You start the day in the same rush as before. A quick cup of coffee is your body’s only consolation till lunch, and even then it’s the day-old donut you left in your desk drawer. Your boyfriend’s pretending he’s not getting your calls. And if you catch one more of your employees on Facebook during work hours, you’ll scream!\r\n\r\nI hear yah. But what if your whole life was different — or even just tomorrow? What would a perfect day look like?\r\n\r\nChris Guillebeau is the power behind the website Art of Non-Conformity. Therein you will find a manifesto that is titled to amuse, “A Brief Guide to World Domination.” The manifesto provides in part, a short summary of an exercise by marketing expert Paul Myers called “The Ideal World.” While Albert Einstein felt there was only one absolute question in the world, Paul numbered two:\r\n\r\n#1: What do you really want to get out of life?\r\n\r\n#2: What can you offer the world that no one else can?\r\n\r\nChris summarizes the exercise:\r\n\r\n<i>Think through your idealized, perfect day in great detail, beginning from what time you get up and what you have for breakfast all the way through what you do for each hour of the day and who you talk to. Then you begin to make plans to adjust your life to get closer to the perfect day you’ve designed for yourself.</i>\r\n\r\nWe have all heard “follow your bliss,” but question Number 1 works backwards from conventional wisdom. It looks at the moment when the credits roll.\r\n\r\nAuthor Don Miller, in his book, “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, How I Learned to Live a Better Story,” was forced to follow along with the exercise above when a studio decided to make a movie about his early life. Don confesses at the outset, up until that point that the screenwriters pulled up in his driveway, he had been using his royalties, without much exception, to watch “Oprah” at 5.\r\n\r\nHe hadn’t realized how low he had set the bar until the screenwriters began excitedly to rewrite his life story for themselves, while he fell silent on the sidelines. It was demoralizing to realize his life story wasn’t worth watching from the outside in — unless he changed it.\r\n\r\nDon did an inner inventory and asked himself questions much like the ones above. In the end he found himself motivated enough to work towards the goal of taking the sacred and 26-mile-long climb to Machu Picchu.\r\n\r\nWhat about your life? Is it worth watching on the big screen? Would you sit through the whole thing ... again? In the time you have left, what would you like your life to be about and what do you have to offer those you meet in this life of not-so-chance encounters?\r\n\r\nYou might wonder as you contemplate your reply: “Who am I to start a self-made revolution wherein I truly take my place in the grander scheme of things? I can barely chew gum and watch TV at the same time. And those are my favorite activities!”\r\n\r\nMore to come in Part II.', 'The grander scheme of things', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-grander-scheme-of-things', '', '', '2013-01-31 12:26:51', '2013-01-31 17:26:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9692', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Studies show participation in afterschool programs helps boost school attendance and academic performance and reduces gaps in academic achievement among children from disadvantaged households.\r\n\r\n“As a company founded on the Golden Rule, JCPenney has a strong legacy of giving back,” said Miki Woodard, president of JCP Cares and vice president of philanthropy at JCPenney. “We are firmly committed to organizations like the Y, which truly make a difference in their communities.”\r\n\r\nThe Wardle Family YMCA sees the benefits of this collaboration first-hand.  “The support of JCPenney enhances our efforts to serve as many children as possible with meaningful, high-quality afterschool programming,” says Kaylin Garst, YMCA Operations Director.  “By working together we can not only keep children safer, but also help provide them with lasting benefits, including healthier lifestyles, improved social skills and an enhanced academic performance.”\r\n\r\nIn addition to supporting local YMCA afterschool programs, JCPenney, through JCP Cares, named the Y as its featured charity for the month of January. JCPenney team members invited customers to round up their purchases in stores to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to the Y. These resources will support the Y’s national commitment to closing the achievement gap through three key programs: early learning, afterschool and summer learning.', 'Grant from JCPenney goes toward YMCA afterschool programs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'grant-from-jcpenney-goes-toward-ymca-afterschool-programs', '', '', '2013-02-06 21:13:05', '2013-02-07 02:13:05', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9775', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Glass is a natural element. The colors in glass are amazing.  As my family grew, everyone became involved.  My son Dante sold his first piece at 2 years old. My son Rylee, now 8, has also joined us as a artist. Both boys have a page in our 2013 catalog.  I owe my husband so much for his support and belief in me as an artist. With his encouragement, I believed in my ability to pursue my art career.  We currently wholesale our jewelry line to retailers, galleries and museums. In the last six months, we have expanded into wall art, bowls and platters.”\r\n\r\nTony attended the 2009 Academy Awards gifting suite with her jewelry and in 2011 she was a guest artist for the Teen Choice Awards. A gallery regular, Tony Cirico’s work is a not to be missed collection.\r\n\r\nWork by other artists including locals Sandra Smith AKA Renee, Diane Brittan-Dunham, Andrea Glover, Shirley Hunter, Alyne Harris, Demetric Denmark,  Ernest Lee, Charles Desuassure, and gallery owner Mary Mack will be creating special pieces that art patrons will surely love and want to collect.\r\n\r\nElayne Scott, gallery assistant and artist, believes and often tells visitors,  “Every South Carolinian should own work by artists such as Ernest Lee, who is an absolute icon in our world of the self-taught Southern artist.” Ernest Lee, the Chicken Man, has contributed some very unique “Chickens In Love” to the show.\r\n\r\nThe Red Piano Too holds the belief that art and love make the world a better place.  So come to the gallery to share love and the beauty that is art.\r\n\r\nThis exhibit is free and open to the public and will be held Saturday, February 9 at 870 Sea Island Parkway,  St. Helena Island, from 12 to 5 p.m.', '‘Love In Bloom’ at Red Piano Too', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'love-in-bloom-at-red-piano-too', '', '', '2013-02-06 21:21:22', '2013-02-07 02:21:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9793', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Then it hit me that our shared stories were so similar to many others shared by close friends, complete strangers and many women alike.  These days, unless you have crawled and live under a rock, most women have or have had some form of cosmetic or body aesthetic enhancement.\r\n\r\nNow, before we all go get out of sorts and quickly chime, “not me”, let me explain what I mean by “cosmetic” and “body aesthetic” enhancement. For starters, my beauty disclaimer of enhancements includes but is not limited to hair extensions, semi-permanent eyelash extensions, acrylic nails, color contacts, permanently designed cosmetic eyebrows, day-to-day wear concealer, foundation, eyeliner, blush, lipstick, lip gloss, a body shaper and high heel shoes.  No girl’s arsenal is complete without at least one pair of sexy heels to lengthen and lift the body frame.\r\n\r\nWith all my beauty secrets exposed and out there, my point is, and always will be, this: Whatever makes you look and feel good is all that matters. What and how you choose to do so is your business and yours alone. What you have, don’t have and can’t get concerning beauty is simply in the eye of the beholder and when all else fails, fake it ’til you make it. Until then, I’ve said it before and I will say it again, “viva la revolucion de beauty!”\r\n\r\nFor more information or questions and comments, visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques.com.', 'Fake it until you make it', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'fake-it-until-you-make-it', '', '', '2013-02-06 21:23:57', '2013-02-07 02:23:57', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9801', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Gurney wrote “Love Letters,” he created so much more than a story about a collection of letters exchanged between lifelong friends. Over 23 years after its debut performance, his Pulitzer Prize-nominated play is still connecting with audiences all over the world as the two characters in his play share their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats throughout their separated but shared lives.\r\n\r\nMelissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd, III, grew up together in upper-class comfort in the Northeast region of the country, always friends but never boyfriend-girlfriend. It is not until the end that they understand how their gifts of love for each other had profoundly affected them both. On stage, Melissa and Andy read their exchanged letters written over their 50-year relationship, beginning in the second grade when Andy sends Melissa a valentine and progressing through boarding schools, colleges, romances, marriages, and into late adulthood.\r\n\r\nMelissa, portrayed by Andrea Drake, is the irreverent “wild child” who struggles against the constraints of polite society from an early age.  Andrew, played by Larry Hill, is the disciplined and ambitious Andy, who excels in law school, joins the Navy, marries, enters politics and ends his career as a member of the U.S. Senate.\r\n\r\n“Love Letters” is a real valentine of a play that appeals to men and women alike with laugh-out-loud lines and an ending that will squeeze tears out of all but the stoniest hearts.  So come celebrate Valentine’s Day with your significant other at USCB Center for the Arts on Tuesday night, Feb. 12, for a “Sweets for the Sweet” reception at 6 p.m. and the show at 6:30 p.m.\r\n\r\nAll tickets are $15 in advance and at the door.  Call the Box Office at 843-521-4145 for more information.\r\n<div></div>', '‘Love Letters’ makes everyone a believer in love', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'love-letters-makes-everyone-a-believer-in-love', '', '', '2013-02-06 21:24:58', '2013-02-07 02:24:58', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9803', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Truth was, I had no idea what he was talking about. So I ran back to my mom and repeated the question. It was that day that I realized that I had to make a decision quickly. Will I be adorned on any given Fall Saturday in orange or maroon? Since that time I have chosen my alliance, but not wishing to lose any readers, I will not reveal my choice.\r\n\r\nAs I said in my last article, last week was Spirit Week at Beaufort Academy and Thursday was favorite college/sports team. I came to school in my “get-up” only to be greeted by almost five times as much Gamecock maroon than Clemson orange. Even the kids in the kindergarten were in their Carolina cheerleading uniforms and Gamecock jerseys. However, I entered the middle school building and turned to my right only to see little Miss Hope Gray taking pride in her tiger, paw print, orange attire. Every single person at Beaufort Academy takes as much pride in their college team as they do in their own school.\r\n\r\nAs much as the school was divided on Thursday, the next day — BA blue-and-white day — brought us all together, united in our allegiance to our school.\r\n\r\nThe ever-lasting maroon/orange feud is always fun whether you are in your game day dress in the first row at “Death Valley” or watching the Cocks pummel yet another opponent from your man cave at home. Either way, it is continuously enthralling to be a part of the game (and part of the trash talk).

