This Savannah-based performer has a long-standing gig at Jazz’d and other downtown clubs, and has played the Lucas Theatre’s Cabaret Series several times. If there is performer “royalty” in the Lowcountry, Trae Gurley is it. However, he is very humble and down-to-earth about his career and how he got his start.\r\n\r\nDescribing himself as “one of Sinatra’s biggest fans”, he has studied the life, sound, and even movements of the crooner in order to better honor his memory. Some of those stories about Sinatra’s life will also find their way into his performance at ARTworks, as he interacts with both the audience and his pianist, Kim Steiner, a member of the Performance Arts Department at SCAD and a former Broadway music director.\r\n\r\nThe small size of the ARTworks theatre, lends its self to a cabaret style show, and Gurley promises to deliver an intimate performance that includes sentimental favorites like “Night And Day”, “One For My Baby”, and “Autumn Leaves.”\r\n\r\nThe performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14th at ARTworks, 2127 Boundary Street, Beaufort, in Beaufort Town Center.

Beaufort’s Civic Master Plan identified this area as having good potential for this type of development.\r\n\r\nIn return, the developers agreed to improve Lafayette Street through planned on-street parking, street lights and a sidewalk while preserving the younger live oak trees along the street. The focal point of the project is the small park on the corner.\r\n\r\n“It’s exciting that our many months of hard work and deliberations about this project are coming to fruition,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Beaufort Redevelopment Commission. “Not only are we partnering to create more affordable housing and to redevelop one of our older neighborhoods, but we are also putting formerly vacant city-owned land back on the tax rolls.”\r\n\r\nThe new cottages likely will be served by a rear alley to keep cars and trash cans off the street for a better overall appearance. A natural landscape buffer is also maintained in the rear behind the alley for privacy, stormwater management and to save many old growth trees, Brown said.\r\n\r\nCompletion of the first cottages is expected to be completed in late spring 2015 and units are available for both reservations and customization.  For more information, visit www.lafayetteproject.com.', 'Lafayette Street redevelopment takes root', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lafayette-street-redevelopment-takes-root', '', '', '2014-11-13 11:44:56', '2014-11-13 16:44:56', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19862', 0, 'post', '', 0),

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.

(19869, 4, '2014-11-13 11:51:46', '2014-11-13 16:51:46', '<b>By Martha O’Regan</b>\r\n\r\nThis question rose up in me several months ago and I jotted it down like I do when something comes to mind that doesn’t feel like my own — something that is deep but feels really important to ponder. 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.

A live band played on the deck as guests danced and laughed, enjoying the company and the slight breeze off the waterway beyond.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_19884\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Profile-McCormicks-11-13.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-19884\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Profile-McCormicks-11-13-300x277.jpg\" alt=\"Jean and Harvey McCormick\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" /></a> Jean and Harvey McCormick[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhen the band paused between songs, Harvey got on the microphone and gave a toast to his wife, Jean, of 25 years in celebration of her 50th birthday. 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),

Teams are judged by a panel of cheerleading experts on difficulty and execution.\r\n\r\nIn Monday’s Lower State Finals, Beaufort outdistanced the second-place finisher by 20 points. In the State 3A finals, they will compete against 15 similar-sized schools from across South Carolina, including perennial powerhouse Chapin High School.\r\n\r\nThe finals will be held Saturday, Nov. 15, at Bon Secours Arena in Greenville.\r\n\r\n“Competitive cheer is a huge leap from what most people think of when they think of cheerleading,” Zimmerman said. “Our team has a great time cheering for Beaufort High’s sports teams, but the competitions are our chance to put it all together in a showcase of stunts, tumbling and dance. 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.

Schools, churches and other organizations have also participated in the drive. When it first started in 1990, FWDG collected over 300 coats. In recent years, it has averaged  over 1,500 coats, even reaching 3,000 at one point.

The coat drive started on November 1 and ends on December 31. This year, FWDG at 745 Robert Smalls Parkway, Carolina Stamper at 203 Carteret Street, and Coldwell Banker Platinum Partners, 1211 Boundary St.,  will be drop-off points in  Northern Beaufort County.

(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),
(19923, 4, '2014-11-20 13:34:08', '2014-11-20 18:34:08', '<b>By Noel Tillman</b>\r\n\r\nBig events come and go in Beaufort.  They leave us with a sense of pride in what a small town on the sea can do when it works as a community. 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.

(19933, 4, '2014-11-20 13:38:40', '2014-11-20 18:38:40', '<b> By Alan Schuster</b>\r\n\r\nRossini, like Mozart, was quick, clever and gifted when it came to meeting short deadlines imposed upon them by theatre impresarios. “The Barber of Seville” is a good example. 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. Michele Mariotti conducts.\r\n\r\nAll seats are general admission. Adults, $20; OLLI members, $18; Students, $10.

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.

(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. It is a great honor to represent those who love and care for millions of aged, infirm, disabled and dying Americans every year.”\r\n<div></div>', 'November is home and hospice care month', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'november-is-home-and-hospice-care-month', '', '', '2014-11-20 14:25:51', '2014-11-20 19:25:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19958', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This glimpse of glory isn’t the calm before the storm, it’s the calming of the storm in our minds that most of us have lived with so long we don’t notice any longer.\r\n\r\nFor those thrill seekers out there, it’s the moment when you snatch life from the Grim Reaper’s boney grasp.\r\n\r\nFor the sports nuts out there, it’s the moment when you pull off the impossible golf shot to win the Green Jacket. Reference Bubba Watson’s satori on the 10th hole of the 2012 Masters as he banana-hooked his ball off the pine straw, out of the woods, and into golf immortality.\r\n\r\nFor the writers, it’s getting that 3 a.m. call of the pen.\r\n\r\nFor the searchers of Zen, it’s that moment when you’re truly in the now. When the five senses, in addition to that all-important sixth sense, culminate to shove aside the past victories and future defeats, and you hear God’s whisper clearly in a moment of stillness.\r\n\r\nWe all pursue it, whatever “it” is. 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.

