Founder’s Day CelebrationBy Tess Malijenovsky

“It’s not just the unique history of St. Helena, or the state of South Carolina. It’s a unique American history, and a lot of people don’t

know about it,” said Victoria Smalls about Penn Center. Smalls is in charge of organizing the 150th anniversary of Penn Center’s foundation in 1862 during the Civil War. The event will mark a three-year commemoration beginning this weekend, June 22-23.

Founded by two missionaries, Penn School would be the first school of its kind in the South to educate newly freed slaves. It would be the only safeguard for interracial groups in South Carolina to meet with “the King” during the Civil Rights Movement. It would teach the first volunteers in the Peace Corps about “the third world,” the jungle-like St. Helena Island, which had not the modernized tools of agriculture but instead a rich language and culture foreign even to other Americans.

Today, Penn Center is a nationally historical landmark and a community center with the mission “to promote and preserve the Sea Islands’ history and culture.”

In its 10th year, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Civitas Awards will celebrate the best and brightest businesses and business leaders in Beaufort, Port Royal and the Sea Islands on Friday, June 29 at the Dataw Island Clubhouse.

Part of the Chamber’s Annual Meeting, the event includes a cocktail reception for networking, dinner, comments by the outgoing and incoming chairmen of the Chamber Board, and the highlight of the evening — recognition of the Civitas winners.

“This year, we recognize 34 highly qualified nominees and will celebrate 11 Civitas Awards,” said Blakely Williams, president of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Civitas program is in line with the chamber mission to lead the enhancement,

expansion and diversification of the business community. The awards cover a wide scope of excellence in the community, she noted.

“We are so proud of these nominees, the work they’ve done and the promise they hold for our future,” said Jon

Rembold, 2011-12 Chairman of the Chamber Board.

This year’s judges included Kevin Cuppia, Modern Jewelers; John Perrill, CBC National Bank; Mike McFee, Hometown Realty; Jeff Evans, Lowcountry Weekly; Bill Bootle, individual; Frankie Denmark, Hargray Communications; Jeff Kidd, Beaufort Gazette; and Sallie Stone, Beaufort Memorial Hospital and The Blood Alliance.

The highlight of the Civitas Awards is the Lifetime of Leadership honor. This award recognizes an individual who has made great contributions to his/her community with their lives through various avenues of service. Service may come in the form of business growth and development, setting higher standards and/or demonstrating great leadership skills.

As told by Executive Director Walter Mack: “[The Penn Center] was the people’s answer to everything from education to how to grow food to politics to land retention. Everyone came here and it hasn’t changed that much ... We are the heartbeat of this community and Penn has responded to the needs and wants of the people of this community — not only on St. Helena Island, but I would say everyone within the Gullah-Geechie Cultural Heritage Corridor.”

The Founder’s Day Celebration this weekend will focus on the founding of Penn School, the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Robert Smalls and his capture of the steamship planter through the Reconstruction era. Everyone is invited to learn more on guided historical tours Friday, June 22, at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.; or to visit the Regional Art Showcase at its York W. Bailey Museum from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Enjoy the “Fish Fry with Blues” by local celebrity Bill DuPont from 12-3 p.m. on the Frissell Grounds. It’s also a chance to stop by the book signing with Bob Rogers, author of “First Dark: A Buffalo Soldier’s Story” — a fictional work based on real events and people during the Civil War, Indian Wars, American Reconstruction and Mexican Revolution. Also at the signing will be illustrator John W. Jones, well known for his watercolor paintings of Penn’s historical buildings.

Also, don’t miss the first public screening on Friday at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. of a 30-minute documentary highlighting the deep connection between the Sea Islanders and the land and water that sustains them. The filmmakers and several of the local resident featured in the film will be in attendance.

At the end of the day from 4-6 p.m. in Frissel Hall forum facilitator Fred Washington, Beaufort County Board of Education Chairman, will join 11

expert panelists and members of the community in drawing the future of Penn. A true testament to the Penn Center’s attention to the wants of its community, this community forum will discuss “Penn Center: Then, Now and Tomorrow.”

“Because it does take the whole community and because this is a community center, you want to have everyone’s input — youth, a college student to a 104-year-old person,” chimed Smalls and Mack together.

Saturday, June 23, will begin with an opening ceremony that includes the 54th Massachusetts Vol. infantry Civil War reenactment, the sesquicentennial memorial unveiling and spiritual vocals of church choirs. Penn Center, Inc. will host a banquet at the historic Brick Baptist Church built by West African slaves. Then the celebration will culminate with keynote speakers Roland J. Gardner and Dr. Emory S. Campbell.

Gardner is the C.E.O. of Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, Inc., which provides affordable health services for more than 19,000 patients in the three counties. Of course, before Mr. Gardner was recognized nationally and locally for his excellence in leadership, he was a graduate of Penn Center’s Nursery School and a lifetime

committed supporter of Penn Center as a former chairman on the Board of Trustees and now an 1862 Circle inductee.

Dr. Campbell, also an 1862 Circle inductee, is the Executive Director Emeritus of Penn Center and one of the nation’s leading experts on Gullah culture. Campbell was the former chairman of the Gullah-Geechie Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission and is currently the Director of Gullah Heritage Consulting Services and the manager of Gullah Heritage Trail Tours. He is also working with a team to produce “De Nyew Testament,” a bible translation into Gullah with marginal text of the King James version.

