Growing up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, a young girl has certain expectations—prim, proper, and passive. Emma Brown, however, is not like most girls. She swims in her Sunday dress, passes the days sitting in a tree, and refuses to fall in love.\r\n\r\nLike most girls, she has her best friend, Charlotte, throughout it all. But Charlotte might be what’s keeping her from living a life like the other girls her age. An encounter with Charlotte later in their lives describes their relationship:\r\n\r\n“ ‘You’re going to stand beside me at the wedding.’\r\n\r\nHer expression quickly turned solemn and she let loose of my hands. ‘We’re not children anymore. We can’t ignore the reality of our situation. You know I can’t possibly stand next to you at the wedding. I’ll be lucky enough to watch from the upstairs window.’\r\n\r\n‘Nonsense!

These ladies were able to hide documents in very clever ways to avoid detection.\r\n\r\nTen different dinner stations with entrees donated by local restaurants — such as shrimp and grits from Emily’s Restaurant and gumbo from “We Island” Gumbo N’ Tings — will delight your appetite.\r\n\r\nA silent auction will offer such items as art from local artists, an original jewelry piece by Pinckney Simmons of Pinckney Simmons Gallery, and a reserved parking spot at the marina for the week of Water Festival.

So much so, that they now head a program that gives residents an inside look about how the city and county work, as well as providing information about local nonprofit institutions so participants will know how best to apply their own volunteer interests and leadership skills.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17113\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Ed-Pappas-and-Bob-Guinn.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17113\" alt=\"Ed Pappas and Bob Guinn\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Ed-Pappas-and-Bob-Guinn-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Ed Pappas and Bob Guinn[/caption]\r\n\r\nFor the past 21 years, Clemson University Extension Service has sponsored the Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program. This program, dedicated to encouraging volunteerism and community involvement, seeks mentoring by existing leaders for its participants and is geared toward training tomorrow’s community leaders\r\n\r\nThirty-five senior leadership participants spend one day a week involved with community leaders and local experts. Every Wednesday, from January to early April, the class meets at a topic-specific venue such as Penn Center, USCB, Parris Island, Honey Horn, and Town Hall, to name a few. A typical 12 week program involves over 100 speakers at over several dozen locations within Beaufort County. To date, more than 735 people have completed the program, and Beaufort is a better place because of it.\r\n\r\nBob is director of the program and Ed could be described as the program’s Number 1 volunteer “extraordinaire.” For the past 16 years he has helped oversee planning, developing and implementing the next year’s program with other student graduates. He’s currently working on the 2015 class.\r\n\r\nSays Ed, “In June 1997, I retired after a 30 year corporate career, in a variety of capacities, with AT&amp;T in Basking Ridge, NJ. And with my wife, Sandra Chavez (who also worked at AT&amp;T), we relocated in 1998 to Callawassie Island.\r\n\r\n“We immediately fell in love with the Lowcountry, the environment, the history, the culture. Living most of our adult lives in the Northeast, we thirsted for more information about the area.\r\n\r\n“In November 1998, we enrolled in Clemson Extension’s Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program which gave us in-depth knowledge and exposure to a diverse set of government, civic, social and nonprofit institutions in Beaufort County. Beaufort County Senior Leadership gave us more knowledge of Beaufort County in 12 weeks than we gained from living in our home county in New Jersey in 12 years.”\r\n\r\nAfter taking the program, both Ed and Sandra became involved with area nonprofits. Ed stayed on as a volunteer and currently chairs the Clemson University State Advisory Council, whose goal is to promote and support extension activities to favorably impact the quality of life of all South Carolina citizens. He also became a volunteer with environmental organizations and issues, starting with Master Gardener and Master Naturalist programs and eventually becoming a board members on the Rural &amp; Critical Lands Preservation Board, Port Royal Sound Foundation and Low Country Institute.\r\n\r\nHis wife Sandra became equally involved: First as a volunteer with nonprofits, then as chairperson for the Lowcountry Human Development Center in Okatie and United Way of the Lowcountry.\r\n\r\nKnoxville, Tenn., native Bob Guinn is the lead agent for Beaufort, Jasper, and Colleton counties for Clemson University Extension. As an employee of Clemson, he is in charge of the many outreach programs and teaching efforts the extension conducts in the area. He also is the executive director of the State Extension Advisory Council.\r\n\r\nHe met the love of his life, wife Karen, at the University of Tennessee, where he worked before coming to Clemson, in 1979. Karen is a retired math teacher, and they are proud of their two sons — Robert and Christopher — who graduated from Beaufort High School and are now at the College of Charleston and Clemson University, repesctively.\r\n\r\nBob said, “In extension, we like to help people improve the quality of their lives.” To that end, he has conducted, supported, and taught leadership skills in over 65 leadership programs across the state in Beaufort, Jasper, Colleton, Lexington, Hampton, Allendale, Orangeburg and Bamberg counties.\r\n\r\nBob was also vice-president for Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry for two years, a member of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce for many years, and president of the Lowcountry Wellness Organization for years. He enjoys sailboat racing and is currently outfitting a sailboat with the plan of exploring the Intracoastal Waterway.\r\n\r\nSays Ed, “In my 16 years with Beaufort County Senior Leadership, I have met an amazing and diverse number of persons who have gone on to share their life experiences and careers with the citizens of Beaufort County. I am humbled and enriched by having played a part of their continuing journey. I am grateful to Clemson University’s Cooperative Extension Service for introducing me to the opportunities for civic engagement; for inspiring me to ‘give back’ some of the richness of my life experiences and career so to positively contribute to the quality of life of South Carolina citizens.”\r\n\r\n<b>To sign up for next year’s Beaufort County Senior Leadership program, go to www.beaufortseniorleadership.com.</b>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>', 'Bob Guinn and Ed Pappas of the Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program: Training tomorrow\'s leaders today', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bob-guinn-and-ed-pappas-of-the-beaufort-county-senior-leadership-program-training-tomorrows-leaders-today', '', '', '2014-06-12 10:50:07', '2014-06-12 14:50:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17112', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17127, 4, '2014-06-18 22:23:42', '2014-06-19 02:23:42', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nNow that we’re in the doldrums of hot, humid weather we need to be  uber-conscientious when it comes to making sure our pets are supplied with fresh clean water. Even in winter, in a dry heated house, a dog can become dehydrated if deprived of fresh water. I emphasize the word “fresh” for a reason.\r\n\r\nTry this experiment. Drink a glass of cold clean tap water, right from the spigot. Observe. At the same time fill another glass and leave it on the counter. Push it to the back and come return to it three or four days later. Most likely it has a faint film on the surface — dust, grease, pollen — and if you choose to drink it down, fuzz and all, you’ll notice it tastes musty and flat.  Observe. This is probably the water your dog drinks every day.\r\n\r\nWater is the most important of all the nutrients. It plays a complex and critical role in the health of all mammals, constituting 55-75% of the body mass of all warm-blooded creatures, 84% of a newborn puppy and 60% of an adult dog.  Water bathes and fills every one of a dog’s billion cells. In fact, a dog can lose all of its fat and half of its muscle mass and survive, but just a 10% loss of body water can cause breakdown. Water lubricates a dog’s joints and muscles and cushions the spaces between individual cells. As the principle element of blood, it transports oxygen to all body tissues and helps fight infections by distributing white blood cells produced by a dog’s immune system.  Water provides an environment in which enzymes can digest food and convert it to energy for a dog’s survival.\r\n\r\nDogs crave fresh water; and they like a clean bowl, too. It’s easy to simply refill the bowl, day after day, dumping more in when the level gets low. But really, when was the last time you ran the water bowl through the dishwasher? All kinds of stuff can grow in there especially if you have one of those dogs that dips his beard and rinses his mouth when he drinks leaving dirt, twigs and crumbs to float around the bowl. It’s a good idea to get a multiple water bowls, bottom-heavy stainless steel or ceramic, so you can switch them out when the dog water begins to look like bilge.\r\n\r\nA properly sized bowl is a good idea, too. An oversized bowl means your dog may only be able to drink water part way down. While it looks full, it’s not because he can’t get to it. Tall, narrow bowls are good for dogs with long ears like Bassets, spaniels and beagles, reducing collateral wetness from drippy ears.\r\n\r\nOur Best Friends are messy, hit-and-miss slurpers, so it can sometimes be hard to know just how much water they get in a day. Most dogs need about an ounce of fluids per pound of body weight daily, so a 10-pound dog needs a bit over a cup of clean fresh water daily. Hard playing, working or lactating dogs usually need more and puppies generally drink more than adult dogs. Dogs that eat only a dry kibble diet, with less than 5% moisture content, will naturally drink more, too. Plus, a dog will drink more when it is hot and conversely, more when it is cold and dry.\r\n\r\nYour dog is drinking enough if you observe him lapping several times a day from his water bowl and if the water level goes down in the bowl over the day. If you’re aware of a sudden decrease or increase in water consumption, your dog may be ill. Excessive thirst and urinating large amounts may indicate diabetes, kidney failure or other endocrinological diseases. Time to call the vet if you notice drastic changes. Although all dogs are different, your dog is drinking enough if he urinates several times a day when you take him out.\r\n<div></div>', 'Drink to good health', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'drink-to-good-health-3', '', '', '2014-06-18 22:23:42', '2014-06-19 02:23:42', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17127', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Dyson.\r\n\r\nBorn in Rochester, N.Y., on September 8, 1921 she attended the Eastman School, Syracuse University and Stetson University. She and Jim met at Stetson and planned to be married after his graduation from law school.  However, they waited for him to start active duty as a new Army lieutenant in the field artillery.  They were married on New Year’s Eve 1941, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.\r\n\r\nStarting married life at Ft. Benning, Georgia, Peggy adapted to the rigorous and fast paced activities of an army preparing for war. During World War II, with Jim away for three and a half years, Peggy returned home to work in her father’s canning plant in East Williamson, N.Y. Ironically, many of the workers in the factory were German POWs captured in North Africa, where Jim had first seen combat with the Second Armored Division. Peggy supported the war effort as a volunteer Red Cross Gray Lady, providing support to hospitalized U.S. military personnel. She devoted 26 years to that program.\r\n\r\nThroughout Jim’s career in the Army, Peggy was very active, raising their two sons who followed their father into careers as Army officers. Throughout Jim’s deployments to Korea and Vietnam, Peggy held the family together and actively supported the Army families remaining stateside during the wars.\r\n\r\nThe Dysons retired to central Florida in November of 1971, eventually settling in DeLand, where they had been in college together.  Peggy was active in the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Order of the Eastern Star, the DeLand Garden Club and the Krewe of Amalee, a local charity.\r\n\r\nIn 2005 the Dysons moved to Beaufort.  They are survived by two sons; Ret.

