Her desire to tell these imagined stories in visual form led her to Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in the early 1970s. Following completion of a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in painting, she remained involved in creative pursuits working as a designer and commercial artist until she began a career in law enforcement.\r\n\r\nPatricia’s challenging work in the prison system affected her deeply, especially as she interacted with people who had lived vastly different lives than her own. The years she spent as a gang investigator encouraged her to return to painting. “I became increasingly interested in the human impulse to communicate using visual imagery and symbols by studying gang graffiti in the urban environment,” admits Patricia. She was drawn more and more intensely to produce her own artwork, and was able to retire in 2007 to become a full-time artist.\r\n\r\n“Capturing moments of time and place by using the interactions of people with their environments remains the central area of my exploration” maintains Patricia, “however I have become increasingly consumed by the\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18599\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/BAA-Walsh-Moment-in-the-Sun.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18599\" alt=\"Moment in the Sun\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/BAA-Walsh-Moment-in-the-Sun-300x230.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" /></a> Moment in the Sun[/caption]\r\n\r\npainting process itself.” The narrative quality of her work becomes entangled with more abstract themes of pattern, mark-making and the manipulation of oil paints.\r\n\r\nIn 2012, Patricia moved from New England to South Carolina and currently resides on St. Helena Island.

(18603, 4, '2014-09-11 13:01:08', '2014-09-11 17:01:08', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nNone of us, realistically, believe our dogs are going to outlive us. We’d like them to age gracefully alongside us and diminish shortly before or shortly after we do. But sometimes it doesn’t work that way, unfortunately. Tragedy will arrive in all our lives, some time or other, that’s for certain.  The best we can do is try to prepare and remember our Best Friend when we do.\r\n\r\nThe Humane Society of the US estimates there are 112 million pet dogs and cats, as well as millions of birds in this country. Some of these pets will outlive their owners and perhaps these pet owners have made informal plans with friends, neighbors or family members. But sometimes those who informally agree to take on the dog, just in case, are unable or unwilling to follow through when the time comes.\r\n\r\nIn order to avoid such circumstances, pet owners need to leave instructions for the care of pets and a short list of guardians of various ages who have been contacted in advance. If possible, people should also leave some funds to cover expenses, especially if the pet in question has health concerns. This might seem reminiscent of aging eccentric heiresses who leave millions to their cats to supply filet mignon in perpetuity.  Not quite. But it pays to be prepared.\r\n\r\nYou might designate a trusted friend, family member, neighbor, or kennel owner who knows your dog, has proper facilities (meaning space to keep an animal, a fenced yard, or an actual kennel) and who is willing to keep your dogs together (if you have more than one), should an emergency arise. I am listed as default caregiver in five wills in two states: it is a tremendous honor to be asked to care for a beloved pet.\r\n\r\nThis person should have a list of emergency phone numbers, including those of your vet and of nearby family and friends who have access to your home and are well acquainted with your dogs. Carry a wallet “alert card” that lists the names and phone numbers of your emergency pet caregivers. Tuck one in the glove box, too.\r\n\r\nIn your personal business records, include signed and dated instructions designating your wishes for the placement of your dogs in case of your incapacitation, or worse. List the name of each dog and the name, address and phone number of the person who has agreed in writing to adopt or foster that dog for the remainder of its life. Check in with your designated caregiver every year to see if the offer is still good. Update this document at least once and year, and provide a copy to your designated caregiver.\r\n\r\nProvide the caregiver with written authorization to obtain medical treatment for your dogs, should it become necessary.  On occasion you’ll run into a vet who has esoteric HIPAA-like rules concerning the animals of other people. Also provide copies of medical history, a list of any health problems that require regular attention, and written feeding instructions (“Barney doesn’t like peas.”).  In addition, provide your veterinarian with written authorization to administer treatment in an emergency, and place copies of that document in your Pet File.  Include names and numbers of all persons you have authorized to seek treatment for your dogs.  Both the vet and caregiver should have written instructions as to how to proceed should the untimely happen to the dog — autopsy, cremation, burial.  With the copy and paste feature of most word processing programs, it takes only a few minutes to draft a simple, cover-all document.\r\n\r\nSome pet owners make provisions for honorary trusts for their animals that dictate a portion of the principal or income be dedicated to the benefit of the animal. The trust ends when there are no living animals receiving care. The amount of money left for a pet’s care should be reasonable rather than large, so other beneficiaries will not challenge the provision.\r\n\r\nIn an emotionally charged situation (your incapacitation or demise) a relative’s’ solution may be to dump the dog at a shelter. Know that most no-kill shelters have waiting lists. It can take up to three months for a place to open through adoption.  If you happen to have one of the “dangerous” breeds — pit bulls, German shepherds, rottweilers — planning for his future takes special consideration.  Let me stress the importance of planning if you have a dog with a “special need.”\r\n\r\nPlan ahead and put your plan in writing. Semper Paratus — always prepared.\r\n<div></div>', 'Are you prepared?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'are-you-prepared', '', '', '2014-09-11 13:01:08', '2014-09-11 17:01:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18603', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18608, 4, '2014-09-11 13:04:12', '2014-09-11 17:04:12', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThis week we are going to travel a long way to learn about vineyards that are known for their Cabernets. No, we are not going to Napa Valley — believe it or not, there are other sources in the world for great Cabernet wines. Instead, we are visiting South America and the vineyards of Chile.\r\n\r\nWine production in Chile dates back to the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors brought “vitis vinifera” vines into the country. In the mid-19th century, grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, were introduced.\r\n\r\nSkipping forward to the 1980’s, though, we get to more modern winemaking. Stainless steel fermentation tanks came to Chile and oak barrels for aging their wines also. Between 1995 and 2005, the number of wineries in Chile went from 12 to over 70. Currently, Chile is the ninth largest wine-producing country in the world, and the fifth largest exporter.\r\n\r\nIn December 1994, their wine regions became official. Today, we are going to learn about one of these: The Colchagua Valley. Colchagua is like a Grand Cru appellation for Cabernets. (Other Chilean wine laws were established at the same time as their regions. There are no restrictions on grapes. Any variety can be grown anywhere. A wine has to be at least 75 percent the named variety, though, if it’s going to be drunk in Chile. Exported wines have to be at least 85 percent. If a particular wine region is named on the label, 85 percent of the grapes have to come from that region. The term “reserve” does not have any legal meaning, but it can be important to the wines of one winery.)\r\n\r\nLike European appellation systems, in Chile, wine areas are defined in larger to smaller areas, with the smaller ones producing specific style wines, all supposedly better. Colchagua is a zone located within the Rapel Valley sub-region, which is located within the main Central Valley region. The Colchagua Valley is about 92 miles south of Santiago and follows the Tinquiririca River along the foothills of the Andes Mountains westward to the Pacific Ocean. The river provides a steady source of irrigation water in an otherwise dry area. The Colchagua Valley is about 70 miles wide, at its widest point, and about 2,200 square miles overall. The climate is a warm Mediterranean one. The soils are clay and sand and decomposed granite. Quality grapes are grown on the hillsides, where warm days are tempered by cool night breezes. We have seen many times before how these up and down temperatures make for more and better flavors in the grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah are the main varieties grown here — reds!  Many experts think this valley is comparable to Napa Valley. And we all know about Napa Cabs, don’t we?\r\n\r\nCabernet Sauvignon is a fairly new grape, at least compared to how old some other “vinifera” varieties are. It was “made” by a chance crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, in southwestern France, in the 17th century. Cabernet grapes can grow more easily in more soil types; they have thicker skins than most other varieties, so they bud and ripen later, about two or three weeks behind Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Growing climates are important. As an example, in cooler climates, its vines will put more energy into making foliage. And, vineyard management in cooler regions makes pruning important.\r\n\r\nWhen making Cabernet wines, all sorts of options are available. Blending is the first. This is one grape that plays well with others. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and some Malbec, Petit Verdot or Carmenere come together to make what is a typical Bordeaux blend. Beyond that, Syrah/Shiraz, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and other grapes also go well with Cabernet. Blending before, during or after fermentation are choices for winemakers. Maceration time (juice sitting with its skins) makes a difference. Longer sitting time makes wines with more tannins and flavors, but the wines must age longer to develop properly. Temperature of the fermentation, too, makes a difference.  Warmer fermentations, like 86 degrees Fahrenheit, make more complex flavors and deeper colored wines. Cooler fermentation enhances fruit flavors. And, then there’s the oak. Cabernet has a great affinity for oak. The vanilla and spice flavors of the wood work well with the black currant and tobacco flavors of the wines.\r\n\r\nBut, we need to see about Cabernet in Colchgua. The late-ripening Cab does well in the warm vineyards and dry climate in this valley. The grapes ripen more fully, and they make wines with rich fruit flavors. A perceived sweetness is noticeable in Colchagua wines because the grapes get so ripe. The acidity levels of the wines are lower and the tannins are softer, making the wines more approachable sooner.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets us to our winery — Primus, a branch of the Chilean Veramonte Winery. The Primus vineyards are located in Marchigue, a Colchagua sub-region. They are 28 miles due east of the Pacific Ocean with a warm climate that is moderated by two mountain ranges that run north to south. The clay and loam soil is well drained and has rocky materials that make for great Cabernet growing conditions. Primus has 190 acres of vineyards. Using the latest viticultural technology from California, their rootstocks are matched to each site and grape clone.\r\n\r\nIn winemaking, Primus is very detail oriented, like all great wines. Yields  are kept low, two to three tons per acre. This ensures concentration and intensity in the grapes’ flavors and textures. All their grapes are hand harvested and double sorted before crushing.  Only the most pristine grapes end up being used for their wines. The wines are aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, about one quarter of them new each year.\r\n\r\nThe Primus Cabernet is 95 percent Cab, with 5 percent Syrah. This wine is elegant. It has plum and cassis (black currant) flavors, with rich red berries, some chocolate, some baking spices, some coffee; layers of flavors. With smooth, mild tannins, it is ready to drink. (Primus also makes a blend, called The Blend, that is Cabernet with Carmenere, Syrah and Merlot.)\r\n\r\nAnd, lucky us, we can have the Primus Cabernet Sauvignon in two sizes. The 750 milliliter bottle, for $18.99 and the liter and a half bottle, for $34.99. With all the dinners and parties ahead, it’s time to call a cab. Oops, I mean a Cabernet.

