Heritage Days at Penn Center Every year, Penn Center celebrates the history and culture of the Sea Islands. Since its inception in 1981, Heritage Days Celebration has grown from a single day of events and food to three days of culturally fun-filled events. This year, the 31st Annual Heritage Days Celebration theme “Eyes Still on the Prize: Continuing a Legacy of Change” honors the 150th Anniversary Commemoration (2012-2014) of Penn Center Community Service, The Civil Rights Movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Penn Center’s 31st Annual Heritage Days Celebration is an exciting three-day event that includes music and dance performances, Gullah storytelling, period reenactors, delicious cuisine, regional artist and authors, food and craft vendors, and youth day activities. The celebration kicks off with the Opening Ceremony & Founder’s Day Memorial Service at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7. The York W. Bailey Museum presents The Art of Cassandra M. Gillens, a spectacular collection of art depicting Gullah Lowcountry living at its best. The collection will be on exhibit through the end of December.

Jake Giammatteo salutes our veterans Beaufort County School District now recognizes Veterans Day as an observed holiday thanks to local student By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer

On November 11 of last year, 9-year-old Jake Giammatteo sat in his Coosa Elementary School classroom puzzled and disappointed. On a day that our country proudly recognizes as a national holiday, Beaufort County School District did not observe Veterans Day. Giammatteo thought this was unacceptable, especially in a town that is home to three military installations. “Beaufort, SC, is a military town. I didn’t understand why we didn’t recognize our veterans,” explained Giammatteo. So, he decided to do something about it. Jake wrote a letter to the Beaufort County School District and Board of Education requesting Veterans Day off to give thanks to all those who served honorably in the military, in wartime and peacetime, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact

that all those who served — not only those who died — have sacrificed and done their duty for our country. Along with the letter, Giammatteo gathered signatures from students on a formal petition and sent it as an enclosed attachment. VETERANS continued on page 2

And, as a gesture of respect to our veterans, Giammatteo pledged to wear a tie every day to school to honor our heroes. He earned the nickname, “The Tie Guy.” “I wanted to dress nicely at school to honor those men and women who died for our country and those who still serve,” explained Giammatteo. As leadership changed within the school district, the minds of its new leaders did too. This year, thanks to Jake Giammatteo, Beaufort County School District recognizes Veterans Day as an observed holiday. Though the school district has not acknowledged Giammatteo as the catalyst behind the amended calendar, another celebrated community figure and many teachers and administrators have. Marine Brig. General L.E. Reynolds sent Giammatteo an official letter thanking him for his patriotism and commending him on his professionalism, especially at such a young age. Giammatteo’s former principal, Carmen Dillard, also saluted his efforts. “He found a way to express his concerns in a very positive manner. He worked very hard to communicate this with students and faculty. I am very proud of him,” says Dillard. Dillard recognized Giammatteo at Coosa Elementary School’s Leadership Day last May. At the event, Lt. Col. 2

the origins of veterans day In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day and called upon Americans everywhere to re-dedicate themselves to the cause of peace. He issued a Presidential Order directing the head of the Veteran’s Administration, now the Department of Veterans Affairs, to form a Veterans Day National Committee to organize and oversee the national observance of Veterans Day.

Michael Bowersox and the Chaplain of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island personally expressed thanks to Giammatteo. Another big fan of Jake Giammatteo’s perseverance was Coosa teacher Jim Olsen, a former Marine. To encourage Jake’s commitment to dressing reverently at school, Olsen contributed ties to his wardrobe. The word spread quickly. Coosa’s PTO arranged a drive and also donated ties. Jody Henson, past commander of the local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, not only gave Giammatteo more ties, but also a scholarship in his name. Now a fifth grader at Lady’s Island Middle School, Giammatteo continues his tradition of wearing ties, not only on Veterans Day, but every day. He was elected by his peers to serve as the Student Council Secretary. He’s also a member of the cup stacking team and a proud member of the Gentleman’s Club.

Port Royal man arrested on drug charges

On October 29, members of the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office Drug Investigations Section arrested Terry Welborn on drug charges. Drug investigators received information over the past year in reference to a subject by the name of Terry selling scheduled drugs from a residence in Port Royal. Investigators were able to identify the subject as Terry Welborn, residing at 116-A Tamara Lane in Port Royal. When the search warrant was executed, quantities of various pills and crack cocaine were seized, as well as $25,000 in cash.

