(19696, 4, '2014-11-06 07:10:25', '2014-11-06 12:10:25', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nPerhaps this scene has happened at your house: TinyDog, 7 pounds of orange fluff, grabs the meaty bone and drags it under the coffee table. BigDog, 75 pounds of mixed-breed approaches, eyeing the bone with intent. TinyDog lets out a dangerous growl much more ferocious than thought possible from something the size of a bedroom slipper. BigDog backs off and you chuckle at the little drama. We in the animal communication world refer to this behavior as “resource guarding”.\r\n\r\nA dog that defends his food or a treat from other dogs is exhibiting completely normal and appropriate canine behavior.  In the wild, where food equals life, the dog who gives up his food is a goner.  Dogs usual subscribe to the “possession is nine-tenths of the law” philosophy, so it’s generally not worth the risk of injury to argue over a scrap of food or a bone.  It all works out in the end, pack-wise.\r\n\r\nWhile resource guarding is acceptable and understood behavior, dog-to-dog, it is far less acceptable when it’s directed at us.  For our own safety we want dogs to understand that everything they have is really ours.  I call it the “I have thumbs (and you don’t)” principle.  But dogs are confused by our ignorance of the “nine-tenths” rule. Nice guys that they are, they’ll accede possession to their owners without fuss, most of the time. But, every now and again, our Best Friend may aggressively assert ownership rights to a precious toy, a tasty treat or a bowl of food.  Then we have a problem.\r\n\r\nGeneralized food guarding is the most common manifestation and often the most dangerous as it’s almost impossible to control the presence of food in a dog’s environment. No matter how diligent you are, your dog will find the half-cookie between the couch cushions, the desiccated chicken bone on the street or the kitty deposit under the shrubbery. We’ve all yelled, “drop it! dropitdropitdropit!” while the dog clamps down even tighter, plants his feet and shoots you The Look. When this happens it’s obvious he is not comfortable with you in his “space”.\r\n\r\nHere are some levels of guarding behavior to watch for:\r\n\r\n<b>Level One:</b> Ideally when you approach your dog’s bowl, he’ll stop eating, wag a bit and lean in to greet you.  He’s letting you know he does not perceive you as a threat to his dinner, or if he does, he doesn’t care. He’d be happy to share.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Two:</b> A slightly less perfect reaction to the same scenario is that Dog looks at you, wags, and continues to eat.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Three:</b> If Dog is a little uncomfortable about your distance from his food, he’ll tense his body. He may still wag. Watch the speed of the wag, though. If the speed of the wag increases as you get closer, paired with the tension in his body, he is communicating your presence is making him uncomfortable.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Four:</b> As his discomfort escalates, so does his body language and behavior.  At this level you’ll see a glare (The Look) or the whale eye, perhaps a bit of a snarl, or a low growl. He’ll start eating faster to prevent you from getting any of his food.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Five: </b> If the food is portable, he’ll carry it away from you — under a table, into his crate — and growl at you from there.  If he can’t pick it up, he may nudge it away from you if you continue to approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Six:</b> A serious food-guarder is liable to put some teeth into play at this point. A snap is the next step. No contact with flesh, but a blatant message of “don’t touch my stuff!”.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Seven: </b>Here’s where the threat to your safety, or the safety of a passing child, becomes deadly serious. This may be the actual break-the-skin bite. Contact is hard and fast and pretty scary. It may also consist of a series of bites up the transgressor’s arm.  In kennel, I learned this lesson the absolute hardest way when I attempted to remove a wastebasket full of old dog food from the attentions of a determined, (intact, I might add), Tervuren. There is absolutely no warning and, man, does it hurt.\r\n\r\n<b>Level Eight:</b> Severe food guarding can be triggered at a distance. At this level, even a person’s presence on the other side of the room can escalate very quickly.\r\n\r\nRehabilitating a guarder can take a huge commitment of time, resources and emotion. I applaud responsible dog owners who are willing to make the commitment required and I cheer when I receive reports from those who have been successful in getting their dogs to share.\r\n<div></div>', 'Thanks for sharing', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'thanks-for-sharing', '', '', '2014-11-06 07:10:25', '2014-11-06 12:10:25', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19696', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It began with my cellphone carrier and its Directory Assistance texts.  These texts  gave me not only the telephone number, but the business name, the address and map directions to get to the business.\r\n\r\nAlong with these texts came a new phrase for me. “Data chgs apply” which meant that I better check out my phone bill  because “chgs” meant charges.\r\n\r\nOnce I got started, the whole process snowballed and I had to learn the language. The first lesson was from my daughter: “Where R U?” Easy enough, but my fingers typing on the phone came out, 200 miles away, instead of 20 miles and she wasn’t home when I got there.  When I texted, “Where R U?” she didn’t respond because she had gone to the movies. So much for communication.  I had to learn some basic rules.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule One:</b> Make sure that you correct all your mistakes before you hit send.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule Two: </b>Make sure you know the basic text words like LOL. My girlfriend thought it meant “Lots Of Love” and wondered why I would respond to some of her texts with LOL.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule Three:</b> Auto-correct is Not your friend. This program changes the simplest words or phrases into something obscene.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule Four: </b>Make sure you know to whom you are sending the text. A particular erotic email to a spouse can be misinterpreted if it goes to your business partner or client.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule Five: </b>Watch out for younger family members. They send “Group Messages” which can really get you in trouble when you mean to send a text to just one person.\r\n\r\n<b>Rule Six:</b> Go to one of the senior pages on the Internet and learn some new text abbreviations. My favorite response to “Where R U?” is “OMMR”  On My Massage Recliner. I laughed because some of the “senior texts”  are really imaginative.\r\n\r\nAnd for those that are having hearing issues or don’t want to shout into the other room, this new shorthand is ideal.   My husband and I have started to text each other when we are in the same house, like right now.  “Boatng?”  “10-4” Time to go.\r\n<div></div>', 'The new shorthand', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-new-shorthand', '', '', '2014-11-06 07:13:42', '2014-11-06 12:13:42', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19701', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(19703, 4, '2014-11-06 07:15:06', '2014-11-06 12:15:06', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\n“Forgive me for I have Zinned.” This clever phrase shows up on T-shirts and other souvenirs sold where Zinfandel wines are made. For us, it just means we are going to learn about a new red Zinfandel because red Zins can be a great choice for Thanksgiving and other holiday dinners. Thanksgiving is particularly well suited to these wines because they are a uniquely American wine, maybe, just like Thanksgiving is our unique holiday.\r\n\r\nZinfandel is a red variety that is planted in about 10 percent of California vineyards. It is used to make two different types of wine — a robust red and a sweet-ish style blush (pink) wine. It can be hard to believe that one grape does both. The exact flavors and textures, and even alcohol level, of any particular Zinfandel wine, red ones only here, depends a lot on where the grapes are grown. From cooler areas, they show more red fruit flavors. From warmer climates, the wines so more black fruit flavors and spicyness.\r\n\r\nThe history of Zinfandel has been a difficult to pinpoint where it came from and when it developed. And, it seems to have several names. There is archaeological evidence that “vitis vinifera” vines existed in 6,000 BC in the Caucasus region, an area between Europe and Asia, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. From here, vine growing spread to the Mediterranean and Europe, and winemaking, which obviously follows vine growing, too. Croatia is thought to have had indigenous grapes, for longer than anywhere else, several of them related somehow to our current Zinfandel. All of these old varieties were wiped out by phylloxera in the second half of the 19th century. What was left were nine vines, discovered in 2001, on the Dalmatian coast, one of the “parents” for Zinfandel as we know it today.\r\n\r\n“Primitivo” is another name closely tied to Zinfandel. This is an Italian name that first appeared in an Italian publication in the 1870’s. Because the “Primitvo” name showed up for the first time 40 years after the “Zinfandel” name was first used, it was thought for a while that Primitivo came to Italy from United States vineyards. Finding the nine vines in Croatia, though, meant adjusting this theory. Now it is thought that Primitvo was introduced into Italy in the 18th century. The name “Primativo” is related to the Italian words for early or first. The variety ripens early.\r\n\r\nZinfandel’s journey to the United States, and California in particular, was long and circuitous. The Imperial Nursery in Vienna, Austria, probably got their hands on some vines from Croatia when the Habsburg Monarchy ruled over Croatia. A Long Island, N.Y., horticulturist, George Gibbs, received shipments of grape vines from Schönbrunn and other European sources, between 1820 and 1829. “Black Zinfandel of Hungary” may have been one of the grapes that went to Long Island. Possibly, the name “Zinfandel” at this time was derived from the word “tzinifándli,” a Hungarian name for another grape. Anyhow, in 1830, Gibbs traveled to Boston and soon Samuel Perkins of Boston was selling “zendendal.”  A similar variety, Black St. Peters, was also supplied by Gibbs, but it was said to have come from England where many vines had “St. Peters” in their names. The Black St. Peters arrived in California in the 1850’s, and was called Zinfandel in the 1870’s.\r\n\r\nThe California Gold Rush, in the 1850’s, brought many people from across the country. The first California Zinfandel wine may have been made by Joseph W. Osborne. He had planted grapes in Napa in his Oak Knoll vineyard. In 1857, Osborne’s Zinfandel wine was highly praised and plantings of the grape spread rapidly. At the end of the 19th century, it was the most planted variety in California. It is some of these vines, that weren’t torn out during Prohibition, that are now making highly valued Old Vine Zinfandel wines.\r\n\r\nAfter Prohibition, and the Depression, the California wine industry was extremely weak. Zinfandel became obscure, used, if at all, for fortified wines. It wasn’t until the middle of the 20th century that reports of a “fascinating California grape” started to circulate. Zinfandel was described as “California’s own red grape.” But, science reared its head and in 1967, a University of California at Davis professor, Austin Goheen, visited Italy and noticed how closely Primitivo wines resembled Zinfandel wines. In 1968, Primitivo was brought to California, and the two grapes were declared identical in 1972. In 1975, a PhD student, Wade Wolfe, showed that the two varieties had identical isozyme fingerprints. In 1976, it was suggested to Goheen that Primitivo was the Croatian variety “Plavic Mali.” By 1982, Goheen had proven they were similar but not identical. Some Croatians, though, still wanted to believe that Plavic Mali was the same as Zinfandel. In 1991, some Croatian-born California winemakers, including Mike Grgich, formed ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) to promote Zinfandel wines and to fund scientific research on it.\r\n\r\nProfessor Carole Meredith went to Croatia and collected 150 samples of Plavic Mali. In 1993, Meredith used DNA fingerprinting to confirm Primtivo and Zinfandel were clones of the same variety. By 1998, Meredith had established that Primitivo/Zinfandel was actually one of the parents of Plavic Mali. Finally, in 2001, when the nine vines were found, and tests were run, it was found that Crljenak Kaštelanski is Primitivo/Zinfandel in its original home.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets us to the questions “what’s in our bottles and what’s on their labels?”  Naturally, laws are not as quick to change as they might be. As of 1999, the European Union has recognized Zinfandel as a synonym for Primitivo. Italian Primitivos can be labeled Zinfandel for sale in the United States or any other country that accepts EU label laws, including the U.S.  In 2007, our Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau listed both Zinfandel and Primitivo as approved grapes for American wines. But, not that they are synonyms. In 2002, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms proposed that the two names be recognized as synonyms.\r\n\r\nOur wine this week is Kenwood Jack London Zinfandel from Sonoma Mountain. Kenwood Vineyards was established in 1970 on the site of the Pagani Brothers Winery that dated back to 1906. Kenwood owns almost 25 acres plus sources grapes from many other growers, most of them sustainably grown or organically grown. They do make several levels of wines, the Jack London being particularly good. These grapes come from the Sonoma Mountain AVA, which has red volcanic soil that makes for exceptionally fruity wines. This wine has raspberry and fig flavors and vanilla and white pepper notes. Good tannins, but smooth and elegant in your mouth and a long, lovely, lingering finish. It is aged 19 months in French and American oak barrels and is 94 percent Zinfandel with 6 percent Syrah.\r\n\r\nWhy is Jack London’s name attached to this wine?

Native Welshman Brother Cadfael is sent on the expedition to translate and finds the rustic villagers of Gwytherin passionately divided by the Benedictine’s offer for the saint’s relics. Canny, wise, and all too wordly, he isn’t surprised when this taste for bones leads to bloody murder. The leading opponent to moving the grave has been shot dead with a mysterious arrow, and some say Winifred herself held the bow. Brother Cadfael knows a carnal hand did the killing. But he doesn’t know that his plan to unearth a murderer may dig up a case of love and justice...where the wages of sin may be scandal or Cadfael’s own ruin.

The author will be holding a “Stories and Sweets” event at McIntosh Book Shoppe from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8.\r\n\r\n“Save My Place” is the story of Elisabeth’s meeting and marrying her beloved Kincaid, and the evolution of their married life even as difficulties arise. Elisabeth’s jaunty voice lifts us, along with herself and Kincaid, through seemingly unbearable situations. Upon meeting her, Kincaid exclaims, “You strike me as a very entertaining person.” Indeed, Elisabeth’s ability to find humor and joy amid sorrows, such as Kincaid’s deployment to fight in the Vietnam War, enlightens us about a powerful source of resiliency.\r\n\r\nStill, Elisabeth is a realist. Though she wishes to abide in Peter Pan’s Neverland existence, and has a “magic door inside ... that kept all the ills of the world at bay,” the door comes ajar. When their child is diagnosed with leukemia, Elizabeth’s indomitable spirit eventually allows her to engage in life and assist her husband in doing the same.\r\n\r\nOlivia DeBelle Byrd has created an admiral character for readers to appreciate in “Save My Place.” Her first book of personal essays, “Miss Hilbreth Wore Brown,” was the Silver Medal winner of  the 2011 Florida Publishers Association President’s Book Awards.\r\n\r\nMcIntosh Book Shoppe is located on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort.

