So please bear with me and stick to the ideas and not the organizations, as I am not pointing fingers, laying blame of suggesting that I have all of the answers.\r\nAt the same time this is about an important and necessary conversation that affects taxpayer dollars and the general health of our special hometown.\r\n\r\nIs it good stewardship for Beaufort City Council to invest limited city dollars thinly among two Chambers of Commerce and three visitors’ guides, while splitting the remainder of (about $50,000) among other worthwhile organizations for whom there are never enough money to meet their objectives?\r\nIs it good stewardship when City Council does not coordinate with County Council, which has its own process, to ensure there is no duplication while collectively investing about $500,000 a year in tourism marketing?\r\nI think not!\r\nWhile I have no magic answers, I think it is time to face this question to make sure we spend your tax dollars in the best possible manner. For Beaufort to remain a sustainable hometown we need a balance between those who live here, those who are actively retired and those who visit and one day may relocate or send others to visit. This is to say that marketing Beaufort is very important to all of us.\r\nDuring my four previous years on City Council and the three that I have been mayor, members of council have not been happy with the status quo. While accepting and generally supporting recommendations from the city’s Tourism Development Advisory Committee (TDAC), every year we’ve asked them to bring back a more effective and better coordinated ways to do what we all want ... providing the most effective marketing programs limited dollars can buy.\r\nBut year after year, TDAC comes back to council with the same requests from the same organizations, who want to do the same thing, while few have exhibited an ability to work together toward a more integrated marketing program. Between our DMO and City Council, I do not believe we have given this volunteer group the guidelines for ensuring this and they have not seemingly created their own.\r\nMy concern was compounded when the Chamber of Commerce, which is currently Designated Marketing Organization (DMO for the city and county) which gets TDAC funding as well as a supplement from the state, had an identity crisis, first spinning off an independent Visitors and Convention Bureau and within months taking it back under its wings with a still divided Chamber Board of Directors whose members, seemingly, in disagreement about how to market Beaufort with limited dollars.\r\nAnd this concern was even further compounded when I heard the same concerns from County Council members though they seem more concerned about fiscal accountability than what I believe what I believe have been inefficient investments.\r\nWe can do better.\r\nThat is why I proposed assembling a group of experienced stakeholders to recommend a more efficient strategy to stretch the thin dollars, get rid of duplication and integrate fragmented marketing efforts. The group will exist for no more than several months and will make recommendations to Council which has the ultimate responsibility for decisions. Members will include those with professional marketing experience, members of TDAC, small and large businesses and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and Main Street among others. I hope a representative from County Council who represents a district north of the Broad River should be included as they have their separate but similar funding process.\r\nThe goal is not to exclude, but to widen the circle seeking answers heretofore not provided.\r\nThe optimal result is for the chamber (DMO) to regain public confidence, assume a stronger and more collaborative role in leading efforts to market our wonderful community and to let council get on with our other business with the confidence that taxpayer dollars are being invested effectively.\r\nNo doubt, this is a very complicated issue because we must comply with an out-of-date state law that governs the expenditures and the distribution process, a growing number of organizations promoting Beaufort and an unintended disconnect between the county and city allocating funds to the same organizations with little if any coordination.\r\nIf not now, when do we try to get a handle on the issue?\r\n\r\nFrom where do the dollars flow?\r\nFew would expect a city of only 12,000 people, most of whom are moderate to low income, almost half of whom are renters, to have available dollars for large scale marketing. Most of the city’s direct “tourism investments” come in the form of keeping Beaufort beautiful, safe and inviting.\r\nState law requires provides limited ATAX dollars, some of which go directly — at the city’s and county’s direction — to the DMO while others are handed out by the TDAC, but these funds must be invested to market Beaufort to prospects that live outside of a 50 mile radius of the city.\r\nIf each hotel and restaurant contacted each of its past guests and those on their prospect lists and incented a return visit, we would likely meet the state requirement, which is to put more heads in beds, fill more seats in restaurants and generate even more ATAX and hospitality dollars each year so there would be more to invest in the same way the next year.\r\nWhile this approach would clearly meet state requirements, reward those who raise the marketing dollars through taxes added to their fares and likely generate more visitors to Beaufort than the previous year, is that all we want from our investment? While we of course we want to fill beds and have successful restaurants, we need to package and offer more of the assets of our community to get those people here.\r\nIn addition to the state dollars directed to the DMO, the city is granted modest dollars to spread out among a large number of small organizations to supplement what the chamber does. When these groups line up before the city’s TDAC, they generally ask for about two times the available amount. Furthermore, there is no requirement that the groups awarded dollars complement each others efforts and/or coordinate with the chamber’s seasonal campaigns.\r\nThe result is we partially fund three visitors’ guides; organizations focus on their own programs without regard for helping others and a fragmented approach to investing public dollars is not as effective as it could be.\r\nIs that what marketing Beaufort should be all about? I think not.\r\nMy personal view is that most who visit us, among them the many who return to live here, come to Beaufort because we are who we are: an historically beautiful waterfront community, with a wide assortment of outdoor sports, a rich history and unique complement of cultural activities and the special and diversity of a real hometown, that is fortunate to host marine corps graduations and a renowned ocean side state park.\r\nThe alignment of the question as to who is in charge of marketing for the chamber and the fragmentation of public investments leads me to believe it is time for a change.\r\nWe must get a better handle on marketing so we invest in initiatives that ensure taxpayers, and especially businesses that are taxed at a higher rate than we would like, get more.\r\nIf not now, when?

There is a garden bed with leafy vegetables and boats in the yard. As soon as I met her, I met two of her grandchildren, her husband, Charles, and Freckles the dog. This is where a breast cancer survivor lives. This is what she looks like. What’s hard to imagine for the women who haven’t been diagnosed with breast cancer is how the women who have manage their diagnoses while still pursuing a life.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3931\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\" caption=\"Audrey Graham and her dog Freckles.\"]<a href=\"https://actionclub.site/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/audrey-graham-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3931\" title=\"audrey graham\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/audrey-graham-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAudrey came to me passionately seeking to shed awareness on a retreat called Casting for Recovery, a program that focuses on “wellness instead of illness and on empowerment as opposed to helplessness” by bringing breast cancer survivors together on a fly fishing retreat free of charge.\r\n“It was wonderful,” Audrey beckoned. “I had to prove to myself that I could drive to North Carolina by myself. Before cancer, I was really independent. But after cancer, I couldn’t do anything on my own. I drove to North Carolina and didn’t know anybody there, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me after cancer.”\r\nIn February of 2003, Audrey passed her routine mammogram test, but just later that year she knew something wasn’t right when her right breast felt much harder than the left. At the time, Audrey was preoccupied with a probate and the difficult passing of her mother. “I was at work in my cubicle,” she recalled, “and I heard my mother’s voice and she said, ‘Call the doctor right now. Take care of the problem and don’t wait.’ ” That same day at the hospital, Audrey was so adamant about her intuition that she ordered a tissue biopsy after passing yet another mammogram.\r\nIt was breast cancer, receptive to the estrogen hormone. The diagnosis meant a mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, reconstruction, a period of estrogen-blocking medicine and a long five-year recovery.\r\nAudrey’s testament to her family’s support nearly brought me to tears. Love is a husband you’ve been married to for 50 years who would cup his hands for you to get sick if you were too weak to make it to the bathroom. Love is your children and grandchildren who make a banner out of a sheet and hang it up between the trees outside of your window so that whenever you look outside you see, “I love you, Nanny.”\r\nNo one in Audrey’s family ever had breast cancer before. While the causes of cancer still remain unclear, each survivor has her theory. “I was always on birth control for years and years, when they were higher in hormones than they are now. Then I took hormone replacements when I was 40 after a hysterectomy, and a high dose of Premarin [an estrogen medication],” said Audrey. “My feeling, my opinion, is that the hormones we put in our body are causing cancer.”\r\nThen Audrey read a book titled “Time is a River” by Mary Alice Monroe that ultimately brought her to Casting for Recovery in 2009. “A lot of people say, well I don’t really want to even fly fish, but once they get there they get all excited about the fly fish,” said Audrey.\r\n“You’re out with fellow people, but you don’t have television. You don’t have telephone. You don’t have any of that stuff because you’re right there with a bunch of women that have the same problems as you do. And you create bonds that go on.”\r\nThis weekend, for the first time ever, Casting for Recovery is hosting a two and a half day retreat in the Lowcountry on Bray’s Island. Each woman will get one-on-one instruction in the basics of catch-and-release fly fishing. The range of motion is particularly beneficial for anyone who’s had a mastectomy or lumpectomy. They’ll do crafts, they’ll talk, they’ll sing as they reconnect with the world around them.

Those who practice a religious faith may turn to their church, temple, or synagogue or might seek out other religious and spiritual supports.\r\nHumans have a fear of death; animals do not. Humans are also fear-based; animals are not. We tend to project our human emotions onto our dogs.\r\nI believe that animals do not view the moving from one life form to another the in the same way we do. As a Reiki practitioner, I look at an animal’s passing as its “transition.” I also believe, even when they are physically gone, they don’t ever leave us.  There is a gypsy saying that if just one person remembers a loved one, that loved one is still alive.\r\nIf you are willing to look at death as a natural, profound and even beautiful part of life, it becomes easier for your animal to relax and either gets well or leave peacefully.  I often counsel, when the time nears, to sit quietly with a Best Friend, listen as best you can, make peace with your animal friend, remember your life shared together, thank them for their time and devotion and finally, let them know that you are willing to let them go.\r\nSelfishly, the day before Bea died, I told her she couldn’t go, that I needed her and that it was too hard to see her fail. I put the burden on my friend to handle my feelings by requiring her to continue living.  The next day she told me she had to go. I took a picture of her at that moment. There is no mistaking the look in her eyes.  We spent time that last day in thanks, and love and with Reiki, I could ease her transition gently. While the loss of Bea’s physical presence was crushing, the connection to her spirit helps me put the whole process in perspective.  Her energy transitioned from a physical form that I was able to share for 17 years to one that I am now aware of, but just can’t see.\r\nMemorializing our pets is a way to preserve memories and honor our canine friends plus, it helps to process our loss.  Rituals can focus, center, and calm us and convert something painful into something less painful. Ted Kerasote writes in his book, “Merle’s Door,” of the tribute paid by his entire community, to Merle, his amazing, yet run-of-the-mill dog, upon his death.\r\nMerle was sent on his journey in a Native American tradition but the list of remembrances is endless. For instance: light candles, plant trees or flowers, write poetry or music in tribute and memory to your Best Friend. Create a memorial plaque: I still have the marker my son, then aged 9, made for Oblio, a testament to heart, creativity and amateur carpentry. It’s one of the most precious things I own.  Create a special place in your home for ashes, photos, flowers, and mementos such as collars or favorite toys. Or, send a donation, in your pet’s name, to an animal-related cause.\r\nPlanning for and subsequently dealing with the loss of a canine companion is possibly one of the hardest, most painful situations we encounter. Preparing for the loss will be difficult, but might be the best decision you can make to help your friend transition peacefully and with honor.  Once he is gone and your pain is omnipresent, remember that with the gift of time, you will recover and the pain will go away. Wonderful memories will remain.', 'The last goodbye: Remembrances', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-last-goodbye-remembrances', '', '', '2011-11-03 06:43:14', '2011-11-03 10:43:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=3974', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(3976, 4, '2011-11-03 06:44:03', '2011-11-03 10:44:03', 'By Celia Strong\r\nWe’re off to Sonoma County in California this week.  And, actually, to a winery we’ve looked at a long time ago.  But, it’s a new wine and it is yum yum.\r\nThe winery is St. Francis. For more than 35 years, St. Francis has produced wines in Sonoma from mountain and valley vineyards that are bold flavored and fruit forward and represent the soils and climates that they come from.  St. Francis began it journey in 1971, in the Sonoma town of Kenwood.  A San Franciscan businessman, Joe Martin, and his wife, Emma, bought 100 acres known as the Behler Ranch. In 1979, after growing and selling their grapes to local wineries, they decided, along with a partner Lloyd Canton, to build their own winery. St. Francis Winery was established and christened after St. Francis of Assisi, in recognition of the saint’s role as a protector of the natural world and in acknowledgment of the Franciscan order, thought to have been responsible for the beginning of European grape growing in the New World.  In 1999, St. Francis built and moved into a new facility about one mile from their original winery.\r\nThen, in 2001, their Visitors Center was finished and the next step of their vision was complete.  The Visitors Center looks out over Wild Oak Vineyard (one of their best land holdings) and offers three separate tasting bars, a beautiful slate patio with panoramic views of many surrounding vineyards, gardens full of lavender and other herbs and plants and vistas of Sonoma Valley behind all of this. If you’ve never visited St. Francis, this is why they built the Visitors Center and it is one of two reasons you should go. (The other reason is their wines, duh.)\r\nLike many other wineries, in this country and around the world, “going green” is a coming trend for health, quality and environmental reasons.  As the President of St. Francis says, “We continue to enjoy tremendous success by focusing on Sonoma County where we grow 100% of our grapes. With success comes responsibility to future generations who will live and work here as well.  Engaging in green practices is the right thing to do, which makes it the right way to run a business.”\r\nAll that sounds good but I, at least, found this list of what that means at St. Francis very interesting.  I hope you do too: in 2004, St. Francis installed a 457 kilowatt solar electrical system on their roof in order to conserve the equivalent of 32,000 barrels of oil, 14.5 million pounds of coal or 190 million cubic feet of Natural Gas; also in 2004 they retrofitted the lighting in the winery switching to energy efficient T5 fixtures with 221 motion sensors and saved 55% in energy usage; maintenance crews use electric carts on the property; night air is “trapped” among the stored cases and barrels to keep them cool; winery water is cleaned naturally to irrigate the 120 acres of vineyards on the Wild Oak site; all winery refuse goes to the county transfer station where it is sorted for Single Stream Recycling; all paper waste is picked up by local businesses, shredded on site and recycled locally;  glass bottles are 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without any loss in purity or quality; St. Francis is committed to using a minimum of 50% recycled material; the 2009 Farm Plan was established to move towards practicing sustainability to enhance vineyards and make the wines better; the slate used on the walls of the winery and the Visitors Center, and the slate used for drainage areas, was naturally sourced from the Wild Oak vineyard;  the metal roof structures for the Winery and storage buildings were built with 70% recycled steel.  And, that’s not the whole list, but it does show their level of commitment.  (In 2009, St. Francis Winery received the “Best Practices Award” from the Sonoma County Business Environmental Alliance.)  And, if they’re that committed to their green policies, just think how that moves over to their wine making.\r\nOne more second, though, before we go to the wine.  There is another award that St. Francis Winery has won recently — the 2011 Winery Dog of the Year,  For any of us who have visited wineries in California, and Sonoma especially, a dog or two is almost expected as part of your greeting when you arrive.  Max, at St. Francis, is a 7-year-old Goldendoodle. (That means cream colored, soft, curly, couple-inch long hair and a great disposition for all the petting and attention he gets.)  Congratulations, Max!\r\nFinally, now, our wine. Get your glass ready because this one is new and wonderful. It’s the St.. Francis Syrah.  Holy cow! This wine is such a treat.  All of St.. Francis’ wines are smooth and juicy textured in your mouth.  This one is so juicy it makes my mouth water.  Plus the juicy texture lingers on you tongue and holds the flavors there so it never leaves you.  You may realize by now how I like to sip my way through a couple of glasses and see how the wine does — how it lingers, how it changes, how I change with it, the whole show.  The more I ooh and ah going through the couple of glasses the more I like the wine.  First glass of this wine I run though flavors of chocolate and baking spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, second glass I pick up more fruit flavors like blackberries, intense dark strawberries and then white pepper and cocoa.  Yum, yum. This wine would be lovely with grilled salmon and tuna, roasted chicken, Wednesday night meatloaf, a bath on Saturday night, you get the idea. St.. Francis Winery this month recommends sauteed mushrooms over herbed goat cheese polenta, or grits to us. Yum. Let’s not forget to talk about the price also. This wine is somewhere between $19 and $22 retail.  Unless, of course, you shop well, then it’s $13.99.  (Yep, another one of our deals.)  So, for $13,99, we can all enjoy another great wine.