“I’m so amazed of the role that Penn played not only in this region but in the history of the United States,” Mack remarked. “Education for Freedom — that was the key. The whole idea of Reconstruction for the South, it started here. Teaching citizenship to newly freed people, that all started here. No other part of the South. Right here. It used to be a taboo [for Gullah people] to talk about their history or speak their language because it would hold them back. Things have changed. We’re letting the world know we have a unique culture here that needs to be preserved.”

By Dennis Tavernetti“Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog”

from the World Film series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at UsCB Center For the Arts on Monday, June 25 at 4 p.m. and Friday, July 6 at 4 p.m.

synopsis: Based on a true story, this is the sweet tale of a yellow Labrador Retriever guide dog for the blind named Quill. We follow Quill from the litter to his selection as a guide dog shortly after his first birthday. After training at

a Japanese school for guide dogs, Quill is paired with a blind man named Watanabe who at first is reluctant to rely on him. But

Quill’s great patience, gentleness and skill eventually win him over and they become inseparable friends.

Ratings & Reviews: Internet site Rotten Tomatoes rated: critics: 84/audiences: 88. Very high scores. Newspapers reviews: New York Times: “undeniably powerful ... fascinating; Newark Star-Ledger: “...wonderful”; Roger Ebert: “... realistic in every aspect ... they love us, listen to us, are happy when they help us ...”

Previewer Comments: This heartwarming film in Japanese with English subtitles will appeal to children, families and dog lovers of all ages. It also is fascinating to learn how a “seeing eye dog” is selected and then trained to be the eyes of a blind person. There is a huge human interest element in the film between the reluctant blind man and the trusting faithful dog; which reminds us of the special relationship that canines have with humans compared to any other animal on the planet.

Rated: Unrated, but can be considered to be G, suitable for family and adults.

“Jiro Dreams of sushi” from The World series documentary presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at UsCB Center For the Arts on Wednesday, June 27 at 6:30 p.m.

synopsis: The dreams are those of 85 year old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in the basement of a Tokyo office building. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 stars by Michelin, and sushi lovers from around the globe call months in advance and shell out top dollar for a coveted seat. At the heart of this story is Jiro’s relationship with his eldest son, Yoshikazu, the heir to Jiro’s legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential as long as he is in his father’s shadow.

R a t i n g s & Reviews: I n t e r n e t rating sites, I M D b : 7.6; Rotten To m a t o e s : C r i t i c s : 98/Audience: 92. Outstanding marks. Newspaper Critics: New York Daily News: “... An extraordinary morsel of a movie”; TIME Magazine: “... beautifully photographed ...” ; LA Times: “elegant and tasty ...”

Previewer Comments: This world film in Japanese with English subtitles makes clear the sacrifices of perfection by their absence. None of us are going to be top sushi masters, nor massage an octopus for 45 minutes to make it feel soft and subtle in a customer’s mouth, but a lot of us focus on “work” to the near exclusion of all else. This film should not only amaze you about how difficult and time consuming it is to master the art, but all that one gives up in order to achieve that goal and excellence. This film should remind us of the need for balance in our lives.

Rated: PGTickets for adults are $7, seniors $6,

students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Dennis Tavernetti is a resident of St. Helena Island and retired to the Lowcountry having a lifelong interest in the arts.

By Takiya smithIn my columns, I strive to present

topics that discuss and broaden the outlook on beauty as a whole — encompassing mind, body and spirit.

This week’s journey leads us down the path to being body beautiful, internally, which ultimately leads to external beauty. Let’s talk health for a moment regarding fruit and vegetables. This past week, I decided to start and stick with a workout routine of walking the treadmill two times a day for a total of 30 minutes per cycle. So far, so good as I enter my second week, day nine.

Normally, I listen to music but during my routine this past Sunday, I decided to watch a documentary by Joe Cross. “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” tells the amazing story of the author’s recovery from sickness, fatigue, and obesity as he made a life-saving decision to commit to juicing. For those of you, like me, who are not so familiar with the term or process, juicing basically is taking whole, natural fruit and vegetables, placing them in a juicer, or extractor, and drinking the pure, unprocessed juice. In doing so, you receive all the nutrients,

vitamins, protein and energy that your body needs to mend, repair and continue to sustain itself.

As I watched the documentary, my interest was spiked not only in Cross’s drastic weight loss — more than 91 pounds in 60 days — but how amazed his physician was as he watched his patient’s cholesterol, blood pressure and a disease, Auto Immune Syndrome, that had plagued him for years, totally dissipate. In two months time, fruit and vegetables did what years of medicine could only cover up.

Needless to say, I have decided to give juicing. I will document my results and hope that this article is helpful to any who wish to jump-start a healthier way of life or stabilize and maintain any unhealthy, excess weight. For more, visit my blog at www.blb-boutique.com.

By Danette Vernon“How to live to be 100 in 21 Days

or Less” sounds like one of those promotional lines from some dot.com business, and if it was, the headline would be immediately followed by 50 fake testimonials, and a Pay Pal

opportunity. But it’s not. In fact, there’s nothing to buy, and the whole of the responsibility falls on you. You’ll make it happen — or not.

