Holiday gift guide

The holiday season is here again, a time for celebration, joy and giving. Although amongst the joy, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the hectic pace, onslaught of events and a long to-do list. However, with a little organization we can reclaim good cheer of the season by implementing these three tips.

Organize your Gift Purchasing: putting a little organization into your gift purchasing will help you keep track of what you bought and how much you spent as you pick up items here and there throughout the shopping season. First, make a list of all of your gift recipients and ideas of what you would like to purchase for them. As you buy items, write down what you purchased, who the gift is for and how much you spent on the item. if you are working within a budget, this will help you keep track of your overall spending. As you purchase gifts, store them in one location so you can find them when the holiday rolls around and gifts aren’t forgotten or left behind.

Declutter Before the Gifts: Take some time before the gifts arrive to declutter your spaces. Concentrate on those areas that you know will receive an influx of items like children’s rooms, closets, workshops and the like. Decluttering beforehand allows you to enjoy receiving gifts without getting overwhelmed by the mass of belongings after the holiday.

Celebrate on your Time: Holiday parties and events become a big part of the holiday season. Don’t feel as though you have to attend them all. only go to the events that you truly enjoy and that celebrate the holidays. if you feel as though you should throw a party of your own, consider changing the date to a less hectic time of year. everyone is inundated with parties in the winter. Be original and have a bash in the spring or summer when the attendance will be better and party-goers are more relaxed.

The holidays should be a time to celebrate with family and friends. By utilizing these organizing and time management techniques, you will reclaim the joy of the holidays once again!

Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and Marine Corps Community Services are pleased to announce Jim Keane of Woodbury, n.J., as the grand prize winner of the 2011 MCAS Beaufort Air Show Design Contest. Jim will receive a $500 cash prize, 10 tickets to the Air Show Flightline Chalet and recognition in the official air show program. His winning artwork will be printed on a commemorative T-shirt to publicize the 2011 Beaufort Air Show and used on the official programs, posters, direct mail and memorabilia.

The first runner-up was Brad Drawdy of Ridgeland, S.C., and Kirk Taylor of Bluffton, S.C., was chosen as the second runner-up.

“We were thrilled to receive so many high quality entries for the design contest. The decision was not easy, but ultimately, the elements of Mr. Keane’s winning design best epitomized the excitement and tradition of aviation and the MCAS Beaufort Air Show,” said ivey Liipfert, air show coordinator.

The top 10 entries were unveiled at 10 a.m. on December 1 at the former Lipsitz Department Store in downtown Beaufort. The Lipsitz family has generously donated the use of their display windows to support the 2011 Air Show and the entries will remain on

display through Jan. 15, 2011. The design contest called for artwork

that captured the excitement and drama of the air show’s sights and sounds and more than 40 entries were received by MCCS. in addition to the winning entries, the seven honorable mentions were submitted by:

• Emmitt Bufkin III, Port Royal, S.C.• Jessica Frazier, Beaufort, S.C.• Earnestine Norman, St. Helena

island, S.C.• Tom Robinette, Bluffton, S.C.• Sarah Stanley, Bluffton, S.C.• Jeremy Stricklin, Beaufort, S.C.• Charles Woods, Beaufort, S.C.General admission to the 2011 MCAS

Beaufort Air Show on April 30 and May 1 is free. Tickets for premium seating are on sale now at BeaufortAirShow.com.

Marine Corps Community Services provides Quality of Life programs for Marines, Sailors and families stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort and the Recruit Depot at parris island. These programs and activities are designed to support basic life needs and promote the physical, financial, mental and emotional well being of all active duty and retired Marines, Sailors and their families. More than 100 programs are provided through five MCCS Divisions.

The ihly Farm conservation easement, purchased jointly through the County’s Rural and Critical Land program and the Marine Corps Air Station protection program, covers a 63-acre parcel located on McCauley Creek north of MCAS Beaufort, east of US 21 and south of Whale Branch Creek in Beaufort County. The air station partnered with the County’s Rural and Critical Land program to acquire this property to conserve wilderness, wildlife habitat and rural open land.

protection of this property is important. ihly Farms falls within the air station’s AiCUZ noise Zones, area around MCAS Beaufort with an increased probability of noise complaints. The easement will ensure the land is used in a manner that is compatible with existing and future military flight operations.

The acquisition of ihly Farms by Beaufort County will not only provide access to deep water and recreation for those living nearby, but will also further preserve open land and prevent incompatible development near MCAS Beaufort. The Department of Defense and Headquarters Marine Corps provided matching dollars through the Readiness and environmental protection initiative program for this acquisition, bringing to date the total number of acres preserved in northern Beaufort County with matching dollars to 1,623 acres, said Alice Howard of MCAS Beaufort.

The ihly Farms property also adds inherent value to the biodiversity of northern Beaufort County. The ecological benefits of the ihly Farm

property provide a variety of habitat and water quality values to the region. Dominated by live oaks and many Southern pine species, the parcel harbors a myriad of species. The project is located at the southern extent of the ACe Basin — a public-private partnership that represents

the largest undeveloped coastal area on the Atlantic Coast. The mission of the ACe Basin project is to maintain the natural character of the basin by promoting prudent resource management on private lands while protecting strategic tracts through conservation agencies.

BEAUFORT COUNTY AND MCAS PARTNER TO

Dear Dr. Valerie Truesdale:My name is Scott Dennis. i am a local

businessman here in Beaufort. i grew up here, attended the Citadel where i played football and went back and got a master’s degree in education. i taught and coached at Middleton High School in Charleston County for four years. i was inducted into the Beaufort High School Hall of Fame primarily for my support of local sports programs for children. i have always felt that the lessons i learned through athletics helped me become a successful adult. i believe that helping our gifted athletes get into college, especially those who would not otherwise go, can improve our community.

