The city's history is replete with tales of greatness, in which warriors, statesmen, activists, business people and men of the cloth play integral roles.
Identifying the greatest among them is quite a tall order, but The Beaufort Gazette thinks it is up to the challenge — well, with a little help from some friends who graciously donated their time and expertise. We assembled a panel of nine people to pick the "Nine Most Influential People in Beaufort's History."
The goal was to recognize those whose actions made the city of Beaufort what it is today. This criteria meant some pretty important people didn't even make the ballot.
Boxer Joe Frazier, for example, is probably the most famous person associated with this area in the 20th century, but he made his fortune outside the area and was from Burton to boot. Sheriff J.E. McTeer is another highly noteworthy person, who for at least part of his life lived within the city limits. However, by virtue of his job, his greatest influence was exerted over unincorporated areas of Beaufort County and was thus, excluded.
And still the field of candidates was vast.
We picked three people from each of the three centuries that followed the city's 1711 incorporation. Here are the results:
John "Tuscarora Jack" Barnwell (1671–1724) — John Barnwell was an Irishman who immigrated to colonial South Carolina in 1701. A skilled cartographer, Barnwell literally and figuratively put Beaufort on the map, according to a family history by Elizabeth Barnwell Gough. He also was patriarch of a family that influenced Beaufort politically, socially and economically for generations.
Barnwell's first contact with the area was in 1703, when he was directed to map Port Royal Sound, Gough wrote. Often a part of expeditions against the Spanish and French, Barnwell continued to map the region, eventually making "the great mother map of the American southeast from which all subsequent maps of the area were made."
In 1711, he was put in command of militia and 500 Indians, mostly Yemassee, to stand up to Tuscarora Indians who had been raiding English settlements in what is now North Carolina. Outnumbered, under-provisioned and contending with poor discipline and a harsh winter, Barnwell's force nevertheless routed the Tuscarora. The success of his mission and his status as the Carolinas' most experienced Indian fighter earned him his nickname, "Tuscarora Jack."
When South Carolina overthrew the colonial proprietors and arranged to become a royal colony, Barnwell was dispatched to London to represent the colony and help earn the crown's sanction for the new government.
About four years later, his allies, the Yemassee, turned against the English. For years, Barnwell and Port Royal neighbor, planter and Indian agent Thomas Nairne had warned that policy toward the Indians was exploitative and inspiring revolt, according to Gough. Their warnings proved correct on Good Friday 1715, when the Yemassee, Creeks, Choctaws and Catawbas struck at Pocotaligo Town. A handful escaped the massacre, fleeing to Barnwell's plantation. Alerted to the uprising, 300 colonists fled to Beaufort and crowded aboard a ship. Among the passengers was Barnwell's 10-year-old son, Nathaniel. More than 400 settlers, though, were slaughtered. Barnwell again was called to repel Indians, this time pushing his former allies into Florida.
In 1721 Barnwell had a fortified outpost, named Fort King George, on the Altamaha River, in an attempt to check the Spanish influence on the region and its Indians. He was never able to achieve a renewal of the old Yemassee-British alliance, according to "The Dictionary of American Biography," but he had helped secure a future for Beaufort.
Thomas Nairne (unknown-1715) — A settler of Stuart Town and St. Helena Island, Nairne was one of five people commissioned by the S.C. Commons House of Assembly in 1707 to maintain and develop roads, bridges and creek cuts south of St. Helena Sound. He later lobbied South Carolina's lord proprietors in London to lay out plans for a town in the Port Royal area. In 1711, that request was granted, and what became the city of Beaufort was created as an outlet for naval stores, cattle, crops and scout boats exploring interior waters.
Nairne was appointed to develop border watches on local plantations and in 1707 was named commissioner of Indian affairs for South Carolina, according to Alexia Jones Helsley's 2005 book "Beaufort, South Carolina: A History." In November 1711, Nairne, John Barnwell and three others laid out a 16-foot-wide roadway from the islands of St. Helena and Port Royal to the Ashepoo. Between 1711 and 1714, a road was cut across Port Royal Island, linking Beaufort to the Combahee River and making transportation in and out of Beaufort no longer entirely dependent upon waterways.
Nairne was killed in 1715 while negotiating with the Yemassee Indians at Pocotaligo. They met peacefully on the first night, but in the morning, the unsuspecting party was rounded up. Some were killed immediately. Nairne, who had advocated fair treatment of the Indians, was tortured for four days before dying, according to Helsley.
William Elliott (1717-1783) — Patriarch of one of Beaufort's leading families, he was a part of the St. Helena Parish delegation that ratified the U.S. Constitution for South Carolina. He also was in charge of the Port Republic Bridge Co., which helped connect Port Royal Island with the mainland, building two causeways joined by a rope-pulled ferry.
Elliott's principal contribution was the introduction of large-scale production of sea island cotton at his Myrtle Bank Plantation on Hilton Head Island in 1790. This was an economic revolution for South Carolina and helped bring prosperity to the city of Beaufort.
Robert Smalls (1839-1915) — Smalls was a slave who became a Civil War hero, sea captain and key Reconstruction-era politician.