An accident, an alligator crossing the road? No, it was a large yellow metal monster with a folding stop sign and flashing lights.  ”No,” my brain screamed, “Not a school bus!  It can’t be. Summer just started.” But there it was emptying out little school children from its large cavity. Children with backpacks and lunchboxes. Where did summer go?\r\n\r\nWhat happened to all the RVs driving down Sea Island Parkway, dragging little smart cars on their way to beach destinations? Where are the trucks with their fifth wheelers coasting down the highway with names like “Our Lady Liberty” or “Dad’s Dog House” or “The Beast”? And what happened to all those minivans with so many bicycles attached to the back that you couldn’t see their license plates? I miss seeing the long line of cars with suitcases and beach chairs stuffed in the car. What happened to all the out-of-state license tags heading to the beach?\r\n\r\nHow does this happen? Every year the summer just flies by and I am once again surprised that it is over. The reason is because I love summer so much. I love the big floppy summer hats, the beach chairs and the beach umbrellas. I love the smell of sun tan lotion and that aloe cream you put on after a sunburn. I love hearing children laugh at the beach when the waves smack into them. I love holding a child’s hand as we look for shells on a deserted beach.\r\n\r\nFor many of us, part of summertime magic is the memories from years past. Time spent with parents without being told to do homework or go to bed early. Time spent catching fireflies in peanut butter jars with holes punched in the lid. Time when you were allowed to get dirty playing in mud puddles after a summer rain.\r\n\r\nAs we enter the new school year, the hustle and bustle begins. But the magic of summer is still with me. Memories of time spent with my parents and children, and now my grandchildren.\r\n\r\nYes, the yellow monster is back on the road but, take heart, only nine more months until summer.', 'Summer, don’t leave!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'summer-dont-leave', '', '', '2014-09-11 13:12:01', '2014-09-11 17:12:01', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18616', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(18618, 4, '2014-09-11 13:13:39', '2014-09-11 17:13:39', '<b>By Susan Stone</b>\r\n\r\nThis month I am writing to you from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. I am enjoying a much-needed rest at the end of the mountain summer. Although it’s warm now, the leaves and acorns are already beginning to show signs of autumn. The vegetable garden outside the kitchen window has been harvested, composted and covered with fresh straw in preparation for winter.\r\n\r\nWe are so fortunate in the Lowcountry to be gardening year round! As we select our seeds and prepare for winter crops, I would like to recommend an old book I just took out of the archives recently. It’s called “Behaving As If The God In All Life Mattered,” by Machaelle Small Wright. It is the journey of a novice gardener and her humorous adventures in trial and error. Although you may not consider yourself a novice, there is always more to learn about how we can more effectively work with nature. I have personally adopted many of her suggestions to great effect. Her stories about garden invaders are most entertaining and her solutions really work!\r\n\r\nSometimes we view our gardens as another place of work. The garden depends on us to stay on top of invasive weeds and during times of drought, absolutely depends on us for water. But what we receive back from our gardens, above and beyond the harvest, can keep up us out of the doctor’s office and off the psychiatrist’s couch — literally!\r\n\r\nWith all the hustle and bustle of our very busy lives, the garden affords us a break from “reality.” It allows us to connect with the Earth and be fed energetically by her. Through the soles of our feet (I like to garden barefoot), we can recharge and ground the energy that makes us reach for an aspirin or a sleeping pill. It soothes the spirit and keeps us from strangling those who get on our last nerve.\r\n\r\nThis season, try a little experiment. Set aside a portion of the garden to “ignore.” Water and fertilize as you normally would. Treat this portion of the garden just as you always have. But in the other section of garden, try something new. Say a prayer over your seeds, thanking them for the nutritious food they will become. Or to the winter flowers, ask that they be blessed with abundant beauty. And each day after, when you do your garden chores, sing a song or talk to the plants participating in your experiment and thank them every time you visit the garden. And too, remember to ignore all the plants in the other section. The results will astound you. When you love your garden, it responds.\r\n\r\nYou may feel silly at first, but if you are anywhere close to my age (55) you won’t care who is watching. One of the great benefits of being over 50 is the freedom to be your authentic self. At some point we become unconcerned with the opinions of others and just do what feels right.\r\n\r\nIf you decide to try this experiment, I would love to hear about your results. I promise to keep you anonymous, so the neighbors won’t talk.\r\n\r\n<i>You may send Susan your questions and garden wisdom to theriverangel.ss@gmail.com.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Recipe of the month:</strong>\r\n\r\n<b>The no-see-um’s love fall as much as the rest of us.

In these calls, the subject reportedly attempts to solicit money from the victims, threatening legal action if the victims refuse to comply.\r\n\r\nVictims have reported similar encounters: the caller informs them that they owe a fine for failure to appear for jury duty. The victim is told they must pay a fine, or risk being arrested. The fine amounts vary, as do the names of the deputy the caller claims to be. The victim is usually instructed to purchase a Green Dot card from Wal-Mart, loaded with the amount of the “fine.” The victim is then asked to either take a picture of the card and text or email it, or to call back and provide the number of the Green Dot card.\r\n\r\nThis type of scam has been reported in recent months in jurisdictions throughout the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigations released warnings about this type of scam dating back as early as 2005. While the details may differ as the scam runs from area to area, the end result is the same: a victim is deceived into giving valuable and potentially harmful information to an unknown source.\r\n\r\nThe callers perpetrating these types of scams can be very persistent and intimidating. They may use legal/law enforcement jargon in combination with easily obtainable personal information about a victim to coerce them into believing they are speaking with an actual law enforcement officer. It is believed that these types of calls originate outside the local jurisdictions in which they occur, and quite possibly outside the country.\r\n\r\nWhile it is common for deputies to make contact with citizens by phone for a number of reasons, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office WILL NOT solicit any financial information via phone. Satisfaction of any fines, debts, warrants, or other civil process will never require a citizen to release personal financial data by phone, e-mail or any other unsecured method of communication.\r\n\r\nAnyone receiving a call of this nature is encouraged refrain from completing any transaction and to contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately.', 'Citizens advised to beware phone scam', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'citizens-advised-to-beware-phone-scam', '', '', '2014-09-11 13:15:41', '2014-09-11 17:15:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18622', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Suck it up. Don’t let them see you cry.” Or perhaps, “You don’t want to go there, it’s yucky. You wouldn’t like me if I’m angry, so I’m gonna bottle it up until I blow like a grenade.” Who knows what collateral damage I’ll create, but wouldn’t it be noble if I took one for the team?\r\n\r\nIf this doesn’t sound familiar, or you don’t see which way the wind is blowing, my point is that from an early age we’re taught to avoid pain. When we become adults we tuck the yuck away behind humor, flashy spending — whether we have the money or not — over-exercising, over-eating, over-anything, under-anything, being a D-bag, being a doormat... While avoiding pain is good for a child with a hot stove, we as adults can do better.\r\n\r\nWomen, in general, have an advantage over men in being mature enough to get upset over what’s bothering them, but men haven’t cornered the market in denial. I say to both sexes: Resistance is NOT futile, it’s the direction we need to run toward.\r\n\r\nMaybe you don’t want to or can’t run toward whatever’s causing you pain spiritually, emotionally or physically, but to heal, you must. As we’ve already established, it’s human nature to avoid what’s icky and not so pretty. But if you’ll trust that this pain, whatever it may be, is your body’s way of telling you the direction you need to go, you’ll live a more stress-free existence. Your body is the only thing that never lies to you and if you’ll trust that, you’ll eventually move from just surviving to thriving.\r\n\r\nSure, it’s easier to turn to Western medicine for a cure. (BTW, cure implies that things never change, and change is the only constant we have on this Earth. I insist on using the word “heal” as opposed to “cure.”) While I always encourage my clients to consult with a doctor for what ails them, there’s more to the human condition than spitting out symptoms to a doctor as he zips off a script to Walgreen’s, gives you a slap on the back for good luck, and swooshes out the door  to his 20 other patients before you know what’s hit you.\r\n\r\nDoes the above run-on sentence ring that bell? Empower yourself by seeking out the holistic healthcare in Beaufort’s growing community. We as humans must engage our God-given intellect to meditate on and examine daily what feels yucky or simply what can be improved.\r\n\r\nRecall that our bodies never lie to us, but our egos do it all the time. You can’t cover up a knee issue that’s not letting you move forward, a throat problem that’s not letting you speak your truth, or a lower back ache from having you very foundation rocked.\r\n\r\nIt is only when we become aware of the resistance that we can even do anything about it.\r\n\r\nA Reiki Master, Shaman, Theta Healer, B.E.S.T. Coach, among other CAM (complimentary alternative medicine) practitioners, is equipped to raise awareness and then send you down the road to self-empowerment and healing. So, resistance is not futile, it’s a gift.\r\n\r\n<i>When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5 year old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting others’ healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing, as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes.

In this class, you’ll recount and record those tales you’ve been telling your family, children and grandkids for years. Whether you write about a specific experience or cover a number of years’ worth, you’ll learn the skills necessary to organize and craft a written legacy. Using a method of writing practice developed by workshop guru Natalie Goldberg in her classic, “Writing Down the Bones,” we’ll do timed writings in class and polish them at home. By its nature, memoir is an intimate genre, and memoir students tend to “bond” in class. Instructor Katherine Tandy Brown has been a freelance writer for years and is a certified writing coach. The class will be at TCL, Mondays  6 to 8 p.m., September 15 until October 20, $120.

Simple reflections on wet sand, backlit sunlight highlighting a person crossing the street, children playing at the beach, all fill Patricia with delight. Her desire to tell these imagined stories in visual form led her to Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in the early 1970s. Following completion of a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in painting, she remained involved in creative pursuits working as a designer and commercial artist until she began a career in law enforcement. In 2012, Patricia moved from New England to South Carolina and currently resides on St. Helena Island. The exhibit of Patricia Walsh’s art begins Monday, Sept. 15 and continues through October 25.

They work together to bring the art of handbell ringing into the public eye as a respected musical medium through concerts and education.\r\n\r\nPalmetto Bronze rehearses weekly at Summerville Baptist Church.

The renowned show, featuring a beloved cast of characters, takes the audience on a ride as the 1950’s come alive with a story of teenage angst, “souped” up cars, and first loves. This celebration of rock and roll is full of hits from the popular movie adaptation, like “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted,” “Sandy,” “We Go Together,” and many more.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18691\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC02577.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18691\" alt=\"Karl Wells and Elaine Lake star in the musical “Grease,” which debuted last weekend at the USCB Center for the Arts.

Chad Lawrence announced to parishioners at the Parish Church of St. Helena’s that an anonymous benefactor had promised to match $750,000 in a six-month, all-or-nothing challenge for Holy Trinity Classical Christian School, he once again stood before the parishioners on Sept. 7 to announce that the goal had not only been met, but exceeded. Lawrence announced that a total of $ 1,673,000 would be deposited to establish the “Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Scholarship Fund” at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School for families who could not otherwise meet the financial requirements of the school.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18699\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Holy-Trinity-students-celebrating-donation.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18699\" alt=\"Holy Trinity students celebrate the donation with Rev.

