Each couple or small group planned and executed their dinners with all arriving to create a beautiful world of white linens, candlelight and guests in their finest white apparel.  Dinner was served, the sparklers were lit and just as quickly as it all began, everything was whisked away and all that remained was the natural beauty of the island ruins and the cleansing rains of a late summer storm.

She spent 12 years in New Orleans before moving first to Isle of Palms and finally to Beaufort where she runs PickleJuice Productions with her husband, Will, who handles the marketing and business side of things.\r\n\r\n“I was fortunate to work for a startup web company during my last year at Ole Miss,” says Ginger. “I designed and developed the first website for the University of Mississippi’s art department as my senior thesis.”\r\n\r\nThat website launched Ginger into the possibilities offered by the World Wide Web and after graduation she chose to apply her design degree in interactive development rather than print. After a move to New Orleans she landed a job at NewOrleans.com as their sole designer. While there she worked on many other city and country websites including NewYork.com, VisitCanada.com and ExperienceNewOrleans.com.\r\n\r\nGinger and Will have worked with a variety of clients over the years. They have developed websites for 5-star resorts, hotels, restaurants, festivals, non-profit organizations, magazines, storefronts and even a waste disposal business.\r\n\r\n“I love the diversity of clientele that we get to work with,” Ginger says. “Will and I believe that every business needs a good website presence to represent their brand and it’s really fun to make that happen.”\r\n\r\nGinger says that the PickleJuice philosophy is based on creating unique and successful design solutions and establishing long-term relationships with clients.\r\n\r\n“We’re proud of our 98 percent client retention rate,” she says. “We appreciate that every project is unique and we’ll work with clients to develop their vision and recommend services consistent with their needs and budget.”\r\n\r\nSince moving to Beaufort, Ginger says she’s been fortunate to collaborate with other local businesses like ShopLocalBeaufort.com a community campaign that was kicked off a couple years ago. The Shop Local Beaufort campaign was created to support and promote local artists and locally owned, independent businesses in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nAccording to Ginger, “As a family-owned and operated business, we know how important it is to have support from our friends, neighbors and local businesses. Most of our clients are small businesses and without them we could not survive in this tough economy. The Shop Local Beaufort campaign is our way of saying thank you and giving back to our community.”\r\n\r\nPickleJuice has also developed websites for many of local non-profit organization including CAPA, Born To Read and The Junior Service League of Beaufort.\r\n\r\nGinger and Will recently started working on a new project that is solely owned and operated by PickleJuice. BeaufortBride.com is a new website that they are launching to help in planning a wedding in Beaufort, Hilton Head, Bluffton  and the Sea Islands of Beaufort County.\r\n\r\n“BeaufortBride.com highlights preferred local wedding vendors, real Lowcountry weddings, exquisite venues, impeccable bridal style, unique inspirations and the true southern hospitality of Beaufort County, South Carolina,” says Ginger. “Our goal is to provide Beaufort brides, grooms and their families with quality resources, creative ideas and exquisite details to help them plan their memorable Lowcountry wedding.”\r\n\r\nParents to 4-year-old Hogan, who goes to school at Miss Linda’s, and 1-year-old Cecila, Ginger and Will look forward to building their business in Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“We love Beaufort and look forward to growing our business and raising our family here. The Lowcountry holds a special place in our hearts and we hope to stay here for a very long time,” Ginger exclaims.\r\n\r\nPickleJuice Productions is located at 308 Charles Street, Beaufort.

Laura Beall, a breast cancer survivor, was treated at Beaufort Memorial’s Keyserling Cancer Center.\r\n\r\nA sales consultant for Etcetera clothing, Beall recently joined the foundation’s Board of Trustees.

They’ve also served on the decorations, auction and dinner party planning committees.\r\n\r\n“The dinner parties are our favorite part of the ball,” Beall said. “We love how they bring together the most interesting people of all seasons — people you might not have known otherwise, but can now count among your dearest friends.”\r\n\r\nHeld at some of Beaufort’s most beautiful homes, the pre-ball dinner parties will kick off the evening of fun. Every guest who purchases a ticket by Jan. 16 will receive a personal invitation to one of the parties.\r\n\r\nFollowing dinner, guests will make their way to the ball. The festivities will include a silent auction, dancing and decadent desserts.

Hugging Amy is her mother, a 30-year retired Beaufort County teacher. Smiling and clapping, center, is Whale Branch Middle School Principal Matt Hunt.[/caption]\r\n\r\n“Amy exemplifies the key characteristics of a passionate teacher and natural born leader,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “Her students succeed because of her skill at engaging them and instilling them with confidence. She encourages, and she pushes, and she challenges them every day to do their best.”\r\n\r\nAfter the announcement, Martha Hartley, chief financial officer of Hilton Head Buick-GMC-Cadillac, offered Simmons her choice of three new cars donated by the dealership for her to use over the coming year, or a $5,000 check. Simmons, who had recently purchased a car, chose the check.\r\n\r\nSimmons has been teaching music and directing the band at Whale Branch Middle since 2010 and says her proudest moments in teaching are when students find relationships between standards from their core curriculum within their music lessons.\r\n\r\nPrincipal Matthew Hunt said that while there are many terrific teachers in Beaufort County, it takes a truly gifted and special person to make a difference in the lives of those considered “at-risk” students. “Amy Simmons has worked tirelessly to build and establish quality instructional and educational opportunities for students throughout Beaufort County,” he said, “and we are fortunate that this former Beaufort County student has chosen to call Whale Branch Middle her home.”\r\n\r\nAccording to Simmons, her teaching philosophy is based on a quote that she adopted early on: “Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”\r\n\r\nOne of Simmons’ greatest accomplishments in the classroom was in 2012 when she won a Mr. Holland’s Opus Grant, which purchased much-needed equipment for music classes. Included in that equipment was a collection of steel drums, and over the past two years, the Whale Branch Middle steel drum band has travelled all over the Southeast to perform.\r\n\r\n“I chose this profession to help students succeed,” Simmons wrote in her Teacher of the Year application. “I chose this profession to give students the opportunities I had growing up in this very same district.”\r\n\r\nSimmons educational background includes: EdS. Education Administration from South Carolina State University; M.A. Teaching with Specialization in National Board Certified Teaching Leadership from National University; B.S. Music Education from South Carolina State University.\r\n\r\nThe four other finalists for 2014-15 District Teacher of the Year were Michelle Henry of Whale Branch Elementary, Caroleen Hodge of Port Royal Elementary, Annette Lee of Hilton Head Island High School, and Sharon McMahon of Bluffton Middle.\r\n\r\nBecoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that begins when school-level teachers of the year are selected in April. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the Year submit detailed applications by the end of July.\r\n\r\nIn the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviews the applications and rates them using a numerical scoring system.  The five highest-scoring applicants are named as finalists.\r\n\r\nIn the third step, the finalists are interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county.  Those panelists begin by reviewing videos of the teachers doing classroom lessons. The judges then score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about the teaching methods shown in the videos, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues.', 'Teacher of the Year: Whale Branch Middle music teacher honored', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'teacher-of-the-year-whale-branch-middle-music-teacher-honored', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:37', '2018-07-12 15:00:37', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18988', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18997, 4, '2014-10-02 08:56:35', '2014-10-02 12:56:35', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nI love life hacks. You know, those “why didn’t I think of that!” things that provide clever solutions to mundane problems. My current faves are using a can opener to breach dreaded clamshell packaging in lieu of inviting a paring knife wound; stretching a rubber band across the top of a paint can to use as a brush wiper; and the one in play right now, a key ring threaded through the tongue of my pants zipper, looped around the button until I stop being too lazy to replace the zipper that won’t stay up.\r\n\r\nDogs have hacks, too! Here are a few that might make your life, and your dog’s life, easier:\r\n\r\n1. Attach a carabiner (a metal clip that allows rock climbers to link together ropes and harnesses) to your dog’s leash or collar. Carabiners come in handy: If you need to secure your dog to any stationary object; if you need to connect multiple leashes to walk all your dogs at once; if you need to attach your leash to a belt loop to free up your hands.  And, you can attach your keys to your dog if you’re going for a run together.\r\n\r\n2. If your dog is a manic food gobbler (and you have one of those breeds prone to bloat), feed your pet on a rimmed cookie sheet. He’ll be forced to slow down if he wants to hoover up every last morsel. Some hacks for this problem suggest placing rocks or balls in the food bowl so as to force a dog to eat around the obstacles.  Good idea, though I have dog friends smart enough to simply remove the ball, shoot the owner a “seriously?” look and continue sucking down food, and also dog friends not so smart as to eat the rocks, too.\r\n\r\n3. Use a squeegee to remove dog hair from carpet <i>before</i> vacuuming.   Or, if you want to see how ineffective your vacuum is, use the squeegee <i>after</i> vacuuming. It’s amazing how much dog hair you’ll skim off the rugs. A damp rubber glove is useful for removing hair from furniture.\r\n\r\n4. Don’t put your pet’s name on his ID tag. When your dog responds to his name, it only makes it easier for the thief.  Also, if you’re the only one who knows his name, it will make it easier to prove you’re the rightful owner upon recovery. A phone number on the tag is sufficient when your dog is already microchipped.\r\n\r\n5. If your dog gets loose, do not chase him. To him, it looks like you’re coming along on his walkabout.  Yippee! Rather, lie down and pretend you’re hurt. Yelp, whimper. They’ll come back to make sure you’re all right. If that fails, run the opposite direction while making happy “come play with me” sounds.  They’ll want to get in on the game.\r\n\r\n6. If you have a puppy or lifetime devoted chewer, wipe down exposed cords with eucalyptus oil, Vicks or Mentholatum. Dogs dislike how it smells and even more, how it tastes.  Some hacks suggest using Bitter Apple spray but I’ve found dogs tend to think of that as a condiment.\r\n\r\n7.  If you like animal movies but are devastated if an animal is hurt, left alone with the zombies or contracts a terminal illness, go online and check the website http://doesthedogdie.com for a quick heads-up.  Saves a lot of heartache.\r\n\r\n8. Always, always reward your dog. Every time your dog does something correctly, a simple “Good dog!” is enough for your Best Friend to know that he IS your best friend.\r\n<div></div>', 'A few hacks for your dog', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-few-hacks-for-your-dog', '', '', '2014-10-02 08:56:35', '2014-10-02 12:56:35', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18997', 0, 'post', '', 0);