National Geographic writer and explorer Dan Buettner studies the world’s longest-lived peoples, distilling

their secrets into a single plan for health and long life. So what’s the plan in a nutshell you ask, and can it be spelled it out in bullet points? You don’t have time for an actual explanation! Your life is full to the brim. You are over-scheduled already for work — and fun!

Ahh, well, that is the first thing you will have to change to live to be a 100:

Right Outlook: Take time to downshift, pray, meditate. To “hurry” triggers an inflammatory reaction in the body which leads to disease. Slow down for 15 minutes, and you will lead your body back to an anti-inflammatory state.

Move Naturally: Centurions have no focus on exercise, but life is set up so that they move naturally, they sit on the floor, live in vertical houses, mix foods by hand instead of a mixer, walk, and they all have a garden.

Have a sense of purpose and a vocabulary for it: Centurions in Okinawa, have a saying, that they can readily reply to, which translates as, “Reason for which you wake up in the morning.” Having a “known” sense of purpose can add up to seven years to your life.

Eat Wisely: Plant-based diet (centurions eat meat, but focus on nuts and seeds), drink a little wine each day, use small plates, and use the 80% rule when eating — when you are 80% full, stop.

Connect: Put loved ones first, children and the aged. Belong to a faith-based community. This adds 4-14 years to your life.

Right Tribe: In America, 15 years ago, we on average had 3 friends, today, on average, we have 1.5. Centurions are either be born into, or surround themselves with healthy people,

engaging, trusting, trust-worthy, active people — our friends are our live-long adventure!

But what about today, what can you change today? Well again, I quote Shawn Achor, a Harvard researcher on how happiness is connected to productivity. Research shows that the happier we are, the more successful at life, work, or general tasks, we will be come. If you follow his regime for 21 days in a row, this will allow your brain to work more optimistically and successfully:

• Gratitude: Write down three NEW things you are grateful things each day. This will train your brain to scan the world each day, not for the negative, but for the positive.

• Journaling: Journal about one positive experience you had in the last 24 hours, which allow you to relive it.

• Exercise: Exercise teaches you that your behavior matters.

• Meditation: Allows your brain to get over the cultural of ADHD we have been creating by multitasking---always doing more than one things at once. It allows our brains to focus on the task at hand.

• Random Acts of Kindness: Random acts of kindness can become conscious acts of kindness.

Believe it or not, there are people on track to reach their financial goals, but the only way they know they’re on track is that they took the time for figure it out. Knowing where to start remains the first major obstacle for most people when it come to financial planning. If you never start the process you have two problems:

1. You have no idea where you are: what I call your current reality

2. You have no defined goalsIt’s rather hard to arrive at a

destination with a trip plan that lacks a beginning and an end. Of course the other issue with having no plan is the low-grade headache it creates because you do have a sense of where you are and where you want to go, but no idea if you’re on track. We all know the feeling of lying in bed wondering if we’re going to make it.

Getting started is really just as simple as taking the time and getting the help to:

• Clearly define your current reality, where are you today

• Put some framework around where you want to go

The task of assessing future financial needs can be daunting. Often we have perceptions that,

under scrutiny, don’t match reality and have to be adjusted. , BUT the point is that until you sit down, TALK about it, and put some numbers around it, you have NO PLAN!

It’s important to understand that things will change. No matter how much time we spend creating a plan it can’t capture everything about our future reality. All we’re trying to do is make the best guess we can and move on. If you understand that these are guesses (very important guesses), then you can give yourself permission to not obsess over them. Make the best guess you can with the information you have, and then commit to revisit it often enough to make course corrections long before you veer too far off course.

The other wonderful thing that will happen is that often we find out that even though our perception of our future financial needs was not even close to reality, we gain a sense of control that helps us focus on living our lives NOW. In many cases, we learn that we do have enough money and time to meet our goals. It might not even be a situation of needing to grit our teeth and save more, but we never know until we take the time to plan!

By Tess MalijenovskyThe Beaufort Summer Splash!!

Tennis Tournament is back. Now in its seventh year, the competitive USTA-sanctioned tennis tournament returns to Dataw Island on June 22-24. So far, 133 players have entered the adult tournament hailing from Savannah to Charleston to Columbia and, of course, Beaufort.

The Beaufort Summer Splash!! is one of the three adult tournaments in Beaufort, the other two being at Fripp Island. This is the second year the Beaufort Tennis Association is hosting the anticipated event at Dataw Island Club where contestants will able to play tennis on clay courts and enjoy the resort amenities such as the pool, pub and proshops. For the first time, the tournament will feature “The Player’s Party” at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday at Sweetgrass Restaurant at the Dataw Island Marina. There will be a cash bar and reservations are mandatory

(843-838-2151).The champion of the tournament

wins a large cooler and finalists will receive a smaller cooler. “Every year we try to have different prizes because adults aren’t real into trophies,” said Cathy McGill, tournament director. “We try to find something practical that they can use.” All players get a T-shirt, goodie bag and catered lunch from the Dataw Island Club on Saturday.

Cathy said interested spectators who want to watch the tournament just need to say so at the gate and they will receive a day pass.

For more information, contact Cathy McGill at 843-271-0074 or [email protected].

Executive Director Arlene Hull said the Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort

had a sellout crowd of more than 240 people at last weekend’s dinner theater fundraiser at The Shed in Port Royal. The money will go directly to help caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease in our community.