Chad Lawrence.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn making the announcement last Sunday, Rev. Chad Lawrence, who also serves as the school’s headmaster, said, “It is truly amazing how the community has come together for the future of our children, our nation, and our faith. Checkbooks have been opened and piggy banks emptied to provide families in our community who otherwise might not be financially able the opportunity for their children to receive a life-changing classical Christian education.”\r\n\r\nLawrence also announced that the anonymous benefactor was the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund that issued the “Raise Up A Child” challenge.\r\n\r\nFarrell and Elizabeth Runyan, the fund’s namesake, were missionaries who went to Africa in 1946 to dedicate their lives to the fulfillment of The Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19 (ESV).\r\n\r\nOver the next 40 years, they lived this command going to Nigeria, Senegal, the Ivory Coast and Swaziland to spread the Gospel.\r\n\r\nIn 1993, to honor their service by providing financial assistance for projects that also furthered the Great Commission, the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund was created. It has purchased, translated and distributed Bibles to eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, hymnals for churches in Swaziland, translated the “Jesus” film for Southern African languages, funded a chemistry lab for a Baptist High School in Nyeri, Kenya, provided church planting tents in Kenya, built a maternity clinic in Malawi, aided persecuted believers in Iran, and supported Young Life of Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“Saying thank you to the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund is hardly enough,” Lawrence said. “As the Runyans’ mission experiences often proved, ‘What God orders, He pays for.’ Again, He has done so with us, and more.”\r\n\r\nAlan Runyan, the son of Farrell and Elizabeth and trustee of the fund, said this is not really the end of the fund but a new beginning.\r\n\r\n“The Endowment Fund is taking its greatest and final step onto the most important mission field of the 21st century: training up young minds in the way they should go. For these young minds, trained in the way they should go, will be tomorrow’s missionaries to a lost world in whatever they do, wherever they go,” Runyan said. “It brings a wealth of emotions for me, it causes me to think about the lives of my mother and father and what they stood for, all the effort and the risks they took and it truly is a moment of both humility and challenge. Humility because of what has been done in such a short time and the challenge to the school to educate children with the kind of love for humanity that my mother and father would cherish.”\r\n\r\nAccording to Lawrence, the classical Christian education not only provides a quality education but also equips youth with a strong Biblical foundation so they become ambassadors for the Kingdom of God, fully prepared to defend and advance the apostolic Christian faith.\r\n\r\nHoly Trinity school provides a centuries-old, tried-and-true approach to education. “We endeavor to expose students to the good, the beautiful, and the true in all areas of human learning that we might cultivate well-rounded wise, virtuous, and eloquent leaders who are prepared to go wherever God calls them,” Lawrence stated. “A primary objective of classical, Christian education is to teach students how to learn,” Lawrence said. “Learning the truth is important, but learning how to seek the truth is even more critical.”\r\n\r\nSuch classical education was used to educate most of America’s founding fathers, as well as the world’s philosophers, scientists and leaders between the 10th and 19th centuries.\r\n\r\nWhile there has been a resurgence in classical Christian education, Lawrence said that Holy Trinity’s growth has been quite dramatic since it opened in 2012. “We grew from 100 students the first year (PreK through fifth), to 150 students the second year (when the school added sixth grade), to 190 students this year (when the school added a seventh grade) and we are at capacity,” he said.\r\n\r\nLawrence said that many of the schools they visited started with only seven or eight students but that the Beaufort community has responded in such an incredible way to this educational approach that the initial growth that Holy Trinity has realized is almost unheard of in the classical, Christian educational community.  He said that others who want to start a classical Christian school are now visiting the Holy Trinity campus for more insight.\r\n\r\n“However, the most encouraging part,” Lawrence said, “is how the students are responding.”\r\n\r\nHe said that the 2013-2014 ITBS testing scored Holy Trinity’s kindergarten in the 99 percentile nationwide, and across all grades, the school scored in the 95 percentile.\r\n\r\n“It has indeed been a tremendous two years,” Lawrence said, “and with the generosity of the Farrell and Elizabeth Runyan Endowment Fund, the parishioners at St. Helena’s, Beaufort and its surrounding community, we eagerly look forward to the opportunity to serve the community of Beaufort as we help ‘Raise Up A Child’ for years to come.”', 'Donation Celebration: One of the largest donations in Beaufort County given to Holy Trinity Classical Christian School', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'donation-celebration-one-of-the-largest-donations-in-beaufort-county-given-to-holy-trinity-classical-christian-school', '', '', '2014-09-11 14:28:23', '2014-09-11 18:28:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18698', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18726, 4, '2014-09-18 07:27:26', '2014-09-18 11:27:26', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nAs any dog owner can attest, dogs are not too discriminating about what they eat.  Select garbage, poo of the wild, domestic poo from the cat box, road-toad jerky — they’re all yummy going in. Not so delightful on the way out.  We can move with lightning speed to try to extract the offending item from clenched jaws OR we can prepare our pets in a more proactive way. A good probiotic for dogs is an easy way to ward off an onslaught of bad bacteria by boosting existing good bacteria. In fact, gastrointestinal disorders are the second most common health issues for dogs after skin conditions.\r\n\r\nAll dogs (and people, too) can benefit from probiotics.  They aid digestion and modulate the immune system by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These helpers inhibit the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, such as <i>E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium perfringens</i>, as well as providing other benefits to the intestines. Probiotics help prevent urinary tract infections, and can even reduce allergic reactions by decreasing intestinal permeability and controlling inflammation.\r\n\r\nGiven probiotics for pets is a new industry, it can be confusing when investigating the best for your Best Friend. When choosing a commercial dog probiotic, consider the following criteria:\r\n\r\n• The list of ingredients should identify the specific bacterial species and also indicate the strain. Species with specific strains known to benefit dogs include <b>Enterococcus faecium </b>(strain SF68) and <b>Bacillus coagulans. Bifidobacterium animalis</b> (strain AHC7) has been shown to reduce the time for acute diarrhea to resolve in dogs. Certain strains of <b>Lactobacillus acidophilus</b> improve frequency and quality of stools in sensitive dogs. Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) is my favorite go-to (no pun intended) for any digestive upset.  Probiotic products may contain one or several strains.\r\n\r\n• The label should guarantee the number of CFU in millions or billions per gram. Colony-forming units (CFU) is an estimate of viable bacterial or fungal numbers that the manufacturer guarantees will exist in their product.\r\n\r\n• The product packaging or manufacturer’s website should have a customer service number so you can contact the manufacturer with any questions.\r\n\r\n• The probiotic should have a “best before” or expiration date. Storage time and conditions (i.e., excessive heat or cold) can reduce the viability of some bacterial strains. It is best practice to store your probiotics in a refrigerator.\r\n\r\nAlternately, you can go the grocery store route. Following a round of antibiotics, savvy dog owners have long used tablespoonfuls of yogurt to readjust the bacteria in their dog’s intestines. (Antibiotics kill everything, the good <i>and</i> the bad.) Kefir, a souped up super cousin of yogurt, is easy to make if you’re so inclined or it’s available in the dairy cases of local groceries. Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich liquid food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance an “inner ecosystem”.\r\n\r\nKefir contains loads of minerals and essential amino acids.  Among them, <i>tryptophan</i>, an essential amino acid, is well-known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. It may help a high drive or highly anxious dog chill.\r\n\r\nKefir also contains calcium and magnesium both of which are critical for a healthy nervous system. It is rich in vitamins B12, B1 and vitamin K, promoting healthy looking skin, boosting energy and promoting longevity.  For daily maintenance, kefir is excellent at rebalancing intestinal bacteria, boosting immunity and correcting the occasional trash-hound loose stool. If you have multiple dogs, renewable kefir is the most affordable solution.  And, it comes in flavors. I find blueberry is the most favored among my dog friends.\r\n<div></div>', 'Be proactive with probiotics', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'be-proactive-with-probiotics', '', '', '2014-09-18 07:27:26', '2014-09-18 11:27:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18726', 0, 'post', '', 0),

E. Young and Augusta Andrews Young, was an early starter. She began first grade at the age of 4, high school at the age of 11, and college at the age of 15. When she married her husband, David (Davey), at 19 she already had her education. Davey was 26 when he and Lil married, and he was serving as a pilot in the Marine Corps. After a blissful marriage of 7 months, Davey was assigned to a 4-month cruise as a photo reconnaissance pilot on the USS Valley Forge. He was the first pilot shot down and captured in the Korean War. He spent over three years as a prisoner of war, during which time Lil worked as a fashion model and flight attendant while awaiting his return.\r\n\r\nRemarkably, after many hospitalizations and surgeries, Davey was one of the few ex­POWs to return to active duty. Davey’s final tour was at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. He took his squadron overseas for 14 months while Lil and their sons remained in Beaufort. After returning from that tour, Davey retired as a full Colonel, and the family settled in Beaufort where Davey became active in many volunteer organizations. Lil and Davey were charter members of Sea Island Presbyterian Church where a cross was placed in his memory. Davey passed away in 1993, and Rev. Steve Keeler conducted Davey’s funeral service at the National Cemetery in Beaufort where Davey and Lil’s youngest son, Paul Curtis, is buried.

