As they ride their skateboards and go to football practice, they are like millions of other boys coming of age the world over. But faced with difficult circumstances — isolation, instability, and parental unemployment — adolescence can be a daily struggle just to survive. With no road map and all evidence to the contrary, they cling to the hope that even they can live the American dream. “Rich Hill” is an irresistibly moving and inspirational portrait of the challenges, hopes and dreams of rural America’s youth.\r\n\r\nTickets are adults $7, senior $6, students $7.

Sue said that she started the group because she wanted to offer Beaufort parents “an affordable alternative to traditional dance schools.” She was able to do that by using ARTworks, a community arts center, as the home and practice space of the group, which has allowed her to keep costs low — a $25 registration fee and a $20 monthly fee.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18347\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Palmetto-Dancers-crop.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18347\" alt=\"The Palmetto Dancers will be holding open houses at ARTworks for girls ages 4 to 18 who might be interested in joining.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Palmetto-Dancers-crop-300x220.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" /></a> The Palmetto Dancers will be holding open houses at ARTworks for girls ages 4 to 18 who might be interested in joining.[/caption]\r\n\r\nCarol Doe, the mother of two Palmetto Dancers, says that cost was a big factor in her decision to enroll her daughters in the group, but now she sees other benefits.“I can see them working together better, even at home. Her daughters, however, have other reasons for participating. Jamila, a shy girl with beautifully braided hair says, “I like to do spins” and her older sister, J’Lyn” interrupts “and high kicks! Those are fun!”\r\n\r\nAnother unique aspect of the Palmetto Dancers is that they are not a competitive group. They don’t require a closet full of fancy costumes or traveling to regional meets. “This is dance for the sake of fun and learning to work as a group”, says Sue. “Working toward a performance is important, so we look for opportunities to perform in local parades and festivals and we expect a long-term commitment, so that the group can perfect their routines.”\r\n\r\nOn a recent Thursday night, the Palmetto Dancers were practicing a jazz and hip hop dance routine to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”. Music blared from a portable stereo on the side of the stage as the girls tirelessly twirled, kicked and posed to the beat.\r\n\r\nAs the group continues to grow and learn, Sue says that she plans to incorporate more techniques and props such as baton twirling and pom poms. “I wanted to start with the basics and then work up from there. Ultimately, we will divide up into different age groups and skill levels. That’s why we’re having the open houses, to show what we do and sign up new members.”\r\n\r\nFor now, though, the girls onstage in their matching pink T-shirts seem happy practicing and perfecting their dance moves, with only the occasional misstep or burst of giggles.\r\n\r\nThe Open Houses will be August 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. and August 23 from noon to 2 p.m. at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street in Beaufort Town Center; the dancers accept girls ages 4 - 18.

The problem is made worse when the storms come at high tide, which limits the natural system’s ability to absorb the rainfall.\r\n\r\nTo combat the problem in Beaufort, the city contracted with Eadie’s Construction and Palmetto Construction to bring specialized equipment to clean stormwater drains and pipes, said Isiah Smalls, director of public works and facilities management for the city.\r\n\r\n“We have always had problems with stormwater flooding when we get these extra-heavy rain falls,” Smalls said. “Most of our stormwater drainage was built and is owned and controlled by others such as the South Carolina DOT. Having said that, we are working at the worst locations to improve the drainage in the short term, and we’ll take a look at the bigger picture for more permanent solutions.”\r\n\r\nDuring the drain and pipe cleaning process, motorists may experience some delays, Smalls said.\r\n\r\nCity officials encouraged residents to check drain grates in their neighborhoods and either sweep away accumulated debris or alert the city’s Public Works Department at 525-7054.\r\n\r\nFurther, residents and landscapers are reminded not to dump yard debris into roads where it can be washed into the drainage system. Spanish moss, leaves and grass clippings serve as clogs that bind to sand and dirt particles, creating drain and pipe blockages that have severely affected the stormwater drainage system in Beaufort, Smalls said.\r\n\r\nThere is no limit on the number of bags of normal yard debris that can be placed curbside by Beaufort residents. However, they must be sure that no bag weighs more than 50 pounds and that any bundled items, such as branches, don’t exceed four feet in length or 50 pounds.\r\n\r\nLeaves and branch pickups are made once weekly in the city.