We realized that there was something unique about our heritage and this area compared to anywhere else in the world. We recognized that the term ‘Gullah’ and all that is associated with it was not something to be ashamed of. Gullah was a tradition, a legacy, a custom, a culture, which needed to be respected, preserved and celebrated.”\r\n\r\nThe first Gullah Festival the friends put on was small; however, it quickly grew and its list of awards and firsts has only grown from there.  In the past 27 years, the festival was recognized by the South Carolina Parks Recreation &amp; Tourism Dept. as the “Most Outstanding Event or Festival of the Year” for towns the size of Beaufort.  It has  also been spotlighted on “60 Minutes,”  “National Geographic” and “The Today Show.” It was recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the “Top 20 Events in the entire Southeast.” The National Bus Association also named the festival among the Top 100 Events in the Nation.\r\n\r\nCharlotte said, “All of the accomplishments of the festival would not have been possible for the last 27 years if it had not been for the many dedicated workers who gave of their time and their efforts to be a part of something much bigger. They made everything work. I will forever be thankful to them. We recognized some of them last week at our second Brandyfoot Awards Gala.”\r\n\r\nAfter getting a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from A&amp;T State University and then completing her Masters of Education from Pepperdine University and USCB, Charlotte was introduced by a good friend to David Brown. Charlotte recalls, “It was love at first sight! And continues to be a wonderful marriage 30 years later.”\r\n\r\nHer husband, Colonel Brown, is the respected Chief of Staff for the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office where he has worked for more than 15 years.\r\n\r\nThe couple is proud of their three children — Rena Frances Brown, 40, Patricia Perez, 37, and William Bailey, 34 — and 9 grandchildren: Malike, Jourdin, Julian, Fernando, William, Emmanuel and triplets Justin, Jason and Jasmine.\r\n\r\nCharlotte worked as a teacher and administrator at Battery Creek High School  for 30 years where she was awarded “Teacher of the Year” and was the first African American female administrator. She’s also the immediate past president of the Beaufort Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta where she has been an active member for 43 years.\r\n\r\nSays Charlotte, “Because Beaufort is my home, I have always had an interest in the role of African Americans in the development, history and the future of this area.   I come from a large family and I have a strong sense of love for the family unit.   I believe that everyone must take an active role in the growth of our home because it is where we live and I am always proud of my home and my roots. My philosophy is that in order for your personal world to be better, you must take an active role in its development otherwise you will keep getting what you’ve got.”\r\n\r\nShe believes in the phrases: “Shake things up a little and step out on faith” and “With God on your side, all things are possible.”\r\n\r\nAbout the future, Charlotte says, “As president of the Gullah Cultural Alliance, I want to help lead the charge as the Original Gullah Festival evolves into something much larger and to help develop a much stronger Gullah presence in the community and the Lowcountry. I work very closely with the new festival director, Mrs. Sharon J. Millen, and the Executive Director of the Gullah Cultural Alliance Mr. Curtis Dansby to stay focused on our new direction of growth.”\r\n\r\nThe mission of the Gullah Cultural Alliance is to preserve the Gullah culture through education, arts and entertainment.\r\n\r\nThe group recently held its Brandyfoot Awards and Inauguration Gala at the Holiday Inn where Ms. Mikelle Chisolm was co-chair and Mrs. Phyllis Sullivan was Emcee. There, the Gullah Cultural Alliance Board members presented many awards and trophies. Their honorees were Rev. John Dortch for Community Service; Mr. Steve Curless for Humanitarian Efforts; St. LaSalle Vaughn (Posthumously) for Citizenship; Rev. Kenneth Hodges for Gullah Preservation; Mr. Jonathan Green for media recognition; and, Rev. Leonard Smalls for overall accomplishments.   Performers at the gala included Aunt Pearlie Sue, Mr. Scott Gibbs and the Eddie Pazant Quartet featuring Mr. Teddy Adams of Savannah.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to her beloved hometown of Beaufort, Charlotte says, “I love the sincere friendliness and kindness of the people who live here. I love that Beaufort still remains unique in appearance but also carries a sense of development. And I love that most people who live here, love Beaufort whether they were born here or just moved here a month ago and they demonstrate it and express it proudly.”\r\n\r\n<b> SAVE THE DATE: The annual “Original Gullah Festival” is to be held at Technical College of the Lowcountry from May 24 to 26, 2013.

Most syndromes or “dis-eases” begin long before we become aware of them and by then, one or more areas of the body are in exhaustion and exhibiting signs and symptoms. Some will ignore the message until it gets loud enough to seek help and some will go in search of  what is “wrong” or what needs to be fixed. Once a label or diagnosis is given, most will seek ways to fight it, kill it or “attack it from all sides,” all from outside influences.\r\n\r\nThe body does nothing wrong as it only responds to what we put in, on or around it. If these aren’t congruent to original design, the body has to work harder to figure out what to do with it.  Dis-ease is simply the body showing us that we are living out of balance and not in a state of ease, telling us to wake up and begin new ways of living in mind, body and spirit.\r\n\r\nHealth is a journey that often begins with a diagnosis, that moment in time where we either choose the role of scared victim or courageous victor. It can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. I am honored to work with folks who make a decision to do things differently, to choose their life experience, rather than fall prey to it. It’s not to say there isn’t a fear once there is a label attached to your health, of course there is.  But fear is just an energy rattling around inside and can be turned into fierce courage with just a simple shift of perspective.  There are countless resources available on how to turn every illness around and they all begin within, with a commitment to do things differently, to get the body back into a state of balance, allowing the brilliance within to begin reorganizing with a new energy so it can heal.\r\n\r\nWellness centers are associated with cancer and heart centers around the world for those who have survived and are on the other side of their illness. They all teach ways to eat for health, exercise for vitality, and to meditate to reduce stress.  So, why do so many wait for an event that could just as easily take them out of the game, to begin looking at what got them there in the first place ... their lifestyle?\r\n\r\nWe live and die on a cellular level.  All trillion cells are vibrating, filtering, and working hard to keep us alive.  Understanding this, we can ask ourselves, “What am I fueling these cells with?”  Processed foods or real foods grown on the land? Water or sugary soda? Am I giving them too much to manage at one time or am I slowly delivering it to them, allowing the time to process everything?\r\n\r\nI think of my cells as little people in there working hard and my job is to make it as easy for them as possible. It took the gift of an illness for me to wake up and begin thinking like this. I trust that my body is working hard for me, I may as well do my part by being a good steward and giving it what it needs to maintain balance. Have you received your “gift”?  I hope it has served you well.\r\n\r\nLive Well ...

(9831, 4, '2013-02-06 21:38:48', '2013-02-07 02:38:48', '<b>By Mark S. Siegel</b>\r\n\r\nA patient of mine recently asked me if he should stop his aspirin since he read an article about a study that showed that aspirin use may cause Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). (Never mind that this patient doesn’t have AMD, but does have a significant past medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.) The media has picked up this story and there have been a number of misleading headlines about aspirin and AMD. Some have been quite alarmist. While a recent study did reveal an increased risk of late AMD in people who took aspirin regularly, there is a lot more to the story. And, as they say, the devil is in the details.\r\n\r\nThe article that was recently published only observed a large group of people who were already part of an ongoing demographic study. In this case, it was the population of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, where the health of the residents has been monitored for decades.\r\n\r\nA review of 5,000 people in that study showed that aspirin users had a 1.4 percent increased risk of getting wet AMD as opposed to a 0.6 percent risk for those who did not take aspirin regularly. Only 10% to 15% of people with AMD develop wet AMD. When the risk statistics are applied to the population as a whole, the actual risk is minimal. It’s actually a very small increased risk.\r\n\r\nThere has never been a randomized clinical trial on the use of aspirin among people with macular degeneration. That would involve taking two groups of people and giving aspirin to one group and not to the other and recording their eye health over a long period of time. Such a study would give us a lot more useful information than an observational study.\r\n\r\nWe can say that aspirin use is <i>associated</i> with an increased risk of AMD, because both are happening at the same time. But we cannot say that aspirin use is a <i>cause</i> of the increased risk, for a number of reasons. One is that only a controlled clinical trial might give enough data to make such a statement and we don’t have that data now. Also, the age at which people start taking daily aspirin for heart health is about when early signs of macular degeneration can be seen. Heart disease and poor circulation are known risk factors for AMD. So, is it the aspirin or the heart condition that contributed to the development of wet AMD?\r\n\r\nDr. Barbara Klein, from the University of Wisconsin, is the lead author in the study. She noted that it requires more study and that the link between aspirin and AMD risk is not clearly understood. In the meantime, “One should not alter aspirin use based on these findings. It’s better to have blurry vision but still be here to complain about it than to die of a heart attack.”\r\n\r\nMake sure your internist and cardiologist know you have macular degeneration — and that your ophthalmologist knows you take aspirin for your heart.

Do you just use it to check out the news, weather, and email before heading to work? Would you like to get more out of your web surfing experience? Well, there are a bunch of awesome websites that allow you access to many different types of content. No matter what you are looking for (news, music, crazy videos) there is a website out there that has it. Here is a list of the best sites out there.\r\n\r\n<b>1.

When you open the site, you type in what genres of music you like or your favorite artists and Pandora creates a music playlist for you that you can listen to for FREE! It is great to play in the background when you are busy working on a project or to play around the house when you are cleaning. Pandora is a great way to learn about new music as well.

He has a new silhouette children’s book coming out in March called “Momma Lets Make a Moon.”\r\n\r\nCarew Rice’s work captures in simple black and white silhouettes the living essence of the untamed natural drama of the Spanish moss laden trees, birds, animals and colorful characters that populated the Lowcountry in the early part of the last century.  It’s amazing he did all these beautiful pieces with a simple pair of scissors.  Special thanks go to all the above and the <b>Gilbert Law Firm</b> and <b>Regions Bank</b> for making this wonderful exhibition possible.  Here are some photos from the opening reception.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9848\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Clay-Rice-Isabel-Reeves.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-9848\" alt=\"Clay Rice &amp; Isabel Reeves\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Clay-Rice-Isabel-Reeves-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Clay Rice &amp; Isabel Reeves[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9849\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Steve-Hughes-HBF-Executive-Director-Maxine-Lutz.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-9849\" alt=\"Steve Hughes &amp; HBF Executive Director Maxine Lutz\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Steve-Hughes-HBF-Executive-Director-Maxine-Lutz-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Steve Hughes &amp; HBF Executive Director Maxine Lutz[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9850\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Dennis-and-Mary-Beth-Cannady-with-Anne-Caughman.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-9850\" alt=\"Dennis and Mary Beth Cannady with Anne Caughman\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Dennis-and-Mary-Beth-Cannady-with-Anne-Caughman-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Dennis and Mary Beth Cannady with Anne Caughman[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9851\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Susan-Ford-Eleanor-Burns.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-9851\" alt=\"Susan Ford &amp; Eleanor Burns\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Susan-Ford-Eleanor-Burns-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Susan Ford &amp; Eleanor Burns[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9852\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Wayne-Melissa-Wicker.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-9852\" alt=\"Wayne &amp; Melissa Wicker\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Wayne-Melissa-Wicker-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Wayne &amp; Melissa Wicker[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div></div>', 'The opening reception for ‘The Art of Carew Rice’', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-opening-reception-for-the-art-of-carew-rice', '', '', '2013-02-06 21:58:17', '2013-02-07 02:58:17', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9847', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(9953, 4, '2013-02-21 10:24:29', '2013-02-21 15:24:29', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nA friend took his dogs, a Golden and a Lab, to the beach for an afternoon run in the surf.  A runner was approaching from a distance so my friend called his dogs to his side and had them sit.  When the runner saw my friend and his dogs waiting at the treeline, he turned and walked directly toward the trio, causing my friend some anxiety. These days you can’t assume a stranger is a benign entity. Within too-close-for-comfort range, the runner stuck out his hand. He did not speak to my friend, ask permission to approach or address the dogs.  In a split second the dogs were up, on alert and in another split second, nipped the runner in the calf, a definitive “back off, dude!” warning.  The authorities were called. But whose fault is it?\r\n\r\nWe know the importance socializing our dogs and are always on the lookout for opportunities to expose them to new experiences. But what about the well-meaning but inexperienced dog lover who rushes up to our dogs with no warning?  Or, my personal-horror-movie-waiting-to-happen, the squealing, flapping, unattended 3, 4 or 5-year-old charging at an unknown doggie?\r\n\r\nInvariably these good people make direct, unblinking eye contact, and step quickly and directly toward the dog while making high-pitched “ooh!” noises or in the case of the runner what could be perceived as a silent menace. They’ll walk up to the dog from the rear and enthusiastically rub her cute little bum. They’ll approach a dog by looking directly at her with arms extended and clap, clap, clap their hands or click their fingers right at the dog’s face. They’ll crouch over at the waist, outstretching their arms and very slowly slink toward the dog while looking directly into her eyes.  Or they’ll assume that because they love dogs, all dogs love them, too, and that they possess a special affinity for dogs and they with them, and therefore they can forego the formalities that ordinary humans should observe.\r\n\r\nDogs have their own language and protocols for meeting strange dogs (and people) and it’s high time we learned what they are. After all, it just doesn’t seem fair that the full burden of figuring out how to live with another species should fall entirely on our dogs. We need to hold up our end of the relationship by learning to politely greet a stranger.\r\n\r\nSo ... how do you greet a strange dog? Here are some do’s and don’ts:\r\n\r\nDo not approach an unfamiliar dog. Rather, pretend you are ignoring the dog. Dogs prefer not to be zeroed in on by strangers. Have you ever noticed how well-mannered dogs meeting for the first time turn their heads away from each other?  Ask the dog’s person for permission to meet their dog. Assuming they say yes, follow the steps below:\r\n\r\n1. Stay relaxed. You can yawn, put on an easy smile, or slowly blink your eyelids. Keep your body loose. All these signal to the dog that you are not a threat.\r\n\r\n2. Do not look the dog in the eyes. While eye contact signals trustworthiness to human Westerners, in the dog world it signals aggression or threat.\r\n\r\n3. Turn your body so you are not facing the dog. Again, being face-to-face is polite to most of us, but can signal threat or aggressive intentions to a dog. Notice how well mannered dogs greet – as they approach they make a half-moon curve as they pass each other and turn nose to butt.\r\n\r\n4. Stand straight or squat. Do not crouch over the dog. I doubt you want to be crouched over by a stranger and neither does your dog. It’s threatening and creepy.\r\n\r\n5. Allow the dog to come to you. Most dogs are naturally curious and they will let you know if they are interested in you. If not, don’t take it personally.\r\n\r\n6. If the dog shows interest by sniffing you with a relaxed posture, tail wag (not all dogs will wag and not all wagging is friendly), perhaps looking at you with soft eyes — then you can slowly offer the dog your hand (fingers in) for investigation.\r\n\r\n7. Let the dog sniff your hand, if she wants to, and then gently touch the dog on the shoulder, neck or chest, not the top of the head.\r\n\r\n8. The dog will clearly tell you if she wants more interaction or if she is finished with you. Listen to her.\r\n\r\n9. If at any time during the interaction the dog backs away, stop what you are doing.\r\n\r\nDogs will love you for it.\r\n\r\n<b>I’ll be doing a Real Food workshop Saturday, March 9, 1-3 p.m. on Distant Island.

