McCracken Middle School, Oetting said.\r\n\r\nBluffton High’s solar panels, in addition to their energy production, will be used to shade an outdoor patio used during the day by seniors at the school.  Bluffton High students assisted in the design as part of an academic class on architecture and engineering.\r\n\r\nPower generated by the new solar panels will be sold to South Carolina Electric and Gas for 8 cents per kilowatt hour, which the school district estimates will generate savings (at today’s rates) that will cover the cost of the panels in 15-20 years.\r\n\r\nThe $250,000 needed to purchase and install the panels was partially offset through the Solar Grant Program for Education Installations sponsored by Palmetto Clean Energy.  The grant matched up to $50,000 each at both Bluffton High School and Whale Branch Early College High School.  The rest of the funding comes from district funds approved by the Board of Education for energy efficiency projects.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort County School District has achieved considerable savings by developing more efficient systems in school buildings.  For example, schools’ energy use was reduced from 54 million kilowatt hours in 2006 to 39 million kilowatt hours in 2013 despite thousands of new students as well as the addition of more than a million square feet of building space.  Occupancy sensors were installed in hallways and classrooms, and more efficient light fixtures and heating and air-conditioned systems were added.\r\n\r\nCutting-edge technology also reduced water usage from 58 million gallons in 2006 to 51 million gallons in 2013, again despite more students and more building space.', 'Solar panel installations almost done at two schools', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'solar-panel-installations-almost-done-at-two-schools', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:36', '2018-07-12 15:00:36', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19320', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The two men talked as he drove, with no indication of anything amiss.\r\n\r\nHowever, as they approached the area of Blueberry Lane on Old Bailey’s Road, Wright suddenly attacked the driver without provocation, striking him in the head with a hammer. Wright got out of the vehicle and the victim tried to drive away, but Wright continued to assault him, smashing the windows of the vehicle with a rock and beating the victim about the head and face.\r\n\r\nThe victim was eventually able to disengage and drove a short distance, pulling into a private driveway and honking the horn to summon help as Wright fled the area on foot.\r\n\r\nThe motive for the attack remains unknown, and nothing was reportedly stolen.

Deputies located a white Chevy Malibu occupied by three subjects nearby on Fieldfare Way. The backseat passenger was a 28-year-old black male suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.\r\n\r\nThe driver and front seat passenger of the vehicle advised that they had been at a house party on Delaney Circle and decided to leave. As they were leaving, they heard several subjects arguing. An unknown male then jumped into the back seat of the car and yelled to get him out of there.\r\n\r\nAs the three men drove away, unknown suspect(s) began shooting at the vehicle. They drove to Hwy 21 then turned onto Fieldfare Way, pursued by the suspects in an unknown vehicle, who continued to shoot at them. Multiple shots were fired, one of which entered the vehicle and struck the back seat passenger.\r\n\r\nThe driver pulled over and called for help, rendering aid to the victim until deputies arrived. The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital where he remains in stable condition.\r\n\r\nAt this time, no suspect(s) have been identified.

Poison arrows are the negative thoughts, words and actions that we put out into the world. We may not do it intentionally, but we send them none the less.\r\n\r\nThe concept of poison arrows was presented to me for the first time just after the bombing at the Boston Marathon when I was visiting my dear teacher, Marian. She spoke about the effect of our thoughts and words like the ripple effect of a stone thrown into a pond. Marian described the event like this: My angry thoughts connect to your angry thoughts and join the angry thoughts of others until it builds to the point where it manifests. Then the weakest link in the human chain will act it out — and BOOM, a bomb goes off! Or a war breaks out. Or someone gets beat up after school. But the opposite is also true. When my loving thoughts connect to your loving thoughts and those thoughts join the loving thoughts of the world — somebody gets the loan they desperately need or the job that will save a family’s home or a miraculous healing.\r\n\r\nWow ... think about that for a moment. That means we’re all connected. That means there is no “they”. That means, <i>we are they.</i>\r\n\r\nI was doing a healing session this week with a woman who was desperately worried about her animal’s health, her husband’s health and other serious issues. Sometimes when I do sessions, people will get a message. This time it was not just for her, but for me as well.\r\n\r\nThe message was that when we worry about a person or situation, we are actually doing the opposite of what we intend. We want the situation to improve, but what we are sending is negative. Worry is not a positive emotion. You can feel it in your body. It doesn’t feel good. Love and worry are diametrically opposed to one another. Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying, “We cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”\r\n\r\nWhen you are concerned for someone, instead of worry, invoke an emotion that is more helpful. Very simply, hold them in your mind’s eye then draw a happy face on the palm of your hand and send it out. Whoosh! You’ve just sent them a blessing instead of a curse. When you see a homeless person on the street or hear your neighbors arguing, draw the happy face and send it. Bless them, it is the kindest thing you can do for them.\r\n\r\nLet’s get back to “they”. How many times have you heard about global warming and climate change and thought, <i>they should do something about that!  </i>We are “they.” Or maybe you learn that Congress has given themselves another raise and wonder, <i>how can they get away with that? </i> We are still “they.”\r\n\r\nOnly “we” can change our world, since “we” created the world as it is today. Now, now, now, before you get angry and put this article in the bottom of the bird’s cage, think for just a moment. Do you drive a car? Do you consume the products that are made in pollution factories? Yes, of course, we all do. Do you vote? Do you write letters to your congressman or woman?\r\n\r\nWe ARE creating the world in which we live. “We” the people are electing those who put their own interests before the greater good. Can we change that? Of course we can! But first we have to stop blaming “them” and take responsibility for our choices. If we don’t like the choices we have made in the past, then we can choose again.\r\n\r\nThere is no point in being angry with yourself or others for the choices that have already been made. “We” can draw a happy face on the palm of our hand and bless them — then we kick them out of office (smile).\r\n\r\n<i>You can find Susan Stone at Beaufort Chiropractic.

Reggie Przybysz, former owner of Art &amp; Soul Gallery in Beaufort, has recently joined Salt Gallery and Garrity looks forward to working closely with Przybysz.\r\n\r\n“Reggie and Kelly have experience in the art world that will significantly help me,” said Garrity. “I know and love photography, and I have a background in marketing, but there is no substitution for hands-on experience. Working with Salt Gallery offers me that experience and will make me that much better at my craft.”\r\n\r\nGarrity moved to Beaufort in 2008 from Ithaca, NY. Her professional career was in marketing and sales for 26 years, but her love for photography began at age eight when she picked up a box camera. Since moving to the area, the Lowcountry’s changing landscapes have become the primary focus of her photographic work.\r\n\r\nSalt Gallery is located in the pink building on the corner of the alley leading to Saltus Restaurant. The gallery opened in February of this year.\r\n\r\n“The name Salt Gallery is a bit tongue-in-cheek,” Davidson said. “Not only does it pay homage to the Saltus building the gallery is in, but also recognizes ‘artists are the salt of the earth’,” she said.\r\n\r\nMore information about Janet Garrity can be found at www.garrity.com.

But since she says it will be engraved with “forever the teacher,” which is a fitting tribute for a retired educator, Noel doesn’t seem to be bothered by the early planning.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19381\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"233\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Profile-Noel-Tillman.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19381\" alt=\"Noel Tillman is one busy retiree.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Profile-Noel-Tillman-233x300.jpg\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" /></a> Noel Tillman is one busy retiree.[/caption]\r\n\r\nNoel may be technically retired, but he has a long list of volunteer activities that keep him as busy as a bee. In fact, he refers to himself as a worker bee.\r\n\r\n“I like to get right in and do things,” he says. “Bring about change, improve, create, fix, modify. It is important for me to be moving in a direction.”\r\n\r\nAnd moving is something Noel has done for most of his life. Born in New York City and raised in Massachusetts, Noel and his wife, Cathy, both retired from service with the Department of Defense. They worked with children of military families in the U.S. and overseas.\r\n\r\n“We were lucky to retire here in Beaufort, near family, after several years of working with the Laurel Bay schools,” Noel says.\r\n\r\nIt was Noel’s seven years in the U.S. Air Force as a parachuting/water survival and aviation physiology instructor that turned him on to teaching as a vocation. After six years of night school, he completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. Noel has been a classroom teacher, a school level administrator and a district and state education administrator. Noel says that since he married a teacher, he even brought the job home at night.\r\n\r\n“Education, to me, is a service industry. It requires you to work closely with people and to help others. So giving back to my community in retirement is just an outcropping of that service experience,” he says.\r\n\r\nNoel currently works as a food re-distribution volunteer and a member of the Second Helpings Board of Directors; he’s a co-founder and active board member of Compassionate Beaufort Communities; he serves on the curriculum committee of the USCB/Osher Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI); and he routinely volunteers and is a past board member of CAPA .\r\n\r\n“If my name is attached to it, then it has to be the best I can do,” Noel says about his dedication to his volunteer work.  “My family has always valued the dignity of hard work and giving 110% of yourself to what you do.”\r\n\r\nAnd he’s quick to praise his co-workers, too. “I work with very dedicated, altruistic people in each of the programs with which I volunteer. Beaufort is a very compassionate community. So many folks give of themselves, and share their talents, time, and treasure. We are all so lucky to live in an area steeped in history and tradition, yet forward-thinking enough to know the importance of change.”\r\n\r\nNoel’s volunteer duties vary with each organization:\r\n\r\nAt OLLI, he presents classes and helps recruit talented, knowledgeable people to share their careers and life experiences as part of the adult education program co-sponsored by USCB.\r\n\r\nAt Compassionate Beaufort Communities Noel is on a team that works behind the scenes to support individuals and organizations so they might be more successful. They do this by helping the groups publish exceptional stories and meeting with the organizations to share ideas on improving the communities’ awareness of their efforts.\r\n\r\nNoel says his Second Helpings job “requires a little backbreaking work five to six hours a month that results in over one million pounds of surplus donated food being re-distributed in the local Beaufort area each year. That success makes up for a few sore muscles.”\r\n\r\nBut don’t think sore muscles are enough to slow Noel’s pace. “The more I get involved, the more energized I become,” he says. “It has got to be fulfilling work, not a lot of meetings.  That way I don’t feel guilty about ignoring and procrastinating the lawn mowing and other chores I have waiting for me back home.”\r\n\r\nEven with a lawn to mow, Noel has free time that he fills with carpentry, painting and drawing.\r\n\r\n“My son-in-law is a builder and he constantly reminds me that my creative carpentry skills, what he calls ‘Noelizing,’ are in need of some polish. I started painting and drawing a couple of years ago. I am self-taught, and it shows, but I have sold about a dozen paintings and hundreds of hand drawn note cards. I know I can’t give up my day job for art, but I love the creative process, and Beaufort is an inspiring place.”\r\n\r\nNoel also feels fortunate to stay connected to the people whose lives he’s touched. “Every now and then I’ll bump into a CAPA shelter kid that I worked with who has grown into adulthood. I love the feeling of knowing I am a small part of their lives. Being an educator, you love those moments when a former student or their parents stop you and say, ‘thanks.’”\r\n\r\nNoel says his “death wish” days of motorcycles and dirt bikes led to three broken legs, so he gave that up.\r\n\r\nLikewise, he says that time has caught up with him, transitioning his downhill skiing and SCUBA diving to snowshoeing, cross country skiing, a walk on Edisto or Hunting Island beaches, a kayak trip out his back door, or snorkeling.\r\n\r\nNoel and Cathy have a daughter, Lyn Dennis, who works in the Beaufort schools. Lyn and her husband, Scott (the builder), have two children, Katelyn and Robert, who graduated from Beaufort High School. Katelyn graduated from Clemson and Robert attends Presbyterian College. Noel and Cathy’s son Michael lives near Myrtle Beach, SC, while their other daughter Christian and grandson Allen, a graduate of Stonehill College, live in Massachusetts.\r\n\r\nNoel first references “Stayin’ Alive,” the signature Bee Gees song from “Saturday Night Fever” when asked about plans for the future. Then he quickly gets back to the business of helping local organizations.\r\n\r\n“Actually there are several projects brewing,” he says. “There’s an April event at Chamber’s Park involving Earth Day, charity recognition, and celebration of youth.  I just finished working on seven courses for OLLI the winter /spring semester on various topics:  art, life of migrant workers, local history, music, global travel, and government.”\r\n\r\nDon’t expect any grass to grow under Noel’s feet any time soon. And if it did, he’d probably be too busy to mow it, anyway.\r\n\r\nFor more information about Compassionate Beaufort Communities, visit cbc-sc.org or call 843-271-6912.\r\n<div></div>', 'Noel Tillman believes in creating compassionate communities', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'noel-tillman-believes-in-creating-compassionate-communities', '', '', '2014-10-15 22:41:46', '2014-10-16 02:41:46', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19364', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Whatever their reasons, most came away with something in hand, and a chance to play in the water one more time before fall weather sets in for good.\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19376\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"176\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-3.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19376\" alt=\"This little guy, equipped with a plastic bag, peers into the water as he looks for shark’s teeth at The Sands in Port Royal. \" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-3-176x300.jpg\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" /></a> This little guy, equipped with a plastic bag, peers into the water as he looks for shark’s teeth at The Sands in Port Royal.[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19383\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"167\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-6.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19383\" alt=\"Jeremy Wahman-Gargo, 9, shows off some of his shark teeth found on Saturday at The Sands in Port Royal.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-6-167x300.jpg\" width=\"167\" height=\"300\" /></a> Jeremy Wahman-Gargo, 9, shows off some of his shark teeth found on Saturday at The Sands in Port Royal.[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19402\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"213\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-7.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19402\" alt=\"Elle Bougan, 7, found it was more fun to play in the water with the colander than sift for shark teeth, but she did find a few small teeth. \" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-7-213x300.jpg\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" /></a> Elle Bougan, 7, found it was more fun to play in the water with the colander than sift for shark teeth, but she did find a few small teeth.[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19403\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Teeth-4.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19403\" alt=\"Mike Harris, the Shark Tooth Fairy of Port Royal, displays one of the many fossilized teeth he gave away.