With a thirst for knowledge and a knack for memorizing facts, Wennie needed a different kind of education to truly challenge her, said her mother, Welneliza.\r\n\r\nWennie is enrolled at South Carolina Connections Academy, a tuition-free virtual public school option for students in grades K-12 throughout South Carolina. She joined the online school when her mother decided to look into school options that would work with Wennie’s piano practice schedule and advanced learning abilities.\r\n\r\n“When we were looking for schooling options for Wennie, South Carolina Connections Academy offered the flexibility we wanted, but also the support from individual teachers that we needed,” said Welneliza Rodriguez. “The flexibility is key for us. Wennie can practice piano three times a day, and still stay on top of her lessons. We also don’t have to worry about traveling because Wennie can bring the classroom with her.”\r\n\r\nWennie interacts with her classmates and receives instruction from her teachers in LiveLesson® sessions — a virtual classroom setting that encourages the same lively interactions of a traditional classroom, but online. Students can chat amongst themselves and even virtually raise their hands. Welneliza Rodriguez said in addition to the technology that allows Wennie to connect to her teachers and peers, she is grateful that the curriculum is challenging and tailored to Wennie’s needs.\r\n\r\nThe Rodriguez family has also found that extracurricular activities have enriched their daughter’s socialization experience. Wennie is able to connect with other students in South Carolina and across the U.S. through participation in extracurricular activities like the Math Club, Movie Club and the National Junior Honor Society.\r\n\r\nSouth Carolina Connections Academy, which is authorized under state law by the South Carolina Public Charter School District, expects to serve more than 3,800 students throughout the state during the 2014-15 school year. South Carolina-certified teachers work with students and learning coaches, the student’s parent or guardian, to develop customized learning programs that address each student’s personal education needs while maintaining a curriculum that meets rigorous state education standards.\r\n\r\nVirtual schooling is proving to be the right fit for Wennie as well as for many other students, including those who benefit from a flexible schedule, those who learn at a different pace from their peers or those who need more individualized attention. The diverse student body includes competitive athletes with rigorous schedules, previously homeschooled students, and students seeking expanded course offerings, among others.\r\n\r\nFor more about South Carolina Connections Academy, visit www.southcarolinaconnectionsacademy.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'Local child pianist finds success with online school', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'local-child-pianist-finds-success-with-online-school', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:40', '2018-07-12 15:00:40', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18370', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18411, 4, '2014-08-28 09:21:25', '2014-08-28 13:21:25', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nLast summer an email appeared unexpectedly in my inbox. I thought it was a hoax. No such luck. Topic: Forbes magazine published an interview with Royal Canin’s president, Keith Levy. Levy was introducing the new “anallergenic” formula kibble made with ground up chicken feathers. No, really. The title of the article was <i>Dog Food Made From Feathers: A Win-Win for Royal Canin</i>.\r\n\r\nAccording to Mr. Levy, This “anallergenic” line was 10 years in the making, using feather meal (FM in industry parlance) as the main source of protein. It is designed for intensely allergic dogs for which even novel protein diets (buffalo, kangaroo, rabbit) don’t seem to work. There are 47 ingredients in this product. Here are the top 10: <i>Corn starch, hydrolyzed poultry by-products aggregate [feather meal], coconut oil, soybean oil, natural flavors, potassium phosphate, powdered cellulose, calcium carbonate, sodium silico aluminate, chicory</i> ...\r\n\r\nThe lead item in any list of pet food ingredients is, according to AAFCO regs. The Association of American Feed Control Officials is the organization that calls the shots for pet food and NOT a governmental entity — 70% of what’s in the bag.  So, most of this product is cornstarch. The next ingredient on the list is <i>hydrolyzed poultry by-products aggregate</i>, which is a technical name for feather meal. According to Levy, feather meal is<i> “not only nutritious but can also be made very palatable to dogs.”</i> The feathers are broken down to an amino acid level, and palatizers are added for taste so it doesn’t taste of ... feathers?\r\n\r\nLevy says one of the benefits to using feather meal is that it supports the company’s efforts in sustainability.  <i>“Ultimately we’ll have an issue with finding protein for the human food chain. By using alternative sources of protein, we’re using something that would otherwise end up in a landfill,” </i>says Levy. <i>“It’s the best of both worlds: You’re not competing with the human food chain, reducing waste and providing an incredibly nutritiou</i><i>s protein.”</i>\r\n\r\nNow, I’m all for recycling and all for seeking sustainable food sources, however, I cringe at the thought of my dog friends eating things that should be made into pillows or, even better, thrown out.\r\n\r\nThe question, beyond the gross-out factor, comes down to protein quality. What would you rather feed your pet — 4 ounces of real chicken meat or 4 ounces of ground chicken feathers and corn starch? All three ingredients contain protein, but they are definitely not equal. Ounce for ounce, the real chicken provides more protein, and the protein is highly digestible and usable. Pets can eat smaller quantities to receive the optimal level of protein when it is a digestible protein. In contrast, the ground feathers contain protein, but in a non-digestible form, as in they’re FEATHERS. Real meat offers highly digestible protein — protein that can be easily broken down by your pet’s body. Your pet cannot digest and cannot live on the protein contained in feathers. It simply passes through the digestive system unused.\r\n\r\nLevy continues,<i> “We’re looking for lots of different sources of protein for our foods: hydrolyzed soy; we are currently researching worm meal as a potential protein source for some of our foods in China,”</i> he told the interviewer. <i>“Few brands are more expensive than us,”</i> Levy bragged in the interview.\r\n\r\nAnd once again, we are faced with the really naive belief that just because a dog food is at the top of the price range, it is not necessarily because the quality of the food is, too. Then, there is the added concern about sourcing in China.\r\n\r\nAnd the kicker? You can only purchase the food from specialty retailers with a veterinary prescription. Add another layer of authenticity. Currently, on Chewy.com, a 19.8 pound bag of RC Anallergenic Formula runs $86.99. Bonus: shipping is free.\r\n<div></div>', 'Horsefeathers!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'horsefeathers', '', '', '2014-08-28 09:21:25', '2014-08-28 13:21:25', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18411', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18418, 4, '2014-08-28 09:27:49', '2014-08-28 13:27:49', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nIt’s my second week in Italy, sorry you’re all not here too. There’s so much to do and see and eat and drink. Today we’re going to have a structured and organized drink, or drinks, all courtesy of our tour and tasting and lunch with Fattorie Melini.\r\n\r\nWe will learn about the old history and grape varieties from the region we are visiting, Tuscany, and also some first-hand information about the Melini winery — its history, founders and wines.\r\n\r\nSome of the oldest winemaking regions in the world are in Italy. Greeks and Etruscans had vineyards here way before the Romans. There is archeological evidence that the Romans had vineyards planted by the 2nd century BC, and they spread all over the country.\r\n\r\nItaly is now the world’s largest producer and the fifth in per capita consumption. (I have a slight suspicion that their consumption number may be lower after some of us get out of their country.)  There are 20 wine regions, each with a wide range of grape varieties. Many of these grow in more than one region, and many are indigenous to Italy.\r\n\r\nSince we are living in Tuscany for the time being — and to save too much boredom from repeating too much from previous articles — we are going to look at the main red variety that Tuscany is known for: Sangiovese. This is the red grape that is responsible for all Chianti wines and other superb red wines as well. (Fattorie Melini is a Chianti winery.)\r\n\r\nThe name Sangiovese means the “blood of Jove,” Jove being a Roman deity who was king of all the Gods and ruled over the sky/heavens and thunder and lighting. He was also known as Jupiter and was the main Roman deity until Christianity became the primary religion.\r\n\r\nThere are at least 14 clones of Sangiovese. Brunello is one, and others have been loosely categorized as “grosso” and “piccolo” — big and little — which refers to grape size, not the weight and body of any wine. Some of the clones make better wines when they are blended with other varieties, Chiantis being a perfect example.\r\n\r\nSangiovese is high in acidity and lighter in body. It also has fewer color compounds in its skins. Modern winemakers use low yielding vines, temperature controlled fermentations, extended maceration times, oak barrel aging, malolactic fermentation in barrels and blending in of other varieties to make better wines. When it comes to oak, Sangiovese is a sponge, able to absorb everything from the oak.\r\n\r\nYoung Sangiovese wines have fresh, fruity flavors of strawberry and a little spiciness. Sangiovese wines are very receptive to barrel aging, picking up oak and vanilla and even tarry flavors, depending on what type of oak, the age of the barrels and how long the wine sits. Traditional Sangiovese shows herbal and bitter cherry notes.  In Tuscany, and with Chiantis particularly, legal “recipes” for wines have been adjusted. With the addition of small amounts of Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), Chiantis and Tuscan red wines have achieved new heights. And great success in world markets.\r\n\r\nSince 1996, Chianti and Chianti Classico have been, legally, 75 to 100 percent Sangiovese, up to 10 percent Canaiolo (a local red variety), and up to 20 percent of any other approved varieties — Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah.\r\n\r\nIn 2006, the use of white varieties like Trebbiano and Malvasia were prohibited in Chianti Classico. Legally, Chianti Classico must have a minimum of 12 percent alcohol and be aged for at least seven months in oak. Chianti Classico Riserva must have a minimum of 12.5 percent alcohol and be aged at the winery for at least 24 months. The vineyard yields are legally lower for Chianti Classico by about 30 percent than plain Chianti. (There are other sub-zones in Chianti, besides Classico, but we see almost exclusively Classicos.)\r\n\r\nMoving on to our winery, Fattorie Melini is a top level Chianti producer established in 1705. It is located in Gaggiano di Poggibonsi (sort of half way between Siena and Florence) and is carved out of a 1,000 foot high slope.\r\n\r\nThe Melini family were wealthy Florentines from the Val de Sieve. Their coat of arms included three stars for the Guelfic alliance (an alliance with Popes) and three pomegranates — symbols for sincerity, magnanimity and accord. Their very first wine was Vermiglio, an ancient red Tuscan wine, that they sold in Italy and other parts of Europe in barrels. Of course, the barrels caused problems because the wines were not well preserved in them and they were heavy and wieldy to ship. After consulting with some of the leading experts in enology, the Melinis became more and more the leaders in innovative winemaking, storing and shipping — the whole thing.\r\n\r\nIn 1830, they also learned to heat their wines to 122 degrees Fahrenheitt — way ahead of their time on this one! (Louis Pasteur “discovered” pasteurization in 1866.)\r\n\r\nIn 1860, Melini started using the flask shaped, glass bottles, invented by Paolo Carrai, to ship their wines. I’m sure we have all had a straw-covered flask of Chianti at some point in our lives. The city of Florence gave the Melini family a gold medal in 1877, “for having established the most extensive and secure trade of Tuscan wines to foreign markets.”\r\n\r\nAnd, over the years Melini continued to maintain their position as a leader in Tuscan wines.\r\n\r\nIn 1900, the last Melini died and the winery passed through various owners and wine companies. They are now owned by Gruppo Italiano Vino, which moved them to their present location in the middle of Chianti Classico vineyards. They currently own about 1,200 acres of Chianti land.\r\n\r\nAnd, still leading the way for others, they made, in 1969 for the first time, <b>Melini La Selvanella Chianti Classico Riserva</b>. At the winery today in Italy, surrounded by Sangiovese vines, way up on a hill, we got to taste the  2010 vintage of the great wine. It is made from 100 percent Sangiovese  (Sangiovese Grosso). It is all estate grown grapes, fermented, followed by a malolactic fermentation and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 and more months.\r\n\r\nObviously, as soon as you taste this wine you know it’s not just another Chianti. “La Selvanella” is one plot of land. That means this is a vineyard designated Chianti Classico — the first ever in all of Tuscany; a very revolutionary idea when Melini made the first one in 1969.  Really, this is one of the very first vineyard designated wines in all of Italy. A Grand Cru, if you like. The Riserva comes from the aging, at the winery, before we get it, but what else would we expect from such great beginnings? Also, La Selvanella is not made every year. Only the good vintages.  Sounds like vintage Champagne, doesn’t it?  While tasting the 2010 La Selvanella, the question came up about how long it would age. From the winemaker’s mouth: “10 to 15 years.” A pleasant surprise, for sure.\r\n\r\nIn South Carolina, the 2007 is the current vintage of La Selvanella. It has less tannic, smoother, more developed flavors (truffle, earth, leather, red fruits and berries). This one was aged 30 months in French oak barrels. And the ‘07 vintage in Tuscany?  One of the best ever.  And tasted beside the 2010, it was hard work. I guess one of us has to do it. The lunch of beef filet with Chianti Classico cream sauce was perfect too.\r\n\r\nFor $27.99 you can sip this great wine. A Grand Cru Chianti with a mere 93 to 95 point rating. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Straight from Italy: Touring and tasting Fattorie Melini', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'straight-from-italy-touring-and-tasting-fattorie-melini', '', '', '2014-08-28 09:27:49', '2014-08-28 13:27:49', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18418', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18434, 4, '2014-08-28 10:09:23', '2014-08-28 14:09:23', 'When teens start driving, the chances are their friends are learning to drive too — so at some point your teen is likely to be a passenger in a car being driven by someone without much experience. Sadly, more than half of teens who die in car crashes are not behind the wheel, and a teen’s chances of getting in a fatal wreck rise sharply if they ride with a teen driver.\r\n\r\nAccording to recent research of teen views on driving, parents play a crucial role in teen driving safety. Teens who say their parents set rules and pay attention to their activities in a helpful, supportive way are half as likely to be in a crash. This same research shows that most teens don’t consider themselves to be inexperienced drivers and don’t view passengers as potentially hazardous. These misperceptions can be deadly.\r\n\r\n<b>Seat Belt Use</b>\r\n\r\n• Teens have the lowest seat belt use rates of any age group, leading to deadly consequences.\r\n\r\n• Only 65 percent of teens consistently wear their seat belts as both a driver and passenger.\r\n\r\n• Six out of 10 drivers ages 16 to 20 who were killed in crashes were unrestrained.\r\n\r\n• Almost two out of three teens killed as occupants of motor vehicles are unrestrained.\r\n\r\nTeen passengers can lower this risk by limiting distractions, respecting the driver, and always wearing a seat belt. Here are six quick tips for teaching your teens to be safety-minded passengers:\r\n\r\n<b>• Talk about how to be a safe passenger. </b>Distracted driving is a major cause of crashes, and passenger distractions are particularly dangerous for new drivers. Discuss helpful passenger behaviors, such as reading directions when asked and respecting the driver by not talking loudly, chatting on a cell phone, playing loud music, or acting wild.\r\n\r\n<b>• Insist on seat belts.</b> Most adolescent passengers who die in wrecks aren’t wearing seat belts. Explain that by buckling up, they’ll help protect their friends’ lives, as well as their own. In a crash, an unrestrained body can hurt others in the car.\r\n\r\n<b>• Don’t let your child ride with a driver who has less than a year of experience. </b>Most teen crashes are the result of “rookie” mistakes. Even the most mature teen needs time to gain driving experience through adult-supervised driving.\r\n\r\n<b>• Pay attention. </b>To help them make good safety decisions, keep the lines of communication open. Know where they are going and why, and discuss how they will get there and when they will be home. Provide alternatives, like rides, to allow them to avoid unsafe driving situations.\r\n\r\n<b>• Create a code word.</b> Help teens get out of unsafe situations by having them call or text you with a previously agreed-upon code word that signals trouble. When you hear or see the word, pick them up right away.\r\n\r\n<b>• Lead by example. </b>Always wear a seat belt. Don’t talk on a cell phone or text while driving. Don’t speed. Follow the rules of the road.\r\n\r\nFor more information about teen driver safety and tools for new drivers, visit http://teendriving.statefarm.com.', 'Teach your teen to be a smart passenger', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'teach-your-teen-to-be-a-smart-passenger', '', '', '2014-08-28 10:09:23', '2014-08-28 14:09:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18434', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The outlook is stable, the rating firm said.\r\n\r\nThe good news for the city government comes even as the community continues to wrestle with economic diversification and redevelopment, attracting shoppers to downtown Beaufort stores, finding the right mix of local retail and destination shops, and balancing city taxes against services and improvements some residents desire.\r\n\r\n“All in all, I think our city government has done a wonderful job of navigating the Great Recession, from a management perspective, and the Standard &amp; Poor’s rating reflects that achievement,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said.\r\n\r\n“At the same time, we are still struggling to fill vacant storefronts, we struggle to attract new residents, we struggle to provide all the services and amenities people say they want. And we must press on with efforts to diversify our economic base by attracting better jobs for those who grow up here and those who choose to move here. From that perspective, Beaufort as a community has a long ways to go, though we are making headway,” he said.\r\n\r\nThe Standard &amp; Poor’s Rating Services report addressed the city of Beaufort government’s finances, not the community at large.\r\n\r\nThe improved rating could bring better interest rates for the city of Beaufort if general obligation bonds are issued or existing debt refinanced with the AA standing, said City Finance Director Kathy Todd. She said there aren’t any immediate plans to issue additional debt though refinancing current debt may be a viable option if it will produce lower interest rates and save the city money in the short- and long term.\r\n\r\n“As the economy quickly turned bad and then worse starting in 2007, (City Manager Scott) Dadson, his staff and City Council made some very strategic decisions that helped stabilize our finances and put us in our favorable position today.

