stop the internal bullying — do not allow yourself to accept negatives: things that in your head you may say about you — ‘that

was stupid.’ You have the resources. � e only person who stands in your way is you. Believe in yourself. Everything is an opportunity. Look at what you enjoy doing, not just the end result.”

Elizabeth and Earl McMillan hosted their fi rst party of the winter season this past weekend on their yacht, which recently arrived here

from Newport, its summer home. First launched on July 4, 1926, the 104-foot-long

mahogany-and-fi r beauty was christened “Freedom” to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.

It spent most of the glamorous 1930s based out of Palm Beach, owned by the daughter of F.W. Woolworth, the wealthiest woman in the country at the time. It was the sister ship of the presidential yacht “Sequoia” (1925), both designed by the famous John Trumpy.

Earl’s company sells fractional shares in the many vintage yachts he has restored, so others can share in the yachting experience. � e “Freedom” has a limited number of shares available for ownership in case you’ve

dreamed of enjoying a yacht of your own. If interested, the company has a Lady’s Island Marina offi ce and their

website can be found at woodenyachts.com. McMillen Yachts, Inc. can be reached at 843-524-8924.

‘Shindig at The Shack’ a successKudos to Jered and Deanna Kraszewski and the hardworking committee who pulled off such a great new charitable event at Coosaw Point

this past weekend. Katie Huebel did the beautiful decorations and Saltus provided the food. The event was created by Jered, owner of Get Fit on Lady’s Island as a way to raise money to improve and purchase new gym equipment for the Boys & Girls Club on Boundary Street in downtown Beaufort. Local weight loss expert Dr. Clark Trask gave an eloquent speech about the importance of preventing obesity in children before it leads to life long health problems for them. Special thanks to all the people who bought tickets to this sold-out event. The children of Beaufort will directly benefit from your kind-hearted gift. For more information about donations or or how to get involved, contact the non-profit ‘FIT FUND’ at 843-524-2FIT. Here are some pics from the fun party under the stars.

Jered and Deanna Kraszewski at the ‘Shindig at The Shack’ fundraiser at Coosaw Point.

We’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. For months, Beaufortonians have recommended Keith’s Place for lunch; and finally, it worked out that we could all go.

Keith’s Place, owned and operated by Keith Potts, is a local favorite. The food is absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of food you dream of after a big night out. Just about everything on the menu is worth ordering; it’s all got the perfect amount of grease to satisfy the hungriest appetite, and Keith makes sure he gives you large portions.

And the variety of sandwiches is incredible. You can choose from a huge list of toppings, meats, cheeses and breads if you aren’t in the mood for a hot meal.

I really don’t know why we asked for a sampler platter of onion rings, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers and fried ravioli. We knew we were about to get stuffed with our entrees; but we ordered it anyway. Oh man, you can never go wrong with a plate

of flour-battered fried food. We polished it off pretty quickly.

The cheeseburger came highly recommended. So I ordered it all the way with a side of fries. I have to say, it might be the best in Beaufort!

Pamela, our new copy editor, opted for the chicken wrap while Elizabeth got the Italian sub. Heather asked for eight medium wings with ranch on the side. All the girls were very pleased and definitely needed boxes for leftovers.

April, still counting Weight Watchers points, ordered the roast beef and turkey on wheat. To date, April has lost 9 pounds. We are so proud of her. It took strong will power to opt for a healthy choice at Keith’s!

Lastly Barry, our new ad rep, got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. Barry never needs a to-go box. The boy can eat! And he devoured this meal.

By the time this article comes out, Keith’s Place will likely be closed or almost closed for renovations. It will reopen in six to eight weeks as Keith’s Steak and Seafood. Keith has beautiful plans to expand the restaurant and revamp the popular Ribaut Road spot as a family-style eatery.

The food will stay the same, but the pool tables will disappear. Gone will be the days of the smoke-filled bar and grill. Keith hopes to make the restaurant more inviting to a more diverse crowd to include children. That’s good news for me, Abbie (7) and Julia (6)!