Perhaps the most spirited role Giammatteo plays at Lady’s Island Middle School is that of school mascot. Jake is the LIMS Cougar and rallies students during athletic games and ceremonies at the school. And on Friday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m., Jake will lead the opening ceremony for Lady’s Island Middle School’s Veterans Day assembly. Principal Mona Lise Dickson and Assistant Principal Gregory Hall believe there is no one better suited for this prestigious duty. And, the public is invited to attend to, not only celebrate and show allegiance to our veterans, but also give thanks to Giammatteo. “Jake stood up for what he believed in, and he did so positively and productively. He demonstrated persistence and communicated with clarity and precision. We are proud of Jake,” says Mona Lise Dickson. Jake Giammatteo is a hero and a statesman, even at the age of 10. He followed protocol for change and got it. He deserves thanks from all those represented within the Beaufort County School District. Jake is the proud grandson of USMC Korean War Veteran, Sgt. Robert F. Pelosi, and two of his cousins are active duty soldiers. USMC Sgt. Ryan Mason is stationed at MCAS Beaufort, and USMC Cpt. Scott Mason is stationed at Parris Island. Both cousins served in Afghanistan. Jake is the second son of Joan and Guy Giammatteo. His siblings are Tyler, Gage and Emmajay. The family lives on Lady’s Island.

Vitamins reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration By Mark S. Siegel, MD, FAAO

More than a decade after the first age-related eye disease study (AREDS) showed that taking daily high doses of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper can slow down the progress of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) a second study (AREDS 2) has revealed that adding certain antioxidants to the original formula does not provide any extra benefit to patients. Advanced AMD can lead to significant vision loss, and in the United States it is the leading cause of blindness. About 2 million Americans have advanced AMD; another 8 million are at risk. The first AREDS study was conducted by the National Eye Institute and concluded in 2001. It showed that the original AREDS formula could reduce patients’ risk of the advanced form of AMD by about 25 percent. The formula helps protect people’s central vision, which is needed for reading,

driving, recognizing faces and other daily activities. AREDS2, which concluded in 2011, tested several antioxidant nutrients that earlier research had suggested might protect the eyes: lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are produced by plants and are present in oily fish such as salmon. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, a class of plant-derived vitamins that also includes beta-carotene, and are present in leafy green vegetables. The body uses these nutrients to maintain the health of the retina, the part of the eye that can be damaged by AMD. Participants in AREDS2 were assigned to take one of four different AREDS formulas daily for five years. The AREDS2 research team did find that two patient subgroups benefited from taking variants of the original AREDS formula. The risk of developing advanced AMD was reduced by about

Dr. Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO

Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com. 525-1500.

18 percent in study participants who took the variant that included lutein and zeaxanthin but no beta-carotene, compared with participants who took the variant that had beta-carotene but no lutein or zeaxanthin. And those participants whose diets were low in lutein and zeaxanthin at the start of the study, but who took a variant with lutein and zeaxanthin during the study, were about 25 percent less likely to develop advanced AMD, compared with similar participants who did not take lutein and zeaxanthin. The researchers say that removing

beta-carotene from the AREDS formula and adding lutein and zeaxanthin will result in a single formula that is safe and effective for all AMD patients. Until now, people who were current or former smokers could only use a formula that excluded beta-carotene, because it had been linked to risk of lung cancer for these patients. About half of AREDS2 participants were former smokers. Another recent AREDS report showed that the benefits of taking the AREDS formula appear to be longlasting. Participants in the first AREDS study who took the original formula daily for five years continue to enjoy a 25 percent lower risk of developing advanced AMD. Most report that they are still taking the supplement. It is recommended that you discuss these research results with your ophthalmologist and primary care physician before changing or adding a supplement to your regimen.

What radio station are you dialed into? By Martha O’Regan

What radio station are you dialed into, and, I don’t mean the one in your car or at work, but your personal radio station, the one that is constantly vibrating within you, the one that you resonate with. We know that everything in all of creation is energy, there are no exceptions. When we take that one step further we can say that everything is actually a vibration or a frequency, and that means everything, including our own body and responses to life. We’ll go back to our car for a moment. When we turn our dial on a particular radio station, we only tune into what is coming through because we have set it vibrate at the same frequency due to the signal being released from the various radio towers. Now, as we get further away from that tower, we may hear another station begin to overlap into our dialed in station. This is known as the Universal Law of Resonance stating that when two frequencies are present, the stronger of the two will override. That happens with each

of us every minute of every day. OK, so what does that mean? When I heard the statement that no one can make me angry but that they can activate anger in me, it didn’t make much sense. Now, with the law of resonance, I am beginning to get it. In a room with several guitars, if someone were to pluck the G string, the other guitars would begin to vibrate on the same frequency since it was the strongest vibration in the room. Since we are each a symphony of vibrations within our bodies and memory fields based on all of our life experiences,