With that said, i noticed that cutting the athletic budget by 5 percent was one of the cuts that may be necessary to help with the county budget shortfall. i do not think i know everything about schools and budgets, but i do know sports and would hate to see a 5 percent cut hurt the athletes here in Beaufort

County. i have a suggestion to try and compensate for that budget cut. i do not have all the specific details, but i know that several other counties in the state charge a participation each year for ALL athletes to play. each child who plans on playing a sport must pay a set fee within the first two weeks of school ($25 - $75). This is a one-time fee no matter how many sports a child plays. The fee applies to both middle and high school students. The money that is generated will help re-coup some of the money we may lose.

i am sure that there will be opponents to this idea, because little Johnny’s parents cannot afford a fee like this. Families would be able to prove their hardship like they would to receive free or reduced lunch. Schools could attach these students with local sponsors. Sponsors could include private families and businesses. For example, Johnny Doe cannot afford the fee. each school can work with their booster club to

get him a family or business sponsor. in return, Johnny Doe writes a very nice thank you letter and attaches his schedule of games as well as invites the sponsor to come watch him play and meet him. This would help connect the community with our schools. The school booster club in some cases may be able to sponsor some kids. i know the economy is bad, but a small fee should not stop a kid from playing.

once again i do not know how much 5 percent will take away from us, but we can probably determine how many athletes are in the county’s high and middle levels sports programs, and then put an amount to offset any loss.

i do not envy the tough decisions you and the school board must make during this difficult time. i appreciate the work you do on behalf on our county’s children. i applaud you for allowing the community to be part of this conversation.

For Lady’s island, the decade of the 1990s can best be summarized by one word — growth. From 1990 to 2000, Lady’s island saw an 85 percent increase in its population, making it the second fastest growing area in Beaufort County (Bluffton was number one). This growth (more than 4,000 residents) was the equivalent of Lady’s island gaining a new resident every single day for 10 years.

To cope with the growth and provide the necessary infrastructure required tripling the electrical capacity, building two new schools, widening roads, adding fire and emergency medical stations and developing zoning regulations. The 90s saw the adoption of the Beaufort County Comprehensive plan, a supporting Zoning and Developments Standards ordinance and establishment of Lady‘s island as a community preservation area.

in addition to the challenges of obtaining adequate infrastructure and development of appropriate zoning was the problem of annexation by the city of Beaufort. in the 80s, the Lady’s island Business professionals Association (LiBpA) led the fight to prevent annexation. in the 90s the challenge was to find ways to minimize

the negative effects of annexation in general and specifically the impact of a practice called “zoning shopping.”

During the 90’s annexation by the city of Beaufort was the subject of many lawsuits, disputes, hard feelings and serious consideration as to the merits of Lady’s island becoming an incorporated town.

The final solution was for the county and the city to work together for the benefit of all the residents. The result of this cooperation is the northern Regional plan which is a form of “rule book” as to how local governments will work together to guide growth north of the Broad River. LiBpA was a key player in this process which has occurred over a period of three years.

Throughout the 90s LiBpA worked to ensure that Lady’s island had a voice at the many meetings, hearings and similar proceedings at which decisions were made that affected our island. The next decade will see a continued increase in the population of Lady’s island and also an increase in the number of problems being faced by our community. LiBpA has played a key role in the development of our community and will play a similar role in the future.

Beaufort County Fire Chiefs are using Christmas wreaths to remind citizens to think of safety during this winter-holiday season, and would like to offer some simple tips to follow.

“The holiday season is joyous but also a hectic time of the year, and the focus is often on everything but safety, so there is some danger out there,” stated county fire officials.

Firefighters offer these simple safety tips to keep your family safe this holiday season:

• “If it has heat – then 3 feet!” ensure heaters, candles, and other heat generating devices are 3 feet from combustibles.

• Utilize electric candles instead of open flame.

• Limit light strings to no more than 3 strands of lights.

• Use power strip with circuit breakers instead of extension cords.

• Ensure all decorations are made of fire resistive material.

• Ensure live trees are watered and treated with a fire resistive spray.

• Check all smoke detectors in your home, and it’s a good idea to have a smoke detector in the same room as your Christmas tree.

• Make sure your holiday decorations do not block exits and your family has practiced your home escape plan, and that there are two ways to escape each

room in your home and two ways to get to children.

To remind citizens of the fire dangers and the need for vigilance during this season, a green wreath will be placed at various fire stations throughout the county, and fire chiefs want citizens to help keep those wreaths green. When a fire department responds to a fire, a green light on the wreath will be replaced with a red light.

“A fire is devastating anytime of the year, but particularity more so during the holiday season,” stated county fire officials. “Fires start for a reason, they are not accidents, and almost always could have been easily prevented.”

Recently it occurred to me that if something is told to you over and over again, regardless of its relevance and/or truth, soon it makes its way into your belief system. That is absolutely terrifying when i think about the repetitive statements that ambush our world daily.

in the world of social media, internet, texting and the rest of the arsenal of constant communication, not only am i exposed to ridiculous statements, i am reminded of them every 13 seconds.

This phenomenon is not reserved for the credit of technology; technology just makes it easier to spread than the common cold. With incredible detail i remember proudly explaining to my fifth grade sociology class that ichabod Crane (the headless horseman from “Sleepy Hollow”) was most definitely my great uncle who, although never seen, rested comfortably in my attic. i spoke with fierce conviction, clarity, and am quite certain this may have effected the turn out of my future slumber parties. it was true. i knew it to be true because my Daddy always told me about Uncle ichabod every time i felt the need to wonder into the great unknown of our attic. i do recall wondering how my mysterious and unusually quiet uncle (with no head) managed to get to the bathroom, eat dinner, and brush his teeth; however, none of that really mattered. Daddy said it, so it was true.

Mrs. Diamond, my fifth grade teacher, never quite looked at me the same after my family tree project, but that was just because she was afraid

of Uncle ichabod. Daddy said he got a bad rap. Apparently having no head at the age of 150 is frowned upon.

Some kids have an elf on a Shelf, i had Uncle in an Attic. Completely normal.

My willingness to believe something based solely on the person speaking (texting,

tweeting, video chatting, reporting, etc.) has slightly changed over the years. i am afraid that i am in the minority. i can’t remember the last time i walked into a coffee shop and saw someone reading an actual book. i doubt most kids even know what “look it up in the encyclopedia” even means. Google has taken the place of dictionaries, libraries, and — in the most extreme situations — conversation.