The store is full of fresh cut meat on one side, freezers teeming with everything from Moes’ Lowcountry Shrimp Dogs to ostrich on the other side, and racks of marinades, sauces and seasonings in the middle.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3979\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\" caption=\"Beef brisket with cheddar sandwich.\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_1533.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3979\" title=\"IMG_1533\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_1533-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe market has such a variety, here are just a few savory and unique items: steaks, pork chops, deli meats and cheeses, ribs, sausage, homemade chili, Italian meatloaf, liver pudding, pepper bacon, hot crab dip, even packages of homemade dog and cat food.\r\nOur meal started with an extravagant spread of cheese and crackers. There were three kinds of pimento cheese — regular, olive and jalapeño — and a shrimp dip. At our little table, Heather, Elizabeth and I couldn’t stop eating all the cheeses and we totally finished the shrimp dip, the chunks of shrimp and other fish were so fresh, it was a satisfying flavor burst with every bite. Julian said people come in to buy containers of the pimento cheese this time of year because they are perfect for tailgating.\r\nIslands Meat Market has an extensive daily lunch sandwich menu — delicious choices that range from roast beef to chicken salad to liverwurst — all for only $5. They also have daily platter features, which we sampled.\r\nElizabeth tried the Shepherds pie, a plate full of cheese and mashed potatoes over steak, instead of the traditional ground beef. She said it was great, and very filling.\r\nHeather ordered the beef brisket sandwich made with cheddar cheese and horseradish sauce. She could barely get her mouth around the huge hunk of a sandwich, the slices of brisket and cheese were so big, which made it awesome.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3980\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\" caption=\"Pork stir fry with rice.\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_1531.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-3980\" title=\"IMG_1531\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_1531-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nI had the pork stir fry with rice and loved it. The pieces of pork were marinated and cooked to perfection and were much bigger than the skinny slices usually associated with stir fry. The big green snap peas and red pepper slices gave my plate ultimate color appeal, and were a crunchy compliment to the tender meat.\r\nAt the other table, Kim, Buck and our guest Lunch Buncher Sarah also enjoyed their meals.\r\nKim chose the barbecue half chicken and said it was delicious. The giant portion made for lots of leftovers for later.\r\nBuck went with the classic barbecue baby back ribs. The plate started out piled high with ribs, but only bones were left after he got through with them.\r\nSarah, Kim and Elizabeth’s youngest sister visiting all the way from Dallas, Texas, tried the Shrimp pie. Served piping hot, the dish was similar to a chicken pot pie, except made with shrimp. Sarah said she’s never had one before but she really liked it.\r\nFor dessert, Julian brought out his wife’s key lime pie. The unique recipe had a tart, cleansing flavor and was topped with shaved lime. Customers can also pick up Lin’s homemade pies to go.\r\nSpotted by the Lunch Bunch was\r\nMr. Richard Gray, owner of Grayco, located in the same shopping center. He told us the barbecue sandwich is his favorite, and they also have the best steaks in town.\r\nJulian confirmed this sentiment when he said that steaks are their best-selling item. He also said they cook ribs and chicken outside on Saturday mornings and start selling them at 11:30. He warned to get there early because the food is usually all gone within an hour and a half — it’s that popular.\r\nIslands Meat Market is located at 136-A, Sea Island Parkway, on Lady’s Island.

The $150,000 gift made it possible for us to move ahead with the plan to purchase and renovate the existing building. While we will have a mortgage, it will be less than we currently pay in rent,” said Susan Cato, CAPA Executive Director.\r\nThe community is hard at work to turn the building into a retail space for CAPA’s Closet Thrift Store. Bartlett Tree Experts, formerly Preservation Tree Care, spent most of the day on Wednesday, October 26, clearing out the back yard of the future home of CAPA’s Closet. The crew worked hard to remove dead or drooping trees and vines and prune the rest. The crew at Bartlett donated their time and talents and helped CAPA make the first visible improvements to the newly purchased space.\r\n“Preservation Tree Care always enjoyed helping the community,” said Michael Murphy, former owner of Preservation Tree Care and current manager of Bartlett Tree Experts. “Now that we are Bartlett Tree Experts, we hope to continue to help make a difference in our local community.”\r\nCAPA’s Closet Thrift Store first opened its doors in 1995 and relies 100% on community donations and volunteers. Every dollar earned from CAPA’s Closet helps pay for the many child abuse prevention and intervention programs offered by CAPA including school-based safety and character development education programs for children, parent education and support groups, and CAPA’s Open Arms Shelter for Abused and Neglected Children.\r\nCAPA will remain in its current location next to Bi-Lo on Parris Island Gateway until the new building is ready.

Sometimes the stars seem to scoop down so low into our troposphere that you feel you can just reach out and touch them, but you know if you altered one thing it would be missing from creation.\r\nSecond, is the beauty of the land, especially on St. Helena Island. It cannot be compared to any place I have visited in my lifetime. The wonder of it and its beauty can only be compared to heaven in my eyes.\r\nThird, is the language. I know how it began and why: survival. This language sends my heart and my head to a peaceful place. It helps me to know that my survival was necessary.

Over its 23-year history, the auction has helped raise more than $573,500 for CAPA.\r\n“For over 24 years, the Exchange Club of Beaufort has been a strong advocate for child abuse prevention in our community,” said Susan Cato, executive director of CAPA. “We have seen an increase in the need for services and the funds raised from the Auction allow us to continue to provide the needed educational and support programs for the children, parents and families in our community.”\r\nCAPA’s Open Arms Shelter for Abused and Neglected Children accepts placements from Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Allendale and Colleton Counties. The shelter provides a safe haven and emotional support to children in their greatest hours of need. Since opening the shelter’s doors in 1985, over 2,000 children, from birth to 21 years old, have resided in the shelter. CAPA also offers outreach programs at low or no cost to the community. These programs include character building classes for children and youth, parenting classes and support groups, and teen pregnancy prevention education. Local teachers, youth workers and others who come in contact with children through their line of work receive training from CAPA on how to identify and report abuse.\r\nThe event boasts more than 150 donated items for both live and silent auctions. The items include handcrafted tables and original oils and watercolors painted by local artists and admission to Ace Basin Tours, Chimney Rock, Jacksonville Zoo, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, Carolina State Museum, Carolina Opry, Asheville Art Museum, an Annual Park Passport to all state parks and tickets to Disney World.\r\nJoin us for an “evening of hope for the children.” Dress is casual.

She has worked for, or volunteered at a variety of organizations that are cherished locally, or nationally known: Boys &amp; Girls Club, CAPA, Healthy Families of America, CODA, Coastal Empire Mental Health, and lastly, prior to coming to work for Therapeutic Solutions, our local school district as a parent dducator for teen moms.\r\nDanette wrote for Lowcountry Weekly in the summer of 2005, while fulfilling a Natural Housing Apprenticeship in California. She reports that every morning she woke to the sound of the seals, and every day involved a shovel. In 2010, she spent three weeks in Australia, and plans a backpack tour through Europe in the fall of 2012. She is the kind of person who ardently sings along with Van Morrison, “Fight mediocrity every day.”\r\nWith Danette’s very extensive background of working with individuals on so many levels, O’Regan is “thrilled to welcome Danette to the wellness team. As Wellness Co-coordinator, she will meet with each new practice member for the initial consultation and evaluation, utilizing our state-of-the art Insight technology and/or Creating Wellness assessment. She will then help determine the best course of action based on health and wellness goals. Whether it be for pain relief, stress management, weight loss, disease management/prevention, or just getting ‘unstuck’ in a current situation (relationships, careers, finances, etc.), Danette will create a personalized program utilizing the various practitioners and modalities offered. Through her relationship with the practice member, she will assist, as needed, with education and accountability to stay on track.\r\nIn addition to her roles as Wellness Co-coordinator, coach, art therapist, she will serve as the liaison that bridges our various practitioners and unique services to the very diverse populations in our community. Much of what we offer can be shared in classes and group settings so our intention is to become a stronger presence to those seeking balance in their health and well being.”\r\nAs Danette voiced in her first week of training, “I had no idea that you offer so much in this little building.” Therapeutic Solutions wants more folks to have access to the simple tools and concepts to those served each day and believes Danette is the perfect conduit.\r\nThey strongly believe that each and every person can improve some or all areas of their life, just by saying “Yes” to themselves and choosing to do, see and feel things a little differently, which physically changes neural pathways in the brain.\r\nAs Danette has recently experienced and shares, “Serendipity always leads the way — if you let it. And so my start at Therapeutic Solutions came about through a seemingly random phone call. I simply had to say ‘Yes’ to the opportunity to be ‘here’, where the focus is always on wellness ... in all aspects of the human experience. As a new employee, I have naturally tried many of the wellness modalities and have been thrilled with the results. Clouds have cleared in my thinking and I have been refreshed emotionally by the work of B.E.S.T., the neuro-alignment service that we offer — I literally feel happier.

If you think there will be funds available from the Federal Government to rebuild your home, business and jobs ... think again.\r\nSince 2003, the federal disaster-relief fund has been depleted six times stopping thousands of reconstruction projects.  In late August, FEMA’s cash supply fell to such a low level  that the agency suspended $550 million in funding for thousands of long term recovery projects nationwide.  Those projects included rebuilding parts of Katrina-ravaged Louisiana and in areas of Miami still recovering from a Nov 2000 storm. We can expect that FEMA will make every effort to tighten up the criteria for qualifying for disaster aid.  In other words, expect money that is not available to be even harder to get.\r\nAre you willing to put your life on hold for a promise that the Federal Government  will help you out?\r\nWhy?  With proper planning and a visit with your insurance agent you can insure yourself against loss or at the very minimum, keep the recovery expense to a reasonable and predictable amount.\r\nHere are questions you should be asking your agent:\r\n1. Does my homeowners/renter’s policy include windstorm damage?  Earthquake damage?  Replacement cost coverage on the building and contents?  Cost to bring my home up to the current building codes? How about the expense to live elsewhere while my house is being rebuilt?\r\n2. Are the limits of my coverage equal to the replacement cost of my home?  How can I reduce the cost of insurance?  Will a higher deductible be acceptable?\r\n3. If my policy does not include windstorm coverage, what will it cost to buy coverage?\r\n4. What is the cost of flood insurance?\r\n5. What is the financial standing of my insurance carrier?  Is my company an admitted company in SC?  What does that mean and how does it affect me and my ability to collect under my policy?\r\n6. Who do I report claims to?\r\n7. What coverages do I need for high value personal items like jewelry, collectables, art and antiques. What about my boat? My car? My Life? My health?

Everyone is different though and there are about as many reasons why kids love them as there are reasons we should introduce children to the wonderful world of horses.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Sports-Equestrian.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4027\" title=\"Sports-Equestrian\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Sports-Equestrian-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>My (few) non-horsey friends think horses are expensive and quite frankly unnecessary. They are expensive, that is true but unnecessary? I think NOT.\r\nHorseback riding is an active sport. It gets kids outside in the fresh air and in tune with nature, something that happens far too little in this “techy” world we live in.  Riding also improves balance, coordination and posture, and as a child progresses they develop confidence and a sense of accomplishment.\r\nRiding can also be a wonderful bridge for those who might typically avoid team sports and activities. With such organizations as 4-H, local and national pony clubs and events associated with youth riding, children are encouraged to participate in group lessons and to join these various clubs. However, finding the perfect instructor and barn is not easy, but it is a must for a successful horse experience.\r\nA good instructor will help your child build her confidence while not only learning to ride but learning life lessons about patience, clarity and building partnerships. Instructors walk a fine line of empowering students to ride with confidence without being reckless. Here are some suggestions on finding that perfect match.\r\n1. Ask everyone you know and certainly friends currently riding at a barn.\r\n2. Call your local veterinarian. They can be a great resource.\r\n3 Take your time and ask questions. For example, how many kids ride at this barn?  What are the ages? Are the lessons group or private? Do you have size appropriate horses/ponies? (Your 8 year old should not be riding a 16 hand horse). Then schedule a time to go out and simply observe a lesson. Any reputable instructor would love to have you audit a session.\r\n4. If you and your child like with you see then schedule an introductory lesson with the instructor.\r\n5. If you have made it this far then your child should be will on their way to an exciting new equestrian world.\r\nWith the holidays upon us, it’s a great time to start your child in a lesson program.  What could be better than waking up to a stocking stuffed with a gift certificate for riding lessons? Well, maybe a pony, but let’s start slow.\r\n\r\nThe Mane Events\r\n\r\n• Polo at the Point: November 5, starts at 1 p.m.\r\nAt the Limehouse Polo Field in Walterboro, $10 for general admission, 7201 N.

Bullying can be physical or psychological intimidation, from hitting and stealing to spreading rumors, teasing or social exclusion. Cyberbullies can make their identities and make attacks 24/7 via computers, cell phones or other electronic devices. “Parents, you play a key role in whether or not your child becomes a bully,” said Principal Morillo.  “Parents who have a good relationship and talk openly with their child, raise children who are less likely to bully others.” Kids need a positive adult attitude to follow as an example. If you or your child is bullied, remember you have school counselors, social workers, nurses, administrators and teachers to talk to.\r\nSchool briefs are compiled by Tess Malijenovsky.

It’s either good or bad and we’ve all got to choose a side.\r\nHanging out with girlfriends or talking to a loved one doesn’t seem to weigh heavily on the ease of comfort in pointing out the fact that a tic-tac is needed or that an individual smells as if they literally bathed in their cologne.  Yet, when it comes to informing a less than familiar target, such as a co-worker or maybe even the boss, the level of ease drops insistently low. Most times, leaving both the target and the well-intentioned informant in a position of discomfort and uncertainty that could possibly lead to resentment. Resentment may lead to discussing the issue with others and discussing the issue with others could lead to undesirable gossip.  Gossip, in no way, shape or form is ever attractive or appropriate, nonetheless, with the entire office now  involved in the knowledge of the target’s less-than-appealing state, the matter at hand is still not resolved.\r\nSo, how does one approach the issue of bad hygiene habits? Depending upon the situation and the individual, is it anyone’s place to do so? Then, in all fairness, when placed in a public setting or any role that offers involvement with others, should a person not be owed the right to speak up or inform one of such hygienic violations? Take, for instance, a beauty industry consultant. Working directly with the public in a position that is viewed as marketing oneself, it would make absolutely no sense at all to have a bad hair day, damaged, dirty fingernails, bad breath and tattered clothing. A proper and managed image is expected, of course, because one can’t sell beauty if they are not beauty. So, again, I ask, what about any other industry or setting that involves close confinement or interaction amongst others?\r\nHow do you address  informing others of personal hygiene issues, what is your approach and in what manner?\r\nVisit my beauty blog at www.blb-boutiques.com and post your comments.', 'Why is personal hygiene so impersonal?