when someone in our field says or does something, a like or stronger vibration will become activated. This can explain why misunderstandings occur. Someone says something seemingly benign but, based on the frequency of the recipient’s personal radio station, a stronger vibration will get plucked and without warning, frustration or anger shows up, activating upset in the other person with “oh my gosh, all I said was ...” or “all I meant was ...” I think we’ve all experienced the song that gets sung from there, or is it just me? So, we’ve heard from the Law of Attraction that we create what we think about. Well, actually what shows up is what we vibrate. If we set our intentions for a life of peace and joy, but are vibrating in worry and fear by watching the news or constantly sharing our doubts, frustrations and worries about the economy, our family, etc. then we will attract more experiences to activate worry and fear. Our first step is to turn off the news, stop sharing our victim stories and gossip, and surround ourselves with positive

people, enjoyable music, nature and things that just feel good to us. When we feel an activation of upset, rather than growling back with our automatic reaction, check in to the area of your body where you feel the upset and take a deep “chubby belly” breath with a heavy sigh out. The old standby of counting to 10 works too. Just take a moment to tune into your personal radio station and the familiar song it wants to sing, then just visualize changing the dial to choose a different song with a different frequency. This moment to shift allows you to choose your response responsibly rather than your auto reaction, just because it is the familiar. This may be a challenge for some at first but with repetition it becomes easier then becomes a whole new radio station all together. So, as the Beach Boys would say, here’s to “Picking up good vibrations!” Live Well ... Have Fun!

Tips on managing oral complications with cancer treatments By Dr. Wallace

More than 1,250,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with cancer every year. Approximately 500,000 of these individuals (40% annually) will develop oral complications from the therapy used to treat their cancer. These complications have the potential to adversely affect treatment outcomes, cancer prognosis, and quality of life for millions of men, women, children and the families that love them. Because time is a major concern after a diagnosis of cancer, the dental team should see the patient within 24 hours of referral from the oncologist. The main reason oncologists may not refer their patients for a pretreatment dental evaluation is to avoid any delay in starting treatment.

Many cancer patients are unaware that cancer treatments can affect the oral tissues. Dental professionals need to be a part of the cancer treatment team; diligent oral care prior to, during, and following cancer treatment can prevent or reduce the severity of oral complications. This can enhance both the patient’s survival and quality of life. Your dentist holds a critical position on the healthcare team for cancer treatment. A thorough oral evaluation by a knowledgeable dental professional at least two weeks before cancer treatment begins is important to the success of the regimen. Recognizing oral problems that already exist, such as periodontitis, caries, failing restorative work, and dentures may decrease the risk of infection. Areas

the island news | november 7-13, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com

where the gums or tissues are irritated can lead to ulceration in the mouth. Many of the medications used cause dry mouth. Pain and discomfort resulting from teeth and gums make it difficult for a patient to receive all of his or her treatment and sometimes treatment must be stopped completely. What would typically be routine work becomes urgent. By starting preventive measures before and during early cancer therapy, it is possible for dentists to reduce the occurrence and the problems associated with their patients’ cancer treatment and significantly improve physiologic and social functioning. Timely oral care can also improve post treatment social adaptation and life quality, as well as

prevent teeth having to be extracted in the interests of expediency with the patient having little choice in the matter. Common oral complications of cancer treatment include: • Inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes inside the mouth (causing pain, oral and systemic infection). • Infection: viral, bacterial, and fungal (thrush/pain and burning of the tongue) • Xerostomia: dryness of the mouth because of thickened, reduced, or absent salivary flow (increases risk of infection and comprises speaking, opening mouth). • Extensive dental decay. Dr. Wallace is with Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort, 40 Kemmerlin Lane, Beaufort, SC 29902. Call 843-524-7645.

Our plan is to stock collars, leads, dog beds, dog sized collegiate sports apparel, travel items, novelties. The business plan is to stay out of the food and live pet business, while concentrating on quality pet accessories and dog fashion statements.” David and Katherine arrived on Lady’s Island from Naples, Florida, in February with their 10-year-old Wire Hair Fox Terrier, Mercie. Katherine has never met a dog that she didn’t love. The business was her idea — there aren’t enough things for the discriminating dog. “We are staying away from food and supplies. You can get that at PetSmart. We look to service a different market with gifts, 6

There really is no competition within a hundred miles to appeal to the vacation and retiree market as well as local dog lovers,” said Katherine. As their store backs up to The Grooming Cottage, a professional groomer in the same building, Haute Diggity Dawg will be offering their clients coupons for the store. The grand opening was on November 1. New inventory is

They are open to suggestions as to favorite lines of merchandise to stock. Please contact the store with ideas at HauteDiggityDawg@outlook.com. David, a lawyer and realtor, states that most of his life was spent in suburban Detroit; Washington, DC; and Naples, Fla., but that he has known about Beaufort since he was a child. He said, “My mother was a Barnwell, and Tuscaroara Jack Barnwell (Beaufort’s founder in 1711) is my seven greats grandfather. My Great-Great-Grandfather moved to Georgia after the Civil War. I love this town. Growing up, I never had many relatives around, now it’s like coming home, only 150 years later!” Haute Diggity Dawg is located at 53B Sams Point Road, Lady’s Island, SC, 29907. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Call 843-522-0679.