Arlene said, “Thank you, thank you to all of the hard-working volunteers and staff, and the generous sponsors, and the wonderful people who supported us by attending, and the night would have been nothing without our great entertainers, Ron Daise, Harry Chakides, Bernie Schein and Steven Keyserling — the “Unreliables” whose incredible talents made this event such a success. You are all my heros!”

She added, “Please also thank all of the donors of our many silent auction items and the generous people who bid on them.”

The wonderful dinner stations were provided by Breakwater, Emily’s, chefs from Lady’s Island Country Club, Summit Place Assisted Living, Helena House, Morning Side Assisted Living. The salad bar was sponsored by Tidewater Hospice and Roland Washington of We Island, and a bread

station was sponsored by Publix.Special thanks goes to the many

By Lanier LaneyBeaufort County celebrated World

Oceans Day at a great festival this past weekend at ARTworks and in the parking lot at Beaufort Town Center. People collected debris and recyclables and came to help noted assemblage artist Terry Brennan build the large-scale “Locomocean” sculpture which created an imaginative whale with a long tail out of the discarded junk. Terry and wife Wendy are new residents of Cat Island and his works can be seen at Deanna Bowdish’s gallery downtown. Rick Hubbard, aka the Kazoo Guy, kept the kids entertained under the new gazebo as did storyteller Cora Newcomb. The Rose Family Band kept toes tappin’. Booths were set up by organizations focusing on topics to raise awareness of ocean ecosystems.

Sponsors included ARTworks, Beaufort County Public Works, Beaufort County School District, Beaufort County Library System, Beaufort Kayak Tours, Beaufort Soil & Water Conservation District, Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, Coastal Discovery Museum, Friends of Hunting Island, Port Royal Sound Foundation, SC Sea Grant Consortium, Town of Bluffton, Town of Hilton Head Island and Yoga Chandra Center.

Headaches Due to Bite?“Headache is one of the most common reasons for physician visits by patients. One study tracked 953 headache patients for five years. They made nearly 4,000

visits to doctors in seeking relief from headache. Though physicians have identified and classified muscle tension headache, the medical literature is virtually absent of any treatment other than drugs or psychological therapy. These patients went to every conceivable medical specialty but only 8% of those visits were to dentists.

Every dentist who has treated patients knows that the bite can cause multiple health problems termed, TMJ syndrome or dysfunction.” (Mytronics: Vol 23, Nov. 07)

My daughter and partner Katherine Hefner and I have treated hundreds ofpatients with great success eliminating such problems as temporal

(side of head) headaches, headaches at the base of the skull, neck ache, jaw pain, shoulder pain and ringing of the ears.

Most Consistently Voted Best Dentist in Beaufort

By Lanier LaneyWhen Heidi Owen and her son

visited Harbor Island for the first time three years ago, she immediately fell in love with the area. She had no idea her life’s work would bring her and Daniel, age 10, back within just a few years.

Says Heidi, “My son and I had been to Edisto many times, and he and I both talked about leaving the mountains and moving to Beaufort.”

The finger of fate pointed their way when Beverley Porter, the outgoing director of FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice, put together a search committee to find her replacement. Heidi was one of 47 people who applied for the job.

“I met Beverley years ago,” said Heidi, “and I was intrigued by the ‘unique’

approach her hospice had to truly providing free care.”

Beverly created giant shoes to fill though, having built the organization into what it is today, but Heidi certainly had the training having

first gotten a B.A. in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by an MBA in healthcare management at Gardner-Webb University. She also became a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) — all important skills she will need as head of one of Beaufort’s largest

charity organizations. But Heidi also brings more to the table — experience and a proven track record.

Says Heidi, “As far as my 18-year career with Hospice of Rutherford County (N.C.), I conducted three capital campaigns raising over $5 million, built a 12 bed and an additional six bed hospice patient unit, ran two Resale Shops, built a conference center, and then began operation in an adjoining county.”

She also was instrumental in starting an extensive grief counseling program, and a nationally recognized children’s bereavement program and most recently secured a $100K grant to expand those programs.

Heidi explains, “But in the small community from which I came, there was no more room for expansion, so it was time for another challenge in a beautiful area. I am now ready for my second career with Friends of Caroline and am looking forward to hopefully another two decades.” She began her new job on June 4.

Heidi was born and raised near Brevard and Hendersonville, N.C. She was led to hospice work by accident.

“A friend was served by an organization in North Carolina at the end of her life, and I decided then that I wanted to be a part of that special kind of caring,” she said.

Heidi has never married, and says, “I’m not opposed to it. I just haven’t found the right guy quite yet.” But she knew she wanted to raise a child so she adopted her son as an 8-month-old from an orphanage in Russia.

Says Heidi, “My son and I kayak, bicycle and spend most free days out on a dock or shore cast netting and fishing. We are both outside people and Daniel loves the activities of the area.”

As far as how she intends to guide Friends of Caroline Hospice into the future, Heidi says, “Beverley Porter and the board, staff and volunteers have done such tremendous work over the past 18 years. I feel confident that with Beverley’s history and legacy and the board’s support, we can continue that momentum and enable Friends of Caroline to become a nationally recognized model for end of life care as we serve even more people in Beaufort County in the future.”