It is the ultimate balance of all things. The great equalizer, that makes otherwise unfair, unimaginable, or unexplainable gifts and/or pains tolerable.\r\nLiving in beautiful Beaufort by the Sea is no different. We have glorious sunsets accompanied by nerve- wrecking no-see-ums. It simply would be inconceivable to have such beauty, peace, and solace without occasional bouts of “$%@! Hand me the bug spray.” We have festivals that bring families and friends closer while placing discernible distance between what is right, and what is fun. Our tides remind of us the ever cleansing power of change, and the poignant fact that not everyone should drive a boat. The gift of serenity is doted on each of us as we begin our daily travel. Our commute is graced with views of sailboats slowly, very slowly — at times excruciatingly slow — making their way through the one bridge we should have crossed 20 minutes ago.\r\nAs seasons change, our days shorten as our sleeves lengthen. Hesitantly, we say farewell to flip flops and hello to fleece. Winter isn’t our choice, but we understand why it must come. The holiday gatherings, and pumpkin flavored everything will somehow lessen the sting of change. Our quaint streets fill with holiday visitors who envy our permanency in paradise. In order to maintain the globally excepted  impossibility of perfection, we do have one thing that somehow justifies an otherwise splendid existence.\r\nRoses have thorns, puppies have incredibly small bladders, and Beaufort South Carolina has the infamous Crud. Anyone who has lived in Beaufort for any amount of time can sympathize almost as quickly as they can offer you 235 home remedies. As the cool winds blow, so shall our noses. We leave our summer-drenched sandbar and congregate around the ever compassionate Walgreens cashier. Like well-trained cattle, we move in sync from decongestant to cough suppressant sharing empathetic glances through itchy red eyes.\r\nProduction takes a bit of a hit, as Nyquil sales rise. Once peppy, sun-kissed patrons searched for sunblock and socializing now seek the comfort of Sudafed and Snuggies. Most anything can be excused and or justified by the onset of the Beaufort Crud. Full conversations can be had with no recollection as the little drummer boy plays on in your left ear. Required coffee shop small talk can be waived by the gesture of patting ones chest after a signature cough. Summer diets are surrendered to anything that activates the dulled taste buds and calms the throbbing throat. The sweet scent of suntan oil is replaced with Vicks vapor rub and anything menthol.\r\nIt is only fair that Beautiful Beaufort by The Sea share domicile with the infamous Crud. It would be impossible to justify living anywhere else if we didn’t suffer a little. It builds character, it builds humility, and it builds up in your chest like an inner city high rise. There will forever be debate over the source of this unwanted ailment. Some say it is the Spanish moss, others say our trees are to blame, yet the answer seems quite clear to me.

Lanny Kraus for successfully leading the first Casting for Recovery Coastal South Carolina Retreat at Bray’s Island this past weekend. This was the first time a Casting for Recovery Retreat was held in the state since the national program was founded 15 years ago. It involved 14 women who are survivors of breast cancer in a two and a half day retreat to help them heal, both physically and spiritually.\r\nThe casting motion provides a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue stretching. Fly fishing provides stress-relief and promotes a sense of calm, while the social interactions offer women a chance to share, laugh and rejuvenate.\r\nThe program combines counseling, medical information and fly fishing to build a focus on wellness and empowerment instead of illness. The two-and-a-half day retreats are offered at no cost to women at any stage and age of breast cancer treatment and recovery. Casting for Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.\r\nSpecial thanks goes to the volunteer staff for the Casting for Recovery weekend: Marsha Graham, Starr Nolan, Simons Welter, Connie Duke, Cemo McConnell, Caroline Hassell, Sara Manucy, Linda Good, Martha Weeks, Sarah Galloway, Sherri Hightower and Audrey Graham.\r\nThe names of the fishing helpers for Sunday were Bryan Bowers, Jack Baggette, Lanny Kraus, Allan Crowther, Eric Brown, Alan Dechovitz, Steve Weeks, Scott Davis, Paul Puckett, Sarah Hyle, along with Bray’s Island staff members.\r\nSpecial thanks to Perry Harvey, a Bray’s Island member and Yasmin McClenahan of Bray’s Island Realty who helped make this event possible.\r\nCasting for Recovery Coastal SC is grateful to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Bray’s Island Realty, The Charleston Angler, Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Mountain Bridge Trout Unlimited, Maritime Events, Bay Street Outfitters, Saluda River Trout Unlimited, Coastal Community Foundation, Amanda McLenon and many individuals and organizations for their generous support for the Bray’s Island Retreat.\r\nFor more information, donations or to apply for a retreat, please contact Marsha Graham, Coastal SC Program Coordinator, Casting for Recovery at 843-856-9477 or 843-860-0475, marsha@mgaccountingsupport.com, or visit www.castingforrecovery.org', 'First Casting for Recovery in South Carolina a success', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'first-casting-for-recovery-in-south-carolina-a-success', '', '', '2011-11-03 07:19:07', '2011-11-03 11:19:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4049', 0, 'post', '', 0),

She won a Paterson Prize for “What I Would do for Love,” and The Bordighera Poetry Prize for “Water on the Sun.” She received the inaugural Columbia Merit Award for “significant contributions to poetry.” She writes full-time in Annapolis, Maryland where she lives with her husband, sculptor Kenneth Flynn.\r\nHere, Cavalieri talks about her play:\r\nWhat do you look forward to in this production of Quilting the Sun?\r\nI’m interested to see if the slave narrative materials I used as the basis  for the narrator (JUJU Man) are received well by the audience. I also hope to know if the script is comprehensible as it’s somewhat pointillistic, not linear, and calls for the audience to cross some invisible bridges of thought. Poets who write for theater are often incorrigible.\r\nWhat aspect of Harriet Powers — the art-quilter and freed slave who lived in Georgia in the 1800s — interests you most?\r\nThe Harriet I invented is the only one I know. And she embodies compassion and strength. I also think she has wry humor. Also I’m very interested in women who have genius and are blocked by the world.\r\nHow do you feel seeing your work on the stage?\r\nI feel grateful and tearful and amazed and humbled that anyone (EVERYONE) would have spent so many hours turning an imagined reality to a stage spectacle. I also know Harriet is watching so that is my way of saying “We get what you did” and “Look what these theater people are doing. You’re alive!”\r\nHave any fun plans for your visit to Beaufort?\r\nI hear it’s beautiful so I want to take in the southern atmosphere. Some of my children are coming and taking a walking tour. I long to have some moments with JW and Jenny Rone who are heart connections. I’m also taking a detour to Sun City to see my 94 year old uncle and his 100 year old girlfriend.\r\nHow do you know J.W. Rone? (Rone is also the executive director of ARTworks.)\r\nJ.W. is a personal hero to me. I knew of his work in Baltimore at the now famed Theater Project. Then I moved to West Virginia in 1988 so my sculptor husband could have more land for a studio, and J.W. was Artistic Director for the theater activities in Berkeley Springs, near where I lived. When the iconic “Ice House” theater was completed, he premiered a staged reading of my play, “Pinecrest Rest Haven.” He’s a force of nature and we don’t see courage like his very often.\r\nAll tickets to ARTworks theater performances are $17 per person, $12 for students (13+), $7 for children (12 and under) and $12 for groups of 10 or more.

After Sharon and Trevor met on a guided nature hike, they fell in love and married in the tiny remote village of Umtata.\r\nSharon eventually had to return to the United States and Trevor was apprehensive at first about coming to America because he loved his job in the wilds of Africa. But he found a job as a biologist for the Florida Department of Natural Resources studying redfish in Tampa Bay and began to enjoy the great diversity and outdoors in the U.S.\r\nOn a visit to good friends who lived in Beaufort, they fell in love with the town and the area. They decided to move here and Trevor started and ran a successful fishing guide business for many years while they raised two children, Matthew, who is now 16, and Caroline, 14.\r\nWhat started out as a backyard project to create a wildlife habitat with a pond eventually turned into a thriving business as friends asked Trevor to create similar beautiful ponds and water features for them.  Trevor then went to Acquascape college in Ohio to learn all he could about creating successful water features and they awarded him a Certified Aquascape Contractor degree after he completed his studies and they reviewed several projects he did for clients. This led to his current licensed and insured business: Island Garden Features.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/to-large.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4066\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/to-large-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>Says Trevor, “I specialize in design and construction of low maintenance water features, which brings nature to your home with the soothing sound of waterfalls, fountains and ponds. I also build garden bridges, pergolas and natural flagstone walkways and stone walls. I find that water features can help turn your landscape into something special, providing a focal point and attracting wildlife.”\r\nAnd in case you might be worried that your new water feature will attract bugs, Trevor adds, “Our installed ponds are complete ecosystems with the best filtration to ensure clear water with low maintenance. There are no mosquitoes at all and the water  is continually moving and being filtered 24 hours a day to keep it clear.”\r\nYou can see examples of two ponds that Trevor has done at Grayco in the outside garden department. Both have clean, clear water and a variety of beautiful blooming plants, many growing in the water.\r\nTrevor has done water features for clients all over Beaufort, Spring Island, Bray’s Island, Bluffton and Hilton Head. And he also does regular follow-up maintenance.\r\nThe cost of fountains can start at $300 and the cost of ponds depends on the size, number of waterfalls and complexity of plantings.

Options include special assessments on utility bills; the city’s partner, SCE&amp;G, allows for such joint ventures between utility and customer through its Non-Standard Service Agreement. Using similar funding from other low-voltage providers is one possible avenue of funding.\r\nSections of the historic Point, nearby Pigeon Point and Mossy Oaks should be the first locations where power poles are removed and cables buried. That’s largely because of the existing tree canopy and number of quality live oaks impacted, Tree Board Chairwoman Barb Farrior said.\r\nThe Tree Board, working with city staff and at the City Council’s direction, began meeting about a year ago to find ways to improve Beaufort’s protection of live oaks and other trees, to improve safety and to stop or reduce the utility companies’ major limb trimming that happens every five years.\r\n“This is an important first step that will help shape our work to come,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said of the recommendations. “Every journey starts with a few steps, and these initial steps are important to set the tone for what will come as we move forward.\r\n“Ultimately, Beaufort will look better, our residents will be better served by lines that aren’t knocked down by falling tree limbs during thunderstorms, and we’ll allow our tree canopy to grow in a more natural way without the hacking that’s required for power line clearance,” he said.\r\nThe City Council gave the first of two required approvals this month to an ordinance that basically requires that, as electrical power lines are relocated and/or moved underground, the low-voltage communications and cable TV lines move with the power lines. The goal: Reduce the number of poles and overhead lines crisscrossing the city.\r\nBeaufort officials are partnering with SCE&amp;G to relocate overhead power lines underground. As that is being done, low-voltage lines that typically carry cable TV and phone signals also should be buried, Dadson said.\r\nWill Saleeby, an engineer with power provider SCE&amp;G, helped the Tree Board. He suggested they concentrate on two-block areas where lines could be easily “looped” once placed underground.\r\n“The Tree  Board scouted the city, neighborhood by neighborhood, evaluating trees as they interfaced with areas of easily looped single phase power lines, the ones that connect houses to the main power lines,” said Eliza Hill, landscape architect for the Beaufort Planning Department.\r\n“The board’s conclusion and recommendations are based on the ease of looping each circuit, the quantity of significant trees, the health of those trees and, of course, cost,” Hill said.\r\nOver the course of the year, the Tree Board met with utility and cable companies on two occasions and members of the Point Bury Beaufort Cables Committee.\r\nEarly projects put the cost of burying overhead lines in two blocks of the Point at about $197,000, including power, cable and phone lines. The area is bordered by Federal, Pinckney, King and East streets.\r\nThe projected cost to relocate lines on two blocks of Pigeon Point — Woodward Avenue, Nairne, Emmons and Pigeon Point Road — is about $379,000. The conversion cost in the recommended area of Mossy Oaks along Langhorne Drive, Duncan Drive and Waverly Way is about $500,000.\r\n“The (Tree) Board will continue to research and evaluate potential funding sources for supplemental financing of this conversion project,” Farrior said, thanking “the concern by Beaufort’s citizens regarding the protection of our urban forest.”', 'Tree Board recommends pilot areas for burying utility lines', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'tree-board-recommends-pilot-areas-for-burying-utility-lines', '', '', '2011-11-03 07:37:42', '2011-11-03 11:37:42', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4081', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The local farm, now passed along three generations, began in the 1950s when Davis Dempsey’s father bought the plot of land and built a house for his family. Davis took over in 1968, continuing the family tradition of running on tomatoes and cucumbers, and the “u-pick” came about a decade later with the 1978 trucker’s strike.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4086\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\" caption=\"Davey Dempsey giving a hayride on Dempsey U-Pick Farms.\"]<a href=\"https://actionclub.site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Davey-giving-hayride-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4086\" title=\"Davey giving hayride\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Davey-giving-hayride-300x273.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\n“We had tomatoes in the field and we couldn’t ship them because the truckers went on strike,” says Davis. He remembers giving his son Davey a small field patch off to the side for growing tomatoes at age 9. “He went down there and sold his first 120 buckets of tomatoes and got them all in one dollar bills. He came back home with a stack of bills, I tell ya’. ”\r\nEver since, customers have made their way to the farm to pick their fresh vegetables and fruits. Just ask Ed Craft of Dawtaw Island who’s been coming to the farm for 11 years. “I love Dempsey — good and good for you,” says Ed. “They have a better selection than anybody else, and of course this double crop is outstanding. I just pine for strawberries coming up in March.”\r\nThe double crop, or second crop, is the fall crop — a variety of winter squashes, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, joi choi Chinese cabbage, eggplants, okra, sweet corn and, of course, pumpkins. This is the Dempsey’s third year growing pumpkins, a challenge most South Carolinian farmers won’t trouble with on account of the disease that plagues the crop.\r\n“Fall is hard,” says the professional. “You have so many things against you in the fall: hot weather, disease, most bugs and worms. You make a fall crop, you’re lucky. You’re real lucky.”\r\nThere’s still time to come out for fresh pickings, but it all depends on the first winter frost, so call ahead.  “You win some, you lose some, that’s farming. The good Lord blesses everything and he controls everything,” says Davis.\r\nYet with 60 plus years of farming experience, the Dempseys manage to harvest a variety of fresh vegetables every three to four days. Davis and son Davey Dempsey say the same thing about their career in farming: “I just didn’t know nothing else to do.”\r\nBut for anyone who has ever managed to grow a plant from a seed, let alone a variety year after year, the miracle of growing is a long education.\r\nThe strawberries are already being planted for the spring. The pumpkin patches are being cleared this November to make way for next year’s watermelons. And come the first winter frost when second crop dies, the farmers will repair their equipment, work the soil and plant cover crops like snap peas and sudan-sorghum grass. Not only does the tall sudan-sorghum grass replenish soil with nutrients, but it also makes up an eight-acre maze for family exploration.\r\n“The maze and hayrides are for the children and families,” says Davey, standing out on the pumpkin patch with Riverview Charter School’s second graders.