So why write an article about a restaurant about to temporarily

close? Well, we wanted to give you a heads-up about Keith’s plans and excite you about the February reopening. Also, we want to remind you that Keith will continue to cater during the holidays. Give him a call at 521-9345 to arrange a catered event.

Keith didn’t give a definite date of closure, but said it would be soon. So, it’s also worth a call

this week to check to see if they are open. You better get in there quick for a last meal of 2010. Keith would love a mad rush before the chaos of renovations.

Thanks Keith and Linda, our super-sweet server who pampered us with refills and Southern charm. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and look forward to coming back in February. Your food rocked!

Yep, it’s here again. � at great American holiday when we all eat too much, make a huge mess of the kitchen and multiple other spots in the house, see family and friends and consider ourselves lucky if it all goes well, and, of course, try to pick out the perfect wine to go with all of it. Little do we know that we’ve probably had bottles all year long that will do just fi ne. And, if that’s the case, maybe we can not stress over fi nding the perfect bottle and re-enjoy ones we know we already like. (Like my new made-up word “re-enjoy?”) So, with that in mind, let’s just re-look at some we’ve tried and enjoyed over the last year.

To start, we have to accept that � anksgiving dinners are not designed to go well with any one wine. First because they are not all the same foods, but also because we all like diff erent wines and diff erent parts of the total food assortment. � is makes it hard, and easy too. Hard is fi nding one wine to cover everything and everyone. Easy is letting go of the idea that you need just one wine. With that theory in place, we can do a red and a white, two diff erent reds, a bubbly if you have bubble drinkers or, and I like this option, a whole array of diff erent bottles and let everyone choose the one (or ones) they want. See, easy!

Now all we have to do is like them all.Looking back over the past months,

and in no particular order, the one bubbly we’ve liked was the new Clairette de Die. � is was the one from southeastern France that was full and soft and palate pleasing to so many. A good one to go on our list for � anksgiving.

For white wines, there have been some standouts — a really good selection of diff erent wines and varied prices. Recently, we recommended the Franciscan Cuvee Sauvage Chardonnay. It’s higher priced, but a very special wine if your table is set for two. Or, if you owe the kitchen workers a nice surprise while they cook. (Take care of the cook and the cook takes care of you!) � e Decoy Chardonnay from Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa is also a good one. It’s brand new in our area and perfect for celebrating. Going back a

longer way into the past year, remember Grooner Gruner Veltliner — the white wine from Austria. Not as well known but a really nice treat and great with so many of the fl avors on your plate.

In the red department, Pinot Noirs are usually good choices. Remember the German Undone Pinot Noir? Light, mild, can be served chilled. And going way back to last year, don’t forget the Chandon Pinot Meunier that we all love. It’s the one that was described as “better than sex.” No credit for that quote but the deal price is still on. Red Zinfandels are also popular choices. An American wine for an American holiday, the Duckhorn Decoy Zin is phenomenal. � e third red that is always a crowd pleaser is the Nouveau Beaujolais that comes from France the weekend before � anksgiving. Really young and grapey, this is the fi rst wine of this year’s harvest and fi ts the celebration mood.

For those of you having something other than turkey, numerous other wines do well. For heavier meats and game, heavier reds do well. Syrahs like the Christopher Michael, cabernets, and, my favorite category — red blends

all can work. � e Bogle Phantom red blend that we all liked for Halloween is a good choice, and won’t be in stock much longer either. Other red blends like the MontGras Cuatro from Chile that I like so much is another good choice. You know how much I like most blends so you can be safe in thinking we’ll have plenty to recommend. For ham dinners, which is really a pink meat, a pink wine always works well. Go back to last May when we found the Santi Rose of Bardolino from Italy. Yum, yum! Finally, don’t forget the two Italian wines from just last week — the dogs. Flavors, textures, weights all perfect. If they weren’t such great wines, I couldn’t tell you how great the two bottles will look on your table. (Don’t ever tell anyone I said this, but the labels of these two bottles will look so “fall holiday” on your table; they’re just beautiful!)