And with the pressure to “keep the peace” during the holidays, victims may be even less likely to report incidents of abuse, further perpetuating the cycle of violence.\r\n\r\nAs we approach a new year, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office hopes to encourage our community to join us in the goal of reducing domestic violence not only during the holidays, but also in the year to come.\r\n\r\nTo improve the likelihood of actually reducing both initial and repeat offenses of domestic violence, a more comprehensive approach is necessary; one that includes the support and collaboration of ALL responsible government agencies and community nonprofit organizations.\r\n\r\nUnifying all available resources and exploring new approaches to domestic violence is a mission worthy to the health of our community, our state, and our country.', 'News briefs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'news-briefs-96', '', '', '2014-11-20 14:28:32', '2014-11-20 19:28:32', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=19962', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Chambers Waterfront Park.[/caption]\r\n\r\nExcept for the time spent in Columbia attending the University of South Carolina, Stephanie has lived her entire life in Beaufort. Her father, Robert “Bobby” Greene, is a loan officer at Palmetto Finance on Lady’s Island and her mother, Patsye Greene, is the Register of Deeds for Jasper County.\r\n\r\nStephanie says that after college she wanted a career that would allow her to make a difference in people’s lives. Her passion for the elderly and love of the Beaufort community were also elements that made the position at River Oaks a good fit for her.\r\n\r\n“I never know if I am going to be the last smile someone sees or the last laugh they hear or the last person to tell them good morning or I love you. I come to work every day knowing I can make someone’s day better,” she says.\r\n\r\nEven though she refers to River Oaks residents as her grandparents, Stephanie says she didn’t expect to get so attached to them and their families.\r\n\r\n“I love the fact that I am able to maintain a personal relationship with all of them. 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. She is one of the redefining founders of the Lowcountry Jaycees and serves as the marketing and membership coordinator for the organization.

The show stars Aunt Pearlie Sue, a nationally acclaimed singer, writer, storyteller and teacher. It also features the Gullah Kinfolk, a cast of 20 professional singers and dancers and is intended for people of all ages and races. The performance takes place during the final Christmas before the Civil War in 1860 shortly after South Carolina seceded from the Union when passions are high with hopes for freedom. 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. For more information on these events, visit www.downtownbeaufort.com.\r\n\r\n“We want to share our yuletide blessings with great Gullah food, art and foot-stopping singing and dancing,” Singleton-Prather said.\r\n\r\n“This was a difficult time in our history, but we focus on the positive and plan on delighting everyone in our audience.”\r\n\r\nTickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Admission is $10 for those aged 7 to 17.

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.

(19994, 4, '2014-11-20 15:45:11', '2014-11-20 20:45:11', 'Penn Center on St. Helena Island is hosting a Civil Rights Symposium to recognize and commemorate the anniversary of the founding of Penn School and its important role in United States history. 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. Smalls, Director of History, Art &amp; Culture at Penn Center 843-838-2432 or info@penncenter.com.\r\n\r\n<strong>IF YOU GO:</strong>\r\n\r\n<b>When: </b><b>Friday, November 21 at 9 a.m. to Saturday, November 22 at 8 p.m.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Where:</b><b> </b><b>Penn Center, 16 Penn Center Circle West, St. Helena Island, SC, 29920</b>\r\n\r\n<b>What</b><b>:</b><b> There will be a series of free dicussions with guest speakers throughout the two days.

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?

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);

Moreover, what if that call required you to move your career from your hometown after more than 30 years to a new community and launch a service ministry clothing the needy and feeding the hungry? How many of us would heed or act on such a call?\r\n\r\nSuch was the vision and response of the Rev. Anne Bridgers of Port Royal United Methodist Church. A happily married wife and school teacher in Ridgeland, SC, for more than 29 years, Anne Bridgers heeded a call to a life of ministry and compassion after her husband passed away in 2009.  Less than two years after his death, Anne’s call had been verified by the Methodist church and she had completed every required entrance test for her pastoral ministry — including psychological, financial, educational and vocational exams. She continues her studies at Duke University Divinity School.\r\n\r\nUpon her installation as a Methodist pastor in July, 2011, Anne (now Rev. Bridgers) was appointed to the Port Royal United Methodist Church in the Walterboro District. In 2012, after witnessing first-hand members of the surrounding community search for clothes and food for their families, Rev. Bridgers asked the women of her church to help the community by establishing a free clothing ministry known as “Phoebe’s Closet.” Donated clothes, shoes, baby items, school uniforms and household goods are assembled by the church’s women volunteers. The formerly one room “closet” is now expanding to three rooms full of daily necessities and is open on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon for the needy.\r\n\r\nNot long after establishing Phoebe’s Closet, Rev. Bridgers and her welcoming volunteers once again responded to a community need, this time, hunger.   At first, they were distributing 650 pounds of food a week to those in need.  Now, every Friday morning, more than a dozen volunteer assistants meet the Second Helpings truck in their church parking lot and immediately set to work to distribute 2,000 pounds of food to more than 50 waiting recipients, some of whom have been patiently standing in line since 5:30 a.m. The recipients, in turn, share what they receive with their families, elderly neighbors who are house bound, children without parents, and military families without sufficient resources, nearly 400 people each week.  True to her calling, Rev. Bridgers does more than hand out food. She says a greeting prayer with the recipients, asks about their health and well being and seeks assistance for those who ask for help with medical or other needs.\r\n\r\nHow fortunate for the Port Royal community that Anne Bridgers heeded her call.\r\n\r\nIf you feel a call to serve or assist, Rev. Bridgers and her team could use your help.  Phoebe’s Closet is located at the Port Royal United Methodist Church, 1602 Columbia Ave., Port Royal, SC. For more information, contact the church at 843-524-2005. They especially need small shampoos, soaps, baby diapers, toilet paper, and paper towels. The Friday feeding ministry can always use assistants.\r\n\r\nCome be a part of a compassionate life.\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: A vision for compassionate service in Port Royal', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'compassionate-beaufort-communities-a-vision-for-compassionate-service-in-port-royal', '', '', '2014-11-25 22:48:33', '2014-11-26 03:48:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20042', 0, 'post', '', 0),