Smalls lived in the John McKee household until 1851, when his master sent him to work for a Charleston resident, where he lived until the outbreak of the Civil War. He earned fame — and freed himself and his family from slavery — on May 13, 1862, by commandeering a Confederate transport ship, the USS Planter, to freedom in Charleston Harbor. Smalls had been part of the crew for the Planter, which supplied the forts in and around Charleston Harbor. On the night of his daring deed, while the white ship captain spent the evening in the city, Smalls and the other slave crewmen brought their families aboard. Smalls then piloted the vessel out of the harbor and turned the ship over to the Union Navy.
After the war, Smalls parlayed that folkhero status into a political career. He was elected to the state Constitutional Convention of 1868, then the state General Assembly, followed by the state Senate. In 1874, Smalls was elected to the U.S. Congress and served five terms. He also served as customs collector for Beaufort from 1889 to 1913 and died in 1915. Smalls purchased the house in which he had lived as a slave at a tax sale in 1863, and he and his descendants occupied the property until his death.
Robert Barnwell Rhett (1800-1876) — Often called the father of secession, he was born Robert Barnwell Smith in Beaufort. He changed his name after entering public life, to match that of a prominent colonial ancestor, Col. William Rhett. He studied law and became a member of the South Carolina legislature in 1826. After his state legislative service, Rhett was South Carolina's attorney general, a U.S. representative and a U.S. senator. Extremely pro-South in his views, he split with John C. Calhoun in 1844 to lead the Bluffton Movement for separate state action on the Tariff of 1842, according to the Gale Encyclopedia of Biography.
Rhett was one of the leading "fire-eaters" — a contingent of fervent secessionists — at the Nashville Convention of 1850, which failed to endorse his aim of Southern separation. When South Carolina passed an ordinance in 1852 that merely declared a state's right to secede, Rhett resigned his Senate seat, arguing the measure didn't go far enough. He continued to express his fiery secessionist sentiments through the Charleston Mercury newspaper edited by his son, Robert Barnwell Rhett Jr.
When South Carolina did secede, Rhett was part of the Montgomery Convention convened to organize a provisional government for the Confederacy. He was one of the most active delegates and was chairman of the committee that formulated the Confederate Constitution. Subsequently, he was elected a member of the lower house of the Confederate Congress. When he achieved no higher office in the Confederate government, he returned to South Carolina where he sharply criticized the policies of Confederate President Jefferson Davis of Mississippi.
After the war, he settled in Louisiana, where he died in 1876. He was buried in Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery.
Stephen Elliott (1771-1830) — Elliott was an American legislator, banker, educator and botanist, who still is recognized for having written one of the most important works in American botany, according to his biography at en.wikipedia.org. In several installments from 1816 to 1824, he published "A Sketch of the Botany of South-Carolina and Georgia."
In 1900, Science magazine described him as "the father of southern botany."
Elliott was born and reared in Beaufort, then moved to New Haven, Conn., to attend Yale University. He graduated in 1791 as valedictorian.
He returned to South Carolina to work on a plantation he had inherited. He was elected to the legislature in South Carolina in 1793 or 1796 (sources disagree) and served until about 1800. He then left the legislature and devoted himself to managing his plantation and studying botany.
Elliott was re-elected to the legislature in 1808. He helped found a state bank in 1812. He resigned from the legislature and was appointed president of the Bank of the State of South Carolina. He held that position for the rest of his life. In addition, he taught botany and natural history at the Medical College of South Carolina until his death in 1830.
Brantley Harvey Jr. (1930-present) — Harvey is a Beaufort lawyer, elected to the state House of Representatives in 1958 and elected lieutenant governor of South Carolina in 1974. He has served on and was chairman of several governmental boards and nonprofit organizations, including the Rotary Club of Beaufort.
As a teenager, Harvey was a laborer who helped build the Beaufort Naval Hospital; as a young adult working for his father's law firm, he helped certify the property titles that cleared the way for the creation of the modern Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
Harvey spent 16 years in the state legislature and four as lieutenant governor. During those two decades in Columbia, he fortified home rule and local government autonomy and helped Beaufort land a University of South Carolina branch and the Technical College of the Lowcountry.
Long after his exit from state politics, he was a proponent of the University of South Carolina Beaufort's drive to grant four-year degrees and expand to its Hilton Head Gateway campus. In 1998, he and his wife, Helen, donated $1 million for the new USCB campus and $400,000 to the USC Law School.
Henry C. Chambers (1928-present) — Henry C. Chambers is a great-grandson of Reconstruction merchant-king Moritz Pollitzer and a fifth-generation Beaufortonian.
A graduate of Clemson University and a veteran of the Korean War, he is active in community affairs, past president of the United Way, active in the Boy Scouts, a founder of the local Boys & Girls Clubs and recipient of numerous honors and awards for community service.
However, he is best known as Beaufort's longtime mayor. He presided over many ambitious projects, including new sewer and road infrastructure and the waterfront park that bears his name, helping transform Beaufort's tourism industry.
Sen. James Waddell (1922-2003) — Representing Beaufort and Jasper counties, Waddell served in the General Assembly for more than 15 years before resigning from the Senate in 1992 to accept an appointment by Gov. Carroll Campbell as one of three members of the S.C. Tax Commission, according to the University of South Carolina. Waddell was born in Boydell, Ark., and attended The Citadel. He joined the Army, served in World War II and earned the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
He later was a general agent with Pilot Life Insurance and president of Landmark Insurance Group in Beaufort. Waddell was elected to the S.C. House as a Democrat in 1954. He served until 1958, when he left to manage the successful gubernatorial campaign of Ernest "Fritz" Hollings.