“Everyone I have met since starting has been absolutely wonderful,” she said. “I am confident that I will enjoy my new life in my newly found ‘home,’ and look forward to meeting many more Beaufortonians who will also become friends and ‘Friends’ of Caroline Hospice.”

Heidi, all of us welcome you to Beaufort.

There is no way around it — markets generally move in cycles!

Although the past is no guarantee of the future, historically, the stock market has spent more time on bullish advances than on bearish retreats — which is why stocks have been considered a good investment over the years — the market also tends to retrench more than the average investor would like to think about. The traditional definition of a bear market is a 20% or greater decline in stock prices.

Some corrections are sharp, but brief, lasting only a day or two — such as the Dow’s 500-point drop in October 1987 — or for a few weeks. Sometimes a short, dramatic decline serves as a prelude

to a lengthier downturn. The 1929 crash and subsequent three-year bear market, which saw the Dow lose almost 90% of its value, illustrates this latter possibility.

In the 1930s, the Cowles Commission, formed to guide investors through the aftermath of the 1929 crash, came up with five essential rules for successful investing, which are still applicable today:

invest for the long term. While the stock market can be risky over the short term, risk decreases as your investment time horizon lengthens. A good rule of thumb is that stock and bond investments should be funded with money you won’t need for at least five years.

invest systematically. One way to avoid the timing dilemma is to use a simple strategy called dollar-cost averaging — the practice of investing a fixed amount of money in a particular investment at regular intervals. Because the amount invested remains constant, the investor buys more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. This means that the average cost per share tends to be lower than the average market value of the investment over the same period.

Dollar-cost averaging cannot eliminate the risks of investing, guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. The success of the program depends on making regular purchases through advancing and declining market periods — and on selling when your investment is worth more than the average price you paid. Since such a plan involves continuous investment in securities, investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.

Diversify investments. When people think about investing their money, they probably envision themselves comparing the merits of various investments. But before they get to that step, there is a more basic decision to

make: asset allocation. Asset allocation is the percentage of investment funds an investor allocates among asset classes such as stocks, fixed income, cash equivalents, and tangibles/real estate.

The decision is an important one. A study of large pension funds determined that a pension manager’s allocations among asset classes had a far greater long-term effect on returns than the individual securities selected.

Buy quality. Periodically, investors become enamored with initial public offerings (IPOs). By definition, however, IPOs involve companies whose stocks are untested in public trading. The average investor should approach this arena with extreme caution and commit no more than a small percentage of investment capital to it.

At the other end of the spectrum are the many companies with histories of consistent sales and earnings growth. Although nothing is guaranteed in the investment markets, there is a lower probability that such companies will drop off the investment map during a correction. Rather, a correction presents investors with the opportunity to acquire more shares of historically seasoned, financially sound companies at reasonable prices.

Get professional advice. Each investor brings a different outlook and level of sophistication to the markets. Most investors can benefit from some degree of professional input. Whether that means professional research on individual securities, advice on asset allocation, or entrusting money to professional portfolio managers, investment professionals are great resources for helping investors achieve their financial goals.

Particularly during corrections, it helps to have a coherent investment strategy worked out in advance and to be able to keep that strategy clearly in mind as events unfold. A qualified investment professional can help plan a sound investment strategy.

By Peggy ChandlerThis week’s Royal Pines News is

presented in pictures as our residents have fun in the sun.

Dick Steeves of Royal Pines and “Red Dog” of Port Royal recently met at the Back Porch Grill. In September and October of 1965 both men served in Vietnam during the war in the Central Highlands. Dick and Red Dog went to Jump School at Fort Benning, Ga., and were stationed at Fort Campbell, Ken., prior to the war. Red Dog presented Dick with a 101st cap.

Royal Pines residents Don Hamilton, Ernie Chandler, Bob Sherard and Richard Bender with their catch of the day, a cobia 23 lbs. and 37 inches caught by Bob Sherard and enjoyed by all four families. The fisherman enjoyed a day on the water aboard the Sea Wolf with Capt. Wally.

At Port Royal‘s Street Music Night, Marisa Sherard, Nancy Steeves and Maritza Schmidt danced to Havana Son. Maritza was born in Cuba and immigrated to New York at age 12.

The story has received rave reviews since its 2010 appearance at Short Story America, and has been optioned by an independent film company in Los Angeles. “I confess to being a devotee of old-fashioned books, so I still don’t own a Kindle,” Johnston said, “but I realize that many people read exclusively on Kindles and tablets, so it’s time to make “Friday Afternoon” available for e-readers.” Four of Johnston’s short stories appear in the first volume of the Short Story America anthology series, which is available at www.shortstoryamerica.com and from Amazon at www.amazon.com.

Mama’s Furniture supports community, gives back

By Helen EvansI remember when my daddy, mama,

sisters and brothers worked on the farm. It was cold and daddy always used to go out and plant tomatoes, okra, and mustard and turnip greens and cotton. He would take the cotton to the mill and sell it. At that time we didn’t have any coats so we would all go sit on the bus because the bus was warm. We also had to go to different family members’ houses because we didn’t have enough space to stay.

Palmetto Medical Initiative was founded in 2008 by Matt Alexander, a veteran nonprofit leader, and Dr. Ed O’Bryan, a physician and longtime medical missions director. The pair took their first team to Uganda for a site visit in 2009 and were overwhelmed by the apparent lack of healthcare facing the Ugandan community they visited. By combining the resources available through globally-minded churches, universities, organizations and individuals, PMI Uganda was realized later that year.