Yes, that’s right, THE Elvis will be making a one night only stop in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nI know you thought he had gone to have “a Little Talk with Jesus”, but calm your Suspicious Minds and let talented tribute artist, Michael Viljac convince you otherwise.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19390\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"201\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Viljac-Elvis.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19390\" alt=\"Michael Viljac performs as Elvis Presley.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Viljac-Elvis-201x300.jpg\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" /></a> Michael Viljac performs as Elvis Presley.[/caption]\r\n\r\nLike Elvis, Michael Viljac is a handsome dark-haired southerner who credits his hip shaking moves to karate training. However, unlike Elvis, he never aspired to be a performer and still maintains a day job at Coastal Pressure, a pressure washing equipment business in Mount Pleasant, SC. According to Viljac, he was a Johhny Cash fan growing up and only sang his first Elvis song at a karaoke bar in 1993 after a friend begged him to. A year or so later, after seeing the show of a professional Elvis impersonator with his wife, she suggested that he try it out. So, in 1996, he put together his first show. Over time, his act has evolved from singing along to pre-recorded music, to performing with a full band. Although the Elvis show is a popular request, Viljac and his band also perform beach and shag music shows, as well as shows that incorporate music by country starts and Vegas regulars like George Jones, Conway Twitty, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones.\r\n\r\nAlthough Elvis Aaron Presley died on August 16, 1977, at age 42, his spotlight has never really dimmed and there are estimated to be upwards of 85,000 Elvis impersonators performing across the globe today. In his lifetime, the composer Leonard Bernstein called Elvis “the single, most influential cultural force of the 20th century.”\r\n\r\nThe performer was seen as more than a singer, he represented a whole generation of young Americans who were addicted to their record players and seeking to rebel against their parents and societal norms. From his early leather jacket and love em’ and leave ‘em movie roles, to his over-the-top 70s jumpsuits, Elvis was seen as living life on his own terms even if that meant excess. Perhaps that yearning for freedom is what still keeps Elvis’ appeal strong among modern day fans. It’s no surprise that those tied down by jobs, mortgages, and all of the other demands of daily life Can’t Help Falling In Love with this icon.\r\n\r\nViljac says that when he’s dressed the part, people act as though he really is Elvis. They want to have their picture taken with him, have him sign autographs and give them a kiss on the cheek. He’s even had a few requests to perform weddings. He says, “It’s an honor, whether it’s me or Elvis that they’re responding to”.\r\n\r\nIf you go: The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 18. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online from the ARTworks website at www.beaufortcountyarts.com or by calling 843-379-2787.