On his return to the General Assembly, Waddell's power and influence grew steadily. Legislation with which he is associated includes the Heritage Trust Act of 1976 and Coastal Zone Management Act of 1977.
Waddell was founder and chairman of the S.C. Coastal Council, now the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management. He also was a major force in creating the Sea Grant Consortium on South Carolina and establishing the Waddell Mariculture Research and Development Center in greater Bluffton. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter appointed Waddell to the National Advisory Committee on Oceans and Atmosphere. When he resigned from the state Senate in January 1992, he was second in seniority.

WGN just did a story on the heroin epidemic here in the Land. They said a $10.00 bag could "keep an addict high for a day or two." That's just not correct, at least not in my experience. I do not know a single addict that stays high all day on one $10.00 bag. Most heroin addicts that I have encountered have about a four bag per day habit on average, with some addicts having as much as a 10 to 12 bag per day habit.
This is Shaggy. I've watched Shaggy inject as many as three $10.00 bags, one right after the other. No $10.00 per day habit here:

NEW YORK Apple CEO Tim Cook believes Santa's sleigh will be loaded with iPads this Christmas, but several competing tablets are sure to be along for the ride, too.
Apple's iPad Air, a thinner, lighter and faster-running version of its previous large tablet computers, went on sale Friday with a starting price of $499. The company also unveiled an updated version of its iPad Mini recently. It goes on sale sometime in November.
Apple is expecting strong sales of both models – so much so that Cook told analysts during the company's most recent earnings conference call that "this is going to be an iPad Christmas" as he predicted year-over-year growth.
But this year the iPad faces its stiffest holiday season competition since its 2010 introduction. While Apple still holds the largest chunk of the growing tablet market, the iPad has been losing market share to quality – and often cheaper – alternatives that run Google's Android operating system.
According to data released by market research firm IDC, iPads accounted for about 30 percent of the tablets shipped during the July-September quarter, down from about 40 percent in the same period a year ago.
Tom Mainelli, IDC's research director for tablets, noted that Apple faced tough year-ago comparisons because it released a new iPad during the second quarter of 2012, which caused its sales to spike in both the second and third quarters of that year.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics, Apple's closest rival, saw its market share jump to 20 percent from 12 percent a year ago. Smaller tablet makers such as Asus, Lenovo and Acer also saw big increases, though their shares of the market remained in the single digits.
The overall number of tablets shipped in the July-September period jumped 37 percent from a year ago, driven by a surge in Android tablet shipments. At the same time, iPad shipments rose less than 1 percent.
Mainelli said that despite the competition, he expects Apple to post a year-over-year increase in iPad sales for the fourth quarter, predicting that the slimmed-down nature of the iPad Air will be a big draw for consumers who complained in the past about the iPad's weight. If Apple does lose market share during the holiday season, Mainelli said, the amount will be tiny and of little consequence to the company's bottom line.
"We're all guilty of this, of looking at Apple's market share and saying: 'Are they in trouble?'" Mainelli said. "But the reality is they're going to have a real good fourth-quarter; they're going to have great average selling prices compared to their competitors, and that's going to be great for their profits and great for the Street too."
Cook in his comments Monday emphasized that his company isn't just focused on how many iPads it sells in comparison to its rivals, saying that Apple also looks at things like customer loyalty and usage rates.
Mainelli noted that because Apple keeps its prices high, it's much more profitable than other tablet makers who try to boost unit sales by keeping prices low. As a result, Apple makes significantly more on each tablet it sells.
Shawn DuBravac, chief economist for the Consumer Electronics Association, said there should be plenty of demand to go around. His group expects U.S. fourth-quarter tablet sales of 40.1 million units, marking a 21 percent increase from a year ago. According to CEA research, about 26 percent of consumers plan to buy a tablet as a gift this year, roughly the same as last year's 27 percent.
DuBravac noted that the tablet market has fragmented in recent years, much like the personal computer and digital camera markets did as they matured. Consumers can now choose from among a wide variety of prices, sizes and options when shopping for a tablet, which boosts overall interest in the products, he said.
The iPad competitors set to hit the market this month include Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 – 2014 Edition, which is one of the few that costs more than the iPad Air. Its 16 gigabyte version starts at $550. But Amazon.com's Kindle Fire HDX, which like the Samsung tablet runs on the Android operating system, starts at $299.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has put a big marketing push behind its Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets, which start at $449 and $899, respectively. The tablets are aimed at business professionals and could attract buyers who want access to Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Office applications, something iPads and Android tablets don't offer.

YouTube's Kevin Allocca '06
Every day, contributors to YouTube upload 70-plus hours of new material per minute; in the span of 24 hours, visitors to the website view 4 billion videos. Kevin Allocca scrutinizes this activity. He is YouTube's trends manager—hired for the new position in 2010 by Google, which owns the site, with the mandate to, as he puts it, "make sense of it all."
Allocca's first major project was launching youtube.com/trends, a "what's hot" miscellany for which he blogs conversationally on topics such as "Top 10 Commencement Videos of 2012″ and "How Many Happy Birthday Videos Are Posted Each Day?" ("Over 2,000," he says.) The site also contains public versions of feeds and filters he has developed with Google's engineers to sift through YouTube's store of usage data. Allocca spends a few hours each day and evening tracking down what he calls "cultural phenomena"—which videos are most viewed? Shared? Parodied? What if you sort by topic, age, gender, geography? He is fascinated by the input from countries recently added to YouTube's domain. "One of my favorite things to do," he says, is "to ask what's the big music video today" in Ghana or Peru or Malaysia.