(19730, 4, '2014-11-06 08:41:34', '2014-11-06 13:41:34', 'The Red Piano Too Art Gallery’s Annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit featuring Mississippi artist Eric Jones in an exhibit titled “Urban Sophistication” will open with a Meet the Artist Reception on November 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will continue for the month of November. Eric will be in the gallery on Saturday, November 8 as well.\r\n\r\nEric Lamar Jones was born July 6, 1977 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he currently resides. During his thirty-something years, however, he lived in Atlanta, New York, Washington, DC, and New Orleans.  He has worked as a carpenter, studio assistant, maintenance man and insurance agent. His journey as an artist began at his brother’s art gallery in Atlanta. That experience made the idea of being an artist realistic and sustainable.\r\n\r\nDescribing himself as a self-taught artist but also a protégé of his late brother and mentor, William Tolliver, Eric attended the William Tolliver School of Fine Arts and worked as a studio assistant for Tolliver over a period of several years.  As he has aged, his passion for art has continued unchecked. He has obtained more knowledge and skill in the arts with every passing year.\r\n\r\nThe subject matter of Eric’s oil on canvas and pastel/acrylic works on paper are African American figures involved in the activities of daily life: working, loving, playing, music, and just living.  Stylized, sometimes cubist, freestyle, the way they embody the emotion of the activity evokes the iconic or mythic.  Eric embodies a futuristic and contemporary style to his artwork.\r\n\r\nEric’s works are strikingly reminiscent of that of his late brother, the highly accomplished artist William Tolliver. Red Piano Too Gallery owner Mary Mack says of the brothers, “I first met William Tolliver many years ago in the New Orleans, La., Gallery Royale and immediately knew I had to own one of his works — what a surprise to come across the works of his brother Eric Jones in 2010.  I was struck by their stylistic similarity — especially the beautiful abstract/cubist jazz musicians painted by both William and Eric.”\r\n\r\nThe Red Piano Too annual Penn Center Heritage Days exhibit is free and open to the public. The Meet the Artist opening reception is scheduled for Friday, November 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. The gallery is open  Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 4:30 p.m. The gallery is located at 870 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920.

The United States has only a skeleton crew of diplomats and military operatives still in the country. As Communist victory becomes inevitable and the U.S. readies to withdraw, some Americans begin to consider the certain imprisonment and possible death of their South Vietnamese allies, co-workers, and friends. Meanwhile, the prospect of an official evacuation of South Vietnamese becomes terminally delayed by Congressional gridlock and the inexplicably optimistic U.S. Ambassador. With the clock ticking and the city under fire, a number of heroic Americans take matters into their own hands, engaging in unsanctioned and often makeshift operations in a desperate effort to save as many South Vietnamese lives as possible.\r\n\r\nTickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students.

As a child, he would hang out with his father in the home darkroom watching his dad as he developed film and made prints.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_1154-copy.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19736\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_1154-copy-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1154 copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" /></a>Following in his father’s footsteps, David loves taking pictures and that love seems to run in the family. His sister and brother are both excellent photographers and even his youngest son seems to have inherited the trait, leading David to joke that perhaps this phenomenon is a result of his father’s exposure to darkroom chemicals.\r\n\r\nGrowing up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, David spent countless hours hiking, canoeing, hunting and fishing in the Zigzag Range of the Ouachita Mountains. Through these youthful adventures, he developed a deep appreciation and respect for the environment and wildlife.  As a result, David chose to pursue a career outdoors and received a degree in Wildlife Conservation from Louisiana Tech University.\r\n\r\nDavid and his wife, Leigh, moved to Beaufort in 1983 and immediately fell in love with the area. With the Lowcountry’s abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery providing endless inspiration, David’s interest in photography naturally gravitated towards his other passions: nature, wildlife and the outdoors. It was his mother’s love of hummingbirds however, that spurred his special interest in bird photography.  David can often be found exploring one of the many local wildlife management areas in search of his next great photographic opportunity.\r\n\r\nAlthough the darkroom has been replaced by a computer and film by a memory card, David still gets that same smile on his face developing a digital image as he did in the darkroom with his dad so many years ago.  Drawing from his experience with film, David’s approach to bird and wildlife photography is to capture the moment with the camera, not create it in the computer.  His patience,  perseverance and attention to detail is evident in his work and he gets great pleasure creating the perfect photograph that captures the art in nature.\r\n\r\nIn Beaufort, David’s work is shown exclusively at Thibault Gallery, voted best art gallery in Beaufort. David will be at the gallery November 7 for First Friday After Five to meet customers, and he would love to show his work to all who come to the gallery that night.   Stop by and see his “wild” works of art!\r\n\r\nAlso,  this month for the First Friday After Five is themed “A Night of Giving”.   Each business will be sponsoring a non-profit.

In previous years, more than 100 entries were submitted, 40 of which were accepted for consideration.\r\n\r\nThis year’s panel of judges consists of Lisa Victoria Ciresi, Ph.D., associate professor of the History of Art and coordinator of the annual competition. She is aided by fellow judges Brian Glaze, M.F.A., assistant professor of Art and coordinator of the Studio Art program at USCB; Christopher Maraffi, assistant professor of Media Arts and USCB’s newest hire for the program, and Eliot Joanna Angell, M.F.A., instructor.\r\n\r\nThe day’s events will begin at 10 a.m. when the young artists arrive on campus. For the next hour, they may tour the Sea Islands Center Gallery on Carteret Street, where many of their submitted artworks are on display, as well as the university’s facilities for the Studio Art program and the Center for the Arts, both located on USCB’s Beaufort campus.

It raises awareness of the university, of the Studio Art degree program, and the fact that we have a significant amount of scholarship funds to offer deserving students.”\r\n\r\nThe panel of judges will select the top three emerging artists. The first-place winner will receive a $3,000 scholarship; the second place winner will earn a $2,000 scholarship, and the third place winner will be eligible for a $1,000 scholarship.

(19784, 4, '2014-11-06 11:14:15', '2014-11-06 16:14:15', '<b>By Susan Stone</b>\r\n\r\nWell, November certainly came in with a blast! Brrrrrr! With 40 mile an hour winds and temperatures in the upper thirties, our beloved plants found it as much of a shock as we did. November marks the beginning of frosty nights and cooler days, a very welcome change after a hot summer for many of us. As shocking as it feels to us, just think of our plants unable to move out of the wind or protect themselves from the frost. They need our help!\r\n\r\nOver the years I have seen some pretty creative methods used to keep plants from freezing to death. The obvious is to move them some place warm, which is fine if you have the room and the sunlight to support them. But what if you don’t? Or what if they’re planted directly in the ground?\r\n\r\nHere are a few tips to help you save your favorites:\r\n\r\n• If you have a shed or outbuilding to store plants, a single incandescent bulb will generate enough heat to keep temperatures above freezing. Obviously, the larger the shed, the more lights. The more airtight, the better the heat stays in. Simply adding some plastic sheeting to walls and drafty windows will go a long way to insulate the building inexpensively.\r\n\r\n• Create a cold frame for your favorite smaller plants by making a plastic tent. There are many simple do it yourself ideas on line. Adding a brick or paver floor will absorb heat by day and keep the plants warm at night. You can also use an incandescent light, but please use fixtures that are rated for “outdoor use”, to avoid electric shock and tripping circuit breakers.\r\n\r\n• For the plants you cannot move, try the old-fashioned Christmas lights. It’s a good time of year to find them in the store. You want the large bulb string lights. They get good and warm! You can string them on the plant or simply lay them on the ground around the base of the plant, then cover with a bed sheet. I avoid using plastic for obvious reasons around anything warm.\r\n\r\n• Using sheets to protect your palms; The Sagos are especially sensitive to frost. I usually only cover the heart, or the center of the palm to protect next year’s growth. I have found that it doesn’t matter if you cover the whole plant once the temperatures get below freezing.\r\n\r\nLarge plants such as bananas and palms will rebound from most Southern winters. Last year was particularly cold and damage from freezing was wide spread, but once the “ugly” was pruned away, most of the plants did very well over the summer.\r\n\r\nFrost is good for your winter crops. It seems to sweeten the greens, so don’t worry about broccoli and collards, they’ll be just fine. Lettuce is more sensitive so you may want to harvest just before a frost forecast. Lettuce doesn’t ripen, it just gets bigger, so you can pick at any time.\r\n\r\nFrom now until April, the pendulum will swing back and forth; warm to cool and perhaps even hot to cold and back to hot again. So enjoy this beautiful season of changing colors and changing days. It is a rich time of year in the Lowcountry!\r\n\r\nRemember, your Number 1 defense against cold damage is hydration. I hear people debating all the time, water or don’t water? The jury is in — Water your plants!\r\n\r\n<i>Please send your garden wisdom and garden questions to Susan at; theriverangel.ss@gmail.com.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Prepare for a frosty November ... brrr!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'prepare-for-a-frosty-november-brrr', '', '', '2014-11-06 11:14:15', '2014-11-06 16:14:15', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19784', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Siegel</b>\r\n\r\nDiabetes is a disease that affects the body’s ability to produce or use insulin effectively to control blood sugar (glucose) levels. Although glucose is an important source of energy for the body’s cells, too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause damage in many parts of the body, including the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and the small blood vessels in the eyes.\r\n\r\nWhen the blood vessels in the eye’s retina (the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye) swell, leak or close off completely — or if abnormal new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina — it is called diabetic retinopathy.\r\n\r\nPeople who are at greater risk of developing diabetic retinopathy are those who have diabetes or poor blood sugar control, women who are pregnant, and people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids or both. Also, people who are from certain ethnic groups, such as African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans, are more likely to develop diabetic retinopathy. In fact, a new study confirms that diabetes is a top risk factor for vision loss among Hispanics.\r\n\r\nSomething to remember: diabetes can cause vision in your eyes to change even if you do not have retinopathy. If your blood sugar levels change quickly, it can affect the shape of your eye’s lens, causing blurry vision, which goes back to normal after your blood sugar stabilizes. Therefore, it’s important not to change your glasses prescription unless your blood sugar levels are normal.\r\n\r\nDid you know there is also a link between diabetes and cataracts? Permanent blurring of vision due to cataracts can also result from changes to the lens due to excess blood sugar. Cataract surgery may be necessary to remove lenses that are clouded by the effects of diabetes and replace them with clear intraocular lenses (IOLs) to restore clear vision.\r\n\r\nMaintaining good control of your blood sugar helps reduce episodes of temporary blurred vision and prevent the permanent clouding of the lens that would require surgery to correct.\r\n\r\nMark Siegel,  MD, FAAO, <i>Medical Director, </i><i>Sea Island Ophthalmology, </i><i>www.seaislandophthalmology.com</i>\r\n<div><b><i> </i></b></div>\r\n<div></div>', 'Maintain eye health with diabetes', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'maintain-eye-health-with-diabetes', '', '', '2014-11-06 12:28:46', '2014-11-06 17:28:46', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19793', 0, 'post', '', 0),