(4099, 4, '2011-11-09 19:37:49', '2011-11-10 00:37:49', 'By Tracie Korol\r\n\r\nDogs are body language communicators. While they have limited ability to communicate verbally, real canine language is richly visual, articulate with subtle body movements and very intuitive when it comes to understanding their humans. Dogs try to talk to us, but if we don’t know the subtleties of their language we miss most of what they are trying so say.  This may cause confusion and misunderstanding and may be one of the reasons for behavior problems.\r\nPeople tend to get into trouble when we approach other species as we would humans, face-to-face, making full eye contact; we often hug, putting our faces together, often kissing the cheek in greeting. To a dog this is a threatening gesture and it is deemed inappropriate and rude. Dogs tend to greet obliquely; the dog that puts its chin or paws over another dog’s shoulders in greeting is probably making a statement about his rank which may elicit an aggressive response. This is why dogs tend to bite kids (or adults) who hug them. A hug triggers a “Threat! Fight or flight” response. If the dog can’t run (because he’s being hugged), he may bite.  Dogs can, of course, be trained to accept a hug graciously, but unless you’re sure of your hug-ee, it’s best to forego such intimate behavior.\r\nHumans make direct eye contact when greeting.  Those who do not are often thought of as shifty, dishonest or disrespectful.  In Dogville, direct eye contact can be perceived as a threat or assertion of dominance.   In a healthy greeting one dog will look away, an act of submission, or they will glare eye to eye and a dogfight may follow.  This is one reason why children are often on the receiving end of dog bites. Kids tend to stare at dogs and the more peculiar the dog behaves, the more the child stares.  This happens to adults, too. Best to look at a spot on the horizon over their shoulder for the first few seconds.\r\nPeople will also square up and face each other in conversation. If the conversation doesn’t go well, one or the other will begin to get louder to emphasize his point.  In older dog training methods we were taught to stand in front of our dogs, arms at our sides, and yell, “come!” in a commanding tone. We called louder and more stridently if our dogs did not respond.  Dogs view full-frontal communication, especially when yelling is involved, as a threat. (So do people, for that matter.) Now we understand that the “come!” is much more successful when we take a warm and welcoming stance and call his name in a joyful tone of voice.\r\nHumans like to bend over a dog to pat them on the top of the head or cuddle them.  With all good intentions, we are unwittingly presenting a posture of intimidation. After decades of working with dogs, I am still guilty of this one especially if the dog is uber-cute or interesting to me. Dogs don’t like “hovering”.  Remember how it felt when your fifth grade teacher hung over your shoulder in math class? Dogs will back away in fear or submission, step back and bark maniacally or worse, become aggressive and snap.\r\n\r\nOften clients will tell me that they’ve “done the Alpha roll” on their dog and that the dog behaves better for it.  In Dogville, dogs view the Alpha roll as a violent, terrifying attack.  If he seems to behave “better” afterwards, it’s more likely that he’s simply scared to death you might do it again.  Relationship-building is more successful if fear and intimidation are not part of the package. Most dog language is very subtle and nuanced. The “belly-up” position is usually offered voluntarily and not because the other is an outright bully.\r\nWe need to watch and learn from our dogs. With practice we will find ourselves more able to communicate in a more enriched and sophisticated vocabulary. Plus, it’s fun to learn a new language.\r\nNext week: What does it mean when he does that?', 'What are they really saying?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-are-they-really-saying', '', '', '2011-11-09 19:37:49', '2011-11-10 00:37:49', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4099', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Definitely not my norm, but, at least, I can pat myself on the back for not being too rigid.  So many of us jump to the conclusion that German wines are sweet.  Many of them are, but, in fact, German wines run from very sweet to very dry.  Not only is this sweet perception a strike “against” them in our minds, they also tend to have lower levels of alcohol.  And who wants that?\r\nGerman wines are primarily produced in the west of the country, along the Rhine River and its tributaries. The oldest wine-producing estates date back to the Roman era. The total vineyard area in Germany, though, is only about one tenth of the vineyard area in Spain, France or Italy. The total wine production is about 1.2 billion bottles per year, making Germany the eighth largest wine-producing country in the world.\r\nThe wines from Germany are primarily made from Riesling. This grape at its best makes aromatic, fruity and elegant wines. The white grape variety originated in the Rhine region. In addition to its aromatic quality, Riesling displays a flowery almost perfumy bouquet as well as high acidity.  In terms of importance to the world wine business, it is usually included in the top three white varieties, after Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling as a variety is highly “terroir-expressive.” (That means its wines reflect the soil where the grapes are grown.)   For German Riesling wines, a characteristic balance between fruit and mineral flavors is the style. The grape is rarely blended with other varieties, almost never exposed to commercial yeast for its fermentation and (usually) never given any oak aging.  The sugar levels of the grapes at harvest are very important because that is what determines the dryness in the finished wine.  The wine makers are very aware of the balance of acidity — partly the green tasting malic acid (granny smith apples) and the more citrus tasting (lemon) tartaric acid. In cooler growing years, the harvest may be delayed until November to reach the desired balance between these two.  (None of this comes easy, you know.)\r\nFor our wine this week, we go to the Mosel River area. This river flows through the heart of Europe.  Temperatures here aren’t too cold but conditions at the northern 50 degree latitude make the Mosel the most northern area for top quality grape vine growing.   Viticulture has been present on the Mosel since the ancient Romans brought cultivated vines about two millennia ago. The unique geology and climate of the area plus the cool continental climate from  Atlantic Ocean influences coming over the mountains make great grapes the norm. Our wine comes from a town called Leiwen in this area. With about 1,112 acres of vines, Leiwen is one of the largest wine villages in the Mosel region.  The Weis family has owned the land for our wine for centuries.  The grandfather of the current owner, Nik, founded the winery in 1947.  In the early years, he built cellars and winery buildings on the hill of Leiwen’s outskirts. He named his estate for the patron saint of German winemakers, St. Urban Hof (“Hof” means “estate” in German.)  In the 1960’s, his son, Hermann, took over running the operations.  During this time, the nursery grew to become one of Germany’s largest. Hermann also was interested in expansion and, in 1989, he bought some of the Mosel and Saar’s (another tributary of the Rhine River) top sites in several nearby villages.\r\nIn 1997, his son, Nik, came into the family business. He is the one responsible for the lovely wine we’re going to have this week.  (At the bottom of the front label, the phrase “Nik Weis Selection” says so.)\r\nFor our wine, Nik has sourced the best quality grapes from neighboring vineyards.  Just like he is a blend of his family’s traditions and modern life, this wine is a combination of traditional roots and 21 century tastes. Starting with the bottle, it is neither green nor brown, the two traditional German wine bottle colors.  It is tall and thin, but no cork — it too has a screw top, like so many more bottles every day.  And the wine? Urban Riesling — a nice simple name to remember.  It shows brilliant fruit and Mosel-slate mineral flavors, lively acidity and ripe floral aromas.  If anything, this Riesling leans more to the dry side, with lemon zest notes and a crispness in your mouth that keeps you sipping and sipping.  The extra long finish is like a lingering reminder of what your mouth just tasted.\r\nAt $10.99, we can all enjoy this wine often. And, let’s not forget, Riesling and Thanksgiving dinner always work well together. Try it then, try it now, try it often. Then we’ll all be able to pat ourselves on the back!  Enjoy!', 'Falling for a German Riesling', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'falling-for-a-german-riesling', '', '', '2011-11-09 19:40:34', '2011-11-10 00:40:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4104', 0, 'post', '', 0);

We are now in 21A. The center had wanted a larger building for some time as its grown in services, volunteers and staff. They held a capital campaign and in a matter of three weeks, they were blessed to raise $25,000 which paid a portion of the down payment, and closed on Sept. 28. We actually own the whole building (21A &amp; B) but Fountain of Life Ministry will continue to rent 21B for a year. At that time, the center plans to expand and occupy both sides. The capital campaign continues to help with the shortage on the down payment and fulfill the goal to pay off the mortgage and eliminate the debt altogether.  Additionally, the center will be looking for volunteer painters, framers, electricians and finishers to help with remodeling.\r\nThe annual  Walk for Life  will be held at the new location Saturday, November 19. Registration begins at 8:30 and the walk will begin promptly at 9 am.  It’s very easy to get involved — a route that is only 2 miles. Walkers and sponsors are still needed for this event. It’s so easy — they can walk, run, rollerblade, stroll a baby, ride in a wheel chair, skip or hop.\r\nThe Beaufort Women’s Center is a faith-based, pregnancy help medical clinic that offers a comprehensive, practical and life-affirming response to women or teens facing an unplanned pregnancy. All funds raised will be used to support the Beaufort Women’s Center so they can continue offering free and confidential services.\r\nThe walk is a an opportunity to increase awareness in the community and to raise funds  to support our ongoing ministry to women from all walks of life.\r\nFor more information, call 525-0300 and ask for Jo or Donna.', 'Beaufort Women’s Center has new location', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-women%e2%80%99s-center-has-new-location', '', '', '2011-11-09 19:45:45', '2011-11-10 00:45:45', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4113', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The kick-off party signified the debut of fundraising for the next Relay for Life event to come Friday, April 27, at Beaufort Middle School.\r\nFor those unfamiliar with Relay for Life, it’s an overnight relay-style event in which team members take turns walking around a track over night to symbolize how cancer never sleeps. The family-friendly community event is one special night to remember those lost to cancer, support those facing cancer and raise money for the American Cancer Society so that one day cancer can be eliminated.\r\n“What people need to understand is that this research is for our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren. The cancer’s here, but we want to find a cure,” says Linda Arp, chairperson of Northern Beaufort County Relay for Life and the founder of the local woman support group, Beaufort Belles.\r\nThe race traditionally begins with the Survivor Lap, in which cancer survivors are invited to circle the track in recognition and celebration of the strides made in curing cancer. At night there is a luminaria ceremony to remember loved ones lost with a touching display of decorated candlelit sandbags. Throughout the night members can partake in any of the numerous activities, crafts and games going on at the different team tents. Finally, the relay ends in the morning with a Fight Back personal commitment, whether it’s seeking regular screening tests, quitting smoking or signing up for a Relay team for the following year.\r\nThe “teams” are families, business groups or organizations with as many or few members that want to sign up. Each team sets a personal fundraising goal and can raise money anyway it chooses. There are hundreds of creative ways to help raise money for the cause including contests, business competitions, buying luminary bags for $10, becoming a sponsor on the event T-shirts or signs by making a donation, glamour shots, bowling and fishing tournaments, auctions, bake offs, you name it!\r\nDana Aiken helped Gilligan’s restaurant raised $3,000 last year by having volunteers wait tables for a night and donate their tips. In fact, this year, Gilligan’s restaurant (2601 Boundary Street) is challenging all other restaurants in Beaufort to join the cause and see who can raise the most money.\r\nAiken isn’t the only one making a challenge in Beaufort County; Mary Gwen Boyett, a community representative of the American Cancer Society, is also challenging Bluffton and Hilton Head to try and beat Beaufort’s 71 percent increase record.

Part of what makes the holiday season so much fun is the dinner parties and get togethers that we attend and throw.\r\nWow your guests with eye-catching centerpieces and elegant place settings this season. For a sophisticated and glitzy but balanced look that won’t be too over the top, make sure to stick with nature’s natural elements. For example, fresh fruits, slender branches and berries combined with fall florals can look fabulous and will garner a lot of ohhhs and ahhhs from your guests.\r\nThis season, look for metallics to add a touch of modern to your tablescape.  Coppers and bronze are a lovely addition to any traditional table to give it pop.  Keep in mind textured elements like seed-beaded placemats, bamboo napkin rings, lace inspired table covers with jewel toned table runners, colorful glazed pots and vintage glassware and plates.  Complete the look with an amazing fresh bloom terrarium.\r\nHere are a few ideas to get started:\r\n1. Use pinecones. Dress up a simple table setting by gathering pinecones from your yard and lightly spraying them with glitter. Then, use your glue-gun and glue pearls onto the pinecone giving it a studded look. (Instead of glitter spray, you could also whitewash the pinecone.) Attach each guest’s name tag to the finished pinecone with wool and set on top of a folded linen napkin, then set on plates.\r\n2. Use rustic elements. Incorporate wool, knits, fabrics, fresh greenery from your yard and woodsy textures.\r\n3. Cast a glow with candles. Flickering candles and votives look amazing when surrounding any centerpiece, especially when the lights dim for your dinner party. Make sure to stagger the heights of the pillars and don’t be afraid to use different sizes, widths and colors.\r\n4) Mini pumpkins and gourds with fresh fruits and veggies bring an organic feel and look stunning on a table.\r\nThis week, we are going to learn how to fashion a beautiful centerpiece with branches, twigs fresh greenery and flowers. You will need a shallow waterproof tray, (Look for something that is unique and has character), two bricks of oasis, your waterproof oasis tape, some fall colored pillar candles, plenty of branches, pinecones and berries from your yard (try eucalyptus, cedar and pepperberry) and last, but not least, your favorite fall inspired flowers. I used black magic roses and chartreuse spider mums. We want the centerpiece to be low and long rather than high, making it conversation-friendly for your guests who are sitting at the table.  I like the spider mums for their fluffy, airy look. If you do not want to use the spider mums, hydrangea or viburnum will give you a similar look.\r\nFill the tray with water and place the pillar in the middle. Take your pre-soaked oasis blocks and tape on either side of the pillar. Tape with the waterproof tape so that the blocks are secure. Using your longest branches first, start inserting from the bottom and go up finishing with the smaller branches. Make sure to integrate all the different types of branches you have collected to give the centerpiece texture and depth. Start adding your greenery and insert in similar fashion as you did the branches and twigs. Now, add your roses and mums distributing them in an even fashion. Finish the look by draping the berries over the sides of the arrangement. Surround the centerpiece with mini votive candles in matching fall colors.

(4130, 4, '2011-11-09 20:18:00', '2011-11-10 01:18:00', 'By Jack Sparacino\r\nOne of the first things we liked about our new home in the Lowcountry was its dock which sits on a tidal creek.  Right away, we noticed hundreds of mud minnows swimming in the shallow water. My first thought was “hmm, minnows around our dock.”  My second thought was, “hey, BAIT!”  And lo and behold, I’ve been catching fish down here ever since using those minnows.  Trout, redfish, flounder, croaker, bluefish, ladyfish, sharks, rays, even the occasional whiting.  Plenty for Jane and I and our friends, many of whom would otherwise not have much access to fish for dinner that were caught the same day.\r\nNow as effective a bait as live minnows are, I’ve always preferred using artificials — and these work extremely well in Lowcountry waters.  They have other advantages, too — you don’t have to chase around for bait or be concerned about keeping it alive or fresh in the freezer, and lots of times you feel the fish’s strike harder and more directly.  But that’s a subject for another day.\r\nBack to live minnows.  They really have only one serious competitor for live bait when in-shore fishing here, and that’s shrimp.  Just about everything that swims will eat shrimp and they are excellent bait.  This includes the best game fish you can catch readily in very shallow water — sea trout, redfish and flounder — but also lots of fish you may not want to bother with.  We’re talking bait stealers such as pinfish and small grunts.  So be prepared when fishing with shrimp to take along dozens of them and be ready to lose lots of them.  They are relatively fragile and just won’t stay on the hook very long if almost anything with an appetite is swimming nearby.\r\nSo minnows have some advantages as bait in local waters.  Here are my top “de-baiting” points.\r\n1. They are extremely plentiful, easy and nearly cost free to trap.  They will eat almost any protein (I like using fish skins best) or even stale bread.\r\n2. You don’t necessarily need any other tackle except for a rod, reel, line and hook.  A small split shot (bullet) sinker is useful if the tide is running more than one knot or so, but when the current is slack or close to it you can often forego the sinker and simply live line your bait.  If you like, you can use a float; the best ones rattle.\r\n3. Minnows are hardy.  They keep well in a bait holder (available at tackle supply or hardware stores for around $10) and stay active on the hook better than shrimp.  It’s not a big deal to catch a second nice fish on the same minnow you started with as they often come back in one piece.\r\n4. They really work like crazy.  I caught my first seatrout over 20 inches (and my second, third, and fourth) on minnows.  Also large (too big to keep) redfish and beautiful flounder.\r\nSo next time you want to take a kid or a novice friend fishing and agree that nothing succeeds like success, bring along a pail of live minnows in addition to whatever else you had in mind.  There’s no “debaiting” it, minnows are a great bait here.\r\nIn closing, I’d like to share a favorite and very simple recipe for preparing flounder.  We used this recently on a nice one I caught locally and it was delicious.\r\n1. Gut the flounder, cut off the fins; leave on the head and tail unless the pan is too small to accommodate the whole fish (or you prefer not to look at them).\r\n2. Heat butter with a little olive oil in a large skillet; add spices such as Old Bay to taste.\r\n3. When the skillet is hot, place the fish in with eyes up.\r\n4. Cover pan and cook several minutes, depending on fish size.\r\n5. Turn flounder over with spatula and continue cooking a few minutes until skin is golden brown, adding a little white wine you would normally drink (optional).\r\n6. Place fish on plate and use fork to pull back the skin.  Pour butter/oil mixture from pan over the fish.\r\n7. Serve with lemon wedge and your favorite sides: cole slaw, salad, small red potatoes, etc., and favorite beverage.', 'To bait or not to bait: The great debate', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'to-bait-or-not-to-bait-the-great-debate', '', '', '2011-11-09 20:18:00', '2011-11-10 01:18:00', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4130', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Both grants, which were awarded through the Predominantly Black Institutions Program, are expected to total $3.65 million over the next five years.\r\n“These grants perfectly support the College’s increased emphasis on student success,” TCL President Dr. Tom Leitzel said. “The opportunity to broaden and intensify our impact on student achievement will greatly enhance our ability to help students reach their goals.”\r\nVice President for Student Affairs Dr. Matteel Jones added, “TCL students will be positively impacted by this project and will have extra support in achieving the success that they deserve.”\r\nThe first award is a formula-grant that focuses on improving student success in TCL’s developmental education courses. This five-year grant will enable TCL to establish an on-site and online writing lab and expand its existing math lab. In addition, TCL will design and implement developmental reading, math, and English courses with rolling entry at multiple levels. TCL expects to receive $250,000 per year for five years.\r\nThe second grant was awarded through a competitive grant program and will fund the continuation of project PILAU, which is named for a popular Lowcountry rice dish and is an acronym for Promoting Integrity, Leadership, Academics and cultural Understanding. Under this grant, TCL expects to receive $600,000 per year for the next four years.\r\nPILAU is designed to improve the educational outcomes of African-American males enrolled at TCL by creating a learning community that supports academic success, retention, persistence, and completion outcomes.  The new grant will also fund a learning program to immerse PILAU participants in the fundamental concepts of an entrepreneurial mind-set.\r\nPILAU offers intensive academic interventions to ensure student success in securing an associate’s degree through full-time enrollment at TCL. Participants develop leadership skills, successfully complete courses, enhance self-esteem and pride, and gain a better cultural understanding of Gullah and area communities. PILAU began in 2008 when TCL received a two-year PBI grant totaling $1.1 million.\r\nFor more information, please contact Grants Administrator Pat Irwin at pirwin@tcl.edu or 843.525.8317.', 'TCL receives grants to support African-American students', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'tcl-receives-grants-to-support-african-american-students', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:04:47', '2018-07-12 15:04:47', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4141', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Therein Ferrier noticed the need for pillows for soldiers in combat and asked her friends to help her make 150 pillows to send over.\r\nJohn and Patrick Harris of the local family-owned business Harris Pillow Supply Co. donated the first 150 quality, durable pillows, and soon after the nonprofit program Pillows for Patriots was born.\r\nThere are no administrative costs to the program, which means that 100 percent of all donations are used to either buy pillows or ship them. The program has shipped more than 40,000 pillows to soldiers in combat zones already in its first two years.\r\n“Without the continuous support of Harris Pillow Supply, this program would not be possible,” says Ferrier. “As part of their donation and their very generous support, they make the pillows at their manufacturing cost at $2.50 each.”\r\nFerrier is currently trying to raise $2,550 to send 850 men and women that belong to a Charleston-based, South Carolina guard unit, which would require no shipment cost. She receives pillow shipment requests over the Internet from all over the country and ships 25 pillows at a time to combat troops already in Afghanistan and Iraq, or to units recently deployed.\r\nA simple comfort such as a decent pillow can easily be taken for granted, but it boosts soldier morale and provides a solid break from adrenaline. In a testimonial to the program, Semper Fidelis, Sgt. Maj. Kevin Williamson of the Second Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, said:\r\n“Most of my Marines out here are living under in fairly austere environments and any small comfort item is always welcomed. As important as sleep is, the more comfortable I can make them, the better rested and attentive they will be while on patrol or guard duty.”\r\nTo help this program continue, donations can be made in the form of checks addressed to Pillows for Patriots, 1 Hermitage Pointe Beaufort, SC 29902.