(19001, 4, '2014-10-02 09:28:10', '2014-10-02 13:28:10', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThis week’s wine seems an appropriate choice to celebrate the fall season — a deep, dark red that can bring out the bold (and perhaps sinister) side.\r\n\r\nThe AVA today, for the source of our wine’s grapes, is the Lodi District in California. Although, the company that makes our wine is in Napa Valley. We’re all wine savvy enough to know that grapes from one place can be fermented in another, especially in many New World wine-producing areas.\r\n\r\nThe Lodi area is located 100 miles east of San Francisco, south of Sacramento and near the delta of the San Joaquin River. This area is best known for producing full-bodied Zinfandel wines, but it also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. Grapes have grown in the Lodi area since the 1850’s, and, today, there are about 100,000 acres of vines and more than 750 growers. These vineyards and growers are responsible for about 20 percent of all the wine grapes grown in California, more than Napa and Sonoma together.  The Lodi AVA is about 500,000 acres, and it is divided into seven smaller AVAs.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets to our grape variety for this week: Petite Sirah. To start with, Petite Sirah and Syrah are not the same. (Syrah and Shiraz are the same.) Both Petite Sirah and Syrah are varieties that come from the Rhône Valley in France, both can make rich, big red wines. Syrah, under its Shiraz name, travelled from France to Australia and became popular and prolific. Petite Sirah managed to travel to California in the late 1870’s, mostly to the central valley where it was used to give color and tannins to jug wines. Many home winemakers found Petite Sirah good for their wines as well.\r\n\r\nBy 1900, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Mourvèdre were the most planted grapes in California. Field blends became very popular with Italian immigrants at the turn of the century. Assorted grape varieties were grown in one vineyard, field, all together and then fermented into wine, still all together. Of course, this was before wines from specific varieties became popular.\r\n\r\nBut, in 1961, Concannon Vineyards in Livermore Valley made the first Petite Sirah labeled varietal wine; the first time this grape was shown to be good enough on its own. With the success of this one wine, California plantings of Petite Sirah reached 14,000 acres by the late 1970’s. But, nothing lasts forever. Today there are only about 2,500 acres.\r\n\r\nSo, where did Petite Sirah come from?  Yes, France, but who were its Mom and Dad?  Well, that question has had various answers over the years. François Durif, a French botanist in the 1860’s, kept a nursery at his home where he grew several grape varieties. Somehow, at some point, two of his vines, Peloursin and Syrah, cross-pollinated and he had a new variety. In 1868, this new grape was named for him: Durif. DNA testing at the University of California Davis in 1997 confirmed this variety and its parents. It was this new variety that travelled from France to the vineyards of California, this variety that was part of so many field blends. And this variety that now accounts for about 90 percent of grapes in California vineyards that are called Petite Sirah. (The other 10 percent are bits of leftover varieties that were also in field blends.)\r\n\r\nAnd where does the name Petite Sirah come from? It’s just a name, probably used before DNA accuracy when the leaves of Durif vines looked similar to Syrah’s leaves, but the Durif grapes looked smaller than Syrah grapes. Legally, in California now, both Durif and Petite Sirah are recognized by the ATF. Wines can be labels with either name, but they are not considered synonyms. Poor Petite Sirah, we can’t even keeps its name straight. Oh, well. We can still drink it, no matter what we call it.\r\n\r\nPetite Sirah, or Durif if you prefer, wines are deep, dark, inky wines. And dense colors mean dense flavors and textures. These wines can be relatively acidic, but they have firm textures and mouth feels. Their aromas are herbal, with black pepper, black fruits like blackberries, spices, licorice, plums, smoke, leather and blueberries. Compared to Syrah wines, these are fuller and rounder, darker colored, especially with purple hues, and brighter in your mouth.\r\n\r\nDespite being named for its small grapes, this variety makes big, bold wines. It seems the high skin to juice ratio plays a part in it all. Massive, chewy and masculine are all good descriptions for good Petite Sirah. Because of their weight, these wines age well. In fact, they improve with aging, long aging, like 10 years.\r\n\r\nPairing food with Petite Sirah is easy. Big bold wine goes with big, bold, full-flavored food. Red meat is a given, especially grilled and barbecued beef, venison, bison, wild pig. Lamb goes well, too. The acidity and astringency in the wine keeps the lamb fat in line. Spicy and rich sausages are also perfect. For cheeses, think sharp and aged such as Cheddar and Gouda. But, there’s a lot more Petite Sirah goes well with including roasted and grilled vegetables, red sauces, pizza, burgers, hearty shrimp and grits, bacon (meaning many dishes flavored with bacon) and spicy foods.\r\n\r\nOur wine of the week, Seven Sinners Petite Sirah, is 100 percent Petite Sirah — no field blend left behinds. It has velvety textures with deep, rich flavors such as blackberry jam, blueberries and black pepper spice. And, my favorite part of this wine, is a long, lingering finish. The flavors and textures just hold on your tongue and linger around your mouth for minutes after your first sip.\r\n\r\nThis month, gather six of your most fun-loving friends so you can call yourselves “the Seven Sinners” as you drink this big, bold wine. It can be found at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $14.99. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Savoring Seven Sinners Petite Sirah', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'savoring-seven-sinners-petite-sirah', '', '', '2014-10-02 09:28:10', '2014-10-02 13:28:10', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19001', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This was a perfect excuse for my husband to run out and buy a Smart TV. We didn’t realize that it requires some intelligence to operate a Smart TV.\r\n\r\nAt home, we opened the box and removed the unit,  the set-up guide and the user manual. Imagine our surprise when the first direction on the set-up guide was titled “Unpack — Taking the TV out of the box.” Right away we knew we were in trouble since we had failed to remove it correctly and most likely voided the limited warranty.\r\n\r\nThere was also a note at the end of the set up guide that said, “Scan this QR code with your smart phone to see helpful videos.” We burst out laughing since we don’t scan QR codes nor did we realize that those little barcodes were called QR codes.\r\n\r\nThumbing through the 34-page user manual, we discovered we had bought a unit that featured a Smart Hub, a multi-purpose entertainment and family center.  We thought we had just purchased a TV set. After all the precautions and features were read, we finally got to the page titled “Turning On and Controlling the TV.” Oh no! Another remote control. Every electronic now has its own unique device.  The remote control for my cable service provider has the volume on the left and the channel changer on the right. The new Smart TV remote is completely opposite.\r\n\r\nIt occurred to me during this process that I have lived through the television evolution. The first television I recall as a girl was a huge box that had two knobs. One knob was the on/off switch and also adjusted the volume, and the other knob was for switching to one of the three channels available — NBC, CBS and ABC. The TV set contained an assortment of tubes in the back and the television repair man, with his large box of tubes,  would come to our home to fix it when needed. It was all very technical. We have certainly come a long way.\r\n\r\nFortunately for us, the user guide did provide the Tech Support number so we could get some help. After we finally got the TV operating with the help from  Bob, our technician, my husband informed him there had been one thing missing from the box.

(19026, 4, '2014-10-02 09:44:29', '2014-10-02 13:44:29', 'Hoping to stimulate private investment in the Boundary Street Redevelopment District by clarifying some development restrictions, Beaufort city planners continue to tweak the Boundary Street Code.\r\n\r\nThe Boundary Street Redevelopment District’s design standards were created to encourage and spur a predictable, walkable development pattern along the road to go hand-in-hand with the upcoming streetscape improvements that have been planned since 2006.\r\n\r\nWhile still needing review and approval by the Beaufort City Council, the proposed code changes were discussed during a public hearing at the Sept. 23 City Council meeting, with more comments and discussion likely to take place at an October 21 council work session.\r\n\r\nThe city’s goal is to maintain the design integrity of the district, while making it possible for buildings to be constructed economically to encourage business growth along the corridor.\r\n\r\nBeaufort is working on a $28 million project to renovate a section of Boundary Street, the gateway to Beaufort and the Sea Islands. Construction is expected to start in early 2015. The project, partly funded by a federal grant, will improve safety, aesthetics and curbside appeal of affected properties.\r\n\r\nThe seven fundamental goals of the Boundary Street Code are: Interconnect it all; Create traffic capacity with safety and character; Plan for feasible, phase-able pieces; Make Boundary a walkable “great street”; Grow a mix of uses and a mix of housing types; Assemble a green network; link marsh views; Grow a memorable entrance to Beaufort and its National Historic Landmark District.\r\n\r\n“The desire of the city is to see the private investment keep pace with the publicly-funded infrastructure that we’ve been putting in place the last several years and will continue to do with the Boundary Street project,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.\r\n\r\n“We believe these code adjustments can help accomplish that and will make it easier and more economically feasible for people to do business and to start or expand their business in the Boundary Street Corridor.”\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission scheduled a workshop for Oct. 1 to discuss the proposed revisions. The commission is scheduled to make a recommendation on the proposed changes at their Oct. 20 meeting.\r\n\r\nA number of changes to the Boundary Street Code have been proposed, some of them simple text clarifications and several of them “major changes,” according to Beaufort City Planning Director Libby Anderson.\r\n\r\nThe important changes address the following areas:\r\n\r\n<b>• Appeals process: </b>Staff is proposing changing the appeal body from the Planning Commission to the Design Review Board (DRB). The purpose of the DRB is to review plans for new construction outside the Historic District, and so it is the appropriate board to consider appeals regarding design issues.\r\n\r\n<b>• SCDOT ownership of the majority of the roads:</b> Staff is proposing changes that give staff more flexibility to adjust the build-to lines to accommodate building frontages that are not currently permitted in the SCDOT right-of-way. These include colonnades, arcades and balconies.\r\n\r\n<b>• Two-story building heights: </b>Staff is proposing to eliminate the two-story requirement for non-residential buildings and apply a taller minimum first floor height for one-story buildings. This would apply in all areas except in a new two-story overlay zone, proposed to be located at the primary intersections of Ribaut Road/Boundary Street and Robert Smalls Parkway/Boundary Street. Mezzanines would be permitted to fulfill the two-story requirement in this area, and specific mezzanine standards are added to the code.\r\n\r\n<b>• Frontage goal:</b>\r\n\r\no   A minimum goal requirement was added to regulate the percentage of building that should be built along the street frontage at the setback or build-to line. Generally it’s 60 percent in the more urban areas and 40 percent in the less urban areas. Staff felt that this was important because the Boundary Street Code is focusing on creating urban places, and the amount of street frontage that is comprised of buildings is a key part of this. Minimum frontage requirements are common standards in form-based codes.\r\n\r\no   Frontage elements such as arcades, colonnades, storefronts, porches, etc. were consolidated and clarified to eliminate confusion between general glazing requirements, and glazing requirements for specific frontage types.\r\n\r\n<b>• Window requirements:</b> New language distinguishes glazing requirements for residential versus commercial construction.\r\n\r\nMaximum parking requirement: This was added to the code so it now has minimum and maximum parking standards. There are maximum parking requirements in the city’s standard zoning districts, so it seemed reasonable to apply these same standards to the Boundary Street zone.\r\n\r\n<b>• Drive-Through Special Exception: </b>These standards were updated and clarified as a result of several meetings regarding the proposed Starbucks coffee shop.\r\n\r\n“We have met with developers, architects, and people involved and affected by the Boundary Street Redevelopment District,” Anderson said. “We have listened to their concerns. Our recommendations reflect what we think are the best ways to address those concerns while also protecting the goals of the Boundary Street Redevelopment District as it begins to take shape.\r\n\r\n“As the mayor says so often, we must continually seek to preserve the ‘sense of place’ that is so important to Beaufort,” Anderson said. “It’s what attracted many of us to live here or to stay here, and it’s what keeps drawing people to Beaufort.”\r\n\r\nFor more information about this and other City of Beaufort projects, visit www.cityofbeaufort.org.', 'Beaufort planning staff reviews, tweaks Boundary Street Code', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-planning-staff-reviews-tweaks-boundary-street-code', '', '', '2014-10-02 09:44:29', '2014-10-02 13:44:29', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19026', 0, 'post', '', 0);

The study, published in the August edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared the rate of hip fractures in more than 400,000 Medicare patients who had cataract surgery with a matched group of patients who did not have their cataracts removed.\r\n\r\nOlder people are more likely to fall and break their hips or other bones, and recovering from such injuries is often difficult for them. Earlier studies have found that vision loss is a key reason for seniors’ higher risk of falling. When cataracts and other aging eye problems decrease older people’s visual sharpness and depth perception, they also lose the ability to maintain balance, stability and mobility.\r\n\r\nPeople should never be regarded as “too old” to have their cataracts removed. Other studies show that after cataract surgery, older people tend to sleep better, be less depressed, and lead more active, enjoyable lives.\r\n\r\nOverall, the greatest decrease in hip fracture risk was seen in patients aged 80 to 84 who had cataract surgery. Another notable group was patients with severe cataracts, for whom risk was reduced by 23 percent. Although U.S. health statistics show that women are more susceptible to hip fractures than men, this study found no significant gender-linked differences in fracture risk.\r\n<div></div>', 'Study: Hip fractures less likely after cataract surgery', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'study-hip-fractures-less-likely-after-cataract-surgery', '', '', '2014-10-02 09:47:25', '2014-10-02 13:47:25', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19032', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Upshaw, Ph.D., the chancellor of the University of South Carolina Beaufort, announced today she will retire after serving as USCB’s chief administrative officer for 15 years.\r\n\r\nDr. Upshaw sent an email to faculty and staff notifying them that she plans to retire on Aug. 15, 2015. She said it was her “distinct honor” to serve USCB for the past 31 years, beginning as an adjunct professor and concluding her career as its chancellor.\r\n\r\nIn 1999, Dr. Upshaw was appointed Dean of the University — the first woman to lead a campus of the eight institutions in the USC system. Her charge from the community was to grow the institution — to serve a historically impoverished population in a four-county region of the state that had no access to a public or private baccalaureate education. After a statewide campaign by Dr. Upshaw and several community leaders, the USC Board of Trustees and the South Carolina Commission for Higher Education voted to encourage USC Beaufort to pursue baccalaureate status in 2002.\r\n\r\nWith the institution’s change in role and mission now a publicly stated goal, Dr. Upshaw was promoted to Chancellor of USCB, reporting directly to the President of the University of South Carolina. She was the first woman to lead a senior, baccalaureate campus of the university system.\r\n\r\nUnder Dr. Upshaw’s leadership, the USCB strategic plan to gain baccalaureate status was approved by the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools. In 2004, the first baccalaureate graduates of the University of South Carolina Beaufort received degrees. In that same year, a new 200-acre campus opened at the gateway to Hilton Head Island.\r\n\r\nSince then, USCB has tripled its academic degree programs, doubled its FTE enrollment, opened its first on-campus housing (now serving up to 680 students), joined the NAIA Sun Conference, and fielded conference and national award-winning Sand Shark athletic programs in nine sports. The university’s two campuses serve a diverse student body of more than 1,700 students. Dr. Upshaw played a pivotal role in adding such new academic majors as Computational Science and Nursing, both of which are supported by extensive, state-of-the-art laboratories.\r\n\r\nDr. Upshaw served as a guiding force for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), which today accounts for more than 1,500 members. In total, they participate in more than 1 million course hours annually, which places USCB’s OLLI program in the top 10 in the country.\r\n\r\n“Jane Upshaw is a dynamic educator and leader. The size of her vision for USCB, the courage of her commitment to grow a small two year college into a regional comprehensive university and her 15 years of continuous leadership at USCB have yielded exceptional results. The realization of the dream of a full service baccalaureate university offering affordable access to students in the Lowcountry is her significant and enduring contribution to our state,” said Paula Harper Bethea, executive director of the SC Education Lottery and President of USC MyCarolina Alumni Association.', 'USCB Chancellor Upshaw to retire in 2015', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'uscb-chancellor-upshaw-to-retire-in-2015', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:36', '2018-07-12 15:00:36', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19081', 0, 'post', '', 0),

My intention behind this share was simple: To inspire others to feel confident in sharing their significant stories, too.  We all have at least one story, or more, that has allowed for great growth and lessons learned, so if it can support someone else, why not just share it?\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19084\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Awakenings-Brittney-Hiller.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19084\" alt=\"Yoga teacher Brittney Hiller\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Awakenings-Brittney-Hiller-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> Yoga teacher Brittney Hiller[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhile in conversation with a massage client, the idea to share my story popped into my mind and I took action to share it with others. It was already posted on the “What I Be” Project’s website, so why not share it again? I actually didn’t expect anyone to read it, I thought it would get lost down the Facebook scroll drainpipe. Plus, I posted it on a sunny Saturday afternoon, during Water Festival for cryin’ out loud!\r\n\r\nHowever, it didn’t get lost and it was read and shared by many and for that, I am thankful. The response I received from my share was overwhelming as I never expected it to reach so many — oh, the wonders of social media.\r\n\r\nApparently, my story touched a lot of people that day and inspired others to share their stories — not in a victimized way but rather an empowered, courageous way. Bravery lies in all of us and we must share our bravery to enliven another’s.\r\n\r\nI enjoy beginning the rippling effect of conversations and bringing to life hope and inspiration into everyone I meet, why on earth do you think I’m a yoga teacher? To just yell at people all day and remind them to breathe? No! I get to inspire others every day, and I love it!\r\n\r\nAs a quick side note, my husband had a different response to my decision to share my story on social media. He thought a share on Facebook equaled a simple feed to the ego. He asked, “How many likes will you get? Is that what you’re after?” I told him I was not; I was after the ability to share. Although more people than I ever imagined saw (and possibly read) my story, my intention was for people to read it.  When we share our story from the heart rather than the ego, it becomes heartfelt by those who need to hear the underlying messages and lessons learned.\r\n\r\nAlthough I am thankful for the love I received that day, as the memories came flooding back with fresh cleansing tears being shed, I am equally grateful for the overwhelming support, stories, and heartfelt confessions that my story inspired others to share.\r\n\r\nTruly grateful and thankful, I am excited to see the bravery in you light up as you begin to share those stories that maybe you buried thinking no one would want to hear and have been afraid to tell. You just never know who you will touch or what ripple effect you will begin.\r\n\r\n<i>Brittney Hiller is known as one of the happiest Yogini’s — she has practiced yoga for over a decade and can be found at every yoga studio in Beaufort.