Facebook “experts” are everywhere, speaking on every subject, pontificating for attention with no accountability. Twitter is the new flash card, and texting the new gossip. There is no Mrs. Diamond fact-checking or looking over her reading glasses reminding you that honesty is the best policy.

So next time you are online and see a status update, a tweet, a supposed “news” headline, maybe you should call your fifth grade teacher. Guard your belief system and filter the fluff, even with your dad. After all, it only took me 14 years to realize that i could explore my attic if for no other reason that there is no way a headless man would be able to tell on me.

Some kids have an ‘Elf on a Shelf,’ I had ‘Uncle in an Attic’

Manorhouse Builders of South Carolina, a family owned business that was founded in Hagerstown, Md., recently purchased the 123 acre property which in the past formed the Coosaw River Estates subdivision and has announced their intention to begin development of the community. The original plan authorized the construction of 190 homes, which under the new plan will see 96 homes in phase one and 94 homes in the second phase. This development, which is located in the Marsh Hawk community off of Springfield Road on Lady’s Island, will now be called Somerset Point after Henry Somerset, the second Duke of Beaufort.

The development of this property, especially the offering of homes in an affordable range for young families, is in keeping with the long range plans for the Lady’s Island community. The Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association wishes the company every success in the development of Sommerset Point.

It is dangerous to mix investing with entertainment. The classic example is thinking that a TV or radio per-sonality can provide general financial information and you act on it without first taking the time to figure out if it applies to your particular situation.

The financial press, personal finance bloggers and best-selling authors are all sources of information. But don’t confuse information with the real work of figuring out how it applies to your very unique situation. As good as many of them are at providing a filter for information, and even providing general rules of thumb, you are the only one who can figure out how it applies to your life.

The reason is simple: planning for your financial fu-ture is personal. It has to be. A good plan will be unique to your situation, and what is right for your situation may be a disaster for your neighbor. So read as much as you want, but then make sure you spend the time to figure out how it applies to you before you make impor-tant decisions about your life savings.

That is where we can help. Let’s meet so you can get a second opinion.

Brochures, newsletters, outdoor, websites, exotic packaging: They all have a place in your selling mix. That’s fine. And in today’s electronic communications age with e-mail, fax, blogs, social media etc., it’s extremely easy for both small and medium sized companies to start relying on non-traditional forms of selling.

But make sure someone in your organization has been appointed to sell.

you’ve heard of the designated driver. Here’s one better: The designated salesperson. even a hot gene-splicing laboratory needs a salesperson. And all the employees need to know who that person is. you can have a sizzling company, an exciting product or service, but without that designated, in the flesh salesperson to answer the phone and communicate the appropriate information, persuading your customers to act, your business will eventually wither and die. Here is a classic death-rattle scenario:

Jackie, the owner of Jackie’s Gym has a business degree from Smallville Community College. She is a capable business person. She can analyze a profit and loss statement like no one else. Her numbers are small but they’re in check. Her bookkeeper, Lois, does a great job meeting payroll, paying the taxes and making sure all birthday parties go off without a hitch. (We all would like to have a Lois.)

Jackie’s husband peter, now retired, runs errands, dumps the trash and is the in-house Mr. Fixit. Jackie’s daughter is teaching Zumba classes along with four other people. The phone rings. it’s a prospective customer who wants rates

and information for the morning classes. He is immediately put on hold. A voice calls out, “Hey! it’s somebody wanting prices. Could someone please get it?” over two minutes have passed. The customer is still on hold. Blink, blink, blink. everyone in the office is busy doing his or her own thing. everyone involved thinks someone else has fielded the call. Actually, no one has. The hold light goes out. A signal that the business, too, could be going out. no designated salesperson.

if you are a manager or owner of a business, it is absolutely essential for you to designate an individual within your organization whose function it is to take all incoming sales calls. That individual must have a working knowledge of the features and benefits of your business, the answers to possible customer objections and know how to close a sale.

Without first spending any money on advertising, public relations, websites, brochures, or networking, a designated salesperson can turn a fledgling business around quicker than you can say, “How may i help you?”

Through Dec. 14, shoppers at the JCpenney at Cross Creek Mall are invited to round up their holiday purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to yMCA of Beaufort County to support quality after school programs in their community.

The y has partnered with the local JCpenney to provide children in need with access to life-enriching after school programs that foster social skills, provide opportunities to be physically active and achieve academic success in school.

“The availability of affordable after

school programs continues to be a vital need for many parents and caregivers in our community,” said Kaylin Caron, childcare director. “Support for JCpenney’s ‘Round-up’ campaign will help us enhance our efforts to impact the lives of as many children as possible

with meaningful, quality programs.” The yMCA provides students

with homework assistance, tutoring, swimming, aerobics classes, and rock-wall climbing, to name a few activities.

Martin Landscape, LLC. is growing! Shannon Lindsay has recently joined the ranks of Martin Landscape as a partner. Wade Martin, president and founder of Martin Landscape, LLC stated that “Shannon is a long-time Beaufort resident and South Carolina native who brings a vast knowledge of the landscape industry to our company. prior to joining us, his 30-year professional career has allowed him the opportunity to manage landscape construction projects ranging from the development of large, luxury resorts to homes, schools, and businesses. His knowledge of irrigation and installation combined with his passion for the industry has already proven this transition will be of significant benefit to both our clients and our staff.” Shannon and his wife, Anne, have two boys and live on Lady’s island.

JOCO Construction to build Lady’s Island Park. JoCo Construction Company, with its headquarters on Lady’s island, was recently awarded a $514,800 contract by Beaufort County to design and build the first phase of a Lady’s island park on Springfield Road. eight firms submitted bids on the project with proposed cost ranging from a high of $829,018 to the winning bid by JoCo. The first phase will include construction of a multi-purpose ball field, signs, fencing, security gates, a pavilion with picnic tables, a grill, playground equipment installation, irrigation system and associated electrical work. The project is anticipated to be completed in the first part of 2011.