(9859, 4, '2013-02-13 20:45:20', '2013-02-14 01:45:20', 'By Tracie Korol\r\n\r\nCurrently, a big name dog food TV commercial proudly announces that it now includes “more animal proteins!” claiming their space on the grain-free bandwagon.  It just gives me the heebie-jeebies. Why? They don’t tell you what animal.\r\n\r\nWhen I was in grad school I lived in a second floor apartment next to a butcher shop. On the only day I could sleep in, under the cloak of dawn darkness, a truck would park in front of my apartment and idle, loudly.  One day I made the mistake of pulling back the drapes to see just what inconsiderate beast was interrupting my precious sleep. I will never forget what I looked down into: an open bay semi-trailer full of random cow parts, viscous fluid, various bits of plastic and floating dead dogs and cats. The company was Inland Products, the rendering plant south of town.\r\n\r\nThis horror movie moment vanished into my memory banks for decades until I began studying animal nutrition. Then, the pieces began to fall into place. The words “animal fat” or “meat and bone meal” on the label of the food you’re feeding your Best Friend are products of a rendering plant. The pet food (and rendering industry for that matter) would have consumers think the rendering plants are full of plump chickens, fresh fish and healthy cows. Such images are routinely depicted on pet food packaging.  Not so.\r\n\r\nRendering provides an essential service: disposing of millions of pounds of dead animals. In 2004, on the heels of pet food consumer concerns of Mad Cow Disease, Congress requested an investigation of the rendering industry.  The report — compiled by Congressional Research Services — told members of Congress ... <b>“Renderers convert dead animals </b>and animal parts that otherwise would require disposal <b>into a variety of materials,</b> including edible and inedible tallow and lard and proteins such as meat and bone meal (MBM).2 These materials in turn are exported or sold to domestic manufacturers of a wide range of industrial and consumer goods such as <b>livestock feed and pet food,</b> soaps, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, plastics, personal care products, and <b>even crayons</b>.”\r\n\r\n“Renderers annually convert 47 billion pounds or more of raw animal materials into approximately 18 billion pounds of products. <b>Sources for these materials include </b>meat slaughtering and processing plants; dead animals from farms, ranches, feedlots, marketing barns, <b>animal shelters, </b>and other facilities; and fats, grease, and other food waste from restaurants and stores.” As fantastical as this sounds, logically, where else would it all go?\r\n\r\nWhile the rendering industry and even the FDA defends the practice of rendering deceased pets as the most effective way to dispose of the animals as another form of recycling — cremation costs are prohibitive; proper burial is out of the question; federal law prohibits the burial of euthanized pets in landfills — it is telling that none of the celebrated “benefits” seem to include nutrition for our Best Friends.  Perhaps the percentage of euthanization drug-tainted product is low in comparison to other ingredients in the kibble bag, but what is the impact of feeding our pets the exact same product every day, 2-3 meals a day for its entire life?  How much is that exactly when considered cumulatively?\r\n\r\nIsn’t this illegal? Yes and no. It is illegal per U.S. federal law for any food — animal or human — to be sourced from or contain any part of an animal that was not slaughtered.  However, the FDA has provided the animal food industries loopholes to avoid federal law. These loopholes are known as Compliance Policies. For instance: “POLICY:  No regulatory action will be considered for animal feed ingredients resulting from the ordinary rendering process of industry, including those using animals which have died otherwise than by slaughter, provided they are not otherwise in violation of the law.”\r\n\r\nWell, what’s a consumer to do?  For one, read the labels. If the words <i>meat and bone meal, meat meal, animal digest and/or animal fat </i>are included in the ingredient list — step away from the bag.  For two, consider — really consider — feeding your Best Friend food that you would eat.\r\n<div></div>', 'Rendered what?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'rendered-what', '', '', '2013-02-13 20:45:20', '2013-02-14 01:45:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9859', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Never did she have an unkind word; never did she meet a stranger. Her standard answer to “how are you” was “fine.”\r\n\r\nHer legacy will be her unending prayers, for those she knew, for those she didn’t know.

She prayed for the children of Grace and for the ministry. She prayed for the missionaries and their families.\r\n\r\nShe knew and prayed for State Representatives and for African pastors working in the bush with no food water or clothing.\r\n\r\nShe was a miracle in the flesh, having outlived all modern medical prognoses. The doctors gave her to the age of 33 years; God gave her to the age of 68 years. The last three weeks of her life she was a living breathing answer to prayer.\r\n\r\nShe was amazing. She was more than a homemaker, she was a prayer warrior and worker used by GOD in this world, as quoted by her son, “‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.’ This verse plasters itself on my thinking as I remember my Mom ... she indeed fought the fight of the Christian life, she finished unwaveringly the course The Lord gave her and she truly kept the faith!

We are, however, going to stay in South Africa again this week. I figured we should for this one more, very, very special wine. We’ll discuss bits of history, information on a new grape, a new winery — all the things that help us really appreciate our wines. Then, hopefully you’ll like this wine as much as I do.\r\n\r\nWe’re looking at South Africa but a different region this week, though. Paarl. For all practical purposes, this region, for the 20th century, was the  heart of the country’s wine industry. It is the home of KWV and the annual Nederburg Wine Auction. The Stellenbosch region is south of Paarl. Interestingly, there were several reasons why the center of South Africa’s wine business shifted to Stellenbosch from Paarl. Partly, it was the establishing of Stellenbosch University, specifically its great wine department. And, too, KWV in Paarl, while a large and very successful operation,  was a co-op and Stellenbosch, with its privately owned wineries, attracted more money and talent. In recent years, terroir-driven wines have gained importance in Paarl.\r\n\r\nOur grape variety this week is Chenin Blanc. Not one that many of us drink much of. But, maybe, that will change a bit this week. Chenin grape has quite a few different names, not all used now but you come across them sometimes.  One of its names, Pineau de la Loire, tells us where it came from. Chenin Blanc grapes have high acidity so they are well suited to all styles of wine — bubbly to dry to demi-sec (half dry, duh) to sweet and very sweet dessert wines and even fortified wines. It has a fairly neutral flavor base, which lets it clearly show both the terroir it comes from and its winemaker’s influence. From cooler climates, Chenin’s juice is sweet and very high in acidity and makes a full bodied fruity wine. In the unreliable summers of the Loire Valley, not completely ripe Chenin grapes make spectacular sparkling wines. (And, now, you know a piece of Champagne history, too!). In the Anjou (Yes, the pears of the same name originated here.) area of the Loire, Chenin may make some of its  best wines — dry wines with apple and quince flavors.  In Vouvray, a town in the Loire Valley, off-dry wines with honey and floral nuances are common. In the best vintages, the grapes are left on their vines, until the “noble rot” forms on them, and dessert wines are made.\r\n\r\nFrom its origins in the Loire, Chenin moved on to South Africa. It was probably included in the vine cuttings that Jan van Riebeeck with the Dutch East India Company took to the Cape Colony, in the 1650’s.\r\n\r\nBetween the Old World, the Loire Valley, and the New World, South Africa, there is a difference in the temperature that the winemakers use to ferment their Chenin grapes. For Old World style wines, where tropical fruit flavors are not as popular, they ferment at  warmer temperatures (60-68 degrees F).  For New World style wines, they use cooler temperatures (50-54 degrees F).  Longer, cooler fermentations augment a wine’s fruitiness. Also, New World styles of Chenin Blanc wines are treated with oak barrel aging far more frequently.\r\n\r\nIn South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely planted variety, about one-fifth of all the vineyard plantings. For centuries, from the time this variety arrived with van Riebeeck, it was known as “Steen.”  (But not stein, so no beer here.) It wasn’t recognized as Chenin Blanc until 1965, when DNA tests proved that Steen was actually Chenin. In the 1960s and early 1970s, Chenin Blanc was the main variety for the renaissance of South Africa’s white wine business. In the beginning, these wines were off-dry, clean and crisp, but fairly neutral in their flavors. Toward the end of the 20th century, though, some vineyard managers and winemakers started to specialize in growing and making Chenin. Their goal was to have Chenin wines that had all the wonderful flavors and textures as some of their expensive cousins from the Loire. Part of this trend included searching out and saving older plantings of the grape.\r\n\r\nAnd older vines gets us closer to this week’s wine.  Grape vines can grow for more than 120 years. It takes about three years for vine to produce its first grapes, and, after about 20 years, it starts to produce fewer grapes each year. “Old Vines,” for which there is no legal definition, produce fewer grapes but more intense and concentrated wines. Vines that are 30 or 40 years old can yield enough good grapes to make commercially available wines. Older than that, there are some made — like 100-year-old vine Zinfandel from California —but I am sure you can guess what happens to the price of a bottle as the age of the vines it’s made from gets older and older. Just because it’s a cool tidbit of wine information, there is a vine in Slovenia that has been alive since the 17th century. It makes about 100 mini-bottles of wine each year. In California, the oldest vine is an Amador County Zinfandel that was planted in 1865.\r\n\r\nFinally, now, we are at our winery. Tormentoso.  When Portuguese explorers arrived at the southern tip of Africa, in 1488, they called it Cabo Tormentoso, Cape of Storms. The word “tormentoso” means torment, struggle or drama, but we can get the basic idea. And, the name describes how the grapes grow also. The soil is rocky shale, but struggling vines make for better flavors in their wines. All Tormentoso wines are farmed without irrigation, not really the norm in South Africa, and the vines are not pruned and trellised like we’re used to.  These vines are left as bushes and the grapes are hand harvested. Tormentoso has more than 200 hectares (200 times 2.471 acres) of vines that are over 25 years old. The <b>Tormentoso Old Vine Chenin Blanc</b> is 100 percent Chenin, from vines that were planted in 1977. A small part of the wine is barrel fermented and some is aged on its lees for six months. Most of it is fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures. Yippee! Flavors galore. Apricots, peaches, and coconut, acidity, huge mouth-feel, long lingering finish in your mouth.  This wine is a  phenomenal Chenin Blanc. Even if you’ve never had a Chenin before, you might as well start with great.\r\n\r\nAnd, one more cute thing. Tormentoso’s label has a drawing of a sea creature on it, like old maps had. These were used to show areas of unknown danger.  But, lucky us, no unknown danger here. Just a great white wine for $13.99. Think of it for turkey dinners, ham dinners, seafood dinners, and, oh yeah, for fun because it tastes so good.