One day at work I received a tearful phone call from her. She poured her heart out to me that she was miserable in school and had been for most of the year.  She hated her science program but was worried about disappointing me by saying so. She felt that I had dreams of her becoming a pediatrician! I assured her that I was only supporting what I thought was her vision for her future.  She revealed that she was interested in switching to the technology program where she would study such subjects as set design and woodworking. She had always loved creating things from her vision and with her hands.  In college she majored in film and had a minor in journalism.  Today she is living her passion as a T.V. documentary film writer and producer.\r\n\r\nWhen we come to the time in our lives when we can no longer live someone else’s dream and where the compelling to JUST BE ME is so strong, actions of tremendous courage might be called for.  Often the fears that arise in the face of these requests will feel insurmountable.  The lyrics to the song remind us to not be afraid to be weak and to not be so proud to be strong.  Seeking the support and guidance of someone who lives a life of innocence, of freedom, is always a wise choice.\r\n\r\nThe song continues:\r\n\r\n<i>If you want, then start to laugh</i>\r\n\r\n<i>If you must, then start to cry</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Be yourself don’t hide</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Just believe in destiny </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Don’t care what people say</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Just follow your own way</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Don’t give up and lose the chance</i>\r\n\r\n<i>To return to innocence</i>.\r\n\r\n<i>Ifetayo White is a community elder and  WisdomWoman Director of Neesa’s Home and Retreat Center.  She shares empowerment coaching, pregnancy and childbirth support, Reiki instruction, energy healing   and body psychotheraphy, workshops and private retreat facilitation.  She can be reached at 843-271-1923 or neesamoon@gmail.com</i>.\r\n<div></div>', 'The Return to Innocence', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-return-to-innocence', '', '', '2014-11-06 12:31:07', '2014-11-06 17:31:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19795', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Upon retirement in 1985, after three decades of service to our country, they chose Lady’s Island as their home and, once settled, began contributing to the community.  Fred served as an interim pastor at six churches while Doti volunteered to help the Beaufort Friends of the Library.  Soon the Friends of the Library volunteer effort became a family team effort and together, in various capacities, they have each given more than 20 years of service in support of the Beaufort library. For many years Fred was one of the driving forces behind the collection, organizing and display of books for the annual Friends of the Library book sales.\r\n\r\nWhile Fred was on active duty, Doti began serving as a as a member of the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and upon arrival in Beaufort, along with several others, established a VITA site which she has supported each tax season for the past 20 years. Her other volunteer activities have included service as a Literacy Volunteer of the Lowcountry at Beaufort Elementary, support of the annual Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) fundraiser, participation in the American Red Cross blood drives and charity gift wrapping at Belk.\r\n\r\nIn addition to their many contributions to the community, they are very active in their support of St. John’s Lutheran Church where Fred has served as the supply pastor for Lowcountry churches, initiated the use of the Labyrinth (a form of Christian prayer and devotion), conducted the prayer program during Holy Week while Doti cuts, sews and stuffs cloth animals for the emergency room at Beaufort Memorial. Each Easter they erect and decorate a 14-foot Chrismon Cross with hand-made symbols of Christ.\r\n\r\nAs a result of their many exceptional acts of generosity over a lifetime of service to both our country and our community, Fred and Doti Wilson will be recognized as recipients of the Lifetime Community Spirit Award at the November 11 meeting of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association. In keeping with their request, in lieu of a plaque of recognition, a contribution in their honor will be made by LIBPA to the charity of their choice.\r\n<div></div>', 'Lifetime community spirit award: LIBPA recognizes Fred and Doti Wilson', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lifetime-community-spirit-award-libpa-recognizes-fred-and-doti-wilson', '', '', '2014-11-06 12:48:43', '2014-11-06 17:48:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19808', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19814, 4, '2014-11-06 12:53:26', '2014-11-06 17:53:26', 'Magician Gary Maurer is not what he seems. If one man can embody illusion and surprise, then Maurer fits the bill. Gary and his wife Kim, live in a pleasantly all-American house on a cul de sac in a planned community in Bluffton. Teenage kids toss a football around, lawns are green, and seasonal knick knacks decorate porches. The only hint that the Maurer’s house may be different is that cars are parked in the driveway, instead of the garage. As, yes, but presto-change-o, open the garage door and you step into an entirely different world. The room is stacked floor to ceiling with magic props and ingredients for illusions of all shapes and sizes. From top hats to swords meant to turn a box filled with a beautiful lady into a living pincushion, to everything in between. The only thing you won’t find in this garage are the English Angora rabbits which are part of the show. They are treasured family pets and have their own enclosure where they live and happily produce “the best lawn fertilizer you can imagine”, according to Maurer. And there you have it, high and low, familiar and strange, magical and domestic all at once — very much like Maurer’s show, Bamboozled, which is coming to ARTworks this weekend.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19815\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"199\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Maurer-Magic.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19815\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Maurer-Magic-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Magician Gary Maurer\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" /></a> Magician Gary Maurer[/caption]\r\n\r\n“Bamboozled is a cabaret-style magic show”, says Maurer. “It’s a show that combines magic, mentalism and comedy for an older crowd.  Younger children can attend, but they may not understand all of the content of the show.” To be bamboozled is defined as “to be entertained, tricked, confused, or puzzled” and Maurer attempts to cover all the bases as he segues from card tricks and sleight of hand, to larger Broadway-style illusions, and audience participation segments. Dubbed South Carolina’s “Magician of the Year” in 2010, Maurer focuses on entertainment as much as illusion, interjecting comedy and banter into every routine.\r\n\r\nAs fascinating as the stage show is, the back stage story is equally as interesting. Until age 35, Gary Maurer was an ordinary teacher in Allentown, Pa. In 1986, while attending a convention he saw a presenter use magic to get his point across and thought it was something he could in the classroom to get his students’ attention.\r\n\r\n“Well, once I got the magic bug, it didn’t stop. I joined local magic associations and attended lectures by nationally and internationally known magicians”, says Maurer.\r\n\r\nHow did his wife, Kim, react to this? She became his assistant, of course. The pair, along with their son Dustin, relocated to the Lowcountry in 2002, where Maurer has been performing regularly at Coligny Plaza, the Salty Dog, and other tourist destinations around Hilton Head.\r\n\r\n“I’ve been looking for a chance to do a full length show like Bamboozled, though, with more sophisticated material and some of my favorite illusions,” says Maurer. “Although, we’ll also be doing a Sunday matinee family show that kids can enjoy, too.”\r\n\r\nIf you go: Bamboozled will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8. A Family Magic Show will be presented on Sunday, November 9 at 3 p.m. Performances are at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in the Beaufort Town Center shopping plaza.

Firefighters remained on the scene until about 10 p.m. and contained fire and smoke damage to just the one apartment. An adjacent unit suffered minor water damage.\r\n\r\nTo combat the fire, 23 firefighters including a crew from Burton fire district worked at the apartment complex near Ribaut Road. That included four fire engines and three squads with support from the Burton Fire District.\r\n\r\n“The best way to avoid injury is to leave! Get everyone out of the house and call 911,” Negron said. After calling 911, and if the fire seems very small, some techniques for extinguishing a kitchen fire include turning off the heat, smothering the flames with a lid, or using a fire extinguisher or agent such as baking soda. Never use water on a grease fire, he said.\r\n\r\nAnother contributing factor to the fire was open doors. The resident apparently left both front and rear doors open as he escaped the house.

(19835, 4, '2014-11-13 11:04:32', '2014-11-13 16:04:32', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nMy neighbor dog, Miss S, currently has two hot spots. She was clear on Monday; by Wednesday afternoon she had a weeping, oozing wound on her right front leg and another on her flank. Her gooey messes might be pyotraumatic dermatitis, wet eczema or <i>Staphyloccocus intermedius</i>, but they are what we generally group under the heading of “hot spots”.\r\n\r\nThey are warm and swollen to the touch, certainly painful and often smell dreadful.  They can be triggered by bacteria, yeast, fungi, fleas, lawn-care products, irritating grooming products, anxiety, stress, boredom or as a reaction to having been recently vaccinated.  In many dogs hot spots mark the return of autumn.\r\n\r\nMost vets will treat hot spots by shaving the area, washing with disinfectant soap or rinsing with a liquid antiseptic. They will often use astringents, hydrocortisone sprays, antibiotics and steroid injections or pills.  If the dog can’t leave the spot alone, she may be sentenced to the Cone of Shame, E-collar (the lampshade device) that prevents her from getting at the wound.  Any dog can get a hot spot, but our pets are especially prone given our humid climate.\r\n\r\nBecause hot spots tend to recur, holistic practitioners tend to look beyond the obvious symptoms to the underlying causes. Richard Pitcairn, DVM, PhD, my mentor and author of one of my favorite reference guides with the longest, most unmemorable title (“<i>Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats”</i>) maintains all skin problems stem from the same health problem. He maintains that skin disorders stem from: toxicity from poor-quality food, environmental pollutants or topically applied chemicals; routine unnecessary yearly vaccinations that induce immune disorders in susceptible animals; suppressed disease (conditions that have never been cured that reappear as periodic skin discharge); or psychological factors such as stress, boredom, frustration, irritability.  Miss S is morbidly obese, eats garbage kibble and is confined on the back porch 16 hours a day. I’d wager her hot spots are a trifecta of causality.\r\n\r\nWhat’s the cure?  Dr. Pitcairn says it’s all in the diet. I believe him.\r\n\r\nHe recommends a short fast followed by an improved diet, absent any processed grains, soy, chemical preservatives, artificial colors, flavors or synthetic vitamins.\r\n\r\nThe short fast (a couple of days, fresh clean water always available) will encourage the body to burn up fat deposits where it holds impurities. By the time your dog returns to a clean diet, her body will have already started the healing process. But what do you do in the meantime when your dog has a great, nasty owwy?\r\n\r\nDespite a stellar diet, my Bea would routinely sprout a hot spot on her left hip every autumn. Before she could worry it into a full-scale drama, I would shave the area, wash it gently with an anti-bacterial soap, and apply tea tree oil diluted w/a neutral carrier oil.  Often by the next day her little wound would be scabbed over leaving her to sport a fur excavation site for the next three months.  Tea tree oil worked for The Bea.  As it is a bitter, smelly oil her only reward for worrying the site was the slobbery “get this off my tongue” reaction we’ve all seen. Tea tree is a powerful essential oil, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and used by Australian WWII troops to fend off trench foot in the South Pacific Theater.  It’s also known as melaleuca oil of MLM notoriety.\r\n\r\nHerbal treatments such as powdered goldenseal, comfrey tea or chamomile compresses will soothe and dry the wounds. A couple of plain old black tea bags soaked in hot water, squeezed almost dry and left to cool can be applied directly to the hot spot for as long as your dog will allow.  The tannins in the tea will help dry out the wound plus the cooling compress AND your personal attention will be soothing.\r\n\r\nHolistic philosophy says that organisms function as complete units that cannot be reduced to a sum of its parts.  If your dog gets a hot spot, certainly treat the “part”, but then look beyond the immediate emergency to find the source of the problem. With hot spots, as with other health issues, if the complete unit is healthy it follows that the parts will be healthy, too.\r\n<div></div>', 'What’s with the hot spots?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'whats-with-the-hot-spots', '', '', '2014-11-13 11:04:32', '2014-11-13 16:04:32', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19835', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19842, 4, '2014-11-13 11:22:47', '2014-11-13 16:22:47', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nAs Thanksgiving Day rapidly approaches, I’m sure there are knots in many stomachs — just looking at mile long lists of what still has to get done before “THE” day can lead some to think it’s too close. There is no way to avoid its coming. The only options at this point are to dig in and do what has to be done, or change your plans. All of a sudden the invitation to go to your old aunt’s house is looking better. Or, my favorite, making a reservation at a restaurant, giving up all the cooking and cleaning. (But then there are no leftovers, so maybe not a great option.)\r\n\r\nWhatever you end up doing, make sure you have plenty of wine. It helps while you’re cooking, eating, cleaning up, waiting to leave to go home (or the opposite, waiting for everyone to leave your house so you can relax). You know you need it. This week we’ll review a list of whites, and we’ll come up with reds for next week. Then all you have to do is count how many bottles you need and get them home.\r\n\r\nHere are some recommended white wines for Thanksgiving, in alphabetical order, so choose the favorites that will best compliment your meal.\r\n\r\n<b>Borsao White </b>($7.99). A Spanish white that is medium bodied and neutral enough in its flavors to pair well with all the flavors and textures that are a part of this meal. We all tend to eat too much — not because we’re gluttons, but because there are just too many choices, too many good foods. This wine is made from a grape called Macabeo. Just try and tell me saying that several times  won’t be fun during your holiday dinner. Or try “Viura,” another name for the same variety. The vines are 25 to 30 years old; the wines are medium bodied, smooth yet dry, minerally with stone fruit flavors. Perfect.\r\n\r\n<b>Ferrari Carano Bella Luce</b> ($13.99) A California blend of 11 varieties — some we’ve heard of and drunk often, some we’ve never heard of and have no way of knowing if we have or haven’t ever drunk them. Together, though, they make a lovely wine. A very unique wine, probably why I like it so much. Also, this is one of the far better pairings for a turkey dinner. Clean, crisp, fruity and refreshing. This wine can be drunk very cold, if that’s how you like it, with turkey, white and dark meat, ham, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole.\r\n\r\n<b>Hecht &amp; Bannier Côtes de Provence Rosé </b>($19.99) For sure we have to include a wine for ham. It’s that old “pink wine for pink meat” thing. This Côtes de Provence wine is excellent with ham, but why save it just for that? Turkey, duck and pheasant all will go well with it also. It has mild strawberry and red currant flavors, great dryness and acidity, smooth textures and beautiful, beautiful rosé color. A holiday in a glass if I ever saw one.\r\n\r\n<b>Marc Roman Terret </b>($6.99) A “more than its price leads you to expect” wine. It doesn’t happen often, but once in a while a wine comes in at an unexpectedly good price. And we all ask “Why?”  Well, who cares! It’s a great wine for the price and our job is to know when to use it. Like when you have a crowd of people, some who know nicer wines than others. But you can’t buy separate bottles for everyone and that’s when the Marc Romans come out. Terret is a dry white variety with less puckery acidity than Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, and less weight and oakiness than Chardonnays. Add in their red wine (Malbec) and their Rosé (Syrah) and you’ve got the whole day covered. And your budget safe.\r\n\r\n<b>Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc</b> ($14.99) One of my favorites, all year long. This is by far one of the best food wines. Ever. Which shows you what can be the problem with reviewing wines for special occasions — I like them all anyhow. And the few that make the “Last Chance” list are always really good ones. Pinot Blanc is related to Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris/Grigio. More green-colored skin. A pretty full-bodied white, without oak, that for a long time was thought to be related to Chardonnay. And it fills in nicely for a Chardonnay. For a turkey dinner, or ham, or duck, or whatever, an Alsatian Pinot Blanc, like this one, is a great choice. More neutral than a Chardonnay, so it blends with the foods’ multiple flavors better.\r\n\r\n<b>Stags Leap Wine Cellars Sauvignon Blanc </b>($19.99) A Napa County wine, with all the history and prestige to go with it. A stellar winery, known possibly more for their reds than whites, but when you’re good, you’re good. A full-bodied white with ripe pear, melon, herb flavors and hints of baking spice and vanilla from some oak aging.  Made to really go with a big meal. Which is, I think, what we’re talking about?\r\n\r\nIt’s really difficult to come down to a final choice for the right holiday wine. I suppose budget is part of what each of us will drink. How well what we like to drink is shared with our family and friends at the table. A lot of thought is involved. And, we still have red wines to consider. Here’s my proposal: This week think over your whites. Choose two or three to taste one last time, if you can’t narrow it down to one final winner.