Last week Dennis Dotterer, state coordinator for TAP, told Board members that fifteen of South Carolina’s 58 TAP schools are located in Beaufort—the most of any district in the state—and teachers at eight of those 15 were eligible for performance pay bonuses ranging from $580 to $4,800. The two highest-achieving TAP schools in the state last year were Beaufort Elementary School and Whale Branch Middle School.\r\nTAP is one of the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching’s (NIET) initiatives to provide teachers with opportunities for career advancement, ongoing professional development, a fair evaluation system and performance-based compensation. Its key goal is to develop, reward and retain effective teachers who serve minority and disadvantaged students.\r\n“Teachers at TAP schools can earn higher salaries and advance professionally without leaving the classroom,” Dotterer said. The pay bonuses are based on classroom observations, individual student achievement and school-wide achievement. Another quality of the program is that it measures individual students against their previous test scores. Dotterer said that Whale Branch Middle and Beaufort Elementary, in particular, posted “growth scores that are rarely seen.”\r\nBeaufort and Lady’s Island middle schools introduced TAP in 2002, followed by Whale Branch elementary and middle schools in 2006.  Since then, the program has expanded to include Robert Smalls Middle, Beaufort Elementary, Broad River Elementary, Shell Point Elementary, Battery Creek High, Shanklin Elementary, St. Helena Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary, Port Royal Elementary and Mossy Oaks Elementary.', 'TAP schools improve, teachers eligible for bonus', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'tap-schools-improve-teachers-eligible-for-bonus', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:04:47', '2018-07-12 15:04:47', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4145', 0, 'post', '', 0),

And Kit and Louis Bruce are the epitome of that observation.\r\nKit founded and runs the very successful Port Royal Farmers Market and Louis is a renowned painter of Lowcountry scenes. Together they also founded the Palmetto Brewery in Charleston.  Here’s their story:\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4152\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\" caption=\"Kit and Louis Bruce\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Profile-Brices.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4152\" title=\"Profile-Brices\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Profile-Brices-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nPat Conroy’s latest novel “South of Broad” describes exactly the kind of world Kit grew up in her family’s 18th century home at 60 Meeting Street in Charleston. The graveyards and the Battery were her playground.\r\nLouis’ Southern roots are more midstate (Beech Island, near Augusta) where his great, great, grandfather James Henry Hammond was governor of South Carolina and coined the famous term “Cotton is King” and turned the Citadel into a military academy. Louis, however, was raised outside of the South in Santa Barbara, Ca., and on Long Island because of his father’s work.\r\nA chance meeting between Kit and Louis at the famed “Garden and Gun Club” Disco in 1979 through a mutual friend resulted in a marriage that just reached 30 happy years.\r\nWhen they first married, Kit opened a windsurfing shop with a friend in Mt. Pleasant while Louis started working for her father in his paving and grading business. They had a friend who was a chemical engineer at Milliken who would come with his wife down to Charleston for windsurfing with them which included trips to Maui, Florida, and Hood River, Oregon. It was there in Hood River at Full Sail Brewery, a micro brewery and brew pub — a new concept at the time — that they hatched the idea of starting a brewery in Charleston, to be called The Palmetto Brewery. Says Louis, “I have a degree in biology, worked for a wine importer and knew something about marketing and distribution. My partner was a top notch chemical engineer that worked for Milliken building industrial processes. Kit knew our distributor, Pearlstine, personally. I knew Charleston was the right place at the right time.”\r\nKit and Louis did every job that needed to be done in the beginning. Says Kit, “I designed the Palmetto Brewery logo on the kitchen table, cut and paste, literally, no computer.” By this time, Louis had bought out the paving business from Kit’s father and he sold this to provide the start-up money for the brewery and brew pub.\r\nThey did tastings, rented the space for all sorts of occasions and while Louis promoted the beer, Kit worked the bottling line making boxes and six packs before it was automated. Their chemical engineering partner and fellow windsurfer built the infrastructure of the plant which today, with their combined efforts, has become one of the most successful regional beers in the U.S.\r\nSuccess allowed Kit and Louis to indulge their love of travel and it was on a trip to Florence, Italy, that Louis was inspired by its beautiful light.  He tried to buy a painting in a local gallery and after much run around from the store manager, the artist decided not to sell the painting. (It was his favorite). Louis decided at that moment he would come home and paint the scene himself. That was 500 paintings ago. Says Louis, “I enjoy the freedom, the challenge and the creativity.

What started as a hobby — taking painting lessons while running the brewery — turned into a life-altering passion. He became a silent partner in the brewery business he had founded in order to pursue his love of painting.\r\nIt was on a chance visit to friends in Beaufort that Kit says they fell in love with the area and  saw an uninhabited  “shotgun shack” in Port Royal, that was in disrepair and decided to buy and renovate it, “much to the Realtor’s surprise,” says Kit.\r\nKit’s current occupation is as a grant writer for Friends of Caroline Hospice and founder and manager of the Port Royal farmers market.\r\nLouis has an amazing second story space in the Saltus Building at 802 Bay St., with its original 18th century spiral staircase,  that serves as his working studio and gallery for his iconic Lowcountry marsh landscapes that he paints on location around Beaufort. He describes his occupation now as “founder and co-owner of Palmetto Brewing Co, landscape painter and farmers market flunky.” (He’s the one putting up the tents at 6 a.m.) Adds Kit, “Louis is my boy. We do it all together. Whatever it takes.”\r\nKit’s farmers market has been going for seven years now and has gone from five farmers serving 50 people to 35 vendors serving up to 1,000 customers on Saturday mornings at the Ribaut Road location. Kit started it to find and support local farmers and make good locally grown whole food, including organic, available to her friends and neighbors.  She now sends out a weekly e-blast to thousands of loyal customers.\r\nHowever Kit and Louis Bruce found their way to Beaufort, it’s certainly become to Beaufort’s benefit that they did.\r\nTo get Kit’s weekly farmer’s market updates or to become involved as a seller, please go to portroyalfarmersmarket.com.\r\nTo see and find out more about Louis’ paintings, go to louisbruce.com.', 'Kit and Louis Bruce: Partners in love and life', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'kit-and-louis-bruce-partners-in-love-and-life', '', '', '2011-11-09 20:44:17', '2011-11-10 01:44:17', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4151', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The event is an open house style gathering with light refreshments and interactive healing stations from 4 until 6 p.m. at Church of the Palms located at 1425 Okatie Highway (S.C. 170) in Okatie, South Carolina.

This year we will be adding additional remembrance activities, and have designed the event to be interactive throughout.”\r\nParticipants are encouraged to bring a special remembrance ornament or a symbolic personal item to hang on our Hospice Care of America Christmas tree in remembrance of their loved one. Upon request, all items will be available for pickup post holidays. Those attending in the past have found the gathering to be helpful.\r\n“There is no formula for dealing with grief and loss,” said a Beaufort resident who attended last year.  “You never get over the loss. I would encourage people to attend, at least one time.  I think the gathering is of particular value to those who have had a recent loss.”\r\nThis event is open and free to the community.

All for the sake of beauty, fashion and women, however, it has come to my attention that a good bit of readers following my articles are male.  Surprised, and equally humbled and appreciative as I was to grasp this newfound knowledge, I now embark on a new mission.  Just as Jesus and His disciples spread the word of God, I now vow to spread the beauty gospel amongst all that will hear and receive, both male and female.\r\nDo the words “male” and “beauty” have any business being combined in the same sentence and spoken out of our mouths?  Emphatically, I say, yes, absolutely! Spa tendencies, we will call them, are not just for females. Many flourishing spas and salons cater to pampering our men with services such as facials, manicures, pedicures and waxing. Present day society seems to be so wrapped up in the matter of fact ideals that men who visit the spa or salon for such services must someway, somehow, lack a true manhood.   So, the name “metrosexual” has been given to the brave souls who are not moved by whispers behind the salon chairs and just flat out know that rigid, dirt covered fingernails and hard calloused feet are no way to catch a date at all.\r\nThe term “metro” when referred to a male, is insistent of one that is, in fact, very much secure in whom he is.  The metro male has no qualms or hang ups with walking into a spa, sans his better half, slapping down his charge card and booking a traditionally female dominate spa service.  Affectionately dubbed for it’s common prevalence in urban, city men, the metro male clearly recognizes that his self-preservation is priority and makes no hesitations about it.\r\nAs the industry would have it, I myself make no judgements and welcome many a male client into my facility, in which they are treated fairly, as well as pampered.  Services ranging from facials to threading of the brows, beards and mustache area keep these mighty “metro” males coming back for more.\r\nAre you a metro male or do you feel that the spa is for women only?  Visit my beauty blog and post a comment at www.blb-boutiques.com.', 'The Metro Male: A Manly Must', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-metro-male-a-manly-must', '', '', '2011-11-09 20:54:57', '2011-11-10 01:54:57', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4170', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Whether you are suffering from a painful ankle sprain or a simple headache, these medications can give serious relief and help you speed up the healing process.\r\nIn fact, these medications and treatments are so helpful when we are sick that we don’t even notice the most dangerous, and most overlooked aspect of them — the side effects.\r\nWhile most medications boast relatively non-threatening side effects such as headaches, pains, or nausea, more serious treatments often come with more serious consequences for patients. For example, a new study conducted by researchers from Oregon Health and Science University have found that certain breast cancer medications and treatments may trigger various vision problems in patients.\r\nThroughout the study, researchers looked into the visual and ocular effects of several different medications that were prescribed for three different phases of early-stage breast cancer. These phases included adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy, adjuvant endocrine therapy and symptomatic relief.\r\nAfter following numerous patients who were prescribed with these treatments, and monitoring the overall health of their eyes and vision, it was shown that these various medications prescribed actually had a significant effect on vision and ocular health in several different ways.\r\nThe most common side effect of these treatments came from cytotoxic chemotherapy, a common treatment routine for many people who undergo breast cancer treatments. The side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy was found to cause epiphora and ocular surface irritation in patients.\r\nEpiphora is a vision condition which constitutes insufficient tear film drainage from the eyes, resulting in an overflow of tears that will fall down onto the face rather than through the nasolacrimal system. This vision problem (also known as watering eyes or tearing) can sometimes create difficulty seeing when driving and reading.\r\nThe other side effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy, ocular surface irritation, is the decline of the quantity and/or quality of the tears that our eyes produce, and the increased evaporation of our eyes’ tears. Ocular surface disease often results in symptoms of dry eyes, discomfort, visual disturbances and potential damage to the ocular surface of the cornea.\r\nAnother therapy commonly used in breast cancer treatment is the selective estrogen receptor modulator, tamoxifen. This longtime therapy that is used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer has been shown to increase the risk of posterior subcapsular cataracts.\r\nThis particular type of cataract affects the back of the eye’s lens, starting as a small, opaque area that forms right in the path of light on its way to the retina. This can often interfere with your day-to-day sight, creating blurred vision, glare or halos and interrupting your vision in bright light.\r\nFortunately, most of these vision problems can be properly diagnosed and treated by your eye care professional.  Preservative-free artificial tears and thicker ocular ointments such as Refresh PM can help with dry eye symptoms during and after chemotherapy. Cataracts can be surgically removed. If you have any questions about these eye symptoms or think you may have one of the vision problems described above, be sure to schedule a consultation with your ophthalmologist.

The woman left the scene but a warrant was obtained for her arrest on account of vandalism of property. Now, if she had just stuck to what she came there for (uh, smoking?) there wouldn’t have been said problem. Go to a meeting, girl, it will change your life.\r\n\r\nDEFRAUDING AN INN KEEPER: Relax, incident reports tend to sound a lot more dramatic than they truly are. See what happened was a broke female ate a meal at Applebee’s for $11.32, probably the Asiago peppercorn steak with herb potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Well, see, she ate that meal knowing she couldn’t pay for it and then tried the not-so-old-fashion dine-and-dash maneuver in which one leaves a restaurant without paying.  However, an employee stopped her and held her until officers arrived. Oh snap, that’s embarrassing. She should probably try the $5.99 all-you-can-eat lunch combo.\r\n\r\nURBAN PUNCH: Yes, there exists an Urban Dictionary, and according to the Urban Dictionary, the word “punch” can be used in several dozen urban turn phrases. For example: punch buggy, punch bunny, punch break, punch a giraffe, punch a cranky, punch a grump, punch a kitten, punch the munchkin, et al. (Review the terms at your discretion.) Which, however, could be used to describe the situation last Saturday night at Panini’s in which a male was punched in the side of the head, leaving him knocked out and in the arms of the EMS? How about this description for “punch face”: “1. A reference to the type of face adorning someone who you want/need to punch in the face, with or without justification; 2. A face that immediately makes the person seem like a complete tool and makes you want to punch it.”\r\n\r\nYOU’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE: It’s sad the day has come that Beaufort is no longer a safe place to leave your cars unlocked, un-fearing that someone won’t steal your belongings inside. Two cars were robbed in the same location last Sunday on Church Street. A purse and a GPS were stolen from one unlocked vehicle, and tools and miscellaneous items were taken from another car that was locked, granted, but the widow was down.