The objective of the program is to inspire participants to become involved in volunteerism and civic engagement aligned with their own leadership skills and personal interests.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort County Senior Leadership Mission: Building community through civic engagement.\r\n\r\nOpen to all residents of Beaufort County, the program provides participants the opportunity to meet, ask questions of and speak with county and local government leaders, and representatives from the public, private and charitable sectors; as well as witness demonstrations from public safety officials.\r\n\r\nIn 2013, Beaufort, ranked first as “America’s Happiest Seaside Towns” by Coastal Living Magazine and in 2014 Beaufort ranked first in Southern Living Magazine’s “List of Small Towns We Love”; Second on AARP’s “America’s Best Small Towns”; Seventh on Smithsonian Magazine’s “America’s Best Small Towns to Visit”; and ranked Number 1 as the “Healthiest County in South Carolina” by the 2014 County Health Rankings. The scores are based on a number of variables associated with quality of life, environment and availability of services.\r\n\r\nAAA Carolinas featured Beaufort as a coastal destination in the March/April 2014 Issue of GO Magazine and honored both the Cuthbert House and The Rhett House Inn with its prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award designation.\r\n\r\nBeaufort County was founded in 1769 and is one of 46 South Carolina counties; it comprises 92.3 square miles of land area and 658 square miles of water surface.\r\n\r\nAccording to the authors of “Trivia About Beaufort County, SC,” Esther Truesdale and Jim Cato, “There are at least 64 large islands and about 1,400 small islands” in Beaufort County.\r\n\r\nIn as much as our surroundings are in the very heart of the sea islands, it’s no wonder that Larry Bernard, 2011 graduate and BCSL Marketing Director, states, “We decided to call the individual topic areas ‘Ports of Call’ to be consistent with the program motto ‘A Voyage of Discovery’ and the geography of the area.”\r\n\r\nThree of the Ports of Call — History/Heritage/Culture; Economic Development; and Environment — require two days because of the extensive subject matter covered. Other Ports of Call are Local/County Government; The Arts, Education, Human Services, Health Resources; Public Safety/Law Enforcement; and Military Ties and History.\r\n\r\nThe program meets on Wednesdays from January through early April at different Ports of Call such as USCB, the county government center and Town Hall, Parris Island and MCAS, and Penn Center.\r\n\r\n“I enjoyed having remarkable access to local leaders and places that I otherwise would not have had an opportunity to meet and observe. The program increased my understanding of local business and government operations and challenges,” said Randall Bergmann, another 2014 program participant.\r\n\r\nTony Mills, education director of the Lowcountry Institute, spent the day with the 2014 class at the Art Barn on Spring Island. He discussed Lowcountry critters, habitats and took the group on a habitat safari around Spring Island. He and cinematographer, Rob Lewis, host “Coastal Kingdom” — a journey through some of the richest and most diverse habitats of the Lowcountry. The class also heard from Laura Lee Rose of the Clemson Extension Master Gardener Program and Native Plant Society.\r\n\r\n“I have lived in Beaufort for 15 years and learned so much about our environment and government. Learning about the beauty and special ecology of the Port Royal Sound and ACE Basin has made me a better naturalist” said Jim Weiss, a 2014 program participant.\r\n\r\nDuring Economic Day 1, Rob Wells, Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, Vice President, Tourism Division, explained the concept of “Turbo Tourist.” They are the visitors who make yearly visits to Beaufort to explore and experience the wonder of the area, and by the fifth visit, they are exploring permanent residency. Tourism is the Number 1 job creator for Beaufort County and generates over $1 billion in annual revenue. Tourism provides $700 in annual tax savings per household, these were among the sound bites that senior leadership program participants heard during Rob’s presentation.\r\n\r\n“Thank you so much, Clemson Extension, for providing a top notch program with your Senior Leadership class. Outstanding speakers, interesting experiences, and a great way to learn about many aspects of my new ‘hometown.’ I really enjoyed interacting with my classmates and looked forward to each and every Wednesday. This experience opened my eyes to the various possibilities to get involved in the community and where I fit in,” said Deb Ahlers from the class of 2014.\r\n\r\nChallenged by BCSL Program Directors Bob Guinn and Ed Pappas to recruit new participants by sharing their experience within as well as beyond the boundaries of their own communities and social circles, 2014 graduates became the new ambassadors of the program.\r\n\r\nTo keep the program relevant and dynamic, each graduating class is responsible for developing and planning the program for the following year. The Ports of Call generally remain the same, but the speakers, the Ports of Call and the sub-topics tend to differ each year to reflect current issues and relevance.\r\n\r\nWith planning sessions under way, highlights of the 2015 program include:\r\n\r\n• A history presentation by Dr. Theodore Rosengarten, author of “Tombee: Portraits of a Cotton Picker.”\r\n\r\n• A downtown walking tour with a focus on tourism during one of the economic days.\r\n\r\n• A briefing on disaster preparedness by a member of public safety.\r\n\r\n• A Tour of the 4th Battalion (Women) at Parris Island and a visit to the new pilot training center at MCAS during Military Ties and History day.\r\n\r\nThe class of 2015 will be the program’s 23rd year serving Beaufort County. More than 735 residents have attended the program and many now serve as a volunteer in a position that fits their interest and lifestyle.\r\n\r\n“We all knew Beaufort was a diamond .... we simply didn’t know all its facets!” exclaimed Charlie Francis during 2014 closing remarks.\r\n\r\nReserve your seat today as the class size is limited to 35 participants (and 19 seats are already filled).\r\n\r\nFor more information about the Beaufort County Senior Leadership Program, visit www.beaufortseniorleadership.com and download 2015 applications, or call Bob Guinn at 843-255-6060,  ext. 116.', 'A Voyage of Discovery: learn about life in the Lowcountry with Beaufort County Senior Leadership', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-voyage-of-discovery-learn-about-life-in-the-lowcountry-with-beaufort-county-senior-leadership', '', '', '2014-10-15 22:59:36', '2014-10-16 02:59:36', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19392', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19412, 4, '2014-10-23 10:34:31', '2014-10-23 14:34:31', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen my son was tiny, Halloween was a perplexing time when grown-ups decorated with squash, when Mom fussed around making something in the basement and shortly thereafter fussed around dressing him up in bunchy strange clothes. Then, one night, for no reason, Mom stuffed him into the bunchy clothes and took him to the neighboring houses wherein the inhabitants gave him candy. What a great idea! Why aren’t we doing this every day?\r\n\r\nLater, as he grew older Halloween became a time of shared conspiracy in creating the perfect costume, competing with friends for the weirdest and coolest, testing a mother’s creativity and facility with foam rubber.  Our neighborhood decorated and dressed for Trick or Treat night with costumed parents accompanying their costumed kids. The Halloween frenzy grew to the point where the neighborhood dogs were hobbling around wearing buns, skirts and wings.  Our dog, Dave, who had a look of benign misery most of the time anyway, looked more despondent than usual on Halloween night and all we did was gel his topknot to look punk.\r\n\r\nTo costume a dog is to deny his essential dogness.  Deep within your dog’s chromosomes is the inherent sense of wolf behavior. In a wolf community, one animal may “stand over” another, placing his body on or close to another as a communication, a scolding.  To a dog, the experience of being bound into a Yoda suit does not elicit festivity, more, the uncomfortable feeling of being “ranked”.  Notice when you dress up a dog they freeze in place as if they are being dominated. Also notice that is only a matter of moments until Best Friend begins to dislodge the garment by pawing, shaking, dragging or rolling in something foul so as to necessitate removal of the bumble bee hat.\r\n\r\nDogs are extremely good sports. They will do just about anything to please their humans. Some maintain that Binky LOVES dressing up. But think about it. Does Binky really enjoy the sensation of a balloon glued to his nether parts, horns strapped around his head and a bell around his neck that clanks with every vibration? Probably not.  Even when the costume is not as extreme — say, wedging a dachshund into a bun, or a Maltese into fairy wings — is the perceived joy you see in the dog a result of the costume or the result of the liver treats you use to bribe him to hold still for pictures or the high-pitched “you’re-so-cute-oh-yes-you-are!!” that accompanies the reveal.  A dog works on the What’s In It For Me principle. Loads of snacks and attention? Sure, I’ll feel bunchy and uncomfortable — for about a minute.\r\n\r\nHere’s another way of looking at what your costumed dog may feel.  What if, one day, when you arrived at work, your boss announced, “Today is Underwear Day! Strip down to your skivvies!”. Um. How awkward is this? But, then your boss hands you a box of Godiva chocolates, tickets for the big game and your co-workers cheer and tell you you look great in your tighty-whities. Well, okay then. Maybe not so bad. I can do this for a day. Tomorrow is back to normal, right?\r\n\r\nIf you insist on dressing up your pet, make sure the costume isn’t annoying or unsafe.  It must not constrict movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe or bark.  Make sure his outfit doesn’t have dangly bits that he could trip over or chew off and swallow.  Make sure he can move freely without clunking into furniture or snagging on branches.  Make sure his outfit doesn’t make noise, tinkle, clank or rustle.  A white stripe down the back of a black dog masquerades him as a skunk, black stripes on an orange dog can masquerade him as a tiger or a little hair gel can turn your Bedlington into a camel.  All low-key efforts that will afford him his safety and his dignity.\r\n\r\nNot unlike my son at age 2, your dog does not understand that Halloween is YOUR holiday, not his. Wearing a sweater in the winter keeps him warm; wearing something that makes him look like a banana or an armadillo is humiliating.\r\n<div></div>', 'How Fido feels about Halloween', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'how-fido-feels-about-halloween-4', '', '', '2014-10-23 10:34:31', '2014-10-23 14:34:31', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19412', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19417, 4, '2014-10-23 10:39:39', '2014-10-23 14:39:39', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nWith the holidays coming, we can celebrate early with bubbles. Besides tasting and learning about new wines, it is important to do some planning ahead so we have exactly the wines we want to drink at home and ready when we need them. That means chilled as needed, correct glasses washed and polished, foods that will help our wines taste as good as they can (and vice versa) and our minds and hearts ready to enjoy the festivities.\r\n\r\nThis week will feature a fabulous Prosecco from Italy. We have this wine for several reasons. One because it is new and we have to get acquainted with it. And, two will come in a bit. For now, though, let’s start with a look at Italian sparkling wines. Any country, and likewise any winemaker, that makes wine can make sparkling wine. All they need is some grapes and one of several methods to get bubbles into the wine they make from their grapes. For many, many years, when we thought of Italian sparkling wine, we came up with Asti, a sparkling wine (“spumante” is Italian for “sparkling) made in the Piedmont region from Moscato grapes.\r\n\r\nMore recently, sparkling wines made from Prosecco grapes have become more well known and very popular. It’s interesting to note, that there are several levels of Prosecco wine — DOCG, the top legal level of Italian wine; DOC and IGT. Depending on where you look or who you ask, it can get confusing when you name the grape variety making these wines. Yes, it is Prosecco grape. Sort of. But, the latest reports say these wines are made from the Glera white grape variety. Confusing? Of course, we’re talking about European wines. But, more about that in a moment.\r\n\r\nBesides the DOCG Asti and DOCG and DOC Prosecco, the other legally recognized Italian sparkling wines are DOC Lambrusco (a red sparkling that can be either dry or sweet), DOCG Franciacorta (made from Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay, and excellent when you find one), and DOC Trento (made from the same three grapes as Franciacorte with Pinot Meunier added).\r\n\r\nSome of these sparkling wines are made using the “mèthode Champenoise.” The Champagne method that produces the bubbles in the bottle you buy the wine in. In Italy, it is most often known as “metodo classico,” the classic method. Obviously, you don’t want to say you’re using the Champagne method when you can’t even make Champagne. (Champagne has to come from certain grapes grown on certain soil in France only. So, Italians call it the classic method.) There is a certain amount of time involved in this process, more than other methods. So the sparkling wines made using the classic method tend to cost a bit more. The Charmat method is used to speed up the time involved and lower the cost of many sparkling wines. This process does the second fermentation, where the wine gets its bubbles, in bulk. A lot at a time and then the bubbly wine is bottled under pressure and corked. This process was created and patented by an Italian, Frederico Martinotti, in 1895. Several years later, in 1907, a Frenchman, Jean Charmat, adapted Martinotti’s method and it’s been known as the Charmat method ever since. (Maybe another reason the Italians don’t like the French name for their classic method?) Most, really almost all, wines labeled as sparkling Prosecco are made with the Charmat, bulk second fermentation, process.\r\n\r\nMoving on, let’s get this grape variety Glera straight. More to the point, why its wines are called Prosecco. Glera is a neutral grape, grown mostly for making sparkling wines. It is probably an ancient variety, derived from the village of Prosecco near Trieste. It is possible it has been grown since Roman times. Tradition in the area around the village of Prosecco was to call the wine and the grape by the same name. Prosecco. When Italian DOC wines laws were written, Prosecco was the DOC for wines from the village and specific areas near it. And, IGT wines, a lower legal level were also called Prosecco. In 2009, the Prosecco wines from two specific areas, Conegliano and Valdobiadine, were upgraded to DOCG level. Because of the confusion between Prosecco the DOC and Prosecco the grape grown for DOC and non-DOC wines, the decision was made to return to calling all these grapes Glera.  So, see they were made from Prosecco and now they’re made from Glera. Phew!\r\n\r\nNow, on to our winery for this week — Cavicchioli. This family has been growing vines in the Modena province, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, for over a century. In 1928, Umberto Cavicchioli bottled the first wines with the family name on them. All the Cavicchioli bottles made today show this year on them. Umberto’s two grandsons still work at the winery; Claudio takes care commercial concerns and Sandro is the winemaker. The Cavicchioli family owns almost 235 acres, making them one of the largest vineyard owners in Modena. In their vineyards, the family focuses on owning their vines, low yields from their vines and high quality wines. Modena is the center of Lambrusco production, and the Cavicchiolis make these red wines.\r\n\r\nBut, they also make several sparkling wines. And we are now at our Prosecco for this week. This is an Extra Dry Spumante. Made from 100 percent Glera grapes. These grapes are grown in the province of Treviso, in Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The grapes are hand picked, some under-ripe to preserve acidity for the finished wine. Maceration, the juice sitting with the skins, lasts about 12 hours at cool temperatures (45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit). The first fermentation, to make the wine, is also temperature controlled. And the Charmat second fermentation, to make the bubbles, is done at a cooler temperature over 15 to 24 days.\r\n\r\nThe finished sparkling Prosecco is a DOC wine. It is a pale, pale gold color, with a white foam that forms when it is poured. Its bubbles are lively, small and persistent — that comes from the length of time at the cooler temperature.\r\n\r\nThis wine has candied fruit flavors like crystallized lemon rind and floral notes. And a long, clean finish. A great addition to our collection of Proseccos, and for only $10.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island, it’s an excellent addition, one to be enjoyed often.\r\n\r\nThat brings me to our second reason for learning about this wine this week. October 26 is National Champagne Day That’s this weekend! I know Cavicchioli Prosecco is not officially Champagne but we can buy more of it and drink more of it. And we can remember it in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving festivities.\r\n\r\nEnjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Time to celebrate with a new Prosecco', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'time-to-celebrate-with-a-new-prosecco', '', '', '2014-10-23 10:39:39', '2014-10-23 14:39:39', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19417', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Such is the case of a group of women who were members of the American University Women Beaufort Branch (“AAUW”).\r\n\r\nCarole Geiger was president from 1979-80 when she launched a special interest group amongst the membership.  At the behest of Mrs. Geiger, Leola Fanning, now a retired science educator, chose literature.  The insightfulness and enthusiasm of Deo Boyland spearheaded other members of AAUW Beaufort to gather for the initial organizational meeting held on October 25, 1979. The Literary Criticism Group subsequently met a few months later on December 6 to discuss William Shakespeare’s “Henry IV” (Part 1 – King John), recounts Mrs. Fanning, who remains a guiding light of the group which is now in its fourth decade.\r\n\r\nThe format for the last 35 years has revolved around a singular theme.  Authors or a subject matter are chosen.  The group convenes about eight months of the year.  In 2012-13, the Civil War was the focus; 2013-14, women writers; 2014-15, mystery writers. The leader for each meeting gives an in depth summary of the author’s life and literary work. Members read any book by the designated author or related focus. Each member relates her own critique in an informal manner during the discussion.\r\n\r\nOwing to attrition, the original group has morphed over time. Current attendees are now an independent group of women who enjoy the Literary Criticism Group and the camaraderie it engenders. Individuals also share reading lists throughout the year. The collective goal remains unchanged and continues to encourage reading literature on a broad range of subjects. Leola Fanning recognizes that this venture has been rewarding and continues to participate. Readers in the group revel in Leola’s shared personal recollections of growing up in South Carolina.', 'For the record: Reading group is now in fourth decade', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'for-the-record-reading-group-is-now-in-fourth-decade', '', '', '2014-10-23 10:40:59', '2014-10-23 14:40:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19419', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I had to rethink this misconception recently,  but it took a day with my granddaughter and a day on the golf course.\r\n\r\nMy granddaughter Sloan and I were playing volleyball in her backyard.  She started to get frustrated because she couldn’t serve the ball as well as I was serving it. We went through the steps together of how to hold the ball, placement of hand, keeping your eyes on the ball and knowing where you want it to go — all those skills that I had been taught as a child. I assured her, in my wise Grandmother voice, that practice was the key to success in anything she tackled.\r\n\r\nAbout two weeks after this happened, I entered a small golf tournament.  It was advertised as a women’s only Cayman Golf tournament and opened to both golfers and non-golfers. The idea was to pull non-golfers out of the wood work and entice them to try golf, a great marketing technique especially when you think of all the golf courses and tournaments around our area. Although I had taken golf lessons about five years before, I had not played since.\r\n\r\nThere were 44 women playing in the tournament, some of whom were experienced golfers, some relatively new to the sport and some, like me, who really didn’t have a clue. I did know some of the basics like how to hold the club and look at the ball. And I did understood in theory the stance and the swing techniques. It was a lot of fun and the  other three women who made up my  foursome were wonderful.  They made encouraging remarks, like “you’re doing great,” “it just takes practice,” “don’t worry, I have spent many rounds of golf shooting balls into sand traps”.  But I did start getting frustrated until I remembered my experience with my granddaughter. My frustration at not getting it right all the time was similar to hers.  We both wanted to be doing the sport as well as the experienced teacher.  But the truth is it still takes time to learn something new regardless of your age — time to do it wrong, time to take classes, time to practice and time for a little patience.