And my name was Luigi.\r\n\r\nWhen I woke up I realized two things. First of all,  I am not a mall person and second, as far as I know, there are no malls close to me. Where did that dream come from?  Suddenly it dawned on me: The Super Mario Brothers.\r\n\r\nI have actually been practicing the video game Mario Kart on my Wii (a gift from my daughter). My husband will tell you that I am a bit competitive, so my lack of skills at this race car game is bothersome. I know that playing Mario Kart is not top on my list of the things to do here in the Lowcountry, but evidently, my subconscious is telling me something. I must practice before I see my 5-year-old grandson Finnegan.\r\n\r\nHe is ruthless in the game and I can hear his voice the last time we played: “I have passed you again, Nina,” he smirks with those big dimples. How do I ever beat this kid? My player, Luigi, did not cooperate and my poor little dune buggy kept getting turned around and going backwards. I was totally out of my league with Finn as he soared past me multiple times and said  “I’m on lap 3.”\r\n\r\nI was born in a generation where the most significant equivalent to a video game was a little portable plastic pinball machine. You pulled the red lever, the ball would snap out and your task was to maneuver the ball to the end of the maze. I think Cracker Jack had a miniature cardboard version of this game.\r\n\r\nNow, I do think it is important for young children to know the thrill of winning but frankly, I think he is the one who should be deferring to me.\r\n\r\nHence my dreaming about a mall. But it dawned at me that I don’t need to go running around malls on a video game.  When Finn comes to visit, I will let him beat me a few times at the game. Then I will take him out for some memorable games, such as counting shooting stars, or seeing who can see the sun rise first at Hunting Beach or counting dolphins in the creek. Now those are games I can dream about.\r\n<div></div>', 'Playing games in my dreams', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'playing-games-in-my-dreams', '', '', '2014-11-25 22:49:53', '2014-11-26 03:49:53', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20044', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Such a narrative scene harkens straight from a clip in HBO’s first episode of “The Newsroom” when Jeff Daniel’s character Will McAvoy rallies his best journalistic self to the surprise and adulation of the audience. The difference here, a lively discussion about works of fiction by South Carolinian authors on a stage with Pat Conroy.\r\n\r\nThe University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts in partnership with the University of South Carolina Press presents an evening with  New York Times best-selling author and Story River Books editor-at-large Pat Conroy on Monday, December 8 at 6 p.m. with Beaufort writers John Warley (“A Southern Girl”); Bernie Schein (“Famous all over Town”); Maggie Schein (“Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves”); and artist Jonathan Hannah.\r\n\r\n“This evening provides a tremendous opportunity to listen to the featured authors’ personal stories behind the stories they write,” says Bonnie Hargrove, director of USCB’s Center for the Arts.\r\n\r\nStory River Books brands and expands University of South Carolina Press’ commitment to publishing top-notch regional fiction under Conroy’s editorship and actively seeks to publish writers who share their anchorage to South Carolina. Open to original novels and short story collections, the imprint emphasizes an inclusive representation of Palmetto State writers by race, gender, and geography. Story River Books publishes books in which South Carolina is the main if not always exclusive setting. While the books may diverge greatly in style and themes, they collectively present new perspectives on the dynamic, complex, and oft-contested past and present of a recognizable South Carolina for readers both within and beyond the Palmetto State.\r\n\r\n“South Carolina has given me a million stories and no writer who ever lived had such riches to choose from. This is the reason I offered to edit the Story River Books series for USC Press. What I owe South Carolina is not repayable, but I started out as a kid in Beaufort who wanted to be a writer and I didn’t have the slightest notion how to become one. With this new fiction imprint, I believe I can help bring out voices in this state that might not be heard otherwise, and those as-of-yet unheard voices can help reshape our world,” says Conroy.\r\n\r\nTickets are $20 and can be ordered online at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling the box office at 843-521-4145. New releases by these Story River Books authors and illustrator will be available for sale and autographing after the presentation.

While recalls and lead violations are down; 180,000 toy-related child injuries were reported last year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.\r\n\r\nThe commission released a report about toy safety. Buyers are warned to be vigilant, even as stronger federal rules and safety-conscious toy makers and sellers are making an impact when it comes to toy safety.\r\n\r\n“Strong toy standards support the production of safer toys in the marketplace,” said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. “Parents and toy shoppers also always need to be vigilant by choosing age appropriate toys and keeping small parts, balls, and balloons out of the hands of young children.”\r\n\r\nThe commission reports toy-related deaths to children younger than 15 increased to 17 fatalities reported in 2010, up from 15 reported in 2009. Nearly half of these toy-related fatalities were attributed to choking on balloons, small balls, and rubber balls.\r\n\r\nAs you’re shopping this year, here are a few safety tips from CPSC to keep in mind:\r\n\r\n<b>• Balloons:</b> Children can choke or suffocate on deflated or broken balloons. Keep deflated balloons away from children younger than 8 years old. Discard broken balloons at once.\r\n\r\n<b>• Small balls and other toys with small parts:</b> For children younger than age 3, avoid toys with small parts, which can cause choking.\r\n\r\n<b>• Scooters and other riding toys: </b>Riding toys, skateboards, and in-line skates go fast, and falls could be deadly. Helmets and safety gear should be worn properly at all times, and they should be sized to fit.\r\n\r\n<b>• Magnets:</b> For children under age 6, avoid building or play sets with small magnets. If magnets or pieces with magnets are swallowed, serious injuries and/or death can occur.\r\n\r\nOnce the gifts are open:\r\n\r\n• Immediately discard plastic wrappings or other packaging on toys before they become dangerous play things.\r\n\r\n• Keep toys appropriate for older children away from younger siblings.\r\n\r\n• Charging batteries should be supervised by adults. Chargers and adapters can pose thermal burn hazards to young children. Pay attention to instructions and warnings on battery chargers.