In January, President and CEO Rick Toomey was elected chairman of the South Carolina Hospital Association’s board of trustees. Then in May, Beaufort Memorial general surgeon Dr. Tim Pearce was installed as president of the South Carolina Medical Association.\r\n\r\n“One of the advantages the hospital has is that it can attract top talent because Beaufort is such a desirable place to live,” said Schulze, a retired health care executive who moved to the Lowcountry in 1998. “For a community of our size, we have a tremendous pool of talent.”\r\n\r\nSchulze himself boasts an impressive resume that includes stints as vice president and elected corporate officer of Pfizer Inc., and president and CEO of Medeva Americas Inc., a NYSE-listed, London-based pharmaceutical company.\r\n\r\nThree years after moving to Beaufort, Schulze was named to the board of Broad River Healthcare, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports Beaufort Memorial. The following year, he joined the hospital’s nine-member board. His fellow board members elected him chairman in 2008.\r\n\r\n“For every one of his 12 years on the board, and most especially for his six as chairman, Jerry was unstinting — utterly unstinting — in his efforts on Beaufort Memorial’s behalf,” said BMH President Toomey. “Simply put, he used his prodigious talent, limitless energy and broad experience in the business of health care to make things happen and get things done.”\r\n\r\nDuring Schulze’s tenure, the hospital initiated a wide range of improvements, including a $14.5-million renovation and expansion of the emergency department, construction of a four-story medical and administrative building, purchase of the advanced da Vinci Si Surgical System, state approval to perform life-saving emergency cardiac interventions, and ongoing technological upgrades that have earned the hospital “Most Wired” status 11 years in a row by Hospitals &amp; Health Networks magazine.\r\n<div></div>', 'Former Beaufort Memorial Hospital board chairman awarded high honor', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'former-beaufort-memorial-hospital-board-chairman-awarded-high-honor', '', '', '2014-10-02 11:21:36', '2014-10-02 15:21:36', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19096', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Beth Lewis has been known to rise at 5 a.m. three times a week to walk the McTeer Bridge so she could work out before her son wakes up. Then she commutes to her job with the Town of Bluffton in the stormwater division, which often takes her into the marsh and waterways, sampling water quality and stormwater runoff.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19100\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The-Three-of-Us.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19100\" alt=\"The Lewis Family: Beth and Rob with their son Benjamin, 3.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/The-Three-of-Us-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> The Lewis Family: Beth and Rob with their son Benjamin, 3.[/caption]\r\n\r\nAs producer and director with The County Channel, Rob Lewis can be seen all around Beaufort County shooting local events and educational programs, even sports tournaments that last late into the evening.\r\n\r\nThey are also busy raising their energetic son, Benjamin, 3, who attends The Little Brown School in Port Royal. On the weekends, they all like to spend time at the downtown playground, at The Sands or exploring Hunting Island State Park.\r\n\r\nBeth said it is important to take pride in what you do. “We all have to work for eight hours a day so being happy and feeling like you are contributing to society is what makes it all worth it.”\r\n\r\nBorn and raised in Charleston, Beth and Rob both attended the College of Charleston, where they met through a mutual friend. Beth said, “Rob and his friends made their first full length feature called ‘The Hard Way Out.’ I tagged along with a friend for the party, and it was there we met. We dated for several years and married in 2008 at my old neighborhood dock with a view of Charleston.”\r\n\r\nThat film also proved to be the start of Rob’s career in video production. “‘The Hard Way Out’ was supposed to be a 5-minute project for a class. It turned into a 42-minute action-comedy-buddy-cop-epic movie. I haven’t put the camera down since,” Rob recalls.\r\n\r\n“I grew up in South Carolina watching ‘Nature Scene’ on SCETV. I was lucky enough to work for ETV, and meet some of the folks behind the scenes. I always admired the photography on that show,” Rob said.\r\n\r\nAt The County Channel, the main project he works on is “Coastal Kingdom.” They have a partnership with Tony Mills and the LowCountry Institute to produce the half-hour nature documentary series that Rob directs, shoots and edits.\r\n\r\nHe said one of his favorite memories was celebrating “Coastal Kingdom’s” Emmy Nominations and Telly Awards last year. “We had a big party with family and friends. And Beth made me a framed ‘Coastal Kingdom’ movie poster,” Rob said.\r\n\r\nWhile Rob captures the beauty of the Lowcountry on film, Beth plays an active role in monitoring and improving the area’s unique environment. As a Marine Biology major, Beth said she has been drawn to the outdoors since college. “I’ve always wanted a career in natural resources. Prior to working for the Town of Bluffton, I worked for SCDNR, and Beaufort County’s Solid Waste and Recycling Department, where I was introduced to the field of stormwater.”\r\n\r\nIt was the outdoors that brought the Lewis’ to Beaufort eight years ago when Beth got a job with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources at the Waddell Mariculture Center.\r\n\r\nHer current position requires several different duties, including water quality sampling, GIS field work, and stormwater education. “My favorite duty at work is the water quality sampling we do. Each week I strap on my snake boots and go out into the field to sample drainages that eventually lead to the May River. There’s nothing like being on the ground floor in this field,” Beth said.\r\n\r\nThis year, she also helped to organize the May River Cleanup.\r\n\r\nRob said the philosophy behind his work is simple: “I always just try to tell a good story with pictures.”\r\n\r\nHe produces videos for Beaufort County Schools; directs an educational series about astronomy called “The Night Skies of Beaufort County”; and has participated in the 48-Hour Film Festival in Savannah.\r\n\r\nAlthough their hectic schedule keeps them busy and on the go, the Lewis’ try to stay in focus and remember what they like best about Beaufort. They enjoy teaching Ben about his environment and exposing him to the outdoor opportunities that the Lowcountry offers.\r\n\r\nRob said, “We love the people we’ve met and had a chance to work with and learn from. Our friends and coworkers have helped strengthen our family and careers over the past eight years.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, they are preparing for the arrival of a new baby — a girl this time.

He specializes in performing and presenting programs on the African roots of American music and culture. He is a traditional acoustic Blues singer, guitarist, historian and songwriter with personal roots in the Civil Rights era and a great affection for cross-cultural exchange. A musician all his life, Ainslie took up guitar at age 15 after hearing Virginia Bluesman John Jackson play a couple of songs in the middle of a Mike Seeger concert in 1967.\r\n\r\n“I’ve spent the past 40 years looking for the right story — the right set of facts, the right bit of history — to introduce a song,” says Ainslie.\r\n\r\nThe performance will offer attendees an intimate, poignant reflection on a moment in history capturing the geography, the people and the music of the Mississippi Delta in the post Civil War period of American history. The evening’s history tour is presented as a series of vignettes coupling Ainslie’s voice with the visual artistry of a personal collection of original and archival photos from the Library of Congress.  As such, the performance honors the African and American roots of the tradition and presents a mesmerizing tour of the music and the history of the Blues.\r\n\r\n“The tradition of acoustic blues is designed to emotionally move the listener by handing down the knowledge and ‘telling’ the story of a people who were kicked around quite a bit that also had the tenacity to get up, sing and dance quite joyously in celebrating survival,” says Ainslie.\r\n\r\nComing of age during the Civil Rights era, Ainslie approaches the tradition with the care and respect it is due. He was welcomed and accepted as an equal by many of his mentors including George Higgs of Tarboro, NC; Etta Baker of Morganton, NC; John Jackson of Fairfax Station, VA; and Willie Malloy of Fayetteville, NC.\r\n\r\nIn addition to his active performance schedule, Ainslie has a decade of experience teaching elements of African and African-American music to students of all ages, both in the classroom and from the stage. He remains deeply committed to putting living performances in front of young people, hoping to inspire them to consider the tradition as their own medium of expression. Ainslie was as a teaching artist of African Roots in the Beaufort County School District in the 1990’s and performed in Beaufort’s Waterfront Park several years ago. During his visit to the Beaufort area he will deliver a teaching concert and an after-school workshop at Beaufort Academy.\r\n\r\nThe term “Blues” has roots that pre-date the music known as “Blues” by at least two centuries. The Blues also developed differently in different regions of the country so that people speak of ‘Texas Blues’, ‘Louisiana Blues’, ‘Chicago Blues’ and the like. But the music can be divided most broadly into two distinct styles: Delta Blues from the Mississippi Delta and Piedmont Blues, also known as East Coast Blues, which were played in the more eastern states, from Washington, DC all the way to Florida. Blues guitar styles gave rise to rock ‘n’ roll and fueled the folk revival of the 1960’s.\r\n\r\n“Scott is a powerful musician, a fine singer, and a masterful storyteller,” says Bonnie Hargrove, director at the Center for the Arts.\r\n\r\nAinslie has five solo CDs to his name with a sixth, “The Last Shot Got Him,” scheduled for release later this month. He maintains an active recording, performing and teaching schedule that carries him around the country, to Canada and Europe. Ainslie has received numerous awards and grants for his work documenting and presenting traditional music. These include grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and from the Folklife Section of the North Carolina Arts Council.\r\n\r\nAdmission to see Scott Ainslie’s perform is Adults, $25; Senior, $20; Students, $15.

While it’s Beaufort Memorial’s first time hosting the monthly event, it’s certainly not their first time hosting a party.\r\n\r\nIn fact, the hospital’s popular annual Girls Night Out celebration will be back for its fifth year with music, munchies and a whole new lineup of fun activities designed to help women improve their health. The program is being billed as a marquee event of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, offering women their “ticket” to wellness with a focus on breast care, OB-GYN health and an active lifestyle.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19123\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/nurnberg_131017_07224_5355.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19123\" alt=\"These women, along with hundreds of others, attended last year’s Girls Night Out sponsored by Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