Lady’s Island, annexation and LIBPA. The first threat of annexation of property on Lady’s island by the city of Beaufort occurred in 1985 when the owner of the property near the Lady’s island marina sought to sell his property to a developer who wanted to build a five-story hotel on the site. LiBpA opposed the annexation and the developer threatened LiBpA with a lawsuit. LiBpA conducted a community fund drive, hired a lawyer and fought the annexation in court. After a great deal of legal maneuvering as to whether LiBpA, as an organization, had legal

standing in such cases, the judge ruled that the annexation was legal. As a result of this ruling in 1987 the first annexation of property on Lady’s island by the City of Beaufort occurred. During the

subsequent years the City of Beaufort would annex additional property on Lady’s island and LiBpA would work with the City to develop similar zoning regulations in an attempt to reduce the temptation for “zoning shopping”.

A special thanks to the Gray family. The newly renovated commercial shopping area adjacent to Steamers on Sea island parkway adds to the overall appearance of the Village Center. in addition to simply making the area look better the renovation project demonstrates the faith of the Richard Gray family in the commercial viability of Lady’s island. The recently renovated 10,000-square-foot building in which Grayco Hardware was formerly located is now the new home for a Dollar General Store.

Thank you to Mr. Jim Bequette. Congratulations to Mr. Bill evans on his election as Lady’s island (District 7) new representative on the Beaufort County School Board. We also extend our appreciation to Mr. Robert White for keeping the race about the issues. We especially want to thank Mr. Jim Bequette for his service on the school board over the past 4 years. These have been 4 very challenging years which included making tough decisions on controversial subjects such as the hiring of a new school superintendent, conducting and winning a referendum to finance the construction of new schools to relieve overcrowding, the construction of those school, establishing a standard school year, requiring uniforms for students, redistricting the attendance zones, establishing Lady’s island intermediate and Middle School to relieve the crowding of elementary schools on the island and always demanding accountability for every penny of tax payer’s money spent by

the school district. Today, student achievement in Beaufort County is improving and please know how very much we on Lady’s island appreciate your contribution to that improvement. please accept our best wishes for “life after the school board” and thank you for caring for the children of Beaufort County and especially those of Lady’s island which you represented.

Beaufort Air Conditioning & Heating relocates. over the past few years those of us who travel Sams point Road have noticed the small pink building near the Miller Road intersection. it is not that we don’t like the color pink but the recently painted building with its green color does blend a bit better with the rest of the area. The change of color came with a change of ownership when Mr. John Haynie, LiBpA member and owner of Beaufort Air Conditioning & Heating, recently purchased the property and moved his business from its previous location on Rue Du Bois Drive into the newly renovated building.

Clearing of power line right away on Brickyard Point. Thanks to Mr. Tommy Bennett of SCe&G we, on Lady’s island, have been kept up to date on the project to build a connecting loop of power lines that circle the City of Beaufort and comes on to Lady’s island at two points – beside the McTeer Bridge and at the Waterford Cove Apartments on Colony Garden Road. This electrical loop will significantly increase the amount of electricity (46,000 volts to 115,000 volts) available to Lady’s island and allow power to be rerouted in the event of a disaster. The lines which bring this increase in electrical capacity require taller poles and more intense clearing of the right of way. it should be noted that over the past few months SCe&G purchased the existing right of way for this project. presently under construction is the portion of this high voltage line which comes under the Beaufort River arriving near the Waterford Cove Apartments and then up Brickyard point Road to the power station on Sams point Road where it is distributed to various parts of the island. As to the necessity of clear

cutting the right of way, we will accept the assurance of SCe&G that it is necessary and extend our appreciation for the increased electrical capacity for our island. it is anticipated that this is the last major upgrade of the power lines that will be necessary for many years to come. Just as a matter of information when Sams point Road was being widened the cost to bury lines of this type was estimated to fall in the range of $1 million per mile.

Meet the new President of LIBPA. Jennifer Bihl was recently elected to serve as the 2011 president of the Lady’s island Business and professional Association. Ms. Bihl is a graduate of Clemson University with a Bachelors of Science and Master’s Degree in Civil engineering and is a registered engineer in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. She is a project engineer specializing in traffic engineering and transportation planning with the local branch of Kimley – Horn & Associates, inc. She and her husband reside in the Coosaw point community on Lady’s island. Congratulations Ms. Bihl!

Lady’s Island voter turnout in the recent election. in the recent general election of the 7,764 registered voters on Lady’s island 3,516 turned out to cast their ballots for a voting rate of 45.2%. The overall Beaufort County percentage of registered voters actually casting a ballot was 53.7 percent. in the 2006 general election, 57 percent of Lady’s island registered voters cast a ballot.

The good news would appear to be that in the last four years Lady’s island has gained an additional 1,553 registered voters. The less than good news would appear to be a slight decrease in the number of registered voters who showed up at the polls.

Welcome Dollar General. The new Dollar General Store located next to Steamer’s Restaurant is a positive addition to our community. offering a wide variety of reasonable priced products the new store increases the number and types of items which Lady’s island residents can obtain without leaving the island.

Lady’s Island notes

The Beaufort youth orchestra, under the direction of founder and conductor Fred Devyatkin, recently opened its 2010-2011 season with two concerts north of the Broad River. The 44-student group was warmly received by Fripp Friends of Music on Sunday, nov. 14.

Fripp Friends of Music has been a longtime supporter of music for young people in our area. each year they have generously provided money to the orchestra’s student scholarship fund.

The Beaufort youth orchestra was back on stage at St. peter’s Catholic Church on Tuesday, nov. 16. The program showcased their talents in a wide range of classical and popular music, including the final movement of the Mendelssohn “Reformation” Symphony, selections from the Broadway musical “Fame” and a “Tribute To Michael Jackson.”

Maestro Devyatkin thanked the large and enthusiastic audiences for their support of all the young musicians. He

noted that being a successful student requires considerable family effort to get the young folks to rehearsal, schedule private lessons, and to provide positive encouragement in their progress.

Making its debut this season is the newly formed First orchestra under the direction of Beaufort Symphony violist, Ami Rabinowitz. This group is open to all beginning string players. For more information about becoming involved, please call 843-476-1310.