People have written songs about clever names, and, on occasion, some of us have even sung these songs. This week we will learn about a wine that tastes great and is priced right — that’s enough to make any wine lover sing. But, hopefully, by the time the singing does start, I will be in my own “safe for singing” place, and you will as well. If the singing does follow, it is not to be discussed. Ever!\r\n\r\nSo, humming, off we go to learn about this week’s wine and we glide into Amador County, California. In addition to wine, and before a lot of wine came from there, Amador was known for gold mining. Located about 45 miles southeast of Sacramento, Amador is just over 600 square miles, which makes it the fifth smallest county in California. And lakes account for a little more than 11 square miles.\r\n\r\nOnly months after it was established in May 1854, Amador County was split into Amador, Calaveras and El Dorado counties. It is named for José María Amador, a soldier, rancher and miner who was born in San Francisco in 1794. In 1848, he and several Native Americans established a gold mining camp near what is now Amador City. This part of California is known as “the Mother Lode” because of all the rich gold mines in the area. “Amador” means “one who loves” in Spanish.\r\n\r\nDespite their riches, all the gold mines in Amador County were closed in 1942 by the federal government because they were not considered important to the war effort. Recently, there have been attempts to reopen and modernize some of the mines.\r\n\r\nThe Shenandoah Valley, in Amador County, was once the principal wine growing area in California. Many wineries were built there during and after the California Gold Rush that are still there today — some by miners who did not find gold, or at least enough gold. Prohibition did devastate the wine industry there, but about 40 wineries now operate in Amador County.\r\n\r\nZinfandel is Amador’s claim to wine fame. Some of the vineyards have Zinfandel vines that are 125 years old. The original 10-acre Grandpère Vineyard was planted before 1869, and still grows great Zinfandel grapes.  There are county documents verifying its establishment and history.\r\n\r\nIn addition to Zinfandel, other varieties do well in Amador County. Ours for this week is Barbera. (Not to be confused with Barbara — especially if you have a Barbara in your family.) Barbera is a red variety, the third most planted red in Italy, which is where the grape comes from.\r\n\r\nIt is prudent, at this point, to remind ourselves that Italian varieties are grown quite a bit in California. They came with many of the immigrants from Italy who turned to grape growing because table wines were such a large part of their daily lives. We have even discussed the name, made up though it is, for California wines made from what are usually Italian varieties. Remember “Cal-Itals?” Zinfandel is an Italian variety, or at least a clone of one. Sangiovese is, and Barbera is too. Arneis is a white grape with a few small plantings in California. And, not to be forgotten the “ever in your glass” Pinot Grigio, as well as Moscato. Many of these make both single variety wines and blends. Our Barbera wine this week is one of these. Barbera grapes are a deep purple color. When young, their wines have intense aromas of cherries, raspberries and blueberries. With aging, and some Barbera wines are meant to be aged, they get blackberry and black cherry flavors. Aged in oak barrels, vanilla flavors attach to the wines for added complexities. Lighter bodied Barbera wines have enough acidity to be chilled slightly, about 20 minutes. Heavier ones, with more oak barrel aging time and/or slightly more alcohol, can be aged and served at room temperature.\r\n\r\nHistorically, Barbera is thought to have originated in the Piedmont area in northeastern Italy. DNA testing suggests it may also be related to the French variety Mourvedre, used in the Rhône area.\r\n\r\nOne of the best known wine scandals (and there are a few) occurred in 1985. Barbera producers in Piedmont, Italy, were illegally adding methanol to their wines. More than 30 people died and many more lost their eyesight.  (Not to be glib, but was it the addition of the methanol or the killing of 30 people that was illegal?) Anyhow, Barbera wines became very unpopular and plantings of this variety dropped immensely.\r\n\r\nBarbera vines are fairly easy to grow. They have high yields and are vigorous. Pruning helps to maintain good levels of acidity and astringency. In Piedmont, their early ripening allows them to be harvested up to two weeks before their Nebbiolo grapes. If a winemaker’s Barbera grapes are too acidic, blending with other grapes is a successful option. Outside of Italy, Barbera is rare in the rest of Europe. In California, it is one of the most successful Italian varieties with over 8,000 acres planted. Napa and Sonoma counties both have produced some good Barbera wines, but it is most planted in the Central Valley where Amador County is located.\r\n\r\nOur winery is Montevina, which recently changed its name to Terra d’Oro. Before, Terra d’Oro wines were labeled with the phrase “by Montevina.” But, if you are located in the “mother lode” area of the California Gold Rush, Terre d’Oro, “land of gold,” is probably a more productive brand name.\r\n\r\nMontevina was founded in 1979, the first winery in the county after Prohibition. Today, they are the biggest and most modern of all the wineries in Amador. With wineries like Montevina — oops, I mean Terra d’Oro — making good Barbera wines, this has become the sixth most planted variety in California. For the Barbera varietal wine, the grapes are hand-picked, many from their own estate vineyards. The grapes are de-stemmed and gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Because they expect to get a low level of tannins from these grapes, they use techniques to maximize the extractions during fermentation — the juice is drained from the tanks and then returned to the same tanks over the grape skins, every day. “Drain and return, drain and return,” that is the winery’s name for it. More skin contact means more textures and flavors. In all, the fermentation with this process takes 14 days. Then, the wine is aged in small oak barrels for 14 months.\r\n\r\nSomehow, the cherry cola flavor of Barbera is enhanced, yum, yum! This finished wine also has blackberry and pomegranate flavors and hints of vanilla from the oak barrels.\r\n\r\nThis week’s wine is ours for $9.99. But, wait, no, that’s not right. These labels say “Montevina Barbera.” Didn’t we just say Terra d’Oro is the new winery name? Yes. So, what’s the scoop? Well, we have great, new wine with old labels on the bottles so we get a deal. Because, really, who should have to drink wine with an out-of-date label? So it is actually available at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island for only $5.97 — now we’re happy. After a glass or two, or a bottle or two, the label really doesn’t matter anymore. Nor does any of that singing some of us might be doing.\r\n\r\nEnjoy!\r\n<div></div>', 'Montevina Barbera is something to sing about ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'montevina-barbera-is-something-to-sing-about', '', '', '2014-06-18 22:28:34', '2014-06-19 02:28:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17134', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(17136, 4, '2014-06-18 22:29:22', '2014-06-19 02:29:22', '<b>By Roxanne W. Cheney</b>\r\n\r\nFrom May 29-31, I attended the 26th Annual Conference and Organizing Expo hosted by the National Association of Professional Organizers in Scottsdale, Arizona.\r\n\r\nAlong with more than 600 attendees from 13 nations, I learned from leading industry experts in four general sessions and more than 30 workshops and break-out sessions.  We also had access to an Expo Hall featuring displays and demonstrations by dozens of companies that manufacture, sell, and distribute organizing products and organizing industry-related services that offer solutions for a diverse clientele.\r\n\r\nOne particularly relevant session (given the advent of hurricane season) was a detailed workshop on creating home and business inventories.  As recently advised by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, a home inventory is an excellent way to expedite the insurance claims process after theft, damage, or loss. Moreover, this record of your insurable assets will also help verify tax-deductible property losses and determine the right amount of insurance coverage you need. Especially after a traumatic loss, it’s impossible to remember everything you had, so most people never collect their full insurance benefits.\r\n\r\nCreating a home inventory is probably on many “To Do” lists — but anecdotal evidence suggest that it is one of those “important but not urgent” tasks that is overcome by other events — until it’s too late. In the event of loss, would you have a record of all the valuables in your home?  If the answer is no, I encourage you to begin putting your inventory together today.  These steps may help get you started:\r\n\r\n1. Whether you choose to use high- or low-tech tools to create your inventory, there are insurance company guides as well as programs and apps available to facilitate your project.\r\n\r\n2. For every item, include a detailed description (make, model, and serial number, if applicable), value, and purchase date.  If you are missing a detail, include as much as you reasonably can.\r\n\r\n3. Your inventory should include a visual record with a video walk-through of your home or through a series of photographs.  Your tablet or smartphone can be useful in either instance.\r\n\r\n4. A good way to start is to move from room to room, listing items as you go. Don’t forget to include items in your basement, attic, garage, and any detached structures, such as tool sheds. Also, pay special attention to your most valuable possessions, such as antiques, art, jewelry, collectibles, and electronic equipment. If you have any questions about which items are covered by your policy, contact your insurance agent.\r\n\r\n5. Keeping proper documentation will also help to facilitate the claims process. This documentation, which can be scanned for digital storage, includes receipts, credit card statements, other transaction documents, and appraisals (include the appraiser’s name and address).\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve created your home inventory, make sure to update it as you acquire or dispose of items over time.\r\n\r\nStore your inventory in a secure place away from your home, such as your office or a safe deposit box. You may also want to email your inventory to a trusted friend and ask them to save it for you. This way, if you ever need the information for insurance or tax purposes, it will be easy to access.\r\n\r\nLastly, remember that doing a little is better than doing nothing.  Consistently devoting as little as 15 minutes to this (or any) project will produce visible results in short order.  So don’t delay, get started today!\r\n<div></div>', 'Professional organizer advice: Create a home inventory', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'professional-organizer-advice-create-a-home-inventory', '', '', '2014-06-18 22:29:22', '2014-06-19 02:29:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17136', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Furthermore, we think a clean home is a safer home.\r\n\r\nIn honor of June being National Safety Month, we have some ideas for ways to keep your home, spotless, sparkling and safe.\r\n\r\n<b>Avoid Falls: </b>Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of unintentional home injury? By keeping tighter areas such as doorways, stairs and halls clutter-free, and cleaning up spills as they happen, you are reducing your family’s risk of taking a tumble. Also, if you have to stand on something to reach an item on a high shelf, make sure it’s a sturdy ladder (not a chair) with four feet on the floor.\r\n\r\n<b>Keep Poisons Penned:</b> All potentially harmful substances should be secured, well-labeled and out of reach of children. Remember to put them away after each use and make sure child safety lids are on tightly. We also recommend consulting each product’s manufacturer’s directions and storage practices.\r\n\r\n<b>Let The Air Flow:</b> Most cleaning solutions, even those that are considered green or all-natural, were never meant to be inhaled. Keeping the windows open will help keep you from getting light-headed or dizzy.\r\n\r\n<b>Good Food Habits: </b>The first rule of safe food preparation in the home is to keep everything clean. Wash food-contact surfaces (cutting boards, dishes, utensils, countertops) with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item and before going on to the next. Keeping the refrigerator clean and sanitized at all times will help prevent cross-contamination — the spread of bacteria from one food to another — and making sure you dry everything after you’ve sanitized it will help deter flies and also prevent bacteria buildup.\r\n\r\n<b>Ban Bin Odors: </b>It’s never too often to sanitize your garbage can, but summer is an especially good time to do it because you can wash it outside with a hose. After you’ve emptied out the water, spray liberally with a sanitizer, then let sit for ten minutes. Rinse again and turn upside down to dry.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please contact Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843-522-2777, email at custsrv4632@merrymaids.net or visit our website at merrymaidsbeaufort.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'Celebrate National Safety Month with a clean house', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'celebrate-national-safety-month-with-a-clean-house', '', '', '2014-06-20 15:12:29', '2014-06-20 19:12:29', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17150', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It was love at first sight and they were married a year later.\r\n\r\nSays Laura, “Everything is funny with my husband. I find him to be hilarious.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17170\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"225\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Profile-Laura-Matt-with-Cece-Cape.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17170\" alt=\"The McAlhaney Family: Laura, Matt, Cecilia, 6, and Cape, 7.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Profile-Laura-Matt-with-Cece-Cape-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a> The McAlhaney Family: Laura, Matt, Cecilia, 6, and Cape, 7.[/caption]\r\n\r\nMatt, whose parents are Ann McEachern Bulock and Henry T. McAlhaney, is a Beaufort native and University of South Carolina graduate. He has been in real estate sales and development in Beaufort for more than 20 years and hangs his license with Cora Bett Thomas.\r\n\r\nAlthough born in Japan, Laura, whose maiden name is Mastrandrea, is of Italian heritage. She lived in Charleston after her father was stationed at the Charleston Naval Base as Supply Corp Captain in 1978. Her family later retired to Mt. Pleasant in 1988.\r\n\r\nThey have two adorable children — Cape, age 7, and Cecelia, age 6.\r\n\r\nBoth Matt and Laura love to travel, and each had done a lot of it before they met. They believed there was a need for a small, yet luxurious, modern boutique hotel in Beaufort’s downtown historic district. Matt, with Laura’s support, renovated and opened City Loft Hotel six years ago, at the bottom of the recession. But through hard work and a great staff, the hotel has turned into a real success story.\r\n\r\nAs a business partner, Laura opened and oversees City Java &amp; News which has become a popular community hub while also welcoming guests to City Loft. City Java offers the best in espresso drinks, all types of great coffee, along with breakfast, lunch,  pastries, wine, beer, print materials and wireless internet.\r\n\r\nCity Loft was voted best hotel in Beaufort from both The Island News and The Beaufort Gazette this year. On a larger stage, TripAdvisor (the world’s largest online travel website) has listed City Loft as the number one hotel in Beaufort since it opened, and has named it in the top 10 best small hotels in the United States two years running. While TripAdvisor no longer has the category, three years ago, City Loft was also in the top 10 for best service in the country in the company of luxury giants such as The St. Regis and The Four Seasons.\r\n\r\nSays Matt, “I see my primary job as securing an excellent work force and providing a happy, fulfilling work environment as this translates into customer satisfaction — our single greatest priority. We have fun but we are very serious about our small space in the world of hospitality. My right hand woman at City Loft has been Stephanie Fairbanks, and without her and my excellent staff you would not be interviewing me — that is a certainty.”\r\n\r\n“My husband is our leader and a great partner,” says Laura. She said the staff of City Java and City Loft “are an extension of my family and I’m really proud they choose to work with our organization. I love them all.”\r\n\r\nLaura, besides creating and overseeing City Java, has been a teacher for the past 13 years in South Carolina public schools after receiving a graduate degree from the College of Charleston in teaching students with learning disabilities. Before that she studied Language and International Trade at Clemson University. Matt calls her “the combustion engine behind our family.”\r\n\r\nMelesia Walden, the original headmaster at Bridges Preparatory School, and Laura wrote and received The Learning Center grant for a partnership with Bridges which allowed Laura to serve as the learning coach for the 2013-2014 school year.\r\n\r\nSays Laura, “The Learning Center grant gave me a great opportunity to continue my work with the school after start up and utilize my years of teaching experience to serve the students and parents of Bridges. The position of learning coach allowed us an innovative way to maximize my experience in teaching and coaching students we identified as in need of assistance. To me, individualizing instruction is the most important study in education today, which is why partnerships like those supported through The Learning Center are so important.”\r\n\r\nThe Learning Center of Beaufort Inc., in partnership with The Coastal Communities Foundation, extends grants to nonprofit organizations looking to increase the success rate of any struggling learner in their population, be it during school or after school programming.\r\n\r\nThe Learning Center board selects which organizations will get funding based on their grant applications. For example, Penn Center and The Boys &amp; Girls Club ran after-school tutoring programs for the 2013-14 school year, but other funded programs operated during the school day, which was the case at Bridges. The Learning Center is available to every child in Beaufort County at a variety of locations including Bridges, St. Peter’s Catholic School, Penn Center, AMIkids, Saint John Paul II Catholic High School, and soon Holy Trinity Classical Christian School. And, The Learning Center Fund works closely with the Beaufort County School District to identify children in need of assistance.\r\n\r\nMatt says, “Laura is a rare find and a unique creation as she is beautiful, educated, energetic, and thoughtfully engaged in the world in which she lives. She cares for our children and me, she cares about the many students’ lives she has touched and works daily to make our businesses the best they can possibly be.”\r\n\r\nBesides Laura’s involvement with The Learning Center, which is a 501c nonprofit, they both have been supportive of many charities in Beaufort. Matt has been involved with CODA for over 20 years and has coordinated golf tournaments and baseball charity events for the organization. He’s also served on the boards of Historic Beaufort Foundation, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and TMAC.\r\n\r\nBoth Laura and Matt love Beaufort.  Says Laura, “There are so many things to like about Beaufort. So many interesting people from around the world are exposed to Beaufort in some unique way, love it and long to come back. All of this provides Beaufort with a population of many fascinating people.  I love people and their stories.”\r\n\r\nAdds Matt, “For me, I love the friends and family that have gathered on this small island — so many have brought so much to the table of life.” Matt also loves what his friend Chris Conefry says about Beaufort: “It’s the backdrop for any Southern novel you may want to write.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Matt says, “I think it is unusual, and I am proud of the fact that my family and I live in the home in which my mother was raised; even better it is less than 200 yards from City Loft. I like to think we have created and continue to contribute a vital component to the economic engine of downtown Beaufort.” Adds Laura, “We believe a person’s work should touch the lives of others, always.”\r\n\r\nTo that end, they both would like to see City Loft Hotel and City Java &amp; News brand grow and are exploring opportunities to make that happen.', 'Matt and Laura McAlhaney: Beaufort’s dynamic duo', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'matt-and-laura-mcalhaney-beauforts-dynamic-duo', '', '', '2014-06-20 15:49:15', '2014-06-20 19:49:15', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17169', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It would not be the beginning of baseball season (or any sport for that matter) without the baseball “experts” pontificating about which team will prevail at the end of the season. This is the part that always makes me smile. How in the world can anybody know today who is going to win the World Series in October?\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17175\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Charles_Tumlin.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-17175\" alt=\"Charles Tumlin\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Charles_Tumlin-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Charles Tumlin[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe baseball season is a marathon, as teams play 162 games during the course of the regular season. With so many variables in play, there is absolutely no way that any expert, let alone an ordinary baseball fan can determine with any degree of certainty which team will be crowned the World Series champion. While it might make for good television ratings, would you want to attempt to pick a winner at the beginning of the season and be tied to that selection at the end of the season? I would surmise the answer to the question would be, absolutely not. What if the star player gets hurt? What if the brilliant rookie prospect turns out to be a bust? You are stuck riding that selection into the sunset. Why then, would it make sense to invest your money that way?\r\n\r\nAt any time you can find financial experts on television talking about why this stock or that stock is going to be the best performing over the next five or ten years, or even over just the next year. Think about how much can change in just a year’s time, let alone an entire decade. From the beginning to the end of 2008 the S&amp;P 500 lost 38% of its value. Similarly, from the beginning to the end of 2009 the S&amp;P 500 gained 23% . Those are just one year time periods. Think about ten years. Who would have imagined in 1999 that the decade of 2000’s would post the first decade loss for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since the 1930’s? This is why it is so important to have flexibility in the financial markets, and more importantly a logical, organized game plan for navigating the markets.\r\n\r\nIn today’s complex markets, one needs an  approach to investing  that is instead based upon finding leadership in the market, and attaching a discipline that offers rules for accepting that a trend is working or no longer working.   An approach that is based upon the irrefutable economic principles of supply &amp; demand, and dictates that we adapt into assets controlled by demand and away from those controlled by supply. In the end, this philosophy means that while others spend their summer predicting, we spend the 12 months of the year listening to the market and adapting to changes.\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Dorsey, Wright and Associates, Inc., and provided to you by Wells Fargo Advisors and Charles Tumlin, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC, 211 Scott Street, 843-524-1114.  You cannot directly invest in an index.

