Robot-assisted surgery, like other minimally-invasive or laparoscopic surgeries, utilizes cameras and instruments that are inserted through small incisions in a patient’s body. The advantage is that the surgeon utilizes the hand controls of a state-of-the-art console to control the robotic arms during a procedure. Through the console’s viewfinder, the surgeon sees high definition, 3D images. The quality of the images and the precision of the surgical arms enable the surgeon to provide optimal care to their patients.\r\n\r\nIn addition to gynecologic surgery, Beaufort Memorial’s use of the da Vinci Robot includes urologic surgery and general surgery.

(17945, 4, '2014-07-24 09:47:57', '2014-07-24 13:47:57', '<b>By Martha O’Regan</b>\r\n\r\nDo you ever wish you could have a “do over” of experiences in your past? As it turns out, you can — it is called imagination.  The brain records everything in present time and doesn’t know the difference between what we perceive and what is imagined — they both create neural pathways that affect our health, behaviors, relationships and even our surroundings.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17946\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Martha-Theravista.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17946\" alt=\"Martha O\'Regan\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Martha-Theravista-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Martha O\'Regan[/caption]\r\n\r\nWe can go back to any experience recorded from our past, even decades ago, that at the time we judged as “bad” or “wrong” and imagine or re-create it with a perspective of “good” or a lesson learned and it will actually create a new network in the brain, completely altering our physiology in that milli-blip of time. We don’t change the facts, only the energy in which it is stored. Remember when we used to transfer files on our computer and the little file would dance across the screen?  Well, think about moving the story from one file to the next: from the fear file to the gratitude file just by choosing to. The trick is keeping it in the positive file.  Every time we pull it out and express it from the victim perspective, we dump it right back in affecting our life all over again.\r\n\r\nAt the risk of being repetitive, remember that everything in all of creation is energy including every thought, feeling, word and deed. Simply put, positive energy is expansive and alive with frequency while negative energy is contractive and sluggish in frequency.  Every experience is neutral until you decide which charge to attach to it — positive or negative — and that perception immediately translates into your physical body as either one of survival (contractive) or ease (expansive). As an example, 20 people can witness the same car accident: Five of them put the event in their fear file as it could’ve been them; five will walk away in gratitude that it wasn’t them; five will walk away worried about the victims; and five will just be ticked off that they are late for work. Same experience, different perspectives, with each one being correct for each person.\r\n\r\nEvery experience we have ever had — including everything we have ever seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled — gets filed in our mental hard drive (aka the brain) based on the perspective that we deemed appropriate in the moment, even the ones that belonged to the “big people” who were in our lives during our early years. These files set up a neural pathway or network that is instantly retrieved for future use, whether it be for learning, becoming proficient in a hobby or sport, determining the best course of action in a project, or just basic survival. These pathways also have an energy attached that will emit into our physical body or surroundings. Those experiences that we perceived as negative, with either great intensity or long duration, can set up a message into the body that over time can become a symptom, habit or behavior that we wish we didn’t have. So, an experience that created immense fear for a short time can get us just as stuck in the mental hard drive as long-term worry.  Both can set up a mental loop that can lead to such things as tight muscles, high blood pressure, self-sabotage or procrastination.\r\n\r\nThink about an experience that you wish had never happened and tune into how it feels in the body.  Notice how fast you were able to retrieve that stored memory? Think about the gazillion stored memories that we judged as negative in our lifetime that are controlling our physiology 24/7. Eewwwhhh — not interested in that.\r\n\r\nSo, knowing what we know now about the brain, we can go back to an experience and, without changing the facts, see the lesson or look at it again through the lens of forgiveness, gratitude, love, peace or joy, creating a brand new neural pathway in the brain, allowing for more appropriate physiology. Aahh, that feels better already.\r\n\r\nLive Awake ... Have Fun.\r\n\r\n<i>Martha O’Regan, is Your “B.E.S.T. Life” Coach, supporting you in creating and allowing the B.E.S.T. Life of your Dreams!

He was raised in Texas and had a similar upbringing — middle child of five, paper routes, etc. We would have brainstorming lunches right there in the Silicon Valley, thinking of all kinds of businesses to start. One day he put a <i>Nations Business</i> magazine in front of me with a small article about an Omaha, Nebraska, based franchise called Merry Maids. At the time, Merry Maids was pioneering the professional housecleaning franchise model. We both looked at each other and said why not? Lon and his brother cleaned houses while attending North Texas State, and I had worked at a car wash so we thought that was good cleaning experience. There were no professional companies cleaning houses at that time, so we just thought there was tremendous opportunity for a professional company to service this market.”\r\n\r\nHe left the electronics business in August 1985 to start his first Merry Maids business in Mountain View, California.\r\n\r\n“I always wanted to own and operate a business and this fit the budget I had at the time to start one,” says Bob. “Since then, we have added offices in Gilroy and San Jose in California; Beaufort and Charleston in South Carolina. Most of my day is spent interacting with my incredible management staff and the outstanding housecleaners that work for us.”\r\n\r\nMore than 10 years later, in 1996, Bob met his beautiful wife, Melina, in San Francisco, where they were both living at the time. They fell in love and got married three years later.\r\n\r\nMelina, who is of Philippine heritage, was born in San Francisco and grew up there and in Vancouver, British Columbia, where her father was in real estate. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from San Diego State University.\r\n\r\n“Bob and I have a joke that if you couldn’t make it in other more difficult majors, you ended up a marketing major,” Melina says. “I guess we both weren’t the most academically gifted, but we both worked really hard after college and made up for it by having the help of some amazing mentors.”\r\n\r\nToday, Melina does the bookkeeping for Merry Maids.\r\n\r\n<b>How they found Beaufort</b>\r\n\r\nSays Bob, “Melina and I came to visit two families who had just moved to Beaufort from the Silicon Valley. We immediately fell in love with the place. On the plane ride back to California, Melina looked at me and said, ‘I want to move to Beaufort.  This is the place I want to raise our kids’.  So a year later we moved.”\r\n\r\nAdds Melina, “All of our kids now go to Riverview Charter School which we love!” Wes is 13, Gracie is 11, and the twins — Laila and Lana — are 7.\r\n\r\nSays Bob, “Melina and I are both city folks — so we were concerned about how we would adjust to a small town.  But we immediately fell in love with the lifestyle and especially the people.  In the first year in Beaufort we had more good friends than in the 10 years we spent in California. You can’t beat the sense of community — people are always getting together to have fun and helping each other out.”\r\n\r\nAdds Melina, “Yes the people here make Beaufort a wonderful place to live.  Life is full of amazing opportunities and challenges and it’s good to know we are part of a community of people who have our backs and we have theirs.”\r\n\r\n<b>About Merry Maids</b>\r\n\r\nBob says, “My goal in starting our Merry Maid businesses is to hire great people and take care of them. The twin brothers from Minnesota who started Merry Maids told me that this is a people business and if you take care of your employees and customers, they will take care of you. This philosophy has not changed since 1985. My parents always impressed us with politeness, good manners and giving back to the community. I have always worked to ingrain this in all of the Merry Maids companies.”\r\n\r\nHe adds, “We have been so blessed by the support of our business from the Beaufort community.  We started in June of 2008 at the start of one of the worst recessions in U.S. history.  But we were able to grow at such a rate that in 2009 we were awarded the Dallen Peterson Award of Excellence, which is given each year in honor of the founder to the top-performing franchise of that year.  The military has been a big supporter of our business in both customers and employees. Over half of our cleaning staff are military wives.”\r\n\r\nMelina says, “I would like to thank our staff. Even though I’m not involved in the day to day operations, I thank God every single day for our employees.  They are all special in their own way and they make Merry Maids a great company. Employees have come and gone but all have contributed to helping Bob and I become better owners. That is our intention, anyway, to always learn and grow and become better because of our opportunities and most of all our challenges.”\r\n\r\nShe adds, “Bob jokes all the time that Merry Maids saves lots of marriages. I joke that men should know that the best foreplay is chores. But if you don’t want to do chores, you should hire Merry Maids for your wife and you’ll be glad you did.”\r\n\r\nTrue to their word, Merry Maids and its employees have given back to the community. Says Melina, “The Beaufort community is blessed with so many great local charities that we have worked with. We have been able to support these with our employees volunteering and/or gift certificates to support fundraising programs.” Some of the worthy causes and nonprofits they have supported include the Coastal Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Military Appreciation Day, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Riverview Charter School Beaufort Twilight Run, Beaufort Water Festival, Cleaning for a Reason, Historic Beaufort Foundation, TCL, Family Promise, Beaufort County Disabilities and Special Needs Department, CAPA, LowCountry Food Bank, Toys for Tots, Wyldelife and Young Life.\r\n\r\n<b>As for the future</b>\r\n\r\nBob says, “We plan to continue living and operating all of our businesses from Beaufort. We are very blessed to have a partner in California who runs our operations there.”\r\n\r\nBob gets out there three or four times a year, and is fortunate to have a younger brother and his wife who live not far from one of the offices.\r\n\r\nMelina says, “I am a super geeky health nerd. I give away health books, and sometimes people run the other way when they see I’m coming.  If you get me started, I will talk your ear off, so beware! In the future, I want to help people be healthier and happier. I’m not sure what this looks like yet, but for now I’m happy that Merry Maids helps people save time and have less stress in their lives. I think reducing stress is way more important than eating perfectly or exercising all the time, so I’m happy Merry Maids is helping people that way.”\r\n\r\n<b>Call Beaufort Merry Maids now at 843-420-2104.

Photo by Brycen Ambrose.[/caption]\r\n\r\nPro-Slab’s Trey Ambrose; T&amp;D Commercial Builders, with Scott Dennis and David Tilton; and Grayco’s Richard Gray, Sr., all stepped up to make the renovation possible.  Their donation of time, labor and materials helped save more than $15,000 on the project, said AMIkids Board of Trustees Chairman Jimmy Boozer.\r\n\r\nThe laundry renovation was a top priority for the residential treatment and education center’s board, said Boozer.\r\n\r\n“This has been something we have needed for a long time, but until these people stepped up to help, it was going to stay on our wish list,” Boozer said. “Now, the young men at our campus have a clean and safe place to do their laundry.”\r\n\r\n“It’s something we might take for granted, but these young men are up working from sunrise to past sunset, often in the heat, and they go through a lot of laundry!” Boozer added.\r\n\r\nAMIkids Beaufort’s campus in Dale provides not only education but numerous hands-on educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification for young men convicted of non-violent offenses in South Carolina.\r\n\r\nAMIkids also partners with eight community service projects throughout Beaufort County.  Students at the facility work toward their high school equivalency diplomas and also can earn job training certificates in welding. The nationally based organization’s motto is “Separating a troubled past from a bright future.”\r\n\r\nAdditionally, a generous donor from Brays Island contributed money for the trustees to buy commercial grade washers and dryers for the renovated laundry room. The new equipment will last longer, wash and dry more clothes, and be more efficient to operate than the previous residential-grade washers and dryers.\r\n\r\n“We stay connected to the community,” Scott Dennis said. “AMIkids Beaufort does an exceptional job helping young men turn around their lives, and we are happy to have helped with this project.”\r\n\r\nAmbrose agreed: “The Lowcountry is different than other places, around here people help people. When I found out AMIkids Beaufort needed help with concrete for the renovation, you didn’t have to ask twice. Pro-Slab was glad to help.”\r\n\r\nAMIkids Beaufort serves young men from across the lower portion of South Carolina, including youth from Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley counties. The S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice offers the AMIkids option to certain offenders as an alternative to prison.\r\n\r\nFor more information about AMIkids Beaufort, visit www.amikidsbeaufort.org.\r\n<div></div>', 'Donors help AMIkids Beaufort renovate', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'donors-help-amikids-beaufort-renovate', '', '', '2014-07-24 14:35:45', '2014-07-24 18:35:45', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17972', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The nonprofit ABLE Foundation supports services and programs assisting individuals with special needs. ABLE’s efforts in the recent past and this year have been to fund a summer camp, called Camp Treasure Chest, for children with special needs.  Children with needs such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome, genetic disorders and autism may require additional and special services and trained staff and accommodations, not usually available at regular summer camps.  In the absence of the Camp Treasure Chest, these special needs children would likely not have a summer camp experience.  Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated and the camp is almost solely supported thru fund raising and grants. ABLE has supported an expansion of the camp this year, so that more children will be served. One camp will be located in Bluffton in addition to Beaufort.