The Beaufort youth orchestra is a

full symphonic group attracting skilled young string, brass, woodwind and percussion players from throughout the Lowcountry. The orchestra will hold auditions for new members on Thursday, Jan. 6. All public, private, and homeschooled youth in middle or high school are invited to try out. please contact parent liaisons, Ron and Greta Maddox at 843-476-1310 for information. Rehearsals are held weekly at the Beaufort High School band room from 6:30 – 9 p.m.

The Beaufort Three-Century project is presenting a special local preview of the new, yet-to-be-released documentary film, “Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears” on Saturday, December 11. There will be matinee and evening screenings, receptions and a post-preview party as a fundraiser for the Beaufort Three-Century project.

“We are delighted that director Mike Todd and producer Geseth Garcia are traveling from england to bring this important film to Beaufort as a local preview before it is publicly released at film festivals and to broadcast media in 2011. We are especially appreciative that they wanted it to be part of the Beaufort Three-Century project,” said, Deborah Johnson, B3C project coordinator.

it was filmed in philadelphia, London and Beaufort with local residents in the film including the late Rebecca Frazier Hall, the late Abraham Brown Jr., Gertrude Brown, Kenneth Singleton, Queen Quet, and others. Richard Brooks served as the logistics coordinator. “This powerful film is a wonderful human interest story, local history story, and international sports story,” said Johnson.

THE FILM“Who has really witnessed the

remarkable life of Smokin’ Joe Frazier, one the greatest athletes of the 20th Century? His first fight with Muhammad Ali was akin to the moon landing in its global reach but who has seen this great boxer and complex man beyond the shadow of his greatest rival?

“Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears” is a feature documentary film that shows the real Joe Frazier for the first time, as he comes to terms with the past and finds forgiveness for a man he once called a friend. it is the story of a man loved by his son, a son who dreams of preserving his father’s legacy, and of a community, for whom Joe’s gym has been a sanctuary for the last three decades.” -www.riverhorsetv.com. This film is due for release in 2011.

JOE FRAzIERSmokin’ Joe Frazier was born Joseph

William Frazier in Beaufort, South

Carolina on January 12, 1944. He is considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all times. Frazier left Beaufort at the age of 16 and moved first to new york and then philadelphia escaping the poverty and segregation of the South to pursue his dream to box. He won the Gold Medal in the heavy-weight division at the 1964 Summer olympics in Tokyo. He turned pro and went on to hold the heavyweight title from 1970 to 1973, defeating Muhammad Ali in the “Fight of the Century” in 1971. After retiring, he opened Joe Frazier’s Gym in one of philadelphia’s troubled neighborhoods to train urban youth. Governor Mark Sanford awarded Frazier the state’s highest civilian honor, the order of the palmetto, on September 27. Frazier visits Beaufort several times a year and family members still live in Laurel Bay, some on the same 10 acres where he grew up.

Tony Makar knows the restaurant business. if you’re from the Lowcountry and have dined in Charleston, you’re probably familiar with Shem Creek Bar and Grill and Café 99. And, if you’re from Columbia, you’re definitely familiar with Harper’s Restaurant in Five points. Tony has worked at them all. He’s been a manager, chef, server …you name it, he’s done it. But it’s in his blood. His family owned a restaurant called Makar’s Tavern. Tony remembers flipping burgers at age 12. That experience led him to his tenure in the food and beverage business.

As anyone in bood and beverage knows, the restaurant business is half food and half people management. When Tony tired of F&B, he realized he had a knack for managing people. So, he decided to go back to school to study healthcare at MUSC, which eventually led him to a career as a nursing home administrator. Tony worked in this capacity for several years when he realized he missed cooking.

He wanted to combine his chef experience with his knowledge of managing an aging population. initially, he wanted to create a business that would cater to retirees. He wanted to cook good, healthy meals and deliver his product to his customers for a hassle-free, no-fuss experience.

So that’s how his business started. Tony Makar now owns Gourmet on Wheels, a meal delivery service that creates large entrees with low/no sea salt, sugar substitutes and fresh herbs for a healthy lifestyle. you can go online, place your order on Fridays, and five meals will be delivered to your door on Tuesdays for a low price and super easy convenience.

Makar’s business has grown to include many more people than the retired population. people of all ages and walks of life benefit from Tony’s cooking, including me. i order from Tony once a week, and my amazing meals come prepared to reheat. i pick the kids up from school, let them play while i work, then microwave the meals for 3-5 minutes for an absolutely delicious gourmet meal. And the best part? no clean up!

This is great for single moms, and it’s also terrific for bachelors. Are you looking for something to do for that friend who just had a baby? or would you like to console someone who’s just lost someone close to them? or do you want to help a loved one who’s been ill and unable to cook for him or herself? This is the best gift idea. it’s inexpensive and very thoughtful.

it’s also a great gift for the holiday season. And, it’s

always nice to give gifts that keep on giving, like food. Do you have a large group coming for Christmas? i would imagine your top concern is Christmas eve or Christmas Day dinner. Well, what about the other days your company is visiting? Again, Gourmet on Wheels is the perfect solution for busy hosts.

each meal feeds two people easily. My two girls and i eat each meal, no problem. And Tony makes just about everything you can imagine. From shrimp enchiladas to mom’s meatloaf to baked ziti to smoked Gouda stone ground grits and tasso ham gravy, he makes a darn good meal.

Tony and his mom cook at Lady’s island Country Club on Mondays for Tuesday deliveries. At present, Tony is preparing healthy meals for Beaufort Academy and is also providing meals at the Festival of Trees event. in addition, Tony travels to local farmers markets for fresh ingredients.

if you know Tony Makar at all, you’re familiar with his outgoing, friendly demeanor. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t have to try, everyone just likes him. And his wife, Anna, is just the same. This is a family that is committed to each other first, career second. What is spectacular is the fact that they’ve established a business that uses all the family’s good assets to deliver a great product for the community. And, they love doing it. Tony even has a nephew in Charleston who helps with catering when needed.