It’s nice looking back at what we’ve enjoyed all year, wine-wise at least. Truly, we’ve had some really nice wines. It’s not a bad idea to re-enjoy some of them as the year ends. I’m sure next year will bring many more new good ones. But sometimes older is better. Happy holidays! Enjoy and re-enjoy!

22nd Annual Festival of Trees in full swingAUCTION PARTIES

Implemented in 2005, Auction Parties have become a hallmark of the Festival of Trees. Held throughout the year, these parties raise additional funds for the event. Volunteers host auction parties in their homes, inviting guests who each bring an auction item with them. � e items are auctioned off throughout the evening, and all funds raised go to the Festival of Trees.

� e parties are wildly varied but one thing is for certain — they are all a lot of fun. � is past summer, Vicki and Jon Verity hosted a quote-themed auction party. Guests were invited to select a quote and bring an auction item refl ecting that quote. One couple donated a nice bottle of wine matched with Ben Franklin’s quote, “Wine is proof that God loves us and loves us to be happy.” Another couple used the quote by Joseph Conrad, “� is was the East of the ancient navigators, so old, so mysterious, resplendent and sombre, living and unchanged, full of danger and promise”, to donate a cocktail buff et amidst Asian artwork at their Dataw home. And yet, another was inspired by the quote, “Teach a man to fi sh ...” to donate a one-hour fl y-casting lesson. Most importantly, signifi cant funds were raised for Friends of Caroline Hospice and, as Vicki Verity says, “Jon and I had a blast!”

Other auction parties are simple, casual aff airs. For years, Sally Mitchell has hosted a Foodie Party, in which guests bring food that can be frozen and used later. As she recaps the events, Sally laughs, saying, “You wouldn’t believe what some folks will pay for a casserole, particularly when there’s bidding involved and when Friends of Caroline Hospice is involved. Indeed, throughout the years, the auction item donors

and bidders have been extremely generous when remembering that all proceeds benefi t Friends of Caroline Hospice.

Auction Party chairmen, Verna Scott and Susan Markham, aim to make the auction party process easy for both hosts and guests. � ey will help plan and staff the event. If you are interested in hosting or attending an auction party, please contact Verna Scott at 592-2425 or Susan Markham at 441-1269.

PIZZA WITH SANTAOn Tuesday, November 9, Santa visited Pizza

Inn in Beaufort Town Center. � is was the perfect opportunity for children of all ages to visit with him to let him know if they have been naughty or nice. It was also a great opportunity to squeeze in photos with Santa in time for holiday cards.

Santa was visiting Pizza Inn as part of the Festival of Trees Doughraiser. Ten percent of the night’s sales, plus tips and donations, will be donated to the Festival of Trees. As volunteer chair Kathy Mitchell states, “ We thought a doughraiser would be a great way to get people excited about the festival, as well as off -set some of the production expenses.”

GRAYCO PROVIDES THE TREESGrayco will once again be a major sponsor of the

Festival of Trees by serving as this year’s tree provider. Grayco works diligently with the festival to provide beautiful live trees at reduced prices. Grayco, a leading building supply, hardware and rental equipment provider to professional contractors and local residents for more than 40 years, as been a faithful supporter of

the festival.

RADIO STATION SHOWCASES EVENT� e Festival of Trees is grateful for its new media

partnership with 104.9 � e Surf, a locally owned and operated radio station featuring live and local news, weather and information. 104.9 � e Surf plays only the greatest hits of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. Festival organizers are very excited to be working with 104.9 � e Surf on promotion for the Festival of Trees and look forward to their participation in the 2010 festivities.

Trees are still available for sponsorship. For a minimal $225 sponsorship fees, Tree Sponsors not only support Friends of Caroline Hospice, they receive exposure to the over 3,500 Festival of Trees attendees. For more information, please contact Vicki Verity at 263-4108 or Vivi Nellen at 522-9386. Information is also available on the Festival of Trees Facebook page.

� e Festival of Trees, benefi tting Friends of Caroline Hospice, will be held December 6-11 at the Charles L. Brown Neighborhood Activity Center (formerly the Greene Street Gym). As Beaufort’s premier holiday event, the festival includes a showcase of beautifully decorated trees, a grand opening reception with silent auction, a gourmet and gift shop and daily lunches.