Teaching and learning must occur in both the Cognitive and Affective Domains.\r\n\r\nThe Cognitive Domain can be easily tested. Questions can be asked of students that evaluate recall, comprehension, analysis, and application of facts or concepts. Data can be collected and grades can be issued.\r\n\r\nThe Affective Domain can enhance, inhibit, or even prevent student learning. It includes student motivation, perceptions, attitudes, fears, superstitions, stereotypes and values such as kindness, sharing and personal responsibility. Teaching and learning successes in this domain cannot be easily evaluated.\r\n\r\nIn my early years of teaching, I became frustrated thinking I was spending too much time teaching in the Affective Domain,  guiding students to respect the space, feelings, and needs of others. However, I became less stressed when I realized the Affective Domain is as important as the Cognitive. In some years, my students tested lower in the Cognitive Domain than in other years. However, because I knew I had helped children improve in the Affective Domain, I did not allow myself to feel beaten down. I simply worked with what I had been given.\r\n\r\nData showing student improvements in the Affective Domain is scant.  Teachers spend much of a school day guiding students in making good decisions. These include:\r\n\r\n• Respecting the space of others, standing  or sitting quietly; facing the front;\r\n\r\n• How to care for a cough or sneeze properly, and how to use good table manners and appropriate language;\r\n\r\n• Where to put personal belongings and how to respect what belongs to  others;\r\n\r\n• Why we must tell the truth and respect various opinions, when appropriate;\r\n\r\n• How to use, share, and care for classroom (community) items;\r\n\r\n• What to do if there is a fire, tornado or building lock-down;\r\n\r\n• How to accept a new student and help him learn class routines.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, a teacher spends time communicating with parents and guardians.  This may include a note home, a daily smiley (or sad) face in a journal, a phone call, face to face meetings, a weekly letter stating upcoming events, goals, spelling lists, math skills, naming the “person of the week,” and a six-weeks progress report, followed six weeks or less by a “report card.”\r\n\r\nTeachers frequently attend before and after school teacher meetings, grade level meetings, impromptu meetings with others who interface with students, IEP (Individual Education Plan) meetings and PTO. Teachers prepare required lesson plans that include detailed objectives and how goals will be met. Often, lesson plans must include how a teacher will adjust for the special needs of a delayed or advanced learner, or one for whom English is a second language.\r\n\r\nThe Affective Domain requires a great deal of time but is not easily assessed for a data sheet.  How can you measure the influence a teacher has in helping a student become an honorable citizen?  If teachers’ successes are compared and contrasted, where is the data to determine whether students in one classroom brought more “out of school baggage” with them than students in another class? Where is the data to determine the impact of tardiness and absenteeism? There are many variables.  Each class is different. Each year brings a new set of challenges.\r\n\r\nParents, school board members, administrators, taxpayers, journalists, TV commentators, and legislators, please be attentive. When critics try to evaluate teachers and students solely by testing in the Cognitive Domain, they overlook the complexity of the educational process.\r\n\r\nResponsible community behavior is expected of civilized persons. Results from testing in the Cognitive Domain are important. But remember the impact of the Affective Domain.  When determining success, consider the entire range of a teacher’s assignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Esther Truesdale is a retired educator and writer.