When the intoxicated Bonnie tried to get him to stop, Clyde threw her to the pavement. Once he was arrested — for the first three above-mentioned charges — Bonnie began “causing a scene” and was incidentally arrested for Disorderly Conduct.

My fault. I don’t understand how you can promote tourism for your downtown area and not provide free public parking. This is nothing but a money grab run by a private company for the city. Talking with some of the business owners they are not happy with the situation. I’ll never visit your city again and will spread the news. John D Cespedes”\r\n\r\nMy Response on Monday afternoon, November 1:\r\nDear Mr. Cespedes:\r\nThanks for your kind and thoughtful note.\r\nI am glad you had an opportunity to visit beautiful Beaufort and am sorry our value proposition of fine shops, excellent restaurants, our world class waterfront park, the open vistas throughout our city, the ancient moss draped oaks and history whichever way you turn, is not worth giving up a little something.\r\n“Giving a Little Something” has nothing to do with city revenue, since parking revenues are invested — through Main Street Beaufort and our City Redevelopment Commission —  directly into downtown improvements for the people who live here and those who visit and for marketing our special downtown. Fees do not go into the city operations budget.\r\nThe reason Beaufort has had paid parking since the 1930’s is because the merchants asked for it. Unfortunately, it takes parking fees and fines to prevent all day parking by some downtown merchants and their employees who, up until we started the current system, were  dominating parking thereby making it nearly impossible for locals and visitors to find spaces.\r\nThe good news, for the merchants, residents and visitors, is that we can now find spaces to park in the greater downtown area.\r\nIronically, in this sense, it appears that what bothered you actually made parking more available to you and others.\r\nThe City’s Civic Investment Plan calls for a parking deck, with perhaps lower or no fees. But, a $5 million plus investment out of a $14 million annual budget for a city of only 12,000 moderate to low income people, half of whom rent, is not likely in the foreseeable future when the private sector engages as a partner in this lofty ideal.\r\nWhen I recently received a ticket for an expired meter and paid it knowing I too was wrong, I realized that it is not a bad thing because the reason for meters and fines creating better access to downtown stores and restaurants.  We have suggested to the merchants who have complained that they provide parking tokens to their customers and we agreed to work with them on a program to do so whereby they could purchase tokens at a discounted rate. As of yet, none have stepped to the plate.\r\nAnd finally, you should know — notwithstanding the few who are not in the majority — the current system with modifications was developed and recommended by the downtown merchants.  And that using the outside vendor, as opposed to police officers managing parking, saves the city money, and even more importantly ensures police officers remain focused on the public’s greater safety.\r\nAgain, I am glad you came to Beaufort, sorry you got the ticket and hope that once you cool off you will reconsider.  Should that happen and you give me adequate notice, I will be happy to take you to lunch downtown and personally foot your parking tab.  The value is great.\r\nBeaufort is a very special place and we do the best we can, as a small city, to make it even better. We market our city to tourists and those considering relocating to the area because we believe we have something of great value to share. We are grateful that visitors shop, dine and often use overnight accommodations. Some just sit in the park and watch the boats passing. And we are happy to be able to provide the hospitality.\r\nBy chance, when you visited, were you able to see the fantastic Robert Smalls and Beaufort Infantry exhibits at Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Verdier House on Bay Street, attend the nationally acclaimed Gary Sinese Band’s Wounded Warrior Benefit Concert, attend the regionally renowned Shrimp Festival or visit some of the most unique art galleries in the region? Or stop by the Bay Street Outfitters, take one of its renowned guided fly fishing tours, see the Metropolitan Opera or Swan Lake at the USCB Arts Center, partake in the  Historic Beaufort Annual Tour of Homes, attend the some of the many activities at ARTworks, enjoy high tea at the Beaufort Inn or simply take time to sit on a swing and enjoy the southern breezes and vistas from the bluff (no parking fees on the bluff) or the serenity of the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park when you were here? Or did you visit some of our historic homes, churches and graveyards, some of which are centuries old. Or take a class at USCB’s Osher Life Long Learning Center or The Technical College of the Lowcountry. I hope you did not need the services of our exceptional Hospital which, through a partnership with Duke University, has the best heart and cancer care facilities and programs in the Southeast.\r\nI certainly hope you had the time and interest to take in some of our exceptional offerings, meet some of our friendly and welcoming citizens and will, once you cool off, tell others as our community works hard to foster and promote these types of activities for those who live in and visit the best hometown in the world.\r\nThanks for taking the time to visit and to share your thoughts.\r\nBest\r\nBilly K', 'Responding to visitor criticism', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'responding-to-visitor-criticism', '', '', '2011-11-09 21:10:43', '2011-11-10 02:10:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4192', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(4229, 4, '2011-11-17 08:15:51', '2011-11-17 13:15:51', 'By Tracie Korol\r\n\r\nThe Springer girls (B-1 and B-2) came to visit last weekend. Pooh, neighbor dog and perennial concierge of Casa del Tracie, was a little too interested in B-1’s business end in the initial meet-and-greet. Quick as a wink B-1 spun around, stared straight into Pooh’s eyes and rested her forepaw across his shoulders.  There was no mistaking her message: “Think again, pal.” Pooh backed off immediately with his own body language (behind vertical, lowered) that clearly said “Hey, sorry. My mistake.” And from there, Pooh bounced into a classic play bow and a good time ensued with no additional negative exchanges.\r\nEnglish is a second language for our Best Friends. Their first language is body talk, a form of communication that quite clearly says exactly what they mean. Our problem is that we tend to listen with our ears instead of our eyes and miss much of what our dogs are saying.  The more we learn about our dogs’ subtle body language, the better we will be at reading them and intervening, if necessary before our dogs are compelled to resort to growling, snapping or biting.  But here’s the catch — this is a complex language. Various parts of a dog’s body work together to communicate different messages.  You want to be especially aware of the eyes, ears, mouth, tail and the dog’s posture.\r\nFor instance, we all know a wagging tail means a  dog is friendly, right? Not necessarily. Dogs say lots of things with their tails — and not all of them are nice. A dog that is wagging her tail might be happy, interested, or confident, but she also may be scared, confused, or ready for a fight. When you see a dog whose tail is wagging wide and fast, the message is almost always, “Glad to see you!” This is a happy, excited dog. On the other hand, a dog holding her tail loosely but horizontally wants to know a bit more about you. She might not be ready to welcome you with a big lick, but she’s not going to challenge you, either. The same is true of a dog whose tail is wagging slowly. She’s still deciding whether you are a friend or foe. Watch out, though, for a dog whose tail is bristling or is held high and stiff, wagging fast. This dog is agitated and probably means business.\r\nDogs communicate with both ends of their bodies. A cock of the head or twitch of the ears indicates interest or alertness, but sometimes fear. When a dog hears or sees something new or exciting, her ears will go up or forward. Is a dog’s head down and her ears back? She’s scared or submissive. Sometimes, the fur along the neck and back of a frightened or submissive dog will bristle, too. Be especially careful approaching a dog in this mood. She might be timid or shy, but if she feels cornered, she’s capable of launching an attack in self-defense.\r\nWatch your dog’s facial expression for more clues on how she’s feeling. You might even catch her smiling — pulling the corners of her mouth back to show the teeth. Don’t confuse this look with the snarl, a raised upper lip and bared teeth. A snarl is a definite threat gesture, but dogs probably smile for the same reason we do: to let folks — or other dogs — know they don’t mean any harm.\r\nSometimes a dog uses her entire body to deliver her message. Rolling belly-up, exposing her neck and genitals, means, “You’re in charge.” An especially submissive dog may also urinate to express her deference to you or to another dog. The play bow, Pooh’s favorite posture, is the classic canine invitation to fun and games: down on the front paws, rear end in the air, tail wagging. She may even paw the ground or bark in the attempt to lure you or another dog into play.\r\nFor fun, go to www.talkingpets.ca/en/speakdog.aspx for an interactive demo of what our pets are really trying to say.', 'Are you fluent in dog body language?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'are-you-fluent-in-dog-body-language', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:15:51', '2011-11-17 13:15:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4229', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(4231, 4, '2011-11-17 08:17:00', '2011-11-17 13:17:00', 'By Celia Strong\r\n\r\nThanksgiving is a week away.  Not only is this a big holiday for all of us, it is also the beginning of a five-week long season of holiday meals, parties, presents, family and friends, and on and on.  For years now, we’ve all gotten into the habit of enjoying this season with glasses of bubbly.  And, thanks to many food and wine magazines, newspaper articles and television tidbits,  we’ve learned to search out and buy and drink an Italian bubbly  called Prosecco.  Until 2009, we all called the grape that made this wine “Prosecco” as well, but the real name for the grape “Glera” was reinstated.  Very confusing — and this is why.\r\nBefore 2009, Prosecco was the name of the grape and the wine. The name Prosecco is derived from the northern Italian village of Prosecco near Trieste, where the grape may have originated.  Its plantings in the area go back to Roman times and it ranks 30th among Italy’s 2,000 grape varieties.  It is grown mainly in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, traditionally in an area near Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso.  The wines it made were Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, Prosecco di Conegliano and Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, all DOC wines in the Italian wine laws, and many lesser versions, IGT’s, from surrounding areas.  In 2009, a higher level, DOCG, of Prosecco, “Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadine” was declared. In order to avoid confusion with the slightly lower level DOC wines, the older “Glera” grape name was pulled out of retirement for use with the new DOCG.  At the same time, Italian wine laws were adjusted so no other region could use the name “Prosecco” as the name on a wine, regardless of the grape.  (Just so you know, it’s probably going to be a long time, if ever, before we all learn to call Prosecco anything but Prosecco,  whether it’s DOCG or DOC or IGT level. Old habits die hard. And, truly, doesn’t it sound better to say you drank a glass of Prosecco than a glass of Glera?  Glera?  Who’s Glera?)\r\nUnlike champagne, Prosecco’s biggest competition, Prosecco sparkling wine is made with the Charmat method. This is where the second fermentation that puts the bubbles into the wine is done in bulk and the sparkling wine is then bottled.  (Champagne does the second fermentation in the bottle which is quite a bit more expensive and time consuming.) As of 2008, about 150 million bottles of Italian Prosecco were made, 60% of it from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.  Most of the bottles that we see here are IGT wines and a few DOC wines.  Yes, these are the lower and mid-level of Prosecco wines, but they are also the more affordable levels.  For as much as we like to have this bubbly for our holidays,  the price has to be taken into consideration.  Also, every year there is another great sounding recipe for a delicious sounding Prosecco cocktail.  In case you don’t remember, the original Prosecco cocktail was, and still is I guess, a Bellini.  This is Prosecco blended with white peach nectar. Sort of the Italian version of a Mimosa.\r\nSo, there are dozens of Prosecco wines available here.  Many of us have favorites for various reasons.  (Prosecco and football games comes to mind.)  The whole point of this is to let you know that we do have a new one and it is the new DOCG level. (The “G” in DOCG stands for “guarantee.”  This level of wine is tasted and tested to ensure that it is the very best — by Italian wine law.) This wine is 100% Prosecco, or Glera as we now know.  The grapes all come from the highly esteemed area of Valdobbiadene, recognized as a superior area to Conegliano, which gives the wine a higher natural acidity.  The vines for the grapes in this wine are about 25 years old and the grapes are picked by hand.  The harvested grapes are soft pressed and the free run juice is placed in stainless steel tanks.  They are allowed a brief maceration, about four hours, specially selected yeasts are added and fermentation is at a controlled 20 degrees centigrade. There is no malo-lactic fermentation, to keep the acidity stronger, and then the second fermentation is done in autoclaves.  About a month later, when the right degree of bubble pressure is achieved, the wine is bottled and released with no further aging.\r\nAll of which gets this delicious wine to us!  It is light straw colored, with a bit of green tint, very fine bubbles, and a fresh clean taste. The body is soft and the finish stays and stays.  I can tell you this — the first sip and you know immediately that this is a way better Prosecco than we’re used to.  And, at $19.99 per bottle, it still costs quite a bit less than real champagne and is still from the top level in its category.  So what’s its name? Botter. Botter is way better — in fact, it’s the best bubbly for this price I’ve tasted in a long, long time.

It was a fun trip for us because at that time “Mr. Sam,” as we called him, would be nodding in the chair. He would allow us to get the kerosene ourselves and leave the money, or “change” as he called it, on the counter. Then in a rough voice he’d say, “Tell Sadie to stop sending you so late.” Mr. Sam’s youngest daughter now lives in a home on the site of the store.\r\nMr. Willie Smith had a fish market on the corner of Green and Harrington streets facing Green Street. There was also a fish market on the corners of Duke and Harrington streets only two blocks away. The interesting thing to me was that I can only remember seeing customers at these two markets during the season when drum fish were caught and sold. During drum fish season, the sand gnats were plentiful and biting very strong. It was at this time on our walks to Robert Smalls School, then located on Ribaut Road, we would take notice of men gathered in the back of these markets (not on the same day) scaling the huge fish. Later they would cut the fish to be purchased. There were head portions for head stew, backbones for backbone stew and then the filets were called steaks and purchased for frying. Mr. Smith, “Mr. Willie,” his wife and children would help with the sales at his fish market and the Drone family would operate their shop.\r\nOne place that I really enjoyed was a shop called “The Do-Drop-In Shoppe.” I can’t recall if the word do was spelled “do” or “dew.” It was located between West and Charles streets facing King Street. It was a shop that sold ice cream and things made from ice cream; sometimes sandwiches and the like. There were neat little chairs and tables and I believe high stools. The shop reminded me of the soda shoppes that would be seen in comic books like “Archie.” Mr. Prophet Mitchell, his wife Mrs. Margie, and several of his daughters operated the shop. To my knowledge it was opened from Friday evening through Sunday evening. The present United States Post Office in Beaufort now sits on a portion of that property.\r\nAt the corner of Prince and Charles streets was a candy store that was operated by a woman we called Ms. Lizzie Allen. Personally, I call it the candy store because that was what I usually purchased from this very petite store. It seems that there were sodas there, too. I vaguely recall a Coca Cola refrigerated box for what was then referred to by some as “dope” (it was called this because it was so strong and not very often given to children), and having the now famous Coke label. Ms. Allen, to me, was an older woman whom I felt should not have been responsible for such a task. Ms. Allen was also a very inquisitive person. She would ask children various questions concerning their family’s personal business. Elders in the community occasionally referred to her as “nosy.” Neighbors near the store would come over to visit and socialize during the day.\r\n\r\nBeaufort Then &amp; Now\r\n\r\n<em>This moment in Beaufort’s history is an excerpt from the book “Beaufort ...