Slip off your flip-flops and walk to the store. Chances are you won’t get too far before you slip your sandals right back on, or dance quickly over to a grassy area.\r\n\r\nBecause asphalt is black it absorbs rather than reflects the heat from the sun. In fact, a study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine noted that 35 seconds of exposure, from 10 am to 5 pm, to hot asphalt pavement could result in second-degree burns to the exposed area. That shouldn’t be surprising, given that on sunny summer days, the temperature of pavement can easily reach 300 degrees.  For a dog forced to barefoot it over such a surface, the result can be painfully burned paw pads.\r\n\r\nOr, take off your shoes and hop up into the back of your pick-up in the middle of the day. Chances are you won’t spend too much time up there, either. We prudently do not allow our toddlers to play on the metal slide at midday for fear of searing their little fannies, but we load our dogs into the bed of a pick-up to go for a ride. Can you even imagine how painful it is to stand on what is essentially a hot frying pan?\r\n\r\nNotice, next time you attend one of the local festivals, how uncomfortable the attending dogs are as they wait patiently beside their humans. These dogs, while you may think are having a great time on an outing, are standing barefoot on hot pavement, sometimes for long periods of time. While a dog’s paws are the toughest part of his skin, they still need protection from heat, just like yours do.\r\n\r\nA day at the beach is not much fun for your dog, either, especially if he is not inclined to get wet. Hot sand can scald paws. Even heading down the metal boat ramp for a family day at sea can fry Fido’s feet in minutes.\r\n\r\nUnlike obvious wounds such as lacerations, foot infections (fungal, bacterial or foreign bodies—like stickers and thorns), burned pads may not be readily apparent to the eye.  That’s why pup parents need to be on the lookout for blisters or redness on the pads. Also, suspect a burn if you notice missing parts of the pads or they seem dark in color. Your dog may try to compensate for the pain of a paw pad burn by limping, refusing to walk, or licking and chewing at his bottoms of his feet.\r\n\r\nIf you suspect your dog has a pad burn it is important to keep the area cool and clean. As soon as you notice the problem (limping along on the road, lifting paws in rotation, excessive licking), flush with cool water or a cool compress if available. Sacrifice your cup of beer at the festival, if necessary. Get your dog to a grassy area or if possible, carry him.\r\n\r\nAt first chance, examine your dog for signs of deeper burns, blisters and possibility of infection. Washing the feet with a gentle cleanser and keeping them clean is important. Bandaging can be difficult to do and to maintain (monitor and change often), but licking must be kept to a minimum, easier said than done. Some dogs will tolerate a sock for a few minutes but most dogs I know would rather chew off the sock and eat it. Lick deterrents (bitter sprays) may help reduce the damage caused by licking but many of my dog friends view the spray as a condiment.\r\n\r\nBest advice is to be mindful of hot surfaces -- asphalt and metal (i.e. boat dock, car or truck surfaces). Put yourself in his place just for a few minutes; how would your bare feet feel? Walk your dog on the cool, shady side of the street or in the grass. Schedule exercise for early or late in the day or after a good rain. And while it may look silly and your human friends may razz you, lay down a wet towel for your Best Friend to stand on when grassy areas are not available.

As we do our lessons and tastings every week, I have to assume some of us care more about all the different tidbits of knowledge that we have in front of us, or not, and some of us may remember more than others. (Just like some of us like some of our new wines better; others like different wines better. That’s life.) All not because we care more, or less, not because we’re more or less smart than each other, but because all these little tidbits click differently for each of us. Hopefully, we all like to know these bits of information are out there. Even though they may not matter on a daily basis for any of us, it’s a nice security blanket knowing they’re there. Sort of like having a new glass of wine to try every week is a nice security blanket.\r\n\r\nOur learning goes on. And our sipping goes on. And we stay comfy and cozy with our preferred wines, our tidbits of knowledge and our security blankets.\r\n\r\nOur lesson this week is slightly different than usual. When I picked this week’s wine, it was clear immediately that we would need to explore a subject that never really applied before.  On occasion, we have scratched at the surface of some of it, but, if our wine knowledge is going to keep growing, it’s time for us to look at hybrids. (And, no, I don’t mean cars.) Hybrid grapes are the results of cross-pollination. The crossing of two varieties to make another, new grape variety. Historically, this crossing was usually done on purpose. Sometimes, it could an accident though. During the late nineteenth century, when European “vitis vinifera” vines were failing under attack by phylloxera in all their vineyards, survival of the wine industry required finding a way to grow their grapes on rootstocks from American varieties. (American roots were resistant to phylloxera, so their grapes had to be attached to our roots.) Even before the phylloxera situation, though, growers were able to cross-pollinate different grapes to make new ones better suited to their growing conditions.\r\n\r\nYou might remember that Cabernet Sauvignon was made by crossing Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. This was a planned crossing, made from two European “vinifera” grapes and the offspring is also a “vinifera.”  Besides “vitis vinifera,”’there are also “vitis aestivalis” from North America, “rupestris” also from North America, “riparia” that is native to northeastern America, “amurensis,” an Asian species from Siberia and China, “rotundifolia,” the Muscadines that are native to to the southern half of the United States, and “labrusca” grapes that are native to northeastern North America. “Labrusca” includes Concord and Niagara grapes - both hybrids, or cross-pollinated formed varieties, with high “Labrusca” content.\r\n\r\nAs you can see there are many lines in the large “vitis” family. “Vitis” being just a vine. Alexander is the earliest, named hybrid grape in America. It was discovered around 1740 near a vineyard that had been planted for William Penn. Technically, in the wine business, a distinction is made between hybrids and cross-pollinated grapes. Hybrids come from crossing two different species. “Vinifera” mixed with “Labrusca.”  Crossed grapes come from mixing two grapes from the same “vitis.” Cabernet Sauvignon. Experts in the wine industry do admit the distinction is made more from snobbishness than any real science.\r\n\r\nBesides, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage is another cross-pollinated variety. It was developed in South Africa from Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Hybrids you may have heard of or even tasted include Chambercin, Seyval Blanc, Traminette and more. The benefits of any of these new grapes are they let their growers manage their vineyards better - earlier or later ripening grapes, more or fewer tannins and acidities, different (meaning hopefully better) types of flavors that develop in the wines, easier growing grapes for certain soil or climate types. All geared for better wines.\r\n\r\nThe drawbacks of new varieties are the same list. A new grape may be developed to enhance or diminish characteristics from the two original varieties. But, sometimes, the results do the opposite of what the goal was. Trying for more acidity could lead to no acidity at all. Getting rid of undesirable flavors could end up as the worst flavors ever. You get the idea. Obviously, there have been many unsuccessful new varieties that we won’t ever hear about. Really?  Would you let it be known how badly you did?\r\n\r\nFor our wine this week, we have a new grape for sure. Bukettraube. Pronounced “bu-ket-trau-be.”  This is a white variety of German origin.  It is a cross between Silvaner and Schiava Grossa - supposedly created in the nineteenth century, in Randersacker, Germany, by Sebastian Englerth. It is a “vinifera” grape. These grapes are bronzish or yellow-green in color. Their wines are usually said to smell a lot like Muscat and its flavors include peaches, apricots, and pears. When its wines are treated with some oak, they develop a spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg, white pepper) and buttery notes.\r\n\r\nToday, the Bukettraube is only grown in a few locations in the whole world. There are a small amounts of vines in Germany, the Alsace region of France, Spain and Zimbabwe. The biggest number grows in South Africa. And, just so there is enough confusion, Bukketraube has several synonyms - Bocksbeutel, Bouquet Blanc, Bouquet Traube, Bouquettraube, Boxer Buket, Bukettrebe, Bukettriesling, Sylvaner Musqué and Würzburger. Nice!\r\n\r\nCederberg, our South African winery, is located in the mountains of the same name. The Nieuwoudt family bought the land in 1835. Grapes, table grapes, were first planted in 1963, by the third generation of the family. The first wine was made in 1978. Since then, Cederberg Wines has played an integral part in the development of this region.\r\n\r\nAt the winery, they have just over one hundred ninety acres planted with Bukettraube. This may well be our only chance to taste this variety.  But, lucky us, Cederberg’s is spectacular. The vines for this wine are eighteen years old, with all the developed flavors and textures that come from slightly older vines. The grapes are harvested in the cool mornings, then cold fermented to augment the flavors.  This wine has an explosion of flavors - the Muscat for sure, along with apricot and floral notes. The wine is a delicate balance of slight sweetness and acidity. Which means for us that we have just found a perfect wine. The combination of a bit of sweetness and crisp acidity make it just right for spicy foods, Asian flavors, and our summer weather.\r\n\r\nI am sitting here with homemade jalapeño fondue. My own home-grown jalapeños. Truth be told, I don’t really taste the slight sweet side of Cederberg Bukettraube. But I know it’s there because the jalapeños’ heat is tamed down a bit.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I don’t have to keep eating, because the wine’s acidity is crisp, inviting and worth savoring. Boy, talk about a great security blanket, this is it. Hope you like your blanket as much! For $11.99.

Thirty-four teams played in the sold-out event at Callawassie Island.  The first-place team was composed of Patrick Mitchell, John Rhodes, Bill Evans and Eddie Shannon.  The second-place team was Chad Mayles, Chris Wagner, Ted Wagner and Joe Waters.\r\n\r\nRevenues from the golf tournament will accumulate in an endowment fund, but 2014 high school graduates can use the scholarship immediately thanks to a special donation from the nonprofit organization Know2.\r\n\r\nKnow2 announced today that it was adding an additional $26,000 to its initial donation of $35,000 for a total gift\r\nof $61,000.\r\n\r\n“Our students are the real winners today,” said Evans, who is the chairman of the Beaufort County Board of Education.  “We’re already planning the 2015 tournament, and we hope everyone marks their calendars.”\r\n\r\nMoss said the district will work with guidance counselors and educators to spread the word about the new scholarship and its GPA requirement. Interested students from the class of 2014 should apply to TCL, fill out the FAFSA form and apply for the B3 scholarship.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the scholarship, visit www.tcl.edu/b3.

Though this was not my first facial it was amongst the first in quite a while. Living here in the South amidst dry lips and skin chapping winters and sticky, humid summers can add a bevy of outbreaks, irregularities and pore clogging factors to our delicate layers of skin. Throw in the gleaming rays of the Sun and the light to not so light and visible mists of pollen and voila you have now achieved complete and total skin disaster. All of which, without proper cleansing, moisturizing and care could lead to even more unwanted effects such as acne, wrinkling and premature aging.  Our skin is the body’s first layer of defense and with a few small tips and changes you can begin and continue to be well on your way to fresh, soft, supple and healthy glowing skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 1: Determine your skin type.</strong>  Ask any Esthetician and they will tell you that the foundation to any good skin care regimen is knowing your skin type. Its your starting place and ultimate road map to reaching your skin’s proper and healthy destination. There are 5 skin types: Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination and Sensitive. Consulting with a licensed skin care professional can help you pinpoint your skin type and select what products work best for you.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 2: Cleanse.</strong>  Start with a fresh palette, free and clear of any makeup, residue, oils or chemicals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 3: Exfoliate .</strong> Meaning to gently rub or slough (scrub) away layers of dirt, build up and unhealthy, dead skin. Exfoliating the can leave the skin looking healthy and vibrant as well as give it a soft and supple feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 4: Moisturize. </strong> No matter the skin type, added moisture to the skin is a must. Our bodies are composed of over 50 to 65 percent water and a vital source of element and nutrient to all else. Selecting a good moisturizing agent helps to add and lock in that water thus deterring the effects of dryness leading to chaffing, fine lines and wrinkles.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step 5: Protect.</strong>  In addition to eradicating excess penetration from the rays of the suns UV effects, a daily SPF (Sun Protection Factor) will block and guard our skin from the damage of sunburn, skin cancer and aging.\r\n\r\nFor more information regarding skin care and consultation visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques.com or contact me at (843) 263-0426.  Mention this article and receive a 60 minute Cleansing Basic Facial for just $37.50 through August 9!\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith is mother, licensed cosmetologist, and local business owner.