We love the waterways, the food and the greenery.”\r\n\r\nBut the truth is that Beaufort reminds me and my husband of Annapolis, Maryland, our hometown, but the Annapolis of 25 years ago before people discovered the city and before Baltimore and Washington, DC, started to spill their population into our small town. The historic buildings, the old churches and cemeteries and the art are all very familiar to me.\r\n\r\nWe moved here because it is beautiful, the weather is wonderful, the people are friendly and the community has the small town flavor that we love, an atmosphere that we find comfortable.\r\n\r\nAfter only a few months here, I am slowly getting familiar with the town. I have learned that I don’t leave the house without a hat, my suntan lotion, my Skin So Soft or some other bug spray.\r\n\r\nI have learned to use one of those silly window shades for my front window if I am going to be leaving my car out in a parking lot for long. (No, I don’t have the ones with the eyes, but feel free to let me know where I can get one!) I seek shaded spots in the parking lots. I have learned to keep my windows open a few inches to let the heat out of the car while I am in the grocery store.\r\n\r\nI have learned that no matter how much my cocker spaniels whine about going with me for a ride, I cannot take them in the car when the temperature is 90 degrees.\r\n\r\nI have learned not to fake a Southern accent because it just sounds horrible. Speak normal and the Southern accent will slowly slip into your life. I know this because I am originally from Rhode Island and I know how accents can change. You can pick up the local accent fast enough, don’t’ push it.\r\n\r\nI have learned that I have to carry a sweater with me because of the transition from the heat to the air conditioning. There is so much I have learned and so many things that I want explore.\r\n\r\nThe first few months have been wonderful. The people have made all the difference.

Hopefully, more of you heard, “if you want something different to occur in your life, change your state of being.” How you heard this statement will speak volumes about your level of awareness and how you are thinking. So, without judgment, simply “check in” to where your mind took you when you read the headline of the article.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18459\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Martha-Theravista.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18459\" alt=\"Martha O\'Regan\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Martha-Theravista-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Martha O\'Regan[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhile listening to one of my quantum science gurus, I received a major “ah-ha” that I intend to share in a way that creates immense change in many lives immediately, so here goes. Your personality is your personal reality and if you wish to create change, you must create a new personality, otherwise you continue to create your same reality.\r\n\r\nOK, so what does that mean? Our personality is the cumulative repetition of the way we think, act and feel based on our environment, circumstances and conditions in our personal reality.  When we repeat the same thoughts, we make the same choices, generate the same behaviors, have the same experiences, produce the same emotions, which in turn form the same thoughts — and around and around we go for days, weeks, months, years, and decades creating the same personal reality. So we wake up one day and decide we are ready to create change in our life, yet we don’t change our habits then we get frustrated that change isn’t occurring. We humans are so quirky, aren’t we? But, we come by it honestly because we were never taught to do it any differently ... until now.\r\n\r\nSo, without moving to a new state in the Union, we have to create union with a new state of being; one that will create change in our patterns, habits and reactions.\r\n\r\nA state of being is when mind and body are working together to align with a specific destiny. Let’s look at some basic concepts. Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body.  Our thoughts produce an immediate chemical reaction in the brain which then stimulates a feeling in the body which then creates a similar thought producing the same feeling, creating the thought, then the feeling and over time creates memorized behaviors, emotional reactions, habits and our personal state of being.  So, if we are to create any change in our life, we have to create new thoughts in order to create new feelings, etc.  But how?\r\n\r\nThe first step is to shift the paradigm of “cause and effect” into “cause an effect.”  We have been raised in a culture that when good things happen, then we can be happy.  What if we could just be happy and begin to observe what happens in our lives?  Quantum law tells us that our environment is an extension of our mind and that if we want our environment to change, we have to change our minds or our thoughts.  This is contrary to the old way of thinking that we are a victim to what is happening to us externally.  Feels quite different, don’t you think?\r\n\r\nThe brain doesn’t know the difference between what is real or what is imagined, so if you are ready to create change, begin by imagining a new state of being.  If time, money and circumstances were not a factor, what would you love to be, do or have in your life?  Allow yourself to dream big, visualizing with full color and features, until you can feel it in your body and repeat as often as you can.  Creating new thoughts and patterns will create new feelings, producing new thoughts, stimulating new feelings, and so on and so on, until new patterns, attitudes, and behaviors emerge.