ARTIZEN HOLDS GRAND OPENING On Tuesday, Nov. 12, ArtiZen Yoga and Massage will hold its official grand opening celebration from 6 to 8 p.m. Owner Elizabeth Vanderpool reports, “We’ve had a couple of weeks to work out the kinks in our transition from the former Dancing Dogs to ArtiZen. The new signs are up, and everything has a fresh coat of paint. It’s time to celebrate!” Being a yoga studio, the celebration, of course, includes a yoga practice. ArtiZen staff will be team-teaching an all-levels, unheated yoga class, followed by an open house. “It’s a great chance to meet our staff, see the redecorated space, and experience a class for yourself,” said Vanderpool. “If you’ve been wanting to drop in, consider this a formal invitation. We’ll be offering some great specials for new and loyal clients. We want you want to come back for more!” For more information, including the latest class schedule, visit ArtiZenYoga. com or the ArtiZen Yoga page on Facebook.

www.genegrace.com 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 of patients 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. 8

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

beaufort brownsteins

love, work and raising a family in the lowcountry By William Laney It was their shared interest in journalism and how it could make the world a better place that first brought Pamela and her future husband Daniel Brownstein together at The Island Packet in Bluffton. Daniel was a reporter and Pamela a copy editor. Daniel had grown up outside of Columbus, Ohio, in Westerville, a town known historically as an important stop on the Underground Railroad. He got a Broadcasting degree from Otterbein College. Pamela, from Montville, N.J., got a journalism degree from Penn State. It was Pamela’s parents’ second home in Hilton Head that first introduced her to the area. Daniel followed his friends from Ohio who had gotten jobs in the area. The Brownstein Family: Pamela, Selah, Wolfe and Daniel. It was at The Island Packet where Pamela won “Best of the Best” out of all newspapers in the state for her And they both love living in Beaufort. Pamela said, front page designs from the South Carolina Press “I like the friendly people and that there are so many Association (SCPA). She also won Daniel’s heart. interesting characters. Living in a small town is nice Pamela said, “I thought Daniel was handsome right because everywhere we go we see people we know. away: he’s tall with a great smile and big brown eyes. We have great neighbors and the sense of community Then I saw how good he was at his job as a writer and cultivated here is sincere and reassuring.” reporter, and that was very attractive too.” Adds Daniel, “I like that Beaufortonians are eclectic, Daniel said, “I knew Pam was ‘the one’ when she welcoming and are unafraid of being different from the drove me around Beaufort and out to Hunting Island rest of South Carolina. This is a special place and I am in the middle of winter. I had no idea where I was, but glad it is filled with such special people.” I knew I never wanted to leave. It was a combination of Pamela is now editor of The Island News where she the golden sunlight, her hair blowing in the wind and a has won several SCPA awards for column writing and magical feeling that I was meant to be there.” page design, as well as helping to make it Beaufort’s They were married on the Bluff along Bay Street in most popular paper for local coverage. She said, “I truly Beaufort four years ago and now live nearby with their believe that our free weekly paper is a valuable addition two young children, Wolfe (22 months) and Selah (3 to the community. People tell me all the time how months). much they enjoy The Island News, and that makes my Daniel said, “What I really love about Pamela is job so satisfying. I feel very fortunate that I am able her enthusiasm for life and people. She is spunky, to use my design skills and journalism experience to funny, fiercely loyal, and despite her insistence to the bring readers a quality newspaper that represents the contrary, she is also quite selfless, patient and sensitive, positive aspects of Beaufort.” particularly when it comes to raising our children.” Daniel now works for the District Attorney as Though having two young children while both Communications Director for the Fourteenth Circuit maintain fulltime jobs can sometimes be quite Solicitor’s Office, where he is involved in many aspects challenging, Pamela finds marriage to Daniel has made of the operations including public/media relations, it all worthwhile. “Daniel’s sense of humor keeps me strategic budgeting, grant-writing and project laughing and his intelligence never ceases to amaze me,” management. Says Daniel,“Solicitor Duffie Stone hired she said. “And now, with two kids, I’ve seen him as such me to help modernize a five-county prosecutor’s office. I an awesome dad, and I didn’t think it was possible to consider myself very lucky to see the inner workings of a love him more than I already did, but he is so patient district attorney’s office and to get to shape policies and and sweet, it makes me feel so lucky to have him in my programs that help people.