Please tell the attendant that you would like a Miss Judy ticket, and make a donation to the series only if you wish.\r\n\r\nI hope the student tickets and Miss Judy’s initiative will fill our hall with people who truly love the artistry and music that this extraordinary series brings to our region.

What if someone had fallen while getting into or out of a car? What’s to prevent that person from lodging a complaint or claim against the Salvation Army?\r\n\r\nAnd what’s to stop a disgruntled resident from accusing the Salvation Army of supporting a particular candidate by allowing the use of its facility in violation of nonprofit rules and regulations. It seems a stretch, but we all know that stranger things have happened.\r\n\r\nLastly, would the North Street Neighbors suggest that people could park on a neighbor’s private property without first consulting the neighbor? This could all have been avoided had there been communication in advance.  It’s so easy to criticize a situation without fully understanding the ramifications. However, it seems very shortsighted to chastise a valued community service provider over an incident such as this. I hope the “North Street Neighbors” will re-think the situation and reconsider their stance.  The Salvation Army needs and deserves our support.\r\n\r\n<b>Kay E.

(19429, 4, '2014-10-23 10:49:20', '2014-10-23 14:49:20', '<b>By Tom Davis </b>\r\n\r\nOn November 4 voters will decide whether to provide $20 million to the Beaufort County Rural and Critical Land Preservation Program (the R&amp;CL program), a land-preservation program that for the past 14 years has protected our county’s unique historic and environmental resources. I will vote “yes” on this referendum question, and ask that you consider doing the same.\r\n\r\nVoters approved initial funding for the R&amp;CL program in 2000, and authorized additional funds in 2006 and 2012. This incremental approach allows us to evaluate performance and assess costs and benefits before taking additional steps, so let’s do the due diligence on the proposed next step.\r\n\r\nIs government action necessary to preserve our salt-marsh ecosystem? Yes, because in a free market people buy, sell, develop and use property at prices that fail to fully account for damage done to the environment. I support free markets, but they don’t address such externalities.\r\n\r\nDon’t zoning laws already protect our environment? Yes, but they do so imperfectly and often unjustly.  Zoning is a coercive one-way-street that tells people what they can do with their property and vests bureaucrats with discretionary power routinely exploited by developers. Moreover, in cases where any development at all is problematic (e.g., at our rivers’ headwaters), zoning isn’t a feasible option; it would constitute taking without compensation.\r\n\r\nThe R&amp;CL program is a more effective and fairer way for government to protect our ecosystem.  This program, through fee simple purchases and the acquisition of easements and development rights, has protected over 22,000 acres of strategically selected land in our county from development, all through voluntary agreements with owners.\r\n\r\nIs the program working? Yes. Not only has environmental degradation caused by high growth in the 1990s been curbed, it is actually being reversed. To cite but one of many examples, health officials recently reopened for oyster harvesting stretches of the May River previously closed because of rising bacteria levels.\r\n\r\nHasn’t the R&amp;CL program already accomplished its objective? No, because despite a lull occasioned by the lingering recession, Beaufort County will in the near future, as it has in the not-so-distant past, experience explosive growth.  The demand for living here is high and the supply plentiful: the area between the Hilton Head Island and Broad River bridges alone will eventually have 50,000 new houses.\r\n\r\nDoing nothing in the face of such growth is not an option; look at what happened to the Chesapeake Bay.  Maryland and Virginia essentially sat idly by as unchecked development stripped the bay of its natural defenses to runoff pollutants, essentially destroying an entire ecosystem.  Letting the same thing happen here would be both immoral and economically stupid.\r\n\r\nWon’t authorizing $20 million for more preservation overburden property owners already taxed to the breaking point?  No, because this is clearly a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  If the funding is approved, property owners in Beaufort County will pay an extra $4 in taxes annually for each $100,000 in property value.  Their lot would be much better than that of the taxpayers in Maryland and Virginia now footing a $20 billion-plus bay-cleanup bill.\r\n\r\nDoesn’t land preservation hurt economic development? No. There is more than ample space for new businesses, both large (in our county’s mostly vacant industrial parks) and small (in numerous designated spaces within urban areas).\r\n\r\nThe R&amp;CL program actually promotes our economy in several ways.  For example, it has helped ensure the viability of the Marine Corps Air Station, our county’s largest job supplier, by acquiring buffer areas.  As a result, unlike other air bases (e.g., Oceana in Virginia Beach), the MCAS is not hemmed in by development, something that will stand it in good stead when the next round of BRAC closures begin.\r\n\r\nOur ecosystem and historic places are amenities that enhance the value of all properties in Beaufort County. Unlike other areas, and thanks in large part to the R&amp;CL program, we’ve neither trashed our environment nor paved over our past; as a result, our county and its municipalities routinely appear on lists of “best places to live.”\r\n\r\nFinally, and surpassing all other reasons to support the pending referendum, there’s this: it’s simply the right thing to do. Aldo Leopold once wrote of “a need for a new ethic, an ethic dealing with human’s relation to land and to the animals and plants which grow upon it.” Through our support of the R&amp;CL program, we’ve made that new ethic a reality; we’ve declared our love for and allegiance to what makes our county special.  Let’s keep that ethic alive.\r\n\r\n<i>Tom Davis represents Beaufort County in the South Carolina State Senate.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Vote “Yes” to approve funds for land-preservation program', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'vote-yes-to-approve-funds-for-land-preservation-program', '', '', '2014-10-23 10:49:20', '2014-10-23 14:49:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19429', 0, 'post', '', 0),

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. Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodàly, a man of indefatigable energy, vision, and honor, whose musical contributions cut across disciplines and generations, will lead up to intermission. <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. The 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. Returning 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.

Schools graded A-C met federal accountability standards, while schools rated D-F did not.\r\n\r\nMoss said that the federal rating system requires schools to improve each year in order to earn the same grade.  “The bar is raised each year,” he said, “so a school that doesn’t improve from one year to the next can get a lower grade.”\r\n\r\nThe district’s five highest-rated schools in the federal report were Okatie Elementary (100), Pritchardville Elementary (98.3), Red Cedar Elementary (97.9), Riverview Charter (97.3) and Bluffton Elementary (94.4).\r\n\r\nFive Title I schools — schools with high percentages of students from low-income families — were recognized as “Reward Schools for Performance” for earning A or B grades for the past two years and having no significant achievement gaps.  Those five were Broad River Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Port Royal Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary and Lady’s Island Middle schools.\r\n\r\nRed Cedar Elementary also was named a “Reward School for Progress” by ranking in the Top 10 percent of Title I schools that made “the most substantial progress” in improving the academic achievement of all students and students from various demographic groups.\r\n\r\n<b>School grades</b>\r\n\r\nDistrict schools receiving an A for 2014 were:  Bluffton Elementary, Bluffton High, Coosa Elementary, Hilton Head Island High, Mossy Oaks Elementary, Okatie Elementary, Port Royal Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, Red Cedar Elementary and Riverview Charter School.\r\n\r\nSchools receiving a B were:  Battery Creek High, Beaufort Elementary, Beaufort Middle, Beaufort High, Bluffton Middle, Broad River Elementary, Hilton Head Island Early Childhood, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts, Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Lady’s Island Middle and Michael C.

That role can make significant demands on your time, energy and financial resources.\r\n\r\nThe challenge is even greater if you’re also dealing with raising and educating children, grandchildren, or perhaps helping a new graduate get a start in the world. According to AARP, about 66 million Americans take care of a parent, spouse, relative or other loved one, and roughly a third are also raising a child — at the same time.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19461\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"199\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Katie-Phifer.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19461\" alt=\"Katie Cuppia Phifer\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Katie-Phifer-199x300.jpg\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" /></a> Katie Cuppia Phifer[/caption]\r\n\r\n“While you may want to provide for everyone’s needs, it’s probably not possible,” says Deborah Eickhoff, vice president, High Net Worth Planning Group at Wells Fargo Advisors.\r\n\r\nStill, there is good news. Consider the following four steps as you map out a strategy to help balance your family obligations without sacrificing your own financial security.\r\n\r\n<b>1. Prioritize your expenditures. </b>Taking care of your parents and children at the cost of your own long-term financial security is counterproductive. If you’re looking at how to afford healthcare and living expenses for a parent, or education or living expenses for a child, it is important to explore all of your options before depleting your retirement savings. Your parents or your children may have access to more resources than you do.\r\n\r\n“Start by creating your own retirement plan,” Eickhoff says. “Once you have that plan in place, you can figure out what you can actually afford to do for your kids and your parents.” As a Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Advisor, I utilize the Envision® investment planning process, which can help you create this plan and show you how different scenarios of helping kids and parents affect it.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Assess the situation. </b>Does the thought of asking your aging parents about the way they handle their household finances — or how they’d feel about moving to a nursing home — fill you with anxiety? You are not alone.\r\n\r\nHowever, it is important to develop a clear understanding of your role in your parents’ care and the finances that will have to support it. You can’t afford to delay this conversation. As your parents get older, it’s important to sit down with them and talk about their health and financial well-being — before urgent decisions are forced on you or your family.\r\n\r\nStart by getting a handle on your parents’ current living costs, and try to estimate what the outlays will be down the road. Long-term care costs vary by state, so if you and your parents are considering assisted living or home health care, you will have to do some research for the state where they expect to retire. In South Carolina, the average annual expense today for a private room in an assisted living facility is $51,672, according to the average local cost of long-term care based on John Hancock’s Cost of Care Study, conducted by LifePlans, Inc., 2013. Individual facility costs may vary.\r\n\r\n<b>3. Make the most of financial resources. </b>Spend and invest every dollar where it will do the most good. Contributions to 401(k) s, IRAs, and 529 college savings accounts offer tax benefits that can help your savings grow more quickly.  An additional consideration is a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA will generally appeal to people who want tax-deferred earnings, and are OK with the idea of making after-tax contributions now in exchange for tax-free distributions in retirement.\r\n\r\nLong-term care insurance, which can help cover nursing home and home health care expenses, may be worth considering for your parents — or for you. Eickhoff notes that premiums on such policies rise sharply for older buyers, but the coverage is more affordable for people in their 50s and 60s.\r\n\r\nYour parent’s financial situation may even make her eligible for certain benefits. One example is income. If your parent’s annual income is relatively low, you may be able to claim him or her as a dependent on your tax return. This may defray the cost of care. Talk with your tax advisor before doing this to see if your situation qualifies.\r\n\r\n<b>4. You have support.</b> You don’t have to do the heavy lifting alone. Reach out to other family members. They may have different ideas about how to help your parents, so discuss the level of care your parents need and define your respective roles. It’s important to discuss details such as how much time, energy and money each of you is willing to contribute to help your parents. Resources such as Eldercare.gov, Caregiver.com and Medicare.gov can provide useful information and contacts. Regardless of your family’s size, know that you can find assistance to help you manage.\r\n\r\nAs more and more people face the challenges of being part of the “sandwich generation,” it is important to understand your own goals for your retirement, and the goals of your loved ones. Having a plan in place and following the above steps will help this new reality become more manageable.\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Katie Cuppia Phifer, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC at 843-982-1506.