(18733, 4, '2014-09-18 07:34:33', '2014-09-18 11:34:33', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nIt seems that the word “hybrid” can be used in reference to wines, and also applies in many other contexts. (The name “hybrid” is from the Latin “hibrida,” meaning offspring of a mixed union.) In genetics, a hybrid is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents, such as when a female horse and a male donkey make a mule. In linguistics, a hybrid is a word that is part from one language and part from another language. Like “monolingual” has a Greek prefix and a Latin root. In cars, usually, a hybrid is part electric, part fuel powered. Even in music the term is used. There, a hybrid is a song sung by one person that was written by another. In many cases, in all these areas, the hybrid is stronger, bigger, better than the parents.\r\n\r\nIn wine, the most well-known hybrid is Cabernet Sauvignon — a cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Most of us never even think of Cabernet as a hybrid. It is one of the great grape varieties of all wine grapes. And, obviously bigger, stronger and better than its parents. Beyond Cabernet Sauvignon, other hybrids, that we don’t see or drink very often at all, include ones like Seyval, Chambourcin, Catawba and many others. And, as it applies to us today, in wines, the name “hybrid” can also be used as a category of non-traditional blended wines. That means three traditional Bordeaux red grape varieties blended with some red Zinfandel can make a blend or “meritage” as we usually call them. But, this wine can also be called a hybrid. (Please note, “Meritage” with a capitalized “M” makes it an official member of the Meritage Association, and, by their rules, a blend of Bordeaux varieties only.)\r\n\r\nSo, yes, we are looking at new blended wine today. Actually, we have two blended wines this week, a red and a white from Callaway Vineyard &amp; Winery. Callaway is located in Temecula, California. More than 200 years ago, when winemaking in California began, it was at the Mission San Juan Capistrano — just 18 miles east of Temecula. The first modern, commercial vineyard in Temecula Valley was established in 1968. The valley is located 500 miles south of San Francisco and has a slightly higher angle to the sun. It’s warmer with more intense sunlight. Morning mists often linger until mid-morning. There is low rainfall in the valley, cooling breezes from off the Pacific Ocean which make for moderate daytime temperatures. The soils for the vineyards consist of decomposing granite with sandy loam, excellent for good grapes with clean, pure varietal flavors. Since the 1960’s, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc have been grown here. Recently, Mediterranean varieties like Viognier, Syrah and Pinot Grigio have been planted. Rhône varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel also do well in Temecula. Temecula Valley was declared an AVA in 1984. It is part of the larger South Coast AVA.\r\n\r\nCallaway Vineyard &amp; Winery started growing grapes in 1969, and opened its winery in 1974. Ely Callaway, Jr. was the founder. Ely had graduated from Emory University, but found World War II changed the course of his life. He joined the U.S. Army Reserves and was posted to Philadelphia when they learned he had a background in textiles. He was charged with procuring clothing and fabric. After the war, he worked for clothing manufacturers for 27 years.\r\n\r\nIn the late 1960’s, Ely did some extensive research and went to Temecula. There, he found a plateau, below the foggy peaks of surrounding mountains, which he thought was perfect for planting grapes. He planted in 1969, and, in the early 1970’s, said goodbye to the textile industry. He defied the experts, who all thought that southern California was not suited to growing good wine grapes. In 1981, Ely sold his winery to Hiram Walker and moved onto the next phase of his life — golf. The success of “Big Bertha,” the club he designed, made Callaway Golf the number one golf company in the world. (I should mention that Ely’s mother’s cousin was Bobby Jones. Which means golf did not come to Ely out of the clear blue sky.) Ely Callaway died in 2001, at age 82.\r\n\r\nIn 2012, the Callaway Vineyard &amp; Winery went through a huge renovation. Their tasting room is large, surrounded with glass windows that look out over rolling hills and vines. They offer daily tours and tastings, including automated self-serving tasting stations. Their Meritage Restaurant is one of the very best in the area, featuring a California-Mediterranean style cuisine and featuring local produce and butchers. And, of course, Callaway wines, most of which are only available on the property.\r\n\r\nLucky us, though, we can try two of their wines — Callaway Hybrid Red and Callaway Hybrid White. The red is a blend of 50 percent Merlot, 35 percent Zinfandel and 15 percent Syrah, it says so right on the front label, in nice large letters and numbers. And, as we know, these three grapes blended together are not a traditional blend. Hence, a hybrid. This wine is medium bodied with an appealing smooth, juicy texture. Its flavors include blueberries, chocolate, blackberries, white pepper and plums. Soft tannins keep it easy drinking, sip after sip, glass after glass. Maybe it is better than its pieces and parts? Like a hybrid should be.\r\n\r\nThe white is a blend of 40 percent Verdejo, 35 percent Viognier and 25 percent Gewurztraminer. Truly, what seems to be an off-the-wall blend. But, the layered flavors and textures of this wine make it perfect for many types of foods. Its medium body is loaded with apple and pear fruit flavors, hints of peaches and kumquats, a touch of citrus, floral notes, minerality, and good acidity.  Again, a hybrid, true to its namesake.\r\n\r\nTogether, these two wines will be perfect for many meals, but especially those meals where you’re not sure if a red or a white will be best. (Think Thanksgiving!) They may be hybrids, but it’s up to us to use them and drink them and share them. Each for $10.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

Yet, I have to defend those poor tourists because, as a new person in the area, I am somewhat of a tourist still becoming familiar with my surroundings. It can be tricky navigating and driving around an area that has so many bridges, islands and changing street names.\r\n\r\nI have a map and my GPS. I depend on my talking “cheater” a lot. “Turn right here!” she demands of me — only to be followed by the words, “When possible, make a U-turn” because I missed the right turn. And when I ask a local about a place I need to go, they always respond with phrases like, “Take a left where the new Publix is being built.” Huh? I didn’t know there was an old Publix.\r\n\r\nThere are the street names to remember. People who have lived here a long time forget that Sea Island Parkway becomes Carteret Street and then Boundary Street and then Trask Parkway. They know it as Route 21 (which is technically U.S. Highway 21). Of course, there is the southern Route 21 and the Business 21. I have found myself on Parris Island because I have followed the wrong 21.\r\n\r\nOf course, there are the bridges. One must know the timing of the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge that connects downtown Beaufort to Lady’s Island because it is a swing bridge. You may want to stay away if you are close to the hour or half hour (unless it is pouring rain) in which case you are probably OK. If you decide to avoid downtown, you can take the J.E. McTeer Bridge which takes you to Ribaut (pronounced Re-bow, I have been told, I’m still learning) Road. But some locals don’t know the names of the bridges either. They just give you a landmark. “The one on your way to the Bi-Lo.” Which Bi-Lo, you ask?\r\n\r\nThere are also numerous islands and bridges for tourists and newcomers to navigate. I spoke to a man at church the other day who lives across the creek from me. He said, “It would take me about 10 minutes to get to your place by boat and about 40 minutes by car.” He wasn’t kidding. When I started to look at the islands and the bridges, the car route was definitely the long way to go.\r\n\r\nThen there is also the weekend rental turnover traffic. Since we live in a destination community with beautiful beaches, cute historical towns and recreational sports, the influx of tourists is incredible. I have now learned to time my trips either early or later in the day to avoid the backups along Sea Island Parkway.\r\n\r\nSo be careful of the tourists and the new locals. And I promise to learn to drive the area without my GPS shouting  “recalculating.”', 'For someone new to town, navigating can be tricky', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'for-someone-new-to-town-navigating-can-be-tricky', '', '', '2014-09-18 07:35:38', '2014-09-18 11:35:38', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18735', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Solace can be found in accidental acquaintance and comfort in casual conference. Small towns master the nonessential relationships if only by sheer logistics. It is impossible not to become familiar with those traveling the same path, the same route and often the same\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18738\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"247\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Cherimie-mug-bw.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18738\" alt=\"Cherimie Crane Weatherford\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Cherimie-mug-bw-247x300.jpg\" width=\"247\" height=\"300\" /></a> Cherimie Crane Weatherford[/caption]\r\n\r\ngrocery schedule. It can be a simple nod, a passing smile, an empathetic glance from a not-so-strange stranger that gives way to a sense of familiarity, peace and comfort. Words become unnecessary as the foundation of the accidental acquaintance is freedom from obligation. Just as a weathered landmark signals lessened distance homeward bound, nonessential relationships become signals of their own.\r\n\r\nHaving the morning awareness of a blind rabbit, it is stunning that I notice a young lady walking almost daily. Often rushing from one task to another, I barely notice date or time. This young lady always caught my eye for no discernible reason. Daily our paths intertwine providing a certain flow to my all-too-rushed schedule. Occasionally, my mind wanders from to-do list lethargy to imagining her point of focus. Eyes straight ahead and purposeful gait, rhythmic pace, obviously she meant business.\r\n\r\nBy chance and convenience, last week I headed to my little boutique to make certain the world of women’s clothing was turning as it should when the morning sky opened and saturated all God’s creatures great and small. One of those downpours where one can’t help but feel as though Mother Nature is making a point. Fortunately, I found entry prior to falling prey to an impressive soak and unimpressive hair do. Turning on lights and doing all those things rote, I heard a knock.\r\n\r\nStanding amidst Mother Nature’s hissy fit was the young lady I often see walking the busy street. Her focus familiar, her stature recognizable and her clothing soaked to the core. Unlocking my door and barely having a chance to speak, she quickly announced her intentions to purchase a new pair of shoes and pants. The clothing she had on was so drenched that it left a puddle at my door.\r\n\r\nAll things Southern kicked in and I quickly offered her towels. She explained that she was heading to school when the bottom fell out and just needed to get something dry to wear as she had classes the entire day. It hit me. All those days that I was complaining about this or that, rushing through my nonessential tasks from the comfort of my air-conditioned car, she was walking to school. The hottest of hot days, the rainy days, the days that my biggest complaint was a seemingly long traffic light. She was walking to school, not just one block, not even five. She walks down busy Boundary Street to attend University of South Carolina Beaufort. It is no short distance.\r\n\r\nOften described as hard-nosed, frequently referred to as difficult and never being accused of being a socialite, my bark can sometimes be worse than my bite. (Unless you take my coffee, then my bite is horrendous.) There is something about a determined woman that awakens all that is good. She made her way to the counter to pay for a new pair of shoes and a dry pair of jeans. No Ma’am, I said. Not today. She tried once more to pay, saying she didn’t mean to get anything for free. I saw an entire generation in her and wondered if her Mom would ever find out about this. How proud must she be of such a determined, prideful young lady.\r\n\r\nDay in and day out, I hear (and even speak) excuse after excuse about not marching forth toward a goal. Complaints that should never be are as customary as true grit is rare. This young lady walks to school everyday, never stopping to ask for a ride, never swaying her gaze. Head up, eyes forward. How small I felt in her presence.\r\n\r\nI gave her a brand new pair of boots and a wonderful pair of jeans. After a short conversation, she thanked me and headed for the door. Somehow I looked at her and saw everything I wanted to be, much that I already am, and what I want for my daughter. It matters less where she had been but more where she was going. Her determination and refusal to let even Mother Nature slow her direction is rare and inspirational. My request to her was simple. I asked her to go out and change the world, knowing full well, she already has. She walks to school, further than most walk in a week, and she does so with a smile.\r\n\r\nMaybe those nonessential relationships aren’t so nonessential after all.', 'A dry pair of boots', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-dry-pair-of-boots', '', '', '2014-09-18 07:38:10', '2014-09-18 11:38:10', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18737', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Bodacious “grub” prepared by over a dozen local restaurants and eateries provide just the perfect sustenance required to cut a rug all evening long. And at this South by Southwest-themed celebration, no one will go thirsty — there’ll be plenty of wine, beer, soda and the aforementioned Cactus Juice available at the two bars.\r\n\r\nThis unforgettable evening of unlimited food, live entertainment, dancing and unique silent auction items benefits the YMCA of Beaufort’s capital campaign. “The funds raised during Boots &amp; Bling go directly toward capital improvements at our facility,” said YMCA CEO Mike Bostwick. “We will be resurfacing our main indoor pool.  Since this pool is so large and deep, the cost is around $80,000. We hope to make a sizable dent in that dollar figure at Boots &amp; Bling!”\r\n\r\nThis year, in addition to the silent auction, there will be a pre-event raffle for a 2010 EZ-GO electric golf cart. The golf cart has a new windshield, new tires, new batteries, seats 4, and features a 19-mile per hour chip and front headlight so it is road ready.\r\n\r\nRob Averill, Boots &amp; Bling event chairman, is thrilled to have such a substantial item donated this year. “We will be holding the raffle for the golf cart starting on Sept. 3. Each raffle ticket will be $25 or you can get 5 for $100. You can purchase these raffle tickets at the YMCA in Port Royal and at Boots &amp; Bling. We’ll draw for the golf cart winner during the event, however you do not need to be present to win.”\r\n\r\nThis year’s silent auction items include a smorgasbord of goodies including rounds of golf, golf clubs, gift certificates to various businesses and restaurants, one-of-a kind pieces of art, autographed books by several local authors, fine jewelry and more.\r\n\r\n“We are once again extremely grateful to our local business community, Y members, volunteers and friends for their generous donations to the auction. We also have many “Bling” level event sponsors and in-kind sponsors who are supporting this event. Without all their assistance and financial support, an event like this just would not be possible,” Averill added.\r\n\r\nWith so many programs for every age, ability and economic circumstance, The Wardle Family YMCA shines as a pacesetter in bringing our diverse community together on so many levels.  So grab your best pair of jeans, straighten that Stetson and mosey on over to The Shed on Saturday at 6 p.m. because you don’t want to miss a minute of one of the most enjoyable events in all of Beaufort.\r\n\r\nBoots &amp; Bling tickets are $50 for individuals and $90 for couples. Tickets can be purchased at the Y front desk at 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal or online at www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com.