Allocca works mostly at Google's block-long, 15-story office in Manhattan's Chelsea district, where employees cruise the hallways on scooters. He also manages a California-based team of four "social media and programming coordinators" who chat online with YouTube's 61-million Facebook followers and tweet links to videos (e.g., "Meet the proud owner of America's smallest apartment").
Journalists and academics doing research about YouTube—or about Syrian unrest, say, or the Japanese tsunami—seek out Allocca. And, increasingly, he's tapped for speaking engagements. His TED talk on why videos go viral has garnered a quarter-million YouTube views since February.
With a double major in communication and film studies, Allocca moved to New York after graduation, aiming to write TV comedy. But an HTML course he took as a lark steered him toward the Huffington Post—where he generated satirical text and video ("if you had a good idea and the time to do it, they'd post just about anything")—and later to editing the widely read TV news industry blog at Mediabistro.com. "When I started college," he marvels, "none of the jobs I've had existed."

"A while back, I posted an item on "identity" as a new paradigm that could replace "experience" in our business culture. Academia, especially linguistics, has been talking about the shift from experience to identity for some time. The idea is that the concept of "experience" is passive. Currently we say you experience something, as in having a great consumer experience or a great hospital experience or a great gambling experience.
But life really isn't like that. People are not passive–they make their own lives. People interract with their environments to create their distinct identities. Let me repeat that–people interract with their environments to create their own identities. This amounts to co-creating your own products and services."
From Experience to Identity–The New Paradigm
[…] Bruce Nussbaum ha sottolineato come la "esperienza" sia in realtà un concetto passivo che dovrebbe essere sostituito dal paradigma della "identità". Attraverso questa nuova concezione viene rivendicato il ruolo attivo del soggetto che in prima persona interagisce con l'ambiente per creare la propria identità. […]

- Simply Divine!RJREED93Dined on 10/29/2014This was our second visit to La Bella Vita. The atmosphere, the service, the food all combine to make a truly memorable dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible!!LNO2013Dined on 10/21/2014This was our first time to La Bella Vita. We had heard it was a wonderful restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service was incredible and the food was even better. Aaron was our server and he didn't miss a thing. The owner came around to our table and the other patrons as well. So impressed! We are coming back!! Thank you!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceTKDGuyDined on 10/11/2014Wife and I went here for our anniversary, and it was a great choice. It's not inexpensive, but for a special occasion kind of place or even as a date night, it is perfect. We are picky about our Italian food, and La Bella Vita delivered. The only thing we weren't excited about was the dessert, but the manager actually took it off our bill because we didn't care for it. Great service. Highly recommend as a nice quality restaurant here in the Springs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Undiscovered gemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/9/2014This is a great spot for lunch. Conveniently located off I25. Great food and service.Special Features:
- Don't Be Fooled by the OutsideRosanneFDined on 10/4/2014Great restaurant, easy freeway access with wonderful food and service. Don't be fooled by the parking lot and look from the putside. The inside is very welcoming and comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedFineWineandDineDined on 9/27/2014We chose La Bella Vita largely on the basis of the favorable review on Open Table. We took a grandson there to celebrate his 13th birthday. The waiter and staff were the best part. He was knowledgable about the menu and could answer questions. The courses came on time. The appetizer was calamari which was rubbery. The salads were small. I ordered the salmon which was small and overcooked. My grandson ordered the veal scallopini which was not well prepared. Tasteless. The desert was OK. We shared. There was no nice Italian music in the background. The hard ceiling reflected sound in such a way as to make conversation difficult. We picked the wrong restaurant that night.
- WorphVIPDined on 9/13/2014Food exceeded my expectations. Gnocchi was the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Italian FoodDBFinCOSDined on 9/6/2014This local restaurant was fantastic! Every item we tried from the Shrimp and Mushroom Appetizer to the Veal Piccata were out of this world! The owner's Tuscan heritage shines through. It took us a half an hour just to decide what to order--there were so many delicious sounding options. The service was professional, yet friendly and caring. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an excellent dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/30/2014The chicken piccata and beef tenderloin genovese were superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I have a new favorite restaurant!ItalianfoodieDined on 8/30/2014Definitely the best meal we've had since our trip to Panama, Central America.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightAshleeDined on 8/16/2014Excellent for Date Night! It was quiet but still able to have a private conversation without other people listening. It was a pretty romantic place. The lights weren't dimmed but it was soft and the tables are spaced far apart so you can have some privacy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much better than outside appearanceSpenceDined on 8/16/2014What a pleasant surprise. From the outside, it looks just kind of blah, but once inside, the decor and service make you forget about external appearances. Food is terrific, service is excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday Celebrationlooking4foodDined on 8/16/2014My wife and I went to dinner for her birthday. We were shown promptly to our table and the staff were nice throughout. The server was knowledgeable about the specials, the wines and menu items, so he was able to offer recommendations based on our preferences. I was given the opportunity to taste two different wines to better allow me to choose between them. The low noise level allowed us to carry a conversation, without trying to compete with nearby tables. The decor of the restaurant is simple, not overwhelming. We will be going back for future special occasions.Special Features:
- Will Keep Coming Back!FanahmenalFoodDined on 8/8/2014Been coming here for years. Typical Italian love going on in this place ... Staff friendly, food amazing, great vino!Special Features:
- great!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014Went on a date with my boyfriend here and the service was wonderful and the food was delicious. Great sea food and the steak was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed everything immensely!Special Features:
- ReviewItalianCriticDined on 8/2/2014Food was bland; believe food is higher quality at Olive Garden (so I was disappointed). Since Antonio's closed (when the owner married and moved to Denver), been searching for fine Italian food. Understood this establishment opened two years ago...in Antonio's old building....and give it a try. It was ok then....and now ...two years later...bland. Tortellini (simply cheese filled, not meat) was rubbery and the veal was shocking to look. I may give it one more try….in a few months…but then that's it. My family side is Sicilian, so……not what I'm accustomed to.