The framework pretty much forced the details of the perfect day beyond warm sand, a cool drink and an attentive lover.\r\n\r\nIt would be easy to avoid the exercise altogether, if you think that you’re not the sort of person who gets involved, or that you’re not cut out for a bigger part in the grander scheme of things then you already have — you’re no Joan of Arc.\r\n\r\nBut you don’t have to be.\r\n\r\nErwin McManus, who pastors a contemporary church in California, tells the tale of his wanting to create a sense, even at the outset, that his ministry was a part of much larger picture — even if all of his correspondence originated from a typewriter in the middle of his living room at the time. In addition, he found himself dreaming of that pastoral moment wherein he gave his finest sermon.\r\n\r\nThen one rainy afternoon while driving with his pregnant wife, they passed a homeless man whose cart of belongings had tipped over into a gutter flooding with rainwater. His wife shouted, “Stop!” She suggested with a pleading look that “they” get out and help the poor man. Erwin knew she means that “he” should get out and help the bum in the rain.\r\n\r\nThe rain slowed to dirty drizzle and in a state of disgust Erwin grimly helped the man pick up what Erwin describes as trash, and wet trash, at that. He tried to talk to the old man about Jesus, but his efforts were sullenly brushed aside. When he got back in the car, he saw his wife was crying. His first thought was that his wife was going to accuse of him of not doing the deed with a “good attitude.” Instead she said, “That was the greatest sermon you ever preached.”\r\n\r\nHe had hoped that inspired moment would add up to more, and it had. His random act of service on a rainy day became a story he would tell before thousands years later, because it was a pivotal juncture, among many, wherein he found his footing as a man with a finely tuned sense of humor and humility.\r\n\r\nBut what if you don’t want to wait for a pivotal moment “to happen” to you?

Like many women, I adore books about relationships and movies about romance — “Sense and Sensibility” and “Love Actually” are among my favorite movies (much to my husband’s chagrin).\r\n\r\nI used to fantasize about a Valentine’s Day filled with the typical sentiments of love: giant bouquets of roses, gourmet chocolates, a fancy night on the town. But as I’ve gotten older, I haven’t lost my romantic ideals, but I have become more practical. Spending the evening at home with my baby and husband sounds like a perfect way to celebrate V-Day.\r\n\r\nSo when it comes to gifts, this year I’m getting a new tankless hot water heater. The pint-size tank we have now takes up a whole cabinet in our kitchen; it might have worked when the house was built in 1939, but it’s way overdue for an upgrade. As my husband jokes, what more could a woman want than the ability to take a hot shower?\r\n\r\nIt’s actually a two-part gift: With the tankless water heater installed on the outside of the house, it will free up a big space in our small kitchen. In its place we plan on building a floor-to-ceiling custom cabinet, and the possibilities for this project are pretty exciting. There’s even been talk of a getting a new refrigerator, but I don’t want to get too ahead of myself. It might not be the most romantic gift, but I feel like one lucky lady.\r\n\r\nAnd in return, I’m giving my husband the gift of life. Because few things are more romantic than your needy, pregnant wife who can’t stay awake past 9 o’clock at night.\r\n<div></div>', 'What more could a woman want for Valentine’s Day?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-more-could-a-woman-want-for-valentines-day', '', '', '2013-02-13 20:58:35', '2013-02-14 01:58:35', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9881', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The location has allowed the organization that has supported arts in Northern Beaufort County for more than 20 years to become a thriving community arts hub.\r\n\r\nBut it wasn’t JW’s first successful art center to build. After graduating from college with a degree in theater and touring the world for more than 30 years, he became executive director of the Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, Morgan Arts Council where he renovated a 40,000-square-foot former apple cold storage building from the 1930s into an arts center. It helped Berkeley Springs get on the list of 100 best Art Towns in America. It’s also where he met his future wife, Jenny, who was also working on the Morgan Arts Council. Jenny was a big part in helping both Berkeley Springs and Beaufort’s community arts centers get started and grow. The couple found Beaufort because it was also listed as one of the 100 Best Art Cities in America.\r\n\r\nSays JW with a smile, “We decided to trade Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, for <i>this</i> 100 Best American Art Town.”  Although he says Jenny’s parents beat them to the area and moved to Port Royal in 2005, just before Jenny and JW arrived on the scene.\r\n\r\nARTworks is a full service community arts center and JW manages all aspects  of the 1,000-square-foot rotating gallery that includes nine artists studios as well as the 120-seat black box theater where they present theatrical productions, intimate concerts of folk and jazz as well as one person historical presentations and their signature Beaufort Intergalactic (BIG) Storytelling Festival.\r\n\r\nStorytelling troupes are part of JW’s “Building on our Past, Creating Our Future” program in which Beaufortonians are encouraged to tell their stories too, and not just four days a year at the BIG Story Fest. ARTworks is cultivating storytelling troupes based in schools, libraries and community venues. “Storytelling is an art form, an educational tool, the most powerful tool for effective communication,” JW says. “It’s a form of entertainment, a way to share history and culture. We are all storytellers.”\r\n\r\nBut whether teaching sixth graders at Beaufort Middle School how to become good storytellers, producing Street Music on Paris Ave in Port Royal or emceeing the BIG Story Fest, JW sees arts education as the one common denominator in his work..\r\n\r\nHe said, “Arts education is the overreaching element in my work. Even with the free concerts on the street that I produce for the Town of Port Royal, I expose our audiences to lots of different genres of music — the arts education is not overt but inherent in the process.”\r\n\r\nNashville native JW has seen up close how the arts can help enrich a community.  Something as simple as a street performance can bring magic and wonder to a desolate area.\r\n\r\nSays JW, “I was trained as an artist in university and as a touring artist I spent over 40 years touring the world performing at festivals, community arts centers, schools, as well as in Europe.” In fact, he paid for his European trip with money earned from passers-by as he entertained with juggling, magic, fire eating and comedy (his first experience with “arts funding”).\r\n\r\nToday he has to apply for grants to fund his far reaching projects.  But the basic fundamentals were learned on the street:  Always be entertaining, not boring (or the audience literally walks away).   And if the audience can’t come to you, go to them, thus his involvement in the Port Royal street concert series and the forays into local schools.\r\n\r\nARTworks is also an arts incubator and over the past four years they have had 30 clients — 10 of whom are operating their own stand-alone businesses in Beaufort. Of the other 20, only five are not currently working in the arts while the rest have moved on and are creating arts businesses all over the country from New York City to San Diego.\r\n\r\nSays JW, “This additional economic development work that we do is sometimes overlooked and I would like to bring it to peoples attention. The arts are important to attracting other businesses from other areas to come here. They are a quality of life issue and we are proud to be one of the driving forces for the arts in our community.”\r\n\r\nDoes JW have any regrets in committing his life’s work and energy to Beaufort these past many years? JW says, “As a touring artist, I remembered the amount of support for the arts here and thought it would be a good place to live. Little did any of us know that the economy would fail the way it has and that the govenor would be trying to eliminate the State Arts Commission which was once one of the best funded in the entire Southeast.”\r\n\r\nWhat’s JW got in the works for the future at ARTworks?\r\n\r\nSays JW with a big grin, “I’m excited about our new Beaufort Intergalactic Storytelling Festival! I hope everyone will join us for all the fun April 11-14. We offer so many arts events it is hard to single out just one. Visit our website and get the details on all the events, classes and workshops we offer.”\r\n\r\nCheck out their website at www.artworksinbeaufort.org and get the straight scoop on all the exciting events ARTworks offers or call 843-379 2787.', 'Executive Director JW Rone creates art that works', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'executive-director-jw-rone-creates-art-that-works', '', '', '2013-02-13 21:08:56', '2013-02-14 02:08:56', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9894', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(9896, 4, '2013-02-13 21:09:11', '2013-02-14 02:09:11', '<b>By Will McCullough</b>\r\n\r\nWhile the modern real estate industry uses a wide range of “checks and balances” to protect individuals from fraud, the common utilization of digital marketing in today’s world has opened the door to creative scammers, con-men and all around scumbags. While I personally have seen only a few blatant attempts at real estate related “scams” over the years locally, those few could have been utterly catastrophic to the unsuspecting potential victims. I was motivated to choose this topic for today’s column because my most recent related experience took place just last week and, as this specific scumbag initiated a scam I’d never seen or heard of before, I felt it important to share.  But, before I share the details, please allow me to reintroduce you to a few catchy sayings you may have heard before:\r\n\r\n1. Believe but verify.\r\n\r\n2. There’s a sucker born every minute.\r\n\r\n3. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.\r\n\r\n4. Don’t take any wooden nickels.\r\n\r\n5. Ask no questions, hear no lies.\r\n\r\nAll that being said, here’s what happened: I had a client who was looking for a rental property to reside in on Lady’s Island.  Deena and I normally don’t handle rentals but wanted to help this person.  Anyways, we were contacted by the client last week and they, apparently, had found the “perfect rental” on Lady’s Island via Trulia.com and asked if we could investigate it for them before they sent the owner their deposit.  Upon a little standard research, we found the home offered for sale in our MLS by a reputable local agent but not offered for rent. We thought that was odd so we then located the rental listing our client had found posted on Trulia.com. The contact number for the rental listing was a Chicago area code.  This sent up a “red flag”, I know the listing agent personally and he’s not from Chicago. We then tried to contact the listing agent but were unable to reach him. As it’s not totally unheard of for a person to attempt to rent a property themselves while simultaneously listing it for sale via an agent, we went ahead and called the number on Trulia.  I mean, come on, it’s Trulia right?\r\n\r\nAnd then it got weird ...\r\n\r\nWhen we called the number, an individual answered who allegedly spoke little English. They also had a really bad phone connection. There was enough clarity to eventually exchange email addresses and cell phone numbers for texting. I realized later that, despite my best efforts, he apparently thought I was a potential renter and not an agent.  Or he didn’t care. In hindsight, who knows? In any event, below please find an extremely condensed version of our two days of text/email conversations:\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> I have a client interest in renting your home. I will contact your agent directly.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> I am renting myself due to bad experience with Realtor and tenant.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> Renting myself. You don’t have to contact agent anymore.\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> How can we gain access to view the home?\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> Drive by tonight and look through windows.\r\n\r\n<b>Me: </b>How do we get the key to see inside?\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, sounds good. Send the $1000 deposit and I will send you keys.\r\n\r\n<b>Me: </b>My clients will not send a deposit until they have seen inside and have an executed lease.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, understand we need to trust but other people want my house too.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, my wife says we will take half deposit then send keys.\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> No, we will not send funds until we have viewed inside and verified ownership, etc.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag: </b>We are a God fearing family and treat others this way. Send half deposit and we send keys.\r\n\r\nThe above communication examples continued to repeat, varied slightly, in a frustrating circle, via email, text and garbled phone calls, for some time. I then finally received a response from the listing agent whom I’d contacted earlier. As it turned out, the property was not being offered for rent, only for sale.

This individual found the legitimate “for sale” listing of the property in question online.  He then created a bogus (and tantalizingly below market) “for rent” listing for the same property on Trulia.com utilizing the real “for sale” listing’s online pictures and details and was attempting to convince potential local renters to send a deposit to his Chicago mailing address after instructing them to simply drive by and “look through the windows”. He made this seem plausible and realistic by expressing his love of “Christian values” while simultaneously feigning a lack of mastery for the English language.\r\n\r\nIt’s OK though.

But what to change and where to start was the question. My wardrobe is as eccentric and eclectic as an eclipse, so that changed daily. Nothing drastic there would be notable. Then, looking in the mirror, it hit me. Changing my hair would offer the most room for obvious, dramatic change.\r\n\r\nLoving the look of my 20” lengthy locks, the first option to cut my hair was out of the question and quickly crossed off the list. After flipping through a few beauty magazines and surfing the web for some inspiration, I came across a ravishing hue of red that caught my attention. I pondered the option for a couple of weeks and even rallied suggestions from my Facebook friends, whether I should go blonde or red and the vote was unanimous for the red.\r\n\r\nNow a month in, and tons of compliments later, I am loving my new red head status and the instant change it has offered to my look. Though I can’t say color, especially as dramatic a change as mine, is the choice for all, I can say that any new look could be just the change you need. Whether it be color, a cut, extensions or curls, go for it!