The newly-installed wooden walkway has a life expectancy of 10 years and cost about $7,000 including materials and labor.\r\n\r\nThe playground is located along the Beaufort River downtown in waterfront park, near the Richard V.

Putting these utility lines underground is a huge step forward.”\r\n\r\nHargray and CenturyLink officials said the costs of the project won’t be passed along to customers, and they will attempt to work with other utility providers to reduce related expenses.\r\n\r\n“We are very pleased that, together, we were able to cultivate this partnership and create a win-win for the city, the community, and our customers,” said Chris McCorkendale, Vice President of Operations for Hargray. “We believe this is a great example of public officials working together with local business to strike a balance between prudence and progress.”\r\n\r\nMajor construction along Boundary Street is expected to begin next month after the primary contracts are awarded by Beaufort County.\r\n\r\n“CenturyLink, a long-time community partner in Beaufort, is pleased that a swift and amicable resolution was reached with the City regarding the relocation of CenturyLink’s facilities within the Boundary Street Project area,” said Stephanie Cashwell, the company’s market development manager in South Carolina and Georgia.\r\n\r\n“The agreement was achieved despite extraordinary time constraints and without imposition of any special charge or fee to CenturyLink’s valued customers in Beaufort,” she said.\r\n\r\nBuilding a better Beaufort is the goal of a $30 million investment in Boundary Street to create a safer and more scenic entry to the city, provide better commercial and retail locations, and improve traffic conditions.\r\n\r\nThe project includes realigning the intersection of SC 170 and US 21 and is expected to last about three years. The Boundary Street Corridor work is part of a larger effort to reconfigure Beaufort from near the Marine Corps Air Station to annexed areas of Lady’s Island, creating a unified and connected neighborhood designed for people, not just cars.\r\n\r\nUnderground utilities not only improve the appearance of an area, but also are safer for motorists and are less likely to be damaged during hurricanes, thunderstorms or the rare sleet or snow.\r\n\r\nIn December 2011, the federal Department of Transportation awarded Beaufort a $12.6 million federal DOT grant to jumpstart Beaufort’s Boundary Street Master Plan with major roadway improvements at the intersection of highways SC 170 and US 21. About $13.7 million in local money from the voter-approved penny sales tax originally designated for Beaufort road projects and TIF II will serve as match funding for the federal grant.\r\n\r\nUnder terms of the agreements, Beaufort will contribute up to $300,000 to Hargray and an equal amount to CenturyLink to help partially pay the costs to move their utility lines underground.\r\n\r\nFunding for that cost-sharing comes from the total project budget, which includes federal dollars, local penny sales tax contributions and TIF II funds.\r\n\r\nSCE&amp;G agreed to advance the total costs of its share of the power line project — estimated at $2.9 million — and to be reimbursed by a 2 percent Special Franchise Fee District as it is collected.\r\n\r\nThe fee will affect SCE&amp;G customers inside the Beaufort city limits. The special purpose fee won’t be added to utility bills by SCE&amp;G until after the underground conduit for power lines is completed, estimated to be about six months to 12 months away.', 'Groups agree to bury utility lines along Boundary Street', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'groups-agree-to-bury-utility-lines-along-boundary-street', '', '', '2014-06-20 16:01:41', '2014-06-20 20:01:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17187', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(17189, 4, '2014-06-20 16:04:12', '2014-06-20 20:04:12', '<b>By Dr. Stephen Durham</b>\r\n\r\nThe promise was always that technology would free us.  The idea was to spend more time on the things we were born to do as human beings.  It was also supposed to make things less expensive.\r\n\r\nThe truth turns out to be that it takes focus to keep technology in its place and keep it from taking up our time, attention and priority.\r\n\r\nThe best practices of dentistry offer several examples of how we use technology to make expert treatment and the human touch more attainable for more people.\r\n\r\n<b>Using light instead of steel</b>\r\n\r\nLasers today do many dental treatments more precisely, more comfortably and with less recovery time than scalpels or dental instruments.  Periodontal therapy, especially, is better and easier on the patient now.  Using a tiny filament we can clear out plaque and infection, and prepare the healthy gum tissue to grow properly back around the base of the tooth. Most people go right back to work, and many can eat whatever they like right away.\r\n\r\n<b>Unique, individual —\r\nand computer-identified</b>\r\n\r\nIt might seem like a paradox, but computers help us determine each person’s unique “perfect bite,” the alignment that relaxes neck and jaw muscles and makes teeth work efficiently.  Since more than 90% of recurring headaches come from badly aligned teeth, this solution goes beyond what most people think of as “dental.” It’s a great example how much of our well being starts with the mouth.\r\n\r\n<b>More insight, less exposure</b>\r\n\r\nUsing digital radiography instead of “X-rays,” we get clear, instant pictures of teeth, inside and out, with 90% less radiation. And since there are no negatives to develop, there are no chemicals or film.  So digital radiography is healthier for you and the environment.  And that two-way benefit is part of how we handle tooth restorations, too.\r\n\r\n<b>Banned in Scandinavia</b>\r\n\r\nSome debate still goes on in the U.S., but Norway, Sweden and Denmark actually banned the use of mercury to make dental fillings.  Mercury is just not good for people, and the only debate is about how much we can stand.\r\n\r\nHere we’ve practiced mercury-free dentistry from the first, because resin-based composites and porcelain caps restore teeth without the danger of mercury getting in the bloodstream and into our coastal environment.\r\n\r\n<b>Simple weapon vs. a deadly enemy</b>\r\n\r\nToday patients just swish a special rinse, open wide, and with a special light we can screen for oral cancer, seeing immediately if any tissue is abnormal.  What a simple, quick, painless way to be on-guard.  We offer it to patients in every routine hygiene appointment — and recommend it for anyone at high risk.\r\n\r\nYou see, oral cancer takes more people than either cervical or skin cancer.  And more than a quarter of cases are among people who never smoked.  What makes oral cancer so deadly is that 66% of patients are diagnosed when the cancer has already progressed to late-stage.\r\n\r\n<b>Putting people first</b>\r\n\r\nThe key to making technology a servant rather than a master is to keep putting people first. We have that in mind every single day. The smell of fresh-baked cookies at our office is a good reminder to us — and to our patients!\r\n\r\n<i>A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Stephen Durham is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine.