In Beaufort, Our Lady’s Pantry goes beyond offering immediate subsistence with health advice, food distribution, diet recommendations, and prayerful intervention or assisting with medical insurance, job searches and food stamps. Our Lady’s Pantry is located at 70 Carolyn Drive, near the Beaufort High football stadium on Lady’s Island and it is one group that is ensuring its work takes the steps needed to help the community.\r\n\r\nThe pantry is sponsored and supported by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charleston. The diocesan office is located in Columbia, SC, and has established goals that meet the diverse needs of many across the state.\r\n\r\nMore than 50 volunteers make it happen at Our Lady’s Pantry, and together they serve the poor five days a week, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Students from the surrounding middle and high schools often come in after school and over the holidays to assist the volunteers who travel from as far as Hilton Head, Yemassee, and Okatie. The only paid staff person is Pam Rice, the Regional Coordinator of the Lowcountry for Catholic Charities, and her day begins before the volunteers arrive and long after they leave.\r\n\r\nPam shared, “This program is truly ecumenical, and the helpers and recipients do not need to be members of the local parish, St. Peter’s. The volunteers, like those receiving assistance, are from different ethnic backgrounds and genders, and age groups range from 12 through 70.”\r\n\r\nThe criteria to receive assistance is prescribed by the Lowcountry Food Bank and stipulated by the federal government guidelines. It is based on the number in the family, the inclusive income and the food stamp benefits of everyone in the household. When patrons register, they must bring an up-to-date picture ID (i.e. SC driver’s license), a recent local utility bill confirming their identity as the head of household and the living address of the applicant’s ID. The patrons can return once every 30 days with their picture ID in hand.\r\n\r\nItems distributed come from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Lowcountry Food Bank, individual and church donations, and Second Helpings, which picks up and distributes surplus food from local supermarkets and restaurants. Last year, the diocese provided the money to purchase 378,921 pounds of meat, produce, and non-perishable foods, while Second Helpings enhanced the pantry’s food allotment to the clients by 155,427 pounds.\r\n\r\nThe pantry’s recipients’ monthly pick up of food is allotted based on family members living at home. A single person would receive about 20-30 pounds of food, and a larger family might receive at least twice that amount. The grocery cart includes meat, veggies, fruit, bread, canned and non-perishables to feed that household for about 3 to 4 days. The financial value of the items is estimated to be between $35 to $100.  Bagged items vary each month depending upon what foods are available.\r\n\r\nOur Lady’s Pantry stands out among the many groups in the Beaufort area involved in food redistribution because it offers preventative nutritional and diet awareness information to clients. A person who is having weight and related health issues should not stock up on processed food items, sugar, and/or carb laden foods. Each person receives a physician prepared health handout that addresses specific health issue(s) that define the disorder, the symptoms, risk factors, treatment to get better, and specific foods to eat or not eat. Handouts address diabetes, high cholesterol, acid reflux, high blood pressure, pregnancy, and others problems.\r\n\r\nDuring intake interviews, community members register for assistance, share their diagnosed illness(es), and a medical information handout is reviewed to ensure they understand how eating habits might exacerbate health issues, and what foods would improve their health.\r\n\r\nRoutine exercise is also pushed as part of the action plan. A special high weight-range medical scale was donated to the pantry by United Health Care to assist with screening information to encourage the client’s holistic monthly review toward wellness. All this health information encourages clients to “Eat Well to Be Well”.\r\n\r\nPam Rice shares numerous stories about improved conditions because of these interventions. One man came into the pantry with acute gout in his hands and feet and was counseled and given the appropriate handout.  He returned to the pantry opening and closing his fist with great speed and ease and said, “Do you know how long it has been since I could do this?”\r\n\r\nAnother with migraine headaches could only get relief by getting a shot. She was given the appropriate handout and returned saying, “They’re gone! They’re gone! My migraine headaches are gone!” Others have lost 20 plus pounds over 2-3 months and expressed their appreciation because someone cared. Pam says she also cares for the spiritual needs as well, and prays for and with clients before a surgery or upon the death of a loved one.\r\n\r\nAll these stories help to emphasize why compassion and caring knows no bounds.  Wellness works at Our Lady’s Food Pantry.\r\n\r\n<i>Compassionate Beaufort Communities (CBC-SC.org) collects and shares stories of kindness by the many non-profit, charities, churches, and individuals that make a difference in our Beaufort area. </i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Compassion and charity know no bounds', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'compassion-and-charity-know-no-bounds', '', '', '2014-11-13 11:24:11', '2014-11-13 16:24:11', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19844', 0, 'post', '', 0),

As she presses the button for Nancy Pong’s apartment, Mary admits to herself that Nancy doesn’t know her because she, Mary,  is too busy to make friends with neighbors.\r\n\r\nHow many of us can relate? What stops us from introducing ourselves and greeting a neighbor? Mary’s excuse in the movie was because she was too busy.\r\n\r\nWhen I moved onto my street, I was amazed at the number of friendly people who stopped and said hello. They dropped off cookies and flowers and made us feel welcomed. How nice to have neighbors who actually talk to you.   What a great introduction to the South.\r\n\r\nThe practice doesn’t have to end with the neighbors on your street or in your building. You can extend it to others. I have started to talk to people in coffee shops and nurseries and other locations only to find that they know someone from my hometown or go to my church or live in my community. Just a simple “Hi, I am new to the area” has sparked stories of when people moved here and their experiences. It was amazing the number of people who then also recommended their church or service providers or other helpful tips.\r\n\r\nIt made me realize too that I had not been saying “hi” to people in my old hometown. I was not one of those residents who made small talk at the coffee shop. I was too busy, like Mary, to get to work. Too busy to make eye contact for fear someone would actually want to talk to me!  It is no wonder that many Northerners are considered standoffish.\r\n\r\nI don’t know if it is the warmth of the days that makes a difference in the South or just a calmer way of life, but I know that people seem friendlier here and because of it, I am friendlier.  When I am shopping downtown and a tourist asks me a question, I make sure I take the extra moments to answer the questions and welcome them. Maybe it is one of the reasons people like to come back here to either visit or live — someone has stopped, looked into their eyes, and made contact with them, unlike Mary and Nancy Pong.\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<b><i>Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.  A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Lee now translates those analytical skills to her writings.

The goal is to create 200 hats during the Coat Drive to be distributed.\r\n\r\nThe coat drive started on November 1 and ends on December 31.\r\n\r\nEach year, FWDG has requests from numerous businesses wishing to be a drop-off point, both in Northern and Southern Beaufort County.

It has reviewed the basic regulating plan for Celadon and requested the Beaufort County Planning Department authorize changing some of the rowhouses and courtyard apartment houses in the original basic plan to villa apartments. These changes were requested to provide increased flexibility in the regulating plan by allowing more traditional neighborhood homes, which are deemed by Blue Sky to be more sellable in today’s market.\r\n\r\nBlue Sky is familiar with the Beaufort County market. Blue Sky’s vision for Celadon is a neighborhood that prioritizes wellness and an active community lifestyle. The Celadon Activity Center and Spa will officially reopen the beginning of 2015.

Mini-implants are much less costly.\r\n\r\nCost of treatment typically is 25% to 50% less than the cost of conventional dental implants, averaging about one-third less. This opens the way to the natural feel, look and high performance of dental implants to people who might not have considered it before now.\r\n\r\n<b>The practitioner makes the difference</b>\r\n\r\nBecause of all the advantages of mini-implant treatment, dentists across the country have been pretty quick to bring the procedure into their practices. The key to a good result, though, is still the quality of care you get from the dentist you choose. It’s a good idea to ask about education, certification and experience.  Sitting down for an informal, pressure-free chat is the best way to start.\r\n\r\nSeeing the happiness of people who discover they don’t have to put up with chewing differently, talking carefully, avoiding favorite foods — that is almost as rewarding to us, and to the loved ones in their lives, as it is to our patients themselves.\r\n\r\n<i>A recipient of the 2012 Mastership Award from the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), Dr. Stephen Durham is a graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine.

Frankly, I didn’t really like this question so I turned the page quickly only to stumble on it several times since then ... again, just moving right along.  But each time the question was repeated in my mind, the more I became aware of how much I was choosing not to know, see or hear in several areas of my life. It made me realize that although there are many things we truly don’t know because we’ve never learned it, there are many things we don’t want to know because it would mean changing something in our lives that could be uncomfortable, boring or just simply unpleasant.\r\n\r\nAs an example, I have used a non-dairy creamer in my coffee for a very long time, refusing to read the ingredients like I do most everything else I put in my body (you did catch the “most” part?)  I didn’t want it to change my morning ritual so I consciously ignored the obvious every time I made my coffee. Then I “accidentally” clicked on an article while on Facebook that went on to describe all of the poisons in non-dairy creamers and what they do to the body.  Darn it! Now I can no longer pretend not to know! So, off I went in search of an alternative with fewer evils. I must say, I am grateful the article appeared before me because I do feel better without all that extra poison.  Why was I pretending not to know something that was actually harmful?\r\n\r\nWe humans are so quirky, aren’t we?  We know what we know and keep doing what we do, even it isn’t serving our highest good.  Up to now, these habits, patterns and behaviors have all been created through unconscious repetition of thought and/or action over days, weeks, years or decades, both by us and around us. All repetition creates a neural pathway or a messaging signal from the brain that over time becomes our personal reality, also known as our personality. This embedded behavior or habit can be either healthful or harmful.  Once we stop pretending not to know the ones that aren’t supporting our health, happiness and success, we can begin to un- or re- create patterns through conscious repetition of empowering thoughts or supporting action. It really is quite simple — just not so easy — right up until it is.  This is the magical moment that “shift” happens and you’re off on a new direction with a new personal reality.\r\n\r\nSo, what are you pretending not to know? What are you choosing to do that deep down you just know is keeping you from a more abundant and vital existence? At first, the question can be a real nuisance, so feel free to ask it to return when you are more prepared to contemplate it.  Each time it gently rises from deep within or brightly appears like a neon sign, just allow the question to dance around in your mind. Over time, you can’t help but begin to pay attention to the nudgings, ah ha’s and wow moments that show up in your thoughts, conversations and experiences slowly aligning you on a more healthful and joyful path.\r\n\r\nYou’ll notice that with repetition, you can no longer pretend to stay unaware of that limiting behavior, and instead begin repeating a new mantra, exercise or nutritional habit. At first, it will feel as though you are trying to turn an aircraft carrier from a dead stop, but eventually momentum picks up and you will notice you’ve made a 180 degree turn and are back in the steady flow of your intended joyful journey.