(9909, 4, '2013-02-13 21:16:04', '2013-02-14 02:16:04', '<b>By Will McCullough</b>\r\n\r\nWhile the modern real estate industry uses a wide range of “checks and balances” to protect individuals from fraud, the common utilization of digital marketing in today’s world has opened the door to creative scammers, con-men and all around scumbags. While I personally have seen only a few blatant attempts at real estate related “scams” over the years locally, those few could have been utterly catastrophic to the unsuspecting potential victims. I was motivated to choose this topic for today’s column because my most recent related experience took place just last week and, as this specific scumbag initiated a scam I’d never seen or heard of before, I felt it important to share.  But, before I share the details, please allow me to reintroduce you to a few catchy sayings you may have heard before:\r\n\r\n1. Believe but verify.\r\n\r\n2. There’s a sucker born every minute.\r\n\r\n3. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.\r\n\r\n4. Don’t take any wooden nickels.\r\n\r\n5. Ask no questions, hear no lies.\r\n\r\nAll that being said, here’s what happened: I had a client who was looking for a rental property to reside in on Lady’s Island.  Deena and I normally don’t handle rentals but wanted to help this person.  Anyways, we were contacted by the client last week and they, apparently, had found the “perfect rental” on Lady’s Island via Trulia.com and asked if we could investigate it for them before they sent the owner their deposit.  Upon a little standard research, we found the home offered for sale in our MLS by a reputable local agent but not offered for rent. We thought that was odd so we then located the rental listing our client had found posted on Trulia.com. The contact number for the rental listing was a Chicago area code.  This sent up a “red flag”, I know the listing agent personally and he’s not from Chicago. We then tried to contact the listing agent but were unable to reach him. As it’s not totally unheard of for a person to attempt to rent a property themselves while simultaneously listing it for sale via an agent, we went ahead and called the number on Trulia.  I mean, come on, it’s Trulia right?\r\n\r\nAnd then it got weird ...\r\n\r\nWhen we called the number, an individual answered who allegedly spoke little English. They also had a really bad phone connection. There was enough clarity to eventually exchange email addresses and cell phone numbers for texting. I realized later that, despite my best efforts, he apparently thought I was a potential renter and not an agent.  Or he didn’t care. In hindsight, who knows? In any event, below please find an extremely condensed version of our two days of text/email conversations:\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> I have a client interest in renting your home. I will contact your agent directly.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> I am renting myself due to bad experience with Realtor and tenant.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> Renting myself. You don’t have to contact agent anymore.\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> How can we gain access to view the home?\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> Drive by tonight and look through windows.\r\n\r\n<b>Me: </b>How do we get the key to see inside?\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, sounds good. Send the $1000 deposit and I will send you keys.\r\n\r\n<b>Me: </b>My clients will not send a deposit until they have seen inside and have an executed lease.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, understand we need to trust but other people want my house too.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag:</b> OK, my wife says we will take half deposit then send keys.\r\n\r\n<b>Me:</b> No, we will not send funds until we have viewed inside and verified ownership, etc.\r\n\r\n<b>Scumbag: </b>We are a God fearing family and treat others this way. Send half deposit and we send keys.\r\n\r\nThe above communication examples continued to repeat, varied slightly, in a frustrating circle, via email, text and garbled phone calls, for some time. I then finally received a response from the listing agent whom I’d contacted earlier. As it turned out, the property was not being offered for rent, only for sale. As a matter of fact, the owner had yet to even move out and was still living in the home.\r\n\r\nHere’s what happened in a nutshell. This individual found the legitimate “for sale” listing of the property in question online.  He then created a bogus (and tantalizingly below market) “for rent” listing for the same property on Trulia.com utilizing the real “for sale” listing’s online pictures and details and was attempting to convince potential local renters to send a deposit to his Chicago mailing address after instructing them to simply drive by and “look through the windows”.

Kim is a performer too, and is bringing her character to the stage at ARTworks this month: share in Emma’s childhood antics, love, sorrows, Civil War experiences, and ambitions. Poovey has reenacted many Victorian roles and she has the ladylike wardrobe to prove it. Here’s what she has to say about her storytelling journey:\r\n\r\n<b>How did you get started in storytelling? </b>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_9916\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"171\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Arts-Kim-Poovey-bw.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-9916\" alt=\"Kim Poovey\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Arts-Kim-Poovey-bw-171x300.jpg\" width=\"171\" height=\"300\" /></a> Kim Poovey[/caption]\r\n\r\nStorytelling for me was serendipitous. I was living in N.C. and terribly homesick for the Lowcountry. The kids I worked with at a before/after school care program began asking about a trip my boss was taking to Charleston. After sharing the beauty of the area, I shared stories of Beaufort, specifically ghost stories. One thing led to another and before I knew it I was sharing “Great Expectations” in storytelling form with the group. Needless to say my storytelling progressed from there including participating as a ghost tour guide for the annual ghost tours of Beaufort to benefit CAPA to traveling the Southeast performing as different characters like Jane Austen, Scarlett O’Hara, and the main character of my novel, Emma Victoria Brown.\r\n\r\n<b>Who are your storytelling influences? </b>\r\n\r\nMy parents were a great influence on me as a storyteller. My mother read stories to us every night. She used different voices for each character leading me to believe it was the way everyone did it, so when the opportunity came for me to share stories with children I did the same. My father told Edgar Allen Poe stories at my slumber parties as entertainment. How many kids can say they not only were entertained with ghost stories at a slumber party but also got a literature lesson at the same time?\r\n\r\n<b>How do people react to your Victorian character?</b>\r\n\r\nPeople have responded affectionately to Emma Victoria Brown and her family. I have traveled throughout the southeast for nearly eight years now sharing her life with audiences. I have watched them shed tears over Emma’s losses and laugh at her crazy antics. Many attendees have shared that some of Emma’s childhood stories took them back to their own childhoods when times were simpler and carefree. Others have shared that they felt as if they were actually there with Emma experiencing everything being described. Most people ask if Emma is real. My response is always the same. I suspect that somewhere in history Emma and her family existed but was anonymous to the world. God gives me all of my stories, perhaps it’s His way of memorializing this family.\r\n\r\n“Truer Words, a Novel &amp; Event by Kim Poovey” is a performance on February 15 &amp; 16 at 7:30 in the black box theater at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street. www.artworksinbeaufort.org, 843-379-2787.', 'True words and hoop skirts', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'true-words-and-hoop-skirts', '', '', '2013-02-13 21:17:57', '2013-02-14 02:17:57', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9915', 0, 'post', '', 0),

With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. On Thursday, February 14, 2013, V-Day’s 15th anniversary, Lowcountry residents will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world as they express their outrage, demand change, strike, dance, and rise in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end to violence against women.\r\n\r\n“When we started V-Day 14 years ago, we had the outrageous idea that we could end violence against women,” said V-Day founder Eve Ensler. “Now, we are both stunned and thrilled to see that this global action is truly escalating and gaining force, with union workers, parliament members, celebrities, and women of all backgrounds coming forward to join the campaign.”\r\n\r\nCODA (Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse), Hope Haven, and the Technical College of the Lowcountry will be holding a dance exhibition and community awareness event on February 14.  Join them on the Beaufort campus, outside of Building 12, at 1 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Everyone was raving about the fantastic food and lovely decor. A big “job well done” goes to Co-Chairmen <b>Mary Lee and George Grove, Rick Toomey and Dr. Linda Hawes</b> along with Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s <b>Alice Moss</b> and <b>Brenda Molony</b> and their staff for so elegantly bringing to life Beaufort’s largest charity event of the year.  The foundation is earmarking the proceeds from this Valentine Ball for Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Program. This comprehensive program focuses on health and wellness in our community offering a variety of disease management programs, community education, outreach services and fitness. The LifeFit Wellness Center is a full-service, medically supervised fitness and wellness center that, thanks to money raised at this event, is being significantly expanded as it relocates to the new facility now under construction across the street from the hospital. Big thanks to all the ticket buyers and volunteers for the ball for helping make Beaufort a healthier place to live. Here are some pics for you.

Then in April 2012, I became a chamber staff member with this program as one of my responsibilities.\r\n\r\nI love volunteering and giving back to our community.  I have slowed down a lot on what I do, but have enjoyed every minute of it.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: Describe one of your most memorable experiences as a volunteer. </b>\r\n\r\n<b>A: </b>Three years ago we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Leadership Program with a party. People came back to Beaufort from all over the country for the reunion, and those that couldn’t come shared comments on how the program had impacted their lives.  It touched my heart to hear all their stories and reunite with so many.  Beaufort (and the world) have benefitted from the commitment of so many of our graduates and they have improved the lives of the citizens of their communities.  What a wonderful group of people that I have been fortunate to get to know and work with.\r\n\r\nSeveral years ago my youngest stepdaughter Catherine went through the program. I was very honored that she thought enough about something I was involved with to do it also.  And she was a great asset to her class that year since she had grown up in Beaufort.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: When not volunteering, what other activities do you enjoy?</b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> Fishing and boating with my husband Eddie and spoiling my grandchildren. Plus I love to read!\r\n\r\n<b>Q: What do you like best about Beaufort?</b>\r\n\r\nA: The people here are so very friendly and have the warmest hearts.    We are very blessed to have such wonderful volunteers helping out in so many ways.  And the coastal living can’t be beat.  I love the smell of the salt air and the pluff mud — and miss it when I am not in town.\r\n\r\n<b>This Volunteer Spotlight portrait was taken by Captured Moments Photogrpahy at 509-B Adventure St., Beaufort SC 29902. 843-379-0223,</b>\r\n\r\n<b>www.capmom.com.