Team to address domestic violence and rape in some of South Carolina’s poorest and under served counties. In Beaufort County, I secured federal funding for a special problem-solving court that provides comprehensive treatment to address the underlying reasons kids have turned to crime. I am grateful Solicitor Stone has given me the opportunity to build up such valuable experience as we work to achieve his goal of creating a professional prosecutor’s office filled with committed employees who do good things both inside and out of the courtroom.” And to that end, both Pamela and Daniel are involved in various charities. Pamela said,“I support the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, especially after my mother’s battle with breast cancer. I am also constantly amazed at all the hard work that goes into so many wonderful local charities. From CAPA to CODA to Friends of Caroline Hospice, just to name a few, Beaufort is definitely a caring community that helps those in need and rallies behind worthy causes.” Daniel adds, “As part of my job, I get to see a lot of good people who sacrifice a great deal to help people who find themselves in the worst situations you can imagine. I have been honored to help them. I really think the folks at Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse, Hope Haven of the Lowcountry and Child Abuse Prevention Association deserve our community’s undying gratitude and support.” Daniel is also a board member and active participant in the Lowcountry Coalition Against Human Trafficking because he says “I have never been able to stand people being taken advantage of.” As for the future, Daniel will graduate next month with a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina. He said, “I feel like I am in a place where I am open to life’s possibilities with no real concrete career plan for the first time in my life. I would like to manage an organization, because that will allow me to do a lot of different things.” For Pamela, her goals are more immediate. “I just turned 35, so my goal for this year is to get in better shape and try to lose this baby weight!” The beauty of Beaufort is what attracted Pamela and Daniel here and the people and community they found helped them stay and make a life together. In return, they have given a tremendous amount back to building and strengthening that community.

Aunt Pearlie Sue and The Gullah Kinfolk will appear in a public performance of their original musical, “The Gullah Journey From Africa to America ... The Circle Unbroken,” on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort, 178 Sams Point Road, Lady’s Island. Reservations are required and may be made by calling toll free: 1-866-7269346. Seating is limited. There is no admission charge, but a love offering will be welcome at the door. Aunt Pearlie Sue is the creation of award-winning storyteller and singer, Anita Singleton-Prather, a retired teacher and ordained minister. The character is based on Singleton-Prather’s grandmother and has entertained audiences with Gullah-flavored folktales for more than 20 years. Singleton-Prather has performed at the Beaufort Gullah Festival, Penn Heritage Days Festival, the Woodlands Festival and at Spoleto USA. Her original movie, “My Man Done Wrong,” has been a part of the film festival circuit to include the Jamerican Film Festival in Kingston, Jamaica and the Black Hollywood and San Francisco Film Festivals in California. She also appeared in the film “Forrest Gump.” The Gullah Kinfolk is composed of singers, musicians and storytellers who

perform educational programs in the Gullah tradition. The group appeared at the Children’s Museum of Houston last December and has performed many times for schoolchildren and adults in Beaufort and elsewhere. Singleton-Prather hopes the concert will raise money to support her group’s goals of raising awareness of the history and traditions of the Gullah people and for educational and enrichment programs for youth in Beaufort. “GOD is faithful even in the midst of our worry and doubt. We celebrate Him through our performances. Our music and story-telling reflect the strength and spirit of the Gullah people who endured through times that test the soul,” she said. A portion of concert proceeds will benefit the social justice projects of the UUFB. Reverend Nan White said her church is delighted to sponsor the concert. “Unitarian Universalism has a legacy of support for worthwhile organizations such as The Gullah Kinfolk. We hope the enthusiasm generated by the Heritage Festival at Penn Center will help draw a large crowd of people to this vibrant and moving theatrical concert,” she said.