(You’ve got to read the whole essay to really appreciate it.)\r\n\r\nMany investors buy stocks the way many consumers buy paper towels or any other staple. They are attracted to a sale and loss leaders are a proven method for a retailer to increase the traffic in their store. The value of the item is well known and a sale price gets the attention of potential buyers.\r\n\r\nMr. Allen explains brilliantly and succinctly why this analogy is bunk: “But stocks are not like paper towels. Paper towels can be used to satisfy a need and this is what gives the item its value to the consumer.  What gives a stock its value?  A stock cannot be used to satisfy a need or accomplish a task.  The value of a stock is derived from the financial performance of  the company, either actual or expected.  The fact that the stock is down in price is usually a sure sign that the financial performance of the company is declining.\r\n\r\n“...if the value of the stock was constant, then buying bargain stocks would be the correct way to invest in stocks. But stock values are constantly changing as business conditions change for the company and the expectations of investors change.”\r\n\r\nAll in all, it seems to me that relative strength often more closely reflects what the expectations of investors are — and the expectations are what counts.  Let’s face it: strong stocks are usually strong because business conditions or fundamentals are good, and weak stocks are usually weak for a reason.\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Dorsey, Wright and Associates, Inc., and provided by Wells Fargo Advisors and Hall Sumner, CFP®, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC, 211 Scott Street, (843) 524-1114.

The term “by right” simply means that since the property in question is zoned Lady’s Island Community Preservation, which allows construction of two homes per acre, the property owner “by right” of this zoning can divide his property into a maximum of 54 lots.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort County Development Review Team approved the subdivision in June 2010 with the requirement that it include commercial water and sewer. But the new home market crashed in 2010 and no development occurred at the property until recently. The site is now being cleared in preparation for development.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Buses, safety and Sams Point Road</b>\r\n\r\nSchool is back in session and approximately 4,000 students are traveling Lady’s Island roads each week day. Many of those students will travel by school buses.  Please remember that in South Carolina, if you are traveling behind a school bus with a flashing red or amber light the law requires you stop if the bus stops.  If you are traveling on a two lane road and meet a stopped school bus with its flashing red lights, you must come to full stop and remain stopped until the bus begins forward motion again.\r\n\r\nIf you are on a four-lane road, such as Sams Point Road, and you meet a stopped school bus, you do not have to stop.  Regardless of the fact that the law no longer requires stopping on four-lane roads, drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.\r\n\r\n<b>New state charter Lowcountry Montessori School opens</b>\r\n\r\nOnce again there is a Montessori school on Lady’s Island. E. C. Montessori operated in the Celadon complex for many years and closed its doors at the end of last school year. Lowcountry Montessori is a new free state chartered, nonprofit school offering an authentic Montessori based program for Kindergarten through 9th grade.\r\n\r\nAt the start of this school year, they had 250 students which for this year is their maximum capacity.  By 2017 they hope to have a new facility opened in the Town of Port Royal and be able to offer grades Kindergarten through 12. An interesting aspect of state chartered schools such as Lowcountry Montessori is that since they are chartered by the state, any child in the state of South Carolina may attend the school.\r\n\r\n<em>Jim Hicks is with the Lady\'s Island Business Professionals Association (LIBPA).</em>', 'Lady\'s Island Notes', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ladys-island-notes-8', '', '', '2014-09-18 08:04:43', '2014-09-18 12:04:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18777', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Yet so many people are yearning for other ways to help.\r\n\r\nWhat if we were asked to take personal responsibility for peace in our lives, in our nation and in the world? We are all being asked to change the vibrations of fear and separation in us to that of peace and oneness.  There are a growing number of people in Beaufort, in our country and everywhere on the planet who have responded to this challenge by adding their energy to the power of One and consciously practicing peace in a deeper way every day.  How can I do this, you may ask. How can doing this make a difference? Noted author and minister Robert Fulghum writes, “Peace is not something you wish for, it’s something you make. Something you do.  Something you are.  And something you give away.” The energy of peace is conscious and active; it is not passive and without movement.\r\n\r\nCreate one or more simple peace action practices that you can commit to and live every day. Because of the apparent overwhelming energy that we are addressing, it is helpful to not become overwhelmed ourselves by keeping our practice simple. Every act of peace regardless how small adds energy to what is known as the critical mass, the accumulation of experience that creates a new status quo or cultural norm.  Remember the days before cell phone usage became the norm!\r\n\r\nSome of the peace action practices that have been shared with me include finding places in the body and mind that feel a pressure to change someone and learning ways to let go of the tension, adopting “beginner’s mind” when the temptation to stereotype shows up, finding a place in nature that feels peaceful and sit there, breathing more deeply when awareness of fear of “the other” arises, writing and leaving “Love Notes” around the community, spending time with someone of a different background to get to understand where the similarities live, sending blessings to random people throughout the day, reading stories about the experiences of people who grew up differently or who are from “up there” or “over there”, listening, being grateful for all of life.\r\n\r\nEnjoy creating your own peace action practices and have fun sharing the energy.  Peace ... let it begin with me.\r\n\r\n<i>Ifetayo White has been a practitioner of the healing arts since 1989.

Reynolds was a student at Beaufort Academy during his short, but full-of-adventure life.\r\n\r\nThis scholarship is awarded by his family in celebration and remembrance of Reynolds. Recipients must possess many of the qualities that people loved about Reynolds: strong leadership, athletic ability, the respect and friendship of classmates, in addition to maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 during the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Awarded to a 10th grader, the scholarship offers $1,500 toward the student’s college education.\r\n\r\nThe award was presented by Reynolds’ brother, Clark, and his parents, Betsey and Bill Robinson.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18806\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/T-Reynolds-Recipient-2014.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18806\" alt=\"Sitting at center is 2014 recipient Todger Davis, his father Tad Davis at right, and step-mother Selma Lovett at left.

She lived for a long time in New England before moving to the Lowcountry more than six years ago. In that time, she has written more than 300 articles for the paper.\r\n\r\nTracie has a BFA in graphic design and an MFA in advertising theory. Her first career was as a graphic designer/art director in Ohio. She also had her own firm for 22 years that specialized in industrial and retail print advertising; she’s designed Happy Meal boxes and international retail signage.\r\n\r\nShe is also certified in canine massage and homeopathy and recently certified in animal nutrition.\r\n\r\n“The interesting juxtaposition in these two fields is that I used to BE the person writing the copy and putting the pictures on the dog food bags,” Tracie said. “I know first hand that what you’re buying is hardly ever what you think it is. What is on the bag has nothing to do with what’s in the bag.”\r\n\r\nBut she left advertising to literally “go to the dogs” designing, building and operating the first community play boarding kennel in Vermont. It was during this time that she really started to notice changes in the health of the dogs that came to the kennel. “I began to see that my dog friends were beginning to develop odd ailments — lupus, myelin sheath disorder, were getting fatter or were routinely coming with more and more medicines. It was not unusual to have 5 out of any 22 dogs be on prednisone and antibiotics at any given time. The why of it all began to bug me,” she recalls.\r\n\r\n“I began to study, ask questions, reach out. Mind you, this is pre-internet,” Tracie says. “When I discovered Marty Goldstein in upstate New York, I began to study in earnest and get any certification available.”\r\n\r\nMarty became her mentor and stressed whole foods, clean water, exercise, homeopathic remedies, herbal supplements, nutraceuticals, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and energy healing.\r\n\r\n“Couple that with my already being a practicing herbalist, I made the acquaintance of Randy Kidd who authored ‘Dr. Kidd’s Herbal Care for Dogs,’ and honed my herbal skills to include animals,” Tracie said. “Along the way I also put myself in front of Richard Pitcairn and Albert Plechner, two of the forerunners in natural animal health, who stress that dogs are what they eat.”\r\n\r\nToday, she works with a holistic vet in Aiken providing nutritional counseling for dogs with “dis-ease” for local clients who have tried traditional allopathic treatment and still have itchy, ill, badly behaved dogs.\r\n\r\nShe also produces REAL FOOD for dogs — a nutritionally complete frozen food for general health and maintenance made from real fruits, vegetables and hormone-free, antibiotic-free proteins.\r\n\r\nAs an adjunct to that, she also offers home boarding (CouchTime) because some dogs are not suited to kennel — the tinies, the elderly, the medically compromised and the dogs that have no life experience. She believes her yard and many acres provide the best place for a dog to reclaim his inner canine.\r\n\r\n“I also as serve as personal chef for a number of dogs that have very specific dietary requirements due to very specific medical impairments,” Tracie adds. “And just because, I will coach dog owners with ‘difficult’ pets in how to achieve a good working relationship with their Best Friends.”\r\n\r\nTracie said one of the most interesting aspects about her profession is seeing the difference between a sick dog and a healthy dog, and how rewarding that change can be for everyone. “It is selfishly gratifying to help a dog go from being an uncomfortable, unhappy, unwell, smelly creature to the dog we all want to have — the dog with a sparkle in his eye, a shiny coat, a carefree sense of being, and what I particularly like, an ornery edge — in a relatively short period of time,” she said. “It is gratifying to see the change in owners, too, when they are no longer stressing about endless, exorbitant vet bills and their chronically sick animal. It makes a big difference, spiritually, in people when they feel that they are contributing to the betterment of their pet’s life instead of blindly turning it over to strangers.”\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to family, Tracie’s mother, Doris, was a clinical dietician who instilled in her at an early age that you are what you eat. “She’s 91 and feisty, so it’s true,” Tracie adds.\r\n\r\nHer son Jaren Shafaieh, 30, is a chef at Swank &amp; Swine in Portland, OR, and Tracie said she looks forward to moving out there sometime in the future.\r\n\r\nBut for now she says most of her community efforts are for and in Sheldon, SC. “It’s a pretty hip little place with pretty hip people, all in all,” she said.\r\n\r\nThe philosophy behind her work is simple: “Our dogs hold a very special place in our physical and spiritual lives. They have not hurt us, have not let us down, have not criticized us. At the same time, they are woven into almost every moment of our lives. They are our best teachers of mindfulness: paying attention to their surroundings with a focus we’ll never know, living in a world of scent, movement, and adventure. They feel joy and happiness yet also frustration, fear, anger, disappointment, hunger, pain, discomfort. But they do not carry those stories. (This is the crux.) It is because of this gift to us that we must make their lives more complete. If I can help people understand how easy it is to be mindful and caring toward their dog — through allowing a dog to be a dog, through a diet that will give them the vitality to be the best dog, learning a new way to communicate effectively — in return, I am happy.”\r\n\r\nTracie’s goal is to teach more people how easy and how much cheaper it is to feed their Best Friends better food. She will do one-on-ones, group workshops, shopping/teaching expeditions or will just make it for folks who are convinced of the benefit but have no knife skills.  Delivery is free.\r\n\r\nContact Tracie Korol at 843-846-0804, email is letstalk@wholedog.biz, www.wholedog.biz.\r\n<div></div>', 'Animal Advice: Canine columnist Tracie Korol cares about the Whole Dog', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'animal-advice-canine-columnist-tracie-korol-cares-about-the-whole-dog', '', '', '2014-09-18 08:32:50', '2014-09-18 12:32:50', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18808', 0, 'post', '', 0),