(20060, 4, '2014-11-27 23:12:04', '2014-11-28 04:12:04', '<b>By Susan Stone</b>\r\n\r\nAbout a month ago, a dear friend was doing a session with me and he mentioned how much he enjoyed my last article. He went on to say that he noticed how often I quote other people like Nelson Mandela and my teacher, Marian. As though Spirit was speaking directly to me, he asked; “So what is the word according to Susan?\r\n\r\nI was stumped. I was speechless, and I had no answer. If you have ever met me, you will know I have an answer for everything. So I knew this was big. I thought I was writing/speaking my truth. I have sat with this question now for over a month and I have had several discussions on this topic with many people whom I consider great teachers. I even called Marian. But no one had the answer I was looking for. And really, how could they? The question was not, “What is the word according to them.” My answer had to come from within.\r\n\r\nHave you ever thought about what you really know? Is it possible to even have an original thought? Every morsel of information we have gathered in our brain has come from somewhere else! Our parents taught us first and then our teachers filled our heads full of quotes, facts and philosophy. We extract our knowledge and belief systems from the world, but do we even ask the question: Is it true? Do we pause long enough to run it through our own filters and discern for ourselves the authenticity of the message? Or, do we go with the flow? Do we jump on each other’s band wagons because we want to belong to something greater than ourselves?\r\n\r\nFinding your own still and quiet voice is not as easy as it sounds, and yet it is. The key here is being still and quiet. This does not come naturally for me. I am compelled to do, to work, to create. Sitting still is for people who eat brown rice. And yet, it is always in stillness that I find my answers and my peace.\r\n\r\nI was taught to keep the peace from the time I was able to talk. We were not to rock the boat in my house. No one cared what a child had to say, nor were they interested in how we felt about any given situation. I was raised in a “children are to be seen and not heard” sort of household. So from the start, I was taught to “stuff” whatever unpleasant feelings I had back inside where it wouldn’t make anyone else feel uncomfortable. When I grew older, I became the ultimate diplomat. I have counseled and refereed so many disputes over the years, it sort of astonishes me.  I have been known as a peacemaker for as long as I can remember.\r\n\r\nMy fuse is so long that it gives people the impression that they can say anything, or do anything to me and I won’t get angry and I won’t run away. I will stay and resolve any transgression with as much love as I can muster. And if the relationship cannot be repaired or the conflict cannot be resolved, I send them off with my blessing and wish them a happy life.\r\n\r\nWell, this was not the case yesterday! I guess I was tired. I need a root canal. I haven’t been able to eat for two weeks and I’m hungry! So the perfect storm presented itself, and I blew. Not just angry, I came unhinged and lost complete control of myself. I screamed and yelled and wore myself out!\r\n\r\nBoy, did that feel good. I have been holding this particular thing inside for far too long. I was angry and I stopped pretending that I wasn’t. I felt so relieved! I finally spoke the word (plus a few four letter words) according to me. And you know what? The world did not end.\r\n\r\nSo, what is the word ... according to you?\r\n\r\n<i>You can find Susan Stone at Beaufort Chiropractic. She is an Intuitive healer, Reiki Master, minister and counselor.

The arrangement was finalized Monday.\r\n\r\nBridges Prep serves students in kindergarten through sixth grade, but will begin adding additional grades each year, starting with seventh grade in the 2015 school year.

Previously, she taught World Languages in Beaufort County’s public schools. Before entering the education field, she worked in media management, production and advertising in New York City and Latin America for major firms such as Young &amp; Rubicam, Big magazine, BlackBook, and Art+Commerce.\r\n\r\nHer educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Literature and Linguistics, with a minor in French and she graduated Cum Laude from Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile. Blanc also earned a Master’s degree in Media Studies from The New School University in New York City, and participated in New York University’s College of Arts &amp; Science Exchange Program.\r\n\r\n“We have potential to be an exceptional charter school, and my goal is to help us achieve all that we can be,” Blanc said.\r\n\r\n“I believe in this school, this staff and these students. I know that if we take this as an opportunity as a united staff to show that a distributed leadership model can work, if we focus on clear duties, relationships, involvement and effective support systems, we can demonstrate to our board, to the county and the state that we do have a unique, grand vision, and that it is possible to reform public education,” she said.\r\n\r\nLast May, Bridges Prep, a Paideia and STEM-infused charter school located in downtown Beaufort, finalized an agreement with the Boys &amp; Girls Club to purchase the facility at 1100 Boundary Street. The facility purchase is the first of its kind for area charter schools and allows Bridges to control its future.\r\n\r\nBridges Prep officials are filing the USDA loan application package this week for funding of the new addition and renovation of what will become the new K-8 facility.  If approved, construction is proposed to begin in the spring.\r\n\r\nAs a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in South Carolina and students come from Beaufort, Port Royal, Burton, St. Helena Island, Okatie, Bluffton, and Jasper and Hampton counties.\r\n\r\n“Being in the heart of historic Beaufort means our local community truly is our extended classroom — USCB, the Technical College of the Lowcountry, the city’s parks and athletic fields, the downtown county library,” Blanc said. “It’s one part of what makes Bridges so special to many of our families; we are the one area charter that is purposefully redefining the relationship between education and urbanism.”\r\n\r\nFor more information, visit www.bridgesprep.org.', 'Bridges Prep reorganizes leadership to move forward', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bridges-prep-reorganizes-leadership-to-move-forward', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:29', '2018-07-12 15:00:29', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20068', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Dr. Klenke, a member of the medical staff at Beaufort Memorial, has two rescue dogs of her own — a bull terrier (Matilda) and a beagle (Jebodiah).\r\n\r\n“When I bundle up to walk my dogs, I can’t help but worry about animals that don’t have a warm place to call home,” she said.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20103\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/AudreyTrevorandKids.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20103\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/AudreyTrevorandKids-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Trevor and Audrey Klenke of Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and their rescue dogs, Jebodiah and Matilda.

