South Carolinians possess a fierceindependent streak. For better or forworse, we’ve even been known to bedownright rebellious, from time to time.

We certainly admire the Old World’s greatwineries – and like them – but we alsounderstand the secret to making great wineslies in staying true to our “down home” valuesin making wine from superior local fruit. Localwineries are crafting uniquely American winesthat are as rich and diverse as America itself.

In South Carolina,leading therevolution, is thatAll-Americangrape: TheMuscadine.

Similar to thepalmetto tree andlive oaks adornedin necklaces ofSpanish moss, theMuscadine grapethrives in thesteamy Southernclimate. Their thickskin drinks up thehot, Southern sun

and produces a grape so sinfully sweet itverges on decadence.

Like many things in the South, Muscadine winewas a homegrown family affair until about ageneration ago.

Subsequently, most people’s memories ofMuscadine wine are only as good as thehome winemaker. Some fondly remember anoff-dry genteel wine with subtle notes of honeyand papaya, while others still awake fromnightmares with the taste of a cloying potiontasting more like medicine than wine.

Red, white, pink, sweet or dry, Muscadine winestill covers the entire spectrum of flavors andcolors depending on the winery and winemaker.With such versatility and diversity, it’s easy tosee why local winemakers are enthralled withthis local hero.

While the evidence suggests Native Americansappreciated the fruits of the Muscadine vine

for thousands of years, people have beenenjoying Muscadine wine on Hilton Head for500 years. The Spanish explorers who firstvisited the Island in 1521 likely vinted theirMuscadine wine in St. Augustine.

Muscadine wine has literally been a staple inIsland cuisine from the beginning. Fast-forward400 years and Muscadine wine is taking thesting out of Prohibition in the 1920s. That oldSouth Carolinian virtue of perpetualrebelliousness, combined with a small legionof enterprising wine makers, moonshiners andrumrunners, ensured Americans kept ondancing the Charleston.

Centuries before any commercial wineriesopened on Hilton Head Island, the localGullah community made both Muscadinewine and Muscadine sherry. The Gullahs,descendants of former West African slaveswho resided on the sea isles of Carolina andGeorgia, naturally integrated Muscadine wineinto their rich and savory cuisine. Muscadine isrobust enough to be the perfect companion toa hearty shrimp gumbo, yet smooth enough toput the “tipsy” in traditional Gullah tipsypudding.

Hilton Head’s own Island Winery offers asweet white Muscadine wine inspired by theclassic Gullah-style wine and is perfectly suitedfor pairing with Hilton Head’s local seafood.

Modern science has long ago confirmed whatmost Southerners already knew aboutMuscadine: It’s in a class by itself. Geneticallyspeaking, Muscadine is related to Chardonnayor Concord grapes the way a Siberian tiger isrelated to your house cat.

This tiger of a grape is producing wines thatare winning international competitions,proving that you can literally bottle “Southerncharm.” So this summer, put down that Merlotand explore the endless possibilitiesMuscadine has to offer.

For a great selection of award-winningwines, ranging from Old World vinted drywines to Low Country Specialty wines,made on Hilton Head Island stop byIsland Winery at 12A Cardinal Road. (843) 842-3141 or islandwinery.com.

Dining with Kids

Adults want a delicious, relaxing meal andkids just want to have fun. With hundredsof restaurants catering to every taste andbudget, nearly all of the Island’s eateriesoffer children’s menus, as well as someform of family-friendly entertainment. Makevacation mealtimes memorable for the foodand ambiance – rather than monumentalmeltdowns – with some helpful tips fordining with kids.

Plan AheadA little planning goes a long way, if you haveyour heart set on dining at a specific restaurant.Decide where you want to eat long before it’stime to leave and call ahead to see if reserva-tions are accepted. To avoid crowds and longlines, check to see if any special events are tak-ing place in the area that evening. Remember,many restaurants offer similar lunch and dinnermenus, so you can always enjoy a mouthwa-tering midday meal at a great price.