This year’s fun event promoting women’s health will be Thursday, Oct. 16.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe free event will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16 on the second floor of the Beaufort Memorial Medical and Administrative Center on Ribaut Road (directly across the street from the hospital’s main campus).\r\n\r\nThe event has “sold out” in years past, so registration is recommended by\r\nOct. 9 in order to guarantee admission.\r\n\r\nVisit www.beaufortmemorial.org and click on the “Girls’ Night Out” banner on the homepage to reserve your ticket. (If you do not have web access or need additional information, call 522-5952.)\r\n\r\nAs they enter the venue, guests will be issued a ticket to all of the interactive displays and demonstrations, along with two beverage tickets for wine or beer.  Participants who visit all three health stations will have the chance to win prizes. The festivities also will include hors d’oeuvres and music.\r\n\r\n“We want to provide women with the information they need to make healthy lifestyle choices,” said Emily Harris, who is helping coordinate the event for BMH. “But we’re doing it in atmosphere that’s fun and entertaining.”\r\n\r\nAt the breast health area, attendees will be invited to play the popular cornhole “Tata Toss.” In this game, participants are asked to answer true or false to questions related to breast care by throwing a pink (of course) bean bag into one of two holes marked “myth” or “fact.”\r\n\r\nThe area will also include breast models used to teach women how to perform monthly breast self-exams, as well as a display explaining the difference between the new 3-D mammogram and standard mammography. General surgeon Dr. Deanna Mansker and plastic surgeon Dr. Audrey Klenke, as well as the staff of the Women’s Imaging Center, will be on hand to answer questions and provide information about breast health, while radiologist Dr. Christa Catalano will be available to discuss the benefits of the new digital breast mammography, a three-dimensional X-ray that provides a clearer, more accurate view of the breast.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19124\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/GNO-2-10-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19124\" alt=\"Beaufort Memorial gynecologist Patricia Thompson, MD, and breast nurse navigator Amy Hane discuss breast health with guests at last year’s Girls’ Night Out.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/GNO-2-10-2-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> Beaufort Memorial gynecologist Patricia Thompson, MD, and breast nurse navigator Amy Hane discuss breast health with guests at last year’s Girls’ Night Out.[/caption]\r\n\r\nTo help women determine if they’re at high risk for breast cancer, the hospital will present a mini seminar on the topic — one of three breakout sessions being offered during the event. The program also will include “Maybe Baby” for women thinking about getting pregnant and “Hot and Flashy,” a discussion on menopause.\r\n\r\nIn the active lifestyle station, internist Dr. Robert Vyge will join several of the hospital’s nutrition experts to offer advice about making smart food choices, knowing your healthy weight, and the importance of regular exercise and check-ups.\r\n\r\nThe all-star lineup of medical professionals expected at the event includes members of BMH’s new OB-GYN practice, Drs. Christopher Benson, Gregory Miller and Berniece Redmond. They will be joined by gynecologists Drs. Eve Ashby and Pat Thompson. They will be discussing topics such as minimally invasive hysterectomies, hormones and menopause.\r\n\r\nFor the first time, pediatricians and anesthesiologists — essential members of Beaufort Memorial’s cohesive Birthing Services team — will be participating. Drs. Faith Polkey, Nicole Broerman and James Simmons or a healthcare professional from his practice will be available to answer questions, as will one or more physicians from Low Country Anesthesia.\r\n<div></div>', 'Get ready for a night of healthy fun: Beaufort Memorial, The Island News team up for Girls Night Out', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'get-ready-for-a-night-of-healthy-fun-beaufort-memorial-the-island-news-team-up-for-girls-night-out', '', '', '2014-10-02 11:54:43', '2014-10-02 15:54:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19122', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19136, 4, '2014-10-09 07:57:15', '2014-10-09 11:57:15', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nTo our dogs, food is love — and security, affirmation, and reinforcement. When we give our dogs what I call “high-value” treats — foods that are especially sweet, meaty, and yummy-smelly — the message we want to deliver transports to them through the treat especially loud and clear. From a trainer’s viewpoint, I am ever appreciative of the ability of yummies to “classically condition” a dog to tolerate, and then even enjoy, circumstances that he previously found unsettling, frightening or threatening. It’s good to reward our dogs for a job well done. Plus, it’s fun for us to feed our dog friends something they’re crazy about.\r\n\r\nThe down side is that treats are probably the most likely of all dog-related items that we buy impulsively because the labels are so cute and the names are so clever. We don’t even think to glance at the ingredients. I would hope by now, faithful readers, that you routinely flip over any dog product bag to read the ingredient list, ever searching for the very best for your Best Friend. It would be counter-productive to spend time and energy finding (or making) the best healthy food for your dog if you’re going to trash your own efforts at health building with low-quality, additive-filled junk food treats. Read the label.\r\n\r\nYour mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find treats for your pet that do not contain stuff that is not good for him including artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.\r\n\r\n<b>Healthy treats do not contain:</b>\r\n\r\n<i>Artificial colors:</i> Dogs are somewhat aesthetically challenged: they don’t care whether their food is brown or blue. Artificial colors are absolutely unnecessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Artificial or low-quality palatability enhancers:</i> Avoid treats that use salt as a flavor-enhancer as well as treats that contain corn syrup, sucrose or ammoniated glycyrrhizin (a licorice derivative) and artificial flavorings like barbecue or smoke flavor.  Dogs are not as swayed as we are by the mysteries of barbeque and hickory.\r\n\r\n<i>Chemical preservatives: </i>BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin, potassium sorbate, sodium nitrate and calcium propionate are chemical antioxidants added to foods to extend shelf life and reduce fat spoilage. These chemicals are responsible for the “natural bacon-y” texture of some doggy treats and the reason why, if you left a bacon-treat on the dashboard of your car it would still be “bacon-y” pliable a year later.  BHA and BHT are also used to preserve carpet. The FDA (U.S Food and Drug Administration) regulates ethoxyquin as a pesticide and prohibits its use in human foods. However, it continues to be used in pet foods. Propylene glycol is such a uniquely nasty chemical preservative that it requires it’s own call-out. It is used in pet snacks (and some human foods) to keep them moist and chewy, and to prevent discoloration in preserved meats. It’s also used as the main ingredient in deodorant sticks, tattoo ink, and is used in newer automotive antifreezes and de-icers used at airports. An interesting use for this chemical is to create artificial smoke for theatrical productions and training exercises for firefighters.\r\n\r\n<b>Healthy treats contain:</b>\r\n\r\n<i>Whole-food ingredients:</i> This means whole grains rather than grain “fractions” — wheat rather than wheat flour, wheat bran or wheat starch. Look for whole, named meats or meat meals — chicken, chicken meal — rather than by-products, unnamed sources (“animal” protein) or fragments. By-products and fragments of what animal would be my first question.\r\n\r\n<i>Natural preservatives: </i>Vitamins C and E (the latter is often listed as “mixed tocopherols”) are effective and safe preservatives. Some treats contain no preservatives at all.\r\n\r\n<i>Natural sweeteners:</i> Applesauce, molasses or honeys are better than artificial sweeteners, by far.  While dog food should not contain added sweeteners, a treat should still be a treat. A piece of baked sweet potato should be all the sweet a dog needs.\r\n\r\nA treat for your dog should be a treat from all angles. Tasty, occasional, a little out of the ordinary and fun.  Try this: Next time you eat an apple, bite off a chunk and hand it to your dog. Guaranteed he’ll like that better than anything that comes in a plastic container.\r\n<div></div>', 'When a treat is really a treat', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'when-a-treat-is-really-a-treat-2', '', '', '2014-10-09 07:57:15', '2014-10-09 11:57:15', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19136', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Our 22-foot power boat is a great vehicle to tour the Lowcountry islands and to spend a day with new friends.\r\n\r\nThe six boat caravan rendezvoused in the Morgan River and headed toward the Atlantic Ocean. It was a beautiful, sunny day with calm water. We had our Garmin GPS chart plotter running so we could identify the marks and rivers along the way. We rounded Green Can 9 on the St. Helena Sound and headed for the swing bridge going into Harbor River.   The 15 foot clearance was enough for us to go under but we had to wait as the bridge opened and a couple of the taller boats went through. Then it was on to Story River towards Trenchards Inlet.  The scenery was captivating with large houses sitting out on small islands in the middle of green marshland and long docks leading out from hidden hunting cabins.  The wildlife was everywhere and the dolphins played on our wake.\r\n\r\nWhen we reached our destination near Bull Point, we anchored the boat and everyone broke out their chairs and food. After a while, we noticed black clouds slowly coming at us from Hilton Head Island. As the clouds approached, the two of us agreed that we should head home since this was our first time exploring the area. We did not want to get caught in a squall. The rest of the group stayed put and did not seem too concerned.\r\n\r\nOnce again we were fascinated by the scenery and failed to notice the depth sounder and the declining numbers until it was almost too late. My boat’s captain, Magellan, who has raced sailboats in the ocean and gone up and down the coast, suddenly slowed the boat to a crawl and said, “Oops, I’m not paying attention!” According to our electronic gadget we were deep into marshland and almost aground. Thank goodness for high tide.\r\n\r\nOnce we got back out into St. Helena Sound, we were in good shape but the storm was moving towards Beaufort.   We timed it perfectly so that just as we were coming into our creek, the clouds opened up and we got soaked! On the other hand, the group we left behind had a pleasant day of sunshine and fellowship.\r\n\r\nNext time, me and Magellan are going to trust the locals.', 'Magellan and me', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'magellan-and-me', '', '', '2014-10-09 08:03:26', '2014-10-09 12:03:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19141', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(19143, 4, '2014-10-09 08:08:06', '2014-10-09 12:08:06', 'Dear Mom,\r\n\r\nLast weekend brought the first truly cold evening and as I snuggled into my flannel pajama pants, I thought of you. This month is both of our birthdays and I remember picking and carving pumpkins and getting ready for my favorite holiday, Halloween.\r\n\r\nIt’s such a busy time of year and we have so much going on just at our house. The big news is that Selah started walking, and now she can’t be stopped. At 14 months, she’s as feisty and independent as ever, and she looks like a Mini Me, fat cheeks and all. It seems obvious that the sassy gene you passed down to me will live on for another generation, and also that we are totally in for it if she grows up to be anything like her stubborn mama and headstrong grandma.\r\n\r\nWhat can I say about Wolfe? He’s 2 and a half and way too smart for his own good. He’s quite the character and jokester and makes us laugh often. Not going to lie, he’s going through a bit of the Terrible Two’s as far as pushing boundaries (which he does well and often) but his fun, vivacious personality makes up for the sometime naughty behavior. He loves music and his guitar and his tastes range from The Avett Brothers to Katy Perry.\r\n\r\nDaniel and I are doing well, too. We still like to watch our family shows “Survivor” and “Amazing Race” together, and most days are divided up into work and taking care of little kids. Earlier in the year I was doing really good exercising and eating right, but recently I have fallen off the healthy bandwagon and increased my workload and overall feel like a crazy person.\r\n\r\nI’d like to think you’re looking down on us and can see your grandkids. They are, like, everything you could hope for — silly and smart and active and sweet (and also demanding and exhausting. Why didn’t you ever tell me kids were so much work?) Sometimes I hope you’re not watching us, especially when I’m tired or impatient and the kids are fussy or whiny and something will happen, like the cat puking on the carpet, that will just send me over the edge and I either freak out at any unsuspecting animal or human in my path or go lay on my bed and close my eyes and wish the day was over. I guess every mom has moments like that, and it’s during those times I wish I could talk to you most. We would have long conversations like we used to, and then you would try to give me advice and I would get mad and defensive and sometimes even hung up the phone because I didn’t want to listen to your help. Ha, just thinking of how I used to act like such a brat makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I’m sad because I’m sorry for putting you through such hell (especially as a teenager). And I’m laughing because it’s not until now, with my own kids, that I can understand what you must have been going through but will never be able to say thank you for everything you gave me and all the love you bestowed on me, even when I didn’t deserve it. I hope to be half as good a mom to my kids as you were to me.

For some people, “once in a while” comes more often than it does for others. But, sometimes, “once in a while” is worth the wait especially when the lucky wine that comes along is way, way better than a normal “once in a while” piece of luck. This week’s wine is good enough to be one of the best pieces of luck for a whole year.\r\n\r\nWe’re going to Oregon this week. This Pacific-Northwest state has a solid reputation, in the United States and around the world, for excellent wines. Even though grape growing and winemaking date back to the 1840’s, real commercial production began in the 1960’s. There are now over 400 wineries in Oregon, with more than 20,000 acres of vineyards. A huge tourism business has grown up around them. More than $100 million dollars are made every year from the Oregon wine industry and its tourists.\r\n\r\nOregon wines are sold as varietals, meaning  they are labeled for the grape variety in them. While the rest of the states producing wine in this country follow the federal 75 percent minimum law, Oregon, for most of its wines, requires 90 percent. That means a California Pinot Noir has to be made from a minimum 75 percent Pinot Noir. An Oregon Pinot Noir has to be at least 90 percent. (Because I know someone will ask, the Oregon 90 percent law does not apply to red and white Bordeaux varieties, red and white Rhône varieties, Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Zinfandel and Tannat. All good grapes, but not the ones Oregon is known for.) Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay are, by far, Oregon’s better grapes. The Oregon climate and soil are both well suited to these varieties.\r\n\r\nThere are three main, and large, AVAs in Oregon. The Willamette Valley AVA, the Southern Oregon AVA and the Columbia Gorge AVA, part of which is in Washington state. With over 5,000 square miles, the Willamette Valley AVA is the largest in the state and has more than half of the state’s 400 wineries located in it. These wines can get expensive but that’s what happens when an area has a reputation for some of the best Pinot Noirs in the world.\r\n\r\nThe Willamette Valley is located in northwestern Oregon where the majority of the state’s population live. In the 1820’s, the valley was widely touted as a “promised land” mainly because of the richness of its soil. Oregon City, in the valley, was the destination for many covered wagon trains. When reports of the Lewis and Clark Expedition were published, about 1807, a steady stream of settlers began to flow into the valley. Fur traders and mountain men came. During the 1820’s and 1830’s, the Hudson Bay Company controlled the fur trade, not just in the Willamette Valley, but in the whole of Oregon. In 1841, when the Oregon Trail “opened,” it was a road wide enough for all types of wagons and lorries, and many people came to the West Coast.\r\n\r\nThe Willamette Valley is surrounded by mountain ranges on the east, west and south. The valley floor is wide and flat and very fertile. Ice age floods filled the valley with rich soils swept up into swollen rivers. About 40 times, probably. This left the Willamette Valley layered with alluvial soils, rich volcanic and glacial soils — all great for grape growing.  This soil is about a half mile deep now. The climate in the valley is characterized by cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. A cooler, slightly wetter version of a Mediterranean climate. The growing season is long, 150 to 180 days. (Normal is 110 to 130 days.) This is a cooler climate than in California. There are six AVA sub-regions within the Willamette Valley AVA: Chehalem Mountains AVA, Dundee Hills AVA, Eola-Amity Hills AVA, McMinnville AVA, Ribbon Ridge AVA, and the Yamhill-Carlton District AVA.\r\n\r\nLeft Coast Cellars is our winery. Founded in 2003, Left Coast uses almost only estate grown grapes. They make Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and Syrah; many of these are grown on Oregon’s 45th parallel. Left Coast owns just over 350 acres, 130 of them planted with grapes. They specialize in single vineyard wines and emphasize sustainable farming and balancing everything with nature.\r\n\r\nThis week we will learn about two of their wines available in South Carolina. The first variety is the best from Oregon, the Left Coast Cali’s Cuvée Pinot Noir. This is not a single vineyard wine, but a blend of grapes from all their Pinot Noir plantings, named for the owner’s daughter. The blend is very diverse, though. Different clones of Pinot Noir, different sites for growing, at different elevations with different exact soil types — all things that make subtle nuances in their grapes. All things that give us layers and layers of textures and flavors in our glasses of this wine. It is full of ripe plum and cherry flavors, and mix in floral notes and a bit of spiciness. This wine’s texture is easy and smooth, and lush at the same time. Less than 9,000 cases of Cali’s wine are made each year. This is truly one of those Pinots that should cost more.\r\n\r\nOur second wine is the Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay. This is a blend of three different Dijon clones of Chardonnay, fermented and aged in French oak. One hundred percent Chardonnay. It is spicy, toasty, clean and crisp and minerally. Lime and pear and green apple flavors lead a long list of others. Tasted in a line of multiple other wines, this Chardonnay stands out. Sipping some at home from a nice glass is a major treat, a rare treat, since only 511 cases were made. But we are lucky because these wines are now available here in South Carolina.\r\n\r\nNow that we know about these wines, and how good they are, it will be exciting to know that each bottle costs only $19.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\nAlso, Left Coast Cellars is in the running for Winery of the Year, so we wish them the best of luck. And feel lucky enjoying our “once in a while” wine.  Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Lucky to find Left Coast Cellars wine', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lucky-to-find-left-coast-cellars-wine', '', '', '2014-10-09 08:09:03', '2014-10-09 12:09:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19145', 0, 'post', '', 0),