- The following 104 reviews are from the La Bella Vita reviews archive.
- Second Visit Even BetterMaximillian00VIPDined on 7/25/2014My wife and I came here for the second time and the for was fantastic. Very personable service as well. The owner has begun making his own limoncello and it tasted great. We will return again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- La Bella VitaBaxterRooDined on 7/18/2014Fantastic food in a unusual location. We had a wonderful dinner and will return many times. Don't let the street view stop you from going in. I great restaurant.Special Features:
- A "hidden" gem.CSdinerDined on 7/10/2014We recently dined for the second time there-this time at lunch. All 3 dishes we ordered, plus the wine recommended by Eric for each one were fantastic. It's a quiet, refined place, great for conversation with excellent food. Don't come here for a quick in an out meal, come to enjoy good food, wine and the company of your friends and family. Prices are very fair, but not extremely cheap. The location is very convenient, but not easy to see. I believe they would serve themselves well if they could somehow give concise directions in all their advertising and perhaps a sign hear the entrance that additional parking and and another entrance are just around back.Special Features:
- Overchargedkim26Dined on 6/15/2014We dined at La Bella Cita on Father's Day 2014. I should have taken the reviews that I read seriously because they were accurate. My children are generally on their best behavior when in a public establishment, but if they even spoke at this location it sounded as though they were unruly. The atmosphere is far too quite. So quite you can hear the table next to you talking. We had a party of 6 and I would not even speak to the other end of the table out of fear of being too loud. The other diners would glare at me if my children even spoke. When I got home I discovered I was overcharged. My children's food cost a small fortune due to the overcharging. Food prices are a bit pricy to not get a sale in the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Father's Day MenuCSClassicalVIPDined on 6/15/2014Had a wonderful Father's Day dinner at La Bella Vita on 6/15/14! In addition to the usual menu items, Chef Giuliano offered Father's Day specials for every category from Appetizer to Dessert. Would that we could have tried them all! Our dinner exceeded all our expectations and was a wonderful cap to a great day.Special Features:
- A delightful evening.ChuckieDined on 6/7/2014It was easy to make a reservation on line, and the conformation assured us you'd received it. The staff couldn't have been nicer. As we arrived they gave congratulations to the couple with us celebrating their 50+ wedding anniversary and brought champagne to them. They honored my request for the nicest table they had because it was a special celebration and gave us an booth that was extra private. We're telling friends about this restaurant because we don't think many people know about it. The food is terrific, and it's much easier to make a reservation at peak times here than at other restaurants around the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Italian food like back hometdjdfamilyDined on 6/4/2014Vacationing in Colorado Springs and found La Bella Vita on Urbanspoon. Family wanted a meal from a local establishment instead of the chain restaurants. The service and food was excellent. I had the trout which was very good. My wife had the chicken parmigiana and she was also very pleased. The costs was reasonable as I don't mind paying for a meal and service that was provided to us. Location might not be desirable but you have try it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This One's a "Keeper"CSClassicalVIPDined on 6/1/2014It's hard for me to count the number of times I've dined here. Regardless, La Bella Vita is--for me--a "keeper"! The dining is the highest quality and Chef Giuliano continues to surprise with his native Italian take on both regular menu items and specials, often coming up with dishes that some wouldn't even consider for an Italian restaurant. IMHO, this is the BEST Italian restaurant in Colorado Springs, and maybe the be best between Denver and the New Mexico state line. Who else would serve a scoop of spumoni in a martini glass with a touch of Amaretto and a shot of espresso, with a ring of whipped cream. If you haven't discovered this restaurant yet, you owe it to yourself to try it; you'll become a regular, without a doubt!Special Features:
- Great Mother's Day lunchDavidRDined on 5/11/2014Had an excellent meal. Great food, great staff. The ravlioli special with crab meat sauce and cheese filling was excellent, as was the antipasto appetizer plate. I will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Lunch!LoveToEat62Dined on 5/11/2014The food was very good. We were very happy and will go back.Special Features:
- Wonderful ItalianFoodieDined on 5/9/2014We are regulars. Food is always exceptional, always prepared fresh. Don't overlook the specials, particularly the veal and seafood.Special Features:
- A Colorado Springs Jewel!CSClassicalVIPDined on 4/25/2014La Bella Vita has only been around for a little over 2 years, if my memory serves, but my wife and I keep coming back time and again because of the quality of the food, the imagination of the Chef/Owner (Giuliano), and the service overseen by the General Manager, Eric. Yes, everything's a la carte pricing and it's not a "chain" Italian restaurant, but (especially the latter) argues in its favor because the Chef has the ability to add new dishes at will without having to go though a Corporate superstructure to put new, authentically Italian dishes on the menu, whether as permanent additions or specials. Don't wait! Reserve today! They're also open for lunch, with an Italian brunch on Sundays. Open Tues thru Sun for both lunch & dinner.Special Features:
- A Great Evening Out!ILuvGreatFoodDined on 4/18/2014Two friends and I met for dinner at La Bella Vita. I'd been there before for lunch, but it was my friends' first time. We went on my recommendation, and as before, had a great meal. The calamari was amazing, the wines we ordered outstanding, and our main dishes were incredible. I had a special (lamb -- amazing!), one friend had the salmon, the other a pasta dish. We were in heaven all evening. The staff is attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. And the dessert!! Ambrosia. This establishment deserves to be much busier than it was that evening! Highly recommended!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoy Good Italian FoodEastCoastItalianDined on 4/11/2014In town for just 2 days. Read the reviews, both good and bad and gave La Bella Vita a try. We were completely satisfied with the choice. I rarely eat from the menu without making some modifications. The waite staff was skeptical but checked with the kitchen and came back with "No Problem". The service was attentive but not intrusive. The food was far better than expected for the price. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely visit again on our next stay in Colorado Springs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We love this placeTheVogDined on 4/4/2014This is probably our 5th trip to La Bella Vita. This time I tried the Tortellini with prosciutto and it was fabulous. My wife had the eggplant parmigiana. The food every trip has been excellent! The service is very friendly and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone close to Colorado SpringsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for GroupsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/21/2014The food was wonderful - fresh, authentic, tasty! We wanted to play cards in the morning with coffee, then do lunch and play more in the afternoon...they set us up beautifully!!!! They have a small group room and then a bigger group room as well. Highly recommend it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Authentic Italian FoodTCroattDined on 3/8/2014We had a lovely experience. The food was delicious - probably the best Italian food I've had here in the Springs. (It's really hard to find decent Italian here!!) We started with the Burratta (YUM!!), a Caprese salad, and some fried calamari. I had the fettuccine with vodka sauce and shrimp, and my husband had a lovely risotto with shrimp. The others in our party also immensely enjoyed their meals. We finished with the profiteroles, which were lovely, though I found the filling to be a bit strange and non-traditional, and a tiramisu, which was excellent. I was really impressed with the quality of the entrees and how they came out piping hot! We will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Enjoyable Evening OutOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 2/22/2014Dinner with good friends was made better by the freshly prepared entrees and attentive service. My wife and I have enjoyed several fine meals at both luncheon and dinner for over three years at La Bella Vita. We will continue to frequent this fine restaurant in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a nice Valentine dinnerVDayDinerDined on 2/15/2014Had a nice Valentine dinner there with my wife. The food was very good and the staff was attentive. Nice experience.Special Features:
- Inside is what counts...SteveDined on 2/15/2014From the outside, La Bella Vita doesn't look like much, but the food, service, and wine were excellent. We will definitely return, but probably not with our young child. The atmosphere was nice and generally quiet, which is not great for our young child. The menu and wine list were a little pricey, but I felt I got my money's worth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent Dinner, Little Priceybro21Dined on 2/14/2014La Bella Vita was recommended from a few different restaurant review websites, so I tried it out with high expectations. The food was good but not mind blowing, but I guess I was a bit disappointing because it came so hyped up as an authentic and very good Italian food place. It is definitely not a bad place to eat, the staff is friendly, the ambiance is good, but for what it was, it was a bit over priced for my tastes. (It should be noted that I'm a bit picky when the price hits over $25 dollars a plate)Special Features:
- Disappointedlove2shopDined on 2/14/2014Not at all "romantic" as noted in other reviews. Service extremely slow - to be expected when at least 12 other couples had 7:00 pm reservations on Valentine's Day. Lacking ambiance for romantic dinner; seated at a makeshift table in the bar. Service very slow. The bread basket was empty for 15 minutes before offer to refill; waited at least that long for our salad. Special Valentines Day menu; Rollatine di Pollo was good, Seafood Cannelloni was lacking chunks of seafood. I'm chalking it up to the fact it was Valentine's Day but still not certain we will try it again.
- Mixed feelings...IzzyDined on 2/14/2014We picked this place for Valentine's. The food wasn't bad at all, drinks were very good & service was prompt...almost too prompt... We felt a bit rushed, we were actually in & out in 45 minutes! What we had hoped for was some time to relax but we felt like they wanted us out of there. Maybe because of the holiday? Not sure but maybe we'll go back another night & see...then again maybe not since there are so many other restaurants that are more relaxed. Only time will tell!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellencespider4360Dined on 2/14/2014The food, while maybe a little bit over priced for the portion size, was excellent. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about which wines went with the dishes. All in all, I would definitely recommend La Bella Vita for special occasions such as anniversaries or Valentines dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

November 26, 2014
June 25, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Tuesday's Supreme Court decision voiding a key section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act alarmed a Virginia legislator who was a foot soldier in the civil rights struggle and helped get Virginia covered under the law.
State Sen. Henry Marsh says Congress needs to update and reinstate part of the federal act that forces areas with racially discriminatory histories to submit election law changes for federal vetting to safeguard minority voting strength.