He told a sweet story about her and how much she means to him, and even got a little choked up, before he led the guests in singing “Happy Birthday.” Then he joined the band on the drums during their rocking rendition of “Mustang Sally.”\r\n\r\nHarvey said, “We met 26 years ago in Charleston one night that I was out with her brother.  Have been inseparable since. I fell in love with her because she makes me laugh, among other things.”\r\n\r\n“I met my husband the summer after my first year of law school when I went home to the Isle of Palms. My brother introduced us and we discovered that during college our fathers lived on the same hall at Clemson and worked as nuclear engineers in the same division at The Charleston Naval Shipyard,” Jean said. “That night Harvey told my brother he was going to marry me. Six months later we were engaged and six months later we were married.”\r\n\r\nShe said one of the things she loves best about Harvey is his zest for life.\r\n\r\nIt doesn’t take long to be in the presence of this couple to feel the genuine love and respect that they have for each other. They are friendly and warm and good-natured — traits perhaps that don’t always come to mind when describing members of the legal profession. But Jean is an attorney with the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office and Harvey is the sole practitioner at McCormick Law Firm.\r\n\r\nThe two were born and raised in Charleston and both said they knew from an early age that they wanted to be lawyers and to try to help people.\r\n\r\nHarvey attended the College of Charleston for his undergraduate, with a double major in Business and Economics, while Jean attended Winthrop College and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Government and Public Service. They both graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law, and came to Beaufort shortly after.\r\n\r\nJean said, “Although from Charleston, I never visited Beaufort until I received a job offer. I accepted the offer. The initial plan was to eventually return to Charleston, but once we moved to Beaufort we never wanted to leave.”\r\n\r\nAs the sole practitioner at his own private law firm, Harvey is in charge of general litigation practice, primarily personal injury, criminal, worker’s compensation and construction. He is also a certified mediator in civil court.\r\n\r\n“I feel that hard work, full communication with our clients and ethical integrity are the three most important traits of an attorney,” Harvey explains.\r\n\r\nJean has worked as a public defender and also as the general attorney with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah. She worked alongside her husband at the McCormick Law Firm from 1998 to 2006 before joining the Office of the Solicitor, 14th Judicial Circuit, and the team behind Duffie Stone in 2007. She is currently an assistant solicitor and the Minister of Justice who is in charge of the Beaufort County Juvenile Division.\r\n\r\n“I advocate for the safety of the citizens of Beaufort County while insuring that individuals charged with criminal offenses are accorded procedural justice,” said Jean, describing her job. “I prosecute cases by trial or plea, handle appeals and juvenile matters.”\r\n\r\n“I work with very dedicated people who have an extremely difficult and stressful job,” she said.\r\n\r\nAlthough practicing law can be hectic and involve long hours — especially while raising three boys ages 22, 18 and 13 — the McCormicks believe the rewarding aspects of their jobs make all the hard work worth it.\r\n\r\nHarvey said it’s important “really just helping people who are unable to help themselves.”\r\n\r\nJean said the most rewarding aspect of her job is “the opportunity to make a decision that has the potential to change the course of one’s life.”\r\n\r\nShe has received numerous honors throughout her career, and was recognized as one the Top Lawyers of the Lowcountry in 2013.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to community service, Harvey was a past member on the board of directors for the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, a graduate of Leadership Beaufort, and a member of Sea Island Rotary for about 20 years. Jean has participated in the Beaufort County Choices Program for the past five years.\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Jean and Harvey said they plan to continue working in the legal profession while remaining active and trying to make a difference in the community.\r\n\r\nHarvey said, “I love the fact that Beaufort is a small and close knit community.  I like walking down the street and knowing almost everyone that we pass.”\r\n\r\n“To name a few of the many things I like best about Beaufort,” adds Jean, “the smell of pluff mud, the history, the beauty, the community looking out for your children, the beach, the river, the farmers market, the excellent restaurants, shops, and seeing a friendly face wherever you go.”\r\n\r\nThe philosophy behind her work — “to treat all with respect, understanding and compassion” — shines through in all facets of Jean’s life and explains why the McCormicks serve as such an inspiring example of what makes this community great.\r\n<div></div>', 'Raising the bar: Jean and Harvey McCormick know about the law, and love', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'raising-the-bar-jean-and-harvey-mccormick-know-about-the-law-and-love', '', '', '2014-11-13 12:03:51', '2014-11-13 17:03:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19883', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We’ve had a great season and our seniors have really stepped up with their leadership.”\r\n\r\nShe pointed to the team’s strong foundation skills that came from former Cheer Coach Kathy Ingram’s steadfast desire for perfection. “Kathy has helped us with the finer points of competitive cheer — she knows so much about what makes a routine work and what the judges really want to see.”\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort High Cheer Team won first place at the Patriot Lowcountry Classic competition last month at Fort Dorchester High School.\r\n\r\n“Our cheerleaders, the young women and our two young men, work so hard not only in practice but also with their tumbling and their dance,” Zimmerman said. “Some of them go to tumbling practice in Bluffton on weeknights or Saturdays, and several of our cheerleaders are in the advanced dance classes at Beaufort High. It’s an all-around effort.”', 'Beaufort High Cheer Team wins Lower State 3A', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-high-cheer-team-wins-lower-state-3a', '', '', '2014-11-13 12:29:55', '2014-11-13 17:29:55', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19905', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19916, 4, '2014-11-20 13:15:53', '2014-11-20 18:15:53', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nThe holiday season opens soon with all the rich foods, relatives, decorations and happy chaos. As we settle into the hustle, let’s remember our Best Friends appreciate happy, safe holidays, too.  When planning for the holiday season, consider the following:\r\n\r\n<b>Train, don’t complain: </b>Our dogs don’t come pre-programmed; they rely on us to teach them acceptable behavior. Jumping up, stealing food, counter cruising, idiot barking and digging are all perfectly normal behaviors ... to our dogs. Unfortunately, they are also behaviors that irritate owners. When holiday houseguests arrive, when there’s an excited energy in the air and when the household is completely off schedule it becomes the perfect time for our dogs to engage in unwanted activities.  Help remind your dog to remember what is expected of him by practicing and rewarding desired behaviors on a daily basis before the big day arrives. Even your old, well-trained been-around-forever dog will welcome the attention of a brush-up of basic skills.\r\n\r\n<b>The gift of management: </b>In a perfect world our dogs would behave like those robot-dogs in the Hallmark specials.  However, in the real world we need to affect our management skills to out-think or pre-think our beloved pets. Use your dog tools — baby gates, tethers and x-pens are extremely useful in keeping Rooster out of the high-level distraction entertainment zones. Whenever possible, give your dog something to do rather than let him get creative and find something to do. Pre-gift your dog a stuffed Kong or a Buster Cube. Working a food puzzle or a chew is the dog equivalent of “sit and color”.\r\n\r\n<b>Cooking or catastrophe?</b> On Thanksgiving Day + 1 where would you rather be — lounging on the couch with your dog, hitting the Black Friday sales, or at the vet’s office praying that your dog makes it to T-day + 2?  The best safety tip for Thanksgiving is: Keep Rooster out of kitchen! Not only will this prevent his unwanted interaction with highly desirable contraband, accidental injury from falling pots or knives but it also prevents you from tripping over him and finding yourself in the ER. Remember, dogs are not discriminating when it comes to yummy foods; they are happy to eat greasy turkey flavored baking string, napkins, toothpicks, shrink-wrap, pop up timers, roasting bags, skewers, tin foil and styrofoam plates. Plus, your vet is happy to fish it out of your Best Friend for a hefty fee. Push cooking gear to the rear of the counters and put up the trash cans before you sit down to dinner.\r\n\r\n<b>Leave the leftovers: </b>While it’s nice to think we’re going to maintain a good diet through the holidays, the solution is not peeling off the turkey skin and handing it to the nearest dog. Rich, fatty foods will cause stomach problems ranging from simple upsets all over the carpet to pancreatitis, a serious condition often requiring hospitalization. At your holiday table, provide tiny bowls of kibble or baby carrots for guests, who might feel guilty in their own personal gluttony, to slip to the dog lurking under the table.\r\n\r\n<b>Respect each other:</b> Avoid forcing your dog on non-dog people and do not let your guests force themselves on your dog. Some folks become very uneasy upon getting “haired up”, and conversely, some dogs do not care to serve as eye-poking-fodder for the curious grandchild. Set clear ground rules for how your dog is to be treated and if necessary, be prepared to remove your Best Friend if guests are unable or unwilling to follow them.  Watch your dog for signs that he’s uncomfortable—yawning, lip licking, turning away or actively trying to get to anywhere else. Keep an eye out for “the freeze”, a clear dog sign that someone is about to be bitten. If you know your dog has a fear or aggression issue, do everyone a favor and park him, with his Kong, in his crate, away from the action.\r\n\r\n<b>And, finally, be grateful. </b>Your Best Friend provides companionship for your most mundane activities, cuddles when you’re blue, a warning bark for the noise in the night, a playmate and exercise partner and he doesn’t snicker when he sees you naked. That’s a really good friend.\r\n<div></div>', 'Turkeys and dogs CAN be friends', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'turkeys-and-dogs-can-be-friends-2', '', '', '2014-11-20 13:15:53', '2014-11-20 18:15:53', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19916', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19921, 4, '2014-11-20 13:20:26', '2014-11-20 18:20:26', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThis final week before Thanksgiving, here is a list of a variety of red wines just right for the holidays. In many ways it is easier to find a red wine to go with turkey dinners than it is to find a white wine. I guess, too, that can make it harder to choose just one wine. With all the choices, I, for example, like to not settle for just one option. That way, if I feel one way in the morning, I’m covered. And if I feel a change by mid-day, I’m still covered. And, again, if I feel like something else when all the food is ready, I’m still prepared.\r\n\r\n<b>Chandon Pinot Meunier</b> ($19.99) To start with, we’re going to go back to a wine that I have been drinking for years, through multiple vintages. Pinot Meunier is a red cousin to Pinot Noir; same basic flavors but more intense and more body in the wine. It is the third variety used in the Champagne region, and, as you can see from the label, this still wine comes from the California sparkling house of Moët and Chandon. Red Pinots always pair well with a turkey dinner, as well as duck, pheasant and other poultry. And this one was described as “better than sex.” Maybe not, but that is quite a recommendation. At a discounted price even.\r\n\r\n<b>Côtes de Beaune-Villages</b> ($25.99) Another blast from the past — a Pinot Noir from the  Burgundy region of France. We need to remember not only how good this wine is, but what it’s name (appellation) signifies. Côtes de Beaune-Villages in not a town wine, where the grapes come only from the named town, it is a sub-regional appellation that is used to blend grapes from several towns. These grapes are way better than many town grapes, especially in this case with this specific producer. Pommard is a town, and an appellation, that makes red wines in this part of Burgundy. Drouhin’s Pommard costs almost $60 dollars a bottle. Because Burgundy wine laws say they can only make so many gallons of wine per acre, the leftover Pommard grapes go into another wine. And, guess which wine the leftovers get blended into? For less than half price, and a limited quantity, we get great Pinot Noir.\r\n\r\n<b>Finca La Linda Malbec</b> ($10.99). From Mendoza, Argentina, this Malbec is medium bodied with intense plum and smoke flavors. Smooth and mellow, great for sipping and for a holiday dinner. This wine is 100 percent Malbec, made from hand picked and hand de-stemmed grapes that are grown at over 1,000 feet above sea level. Temperature controlled fermentation enhances the great fruit flavors. All under the watchful eye of the owner at the Luigi Bosca Winery. Over the last several years, Malbec wines from Argentina have continued to grow in both in popularity and availability.  “The pretty little farm,” that’s what “Finca La Linda” means, has been a long time favorite.\r\n\r\n<b>Steele Shooting Star Syrah</b> ($11.99) From California, Mendocino County, this Syrah is above and beyond its price range. Made by Jed Steele, this variety is his personal favorite and the Shooting Star Syrah is a pet project for him. This wine is made from grapes harvested from up to five different vineyards, giving it a complexity that only one or two vineyards can’t. Hand picked, fermented for eight days, eight months barrel aging in French and American wood, this really is a great wine for a fair price — more than fair. Smooth tannins make this a great choice for Turkey Day, with the food and sipping as you go through the day.\r\n\r\n<b>Thorny Rose Red Blend</b> ($7.99) A Washington state wine made from several varieties — Merlot, Cabernet,  Malbec and Syrah — that each gives its own flavors to this wine, so that, in your glass, it is very multi-layered, or complex, in wine speak, and more flavors are the sign of a well made wine. It’s the difference between having a plain hamburger or hot dog and having one with “the works.”  This wine has plum, black and red fruits, smoke, vanilla, baking spices, caramel and more; pretty amazing when you look at the price. Not too heavy, but it can stand up to white and dark meat and all the fixings. And, for the price, you can make sure you have a few extra bottles handy for when you catch a minute to yourself to enjoy a quiet glass.\r\n\r\n<b>JCB No 69 Rosé Crémant de Bourgogne</b> ($17.99) Another Pinot Noir wine, also from the Burgundy region of France. But this one is a bubbly. As with any holiday, bubbles become more important and more fun. A glass or two of bubbles is sort of how many of us know we are having a holiday. Besides being a deep rosé color, so it looks really pretty in your glass and on the table, this wine is absolutely lovely. Smooth and fresh and clean and dry, it will go especially well with the food. We did say Pinots would, but it gives the whole day a lift, and a lift on a holiday is always a good thing. Another tidbit on this wine? Crémant does not have as many bubbles in it as Champagne, about half as many, actually, which means it is easier to drink and easier to drink more of because there’s less air going into your stomach, you know. There’s enough hot air going around on Turkey Day, so keep it on the outside!\r\n\r\nSo, here we have some choices for holiday reds. As I looked back over white and red wine choices  for the last couple of years, I found some of them were repeated, so it’s good to know that some of these wines started off good and have remained good, which is the great thing about wines. We can all always like our old favorites and we can all find new ones we like just as much. And, that is the best wine lesson ever! Happy Thanksgiving and Good Wines. Enjoy!\r\n\r\nAll the wines on this list can be found at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.', 'A list of last chance reds', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-list-of-last-chance-reds', '', '', '2014-11-20 13:20:26', '2014-11-20 18:20:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19921', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We have a few photos, we have a few memories, and we have a few stories to tell our out-of-town guests when they come visit.\r\n\r\nMost event organizers process their undertakings and volunteer efforts, they address what they did well, and what they need to work on. Sometimes we hear about those after-action summaries, sometimes not.\r\n\r\nRecently, some of the volunteers met at the Technical College of the Lowcountry to celebrate and do a little “processing” of the CAPA Ghost Tours program for 2014. Here are some of the stats and numbers they discovered.\r\n\r\n• Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) and Exchange Club staff, along with other volunteers, played host to about <b>30 of the 250 folks </b>who made this year’s event a wonderful success. Yes, It took 250 volunteers to run the event for nine nights, many putting in <b>50 plus hours</b> during the month of October.\r\n\r\n• Can we literally say that the tours have drawn thousands to the city of Beaufort every October? Yes! <b>More than 2,400 guests went on tour this year</b>, and that exceeded past the high in years past by more than 200 ticket purchases.\r\n\r\n• CAPA and the Beaufort Exchange Club have made this event a tradition in Beaufort and the town has become a destination site in mid-October because of it. What establishes a “tradition” in a little town like Beaufort? How about <b>22 years </b>of operation. That puts its start in 1992.\r\n\r\n• What roles did the 250 volunteers play? They dressed as ghosts or visions, acted as safety patrollers (on foot, in cars, on bikes), organizers, planners, ticket sellers and more.\r\n\r\n<b>• Thirteen  “visions”</b> appeared in parks, on side streets, near bridges, and from behind trees. Many of the volunteers have been doing it for a dozen years or so. Local residents make them feel welcome by offering a place to sit on a porch, a refreshment, and some conversation during the <b>three to four hour shifts</b> at the various locales.\r\n\r\nOne vision shared this: “Some nights are hot and the makeup streaks or your wig seems to attract gnats. Some are cold and lonely (no neighborly porch sitters on those cold nights).”\r\n\r\nWhat is the one thing all the volunteers have in common? A love of children, a desire to see no child abandoned, abused, or neglected.  The CAPA shelter currently is providing a home for <b>13 children, ages 4-17</b>. That changes day to day, and it is usually upwards of that number. Often those children are being brought to the shelter in the middle of the night due to domestic disputes in their homes. The funds raised will directly benefit those kids. The money will also help fund outreach programs that address parenting skills, teen pregnancy, crib safety, and more. That compassion, more than anything, is the legacy of the Ghost Tours.\r\n\r\nBeaufort is a town that cares.\r\n\r\n<i>Compassionate Beaufort Communities (CBC-SC.org) collects and shares stories of kindness by the many non-profit, charities, churches, and individuals that make a difference in our Beaufort area.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Compassionate Beaufort Communities: The Ghost Tours legacy to better Beaufort lives on', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'compassionate-beaufort-communities-the-ghost-tours-legacy-to-better-beaufort-lives-on', '', '', '2014-11-20 13:34:08', '2014-11-20 18:34:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19923', 0, 'post', '', 0);