The family has established a solid foundation for a business ready to grow exponentially. Go to www.beaufortscmealdelivery.com and take a look at all of Tony’s meals. once you start, you’ll be hooked.

As part of Riverview Charter School’s commitment to environmental studies and service learning, the school teamed with the city of Beaufort parks Department to commemorate Arbor Day on December 1.

Riverview’s first and second grade students performed the musical “nuts,” a fun-filled show with talking acorns, dancing trees, rapping squirrels and a lot of nutty characters who learn all about the circle of life. The show was performed at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront park pavilion.

After the performance, the students watched a tree pruning demonstration by preservation Tree Care and helped the city of Beaufort parks Department plant five new trees at the park on the corner of prince and West streets in honor of our national holiday.

School News

What do the names patrick Ferri, Madeline Griffith, and Katie Kindwall all have in common? Well, apart from being students at Beaufort Academy, this week they’re interning at The island news. As part of Beaufort Academy’s new interim program, these students elected to work closely with all levels of the newspaper to gain experience in the field of journalism, and all of its related life lessons.

it’s easy to wonder what interns could be doing for this paper. you may think of the nameless unpaid secretaries that fill large corporate offices, shuffling papers, getting coffee and removing staples. Well, in this case that couldn’t be farther from the truth. These students are engaged in the challenging and fulfilling tasks that make up the daily workings of the paper, from helping with deliveries, to performing interviews and even writing articles.

The students working with the paper are expected to accomplish these task as any student at Beaufort Academy

is expected to: with outstanding quality of work and respect for their opportunities. it says a lot that these young men and women, well, young man and women have been trusted with the vital inner working of this paper.

“i am so excited to have been presented with this unique and exciting time!” said junior Madeline Griffith. “The best part is that it has helped me get a good idea of what field i would to major in college.”

Katie Kindwall, another junior and Beaufort Academy’s resident student editor of the school paper, also seems pleased with the opportunity to work with the paper. “i expected to sit in a desk and write on the subject they handed me and then have it edited. However, Madeline and i have done nothing of the sort, we’ve interviewed and acted as actual newspaper reporters gathering information and interviewing.”

As for senior patrick Ferri? He couldn’t be more pleased with his internship. He got to write this article after all.

The Spirit of Christmas

This month seems to bring out the best in all of us, as one reads or hears about all the ‘little kindnesses’ and thoughtful giving going on around town. one i heard about recently should get the Good Samaritan award of the week. Seems big-hearted Becky Trask was in church singing a hymn and turned to LouAnn Spada (seen at left) next to her at the end of the song and said with a smile, “Dear, you are going to have to sing louder, i can’t hear you.” To which Lou Ann responded, “i would love to, but i can’t see the print on the page.” (LouAnn had recently lost her job of 13 years at the Butterfly Shop which is closing on Bay Street.) To this Becky replied, “Well you will have glasses tomorrow.” And sure enough said LouAnn, “i got a call from Becky early the next A.M. telling me i had an appointment that morning at 10:30 with her friend Ricky Akers, and lo and behold, a few hours later i had a beautiful new pair of glasses and could read again for the first time in months and months! Becky and Neal gave me a real Christmas miracle!” said LouAnn, tears coming to her eyes. “And Ricky Akers and all the folks at his office were just wonderful to me! i love my new glasses!” LouAnn does baby sitting and just about anything else you might need if you have a job in mind. She can be reached at the First presbyterian church where she is a Deacon.

The much loved and fun Charlie Peyton recently was honored for his 90th birthday at the Sanford Family’s Annual BBQ and oyster Roast at Coosaw. Charlie, a former exxon head, is the husband of peggy Sanford peyton,

mother of Governor Mark Sanford. Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Across town, Harriet Keyserling is slowly recovering in the iCU from multiple complications due to a knee replacement operation. i’m sure prayers for her speedy recovery will be greatly appreciated by anxious family members in town including her son Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling. Billy decided to ride in the Christmas parade even though he was very concerned about his mother’s sudden illness. “i knew she would be upset if i did not fulfill my civic duty as mayor. Her commitment to civil service for her constituency was always one of her very top priorities while she was a legislator.”

in a Christmas gift to the citizens of Beaufort, Open Land Trust designated the newly saved ‘Green’ on the point the Elizabeth Crofut Waterhouse Square in honor of her memory and The Gray family in a ceremony this week with a bronze plaque. There was also a special tree planting and plaque placed in honor of Dr. John and Molly Gray who also contributed so much in the saving of the Green for future generations to enjoy as unbuilt open space. Molly Gray requested to name the park after her grandmother, elizabeth Crofut Waterhouse, who owned the property and kept it in the family. Marguerite Broz (elizabeth Crofut Waterhouse’s daughter and Molly’s aunt) willed it to Molly when she passed. Many many thanks to this fine family and all the people whose generous contributions helped make this possible.

It’s a wonderful time to drive around at night and see all the decorations and lights. I especially love what the cuthbert House on Bay Street did. with their lighted tree on the second floor balcony. It’s worth the drive by after dark to put you instantly in the Christmas Spirit. And by the way, kudos to all the folks at the greenery for doing such a great job making the park and everywhere look so beautifully ‘Christmasy’

this year for all the events, and a special thank you to the city workers who put up all the ‘candy cane’ lights on the streetlights downtown (and take them back down) usually on some of the coldest nights of the year. You all make Christmas magic happen here!

TRIPS: The new york Designer Carmen Marc Valvo has donated a “Dressed to perfection” package. Two lucky winners will receive a copy of his new book being published by Rizzoli, two tickets to his Spring runway show held

in new york City in September and two Couture dresses chosen in Carmen’s new york Showroom after the show while sipping cocktails. Value: priceless.

ART: Charleston Street Scene donated by Louis Bruce.SPORTS: Deer hunt for Two at Hollow Hunt Club including overnight, dinner.

TREATMENTS: A Braizilian Blow out, Cut and products donated by Limelight SalonFASHION: Cashmere and mink trimed cape donated by Jerry Sorbara Furs, new york City.