Simmons, of All Children’s Pediatrics in Port Royal, will team up with physicians from Beaufort Pediatrics and Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services (BJHCHS) to initiate the Healthy\r\nSteps program.\r\n\r\n“Home visitation is proven to be a very effective tool in assessing psychosocial issues that can hinder the optimal growth and development of children,” said Simmons, a physician in Beaufort for 15 years. “Sometimes parents will talk more openly about their problems in a home setting than at the doctor’s office.”\r\n\r\nIssues affecting children could include substance abuse by a parent, domestic violence and maternal depression. The evaluation also will target obesity. South Carolina ranks second in the country for obesity in children ages 10 to 17.\r\n\r\nThe 14 pediatricians in the three practices will be trained to spot potential issues during well-child check-ups with their young patients. Parents of children referred to the voluntary program will meet with a developmental specialist in the doctor’s office for an initial screening. The specialist will then follow up with a home visit.\r\n\r\n“Far too many children have emotional, physical or psychological issues that can be traced back to their youth,” said Dr. Kurt Ellenberger, of Beaufort Pediatrics. “Parents want to do the right thing, but they may have difficulty coping with their problems. They’re unaware of the resources in the community that can help them.” During home visits, the Healthy Steps specialists will look for possible adult risk factors that affect child behavior and development. Once the issues have been identified, the specialist will consult with the\r\nreferring pediatrician.\r\n\r\n“They’re helping us get an eye inside the home so we can determine what needs to be done to affect a change,” Simmons said. “If they see kitchen cabinets full of cookies and chips, we may refer the parent to a nutritionist at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center or one of the resources at the Medical University of South Carolina.”\r\n\r\nObesity among young children, even infants, is of particular concern in the Lowcountry. In his practice, Simmons said, he is seeing an increasing number of children developing Type 2 diabetes, once called adult-onset diabetes. Being overweight is one of the primary risk factors for the disease.\r\n\r\n“The earlier we can catch problems,” Simmons said, “the easier it is to modify bad habits.”\r\n\r\nAlong with the developmental screenings and home visitations, Healthy Steps also offers:\r\n\r\n•  Well-child visits with a clinician and Healthy Steps specialist\r\n\r\n•  Child development and family health check-ups\r\n\r\n•  Written materials on topics such as toilet training, discipline and nutrition\r\n\r\n•  Referrals for services, including speech or hearing specialists for children and depression counseling for mothers.\r\n\r\nThe $273,000 grant provides funding to serve 175 families in Beaufort and Jasper counties. Simmons said he can apply for more money if he determines there is a greater need. Recently, the core team spearheading the Beaufort Healthy Steps initiative met in Greenville to receive training on the program. Over the next several weeks, they will provide instruction to the participating pediatricians on the referral process.\r\n\r\n“Families face so many challenges,” said Dr. Faith Polkey, BJHCHS pediatric service chief. “This program provides them with that little extra support they need.”', 'BMH pediatrician receives Healthy Steps grant', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bmh-pediatrician-receives-healthy-steps-grant', '', '', '2014-07-30 23:24:05', '2014-07-31 03:24:05', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18043', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Many times people need accountability, motivation and a support systems to get them out of the unhealthy pattern so that caused the weight gain.\r\n\r\nWith that being said, this tip I am about to give you should be one of the easier things to take action on, because it requires very little willpower and takes verylittle effort.\r\n\r\nOk, now that we got that out of the way. The simplest and easiest way to lose 5lbs is to go to bed early. Go to bed at a time when you can ensure that you get a good eight hours or so of sleep for 1 week straight and I can assure you that you will lose weight. But… that’s not all. I want you to shut down your wifi and shut off all your electronic gear and move it far away from where you sleep (at least 10 feet). It is also good to even shut down all your circuit breakers in the house. This will allow you to get a deep rest.\r\n\r\nAll the extra wifi and electrical activity doesn’t allow your body to get a good night’s sleep.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves; who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented or fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandela\r\n\r\nThat’s not the memo I got when I was a kid! Talking like that would have gotten me in big trouble and would have been answered back with; Who do you think you are young lady? You’re getting a little too big for your britches… or by name calling; Showoff!\r\n\r\nMany of us were programed to play small…to stay in our ‘place’…even amongst our peers.\r\n\r\nA few years ago a friend sent me a video that had gone viral overnight. It was of a woman who appeared on Brittan Loves Talent (the British version of American Idol), her name is Susan Boyle. If you were living under a rock in 2009, let me paint the picture for you.\r\n\r\nAs with American Idol, the contestants must initially perform a song acapella. On to the stage walked an older woman (not at all the average age of most contestants), wearing a frumpy dress, therapeutic shoes, curly grey hair and sporting a uni-brow. If her appearance wasn’t enough, she also has Asperger’s (a type of Autism). Well, the judges just looked at each other like; is this some kind of joke? Simon Cowell made a ‘face’ and a snarky comment while the audience was snickering. Somehow this woman had the courage to open her mouth and when she did…every jaw in the room hit the floor!\r\n\r\nShe sang, ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ from Les Miserables, flawlessly. The audience erupted! The look on Simon Cowell’s face was priceless. Overnight she became a sensation and still today is performing worldwide.\r\n\r\nThis woman’s courage impressed me so much that I consider her one of my hero’s. She knew that she didn’t look the part. She could clearly see her reflection did not match the twenty-something’s image of an ‘Idol’, but she went for it anyway. She stood in front of a huge audience with television camera’s all around, knowing that millions would be watching…and she shined her light a bright as she could. What would happen if you were the biggest YOU you could be for just one day? What would happen if you decided to ‘go for it’? What if you shined your light as bright as you could? You will never know unless you try.\r\n\r\nYou came in to this world with something special…something so unique that nobody else has ‘it’. There is a burning desire inside of each one of us to show this special ‘light’ to the world, but the old tapes play in our head and we remain silent.\r\n\r\nAfter I saw the video of Susan Boyle, I felt personally challenged. I had been writing a book, but wasn’t sure I should publish it. I didn’t feel like I had the credentials to write such a book. The old tapes in my head began to play; it’s too controversial! What would people say? What would they think? I watched the video again and felt the invitation…this time I took her up on it and ‘We Heard You’ was published in 2012.\r\n\r\nSo, what are you hiding deep inside of you that is just busting to come out?

Because of the exhaustive negotiations area utility companies, the original bids solicited in January aren’t valid and the County decided to seek new bids.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the constructability review, county staff is meeting with the utility companies every week to carefully review the utility duct bank plans and to identify areas of concern from their perspective. With the evaluation completed and the utility company concerns identified, the construction documents will be amended to incorporate the necessary changes prior to the October re-bidding.\r\n\r\nUntil the contracts are awarded and details worked out with the contractors, timelines and schedules for construction must be considered very tentative, Dadson said. “When we are dealing with a project this size, with its daily impact on thousands of drivers and its long-term impact on the city and all of northern Beaufort County, we are going to take the extra time to plan it as carefully as possible.”\r\n\r\nThe Boundary Street redevelopment project budget is funded through three sources; a Federal Highway Administration grant of $12.635 million; the Beaufort County one cent sales tax of $7.819 million; and the City of Beaufort’s TIF II estimated contribution of about $6.443 million.\r\n\r\nThe utility coordination has been one of the more challenging aspects of the project, noted Rob McFee, director of engineering and infrastructure for Beaufort County. A central component of the Boundary Street project in the federal grant application was moving underground the overhead utilities.\r\n\r\nAfter a year of discussion and negotiations, this summer SCE&amp;G, Hargray and CenturyLink reached agreements with the City to relocate their overhead lines along Boundary Street.\r\n\r\n“Getting those agreements in place took longer than we expected, but moving the overhead utility lines to underground conduit will make Boundary Street safer and will certainly make it a more attractive gateway to Beaufort and the National Historic Landmark District,” Dadson said.', 'Boundary Street construction to be re-bid by county, new start date', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'boundary-street-construction-to-be-re-bid-by-county-new-start-date', '', '', '2014-07-30 23:43:30', '2014-07-31 03:43:30', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18063', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Dave’s previous life was on a chain outside a mobile home in Mt. Gilead, Ohio.   While a very nice dog from the outset, he had no experience with things of the human world, what was off limits and what was not.  My glasses were his target.\r\n\r\nOn the third return trip to the optician with crunched frames, the technician asked if I knew why Dave was eating my glasses.  Um, sport? No… love.   Apparently, opticians see this all the time:  dog adores his person so much he wants to ingest the face oil smelling frames, the lenses just a bonus crunch.  It’s a compliment, a very expensive compliment. The solution?  Keep the glasses where the dog can’t reach.  I felt just a little stupid at the obvious.\r\n\r\nDogs seem to have the same fascination with hearing aids though I can only imagine, to a dog’s nose, the light coating of ear wax is even more enticing than temple sweat.  But it’s hard to appreciate a dog’s adoration when you have to replace that really, really expensive device.  Another reason for that kind of destruction, according to a local audiologist, is that hearing aids, even when turned off, emit a high-pitched whine, the classic “sound only a dog can hear”.  In that case, I can imagine a dog might smash a hearing aid simply to kill the offending noise or, alternately, make a new friend.\r\n\r\nAn additional concern beyond the cost and annoyance of replacement is the possibility of a vet bill if your Best Friend ate the battery.  While tiny, those batteries can be dangerous if punctured or crushed by little needle teeth and then swallowed.  (Those tiny batteries are also in singing greeting cards, talking books, flash light pens, key chains, novelty jewelry, digital thermometers, watches and cameras, to name a few.)\r\n\r\nIf you think your pet could have swallowed the battery a trip to the vet for an x-ray might be in order. It’s possible it could have gotten stuck on something on the way through. Certainly, if you see redness or ulcers in dog’s mouth (lips, tongue), discolored teeth (black or grey), frequent swallowing, drooling or painful or distended abdomen, it’s time to see Dr. WhiteCoat.\r\n\r\nFrom a first aid angle, this is a situation where vomiting should not be induced. This could make any corrosive injury worse.  Activated charcoal should not be used, either. It will not bind the toxic components, and may increase the chances of vomiting.\r\n\r\nWhen a battery is swallowed and is in contact with digestive juices, it generates a small electric current, which burns the tissue next to it.    (An experiment showed that a button battery could burn straight through deli meat after only 2 hours.)  If the battery is intact you might be advised to feed the dog something bulky—white bread, for instance—to cover and push the battery through to the end. Of course, you’ll have to examine the results to make sure the battery made it all the way out.   If the battery is damaged or stuck in a loop of tubing, surgery or removal via endoscope might be in order.\r\n\r\nAs I learned, the hard and expensive way, to put my glasses beyond Dave’s reach, when you take your hearing aids off, put them high up and in a safe place—a designated box with a grinning dog on it would be a good reminder. Most hearing aids come with comprehensive warranties that cover everything, even damage by pets and loss, so your audiologist probably will just smile and get you a new one.', 'What’s that you say?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'whats-that-you-say', '', '', '2014-08-08 09:46:11', '2014-08-08 13:46:11', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18105', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Not real wine-sounding is it?  But, over the years, you must have noticed that different generations have all had their own slang expressions. The slang for teenagers in the 1950’s was not the same as the slang for the decade after it..or two or three decades after. Whatever age you are when you start picking up and using slang expressions, it’s the slang of your generation that you always remember. Expressions that range from ‘Cool’  to ‘What up?’  Whatever the expressions were for your age group, they make sense to you, partly because you had all the peripheral information and stimuli from which they came and partly because you used them as an everyday expression.  No matter how many years (decades) pass between the birth of your slang expressions and now, your slang is still current for you.\r\n\r\nSometimes, if you’re lucky and in touch, you get to pick up on a newer slang expression from a newer generation. That happened for me a year or so ago, and I was so excited to learn it. It was really cool.\r\n\r\nBut, more about my new slang in a moment. Let’s look at some wine information, quickly, before we all forget about the purpose of this column.  Our wine this week is a red blend from California. Officially, it is called a “field blend.”  A field blend is an older practice that occurred naturally because of a lack of scientific data, meaning before DNA. Grapes would be planted in a given vineyard. These vines would come from wherever, but usually close-by vineyards. Without DNA, which gives us precise varietal identifications, some varieties have similar looking grape bunches, vines and leaves; and, many were mistaken for other than what they were, so more than one variety would be growing in one vineyard.\r\n\r\nIn smaller vineyards, and before mechanized harvesters, all the grapes would be harvested together. Because they really didn’t know and because it was easier and cheaper to not do it another way, all the different grapes would be fermented together.  Making field blend wines was easy and often made better wines than any of the individual grapes would have. Nature did the blending for the winemakers. But, nature did not let any personal style come into play, like more of one grape and none of another.  An example of an old field blend is Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They are still allowed to use up to fourteen varieties to make this wine, which are mostly reds but also a few whites. These were all the grapes that grew in their town, and the blend was easy… it grew that way. And, it was delicious and pretty pricey.\r\n\r\nWith modern technology, winemaking blends are purposefully much easier and generally considered better than an old fashioned field blend. A winemaker’s blend is his style and price of wine. He can make it as unique or as similar to another wine as he wants.  One winemaker or winery can make a whole selection of different blends. However, each variety is fermented separately and subsequently blended. There is total control over the finished wine. And the blend may change from year to year just to keep the wine tasting the same.\r\n\r\nRemember the ‘house cuvée’ in Champagne?   In California, Ridge Vineyards owns a vineyard named Lytton Springs. In was planted between 1900 and 1905, with about seventy percent Zinfandel, twenty percent Petit Sirah and ten percent Grenache and Carignan. For California, this is considered a pretty traditional field blend. (And Ridge still makes this as one wine).\r\n\r\nOne last thing about field blends. Their initials are F B. F and B is an abbreviation for ‘food and beverage,’  and it refers to all kinds of positions and jobs in anything to do with drinks and food. We will come back to these initials. You’ll see.\r\n\r\nNow that we’re all acquainted and comfortable with what field blends are, we can start to get to our wine for this week.  And, yes, it is a field blend. Surprised?  Let’s hope not. Our wine is made by a group called The Dirty Pure Project. I call them a group, because somehow, that just doesn’t sound like a winery name. Besides their name, everything else about them is not normal either…not normal in a good sense. Not normal means they don’t use conventional grape varieties or growing areas or blends or styles or names for their wines.\r\n\r\nOnce these producers decided to make wines, they chose not to do expensive, boutique style Napa Cabernets or costly, small appellation Pinot Noirs, etc.  With all the options California has to offer to winemakers, this group chose to make a red wine based on Grenache, using grapes from the Central Coast area and a white wine from Vermentino grown in Lodi…totally off the beaten path. In keeping with their unconventionality, their finished wine bottles do not have foil or plastic around the necks. It’s an extra step, messy and expensive an ecologically not good. You get the idea.\r\n\r\nOur wine is their 2012 Red Field Blend. Made from eighty-nine percent Grenache, six percent Barbera and five percent Lagrein, definitely an unconventional grape. Personally, I’ve never heard of it before, and I suspect have never drunk it before. Lagrein, pronounced ‘la green,’ is a red variety from the northeastern corner of Italy. Its wines have dense, dark purple colors with black raspberry, plum and baking spice flavors, a lighter style body with some acidity. But, this wine, our wine, has a special name, besides Red Field Blend. It is called F  Bomb. And, now, calling our wine by its name, the F Bomb is a deep, dark red color with black pepper, white flowers, baking spice, blackberry jam and ripe strawberry flavors. And a great velvety texture. For those of you who have children or grandchildren of a certain age, you may know the slang meaning for F Bomb. I only learned it about a year or so ago. (And, the person I learned it from remembers it too).  Finding a wine with that name is about like the first time you got a bottle of Fat Bastard wine years ago. Remember what fun it was just to ask for that particular wine?  That’s how I feel about the F Bomb. Now that I know the slang, I just love this wine…its name and also how it tastes.\r\n\r\nWe all know a great name or a great label doesn’t matter in the least if we don’t like the wine. We may like names and labels, but we do have to swallow it if it’s in our glasses. Fortunately, the F Bomb tastes great. For $14.99, it is the bomb. F Bomb.