A preview of Puccini’s opera ‘Tosca’ By Alan Schuster

Puccini’s “Tosca” by The Met Opera will be live in HD at the USCB Center For the Arts on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 12:55 p.m. If you’re prepared to accept “a savage assault on the emotions” as one opera commentator described it, then “Tosca” will rivet your attention from its brutal opening chords to its final bars when Tosca leaps to her death. In fact, when Puccini began composing it, he decided that while his first masterpiece “La Boheme” was all Patricia Racette, who sings the role of Tosca. poetry and no action, “Tosca” would be all betrayed, she departs to confront Mario. action and no poetry. And so it is. As Scarpia orders his agent, Spoletta, to Act I: The Church of Sant’Andrea, follow her, a huge crowd gathers for the Rome, 1800. Artist Mario Cavaradossi is choral singing of a Te Deum. Scarpia working on a painting of the Madonna kneels to pray, but his thoughts are only on when Angelotti, an escaped political the capture of Cavaradossi and winning prisoner, enters. Mario, his friend, agrees Tosca’s love, both of them at any cost. to help him seek asylum. Floria Tosca, a Highlights: Mario: “Recondita armonia” famous opera singer and Mario’s lover, (The strange harmony of contrasts...). A arrives and soon becomes suspicious when fine lyrical passage in which he envisions she recognizes the face of the Marchesa Tosca as the model of his portrait. Tosca: Attavanti (Angelotti’s sister) in the “Mario... Mario....” Her voice precedes her painting. He gently soothes her jealousy, entry, leading to several passionate exchanges and they agree to meet later that evening. between them.When she becomes suspicious After she leaves, Mario rushes away with about the painting, Mario responds with the Angelotti. A cannon is heard, signaling beginning of one of Puccini’s finest extended Angelotti’s escape, and the arrival of Rome’s duets, “Qual occhio...” (What eyes...). Then, ruthless chief of police, Baron Scarpia. He in a brilliantly-created final scene, Scarpia discovers the Marchesa’s fan, and believes stands alone observing the processional. As that Angelotti has fled with the artist. the orchestra and chorus swell to full force, When Tosca returns, Scarpia taunts her Scarpia calls out a terrifying:“Tosca! For you with the fan, rousing her suspicions once I will renounce my hopes for heaven.” again. Now convinced that she has been Act II: Scarpia’s room at the Farnese

Palace. Tosca is ending a concert nearby as Scarpia dines. Spoletta brings in the captured Cavaradossi who denies helping Angelotti. In response to a note from Scarpia, Tosca arrives, but before Mario can warn her to keep silent, he’s taken away to be tortured. When his screams become unbearable, Tosca reveals where Angelotti is hiding. This betrayal angers Mario, but when news arrives about Napolean’s victory, his anger turns to a defiant cry for freedom. Scarpia orders him taken away for his execution. Alone with Scarpia, Tosca tells him that she will pay any price to spare Mario’s life. Scarpia chillingly demands that she become his mistress – and she despondently agrees. He signs safe conducts for them, adding that he will order a mock execution at dawn in order to cover their departure. Moving to embrace her, Tosca grabs a dinner knife and stabs him to death. Highlights: Few, if any, operas come close to sustaining as much dramatic intensity as seen and heard in this act. From the moment Tosca arrives until she leaves with Scarpia’s corpse on the floor, the pressure builds relentlessly. And yet in the midst of so much turmoil, Puccini masterfully insinuates the most famous of all his great soprano arias, her “Vissi d’arte” (I live for art), a heartbreaking outburst of despair. Act III: The Palace roof. Mario is escorted from his cell to write a letter. His

thoughts are about Tosca who arrives to tell him that she has secured safe passages for their escape, but only after he takes part in the mock execution. The firing squad arrives; shots ring out; Mario falls, and Tosca approaches, only to find him dead. Soldiers rush in to arrest her. She runs to the parapet and leaps to her death. Highlights: A tranquil beginning provides a stark contrast to the tragic ending awaiting the two lovers in this brief final act. In the distance, the magical sound of sheep bells and the voice of a shepherd suggest the stillness of dawn, followed by Mario’s letter to Tosca in an aria of great beauty, “E lucevan le stelle” (The stars were shining...). Soon Tosca enters with the documents, leading to a tender love duet between them, “O dolci mani...” (Oh gentle hands...). And then in one of operas most vivid finales, Puccini punctuates the mock execution and Tosca’s death leap with electrifying orchestration. Patricia Racette, whose career as a singer/actor continues to grow admirably, is in the title role. She’s joined by the fine tenor Roberto Alagna as Mario and the imposing basso George Gagnidze, a villain that audiences will love to hate. Rating: Definitely PG.

The Bacon and Slaw Dog special with spicy mustard.

Delicious hot dogs and outdoor dining can be found at By Kim Harding

THE DOG HOUSE

Where can you find a delicious, quick lunch for under $4 with great atmosphere? There is little gem located right here on Lady’s Island called The Dog House. If you aren’t paying attention, you might drive right past it, but it is worth slowing down a little and giving the food a try. The Dog House has a variety of fresh and unique hot dogs, all delicious and hard to choose from. You can get your meal to go, or you can enjoy the outdoor dining at one of their many picnic tables. Since Beaufort almost always has moderate weather, even this time of year, The Lunch Bunch opted for a pleasant outdoor lunch. Irene decided to give the “Big Dog” a try. This is made with quarter pound of Boar’s Head meat and is grilled, giving it a unique smoky flavor. She topped

it with sauerkraut and spicy mustard, giving it a little “German” flare. Irene gave her choice two thumbs up.