On June 11, 1911, the recruit depot came into operation based on a three-company contingent. With World War I raging, the recruit depot underwent a massive expansion.\r\n\r\nIn 1915, the hamlet of Yemassee opened its doors to young recruits arriving by train, coming from the farms, hills, and cities all over the eastern half of the country. These young men were on their way to a life-changing experience at Parris Island. More than 500,000 recruits, who passed through the train depot, were trained to be the best fighting force in the world. Close to 50,000 Marines gave their lives to protect and preserve our freedom and way of life. Those who have fallen will forever be on “eternal patrol” — Semper Fi.\r\n\r\nIn 2002, Roy Hughes, a local business man, thought something should be done for these young men who gave up the best years of their lives. He, with some friends, formed the “Yemassee Train Depot Marine Reunion.” With a lot of research and some hard work, the reunion got on track. Now in its 12th year, the reunion is planning to install a bronze plaque on the outside wall of the train depot for all to see. This plaque will honor the U. S. Marines who came to Parris Island via train.\r\n\r\nThe unveiling of the plaque will take place on Friday, October 17, at 2 p.m. at the Yemassee train depot.  The public is invited to this historic Marine event.  Due to an expected large turnout, seating will be available for dignitaries and the handicapped only.

Senior Wellness Celebration” on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Y, located at 1801 Richmond Avenue in Port Royal. The public is invited to join their choice of the Deep Water Hydrobics class starting at 10 a.m. or the “Fit Over Fifty” fitness class at 10:30 a.m. Then join certified personal trainer Bruce McCarthy for his seminar, “A Balancing Act: Fall Prevention and Stability” at 11:25 a.m., followed by music, light refreshments and more from 12:30 to 1 p.m. You do not need to be a member of the YMCA to attend.\r\n\r\nPhysical fitness for those age 50 and better is extremely important. Not only does regular exercise significantly decrease the chances of developing type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis, it is also an excellent way to banish the blues.\r\n\r\nYMCA Wellness Director Denice Davis says, “When you exercise, your body releases endorphins which help to alleviate anxiety and sadness.” By exercising regularly, you can keep your weight down which means less stress on your knees, hips, and lower back.\r\n\r\n“I’m inspired every day to see firsthand how exercise — no matter if it’s yoga, cardio, water aerobics or a combination — enhance the lives of our older Y members. Group exercise really encourages them to step out of their box and bring excitement and fun into their lives.” Davis added.\r\n\r\nResearch has also shown that exercise helps to lessen dementia and to improve memory as well.\r\n\r\nDuring the stability class, led by Bruce McCarthy, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the risks of falls, prevention, safety, and balance exercises. McCarthy holds specializations in both Senior Fitness and Weight Loss and is proficient in fitness assessments and program designs with concentrations in stability and balance.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested in more information about this event, please contact Denice Davis at 843-522-9622.

And, to face more truth, you are responsible for you.  There is no one else out there who knows you or can take care of you better than you — not your spouse, doctor, parent, partner, child, sibling, no one.  You are your greatest ally as well as your worst enemy.  Only you can get you in trouble and only you can get you out. It is you who make choices, both good and bad.  So, you may as well just sit down and introduce yourself to all of you and decide it’s time to be friends to begin working together for your highest good.  Simple, just not so easy, at least not at first.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19160\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Martha-Theravista.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19160\" alt=\"Martha O\'Regan of Thera Vista\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Martha-Theravista-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Martha O\'Regan of Thera Vista[/caption]\r\n\r\nAdmittedly, it was a bit of a bummer to become aware that I was a steward of this vessel that I inhabit each day. No more excuses, no more waiting for the miraculous alternative to exercising or cheeseburgers, no more “if only this, that or the other thing would occur, then I will be happy” statements.  I had to dig in there and re-connect with all of me.  “Mind, meet body ... Body, meet spirit ... Spirit, meet mind.”\r\n\r\nNow that the introductions were complete, we had to figure out our new arrangement. No longer could mind override spirit in getting my body in gear or choosing a healthy alternative to that cheeseburger. Now that we had re-cognized our relationship, body became more in tune to mind’s ramblings to ignore spirit. As an example, mind says, “Oh, just turn off that alarm clock and skip the workout, who will know anyway?” Uh hum, spirit will, then mind will have to hear about it all day, eventually fatiguing the body from carrying the guilt all day.  So not worth it, better to just listen to spirit and get up!  Ultimately body and mind feel better, and spirit is happy — it’s all good.  However, I must say, this goes on regularly within me but as long as I know spirit has my highest good in mind, I try to listen to it rather than my mind.\r\n\r\nWhat about you? Do you know all of you? Give it a try, have some fun with it.  Give each entity a name and establish a working dialogue amongst them — I have found that all three prefer kindness and ease more than annoyance and sarcasm.\r\n\r\nAs I continue to nurture this relationship within myself, I am continuously aware that this is my life no one else’s. Not in a selfish “it’s all about me” energy but an “oh my gosh, this is my life, what am I going to do with it?” energy.  I get to choose my hopes, dreams and desires and how am I going to achieve them and who will be a part of it. And, I get to relish in my own successes as well as learn from my own mistakes which allows spirit to remind me not to do that again.\r\n\r\nUnderstanding that my physiology is directly connected to my thoughts, emotions and perspectives allows me to choose wisely for my overall health and well-being. Being a steward of my vessel and getting to know all of me is no longer a bummer but rather a gift. I decided that taking time for me, doing what I love to do, being with who I love to be with and doing it authentically with kindness and ease was far better than where I was before my “ah ha.” There is still the daily debate amongst the three of us, but now it’s with delightful banter.\r\n\r\nI invite you to get to know all of you and enjoy the rest of your ride here on planet earth — since it’s where you are and you have to take you wherever you go anyway.  In Joy ...

(19168, 4, '2014-10-09 09:31:00', '2014-10-09 13:31:00', '<b>By Alan Schuster</b>\r\n\r\nThe USCB Center for the Arts presents “The MET: Live in HD” with Verdi’s opera based on Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 12:55 p.m.\r\n\r\n“With Macbeth, Verdi takes an immense leap forward: away from the conventional demands of the time, and towards dramatic truth and a musical style which combines psychological depth with a continuing abundance of that prolific and individual melodic gift which was never to desert him.” <i>Opera author Charles Osborne.</i>\r\n\r\nThe world premiere of the opera took place in Florence in 1847. It was very well-received by the critics, but the best indication of its success came from the audience when there were 38 curtain calls for Verdi, more than there were for all the singers combined.\r\n\r\nAs for the present, the Met’s production of “Macbeth” has once again become a hit with critics and audiences alike. And almost all of the praise has been rendered to the super-diva, Anna Netrebko, as Lady Macbeth.  Here are two notable quotables. The New York Times: “She is a soprano with star power in the best sense, a charismatic expressivity that pervades every element of her performance. The tour de force is the great sleep-walking scene. Ms. Netrebko ... sang the music hauntingly, shifting from phrases of breathy delicacy to bursts of steely intensity.” And  from The Classical Review: “Ms. Netrebko grabbed the role by the throat and did not let go. Her sleep-walking scene was so compelling, so riveting, that we could almost see the imaginary blood on her hands.”\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> A prediction is made by witches to Scottish generals, Macbeth and Banquo, that Macbeth will become the next King of Scotland as well as Thane of Cawdor and that Banquo, son of the current king, will become the father to future kings. Soon, Macbeth is appointed Thane of Cawdor. Lady Macbeth learns of the prophecy, but questions her husband’s will to take the throne. She encourages him to kill King Duncan, a guest at their castle, while he sleeps. He does.\r\n\r\nThe music: In a chilling duet “Fatal mia donna” (My fated lady) between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Verdi’s music and Shakespeare’s poetry combine to project drama of the highest order. Osborne adds that “If one can put one’s finger on a place in the score and say ‘Here is where Verdi lifts Italian opera out of its stagnant conventions,’ this is it.” Equally stunning is the finale with a tremendous chorus and ensemble vowing to punish King Duncan’s murderer.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> Macbeth, now the king, remembers the witches’ prophesy and decides that Banquo and his children must be put to death. Banquo is killed but his son escapes. During Macbeth’s accession banquet, Banquo’s ghost appears, frightening Macbeth. Lady Macbeth tries — but fails — to distract the guests.\r\n\r\nThe music: Lady Macbeth sings a finely-crafted aria, “The light is fading,” and later joins Macbeth in a magnificent banquet scene in which she leads guests in a rousing drinking song, frequently interrupted by Macbeth’s chilling visions of Banquo’s ghost.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III: </b>Macbeth re-visits the witches, learning that no man “born of woman” will ever harm him. Another warns him about Macduff, and a third says that no harm will come to him until Birnam Wood moves toward him. When Macbeth sees a vision of eight kings pass before his eyes, the last of which is Banquo’s ghost, he collapses. Soon, Lady Macbeth finds him and they make plans to kill Banquo’s son, and Macduff’s family.\r\n\r\nThe music: This brief act includes an impressive witches scene, both for the orchestration and the dramatic melodies they support. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth sing a stressful duet: “The hour of death and vengeance,” a fine piece, but one that falls a bit short of the dynamic duet of act one.\r\n\r\n<b>Act IV:</b> Macduff plans revenge, learning that his family has been killed. Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking, imagining blood on her hands and the murders that they have committed. After learning of his wife’s death, Macbeth waits for the advance of his enemies. Fearfully, he sees Birnam Wood approaching (actually soldiers camouflaged with branches), but then recalls that no man “born of woman” can hurt him. Macduff arrives, telling Macbeth that he was not born naturally, leading to a duel which Macduff wins. He then proclaims Duncan’s son Malcolm, as the new king of Scotland.\r\n\r\nThe music: Two fine choruses open and close the act. First and foremost is “Patria oppressa”, sung menacingly by the Scottish clansmen. Moments later, Lady Macbeth’s insinuating sleep-walking scene unravels, being both a soprano’s highlight as well as another Verdi salute to Shakespeare’s poetry. The “Victoria” chorus — including all those who are still alive — makes for a decisively strong finish.\r\n\r\nJoining Ms. Netrebko will be baritone-bass Zeljko Lucic (last season’s outstanding Rigoletto) as Macbeth; bass Rene Pape as Banquo and Joseph Calleja as Macduff.  Fabio Luisi conducts.\r\n\r\nNext performance will be Mozart’s comic masterpiece “Marriage of Figaro,” Saturday, Oct. 18.\r\n\r\nAll seats are general admission. Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10. Or order online at  www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.

During his thirty something years, however, he has also lived in Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, and New Orleans.  He has worked as a carpenter, studio assistant, maintenance man and insurance agent.  His journey as an artist began at his brother’s art gallery in Atlanta. That experience made the idea of being an artist realistic and sustainable.\r\n\r\nDescribing himself as a self-taught artist but also a protégé of his late brother and mentor, William Tolliver, Eric attended the William Tolliver School of Fine Arts and worked as a studio assistant for Tolliver over a period of several years. As he has aged, his passion for art has continued unchecked. He has obtained more knowledge and skill in the arts with every passing year.\r\n\r\nThe subject matter of Eric’s oil on canvas and pastel/acrylic works on paper are African American figures involved in the activities of daily life: working, loving, playing, music, and just living.  Stylized, sometimes cubist, freestyle, the way they embody the emotion of the activity evokes the iconic or mythic.  Eric embodies a futuristic and contemporary style to his artwork.\r\n\r\nEric describes himself as “self-taught”, but he has had formal education in a number of schools such as the William Tolliver School of Art in Atlanta, GA; Bauder College, Atlanta, GA; and The International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, Fla.\r\n\r\nEric’s works are strikingly reminiscent of that of his late brother, the highly accomplished artist William Tolliver.  Mary Mack says of the brothers, “I first met William Tolliver many years ago in the New Orleans Gallery Royale and immediately knew I had to own one of his works ... what a surprise to come across the works of his brother Eric Jones in 2010. I was struck by their stylistic simularity — especially the beautiful abstract/cubist jazz musicians painted by both William and Eric.”\r\n\r\nThe Red Piano Too Art Gallery is honored to present the works of Eric Jones as the featured artist for this yearly event.\r\n\r\nThe Red Piano Too annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit is free and open to the public.  Try not to miss this opportunity to meet an extraordinary artist.\r\n\r\nThe gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The gallery is located at 870 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920.