The Klenke’s are kicking off a “Blankets for Botox” promotion on Thursday, Dec. 4 to raise awareness for shelter animals.[/caption]\r\n\r\nDr. Klenke wanted to find a creative way to do something worthwhile for local animal shelters this year.  So, she and her staff came up with an idea to collect items for shelters by offering customers a special gift. Called “Blankets for Botox,” the concept is simple: anyone who donates a new or gently used blanket or pet toy for a shelter animal, will receive a gift card worth $50 off a Botox treatment of $199 or more.\r\n\r\nPinnacle will kick off the campaign next Thursday, December 4 by inviting the public to bring a blanket or pet toy to their holiday party. The celebration runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and guests will be treated to an array of holiday themed refreshments and door prizes. Several furry friends from Palmetto Animal League are expected to attend, as well.\r\n\r\nCollection of the supplies will continue through December 23, 2014 at Pinnacle’s Sheridan Park office, 7 Mallett Way in Bluffton, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. One blanket or pet toy is all it takes to get a $50 gift card that can be used toward a Botox treatment, but it is limited to one gift card per person.\r\n\r\nAll of the blankets and toys donated will go to Palmetto Animal League (PAL), a private, non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization, which will share the supplies with local shelters in need.\r\n\r\n“We can only take in so many animals from these shelters at a time, so sharing supplies is another way we can help make the animals more comfortable and cared for while they are waiting for a home,” says PAL’s president, Amy Campanini. “These are small rural shelters that have little resources, but big hearts, and they make the most of what they have.”\r\n\r\nPinnacle will also accept other donations — including cash or gift cards to places like Target or Walmart, enabling PAL staff to purchase food and other necessities — however these gifts are not applicable to the special offer.\r\n\r\n“This mission is very close to our hearts,” says Dr. Klenke, pointing out that every member of her Pinnacle Plastic Surgery team cherishes at least one family pet — and that she’d have several more if her husband would let her.\r\n\r\n“Our goal with Blankets for Botox is two-fold. We want to collect as many blankets as possible to keep our four-legged friends cozy, but we also want to draw attention to the hundreds of animals waiting for a ‘furr-ever’ home this winter.”\r\n\r\nFor more information about Blankets for Botox, call Pinnacle at 815-6699 or visit PinnaclePlasticSurgeryMD.com.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20122\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/waitingbyJohnWollwerth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20122\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/waitingbyJohnWollwerth-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"“Waiting” by John Wollwerth\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> “Waiting” by John Wollwerth[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20123\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Dachau-Washroom1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20123\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Dachau-Washroom1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\" “Dachau Washroom” by Lynne Schuman\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> “Dachau Washroom” by Lynne Schuman[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20124\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"199\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/God-Country-The-Corps-by-Sharon-Wise.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20124\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/God-Country-The-Corps-by-Sharon-Wise-199x300.jpg\" alt=\" “God, Country and the Corps” by Sharon Wise\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" /></a> “God, Country and the Corps” by Sharon Wise[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20125\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"235\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Long-Lonely-Path_Albert-Heacox_PCoB.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20125\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Long-Lonely-Path_Albert-Heacox_PCoB-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Long Lonely Path&quot; by Albert Heacox\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" /></a> \"Long Lonely Path\" by Albert Heacox[/caption]\r\n\r\n<div></div>', 'Impressions in Black & White', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'impressions-in-black-white', '', '', '2014-11-28 00:02:03', '2014-11-28 05:02:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20121', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Smaller  .410 shotguns were also available for children to shoot under strict adult supervision.\r\n\r\nThere was reunion-like atmosphere as old friends came together near a 55-gallon drum with a lively fire burring in it; questions of family health and how many grandchildren had come into the world since they had seen each other last. Whole families, some with three generations at once, participated and shot in multiple relays hoping to win one of the big birds.\r\n\r\nVan Dam said the nonprofit club had 46 relays with 20 shooters per relay, each paying $2 per shell for a chance to win turkeys, hams and full meal prizes as well as three door prizes.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20128\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DSC4334.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20128\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DSC4334-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Averill, center, of Beaufort, checks his daughter Blythe, 7, for hearing protection before her brother Caden, 9, fires his .410 shotgun\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" /></a> Kevin Averill, center, of Beaufort, checks his daughter Blythe, 7, for hearing protection before her brother Caden, 9, fires his .410 shotgun[/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20129\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DSC4342_2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20129\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DSC4342_2-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting with the men, 9-year-old Caden Averill takes aim at a paper target 25 yards away.

This floor-to-ceiling interactive sensory device is both calming to children with sensory disorders and a prime motivator for other children receiving care.\r\n\r\nThe celebration was capped with a decadent display of pies — apple, cherry, pecan, banana cream, and of course, pumpkin, all created by the hospital’s Executive Chef Eric Sayers and his staff.\r\n\r\nEveryone left with a boxed up slice of pie and an appreciation for all the foundation does for the hospital and the community.\r\n\r\nAs a not-for-profit hospital, any net revenue Beaufort Memorial generates is reinvested in the hospital to help ensure that BMH is providing the very best patient care with the most advanced technology.  But with over $20 million spent each year on charity and indigent care, patient revenue alone can’t provide everything that Beaufort Memorial needs to stay cutting-edge in equipment and training.\r\n\r\nThat’s where the BMH Foundation comes into play. The foundation oversees the management of charitable funds to benefit the not-for-profit hospital. Thanks to gifts of all sizes from the community, the BMH Foundation has been able to support important programs and services and purchase valuable equipment.\r\n\r\n“The hospital couldn’t do all that it does without funds from the foundation,” said Rick Toomey, BMH’s President and CEO.\r\n\r\nFor more information, visit www.bmhfoundationsc.org.\r\n<div></div>', 'BMH Foundation provides ‘slice of pie’', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bmh-foundation-provides-slice-of-pie', '', '', '2014-11-28 00:09:49', '2014-11-28 05:09:49', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20132', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Our production has all three! Plus, you can pick up some extra cheer — wassail, cocoa and more spirits than Scrooge finds in his room on Christmas Eve — at the ARTworks bar for a donation. Carry those concoctions into the theater and enjoy!”\r\n\r\nWhile Hornsby was aware that some consider “A Christmas Carol” to be “stodgy or old-fashioned,” he wanted to create a stage story with humor both gentle and broad and found that while adapting Dickens’ play, he continually noted how relevant much of the play’s nearly 150-year-old themes are today.\r\n\r\nBlufftonian Ellie Friedman Beck, who auditioned to play Fan, Scrooge’s sister, nearly two decades ago but was never cast, gets to watch her daughter, Lily, take on that role. A lifelong fan of “A Christmas Carol,” Beck recalls, as a little girl, turning “an empty wrapping paper tube into a crutch, pretending to be Tiny Tim!  I’d go around the house saying, ‘God bless us, every one!’ and forced my parents to speak with English accents.”\r\n\r\nOther ensemble members are Alan Lathan, Henry Drier, Benjamin Morgan, Eddie Watson, Alan Purdy, Anne Errington, Jessica Lopes,\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20146\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"275\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Cratchitt-Family-Portrait.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20146\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Cratchitt-Family-Portrait-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bob Cratchit and his family, with Tiny Tim on his lap.