When asked to fill in for Pamela Brownstein this week while she takes a well-deserved vacation as Editor of The Island News, I happily said yes.  And what a nice surprise it was to be asked to write the Lunch Bunch column about one of my favorite restaurants in town, The Red Rooster Café.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18112\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/DSCN4475.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18112\" alt=\"Southern fried green tomatoes on top of baby spinach greens\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/DSCN4475-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Southern fried green tomatoes on top of baby spinach greens[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe eclectic and humorous Brendon Smalls, a familiar face at Red Rooster, served us first our drinks…all delivered in the classic southern staple, a mason jar. Joining me were Elizabeth Newberry, Nikki Hardison and Irene Goodnight. Irene ordered an Arnold Palmer and was delighted that Brendon offered the mixed berry honey lemonade as an alternative to the standard summer favorite. In fact, he told us that Red Rooster changes its lemonade options three times per week. It’s details like that that really sets the restaurant apart from others.\r\n\r\nAshley and Brendan were kind enough to bring us some starters that included their infamous crispy potato chips and four perfectly battered southern fried green tomatoes, served with a yummy guava sauce and topped with roasted red peppers and brie cheese on top of baby spinach greens.\r\n\r\nChoosing from the menu for our entrees was the hardest part. Red Rooster offers a selection of breakfast items (as meals and a la carte), salads, sandwiches, Panini’s and burgers. As diverse as our choices were, our palettes were equally pleased with our plated works of art. Irene chose the Special for the day…an oven roasted chicken breast covered and smothered with pepper jack cheese, crispy bacon and an Italian drizzle squeezed between a toasted hoagie roll. Nikki opted for the Yo Adrian, a toasted ciabatta sandwich with ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, banana peppers and condiments paired with a classic Italian dressing.

Be Local.  Be Happy.  Wait, that might be a song....but honestly our goal is to bring old school radio back to smaller communities like Beaufort.  I want people to know the DJ’s. And, 94.5 The Coast should play music the whole family can enjoy-- beach, soul, rock n’ roll, hits from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s and also get some local news, weather and traffic as needed. This is a good ole’ fashioned radio station in the greatest town in the south.”\r\nJoel got his first gig in radio while a freshman in High School. “I got my first job as a DJ at age 15 in Las Cruces, NM on a Country radio station.  I knew from that point on, it would be my career. I just wasn’t sure where I would end up or what level in the industry.  I worked my way up the radio ladder and decided that radio ownership would be an exciting direction to go, as long as you could do it in a small market with a great, close knit community.”\r\n\r\nHis first shot at ownership was in the Lowcountry.  Says Joel, “I purchased my first radio station with a couple business partners in Hilton Head and quickly decided that wasn’t the place for me. I sold my radio station after a few years and discovered a way to launch Beaufort’s only local radio station.”\r\n\r\nAs owner and on-air personality, “I still talk too much,” says Joel with a laugh.  He credits his staff for the station’s success.  “I have the best staff from upper management to part time DJs, and they are all equally valuable to this radio station. There are many moving parts to a radio station. At the end of the day, I’m fortunate to have a great staff built up of a general manager, sales manager, account executives, on-air personalities, promotions and business team members.  I make sure all of these pieces of the puzzle are fitting into place.”  His mom, Judy Garrett, runs his books “and keeps me in line,” adds Joel.  His dad Bert Garrett is a practicing physician.\r\n\r\nJoel also notes the contribution of his advertisers. “I have been very fortunate to have some great advertisers that believe in the product we deliver every day. Radio needs both the entertainment side and the advertising side to be successful and we are so lucky to have both.”\r\n\r\nWhen not behind the microphone, Joel pursues sports like golf, snow skiing and asks, “Does beer and bowling night count too?”  He’s also a hunter and says one of his most memorable hunts happened a number of years ago when he went gator hunting in Louisiana, (his first hunting trip of any sort by the way).  Says Joel, “the sound of a girlfriend’s Dad yelling out ‘shoot em, shoot em!’ will always ring in the back of my head as I wondered what would happen if I missed this 10 ft. dinosaur with fangs.”\r\n\r\nHe contributes to local charities saying,  “I represent ARTworks (The Arts Council of Beaufort County) as their Entertainment Director.  I’ve always been a fan of the arts and entertainment.  ARTworks is a great place to\r\nexpress it!”\r\n\r\nI also support and get behind everything that Friends of Caroline Hospice does.  They are a great group with an even better story.” Joel’s plans for the future are to continue to grow the company and make it even better for his listeners and advertisers.  He invites you to tune in to 94.5 The Coast and join in on the fun.\r\n\r\n<em>The Coast radio station is located in the Beaufort Town Center- or can be found online at 945thecoast.com</em>', 'Coasting to Success - Joel Garrett of 94.5 The Coast ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'coasting-to-success-joel-garrett-of-94-5-the-coast', '', '', '2014-08-11 10:49:31', '2014-08-11 14:49:31', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18114', 0, 'post', '', 0),

William Moultrie said that the Americans, untrained militia, had stood well during the Port Royal battle lifting the spirits of South Carolina’s patriots.  Among the wounded in this battle was Capt.

As I sat down to ponder on this week’s topic, I scrolled my tablet full of unpublished pieces and felt lead to share this journal entry from 2011. Ladies, take heart and enjoy. Men, be advised and encouraged.\r\n\r\nJanuary 14, 2011 - This morning, my little one woke up, and the first words out of his mouth were, “I need some sugar,” meaning he wanted a kiss. He then proceeded to plant a tiny kiss on my cheek, followed by a big hug as he smiled at me and asked, ‘How’s my great mom doing?’\r\n\r\nThis act of love, compassion and kindness from my eight year-old son touched my heart and was so special to me in many ways. Day after day, I have watched, listened and learned to see God speaking through my children; and this day, the lesson was no different. To personally know my son would only offer further confirmation that God truly exists and is always speaking.\r\n\r\nSince birth, my son has been a child with a marked difference from most children. He is full of so much compassion, patience and empathy for others…mostly his peers, but especially women. He just seems to know how we should and want to be treated. His kind little heart always has a word of comfort, encouragement or compliment to share, no matter the place or person. At the grocery store he randomly compliments the female cashiers by finding the simplest detail, such as hair, earrings or their smile to let them know that they are ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’ and that “God has blessed them with this job.”\r\n\r\nAround the age of six, he began opening and holding doors for my daughter and me. It always brings a smile to my face when I see him rush to the car door, so that his sister and I don’t have to open them. He even gets a little testy if we happen to do it ourselves and complains that, ‘it’s his job to do that.’ A year later, at seven years old, during our visit to the Civic Center, he stopped mid-stride, leaving his friends to turn and run back down a flight of stairs as he stated, ‘I have to go back and help my mom up the stairs.’ He grabbed my hand and escorted me to the top just as a gentleman would.\r\n\r\n<em>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, mother, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and entrepreneur is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.

Brent Morris, Ph.D., an assistant professor of history in the Department of Humanities and Fine Arts at USCB, will share in a total of $34 million in grants awarded by the NEH for 177 humanities projects nationwide. Dr. Morris earned a B.A. degree magna cum laude in History and English Language and Literature at the University of South Carolina in 2001, and an M.A. degree in History at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., in 2008. He earned a Ph.D. at Cornell in 2010, specializing in United States and African-American History. Dr. Morris’s research and academic interests involve Nineteenth Century United States History; South Carolina History;  Slavery, Abolition and Antislavery; the Civil War and Reconstruction; and African-American History.\r\n\r\nIn the latest NEH award, announced July 21, the University of South Carolina Columbia will receive an outright grant of $199,157 to fund a three-week institute in the summer of 2015 for 30 K-12 teachers selected from across the country. Dr. Morris, the project director, has assembled a virtual who’s who of nationally renowned American history scholars to teach the courses. They will explore the topic of Reconstruction and its aftermath in South Carolina, Georgia and the Sea Islands. The project is entitled, “America’s Reconstruction: The Untold Story.”\r\n\r\nBesides Dr. Morris, instructors for the institute will include Lawrence S. Rowland, Ph.D., the university’s distinguished professor emeritus. Dr. Rowland is a noted historian, scholar and chronicler of Beaufort County. He can trace his family’s ancestry back to 1679 when Sgt. Lawrence Sanders, an English property owner, migrated from the Caribbean island of Barbados to the nascent colony of South Carolina. The Sanders family has been in Beaufort ever since.\r\n\r\nUSCB historian Steve Wise, who earned his Ph.D. at the University of South Carolina, has agreed to teach at the institute. His scholarly interests involve military history, American history and the history of South Carolina.\r\n\r\nYet another luminary is Eric Foner, Ph.D., the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University in New York. Dr. Foner is widely regarded as the leading contemporary historian of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. A former president of the American Historical Association, Dr. Foner is the author of The Fiery Trail: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery, which won the Pulitzer Prize, the Lincoln Prize and the Bancroft Prize in 2011.\r\n\r\n“This period in history is known for the federal government’s attempts to grant equal rights to former slaves as well as the political leadership of African-Americans in the former Confederate States,” Dr. Morris says.\r\n\r\n“Reconstruction actually began in Beaufort County (Port Royal) in 1861, the first year of the war, and, though the era fell short of many Americans’ expectations, it laid much of the groundwork for the ‘Second Reconstruction,’ or the Civil Rights Movement, of the 20th century.”\r\n\r\nThe institute will be housed on the Historic Beaufort Campus of the University of South Carolina Beaufort.

A diet is usually a short-term fix that is perpetuating an issue of the mind. This issue is that we do not do the right things for our bodies on a regular basis, therefore, we need a quick fix because we’ve gone down the wrong path. A lifestyle change is what is needed to create long-term results. A lifestyle change means that we have changed how we think and how we feel about ourselves in relation to the foods we eat. So, in a nutshell, if you never want to diet again, change your thoughts and feelings about yourself and the food that you eat. It is easier said than done because people can be addicted to certain foods and created bad habits over year and years which is hard to reverse. Try this one simple tip: every time you’re about to eat, ask yourself 2 questions:</p><p>- Is this food nourishing to my body?</p><p>And</p><p>- Will it make me feel good?</p><p>Then think about every single bite you put into your mouth and nothing else and focus on chewing the bite at least 20 times. This is called mindful eating and can change the way you think and feel about food and how the body will assimilate it. Your brain is constantly talking to your gut and when mindful eating is initiated, so our your gastric juices which will allow for faster and easier break down of food and therefore more nutrients to be absorbed, leading to a instantly increased health.</p><p><em>Ian Hart is creator of EarthFIT Transformation Systems and co-creator of the Back Pain Relief4Life Formula.

I hope for something positive, beautiful, or healing.  I hope for world peace, knowing I can only do my small part in the process.  World peace will come – or it won’t.  I hope for rain for my garden. Rain will come – or it won’t.\r\n\r\nThis is not to say I don’t set intentions.  I am, fiercely and with every fiber of my being, setting the intention that a loved one’s battle with cancer will result in total healing and the full remission/cessation of cancer.  And, I hope for ease and grace during the process.  Can you sense the difference?\r\n\r\nI also know that hope, because of its very ephemeral nature, comes and goes, waxes and wanes.  For me, hope has no specifically identifiable “something” at the end.  Indeed, hope has no end.   My hopes may not materialize in concrete ways “right now”, and I know that hope will return; it’s a lovely wave I can ride.  And, when I am most present, the Universe rewards and encourages my hopefulness: a beautiful ray of sunshine piercing a storm cloud; an unexpected smile from a stranger; a loving hug, for no particular reason.  Hope is rewarded in small, immediate, meaningful ways.  These fleeting, yet transcendent, moments are the constant rewards for living a\r\nhopeful life. We can hope for things over which we have no control (rain, world peace, freedom from cancer).  And because we have no power over these things, we are free to relax into hope. All that is required is to “be” hopeful; one doesn’t need to “do” anything.  To be hopeful requires no extra energy or effort, no preparation, no work.  I’m not even sure it requires “presence.”\r\n\r\nHope is a possibility, not a promise.\r\n\r\nI encourage you to relax into hope.  Why not try it?  There is everything (and no thing) to be gained.\r\n\r\n<em>Rebecca Compton recently retired from a much loved career as a school librarian.