It begins with such a passionate statement of intention for life, then continues with strong words of choice, “I choose to INHABIT my days ...”\r\n\r\nHow is all of this vibrating in you right now? Do you feel fired up about the choices for your life or has some fear crept into your mind or body?\r\n\r\nOne of the fun practices that I have for myself is to ask, “So, Ifetayo, what fear is keeping you from choosing to have this or that in your life right now?” Owning my life, taking full responsibility for my life is the gift of being a growing human being. It is all mine to choose in every moment of every day — from with whom I spend my time to how much I am weighing right now.\r\n\r\nWe have all had the experience of being with someone who is living in the pain of an abusive marriage or unbalanced friendship. The first question should be, “Why?” Why this choice? Is the choice to be a victim or martyr, or to inhabit a life of love, of joy, of intimacy? Now is the time for each of us to claim our choice, to move out of the energy of powerlessness or passivity about the gift of our lives.\r\n\r\nGuess what, my dears? We also get to choose how we are feeling right now about any situation or experience. It is my choice to feel enraged or impatient driving behind one of our Lowcountry Sunday-going-to-church drivers when we need to get to IHOP before the line for breakfast gets too long. The other person truly has no power over my feelings or responses unless I give them that power. They have given me another opportunity to exercise my power of choice with a wide range of emotions, including just letting go and enjoying the ride.\r\n\r\nTaking full responsibility for the creation that is my life at this time and making the choices to change the circumstances of this life often requires us to strengthen our will. When I recognized that living in the city of my birth was no longer nurturing to my spirit, it took lots of willpower to continue to go through all that my desire to move to Beaufort was asking of me. My children, future grandchildren, tons of family and close high school and college friends, childhood memories and a familiar environment — all to be let go in some way as I continued to make plans for my move. But my heart and spirit knew what was right for me, and continuously engaging my will gave me the power to carry out this choice.\r\n\r\nI will choose not to live an unlived life. I choose my life!\r\n\r\n<i>Ifetayo White offers classes and meditation at TheraVista, in addition to life empowerment coaching, Reiki, trigger point therapy, integrative bodywork, childbirth preparation, education, and postpartum doula services.

Well, as I sink my sore body deeper into my quiet piece of heaven in a comfy, cozy spa massage chair and watch my technician paint my toes, I’ll tell you: The bottom line is that I stopped taking time to pamper myself. I stopped taking time to indulge with every attention, comfort and kindness towards myself. To be totally honest, I have not seen my personal stylist since last October. I haven’t had a manicure since the beginning of the year and as for a pedicure, well, let’s just say that today marks the end of that shame.\r\n\r\nIn short, a combination of factors including lack of time, finances, family priorities and life in general can all determine a woman’s need and desire to appreciate herself. To recognize one’s full worth requires far more measure than one can comprehend, yet it’s truly a matter of searching it out.\r\n\r\nAmidst my putting self-indulgent activities on the back burner, I realize that I have also filed any sort of social life far, far away. Work, church, kids and kids, church, work — in any given order that has become the extent of my walk on the wild side. No dinner parties. No girls nights out. Heck, no “boys” nights out either.\r\n\r\nBusiness has been great and business has been time consuming, however this girl has decided that it’s time to get back to appreciating myself and enjoying what I’ve worked so hard for. This Saturday, June 21 from 6-9 p.m. I will be hosting a social event for any woman who wants to appreciate herself. “Pamper Yourself Ladies Night,” in conjunction with Rachele Doiron of the Beaufort Vendor Blender, will be hosted at my salon, The Brow Company Beauty Bar &amp; Makeup Studio, located at 1115 Boundary Street. Join us for food, music, spa specials, massage, spray tanning, makeovers, facials, demonstrations, giveaways, door prizes and more.\r\n\r\nMy special guest list includes local beauty advisors such as Cynthia Allison of Nerium International, Emily Crowe of It Works! Body Wraps, Nikki Johnson of Thirty-One, Michelle Mcgaha of Arbonne, Renee Armstrong of Younique, Jessica Walden of Mary Kay Cosmetics, Debbie Conway of Jamberry Nails and Merdith Lee Irion of Bronze by Mimi.\r\n\r\nLadies, take the night off, hire a sitter and come get pampered. We deserve it!

I began as principal of Coosa on July 1, 2008 after relocating to Beaufort, South Carolina from Atlanta, Georgia.  I left my family, a school where I had worked the past 13 years, and the familiarity of the place I was born and raised to begin a new chapter in my life.  I can honestly say that while that change was a bit scary at times, it was also invigorating, and I think, meant to be.  I have grown so much as a professional, and have enjoyed seeing Coosa continue to grow and expand its culture of high quality and excellence.\r\n\r\nI was just reviewing our school staff roster, and since I began in 2008, Coosa has maintained many of the same teachers — in fact, two-thirds of the staff have been here that length of time or longer.  The remaining one-third of the staff joining us since 2008 have brought new ideas and positive energy.  I think we have a healthy mix of professionals who see the benefit of working together to ensure our students receive high-quality instruction.  They are ever-mindful of each student’s individual learning needs and are committed to being a positive role model for students.\r\n\r\nOver the past six years, our Coosa school family has struggled with serious illnesses.  Seven have had cancer, and two are still undergoing treatment.  These hardships have brought us even closer together as a school staff as we rally around these individuals. This does not go unnoticed by our students.  From our actions, they are learning compassion, consideration, and helping others less fortunate.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the dedicated Coosa staff, our students continue to benefit from our benevolent community who see the value in reaching out to work with and prepare our next generation.  For our military families, we have a full-time Military Family Liaison Consultant.  Mrs. Alley is well-loved by our military impacted students, and they look forward to spending lunch time with her.  Our Rotary Readers from the Beaufort Rotary come to school each week not only to help students in need of additional reading assistance but develop a friendship with these students who often need to build confidence.  The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department and Lady’s Island Fire Department are frequent visitors to the school and serve as role models for the students.  Our business partners, Home Depot and Martin and Lindsay Landscaping, were instrumental in providing time, labor, and materials to help us make our Memorial Reflection Garden a reality this past year.  Each 1st Friday of the month, we have Coosa dads (and other father figures) join their children for the All Pro Dad breakfast.  Finally, our many parent volunteers continue to spend countless hours at school working with students, or assisting in the classroom or building to make all of our jobs a bit easier.\r\n\r\nI have to say that the biggest accomplishment during my 6 years at Coosa has been implementing “The Leader in Me.”  Coosa is proud to be the first leadership development school in Beaufort County based on the late Dr. Stephen Covey’s books The Leader in Me and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  The 7-Habits, which serves as the framework for the school theme of “Lowcountry Leaders”, teaches students how to make good choices, plan ahead and prioritize, work well with others, and take care of themselves — body, mind, and spirit.  It is embedded into the school culture and curriculum throughout the day and even beyond. I feel a great sense of pride for our growing leaders when individuals (perhaps some of you) have attended one or both of the annual Leadership Events and remark how impressive it is to see these youngest leaders taking on responsibility and demonstrating the leadership skills they are continuing to develop.  We continue to see the benefits: a continual drop in disciplinary referrals, students genuinely interested in setting goals, tracking their progress, and displaying good citizenship.  All of this develops greater self-confidence, a sense of direction and purpose, and a positive and healthy school climate for learning.  I am delighted we get to keep our 4th grade leaders an additional year as 5th graders to hone those leadership skills even more.\r\n\r\nAs I prepare to leave this wonderful school and take on a new challenge and direction in my life as Director of Elementary Academic Assistant for the Beaufort County School District, I am eternally grateful for the years I have had being Coosa’s principal, the many friendships I have developed in the community, and last but not least, the children who have touched my life.  I will miss them a lot, but as I tell them, I know where I can come to get a “kid-fix” when I need one.\r\n\r\nIn all seriousness, I leave Coosa knowing that the tradition for excellence will carry on — it was here before I arrived and will be here after I leave.  The school will be in good hands under the leadership of Mr. Charles DelForge, who begins officially as Principal of Coosa on July 1. He had the opportunity to spend the day at Coosa on May 23 to meet school staff, students, and parents.  The students were very excited to meet him and were so gracious.  Mr. DelForge and I will continue to work closely to make the transition for the school as smooth as possible.\r\n\r\nFinally, thank you all for all you have done to make my life richer by being a part of this community. I will always be grateful for this experience and truly believe it will better prepare me as I begin my work with all elementary schools in Beaufort County.\r\n\r\n<i>Editor’s Note: This article was originally printed in the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association Newsletter.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Reflections of the past six years at Coosa Elementary', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'reflections-of-the-past-six-years-at-coosa-elementary', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:44', '2018-07-12 15:00:44', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17219', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17268, 4, '2014-06-25 20:39:56', '2014-06-26 00:39:56', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nFor many dogs, the first “Wheee!” of a rocket they hear sends them under the bed, quivering from nose to tail. A few dogs, the hunters and police dogs, have nerves of steel and don’t mind fireworks, but most turn into panting, trembling wrecks at the first loud bang. A dog’s hearing is 10 times more sensitive than a human’s, so logically fireworks cause <i>pain</i>. The anxiety and stress are bonus miseries.\r\n\r\nIf you’re thinking of taking your dog to watch the fireworks with you — think again! You and your dog will have much more enjoyable evenings if you leave. the. dog. at. home. Aside from the danger associated with your dog being in the wrong place at the wrong time (dogs and fire simply don’t mix), the mass hysteria, alcohol-increased speech volume, loud noises and repeated flashes of light are likely to have a traumatic effect on your Best Friend. He is not going to have a fun time trapped in a hot car, either (and remember, that’s against the law, anyway). Leave him at home.\r\n\r\nBest to leave him indoors where he is likely to do the least amount of harm to himself or your home, preferably a crate if he’s already used to being in a crate.  A crate draped with a sound-absorbing comforter would be especially considerate. The evening of the Fourth of July is not the time to introduce crate training, however. Imagine yourself being jammed in a stuffy confined box for the first time, AND THEN the aliens begin attacking the house. Not fun.\r\n\r\nFlashing lights can scare your dog just as much as the loud noises. Close the curtains and blinds inside your home and turn ON all the lights in the room. This will make the bright lights from fireworks less noticeable to your dog. There’s also some small degree of soundproofing afforded by closed drapes, lowering the high-pitched sounds a tiny bit.\r\n\r\nNew research posits that standard allopathic medicines prescribed for noise phobia can actually worsen fears because while they may immobilize the dog, they do not relieve anxiety.  They can “scramble” a dog’s perception. The dog can be fully aware of the frightening stimulus (e.g. fireworks sounds) but be physically unable to move. Sounds cruel to me. Additionally, his senses may be heightened or confused by medication, upping his fear level and ultimately worsening his phobia. Studies show that sound sensitivity can broaden so poor pet can develop anxiety reactions to thunder, airplanes, truck engines or even the sound of a metal pan hitting the floor.\r\n\r\nHowever, there are several natural remedies that will safely and effectively offset noise phobias and hands-on techniques to reduce stress. A ThunderShirt is a great purchase for your anxious pet, useful in all anxiety-producing situations — storms, hunting season, grabby toddlers and loud-mouthed relatives.\r\n\r\nTheoretically, a rousing game of fetch or a very long walk earlier in the day may tire your dog so he may be less likely to over-exert himself later if/when he becomes stressed from the sound of fireworks.  I’ve found, though, that fear trumps fatigue most of the time. You can give it a try; it might work.\r\n\r\nAnd most importantly, in this county with its high numbers of euthanizations, be sure your dog has over-adequate identification before the Fourth rolls around.  Shelters nationwide always have an increase in lost dogs on the Fourth — dogs have been known to dig under fences, climb over fences, break through glass windows and doors, to bolt free. If he manages to escape his confinement, the worst thing would be, well, you know what the worst thing would be.\r\n\r\nIf you look at this holiday as your dog does, then you’ll do the right thing.\r\n<div></div>', 'The most horrible day of the year, for dogs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-most-horrible-day-of-the-year-for-dogs-2', '', '', '2014-06-25 20:39:56', '2014-06-26 00:39:56', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17268', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17277, 4, '2014-06-25 20:43:49', '2014-06-26 00:43:49', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nI suppose we have to accept certain facts in life. One of those facts, as it applies to us today, is that presentation is everything. When it comes to wine, attractive labels and interesting bottle sizes and colors make for visually tempting options on the shelf. This week’s wine from the Rioja region in Spain takes presentation to the next level, and comes in its own wooden box.\r\n\r\nSpain is the most widely planted wine producing country in the world. But, only the third largest wine producing country. Only? And, why?  Because the climate in Spain is warm and dry and to produce their best wines they need to limit their vines’ yields. In consumption, Spain is ninth in the world.\r\n\r\nThere are many native grapes in the country. Archeologists believe vines were grown in Spain as early as between 4,000 and 3,000 BC — a long time before the Phoenicians and the Carthaginians and the Romans. Still, though, the Romans, when they ruled the Iberian Peninsula, developed Spanish grape growing and winemaking to a great extent. Spanish wines were shipped to many parts of the empire, including Gaul, Normandy, and Britain.\r\n\r\nAfter the fall of the Roman Empire, invading barbaric tribes did little to continue or better the wine industry in Spain. Interestingly, the Moors who followed, despite being Muslim with their Islamic dietary laws that forbade the use of alcohol, were ambiguous in their position toward wine production in Spain. When colonies in the New World opened new opportunities to Europeans, Spanish wines were exported further than ever.\r\n\r\nLooking at the climate of Spain, and its geography, a vast plateau known as the Meseta Central covers much of central Spain. Several principal rivers flow from there through the heart of many wine regions, including Rioja.  The more inland, closer to the Meseta Central, the climate gets much warmer. Many wine regions get less than 12 inches of rain a year. And summer temperatures can regularly go over 100 degrees. One answer to cool off the vines, and make better wines, has been to plant them at higher elevations.\r\n\r\nSpanish wine laws were enacted in 1932, and revised in 1970. The top level is DO with two regions at a higher, better quality level known as DOCa — Rioja and Priorat. Rioja was declared first, in 1991, and Priorat in 2003. Rioja, we have learned before, is known mostly for its red wines based on the Tempranillo grape, but they also produce white and rosé wines. This region is about 75 square miles in size with about 123,000 acres planted, about 60 percent of the whole. Tempranillo is the main variety planted, followed by Viura (white), Garnacha (red), Graciano (red), and Mazuelo (red).\r\n\r\nThe first written mention of Rioja wine comes from 1063, but there is evidence of grapes growing there from 873. Wines from Rioja, the red ones,  are sold in four categories. “Rioja” is the youngest wine, with less than a year of barrel aging. A “Crianza” is aged for at least two years, at least one in barrels. “Rioja Reserva” is aged for at least three years, at least one in barrels. And “Rioja Gran Reserva” is aged at least two years in oak and at least three years in its bottle.  For sure, each of these progressively older wines get progressively more expensive. More complex. More intense.\r\n\r\nTempranillo is a black grape. Its name comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” meaning “early.” It does ripen about two weeks earlier than most other red varieties grown in Spain. Tempranillo has been grown on the Iberian Peninsula since the Phoenicians came. Because of the great red wines of Rioja, it is known as Spain’s “noble” grape. It grows especially well in chalky soil and usually shows plum and strawberry flavors. Across most of Spain, their are clones and mutations of Tempranillo growing in many areas.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets us to our producer for this week’s wine — Ramón Bilbao. Wineries in Spain are usually called “bodegas,” with about 150 in Rioja. This bodega was founded in 1924 by Ramón Bilbao Murga. He was an experienced grape grower and a pioneer in the art of aging his wines. The winery was handed down, from generation to generation, until 1966 when Ramón Bilbao Pozo, the last descendent, died. In 1972, a corporation was formed to continue the work of their founder by making aged wines. Then, in 1999, new owners renovated the bodega and its facilities. By 2006, they were making top quality wines.\r\n\r\nMost of the buildings at Bodega Ramón Bilbao have been there since 1972. They house stainless steel vats with temperature controls and a wide upper entrance to keep stirring and other manual work with the juice in the vats easier. Barrel rooms are grouped together with climate controls and the bottling room is in an underground cavern.\r\n\r\nRamón Bilbao owns about 185 acres of top quality Rioja vineyard land. Their theory of winemaking includes using the best grapes from the best estates and vineyards, barrels made from the best European and American oak, and the best traditions of Rioja and their founder.\r\n\r\nOur Ramón Bilbao wine is their Rioja. Made from 100 percent Tempranillo. For this wine, each parcel of grapes is picked separately. And each parcel is fermented separately. With temperature controls, punching down the caps of skins that form on the top of the vats, and individual timing, each parcel of grapes is made into the best wine it can be. Then, the parcels are blended before aging in oak barrels.\r\n\r\nThe wine is a cherry red color with intense aromas of ripe, red berries, bay leaf and minerals, even some cocoa, if you sniff hard enough. It tastes fresh in your mouth with red currants and strawberries coming first, followed by baking spices (barrel flavors) and vanilla. All with a long, lingering finish. Yum!\r\n\r\nBesides Spanish foods such as a nice paella, this wine pairs well with seafood, poultry, charcuterie and cheese plates, olives, pasta with olive oil, and, my favorite, Machego cheese.\r\n\r\nFor only $12.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island, and that includes the  wooden box.