This is an odd, but true, premise.\r\n\r\nRecently, in a personal session I was experiencing, I heard my talented healer friend and colleague echo similar sentiments when she told me, “Expectations are the killers of joy.” How many of us spend major chunks of our time wallowing in our life not turning out the way we expected it would? I know I have trudged through that sludge.\r\n\r\nI can practically hear readers vehemently digging in and saying, “Listen, Sutty, if it hadn’t been for a little healthy competition, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” I’ll not argue that point, but I’ll ask this question, What is healthy? Is healthy result oriented? Do the ends justify the blah, blah, blah?\r\n\r\nWith any form of energy work and spirituality overall, we want to look at ourselves, primarily because there’s only one person you can control in this world and that’s the man in the mirror. (Reference Michael Jackson’s hit song.)\r\n\r\nGranted, we don’t live in a vacuum, but when we compete, expect, and compare ourselves to others, we are distracting from our life’s work, whatever it may be. Life isn’t a football field or a golf course, although I frequently use sports analogies effectively in sessions. When we focus on keeping up with the Kardashians, we’re shifting the focus away from the essential work that brings our emotions, bodies, and spirituality into alignment with our highest and best.\r\n\r\nWait, there’s a M6 convertible! What was I saying? Listen to those four tailpipes throbbing out the heartbeat of Bavaria. Are those 22” Pirellis? Yep, I think he’s got the Brembo brake package too. “Wham!” I’ve just run into the parked car, while I was picturing myself in the driver’s seat of that other guy’s Beemer, racing through that tight-box 7-speed with his beautiful wife riding shotgun. That’s right, no paddle shifters for this fella. I sure would like to be on his Pottery Barn couch, with his dime wife, overlooking the Atlantic from his oceanfront house.\r\n\r\nIn reality, the guy’s looker of a wife snores at night and bores by day. Maintenance on that oceanfront house and past due car payments have torn his back asunder; or was it the local loan shark that sent a few kidney punches his way as a reminder that doubling down on the Tide Rolling over Ole Miss was ill-advised, but I wouldn’t see that since I’m smack talking the absent owner of the parked car I just ran into.\r\n\r\nAnd while we’re on the subject of smack talk, it often goes together with competition. Get under the other guy’s skin and it’s like the 12th man in Seattle. Maybe it’s a little good-natured ribbing, which I have been guilty of on the golf course, or you’re razzing about the loss by your competition’s favorite team or political figure. Either way, when we’re tearing down others to get ahead, who becomes the ultimate loser, no matter what the highlight reel looks like? What does shifting the focus away from what we’re doing, what we’re feeling, what we’re reacting to accomplish? Notice how it feels dealing out smack talk and having it dealt out to you. Most don’t go there because it’s too yucky or it never occurs to them. What energy work and spirituality, as a whole, aims to unearth are those feelings that we get a glimpse of when the dust settles and the final locker room door closes.\r\n\r\nYou’ll have to be quick to notice those feelings because a shiny Rolex is right around the corner. It’s those feelings, in all their forms, we want to become aware of to change behaviors that go against our highest and best.\r\n\r\nAs we sit back and ponder all this, just try this one thing: Let the clubs do the talking on the golf course and focus on you when you reach life’s 19th watering hole.\r\n\r\n<i>When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5-year-old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing® as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes.

The City Council Chambers are located in City Hall at 1911 Boundary Street.\r\n\r\nThe $30 million Boundary Street construction project is expected to go out for bids in November and Rob McFee, director of engineering and infrastructure for Beaufort County, said the county hopes to award contracts by early December. Dirt could start moving early next year, he said.\r\n\r\nThe meetings will include an overview of the Boundary Street Redevelopment District, the goals of the construction and how the City plans to keep the community informed during construction. Verity and McFee will lead the discussions.\r\n\r\nBuilding a better Beaufort is the goal of a $30 million investment in Boundary Street to create a safer and more scenic entry to the city, provide better commercial and retail locations, and improve traffic conditions.\r\n\r\nThe project includes:\r\n\r\n• Realigning the intersection of SC 170 and Boundary Street\r\n\r\n• Retrofitting, re-investing and redeveloping neglected areas of the corridor\r\n\r\n• Creating commercial/retail nodes\r\n\r\n• Providing alternate ways for people to reach commercial/retail including bike and walking paths.\r\n\r\nThe entire project, approximately 1.5 miles including side road improvements, is expected to be substantially complete by November 2016.\r\n\r\nThe Boundary Street Redevelopment Corridor project budget is funded through three sources: A Federal Highway Administration grant of $12.635 million, the Beaufort County one cent sales tax for road improvements of $7.819 million and the City of Beaufort’s TIF II estimated contribution of about $6.443 million.', 'Meetings to inform about upcoming Boundary Street construction project', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'meetings-to-inform-about-upcoming-boundary-street-construction-project', '', '', '2014-10-23 11:35:18', '2014-10-23 15:35:18', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19465', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The highlight of the week’s activities was the Great Southeast ShakeOut which took place October 16 at 10:16 a.m.\r\n\r\nThe Great Southeast ShakeOut is part of the largest earthquake safety drills ever held, with an estimated 2.1 million registered participants across the Southeast. Individuals and communities throughout Delaware, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia participate in this annual drill that is designed to teach and practice the recommended safety procedures to take during an earthquake. This year there were an estimated 26.1 million participants registered worldwide for the event.\r\n\r\nThe ShakeOut drill was executed throughout the Beaufort County School District. Broad River Elementary School was chosen as this year’s representative school for the event, and members of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Division were on scene to observe the school in action.\r\n\r\nAt 10:16 a.m. the students were alerted that the drill had begun and were advised to take cover as previously instructed. The students quickly and quietly took shelter under their desks, effectively employing the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” procedure that is recommended to help shield the neck and head against falling debris during an earthquake. At the conclusion of the 60-second drill, the fire alarm was sounded, and students filed outside to pre-determined meeting places. This allowed for the school administrators to accurately account for each and every student and staff member.\r\n\r\nThere have been 24 low-magnitude earthquakes recorded in South Carolina since February 2013, including a 4.1 in Edgefield the evening of February 14.  Our state experiences approximately 10 to 20 earthquakes a year according to geologists with the College of Charleston.  The epicenter of the largest earthquake ever recorded along the eastern United States seaboard was just outside of Charleston on August 31, 1886. The 7.3 magnitude quake devastated the region.\r\n\r\nFor more information on the Great Southeast ShakeOut and earthquake safety and preparedness, visit:  http://www.shakeout.org/southeast.', 'Sheriff’s Office recognizes school for drill performance', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sheriffs-office-recognizes-school-for-drill-performance', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:34', '2018-07-12 15:00:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19471', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It’s a decision that neither has regretted.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19483\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/SueMcCarthy_old-barn.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19483\" alt=\"Sue McCarthy\'s &quot;Old Barn&quot;\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/SueMcCarthy_old-barn-300x298.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" /></a> Sue McCarthy\'s \"Old Barn\"[/caption]\r\n\r\nSue’s journey into art began with another impulsive act.  In the early 1970’s she and her husband purchased an old historic inn located in one of New Hampshire’s loveliest villages.  Surrounded by the White Mountains and plentiful lakes, it was an idyllic place to raise their sons.  A chance meeting with a local artist Barbara “Willey” Fromm encouraged Sue to start a lifetime of painting.\r\n\r\nGrowing up near Chadd’s Ford, Pennsylvania, where Andrew Wyeth spent part of each year, she saw the same hills, trees and buildings that he saw and painted. Sue noticed that he used shadows but very little sunshine.  His light was piercing and showed every flaw, irregularity and nuance. This was a major influence as she began to paint.  Sue spent the next ten years painting oils, mentored by Willey Fromm and truly became an artist. She later studied with another well-known New England artist, Ernie Brown, who introduced her to the fine art of acrylics.  This created a cooler, more subdued palette with more realism.  Painting was put on the back burner for many years, as life pulled her in other directions.  It wasn’t until she moved to Beaufort that she resumed her painting.\r\n\r\nTwo important events happened that enabled Sue to explore her love of putting brush to canvas again.  First, she joined Beaufort Art Association which encouraged her to begin painting, exhibiting and be successful as an artist.  Her second step was when she obtained studio space at Atelier on Bay.  This provided her with room to paint as well as display more of her work, while receiving inspiration from those who also had studios around her.\r\n\r\nOnce Sue began painting in the Lowcountry, she noticed that the southern light appeared very different from light in Northern New England.  The light here held a golden glow, probably caused in part by humidity, warmer temperatures and the arc of the sun.  She realized that her palette needed to be warmer.  In New Hampshire the light was cooler and clearer, sometimes harsh, but always piercing. Both are unique but lead the artist in different directions. In her compositions, the mountains of New Hampshire were dominant, making the sky less important. Here, it is all about the sky.\r\n\r\nSue’s exhibit will run from October 26 through December 6. Her darker, more contemplative works will be displayed along with her expansive sky paintings, landscapes, still lifes, and animals that have inspired her since moving to Beaufort.\r\n\r\nA featured artist reception for Sue McCarthy will take place at Beaufort Art Association, 913 Bay Street, Beaufort, on Friday, October 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.\r\n<div></div>', 'The Art of Sue McCarthy shines at BAA', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-art-of-sue-mccarthy-shines-at-baa', '', '', '2014-10-23 11:52:41', '2014-10-23 15:52:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19482', 0, 'post', '', 0),

On Friday, October 24, two well-known local performers, Terry Herron and Penney Lynn Smith, will present “Moon River: The Life and Music of Johnny Mercer.” Mr. Herron is best known as a musical producer and singer from Hilton Head and Ms. Smith performs with The Sweetgrass Angels, the Swingtime Orchestra and her own jazz combo in and around the Beaufort area.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19492\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"208\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Mercer-Best.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-19492\" alt=\"Johnny Mercer\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Mercer-Best.jpg\" width=\"208\" height=\"282\" /></a> Johnny Mercer[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhether you are a Johnny Mercer fan, a jazz fan, love American popular music, or are interested in the history and famous citizens of Savannah, this musical variety show has something for everyone. The performance includes many of Mercer’s best known songs like Summer Wind, Come Rain Or Come Shine, and of course, Moon River. In addition to the two vocalists, the show also features Rick Radcliff on piano and Randall Reese on saxophone, flute and clarinet.  According to lead vocalist Herron, “Mercer was a master with lyrics and his poetic, rhythmic, story-telling words cover an amazing span of emotions that are as relevant today as when he wrote them.”\r\n\r\nIn addition to music, the evening will also include a short film of Mercer performing his songs with fellow entertainment giants like Nat King Cole and Mel Torme, as well as commentary by Mercer authority, David Oppenheim, who will speak about Mercer’s life and answer questions from the audience.  Of particular interest to many will be Mercer’s background and early life in Savannah. Johnny Mercer was descended from a prestigious Savannah family, stretching back to colonial times. He was a choirboy at Christ Church and a student at the Chatham Academy. As the son of a wealthy family, he was exposed to all of the art and culture that the city offered, from African-American spirituals, to traveling musicals, cinema, and popular music of the Jazz Age. Mercer maintained a close relationship with his mother throughout his life and often cited Savannah and his time spent there as a major influence on his music and lyrics.\r\n\r\nThe performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24 at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza.