Siegel</strong>\r\n\r\nIn 2020, the number of people in the United States with visual impairment – sight loss often caused by eye disease, trauma, or a congenital or degenerative condition that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses – is projected to increase to at least four million. This is a 70 percent increase from 2000 and is due to the growing aging population and prevalence of age-related eye diseases.\r\n\r\nTo help determine ways to decrease the incidence of visual impairment, researchers at the University of Wisconsin examined the relationships between the incidence of visual impairment and three modifiable lifestyle behaviors: smoking, drinking alcohol and staying physically active. The research was conducted as part of the Beaver Dam Eye Study, a long-term population-based cohort study from 1988 to 2013 of nearly 5,000 adults aged 43 to 84 years.\r\n\r\nThe researchers found that regular physical activity and an alcoholic beverage every now and then is associated with a lower risk of visual impairment. The data showed that over 20 years, visual impairment developed in 5.4 percent of the population and varied based on lifestyle behaviors. For example, people who were physically active had a 58 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who were not physically active.\r\n\r\nThe researchers also found that people who drank alcohol occasionally (defined as those who have consumed alcohol in the past year, but reported fewer than one serving in an average week) had a 49 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who had consumed no alcohol in the past year.\r\n\r\nAs with most epidemiologic research, the researchers caution that a limitation to their study is that the findings may be due, in part, to unmeasured factors related to both lifestyle behaviors and development of visual impairment. The data does not prove that these lifestyle behaviors are directly responsible for increased risk. The researchers still believe the research shows good promise for indicating ways that people can lessen their risk of visual impairment through lifestyle changes.', 'The benefits of exercise and alcohol', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-benefits-of-exercise-and-alcohol', '', '', '2014-08-08 10:35:28', '2014-08-08 14:35:28', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18174', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Public participation is sought.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> “Right now we aren’t sure how or even if this will move forward, but we want to hear from more Beaufort city residents about how they feel on the subject,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “Any change to the process used to elect members of City Council deserves a good public conversation.”</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> The Burton-Dale-Beaufort NAACP branch requested the change late last year and has been working with City Council and the S.C. Office of Research and Statistics in hopes of letting voters decide in November\'s general election.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> By state law, the S.C. Election Commission must have referendum language by Aug. 15 for it to be placed on the November ballot, said Bill Harvey, Beaufort’s city attorney. The City Council won’t have time to adequately air the issue with city residents and vote on any reference language – likely meaning the NAACP would need to collect signatures by Aug. 15 from 15 percent of the registered voters within the city requesting the question be added to the ballot.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> Currently, all four Beaufort City Council members plus the mayor are elected in at-large, non-partisan elections. Registered voters from across the city elect council members, regardless of where the candidates live.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> The local NAACP, assisted by the national organization\'s Legal Defense and Education Fund, has pushed to create single-member districts, with at least one district having a majority of black residents. Beaufort City Council hasn’t had a black member since 1993.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> Earlier this summer the NAACP drew up voting district maps with four and six council seats elected from specific geographic districts. Under their plan, the mayor, who also serves on City Council, would be elected at-large by all city voters.</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> “The question at this point isn’t how many districts or where those districts would be,” Keyserling said, “it is simply a question of, do city residents want to change from electing all City Council members at-large, or do they like the idea of single-member districts? I think we all benefit from this discussion and I hope we hear from as many city residents as possible in our work session.”</p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"> Beaufort City Hall is located at 1911 Boundary Street.</p>', 'Beaufort seeks public comment Tuesday on changing voting districts to single-members', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-seeks-public-comment-tuesday-on-changing-voting-districts-to-single-members', '', '', '2014-08-11 10:28:41', '2014-08-11 14:28:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18220', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18226, 4, '2014-08-14 11:24:03', '2014-08-14 15:24:03', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nSometimes, wine drinkers get lucky and find a great new wine that they really, really like at a great price (because price is always part of how much you like a particular wine). Finding a wine that’s good for its price is one thing. But finding a wine that’s great for its price is lucky.\r\n\r\nOur tidbits for this week come from France. The first one is about a relatively new category of wines in France — the “Indication Géographique Protégé.”  The predecessor to the IGP category was the “Vin de Pays,” which was written in 1973 and passed into law in 1979. These wines were below the AC, or top, level but above the Vin de Table, bottom, level. In 2009, the new IGP category replaced the Vin de Pays. The name change was instigated for several reasons. The IGP category is more rigid in its location of origin specification, which is good for the consumer who wants to know such things. Also, IGPs are recognized by the European Union, good for selling these wines in European countries. Truth be known, and in keeping with the French “secret wine code” state-of-mind, French law allows producers to label their wines either Vin de Pays or IGP.  Nice?  Still, we have to keep up because it is their game. For our wine this week, the producer has chosen to use the new IGP designation Puy-de-Dôme that was established in 2011.\r\n\r\nPuy-de-Dôme is an area located in central France, within the Massif Central which is a low mountain range in the south-central part of the country. The area has a hilly topography, shaped over time by volcanic activity. There is actually a volcano in the IGP that gave its name to this area. (Dôme refers to the volcano dome of a Puy mountain.)  The soils here are volcanic granite and basalt, making it a very suitable for vines. During the day, these soils store the sun’s heat and then reflect it back onto the vines and their grapes during the night. It’s one way that a cooler region like this can produce better grapes. This area can get some heavy rainfalls, more than the grapes really need, but a warm wind from off the mountains helps dry the vineyards.\r\n\r\nInterestingly, the Puy-de-Dôme area is not known for an abundance of wines. (Even though at the end of the 19th century, Puy-de-Dôme was France’s third largest wine producing département.) They currently only have one small AC area. About 75 percent of their IGP wine production is reds, made mostly from Gamay, with a small amount of whites and rosés. In this area, they prefer their new IGP name and designation, hoping for more increased appreciation and sales of their wines.\r\n\r\nNow, having told you most of the red wines from Puy-de-Dôme are made from the Gamay grape, I can relieve your concerns and tell you that our wine for this week is a Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir, as far as France is concerned, is the great grape of red Burgundies. It is said Burgundy made the grape famous, and Pinot Noir made Burgundy famous. It is said, too, that the Dukes of Valois, Burgundy nobles, were responsible for spreading this variety in the region. Pinot Noir has been grown in Burgundy since 100 AD, and has been planted in many other parts of the country too.\r\n\r\nWith food, Pinot Noir is one of the most versatile grapes. Its strawberry, cherry and raspberry flavors with a mix of spices like cinnamon, with cocoa and coffee and earthy undertones Some experts have been known to say that Pinot Noir has a red wine profile and a white wine style. It is lighter bodied than most red wines with subtle tannins, thanks to its thinner skin. There is a balancing acidity in Pinot Noir wines, making it taste better with a slight chill. And the list of food ideas goes on and on — mushroom bruschetta, fennel-garlic pork roast, vegan enchiladas, red curry squash soup, roasted goose, brined chicken with raisins and pine nuts, leek and pecorino pizza, smoked ham glazed with red pepper jelly, grilled squid with onions and sorrel, green lentil stew, whole wheat rigatoni with roasted vegetables, Provençal vegetable tart, fresh fettuccini with chicken liver sauce, five-spice pork in lettuce crisps, maple-glazed chicken with mustard sauce, ziti with portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions and goat cheese, eggplant stuffed with lamb and pine nuts, meat stuffed cabbage. And the list goes on.  If we look at this list, despite our rumbling stomachs, we can easily see there’s not much Pinot Noir won’t go with, proteins or seasonings.\r\n\r\nOur Pinot Noir comes from Cave Saint-Verny. It’s called Le Pinot Noir. “The” Pinot Noir. This Cave is a co-op with 90 or so members who own about 445 acres. And, about 20 percent of their wines are under the IGP appellation. Because of their large membership, many of their grapes are still hand picked, a rarity in this part of France.  Their vines are spread over dozens of communes with a high proportion of volcanic soil. And this base is evident in our wine. It is a clear, deep garnet red color, medium bodied with light tannins and mild acidity. Its flavors are red fruits,  blackberries and black cherries, mild earthiness and cocoa with a hint of minerality and a warm graininess. Lots of fruit flavors for some of us, and textures too.\r\n\r\nWhen I first got to taste this wine, it was with a group, so we all tasted each other’s foods with the wine: French onion soup, waffles with whipped cream and strawberries, cheeseburger, rare, homemade vegetable and feta cheese pizza, and pasta with an alfredo sauce. The good news is that we all liked this wine, before the food came, with the food, and after, again by itself. And isn’t that what we all like? A drinking wine and a food wine. Seems like sometimes we do get lucky!  Yay!  For only $10.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Lucky to find a lovely new Pinot Noir', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lucky-to-find-a-lovely-new-pinot-noir', '', '', '2014-08-14 11:24:03', '2014-08-14 15:24:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18226', 0, 'post', '', 0);

They shared a passion for art, creativity and camping. Yes, camping! They have now been very happily married for 21 years and have restored over 30 vintage campers. Along with their successful sign business next door,  they now have one of the nation’s best custom camper restoration businesses right here on Burton Hill Road in Beaufort.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18229\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile-Julie-and-David-Felver.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18229\" alt=\"Julie and David Felver\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile-Julie-and-David-Felver-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></a> Julie and David Felver[/caption]\r\n\r\nDavid, son of Wizard Auto Body owner Tom Felver, grew up in the vintage car restoration business with his brother Greg. Between the hot rods and car shows, David developed a passion for old things and how they could be made new again.\r\n\r\nHe and Julie didn’t have much money when they first got married, so they decided to buy an old Volkswagen camper and fix it up. Soon after they had their first child they realized they’d have to get a bigger camper. So when they sold their first camper so quickly, it gave them the idea that maybe there was a business there. Says David, “We’ve always restored campers how we like them — modern, but with a vintage feel.”\r\n\r\nTheir campers stood out at the vintage camper rallies they attended. And friends from the rallies started to ask them to help redo theirs.  That grew into the Felver Design Vintage Restorations.\r\n\r\nRight now they try and focus on one camper rehab at a time and Julie adds her fine skills as an interior designer.  All the while overseeing one of Beaufort’s most successful sign companies next door.  But there is a connection between the two businesses.\r\n\r\nShortly after getting married, they moved to Orlando where both got jobs with a top sign company as graphic artists. This started their desire to eventually open a shop of their own.\r\n\r\n“You have to find something to make you stand out, make people remember you,” says David about their sign and camper business. He also goes on to say how they love to work with a client to make a custom sign or camper that is uniquely “about them,” a perfect match of who the person is and their final product. “The sign business is a unique opportunity to work with people growing their businesses, and the camper business allows us to work with the people when they want to get away,” says David with a smile.\r\n\r\nThey feel whether it’s creating signs or designing the interior of a client’s camper, that their art background has brought them to where they are today. They started both companies in 2007.\r\n\r\nThey have two great children — Carson, their daughter, is 15, and Dawson, their son, is 13. The kids are both currently enrolled in an online charter school. This works very well for the family due to the fact that they are on the road traveling and camping so often.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to their camper restorations, David says, “We have a passion for bringing new life to treasures from a bygone era. We see potential in all things old where others might see none. Whether it’s the romance of the open road or the intrigue of wanderlust, these vessels of yesteryear will satiate your passion for adventure.”\r\n\r\nJulie is also a local artist.  Her wonderful mixed-media shark tooth designs are currently  on display at SALT Gallery on Bay Street.\r\n\r\nBoth Julie and David love Beaufort. Says David, “Beaufort has a magnetic pull with its history, culture, art and the people.”\r\n\r\nAdds Julie, “We love our beautiful hometown of Beaufort. On our off time we enjoy spending time with our two children, (Carson and Dawson). Church, going to the beach, camping, travel, and music are also things we enjoy doing together as a family.”\r\n\r\nJulie and David restore campers for clients as well as build spec campers to sell.   But whether it is signs or campers, customization is the key, says David, as they both work hard to craft the perfect final expression of a client’s tastes and inner wishes.\r\n\r\nIf you are thinking about rebranding yourself or your business or hitting the road with your family, then consider a visit to Felver Design Studio — a sign studio marketing business with a vintage camper restoration shop right next door!\r\n\r\n<b>Felver Design Sign Studio is located at 10 Burton Hill Road, Unit G, Beaufort.