Through the implementation of a successful, sustainable medical clinic on the ground in Uganda, PMI has been able to spread its wings into other valued communities across the world.

PMI’s short-term medical mission teams are a vital component of their long-term approach to improving the quality of healthcare. PMI sends teams of 30-60 volunteers on quarterly trips to project sites in Masindi, Uganda, and Viejo, Nicaragua.

Buffy Camputaro and Son Trask, two local attorneys, joined 35 team members consisting of a general practitioner, dermatologist, pulmonologist, dentist, pharmacist, physician assistants, medical students, nurses, prayer team and various non-medical professionals to care for the underprivileged, malnourished, and

medically deprived people of Uganda. The team treated approximately

400 men, women and children daily. Many of the patients had never seen a medical professional during their lifetime. They would hear that the Mzungus were coming and would travel, often sleeping on the ground or standing up to 12 hours in line, patiently awaiting the team’s arrival. Camputaro stated “The suffering that many of these people endure is indescribable, yet they are so gracious

and appreciative. They have survived rape, genocide, corruption, disease, and deplorable living conditions including limited contaminated drinking water. Yet, one by one, as we cared for them, I saw God and hope in their eyes.”

One pediatric patient who captured Camputaro’s heart immediately was “SS.” She is 18 months old and was severely burned. It is common practice in that part of the world to bandage and bind the burns, which caused her tiny fingers to fuse permanently together. In order to have a productive life or at a minimum work in the fields to survive, SS will require hand surgery.

Camputaro has undertaken the task of finding a willing and able surgeon to join an upcoming mission trip to travel to Uganda as well as raise funds to cover the costs of her surgery. PMI’s brand new state-of-the-art surgery center in Masindi is set for completion this upcoming June. Should anyone know of a competent willing surgeon or wish to contribute toward the cost of this child’s surgery, please contact Buffy Camputaro at 843-442-9517.

For more information on PMI or upcoming medical mission trips, please visit the website at www.palmettomedical.org or contact Tyler McCoy, the volunteer director at 843-696-2223.

Can the da Vinci Surgical System help you get back to life faster?

When the pain from fibroid tumors became unbearable, Genene Aiken knew the answer was surgery. But the busy mom dreaded the prospect of a long recovery. Then she learned about da Vinci surgery at Beaufort Memorial. Withultra-small incisions, Genene’s procedure and recovery were easier and faster than traditional surgery. In fact, Genene was back to her life in chapters, rather than books.

By Pamela BrownsteinAfter 11 years in the Old Bay Market

Place on Bay Street, Marketplace News recently moved to a new, nearby location on the corner of Bay and Charles streets.

It was there that the Lunch Bunch met last week and savored the plentiful options offered at the sandwich and ice cream cafe.

Owner Tae S. Holmes recommended either the egg or chicken salad. Elizabeth had the egg salad on wheat and really liked it, while Nikki approved of the chicken salad sandwich. She said it had a good crunch to it.

Elizabeth’s sister Genny, visiting from Charleston, tried the Craven Street Cucumber made with cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sprouts, mashed avocado and oil and vinegar on wheat. All of the orders can be customized, so she chose to add turkey to her sandwich, and thought it was excellent.

April chose a healthy grilled chicken salad, while her daughter Alexis had a tuna salad sandwich.

Buck ordered the grilled chicken teriyaki house special that came with

homemade fried rice and a side salad. Tae said the yummy plate is her own original recipe.

I went on a total calorie fest and it was worth it with the Charles Street R.T.B. on wheat. Made with roast beef, turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato, the ranch dressing was a tasty addition. With a bag of Cheetos and a fountain drink, it was a super satisfying meal.

The cafe proudly serves more than 20 flavors of Bluebell ice cream, a perfect treat to enjoy on summer afternoons.

We couldn’t resist dessert. Elizabeth and April had low-fat smoothies, peach and peach-strawberry, respectively, and

they were so fresh and delightful, not too sweet. I tried a cup of one of their most popular flavors — chocolate peanut butter — and it was sinfully delicious. Buck ordered a classic banana split that looked almost too scrumptious to eat with the scoops of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate topped with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, nuts and cherries. (Don’t worry, he did eat it!)

They have a kids menu as well as a big selection of drinks and chips. The cafe also provides public wireless Internet access, so it’s a great place to take your laptop and stay connected during your lunch break.

The Marketplace News is located at 209 Charles St., and is open everyday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Catering is available. Call 843-470-0188 for take-out or visit www.themarketplacenews.com.

By Terry sweeneyOK, so fungi is not the most appetizing

word in your vocabulary. But like ’em or not, mushrooms have been the wild forage food of choice all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome. Mexican Aztecs used to call a very special magical mushroom the “food of the Gods” (if you don’t know what the heck they’re talking about, ask one of your old trippy hippy friends).

The only “magic mushrooms” I ever knew were the cutesy toadstools with tiny doors and windows where little people with wings lived, found on the pages of my kiddie books and which delighted me to no end. Finding an actual mushroom on my childhood plate, however, could elicit highly confrontational dinner time drama.