In her role, Nikki is responsible for advertising sales, distribution and marketing, and, as she says, “Anything else needed to make sure The Island News continues to be Beaufort’s favorite newspaper!”\r\n\r\nWith dedication and a can-do attitude like that, The Island News’ advertising clients can expect top customer service and attention to detail from Nikki.\r\n\r\nBefore starting her new job, Nikki was the sales associate for The Island News’ sister organization, Beaufort Daily Deals, and she also worked for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18832\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Nikki-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18832\" alt=\"Bubba and Nikki Hardison at Hunting Island State Park.

She was a receptionist for Georgia Coast Realty on  St. Simons Island and she was disputing a bill with the owner of The Real Estate Book, a publication where Realtors list properties. The Real Estate Book’s owner must have noticed something he liked in Nikki’s manner as she handled the dispute, because at the end of the conversation he asked her if she was happy with her job. Although she enjoyed her current job, she agreed to meet with The Real Estate Book and soon she was managing the publication for the Brunswick/St. Simons area.\r\n\r\nOutside sales was obviously Nikki’s niche because she’s spent nearly two decades in the field. She has experience in print, radio and television outside sales.\r\n\r\nIf it’s unusual for a dispute to lead to a 20-year career, it’s probably even more unusual that Santa Claus led Nikki to The Island News.\r\n\r\nAccording to Nikki, “Santa Claus was coming through our neighborhood three years ago and my husband and I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Where we come from, Santa doesn’t drive through your neighborhood on a fire truck. I was taking pictures and my next door neighbor asked me to send them to him so he could put them in the paper. That’s when he introduced himself as Buck Boone from The Island News.”\r\n\r\nNot one to pass by an opportunity, Nikki soon emailed Buck, the former general manager of the paper, to ask him about job possibilities and became a sales associate of Beaufort Daily Deals.\r\n\r\nNikki believes in working smart, playing hard and making the most of every day. “I get to meet so many incredible people because of what I do for a living,” she says. “If you love what you do, it’s not really work.”\r\n\r\n“It’s so rewarding how much people love our newspaper,” Nikki says with a smile. “They cannot wait to get it every week and read it cover to cover. People in Beaufort are proud to have a local newspaper that is concerned with what goes on in our community.”\r\n\r\nNikki is eager to help launch new specialty pages in The Island News that will allow even the smallest businesses to advertise and reach a larger audience. In addition, she sees expanding The Island News’ readership and helping grow the paper is part of her responsibility to serve her customers.\r\n\r\nThe Brunswick, Ga., native is married to Bubba Hardison and they have three adult children and one grandson. Dalton 23, lives in Beaufort and works for Carolina Air; Halley, 22, is mom to 2-year-old Brayden, lives in Brunswick and is in nursing school; and Michael, 21, is a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C.\r\n\r\nNikki attended the College of Coastal Georgia but she says emphatically that she’s a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan. She has been a Chamber of Commerce volunteer in Brunswick and Beaufort for approximately 15 years. She’s also involved in the Beaufort Chapter of Business Networking International (BNI) and is a member of the current class of Leadership Beaufort.\r\n\r\nIn her free time she enjoys traveling and deer hunting with her husband (bow hunting is her preference) and she looks forward to hunting season every year.\r\n\r\nContact Nikki at 843-321-8281 or nikki.theislandnews@gmail.com.', 'Sales & Service: As General Manager of The Island News, Nikki Hardison believes in the client and supporting the business community', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sales-service-as-general-manager-of-the-island-news-nikki-hardison-believes-in-the-client-and-supporting-the-business-community', '', '', '2014-09-18 09:19:59', '2014-09-18 13:19:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18819', 0, 'post', '', 0),

On Friday, Sept. 19, ARTworks will introduce two.\r\n\r\nYoung local performer Trey Nelson, aka “Finesse,” hails from St. Helena Island. He describes himself as a “writer, poet, and actor who tries to put all aspects of these skills into his music.” He chose the stage name “Finesse” because he feels that it describes a combination of style and skill that he puts into all of his performances. Although he only started making music in the summer of 2012, with the release of an amateur mix tape, Trey has expanded his “brand” to websites ReverbNation, audiomack and YouTube, and a few of his tracks can be downloaded from iTunes, Google Play, or streamed on Spotify.\r\n\r\nClearly, this is a young man going places, but what is he all about? Like many young people, Trey is a hardcore idealist in the best way possible. In a blog post titled “The State of Hip Hop ... Through My Eyes,” he laments the downfall of hip hop which, in his words “became a marketable scheme that we allowed the ‘Man’ or in this case ‘Men’ to get their greedy little hands on. And from then on out it was a slow and painful decline of lyricist with simple trends just coming and going away as if rappers were seasons.”\r\n\r\nWhen asked to describe what makes his own music special, Trey says “a huge part of my music/philosophy is knowledge and empowerment. You hear the same things over and over on the radio, and I just can’t listen to that, so I make my own music. My music is positive to listen to, it makes sense.”\r\n\r\nPerforming onstage with Trey will be Christopher Bacon, a senior at Beaufort High. Although young, he is already a hip-hop artist and producer. His music is faster paced than Trey’s old school hip-hop influenced sound. Every note in Chris’ music is self-made, and his words seem to strike the air with force and a relentless beat.\r\n\r\nAlthough rap and hip hop have sometime been given a bad name as attracting and instigating violent crowds, these performers actively go against the stereotype. Instead, they focus on empowering young people to think about the world around them and be a positive force for change. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world” and these teens are doing just that, leading by example and dedication to their craft while inspiring others through music.\r\n\r\nThe show takes place Friday, September 19 at 7 p.m., at ARTworks located in Beaufort Town Center on Boundary Street. Tickets are $10 for ages 16 and up and $5 for ages 15 and under. Advance ticket sales at the $10 level are available at www.beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling 379-2787.\r\n<div></div>', 'ARTworks to feature young, local rappers', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'artworks-to-feature-young-local-rappers', '', '', '2014-09-18 09:34:31', '2014-09-18 13:34:31', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18821', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The walnut-shaped gland — known to wreak havoc on the lives of men 40 and older — hadn’t caused him any trouble.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18880\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Health-Hugh-Davis-prostate-patient.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18880\" alt=\"Prostate patient Hugh Davis.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Health-Hugh-Davis-prostate-patient-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Prostate patient Hugh Davis.[/caption]\r\n\r\nBut when two of his siblings began developing prostate issues, he decided not to take any chances. Every six months without fail, Davis went to his urologist for a PSA screening, a simple blood test used to look for signs of prostate cancer in men.\r\n\r\n“My brothers’ prostate issues made me more diligent about getting checked,” Davis says. “I started to get tested regularly just to be sure.”\r\n\r\nDavis was in his mid-40s when he began having the twice-a-year screenings. It was all good until the spring of 2013, when his PSA level came back higher than normal. A biopsy confirmed he had cancer.\r\n\r\n“I knew there was a slight chance I could develop cancer because of my family history,” the 69-year-old retired Beaufort attorney says. “But I had no symptoms. It was a shock to hear the words.”\r\n\r\nIn its early stage, prostate cancer is usually asymptomatic. According to the American Cancer Society, it’s most often discovered during routine screenings. Davis had several more tests, including an MRI and bone scan, to determine if cancer cells had spread to other parts of his body. The results showed the cancer was confined to the prostate.\r\n\r\nHis urologist, John Adams, MD, of Coastal Carolina Urology, offered Davis several treatment options — surgery, radiation or cryotherapy, which involves freezing and killing the cancer cells.\r\n\r\nProstate surgery is frequently used to treat localized prostate cancer, particularly for men with a life expectancy of more than 10 years. Surgically removing the entire prostate eradicates the cancer and reduces the chances it will come back.\r\n\r\nAlthough preventing recurrence was a priority for Davis, he was reluctant to have open surgery — the traditional approach to prostatectomy. In this operation, the surgeon removes the prostate and some of the tissue around it through a single long incision in the pubic area.\r\n\r\nAdams recommended Davis meet with fellow Beaufort Memorial urologist Michael Staley, MD, the only physician in Beaufort County performing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery.\r\n\r\n“Robotic surgery appealed to me because it offered the best chance of getting rid of the cancer totally with minimal side effects,” Davis says. “If it hadn’t been available, I probably would have gone with radiation therapy or the freezing treatment.”\r\n\r\nBecause Davis was in good health and in his 60s, he was a candidate for the procedure.\r\n\r\nUsing the advanced da Vinci Si Surgical System, the prostate can be removed through several small incisions in the abdomen, resulting in less blood loss and post-operative pain. Patients are discharged from the hospital the day after surgery and need a catheter for one week. In comparison, open surgery requires a two- to three-day hospital stay and two to three weeks with a catheter. Men can return to their regular activities in 10 days, compared to four to six weeks with the open approach.\r\n\r\nDavis chose to have the surgery last fall. Since then, his PSA levels have been undetectable, indicating the prostate cancer is gone.\r\n\r\n“I feel I made the right decision,” he says. “Now that it’s behind me, I don’t have to worry anymore.”\r\n\r\n<b>SEPTEMBER IS PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Prostate cancer continues to be the second most common cause of cancer deaths in men in the United States. One man in six will get prostate cancer during his lifetime. Most urologists still recommend PSA testing for patients 55 to 69, especially African American men who are nearly 1.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than Caucasian men and 2.4 times more likely to die from the disease.