Arrive EarlyAfter spending hours on the beach, in the wateror biking around the Island, it’s time for din-ner. If you head out early – before everyoneis REALLY tired and cranky – you’ll find EarlyBird specials, Happy Hour deals and, often,live music or other family fun. Don’t worry,you can always move on to your next stopafter having a bite to eat and a refreshingbeverage.

Sit OutsideEscape the frigid air-conditioning and whitetable cloths inside and settle down at an out-side table for a relaxed evening of peoplewatching, catching up with friends and familyand, often, live entertainment. Many Islandeateries offer the opportunity to dine al frescooverlooking spectacular waterfront vistas,unique Lowcountry landscapes and, if you’rereally lucky, a playground. An added bonus ofeating outdoors: You won’t have to worry aboutspills and birds are attracted to the fallen crumbs,so you’ll also have a free animal show.

Provide DistractionsWhat might seem like a reasonable wait foran adult can be an unbearable eternity for ahungry child. Pack some portable snacks, afew small toys and accept crayons, if offered.If there is a wait, spend some time outsideexploring the immediate area looking forlizards, alligators, birds, dolphins and otherLowcountry critters – unless there is an aquar-ium or lobster tank inside. Please keep in mind,small toys make excellent projectiles andcrayons will melt if left in a hot car.

Order Take-OutWhen all else fails, it’s time to place an orderto go. Call your favorite restaurant and enjoy ameal at a local park, the beach, a playground,in your hotel room or on the deck at your ren-tal home or villa. Relax, you’re on vacation!

Every summer, a solstice occurs when the sunreaches its highest position in the sky. You couldsay it represents an alignment of sorts that onlylasts for an instant.

Throughout the Lowcountry real estate market,we are having our own kind of Summer Solstice:The alignment between low prices and interestrates, combined with an abundant inventory,makes for the perfect buyer’s market!

Low Pricing and Interest RatesIn life you can’t always go back in time, but ourcurrent real estate market is allowing buyersto purchase property at prices we haven't seenin close to a decade.

In addition to these low prices, interest rateshave fallen once again. The average interestrate nationwide on a 30-year fixed rate mort-gage is around 4.55%, just .38% higher thanthe all-time low!

From January 1978 to September 1991, theaverage interest rate nationwide on a 30-yearfixed mortgage never got below 9%. Borrowing$100,000 at 9% over a 30-year period requiresan $805 monthly payment. Borrowing $100,000at 4.55% requires a $510 monthly payment.

Fannie Mae HOMEPATH properties allow forputting little money down, no mandatoryappraisal, plus incentives like up to 3.5% buyerassistance. For properties requiring repairs,HOMEPATH has a renovation loan option, as well.

The Palmetto Heroes Loan Program is targetedat law enforcement officers, teachers, firefight-

ers, veterans, nurses and EMS personnel whoreside in South Carolina. It offers low interesthome loans to current first time buyers, plus adown payment assistance program of up to$5,000.

Why Hilton Head Island?Well, for one thing, just take a look aroundyou. Our 12 miles of sandy beaches, moder-ate climate, active lifestyle and in-keeping-with-nature architecture truly make Hilton HeadIsland a special place.

We are also part of a natural migration of BabyBoomers looking to retire to warmer climates.This influx of future retirees, combined withthe fact that the Island is nearing a point ofbeing built-out, will help to drive prices up in the future.

In addition, as other areas just get more andmore commercialized, Hilton Head Island willalways retain some of its natural charm, dueto regulations put in place years ago.

You can always find a reason to put off makinga decision. But, if you have fallen in love withthe Island as I have and want to create morelasting memories here, then don't hesitatebecause there may never be a better alignmentof pricing, interest rates and inventory.