Open Land Trust was also involved in the planting of five new street side trees on prince Street between Scott and Charles streets (see photo below) along with very hard working volunteers from the Old Commons Neighborhood Association. The city of Beaufort employees also helped greatly in this much needed beautification effort in a commemoration of Arbor Day. Let’s hope more neighborhood groups get involved and this becomes an ongoing citywide effort to continuously beautify our streets and highways. Did you know that at one time Beaufort was renowned for its beautiful ‘palm-lined boulevard’ entrance into town? (on the present Highway 21 from K-Mart out). They even printed post cards with the scene! Maybe those days of ‘tree glory’ will someday return.

Suzara’s has moved! Susan zara’s popular bakery, with its deservedly renowned coconut cake, has moved from next door to Talbots on Boundary Street to a larger space across the street and just behind Talbots. The new space has a nice dine-in area with vintage tables and chairs and has added a coffee bar to go with all the delicious pastries along with an expanded roster of edibles. plus she’s now serving lunch, which is already popular. (Tuesday’s special was chicken stew and homemade biscuits along with two quiches.) She’s also adding pate’s, cheeses, baguettes, and other to-go items and soon will add wine. Congrats on the expanded space Susan!

Showcasing silent auction items for the fundraiser on February 12, 2011

every once in awhile you come across a new wine that’s really different from all the others you’ve tasted, one that’s really good in its category, has a cute label, costs right, and is fun to drink. i think i did that this week. of course this won’t be the perfect wine for all occasions or for all drinkers, no wine ever is or can be. But, for those of us who like to keep moving on and trying new wines, and don’t like the same style of wine every day, this find could just be a new treasure.

This is a red wine wine from Spain made from 100 percent Tempranillo. it is the Spanish variety that is used to make red Riojas — the best known of Spain’s wine regions. These wines are known for their mellow smoothness with plum and dark cherry flavors, hints of smoke and mild tannins. A good Rioja can come to the table and go well with seafood, poultry and red meats all at the same time. (no small feat when you think about it!) Having found its home in Rioja, though, this variety has moved around Spain to other regions where it stays true to itself but also shows signs of different soils. one of my all-time favorites comes from a region called “Cigales” that’s close to Rioja but the wine is just different enough to attract its own set of fans — a bit fuller bodied

with a bit more tannin for structure. (it’s called Museum if you want to try it too!) i tend to really like Tempranillos because they are a different set of flavors and the textures, have mild tannins, and are very, very enticing.

our new find for this week is a Tempranillo from the middle of Spain, around the city of Madrid — to be precise the Arganda district with the Do of Vinos de Madrid. ( Just so you know, “Do” is the initials for the Spanish wine laws. Like other european wine laws, the Do controls where and how grapes are grown and what the wines are called.) it’s interesting to note that even though the outskirts of Madrid are full of old Tempranillo vines, most Spaniards don’t know that Madrid makes wine. And, like i mentioned earlier, the label is really cute. in fact, i might have to start worrying about how

much i’m liking some of these labels lately.

Anyhow, i tasted this wine with a group recently in Charleston. As a group, they were young, mostly, still learning about wine (though aren’t we all) and still discovering the huge variety of styles of wine and just starting to realize that everyone doesn’t like the same style and that they themselves can even like more than one style. it’s really fun watching people like this taste because they’re very verbal about what they taste and feel in their mouths, and very flexible in their responses. So flexible actually that each sip of a new wine can change their opinion of it.

The aromas of this wine are light and very fruity. First comments from the tasters were not favorable because it didn’t smell like their favorite cabernets. Second sniffs of their glasses changed that to “really it smells pretty good.” First sips were just the same — comments of it’s too light went around our table. Then, oopsy, came the “really its pretty good,” “it’s very pleasant,” “it’s nice and smooth,” “i have friends who would like this” and more. in all fairness, this was the first Tempranillo i have tasted with this group. not the first Tempranillo for some of them, but our first together. if

nothing else, here is one good lesson for anyone tasting a new wine: First sniff and first sip don’t tell us everything. Final decision was this was a pretty nice wine, maybe not what they would drink all the time, but worth remembering for when they did feel like it.

So what is this Spanish wine? Flaco. nice simple name. According sources it means “dude.” But, nothing is easy (except sipping the wine) because other sources have told me it’s a negative term for “skinny.” either way it’s a pretty easy name to remember. Bodegas Flaco, the producer, describes this wine as having luscious fruit and soft texture “for the price of a song.” So nicely priced they even recommend it for making Sangria, right on the back label. i’m not sure i’d go that far, but it does make you think. Last night i was really struck by the cherry flavors, red and dark cherries, bits of candy (like those raspberry filled red things we had as kids) and, way back in the finish a hint of sweet licorice. overall, i found the aromas, flavors and textures very very nice — easy to get at, easy to sip, and easy for you to try at $6.99 a bottle. if that isn’t a Christmas present, what is? promise you’ll try some Tempranillos, at a range of prices. i’ve never found one i didn’t like! enjoy.

The Lunch Bunch traveled to Rosie o’Gradys in Beaufort Town Center, next to K-Mart this week. We were pleasantly surprised and treated to a mountain of great food. owned and operated by Mike pressley, the irish pub and restaurant has all you need to enjoy a fun dining experience. With televisions on every wall, it’s the perfect location to watch a Saturday or Sunday afternoon football game. And, it’s got all the mouth-watering appetizers and sandwiches you love with a few hidden treasures you have to try as well.

Mike generously brought out a few samplers to munch on while we waited for our entrees. We tasted the irish Drunken Shrimp boiled in Guiness Beer and served with “yum yum” Sauce, Rosie o’Buffalo Shrimp rolled in Scampi Hot Sauce and Garlic, and the Breaded Mushroom Basket served with an incredible Horsy Sauce! oK, the irish Drunken Shrimp are definitely a must-have. not only are the shrimp delectable, but the sauce that comes with the shrimp is the most amazing dipping sauce you’ve ever put in your mouth. i guess that’s why they named it, “yum yum.” Mike can’t reveal the secret

ingredients of this spicy sauce, you’ll have to go try it for yourself!