(9962, 4, '2013-02-21 10:29:47', '2013-02-21 15:29:47', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nJust so you know, the name of our winery this week actually translates to “pretty winery.” It’s nice to think about, and, of course, tasting the wines is nice to think about too. We’re in Argentina this week. For three wines — a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Chardonnay and a Malbec. (We can’t do Argentina without doing a Malbec.) But, as you’ll see, all three are really good and different from others we’ve tried.\r\n\r\nAs more and more wines become available from this country, more styles of more grapes become available. When you think about it, the expanding availability of any region’s or country’s wines opens all kinds of doors for those of us willing to explore them (that means taste and drink). Lucky us!\r\n\r\nThe Arizu family is responsible for our wines this week. In 1901, Leoncio Arizu founded Bodega Luigi Bosca. Currently, the third and fourth generations are managing the winery. This makes them one of the few in Argentina that is still owned and operated by the founding family. This long record makes Luigi Bosca a paradigm in Argentina’s wine industry. Closely tied to their land and their vines, they have worked for more than 110 years to make wines that are true expressions of Argentina and their grape varieties. (It seems that most wineries and winemakers follow this direction also, but few are as true to their sources as this bodega.) Four generations have concentrated on global expansion, a reputation based on expertise passed down from one generation to the next, sustained quality in all their wines and the perpetual search for excellence through innovation and state-of-the-art technology. In the world of super premium Argentine wines, Bodega Luigi Bosca is a leader. In particular, in the last 15 years, they have offered wines that express the essence of Mendoza terroir and people and traditions. Every day for this family is a blend of their past and their future, always changing and always moving forward.\r\n\r\nIn the region of Mendoza, Luigi Bosca owns seven wine farms. “Finca” is a Spanish word that means property, estate or farm. Or, more loosely, it can mean winery. One of these seven is La Linda. And what does “la linda” mean in Spanish?  The pretty one. So our wines this week, labeled Finca La Linda, come from the pretty winery. The climate at Finca La Linda is similar to that of the other six farms. Chilly evenings in the spring, warm days and cool nights during the summer, early frosts in the fall and harsh winters make for a particular micro-climate, well suited to wine grape growing.\r\n\r\nThe Vistalba Valley, where La Linda is located, has soil with alluvial deposits of white and red clay and fairly steep slopes which give the vines excellent drainage. You might remember, way back at some point, we talked about organic growing in our country’s vineyards. At Luigi Bosca,  the biodynamics of lunar cycles are used for some versions of some grapes, like Malbec. Planting when the moon is waning helps to strengthen a vine’s roots. And harvesting when the moon is waxing yields better fruit. And, vines never grow alone in a vineyard at this bodega. Olive trees and chestnut trees keep them company. Finca La Linda is located at about 1,000 meters elevation. Some experts claim this land was once covered by sea water.  (Yikes, a really high tide!)\r\n\r\nThe different varieties of grapes planted at La Linda, and the other six farms, came from Europe at the end of the 19th century. Today, the varieties chosen for each farm are the result of years of learning which grapes made the best wines where. Over time, there was much inter-mixing of clones, all leading to sturdier and more distinctly Argentine grapes. These wines are now exported to over 50 countries, about 60 percent of their total production. That leaves them with a strong presence in their home country too.  And, if you’re lucky enough to fly on the right airlines, you can enjoy Luigi Bosca wines.\r\n\r\nAnd, now, let’s talk wine. For a change, let’s go in reverse alphabetical order. That means Malbec, which makes sense because it is Argentina’s wine of renown. As we said a bit earlier, as more and more Malbecs find their way to us, it is fun not only to notice there are real differences between them, but that we really like some better than others.  The<b> Finca La Linda Malbec</b> is 100 percent Malbec, from several of the Bosca farms. The vineyards are 30 years old.  Grapes are hand picked, de-stemmed and picked over, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Remember, cool fermentations bring us lots more fruit flavors in our glasses. Then, the wine is barrel aged for a few months. We get a medium-bodied, smooth-textured wine with plum, dark berry flavors, chocolate (more like cocoa powder to me), and light smoke notes. This wine will go with beef, or course, but it’s also great with game birds and duck, seafood and so much more.\r\n\r\nThe <b>Finca La Linda Chardonnay</b> is a surprise all around. No oak!  Again, it is from 30-year-old vineyards and 100 percent its variety. After careful selection and de-stemming, these grapes are chilled for four hours before pressing and cool fermented with selected yeasts. It has intensely fruity aromas (green apple, white peach, pear) and long lingering flavors on our mouth. The acidity is crisp but not biting. I suspect, for some of us, we have just found our new favorite sipping white wine.\r\n\r\nLast, but not least, the<b> Finca La Linda Cabernet Sauvignon.</b> Like our first two wines, this is also one hundred percent Cab, from thirty year old vineyards, hand picked, de-stemmed and cool fermented in stainless steel tanks.  Like the Malbec, it is aged in barrels for three months. Blackberries, black pepper and mulberries lead the list of flavors here, and, my favorite, a hint of baking spices.  Soft in your mouth in the beginning, moderate tannins do show up. Also a red meat wine, I think this is a good wine with much more. Like Sunday afternoon while it gets dark outside?  Yes, perfect.\r\n\r\nSo, there we are. Three pretty wines from the pretty winery. And pretty easy to enjoy pretty often. Each of them is $10.99, a pretty good price. The only problem is how much wine it will take us to keep ourselves pretty happy and feeling pretty good. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Pretty winery, pretty wines', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'pretty-winery-pretty-wines', '', '', '2013-02-21 10:29:47', '2013-02-21 15:29:47', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9962', 0, 'post', '', 0),

They are looking for gently used formal and semi-formal dresses for young women who wish to attend their high school prom in Beaufort County but may not be able to afford a dress. All sizes, lengths and styles are appreciated.\r\n\r\nThe mission of the JSLB Prom Boutique is to promote the confidence and self-esteem of the young women of Beaufort whose families have been affected by these hard economic times. The purpose of the project is to provide a gown and coordinating accessories free-of-charge for these young women to wear to the prom.\r\n\r\nThe JSLB Prom Boutique is also, in large part, about rewarding these young women for staying in school and being good citizens. The aim is to communicate that no woman is bound by social or economic circumstances and that they can achieve whatever they wish; that for them the possibilities are endless.\r\n\r\nWith the help of the community and school administrators, the Junior Service League of Beaufort will invite girls to attend the JSLB Prom Boutique from 2 to 6 p.m., at the Academy of Career Excellence, 80 Lowcountry Drive, in Ridgeland, where the girls will have the boutique to themselves to try on as many dresses as they want with a friend or family member. All that is required for access to the one-day event is a student identification card from girls attending public high school; a note signed on school letterhead by a teacher, guidance counselor or school administrator from girls attending a private school; and all girls are invited to bring one friend or family member with her to the prom boutique to help her pick out the perfect gown.\r\n\r\nJSLB envisions this project as an uplifting way to give a Beaufort County student the opportunity to enjoy her prom, and we greatly appreciate the participation and support of our friends, families, and fellow Beaufortonians. JSLB is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and enriching the lives of women, children, and families in the community.\r\n\r\nThe following drop-off sites are available to collect donations of new and gently used semi-formal and formal dresses, prom gowns, bridesmaid gowns, special occasion shoes, handbags, costume jewelry, and accessories: Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort on Lady’s Island, or Sea Island Ophthalmology in Beaufort. JSLB will also pick up dresses and accessories in Savannah, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Walterboro and Charleston. Tax donation forms are available at drop off locations or by request.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the 2013 JSLB Prom Boutique or to schedule a pickup of items, call 843-566-4686 or go to www.jslbprom.com.', 'Calling all dresses!

(9973, 4, '2013-02-21 10:40:51', '2013-02-21 15:40:51', 'In 2005, a small group of St. Peter’s School Dads decided to throw an oyster roast and try to raise some funds for their children’s school. The athletic department needed equipment and uniforms but as is often the case with private schools, these items were not in the budget.  That first oyster roast was held in early March at “Palms on the Parkway” and was a huge success.  That was then ...\r\n\r\nA tradition was born and an oyster roast and microbrew festival has been held every year since. Each year, the school leadership presents the committee with a wish list of needed items that are not typical budget items.\r\n\r\n“The whole intent of the fundraiser,” said founder Douglas Massalon, “is to be able to fund something special each year, something that could not otherwise happen.”\r\n\r\nSome of the items that have been purchased include an outdoor basketball court, drama stage equipment and lights, and Promethean Boards for each classroom. Teachers are able to submit “mini-grant” applications to the committee to fund smaller items that would enhance their classroom environment. Projector microscopes and interactive curriculum sets are examples of these items.\r\n\r\nThe Oyster Roast Committee has a loyal core group that has been together since the beginning.  They commit themselves each year to planning an event that will contribute to the student experience at St. Peter’s. “This is a great event for the entire community. Our goal is for everyone to have fun!” says committee member Matthew Hurtt.\r\n\r\nFun is indeed the recipe of the day, starting with a 5K race through Port Royal at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 2. Sign up at active.com or at Palmetto Running Company.  Get $10 off admission to the main event with your registration.\r\n\r\nThe festivities continue that day at 1 p.m. in Live Oak Park with the Steppin’ Stones band from Hilton Head, made up entirely of youngsters. Enjoy lots of oysters, sample some microbrews, bid at the silent auction, and then gear up for the big live auction.  There is literally something for everyone, with a free and secure children’s area, too.  Kids under 14 are free.  “This is our way of encouraging families to attend the event.  We don’t want folks to worry about a babysitter.  We keep the kids occupied and safe” said Mike Brock, who has developed the children’s area into an attraction of its own.\r\n\r\nThis is a fundraiser, so sponsorships are available and appreciated.  The committee will hang your company or organization banner at the event if you are a sponsor.  Tickets to the event are available at the school office and at Bill’s Liquors and Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.\r\n<div></div>', 'Oyster roast and microbrew benefits St. Peter’s ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'oyster-roast-and-microbrew-benefits-st-peters', '', '', '2013-02-21 10:40:51', '2013-02-21 15:40:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=9973', 0, 'post', '', 0),

He has frequently appeared as a recitalist and also as an accompanist for the Sea Island Chamber Singers.\r\n\r\nRobert Schumann was born in Germany in 1810,  23 years before his countryman, Johannes Brahms.  Both men were strongly influenced by the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, also a native of Germany. These three composers, all born in Germany, were giants of the mid-19th century musical world. While Schumann looked ahead, firmly embracing the Romantic Period, Brahms preferred the musical form of the Classical Era, that of Beethoven.\r\n\r\nSchumann is considered to be one of the most celebrated composers of the Romantic Era. He wrote four symphonies and many works for the keyboard.\r\n\r\nIn addition to Brahms’ four symphonies, he composed the German Requiem. Despite the joy he found in writing music, he worked on his first symphony for 20 years before its completion in 1876. However, his Symphony #2 in D Major was written in just over a year. The audience will delight in hearing this work of lovely melodies spun from a few simple themes.  The mood of its four movements, whether fast or slow, can be described as gentle, kind, optimistic, and filled with inner peace which falls beautifully on the ear.\r\n\r\nTickets are $37.50 for Thursday Evening and Sunday Matinee.

School is school, students hate Mondays and yearn for Fridays, and by nature will procrastinate to the extreme. While I was thinking about a topic for this week’s article, I had to gear up and put my thinking cap on a day early because my week didn’t start until Tuesday, thanks to President’s Day. Who really wants to do work when there is no school tomorrow? Somehow I gathered up my intrinsic motivation because isn’t that really the ultimate theme of attending school, to do that which will prepare us for an indefinite reward in the future with very little immediate gratification?\r\n\r\nSo what really motivates us to get up on a Monday morning, pack that heavy backpack and get ready for that long seven hour day ahead of us? The fact remains that every little calculus problem, memorization of war dates and biology experiment allow us to get to senior year and be able to look back on kindergarten and reminisce on how far we have come since learning how to neatly print our names.\r\n\r\nAs a senior, it is hard to relate to underclassmen (especially middle-schoolers) the importance of being earnest in studies in order to be able to graduate successfully so as to have the ability to choose a desired future path. Through these words of guidance, seniors are just trying to show how learning the basics will be needed to learn more abstract concepts in years to come. Whether their future lies in freshman year algebra or biostatistics in medical school, one plus one is always going to equal two.\r\n\r\nSo what am I trying to say about school? About life? No matter what, we all need the internal motivation to go to our first period class, that early work meeting, or that 5:45 a.m. spin class because we all know that it will reward us sometime in the future. I doubt I knew that in eighth grade going to school each day and learning with my fellow classmates about algebra or World War II would eventually shape who I am, my bonds with friends and teachers, and help contribute to the accumulated knowledge that I will pack with me on that ever-approaching road to college.\r\n\r\nFinally, just to give everyone something to think about, a man by the name of Tom Bodett once wrote, “In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.”\r\n\r\nWell said, Bodett, well said.\r\n<div></div>', 'School. Escuela.