(20157, 4, '2014-12-04 01:48:44', '2014-12-04 06:48:44', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWe just came through the Day of Gratitude around a groaning dining table and we declared gratefulness for friends, family and the beautiful day.  How many of us reserved a few moments to consider the many reasons to feel thankful for our Best Friends. Next time you’re giving thanks, remember to honor the ones who don’t judge but actually love, the ones that live with you without rules and expectations, the ones that will always give you unconditional loyalty.\r\n\r\nHere are some of MY reasons to be thankful for dogs:\r\n\r\n<b>10. </b>No matter what food product drops on the floor, a Best Friend will hoover it up before actually considering what it is.  Once it’s on the floor, anything is food. A dog is the finest accessory to child-rearing: they’ll catch the highchair spillover before it hits the floor, clean up messy baby splooges and always be available to assist with messy faces and fingers. They’ll catch the crumbs you can’t even see.\r\n\r\n<b>9. </b>When you’re down and out with the flu, hacking and snotting and leaving a trail of bacteria wherever you go, and your family and friends will not come near you, your dog will ever be at your side. He’ll be your mobile heating pad, curled against your aching back, he’ll shuffle along with you when you get another cup of tea and he’ll keep his head near your hand in case you need some reassurance that you’ll live to see the next day.\r\n\r\n<b>8.</b> Your dog will bark like mad when someone pulls in the drive or a stranger comes to the door. It’s nice to have a feeling of security.\r\n\r\n<b>7. </b>If not for our dogs, many of us would never get off the couch. Every day at the same time our Best Friends give us The Look, that persistent stare that means “Let’s go for a walk!!! Huh?Huh?Huh?”  That walk is your dog’s connection to the world, and yours, too. Think about all the nice people you’ve met, the early evening sunset you would otherwise have missed if you weren’t on the road, as well as the extra pounds you did not gain because you and your Best Friend moved your tails.\r\n\r\n<b>6.</b> A dog’s loyalty cannot be measured. They are willing to revel in the glory or keep quiet and take the blame. They will not smirk when you’re naked, laugh at your singing or gossip to the neighbor dogs about your episodes of questionable behavior. They will never disclose who done it.\r\n\r\n<b>5.</b> Our dogs don’t care how many countries we’ve visited, what car we drive or what people we know. In their eyes, we’re number one all the time. It’s a tall order to always be on top but their devotion is a great reminder of our jobs to make sure we provide them the best care, training and attention we can offer. “Be the person your dog thinks you are” is a great reminder of how special we are to them each and every day.\r\n\r\n<b>4. </b>Our dogs know the value of sitting in a sunbeam. There are times we need to be reminded of that.\r\n\r\n<b>3. </b>Dogs put things in perspective. Let’s face it, at some point in our lives with our pets something is going to get chewed, thrown up on or otherwise ruined. The best we can do is realize that the shoes, carpets and all the other things they get into are just objects. We’ll never love any of that stuff as much as we love our dogs and as impossible as it seems, we will get over having to throw out the really expensive, designer, prescription, chewed-up eyeglasses.\r\n\r\n<b>2. </b>Dogs will make you smile when they run with abandon for no particular reason and to no particular destination.\r\n\r\n<b>1. </b>And finally, every day we can wake up and watch our dogs embrace each new morning as if it is going to be grand. They don’t look back; they don’t worry about the future. They do not hold the past. They assume all is great. I try to learn from them because I think they Get It. I think they really know what it means to live each day as if it’s the only day, and live it to the fullest. I am so grateful for dogs. What great teachers they are.\r\n<div></div>', 'Ten reasons to be thankful for your dog', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ten-reasons-to-be-thankful-for-your-dog', '', '', '2014-12-04 01:48:44', '2014-12-04 06:48:44', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20157', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I tucked them in with teddy bears to cuddle in the night.  And during the cold winter months, I would cover them with a blanket.\r\n\r\nAs for safety, I strapped them into a Peterson car seat, with the red horn, which was placed securely in the front passenger seat next to me. When we would go on family trips, the back seat would be folded down and we would spread out sleeping bags and lots of pillows so they could sleep. I made peanut butter cookies for the school parties and a Chex Mix treat with pretzels and nuts that all the students loved. Based on the times, I think I did pretty well as a parent. However, based on today’s standards, I was a horrible parent!\r\n\r\nThere are so many differences in the way I raised my children and the way my grandchildren are being raised. The warning labels are everywhere! Products and practices common when I had children are considered unsafe. But when I look at how my grandchildren are being raised compared to how I was raised, my parents should have been arrested.\r\n\r\nWe were sent out to play in the morning and told to come home at lunch time. We devoured endless pounds of candy at Halloween that was never pre-inspected.  We always had red Kool-aid in the refrigerator during the summer and the playground consisted of a cement paved area with a tall slide and hanging bars.   We would leap off the high dive board at the pool and ride our bicycles all over the neighborhood.  As one of eight children we were crammed into the family station wagon on seats that were incredibly hot in the summer!  Entertainment on a long trip was singing “A hundred bottles of beer on the wall” or naming state license plates.\r\n\r\nEach generation has their own way of raising children based on the information on hand. I am grateful that despite my parents’ neglect, I survived and I am glad my children survived my parenting.  But watching my grandchildren, I realize how much I would have loved to be born now. Air conditioning in the car; padded car seats that look incredibly comfortable; little cup holders for Sippy cups; and strollers that look like my leather recliner.  And  the ultimate luxury — a DVD player with little headphones so they can watch their Disney movies.\r\n\r\nBut despite all the new changes in child rearing, I am sure my parents did the best they could for me, and my husband and I did the best we could for our children.

My ambition paid off, and even though I had a 15-month-old in tow, I was able to find gifts for a variety of family members, mostly thanks to Lulu Burgess owner Nan Sutton and her lovely staff offering to hold and entertain aforementioned baby (my daughter Selah, who can be very adorable, but also very stubborn, thus making browsing a bit of a challenge). But I got my scarf, and being that it was Small Business Saturday, they also gave me a nice “Shop Small” tote bag for free.\r\n\r\nAs I headed down Bay Street after my spree, I passed Sweet Bay, where they were just opening and the friendly owner offered to take a picture of me and Selah in front of Santa and Mrs. Claus, which was part of a festive display at the front of the store. I sat down on a decorative chair, and the photo came out cute, a perfect way to document my outing.\r\n\r\nI continued down Bay, and went  to Greenfish Gallery, where I bought some other locally made gifts. Then I ended up at Palm &amp; Moon and ordered my favorite bagel sandwich to go.\r\n\r\nBy then my tiny helper was melting down and wouldn’t let me hold her hand to keep her from running right into the street, so I knew it was time to go home.