Eight year old me: “What is this?!” My mother: “A mushroom.”Me: “Quick, get it off my plate!” Mother: “But it flew all the way here

from a farm in Pennsylvania, honey.” Me: “Well I hope it bought a round

trip ticket ‘cuz I wouldn’t eat it if it was

the last thing on earth!”

Cue sound effect: Stomping of little feet out of dining room.

Now a grown-up food and wine enthusiast, I can’t get enough of mushrooms and I owe Pennsylvania — still the number one grower of mushrooms in the country — an apology. A trip to my local supermarket or farmers market is never complete until I have armfuls of portabellas, buttons, shiitake, oyster mushrooms, and on the most the blessed of occasions: chanterelles.

And, of course, mushrooms and wine are my favorite pairings. However, one

must definitely choose the right wine carefully.

My most favorite wine to cook mushrooms with or just plain drink with them is Spanish Rioja. And actually since the Spanish were the first to settle here in Beaufort in the late 1500s, I feel that combining the two honors the memories of the conquistadores who probably came over here looking for gold and found, rather disappointedly, mud, marshes and mosquitoes instead. (See how I just made getting drunk on Rioja and eating a big plate of wild mushrooms sauteed in hot garlicky butter seem like some sort of touching tribute to our local history? With practice, you too

can pull off that kind of Happy Wino hokum!)

But really, nothing brings out the earthiness of a mushroom like the world’s most beautiful earthy wine: Rioja. The exception is the otherworldly and elegant chanterelle which can be found June and July at abundance in farmers markets now through August (depending on rainfall). With chanterelles I would choose a dry white wine, especially when using them in a risotto or scrambled eggs or on a white pizza. There’s nothing that the heavenly chanterelle can’t elevate to a higher level (except maybe an episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”)

The chanterelle aside, my favorite Spanish affordable Rioja of choice to accompany all other mushroom dishes is Marques de Caceres Rioja ($15), a sleek blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes. Its macho earthiness pairs beautifully with the wild, down and dirty, flirty fungi.

So what are you waiting for? Go have yourself some summer fungi fun! Cheers!

The Cherry Smash from La ManchaBy Celia strong

I’m not sure if you remember what a Cherry Smash is. Or even if you come from the right part of the country to know what one is. Maybe they aren’t even the same everywhere. I didn’t grow up with Cherry Smashes, but I married someone who did so I am now indoctrinated into that phenomenon. In case you’re not familiar, a Cherry Smash is a candy, sort of on the large side, a bit smaller than a golf ball, but round, about an inch or so in height, chocolate shell on the outside with pink colored (cherry flavored) soft stuff inside, sort of marshmallow fluff texture. Never has been my favorite candy, by a long shot truthfully, but the first time I tasted this week’s wine it reminded me of a Cherry Smash. And, good guess! It’s from the La Mancha region of Spain.

So, here we go to Spain. The region of La Mancha is located in central Spain, south of the city of Madrid. Its name probably comes from the Arab word “al-mansha” that means “the dry land” or “wilderness.” In Spanish, the word “mancha” means “spot, stain or patch.” Like between the two you don’t have a picture in your mind of what it’s like there. La Mancha is the largest plain in the Iberian Peninsula. It is made up of plateau that averages five to six hundred meters in altitude. Most of it is dry and arid. And agriculture is the mainstay of its economy - wheat, barley, wine grapes and olives. People from La Mancha are known as “Machegos,” which sounds an awful lot like one of my very favorite cheeses. Most of us, though, associate La Mancha with Miquel de Cervantes’ “Don Quixote de La Mancha.” This famous story of a knight and windmills was really making fun of the region, using the word “mancha” as “stain,” on Don Quixote’s reputation.

But, I like wine class way better than lit class, so that’s enough of that. La Mancha is also a Spanish wine DO (their version of appellation). There are almost 500,000 acres of vines planted in the region. The first written documentation of viticulture in La Mancha dates to the 12th century. But, it is widely believed that the Romans introduced vines to the area much earlier. In the 1940’s, wine production became a big part of the region’s economy and has remained important since then. The climate here is continental, which means long hot summers and cold winters. In some of the

micro-climates, drought is common. (Remember the Arab meaning of La Mancha.) There is enough rain usually, though, and the vines get about 3,000 hours of sunlight each year which is a lot. The soil is flat, reddish brown, sandy clay, poor in organic material but rich in lime and chalk. The lime layers are what let the vine roots to stretch downward for nutrients. Red wine grapes grown here are Cencibel, aka Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Moravia, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. White varieties are Airen, Macabeo (Viura), Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. La Mancha produces red, white and rose wines, the majority of them, about 80%, being white.

We’re going to look at Tempranillo for our wine this week. And that means a red wine. This grape is a native of Spain and its name comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” meaning early. The name refers to the grape’s early ripening, about two weeks earlier than other red varieties. Tempranillo has grown in the Iberian Peninsula since the Phoenicians. Its great claim to fame, in the world of wine, is Rioja. Because of the quality of these wines, Tempranillo is sometimes referred to as Spain’s noble grape. During the 20th century, Tempranillo traveled around the world, with much trial and error. However, there are plantings now in most wine producing countries. In the United States, it came in 1905, and received a cool reception —

partly because Prohibition was in the near future and partly because it didn’t grow well in hot, dry climates. Later, in the 1980s, with vineyards in higher, cooler elevations, Tempranillo gained success in California. As Tempranillo grows in availability and popularity, producers are learning that they need a cool climate to get elegance and acidity in their wines, but to get color from the thick skins and higher sugar levels for more flavors and alcohol to support them they need a warm climate. Pests and diseases are a serious problem for this grape. Then, its roots absorb potassium easily which raises the pH levels in the grapes. Too much and we get salty juice. This grape also expands and contracts in size as its growing conditions change from humid to dry. Too much swelling with moisture dilutes flavors and colors in the wines. So no wonder good Tempranillo wines can be difficult to make. Tempranillo wines are ruby red in color, with aromas and flavors that include berries, plums, tobacco, vanilla, leather and herbs. It is more often blended than used alone for wines; because of its low a acidity and sugar levels Garnacha, Carignan, Graciano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are good matches for it.