Horoscope August 2011

Aries Keep careful tabs on your check-book now, as you may be tempted to spend

more than you can afford on items that are reallyunimportant. Remember that regardless of cost,nothing is a “bargain” unless you have a real need.Your love life and career could get confused andneither be successful, if you give in to the bland-ishments of a smooth-talking office lothario.

Taurus Go ahead and take that well-earned vacation, despite the appeals of

some who may insist that you are indispensablenow. Your work will suffer and your value coulddecrease, if you allow yourself to be conned. Aninteresting romantic interlude could beckon froman unexpected source, and wind up being a life-long relationship. Financial expectations couldimprove, if you learn to control your temper.

Gemini Hard work and plenty of it willaccompany a decision to make a change

in employment now, but it could prove financiallyrewarding beyond your wildest imagination. Gettogether with close friends for an evening ofpleasant conversation. It could do more than youthink toward settling some problems you havebeen facing. Be wary of romantic promises.

Cancer Plan a pleasant weekend withfamily and friends. Your need to develop

the domestic side of your personality is paramountto your success in other areas. Gain the confi-dence of higher-ups by remaining steadfast in theface of adversity. Job opportunities could comethick and fast, making you yearn for greenergrass. Make sure the green is not just paint.

Leo Guard against damage to yourreputation through indiscretion or mis-

interpretation of your actions by others. Becautious regarding investments with persons ofunsavory background. An interesting socialgathering could prove to be even more so, asyou come into contact with a fascinating Piscean.Be objective in judging your own work and bequick to praise the contributions of others.

Virgo Do your best to avoid being nega-tive, especially when it comes to rating

your own efforts and personality. People tend toaccept your own judgment of yourself, especiallythose in a position to dispense favors. A whirlwindcourtship could surprise you with its suddennessand its outcome. Don’t be caught napping whenit comes to accepting laurels for a job well done.

Libra Your free spirit could get you intotrouble, unless you come down to earth

occasionally. Obligations must be paid, in one coinor another. An old love interest could move backinto your life via a phone call or a chance meeting,but the original problems may not have changed.The needs of a young child or loved one shouldtake precedence over personal pleasures.

Scorpio Your tendency to demand toomuch of a mate or business partner could

bring about a serious break in a long-time rela-tionship, unless you realize your fault and workto correct it. You could gain much respect andindependence by standing your ground and notgiving in to intimidations or threats. An excitingGemini could overwhelm you with attention,but beat you at your own game of selfishness.

Sagittarius A much-planned trip orvacation may have to be postponed

because of illness, but this could prove ablessing in disguise. Aim at pleasing those inauthority over you by exhibiting your loyalty andexpertise, rather than using obvious flattery. Arose will smell sweet only if enough fertilizerhas been used.

Capricorn Keep a close watch overyour finances, especially while taking a

lengthy trip. A new hobby or other activity mayconsume your interest for a time, but don’t let itcome between you and your job or loved ones.Avoid secret meetings with one whosereputation is not clear, and who has been knownin the past to “kiss and tell.” Learn to relax.

Aquarius A close guard over awaspish tongue could save you many an

anxious moment at a later date. Success in yourchosen field may depend as much on a pleasantattitude, as it does on ability. Learn to laugh “with”others, not “at” them. An interesting romancecould develop through a casual flirtation, but makesure that your love interest has not made long-range plans without consulting you about them.

Pisces Now is an excellent time for youto move way out in front of your competi-

tors with a daring, imaginative plan. It couldmean a completely new business of your own,or a major change of field for you, if you will takeadvantage of your own abilities. Love matterscould decline now, leaving you somewhatdisappointed. Expect a financial windfall.

– Swim near a lifeguard. United States Lifessaving Association statistics show that substantially more drownings occur in areas where there are no lifeguards.

– Ask the lifeguard about any dangers in the water or on the beach, especially if he or she is flying a yellow caution flag.

– Be aware of direction and strength of longshore currents.

These currents can take you up and down the beach quickly and cause you or your kids to get lost.