(20166, 4, '2014-12-04 01:55:08', '2014-12-04 06:55:08', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nSo, we’ve made it through the first holiday. Only two to go. Having settled down, just slightly, from the first hubba hubba weekend, we do need to keep moving so that we aren’t caught unprepared for the next ones coming. Especially, with the next two holidays only one week apart from each other, and one of them being a big shopping holiday and one of them being a big drinking night.\r\n\r\nThe focus of this article is meant to clarify a question that stems from the labels on some wines: What do specific words mean?\r\n\r\nAs we all know, many wines are blends, meaning they are made from more than one grape variety. Since our new wine this week is from California, let’s keep things manageable and discuss just wines from there. Wines labeled for a specific grape variety have to be made with a minimum of 75 percent that grape by U.S. law. In practice, some varietally labeled wines are 100 percent the variety named and some are anywhere from the 75 percent to the 100 percent. Many times we have no way of knowing. But, let’s face it — if we like the wine, do we really have to care about knowing?\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to our specific label discussion for this week, there seem to be a number of California wines that are called “Claret.”  By law, once a wine does not have the minimum 75 percent of one variety in it needed to name the wine for the variety, it is allowed to name the wine anything it wants.\r\n\r\n“Claret” is a name that has some history to it. And some understanding attached to it of what sorts of grapes are probably in a wine with that name. The history of the name “claret” goes back several centuries to Bordeaux, France, and back to Latin, as well. The Latin word “clarus” means “clear.” And the Latin phrase “claratum vinum” means “clarified wine.”  In Old French the same phrase was “vin claret.”  And, crossing the English Channel, and speaking Middle English, it became just “claret.”\r\n\r\nAbout the 12th century, the wines made in Bordeaux were very popular in England.  Partly because the English King Henry (Plantagenet) II (1133-1189) was connected to French royal families in the Loire Valley and he was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine, a Southwestern region in France that included part of what is now the Bordeaux wine region.\r\n\r\nInterestingly, the Bordeaux wines of the 12th century, and into the 14th and 15th centuries, were not the same as they are currently. The word “claret” was loosely translated to mean pale, not just clear. And it was a good name for the paler almost rosé colored wines of that time.\r\n\r\nAs Henry, and his successors, began to not like the French as much as they had, and wars broke out, the English moved on from Bordeaux wines to Portuguese wines. But the name “claret” remained. It still refers to Bordeaux red wines, even though they are now much deeper shades of red, and to many wines that were and are styled after Bordeaux wines. For wines from California, this means the name “Claret” is used to suggest to buyers that a wine with this name is made from Bordeaux varieties — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. It is important that we, as the buyers of wines with this name, realize that California is allowed to use this name for any combination of the five Bordeaux grapes, all of them or some of them, and even for wines with mostly Bordeaux varieties and a splash of a non-Bordeaux grape. Still, we get the basic idea. A California “claret” is going to be that winery’s version of a Bordeaux.\r\n\r\nAnd, we move on to our winery and wine for this week: <b>Donati Family Vineyards Claret</b>. This wine comes from the Paicines AVA, an area in central California, about an hour from San Jose to the north and Monterrey to the west. When the Spanish missions worked their way up into California, this area was very important. When the missions were abandoned, their vineyards disappeared too. But, Almaden rediscovered this growing area 35 or 40 years ago. But, again, these vineyards were abandoned because they were being used to grow huge amounts of inexpensive grapes — more lucrative vineyards were found. And the Paicines area returned to growing high-end grapes for fine wines. DFV, Donati Family Vineyards, is the only winery located in the AVA. Their vineyards in the area are located at 500 to 1,200 feet above sea level. And it is like a wind tunnel here, a cool ocean breeze blowing through to the San Joaquin Valley. There are few trees to block these breezes. And, the evening fog lingers longer than in other areas. Annual rainfall is 12 to 15 inches.\r\n\r\nAll of which makes our wine what it is. The 2011 Donati Claret. This was a cool growing season, difficult for some growers, but it made elegant wines. The grapes ripened slowly, developing multiple, layered flavors. Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks, and punch-downs and punch-overs were done twice a day. (This is a process where the cap of grape pieces and pulp that forms at the top of a vat or tank is punched down into the wine for added flavors and colors and complexities.) All of the wine, 100 percent, is barrel aged for 19 months. Thirty-three percent new French oak, 4 percent new American oak and 66 percent neutral oak. This finished wine is a blend of 45 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 percent Merlot, 7 percent Malbec, 6 percent Cabernet Franc and 2 percent Petit Verdot. Yes, a true claret.\r\n\r\nOur wine tastes like strawberries and cherries and cranberries, black currants, plums, and cocoa powder and cola, all with a terrific smooth texture, which means it is ready to drink. Clearly.\r\n\r\nFor only $15.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'It’s all clear (at last)!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'its-all-clear-at-last', '', '', '2014-12-04 01:55:08', '2014-12-04 06:55:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20166', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Managing Director, Laura Maxey says, “Everyone I talk to says that they miss the holidays they had growing up, with family meals around the table, exchanging gifts they made for each other, and great music. We can’t help out with the cooking, but we can help take you back to that time in other ways.”\r\n\r\nThe ARTworks holiday gift gallery has been open since mid-November and will stay open until December 23. It features crafts and small artworks from local artists. The unique offerings include hand knit or hand dyed scarves, art prints, note cards of pen and ink drawings, purses, wall hangings, glass ornaments, ceramic pieces, and scrimshaw style drawings on oyster shells.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_20185\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"205\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Terry-in-cap.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-20185\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Terry-in-cap-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"Terry Herron will perform a Holiday Music concert on Dec. 7.\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" /></a> Terry Herron will perform a Holiday Music concert on Dec. 7.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe first holiday-themed concert that ARTworks will offer is a Holiday Music concert on Sunday, December 7, featuring popular holiday music from the 40s, 50s and 60s, such as “White Christmas”, “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, “Chestnuts Roasting”, and “Christmas in Dixie”. The show was produced by local jazz performer Terry Herron, who also performs as the lead male vocalist. Mr. Herron says that he envisioned the program as “a secular holiday show that everyone could enjoy. Many churches do concerts this time of the year, but it’s hard to find a fun, upbeat show with great music.”\r\n\r\nJoining Herron onstage will be Penney Lynn Smith of the Sweetgrass Angels and Scott Gibbs, a renowned local Gospel soloist. The three performers will be backed by Rick Radcliff on piano-synthesizer and Randall Reese on Clarinet, Alto &amp; Tenor Sax, and Flute. The performance will be a 3 p.m. matinee on December 7; tickets are $20.\r\n\r\nOn Friday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m., ARTworks will present A Celtic Christmas, with Carroll Brown and Harry O’Donoghue. Brown is well-known to local audiences as a singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist who often hosts the popular “Writers In The Round” songwriters series at ARTworks. Back for a third year with “A Celtic Christmas”, he says, “The concert will be a lively program filled with spiritual, Celtic, and traditional seasonal songs, along with Irish-themed stories and humor.”\r\n\r\nHarry O’Donoghue is a native of County Louth on the east coast of Ireland, who now resides in Savannah. He has been performing as a folksinger and master storyteller for over 30 years and co-produces and hosts the Green Island radio show for Georgia Public Broadcasting. The pair also lead annual tour groups of Americans through Ireland and Scotland, where they say that they are always on the search for new material to incorporate into their shows. Joining them again this year will be keyboard player Michael Murray. Tickets are $20.\r\n\r\nFor more information about ARTworks, call 843-379-2787 or www.beaufortcountyarts.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'Holiday cheer abounds at ARTworks', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'holiday-cheer-abounds-at-artworks', '', '', '2014-12-04 02:05:01', '2014-12-04 07:05:01', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20184', 0, 'post', '', 0),