During these remarkable fi ve days, the gym is transformed into a holiday wonderland, where simply stepping through the doors puts you in the holiday spirit.

In the past 21 years, Festival of Trees has raised more than $770,000 for Friends of Caroline Hospice.

riverview’s building requirements

Riverview Charter School opened its doors at its temporary location on Burroughs Avenue on August 17, 2009,

just one month after getting final approval from the Beaufort County School Board.

Now, a little over one year later, students, faculty and parent volunteers are very rapidly bursting out of every crevice at the temporary location, which used to house the Humanities School and Beaufort Elementary School.

Now, Riverview Charter School’s Board of Directors is set on a path to finding a permanent solution with a purpose of defining those elements central to the vision of the school’s charter.

Mallory Baches, Facilities Chair on the Riverview Board, is determined to start the design process in a public format to best meet the goals and objectives of Riverview’s philosophy as well as the school’s programming and curriculum needs. And there are many stakeholders in the growth plan.

Baches and other board members think it’s important to have a public workshop to get feedback from parents, faculty, charter committee members, governmental jurisdictions, landowners and the public at large. The entire team can balance all of the key elements necessary to collectively deliver a permanent facility based on the philosophy of Riverview Charter School.

It is the purpose of the board to share dialogue and conversation regarding growth with the public. Baches especially emphasizes the conscious effort made by the board for the larger good of the school’s population.

“It’s satisfying to know that this group will implement the best fit for the community. The board would not be able to succeed if they were motivated by personal effort. The board is thinking about the legacy of Riverview, not just for today. And it’s all based on environmental stewardship. From a facilities standpoint, and in keeping with our philosophy, we want this new building to last for 100 years or longer,” she said.

The students are used to hearing the words, “stewardship” and “cooperation” on a day-to-day basis. In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear them say these words to each other in everyday context.

“We have core values that the staff reinforces everyday,” explains Baches. “That’s why we want to create a permanent facility that will reflect a day in the life of a student or teacher at Riverview. We want to use the space as efficiently as possible and allow for more hands-on, tangible space and more flexible opportunities to reflect what the kids are learning, both outdoors and indoors.”

The public is invited to a weekend workshop from December 6-8 at Beaufort City Hall. Go to yourislandnews.com for more information.

Mallory Baches co-founded and is a partner of DPZ Pacific, a planning and design firm that provides services for a wide variety of projects in Asia. Baches has been a member of the Congress for New Urbanism since 1999. An architect and urban designer by training, Baches is responsible for project design/architecture and code development using the innovative planning techniques of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company. Prior to co-founding DPZ Pacific, Baches was one of four project managers at Duany Plater-Zyberk in Miami, Fla., and the youngest ever promoted to the position. In her five years with the firm, she managed a variety of projects ranging from community revitalization to resort development throughout North America. Her design skills in both urban form and building architecture were first developed at the University of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture five-year program, the only fully accredited Classical School of Architecture and Urban Design in the United States. Baches and her husband, Demitri, came to Beaufort by chance. As many Beaufortonians have done, the couple decided to stay. Their jobs allow them to live anywhere in the world; and fortunately for Riverview Charter School, they found a home in Habersham. They have one daughter, Iris.

Riverview Charter School will provide a permanent facility that serves those who use it by being sustainable, safe, efficient, economical, “green,” accessible, flexible and appropriate. Riverview will meet these objectives in identifiable and measurable ways. The site will be selected for its location within an area of population, where the community and the school can collaborate in a supportive way. The campus will be designed to create a secure environment, where visitors as well as children and staff are accounted for as they arrive and depart. The facilities will adhere to a carefully studied budget that maximizes benefits and minimizes drawbacks of the choices it requires. The facilities will be designed to achieve a LEED certification level of energy and environmental achievement. The buildings will be in keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The floor plans will be considered so as to allow for ultimate flexibility of programmatic use, and the facades will be created to be in keeping with the vernacular of the area.

Question: I read a lot about the health benefits

of eating organic but I just can’t always afford to do that and the food goes bad very quickly. What is really important when it comes to eating organically?