But let’s get back to La Mancha and our Tempranillo for this week. Its name is El Cortijillo. This means little farm in Spanish. It is made by Vinicola de Castilla in Manzanares. This company was founded in 1976 and is a La Mancha pioneer in making fruit-forward style wines that can be drunk young. It is a privately owned company and all their wines are made from grapes that they grow on their five hundred acre estate. And, yes, you can see windmills from their vineyards. The El Cortijillo is made from 100% Tempranillo, full of red fruit smells and tastes. In particular a mild red cherry, just like in a Cherry Smash. It is a medium, light-bodied wine, perfect for warm weather. And it has a bright acidity which means it can be slightly chilled. Again, perfect for summer sipping. For food, most summer dinners will work — grilled anything, salads, salsa, Machego cheese, burgers, pizzas, and on and on.

So, even if you don’t remember or know what a Cherry Smash is, now you can sip one. Either way, this wine is going to make some good memories. And get this, it only costs $6.99! Piece of cake, oops, I mean piece of candy. Enjoy.

100 positive experiences in 100 daysBy Tracie Korol

A well-meaning family adopted Cruiser from a shelter when he was 16 weeks old. He was “shy,” the shelter said plus he had been at the facility for two months, half his life. He was the only puppy at the shelter at the time so the family decided to take him despite his timidity. He’d come around, they thought, with love and attention.

What the didn’t know was that at 16 weeks Cruiser was reaching the end of a pup’s most important socialization period — the time in his life when he learns what is safe and good, and what is scary. During this period, pups that live with humans need to learn the world is a good and safe place. Their general assumption then becomes that people and other animals, places and things are okay unless proven otherwise.

In contrast, pups that are not socialized tend to be suspicious of everything except for a very narrow range of experiences they encounter in their very limited environment — their basement, backyard, or the family room, for example. The rest of the world terrifies them, and any positive exposures they get later in life must struggle against this early, very strong programming. I consult with many dog owners whose dog’s lives begin and end at the front door. Anyone or anything out of the scope of the dog’s understanding of the world elicits hysterical barking, fear biting or shaking in terror under the coffee table.

New pup owners are often counseled by veterinarians to keep their baby dogs cloistered safely at home until they are fully immunized. Great from the physical health perspective because you don’t want to risk exposing your new Best Friend to nasty diseases, but from a mental health perspective, it’s horrible advice. You have only two to three months to give your pup an unshakable faith in the goodness of the world. You cannot afford to wait until those shots are done. During this period you want to give your pup 100 new positive exposures and experiences to “vaccinate” him against the possibility that he will feel compelled to bite someone someday or live a life in fear of people, places and things.

Giving your pup 100 positive experiences in 100 days is not as daunting as it might sound. The most important thing is to control the circumstance so that the experience remains positive for you puppy. For instance, arm your mail carrier with some high value treats or your pup’s favorite toy. Imagine how thrilled your puppy will be to see that the man with the big scary bag likes

squeak-bunnies, too! Arm the UPS driver, too. Start an early positive association with uniformed visitors to your home and avoid trouble later.

Enlist your neighbors or sit at a park bench or in front of your local library. Look for tall men, short men, tall women, short women, skinny men and women, portly men and women, babies in arms or babies in backpacks or strollers, toddlers, older children, tweens and teens. People with umbrellas, people with hats, people using walkers or canes, people using wheelchairs, kids on bikes, kids on scooters, on skateboards or kids playing basketball ... and all of the above in various ethnic groups. Take an ample supply of treats anywhere you take your pup. When anyone approaches with “ooh! What a cute puppy,” invite them to give your dog a tiny treat.

Then add locations to your list: your bank, pet supply store, copy center, hardware store, outdoor café or any place that doesn’t have a “No Dogs” sign on the door. (Most establishments are happy to accommodate if your visit is explained as a training session.)

Places you don’t want to take your pup include off-leash dog parks or any place with an accumulation of feces from unknown dogs; any place where he might encounter sick dogs; any place where he might encounter aggressive dogs; any place he would have to be left unattended — in a hot car or tied outside a shop for “just a minute”; any place he would be uncomfortable — in the hot sun at a ball game; any place where he is likely to encounter aggressive, rowdy, drunk or otherwise inappropriate humans such as street fairs, festivals, parades; or any place where you won’t be able to devote enough attention to him to ensure his safety, security and well-being.

You get the idea. Be creative. Keep a list with a goal of one new exposure per day until your 100 days are up. But then, are you done? Hardly. Your dog will need new experiences throughout the rest of his life. But the first 100 is the most important.