– Don’t let your kids swim unsuper-vised, even in guarded areas.

– Don’t swim alone. Use the buddysystem so that someone always knows where you are so they canget help if needed.

– Don’t overestimate your swim-ming ability. Stay in chest deep or less water to insure you don’t

get stuck in water over your head.

– Don’t rely on flotation devices. – Swim parallel to shore if you

want to swim long distances.– Don’t swim against the current.

Swim across the current to escape the pull.

– Always swim sober.– Don’t dive into unknown water

or shallow breaking waves. Always go feet first. This will helpyou avoid spinal injuries.

The Importance ofSALT MARSHESCourtesy of the Coastal Discovery Museum

Although mucky and smelly, the saltmarsh is an important part of theLowcountry.

In actuality, the salt marsh producesmore food for the environment thanrain forests. The green grass thatdominates the marsh is called saltmarsh cord grass or Spartina. Whenthis cord grass dies each winter anddecomposes, its nutrients are releasedinto the marsh mud, creeks, streamsand even into the ocean. Thesenutrients begin the food chain for theentire Southeastern coastal area.

So, the next time you enjoy a meal ofshrimp, mussels, oysters, blue crab,stone crab or saltwater fish, thank themuddy salt marshes.

Birds in the Salt Marsh

Birds are everywhere on Hilton Head Island.From the beaches to the pine forest to thesalt marsh, our beautiful Island is home to aninteresting variety of birds.

Two specific birds, seen regularly in our tidalsalt marshes, are amongst my favorites: TheWoodstork and White Ibis.

Join me now for a cruise through Broad Creek…

The tide is flowing out, revealing expansiveoyster beds and glistening mud flats. All aroundus, tall green grasses sway with the breeze.The blue sky is dotted with big billowy cumulusclouds that drift peacefully across the horizon.Calm waters allow us to easily and quietlyexplore the landscape.

Gracefully soaring overhead, a magnificentlarge white and black bird.

Notice the black band that extends from wingtip to wing tip, the long out-stretched legs andneck, the large and long black down-curvedbill. Notice how it glides so effortlessly… there’sone, and another! Watch as they gently landat creek’s edge. Do you see them over there,standing in the shallow water, their large billsslightly ajar swaying their heads back andforth patiently waiting for a fish or crab toswim through?

The Woodstork is a patient feeder. It is saidthat ultra-sensitive nerves in their bill sense theapproach of prey and that it can snap it’s eight-inch bill shut more quickly than a blink of aneye!

You are seeing the only stork indigenous toNorth America and it is an endangered bird.Our salt marshes provide critically importanthabitat for the Woodstork and we are veryfortunate to have them here. Very cool!

Just about a foot above the water’s edge, wherethe tall cordgrass is replaced by a shortershrub-like plant, do you see a bunch ofsmaller white birds? Looks like we are justseeing their backs… Oh, I see a few heads!Look at the crystal blue eyes on that one!

These birds have the same distinctive down-curved bill as the Woodstork, but smaller andbright orange! Feeding most often in groups– I’ve seen several dozen at a time – they probethe soft mud for worms, crustaceans, insectsand frogs.

Ah, there they go, the White Ibis. Off to blanketanother feeding ground. Watch as they fly withshort and fluttered wing beats in a looselyshaped “V” formation. See the black wing-tips?You may have noticed that not all the birds inthat group were white. Juvenile White Ibis aremostly olive-brown, with white underparts anda mottled head. I love Ibis!

White Ibis and Woodstorks are just two of thebirds seen frequently in the salt marshes aroundHilton Head Island. Explore our unique eco-system and discover these birds and more foryourself!

Manatees travel into ourSouth Carolina waters oncethe temperatures rise abovethe upper 60s.

By Master Naturalist Kathleen McMenamin, H2O Sports

Sea Cows

It’s a dolphin, it’s a whale…no, actually, it’s a manatee!