Our Time: A Celebration of African-American Rhythm, Song and Dance.”\r\n\r\nI wasn’t really sure what to expect. I have to confess, since I didn’t grow up here, I don’t have a strong connection to the schools. But every time I visit one I am impressed by the hard working educators and the engaged students — and my trip to St. Helena Elementary was no exception. Actually, I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the performances, the talented students and the spirit of the message.\r\n\r\nAt the opening, Miss Merriam Browne, the Mistress of Ceremony, reminded the crowd that this is a chance to celebrate history and culture and to show everyone what makes their school great. “We do have something to be proud of at St. Helena,” she said to a room of cheers.\r\n\r\nThe fourth graders, directed by Miss Hannah Lea, started off on stage with “We Haz Jazz.” Then the school’s Gospel Club took to the stage and three fourth grade singers wowed the audience with their beautiful voices.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort High School Umoja Ujima Step Team also gave a special performance. Their dancing and style is truly awesome.\r\n\r\nThen the Beaufort High Infamous 843 Drumline stole the show with their rhythm and infectious beats. The younger students loved it, and at one point I looked back and smiled to see the bleachers alive with little dancers.\r\n\r\nI thought back to my school days and tried to recall an assembly that was filled with so much interaction and enthusiasm. Our programs seemed sterile in comparison.\r\n\r\nThe students at St. Helena Elementary have much to be proud of. And they should embrace the closing remarks from Principal Kay Keeler: “This is our moment, let’s claim it.”\r\n\r\nCongratulations to the St. Helena Elementary School Black History Month Committee for organizing such a meaningful program, and a personal thank you to media specialist Deborah Martin for letting me be part of it.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10002\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/St-Helena1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-10002\" alt=\"Fourth graders present “We Haz Jazz,” directed by Miss Hannah Lea.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/St-Helena1-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Fourth graders present “We Haz Jazz,” directed by Miss Hannah Lea.[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'St. Helena Elementary: Our Moment, Our Time', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'st-helena-elementary-our-moment-our-time', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:03:40', '2018-07-12 15:03:40', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10001', 0, 'post', '', 0),

All of your programs (Antivirus, games and word processors), emailed documents, and anything that you get from the Internet are brought into your system through downloading. Sometimes, things come with the files that you are downloading — like programs that you didn’t want or even viruses. The way that these programs “sneak” their way into your computer is clever and can end up causing your computer to slow down or act up in bad ways if they are not legitimate programs. Here are a few things you can watch out for to protect yourself from unwanted intruders.\r\n\r\n<b>Read your email carefully:</b> Billions of emails are sent every day. There are bound to be a few spam files that make it into your inbox. Even if the email looks real or if it is sent by someone in your address book, be sure to look it over thoroughly. If something looks suspicious, DON’T OPEN IT. Thousands of computers are infected every day through email. Usually a second look is all it takes to stop an infection.\r\n\r\n<b>Check where the link is taking you: </b>Most people don’t know this but if you are about to click on a link to anywhere in the Internet, you can hover over the link and the destination will show up in the bottom of the screen. This can save you a lot of trouble in the long run. Let’s say you are downloading OpenOffice (a great, free alternative to Microsoft office) on a random download site and you are about to click on the “DOWNLOAD NOW” link. If you see an address that looks completely random, don’t click on it. Usually, if you are on sites that offer free software, it is full of fake links that lead to malicious programs. This leads me to my next tip ...\r\n\r\n<b>Download from trusted sources: </b>There are a lot of websites out there that claim that they have free software and other things that will help your computer when on the contrary, they do nothing but harm your PC and can cause a whole mess of trouble. If something on the Internet seems too good to be true, it most usually is. You want to make sure that when you are downloading a program, it is from the developer’s site or a trusted site like CNET.com.\r\n\r\n<b>While installing, read every page carefully:</b> Programs sometimes like to hide inside the installer of other programs. While installing a program, make sure only the check marks that you are wanting are the ones that are checked. If there is another program that is wanting to be installed along with it (Mcafee is notorious for this) make sure you “uncheck” the “install this” mark.\r\n\r\nIt is very easy to become infected while downloading programs and email attachments into your computer, But, it is just as easy to protect yourself. Just be sure to keep a watchful eye on everything that you are bringing into your computer. If something looks suspicious, stay far away. Just be proactive and you will save a lot of headaches in the future!', 'Dangers of downloading', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'dangers-of-downloading', '', '', '2013-02-21 11:05:03', '2013-02-21 16:05:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10004', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Although writing for me is like a warm pair of slippers on a cold day, it takes a collection of quiet minutes that recently have been rare. Scowls, scorns and attacks of unsuspecting interrogation while in the produce section of Publix have gently urged me to sit for more than 2.5 seconds and attempt to write my column.\r\n\r\nNot one of my sincere explanations can justify my extended absence, but it has been quite the ride. Comforting as it would be to splatter my experiences in black and white for coffee consuming contemplation, time is precious and fleeting therefore a list seems awkwardly appropriate.\r\n\r\n<b>1. Some people change careers:</b> It happens, y’all. It is not cause for bouts of anger, fits of fury or endless dialogue. Routines are for dancers, not for women with big hair and short attention spans.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Fabric steamers are Satan’s first cousin:</b> No, I didn’t read this in Genesis, but I believe it to be true. My past with power tools did nothing to prepare me for this wicked water-wielding weapon of mass destruction. It may reduce wrinkles in clothing but it does nothing for those on my forehead.\r\n\r\n<b>3. Men are confused:</b> Able to describe more than 100 complicated plays during one single quarter of football, most men are simply unable to accurately describe their wife’s preference or size in clothing. Strong, dark and handsome immediately becomes strange, deaf and helpless when it comes to female fashion. It is quite remarkable.\r\n\r\n<b>4. Women’s dressing rooms are small torture chambers: </b>Sailors would blush at the horrendous phrases thrown about behind curtain number one. Small seemingly sweet women become fire breathing dragons when facing fashion’s unpredictable sizing.\r\n\r\n<b>5. Women are nicer when my husband is around:</b> This strange phenomenon has actually kept me up at night (or maybe it is the 22 cups of coffee). From Self-hating Sally to Sweet Southern Sugar, women are well behaved in the company of my hubs — all women except for his wife. He calms the masses as if he is the Pied Piper.\r\n\r\nOh, the stories I can, and will tell once the onslaught of the minute to minute panic of starting a new business subsides. The world of women is full of fabulous fodder, odd occurrences and even moments of such pure emotion that is only seen and shared within the feminine mystique. My days are as different as the style and personality of women walking through my door each and every day. There is no lull, no counting ceiling tiles or long meetings about absolutely nothing. There is laughter, conversation and acceptance that whoever sizes jeans is just mean.\r\n\r\nThank you all for reading my articles and for fussing at me when I fail to meet my deadline.

Says Alice, “When I was hired, it was a half-time position and only me. No support. No one at the hospital knew what to think. The idea of ‘fundraising’ made most folks a little squeamish, even though the hospital was having a difficult time financially. My office was first in a small room in the OR area, next door to endoscopy, then I was moved to the basement.”\r\n\r\nThrough a lot of hard fundraising work, community outreach, and the creation and success of the Valentine Ball as an annual hospital fundraiser, Alice was a key member of the team that helped the hospital turn the corner and progress towards a much brighter future. She said, “The extraordinary visibility that the Valentine Ball was building along with the success we were having recruiting more doctors to Beaufort and committed volunteer leadership to our foundation board — lots of things came together at just the right time. The path and the opportunities to help the hospital grow and build resources for the future became clearer for all of us.”\r\n\r\nToday, the team supporting the BMH Foundation consists of five full time and one part-time staff. The foundation has provided more than $22 million to BMH to underwrite projects as small as the annual summer camp for children with asthma and as large as the multi-million dollar projects of the Cochrane Heart Center, the Emergency Room improvements, and paying 50 percent of building and equipment costs for the Keyserling Cancer Center.\r\n\r\nOne of Alice’s most significant achievements has been her role in establishing a permanent endowment fund. The foundation seeded the fund in 1991 with a $10,000 bequest, setting up a long-term investment management philosophy, a 4 and a half percent annual payout rate to the hospital, and a trigger of $5 million that they had to reach to start the payout.  Today, the endowment value is $10 million, even after paying out $3 million to BMH.  These endowment payouts are in addition to the foundation’s annual underwriting of specific equipment and programs. But these dollars are unrestricted to the hospital and can supplement the drastically shrinking revenue now being paid for patient care.  When Alice encourages members of the community to “leave a legacy” she is working to further build that endowment to help BMH weather the inevitable financial challenges that lie ahead, so that our community can continue to have the best healthcare possible.\r\n\r\nSays Alice, “Yes, the dollars are in the millions now, and that’s what it takes to effectively impact hospital finances with increasing costs and declining revenues.  But not every gift is large. I never lose sight of the fact that our community lacks a strong corporate or industrial base ... so 97 percent of our contributions come from individual donations (which is very unusual for a hospital), in gifts of all sizes. The fact that Beaufortonians have pulled together to make such a commitment to our hospital, our neighbors and our healthcare speaks volumes and sure makes me proud to be a part of this community.”\r\n\r\nAlice Beddingfield Moss came to her profession in a unique way, that looking back on it, was perfect preparation for her future job of helping our nonprofit hospital here in Beaufort County. Her Harvard-trained father decided to return to his rural North Carolina roots to help the people he grew up with.\r\n\r\n“Daddy was a country doctor — Ed Beddingfield, Jr. MD. We lived in Stantonsburg, N.C., population 800 (only two zeros is correct!). He was a very caring person, was on call 24/7 and sometimes just got paid in either rabbits, squirrels or collards,” recalls Alice with a laugh. “When I was very young, we lived upstairs over his clinic. The clinic had exams rooms, labor and delivery rooms, an X-ray — this was the 1950’s. Sometimes I helped sterilize and powder the rubber gloves.  I often went on housecalls with him.  He delivered many in-home babies. In the ’70’s he became active in medical politics and some of the early efforts to develop physician extenders and other solutions to the emerging issues of healthcare access for the poor and elderly, especially in rural areas. Growing up in a small town and around medicine make this job a natural fit and give me the passion for what I do.”\r\n\r\nAlice graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a masters degree in Regional Planning and held prestigious jobs in the N.C. Dept. of Natural Resources and Community Development and the Arizona’s Governor’s Office of Economic Planning and Development before coming to Beaufort. Today, as executive director of Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation, she helps build relationships between the hospital and the community, and develops and oversees philanthropic support for BMH. Says Alice, “I participate in strategic planning and leadership of the hospital, which helps me serve as an advocate for the community within the hospital while I am also advocating for the hospital throughout the community.”\r\n\r\nAbout her job, Alice says, “The people at Beaufort Memorial are incredible. I have so much respect and appreciation for what they do at the bedside and behind the scenes. Our leadership gets stronger and stronger both in running the hospital as a business and in modeling our core values.  I honestly feel privileged to work there.  We are so fortunate to have a hospital the caliber of Beaufort Memorial in a town our size.”\r\n\r\nAlice’s work philosophy? “Believe in what you do. Pursue and persist but keep perspective. Never be above laughing at yourself.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Alice says she sometimes thinks about the “r” word (retirement), “But I’m loving the work and all the opportunities to really make a difference for the future of the hospital and the community.”\r\n\r\nFor the health of Beaufort, let’s hope Alice will keep working for a long time!\r\n<div></div>', 'Alice Moss and a foundation of giving', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'alice-moss-and-a-foundation-of-giving', '', '', '2013-02-21 11:18:07', '2013-02-21 16:18:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10017', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(10034, 4, '2013-02-21 11:39:10', '2013-02-21 16:39:10', '<b>By Katie Phifer</b>\r\n\r\nThanks to a range of factors — including medical advances, healthier eating habits and better fitness — Americans are living longer lives. Life expectancy in the U.S. recently hit a record 78.7 years,<sup>1</sup> and the number of Americans living past age 90 has nearly tripled during the last 30 years. But while living well into our nineties is a dream for many of us, the possibility of outliving our savings serves as an eye-opener.\r\n\r\n“It’s a universal concern: No matter how much you have accumulated, everybody is worried about making their money last through retirement,” says Donna Peterson, Senior Vice President in Retail Retirement at Wells Fargo. A recent survey found that more than half of baby boomers fear outliving their savings more than they do dying.<sup>2</sup>\r\n\r\nFortunately, making a few changes to your financial situation now can help increase the chance that your savings will last your lifetime — no matter how long it spans.\r\n\r\n<b>Create ongoing income.</b> Peterson suggests aiming to replace 80 percent to 100 percent of your working income in retirement, but she admits that will vary with time. “Early in retirement, while you’re young and active, you may need to replace 110 percent of what you earned,” she says. “As you age and become more sedentary, your costs may go down.”\r\n\r\n<b>Aim to keep growing.</b> On the cusp of retirement, some investors may be content to shift their funds from stocks into certificates of deposit or other conservative investments in order to protect all they’ve saved in their nest egg. But that may be a mistake.\r\n\r\nSince retirement can last several decades, you’ll likely need to harness the growth potential of stocks to keep inflation from eroding your savings. Although they come with increased risk, stocks offer better potential for long-term growth than bonds and cash investments. Your financial advisor can help you find a mix of stocks, bonds and cash investments that offers an appropriate balance of risk and return potential.\r\n\r\n<b>Plan for long-term care.</b> As you age, you’re more likely to sustain an injury or develop an illness that requires long-term care. But that care — whether in a nursing home or through an in-home health provider — can be very expensive. One strategy to these potential medical costs is long-term care (LTC) insurance, which is designed to cover expenses if you become physically or cognitively impaired.\r\n\r\n<b>Consider keeping a paycheck.</b> A simple way to stretch your retirement savings is to work longer. Economists Alicia H. Munnell and Steven Sass from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College note that delaying retirement by just three to four years — from 62 to 66, for instance — may boost your retirement income by a third.<sup>3</sup>\r\n\r\nWorking longer can help by:\r\n\r\n• Boosting your monthly Social Security benefits\r\n\r\n• Increasing the time you spend accumulating a 401(k) balance\r\n\r\n• Giving you access to employer-provided health care\r\n\r\n• Reducing the amount of time you rely on your retirement savings\r\n\r\nA very long retirement is a blessing and a risk.