Seriously, I can’t believe my baby just turned 1. She always looked so little compared to her big 2-year-old brother, but now she’s so close to walking, she’s right there with him defending her territory, taking his toys, trying to eat his food off the plate, and looking up at her parents with her big bright eyes and adorable smile filled with four teeth.\r\n\r\nMy sweet Selah has gone from an easy-going infant to a spunky chick seemingly overnight. I would describe her as a pistol, a character, energetic, silly and so smart. She has so many looks and expressions, you can just see the wheels turning inside her fuzz-covered head.\r\n\r\nWhen she doesn’t get what she wants and throws herself on the floor dramatically, it’s hard not to laugh. But then I see the future and know that we’re totally in for it because I also see the past and know that I used to do the same thing. My husband’s favorite phrase when she’s acting naughty or sly is “she comes by it honestly; she’s just like her mom.”\r\n\r\nI can’t slow down time or reverse it, so I am trying to enjoy my amazing girl as she is now. I wish her all the happiness that can fill one’s heart with joy and wonder, just as she has filled my heart with love that grows deeper each day.', 'The Baby Diaries: Celebrating one year with joy, disbelief', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-baby-diaries-celebrating-one-year-with-joy-disbelief', '', '', '2014-08-14 12:32:54', '2014-08-14 16:32:54', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18249', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I marinated tomatoes and cucumbers we had picked up from our local produce stand. We ate at our dinner table with multiple candles shimmering in the darkness. It was so romantic.\r\n\r\nYou guessed it: Our electric was out.\r\n\r\nWith the temperature at 88 degrees and the heat index at 105 degrees, we  anticipated some kind of rainfall. Of course, associated with bad storms, there are the occasional power outages. The clouds across the creek from us started to mushroom around noon and they grew darker as the day went on. The thunder and lightening in the distance sent the dogs under the bed. Then it got closer. There was a piercing lightening followed by a particularly loud clap of thunder. That did it: The house grew dark.\r\n\r\nIt’s amazing how quiet the house is when the electric is out — no air conditioning, no refrigerator whirring in the background, no television blaring. The only sound was the ticking of the battery operated clock and the sound of matches as we lit candles.\r\n\r\nWe still had our iPads and cell phones so we could check out the weather radar and contact SCE&amp;G about the outage. But, in the meantime, we sat in our under-utilized living room with candles and hurricane lanterns and just chatted.\r\n\r\nWe had a few hours of peace and quiet before the noise returned. Ceiling fans started to turn, the air conditioning kicked on and the television came alive. We were back to normal once again.\r\n\r\nToo bad it took a thunderstorm for us to have a romantic dinner.', 'Enjoying an impromptu candlelight dinner', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'enjoying-an-impromptu-candlelight-dinner', '', '', '2014-08-14 12:33:48', '2014-08-14 16:33:48', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18251', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Most of the harvesting is already done. Aromas of zucchini bread baking and canning peaches fill the air in many Lowcountry kitchens. Most of the summer perennials are past their prime and the annuals are getting leggy, but there is still much to do in the August garden!\r\n\r\nThis is the perfect time to collect seeds from your best performers. Many herb, perennial and annual seeds can be sown now for next year’s show such as Coreopsis (Tick Seed), Shasta Daisies, Columbine, Rudebeckia (Black Eyed Susan’s), Monarda (Bee Balm) and Poppies. If you want to get a head start on your winter annuals, you can sow Snapdragons, Violas, Stock, Oriental Poppies, Forget-me-nots, Calendula and Primrose.\r\n\r\nYou can also begin dividing perennials; start with your Bearded Iris. If the bulbish roots look wormy, just soak them in a bucket of diluted bleach and the little critters won’t see another sun rise. Don’t forget to cut the foliage back to about four to six inches. You can divide all of the perennial flowers once they stop blooming.\r\n\r\nCitrus trees and roses will need a little pruning and dose of fertilizer before winter. After September, you should allow the roses to develop their “hips” and finish their cycle. Don’t cut them again until Valentine’s Day. Only prune the citrus to improve its shape or to remove a damaged or wild branch, but never in winter.\r\n\r\nOur growing season isn’t really long enough for some of the tropical fruits, but if you were lucky enough to get bananas this year, leave them on the vine as long as you can. Harvest them green just before the first frost and place them in a brown paper bag with an apple. It’s your best bet for ripe bananas.\r\n\r\nDon’t give up on your raggedy Petunias yet! Shear them, feed them and in about four weeks they’ll be blooming again.\r\n\r\nThe compost pile is getting pretty full by August. Here is a short list of what NOT to include: fallen fruit, diseased leaves and weeds.\r\n\r\nAs you enjoy the end of your summer harvest, it’s time to sow the seeds for the winter crops: cabbage, kale, broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, parsley, carrots, radish, beets, onions, and don’t forget about garlic. Garlic in the garden will keep many of the pests from eating your goodies!\r\n\r\nThere are companion planting guides available online to help you plan what grows next to what. The insects that one attracts will eat the insects that attack the other. Nature is so smart!\r\n\r\nJust thinking of cooler weather makes me want to buy spring bulbs. It’s a good time to order Daffodils and Narcissis. Don’t bother with Tulips, Crocus or Hyacinths unless you have money to burn. They may come up once, but they just don’t like it here (too warm). A little advise when it comes to buying bulbs: You really do get what you pay for. Most of the big bags of bulbs are small and of poor quality.\r\n\r\nSquirrels are your biggest problem with bulbs. Bone meal is recommended as a starter fertilizer. I totally agree, however, it really just helps the squirrels find them faster; they love bone meal. So I recommend planting your bulbs in a cage. Large suet (bird food) cages work well, or you can make your own with inexpensive chicken wire.\r\n\r\n<i>Please send your garden wisdom and any questions you may have to susan@outdoorarchitecture.com.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Nothing to do in the August Garden?

(18277, 4, '2014-08-14 12:57:56', '2014-08-14 16:57:56', 'Beaufort County students saw slight declines in performance on South Carolina PASS tests and high school exit exams for 2013-14, the first declines following several years of improvement. Scoring decreased statewide at rates higher than in Beaufort County, according to data officially released today by the South Carolina Department of Education.\r\n\r\n“Educators generally look at long-term trend data rather than year-to-year fluctuations,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss.  “Over the last few years, our student performance has improved significantly, and our challenge now is to analyze these new data and look for places where we can target our efforts and stay on an upward track.”\r\n\r\nMoss said that some of the statewide declines in PASS performance this year were expected because two of the tests — Mathematics and Reading and Research — were different from last year’s assessments and included material that educators considered to be more rigorous. Lower exit exam scores also were expected because first-time test takers, mostly 10th graders, knew before taking the tests that the General Assembly was eliminating the state law that required students to pass the exit exam before earning high school diplomas.\r\n\r\n<b>PASS highlights</b>\r\n\r\nSouth Carolina and federal laws require end-of-year accountability tests based on state academic standards. PASS (Palmetto Assessment of State Standards) tests students in grades 3-8 in five subjects: English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies and writing.\r\n\r\nPASS has three scoring levels, and students are said to have met the state standard if they score at either of the top two levels:\r\n\r\n• Exemplary: The student demonstrated exemplary performance in meeting the grade-level standard.\r\n\r\n• Met: The student met the grade-level standard.\r\n\r\n• Not met: The student did not meet the grade-level standard.\r\n\r\nFor 2014, Beaufort County’s percentages of third through eighth-grade students meeting the state standard — a score of Basic on the three PASS scoring levels — improved in 18 of 30 combinations of grade levels and subjects tested, compared to 18 of 26 in 2013 (Writing exams were given in only two grades last year but in six grades this year).  Statewide, PASS performance improved in eight of 30 grade levels and subjects tested.\r\n\r\nThe numbers of Beaufort County students scoring in the highest category (Exemplary) increased in 22 out of 30 subject-grade configurations (six grades each in Writing, Math, English Language Arts, Science and Social Studies). The numbers of students scoring in the lowest category (Not Met) increased in 19 out of 30 subject-grade configurations.\r\n\r\n<b>HSAP (high school exit exam) highlights</b>\r\n\r\nHSAP (High School Assessment Program) testing serves as both a state-mandated exit exam required for a South Carolina high school diploma and a federally mandated assessment program to measure high school progress.\r\n\r\nPublic school students must pass both the English language arts and mathematics sections of HSAP to meet the state’s exit examination requirement for a diploma.  The tests are initially administered in students’ second year of high school, and students who don’t pass both sections on their first attempts have additional opportunities to retake the tests they have not passed.\r\n\r\nDuring their initial attempt last spring, 81.2 percent of Beaufort County test-takers passed both sections of the exit exam.  That represented a 3 percentage point decrease from 2013’s passing rate of 84.2 but still 9.5 percentage points higher than five years ago.\r\n\r\nBeaufort County’s 81.2 percent passing rate surpassed the state average (77.4 percent).  As a whole, South Carolina’s percent-passing rate dropped 4.6 percentage points, from 82 to 77.4.\r\n\r\nAmong individual high schools, Battery Creek High had a 67.1 percent passing rate in 2013 (down from 80.1), Beaufort High was 82 percent (down from 85.5 percent), Bluffton High was 89.8 percent (down from 89.9), Hilton Head High was 86.9 percent (up from 85.2 percent) and Whale Branch Early College High School was 66.2 percent (down from 75 percent).', 'District test scores mirror state', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'district-test-scores-mirror-state', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:41', '2018-07-12 15:00:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18277', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Here are some reminders about the start of school and some things to look for during the upcoming year.\r\n\r\nWe have a new principal at Coosa Elementary, Mr. Charles Del Forge. He comes to us with a good bit of experience from North Carolina, where he served as principal in several elementary schools. Although he has no previous experience with “The Leader in Me Program”, he has already been working with it and sees its strengths. He is personable and knowledgeable and is looking forward to meeting staff, parents and students.\r\n\r\nPlease pay close attention to the new attendance zones, they become official this year. There were changes that impacted both Coosa Elementary and Lady’s Island Elementary. Bus routes may also be changing, so please watch for information in the media or mailings from school. If you are new to the area, please get your child registered as quickly as possible, and don’t forget your immunizations!\r\n\r\nFor high school students, this is the time to pick up schedules, get books, reserve a parking space (if you qualify) and get other valuable information for the start of the school year.\r\n\r\nDuring the upcoming school year, the school board will be focusing on several key new initiatives:\r\n\r\n<b>• The School Choice Program: </b>During the last year, each school spent considerable time identifying a theme or instructional approach that it will be using now or in the future. Staffs have been involved with professional development throughout the summer and will continue into the fall. In January or February of 2015, the school district will host a series of community showcases around the county, giving parents and students the opportunity to view and learn more about each school’s option of choice. In February and March, parents and students will have the opportunity to make choices outside their traditional attendance zone. Please pay special attention to the dates and process for this significant change coming to our district. We are continuing to work on transportation options to support this new program of choice.\r\n\r\n<b>• Expanding Early Childhood: </b>This will be the first of a three year initiative to expand early childhood opportunities for 4-year-old students. It will be a gradual expansion of our existing programs so that we might involve more students in pre-kindergarten experiences and instruction. The district will start by getting all existing programs to a full day, and then over the next two years open additional classroom space to accommodate more students.\r\n\r\n<b>• New Career and Technology Education (CATE) Programs:</b> The district will begin this year improving and expanding the offerings in our CATE program. These are programs specifically designed to develop technical skills in our middle and high school students that could lead to additional training through TCL or immediate job placement through internships and cooperatives. Eventually, every high school will have several CATE focused offerings, with specific centers developed at Battery Creek High and the new high school to be built in Bluffton. These programs will be open to transfer opportunities for students from other schools within the district.\r\n\r\nThe beginning of a new school year is always exciting for students and parents. While there is still time for a trip to the beach or the mountains or a visit to relatives, please begin to prepare for the start of school. Parents, I strongly encourage you, where possible, to get involved with your child’s schooling; join the PTO or Booster Club, become a member of the School Improvement Council (SIC), or at least attend meetings to find out more about what is going on at school. All evidence clearly points to stronger student performance when parents are part of their education. Make sure you set aside a place and time at home to do school work; have your child, if they are struggling with any of their work, take advantage of the tutors at school.\r\n\r\nNow, more than ever before, a strong education is an essential foundation to later success and a satisfying lifestyle. Make sure your high school student is looking beyond graduation to at least two years of instruction. The district’s new Building a Better Beaufort B3 Program,  developed in conjunction with the Technical College of the Lowcountry, opens the possibility for any Beaufort County graduate to attend two years at TCL tuition free.\r\n\r\nPlease enjoy the rest of your summer and I wish the very best to you all for the new school year.\r\n\r\n<i>Editor’s Note: Mr. Bill Evans is the School Board Representative for District 2 and Chair of the Beaufort County School Board of Education.

At times, our mind seems to have lives and agendas of its own — persistent thoughts throughout the day and unstoppable ruminations during the night. This behavior is widespread, not only in adults, but in children as well.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18289\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"180\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Ifetayo.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-18289\" alt=\"Ifetayo White\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Ifetayo.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" /></a> Ifetayo White[/caption]\r\n\r\nIt is not a common practice in our society to empower people with a knowledge of grounding. In many indigenous cultures, some form of grounding is taught and practiced by children as young as 2 years of age.  For some who are in cultures where humans and the natural world live in closer proximity, it could make the difference between life and death. To be able to sit still, be quiet, and remain calm is a requirement.\r\n\r\nHumankind is blessed with minds that have enormous capacities for learning so many useful skills and information.  Our minds are capable of creating with an almost unlimited field of imagination.  Minds are able to translate feelings into words to be expressed in our relationships and in communication with the world’s citizens.   But as so many wise teachers have shared, our minds are to be our servants and not our masters.\r\n\r\nSo much of education in our society is the training and expanding of the minds of children and adults to be more and more masters of everything except themselves.  Many individuals and organizations are realizing the necessity of teaching practices that encourage us to reverse our victimization to the “runaway mind” and the stress of not being able to focus or to be still. There are now more schools and workplaces encouraging students and employees to have times of quiet and/or more time outside in a natural environment.  Some of these institutions are even offering instruction in relaxation practices.\r\n\r\nThe practice of meditation has been foremost in my life since 1982 and grounding meditation is the foundation of all my other self-care practices.  Groundedness is a way of being, not just an occasional event. Practicing the meditation becomes the wellspring from which the moment-by-moment capacity to live with a mind that is not overwhelming or out of control.  Grounding is simply returning the mind to the breath, returning the mind to the body, returning the mind to the earth.\r\n\r\nWhen the mind can be engaged in a practice of returning, it will learn to settle down. Think of how a puppy is taught to keep returning to “sit” or “heel,” it’s the repetition of the command that eventually results in a well-behaved pet.  The same with our minds! We keep bringing our minds back to connection with our breath, with our bodies, and with the earth.  We just keep returning to the places of groundedness for our minds.\r\n\r\nDuring any times of concentration or meditation, our minds will wander.  We will have all sorts of thoughts and feelings come up. In grounding meditation, we invite the mind to come back to the focus by breathing from the earth, up and through our feet, up and through our bodies into our minds.  We let the mind settle down within our bodies, following the exhale breath as it descends through our bodies passing through our feet, back to the earth.  This practice is so simple and so non-threatening to our powerful minds.\r\n\r\nAs with all practices of meditation and neurological reprogramming, it becomes easier to call forward the practice during the moments of our days and nights, in routine activities and during nighttime rest. It is such an empowerment for children and adults alike to be able to manage thoughts, feelings and behavior when needed.\r\n\r\nThe gift of grounding is the gift of being the master of our mind and not its victim, of being able to focus and create, to stay calm, to be quiet and to be at peace.\r\n<div></div>', 'Grounding: The practice of returning', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'grounding-the-practice-of-returning', '', '', '2014-08-14 14:57:34', '2014-08-14 18:57:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18288', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The city is in very strong financial strength and that is a huge plus in this economy.”\r\n\r\nUnder the agreement, Dadson is free to seek other employment while working as Beaufort City Manager, and the City Council will begin its search for a project manager in the near term. A broader search for a permanent city manager likely will follow, Keyserling said.\r\n\r\n“Scott has worked tirelessly and with great dedication, but we both agree it’s time for a change,” Keyserling said. “He did wonderful things to carry us through the recession, and that is what put the city in a position to do some very positive things.\r\n\r\n“This is an exciting time for Beaufort. We have the major Boundary Street improvement getting ready to start, we are actively seeking economic redevelopment job creation opportunities, we have improvements to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and the need to generate a long-term maintenance fund for the park, we have much-needed work on our stormwater and drainage, we have the National Historic Landmark District to protect and grow, we have our waterways and open vistas to protect and grow, and, fortunately, we have an active citizenry working with us,” Keyserling said.\r\n\r\n“We have a lot of work ahead, but that’s also what makes working for us so appealing,” Keyserling said.\r\n\r\nThe city likely will move in the next few weeks to hire a project manager to lead Beaufort’s multiple capital projects, including the Boundary Street redevelopment. That person would work alongside Dadson in the short-term and, depending on background and qualifications, could be considered for the permanent city manager job.\r\n\r\n“It is amazing to think that when Scott came to us, the economy was still in good shape,” Mayor Pro Tem Donnie Beer said. “Then we had the recession, and he kept us moving forward even then. That, by itself, is an amazing accomplishment. It’s going to take a special person now to address everything we have on our plate. It won’t be an easy job.”\r\n\r\nUnder the new amendment to Dadson’s employment contract, he agrees to continue as city manager for up to six months at his regular salary and benefits, while he is allowed to seek new employment and while the City Council begins its search for a replacement.\r\n\r\nDadson pointed to the city’s strong financial position, supported by external audits, as one of his main achievements. “We made some very calculated and strategic decisions from 2007 through today that put the city of Beaufort on very firm financial footing despite the recession that really crippled a lot of small towns,” Dadson said.\r\n\r\nThose decisions included outsourcing some services, focusing on customer service, consolidating city staff and reinforcing a corps of volunteer boards and commissions.\r\n\r\n“A lot of municipalities look at what we’ve been able to do the past 10 years and are amazed, considering how so many of them lost revenue, lost residents and lost community support,” Dadson said. “Even with decreased revenues, we were able in most cases to continue or even improve our level of service, and we should be rightfully proud of that.”\r\n\r\nThe agreement caps Dadson’s monthly payments at six months.', 'Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson, City Council agree to part ways after more than eight years', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-city-manager-scott-dadson-city-council-agree-to-part-ways-after-more-than-eight-years', '', '', '2014-08-14 15:15:02', '2014-08-14 19:15:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18302', 0, 'post', '', 0),