The warm summer waters onthe South Carolina Coast wel-come the Floridian Manatees(Trichechus manatus latirostris).Migrating northward, the smallpopulation of about 3,000sea cows is a rare but pleasantsight along our coastal shores.

The Floridian Manatee is asub-species of the West IndianManatee. Commonly found intidal rivers, estuaries and near-shore marine waters, theseanimals adapt well at differentsalinity levels and can be seenin many of Florida andGeorgia’s freshwater rivers.Keep an eye out in the openwaters for backs, tails or snouts.Similar to dolphins, they makemultiple round swirl “footprints”on the surface of the water,caused by the movement oftheir tail. Most manatee sight-ings on Hilton Head are seenaround our local harbors.

Manatees travel into our SouthCarolina waters once the tem-peratures rise above the upper60s. They will be along ourcoasts from June to October,heading south as the watersbecome cooler.

While most manatees are soli-tary creatures, females areoften seen with their calves.Half of a manatee’s day isspent sleeping in the waterand they surface about every20 minutes to get a breath of

fresh air. The rest of their dayis spent grazing for food.These marine mammals havea highly advanced long-termmemory and are very intelli-gent creatures. Slow moving,sea cows generally swim atspeeds of three to five milesan hour but have been knownto swim in short bursts of 19miles per hour.

Manatees are one of thelarger marine herbivores inour waters and feed on marshgrasses and other aquaticplants. Using their large andflexible upper lips to gatherfood, they have six teeth in theirmouth, similar to molars, usedto crush their vegetarian diet.While manatees can processsalt water for hydration, theycommonly look for fresh watersources along the coast. Theydo not have many naturalpredators, but sharks, alliga-tors and crocodiles have beenknown to prey on manatees.

An adult manatee can grow toabout 10 feet in length andweigh up to one ton. Babiesare born at four feet longand are generally about 60pounds. Manatees can live tobe 60 years old. A maturefemale has a single baby everytwo to five years, with a gesta-tion period of 12 months, andthen nurses her young for upto two years. While havingtwins is possible for manatees,it is very rare. Due to the timelyprocess of birth and nursing,it is easy to see why the num-

ber of manatees has notincreased significantly.

Floridian Manatees areendangered. Boat accidents,entanglement in fishing gear,as well as red tides, are all fac-tors in their declining numbers.Human development andpollution have also played afactor in destroying their nat-ural habitat with harsh wintersand cold waters contributing tomanatee fatalities in our area.

It is against the law to feed,harass, touch or hunt mana-tees. The Floridian Manatee isone of many animals protect-ed by the Marine MammalProtection Act and the USEndangered Species Act. Tohelp the US Fish and Wild lifeService in documenting mana-tees, please report any sightingsto Nicole Adimey at (904)731-3079.

Focusing on the wildlifeand habitats of the SouthCarolina Lowcountry, theH2O Nature Center inHarbour Town features livereptile and amphibianexhibits, hands-on displaysand more. Apparel, gifts,books and bicycle/fishinggear rentals are also avail-able.

cJust for Kids


August brings the dog days of summer andlocal fishing generally slows down as thewater temperature reaches the high 80s.There are fish to be found, but you mayhave to look a little harder for them.

Sharks should still be plentiful in the sounds,with the larger blacktips and spinners put-ting on a fantastic aerial display whenhooked. Use live or fresh bait for theseacrobats, floated on top or down on aweight.

Tarpon fishing is generally at its peak thistime of year. Many local fishermen andcharter guides know the secret spots forthe “silver king,” so if you can’t locate agood tarpon hole, you might get lucky ifyou ask a veteran.

Tarpon generally bite on fresh cut bait onor near the bottom. Make sure you havethe heavy tackle required to handle these100-pound monsters and bring extra waterto drink, as tarpon offer plenty of fight andan extended battle.

King and Spanish mackerel fishing will behit or miss, look for the birds chasingschools of baitfish. Trolling spoons or livebaiting near the rips or over structures mayentice a bite from the mackerels.