In the history of Jazz music there is only one band leader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold out concerts all over the world with members personally chosen by him, for nearly 30 years after his death.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19495\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/CBO-caption-band-live-horizontal.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19495\" alt=\"The Count Basie Orchestra performing at the Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington, on March 31, 2012.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/CBO-caption-band-live-horizontal-300x231.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" /></a> The Count Basie Orchestra performing at the Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington, on March 31, 2012.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe basic fundamentals of Basie’s orchestra were and still are foot stomping 4/4 swing, an unparalleled use of dynamic contrasts, shouting the blues at any tempo, and danceable.  The Count Basie Orchestra can be viewed between 1935 and 1955 as the Old Testament and New Testament bands. The Old Testament band’s style was a combination of spontaneously developed riff-driven, or “head” arrangements, full of the blues and relaxed, but intense swing that showcased some of the greatest names in Jazz history in Lester Young, Hershel Evans, Harry Edison, Buck Clayton, Dicky Wells, Jo Jones, Freddie Green and Jimmy Rushing among others. The New Testament Count Basie Orchestra was formed circa 1952 after Basie’s brief hiatus from the full orchestra as he was working with a small group of six to seven pieces during the industry imposed recording ban that began in 1948. With the April in Paris recording in 1955, the orchestra began to set standards of musical achievement that have been emulated by every jazz orchestra since that time.\r\n\r\nThe orchestra has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once, won 18 Grammy Awards, performed for Kings, Queens and other world royalty, appeared in several movies, television shows, at every major jazz festival and concert hall in the world.\r\n\r\nScotty Barnhart was appointed as the director of The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra in 2013 following the leadership of Thad Jones, Frank Foster, Grover Mitchell, Bill Hughes, and Dennis Mackrel. Current members include musicians hired by Basie himself: Carmen Bradford (1983), Clarence Banks (1984), as well as Mike Williams (1987), Doug Miller (1989), and members who have joined in the last 15 years: David Keim, Alvin Walker, Will Matthews, Marshall McDonald, Doug Lawrence, Cleave Guyton.\r\n\r\nAdmission to this performance requires a ticket purchase.

He has a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with a minor in Education from the University of North Carolina, a master’s degree in Mathematics Teaching from The Citadel in Charleston, and a Master’s of Education in Private School Leadership from Columbia University in New York.\r\n\r\nStephen taught math for 19 years and then stepped into a combined administration/teaching role.  He was Head of Upper School at the The Boys’ Latin School of Maryland in Baltimore from 2009-2013 and most recently was the Head of Upper School at Augusta Prep in Augusta, Georgia, from 2013-2014. He also used to coach “a little bit” of basketball and was a track and field coach during his teaching years.\r\n\r\nHappy to be back home in the Lowcountry, Stephen is responsible for the day to day operations at Beaufort Academy.  He credits a wonderful faculty and staff who help make his job easier to accomplish.\r\n\r\n“I am grateful to be a part of this terrific school community,” says Stephen. “Everyone here at Beaufort Academy and in the Beaufort area has been wonderfully nice and welcoming.  I am lucky to work with the great people at Beaufort Academy and lucky to be here in Beaufort.”\r\n\r\nStephen says his primary goal as headmaster at Beaufort Academy is to provide students with the best possible education and he feels that in a small independent setting much can be accomplished.\r\n\r\n“We try to show our students that we truly care about them and that we want to help them make good decisions and be good citizens as they prepare for college and for life.”\r\n\r\nWorking with students for as long as he has, Stephen knows there is the potential for a surprise every day.\r\n\r\n“You never know what to expect,” Stephen says. “We recently had our Golden Gala celebrating the 50th year for the school.  During the program, a video was played of our students answering a few questions including, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’  We had everything from a kindergartner who wants to be a paleontologist to an upper school student who jokingly replied, ‘I want to be a corporate fat cat.’  The point is that you never know what you may hear a student say on any given day, and that is what makes this work fun.  The students are great to work with and can always put a smile on your face.”\r\n\r\nStephen and his wife Christy are parents of Sam and Caroline who are in the first and second grades at Beaufort Academy. And if running a school and parenting wasn’t enough, Stephen recently became of member of Beaufort Rotary.\r\n\r\nAs Stephen looks to the future with Beaufort Academy, he says he would love to see the school grow in the coming years.\r\n\r\n“Beaufort is great place to live with many hidden gems. I believe that Beaufort Academy is one of these gems. I hope that we will be able to expand our offerings and attract more students into our school community in the years ahead.”\r\n\r\nBeaufort Academy is located at 240 Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island.