They share feelings of helplessness, isolation, guilt, fear and shame and often these incidents go unreported to law enforcement. Domestic violence affects women, men and children of all ages without prejudice.</div>\r\nAccording to the South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault website, an annual report based on information obtained from the most recent Supplementary Homicide Report data submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows the numbers for 2011, which  are the most recent statistics available, and the ranking is calculated according to the homicide rate per 100,000 people in the state.\r\n\r\n• 61 females were murdered by males in South Carolina in 2011, a total of 2.54 per 100,000. This is more than twice the national per capita rate of 1.17 per 100,000.\r\n\r\n• Four of the female homicide victims were 18 years of age or younger, and the average homicide victim age was 38 years old.\r\n\r\n• Of these victims, 22 were black, and 39 were white.\r\n\r\n• For those homicides in which the victim to offender relationship could be identified, 93% of reported homicides (52 out of 56 identified) were murdered by someone they knew.\r\n\r\n• Of the homicide victims who knew their offenders, 63% (33 victims) were murdered by a male that was their husband, common-law-husband, ex-husband, boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend.\r\n\r\n• South Carolina has been in the top 10 of women killed by men for the past 15 years, and this is the third time at the top spot in the nation.\r\n<div></div>', 'CODA commemorates Domestic Violence Awareness Month', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'coda-commemorates-domestic-violence-awareness-month-2', '', '', '2014-10-09 10:08:04', '2014-10-09 14:08:04', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19181', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We can finally open the windows and get some fresh air in the house!\r\n\r\nOur garden tasks for the month are all about clean up and preparation. Here are a few chores you can do now to reduce your labor in the spring and to keep your gardens healthy.\r\n\r\n<b>Roses:</b> If you haven’t already, stop fertilizing and pruning your roses this month. They need to finish their natural cycle by developing their rose hips. These are the hard round bulbish growths at the base of the flower. Once they have ripened (by February), you can harvest them for rose hip tea or other recipes. They are very high in vitamin C and worth saving or sharing.\r\n\r\nThe most important thing you can do for your roses now is to clean out the leaf material under them. Discard all diseased leaves. DO NOT THROW THEM IN YOUR COMPOST! This will reduce the chance of black spot and other fungal diseases later. One more thing, for all of our northern gardeners, in the South, we do not prune our roses back until Valentine’s Day. I know they can look a little raggedy, but please do yourself and roses a favor and get over it. If you cut them back, they will push out new growth and won’t have time to harden off before the frosts come.\r\n\r\n<b>Fruit crops:</b> There are still citrus fruits ripening on the trees, but most of our fruit trees and grapevines are finished for the year. Collect and discard all of your fallen fruit. This is also not a compost item. Decaying fruit attracts insects. Many of our banana plants got zapped last winter, but recovered nicely. If you were lucky enough to get bananas this year, wait to harvest until just before our first frost. Our growing season isn’t quite long enough to harvest them ripe, so they will still be very green. To speed up the process, place them in a brown paper bag with an apple.\r\n\r\n<b>Bulbs:</b> First, do yourself a favor and buy high quality bulbs. The cheap bulk bags are generally poor performers. You can plant bulbs now through November. If you have your heart set on tulips and hyacinths, you’ll need to refrigerate them for about six weeks before planting them in December or January. If you have room in the fridge, plant a small pot of paper whites to enjoy indoors. They will need a little more time in the cold (about three months). Flowers will appear in about 2-3 weeks at room temperature. Daffodils are still the hardiest bulbs we can enjoy year after year. Just remember that the squirrels really love them too. Plant your bulbs under chicken wire or other barrier that they can penetrate but the squirrels can’t. You can also try planting bulbs amid your thick groundcover. Squirrels usually don’t dig in groundcover.\r\n\r\nThere is still time to plant your winter food crops. If you missed the opportunity to plant by seed, the garden centers are full of potted plants. Lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and collards are just a sample of what is available this time of year.\r\n\r\nKeep collecting your flower seeds and place them in paper envelopes to keep them dry. Label everything! If you want to sow some flower seeds now for spring, four-o-clocks, poppies, cornflowers and larkspur are a perfect choice.\r\n\r\n<i>You may send Susan your questions and garden wisdom to theriverangel.ss@gmail.com.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>RECIPE OF THE MONTH: The No-See-Ums are really waking up with the cooler temperatures so I am republishing last month’s recipe. Your sanity may depend on it!</b>\r\n\r\n<b>• 1 oz. Cinnamon Leaf Oil, about $5 online</b>\r\n\r\n<b>• 8-10 oz. Witch Hazel, about $1.50</b>\r\n\r\n<b>That’s it! Put it in a spray bottle and shake! Adjust the recipe for strength. Test for sensitivity to the cinnamon, don’t use it straight.

The fabulous food, fun decor and friendly service represent the best of what a local restaurant should be. Owners Jeff and Dawn Harris continue to create outstanding dishes and, as they say, it’s where great American food meets Southern hospitality. Whether for lunch or dinner, Moondoggies is an experience that should not be missed.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19206\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC_0048.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19206\" alt=\"Roasted red pepper artichoke bake with tortilla chips.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC_0048-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Roasted red pepper artichoke bake with tortilla chips.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Lunch Bunch ordered a variety of appetizers because they are all so good. The coconut fried shrimp is excellent, and the fried pickle chips are so addicting, even for someone like me who doesn’t usually like pickles. But our favorite was the Roasted Red Pepper Artichoke Bake served with crispy tortilla chips.\r\n\r\nFor the main meal, Irene had the lump crab cakes served with hush puppies, remoulade sauce and asparagus spears. There’s a reason the crab cakes are a house specialty because they are super.\r\n\r\nKim Turner tried the Beef on Weck sandwich — thin-sliced roast beef dipped in savory hot au jus and piled high on a Kummelweck roll.\r\n\r\nApril and Kim Newton both ordered the fajitas special really liked it.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19207\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC_00491.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19207\" alt=\"Fried coconut shrimp appetizer\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC_00491-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Fried coconut shrimp appetizer[/caption]\r\n\r\nI ate every bite of my Mahi Mahi sandwich, grilled to perfection on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, onion and homemade tartar sauce. My side of pimento mac n’ cheese was also yummy.\r\n\r\nElizabeth loved her hearty salad made with mixed greens and tomatoes and her choice of grilled strip steak and Bleu cheese crumbles.\r\n\r\nThe desserts are homemade daily and can vary, but they are all so scrumptious, so save room. We sampled Chocolate Bread Pudding, a piece of Peanut Butter Pie, Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake and Banana Pudding — which we all agreed was a must-have.\r\n\r\nMoondoggies Cafe &amp; Grill is located at 10th Street and Paris Avenue, downtown Port Royal, SC.

Since she was a little girl, she’s looked at the positive in people and in circumstances.\r\n\r\nWhen she was young, her mother, Shirley Nilsen, gave her some advice that she has carried with her for a lifetime. She said, “Always appreciate what the person in front of you is saying. You will grow by listening to their story.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19225\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"198\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Julia-Wendy-and-Abbie-Pollitzer.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19225\" alt=\"Wendy Pollitzer, center, with her two daughters Julia, left, and Abbie.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Julia-Wendy-and-Abbie-Pollitzer-198x300.jpg\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" /></a> Wendy Pollitzer, center, with her two daughters Julia, left, and Abbie.[/caption]\r\n\r\nWendy took those words to heart and developed a personality that parallels her career. Her endearing asset, professionally as a writer and personally, is her ability to understand people, all people, no matter the degree of diversity. She can easily blend carefree conversation with sensitivity and depth, while finding similarities between the person with whom she’s speaking and her own experiences.\r\n\r\nWhen she started working for The Island News in 2010 as editor, she gained the attention of readers by writing articles about what mattered most to the Beaufort community. She wrote and compiled stories about all the good, avoiding the negative, and the response was tremendous.\r\n\r\nShe had already published two books in Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series about Isle of Palms and Port Royal. She was working at Hunting Island State Park as a naturalist when she decided that she missed writing, and moreover, realized she really enjoyed packaging words and images together to tell the story of a community.\r\n\r\nAt The Island News, Wendy was a cheerleader for Beaufort and wrote more than 100 articles about people and places North of the Broad.\r\n\r\nAbout a year and a half ago, she decided she wanted to write and work on another book. So, she started brainstorming ideas.\r\n\r\nWendy is a coastal girl, born and raised in Mt. Pleasant, SC, and a resident of Beaufort since 1999. Since her parents are from Anderson and Barnwell counties, she was also bred to be a “Southern” lady, learning from an early age to be respectful of her environment, her elders and her community. She was raised as most children are in the South — to be polite and to be proud.\r\n\r\nShe loves everything about growing up Southern and living life to its fullest. But Wendy said one day she found herself wondering, “What is it about the South?”\r\n\r\nShe pondered the question for a while. Is it the climate? Is it the people? Is it the slower pace of life? Is it the food? She realized that, yes, these all defined this special place. But the question, “What is it about the South?” was too profound to be answered with a single voice.\r\n\r\nThat was it. That was the next book. Wendy, along with her publisher, Lydia Inglett, decided to compile essays from people of note across the South to answer that very question and unite their expressive words with stunning photography descriptive of the Southern region.\r\n\r\nThe name of the book? “SOUTH: What it means to be here in heart or in spirit.” The title says it all.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19226\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Wendy-dipping-her-own-Makers-Mark-bottle-at-the-distillery-in-Loretto-KY.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19226\" alt=\"Wendy is seen dipping her own Maker’s Mark bottle at the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, during her book tour.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Wendy-dipping-her-own-Makers-Mark-bottle-at-the-distillery-in-Loretto-KY-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Wendy is seen dipping her own Maker’s Mark bottle at the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, during her book tour.[/caption]\r\n\r\nSOUTH was officially launched Tuesday, October 7 at a party hosted by Lowcountry Produce. Wendy, excited about the reality of her dream coming true, was all smiles.\r\n\r\n“Besides graduating from Clemson and the birth of my two daughters, this day is the proudest of my life. I realized what I wanted to do professionally, amidst some adversity in recent years, and did it,” she said.\r\n\r\nWendy has two daughters, Abbie in sixth grade and Julia in fourth grade at Lowcountry Montessori School.\r\n\r\n“Being a good mom to Abbie and Julia is my first priority, always. Watching them see this book come to fruition is more gratifying to me than the book itself. They asked to bring the book to school to show their teachers and friends the day after I received my first copy. At that moment, I received my greatest reward for all of this hard work,” smiles Wendy.\r\n\r\nThis project was a labor of love for Wendy. She complied it in her spare time while working as the Marketing and Development Director for Friends of Caroline Hospice.\r\n\r\n“I can’t thank Friends of Caroline Hospice enough for accommodating my schedule to give me the opportunity to pursue my dream. Without their support, I wouldn’t have been able to complete this project,” explains Wendy. “They are an organization near and dear to my heart and always will be.”\r\n\r\nLast April, Wendy went on a trip she called her “Solo Southern Expedition,” meeting many of the contributors to SOUTH. She wanted to shake the hands of the folks who took the time to write meaningful and heartfelt essays about their hometowns.\r\n\r\n“Meeting someone through email just isn’t the Southern way,” says Wendy.\r\n\r\nIn six days, she was in seven states across the South — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and back home to South Carolina. It was the trip of her lifetime, and she became even more aware about the South’s beauty, simplicity and grace.\r\n\r\nShe admits, however, that Beaufort is the most special of them all. Yes, because of the people. Yes, because of the landscape; and yes, because of the climate. But most of all, because it’s home.\r\n\r\n<b>Meet the Author at City Java for book signings on the mornings of October 15, 22 and 29, from 7 to 9 a.m., for Wednesdays with Wendy.

This prolific duo were best friends at Beaufort High School, where they dreamed about writing a best-selling novel together immediately after graduation. After moving away from Beaufort and losing touch, Jack and Cyndi re-united 32 years later, thanks to Facebook, and in 2012 that dream became a reality when they self-published their first book, “Murder In Twos and Threes.” That book was the first in the “Task Force” series, made the Amazon best sellers list for five weeks in a row, and has now been picked up by PDMI Publishing, which is set to release both of their first two books with new covers and redesigned interiors, and also as Kindle versions. The publishing house has also agreed to release the rest of the pair’s books as well.\r\n\r\nSince ARTworks was the site of the original “Murder In Twos and Threes” book release, Jack and Cyndi though that it would be the perfect place to celebrate their new relationship with PDMI and the re-release of their first books, as well as letting Beaufort readers get a sneak peak at excerpts from their upcoming works.\r\n\r\n“Death of a Designing Diva” is being directed by Sue Stanny as a fundraiser for ARTworks and will be performed by a cast that includes both professional and non-professional actors who are donating their time to the project. Auditions were held in late August, and since then the cast has been rehearsing weekly in preparation for amusing local audiences with this 1930s radio play style mystery.\r\n\r\nThere are several twists to the play that will make it an unusual performance.