I was pondering this question earlier this fall when I attended the Friends of the Beaufort County Library book sale at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. As my husband and I walked around the endless tables filled with history books, cook books, fiction and non-fiction, we had a chance to talk to the volunteers.\r\n\r\nThe entire team there had such energy and enthusiasm for the book sale and thanked us for supporting the fundraiser.  It was interesting to discover that many of these volunteers  came  to the Beaufort community from all over the United States. A majority of them were Baby Boomers who came here after working in their professions for 30 or 40 years; professions that defined them. When I asked a few of them what they did before retiring, their responses were, “I used to be ... (fill in the blank)”  a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher, a business owner or a soldier.\r\n\r\nThe truth is that just because someone has stopped practicing a profession doesn’t mean they have stopped being that professional. Doctors don’t stop being doctors and lawyers don’t stop being lawyers. We can’t disregard the years of education, training and experience that come with any career.   Thankfully, all that talent does not disappear when the paycheck stops.\r\n\r\nWe are lucky to be living in an area with so many “unpaid professionals” who contribute  unpaid volunteer hours to our community. According to the Volunteering in America  website, www.volunteeringinamerica.gov, South Carolina registered 133.4 million hours of volunteer service in 2013.\r\n\r\nThere is an incredible amount of talent working without pay to help strengthen our community. Many nonprofits, for example Friends of Caroline Hospice, Habitat for Humanity and multiple local churches, depend on these professionals.\r\n\r\nAnd  many  of the veterans who return to this area donate their unpaid hours  to military-related nonprofit organizations such as The Wounded Warrior Project and Wreaths across America.\r\n\r\nIt is very clear to me that the volunteers in our community are not “used to bees” — they are vibrant individuals translating all that energy and  knowledge to help improve our community. Retirement has a whole new look to it now.\r\n<div></div>', 'Professional volunteers', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'professional-volunteers', '', '', '2014-11-20 13:35:07', '2014-11-20 18:35:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19925', 0, 'post', '', 0),

After accepting the commission from Rome’s Teatro Argentina in 1816, Rossini took one month to agree upon a subject, produce a libretto, compose the music and stage it. Of course, it helped that he “borrowed” eight of the 20 set pieces from some of his earlier works. It’s also been said that it took him only 13 days to write the music, all of them in his pajamas, unshaven. “How ironic,” a friend remarked “that you wrote the Barber without shaving.” “But if I had shaved, I should have gone out. And if I had gone out, I should not have come back in time to finish it in 13 days.”  He was 24 at the time.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> Seville, late 17th century.  Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, and comes to serenade her. He pretends to be a poor student (Lindoro) so that she will not be influenced by his rank. Figaro arrives, a prominent barber from Seville. They overhear Bartolo planning to marry Rosina. Figaro suggests that the Count dress himself as a soldier, having the right to be quartered in Bartolo’s home and thus gaining access to Rosina. Rosina has fallen in love with “Lindoro” and uses all of her skill to outwit Bartolo. While the Doctor plots with Don Basilio, Rosina’s music teacher, she secures the help of Figaro. When Almaviva arrives in disguise, he discovers that Bartolo is no longer obligated to house the military. The ensuing confusion attracts the police, and Almaviva avoids arrest only by secretly revealing his identity to an officer.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II: </b>The Count again tries to visit Rosina, this time dressed as a music teacher, claiming that Don Basilio is ill and that he is his replacement. He begins a music lesson with Rosina, but Basilio himself arrives. This crisis is resolved but Basilio soon recognizes “Lindoro” and chases him out. During a storm, Almaviva and Figaro climb through a window to free Rosina. Bartolo nearly foils their escape, but through Figaro’s quick thinking, Almaviva and Rosina are united and all are reconciled in time to join in a happy finale.\r\n\r\n<b>The Music: </b>After a dazzling Rossini overture, Figaro makes a great first impression, entering the stage with his popular cavatina, <b>“Make way for the handyman ...”,</b> in which he boastfully recites his resume. “Figaro here, Figaro there, Figaro everywhere!” This leads to an exceptional Figaro/Count duet <b>“With this idea ...”</b> as they cook up a plot against Bartolo, enlivened by a fast pace with crescendos. The composer’s esteemed biographer, Stendahl, wrote that this passage was “the best thing that Rossini has ever done, and consequently the best thing that has ever been done in the entire history of music.” [written in 1824].\r\n\r\nThe last scene of the act is a remarkable start-to-finish stretch of Rossini’s distinctive talents, lasting nearly 40 minutes. It begins with Rosina’s<b> “I heard a little voice ...”,</b> telling of her love for “Lindoro.” It’s a challenging and beautifully written aria, tempting sopranos to do some embellishments near the end. Basilio’s buffa aria, <b>“Calumny, like a sigh ...”,</b> is a showpiece for comic characters, in which he plots a “whispering campaign” against Almaviva. It starts softly, but soon the pace becomes a run of quickly spoken words (pattering). This was a first for Italian opera and caused an immediate sensation. A very nice duet with Figaro and Rosina follows, leading to another fine aria, Bartolo’s <b>“To a doctor ...” </b>Like “Calumny,” it’s a gem of wit and patter. The act’s finale, <b>“Awestruck and immovable”,</b> is an elaborate and ingenious sextet, ending with the speed of a runaway train — as well as a huge challenge for those who write subtitles. Opera historian Charles Osborne defined it as “Rossini at his magnificent best, in which the characters find themselves led by way of a crescendo to a riotous climax.” [written in 1994]\r\n\r\nThe second act — with half the time and notes — begins with the phony music lesson, <b>“Peace and happiness,” </b>perhaps the funniest scene of the opera. The highlight, though, is a quick and tuneful trio for Figaro and the elopers, <b>“What unexpected bliss ...”</b> ending with the irresistible harmonies of  “zitti, zitti, piano, piano” (Quickly ... softly). The finale is a brief and cheerful ensemble, often performed as an upstage salute to the audience. [Running time, excluding intermission: 2:15].\r\n\r\nIn 1822, Rossini paid a respectful visit to Beethoven in Vienna at a time when he was almost totally deaf. “So you’re the composer of ‘The Barber of Seville,’”Beethoven said. “I congratulate you. It will be played as long as Italian operas exist.” When he was reminded that Rossini had written several earlier comic operas, he replied: “Yes, I looked at them.”\r\n\r\nStarring Christopher Maltman as Figaro; Isabel Leonard as Rosina; and Lawrence Brownlee as Count Almaviva.

There is a renewed sense of transparency between the Board and the Superintendent, and subsequently with the public.\r\n\r\nDr. Moss has demonstrated an experienced and confident approach to his work that has brought a significant sense of competence to the efforts of the district. The ability to respond to rapidly changing contentious topics with calmness and new proposals (as demonstrated during the Bluffton crowding and attendance zone meetings) is greatly appreciated. His leadership has brought us several cost-saving plans, most notably in the areas of new construction and establishing in-house legal services.\r\n\r\n“Academically, we are experiencing continued gains nearly in every area, and the board is strongly supportive of the early childhood and CATE initiatives which have been introduced and are already being implemented. The meaningful use of technology to support instruction and the numerous IT opportunities for our students will serve them well in whatever endeavor they choose going forward.\r\n\r\n“The district is faced with volatile funding; we commend Dr. Moss for his efforts in bringing attention to this issue to the public and working at both the local and state levels to resolve the concern. We must continue to find ways to do more with less and look at reorganization as a way to reduce costs. The Board has continuing concern, as expressed in comments, in three primary areas: First, and most important, is the small advance being made to overcome the achievement gap. This is an historic reality that has plagued the district for years, and needs to have an immediate solution. The board is willing to support and provide resources as necessary.\r\n\r\n“Second is the need to develop authentic alternative education programs across the district that do more than house discipline issues but serve those who struggle with traditional schooling. Programs that address special learning needs also should be a priority.\r\n\r\n“Third, to get one and two done, we must have a fully staffed human resources arm able to attract and maintain the highest-quality staff, ensuring that there is an excellent teacher in every classroom and an instructional leader running every school and that they are held accountable for their work.  A priority should be set for identifying a diverse staff.\r\n\r\nThe board feels very confident that Dr. Moss is the leader we need to make Beaufort County School District a standout not only in South Carolina but in the region and nation.  We hope to have a meaningful and successful relationship for many years.”\r\n\r\nMoss said he was encouraged by the Board of Education’s vote of confidence.\r\n\r\n“I share the board’s commitment to the goals we’ve set for our students and also the board’s sense of urgency that we accelerate our progress,” Moss said.', 'Board delivers favorable evaluation of superintendent', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'board-delivers-favorable-evaluation-of-superintendent', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:31', '2018-07-12 15:00:31', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19943', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(19947, 4, '2014-11-20 14:06:12', '2014-11-20 19:06:12', '<b>By Charles Tumlin</b>\r\n\r\nIt turns out that one of the best predictors of future success is the ability to manage “hot” emotional states and to learn self-control. The past two months in the equity markets have given just that opportunity once again.\r\n\r\nStanford psychologist Walter Mischel concocted an experiment involving 4-year-olds and marshmallows to test self-control back in the 1960s, and only understood its significance much later.\r\n\r\nAs Jonah Lehrer writes in <i>The New Yorker</i>: “For decades, psychologists have focused on raw intelligence as the most important variable when it comes to predicting success in life. Mischel argues that intelligence is largely at the mercy of self-control: even the smartest kids still need to do their homework.”\r\n\r\nThis is very true in financial markets. Temperament trumps brains when it comes to making money over the long run. You can have a great plan, but if you do not have the discipline to execute it, the plan is useless.\r\n\r\nNews flow in financial markets — much of it alarming, since scary new always gets better ratings — gives investors a multitude of opportunities to behave badly. The best strategy? Distract yourself.\r\n\r\nAt the time, psychologists assumed that children’s ability to wait depended on how badly they wanted the marshmallow. But it soon became obvious that every child craved the extra treat. What, then, determined self-control? Mischel’s conclusion, based on hundreds of hours of observation, was that the crucial skill was the “strategic allocation of attention.” Instead of getting obsessed with the marshmallow — the “hot stimulus” — the patient children distracted themselves by covering their eyes, pretending to play hide-and-seek underneath the desk, or singing songs from “Sesame Street.” Their desire wasn’t defeated, it was merely forgotten. “If you’re thinking about the marshmallow and how delicious it is, then you’re going to eat it,” Mischel says. “The key is to avoid thinking about it in the first place.”\r\n\r\nAccording to Mischel, this view of will power also helps explain why the marshmallow task is such a powerfully predictive test. “If you can deal with hot emotions, then you can study for the S.A.T. instead of watching television,” Mischel says. “And you can save more money for retirement. It’s not just about marshmallows.”\r\n\r\nAs Mr. Mischel points out, it’s not just about marshmallows. When clients ask me what to do in volatile markets, I only half-jokingly suggest that they read the sports pages. Focusing on the business news is just going to make you more likely to react. The more impulsive you are, the more likely you are to make a poor decision.\r\n\r\nSelf-control is very important when using return factors, none of which offer smooth sailing. Whether you are implementing relative strength or deep value or whatever, the market is going to gyrate and test you — basically do everything possible to get you to abandon your plan. A systematic, rules-based approach can be very helpful in this regard. If you have chosen a successful long-term strategy, more than anything else, your results are going to be dictated by how well you can follow it over the long run.\r\n\r\n<i>T</i><i>his article was written by Dorsey, Wright and Associates, Inc., and provided to you by Wells Fargo Advisors and Charles Tumlin, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC, 211 Scott Street, (843) 524-1114.  You cannot directly invest in an index.