Answer: This is a great question. People are becoming more and more health conscious (which is great!) but still need to figure out a way to do it without breaking the bank.

Let’s start by defining exactly what organic means.

Back in the day the organic motto was “know your farmer, know your food.” That’s not the case anymore. Even big companies like Dole and Heinz are maximizing the adjective “organic.” The word organic has become quite the marketing tool.

So what are the guidelines in order to qualify as organic, according to the OFPA (organic food production act)?

You can count on foods labeled organic to meet the following guidelines:

• 100% organic — single ingredient such as a fruit, vegetable, meat, milk.

• organic — multiple ingredient foods which are 95-100% organic.

• Made with organic ingredients — 70% of the ingredients are organic.

• Contains organic ingredients — contains less than 70% organic ingredients.

In December 1997, the USDA published its first proposed standards for using the word organic in labeling of food products. To earn certification, producers follow very strict guidelines — among other things, they cannot use genetic engineering, fertilize with sewage sludge, or treat their animals with growth hormones or antibiotics. While organic foods cannot be treated with synthetic pesticides, they can be treated with an array of natural chemicals to kill pests. There is some debate about whether theses natural chemicals are any safer than the synthetic ones. Bottom line, your health is an investment and eating organic fruits, vegetables, and meats definitely trumps its non-organic competitor, but you can still prioritize your shopping list.

For this, I recommend the information that comes from the Environmental Working Group’s Pesticides in Produce report. They feature a list of the “Dirty Dozen” (12 fruits/vegetables with the

most pesticide residues) and the “Clean Fifteen” (15 fruits and vegetables that contain the least amount of pesticide residues).

For the sake of the wallet, it’s best to prioritize based on the Dirty Dozen as you have less to worry about with the Clean Fifteen.

When shopping for organic foods it’s important to only buy what you plan to eat within a few days. Another great way to save is to join a local co-op and purchase only fruits and vegetables that are in season. Be sure to avoid the marketing trap by remembering that “natural” and “organic” are not the same. Local farmers markets are a great place to pick up your produce and avoid the middle man. However, not all produce from local farmers is organic so be sure to ask.

Beaufort High students inspired by ‘River of Words’

Beaufort High School students in the school of Arts, Communication, and Technology have been participating in a special project this fall. As part of an international initiative for watershed awareness, students have been learning about Beaufort’s creeks and rivers, what makes them environmentally unique, and the importance of taking care of them. Students in Heather Doray’s Biology class and Scott Gordon’s drawing classes took a multidisciplinary approach to this project by combining art and creative writing. The students will submit the work created to an international contest and a districtwide art show.

Mid-October brought some special guests to the new Performing Arts Center. Mr. H.H. “Bubba” Von Harten and his daughter, Laura Von Harten, came to speak to the students about the cultural history and development of Factory Creek. Specifically, they came to tell them stories about the seafood industry that used to be based there. They talked about the old oyster

factory, the shrimp docks, and the seafood market that used to flourish there. Many students had no idea that the shift from a working waterfront to a residential waterfront had even occurred. The students also participated in a discussion of the different environmental impacts from these changes. The Von Hartens brought along a great slide show to enhance their discussion.

Then on October 28, a small group of these students got to participate in a field trip to Factory Creek itself. The students were treated to guided activities from Captain Bo Von Harten and his wife and master naturalist Amber Von Harten. The students were split into small groups. They learned how to throw cast nets. They dropped in crab traps and later pulled them up. They studied invertebrate growth on the dock pilings. They caught shrimp. All of these activities were designed to show them the health of the marsh ecosystem and the importance of taking care of it. The activities were also designed to inspire them to create art. The afternoon ended with various on-site drawing

sessions from the water. Subsequent trips are planned for the other groups. They will walk to Factory Creek, study water quality, and sketch on-site as well.

One of the final planned activities is an artist residency with Kim Keats. Ms. Keats will be conducting workshops with Scott Gordon’s painting classes.

She is an environmental artist who works with fibers and natural materials that she finds on the barrier islands.