A gentle nudge from the edge of reason and a slight thump from the hand of humanity is all that threads the final cloth of the quilt of life. Day turns to night and night turns to day with no discrimination or differentiation. We are able to compartmentalize, categorize and rationalize events by intensity of action. That which requires little energy becomes sanctuary from that which requires thought. The intersection of What the Heck and Why Not is poetically named parenthood.\r\n\r\nHaving now traveled along the parenthood path for the entirety of eight full months, I am an obvious expert in everything I don’t know, should have known, should have done and certainly shouldn’t have said. It is a badge of courage I wear proudly, when I don’t forget it in her diaper bag. The adorable books coated in fairy tales and free advice that lined her nursery shelves are now her basic chew toys and weapons to wield upon my once spoiled dog. The closet of once pristinely precious clothes are now characterized by the degree of stain, since baby food takes no prisoners. The crib that I wistfully watched for three months is now seen by its tiny occupant as a mortal enemy of which to avoid at all costs. Those sweet lace-trimmed headbands and bows are but a tool of distraction while attempting to put a diaper on a little lady who prefers au natural over a covered derriere. Sweet, soothing lullabies have given way to creative ad libs that will never earn me Mom of the Year. This new job requires an all new skill set that changes the moment any mastery occurs.\r\n\r\nHaving always been somewhat of a quick study, parenthood baffles me into an oblivion. Ingrained in my very being is the belief that nothing is impossible, yet opening a tiny container of sweet potato puree while holding the future kickboxing queen of the world is, for all practical purposes, impossible.\r\n\r\nFinding common ground with any adversary has been relatively easy for me. However, finding common ground with a tea cup version of myself over the necessity of sleep has proven to be a battle I shall wage with little hope of victory and no hope of surrender. Proudly, I implemented every Googled remedy of proper parenting only to end the day violating every recommended procedure given. Clearly, parenting is subjective.\r\n\r\nSilence was once my solace, now it is my cue to rush to see what calamity has ensued. My life once had a clear rhythm, a simplicity of being and moments of rest. The only rhythm that remains now is the cadence of my feet back and forth to the changing station. It is a glorious whirlwind of pride and fear doused in the storms of self-doubt. It is a true test of character, a trial of triumph and a tale of a Mom in the making. There shall be epic battles, moments of valor and twists and turns that will pale even the greatest of novels — and that is just during the fastening of the car seat.\r\n\r\nI have met my match, my most worthy of opponents, my greatest challenge of all and she has familiar eyes, a formidable determination and a flair for the dramatic.

Unfortunately, it also makes you the most vulnerable user of the road.\r\n\r\nIn 2010, more than 4,200 pedestrians were killed in traffic deaths while another 70,000 were injured. So whatever your destination, it’s good you take some simple steps to keep you and your family safe.\r\n\r\n<b>When You’re Walking</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Use sidewalks.</b> When available, they are the safest place to walk. If no sidewalk is provided, it is usually safer to walk facing road traffic, but use extreme caution. Stay off freeways and other restricted zones.\r\n\r\n<b>Be visible.</b> Light colors and clothes with reflective materials make you stand out. If you’re in a very dark area, you might want to carry a flashlight to help see where you’re going and make yourself more visible.\r\n\r\n<b>Stay alert. </b>There are a lot of distracted drivers on the road, so be aware at all times. Don’t allow your vision to be blocked by clothing or hats or yourself to get distracted using your cell phone. Making eye contact with drivers when crossing a busy street is a good way for them to recognize you.\r\n\r\n<b>Avoid alcohol and drugs. </b>They can greatly impair your ability to walk safely and make good decisions. Of all the pedestrians killed in traffic accidents in 2010, 33% were legally intoxicated.\r\n\r\n<b>Cross streets at a corner. </b>While it may be tempting to cross mid-block, this is where most injuries occur. Using traffic signals and crosswalks is much safer, especially in high-traffic areas.\r\n\r\n<b>Look both ways. </b>Look left, then right, then left again before crossing. Keep your eyes open as you cross and be aware that drivers might not see you even though you can see them.\r\n\r\n<b>Be especially careful at intersections. </b>This is where many drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way while turning onto another street. Watch and follow the pedestrian signal, not the traffic signal.\r\n\r\n<b>Watch out for parked vehicles.</b> Parking lots can be especially dangerous as most drivers have a limited view when backing out.\r\n\r\n<b>Use caution around driveways and alley entrances.</b> Drivers are often not expecting anyone to be walking there and extra attention is required.\r\n\r\n<b>When You’re Driving</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Be aware of children. </b>They are often impulsive and can dart out in the street at any time. Follow the speed limit and be especially cautious around residential neighborhoods and school zones.\r\n\r\n<b>Yield to pedestrians.</b> When making a turn and waiting for an opening in traffic, be aware that pedestrians may have moved into your path. They always have the right-of-way.\r\n\r\n<b>Be cautious around driveways and alleys.</b> When entering and exiting, these can be very difficult places to spot pedestrians. Keep a close lookout, and if you can’t see clearly, slow down.\r\n\r\n<b>Reduce distractions.</b> Spotting pedestrians requires your full attention. Using a cell phone, eating and drinking, talking to passengers, reading a map, or changing the radio station only makes it more difficult and dangerous.\r\n\r\n<b>Approach crosswalks carefully.</b> If a pedestrian is crossing or about to cross, stop well back so drivers in other lanes also have time to yield. Do not pass another vehicle that has stopped for pedestrians.\r\n\r\nRemember, awareness is always key no matter how you get around. A little common sense and good judgment can help everyone safely share the road.', 'Pedestrian safety tips', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'pedestrian-safety-tips', '', '', '2014-06-25 21:05:43', '2014-06-26 01:05:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17295', 0, 'post', '', 0),

If so, give yourself permission to simply declare that your “Zen Bubble” is yours and others are not allowed to poke on it, squeeze it, stomp on it or push it into a corner — it is yours to protect at all costs. Inside that “Zen Bubble” is the home to your mind, body and spirit that are designed to work together harmoniously, as long as there are no interferences from within or “out with”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17303\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Martha-Theravista.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17303\" alt=\"Martha O\'Regan of TheraVista.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Martha-Theravista-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Martha O\'Regan of TheraVista.[/caption]\r\n\r\nnegative influences.\r\n\r\nOur “Zen Bubble” is the energy field or aura that surrounds each one of us, both individually and collectively, when connected as a family, a team, a class, or as united spectators at a concert or sporting event. It tends to extend farther in front and above us and is always changing based on our personal thoughts and emotions as well as those around us. It can’t be seen by most, but it is measurable and able to be photographed with special Kirlian photography. Our physical health and well being is often a reflection of what is happening in the field around us. When we are surrounded with love and support, our field can be intertwined with the cohesive positive energy of love and we feel good. Conversely, when in the presence of discontent and upset, the field gets compressed, giving us feelings of anxiety, agitation, tension or “nervous stomach.”\r\n\r\nThe auric field is highly sensitive to its surroundings. For example, have you ever been at a function where a stranger enters and, for no obvious reason, you are instantly drawn to that person? They have an attractable energy field that connects to yours and pulls you in. The opposite can be true when you enter a space where an argument has just occurred or, for no apparent reason, you just get the weebie jeebies. Your field is immediately squeezed and may be repelling you from the perceived “danger” it senses.  Or, maybe you are walking in the woods and instinctively put your hand up to push a way a branch that you sensed before you saw.  Or, you have the music cranked up while busy on a project but able to sense that someone walked in a room even though you didn’t hear them.\r\n\r\nA great way we like demonstrate someone’s energy field is to use a pair of wire coat hangers like a dowsing rod — really, it works. We have the person just stand there being themselves, then think of something that is frustrating and then about something that brings about joy. The field changes instantaneously, compressing for negative patterns and expanding for positive ones. We then have that person think of a goal they are working on and find the distance of the field. Two groups are then asked to take turns standing behind that person, one group simply thinking “I support you” without even knowing the person or the goal and the other group thinking about something that frustrated them that day. The edges of the field will exponentially expand or contract depending on positive or negative support demonstrating the effects of others fields in the presence of our own. They can either squeeze our dreams or help us fly, depending on their field in that moment.\r\n\r\nWe all have the capacity to alter any given moment for ourselves and others depending on the field of thoughts and emotions that we carry within and around our own personal Zen Bubble. Use it to check in and feel what you feel. Do you feel open or tight around the heart/chest area? Are you able to speak with ease or do you suddenly get a “frog” in your throat?