Hospice, which focuses on comfort care and symptom management, is a special way of caring for individuals who are in the final stage of their lives due to a terminal illness.\r\n\r\nSouth Carolinians receive care from in-home service providers located across the entire state. Services provided by these agencies include skilled nursing, medical social work, intravenous (IV) therapy, physical therapy, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, home medical equipment, respite care, personal care services, bereavement counseling, pain management and quality, end-of-life care. These services are provided by a variety of organizations, including Medicare-certified home health and hospice providers, private duty nursing agencies, in-home aide agencies, councils-on-aging, departments of social services, home medical equipment companies, IV therapy agencies and adult day service providers. Some agencies also provide companion and sitter services, in-home management, home modifications and volunteer services.\r\n\r\nCare provided in the comfort and security of an individual’s home through a licensed agency gives individuals, their family, and friends, a sense of control and peace of mind. While it helps keep families together and promotes independence and patient dignity, in-home care also provides a wide range of health care and social services to the patient and teaches families to help care for their family member.\r\n\r\nIn-home health, hospice, and community-based services compassionately care for citizens of all ages and also provide love, comfort and support at the end of life. The services provide the greatest degree of independence, freedom and dignity possible for patients, allowing them to remain at home, close to their family and friends, in familiar surroundings.\r\n\r\n“We believe that working in this field is a great gift,” says Val Halamandaris, President of the National Association for Home Care &amp; Hospice. “Although it is difficult, the work in home care and hospice is highly gratifying.

We can all play these roles and more in any given day, or lifetime, for that matter.\r\n\r\nDon’t get me wrong, I hear satori’s sweet siren song too. Seductive is she, sexy she is. (Insert Yoda voice in your head.) Come hither to Satori-Sun, she beckons.\r\n\r\nDo you need to learn the ways of the Force to defeat Darth Vader’s mistress? It would certainly help, but since we live in a busy world and Dagobah is in a galaxy far, far away, we can start with meditation. Meditate on where you are, what you are doing, while you are doing it and what you are feeling and where you are feeling it in your body. Avoid the common misstep of judging your meditation when it goes awry. (Notice I said “when” and not “if” in the previous sentence.)\r\n\r\nPlease be gentle with yourself when you become distracted in your meditations so as not to create a noodle war. (Otherwise known as a war of the mind, that if left unchecked, will turn your mind into a wet noodle.) Seriously, we all battle this noodle war, especially as we strive for more and more satori just like the one we had when the skies cleared, it was easy like Sunday morning because you were a Commodore, and the pleasant breeze wouldn’t dare allow the no-see’ums to gnaw on exposed skin. Please remember, we need our minds, otherwise how do we know when to go to the bathroom, or how to drive home, or any other large or small action we need to complete our day?\r\n\r\nAvoid judging missteps back into golf’s green glory and go cliff diving if you like, but dive into the abyss because you desire it, and not because you remember yesteryear’s bliss that will make you miss the Satori-Sun beaming in your face at this very moment.\r\n\r\nYou have my permission to go bear hunting with a buggy whip if you yearn to be YouTube’s next virus. Or you can find satori, and perhaps Nirvana, by paying attention to each instant the instant it arrives.\r\n\r\n<i>When Chris Suddeth (Sutty) isn’t being Mr. Mom to 5-year-old Emma Belle, he balances his time between writing, real estate and supporting other’s healing through his personal blend of Reiki, Theta Healing® as well as teaching three levels of Reiki attunement classes.

No one day is ever the same. It is surprising how much fun Bingo can be at 3:00 in the afternoon with a room full of seniors. One of my favorite times of the day is listening to them reminisce over a bottle of wine at happy hour. The life lessons I learn from their experiences are amazing.”\r\n\r\nStephanie’s philosophy behind not only her work, but also every activity and challenge she faces is Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” And her activities and challenges are quite impressive. Although she has a fear of heights and bridges, she bungee jumped and ran the Cooper River Bridge and the Savannah Bridge. She’s also an avid runner, completing three half marathons in the past year and training for a full marathon.\r\n\r\nStephanie is an ambassador for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce.  She is a member of the Sea Island Rotary, where she serves as the Social Chair.

The set depicts scenes from Africa, the master’s “big house” and plantation slave quarters.\r\n\r\nThe show and the persona “Aunt Pearlie” were created by Anita Singleton-Prather, a former teacher and ordained minister whose mission is to preserve Gullah culture and history through her performances. She and her group have appeared many times for school children throughout South Carolina and across the nation. They recently completed the soon-to-be-released film, “Circle Unbroken: The Story of the Gullah People from Africa to America.”\r\n\r\nThe evening is scheduled to compliment other annual events in Beaufort, including Night on the Town, Light up the Night and a Christmas parade.

Hugs and kisses were waiting for them on the steps of the church by the Tidewater staff who had walked this journey of service with them.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0609.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19990\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0609-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0609\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>Together, with family, friends and staff sitting side by side, the service began with the church bell tolling three times.  The opening candle lighting ritual celebrated how memory, gratitude, hope, peace and compassion had accompanied them on their journey with their loved one. Words of wisdom were read and a psalm was prayed by all. A reflection was offered that talked about how important each of their contributions had been to the day to day care of their loved one. They had given the most precious gift to their loved one — it was the gift of their presence. Their giving of themselves was not only transformative for those whom they served, it was also transformative in their own lives. Family members were encouraged to discover this healing gift within themselves.\r\n\r\nIn the sanctuary, in the center of the remembrance table was a book. It has been a part of each Tidewater hospice service of remembrance. With beautiful music playing in the background, the names of the beloved deceased were read. As each name was called out, a family member came forward to sign the name of their loved one in the Remembrance Book. Each was given a red rose after the signing.\r\n\r\nThis year, St. Gregory the Great Church’s, <i>Jubilate Schola</i>, came to share their musical gifts with those assembled. The students who make up the schola are from St. Gregory the Great School, John Paul II Catholic School, and the parish religious education program. Under the direction of Mr. Tom Tiehel and Ms. Linda Burkett, co-director, the children played their chimes before the service began. During the service, they sang two hymns which some family members said “sounded as if there were angels in the rafters.”\r\n\r\nAt the reception that followed, tears could be seen along with smiles of affection and caring. A community of strangers had come together on this special day to remember those lost and to recognize that they were not alone.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0566.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19991\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0566-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0566\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0540.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-19992\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_0540-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0540\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>\r\n<div></div>', 'Tidewater holds 7th Annual Service of Remembrance', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'tidewater-holds-7th-annual-service-of-remembrance', '', '', '2014-11-20 15:43:26', '2014-11-20 20:43:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19989', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Since 1862, Penn School, now known as Penn Center, has been a historic site for education that prepared its students for responsible citizenship, and it has worked to advance the promise of freedom for all residents in the Sea Islands.\r\n\r\nPenn Center is organizing a conference to facilitate greater state and regional understanding of this rich history and is developing a network to support that objective. A longer term goal is to utilize this opportunity to launch the Penn Center Civil Rights Institute, the first of several regional facilities to promote civil rights discourse, organization and planning. This program is sponsored in part by The Humanities Council SC, whose mission is to inspire, engage, and enrich South Carolinians with programs on literature, history, culture and heritage.\r\n\r\nPenn Center is well-situated to lead this contemporary effort to secure a quality education and voting rights for all students. Penn Center is inviting key stakeholders in this movement to speak, including Dave Dennis, Bob Moses, Connie Curry, Cleve Sellers, Chuck McDew, Emory Campbell, Millicent Brown, Hayes Mizell, Dan Carter, Tom Gaither, Jim Campbell, Myrtle Glascoe and other key civil rights activists who were participants in the Civil Rights Movement as it relates to Penn Center.\r\n\r\nTheir perspective will be enhanced by the contributions of local experts on the topic such as Emory Campbell, Joseph McDomick, Thomas Barnwell, Victoria Smalls, and Maria Benac.\r\n\r\nInvited scholars and activists such as Vernon Burton, Jack Bass and William Hine will address issues including the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the repeal of key components of federal protection of the right to vote, the re-segregation of public schools, the school to prison pipeline, the role (and peril) of historically black colleges and universities in today’s society, and the role of museums and programs of social justice in the contemporary civil rights movement.\r\n\r\nAs part of the conference, Penn Center will also facilitate the participation of young people in workshops and panels on police violence and strategies around achieving a quality public education. This includes working with Dave Dennis, civil rights organizer from the 1960s, and another significant leader from that era, Bob Moses, who founded the Algebra Project and Young People’s Project in 1990. This focus on issues facing our communities currently will gain purpose through a retrospective look at recent documentaries on Freedom Summer and Freedom Riders, integral components of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as a screening of “The Corridor of Shame,” which drew attention to the inadequacies of local education programs.\r\n\r\nThe conference and the launching of the Civil Rights Institute at Penn Center will inform local, state, and regional citizens and leaders of this very crucial history. This, as noted, will also contribute to the content of professional development for teachers, the growth of leadership potential of young people, and the increased vitality of education throughout South Carolina. Finally, these activities will lift up the role of Penn Center and Beaufort in the growing regional and national efforts and discussions about quality public education in the country.\r\n\r\nFor more information on the Penn Center Civil Rights Symposium, schedule of events, and ways to sponsor and support it, please contact Victoria A.

Menendez established the first continuous European settlement in what is now the United States, on Santa Elena in 1569 and, as governor, Menendez also made Santa Elena the first capital of Spanish La Florida.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20010\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2302.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20010\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2302-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Beaufort Academy’s Mr. Dalton’s Social Studies Class.

Students from Robert Smalls International School and Beaufort Academy were able to spend an hour with him, asking questions, learning about Spain’s role in colonizing our country and the important role of Pedro Menendez.  He also encouraged the students to learn all they could about the formation of their country so they could take pride in all three colonial cultures, Spain, France and England.\r\n\r\nThe Count is in possession of the historical documents from Pedro Menendez, including letters from him to King Philip II recounting information about Santa Elena and other important 16th century documents.  He is working with the Santa Elena Foundation to share these papers.\r\n\r\nAccording to Dr. Andy Beall, Executive Director of the Santa Elena Foundation, the next step is to acquire a temporary home so documents and exhibits can be shared with the public.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2272.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-20011\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2272-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2272\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2275-2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-20012\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_2275-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2275-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a>', 'Spanish Count visits Beaufort County', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'spanish-count-visits-beaufort-county', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:30', '2018-07-12 15:00:30', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20009', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Beaufort is built for runners and walkers. Plentiful sidewalks, scenic vistas, salt breezes, great weather and incredible architecture make for a picturesque journey. We are lucky to have two bridges in town to run or walk across, as well as breezy Waterfront Park, historic Bay Street, and a true gem, the Spanish Moss Trail.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20025\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/couch-to-5k-island-news-6.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20025\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/couch-to-5k-island-news-6-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Participants from last year’s Chilly Bean Run 5K.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> Participants from last year’s Chilly Bean Run 5K.[/caption]\r\n\r\nA Couch to 5K program is a fun way for people who want to begin running or walking longer distances. Beaufort’s first Couch to 5K kicked off last year with about 20 participants and 6 volunteer coaches to train for the Chilly Bean Run. The participants had a great time reaching their goals, and that coaches had so much fun that they are doing it again this year to help people get outside and enjoy the fresh air and amazing sights Beaufort has to offer. Couch to 5K applies to runners, walkers, or anyone who wants to train their bodies to move forward for 3.1 miles.  This year’s Chilly Bean 5K and 10K (the 10K is new this year) is scheduled for January 31, 2015, and like last year will be followed by a Chili Cook-off.\r\n\r\nWhen Beaufort Academy put together the Chilly Bean Run 5K race last year, they wanted to find a way to encourage everyone to be able to participate in our beautiful Beaufort experience. We chose a gorgeous neighborhood, Coosaw Point, to showcase the unique beauty of the Lowcountry. Our route meanders by the water, under canopies of Spanish moss-draped live oaks and amongst stately Southern homes.\r\n\r\nThe Chilly Bean Couch to 5K training program is customized for the participant, depending on your personal goals. Last year, they had fit folks who wanted to add running and racing to their fitness regimen, folks who had not exercised in a long time, and several parent-child combos which were especially fun and rewarding.\r\n\r\nEach participant is assigned a coach, and the group run/walk format has built-in accountability and motivation. Utilizing a simple formula, Couch to 5K programs start participants on a 30 minute per session training plan. The 30 minutes includes a run/walk interval that gradually builds the group from more walking than running to more running than walking. Everyone goes at his or her own pace so there is no pressure to go faster than what is comfortable.\r\n\r\nGroup runs this year start in December. Sign up for the Couch to 5K today by downloading the form found on our website, www.chillybeanrun.com. Locations for our group runs are some of the most beautiful in town: Waterfront Park, the Spanish Moss trail, and the race route in Coosaw Point.\r\n\r\nIf you are thinking about joining us, here is some feedback from last year’s Couch to 5K participants and coaches:\r\n\r\nParticipant Nancy Ferry says: “Since I had never run before I thought I would challenge myself to see if I could do it. Also, I thought this would be a start to other 5K races for other charitable fundraisers. Knowing that I could do this with a group gave me the confidence that I could finish. Training with others gives you that extra confidence that you can compete and finish a race. It is very motivating with others challenging you and encouraging you. I would encourage anyone to sign up — you feel accomplished and motivated about exercise in general. My race goal was not to score any fabulous time but just to finish the race. With people encouraging you along the way it was easy to keep going and not stop. Remember, age is not a limiting factor if you feel that you are able to move your feet!”\r\n\r\nParticipant Emma Roddey says: “Tim and I loved being involved in the Couch to 5K last year. It was a great way to kick start a life change and have a great time. I strongly recommend everyone who is on the proverbial  ‘Couch’ to jump off of it and join this event. It is super fun and very comfortable for a true new runner/walker.”\r\n\r\nCoach Gina Staley says: “I think what is so motivating about a Couch to 5K program as a coach is that everyone starts somewhere. You literally just have to get off that couch and make a commitment to yourself that you are going to cross the finish line. Keeping the training fun, lighthearted and motivating is the key to success and that is what I try to do as a coach. Race day is the culmination of all the work put forth by the participants. I ran the entire race last year with one of our Couch to 5K participants. As a coach you know when to push them and how to motivate them as they run because for the past several weeks you have gotten to know the runners and what they need from you. It is exciting to see each runner cross that finish line and run their own race! My advice to anyone who is considering signing up is to do it! You won’t regret it! Once you make the commitment to the training it does become fun. You will surprise yourself and there is no better feeling than crossing the finish line. Chances are you will leave that race planning the date for your next one!”\r\n\r\nCoach Megan Taylor says: “I am personally motivated by the participants themselves. When they get a big smile on their face when they realize they can do it, that they can be a runner is incredibly inspiring. Race day was so fun as a coach. I was totally motivated at the race by the participants and their energy! I’d tell anyone who is thinking about participating to just get up and do it! You’ll meet new people, make new friends, see the beautiful area we live in from a new perspective, and challenge and surprise yourself! One of the reasons I love running as a way to get in shape is because you can do it anywhere with minimal equipment, and it is easy to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I don’t feel like going for a run 100 percent of the time, but when I’m done, 100 percent of the time I’m glad I went!”\r\n\r\nWe hope you will plan to join this year for another exciting Couch to 5K program.\r\n<div></div>', 'See our beautiful town, on the run...