Two great songs, one by Tim McGraw and the other by Kris Allen, have similar titles with the same message to live like you were dying.  The words are very inspiring to get out there, follow your dreams and not waste a single moment worrying about that which you cannot control.  Simply pur: Wake up, look around, check in and live ... now!\r\n\r\nWe tend to get sucked into many vortexes of energies, both our own and others, living life in a whirling dervish until we get slammed with a diagnosis, a divorce or an economic downturn then spend the next month, year, decade or more struggling for recovery or rebound. The paradigm that seems most familiar is that “life is so hard,” “you have to fight your way to the top” or “the sky is falling.” Since every experience is a neutral energy until we put our personal spin on it, wouldn’t it be more fun to shift our perspective to “living is easy while dancing our way through it and gracefully juggling those bits of sky as they fall?” Wonder what you could create in your life with that perspective? It sure beats waiting for a diagnosis, worrying about how our kids will turn out, dreading to go to work each day, or staying plugged into all of the bad news day in and day out.\r\n\r\nAs energy/spiritual beings hanging out within a physical body, we are the steward of our own vessel and need to tune in to what we are providing it each minute of our lives. If you are dragging your vessel through life or it is dragging you, it is your time to wake up and begin to see your body as the vibrating, rechargeable, electromagnetic self that works more efficiently when ample life force is coursing through each tiny particle. Regardless of where your health is right now, there are countless ways to wake your body up to living just a little more today than the day before.  All it takes is consciousness.\r\n\r\nTo get a feel for how alive you really are, begin by using your imagination and seeing yourself as one of your trillion cells inside your body.  Are you receiving enough fuel from live food grown in nature or is it inadequate with dead, processed food created in a lab?  Are you getting enough water to stay hydrated or are you feeling a little parched or sticky with high sugary soda? Are you receiving any movement to enhance your perfect vibrating self or sluggishly hanging around waiting for something to happen?  Are you efficiently able to do your work of filtering and nourishing while communicating with other cells with ease or are you moving so slow that the cells around you can’t do their job and end up quitting, ultimately becoming dis-ease? Are you receiving messages of love and gratitude for all that you do for your steward, or are you hearing frustration about how it stinks getting old or it hates being sick and tired?  Whatever your cellular responses are today, they can be very different tomorrow with a little self awareness and a desire to enhance vibrational frequencies by “you” as the steward to the “you” as a cell.\r\n\r\nOnce you begin to manage the subtle energies in your mind, body and spirit throughout your day, you will begin to experience more vitality to enjoy living. So, wake up, plug your circuits into things that bring you joy, eliminate the negative stuff that no longer serves you, and live like you are alive!  Because you are!\r\n\r\nLive Well ...

Likewise, to me, it is a form of self-respect and thoughtfulness towards your own inner and outer appearance, with regard to self-acceptance. So when it comes to “self” why is it that I’m finding that more and more have allowed others to dictate what “self” should be?\r\n\r\nAs I sat down to lunch with a close friend today, our conversation danced around the topic of self-esteem. How both she and I, at one point or another in our pasts, had discovered that we battled with low-self esteem, stemming from what others said, thought about or had declared us to be. The particular beauty of this conversation is that both she and I have now found our love, place and passion within the beauty industry and are well grounded and happy with what we look like, walk like, talk like and have achieved, regardless of who is not.\r\n\r\nNonetheless, we both recognized how so many of our clients, customers and peers from all backgrounds, nationalities, tax brackets and levels of education still share a common bond. Women, dealing with moderate to low self-esteem.\r\n\r\nConcerns of who will like what they are wearing, who won’t like what they have to say and why they can’t seem to make anyone happy tops the list. Yet again, so many concerns of others’ involvement in oneself. The bottom line and the fact of the matter is this: Start with self. Respect self first. Accept self first. Give thought to self first. Esteem yourself highly, so that your self-esteem can be high.\r\n\r\nFor more information, comments or questions, visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques.com.', 'Esteem yourself', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'esteem-yourself', '', '', '2013-02-21 11:44:11', '2013-02-21 16:44:11', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10045', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Rather than a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Sisco offered to perform the new single-site procedure using the revolutionary da Vinci Si, the third generation of the robotic surgical system.\r\n\r\nEquipped with instrument arms capable of rotating 360 degrees, the da Vinci enhanced surgical precision, control and stability, making it possible for general surgeons to perform more complex procedures.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10052\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"181\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Health-SiscoMansker.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-10052\" alt=\"Beaufort Memorial physicians Stephen Sisco, MD and Deanna Mansker, MD are the first surgeons in the region to perform the new single site procedure. \" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Health-SiscoMansker-181x300.jpg\" width=\"181\" height=\"300\" /></a> Beaufort Memorial physicians Stephen Sisco, MD and Deanna Mansker, MD are the first surgeons in the region to perform the new single site procedure.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe robot also features 3D-HD optics offering 10 times the magnification of the operative field.\r\n\r\n“It’s true three-dimensional visualization,” Sisco said. “It provides us with a more accurate picture of the anatomy.”\r\n\r\nSisco and Dr. Deanna Mansker — the first physicians in the region to perform single-site surgery — will show off the robot’s superior capabilities at Beaufort Memorial’s free Dance for Your Health community wellness event being held from 9 a.m. to noon Feb. 23 at Sun City’s Pinckney Hall.\r\n\r\nAttendees at both events will have the chance to try out the surgical system for themselves.

Able to fit through a one-inch hole, the three-pronged attachment can hold a camera and the surgical tools needed to remove the gallbladder.\r\n\r\nPreferring one incision instead of four, Brown opted for the new single-site procedure. She went in for the surgery at 6 a.m. and was out by 2:30 p.m. Her stomach was a little sore, but she didn’t need any pain medication. And the belly ache that she had been having three or four times a week was gone.\r\n\r\nWhen she returned to work, she compared scars with a colleague who had her gallbladder removed with traditional laparoscopic surgery.\r\n\r\n“She has four small scars,” Brown said. “Mine is hardly visible.”\r\n\r\nDrs. Sisco and Mansker are the only surgeons in Beaufort County offering the single-site gallbladder surgery.\r\n\r\n“They didn’t even offer robotic surgical training when I was in med school,” said Mansker, who finished her residency at the Medical University of South Carolina two years ago. “That’s how new it is.”\r\n\r\nFor more information on Beaufort Memorial’s da Vinci surgical program, visit www.bmhsc.org or contact Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists at 524-8171.\r\n<div></div>', 'Beaufort Memorial Hospital offers single-site surgery', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-memorial-hospital-offers-single-site-surgery', '', '', '2013-02-21 11:49:33', '2013-02-21 16:49:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10050', 0, 'post', '', 0),

So grateful was she for the doctors at Beaufort Memorial Hospital who saved her — and for the unusual number and variety of blood products the hospital had on hand the night she desperately needed them — that she vowed to help others as she had been helped.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10061\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"227\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/jon-strebe.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-10061\" alt=\"Jon Strebe\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/jon-strebe.jpg\" width=\"227\" height=\"265\" /></a> Jon Strebe[/caption]\r\n\r\n“When you’re young and healthy, you don’t think you’re ever going to need blood,” said Durham, a Beaufort CPA who serves as the accountant for her husband Stephen’s dental practice. “But what happened to me could have happened to anyone. We’re all busy, but we need to make the time to give blood. If the people who donated the blood I received hadn’t taken the time, I would be dead.”\r\n\r\nChristian, who shares Durham’s commitment to blood donation, having working for the Red Cross in Atlanta prior to moving to Beaufort, happily agreed to collaborate and the two of them began to host an annual “Appreciation Drive.”\r\n\r\n“When I brought Kim a meal after her near-death experience, she asked me, ‘what on earth do you do for someone who saved your life?’ ” said Christian. “But our conversation revolved around how much blood she received, how impressed she and medical professionals from other areas were that our local hospital was so well-stocked with the blood products that ended up saving her. That led to the idea of hosting a blood drive in honor of the two physicians who were instrumental in reacting and responding to her condition so quickly.”\r\n\r\nThe first “Appreciation Drive” honored Durham’s doctors, Robert Bell and Glenn Werner. The second brought friends and family together again to replenish blood stores for The Blood Alliance. And the drive on Feb. 27 is dedicated to O’Kelley and Strebe, favorite staffers at the charter school attended by Christian’s three sons.\r\n\r\n“Joy and Jon aren’t just staff members at Riverview, they are beloved community members, church leaders, parents, spouses and friends of people way beyond just the scope of the school,” said Christian.\r\n\r\n“There are just so many casseroles one can make for someone going through such hard times, and giving blood saves lives, encourages the two people who we are honoring, and turns something bad like cancer into an opportunity to show our love and support for people who mean so much to us.”\r\n\r\nTo schedule an appointment to donate blood, e-mail Liz Murdaugh at elizabethmurdaugh@gmail.com.

Friday night will feature wings, bands and brews, and Saturday will be the first sanctioned event of the year for the South Carolina Barbecue Association as cookers compete for the best barbecue and ribs. This year’s featured bands include a myriad of regional voices and talents, but leading the array will be the Blue Dogs from Charleston.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Cover-Bands-Brews-and-BBQ1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10069\" alt=\"Cover-Bands, Brews and BBQ1\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Cover-Bands-Brews-and-BBQ1.jpg\" width=\"158\" height=\"153\" /></a>Playing Friday, February 22 from 7:30 to 10 p.m., the Blue Dogs is a bluegrass band that has been playing shows and releasing CDs and DVDs for 25 years. The band’s style is solid yet varied, able to stick to bluegrass roots, while then managing to incorporate African djembe drums seamlessly into the show. As music critic Beatle Bob wrote, “Musically they stay close to the roots with their stellar ensemble pickin’, but their snappy original material and their ability to transform roots-rock chestnuts proves that there’s nothing retro or neo in this gang. It sounds like rib meat falling off a bone.” What better anchor band for a barbecue festival!\r\n\r\nSupporting acts to the Blue Dogs are:\r\n\r\n<b>• Cluster Shucks: 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., February 22:</b> This local trio of musicians plays the gamut from Bon Jovi to bluegrass to R-Kelly.\r\n\r\n<b>• The Bull Grapes: 12 to 1:30 p.m., February 23: </b>This rockin’ blues group from Frogmore plays rock, country, blues and old time.\r\n\r\n• The Accomplices: 1:30-3:30 p.m., February 23: This Lowcountry string band from Savannah is a unique sort of rock and groove-based bluegrass with overtones of jazz and bohemian country. With acoustic/effected guitars, upright bass, percussion, mandolin and fiddle, their playing is one cross-genre blend of musical style and influence that will engage every type of listener.\r\n\r\nBands, Brews &amp; BBQ is a major fundraiser for Friends of Caroline Hospice, a non-profit organization that offers end-of-life services to patients and their families at no cost.\r\n\r\nTickets are $20 each day or $35 for both days. Children under the age of 12 are free. There will be activities for children Saturday that include Jumping Jaxx,  Chuck the Clown, PB&amp;J from Hobbit Hill and ice cream from Brusters Real Ice Cream.\r\n\r\nTickets may be purchased online at friendsofcarolinehospice.com.