This is true if you want to be a bodybuilder, a professional athlete or compete in certain events, but the reality is that you can get a lean, toned and attractive body in less than 90 minutes a week. Yes, you heard that right, only 90 minutes a week.\r\n\r\nMany people find it hard to believe but when we introduce them to people who have achieved dramatic results only doing 70-90 minutes of training a week and have lost 60 to 70 pounds and between 10% and 15% of body fat, their skepticism quickly turns to belief, motivation and excitement about the future of their own health and bodies.\r\n\r\nThe key is knowledge — knowing what exercises to do and how much of them to do. Ostensibly, if you just did a 7-10 minute workout each day, seven days a week, that is approximately 50-70 minutes of training a week, and I am sure you will see great results.\r\n\r\nHere is a quick routine to do at home:\r\n\r\n• Run a set of stairs (30 seconds)\r\n\r\n• Squats (30 seconds)\r\n\r\n• Push ups (30 seconds)\r\n\r\n• Walking lunges (30 seconds)\r\n\r\n• Jumping Jacks (30 seconds)\r\n\r\n• Jog In Place (30 seconds)\r\n\r\nDo three sets for a total of 9 minutes of working. You can do this pretty much anywhere, anytime and it takes less than 1 percent of your day. No excuses!\r\n\r\n<i>Ian Hart is creator of EarthFIT Transformation Systems and co-creator of the Back Pain Relief4Life Formula.

An altered book is an artistic transformation of well-used and weathered old books into something of a piece of art. Pat’s altered books often contain drawers, pockets, pop-ups, hardware and other surprises. It’s no surprise that Pat’s interest in transforming old artifacts led her to her latest project.\r\n\r\nPat’s studio is part of Atelier on Bay, studios and gallery in the renovated upstairs of Beaufort’s historic Lipsitz Department building. During the renovation of the building, old linoleum was ripped from the floors, uncovering local newspapers dating to the 1940’s. Knowing that she could incorporate these artifacts into her work, Pat recovered as much of the linoleum and newspapers as she could. Today, if you visit Studio 8, you can see the results.\r\n\r\nPat calls her latest works “Lipsitz historic journals.” Each journal is covered with patterned papers that are reproductions of the designs of the salvaged linoleum. A whimsical binding holds the blank journal pages on place. But not all pages are blank: Tucked randomly between pages you will find some of those old newspaper pages (copies, of course!) Each book is unique and a part of Beaufort’s colorful history.\r\n\r\nAtelier on Bay is a unique studio and gallery space that offers a variety of original art for purchase, as well as the opportunity to visit with 14 different artists as they create in their studios.\r\n\r\nAtelier is located in the heart of historic downtown Beaufort, 203 West Street, just off Bay Street and upstairs of the old Lipsitz Department store.\r\n<div></div>', 'Artist incorporates Beaufort history in her work', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'artist-incorporates-beaufort-history-in-her-work', '', '', '2014-08-28 11:42:13', '2014-08-28 15:42:13', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18493', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18523, 4, '2014-09-04 08:53:19', '2014-09-04 12:53:19', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nPeople tolerate behavior in their dogs they would <i>never</i> tolerate in fellow human beings. You would never allow your nephew to punch visitors in the crotch to say hello, or slobber on your girlfriend because he’s happy to see her.  Dog owners make excuses like, “oh, he’s just being friendly” when the dog leaps up and rakes his nails across the neighbor’s bare legs or “she must have done something to upset him” after the dog rips a hole in the mail carrier’s sleeve.  My favorite excuse for bad dog manners is “he was abused before we got him.”\r\n\r\nWhen an owner has been unsuccessful in creating clear rules and expectations for his dog and then said dog couples that with her instinctual mantra, “what’s in it for me?”, the end result is some form of chaos. For instance, Merlin, a large exuberant herding cross, does not come when he is called, ever.  Why? Because there’s nothing in it for him. However, he has learned that if he plays chicken in the front yard long enough, his exasperated owner will open the car door, cheer him in and then take him for a ride around the neighborhood.  Score! There’s something in it for him now. Merlin loves car rides. And because Merlin is a clever pet, he added door crashing to the activity. (You know, that unattractive behavior when you crack open the door and the dog muscles you out of the way and speeds out in a blur.) Now he gets his car ride on demand. What a brilliant manipulator!\r\n\r\nJune bites at her owner because it elicits a huge response, guaranteed. Biting usually does. June doesn’t get enough attention in her busy household so she has learned exactly what behavior is going to get her the biggest reward. (Dogs don’t differentiate positive from negative; attention is attention.) In both instances the manipulator is in charge. In both instances there is a lack of leadership.\r\n\r\nA dog’s mental health depends on leadership. People will often mislabel this as dominance, but that is a simplification borne of watching too many dog-training TV shows. When living in social groups, canids will establish leadership hierarchies that dictate access to resources such as food, resting places, favored possessions, territory and mates. The social relationship is naturally extended to the human members of their household. These leadership behaviors often occur without aggression and instead, come to be about control of the outcome. In domestic canid groupings, overt aggression is rare and deference common. Owners often inadvertently reinforce a leadership outcome for the dog by deferring to the dog’s demands. Plus, some owners are pure patsies.\r\n\r\nThis sets the dog up as the one in charge, and each interaction that ends with deference to the dog reinforces that behavior. Each time Merlin hops into the car and happily rides shotgun around the block, his bad manners of not coming when called are reinforced.  The high point of Merlin’s day is the reward of watching his owner shrieking, waving her arms around, chasing him around the yard and then, taking him for a ride.  It sounds like great dog fun.\r\n\r\nOther behavior occurs because it can. In other words, the owners do not prevent the dog from engaging in a certain behavior and that in itself can be reinforcing. For instance, counter-cruisers (usually the tall guys) will occasionally score a huge reward that only encourages them to keep cruising.  How many times have you heard the story of the rump roast taken out to thaw that was sucked down in seconds by the family lab? It happened at my house. Once.\r\n\r\nThe solution to curbing a manipulator’s creativity and enthusiasm is a three-step process. First, your dog gets a new mantra — “nothing in life is free”. The goal is for the dog to “earn” everything he desires by deferring to the owner. Deference is accomplished when the dog follows the request to do, whatever — sit, down, come, get the ball, be a dog and stay on the floor. The catch is that he has to do what you ask when you ask it, not before and not 20 minutes later. It takes a little discipline on our part to remain consistent and not give in to those big, sweet eyes, but the reward is that our pets are not a constant trial.\r\n\r\nThen, he learns that you have opposable thumbs and are in control of his environment. Any attention he receives is at your grace. You give him attention on your initiative; you only give attention and reward his fine behavior when he is calm and quiet and acquiescent. And finally, he learns that you are center of his universe. You call the shots. He learns to focus on you and wait for instruction.\r\n<div></div>', 'Is your dog a manipulator?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'is-your-dog-a-manipulator', '', '', '2014-09-04 08:53:19', '2014-09-04 12:53:19', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18523', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(18525, 4, '2014-09-04 08:54:22', '2014-09-04 12:54:22', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nWell, my world travels are over for the moment. It took a bit of extra time (like nine hours more than the original schedule) and fortitude on the return trip from my visit to Italy, but home was reached. Having done that, it became the choice for this week’s wine to come home to a new American one. So, off to California we travel.\r\n\r\nWe are going to Sonoma County, and to our winery for the first time — Chateau St Jean. First, and there has been some confusion on this over the years, they pronounce it “jean.” It may look like a French chateau, and it may be spelled like the French name for “John,” but “jean” it is.\r\n\r\nFounded in 1973, Chateau St Jean is located at the foot of Sugarloaf Ridge in Sonoma Valley, near the town of Kenwood. The winery is recognized as a leader in vineyard designated wines. And, the winemaker, Margo Van Staaveren, has been with them for 30 years. (The 2011 vintage was her thirty-second at Chateau St Jean.)\r\n\r\nThe winery and the chateau were designed to keep control of their grapes and wines close to home and to enhance, with gardens and terraces, their visitors’ enjoyment of these wines. There is a statue of Jean, their namesake and Saint John to us, in the main courtyard by a decorative fountain. In 1999, Chateau St Jean was the first Sonoma winery to be receive the “Wine of the Year” award, a very prestigious honor from Wine Spectator Magazine. The award was for their 1996 Cinq Cépages, a Bordeaux style red blend.\r\n\r\nAt Chateau St Jean, there really is a chateau. It was built in 1920 as a summer home for Ernest and Maude Goff and their family. This family had made a large, large amount of money in iron mines and lumber in the Pacific-Northwest. The property had 250 acres where they did plant white grapes, only white grapes, which seems contrary to their later praises for the Cinq Cépages.\r\n\r\nWhen Prohibition came, the Goffs changed to growing prunes (yes, I know they start as plums) and walnuts. When the winery, Chateau St Jean, was established in 1973, the chateau was totally restored and opened to the public. It is now listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation.\r\n\r\nAnother part of what we need to learn for our wine this week is about the art of not oaking wines. Most of us, having done all the drinking and studying and tasting that we have done, realize that the use of oak in making a bottle of wine can add flavors and textures and complexities. And some wines just have it done better than others.\r\n\r\nWell, I think we have to accept that unoaked wines can have “unoaking” done better in some wines. Oak or no oak is a style, resulting in different styles of wine. Duh. Neither one better than the other, just different. The most common place we find “unoaked” used is with Chardonnays. Winemakers of Chardonnay all over the world are choosing to not use oak. Chardonnay is actually a fairly neutral grape, hard to believe when it has so many flavors in its wines, but true. In fact, it was this neutral character that made it a good candidate for oak barrel fermenting and/or aging. Unoaked, though, we get a lighter, crisper, fresher style of wine with just as many flavors, although just flavors of the grape itself.\r\n\r\nIt’s interesting to note that some wineries make both oaked and unoaked Chardonnay. Tasting these side by side is a very enlightening wine experience!  When pairing unoaked Chardonnays with food, we find they do well with high salt foods, low sweetness foods, moderate fats and oils. Shellfish and fish are delicious with the lighter, crisper unoaked Chards. Firm cheeses like cheddar and imported swiss do better than creamier cheeses like Brie. Cream sauces do not do well with the acidity of unoaked Chardonnays. Fried foods, crispy,  do better.\r\n\r\nNow, for our wine of the week: Chateau St Jean Bijou Chardonnay. “Bijou” is a French word that Chateau St Jean chose this as the name for its new, mostly unoaked Chardonnay because it means “jewel.”  Not necessarily expensive, but it can be just a pretty, shiny trinket. Like this wine.\r\n\r\nThis wine is made from 100 percent Chardonnay. Whole clusters of grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks to make this wine. A little, little bit of French oak is used in the fermentation to add a little, little bit of creaminess and texture to the final blend. Malolactic fermentation to reduce the acidity and sur lie aging to add richness and depth are both part if making this wine. (See, the art of making unoaked wine!)  The finished wine has tropical aromas of passion fruit and guava, as well as lemons and pears. Flavors of pineapples, peaches, nectarines, citrus and kiwi come with your first sip. Juicy textures fill your mouth. The grapes’ natural acidity shows in the finish and makes this a great food wine.  My first taste of this wine was with crispy, fried shrimp. Yum, yum.\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve learned a bit about unoaked Chardonnay, we almost have one. Only, there’s a woman at Chateau St Jean who decided almost was better. And, when you taste the Chateau St Jean Bijou, you’ll see exactly why. Not really oaked, but kissed with some. Subtle and delicious, loaded with fruit flavors and great textures. Yes, we might say, a real jewel of a Chardonnay.  A real jewel of a wine.\r\n\r\nFor only $8.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island.