(20032, 4, '2014-11-25 22:39:43', '2014-11-26 03:39:43', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nOur spiritual beliefs can play a part in how we process our pets’ passing. Those who practice a religious faith may turn to their church, temple, or synagogue or might seek out other religious and spiritual supports.\r\n\r\nHumans have a fear of death; animals do not. Humans are also fear-based; animals are not. We tend to project our human emotions onto our dogs.\r\n\r\nI believe that animals do not view the moving from one life form to another the in the same way we do. As a Reiki practitioner I look at an animal’s passing as it’s “transition”.  I also believe, even when they are physically gone, they don’t ever leave us.  There is a gypsy saying that if just one person remembers a loved one, that loved one is still alive in spirit.\r\n\r\nIf you are willing to look at death as a natural, profound and even beautiful part of life, it becomes easier for your animal to relax and either gets well or leaves peacefully.  I often counsel, when the time nears, to sit quietly with a Best Friend, listen as best you can, make peace with your animal friend, remember your life shared together, thank them for their time and devotion and finally, let them know that you are <i>willing</i> to let them go.\r\n\r\nSelfishly, the day before Bea died I told her she couldn’t go, that I needed her and that it was too hard to see her fail. I put the burden on my friend to handle my feelings by requiring her to continue living.  The next day she told me she had to go. I took a picture of her at that moment. There is no mistaking the look in her eyes.  We spent time that last day in thanks, and love and with Reiki, I could ease her transition gently. While the loss of Bea’s physical presence was crushing, the connection to her spirit helps me put the whole process in perspective.  Her energy transitioned from a physical form that I was able to share for 17 years to one that I am now aware of, but just can’t see.\r\n\r\nMemorializing our pets is a way to preserve memories and honor our canine friends plus, it helps to process our loss.  Rituals can focus, center, and calm us and convert something painful into something less painful. Ted Kerasote writes in his book, “Merle’s Door,” of the tribute paid by his entire community, to Merle, his amazing, yet run of the mill dog, upon his death.\r\n\r\nMerle was sent on his journey in a Native American tradition but the list of remembrances for our personal pets can be endless. For instance: light candles, plant trees or flowers, write poetry or music in tribute and memory to your Best Friend. Create a memorial plaque: I still have the marker my son, then aged 9, made for Oblio, (the best cat ever) a testament to heart, creativity and amateur carpentry. It’s one of the most precious things I own. Create a special place in your home for ashes, photos, flowers, and mementos such as collars or favorite toys. Or, send a donation, in your pet’s name to an animal related cause.\r\n\r\nPlanning for and subsequently dealing with the loss of a canine companion is possibly one of the hardest, most painful situations we encounter. Preparing for the loss will be difficult, but might be the best decision you can make to help your friend transition peacefully and with honor.  Once he is gone and your pain is omnipresent, remember that with the gift of time, you will recover and the pain will go away. Wonderful memories will remain.\r\n<div></div>', 'The last goodbye: Remembrances', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-last-goodbye-remembrances-2', '', '', '2014-11-25 22:39:43', '2014-11-26 03:39:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20032', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(20038, 4, '2014-11-25 22:44:53', '2014-11-26 03:44:53', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nFrom the popular board game, “Clue,”  the characters Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard and others were involved in a mystery of who killed whom and how and in what room. In the spirit of that game, we are going to learn about a new wine.\r\n\r\nWe’re playing in Champagne. It’s that time of year again, and I have tried to find new and/or better priced Champagnes so we all get to learn about our latest and greatest favorite discovery.\r\n\r\nAs a review, so we’re all in the same page, Champagne is a sparkling wine made in the region of northern France with that name. There are many, many sparkling wines, but just those made from grapes grown in the Champagne region and produced in that region can be called Champagne. “Real” Champagne tends to cost more than many sparkling wines, for several reasons. One is the difficulty of growing grapes at that northern a climate. The region is roughly on a parallel with New York City. Less warm weather, earlier cold fronts every year, including possible frosts before the grapes are harvested, make it hard for the grapes to fully develop their flavors and textures. The majority of Champagnes are blends of several vintages of grapes. They are allowed to use three varieties — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Different vintages do better or worse for each variety. Because they have to hold onto batches of wines, by grape variety and by vintage, there is an expense for the storage itself. Plus, we have to assume there is a charge, like interest, for not getting their money for every vintage as it is produced. Reserved wines for blending can go back even 10 years. That’s 10 years’ storage charge and 10 years’ interest charge. And, watch out if there was any inflation anywhere in those years.\r\n\r\nAdded in come expenses from very specific laws in the Champagne region that control how the wines have to be made. For non-vintage Champagne, where grapes from multiple harvests are blended together, this is the basic process: In the spring of a given year, the winemaker from House X will go into his blending room and get beakers of still wines, all three grape varieties as still wines, and mixes and tastes until he gets a “recipe” that tastes like their house cuvée. This “recipe” is then made in bulk and the cuvée is bottled. A bit of yeast and a bit of grape sugar for the yeast to work with are added into bottle. And a metal cap is put on to seal the bottle. Hundreds of bottles are made, thousands and millions even, and laid down in the cold cellars. Champagne cellars are very deep and very cold. The wines lay on their sides, with the yeast creating a second fermentation within the bottles. (The first fermentation made the grape juice into the still wines.) As the second fermentation progresses, carbon dioxide is produced (a by-product of fermenting), but the bubbles of this gas are caught in the sealed bottles. These are the bubbles that make sparkling wine. Legally, this second fermentation has to take a minimum of six months. There are Champagne houses that extend this to a year or a bit more. The longer it takes, and the cooler the temperature it occurs at, the smaller the bubbles will be. Smaller bubbles are a sign of better Champagne.\r\n\r\nAfter the second fermentation, the now sparkling wines have their metal caps popped off. All done in a specific way so that the bubbles are not lost. A bit of alcohol, usually, is added to bring the total alcohol level up to 12 percent — the point where Champagne tastes the best — and some grape sugar is added to determine the level of dryness or sweetness of the Champagne. Brut is allowed 0 to 15 grams of sugar per liter of Champagne. Legally. Then, the cork is forced into the bottle, the wire basket is wrapped around it, and the bottles lay down again. For non-vintage, this nap has to be a minimum of 15 months. And, again, good houses do more than the minimum. All of this means, if the blend made in the spring included still wine from the harvest of the Fall just before, it’s over two years since they picked the grapes that no one has been paid for anything. Minimum. When you think of the older reserve wines, from previous harvests, that were used to make the cuvée, it’s an even longer time. Think we pay for that long wait? For sure we do.\r\n\r\nFor vintage Champagne, which cannot be made every year because the grapes are not good enough every year, the laws and time minimums are stricter and longer. Some houses choose to not make, “declare,” a vintage as often. That way their reserve wines are better quality and their non-vintage Champagnes are better. When there is a vintage Champagne made, its price is definitely higher.\r\n\r\nOur Champagne find, for this year, is Moutard (moo-tard) Grande Cuvée. Moutard Père et Fils (father and sons) has been making wine for several generations, since the 17th Century. Like most Champagne producers, they own some vineyards and buy from others to get the quantity and quality of grapes they need. Their main vineyards are located in the Côte des Bar area in the southern part of the region, where the soil is made of clays and limestones: Perfect for the Champagne varieties. They are based in the town of Buxeuil, in Champagne, where old records show the family’s long commitment to “local wines.”\r\n\r\nTheir Grande Cuvée, our wine for this week, is a  non-vintage Champagne made from 100 percent Pinot Noir. A true Blanc de Noirs (white wine from black grapes) and a very rare thing in the world of house cuvées. The vines for this wine are 10 to 20 years old and the grapes are hand harvested. The first fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks. The sparkling wine, after the second fermentation, rests in their cellars for three years, long beyond the minimum 15 months. This Champagne is a brut, with 10 grams of sugar per liter. Moutard makes only 200,000 bottles at a time. Not many at all when you consider this is their primary wine. So, having some is a rarity. The wine is vibrant, lively, elegant and rich with butter, brioche and almond notes.\r\n\r\n<b>The Moutard Grande Cuvée</b> has an easy name to remember, especially if you realize “moutard” is French for mustard. Then you can think of Colonel Mustard and the drawing room and your “Clue” mystery game. And, then you can sip a glass or two.\r\n\r\nDespite the small production of this Champagne, and the uniqueness of it being all Pinot Noir, Moutard is very affordable. So don’t let it be a mystery at your house. For $35.99. Enjoy.\r\n\r\nThis Champagne can be purchased at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.\r\n<div></div>', 'What’s a great Champagne?

(20040, 4, '2014-11-25 22:47:04', '2014-11-26 03:47:04', '<b>By Jim Hicks</b>\r\n\r\nIs there any way that the waterfront portion of the Whitehall property could be secured for public use? This is the question that was posed recently by a group of individuals interested in finding a way to allow the waterfront portion of the property to remain accessible to the present and future members of the public. This is a popular objective and one which would merit the support of both the residents of Lady’s Island and the City of Beaufort. The tough part is the finding a realistic way to finance such a project.\r\n\r\nCertainly, we could do nothing and hope that a very generous and wealthy benefactor would appear on the scene, purchase the property and maintain it in its present undeveloped status available for public use. As great as that would be, the simple truth is that it is not going to happen. The property is presently in a foreclosed status and owned by a bank.  It is listed on the market with an asking price of $10.5 million. To provide the basic infrastructure necessary for development could cost in the neighborhood of another $3 million. To make the development of the property a profitable venture will require intense development. For example, a previous owner of the property planned to build 45 single family homes, 125 condominiums, a hotel and a variety of commercial buildings. It would appear there are only two alternatives to development of the Whitehall property.  Either allow the property to be developed in such a manner as to make the project economically viable or come up with some form of public-private venture which would retain the waterfront portion for public use.\r\n\r\nIn regard to a public-private venture the first vehicle which comes to mind for generating public funds for such a venture is the Tax Increment Finance District (TIF). TIF’s capture the future gains in tax revenues which are generated by growth in the tax base of a designated area. The Lady’s Island Village Center established one of the first TIF Districts in Beaufort County in 2000. However, at the end of 5 years there was insufficient growth to generate a significant amount of funds and the TIF was allowed to expire.  An alternate method of establishing a public private venture for the Whitehall property could be the purchase of the property by a private developer who was willing to sell a portion of the waterfront property for development into a passive type of park. For example, the Open Land Trust or the Rural and Critical Land Program might purchase the actual property, followed by development of the land by the City of Beaufort and with the financial help of Beaufort County, transforming it into a passive park similar to the present Waterfront Park.\r\n\r\nFor the waterfront portion of the Whitehall property to become a passive park could be a win for all concerned (developer, City of Beaufort, Beaufort County and Lady’s Island). For such a thing to actually happen would require the stars to align exactly right and an almost unprecedented degree of cooperation, between a developer and a wide variety of organizations and governments. But wouldn’t it be great if future generations could continue to enjoy a portion of the Whitehall property as a passive park. If given such an opportunity in the future, should we not at least give it a try?\r\n<div></div>', 'Can Whitehall be saved for future generations’ enjoyment?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'can-whitehall-be-saved-for-future-generations-enjoyment', '', '', '2014-11-25 22:47:04', '2014-11-26 03:47:04', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20040', 0, 'post', '', 0);