The students will be painting watercolor papers in random, abstract fashions. Then they plan to cut the paper up and use it to weave vessels or baskets out of. An informal weekend field trip is planned

to collect natural materials from barrier islands. These materials will supplement the supply found on walking trips around Beaufort High and Factory Creek. They will weave these natural materials into the painted paper. This idea is inspired by native Maori weaving known as “Four Quarter Plates.” Finally the students will be writing Haikus based on their experiences.

All of these special experiences have been inspired by a nonprofit organization known as “River of Words.” This organization also sponsors the international contest. The watershed art and poetry submitted to River of Words is exhibited around the globe and is seen by millions of people each year, both in person, and reprinted in magazines, books, annual reports and other media. Every painting, every poem contributes to an informed appreciation of the natural world and the interconnectedness of all beings. This project has provided an ideal opportunity for students to connect with the environment in their own backyards.

� anksgiving is the day we are entreated to acknowledge what we have to be thankful for. I’ll be the fi rst to admit that dogs are at the top of my list: giving love unconditionally and unfailingly and asking for very little in return. So when T-day rolls around I am always adamant about including my dog friends in the festivities, right down to the dinner.

One of the biggest mistakes we make, especially during holidays, is to “treat” our dogs to foods they aren’t used to eating — foods smothered in rich gravies, sugars, salt, etc. It may seem fun going in, but such a heavy diet, even for just one night, can wreak havoc coming out, if you know what I mean. If you want your dog to able to enjoy a true � anksgiving meal,

yet still keep it healthy, read through the suggestions listed below that have worked for me.

• Don’t feed the dog turkey skin. If we’re not supposed to eat it, neither is your dog. As tempting as it is, the skin is not only high in fat and hard to digest, but also holds any marinade, butter and oils, or spices used in baking, which can cause stomach upset for everyone. Instead, off er your

Best Friend bits of the white meat that is usually fairly dry and less appealing sans gravy.

• As you prepare side dishes, set aside some of the good stuff for Dog before adding all of the cream, salt, butter, wine, etc. A scoop of plain mashed sweet potatoes, a cup of cooked carrots, broccoli or green beans, even a small gob of dressing before butter and gravy will be a treasure for your dog.

• A good substitute for gravy for your dog is a little turkey broth. If you cook the giblets in water for stock, before you turn it into gravy, save a little to moisten his kibble or the dry white meat.

• It doesn’t make sense to off er Dog a big plate full of turkey, veggies and potatoes all at once if he normally eats only dry kibble. Keep in mind that if your pet is one that routinely gets a fatty table scrap here, a potato chip there, his gut is primed for the possibility of a pancreatitis attack should he gobble his way through a pile of fat and calories. It’s not okay to indulge him even if it’s “just this once” or “just for the holiday.” � ings can turn bad in a heartbeat and with the chaos of the holidays you may not be as alert to the fi rst symptoms, or may pass them off as just nerves, stress or having a little too many “treats”. Pancreatitis is scary, really messy and the trip to the vet on � anksgiving Day is going to be expensive, guaranteed. Dog will be happy with a few small bits of lean turkey and a few veggies topping his regular kibble.

• If your dog lurks under the

table during dinner, denying him those irresistible fl avors and sweet temptations may seem impossible, especially if your guests mean well, but can’t say no to his pathetic “I haven’t eaten since Easter” face. One way to help the off -limit foods stay that way is to place a few “treat cups” around the table as part of the décor. Fill these with small pieces of plain sliced turkey, cooked veggies and pieces of bread - anything sensible. Guests will still get a kick out of sneak-feeding the dog, but it will be much healthier than what is on most people’s plates. And once the bowls are empty, that’s it!

Oh, and for dessert? Instead of apple pie a la mode, how about some sliced apples with a scoop of mashed potatoes (pre-butter and cream), and maybe some applesauce on top? Pumpkin is also very good for Dog’s diet, but make sure it’s not pie fi lling.

� anksgiving should be fun and fulfi lling — a special treat on a special day. By carefully preparing your dog’s meal, the holiday can be enjoyable for every member of the family.