It’s remarkable, a market on a farm that really caters to kids. They look forward to running around and saying hi to the chickens, maybe having a pony ride, while I get our vegetables and treats for the week.”\r\nPick Pocket Plantation Farmers Market is now serving lunch from 11-5 on Tuesdays, so local business employees stop by for ‘lunch on the farm’ under moss-covered trees with live music in the background. Kathy adds, “Circulating business to our farmers during the winter months is really important to having a long term healthy small farmer community in South Carolina. We hope our community will get on board and help ‘keep it local.’ ”\r\nFor updates on farm activities go to Facebook and at www.pickpocketplantation.com.', 'Farmers market open year round', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'farmers-market-open-year-round', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:21:41', '2011-11-17 13:21:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4240', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(4242, 4, '2011-11-17 08:22:27', '2011-11-17 13:22:27', 'By Katie Phifer\r\nLet’s begin by stating the obvious: Life can be uncertain. You can’t control the wind. Or the rain. Or what happens in Washington. Or the driver of the car in front of you.\r\nThis may feel especially true when it comes to managing your personal financial affairs. Some investors find themselves overwhelmed with information and conflicting advice. Others don’t have the time or interest to manage their personal assets and liabilities with discipline.\r\nTake, for example, planning for retirement, your children’s or grandchildren’s education, and other major financial goals in your life. How much is enough? A common misconception is that you start investing by buying something. In fact, purchasing investments is just one part of a much bigger picture. Think of it this way: You wouldn’t set out on a family trip this holiday season without having a destination and a route to get there. In the same way, before you start investing, you have to have a goal in mind.\r\nAs you answer the question of how to meet your specific goals, you generally should consider a reasonable rate of compounded growth, as well as principal erosion through taxes and inflation and the possible impact of ongoing market changes. But few people have the knowledge or the time to do this on their own.\r\nTraditional planning can create an illusion of stability. But nothing happens every year exactly as predicted. Goals change with your station in life — and financial and market conditions are constantly changing as well.  You can’t have a financial plan and put it up on the shelf to collect dust — it needs to be a “living, breathing document.”\r\nConsider again the goal of planning for retirement. What happens when you begin drawing down your wealth once you begin retirement? How much can you safely withdraw each month in your retirement? This will depend on your investment returns, the inflation rate, changes in your health or marital status, whether you live beyond your life expectancy and other factors.\r\nAs you take inventory of your important financial goals and prioritize them, know that proper planning can help provide a picture of financial strategies. However, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Through periodic reviews of your goals and the performance of your investments, you can assess how your actual investing and spending patterns affect your chance of success in meeting your goals. With this information, you can make changes as needed to keep your plan on track toward your unique financial objectives. There’s no substitute for common sense, a realistic and comprehensive plan that accommodates uncertainty, and sound financial advice from someone you can trust.\r\nAs 2011 comes to an end, here are a few year end planning opportunities that may  help get 2012 off to a great start:\r\n• Meet with your advisor to do year end investment reviews;\r\n• If eligible, make sure you have taken your 2011 Required Minimum Distributions from your retirement accounts;\r\n• Consider 529 gifting to help lessen a tax liability and financially prepare for higher education expenses;\r\n• Take advantage of tax loss harvesting to potentially lower taxes on capital gains;\r\n• Review your beneficiary designations;\r\n• Consider  year end charitable gifting.\r\n\r\n<em>This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Katie Phifer, CFP® Financial Advisor at 843-524-1114.</em>\r\n<em>Investments in securities and insurance products are: NOT FDIC-INSURED/NOT BANK-GUARANTEED/MAY LOSE VALUE</em>\r\n<em>Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, Member SIPC, is a registered broker-dealer and a separate non-bank affiliate of Wells Fargo &amp; Company.</em>', 'Gaining financial confidence in an uncertain world', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'gaining-financial-confidence-in-an-uncertain-world', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:22:27', '2011-11-17 13:22:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4242', 0, 'post', '', 0),

See what you think.\r\n1. Maybe we need a special language committee to make a ruling on how we’re really supposed to pronounce certain everyday words.  Once and for all, is it to-may-toe or ta-mah-toe?  Pea-can or puh-cahn? New Orleans or Noh-lans?  Missour-ee or Missour-ah?  Boston or Bahstan?  And so forth.  When they’re finished, maybe they could earn bonus points by publishing an official list with pictures of all the weeds (pronounced WEEDS) that make their way into gardens so I don’t pull the wrong stuff.\r\n2. The ability to e-mail your friends anywhere around the world, at any time, at virtually no cost, is a wonderful thing.  But what’s happening to our penmanship as a result?  Mine has gone from bad to worse.\r\n3. Is it time to bring back old timey exclamations?  You know, like “heavens to Betsy,” “land sakes,” or “Jumping Jehoshaphat”? Anyone for “leapin’ lizards”?  No?  Horse feathers!\r\n3b. I also wonder if doilies are due for a comeback.  Maybe not soon, since a lot of us don’t seem to know what they’re actually for.\r\n4. It’s getting harder to remember the day when gas station attendants greeted you pleasantly, pumped your gas, checked the oil and wiped your windshield.  All that service, yet that was when gas cost a lot less, too!  Where are those guys working now?\r\n5. Are there any limits to what you can make with local shrimp?\r\n6. Some people here, mostly natives, tell me with all seriousness that the weather never gets too hot for them.  I don’t recall anyone in Syracuse or Chicago saying that about the snow and cold so perhaps they’re just not as resilient as Lowcountry types.\r\n7. About 100 acres of pizza are consumed in the U.S. every year.  That’s 350 slices per second and over 32 billion dollars a year in sales. And 93% of Americans eat AT LEAST one pizza per month.  Can pizza flavored gum, water or toothpaste be far off?  Lipstick, anyone?\r\n8. Saving money is great, and lots of people are really good at it, but you can’t be too cheap about some things, like good shoes, mattresses, dental care and tires.  Just can’t safely shortchange our feet, backs, teeth and traction.\r\n9. Of all the things a person might be snobby about, the worst one might be what anyone else does for a living.  If it’s honest work done for satisfied customers, it’s valuable.  And good.  Period.\r\n9a. Will the inventor of bobblehead dolls please bounce forward and answer a few questions.  (Yes, you may nod.)  What’s your next invention?  How’s your neck rotation?  Can you see behind you without moving your feet?  If a person’s likeness shows up on a bobblehead, that’s a compliment, right?\r\n10. Frog legs are not my favorite dish and who in the world first said they taste like chicken?  Maybe we should give the frogs a break.\r\n10a. When our son was 5 and enthralled with Ninja Turtles, we ordered “snapper” soup in a Philadelphia restaurant.  After it was served, we quietly learned they meant it was made from snapping turtle, not red or yellow snapper as in fish.  He’s 26 now, and it might be time to let him know he liked the soup back then even though we sort of glossed over what it was made from.  I think we’ve passed the soup statute of limitations.\r\n11.  How come so many people enjoy bottled water ... but not canned?  (With all due respect to canteens.)\r\n12. If you’re not sure where you’re going and you get off course, are you lost?  Does this apply to people under 25 or so trying to chart a career path?  Aren’t they too young to be lost?\r\n13. It seems curious to me that almost all the wine sold commercially is made from grapes.  What’s wrong with using melons, cherries, pears or peaches, for instance?  Um, pineapples?\r\n14. Amidst all the wonderful attractions of the Lowcountry, we do have a villain.  Actually, I prefer to think of them as bad employees which deserve to be, yes, FIRED.  Fire ants inject a toxic venom called solenopsin. My first encounter with fire ants was in Augusta.  I took a bag of trash to a container by the side of a river, and within seconds of standing there felt intense stinging on my bare ankles.  Since Augusta, I’ve been attacked by fire ants three times in our backyard.  Plenty of others have been attacked and the performance report is pretty clear on this.  Fire ants are a menace and it’s time for them to go!  Maybe we should build them a special little ant sized highway that leads out of town.  We could all “ante up” to accelerate the process.', 'More random thoughts from a retiree', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'more-random-thoughts-from-a-retiree-2', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:23:22', '2011-11-17 13:23:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4244', 0, 'post', '', 0),

You have somehow restored hope for the future of humanity. Through your undeniable courage, you accomplished what so few will ever understand. At your young age you displayed more bravery, more spirit, and more strength than an entire population. You are remarkable.\r\nWith a heavy heart I apologize to you, your family, and those that also suffered due to the blind eye of a morally bankrupt society; however, you must know those that who cheer for you would triple the capacity of a stadium that has celebrated the achievement of sport.  In every corner of the world you have fans that rise in support of a child who stands against a do nothing mantra of a world diseased with disgrace. You are hope.\r\nI am sorry no one came to your rescue. I am sorry a world that created Superman and Wonder Woman couldn’t present you with the very basic of protection and respect. If it was within my power to visit your past and scream in defiance; no icon, no tradition, no human could have stopped me. There are people who would have been honored to show you the meaning of humanity amidst the monsters of menace.  You are safe.\r\nMay your courage continue to be celebrated, your strength an inspiration, and your refusal to continue the chain of silence be forever embraced. There is no reason, no justification for the suffering delivered to you at the hands of true abhorrence. There is no understanding of the failure to act, no pity for complacency, and no empathy for betrayal of innocence. Your ability to rise above your circumstance is a gift few will obtain. You are strength.\r\nIgnore those who ignored the signs. Live, love, and laugh in the face of those who chose indifference. Wake each morning with the recognition of being a hero, a reminder of what it means to stand firm, an example of a powerful soul that will exceed in a world of weakness. Your scars will pale against the badge of honor you display. I send my sincerest gratitude to you, for standing against what is wrong in a tidal wave of mistrust. You are integrity.\r\nTo those who protest the fall of a legend over the rise of a hero; you are misguided. To those who protest a winning record or the welfare of a child; you are disgrace.

The Tom Fazio-designed course, renowned for its stunning views of Jenkins Creek and the surrounding tidal marshes, has been updated to meet modern golf standards and improve playability for members and guests.\r\n“The course plays beautifully” said Dataw Club member Sonny Googins, “Cotton Dike is a challenge for the best and average golfer on Dataw and truly a joy to play.”\r\nJohn Weaber, a Dataw Club member and resident, went on to say, “I have watched this come together for the last year and I could not be happier with the results. The course is a pleasure to play. All of the members at Dataw should be quite proud of Cotton Dike.”\r\nAs part of the six-month renovation project, 17 of the greens were cored out and re-contoured. All of the greens on the 18-hole course, as well as the putting green and chipping area near the clubhouse, were re-grassed with MiniVerde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda grass, providing a smooth consistent putting surface for players. Fairways were converted to Celebration Bermuda, a grass better suited for shade and heat.\r\nAtlanta’s Billy Fuller Golf Design oversaw the work, part of a $5.4-million project that also will include the renovation of Dataw Island’s Morgan River course next spring. Cotton Dike’s makeover will ensure “the club remains competitive with the marketplace for the next 20 to 30 years,” Fuller said.\r\nA former superintendent of Augusta National Golf Club and Design Associate and Senior Agronomist with Cupp Design, Fuller has completed a number of major renovations of prestigious golf courses across the country since opening the company in 2004. His design work has earned the praise and recognition of Sports Illustrated, the LPGA Tour and Golf Week.\r\nAn important element of the Cotton Dike renovation included the replacement of the now-antiquated hydraulic irrigation system that was installed when the course was built in 1985. Once Lowcountry marshland, the course terrain was drained a century ago by dikes built to create additional land for cotton fields during the great plantation days of Dataw Island. Almost half of the 18 holes lie along the marsh and the winding creek.\r\nBunkers also were improved with new drainage, sand and contouring. Lake banks were restored in numerous areas and trees were pruned to allow more sunlight on the fairways and greens.\r\n“The newly renovated Cotton Dike course turned out wonderfully and will be a great improvement in condition and design,” said Ted Bartlett, general manager and chief operating officer of the Dataw Island Club. “It’s a testament to the club’s commitment to maintaining the finest amenities and our investment in the future.”', 'Cotton Dike Golf Course reopens', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'cotton-dike-golf-course-reopens', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:32:28', '2011-11-17 13:32:28', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4262', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Forty-six posters were submitted in total, a large portion of which came from Todd Stowe’s Graphic Arts class. The school district’s media specialists judged the posters and nominated Valencia King as the Grand Prize winner. Valencia’s poster was an original art poster depicting the Weasley brothers from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” with the quote, “I solemnly swear I am up to no good!”\r\nThe student body also got the chance to a vote for their favorite Book Quotation Poster in the “People’s Choice Award” category. Andrew Glick took the cake, or in this case a $25 gift certificate for books, for his poster from the fantasy book “Eragon.” Honorable mentions went to Roeshawn Braswell for the title “IT” and to Karisma Porter for the book “Impulse.”\r\nA poetry slam also went down during lunchtime, during which students could recite their favorite published or self-written poem for pizza and drinks in the media center. Forty-eight students showed up in what proved to be an introspective exposé of teen talent. The students bravely and creatively shared their thoughts and feelings about their individual “journey” through the teen years.\r\nWhat was said to be the most popular activity during Teen Read Week was the “Guess the Bookworms” contest, in which students guessed the number of gummy worms in a large jar for a chance to not only receive the all the gummy worms but also a $10 certificate for a book. Charmaine Singleton and Jake Snyder split the worms having both guessed the correct number, but each got their own gift certificate.\r\nThese Teen Read Week activities were planned by the Media Center Teen Advisory Board, comprised of students from each grade level and each small school at Beaufort High School, and sponsored by media specialists Leah Roche and Vicky Bradley.