They’ll polish off a bowl of dried dog food, then walk over to see if there’s anything tasty in the trash. If they’re still hungry, they’ll head to the laundry room to see what’s in the cat box. Basically, they’ll eat, or at least sample, whatever they find.\r\n\r\nThere’s a good reason for their liberal tastes. Unlike cats, that evolved solely as hunters, dogs survived by scavenging. When they couldn’t catch live prey, they’d eat the ancient equivalent of road kill. They didn’t care too much if had been lying in the sun for a week or was moldering under old leaves. It was food, and they weren’t going to pass it up. When meat wasn’t on the menu, they’d rummage around for tender leafy stalks, berries, grasses, fruits, flower blossoms, seeds and even a few roots, They simply weren’t fussy, and dogs today haven’t gotten any fussier. They’re predisposed to eat just about everything.\r\n\r\nIn addition, there’s some evidence that dogs get cravings for certain foods. It’s possible that dogs occasionally get a hankering for greens, just as people sometimes go to bed dreaming about Mom’s fried chicken. It’s not as strange as it may sound. There is also a theory that dogs may not always be seeking food, but are intuitively seeking medicine. Each spring, Moses, my Bassett hound friend, would pull himself along the ground, upside down underneath the pea-vine supports, and pluck the first tiny pea pods right off the vine.  He had equally arcane methods for harvesting the first asparagus shoots, parsley, blueberries, mint, garlic and baby carrots. Moses ate a fairly clean diet but would occasionally need to visit the garden.\r\n\r\nFor example, in early spring, dogs like Moses, may be attracted to the first shoots of common quack grass (<i>Elytrigia repens</i>). Each blade of this “dog grass” contains silicon for strong joints and connective tissues, essential fatty acids for clear skin and shiny coat, enzymes for digestion, chlorophyll for antioxidant support and soap-like saponin constituents that combine with the stringy fibers to help cleanse the digestive tract and keep parasites at bay. After a season of low grade kibble, a dog may feel his system needs a boost.\r\n\r\nLikewise, dogs will occasionally chew on berries, bark, pods, seeds or leaves that contain healing properties. The red or purple fruits of raspberry, rose bushes and hawthorn all contain flavonoid constituents that are good for the cardiovascular system.\r\n\r\nThe oils contained in the raw seeds of flax, currants, wheat, pumpkins and squash may be relished for an extra measure of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that are needed for skin and coat health.  Pumpkin seeds are also a natural and gentle vermifuge — expels intestinal parasites.\r\n\r\nEven certain kinds of algae (“pond scum”) contain a cornucopia of nutrients and disease-fighting chemicals that wild dogs may seek in time of need. But how do we provide these things for our “suburban wolves”?  When do they need these things and in what amount?\r\n\r\nBy serving a daily helping of nutritive herbs and “green food” at mealtime your dog will be provided added measure of nutritional or systemic support. Good “greens” are flaxseed, spirulina, garlic, dandelion root, kelp, alfalfa and nettle.\r\n\r\nBefore you “go for the green” on behalf of your Best Friend and head to the store for supplements, it is important to realize that green food supplements only serve to round out a good diet. They cannot be expected to replace nutritional elements that are missing from poor quality, bargain basement, supermarket kibble.\r\n\r\nBut, if you’re a do-it-yourself type and are conscientious about what goes into your dog, adding a commercial green supplement or a combo-mix of the beneficial herbs or even providing your Best Friend with his own tray of barley or wheat grass can only increase his energy, shine up his coat, float some anti-cancer antioxidants in his system, reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis and tidy up his digestion.\r\n<div></div>', 'Eating green', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'eating-green', '', '', '2014-08-21 07:42:23', '2014-08-21 11:42:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18308', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18313, 4, '2014-08-21 08:38:06', '2014-08-21 12:38:06', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThis week and next week we’re going to have to talk long distance because I am currently in Italy. The trip has made it much easier to choose our featured wines — if in Italy, think Italian.\r\n\r\nActually, this week’s wine is from California, but it is made by a family winery with an Italian heritage, and uses Italian grape varieties.\r\n\r\nThe winery is Ferrari-Carano, from Sonoma County. Don and his wife, Rhonda, Carano founded their winery in 1979 with an old farmhouse, a barn, and 30 acres planted with vines. In 1985, they released their first wine, a Pinot Noir. They continued to acquire more and more vineyards, over the years, and today they own more than 19 estate vineyards in five different appellations.  Good vineyards produce good grapes. Good grapes make good wines. (Duh!)  And, the Carano’s know what they have. As they have grown and expanded their holdings, they have also expanded the variety of wines they make. Enough variety so that they have put them into categories. Our wine is in their “Italian style” category. See, there is a connection.\r\n\r\nOur wine is a white wine, a unique blend of many different varieties that is fragrant and light and refreshing.  Because some of the grapes in this blend are new for us, I thought we could go through the list and learn a bit about each one. Here’s the whole list: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat Canelli, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc (Bianco in Italian), Viognier, Semillon, Muscat Giallo, Riesling, Fiano Di Avellino and Pinot Grigio. But we can skip the grapes that we already know and focus on the new, unfamilar varieties.\r\n\r\nThe first new grape is <b>Muscat Canelli. </b>Actually, this is one of the Muscat family of grapes that includes over 200 grapes — many of them not closely related to each other. When we look at this family, the colors of Muscat grapes range from white/green skinned (Muscat Ottonel) to yellow (Moscato Giallo) to pink (Moscato rosa del Trentino) to almost black (Muscat Hamburg). Despite the particular skin color, all Muscat grapes, and all their wines, have a definite sweet floral aroma. The huge number of different Muscat grapes does suggest that it may be the oldest of all domesticated varieties. There are even theories that most other “vitis vinifera” grapes descended from Muscat. Some say that Muscat grapes date back to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, about 3,000 to 1,000 BC. Others claim Muscat only goes as far back as the ancient Greeks, 800 BC to 600 AD. (Truly a big difference between the two time periods, but let’s face it, they’re both ancient ancient.)\r\n\r\nThe name “Muscat” has never been definitively explained. The most common theory is that it came from the Persian word “muchk.” Or the Greek “moskos,”  or the Latin “muscus,” or the French “musc.” The Italian word for fly, “mosca,” is another possibility and my favorite version of the source of the grape name. Because these grapes all have aromas on the sweet side and flies are attracted to sweet things, fruit flies included, the grape name is tied to the attracted flies!\r\n\r\nOne last tidbit: In spite of the diversity in the Muscat family, a common trait in all of them is a floral, grapey aroma. This comes from a high concentration of monoterpenes; more than 40 different monoterpenes. This same compound is also in Rieslings and Gewurztraminers.\r\n\r\nBack to our Muscat Canelli. In fact, this is the Muscat that makes Asti Spumante in Italy, which means we have heard of it even if we haven’t drunk any lately. Muscat Canelli is also known by several other names. Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains (white Muscat with small berries) is a fancy French name for it. Easier and more familiar is the name Moscato. Genetically, Muscat Canelli is related to a few of the 200 other Muscats. The Muscat Canelli name is most often used on the West Coast of the United States. Even though most of the wines we may be familiar with that are made from Muscat Canelli, or Moscato, tend to be sweet, often low in alcohol, and full of grapey flavors wrapped in a musky sweetness, this variety can just as easily make dry wines. With a bit more of its sugar fermented into alcohol, the musky grapiness remains, but not the sugar. Some wineries in California challenge their visitors to expand their views and tasting experiences, sort of like we do every week.\r\n\r\n<b>Muscat Giallo</b>, the second Muscat in our blend this week, is the yellow Muscat, meaning its skin is more golden colored than the Muscat Canelli. This variety grows mostly in northern Italy where it is used to make dessert wines. The wines made from Muscat Giallo tend to be deeper shades of yellow with moderate acidity. In a blend, it can add not only color but an intensity to the whole of the flavors.\r\n\r\nOur last —  and before now unheard of — grape is <b>Fiano</b>. Fiano is a white Italian variety grown mostly in Campania in southern Italy and in Sicily. It even has a DOCG wine (since 2003) that it makes in Campania. Wines from Fiano are intensely flavored and very aromatic. In blends, Fiano adds weight and body to its wines, a fuller texture and floral and honey notes with hints of spiciness.\r\n\r\nThe key to a good blend is mastering the right grapes in the right quantities. They support and balance each other that way, and the finished wine is good no matter what the pieces and parts may be.\r\n\r\nI suspect, with most of us hanging on to dry wines as the only acceptable ones, that some of the grapes in our Ferrari-Carano blended wine have made us wince, or worse. But, having faith is a good thing. And we have to shine a light onto this new wine — Ferrari-Carano Bella Luce (which means “beautiful light” in Italian). This is a lighter style wine that is fragrant and refreshingly crisp, meaning dry, not sweet.\r\n\r\nEach of the varieties used in Bella Luce is grown separately, then harvested and fermented separately. Each set of grapes is gently pressed into stainless steel tanks where they must rest for 48 hours. Each is then racked into other stainless steel tanks for  a cold fermentation. There is no malolactic fermentation, so all the fresh, crisp acidity is maintained. The wine’s acidities keep all the flavors especially bright. Only now, with each wine made, are they tasted individually and then, finally, blended. Bella Luce’s flavors are Muscat, honeydew, orange, melons, peaches, pineapples, apples, cream and lemon. Cream and lemon and vanilla come in on the lingering finish.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, this wine is a nice surprise. As an apéritif, with cheeses, light salads, shellfish, appetizers, pastas with light sauces (penne with salmon in a cream sauce), sushi, spring rolls, curries — the Bella Luce is really versatile when it comes to being paired with food. So, accept the challenge, get past the old notion of Muscat, try Bella Luce, and let the light shine on you.\r\n\r\nAvailable for $13.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