Laura’s had one word on it: “Relationships,” which she jokingly took to be a foreboding sign. Then Irene’s fortune was pretty much the best one I’ve ever heard: “As you slide down the banister of life, make sure the splinters don’t point your way.” Words to live by!

The quirky, offbeat comedy has broken box office records at theatres across the country, and is currently one of the most produced plays in America. The play has earned immense critical acclaim for its poignant exploration of loss and loss in a remote town in upstate Maine. The New York Times described the play as “a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism ... This is a beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy) and passing references to characters from other vignettes, which slyly tell us more about them.” The New York Post wrote, “The show offers a sweetness and decency that’s become rare at the theater. At this point, it’s a welcome breath of fresh air.”\r\n\r\nShakespeare’s superb comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will play at the Center for the Arts from March 19-22. The production brings together some of the area’s finest acting talent, along with guest artists from London, Chicago and Nashville. Artistic Director Debra Charlton remarks, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be our most ambitious production to date.  We are thrilled to bring together a world-class acting ensemble to stage one of Shakespeare’s most luminous and joyful comedies.”\r\n\r\nTickets for both productions are now on sale through the Center for the Arts website www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.\r\n\r\nFor further information, contact Debra Charlton at dcharlton@shakespearerep.co.\r\n<div></div>', '\'A Season of Wonder\': Shakespeare Rep announces 2014-15 season', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-season-of-wonder-shakespeare-rep-announces-2014-15-season', '', '', '2014-09-04 09:06:32', '2014-09-04 13:06:32', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18538', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Along with speeding buses, there is an endless parade of FedEx trucks, Walmart trucks and numerous nondescript tractor-trailers. There are the RVs filled with Canadians heading south in the winter, and north again in the spring like migrating birds. There are college students with all their worldly belongings piled up in the back seat as they\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18558\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Lee-Scott-Photo-7.29.2014_bw.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18558\" alt=\"Lee Scott\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Lee-Scott-Photo-7.29.2014_bw-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Lee Scott[/caption]\r\n\r\nrelocate from home to college, and minivans packed with kids as families return from vacation, bicycles hanging off the back of the vehicle.\r\n\r\nIt is also amazing to see all the things that are towed: motorcycles, go-carts, cars, U-hauls and, of course, boats. And although I have experienced the towing of a boat behind our truck locally within a few miles of our house, it was totally another story towing a boat down Interstate 95 from Washington, D.C., to South Carolina.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, anyone familiar with the D.C. region knows of the treacherous road conditions. Large interstates pour into one another — I-495, I-395, I-295 — and the list of “I”s goes on as you travel farther south. The Springfield bowl is an engineer’s dream of pouring mass quantities of humans in speeding vehicles from one end of the region to the next. This particular area is interesting when driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck towing a 22-foot center console boat.  The cars and 18 wheelers merging onto the highways at 65 miles per hour can be a challenge when trailering anything.  One has to hope that the car doing the merging understands that they can’t just pull out behind you immediately.\r\n\r\nThen there is the jersey wall challenge. There are long stretches of construction on I-95 from New England to Florida, and for some reason, along many stretches, these jersey walls have been moved inside of the old white lines. By the looks of the black and white marks on the walls, it appears many vehicles have slid into these concrete barriers. Of course, it is inevitable that when there are jersey walls on both sides of a small bridge, an 18-wheeler truck will choose that moment to pass! It is a challenge not to side swipe the jersey wall or the truck.\r\n\r\nThen there are drivers that don’t understand that you are moving over to the left passing lane because there is a car ahead going 45 miles per hour, or worse, another pickup is towing a boat larger than yours. You have to pass them. Frustrated, oncoming vehicles drive up to the back of the trailered boat, fly into the right lane to pass you on the right and slip between you and the vehicle you are trying to pass.  Of course, three other cars have to pass you on the right as you attempt, with your right hand turn signal on, to get back into your normal lane. But first, you have to make sure you have enough speed to get over before another car going 80 mph attempts to pass you on the right. All the rearview and side mirrors can’t anticipate the idiot riding your tail who decides to pull out.\r\n\r\nGas stations are another interesting challenge. You pull into an end lane to fuel the truck and suddenly 50 other cars seem to need fuel also. (Did I mention that pulling a boat lowers your gas mileage considerably? As you pull out of your lane to attempt to get back to the highway, cars are pulling out in front of you because no one wants to get stuck behind the truck with the boat. Now I can understand this feeling, but having to suddenly stop for a white Cadillac cutting us off, necessitated a long horn blast!\r\n\r\nMy sympathies go out to anyone pulling a boat, or anything else, on the major highways. My suggestion is to leave very early to avoid any traffic congestion, watch out for the nuts on the road and get to your destination safely.\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<b><i>Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.  A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings.