The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling struck down the section of the law requiring Virginia and other states, mostly in the South, to obtain Justice Department preclearance of redistricting plans. It said the requirement was outdated 48 years after the Congress enacted it.
Marsh says he gave the Senate documents that got Virginia covered under the section.

Bayliss plans new year recruitment drive
Last updated at 20:41, Tuesday, 25 December 2012
A NEW Year recruitment drive is on the cards at Barrow AFC, with manager Dave Bayliss hoping to boost the ranks by bringing in three or four players in January.
The Bluebirds – who were today aiming for victory at Alfreton in a bid to lift themselves off the foot of the Blue Square Bet Premier table – have been operating with one of the smallest squads in the division.
At present Bayliss has 17 players to pick from, with defender Neill Byrne having now returned to parent club Rochdale.
Three of those 17 will see their loan deals expire within the next fortnight – first Blackpool striker Louis Almond on January 1, and then Burnley duo Joe Jackson and Tom Anderson five days later. Bayliss said: "We have to start getting points on the board in the league and now, and I'm counting down the days until January when we can strengthen the squad.
"Centre-half is a position we do need to bring someone in, and I will bring someone in.
"We're probably looking at three players in January, and I've spoken to the chairman (Brian Keen) and clubs already.
"We need a couple of defenders, another striker, which we will get, and possibly another wide player.
"I'm not happy with what we have got. I know that and the players know that but for the time being they have the shirts to keep and it's up to them to stay in the side."
Asked if Barrow could make a move for Colchester United centre-half Tom Aldred, who enjoyed a three-month loan spell at Holker Street earlier this season, Bayliss added: "Tom loved it here.
"We have spoken to a few more clubs as well about getting a more experienced centre-half but Tom is definitely a good option for us to bring back."
As well battling relegation, Barrow remain in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy competitions, with a second round replay at Macclesfield Town in the former a week today and a third round trip to Gateshead in the latter on Saturday, January 12, on the horizon.
The tie at Macclesfield looks set to be tense affair, following Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Holker Street, from which Barrow were unlucky not to emerge victorious.
And as if £27,000 in prize money and a third round home game against Championship leaders Cardiff City was not enough to motivate the Bluebirds, Bayliss said some of the quotes given by Macclesfield manager Steve King following the first encounter will only act to fire up Barrow's players even more.
"We were massively unlucky not to win the game on Tuesday and then you have people like their manager (King) coming out with quotes saying they were the better side, saying they were the only ones who wanted to play football," said the AFC boss.
"We had more shots on target and more possession of the football.
"He's worried because he came to a good old fashioned club like Barrow and we beat them in all aspects of the game. Okay, we didn't get the result but what he has done is fire us up even more. It gives us extra motivation going into the replay."

ACA is a worthy experiment
Most Americans have been touched by Malala Yousafzai's courageous battle to help all children get good educations. At the young age of 16, she already knows that a good education provides opportunities that would otherwise never exist.
The key to freedom is seeking the truth. Our democratic republic exists only because well-educated founders realized that governing a nation required skillful, talented and educated leaders who were willing to work together to develop programs beneficial to the majority.
Currently an assault is raging over the Affordable Care Act, a form of national health care already adopted in several other countries – Canada, England, Denmark and Norway, to name a few. Their total annual health care costs average 7 percent to 9 percent per family. In America, it is currently a little over 15 percent. Yet those other countries have lower death rates than America.
The Affordable Care Act is new and untried. It will undoubtedly need tweaking over time. But it could turn out to be the best system ever devised for improving the health of most Americans. We should at least try it.

True leadership in short supply
I am a proud member of the GOP (I don't think I could ever agree with most liberal positions on issues), but after reading Education policy struggle escalates (Oct. 19), I can't help but compare the actions of Indiana's GOP leadership and the minority Democratic leadership with the behavior of the leaders of both political parties in Washington, D.C.
Sen. David Long, Speaker Brian Bosma and Gov. Mike Pence need to realize Glenda Ritz won the election; get over it! Indiana Democratic House and Senate leaders need to forget Tony Bennett; he lost the election! Get on with the business of the people of Indiana.
What will it take for the voters in Indiana and in the United States to do something about the predominance of partisan, reckless spending and self-absorbed politicians who are masquerading as our leaders?

Camp Logan celebrates 85 years
When I was growing up in the '50s and '60s, the most important part of summer was Girl Scout camp. For two wonderful weeks each summer, my sister and I would return to Camp Ella J. Logan on Dewert Lake. We would meet lifelong friends, swim, camp and grow in diversity, fair play, communication and practical skills that would serve us well in our adult years.
For many women today, the words Girl Scout camp, Ella J or Logan bring back memories that are hard to put into words.
Camp Ella J. Logan turns 85 years old this year. The Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana Michiana Council is celebrating with lunch, camp tours and a sing-along from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Nov. 9. All are welcome. The cost of $20 will go toward camp improvements.
Reservations may be made by calling Leslie at the Girl Scout office at 1-800-283-4812, ext. 144.

Paper cant recognize principles
The Journal Gazette recently opined on the passage of the stopgap spending bill that reopened the federal government (Call him irresponsible, Oct. 18). The newspaper praised Sens. Joe Donnelly and Dan Coats for voting for a fat-laden spending bill and increasing the debt limit. It also castigated Rep. Marlin Stutzman for voting against this bill. I think The Journal Gazette has lost any ability to determine what is principled.