Glover’s Sunday evening concert at the Fripp Island Beach Club was the highlight of the annual fundraising event.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThis year’s co-chairs Anne Hoyle and Diane McGarry couldn’t have been more pleased. Although contributions are still being tallied, the event has already raised over $55,000 for the Beaufort Memorial Keyserling Cancer Center — a cause that is near and dear to the community’s heart.\r\n\r\n“Each year we are reminded just how special and generous the people are that live on Fripp Island,” said event co-founder Bev Fineis.\r\n\r\nCo-founder Chris Assaf remembers when a friend on Fripp was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.  She and several others took turns driving their neighbor to daily radiation treatments in Savannah.  And as they drove down Ribaut Road, her friend pointed wistfully to the Keyserling Cancer Center in Port Royal — under construction at the time — and said, “If they were open now, I could go there.”\r\n\r\nThat’s when Assaf realized what a difference the Keyserling Cancer Center would make in the lives of people who live in this community. It’s hard enough to fight cancer without a three-hour daily commute for treatment.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, the Fripp Island Women’s Golf Association was holding their annual charity golf tournament.  As that event grew in scale, Assaf and Fineis proposed changing the name to FRIPP FOR A CURE and designating the Keyserling Cancer Center as the beneficiary.\r\n\r\nAnd what a difference that has made. In the last five years, FRIPP FOR A CURE has raised nearly $200,000 for the Keyserling Cancer Center.  These donations have helped continue the Beaufort Memorial Hospital\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19501\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_3280.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19501\" alt=\"Rich Assaf and Rick Toomey with 2014 co-chairperson Diane McGarry.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/IMG_3280-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Rich Assaf and Rick Toomey with 2014 co-chairperson Diane McGarry.[/caption]\r\n\r\nFoundation’s tradition of underwriting at least half of all building, equipment and enhancements to the eight-year-old facility.\r\n\r\n“Fripp for a Cure has jump-started the accumulation of funds we will need to keep the Foundation’s half of the bargain,” said BMH Foundation Executive Director Alice Moss, noting that the need for significant equipment replacement and expansion are inevitable in the not-too-distant future.\r\n\r\n“We are in awe of the passion and the effort put forth by our Fripp Island friends to make such a significant impact,” said Moss. “Their efforts will help Beaufort Memorial to continue to use the very latest technologies and provide the very best care for our cancer patients.”\r\n<div></div>', 'Fripp for a Cure features golf, Glover and goodwill', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'fripp-for-a-cure-features-golf-glover-and-goodwill', '', '', '2014-10-23 12:22:36', '2014-10-23 16:22:36', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19499', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19543, 4, '2014-10-30 02:33:13', '2014-10-30 06:33:13', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nI recently took part in the National Canine Health Symposium that featured the best and brightest in the world of integrative veterinary medicine — vets, nutritionists and behaviorists. The keynote address was by pet food blogger and editor-at-large of <i>Dogs Naturally</i> magazine, Rodney Habib. The topic? How marketing hype is killing our pets.\r\n\r\nHaving owned a marketing and design firm in the Midwest for the first 22 years of my professional life, I know first-hand that what you see, hear and read, when it comes to what you want to purchase, is not necessarily the truth. Rodney was telling a story I understand all too well.\r\n\r\nA trip down the pet food aisle these days will boggle the mind with all the wonderful claims made by manufacturers for their particular products. But what’s the truth behind all this marvelous hype? You might be very surprised.\r\n\r\n<b>Niche claims. </b>Today, if you have tiny dog, a canine athlete, a fat dog, or a pet with a tender tummy or itchy feet, you can find a food “designed” just for your pet’s personal needs. Niche marketing arrived in a big way in the pet food industry when the wonders of a “science” diet began to appear in all brands. Humans like to feel special, and a product with specific appeal is bound to sell better than a general product called “dog food.”  But the reality is that there are only two nutritional standards against which all pet foods are measured — adult and growth/gestation/lactation.  Everything else is marketing.\r\n\r\n<b>“Natural” or “Organic” claims. </b>The definition of “natural” adopted by AAFCO (Association Of American Feed Control Officials) is very broad, and allows for artificially processed ingredients that most of us would consider very unnatural. The term “organic,” on the other hand, has a very strict legal definition. However, some companies are adept at evading the intent of these rules. If 10% of the very last product on the ingredient list happens to be organic, then legally it’s okay to print that on the bag even when everything else is chemical-laden, GMO fright food. Also, the name of the company or product may be intentionally misleading. For instance, some companies use terms like “Nature” or “Natural” or linguistic derivatives like “Naturo” in the brand name, whether or not their products fit the definition of what is truly natural.\r\n\r\n<b>Ingredient quality claims. </b>A lot of pet foods claim they contain “human grade” ingredients. This is a completely meaningless term — which is why the pet food companies get away with using it. The same applies to “USDA inspected” or similar phrases. The implication is that the food is made using ingredients that are passed by the USDA for human consumption, but there are many ways around this. For instance, a facility might be USDA-inspected during the day, but the pet food is made at night after the inspector goes home. The use of such terms should be viewed as a “Hype Alert.”\r\n\r\n<b>“Meat is the first ingredient” claim.</b> A claim that a named meat (chicken, lamb, etc.) is the #1 ingredient is generally seen for dry food. Ingredients are listed on the label by weight, and raw chicken weighs a lot since it contains a lot of water. If you look further down the list, you’re likely to see ingredients such as chicken or poultry by-product meal, meat-and-bone meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, or other high-protein meal. Meals have had the fat and water removed, and basically consist of a dry, lightweight protein powder. It doesn’t take much raw chicken to weigh more than a great big pile of this powder, so in reality the food is based on the protein meal, with very little “chicken.” This has become a very popular marketing gimmick. Since just about everybody is now using it, any meaning it may have had is so watered-down that you may just as well ignore it.\r\n\r\n<b>Special ingredient claims.</b> Many high-end pet foods today rely on the marketing appeal of people-food ingredients such as fruits, herbs, and vegetables. However, the amounts of these items actually present in the food are miniscule because real fruits, herbs and vegetables are expensive. The items that make it into the bag are usually scraps and rejects from processors of human foods — certainly not the whole, fresh ingredients they want you to imagine. Such ingredients don’t provide a significant health benefit and are really a marketing gimmick. You’d be much better served chucking a hunk of broccoli than purchasing kibble that has colorful pictures of vegetables on the bag.  Every dog knows the orange triangles in his kibble aren’t carrots, but owners are not that smart.\r\n\r\nPet food marketing and advertising has become extremely sophisticated recently. It’s important to know what is hype and what is real, so you can make informed decisions about what to feed your pets.\r\n<div></div>', 'Marketing tricks that will cost you, and your dog ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'marketing-tricks-that-will-cost-you-and-your-dog-2', '', '', '2014-10-30 02:33:13', '2014-10-30 06:33:13', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19543', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19550, 4, '2014-10-30 02:39:39', '2014-10-30 06:39:39', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nI just love the phrase “Turkey Wine.”  Many times it is misunderstood. Not by me, of course, but by those who might hear me call a wine a “Turkey Wine.”  “Turkey Wine” does not refer to a wine from Turkey, the country. It refers to any wine that might go well with turkey. The stuffed bird we over-feed  ourselves with for Thanksgiving and other holidays. And, in addition to just the stuffed bird, it refers to a wine that will go with all the other piles of food and flavors we have on our plates with the bird.  Over the years, we’ve tried all kinds of wines. Reds. Whites. Bubbles. Some of us have our favorites and use them every year. Some of us change it up, depending on who we’re eating with, what we feel like one year as opposed to previous years, budgets (or lack of such), and new wines that we’ve learned about and managed to remember and that seem just right for this particular meal. Today, we get one of these new wines. And, get this, we don’t have to remember it for too awfully long. Turkey Day is closer than we need it to be.\r\n\r\nOur journey this week is to Argentina. I don’t remember for sure, but we may not have done this week’s region of Argentina ever before. Or this week’s grape variety. If we have, it’s been a long time. Long, long time. And we definitely have to fix that!  So, our region is Salta. Way up in the northwestern part of the country. Salta is the name of a province, in the Lerma Valley, and the name of the capital city of the province.  It is situated at almost thirty-eight hundred feet above sea level.  Right on the edge of the Andes Mountains. (This high elevation has a lot to do with their wines, which we’ll get to soon enough.) Of all Argentine cities, the colonial Spanish architecture of Salta is the best preserved.  A good thing for them because it attracts many tourists, and their money, to the area. Salta was founded in 1582, by a Spanish conquistador, Hernando de Lerma, as an outpost between Lima and Buenos Aires. For years, it was controlled by the military, and, after the war of independence, it was in disarray and bankrupt. It wasn’t until the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries that things started to get better in Salta. Italian, Spanish and Arab immigrants came into the area and trade and agriculture were revived. Today, this mix of immigrants and native Indians give Salta a unique cultural flavor.\r\n\r\nMoving on to our grape variety for this week - Torrontés. This is a white variety that produces fresh and aromatic wines with moderate acidity, a smooth texture and a juicy mouth-feel. It has distinct aromas of peach and apricots. Technically there are three variations of Torrontés grown in Argentina. Torrontés Riojano is the most common. It is the most aromatic of the three, with aromas that remind you of Muscat and Gewurztraminer. (Do we all remember how Gewurztraminer is also a good “Turkey Wine?”) This is the most grown variation of Torrontés grown in Argentina. Torrontés Sanjuanino and Torrontés Mendocino are the other two versions of this grape. There are almost thirty-five thousand acres of Torrontés planted in the country. Plantings at high altitudes, over fifty-five hundred feet above sea level, in locations like the Calchaquîes Valley in Salta, have met with great success. That’s vineyards that are a mile up there. Definitely some of the very highest vineyards in the world.\r\n\r\nTorrontés vines are very productive and account for about twenty percent of all Argentine white wines. And, the acreage of planted Torrontés is continually increasing. That means more and more of these wines are available all the time. In 2004, just under thirty thousand cases were imported into the United States. In 2010, however, that number was up to more than two hundred thirty thousand cases. By contrast, also in 2010, over three million cases of Argentine Malbec were imported into the United States. So, Torrontés is growing, but has a long way to go. Research into the origins of Torrontés show it is a cross between a Mission variety, Criolla Chica, and Muscat of Alexandria. This connection to Mission grapes means that Argentine Torrontés grapes are not related to Spanish Torrontés, despite their names being the same. Why?  Because Mission grapes are indigenous to the Americas. And have not traveled anywhere else. There is even a red grape that uses the Torrontés name. Torrontés wines, our white wines, can range in style from light and fresh to heady and unctuous with heavy perfuminess.  They can be spicy, slippery in texture, full of white flower aromas.\r\n\r\nOur Torrontés comes from the Michel Torino Winery, located in Cafayate (kah-fah-cha-ta).  Cafayate is a town located in the Calchaquíes Valley in Salta. Prime Torrontés country. The town itself is a big tourist center, partly for its wines and partly for its history and beautiful mountains. The Cafayates were an Indian tribe that lived in the valley before the Spanish Conquistadores. There are many versions of what the name Cafayate means — “box of water,” “great lake,” “great chief,” “ wealthy people,” or “grave of sorrows.”  All we need to really know is their wines. They are considered to be the best from Salta province and from the Calchaquíes Valley. And there Michel Torino owns more than fifteen hundred acres.\r\n\r\nTwo brothers founded the winery in 1892. Salvador and David. It is now the most important winery in the region. They practice “Zero Farming,” which means their commitment to the environment is as important as their wines. All their grapes are sustainably grown and hand harvested. Their organic cultivation is actually helped by the extremely high elevation of their vineyards. Hot days and cool nights, the up and down fluctuating temperatures, making more complex flavors in the their grapes. And not a lot of bugs live that high up, or a lot of birds who would eat the bugs, and grapes. The wines are made at cool temperatures, most of the aging is done in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, and they are meant to be drunk young. Our wine is the Michel Torino Cuma Torrontés. Cuma is their most organic tier of wines. It is a bright greenish yellow color. And smells like rose petals. Beautiful! (You know, in aromatherapy and such, rose is a very relaxing scent.) With bits of jasmine and orange zest. This Torrontés is fresh, with a crisp acidity and lots of peach and apricot and tropical fruit flavors. It is one hundred percent Torrontés.\r\n\r\nAnd it is a perfect “Turkey Wine!” For only $14.97 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Unfortunately, this is a very limited wine. Yes, bad news. In fact, we’re not supposed to have it. At all. What happened is this. It was sent into South Carolina by mistake. Another wine was supposed to come. Seems mistakes can happen all over. But, there is a finite amount of the Cuma Torrontés to be had. Some of us will be lucky and have some for our holiday meals. Yay!

It was a chance meeting between the painter and a photographer who loves birds and nature as much as she did. Tom Brady and his wife Maureen had bought one of Kathy’s paintings and Tom asked Kathy if she would like to see his photographs.\r\n\r\n“I immediately thought his photographs were brilliant. I loved everything about his pictures: the sharp contrast in colors, his attention to detail, and the interesting poses of the birds. Almost every photo stirred my imagination and when he offered to let me use his photographs as studies for paintings it was a dream come,” says Crowther.\r\n\r\nShe asked what she could do to repay his kindness and Tom indicated they should have a show together. The collaborative work of each artist will exhibit as “Wings” at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts lobby gallery located at USCB’s historic campus, 805 Carteret Street, Beaufort. An opening reception has been scheduled for Monday, November 3 from 5 to 6:30 p.m.\r\n\r\nTom Brady took up photography four years ago after he retired. He joined a photo interest group in Mooresville, NC, where, with his point and shoot camera, he attended monthly photo critiques and learned more about cameras and photography in general. After moving to the Lowcountry, he was overwhelmed by the variety of birds on the ponds and marshes. In last few years he has discovered and captured on film the beauty and wonder of the native bird population through their seasonal habitations and interactions in nature.\r\n\r\nPainting has always been Kathy Crowther’s passion. She loves to take a blank piece of paper and make it come alive. Birds are her specialty. She moved to Beaufort eight years ago and found a wellspring of inspiration through her surroundings.  She has a very distinct style which she developed over the years, painting in gouache and outlining her paintings in ink. She exhibits her work in Beaufort, throughout the south, at Pinckney Simons Gallery and during Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival.\r\n\r\nDetailed information regarding this reception and the programs of the center for the 2014-2015 season can be found at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling the center box office at 843-521-4145.', 'Exhibit features collaborative works of two artists at USCB', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'exhibit-features-collaborative-works-of-two-artists-at-uscb', '', '', '2014-10-30 02:48:44', '2014-10-30 06:48:44', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19561', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19565, 4, '2014-10-30 02:51:19', '2014-10-30 06:51:19', '<b>By Alan Schuster</b>\r\n\r\nSimply put, Carmen is an epic achievement in the 400-plus years of opera. Milton Cross, the distinguished voice of the Met Opera’s Saturday broadcasts for more than 40 years, considered Carmen to be “one of the universal favorites of the operatic stage, filled with vivid musical characterizations, brilliant orchestration and continuously flowing melody.”\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> In a town square in Seville, soldiers wait for girls who will be taking a break from a cigarette factory. Micaela, a young country girl, arrives, searching for a soldier, Don Jose, but doesn’t find him and leaves. Don Jose appears as the cigarette girls are returning to work. Carmen, a stunning gypsy, sees him and tosses him a flower while she’s singing a song. Micaela returns, bringing tidings to Don Jose from his mother, to whom he has promised to marry Micaela. A quarrel  breaks out in the factory; Carmen wounds a friend and is arrested. Don Jose is assigned to guard her, and she tries to seduce him. Her scheme to win her freedom succeeds, and he frees her before they reach the prison. His offense, however, earns him a one month sentence.\r\n\r\n<b>The Music:</b> Carmen’s first dazzling number is her sultry Habanera: “Love is a bird that no one can tame,” sung to a tango. As she sways slowly to its growing rhythm, the orchestra and chorus add a powerful punch to the finish. Bizet gifts her with another equally impressive song, popularly known as the Seguidille. Sung seductively in Don Jose’s presence, she lures him into abetting her arrest escape.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II: </b>At a mountainside inn, Carmen is dancing with her friends when the matador, Escamillo, arrives and flirts with her, but Carmen ignores him in the expectation of Don Jose returning to her. He does, and they spend a brief passionate moment together before he must return to his barracks. Carmen asks him to run away with her to the mountains. Helplessly in love, he follows her.\r\n\r\n<b>The Music: </b>Four set pieces make up this act, each one stunning. At the inn with her gypsy friends, Carmen invokes a soft, sexy mood which gradually grows at a rapid pace, again with a rousing orchestral climax. Next up, Escamillo enters and wastes little time with a self-centered toast to himself, much to the delight of his admirers who cheer him on with a series of familiar “tore-e-ah-dor’s’. Without a doubt, it’s opera’s most recognizable couplet, heard far beyond stage performances worldwide. A unique quintet finds two smugglers looking for three zingarellas (gypsy women) — including Carmen — to join them on a job. “It’s always good” they say, “to have ladies with you when it comes to cheating and thieving.” It’s fast, colorful, and with sharp exchanges among them. A real gem. And finally, a remarkably effective scene in which Carmen tells Don Jose: “Now I dance in your honor”, accompanying herself with castanets while creating a sensuous mood, bringing about a totally obsessed look from him.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III: </b>Hiding with smugglers, Don Jose regrets breaking his promise to Micaela. Carmen, already tired of him, turns her thoughts to Escamillo.  After she foresees her death in tarot cards, Escamillo arrives and when he begins to fight with Don Jose, Carmen separates them. Micaela comes to the hideout pleading with Don Jose to return to his dying mother. He agrees, but not before threatening Carmen that she has not seen the last of him. Carmen, on her way to the bullfight with Escamillo, is warned of Don Jose’s presence nearby. He begs her to return to him but she rejects him. Blinded by jealousy and pain, he stabs Carmen to death.\r\n\r\n<b>The Music:</b> The “Card Trio” launches a brilliant passage of the score. Carmen, squatting on the ground with two friends, learns her fate with tarot cards. “Diamonds, spades ... death!”, she says. Then, in a low voice: “First I, then he,” as she turns and sees Don Jose nearby. It’s a dark and dramatic bit of theatre.\r\n\r\nIn the plaza outside the bull ring, the final scene begins with the popular march of the bullfighters. After they have entered the ring, cheering can be heard as Escamillo performs. Don Jose approaches Carmen near the entrance. Once more, he pleads for her love, but to no avail. As the cheers grow louder, he draws his knife and kills her. The arena doors open. Out pours the crowd to find the body of Carmen near the steps. Throwing himself over her body, Don Jose cries: “Carmen, je t’adore.”  [Running time, excluding intermissions, is two hours and 40 minutes.]\r\n\r\n<b>The principal cast:</b> Mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili returns to the Met, singing her signature role of the ill-fated gypsy temptress. Aleksandrs Antonenko plays Don Jose, and Ildar Abdrazakov is the matador, Escamillo. Pablo Heras-Casado conducts. Rating: PG\r\n\r\nThe next performance will be Rossini’s “Barber of Seville,” Saturday, Nov. 22.\r\n\r\nAll seats are general admission. Tickets are Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10.