Maybe you only do it once in awhile, when you fall asleep in front of the TV or forget to bring disinfecting solution on an overnight trip. Or maybe it’s more of a regular practice, and you leave them in for days (and nights) at a time.\r\n\r\nEither way, it’s not a good idea.\r\n\r\nWhen you sleep with your contact lenses in, you’re depriving your corneas of oxygen. This is analogous to wearing a plastic bag over your head when you sleep which is not ideal for oxygen exchange. The cornea receives oxygen from the air when you are awake, but when you are asleep, it gets nourishment and lubrication from tears and a gelatinous fluid inside the eye called the aqueous humor. If there’s a contact lens in your eye when you’re sleeping, then the contact lens acts as a barrier between the closed eyelid and the cornea, and it’s fairly tight over the surface of the cornea. When you’re awake, the contact lens is actually supposed to move a bit — about a millimeter of movement with every blink — in order to allow the cornea to get oxygen. But when you’re sleeping with your contacts in, the contact lens is unable to move because your eyes aren’t blinking. The end result is an oxygen-starved cornea, which becomes more susceptible to infection.\r\n\r\nBacteria or parasites can infect any microscopic abrasions of the cornea, which can be caused by contact with the back surface of the contact lenses. These bacterial microorganisms are part of our normal eyelid flora or can be introduced from the contact lenses themselves (a contact lens can have some bacteria on it because it’s not clean or it’s been resting on the eyes for so long), or from water, even when it’s safe for drinking. A parasite found in water called acanthamoeba, for example, can cause serious eye infections. Corneal ulcers, which are localized infections of the cornea, may cause permanent scarring resulting in loss of vision or even blindness.\r\n\r\nIn fact, a 2012 study in the journal <i>Ophthalmology</i> showed that the risk for keratitis — inflammation of the cornea — increased 6.5 times with just occasional overnight lens use among people who used contact lenses intended for removal at the end of the day.\r\n\r\nWhile there are some contact lenses that have been FDA-approved for “extended wear,” meaning you can wear them for multiple days at a time, the FDA still recommends people using these lenses remove them and not wear them overnight at least one time a week. However, it’s simply not a good idea to wear these lenses overnight, if you can help it, because there is still an increased risk for infection.\r\n\r\nMoreover, multiple studies have shown that people who wear extended-wear lenses (soft hydrogel lenses) have a 10 to 15 times higher risk of developing ulcerative keratitis, compared with daily-wear contact lens users. Overnight wear, regardless of contact lens type, increases the likelihood of corneal infection, which may result in permanent vision loss or even blindness and should be avoided.\r\n<div></div>', 'Sleeping in contact lenses is a risky endeavor', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sleeping-in-contact-lenses-is-a-risky-endeavor', '', '', '2014-09-04 09:33:23', '2014-09-04 13:33:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18566', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It has been too long since we have all been together. We have very busy lives, don’t we all? Even though we all live in Beaufort County, only separated by a few miles, we’re just too busy to get together unless there’s a special occasion.\r\n\r\nAs I said goodbye to my Mama, I told her I missed her and I feel like we should spend more time together. She responded by saying, “We’re all so busy.”\r\n\r\nI told her, “I don’t want to be too busy to see my Mom.”\r\n\r\nCoincidently (I love synchronicity), my very wise teacher sent me a CD of one of her talks. She does not call them sermons because her intention is not to preach but to teach. She shared about a woman who had come to her for counsel. This woman had a sad story to tell.\r\n\r\nHer father was a hard man. And growing up they were not very close, but after her mother died she and her father tried to mend their relationship. They lived some distance apart and so did not see each other often. Her father invited her for visits, but her work schedule was too busy and something always came up. One year for Father’s Day she found the perfect card. It expressed exactly the sentiment she wanted to send him. It was full of love and forgiveness. The card sat on her desk addressed and sealed, and day after day she intended to buy stamps. Father’s Day came and went with the card still lying on her desk. She comforted herself with the thought, I’ll send it next year. She did not know that next year would be too late.\r\n\r\nThe days and years are rolling by. We always feel that there will be time to do the things we don’t have time for now. What if we don’t? What if the great teacher Death comes tonight? What would you do if you knew you had one more week? Who would you contact? What would you love to do before you leave this planet?\r\n\r\nThere is only one day: Today! There is only one moment: Now! There are no tomorrows. When you wake up it will be today all over again. If God could give you a watch, it would say NOW.\r\n\r\nThe truth is we are only as busy as we want to be. “No” is a complete sentence. It is one of the most powerful words in the English language. If you will notice, we all get the same 24 hours to work with. Why do some of us have enough time to write letters and read books, or go for a walk? While the rest of us are running around like chickens with our heads cut off? It has nothing to do with working or retired, children or childless. It is all about choices. If we think that we are the only ones who can do things right, or that we have to do it all, then we are going to be very distracted from what is important, not to mention tired.\r\n\r\nAs a hospice volunteer for over 20 years, I have seen firsthand the regrets of unfinished business. It’s heartbreaking.\r\n\r\nToo often have I experienced regret in my life. My excuses will not comfort me the next time I miss an opportunity to tell someone how special they are to me.

When asked how martial arts training benefitted him, Mr. Marcell replied, “Every time I train, I leave class with one more grain of capability. Though maybe not visible on any given day, or week, or month, nevertheless, grain by grain, I improve. That moves me. That inspires me to attend to the details of martial training; to seek those grains.”\r\n\r\nHistory was made when Beaufort native Charlie Spears became the oldest person to test for a black belt in the United Fighting Arts Federation. He was 72 years old the day of the test. He says, “I look forward to maintaining my physical conditioning and enjoying the friendship and camaraderie of my fellow students. Hopefully, for life!”\r\n\r\nThe next day his son, David Spears, earned his second degree black belt. David said, “It’s hard to put into words the feeling I felt testing with my father for our black belts together, I’m very proud of his accomplishments in Chun Kuk Do. I have twin boys that are now taking Chun Kuk Do and are Lil’ Dragons and they enjoy it very much at this time. Now my family has three generations of Chun Kuk Do martial artists. I know this is a family tradition in the making.”\r\n\r\nMaking a black belt, or a higher degree of black belt, is no easy task, no matter what the age. It takes many years of commitment and training to achieve. All three of these gentlemen should be proud of their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nClub Karate is located on Lady’s Island and has been in business for over 26 years.