Jessica recently found plans that she drew on construction paper when she was 10: She was going to buy all of Lemon Island and turn it into a huge veterinary hospital and sanctuary for unwanted animals.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17368\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"287\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Profile-Jessica-and-Hampton-Long.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17368\" alt=\"Jessica Rockwell-Long and Hampton Long.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Profile-Jessica-and-Hampton-Long-287x300.jpg\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" /></a> Jessica Rockwell-Long and Hampton Long.[/caption]\r\n\r\nToday,  years later, Jessica’s husband, Hampton Long, is secretary of the board of trustees that is building the Maritime Center on Lemon Island, dedicated to preserving the area’s delicate marine ecosystem and educating children about the fish and crustaceans that live among the salt marshes. Although their backgrounds are different, Jessica and Hampton’s combined desire to do their part to help has come full circle.\r\n\r\nA passion for animals and a love of medicine made becoming a small animal veterinarian an easy choice for Jessica, who has been a popular vet at Sea Island Animal Hospital for the past 10 years, after graduating magna cum laude from the University of Georgia Veterinary School.\r\n\r\nHer family is originally from Minnesota, and moved to Beaufort in 1975 to the Cuthbert House, before it was a bed and breakfast. Her mother, Judy Rockwell, was a captain in the Navy and now is program manager for SC Department of Health and Environmental Control. Her father David Rockwell, was a teacher for 40 years and the technology coordinator for Beaufort County School District.\r\n\r\nHampton Long grew up in New York City and Greenwich, Conn. His parents, Catey and T. Michael Long, both had Southern roots. They longed to return to the South when they started contemplating retirement, and bought a house on Spring Island in 1998. The family quickly became enchanted with the beauty and history of Beaufort.\r\n\r\nHampton is a Harvard graduate, has a law degree from Vanderbilt and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Finance and Accounting from Wharton School of Business. After a stint in Frankfurt, Germany, as a financial analyst, he developed his skills in the field of venture capital while working in Philadelphia, where he found it to be very rewarding assisting innovative early-stage companies along the development curve. But he disliked the winters there, so he was elated in 2010 when his father — a general partner at Brown Brothers Harriman &amp; Company — and he were presented with the opportunity to start their own healthcare and energy-focused venture capital firm, Caswell Investments, LLC, in “Beautiful Beaufort.” As senior vice president, Hampton oversees all the research, financial analysis and due diligence for Caswell’s perspective investment and advisory opportunities.\r\n\r\nSays Hampton, “Professionally, to sit at the right hand of one of the very best and well-respected investment practitioners in the industry was a compellingly unique opportunity. The fact that my co-founder would be my best friend and father made it a true blessing. The experience has been everything I hoped and so much more.” He adds, “I particularly enjoy that as venture capitalist investors and advisors — from where we sit — the future is a very exciting place with significant steps forward coming in both medical technology and energy.”\r\n\r\nJessica recalls how she met her husband: “Alison Guilloud  and  Melanie McCaffree did us the biggest favor of our lives four years ago by deciding that they should set us up. The McCaffrees are dear friends of the Longs and invited Hampton over for dinner. Alison asked me to come along. He called me a few days later, and the rest is history. I married the most amazing man! We are so blessed to have found each other. He is the kindest, wittiest man with a fierce loyalty for anyone or anything he loves. I can’t wait to get home to him. We just genuinely enjoy each other!”\r\n\r\nHampton adds, “In addition to being beautiful inside and out, Jessica is easily among the smartest people I have ever met in my life and truly my confidant and best advocate. We have experienced many of the same up’s and down’s in life and are blessed to be able to draw great strength from each other’s perspectives. Ultimately, to be able to call Jessica my wife will always be my greatest accomplishment.”\r\n\r\nThey both are fans of Beaufort. Jessica says, “We love being close to family and friends. Growing up here, I never thought I would return to Beaufort. That’s what most native Beaufortonians say when they leave, and yet, here we all reside!”\r\n\r\nSays Hampton, “I love Beaufortonians’ warm and welcoming nature, their care and responsible stewardship of the area’s rich history and natural beauty and their strong sense of service to their neighbors — both through faith-based and secular charitable organizations. Having lived in many places, it is truly a wonderful combination that is rarely replicated anywhere else.”\r\n\r\nIn their giving back to Beaufort, Hampton has been involved in several charitable organizations besides board secretary of the Port Royal Sound Foundation since 2012. He’s been a council member at St. John’s Lutheran Church since 2013 and recently became a board member of the Open Land Trust. Jessica has been a member of the Junior Service League of Beaufort since 2005 and is currently co-chair of the Sustainer’s Project. She chaired a committee for Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Valentine’s Ball this past year, and provides ongoing support of the Hilton Head Humane Association and Beaufort County Animal Shelter.\r\n\r\nThe couple avidly supports the nonprofit Port Royal Sound Foundation and looks forward to the new Maritime Education Center being constructed at the old Lemon Island Marina site on S.C. 170 that is due to open later this year. Among many other initiatives, the center’s programs will provide a place for area students to learn about the sound’s rich ecosystem and all the fish, crustaceans and wildlife that make their special home there.

He is the first two-time winner of this award, which he also won in 1999.\r\n\r\nChief Kline has served as president of the association and has been an executive committee member for nearly 20 years. He is a South Carolina Firefighter Hall of Famer and has been awarded the Medal of Valor for an act of bravery.  He has spent his career training firefighters and educating the public on fire safety.  He has led the charge in South Carolina teaching people the importance of residential sprinklers and continues to be committed to the state’s fire service.\r\n\r\nChief Kline was raised in Ogdensburg, N.Y., and came to Beaufort in 1980 by way of the United States Marine Corps.  He began his career at Beaufort City Fire Department in 1984.  He became the fire chief of Fripp Island 1991, and in 2005 he became the chief of the Lady’s Island – St. Helena Fire District, where he continues to serve and lead.\r\n\r\nAlso at the conference, Chief Will Vaignuer was sworn in as president of the association at the Transfer of Command Ceremony.\r\n\r\nChief Vaignuer was born in Beaufort, and grew up in Port Royal with parents Benny and Linda and sister Angel. He graduated from Beaufort High School, and is married to Monica and has two kids — a son Ben, 18, and a daughter Chase, 10.\r\n\r\nHe joined the fire service in 1999. Chief Vaignuer said, “I have spent my entire career serving the citizens of Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District.  Worked my way up through the ranks and was promoted to lieutenant over the training division in 2005.  Earned the rank of captain in 2008. In 2011, I returned to shift work as a battalion chief.”\r\n\r\nHis first involvement with the South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association came in 2007 when he assisted with the planning for the funerals for the Charleston 9. “Fire Chief Bruce Kline invited me in to build the command structure for these funerals,” he described. “Here, I was able to get an inside look at the great things that the association does for the firefighters of this state. From that moment, I knew that I wanted to be an active member of our association and do all that I could do for the firefighters in this state.  My involvement in honoring these nine firefighters continues to be one of my proudest moments.”\r\n\r\nBecause of his work in Charleston, he was appointed to the Member’s Benefits Chair in 2008. He was then elected to the office of 4th Vice President in 2010.\r\n\r\nThe South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association is made up of 17,500 firefighters from all around the state.  The firefighters represent 500 different fire departments.\r\n\r\nChief Vaignuer says, “I entered the fire service to make a difference in the community.  By being in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, I have been able to make a difference in the South Carolina Fire Service.”\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>', 'Fighting fires, earning honors', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'fighting-fires-earning-honors', '', '', '2014-06-25 21:58:26', '2014-06-26 01:58:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17351', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17427, 4, '2014-07-03 20:04:59', '2014-07-04 00:04:59', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen I came to the Lowcountry seven years ago, the word “organic” had not yet arrived. It is fairly common now though used in a fairly cavalier manner as is “natural” (a word that means nothing) and now, “holistic”, a word that has been adopted to placate a growing demand for “wellness”, and you know how I feel about <i>that</i> word. So, what does holistic mean now that we see it attached to local veterinary practices?  What <i>should</i> it mean?\r\n\r\nTraditional veterinary practice (conventional) is much like what Western medicine is for humans. The focus is aimed at determining what the problem is and then trying to solve it. It is based primarily in pharmacological medicine. A traditional veterinarian may very well have your pet’s best interest at heart, but he or she is sometimes at a loss as to how best solve a chronic or undetermined condition. Western veterinary medicine offers all the diagnostic doo-dads — ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, all the way up to organ transplants and, as many of us know, tend to run up the bill. They will vaccinate pets every year and sell you all kinds of pesticides to put in or on your animal.\r\n\r\nHolistic veterinarians practice a more Eastern thought in that the body is treated as an individual, and as a whole. While two different patients may present similar symptoms, their respective treatments may be quite dissimilar. In addition, holistic veterinarian practice is centered on keeping the pet healthy overall to prevent issues from starting. When a chronic issue surfaces, holistic veterinarians are likely to look first to whole food diets, herbal supplements,  nutraceuticals and complementary and alternative therapies such as chiropractic, homeopathy, acupuncture, essential oils and energy healing (Reiki).  They do not over-vaccinate nor do they recommend poisons oral or topical.\r\n\r\nDiseases are seen as a natural course of life and not necessarily something to ‘solve.’ Moreover, health and disease are viewed as a natural rhythm of life and fully inter-related. Holistic medicine is about finding the root cause of a problem and treating from there, not simply treating the symptom. Often, it’s not the “quick fix” Americans have come to expect. For instance, steroids will stop your dog from itching in a few hours but why is your dog itching in the first place? For sure, you’ll be back in three weeks for another shot when Doodle begins to dig at her belly. A holistic vet works with the animals than rather than do battle against their disease symptoms. He’ll ask about food, lifestyle, reaction to stimuli (heat and cold, sound, dampness, etc.). He’ll ask about your dog’s <i>spirit</i>.\r\n\r\nAn integrative approach is one that combines conventional practice with holistic practice. These vets have a firm ground in traditional medicine, but recognize that holistic medicine is a valuable addition and, in some cases, be the best course of action. This type of veterinarian realizes that conventional and holistic medicine can complement one another. This is the kind of doc I look for.\r\n\r\nI worked with and trained under many fine (and now famous) integrative vets in New England and was disheartened to learn that like “organic”, holistic hadn’t yet made it to this area. However, I recently found Charlie Timmerman, DVM, member of the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) at the Aiken Veterinary Clinic.\r\n\r\nSeven of my dog friends are now friends of Dr. Charlie. Four of those friends were sent home to die, one had chronic itches, one has heart disease and one a rare auto-immune disorder. The dogs sent home to die from various cancers have all had a drastic reduction in tumor size, they’re healthier than they have ever been (most likely), some have had ancillary ailments vanish along the way and all are doing well.  My itchy friend is in a one-year program to forever eradicate the cause of her “allergy”, a process that involves homeopathy, auto-sanguis treatment and a recently added clinical trial. None of the treatments involve synthetic pharmaceuticals and all included a drastic change of diet — healthy fresh foods and raw proteins. The owners of the death sentence dogs are delighted they have a few more years with their Best Friends. And, it’s all pretty easy and infinitely cheaper.  It takes a little more time, but I’m willing to give time to the creatures I love.\r\n\r\nAs for Dr. Charlie, he’s in the office Mondays and Thursdays.\r\n<div></div>', 'What is a holistic vet?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-is-a-holistic-vet', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:04:59', '2014-07-04 00:04:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17427', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(17429, 4, '2014-07-03 20:05:42', '2014-07-04 00:05:42', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nI do realize that all is not always happy on the homefront, but for most of us, a glass of wine helps. And this week we can learn about a new wine that not only tastes great but also benefits service members and their families — that’s enough to make any American happy during this Fourth of July weekend.\r\n\r\nWe travel to California, the source for about 90 percent of the wine made in the United States. Wine production in California dates back to the 18th century when Spanish missionaries planted vineyards in order to make wines for Mass. Today there are more than 1,200 wineries, all different sizes and production levels and all making the best wines they can.\r\n\r\nOver the years, as the wine industry in California has grown, wine makers have developed a fruit-forward style for their wines; many of them ready to drink when they are purchased, or close to that. Other countries have chosen to make wines in this style, and it has become known as New World style.\r\n\r\nMore than 100 red and white grape varieties are grown in California. The diversity of soil types and climates spread throughout the state has enabled wineries to make a huge range of styles of wine, all with great success.\r\n\r\nThis week we are going to look to Sonoma County for our wine. Sonoma, the town, was the most northern of the Spanish missions established in California and it was the capital city of the California Republic — a short-lived entity resulting from the ousting of the Mexican colony. Still, today, it is the center of the wine business in the county. A visit to the town Sonoma lets you get a sense of its Spanish and Mexican beginnings — it was laid out like a traditional Spanish town where the streets run off from a large central plaza. Sonoma’s city hall, built early in the 20th century, is located in the center of the plaza. There are also about 30 restaurants around the plaza, so you can see what’s important there.\r\n\r\nSonoma is known as birthplace of American California. The Bear Flag was first raised in the plaza on June 14, 1986. After the Mexican-American War that followed the revolt in Sonoma, the Spanish leader General Vallejo was imprisoned and the United States flag was raised.\r\n\r\nCalifornia’s oldest wine festival is at Valley of the Moon winery every September in Sonoma. The climate in Sonoma County is Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Rainfall averages about 30 inches every year, and snow is rare.\r\n\r\nOur winery this week, Murphy-Goode, was founded in 1985 by three friends: Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready. Their first wines were a Fumé Blanc and a Chardonnay, made from grapes grown on the Murphy Ranch. Today, Dave Ready, Jr. is the winemaker. He grew up in Minnesota but wanted to be a rock star. So, he moved to California, ended up at the winery where his dad worked and became the assistant winemaker in 1997. In 2001, he became the head winemaker. Dave still likes to play and write some songs, but his passion for wine is just as strong — the artistic urge is satisfied with both. And, he’s loyal to the Minnesota Vikings too. The football team’s purple color is on all of Dave’s wine labels.\r\n\r\nOur wine, the Murphy-Goode Homefront Red, is another passion for everyone at the winery. For each bottle sold of this wine, the winery gives $.50 cents to Operation Homefront. This is a nonprofit organization that provides financial help and other assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. (This charity is rated four stars by watchdog Charity Navigator. Ninety-four percent of their revenue goes to Operation Homefront.)  And, while $.50 cents from each bottle might not sound like a lot, there is no cap on how much the winery will give. (The donation amount from the 2011 production will be close to $300,000 from 54,000 cases.) And the are possible plans for another vintage that will raise more. That means if we keep buying this wine, they will keep giving. Also, Murphy-Goode makes no profit for themselves on this wine. Helping service members and their families was a choice Dave, Jr. made because his father served in Vietnam, both grandfathers were in World War II, and his great-grandfather was in World War I.\r\n\r\nSo, what is this wine? It is a red blend that, according to the winery, was a pretty easy blend to develop: Dave sat down, tasted a few bits of a few wines, and voilà. The predominant grape is Syrah, giving great texture to the wine. There is also some Merlot for fruitiness and smoothness, some Zinfandel added for spicy flavors, and a bit of Petit Sirah gives structure. All grapes are aged in American and French oak barrels.\r\n\r\nThe finished wine has very pleasant aromas — vanilla and oaky notes with plenty of dark berry fruits. Black cherry and blackberry lead the flavors, followed with more vanilla, some cocoa powder, some black pepper spice and baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The tannins are soft so the textures are smooth and inviting.\r\n\r\nI know we only have the one vintage of this wine, because they’ve only made one so far, but it is worth trying while we can. The suggested retail price is $15 dollars. But you can find it at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $11.99. And, for you real fans? There are three big bottles, three liter bottles, available at $39.99 — that’s the equivalent amount of wine from four bottles, for $10 a bottle. For sure, you might need a few friends to share it with, but drinking together is why we taste and learn about the wine in the first place. And, with this wine, we are helping our service members and their families. Seems like a lot of good reasons why all is happy on the homefront.