Not only did she choose teaching as her career for 26 years, but shortly after she retired, and was working with the University of South Carolina, she took a position as executive director of Born to Read, a local non-profit dedicated to showing new mothers how they could foster their children’s love of books and hence increase their early language skills.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19255\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Taggart-with-vols-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19255\" alt=\"Former Born to Read Director Chris Taggart (center) with two of the original  volunteers she recruited at Beaufort Memorial, Corinne Hagood and Ginger Bolden.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Taggart-with-vols-3-300x239.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" /></a> Former Born to Read Director Chris Taggart (center) with two of the original<br />volunteers she recruited at Beaufort Memorial, Corinne Hagood and Ginger Bolden.[/caption]\r\n\r\n“It was a natural fit for me,” she said.  “I mean what’s not to like about helping mothers learn the importance of reading to their babies regularly?  It’s a win-win for everybody — me included! And it’s not rocket science, just cuddling up with your little one and enjoying a book together.”\r\n\r\nA native of Glasgow, Scotland, Taggart became a teacher, married a U.S. Marine and moved to the United States. For 26 years, she taught as an elementary teacher at schools sponsored by the Department of Defense. After she retired from teaching at Laurel Bay Schools, she was looking around for what she might want to do next.\r\n\r\nWhen she heard about a new program in 2002 that promoted early literacy starting at birth, she was interested in finding out more. The program, called Born to Read, had just received private funding to hire a full time executive director.  The minute the board members met Chris, they knew she was the right person to build this new, early literacy program.\r\n\r\n“Born to Read offered everything I believe in,” said Chris. “Parents are the child’s first and best teachers. If we can teach new parents how important it is for them to read to their children daily, the children will be that much better prepared to learn at school.”\r\n\r\nHer philosophy was recently confirmed in a paper published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and touted in the national news.  It stated the importance of reading and interacting with babies from birth, pointing out that the result is children who are ready to learn at every age.\r\n\r\n“Of course, this makes perfect sense,” said Nancy Gilley, who chairs the Born to Read Board. “But, hearing that the American Academy of Pediatrics supports and encourages early literacy from birth just validates our assumptions and the need for our program.”\r\n\r\nTwelve years and thousands of babies later, Taggart decided earlier this year it was time for someone else to take on the job of director of the program.  In March, the Board accepted her resignation.\r\n\r\nDuring her tenure as director of Born to Read, Taggart recruited a dedicated group of volunteers to visit new mothers in hospitals in Beaufort and Hilton Head. Once she had the opportunity to convey the purpose of the program, finding volunteers was not a problem.\r\n\r\n“I’m really proud of these ladies,” Taggart said.  “They are so dedicated to our mission. They make the program a success.  Of course, all of our volunteers are important, but I feel these ladies deserve some sort of recognition for their dedication. They are true believers!”\r\n\r\nIn fact, four of the current volunteers at Beaufort Memorial — Corinne Hagood, Ginger Bolden, Anne Kennedy, and Liz Key — have been with the program since it started in 2002.  A fifth original volunteer, Linda Priest, decided to leave at the same time Chris stepped down as executive director.\r\n\r\nHappily, Chris isn’t leaving the program, but will stay on as a volunteer.\r\n\r\nIn April, the board hired her replacement, Terri Sassmann, formerly a volunteer coordinator at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, who recently moved to Bluffton.\r\n\r\n“I really like her,” said Taggart. “I think the board did a good job finding someone to take this important program to the next level. And, I’m looking forward to her leadership.”\r\n\r\nSince Sassmann took over the program, she has expanded the program to Coastal Carolina Hospital with the recent opening of their new Birthing Center.\r\n\r\n“I had to hit the ground running,” she said. “I’m busy finding enough volunteers to be sure we can visit every mom who delivers their baby in Beaufort and Jasper counties.”\r\n\r\nTo learn more about Born to Read, or if you are interested in volunteering, you can contact Terri Sassmann at 843-379-3350, or visit their newly redesigned website at www.borntoread.org.\r\n<div></div>', 'Longtime Born to Read director steps down', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'longtime-born-to-read-director-steps-down', '', '', '2014-10-09 11:37:59', '2014-10-09 15:37:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19254', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I told them the patient was 85 years old and too weak to drive himself to Charleston.”\r\n\r\nIt’s that kind of compassion that prompted a co-worker to nominate Raines for the prestigious DAISY Award, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for patients and their families.\r\n\r\nWith some last-minute scrambling, her supervisors were able to rearrange the award ceremony for the following day. Only it turned out it was her day off.\r\n\r\nUndeterred, they concocted a meeting Raines would have to attend. When she walked into the LifeFit Wellness Center, she found the meeting room decorated with balloons and her co-workers and family gathered for a celebration.\r\n\r\n“I was totally shocked when they gave me with the award,” said Raines, who works with patients recovering from heart attacks. “It was amazing!”\r\n\r\nThe 25-year nursing veteran was presented with the DAISY Award trophy — a hand-carved sculpture titled “A Healer’s Touch” — along with an engraved vase full of daisies.\r\n\r\nGraham Jones, a clinical exercise physiologist at LifeFit Wellness Center, nominated Raines for the award, citing her unflagging dedication to her job.\r\n\r\n“She has spent many weekends and afternoons off the clock meeting with current and past patients, helping them with the physical, emotional and financial stresses that come with having a heart attack,” he said. “So many of her patients continue to work out at the Wellness Center just to keep Kim in their lives.”\r\n\r\nAnyone can nominate a BMH nurse for the DAISY Award. Applications are available throughout the hospital.\r\n\r\n“I’ve always had an open door for my patients to come in and talk,” Raines said. “I just feel it’s part of my job.”\r\n<div></div>\r\n</div>', '‘Extraordinary’ nurse receives award', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'extraordinary-nurse-receives-award', '', '', '2014-10-09 11:56:23', '2014-10-09 15:56:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19275', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19280, 4, '2014-10-15 20:44:27', '2014-10-16 00:44:27', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nThe decision to get a dog is not something to be taken lightly.  While the sweet face of a puppy can tug our heartstrings into an impulse buy, we need to know, up front, the significant investment of time and money that little charmer will require. Socializing and training a new puppy is time consuming and, occasionally, frustrating. Working to provide all that is necessary to successfully integrate a dog into a family environment can increase the amount of stress on the family <i>and</i> the dog,\r\n\r\nThis is especially true if the primary caregiver(s) are working outside the home and/or have young children, are themselves elderly or infirm, have an elderly parent, or other persons and pets to care for. This does not mean that it cannot be done. But, prospective dog owners often underestimate the investment of time, energy and money required. Making this decision impulsively can lead to frustration, disappointment, and possibly result in the surrender of the dog to a shelter or rescue.\r\n\r\nThe first question you should ask yourself honestly is: <b>Why do I (we) want a dog?</b> Is your answer:\r\n\r\n<b>For my children: </b>Trust me, this will be your dog.  After the honeymoon period the kids may play with the dog, occasionally.  Guaranteed, they will whine about dog-related responsibilities, doing them grudgingly, only after significant prodding from you. As children’s interests and activities change over the years, their level of involvement with the dog will most likely be inconsistent, at best.  Additionally, your children, especially, young children, will need to be trained in how to behave with the dog and will need to be supervised when with the dog.\r\n\r\n<b>For protection: </b>The only time is it a good idea to get a dog for the purpose of protection is in professional or agricultural situations and only when the owner is humane and knowledgeable of dog behavior and dominant dog handling.  In all other situations an alarm system or security fence are much more appropriate and effective.\r\n\r\n<b>To breed puppies: </b>The breeding of dogs is a responsibility not to be taken lightly.  If it is not your intention to remain responsible for all of your puppies for their entire lives, including being willing to take back and care for those that may find themselves homeless, do not enter into this endeavor.  If you are planning on breeding for profit, understand that there are much easier, more profitable and more ethical ways to make a buck.  Dogs are living beings and dog breeding requires a significant investment of time, money, labor, knowledge, both academic and practical, patience, and emotional fortitude, to be done responsibly and humanely.  Visit the county shelter and witness the problem yourself.  Look at the faces of the homeless dogs and talk to the volunteers and staff who, all too often, must take that final walk with them.\r\n\r\n<b>Because BreedX is cool, was in a movie, is unique and exotic, is free or cheap: </b>One of the worst reasons to get a dog is because of their physical appearance or popularity due to a movie or TV show.  Often, these venues feature exotic, rare or unique breeds that are, in the overwhelming majority of pet situations, unsuitable as companions.  Also, remember that a free dog is never free. When your friend, coworker or relative offers you one of Fluffy’s puppies think hard about the necessary investment over the next 16 years.\r\n\r\nDogs require significant financial, physical, time, and environmental resources.  <b>Dogs are not the fulfillment of ANY fantasy. </b> The responsibilities are legion through all stages of dog-hood and continue on after you’re gone. How many dog owners, for instance, have a plan, in writing, for the dog in case of their disability or demise? Your dog should become your Best Friend, after all.  Make the right decision at the right time for the right reasons and for the best possible outcome.\r\n<div></div>', 'Why get a dog?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'why-get-a-dog', '', '', '2014-10-15 20:44:27', '2014-10-16 00:44:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19280', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Eating the fresh vegetables, the assorted seafood and desserts such as Key Lime Pie and Lemon Squares have expanded my family menu. One of the most popular dishes around appears to be the gumbo. After eating Seafood Gumbo at various restaurants, Chicken Gumbo from the grocery store and Shrimp Gumbo from the seafood market, I decided that I needed to find a good recipe. Although I have found the ball jars with gumbo at the local farmers markets, I wanted to make my own from scratch.\r\n\r\nI typed in “Gumbo” in the search engine and found pages and pages of recipes and instructions. It didn’t take long to discover that okra was found in all the soups. I did a little research and found that the term “gumbo” is a traditional word for okra, which I hadn’t known. Further research revealed that it is thought that the term gumbo is derived from the West African Bantu word “Ki ngombo”.  So technically, it is okra soup or stew.\r\n\r\nThe recipes provided some interesting hints, like always sauté the onions and okra before you put them in the soup stock and fresh okra is a must.  When I spoke to my butcher in the local grocery store, he told me which Andouille sausage to use and he said when making Shrimp Gumbo, always use fresh shrimp.  He said that the freshness of all the ingredients makes a difference in the flavor. I also got another hint in a book I recently picked up at the library titled  “Sanctuary Cove” by Rochelle Alers. In the fictional novel, the main character learns the secret to a good gumbo: Fry the okra in oil to reduce the coating before you put it in the soup. This, she is told, is the true Gullah secret to great Shrimp Gumbo.\r\n\r\nBut the best advice about my quest for the best Gumbo recipe came from a discussion with a local shrimper.  He shook his head at me and said, “Never mind about a recipe. It’s who made it that’s important. There was never any better Shrimp Gumbo in the whole world than my grandmother’s  Shrimp Gumbo. She threw everything in the pot and served it with corn bread.”\r\n\r\nI thought about his comments and realized that no matter what recipe I use,  my grandchildren will remember that they had the best Shrimp Gumbo ever from their grandmother.