Friends of Caroline Hospice is dedicated to providing the highest quality end-of-life care that focuses on enhancing the overall comfort for terminally ill patients with a prognosis of six months or less. Vista came very close to needing Friends of Caroline Hospice’s services and wants more people to know the significance and merit of hospice care.\r\n\r\nVista was diagnosed with Stage 4 triple negative breast cancer in August 2013. Triple negative breast cancer occurs in 10% to 20% of breast cancer patients and can be more aggressive and difficult to treat.  Also, the cancer is more likely to spread and recur.\r\n\r\nAfter several rounds of failed chemotherapy treatments last fall, Vista was losing hope. But then, late that winter, she turned a corner. “I truly believe in divine intervention. Something, and I don’t know exactly what, started working. The tumors are gone. I am so grateful,” explains Vista.\r\n\r\nAbout that time, Sharon Dwyer, director at Friends of Caroline Hospice, approached Vista while judging the wings competition at the annual event, Bands, Brews and BBQ. Vista inquired about the annual fashion show that normally is held in the spring. Dwyer explained that the fashion show was going to be held in the fall this year and asked Vista if she would be interested in helping plan the event. Vista agreed to chair the fashion show committee to benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice.\r\n\r\nShe’s the perfect fit for the role. Vista has years of experience planning successful events, owns a popular women’s apparel store in Port Royal called Nuances, and truly appreciates the value of hospice and palliative care.\r\n\r\n“I’m excited to chair this year’s event, Belles, Baubles and Burlap, Fashion for Compassion. I think women in the community are going to be in for a treat,” says Vista.\r\n\r\nThis year, the fashion show will be held at the Dataw Island Clubhouse on Wednesday, September 17 at 11:30 a.m. The show will feature over 30 fashions from 13 area retailers, a live and silent auction and a delicious luncheon catered by Dataw. The emcee again this year is Deanna Bowdish, and Ash Milner will offer DJ services. All proceeds will support bereavement and caregiver support services at Friends of Caroline Hospice.\r\n\r\nVista is still receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments but maintains a positive outlook and is very appreciative of the community that has helped her through this difficult time.\r\n\r\n“The people here are amazing. Everyone has been over-the-top generous with support,” says Vista. “I want this fashion show to be a celebration ... of community, of perseverance ... of life.”\r\n\r\nThe fashion show brings women together from all walks of life, young and old, not only to enjoy today’s trends and fashions, but also to rejoice in fellowship. This year, Vista wants everyone to remember why they’re there.\r\n\r\n“What happened to me could happen to your mother, your daughter, your sister, or your friend. I hope all of the women who attend will pay silent tribute to those who have been diagnosed with and those we have lost to this horrible disease.”\r\n\r\nOf course, Friends of Caroline Hospice, assists patients and families who have been diagnosed with a variety of illnesses and has been providing quality care for the Beaufort and Port Royal communities for over 30 years.\r\n\r\nThe fashion show’s popularity with local women is a testament to Friends of Caroline Hospice’s legacy of trust within the community, and it continues the tradition of bringing ladies together for a classic luncheon.\r\n\r\nTo purchase tickets to the fashion show, please call Friends of Caroline Hospice at 843-525-6257.

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

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

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

An accident, an alligator crossing the road? No, it was a large yellow metal monster with a folding stop sign and flashing lights.  ”No,” my brain screamed, “Not a school bus!  It can’t be. Summer just started.” But there it was emptying out little school children from its large cavity. Children with backpacks and lunchboxes. Where did summer go?\r\n\r\nWhat happened to all the RVs driving down Sea Island Parkway, dragging little smart cars on their way to beach destinations? Where are the trucks with their fifth wheelers coasting down the highway with names like “Our Lady Liberty” or “Dad’s Dog House” or “The Beast”? And what happened to all those minivans with so many bicycles attached to the back that you couldn’t see their license plates? I miss seeing the long line of cars with suitcases and beach chairs stuffed in the car. What happened to all the out-of-state license tags heading to the beach?\r\n\r\nHow does this happen? Every year the summer just flies by and I am once again surprised that it is over. The reason is because I love summer so much. I love the big floppy summer hats, the beach chairs and the beach umbrellas. I love the smell of sun tan lotion and that aloe cream you put on after a sunburn. I love hearing children laugh at the beach when the waves smack into them. I love holding a child’s hand as we look for shells on a deserted beach.\r\n\r\nFor many of us, part of summertime magic is the memories from years past.

(18618, 4, '2014-09-11 13:13:39', '2014-09-11 17:13:39', '<b>By Susan Stone</b>\r\n\r\nThis month I am writing to you from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. I am enjoying a much-needed rest at the end of the mountain summer. Although it’s warm now, the leaves and acorns are already beginning to show signs of autumn. The vegetable garden outside the kitchen window has been harvested, composted and covered with fresh straw in preparation for winter.\r\n\r\nWe are so fortunate in the Lowcountry to be gardening year round! As we select our seeds and prepare for winter crops, I would like to recommend an old book I just took out of the archives recently. It’s called “Behaving As If The God In All Life Mattered,” by Machaelle Small Wright. It is the journey of a novice gardener and her humorous adventures in trial and error. Although you may not consider yourself a novice, there is always more to learn about how we can more effectively work with nature. I have personally adopted many of her suggestions to great effect. Her stories about garden invaders are most entertaining and her solutions really work!\r\n\r\nSometimes we view our gardens as another place of work. The garden depends on us to stay on top of invasive weeds and during times of drought, absolutely depends on us for water. But what we receive back from our gardens, above and beyond the harvest, can keep up us out of the doctor’s office and off the psychiatrist’s couch — literally!\r\n\r\nWith all the hustle and bustle of our very busy lives, the garden affords us a break from “reality.” It allows us to connect with the Earth and be fed energetically by her. Through the soles of our feet (I like to garden barefoot), we can recharge and ground the energy that makes us reach for an aspirin or a sleeping pill. It soothes the spirit and keeps us from strangling those who get on our last nerve.\r\n\r\nThis season, try a little experiment. Set aside a portion of the garden to “ignore.” Water and fertilize as you normally would. Treat this portion of the garden just as you always have. But in the other section of garden, try something new. Say a prayer over your seeds, thanking them for the nutritious food they will become. Or to the winter flowers, ask that they be blessed with abundant beauty. And each day after, when you do your garden chores, sing a song or talk to the plants participating in your experiment and thank them every time you visit the garden. And too, remember to ignore all the plants in the other section. The results will astound you. When you love your garden, it responds.\r\n\r\nYou may feel silly at first, but if you are anywhere close to my age (55) you won’t care who is watching. One of the great benefits of being over 50 is the freedom to be your authentic self. At some point we become unconcerned with the opinions of others and just do what feels right.\r\n\r\nIf you decide to try this experiment, I would love to hear about your results. I promise to keep you anonymous, so the neighbors won’t talk.\r\n\r\n<i>You may send Susan your questions and garden wisdom to theriverangel.ss@gmail.com.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Recipe of the month:</strong>\r\n\r\n<b>The no-see-um’s love fall as much as the rest of us.

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

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

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

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

With ringers from various walks of life from all over the Lowcountry, they all share the love of handbells and communicating that love to others through a wide variety of challenging music. They work together to bring the art of handbell ringing into the public eye as a respected musical medium through concerts and education.\r\n\r\nPalmetto Bronze rehearses weekly at Summerville Baptist Church.

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

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

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