The program will begin at the school in August.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Learning Center Fund, established through the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF), held its annual meeting on May 22 to receive progress reports from the various institutions to which the fund grants awards. The organizations served this calendar year include The Boys &amp; Girls Club of the Lowcountry, Bridges Preparatory School, Penn Center, St. Peter’s Catholic School and Beaufort County School District’s Child Find Expansion Grant. The fund has also granted awards to John Paul II Catholic School and AMIkids, who will begin Learning Centers at each respective location this August. And, Holy Trinity Christian School has submitted a grant application for next year as well.\r\n\r\nBoard Members of The Learning Center Fund present at the meeting were Malcolm Goodridge, David House and Charles Kresch. Also in attendance were Edna Davis, regional vice president for CCF, and D. C. Gilley, CCF board member.\r\n\r\nCollectively, all of the institutions showed great progress with an increase in students’ test scores, more focused behavior and greater confidence in reading and math. Students served in this program this year ranged from 2 years old to those in twelfth grade.\r\n\r\nThe youngest of children served in Beaufort County were assisted by a team of three early childhood professionals within the County’s School District Child Find Expansion Grant. An extensive media campaign was launched to target public and private schools, child care centers, pediatricians, medical facilities and community agencies serving children and families, and monthly screening sites were set up. Child Find purchased assessment materials and readiness packets, and the school district developed an extensive data collection system for the grant, capable of monitoring and tracking results.\r\n\r\nTo date, 166 children have been screened, and 102 were identified and referred to preschool programs. Through vision, hearing, speech and development data collected for each child, the team identified 20 children in need of further formal evaluation. Twelve of these children became enrolled in Early Childhood Special Education Intervention programs last year thanks to the grant from The Learning Center Fund.\r\n\r\nKay Newsome, Child Find’s director, explains, “We feel the grant has already surpassed our expectations for the current year, and screening opportunities are still under way.”\r\n\r\nLaura McAlhaney, The Learning Center Coach at Bridges Preparatory School, agrees. “The best thing about this generously funded program is that coaching has touched the lives of 34 learners here at Bridges,” she says.\r\n\r\nMcAlhaney developed a Qualifying Rubric at the beginning of the year to identify students who could potentially use the services of the center. The rubric indicated that 100 percent of students receiving services showed improvement in one of more areas of classroom behavior, academic skills, cognitive/processing/memory skills and classroom performance skills.\r\n\r\n“Using MAP testing scores as a measurement tool, 60 percent of students enrolled with TLC made gains of one or more years, and 100 percent showed these same gains using the Fountas &amp; Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System,” explained McAlhaney.\r\n\r\nSt. Peter’s Catholic School also used the Fountas &amp; Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System. Of the 16 students given reading services, 100 percent made gains. Some made as many as seven or eight levels, and one student tested out of the program in January.\r\n\r\nNancy Kessel and Pam Pesavento are the Learning Center reading coaches at St. Peter’s, and Joe Benning, the school’s principal, is the math coach who served seven students.\r\n\r\nTwo organizations that benefitted from The Learning Center Fund were after-school programs at Penn Center and The Boys &amp; Girls Club of the Lowcountry.\r\n\r\nPenn Center’s coach, Ruby Jackson, identified 15 students with learning differences by obtaining BCSD reports from parents. Tutors were assigned based on age, and 100% of the students served improved academically and exhibited better social interaction by the school year’s end. As opposed to other programs, Penn Center’s teachers had the ability to discuss student’s progress with parents each afternoon at pick up, which gave the teachers a communication advantage and the opportunity to have one-on-one conferences.\r\n\r\nOne of the proudest accomplishments Jackson witnessed this year was watching a student climb from a 17 percent grade point average for his age to a 75 percent.\r\n\r\nShe adds, “I can see differences, not only academically, but in their attitudes as well. The extra attention is helping their self-esteem, which is necessary for future success.”\r\n\r\nThe other after school program was located at The Boys &amp; Girls Club and was administered by Erin Ruth. She serviced nine children directly, but over 100 received academic support.\r\n\r\n“The direct support to these nine students allowed them to maintain their skill levels and graduate to the next grade level. Without this program, these students would have fallen through the cracks,” explains Ruth.\r\n\r\nThe Boys &amp; Girls Club will be moving this summer due to modification of classrooms at Bridges Preparatory School, which is located at the Boundary Street facility. The Learning Center will be offered this summer at its temporary location at Shanklin School for an eight-week program. It started on June 9th and will focus on eliminating the summer learning loss using funds from this grant.\r\n\r\nImplementation of The Learning Center at John Paul II Catholic School begins in August. The school has hired its Learning Center coach, Carol Martos, and a math tutor, Marie Nicksa. Enrollment for the upcoming school year has more than doubled, and the school district has tested three of the school’s students with another two pending as having learning differences. This is in addition to six who have already been identified as having dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).\r\n\r\nSister Pamela Smith, SS.C.M., Ph.D. is the school’s principal.\r\n\r\n“The school is committed to offering as much as possible to its students. In addition to having staff of The Learning Center, we also hired two teachers who are certified in the education of gifted and talented students to assure that we truly meet the needs of students with a full spectrum of abilities,” she says.\r\n\r\nEach organization was given a grant between $5,000 and $50,000 from The Learning Center Fund and was required to match funds. All organizations will continue their respective Learning Center programs for the 2014/2015 academic year.\r\n\r\nTo understand students who learn differently is to understand educational research and the practice of knowing the whole child as a learner. Research and understanding dictates the need to individualize student learning, wherein educators recognize and build upon a student’s strengths while simultaneously providing remediation and support for areas of weakness. Based on this knowledge and best practice, The Learning Center Fund recognizes that basically all children can be identified as learning differently — that is what makes each student an individual.\r\n\r\nFor more information about The Learning Center Fund, to donate to its endowment or to inquire about a grant application, please contact the Coastal Community Foundation’s Beaufort office at 843-379-3400 or its Charleston office at 843-723-3635.\r\n<div></div>', 'The Learning Center Fund receives progress reports', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-learning-center-fund-receives-progress-reports', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:11:14', '2014-07-04 00:11:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17434', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This year’s decision was made not only to save money, but also as a fitting way for Parris Island to share the holiday with its neighbors.\r\n\r\n“Having the Parris Island band is the highlight of our annual Fourth celebration. The fireworks are good and the food and drink good, but folks now anticipate bringing their chairs and enjoying the patriotic songs that are the prelude to the fireworks,” said Joe Lee, Port Royal town council member. “The Town of Port Royal is honored to have the presence of our Marines at this special event.”\r\n\r\nThe Parris Island Marine Band’s primary mission is to provide musical support for recruit graduations and other military ceremonies and events.

For adults, dental myths that may lead to a wiser you and a healthier mouth.\r\n\r\n<b>“I haven’t seen the dentist in years so I don’t have any cavities.” </b>NOT TRUE. Many dental issues do not cause pain until they have progressed very far, for example, a root canal. Gum disease, on the other hand, may not cause any pain at all. Seeing your dentist regularly is the only way to ensure you don’t have any of these issues. Your visit to the dentist should be based on your individual needs. Many studies have shown that plaque can build up in as little as 90 days, which leads to inflammation and infection that can affect your entire body. So if you want a really healthy smile, and body, having your teeth cleaned four times a year is the way to go.\r\n\r\n<b>“I don’t eat sweets, so I don’t need to brush as often.” </b>NOT TRUE. Removing the bacteria from your mouth is important no matter what you eat, because many foods are broken down into sugars. What are the worst offenders for your grill? Foods that stick to the teeth like raisins and fruit rollups, along with foods that have a high acid content, such as citrus fruits.\r\n\r\n<b>“Flossing is as important as brushing.” </b>TRUE. Flossing removes almost half of the bacteria and food particles that are found in your mouth after you eat; not flossing means you’re doing half the job.\r\n\r\n<b>“Hard bristled toothbrushes clean better.”</b> NOT TRUE (unless you are cleaning the grout on the bathroom tile floor instead of your teeth!) The softer the better for bristles — hard or medium bristles can damage teeth and worsen gum recession due to a traumatic occlusion. Also, studies show that high-quality electric toothbrushes with soft bristles are a great investment because they clean better than manual tooth brushes.\r\n\r\n<b>“Mouthwash is the best way to freshen your breath.”</b> NOT TRUE. Most mouthwashes cover bad breath but they do not treat the underlying cause. Bad breath can be caused by bacteria in your mouth, cavities, gum disease, or it may be a sign of other medical issues. Your dentist can help rule out dental issues as the cause. If you like using mouthwash, go with an alcohol-free brand, because the alcohol in mouthwash will dry out your mouth. And while we are talking about fresh breath, sugar free gum with Xylitol is an effective way to get a clean mouth feeling if you can’t brush.\r\n\r\n<b>“Avoiding dark liquids and coffees or drinking through a straw will keep your teeth from getting dark.” </b>MOSTLY TRUE. It’s more than coffee, tea and soda that stain our teeth. Teeth that have wear and enamel loss tend to be darker because those teeth have less of a protective layer against those staining liquids. Foods such as berry pies, soy sauces, red sauces and mustards/ketchups can cause teeth to darken over time. The best way to whiten your teeth and keep them white is to visit your dentist and have him do an in office whitening or make you custom trays. There are some over the counter whitening products like whitening toothpastes, but they typically do very little to whiten teeth. Use regular toothpaste with fluoride to keep your teeth looking great and cavity-free.\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Wallace practices at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort and can be contacted at 843-524-7645 or www.palmettosmilesofbeaufort.com.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Debunking common dental myths among adults', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'debunking-common-dental-myths-among-adults', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:28:03', '2014-07-04 00:28:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17454', 0, 'post', '', 0),