There was no place to park in downtown Beaufort, so people walked from many locations to enjoy this festive occasion. There were tourists, locals, business people, families and even lots of pet dogs. It was hyped up to be such an auspicious occasion that one would not want to miss it!\r\n\r\nWell, there were only seven boats in the entire parade to represent all the boat owners, businesses and waterfront property owners in Beaufort, which is surrounded by water. There are docks and boats everywhere you look in our town, but only seven bothered to decorate and ride in our battery for the holiday parade of boats! Needless to say, it was over in seven minutes and a disappointment to all the spectators who dressed up, spent money at local restaurants to eat, bought gas, put money in parking meters, stressed out due to lack of parking, bought libations, coffee, tea, ice cream, etc., even souvenirs and trinkets.\r\n\r\nWe are in awe of the fact that with all the boat owners in “Beautiful Beaufort By the Bay” that there was such a lack of participation for such an auspicious occasion to create pleasant family memories for our town. Maybe it should be mandatory for the boat owners who dock right at our waterfront and tie up our waterways and contribute to the pollution of our Beaufort waterfront property downtown. They should feel obligated to participate in the downtown festivity of the “Parade of Boats.” After all, they dock downtown all year-round, so why not decorate for the parade and show appreciation by being part of the event.\r\n\r\n<b>Disappointed Citizens of Beaufort, SC</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Sometimes The Salvation Army doesn’t act very neighborly </b>\r\n\r\nLast Saturday, our neighborhood held an event to get to know one of the candidates running for Beaufort City Council. It was nothing fancy, big or raucous, just a chance for neighbors to get together and learn more about the issues in this upcoming election with chips, hot dogs and beverages.\r\n\r\nWe figured most people would walk, but anticipating that some may choose to drive, we offered up a suggestion that they could find a few parking spaces at the Salvation Army. Living next to the Salvation Army for eight years, we know they do not use the building on Saturday evenings, and we have informally used it in the past during neighborhood events without incident.\r\n\r\nApparently, word travelled back to the powers-that-be and they told us we are not to use the parking lot. The irony is that the Salvation Army, a civic organization, is forbidding use of their parking lot for a civic event.\r\n\r\nWe understand that it is their property and they have every right to restrict its use. We also understand there are other charities to donate to this holiday season.\r\n\r\n<b>North Street Neighbors</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Beaufort is the best place to start a small business\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n“I believe that Beaufort is the best place to start a business because it is big enough to provide good word of mouth and small enough not to be run out by the large box stores.” Owner of Beaufort Dog, Kelley Blackston, believes the secret to her business success is the atmosphere and people of Beaufort. She is an expert in behavior and training (a local dog whisperer).\r\n\r\nShe and her husband, Jason, started as a part-time hobby out of their home on Lady’s Island. Since, she has teamed up with her marketing consultant husband, and groomer Micheal Moreria to create an all inclusive dog spa, daycare, boarding, and training business. It only took one year to win over the first vote of best pet boarding and grooming. Beaufort Dog was voted best five years in a row this year, proving that the small, family business thrives in Beaufort, SC. It is also still reasonable to get a decent space downtown.\r\n\r\nRecently, the owners have expanded, with a small equine staff and boarding services in Seabrook, and start-up marketing services for other start-up businesses seeking the same results. They have also added a third child in addition to many, many furry ones into their family.\r\n\r\nThe Blackstons and Beaufort Dog want to thank Beaufort County for being so small-business and family friendly.', 'Letters to the Editor', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'letters-to-the-editor-7', '', '', '2014-10-15 20:51:23', '2014-10-16 00:51:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19287', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(19289, 4, '2014-10-15 20:53:37', '2014-10-16 00:53:37', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nDuring the past couple weeks, we have featured some new wines, all of which would make good choices for the holidays. Even though they seem far away and many people have not yet made final plans, the reality is that the holidays are sneaking up quickly, and that means we’re going to need some good wines (definitely plural). Instead of waiting for the last minute to pick these crucial additions to our holiday meals, we can do our research and learning and tasting now and plan in advance for selecting the best wines.\r\n\r\nThis week, we travel to Germany to find out more about a particularly notable Riesling. Most German wines are produced in the Western part of the country; their vineyards are all based along rivers, mainly the Rhine and its tributaries, with surrounding mountains protecting them from inclement weather. As a whole, Germany is farther north than most other wine regions — above the 50th parallel — and this northern location has led German wine producers to rely on suitable grape varieties, those more resistant to frost and those that ripen earlier, and to develop many crossed grapes.\r\n\r\nIn the steep valleys, vineyard soils are slate. The slate can absorb the sun’s warmth and keep the grapes warmer for more hours. On the rolling hills, the soils are mostly lime and clay.  The best vineyards are on steep hills, so plantings are limited and harvesting is difficult and expensive. Most of the vineyards face toward the south and southwest for maximum sun exposure for the vines. There are slightly more than 250,000 acres of vineyards in the country and there are 13 defined wine regions.\r\n\r\nGrape growing and winemaking date back to about 70 AD, when the Romans controlled what is now Germany. Trier, which is considered to be the oldest city in Germany, was founded as a Roman garrison on the banks of the Mosel River. It is possible that wild vines were cultivated before “vitis vinifera” vines were brought into the area. Despite archeological finds of pruning knives and other tools, not much is known about the style of German wines under the Romans. After the Romans, Charlemagne is thought to be responsible for bringing viticulture to the Rheingau. The eastward spread of viticulture was connected to the spread of Christianity. Many of the grape varieties that are still associated with German wines date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. There is documentation of Riesling from 1435 and of Pinot Noir from 1318.\r\n\r\nAround 1500, German vineyards had probably expanded to their greatest extent, there were more then than now even. (The decline is attributed to beer becoming the every day drink of the country.)\r\n\r\nThe secularization of most of the vineyards occurred in Germany, like many other countries in Europe, in the 19th century. In 1775, an unexpected but important wine event took place. At Schloss Johannisberg, a courier delivering permission to start the harvest was delayed by two weeks. When the Riesling grapes were harvested, they had been affected by “noble rot,” a mold on over-ripe grapes, which caused them to make sweeter wine — very, very good sweet wine. This began the intentional late harvests, with the wines referred to as “Spatlese,” German for “late harvest.” In 1971, German wine laws defined their various stages of harvesting and the wines from them.\r\n\r\nThe Mosel River, and its tributaries the Saar (pronounced “sour”) and the Ruwer (“roover”), make up one of the best known of Germany’s wine regions. Labels on wines from this area are labeled with the three names. This region is dominated by Riesling grapes, grown on slate soils. The best are grown in very steep sloped vineyards and their wines are light and crisp with high acidity and a definite mineral quality. There are dry wines produced, but this is the only region that sticks to Riesling wines with some residual sweetness as their standard style.\r\n\r\nSo what about Riesling makes it the great variety of German wines? This is an aromatic white variety, with flowery, almost perfumed aromas. It has high acidity and is used to make wines ranging from very dry to semi-sweet to sweet to sparkling. It is considered to be one of the “top three” white grapes, along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. It is clearly influenced by where it is grown, including soil type and climate. In Germany, it accounts for 20 percent of the total planted grapes. Riesling wines are often drunk when they are young, but many of its wines are capable of aging well — some dry wines for up to 20 years and some sweet ones for up to 30 years. The town hall in Bremen, Germany, has Riesling in barrels that dates back to 1653 (quite a bit more than 20 or 30 years of aging.)\r\n\r\nRiesling was thought to have developed from the wild vines of the Rhine region. DNA tests have since have shown it is a cross between Gouais Blanc and a cross between a wild vine and Traminer. The Rhine Valley is probably where it was born. Riesling wine flavors include lime and Meyer lemon, pineapple, apricot, nectarine, ginger, citrus blossoms, jasmine, honeysuckle, honey, apple, pear and, not exactly but something close to, pine resin. Riesling wines can range from light-bodied to medium to medium-full. And they go with a large variety of foods including seafood and poultry and pork — with  seasonings like lemongrass, soy, ginger, lime, fennel, cilantro, think fish tacos, pickled jalapeños, Moo Shu, barbecue, papaya or mango or pineapple salsas, pork with apple and onion compote, stuffed pork tenderloin with bacon and apple Riesling sauce, shrimp with sweet chile sauce, mackerel with cilantro sauce, trout almandine, gumbo, braised rabbit with mustard sauce — pretty much anything except a steak. And “pretty much” does include turkey and ham holiday meals. (There’s that “planning ahead” nudge.)\r\n\r\nNow, all this food talk gets me hungry, and brings us at last to our wine for this week: The 2012 Steinhaus Riesling from the Mosel Valley. The 2012 growing season started slowly — the winter was harsh so bud break was in late April. A dry spring with cool temperatures ended with a lower yield than usual. August was very warm with a lot of sun and a good September let the grapes ripen fully. Harvest was in late September. These conditions created a very aromatic wine with green apple and ripe melon and kumquat flavors. Slightly off-dry, meaning dry but fruity, with a mineral finish. Elegant and refined. Exactly what a good German Riesling can be.\r\n\r\nAs we taste this wine, now, we have to note that we are planning ahead and this is a really good wine to remember. It is available at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $12.99.

It was not until the 1920s that historians started recording the Spaniard occupation of territories in the New World,” says Rowland.\r\n\r\nThe story of Santa Elena has been neglected for the better part of 100 years, despite the exceptional efforts of historians and archaeologists.  “The story of Spanish colonization outside of the State of Florida is not well known while at the same time preserved as a matter of record for quite some time in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville, Spain,” says Andy Beall, executive director for the Santa Elena Foundation.\r\n\r\nThe story of Santa Elena has not caught fire previously, while the stories of Roanoke, Jamestown, and St. Augustine were promoted actively by local residents, organizations, and governments. “That Santa Elena laid buried under several feet of soil for the past 450 years is a likely explanation for why the story of the settlement is not well known.,” says Beall.\r\n\r\nDr. Rowland’s two-hour, interactive lecture on October 19 will bring to light the historic significance of the Spaniard presence in Beaufort County and will also reveal the many “firsts” recorded at Santa Elena, which include the first ship built in North America and the first church.

When he did so, his favorite composer was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Einstein greatly appreciated the mathematical precision and ethereal beauty of Mozart’s music, saying: “Mozart’s music is so pure and beautiful that I see it as a reflection of the inner beauty of the universe itself.” Come to the first concert of this year’s USCB Festival Series on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. at USCB Center for the Arts to experience what Einstein was talking about. Mozart’s vibrant <i>Trio in B-flat Major, K. 502 </i>begins the program with a blend of sophisticated conversation, caressing song, and witty repartee.\r\n\r\nHungarian composer Zoltán Kodàly, a man of indefatigable energy, vision, and honor, whose musical contributions cut across disciplines and generations will lead up to intermission. His music-education system — teaching children to sing and play through the use of traditional song — is still in use today. His compositions also reflect his attraction to the folk music of his native land. <i>Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7</i>, written during the final run up to WWI in the spring of 1914, combines the feverish energy of the era with passionate, idiosyncratic folk-like melodies. This three-movement work demands blistering technique and pedal-to-the metal commitment from the performers which in turn rewards listeners with an intense experience.\r\n\r\nThe concert concludes with Robert Schumann’s<i> Piano Trio in d minor, Op. 63,</i> a work both robust and intimate which runs the gamut from whispered conversation to symphonic extravagance. Schumann began his concert career as a pianist and never lost his innate feel for the instrument. His greatest works feature the piano, and this piece can be considered one of the definitive romantic-era trios. It is personal, thumping, overwrought, and elegiac, filled with the kind of highs and lows which defined Schumann’s personality and to which, more than 165 years after its composition, we can still relate.\r\n\r\nReturning to play this interesting and compelling mix of music will be three Festival Series veterans. Artistic Director, host, and cellist Edward Arron; brilliant pianist Jeewon Park, and Lowcountry sensation, violinist Tessa Lark.\r\n\r\nComplete information about the artists and the programs are available at www.uscb.edu/festivalseries.

(19308, 4, '2014-10-15 21:26:29', '2014-10-16 01:26:29', '<b>By Alan Schuster</b>\r\n\r\nTo really appreciate the musical genius of Mozart as a composer, consider this: When his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte recalled working with him on “Figaro” in a letter to a friend, he wrote: “I set to work, and as fast as I wrote the words, Mozart set them to music. In six weeks, everything was in order.”\r\n\r\nMozart’s opera “Marriage of Figaro” will be broadcast live from The MET to USCB Center for the Arts on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 12:55 p.m.\r\n\r\n<b>Cast:</b> The Count and Countess Almaviva; Figaro, a servant; Susanna, a maid; Cherubino, a page; Dr Bartolo; Marcellina, a former housekeeper; Don Basilio, a music teacher.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I: </b>Figaro and Susanna are to marry later in the day but first he must deal with the Count after she tells him that he has been flirting with her.  Dr Bartolo and Marcellina enter, determined to hold Figaro to his agreement to marry her if he cannot repay a loan she gave him. Cherubino tells Susanna of his infatuation with the Countess, after which the Count arrives and he hides as the Count flirts with her. When Don Basilio enters, the Count hides too, overhearing gossip about Cherubino’s crush on his wife. The Count emerges, realizing that his page has overheard his flirtations, and promptly dismisses him to become an officer in his army.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> Figaro: “If you want to dance...”, declaring war against the Count. Cherubino: “Oh, what feelings...”, a popular highlight of the opera as he sings about his adolescent love for all women. Figaro: “Play no more...”, a high-spirited tune in which he taunts Cherubino about his upcoming military duties. Even the orchestra adds some taunting.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> The Countess laments her husband’s neglect. Susanna arrives, then Figaro with plans to trap the Count. Susanna will agree to meet him, but Cherubino, disguised as Susanna, will go instead. While Cherubino is being dressed, the Count approaches so Cherubino hides in the closet. When the Count hears a noise, the Countess tells him that Susanna is trying on her wedding dress. Suspicious that the door is locked, he leaves with the Countess to find tools to open it. Susanna now changes places with Cherubino, who then escapes through a window. The Count returns, finds Susanna in the closet, and apologizes to the Countess. The gardener enters, reporting that somebody jumped out of a window, thus increasing the Count’s suspicions.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights: </b>Countess: “Love, bring relief...”, is a beautiful cavatina with long melodic lines. Another fine piece follows, this time it’s Cherubino’s “Tell me, ladies”, one of opera’s most well-known songs. Actually it’s a song he composed about his favorite subject, love in vain. The act ends with 20 minutes of helter-skelter action and music, an amazing invention, with all nine principals involved — and confused. This is often considered to be Mozart’s finest comedic ensemble scene.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III: </b>In a large salon, Susanna sees the Count and promises to meet with him. A notary enters with Marcellina, Bartolo and Figaro and demands that Figaro must marry her. Figaro claims he can’t marry her without his parents permission. Hearing his account of his childhood abduction, Marcellina and Bartolo now realize that Figaro is their son. Alone, the Countess recalls her early years with the Count. Susanna arrives and the Countess dictates a letter for the Count, confirming their meeting. In the final scene, villagers arrive, marching and dancing to celebrate the marriage of Figaro and Susanna.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights: </b>“Beloved son, know your mother...”, a.k.a. the Mia Madre sextet, centering around Figaro’s disclosure, with all six expressing separate thoughts together. [Mozart’s favorite!]. Countess: “Where are the moments...”, a beautiful aria recalling her early love for the Count. Susanna and the Countess:  “O sweet zephyr”, a serenely clever duet with Susanna and the Countess composing the letter together.\r\n\r\n<b>Act IV: </b>Figaro is furious, thinking that Susanna is to have a secret meeting with the Count although the Countess will meet him instead, dressed in Susanna’s clothing. This leads to a big final scene in which Figaro recognizes Susanna as the Countess. When he acts as if he believes that Susanna is the Countess, the Count thinks that he is his wife’s lover. But when the disguises are revealed, so too are the plots, leading to a happy ending for one and all.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> The brief final act is mostly a marvelous stretch of  music and comedic drama in which the entire cast — unsupported by a chorus — tries to make sense of all the mistaken identities which have been revealed. While it may not match the magnificent second act finale, it comes awfully close, and makes for a joyous conclusion to what is undoubtedly the opera world’s greatest comedic work of art.\r\n\r\nThe Met’s Musical Director James Levine conducts with Ildar Abdrazakov as Figaro; Marlis Petersen as Susanna; Peter Mattei, the Count; Amanda Majeski, the Countess; and Isabel Leonard as Cherubino.\r\n\r\nNext performance will be Bizet’s popular “Carmen” on Saturday, Nov. 1.\r\n\r\nAll seats are general admission. Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10. Or order online at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com. USCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret St., Beaufort. Box office opens at noon.