(18885, 4, '2014-09-25 08:56:24', '2014-09-25 12:56:24', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nMajor media has encouraged us to add fish oil to our diets and, more recently, to the diets of our Best Friends. These Omega-3 long chain (LCTs) fatty acids help dogs with osteoarthritis, improving mobility and reducing inflammation, and can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Every store has a section devoted to fish oil. My question: where is it all coming from? To be effective, fish oil should come from North Atlantic cold-water fish. What with sustainability and over-fishing in the media forefront, it might be time to change up the oil situation.\r\n\r\nThe newest, and perhaps, more reliable nutritionally loaded oil is something you’re probably been avoiding for years — either that, or you think it’s a hair care product. Yep, we’re talking about coconut oil. Coconut oil consists of more than 90% saturated fats, with traces of few unsaturated fatty acids. Most of the saturated fats in coconut oil are Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the main component being lauric acid, followed by capric acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid and palmitic. The benefit of lauric acid is that it has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. Capric and caprylic acid have similar properties and are best known for their anti-fungal effects. So, if you have an itchy, smelly dog and nothing from the vet is working for more than 10 days, this might be a good addition to the snack bar.\r\n\r\nAlso, these MCTs are metabolized quickly providing an immediate source of fuel and energy.  Coconut oil can enhance athletic performance and aid weight loss. It can also help balance the thyroid, helping overweight dogs lose weight and helping sedentary dogs feel energetic.\r\n\r\nAs an important ingredient in America’s processed foods for most of the 20th century, coconut oil is one of the world’s few saturated-fat vegetable oils. That designation alone gave it a terrible reputation and by the 1990’s it had all but disappeared from our food supply. Unfortunately, the vegetable oils that replaced it (corn, rapeseed) caused more harm than coconut oil ever did and consequently, coconut oil is enjoying a revival.\r\n\r\nThe one you want to get to know is the unrefined “virgin” oil that is made from fresh coconuts. (The other, usually labeled RDB-Refined, Bleached, Deodorized-is made from copra or dried coconut meat and then treated with chlorine and hexane to remove impurities. It is inexpensive, bland and odorless, usually labeled as a skin or hair care product.) You’ll most likely find the virgin, organic oil in a glass jar at a health food store or in the better oils section of the grocery.   Depending on the temperature, coconut oil will be solid or liquid. Below 75 degrees it is solid and white; above that, it is a transparent liquid. And, it doesn’t have to be refrigerated.  If you do, be prepared to chip it out of the jar.\r\n\r\nWhile there have been no clinical trials on the effects of coconut oil in a dog’s diet, anecdotal evidence is impressive. Many reports involve beneficial results with itchy skin, cuts, wounds and ear problems. Dogs with flea allergies, contact dermatitis and/or dull coats typically stop scratching after coconut oil is added to their food.  An added benefit, I noticed, was with a smelly dog friend of mine, Ramone.  You know the kind of dog I mean — the one that smells like damp carpet all the time. Bathing Ramone was a waste of time and you had to change your clothes and wash your hands immediately after playing with him.  Ramone’s owner began to routinely dribble coconut oil onto Ramone’s chow. In less than a month Ramone and his owner enjoyed a stink-free life and Ramone could receive the daily body rubs he deserved.\r\n\r\nThe best way to give coconut oil is in small amounts throughout the day — a dab here and there, depending on the dog’s weight. I will “butter” a dog cookie with a scrape through a designated dog jar of coconut oil for a special treat in addition to stirring a spoonful into a meal.  Most dogs are happy to eat a gob from a teaspoon.\r\n\r\nOf course, as with anything new, you’ll want to start small. Introduce a little coconut oil gradually a little at a time in divided doses — 1/4 tsp for a tiny dog up to a teaspoonful for a big dog.  Because coconut oil kills harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeasts and fungi, the burden of removing dead organisms may trigger symptoms of detoxification. Headaches, fatigue, diarrhea and flu-like symptoms are common in humans who consume too much too fast and the same can happen with dogs.\r\n<div></div>', 'With coconut oil, no more fishy burps!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'with-coconut-oil-no-more-fishy-burps', '', '', '2014-09-25 08:56:24', '2014-09-25 12:56:24', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18885', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(18887, 4, '2014-09-25 08:57:42', '2014-09-25 12:57:42', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nOur quest to learn about great wines from around the world takes us to the Alsace region of France, a unique area with an interesting history that even has its own language, food and wines.\r\n\r\nAlsace is located on the eastern border of France, along the western banks of the Rhine River. Looking at a map of France, you find it squeezed into its corner, sort of jutting more into Germany than looking like it’s really in France. The history of this region is closely tied to its location. By 1500 BC, Celtic people had started to settle in Alsace. The Romans, by 58 BC, had invaded and established forts and viticulture here. In fact, the forts were as much to protect the highly valued wine industry as for any thing else.\r\n\r\nWhen the Roman Empire collapsed, Alsace was taken over by the Germanic Allemanni. These were agricultural people and their language became the base for northern German. The Franks defeated the Allemanni in the 5th century AD, and Alsace became part of the Kingdom of Austria. The Frankish realm was dissolved in 843. Then, the grandsons of Charlemagne divided the realm into three parts; Alsace was part of Middle Francia, and was ruled by the youngest grandson, Lothar. When Lothar died, his third of the original realm was divided into three again. The part known as Lotharingia, or Lorraine, was given to his son. The Kingdom of Lotharingia did not last long.\r\n\r\nDuring the 12th and 13th centuries, Alsace experienced great prosperity. It was set up as a sort of province, looked over by a civil servant for Frederick I. Harsh winters, bad harvests and the Black Death brought the good days to an end at the close of the 14th century.\r\n\r\nThe residents of Strasbourg were prosperous again, by the time of the Protestant Reformation, and accepted Protestantism in 1523. The Roman Catholic Habsburgs, though, also had influence in Alsace. Consequently, Alsace became a mixture of Protestant and Catholic territories.\r\n\r\nThrough the 16th and 17th centuries, the tugs of war for pieces of Alsace continued. As France and Germany became unified countries, elements from each laid claim to Alsace. Treaties were written with Alsace being sometimes French and sometimes German. It’s only since the end of World War II, in 1945, that Alsace has become permanently a part of France.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to Alsatian wine, close to 90 percent are white. Many of the grape varieties used are more often thought of as German. Wines are labeled for their grape variety, the only one of 27 French AC wine regions, though it is the norm in Germany. There are only three AC appellations for Alsatian wines — Alsace AC for still white, red and rosé wines; Alsace Grand Cru for white wines grown in classified vineyards; and, Crémant d’Alsace for sparkling wines.\r\n\r\nWhite wines are very dry or sweet. All Alsatian wines must be bottled in tall, thin, green bottles; the usual “Rhine” bottle. Interestingly, in Germany, there is no legal requirement to use this bottle.\r\n\r\nRiesling is the main, and greatest, white variety grown in Alsace, it accounts for about 22 percent of all the grapes grown. Gewurztraminer comes in second at about 19 percent of the total. These are both German varieties of grapes. Pinot Gris, a French grape, is third at 15 percent. Others, in order of more grown to less grown, are Auxerrois blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Muscat varieties, Chasselas, and small bits of a few more. Whatever grape is named on a label, the wine must be 100 percent that variety. About 25 percent of all Alsatian wines are exported to their largest markets in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and the United States.\r\n\r\nOur grape this week is Pinot Blanc, a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir. In 2000, there were about 3,200 acres of Pinot Blanc planted in France. Almost all of them in Alsace. It’s confusing, and despite the AC wine labeling laws for Alsace, some “Pinot Blanc” labeled wines are not all Pinot Blanc. Sometimes, it is just a catch-phrase for “A blend of whatever Pinot grapes.” Sometimes, a splash of Chardonnay may be added. Not legal, but not really watched for either. Fuller-bodied Pinot Blanc wines often are pumped up with Auxerrois.\r\n\r\nThe thing is, a good Pinot Blanc wine is delicious! The flavors and aromas of Pinot Blanc include apple, citrus fruits and floral notes. Beside Alsace, Pinot Blanc is grown in Germany, Austria, northern Italy, the U.S., South Africa, Canada, Argentina and Australia.\r\n\r\nOur wine this week is from the Pierre Sparr winery, which was founded in 1680 by Jean Sparr. Over the next 300 years, nine generations of the family worked in their vineyards and winery. Pierre Sparr took over the winery in the early 1900’s, at the age of 20. His motto was “invest, progress and maintain,” a motto that is still used today. The Sparr vineyards were mostly destroyed in World War II, but Pierre and his sons replanted them and expanded their trade with Europe and abroad. Just like before the war, the Sparr property once again became one of the most beautiful in Alsace.\r\n\r\nOur 2011 Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc is 100 percent Pinot Blanc — no wiggling around laws with the Sparrs. The soil where these grapes grow is granite, limestone, gneiss and chalky clay. There is no irrigation for the trellised vines and the grapes are hand harvested. The vines are 5 to 15 years old. The harvest for the 2011 grapes was September 10 to 25. Almost always in Alsace, harvest is 100 days after the flowering of the vines in the spring. Fermentation for this wine was temperature controlled, with no skin contact and no malolactic fermentation. This wine is a soft yellow color with hints of green. It has aromas of pears, sweet hay, lemon peel, delicate fruits, coriander and minerals; pear and quince flavors pop in the dynamic acidity of the wine.\r\n\r\nWhat kind of food pairs well with the Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc? Well, even though we have some German grapes, German-style labels, German bottles, Alsatian foods are a bit more French in style. And, lucky us, their wines go with all kinds of cuisines including creamy sauces, on fish especially; choucroute (cabbage, sausage, potatoes all stewed together); Asian flavors of all types — sushi, wasabi, soy sauce, fish sauce, dim sum, curries, onion tarts (like Quiche Lorraine); ham and cheese; sausages; pork; seafood and shellfish; lobster; goat cheeses; smoked cheeses; smoked meats; game birds; and foods with citrus flavors.  Almost everything except tomato sauce.\r\n\r\nReally, wines from Alsace seem to be really well suited to most foods. With all the ups and downs in their history, it makes sense. So, let’s make a point of drinking these wines more often. This week’s wine can be found at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island for $14.99. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'A new \'sparr\'-ing partner', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-new-sparr-ing-partner', '', '', '2014-09-25 08:57:42', '2014-09-25 12:57:42', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18887', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I explained that I was enjoying some of my old friends; there was Sonny and Cher, “I Got You Babe”; and Simon and Garfunkel, “A Bridge Over Troubled Water”; and my old Motown buddies, The Supremes, with “Love child”; and Marvin Gaye, “Heard It Through the Grapevine.” Of course, when I drive through Beaufort, I enjoy listening to any of the songs from the movie “The Big Chill.”\r\n\r\nThere is so much joy in listening to radio stations like 104.9 and hearing many of the old songs from the 60s and 70s. It amazes me the amount of songs that I recognize from over the years — and especially when I actually know the lyrics. Oh, there are always those songs where you hum many of the lines, but you can always jump in on the chorus.\r\n\r\nRecently I read that there are several reasons why we remember the lyrics to old songs. The obvious reason is because we listened to one song over and over again; there is nothing like repetition to get us to learn words. How many of us had 45 rpm records where the record player just kept playing the same song over and over again?\r\n\r\nThen there is the emotional attachment to songs, an experience when a particular song is playing. It is one of the reasons why so many couples say, “They are playing our song.”\r\n\r\nOne year when my daughter was 13 years old, I dragged her to a Harry Belafonte concert. She told me how bored she was going to be but when Harry Belafonte started to sing, she realized that she knew all the songs.  There was “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” and the “Banana Boat Song (Day-Oh)”. The audience sang along to all of his songs and my 13 year old was right with them. She had forgotten about all those 8 track tapes I played in my old Pinto station wagon.\r\n\r\nSo if you do happen to see me driving in my car and it looks like I am having a good time, remember: “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”!', 'Singing in the car', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'singing-in-the-car', '', '', '2014-09-25 08:59:22', '2014-09-25 12:59:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18889', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Ready the furnace and clean out the fireplace. Test them both to ensure they’ll be working when you need the heat. With upkeep in the fall, you’ll have peace of mind in the winter.\r\n\r\n<b>Inside The House</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Heating System Checkup</b>\r\n\r\nBe sure to change the air filter in your furnace and check its efficiency before the cold weather begins. Call in an HVAC contractor to test the heating output and give the system a tune-up. This technician can also check for and correct possibly hazardous carbon monoxide levels generated by your heating system. Stock up on several air filters for the winter, and change them every month. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, purchase one for the system to help lower your energy costs.\r\n\r\nAfter your furnace has been tuned up to its maximum efficiency, take a moment to inspect your heating ducts and vents. Dust them off and clear away anything that may have gotten into them over the summer. Then check your windows for any leaks that may compromise your heating efficiency. If you feel cold air coming in, purchase a plastic sealing kit from the hardware store and place the plastic around the window to keep the heat from escaping. Be sure to check your doors as well, and fix their weather-stripping if needed.\r\n\r\n<b>Check the Fireplace and Chimney</b>\r\n\r\nMost chimney sweeps recommend an annual sweeping, but depending on how often you use the fireplace, you might be able to wait on a full sweep. But if you will be using the fireplace often, call a chimney sweep for an inspection.\r\n\r\nHopefully you will have your older, seasoned firewood now ready for use after sitting for the spring and summer. It’s recommended to keep the firewood at least 30 feet from the house and covered. Seasoned wood is best for fires, as it burns cleaner and longer.\r\n\r\n<b>Review Home Fire Safety</b>\r\n\r\nThe introduction of the heating season brings new potential for fire hazards, so take a moment to review fire safety in your home. Check and replace fire extinguishers if necessary, and change the batteries in your smoke detectors. Also go over the home fire evacuation plan with your family.\r\n\r\n<b>Outside The House</b>\r\n\r\n<b>The Gutters</b>\r\n\r\nIt’s best to inspect and clean the gutters a few times during the fall, especially if there are many leafy trees around your house. If gutters remain clogged, water will spill over them and onto the ground next to the foundation, which may cause damage to the foundation. Gutters and downspouts should be kept clean and should direct water away from the foundation, as well as from walkways and driveways, so that they do not become slippery or icy.\r\n\r\n<b>Yard Maintenance</b>\r\n\r\nThe orange, yellow, and brown colors of the autumn leaves don’t look as nice on the ground as they do on the trees. Rake the leaves into piles and scoop them into yard waste bags. Most areas have ordinances about burning leaves, so check with your local area government first. When sweeping the leaves off your patio, don’t forget to clean, pack up, and store any patio furniture for the winter. Disconnect garden hoses and, if practical, use an indoor valve to shut off and drain water from pipes leading to outside faucets. This reduces the chance of freezing in the section of pipe just inside the house.\r\n\r\n<b>In The Garage</b>\r\n\r\nIt is recommended that you empty out unused fuel from any gas-powered equipment stored in the garage, such as a lawnmower, because sediment can build up and clog the fuel lines. Store gasoline in tanks out of children’s reach.\r\n\r\n<b>Test Your Emergency Generator</b>\r\n\r\nIt’s a good idea to have an emergency generator if you live in an area that sees a lot of ice storms. So if you have one, haul it out and give it a test run to see if it is in good working order. Make sure you never run the generator in any enclosed space as it will present a carbon monoxide hazard.\r\n<div></div>', 'Autumn maintenance in and around your home', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'autumn-maintenance-in-and-around-your-home', '', '', '2014-09-25 09:08:18', '2014-09-25 13:08:18', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18900', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I had bought the evening meal and was returning to my car in the jammed parking lot. I was getting in the car when I looked down at the asphalt. There, just freshly stepped on or run over by a cart or maybe a car, was one of those giant grasshoppers.  It struck me hard. The architect of life had seen fit to snuff out this voiceless and small observer of life with giant eyes, just moments before I walked up. I stood there staring.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18939\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Deb-Duer.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18939\" alt=\"Deb Duer\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Deb-Duer-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Deb Duer[/caption]\r\n\r\nI wondered what allowed me to finish my shopping when even one little insect had unceremoniously croaked just under my driver’s side door. I could not bear the finality to a life that allowed others to go on living in that same moment. I was still standing there trying to think through this problem when it occurred to me how fundamentally unaware I was of my own life, how relatively unappreciative, how careless was my way of living.  I might care more for how my home was constructed than how my life is. I would question the architect about the building material or the soundness of the construction, but to question the architect about what’s going on in my life?\r\n\r\nI did not write a check to pay for my experience of living, no one offered a pound of gold pieces to the author of me to ensure that things would turn out OK. No, my life was given to me free of all charges to do with and become what ever I could imagine or how little I could get a way with.  Where was my plan for myself, the plan that told me how many minutes to spend on the most important to the most humdrum aspects of living? Minutes, hours, days, months and years had escaped me with not so much as a thought to where they would lead. I had played my hand without thinking of the game and there were no tricks left to take.\r\n\r\nI was sitting in the car now, looking down at the small lifeless creature who gave impetus to my continued thoughts. How could it be that it was just gone? It was clear to me that this was not an answer I could know. But what it led me to think was that one day I will just be gone too and planet Earth and all her creatures will go on without me. Thankfully, there is still time for me to live in a manner that bespeaks a love and gratitude for this great adventure to which I have inadvertently become tangent. There is still time to live in a wonderfully deliberate way.\r\n\r\nI put the car in drive, thinking that I did not want it to be weeks before I thought of this moment again. I wanted it to be a turning point in my life. I wanted the energy from that little green alien to fill my heart and be the prescription I needed to find a way to care deeply about what I did and what kind of impact I was having.  It occurred to me as I finally closed the door to leave, that maybe that grasshopper spent its whole life trying to get to that spot in the parking lot so that I would finally learn that my life could begin its unique celebration!\r\n\r\nThese moments of clarity and insight are available much more often than you might imagine. They wake us up and we start to live with intention.  We can receive the gift of living life more sweetly from a brief moment of awareness anywhere, anytime we are willing to be present.\r\n\r\n<i>Deb Duer is a freelance writer whose work is inspired by the never-ending supply of surprises that life can deliver!