The bill that passed included $2.9 billion for the Olmstead Lock & Dam Project in Sen. Mitch McConnell's state of Kentucky. This is a 140 percent increase on a decades-old failed project that even Sen. John McCain disliked, saying, these people are like alcoholics. This earmark joins the ranks of other famous pork projects from Obamacare. Stutzman took a principled stand against government overreach and an out-of-control-spending Congress that will not include its members and the president in health care mandates and penalties.
I guess the Potomac stench floats all the way to the editorial board of the Journal Gazette, and its Wonderland attitude of up being down and right being wrong pervades the keyboards and laptops on Main Street.

Bun B - Let Em Know
Artist: Bun B
Producer: DJ Premier
Album: Trill O.G.
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 66 votes )
When a legendary emcee gets together with a legendary producer, the result is usually a letdown because expectations are impossibly high. However, there's absolutely no letdown in the works when Bun B teams up with DJ Premier for Let Em Know, a track off of his forthcoming album Trill O.G. Bun begins the festivities with a R.I.P. shout-out to the late and great Guru and then Primo jumps in, dropping one of those old school Gang Starr beats that remind you of the early '90s. From there both hip-hop vets showcase why they are still legends in the game: Premier flips a sample of Pimp C's voice to compliment the sharp percussion, and Bun goes hard on the beat, spitting a mixture of lyricism and aggression that offers proof of why he's one of the elite emcees in the game. Add in some classic Primo scratching and you'd be hard pressed to call this song a failure on any level. But I'm just one man, what's your verdict Booth readers? Does Let Em Know have you hyped for Trill O.G.'s August 3, release date?

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - WINK News has learned Lee County will look at possibly joining with Bonita Springs in providing ambulance service.
Bonita Springs Fire and Rescue workers came to a meeting of Lee Commissioners Monday wearing stickers advocating a take-over of emergency medical services.
Bonita believes it can respond more quickly to calls but Lee County would lose at least one million dollars a year if it gives up the service entirely.
Commissioners told their staff to come back with options to consolidate the two agencies and their services.

Transport Collection
Image: Grip Car - Cable Tram Model, Collingwood & Clifton Hill Route
Source: Museum Victoria
Transport has played a key role in the settlement and development of Victoria, helping to shape the form of our urban and rural landscapes and impacting on the everyday life of all Victorians for over 175 years.
The Museum's Transport collection aims to document historical developments in the types of transport used both within Victoria and between Victoria and other Australian or overseas locations. In particular it focuses on the nature of technological change, as well as the social impact and context of changing modes of transport. A particular emphasis of the collection is to record aspects of our transport heritage that are distinctively Victorian.
The collection commenced with ship models originally displayed in the 19th century international exhibitions. Through the 20th century the Industrial & Technological Museum and then the Science Museum acquired historically significant aircraft and vehicles with a strong Victorian provenance, including horse-drawn and early motor vehicles. A series of models was commissioned documenting the development of locomotives and rollingstock of the Victorian Railways. Many of the larger items also document significant milestones in Australian innovation or manufacture.
Significant items:
- Flight Memory (Black Box) Flight Recorder prototype.
- Duigan biplane, the first Australian-built aeroplane to achieve a successful powered flight.
- Aubrey Lock aero engine (1910), the 2nd oldest Australian aero engine; Gipsy Major aero engine (serial no.1, by GMH, Fisherman's Bend, circa 1939), the first aero engine mass-produced in Australia.
- Pre-1925 British, French and American aero engines.
- Wirraway aircraft.
- Prototype Victa Air Tourer.
- Gerald & Lorna Dee collection of railway locomotive and rollingstock builders' plates: an internationally significant collection of over 350 plates.
- Eric Quinlan Collection of over 100 locomotive plates.
- Victorian Railways uniforms, badges, equipment, union testimonials, watches and other memorabilia.
- 1/3 scale model of Victorian Railways C-class steam locomotive (built by apprentices).
- Polly tank locomotive Z-526: first steam locomotive built at Newport Railway Workshops (1893).
- Cable Tram No. 1 (1880), Melbourne's first cable tram, and related cable tram archives and artefacts.
- Nationally significant locally manufactured automobiles: including Thomson steam car (1898), Haines & Grut (circa 1909), Deliverette prototype (1947), Holden 48-215 (1950), Hartnett (1950) & Ilinga prototype sports car (1972). Also letter books and other archival material relating to Thomson Motor Co.'s attempts to manufacture cars in Melbourne (circa 1900-1903).
- Horse-drawn vehicles, including Abbott & Downing Concord Coach (1867), Hooper & Co. State Landau & State Coach (1890s), Melbourne-built Albert Car (1860s), Baillieu Brougham (1880s) and Victorian-built Cobb & Co Coach (circa 1880).
- Significant examples of 19th and 20th century bicycles: including Malvern Star Collection of 12 bicycles from the best-known Australian manufacturer; Sir Hubert Opperman racing bicycles and memorabilia.
- Ship models, including examples of important late 19th and early 20th century immigrant ships, coastal Australian shipping and the Port Phillip Bay steamers Edina, Weeroona, Hygeia and Ozone.
- Cowley traction engine (1916), Cowley steam roller (1930s), McDonald Super Diesel Roller (1925) and Super Sentinel Steam Waggon (circa 1925).
- Morris Commerical Bullion Van (circa 1935) used by the Reserve Bank.