Buck ordered the “Fuhgeddaboudit.” Tony Soprano would approve of this Italian sausage dog topped with peppers and onions and served on a hoagy roll. At $5.53, this is the most expensive item on the menu. It’s a large portion, but Buck didn’t have any trouble finishing it off! I opted for the special of the day, which was a bacon and slaw dog with spicy mustard. I couldn’t think of anything tastier than adding a slice of thick, juicy bacon to a hot dog, and boy was I right. If you’ve never given that combo a try, now is the time. I highly recommend it. The Dog House is located at 381 Sea Island Parkway on Lady’s Island, not far from Lady’s Island Elementary School. They are open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; closed Sunday.

What’s behind the number of JCB No 69 By Celia Strong

Of course, as it happens with numbers, you have to have some degree of accuracy. That’s part of what makes them numbers and not something else, like just ideas. So this week, after we learn what we have to learn, we can get this week’s number. And, yes, that number gets us this week’s wine. So, off we go to France, to the Burgundy region, for some great bubbles. Hopefully, we all remember the distinction between sparkling wines and Champagne, besides a big price difference! Both of them are wines with bubbles, but Champagne is an AC wine region in northern France where they grow three grape varieties only, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, and make sparkling wines from them within the boundaries of their region. There are laws in France, and Europe, that do not allow wines from other grapes or other regions to be called Champagne. That makes Champagne a type of sparkling wine, but sparkling wines can’t be Champagne. Fortunately, most of the other wine regions of France do produce sparkling wines. From their regions’ grapes. And, usually, in the same second fermentation in-thebottle method as is used in Champagne. When you travel in France, it is a great opportunity to try the local sparkling wines. Here, we can find several, the ones from Burgundy always being some of the best. The region of Burgundy is located on the eastern side of France, south and east of Paris, running from north to south, from the town of Chablis to the top of the Rhône Valley. Their main grape varieties, allowed by the local AC laws, are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. So, right away, we can guess their sparkling wines might be pretty good. In Burgundy, their AC law lets (makes) them call their sparkling wines Crémant de Bourgogne. Originally, crémant wines had less pressure, carbonation. The name “crémant” means “creamy,” referring to the softer, creamier texture of these wines. They are still made by a using a second fermentation to create the wines’ bubbles. In the bottle. This

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

JCB are the initials of Jean-Claude Boisset, the founder of Boisset Family Estates in Burgundy, France. JCB No 69 is made from Pinot Noir grapes. second fermentation takes a shorter time, though, than what is used in Champagne. Less time means fewer bubbles. (And, helps to keep the cost of the process down, a bit, and the cost to you for the bottle, as well.) Historically, there was a long-lasting competition between Champagne and Burgundy way before they were official appellations. And, before Champagne made almost only sparkling wines. King Louis XIV’s doctors first told him he should drink only wines from Champagne. But, producers in Burgundy conspired with the King’s mistress. And, they got a new diagnosis. The King was told he should drink only the wines from Burgundy. Even after Louis died, there was a 100 year or so period when each of these regions called the wines from the other region “unhealthy.” The appellation, Crémant de Bourgogne, was created in 1975. The wines were made, though, as far back as the 19th century. Many of the best ones were made from what are now rated as Grand Cru vineyards. The appellation covers white and rosé sparkling wines, made with predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. “Bourgogne Mousseux” is another appellation for red sparkling wines. More than 13 million

“We’re big believers in small business.”

bottles of Crémant de Bourgone are made every year. Sweetness levels can range from Brut to Demi-Sec. White Crémant de Bourgogne wines can be either Blanc de Blancs (white wine from white grapes) or Blanc de Noirs ( white wine from red grapes), or, of course, a blend of both. Plain Crémant. Rosés are mostly Pinot Noir and maybe some Gamay, the red variety that makes Beaujolais from the southern end of the region. Because the Burgundy region is so long, from its north end to the south end, it runs about one hundred seventyfive miles, the terroir that Crémant wines come from can vary greatly. Wines from close to Chablis, in the north, come from a cooler climate and chalkier soils. They are lighter bodied with more delicacy and finesse. Those from further south, like near Lyons, are fuller bodied and heavier. Moving forward, we can now discuss our winery for this week’s wine. Boisset Family Estates. In 1961, Jean-Claude Boisset founded his negoçiant firm in Burgundy. He was 18 years old. His goal was to make authentic wines with minimal human intervention. And, the winemaker was as involved with the cellar as with the vines. He used native yeasts, never more than 30 percent new oak, and made wines that were concentrated, well-rounded and expressed their individual “terroir”