Inshore, spottail bass (a.k.a. red drum) canbe found tailing on the flats early morning.Spot casting spoons or your favorite fly workwell. Try cut bait around piers and dockslater in the day and evenings. Mudminnowsare also a favorite bait for spottail andflounder.

Offshore should produce dolphin (MahiMahi) and wahoo and don’t forget sailfishhave been spotted and caught as close as15 miles this time of year.

So, to sum up the report for August – theweather is hot and the fishing is not. Goodluck and be patient because better days arecoming in the fall.

The experts at Blue Water Tackleshop inSouth Beach Marina have a full charterfleet with experienced captains who knowwhere the fish are. South Beach Marinais the closest marina to the ocean, whichmeans more fishing & less traveling!(843) 671-3060 or bluewaterhhi.com.

When your body is tiltedupward or downward in rela-tion to the target, the factorsyou need to address areslightly different than thoseconcerning uphill or downhilllies. When faced with an uphillor downhill lie, you must com-pensate for the hook or fadecaused by sidespin. Whenstanding sidehill, you mustcompensate for altered loft.

If your ball has landed suchthat, for the next shot, yourfront foot will be higher thanyour back foot, loft will auto-matically be added to thatshot, since you’ll be swingingmore upward than if you werehitting off of flat ground. Youneed to compensate for thisby reducing the degree of theangle at impact, thereby low-ering the trajectory of the shot.

Put more simply, you need totake an extra club, or perhapstwo or three, to avoid poppingthe ball up and to adjust forpossible loss of distance.

When your front foot is higherthan your back foot, you’ll findit easier to perform a backswingbut more difficult to performa follow-through. The naturalresponse is for your arms totry to overcompensate, whichwill cause inconsistency. Tryto stay in control.

In the opposite case, whereyour back foot is higher, theball is going to come off theclubface at a lower angle thanit would from a flat lie, whichmay increase the distance of

the shot or the bounce or rollyou get at the end of it. Adjustfor this by taking a club withmore loft, since you’ll probablyachieve greater distance with-out even trying.

As when dealing with an uphillor downhill lie, you must beconscious of good balance andof taking a full backswing andcompleting your follow-throughwhen faced with a sidehill lie,rather than allowing anxiety tocause an incomplete swing.

Many golfers exhibit tentative-ness on sidehill lies, leadingto swings made mostly with thearms. An arm swing is incon-sistent, but a swing guided byproper weight transfer, in whichthe arms respond to the move-ment of the rest of the body,will produce predictable accu-racy and distance.

On a downward-tilted side-hill lie, for example, you mayfeel the urge to shorten yourbackswing or resist the exag-gerated weight transfer towardyour front side. Don’t resist it.Go with it.

In this situation, and the othersdescribed previously, it is cru-cial to keep your shoulderstilted on the same plane rel-ative to the slope you’re on.That is, if you’re on a down-ward tilt, don’t lift your frontshoulder because your brainis telling you that’s what willmake the ball go up.

The fundamental principle ofgolf is that you have to swing

down to make the ball go up.

So even if you feel yourselftipping downward toward thetarget on the follow-through,don’t worry that you’re out ofposition because you’re not.This position will encouragedownward impact, causingefficiency of power and correctbackspin. A full follow-throughis always better than a truncat-ed swing.

Here’s a drill to practice side-hill lies, modeled partly afterGary Player. Player alwaysstarted walking toward the tar-get immediately after finishinghis swing. Why? Because hisfollow-through carried himright into the walk.

Try it yourself. Find an areawhere you can practice lieswhere your front foot is higher,and then do the same with yourback foot. With your front foothigher, focus on making a full,natural follow-through. Withyour back foot higher, concen-trate on taking a full backswingand allowing the momentumgoing into your downswing tocarry your finish into a naturalwalk down the slope.