Help prevent slashed tires, smashed windows and deliberate car damage on Halloween — and every other day of the year — with these tips:\r\n\r\n<b>Check your surroundings</b>\r\n\r\nWhere you park your car can affect its likelihood of being vandalized. At home, park in the garage. If you don’t have a garage, install motion lights that will help deter vandals and alert you and neighbors to activity near your vehicle or driveway.\r\n\r\nAway from home, park in a well-lit, populated area — preferably a gated lot or secure parking garage. For added protection, park in a spot away from objects that could help conceal vandals, such as large vehicles, dumpsters or shrubbery.\r\n\r\n<b>Eliminate temptations</b>\r\n\r\nRemove valuables and any evidence of them from your vehicle. For example, clean GPS suction rings off your windshield, remove stereo faceplates and store cell phone chargers in the center console.\r\n\r\nBumper stickers also can tempt vandals. If someone doesn’t agree with your expressed views, you may become the target of vandals.\r\n\r\n<b>Take extra security measures</b>\r\n\r\nAdd an alarm system and/or surveillance cameras to your car to make it a less desirable target. If it’s clear your vehicle has these, vandals may keep walking. Sometimes, simply having a security system decal on a window is enough to discourage them.

The Duke Street streetscape improvements will start at Harrington Street, proceeding east toward Charles Street.\r\n\r\nStarting this week, there should be minimal disruptions to include:\r\n\r\n• Crews will begin creating a construction material and equipment storage yard between Church and Newcastle streets\r\n\r\n• Workers will use special saws to begin cutting up the existing pavement\r\n\r\n• Traffic control signage will be installed to warn pedestrians of construction activity\r\n\r\n• Surveys will start for storm drainage improvements\r\n\r\n• Sidewalks will be torn up and removed between Harrington and Church streets.\r\n\r\n“Step by step, we are making some major investments and improvements to key areas such as the Northwest Quadrant,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission. “Our goal is to improve the quality of life for those residents, but also to make the city as a whole more appealing for both residents and businesses.”\r\n\r\nThis is the second phase of streetscape improvements along Duke Street in the Northwest Quadrant, which in 2010 was named one of the nation’s 51 “Best Old House Neighborhoods” by This Old House magazine.\r\n\r\nThe area, once a thriving black middle-class neighborhood just blocks off the Beaufort River, fell into disrepair in the 1970s. It became one of Beaufort’s blighted and neglected areas until renovations started in earnest in the mid-1990s. Starting in 2009, City leaders joined hands with involved area homeowners to remove huge amounts of accumulated debris as well as help them remove overgrowth and clean up the blight.\r\n\r\nSince then, there’s been a fairly steady improvement to sections of the Northwest Quadrant, notably along Bladen Street and Duke Street. From 1995 to present, the City of Beaufort has invested more than $5 million to improve the Northwest Quadrant.\r\n\r\n“This is Phase Two of the Duke Street improvements, and we’ll certainly do our best to keep the disruptions and delays to a minimum,” Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.\r\n\r\nEarlier this week, Dadson and Bill Harvey, the city’s attorney, signed off on an executed contract between the city and JoCo Construction, LLC, a Beaufort-based company.\r\n\r\nThe project contract calls for completion of work within 150 days.

Look at the words we use:  “<i>fighting</i> the good fight” or “<i>battling</i> illness” or “<i>struggling</i> against oppression”.  This can be exhausting — and too often, we don’t seem to make much progress.  Lately, I’ve begun to suspect this way of “warrior” thinking may not always be in our best interest.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19584\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Health-Awakenings-Rebecca-Compton.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-19584\" alt=\"Rebecca Compton\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Health-Awakenings-Rebecca-Compton-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Rebecca Compton[/caption]\r\n\r\nPerhaps less is more.\r\n\r\nPerhaps “being” is more effective than “doing.”\r\n\r\nPerhaps <i>surrender</i> can actually move us forward.  And there is the paradox.\r\n\r\nSometimes, in the course of our lives, we go through times when we find ourselves hitting a “productivity” wall; we may lose our focus, our ability to follow ideas or projects through to some pre-defined conclusion. What do we do?  How do we handle these times in our lives when we just cannot seem to get anything done?\r\n\r\nIn our modern, technology-infused, productivity-focused world, we are often consumed with deadlines, objectives, or sheer “busy—ness”.  And sometimes that just doesn’t work for us. We may find ourselves prevented from moving forward in our lives — <i>in the way that once worked for us</i>.\r\n\r\nWhat if the Universe is trying to tell us something important about the way we’re living our lives?\r\n\r\nWhat if we’re just trying too hard?\r\n\r\nWhat if we’ve been sending our energy in the wrong direction?\r\n\r\nWhat if we could relax into the discomfort of whatever block is showing up for us?\r\n\r\nWhat would happen if we just surrender to the current struggle?\r\n\r\nThis revelation has been very personal for me (I suppose most revelations are personal).  I have been struggling (unsuccessfully) with writing about a particular topic: the distractions in our lives.  The more I tried to make the topic work, the more frustrated I became.  What I’ve realized, just today, was that my insistence on trying to write about one specific topic was preventing me from seeing any other possibilities. I was totally stuck and I couldn’t get much of anything else done. So, I have made the choice to stop fighting with an idea whose time was simply not now. And, of course, once I gave myself permission to just let go of my self-limiting initial idea, another possibility presented itself.  <i>Surrender</i> was the topic all along — I just wouldn’t allow myself to <i>know</i> that.\r\n\r\nThere was no possibility of progress until I fully embodied the idea of surrender. I acknowledged, accepted, relaxed into and was honestly thankful for this moment. And, it was in the moment, I could feel my body and mind release the tension of what <b>I wanted</b> to happen instead of what <b>needed</b> to happen. I was unable to perceive the better path because I was so invested in what my mind wanted (as opposed to what my heart knew).\r\n\r\nPlease understand that in my belief system, surrender is not the same thing as resignation. Resignation would have meant me giving up any notion that I could write at all. Surrender allowed me to release an idea that was not working for me — and that made room for another idea to appear. Resignation would have meant stopping. Surrender was a re-direction. Resignation comes from outside of ourselves; surrender comes from our core selves.\r\n\r\nWhen we are inevitably confronted by blockages in our lives, what do we do? Maybe we need do nothing at all.  Perhaps we can enjoy the delicious irony that surrender may, in fact, bring illumination and evolution.\r\n\r\n<i>Rebecca Compton recently retired from a much loved career as a school librarian.

They learned that engineers create, build, construct and plan. They also learned that engineers use a variety of tools but the students had to use those tools properly.  To incorporate the reading lesson about characters and settings, the class then sought out to build an indestructible home for the Three Little Pigs. They worked in groups to plan, create, and build homes out of different materials, then they tested the houses by re-enacting the story and watching the “Big Bad Wolf.” Ms. Newton try to blow them over with a blow dryer.  Three out of six houses did not fall down. The students then compared the structure of the homes and determined why some were sturdier than others.

As a result, over 70 authors and artists from not only Beaufort and Jasper counties but from across the state and the eastern half of the United States set up booths on the winery’s main public grounds between rows of grapevines.\r\n\r\nSaturday’s festival brought in approximately 1,000 visitors to meet authors, painters, photographers, artists who create works by using wood or metal or glass or gems, historic re-enactors, musicians, chefs, and more, and especially to participate in wine tastings within the September Oaks winery. Teenage classic violinist Murphey Alexandra from Lexington serenaded customers who relaxed in the outdoor room of the winery and banjoist Maggie Rogers of Beaufort performed a variety of songs at the main stage gazebo.\r\n\r\nThe Sons of Confederate Veterans Charles Jones Colcock Camp 2100 of Ridgeland not only participated in the living history on the grounds but also sold lunches to festival attendees. The 54th Massachusetts Regiment Company 1 of Charleston joined in the living history and regaled the audience with stories.\r\n\r\nFor more information, visit www.jandcwordsmiths.com or www.septemberoaks.com.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00416.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19647\" alt=\"DSC00416\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00416-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00318.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19648\" alt=\"DSC00318\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00318-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00324.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19649\" alt=\"DSC00324\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00324-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19650\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00340.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19650\" alt=\"Tim Johnston, local author\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00340-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> Tim Johnston, local author[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00341.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19651\" alt=\"DSC00341\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00341-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00389.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19652\" alt=\"DSC00389\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/DSC00389-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>', '‘Novel’ event features wine, food, artists, authors', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'novel-event-features-wine-food-artists-authors', '', '', '2014-10-30 03:54:16', '2014-10-30 07:54:16', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19645', 0, 'post', '', 0),

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. Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodàly, a man of indefatigable energy, vision, and honor, whose musical contributions cut across disciplines and generations, will lead up to intermission. <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. The 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. Returning 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.