origins. Today, the son, Jean-Charles Boisset, runs the company. (Not that it matters to us for this week’s wine, but the Boisset company has expanded beyond the world of Burgundy. They own DeLoach Vineyards, Raymond Vineyards, Buena Vista Winery and several more California wineries. And, absolutely worth mentioning, JeanCharles is married to Gina Gallo, granddaughter to Ernest and Julio.). In Burgundy, now, the Boisset operation, under several labels, produces about 10 million bottles of crémant. Which means we can fall in love with this one and still be able to get plenty of it. As part of his expansion of his father’s company, Jean-Charles started another line of Burgundian wines. These are called JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset. JCB being his father’s initials, not his own. Each one of these wines, about a dozen or more, are named by a number. Each number having a specific significance. Our wine is “No 69.” 1969 was the year Jean-Charles was born. It was also the year men went to the moon. That means No 69 is an expression of freedom, unlimited possibilities, creativity, artistry and refinement. Quite a high bar for a wine to measure up to. But, relax. It does, and then some. JCB No 69 is a Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé. (The other sparkling wines from JCB have other numbers. See, accuracy.) Made completely from Pinot Noir grapes. Its color comes from the “saignée” method. (Related to the word for “blood,” this method gets color from the skins of the grapes. The color is bled into the juice.) The wine has raspberry notes with red currants. It is dry, crisp and clean and, yet, still gentle in your mouth. The whole point of a crémant. Remember, creamy? It pairs well with quiche, seafood, salmon. And, most importantly for us, turkey and ham dinners. A perfect match for the holidays. And not just with the dinners. This wine will be lovely all day, or all weekend, long. My first taste (bottle) was with a football game, if that gives you any ideas. There should be a lot of opportunities to drink lots of No 69. For $17.99. Enjoy.

Small businesses are the nation’s largest employer. Our commercial lenders know the local economy.

Drink to good health By Tracie Korol

Now that the hot, humid weather is behind us we may not be quite as conscientious when it comes to making sure our pets are supplied with fresh, clean water. Even in winter, in a dry heated house, a dog can become dehydrated if deprived of fresh water. I emphasize the word “fresh” for a reason. Try this experiment. Drink a glass of cold clean tap water, right from the tap. Observe. At the same time, fill another glass and leave it on the counter. Come back to it three or four days later. Most likely it has a faint film on the surface — dust, grease, pollen — and if you choose to drink it down, fuzz and all, you’ll notice it tastes musty and flat. Observe. This is probably the water your dog drinks every day. Water is the most important of all the nutrients. It plays a complex and critical role in the health of all mammals, constituting 55%-75% of the body mass of all warm-blooded creatures, 84% of a newborn puppy and 60% of an adult dog. Water bathes and fills every one of a dog’s billion cells. In fact, a dog can lose all of its fat and half of its muscle mass and survive, but just a 10% loss of body water can cause breakdown. Water lubricates a dog’s joints and muscles and cushions the spaces between individual cells. As the principle element of blood, it transports oxygen to all body tissues and helps fight infections by distributing

white blood cells produced by a dog’s immune system. Water provides an environment in which enzymes can digest food and convert it to energy for a dog’s survival. Dogs crave fresh water; and they like a clean bowl, too. It’s easy to simply refill the bowl, day after day, dumping more in when the level gets low. But really, when was the last time you ran the water bowl through the dishwasher? All kinds of stuff can grow in there especially if you have one of those dogs that dips his beard and rinses his mouth when he drinks leaving dirt, twigs and crumbs to float around the bowl. It’s a good idea to get multiple water bowls, bottomheavy stainless steel or ceramic, so you can switch them out when the dog water begins to look like bilge. A properly sized bowl is a good idea, too. An oversized bowl means your dog may only be able to drink water part way down. While it looks full, it’s not because he can’t get to it. Tall, narrow bowls are good for dogs with long ears like Bassets,

spaniels and beagles, reducing collateral wetness from drippy ears. Our Best Friends are messy, hitand-miss slurpers, so it can sometimes be hard to know just how much water they get in a day. Most dogs need about an ounce of fluids per pound of body weight daily, so a 10-pound dog needs a bit over a cup of clean fresh water daily. Hard playing, working or lactating dogs usually need more and puppies generally drink more than adult dogs. Dogs that eat only a dry kibble diet, with less than 5% moisture content, will naturally drink more, too. Plus, a dog will drink more when it is hot and conversely, more when it is cold and dry. Resist the temptation to add things to his water to make it more “drinkable”. There are all kinds of toppings and

Your dog doesn’t need “flavored” water any more than you do. If you just can’t stand the pressure of not indulging your dog, add a few ice cubes and yodel “cocktails!” just for fun. Your dog is drinking enough if you observe him lapping several times a day from his water bowl and if the water level goes down in the bowl over the day. If you’re aware of a sudden decrease or increase in water consumption, your dog may be ill. Excessive thirst and urinating large amounts may indicate diabetes, kidney failure or other endocrinological diseases. Time to call the vet if you notice drastic changes. Although all dogs are different, your dog is drinking enough if he urinates several times a day when you take him out.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources. The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