If so, there is nothing you need to change. Keep up the good work!\r\n\r\nIf not, what is the point? When do you plan to begin your extraordinary life?\r\n\r\nBeing over 50 has come with so many gifts. Many of life’s struggles are behind me now. But, in looking around, age doesn’t seem to be a happiness indicator. For many people, the older they get, the more things they find to complain about.\r\n\r\nYou are getting from life <i>exactly</i> what you are giving to it. It is the law — Universal Law. I don’t remember hearing about this in school. In fact, I did not know about universal laws until I was almost 40. What a relief to know why my life was not working.\r\n\r\nEven though God has a sense of humor, the universe does not. Its laws are cold and treat each one of us exactly the same. The universal laws level out the playing field, so to speak.\r\n\r\nI used to think that life was unfair. It appeared that some people were just luckier than I was. It seemed very unjust that anyone was hungry, homeless or sick. It felt terrible to experience the untimely death of a young person. Until, I was introduced to the laws.\r\n\r\nIt doesn’t appear to matter whether we believe in them or not, we are bound to them. Like physical laws, they do not require our understanding. You do not have to understand the mechanics or the dynamics of gravity to be bound to it. When you drop a hammer, be sure your toes are somewhere else.\r\n\r\nWe heard a lot about the Law of Attraction when the book and movie “The Secret” became popular. For some, it was the first time they had ever heard of universal law. And so, I thank all of the authors for introducing the concept of “creating your own reality.” But today I would like to introduce you to one of the lesser known laws: The Law of Reciprocity. Without it, we may find creating our own reality a little challenging.\r\n\r\nThe Law of Reciprocity is all about giving and receiving. It sounds rather elementary, but many of us are not even able to receive a compliment without dodging it; we look down or away. We diminish it with “Oh, this old thing?”\r\n\r\nEnergetically, reciprocity is all about control, or the lack thereof. If you are giving, you are in control of who you give to, what you give, when you give and how much you give. When you are on the receiving end, you control nothing except your response. You cannot control the amount given, the time it is given, the who or the why. You are vulnerable at this point and, generally, humility is the last thing we think of as a tool. Why does a humble “thank you” not seem enough? We want to run out and do something for that person, or buy something to pay them back.\r\n\r\nWhen you receive a kindness from anyone, remember that you are getting from this world exactly what you have put in to it. It is simply your kindness coming back around. Isn’t that cool?\r\n\r\nRecently, Martha O’Regan wrote, “Pre-sent from the past and in to the future,” introducing the idea that the present moment was <b>pre-sent</b> by you. So, enjoy the rewards of being a kind person. Receive gladly the generosity you have shown others. When something seems unfair, go back and look where you sent that from.

Siegel</b>\r\n\r\nI recall a few extraordinary patients during my ophthalmology residency who have left an indelible memory. One such patient was a 13 year old who was playing with an M-80 explosive device that he placed in a soup can. The subsequent explosion sent shards of metal that were absorbed by his face and one of his eyes. The metal perforated his cornea and lens and lodged in the back wall of his eye in his retina. After multiple surgeries, he can see a hand waved in front of his face.\r\n\r\nI really hate to be a buzz kill before this Fourth of July holiday — what should be a time when wonderful memories are made with family and loved ones.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, more than 9,000 fireworks injuries happen each year on average in the United States, with roughly 1 in 8 fireworks injuries harming the eyes, according to the most recent fireworks injury report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Common fireworks eye injuries include burns, lacerations, abrasions, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage and ruptured eyeballs.\r\n\r\nThose injured are not necessarily handling the explosives themselves. In fact, nearly half of people injured by fireworks are bystanders, according to an international study. Children are frequent victims: 30 percent who sustained a fireworks injury near the Fourth of July holiday are ages 15 and under, according to the commission report.\r\n\r\nEven sparklers can burn more than 1,000 degrees hotter than the boiling point of water. So, fireworks should not be thought of as toys, but devices that can cause third-degree burns. This is why people must be vigilant and take precautions to avoid the risk of serious eye injury.\r\n\r\n<b>Fireworks Safety Tips</b>\r\n\r\nThe best way to avoid a potentially blinding fireworks injury is by attending a professional public fireworks show rather than purchasing fireworks for home use.\r\n\r\nFor those who attend professional fireworks displays and/or live in communities surrounding the shows:\r\n\r\n• Respect safety barriers at fireworks shows and view fireworks from at least 500 feet away.\r\n\r\n• Do not touch unexploded fireworks; instead, immediately contact local fire or police departments to help.\r\n\r\nFor those who decide to purchase consumer fireworks because they live in states where they are legal, such as South Carolina, follow the following safety tips to prevent eye injuries:\r\n\r\n• Never let children play with fireworks of any type, even sparklers.\r\n\r\n• Adults handling fireworks should always wear protective eyewear that meets the parameters set by the American National Standards Institute and ensure that all bystanders are also wearing eye protection.\r\n\r\n• Leave the lighting of professional-grade fireworks to trained pyro technicians.\r\n\r\nRemember, if an eye injury from fireworks occurs, seek medical attention immediately.\r\n<div></div>', 'Leave fireworks to professionals this Fourth of July', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'leave-fireworks-to-professionals-this-fourth-of-july', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:29:16', '2014-07-04 00:29:16', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17458', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We got married in the only church that survived the earthquake with the throngs of tourists and locals rejoicing all around, we felt like it was for us. It sounds romantic, and it was!”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17465\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Profile-Corey-Ann-Higgins.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17465\" alt=\"Corey and Ann Higgins are seen at the grand opening of their store Scout Southern Market on Bay Street.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Profile-Corey-Ann-Higgins-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Corey and Ann Higgins are seen at the grand opening of their store Scout Southern Market on Bay Street.[/caption]\r\n\r\nBy the time they decided to move to Beaufort, Corey had spent more than 20 years working in design and marketing for a video game company based in Redwood City, California. Says Corey, “It was a fantastic experience and a great ride but it was time to get off the roller coaster. I wanted less travel, more family time and to pursue a business that my wife and I could do together.”\r\n\r\nAnn, whose degree was in fashion merchandising, was the one who got Beaufort on their radar. She said, “Our first visit to Beaufort was 15 years ago.  Corey had an eight-week sabbatical from work and we decided to take the time to travel the U.S. I had recently read the book ‘Beach Music’ and wanted to see if Beaufort was as romantic and beautiful as Pat Conroy describes. It most certainly is! We spent a lovely day strolling the Point and soaking in the beauty and elegance of Beaufort. We were fortunate to see a lot of towns and cities on that trip, but the one place that stuck in our minds the most was that little gem of a town tucked away in the Sea Islands. Over the past 15 years we continued to visit and eventually decided to make the move.”\r\n\r\nOne year ago, the Higgins family moved to a house on the Point from San Francisco, and Beaufort turned out to be everything they hoped it would.\r\n\r\nThey have two wonderful children — Emma, 13, and Rowan, 10, who both attend Beaufort Academy.\r\n\r\nSays Corey, “I love how welcoming and supportive everyone has been. We come from a place where everyone is glued to their smart phones, pre-occupied and over-scheduled. I love that in Beaufort a simple hello can, and often does, turn into a pleasant and genuine conversation.”\r\n\r\nAnn adds, “We also love that we have a wide variety of friends — all from different places, different careers and different ages. Southern culture inspires me. It’s a region unlike others. Southerners are proud of their traditions and style. I think those who have traveled to the South, or relocated to the South, want a piece of it in their lives.”\r\n\r\nThat thinking is what led Ann and Corey to open Scout Southern Market on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. Says Ann, “Our mission with the store is to capture the Southern lifestyle. Corey describes me as a ‘Southern enthusiast.’ I love to discover new things and searching for products and people that inspire me. I get to work directly with amazing and talented people, from local furniture makers to specialty food aficionados.”\r\n\r\nAdds Corey, “You have to be passionate about what you do. It sounds cliché but it’s true. I’ve never worked with someone more passionate about her job than my wife, Ann. It’s been a thrill to support her after she has supported my career for so many years.”\r\n\r\nAnd Ann appreciates the support — from Corey, her children and the town. She said, “Truly, the sincere support from Beaufortonians is amazing. First welcoming us to the area and now dropping by the store giving me well wishes every day.”\r\n\r\nSays Corey, “I’d like to give a shout out to the delivery men and women who service downtown Beaufort. It can be a tricky and stressful job. I never really realized it until I started helping unload commercial refrigerators and dining room tables. Thank you! You know who you are!”\r\n\r\nAnn has loved the whole store experience, especially talking with customers. She says, :As a small store owner, it changes every day.  I’m thrilled with how well received the store has been and now my focus is greeting customers and sharing the interesting stories about the Southern-sourced items in our store, which is a thrill and very rewarding.”\r\n\r\nCorey describes his job at Scout Southern Market with a smile: “I’m in charge of back office logistics, the marketing guy, and errand boy. Whatever I can take off of Ann’s plate so she can focus on our customers and the store experience.”\r\n\r\nWhile volunteering to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Corey and Ann first heard the word “lagniappe.” Says Corey, “When we were working through the store concept, we wanted to deliver some ‘lagniappe’ to Beaufort. It’s a Creole word we learned in New Orleans that means ‘a little somethin’ extra.’ Our ‘lagniappe’ is the Sweet Tea Bar in the rear of the store. We wanted to offer our guests some delicious Southern snacks and the chance to ‘sip and shop’ their way through the store.”\r\n\r\nTheir specialty is the Scout Southern Market Iced Tea Float. The tall glass of iced tea topped with lemon or peach sorbet has been a hit with customers.\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Ann says, “I am determined to volunteer at Hunting Island when my schedule settles down a bit.  I have made it a life goal to help the sea turtle hatchlings and plan to host events and raise awareness through Scout Southern Market.”\r\n\r\nThe Higgins also joined Historic Beaufort Foundation and Open Land Trust before they moved to Beaufort, and say they have enjoyed learning more about the area through these organizations.\r\n\r\nCorey says there are plans for an online store in the future, but for now he said, “It’s important for us to get the store experience right before focusing on other things.”\r\n\r\nBe sure to drop by Scout Southern Market and welcome Ann and Corey to the neighborhood.\r\n\r\n<b>Scout Southern Market is located at 709 Bay Street, Beaufort.

The service costs $20 per screening, and annual costs are expected to be around $40,000.\r\n\r\n“Our goal is to create a learning environment that’s safe for our students,” said Superintendent Jeffrey Moss. “We value our volunteers and want to make sure they are the right fit for our schools.”\r\n\r\nThe district estimates that 1,500-2,000 volunteers will apply for the upcoming school year, and both new and current volunteers will be screened under the new process. Each approved volunteer will have a badge, which will be required along with a photo ID when entering a school. The badge expires after one year.\r\n\r\nFor screening purposes, a volunteer is described as having direct contact with students under limited supervision or spending short periods of time with students outside of staff view. In order to become a volunteer, applicants must complete an online form, obtain approval from BIB and the district, and participate in orientation and training.\r\n\r\n“This new process will enhance our screening efforts, it will make procedures consistent in all schools, and it will improve communication between the schools and the district office,” said Alice Walton, Chief Administrative and Human Resources Officer. “When we all work together — teachers, staff and volunteers — our students reap the benefits.”\r\n\r\nThe district is encouraging both current and prospective volunteers to fill out the application on the district website.', 'District introduces improved volunteer screening process', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'district-introduces-improved-volunteer-screening-process', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:43', '2018-07-12 15:00:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17480', 0, 'post', '', 0);