The menu is full of old favorites and new creations. Said to have the best wings in town, Rosie o’Gradys offers a variety of Rosie o’Wings, including Jamaican Jerk, Teriyaki Glaze, Jim Beam BBQ, Frank’s Hot Wings, Szechwan, orange Wasabi, Lemon pepper, Garlic Butter, Honey Mustard and Habanera. Kim got Frank’s Hot Wing’s, a bar favorite, and she loved them.

elizabeth and April were in burger moods and opted for the Beaufort Burger with Jalapeños, Swiss and Bacon and Rosie o’Sliders, respectively. The Black Angus burgers were mighty tasty, according to the girls. But neither had the courage to try the signature burger, the Samuel L. Jackson Chili Cheeseburger from Hell. next time girls, next time!

pamela ordered the Bluffton Buffalo Shrimp Wrap that included the spicy “yum yum” sauce rolled in a soft tortilla. And Barry opted for the Savannah

Anna Melt, a grilled 5 oz. chicken booby topped with BBQ sauce, bacon and pepper jack on a Kaiser roll. i really love how all the entrees are named after local towns. other creations are the Frogmore philly Cheese Steak, the Tybee island Rescue Squad Fish and Chips Basket, the pocataligo pulled pork Barbecue, and the yemassee yard Bird.

i got the Southwest Savannah egg rolls, chicken and black bean egg rolls served with an orange-Wasabi Marmalade. i was too stingy to share, but i do believe that it was a table favorite. i know it’s my opinion; however, i know this Lunch Bunch well. if they would have tasted these, they would have agreed — the egg rolls are a must-have as well.

Rosie o’Gradys boasts “the Best Damn Happy Hour” Monday-Saturday from 4-7 p.m. and also offers a variety of specials each weeknight. Mondays and Tuesdays are “in the Biz” nights. if you work in food and beverage, expect 15 percent off your bill. Wednesdays are ladies night with $2 house wines and $1 vodkas. Thursdays are man nights with $2 Jim Beam and Miller Lite. Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll love singing karaoke with “Big B” and “Melissa.” of course, football rules all weekend.

Rosie o’Gradys is the best-kept secret in town. The sports bub and eatery is a new favorite of mine. The food and service were exceptional. Thank you Mike for inviting us! We will be back.

the Lunch Bunchreviewing delicious local restaurants

Rosie O’Gradys was O’so deliciousBy Wendy Pollitzer

The Irish Drunken Shrimp with “Yum Yum” sauce (left) are a must-have. Wendy claims her Southwest Savannah Egg rolls (right) were must-haves, but she didn’t share.

When my son turned 13, i bemoaned to a friend that a hulking stranger who ate vast amounts of carbohydrates and smelled vaguely of monkeys had replaced my charming little boy. She replied, “it’s normal. it makes it easier when they leave.” Her son was 18. i settled in for the tumultuous teen years.

of course, there are parallels in the dog world. The juvenile dog morphs into a teenage hoodlum in a new york minute. your sweet, fuzzy puppy that stubbornly refused to walk to the end of the driveway a few days ago now adventures alone to the neighbor’s compost pile. The sound of the doorbell that was once ignored now elicits shrieks, mad scrambling and the inevitable crash as she bounces off the front window. Depending on your dog’s individual personality and breed, starting at around five months, teenagerhood lasts anywhere from one year to three years. This is their experimental age. oh, dear.

each change you see tells you that puddles on the floor and high-pitched yaps in the pre-dawn hours are almost behind you. The future promises an adult dog, wise and compliant. yet the present reality can be jarring. As your pup continues to mature, you find yourself in the company of an animal you no longer understand, and one that is filled with boundless energy and the will for all things doggy.

While many pups sail though adolescence with an angelic, cooperative attitude, most dogs frazzle their families with confusing, fluctuating behaviors. That’s because major internal and external metamorphoses are going on, fueled by physiological changes.

Breed-specific characteristics such as a desire to herd, or

adult traits such as scent marking, “turn on” or intensify. owners discover they are now being taken for walks, gasping for breath and hanging on for dear life. Squirrels take on a fascination as never before and new people and dogs are greeted with full body force or sometimes, suspicion. Responses to simple requests, such as going to crate or sitting on command, may result in a doggie version of “nuh-uh!” ranging from playful avoidance to downright refusal. A teen-beagle friend of mine expresses his willfulness for command by grabbing up the nearest fabric item-pillows, socks, his blanket--and running full-out through three levels of house.

By the time he’s concluded his run, his owners have forgotten his command. Clever, isn’t he?

The teen dog’s rapid changes, physically and mentally, qualify this period as a “critical” one. The socialization phase — from three to 12 weeks — is also “critical.” (Any fast organizational process in the development of a living creature is considered critical.) When behavior changes rapidly, something important is going on and owners must be just as fast to do what they can to modify pet’s behavior to their advantage.

in the first critical phase, your pup should have learned basic skills of good dog behavior—sit, come, leave it, potty outside, this is yours, this is mine and don’t jump on Grandma. Because you’ve taken your pup with you in your daily

excursions and introduced her to variants of the human world, she is a congenial easy-going hey, what’s that? kind of companion. When the teen years hit, your pet will begin to test the parameters you’ve set and may attempt to create a few of her own behaviors through trial and error.

An undesirable behavior is most easily altered in the initial learning phase, before it stabilizes. An example is territorial barking, which can escalate rapidly if not checked. The very first time sweet puppy lunges at the door, screaming hysterically at the mail carrier is the time to step in. Unchecked, you’ll have a frenzied, territorial adult dog who has taught herself a routine, difficult to modify. The best time to for families to work with undesirable behavior is as it emerges; otherwise the dog will gladly take on the job.

Families need to understand that teen-dogs want more freedom and will test the limits. it’s up to their humans to use this period to guide development of adult behavior. Spaying and neutering helps modify emerging territoriality. Socialization must be continued to impress on the dog that the world does not end at the front door.

Canine adolescence can’t be avoided, but the period is much more than just annoying. it’s the time between puppy hood and adulthood during which good dog temperament stabilizes. Make the most of it.