This was how the Lunch Bunch spent last Friday afternoon at the new Lazy Susan’s Cafe &amp; Creperie located in Habersham.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18928\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC_0049.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18928\" alt=\"A luscious latte\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC_0049-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> A luscious latte[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe restaurant, which opened in July, features a large variety of coffee — from the house blend coffee bar to the french press options to the expertly made espresso drinks. I ordered a non-fat latte and it was served in a cute little red mug and saucer and matching spoon, with a perfect swirl on top (as a former barista myself, I appreciate the craft). Drinking it just made me sit back in my chair and relax; Elizabeth ordered one too and we agreed the lattes were excellent.\r\n\r\nThe menu is divided up into “Savory Crepes” and “Sweet Crepes,” and they even have Kids Crepes available.\r\n\r\nKim ordered the French Englishman filled with tomato, bacon, egg and cream cheese and it looked amazing. Nikki tried the James Bond — a crepe with bacon, mushroom, onion, spinach and Feta cheese and she said it was so good.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18929\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC_00511.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18929\" alt=\"The French Englishman crepe\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DSC_00511-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> The French Englishman crepe[/caption]\r\n\r\nIrene’s Huevos Rancheros crepe had sausage and peppers inside and was topped with avocado slices, a fried egg, and pico sauce. It looked very tasty. I also enjoyed The Old Forge, a crepe made with bacon, egg and cheese, then has pico on top, which is similar to salsa.\r\n\r\nWe split the Sweet Crepes, and couldn’t decide which one we liked best because they were all fabulous. Half of the table was bananas over the Bananas Foster crepe, and the rest of us adored the Graham Cracker Cheesecake crepe topped with strawberries and cherries. Seriously, wow, words can’t describe the goodness. Just go taste for yourself.\r\n\r\nLazy Susan’s Cafe &amp; Creperie is located 31A Market Street, Beaufort, SC, 29906.

However, there’s more to the show than that. Like the Andrews Sisters, the performers are a sister act. In this case, though, there are only two sisters, Emily and Lacy Miller, who are known professionally as “Gracie and Lacy”.  The sisters grew up in Missouri where their shared love of music and theater developed early. At ages 8 and 10, they hung a bed sheet curtain across their parents’ garage door, creating their own “theater” to perform musicals in, with lawn chair seating in the driveway. Their productions became a neighborhood tradition, earning the name “Broadway On The Driveway”.  The name stuck even after a few years, when the sisters moved their musical theater productions to a local performing arts center and mounted semi-professional shows comprised of up to 90 youth performers, a full orchestra, and technical crew.\r\n\r\nContinuing to both perform and direct musical theatre throughout their teens and early 20s, the duo won numerous awards and acclaim in their home state of Missouri, including grants from the Young Singers Foundation for 12 years in a row, a stint as Branson Guest Entertainers, Finalists on Marvin Hamlisch’s Star Search and recipients of a Missouri Senatorial Resolution recognizing their contribution to the arts.\r\n\r\nAlways fascinated with classic Americana and the glamor of vintage fashion, the pair decided to focus on creating their own shows based on each sister’s talents in 1997. Now touring nationally, the pair is known onstage for tight harmonies, retro costumes (which Lacy designs) and tap dancing (which Gracie choreographs), all set to the classic music of the 1930s through the 50s. This talented pair will perform “Jump, Jive &amp; Swing” at ARTworks on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m.; tickets are $20.\r\n\r\nOther performances in the American Music Series include: An Elvis Presley tribute show on October 18 by Elvis impersonator Michael Viljac, The Life and Music of Johnny Mercer on October 25, Trae Gurley Performs Frank Sinatra’s Greatest Hits on November 14, and a Swingin’ Christmas Show on December 7.\r\n\r\nARTworks is located at 2127 Boundary Street in the Beaufort Town Center.