What better way to step back, reconnect with the spirit of the season, and re-center oneself than to attend a USCB Festival Series Concert? The Sunday, December 14 program features two works of ethereal beauty by Baroque composers Heinrich Biber and Johann Sebastian Bach.\r\n\r\nBiber (pronounced “Bieber,” as in Justin Bieber — no relation) is represented by his <i>Passacaglia</i> for solo violin, from <i>Mystery Sonatas</i>, a set of pieces portraying the 15 Mysteries of the Rosary. Biber, the greatest violin virtuoso of the 17th century, pours the entire range of violin technique into the service of an ecstatic musical intent, with an outcome both dramatic and spiritual.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/image007.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-20188\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/image007-300x119.jpg\" alt=\"image007\" width=\"300\" height=\"119\" /></a>In 1741 J.S. Bach received a request for a set of keyboard variations from the Russian ambassador to the Dresden court, Count Kaiserling (pronounced “Keyserling,” as in Mayor Billy Keyserling — no relation). The count suffered from insomnia and wanted something “soothing and cheerful in character” to help calm his restless spirit.\r\n\r\nBach composed a set of 30 variations built on one of his earlier bass lines. Only two of his more than 1,000 works are sets of variations; he obviously intuited a great deal of potential in this bass line. With it he created a work that combines fervent emotion with intellectual brilliance and is more conducive to satisfying reflection than deep sleep.\r\n\r\nTo play sublime music requires technically secure, visionary players. Host and cellist Edward Arron is joined by two other Juilliard trained, internationally acclaimed artists: Violinist Colin Jacobson and violist Nicholas Cords. Both are touring members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, founding members of the Brooklyn Rider string quartet, and soloists with orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Chicago Symphony.\r\n\r\nTake some time for yourself this season. Unwind by listening to uninterrupted, awe-inspiring chamber music performed by artists of youthful vigor and masterful depth.\r\n\r\nAdditional information and tickets are available at www.uscb.edu/festivalseries or 843-208-8246, Monday through Friday. The USCB Center for the Arts on 801 Carteret Street opens at 4 p.m. on the day of the show, and the concert begins at 5 p.m., Sunday, December 14.', 'Chamber music to serve up Biber and Bach: Both well-done', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'chamber-music-to-serve-up-biber-and-bach-both-well-done', '', '', '2014-12-04 02:06:53', '2014-12-04 07:06:53', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20187', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Siegel</b>\r\n\r\nNo one chooses gifts with the intent to harm, but some popular children’s toys can cause serious injuries.\r\n\r\nAccording to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, nearly 257,000 toy-related injuries were treated in emergency rooms in 2013, and almost half of these injuries affect the head or face. In fact, about 1 in 10 children’s eye injuries treated in the ER trace back to toys. Unfortunately, most of these injuries happen to children under age 15.\r\n\r\n<b>“You’ll shoot your eye out”</b>\r\n\r\nSome propelling toys, like airsoft guns, arrows, BB guns, paintball guns and darts can be particularly hazardous, with the potential to cause serious eye injuries such as corneal abrasion, hyphema (bleeding inside the eye), traumatic cataract, increased intraocular pressure and even permanent vision loss.\r\n\r\nThe good news is that following a few toy safety tips can easily prevent most eye injuries.\r\n\r\n<b>Top Toy Safety Tips:</b>\r\n\r\n• Avoid purchasing toys with sharp, protruding or projectile parts.\r\n\r\n• Make sure children have appropriate supervision when playing with potentially hazardous toys or games that could cause an eye injury.\r\n\r\n• Ensure that laser product labels include a statement that the device complies with 21 CFR (the Code of Federal Regulations) Subchapter J.\r\n\r\n• Along with sports equipment, give children the appropriate protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses. Check with your eye doctor to learn about protective gear recommended for your child’s sport.\r\n\r\n• Check labels for age recommendations and be sure to select gifts that are appropriate for a child’s age and maturity.\r\n\r\n• Keep toys that are made for older children away from younger children.\r\n\r\n• If your child experiences an eye injury from a toy, seek immediate medical attention.\r\n\r\nHave a safe and happy holiday!\r\n<div></div>', 'Choose safe toys this holiday season', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'choose-safe-toys-this-holiday-season', '', '', '2014-12-04 02:23:06', '2014-12-04 07:23:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=20209', 0, 'post', '', 0),