The motto “Healing by the Grace of God through touch” reflects her deeply held spiritual beliefs. Says Cyndi, “I am nothing without God’s help.  Whenever a client raves about my magical hands, I tell them it is not me, but God the Creator.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4274\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"142\" caption=\"Cyndi Allison-Simpkins is the owners of LowCountry Wellness Center.\"]<a href=\"https://actionclub.site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Profile-Cyndi-Allison-Simpkins-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4274\" title=\"Profile-Cyndi Allison-Simpkins\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Profile-Cyndi-Allison-Simpkins-142x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"142\" height=\"300\" /></a>[/caption]\r\n\r\nMuch of Cyndi’s strong faith originates from a major life altering experience that occurred when she was 26 years old and was struck by a Lays Potato Chip truck which caused a blood clot in her brain that destroyed all of her conscious memory up to that date.\r\n“I was engaged at the time, had a wonderful full life, but all that was lost: high school, college, grade school, family and friends.”  But the part of her brain that stores motor memories: eating, talking, walking, and certain learned memories, wasn’t damaged.\r\nAmazingly, through hard work and her parents’ help and encouragement, Cyndi, born in Bamburg and raised in Atlanta, was able to come back from tragedy and rebuild her life from scratch. She had to get to know everyone again, including her mother, father, grandmother and brother. That is one of the reasons that  she decided to move to Beaufort where her parents had retired. Says Cyndi,  “In Atlanta when I would go places, people from college or high school would come up and start talking and instead of explaining everything, I would generally pretend to know them. My parents brought me to Beaufort and when we crossed the Whale Branch River at high tide and sunset, I knew this was where God had led me!”\r\nAnd Cyndi is surprisingly not bitter about the loss of her former life. “I believe God uses everything that happens to us. In New York, I was a director of a horseback riding facility for the handicapped. While a wonderful job, it wasn’t utilizing my ‘calling.’ I had already completed college, and, yes, my academic memory was lost.  But my hands knew what to do.  I could still play the piano, but couldn’t read the music. I could massage the muscles and feel/find the trigger points but didn’t know what I was palpating.  So I had to re-learn a lot to be able to pass exams.”\r\nSays Cyndi,  “My undergrad degree is from UGA in Sports Medicine, my Masters is from Georgia State in Physical Therapy.  My basic massage license is from the Atlanta School of Massage with a year certification program.” She’s also certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage, licensed by the state of South Carolina, and internationally certified by the International Massage &amp; Somatic Therapy Council.\r\nCyndi also rebuilt her personal  life in Beaufort and and now lives happily on a lovely 6 acre organic farm called Edenhope on Lady’s Island with husband, Vince, son Trey, 15, and daughters Sara, 13, and Allison, 12.\r\n\r\nFounding the LowCountry Wellness Center\r\nCyndi worked with the New York Giants and the Molson Beach Volley Ball Team before beginning her rehabilitative therapy clinic  here.  “I started my business in Beaufort in 1991. Originally named ‘Hands On Healing’ and located in the Beaufort Business Center and the YMCA, I changed the name to LowCountry Wellness Center and moved to 90 Marsh Drive when we built an office on our property.” Cyndi says that the ability to truly help people is what she loves about her job.\r\nHer goal at the Wellness Center is to help clients reduce their stress, feel better and be free of pain. Says Cyndi, “There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.”\r\nIn her practice Cyndi has seen her work greatly benefit all sorts of ailments from low-back pain, joint flexibility, refresh tired, injured or overused muscles to helping expectant mothers, post surgery scaring, lessen depression, and assist the body’s natural ability to heal itself while releasing endorphins. The many testimonials on her website attest to her success.\r\n“Cynthia is a therapist in the true sense of the word.  She analyzes a physical problem and executes  treatment with continuing follow-up. She postponed a shoulder replacement for me for many years and has successfully treated osteoarthritic flare-ups.  She is tops in her field and really can make a difference in alleviating and lessening pain,” said one client.\r\nMany doctors regularly refer patients to Cyndi. Said one patient:  “When I was 6 and a half months pregnant, I was sent to get my first maternity massage by Dr. Fontana, and it was divine! I’d been having cramping issues along with awful heartburn. After one relaxing session with Cyndi, the cramping subsided, and there was no more heartburn. I just felt better overall and in a much better frame of mind to become a first-time mother. I highly recommend you give the gift of maternity massage to you and your baby within,” praised another.\r\nCyndi feels it is important to stay current with the latest techniques and breakthroughs and has continued to receive certifications in other techniques over the past 27 years.  Notably, specific training from Paul St. John’s Neuromuscular, Bonnie Prudden’s Myotherapy, The Upledger Institute for CranialSacral Therapy, and Myofascial training by John Barnes.\r\nCyndi has also been very involved in the community over the years where, as a member of the Parish Church of St. Helena Episcopal,  she is President of the Parish Church Women. She is also trained as a Stephen Minister which she says helps immensely in her practice healing the mind, body and spirit. Last month she “retired” from being the president of the PTO of Lady’s Island Middle school for the past two years.  She is also a graduate of Leadership Beaufort.\r\n\r\nAbout the LowCountry Wellness Center\r\n\r\nCyndi has both men and women clients “from birth to 97 years young,” she said. A half-hour consultation without treatment is free.  For hands-on work, half hour segments begin at $40, but an hour is suggested for the first appointment. In certain situations, insurance is accepted. (Check the website for details).\r\n\r\nThe Wellness Center has gift certificates as well.  They can be purchased online for any occasion and can be printed off or received in the mail.   Says Cyndi, “The intent of my practice is to get the people that come to me out of pain, and keep them that way.  I work hard to learn new techniques that will make me a better therapist and ultimately help you.  I believe that if you are pain free, you will feel good enough to refer others in.  So come and try the newest in holistic techniques that can get you pain free and being active again!”\r\n\r\nSome of the many services provided by the Wellness Center include: Reflexology, Myokinesthetics, Labor and Delivery Massage, Pre and Post Natal Massage, Infant Massage, Aquassage, Equissage, Canine Massage, Sports Massage, Grief Therapy, Craniofacial Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, Pre-Wedding Massage Parties, On-Site Chair Massage, Paraffin Therapy, Ear Candling, Office Ergonomic Evaluations, Postural Fitness Work.  Also Cyndi is the only person trained and certified in Laser acupuncture for people in the Beaufort area.\r\n\r\nAdds Cyndi, “I also love to educate my patients and tell everyone that a massage is like an oil change for your car.  Everyone needs one at least once a month.  You can replace your car, but you can’t replace you body!”\r\n\r\nFor more information, go to www.lowcountrywellnesscenter.com The office is located at: 90 Marsh Drive, Lady’s Island, South Carolina, 29907.

The purpose of genetic testing, he told the group, is to help monitor and direct treatment for patients predisposed to develop cancer.\r\n“We provide them with concrete things they can do to reduce their risk, including screenings, surgery and preventive medications,” Buchanan said. “For women who already have been diagnosed with breast cancer, knowing they’ve inherited a mutation in the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene can help them decide if they should have more aggressive treatment and how to manage their risk for a second cancer.”\r\nWomen with an average risk of developing breast cancer should begin having annual mammograms at age 40. Statistics show 80 out of 1,000 screenings will reveal an abnormality, requiring further testing to determine if it’s a tumor.\r\n“Ten will need a biopsy to evaluate the abnormal findings,” said BMH general surgeon Dr. Perry Burrus. “Three of those will have cancer.”\r\nDr. Linda Sutton, medical director of the Duke Oncology Network, followed with a presentation on the effect diet and exercise can have on breast cancer. The most dramatic findings involved the consumption of alcohol. Research has revealed the risk of developing breast cancer increases 10 percent with just one drink a day.\r\n“It’s the one factor that consistently increases the risk,” said Sutton, associate professor of medicine at Duke. “There is no safe level of consuming alcohol.”\r\nThe second half of the conference focused on colorectal cancer, which killed an estimated 51,000 men and women in the United States in 2010. Duke gastrointestinal oncologist Dr. Hope Uronis discussed the use of targeted therapies in conjunction with chemotherapy to battle the disease.\r\nAvastin, a drug first used in 2003, has extended the survival rate of advanced-stage colon cancer patients by five months. Since then, two more drugs have been added to the cancer-fighting arsenal.\r\n“With targeted therapy, we have more options to treat patients longer,” said Uronis, an assistant professor of medicine at Duke University. “It’s incremental improvements.”\r\nBack when there was only one chemotherapy drug, the median survival rate for a patient with Stage 4 colon cancer was six months. Today, it’s two years.\r\nWhile colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, it’s also one of the most preventable cancers. BMH gastroenterologist Dr. Kevin Kearney strongly urged primary care physicians to talk with their patients about getting a screening.\r\n“It’s so important to keep primary care physicians in the loop,” said Dr. Majd Chain, medical director of BMH oncology services. “As specialists, we depend on their expertise to help manage side effects like hypertension, depression, insomnia and fatigue. They’re an integral part of the team.”', 'Conference educates physicians about cancer', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'conference-educates-physicians-about-cancer', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:44:13', '2011-11-17 13:44:13', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4282', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Becky conceptualized and was the driving force behind an idea that would set this event apart from traditional fundraisers  — the Pre-Ball Dinner Party!  The night of the ball, ticket holders are invited to attend a private dinner party in a local home prior to going to the ball.  The dinner parties are organized by the BMH Foundation; they are unique in that guests may or may not know each other or their hosts. Dinner parties are held in the residences of generous volunteers. They are a great way to give back to the foundation and allow you to meet fellow ball attendees and get to know them.  These parties are small and intimate in size, but large in their benefit to the hospital. Hosts serve dinner, but dessert is served at the ball.\r\nThat first year, Becky and Neil Trask were supposed to host 12 people and ended up with 32 at their home due to the large number of tickets sold.\r\nCarter and Polly Swenson have hosted dinner parties for the Valentine Ball every year since 1992 with the exception of one. The Swenson’s feel their best way to support the hospital is by  hosting a dinner party every year — and that has lead to some wonderful memories.  Mrs. Swenson has the dinner party hosting down to a science and that includes her personally preparing all five courses she serves at her house along with some humor.

The purpose of the maple syrup is solely to provide the body with the nutrients needed to sustain itself during the detoxification process. Grade B maple syrup, darker and richer in color,  has less refined sugars than Grade A and allows the body to burn it off quickly.\r\nIt is highly recommended that the detox be done consecutively for a minimum of 3 days, however, can be done for up to 21 days.  The only catch to this well-kept jewel of a secret is that the detox must be done in conjunction with a fast and a salt water flush to cleanse the intestines as well.  Though three or more days of no food may have you contemplating throwing out this article at the very moment, it’s not necessarily impossible. The cleanse can be altered to include light foods and a minimum number of days per individual, however, a noted and almost immediate “side effect” of the fast and detox is the rapid, but healthy, weight loss.\r\nBefore any changes in diet, exercise or health related issues, please always consult your physician first for what is suitable for you.

A financial impact analysis indicates the local economy will see $5 in benefits for every $1 invested in the Boundary Street Redevelopment District, he said.\r\nTo help pay for the $30 million project, Beaufort applied for a $21.2 million federal Department of Transportation grant now under review. If received, this grant will supplement the current one cent sales tax project that has been under engineering and design. The project is part of the Boundary Street Master Plan adopted by City Council in 2006, which includes a designated redevelopment district and plan, Tax Incremental Finance District and Form-Based Code.\r\nThroughout the project is the intent to create commercial nodes along Boundary Street that can be safely reached by foot, bicycle, wheelchairs and vehicles. Designing shopping centers and retail shops only for vehicular access limits their potential for success.\r\nCommunities across the country are emphasizing the retrofit of their suburbs, said Craig Lewis from the Beaufort Office of Civic Investment. The “retrofit” is needed because of a growing market for multi-unit housing in the suburbs; continued growth in the percentage of jobs in suburban locations; rising gas prices making housing on the periphery less affordable; and local smart growth policies that limit sprawl and redirect growth to what’s already built, he said.\r\nMaking the change involves using the form-based zoning codes, working with the S.C. Department of Transportation on road improvements, partnering with the Lowcountry Housing Trust to assist with housing revitalization, rehabbing existing buildings to new uses, and working alongside SCE&amp;G to bury overhead lines.\r\nThe Boundary Street Redevelopment District also will reconfigure retail shopping opportunities to improve public access and sustainability, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.\r\n“Even in a city the size of Beaufort, people will choose not to go out shopping if it means driving in traffic at certain times of the day. We also look at the cost of gas as another gauge of whether it’s ‘worth it’ to get in the car and drive somewhere,” Dadson said.\r\n“If walking or biking or taking a golf cart are other options to get to the store, suddenly those businesses have a more robust market in which to serve and hopefully succeed,” he said.', 'Redeveloping Boundary Street', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'redeveloping-boundary-street', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:49:55', '2011-11-17 13:49:55', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4297', 0, 'post', '', 0),

However our hearts were warm because we saw what a handful of volunteers are doing to keep our city safer.\r\nThere were no uniforms, only homemade arm bands to differentiate one team from the other. (I have offered to get vests or T-shirts for the next tournament making it easier to differentiate one team from the other.)\r\nThe court is adjacent to the Charles Lind Brown Center (aka Green Street Gym), the former downtown neighborhood community center  — where the competition would have been more appropriate — which  is now locked down in the evenings and on weekends. But that did not stop neighbors from trying to fill a gap left open by government austerity.\r\nA volunteer was cooking hot dogs, serving beverages and popcorn to the participants. There was a supervised play area for toddlers and there were a few lawn chairs where some sat in the sun and watched from across the street. Finally there was a sign up table for a free week of boxing lessons offered by Mr Singleton, who trained in Joe Frazier’s Gym and now has his own gym for training would-be boxers.\r\nThis was not the result of a government program. It is an example of people caring enough to invest their time and money to protect their community.\r\nHow did this happen and how can we help it grow and succeed in meeting an urgent need for safe places and activities for good kids who otherwise might go astray?\r\nThe principal organizer of the informal, but hard fought competition, is an unnamed young man who himself has had multiple convictions and spent too much of his life in prison. It is supported by yet another young man, now an attorney and pastor, who himself spent a large part of his life behind bars. They realize the bad choices they made and want to help those who are at-risk from making bad choices and avoid going to the same jails and prisons and, more importantly, threatening the safety of others in the community.\r\nThe initiative began a few months ago when random shots were fired on young people playing basketball on the outside court.\r\nThe next day, Anita Singleton Prather (aka Aunt Perlie Sue), called a meeting in her living room. Fortunately, Anita keeps an eagle’s eye on what is happening on the street outside her home and knows many of the young people who were essentially put out on the street when the gym closed and while the Boys &amp; Girls Club’s Teen Center was closed.\r\nWithin weeks, the small group grew into what is now called the Circle of Hope Coalition, which sponsored the basketball event and others for younger people in recent weeks.\r\nDuring our first and subsequent meetings, we met with some of the young men who were victims of the driveby shooting. (A big pot of spaghetti likely helped Anita with recruiting.) Among the adults were the two men I mentioned earlier, alongside a city police officer, a few members of the clergy, a former police officer and neighbors who are afraid of losing their historically diverse neighborhood.\r\nRather than asking the young men to tattle tale on the shooters, which could have incited retribution, the focus was on what we can do to avoid these kinds of incidents?\r\nOver and over the young men, about six of them, said: help us “find something to do.” A summer job, knowing they are scarce; a place to play ball; a safe place to hang out and have fun with friends.\r\nThe organized basketball event was the first event, but others are planned as The Circle of Hope Coalition is on additional programs including before and after school programs for those whose parents leave for work early and return late. Finally, the group has applied to Beaufort County Department of Parks and Leisure Services to let them use the largely under utilized public space for programs that create a safe place for young people.\r\nThis is a beginning but we have a long way to go. I urge you to support this initiative, attend events, provide financial assistance for refreshments and encourage others to help you do so.\r\nNotwithstanding government cutbacks, we must all work to preserve our neighborhoods and ensure the safety of all.\r\nProviding activities and safe places for your people is one way to help them resist the pressure to “be cool” which often leads to getting into trouble and challenging the public safety and the futures for those who are led astray.\r\nCongratulations and thanks to the Circle of Hope Coalition, residents of the Northwest Quadrant and others who supported them for investing in the future of our young people and the safety of our neighborhoods.', 'The power of one community', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-power-of-one-community', '', '', '2011-11-17 08:51:24', '2011-11-17 13:51:24', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=4301', 0, 'post', '', 0),

However, what was unusually girl-like about the matter was the fact that the argument started with four males together in the restroom and the reason they were fighting is unknown.\r\n\r\nROAD KILL: On Sunday, Nov. 13 a drunk man stood on the side of Sea Island Parkway and started threatening anyone who walked or drove by. Whatever chip on his shoulder that drove the man to drink also gave him the liquid courage to accost 4,000 pound moving vehicles. Luckily for the man, there was no counter road rage.\r\n\r\nTO SEW OR NOT TO SUE: Last Friday, Nov. 10, an unknown subject known as Repairman, broke a window at a boat canvas business and stole a sewing machine and thread.\r\n\r\nTHE CELLAR DOOR: Once upon a time, four baby boys were born with clean consciences. Growing up, the boys were poisoned and became criminals, finding a purpose in stealing from innocent people. Between Friday and Saturday, the four boys broke into a house on Pilot Street, stealing jewelry, car keys and a pistol. They decided to steal the car. The same four broke into a house on Church Street, stealing electronics and more jewelry. They broke into a third house, and then a fourth on Greene Street before being caught by police after a neighbor reported the suspicious activity. One boy was caught red-handed with the car keys in his pocket and the stolen car was found at his mother’s house. Before the police caught the boys, I met them. They’d stopped to “help” my friend and I push our car out of a ditch on Brickyard Point. At first, seeing the four as kind Samaritans, we later learned their true colors when my purse was stolen. By the next morning, more than $630 had been spent at Walmart, $2 at Redbox, $15 on gas and $20 at McDonalds — clearly they were more in need of the money than a girl on the side of the road with a car in a ditch. I’d like to think that even in real-life good begets evil, and I hope somewhere deep inside themselves the boys will find the good that can transcend the upbringing that fostered their evil. Ending pending …\r\n\r\nCHIVALRY DEAD OR ALIVE?: Last Saturday a male subject started physically assaulting his girlfriend at Crybabies. Fortunately, there was another male bystander who intervened and subdued the attacker until police arrived. One-for-one, that still leaves the question whether chivalry is dead or alive in the South? (We know it’s dead in the North.)\r\n\r\n<em>Compiled by Tess Malijenovsky. Crime Report items are chosen from the files of the Beaufort Police Department.