But Abby’s family moved to Columbia when she was 6 and it wasn’t until 15 years later that fate brought her back to Beaufort where she and Patrick met, fell in love and were married. Their adorable son Parker started at Beaufort Academy this week as the “Littlest Eagle” in the school’s Pre-K 2-year-old class.\r\n\r\nAbby’s parents were both educators. Her mom taught at Beaufort High where her dad was also a coach. They continued teaching after their move to Columbia to help Abby’s aging grandmother.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18373\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile-Mitchell-family-8-21.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18373\" alt=\"The Mitchell Family, from left: Parker, Abby and Patrick.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Profile-Mitchell-family-8-21-300x236.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" /></a> The Mitchell Family, from left: Parker, Abby and Patrick.[/caption]\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, back in Beaufort, Patrick — the son of Red and Marjorie Mitchell — was growing up.  Marjorie ran the popular House and Garden Gift shop on Lady’s Island along with her mother-in-law for years. Red Mitchell was president of Mitchell Brothers, Inc., a company he ran along with his brothers and cousins. Patrick joined the firm after getting a degree in Business Management from Presbyterian College. Today, Patrick, his brother Cecil and cousin Jason Hincher represent the third generation to run the company.\r\n\r\nAbby got a degree in Early Childhood Education at Clemson and found her first  teaching job back in her beloved Beaufort at Coosa Elementary where her fun spirit made her a popular teacher.\r\n\r\nSays Abby, “I met Patrick my second year of teaching here — the rest is history!” Adding, “When Patrick asked me to marry him, he was so nervous and random with his speech, I thought he was breaking up with me.”\r\n\r\nThey just happily celebrated their sixth anniversary together.  Says Abby with a smile, “For our anniversary I gave a nod to the traditional gift of iron and had Patrick’s old golf clubs cut down to toddler size and regripped for Parker. So in actuality, I gave him a gift that wasn’t really for him — and yet he still loves me!”\r\n\r\nAbby spent 10 years teaching multiple grades kindergarten through third at Coosa Elementary, where she was named Teacher of the Year in 2012-13. She now teaches at Beaufort Academy, and started the new school year with her son this past Monday.  “Patrick and I were sort of in a race to see who would get to Instagram Parker’s first day of school picture first. I, of course, won as I took the pictures and held them hostage until I had time to post them. I guess that shows how obsessed we are with our son,” says Abby with a laugh.\r\n\r\nAbout her philosophy of teaching, Abby says, “Basically, I want my students to love coming to school each day and have plenty of fun while learning at the same time. I only have them for a year and I want to teach them as much as I possibly can in that short amount of time.”\r\n\r\nShe adds, “The staff and students at BA are just great! It’s because of them I enjoy every second of what I do.”\r\n\r\nPatrick also pitches in by deep-frying turkeys for Abby’s class every year for her Thanksgiving Feast.\r\n\r\nMitchell Brothers, Inc. is an award-winning government contracting company that has successfully completed hundreds of projects for multiple military installations in Beaufort and the surrounding areas along with hospitals, churches and forestations.  The business was started in 1946 by Patrick’s grandfather and his three brothers who had recently moved to the small, barely developed (at that time) coastal town of Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\nSays Patrick, “I enjoy working with my brother and cousins as part of a family business that has had a 69 year history of doing things the correct way. The second generation before us worked very hard to build Mitchell Bros. up to where it is today, and put us into a successful position. I credit our great team of hard-working employees to that legacy.”\r\n\r\nHe also credits the company’s clients. “I had a smart man once tell me that in the construction business, no matter how good you are, often your success is based on the success of the clients you work for,” says Patrick. “Mitchell Brothers has been very lucky to serve many great clients throughout our history and we could not be successful without them. The United States Navy, Beaufort County School District, Beaufort County, Bluffton Fire District, Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, and Grayco Inc. are some of the clients we continue to enjoy working with to this day.”\r\n\r\nAs far as sports, Patrick has always been an avid golfer. Abby says her main “sport” now is strolling Parker over the bridge on weekends to visit the coffee or bagel shop.\r\n\r\nThe two are also active in the community. Patrick has served on the boards of the Beaufort County Storm Water Utility, the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club, and the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee. Both he and Abby have been big supporters of Friends of Caroline Hospice’s Festival of Trees fundraiser for the past eight years where Abby has won several times for her innovative and clever tree designs.\r\n\r\nAs for the future, the Mitchells say they look forward to “introducing baby Parker to all the natural beauty that is Beaufort and all the great people here!”', 'Meet the Mitchells: Abby and Patrick, and Parker makes three', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'meet-the-mitchells-abby-and-patrick-and-parker-makes-three', '', '', '2014-08-21 14:07:58', '2014-08-21 18:07:58', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18323', 0, 'post', '', 0),

And that those students came from households spanning a wide range of household incomes? During that same time period, the average amount of aid for a full-time college or university student was $13,730, including $7,190 in grants (that don’t have to be repaid) and $4,900 in federal loans, according to Trends in Student Aid 2013, collegeboard.org.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_18326\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/whitneybw.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-18326\" alt=\"Whitney McDaniel\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/whitneybw-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Whitney McDaniel[/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you realize how many resources may be available to your student and begin your research on financial assistance, you may be on your way toward easing some of the anxiety often associated with paying for higher education.\r\n\r\n<b>5 lessons on seeking financial help for your student’s tuition</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Start planning for aid during your student’s high school years.</b> Pay particular attention to your child’s junior year of high school, and reposition assets or adjust income before that year begins. When financial aid officers review a family’s need, they analyze the family’s income in the calendar year that begins in January of the student’s junior year of high school.\r\n\r\n<b>Assume you are eligible for aid until you’re told otherwise. </b>There are no specific guidelines and no rules of thumb that can accurately predict the aid you and your student may be offered. Because each family’s circumstances are different, you’ll want to keep an open mind as you consider various financial-aid alternatives. A number of factors — such as having several children in school at the same time — could increase your eligibility.\r\n\r\n<b>Reassess assets held by your children. </b>Federal institutions expect children to contribute 20% of their savings toward their education’s costs, while parents are expected to contribute up to 5.64% of their savings, according to fafsa.gov. That’s why assets held in custodial accounts may reduce the aid for which the family qualifies. Assets held in Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and 529 plans will be factored into the parent’s formula, having less effect on the aid for which the family qualifies.\r\n\r\n<b>Steer grandparents’ gifts in the right direction.</b> Grandparents’ hearts often lead them toward gifting directly to grandchildren or paying the student’s tuition expenses. Even though payments made directly to the institution avoid gift taxes, institutions generally count these payments as an additional resource the family has to pay for college expenses.  Distributions from grandparent-owned 529 plans are also considered as additional resources and assessed as student’s income — which reduces the amount of eligible aid. A better idea for grandparents may be to consider gifting to a 529 plan owned by the parent or student. The financial aid treatment of gifts to a 529 plan is generally more favorable than that for gifts made directly to the student, and grandparents may realize estate-tax and gifting benefits by using this alternative.\r\n\r\n<b>Assess your family’s financial situation to determine the amount of funding your student will need.</b> Gather records and begin researching available financial aid, grants, loans and scholarships. Two forms will be key to your aid application process: the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service Financial Aid Profile (PROFILE). The FAFSA form helps you apply for federal aid, and many states also use it to determine a resident student’s eligibility for state aid. You can find this form in high school guidance offices and college financial aid offices or online at fafsa.ed.gov.\r\n\r\nPlease consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing in a 529 savings plan. The official statement, which contains this and other information, can be obtained by calling your financial advisor.

Additionally, John and Edward Rutledge signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. My paternal grandfather, Y.T. Abernathy, served as a Marine in World War II and was trained at Parris Island, the very island we overlook off our deep-water dock now.”\r\n\r\nThis Napa Valley couple shares a passion for wine and sustainable living principles, both of which inspired the designer home and Mondavi Home Collection, a growing assortment of authentic home essentials that debuted in January 2014, with innovative reserve barrel flooring made from a selection of refurbished Mondavi wine barrels. A true labor of love, Rob and Lydia partnered with acclaimed designers and manufacturers to bring their Southern story to life through their distinct personal style and regional inspirations.\r\n\r\nPart of embracing the Lowcountry’s relaxed lifestyle, according to Lydia, is creating livable outdoor space to enjoy the region’s sights and sounds, and Trex Company Inc.’s quality decking allows the whole family, including Rob and Lydia’s 3-year-old son, Robert Mondavi III, to enjoy its natural beauty.\r\n\r\nHonoring the essence of the picturesque coast, the entire home is tied together by the coastal-inspired color scheme and décor. Thoughtfully curated by Lydia’s mother, interior decorator Anita Wilbanks, the home’s 22 color palette by Benjamin Moore represents the varying hue of ocean tides with each room’s color ebbing and flowing from dark to light. Additional decorative elements throughout the home include lighting by Circa Lighting and furnishings by M Interiors.\r\n\r\nThe family is excited to divide their time between Napa, Ca., and Beaufort and to give their son an opportunity to explore the coastal life the region offers.

(18332, 4, '2014-08-21 09:03:11', '2014-08-21 13:03:11', '<b>By Jennifer Wallace, DMD</b>\r\n\r\nCongrats on the soon-to-be new addition to your family. There will be a lot of changes to plan for in the next few months. Let’s see, there’s a name to pick, a nursery to get ready, diapers/blankets/clothes to buy — but don’t forget to also plan to take care of Momma during exciting this time.\r\n\r\nThe old wives tale that warns a woman to expect a lost tooth for every baby is false. If the mother’s intake of calcium is inadequate during pregnancy, her bones — not her teeth — will provide the calcium her growing baby needs. This calcium loss is quickly made up after breastfeeding stops. However, the demands of pregnancy can lead to particular dental problems in some women.\r\n\r\nBen Franklin said “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that certainly applies to this subject. You are less likely to have dental problems during pregnancy if you already have good oral hygiene habits like flossing, brushing with fluoridated toothpastes, eating a healthy non-sugary diet and visiting your dentist regularly. Pregnancy can lead to dental problems in some women, including gum disease and increased risk of tooth decay from cravings of sugary foods, vomiting from morning sickness and gagging when brushing.\r\n\r\nDuring pregnancy, your increased hormones can affect your body’s response to plaque (the layer of germs on your teeth). During pregnancy, about half of all women (60 to 70 percent) experience a condition called pregnancy gingivitis. Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that is caused when plaque accumulates in the spaces between the gums and the teeth. The accumulation of bacteria can lead to the loss of bone around the teeth and can eventually lead to tooth decay and tooth loss. Pregnancy Gingivitis is caused by an increase in hormone levels, which can exaggerate a woman’s response to dental plaque in the mouth. This extra plaque may cause swelling, bleeding, redness and/or tenderness in the gums. Changes in the gums are most noticeable from the second month of pregnancy, reaching a maximum in the eighth month.\r\n\r\nIn women with severe morning sickness, frequent vomiting can erode the enamel on the back of the front teeth. If you are vomiting frequently, contact your dental office for information on how to prevent enamel erosion. It is important not to brush right away after you vomit, since the stomach acid in your mouth will only help erode the teeth as you brush. Wait about an hour before brushing your teeth after vomiting. While the teeth are covered in stomach acids, the vigorous action of the toothbrush may scratch the tooth enamel. DO rinse right away with water, or a fluoridated mouth wash.\r\n\r\nResearch has found a link between gum disease in pregnant women and premature birth with low birth weight. Babies who are born prematurely may risk a range of health conditions including cerebral palsy and problems with eyesight and hearing. Estimates suggest that about 18 out of every 100 premature births may be triggered by periodontal disease, which is a chronic infection of the gums. Appropriate dental treatment for the expectant mother can reduce the risk of premature birth by more than 80 percent, according to one study.\r\n\r\nAnother old wives tale is that an expectant mother shouldn’t visit the dentist until after birth. Of course, the best approach to dental care is to see your dentist before you get pregnant for an exam and cleaning. During your pregnancy, the second trimester is the best time to receive routine dental care. During the last trimester, it may become uncomfortable for you and baby to sit or lay for longer dental appointments.\r\n\r\nPregnancy does not automatically damage your teeth. With proper hygiene at home and professional help from your dentist, your teeth should remain healthy throughout pregnancy. So be sure to share the good news with your dentist ASAP to prevent and prepare for a happy, healthy momma and baby.\r\n\r\n<i>Jennifer Wallace, DMD, practices on Lady’s Island at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort, 843-524-7645.</i>', 'Understanding pregnancy and your dental health', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'understanding-pregnancy-and-your-dental-health', '', '', '2014-08-21 09:03:11', '2014-08-21 13:03:11', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18332', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We take naps!).\r\n\r\nHe mentioned his physical and emotional release and the beauty that was revealed within him. Images of the people who love him for who he is began popping into his head, as if a wonderful signal from God that he would be OK.  Indeed, he is loved.\r\n\r\nThink about that: Don’t we find ourselves hiding our true self to impress another? How often do we lose our self because we feel we know what it is this other person wants? Why? Why do we do this?\r\n\r\nTeens — listen up! (Yup, that’s right, read for a moment from this thing called a newspaper, or look online, but check this out.)\r\n\r\nThis is for you, as my 30-year-old self can hear me sounds like “that old chic,” here it goes: <b><i>If I knew when I was 17 what I know now... </i></b>Honestly, I’d probably not listen to myself and carry on my fumbling ways, but oh, IF I listened, I would have avoided a lot of hardship and heartbreak, especially during my 20s.\r\n\r\nWhen we let our true self hide in the attempt to please, woo, win, or gain another person, we are only losing our Self. Then we end up in these relationships that seem meaningful in the beginning, but turn out to be fraudulent. (My hope is that it is witnessed before years of torment — mine happened to last four years.)\r\n\r\nThe most amazing thing you can do for another person (and for you) is be YOU.  That’s right, you, just as you are — latte in one hand, iPhone in the other.\r\n\r\nLaugh, cry, banter, rejoice, play, whatever you do that makes your heart sing, DO IT. You will then attract the people in your life that you need. Trust me, they are waaaaaay better than the ones you <i>think</i> you want.\r\n\r\nThese people will lift you up, they will emphasize your freakin’ awesomeness that already exists, they will encourage you and challenge you and you will love it.\r\n\r\nLet the pettiness take a back seat in your mama’s van and bring out your true fantastic self!  Your shining, shimmering light will guide those you need straight into your life. Besides, you never know, the one person you thought you needed may change and show back up in a way you never imagined.\r\n\r\nLife is fantastic and I prefer mine raw.
